February has picked up where last month’s severe weather left off, as an additional 7.4 inches of snow fell in Downers Grove between Feb. 4 and 6. If the severity of this winter season persists, the village expects to exceed its original snow removal budget.

However, Kozlowski said there is no danger of snow operations being deterred if this happened.

“Public Works would continue snow plowing; there would be no slowdown in the work,” he said.“In the event we do go over that budgeted amount, we would work throughout the year as a team to find the efficiencies and save wherever else we could.”

“The allegations against Mr. McKenna are outrageous,” DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said. “Robbing someone who is trying to make an honest living at gunpoint will not be tolerated and will be met with the full force of the law.”

The ongoing nature of this season’s snow operations also has taken a toll in village equipment. Village Manager Dave Fieldman said the Public Works Department has driven more than 60,000 miles for snow and ice removal since Dec. 1.

“We did have a couple pieces of equipment go down with this continuous use,” he said.

“The wear and tear has been noticeable, and our response has been great. Our fleet management services have done a tremendous job.”

Fieldman added that although regional supply chain issues and increased demand have strained salt supplies this year, managing this supply is a challenge every year.

However, he said the village has monitored its use, and had to go “conservation mode” only twice this year.

Tully used his state of the village address to highlight Downers Grove’s successful efforts in obtaining federal relief funds, while declaring that ongoing stormwater management is critical to preventing future floods.

I’m not going to tell you the state of the village is strong. I’m going to show you the state of our village is strong and on the path of sustained success.”

- Mayor Martin Tully

“Those rains and the flooding associated with [this storm] hit our village and residents pretty hard,” Tully said. “The village of Downers Grove worked with other governments and agencies to obtain federal funds to help mitigate those costs.”

The village directly received over $100,000, from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, while 522 Downers Grove residents received more than $1.6 million in federal relief.

Tully added that improvements to the stormwater system have helped many Downers Grove residents receive a 20 percent premium discount on their flood insurance.

Infrastructure

The stormwater system wasn’t the only infrastructure work that occurred in the village, as $20 million was spent on various capital projects in 2013.

Tully highlighted several of the major projects, which focused on streets and sidewalk repairs. A project to improve sections of Washington Street near downtown cost $940,000 and included watermain and storm sewer replacement, reconstruction of curbs and sidewalks, and road resurfacing.

A similar project in the Concord Square Unit 2 subdivision cost $2.8 million. An additional $4 million was spent on general roadway maintenance, Tully added.

“These projects were all done without change orders and within budget, which is a testament to the good management by or public works and other staff out in the field,” he said.

Tully also praised the village’s efforts in helping to facilitate improvements to the electrical infrastructure.

By hosting an annual ComEd town hall

meeting,Tully said the village has improved its relationship with electrical service provider and generated specific work lists of items for ComEd to address.

“Every year, these town hall meetings do bring relief and improvements to the affected areas,” he said.

Village Finances and Economic Development 2013 was also a big year for Downers Grove business.

Standard and Poors upgraded the village’s bond rating to AAA, which is the highest rating issued by the financial services company. Tully lauded the rating for its ability to save the village money and foster a thriving business climate.

“It’s independent confirmation of the village’s sound financial practices,” Tully said. “It also has allowed us to achieve the lowest cost of borrowing money that we could.”

William Porch, of Westmont, also joined his teammate, Duffy, at this year’s Winter Games.

Unlike Duffy, Porch competed in the 50-meter and the 1K cross-country ski events, where he achieved gold and bronze medals.

Prior to competing in the Winter Games, Duffy and his three other teammates visited Chestnut Mountain recently to practice for the upcoming games.

During that trip, the athletes had the opportunity to ski the same hills they did during the Winter Games.

“This is my favorite part of the year by far,” said Pavesich, who added that the entire town of Galena embraces the event, including the “ski buddies.” This is what recreation should be about.”

“Our guys are doing great, bundled up, bearing with the elements,” said Hirthe, who praised the athletes’ hard work.

After being outside for a while, the teams headed into the Mississippi Room at the Chestnut Mountain lodge to warm up with hot chocolate and other snacks provided at the hospitality booth.

“I just like that Mike has this skill and the people that he gets to be with when he skis, said Laura Duffy.“He loves to travel, go fast, and I just want him to have a nice time here with all the folks that are here.”

On Tuesday evening, everyone headed down the mountain to Galena’s historic downtown for the Opening Ceremonies. The evening began with the parade of athletes down Main Street.

