Westmont resident and special education coordinator Marthony Bert recently found her calling on the roller derby rink with the Aurora 88s. a yellow one. It was not long before she was wearing a red practice jersey – the team’s final step prior to becoming bout eligible.

Bert made the Aurora 88s B-team and skated as a blocker in her first bout on July 26.

Although the final score wasn’t what she had in mind, the experience was like nothing she ever imagined.

“We got absolutely killed, it was a complete nightmare in that regard,” Bert said. “Still, it was the most fun I’ve ever had.

“The funny thing about roller derby is, yes, it is super competitive and is often thought of as violent game, but it is the most cordial sport that I have ever witnessed. You shake hands afterwards and sometimes pose for photos with the other team.”

She now calls the Aurora Skate Center her home away from home, attending 88s practice twice a week and open skate at least once a week. In her free time, she often watches derby

Bert also uses her Facebook account to post about her roller derby progress and any upcoming events.

While Bert concedes that roller derby has become a mild obsession, she said she would never let her passion intrude on her job or family.

“I love my job, I love my family and now I love roller derby,” she said.

WESTMONT – Marthony Bert says she found roller derby while seeking an adventure – a new experience, an outlet, something completely different from her job as a special education coordinator and a mother of two.

“I just needed some time to myself – a night out,” she said.

“I saw the whole roller derby thing as something fun that would be good exercise. But it is addicting, and it consumes you in the best way possible.”

In April 2013, the 45-year-old Westmont resident took the advice of a neighbor and enrolled in a roller derby exercise class in Oak Park. The weekly class taught the fundamentals of roller derby without any contact.

“It was a lot of fun and an amazing workout,” Bert said.

“You meet a mixed bag of women of every race, age and size.

But I soon maxed out on learning skills and fundamentals and I knew that I wanted more.”

She researched competitive and semi professional roller derby leagues, attending bouts with the Windy City Rollers, Chicago Outfit and the DuPage Derby Dames.

After Bert saw an Aurora 88s bout, she said “something stuck” and she decided to attend a team info night.

“What I found was a good group of people that I could relate to,” Bert said. “They are a fun bunch of women of all different education and employment backgrounds, ranging from 21 to 50 year olds. It seemed like a good fit, so I decided to give it a shot and try out.”

In October 2013, Bert tried out and was placed on the beginning green team. A month later, she tested out, swapping her green Aurora 88s jersey for

4 Holy Trinity planing largest Oktoberfest yet Sandack calls for staff

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – The third annual Holy Trinity Oktoberfest will be held Sept. 19 and 20 in the south lot at 111 S. Cass Avenue.

Presented by the Holy Trinity Parent and School Organization and the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, this year’s celebration is expected to be largest in it’s three-year history, as event organizers have spread festivities across a two-day schedule, according to Holy Trinity Parent and School Organization President Keith Sellers.

“This year, we have expanded our Oktoberfest celebration from one day to two days,” Sellers said. “We are also using our bigger lot to provide attendees and vendors with ample room and we will have two stages for music and entertainment.”

Oktoberfest will be open to the public from 4:30 to 10:30 p.m. Sept. 19 and 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Sept. 20. Admission for both days is free of charge.

Traditional Oktoberfest food such as bratwursts and pretzels also will be available for purchase.

Younger patrons will be able to enjoy root beer floats, as well as an array of food and drinks. Live children’s music will be scheduled during the two days, and face painting, kids activities, two bounce houses will be available throughout the event.

Oktoberfest organizers

also are planning a kids movie night for one of the evenings and Chicago White Sox mascot South Paw will be present to greet fans and pose for photos, according to Sellers.

Seniors will be able to enjoy a complimentary lunch Sept. 20 and bingo will be held throughout the event.

When planning Oktoberfest, Sellers explained it was important to provide something for everybody in order to maintain a family friendly atmosphere.

“This is supposed to be a community event, not just something for the parish and the school,” he said. We want to welcome everyone of every age from Westmont and surrounding communities – this is a great event to come out and enjoy time with the whole family. It’s much more than a beer fest.”

Oktoberfest is the largest community fundraiser of the year for Holy Trinity.

pension practices review

By SCOTT REEDER Illinois News Network

It’s time for legislative staff members to start making contributions toward their own pensions rather than having taxpayers pay it for them, state Rep. Ron Sandack said Aug. 12.

“We have some absolutely terrific staffers who work long hours and don’t get paid very much, but the state just can’t afford to continue anyone’s pension payments anymore,” the Downers Grove Republican said. “I don’t know the whole history for why the state pays these contributions. There was probably a good reason at the time. But all employees need to have some skin in the game.”

Senate GOP spokeswoman Patty Schuh said originally state government offered to pick up the cost of most state employee pension contributions in lieu of pay raises when Jim Edgar was governor.

However, when Rod Blagojevich was governor he ended the practice and gave union workers in his administration broad pay raises instead, she said.

But legislative employees continued to have their pension contributions covered.

During the past five years, the state has paid $145,000 toward the “employee portion” of the legislative staffer pen-

sion contributions according to data obtained by the Illinois News Network from the Illinois Comptroller’s Office.

“At the time, we figured it was a cheaper alternative than offering pay raises because they compound upon themselves,” Schuh said.

Steve Brown, the longtime spokesman for House Speaker Michael Madigan, said he doesn’t know the underlying reason legislative staffers are provided this perk.

“My best guess is that it dates back to the days when employees in the [governor’s] administration had the same benefit,” he said. That happened under Edgar and former Gov. James R. Thompson.

And then Blagojevich in his infinite wisdom eliminated it.

Talk about ways to alienate yourself from your workers.

But He also saved some money. But that’s why they all want to join unions now.”

Longtime Illinois political observer and former state lawmaker Jim Nowlan said he believes staffers may benefit from their closeness to lawmakers.

“I think the staffer’s proximity to state lawmakers may very well play a role in those on staff getting this extra perk,” he said. “Of course, someone could

RETIREMENT AND TAXES

When you retire - either by choice or not - there are a lot of tax decisions to make.

