By RYAN TERRELL rterrell@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – The Westmont Park District has been awarded $2.5 million in grant dollars to help fund a proposed 10,000-square-foot arts center at Ty Warner Park.

The grant, made possible through the Department of Natural Resource and the Parks and Recreational Facility Construction Act, will fund 75 percent of the total costs of the project, according to the Park District. The remaining costs will be covered through existing funds, according to Westmont Park District Director Ron Gunter.

The multi-use building is proposed to offer early childhood to senior programming, cultural and performing arts programs and performances, fitness and dance classes, a banquet room for rentals and conferences, a home for the Progressive Village Performance Network and space for SEASPAR activities. It would be built on the north side of Ty Warner Park.

Situated on the north side of Ty Warner Park, the center would be a multifunctional space that serves individuals from “infancy to elderly,”

Westmont Park District Assistant Superintendent of Recreation Stephen Golembiewski said.

“This building would open a lot of doors for a lot of great programs,” Golembiewski said. “It would not only be used daily by the Park District, but also by the Westmont schools, clubs, businesses and organizations.”

The center’s proposed layout includes an 800-squarefoot early childhood and multi-use classroom, a 1,200foot dance studio, a performance stage, an outdoor terrace, a full-service kitchen and three multi-purpose rooms that could be used for everything from business lun-

“The conceptual we presented to the state is about 80 percent of what we want to do,” he said, adding there will be “a lot of meetings.”

The grant is good news for the Park District, which in 2009 lost out on another $2.5 million grant for the same proposal for a community and arts center at Ty Warner Park.

“We were told by the Department of Natural Resources that our project was well received in 2009,” Westmont Park District Director Bob Fleck said during a Westmont Village Board meeting earlier this year. “But it was apparently not good enough.

“This time around, we are putting in that extra effort – going the extra mile – to get the word out and build community support for this project. Without a PARC grant, we will not break ground on this project.”

Gov. Pat Quinn is expected to present the Westmont Park District with the grant dollars at an upcoming press conference.

cheons to wedding receptions, Golembiewski said.

Gunter said the Park District is still getting over the initial “shock” of winning the grant. He estimated only about a quarter of the grant applicants received the grant dollars.

“There was fierce competition,” he said. “We heard they had about $25 million to award initially, and there were over 200 applications. Only a quarter of applicants got it.

“We’re very excited. ...

Without this state money, this project doesn’t happen.”

The project is at least two to three years away from Alex Soulier contributed to completion, Gunter said. The Park District board will now this report.

Local chef brings ‘modern farm cuisine’ to Westmont hotel

By ALEX SOULIER WESTMONT – Chef Sean Patrick Curry showcases a cooking style all his own – creating seasonal dishes comprised of local meats and cheeses, fresh vegetables and delectable desserts, all seasoned with an east coast expertise and French flare.

The new executive chef at the Hilton Chicago/Oak Brook Hills Resort & Conference Center brings more than 20 years of experience to the kitchen and is now revamping the hotel’s bar and restaurant menu, elevating the banquet and catering service and introducing what he refers to as “modern farm cuisine.”

“The modern refers to contemporary, beautifully plated dishes – a lot of thought is put into presentation,” Curry said.

“The modern farm cuisine is being able to tell people where their food comes from. If we don’t grow it here, we’ll buy it local. It’s about old-school preparation mixed with new-

THE PROSTHODONTIST Q: What is a prosthodontist?

A: The prosthodontist is a dentist who specializes in the restorations – crowns, bridges, etc. – that go into a person’s mouth.

The prosthodontist also deals with facial deformities, which could occur, say, after removal of a cancerous portion of the mouth.

Prosthodontistry is one of several specialty areas under the general umbrella of dentistry. The prosthodontist, as is the case with all specialists, will have completed his general basic dental education and training, and then will go on for at least three more years of further study in an American Dental Association accredited graduate program.

The common procedures that a prosthodontist handles include the installation of dentures, fixed bridges, crowns, implants and veneers.

The work might be as simple as installing a single crown, or as complicated as a fullmouth restoration including the use of various appliances and implants. Again, as with most specialists, the prosthodontist would most likely limit his practice to his specialty and not engage in general dentistry. The prosthodontist, depending on the extent of the work needed by a patient might head a team of medical professionals, including your dentist, to manage a patient’s overall care. Talk with your dentist about the variety of dental specialists who would be available to you if needed.

WESTMONT – The village of Westmont and Westmont Fire Department is hosting an Adopt-a-Hydrant program in an effort to make sure fire hydrants remain visible in the winter.

“If this upcoming winter is as bad as last year, we will need help from our citizens to make sure our hydrants are snowfree,” Fire Chief Dave Weiss said in a news release.

The village is asking residents who are interested in the program to sign up and identify which hydrant they would like to adopt. The village hopes neighborhoods will work together to make sure that all hydrants in their area are adopted, according to a news release.

The Metra Board of Directors took a step toward revitalizing its aging fleet and closing budget shortfalls Thursday – at the expense of its riders’ pocketbooks.

The board announced an average 10.8 percent fare hike starting Feb. 15 and will seek additional increases totaling about 68 percent during the next decade in an effort to meet costs and help pay for a $2.4 billion capital plan, according to one of two news releases distributed Thursday on the matter.

The increase was part of Metra’s proposed 2015 budget, which totals $749.1 million in operations expenses and $328.9 million in capital needs.

“We expend a huge amount of resources – time, staff and money – on timely and extensive maintenance so that even our ‘vintage’ rolling stock is completely safe,” Metra Exec-

utive Director and CEO Don Orseno said in a release. “But, as the old saying goes, is this really any way to run a railroad?”

Metra needs $9.9 billion during the next 10 years to update its system, according to a 2013 report from the Regional Transportation Authority referenced in a release. About a quarter of the money is anticipated to come from traditional state and federal sources.

The rest is up to Metra to find.

Currently, more than 40 percent of Metra’s cars are from 1980 or before, with an average age of 29.7 years in 2012. The average for other similar rail services is about 19 years.

The aging cars were not replaced because Metra “has had no reliable funding source to make it possible,” a release stated.

By Audrey G. Freeman, Au.D. – Doctor of Audiology Unfortunately, the ramifications for leav-

ing hearing loss unaddressed can be significant. Numerous studies link unmanaged hearing loss to a wide range of physical and emotional conditions, including depression, impaired memory and ability to learn new tasks, increased risk to personal safety, reduced job performance and earning power, and diminished psychological and overall health.

Hearing loss is tough as its own problem, but it is often accompanied by other health issues which make the need to seek hearing help even more important.

Diabetes: The Better Hearing Institute (BHI) is urging people with diabetes to get their hearing tested. Hearing loss is about twice as common in people with diabetes compared to those without the disease according to the National Institute of Health. Yet, unlike eye exams, hearing health examinations are often overlooked in the routine regimen of care for people with diabetes. Research also suggests that by keeping diabetes under control, people can help minimize potential diabetes-related hearing damage.

Mild Depression and/or/Anxiety: The Better Hearing Institute (BHI) is also advising people with symptoms of

depression and/or anxiety to get their hearing checked and to address any diagnosed hearing loss. People with untreated hearing loss may be at an increased risk of depression.

“We’ve known for a long time that depression and hearing loss often exist together, particularly in people with untreated hearing loss,” says Sergei Kochkin, PhD, Executive Director of BHI. “In fact, when left unaddressed, hearing loss can lead to isolation and other emotional conditions that can affect both quality of life and mental health. But we also know that by treating hearing loss, the risk of associated depression and other mental health issues lessen significantly.”

