By Seth Hancock The Village Board of Trustees was updated on Bartlett’s finances at its meeting on Tuesday, July 17. Todd Dowden, finance director, gave the first treasurer’s report for the new fiscal year as of May 2018. “We’re still working on wrapping up our last fiscal year,” Dowden said. “Our auditors have been coming out the last week of July, so these are pre- liminary numbers.” Total revenues to the village were at $4 million and total expenditures $2.8 million. The revenue side represents 4.3 percent of a budgeted $93 million whereas at the same time last year they were at 3 percent of the previous budget, and expenditures were at 2.6 percent of a budgeted $104.5 million while last year they were at 2.4 per- cent at the same time. The largest category, the general fund, showed $1.6 million in revenues (7.3 percent of $22.3 million budgeted) and $1.6 million in expenditures (6.7 percent of $24 million budgeted). The largest major revenue category for the first report of the fiscal year was water charges which brought in $770,960 representing 7.8 percent of a budgeted $9.9 million. The remaining 11 categories ranged from $565,171 in income taxes to $11,223 in electric util- ity taxes. The golf fund came in with a net in- come of $126,534 ($260,842 in rev- enues, $134,308 in expenditures) while the village budgeted a net in- come of $50,063 for the new fiscal year. Dowden also gave an update on the motor fuel tax (MFT) revenues for the month of April and sales tax revenues for the month of March. Regarding the sales tax piece, Dow- den said: “For the month of March, we received $167,000 which was $7,900 over the same month last year. We should end up just over our budget of $2.4 million for the year, so we’re look- ing on track for the sales tax.” Dowden said that regarding the MFT the village “received $94,336 which was just up a little over $4,000” from the same time last year. Dowden added the MFT did finish “slightly under budget” by $5,560. Volume 28 Number 15 75 cents August 22, 2018 The Examiner Lofty goals set for Bartlett football See ............

(Examiner photo by Juli Schatz) Parks website redesign given initial approval By Joe Hyland At its Tuesday, Aug. 14 committee workshop meeting, the Park District Board of Commissioners gave its unanimous approval to a redesign of the district’s website. Superintendent of Recreation Kim- berly Dasbach noted in a written re- port that the district had allocated $30,000 for this purpose in its Fiscal Year 2018-2019 budget. She said that the district had sent out a request for proposals in July and had received a total of four replies that were deemed to meet the district’s needs with re- spect to the website. There was an extremely wide range in costs between the vendors who were considered for the project. Esti- mates ranged from $119,685 from Ameex to $18,900 from Weblinx, Inc. “We’ve worked with Weblinx Incor- porated over the years,” said Com- missioner Diana Gunsteen, reading from Dasbach’s report. The report also noted that Weblinx had done the work on developing the district’s current website as well as the reconfiguration work on its microsites and hosting. It said that the compa- ny’s latest sites have what it termed “a modern and clean look that matches our future vision, as well as the en- hanced SEO (search engine optimiza- tion) functions and analytics.” The report said that the redesign will be focused on a mobile first approach that will be geared largely towards the small screen views that users of tablets and smartphones need. There is cur- rently no timeline set for the develop- ment process and the date the new site would go live has not yet been deter- mined. The proposal will still need final ap- proval by the full board at its regular monthly meeting, which is set for Tuesday, Aug. 28. Park Board updated on Life Center closure By Joe Hyland At the Park District Board of Com- missioners’ Tuesday, Aug. 14 commit- tee workshop meeting, Director of Special Facilities Lynsey Heathcote re- ported on the results of the Life Cen- ter’s annual maintenance shut down. The center was closed between Mon- day, July 30 and Friday, Aug. 3 for the process. “Just a real thorough cleaning of the whole facility,” said Heathcote. In addition to the cleaning, the facili- ty was painted and reorganized. Heathcote said that staff also took the opportunity to install a number of pieces of new equipment that were purchased to replace some older gear. “It’s getting a lot of use, a lot of atten- tion already,” Heathcote said. Heathcote said that there are still three pieces of equipment that have yet to be delivered and installed. She said that the installation should be completed by the end of August. Heathcoate also noted, in a written report, that staff had received a num- ber of compliments on the cleaning and the new equipment. In particular, the Hoist Motion Cage workout ma- chine has been very well-received. The report noted that next on the agenda is the annual maintenance shut-down for Splash Central. This will take place between Monday, Aug. 20 and Friday, Aug. 31. The indoor pool will also be closed for cleaning and routine maintenance during the same time frame. Heathcote noted that members will be able to use the Park Place Fitness Center and Aquatic Center in Streamwood during the shut-down. “We have a kind of reciprocal arrangement with Streamwood where our members can use their facility and theirs can use ours (during shut- downs).” Heathcote said. Lions Day Dash events set for Sunday, Aug. 26 By Seth Hancock The Bartlett Lions Club will be host- ing its 14th annual Lions Day Dash this weekend. The 5K and 10K runs/walks will take place on Sunday, Aug. 26 starting at 8 a.m., and the start and end will be on East Railroad Av- enue according to the route map pro- vided to the Village Board of Trustees. The board approved the club’s pa- rade permit request at its meeting on July 17. From the Bartlett Lions Club website: “The Dash has become a neighbor- hood tradition. The race was previ- ously known as the Bartlett Lions La- bor Day Dash. It is now the Lions Dash. Races start and finish across from Bartlett Village Hall in the Town Center area and the course takes run- ners and walkers through the lovely, tree-lined streets of Bartlett. Funds raised are used by the Bartlett Lions for those in need in our community.” Carrie Sypherd, on behalf of the club, sent a letter to the village stating the Lions have “hired the DJ, ordered the medals and [T-shirts] and have the lia- bility waiver and amplifier permit.” In a memo to the village board Joey Dienberg, administrative intern, wrote: “The route for the race will re- main the same as last year and has been approved by the Bartlett Police Department. The Bartlett Lions Club will notify residents near the Town Center of the race as they have done in the past.” Village Board reviews first fiscal year financials

On July 6, Campton Hills police andKane County Sheriff’s deputies weredispatched to 41W032 Palomino Drivein Campton Hills for a report of a fe-male subject found deceased insidethe residence.With the assistance of Campton Hills
police members of the Kane CountyHeroin Initiative Task Force began toinvestigate the incident. Based on theresults of that investigation, it was de-termined that the female, KatherineGehlharr, 30, of Campton Hills, diedas a result of an overdose of heroinand fentanyl.
On Friday, Aug. 17, Joseph Pryor, 41,of 2017 Westridge Blvd, Bartlett, wascharged with one count of drug in-duced homicide. It is alleged that Pryorprovided the drugs to the deceased.Pryor was already in custody at theKane County Adult Corrections Centerdue to a prior narcotics related arrest.