Some important questions to consider are: How much money do I need to retire?

When can I take Social Security – and what are the tax consequences?

Should I rollover my 401K and how do I know what is the correct amount to rollover?

When must I start withdrawing from my IRA and how does it work?

How do I plan for taxes when I retire withholding vs. estimated taxes?

What about medical insurance and expenses when I retire?

You should not wait until the last minute - especially since the paperwork from your company is overwhelming and often confusing.

On the other hand, he said people are turning their taxes in to the IRS under penalty of perjury – on the hook for back taxes, interest and penalties.

“That’s messed up,” he said.

Accordingly, Roskam explained there is a lot of work to do.

They discussed the passage of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, which has been signed into law and was voted for by both Roskam and Kirk.

The law creates various job training programs that provide for further adult education, they said.

Roskam added the law was designed to align necessary workplace skills with marketplace demands.

He said he hoped all employers will be able come into an area and rapidly hire people.

Both legislators also discussed the likelihood of the Republican Party seizing control of the Senate in the November election. “[There’s] an 82 percent chance of the Republicans taking control of the Senate,” Kirk said.

Roskam agreed.

“I think it’s more likely true than not true,” Roskam said. “I think that that’s a strong possibility.”

If that happened, Roskam said the next step would be interesting.

He explained the next GOP majority leader would likely sit down with the White House Chief of Staff and discuss a list of things that need to be done by the White House before the Senate will move forward with helping out with the president’s agenda.

“And the irony is, the list is long,” Roskam said. “It’s a log of things that the administration has done on the president’s own and the president’s pen, and if the president can turn those things on from a

New state-of-the-art dance center opens Sept. 2

asoulier@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – Liz Haefele believes her new dance center will provide residents with a winning combination of stateof-the-art facilities and elite instruction.

The longtime Downers Grove resident is the sole proprietor of Pure Vibe Dance Center, an 8,000-square-foot dance space that features three large studios, men’s and women’s locker rooms, an open reception area, a study room and a waiting room.

Currently under renovation, Pure Vibe Dance Center, 102 Chestnut Ave., will open to the public Sept. 2.

Although Westmont is already home to several dance academies and studios, Haefele, a publisher by trade, believes her location, facilities and instruction will set her space apart from the competition.

“It is a great central location for various towns – right off of Ogden Avenue and next to Ty Warner Park,” she said. “Our center is state of the art, designed to enhance movement while keeping our

Pure Vibe Dance Center’s size is structured to provide a well-rounded program of dance techniques, genres, choreography and performance, according to Haefele. Each studio features full length mirrors and is designed to prevent injury with a professionally sprung floor, consisting of floating wood surface covered with Time-

Step, a vinyl composite, she said.

Pure Vibe will offer classes for beginners to highly skilled technical dancers wanting to continue their dance training at a more professional level.

“I’m investing in something that is very high end to provide state-of-the-art experience,” Haefele said, explaining her son and daugh-

ter have been involved in dance and gymnastics, and she wanted to give back to the community that has given them so much.

“Additionally, this is an investment in our artistic director, Julie Haller,” Haefele said.

“She is a phenomenal teacher who has an uncanny ability to creates a warm and inviting environment that encourages people to dance.”

Haller, 29, of Cortland is a Point Park University graduate with a bachelor of arts degree in dance performance and a double concentration in ballet and jazz. She is currently adjunct dance faculty member

at Palatine’s Harper College, where she teaches modern and hip-hop classes.

Haller previously taught dance in Chicago Public Schools and had performed in several national competitions and musicals. Most recently, she was the dance director for The Academy of Music and Art in Westmont.

“It’s an exciting proposition to grow as an instructor and a director alongside this wonderful community,” Haller said. “This will be a great opportunity to grow and mold something that is more my own.”

Leading up to the Sept. 2 opening, Haller has been interviewing and hiring instructors. Ultimately, she expects to have between five and six fulltime instructors at Pure Vibe Dance Center.

“I’m looking for instructors who are as excited as I am about fostering a well-rounded environment,” Haller said.

“We are really trying to bring the competitive dance found in Chicago to Westmont. But we also want people to branch out and try a variety of classes. We encourage dancers to have fun but also feel challenged.”

Master plan meeting moved to accommodate crowd

By ZACHARY WHITE zwhite@shawmedia.com CLARENDON HILLS – The Aug. 21 public hearing of the Zoning Board of Appeals/ Plan Commission will be at 7:30 p.m. in the gymnasium of Prospect School, 100 North Prospect Ave. The meeting has been moved from the Clarendon Hills village hall boardroom

because a large crowd is expected to show up, several residents appeared for the last hearing on July 17.

“We just want to be prepared,” Community Development Director Dan Ungerleider said.

The heightened community involvement is attributed to the debate over the updated Clarendon Hills downtown master plan.

In the forefront of discussion is what the maximum height of buildings should be.

Recently, there was a petition drive to get an advisory referendum on the Nov. 4 ballot that would ask if building height should be limited in the downtown area to two stories, or 30 feet, whichever is smaller.

The referendum is not binding.

Ungerleider said the zoning board can choose to go with

THE ROOT CANAL Q: What exactly is a root canal?

A: A root canal is a procedure your dentist, or an endodontist, performs to treat problems in the soft core inside the tooth, the material known as the dental pulp. It is the pulp that holds the blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue that keep the tooth alive. A deep cavity or a crack in the tooth can let bacteria get into the pulp. That causes an infection that eventually will create a pocket of pus at the tip of the tooth’s root in the jawbone. That pocket of pus is called an abscess. An abscess causes swelling, can become quite painful and can also damage the bone around the tooth.

The first step in a root canal procedure is making an opening in the crown of the tooth through which the dentist can remove the infected pulp. The interior of the tooth, including the canals in its roots, is cleaned out and sealed with a temporary filling. When the infection is fully gone, the dentist will put a new permanent crown on the tooth.

