WEST NILE Continued from page 1 and/or human case. A total of 34 Illinois residents contracted West Nile virus disease, and three died. No human cases of West Nile virus have been reported so far this year.

Surveillance for West Nile virus in Illinois includes laboratory tests on mosquito batches, dead crows, blue jays, robins and other perching birds, as well as testing sick horses and humans with West Nile-like disease symptoms. People who observe a sick or dying crow, blue jay, robin or other perching bird should contact their local health department, which will determine if the bird will be picked up for testing.

West Nile virus is transmitted through the bite of a mosquito that has picked up the virus by feeding on an infected bird. Common West Nile virus symptoms include fever, nausea, headache and muscle aches.

Symptoms may last from a few days to a few weeks. However, four out of five people infected

with West Nile virus will not show any symptoms. In rare cases, severe illness including meningitis or encephalitis, or even death, can occur. People older than 50 are at higher risk for severe illness from West Nile Virus.

The best way to prevent West Nile disease or any other mosquito-borne illness is to reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home and to take personal precautions to avoid mosquito bites.

Precautions include practicing the three “R’s” – reduce, repel and report.

REDUCE Reduce exposure - avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are most active, especially between dusk and dawn.

Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears or other openings. Try to keep doors and windows shut, especially at night.

Eliminate all sources of standing water where mosquitoes can breed, including water in bird baths, ponds,

flowerpots, wading pools, old tires and any other receptacles.

REPEL When outdoors, wear shoes and socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, and apply insect repellent that contains DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR 3535, according to label instructions.

Consult a physician before using repellents on infants.

REPORT In communities where there are organized mosquito control programs, contact your municipal government to report areas of stagnant water in roadside ditches, flooded yards and similar locations that may produce mosquitoes.

Public health officials believe that a hot summer increases mosquito activity and the risk of disease from West Nile virus.

Additional information about West Nile virus can be found on the Illinois Department of Public Health’s Web site at www.idph. state.il.us/envhealth/wnv.htm.

“Museum” visits William F. Murphy Elementary School The illustrations from the book “Where Is the Sears Tower?” were on display at William F. Murphy Elementary School last week. Art teacher Barbara Johnson seized the opportunity and held art classes in the hallway to study and discuss the paintings.

“We enjoyed discussing the various Chicago landmarks in each painting and the interesting points of view.

Students were amazed at the amount of detail and spent time exploring how the artist created the illusion of depth in the paintings. What a great experience!” recounted Johnson.

Tad and France Mitchell, authors and illustrators of the book, also presented at the school. France revealed that it was true love that made her paint for five years to make her

The book tells the story of Peter, a pigeon, who travels to Chicago to visit his grandfather.

Along the way he discovers the

Entertainment for Education brings in nearly $10,000 This year’s Entertainment for Education fundraiser for the District 58 Education Foundation, a nearly sold-out Freddy Jones Band concert at the Tivoli Theatre, raised nearly $10,000 to benefit the schools of Downers Grove Grade School District 58. In addition to several hours of music, the evening featured a split-the-pot raffle, as well as a raffle for an electric guitar autographed by the band, which was won by Belle Aire parent Ray Roche.

“We were thrilled with the turnout and the immense amount of support shown to the Foundation and to the students of District 58,” said

Foundation President Jay Stocki.

Entertainment for Education is one of the two major annual fundraisers for the District 58 Education Foundation, an independent non-profit corporation established in 2002 to obtain and distribute financial and other resources for the enhancement of education programs at the 13 schools of District 58. Over the past 10 years, the Foundation has brought in more than $350,000 for District 58 schools, which it has donated back primarily in the form of classroom and building grants for technology innovation, curriculum enrichment and staff development. This year, the

Foundation gave away $40,000 in grants; projects and purchases included AnyBook Readers, iPads, and Wii karaoke to boost reading fluency. The Foundation also sponsors the Select 58 awards honoring eighth graders for service to their school and community; Distinguished Service Awards for staff; Sneak Preview for incoming seventh graders; and the annual new teacher welcome luncheon.

In addition to the spring Entertainment for Education, the Foundation raises funds through a fall circus fundraiser and donations from staff, parents, businesses and community members.

PGA Hall of Famer Indian Trail students utilize Tom Watson helps ‘IdeaPaint’ for class Benedictine raise scholarship funds Tom Watson, the revered professional golfer and sixtime PGA Tour Player of the Year, will be the featured guest at the 18th Annual President’s Invitational Golf Outing hosted

by Benedictine University on Monday, June 25 at Cantigny Golf in Wheaton.