“The RAMP process encouraged all of us to seek best practices in providing services to students, and now we have evidence to validate the positive impact that our counselors make on students at South High,” counseling and student support services department chair Vince WalshRock said.“This was a departmentwide effort, and we are honored to be a RAMP-certified school.”

One outcome of the RAMP certification process was an initiative to increase enrollment in Advanced Placement and Honors courses for African American students. As a result of meeting with students throughout the spring, enrollment in these courses in the fall increased not only among African American students, but also among Hispanic and all other students.

Ceremonies concluded with the passing of the Special Olympics Torch. The blazing flame of hope was lit by Special Olympics athlete and Special Olympics Global Messenger John Henley from Southern Illinois.

Referring to his fellow athletes, Henley officially opened the 2014 Winter Games by saying,“They’re always, always champions to me.”

After the Opening Ceremonies, all the teams headed to local restaurants for dinner.

The sponsors, families and VIPs headed to the Eagle Ridge resort for a reception. Among the many speakers, Colleen Costello, a Special Olympics athlete and

Remain thrifty with your cash and generous when people make mistakes.

Sit on your hands.

Ambitions could rise up and swallow you whole, so it’s best not to meddle or tinker with a situation until your judgment improves. In the week ahead, maintain a low profile and get plenty of rest whenever you can.

The week ahead may bring old friends back into your immediate vicinity or put you in contact with the elderly. Adjust your attitude to meet or exceed the expectations of others. A job or assignment may be repetitive and monotonous.

Use old-fashioned good manners to avoid a showdown. Your natural inclination to be a peacemaker can come in handy in a dispute. You might feel insecure about your financial status or creative abilities in the week ahead.

Take to heart the Dalai Lama’s words in the week to come. You may face numerous opportunities to do the wrong thing.

Your “stuff and nonsense” meter might be going full blast this week. People may seem critical and accusatory with little reason, but it’s up to you to avoid confrontations. A petty quarrel could cause more trouble than it’s worth.

Hold off on starting any new projects or making any important commitments in the week ahead. This is a time to refine your plans and look for loopholes or pitfalls.

Trojans take gold in WSC Silver

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

When Sarah Costello first donned her Downers Grove North varsity basketball uniform as a freshman, the Trojans posted a record of 11-13-1.

That was the most wins she would see as a varsity player over her first three seasons, going 7-19 as a sophomore and 9-19 a season ago for an overall record of 27-511 in three years.

Costello and the Trojans never stopped working and as of last weekend, they posted a 20-win season and with a 53-43 win over Lyons Township Friday night North (21-3) secured its first-ever West Suburban Conference Silver Division title.

“This has been great,” Costello said.“We have put in a lot of work and it is great to see the work pay off and get wins this year. It has been great. No game is given to us, we have to work for every game and I like that.”

The Trojans followed that up with a 58-35 win over cross-town rival Downers Grove South.

North coach Stephan Bolt admitted after that he had some nerves of a letdown after such an emotional win the night before. “(Lyons Township) gave a good fight and it was a tough game, so after being that high, it is hard to come out and do it again the next night,” Bolt said. “We fought

through a little of that in the first quarter and then focused better as the game went on.”

Costello tallied 13 points in the rivalry game, while Jaida Green had a game-high 21 points and Peyton Winters scored nine.

“We come focused for every game,” said Costello, who is committed to the University of Indianapolis. “We have a lot of confidence, but no matter what seed we have, we still have to work hard because there are good teams who want to beat us.”

For Downers Grove South and first-year head coach Lyndsie Long, the turnaround for the Trojan program shows the Mustangs what they are striving for.

“They are an awesome, awesome team,” Long said of North. “Everyone seemed really excited for the crosstown rivalry and just put records aside, but they have a lot of powerhouses in their starting five. You try and take away Jaida Green and then you have Costello and (Winters).

If you take away one, they have the other two to hurt you.”

Despite it being her first year in the district, Long knows the history of the programs and knows it didn’t take North long to rebuild with good, young talent, something she hopes to achieve at South.

Lions use comeback to secure bragging rights

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Mike Sandrolini/Bugle Staff

Connor Bielat and Lisle used a second-half comeback to beat Westmont.

Both Lisle and Westmont’s boys basketball teams have endured tough seasons, but those struggles were put on the backburner when the two I-8 rivals faced off last Friday at Westmont.