If you need a root canal, your dentist may, as mentioned above, refer you to an endodontist, a dentist who specializes in treating pulp problems. Talk with your dentist for more information about a root canal and about other areas of dental specialty that may apply to your situation.

Something always is going on in Westmont As we move toward fall, our village is very busy with numerous programs and initiatives. We invite residents and businesses to get involved and be part of the process.

Keys to the village: On Thursday at the village board meeting, I will give two keys to the village to two couples who have been longtime Westmont residents and have served our COMMUNITY community for decades. In VOICE addition, Marcel and Theresa Ron Levesque and Bill and Jo Wavak are celebrating their 67th Gunter and 65th wedding anniversaries, respectively, within the month. I could not be more pleased to recognize and honor these four citizens who love their community so much and have given back with a lifetime of commitment and service.

Patriots Day event Sept. 11: In remembrance of those who died Sept. 11, 2001, the village will host our annual Patriots Day event at the Westmont Police/Fire Facility, 500 N. Cass Ave. This year’s event will be at 7 p.m. Sept. 11. We invite the entire community to attend this moving event.

Stormwater infrastructure update: Our village has engaged in an in-depth conversation regarding how we address infrastructure improvements needed to better manage our community stormwater needs. Our resident and business stakeholders group has made a recommendation that the village create a stormwater utility, which would result in a dedicated revenue stream that could only be used for stormwater improvements.

The village board recently gave direction to consider putting forth a stormwater utility referendum question on the spring 2015 ballot. During the next several months, we plan to host several community information forums so our citizens are well informed regarding this important topic.

Electric aggregate update: The village has decided to not renew our electric aggregation contract. After several meetings, it became clear that the cost savings benefit that existed a few years ago is no longer there. This month, people who were part of the aggregation initiative will automatically be switched to ComEd unless they choose a different power supply company. No action is necessary for residents to switch back to ComEd, and no service interruption is expected during the transition.

Together we can accomplish great things: I invite all of our citizens to step forward and be part of the team. The investment you make will be the value you receive. Please contact me at rgunter@westmont.il.gov or 630-981-6201.

Thumbs up to the new Westmont Post Office Post Master Shenita Robinson-Hodge, who was officially inducted into her new position Aug. 6. Robinson-Hodge has worked for the post office for more than 15 years, doing everything from being a city letter carrier to a manager to participating on all kinds of teams within the post office. She will now oversee the Westmont location at 5707 S. Cass Ave. and vows to improve customer service and reduce the number of complaints. Thank you for your years of service and congratulations on the new position.

Thumbs up to the Westmont Park District for expanding its summer employment program. After receiving a grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the park district was able to hire an extra nine employees ages 19 or younger to help with summer youth camps and maintenance work. Not only has the Westmont Park District furthered its reputation as one of the leading youth employers in the community, but they continue to demonstrate a prowess for grant writing.

In mid-September, the Downers Grove Township multiplier will be published, along with parcels having an assessment change for 2014.

Parcels that have had improvements built, demolished or a reassessment will be on the publication list. If you do not see your parcel number on the list, it means the assessor did not change the assessed value of your property from 2013 to 2014.

If a new structure is built or being built, the assessment is based on what was on the property as of Jan. 1. For example, a house may only be 50 percent finished Jan. 1 and completed at the end of April 2014. The assessment will reflect 50 percent of the building assessment (as of Jan. 1), plus a prorate from May through December for being 100 percent complete for those eight months.

Demolition is much the same. If the building was still on the property as of Jan. 1, it will be assessed. However, if demolition takes place on May 10, the building assessment will be prorated to reflect no assessment from May 10 until the end of the year, given there is no new construction.

The parcels having building improvements or additions may be eligible for

COMMUNITY VIEWS Theresa Cockrell the Home Improvement Exemption. If the improvement qualifies, this exemption is automatically applied by the Assessor’s Office and will be reflected on your 2014 tax bill, which you will receive in May 2015.

The publication will include, in the preamble, the DuPage County Supervisor of Assessment’s multiplier for Downers Grove Township.

This multiplier is applied to every parcel in the Township.

So, if your parcel is not on the publication list your assessment has still been changed by the application of the multiplier.

Once the publication is printed, property owners have 30 days to file a formal complaint with the DuPage County Board of Review. If possible, however, discuss your assessment with someone at the Assessor’s Office, as problems can be resolved there as well.

Theresa Cockrell is the assessor for the Downers Grove Township.

NATURE’S BEST

NOW OPEN

adno=S0247307

DOWNERS GROVE – A new nature-based early childhood program at Lyman Woods Nature Center will begin in September.

The new NaturePlay School will combine traditional early childhood learning experiences with outdoor nature-based learning and play, according to a press release.

Children ages four to six will participate lessons in arts, crafts, story time, science experiments and dramatic play, all based around a daily nature theme. Throughout each session there will be opportunity for discovery through nature hikes and unstructured, but supervised, playtime. Children also will have a healthy snack each day.

“There are numerous studies that show that children who regularly play and learn outside are more physically

active, more creative in their play and show better concentration,” Shannon Forsythe, manager of natural resources and interpretive services at Downers Grove Park District, said.

“This new program gives local parents the chance to introduce nature to their children in a safe, supervised environment at our interactive nature center at Lyman Woods.”

NaturePlay School will take place Mondays and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:15 to 2:15 p.m.

The first session begins the week of Sept. 8. The program costs $165 per child. Registration is available at dgparks. org or at the Lyman Woods Nature center, 901 31st St., Downers Grove.

For information, call the Downers Grove Park District at 630-963-9388 or visit www. lymanwoods.org.

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com WHEATON – The DuPage County Health Department hopes a new construction project will make the care it provides more inclusive and all-encompassing.

The department and several partner agencies broke ground Thursday on its new $11 million, 33,000-square-foot community center.

“We are on the cusp of not just breaking ground but blazing a trail,” said department board President Linda Kurzawa. “[The center] will be a collaborative effort, broadening the services that we do out into the community.”

