Downers Grove
Man charged after Nov. 19 standoff 53-year-old charged with disarming police officer, aggravated battery By Jonathan Samples staff reporter
jsamples@buglenewspapers.com @strikechords
Police said a Downers Grove man who was involved in a brief standoff with officers on Nov. 19 has been charged with disarming a peace officer and aggravated battery. Daniel E. Saxon, 53, was arrested after allegedly striking a police officer and barricading himself inside of his apartment at approximately 2:50 p.m. on the date of the incident.
Downers Grove police said an officer responded to an apartment building in the 2400 block of Ogden Avenue to investigate reports of a man who was acting irrationally and preventing residents from entering the building. Upon arriving to the scene, the officer approached the man for questioning. Police said the man struck the officer and disarmed him of his Taser during an ensuing physical struggle. The man then fled to his apartment and barricaded
the door. The DuPage County Felony Investigative Assistance Team’s SWAT team was activated after numerous failed attempts by police to make contact with the man, according to a release. After a three-hour standoff, the man surrendered to officers and was transported to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital for evaluation, according to Downers Grove police. No one was injured during the incident. Downers Grove Police Chief Robert Porter said officers obtained a warrant for the arrest of Saxon. His bail was set at $100,000 and he was transported to the DuPage County Jail.

Village council clears way for Good Sam expansion Renovations to include adding floors to west pavilion, expanding Cancer Care Center By Christine M. Demma for the bugle
sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers
The Downers Grove Village Council approved rezoning and adopted an Institutional Master Plan for Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital during Tuesday night’s meeting. As part of the village’s new zoning ordinance, rezoning of the village’s watertowerpropertyandthehospital campus on Highland Avenue to INP-2, Campus-scale Institutional and Public. The ordinance was
necessary for the hospital to adopt a new institutional master plan that calls for a $92 million expansion on the health facility campus. A point of discussion was the surrounding Lyman Woods that borders Good Samaritan Hospital and the impact the institutional master plan may have on it. Three buffer zones have been established by the village ordinance and 1998 Consent Decree in order to protect the adjacent Lyman Woods, said resident Gordon Goodman. The hospital has a 20-year record of refusing any management of
the buffer zones, he added. The hospital’s attorney Tracy Kasson said there is no maintenance obligation, adding that the rights and obligations in the consent decree state that no work can be done outside the buffer areas as it would violate the restrictive covenant. The restrict covenant, which was created in 1994, stated the hospital, the village, the Downers Grove Park District and the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County would be the parties to discuss maintenance of the area. Kasson said the hospital is more than willing to meet with the parties to negotiate the removing of vegetation at no cost to the hospital. Commissioner Geoff Neustadt said Lyman Woods has protection and
the restrictive covenant clearly states where to build and where to remove plants and trees. Laura Neiberg, vice president for ancillary services and community health at Good Samaritan, said as the hospital has expanded, it has been a good neighbor to Lyman Woods. “We have expanded our campus respectively,” she said. Commissioner David Olsen said the hospital has clearly expressed it will work with the other parties, adding that he expects it to follow through with its commitments to the community. In the master plan, the hospital plans to add floors to the west pavilion and expand its Cancer Care Center.
The private room bed tower expansion will add three floors and create 284 patient beds. “We’re building up, not out,” Neiberg said. “The tower doesn’t disturb the land around it.” According to the proposal, a twostory addition with a basement is planned for the Cancer Care Center in an effort expand the outpatient oncology services and enable a more comprehensive, integrated program. Future plans within the next 10 years may include an expansion of the emergency room, operating room and Health and Wellness Center, as well as parking and helipad improvements. No work is planned for the water tower itself.

