Woodridge

Police officer celebrates 20 years on the job

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

Carly Dineen-Griffin, 17, has never used heroin, but the Westmont High School senior has friends in surrounding communities who have been affected by this destructive drug.

“I’ve heard that heroin spread around through them, and so, naturally, I’m worried about them,” Dineen-Griffin said Wednesday after listening to an educational presentation called, “Heroin — The Suburban Secret.”

Students from all grade levels, parents and community members came together to hear a panel of speakers discuss the devastating effects of heroin and its growing use in DuPage County.

The Westmont Police Department, in collaboration with the Community Unit School District 201 and Maercker School District 60, held the presentation at Westmont High School.

Woodridge police officer Mark Walters has held many positions within the department since he began his career on Jan. 9, 1994.

His work as a tactical officer, a detective and a school resource officer are some of the highlights of Walter’s 20-year career, which was recognized Thursday evening by the Woodridge Village Board.

“He’s very passionate about his job, and he’s been a mentor to many police officers in the department,” Woodridge Police Chief Gina Grady said.

Walters spent five years as a detective and is currently the department’s school resource officer. In addition to these roles, Walters is also the department’s evidence technician, juvenile and gang specialist, and defensive tactics instructor. He holds two master’s degrees, including a criminal justice degree he recently earned while working within the department.

Record-setting snow limits salt availability This winter season is on pace to set records, with the snow total at Chicago O’Hare Airport now at 44.8 inches, which is tied with the 1977-78 season for the third highest snowfall total ever through January 21, 2014.

With this winter on pace to set records for snowfall, suppliers have noted shortages in the rock salt that is used to melt snow and ice on roadways.

The shortage has led Woodridge to stretch the material with sand so that traction on roads can be maintained while using less salt.

This effort is complimented by anti-icing efforts, where brine is applied to road surface to ease snow removal.

Despite the salt shortage, the village said it remains committed to providing safe roadways

for Woodridge residents and visitors.

Additional plowing and continued use of anti-icing strategies will be employed, with snow/ice removal efforts focused on main roads, along with curves, hills, overpasses and intersections.

The Village is asking motorists to take extra caution and be aware of the conditions on the roadways throughout the northern Illinois region. Tuning into local weather forecasts, allowing extra time for travel, increasing the distance between moving vehicles and reducing travel speed can all improve safety while driving this winter season.

South High’s Glenn Williams named 2014 all-state Jazz Band Conductor South High Department Chair of Fine Arts Glenn Williams has been selected to conduct the 2014 All-State Jazz Band, and will be recognized for 25 years of service in music education at the 2014 Illinois Music Education Conference this week in Peoria.

South High Department Chair of Fine Arts Glenn Williams has been selected to serve as the Illinois All-State Jazz Band Conductor at the 2014 Illinois Music Education Conference.

He will also be recognized for 25 years of service as a music educator during the conference, which will be held in Peoria.

“Glenn’s selection to serve as an all-state conductor is

an incredible honor, one that is typically bestowed upon collegiate professors or wellestablished professional recording artists,” said Brayer Teague, colleague and North High Department Chair of Fine Arts. “Glenn has made incredible contributions to the field of music education, and this appointment highlights the high degree to which educators from across the state recognize and admire Glenn as one of the premiere jazz educators in our nation.”

Students are selected by competitive audition to participate in the all-state jazz band. Over 2,000 student

musicians and music educators from across the state participate in the conference each year.

“We are so proud of Glenn for not only all that he does to spotlight our students and to nurture and grow their musical talents, but also for his own enormous talent and the recognition he receives from his peers,” South High Principal Stephan Bild said.“This honor is akin to a ‘Hall of Fame’ type of achievement, and it is definitely well deserved.”

Williams has worked at District 99 since 2005. He was one of the first teachers to achieve National Board Certification at the district.

The Woodridge Public Library is participating in the eRead Illinois Program, designed to increase access to e-books across the state. eRead Illinois is a two-year program designed to increase access to e-books for Illinois residents and grow e-book expertise among library staff and library system staff. Initial funding for eRead Illinois was provided by a grant from Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White through the Illinois State Library. Illinois Heartland Library System and Reaching Across Illinois Library System have partnered with the Illinois State Library and Baker & Taylor to provide this access.

