Residents flock to End of Summer Carnival

Volunteers continually make summer events possible

By ALEX SOULIER

Westmont Special Events Corp.

asoulier@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – Each year, thousands of residents and out-of-towners descend upon the downtown for annual summer events such as the Taste of Westmont, Red, White, and Bar-B-Q and the Fourth of July celebration.

For the most part, the activities go on without a hitch – attendees file smoothly in and out of gates, children are supervised while on carnival rides and patrons purchase food and beverages at one of the many tents.

But it’s the unpaid, and often unrecognized staff that make Westmont summer events possible.

“Simply put, these events, as large as they are, are not possible without volunteers,” Village Communications Director Larry McIntyre said. “If we had to hire people to replace all of the volunteers, these events would not be feasible.”

McIntyre also is a founding member and the first president

The mission of the Westmont Special Events Committee is to assist the community in the successful development, promotion and execution of various special events. The organization is made up of a 15-member unpaid board of directors, 12 committee members and two village liaisons.

In the 10 years since Westmont Special Events was founded, McIntyre said thousands of volunteers have donated count-

less hours, ensuring that village events run smoothly.

“We have a current listing of more than 1,000 people who volunteer with the WSEC,” he said.

“We have always been very lucky in terms of how many volunteers we have had. it has been consistently high.”

classic cars and working beverage tents.

Additionally, for larger festivals like the Taste of Westmont, typically more than 100 volunteers work more than 1,000 hours to help the show go on, Mayor Ron Gunter said.

One of those volunteers is Westmont resident Robin Gardner, the current vice president of Westmont Special Events

Corp. and a member of the organization for six years.

Not only does she help set up the Taste of Westmont and weekly Westmont Cruisin’ Nights, Gardner, a production secretary at Blistex, uses five of her vacation days to volunteer at the Taste.

She said while it’s an arduous process, the end result is always worth it.

“The volunteers work so hard to make it a bigger event every year – bringing more people into the village to try our restaurants because they are fabulous,” she said. “I think it’s a great way to use my vacation.

I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t’ love it. Plus you get to see all those smiling faces.”

McIntyre added the act of volunteering helps build a sense of community among residents.

“The importance of volunteering extends to creating a greater community among residents,” McIntyre said. “When people get involved and become part of the process, they take a lot of pride in the village.”

Q&A

White: How were you chosen for the executive director position?

Marchetti: I was chosen through a six-month process.

There was a national search, we posted it on our association’s career center and collected resumes from about 70 candidates, then we hired a third-party search firm to get unbiased answers and opinions about the candidates. The search was then narrowed down to 10 candidates, and

DENTAL CARE DURING THE WORK DAY Q: I brush and floss faithfully every morning and night. What can I do for my teeth during the work day?

A: Along with scheduling regular visits to the dentist, maintaining a good regimen of dental care at home is one of the most important things you can do to protect your oral health.

Whether it’s work or some other activity that keeps you busy during the day, here are some steps you can take to keep your mouth fresh and healthy during the day: Don’t snack on foods that cling to your teeth, like candy. Keep a toothbrush and some toothpaste at work, if possible, and brush after lunch. If brushing isn’t feasible, use a paper towel or napkin to wipe your teeth after lunch.

Even that wiping will remove some plaque, bacteria and leftover food particles.

Chew sugarless gum, if it’s appropriate in your daytime circumstance. Chewing gum stimulates production of saliva, which is a natural mouth cleaner. Drink plenty of water during the day, and particularly after eating. This, too, will help wash away the food particles that cavity-causing bacteria thrive on. If you drink fruit juices or soda during the day, use a straw to minimize your teeth’s contact with the acid in the drinks.

Talk with your dentist about other steps you can take during the day to keep your mouth fresh and healthy.

Marchetti: I have been with the organization for 14 years – I have a passion for the hospitality industry. Before working with this particular organization, I was with a marketing company and my clients were the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago, so I was very involved in those tourism industries.