“Depression knows no boundaries,” explains Kochkin. “It can affect anyone and can be brought on by any number of life factors, including chronic stress. By addressing hearing loss with hearing aids, we minimize the stress and isolation that hearing loss can bring, and we enable those with hearing loss to become more resilient against depression.

Dementia/Alzheimer’s: As evidence increases showing that there may be a connection between hearing loss and dementia, the Better Hearing Institute is

recommending hearing checks among Baby Boomers and Generation Xers. Because most hearing loss can be managed with hearing aids, the Institute is also encouraging those with hearing loss to be fitted with hearing aids when appropriate.

Several studies have considered the relationship between hearing loss and cognitive function.

One such study, conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins and the National Institute on Aging and published in the Archives of Neurology, found that seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing.

They study also found that the more hearing loss they had, the greater their likelihood of developing dementia.

In an effort to improve the quality of life for people with Alzheimer’s disease, Better Hearing Institute advocates that hearing checks, hearing healthcare, and hearing aids when appropriate, be included

in their regimen of care. According to the institute, unaddressed hearing loss can present an added, unnecessary strain on individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, and also on caregivers who suffer from hearing loss themselves.

No matter what your health situation is, call your local, professional audiologist to have your hearing evaluated. You have nothing to lose.

Westmont High celebrates homecoming with parade

WHEATON – A local nonprofit aimed at helping those affected by domestic violence is accepting submissions for a writing contest to coincide with the release of a new book and Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Family Shelter Service recently compiled “Hope Grows Here,” a book of stories and artwork by abuse survivors the agency works with.

Director of counseling and advocacy Amy Milligan said survivors often have a hard time discussing what they have been through and overcome.

“The words just kind of fail in the face of that trauma,” she said. “So these are some ways of expressing and really getting in touch with the strengths that brought them through that: their creativity, their quick thinking, their inner resilience.”

The goal of the project was to provide a way for survivors to channel their emotions into empowerment and exploration, she said. By putting their work in a book, survivors can see they are not alone, and those not familiar with domestic violence can use it as a resource.

The nonprofit hosted writing workshops and coffeehouse gatherings to generate the collection of stories, poetry and more, Milligan said. It also tapped members of its art expression support group to provide pieces to pair with submissions.

“For years and years, there was a lot of secrecy around the issue of domestic violence,” volunteer Carolyn Healy said. “I think the effort now is to have it become more visible and have it more apparent to the community that this is an issue that’s present and that there’s a lot of help and support available.”

Healy and Milligan are on a committee to extend the project.

Until Oct. 20, Family Shelter Service will collect nonfiction stories from survivors and anyone who has been affected by domestic violence – from police officers to friends of survivors – as part of its new “Stories of Resilience” contest, Healy said.

42 PERCENT: Taxes 27 PERCENT: Pensions 23 PERCENT: Jobs 8 PERCENT: Education

Remembering those lost to breast cancer

ENDORSEMENT

SPRINGFIELD – I stood alone at my mother’s grave last week, talking. I told her how my oldest daughter, Grace, is going out for basketball this year. How my middle daughter, Anna, looks more and more like her every day. And I told her how our youngest daughter, Caitlin, is as ornery as ever.

I do remember how she loved to hold those girls. I can still hear her voice singing VIEWS “Happy Birthday” and my Scott daughters’ delighted smiles as Reeder they began their special days with their grandmother’s voice coming across the phone line. Now, my 3-year-old, Caitlin, says she doesn’t remember Grandma. It makes me sad.

I remember my mother’s kind, blue eyes, her smile, her devotion to family and her ability to listen and hear not only what you’ve said but also what was being thought. To be honest, sometimes I think all of the October pink ribbons, shirts and merchandise trivialize just how pernicious breast cancer really is. For my mother it was a difficult 11-year battle. The chemotherapy left her bald. Sores developed on her feet. The cancer sapped her energy. Nausea haunted her for years.

It was not an easy life. But it was one she endured without complaining. Some folks call that courage. I call it character.

That said, I want my mother’s legacy to live on. One good thing about Breast Cancer Awareness Month is it gets us thinking about what we can do. Here are some thoughts: • If you’re a woman, schedule your next mammogram today.

• Give a cancer patient the most important thing that you can: you. Cook a meal. Sit by a bedside. Comfort a family member.

• There are lots of charities that help folks with breast cancer. Please donate or volunteer. Your help is needed.

Folks from my hometown of Galesburg did all of those things for my family. It was most appreciated.

A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. When mom first received her terminal prognosis five years ago, the family was devastated. Shortly after she was told the cancer was beyond cure, we had a birthday party for my eldest daughter. Mom wept while she sang “Happy Birthday.” Dad’s voice cracked while saying grace.

At times, during this long battle with cancer I was at a loss to know what to say to my mom. The only thing that seemed just right was “I love you.” Despite her difficulties, Mom always had a smile for her family. When folks ask what I remember most, that’s it. I love you, Mom.

Gov. Pat Quinn has had more than five years to guide Illinois toward a brighter fiscal future. Instead, his incompetent leadership and regressive policies have driven the state to the brink of financial collapse.

To that point: Illinois is bleeding jobs. State data released last month show that there are 102,000 fewer Illinoisans in the workforce now than when Quinn, a Democrat, took office in 2009.

That’s good for worst in the country. Illinois also is the only state in the Midwest in which food stamp enrollment has outpaced job creation – and by a 2-to-1 margin – since the Great Recession, again under Quinn’s watch.

Illinois has the worst credit rating of any state in the nation, meaning it pays more in interest when borrowing money. Under Quinn, national ratings agencies have downgraded the state’s credit rating 13 times. The state’s bonds are near “junk” status.

Illinois also has a worst-in-the-nation public pension deficit of $100 billion and growing.

Almost a quarter of every dollar that state government collects annually from taxpayers goes toward retirement benefits, not services.

Quinn stood on the sidelines as lawmakers worked on pension reform last year, offering no solution of his own to the state’s most pressing issue. The solution ultimately arrived at now appears likely to be thrown out in court, putting reform efforts back to square one.

Deadbeat state government owes social service agencies, school districts and other employers almost $5 billion for work completed months ago. Illinois’ worker’s compensation costs are fourth worst in the U.S., driving businesses and jobs elsewhere.

Quinn and Democratic state lawmakers also foisted a 67 percent income tax increase on wage earners in 2011, costing a household with annual income of $50,000 an additional $1,000 in taxes. Quinn promised it would be temporary, but now wants to make it permanent. He also wants to introduce a graduated income tax, another jobs killer.

Simply put, Quinn’s tenure as governor has been a complete failure.

WEB POLL QUESTION: What’s your favorite fall flavor? Vote online at mysuburbanlife.com.

Ill. governor: Rauner

Alex Soulier, news editor asoulier@shawmedia.com 630-427-6247

By contrast, Republican nominee for governor Bruce Rauner is a success story.

A self-made millionaire, he helped build a startup investment firm into one of the most successful businesses in the state. Rauner’s wealth was not given to him. He earned it. Yet Quinn, a lifelong politician, holds that against him. Success should be lauded, not vilified.

Because he is independently wealthy, Rauner will not be beholden to the special interests that have helped corrupt Springfield.

He says he will stand up to public employee union leaders who have fought tooth-and-nail against reform. He says he also will fight corruption and cronyism, which have thrived under Quinn in state government agencies such as the Department of Transportation and the Department of Agriculture.

