Thirty-eight booths were setup on Oct. 4 at the Downers Grove District Recreation Center, offering health screenings and information booths to all ages.

Two hundred flu shots were available and more than half were gone in little less than two hours, said event Chairman Jan Kum, a second-year pharmacy student at Midwestern.

Targeting the underserved residents of Downers Grove, all the basic screenings such as blood pressure, blood glucose and diabetes, body mass index, cholesterol, hearing, and eye and vision were available for free during the event, said Kum.

Education funding bill would affect districts differently Impact of Senate Bill 16 as it currently stands for area School Districts

By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

School districts across the state claim to be cash-strapped and underfunded thanks to a system considered inequitable and archaic.

The introduction of new legislation, passed by the Senate in May, takes on an overhaul of school funding, with many area districts standing to gain millions of dollars.

However, to compensate, other more affluent districts would see a decrease in funding.

The law affects the 857 public school districts in Illinois, essentially pitting lower-income districts against their richer neighbors. Yet, both sides agree, what is needed is a fair system.

Whether Senate Bill 16 does that is at the crux of a huge debate over school funding.

The bill now stands before the House of Representatives, expected to come up in November. However, the House of Representatives has remained firm on their stance they will not call the bill in its current form, with discussions on how to compensate for state-mandated programs ongoing.

A 2012 national report of the

Impact of Senate Bill 16

The law affects the 857 public school districts in Illinois, essentially pitting lower-income districts against their richer neighbors. Yet, both sides agree, what is needed is a fair system.

Whether Senate Bill 16 does that is at the crux of a huge debate over school funding.

Education Law Center of New Jersey and Rutgers University, ranks Illinois next to last, at 47, out of the 48 ranked states, with the most regressive public education funding system, which means districts with high poverty populations are receiving less state and local funding than more affluent districts.

In 2014, an updated version of the report shows that Illinois made slight improvement, ranking 43rd out of 48 on that same measure of education funding distribution.

Senate Bill 16 aims to overhaul the system into a progressive system in which the majority of state funding is means-tested and distributed based on local ability to pay.

Local senators Pat McGuire,

D-Crest Hill, and Jennifer BertinoTarrant, D-Shorewood, voted for the bill.

“Some districts have the local wealth to give their students the education they need to succeed,” McGuire said. “And given the 21st century economy, some districts don’t. Senate Bill 16 addresses that problem by directing limited state resources to those districts with low property wealth and high student needs. When every student in Illinois, regardless of where he or she lives, gets an excellent education, our state will move forward.”

The Illinois State Board of Education said the legislation’s centerpiece is a completely new model for school funding that creates a weighted student formula, with approximately 82 percent of funds going through one funding stream that is equalized to account for district property wealth.

The current system, in contrast, balances 44 percent of state education funding against local ability to pay.

The ISBE explains the new weighted formula would produce student weightings to account for one or more specific student characteristics. Districts would receive more money for pupils who show one or more of a list of attributes. Proposed weights

Downers Grove

Village reconsiders stormwater fee exemption for NFPs Proposal would reduce stormwater utility revenue by $218,000 per year

By Christine M. Foushi for the bugle

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

A proposal to excuse property tax-exempt parcels from paying the stormwater utility fee was discussed during the Oct. 7 Downers Grove Village Council meeting.

Village not-for-profits, including communities of faith, began to pay the stormwater utility fee in 2013. Commissioner Bob Barnett said the village should consider exempting PTE parcels from paying stormwater fees, which would reduce the fee revenue by $218,000 per year to $3.43 million.

“When first introduced to include property tax-exempt parcels in the fee, I was interested in a fair fee for the entire village,” said Commissioner Geoff Neustadt. “Now that we have more experience, I feel we can continue the fee with exempting the PTEs.” Neustadt said implementing the stormwater utility fee revenue has helped create a long-range plan of capital improvements and maintenance projects to the

village’s stormwater system.

However, Commissioner Greg Hose said the $218,000 loss is equivalent to $10 million because of the loss of bonding authority.

As a result, it could impact six different stormwater improvement projects, he added.

