WESTMONT – Academy Award-nominated actor Gary Sinise took center stage Thursday at McGrath Acura in Westmont during a kickoff event for American armed forces.

Sinise, the village of Westmont, Operation Support Our Troops, McGrath personnel, and more than 500 attendees helped promote the ninth annual Rockin’ for the Troops fundraiser concert, which will take place July 19 at Wheaton’s Cantigny Park.

During the kickoff event, Sinise, who will headline Rockin’ for the Troops alongside the Lt. Dan Band, spoke about the hardships men and women face after returning from military service. “The war’s winding down in Afghanistan, but we’re going to have residual effects from these wars for many years to come,� Sinise said. “It’s a dangerous world out there and we have to have a strong military, and that means taking care of our military before, during and after the battle.�

The event marks McGrath Acura’s newly formed partnership with Operation Support Our Troops, and residents interested in attending the July 19 concert can purchase tick-

Local women empowering ‘goddesses’ in Westmont

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – Pole fitness and aerial dance helped Michelle Tenuta and Barb Cassidy overcome hardships in their lives. Now, the best friends are owners of Rising Goddess Fitness in Westmont, helping local men and women discover the aesthetic, emotional and physical benefits of aerial dance and exercises.

Tenuta, a Wheaton resident and corporate real estate professional, and Cassidy, a Darien resident who works in higher education, sought new and exciting experiences when navigating through a divorce and relationship issues, respectively.

In 2008, Tenuta came across a pole fitness class after Googling different dance and workout regimens. Similarly, Cassidy heard about the aerial art in 2011 while listening to the radio, then found a Groupon for a pole class.

They were astounded not only by the intense physical workout the class presented –

If you go What: Rising Goddess Fitness Where: 208 E. Chicago Ave., Westmont Details: Pole, aerial hammock, hoop, yoga and burlesque classes for all ages and experience levels.

Info: risinggoddessfitness.com or 630-824-7485.

increasing flexibility and challenging core, upper and lower body muscles – but also the emotional relief the movements provided and sense of well-being it instilled.

“It’s an empowering workout,” Cassidy said. “It’s a workout in which you give up control and take risks in the air. You can grow athletically and learn to love yourself and love your body; I fell in love with it immediately.”

They met in 2011, quickly becoming best friends who shared a passion for their newfound art.

Talks of opening their own studio soon blossomed.

Bill Ackerman – backerman@shawmedia.com

Rising Goddess Fitness owners Barb Cassidy (left) and Michelle Tenuta introduce Friday a beneficiary of Make-A-Wish Illinois before a pole fitness showcase.

“I had no prior dance experience, and was never a gymnast, but this just struck a chord with me,” Tenuta said. “It was unexpected, but I love the emotional and physical challenge the workout presents.”

“After I met Michelle, we became best friends and soon

started talking about what we would do if we had our own studio, what classes we would offer and how great it would be to help others like pole fitness helped us,” Cassidy said.

Still working other jobs, Cassidy and Tenuta opened the 2,200-square-foot Rising Goddess Fitness studio at 208 E. Chicago Ave. in Westmont in December 2013. Employing 13 fellow instructors, Rising Goddess offers a variety of pole, aerial hammock, hoop, yoga and burlesque classes.

A majority of the workouts cater to women, but the studio offers classes for men and teens as well.

While there is an innate sensuality ingrained in many of the motions and movements, the classes are neither raunchy nor explicit, the owners said.

“Years ago, pole movement had a certain stigma, but the community has grown to so much over the last decade,” Tenuta said. “We want our students to express their inner beauty – to feel good about themselves and be happy about their body and who they are.”

Most of all, Tenuta believes health and fitness should be fun and something that is shared with others.

“This is something you share with other students – people clap when you complete a difficult move,” Cassidy said.

“You will discover so much about yourself and others, finding personal and physical strength you did know you had.

It’s really a lot of fun.”

Goddesses give back

On Friday, Rising Goddess Fitness presented “Benevolence,” a performance showcase and charity event featuring a demonstration from world champion pole dancer Charlee Wagner. Local residents were invited to attend the event and proceeds benefited the Make-AWish Foundation.

“Benevolence is intended to support a great cause and bring the beauty of aerial arts to the Westmont community and beyond,” Cassidy said.

“Our hope is that we can inspire other women to feel as healthy, strong and empowered as we have become.”

Ask Dr. Webster

EATING DISORDERS Q: Is it true that white wine can stain your teeth?

A: It’s not actually the white wine that stains your teeth, but researchers at the New York University College of Dentistry found in a study that drinking white wine can make your teeth vulnerable to stains from drinking tea.

Though the study found that white wine is still a better choice than red wine when you’re trying to avoid staining your teeth, it also found that the acid content in white wine increases the likelihood of staining from the chromogens contained in tea and other foods.

The researchers did not specifically test for coffee. They noted, however, that the intensity of chromogens in coffee is not as strong as those in tea. The researchers did their experiments on cow’s teeth, which, they say, have properties similar to those of human teeth.

So drinking white wine along with fruit or cheese will not have an adverse effect on the appearance of your teeth. Researchers did note that white wine drinkers should wait 40 minutes to an hour before brushing their teeth to give the saliva the opportunity to remineralize the surface of their teeth. Talk with your dentist about ways to avoid tooth staining.

8SOUND OFF

On the Ides of March, as I was trudging along the sidewalk in front of the apartments at the corner of Franklin and Forest streets, I slipped on a patch of ice and went down like a snapped piece of asparagus.

