MP Police ArbitrationHearing Expected SoonCertain Officers Want First Crack At Choosing Shifts

By RICHARD MAYERAssistant Managing Editor

An arbitration hearing is ex-pected soon between the villageof Mount Prospect and three of itsmidnight shift police officers.

The officers claim they werenot given first opportunity tochoose new shifts at the begin-ning of the year over officers onprobationary status.

A new arbitrator needs to befound for the hearing process to

move forward.According to Metropolitan Al-

liance of Police (MAP) SecretaryRick Tracy, the village recentlydenied a panel of arbitrators.Both sides are now in the processof going back to the drawingboard to determine who willhear the case.

"They (village) are within theirrights to turn down a panel ofarbitrators," Tracy said.

Tracy said the Federal Me-diation and Conciliation Service

(FMCS) supplies a list of arbi-trators for both sides to narrowdown to one to hear the case.Each side has an opportunityto deny any or all of those in-dividuals for whatever reasonthey choose.

"The village just didn't likeany of the arbitrators presented,"Tracy said.

"We just felt the panel wasn'ta good panel," Acting VillageManager David Strahl said.

Investigators had yet to inter-view surviving drivers and pas-sengers in the vehicles becauseTreantafeles said they remainedhospitalized.

Investigators expect to spendthe next few weeks completing

a computer modeled accidentreconstruction as part of theirinvestigation. Until that model-ing is complete and witnessesinterviewed, Treantafeles saidit would be unclear if speedcontributed to the accident.

The crash, which occurredat the intersection of Golf andOakton College Drive just eastof River Road, claimed the lifeof an 18 -year -old Chicago man.A total of four people were trans-ported to area hospitals.

CEA BudgetIn HoldingPatternAirport Seeks Approval From Towns

A meeting has been ten-tatively scheduled for June2 where both Wheeling andProspect Heights plan todiscuss Chicago ExecutiveAirport's new budget, whichhas yet to be approved.

The two towns own theairport, formerly Palwaukee,and maintain oversight of itsspending.

Wheeling trustees at theirMonday, May 4 meetingvoted to deny the budgetcompletely. This overturns adecision made last week toapprove the budget with theexclusion of two line itemstotaling $275,000.

Likewise, Prospect Heightsaldermen recently tabled a fi-nal decision on the budget.

On Monday, Apr. 27, Pros-pect Heights Mayor NickHelmer was wary of ap-proving the budget, citinga $100,000 expense on astudy being performed byChicago Executive AirportCEO Charles Priester.

A special meeting to ap-prove the budget two dayslater, Apr. 29, also failed togenerate a decision from

aldermen, the Journal wastold.

Priester's study is alsobehind the $275,000 Wheel-ing wanted removed fromthe airport budget. The CEOsaid in a Feb. 25 presentationto Wheeling trustees that hisstudy found CEA was No. 8of the top ten "reliever" air-ports in the U.S and that hedid not intend for it to expandinto a "major freight haulingcenter."

At the same February meet-ing, Village President DeanArgiris called for a "timeout"on Priester's discussionof runway expansion.Thistopic is one that hits close toWheeling as more concernswere expressed at the May 4meeting about runways possi-bly expanding into residentialareas and noise pollution.

Argiris has expressed hissupport of the airport anddescribed it as great asset tothe village.

However, Wheeling andProspect Heights are not keenon funding Priester's expen-sive, two-phase master planthat's required by the FAA.

Iroquois StudentGoing Places WithBusiness Idea

Twelve -year -old Des Plainesresident and Iroquois Com-munity School student JuhiSoni won first place at theYoung Entrepreneurs Academy(YEA!) competition held lastSaturday at Woodfield Mall inSchaumburg.

Soni's winning idea is asimple invention called "Scoo-tle." It is "a flexible, bendablescoop that can go into a bottleof any size" and "will avoid20-25 percent of wastage fromany bottle."

Scootle was developed as partof Soni's involvement in YEA'syear -long after school programwhere students in grades 6-12spend three hours each weeklearning how to "generate busi-ness ideas, conduct market re-search" and, eventually "launchtheir very own companies."

As a sixth grader at Iroquois,Juhi was one of the youngestYEA competitors. But thatdidn't stop her from grabbing

the first place spot. In fact, itseems as if very little can comebetween Juhi and her goals. Inaddition to her work on Scoo-tle, she is a straight A student,practices traditional Indiandance and has earned a Blackbelt in karate.

Family provided both supportand inspiration for Juhi's forayinto business. "How do I helpmy mom?" was the question thatled to her award winning idea,and her interest in her father'sbusiness resulted in her applyingfor YEA's program.

Juhi says that she is "grate-ful to start a business at such ayoung age".

