Benet Academy senior Jennie Dizon died Thursday, May 30, when she was struck by lightning in a Downers Grove park, only days before she was to

have graduated. The 17-year-old was a Downers Grove resident and just days away from her high school graduation. Dizon’s family told reporters she had just dropped her younger brother and sister off at a dentist’s office before

heading to O’Brien Park to write in her journal. Powerful thunderstorms moved through the area, and the Downers Grove 17-year-old was struck by lightning.The Downers Grove Police Department and the DuPage County Coroner are

investigating the death. Downers Grove Police Lt. Michael Millison said Dizon was found unresponsive at approximately 5:21 p.m. May 30 after police had been notified See LIGHTNING, page 8

Standing up for a good cause Local police officers join statewide effort to support Special Olympics By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

Police from Westmont and Woodridge holstered their fear of heights and joined forces with police departments across the state Friday to help raise money for Special Olympics Illinois. Cop on Top is an annual fundraiser for Special Olympics Illinois, which encourages local law enforcement personnel and neighborhood Dunkin’ Donuts to join forces for a worthy cause. The name of the event, as you may have guessed,

meant that cops were forced to break out ladders and take their places atop participating Dunkin Donuts’ locations. Despite a forecast of severe weather, thunderstorms stayed at bay long enough for officers to get some sun and to help the event be successful. “If there is lightning or heavy rain, then we’ll be inside,” Westmont Police Chief Tom Mulhearn said prior to the event. “Otherwise, we’ll be out there on top of Dunkin’ Donuts all morning. This is for See COP ON TOP, page 4

From Particles to Politics Rep. Bill Foster discusses scientific background, political present with Woodridge Rotary By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, travelled an uncommon path on his way to the U.S. House of Representatives. Foster talked about his journey from working as a particle physicist to serving as a national politician during the Woodridge Rotary’s weekly luncheon Tuesday at Seven Bridges Golf Club.That journey,Foster said,has given him a unique perspective when dealing with many of the issues he faces in Washington.

“As a scientist, I’m always amused by the fact that both parties tend to talk about things in ways that, if you look at the numbers, are not true,” Foster said.“So as a scientist, I’ve learned to always look at the numbers.” Foster discussed everything from education to economic recovery during Tuesday’s lunch, but he underscored each of those topics with an emphasis on the valuable lessons he learned throughout his scientific career. Before winning a special election in 2008 to replace

former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, Foster had earned his Ph.D. in physics from Harvard in 1983. In 1984, he moved to Illinois to work at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, where he remained until 2006. While there, Foster was involved in several noteworthy physics experiments and in the development of a new type of integrated circuit used to measure particle collisions. Foster’s parents were deeply influential in his decision to run for office. His mother and father were both politically active, and after the death of his father, Foster decided to pursue a career in politics. “It was actually reading his See FOSTER, page 3

Congressman Bill Foster stands in front of a photo slide from his 2008 election-night celebration.

FOSTER Continued from page 2 papers, after he passed away a few years ago, that was one of the things that got me thinking about this fundamental question: ‘What fraction of your life should you spend in service to your fellow man?’” he said. “That’s something that science is absolutely no help with, and that’s one of the reasons why I like Rotary so much, because it

answers that question.” Foster’s talk was short. He discussed his early political career as a volunteer in the 2007 congressional campaign of Patrick Murphy, D-Pa.; the process of campaigning throughout Illinois; and the important function of serving as a congressman. “Most of the time, you’re voting on some sort of garbage, but sometimes, you’re voting on things that will change the lives of everyone in this country,” Foster said.

Foster was most recently elected to represent Illinois’ 11th district, beating out longtime Republican Congresswoman Judy Biggert. After his presentation, Foster took several questions from members of the Woodridge Rotary. One member asked Foster about the economy and the rate of economic recovery. “When people ask me, ‘How’s the economy doing?’ I try to reduce it to a single number, and that’s household net worth,” Foster said. “That’s the value of everything that’s owned by families in the United States.” In the 18 months prior to President Obama’s election, Foster said American families had lost about $17 trillion in household net worth. Under the Obama administration, Foster said that household net worth has fully recovered and is now above where it was at the time of the crisis. “This is a historic achievement,” he said. “I believe it had to do, in large part, with a very strong intervention that we undertook after the changing of the guard in Washington.”

