Village advances 83rd Street Bridge project Alliance Contractors awarded bid By Gina Catalano for the bugle

nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

The Woodridge Village Board approved a bid for the 83rd Street Bridge improvement project during its Feb. 5 meeting. The village has been working with V3 Engineering and the Illinois Toll Authority over the past year regarding the 83rd Street Bridge across Interstate 355 between Janes Avenue and Woodward Avenue. Since new requirements must be met for bridge decks and pedestrian travel lanes, four bids were received by the village to undergo this construction. Alliance Contractors of Woodstock, Illinois, bid $205,523.40 on the project. “The motion will award the bid for the 83rd street bridge improvement to Alliance Contractors,” Village Administrator Kathleen Rush said.

Traffic Signal Modernization The board also approved two resolutions related to a traffic signal modernization project that includes improvements to three traffic signals at the intersections of Janes Avenue and Plaza Drive, Janes Avenue and Center Drive, and Janes Avenue and 71st Street. During Thursday’s meeting, the board approved a resolution allowing the village to appropriate Motor Fuel Tax funds to cover its share of a federal Surface Transportation Program grant. A grant of $245,497 was originally awarded to the village but the original bid was rejected in order to apply for additional funding. The village was then awarded $359,497 by the Illinois Department of Transportation. The village was required to cover the remaining $120,487, which it will do using MFT funds. The project will include removing and replacing the traffic

signal controllers and controller cabinet, poles and mast arms, electrical wiring, traffic signal fixtures and pedestrian fixtures. Improvements will also include an interconnect system that will improve travel times and reduce fuel consumption in the area. The project bid opening will take place March 6 at the IDOT Central Office and will announce the contract amount and contractor. Construction is expected to begin in the spring and be completed in a couple months. Additionally, the board approved a resolution that authorized mayor Gina Cunningham to execute a Local Agency Amendment #1 for federal participation between the village and IDOT. The amendment confirmed the amounts to be paid by the two parties towards the Janes Avenue, Center Drive and 71St Street traffic signal modernization and interconnect project.

Students win 185 Scholastic Art awards Reception recognizing 2015 award winners held Sunday

District 99 student artists claimed 185 awards at the 2015 Scholastic Art competition held in January. Downers Grove North High School hosted the event, which was organized by the Suburban Chicago Art Region of the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. More than 1,000 student artists from 33 area high schools submitted 2,836 works of art for adjudication. South High students Emma Hansen and Besiana Useni both received an American Vision Award, which is considered the “Best of Show” by the judging panel. Only five pieces from the entire region earn the award. “We are exceedingly proud of both the process followed by our student artists, and, of the products they all create,” said Glenn Williams, fine arts department chairman at South High. “Scholastic Art Awards represent a high point of artistic achievement for a high school visual artist.” Additionally, 65 District 99 students received Golden Key awards, 60 received Silver Key awards and 58 received honorable mentions. These pieces and all the award winning pieces from the entire region were unveiled at the competition’s opening reception on Sunday at North High. The works will continue in exhibit for

Village appropriates $2.1 million for spring resurfacing project Project expected to go to bid in April By Daniel Smrokowski for the bugle

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @DownersGrvBugle

The Westmont Village Board approved an ordinance for the Illinois Department of Transportation resolution for the village’s 2015 Motor Fuel Tax spring resurfacing project at its Feb. 5

meeting. The resolution will allow the village to appropriate the sum of $2.1 million from the MFT fund for the spring resurfacing project, according to the village. The state of Illinois requires rules regarding the use of collecting motor fuel tax funds for certain projects the village may need. “The state of Illinois collects a state-wide tax on gas purchases, and the state distributes portions of this motor fuel tax fund to

individual municipalities on a formulation based on population,” Village Manager Steve May said. The IDOT resolution can only provide some of the funding for certain types of work. The work that this resolution can help fund is the building of new streets and repairing existing streets, including street resurfacing. The village may also use these funds for engineering design and inspection services that are related to these projects. Some of the projects able to benefit from

MFT funds include asphalt for cold patching, gravel for shoulder work and road salt. The resolution is an early step in the process of this project, the village said, adding that the entire scope and design of the project are not complete at this point. For this resolution, the village will be “using the funds collected from the issuance of bonds to get more resurfacing done at a faster rate,” said May. The village does not have a

specific timeline for the completion of this project but it is expected to take place in the spring. The village said it expects to have more detail about this project towards to end of March and then potentially go to the board for bid in April.