Juhi's victory will send her toFlorida at the end of the monthto compete among other youngentrepreneurs from across thecountry. From there, she hopesto move forward to compete inWashington, D.C, and eventu-ally become "a big businesswoman" and her own boss.

Aqua agreed to keep ratesbasically frozen through 2020.The one exception to the freezeis if wholesale rates Aqua paysfor water from Niles increase,those increased costs can bepassed on to customers.

Aqua President Craig Blanch-ette said annual increases, fromany wholesale increases, would

likely be put into place afterthe new fiscal year starts July1 and be reconciled at the endof the calendar year with adjust-ments -- either positively ornegatively -- showing on cus-tomer bills in the first quarterof each year.

Customers enrolled in au-tomatic monthly bill pay ar-rangements with the villageof Glenview will need tore -register with Aqua throughtheir website.

Taste ReturnsTaste Of Des Plaines Puts Local Restaurants In Spotlight June 12-13

The Taste of Des Plaines isreturning to downtown DesPlaines, and it's tastier thanever.

Following a four-year hia-tus when it was known as theDes Plaines Summer Fling,the festival has returned to itsoriginal name, The Taste of DesPlaines, but this time under newevent management and a freshdirection.

Enter Ravenswood SpecialEvents, a Chicago -based spe-cial events outfit who's workedon heavyweights like Taste ofChicago, Blues Fest and Tasteof River North. The new Tasteof Des Plaines, June 12-13,will be a free event, void ofprevious years' kitschy carni-val food and games in favor oflocal restaurants, chef -drivencuisine, family activities andfun tribute bands.

"We're looking to give thecommunity a fest that em-braces the best in town," saidRavenswood President RalphConception. "Our philosophyas an event company is to try tomake all of the events we workon as local as possible becausethose are the most successful,and the most sustainable."

The Food

Food at The Taste of DesPlaines will feature a wide ar-ray of choices, everything fromburgers to gourmet, along withthe colorful cooks and propri-etors behind it. Highlights (asprovided by Taste promoters)include:

American Wildburger:When Freddy Esparza wasdeveloping the concept for hisnew burger restaurant he want-ed a place that would welcomeboth the health conscious andthe glutinous. That idea turnedinto American Wildburger. Themenu includes 100% naturallyraised USDA prime beef burg-ers, 100% Amish chicken andturkey burgers, bison burgers,and pork Carnitas as well as acouple of seafood choices. Allmeats are free of preservatives,antibiotics, and hormones.American Wildburger offersvegetarian options as well asgluten free side dishes and des-serts, organic teas and sodas,and fruit smoothies.

Sun Rise Grill: Head chef.and owner Jose Medina hasworked alongside many of Chi -

Food tents lined Ellinwood Street during the last Taste of Des Plaines, which was canceled and eventually replaced with the Summer Fling. TheFling is no more and Taste of Des Plaines is set to return next month. (Journal file photo)

cago's top chefs and used hisculinary talents to create oneof Des Plaines' hidden gems.Their menu items include thebest omelets in Des Plaines,gourmet sandwiches and sal-ads, dinners of lamb shank,beet & goat cheese salad,Chicken Vesuvio, wild mush-room flatbread, and dessertsof homemade flan and cremebrulee. Don't let the suburbanaddress fool you; Sun RiseGrill can go head -to -head withChicago's greatest "gourmet"restaurants.

T -Bob's Smoked Bar -B -Q:A family owned and run bar-beque joint that is outside of thecorporate scene. All they aretrying to do is spread the joyof good food to the communityaround them. Come on downand try something off of theirdelicious menu. All of theiringredients are locally boughtand everything is cooked freshto order! T -Bob's offers all ofthe barbeque classics like ribs,rib tips, pulled pork, brisket,chicken and hot links. The listof available side dishes goeson and on; homemade au gratinpotatoes, baked sweet potatoes,mac and cheese, baked beans,coleslaw, country apples, andtraditional corn bread. Takehome a bottle of their excel-lent sauce.

Charcoal Delights: For over

20 years, Charcoal Delightshas been proud to use themost irresistible old fashionedcooking process in the world,charcoal "barbecue" broiled. Itmight be difficult deciding justwhat to order. Maybe you'llhave a thick, delicious 100%pure domestic beef burgersor a plump all beef Viennahot dog or a Maxwell StreetPolish with all the trimmings.Then again, you might enjoytheir famous broasted chicken,golden brown on the outside,moist and tender inside. Trytheir charcoal broiled steaks,gyros, homemade beef andsausage, or homemade soupsand chili.