Rauner understands that the state’s taxpayers are overburdened. He wants to phase out the Quinn income tax hike over four years, freeze property taxes, and shrink state government. He also wants to reduce the overall number of governmental bodies in Illinois.

Rauner pledges to be an active governor and live in Springfield. Unlike Quinn, Rauner says that he will be on the floor working legislation every day the General Assembly is in session. Rauner also is not a career politician; this is his first run for office. He supports term limits and, if elected, says he would serve at most two terms.

Rauner admits that he does not have all the answers. He understands that Illinois’ financial situation is so dire, he will need help.

He vows to surround himself with talented people whose focus will be righting the state’s fiscal ship, not political cronies looking for more taxpayer-funded handouts.

Rauner doesn’t need this job. He says he’s running because he believes in Illinois and wants to make it a better place to live.

Bruce Rauner gives Illinois hope. Gov. Pat Quinn offers more of the same failures.

Illinois can’t afford more of the same.

That’s why we endorse Rauner, the Republican nominee for governor.

2014 ELECTION CANDIDATES

| 2014 ELECTION GUIDE

STATE REPRESENTATIVE – 81ST DISTRICT

U.S. REPRESENTATIVE – 6TH DISTRICT

Why are you the best candidate for state representative/senate? Since I arrived in Springfield I have been a different type of legislator. I was the first member of the General Assembly to decline the offered state pension and health care benefits available to legislators. ... Leading the charge for reasonable term limits for all state elected officials is another important issue to me.

Do you think the Illinois Supreme Court ruling on a part of the pension reform bill passed should be tossed out as unconstitutional? I voted in favor of SB1 and by passing the bill we set the stage to allow the income tax increase to sunset Ron Sandack and put more money back in taxpayers’ pockets. … If deemed unconstitutional, we R-Downers have to go back to the drawing board, listening to instructive commentary from Grove the Supreme Court to fashion legislation.

Do you agree with the bill passed last year that gives DuPage County the authority to enact a stormwater fee? This is a permissive and enabling bill that merely grants DuPage County the ability to handle a local matter locally, if they want to do so at all. For this law to become effective the board must undertake a two year vetting.

Why are you the best candidate for Congress? I am focused on policies to build a 21st century economy where American innovation and hard work drives growth, so we can once again compete globally, creating jobs here at home.

Where do you stand on immigration reform? If our government will get serious about securing the border, we can then move on high-skilled visas; grant seasonal permits to agricultural workers; and set up a process by which undocumented immigrants can get right with the law. If we work through small bills that fix targeted problems, we will succeed in creating a smarter, more effective immigration Peter system.

Roskam What role should the U.S. play in regards to the ongoing conflicts throughout R-Wheaton the Mideast, including conflicts instigated by terror groups? There are a number of steps we can take besides putting boots on the ground, but we must take action now. …

The United States should maintain its commitment to NATO but encourage our European allies to play a more proactive, constructive role in confronting global challenges such as [the Islamic State] and Russian aggression towards Ukraine.

Why are you the best candidate for state representative/senate? I am committed to defending the high-quality public schools in the 81st District. I reject school vouchers and the notion that charter schools somehow are public schools. I stand with our local governments and will resist schemes to transfer local political power to Wheaton or Springfield.

Do you think the Illinois Supreme Court ruling on a part of the pension reform bill passed should be tossed out as unconstitutional? Solving our pension Liz Chaplin funding crisis must simultaneously balance fiscal, legal and political realities. …

If the Illinois Supreme Court invalidates SB1 we may have to look at the pension D-Downers funding crisis as a budgetary matter and simply accept that there isn’t a lawful Grove way to escape past promises made by the State of Illinois.

Do you agree with the bill passed last year that gives DuPage County the authority to enact a stormwater fee? Explain. I oppose the DuPage County rain tax. … Arguments that rain taxation is somehow “more fair” do not withstand scrutiny. Rain taxation is regressive and places unnecessary burdens on our local governments, schools, churches and other nonprofits.

Why are you the best candidate for Congress? I will work across party lines to get the country moving forward. ... I will propose and support job creation legislation, investment in education, responsible deficit reduction, campaign finance reform, sensible immigration reform, women’s rights, increased minimum wages, comprehensive tax reform (both individual and corporate) and climate preservation.

Where do you stand on immigration reform? I support the fundamentals of Senate Bill S744. This is a comprehensive bill that was designed to secure the border, Michael modernize and streamline the system, and provide some type of a legalization Mason system for those already in the country.

D-Naperville What role should the U.S. play in regards to the ongoing conflicts throughout the Mideast, including conflicts instigated by terror groups? The course that we have taken, forming a coalition of Arab states, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Jordan is exactly the appropriate thing to do. We should not place combat troops in the region other than as advisers and trainers. ... The one sure thing that the U.S. can count on is that Israel will always be our staunchest ally in the region. Regardless of what transpires, the U.S. must always maintain the current relationship we have with Israel.

Why are you the best candidate for the DuPage County Board?

What is your opinion on the measures the county has taken to address the John Curran heroin crisis? What is the future of heroin prevention in the county?

How should the county proceed with government consolidation? Consolidation should be done if it makes government more efficient and does not take away needed service to the residents of DuPage. ...

STATE SENATE – 24TH DISTRICT Do you think the Illinois Supreme Court ruling on a part of the pension reform bill passed should be tossed out as unconstitutional? Seeing as the court has yet to release a ruling, it is simply not known at this time what the limitations of an alternative plan to meet pension obligations will be. However, I believe that such reforms should be thoughtfully debated and discussed with the representation of all individuals affected by the various state pension systems.

Will you vote for or against making the 67 percent income tax hike permanent Chris Nybo if faced with such a vote? The 2011 income tax increase must expire, as provided R-Elmhurst in the law. Not only did I oppose the idea of the tax increase, but I also sponsored measures to repeal it just after I was sworn into office in 2011. I would forcefully oppose and work against any effort to make this “temporary” tax increase permanent. ... Democratic leaders were not able to solve the state’s fiscal problems with the $26 billion generated by the deceptively-passed tax increase.

Where do you stand on proposed plans for a progressive income tax in Illinois? I do not support any efforts to move Illinois’ income tax structure from a flat rate to a progressive rate. This would be another income tax increase on a majority of Illinois citizens. ... After observing how the “temporary” income tax increase has failed its intended purpose, the fundamental flaws in a tax-and-spend regime are realized now more than ever.

Do you think the Illinois Supreme Court ruling on a part of the pension reform bill passed should be tossed out as unconstitutional? It is essential that we find a solution which is both constitutionally viable and which produces substantial savings. I am encouraged by the framework proposed in [Senate Bill] 2404, which includes a guarantee to prevent future misuse of funds, would allow for substantial savings to the state, and is considered to be more likely to pass constitutional muster. Just as important, Illinois cannot afford to miss any future Suzanne pension payments and deepen our pension burden.

Will you vote for or against making the 67 percent income tax hike perGlowiak manent if faced with such a vote? Our most important focus should be D-Western expanding the tax base by creating a business-friendly environment and Springs getting the state back to work. We need to decrease the income tax rate and focus on cutting waste from state spending and on getting our state back to work. ... Rolling back the rates will ultimately increase revenues by promoting economic growth and expanding the tax base.

Where do you stand on proposed plans for a progressive income tax in Illinois? A graduated tax – or any other tax proposal – should not increase the tax burden on middle class families, or simply mask an extension of the current rate. In the event of a constitutional referendum on a specific proposal, I will respect the voters of my district and represent their interest in Springfield.