Proceeds from the event help provide scholarships for Benedictine students, who now are depending on financial assistance more than ever. While Benedictine has supportive donors and alumni who contribute to scholarships throughout the year, the need for assistance continues to outweigh available resources.

Registration and the putting contest begin at 10 a.m., followed by lunch at 11 a.m.

Golf begins at 12:30 p.m. with a shotgun start. Cocktails, dinner and program begin at 5:30 p.m., where Watson will share stories of his days on the PGA tour.

Watson has won 39 times on the PGA tour with an aggressive, fast-paced style. Playing mostly on the over-50 Champions Tour now, he has won 13 more tournaments, including five senior majors.

Throughout his career,

Watson has been a respected sportsman and spokesman for the sport. He received the U.S. Golf Association’s prestigious Bob Jones award for distinguished sportsmanship in 1987 and was elected to the PGA World Golf Hall of Fame the following year.

Today, Watson is active in several charities, including a golf tournament benefiting a local hospital in his hometown of Kansas City, Mo., the Clubs for Kids program and a foundation devoted to finding a cure for ALS. William Bartlett II, Benedictine University trustee, is the honorary chair of the golf outing and Bruce Bonge, president of International Contractors Inc., is the honorary co-chair. The event is sponsored by the Benedictine University Board of Trustees.

The cost for golf and dinner is $275 per person ($1,100 per foursome). Dinner only tickets are $100 per person.

For more information or reservations, contact Debbie Smith, director of University Events, at (630) 829-6080 or dsmith@ben.edu, or visit: www. ben.edu/presidentialgolf.

Indian Trail LRC Director Taffy Sanger asked the pair of firstgraders visiting her for their weekly Creative and Critical Thinking session to compare and contrast crayons and pencils. The girls listened carefully to the instructions, then grabbed markers and began brainstorming their ideas on the desk--which was exactly what they were supposed to do. That’s because the desk is one of five at Indian Trail that have been covered with something called IdeaPaint, and the crayons and markers are specially designed to write on that material. It functions exactly like a dry-erase board, Sanger said.

She heard about IdeaPaint from District 58 Technology Director Scott Meech, and decided to have the LRC’s wheeled desks painted so the IdeaPaint could be used anywhere in the building rather than be tied to one room. The

IdeaPaint desks were unveiled to the students as part of the school’s “going green” endeavors during Earth Week, and the classes have had a ball brainstorming, illustrating concepts and solving problems. Some of the projects completed on the IdeaPaintcovered desks--which have included graphing the life cycle of a butterfly, visually depicting

the rhymed descriptions in Shel Silverstein’s“Giraffe and a Half,”and illustrating fractions--were proudly on display at the school’s open house last month. The students have even brainstormed other places and ways they’d like to see Idea Paint used in the school, and wrote down their ideas on the Idea Paint. “We just think it’s awesome,” Sanger said.

You can’t always wait for the world to catch up. You may set an inspiring pace in the week ahead. People will admire your industriousness in the workplace and your leadership abilities in group settings.

Life is a learning process. In the week ahead, you would be wise to develop strategies to avoid being overwhelmed when events unfold too quickly. The boss might be less charming and more demanding.

Power to the people plus some power to you in the week ahead, since you may have a feeling that you can do anything. Strong ambitions need a suitable outlet; don’t miss any opportunity to excel.

This week is a good time to learn what makes your mate tick. You and a significant other can discuss ambitions and financial plans. Avoid making impetuous purchases out of pure boredom.

Console yourself by focusing on moneymaking activities.

In the week ahead, you must remember that the heart is a muscle and that heartbreak gives you a chance to strengthen that muscle.

If you do what others won’t, you can accomplish what others can’t. In the week ahead, your talents shine when you become involved in action-oriented activities. Group dynamics tend to highlight your abilities.

A fixation on fixing.

The hair of the dog isn’t always the best cure, since you might end up with fleas. In the upcoming week, the more you try to fix a problem, the more likely you will create another problem.

It is better to express yourself than to repress yourself. In the week ahead, you may have more than one opportunity to turn a situation to your advantage especially if you are focused on accomplishment.

If it is important to you to succeed, you will find a way - but if it isn’t, you will find an excuse. During the upcoming week, you could be powerfully drawn to ways to manipulate money in your favor.

One of the secrets to success is an understanding of when to say yes. With powerful Pluto in your sign, ambition could be your middle name. In the week ahead, focus energies on achievement.