Taco Burrito King: TBKstarted out in 1992 in a con-verted hot dog stand on thecorner of Belmont and Harlem.Unofficially, TBK's rootstrace all the way back to theirmother's kitchen, the heartof their home. That traditioncontinues and, as their namesuggests, cos and burritosare their specialty. All of theirfood is homemade from scratchwith mom's recipes. In addi-tion to great food, they servetheir customers with state-of-the-art innovations that alsobenefit the environment. Allof their kitchens operate withthe most efficient equipmentin the restaurant industry. They

also strive to be green outsideof the kitchen too, having anextensive recycling program,using Energy Star appliances,energy -efficient lighting, ra-diant heat, high -efficiencyHVAC units and driving dieselfuel delivery trucks.

Rosati's Pizza: Italian im-migrant, Ferdinand Rosati,opened an Italian restaurant onChicago's famous Taylor Streetin 1906. Back then, pizza wasstrictly old-world Italian fare,simply a tomato sauce servedon crisp bread that Ferdinandoften put on the table as a spe-cial offering to his customersand boy did the people loveit! By 1927, Ferdinand's son,Saverio Rosati opened anotherChicago restaurant. Soon after,it became a favorite wateringhole for Chicago society andWindy City politicians. Onany given night you might spotJack Haley, the "Tin Man" inThe Wizard of Oz, enjoyinghomemade Italian specialtiesor notorious gangster, Al Ca-pone, sharing a dish of pastawith his so called "nemesis,"Eliot Ness. When Saverio re-tired in 1964, pizza was nowa popular trend. Saverio's sonsopened the first Rosati's Pizzain Mount Prospect. Rosati'sPizza is a Chicago -based,family owned company andoffers Chicago -style, thin -

crust, double -dough pizzas,calzones, a variety of pastas,sandwiches, salads, dessertsand catering.

Hearing(Continued from page 1A)

"We look at arbitrators thatare more fair versus either prounion or pro management. Wetypically look at an arbitrator'sreputation for being fair. It isimportant for that person tohave dealt with these types ofissues before and have experi-ence in similar situations."

So a new panel is being puttogether and one person willbe chosen to make a ruling inthe near future.

According to Tracy, FMCShas thousands of arbitratorsto choose from. The processentails attorneys for both sidesflipping a coin to see who goesfirst in regard to striking aname off the list.

Once both parties decideon an arbitrator, Tracy said

he expects the hearing to lasta day. He also said the arbitra-tor's decision is binding by thepolice union, meaning shouldthe arbitrator rule in favor ofthe officers, the village canappeal the decision but wouldhave to cover all expenses tocontest that ruling.

Should the arbitrator rulein favor of the officers andthe village does not appeal,Tracy said his hope is thoseofficers would be allowed toselect their desired shifts andbe placed in those work timesimmediately.

Tracy said not allowing thethree officers to choose theirdesired shift before probation-ary officers are placed in thosespots violates the collectivebargaining agreement.

already in discussion severalyears before the course wasadded, said Maine East Prin-cipal Michael Pressler.

The school had to do somerenovations to have doors bigenough to move materials andframing pieces in and out.

Teams of students worktogether to build a wall, and byMay 1 most of their classroomhad become the staging area forthe first floor. Paper labels wereattached to identify which roomwas which, but visitors couldwalk in and out of all of them.

Visitors wrote good luck mes-sages on the interior walls.

The walls will be takenapart into to movable units andshipped to Elgin, where theframing will be stabilized and abasement, garage floor and theroof will be added.

Students will make a two-day visit to the site for the nextstage of construction. Habitatvolunteers will do the finishingtouches.

Sheena and Juan and their sixchildren are currently crammedin a small apartment. The familyincludes daughters Alexis, Mia,Jasmine and Sophie, and sonsA.J. and Jaden.

She addedthat "when we told DJ as a fresh-man that we expected him to beinvolved in at least two clubs,activities or sports, I think hethought we said 20."

Gianpetro's Agreement ApprovedBy RICHARD MAYERAssistant Managing Editor

Mount Prospect Park Districtcommissioners Apr. 29 ap-proved a separation agreementwith former CommunicationsManager Gail Gianpetro, whichentails additional pay for twomonths, medical coveragethrough January 2016, andthe ability for the former parkdistrict employee to possiblycollect unemployment ben-efits.

As part of the separation,the park district will pay Gian-petro two months of her basesalary at the time her employ-ment ceased, which equates to$11,228.

The park district also agreedto continue to pay Gianpetro'smedical coverage for a periodof nine months beginning nowthrough January 2016. Thetotal value of that paymentequates to $5,624.

Additionally, the park dis-trict will pay Gianpetro forher unused sick leave, whichtotals $3,380.

Should she pursue anotherjob elsewhere, the agreementstates the park district willprovide a neutral reference to

employers.Gianpetro and the park dis-

trict parted ways Feb. 3. She

stated in the agreement shewill not seek reinstatementof employment and the parkdistrict has no obligation tohire her back.

Also part of the agreement,Gianpetro agrees she will nottake any legal action against thepark district and will not makeany disparaging commentsagainst the park district.

