Dresser was area's soccer pioneer
Earlier this summer, May 19 to be exact, nearly 100 people convened at Carman-Ainsworth High School for an alumni soccer match. Over the past 30 years, under the leadership and direction of coach Paul Dresser, there have been a number of alumni soccer matches of this kind. Dresser sent out a note to alumni all over the world welcoming them home for the match. Former players came from Brazil and China, Los Angeles, Florida, Chicago, Kentucky and throughout Michigan. In typical Dresser fashion, he wanted the game to be about the players. It wasn't about Dresser. It was about putting people together, young and old, who share a common passion: the sport of soccer. In fact, there was no mention of retirement during the weekend, until one month after everyone had departed.
Kids learn the ropes of making exercise fun
It's hard enough for kids to learn fitness is fun, part of a daily routine and -- heaven forbid -- good for them. But instead of a lecture or running on the spot, imagine a group of youngsters jumping rope, waving their arms while chanting rhyming verses. Now that's a lesson to remember. This summer, 415 kids in lower-income housing developments across DuPage County got a taste of the game thanks to the 4-H program and a federal grant. While it sounds a little chaotic, the rope tossing is in fact structured, as in double Dutch, the jump rope game that uses two ropes spinning in an egg-beater fashion. Of course, kids had to learn how to skip a single rope first. "We have a lot of 5-year-olds, and they need a little help with (knowing) when to jump," said Ellen Dassow, a college student and intern with the program.