DUPAGE COUNTY CLERK

DUPAGE COUNTY SHERIFF

Why are you the best candidate for DuPage County clerk? My experience; I am the only candidate running that has worked in the county clerk’s office for over 18 years. I was hired as a tax revenue specialist and worked my way through the office to chief deputy county clerk. I have the working knowledge of every aspect of the office.

What is the future of the clerk’s office? The future of the county clerk’s office is to continue to computerize, automate and improve online access.

Paul Hinds What should the relationship between the DuPage County Election Commission and the clerk be? For the past 40 years, since the creation of the election R-Villa Park commission, the county clerk’s office has worked with the commission providing them new properties and annexations, to ensure that each voter has the correct ballot style. I will be open to working with Chairman Cronin and the DuPage Election Commission to evaluate if it would be cost effective to have the county clerk’s office oversee elections. Special legislation would be required for the clerk’s office to conduct elections.

Why are you the best candidate for DuPage County sheriff? Qualification for the position of sheriff begins with personal strength of character: integrity, perseverance, pride, loyalty and a sense of caring. I believe that I possess these traits and have never lost sight or wavered from my position, my oath or my purpose. ... As sheriff I have initiated many innovative programs. … I have learned efficiency, the importance of transparency and of doing more with less.

What is the future of the Sheriff’s Office? The emergence of cheap heroin in John Zaruba the suburbs is killing our children. ... Education and prevention, treatment and law enforcement are all required. … The increasing incidence of crimes against R-Wheaton women, senior citizens and children is a growing problem in society. … It takes a community effort to ensure appropriate first responder action and professional follow-up to prevent escalation and recidivism. Importance of police use-of-force policy. I have created written policies that require the minimum amount of force necessary.

How should the county best invest in the Sheriff’s Office? As the sheriff of DuPage County, I have demonstrated proven financial efficiency in operating the second largest Sheriff’s Office in Illinois in an extremely cost-effective manner. ... I have been successful in obtaining federal and state grant funding for major projects including construction projects, such as the crime laboratory. I worked closely with DuPage County government in obtaining investment funding for state-of-the-art technologies.

Why are you the best candidate for DuPage County clerk? I have a demonstrated passion for good government, especially our electoral process. I attend all election commission board meetings and have been carefully monitoring all aspects of running our elections. That’s what every county clerk should be doing. It’s time for election administration to be returned to the clerk’s office where it belongs. Until that transition occurs, transparency is overdue at the clerk’s office.

What is the future of the clerk’s office? The county clerk’s office should go “back Jean to the future.” Until 1974, the clerk’s office administered the electoral process. A county board ordinance separated that duty from the clerk’s office and created Kaczmarek the election commission. However, that same ordinance permits the county clerk D-Glen Ellyn to be on the election commission board at no additional compensation. No clerk has done so ... As county clerk, I will immediately serve on the election commission.

What should the relationship between the DuPage County Election Commission and the clerk be? For years, I’ve been advocating for consolidating the election commission with the county clerk’s office. I would champion this move as county clerk. Such a consolidation aligns perfectly with the county’s ongoing ACT Initiative – accountability, consolidation and transparency.

Why are you the best candidate for DuPage County sheriff? As sheriff, I will be an accountable working sheriff. As sheriff, I will gain the trust of the citizens of DuPage County by being a true representative and not a politician. As a representative, I will reach out and communicate with the people of DuPage County and solicit their suggestions and concerns. As sheriff, I will return ethics to the Sheriff’s Office.

What is the future of the Sheriff’s Office? During the current sheriff’s 17 years Mike Quiroz in office, he has created one of the highest paid correction and court security divisions in the state, if not the country. ... Overpaying these divisions, the Sheriff’s D-West Office is unable to have enough funding to maintain full staffing. ... As your new Chicago sheriff … these divisions would have a pay scale at a reduced rate of pay similar to our neighboring counties’ sheriff’s departments.

How should the county best invest in the Sheriff’s Office? The Sheriff’s Office managed correctly could be an asset to all citizens and law enforcement agencies in the county. The current sheriff is overpaying 270 deputies, which leaves the Sheriff’s Office understaffed. ... The best way to invest in the Sheriff’s Office is to replace the 17-year incumbent and replace him with a sheriff who can manage with fresh new ideas to bring the Sheriff’s Office into the 21st century.

• METRA

Continued from page 6

Metra rail stock facts n Metra has 146 locomotives,

837 passenger cars and 186 Highliner cars. n The average age of a Metra car in 2012 was 29.7 years. n The plan aims to have 367 new cars to replace 318 with an average age of 43 years.

Kirk Wilk, 45, rides Metra about three times a week from Downers Grove and utilizes a reduced fare card.

“Even with a reduced fare, they still raise the fare,” Wilk said. “They seem to raise the fare every year regardless of what they need.”

Metra is considering increasing the price of an onboard ticket to $5 from $3 and weekend passes from $7 to $8 and instituting a general no-refund policy.

The proposal doesn’t cover the remaining several billion in upgrades to tracks, structures, signals, facilities, stations and more that Metra aims to accomplish in the coming years, although a release indicated additional plans would be developed.

“Metra can no longer ‘kick this can down the road’ and continue with cobbled-together solutions on its aging system,” Board Chairman Martin Oberman said in a release. “A safe, reliable, comfortable ride has a price tag ...”

Reporter Kelli Murray contributed to this story.

WMP

Downers Grove resident and daily Metra passenger Monika Quinn, 42, expressed concern about the fare increase.

“It’s been increasing every year,” Quinn said. “I understand the increase, but lately [the ride] has been so bad because of delays and there is not a lot of communication to passengers and that really bothers me.”

The board’s plan allocates $1.2 billion for 367 new cars and $416 million for 52 locomotives, among other expenses.

To help meet costs, Metra plans to issue $100 million in bonds – or a similar funding method – in 2015 for the first time in its history.

About 16 percent of the $2.4 billion would be funded by the fair increase. Metra will seek additional federal and state money as well, according to a release.

The increase also stemmed from a projected $27.3 million deficit in next year’s budget, despite a more than $18 million growth in external funds.

Although ticket prices may rise up to 22 percent, the board did grant relief on a few options.

A discount on 10-ride tickets, eliminated in 2013, may be reinstated, as may a grace period on monthly tickets, making them valid through noon on the first business day of each month. One-way tickets also could last up to 90 days.

Why You Need Gutter Guards Gutters provide a very important service to your home. If they clog, it could be disastrous, both inancially and structurally. When gutters clog, it is usually too late and the damage is done. Constant cleaning is not worth the time, expense and constant wear and tear on your home. The risk of personal injury, legal and insurance problems are too great. You need the secure peace-of-mind protection that Raindrop Gutter Guards provide.

History of Raindrop Gutter Guard With 30 Years of experience in the Rooing Industry, Steve Nitch saw the need for a better gutter protection product.

He wanted to ofer a product that contractors could sell with integrity & honesty to their customers.

With determination and his family behind him, Raindrop Gutter Guard was born.

Testimonials From one of our irst customers “after 11 years the gutters were still clean� -Jim A. - IL

“Had a real downpour‌Good test for the gutter guards. They worked well. I’m pleased with their performance.â€? -Bovie B. - TX “Best gutter guards ever!

-Edger S. - WI

“Prior to using Raindrop I had call backs and problems with other products. Companies that claim to rate gutter protection don’t take into account climate. In our northern climate, Raindrop is the only nonconductive, high volume system that gives good water shedding and will not conduct cold to the edge.