The project, located at 111 N. County Farm Road, is seven years in the making and will be funded almost completely by department savings, said Director Karen Ayala. Partner organization National Alliance on Mental Illness of DuPage County provided $1 million as a sort of “buy-in” to the shared space, said alliance Executive Direc-

“We are on the cusp of not just breaking ground but blazing a trail. [The center] will be a collaborative effort, broadening the services that we do out into the community.”

Linda Kurzawa DuPage County Board of Health president

tor Angela Adkins.

The goal of the center is to provide holistic support for those using its services – the demand for which has risen in recent years, Ayala said.

“The building is being built with cash – cash that we have prudently saved, struggled [for], always with the thought in mind that there are citizens to be served and it is the taxpayers of DuPage County that provide that,” Kurzawa said.

Set to open next fall, the space will include a gym, courtyard, kitchen, multipurpose space and offices for both the department and the alliance.

DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin said the idea of consolidating and

streamlining services between public and private entities was not new to the county and that the partnerships forged would “share our goal of wellness for all.”

Adkins said the new facility would help participating agencies improve care, particularly in the world of mental health where “medicine and therapy ... doesn’t do it on its own.”

She said five years ago, her agency was seeking to expand services to better fit the needs of its population, especially in the realms of housing, employment and social programs.

When she conversationally mentioned that desire to the health department, it became

a natural partnership.

“Social recreation is really going to be where the health department services sort of start to taper off and ours will pick up,” Adkins said. “It’s a complete flow – we anticipate this building will be operational 24/7.”

She said by partnering with groups such as the Western DuPage Special Recreation Association, Wheaton Park District and Bridge Communities, the center could synergize several resources to help to those with different levels of need.

Ultimately, Adkins said, she hopes its presence in the community will bring volunteers to assist with programming and normalize mental illness.

“We’ll go to the community for artists and different community members who have something to offer,” she said. “We’re going to reach out to the community at large ... which ultimately will really heighten the awareness and lessen the stigma. And that’s really what we want to do.”

Caribou Coffee to close, reopen as Peet’s Coffee west suburban locations.

Locations in Willowbrook, La Grange, Oakbrook Terrace, Lombard and Countryside already closed. An employee at the Wheaton Caribou said it is converting into a Peet’s, closing Aug. 24 and reopening sometime in October. The Glen Ellyn location will close permanently Sunday, and not transition into a Peet’s, an employee said.

Most Caribou cafes that were not planned for the conversion into Peet’s coffee were closed shortly after the April announcement.

Caribou’s transition is the latest change in Downers Grove’s chain coffee options.

Starbucks, which has a downtown location across the Metra tracks from Caribou, opened its third Downers Grove cafe this summer on Ogden Avenue, and a fourth location was recently approved by the village for Butterfield Road.

Calls placed to Peet’s Coffee’s corporate media line were not returned.

DOWNERS GROVE – Downers Grove’s downtown Caribou Coffee will close Aug. 31 and reopen Oct. 27 as a Peet’s Coffee & Tea on, according to employees.

Barista Rosemary Linn said she and the other staff members are expected to keep their jobs when the store, 5100 Main St., reopens following the remodeling and rebranding work.

The downtown cafe is one of a limited number of Caribou’s that were not closed and will instead become Peet’s Coffee shops.

In 2012, Minnesota-based Caribou was bought by a German holding company for about $340 million. In April the following year, it announced it would close the majority of its 66 Illinois locations, and convert more than a dozen to Peet’s Coffee & Tea shops. Overall, 80 were planned for closure and 88 for conversion, nationwide.

There were Caribou locations in more than a half dozen

nlurz@shawmedia.com NAPERVILLE – After more than a year of planning, development and support building, the first tenants of the Rev3 Innovation Hub are nearing a move-in date.

Rev3 is the brainchild of Choose DuPage, an organization devoted to driving economic development in the county. Its creators aim to foster growth in up-and-coming industries.

Choose DuPage Business Services Director Nicholas Zito said manufacturing and technology are industries in which companies generate jobs beyond their organizations.

For information on Rev3, visit www.rev3dupage.com, email info@rev3dupage.com or call 630-955-2087. Those interested in applying to become a member can find the application form online. Rev3 will hold a series of networking meetings called Coffee and Collaboration every Thursday through September.

“For every dollar you invest in manufacturing, you get many more back in other areas,” he said. “They are both leading and emerging sectors.”

Three weeks ago, Rev3

signed a lease to rent offices, conference rooms and open space at Northern Illinois University’s Naperville campus, 1120 E. Diehl Road. Zito said it will offer an array of options, including shared common areas and computer labs, conference rooms, private offices, a shipping facility and a manufacturing lab with a 3-D printer.

These amenities are intended to help businesses too small to warrant a large space and the enormous start-up costs of manufacturing a prototype that still need a base of operations.

“We have everyone from a true ideation stage, meaning they have a great idea on the back of a napkin that they

think will be great that they need to see 3-D printed, all the way up to the mid-level, established businesses,” he said.

The first seven member entrepreneurs – a mix of software developers, e-commerce developers, intellectual property attorneys and manufacturers – will move into the space in early September. They and the others that come after will shape Rev3’s offerings, Zito said. The hub’s organizers are already looking at creating a digital media studio with editing software and a green screen based on requests from the starting team.

All these efforts are expended to foster an environment of collaboration and innovation

that will benefit DuPage County manufacturing. Rev3 will host a series of rotating mentors who will have office hours in the building to serve as a resource for the up-and-coming businesses on how to develop and market their products and services.

“We want to help establish supply here, hire people in the county and form partnerships with big companies,” Zito said.

“These businesses will be fostered here and hopefully grow and stay here.”

Participating companies will pay month-to-month to use the facility, with options for discounted fees for longer leases, he said. Access ranges from using the co-working space – including conference rooms and other shared areas – at $150 per month up to a full office rental for $900 to $1,000 per month. Those who need the manufacturing lab can pay $250 to $300 per month, pending its implementation in January. Rev3’s spaces would be open 24-hours-per-day to cater to those working on start-ups alongside other responsibilities.