Hose said he is also concerned about classifying the property based on the activity as opposed to the property itself. He also said he would be in favor of reducing or freezing fees, but subsidizing stormwater expenses may not necessarily be the right thing to do.

“A lot of these parcels are users of the stormwater system,” he added.

The faith community is requesting a change to exempt churches and houses of worship from the stormwater utility fee, said Pastor Scott Oberle, of First Congregational United Church of Christ in Downers Grove.

Representing 17 of 22 communities of faith in the village, Oberle addressed the council with a few objections to the stormwater utility fee.

Churches are being viewed as “land parcels” and offering no “value” to the community, Oberle said. The churches fill the gaps for programs cut from the community, such as meals on wheels and senior citizen assistance transport, he added.

Commissioner Becky Rheintgen, who previously proposed a reduced rate for PTE parcels, but did not receive support, said feedback from the community has concerned the impact the fee has on these organizations.

“When looking at the list of PTEs, one of the things talked about is community value,” Rheintgen said.

“It’s a minor reduction, and it’s fair and consistent from what we’ve been hearing.”

Oberle said a second objection to the fee is that it penalizes people of faith in Downers Grove who pay their own individual storm water fees.

“This is not a ‘fair-sharing’, but a singling out of church goers to pay more than their fair share,” he said. “By ‘taxing’ the churches with a shared civic utility benefit, the village is opening the door to a host of services.”

Commissioner David Olsen said the stormwater utility has been

“This is a real tax on every resident in Downers Grove, and if we are going to put a tax on them we should stay consistent with the philosophy that these organizations provide real value for which we respect.

an interesting concept, and he is not in favor of either the proposal or utility, and said he believes the council should return to a taxbased system.

“The idea of moving back to property tax-based system is appealing and worth discussing,” Olsen said.

Barnett said the organizations are not paying its fair-share on anything else except on the stormwater utility fee, despite the fact the PTE parcels are heavy, impervious areas.

“This is a real tax on every

resident in Downers Grove, and if we are going to put a tax on them we should stay consistent with the philosophy that these organizations provide real value for which we respect,” said Barnett.

Jo Potts, Downers Grove resident, said the utility is fairly new and has some growing pains, but added that parcels that are part of the problem should be part of the solution. Notfor-profits have to tighten their belt just as residents have to tighten their belts, she added.

The council voted to continue the discussion at a future time.

Mayor Gunter delivers state of the village address Economic development and growth, communication highlighted during Oct. 8 presentation

Westmont Mayor Ron Gunter delivers the annual state of the village address on Wednesday, Oct. 8.

Westmont business owners and residents came together on Wednesday, Oct. 8, at the Hilton Oak Brook Hills Resort for Westmont’s 2014 State of the Village address presented by Mayor Ron Gunter.

Gunter discussed some of the initiatives and programs that he has helped implement during his tenure as mayor and in the past year, as well as what is coming up in the next year for the village.

Gunter noted that when he first came to office there was not a lot of communication between the

board and the residents. Gunter said the village has worked to improve that within the past year.

“One of the things I tried to do was improve those communications and tried to get everybody to work as a team and improve our customer service,” said Gunter, adding that communication with residents was another important undertaking.

“I started coffees with the mayor and started this as a chance for our residents to informally come and talk with me,” Gunter added.

Within the past year, the village has also moved all of its various departments into Village Hall to make village operations more efficient.

Gunter said the village is also improving economic development, appointing Larry Forssberg, executive director of the Westmont Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau, as economic development director.

“We are now beginning to proactively go out and solicit businesses to not only come into town but to also work with the existing businesses,” Gunter said.

Gunter said in the next year he wants everyone to move forward in the same direction.

“We’re working with the staff as a team along with Larry Forssberg and the chamber to move us forward and one thing we need to strive on is economic development and growth,” said Gunter. “We’re working on a community marketing plan and also we’re going back and revisiting the strategic plan.”