By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com LISLE – A trio of British tree experts recently traveled across the pond to do a bit of leaf peeping in the name of science, journeying to Lisle’s Morton Arboretum to take in the autumn color.

Dendrologist Dan Crowley and tree team supervisor Richard Townsend of Westonbirt, the United Kingdom’s national arboretum, visited Morton on Sept. 23 with arborist Jon Harmer of the country estate Wakehurst Place in the hopes of viewing and collecting select trees from the arboretum known to display fall colors.

“Our oak collection and our maple collection are especially rich in different species,” said Morton Manager of Plant Records Ed Hedborn, who served

as a tour guide for the group.

He said the visitors were particularly interested in seeing the arboretum’s native hickories, Dan Crowley oaks and maples. Dendrologist Hedborn said the Morton maple collection’s diversity expands the fall palette of the trees, creating a canopy that includes yellow, burgundy and everything in between. Among Morton’s maples are plants from France, Germany, China and Japan.

Its oaks are equally international, he said, and feature trees from Russia and Mexico.

Because of the variety, the arboretum’s fall hues span from mid-September to November.

The weather also affects the trees and how they change,

according to Hedborn, who said the ideal climate for color brightness includes sunny days, cool nights and lots of moisture.

“The scale of operations at the Morton [Arboretum] was something to behold,” Crowley wrote via email. “It is, of course, an inspiring place to learn about trees.”

He and his colleagues were most invested in studying Illinois’ native flora, he said, specifically the genus Carya, or hickory, which they are compiling for Westonbirt’s National Collection of Juglandaceae, or the walnut family.

“The Caryas are great for autumn,” he said.

The visit to Morton is one of several the group is making on a 2,000-mile trip across the country, which was scheduled to stop at sites in Missouri, the Carolinas and Georgia.

YARD WASTE/LEAF COLLECTION Yard waste includes leaves, grass clippings, twigs, small branches and other garden refuse. Collection begins April 1 and continues through the second week of December.

Yard waste must be placed in one of the following: • 33-gallon biodegradable paper bag • 33-gallon unlined can • Republic yard waste cart. (Call Republic at 630-964-3232 for pricing. A garbage sticker is not required.)

Carts or cans must be clearly identified as yard waste. Please mark any yard waste containers on the outside as YARD WASTE, or contact the Village for a decal.

New head of school takes reins at Avery Coonley School

• WE DELIVER ALL MENU ITEMS • WE CATER ALL EVENTS • Broasted Chicken • Voted BEST Wings • Customer’s FAVORITE Nacho’s

By KELLI MURRAY DOWNERS GROVE – One of the first orders of business Paul Druzinsky attended to when he took over as head of school for Avery Coonley School, an independent school for academically gifted children in Downers Grove, Paul was to place a Druzinsky chess board in his office.

It was important for him to connect with the students.

“I never had a chess set in my office before, but I was told that a kindergartner would come in here and beat me in chess,” Druzinsky said.

The chess board is more symbolic of the student body he oversees, he added.

While Druzinsky, 56, has more than three decades of experience in private and independent schools, Avery Coonley is his first academically gifted set-

“I have strong belief and love of public schools, and my three boys have gone to public schools,” Druzinsky said. “What I really love about an independent school is that it is a little less bureaucracy, and has the ability to have smaller classrooms and personal attention to children.”

He received his undergraduate degree from Claremont McKenna College and his master’s degree in education from Harvard.

Druzinsky began his career as a drama teacher and department chair at Francis Parker School in Chicago, his alma mater.

Druzinsky doesn’t focus on the gifted aspect of the school as much as an encompassing and holistic view of the school.

“It is important schools remain student-focused,” Druzinsky said.

The turn of events appeared to catch neighbors by surprise Monday.

According to the complaint, Khan purchased a round-trip ticket Sept. 26 to travel from Chicago to Istanbul, departing Saturday and returning later this week.

After observing Khan passing through the security screening checkpoint Saturday, federal agents executed a search warrant at Khan’s residence and recovered multiple handwritten documents that appeared to be drafted by Khan

Khan was initially approached by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers and was later interviewed by FBI agents at the airport, accord-

Attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, according to the police.

BOLINGBROOK – Neighbors described the Bolingbrook man accused of attempting to join ISIL and his family as “nice” and “friendly.”

There was nothing in their observations of Mohammed Hamzah Khan, 19, to suggest he would be on his way to join a group that has become notorious for its beheadings and is now the chief target of U.S. anti-terrorism efforts. But that’s what prosecutors said Khan was about to do before he was apprehended Saturday at O’Hare International Airport.

“The kid seemed kind of nice,” said Aimy Wipfler, who lives down the street from the Khans and would occasionally see Mohammed riding his bike.

But prosecutors in court Monday said their evidence includes a letter written by Khan describing Western society as “immoral” and complaining that his U.S. taxes were being spent to kill his “Muslim brothers and sisters.”

Khan has been charged with attempting to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney Northern District of Illinois office.

entire family, including Mohammed, seemed nice, he said.

Wipfler said the family appeared to be somewhat withdrawn, and the curtains to the house were typically drawn.

Wipfler said she saw Khan going to the Furqaan Academy, an Islamic school located across the street from his house.

According to the release from the U.S. Attorney’s office, members of the Chicago FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force took Khan, a U.S. citizen, into custody without incident at O’Hare International Airport, where he supposedly attempted to fly to Vienna on his way to Istanbul.

To the Electors of the State of Illinois: The purpose of a state constitution is to establish a structure for government and laws. There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may propose changes to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in the Legislative Article. The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTION 8.1 OF ARTICLE I OF THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE I – BILL OF RIGHTS SECTION 8.1. CRIME VICTIMS’ VICTIM’S RIGHTS.

(a) Crime victims, as defined by law, shall have the following rights as provided by law: (1) The right to be treated with fairness and respect for their dignity and privacy and to be free from harassment, intimidation, and abuse throughout the criminal justice process.

(2) The right to notice and to a hearing before a court ruling on a request for access to any of the victim’s records, information, or communications which are privileged or confidential by law.

(3) (2) The right to timely notification of all court proceedings.

(4) (3) The right to communicate with the prosecution.

(5) (4) The right to be heard at any post-arraignment court proceeding in which a right of the victim is at issue and any court proceeding involving a post-arraignment release decision, plea, or sentencing. make a statement to the court at sentencing.

(6) (5) The right to be notified of information about the conviction, the sentence, the imprisonment, and the release of the accused.

(7) (6) The right to timely disposition of the case following the arrest of the accused.

(8) (7) The right to be reasonably protected from the accused throughout the criminal justice process.

(9) The right to have the safety of the victim and the victim’s family considered in denying or fixing the amount of bail, determining whether to release the defendant, and setting conditions of release after arrest and conviction.

(10) (8) The right to be present at the trial and all other court proceedings on the same basis as the accused, unless the victim is to testify and the court determines that the victim’s testimony would be materially affected if the victim hears other testimony at the trial.

(11) (9) The right to have present at all court proceedings, subject to the rules of evidence, an advocate and or other support person of the victim’s choice.

(12) (10) The right to restitution. (b) The victim has standing to assert the rights enumerated in subsection (a) in any court exercising jurisdiction over the case. The court shall promptly rule on a victim’s request.