Baker & Taylor’s Axis 360 is a digital media platform, providing libraries and their patrons

with a state-of-the-art system for circulating digital e-books from the eRead Illinois shared collection for Illinois libraries.

Patrons at libraries participating in eRead Illinois will use cloudbased delivery across a number of devices including iPad, iPhone, Android, NOOK, Sony Reader devices, and many more.

RAILS selected the Axis 360 platform for the eRead Illinois grant because of the breadth and depth of available titles, the flexibility of options to meet the diverse needs of our libraries across Illinois, and the ADA compliance of the Baker & Taylor Blio ereader. “Equal access for all users in RAILS member libraries is very important to us,” said Dee Brennan, executive director of Reaching Across Illinois Library System.

The eRead Illinois Axis 360 collection will publicly launch on Jan. 27. Additional information on how to access the eRead Illinois shared collection is available at www.woodridgelibrary.org.

She said that the educational presentation served

as a wakeup call about the heroin epidemic,but is optimistic that she and her fellow Operation Snowball leaders can help fight the spread of the drug into Westmont.

Bartlett Police Chief Kent Williams was one of the guest speakers during Wednesday’s presentation. Throughout most of his law enforcement career, he said heroin use was not a major problem in the western suburbs

of Chicago. However, once the drug started making inroads, he said he knew what to look for— acts of burglary, track marks and significant weight loss.

“Holy Cow,” the Bartlett police chief said. “It was rare, but when you did [see signs], you knew what you were looking at.”

Police help dispose of unused prescriptions ‘Pharm-ing’ parties, accidental overdose two dangers of unused medications

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

Westmont and Downers Grove police are warning residents of the dangers of unused prescription drugs and taking part in various efforts to assist in their disposal.

Westmont Police Chief Tom Mulhearn made an impassioned plea during Thursday’s village board meeting, asking residents to be responsible with their prescription drugs.

“We’re asking anyone, if you

have unused drugs, make sure they’re looked up,” he said.

“Watch who’s using your drugs; it should only be you.”

While discussing a recent heroin education forum, Mulhearn informed the board and those in attendance that children are also using prescription drugs to get a “cheap high.” He described a phenomenon called “pharming” parties, during which time adolescents will ingest or snort crushed-up pharmaceutical drugs they have taken from

parents’ or grandparents’ Prevention Specialist Mary medicine cabinets.

“Don’t send them down your toilet. Do it the right way.”

Public Library launches Google Glass Explorer Program Library staff shows patrons future technology—now Downers Grove Public Library Information Technology Manager Dale Galiniak jumped on the opportunity to purchase Google’s newest technological gadget, Google Glass, to be a part of the multinational Internet company’s Explorer Program.

This beta testing program

allows library staff and members to try out the wearable computer—known as Google Glass—before it is officially released to the public.

Those interested in trying out the futuristic glasses can schedule a one-on-one appointment with library staff by emailing techsupport@

dglibrary.org. See how to stream video, view apps, update social media and read the news.

Future uses might some day accommodate streamlining library functions, like scanning barcodes and browsing books for information.

“It’s not very often that you get the chance to see a new piece of technology, one that has the potential of being a game changer in the way Google Glass does, before it is released to the public,” Galiniak said.

So far feedback has been

positive as the library works to show staff and patrons the future technology.

Book a tech appointments can be made to try out Google Glass and for other computer-related projects, such as organizing PowerPoint presentations, editing photos, and setting up an email account. Call 630-9601200 or email techsupport@ dglibrary.org to set up a time that works for you.

Grady praised Walters’ career up to this point, saying he has worked a number of good cases in his 20 years on the job. One of the cases Grady remembered

Seniors leading Mustangs through coaching change

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Prior to this season, Downers Grove South girls basketball coach Ellen O’Brien retired from coaching after 23 years on the bench in order to become an administrator at the school.

The Mustangs turned the program over to 25-year-old Lyndsie Long a first-time head coach on the heels of a stellar playing career at Elmhurst College.

At the beginning of the season, the seniors were left wondering what would come of the change, but after nearly a whole season together, when the team celebrated senior night Saturday, both the veteran players and rookie coach had nothing but good things to say about the transition.

