Knowing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke may save a life

ith scorching temperatures over 90 degrees this summer, local officials would like to remind residents about health precautions and their community cooling centers, which are temporary air-conditioned public spaces designed to deal with the health effects of a heat wave.

Heat waves should be taken very seriously. In recent years, excessive heat has caused more deaths than all other weather events, including floods, according to the American Red Cross.

The Village of Woodridge advises residents to stay hydrated; drink plenty of fluids and avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol; stay indoors and avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest part of the day and check on children, the elderly and those with functional needs to make sure they’re staying safe.

Woodridge Chamber announces resignation of president and CEO Amy Melinder

By Robin Ambrosia Staff Reporter

Woodridge Area Chamber of Commerce has announced the resignation of their president and CEO,Amy Melinder.

“On behalf of the Chamber, I’d like to thank Amy for all of her hard work and dedication these past 5 years,” said Kandy Sladek, Woodridge Area Chamber of Commerce Chairwoman of the Board. “We will miss her professionalism, organization,

HEAT Continued from page 1 Additional hot weather precautions, according to the Village of Downers Grove website, include: • stay in an air-conditioned space at home, the library, the mall, movie theater or at a cooling center • take cool baths or showers • wear loose, light cotton clothing • do not eat heavy meals • avoid cooking with your oven • do not sit in a hot car, even for a short time or leave a child or pet in a hot car Additional use of air conditioning and other cooling devices increases the demand of our electrical supply system and can result in power outages.

Keep electric lights off or turned down and shades drawn and blinds closed, (but keep windows slightly open if you do not have air conditioning).

Residents should have a flashlight handy if needed, according to the Westmont Police & Fire Departments and Emergency Management Agency.

“We encourage anyone needing a break from the heat to visit local public facilities like the Downers Grove Library or Park District Recreation Center,” said Doug Kozlowski, Village of Downers Grove communications director. “Checking on elderly neighbors and family members when the temperature spikes is

leadership and most of all, her friendship.”

The chamber board of directors must now embark on the search for a new president.

“To begin the search for a new President/CEO, we will post an ad on the Illinois Chamber of Commerce website,” Sladek said.

“In addition, the Board of Directors will be taking this opportunity to update the President/CEO job description to adapt to our current and future needs.”

Melinder offers some insight for

the next Woodridge Area Chamber of Commerce President.

“Woodridge is a unique community in which everyone works together – the Chamber, Village, Park District, School District, Library,” Melinder said.

“This creates an environment conducive to cooperative growth and opportunity.I would encourage the new president and CEO to further foster these relationships, providing opportunities for the business community not readily available elsewhere.”

Melinder is making the move to be the new director of community engagement for the Woodridge School District 68.

“The new director of community engagement position at Woodridge School District #68 is an opportunity to further develop my career while utilizing my strengths and the aspects of my current position I enjoy most – developing relationships,communications,and serving the community,” Melinder said.

While Melinder’s last day at

the chamber will be July 9, she appreciates being able to maintain a relationship with the Woodridge community.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Woodridge Area Chamber of Commerce and the relationships I have developed.

I appreciate having had the opportunity to serve theWoodridge area business community, and I look forward to continuing to serve Woodridge in my new position at Woodridge School District #68,” Melinder said.

The difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke is the severity of the condition.

Heat exhaustion typically involves the loss of bodily fluids through heavy sweating during strenuous exercise or physical labor, while heat stroke (also known as sunstroke) is a lifethreatening condition in which a person’s temperature control system stops working and the body is unable to cool itself, according to the American Red Cross.

Woodridge mayor encourages local businesses to utilize village as resource

By Robin Ambrosia Staff Reporter

According to the Small Business Administration, depending on the type of business, a small business is defined as maintaining less than 500 employees, or earning less than $2.5 million in annual receipts. This encompasses a wide variety of businesses in Woodridge as well as defines the workplaces for many area residents.

During these turbulent economic times, the village is working hard to support their local businesses as well as increase job opportunities for their residents.

“Consider us, the Village of Woodridge, an economic resource to support you in your success,” said Mayor William Murphy.

One of Woodridge’s 2012-2013 Village Economic Development Strategic Goals was to host a small business lunch with speakers highlighting available federal and state resources to support small business efforts.

On June 27, the Village of Woodridge, along with the Woodridge Area Chamber of Commerce, sponsored the first Better Business Luncheon in order to assist local businesses, which was held at Seven Bridges Golf Club.

Three speakers from the College of Dupage (COD)’s Center for Entrepreneurship and one from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (Il-DCEO) provided insight into free opportunities to improve their business operations by using local government as a resource.

COD Program Manager of the Illinois Small Business Development Center (ISBDC), David Gay, spoke of the center being a hidden resource for small business owners.

“Our ‘students’ are the business owner or the aspiring business

“So, therefore, I ask you how come you haven’t come to see us. We don’t charge for our services because we are grant funded. That’s all your tax dollars at work. We don’t do for you but we will advise, guide, and train on a purely objective basis.”

David Gay, ISBDC owner in the district,” said Gay. “We are part of the COD as they are our employer; however we are part of a much broader network of small business support centers.”

The ISBDC at COD is part of a statewide network of small business resource providers sponsored in part through state Il-DCEO and federal, U.S. Small Business Administration grants, according to the COD business resource website.