One of the Lions’ team goals for 2013-14 was to defeat the Sentinels, and they did just that, overcoming a halftime deficit—and two of its inside players fouling out in the fourth quarter—to top Westmont, 67-62.

“They’ve had their share of toils this year,” said Lisle coach Mark LaScala, “and still they’ve come into practice and worked hard and it means a lot to them to beat their rival in their gym. It feels great; they’re excited and it was great to see smiles at the end of the game.”

No one on the Lions was smiling more than 6-6 senior forward Jeremy Glavanovits and sophomore guard Nick Massura.

The duo helped put Lisle ahead to stay during a back-and-forth fourth quarter in which Lions’ forward Zach Trussell and 6-7 senior center Shane Murray were whistled for their fifth fouls within 11 seconds of each other.

Greg Pietrzak of Westmont sank a free throw after Murray fouled out to give the Sentinels a 57-56 lead with 2:37 remaining.

But Glavanovits powered his way inside for a bucket to put the Lions back in front, and Massura hit two free throws for a 60-57 Lisle lead.

“It feels great,” said Massura, who scored a team-high 17 points. “We had three goals at the beginning of the season: win the championship, keep our grade-point average up and beat Westmont and we did it.”

“We have a lot of depth on our team and we all stick together and play hard,” added Glavanovits, who had 15 points.“We know the guy behind us and the guy in front of us one through 15 will have our backs and do anything for us.

We just were focused from the get-go; we wanted to win this.”

The Lions extended their lead to 62-57 after Massura drove to the hoop in the closing minute, and senior Connor Bielat (15 points) added a pair of free throws with 16.1 seconds to go.

Westmont (5-15, 2-3) took

control of the foul-plagued contest (46 were called) in the first half behind senior guard Montraveous Little, who scored 11 of his 15 first-half points during the first quarter.The Sentinels led 23-15 at the end of the quarter, and went on a 7-2 run to begin the second period. Little capped the run by feeding John Kelly for a layup. The senior, who tallied 18 points, then converted a free throw for a three-point play and a 30-17 lead.

The shifty Little dropped in a game-high 23 points, but he was the focal point of Westmont’s offense. The Sentinels were without starting point guard Danny LoGiurato, who has a deep thigh bruise and missed the game. Reserve center Nikolay Petrov also didn’t suit up due to an injury.

“Unfortunately we were a little undermanned today,” Westmont coach Craig Etheridge said. “We didn’t have a lot of depth. The game went the way I expected it to; unfortunately we got tired and missed some layups in the second half that I think was primarily the difference in the game.

“We were missing his (LoGiurato’s) speed and defensive pressure, and it also allows us to attack the basket a little more aggressively. Monte did a great job today, but when I have both of those guys on the floor we can have both guys going hard and it creates matchup problems.”

Murray’s two-handed dunk was the highlight of an 11-4 Lisle surge that trimmed Westmont’s lead to 34-28 near the end of the second quarter. Little closed out the period with two free throws to provide the Sentinals with a 36-28 halftime advantage.

But the Lions busted out of the gate in the third with a 10-0 run, and Glavanovits gave Lisle (4-19, 3-3) its first lead of the game, 3836, on a deuce inside the paint.

“At halftime we just talked about (that) we had 16 minutes to make up eight points and we didn’t need to do it right away,” LaScala said, “but they went ahead and did it right away. We talked about staying disciplined and running our offense and not deviating from what we practice every day.

Downers South’s Deandre Washington shoots a three-pointer in the Mustangs’ 68-55 win over Downers North Saturday.

DGS beats DGN in rivalry game

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

While the weather outside may have called for heavy snowfall Saturday night, it was raining inside the gym at Downers Grove South High School.

Raining three point field goals that is.

The host Mustangs nailed 11 three-pointers in the game, shooting a total of 26 in the contest en route to a 68-55 win over crosstown rival Downers Grove North.

South buried eight of those threes in the first half and four in the first four minutes of the game. >> see RIVALRY | page 14

>> RIVALRY, from page 13 The four early triples, along with a trio of free throws from Danny Spinuzza,who was fouled shooting a three, game the Mustangs a 15-0 lead out of the gate.

“We are a perimeter team and we have five guys on the floor at all times who can shoot it, so we are going to shoot a lot of threes,” said South coach Kris Olson.“The thing about those shots is, they are good shots.We are open and if we

are open, we are going to shoot it.”