District 99 requests rezoning for North, South High campuses School district also looks to amend sign ordinance to allow electronic message boards by Christine M. Demma for the bugle

nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

A request to rezone Community School District 99 properties and allow for electronic message board signs was discussed Tuesday at the Downers Grove Village Council meeting. The school district submitted an application to rezone its North and South high school campuses to INP2, and requested a text amendment to the sign ordinance be drafted in order to permit electronic message boards. Both campuses currently have changeable reader signs. Currently, the village’s sign ordinance does not allow electronic message board signs anywhere throughout the village, according to planning manager Stan Popovich. The INP-2 zoning classification, or campus-scale institutional and public district, is a newer district as outlined during the village’s zoning ordinance adoption in June 2014. Popovich said an INP-2 district must be larger than four acres in size. District 99 Superintendent Mark McDonald said the school district has made several inquiries to the village for almost a decade. By the urging of the village, it initiated the process of exploring rezoning campuses to INP-2 and enable a small group of entities be classified with a different zoning. In 2008, three years after the sign ordinance was enacted, the school requested an amendment to the ordinance that allowed electronic message board signs at the campuses. Popovich said this would have permitted electronic signs as a

special use because both campuses are zoned residential. At the time, one electronic message board sign would be allowed if the property was greater than 18 acres, located on an arterial street, and the sign was 50 square feet and no taller than 6 feet, he said. The village council denied the request. Mayor Martin Tully voted against the amendment in 2008 but said technology has changed today as has the zoning districts. The new category with INP-2 zoning would be limited to a specific group, and any sign ordinance amendment would be limited to that class, Tully added. He said would be in favor of exploring what digital signs had to offer. The only property in the village currently zoned INP-2 is Good Samaritan Hospital and the village’s water tank, Popovich said. It would also rezone other parcels in the village, including Downers Grove School District 58 schools and Midwestern University, as well as park district, forest preserve and some village properties.

What’s in a Sign District 99 Communications Manager Jill Browning said the district shares news using many outlets already, including its website, email and social media, adding that it wants to have a new communications channel through a digital sign. “We have a never-ending continuance stream of good news that happens from our schools,” she said. “It will not only allow us to grow our connections with our parents and our families, but also everyone

who does not have connection with our schools at all.” In researching signs, the district looked for best practices, said District 99 Director of Physical Plant Jim Kolodziej. The signage would display static text and images, no animation or scrolling, automatic dimming of display at night, and messages would appear on the screen for at least 12 seconds before the next message displayed. Plans to add a digital sign at North High School would allow the current base to be retained and add a twosided, full-color display LED sign on top, he said. An identical sign would be placed at South High School, which currently does not have a sign. Digital signs would allow us to quickly, easily and remotely share information in case of a crisis or emergency, said Browning. The signs can also serve as a resource for other government agencies. “There is always something for us to communicate,” she added.

However, he said electronic message centers are unsightly and cause safety hazards to motorists and pedestrians. Barnett said he would recommend the village continue to work with District 99 to find other technologies, such as street furniture, while keeping with the outline of the ordinance. Another concern among commissioners was that approval for District 99 would allow for electronic signs be placed at Downers Grove School District 58 schools. That district has 13 schools within or adjacent to residential neighborhoods, . Commissioners Greg Hose and Geoff Neustadt both agreed if the village isn’t interested in placing digital signs along business corridors such as Ogden Avenue and 75th Street, why should it consider putting digital signs in residential neighborhoods. Neustadt said he has supported the sign ordinance for businesses

and commercial uses along 75th Street, Ogden Avenue and Butterfield Road corridors, but to infiltrate electronic signs in to residential neighborhoods is not appropriate. Commissioners David Olsen and Sean Durkin were in favor of hearing more about electronic signs. Olsen said it is important to go through a public process to understand the needs of the community. Durkin agreed, adding that the community should look at the signs to see if it’s the right thing for the community. He said technology was used that allowed the signs brighten during the day and dim at night, the digital signs could be an asset to the community if done the right way. A vote to approve if the village staff should prepare a text amendment is expected at the Feb. 10 meeting. If approved, the process motion would need to go to the planning commission first for a public hearing, followed by council review and approval.