Additionally, both parties willnot disclose any information onwhat led to Gianeptro's employ-ment coming to an end.

The Journal & Topics News-papers first reported on that ter-mination in February. In a letterfrom Executive Director GregKuhs sent to park commission-ers in February, Gianpetro, whoworked for the park districtfor 15 years, was fired due to"gross misconduct." She was incharge of media relations suchas sending out press releasesand working with the externalaffairs department. She alsohelped facilitate programs andevents.

A short time after the storywas published, Gianpetro sent aletter to the Journal explainingher side of the story.

She previously said she firstlearned from the Journal that the

of her employmentwas allegedly due to "grossmisconduct."

The Journal put the wordout to staffers encouragingkind words from those luckyenough to have a mother intheir life, whether today orin years past. Here are someof those responses:

My mom is from 8 Mile inDetroit and the daughter of alongtime Detroit firefighter.She was raised tough andalways wanted a better lifefor her kids. That is exactlywhat she did with her fourchildren. She raised us allthe right way and taught usto work hard and never thinkyou can't do anything. Shewas hard on us at times, butonly because she knew thatwe were always capable ofdoing more. If there wassomething we did and failedat she wouldn't get upset,just be proud that we gave itthe best effort we could. Herfour kids have all becomeadults now and her twodaughters both have mastersand good jobs and one of hersons owns his own success-ful business that has helpedchange multiple lives. Herfourth and final child, me, isa sports reporter for the Jour-nal & Topics and graduatedwith honors from Eastern Illi-nois University. My mother'sstrength is not matched andeveryone around her hasbecome stronger and betteroff for it. She always says herkids are above average andthat she didn't raise averagekids and it shows with whatwe have all become.

Remembering my mother,the late Sandra Miller: Momwas the light of my life anda day doesn't go by whenI don't think of her. Momloved her parents: Sam andLena Lubeck and her broth-ers, Larry (her twin) and (thelate) Marvin. During herchildhood and teen years, sheenjoyed her family's summervacations at various retreats.Describing who mom was ispretty clear to me. She wasa woman, first, but societywould best classify her as anat-home mom. Though shenever learned to drive, therewasn't anything she wouldn'tdo for us. She was alwaysthere for my brothers Daleand Al and I. She alwaysprepared home -cookedmeals, cakes and cookies.She encouraged us to drawbecause she loved to draw.She enjoyed soap operas like`The Young and the Rest-less', 'As the World Turns',`Guiding Light' and the 'Boldand the Beautiful'. Most ofall, she kindled our abilityto love people and animals,have confidence, and aim forour goals.

I think parents can have anamazing influence on theirchildren and the generationsthat follow. Sometimes theirmothering goes much farther.

I did not know my mater-nal grandmother, Mary Anna

Stafford, as well, becauseshe died as I was goinginto kindergarten, but I stillremember her quiet, gentlepresence. She was a preach-er's wife, much shorter thanher lanky Irish husband, but asteadying anchor next to him,who balanced his equallygentle self. She did not haveas much formal schooling ashe did, but she loved poetryand Shakespeare and traveland had access to their excel-lent home library. I know herbetter through the way shehelped to shape my mother,her only surviving child.

In contrast, my father'smother, Laura Hughes Lunde,was raised by educators inToronto, studied to be a Froe-belian kindergarten teacher,worked for women's rightson an international level, andadvocated social reform. Shetaught, not in schools, but inpublic forums, as a volunteerlobbyist for improved healthcare, education and fair elec-tions. She counter -balancedthat with gardening, sewingfor herself and all the family,baking for all occasions andmaintaining a great interestin children in general and hergrandchildren in particular.

My mother, Grace Lunde,felt encouraged by these rolemodels to stretch her ownwings. She did not have toconfine herself to only beinga housewife, so she beganvolunteering through PTAand civic organizations andscouting. She was a localnewspaper reporter and editorfor more than 36 years, butshe also tutored hundreds ofyoung students to help them

overcome their learning dis-abilities.

My grandmother Lundeused to suggest to womenof her generation that theyshould spend less time play-ing bridge and more timegetting involved in improvingthe world. Perhaps her great-est success after years of lob-bying in Springfield was tosee the Gateway Amendmentpass. This allowed Illinois tofinally replace its outdated1870 constitution in 1970.

Even one woman can makea difference for the better.

Each of these women wasconfident and competent,practical and persuasive.They made their markswithin their own spheres ofinfluence, but they were notafraid to reach a little fartherand wider to be of service toothers. They did it withoutcell phones or internet, with-out stooping to harsh or foullanguage.

They shared their lifeexperiences and made the

world a better place. WhileI appreciate this heritage,I share the legacy they leftwith the many people whoselives they touched.