I always loved being in hospitality and came out to DuPage in 1999, and I’ve been in several different roles with this organization. This is my passion and I have been groomed for the role, previously taking part in legislation and grant writing, making presentations to our municipalities and working in different departments of this organization.

due to the uneven stimulation to each ear. Auditory deprivation is even a larger problem. If only one ear hears and understands better, it can become the dominant ear. The ear without the hearing aid is deprived of stimulation.

The ear with the hearing aid hears better, while the unaided ear no longer tries to hear. There are still times when audiologists fit only one ear with a hearing aid, such as when a medical problem prohibits it, or when the ear is completely devoid of hearing.

However, if a hearing loss exists in both ears, fitting bothers with hearing

but only wore one hearing aid. The study concluded that the ability to hear tones decreased the same amount in each ear over time, but that the ability to understand words decreased significantly in only the ear without the hearing aid. This study suggests that both ears be fit with hearing aids as soon as possible after a hearing loss is diagnosed to prevent auditory deprivation. Since that time, numerous investigations and studies worldwide have supported the initial findings.

t is well known in the hearing healthcare community that if hearing loss goes untreated for too long, a phenomenon called auditory deprivation occurs. Auditory deprivation is a decrease in an ear’s ability to understand speech clearly.

Auditory Deprivation

By Audrey G. Freeman, Au.D., Dr. of Audiology “fish” for “dish”, one possible cause may be auditory deprivation. The reversibility of auditory deprivation is a source of dispute among researchers; but one thing is clear, hearing aids have helped in preserving word clarity.

thought is that the brain gradually loses some its ability to process sound information because of a lack of sound stimulation. Another theory is that the brain adapts to the reduced sound levels.

The first study to document auditory deprivation was in 1984 by Silman and Silverman of City University of New York. The study followed hearing impaired adults who had an equal amount of hearing loss in both ears,

In the past, audiologists often fit people with only one hearing aid.

Research over the years has shown that fitting only one hearing aid is a problem. An obvious difficulty is the inability to tell the direction of sound

aids is the route most often recommended by audiologists to achieve the best hearing quality.

Recent hearing research supports the “use it or lose it” theory. Lack of sound stimulation may cause you not to hear clearly. Call your local audiologist (hearing specialist) to schedule a hearing test. Don’t put it off.

Fighting trafficking in the foster care system For too many children in the foster care system, their lives have been filled with instability, abuse and neglect. Often these children are passed from home to home not knowing how long they will stay in one place or who they can trust. The psychological toll of such an environment makes it all too easy for human trafficking rings to target vulnerable foster care Views youth and force them into what can only be described as modern day slavery. That is Peter why lawmakers, community Roskam leaders and law enforcement agencies are joining forces to prevent the estimated 104,000 children in foster care from becoming victims of physical and psychological abuse.

Last month, I joined my colleagues in passing the bipartisan Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act, which makes critical reforms to our foster care laws, working to identify those most vulnerable to predators and take concrete steps to protect these children from abuse. First, the bill increases the reporting requirements for foster parents and child welfare agencies, encouraging them to identify at-risk youth and develop new ways to ensure better information is provided to caseworkers assigned to these children.

Our legislation also works to address current foster care policies that can make it difficult for children to participate in sports, sleep over at a friend’s house, obtain a driver’s license, or get a part-time job – all common rites of passage for kids making the transition into adulthood. Although well-intentioned, in some cases these strict rules can lead to a child becoming isolated and separated from family and friends, making them more vulnerable to victimization.

The Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act offers financial support and incentives for the adoption of foster children to families who otherwise couldn’t afford it. Providing these children more normalcy through social development activities and increasing their chance of adoption into a permanent family is key to not only protecting them from predators but setting up foster care children for long-term success.