Council Considers Electronic Signs While the majority of the Council is for the rezoning aspect of the proposal, some were hesitant about allowing electronic signs. Commissioner Becky Rheintgen said years ago a sign ordinance committee was tasked with gathering community feedback, and it was determined LED lights were obtrusive and highly distracting. “I’m not sure the community’s desires have changed,” she said. “We need to be very sensitive how this could impact the residential neighborhoods in our community.” Commissioner Bob Barnett added the committee also noted the ban should be reviewed in five years to account for new technology.

Village looks to update historic preservation ordinance Efforts to save W.H. Edwards Home prompt review of process for creating historic districts, landmark designation By Christine M. Foushi for the bugle

nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

Ongoing efforts to save a historic Downers Grove home have prompted the village council to take a second look at the zoning and historic preservation ordinances. Droves of village residents voiced their opinions on preserving the W.H. Edwards Home, 942 Maple Ave., and some even tried creating a historic district last year to save the house. As a result, the village will spend the next several months discussing the ordinances and possible modifications to each. Now through April, the council will focus on the historic preservation ordinance, including how historic districts are created and regulated. Stan Popovich, planning manager for the village, discussed the process of creating historic districts at the council’s Feb. 3 meeting. He said the current ordinance, which was adopted in June 2007, has three major components: Historic landmarks, historic districts and certificates of appropriateness. Additionally, the ordinance identifies five key purposes for preservation. According to the ordinance, the focus is to identify and preserve historic and architectural characteristics of the village, including cultural, social, economic, political and architectural history; promote civic pride; stabilize and improve the economic vitality and value of the village’s landmarks and historic areas; protect and enhance the attractiveness to home buyers, visitors and shoppers, which will support business and benefit the economy; and foster and encourage preservation and restoration of structures, areas, and neighborhoods. Popovich said an application process is the first step in creating a historic district, adding that any party can apply for a historic district. Consent from 51 percent

of property owners in the district is also required, along with a written description, photographs and a district map with distinct boundaries. Commissioner Bob Barnett said it should be harder to create a historic district, adding he would like to see the consent threshold raised higher than 51 percent. Barnett said he is concerned about the impact a historic designation could have on property owners in the district who did not want to participate. The next step in the historic district process is a preliminary hearing of the architectural design and review board, where residents residing in the district and within 250 feet are invited to discuss the proposal, according to Popovich. The board would then determine if the area qualifies for the historic district designation. The requirements include having a significant number of properties in the district that meet landmark criteria. The district must also contribute visually to the community and have clear and distinct boundaries. If approved, a public hearing would then be scheduled and residents would again

be notified to attend. The architectural design and review board would hear testimony and pass along a determination and recommendation to the village council, Popovich added. A council vote, which requires a simple majority, is the final step in the process, and property owners would then be notified of the decision. Commissioner Becky Rheintgen said a “significant number” in the criteria is too vague and would like to see a more defined figure. She added that she supports allowing residents to be able to opt out if they did not want to be part of the historic district.

Becoming a Landmark Currently, only two historic landmarks have been designated in the village. Popovich said any party can apply for historic landmark distinction, which would also require a public hearing. The architectural design and review board would make a determination based on whether the building has historic, heritage or cultural characteristics; distinguished architectural characteristics; is a notable work of a master builder; is in a unique location or has singular physical characteristics; and if the structure is a source of civic pride. The recommendation would be sent to the village council for approval. Commissioner Greg Hose said he wants the village to raise awareness and promote an interest in having residents designate their properties or districts as historic. “We have a great history here in Downers Grove and tremendous resources with the historic preservation ordinance,” Hose said. “I would like to see more people taking advantage of it.” Barnett agreed with Hose, adding that the ordinance is not appealing if the village has only two landmark designations in seven years. He said the village has many historic properties, and people care about those homes and have chosen those homes for a reason.

Changing the Ordinance Popovich proposed a few modifications to the ordinance, including more references to the comprehensive plan, updating public hearing notice requirements and improving application requirements. Updating the application requirements could include allowing only Illinois or Downers Grove residents, or an authorized representative of the property owner, to apply for landmark status. Popovich also suggested revising designation criteria in order to

make it easier to understand from a technical standpoint. If a property is on the national register list, he said it would be a simple thing for the village to add a local landmark status. The Council will hear more about the historic preservation ordinance at its March 3 meeting. At that time, Popovich will present information on applicability of certificates of appropriateness in historic districts, as well as regulations that pertain to design and demolition of new and existing structures in historic districts. Review of the zoning ordinance will occur between May and October.