Foster said the Great Recession was significantly more destructive to the economy than the Great Depression. In the 1930s, household net worth dropped by only 12 percent, compared to 25 percent during the most recent economic recession. That’s why Foster said he is working to put mechanisms in place to prevent housing bubbles from developing and busting in the future. The congressman was also asked about the state of scientific education in light of sequestration and government spending cuts. Foster recently introduced legislation that would create a competitive grant program for school districts, higher education institutions and employers to work together to design programs in the STEM field. The goal, he said, is to connect STEM coursework with a future career by providing students with STEM curriculum in high school, internships or apprenticeships in a STEM field, and dual credit that can be applied towards college. He explained that budget cuts are having an adverse effect on

3

scientific grants and research, but that the real impact of those cuts will not be felt for years to come. “These are things where the economic damage plays out decades from now,” Foster said. “It’s a fundamental problem with democracy that all of the political incentives are about getting elected two years from now. And, this causes us to underinvest in things like basic scientific research or early childhood education, where the economic pickup is not in two years but 10 or 20 years.” Foster said the way to fix this aspect of national politics is to elect people who think about the long term. Woodridge Mayor Gina Cunningham also spoke briefly during Tuesday’s lunch. Cunningham, who was elected mayor in April, also serves as the president of the Woodridge Rotary. She thanked Foster for speaking and for his work in the FEMA flood-remapping process, which assisted Woodridge residents affected by the April floods. jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

75th Street, and Route 53 and Hobson. The annual Cop on Top fundraiser is part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics, which helps fund the nearly 22,000 athletes

from Illinois who compete in the games. Michele Forzley, a Westmont resident and Special Olympics athlete, praised the Cop on Top event during Westmont’s May 16 Committee of the Whole meeting. She said it is because of these types of fundraisers that Special Olympic athletes are able to compete. “There’s no charge to athletes to participate in Special Olympics,” Forzley said. “Programs like Cop on Top— supported by the Westmont Police Department, Chief Mulhearn and the residents of Westmont—is one fundraiser that helps the 22,000 athletes in Illinois participate in Special Olympics.” Forzley has competed in a myriad of events in the Special Olympics, including basketball, softball, volleyball and golf.

Since first becoming involved in the games 13 years ago, Forzley has won over 35 medals. This year, 151 Dunkin’ Donuts rooftops were covered by Illinois police. The goal for the state was to exceed last year’s total of $235,000. Special Olympics Illinois is a not-for-profit organization offering year-round training and competition in 19 sports for more than 21,300 athletes with intellectual disabilities and nearly 13,000 Young Athletes ages 2-7 with and without intellectual disabilities.

As a resident, a business patron, a parent and a taxpayer, I’m happy to see that this agreement will help us all move forward together in the decades ahead.” The Agreement provides the school district with payments that will offset the loss of property tax revenue as a result of the TIF. District 201 will receive $15 million for capital improvements for Manning Elementary School, which is located in the TIF District. The Agreement also gives

District 201 a share of the sales tax from new businesses that move into Westmont as a result of the TIF District. “We are happy to receive this sales tax money, as it can be used for operational expenses at all the schools which will help us to continue the unique programming that we offer,” Charlton said. Westmont Mayor Ron Gunter added, “This process has been a great example of how all facets of community can work together to achieve a great outcome. In the long run, everyone will benefit from this TIF district in the downtown.” Tax Increment Financing is a unique economic development tool that the state has designed to help municipalities address areas of distress. With the reduction in federal and state funding, TIFs provide an economic incentive mechanism where a municipality can provide financial assistance in the effort to revitalize specific areas of the community.

O’Neill teacher wins Kinder Morgan grant Students in Meg Van Dyke’s science classes at O’Neill Middle School now have additional iPads available for hands-on activities and lessons, thanks to a $5,000 grant from the Kinder Morgan Foundation. Over the past several years, Van Dyke has applied for and won approximately $37,000 in grants for O’Neill from a variety of sources. With part of a $10,000 grant she won from BP a few years ago, O’Neill launched its Energy Kids Club and Compact Flourescent Light bulb fundraiser program; the school also purchased two Vernier Lab Quest hand-held scientific computing devices.