Zito said the hub’s creators hope to have as many as 350 members using its variety of services throughout the day.

“Our overall goal is not to just keep them and have them in our space forever,” said intern Nicholas Kavanau. “Our goal is to provide the companies what they need to move on. As much as we like to have them, we want to make companies that will go out into DuPage County. We want to give them what they need with a lower overhead cost to form their company and graduate them on.”

Zito said his history as a business owner has prepared him for the work he plans to do with Rev3.

“I am very excited to be an entrepreneur for entrepreneurs,” he said. “I know from personal experience about all the help and guidance that I needed but didn’t have access to when I started my company.

Sometimes we’re so focused on getting our product to market and all the other auxiliary things fall to the wayside. So a collaborative environment is 100 percent what it comes down to.”

TAKE OUR “SAFETY QUIZ” FOR DRIVING AROUND SCHOOLS August 25 is the first day of classes for most of the schools in Downers Grove. Keeping kids safe when they walk to school, ride the bus, or are driven by a parent is a priority for the Downers Grove Police Department.

Can you answer the following questions about driving around schools and school buses?

When do motorists have to stop for a school bus?

• On any two-lane roadway and within school parking lots, all traffic must stop when the school bus has its “STOP” arm extended.

• On a four-lane roadway, only vehicles traveling the same direction as the bus are required to stop.

The penalty for the first offense of passing a stopped school bus is a $150.00 fine and a 90-day suspension of driving privileges.

When is the school speed zone in effect?

• The speed limit in areas posted as “School Zones” is 20 mph on school days from 7:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. when children are present in the area. The minimum fine for this traffic offense is $150.00.

Do drivers have to obey the directions of school crossing guards?

• Motorists are required by law to obey the instructions of adult school crossing guards, so use caution and be prepared to stop.

Be alert for student patrols that may be assisting children crossing the street.

Always BUCKLE-UP everyone on every trip, every time.

Please use caution when driving around all schools or whenever you see children in the area. Do your part to make the 2014-2015 school year safe for our children.

DOWNERS GROVE – About 1,500 students at Downers Grove North and South High schools will be greeted with new Google Chromebook laptops when District 99 returns to class Monday.

Students will get to keep the devices throughout the school day and take them home as part of the expanded 1:1 pilot program.

“By being able to take the devices home with them, they have anywhere, anytime learning,” South High School Instructional Technology Coordinator Jon Orech said.

“Some kids may have their own devices, but this guarantees that they all have them.”

The expanded pilot follows a smaller sample when about 200 students were outfitted with Chromebooks during the 2013-14 school year.

Incoming sophomore Clay Isacson, 15, was one of those pilot students last year. He attested the device completely replaced his textbook for a social studies class where assignments also were largely run through Google Docs, allowing real-time collaboration between students and their teachers on a single editable document.

He said it took an initial growing-pain period before the instructor effectively used the filtering software to block certain games and other online distractions. After that, “it was a productive learning device,” he said.

Students and teachers who participated last year were

interviewed at semester’s conclusion, Orech said, to help modify the program for the expanded pilot this year.

“Kids were very much more engaged,” he said. “We were able to do some activities and that previously were inconceivable without kids having their own devices.”

This year’s pilot is expected to cost about $500,000. It follows on the heals of several similar programs in the area, including Grade School District 58’s 1:1 effort. This fall, 3,600 students in the district, from kindergarten through seventh grade, will have iPad minis, following its own pilot programs.

Orech said District 99 chose Chromebooks because of their affordability, and because much of the lessons and activities are run through Google Docs and other Google Apps that come with the notebooks.

But for the program to be successful, “it isn’t just the devices,” he said. “It has to be embraced by the teachers and students to kind of change the learning ecology and learning culture that goes on.”

That environment is fostered when teachers can help guide and encourage students to use the devices to be “empowered” learners, he said, determined to create on their own time as well as in the classroom.

Orech said the district will track student performance in the pilot, and collect anecdotal evidence before deciding whether to expand the devices to all 5,200 students.

“When you consider the price of a textbook, it’s a pretty good return on investment,” he said.

LISLE – For 17-year-old Lisle resident and Miss Illinois’ Outstanding Teen Grace Etzkorn, beauty pageants are about substance, not flash.

The Benet Academy senior, who in July traveled to Orlando, Fla. to vie for the title of Miss America’s Outstanding Teen, took her state sash in a dress with a rip at the bot- Grace t o m t h a t s h e Etzkorn had worn to several previous competitions and prom.

“You don’t need a thousand-dollar dress to win,” she said. “They’re judging the girl in the dress, not the dress itself.”

Instead, Etzkorn focuses on presenting herself as a well-rounded and informed contestant. She has participated exclusively in pageants affiliated with the Miss America Organization, an institution she said she was drawn to because of its focus on service and scholarship opportunities.

Since she began competing for crowns, Etzkorn has experienced her share of both.

As the teen representative for the Miss Illinois Scholarship Association, she advocates for her “Keep the Future Bright Substance Free Youth” platform, which she established after her uncle died of a drug overdose when she was 14. Etzkorn also works with the Miss America Organization’s Children’s Miracle Network platform.

She has received several thousand dollars in college scholarships, as well as sponsorships with coaches and retailers for her pageant duties.

“She works hard, and since she was really small, she’s always had big dreams,” said Etzkorn’s mother, Diane.

“When she sees something, she just goes for it.”

That combination of work ethic and ambition is part of what brought Etzkorn the state title.

She entered the Miss Illinois’ Outstanding Teen pageant last year after being crowned Miss Chicago’s Outstanding Teen, but came in fourth.

Not one to give up, she re-entered in 2014 as Miss Windy City’s Outstanding Teen and won in June – on Friday the 13th, no less.

