Bellock, Sandack named to House Republican leadership team

STORY BY JONATHAN SAMPLES | STAFF REPORTER

ouse Republican Leader Jim Durkin’s leadership team will officially begin serving in their new roles Nov. 1, and that team includes a couple local law makers.

State Rep. Patti Bellock, R-Westmont, and state Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, have both been appointed to Durkin’s leadership team, which consists of 10 total members. House Republicans in August chose Durkin, R-Western Springs, to take over the top GOP position in the Illinois House of Representatives after former leader Tom Cross, R-Oswego, stepped down. See HOUSE LEADERSHIP, page 4

P o l i c e Chief James Kosatka has been with the Lisle Police Department for 34 years, and next month he SUBMITTED PHOTO will bid farewell to James Kosatka the place he has come to call home. “Believe it or not, I still enjoy the job,” Kosatka said. “I guess just I feel that I’ve done everything I’ve wanted to do in policing.” Kosatka started his career in law enforcement in 1979 when he was hired as a patrol officer in Lisle. He was promoted to patrol sergeant in 1997 and served as detective sergeant from 1998 to 2001. In March of the following year, he was promoted to deputy chief, where he served until 2011.

RETIREMENT Continued from page 1 January 2011. “Chief Kosatka has dedicated decades of his life to serving and protecting the Lisle community,” Lisle Mayor Joe Broda said. “He generated trust in those whose lives he touched, while always striving to be innovative and improve service to the community. That is a hard act to follow, and Jim will be truly missed.” Kosatka assumed responsibility for the police department during a period

of tough economic times, according to a village press release. He implemented a number of cost savings initiatives, including reducing department overtime and the number of fleet vehicles. He also managed the transfer of 9-1-1 dispatch services to DuComm, (DuPage Public Safety Communications), which generated significant savings with no reduction in service levels. Kosatka also increased the role of the community service officers to more effectively utilize patrol officers for true emergency calls. A search for Chief Kosatka’s replacement will begin shortly.

HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

here will be plenty of ghosts and ghouls out this Halloween, but that doesn’t mean the holiday has to be a scary time. By following a few simple tips, you can be sure you and your little monsters will be safe and healthy during the upcoming fall holiday.

Trick-or-treating is the best part of Halloween, but its important to keep safety in mind. “We want to make sure that everyone has a safe and happy Halloween,” Westmont Police Chief Tom Mulhearn said. Hours for trick-or-treating vary from village to village, but a general rule is that children should avoid staying out after the sun goes down. The Westmont Police Department recommends

children trick-or-treat between 2 and 7 p.m., Woodridge recommends trick-or-treating between 3:30 and 7 p.m., and Lisle recommends 3 to 8 p.m. The village of Downers Grove does not have set hours, but recommends that children trick-or-treat during daytime hours. Westmont police also See HALLOWEEN SAFETY, page 4

The numbers are in from last month’s Recycling Extravaganza, and the village of Downers Grove and Park District were able to collect 92,000 pounds of electronics, building materials and other recyclables. Over one thousand residents disposed items that would have otherwise gone to area landfills during the five-hour event, which occurred on Sept. 28. “The Village and Park District would like to thank all the volunteers, residents and sponsors who helped out at this year’s event,” Downers Grove Communications Director Doug Kozlowski said.

their recycling or safe disposal. Approximately 14,000 pounds of carpeting were collected and melted down for plastic by Go Green Recycling; Cutting Edge shredded and converted 7,980 pounds of paper into pulp; Scarce recycled 895 pounds of ink cartridges and 189 pounds of cell phones;The Lions Club collected 140 pounds of glass; and Creative Recycling collected 59,038 pounds of electronics. Goodwill also collected 3,940 pounds of textiles furniture and appliances, while Habitat for Humanity gathered 2,000 pounds of building materials and tools during the event. “We’d like to thank the students and faculty of WDGC, 88.3 FM, the student radio station operated by District 99, for broadcasting live from the event,” Kozlowski added. “Their presence added a new level of excitement that was really appreciated by volunteers and participants alike.”