Benet Academy held their graduation ceremony Saturday, and the school released the following statement prior to the commencement: “Benet Academy is mourning the loss of senior Jennie Dizon, daughter of Eric and Marietta Dizon and sister of Emmeline ‘15 and Michael ‘17, who passed into eternal life last

evening, apparently having been struck by lightning during a thunderstorm. Throughout the day today, Benet’s chaplain, campus minister, counselors, administrators, and teachers have been available in the Chapel, in their offices, in classrooms, and throughout the school building to offer assistance, comfort, and consolation to our students and members of the school community.” An autopsy was performed Friday, May 31, at the DuPage County Coroner’s Office, and preliminary findings show electrocution consistent with a lightning strike. However, the final cause and manner of death are still pending. jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

Horoscopes Baby steps are better than crawling. The courage to move forward even when bombarded by doubts or on uncertain ground will create momentum. Use logic to overcome obstacles this week.

Knowledge is power. The more you know and learn, the easier it will be to make and keep money this week. Respect sound advice from trusted advisers rather than trying to figure it out for yourself.

Rather than rocking the boat, pick up a paddle and choose a clear direction. You can count on being diverted from impulsive actions by a guardian angel in the week to come - if you heed friendly advice.

Put on your thinking cap. Mercury is traveling through your sign and you might get a chance to figure something out in a creative way during the week ahead. Put your best thoughts down on paper.

Think before you act. In the first part of the week, you might be tempted to take spur-of-the-moment steps or change something that is better left alone. You will benefit by the advice of trusted friends.

Strive for popularity this week, but you don’t bend over backward to earn esteem. Keep relationships in perspective; someone who asks much of you may be doing you a favor by showing you your limits.

Multitasking could be counterproductive in the approaching week. You may find that you can do one thing well or several things poorly. Focus on one thing at a time; avoid frequent changes of direction.

Suspicions may be grounded in fact. It might be wise to check the facts twice before embarking on new enterprises in the early part of the week. Someone may only show you what you want to see.

Tit for tat. Remain open and sincere with others in the upcoming week and they will reciprocate. You may be called upon to be generous to those who helped you in the past.

Focus on constructive activities in the week ahead. You can wrap things up that have been pending for a long time with a flourish. Remain secure in your solid routine and a reliable work ethic.

In the week to come, you might meet up with people who have your best interests at heart. There’s a whole world of endless possibilities to explore. Accept invitations to find opportunities.

Fads fade and won’t fit your future. You can’t alter your fate by changing your clothes or your habits. You will be considered more trustworthy and reliable if you stick to routines in the week ahead.

Downers South takes boys state volleyball title

Lisle baseball wins Class 2A state crown

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

HOFFMAN ESTATES – How dominant was Downers South in its march to the 2013 boys state volleyball championship last weekend? Only three of the eight matches played Friday and Saturday went two games. The Mustangs took part in two of those, and won both decisively—a 25-18, 25-21 win over St. Charles North in Saturday’s semifinal match, and 25-18, 25-20 for the state crown against Lincoln-Way North. “I can’t believe it,” senior defensive specialist David DeMarco said after the Mustangs were presented with the championship trophy and their individual medals. “It’s just kind of been a dream. It hasn’t set in yet. It didn’t feel like state, but I knew it was.”

It has been said throughout the years all you need to win a state title in the IHSA baseball tournament is two good pitchers and some timely hitting. Lisle proved that is true Saturday night when they claimed the Class 2A state title with a 10-1 win over Pleasant Plains at Peoria’s Dozer Park. The Lions did it behind the left arm of Alex Ventrella, who went five innings, giving up four hits and one unearned run. “Alex and Ryan (Van Volkenburg) have been great all year long, and you need two good ones, and I had two good ones,” said Lisle coach Pete Meyer. The offense backed Ventrella up nicely, scoring six runs in the first inning to give him a cushion.