Considering this year’s batch targeted the wrong strains anyway, he doesn’t feel like he’s missed anything. And at nearly 73, he doesn’t have young kids, but if he did, Haase said, he has no doubt what he’d do: “I would make sure they got all their inoculations,” he said. There are side-effects with all medications, just listen to TV commercials. Sometimes, they can be fatal. Sometimes, they may hurt more than help. When that happens to a significant number of people, the federal government will pull the plug. Taking these medications are personal choices and, hopefully, with the advice of their doctors. If they don’t take them, in most cases, the only people they are hurting are themselves. Likewise, some people may have bad reactions to vaccinations. They could become permanently disabled or even die. But to advocate there is a strong correlation when the medical documentation isn’t there not only hurts the children parents are trying to protect, but potentially everyone else around them.

Not when millions of lives could be at stake. Meanwhile, Jenny, shut up.

Jefferson chess team wins two 1st place trophies

Team also tied for first in end-ofseason standings By Diane Moca

Submitted to The Bugle

nweditorl@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

Ten talented chess players had all the right moves on Jan. 31 while trying to fill some big shoes at the annual conference tournament,

representing a team that had taken first at the competition two of the past three years. Not only did the Jefferson Junior High chess team checkmate its way to another tournament win at the competition, but the team also tied for first place in the end-of-season standings for the Southeast DuPage Elementary Athletic Association conference. “The third time is a charm,” enthused a beaming Joe Wechman, coach of the Woodridge team for

the past 12 years. The team was headed by first board player Amber Moca, who has been on the junior high team since she was in 4th grade. Moca finished the season with a 10-3 record, nearly mirroring the team’s 12-2 record. The team was strengthened by other players who joined while still in elementary school, including fourth board player Kyle Leonard and sixth board player Walter Marsh. Solid wins from Kendall Burrow

on second board, Prathika Senthil on third board, Ilya Kristesashvili on fifth board, Robert Broniarczyk II on seventh board, Ian Bromfield on eighth board, Carson Aldrich on ninth board and Rohan Sethi on 10th board also led to the strong finish to the season and at the tournament. Wechman was overwhelmed at the beginning of the season with nearly 30 interested players competing for the top 10 spots – a far cry from several years ago when Wechman said he had trouble fielding enough players for a full team. Each coach must rank his top 10 players, with the strongest player

at the “first board” spot and so on to tenth board. At the meets, the players from a team are paired against the same level board player from the other team. At the conference tournament, eight teams competed and one point was awarded for each chess game won. The tournament also awards 10 individual medals, one to each board level player with the best tournament record. The Jefferson team had five board winners at the Jan. 31 tournament – Senthil on third board, Kristesashvili on fifth board, Marsh on sixth board, Broniarczyk II on seventh board and Bromfield on eighth board.

Village resident brings new spice products to Midwest Financial executive shifts career with All Spice Café

Downers Grove resident Mike Brindza spent nearly 30 years in the financial industry before completely switching gears and signing on with two partners to bring All Spice Café products to the Midwest for the first time. I was itching for a new challenge when I was fortunate enough to have a good friend present this All Spice Café opportunity to me, said Brindza, who was the executive vice president of MF Global. Brindza joined Buddy Feldman and All Spice Café founder J.D. Cowles to bring the product to the Midwest. To date they have launched the product in local Mariano s stores in Illinois and in Pick N Save, Metro Markets and Copps Supermarkets in Wisconsin. In total, their product is now sold in more than 100 stores in the Midwest. Brindza sees a lot of benefits in starting over in a brand new industry. “For one thing it’s a great challenge to learn all of the different methods of selling, pricing and getting products into grocery stores, and it’s also a

(Photo Courtesy of Bernie DiMeo) pleasure to meet a whole new group of people,” said Brindza, who sees a lot of benefit to starting over in a brand new industry. “I’m surprised that this business is such a small knit community. It’s not at all like the industry I came from.” Initially, All Spic Café featured three products: Caribbean Spice, Chipolte Garlic and Cayenne Habanero. “Our sauces are really better than anything on the market,” Brindza said. “They are more of a marinade style. And, they’re vegan friendly and glutton free. Brindza said he is happy with his move and anxious to make his mark in this business. “It’s true what they say, change really can be good,” he said.