I t’s been said that love is blind butone might wonder about thatphrase. There are many phrases
similar to this one and they can allmean something different to each per-son. For instance, there are coupleswho are married or dating and arevery different from one another. Mostpeople who are looking for a mateseem to first seek outside appeal suchas good looks. We have all seen cou-ples who couldn’t possibly belong to-gether because he may be very hand-some and she might be considered un-attractive to our eyes, yet, to him she isthe most beautiful woman on theplanet. The same goes for him wherehe may not have obvious good looksbut she thinks he is the next best thingto Brat Pitt. Take two people who saw each other
every day and eventually ended uptogether. Tory was employed by acouple as a nanny and worked veryhard taking care of the couple’s threechildren. Tory was just a tiny woman,barely four feet tall. She was consid-ered by many as unattractive andsome even referred to her as down-right ugly; however, there were sever-al stores Tory had to pass on the wayto the grocery store where there was asale on fresh chicken and the familywanted her to pick some up. On thosedays Tory would take the same routeleaving the home where she stayedand worked and walked to town forthat chicken.
Every day the store owner, a very at-tractive young man, watched as Torywalked by carrying a chicken in herbasket and greeted her as she passed.Soon they started talking for a brieftime and little by little the man namedOlaf, a gentle man started askingquestions as to where she was goingto take the chicken and why shewould go to the store every day. Torywas very shy but explained that thepeople she worked for asked her topick up the chicken and freeze it. Thiswent on for a long time and finallyOlaf felt so sorry for the girl he askedif he could give her a ride to and fromthe store. Tory thanked the nice manand told him she didn’t mind walk-ing.
They continued to speak whenevershe walked by and Olaf would standby the door of his store waiting forher. Olaf had a girl he had been datingfor about three years and Sarah wasreally beautiful. Everyone envied Olaffor his excellent taste. One might won-der why Olaf would be so attracted toa woman that people considered unat-tractive and men never asked out ondates, but this handsome man whonot only would be able to ask out anygirl he wanted and was also a veryrich man because his family ownedseveral stores, was drawn to Tory.
One day Olaf decided to ask if hecould take Tory on a date for dinner.Tory was surprised but acceptedOlaf’s offer. Within months the twofell deeply in love and married in avery romantic setting. Olaf’s parentscouldn’t understand why their hand-some son would dump his formergirlfriend Sarah for an unattractivecreature, as they called her, but therewas nothing they could say to changetheir son’s mind. Years later Olaf andTory had three beautiful children thatwere asked to pose for a magazinewhile on a trip to Portugal. Yes, thecouple had three gorgeous girls withhair like angels and eyes like deepblue water.Society is full of images in magazines
and on the movie screen that seem toset the standard for what makes a per-son attractive. A friend of mine doesnot find Brad Pitt attractive becauseshe prefers men with more ruggedlooks while another friend prefersolder men with salt and pepper hair.It is said that beauty is in the eyes of
the beholder which is true, but oncethe eyes notice someone it is the heartthat finds true beauty and love.

U-46 board responds tomore reports of bullying By Seth Hancock
Is there a need for more oversight onwhat is occurring at School District U-46 schools and how administratorshandle incidents?
Board member Jeanette Ward askedif board members were able to go todistrict schools and observe at a Boardof Education meeting on Monday,Aug. 6.U-46 CEO Tony Sanders said: “We’ve
not had a protocol specifically forboard members just to show up toschools and observe unannounced,but we have had opportunities forboard members to visit schools.”Ward’s question stemmed from pub-
lic comments made that evening byparents of Wayne Elementary Schoolstudents as well as a grandparent of abullied student that went unad-dressed. Ward also noted that earlierthis year, several parents of BartlettElementary School students ad-dressed similar concerns to theboard.
The Wayne parents described howtheir son, a kindergartner at the time,was punched, kicked and choked atrecess but when they tried to addresstheir concerns they were dismissedand handled inappropriately. Theysaid their request this year to havetheir children attend Bartlett’sSycamore Trails Elementary School,which they said was closer to theirhome, was denied.
The mother of the boy said: “Con-trary to the U-46 mission, Wayne wasnot a great place for my son tolearn.”The boy’s father said the reason giv-
en to them for not allowing the trans-fer to Sycamore Trails was becausehis “son was not at Wayne last year,”but he noted they pulled their sonfrom Wayne to attend private schoolbecause of the district’s lack of re-sponse.The grandfather said the district’s re-
sponse was to use “bullying tactics”itself saying “ignoring a constituent’srequest is a subtle and maybe not sosubtle way of showing who is boss,the imbalance of power tactic oftenused by a bully.” He added: “Ofcourse it’s quite possible this lack ofresponse was not intentional and was
just an oversight or a mistake or a lackof understanding the serious nature ofthe request, in other words, incompe-tence.”
Ward said she would like to observesome of the elementary schools dur-ing recess and requested that a policybe drafted, if necessary, to allow suchobservations from board members.
Miguel Rodriguez, chief legal officer,said: “There is a policy that does men-tion board members visiting schools,but I would imagine the board wouldhave to set some parameters to figureout what the purpose of the visitmight be.”
The board’s policy 2.020 does list“Visiting the District’s schools” as oneof the board member’s powers andduties, but no guidelines for visits isincluded.
Board member Sue Kerr said she’svisited some schools in the past andsaid “as a courtesy to our principalsand our teachers, I think we should atleast alert people that we’ll be comingbecause quite often they want to treatboard members well.”
Ward responded: “I’m not suggest-ing showing up unannounced. I justwould like to visit some of theseschools where we’ve heard thesekinds of reports. It doesn’t have to beunannounced.”
Donna Smith, the board’s president,said she didn’t think a policy wouldneed to be drafted and that such visitsare allowed now, and Ward respond-ed: “Ok, I’ll start setting up some ap-pointments.”
Kerr said that she’s had principalscontact her to let her know she couldcall them to set up visits to whichWard asked if they should go directlyto principals to make requests?Sanders said: “Typically the requestwill go through my office and we’ll dothe alert for you.”
Board member Phil Costello askedfor clarification to make sure no policywas needed and Ward was contentwith the response. Ward said: “That’sfine with me. I have no problem withproviding advanced notice.”
Kerr said she would like to attendand observe some schools as well be-cause she’s “curious about some of theprograms.”

Bartlett soccer maintainshigh hopes for new seasonBy Seth Hancock
The Bartlett soccer team has highhopes for the 2018 season as theirschedule kicks off this week.
The Hawks were 5-14-4 overall lastyear and 0-5 in the Upstate Eight Con-ference Valley Division. This year, theUEC will be newly aligned with 10 to-tal teams and no divisions with thedeparture of four teams and additionof one, Glenbard South.
There have been struggles for ayoung Bartlett squad since the pro-gram’s first state trip in 2015 when itfinished 17-9-2. The Hawks went 1-14-4 the following year before the 5-14-4campaign in Bartlett coach VictorMarquez’s first season at the helm.
With the young squad gaining valu-able experience the past two seasons,Marquez said the goals are to win theUEC title and making a deep postsea-son run.
