NEWSFirst D86 referendum projects underwayPhase 1 construction proceeding ahead of schedule, on budget, district officials say
By Pamela [email protected]
Hinsdale High School District 86 Superintendent Tammy Prentiss could barely contain her enthusi-asm as she talked about the con-struction work taking place this summer.
“There are some pretty amazing engineering feats going on, partic-ularly at Hinsdale Central,” she told board members at their June 25 meeting.
One is easily identified by the giant pile of dirt on the soccer field off Madison Street. A large storm trap is being installed under the field to compensate for the loss of the retention pond at the site of the new pool.
“We were actually able to solve two problems,” Prentiss said. “Historically there have been horri-ble drainage problems there.”
The traps will hold storm water in the event of a large rain, releasing it slowly so the site does not flood.
“They are fitted almost like a jig-saw puzzle,” Prentiss aid. “It allows for the water to go up and down as it needs to across the whole proper-ty at Central.”
She’s also fascinated by the auguring taking place so drainage and sewer pipes can be installed 15 feet underground to connect to 55th Street.
“These big drill bits are going horizontally underneath the prop-erty,” she said.
“It truly is a spectacular thing to see,” she told board members.
Several other projects are under way this summer at Hinsdale Central and Hinsdale South (see sidebar) as the district begins to spend the $140 million voters approved in April 2019 for facilities improvements.
“I’m excited for the communi-ty primarily,” said board President Kevin Camden, who also serves as co-chair of the facilities committee. “There was clearly a big push over a long period of time to make this happen. I’m excited it’s bricks and mortar so the folks can actually see what the benefit is.”
Among the more noticeable improvements is the replacement of the 10-year-old artificial turf at both high schools.
“I’ve seen students at South already out on the practice field,” he said.
He’s also excited that crews are beginning to dig for Central’s new pool and about less exciting mechanical work. In the latter cat-egory, the district is working with utility companies to relocate elec-tric and gas lines in preparation for the Phase 2 projects that will begin next year at Central.
“Next summer when those mas-sive additions are happening, we will have already moved the gas and electric,” Prentiss said.
The closing of schools in mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic gave workers a head start on the summer projects. “We clearly got four weeks of con-struction time,” Prentiss said.
That extra time easily could have been eaten up by a host of prob-lems, from worker shortages to supply chain issues. Camden said he’s grateful that was not the case.
“Things are coming along well, and I really do give a lot of credit to our partners in the trades, the
folks we have brought on to advise us,” he said, referring to Cotter Consulting, Pepper Construction and Arcon Associates.
The extra time is especially important at Hinsdale South, where the special education department and library are being renovated.
“We said the library can open late,” Prentiss said. “It’s not even an option to have the special ed department open on time. I think that has been a relief to get all the interior work done on schedules.”
The work is within 1/2 of 1 per-cent of the budget, Camden said.
“I’m just ecstatic that we’re right were we need to be,” he said.
The construction schedule antic-ipates the return of students to their classrooms this fall, even though the district still is working to come up with a plan that meets state guidelines.
Even though only a portion of the projects voters approved in the referendum will be completed this summer, Prentiss believes students and staff will notice improvements whenever they return.
“There will be parts to every stu-dent’s day that they will see and feel the referendum at work already,” she said.
Phase 1 projectsCrews have started on
more than $52 million worth of work this summer at Hinsdale Central and Hinsdale South high schools as part of the Hinsdale High School District 86 Future Ready Facilities initiative.
Here are the projects that will be completed at both campuses during the first phase of construction.

The 10-year-old artificial turf at Hinsdale Central’s Dickinson Field is being replaced this summer as work begins on $140 million worth of improve-ments at both campuses in District 86. “It’s a
rallying point in my opinion for the community to watch at both buildings as things have devel-oped — and that’s cool,” board President Kevin Camden said. (Jim Slonoff photo)