Two kind women stopped to help me: one a jogger who was on Franklin, the other driving a white van westward.

It was a cold day, and they stayed with me while I tried to decide whether I could stand on the ankle. Soon I realized there was no way I could stand, and the jogger called 911 for me. The other woman, because I was sitting on ice, gave her coat for me to sit on – and it was a very cold day. I saw her shivering. In addition to these kind and helpful women, the paramedics were gentle and efficient. I was wearing UGG boots – boots with no zipper that have to be tugged on and off. The kind paramedic eased the boot off the ankle – which turned out to be broken – so gently that I never felt it. I thank these people, as well as others who stopped to help, deeply, from my heart.

Play outdoors more To whom it may concern at Downers Grove Suburban Life. I could not agree more with the April 16 Community Voice column in your paper titled, “The importance of outdoor play at camp.” I was in outdoor camps similar to the Park District’s Adventure Camp when I was a kid, and if it weren’t for that, I probably wouldn’t be involved in Boy Scouts, cross country or track at my high school. With our society becoming more attached to technology, it only becomes more important for kids to learn to interact and to be active at an early age. We are really lucky to have the park district that we do. It’s the envy of many surrounding suburbs.

So the Illinois State Constitution says that being a member of a state retirement system is a contract that can’t have its benefits cut or reduced. So how can the current governor, or the guy who might replace him, change things so retired teachers, cops or state workers get less of a pension? A governor can’t single-handedly amend the constitution, can he? Oops, this is Illinois. I wonder.

Support Your Spouse With Hearing Loss

By Dr. Audrey G. Freeman, Au.D. ~ Doctor of Audiology

As you may have experienced, hearing loss can but a strain on relationships. This may cause stress, hurt feelings, and frustration over miscommunication.

The first thing someone with a hearing loss needs to do is make an appointment with their trusted audiologist to find out the amount of loss and what they can do to help their situation. Lend your support by attending their appointments and learn as much as you can about their hearing loss, what it’s like to have their loss (our office has a hearing loss simulator to help you experience that), become knowledgeable about their hearing aids and any accessories (like wireless technology) that might increase their communication ability. Your interest in your spouse’s problems and solutions will show that you are invested in improving communication.

Remember that communication does not just rely on verbal skills. Most people with hearing problems do not solve all their problems with hearing aids. Everyone uses gestures and facial expressions to aid in interpreting meaning and messages. One of the most important things you can do when talking with your spouse who has a hearing loss is to avoid speaking from another room, face your partner when talking, keep your mouth uncovered (no paper in front of your mouth or chewing gum while speaking). It will help to gently get their attention before beginning a conversation by either speaking their name or gently tapping them.

If a mishap in communication occurs, here are a few strategies to get you back on track: • Rephrase rather than repeat what you said. Sometimes it will be easier for your spouse to understand you if you choose different words.

• Move to a different environment with less background noise.

• Be sure to speak clearly and slowly, but naturally.

• Use available listening devices that may be available with their hearing aid technology like mini microphones.

• Don’t get frustrated and say, “Never mind, it’s not important.” That might make them feel like you are dismissing them.

• Be patient. Do your best to laugh it off, then rephrase what you said rather than becoming upset.

Keep in mind that your spouse may have extra difficulty hearing when they are stressed, tired, upset, or ill.

Talk with your local audiologist to begin the first step, if you haven’t already, to identify the hearing problem and possible solutions. You’ll be glad you did. ~Adapted with permission from www.healthyhearing.com

Irritable Bowel, Celiac, Crohn’s or Colitis?

Are you afraid to leave your house due to an unpredictable bowel?

Have you tried diferent treatments but continue to sufer?

Do you know the essentials for a healthy digestive system?

Have you given up and decided to just live with it? he digestive system assimilates food (carbs, fats and proteins) to produce energy. It breaks down food into nutrient forms that your body can absorb. It uses enzymes, good bacteria and hydrochloric acid to break down food to a usable form. Your gut is a barrier, a tube that starts in your mouth, continues as your esophagus, small intestine, large intestine and rectum. 80% of your immune system is in your gut. When you break down the barrier (gut lining), toxins can “leak” into the blood stream leading to an immune response, inlammation and food allergies. Hippocrates, the father of medicine said… “look to the gut, there will you ind the origin of almost all human illness.”

Hi, my name is Dr. Jefrey E. Forzley with Lemont Natural Healthcare. I am a chiropractic physician and a holistic practitioner. I am passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions. I have been in practice for 28 years. As a holistic practitioner I evaluate the nervous system, immune system, endocrine system (hormones), diet essentials (Neuro-฀Metabolic Care), manage the underlying cause and use natural therapies to manage digestive disorders. here are many essentials required for proper digestion.

Let’s talk about a few…

Zinc is necessary to make hydrochloric acid (HCL). HCL is needed to break down food (protein) in the stomach and for production of methyl groups. Methyl groups turn on tumor suppressor genes and turn of oncogenes leading to potential cancer growth. If HCL is deicient, this results in poor digestion and a many imbalances due to a deiciency of methyl groups. HCL deiciency also leads to growth of pathological bacteria like H. Pylori, which can cause gastritis, stomach ulcers and possibly stomach cancer.

Probiotics (good bacteria) are normally found in the gut.

Optimal levels are needed for a proper functioning digestive system. hese probiotics are also part of your immune

system. hey play an important role in the protective barrier in your gut. Your gut makes up 80% of your immune system due to this barrier system. Antibiotics kill pathologic bacteria and infections but they also kill good bacteria and cause gut dysbiosis (imbalance). his dysbiosis can lead to pathologic bacterial, yeast and parasitic infections as well as food allergies.