Marquez said he wants to “take theteam one step at a time, game bygame, to first win the conference andthen move into regionals and continueto approach it one game at a time inorder to advance to sectionals, super-sectional and state.”The team’s strength will be “team co-
hesiveness” according to Marquez asthe Hawks have several strong return-ers.
Some key returners include seniorsAustin Cichon (defender), KevinNava (defender) and Rudy Reyes (for-ward) as well as juniors Hernan Gar-cia (forward), Nicolas Gomez (mid-fielder) and Jeremy Taylor (goalkeep-er).Some newcomers include a Wheaton
North transfer, senior forward AndresNoguera, and an exchange studentfrom Morocco, junior forward AmineMedmoun. Another newcomer towatch will be junior defender EthanSproule.
“We want to continue to solidify ourdefensive game, put more high pres-sure on opponents and finish offen-sive plays with a shot on goal in orderto increase our scoring opportunitiesand transforming them into goals,”Marquez said.
The Hawks open the season with theprogram’s first two games at the newBartlett Activity Complex with a non-conference match against McHenryon Monday, Aug. 20 and an UEC con-test against Elgin on Wednesday, Aug.22.

District U-46 school yearoff to solid beginningBy Seth Hancock
The start of the 2018-19 school yearwas a success according to School Dis-trict U-46 officials.The Board of Education was given an
update on school readiness at its Aug.6 meeting, prior to the first day ofclasses on Wednesday, Aug. 15(preschool starts this week onWednesday, Aug.22), and again up-dated on Monday, Aug. 20 after class-es began.
U-46 CEO Tony Sanders said “over-all, it was a great first day back” andthe midweek start to classes providedan easier transition and it “works a lotbetter than starting on a Monday.”
Melanie Meidel, assistant superin-tendent of human resources, said thatclasses were fully staffed for the firstweek which she called a “miraculousevent.” She said there’s still ongoinghiring but with some long-term sub-stitutes classes are staffed.
There is still a need for 14 classroomteachers and 7.5 related service per-sonnel (social workers, guidancecouncilors, etc.) according to Meideland retirees have been called to tryand help fill some of the open posi-tions. She said that numbers are con-tinually monitored, and “we want tomake sure that students are in the seatbefore we commit to adding or de-creasing in a classroom.”
There’s also some open paraprofes-sional positions needing to be filled aswell as some bus drivers according toMeidel. Sanders said regarding busdrivers that they’re “getting harderand harder to fill as the economy’sturned around. It’s harder to competefor people.”
Board member John Deveroux asked
how the district stood in terms of hir-ing compared to prior years to whichMeidel said the district had been be-hind a week prior to the Aug. 6 meet-ing, but over that week they woundup ahead compared to previous years.
Josh Carpenter, assistant superin-tendent for teaching and learning,said there were four days of profes-sional development, two for elemen-tary teachers and two for secondary,held at Elgin Community Collegeleading up to the first day of class. Hesaid there was also a new teacher ori-entation held for “focusing on profes-sional relationships, planning andpreparation, professional responsibili-ties in the classroom environment.”
“The intention was to provide an in-troduction to U-46 to individualbuildings, to departments and pro-grams and to our staff,” Carpentersaid. “Our staff and new teachers willbe in contact throughout the year.”
Suzanne Johnson, deputy superin-tendent of instruction, said that over200 students received free health ex-ams through free clinics. She said bythe end of the first week of classesthere were fewer than 230 students ex-cluded across the district for not hav-ing the proper medical and immu-nization paperwork.Last year, the district following a first
day exclusion for students not immu-nized was a hot topic with both boardmembers Veronica Noland andJeanette Ward leading the way againstthe first day exclusion. Noland askedhow many students were excludedthis year from the first day, but John-son said she would have to get back to

The Board of Education in SchoolDistrict U-46 voted 7-0 on a resolutionapproving a surety bond of treasurerat its meeting on Monday, Aug. 6.
The district purchases the suretybond annually but this is the first timesuch a resolution has been brought tothe board, according to district offi-cials, during the board discussion.
Board member Jeanette Ward saidshe had not seen this before and askedfor an explanation of the surety bond.Jeff King, chief operating officer, said
that “by state law, the school districthas to bond the treasurer.” He said thebonds amount is determined by 25percent of the highest average fundbalance during the year.
“Historically, that has never come tothe school board,” King said. “It’s justa law, you have to buy the bond. Inthis particular instance, DuPageCounty contacted us about 10 daysago with a list of documents that theydemand we have which has neverhappened.”
Previously, the district has alwayssent copies of the bond to the threecounties (Cook, DuPage, Kane) in U-46’s boundaries to follow state law,but “in this case, (DuPage) wantedresolutions…. None of the counties re-quired it, or at least to our knowledge
they never have until now.”The surety bond was executed with
the Ohio Casualty Insurance Companyin early July, according to the resolu-tion, and King is listed at the principal.
Ward asked for a clarification on thepurpose of the bond and if it’s “like aninsurance policy in case we don’t payour bills?”
Dale Burnidge, director of financialoperations, said: “I don’t know that Iwould say it’s if we don’t pay the bills,it’s more to secure the cash of the fundbalance”
Ward asked: “It’s not that it’s issuingnew debt, it’s like an insurance policy?”
“It’s an insurance policy,” King said.“That’s exactly what it is.”Board member Phil Costello, who is a
public administrator for a park dis-trict, said “it’s similar” to an insurancepolicy but it’s “probably more of a let-ter of confidence.” He asked about thesurety bond’s cost to U-46?
King did not have the exact amountat the meeting and said he’d followup, but “I think this year’s was justover $50,000.”
The board also approved, by a 7-0vote, the Fiscal Year 2019 NorthernKane County Regional Vocational Sys-tem budget that evening. That budgetis in balance with $1.8 million in ex-penditures and revenues.
Amendment of minutesmarks Fire Dist. meetingBy Joe Hyland
Approval of meeting minutes formost governmental bodies is usuallya fairly mundane task. Any modifica-tions are usually in the realm of whatamounts to housekeeping such as thespelling of a name, or the correctionof a date or time. Such was not thecase, however, during the Wednes-day, Aug. 15 meeting of the Fire Pro-tection District Board of Trusteeswhen Trustee Jay Langfelder re-quested that the open session min-utes from the Wednesday, July 18meeting be removed from the con-sent agenda.
At the July 18 meeting, following alengthy closed door session, the boardapproved 2.5 percent raises for fire-fighters, officers and administrativestaff. The closed door session appar-ently grew contentious as the sound ofraised voices could be heard duringthe closed-door session.
Following a return to open session,the vote was held on the raises.
Trustee Jay Langfelder voted againstthe 2.5 percent raises, saying each timethat he supported a 2 percent increase.Langfelder said that the minutes didnot reflect the fact that he was in favorof a 2 percent raise and thereforecould be interpreted to mean that heopposed any raise at all.
Board President Jim McCarthy saidthat the issue had been discussed inopen session, and he didn’t under-stand why Langfelder wanted toamend the minutes.
