Drama students learn about Jewish heritageBy DAN FARNHAM
HINSDALE – Hinsdale Central High
School’s March production of “Fiddler
on the Roof” will be a departure from
what many of the students are used to
in musicals.
Show director Chris Hicks said be-
sides the music being in a minor key,
the subject matter is more serious –
Russian Jews in 1905 being forced to
leave their village.
“They have to do a lot of historical
research to know what it’s like to be
these people,” Hicks said of the stu-
dents’ roles.
To get a historical perspective and
learn about Jewish culture, she brought
in Rabbi Max Weiss from Oak Park
Temple on Jan. 22 to talk to the students.
Weiss said he spoke about Jewish
life and the Pale of Settlement, a region
in Czarist Russia where Jews were al-
lowed to live.
Hicks said it was important to bring
in an expert on Jewish culture because
of the small Jewish population in the
Hinsdale area.
“I think the historical perspective
of 1905 Jews in Russia, but being a con-
temporary perspective – what’s it like
to be an adherent of Jewish principles
today – would be something the kids
would get a lot out of,” Hicks said.
Weiss, who had spoken to a group
performing “Fiddler on the Roof” once
before, said he thought the students
were engaged.
“I think they were curious about
what Jewish life was like and what the
pressures where like during that time
period,” he said. “They were trying to
further flesh out the characters.”
Ike Ihemeson, a senior who will be
playing Avram the bookseller, said he
has previously had little experience
with Jewish culture but felt he was
able to learn more from listening to
Rabbi Weiss.
“He talked a lot about what we’re
acting out right now and how it’s being
applied,” Ihemeson said.
Hicks said the students, who had read
the script of the musical, asked ques-
tions about the importance of match-making, blessings and the Sabbath.
“They were coming from the knowl-edge of the play and he was comingfrom his knowledge, and he was ableto fill in a lot of gaps that they had,”she said.
Weiss said “Fiddler on the Roof” isan entertaining show and hopes to seeHinsdale Central’s production.
However, he said the show is moreentertainment than a completely accu-rate story, although he said the focuson family and outside pressure fromRussian authority was accurate.
“I told the kids that you don’t go to‘West Side Story’ to learn about life inNew York,” he said.
“Fiddler on the Roof” will be stagedMarch 12 to 14. For information, visit

Business experts ‘cautiously optimistic’ for 2015By KELLI MURRAY
The million-dollar question alwaysseems to ponder what the future willbring. Prosperity? Jobs?
Hard questions with no easy or one-size-fits-all answer. A panel of expertstackled some of those difficult ques-tions Tuesday during the EconomicForecast 2015 event hosted by Subur-ban Life Media.
Keynote speaker John Quigley,president and CEO of Elmhurst Cham-ber of Commerce, offered a mixed bagof news in his opening remarks to themore than 100 business and communi-ty members in attendance at the DruryLane Conference Center in Oak BrookTerrace.
“I’ve lived in the western suburbsfor almost 60 years,” Quigley said. “It’salways been a vibrant place to live.This is a great idea for a conferenceand great place to get business leaderstogether.”
He offered snapshots of econom-ic growth in 2014, including that thenation is experiencing the fastest jobgrowth since 1999, interest rates re-main at historic lows to help keep in-flation rates in check and the nationalunemployment rate is less than 6 per-cent, although Illinois currently is at6.4 percent.
A banker for 30 years, Richard Re-ichert, president and CEO of Communi-ty Bank of Elmhurst, also has seen posi-tive signs of economy returning to life.
“I am cautiously optimistic for2015,” Reichert said. “I’ve seen astronger economy, especially in eastDuPage. We’ve seen some commercialcustomers make new investments inequipment and new product lines.”
There also has been investment inElmhurst through the use of a tax in-crement financing district in the northend of Elmhurst, anchored by a newgrocery store, as well as downtown de-velopment, he added.
Theresa Schulz, president and man-aging broker of Schulz Properties Com-mercial Real Estate in Downers Grove,responded to a question referencingthe state of the commercial real estateindustry.
“What I’ve seen is a change in thebig-box retailers,” Schulz said. “Theyhave maxed out in the market place.... The grocery stores made a majorimpact in 2014. ... We are so gratefulfor Caputo’s coming to the market, andthey brought a new element into themarket.”
Heath Ashenfelter, division vicepresident of True Value Company Chi-cago, felt a two-prong approach would
be the best method when it came toe-commerce and how that affects brick-and-mortar locations.
“For folks shopping for products$500 or more, say a lawnmower in myworld, 80 percent shop online priorto engaging with a brick-and-mortarstore,” Ashenfelter said. “More im-portant is that on average, those con-sumers spend 80 days shopping onlinebefore making a purchase.”
Ashenfelter stressed that it is cru-cial to businesses to identify theirbrand by having a viable website thatalso is mobile for customers that areresearching competitors websiteswhile inside their store.
The second approach is to consid-er the different shopping patterns ofGeneration X that tend to want expertsto fix things and Generation Y, whoare interested in projects they will dothemselves, he said.
“These folks’ expectations are dif-ferent and you have to market differ-
ently,” he added.In speaking to the skill set required
for future employees who are still incollege, Timothy Ricordati, dean ofthe School for Professional Studies atElmhurst College, cited a study fromthe Association of American Collegeand Universities that asked employerswhat skill they would seek in an em-ployee.
“Ninety percent said the most im-portant characteristics are soft skills:critical thinking, problem solving,communication skills and the abilityto work in teams,” Ricordati said. “Theundergraduate major of that person issecondary to having those skills. Thatis eye opening.”
Ultimately, for businesses in 2015,the future does look bright.
“Falling unemployment, low fuelcosts and low interest rates,” said ScottMagnesen, MPW Group, who helpedsponsor the event. “We are not in a badspot.”