Downers Grove
Thousands participate in bonfield express 5K More than 5,500 people registered for annual Thanksgiving race The 11th annual Bonfield Express 5K kicked off in downtown Downers Grove on Thanksgiving morning, as more than 5,500 people registered to participate in the event despite freezing temperatures. The race began in 2004 as a way to honor the memory of Downers Grove South father, teacher, dean and coach Jim Bonfield and works to further his message of character, community and commitment. The top male finishers in order during the 2014 Bonfield Express 5K were Dan O’Keefe of Downers Grove, Jack LaLonde of Downers Grove and Ben Wynsma of Suttons Bay, Michigan. The top female finishers in order were Britney Whitehead of Elgin, Kelsey Kilrea of LaGrange and Keegan Kilrea of LaGrange. One of the largest annual events held in Downers Grove, the race is now a Thanksgiving morning tradition in the village. The homegrown charm of the Bonfield Express 5K began around a small kitchen table where race organizers still meet throughout the
year to plan for the race. Members of the community, especially those living along its scenic race route, have also become involved over the years. Some have even taken it a step further. Each year, the Giesler family sets up a lighted stand to distribute donuts to racers. “We just love doing this,” said Marsha Giesler. “The people in our community are so nice.” What started out as a poster and a few donuts later became a handbuilt stand with lights so runners could see it. “This whole thing came from the fact that my kids were runners and they thought the idea of having a donut stand for runners ran counter to everything serious runners do,” Giesler explained. The race route begins in downtown Downers Grove at Main and Grove streets and loops around the downtown business district before winding its way through scenic neighborhood streets. “It’s a fun thing that we can all participate in before we come back to our Thanksgiving meal,”

more than 5,500 people registered to participate in the 11th annual Bonfield express 5K on thanksgiving morning. said Downers Grove resident Peter Leonhardt. This year, 25 members of his family from five different states, including Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida and Texas participated in the Bonfield Express. “It’s just a really fun, family, community activity that’s also a great way to celebrate the life of a
teacher,” Leonhardt said. Area high school students are also heavily involved in the race, some as racers and others who lend their support as volunteers. Emily Qualizza, a junior at Downers Grove South High School, sang a moving rendition of the national anthem while Alexander Newell, also a junior at Downers
Grove South, sounded the train whistle that serves as the official start of the race. Additionally, mascots from Downers Grove North, Downers Grove South and Hinsdale Central high schools were there to greet racers as they crossed the finish line. The Downers Grove South eight-piece jazz combo also played through sub-freezing temperatures by tuning down one-half a step so their horns could stay in tune. “My husband loved a good party, and he would have loved this race,” said Annette Bonfield, president of the Bonfield Express Foundation and widow of Jim Bonfield. “Thanksgiving was always his favorite holiday, so it just makes sense to hold the race on this day.” Funds generated through the race provide scholarship assistance to select students who reflect Jim Bonfield’s personal example of character, commitment and love of community. Since 2004, the Bonfield Express Foundation has distributed more than $250,000 in scholarships to more than 128 west suburban seniors attending high school at Downers Grove North, Downers Grove South, Hinsdale Central, Hinsdale South, Lisle and Westmont high schools.

Two years ago, Bill Wilson, a member of the Clarendon Hills Lions Club, suggested that the Club purchase a new bus for SEASPAR. Bill, who is also a long-time athletic coach for SEASPAR, was able to see his idea come to life on Nov. 22 at SEASPAR’s bus dedication ceremony. After researching the cost of a bus and the transportation needs of participants, the club decided to make it happen. Due to the large sum needed for the bus, they asked for support from other Lions Clubs in the area, and received commitments from the clubs in Westmont, Darien, Downers Grove and Lisle. By spearheading this effort, they raised $48,000 to donate for the bus. At the dedication, SEASPAR Executive Director Susan Friend stated, “Access to the community and activities is vital to the lives of people with disabilities. For most adults, playing in a softball league, going out to eat, or taking a weekend getaway is simple. They just call their friends and go do it!

Representatives of the Clarendon Hills, Westmont, Darien, Lisle and Downers Grove Lions Clubs stand by the SEASPAR bus which they jointly funded, at a dedication ceremony in Clarendon Hills.
“Adults with disabilities need the support of SEASPAR and others to make doing those basic activities possible. Without the help of others and transportation, it couldn’t not happen. Children with disabilities need exposure to the greater community too, for the development of physical and cognitive skills, and to practice social skills. Transportation allows
them access to opportunities that aid in their development.” SEASPAR expresses its appreciation to Bill and the Clarendon Hills Lions for taking on this challenge and to the other Clubs who stepped up to make this a reality. Caryn Andrew SEASPAR

fASt StARt Redwings open season 8-0 bY sCott taYlor sporTs EDITor
staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports
Benet has gotten off to a fast start this year… in multiple ways. Not only did the Redwings move to 8-0 on the year with an 85-56 win over Fenwick Saturday, they have done so with a much faster pace this year under new coach Joe Kilbride. That pace has allowed the Redwings to score points in bunches and have large victory margins over strong squads. “We’re going to press and run until an opponent proves we are not able to do it and win,” Kilbride said. “The kids have bought into it. We’ve been fairly successful with that. We have some really good guards. We have depth and have been able to bring a lot of energy and have been pretty successful with it so far.” The players really enjoy playing in the fast-paced system. “I really like that,” Benet senior Emily Schramek said of the tempo. “Sometimes we can get sloppy, but it has improved a lot. We’re able to get a layup or