South beats North for sectional softball title By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

During the regular season, cross-town rivals Downers Grove South and Downers Grove North each won their halves of the West Suburban Conference, with South winning the Gold and North claiming the Silver. So, it was a fitting battle between the two teams June 1 in the Neuqua Valley Sectional final. South used back-to-back sixth inning home runs to score all

of its runs, winning the game 3-2 to advance to the Rosemont Supersectional, one game away from state. “This is amazing,” freshman pitcher Caroline Hedgcock said. “At the beginning of the year, we were not even ranked, and now we are one of the top eight teams in the state.” Hedgcock battled North’s senior standout Elaine Heflin toe-to-toe all game, but it was the South offense that ended up coming through.

After a Hannah Mrazek home run put North up 1-0 early, the Mustangs were able to put together three of their four total hits in the sixth inning – all with two outs. Kristen Bialek reached on a bloop single up the middle, and Melissa Orton followed that up with a two-out, two-run homer to give South the lead.

Trojans fall in sectional final By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

It looked good early for the Downers Grove baseball team when catcher Matt Zabloudil blasted a three-run home run in the second inning Saturday in the Neuqua Valley Sectional final. The home run gave the Trojans (22-12) a 3-1 lead, and Troy Southard’s sacrifice fly scored Conner Kopach to give North a 4-1 lead before the host Wildcats plated multiple runs in the of the third, fourth and sixth innings en route to an 12-4 win “We were in chase mode, and if you look back on our games this year, we weren’t in chase mode except for one game, and that was when we made it work in the regional championship game,” said Downers Grove North coach Chad Isaacson. “When we had opportunities to make plays, we had to make plays, when we had the chance to make pitches, we had to

make pitches and when we had the opportunity to drive people in, you have to drive people in. They did a better job of that today. “It got away from us a little but today, but credit to them. That is a dang good team over there. They got the job done, and we didn’t get it done today. We are disappointed with today, but I’m so happy for the guys and what they have accomplished this year.” To get to the sectional final, the Trojans defeated cross-town foe Downers Grove South 8-0 in the sectional opener. Mike O’Malley earned the win, outdueling Iowa-bound Zach Burdi. North touched Burdi for three runs in third inning, with RBIs from Southard and Joe Provenzano. David Henson would hit a three-run home run as part of a five-run sixth inning. “We started off the season real well, and the last few weeks and the last two weeks

of the season, we spun our wheels a little bit,” Isaacson said. “We battled their tails off and righted the ship and pushed through into a regional and in a sectional and to have an opportunity to be here in a sectional championship. I am so proud of them just for their resilience and how they went about their business. They could have given up, and they didn’t. That is our leadership at the top. We asked the guys to continue to battle all season. We have been a resilient crew.” Isaacson said he is proud of the leadership of his seniors. “The seniors made this run, and the juniors were right there behind them,” he said. “They are on to bigger and better things. They are a better product from when we started the year to right now, and that is all we ask. They are better players and better people. They are great kids; it just didn’t happen today.” Follow Mark @2Mark_My_Words mark@buglenewspapers.com

Lisle senior Alex Ventrella earned the win on the mound in the Class 2A state title game Saturday.

LISLE Continued from page 11 “Our sticks came along tonight for Alex, and he was struggling a bit because he is used to a little more rest, but he came out and he was a man out there,” Meyer said.“We told the guys before the game to come out and play with the passion and fun of an 8-yearold; don’t make it bigger than it is, and get Alex some run support. Boy, oh boy, I never could have written anything better than six in the first.” After the game, Ventrella still couldn’t believe what happened. “I can’t describe this in words. This is one of the greatest stories in sports. What are we, like 5,000th in the nation? I don’t even know what our Illinois ranking is. We weren’t even supposed to win regionals. This is just amazing. I can’t even put this into words right now.” Ventrella said the six-run first inning helped him settle down and pitch through a sore arm. “It was awesome,” he said. “I can’t thank my team enough. My arm was killing me today. I don’t know how many pitches I threw this week.” Leading the way offensively for Lisle was Brian Czyl, who was 2-for-2 with a pair of runs scored. Kevin Coppin, Jake Oard and Bailey Welch had two RBI, while Adam Grego and Jordan Herman