“Grace is incredibly intelligent and mature,” said Miss Chicago Scholarship Program co-executive director Rachel Johnson. “She’s someone that people want to talk to.”

Although she didn’t take home a crown at nationals, Etzkorn will remain busy in the coming months fundraising, traveling and speaking as part of her state duties.

She also is an Illinois youth representative for the D.A.R.E. America Youth Advisory Board, a role she fulfills by appearing at schools and attending conferences, including the recent D.A.R.E. International Training Conference in Grapevine, Texas.

Additionally, Etzkorn is involved in Benet’s school newspaper, choir, musicals and French club.

Her hobbies include dancing, singing, playing guitar and piano, and acting. Her most recent role was that of Ernestine in the Fox Valley Repertory’s production of “Cheaper by the Dozen,” and she has done voiceover and commercial work in the past few months, although she said her pageant duties are her first priority.

With one year of high school remaining, Etzkorn is evaluating her college options.

Finalists include New York University, University of California at Los Angeles, Pepperdine University and Auburn University.

She isn’t yet sure what career she wants to pursue, but is considering acting or journalism.

Restaurant reviews

Standard Market Grill a pleasant, uncommon find WESTMONT – We’ve always been told it’s a bad idea to go grocery shopping when hungry, but at Standard Market, that’s precisely the right time.

Tucked away inside the upscale grocery store sits the Standard Market Grill, offering its customers a casual yet delicious dining experience. The spacious room’s sophisticated decor provides a dramatic setting for the madefresh-to-order cuisine.

The dishes are sourced from the gourmet market’s fresh produce, seafood, in-house-aged meats, craft beer and wine. Cocktails also are served. And overseeing the menu is the same chef’s team behind the market’s sister enterprise, the elegant Bakersfield restaurant across the street.

At the Standard Market Grill walk-up counter, guests are greeted by two cashiers.

After ordering your dish of choice, you have the option to sit wherever you please.

Open daily, the restaurant offers seating at large booths and high-top tables, along with an outdoor patio – my favorite. The patio, where my companion and I chose to dine, is staged with large wooden tables, matching chairs and umbrellas fitted with heating lamps.

It set the perfect summer night mood for a tasty meal, and before we knew it, a waiter sporting a red polo was placing two large plates on our table.

Although Standard Market Grill offers a variety of soups, dinner entrees (N.Y. strip steak and Duroc pork chop), fresh-ground burgers, pizzas and salads (seared tuna Cobb), it was the sandwich selection that caught both my and my

As a meat lover myself, I chose The 24-Hour Steak sandwich. Served on a soft baguette, the steak was complemented by blue cheese, buttermilk garlic dressing, mushrooms, balsamic caramelized onions and arugula.

My fellow diner went with the Cuban Chicken sandwich and delighted at the fact that it looked exactly as he had pictured. His sandwich paired grilled chicken with Swiss cheese, chipotle aioli, smoked tavern ham, and sweet and spicy pickles, all piled on a freshly baked, soft baguette.

The moment our plates arrived, we dug in and didn’t stop until the final crumb was devoured.

With full bellies, we both thought we’d had enough, until we saw the grill’s Root Beer Float, a classic American treat. Delivering a perfect serving size of vanilla ice cream and Chicago-style root

Even though the eatery operates with a fast-casual concept, the wait staff was extremely attentive, continually checking the dining room to be sure guests were satisfied.

One of my favorite parts of Standard Market Grill was the fact that when we ventured into the grocery store after eating ravenously, our shopping list didn’t grow by eight additional items. We were already full and content.

Kevin Aguayo, Bowen Marks, Colin Michels, senior James Graham and junior Gytis Blinstrubas were all members of the varsity last season. Bryan Eckmann has already established himself as a consistent scorer and will add to the Trojans’ depth.

Outlook: In Emily Tom and Taylor Troha, the Mustangs have two sectional tournament-qualifying players back in the fold, and plenty of experience surrounds them. Seniors Maria Garofalo, Sarah Hodges and Carolyn Packard and junior Morgan Meyer also return from last year’s varsity.

By the time the state series starts in early October, South should be well prepared. In addition to a tough tournament schedule that includes Joliet (Saturday), Oak Forest (Sept.

13) and Providence (Sept. 20), the Mustangs face tough teams like Lyons Township, Hinsdale South and Hinsdale Central in dual meets.

Outlook: With Gracie Holler and Cortney Katz back in the fold, the Trojans possess a duo that can consistently post low scores. Both Holler and Katz shot 97s at the regional tournament to qualify for the sectional last year. Madison Farnsworth and Megan Kumiega are also returning to varsity.

South’s tournament slate includes six dates started with Monday’s Naperville Central invite. The squad has other tough tourney tests at Addison Trail (3 p.m. today), Providence (Sept. 13) and Lemont (Oct. 4) before the postseason begins.

Outlook: It will be a new-look Sentinels’ squad this season as slew of seniors have graduated, and the current group will be tested right off the bat as it competes Thursday against Sandwich and Manteno.

“It’s going to be a rebuilding year, no doubt about it,” head coach Frank Cyrus said.

Westmont also will be tested against larger schools like Riverside Brookfield, Ridgewood and Elmwood Park ahead of the postseason, which begins with the Interstate Eight Conference tournament Westmont is hosting Sept. 29 at Willowcrest Golf Club.

LISLE – After making a name for himself while playing for his dad at Creighton, Doug McDermott was traded to the Chicago Bulls on draft night after being selected by the Denver Nuggets with the 11th overall pick.

McDermott recently completed his first summer league with the Bulls and spent some time with the USA Select Team along with Bulls teammate Jimmy Butler.

McDermott visited the Bulls/ Sox Academy on Aug. 13 for a Chicago Bulls All-Day Player Camp, where he signed autographs for young fans and spoke with members of the media, including Suburban Life sports reporter Dan Santaromita.

What was your experience like with the Select Team and getting a chance to be around [Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau]?

McDermott: It was really cool just to get a chance to be around them. Obviously I can learn a lot from them, and I’m going to have a chance to do that coming up here pretty soon.