Through partnerships at the federal, state and local level, we can go after the criminals who commit this horrible crime, and protect the most vulnerable members of our society. These reforms are a huge step forward, and I will continue to press forward to stamp out the scourge of human trafficking in our communities.

Joe Donar of Woodridge works out flipping a heavy equipment tire at his CrossFit Iron Flag gym in Westmont.

Thumbs up to Westmont business owner and CrossFit trainer Joe Donar for competing on an episode of Country Music Television’s “Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Challenge.” A reality TV show that is billed as “the ultimate test of strength, stamina and wit,” Donar, a 31-year-old former Army Ranger, tackled the Skullbuster obstacle course for a shot at $10,000. Although he initially said he felt as if he “didn’t belong” with the other contestants, hopefully Donar enjoyed watching himself on TV and gained some meaningful exposure for his business, CrossFit Iron Flag.

Thanks to new technology, meteorologists at the National Weather Service’s Romeoville station can now notify the public of dangerous storms faster than ever. A new system installed in June scans the atmosphere roughly every two minutes, as opposed to the prior time of about five minutes. Moreover, the NWS can now issue wireless emergency alerts to cellphone towers, which then send audible noises and warning texts to smartphones in range.

It’s great to see advanced technology making the world – and the Chicago area – a safer place.

La Grange apartments bring transients

Village of La Grange, it’s your last chance to get things right regarding those apartments going up at Ogden Avenue and La Grange Road. Apartments bring transients. The city of Chicago’s looking to get rid of people. They come, they go from year-to-year.

There’s gonna be Section 8. The children are perpetually behind in school because they’re moving year-after-year and missing class.

That area was known for crime; transient people bring crime to apartments. At the very least, to make these condos – this quoting about the income level from 50 grand and up – that’s window dressing to get you to agree to it. And the planning commission

Don’t run over road kill

Anybody who runs over road kill in daylight, should have their license suspended for a month and made to clean up all the road kill, especially skunks. It’s obvious people are not paying attention as they’re driving. And with the skunks, if you hit that scent pack, they’re gonna smell.

Some residents should live in a dome

I’m responding to the letter writer about dogs peeing in their yard and how gross it is. They might wanna put a dome over their house. Because I have seen hundreds of squirrels, skunks, raccoons, possums, birds, rabbits and cats, to name a few, in people’s yards. Do they really think not one of those mammals pee in their yards? A dome would be good.

And while we’re at it, while you’re out walking yourself, watch out for things coming out of trees because squirrels, skunks, raccoons and birds all live in trees. And you never know what will come out of them. So, I just thought I’d mention that, get a dome.

I’m calling about more green space in La Grange at Ashland and Harris avenues. There is a lot that used to be a funeral home that’s been empty for more than eight years. It’s now being zoned to possibly be a condominium complex within that neighborhood.

There are numerous large condo buildings and apartment buildings, and we don’t need that. What we need in La Grange is green space.

It could be a community garden. It could be a lovely, enhancing part of the village, as opposed to more buildings, especially when that large apartment complex is going to be built not too far away on the corner of Ogden Avenue and La Grange Road. So, let’s go for more green space in La Grange and petition the village to buy that lot and turn it into green space for the residents of La Grange. Thank you.

Clarendon Hills teen takes over racetrack

By ZACHARY WHITE zwhite@shawmedia.com CLARENDON HILLS – In four years, Jack Mitchell Jr.’s goal is to have a degree from Marquette University and a renewed license that encourages him to drive more than double the speed limit.

The 18-year-old Clarendon Hills resident is not only embarking on an undergraduate degree this fall, he’s chasing a dream of becoming a professional IndyCar driver, something he thinks is a very tangible goal.

If 2013 is any indication, Mitchell may be well on his way. In October, after securing sponsorships with Sparco, Honda and Spectrum, Mitchell was named lead driver of the Canadian team Exclusive Autosport and won the Toyo Tires F1600 Championship A-Class Championship.

He is off to a good start this season, too, reaching the podium after finishing second July 17 in a F1600 Championship race in Toronto.