Illiana project pushes past CMAP roadblock MPO board agreed Will County needs lliana to modernize its infrastructure

By Alex Hernandez staff reporter

ahernandez@buglenewspapers.com @TheAVHernandez

The Metropolitan Planning Organization voted to keep the Illiana project on the state’s Go To 2040 plan.

“This will help keep our roads safe so we don’t have the deaths like we did over the summer on I-55,” said Nick Palmer, chief of staff for Will County Executive Larry Walsh.

“We applaud today’s MPO Policy Committee vote to stay the course on the Illiana Expressway and to provide for responsible, consistent regional planning,” said Erica Borggren, acting Illinois Transportation Director. “We look forward to next steps for the Illiana Expressway and all other projects in the plan that will improve regional mobility and quality of life while creating jobs and economic development.”

John Yonan, superintendent of transportation and highways for Cook County, led a successful motion for a vote to remove the project from the plan at the beginning of the meeting.

“It does seem to me that in the end, we are where we were about a year ago,” said Borggren. “The only thing that seems different from a year ago is that there is an essence of Déjà Vu.”

Midwestern students were behind the booths, Kum said. The students get to apply what they learned in the classroom and apply it to a real-life setting.

Faculty member Jennifer D’Souza started the fair in 2000 when she was a pharmacy student.

“It’s a real opportunity for students to use skills learned in class and get into the community,” D’Souza said. “You learn so much in school and don’t get to practice until rotations.”

Since the start, more booths have been added to the fair, she said. In

“ W e’ r e in a black economic hole, and we have to get out of it,” - CMAP Board Member Elliott Hartstein This MPO board appeared to agree the Will County region needs a project like Illiana to modernize its infrastructure, but how it will be funded is the major point of dissention between Cook County and Will County officials.

“There are only about $12.3 billion for new projects,” said CMAP Board Member Elliott Hartstein “In light of these limited funds, we need to prioritize…where we can get our bang for our buck.”

He said that the Illiana didn’t measure up to scrutiny regarding its funding or how it would improve the southland region economically.

While he supported the idea for public and private partnerships to get the project done, he said the projected numbers created too

many red flags because private vendors had “stacked the deck” regarding the private public partnership at the expense of the state’s taxpayers.

“We’re in a black economic hole, and we have to get out of it,” said Hartstein.

However Palmer said CMAP was sending the wrong message to developers who might invest in the state because their opposition was stopping a project on track to begin construction as early as 2015.

“We believe we’re proactively planning for the future,” said Palmer.

“From Will County’s perspective, we want to be an active partner, but we get tired of the name calling and saying it’s a road to nowhere.”

The MPO is the federally

the beginning, there was not much money to support the event and everything was limited.

“On average, we see about 100 people,” D’Souza said. “This year we’ve surpassed that number.”

The fair also offers the community an opportunity to ask questions about health topics, which they can take from the fair to their doctors, she said.

These health information booths included smoking cessation, Alzheimer’s disease prevention, personal care products, do-ityourself drug disposal, stroke prevention and many more.

The draw for Downers Grove resident Jodie Andrys, and her 5-year-old daughter Laney was the Children’s Health area and the

Teddy Bear Clinic.

Andrys said her daughter brought a flyer home from school and was excited about the clinic.

Laney checked the bear’s temperature, listened to its heart, gave it a shot and finally a BandAid. Children also participated in games such as identifying foods that are good and bad and creating dinner consisting of the four main food groups, as well as making hand sanitizer and answering questions from Downers Grove Police Department representatives.

In addition, moms and dads received tips on how to dispense medication to children, and kids could take an asthma test by blowing a ball into a cup with a straw.

designated decision-making body for all regional transportation plans and programs for this area and decides funding matters for CMAP’s 2040 plan, The day before, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning voted to reject the project because the vote was 10-4, far from a supermajority, the MPO’s decision on Illiana was crucial for the project to move forward.

During the Thursday meeting’s public comment, state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Crest Hill, said the current way commercial traffic travels through the Will County area near the I-55 and I-80 interchange is dangerous. Six people were killed in two traffic-related accidents near there this summer involving trucks.

Dozens of others have been injured in other accidents.