Runners scale new heights during relayHinsdaleans strengthen endurance and their friendships during the 2019 Ragnar event
By Ken [email protected]
Two hundred miles and 24 hours to run it, with 11 sets of legs sharing the task.
Not everyone’s idea of an inviting getaway. But that challenge is what drew a co-ed group of Hinsdale resi-dents last June to the majestic Wasatch Range in Utah to take part in the 2019 Ragnar Relay.
Dozens of teams from across the country participate in the event, which spans from Logan to Park City. Each team member must complete three legs over the day-night-day time peri-od. Team vans wait at interchange points for the finishing runner, who passes off the slap bracelet to his or her teammate. The vans serve as mobile crash pads as runners steal some sleep before the next assigned leg.
Hinsdale’s Beth Folkmann is an avid runner who embraced the invita-tion to join from team organizers and
neighbors Carol and Chris Wittemann. Running through the night on pitch dark roads required some advance acclimation.
“People do have to train to run at night and at different hours. You do have to prepare to run with a head-lamp,” Folkmann said.
She recalled one hilly leg that tested her limits but said the inspiring moun-tain vistas help with motivation.
“The scenery is gorgeous,” she remarked.
The purpose of the adventure, as the Ragnar website states, is to “bask in the joy of achieving something together that you could never do alone.” And there’s no pressure to make a certain time, Folkmann related.
“You’re running at your pace. It’s just a fun event to bond with the peo-ple that you’re with,” she said.
Teammate and Hinsdalean Alli Mason confessed that timing was a bit of concern for her. Not a fan of running in the dark and with daylight fading,
she exhorted the runners before her not to tarry.
“I kept telling everyone that I was scared of the dark,” she said. “I would get to start my leg sooner if they ran faster, so we would be texting them and cheering them on the entire time.”
Once she hit the ground, Mason told herself that she would encounter other runners along the way.
“I maybe passed like six or seven runners,” she said. “There were long stretches where I didn’t see another person.”
Seven of the 11 members of the “Absolute Fire” team were from Hinsdale. But Mason said participants felt an instant connection, united in tackling the arduous task.
“It felt like this community of run-ners this entire weekend,” she said.
While a few of her teammates were Ragnar veterans, Hinsdale’s Claudia Stangle was a first-timer. Leaving the flat Midwest landscape and finding herself running in the mountains with-in 24 hours was quite an adjustment.
“I did the first leg (of the relay) and another leg in the evening, which was about two miles,” she said. “The next morning when I had the 6 a.m. run, I really felt it. There was no gas left in the tank for that one.”
Thankfully she could distract herself with the lovely river she rang along, shrouded in a morning mist.
“It was beautiful,” she saidThe mom of three said her family
was worried about what she might encounter out in the wilderness.
“It’s something different, especially running at night. They were also ner-vous that there were bears,” she said. “But they were supportive. I’m so glad I did it. It was really fun.”
Charlie Wittemann, son of Carol and Chris, was the youngest member of the team as a then-14-year-old.
“I remember just being really excited and thrilled to do something like that
at my age,” said the Hinsdale Central cross country runner. “It’s such a bucket list thing to do.”
Charlie said he tried to contain his nerves going into the race but admit-ted to being somewhat intimidated at the opening ceremony.
“It was kind of an overwhelming experience to see all these intense ath-letes participating,” he remarked.
The team relied on his youthful energy to take on a seven-mile stretch that rose 2,000 feet in elevation — in the dark. He felt his drive waning toward the end, and then he saw the team van waiting up ahead.
“I thought, ‘Wow, I did this! I made it out alive!’ ” he recounted. “It gave me a lot of hope because I was kind of down.”
The relay is paradoxically grueling and calming, he said, and the running was often the easy element.
“The toughest part was definitely sleep. I did not get enough sleep,” Wittemann said.
Before the participants had decided whether Absolute Fire would reignite for the 2020 edition of Ragnar, the event went virtual due to COVID-19.
Last month the team members div-vied up the 200 miles and ran them relay-style on local courses of their choosing.
Wittemann said the effort brought back fond memories of their Wasatch workout.
“Through the process of Ragnar and coming out of it, we have a shared con-nection and shared experience that‘s fun to look back on talk about with one another,” he said.

OPINION
Page 10 • December 4, 2008 • The Hinsdalean
Harry and Davidmust be ticked.They came upwith one heck ofan idea — theTower of Treats —and have had towatch everybodyand their sisterstart packagingproducts in a towerof boxes.Of course, I’massuming Harryand David came up with the
Tower of Treats idea them-selves (the trademark symbol
leads me to believe they did).
And I’m assuming there actual-
ly is a Harry and a David and
they have something to do with
the company.This could be a big mistake. I
was very excited to visit the Ben
and Jerry’s factory while wewere on vacation in Vermont a
few years ago (and not just for
the free samples, although they
were delicious). Everything met
my expectations until welearned from a video that Ben
and Jerry had sold out toUnilever for $326 million in2000. Ben and Jerry still have a
great story — and I still enjoyed
the tour — but that tidbit left a
bit of a bad taste in my mouth.
Anyway, to get back to Harry
and David, their Tower ofTreats is the first tower of edi-
ble gifts I ever heard of. I never
really understood all the fuss
until I received one myself and
ate what had to be the bestpear I’ve ever had. The bing
cherry chocolates weren’t bad,
either.The company has expanded
on its original concept — a gift
that contains a mix of fruit,nuts, candy and other treats —
and now offers pages andpages of different kinds of tow-
ers.Want to skip the fruit? The
Tower of Sweet Treats or Moose
Munch Fun Tower could be the
choice for you.Interested only in the good
stuff? Try the Royal Tower of
Chocolates.Looking for a gift with atheme? How about the Twelve
Days of Christmas Tower?You can also order towers
that look like snowmen, that
are built on a sleigh or that
contain low-fat foods(although I’m not surethose really should becalled treats).Yes, you would think
Harry and David wouldhave the treat towermarket covered. But thatwould be naive.Among the 40 or 50
holiday catalogs Ireceived before I ate onebite of Thanksgivingturkey, I noticed several
featured stacked boxes of treats
— all with slightly different,
non-trademarked names.Wolferman’s, best known for
its muffins and breads, is a sis-
ter company of Harry andDavid and should be forgiven, I
suppose, for taking advantage
of the tower concept. But I’m
not sure I’m willing to forgive
the very corny names for the
company’s towers, my favorites
of which are the “Inspiration”
and “Birdsong” towers.Mrs. Fields offers a Towering
Snowman of Treats and several
other towers she has (unsuc-
cessfully, in my opinion)renamed “bundles.”In addition to the Enchanting
Tower, Royal Tower andFairytale Tower available from
Fairytale Brownies, you canorder a Holiday Surprise or a
Hanukkah Surprise.Hershey’s has gotten in on
the idea, too, and offers several
towers named after Christmas
plants such as poinsettias and
holly. I think they should follow
the brownie people’s lead and
incorporate the word “surprise”
into the gift names, as I found it
quite surprising that theycharge $10 a pound forHershey’s kisses when theycome in a pretty box.I was relieved to discover that
Cabela’s decided against stack-
ing its boxes of wild gamesausages and elk and buffalo
jerky in towers. A gift from a
catalog that also sells reproduc-
tion antler chandeliers and“Depressed buck hunter” alu-
minum crossing signs justshouldn’t be packed in a tower,
no matter what you call it.—Pamela Lannom is editor of