“At first I was apprehensive because I was on varsity all four years and I had coach O’Brien since my freshman year and I was comfortable with her,” said senior Claire Hardy. “It took me a while to get comfortable with coach Long, but now since we have gotten to know each other better, I am happy with the change.”

The change not only meant a new coach, but new teammates, as the Mustangs featured 11 new faces to the roster, including a pair of freshmen.

“It was difficult in the beginning because we all had to get used to playing with each other and playing for a new coach because we had all new girls, but it was great and we all came together,” said senior Nicole Landrosh. “It has been super fun for me. With a new coach, I saw it as an opportunity to help the younger girls grow and progress in their basketball skills. It has been super fun getting to know all of them.”

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Claire Hardy scored 20 points for Downers South in a 56-40 loss to Proviso East Saturday.

Long said having those seniors there, especially in the beginning, was crucial to the program transition getting off on the right foot.

“It was extremely important,” Long said. “(Senior) Melissa (McLean), who is out with an ACL, led them the whole preseason with workouts and running through plays and doing open gyms and being in charge and being a leader out there and that kind of eased

my way when I started because they already knew what we were going to do. Claire and Nikki have done a great job and have done what I have asked them to do. All three of them are captains.”

Long said that while the other players honored on senior night, Bridget Ruder, Alexis Conklin and Cierrae Caver, don’t get the floor time that Landrosh and Hardy do, their roles are just as important.

“The other seniors have been great,” Long said. “They know their role on the team and they work their butts off every day. I am trying to get in their heads that even if they are not on the floor, the bench is just important and you can see that when they are standing up and cheering and being there for their teammates on the floor.

They are a fun group and will be missed a lot. It has been a fun season even though we have

gone through a lot of adversity and we aren’t winning every game, but they work their butts off and that’s all I can ask.

Sports

Players, coaches and media can learn from Sherman The Seattle Seahawks’ R i c h a r d Sherman made headlines after the NFC Championship game because of his postgame comments.

Even as a Seahawk fan, I agree that he went over the top, although it wasn’t all his fault.

Sticking a microphone in a player’s face right after an intense game, particularly a player who has been known for talking trash on the record, isn’t the best idea, either.

One positive thing about the exchange is there is something we can all learn from it, from the kids watching the game with their parents to high school athletes who may be interviewed by press members.

There is an appropriate way to conduct yourself, and it is important to know and try to avoid bringing all the attention to yourself in a team game.

I will break down what coaches, athletes and the media can do at the high school level to avoid these kinds of quotes in the future:

COACHES/ADs When athletic directors and/ or coaches have their meetings to start the season, they should talk about how to handle interviews.

Coaches should continue to remind their players throughout the season and should have the players practice interviewing each other. You never know when a player will be interviewed, even if they don’t play much.

The most important thing to stress is to talk about your

teammates and not put down your opponents.

On top of this, coaches should conduct themselves in an appropriate manner in their interviews, as they are the role models for the athletes when it comes to this.

Coaches at the high school level shouldn’t be calling out other coaches or opposing players in their interviews.

Although sometimes I like when they do it, they shouldn’t really call out the referees, either.

They should also be there for their players. What I mean by this is, win or lose, they should make themselves available to the press. A one-sentence comment and leaving isn’t a good way to show your players you are a good sport. Declining to comment or avoiding the press is even worse.

Coaches are supposed to be there for their athletes, not themselves, and they should want to promote their players at all times. If you don’t want

the press there when you lose, the press may not care to be there when you win.

This is especially difficult at the end of the season when athletes’ careers have ended.

When a coach won’t talk, it forces the media to go to the players. Understandably, it is hard for them to talk sometimes, knowing their season or career is over. It is a perfect time for the coach to cover for the players and answer all questions so if players don’t want to talk, it is OK. When the press has to get comments from 16-year-olds rather than adults, that isn’t a good sign for the adult.

Remember, you are there to be a leader and a teacher for your athletes.

Athletic directors should remind coaches that they should be available for the media after games as well.

ATHLETES In a team sport, it is always

good to bring up your teammates during the interview. Obviously you can’t do everything yourself, and it will make your teammates feel better when they are mentioned in a story when they aren’t interviewed.

If all you do is talk about yourself, this could rub teammates the wrong way and cause bad chemistry.