“The Illiana will help save lives by giving truckers an alternative route,” said McGuire.

He and other proponents of the project say the Illiana will improve commercial and freight traffic from the nearby intermodals, while also attracting more economic development to the Will County area.

The project is expected to cost $1.3 billion and cover nearly 50 miles from I-55 in Wilmington in Will County to Interstate 65 in Indiana.

Last October, CMAP Chair Gerald Bennett said it made no sense to invest money in the Illiana project because those funds could go to other CMAP transportation projects.

His argument back then was that the project was a “political plan” by Gov. Pat Quinn and unnecessary in

an area of the state he considered a “wasteland.”

When CMAP tried to kick the project off its 2040 plan last year, then-Illinois Transportation Director Ann Schneider and Will County Executive Larry Walsh both successfully lobbied the MPO to keep Illiana on the plan.

This time around, neither were present during Thursday’s MPO meeting.

Schneider resigned amid controversy around political patronage job hires like the hiring and promotion of Ashley Carpenter in 2006 and 2007, Schneider’s stepdaughter. Meanwhile Walsh is recuperating from prostate cancer surgery and Palmer stood in for him. Because of their absences, supporters of the project feared it would be blocked this time around.

Bennett, who is also mayor of Palos Hills, and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle have led the pushback on the Illiana project.

Back in July Preckwinkle asked CMAP Executive Director Randall Blankenhorn to revisit removing Illiana from the 2040 plan via a letter.

“It would be impossible of me to support a project like this that will compromise other, more fully vetted transportation improvements with greater benefits for Cook County, metro Chicago and Illinois,” Preckwinkle wrote in her letter.

She said the project’s funding plan is flawed and could result in too high a percentage of public funds to cover project shortfalls, estimated between $440 million and $1.1 billion, in a project which was initially proposed as a bi-state, public-private partnership, or P3.

Hopefully if you’ve made it this far, and you’re reading this, you’ve noticed there are some new changes in your Bugle this week. We’re glad we didn’t scare you off.

As I mentioned last week, my name is Shelley, and I am the page designer for the Bugle/Sentinel newspapers. Along with Creative Director Andrew Samaan and the rest of the Bugle team, we’ve been working hard for the past year to give you the final product you’re holding in your hands. It’s been a long journey, and we hope you, our readers, enjoy what you see. Because all of the changes we have implemented in your Bugle/ Sentinel paper are exactly for you. We’ve worked hard to determine how here at the Bugle/Sentinel, we could give you the best product possible so you can get the most out of your weekly Bugle. So let’s break down these changes: On our front page, the first most noticeable change is our nameplate.

We’ve discarded the old, dark blue giant nameplate in favor of a bright, cyan blue to really pop off the front page.

traffic considerations needed near doerhoefer Park To the Village Council, Mayor and related departments of Downers Grove First of all thank you to the village of Downers Grove for the long awaited and much needed sidewalk extensions at Saratoga Avenue and 41st Street.

Before the new sidewalks were provided pedestrians including many families entering Doerhoefer Park were forced to walk onto the street at this busy intersection, which includes the entrance to traffic court, condos and hundreds of vehicles traveling through this residential area.

It is still surprising and disappointing that there is not a safe pedestrian

entrance into this park.

Idea: instead of a chain link fence that blocks pedestrians and forces them onto the narrow and often times busy driveway, why not take down the fence?

To reduce expenses simply add a crushed limestone path over to the walkway that follows the north side of the asphalt on the parking lot.

There is still an ongoing problem with many vehicles that cut through the area to avoid the intersection of Main and Ogden. Plus, without a direct route on Saratoga into the Orchard Brook community, vehicles come around the intersection of Saratoga and 41st to go east to Forest Avenue.