COMMENTARY
EDITORIAL
If you haven’t been shopping in
Hinsdale lately, now is the time to do it.
The holiday shopping season is critical
for most retailers. (After all, they don’t call
it Black Friday for nothing.)But supporting themerchants who keep
our business districts vibrant and keeping
sales tax revenues here in town aren’t the
only reasons to patronize Hinsdale stores.
They have a lot to offer.Downtown, Grant Square and Gateway
Square offer awonderfulmix of independ-
ently owned shops and a handful of
national chains. If you’re looking for
something unique to give Mom this year,
you can find clothing, jewelry and artwork
in Hinsdale that she’s never seen before. If
cousinMary has to have that scarf she saw
in the TV ad, you’re in luck, too.
Andwhile some people want to focus on
the stores that have left Hinsdale, plenty of
new ones have opened up and they’re
anxious to show you what they have to
offer.You might not realize Hinsdale is home
to more than a dozen stores that sell
women’s clothing, six children’s clothing
stores, five jewelry stores, three wine
shops, three florists, two sporting goods
stores, a bridal boutique and a furrier.
There are also art galleries, spas, specialty
shops, stationery and gift stores andmore.
And some of these stores carry items
you might not expect to find on the
shelves. Let’s face it — Hinsdale shops are
known to carry fine merchandise. But
even the most expensive have something
to offer shoppers in a range of prices. If a
full-length mink isn’t likely to find its way
under the tree this Christmas, how about a
pair of luxurious fur earmuffs or a fun fur
key ring?We found great gift ideas for less than
$100 at more than 75 Hinsdale merchants.
We invite you to check out our list, which
starts on Page 5.Whether you’re looking for a locally
designed fragrance, matching book and PJ
sets for kids or a new bike light, you can
find it right here — and at a reasonable
price.And when you need to stop for a coffee
or lunch break, you won’t have to walk far.
Check out Zak’s Place if you haven’t tried it
yet or explore Embrace’s new menu.
Maybe it’s been too long since you’ve
enjoyed one of Lop’s lettuce wraps or an
omelet for breakfast at Egg Harbor. Or you
might have a favorite you always order at
Grant Square, Page’s or Zingel-man’s.
One of our favorite reasons to shop in
Hinsdale is purely selfish — we feel like
we’re part of a Norman Rockwell painting.
The beautiful store windows, lighted trees
and wreaths and evergreen boughs all
make for a picturesque shopping experi-
ence that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Think of shopping locally as a great gift
this holiday season— tomerchants, to fel-
low residents and to yourself.

NEWSHCS Family services welcomes new leaderLifetime of service prepared new executive director to accept new post during tough times
By Sandy Illian [email protected]
Service to her community has always been part of Amy Wickstrom’s life. Her new job as executive director for HCS Family Services, she said, is the culmination of decades spent helping those in need.
“I just always wanted to help and to take care of people,” said Wickstrom, who worked with March of Dimes, Boys and Girls Club of Chicago, and a San Francisco-based service for the homeless population before landing in Hinsdale. She also spent time working as a domestic violence proba-tion officer and court liaison.
All of these experiences, Wickstrom said, have pre-pared her for her latest role as executive director of HCS Family Services, a job she started June 29. A resident of La Grange and mother of two, Wickstrom was chosen to replace retiring executive director Sam Cook as lead-er of the organization, which provides food for families in Hinsdale and 23 surrounding communities.
“It’s easy for people to judge,” Wickstrom said. But thanks to her experiences, she understands how life events, especially in early childhood, can shape a person for a life-time and even generations to come.
As leader of HCS Family Services, Wickstrom said she hopes to help people over-come whatever is holding them back. In addition to food, she sees the potential for
HCS Family Services to offer services like job training and housing support.
“Everybody has different visions for what they want the organization to be,” Wickstrom said. Once she has a chance to settle in, she plans to work with staff and the board of directors to develop a clear plan for the organiza-tion’s future.
“It’s important to have a north star,” Wickstrom said. “It’s my goal to help people in any way that they need. If we can, then we should.”
Wickstrom comes to the organization at a critical time. Food distributions have
spiked by 60 to 70 percent since the COVID-19 shutdown began. The increased demand has also increased the need for funding. Meanwhile, the organization took quick and thorough measures to protect staff, guests and volunteers while still serving the commu-nity.
As COVID-19 hit in March, HCS Family Services respond-ed quickly with a new plan for distributing food. With schools closed, HCS moved one of its two food pantries to the Anne M. Jeans School gymnasium, which continues to provide ample room for staff and volunteers to store
and sort food. A drive-through service is used for distribution, protecting staff, volunteers and recipients from direct contact with one another.
Similar protocols are in place in Hinsdale, where the pantry inside Village Hall con-tinues to serve as headquar-ters for HCS Family Services.
“It feels like it’s more important than ever now,” Wickstrom said of HCS Family Services. “There’s an incredi-ble need for food.”
She said she’s grateful for the community’s gener-ous support of HCS Family Services. Even through the pandemic, donations have
remained strong. HCS Board President Bob
Lassandrallo said he can’t find words to describe the crucial role that Cook played in the success of the organization, putting it on a path for growth.
“With that growth comes the need for someone to man-age it,” Lassandrallo said. He said Wickstrom not only has the background and experi-ence but also the empathy and enthusiasm to capitalize on what Cook started.
“Our clients deserve to have an advocate in our executive director,” Lassandrallo said. And in Wickstrom, he believes they’ve found it.
Amy Wickstrom accepted the role of executive director at HCS Family Services without ever setting foot inside her new work-space. With safety proto-cols in place and a spike in demand for food due to COVID-19, she comes to the Hinsdale organiza-tion at an unusual and critical time. (Jim Slonoff photo)