Digestive system inlammation is associated with IBS, Crohn’s, Celiac and Ulcerative Colitis. It is due to stress, poor diet, toxins and food allergies. Digestive inlammation leads to production of cytokines (inlammatory cells). hese cytokines travel in the blood to the brain and inlame the brain cells. he brain (mesencephalon) in turn controls the digestive system. his leads to a vicious cycle resulting in an inlammatory cascade which exponentially worsens over time. Successfully managing digestive conditions involves balancing the nervous system, digestive system and immune system as well as improving the diet, decreasing gut inlammation and detoxifying the body.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a digestive disorder that includes abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating and alternating constipation and diarrhea. he cause is unknown but theories include toxic overload, intestinal infections, inlammation from stress and poor diet generalized condition of the digestive system poor signaling from the brain to the digestive system for proper function.

Medications to treat digestive disorders can weaken your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer. hese medications may give you symptom relief but have side efects and DO NOT ADDRESS the UNDERLYING CAUSE of your condition.

Testimonial As someone who lives with chronic nausea, poor digestion and anxiety, I assumed I was out of options when countless doctors told me that there was nothing else they could do for me. hey told me it was likely all in my head. hen I visited Dr. Forzley and he told me from the initial consultation that he was very conident he could help me. I was so excited that I cried. No other doctor has ever been so much on my side. Now, 8 weeks into treatment, I am nausea free, anxiety free and my digestion is normal. I have started living a life I never thought I could live. My body is a machine, slowed and dirtied by processed foods and environmental toxins.

But with the help of Dr. Forzley, my body is on the way back to an optimal state for long term health and happiness.

Veronica M.

Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is a digestive condition that involves gluten sensitivity like Celiac Disease but is not an autoimmune disorder. It involves digestive symptoms (pain, bloating…), fatigue, joint pains as well as neurologic symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, poor memory, brain fog and diiculty concentrating.

Celiac Disease, Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are autoimmune diseases. An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your body instead of protecting it. here is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders. But you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY and decrease the efects of the tissue destruction.

If you have an autoimmune disease like Celiac, Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis and you do not balance and calm down the autoimmune destruction, your immune system can attack other tissues and cause multiple autoimmune disorders. It is common for people with an autoimmune disorder to have multiple autoimmune diseases for this reason.

Medications are not always the long term answer.

Westmont among communities name in class action flood lawsuit

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com A national insurance company has filed a lawsuit against DuPage County, 29 of its municipalities and several neighboring counties, alleging they failed to take necessary steps to prevent and limit damage from the flooding of April 2013.

Illinois Farmers Insurance Company and its subsidiaries filed a proposed class-action lawsuit April 17 on behalf of itself, other insurance companies and all those effected by what the suit calls “reasonably manageable” rains April 17 and 18 of last year.

Westmont was among the 29 municipalities named in the suit.

In some areas of DuPage County, the total rainfall was greater than 7 inches during that time, according to the National Weather Service.

Had the various defendants properly prepared for the event and done their “duty to exercise ordinary care to maintain (their) property in a reasonably safe condition,” as stated in Illinois Statute, the suit alleges the damage would not have been so great.

Municipalities named in the suit Naperville, Elmhurst, Wheaton, Lombard, Downers Grove, Glen Ellyn, Aurora, Westmont, Oak Brook, Lisle, Villa Park, Addison, Willowbrook, West Chicago, Winfield, Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills, Itasca, Bartlett, Wood Dale, Warrenville, Glendale Heights, Darien, Bloomingdale, Woodridge, Roselle, Carol Stream, Bensenville and Hanover Park “Based upon prior sewer water invasions, this Defendant knew that members of the Plaintiff Class would be forseeably injured by breaches of these statutory duties,” the suit states.

Farmers said in the suit the flooding, which caused Gov. Pat Quinn to declare 48 counties disaster areas, could have been mitigated by better management of retention and detention basins, proper operation of tributary open and enclosed sewers and drains and the erection of proper barriers.

The lawsuit alleges the counties and municipalities were aware of this based on prior flooding and studies.

However, residents were subjected to “sudden, dangerous and calamitous occurrences” that were so climactic that “elderly men and women and young children were forced to evacuate parts or all of their homes because of safety concerns.”

Similar suits were filed in Cook, DeKalb, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and LaSalle counties on the same day, according to documents provided by Farmers officials.

DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office spokesperson Paul Darrah said the county is aware of the suit but hadn’t yet been served.

Farmers Insurance Media Relations Director Luis Sahagun declined to comment further on the suit but offered a statement via email.

“Farmers has taken what we believe is the necessary action to recover payments made on behalf of our customers, for damages caused by what we believe to be a completely preventable issue, as well as prevent it from happening again,” he said.

Lately, we are hurt by the negative rhetoric displayed by state and local politicians toward our municipal retirement plan. We wanted to take this time to set the record straight.

A lot has been made lately about the sustainability of our pension fund, with politicians using scare tactics like “fiscal cliff” and “looming crisis.” In reality, no such problems exist.

The municipal pension fund belonging to the Downers Grove police officers is one of the healthiest plans in the state, enjoying double digit investment returns last year. We have over $47 million in the fund and hold a 17 year reserve. When the US economy suffered through a recession, the pension fund also saw lower rates of return. However, with the economy back on track, the fund is continuing to exceed its benchmark investment returns.