Many pedestrians including dozens of students going to nearby Downer Grove

North High School are challenged every day to get across 41st street. Without a marked crosswalk at minimum at 41st and Forest, drivers don’t know or care to slow down when approaching this intersection. Adding some speed limit signs, a painted crosswalk and enforcement of the 25 mph speed limit would be helpful and appreciated. Many towns and cities in the area add speed bumps or they call them speed tables to force vehicles to slow down on residential streets. Has the village of Downers Grove ever used speed bumps/tables to help control speeding vehicles? If yes, what are the options to add at least one along this busy stretch of 41st street? don kirchenberg downers grove resident

Stores to open in time for holiday shopping At Airport and Weber Roads, is the new Goodwill store, which also recently opened Oct. 9

By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

Discount shoppers delight— TJ Maxx is celebrating its grand opening Oct. 16 in the Shops of Romeoville.

The 23,000 square feet of new construction began development in April off the corner of Airport and Weber Roads, next to the now vacant Office Max. In addition to the TJ Maxx store, the developer, also has a new strip center constructed in

A loss would be capped at $1,000 per student.

Still others are opposed.

State Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, created an online petition asking colleagues to vote against SB16. DuPage County schools stand to lose a total of approximately $140 million through the provisions of the bill, he said.

Sandack is the chief sponsor of House Resolution 1276, which denounces SB16 and encourages a comprehensive and fair funding reform process that is inclusive of all stakeholder points of view, according to a release.

Across the way, at Airport and Weber Roads, is the new Goodwill store, which also recently opened Oct. 9.

“SB16 is nothing more than a piecemeal reallocation of state resources that will impact hundreds of school districts and cause deep budget reductions and financial uncertainty,” Sandack said.

“HR1276 calls for a more equitable and reasonable approach to education funding reform that extends outside of the parameters of SB16’s GSA redistribution. School funding is a serious issue and our ultimate reforms should be done in a way that allows all students to be winners.”

The ISBE has announced public hearings to guide FY 2016 budget development. The ISBE is offering a series of public hearings across the state to gather opinions and ideas regarding education resources and funding as the Board develops its budget recommendation, typically sent to the General Assembly and

Governor in January.

“One of the board’s most important roles is to serve as a strong advocate for sufficient and equitable funding for K-12 education to help ensure each and every student in the state is prepared for the rigors of college and careers,” said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch.

This year the hearings will also offer attendees an opportunity to voice feedback on SB16, Testimony from the FY 2016 budget hearings regarding SB 16 will be shared with legislators and ISBE staff.

Those who are unable to attend one of the five public hearings are encouraged to email any guidance or feedback to ISBE at isbefy16@ isbe.net. The nearest public budget hearings for FY 2016 in the area will be held at 5 p.m. Nov. 21 in Chicago at the Thompson Center, Conference Room 16-503, 100 West Randolph Street.

announced Benet is top seed in Bartlett Sectional

by scott taylor spOrts EditOr

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @taylor_sports

Benet’s quest for a fourth straight trip to the Class 4A state finals will begin in Naperville.

The Redwings open play in the Neuqua Valley Regional as the No. 1 seed in the Bartlett Sectional, going up against the winner of No. 16 Batavia and No. 17 Glenbard North at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 28.

A win would put them up against the winner of No. 8 Neuqua Valley and No. 9 St. Charles North at 6 p.m. Oct. 30. Sectional play would be in Bartlett at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 4 and 6 p.m. Nov. 6. The Supersectional this year is at Hinsdale Central, where the winner meets the Mother McAuley Sectional champion at 1 p.m. Nov. 8.

Speaking of the Mother McAuley Sectional, that is where the other two local 4A schools will be competing.

Downers North, fresh off a regional title last year, is looking to repeat in the Argo Regional. The Trojans open as the No. 5 seed and face the winner of No. 12 Oak Lawn and No. 21 Argo at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 28.

Their likely opponent in the regional final would be No. 4 Sandburg. The regional final is Oct. 30 at 6 p.m.

Downers South is the No. 8 seed in the Lemont Regional and opens with No. 9 Lemont at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 28.

The winner of that game likely gets No. 1 seed Mother McAuley at 6 p.m. Oct. 28.

class 2a Westmont is the top seed in the CICS/Longwood Regional. The Sentinels open play against the winner of No. 4 CICS/Ellison and No. 5 St. Joseph at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 28.