“There’s nothing stopping me from being in the Indy 500 out of college,” he said. “All I have to do is win.”

A recent Fenwick High School graduate, Mitchell first got into a car at the age of 13 when he was visiting Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis. His father, John Mitchell, had taken up racing and offered his son a chance to get in the driver’s seat.

“I was just watching, really had no interest in racing at all,” Mitchell said. “He asked me if I would do it, and I was like ‘oh yeah, of course.’ Any kid would want to do that.”

So his father and members of the Road America staff put him in the car, shifted it into third gear and let him drive.

Since then, Mitchell has been driving in the Toyo Tires Formula 1600 Series, earning Rookie of the Year honors and collecting a win and six podiums. Additionally, in 2012, Mitchell finished as the vice champion in the Skip Barber Summer Series, securing six wins and eighteen podiums in

20 races.

He also was named to the Team USA Scholarship and traveled England to compete in the Brands Hatch Formula Ford Festival and the Walter Hayes Trophy race.

Mitchell said it was initially hard to break into the racing community as a 13-year-old.

“Most people start go-karting and stuff when they’re 5,” Mitchell said. “It was really hard to break into the racing circle because people had been go-karting at the same tracks for literally like 10 years before I had even gotten in a car.”

Mitchell also noted he is the youngest driver in his current racing series and has been one of the youngest drivers for most of the time he has been racing, often competing against men in their early 20s.

But when he’s behind the wheel and driving 145 miles per hour, age is often irrelevant.

“You can set up the car differently, but in the end, its just kind of how you drive it,” Mitchell said.

Even though he’s in the fast lane, Mitchell said it’s a long drive to the top.

Like a soccer or baseball player working through minor league ranks, Mitchell has to make it through the racing farm system by winning rac-

es in the USF2000 Championship Series, then moving up and winning in the Pro Mazda Championship and finally proving himself in the Firestone Indy Lights before reaching the pinnacle of open-wheel racing, the IndyCar Series.

The road ahead is long and bumpy, which is why his father thinks school is the best option.

“The most important thing is for him to get an education,” John Mitchell said. “A lot of the guys out there are putting all their time into racing and aren’t [getting an education].”

With the goal of double majoring in biology and economics, Mitchell may have his work cut out for him, but he is unwilling to let the future workload slow him down.

“If I could put it in one sentence, I would say ‘just go for it – go for the gap,”’ Mitchell said.

“Because if you hesitate – and I’m sure it’s true in life – it just doesn’t work out.”

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA ELMHURST – Chris Nybo, R-Elmhurst, will replace Kirk Dillard of Hinsdale in the Illinois Senate’s 24th District.

Nybo’s appointment comes after Dillard resigned from the state Senate on Sunday in order to accept his appointment as chairman of the Regional Transportation Authority, according to a news release.

DuPage GOP Chairwoman Darlene Ruscitti and Lyons Township GOP committeeman James Falvey convened a committee, which appointed Nybo to be sworn in and fulfill the term.

The overwhelming majority of the district is in DuPage County with a few precincts adno=S024647

in Western Springs that define the makeup of the nominating committee, the release said.

Ruscitti, who represents more than 95 percent of the GOP weighted vote in the district, said she nominated Nybo because voters had already chosen him in the March primary.

Nybo will be sworn in at 5 p.m. today at the Sunken Garden Memorial at Lombard Common Park. GOP Senate Leader Christine Radogno and Dillard will attend the ceremony along with several elected state officials, family and friends of the new senator, the release said.

The 24th District includes all or parts of Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills, Willowbrook, Westmont, Darien, Downers Grove, Western Springs, Oak Brook, Oakbrook Terrace, Elmhurst, Lombard, Glen Ellyn, Wheaton and Lisle.

Restaurant reviews Pulled-pork sandwiches made in-house from slowcooked pork tenderloin are complemented by sweet potato fries.