One mom's great, buttwo moms? Too good to betrue! From my first "SesameStreet" dictionary, to thosenasty, timed math take-hometests in grade school to sharp-ening my skills as a writer inhigh school and photographerin college, Carolyn Wessellwas there every step of theway. She instilled in me thecertain tenacity that's re-quired to, today, be a news-paper editor. Mom alwaystaught me to never give up,and when times are tough,there's always tomorrow. Thebright spots are there in lifeall around us -- enjoy them.I do and I know mom does.I'm blessed to have her inmy life, happy and healthy.No matter what, I can alwayscount on mom.

Adulthood came and therewas Phyllis, my wife Ni-cole's mom. Just like Caro-lyn, Phyllis is another one ofthose great moms -- alwaysthere for her kids. WatchingPhyllis share the love withher family warms the heart.I'm lucky to be a part of thatand wouldn't want it anyother way!

Happy Mother's Day!

Letter To Our Editor

MP Police ChiefClarifies ConcernOf Reader

Editor, Journal:

Regarding the citizen'sSpeak Out complaint ofa Mount Prospect policeofficer parked in a parkinglot in the Kensington Busi-ness Center, please knowthe police department tookthe complaint seriously andinvestigated the allegation.We learned the officer wascompleting a report fromthe previous evening's shiftand decided to complete thereport while in his beat inan effort to be available torespond to calls more quick-ly as opposed to respondingfrom the police station.

Police officers typicallycomplete reports and takebreaks in their beats to al-low for quicker responsetimes to calls for service(they are required some-times to respond to calls ifthey are on a break).

Officers often choose toeat at restaurants in theirbeats for the same reason.In fact, we encourage of-ficers to do so in an effort toprovide better service to ourresidents and businesses.Conversely, we encourageofficers completing com-plex or lengthy reports towrite at the police station to

avoid risks to their safetywhile parked for a pro-longed period of time.

The Mount Prospect Po-lice Department thoroughlyinvestigates all complaintsagainst its personnel. Theagency's integrity and pro-fessionalism is paramountto maintaining the commu-nity's trust.

Although the notion maybe to jump to negativeconclusions about policeofficers, understanding therealities of police operationsmight be helpful. I encour-age residents to participatein the Citizen's PoliceAcademy, one of our TownHall presentations, or someof the department's othercommunity events to betterunderstand policing andwhy officers do what theydo.

Please do not underesti-mate the dedication of themen and women who serveMount Prospect -- we havegreat officers living ourmotto daily: With couragewe protect; with compas-sion we serve.

Concerned theyreceived sticker notices

I wonder why all Rosemontresidents received letters fromthe city of Des Plaines sayingwe need to buy Des Plainescity vehicle stickers and theletter said there would also bea late fee because we didn'tbuy them last year. I calledboth (Des Plaines and Rose-mont) police departments andwas told it was a mistake. Iwant to know who is payingfor all the paper and postagein this mailing. I'm also con-cerned our privacy has beencompromised.

(Ed. Note: It was an errorand has since been cor-rected.)

Why keep public outof it?

What kind of "leaks" to theJournal make Ald. Charewiczunhappy? What needs to bekept under the covers that thecitizens of Des Plaines cannotknow?

Concerned abouthousing plan

Des Plaines is consideringbuilding a 277 -unit apartmentbuilding. Is that Section 8housing? Will it be low in-come housing on the previousLittelfuse property? Will thatbe overcrowding the neighbor-hood schools? Will it bringgangs to the Cumberland arealike they have over in Rose-mont on Touhy? ChippewaMiddle School already hasalmost 30 children per class-room.

Win some, lose some

So Mike "Hollywood"Jimenez lost a bout. Well, asthey say in the ballpark, youwin a few, lose a few, and afew get rained out.

Aldermen aren't gettingmuch done

Alderman Charewicz, Roddand Robinson, aren't you guysover your head as aldermen?"The do nothing gang."

Grocery store concerns

I have some concerns forthe location of the proposedMariano's at Golf and MountProspect Roads. It is alreadydifficult enough to get in orout of Warrington (especiallyduring the a.m./p.m. rush) atMount Prospect Road. Thetraffic backs up from thetracks at Northwest Highwayto Golf Road regularly duringrush hour. Trains crossing nearWolf and Golf during rushhour create major backupsas far as the CumberlandCircle (to westbound traffic)and blocks eastbound traf-fic back to Mount ProspectRoad. None of this congestionwill be improved with theadded customers and deliv-ery trucks to Mariano's. At the city council meeting on,Monday night, the aldermentried to compare this locationto other Mariano's stores butnone of the other stores are insuch close proximity to twomajor railroad crossings. Thishas got to be one of the worstlocations in the city of DesPlaines. I only wish the citywould consider the impact notonly to our local neighborhoodbut also on the commuterswho use Golf Road on a dailybasis.