DOWNERS GROVE – Onceupon a time, businessman JimLegner attended the Dungeonsand Dragons Club at the Down-ers Grove Public Library whenhe was in middle school. It wasan activity that would have alasting impact throughout hisquest into adulthood.
The Clarendon Hills res-ident has been involved withfamily entertainment-basedattractions since he openedthe fun-house maze AmazingChicago 14 years ago on NavyPier. Legner expanded his en-tertainment enterprise withthe newly opened AdventureRealm, an entertainment cen-ter where live-action role play-ing meets virtual gaming.
Lords and ladies of therealm, medieval costumes,magic wands and a Great Hallof Games await all who enterthe 23,400-square-foot fanta-sy kingdom at 2011 63rd St.,Downers Grove.
MagiQuest is the heart ofthe operation. With the aidof a magic wand that may bebought for $15.99 or rented for$1.99, a customer creates theirown character before theyhead out on a series of quests
through a medieval-themedmaze. The electronic wandsretain a customer’s characterand progress for future visits,which can be used in otherMagiQuest locations, such asGreat Wolf Lodge.
By waving the wand infront of monitors, customersactivate the on-screen anima-tion and have an opportunityto gain powers through mag-ic runes. Eventually, thesepowers will allow for further
quests. There are 20 levels ofMagiQuest quests for adven-turers to experience.
“Some kids come dressedin costume and decorate theirwands,” Legner said. “It’s reallylike a Renaissance fair in here.”

His ability to lead the way duringour irst ever Hoopscoming Week was impressive. Getting numerous studentsinvolved to create video announcements about the events associated with theweek was innovative and a great model for what future student leaders shoulddo in order to promote our school and encourage as many as possible to getinvolved. This year’s Hoopscoming Dance had 450 students in attendance. Anincredible number considering this is a dance that typically does not run due tolow participation.
Jacob has done an incredible job of balancing the academic andextracurricular life as a student. Beyond Student Council, Jacob also leadsthe way in F.B.L.A., played golf in the fall and will wrap up his sports careerin the spring as a member of the tennis team. Regardless of where Jacobdecides to continue his education in the fall, his investment in the classroom,extracurricular activities and sports at CHS will be dificult shoes to ill in thefuture.”

He visits there annually with his immediate family and is all toofamiliar with the extent of the poverty there. He felt that there was no betterplace to donate his goods, then to the children in Guatemala. Today, Johan’ssimple but extraordinary idea has blossomed into a full-ledged organizationthat he now calls, “Goals4All”. It has been in existence for almost six yearsnow and every year, a different school in Guatemala is chosen to receive allof the equipment Johan gathers throughout the year.

n LAST WEEK’S WEB POLL QUESTION:Where do you plan to watch the Super Bowl?
In a state with budgets in disarray, withthe biggest pension crisis in the nation, withone governor in prison for corruption andanother just recently released, it’s prettytough to stomach Robert Breuder’s $760,000payoff to retire early as College of DuPagepresident.
At $142 per credit hour, a full-time studentat College of DuPage taking 15 credit hoursof classes can expect to pay $6,390 in tuitionand fees alone. So Brueder’s windfall couldpay for 118 students to go to school for a year,tuition free.
Beyond the money itself, there’s the prob-lem of what it represents. With this deal,which the College of DuPage trustees have ap-proved twice now, Breuder gets to walk awayfrom this job proud of all his achievements,convinced his tenure was a magnificent suc-cess, marred only by some meaningless un-pleasantness at the very end.
Oh, and he gets a building named afterhim.
But what we don’t know is how many ofthose achievements and grand successes areempty. Breuder’s surprise retirement hascome on the heels of the release of an emailthat showed the kind of dirty politics he’s ca-pable of. He’s been exposed as just anotherIllinois charlatan, the kind of leader who hasno qualms about pointing one way and thenrunning the other.
Breuder’s email to the board, which leakedin July, shows him proposing to deceive thestate by making a planned project more polit-ically attractive in order to wrangle $20 mil-lion in funding that the college was owed.
In the email, Breuder expressed frustra-tion over dealing with the governor’s officeto free up the $20 million and said he wantedthe board to convey the need for a teachingand learning facility as a means to obtain themoney.
“I have no problem with [board members
commenting on the need for a facility]; how-ever, not being able to say how we would usethe state’s money (perhaps no real need) couldlessen our chances to break the money looseat this time (the political moon is rising),”Breuder said in the email. “A building thatfocuses on teaching and learning is politicallyattractive; more so than let’s say a studentcenter, PE facility, etc.”
Breuder also suggested getting the fundingfrom the state and coming up with a plan ofhow to spend it at a later date.
“There is also the option of telling the Gov-ernor we want the money, will bank it untilwe figure out how to use it and then buildingsomething,” Breuder said in the email. “Bot-tom line: I need some room to breathe on thismatter so I can enhance the likelihood we getthe $20 million soon.”
The Chicago suburbs have seen somethinglike this play out before. It was only in 2009that McHenry County College up in CrystalLake told their president, Walt Packard, hisservices were no longer needed. They decidedthey couldn’t fire him, though, and gave himanother $200,000, plus benefits, for his trouble.
Looking further downstate, when Univer-sity of Illinois President Michael Hogan wasfired in 2012 after just 20 months on the job –after succeeding another fired president – hewas awarded a one-year, $285,100 “sabbatical”before he then returned as a history profes-sor.
Then these “leaders” go on to collect exor-bitant pensions on top of the one-time pilesof cash.
As Illinois residents, as taxpayers in Du-Page County, we can have no tolerance forthese kinds of shenanigans anymore. Wedon’t want to hear that this is how things getdone. Somehow, other states manage to getthings accomplished without constantly re-sorting to dirty dealing.
These payouts for failure have to stop.