The victim does not have party status. The accused does not have standing to assert the rights of a victim. The court shall not appoint an attorney for the victim under this Section. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to alter the powers, duties, and responsibilities of the prosecuting attorney The General Assembly may provide by law for the enforcement of this Section. (c) The General Assembly may provide for an assessment against convicted defendants to pay for crime victims’ rights. (d) Nothing in this Section or any law enacted under this Section creates a cause of action in equity or at law for compensation, attorney’s fees, or damages against the State, a political subdivision of the State, an officer, employee, or agent of the State or of any political subdivision of the State, or an officer or employee of the court. or in any law enacted under (e) Nothing in this Section or any law enacted under this Section shall be construed as creating (1) a basis for vacating a conviction or (2) a ground for any relief requested by the defendant appellate relief in any criminal case.

EXPLANATION The Constitution sets forth substantial rights for crime victims. The proposed amendment expands certain current rights: 1) Victims are currently entitled to fairness and respect throughout the criminal justice process. The amendment would also provide that they shall be protected from harassment, intimidation and abuse.

2) Victims currently can make a statement to the court when a criminal defendant is sentenced to punishment. The amendment would allow a victim to be heard at any proceeding that involves the victim’s rights, and any proceeding involving a plea agreement, release of the defendant or convicted individual, or sentencing.

3) Victims may obtain information about conviction, sentencing, imprisonment or release. The amendment would require prosecutors and the court to notify victims of those events before they happen.

The amendment would also grant additional rights to crime victims: 1) A victim would have a right to formal notice and a hearing before the court rules on any request for access to the victim’s information which is privileged or confidential information.

2) A victim would have the right to have the judge consider the victim’s safety and the safety of his or her family before deciding whether to release a criminal defendant, setting the amount of bail to be paid before release, or setting conditions of release after arrest or conviction.

3) The victim would have the right to assert his or her rights in any court with jurisdiction over the criminal case, but would not have the same rights as the prosecutor or the criminal defendant and the court could not appoint an attorney for the victim at taxpayer expense.

The proposed amendment would not alter the powers, duties or responsibilities of the prosecutor. Further, a criminal defendant would not be able to challenge his or her conviction on the basis of a failure to follow these provisions.

FORM OF BALLOT Proposed Amendment to the 1970 Illinois Constitution

Explanation of Amendment The proposed amendment makes changes to Section 8.1 of Article I of the Illinois Constitution, the Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights. The proposed amendment would expand certain rights already granted to crime victims in Illinois, and give crime victims the ability to enforce their rights in a court of law. You are asked to decide whether the proposed amendment should become part of the Illinois Constitution.

“ Most of our younger students take a combo class of ballet and jazz techniques but it’s fused with hip hop and pons.

They are learning technique without realizing it while having fun,” said Haefele.

“Our dance curriculum prepares our older students to dance on high school teams, in college and with other dance groups because they will always need the proper foundations,” said Haller.

Haller points out that Pure Vibe’s staff of working professional dancers allows students the opportunity to learn from well-rounded dancers.

“We have male and female instructors who are members in a variety of professional dance companies in the city. Our students have the opportunity at a young age to work with professionals.”

The TV reality dance show “So You Think You Can Dance” drives home the importance of a thorough dance background.

“The dancer that makes it the farthest on the show is the one that can do all styles,” said Haller.

Art show gives venue for artists, pro and amateur

By RYAN TERRELL rterrell@shawmedia.com WOODRIDGE – For the 14th year, the Woodridge Public Library is giving local artists a platform to share their talents.

The 14th annual Woodridge Art Show kicked off Friday with a Meet the Artists reception. The show features the work of 22 local artists – most are from Woodridge.

“The library is an important cultural center here in Woodridge, and these art shows have been successful in the past,” said Patty Nesbit, Public Relations and Program Coordinator for the Woodridge Library. “We’ve had a lot of patrons and community members turn out to see the work of local artists.”

The Woodridge Art Show is one of a handful of events that display local artists’ works throughout the year at the library. In April, Downers Grove South High School students displayed their work at the library.

More than 50 pieces of artwork are on display in the lobby of the library as part of the Woodridge Art Show. The artwork includes photographs, oils, pastels, collage, tapestry and threadwork, Nesbit said.

The artists whose work is on display range from professionals to hobbyists. Many just like to share their artistic expressions with people, especially their community.

“This is home field advantage for me – this is great, to have my neighbors see my work,” said Ed Savant, a Woodridge resident and aspiring

professional photographer. “A lot of people go to the library and many have an appreciation for the arts and expanding their horizons. It’s a really good audience for me.”

Savant, who specializes in travel and nature photography, is displaying three pieces at the art show: a sunset shot from Lemont, a photo of a pier in the Florida Keys and another sunset photo shot right here in Woodridge.

“I love to go to the Keys,” he said. “The [Woodridge] sunset shot was taken where the sun is behind the clouds and you can see the rays. It’s a good dimension shot.”

Savant hopes to take his photography hobby professional when he retires. For now, he posts his work at edsavantphotography.com.

Another artist whose work is on display – Debbi Henderson – sees it as both a hobby and a revenue stream. Henderson sells her mixed media collages, but you won’t find big price tags on her pieces.

“I really believe in the concept of affordable art,” the Woodridge resident said. “I could probably charge more for my work, but I don’t believe that’s how art should be. If you really love it, you should be able to buy it.”

Her pieces are available for $30 each. She’s even sold some collages to children, she said.

“It’s humbling and flattering,” Henderson said.

Mixed media involves taking an image and “turning it into something different.”

Continued from page 32 “I buy very old magazines off of eBay, cut them up and add painting in the background for details. ... I specialize in creepy stuff, like ghosts, Halloween. It’s my favorite time of the year, and I just like unusual images,” she said.

Beverly Raddle, also a Woodridge resident, is new to the Woodridge Art Show. She’s displaying an oil painting she created after taking art classes.

“I just enjoy it as a hobby. It takes my mind off everything else and just allows me to re-

lax,” Raddle said. “There is no right or wrong when you’re painting.”

She decided to display her piece of abstract art after her instructor at the College of DuPage encouraged her.

“I thought I would just see if I could get any comments on it from the art show,” she said.

As Savant attested, art provides another opportunity to view the beautiful things that can be captured or created.

“Beauty is all around us – it’s all about taking time to look at it,” he said.

Artwork will be on display through the end of the month during library hours.

Fitness fundraiser to ‘kick cancer’s butt’

By DAN FARNHAM

If you go

dfarnham@shawmedia.com WOODRIDGE – Every kick will count – literally – during the Kick for the Cure fundraiser from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday at 9Round Fitness & Kickboxing in Woodridge.

Locations of the fitness franchise are participating in the event, where money will be donated toward breast cancer research based on the number of kicks patrons perform as part of their workout routine.

The Woodridge location, 1001 W. 75th St., has been open for six months, but owner Cindy Sciaky said she wanted to participate in the franchisewide event.

“The kick-a-thon is going to mesh in with our regular workout,” she said. “The workout will be mostly kicking and donated money based on the amount of kicks we get.”

Sciaky said the concept of 9Round is to give customers an intense, full-body work-

The circuit-style workout is 30 minutes and nine stations, combining aerobic, anaerobic and resistance training.

Patrons spend three minutes at each station with 30 second intervals in between

when everyone does the same exercise shouted out by trainers.

“They love it,” Sciaky said.

“It’s a stress reliever. There’s an adrenaline rush. You don’t know how many moms say they are better parents after

doing these exercises.”

During the fundraiser, patrons will be responsible for counting how many kicks they do, with a certain amount of money donated per kick.

The number of kicks done also can earn a membership

discount for first-time patrons.