Focus on making progress, not perfection. You must roll up your sleeves to get jobs done, even if they aren’t done perfectly. In the upcoming week don’t leap to conclusions or take risks with your money.

Taking a leap into the dark can be dangerous. In the week to come, you may be prompted to search for the cosmic musical score that shows what your part is in the melody of life. Avoid impulsiveness.

New changes for Social Security and federal benefit recipients The U.S. Department of the Treasury is phasing out paper federal benefit checks.

Everyone who receives Social Security, Supplement Security Income (SSI) or other federal benefit payments by check is required to switch to electronic payments by March 1, 2013.

“This move will save taxpayers $1 billion over the next 10 years, while ensuring all federal benefit recipients receive their money in the safest, most reliable way possible,” says David A. Lebryk, commissioner of the Treasury Department’s Financial Management Service.

While about 90 percent of Social Security and SSI payments are being made electronically, there are still approximately 7 million checks issued to beneficiaries monthly.

Switching to electronic

payments now is one simple step you can take to free up your summer days.

No more check troubles There are lots of hassles with paper checks that can get in the way of enjoying summer.

Electronic payments eliminate monthly trips to the bank or credit union to cash or deposit checks.When your summer plans involve travel, you don’t have to worry about a check sitting unsecured in your mailbox while you’re away.

“I encourage federal benefit recipients or their caregivers to make the switch to electronic payments today,” says Lebryk.

“You’ll be ensuring funds are delivered in a safe, convenient way, while saving yourself an extra ‘to-do’this summer.”

Two electronic options The Treasury Department is recommending two electronic options that make receiving payments easier.

The Go Direct(R) campaign makes it fast, free and easy to switch to electronic payments online at www.GoDirect.org or through the U.S. Treasury Electronic Payment Solution Center toll-free at 1-800-3331795.You can choose either: • Direct deposit to a checking or savings account. Your federal benefit payment will go straight into your account on payment day each month.

• Direct Express(R) Debit MasterCard(R) card. If you don’t have a bank account or prefer a prepaid debit card, switch to the Direct Express(R) card. There are no sign-up fees, overdraft fees or monthly fees. Some fees for optional services may apply.

For information on card fees and features, visit www.GoDirect. org.

Help improve dad’s health this Father’s Day Though your dad may be a superhero to you, he is not immune to common health problems that affect men. And as your father ages, his risk for certain life-threatening diseases increases.

But you can be his superhero this Father’s Day by helping him form habits that promote good health and longevity.

Here are some healthy ways to celebrate Dad this Father’s Day: • Go Fishing: Stress is harmful to both mental and physical health, so get some fresh air and a sense of relaxation with a day on the water. Evidence from several studies suggests that incorporating fish into one’s diet can help protect against prostate cancer because they contain “good fat,” particularly omega-3 fatty acids.

• Barbecue: If a barbecue is your annual tradition, don’t fret. That fish you catch will go perfectly on the grill with a side of vegetables. Tomatoes

and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli are a great choice. And if you can’t forgo the beef, don’t char. Charred meats can contain cancer-causing carcinogens that lodge in the prostate.

Also skip the trans fatty acids found in margarine and give your meal a flavor boost with olive oil instead.

• Move: Play golf, play tennis, or simply walk off your meal together. Obesity increases a man’s risk of heart disease, aggressive forms of prostate cancer, diabetes, stroke and hypertension, amongst other dangerous health problems, so make maintaining a healthy weight a priority for both you and Dad. • Checkup: Prostate cancer affects one in six men, with more than 16 million men affected by the disease globally, and two million affected in the U.S. alone.

Early diagnosis can improve one’s prognosis, so encourage your father to schedule an

appointment for a screening as soon as possible. Broader awareness and understanding for this disease are crucial for saving lives.

• Get Involved: You and dad can support men’s health while enjoying baseball, by donating money to support finding better treatments for prostate cancer.

Each year, during a special “Home Run Challenge,” Major League Baseball and the Prostate Cancer Foundation encourage baseball fans to make a financial pledge for every home run hit during select games June 7-17 at www. homerunchallenge.org.

More healthy living tips, a free nutrition guide, and nutritious recipes can be found at www. pcf.org/nutrition.

If you really want to show Dad how much you care this Father’s Day, consider forgoing a gluttonous meal and spend the day promoting healthy habits instead.

Five tips for planning for retirement Whether you’re in your first job or nearing the golden years, retirement planning should be a top priority.

Taking charge of your savings, regardless of your life stage, will help ensure that you get ‘to’ and ‘through’ retirement -- while living the lifestyle you think is right for you.