Breuder’s windfall part of apattern of poor leadership
More than 2.5 million grandparents in America are raisingtheir grandchildren, and almost 100,000 throughout Illinoisdo so, according to AARP. For many grandparents, thechallenges they face in being caregivers can be numerousand complex. To help them cope with those challenges andsucceed, Metropolitan Fam-ily Services DuPage Centeroffers Grandparents RaisingGrandchildren.
Grandparents RaisingGrandchildren is a drop-insupport group from 6 to 8p.m. monthly on the sec-ond and fourth Mondays at Metropolitan’s DuPage Center, 222E. Willow Ave. in Wheaton. The group, which has been helpingfamilies for more than 20 years, provides emotional support forgrandparents as well as links to resources such as counselingand other services. There is no cost, and attendees can come asoften as they like. Childcare is offered for grandchildren agesthree to 13.
The group starts with a half-hour pizza party for the grand-parents and grandchildren, followed by the support group forthe grandparents.
Grandparents gain many benefits by participating, startingby learning they are not alone.
“The grandparents get to connect with others who areexperiencing what they are experiencing – their phase of lifeputs them out of touch of most of their peers,” said Kelly Reid,Grandparents Raising Grandchildren facilitator.
Getting to share with and learn from peers helps grandpar-ents deal with special challenges they encounter, such as thefact that many of their grandchildren have experienced emo-tional or physical abuse at the hands of their parents, becauseof parents’ struggles with mental illness, drug addiction oralcoholism.
Grandparents also have their own matters to deal with,such as health issues or limited finances, as many are on fixedincomes. And often there is grief and loss, as they think aboutwhat they thought they would be doing at this point in theirlives – enjoying life as retirees, traveling, etc.
To attend the group and for information, contact Kelly Reidat 630-784-4839 or [email protected].

Show courtesy to neighborsTo owners with barking dogs: When
your dogs are barking continuously atpeople walking their dogs or just peopleout walking or something else, come outof your house and correct your dog andbring them in. We know dogs bark, butnot for 15 minutes to an hour nonstop.We know you hear them, but you donothing. Please have some commoncourtesy for your neighbors.
Why so willing to go alongwith Robert Breuder?With the exception of board member
Kathy Hamilton, please hand out thedunce caps. [It’s] just incredible that thisgroup, including Chairwoman Erin Birt, isso naïve and can’t understand their onlyduty is a fiduciary one to taxpayers andstudents. [Robert] Breuder has clearlyworked in his personal best interest, butwhy is the board so willing and helpful toallow it? Put their hats on, move themin the back room and replace them all,except Hamilton.
Breuder should have been fired,not rewarded with severanceAgain, we have College of DuPage in the
news and the stupidity of the Board ofTrustees continues (except for one lonewolf who has integrity). What in the worldare the trustees thinking? With the “noconfidence” vote that was overwhelming,the trustees see fit to award [Robert]Breuder $762,000 in severance? Don’tthe trustees have any backbone? The manshould have been fired, not rewarded.There has been nothing but tension in thecollege since he arrived. Most of the fac-ulty and students would love to see thisman walked out in handcuffs instead ofwith money bags. It is also time the publicdid its homework before an election.There are seven trustees that should alsobe shown to the door. Wake up people!
Not a ridiculous complaintI would like to respond to what I saw
today about ridiculous complaints. Peopleare mad that snow is left on their drive-ways. When you’ve had 2.5 feet of snowand had back surgery and you can’t get itshoveled, can’t get in or out of your drive-way, that’s not a ridiculous complaint.
Sounding off about Sound OffI enjoy the Sound Off column. I likepeople sounding off, expressing theirfeelings, giving their opinions. I’m evenfor expanding the column space. That’sme, sounding off.
Why does Westmont botherwith mosquito abatement?I have been a Westmont resident for
10 years. During that time, Westmonthas spent about $1 million on mosquitoabatement. In these very pages, West-mont’s own village manager was quotedas saying that treating for mosquitoes(spraying, etc.) was “about as effectiveas trying to shoot a mosquito with a BBgun.” Indeed, other neighboring com-munities with much higher per-capitaeducation and income, do not treat formosquitoes. I would ask Westmontleadership, yet again, please not tospend another $75,000 to $100,000on mosquito abatement. If you reallyfeel compelled to do something aboutmosquitoes, equally as effective, go tothe local department store and buy a BBgun for $39.99. We, the taxpayers, willbe thankful.
Driving dangerouslyAfter reading Sound Off, I had to
respond regarding a stop light on oneof the side streets from the BurlingtonHighlands. I have lived here 43 yearsand have witnessed so many crashes, itwould surprise residents from other partsof Downers Grove. Traffic moves so fastin four lanes and the turn lanes, you takeyour life in your hands trying to turn left.None of us do. We drive out of our wayto go east on Ogden [Avenue]. I guessyou have to live here to understand thisissue.