HALLOWEEN SAFETY Continued from page 2 stress trick-or-treaters wear reflective clothing, be sure masks and costumes do not impair vision or mobility, look before crossing streets, travel in groups, and have parents check candy. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention also offers some valuable tips for safe trick-or-treating.Children should not trick-or-treat alone and should either go out in groups or with a trusted adult. The CDC also advises trick-or-treaters to examine all candy for tampering, walk only on sidewalks and avoid walking in streets, never enter the homes of strangers, and avoid houses that aren’t well lit. Also, keep in mind that there are a lot of people out looking for treats, so walk from house to house to avoid injury. Drivers should also be alert while driving on Halloween. This year the holiday falls on a Thursday, so that means many people will be out trick-or-treating during the evening rush hour. Safe Kids Worldwide recommends drivers should drive slowly in residential areas, take extra time at intersections, turn their headlights on earlier in the day, and eliminate distractions in their cars such as the radio. “We also urge motorists to drive safe and be mindful of all the pedestrians on Halloween,” Mulhearn said. In addition to trick-ortreating safety, it is also important to stay healthy during Halloween. All that easily accessible candy can wreak havoc to the waistlines of the most disciplined dieters among us. But there are ways to calm your sweet tooth, and stay fit and healthy in the process. The CDC recommends providing low-calorie treats for trick-or-treaters. If you plan on having party guests, try offering a variety of fruits, nuts, vegetables and cheeses. You can also use party games and the time spent trick-ortreating as opportunities to make sure your kids get physical activity during the holiday.

Regional agency OKs Illiana By Nick Reiher Managing Editor Alex V. Hernandez Staff Reporter

A regional planning committee voted 11-8 to include the Illiana Tollway project on a regional list of transportation projects eligible for federal funding. The Oct. 17 vote by the Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Policy Committee means the project, a 47-mile path from Interstate 55 near Wilmington in Will County to Interstate 65 in Porter County, Ind., could break ground as early as 2015. “I applaud the members (of the planning committee) for making the Illiana a priority,” said Gov. Pat Quinn in a statement after the vote.“This regional highway will not only serve the largest and fastest growing areas in Illinois, it will have a long-term economic impact of more than $4 billion in the region.” Thirty-eight people, some of them elected officials, signed up to comment before the vote in the standing room-only meeting that began at 3 p.m. and concluded just before 6 p.m. at Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning’s Willis Tower headquarters. In addition to public comments, the MPO committee members also weighed in with why they were for or against the Illiana before the vote. “(Will County is) the largest inland port in North America ... and we have only just begun to grow,” said Will County Executive Larry Walsh, urging his fellow MPO members to vote for the project. He was referring to two railtruck intermodals in Elwood and Joliet already receiving goods from around the world, and shipping, including a lot of grain from Illinois and eastern Iowa, around the world. A third is under construction near Wilmington. “Saying it’s too far away is not a reason to stop it,” said Walsh. “We don’t consider this portion of Will County to be nowhere.” Walsh was referring to comments made

HOUSE LEADERSHIP Continued from page 1 Bellock and state Rep. David Leitch will serve as Durkin’s deputy leaders. In a press release, Durkin said he chose Bellock because of her work on Medicaid reform and the experience she gained in her previous post as the first female deputy leader for the House Republican Caucus. “Patti Bellock is an extraordinary leader and a tireless advocate for Illinois families; particularly on health care, disability and budget issues,” Durkin said. “Patti’s vision

by CMAP Board Chairman Gerald Bennett, before that board voted 10 to 4 Oct. 9 against the Illiana project. Bennett, Palos Hills mayor, called the Illiana Tollway project a “political plan” and said the project would be a “highway to nowhere land.” Later in that meeting he apologized for his comments, which included calling Will County “a wasteland.” After the MPO voted to move forward with the Illiana project, Bennett released a statement saying the process was difficult for everyone concerned and blamed political tensions for straining the regional coalition of the CMAP Board and MPO Policy Committee. “We must work to renew the spirit of regional cooperation that led to the development, adoption, and implementation of GO TO 2040,” said Bennett. However, Will County and south Cook officials said his comments seemed to back up the feeling they have gotten since agency was created that CMAP does not take their area seriously in Chicago-area planning. This came to a head when the Illiana project led to conflict-ridden votes among some members of the CMAP Board from Chicago and the north suburbs, and those from the South Cook and Will County areas. Specifically CMAP members

and unparalleled work ethic will be a tremendous asset to our leadership team.” This appointment also is a historic for Bellock, who will become the first woman to serve as Deputy House Republican Leader in Illinois. “I am honored to embrace this opportunity to help lead our caucus and our state with a clear focus on the need to restore confidence in Illinois’ future,” Bellock said.“To do this, we must bring stability to state finances to ease the burden on working families, allow for robust privatesector job creation and complete the cost-saving Medicaid reforms we have worked together to achieve.”