“So, therefore, I ask you how come you haven’t come to see us. We don’t charge for our services because we are grant funded.That’s all your tax dollars at work,” said Gay. “We don’t do for you but we will advise, guide, and train on a purely objective basis.”

The SBDC through the COD provides one-on-one counseling services to new and existing businesses at no charge. They will review business plans and discuss financing options, bank loans, SBA and state-backed loan programs, marketing, management and other topics of concern to business clients.

“I’m like the general practitioner of small business as I will critique, rip-apart, play devil’s advocate on any number of issues such as the feasibility study, businesses development strategy, budgeting issues,” said Gay. “I work with existing businesses on acquisitions to help them figure out what a reasonable valuation is for the target business among other issues.”

The SBDC through the COD

can also provide referrals to area business professionals who can help businesses thrive. They maintain a data base of accountants, attorneys, consultants, banks and other business providers who are particularly attuned to smallbusiness needs, according to the COD business resource website.

The federal government is the largest buyer in the world, spending over $500 billion each year, according to Rita Haake, COD Program Manager, Illinois Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC).

“We help businesses with understanding local, state, and federal government contracting on all levels and with certification,” said Haake.“We can assist you on what contracts are beneficial to your business, thus creating and retaining more jobs.”

PTACs are the bridge between buyer and supplier, bringing to bear their knowledge of both government contracting and the capabilities of contractors to maximize fast, reliable service to government with better quality and at lower costs, according to the Association of Procurement Technical Assistance Center.

The Illinois PTAC at COD is a cooperative program between the State of Illinois and the U.S. government to assist firms in becoming a government supplier, according to Haake.

Another option to increase small businesses productivity is to consider international trade.

“Ninety-five percent of the world’s population and two-

thirds of total world purchasing power are located outside the United States,” said Luanne Mayorga, COD Program Manager, Illinois International Trade Center.

The international marketplace is a $4 trillion opportunity where American products can be competitive and profitable. Exporting offers the opportunity to open new markets, broaden customer bases and reduce seasonal fluctuations characteristic of domestic sales.

New and expanded information tools and services make it easier for firms of all sizes to enter the international marketplace, according to the COD Illinois International Trade Center.

The Illinois Economic Development for a Growing Economy Program (EDGE) offers special tax incentives for companies to locate or expand their operations in Illinois.

Tax credits are available for qualifying businesses making capital investments and creating new jobs in Illinois, according to Michelle Michals, Northeast Senior Account Manager, IlDCEO. “Also, we want to make sure your workforce is trained so

we have the Employer Training Investment Program (ETIP) which assists in training workforce to increase productivity for Illinois small businesses,” said Michals.

The IL-DCEO offers small businesses a variety of services and programs all listed at their website at www.commerce. state.il.us/dceo/.

The Village of Woodridge has made business retention a top priority for the 2012-2013 fiscal year. Last October, the Village Board established several key goals to retain and expand existing businesses and to attract new ones.

“Another of our goals the board set out last fall was for staff to contact 15 businesses before the end of the year to see how they are doing and how we can help them.” said Michael Mays, Village of Woodridge director of community development. “We have reached out to five and will continue to reach out to others.”

In addition, the Business Resource Guide and Retail Opportunities Directory for new and existing businesses, vacancy updates and other economic opportunities can be found on the village website at www.vil. woodridge.il.us.

Annual pro-life movement this week

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

As this year’s presidential candidates argue economics and healthcare, activists in DuPage County and surrounding areas are getting ready for a march of their own, as the anti-abortion movement hits the streets.

The 13th annual Face the Truth Tour, organized by the Pro-Life Action League, will be taking to the streets on July 6, in an effort to pass on the pro-life message.

The tour takes van loads of pro-life advocates to busy roadways, where they display four-foot images of pre-born fetuses juxtaposed with fourfoot posters of aborted fetuses.

“We respect the responsibility of parents to

educate their children on such issues. That’s why we always place Warning signs several blocks in advance of our display, to allow parents and others to choose an alternate route if they would rather not see the pictures.”

Pro-Life Action League website Without doubt, the controversial protest gets the attention, sometimes to support, and often times, to the dismay of passersby.

This year, protesters will be at the corners of Cass and Ogden

avenues in Westmont from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday, and the corners of Cermak and Manheim roads in Westchester from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m on Monday.

necessary portrayal of abortion.

“When people actually see it, when they behold it with their own eyes, then support for abortion really begins to corrode,” Eric Scheidler, executive director of the ProLife Action League, said.

But the organization also said they are sympathetic to those who would rather avoid the protest. Warning signs will be placed in the distance before the intersections, to allow drivers an opportunity to steer clear of the protests if they desire to do so.

“We respect the responsibility of parents to educate their children on such issues,” the league website states. “That’s

why we always place Warning signs several blocks in advance of our display, to allow parents and others to choose an alternate route if they would rather not see the pictures.”

The League credits itself with having closed eight abortion clinics in Chicago and nearly 100 across the country.

“We are teaching,” founder Joe Scheidler said. “We are teaching what abortion is-it’s destroying a nation and destroying our spirit.

It’s anti-American. It’s anti-life.”

The Pro-Life League will be on the streets throughout July.

Trivia Night Woodridge Police Department hosts fundraiser for Special Olympics Illinois

By Robin Ambrosia Staff Reporter

Will the Woodridge Police Officers answer more sports trivia questions than the Woodridge firefighters? Or could the local Rotary Cub members challenge the Kiwanis club members to name three James Bond films that have a one-word title?