Sciaky said she thinks participants will get competitive about the number of kicks they can do, knowing that more kicks means more money raised.

The also has sold $20 T-shirts for the event, with the money going toward the fundraiser.

Sciaky said the fundraiser will resonate because many people know someone who has been affected by breast cancer.

Restaurant reviews

Japanese cuisine is on a roll at Sushi Mono WHEATON – Food cravings have a way of burrowing down into the absolute pit of my stomach and staying there until satiated. Like a troll under a bridge controlling the action, my stomach often waves a hand at the trifles of a salad and instead demands a giant slice of pizza.

While I try to stay strong in these moments, I both believe that life is too short to deny cravings for too long, and that if I do deny them, I will erupt like Cookie Monster from “Sesame Street,” devouring all in my wake.

Thankfully, I was asked to review Sushi Mono in downtown Wheaton just as I was having a minor craving flare-up. It turns out to be a good suburban destination to scratch that particular itch, complete with large portions, a variety of different rolls and a classy atmosphere to tie it together.

Its dramatic interior carries red and black tones throughout, for the feel of an upscale sushi restaurant.

Well-decorated, it avoids being too busy with random knick-knacks. The dining room with its exposed barrel ceiling is staffed by a generous wait crew, who were all appropriately attentive.

For my first visit, I decided to cast the widest net possible – no fish pun intended – and get a sushi trio special. The three rolls were preceded by a standard miso soup in a fun little container, plus a lovely mixed green salad with a creamy citrus dressing.

The three players for the main event were dragon, shiitake mushroom and spicy tuna rolls, all with big positives in their own ways.

First, the dragon, whose savory eel, shrimp tempura and tobiko – fish roe – combination was a welcome and warm change of pace from classic sushi. The shrimp had a nice crunch, adding texture to the roll. It probably could have used a dash more of unagi sauce, but it is also one of my

The mushroom roll was an interesting one, with salty, savory flavor from the soy sauce marinade. It had a nice chewy texture and was balanced with a hit of sweetness. And the spicy tuna was actually spicy, a relative rarity for many sushi spots. It was light on the mayo, which also was welcome.

During a second visit, I decided I needed to scratch my itch just a bit further, and snared a pair of nigiri – sweet egg and salmon toro. I had never tried the former before, but was pleasantly surprised.

The egg remained the dominating flavor, but had hints of salty and sweet that added a lot of depth. The salmon toro was perfectly fatty and served at a good temperature, which is important in such cuisine.

I ended my foray into the world of Sushi Mono with a gigantic bowl of tonkotsu ramen, another deep and notso-guilty pleasure. The wonderful smell of pork broth hit me from tables away, and the comforting taste backed it up in a great way. It was surprisingly creamy in texture, and its noodles were just right.

Sentinels run over Reed-Custer

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – Westmont’s relentless two-headed running attack carried the Sentinels to their second straight victory Friday.

Tailback Quintin Brown and quarterback Kyle Domin shouldered most of the offensive burden, combining 488 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns en route to a 5541 victory during Reed Custer.

Friday’s win was Westmont’s second straight victory and third of the season at home, moving the Sentinels to 4-3 overall.

“It feels good to extend the streak and get the win on homecoming in front of our

fans,” Brown said. “We are just trying to improve with every game and build our confidence. The offense is really clicking right now.”

But on the first possession of the game, it was the Sentinels’ defense that generated momentum by forcing backto-back Reed-Custer three-andouts and giving the home team advantageous field position.

On their opening drive of the game, the Westmont offense went 40 yards in 6 plays, capped by 12-yard run by Domin.

The Sentinels quickly padded their 7-0 lead the following drive. Beginning at their own 34-yard line, Brown corralled a screen pass from Domin, evaded two Reed-Custer defenders,

turned the corner and sprinted 66 yards down the sideline and into the end zone.

Head coach Otto Zeman said the senior running back continues to shine as an explosive, home-run hitter, while the first-year quarterback has done an exemplary job pacing the Sentinels’ offense. “[Domin and Brown] have become a formidable one-two punch on offense,” Zeman said. “Because of his speed and athleticism, Brown is an extremely dangerous in the open field. Kyle [Domin] has shown an ability to eat up chunks of yards between the tackles and find open receivers.”

Reed Custer cut the Westmont advantage to 21-14 in the opening minutes of the second

quarter, but Brown again delivered a highlight-reel play, ripping off a 58-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-1 to push the lead back to two scores.

“My eyes kind of light up when I see open field in front of me,” Brown said. “On that play, the line and receivers did a great job of holding their blocks and giving me a lane down the left sideline.”

The Sentinels led 33-21 going into the half, but both defenses struggled coming out of the locker room as Westmont and Reed-Custer traded big plays and touchdowns in the third quarter.

Reed-Custer had a chance to tie the game at 48 with seven minutes left in the third quarter but was called for

false start, holding and personal foul penalties in the same drive and was forced to punt.

The ensuing possession, Domin’s 1-yard touchdown scamper sealed the victory for the Sentinels.

Westmont will host Manteno at 7:30 p.m. Friday in an Interstate Eight crossover matchup.

With just two games left on the schedule, the Sentinels need one win to become playoff eligible, and Zeman thinks it’s just a matter of getting his players to believe.

“We’ve proven that we can play with anyone, that we can beat anyone,” he said. “This week, it’s all about getting the team to buy in, play for each other and believe that they can take the final step.”

Mustangs victory extends winning streak to four

Downers Grove North’s Kenny Yeo finds running room between York defenders during Friday’s game in Elmhurst. Yeo scored three touchdowns in his first start at quarterback.

Yeo powers Downers Grove North

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – As far as debuts go, they don’t get much better than the performance Kenny Yeo had Friday night.

Starting his first game at quarterback, the Downers Grove North senior led the Trojans to a 33-14 football win against York.

“I came out and I knew I was going to play my hardest and wasn’t going to let anything stop me,” Yeo said.

Yeo’s enthusiasm after a successful debut as quarterback was evident. So was his energy level during the game. His 31-yard touchdown run opened the scoring early in the second quarter, and later in the game he had 36- and 1-yard scoring runs, the latter of which put an exclamation point on the game with 1:28 to play.

All told, Yeo carried the ball 37 times. The rest of North’s rushers combined for 24 carries.

Yeo and early season starter David Edwards shared time under center in the first half.

Edwards plowed into the end zone for a 5-yard touchdown run that made it a 13-0 game with 4:39 to go before halftime, but he came up hobbling and Yeo ran the show the rest of the night. He credited his blockers

“I came out and I knew I was going to play my hardest and wasn’t going to let anything stop me.”

Kenny Yeo Downers Grove North QB with helping him have a memorable debut.

“I’m really excited,” Yeo said. “Shout out to my offensive line. They did all the work. I just ran behind them; they did everything for me.”

Jared Whitacre added a 5-yard scoring run in a victory that upped North’s record to 2-5 overall and 1-3 in the West Suburban Silver. The fifth loss means the Trojans are not eligible for a postseason berth, but Yeo said he and his teammates aren’t just playing out the string.

“This team has a bunch of character, a bunch of pride,” Yeo said. “We’re playing for each other, we’re playing for our seniors, we’re playing to make this year count.

“I think we came together and played as a team. We were down some guys but we came up big. Guys stepped up and played positions they hadn’t played before and got the job done.”

4436 Main St., Downers Grove n RECORDS: Proviso West 2-5 (0-4 WSS), DGN 2-5 (1-3 WSS) n OUTLOOK: This West Suburban Silver clash sees a North offense that has scored 87 points this season face off against a Panther defense that has yielded 206 points this season, most in the conference.