who already had projects on the funded list were concerned adding the Illiana would mean one of their projects would have to be removed from that list.Those critics also felt that the cost of the project would disproportionately fall on public funds. “The fact of the matter is that this is a major financial risk,” said Elliot Hartstein, a CMAP board member who also sits on the MPO Policy Committee. He felt that the project was attractive but wasn’t financially healthy for the economically struggling state, comparing it to an eating an unhealthy frozen treat. “We all like ice cream, but should we maybe have frozen yogurt instead?” said Hartstein. “That’s what this project is…it isn’t good for us.” However proponents say the fact that the Illiana would be a public-private partnership, and not go forward unless a suitable and viable partner comes forward, minimizes its financial risk. Officials from Illinois and Indiana have been working on the project for more than two years, forming an Illiana Corridor commission. After months of studies and input from officials and

Sandack will serve as House Republican caucus’ floor leader. Durkin said that he chose Sandack because of his knowledge of important issues facing the House in the upcoming year. “As a Floor Leader, Rep. Sandack will help lead our caucus in floor debates and negotiations during veto session and during the spring session which runs from January through May,” Durkin stated. Sandack was the mayor of Downers Grove from 2007 to 2011 before being appointed to finish the term of state Sen. Dan Cronin in November 2010. He served in the Illinois Senate until he was sworn in to the Illinois House in January. “I’m looking forward to leading

Downers Grove teacher gets active life back after hip replacement

Submitted Photo

Westmont resident, college hockey star back on ice after arthroscopy surgery When Plymouth State University hockey player Michael Freitag, 22, of Westmont, tore the labrum of his left hip during a workout, his future in a sport he had been playing competitively since age five was suddenly uncertain. “I thought it was a bad pull at first,” he said, “but two weeks after I started having the pain in my hip, my knee was locking up in my sleep. Being an athlete all my life and knowing my body, I knew that something was wrong.” Following his instincts, Freitag sought an MRI. The scan revealed a 60 percent tear in the labrum of his left hip, a much more serious injury than the hip flexor pull he had originally anticipated. Freitag’s younger brother,a high school wrestler, had previously seen Dr. Brian Cole of Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush for an ACL reconstruction, so the Freitag family was already accustomed to the first-rate care from the specialists at MOR. When the family consulted Cole for a recommendation for Michael, he recommended colleague Dr. Shane Nho. A former college hockey player himself, Nho was specifically well suited to take care of Freitag’s problem. “He was very conscientious of the fact that

More than a half million adults each year are sidelined by chronic hip pain and are forced to change their lifestyle to accommodate their discomfort. Gail Pistello, 52, a popular physical education teacher and coach at Herrick Middle School in Downers Grove for more than 30 years, was one of those people. When hip pain sidelined her from doing the things she loved (biking, running, hiking and golfing) and caused her to become depressed, sleepless and overweight for the first time in her life, she knew she had to do something. She met Dr. Scott Sporer, a hip specialist at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush. This group performs more hip and knee procedures than any other group in Illinois. Sporer recommended a total hip replacement in order to get Pistello back to playing, teaching, coaching and living as soon as possible. And, back to life she is. She said the procedure, while a scary thought at first, got her back to ‘being herself.’ Today, she does

everything she did before her pain started, except running. Sporer and his partners are offering information on hip pain options to west suburban residents during “Hip Pain: Solutions for Active Adults,” an open-to-the public seminar later this month. Pistello also will be there to answer questions. Hip Pain: Solutions for Active Adults will be held at 7 p.m. at the Bolingbrook Golf Club, 2001 Rodeo Drive. To RSVP, call 630432-2506. or send an email to ann@pscommunicationsinc.com. Space is limited. Anyone with hip pain is invited to attend this free program featuring MOR orthopedic physicians, some of the nation’s top orthopedic specialists. They will discuss hip pain treatment options, including physical therapy, arthroscopy, total hip replacement (anterior and posterior approaches) and hip revision surgery -- all options for adults looking to maintain or regain a pain-free, active and fulfilling life.