Tip of the Crown New dental technology makes getting a crown much easier. Procedure traditionally required a minimum of two visitsâ&#x20AC;Ś not anymore.

In almost every field, technology is being harnessed to make our lives more convenient and enjoyable. Dentistry is no different. One of the most exciting trends in dentistry today is the use of computer-aided design and manufacturing, or CAD/CAM, which has made the process of getting crowns and other dental restoration faster and more pleasant. Traditionally, being fitted for a crown required at least two visits: One visit to shape the tooth and take impressions and a second visit a few weeks later to have the crown cemented into place. The reason for the long wait between the two steps was that the impression had to be sent to a dental laboratory where the crown was fabricated. The advent of machines such as Cerecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OmniCam has completely changed the process. What used to take two uncomfortable visits over several weeks can now be accomplished in one visit that requires about two hours. Instead of having to take two days off of work, make two babysitting arrangements and receive two anesthetic injections, patients can now get the entire process done in one easy visit. As many of know, having a crown made used to require the dentist to

take impressions using a goopy paste that patients dislike. Using a Cerec machine, dentists can now simply wave a highly sophisticated digital imaging camera over the tooth to precisely capture measurement data. Using this data, the crown is designed by the dentist using the Cerec software. Every aspect of the crown is carefully planned, designed and reviewed prior to being created. The design is completely controlled by the dentist, instead of a technician at a far-off lab. While lab technicians do terrific jobs fabricating crowns, the dentist who just finished preparing the tooth a few minutes ago has more intimate knowledge of your mouth and areas surrounding the prepared tooth. After the crown has been designed, ceramic blocks are placed inside the Cerec milling unit, and the block is precisely milled under water cooling

and lubrication so that the outside as well as inside of the crown is milled according to the design dimensions. Next, the crown is stained and glazed to add additional color, making it look like your natural teeth. Finally, a Cerec glazing oven is used to harden the milled crown. The entire process usually takes less than 30 minutes, and patients will typically read a magazine or play on their phones during the process. The new crown is cemented into place. In the past, this process required two different numbing shots. During the first visit, the area receiving the crown was numbed to shape the existing tooth down, and a temporary crown was applied. Then, in the second visit, the area was numbed again to remove the temporary crown and install the permanent crown. In addition to eliminating the need

for two separate visits and two numbing shots, the new process has eliminated the need for temporary crowns. Even well-crafted temporary crowns are sometimes uncomfortable or fall out. The Cerec can be used for more than just single crowns. Bridges, implant crowns and veneers can all be made in the dental office, and the imaging data can be emailed to labs anywhere in the world to have bite guards or orthodontic trays fabricated. My office purchased a Cerec a few years ago, and since then we have provided hundreds of patients with new crowns and other dental restorations in one easy visit. I typically will use the Cerec to make all my crowns for back teeth, but I will have crowns for anterior (front) teeth made at dental labs that specialize in cosmetic dentistry. In my opinion, computer systems still cannot replace the artistry required for cosmetic crowns and veneers. Jay Rodgers, DDS is the owner of Northbrook Dental Care LLC in Northbrook, Illinois.

MUSTANGS By Mike sandrolini SportS reporter

mike@nilesbugle.com @Voyager_sport

What looked like a victory for Downers North’s boys basketball team at home opposite Glenbard West last Friday night turned into a defeat strikingly similar to a loss the Trojans suffered at home at the hands of Proviso West in early December. DGN, like it had vs. Proviso West, took the lead as time was about to expire, only to have officials put time back on the clock following a timeout. And, like the Proviso West game, Glenbard West put in a last-second three-pointer to win it. That was the backdrop for the Trojans’ meeting with rival Dowers South last Saturday evening. But putting the sting of Friday’s loss behind them was easier than expected for coach Jim Thomas and his squad, which overtook Downers South in the second half and registered a 66-53 victory. “You’re playing in front of your home crowd, and the home crowd on the other side comes over, so it’s basically a home and home at your place,” Thomas said. “But we talked about it (the loss to Glenbard West). It was tough; the officials make calls and it’s not like there’s replay so they