DOWNERS GROVE – Downers Grove South is getting hot at the right time of the season.

Following a 21-0 drubbing at the hands of West Suburban Gold Conference leading Addison Trail a little more than a month ago, the Mustangs rebounded with three consecutive resounding victories against Morton, Leyden and Downers Grove North by a combined 50 points.

Facing a scrappy Willowbrook team Friday, an offensive surge led by senior running back Jacob Baker powered the Mustangs to a 50-38 victory, extending the South winning streak to four games.

Baker finished with 221 rushing yards and three touchdowns as Downers Grove South (5-2, 3-1 WSG) pulled away in a second-half shootout.

“Our goal is to always dictate the pace of play with our running game,” head coach Mark Molinari said. “But it took a while to get our offense going against Willowbrook; they showed us a lot of overloaded fronts in the first half.”

Both offenses struggled to find their footing in a first half that was dominated by defense. At one point, the Downers Grove South offense went three-and-out seven straight times.

“But our defense came up with a bunch of big plays that kept the game close in the first half,” Molinari said.

“Linebacker Mike Connolly and defensive linemen Caleb Konney and Jeff Agnew stonewalled the Willowbrook rushing attack.”

linari put the offense in the hands of quarterback Jordan Skach, entrusting the senior to read the defense on the line of scrimmage and adjust the play accordingly.

“It’s something that we felt we needed to do,” Molinari said. “He’s a senior who’s been on varsity for three years. He’s proven that he can lead this offense and adjust to what the defense shows him.”

Skach got the offense back on track, throwing a second-half touchdown to wide receiver Max Soderlund, checking into different formations at the line and opening up the playbook for Baker.

Already eligible for the playoffs, Downers Grove South will try to clinch a playoff birth Saturday at Proviso East.

“Our goal is to always dictate the pace of play with our running game. But it took a while to get our offense going against Willowbrook; they showed us a lot of overloaded fronts in the first half.”

The Trojans begin the postseason with a matchup against Fenwick, but the climb to a sectional championship then becomes very steep. Should North win its first game, it will face the winner of one-seed Morton and 16-seed Hinsdale South in the regional finals.

Westmont leaned heavily on Brown during Friday’s homecoming tilt against ReedCuster. The senior running back carried the ball 30 times, posting a 9.4 yards-per-carry average and reaching the end zone five times. The speedy tailback also showed off his knack for the big play, scoring touchdowns of 50, 58 and 66 yards.

Brown, the Sears Appliance & Hardware Athlete of the Week, spoke with Suburban Life sports editor Alex Soulier about the Sentinels’ playoff push and his solid senior season.

The boys soccer regular season is nearing an end and teams are getting set for postseason kickoff with the goal of reaching the Class 3A state finals Nov. 7 and 8 at Hoffman Estates High School. Here’s how the playoff road lays out for area teams.

No. 13 Curie Metro (Chicago) Outlook: Heading into the final match of the regular season, the improved Mustangs boast a 12-2-4 record with impressive showings in the Red Devil Cup and the Midwest Classic.

In addition to a well rounded offense flanked by striker Eric Diaz and midfielder Jason Galick, the Downers Grove South defense has shut out eight opponents this season.

The real test begins in the postseason. South will host 13-seeded Curie before a potential tilt with fifth seeded Oak Park-River Forest. If they reach the sectional finals, the Mustangs could then face West Suburban Gold Conference foe Morton – the top ranked team in the state – or crosstown rival Downers Grove North.

CHICAGO FOOTBALL.COM Hub Arkush most improved defenses in the league.

What is the most impressive part of all that? The Bears spent serious money in free agency to bring in Jared Allen and Lamarr Houston and to re-sign Jeremiah Ratliff, and those three have contributed very little to date. In fact, Houston has been practically invisible.

Another big assist was supposed to come from the return of health of All Pros Charles “Peanut” Tillman and Lance Briggs, but Tillman was lost for the season early and Briggs was in street clothes again versus the Falcons as the Bears defense played its best game in years.

To be clear, the Falcons may not be very good, but they entered the Bears game with the third-rated offense in the league. It performed much better in putting up 37 points against New Orleans, the NFL’s fourth rated scoring defense in 2013, and 56 points

Saturday on WCIU The U or at 2:30 p.m. Saturday on The U Too. on Tampa Bay. As if that wasn’t enough of a challenge for Mel and his marauders, all four of his top linebackers were out, his “new” starting nickel, Sherrick McManis, was inactive, and Chris Conte once again went down for the count early in the second half.

The Bears responded by holding Atlanta to 287 yards of total offense, and 111 of that came on the Falcons first possession of the second half (Atlanta lost 25 yards on the drive from penalties).

The Bears also held Atlanta to 4-for-13 on third down (31 percent) and sacked Matt Ryan four times, even though Atlanta entered the game sixth in the NFL in sacks allowed.

IT’S ALL ABOUT DRIVE

There is still more. With Briggs and Tillman on the sidelines, who would wear the green dot versus Atlanta? You know, the guy who would call the defenses and make sure everybody was in the right spot.

It’s almost always a linebacker, but with second-year player Khaseem Greene, undrafted rookie free agent Christian Jones and Darryl Sharpton, who was signed off the street just a little over two weeks ago, what was Tucker to do?

Sharpton was a four-year veteran of the Texans, so he was the obvious choice.

Tucker and linebacker coach Reggie Herring apparently coached the heck out of him, because watching the game you never would have known it wasn’t Briggs at the steering wheel.

Did Tucker blink or whine when Tillman went down again? No, he actually coached up first round draft choice Kyle Fuller to where he’s a lock for all rookie, probably on his way to a Pro Bowl and may just be the Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Tucker’s also brought this defense along while playing significant minutes with rookie tackles Ego Ferguson

and Will Sutton, rotating Conte, Ryan Mundy, Danny McCray and rookie Brock Vereen at safety, and with no idea who his linebackers will be from week-to-week since Shea McClellin went down early with a broken hand.

There is still a great deal of work to do, and the suspicion is that this is still not a playoff-caliber defense.

But we thought Tucker was getting re-armed with all kinds of talent this past offseason, and instead he’s been forced to juggle aging veterans and untested youth at every level, with none of them other than Fuller and, at times, Willie Young and Stephen Paea playing at a truly high level.

It’s still early, and who knows how this defense will look after back-to-back games against Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers?

But right now, it looks light years better than it did in 2013.

Since Mel Tucker was the target of the bulk of the complaints from media and fans alike about that dismal performance, how about we give him a little credit for the excellent job he’s done so far this year?

As the Bears left Atlanta and Week 6 of the NFL season in their rear view mirror, I found myself wondering: Why aren’t the legion of Bears fans who’ve spent the better part of the past 15 months screaming for defensive coordinator Mel Tucker’s head now waiting in long lines for the chance to sing his praises?

As is everything in the National Football League, the highs are always a bit too high and the lows often far too low.

But here are the facts: The Bears defense was one of the worst in the NFL last year, ranking 30th in total defense, 32nd versus the run and 30th in points allowed. One of the main reasons they were so bad was they were 26th in quarterback sack percentage and 25th in third down efficiency.

Following the Falcons game, the Bears defense stood 17th in total defense. They actually are now 10th versus the run and 21st in points allowed, and they are 10th in quarterback-sack percentage and 12th in third-down efficiency.

Not a quantum leap, perhaps, but it’s enough to qualify the Bears as one of the