each drove in one. The trip to state was the first one ever for the Lions’ baseball team, but it was no surprise the Lions won it. As a school, Lisle has advanced to state four times in three sports and has come away with the title three times. The baseball team earned the win with a 23-10-1, knocking off heavy favorite Teutopolis (29-4) in the state semifinal game, 2-1. In that contest,Van Volkenburg threw a complete game, allowing one run on eight hits. He struck out four and walked only three. “This is an amazing feeling,” Van Volkenburg said. “I was just happy to be here, but after we beat Teutopolis, we gained more confidence and knew we could win this thing. I am feeling pretty good right now.” Lisle knew favorites could be beat. A year ago, the Lions posted a 31-6 record, but were eliminated from the playoffs in the regional title game. “I’ve said it a couple times, baseball is a funny game,” Meyer said. “One year, it’s the most ruthless thing in the world. It’s a single elimination tournament, and you’re out before the regional is over when you think you have a good chance. I think we learned from that type of thing. We said all year long, things just have to go your way. “Last year, a couple teams won state championships that weren’t even .500 when the playoffs started. So I told the guys from the very first day,

‘Anything can happen. You play this season for the playoffs.’They believed that, and they worked so hard on it. Attitude and effort is what we ask of them. Attitude and effort will get you a long way in baseball and in life, and that’s what they believe. “They had the greatest attitudes, they put forth 100 percent all the time, they compete like champions and they are champions.”

CONGRATS, GRADS Not only did Lisle win the baseball title June 1, it was also the school’s graduation. Because the six seniors on the baseball team could not make the ceremony, a special graduation was held in Peoria, and seniors Ventrella, Van Volkenberg, Czyl, Herman, Grego and Bobby Hunt were able to don their caps and gowns and graduate together Saturday morning. “What a day for our seniors,” Meyer said. “The seniors were able to graduate in a beautiful ceremony we had here. The school board president was here; their parents were here.“ The team even had Czyl its own valedictorian, as he was the player with the highest GPA. “He gave an amazing speech,” Meyer said. “It inspired me. They even had his name in the program as team valedictorian. It was great.” Follow Mark @2_Mark_My_Words mark@buglenewspapers.com

VOLLEYBALL Continued from page 11 Other noteworthy accomplishments for DGS— which won its first state title since the boys soccer team’s 2005 Class AA championship—include handing the 37-4 Phoenix only their second two-games loss of the year, and becoming the first boys volleyball team in state history to win it all despite losing 10-or-more games (the Mustangs finished 31-10). DGS also became the first West Suburban Conference squad to win a boys state volleyball title. “It isn’t how you start, it’s obviously how you finish,”secondyear coach Kurt Steuer said. And the Mustangs finished off the Phoenix in surprisingly easy fashion, using a combination of timely kills by senior Nick Timreck (11) and junior Mike Schmitt (10), with great defense and crisp passing—specifically from seniors DeMarco and Steve Kryk, along with junior Tyler Zowaski. “I read a quote (in a volleyball magazine) that passing predicts your level of play,” Steuer said, “and our three main passers -- being David, Tyler and Steve -were able to set (setter) Jordan (Pawlicki) wherever he wanted to. (Pawlicki) made some great decisions this postseason.” Pawlicki, who tallied a matchhigh 29 assists, said, “It’s been such an up and down season with things happening, losses and things like that. It just feels good to know that everything we’ve done paid off and that we finally meshed at the right time, and with a bunch of great guys.” Lincoln-Way North held the lead just once the entire match:

10-8 in Game 1. But the Mustangs went on a 5-0 run and took a 1310 advantage—the last two points coming on kills from Timreck and Schmitt. A kill by sophomore Will Tischler (seven) provided DGS with its largest lead of the game, 18-13, and Timreck finished off the Phoenix with a kill and two blocks. “It’s awesome,” Timreck said. “I’m kind of speechless right now. David, Steve, Tyler, Will, they all passed unbelievable today. Every pass was there. “When I get a big kill, the crowd goes nuts, and that just pumps me up even more. And I’ve got David in my ear, telling me to block everything you can. With the fan support and David in my ear, it just gets me going.” The Phoenix crept to within a point of DGS in Game 2 (12-11), but the Mustangs began pulling away following two Schmitt kills and another from Timreck. Lincoln-Way North never got closer than two points the rest of the way. DeMarco, who finished with 14 digs,said he could tell Lincoln-Way North was frustrated it couldn’t generate a sustained run. “We sensed that, especially on the faces of the Lincoln-Way North players,” DeMarco said. “I could see that they were getting really frustrated, and I know them from club (volleyball). It wasn’t what I was used to seeing (from them). It was reassuring seeing that kind of look.” Steuer said the Mustangs’ season started to turn the corner playing at the Lincoln-Way East tournament in early May—a tourney in which Lincoln-Way North also participated. But the two teams were in separate brackets. “That was a tough tournament— the Lincoln-Way East tournament