Fire district Attorney Joe Miller re-viewed the correction Langfelderwanted several times as Langfeldercontinually said his motion was for a 2percent increase rather than modify-ing the minutes to say that he was forthat increase. After some back andforth, the language for the amend-ment Langfelder was requesting wascleared up and passed via a 4-1 votewith McCarthy voting against.McCarthy said he voted against it be-
cause he felt the motion was not clear.
the board on that number.Johnson added that Chromebook
computers have been fully distributedat two high schools while distributionis still ongoing at the remaining threehigh schools, and the former technolo-gy at U-46 high schools is being redis-tributed to elementary and middleschools. She also said the district hasincreased the number of assistantprincipals at elementary and middleschools.
Jeff King, deputy superintendent ofoperations, said that summer con-struction was complete by the firstday of class when asked by boardmember Sue Kerr.
“We only have a 10-week windowduring the summer and there’s a lot ofthings that get done in that 10 weeks,”King said of the operations and main-
tenance work.King said that 145 lunch tables had
been distributed and over 5,000 desksand chairs delivered. He said a newfood center will allow for increasedoptions and higher quality food, and acall center has been added to thetransportation department to handlethe added call load for the start of theyear.The district has also stopped sending
cards with bus routes to parents butinstead provide the routes on InfiniteCampus this year King said.
The start of school also comes withsome sad kids as their summer vaca-tion ends. Ward said she volunteeredat Bartlett’s Hawk Hollow ElementarySchool on the first day and Kerr didthe same at Carol Stream’s SpringTrail Elementary School, both sayingthere were some tears from studentsbut overall it was a good experience.
Kerr said that she visited a few moreschools on the first day along with De-veroux and Sanders.

A View from the Cheap Seats
The ImperfectionsBy Rich Trzupek
Grim news out of Pennsylvania lastweek. Another apparent sexual abusescandal and apparent attempts to cov-er up the scandal by its hierarchyrocked the Catholic Church. Sadly, weseem to have seen a quantum increasein sexual abuse reports in recent years,from places of dubious moral charac-ter like Hollywood, to places that areheld to a much higher moral standard,like Rome.As a proud and practicing Catholic,
I am of course distressed by this lat-est example of my church’s humanfailings. At the same time, I under-stand that my church is a human in-stitution and, like all human institu-tions, is subject to the human fail-ings and the fragility of the peoplewho comprise its congregation andleadership.
I don’t expect my church to be per-fect. Indeed, if I believed it to be per-fect, then it would have no need of myactive participation. As it stands, I be-lieve that I am an active participant ina movement that – while flawed as isany human interaction – is over-whelmingly a force for good in a trou-bled world. I am an active Catholic be-cause I want to make my church bet-ter, not because I believe my church isa perfect hang out.
We apply the same principle tomany other parts of our lives. We af-filiate ourselves with a particular po-litical party, even though every partyhas suffered scandal and scoundrels.We love our families, though rare isthe family that does not include atleast one person whom causes us dis-tress or embarrassment. We possessthe ability, in other words, to see pastthe failings of the few – in any con-text – and appreciate the greatergood of the many. More importantly,we are able to comprehend thetremendous good that the forms thefoundation of the mission of themany in any institution dedicated toimproving and advancing ourshared existence.
More is expected of religion thanother institutions. I understand why.Religion attempts to answer themost profound questions of all: Whyare we here?; Where did we comefrom?; Where are we going? Thosequestions define existence. They area hell of a lot more significant in the
grand scheme of things thanwhether the political candidate youchose to support will raise or loweryour property taxes while demand-ing more or less accountability fromthe school district that receives thatincome.
I believe that it is precisely becausehumans, at their core, know that ques-tions of faith are so important andmeaningful that their natural instinctas time goes on is to dismiss all reli-gions as “superstition.” It’s far easierto wave off the profound questions aseither unimportant, or matters thatreason and science will eventuallysolve, than it is to consider the uncom-fortable possibility that a Power be-yond our understanding might be try-ing to send us a message.
In my considered opinion, theCatholic Church is, and always hasbeen, an overwhelming force for goodin a troubled world. In my opinion,the Catholic Church has been deliver-ing important messages about a por-tion of existence we mere mortalscan’t comprehend in this life. I deplorethe church’s mistakes, its unjust pros-ecutions and persecutions, and itsmisuse of the considerable power itwields and has wielded.But, for all of that, I would draw your
attention to one Catholic institutionthat my parish – Holy Family CatholicCommunity in Inverness – introducedto me this Sunday: “Nuestros Pe-queños Hermanos” – in English: “OurLittle Brothers and Sisters”, or“NPH.”
NPH was founded in 1954 by anAmerican priest by the name of FatherWilliam Wasson. Father Wasson tookin a poor, starving Mexican boy ac-cused of stealing from the poor box ina village church. He helped this im-provised child, and scores like him.The organization he founded, NPH,has provided succor and support toover 21,000 poor children in LatinAmerican nations who desperatelyneeded help.
I do not, for a moment, disparage ordiscount the pain and suffering of thechildren who were hurt and betrayedin Pennsylvania. We can, and wemust, do better. But – at the same time– I am immensely proud of the healingand inclusive work that Catholic or-ganizations like NPH and CatholicCharities are engaged in.Email: [email protected]

South Elgin volleyball has difficult act to followBy Seth Hancock
The South Elgin volleyball team,coming off its best season in programhistory, has high hopes for the 2018season.
The Storm went 26-8 overall and 4-1in the Upstate Eight Conference Val-ley Division, and captured its firstthree invite wins. The UEC will dropthe divisions this seasons now with 10teams after the departure of four pro-grams and addition of one, GlenbardSouth.
“The team’s goal in the conference isto play each team to the best of ourability,” said South Elgin coach JoniPlach. “Overall, our goals are to finishhigh at tournament play. Last year wewon first place in three of our fourvarsity tournaments.”
Plach added: “To be successful theteam needs to work on communica-tion, confidence in play and being ag-gressive.”
South Elgin did lose a lot of playersto graduation, including a pair of all-
conference honorees in Casie Swan-son and Libby Vedrine, but it doesalso return a lot of experience.Some key returners are four-year var-
sity starters seniors Hayley Fisher andMcKayla Geraghty as well as three-year varsity starter junior AngelinaNegron.
“Last year we had our best seasonin school history with 26 wins,”Plach said. “I graduated seven sen-iors, however a lot of the team thisyear was on that successful teamand contributed to the wins. Thegirls know what it takes to winmatches.”Plach added: “This year the team has
a lot of varsity experience. We haveseveral seniors that have been on var-sity since their freshmen year. Overallthe team is very mature in their vol-leyball play and there will be no sur-prises to them.”
The Storm open the season at homefor a nonconference match againstSchaumburg on Friday, Aug. 24.

Obituary
U-46 Board given annualsalary, benefits reportBy Seth Hancock
The Board of Education in SchoolDistrict U-46 was presented with anannual salary and benefits report fordistrict teachers and administrators atits meeting on Monday, Aug. 6.