Enjoy a game and meal at StoneHouse Pub LEMONT – I made a terrible mistake when I ordered my meal at StoneHouse Pub. Don’t get me wrong – the dish I ordered tasted fantastic.

I really enjoyed every bite, the flavor, texture, quality of ingredients. It was all perfect.

The server tried to warn me, “Are you sure that’s what you want to order?”

I wasn’t really paying close attention like I should have.

I was engrossed in conversation with my two dining companions, and had picked something absentmindedly.

“Yes, I’m sure,” I said.

This is a great example of why diners should always listen to their servers.

The strangest part of all?

I could see myself ordering it again. And regretting it again.

The stuffed burger at StoneHouse Pub in Lemont is probably the largest sandwich I’ve ever seen, aside from ridiculous eating competitions on TV. It’s billed as three-quarters of a pound of Angus beef burger, stuffed with the diner’s choice of two ingredients. I chose American cheese and onions.

I guess it hadn’t really registered consciously exactly how big that was going to be when I ordered it, but I was certainly brought back to reality when it was delivered.

You know how burger commercials on TV make their sandwiches look impossibly tall, but then you order one at a fast-food joint and it’s about a centimeter thick? This was the impressive TV version, except with a high-quality bun, fresh tomato slices, and some of the best-tasting beef patties I’ve ever tried.

Knowing that the server had questioned the wisdom of my order, and feeling like I’d be in for some ribbing if I failed to consume the whole thing, I resolved right then that I would not leave Stone-

House Pub without finishing this behemoth.

While I was working my way through three meals’ worth of cheeseburger, my companions were enjoying much more reasonable dinners. One had the pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries, and the other went for the cod fish sandwich, a deepfried filet served with lettuce, tomato and onion. They were both well-pleased by their orders.

We were fortunate to be at StoneHouse on the night of a major sporting event, and the pub filled up over the course of our time there with fans enjoying the convivial atmosphere. As the only sports fan among our trio (sports and overeating go together, right?), I was caught up in the enthusiasm. This is clearly a great place to see a game.

For an eatery that doesn’t put on airs or claim to be a fine dining establishment, StoneHouse, nevertheless, clearly takes the food part of its business seriously. There were wraps, salads, pizza, baby back ribs, tacos, baked tilapia and a variety of items on the menu when we visited.

As the evening wore on, I became less and less an active participant in our group’s conversation, as I focused on the task before me. My taste buds still wanted more, but my stomach was starting to

The stuffed burger at StoneHouse Pub lets you pick any two ingredients to go between the patties. It’s billed as three-quarters of a pound of Angus beef.

StoneHouse Pub in Lemont is a great place to watch a sporting event, to have dinner with friends, or to relax with a drink after a long day. protest. By the time I finished off the last few bites, I had become well-acquainted with the concept of the Pyrrhic victory – I may have won, but I didn’t particularly feel like a winner in terms of restraint.

So learn from my exam-

ple – you can get a great meal at StoneHouse Pub, but if you order the stuffed burger, you’d better be prepared for a challenge. Or maybe cut the burger in half and take a portion of it home. That would’ve been a really good idea.

Q&A

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com Doug Diedrick knows a lot about winning, having been a member of state title-winning football teams with Montini in 2009 and 2010. The Woodridge native, who racked up five tackles in the 2009 title game and seven stops as a senior in 2010, matriculated at Northwestern as a preferred walkon as was part of a 10-win team in 2012.

Currently a superback for the Wildcats, Diedrick is a newly minted scholarship player who is prepping for his junior season in Evanston. He recently spoke with Suburban Life sports editor Jason Rossi about making the jump from high school to college football, his preparation for this season and about playing for iconic Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald.

Rossi: What did you do in the offseason to get as ready as possible for the upcoming campaign?