Although the oath ‘Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt’ belongs to the Special Olympics Athletes, the oath could be used by participants in next week’s Woodridge Police Trivia Night, a fundraiser for Special Olympics Illinois.

On Friday, July 13, the Woodridge Police Department, as part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run, hosts its first Trivia Night fundraiser at 7 p.m., located at Bobak’s Signature Events, 6440 Double Eagle Drive, Woodridge.

Trivia Night is an example of the many fundraisers held by various Illinois law enforcement, from local police departments

“If you are interested in a fun-filled night... form

your team, complete the registration, and prepare yourself for an entertaining, yet challenging night of trivia,” Daniel McIntyre, Woodridge tactical officer to the Illinois FBI Districts, in support of Special Olympics Illinois.

Registration begins at 6 p.m.

There will be appetizers as well as a cash bar available.

“Anyone can either register as a single player or as part of a team. The cost is $25 per player or $200 for a team of 10 that registers together. Each team will consist of 10 members,” said Woodridge Tactical Officer Daniel McIntyre, Woodridge Police Department Trivia Night coordinator.

Area businesses or clubs are encouraged to enter a team to compete as well as have fun while raising money for a great cause, according to McIntyre.

“This type of event is a great team building event,” said McIntyre. “Any family, athletic or school team, business or group can register as a Trivia Night team. They are a lot of fun.”

The event will have 10 rounds with 10 questions per round.

The different categories include sports, television, movies, video games, and pop culture among others.

The trivia portion will begin at 7 p.m. Questions are from a question bank, which is used in several other trivia nights, according to McIntyre.

A separate silent auction will be held and raffle tickets will be available for the Harley Davidson Raffle at the event.

A theft occurred sometime between 1 and 5 p.m. on June 24 in the 8300 block of Abeth.

Unknown persons removed two bikes from a driveway.

A criminal trespass to vehicle occurred sometime between 6 p.m. on June 24 and 6:45 a.m. on June 25 in the 7300 block of Woodward Ave. Unknown persons went through the contents of the vehicles glove compartment.

According to McIntyre, they will be accepting silent auction donations until 5 p.m. the day of the event at the Woodridge Police Department, located at One Plaza Drive, Woodridge, IL 60517, with a note directing it to McIntyre’s attention.

Entry fees can be paid online at http://specialolympicstrivia. eventbrite.com/ or mailed to the Woodridge Police Department.

All checks need to be made payable to Special Olympics Illinois.

This event will be held to support special needs, social, and athletic activities for special citizens, according to McIntyre.

In Illinois, there are Special Olympics competitions happening at the local area, regional, and state level throughout the year for more than 21,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities and more than 11,000 young athletes ages 2-7 with and without intellectual disabilities in Illinois, according to the Special Olympics Illinois website.

While the actual Torch Run

relay is their single largest event, other Law Enforcement Torch Run special events include Dunkin’ Donuts Cop on Rooftop, a Harley Davidson Raffle, Polar Plunges, Run WITH The Law, and a Truck Convoy. All of these fundraising projects have two goals: to raise money and to gain awareness for the athletes who participate in Special Olympics Illinois, according to the Torch Run Relay website.

A first place award will be awarded to the first place team.

In the event that the team must cancel, the entry fee is non-refundable and will be considered a donation to Special Olympics Illinois. The donation is also tax deductible.

“If you are interested in a fun-filled night... form your team, complete the registration, and prepare yourself for an entertaining, yet challenging night of trivia,” said McIntyre.

More information or registration can be found at http://specialolympicstrivia. eventbrite.com/ or by calling McIntyre at 630-960-8919.

A burglary from motor vehicle occurred sometime between 4 p.m. on June 25 and 9:30 a.m. on June 26 in the 2000 block of Country Club Drive. Unknown persons removed a GPS and iPod nano.

Police Blotter At time of publication, the Bugle was unable to acquire blotters from the Downers Grove and Westmont Police Departments.

Forum Letter to the Editor

Drive safe this 4th of July holiday Illinois State Police districts statewide are gearing up for a safe 4th of July holiday weekend, and we want travelers to reach their final destinations safely.

Safe roadways, safe travelers, and safe motorists remain our top priority in District 05, but the combination of high traffic volume, impaired drivers, and unrestrained motorists increases the chances for a tragedy to occur. Too often celebrations are cut short by impaired drivers and poor decisions.

Our goal is to implement enforcement efforts which will result in fewer crashes as we drive zero fatalities to reality.

During the holiday period, officers will patrol the interstates to make roads safer for holiday travel. Troopers will also be conducting road side safety checks and other traffic enforcement details to identify “Fatal Four” moving violations: Speeding, DUI, Seatbelts and Distracted Driving.

As a reminder, District 05 is also kicking-off a series of holiday enforcement and education blitzes for the

community to stress the financial impact, and other consequences associated with Driving Under the Influence offenses. Simply put, arrive safely by designating a driver.

Driving Under the Influence has tragic and fatal outcomes for everyone involved. We want you and your family members to be safe on our roadways.

Safety is our number one mission in District 5, so help us to help you arrive to your destination on time and safely.

Plan ahead, talk with your children and remind them before they begin their journey to make the right choices - so everyone comes home safely.

Our efforts in combating irresponsible driving are important in District 5 and will continue throughout the year, and years to follow.

