Local man kills daughter, commits suicide Girl transported to Edward Hospital, died in surgery By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter
By JonatHan samPLes | STAFF REPORTER The enrollment deadline to purchase health insurance through the Affordable Care Act has come and gone, but inmates in the DuPage County Jail are still signing up. With the help of eligibility specialists from Aunt Martha’s Youth Service Center and Health Center, the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office started a new program this year that helps inmates sign up for health insurance. “It’s been a great partnership,” said Lisa Zegar, healthcare administrator for the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office. “We’ve got now, probably, well over 300 hundred people enrolled in the program since January.” And, Zegar said specialists from Aunt Martha’s will continue to enroll inmates despite the March 31 deadline. That’s because incarceration is considered one of several “qualifying life events” that extends an individual’s enrollment period, meaning those inmates are still eligible for coverage in 2014.

“the rule is that if someone is incarcerated they have so much time after they get released to enroll,” said Lisa Zegar, healthcare administrator for the DuPage county sheriff’s office. “they really don’t fall under the deadline.”
A Woodridge man fatally stabbed his 3-yearold daughter before committing suicide Friday afternoon in their suburban home. Robert Bzdek, 34, stabbed his daughter, Zuzanna Bzdek, Friday afternoon and then took his own life, Woodridge police said Saturday.

DuPage residents encouraged Police warn residents of to re-visit emergency plans IRS phone scam
Nearly one year after severe flooding impacted numerous communities in, DuPage County residents are being reminded of the importance of emergency preparedness. One of the best ways to prepare for emergencies is to put together a disaster plan and to assemble a kit that contains three days’ worth of supplies that can be used in the case of prolonged power outages and other complications caused by disasters, DuPage County, chairman Dan Cronin said in a press release.
“While it is good to have a basic emergency plan, it is even better to have a specific plan that is tailored for the individual needs of your family,” Cronin said. “A ‘one-size-fits-all’ plan simply does not work as well because each of our families is different – we all have different needs during disasters.” Residents are encouraged to consider specific needs that their family members may have when a disaster strikes. For example, individuals who have access and functional needs, such as limited mobility and medical conditions,
may require specific medications or supplies. During the April 2013 flood, numerous residents were displaced from their homes. Many residents sought refuge in one of the emergency shelters opened by the DuPage County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, in conjunction with the American Red Cross.The shelters remained open for approximately three weeks. For more information,including emergency preparedness tips, visit www.ProtectDuPage.org.
The Downers Grove Police Department is continuing to make residents aware of a telephone scam being used by criminals in the area. Police say residents have receives telephone calls that appear to be from the IRS. The caller tells the resident that they owe taxes that must be paid immediately. The resident may also receive official looking emails associated with the scam. The solicitors are armed with enough information and
technological knowledge to convince unsuspecting victims that they owe money, police say. The solicitor can recite the last four digits of their Social Security number. Payments have been made with prepaid debit cards or through a wire transfer – payment methods that the IRS does not use. If someone calls claiming to be from the IRS and uses threatening language if you don’t pay immediately, it’s probably not the IRS.

Horoscopes Familiarity breeds contempt. This week, familiarity may breed a need to defend your position or start a squabble in order to get attention. You can easily mistake other people’s intentions, so seek clarity.
Remove bitter roots before they grow to bear sour fruit. The week ahead might be challenging if a loved one or partner gives your ideas the cold shoulder. Avoid feelings of resentment; don’t let sour grapes grow wild.
The most important person in the world might be in your own backyard. Don’t get carried away by romantic fantasies in the week ahead. Best friends might need your steady hand and sensible head to guide them.
There’s no wrong time to do the right thing. In an effort to set things right, however, you could create disruptions. You may be elected to clean up the mess when the applecart is upset in the week ahead.
A bed of roses might look inviting in the week to come, but roses have thorns, so it might not be what you expect. Loved ones could disturb the peace and quiet, or provoke you with surprising actions and ideas.
Money is meant to be spent, but not too quickly or without forethought. During the week ahead, an emphasis may be placed on finances and possessions that redefine your sense of what constitutes lasting values.
The fog comes in on little cat feet. Convoluted schemes might backfire so don’t let your imagination run away with you. Avoid signing agreements this week, or at least remember to read the fine print.
The quickest path between two points is a straight line. In the week to come, people may seem to mask their true intentions by sidestepping crucial issues. Iron out differences as quickly as possible.
Stand on your own two feet. Your ability to act without supervision is your most valuable asset. This isn’t a good week to turn a hobby into an incomeproducing venture or to draw friends in on a business deal.
Don’t jump out of the frying pan right into the fire. Don’t act on impulse and whim during the coming week. A special someone expects you to fulfill your duties and may not be willing to follow your pipe dreams.
If someone judges you, they don’t define you; they define themselves. In the week ahead, you may need to walk the line between giving people the benefit of the doubt and maintaining healthy skepticism.
An aura of romantic bliss may develop this week, so being all alone simply won’t do. Guard against becoming involved in new entanglements or romantic ventures, but spend time with trusted companions.

