Belgio drops out

Tim Belgio, owner of Belgio's Catering, has announced he is no longer in the running for a seat on the Naperville Park District board. On his Web site, Belgio said he recently learned it would interfere with the family business so he has decided to withdraw. His exit leaves seven people running for four 4-year terms including incumbents Suzanne Hart and Gerry Heide and challengers Jim Ensign, Rich Janor, John Polich, Mike Reilly and Kirsten Young. Incumbent Andrew Schaffner is the only person running for the lone 2-year seat.