Those lean years did produce a challenge for our fund. Thankfully, the Village of Downers Grove was responsible and made the proper contributions; something other towns did not do. However, local politicians would have you think that the pension fund caused some extreme stress on the Village budget or the residents of Downers Grove.

This is not so.

The 2013 police pension tax levy was $2.3 million; which seems like a lot until you realize that the Village of Downers Grove had a total budget exceeding $124 million in the same year. That means our fund made up approximately 1.8% of the entire budget, which is quite reasonable and average. To put that amount into some perspective, for each active duty and retired police officer in the Village, the average Downers Grove resident pays about $1 per year toward their retirement. In other words, the average tax payer in the Village contributes approximately $10 per month into the police pension fund. We think this is quite reasonable and sensible.

Some other points we would like to make concerning our fund are in regard to the benefits we receive upon retirement. They are not lavish or extraordinary. Unlike the State of Illinois funds, retired Downers Grove police officers do not receive health insurance benefits. We also do not receive Social Security in retirement. Every active duty Downers Grove police officer contributes 9.9% of his salary to the fund.

Former Westmont priests named in sexual abuse suits coincide with five new lawsuits filed by the firm against four offenders.

Former Holy Trinity Pastor Salvatore Vincent Formusa and Holy Trinity Assistant Pastor Carroll Howlin were mentioned in the report.

Formusa was a pastor for more than three years, beginning in 1958, at Holy Trinity Catholic Church. While working for the church, Formusa admittedly engaged in “inappropriate activity with a young girl,” according to released documents.

Even after Formusa admitted to the abuse, the diocese implored him to remain silent to “avoid scandal.” He went on to serve at several parishes and was arrested in 1968 for

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – A former Holy Trinity Catholic Church pastor and assistant pastor are among the 16 DuPage County priests who are accused of abuse, according to recently released documents.

Thousands of pages of documents released April 30 by a Chicago law firm detail decades of sexual abuse by DuPage County priests and the protection they allegedly received from the Diocese of Joliet.

The files of 16 priests accused of abuse, long held confidential by the diocese, were obtained and released by Jeff Anderson and Associates to

abusing another child, according go the documents.

Howlin also was named in the documents. He worked at Holy Trinity from 1965 to 1967, but allegations stem from his incidents after he left the Westmont church, according to the documents.

Other priests named in the documents worked in Downers Grove, Elmhurst, Lombard, Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, Woodridge, Carol Stream and Itasca even after accusations of prior abuse.

The documents show a pattern of secrecy from Joliet diocese bishops, who regularly failed to remove or report priests accused of child sexual abuse, instead moving them to new parishes where they

would often repeat the behavior.

The suits brought by the firm seek an unspecified settlement for damages suffered by victims in the ’60s, ’70s and early ’80s. They also seek a court order that “(stops) practices that imperil children and requires them to come clean and publicly disclose files of all (priests accused of abuse),” Anderson said Thursday.

The recently released files are a portion of 34 sought by the firm, he said.

“We’re working very hard with the survivors to reveal the past so it’s not repeated,” Anderson said. “The diocese and the bishops have a long history of concealing the past and their role in the crimes

“It’s classic tension between those who want to reveal the painful truth and those who want to hide it.”

Diocese spokesman Ed Flavin said in accordance with common business practice, the diocese does not release confidential files of employees, and the 16 files turned over to the firm were done so under court order.

“We do, however, share any and all information which is relevant to an ongoing investigation with law enforcement or as instructed to do so by the court,” Flavin said. “We make available any and all credible allegations of priests on our website.”

In a statement, the Diocese of Joliet said it had not yet been served with the five lawsuits filed in Will County, and would “respond in an appropriate forum” once it reviewed the specifics of the pleadings.

“Anyone who may have been sexually abused as a minor by a member of the clergy, employee or volunteer of the diocese is urged to report the abuse to civil authorities and to the diocese,” the statement

LETTER Ogden Avenue between BelGarbage continues to pile to pick up aluminum cans up at our local wetlands found on the ground on my way mont and Main Street and the To the Editor: I was always taught to respect all property on God’s earth. It was instilled in me to not walk on other people’s grass, respect their property and belongings and to never litter anywhere outside a garbage can.

I recently began running again, and I made it my practice

back. I do this for two reasons.

One, to help clean up at least a little bit of the garbage on the streets with the intent of recycling those cans, and, two, in order to give the pop tops to Ronald McDonald House Charities.

In two specific runs over the past couple of years, one down

between candy wrappers and an exorbitant amount of mini liquor bottles on the Fairview other down Fairview Avenue between 63rd Street and Ogden Avenue parkways – I was not prepared for what I saw March Avenue, I picked up anywhere 10. from 15 to 20 cans in each of I found three garbage bags those runs, barely able to carry full of beer cans, their boxes, them all home in my hands.

As disgusted as I was with the along with additional empty amount of garbage I was seeing and full beer cans.

We should be appalled by this on the sides of these roads and appreciative of the fact – there was so much more,

there are organizations such as the Boy Scouts of America to teach youth to leave no trace, and St. Mary of Gostyn School, which promotes recycling through their environmental club. I can only hope this practice grows and creates a positive change in my lifetime.

OAK BROOK – Last week, Liz Shishkoff’s sister was in town and gave Shishkoff and her husband, Ray, a book, suggesting he read the chapter about what to do if you have to give birth in an emergency.

“I never got around to the reading,” Ray said April 29 at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital.