Kovas Rugienius and Paul Engo III led the way with a trio of threes each, while Danny Spinuzza, Deandre Washington, Matt Zinnecker, Darryl Howard and Wes Dahle all connected on one.

“We played at our pace. We wanted to get up and play very, very up tempo.That is our strength, we would have a hard time if we didn’t,” Olson said. “We can score

Sports inside, but if people pack it in on us, we are in trouble. The second half they did a great job of getting us, but we were able to get in there and slash and get to the basket.”

Olson said the confidence to green light his players came from former NBA player and current Iowa State University head coach Fred Hoiberg.

“I am close friends with Fred Hoiberg from college and if you watch Iowa State, that is how they play,” Olson said. “We went

to watch them practice early in the year and he kind of loosened me up and told me, if the guys can shoot, let them shoot. So, I let them shoot.”

The barrage of threes was not a surprise to the Trojans, in fact, they had prepared for the onslaught, but just did not execute the game plan in the first half.

“Our game plan and what we practiced was pushing the perimeter out to about 23 feet and we didn’t do a good job of doing that,” said North coach Jim Thomas.“We wanted to take away what they wanted to do and make them beat us on the interior. That was our kids not executing on the game plan. I think they were a little too careful on their close outs because they didn’t because they didn’t want to get blown by and as a result, Downers South shot the heck out of it.”

North did not go away quietly despite getting behind early.

The Trojans went on a 9-0 run in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to six at 59-53, thanks mostly to sophomore Devin Blake, who tallied 16 of his career-best 26 points in the second half despite being in foul trouble.

“I thought on the second quarter, we did a better job of slowing the game down and then in the third, Devin Blake did a great job of putting us on his back and that was big time,” Thomas said. “We got it to six and I thought we were in a position where we could get a timeout and get a possession to let a three ride and I thought we got some good looks.

“It is hard to win a rivalry game on the road when you spot somebody 15 points to start. It was all said and done when it was 15-0.We had to use all that energy coming back and then we needed some things to go our way at the end when we got to six and we didn’t.”

Spinuzza paced Downers South with 12 points, while Dahle

added 10 points and Engo III and Zinnecker each chipped in nine.

Plainfield East beats North, leads SPC

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

A packed house and Comcast Sportsnet were on hand Friday night for the battle of 119th street between Plainfield North and Plainfield East.

Despite losing to the Tigers at North 78-72 earlier this year, the Bengals held a game lead in the Southwest Prairie Conference heading into the evening.

That lead grew to two games with a 69-48 win.

“We have had our goals set up from the beginning of the season and we want to win conference,” East senior Nick Novak said. “We were hanging around second or third and some chips fell in our favor. Now we are playing every game is the championship game and hopefully we can win out in conference.”

With North and Plainfield South both losing, the Bengals (14-7, 8-2) own a two-game lead over both, as well as Minooka, who are all 6-4 with four games remaining.

Even with the nice cushion, it isn’t time to crown the Bengals the champs just yet.

“To think we were a game down two weeks ago,” East coach Branden Adkins said.

“This is not over. There are still a lot of games left. We have South Friday, who had a 14-point lead on us and then Oswego, who beat us at their house.We can’t get too far ahead. If we win out we can get to 20 wins, which would be great for the program with where we were around Christmas time when we were .500.”

“We have to stay focused,” East senior Myles Ward said.“We can’t get too high or too low. We have to stay focused and keep winning these games.”

North scored the first two points of the game Friday night, but that would be its only lead of the game.

East took a 17-7 lead early in the second quarter and would keep a double-digit advantage the rest of the game. The Bengals led 31-13 at the half and 46-28 after three.

“It all starts with defense,”Ward

said. “If we can get turnovers, we can get easy baskets.”

The Tigers scored eight straight points early in the fourth quarter to get to within 12 at 48-36, but that would be as close as they would get as East went on an 8-1 run to put the game away.

“We were able to attack the basket and get some layups,” Adkins said. “They can go on some runs and score six or eight points quickly. We limited those runs tonight.”

It was a balanced attack for the Bengals as Ward had 17, Novak 16 and Aaron Jordan 15.

“They told me to keep attacking and be aggressive,”Ward said.“We always start out slow so we had to come out fast today. At the beginning of the season I think we relied on Aaron too much, but now I think we figured it out and everyone started scoring. Once they stop worrying about Aaron so much, then we can get him the ball.”