all the way up to the playoffs. It kind of prepared us.” Steuer scouted the Phoenix during their 25-23, 22-25, 26-23 victory in the semifinals over Glenbrook South and mapped out a strategy to combat the play of their standout outside hitter, Jake Walenga, who piled up a combined 45 kills versus Glenbrook South and Friday’s quarterfinal win over Minooka. Walenga did get 13 kills against DGS, but the Mustangs were able to limit his effectiveness. “We had to stop Jake,” Steuer said. “He’s an outstanding player and definitely one of their go-to guys.Watching him and watching his tendencies, we kind of adjusted our defense around that, and we were able to pick the ball up.” In the semifinals. the Mustangs took care of St. Charles North, the eventual third-place winner,, as Tischler posted nine kills, while Timreck and senior outside hitter John Hanek each had six. Pawlicki netted 26 assists and six digs, and DeMarco totaled 10 digs. Deerfield gave DGS its toughest

test of the tourney during the quarterfinals on Friday, but the Mustangs prevailed in a threegame match, 25-20, 22-25, 25-17. Tischler and Timreck ended up with 11 and 10 kills, respectively. Schmitt and Hanek each had eight, and senior middle hitter Austin Adank chipped in with seven. Pawlicki amassed 40 assists; Zowaski recorded 10 digs and DeMarco eight.

game, and two of them were home runs and off of Heflin, that’s tough to do. She is really outstanding. We were fortunate to get a little bloop hit there, and then then Orton homered and the one Andree hit was a big insurance run,” said Downers Grove South coach Ron Havelka. “We beat a real good team today. Heflin is as tough as they get. I told the girls that our chances of getting three hits in a row off Heflin were not very good, but we got the three in a row.” Hedgcock, who beat WheatonWarrenville South 3-2 to advance to the sectional final, said she enjoyed batting her veteran

counterpart. “Heflin was so fun to pitch against, and their team is really good, we knew it would be a close game,” she said. “I came out and knew I had a good team behind me, so I came out and let them put the ball in play knowing I had a good defense behind me.” Hedgecock said she couldn’t wait to get out to the mound after the home runs gave her the lead. “It was like throwing gasoline on a fire,” she said. “We really wanted to go back out there and really push. And we did.” North (26-9) would get one back in that inning but left the

bases loaded. All told, the Trojans stranded nine runners. “We had chances,” said North coach Mark Magro. “They are a hot team. They beat Naperville Central, they beat Naperville North and now us.” The Trojans battled adversity all season, losing Purdue-commit junior Dale Ryndak to a torn ACL the first game of the season. Magro said he told his team after to cry because the season is over, not because they lost. “It was a great season,” he said. “They battled hard today and left it all on the field. What more can I ask for? We lost Dale in the first game of the year. It was a great season; we had a great group of

Downers South senior David DeMarco, who led the Mustangs with 14 digs versus Lincoln-Way North, dives for the ball Saturday night.