Getting by just fine

Some ideas are fine, how-ever, either people are usuallycriticizing, or not realistic.But we do have a hobby storedown the street by the Jewel.And we have a Ross clothingstore, also up the road the oth-er way on Rand and Central.The Mariano's coming to Golfand Mount Prospect roads isan excellent idea, but peoplestill gripe about Metro Square.The Shop and Save and otherstores and restaurants that arethere are not that bad. I'veyet to go to a Mariano's andI don't go to Panera Bread orsome other places and I getalong just fine.

Slow down throughS -curve

Why do people go 40-50mph thru the S -curve on

Northwest Highway? Speedlimit is 25 and I drive at least30-35 and get passed up everymorning. People riding mytail...it's ridiculous.

What's more important?

Mayor Bogusz should beembarrassed. What could beso important he couldn't showup at the city council meetingto induct the new aldermen.That is his job, but he mustthink he's too important todo it. If he had any honor hewould quit.

How to honor alderman

Can someone help me here?I propose erecting a largerthan life size statue of DickSayad somewhere in the city .

of Des Plaines. I just can'tsettle on where to put it orwhat the inscription below itshould say. I'm sure the othergood readers of Speak Outmight have some creative sug-gestions.

What does that makeyou?

That person that thinksDes Plaines is like an armpitshould answer one question.What body part would yourather have Des Plaines com-pared to? To take your meta-phor even one step further letme ask you another question.If Des Plaines is a part of abody, what does that makecrabby malcontents like you?Probably a reason for a trip tothe doctor. Goodbye.

Questions apartmentplan

Apartments...270 apart-ments. Why would anyonethink this would be a goodidea? Maybe for the builder.Owner occupied buildings,condo and townhouses only.That picture reminds me ofthe projects from Chicago andwe all know how well thatworked.

Would love to see store

I live right behind the parkwhere Mariano's would po-

tentially be built. I would lovethat to happen. Not only do weget Mariano's, we get a wholenew park. Did you see theplans to improve the park? YesI know there would be moretraffic but it's worth it to me.I can walk to that Mariano's. Ithink it would be great. I reallyhope the plans go thru.

Still wondering aboutclosing

Re: Chiang Jiang Buffet:In your Apr. 27 Speak Out, areader inquired as to what hap-pened to the Chinese buffet onthe corner of Lee and Oakton.The editor's reply was that astory regarding the restaurant'sclosing was in the Journal afew months ago. I read that is-sue and the only thing I recallthe Journal stating is that theydid not get a response fromthe buffet's owners as to whythey were closing. Did I missa further update? We thoughtthey were doing a good busi-ness there.

(Ed. Note: No furtherupdates.)

Wants things to get done

To the city of Des Plainesand Des Plaines Police De-partment, you need to startmonitoring the Metro Squareparking garage after hours,the kids seem to want to racethrough the parking garageor on the weekends we havegroups of kids kissing andhanging out on the top deck.Then they start throwing stuffdown on cars or parked carsor the street, I know I've seenit happening. To the mayor,4-1/2 years and counting, DesPlaines was supposed to havea local dog park, where is it,between the double talk outof our last mayor and the onethat's running Des Plainesnow, nothing is ever going toget done.

is (Journal, April 29, 2015). Itseems that this Dyslin adher-ent is desperately trying to getus to believe there's this vastarmy that hangs on every Dys-lin uttering. Here's the straightand unvarnished truth. Theelection is over. Mount Pros-pect has resoundingly rejectedDyslin's absurd claims andlaughable attempts to con thevillage's voters. For a secondtime, even more residents sawthrough Dyslin's ridiculousmutterings and voted to notmake him a trustee. Whatwill it take to have Dyslin goaway? It's sickening to hearhis (or his followers) obnox-ious comments which the vastmajority of the village votersrepudiated on Apr. 7. Dys-lin's claim to fame was abouttransparency yet he tried tohide his Wheeling TownshipRepublican and Dan Proft'spolitical support (and fundrais-ing efforts) until the Journalreported it. Not too transparentwas it? It makes one wonderabout Dyslin's idea of trans-parency.

Who's causing policeuprisings?

Nakita might have been cor-rect. He boasted "they wouldnever have to attack us, wewill destroy ourselves within."Makes you wonder with allthese anti police uprisings late-ly, are they just a coincidence,or have we an "illegal" groupwithin promoting all this stuff.Sure wouldn't have happenedduring the HST, DWE or JFKera and Hillary, Jeb or Barackisn't going to stop it.

is time to put God back intoeverybody's lives and ourcountry.