The total salaries and benefits pre-sented equated to $216.3 millionwhich does not include all employeesas $367.4 million was budgeted in Fis-cal Year 2018. There are 888 employeesin the district receiving six-figures be-tween base salaries, benefits and re-tirement according to the data.
U-46 CEO Tony Sanders said thatstate law, under Public Act 097-0256,“requires school districts to report to(Illinois State Board of Education)…on or before October 1st of each yearthe base salary and benefits of all ad-ministrators and teachers employedby the district and to present to theboard at a school board meeting.”
No action from the board is neededaccording to Sanders.
Sanders also responded to a requestmade before the meeting by boardmember Jeanette Ward who asked forthe raw data in a spreadsheet ratherthan the PDF file that was presented.
“This is not data that we maintain ina spreadsheet in U-46,” Sanders said.“All this information is loaded fromour HR and fiscal officers into thestate’s employment information sys-tem, and they spit the report back tous in a PDF format.”
Ward replied: “Well, does the statehave it in a spreadsheet and then con-vert it to a PDF? It just looks like itcame from a spreadsheet. It looks likethe state had a spreadsheet and con-verted it to a PDF.”
Sanders said that “they probably do,but when you asked today we did nothave a copy of that today. We wouldhave to FOIA (Freedom of Informa-tion Act) that from the state.”
Board member Sue Kerr asked if thedata included additional funds such ascoaching stipends to which MelanieMeidel, assistant superintendent of hu-man resources, said: “No, they just re-quest the base and it also doesn’t includeevery employee. It’s a certain category.”
Meidel said it only includes certifiedadministrators, not classified adminis-
trators, as well as classroom teachers.She said staff such as social workers orguidance councilors are not included.Board member Phil Costello suggest-
ed in a recent blog post that while thedistrict is providing the bare mini-mum required under state law, thepublic deserves greater transparencyon how their tax dollars are spent withregards to salaries and benefits.
Costello wrote: “Personnel expensesrepresent $367M (70 [percent]) of our$518M budget. The $7.9M budget in-crease from fiscal 2017 and the fore-casted 2.4 [percent] annual increasesover the next three years in personnelexpenses have not registered a singlecomment from the Board or public.On our website, we only disclose theprior year’s teacher and administratorpersonnel expenses to meet publicstatutory mandates, however, the totalis only 57 [percent] of the budget.There is no explanation of the natureof the exclusions or scope of whatcomprises the balance of $156M gapfor public scrutiny.”
The board was also presented with,at the meeting, a quarterly financialreport for secondary schools for thefourth quarter. Dale Burnidge, direc-tor of financial operations, said thequarter ran from April 1 through June30 and it totaled $3.5 million, a$768,117 decrease from the previousquarter which he said is “pretty typi-cal for the fourth quarter of the year.”
“The balances have decreased formost of the schools and that’s mainlydue to the schools remitting instruc-tional material fees, athletic participa-tion fees and parking permit fees col-lected at the schools back to the dis-trict,” Burnidge said.
The report includes the fund bal-ances of various clubs at secondaryschools and Ward asked: “If a club ex-isted but now they have a zero bal-ance, will they not appear in this re-port? I noticed there’s one line item fordonations that’s zero.”Burnidge said: “If there was no activ-
ity, I don’t think it would be in here.”Ward further asked if a club exists
but has no fund balance that clubwould not be in the report andBurnidge said that was correct.
High hopes for new yearexist for Hawks volleyballBy Seth Hancock
The Bartlett volleyball team has highhopes for the 2018 season.
The Hawks finished last year 13-21overall, 1-4 in the Upstate Eight Con-ference Valley Division.
Aimee Riddle, Bartlett’s assistantvarsity coach and JV head coach, saidthe Hawks hope to be competitive in anewly aligned UEC which drops divi-sions this year with the departure offour teams and addition of one.
“With all the changes in the confer-ence this year, we hope to have a verystrong showing in the Upstate Eight,”Riddle said. “I feel like we have a verygood chance of finishing in the top ofthe conference, and I hope that we areable to advance further than before inthe regionals and sectionals play.”
The Hawks return three-year varsityoutside hitter senior Emily Baggotand junior middle blocker IsabellaDiaz, both all-conference last year, aswell as two-year varsity libero seniorSamantha Martino, an all-conferencehonorable mention. A key newcomeris freshman setter Madison Hankins.
“This year’s varsity team is incredi-bly strong all around,” Riddle said.“We have a number of returning varsi-ty players as well as a group of seven
seniors that are natural leaders andhave a level of enthusiasm that wehave not had in the past.”Riddle added: “The ladies need to real-
ly focus on tapping into their full poten-tial to excel beyond their previous levelsof volleyball. They have the right atti-tudes and skills, but it will be finding aperfect balance of fun and hard workthat will make us the most successfulwe can be throughout the season.”Bartlett begins the season on the road
with a nonconference match againstWillowbrook on Wednesday, Aug. 22,and the Hawks are eager to play.
“This year’s varsity team has a lot ofseasoned players,” Riddle said. “Theirexperience and confidence is some-thing that we are extremely excited totap into as we begin the season. Also,the entire group has an energy that Ihave never seen before.”Riddle added: “We have a solid front
row of attackers and our blockers arereally strong at the net. We have afreshman (Hankins) that is alreadyproving herself at the varsity level.The varsity group of ladies is a tight-knit group and they work very welltogether as a unit. They anticipateeach other’s moves and communicatevery well on the court.”

Fermilab’s accelerator complex has achieved a majormilestone: The U.S. Department of Energy formallyapproved Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory toproceed with its design of PIP-II, an accelerator up-grade project that will provide increased beam powerto generate an unprecedented stream of neutrinos —subatomic particles that could unlock our understand-ing of the universe — and enable a broad program ofphysics research for many years to come.The PIP-II (Proton Improvement Plan II) accelerator
upgrades are integral to the Fermilab-hosted DeepUnderground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), whichis the largest international science experiment everto be conducted on U.S. soil. DUNE requires enor-mous quantities of neutrinos to study the mysteri-ous particle in exquisite detail and, with the latestapproval for PIP-II, Fermilab is positioned to be the
world leader in accelerator-based neutrino research.The Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF), whichwill also support DUNE, had its groundbreakingceremony in July 2017.
The opportunity to contribute to PIP-II has drawnscientists and engineers from around the world toFermilab: PIP-II is the first accelerator project on U.S.soil that will have significant contributions from in-ternational partners. Fermilab’s PIP-II partnershipsinclude institutions in India, Italy, France and theUK, as well as the United States.