Clean up the underpassThis is regarding the [Interstate] 355
underpass, which divides Lisle andDowners Grove on Hitchcock Road. Thearea underneath [Interstate] 355 in theright-of-way walk areas and so forth inthere has debris, garbage, old cans, land-scaping debris, cups, so on and so forth,old fast food bags. Consistently, it’s beenlike that for a long time. Only periodically,does – I believe – the village of Down-ers Grove clean that up. I believe that’svillage of Downers Grove’s jurisdiction.That’s their area, not Lisle’s, but DownersGrove. And it’s a terrible, terrible eyesore.It looks like somewhere in downtownDetroit, not downtown, on the outskirtsof the city. It looks terrible. Periodically,at least twice a week, someone shouldgo through there and clean it up.
Downers Grove residentswant referendum on buildingThe voters of Downers Grove want a
referendum to ask if the village shouldspend $46 million or more building thenew facilities. At the last Downers Grovecouncil meeting, councilman Geoff
Neustadt said, “Governing by referendumis not something I’m in favor of.” Mr.Neustadt is running for mayor of Down-ers Grove, yet it seems he does not wantto govern by what the people want. Ithink any mayoral candidate should listento what the people are saying becausewe are speaking loud.
Address La Grange traffic backupI recently have the new, unfavorable
task of driving through the intersectionof Ogden Avenue and La Grange Road,specifically westbound Ogden [Avenue]approaching La Grange Road. Drivingunder that train overpass, I must say, thebackup is a disaster during rush hour,morning and afternoon. With all the dis-cussion and lawsuits over the abandonedproperty where the YMCA was, can thevillage of La Grange wake up – and whilenothing has been built there yet – add amuch needed right turn lane there fromthe road that leads down to that parkextended to La Grange Road? Move a fewpoles, cut away some of those emptycement lots there, put a traffic signalthat has a green arrow that allows forright turns onto La Grange Road while LaGrange Road traffic is turning left ontoOgden [Avenue], and that back-up willease up two-fold.
Differing visions for Glen EllynFollowing the vote against the pool
debt, Glen Ellyn Park District commission-er Jay Kinzler articulated most voters’sentiment: We don’t want a massive,ever-expanding Park District empire; wewant lower taxes. President Gary Mayo’sresponse in his Dec. 16, 2014, speech?Let’s not lower taxes. Mayo disparagedtaxpayers by saying the board has “vi-sion” – and implying the rest of us lack it,and we’d all be living a shabby lifestyle ifit weren’t for the board’s vision. Sadly, hefails to see we do have a vision: a simplerpark district whose primary focus is main-taining green open space – parks! Ourvision is of a brighter future for all, withless debt, less taxes and more freedom toimprove our lives with our own money.
Big government coming toGlen Ellyn with bag restrictions?The Environmental Commission request-
ed comments to a draft ordinance, andI ask the community to consider thesethoughts: What is the negative impact toGlen Ellyn by paper and plastic single usebags? By restricting their use, what doesour village gain? …Why don’t [the environ-mental commissioners] start a “trend” toshop with their recyclable bags withoutany local government regulation and
taxation? … I am outraged that this topic isbeing considered as an ordinance in GlenEllyn. Some businesses advertise withtheir packaging, and this type of ordinancewill surely impact their success. Why pun-ish the consumers with this new tax? I leftthe city of Chicago for Glen Ellyn to live ina community that appreciated small townattributes, but this ordinance remindsme eerily of city of Chicago governmentoverreach. I am saddened and disappoint-ed that this type of regulation and taxationis now coming soon to Glen Ellyn.
Thinking of Paula Morgan’s familyRegarding the July 2012 fire that killed