SECTIONAL TITLE After losing the first game of their Proviso West sectional title matchup against secondseeded Neuqua Valley, 26-24, the fifth-seeded Mustangs stormed back to win the next two—2521 and 25-22—and advance to meet Deerfield in the state quarterfinals. Friday’s trip to the state tourney was the Mustangs’ first since 2007 when it lost a quarterfinal contest to eventual state champion Wheaton Warrenville South. Steuer was an assistant on that team, and one of Steuer’s current

assistants, Nate Kull, was a middle hitter. The Mustangs came close to eking out a victory in Game 1, knotting up the game at 24, but Neuqua seal the victory on consecutive kills from James Marton and Jeremy Royko. DGS led by as many as five points twice during Game 2 (15-10 and 16-11). Neuqua was able to pull within a point of the Mustangs on two occasions, 18-17 and 19-18, yet DGS won it on a combined block from Timreck and Hanek (nine kills each), and an ace from junior Tyler Kaczmarek. The Mustangs experienced some anxious moments towards the end of the third game after surging ahead 17-12.The Wildcats pulled to within a point of DGS four times—the last being 22-21—before the Mustangs scored three of the last four points. Adank’s kill (he had five for the game) put the finishing touch on Neuqua. Pawlicki registered 29 assists, Steve Kryk had seven digs, and Hanek also added six digs and three blocks. girls. There was no drama like you have some time. They were a tight-knit group.” When two good teams meet up, the games usually come down to one inning, and Havelka said he was prepared for that. “Playoffs are a lot different than the regular season, because every game is a game seven,” he said. “One bad inning can be what decides it. Luckily, we got the one good inning there with the three runs. We started a little slow during the season, and I think once we won that first regional game, they started to believe.” Follow Mark @2_Mark_My_Words mark@buglenewspapers.com

See and hear the best of Classical Europe I’ve always taught what I loved - and I’ve always loved music. I spent my high school years as a piano teacher. I’d start out my students with boogies and pop songs, and eventually get them turned on to Bach and Beethoven. In 1980, a truck dropped off 2,500 copies of my first guidebook - “Europe Through the Back Door.” During that year’s Christmas recital, some parents sat on boxes of travel books while their kids played carols, boogies, and Bach. By the next Christmas, I had let my piano students go. From that point on, I would be teaching European culture in print rather than on the keyboard. But I haven’t abandoned my Bach and Beethoven. Just as travel broadens your perspectives, so can music. Mixing the two on a trip to Europe brings an extra dimension to your travels.And four European cities - Salzburg, Leipzig, Bergen and Vienna - really

rock when it comes to sights honoring local composers and their music. Salzburg is forever smiling to the tunes of Mozart.You’ll get a double dose of Wolfgang Amadeus here - the Mozart Birthplace and the Mozart Residence (www.mozarteum. at).The house where Mozart was born is also where he composed most of his boy-genius works.Today it’s the most popular Mozart sight in town.You’ll peruse three floors of rooms with exhibits displaying paintings, letters, personal items, and lots of facsimiles, all attempting to bring life to the Mozart story. The Mozart Residence Mozart’s second home - is less interesting than the house where he was born, but it’s also roomier, less crowded, and holds a piano that Mozart actually owned. It also comes with an informative audioguide and a 30-minute narrated slideshow. If you’re

looking for a deal, one combo ticket will get you into both places. For those traveling to Germany, there are two sights in Leipzig that pay homage to another musical genius - Johann Sebastian Bach.The historic St.Thomas Church (www. thomaskirche.org) is where Bach ran the boys’ choir from 1723 until 1750.While here, Bach was remarkably prolific - for a time, he even composed a new cantata every week. In front of the altar is the composer’s tomb. Across the little square from St.Thomas is the small, pricey, but very well-presented Bach Museum (www.bach-leipzig. de).You’ll see the actual organ console where Bach played his favorite instrument, an iron chest that came from his household and original manuscripts.With the help of the excellent audioguide, this museum is an absolute delight for music lovers. Far to the north near the Norwegian port of Bergen is Edvard Grieg’s home,Troldhaugen

(www.kunstmuseene.no/ troldhaugen). Norway’s greatest composer spent his last 22 summers here, soaking up inspirational fjord beauty and composing many of his greatest works.You can visit his house on your own, but it’s more enjoyable if you take the included 20-minute tour. In summer, try to also attend the lunchtime piano concert.And don’t miss his little studio near the fjord; in this tiny space Grieg created some huge works. Vienna is to classical music what Athens is to sculpture, Florence to painting, and Milwaukee to beer.You can make pilgrimages to the homes (now mostly small museums) of many composers: Schubert, Brahms, Haydn, Beethoven or Mozart. But I find these places inconveniently located and generally underwhelming. My favorite musical setting in Vienna is not a single home but an entire “House of Music.” The Haus der Musik (www.hdm. at) is a high-tech experience that celebrates the hometown