Lisle’s Kaminsky leads Wisconsin to Final Four Benet graduate and Lisle resident Frank Kaminsky made a name for himself early this basketball season with the University of Wisconsin when he poured in 43 points in a 10385 win over North Dakota back in Novemeber. Little did everyone know that he would be one of the top players in the NCAA Tournament this year come March. But Kaminsky, who averaged 4.2 points per game as a sophomore and 1.8 points as a freshman, has been dominant during the Badgers’ run to the final four. After a 75-35 win to open the NCAA Tournament, Kaminsky paced the Badgers in scoring in each of the next three games. He tallied 19 points in wins over Oregon (85-77) and Baylor (69-52) to help set up a showdown with top seed Arizona in the West Regional in Anaheim, a decisive home advantage for the Wildcats. Kaminsky went up against prized freshman Aaron Gordon of Arizona, who many thought would assume control of the game. However, it was Kaminsky who stole the show with one of the greatest performances in program history. He finished the game with 28 points and 11 rebounds as Wisconsin won, 64-63 in overtime, sending coach Bo Ryan to his first Final Four and the first for Wisconsin since 2000. “I can’t explain it, actually,” Kaminsky said of making the Final Four in the postgame press conference following the Arizona game. “This is like nothing else I’ve ever felt before. We’ve all played basketball our whole lives and we’ve all dreamed of going to the Final Four. To actually accomplish that is something I
can’t put into words.” For the season Kaminsky averaged 14.1 points and 6.4 rebounds. He shot .765 from the free throw line and .527 from the floor, also making 37 threepointers, despite being 7-feet tall. Defensively he had 64 blocks and 26 steals. “Just working hard,” Kaminsky said of the reason for improvements. “It’s something I’ve always done. I knew that this year there would be an opportunity for me to go out there and play a lot of minutes, and I just wanted to do, like I said, anything I could to be a big factor on this team. My teammates did a great job of always involving me in things and wanting the best for me. We all want the best for each other. I really can’t explain it. It’s just something more of an opportunity this year than in the past. But I can’t thank my teammates enough for helping me get through this.” “Well, he’s continued to work hard in the weight room,” Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said of Kaminsky. “He’s continued to work on his conditioning and his diet. You know, our guys are really into following the nutritional guides that have been given to him. So his stamina has increased and he’s growing into his body, mentally, physically, socially. They tell me he’s funnier that he used to be, and his eyes are more wide open now. Last year I thought at times his eyes were closed, then I realized that’s just his eyes. If you see him sitting sometimes you think, oh, look, Frank’s asleep. He’s not asleep. But he’s got that sleepy look. But he’s matured in every aspect because he’s worked hard.” Kaminsky and the Badgers >> see FOUR | page 15

Miyax Leon and Downers South defeated JCA 8-0.
Mustangs top JCA By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter
Downers South’s offense, believed to be one of its strong suits going into the season, found the back of the next regularly in its 2014 opener, a 4-1 victory over Oswego East. But the Mustangs hit a wall during a three-game skid that followed, scoring just three goals over that span and getting shut out twice. DGS entered its opening game of last week’s Downers South Quad—a three-day round-
robin tourney that started April 2—facing Joliet Catholic Academy, which had won its first two games of the year, starts eight freshmen and has a goalkeeper who started for them last season. The Angels, however, proved to be no match for the Mustangs, who got their offense back on track in convincing fashion. DGS led 2-0 at intermission and poured it on at the start of the second half, scoring three goals in the first six minutes en >> see TOP | page 14