The Illinois State Police is making every effort to ensure an enjoyable holiday for everyone, but most importantly a safe one.

Captain Bridget Bertrand, Commander District 5 State Police

Follow your dream.

You are friendly toward everybody; you might find that tweeting suits your style.

In the week to come, however, you could be too aggressive about taking the lead in groups.

Bad judgment jams up your jolliest times. When you’re afraid to do something in the week ahead, chances are it’s exactly the thing you should be doing.

Impulsive purchases and passions are possible.

You can talk the talk and walk the walk. In the week ahead, your cup seems to runneth over with romance and passion. Problems arise, however, when you feel you can’t get enough and try too hard.

This week’s full moon might fool you. In the upcoming week, when you think you have licked your wounds and gotten over it, something reminds you of conflict.

Let your heart rule over emotions.

Things will get better.

You shine in group activities during the week ahead, but might find that one-onone situations are challenging on an emotional level.

It might be stormy now, but it can’t rain forever

Brilliant is as brilliant does. In the first half of the week, you seem to want things more - and easily use your resourceful mind to get them. In the second half of the week, however, you yield to impulse buying.

Grab the rabbit’s foot and hold on tight. There are days that you must say to yourself, “If there weren’t bad luck, you wouldn’t have any luck at all.” In the week ahead, remember to accept sound advice.

It isn’t always about business as usual. Just because your peer group does things one way doesn’t mean that it is always the only right way. In the week ahead, be sure to use inspired logic as your guide.

Those who laugh last probably didn’t get the joke. Dealing with people from a sedate or conservative background could present challenges in the week ahead. Keep in mind that not everyone is sincere.

An ounce of forgiveness is worth more than a pound of revenge.

Being sincere is perfectly acceptable, even in business situations. During the week to come, you attract romantic partners.

Contrasts are contrary.

You may walk a balance beam between honoring the old and embracing the new in the week ahead. You could want champagne on a beer budget, so restrain your impulses.

Sex appeal is 50 percent what you’ve got and 50 percent what people think you’ve got. In the week ahead, you begin attracting the right people - but by the end of the week the reverse could be true.

INSIDE: Woodridge’s Arora wins Zigfield Troy Open, page 13; Final Local Leaders and Super Seven, page 15

www.buglenewspapers.com

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Over the years, Joliet Catholic has had its share of big time pitchers, namely Mark Grant, Bill Gullickson and Kevin Cameron who all pitched successfully in the Major Leagues.

None of them, however, posted the high school season that Kevin Duchene had this year for the Hillmen.

The lefty was 8-0 on the season with a 0.13 ERA in 52 innings pitched. He allowed only 22 hits, struck out 96 batters and waled only 10.

He was named as East Suburban Catholic Conference MVP and is also the 2012 Voyager Media Player of the Year.

“If we did it 100 times over, it would never happen again,” Duchene said of his season. “It was a fun season even though it didn’t end how we wanted (JCA lost in the sectional final to Lincoln-Way West), anytime you can get 29 wins it is a great season. I didn’t feel pressure, because at the time, I just didn’t. It is really cool that it happened, but I wasn’t focusing on that.The thing I am upset I didn’t get to was the 100 strikeouts before 10 walks.

That was something I wanted to do.”

Duchene allowed only one earned run the entire season, placing him tied for fourth all time in IHSA history for lowest ERA in a season with Tom Evans of Brother Rice in 1968.

In fact, of all the pitchers above Duchene, only one pitcher (Wheaton Warrenville South’s Dan Brauer in 2001) accomplished the feat in the last 25 years.

“It is kind of cool to know if the IHSA record books are accurate online, I am (tied for the fourth) lowest ERA ever,” Duchene said. “It is cool because guys like Kai Freeman See ALL-AREA, page 12

ALL-AREA Continued from page 11 and a lot of other JCA pitchers are in those record books, so it is cool to have my name in there with them.”

Freeman posted a 0.34 ERA in 1995 and was the lowest ERA in the Joliet area, along with Lockport’s Anthony Shelby (1992, 0.37).

Both were 12th round draft picks on major league teams out of college, Freeman coming from the University of Minnesota, where he won the Big 10 Tournament in 1998.

Duchene looks to follow Freeman,as he will also compete in the Big 10, committing to the University of Illinois.

He said he visited Purdue and Illinois and had four more schools he cancelled on after coming back from Champaign.

“I had four trips after Illinois and I had to call coaches and tell them Illinois was the place for me,” Duchene said. “They have just brought in a new pitching coach, Drew Dickinson. He is a guy I would like to surround myself with for the next four years.”

Dickinson was Big Ten Conference pitcher of the year in 2001 with the Illini.

Duchene feels he can learn a lot at Illinois and while he wants to work on his velocity, he knows he is a pitcher that is successful with a good defense behind him, something he had at JCA. “I really only do 50 percent of the work,” he said. “Once the ball leaves my hand there is not much I can do about it. With the infield I had, some of those guys, I never saw them miss a ball that was hit to them.”

Duchene also knows he benefitted from the new bat rule the IHSA had this season, taking some of the fluke hits out of play.

“With the old bats, you could make good pitches and the bats had enough pop to get the ball out between the second baseman and right fielder or something,” he said. “The BBCOR bats and more true, like a wooden bat, and the only real way to get beat is to leave something over the plate that they could get the good part of the bat on.”

No matter what played to his favor, it was Duchene’s had work that kept him getting better each season.