Cultural bonds form community of support for PatelWhen Dina Patel’s parents
moved to the United States from western India in 1970, there was no cultural center or organization to help them connect with people who shared their culture. So they got creative.
“They used to call random peo-ple with the same last name and made friends through that cultural bond,” Patel said.
Born and raised in the United States, Patel said she grew up in the traditions of her culture and the community her parents helped to build. A few years after adopting the western suburbs as her new home, Patel felt a tug to share the traditions and celebrations she enjoyed as a child with her own children and with people who shared a connection to south Asia. With no phone book to turn to, she and a friend, Tapan Desai, decided to throw a party.
“I didn’t know what to expect,” Patel said. But their first event attracted 300 people hungry for the traditions of their homeland. Guests came dressed in Indian attire and spent the evening danc-ing, eating and making friends.
“We were blown away that we
had that much interest,” Patel said.The annual event, known as the
“Garba” after the traditional Indian dance, became the flagship event of an organization called Hamara Parivar.
Hamara Parivar also hosts an event known as Holi each spring. Patel likens the ancient Hindu festival to a color run. Held in cel-ebration of spring and signifying the victory of good over evil, Holi celebrants shower themselves in colored powder while enjoying the food and music of their heritage.
In addition to providing enter-tainment for Indian families in and around Hinsdale, Hamara Parivar has helped to form a more cohe-sive community. Like her parents, she now has a network of people who share her cultural background and whom she can count on.
This isn’t the first time Patel cre-ated a community for fellow south Asians.
“My interest in our community came at such a young age,” she said. In high school, she started an organization for south Asian stu-dents that still exists today. While studying at University of Michigan, Patel served on the board of
the Indian American Student Association for two years.
After a few years enjoying the traditions of south Asia through Hamara Parivar, Patel decided it was time to add a philanthropic initiative. Led by co-founders Patel and Purva Shah of Oak Brook, Ignite Asha is an annual adults-only black-tie gala. Held in March, the event raises money each year for a different organiza-tion working to improve human rights for south Asian women and children. This year’s third annual event took place the weekend before the COVID-19 shutdown and raised more than $100,000 for a drug rehabilitation organization in India.
Unsure of whether the event will take place in 2021, Patel said she, Shah and other members of Hamara Parivar are busy brain-storming new ways to support their community and stay connected.
“It’s a great expansion opportu-nity for us as well,” said Patel, who knows that no matter what the future holds, she is part of a com-munity bound by culture.

OPINION
“Bueller? Bueller?”The Zoom public hearing about a poten-
tial moratorium on the demolition of historic homes reminded us a little of the film classic “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” as Hinsdale Plan Commission Chairman Steve Cashman often had to repeatedly call out names of residents when it was their turn to give public comment.
We certainly hope Zoom public hearings will soon be a thing of the past, but the format did give an unusually large number of people a voice in this debate.
And we heard the same message over and over: Historic houses certainly add to the charm of the village, but homeowners shouldn’t be forced to bear the considerable cost of owning an older home.
As one caller — the daughter of a couple who owns an aging home Fifth Street — put it, a moratorium on teardowns would cause her parents financial pain and suffering “in order to make a drive through town easy on the eyes.”
Plan commissioners agreed the village should not interfere with individual property rights and voted 4-2 against recommending the moratori-um to trustees. We hope village trustees listen to their advice when they take up the matter Tuesday.
We also hope trustees will listen to insight from the plan commission when they next dis-cuss the draft of a revised historic preservation ordinance Village President Tom Cauley pre-sented informally June 16. Commissioners like many of the suggested incentives but have con-cerns about a clause that would allow trustees to delay the demolition of a home by up to six months in an attempt to save it.
While they’re at it, the village board could benefit from listening to many other opinions on historic preservation. This subject clearly is important to residents all over town. And if measures like a property tax rebate for those who renovate historic homes are to be enacted, the entire village should be part of the conver-
sation.One resident has suggested the idea of cre-
ating a task force of people on both sides of the issue to work on revisions to the historic pres-ervation ordinance. She has many ideas about how to help save historic homes — and we are certain she is not alone.
We understand Cauley’s desire to keep the momentum going on this topic. But rushing to write new laws, especially when they are designed to fix a problem that has existed for decades, seems ill-advised.
There is no saving the three homes in the Robbins Park Historic District that prompted this discussion. Other historic homes in the village likely are destined for demolition as well, which is too bad.
But it’s more important to get historic pres-ervation right than it is to get it done fast. So we encourage Cauley and the board to slow down, create a task force and invest the time to find the best preservation plan for the village.