Public, legislators denounceCollege of DuPage presidentBreuder’s $760,000 buyout
By EVAN [email protected]
GLEN ELLYN – An estimated400 members of the public attendedWednesday’s special College of DuPageBoard of Trustees meet-ing to air their griev-ances about the school’spresident’s severancepayment.
The board voted – forthe second time – to ap-prove the $762,000 in sev-erance for college Pres-ident Robert Breuder’sretirement. Trustees voted 6-1 in favorof the buyout, with Vice ChairwomanKathy Hamilton as the lone dissenter.
Wednesday’s meeting was the board’ssecond in less than a week to discuss theretirement package, and was called toclarify a procedural motion regardingwhether the board should have formallyclosed debate before voting on the sev-erance during the first meeting Jan. 22.
In the end, the vote remained thesame, with trustees approving an ad-dendum to Breuder’s contract allow-ing him to retire March 31, 2016 – threeyears earlier than anticipated.
In addition, Breuder will receivea $762,867.77 lump-sum payment, ac-cording to the board-approved contractprovisions. The college also will nameits new Homeland Security EducationCenter after him.
Trustees indicated their hands weretied on the buyout because of how pre-vious boards had structured Breuder’scontract.
“In an ideal world, we wouldn’thave severance packages,” TrusteeKim Savage said. “But we do have acontract that, if we end the contract, weowe him the balance of the contract.”
Chairwoman Erin Birt said theboard quantified 1½ years of Breuder’ssalary and benefits when coming to anagreement on the amount of money forthe severance pay.
“I think every single person aroundthis table worked very hard at this,”Birt said.
That didn’t stop the public from at-tending in droves to voice their disap-proval. In all, about 400 people came,with 75 speaking at a public commentsession that ran more than three hours.
Adam Andrzejewski, founder of El-mhurst-based watchdog group For TheGood of Illinois, which has been work-ing to make details of Breuder’s contractpublic, said the board violated state lawby not providing contract specifics to
taxpayers prior to voting Jan. 22.“This board admits that it secret-
ly negotiated Dr. Breuder’s severanceagreement for nine months, then didn’trecite the details into the record beforelast Thursday’s public vote,” he said.“That violated the Open Meetings Act.”
Andrzejewski and Edgar CountyWatchdogs have filed suit against thecollege for the alleged violation.
DuPage County resident RichardSkoda echoed the statements of manythat the public had lost respect for theboard’s trustees.
RobertBreuder
Faculty responds
College of DuPage Faculty AssociationPresident Glenn Hansen said Mondaythere are “several concerns” about thebuyout the Board of Trustees acceptedfor Breuder.“No one else at the college gets an
incentive to retire early,” said Hansen,who is a photography professor.The amount of money Breuder will
make between his $762,000 severancepayment and his salary between nowand his retirement is close to $1.3 million.That money, Hansen said, could be usedto fund 91 two-year, full-ride scholar-ships.“We would prefer to see him gone
now,” Hansen said. “If you’re buying himout, he’s leaving the college this January.”The Faculty Association voted no confi-
dence in Breuder in September and sincethen have not heard from any trusteesabout the vote.Part of Breuder’s buyout allows him
to assist in the search for the next pres-ident, which Hansen said is particularlytroubling.“In light of our vote of no confidence,
we see that as problematic,” he said.

14 Pace seeks funding for $2.3 billion projectSUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA
Pace is banking on a long shot tofind a shortcut to funding a two-steptransportation plan that would im-prove bus service to the suburbs in asix-county area.
Pace has submitted a $2.3 billionplan to the U.S. Department of Trans-portation for review through theProjects of National and Regional Im-portance program with the hope itsplan will be picked for funding fromnumerous other plans submitted fromtransportation agencies around thecountry.
The Rapid Transit Network has twocomponents: The Arterial Bus RapidTransit System would add routes andenhanced stations, run on an expressbasis with less frequent stops and therenovation of Pulse stations would pro-vide easier access to buses and havean improved waiting environment, aswell as electrical signage indicatingbus arrival times.
The Suburban Expressway Servicewould essentially expand the serviceinitiated in 2011 on Interstate 55 wherebuses ride on expressway shoulders tothe far west suburbs and back to suchdestinations as the U of I campus in
Chicago and Union Station.To support the express service,
commuter lots were built in Boling-brook, Burr Ridge, Plainfield and Ro-meoville.
Under Pace’s submitted proposal,Pace spokesman Patrick Wilmot said
the expressway service would grow toinclude highway and tollways in sixcounties, including Cook, DuPage,Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will.
“A lot of this is aimed at trying to re-duce travel times,” Wilmot said. “Bus-es will be able to travel along these cor-
ridors more quickly.”The $2.3 billion cost for the plan in-
cludes purchasing additional buses,the construction of three garage facil-ities and technology that allows busesto communicate with traffic signals.
Pace has a pilot program with IDOTin Chicago’s south suburbs where bus-es communicate with traffic signals –much in the same way fire trucks andemergency vehicles can – to allow bus-es to pass through traffic signals if abus is running late or to clear a busfrom a busy intersection after passen-gers disembark.
“But this is a lower level of priori-ty,” Wilmot said. “Our system sendsa request to the signal. It will onlychange if it doesn’t negatively impactthe traffic flow on the cross street. “
However, submitting the applica-tion does not necessarily mean thefunding is a done deal.
“We realize this is a very ambitiousplan, but this application process isan opportunity to fast track our devel-opment of this network versus usingsmaller grant opportunities and ourown funding,” Wilmot said. “We in-tend to build this network over time.But this program can be an opportuni-ty to do it much more quickly.”

