Teen arrested for Bolingbrook armed robbery

Downers Grove

May be connected to Woodridge robberies By Jonathan Samples staff reporter

jsamples@buglenewspapers.com @strikechords

By jonathan samples| staff reporter Downers Grove commissioners were able to breathe a sigh of relief Tuesday after voting 4-2 to amend the village’s municipal ordinance to make hen ownership more permissive. The vote came during the May 6 village council meeting and brought an end to nearly a year-and-a-half of public meetings and hearings on the issue. “What we’ve been debating all

these many months is making it more permissible for people to raise chickens in Downers Grove,” Mayor Martin Tully said at the meeting. “This is a part of the trend towards more urban farming, sustainable food sources and it’s something that’s happening everywhere. I, more than anything, want to bring this issue to a close.”

Residents to save through electric aggregation

Commonwealth Edison has filed its 2014 Summer Electricity Supply Rate with the Illinois Commerce Commission. Beginning June 1, the new Commonwealth Edison rate for the supply of electricity will be 7.596 cents/kWh.

Mustangs make history by qualifying for state By mike sandrolini For the bugle

mike@buglenewspapers.com @voyagersport

The 2014 Downers Grove South boys gymnastics team put itself into the school record books this past Saturday night by becoming the first to qualify as a team for the state meet, which starts with the team competition this Friday at Hinsdale Central and concludes with the individual championships Saturday. And this history-making season notwithstanding, one can only begin to imagine the bright future that lies ahead for the Mustangs, who secured an at-large berth at the Glenbard West Sectional by finishing second with 143.2 points. The core of DGS’ team consists of two freshmen and a sophomore. One of those freshmen whose performance the past two weeks has been nothing short of spectacular is allarounder Dominic Tommasone, who compiled 51.9 points at sectionals—good for second place. The week before, Tommasone locked up the all-around title at the West Suburban Silver meet, taking first place in every event but the floor exercise (in which he placed second). Along with helping the Mustangs in Friday’s team finals, Tommasone will be participating in the all-around competition Saturday evening. “I’ve been feeling pretty good,” said Tommasone, who captured first on the high bar with a score of 9.15, and was second in both the floor exercise (9.35) and parallel bars (8.70). “Today it definitely wasn’t one of my best meets, but I look forward to state for

getting new skills and what helps my routines.” Tommasone also notched fifth on the pommel horse (8.05) and tied for fifth on vault (9.05). “Personally, I could have done a lot better,” Tommasone said. “I had some screw-ups on some of my events, but I’ll clean that up and everything will be good for state.”

It’s been a whirlwind season in a good way for first-year coach Bill Norris, who didn’t know he was going to be head coach until the start of the season. “I found out about two weeks into the season,” Norris said. “It’s terrific, and it’s really the kids that did it. All I did was give them the opportunities to compete.They all work hard and

they’re very gifted athletes.” Sophomore Evan Baird will join Tommasone at Saturday’s individual meet after qualifying on vault with a score of 9.15. “I didn’t know what to expect (going into) this year,” Baird said, “but I’m really impressed with how we got through the season.” Freshman Brock Herion described the Mustangs

qualifying for state as “a huge honor.” “I do club gymnastics,” he said, “but it’s nothing like going to state as an entire team and flying your school colors there. It’s just unbelievable.” Norris agrees. “It’s exciting, and I’m just happy the kids are going to >> see STATE | page 15

seed in the sectional and opens with No. 8 Fenwick at 6:30 p.m. May 20 at the Lyons Regional. The winner of that game will likely face the hosts and the sectional’s top seed, Lyons, at 11 a.m. May 24. “We hope to win our first regional game and give LT a competitive challenge to hopefully play in the sectionals,” Downers South coach Abigail Anderson said. “We need to play our game of possession and focus on finishing opportunities. We are fit, fast and strong. We need to use these strengths to continue to play good soccer and hope our hard work has

paid off.” •Benet beat Bishop McNamara 8-0. Liz Miller tallied three goals, while Michelle Morefield, Kate Hennessy,Sophia Elbchiri,Hannah Pfeiffer and Cara Sortino had the other goals.

Pitching, defense key to Mustangs’ streak By mike sandrolini For the bugle

mike@buglenewspapers.com @voyagersport

Downers South right-hander Peter Hamot has been the recipient of some tough luck in recent weeks. He lost a 3-2 game to Naperville North on April 11, got a no decision in a 5-4 extra inning defeat to York on April 17, and came out of the game after five innings when the Mustangs were trailing Lyons Township 4-2 on April 24. But the Mustangs gave Hamot plenty of support both offensively and defensively against crosstown rival Downers North in the two teams’ annual meeting last week. DGS led 3-1 after five innings, and then broke the game open with three in the sixth and two in the seventh, winning its seventh consecutive game, 8-1. The Mustangs upped their win streak to 10 games after holding off Glenbard West on May 8, 108, and sweeping a doubleheader Saturday from Morton, 15-6 and