make the best judgment call that they can. It happened to be in favor of the other team and it is what it is. “We said, ‘Put the Twitters down, put the phones down and we’ve got a big game.’ We came in, got loose, played music during practice and it was business as usual. I thought we were focused and ready to go.” Downers South, whom coach Kris Olson said is “starting to play very well” despite its 5-19, 2-7 record, exhibited that uptick in play by taking a 16-13 first-quarter lead and a 3230 halftime advantage. Forward TJ Clifford tallied the final two points of the half on a steal and left-handed slam dunk with 30.9 seconds to go. “TJ’s been good all year,” Olson said of his 6-6 sophomore. “Tonight and Friday night (in a 56-50 loss to Hinsdale South). That’s who TJ is. He’s a difference-maker. This whole weekend he was outstanding.” “That kid’s a player,” Thomas added. “What an athlete he is … he’s going to be really good. So is No. 11 (referring to DGN sophomore guard Denis Alibegovic).” Senior David Edwards turned out to be a difference-maker for the Trojans.

Dayo fweek, m onth x x , 2014 | bug lenewspapers.com trojans | from page 13 the University of Wisconsin earlier in the week—scored the first five points of the third quarter to catapult DGN back into the lead, 35-32. He finished with a career-high 12 points—the first time he has ever scored in double figures—and had 11 rebounds. “I think that’s the best game he’s had here as a Trojan,” Thomas said. “He’s never been in double digits for us … he’s had nine (points) and

nine (rebounds) and five blocks (in a game) but he definitely played really well tonight. He’s going to be a bigtime athlete at Wisconsin.” The game see-sawed throughout much of the third quarter until DGN senior Jordon Kedrowski, another Trojans’ difference-maker Saturday, nailed a three to put the Trojans ahead 44-40. An alley-oop dunk by Clifford made it 44-42, but the Trojans closed the

quarter with a 46-42 lead following two Devin Blake free throws. DGN then upped its margin to 52-42 thanks to an Edwards’ putback and threepoint play, and another Kedrowski trey. “Devin and Bowen (Marks) and Dave did a great job in the second half and we really clamped down on them,” said Kedrowski, who fired in a game-high 24 points, including five threes. “That was the key to our success.” “David Edwards played like a senior in the second half and he wasn’t going to let his team lose,” Olson said. “He was outstanding and he’s a great kid. I told him right after the game he was the difference and he was.” Myles Farley added 12 points for the Trojans (13-8, 2-7). Alibegovic was the Mustangs’ leading scorer with 22 and Clifford finished with 16. Olson said the Mustangs’ wonloss record is misleading from the perspective that he’s seen his club turn a corner in recent weeks. “The process has been somewhat invigorating,” he said. “We’re starting to play like an experienced team and it’s not been as tough as people think it is. It’s been the exact opposite with their attitude. They’ve been very resilient.”

Winters, Trojans sail to victory over Mustangs By mike sandrolini sports reporter

mike@buglenewspapers.com @Voyager_Sport

U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam was on hand for the annual meeting between Downers North and Downers South’s girls basketball teams last Saturday afternoon and made a special announcement prior to the game that could, in part, be basketball related, but had more to do about what the future may hold for Peyton Winters after she graduates from DGN this spring. Roskam, who represents the 6th Congressional District, told the crowd that Winters, the Trojans’ 6-3 forward, has been nominated to attend the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. Winters said she was surprised to see the six-term congressman at Downers North, but knew something was up when she saw him standing near the scorer’s table. According to the United States Naval Academy website, a nomination from either a U.S. Congressman or Senator is required to receive an appointment, which is an invitation to attend the Naval Academy. However, a nomination doesn’t automatically guarantee a candidate will secure one of the estimated 1,500 appointments given out each year by the Naval Academy. Winters will be notified of her appointment status by the middle of April. If she is appointed, Winters said she also wants to play for the Mids women’s basketball team. “I kind of figured out what was happening when I saw him (Roskam) there because he was the one who gave me my nomination, but I had no idea,” Winters said. “I was really nervous.” As for the game, won by the Trojans, 43-34, Winters dropped anchor on the Mustangs’ offense, blocking six of shots in the first half and nine total. The Trojans, playing without leading scorer Jaida Green and forward Madison Farnsworth, shot out to a 28-12 halftime lead behind senior guard Lauren Porcelli, who scored 11 of her game-high 14 points in the first half. (Porcelli also had five steals.) Winters, meanwhile, tallied eight of her 12 points during the first half. Green, a junior who recently verbally committed to Penn State,