The winner will play at 6 p.m. Oct. 30 against either Morgan Park or EPIC Academy Charter.

•Lisle is the No. 3 seed in the Seneca Regional and opens play against No. 2 Marquette at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 28. The winner plays at 6 p.m. Oct. 30, likely against the No. 1 seed Seneca.

swiMMiNg Downers North’s girls swimming team dominated its annual dual with cross-town rival Downers South, crushing the Mustangs by a 122-61 score on Oct. 7.

Winning two events each for the Trojans were Lindsay Mathys (200 freestyle and 100 butterfly), Gabriele Serniute (200 individual medley and 500 freestyle) and Emily Albrecht (50 freestyle and 100 backstroke).

The Trojans’ 200 medley and 400 freestyle relay teams also were victorious. The 200 medley relay team consisted of Serniute, Daria Wick, Cassandra Candel and Ellie Benge, while the 400 relay team featured Benge, Mathys Maeve Mulligan and Emma Roche.

Downers South’s 200 freestyle relay team, with Alyssa Reinholz, PaigeVondrasek,MakailaScheiblein and Allie Puccillo, recorded the Mustangs’ only first place of the

GAME 8:

Benet @ JCA

The details: The Redwings (5-2 overall, 3-2 in ESCC) got back on track last week, taking down Carmel 2421. Joliet Catholic (5-2, 4-1) got a field goal blocked in a 24-21 loss to Nazareth in the closing seconds. The Benet offense has been consistent for much of the season, scoring 20 points or more in all five wins, but failed to reach that mark in their two losses. The defense has only allowed more than 20 points three times this year. The Hilltoppers feature a balanced rushing attack with the ability to throw the ball this year.

Keys to the game:

Whoever gets up early will have a big advantage in this

game time 7:30 p.m. Friday game as they will be able to stick with their gameplan.

Benet needs to control the ball on offense and get some big plays in its passing game as JCA will be keying on the run. On defense, the Redwings need to limit the dangerous JCA running game and force them into third and long situations.

This is one of those playofflike atmospheres and whoever reacts to that better has an advantage.

-compiled by Scott Taylor

GAME 8:

Proviso West @ DGN The details: Downers North (2-5, 1-3) snapped its five game losing streak with a 33-14 win over York.

Proviso West suffered a loss to Glenbard West to fall to 2-5 overall, 0-4 in the WSC Silver. The Trojans are coming off their highest point total of the season while allowing their second fewest. The Panthers have only passed 20 points three times this year, while the defense has given up 35 or more points four times. The confidence and momentum appear to be on Downers North’s side.

Keys to the game:

Downers

North

proved

it

game time 7:30 p.m. Friday is not packing it in, despite being eliminated from the postseason. Now that Proviso West is eliminated, it will be interesting to see how it responds. The Trojans need to continue to find success offensively and carry that over from last week. The defense needs to continue its strong play and force some turnovers.

Downers North tandem moving on to state

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

After her regular round at the Lincoln-Way Central Sectional at the Sanctuary Golf Course in New Lenox, Downers Grove North junior Courtney Katz knew her 81 would be on the fence for advancement to state, but had no nerves or concerns.

Like she said she did all round, she just took it in stride.

“I kind of goof off on the course, so nothing really gets to me,” Katz said.

She showed that knack for playing under pressure a bit later when her and four other players were called yo play a playoff for the final spot to advance to state.

After one hole, the foursome became two and after the third playoff hole, Katz had earned the spot.

It was not only her carefree attitude that helped her, but her decision making as well.

Katz played it safe off the tee on the third sudden death hole and hit an iron to stay on the fairway.

“I hit an iron because I didn’t want my drive to go in the water, so I played it safe and did something I knew I could do good.”

A solid approach had her on in two, as her competitor landed her second shot out of bounds.

“When she missed that shot, it was pretty nerve wracking because I knew I had to play pretty good then,” Katz said. “It feels really cool going to state, I am really excited for it. Plus, I get to miss school and go with a teammate.”

That teammate is sophomore Rachel Leucuta who carded a 79 to advance to the state meet.