COMMENTARY
Pull the names from police beat? We say no“Why do you print names in
police beat?” a resident asked us recently, being of the opinion — as you might guess — that we should not.
My initial reaction was to blurt out something like, “Because we’ve always done it that way.”
But that’s not a very good defense. I’ve also been trying to follow the advice of a Facebook friend’s post in June: “Can we consider the possibility that possi-bly we don’t know what we don’t know?”
So I asked myself if indeed we should stop publishing the names of arrestees in police beat. I asked publisher Jim Slonoff and associ-ate editor Ken Knutson to help me consider that possibility.
We talked to members of the legal community and of law enforcement. We read articles. We surveyed our reader advisory board. We discussed multiple sce-narios about running no names or only some names. And we lis-tened to the resident who posed the question in the first place.
We agreed — as did the vast majority of the people we talked to — that we should continue our longstanding practice. We also agreed this would be an excellent
opportunity to share our reasons for doing so with readers. So here they are, more or less in order.
1. Newspapers report the news.
The most important topics we report on are the activities of taxpay-er-funded government bodies, including the school districts and the village, of which the police department is part. We try to report on these matters as thoroughly as possible. If we take out the names of individuals who were arrested, we start down a slippery slope of eliminating details from our reporting.
2. The identities of arrestees is part of the public record.
Their names are published else-where, whether in print or online, and available to anyone who files a Freedom of Information Act request. Redacting them from our police reports does not pre-vent them from becoming public knowledge.
3. The public has a right to know.
Citizens want to know if elected officials or other community lead-
ers in town are accused of a crime. We could, as some have suggested, list the name only if the individual arrested is newsworthy. That, of course, is a highly subjective threshold. If the school principal is arrested for fraud, we think readers would want to know that. Is the same true for the PTO president? There are
other instances in which the pub-lic might want to know whether a fellow resident is accused of a crime. What if the dad who belongs to your carpool is arrest-ed for DUI with a blood-alcohol level of 1.6? Will you still feel your kids are safe with him behind the wheel?
4. Citizens expect more trans-parency from government these days, not less. A decision to pull the names from police beat would be a move toward less trans-parency. We heard a wonderful quote during our conversations: “Sunlight is a great disinfectant.”
5. Running names in police beat is a deterrent. We’ve heard this from law enforcement and from residents and know it to be true.
We certainly understand that arrestees are merely accused of a crime and are innocent until proven guilty. We’ve added a note to that effect to the police beat page, along with information on how to contact us if charges are reduced or dismissed or the accused is found not guilty. As long as we have proper documen-tation, information will be updat-ed online and in the next issue of the paper.
We know some people think police beat is nothing more than public shaming.
We disagree. Shaming some-one is different than holding them accountable, even if they feel shame as a result. (Credit to shame researcher Brené Brown for that concept.)
Of all the comments that were shared with me on this topic, one from a reader advisory board member has really stuck with me. He said if we don’t publish the names, he’ll wonder what we are hiding.
That’s not a question we want any reader asking.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Last-minutegetaway a true giftSeveral weeks
ago my daughters came up with this crazy idea of all of us going to South Carolina for a family vacation. What’s even more ridiculous, they wanted to leave in 12 days!
“Absolutely not”! I predictably replied. “How in the world do you think we could just pick up and leave on such short notice, especially in our current world”? But they were ready for me, com-plete with an impressive PowerPoint presentation, cost analysis and an arse-nal of answers at the ready for my inevitable barrage of questions.
“We will stay away from everyone else. We will just go to the beach. We will eat in every night. We will drive straight there and straight back.” They had all the bases covered.
I just rolled my eyes. They know that I am a mas-ter vacation planner. I’ve never gone anywhere in my life that didn’t take at least 10 to 12 months of prepara-tion. But in the back of my head, I couldn’t help but wonder if we could actu-ally pull it off. My business was very busy and my wife would have to try to get off of work. But my kids hadn’t secured summer jobs yet and the odds of us being able to do this any other time were extremely slim.
Casually, I started looking for places to stay, certain nothing would be available on such short notice. Low and behold there were sev-
eral rentals still open that could accommodate us. But would they be affordable? I reached out to the owners and was able to finagle a deal that I literally couldn’t refuse.
“Should we really be doing this?” I asked my wife. She remind-
ed me that at this point in our lives we thought family vacations were surely a thing of the past. If it was even remotely possible, we had to see if we could make it work.
Sure enough, a little more than a week later we found ourselves trucking 15.5 hours with a van full of who knows what, still reel-ing from the fact that it was actually happening. I recall sitting and eating pizza the night we arrived and smil-ing at my kids.
How in the world did we get here? Two weeks ago this wasn’t even a topic of conversation!”
Needless to say, we had an awesome trip. It helped that the beaches were beautiful and the weather was gorgeous. But honest-ly, it wouldn’t have made any difference where we were. The time spent with my family was the real trea-sure.
Who knows if or when we’ll ever get a chance to do this again, but I’m just so thankful for the opportu-nity we had this year — and for my kids’ persistence.

LETTERS POLICY
Woman set shining example for those she leaves behindEarlier this week Hinsdale lost a rare
person. The white ribbons around town are to honor and celebrate a woman who lived life beautifully and who taught me, just by being exactly who she was, how to be a better person.
Monica Rincon Dooley’s life was a shining example of how to live life to the fullest.
Here are a few things that I learned from Monica:
Happiness — Monica had joy inside of her and wore it on her face. Her smile brightened every room.
Warmth — She genuinely loved people. Her greetings were sincere and she was intentional about letting you know she was happy to see you.
Interest — She was naturally inquisitive and asked great questions, and she always made sure to ask how you were doing.
Listening — She intently listened to your thoughts and answers.
Inclusion — Monica loved bringing people together and went out of her way to be welcoming to all.
Patience — She had a full schedule that included quality time with family and friends yet never seemed rushed.
Humor — Monica was quick to laugh and had an unforgettable giggle.
Graciousness — She gave generously and compassionately and accepted help with heartfelt thanks.
In describing Monica, I could never completely do justice to one of the most incredible people I will ever have the good fortune to meet, but I can honor her mem-ory by doing my best to put into practice all that I learned from her.
With love and respect for my friend and neighbor — Alyssa Guido, Hinsdale
Family grateful for support following Andrea’s deathWe want to express our most sincere
thank yous to all the people who have been with us on this journey. The many flowers, dinners and donations were so greatly appreciated, as were the many
hugs and expressions of sympathy, and the thoughtfulness and kindness of the police and officers of the court. It all meant so much. Thank you. — The fam-ily of Andrea Urban
Encourage forest district to buy land at Ogden, AdamsThe IBLP land north of Ogden Avenue
and east of Adams Road presently being considered for development is an envi-ronmentally sensitive area that is part of the Salt Creek flood plain. The area should be preserved as open space, because any development in this area will increase the amount of impervious surfaces and will result in increased flooding in Salt Creek.
The citizens of Hinsdale need to contact Jeffrey Redick, District 2 Commissioner of the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, to make him aware of their sup-port for the forest preserve to acquire this land and preserve this area as open space. Citizens are encouraged to attend the for-est preserve meetings where their public
comments are welcome. Forest preserve commission meetings and planning ses-sion meetings are open to the public and take place at the District Headquarters at 3S580 Naperville Road in Wheaton. Commission meetings are at 8 a.m. on the first and third Tuesdays of the month. Planning sessions are at 8 a.m. of the sec-ond and fourth Tuesdays.
Jeffrey Redick and his fellow commis-sioners will need your input and support in their efforts to acquire this environmen-tally sensitive land for the preservation of open space.
If you care about the environment your participation in this effort is necessary. — David Fichter, Oak Brook