The best starting player I’ve seen at mentioning teammates is former Plainfield North football player Kapri Bibbs. I think just about every time I interviewed him, his first comment was thanking his offensive line.

It also is important not to put down your opponents.

Off the top of my head, I don’t remember too many cases of this, but there have been some.

The final thing you should be aware of is to not say you are or your team is the best. This is also bulletin board material for opponents and makes you come off cocky to some, even >> see LEARN | page 14

North tops South in preparation for postseason

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Whenever Downers North and Downers South tangle in any athletic endeavor, there’s always that extra incentive to try and defeat your cross-town rival.

“It’s always been a pretty historic rivalry for us, and we always seem to have some of our best swims of the season at this meet,” said senior John Derrig, who helped Downers North defeat DGS, 101-84, in a dual meet last week.

“We know all of the guys through club teams,” said Mustangs senior Jack Ebersold.“I swim with a lot of them so it’s kind of nice to see them.”

Yet securing bragging rights wasn’t the emphasis at this particular meet. The focus was on preparing for the upcoming postseason, which includes conference meets and sectionals.

The West Suburban Conference meet takes place on Saturday, Feb. 8, and the Trojans and Mustangs will meet again as part of the 14team Downers North sectional two weeks later on Feb. 22.

Downers South coach Brian Szweda viewed the meet with DGN as practice for the weeks ahead.

“We had a full practice beforehand (prior to the dual with DGN),” he said, “because our goal is to swim fast at the end of the year and this is an opportunity for us to swim tired but still have some really good races. Coach (Adam) Bruesch does a nice job with the Downers North guys and it’s always fun to swim against them.”

Szweda said the Mustangs’ 200yard medley relay team, of which Ebersold is a part, has a shot at getting downstate. DGS won the event last week in a time of 1:44.55, but the team—which also consists of sophomores Sam Dumford and Mike Tegeler, and junior Dexter Allendorfer—likely will need to post a time under the state qualifying standard of 1:38.27 to get to state.

“Right now that’s just our main goal is working towards the end of the season,” said Ebersold, who also swims the 100 butterfly.

“Before this meet we swam a few miles so our goal is just to really train hard and push through. Our goal is towards the end of the season for that conference and sectional meet.”

The Mustangs have been strong in diving the past few years.

Perennial state placewinner Ryan Kujawa has graduated, but senior Josh Jaeger is a returning state qualifier and likely will represent DGS at state again.

Jaeger placed ninth at the recent Hinsdale Central Diving Invite.

“It’s probably the most prestigious invite for diving that they have all year,” Szweda said. “For him to place and have a chance to come back a second time at state, it should be interesting to see how he does.

He’s a talented kid, he’s really athletic and he should be right there to place in the top 12 (at state).”

Meanwhile, Bruesch points to Derrig and junior Bob Bonanno as possible state hopefuls.

Bonanno’s best events are the 50 and 100 freestyle, while Derrig competes in the 100 butterfly and 100 breaststroke.

Versus Downers South, Bonanno won the 100 freestyle race in 51.72 seconds, and Derrig took both the 100 butterfly (55.42) and the 100 breaststroke (1:03.38).

“They’re our top swimmers on the team this year,” Bruesch said.

“Both of them are extremely hard workers, so we expect them to taper really well. They work so hard and they’re very focused and dedicated and they’ve had a goal all season long to get there.They’re still a little ways away, but they’re working and getting close.

“Our senior class, we’ve got good leadership there. They’re strong, they’re motivating and they get other people involved.”

Bruesch considers the Trojans’ 200 medley relay, with Bonanno, Derrig, senior Patrick Chapa and

junior Hugo Martinez, to be his team’s strongest relay.

“Our medley relay looks pretty strong,” Derrig said. “We lost a lot of depth this year (from last year), but overall a lot of our big guns returned so we have a lot of quality swimmers.”

Derrig said he’d like to finish his prep career with a trip to Evanston High School—the site of this year’s state meet.

“I haven’t been to state,” he said, “but every year I’ve been on the team I’ve made it to sectionals and every year I’ve improved.” mike@buglenewspapers.com

>> LEARN, FROM PAGE 12 if you are just trying to be confident.

The best way to attack this is to say, “When we play our best, we are capable of beating anybody.” That makes people realize your confidence, while not saying you’re the best and nobody can beat you, you can only beat yourself.