Diedrick: I was in the early morning workout group, lifting at 5:30 in the morning. Those were as good of workouts as we’ve had. Then we’d do an hour, hour-and-ahalf of running, speed work and agility drills. It was the same stuff we’ve been doing in the past, we just did it more often. I definitely feel like I’m ready for the season.

Northwestern’s Doug Diedrick returns a kickoff in a game against Illinois last season. The Woodridge native and Montini graduate is looking to have a big impact this fall during his junior season.

Rossi: As a team, you definitely had some close losses last year (two overtime losses and two others by three points or less).

Are you and your teammates using that as motivation?

Diedrick: Everyone is motivated. We know we lost a couple games we definitely could have won, but we feel like we can bounce back if we can find a way to finish games strong. If we can do that, we feel things will work out for us better this year.

Rossi: What’s it like making the jump from high school to college football?

Diedrick: It’s definitely a big jump. You have more responsibility because you’re on your own and you have to make decisions yourself. But it’s also fun because you can improve and you can show your teammates how your hard work can pay off.

Rossi: Do you think playing at Montini helped get you ready for the college game?

Diedrick: Big Ten, playing at the college level, it’s definitely a huge step, but playing at Montini definitely prepared me. The knowledge that I gained from my coaches in high school, I feel like that was as good as any high school around.

Rossi: What’s it like playing for a guy like coach Fitzgerald?

Diedrick: He’s an unbelievable coach. He’s a player’s coach. He’s been through it, so he gets it. He knows what we’re going through. He’s a great motivator and a great guy to be around.

Rossi: What are some of your personal goals this season?

Diedrick: I know my role as a fullback and special teams player, and I want to take advantage in practice, earn my spot on special teams again and try to find my way on to the field on offense.

Rossi: Is there one home game you’re really looking forward to this season?

Diedrick: I think Wisconsin will be a big one. They got the best of us last year, so I think that will be a fun game.

Jack Allen

Aaron Bailey

Tommy Schutt

Austin Teitsma

COLLEGE: Michigan State HIGH SCHOOL: Hinsdale Central YEAR: Junior POSITION: Offensive lineman Allen enters this fall slated to start for the third year in a row. After redshirting his first year on campus in 2011, Allen has played in 25 games with 24 starts since 2012. All but five of those starts have come at center, where he is expected to play this season. The Spartans are defending Big Ten champions, and Allen is one of three players who started on the offensive line in Michigan State’s Rose Bowl win against Stanford that are slated to return.

Michigan State ■ Brian Allen, OL, Hinsdale Central

COLLEGE: Illinois HIGH SCHOOL: Bolingbrook YEAR: Sophomore POSITION: Quarterback Bailey, listed at 6-foot-2, 225 pounds, used his size, speed and overall athleticism to get on the field in his first year on campus. He played in nine games, being mostly used as a goal-line quarterback. Bailey ran for three touchdowns and passed for one more, all from 10 yards or less.

Overall, he ran for 83 yards on 20 carries and was 2-for-5 for four yards through the air. Nathan Scheelhaase, a four-year starter at quarterback, is gone, but Wes Lunt, a highly touted transfer from Oklahoma State will battle for playing time with Bailey and fellow local product Reilly O’Toole.

Indiana ■ Ben Bach, CB, Wheaton Warrenville South ■ Nick Campos, P, Wheaton Warrenville South ■ Nile Sykes, LB, Montini (Oak Park) Minnesota ■ Andrew Harte, K, Montini (Downers Grove) Iowa ■ Colin Goebel, OL, Naperville North (Lisle) ■ Jaleel Johnson, DL, Montini (Lombard) Purdue ■ Will Colmery, DE, Nazareth (Western Springs) ■ Grant Ellington, LS, Nazareth (La Grange) Wisconsin ■ Thad Armstrong, QB, Wheaton Warrenville South

COLLEGE: Ohio State HIGH SCHOOL: Glenbard West YEAR: Junior POSITION: Defensive line Schutt is a two-year letter winner for the Buckeyes and has played in 17 games thus far in his collegiate career. He missed the first six contests last season due to injury but ended up playing in six games, registering three tackles and half of a sack as the Buckeyes finished third in the country with 42 sacks last season. As a freshman, the 6-foot-2, 300-pounder saw action in 10 games.