Fix Cambridgepotholes next

What is it with potholes?There are none on Stratford inthe Cumberland area. The restof the streets are ridden withpotholes. Maybe somebodyimportant lives on Stratfordand that is why that streethas been repaved. The restof the streets in the area are adisgrace. It is a challenge toavoid the potholes on Drakeand Cambridge. Who deter-mines when the potholes willbe fixed or when the streetwill be repaved. I suggestCambridge to be next. It ishorrendous.

Says candidate calledpolice a lot

According to the com-ments Bob Porada madeat the debates, he wants to

use taxpayers' money. Howmuch money does he savethe taxpayers when he'sconstantly calling the policeto his neighborhood becausesomeone's sprinklers are onthe wrong date, the garbagecans are out too early, thecars are parked too close tothe fire hydrant, city stickerson vehicles are not updatedor cars are parked incorrectlyon the parkway? This is just ashort list. I believe the policehave more important things todo. Ask his neighbors and thepolice department how manytimes the police have beencalled to his block in the last22 years and how much of thetaxpayers' money has beenspent on these calls? Also, askany of his neighbors if anyonehas met him or if he has beenneighborly, prior to his run-ning for office.

(Ed. Note: Porada lost toDon Smith in the Apr. 7 citycouncil election.)

I heart DP

Dear city of Des Plaines:You and I go back a long way.We're like an old marriedcouple now, familiar asmeatloaf. We came together

in the vibrant '60s when, tobe honest, you weren't thehippest town around but youhad the Hut, Buffalo Bob'sand some cool kids millingabout. Maine West HighSchool cemented our rela-tionship.

happens. Years later when fateeventually brought us backtogether your infatuation withthe mall was over and thank-fully gone. But we each hadchanged yet again. This timeyou were all about condosand library while I was mar-ried without kids and lessinterested in you, aside fromproperty taxes. Nonetheless,I've watched with interest asyou've wrestled with yourown identity in recent years. Ihear criticism and quietly root

for you. I had always hopedfor something more substan-tial, more original from you,but I guess in any relation-ship it takes two to makethings happen. While every-one seems to want you to beChicago's cute little sister orsome such thing, I just wantyou to be successful on yourown terms, not chasing trendsor fashion. It's ironic that theCity of Destiny still waitsfor it. And I'll wait with youbecause I still love you.

`Avengers' Satisfying But Has Little SubstanceBy MICHAEL POULOSJournal Film Critic

"The Avengers: Age ofUltron" (142 min., RatedPG -13 for intense sequencesof sci-fi action, violence anddestruction, and for somesuggestive comments).Rating: 6 out of 10.

Regular readers of MovieScene know how I feel -- gen-erally speaking -- regardingthe onslaught of comic booksuperhero movies. And I domean generally speaking foras much as I admonish theendless barrage of them thatoffer little in the way of plotcontent and character devel-opment, they do usually offerspectacular awe. It doesn'tmean a razzle-dazzle esca-pade of astonishing specialeffects is a good thing, butthat it is one of the elementsof this genre that needs to beweighed. And it seems the barkeeps rising with each newfilm -- and the follow-up to2012's mega -hit "The Aveng-ers" -- "The Avengers: Age ofUltron" is no different. In fact,it is expected that this sequelto the $1.5 billion -earningbehemoth will exceed itspredecessor...though on whatlevel I'm not sure.

It all began 15 years agowith the release of "X -Men",then "Spider -Man" andMarvel was off -and -running.The lone soldier standing atthat time, and still today at 92,Stan Lee, took his time nego-tiating rights to many of hisco -creations back to the early1960s. Back in those times itwas his brainchild to fea-ture a number of his already

successful superheroes intoa fighting group called TheAvengers. Their key competi-tor, D.C. Comics, followedshortly after with their ownband of superheroes calledThe Justice League. Now thatD.C. Comics appears to beon the same path as Marvel,rebooting Superman andBatman -- and green -lightingthe eventual formation of aJustice League film, all it doesfor us consumers is clog upour neighborhood cineplexes.

Of course that's one man'sopinion for as much as I ama self-confessed sci-fi fantasyfilm fan. I just don't needto see as many; the less thebetter...and that goes for thequality as well. But now toour main feature..."Age ofUltron", one of several badguys -- or bad robot in thiscase -- that faced -off againstour intrepid heroes and hero-ines decades and decades ago.As the storyline goes, TonyStark (Robert Downey Jr.),AKA Iron Man, comes upwith an ingenious plan to cre-ate the ultimate peacekeeping

Conant Gets Early Jump On Wheeling En Route To CrownBy STEPHEN GORDONJournal & Topics Sports

The Conant girls varsity waterpolo team came into their MidSuburban League title matchwith Wheeling rememberingwhat happened last season atthis time. The Cougars fell to theWildcats in overtime, 8-7.