“In my opinion Kevin was the No. 1 pitcher in the state,” JCA

coach Jared Voss said. “Only one earned run all season is pretty amazing. Kevin will continue his baseball career at U of I next season. Kevin improved every season in the program and a lot of that is because the work he put in the offseason and on his own. His baseball future is very bright at the next level.”

While he is waiting to compete for the Illini, Duchene is playing for the Illinois Sparks, where two weeks ago, he faced beat Louisville’s Kyle Funkouser 3-2. The match-up is what many fans anticipated in the sectional finals, but like JCA, Funkhouser’s Oak Park team was also upset in the opener.

“He is unbelievable,” Duchene said. “I know a lot of people were talking about how that match-up would have been and it would have been fun, but it would have been cooler if we didn’t like each other and it was a rivalry, but he is like one of my best friends.”

While Duchene didn’t have a chance to face his friend in the IHSA playoffs, he did throw an inning of scoreless relief in his final game, but he said he wasn’t too emotional about that inning.”

“I know I have a lot of baseball left and that wasn’t my final inning,” he said. “When I throw my last game, I wont be able to do an interview because I am going to be so upset. I love this game so much and as a long as I can play it, I am going to.”

The rest of the Voyager Media All Area team are:

PATRICK ALOISIO Aloisio, whom Maine South coach Bill Milano refers to as a “Greg Maddux at the high school level,” wasn’t overpowering, but he could throw five pitches for strikes and consistently got ahead of opposing hitters in the count.

Aloisio posted a 10-1 record, a 1.58 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. He’ll be pitching at nearby Oakton Community College next spring.

“He’ll do fine,” Milano said.

“He throws strikes and he mixes it up.”

DEREK BANGERT Junior catcher batted .491 with 14 doubles, for Lockport.

He added five homers and 25 RBI and was one of the top hitters in the area. with the second highest batting average.

TIM BLAKE Senior from Plainfield Central went 5-2 with a 1.99 ERA on the year.

“Tim Blake had not started a game until this year and became the Wildcats best pitcher,” Central coach John Rosner said. “He had an ERA of under two in 11 starts. He will be pitching for Kankakee Community College next year.”

JULIAN CLOUSE Senior righty from Plainfield South went 7-3 with a 1.41 ERA. C l o u s e finished the season with 64.2 innings pitched.

KYLE COLLETTA Colletta, on the varsity since his freshman year, committed only four errors in 93 total chances at second base during the season (.959 fielding percentage) while hitting .290 for Niles West. But he was even more effective on the mound, going 9-2 with a 1.48 ERA and 59 strikeouts in 66 innings.

“I feel like Kyle’s name will be at top of list of all players that have come through here,” said Wolves coach Garry Gustafson.

“He’s the best middle infielder in the entire area and has so much more to show as a senior.”

JOE CRESTA Cresta, a Notre Dame recruit, went 9-1 on the bump with a 1.12 ERA. He had 77

strikeouts for Plainfield North.

At the plate he had 34 hits, eight doubles and 22 RBI in his senior season.

CHARLIE DONOVAN

CORY EVANS

The sky seems to be the limit for the Westmont freshman, whom firstyear coach D.J. Cocks says is already a Division I prospect. Donovan, the team’s MVP, hit .440 with a .527 on-base percentage and 14 stolen bases. He also was listed among the top five players in the state for the Class of 2015 by prepbaseballreport.com/ Illinois.

Maine East went 1225 during the 2012 campaign, but it’s safe to say Evans, a fouryear varsity player, played a role in each of those triumphs, whether at shortstop or on the bump. Evans recorded six wins, had a 3.55 ERA and pitched nine complete games. Hittingwise, he batted .396 with a .479 OBP and 14 stolen bases.

Woodridge’s Arora captures Zigfield Troy Open After finishing in second place in four Zigfield Troy Opens, including three times in playoff losses,Woodridge’s Sumeet Arora finally shed the bridesmaid title at the 2012 ZTO. He did it in record fashion, tying the 9 hole and 18 hole course records set

by Josh Butterfield in the 2006 ZTO.

GOLF In the opening round Saturday on the Zigfield Troy Par 3 golf course, Arora was at 4 under par when he arrived at the 9th tee.

Before he left the tee, he had tied the 9 hole course record at 6 under par after aceing a sand wedge 86 yards into the hole tucked behind the right-hand bunker. Ironically, after a bogey on the same hole the second time around, he totaled 1 under on his back nine to tie the 18 hole course record of 47, seven under par.

Arora never lost the lead on Sunday, but was tied for a short while with Chris Daly and Rick

Grassel at 5 under with 5 holes to play.

He put the tournament away with birdies on his 15th and 16th holes, and an easy par on the difficult 8th hole, his 17th of the day. Sumeet had a three shot lead as he stood on the tee of the final hole. The 80 yarder again extracted some revenge on Sumeet as he missed the green and bogeyed, while playing partner Jason Buffone birdied, reducing his victory margin to one stroke.

It was an extra meaningful weekend for Arora for multiple reasons.

First, because he wasn’t sure he would be able to compete in the ZTO after having to quit during the US Publinx qualifying just three days earlier because of a pulled groin muscle. Second, because he was finally able to shed the bridesmaid’s label in the event he has tried to win since 2002 when he was on the Downers Grove South High School team. Third, because he won in record tying fashion. And

fourth because he was victorious over Buffone, the two-time defending ZTO champion and recent Joliet Amateur champ, who had beaten Arora for the 2010 title in a one hole playoff

and was trying to be only the second ZTO champion to claim three straight Zigfield Troy Straw Hats in the tournament’s 31 year history.