has two stress fractures in her left shin. She was at the game Saturday on crutches. Green is scheduled to be reexamined this week, and it’s not known if she’ll miss the remainder of the season. Farnsworth, also a junior, broke a bone in her wrist. Downers North coach Stephan Bolt said Green’s shin “had been bothering her for a while.” “Nobody really knew about it,” he said. “She was playing through it and all of a sudden she went home after practice last Thursday (Jan. 29). We were playing Proviso West the next day and it was bad.” Bolt said that going forward, the Trojans (13-12, 4-8) need to be patient offensively, not turn the ball over and hunker down defensively minus Green and Farnsworth. “Possessions are gold for us right now, and even if it’s a long one, we’ve got to make defenses work, take advantage when they make a bad rotation,” he said. “But defensively we’ve got to be even better now. We’re switching up a little bit, trying a couple of different things to give us a couple more possessions, but we did a nice job executing today.” Porcelli, Winters and senior Izzy Greenblatt (10 points vs. DGS) have been stepping up on the offensive end. “When one kid goes down somebody’s got to pick up the slack,” Bolt said. “Izzy’s done a great job of that and some of the sophomores kids have come in and done a nice job of contributing off the bench. Peyton, the ball’s got to go into her and we’ve got to give her touches. She did a nice job finishing today and going to the basket.” Winters recorded a triple-double in the Trojans’ West Suburban Silver victory over Glenbard West last Friday, pumping in 24 points to go along with 12 blocks and 12 boards. Porcelli added 14 points and five steals. The loss to Downers North isn’t indicative of the season Downers South is experiencing under second-year coach Lyndsie Long. The Mustangs are vastly improved from last year’s 8-17, 5-7 club. They locked up second place in the West Suburban Gold this season with a 10-2 record, losing their only two conference games to WSG champion Proviso East. Sophomore Kiera James netted

Downers South’s Kasandra Rugienius is guarded by North’s Izzy Greenblatt during North’s 43-34 win. nine points versus Downers North, while senior Ava Porlier tallied eight. The Mustangs defeated Hinsdale South, 74-62, last Friday. Earlier last week, DGS knocked off Morton, 68-51, behind James’ season-high 30 points. “I’m proud of my girls,” Long said. “They worked hard to get second place. We still have hopefully a long way to go, and we have a week or so to practice for regionals.” Downers South begins play at the Romeoville regional on Wednesday, Feb. 18, facing the winner of a play-in game between Romeoville and Waubonsie Valley. A victory in that game would put the sixth-seeded Mustangs in the

regional title contest, presumably against No. 3 seeded Oswego. “I foresee a regional title if we play good and our shots are falling and everything is meshing,” Long

said. “We’ve got to make sure everything is there. If our shots aren’t falling like tonight, we just can’t give up. We’ve got to play harder.”

Redwings get in the zone, stop Marist By mike sandrolini sports reporter

mike@buglenewspapers.com @Voyager_Sport

Benet Academy hadn’t gone up against a zone defense in quite a while prior to hosting Marist in an ESCC matchup last Friday night. During the first half, the Redwings didn’t push the ball inside the paint much, nor were they getting the type of shots they sought. The end result: Benet trailed the Redhawks 25-19 at intermission. But the Redwings went into attack mode during the third quarter, and that opened up the perimeter for shooters like Dan Sobolewski and Colin Bonnett. The duo combined for four treys in the period, with Sobolewski nailing three, to lift Benet to a 3732 lead at quarter’s end. Benet then put the clamps defensively on Marist, limiting the Redhawks to six points during the fourth quarter while going on to win, 45-38. The loss was Marist’s first conference defeat this season. “We went through a stretch at the beginning of the year when all we saw was zone,” said Bonnett, who finished with 13 points. “Then we went pretty much man up until this game. “We were a little timid in attacking the zone, whether it was getting into the lane or getting motion. We were kind of passing the ball in circles and they forced