Four Generations of Our Family Caring for Families Like Yours.
Since 1924.Terrence M. Sullivan and Brian D. Sullivan
Susan J. JohnstonSusan J. Johnston, nee Brown, 72, of
Schaumburg died peacefully July 2, 2020, in hospice care.
She was preceded in death by her par-ents, Richard R. Brown and Pauline Holm of Hinsdale.
She is survived by her brother, Rick Brown; and her two nieces, Carly (Brown) Shaw and Nicole Brown.
Inurnment will be at Bronswood Cemetery in Oak Brook.
Joyce E. LindemanJoyce E. Lindeman, nee Eckberg, 80,
of Oak Brook, passed away unexpect-edly June 30, 2020, at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove.
Joyce was born in 1939 in Chicago to Esther and George Eckberg. She met her husband, William, while attending Argo High School, and they recently celebrated their 62nd wedding anni-versary. Joyce worked as a bakery pro-duction supervisor at Pepperidge Farm in Downers Grove for nearly 10 years before being diagnosed with lung cancer in 1984. Her love for life and determination helped her survive both lung and breast cancer as well as a brain aneurysm discovered ahead of her 50th birthday.
Through these health threats, Joyce never complained or felt sorry for her situation, but approached each challenge with determina-tion and confidence.
Her appreciation for life, friends and fam-ily brought joy to all who knew her. She enjoyed lifelong friendships, and was active with many groups, including the Oak Brook Women’s Club, their gourmet sub-groups and the Elmhurst Garden Club. Joyce had a passion for plants and flowers, and would frequently bring such gifts when visiting her children.
Joyce was happiest when with oth-ers, enjoying special events and time with family. She also loved to travel. She appreciated the food, scenery and culture while touring parts of Europe, but it was Florida and Las Vegas that became regular destinations. She loved warm weather, a pool and the beach. She especially cherished fam-ily vacations, whether with her young
family driving to California or in later years, joining children and grandchildren for spe-cial trips. She will be missed dearly.
She is survived by her husband, William Lindeman; her three sons, Bob (Janice), Ken (Teri) and Don (Chris) Lindeman; her grand-children, Brian, Kyle, Tom, Jonathan, Katie and Dan Lindeman and Ashley (Ron) Garcia; her great-grandchildren; Alex and Rylee Garcia; her siblings, George (the late Rose), Ron (Doreen) and Glen (Sue) Eckberg; and many nieces and nephews.

Ellie loved to cook and bake and was the most loving host-ess at many gatherings in her home. One guest told her that he had never felt so welcomed into someone’s home. As she said, “There’s always room in the inn!”
Her faith in God was her foundation. She was involved in many areas at her church over the years. Her friends from church were her closest friends throughout her adult life.
She was preceded in death by her husband, George J. Lafrentz in 2013; and her siblings, Irmgard Kaak and H. Otto (Kay) Kaak.
She is survived by her children, Annie (Karl) Muehlfelt, Karen (Michael) Kratschmer,

ASK AN EXPERTCHLOE ATTLAN, COMPETITIVE DEBATER
Page 14 • July 9, 2020 • The Hinsdalean
How do youprepare for an online debate?
Hinsdale’s Chloe Attlan was elated in early March after she and debate partner Ajay Jejurikar won the district qualifier for the National Speech & Debate Tournament. Next stop, Albuquerque, N.M.
Then COVID-19 hit, and the event was suddenly in jeopardy. But the pair of rising Hinsdale Central seniors got to the national stage in a virtual form of the competition last month.
“It was a little different. It feels more like we’re just interviewing each other,” Attlan said of the online experience.
At the end of the day, however, it’s less about the format and more about the quality of arguments, she stressed.
“The crux of a debate is just speak-ing, and that wasn’t really impaired,” Attlan said.
They took part in the public forum debate category of the June 14-20 tournament, which typically involves more than 4,500 students from upwards of 1,200 schools. The
topic, provided a month earlier, was whether charter schools are benefi-cial to U.S. education.
“We tried to get all of our research together. We each researched both sides to get familiar with it,” Attlan explained. “Once all of our research is put together, I take one side and he takes the other and we practice.”
Of course, interacting while not being right next to each other took some familiarizing, too, and they worked with peers to acclimate to debating via Zoom. A member of Central’s Forensics Club the last two years, Attlan said the pursuit has been enriching on many levels.
“It teaches you how to think crit-ically and also develop your public speaking, which are really helpful skills in life,” she said.
Attlan said her chemistry with Jejurikar is a big advantage, stressing that the absence of a formal coach required them to be each other’s chief encouragers and trainers.
“We’ve known each other for a very long time, so it’s easy for us to communicate, and we’re comfort-able with each other,” she said. “We give each other criticism, and we’ve come together to take up the leader-ship position in the (forensics) club.”
With the normal two-hour after-
school practices taken away by remote learning, the two had to strategize by phone and turn to online videos of accomplished debaters to help them polish their delivery. After a masterful district meet in which the pair went unde-feated, Attlan knew nationals would ratchet up the intensity.
Teams compete in 12 debates over six rounds, trying to earn a spot in the elimination round. The 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. schedule was grueling, Attlan admitted, but she found her stride.
“I’m always a little nervous going into a competition, but once I get into it’s much more relaxing,” she said.
Their record of eight wins and four losses earned them a spot in the elimination rounds, where they reached round nine.
“That was exhilarating,” she said. “We were both really excited about that.”
Although her summer debate camp was a casualty of the pandem-ic, she and Ajay are using Facetime to stay sharp. And with nationals in Des Moines next year, the trip would be easy to make.
“Hopefully it’s in person,” she quipped.

GOOD NEWSIDOT GRANT FUNDSNEEDS STUDY
DuPage County Public Transit Committee member Julie Renehan announced July 1 that IDOT has awarded a $50,000 service needs study of Willowbrook Corners in the amount of $50,000. This is part of an initiative to support disadvantaged communities.
“Time and time again, we see transportation listed as a barrier to jobs, education, health and shopping needs,” Renehan said. “This area of unincorporated Willowbrook is down Route 83 with no sidewalks to connect it to Hinsdale South, local shop-ping, job opportunities or College of DuPage. Upon joining the board, I began meeting with residents, PACE, school and govern-ment officials and housing administrators on how to connect up this area to increased opportunity. With a study, we can determine needs more specifically and go from there.”
Renehan thanked DuPage County Chief of Transportation Planning John Loper for his help in obtain-ing the competitive grant, which did not require a local match.