He was voted as team MVP. “I still don’t think he is a dominant pitcher,” Downers South coach Darren Orel said.

“But he dominates by being a pitcher. His fastball is only in the upper 80s, low 90s, so he is not going to just blow it by you. He tries to pitch to contact and he has more sink on his fastball this year and gets ground balls.”

Plainfield North senior s e c o n d b a s e m a n batted .380 for the 33-5 conference champs.

He added 41 hits and nine doubles to go along with a team-best 22 runs scored.

JAKE HERRON The Joliet West junior posted a 6-4 overall record with three saves, but was 5-0 in the S o u t h We s t Suburban Conference Blue Division. He posted a 0.79 ERA, striking out 99 batters and walking 13.

JOSH JIMENEZ Ace of the Minooka staff, the senior lefty was 11-3 with a 1.71 ERA, in 86 innings. He posted 115 strikeouts and only 23 walks.

KEENAN KELLY A spot starter his junior year, Kelly worked hard during the off-season and earned the starting nod at third base as a senior for Maine South. He was one of the Hawks’ top clutch hitters and RBI men.

“He just makes all the plays,”

CONNOR KOPACH Batted .377 with 43 hits, 26 runs and 22 RBI for D o w n e r s North.

“Connor Kopach had a great junior year,” Isaacson said. “Connor hit in the two hole all year for us and was our most consistent hitter the entire season. Connor was a major run producer for us by either getting on base, moving runners over or getting them in. Conner found a way to get the job done. That is a credit to him for all the work he has put in at the plate. Defensively Connor was outstanding. He has great hands, range, and a strong arm.All variables you look for in a shortstop. There were games that defensively Connor took hits away to help us win ballgames and that is what you look for in your shortstop.”

AUSTIN MASTELA Lockport s e n i o r outfielder had a strong second half of the year. He finished the season with a .363 average, 13 doubles, three homers and 34 RBI. During an 18-game stretch late in the season he batted nearly .600 with 32 hits, 11 doubles,

two triples, three homers and 29 RBI.

BRENDAN MILLER Junior went 11-0 on the mound with a .85 ERA for Plainfield North.

He earned the win in every one of his starts and finished with 74 strikeouts to just 11 walks.

CARSON NEUSCHWANDER S e n i o r outfielder led Minooka with a .360 batting a v e r a g e .

He had five doubles, four triples, three home runs and 25 RBI while scoring 21 runs.

KYLE RICHARDSON The Notre Dame-bound Richardson was one of Maine South’s l e a d e r s in batting average, home runs and RBIs. He also was one of the top students in his graduating class this spring (4.47 GPA and a 33 on his ACT).

“He’s a good fit for them (Notre Dame),” said Milano. “He plays a great center field, runs the bases well and he’s everything you look for in a high school player.

He has all the tools.”

KEVIN ROSS R o s s ’ exceptional abilities had majorleague scouts showing up in droves at Niles West games throughout the season. Ross, drafted in the eighth round by the Pittsburgh Pirates, hit .427 with 20 RBIs despite playing the last five games of his prep career with his left thumb broken in two places. If he doesn’t sign with the Pirates, he’ll be at Michigan next spring.

“He played at high level all

year and turned a lot of heads,” said Gustafson. “He has a bright future ahead of him and nothing but great things will come his way.”

NATE SEARING Batted .342 with 38 RBI and 42 hits for JCA. On the mound the senior was 5-1 with a 2.33 ERA and 40 strikeouts.

“Nate was a bulldog on the mound and at the plate for us the last two years,” Voss said. “Plays every game full tilt and his tenacity will be missed next season. Earned 2012 ESCC all conference honors. Nate was enjoyable to watch play the game because he played it with his heart on his sleeve.”

JOE SPARACIO Plainfield Central senior totaled 48 hits, batted .436 with 43 RBI, 31 runs and 19 doubles.

“Joe Sparacio hit .436 and leaves Plainfield Central as one of it its greatest hitters,” Central coach John Rosner said. “All season long he has hit in the three spot and produced with both average and power.

He will continue his career at Lewis University next year.”

CHRIS TSCHIDA The junior shortstop led Joliet Catholic with a .495 batting average, 52 hits, 10 doubles, seven triples and three homers.

Scored 37 runs and drove home 33 runs.

“It was his second year as varsity starter,” Voss stated. “In a year where the bats affected a lot of hitters,they didn’t faze Chris. Next season he will be a top hitter and player in the area going into the spring season. Great leader on the field and continues to develop an excellent knowledge of the game.”

TOM VACHON Batted .417 with 46 hits,28 runs,

14 doubles and 26 RBI for Plainfield East.

“Tom has been a three year starter on the varsity for us,” East coach Adam O’Reel said. “He finished strong having his best hitting season of his career. He led our team in batting average, RBI, hits and on base percentage. Tom also was a midweek conference pitcher for us during that time. Tom had a great career for us and will be missed.”

STEVE WALDROP The Bolingbrook junior was 7-3 with a 1.83 ERA. He struck out 73 batters and walked 24 on the season. Waldrop held Naperville North at bay in the regional opener giving the Raiders their first playoff win in recent history.