“That would’ve been nice.”

Ray did fine without it, when earlier that day the Glen Ellyn couple had to take the birth of their first child into their own hands after Liz went into labor.

On the night of April 28, Liz said she felt what seemed like contractions, so the couple started timing them before going to sleep.

“Apparently, I was the only one that went to sleep,” Ray said.

About 2 a.m. April 29, Liz said the contractions intensified. After calling the doctor, the couple hopped in the car to drive to Adventist Hinsdale Hospital but had to stop the trip short.

“By the end of the next contraction she said, ‘Pull over now,’ ” Ray said.

The Shishkoffs parked off east Interstate 88 near Route 83 in Oak Brook. Ray called the paramedics, but

their first born wasn’t going to wait, so he helped deliver their baby.

At 4:05 a.m., Ray wrapped up Charlotte River Shishkoff, 7 pounds, 20 inches, in his sweater and handed her to Liz. Ray said if the couple had known the baby was that close to delivery they wouldn’t have tried to make it to the hospital, but both he and Liz said they were just grateful everyone was healthy and doing well.

“Once she was born, it didn’t matter how long the paramedics took to get there,” Liz said.

After the paramedics arrived, the couple was taken to Elmhurst Memorial Hospital.

“I called my mom and said, ‘So, it’s a girl. ... I kind of just had to deliver her on the side of I-88,’ ” Ray said, with a laugh.

Liz said during the delivery she wasn’t scared and just tried to stay in the moment and get through the situation.

The couple said they planned on having two kids close together, but might hold off on that for a little while.

“I think when she came out and I wrapped my sweater around her, it kind of hit me all at once,” he said. “It was like a waterfall of emotion or something – it was crazy.”

Hundreds sample local fare at Taste of 630

By ED McMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – It’s a good sign at a food tasting event when almost every diner has a different favorite dish.

That was the case Thursday at the Yorktown Shopping Center during the Downers Grove Area Chamber of Com-

merce’s second annual Taste of 630.

Soundtracked by a DJ and raffle announcements over a PA, upwards of 400 attendees jammed the lower corridor of the mall to sample items from more than 20 restaurants from Downers Grove and the surrounding areas. A $10 entry fee earned diners unlimited sam-

cially popular, as were the barbecue sandwiches and gumbo from Chuck’s Southern Comforts Cafe.

The mahi-mahi tacos and shrimp fried rice from Jimmy’s Island Grill were a hit for Nansun Matayoshi and her daughter Jessica of Lombard.

Doors opened at 5 p.m., and after waiting in line to pay the entry fee, they had hit all the tables by 6:30 p.m. and were full and happy.

Downers Grove Village Commissioner Greg Hose sampled the lobster mac-n-cheese from Devon, and named that, along with Gibson’s offering, as his favorites, so far, after making it through a few of the tables.

“There’s so many restaurants from all over the 630 area code,” he said. “And it’s great with so many restaurants from Downers Grove.”

Some restaurants began to run out of items early due to the big crowd, but some like Carlucci and Jimmy’s Island Grill were able to refill their

trays after a quick trip back to home base.

Carlucci’s orecchini florentino – pasta with crumbled Tuscan sausage, baby spinach and a tomato cream sauce – was Carmie Castagna’s favorite.

“Everything was absolutely wonderful,” the Joliet resident said. “But I’m a little partial to Italian food, and that was delicious.”

For Fouche Garrett-Shabazz of Broadview, the favorite was a salad of sweet and yellow cherry tomatoes, sunflower sprouts, olive oil and romero sauce from Esplanade Restaurant & Lounge in the Double Tree hotel.

Esplanade’s executive chef Nathan Enders said the salad was an example of the new, revamped seasonal menu.

The three-week-old menu includes bison burgers, and a namesake salad featuring seasonal berries, pecans and a raspberry vinaigrette, among other items.

“It’s going to constantly change,” he said.

WESTMONT – The Westmont Public Library Board of Trustees unanimously appointed Julia Coen the new library director during a meeting Tuesday.

The board of trustees began looking to fill the position when the previous director, Christine Kuhn, resigned in October after 12 years of service. Coen worked at the Westmont Public Library as the assistant director and as a reference librarian after receiving her master’s degree in library and information science from Dominican University.

Coen’s history of collaborative work with the staff and residents make her the ideal candidate to lead the library, according to a release from the Westmont Public Library.

“The board is confident that Julia is the best choice for Westmont at this time as we continue with our current strategic plan,” Westmont Public Library Board of Trustees President Amy Porter said in a release.

Remodeling the adult services area to include more community meeting space, implementing self-checkout units for a seamless visitor experience, and opening a digital media lab are high on Coen’s list of priorities, according to the release.

“I am honored to have been selected as the director of the Westmont Public Library and proud to be a part of this talented team,” Coen said. “I am looking forward to working with the board, the staff and the residents to bring the best library service to the community of Westmont.”

Downers Grove Township recaps the winter season

When we talk about this past winter, we tend to remember it in terms of the 80 inches of snow or days spent in sub-zero temperatures.

But what we tend to forget is the man hours, materials and wear and tear on equipment it takes to keep our streets clean and safe for the public.

This is a recap of last winter from the Downers Grove Township Highway Department’s perspective.

The first flurries fell in a soft spiral on October 22.

They were beautiful and in no way an indication of the maelstrom to come.

The first dusting appeared November 26. Salt cleared the streets in a couple of hours.

Winter in Downers Grove Township had begun.