Things would be differentthis time around for MSL Westchampion Conant (24-3, 10-0)as they would hold off defend-ing MSL champion Wheeling(17-8, 10-0) with goals earlyand often on their way to a 14-8victory Wednesday in HoffmanEstates.

"This was a great win for us,"Cougars coach Justin Bickussaid. "Hopefully we have someroom to get better for next weekwhen sectionals start. But thiswas a very close match whichcould have gone either wayespecially early on. I am justso proud of this team right now.

This is a good dress rehearsalfor us for next week."

The Cougars enter theSchaumburg sectional tourna-ment as the top seed and playnext Wednesday at 5:45 p.m.

However, the sectional wasnot on the minds of the Cougarsearly as they wanted to make astatement about who was goingto be the better team, jumpingout to an early 2-0 lead on thestrength of 2 goals by SamanthaWooley.

The lead would be short-livedas the Wildcats would comeright back to tie the match at2-2 on goals by all -conferencemembers Theresa Godlewski(3:49) and Argelia Diaz (2:35).But a goal by Miranda Fenlonwith 2:11 remaining in the firstperiod would give the Cougarsa 3-2 lead which is how theopening period ended.

Maine West Powering UpNew Weightlifting TeamTo Compete At State Meet

By DION MARTORANOJournal & Topics Sports

Talk about a quick movingtrain. Maine West didn't havea weightlifting (powerlifting)team two months ago andnow the group (not even aclub yet) will compete at thestate meet Saturday, May 9 atNew Trier.

"About a month ago JimDavis, the strength and con-ditioning coach at New Trier,reached out to us and invited us

to put together ateam to competeat state," MaineWest powerlift-ing coach MattBoswell said. "Iknow a lot offootball playersand track ath-letes are alwaysin the gym hit-

ting the weights and I thoughtwe could grab a few guys to doit. We got nine guys to join ina month or less."

The event, run by the IllinoisHigh School Powerlifting As-sociation (IHSPLA), is state of-ficiated, meaning if any recordsare broken tomorrow, that lifterwill officially hold the Illinoishigh school record.

For Boswell, who works withMaine West's football team, itis a good chance to educate andhelp raise awareness of work-ing out and staying in shape

which something could gowrong...very wrong. Starkdisregards the warning anddecides to proceed with hiscreation, Ultron (voiced by anunrecognizable James Spader),without telling the group.

As predicted, Ultron -- theclosest thing to ArtificialIntelligence, breaks free of itsprogramming (like, duh) anddecides it wants to eradicateall human life -- and create itsown army of sentinels. Yes,once again humans have med-dled with science and createda mechanical monster leavingthe Avengers to save the day...and thanks to Mr. Stark for themess he's gotten them into.As with the first film, it's anensemble piece with no onein particular playing the lead,and shared equally across theboard. There are too manycharacter names and associated

actors and actresses to list here-- but I assume most of youknow who they are. Thoughthe overriding theme of thefilm is to figure out how to de-feat Ultron who is laying wasteto cities, there are a number ofdecent subplots worth noting.Black Widow (Scarlet Johans-son) has a thing for Bruce Ban-ner, which adds a tad of poten-tial romance to all the mayhemgoing on. Hawkeye (JeremyRenner) has a wife and kidswe didn't know about, whichadds some family tendernessto the story. That's a plus, too.And three new characters havebeen added to the mix, as ifwe needed more characters:The Vision (Paul Bettany), akissing cousin to Ultron, but agood guy; Quicksilver (AaronTaylor -Johnson), who runsreal, real fast; and his twinsister Scarlet Witch (ElizabethOlsen), who has mystical

strengths I can't explain.When you add in the light-

heartedness that Thor (ChrisHemsworth), Captain Marvel(Chris Evans) and Iron Manbring to the table, along withsome amazing yet over -the -top crushing special effects ofmass destruction, you get thefeeling you've been sledge-hammered into an unconsciousstate by the time it's over.It's satisfying while you'rewatching...you know, thatgee -whiz -that's -cool -effects -sequence, until you stop andthink afterwards how littlesubstance there was to thestory. Yes, the characters areiconic and everyone does whatthey're supposed to do, butin effect, that's the problem.It's mostly more of the samestuff most fans will probablybe okay with...but for a seriesto grow and mature, it's a stepsideways...not forward.

Conant(Continued from page 2B)

Cougars taking over for good asthey would find open shootinglanes led by 3 goals from BobbiSmigla which would propelthem to an 8-4 halftime lead.

"I was calling for the ball alot in that period," Smigla said."And I was getting good shotsoff. But I do not think I wouldhave gotten any chances orgoals without the help of myteammates. I don't think therewas any one period where wereally played our best. I thinkwe played solid all four periodstonight."

The Cougars continued todominate the match scoring 3more goals in the third period,2 coming from Carmen Rosasgiving them an 11-5 lead head-ing into the final period.