“He was a good pitcher for us all season,” said Bolingbrook coach Chris Malinowski. “He always gave us a chance to win.”

Mercer, Wisconsin is a Northwoods Treasure

By Dan Stefanich

There’s something special about Northwoods. The heavy scent of pine in the air. Bald eagles everywhere. The wailing call of the loons. It’s been a while since I had the opportunity to fish up North. But a recent trip to Mercer, Wisconsin brought back a flood of memories, and a chance to create new ones.

Located at the northernmost part of Wisconsin, Mercer is just miles from the Michigan border, or about 5 hours from Chicago.

I was filming an episode of Illinois Outdoors TV with my buddy Don Dziedzina, so we had to squeeze a lot into 3 short days. As we pulled into town, we were greeted by a giant loon sculpture, fitting for the Loon Capital of the World.

Over three days we fished several lakes. But the largest body of water was the famed Turtle-Flambeau Flowage. There was plenty of rock structure typical of the northern lakes, but this body of water was loaded with lots of downed timber, which provides great hiding places for the fish. Our method of fishing was working small jigs tipped with a half a night crawler through the logs and timber. Using this technique, we caught a variety of fish including smallmouth bass, walleye, rock bass and bluegills. Of course there’s a price to pay when fishing underwater timber- as I donated plenty of jigs to the Flowage. “If you’re not getting snags, you’re not where the fish are,” explained Jerry Hartigan of Jerkbait Guides Services. We boated some giant smallmouth

in the 4-plus pound range. I was intrigued by how dark their colors were, almost black, due to the tannin in the water from the trees. Our timing was not ideal as we arrived just after the mayfly hatch, so the fish had been gorging themselves on the mayfly larvae hatching from the lake bottoms. The temperature was in the upper 80’s, which also slowed the bite. Despite the challenging conditions we still caught fish thanks to the help of some of the best guides in Northern Wisconsin including Hartigan, Mike “Doc” Sabec, John Andrew, Jeff Robl, and Erv Keller. The walleye had lockjaw as well, but we still caught our limit and brought some home for the frying pan.

Now I have never fished for muskies before, but know it requires a LOT of casting with giant lures, and that catching a musky is kind of like winning the lottery. Well, our guide Bobby Orr made it looks easy.

In just 3 hours, we had one musky in the boat, 2 hooked up and about 5 more that followed our lures to the boat. I had a 40-incher hooked up…for about ten seconds. After grabbing my spinnerbait, he exploded out of the water about 15 feet from the boat, shaking his tooth-filled head, then in a giant “woosh” he cut the line and waved goodbye.

Now I know why musky fishing can be so addicting— what a rush!

Catching fish in the Northwoods makes you hungry, and the locals went above and beyond to make sure we had our fill. We enjoyed a lakeside campfire breakfast at the Pine

Mercer, WI is truly the Loon Capital of the World offering plenty of exciting opportunities for wildlife photographers, outdoor enthusiasts and or course, fishermen.

Forest Lodge, a BBQ cookout with salmon and ribs courtesy of the McNutt Group, and a scrumptious walleye shore lunch at The Gateway Lodge.

Mercer is also a great place for the entire family. Every facility we visited was family-friendly.

And the Wampum Shop is a must-visit for the kids, or if you need to bring gifts back for the rest of the family.The locals were some of the friendliest folks I’ve met, and they treated us like family. Mercer is also a winter hotspot with some outstanding

snowmobiles trails and ice fishing. If you are interested in setting up a trip, contact the Mercer Chamber of Commerce at www.mercercc.com. For more photos and resources for this fantastic destination, visit DanStefOutdoors.com.

Going local: It’s easier than you think I’m not naturally a wild-andcrazy kind of guy. But when I’m shy and quiet, things don’t happen, and that’s a bad rut to travel in. The meek may inherit the earth, but they won’t enjoy it.

When you’re traveling in Europe, make yourself an extrovert, even if you’re not.

Be a catalyst for adventure and excitement - and don’t be intimidated. Generally speaking, Europeans enjoy getting to know Americans - all it takes to connect is a friendly smile and genuine curiosity. Here are a few tricks I use to connect with the locals: Be open to encounters as you visit a city. At most major sights, you’ll meet more people in an hour than you would at home in a day. Cameras are good icebreakers; offer to take someone’s picture or ask a local to take a picture of you. If you are lonely and in need of human contact, take out a map and look lost. You’ll get help. Perceive friendliness and you’ll find it.

Take a class at a cooking school. These give you not just a taste of the culinary traditions of the area you’re visiting, but also a hands-on feel for what happens in European kitchens - along with a skill you can take home. Many include a trip to local markets. You can find oneday European cooking classes at the International Kitchen (www. theinternationalkitchen.com).

Across Europe, some large cities and even small towns (such as Germany’s Rothenburg) have informal English-language conversation clubs, usually meeting weekly or monthly in a public space (search online or ask at the tourist information office). You may well be the only native speaker there - if so, expect

an especially w a r m welcome.

S e v e r a l European cities have Englishspeaking volunteer greeters who belong to the Global Greeter Network (www. globalgreeternetwork.com).

Greeters are screened extensively, but aren’t trained as historical experts. Instead, they introduce visitors to their city by spending a few hours sharing their insider knowledge - their favorite hidden spots, how to navigate public transit, where to find the best bargains, etc.