PIP-II capitalizes on recent particle accelerator ad-vances developed at Fermilab and other institutionsthat will allow its accelerators to generate particlebeams at higher powers than previously available.The high-power particle beams will, in turn, createintense neutrino beams, providing scientists with anabundance of these subtle particles.“PIP-II’s high-power accelerators and its national and
multinational partnerships reinforce Fermilab’s posi-tion as the accelerator-based neutrino physics capital ofthe world,” said DOE Undersecretary for Science PaulDabbar. “LBNF/DUNE, the Fermilab-based mega-science experiment for neutrino research, has alreadyattracted more than 1,000 collaborators from 32 coun-tries. With the accelerator side of the experiment ramp-ing up in the form of PIP-II, not only does Fermilab at-tract collaborators worldwide to do neutrino science,but U.S. particle physics also gets a powerful boost.”
The Department of Energy’s Argonne andLawrence Berkeley national laboratories are alsomajor PIP-II participants.The DOE milestone is formally called Critical Deci-
sion 1 approval, or CD-1. In granting CD-1, DOE ap-proves Fermilab’s approach and cost range. Themilestone marks the completion of the project defi-nition phase and the conceptual design. The nextstep is to move the project toward establishing a per-formance baseline.
“We think of PIP-II as the heart of Fermilab: A plat-form that provides multiple capabilities and enablesbroad scientific programs, including the most power-ful accelerator-based neutrino source in the world,”said Fermilab PIP-IIProject Director LiaMerminga. “Withthe go-ahead to re-fine our blueprint,we can focus de-signing the PIP-IIaccelerator complexto be as powerfuland flexible as it canpossibly be.”Neutrinos are ubiq-
uitous yet fleetingparticles, the mostdifficult to captureof all of the mem-bers of the subatom-ic particle family.Scientists capture
them by sending neutrino beams generated from par-ticle accelerators to large, stories-high detectors. Thegreater the number of neutrinos sent to the detectors,the greater the chances the detectors will catch them,and the more opportunity there is to study these sub-atomic escape artists.That’s where PIP-II comes in.
Fermilab’s upgraded PIP-II accelerator complex willgenerate proton beams of significantly greater powerthan is currently available. The increase in beam pow-er translates into more neutrinos that can be sent to thelab’s various neutrino experiments. The result will bethe world’s most intense high-energy neutrino beam.
The goal of PIP-II is to produce a proton beam ofmore than 1 megawatt, about 60 percent higher thanthe existing accelerator complex supplies. Eventually,enabled by PIP-II, Fermilab could upgrade the acceler-
ator to double that power to morethan 2 megawatts.“At that power, we can just flood
the detectors with neutrinos,”said DUNE co-spokesperson andUniversity of Chicago physicistEd Blucher. “That’s what so excit-ing. Every neutrino that stops inour detectors adds a bit of infor-mation to our picture of the uni-verse. And the more neutrinosthat stop, the closer we get to fill-ing in the picture.”
The largest and most ambitiousof these detectors are those inDUNE, which is scheduled to startup in the mid-2020s. DUNE willuse two detectors separated by adistance of 800 miles (1,300 kilo-meters) — one at Fermilab and asecond, much larger detector situ-ated one mile underground in
South Dakota at the Sanford Underground ResearchFacility. Prototypes of those technologically advancedneutrino detectors are now under construction at theEuropean particle physics laboratory CERN, which isa major partner in LBNF/DUNE, and are expected totake data later this year.
Fermilab’s accelerators, enhanced according tothe PIP-II plan, will send a beam of neutrinos tothe DUNE detector at Fermilab. The beam willcontinue its path straight through Earth’s crust tothe detector in South Dakota. Scientists will studythe data gathered by both detectors, comparingthem to get a better handle on how neutrino prop-erties change over the long distance.
The detector located in South Dakota, known asthe DUNE far detector, is enormous. It will standfour stories high and occupy an area equivalent toa soccer field. With its supporting platform LBNF,DUNE is designed to handle a neutrino deluge.
And, with the cooperation of international part-ners, PIP-II is designed to deliver it.
The development of a major particle acceleratorwith international participation represents a newparadigm in U.S. accelerator projects: PIP-II is thefirst U.S.-based accelerator project with multina-tional partners. Currently these include laboratories inIndia (BARC, IUAC, RRCAT, VECC) and institutionsfunded in Italy by the National Institute for NuclearPhysics (INFN), France (CEA and IN2P3), and in theUK by the Science and Technology Facilities Council(STFC).In an agreement with India, four Indian Department
of Atomic Energy institutions are authorized to con-tribute equipment, with details to be formalized in ad-vance of the start of construction.
“The international scientific community bringsworld-leading expertise and capabilities to the project.Their engagement and shared sense of ownership inthe project’s success are among the most compellingstrengths of PIP-II,” Merminga said.
PIP-II partners contribute accelerator components,pursuing their development jointly with Fermilabthrough regular exchanges of scientists and engineers.
The collaboration is mu-tually beneficial. Forsome international part-ners, this collaborationpresents an opportunityfor development of theirown facilities and infra-structure as well as localaccelerator industry.Accelerating supercon-ducting technology.
The centerpiece of thePIP-II project is the con-struction of a new super-conducting radio-fre-quency (SRF) linear ac-celerator, which will be-come the initial stage ofthe upgraded Fermilab
accelerator chain. It will replace the current FermilabLinac. (“Linac” is a common abbreviation for “linearaccelerator,” in which the particle beam proceedsalong a straight path.) The plan is to install the SRFlinac under 25 feet of dirt in the infield of the now de-commissioned Tevatron ring.The new SRF linac will provide a big boost to its par-
ticle beam from the get-go, doubling the beam energyof its predecessor from 400 million to 800 million elec-tronvolts. That boost will enable the Fermilab acceler-ator complex to achieve megawatt-scale beam power.
Superconducting materials carry zero electrical re-sistance, so current sails through them effortlessly. Bytaking advantage of superconducting components, ac-celerators minimize the amount of power they drawfrom the power grid, channeling more of it to thebeam. Beams thus achieve higher energies at less costthan in normal-conducting accelerators, such as Fer-milab’s current Linac.
In the linac, superconducting components called ac-celerating cavities will impart energy to the particlebeam. The cavities, which look like strands of jumbo,silver pearls, are made of niobium and will be lined upend to end. The particle beam will accelerate down theaxis of one cavity after another, picking up energy as itgoes.
“Fermilab is one of the pioneers in superconductingaccelerator technology,” Merminga said. “Many of theadvances developed here are going into the PIP-II SRFlinac.”The linac cavities will be encased in 25 cylindrical cry-
omodules, which house cryogenics to keep the cavi-ties cold (to maintain superconductivity).Many current and future particle accelerators arebased on superconducting technology, and the ad-vances that help scientists study neutrinos have multi-plying effects outside fundamental science. Re-searchers are developing superconducting accelera-tors for medicine, environmental cleanup, quantumcomputing, industry and national security.
In PIP-II, a beam of protons will be injected into thelinac. Over the course of its 176 meters — six-and-a-half Olympic-size pool lengths — the beam will accel-erate to an energy of 800 million electronvolts. Once it
passes through the superconducting linac, it will enterthe rest of Fermilab’s current accelerator chain — afurther three accelerators — which will also undergosignificant upgrades over the next few years to handlethe higher-energy beam from the new linac. By thetime the beam exits the final accelerator, it will have anenergy of up to 120 billion electronvolts and more than1 megawatt of power.