“Today, one of the only vehicles most people have to save for retirement is through their employer-sponsored retirement plan,” said Chuck Cornelio, president of Retirement Plan Services at the Lincoln Financial Group.“Scheduling an annual check-in with your retirement consultant or financial adviser will help you ensure your investments are matched with your risk tolerance, and help you stay on track with your overall retirement goals.”

Consider the following five points when reviewing and taking charge of your retirement savings: • Invest your income boosts:If you receive an increase in income like a company bonus, salary increase, tax return or an expense reduction

like paying off a car or a loan, it’s a great time to put those extra dollars towards retirement savings.

• Consolidate assets: If you still have retirement funds from previous employers, roll those balances into your current company’s retirement plan.Having all your retirement assets in one place simplifies retirement investing and income planning.

• Reduce taxable income: The money you contribute to your employer-sponsored retirement plan is not included in your current taxable income.So the more you save, the lower your income taxes. Taxes aren’t due on the money saved or on any investment earnings until the money is taken out of your 401(k) plan. And the good news is that by the time you withdraw money and pay taxes, you’ll most likely be in a lower tax bracket.

• Review your investments: Ask your employer about retirement planning education, online tools,

or one-on-one support to help you make sure your investment strategy is in line with your overall retirement goals as well as your risk tolerance.

Take advantage of all the resources available to you.

• Maximize match benefits: Make sure you’re contributing enough to take full advantage of any company matching program.This is one of the most valuable benefits of saving for retirement through your employer. If you’re not doing this, you’re simply leaving money on the table.

Ifyou’reenrolledinyourcompany’s retirement plan, you’re already on the right track. Remember to stay on track and take greater charge of your retirement plan.More information on saving for retirement can be found at www.LincolnFinancial.com.

To be better prepared for the years ahead, challenge yourself to step back and think about retirement in a new way, considering both savings and planning.

Business & Real Estate

Want to shape up workplace?

Change your approach Q. I am so tired of unappreciative bosses, difficult coworkers and demanding customers. I work hard to communicate effectively and be helpful. Can’t other people be bothered to learn to behave decently in the workplace?

A. No, as you have observed not everyone is interested in dealing well with people. Unless some alien craft hits the planet with a harmony beam, you will have to deal with people who annoy you for the rest of your career.

Many of my clients have spent years at work bemoaning the fact that other people aren’t more like them, rather than learning to deal with this reality. Venting about our feelings is an important part of change. Equally important is our ability to adapt rapidly to the reality in which we find ourselves.

Sometimes venting can become an end goal in itself rather than part of the process of change. We rant about what we don’t like about people at work, feel better, and then go back to our job with no plan to cope better with our circumstances.

Instead, imagine that your frustration is like gasoline for your car. Use the energy to brainstorm ways you can change your behavior, language and response to take better care of yourself. If you can use your anger

well, you’ll be amazed at the creativity you’ll discover to practice better self-defense.

Be willing to try anything other than what you’ve already been doing. Sometimes we resist a new approach because we suspect it might fail or we might look foolish. Keep in mind you are already constantly miserable; how much worse can it be to have one new idea not work?

Be willing as well to keep trying new strategies and technique until you find one that works. You’ll discover that desperation will definitely fuel your motivation to think innovatively.

Be careful that you don’t restrict yourself by believing that “your personality” is just stuck being nice. Interpersonal skills are just that: learned behavior. No one is born with a “personality” that has advanced people skills. People either learn these techniques or get consistently run over by people at work who behave badly.

As you try new approaches, be patient and do not become disillusioned when you find how many of your ideas don’t work.

When we attempt to change our communication styles, we often have to hit a brick wall. We will often keep trying different versions of our usual style until we get really mad. Then we have a breakthrough idea we’ve never considered.

Realize that you aren’t just changing your communication style; you are also in some profound ways changing yourself.

When we stop defending ourselves, needing to be right or requiring the approval of others, we are fundamentally shifting how we operate.

You may have days when you resent having to be the one who makes the effort to step out of the line of fire of others’ bad behavior.

You will be the one doing the hard work. You’ll also be free from the control of others for the rest of your career (and life)!

Has the debt limit passed?

Dear Dave, I bought a car a few years ago and purchased new wheels for $1,100 on credit. I haven’t paid the bill, and now collectors are trying to settle with me. I think the statute of limitations has expired.

Should I still pay the debt?