a wide open three, so I really like that. We force a lot of turnovers. We press all game long and coach isn’t intimidated. He trusts us and we trust him and I think that is a big key to our success this year.” “I really like it,” fellow senior Emily Eshoo added. “It is really fun. I really like playing fast and I think that helps my game. With the intensity on defense and the full court pressure, it brings our team to another level of intensity and helps us get easy points and pull away.” While the start may have taken some by surprise, Benet has been building up to this year. “We’ve talked about what we think the potential is for this team and we all agree it is sky high,” Kilbride said. “They have done a really good job of setting the tone. We think there is a lot of potential and we will see how far they can take it.” “We were good my freshman year and we weren’t 8-0,” Schramek said. “This is very exciting. We can’t let this get into our heads though and we need to keep going.”

Dramatic shot foils DGN’s hopes of victory By mike sandrolini sports reporter
mike@buglenewspapers.com @Voyager_Sport
Fans were treated to not one, but two, highlight-reel plays during a wild finish last Friday in the West Suburban Silver opener between the Trojans and Proviso West. Downers North, which led 4126 early in the fourth quarter, lost that lead and trailed 50-45 with 2:47 left. But DGN battled back and appeared to have won the game after Devin Blake fired in a threepointer from the top of the key with the clock set to expire. However, new Panthers head coach Michael Ingram—a former all-stater at Proviso West in the mid-1980s—called timeout just after Blake hit the trey. The officials ended up putting time back on the clock … enough time that the Panthers were able to set up an inbounds play. Khalil Walker caught a pass near half court, turned and heaved up a desperation shot just before the buzzer that banked in off the glass to stun the Trojans, 58-56. “The (Proviso West) kid hit a great shot at the end of the game, but we gave up 32 points in the fourth quarter and lost the ballgame,” said Downers North coach Jim Thomas. “I felt that we had a nice game plan, the kids executed it for about three quarters and we gave up 32 points in the fourth. That’s a recipe for disaster.” Blake sank two free throws at 2:38 of the fourth, enabling the Trojans to pull within three at 50-47. A few seconds later, 5-foot-7 guard Noah Isacson provided a third highlight reel quality play—this one on the defensive end—when he leaped above Panthers guard Cameron Boyd and swatted away Boyd’s layup attempt just as Boyd released it; the ball caroming off the glass. “That was probably one of the best plays I’ve ever seen,” said Blake, who finished with a gamehigh 18 points. “That probably got us back in the game.” Senior Evan Jakobsze’s free throw with 10.6 seconds to go made it 55-53, setting the stage for Blake’s three-pointer. “It wasn’t looking good but we got back and we were up 15 at one point and got down by five and brought it back,” Blake said. “It was back and forth.” Blake provided the spark towards the end of the third quarter and
into the fourth that helped the Trojans to open up that 15-point lead. With the Trojans ahead 31-25, Blake scored eight of DGN’s next 10 points as the Trojans outscored the Panthers 10-1 in that sequence. But then the Panthers caught fire. They ran off 14 unanswered points—including three treys— and cut the Trojans’ lead to 4140. Proviso West followed that up with a 9-4 run which provided the Panthers with their 50-45 lead. “I told the kids that if we take something from this, we were down 50-45 at one point and I thought that was going to be a difficult task to get back into the ballgame, but we did,” Thomas said. The loss put a damper on an otherwise successful showing by the Trojans during the Wheaton Christian Thanksgiving tourney, where they went 3-1. DGN won only nine games last season. “I thought we played pretty good,” Thomas said. “Obviously there were some sloppy situations here and there that we addressed all week in practice (last week), and I thought we actually got better.” Jordan Kedrowski also reached double figures with 11 points, while Matt Mahlke and Myles Farley each had seven points. Blake pointed out that the play on which he sank his trifecta actually was drawn up for Farley. “Myles has been hitting phenomenally from the threepoint line so we wanted to get him the shot and he was guarded,” Blake said. “I got the ball and I was initially going to drive, but I just decided to shoot it and it just went in.” The Trojans now find themselves at 3-3 overall, 0-2 in the WSS after giving Hinsdale Central a run for its money last Saturday evening in a 51-47 loss. The Red Devils have been ranked in the top 20 of various Chicago area prep basketball polls. “We take it day by day and don’t look too far ahead of ourselves,” Thomas said. “LT’s got one of the best players in the area (senior guard Harrison Niego) and Oak Park is no slouch so there’s a lot of good teams. “You’ve got to lace ’em up every night, if you’re home or away. You saw tonight. You’d assume that most people would say that Proviso West was going to have a rough year, but they went on the road and got one. It’s going to be a beast of a league again.”