After the proton beam exits the chain, it will strike asegmented cylinder of carbon. The beam-carbon colli-sion will create a shower of other particles, which willbe routed to various Fermilab experiments. Some ofthese post-collision particles will become — will “decayinto,” in physics lingo — neutrinos, which will by thispoint already be on the path toward their detectors.
PIP-II’s initial proton beam — which scientists willbe able to distribute between LBNF/DUNE and oth-er experiments — can be delivered in pulses or as acontinuous proton stream.
The front-end components for PIP-II — those up-stream from the superconducting linac — are al-ready developed and undergoing testing.
“We are very happy to have been able to designPIP-II to meet the requirements of the neutrino pro-gram while providing flexibility for future develop-ment of the Fermilab experimental program in anynumber of directions,” said Fermilab’s SteveHolmes, former PIP-II project director.
Fermilab expects to complete the project by themid-2020s, in time for the startup of LBNF/DUNE.
“Many people worked tirelessly to design the bestmachine for the science we want to do,” Mermingasaid. “The recognition of their excellent workthrough CD-1 approval is encouraging for us. Welook forward to building this forefront accelerator.”
Department of Energy funding for the project isprovided through DOE’s Office of Science.

Expectations set high for Bartlett football seasonBy Seth Hancock
With a new coach, Matt Erlenbaugh,and playing in a newly aligned Up-state Eight Conference, the Bartlettfootball team has high expectationsentering the 2018 season.
The Hawks are coming off a 2-7 sea-son last year, 2-3 in the UEC Valley Di-vision. This year, four programs havedeparted the UEC and one joined,Glenbard South, as the conference willno longer include divisions.
“The goal for this season is a confer-ence championship,” Erlenbaughsaid. “I know that is a difficult goalwith some great programs in the con-ference, but we have a lot of talent onour team and if we continue to worklike we have been and go 1-0 everysingle day in practice, we have a realshot.”
Erlenbaugh added: “For the seasongoal, making the playoffs is nice how-ever we want to make a run deep intothe playoffs. In order to do this wehave to focus one practice, one play,one quarter, one game at a time. If weare able to accomplish this, the score-board will take care of itself.”
The Hawks will return a strong coreincluding a pair of all-conference re-cipients from last year, seniors AustinGates (wide receiver/safety) and Ja-son Schuberth (linebacker/fullback).Other key returners include seniors
Mohamed Abdelhafez (offensive line-man), Nick Deckard (runningback/linebacker), Nicholas Eckelber-ry (free safety) and Spencer Konstanz-er (linebacker/fullback).
Some key newcomers are senior Jon-ah O’Brien (quarterback) and juniorsTony DeRosa (linebacker) and Math-ew Young (wide receiver) as well assophomores Hayden Angell (wide re-ceiver), Charlie Nicoll (defensive line-man) and Alec Palella (tightend/linebacker).
Erlenbaugh has identified some ofhis team’s strengths on both sides ofthe ball and said the key will be learn-ing to play through adversity.
“Offensively we will establish therun game, control the line of scrim-mage which will open up our passgame,” Erlenbaugh said. “Defensivelyour effort, attitude and desire to createtakeaways will win us games.”
Erlenbaugh added: “Adversity is theonly thing that is guaranteed. Butwith adversity comes opportunity. Weneed to learn to overcome difficult sit-uations. Keep our focus on the nextplay and compete on every snap.”
Bartlett will open the season on theroad at East Aurora for an UEC gameon Friday, Aug. 24. The Hawks are alsotapped to play all four home games atits new stadium on campus starting inWeek 2 against Glenbard East.
By Seth HancockA member of the village’s bike and
run plan advisory committee wouldlike to see the Board of Trustees sup-port building out more bike trails inBartlett.
Terry Witt addressed the board dur-ing the town hall at its meeting onTuesday, July 17, and he raised Chica-go Metropolitan Agency for Plan-ning’s (CMAP) On to 2050 future vi-sion plan for the region. He said hebelieves the village could qualify forCMAP grants to help build bikepaths.
Currently there is no bike path lead-ing to the Brewster Creek BusinessPark which is west of Illinois Route 59according to Witt who said in the fu-ture that park will have “trees, trailsand vibrant businesses, and it’s goingto be an important part of what’s go-ing on in Bartlett.”
As global investors fly into O’HareAirport to consider investing in busi-nesses in the region, Witt said theywill rent bikes and travel through Du-Page County but when “they get to 59,they stop.”
“They stop because the trail stops at59,” Witt said. “It doesn’t go any-where. Well, maybe they Uber fromthere or maybe they stop at the ElkGrove (Village) Business Park, the
Roselle Business Park or the MallardLake Business Park.”Witt said that there are about 100,000
bike riders in the region who are un-able to get to the Brewster Creek Busi-ness Park and he said building morepaths will help businesses, and hesuggested the board put pressure onsome area officials in DuPage County.
There’s been a plan from DuPageCounty to build a bike path pastRoute 59 since at least 2014 accordingto Witt, who along with supportingmore bike paths, also supports addinga bike sharing program at the TriCounty State Park.
“We’ve got equipment and materialssitting right there in Brewster Creek,”Witt said. “Let’s build a trail. By theway, we want to call it the BrewsterCreek Trail, and we want that Brew-ster Creek Trail on the visitor’s map.We want to be on the map.”Witt added: “At the end of all of that,
kind of I guess it’s up to the villageboard to say ‘yeah, we want a Brew-ster Creek Trail. Yeah, we want a wayfor our residents to be able to ride be-tween the community center and thenature center and stop at 59 and havean ice cream cone at one of those(businesses).’”
Along with supporting more bikepaths, Witt also congratulated Village
President Kevin Wallace’s son andfriends who completed a nine-dayfundraising bike ride earlier this sum-mer to Niagara Falls in New York.Austin Hilvert, Tyler Klatt, Will Ra-
jewski and Brenner Wallace all madethe trip.“They learned a lot of things that can
go wrong on a long bike ride,” KevinWallace joked, “but they made it.”
Rotary Club exhibit showshistoric impact of polio
The Rotary Club of Bartlett will por-tray polio’s terrible effects and globaldevastation by displaying a real ironlung, used widely in America in the1940s and 1950s to keep many victimsalive. An exhibit will be open to thepublic from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at theBartlett Depot Museum during Her-itage Days. Polio was the most widely feared dis-
ease in America and other nations inthe mid-twentieth century. Hundredsof thousands of children were killedor crippled across 125 nations everyyear and American parents panickedover ways to protect their youngsters.Relief only came with invention of theSalk and Sabin vaccines, where near-universal immunization eventuallyslashed the number of victims andhelped eradicate the disease from theAmericas in 1994. Similar effortsworldwide have reduced the numberof wild polio virus cases to only 12 thisyear in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
This worldwide public health cam-paign was developed by Rotary Inter-national, whose members broughtvaccines to many nations and person-ally contributed in excess of $1.7 bil-lion over the decades. Rotary has sincebeen joined by the World Health Or-ganization, UNICEF, U.S. Centers forDisease Control and Prevention, theBill & Melinda Gates Organizationand many countries. Together, theymobilized global support, immunized2.5 billion children and brought polioto the brink of eradication. Massive ef-forts today are hoping to totally endthe polio scourge.