“HE WAS VERY CONSCIENTIOUS OF THE FACT THAT I WAS A COLLEGE HOCKEY PLAYER.” - MICHAEL FREITAG, WESTMONT RESIDENT

I was a college hockey player,” Freitag said. “He gave me the option to have the surgery after the season so I didn’t have to miss any games.” In March of 2013, after Freitag’s hockey season was over, Nho performed hip arthroscopy surgery. Just recently available for use on hips, this unique procedure allowed the surgeon to see the damage to the hip and repair it in one procedure. Through a very small incision, Nho inserted a small camera and instruments to place three anchors in his hip to repair his labrum. He also shaved down a portion of his pelvis that was squared off, causing impingement. After the procedure, Freitag was released the same day to the comfort of his own home.

Horoscopes You may need to change to gain. You may have some brilliant ideas in the week ahead, or have the opportunity to speak to those with a broader perspective. With the benefit of some fresh insights, you can adapt easily to ongoing changes.

Go back to basics. It isn’t necessary to add a flourish to everything you do. Overly-ambitious friends could cause a few upsets, or you may face unexpected challenges when working towards attaining your goals in the week to come.

You might mix metaphors, but you won’t miss the boat. You know how to explain things to others by using universal examples, so your opinions will be respected this week. People hear you loud and clear.

Roll your own. You must depend upon other people for some things, but when they become unpredictable it’s time to make your own decisions. Use good judgment in the week ahead.

Harmony and tranquillity can be yours if you take steps to prepare intelligently. The road may be paved with bumps in the week ahead, but if you have good tires and shock absorbers you won’t notice them.

Make a promise that the past will have no power over you. You’re wiser than usual in the week ahead, especially when dealing with close relationships. Take time to mend fences while the time is ripe.

Mixing business with pleasure is risky business. This week, the risk of something going wrong is in direct proportion to the number of people who are involved. Focus on developing leadership skills.

Play patty-cake with problems and put them in a pan. You’ll have the opportunity to gain cooperation from others in the upcoming week, and more than one chance to make necessary improvements.

The Lone Ranger had Tonto, after all, so he wasn’t all that lonely. In the week ahead, you might be attracted to group activities to augment your social life. These may distract you from what’s important.

You prefer to act upon instincts but sometimes feel you can’t do this if you must explain your actions to someone else. This week, you can have the best of both worlds as communication flows effortlessly.

Whims gone wild could describe your attitude in the coming week. You may demonstrate good taste, but could also spend money that’s budgeted for something else. Seek advice before you go overboard.

Beauty is more than skin deep. By mid-week, you get in tune with what’s really crucial to your happiness. This might be a good time to begin a new health regimen or get in touch with your spiritual side.

Redwings gear up for run at three-peat By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

When the volleyball seeds were released by the IHSA last week, several teams that had maybe been flying under the radar all season earned a target on their back when they drew a top seed in the playoffs. And, while Benet was one of those teams to earn a top seed in the Class 4A sectional, having a target is nothing new. The Redwings are a perennial state powerhouse and are backto-back defending Class 4A state champions, making them a target at all times. Benet coach Brad Baker is quick to point out, however, that Benet is not the top-ranked team in the state and that it has some work to do to get there. “According to everyone, we are not the best team in the state right now and we need to get better so we have a chance to be the best team in the state at the end of the year,” he said. “We need to improve and have that championship level attitude. If we do that and work hard, hopefully we have a chance.” In the most recent rankings, Benet is ranked third, the second highest ranked Class 4A school behind top-ranked Mother McCauley. Class 3A defending champion Wheaton St. Francis is second. As the brackets are set, Benet and McCauley would not meet in the state playoffs until the championship match. Benet opens its title defense at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 29 at the Plainfield East Regional when it meets the winner of the Oct. 28 play-in game between No. 15 Plainfield East and No. 17 Joliet West. A win that night would give the Redwings a Halloween

night regional final match-up against the winner of No. 8 Lockport and No. 9 Naperville Central. The Redwings are hoping to have Boston College-bound senior middle hitter Brittany Pavich back to full strength. She has missed time all year with a shoulder injury. “She is getting better and better and the more she plays the better she is getting,” Baker said. “Our goal is to peak at the end of the year, so she has a few more weeks to get there.” In her absence, Rachael Fara has been solid in the middle, giving Benet a dominant onetwo punch when both are healthy. “We have been lucky to have two good middles that work hard and are extremely effective at hitting multiple shots, which makes them hard to defend,” Baker said. Not only can the Redwings hit, they take pride in their defense, which is paced by senior Wake Forest commit Caroline Wolf. “They have a championship level mentality on defense,” Baker said. “Caroline Wolf is the libero and we expect her to be the leader of that attitude. If the ball doesn’t hit the floor, it is hard for a team to score. We may not outhit you every night, but we will out defend you and make you keep swinging. Pull the old Ali on you and rope-adope you until you get tired of swinging.” “We just want to win,” Wolf said. “We know that those balls can lead to championship points and we need to get every ball up so we can score. We have had great teams here (the last two years), but we want to make our own memories.” •Both Downers Grove North Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Benet’s Tzakis sisters qualify for state By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