Benedictine
Eagles post one of top seasons in program history Under the direction of third year head coach Rich Nassif, the Benedictine University men’s soccer team put together one of the best seasons in school history in 2014. The Eagles boasted an overall record of 11-7-2, with a mark of 8-1-1 in conference play. Benedictine won a Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference Tournament game for the first time in program history while reaching the semifinals for a second straight year. “No doubt the 2014 season was quite special with the program’s first winning season in over 18 years and our first NACC Tournament victory in program history,” head coach Rich Nassif said. “Looking at our individuals, we featured one of the best strikers in the country, one of the best goal-scoring duos in the country, and one of best setup players in the nation among many others. It was very neat to see this group score 50 goals this
season and continue the rise of Benedictine Soccer.” After opening the season 1-5-1 in the non-conference portion, Benedictine reeled off five consecutive wins to open the conference slate. Among the victories was a 2-1 home decision over Dominican on September 23. Benedictine downed Dominican for a second consecutive season after ending an 88-match conference win streak for the Stars in 2013. The Eagles are the only conference foe to own a regular season win over Dominican in the history of the NACC. Dominican reached the NCAA Tournament field for a 13th consecutive season as an at large team. Benedictine atoned for a loss in the 2013 NACC semifinals by shutting out Edgewood 3-0 on September 27. Eventual conference tournament champion MSOE handed Benedictine its lone regular season conference defeat on
October 11, halting the fivematch streak. MSOE netted the game winner as the countdown was on to end the first overtime. The Eagles responded to the MSOE defeat by winning four straight prior to ending the regular season with a 2-2 draw against Aurora. The unbeaten streak extended to six with a 4-0 blanking of Edgewood at home in the NACC Tournament opener, the first NACC tournament win in program history. MSOE ended the season for Benedictine in the semifinals. Benedictine owns a record of 16-2-2 in NACC action over the past two seasons. Individually, Nick Kapetanos put together one of the top offensive seasons in school history. Kapetanos earned NACC Freshman of the Year honors and first team allconference status after scoring 18 goals and adding 10 assists, leading the conference in both goals and points. Kapetanos ranked 13th nationally in goals
and 12th in points. The Norridge, Ill. native tallied five goals and an assist against Lakeland on October 18 for 11 points, the most in a single contest in the nation this year. The five goals matched a national high as well. Three other individuals joined Kapetanos as first team all-conference choices. Ante Markotic finished second to Kapetanos in goals scored in the conference. Edgar Reyes distributed 12 assists, second best in the NACC. Anes Kadiric switched to the defensive side and helped anchor a strong defense. Newcomers Gio Ovalle and Steve Mack earned slots on the second team. Both were also named to the all-freshman team along with Kapetanos. Mack started 19 matches in goal while Ovalle anchored the back line and scored a goal to go with five assists. A group of five seniors completed their Benedictine
tenure in 2014. The senior class of Anes Kadiric, Krzysztof Sitarz, Ante Markotic, Edgar Reyes, and Hector Valencia were integral parts of helping to create a new direction for the program. The seniors made three appearances in the NACC Tournament, recorded 20 wins over the past two years, and helped put together one of the best seasons in program history this year. “We will greatly miss our five graduating seniors – Anes, Ante, Edgar, Kris, & Hector,” Nassif said. “They were all instrumental in taking this program to new heights, to our first NACC Championship, and to back-toback Tournament semi-finals. They have laid a strong foundation for our guys to build on next season as we face a schedule featuring six teams who made the 2014 NCAA Tournament. While we close the chapter on a special class of seniors, we certainly look ahead to the promise of an even more successful year in 2015.”