“The rain didn’t help out there, but I was able to stick through it,” Leucuta said. “I hit my irons well and making putts, which was good.”

The Trojans competed as a team for the first time at the sectional level.

Courtney Katz advanced to state on the third playoff hole at Monday’s sectional at the Sanctuary Golf Course.

Also scoring for North were Annie Bedalov (86) and Elizabeth Eboli (89).

Benet’s Ben Johnson advanced to the state meet.

While Benet didn’t qualify for state as a team as it did last year, it will be represented at state once again.

Seniors Ben Johnson and George Carroll shot a 72 and 73, respectively, to qualify for the state meet, which takes place this weekend at The Den at Fox Creek Golf Course in Bloomington.

Their scores came on a cold, windy day at Prairie Bluffs Golf Course in the Hinsdale Central Sectional Monday.

“I was pretty excited,” Johnson said. “It could have been even better. I hit the ball pretty well and everything was good. I just missed a couple key putts down the stretch.

I’m very happy with a 72 and to make it downstate my senior year.”

“It feels really good,” said Carroll, who played his final nine holes in 1-under. “I made a lot of putts. I made three birdie putts coming down the stretch and that felt really good. I knew it was going to be close for me individually.”

Both qualifiers have experience of playing at state and they want to use that to their advantage.

“The Den is a different type of course,” Johnson said. “The greens are tough and fast. You have to hit fairways and greens, that is what it will be all about for me. I’m not going to be overly aggressive. This definitely gives me confidence and I feel good about my game.”

I want to have fun,” Carroll said.

“I think if I play my game I will do well.”

Alex Bassetto shot a 76 for the Redwings, while Austin Feldman added a 77 as Benet missed out on a state berth, despite shooting a 298, finishing fifth. The top three teams and 10 individuals qualified for state. 74 was the cutoff individually.

Benet advanced to sectionals after finishing third in the Hinsdale South Regional at Prairie Bluff with a 305.

Bassetto led the way with a 71, Carroll shot a 77, Johnson had a 78 and Feldman shot a 79 for the Redwings.

•Downers South had four individuals at the sectional and was led by Jon Krupa and Joe Vath, both of whom shot 76.

Trent Caraher fired a 77 and Sean Burk had an 84.

The Downers South team just missed out on qualifying for sectionals, finishing fourth with a 317. They still had four individual qualifiers as Vath shot a 76, Caraher had a 78, Burk shot a 79 and Krupa added an 84.

•Downers North had a trio of sectional qualifiers. Kevin Aguayo shot a 77, Alex Malone had an 83 and Colin Michaels shot an 84.

Downers North placed fifth at the Hinsdale South Regional with a 325.

Malone had a 76, Michaels shot an 82 and Aguayo carded an 83.

CLASS 1A Lisle’s Ben Rohder qualified for sectionals out of the Elmhurst Regional after shooting an 86.

GAME 8:

DGS @ Proviso East The details: The Mustangs come in on a fourgame winning streak to move to 5-2 overall, 3-1 in the WSC Gold. They beat Willowbrook last week 50-38. The Pirates (1-6, 0-4) are on a six-game losing streak after a 42-7 loss to Addison Trail. Proviso East has given up at least 26 points in each of its six losses, while it has eclipsed 20 points just twice all year. Downers South has gotten its offense on track in recent weeks, breaking 30 points in three of four games.

The defense did give up its most points of the year last week, but have a good chance to get back on track against the Pirates.

Ryan Taylor (right) and Downers South travel to Proviso East Saturday.

game time Saturday, 1 :30 p.m.

Keys to the game: This is a game Downers South should be able to roll in. All of the trends point the Mustangs’ way, but they have to be prepared to get the Pirates’ best shot. The Mustangs need to continue to improve offense to gear up for the playoffs. The defense needs to get back on track after a tough week last week.