Over the next four months, I would call the crew out 53 more times. Eight of those calls would fall on holidays and another eight would fall on Sundays. The longest period the crew would go without a day off was five weeks.

Our crew consists of 10 drivers and 10 plows, with two additional pickup trucks used as back-ups. The most vehicles broken down at one point was four. During storms, crews would finish their assigned route then head over to help on other routes because of other plows being out of commission.

Overall, our plow drivers logged in 624 straight time hours and 1,490 overtime hours.

The coldest temperature we worked in was 17 degrees below zero. We had ordered a much needed delivery of salt that week, but were told by

the salt company that it was too cold for the trucks to deliver! We would have to wait five days for the cold snap to end before we could receive our salt.

We started our season with 300 tons of salt in our dome. We contracted for another 800 tons with the ability to purchase an additional 160 tons at the same price of $49 a ton. We purchased all 960 tons of salt and were told the new price would be in the neighborhood of $200 per ton, if we were lucky enough to get it. We had been conservative with our salt, so fortunately, we did not have to purchase any salt at this inflated rate. We started mixing sand with our salt in January and used 100 tons. In all, we spent $66,570 on salt and sand. We ended winter with 100 tons of sand/salt mix for next year.

As April showers bring May flowers, the Highway Department will switch over from asphalt patching to “right of way” mowing and culvert replacement.

No matter what the season, my dedicated staff works hard to keep our road system safe while maintaining the most efficient level of government.

Township government delivers the best service at the lowest cost.

According to the National of mental illness begin by age Alliance on Mental Illness 14; 75 percent by age 24.

• 57.7 million Americans experi• Fewer than 33 percent of adults ence a mental health disorder and 50 percent of children with in a given year a diagnosable mental disorder • 1 in 17 lives with a serious menreceive mental health services tal illness such as schizophrein a given year nia, major depression or bipolar • Suicide is the 11th leading disorder cause of death in the United • Anxiety disorders affect about States, and the third-leading 40 million individuals cause of death for people 10 to • 50 percent of all lifetime cases 24 years old.

Mental illness “is a diagnosable illness that affects a person’s thinking, emotional state and behavior and disrupts the person’s ability to work or carry out other daily activities and engage in satisfying personal relationships.”

Mental disorders are common in the United States, with one in five adults having a mental disorder in a year, according to the World Health Organization.

“Much like training instructors in CPR or first aid, the program certifies participants to train the public to identify, understand and respond to symptoms of mental illness,” Community Memorial Foundation President/CEO Greg DiDomenico said.

After completing the first

course in November 2013, there are now 29 trained local individuals who are able to assist anyone with a mental illness, according to DiDomenico. The participants may not work in a clinical setting, but they now have the knowledge to help and raise awareness for mental illness, he said.

“What you will learn in the eight-hour class is how to recognize signs and symptoms,” DiDomenico said. “It’s a ‘train the trainer model,’ and then what they do is team up providing eight hour training to folks and scattered throughout the suburbs.”

HINSDALE – Mental illness affects nearly 60 million Americans in a given year.

A population too large to ignore, organizations such as the Community Memorial Foundation in Hinsdale, the Rotary Club of La Grange, Lyons Township Mental Health Commission and Proviso Township Mental Health Commission are helping reduce stigmas often associated with mental illness by training and helping residents better understand the effects of the disease.

In late 2013, the organizations teamed up with the National Council on Behavioral Health, introducing an education program to the western suburbs that helps others recognize signs of mental illness and substance abuse disorders.

By the numbers

DiDomenico said the training sessions can also be broken up into two four-hour sessions.

The National Council for Behavioral Health introduced the Mental Health First Aid education program in the U.S. in 2008. As of January 2013, nearly 100,000 persons in communities across the country have been trained as mental health first aiders.

With May deemed Mental Health Awareness Month, DiDomenico said he’s looking forward to hosting training sessions in which former participants lead groups of their own.

“Our goal this year is to have 45 of those total and take place throughout the western suburbs,” he said.

Mental Health First Aid training sessions are free for everyone, and residents interested scheduling a session should email gchristoff@ cmfdn.org or call 630-654-4729.

Americans deserve an Obamacare watchdog In a recent victory lap, President Barack Obama announced that more than 8 million Americans have signed up for Obamacare and so in his view, “the repeal debate is and should be over. The Affordable Care Act is working.” But there are significant problems with the president’s assertions.

The American people remain deeply unhappy about a law that has increased out-ofpocket health care costs for millions and taken away their choices. A recent Congressional investigation revealed that only 67 percent of individuals and families that selected a health care plan from the federal marketplace have paid their first month’s premium – laying waste to the 8 million figure the administration has been touting.

The actual enrollment numbers have been closely hidden by the administration for months, and were only

VIEWS Peter Roskam

obtained through inquiries directly to insurance companies, underscoring what has been a constant challenge for anyone trying to monitor the health care law’s progress: because the president’s legacy is so tied to the success of Obamacare, the administration is hiding information, dissembling facts and changing the rules as they go, all in service of their own political needs. To get to the truth about the law and its implementation, I recently introduced legislation to create a Special Inspector General for Monitoring the Affordable Care Act, or SIGMA. An independent, nonpartisan Special Inspector General will offer Americans the complete

All Dogs Should Come With A Vacuum Cleaner Attached!!!!

I don’t know about you but the only thing I can’t stand more than all this snow is all the dog hair.

Really I don’t know how my dog isn’t bald. I vacuum every day. Literally every day.