6-2. DGS’ pitching vs. Glenbard West was not indicative of the efforts it has been receiving on the mound during the streak. “Our pitching has been very, very good,’ said Mustangs coach Darren Orel. “We got great pitching against them (a victory over Leyden when streak started April 26) and then it carried into the Hinsdale (South) series and today with Peter. “He’s had kind of a tough draw. He’s pitched against some really tough opponents and really pitched well. This is a nice little feather in his cap; he’s getting rewarded for doing kind of what he’s been doing all year.” The junior said he just goes about his business and doesn’t get down on himself in regard to what does, or doesn’t, go his way on the field. “I just try to forget about it because I just focus on the positive things I did in the game,” he said.“They were tough games. >> see KEY | page 15

Interestingly, he only picked up one strikeout, but he didn’t need to blow the ball past DGN batters because Mustang infielders and outfielders had his back the entire contest. One example of the Mustangs’ defensive prowess occurred in the third inning when second baseman Joey Engel snagged a hard-hit liner by DGN leadoff hitter Emil Baftirowski and then doubled up a runner at first. “We’ve averaged maybe 4-5

strikeouts a game per year, so we’re not a big strikeout team which is something that we have been in the past,” Orel said. “Our pitchers are good and solid, but they’re not that kind of staff. “Today, I thought we played one of our better defensive games, especially in the infield. We made some really, really nice plays in the infield today, so that always helps, too.” Hitting-wise, the Mustangs weren’t too shabby, either. Shortstop Joe Becht collected three doubles and also had an RBI. One of his doubles led to the Mustangs’ three-run fifth, during which Chris Pedrak (three singles) and Ryan Taylor (two singles) had

run-scoring hits. Joey Engel also drove in a run that inning. “Today was just a good day at the plate,” Becht said. “Just felt good, the ball was dropping in the right spot.We have great team chemistry. Everyone’s doing their job; everyone’s in the game every pitch, every inning.” Zac Taylor contributed two hits, including a bunt single to lead off the game. He later came around to score the game’s first run. That’s kind of been our game,” Orel said. “We do have some speed and some athletes, and we’ve shown that style of play pretty much all year so that was not a huge surprise.” Danny Oriente and Matt

Zinnecker each had RBIs, as well, for the Mustangs. The Trojans, meanwhile, are trying to stop the bleeding. DGN’s loss to the Mustangs was its fourth straight, and the Trojans have dropped six of their last seven. Prior to bowing to DGS, the Trojans lost three in a row to LT; two of those defeats were by one run. “We came off a three-game set and we don’t want this to kind of spiral on us,” said DGN coach Chad Isaacson. “We played three really tight ballgames and we unfortunately didn’t come out on top. It’s about understanding that there is a process to this, but they have to continue to work. They

have to understand that.” Brendan Shanahan opened the fifth with a single and scored on Brett Pyburn’s groundout to account for the Trojans’ lone run. Joe Provenzano’s double was DGN’s only extra-base hit. “There has to be a level of urgency with the guys also,” Isaacson said. “We have time, but there’s not a ton of time right now. We went through a little of this towards the end of last season right before the tournament started. We have an opportunity to still get this pointed in the right direction, but we have to continue to put our right foot forward and continue to move on.”

scoring 142.45 points at the Stevenson sectional. “We worked on vault all week, and our vault was much better than it had ever been, so I was very pleased with that,” said coach Tony Ciezaldo, who, like Norris, is in his first season. “On floor, some of the guys improved. It was just a routine here, a routine there across the board in almost every event that hurt us. “We just missed it.” The Trojans, however, will be represented at the individual

championships by seniors Strah Sopcic and Thomas Brethauer. Sopcic took fourth in allaround with a total score of 48.75 points, while Brethauer compiled a 9.3 score on rings for third place. Sopcic tallied scores of 8.4 on parallel bars (fourth place) and 8.45 on rings (fifth). He also scored an 8.25 on pommel horse, which got him fourth place. “It would have been awesome if we could have went this time (as a team),” Sopcic said. “It just

didn’t happen that way, but I’m proud of my guys. They gave it their all and that’s all you can ask for.” Sopcic is a state meet veteran, but he says battling nervousness hasn’t been an issue for him over the past three years. “I think my freshman year I got nervous, but after that I think sometimes my problem was not getting nervous enough,” he said. “Sometimes I come out too calm. I did a little better this year, getting more adrenaline into my stuff.”

Ciezaldo commended Brethauer for how far he’s progressed since his freshman year. “(When) Tom came in as a freshman, he was a weak kid; he couldn’t hold himself up on the (still) rings,” Ciezaldo said.“Now he’s in the hunt to be in the finals at state. I see him being in the finals, which is outstanding for a kid that came out with no experience as a high school kid and busted his butt every single year and got better and better and better.”