Brian Dear Brian, I always look at things like this through two or three lenses. One has to do with your credit.Another is the legal aspect, and the third is this:What’s the right thing to do?

The right thing to do is pay the debt. You took the wheels, so you need to pay for them. You could probably scratch together $1,100 and make this whole thing go away. I’m pretty sure a lot of legal and collection costs, as well as

interest, have been added over the years.

But at this point, you can probably get them to settle for the original amount owed.

Now, can they still chase you under the statute of limitations? That’s a matter of state law, and since I’m not an attorney, I’m not up to speed on every law from state to state. Besides, I don’t like the idea of using that kind of argument to get someone out of debt.

Honestly, this is the real world we’re talking about, Brian. You’re going to have to deal with this, because even if there is a statute

of limitations, most collectors will still try to chase you to the ends of the earth. And for $1,100 you can get them out of your life and erase a big black mark from your credit. It’s always better to have a transaction listed as “bad debt that has been settled” rather than simply “bad debt.”

And by the way, it’s also the right thing to do!

DGS, Ludwig head past Red Devils

By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

With coach Barry Jacobson retiring at the end of the season, the Downers Grove South players want his career to go as long as possible.

GIRLS SOCCER Thanks to a 3-2 shootout win over No. 8 seed Hinsdale Central Friday night in the Downers South Sectional final, his career would continue for at least one more game as he added another sectional title to his career achievements.

“We’re always motivated every year to go as far as we can,” Downers South senior Jessica Pikul said. “But this year with coach leaving, we are even more motivated to give it a good run.

We want to make his last year as memorable as possible.”

“I don’t think it’s so much pressure, it’s motivation,” Downers South senior Sarrah Ludwig added.

“In our four years we never even won a regional title, so a sectional title is tremendous for us. We put so much effort in it all four year and the team wanted it.

It marked the first sectional title for the No. 3 seed Mustangs since 2008 as they hope the magical run isn’t over yet.

“This is a great group of kids and (assistant) Bob (Toper) and I are just trying to enjoy it every time we are out here,” Jacobson said.“I told the kids just put it all on the line for you and us. We just want to go out fighting. It’s a really nice senior class and they worked hard.”

“We want to get him far because it’s his last season and we want to make it memorable for him,” Downers South’s Jessica Bronke said. “As seniors, we never made it this far so we just want to keep pushing.”

The past few years have been difficult for Downers South as

it has been playing in regionals against the Naperville schools, but this year they have been put with more teams from their conference and they have proven to be the best in the area.

“This year we have a lot of heart and I think that translates on the field,” Pikul said.“We’re able to put it all out there. We might not be the most skilled, but we have the most heart, I think.”

“Going East (has been the big difference),”Jacobson commented.

“When you go out west, every game is (tough).We’ll take this and we had a good opportunity.”

Ludwig scored both goals in regulation against Hinsdale Central on a pair of throw-ins from Bronke to take a 2-0 lead.

“I just knew Sarrah could do it,” Bronke said. “The whole season she has done it. When I saw it in the back of the net, I felt so happy.

It’s one of the main things we score on, so we try to get as many chances as we can.”

Bronke, Ludwig, Pikul and Flo Beshiri all scored in the shootout and goalie Cassidy Hermann made the game-clinching save.

In the semifinals the Mustangs defeated No. 2 seed York 2-1 as Ludwig scored both goals again on headers. Pikul found her on a corner kick to make it 1-0 and Bronke hit her on a throw-in with seven minutes left.

“I’ve always been a good header, but this year it just really sprung up,” Ludwig said. “I’ve gotten so much better and I love playing the ball with my head.We’re definitely a set piece team. We look to get throw-ins and corners.”

“We spend a lot of time (on set plays) and execute them well,” Jacobson said.“Sarrah is very good with the ball in the air.We’re pretty good at it.”

Early strikes key Benet sectional title

By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

On a warm afternoon, scoring early and getting subs in the game was a key to the Nazareth Sectional final matchup between No. 1 seed Benet and No. 3 Rosary.

GIRLS SOCCER Benet did just that, scoring twice in the first 10:10 of the game and cruising to a 3-0 win.

Defender Rachel Lovely scored from 25-yards out at the 35:54 mark of the first half to get the Redwings off to a quick start.

“We love to get our two backs involved in me and Rachel Pavlinec on the outside,” Lovely said. “We always go over it in practice and if we have a shot, we rip it. We don’t get marked a lot as defenders, so it is dangerous when we are up there. If you can get the first goal, it gives you the momentum and gets everyone pumped up.”