GAME 8:

Manteno @ westmont The details: The Sentinels (4-3, 3-2) moved to within one win of playoff eligibility with a 55-41 win over Reed-Custer. Manteno (6-0, 4-0) edged Coal City in a thriller, 24-23. The Panthers have been high-powered on offense, which isn’t a good sign for the Westmont defense. Manteno has tallied 215 points already this year, including back-to-back 40plus point games before last week. The Westmont defense has already allowed 294 points on the season, but the offense has put up at least 20 points in every game and have scored 261 points.

Keys to the game:

Westmont

has

proven

it

game time Friday, 7 p.m. can score points on just about anyone and needs to continue to prove that against an undefeated team.

The offense will need to score early and often to keep pace with Manteno’s offense.

Defensively, the Sentinels need to take chances and force turnovers. They have given up a lot of points this year, but if they cane go boom-or-bust against Manteno and come up with some big turnovers, they can stay in this game.

coal City @ lisle

The details: Lisle fell to Herscher 35-10 to fall to 1-6 on the year and finished the I-8 Small Division with a 0-5 record. Coal City fell to 5-2 with a 24-23 loss to Manteno in a heartbreaker. The Lions have ran out of gas on defense, as they have allowed 237 points on the season. The offense has also struggled, with just one game over 10 points in their last four games.

The Coalers haven’t been dominant on offense with just one game over 27 points, but the defense has two shutouts on the season.

roundup | from page 11 night. Reinholz, Vondrasek, Puccillo and Beth Vetter also were second in the 200 medley relay.

Additionally, Wick and Benge took firsts in the 100 freestyle and 100 breaststroke, respectively, and Emily Aument finished first in the 1-meter diving event.

In individual events, seconds went to the Trojans’ Benge in the 200 freestyle, Wick in the 50 freestyle, and Candel in the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke. Taking seconds for the Mustangs were Scheiblein in the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke, Reinholz in the 100 freestyle, Puccillo in the 500 freestyle and Bella Marzari in diving.

FOOTBALL Benet overcame a 13-7 halftime deficit to visiting Carmel last Friday night and held off a late Corsair rally to defeat Carmel, 24-21.

The victory stopped a two-game Redwing losing skid and made the Redwings playoff eligible for a third straight season.

The Redwings finish up with

game time 7:15 p.m. Friday Keys to the game: It is going to be a tough game for the Lions.

powerful Joliet Catholic this Friday and Marian in Week 9, which is 1-6 going into this week’s action.

Assuming the Redwings split, Benet will then get an automatic postseason bid.

Running back Brad Sznajder, who went on to a new singleseason school rushing record in the second half, enabled the Redwings to tie Carmel at 5:48 of the second quarter with a 10-yard touchdown run. However, the Corsairs scored late in the period for their halftime lead.

Benet took the lead for good midway through the third quarter when Mac Cooney recovered a fumble at the Carmel 27-yard line, which led to Sznajder eventually scoring on a 5-yard run.

A 21-yard field goal from Matt Tromp early in the final quarter put the Redwings (5-2, 3-2) in front, 17-7. Benet tallied what proved to be a crucial touchdown with 2:55 to go when Jack Sznajder hit Karl Schmidt with a 12-yard pass for a 24-13 lead. Carmel made it close with a touchdown and a twopoint conversion, but Benet’s Jeff Feigenbaum recovered the ensuing onside kick to seal the win.

Sznajder surpassed former record-holder Tom Marth’s 30-year mark of 1,086 yards with an 18-yard run early in the second half. He finished with 229 yards on 39 carries for the game and has totaled 1,184 yards and 11 touchdowns through seven games.

numbers you’ve given me is wrong — either the $85,000, the $75,000 or the $10,000 you think it will take to fix up the place.

In other words, if you spend $10,000 on a project like this, you’ll usually gain $20,000 when you’re talking about stuff like a thorough cleaning, new carpet and flooring, fresh paint and basics like that. My guess is if the place is worth $85,000 fixed up it’ll probably bring about $65,000 as-is.

If it’s me, I’m going to clean the place and fix it up. I’ve done hundreds, if not thousands, of these kinds of deals, and I can’t stand to try and sell something that’s dumpy, grungy and out of shape.