specialty.The museum, spread over five floors and welldescribed in English, is unique for its effective use of interactive touch-screen computers and headphones to explore the physics of sound. The museum also features fine audiovisual exhibits on each of the famous local heroes (Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Strauss and Mahler). Before leaving, pick up a virtual baton to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic. Each time you screw up, the musicians put their instruments down and ridicule you; make it through the piece, and you’ll get a rousing round of applause. If you can’t get to Europe soon,“Rick Steves’ Europe:A Symphonic Journey,” is debuting all across the United States on public television this spring. It focuses on the rise of nationalism in European history and music, celebrating how, in the late 19th century, music partnered with freedom-lovers. Romanticism and Nationalism were on the same team.

I’m pretty laid back and like to be spontaneous, but I’m in my late 30s and my career is not thriving. How can I start getting the promotions and the salary I want? A. If you want to move up a corporate food chain, you cannot be a leaf in the wind. You’ll simply end up with everyone else’s agenda blowing you around in ways that serve their goals. My clients tell me one of the hardest aspects of executive coaching is realizing that they have got to define their own goals. No good fairy is going to show up someday and tell them what they ought to be when they grow up. As we age, it does tend to occur to us that the grown-ups are now us. The only guarantee we have at work is our failure to define our goals means we will end up somewhere else. A liberating way to start goal

setting is to pretend you do know a magic fairy and that it’s on your schedule this week to have lunch with her. What would you ask her for? If you believed you could do absolutely anything, where would you tell her you want to go? Now,the scary part is to put a road map between where you are now and where you want to be. Most of my time with clients is spent building this road. The biggest challenge for them is to be willing to break the journey into baby steps. The reason baby steps are tough is most people want something they could do tomorrow that will cause the clouds to break open and the angels to sing. Unfortunately, no goal you can put on your list will give you this Technicolor result. Instead, we have to be willing to pick away at what looks like a mountain with a fork but do

it every day. You’d be amazed at the steps you can carve into the side of the mountain with a fork by tenacity, consistency and clarity of direction. Once you know where you are going and the steps you are going to take, it is much easier to influence other people toward your goals. During meetings, you can articulate where you will end up. During your conversations with your boss you can get his counsel on how best to go where you want. As you have these conversations, you build a buzz and belief in others that you are going to do exactly what you’ve been saying. Others will then support and anticipate your future achievements. Floating on the latest corporate breeze and crossing your fingers that people will support the goals that you yourself can’t even articulate is only a recipe for misery. At the end of a long career, you may have been spontaneous but it is highly unlikely you will be happy or well paid.

Woodridge, adds 150 jobs Greencore USA, located at 10350 Argonne Drive in Woodridge, recently finalized a cooler expansion project to accommodate a large national customer and will supply fresh, convenient food products to regional stores. “The village of Woodridge welcomes Greencore to the Woodridge business community,” Mayor Gina Cunningham said. “Their growth in the local market provides job opportunities for Woodridge residents and further strengthens our local manufacturing base. The village of Woodridge remains committed to supporting industrial business expansion and reinvestment in the community. Despite these challenging economic times, this is yet another example of a Woodridge business continuing to grow due to the strong probusiness environment in the village.” Greencore USA is part of a leading international manufacturer of convenience foods that employs

approximately 11,000 people worldwide. The Woodridge facility currently employs 250 people in a variety of jobs, from entry level food production and delivery to quality control and management. As a product of its recent growth, Greencore USA is currently recruiting at 150 new employees to support expanded production. Greencore joins several other food related manufacturing and distribution businesses in Woodridge including Home Run Inn Pizza, Indiana Sugars,Asli Finer Foods, and Edward Don. “Greencore is excited about our recent expansion into Woodridge,” said Liam McClennon, CEO of Greencore USA. “The village and mayor are supportive of industries in the area, and there are many resources available to businesses that,like Greencore,are looking for tremendous growth opportunities. We look forward to working with the village to identify opportunities for investing in and growing our business.”