News >> hen house, from page 1 The new ordinance eliminates the previous setback requirement, which said chicken coups had to be at least 50 feet from any property line. Under the amended ordinance, the owner of any single-family, detached residence can keep up to four hens in their backyard after receiving a permit from the village. Before residents are able to purchase the $84 permit, they must receive written consent from every adjacent property owner. However, properties that can meet the 50-foot setback requirement do not have to obtain their neighbors’ consent. Tully supported loosening restrictions on keeping hens, but felt the neighbor consent provision set a “dangerous precedent” on limiting the rights of property owners. Several commissioners shared Tully’s concern, including David Olsen who voted against amending the ordinance. “I hope we will not expand this concept of consent to other aspects of the village,” Olsen said. “I have more and more concerns about allowing chickens or anybody using their property as they see fit, only if they get their neighbors’ consent. That is just not a way we should do business.” Despite supporting a majority of the ordinance, Commissioner Greg Hosé also voted against it because he objected to the five-year length of the permit. During Tuesday’s meeting, Hosé proposed an amendment to the ordinance that would have lowered the permit length to two years. “You do have increased health risks to children to elderly folks to folks with autoimmune issues, and five years is an awful long time if something pops up in your health,” he said.“Because I think five years is too long, [and] there’s no opportunity for a neighbor to address that change in circumstances, I’ll be

“I have more and more concerns about allowing chickens or anybody using their property as they see fit, only if they get their neighbors’ consent. That is just not a way we should do business,” said David Olsen. voting against the ordinance.” Commissioners Bob Barnett and Olsen supported Hosé’s motion, but it ultimately failed because it was not backed by a majority of the council. Commissioner Becky Rheintgen and Mayor Tully each felt the significant financial investment required to start and maintain a chicken coup was too high for a two-year permit. Tully went one step further, saying five years isn’t long enough and the neighbor consent requirement should be done away with completely. “My concern is that once someone has satisfied all the requirements and made the substantial investment that is required to have a coup, then to have to five years later keep applying and paying the fee and making their case all over again is a bit much,” said Tully, who proposed using the nuisance ordinance to deal with issues related to hens and backyard chicken coups. Under the neighbor consent model, all adjacent properties in direct contact with the applicant’s property must be notified and sign a consent form. The setback requirement was reduced from 50 feet to 7 feet and all coups must be in a property owner’s rear yard. Only hens are permitted under the new ordinance, and all other fowl such as roosters are prohibited. The village will begin issuing permits May 19 and the required consent forms and permit applications can be found on the village website, www.downers.us.

relieF Goal of pain rehab program is to help patients live life in spite of chronic Tribune Content Agency

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: Since a car accident three years ago, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had chronic back pain. Medication is no longer working. The pain makes it hard for me to get out of the house. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do the activities and hobbies I used to because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m too uncomfortable. Would a pain rehabilitation program be a good next step? If so, what can I expect? ANSWER: From your description,it sounds like you may benefit from a pain rehabilitation program. Because chronic pain cannot be eliminated, the goal of these programs is not to get rid of pain. Instead, they can help you take control of your life in spite of the pain. Pain rehabilitation programs usually involve experts from many medical backgrounds. They bring together physicians, psychologists, nurses, physical and occupational therapists and pharmacists to help participants improve their quality of life. Many of these programs are intensive and include fullday schedules that last several weeks. This may seem like a big commitment. But participating in this kind of comprehensive program can give you the tools and confidence you need to start enjoying life again. Pain rehabilitation programs involve a variety of activities. Most have daily physical and occupational therapy sessions. Planning also plays a key role. For example, at Mayo Clinic, we ask participants to set a structure for their days that they can follow even if they have pain. This technique allows people to get past the tendency of waiting

most people who enter pain rehabilitation programs take pain medication. With longterm use, these drugs may eventually fail to lessen pain and can actually make pain worse.

to make plans until they see how much pain they have on a certain day. Instead, the mindset is one that sets a plan in motion, knowing there may be some pain. We also ask them to develop a plan for difficult days. Then on days when pain is more troublesome, they have in mind activities or support that they know will help. That may be taking a walk, going to see a friend or taking a drive. It involves making a conscious effort to engage in activities that help and avoid behaviors that can make pain worse, like staying in bed, doing too much or avoiding other people. Spending time with others who are dealing with pain issues also can be a benefit of a pain rehabilitation program. Even people who have supportive family members may feel isolated when they have long-term pain. Others in similar situations can offer ideas that may help manage pain, increase confidence and provide encouragement. With the support of peers, as well as the medical team, many participants feel better equipped to make changes that are hard to do alone. Most people who enter pain rehabilitation programs take pain medication. With longterm use, these drugs may eventually fail to lessen pain and can actually make pain worse. In many programs, participants are slowly tapered off pain medications. Plenty of support is provided to help people through the process. At the same time, participants gain skills that allow them to manage pain and get back into daily activities.