in her second season. “So when we’re able to connect passes and play a little bit quicker soccer, good things will come for us and that’s what you kind of saw in the second half.” Sophomore forward Autumn Rasmussen reached double-
Sports digit totals in goals during her inaugural varsity season, and she put her scoring prowess on display with a hat trick. Rasmussen put the Mustangs up 1-0 at 33:34 in the first half on an assist from senior Kelly McCarthy. Her second goal of
the half, on a cross from senior mid Jenny Adams, came with 4:26 to go. “I thought everyone was moving well and a lot of people were making (good) runs,” Rasmussen said.“They might not have necessarily gotten the ball, but just opening up space for everyone really helped out.” Her third goal came just two minutes into the second half as she turned around from around 25 yards out and fired it in. Natalia Pinto picked up the assist. The Mustangs blitzed JCA for two more goals in less than a minute. Miyax Leon took a cross from Tess Grannan in front of the net and banged it in at 35:13. Then, Adams netted an unassisted goal at 34:47 for a 5-0 lead. “We’ve got a lot of players that can come in and put in some good minutes,” said Anderson, whose team won the West Suburban Conference Gold Division in her first year. “We don’t really see a drop-off from our bench; we have players that are coming in and impacting right away. We hope to continue to see that throughout the season.” McCarthy, with Rasmussen assisting, upped the score to 6-0 with 27:27 to play. Sophomore mid Meghan Riordan added two goals later in the contest. “I thought we worked hard,” Rasmussen said. “We were hungry for the win and I think everyone’s individual efforts combined helped us come out with those goals and everyone was working hard.” DGS peppered the JCA goalkeeper with 15 shots on goal during the first half. “There’s always room for improvement, but I’m pretty content after tonight’s finish,” Anderson said. “We need to still play quicker, we need to play more physical and we need to play a little bit more organized. Hopefully that will come in the next couple of weeks.” The Mustangs traveled to Missouri during the last week of March and battled O’Fallon High School and St. Joseph Academy, dropping both games by respective scores of 4-3 and 4-0. “They’re good, competitive games,” Anderson said. “We just couldn’t get on the winning end of them. But that’s all right; it’s good experience for our girls.” “It was really fun just to bond as a team,” Rasmussen added. “I think obviously we were disappointed in our losses, but that helped fire us up to perform
tonight.” Downers South fell to O’Fallon 4-3. Tess Grannan and Jenny Adams scored early goals to give the Mustangs a 2-0 advantage. After three Panther goals, Ava Porlier struck following off a free kick to tie the score up at three before a late Panther goal. The Mustangs fell to St.Josephs, MO, the following day 4-0. •Benet beat Oak Park-River Forest 2-0 on goals by Loretta Elder and Claire Elenteny. Elena McCarthy and Katie Gesior picked up assists, while Christina Stopka had the shutout in goal.
BASEBALL Downers North topped Plainfield East 8-7 behind three RBI by Paul Cappetta and a pair of hits from Patrick Geraghty and Brendan Shanahan. Shanahan had a pair of hits and Myles Farley had two RBI in the Trojans’ 15-7 loss to Benet. The Trojans responded with a 5-2 win over Glenbard East as Ray Greco and Joe Provenzano had three hits each, while Farley had a pair of RBI. Brett Pyburn went six innings on the mound, striking out eight. •Downers South fell 6-5 to Scott Co. KY. and beat Bryan Station 12-1.

Final Four Flashback: Kenny Battle By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter
As the NCAA tournament comes and goes year after year, the teams are filled more and more with one-and-done freshmen who are in college simply because the NBA rules say they can’t turn pro until a year out of high school. That was not always the case. In the past, players stayed in college for a few years and the goals were more about winning than cashing in for a big contract. This season is the 25th anniversary of the 1989 University of Illinois Fighting Illini basketball team which advanced to the Final Four, one of those teams that played for the team pride and a passion to win. The Flyin’ Illini, as the team was dubbed by broadcaster Dick Vitale, was a team made up of almost all in-state products that reached the Final Four and were one basket away from playing for the National Championship. A captain on that team was Kenny Battle, a West Aurora product who transferred to Illinois after spending two seasons at Northern Illinois University.Now he is an assistant coach with the Joliet Catholic Academy girls basketball team, where his daughter was a starting freshman for the Class 3A state runners up. Battle took a look back at 25 years after advancing to the Final Four. “We had an opportunity to win the national championship and to know that you were one of four teams that were still playing that late in the season