Just over five minutes later Meaghan O’Hara added a second quick goal and a 2-0 lead.

“At practice we kind of heard they packed in the box,” Benet’s Jamei Borges said. “Rachel then hit that far out shot and I think that definitely benefitted us the rest of the game.That kept them from condensing in there and thinking we could only score in the box.”

The second goal allowed Benet to be very liberal with subbing the rest of the half as nearly the entire starting lineup got rest.

Even the reserves were able to capitalize as Jessica Smetana scored with 16:29 left in the first half for a 3-0 lead.

“The depth of our team is one of our strengths,” Lovely said.

“We have the potential to run teams into the ground. Everyone is in such good shape and we have people just as good flying in from off the bench.”

“We are such a deep team, it’s not like I’m putting chumps out there,” Gros stated.“Poor Rosary, they had like two subs during the game. We had so many fresh players on the field.”

Benet (18-4-3) had some more chances to add to the score in the second half but O’Hara and Catherine Caniglia both hit the

post early in the second half.

“We should have scored on our first two shots in the second half,” Gros said. “Those were rockets.You can’t hit them any better than that. Overall we played well, we just didn’t finish in the second half, although we got a little unlucky there.”

Benet has scored 24 goals in three playoff games.

“I think a lot of it is chemistry,” Lovely stated. “We know what are strengths and weaknesses are and we all work so well

together.”

While the offense gets a lot of the publicity, the defense has not allowed a goal in the state playoffs.

“The defense has really been stepping it up,” Gros said. “We worked hard this week on defense and we are just putting teams on their heels and using our athletes up top.”

Benet had been competing in Class 3A in years past in the postseason, but were moved to 2A this year. Considering they

still play a large 3A schedule during the season, that helped heading into the playoffs.

“This wasn’t what we expected,” Borges said. “We never saw these teams before, which helped us because we weren’t undermining them. Our schedule was composed with 3A teams and we came out just as hard as we did in those games.

That definitely helped because we showed we can compete with any team in the state.”

The Redwings faced

Wheaton St. Francis Tuesday at the Benedictine University Supersectional for the right to advance to state, which begins Friday at North Central College in Naperville.

The Redwings coasted to a berth in the championship game May 22 by blanking Glenbard South, 6-0. Borges and Caniglia each scored twice for Benet.

Trojans give No. 1 WWS fits before falling

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Downers North accomplished a feat at last Friday’s Wheaton Warrenville South sectional semifinals that only one other squad can stake claim to this season: pinning the host Tigers with a loss in a game.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL The upset-minded Trojans no doubt raised eyebrows and gave the nationally ranked Tigers—No. 1 in this week’s ESPNHS Powerade Fab 50 rankings—reason for concern after surprising WWS, 25-21, in Game 1.

However, the Tigers rallied to win the second game, 25-21, after trailing DGN 17-15. They kept their spotless record (38-0) intact by polishing off the Trojans in Game 3, 25-14, to take the match and advance to the sectional final against Glenbard East, which took place Tuesday night.

In Friday’s second match, Glenbard East stormed out to a 19-5 lead over Benet during Game 1 and coasted to 25-10 win. The Rams then sent the Redwings

packing with a 25-13 triumph in Game 2.

DOWNERS NORTH The Trojans never trailed in Game 1 even though WWS tied the contest on five separate occasions (the last at 19-19).

But DGN scored four straight points—on tips by Zack Parik and Paul Novosyolov, and a kill from Tyler Saieg—to make it 23-19.

“I came in knowing that this was going to be the biggest game I’d ever played in,” Novosyolov said.

“We believed that the only way we could win was by believing in each other. We believed one point at a time so that’s how we played.”

Troy Krafthefer’s kill finished off the Tigers in Game 1.

“We played them two weeks ago and lost (25-)17 and (25-)17, but we had 10 unforced errors and that really showed that we could play with them,” said Downers North coach Mark Wasik. “You cut those unforced errors in half and now all of a sudden it’s a 20-point game.We knew our style of volleyball would be successful against these guys as long as we

took care of business on our side.

And it worked for a game-and-ahalf.”

The teams went back and forth early in Game 2 with four ties.

The Trojans led by as many as two points on six separate occasions.

Their last lead of the game (1715) came on Chris George’s tip.

From there, the Tigers scored the next four points and grabbed a 19-17 lead.

JP Tulacka’s kill enabled the Trojans to pull within a point, 19-18, but DGN wouldn’t get any closer.

Game 3 was all Wheaton South.