How was Derrick Rose doing?

McDermott: He was real focused. He wanted to get out there and show what he can do, and he did. He was really good to meet beforehand.

How good was it to see him practicing and playing?

McDermott: It’s been great.

We knew it was coming the whole time because we saw it leading up to summer league, so it wasn’t a big surprise to us when he was out there playing well for USA. It’s great to see and great for us as teammates to see that.

Is everything going how you expected for you this summer?

McDermott: I always expect to do well. I put in a lot of work.

As long as I keep doing that I expect good things to happen.

I’m sure there will be some bumps here and there, but that’s just the way basketball is. I’m just looking forward to

Chicago Bulls rookie jumps into NBA routine

Chicago Bulls rookie Doug McDermott gives some shooting tips to a camper Aug. 13 at the Bulls/Sox Academy Chicago Bulls All-Day Player Camp in Lisle. The rookie was a special guest at the camp. contributing to a really good team.

Was is hard to hear your name in trade rumors?

McDermott: I didn’t follow it too much. I looked at it as I’m an NBA player either way so you can’t complain. I’m just glad I’m here. I feel that they really like me here. I feel like I’m wanted and I want to help out this team.

Has playing with the Select Team the past two years helped you?

McDermott: It really has.

They’ve given me so much more confidence, just being able to play against the best players in the world going into a college season and my first NBA season. There’s not any better way to drive yourself than going against the best players in the world.

Doug McDermott key stats ■ 26.7 Points per game ■ 7.0 Rebounds per game ■ 52.6 Field goal percentage ■ 96 3-pointers made

McDermott: It’s great. It’s just awesome being around the kids and the fans. It shows what kind of support the city has to offer. It’s great helping out and giving kids advice because I was in their shoes one day and they’re all hoping to get into mine.

*For 2013-14 season at Creighton

What have you been working on most in your game this summer?

McDermott: Ball handling, working on my range and, with coach Thibodeau, defense. He preaches defense, so that’s something I got to get better at and that’s something I’m looking forward to working with him.

How much do you enjoy events like [the camp] that help you learn a little bit more about your community?

Who did you follow growing up?

McDermott: I liked the Bulls a lot. I hate to admit it, but I was a huge Reggie Miller Pacers fan, but I liked the Bulls. I’m a Midwest kid and you dream of playing for Chicago, especially watching MJ (Michael Jordan).

What’s been the biggest adjustment of becoming a pro basketball player?

McDermott: Just the lifestyle, the routines. Being able to manage your time well.

You’re not scheduled to do

stuff. You have to show up on your own and get it done.

Have you had a chance to step away off the basketball court?

McDermott: A little bit. Not a lot, though. I plan on doing that here in two weeks or so and take a little time off before getting ready for training camp and try to hit the golf course a little bit.

Has Thibodeau told you how he’s going to use you?

McDermott: I haven’t talked to him a whole lot about that. I think we’re still learning each other. I think we’re both comfortable with each other, which is good. I think me and Kyle Korver, the way they used him a little bit. I’m starting to watch film on him. I’m trying to pick up on things they ran for him and other shooters in the past.

Running with a Bull SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LISLE – It has been a whirlwind summer for Doug McDermott.

From being a first-round selection in the NBA Draft in June to competing in the NBA Summer League to working with some of the best players in the world as a member of the USA Basketball Select Team that practiced with the National Team, McDermott’s first summer as a pro has been a busy one.

After his summer obligations and before training camp starts in October, McDermott took some time out of his schedule to visit youth players participating in the All-Day Players Camps at the Bulls/Sox Academy.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Prep for better weekday eating Eating healthy starts in your own kitchen.

Homemade meals take a little extra planning, but you can cut calories and add more nutrients if you do it yourself.

Here’s the plan: Sunday setup: Designate one day as “Plan and Prep” for the entire week. Make a list of your week’s meals and the ingredients required, then go grocery shopping. When you get home, it’s time to prep.

Some advice: ■ Make sure you have storage containers and an insulated lunch box. They make transportation and storage of food much easier.

■ Grill or bake a week’s worth of chicken breasts.

■ Brown ground turkey or beef that can be tossed in with eggs and pasta sauces.

■ Make a batch of quinoa or brown rice to use for breakfast porridges, salads or side dishes.

■ Hard boil a dozen eggs for on-the-go protein snacks.

■ Slice and dice a week’s worth of fruits and veggies for stirfries, salads and easy snacking.

■ Use your slow cooker. If you’re OK with eating the same food a few times a week, start the slow cooker overnight on Sunday and portion into individual containers the next morning.

Make a versatile meat like pulled chicken or pork to use in a variety of styles: sandwiches, salads, pitas and pastas.

CHILDREN’S HEALTH

New concussions impact study A new study from the American Academy of Pediatrics indicates that concussions from impacts to the top of the head may be more severe than those that result from other impact locations.

The research, using data from the National High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance Study, found that 8 percent of football players with top-ofhead concussions experienced a loss of consciousness, compared with 3.5 percent of those who had impacts on other areas.

CARE Low-profile government office searching – and paying – for solutions

FREE IMAGES.COM

By Jay Hancock Kaiser Health News

T

he Affordable Care Act was supposed to mend what President Barack Obama called a broken health care system, but its best-known programs — online insurance and expanded Medicaid for the poor — affect a relatively small portion of Americans.

A federal office you’ve probably never heard of is supposed to fix health care for everybody else.

The law created the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to launch experiments in every state, changing the way doctors and hospitals are paid, building networks among caregivers and training them to intervene before chronic illness gets worse.

One example: George Washington University’s $1.9 million award to improve care and cut costs for at-home dialysis patients.

Another: CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield’s $24 million grant to reduce unnecessary hospital visits for chronically ill Medicare patients.

The center’s 10-year, $10 billion budget is the largest ever devoted to transforming care. In several states the office is working to overhaul medicine for nearly all residents — not just those with government Medicare and Medicaid coverage.