Forest districts offer convenient camping options just a short drive from homeBy Pamela Lannom
Tired of camping out in the back-yard but not interested in a long drive to a campground? The forest preserve districts of DuPage and Cook counties have the answer.
Blackwell Family Campground
The family campground at Blackwell in Warrenville, with more than 60 wooded and semi-wooded sites to accommodate tents, trailers and motor homes, opens tomorrow. And people are anxious to go.
“It looks like we have quite a few reservations already for the coming weekends. As of right now, we’re sold out for this weekend,” say Jay Johnson, manager of site operations, community services and educa-tion for the DuPage County Forest Preserve District.
“Blackwell has always been a great location for camping for a few reasons,” Johnson said. “The biggest one, especially in these times, is it’s close to home.
“You can literally check out the weather forecast on a Tuesday and be camping on a Friday or Saturday,” he added.
The campground offers campers a more private experience than they
might have at a more open location.“Our campground is a bit unique
in that each site has got a buffer between them, a natural buf-fer, either trees or native plants,” Johnson said.
Blackwell Forest Preserve has a number of amenities that will keep campers busy all weekend long. Boat rentals are closed for the summer because of COVID-19, but private boating is available on Silver Lake, a 60-acre lake adjacent to the camp-ground that also is a great place to go fishing.
“We have a real variety of fish within the lake,” Johnson said.
Paddleboarders also are welcome to bring their own boards to use on the lake, as long as they have a permit (available online or at visitor services).
Campers can bring their own gear and use the archery range or head out for a hike on one of the trails.
The trail system at Blackwell con-nects to several adjacent preserves as well, Johnson noted. Climbing to the top of Mount Hoy offers a great workout and a scenic vista of the preserve.
New this year, photos of each campsite are available online for those looking to make a reservation. Johnson was willing to share a few of sites he likes best.
“Site 27 is my personal favorite. It’s kind of separate from the other ones and it’s on a bit of a hill with mature oaks,” he said.
He also likes site 4, which faces the lake.
“Honestly, you can’t go wrong,” he said.
Each campsite offers a gravel park-ing pad, fire ring picnic table and electricity, with portable toilets, run-ning water and trash and recycling containers nearby. Bathrooms and sinks will be available, but shower facilities will remain closed due to COVID-19.
“Staff will be going through the area and sanitizing a couple of times a day,” Johnson said.
Rates are $20 per site per night for DuPage residents and $30 per site per night for nonresidents. The campground closes at sunset and the front gate is locked.
Reservations are being accepted through Sept. 30. Call visitor services at (630) 933-7248.

Camp Bullfrog Lake
Whether the family prefers camp-ing in a tent, cabin, bunkhouse or RV, the campground at Bullfrog Lake in Willow Springs is now open.
A portion of the extensive Palos Trail System winds through the site, inviting visitors to navigate rolling hills and deep ravines, and provid-ing beautiful views of the surround-ing landscapes. Fishing is available on the 16-acre Bullfrog Lake, which is home primarily to bluegills, sun-fish and black bullheads. Kayaks are available for rental at the Maple Lake Boating Center located just east of the camp across Wolf Road. The campground also is just a short drive from the Little Read Schoolhouse Nature Center, the Sagawau Environmental Learning Center and the Swallow Cliff Stairs.
Reservations for tents and cab-ins are available from Wednesday through Saturday nights and every day for RVs.
Tent sites offer a 10-by-10 foot mulched tent pad with timber edge,
a picnic table and a fire ring with a grate. The rates are $31-$36 for Cook County residents and $41-$46 for DuPage residents.
RV/tent campsites with electricity feature 12-by-24 to 14-by-40 com-bined gravel parking space and grav-el tent pad with timber edge, 30/50 or 20 amp electric systems, a picnic table and a fire ring with a grate. Rates are $36-$51 for Cook residents and $46-$61 for DuPage residents.
The camp offers large cabins (for up to 10 people) with heating and air conditioning, bunk beds for eight, single beds for two in a separate room, a private accessible restroom (toilet, shower and two sinks), a porch, a picnic table and a fire ring with grate for $102-$127 a night for Cook residents and $114-$141 a night for DuPage residents.
Small cabins have bunk beds for eight people, a ceiling fan, a porch, a picnic table and fire ring with a grate. Rates are $52-$63 for Cook residents and $84-$94 for DuPage residents.
For reservations, call (855) 937-2267.

The great leaders are not the strongest, they are the ones who are honest about their weaknesses. The great lead-ers are not the smartest; they are the ones who admit how much they don’t know. The great leaders can’t do every-thing; they are the ones who look to others to help them. Great leaders don’t see them-selves as great; they see themselves as human.
Simon Sinek
An arrogant person considers himself perfect. This is the chief harm of arrogance. It in-terferes with a person’s main task in life - becoming a better person. Leo Tolstoy

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20It may not be easy to get things done this week, Capricorn. You might find it challenging to muster up the energy to be effec-tive. If so, look to others for motivation.
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, there is a lot you want to say to someone special, but for some rea-son the words get stuck on your tongue. You may need a little more time to formulate your thoughts.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22You may want to look up old friends who you haven’t seen for a while, Cancer. You may be feeling sentimental or sociable and a simple text or phone call can be effective.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23This week’s overall outlook is positive for you, Libra. However, you may have to work a little bit for that positivity. The attitude you present is what you will get in return.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, lately you have been challenged to as-sert yourself in many dif-ferent ways. You tend to thrive in a leadership role, but don’t let the stress get the best of you.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21The adage “look before you leap” is never more pertinent for you, Taurus. Weigh all of your deci-sions carefully before you start any new projects this week.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23You like to have the final say in all matters, Leo. But there is a fine line be-tween taking charge and being a control freak. Let others’ reactions help you fine tune your delivery.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, embrace your cre-ative side rather than your analytical side. Employ your creativity this week and you may be surprised at the results.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20Many things come to you naturally. Examine your strengths and figure out how to be as productive as possible in the days ahead.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21Try to keep the peace with other people this week, Gemini. Lead by example rather than tell-ing others what to do. This approach will be more warmly received by others.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22You will be able to get to the root of problem this week if you put in some serious effort, Virgo. It may involve receiving and analyzing feedback from many different peo-ple.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21You may have to rethink certain principles that you have adhered to for years, Sagittarius. After some re-flection, you may realize life has changed and you must adjust.