The Rotary Club of Bartlett recog-nizes that polio has not been com-pletely wiped out and transmissioncan still happen via a disease carrierflying here from an affected region.Rotarians are portraying the terriblehistory, its local connection to Bartletthistory, and the vast successes towarderadication since the 1950s.
Iron lungs were used widely in America and other countries decades ago tokeep many polio victims alive. The Rotary Club of Bartlett is providing a realiron lung to educate residents about this terrible disease and the massiveprogress made toward its global eradication. (Courtesy photo)
A good pill to swallow as collection effort hits milestone
The DuPage County Health Depart-ment’s medication take-back pro-gram, known as RxBOX, recentlyreached a collection milestone, follow-ing the drop-off by local police depart-ments of unwanted, expired or un-used medications.
On Friday, Aug. 17, officialsdropped-off 4,957 pounds of medica-tions, bringing the total to 101,165pounds collected (roughly the weightof 25 average passenger cars) since theprogram was launched in 2009.The success of the RxBOX program is
in the totals, with more than 10,000pounds collected in 2012, and over12,000 pounds each year since.
“This was accomplished through thepartnership between residents, lawenforcement and public health offi-cials of DuPage County,” said HealthDepartment Executive Director KarenAyala. “We applaud the remarkablecommunity response to RxBOX, as wework to reduce the risk of unusedmedication falling into the wronghands.”

By Seth HancockUnder a new coach, Dragan Teonic,
and in a newly aligned Upstate EightConference, the South Elgin footballteam seeks more success in the 2018season.The Storm went 8-2 last year with the
program’s fourth postseason appear-ance and finished 5-0 to capture itssecond UEC Valley Division title. Withthe departure of four teams and addi-
tion of one, the 10-team UEC will nolonger include divisions this season.
Teonic replaces Pat Pistorio whoguided the Storm to a 29-19 recordover five seasons. Teonic’s goal is tocontinue that success, and he’s identi-fied some key factors to achieve thatsuccess.“Our goal is to win the conference, as
it will be every year,” Teonic said. “Wewant to maximize what our team is
capable of doing every season. Wewant to leave the field knowing wedid all we could for each other.”
Teonic added: “Right now our focusis on discipline, toughness and effort.We have shown various levels of thosethree core values and we need to be-come more consistent. We’re a veryyoung team, but we have the ability tomaximize our success if we continueto work at a fanatical level.”
Some key returners this season willbe seniors Pat Noworol (wide receiv-er/defensive back), Royce Robinson(kicker) and Azxavier Salinas (ath-lete/defensive back) as well as juniorVince Clinite (runningback/linebacker) and sophomoreDavion Cherwin (wide receiv-er/defensive back).
Some key newcomers will be seniorsParker Frey (wide receiver/defensiveback) and Jacob Johnson (quarter-back) and juniors Leo Aguirre (run-ning back/linebacker), Calin Gurau(wide receiver/linebacker), Chris
Mejia (wide receiver/defensive back)and Sam Robles (runningback/linebacker).
Key players up front on both the of-fensive and defensive lines will besenior Cody Naida and juniors AndyKoch and Vince Tringali.
“On offense, our strength will be ourquickness and athleticism at all 11 po-sitions,” Teonic said. “This is the firstteam I’ve ever coached that was ex-tremely athletic at every offensive po-sition, including the offensive line.We’re not very big up front, but wemove well.”
Teonic added: “On defense, ourstrength will be the linebacking coregroup. We have some depth and abili-ty there, but we’re working hard to in-crease our depth and toughness. Ourdefensive backfield will be athletic,but our defensive line is a work inprogress.”South Elgin opens the season at home
for an UEC contest against WestChicago on Saturday, Aug. 25.

Charitable Summer Fest offers various attractions
Story and photos by Joe HylandWhile the final numbers aren’t yet in,
indications point to a successful runfor the Bartlett Summer Fest atBartlett Park this year.
The fest, which is run by the Bartlettfirefighters charity Ignite theCourage, was expanded this year.Last year’s event was a Saturday-onlyaffair, while this year’s also ran onFriday evening, Aug. 10.
One of the big draws for the eventwas a car show that attracted 93 en-tries. Fire District Trustee Don Wis-niewski said that the show, which ranfrom 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday,Aug. 11, was awesome.
The entries in the show were notonly local, but included people fromother communities such as Lake inthe Hills resident Mike Saenz, whoshowed his 1948 Chevy 3600 pickuptruck.
“We picked up the Best TruckAward,” said Saenz.
Another change this year was the
addition of a craft show featuring 25vendors offering various hand-madeitems.
“No smiling allowed,” said DistrictBoard President Jim McCarthy, whowas selling tickets, teased a little girlwho appeared to be unsure aboutwhether or not he was serious.
The fest had a number of things thatwere definitely geared towards theyounger set, including a pony rideand an inflatable slide that was, odd-ly enough, in the shape of a fire truck.
The idea behind the fest was first toraise money for the Ignite theCourage charity.
“All the moneywe raise goesright back into thecommunity,” fire-fighter NickMcLeod said,who spearheadedthe committee or-ganizing theevent.
One of the ways tit was hoped theevent would raise funds was througha silent auction that featured a widevariety of items. Some of the items,such as a goalie mask autographed byformer Chicago Blackhawk Tony Es-posito, were fairly popular judging bythe number of bids. Some others, suchas a set of four one-way airline ticketson Southwest Airlines and footballhelmets autographed by BrianUrlacher and Mike Singletary werenot as openly popular. To be fair,however, the helmets had startingbids of $400 each.Like any good fest, this one had food
and beverages. The food was provid-ed by four different food trucks in ad-dition to a stand. Non-alcoholic bev-erages could be had there as well. Forsomething more adult, one needed togo to the beer tent. There, one couldchoose from three different Americanor India pale ales as well as a hardlemonade beverage.
Chief Mike Falese could be foundworking behind the counter at thebeer tent. He said he was happy withthe turnout. “We; had a good night last night, and
it’s been a busy day today,” Falesesaid.
Four different food trucks were lined up to feed hungry participants.
Alabaster, a psychedelic blues rock jam band from McHenry, performed for the crowd.
An inflatable slide, oddly enough in the shape of a fire truck,was available for children to enjoy.
This year’s Bartlett Summer Fest included a craft show.
Lake in the Hills resident Mike Saenz won the best truckaward at Saturday’s car show, with his 1948 Chevy 3600pickup truck.