While some people understand what you mean,

there will always be those who take it the wrong way, and it is better safe than sorry.

MEDIA For those aspiring journalists, it is important to maintain positive relationships with players and coaches. You don’t want to throw them under the bus by putting their worst quotes in there all the time. Use good judgment.

A lot of times when a coach

Sports talks bad about the refs, I won’t use the quote. If I really agree or that is basically the whole conversation, I probably will, because I have to run something. But if it is said right away so the coach can get it off their chest and move on, more often than not I’ll leave it out.

When coaches or athletes make a comment you think could get them in trouble, it might be best to leave it out if you have better options. If it is

a weekly paper, you may want to contact a coach the next day to make sure the comment is OK. I remember after an event last year a coach was very upset with his team and said some pretty interesting stuff.

Sure it was a great quote and sells papers but it didn’t make him look good and could have gotten him in trouble.

I contacted him a couple days later, and he didn’t even

remember he said that, and asked if I wouldn’t run it and I didn’t. I’m not in the business to make others look bad.

The last thing to be thoughtful of is the emotion right after the game. Always ask to interview the player or coach before automatically sticking a recorder in their face, especially immediately after the game, such as what Erin Andrews did to Sherman.

Normally, if I see a coach or player before they go to the locker room, I will ask if I can talk to them now, or if they want to talk to their team first.

Overall, if everyone is respectful of one another and their environment, there is no reason for issues like what Sherman has to go through.

Right or wrong, you don’t want to be the topic of discussion; you want the team to be that discussion.

“I have learned a lot of skills from being a leader and having everything be so new and learning everything with the younger girls,” she said. “They all have so much heart and they stay after and shoot free throws and they come early and shoot around. They have grown a lot.

They are not afraid to ask us questions because we are so open with them, so we try and help them out.”

“They have matured and they are fun to be around. They are so full of energy and it brings our mood up in practice,” Hardy said. “How they will be in four years, hopefully we will be the leaders that they look up to.”

The Mustangs dropped their senior night game 56-40 to Proviso East.

Ava Porlier scored 10 points, freshman Kasandra Rugienius added six, while Landrosh tallied four and Hardy scored half of South’s points, netting 20.

“In the beginning of the season, I was double and triple teamed and now it takes some of the pressure off that other girls are stepping up and taking some of the weight off my shoulders,” Hardy said. “Now I can make passes instead of only scoring and help the team that way.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

Hawks take fight out of Bulldogs, now 6-0 in CSL South

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

After playing four competitive games in three days at the Galesburg Martin Luther King tourney, Maine South’s boys basketball team got a bit of an oncourt breather at home against conference opponent Waukegan last Friday.

The Hawks led 14-3 after one quarter, 29-8 at intermission, and the Bulldogs didn’t break into double digits until three minutes into the third period. Maine South ended up winning 64-31; the Hawks remain undefeated in the CSL South (6-0) and are 15-5 overall.

“After a long weekend, it was great to have us come out as a team and beat them like that,” said senior guard Andrew Palucki, one of three Hawks in double figures with 12 points.“Our guys off the bench are great; they were relaxed. They (Waukegan) still had their starters in and they (reserves) brought it to them so I was really happy for our guys.”

Maine South started the game with a 14-0 run, capped by a free throw from junior George Sargeant (13 points). With five minutes to go in the second period, the Hawks upped their lead to 23-4 following a steal and layup by sophomore Jon Arenas, whose 15 points led the team.

John Kozak’s putback at the buzzer provided Maine South with its halftime cushion.

“I thought we played really well,” said Maine South coach Tony Lavorato. “I thought we rebounded well,and we really got the ball up the floor in transition.

Execution is still getting better little by little, but I’m really happy with where we’re at.

“Waukegan is a very athletic and well-coached team.It’s one of those (games) where I guarantee you they were off a little bit. We always talk about that you control what you can control, and I was really proud about how our kids kept playing.”

Lavorato also is proud of the

way senior Sean Maloney has stepped up in place of starting point guard Caleb deMarigny, who’s been out with mono since mid-January.