SPORTSCentral anticipates return of sportsBut the devil is in the details as programs negotiate coronavirus safety measures
By Ken [email protected]
The Illinois High School Association announced its Phase 4 Return to Play Plan last week as Hinsdale Central and other schools look to restore their athletic programs amidst the corona-virus pandemic.
The guidelines, which were given a stamp of approval by the Illinois Department of Public Health, allow gatherings of up to 50 individuals indoors or outdoors, with multiple groups allowed outdoors provided they are separated by a distance of at least 30 feet. Athletes must be screened with temperature checks before every workout, and coaches and volunteers must wear masks (see sidebar for details).
Hinsdale Central athletic director Dan Jones said the plan provides guidance on holding summer camps and practices for fall sports programs, On Monday, he and Hinsdale South athletic director Art Ostrow submitted their plans to district leadership and are awaiting approval.
“Then we’d open up registration and practice schedules,” he explained.
Uncertainty still swirls around fall competitions, Jones said, as the IHSA and individual conferences navigate the changing landscape.
“Safety remains at the forefront of everything that the IHSA is doing as we move into Phase 4 and beyond,” said IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson in a statement upon release of the Phase 4 guidelines. “Our focus now shifts to continuing to work with state leadership to determine how to provide the safest environment possi-ble for fall sports.”
Jones said he and his counter-parts in the West Suburban Silver Conference have been working to craft plans for the possibility of return-ing to competition. He does not fore-see allowing spectators, although they are permitted under the IHSA plan.
“We’re looking to either live stream or film events and post them so family and friends can see those competi-tions,” he said.
Figuring out capacity limits and spacing for camps will help officials prepare for the school year, Jones noted.
“We’re going through all of our facilities and all of our fall sports to come up with a plan to get as many
athletes participating and playing under the state parameters and doing it safely,” he said.
Jones said he’s been communi-cating with coaches to give potential scenarios about how practices might be run. For football, for example, the IHSA guidelines don’t specifically advise against physical contact during but do discourage high fives.
Central varsity football head coach Brian Griffin said he expects there to be either no contact or limited contact once practices can begin.
“So you’re going to have to reframe how you teach things,” he said, allud-ing to recent measures promoting head safety that already has altered behavior. “We’ve gotten better at making it safe.”
Griffin said normally the team would have had two weeks of camp in June and another two in July. He and his coaching staff regularly send play-ers suggested workouts.
“We’re trying to keep everyone engaged,” he said.
Central girls varsity cross country coach Mark McCabe said he had to cancel the squad’s annual Lake Geneva overnight trip for training and team-building.
“We’re deciding on other ways to replace that experience with things that we can do locally,” McCabe said.
Running has the advantage, he remarked, of being a sport that lends itself to self-training.
“I’ve been giving workouts to the girls, and the leaders have been administering them, organizing meet-ings in groups,” McCabe said, noting that social distancing guidelines are being observed.
Seeing girls carrying that responsi-bility of leadership “might be one of the ways where you turn a potential negative into a positive,” he remarked.
Not having access to school training equipment has required an adjust-ment, McCabe said. The fall season will not be business as usual, either, but he said they’re preparing as if it will be.
“We’re going to come into the sea-son with the attitude that we always do, and then we’ll roll with the punch-es,” he said.
Jones said figuring out how to keep athletic areas sanitized in “the fastest and most efficient way” is also a major component, adding that the DuPage County Health Department also will need to sign off on the school’s reopening plan. Getting kids back in the school is key, he stressed.
“If we have no in-person school, than I don’t anticipate us having in-person sports,” Jones said.
Griffin believes his student-athletes will be ready, whatever the case.
“I think the kids will be focused when we do get back together,” he said. “We just don’t know when that will be yet.”
Rules for returnThe Illinois High School
Association last Friday released its Phase 4 Return to Play Plan to guide schools in resuming sports activities this sum-mer. Here are some of the highlights:
• Gatherings of up to 50 individuals, indoors or outdoors, are allowed. Thirty feet of space must be maintained between gatherings of 50 when outdoors; the limit of 50 is the maximum no matter the spacing indoors.
• Athletes should be screened at the start of practice for temperature (must be below 100.4) and symptoms of COVID-19. Those deemed unable to participate can return only after clearance to do so from a physician.
• Locker room capac-ity should be limited to ensure proper social dis-tancing.
• Athletic facilities should be cleaned before and after each use by a group of athletes. Equipment such as foot-ball helmets and pads should be worn by only one individual and not shared.
• At contests, group sizes should be limited to 50 total participants, coaches and referees; any additional team mem-bers can sit on the side-lines socially distanced.
• Coaches/volunteers must wear a mask; offi-cials must wear a mask, except when actively exercising as part of their duties, and use an elec-tronic whistle.
• Spectators, if permit-ted, should be directed to a designated area with existing seating capped at 20 percent of capacity and allowing six feet of distance between fami-lies/household units.
Hinsdale Central football players put in the work during a July practice in 2017. Because of restrictions due to coronavirus, the team has not been able to have any summer practice this year, and questions remain about playing the fall season. (file photo)