Trojans go 3-1, take 3rd at Rachel Bach tourney By mike sandrolini sports reporter
mike@buglenewspapers.com @Voyager_Sport
How are the Trojans getting along without Sarah Costello, a two-time Illinois Basketball Coaches Association all-state special mention pick who’s now one of the top reserves at NCAA Division II University of Indianapolis? They’re moving forward and winning. Costello was the catalyst behind Downers North’s 25-4 sectional qualifying team last year, but the Trojans still have a solid nucleus of players, including three returning starters—junior guard Lauren Porcelli, 6-2 junior guard/forward Jaida Green and 6-3 senior center Peyton Winters. And each of the three helped the Trojans finish third at last week’s Rachel Bach Tournament at Glenbard East. “We all have to adjust a little bit and have other people step up in different ways than they did last year,” said DGN coach Stephan Bolt. “Peyton and Jaida and Lauren have to be more vocal leaders and leaders by example on the floor and kind of fill that void that Sarah leaves.” The Trojans captured third after defeating the host school, 4728, on Nov. 26. DGN played four games in five days and went 3-1, with Geneva (4-0), the eventual tourney champion, handing the Trojans their only loss, 56-41, the day before. “It was fun to go and compete against Geneva,” Bolt said. “They’re a good team; it’s a good test for us at this point of the season. We have a high ceiling; we have an opportunity to get better is the way to look at it and we needed to fix some things.” What are some aspects of their game that the Trojans need to fix? Winters, who finished with a team-high 13 points versus Glenbard East, believes the biggest thing is simply getting to know each other a little bit better on the court, which will help cut down on turnovers. “I think we can have a really strong team as long as we start to read each other a little better,” she said. “I think a lot of our turnovers are because we don’t know where each other is going

We can be good; we just need a little more practice.” Geneva, which finished 26-7 a year ago and took fourth in the state in Class 4A, jumped out to a 22-10 lead by the end of the first quarter against the Trojans. “We really picked it up in the second, third and fourth quarters (vs. Geneva),” said Winters, who had 10 points in that game while Green led the club with 16. “Having such a deficit coming out of the first quarter hurt us, and I think we realized we can’t have bad first quarters against good teams. That was the most
important thing we got out of that is we’ve just got to play well from the tip and we can be with them.” The Trojans led 13-10 over Glenbard East at the end of the first quarter, and then outscored the Rams, 12-6 in the second period for a 25-16 halftime advantage. DGN rained three-pointers down on the Rams during the first half, with Green hitting two, while Porcelli and sophomore twin sisters Briigid and Colleen Miller sank one apiece. Brigid Miller finished with 12 points—all on threes.
“It was big for us; she can shoot the ball,” Bolt said. “She gets into a rhythm. It’s good to get her going a little bit and get some confidence, and she knocked down some shots, which helps.” Senior guard Izzy Greenblatt and junior forward Madison Farnsworth have now moved into the starting lineup this year. “We have some pieces back,” Bolt said. “Now it’s just how is it (all) going to fit together? We have some other kids who can contribute in different ways. I like our team a lot and we’re going to keep learning more about each other and moving forward and
getting a lot better as the year goes on.” The Trojans picked up two more wins last week, including a 77-72 double overtime win over Hinsdale Central. •Downers South took down Leyden 47-43.

The lead extended to nine points at the midpoint of the half and a quick 7-0 run turned a 17-10 lead into a 24-10 margin with 5:59 remaining. Benedictine made just eight shots in the first half and did not convert on any of seven three-pointers, trailing 34-18 at the break. John Dodson scored the first four points of the second for Benedictine and Tahron Harvey added a jumper to trim the margin to 34-24. Dodson and Harvey combined again as part of four straight to bring Benedictine within 37-31 with 14:24 remaining. The Eagles continued to battle on the road, tying the game for the first time

the game in the first half, trailing just 39-32. “We’re working on that in practice,” Schramek said. “(Kilbride) says we’re not mad enough to go get the ball. We’re all pretty happy. I think we need to work on our aggression to go get the ball. We box out, but don’t do it hard enough.” “I think the rebounding definitely was a problem in the first half,” Eshoo said. “We gave
up too many put-backs. Coach Kilbride emphasized that was the only reason they stayed in the game. I think it has definitely been a little issue because we aren’t as tall as the teams we have been playing, so boxing out is a really big key for our rebounding.” A game earlier, Benet defeated Loyola 61-53. Doyle had 18 points, Schramek added 16 points and Eshoo had 15 points.