Every few months it awards test grants of $3 million or $10 million each — or sometimes tens of millions — to community groups, clinics, hospitals, insurance companies, nursing homes and states.

Its programs touch millions of patients. Hundreds of organizations have gotten money. More than $2 billion has been doled out or committed since 2011.

Skeptics on both sides One of the biggest experiments is the center itself. Skeptics, including Republicans but also those who support the health law, wonder if it’s up to the task.

“While I certainly appreciate innovation in the delivery of health care, the CMMI is just another big government bureaucracy created by Obamacare that costs billions and duplicates other efforts,” Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said through a spokesman. Hatch mused at a hearing last year whether the center’s hundreds of tests represent “barely controlled chaos.”

Even policy pros who hope the innovation lab succeeds wonder if its investment will pay off and complain that it is slow to disclose information on spending and results.

“This is absolutely necessary” to try to change how care is bought and delivered, says Christopher Koller, president of the Milbank Memorial Fund, a nonprofit that works to improve medical deci-

sion making. “Is this the right way to do it? A whole bunch of experiments? Is the innovation center adequately resourced in an administrative way to do this? The jury is still out on this.”

Who’s getting money With a staff of 265 and growing, CMMI must not only administer ACOs and other reimbursement tests that reward quality care at lower cost. It also manages hundreds of grants and dozens of contractors hired to monitor and evaluate the programs.

Projects tend to focus on people with expensive diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart failure and schizophrenia. In one round of grants, awardees were urged to deploy projects “as rapidly as possible” and show results within six months.

The Johns Hopkins University got $19.9 million to improve care for East Baltimore’s chronically sick and mentally ill. An AsianAmerican community group got $2.7 million to help low-income Californians navigate the medical system. The University of Tennessee got $3 million to help ensure repeat hospital patients in Memphis stay on their medications after discharge. Intermountain Health Care got $9.7 million to test software that forecasts the best ways for caregivers to interact with patients.

Many efforts don’t just involve the elderly Medicare and poor Medicaid patients in HHS’ primary insurance programs. Six states including Maine, Arkansas and Oregon got up to $45 million each to involve commercial insurers and their members as well as government programs in trials to improve health and control costs.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

TIP OF THE WEEK

Fast food still a mainstay Despite strongly agreeing it is not good for them, Americans continue to make fast food a staple of their diet, with 80 percent eating the product at least once a month, according to results of a new Gallup poll. Almost half (47 percent) report eating fast food at least weekly.

Fast food has long been a major part, if not a particularly healthy one, of the U.S. diet.

Americans seem well aware of the health issues inherent in fast food, with 76 percent responding they believe it to be “not too good” or “not good at all” for them.

Surprisingly, those who eat fast food the most — those who indicated eating the food at least once a week — have strong doubts about the healthfulness of the food. Of those respondents, 54 percent reported a belief that fast food is “not too good” for them, the highest of all respondent categories.

NUMBER TO KNOW The increase 21.8% from 1970 (2,109) to

2010 (2,568) in the average number of calories Americans consumed daily, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data.

RELISH MAGAZINE

Pop of flavor Root Beer Ribs get tender and sweet By the editors of Relish Magazine

C

ooks discovered the benefits of cooking and baking with sodas years ago. Chocolate cake made with Coca-Cola is almost a staple in the South; 7Up appears in pound cake; Sprite forms the base for punches of all kinds; and Orange Crush gives zing to sherbet. So it should come as no surprise that root beer makes an excellent marinade and sauce for ribs. As a marinade, the sugar flavors the meat, while the carbonation tenderizes it.

Barbecue aficionados have a lot to disagree about. Should the meat be cooked wet or dry, with a sauce or without?

Root Beer Baby Back Oven Ribs Brine and ribs: ■ 1/4 cup coarse salt ■ 1/4 cup dry rub barbecue seasoning for pork (use your favorite) ■ 24 ounces root beer, divided ■ 2 racks baby-back pork ribs Sauce: ■ 1 cup ketchup ■ 1 cup root beer ■ 1/2 cup cranberry or apple juice ■ 2 T Worcestershire sauce ■ 2 T apple cider vinegar ■ 1/4 cup light brown sugar ■ 2 T dry rub barbecue seasoning for pork To prepare brine, combine salt, dry rub and half the root beer in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until salt and seasoning dissolve. Remove from heat.

Add remaining root beer. Let cool completely in the refrigerator.

Should ribs be pork or beef, spare ribs or baby backs? Does parboiling help or hurt the cooking process? Should you soak wood chips or just throw them dry on the fire? One thing is for sure: These ribs, double-doused in root beer, are finger-licking good.

The sugar and carbonization in root beer (or any soda) play a major role in tenderizing and flavoring the ribs, but any soda will work: Dr. Pepper, Cheerwine, Ginger Beer — you name it.

This recipe is designed with tender baby-back ribs in mind. If you prefer larger, meatier spare ribs, simply reduce the oven temperature to 300F, and increase the cooking time to 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

Pat ribs dry. Use a sharp chef’s knife to score “X” patterns into the membrane that runs along the back (concave) side of the ribs. Combine ribs and brine in a ziptop plastic bag and marinate in the refrigerator 12 to 24 hours.

Preheat oven to 375F. Drain ribs and discard brine. Wrap each rack in 2 layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place in oven and bake until tender, but not falling apart, about 1½ to 2 hours. (Make ahead tip: Ribs may be prepared in advance up to this point, wrapped in plastic and stored for several days in the refrigerator.)

To prepare sauce, combine all ingredients in a small saucepan.

Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes to thicken, stirring occasionally. Let cool, cover and store in the refrigerator up to 1 month.

When you’re ready to finish cooking the ribs, heat broiler.

Slice foil packets open along the top of each rack and peel back.

(You may remove the foil completely, but leaving it on makes cleanup easier.) Brush the exposed ribs liberally with sauce and broil until caramelized and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Makes 2 full racks and 3 cups sauce. Serves 6.