We have a deshedding treatment that cuts down on the amount of hair that will end up in your home and in your vacuum Just a few qualifiers: We ask that…

I think all shedding animals that live in a home should have a vacuum attached to them like their own personal Hair Zamboni.

You live in or close to Downers Grove Your pet is groomed regularly And your pet is not older than 8

I hate when I get off my couch and the shirt I’ve had on for minutes is covered in yellow hair (I have yellow lab)

We used to offer this to anyone but we were getting people visiting from Florida wanting this service that doesn’t seem fair…right? OR we would see dogs that were groomed once a year who were full of dread locks

My other favorite thing is when my one year old drops his binky (pacifier ) on the rug next to the couch. Next thing I know he looks like Groucho Marx without the glasses. (I have a blk lab too) I’m about to shave my dogs bald!

Yeah… the hair doesn’t stop falling out... it’s just smaller so you don’t see it as much So next time when the one year old falls to ground he’ll come up looking like Mark Harmon with a 5 o’clock shadow…

Enough of me ranting…

If I can ask you a question…?

How would you like a Free Deshedding Treatment on the house?

If you have a dog and you would like to cut down on all the hair in your home, I have a solution for you.

We are looking for dog owners who want a great styling and service for their pet. I am willing to do this for free to show you our skills. As always your satisfaction is guaranteed.

$1.8 trillion, and yet there’s very little oversight of the billions flowing between agencies and out to the states and contractors, leaving the door wide open for criminal fraud and rampant government waste. A SIGMA would keep track of the money and prosecute those who abuse the system. Previous Special Inspectors General have long records of protecting taxpayer dollars and bringing accountability to government programs – giving us a glimpse of what SIGMA could accomplish with Obamacare. For the Troubled Asset Relief Program, a $700 billion taxpayer investment, SIGTARP produced $5.3 billion in restitution and savings, and led to 75 suspensions and debarments of federal contractors and employees and 112 criminal convictions. Similarly, the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction identified more than $1.61 billion in savings through a series of audits and inspections.

A Special Inspector General would finally give the public a true accounting of the health care law, bringing much-needed transparency to a government program that is impacting millions of Americans. Armed with better information, the American people and policy makers can determine the best way to stop the worst parts of the law, and craft health care reforms that actually uphold the promise of quality, affordable health care.

picture of Obamacare, including what decisions are being made, how the law is performing and how it will impact American families. It will also shine light on the administration’s repeated unilateral changes, missed deadlines and poor decision making that is resulting in so much confusion, difficulty and unexpected costs for families and small businesses.

Currently, no single oversight official has the power to get all the information about a law that is unprecedented in both size and scope. At over 900 pages, with thousands more pages of regulations, the massive health care law will impact one-sixth of our economy, and affect every American’s personal health care choices. SIGMA will have the authority to examine the entirety of the law, obtaining information from every one of the nine agencies and hundreds of new programs that play a role in Obamacare’s implementation. Through required quarterly reports and audits, SIGMA will report on every facet of Obamacare, offering a regular flow of information to the public and limiting the administration’s ability to conceal and distort the true impacts of Obamacare.

When it comes to the cost to American taxpayers, Obamacare ranks as one of the most expensive federal programs in history. When fully implemented, experts project the law will cost up to

Restaurant reviews

Paisans pleases with more than pizza BERWYN – Walking past a colorful case of freshly made gelato on my way to the host stand at Paisans in Berwyn, I contemplated skipping lunch completely and ordering the largest bowl of Oreo cheesecake flavor I could dig a spoon into.

Thankfully, our waiter suggested trying any of the gourmet burgers on the menu before diving into dessert, so I didn’t fill my stomach completely with the chocolate temptation.

As my companion and I poured over pages of the menu narrowing down our meal options in an oversized booth, I couldn’t help but look around the industrial-chic restaurant.

Modern and welcoming, it offers a variety of spacious seating areas. Brick and steel frame the high-ceilinged space, where scattered tanks of live fish add organic kinetic art to the high-octane vibe. I felt comfortable in my jeans and T-shirt, but so did the sundress-sporting baby shower guests in an event area across the way.

As if I weren’t impressed enough before even tasting a bite, our waiter offered to put the White Sox game on a few of the flat screens that hover from the ceiling. This was definitely my kind of place.

Fear not northsiders, when another patron asked to see the Cubbies, a few other

By that time, I was digging into our sampler appetizer and hardly noticed.

We couldn’t decide, so we settled on a little of everything. The Paisans Sampler of calamari, Pete’s bone-in mild wings, potato skins, fried mushrooms, onion rings and pizza bread didn’t last long. I stopped myself a couple wings and about half a potato skin short of full to save room for the burger I’d ordered at our

waiter’s suggestion.

When he brought it over on a wooden cutting board accompanied by a fry-filled tin can and pickle, I was thankful to still have an appetite.

I had selected The Ogden Avenue, in which Paisans piles a half-pound patty with barbecue pulled pork, cheddar cheese, pickles and crispy onion strings on a pretzel bun. And yes, it was just as delicious as it sounds.

My carnivorous companion

insisted he try the hand-tossed pizza, and ordered his own 12-inch pie topped with pepperoni, bacon and sausage. Although I might have switched one of the meats for a veggie, I happily helped myself to a piece. The pan style crust and sauce held their own even with all the toppings, and convinced me that three meats may not be too many for a Paisans pizza, the family business’ longtime specialty.

I don’t regret my Ogden

Avenue choice one bit, but when I go back, there’s a plate of homemade linguine arrabiata begging me to try its garlic, crushed red pepper, basil, plum tomatoes and white wine sauce.