“We should not be askingDr. Breuder to resign,” hesaid. “We should be askingthem to resign.”
Mary Kranz, a formertrustee at the college whoserved from 1995 to 2001, urgedthe board not to vote for theseverance pay because of whatit would do to the community.
“The taxpayers of DuPageCounty cannot afford this taxburden,” she said.
West Chicago resident Lou-ise Handel, who is an alumnaof the college, said she didn’tlike that the trustees shiftedthe blame.
“I’m kind of offended and in-sulted when I hear board mem-bers blame previous boards,”she said. “You don’t just get tosay, ‘Pass, that wasn’t me.’”
State legislators even tooktime to address the trustees.Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton,said the board politiciansin Springfield already aretalking about what’s going on
at the college.“What you have done as a
board contributes to the badreputation Illinois has withcorruption,” she said.
Late last week, Ives an-nounced she would ask thestate Auditor General to auditthe state funding the college re-ceived during the past three fis-cal years. She said she wouldn’thesitate pulling $762,000 fromthe college’s state funding as aresult of Breuder’s buyout.
“I went out on a limb. I de-fended the College of DuPagein the spring session,” Ivessaid. “Now how can I go backand tell those people we needmore money from the state?”
Rep. Peter Breen, R-Lom-bard, also criticized the boardfor the amount of the sever-ance payment.
“This is outrageous. Thereis no precedent for this in acommunity college setting inIllinois,” Breen said. “I hateto say this, but this board hasbetrayed the trust of this com-munity.”
Breuder refused to com-ment on his retirement and theproceedings surrounding it.
Several members of thepublic were upset Breuderwould be the Homeland Secu-rity Education Center’s name-sake, a decision the board vot-ed in favor of in May 2013.
Area residents urged theboard to reconsider and nameit after Staff Sgt. Robert Miller,a Wheaton resident who foughtin Afghanistan and died pro-tecting his fellow soldiers. Hereceived the Medal of Honor in2008.
Kirk Allen, of Edgar CountyWatchdogs, said Miller wouldbe a much more appropriatechoice because he “paid the ulti-mate sacrifice for our freedom.”

County to launch volunteer awareness effort via social mediaBy NATHAN LURZ
DuPage County is hoping the powerof the hashtag – and social media ingeneral – will help connect residents tolocal volunteer opportunities.
The county officially launchedServe DuPage 2015, an outreach cam-paign to promote civic engagement,Jan. 19 on Martin Luther King Jr. Dayafter the County Board announcedthe start date during a Jan. 13 meet-ing.
The effort is part of the IllinoiswideYear of the Volunteer initiative, anundertaking spearheaded by the statelegislature.
“The Year of the Volunteer is a hugeopportunity to create awareness about... the need for volunteers so that thenonprofits can actually execute ontheir missions, provide the essentialprograms or services that they offerthe residents of DuPage County,” Giv-ing DuPage Executive Director ShefaliTrivedi said.
The initiative will be carried outby county outreach branch Giving Du-
Page, which helps nonprofits garnerfunds, support and volunteers.
Each month, the campaign willspotlight a different service area and
encourage elected officials, churches,businesses and residents to post pic-tures of themselves volunteering on so-cial media using the hashtag #Giving-DuPage.
Trivedi said raising awarenessabout what nonprofits offer and howto volunteer is “90 percent of the bat-tle”, and having support from thecounty, state and DuPage RegionalOffice of Education, which is workingto raise awareness among schools,could go a long way toward uppingthe level of commitment across thecounty.
She said her organization plansto use its connections to popularize#GivingDuPage, in part by providingsample media kits for groups on itswebsite.
County board member Bob Lars-
en said the effort’s organizers plan tomeet with the DuPage Mayors & Man-agers Conference.
“DuPage County is a remarkablecommunity,” he said. “The ability toput your time to an organization andput your skills to bear is incrediblyvaluable, and we have so many incred-ible people in this county who want todo that.”
By getting people involved, thecounty and its nonprofits can betterleverage their ability to help the com-munity.
Since September, Giving DuPagehas generated nearly 300 volunteerreferrals through its website, GivingDuPage Board President Paul Feithsaid, and it hopes to hit more than 1,000by the end of 2015.
“It’s why we’re on this Earth, it’swhy I ran for office, I certainly didn’tdo the job for money,” Larsen said. “Ido it because I believe in service. ... Thebeauty of it is, at the end of the day ev-erything that I’ve done volunteeringand serving has been more beneficialto me than people around me. It’s mademe a better person.”