Ahead 8-5, the Tigers rattled off five unanswered points and led 13-5. WWS held a 10-point advantage throughout most of the remainder of the game.

Tulacka, Novosyolov and Parik are among the nine seniors that played their final game for the Trojans (30-8). Tulacka finished with 10 kills, while Novosyolov and Krafthefer had seven kills apiece. Parik accumulated 27 assists.

“It was great,”Tulacka said.“We just played our game (in Game 1) and didn’t care who was on the other side. They broke down our

serve-receive (in Game 3) and they got in our heads.That was it from there. We just got down on ourselves.”

The Trojans prevailed over a tough Waubonsie Valley club in a grueling two-game match to win the Hinsdale Central regional championship on May 23. Downers North won the first marathon first game, 28-26, and took the second game, 25-22, after coming back from a 14-9 deficit.

Tulacka hammered down eight kills for the fifth-seeded Trojans.

Novosyolov and Krafthefer each had six kills, and Parik notched 21 assists.

BENET Speaking of nationally ranked teams, the Redwings fell victim to a Rams’ squad (27th in ESPNHS Powerade Fab’s 50 rankings) that took no prisoners.

Benet led early in both games, but Glenbard East (32-6) put together streaks of seven straight points in Game 1 and nine straight in Game 2 to oust the Redwings.

Redwings coach Amy Van Eekeren couldn’t pinpoint why Benet, which had been

playing what she described as “phenomenal volleyball” until Friday night, couldn’t get things going against the Rams.

“I don’t know if it was nerves for the kids; I don’t know if it was not (being) mentally prepared, I don’t know,” she said. “But I’m proud of them. We have a team full of seniors that have wanted this for a long time and they’ve been fighting for years. I’m proud of how they’ve played all season.

This doesn’t show the success we had all season.”

Like the Trojans, the Redwings will be losing a host of seniors to graduation, including outside hitters Bobby Wehrli, Luke Ladowski, Nathan Parisi and Sawyer Yeazel, liberos Kevin Weithers and Jon Simmons, and middle blocker Matt Conroy.

Wehrli, who finished with three kills, said the Redwings (289) were well aware going into the match of the Rams’ formidable front like that includes 6-foot-5 outside hitters Joey Farrell and Tim Shenkin.

“It just seemed like everything was going wrong for us,” Wehrli See TROJANS, page 26

Ulrich places fourth; softball, baseball fall

By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

Downers Grove South senior Jeremy Ulrich entered the sectional meet with a high discus throw of 148-feet, 2-inches, nearly seven feet off the state qualifying mark.

ROUNDUP Ulrich over came the odds to qualify for state at the Lockport Sectional, placing third with a heave of 157.

Little did anyone know that would just be the beginning.

Friday at the state meet at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, he threw 158-3, good for third in the heat and enough to qualify for finals with the eighth best distance.

From there he saved his best throws of his life for his last as a high schooler, throwing 167-4 to place fourth in the state in Class 3A. “It’s awesome,” Ulrich said. “I wanted to do my best.I don’t think I did the best I could, but it’s hard to argue with fourth. Hopefully I can throw in college.”

Ulrich overcame injury early in the season, which attributed for his late surge.

“I had a strained back all season and just started throwing better,” he said.“I didn’t do as well during meets, but I did it where it counts most. I got really comfortable with my technique and stopped worrying and thinking about it.

Everything clicked at the right time.”

Downers North also had a medalist as Jordan Munar placed ninth in the 200-meter dash with a time of 22.76 seconds.

In 1A, Westmont’s Tim Doll placed second in the 400 with a time of 49.99.

SOFTBALL Downers North, the No. 3 seed in the Lake Park Sectional, was upset by 11th-seeded West Chicago 2-1 in 13 innings Saturday in the Geneva Regional final.

West Chicago scored two unearned runs in the top of the 13th and it was enough to hold off a home run by Samantha Yeager for the Trojans.

Downers North (30-7) crushed host Geneva, 9-1, in their Class 4A regional semifinal game May 22 behind the four-hit pitching of Elaine Heflin, who struck out 15.

Dale Ryndak slugged two home runs, while Maddie Wojciak doubled twice. Brit Nagy added a triple and single, and Carolyn Nojiri contributed three hits.

Hannah Mrazak, the Trojans’ freshman catcher, also collected three hits and drove in the team’s first run with a single.

•Downers South is used to going deep into the playoffs— they’re 56-21 in postseason play over the past 20 years—but West

Chicago ended Downers South’s hopes for a long run this season.