A few bigger cities have more formal programs that put travelers in direct touch with locals. In Dublin, the City of a Thousand Welcomes brings volunteers and first-time visitors together for a cup of tea or a pint (free, www.cityofathousandwelcomes. com). In Paris, the group Meeting the French organizes dinners in private homes and workplace tours to match your interests or career (fee, www. meetingthefrench.com). Visitors to Copenhagen can enjoy a home-cooked meal with a family through Dine with the Danes (fee, www.dinewiththedanes. dk). With Helsinki’s Meet the Finns program, you can match your hobbies with a local - and suddenly, you’re searching for Marimekko tea towels with your new Finnish friend (fee, www. cosyfinland.com).

If you’re a techie, try meeting up with locals through social media. Like-minded individuals can find one another on www. meetup.com, whose worldwide

Asking someone to take your picture could be the beginning of a transatlantic friendship.

members welcome visitors to wide-ranging events such as photography walks, happy hours, and weekend skiing. Twigmore, a Facebook travel app (www. twigmore.com), connects vacationers and residents through mutual “friends” - just type in your destination, and Twigmore will tell you if a friend of one of your Facebook buddies lives in the city. CouchSurfing is known for its sleep-for-free network, but it also lists “day hosts” who are happy to just meet up with likeminded visitors and swap travel stories (www.couchsurfing. com). Also consider joining a hospitality-exchange network, such as Servas (www.servas.org).

And there’s the old-fashioned, face-to-face option of meeting people during their everyday

routines. Take your laundry and a deck of cards to a launderette and turn solitaire into gin rummy.

You’ll end up with a stack of clean clothes and interesting conversations.

You’re always welcome at a church service; stay for the coffee hour. Or get caught up in a sporting event. Whether enjoying soccer in small-town Italy or hurling in Ireland, you’ll be surrounded by a stadium crammed with devout fans.

Buying something to wear or wave with the hometown colors helps me remember whose side I’m on.

Play with kids. Thumb wrestle.

Learn how to say “pretty baby” in the native language. If you play peek-a-boo with a baby or fold an origami bird for a kid, you’ll make

friends with the parents as well as the child. If you are shy about connecting with families, pal up to a pooch - you will often find they are happy to introduce you to their owners.

Connecting with people carbonates your travels. When I read over my past trip journals, I’m always impressed by how often the best experiences were meeting people; these are the kind of souvenirs you’ll enjoy for a lifetime.

Business & Real Estate

Should he stay or should he go?

Dear Dave, My son has worked and saved all through school and will be graduating this year with a degree in electrical engineering. He has a job waiting for him when he finishes, and he wants to move out on his own then. I think he should continue to live at home and save up more money.

What do you think?

Sue

Dear Sue, H o n e s t l y, I think he should move out.

This situation isn’t about money as much as it’s about your son becoming a man. At this point in his life it’s going to be really

good for him, emotionally and spiritually, to stand on his own two feet.

It sounds like you’ve got some good ideas about saving and financial responsibility, and he needs to take some of Mom’s advice in those areas. But it’s time he had his own place and started paying his own bills. It’s time for this one to leave the nest, spread his wings, and fly.

Here’s something else to

think about. He’s going to look a whole lot better to the world if he’s out there standing on his own. I think lots of young ladies, not to mention their parents, will be much more impressed by a guy who’s making his own way rather than living at home with mom.

He’s at a point where he’s reaching for dignity and trying to make his way in the world.

Let him do it. I’ve got a feeling

he’ll make you proud!

Body language can make or break career Q. How do I understand nonverbal communication at work? I’ve read books on body language, but I am still pretty confused. Are there any easy guidelines to help interpret what body language means?

A. Western culture mostly associates the physical body with sex. When I teach nonverbal communication, people often squirm and giggle because bringing up the fact they have bodies makes them embarrassed.

However,the body is a powerful communication channel that is mostly ignored or barely noticed at work. Even though studies find body language carries 55 percent of the meaning during communication.

Being able to understand

body language is more complicated than getting a guide that says if your boss scratches his nose, he’s lying.

Most body language is unique to the person using it.

Pay attention to what your body and others’ bodies do when you’re in boring situations (e.g., meetings). Experiment with imitating different postures or gestures you see people use.

How do you feel when you pound your fist, drape your arms over the chair, or sit with legs and arms crossed. Notice your feelings when you use assume

positions and you’ll have better information about what’s going on for others.

Make sure you’re breathing deeply when you’re trying to notice nonverbal behavior. If you’re having an out-of-body experience rather than being in your body, it will be tough to observe anyone else’s.

If you see a coworker make a gesture repeatedly, try asking them what it means when they look at their watch, tap their foot or lean away. After a while, you will get a working physical vocabulary of the people around you.

One critical aspect of body language is that it often reveals much more than people want to about their real agendas.

Moreover, people will even tell

you information they themselves don’t fully grasp or want to admit. For instance, I had a client who pounded his fists whenever he talked about his boss. I asked him why he was so mad at his boss, and he looked surprised.

He hadn’t thought about his fury until I pointed out his fists.

If you ever find a person’s nonverbal and verbal communication to be in conflict, always believe the body. Very few people can control their body language. What you hear when the body talks may even save your career one day!

The last word(s) Q. I just got a new job and now have another offer double my current salary.

Would it be wrong to take the job?

A. No. Ask yourself if your company would consider it wrong to let you go if it were in their best interests? Then take the job.