showed that the hard work and dedication that you put forth paid off,” Battle said. “That is an experience that not a lot of guys or a lot of teams get the opportunity to experience.” Illinois faced Big Ten opponent Michigan in Seattle in the semifinal and the Wolverines upset the Illini 83-81 on a lastsecond shot by Sean Higgins. “We didn’t care that we were playing a conference opponent,” Battle said.“We had an opponent and we were prepared to play whoever it was and we had a great setting in Seattle and we had an opportunity to win a national championship. It didn’t happen for us, but we had every opportunity.” Michigan won the title that year, defeating Seaton Hall 8079 in overtime. “It made it better (that the Illini lost to the eventual champion), but it till didn’t make us feel any better,” Battle said.“We wanted to be the ones hoisting that trophy at the end of the year.” That year’s Final Four is often considered one of the most entertaining of all time. “Everywhere we go, people always remember that game and talk about that game,” Battle said. “It was really great to be part of that special team from the University of Illinois. We will always be part of the Flyin’ Illini.” Battle said although all the former players are busy, they try to reminisce as much as possible. “Everybody has a lot going on, but any time we get together, we make the best of it,” Battle said. “I stay in touch with all of them. It was a special team. Larry
Smith and I were in St. Louis together at an AAU tournament for my seventh grader and we were able to reminisce and talk about the future of Illinois basketball.” Other than advancing to the Final Four, the Flyin’ Illini team had another rarity trait that may never be duplicated in major conference basketball. Four of the five starters and the first man off the bench were all Chicagoland products who all played in at least one IHSA state tournament. The fifth starter, Steven Bardo, was from downstate Alton and all but one of the 15-man roster played high school basketball in the state of Illinois. Battle led Aurora West High School to third place in 1984, Kendall Gill paced Rich Central to a second-place finish in 1986, Lowell Hamilton led Providence-St. Mel to a thirdplace finish in 1984 and a Class A title in 1985, while Marcus Liberty led King to a title in 1986 and a second-place finish in 1987. Both Battle and Liberty were named as one of the 100 Legends of the IHSA Boys Basketball Tournament announced in 2007. “You had guys all from the state of Illinois, all were either Mr. Basketball or were in contention for Mr. Basketball, all were the best player on their high school team, all had high accolades all had an opportunity to compete in the state tournament,” Battle said. “We all had the opportunity to come together and make it to the Final Four.”

Great gifts for gardening enthusiasts No garden is complete without visits from local wildlife, such as songbirds StatePoint
Birthday shopping for a gardener? You can make his or her wishes come true by shopping with his or her favorite hobby in mind. Here are a few ideas that will put a smile on the face of those green-thumbed family members and friends:
make a statement Upgrade a hobby wardrobe with gear that’s not only stylish, but functional too. If your gardener is still watering, hedging, weeding and working in the yard in an old pair of beat-up sneakers, consider a pair of garden clogs designed for the specific chores associated with working in the yard or garden. Easy-to-clean and waterproof, they make a great
present. Or consider a utility apron in your gift recipient’s favorite colors or pattern.
Go Bird-Friendly No garden is complete without visits from local wildlife, such as songbirds. Help your gardener transform his or her garden into a wildlife refuge.A birdbath and bird feeder will help attract birds and encourage them to linger in the garden longer. Unfortunately billions of songbirds are killed worldwide each year due to accidental collisions with window glass, according to the Wilson Ornithological Society. Consider a unique gift that makes the area safer for flying friends. A new high-tech liquid
called WindowAlert UV Liquid can be applied to windows, containing a component that brilliantly reflects ultraviolet sunlight. This ultraviolet light, that’s invisible to humans, takes advantage of the keen eyesight of birds, creating a visual barrier on windows to help prevent fatal collisions. “Wildlife can beautify a garden. But birds and other wildlife don’t appear by chance. They seek habitats that provide them with food, shelter, and safety,” says Spencer Schock, founder of WindowAlert.“ For bird-friendly gift ideas, visit www. WindowAlert.com.
Personalize Make watering the plants a pleasure with a vintage watering can. You can add a personal touch by painting the side of the can with a unique
design or your gift recipient’s name. Or buy a set of planters and give them the same painting treatment. Don’t ignore your gift recipient’s hobbies and passions. There are plenty of gifts that complement the gardening lifestyle.