“Myles did a great job getting to the bucket,” Novak said.“He’s our point guard and our leader on the floor, so when he gets going it turns out well.”

“We thought we could attack the basket,” Adkins said. “Myles took that challenge. I told him he needed to be a floor leader tonight and make good decisions.

He was aggressive and tough and distributed it when he needed to. We knew they were going to faceguard Aaron but other guys contributed and that is what we needed and will continue to need.”

Trevor Stumpe scored 18 for the Tigers and Kevin Krieger added 12.

“We threw some stuff at them that I thought they really struggled with,” Adkins said. “We switched on screens and it was stop Trevor by committee.We communicated well on the other guys. They seemed a little stagnant.They like to score quick and I thought we slowed them down.”

“We couldn’t make a shot and we didn’t run any offense at all,” North coach Robert Krahulik said. “There was no motion, no

movement, no cutting hard. We maybe made two hard cuts the whole game.

“Maybe they were a little tight.

They knew how big this game was.

“They knew we needed it for conference. They knew it was

on T.V. A lot of different factors could have affected it. A lot of the shots were short, which was surprising.”

Now two games back with four to go, the Tigers are starting to turn their attention towards the postseason.

“Now we’re going to build up for regionals,” Krahulik said. “We have four games left. We have to focus on playing good defense, which wasn’t that bad tonight, and moving and cutting.”

although complete prevention of sportsrelated concussions may be impossible, many measures are being taken to lower risks.

These include rule changes and improvements in protective gear such as helmets and mouth guards. However, there is limited evidence to demonstrate if these have resulted in an actual reduction in concussions. The most important part of caring for athletes with head injuries continues to be education regarding recognizing the signs of concussion and the importance of seeking proper medical attention. one of the most important considerations is determining when it is safe to allow the athlete to return to practice and competition. Because each individual will recover at a different pace, there is no established schedule, but there are clear guidelines that must be followed. No one should ever be allowed to play on the same day. pediatricians and families should err on the side of caution and, “When in doubt - sit them out.”

Young athletes should be cleared to return to play only when completely symptom free both while at rest and during exertion. families should be warned that studies have shown that the recovery time in younger athletes is often up to 10 days longer than adults with similar head injuries - so parents and athletes must remain patient. parents need to remain educated and proactive so they ensure their children receive proper diagnosis and treatment after all head and neck injuries.

The focus of management of a young athlete with a concussion is to educate the patient and their family regarding activities to avoid, and to allow the brain to recover. There are no medications that have been shown to shorten the course of symptoms, although ibuprofen is often recommended by physicians to alleviate headache. recent studies have demonstrated that “Cognitive rest” can hasten recovery.

Children and adolescents with concussions often find that attending school, taking tests, doing homework, and even leisurely reading will worsen their symptoms. These activities should be carefully monitored and limited as much as possible to allow the brain to recover. Computers, video games, and watching TV also require focus and attention and should therefore be strongly discouraged as they may exacerbate the post concussion symptoms and prolong recovery time. after someone injures an ankle, they instinctively know to stay off of it for some time to let it heal. The brain also needs rest for the concussion to heal.

The importance of this “Cognitive rest” is often overlooked, but it is a critical component of recovery. physical rest is also extremely important.

The signs and symptoms of concussion are variable. some are obvious such as loss of consciousness, and some are less specific complaints such as feeling a bit “foggy.” Common physical changes include headache, nausea and vomiting, feeling dazed or stunned, visual changes, dizziness or balance disturbance, and sensitivities to light or sound.

These are often accompanied by a host of cognitive and emotional symptoms, difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness and having trouble remembering recent events, feeling confused or answering questions slowly. In the days and weeks after the initial injury many patients also experience irritability, anxiety, or feelings of sadness. sleep patterns can also be affected. some individuals feel drowsy and sleep more than usual, while others have difficulty falling asleep. any child or adolescent who suffers a head or neck injury should be carefully assessed for any signs of concussion. If there are any concerning symptoms, no matter how mild, the athlete should be removed from the practice or game and evaluated by a physician. This evaluation can usually be done 1-2 days later by the child’s primary care pediatrician but referral to a local emergency department is indicated if the athlete experiences more severe symptoms.

While in the emergency department the injured athlete will be assessed to determine if neuroimaging is appropriate. The test of choice is usually computed tomography, otherwise known as a CT scan.