“He’s been doing it unbelievable job,” Lavorato said “Sean is one of those kids that’s played point guard his whole life. One of the things he’s done is that he’s played more minutes than he’s played all year so he had to get his wind and he had to slow himself down and stay out of foul trouble. Now he’s running it and you’re starting to see him get that swagger back.”

Maloney, who’s started the past six games in deMaringy’s absence, said the Hawks’ condensed schedule during the MLK tourney helped him settle into the role. Although the Hawks didn’t win the tourney, they went 3-1 over a 72-hour period.

“Right away there was so much going on in my head,” Maloney said. “But after the weekend when we had four games in three days, we were able to see everything that teams run against us, so now I’m calming down, I think, and I’m getting into the sets better.” deMarigny sat on the bench in street clothes last Friday. Lavorato said he may begin taking part in non-contact drills, but that’s all for now.

“Mono is a liver sickness, but it also is inflammation of the spleen,” Lavorato said. “The spleen is what the big problem is. If he gets contact on the spleen when it’s swollen and it explodes, now we’ve got major surgery. Anybody with mono has to have no contact until the spleen goes back to normal; it’s usually a minimum of three weeks.

“But I think when he starts feeling better, which is now, he may come back. He’s going to shoot, he’s going to do some conditioning, but not contact stuff until his spleen goes down to normal.”

MLK Shootout Maine South, the defending

champions of the Galesburg Martin Luther King tournament, finished 3-2 overall at this year’s tourney, won by the host Silver Streaks.

The Hawks concluded the tourney on MLK Day with games against Galesburg in the morning and Eisenhower in the afternoon.

Galesburg upended the Hawks,

62-47, as the Silver Streaks jumped on Maine South early, taking a 14-7 first-quarter lead.

Palucki tallied 14 points, Sargeant 12 and Davis Neilands 10.

The Hawks rebounded that afternoon with a 70-50 triumph over Eisenhower.

Sargeant dropped in 24 points, while Palucki had 15 and Arenas 13. mike@buglenewspapers.com

Business & Real Estate

dave says

Don’t neglect to pay the IRS this tax season Don’t become a blip on government’s radar screen by being late with payments Dear Dave, My husband has his own business installing windows. As a result, we now have IRS and state tax debt. We’re managing the payments, but where should these debts be placed in the debt snowball plan?

Olivia Dear Olivia, I don’t usually cheat on the smallest to largest progression of the debt snowball, but I’d recommend moving these debts to the top of the list.

Both state and federal taxes

come with ridiculous penalties and interest rates, and the authorities at either level have virtually unlimited power at their disposal to screw with your life if something bad happens. The IRS can actually take your money without suing you. So, you don’t want to become a blip on their radar screen by being late with payments.

Get it cleaned up as quickly as possible, Olivia.You don’t want to mess around with these guys!

—Dave

Check on the checking account Dear Dave, My husband died eight years ago, and I never closed his bank accounts that were opened when we lived in another state. We lived in Florida before moving to Oregon. I didn’t probate the estate, and he did not have a will.

I’m trying to work with the banks to get this settled, but they’re giving me the runaround. Do you have any advice?

Melinda Dear Melinda, The first thing you need to do is contact an attorney who handles estate planning. If the accounts were opened in Florida, but you both lived in Oregon at the time of his death, technically the estate would be probated in Oregon.

That may be what has to happen.

If so, a judge would appoint you as executor. As executor, you can close the accounts and disperse any money to the rightful heir—

Both state and federal taxes come with ridiculous penalties and interest rates, and the authorities at either level have virtually unlimited power at their disposal to screw with your life if something bad happens. which is you.

Be prepared, though. It may take somewhere between $250 and $500 in attorney fees and court costs to make this happen.

If you’re lucky, you might get a simple motion from the court that would cost you next to nothing.

But find a good estate planning attorney who knows Oregon law inside and out. Estate laws and probate laws differ from state to state, and Florida and Oregon both have some weird laws in these areas.

This probably seems like a lot of trouble, but you have to remember the banks are simply trying to protect themselves and follow the law.Anyone could walk

in with a death certificate (they’re public record), and claim to be an heir. So, they have to have a court document in order to avoid any potential liability.

I’m sorry for your loss, Melinda.

I know it still hurts after all this time, but you need to address this as soon as possible. I’m sure it’s what your husband would have wanted.