COLLEGE: Illinois HIGH SCHOOL: Glenbard South YEAR: Senior POSITION: Defensive line After playing in seven games as a redshirt freshman and all 12 contests as a sophomore, Teitsma earned a starting role last fall at defensive tackle. The 6-foot-2, 290-pounder finished sixth on the Illini with 53 tackles and also added 5 ½ tackles for loss, one forced fumble and three quarterback hurries. He tied a career high with eight tackles against Northwestern in the final game of the season.

COLLEGE: Northwestern HIGH SCHOOL: Lyons Township YEAR: Sophomore POSITION: Cornerback/kick returner Harris’ first game action came on special teams, both on kickoffs and kick returns. With Venric Mark injured for most of the season, Harris became the Wildcats’ primary kickoff returner. He took 21 kicks for 484 yards, including a 47-yard return against Western Michigan. As a cornerback, Harris started the last five games of the season, totaling 36 tackles and being named to ESPN.com’s Big Ten All-Freshman team.

He was one of just two true freshmen to play last season for Northwestern.

Reilly O’Toole

COLLEGE: Illinois HIGH SCHOOL: Wheaton Warrenville South YEAR: Senior POSITION: Quarterback Entering his fourth and final year with the Illini, O’Toole has seen action behind center in each of his first three seasons.

As a junior, he played in six games, completing 12-of-16 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 34 yards. O’Toole started twice as a sophomore, finishing with 564 yards and six touchdowns that year, after taking part in 10 games as a freshman.

Kyle Prater

Dan Vitale

Jordan Walsh

Jordan Westerkamp

COLLEGE: Northwestern HIGH SCHOOL: Wheaton Warrenville South YEAR: Junior POSITION: Superback In just two seasons for the Wildcats, this WWS graduate already has carved out quite a solid career for himself. After receiving playing time as a true freshman, Vitale started all 12 games in 2013 as a superback (a combination fullback and tight end). Catching at least one pass in every contest, the incoming junior finished third on Northwestern with 34 receptions for 382 yards, which included a five-catch, 101yard performance against California. He also hauled in three touchdowns.

COLLEGE: Iowa HIGH SCHOOL: Glenbard West YEAR: Junior POSITION: Offensive line After seeing spot duty and playing in seven games in 2012, Walsh ascended to a starting position last fall and was entrenched at right guard for all 13 contests. The 6-foot-4, 290-pounder helped the Hawkeyes total nearly 500 yards of offense in each of the team’s first two games of the 2013 season while also playing a role in Iowa rushing for over 200 yards in five straight games to begin the 2013 campaign.

COLLEGE: Northwestern HIGH SCHOOL: Proviso West YEAR: Senior POSITION: Wide receiver The USC transfer has struggled to make his mark in two seasons at Northwestern. In the past two years, he has combined for 19 receptions and 113 yards without catching any touchdowns. Entering his senior season, Prater is hoping to match the expectations placed on him out of high school.

His 59 yards last season ranked ninth on the team, but three of the players who finished ahead of him were seniors.

COLLEGE: Nebraska HIGH SCHOOL: Montini YEAR: Sophomore POSITION: Wide receiver Westerkamp made a big impression as a redshirt freshman for the Cornhuskers. He played in all 13 games and started the Gator Bowl win against Georgia. He was third on Nebraska with 283 receiving yards and fourth in receptions with 20.

He also had 19 punt returns for 51 yards. Westerkamp’s only touchdown came against Northwestern on a 49-yard Hail Mary on the last play of the game to give the Huskers the win. This fall, he could see play a bigger role in the offense as the second-leading wide receiver among returners.