GLEN ELLYN – Newcomera toda madre is a testamentto the importance of culinarybalance. The Mexican eatery,transplanted to Glen Ellyn byGeneva’s Bien Trucha, openedlate in 2014, with equal partssophistication and comfort.
Nestled in the heart ofdowntown, the small-towncharm of the restaurant’s sur-roundings provides a pleasantcontrast to its elegant, urbaninterior.
Behind the bar is anexposed brick wall boasting avast array of tequila. The vin-tage molding on the ceiling isglazed an elegant white. Mod-ern blue tiles cover the floorof the bar, while the diningroom is softened by hardwoodand low lighting that bathesan abstract floral mural’sorganic tones. The aesthetic iscontemporary with a hint ofnostalgia.
Even after 9 p.m., the placewas packed, buzzing with up-beat Friday night chatter.
Several parties minglednear the bar, hoping to score atable. Fortunately, my diningcompanion and I had a reser-vation. We were seated, anda bowl of thick tortilla chipsappeared, accompanied bysmoky refried beans.
The menu features a vari-ety of items, from appetizersto full plates, all of which aremeant to be shared. We beganwith an appetizer of tostada deceviche topped with frizzledleeks. Spotlighting tilapiaand apple, it was aggressivelybright and acidic – an energiz-ing start to the meal.
Warm tacos pescado fol-lowed, the mild fish accentedwith creamy red cabbageslaw. We couldn’t limit our-selves to just one style of taco,and ordered the chilango, aswell. The quartet provided apleasing, adventurous medleyof textures, from the velvetysalsa verde cruda to the ten-der skirt steak to chicharronfor engaging crunch.
We also opted for the frijo-les borrachos – drunken beanswith pork belly, pico de galloand Mexican beer – which
proved to be a side dish withthe charisma of an entree.
With several handcraftedcocktails to choose from, mycompanion began with theburro en primavera, whichincluded lime, ginger beer,mint, mezcal and charredlime. It received high praise,as did his second drink, the
el pastor – a spicy temptationwith grilled pineapple, chipot-le adobo, chile ancho liqueur,tequila, lime and mezcalessence.
As the designated driver,I stuck with the nonalcoholiclimonada, which was sweetand refreshing.
Throughout the evening,the staff was kind, attentiveand unintrusive – but a todamadre’s service really shoneduring dessert, when the flan
we had hoped to order wassold out, and the restaurantinstead offered us a compli-mentary Carlota.
When the plate arrived, wewere glad to have taken themup on it. The blend of cookies,tequila crema and key limecurd was pure serenity, andpaired deliciously with theamericano I ordered – a strongcup of coffee with a delicatecocoa finish.
Each dish was presented
with polish and finesse, everybite also containing the reas-suring heartiness of a home-cooked meal that no amountof flash can fake. Embracingthe best of both worlds, a todamadre strikes the perfectbalance.

A win and a loss
By JASON [email protected]
ELMHURST – Matt Rafferty didn’thave a Superman cape tucked underhis Hinsdale Central basketball uni-form.
It would have been fitting if he had.Rafferty injured his right hand with
about three minutes to play in thethird quarter of a Jan. 23 game againstYork, but the senior still converted athree-point play with 23.6 seconds leftin the game to lead the Red Devils to a50-48 win.
“He showed a lot of grit and anunbelievable amount of toughness toplay through that injury,” said Centralhead coach Nick Latorre, who initiallybelieved Rafferty broke a bone in hishand.
That diagnosis was confirmed afterRafferty visited the doctor on Mon-day. The Red Devils will now have toregroup without the services of theirstandout post player.
“He’s going to be out a significantamount of time,” Latorre said. “Goingforward we’re going to prepare theboys like we always do. Guys will haveto take on slightly different roles. We’llall have to work a little harder and exe-cute a little better.”
Even dealing with the injury againstYork, which prevented him from play-ing the following day against St. Jo-seph, Rafferty was productive. He putin a layup on a Jordan Bradshaw feedwith 1:16 left in the third and blocked ashot with his right hand in the waningseconds of the frame.
After missing three consecutivefree throws, Rafferty hit the second of apair with 3:10 to play before convertingthe three-point play to seal the win. Hescored eight points and blocked a pairof shots after the injury.
“You could really see it on the freethrows,” Latorre said. “He’s shootingnearly 80 percent from the free throwline this year and he missed two front-ends, but he really toughed it out downthe stretch.”
The late heroics came after Cen-tral saw York mount a big comeback.The Dukes nearly went the entire firstquarter without scoring a basket be-
fore a 3-pointer with 1.6 seconds left
in the frame made it a 16-5 game. The
Dukes went on a 17-4 run over the final
5:53 of the first half to get within 25-24
at intermission.
Jayvon Thomas tied the game at
44-44 with a long jumper, then put
the Dukes ahead 46-44 with a driving
layup with 3:23 to go. Another layup
by Thomas, who finished with a
game-high 19 points, put York ahead
48-45 with 1:42 left before George Ki-
ernan’s turn around jumper and Raf-
ferty’s three-point play closed out the
game.
“I think we did a good job keeping
our composure the whole game. We
never really tried to do too much, we
just stayed within ourselves,” Central
point guard Jordan Bradshaw said.
“They hit a couple tough shots down
the stretch, but our guys really showed
a lot of heart and a lot of toughness to
get the W.
“A win is a win. No matter how hard
or how ugly it is, it feels good to get one
on the road in conference.”
The victory lifted Central’s record
to 6-0 in the West Suburban Silver con-
ference. The Red Devils are still lead-
ing the Silver in their quest for a third
straight conference title.
The next night, the Red Devils
topped St. Joseph 72-69 behind a ca-
reer-high 30 points from Kiernan. Cen-
tral improved to 17-2 on the season.
Bradshaw scored 15 and Peter Blust
had 10.