The 11th seeded Wildcats took advantage of six Mustang errors and defeated DGS, 6-3, to advance to Saturday’s title game vs. Downers North. It’s the first time DGS has been defeated in a first-round regional game since 1996.

“That (the errors) hurt us a lot,” said DGS coach Ron Havelka, whose team led 3-1 after five innings, but saw West Chicago score two in the sixth and three in the seventh. “You have to be able to close games off like that and we weren’t able to do that.

They were a pesky team.”

Caitlyn Daly’s two-run triple in the third inning gave the Mustangs (24-11) a 2-1 lead.

Bozek pitched a complete game for the Mustangs. She allowed only one earned run and didn’t give up a walk. Bozek and Jessie Andree were both 2-for-4 at the plate, while Crystal Loehman went 2-for-3.

•Benet, the No. 1 seed in the East Aurora Sectional, was upset

by No. 9 seed Neuqua Valley (2215) 1-0 Saturday in the Plainfield South Regional final.

The Downers Grove South tennis team placed 11th in the state, with singles players Joey Leto and doubles team of Cody Freischlag and Connor Harmon both finished in the 17-24 bracket at the state meet.

BOYS TENNIS Both won three matches in a row, but dropped their next two.

The doubles team beat Joe Laskey and Tyler Bontrager of Bradley Bourbonnais (6-0, 6-0), Matthew Kidwell and Yanis Mokraoui of Danville (6-1, 6-1) and Ryan Kennedy and Will Martin of Lake Forest (7-6 (2), 6-3).

They then lost to Patrick Logan and Patrick Spain of Logan (6-2, 7-5) and Mitch Zavesky and Kyle

Conroy and Parisi each had four kills, Junior setter Pat Dougherty

Scheffers of Marian (7-5, 6-4).

Leto opened with a win over Geneva’s Connor Vandersnick (6-0, 6-0), Metamora’s Mitchell Nguyen (6-1, 6-2, 6-0) and Sunny Singh of Champaign Centennial (6-2, 6-1).

He then battled Marian’s Julian Childers, the eventual state runner-up (6-4, 6-3), a match he had circled since the brackets came out.

After the emotional loss, he didn’t have enough in the tank to get past Warren’s Kristiyan Trukov, who won 6-4, 6-2.

“When the draws came out, that was the main match on my mind,” Leto said.“I knew it would be a tough match. I put literally every ounce of energy that I had into that match. After that loss, I just didn’t have enough to come back and beat the next guy. He was a really good player.”

South coach Peter Freischlag said the season was still a

success.

“We told the guys not to let one day or one match define three months of outstanding work. If anyone told me we would basically sweep the conference, sweep the sectional, get a perfect score at sectional, get all six down, 11 conference championships, finish 11th in state, I think I would take that.

It is just that expectations were so high, but we didn’t score as many teams as we wanted to.”

Tony Leto posted one win at the state (6-1, 6-4 over Pekin’s Derek Rineberg), while the doubles team of Kiernan Cavanagh and Jon Artus also earned one win (6-0, 6-3 over Lance Jensen and Caleb Tomaszewski of Pekin).

Benet’s doubles team of Adam Griesbach and Jeremy Miller opened with a 6-0, 6-2 win of Adam Griesbach and Jeremy Miller of Homewood-Flossmoor.

After a loss they beat Jonathan Pacheco and Alex Vasic of Lemont (7-5, 4-6, 6-3), Alex Keller and Yahn Gawrit of Lane (6-1, 6-3), Adam Maryniuk and Dennis Kontorovich of Stevenson (7-6 (5), 6-1), Connor Wasz and Jack Wennerstrum of Lyons (6-0, 6-2) and Camron Bagheri and Connor O’Kelly of Lake Forest (7-6 (1), 6-1).

The tandem of Grant Gatto and Noah Read defeated Tyrus Skaer and Adam Youck of Belleville East (6-1, 7-6 (3)). They also beat Freddy Lavric and Erwin Lavric of Fenton (6-1, 6-0) and Austin McWethy and Jason Koesler of Oswego (6-4, 6-3).

Fifth-grade students from each District 58 elementary school were recognized with this year’s Helping Children Grow awards from the Grove Foundation for their enthusiasm, effort and good character.

“The selection committee looks for children who don’t seek recognition while working hard every day, are of good strong character, and are willing to help others,” said Grove Foundation President Lois Kopis. Recipients are surprised with the award certificate and gift card from Anderson’s Bookshop during a school-wide assembly, which family members are invited to attend.