us to take a couple of outside shots that probably weren’t the best shot. But then we came out in the second half and did a good job of getting ball movement.” The Redwings got a threepoint play from James Dockery to begin the third quarter, and then Sobolewski caught fire, rifling in consecutive threes to cap a 9-0 run and put Benet in front, 28-25. “I was feeling good tonight,” said Sobolewski, whose gamehigh 16 points included four threes. “The coaches and players have always instilled confidence in me to shoot and that’s really helped throughout the season.” “Danny’s been a good shooter for us all year,” said Benet coach Gene Heidkamp. “He’s a good player and we’ve had the confidence in him to take those shots.” Marist regained a 29-28 lead on two straight buckets from Kevin Lerma, but Cameron Graves’ free throw knotted the game at 29. Benet went on an 8-0 run from there that put Marist away, with Sobolewski and Bonnett sinking threes, and Dockery driving inside for two. “Their defense was really solid in the first half and we didn’t attack it very well,” Heidkamp said. “There was an emphasis to come out and attack it and not just settle for throwing the ball around the perimeter and shooting jump shots. We had to get to the basket a little bit and get some shots. “Danny made some threes, but a

Cameron Graves and Benet defeated Marist Friday, 45-38. lot of his threes were (on) kickouts because we were able to penetrate a little bit and kick it back out. In the first half, we just kind of threw it around the perimeter and tried to settle for whatever shot came our way. Our defense in the second half was much better.”

Notre Dame remains on top of the ESCC with a 6-0 record, but the Redwings (17-6, 5-1) now find themselves in a three-way tie for second with Marist and St. Viator, which needed overtime to down Joliet Catholic, 67-60, last Friday. “At this point you want to

Keep flood insurance? What you’re paying for the policy is such a small percentage of your world By dave ramsey dave says

Dear Dave, I’m debt-free except for my home, and I’ll have that paid off in about 12 months. I currently Says make $60,000 Dave money advice by a year and live dave ramsey in an area of Florida that is designated a flood plain, because a river that empties into Tampa Bay runs behind my home.

resurface | from page 3 approved an ordinance approving a lease agreement with state Rep. Patti Bellock for office space at the Westmont Centre. Since Bellock’s lease expired on Dec. 31, the village granted her a 2-month short-term lease extension by letter for January and February. The board approved a longer 2-year lease, which would run through the adjournment of the General Assembly. Bellock’s office will remain at the Westmont Centre, and Gunter said they will just be reconfiguring the layout for her office.

Currently, I’m paying $1,070 a month for flood insurance. My house is worth $325,000, and water has only come up into the yard twice in over 20 years. Since I’m doing pretty well financially, do you think I need to keep my flood insurance policy? Trudy Dear Trudy, From what you’ve told me about the history of your property, it sounds like your biggest concern might be if a hurricane caused a backwash in your area.

Hiring new building commissioner The Westmont village board approved a motion to temporarily lift its hiring freeze to hire a building commissioner. This would be a new position that the village would be hiring to fill within municipal services. The building commissioner would help with the administration, oversight and direction of the village building and code compliance functions within the community development department.

don’t want to run the risk of your house getting mowed down and losing everything. If I were in your shoes, I think I’d like the protection of flood insurance. What you’re paying for the policy is such a small percentage of your world, compared to the value of your home and your income. Keep the coverage, Trudy! —Dave

Neuromuscular therapy may help some patients with chronic pain ain relief without pills” is the guiding principle of Michael Pys. As a Neuromuscular Therapist (NMT) with an educational background in Osteopathic Manual Therapy, Pys uses a variety of methods to treat patients dealing with acute and chronic pain in his Northbrook, Illinois office. His conservative approach is tailored to each patient’s specific needs. Most of his patients suffer from migraine headaches, dizziness, depression, fibromyalgia, automobile accidents, whiplash, workrelated injuries, falls, sports injuries, neuralgia and cervical disc degeneration, as well as common stress. Everyone from teenagers with growing pains to senior citizens with osteoarthritis will benefit from neuromuscular therapy. Even expectant mothers that, for safety reasons, prefer to avoid prescription medications, frequently seek the services of a neuromuscular therapist. A neuromuscular therapist helps relieve the patient’s pain by using his hands to locate “trigger points” and then deactivating the trigger points.

Dr. Sanet encouraged me to practice osteopathic manual therapy, and he was right,” Pys added. Pys says his greatest challenge is to convince patients they can live their lives free from chronic pain and headaches. Many of them are so resigned to