Since I’d already thrown my ideas about Paisans being strictly an Italian place out the window when I bit into that pretzel bun, I’m tempted to order the kicked-up nachos as an appetizer.

Featuring a full bar, the restaurant also tempts with salads, ribs, steak, sandwiches, classic Italian entrees and inhouse treats by the pastry chef.

Finally, it really was time for dessert. Even though the cooler of gelato had me salivating the moment we walked in, I couldn’t deny myself the funnel cake, which was wonderfully decadent. I’ll use the gelato as a sweet excuse to return soon.

Paisans offers free valet parking Thursday through Sunday evenings, an especially convenient perk. It also has locations in Brookfield and Cicero.

Players from the Downers Grove Machine and Tinley Park Bulldogs, which are both U9 teams with New Wave Lacrosse, play at Downers Grove South on Saturday. The squads played at halftime of the high school varsity game between the Downers Grove co-op and York.

‘Big success’ for Downers Grove lacrosse

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Saturday was a big day for the Downers Grove lacrosse community.

The high school co-op boys lacrosse team, which is based out of Downers Grove South, is in its first year as an official school sport, and the team hosted a youth day to celebrate the younger players in the community. Youth players from the New Wave program took the field at halftime of the game between Downers Grove and York.

“The day was a big success,” said Mike McAleer, one of four coaches in the co-op program, who is in his seventh season as a coach in Downers Grove.

“We had a good turnout with the youth players and we had raffles and gave out prizes.”

The current co-op team grew out of the old North-

South Lacrosse Club, which had players from Downers Grove North, Downers Grove South and Hinsdale South and played its games at a field in Burr Ridge, according to McAleer. The team now is a co-op with DGN and DGS and the team plays its home games at South.

McAleer said he hopes lacrosse continues to grow in the community in the coming years to the point where the co-op can add a freshman team to the sophomore, JV and varsity. Eventually, he hopes North and South can split off to form their own teams. Considering where the squad was when it first started out, the current state of affairs is a big improvement.

“We’re grateful to be part of the school and play in the stadium,” McAleer said. “The school has been very good to us, and we just want to grow and get better.”

“We’re grateful to be part of the school and play in the stadium.”

Suburban Life ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Downers Grove South Sophomore | Baseball Why Oriente was selected: He hit a home run and drove in two runs to help the Mustangs defeat Hinsdale South 10-3 on Saturday.

Downers Grove South’s baseball team recently faced Hinsdale South in a key threegame West Suburban Gold series. Danny Oriente helped the Mustangs sweep the series and remain undefeated in conference as he went 5-for10 in the three games with four extra-base hits and four RBIs. Oriente provided an exclamation point in Saturday’s 10-3 win with a solo home run in the third inning.

Oriente, the Sears Appliance and Hardware Athlete of the Week, spoke with Suburban Life sports editor Jason Rossi about his home run Saturday, playing catcher and the key to South’s success this season.

Have you hit any other home runs this year? What did you see on the homer you hit against Hinsdale South?

I think I had one against Leyden. I was just trying to hit the ball hard and make solid contact.

Do you like playing catcher?

I’ve always been a catcher.

When I was really young I played shortstop but I’ve been a catcher ever since seventh grade, probably. I like being a catcher. I like being in the middle of the action and being the captain of the infield.

What’s been the key to the team’s success this season?

We’re solid defensively.

We’re making the plays we’re supposed to make. Offensively, we’re solid from the top down.

If the top of the order is not getting it done, then the bottom of the order is and the other way around. We pick each other up and help each other out.

This Athlete of the Week is brought to you by

ons won with a two-out, bases-loaded double.

Geraghty laced three singles, scored a run and drove in a run, Jake Stevenson had a pair of singles and an RBI, and Joe Provenzano hit two singles and scored a run. Matt Bohanon pitched all seven innings, striking out two and walking two.

North squandered a 5-1 seventh inning lead on Friday as LT tied the game to force extra innings. The Lions won on John Heilenbach’s sacrifice fly.

Provenzano scored two runs and Geraghty plated two runs. Pyburn gave up just two earned runs in 72⁄3 innings and was saddled with the loss.

CHICAGO – Penn State has a history of success in men’s volleyball, and Zack Parik was part of the most recent solid run by the Nittany Lions.

The Woodridge native, Downers Grove North graduate and PSU sophomore was part of the team that went 13-1 and won the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association and advanced to the NCAA semifinals this season.

DOWNERS GROVE – They don’t come much closer than that.

Facing Lyons Township in a three-game West Suburban Silver series, Downers Grove North’s baseball team came out on the short end in a pair of one-run games to start the series before losing 5-3 at home on Monday.

The Trojans, 13-8 heading into Tuesday’s game against Downers Grove South, jumped out to a 1-0 lead Monday as Ray Greco doubled and scored on an error. LT scored three times in the third and led the rest of the way.

Pat Geraghty and Bren-

dan Shanahan scored in the sixth inning to make it a 5-3 game. North put runners on first and second with no outs in the bottom of the seventh, but couldn’t push any runs across.

Geraghty had two of North’s eight hits and Brett Pyburn had an RBI double. Ryan Andrews worked seven strong innings on the mound, yielding three earned runs while striking out four and walking none. The loss dropped North to 8-7 in the WSS. Playing on the road Saturday, four unearned runs cost the Trojans in a 4-3 loss. The game was tied going into the seventh inning, and the Li-