Red Devils’ Rush races to school scoring recordBy MATT LE CREN
HINSDALE – When Toni Koken-is graduated from Hinsdale Centralin 2010 as the school’s career scoringleader, many people thought her re-cord of 2,031 points would stand for along time.
They were wrong.Gabrielle Rush surpassed the mark
Jan. 19 when she made two free throwsagainst Rockford Boylan.
The Princeton recruit, who nowhas 2,129 points, set the record in just98 games, while Kokenis played 128games.
“It’s just so crazy,” Rush said.“Growing up I would go to all the sum-mer camps with Toni Kokenis beingthe coach. She had that status that wasjust so cool.
“[Former Central star] MorganKasperek was an [assistant] coachhere for a while so I always aspiredto be somebody that could play atan Iowa or Stanford like they did. Ithink it’s so cool to even be consid-
ered to be on the same list as theselegendary players and continuingthe tradition that Hinsdale Centralhas.”
Rush, a 5-foot-10 guard, has a lot incommon with Kokenis, who played atStanford. Both are bright students andhumble stars who bring a lot to the pro-gram.
“She’s a special player and a greatkid,” Hinsdale Central coach TomMcKenna said. “We’re pretty youngoutside of her and she’s been a greatleader for the young kids.
“That sounds like a cliché out of amovie, but she’s the real deal.”
Rush, a four-year starter, leads the16-5 Red Devils in scoring (25.2 pointsper game), rebounds (12.0 per game)
and assists (4.0). For her career, she isaveraging 20.9 points per game.
This is the fifth consecutive seasona Rush has led the Red Devils in scor-ing.
Her sister, Christine, did so in 2010-11 and is finishing her college career atBrown this winter.
Rush is the fourth of five basket-ball-playing siblings. Sister Danielle,25, and brother Nick, 23, played at Naz-areth while another brother, Matthew,is in eighth grade.
While Rush expects her scoring re-cord will be broken sooner rather thanlater, McKenna doesn’t think he’ll bearound to see it.
“She’s a once-in-a-lifetime player,”McKenna said. “I don’t ever expect tobe lucky enough to have someone likethat again.
“[The Rush sisters] are wonderfulkids. My wife always says they’re sopoised it’s unbelievable. [When Ga-brielle] broke the record it gave megoose bumps because I know howimportant Kokenis was to this pro-gram.”

Kiera JamesSchool: Downers Grove South
Class: SophomorePosition: Forward
Impact: Downers Grove South headcoach Lyndsie Long does not mincewords when speaking about KieraJames. “[She is a] very special athletictalent that doesn’t come around often,”Long said. Although athleticism doesn’talways translate to the court, James hasgreatly improved her overall game thisseason and is the Mustangs third-lead-ing scorer with 8.7 points per game andis the team leader in rebounds, averag-ing more than 9.5 boards per game.
Payton KatichSchool: Hinsdale Central
Class: SeniorPosition: GuardImpact: Katich has taken on a largerrole for the Red Devils this season asthe team’s point guard and ranks thirdon the team with a 6.5 points per gameaverage and is nearly automatic atthe free-throw line, according to headcoach Tom McKenna. “Her improve-ment has been phenomenal,” McKennasaid. “She provides offensive produc-tion, and it’s nice to have that scoringability. Whatever we ask her to workon, she works on.”
Gennifer SimpsonSchool: Hinsdale SouthClass: SeniorPosition: GuardImpact: First-year head coach BrettLove has Hinsdale South playing a lit-tle different style of offense from yearspast, and Simpson is the one guidingthat offense. In addition to being a fa-cilitator for her teammates, she also isa scoring threat and is second on theteam with a 9.8 points per game aver-age. “For us, she can spot up and shoot,handle the ball a little bit,” Love said.“More often than not she’s taking theshots we need her to take and knocking
them down.”

DARIEN – Juwan Edmond spokeabout his match against HinsdaleSouth’s Ernest Inglam as if it was adrag-out affair.
Actually, the Hinsdale Central se-nior won by fall just 1:05 into the matchat 152 pounds as the Red Devils defeat-ed the Hornets 55-21.
“I had never wrestled him before,so I took a couple not-too-intelligentshots,” Edmond said. “I was trying totest his strengths a little bit and then Istarted to work my offense a lot bettertoward the end of the match.”
Edmond’s showing in one of hisfinal matches before the postseason
(Central had dual meets scheduled for
Wednesday and Thursday) indicated
he is on the right path as he sets his
sights on his first state title.
“I’m feeling good,” Edmond said.
“My offense is coming along well and I
have very few injuries. Right now, I’m
as healthy as I can be at this point.”
Edmond’s was among several bigvictories for the Red Devils on Tuesday.
Matt Price (120 pounds), Liam Dru-ry (126), Peter Pigatti (170), Josh Del Ro-sario Rivera (182) and Matt Allen (285)all won by fall. Price and Allen neededjust more than a minute to earn theirpins, and James Manikas (138) and
Luke Letizia won with technical falls.The Hornets enjoyed decisive wins
in their four match victories.Robby Regan (195) and Josh King
(220) pinned their opponents, DanishQureshi (120) won by technical fall andNick Carlson (145) had a 10-0 major de-cision. The Hornets are on hiatus untilthe Morton regional tournament Feb.7, but those four wins are a confidenceboost for some of South’s best wres-tlers.
“Nick Carlson is wrestling wellright now,” South head coach KevinFormanski said. “He has been all year,but he’s looking to start peaking head-ing to the postseason. Same with Rob-by at 195 and Josh at 220, and Danish is
coming around good, too.”