The name Tzakis will be found quite often throughout the seedings and pairings lists at this weekend’s girls state tennis meet, which get under way Thursday at Buffalo Grove High School. Senior Leah Tzakis and her younger sister, Coco, a sophomore, earned trips to the tourney by placing second and third, respectively, at last weekend’s Naperville North sectional. Benet tied for second in the team standings with Neuqua Valley (21 points each), while Naperville Central (32) took the team crown. The only player who stood in the way of Leah and Coco perhaps playing each other in the sectional title match was Tiffany Chen of Naperville

Central. Chen, who finished fourth at state last season, defeated Coco 6-0, 6-0 in the semifinals, and also topped Leah, 6-1, 6-3 for the championship. Leah, meanwhile, took care of Anusha Pai of Neuqua Valley in her semifinal match, 6-0, 6-2 for the chance to play Chen in the finals. Coco was a 6-0, 6-4 winner over Pai for third place. “They’ve both worked real hard; it’s been a good season for both of them,” Benet coach Michael Hand said. “Leah kind of expected it, especially qualifying (before). She’s playing at a very high level. She really picked up her game last weekend at conference and she’s been playing well towards the end of the season. “With Coco, it’s just a matter of her understanding what she See TZAKIS, page 14

Benet golfers finish fifth in state By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

The depth on Benet’s boys golf team this season is such that the No. 1 through No. 6 golfer can carry the team on any given day. Senior Matt Rogers, for example, was penciled in at No. 6 during regionals, yet he ended up placing 14th individually at last weekend’s Class 3A state tournament in Bloomington. His 2-under-par 70 on Friday, combined with an 80 during Saturday’s final round, helped catapult the Redwings to their best-ever team finish at state. The Redwings captured fifth with a two-day total of 619, just three strokes behind state runner-up New Trier. Hinsdale Central took the title by shooting a 603. “Something just clicked and we got hot at the same time,” Rogers said. “It’s awesome— something that I’m always going to remember, that’s for sure.” As for his performance, Rogers said,“The first day everything was going well. I was hitting fairways, hitting greens and making putts.” Sophmore Alex Bassetto finished with a two-day 154 (76 on Friday, 78 on Saturday), while seniors JJ VanEekeren (82-80) and Frank Ferconio (83-79) each had 162s. Juniors George Carroll (87-76) and Ben Johnson (78-89) carded a 163 and 167,respectively. The Redwings were third teamwise after Friday’s first round. “I was really proud of how they played,” Benet coach Dan Nagis said.“We won conference and we won regional this year, something we’ve never done at the same time. I think they’re very mature kids, very focused kids, and they’ve been a joy to coach.” •Downers South sophomore Trent Caraher and senior Jack Korzon completed their final rounds with respective scores of 79 and 83. Caraher finished in a nine-way tie for 31st with a 156, while Korzon was in a six-way tie for 64th with a 163. •Benet freshman Isabella Abdullah carded a two-day totay of 162 to place 40th in the state in the girls golf tournament.

TENNIS The fact that the Downers Grove South girls tennis team has only three seniors on the roster would look to some as a rebuilding year. And while it was in some capacity, the Mustangs managed a successful conference run and thanks to the doubles team of junior Tiffany Bui and sophomore Janine Urgello, South continued its’ 10-year-run of having at least one qualifier for the state

tournament. The tandem placed fourth at the Downers Grove South Sectional. After defeating Glenbard East 6-1, 6-1 in the opening round, the Mustang duo beat the Glenbard South team of Jennifer Lipa and Natalie O’Dowd 7-6 (7-4), 6-4 after being down 5-0 in the first set. “We just clicked (when we were down) and just went from there,” Bui said.“I am so excited.The last two years I tried to qualify and I didn’t so making it this year was great. I am ecstatic.” “We just stayed positive,” Urgello said. “Even when we made mistakes, we just picked See FIFTH, page 15

Part of that was making sure her game was where she needed it to be and where she wanted it to be.” This marks the third time at state for Leah over the past four years, while Coco will be competing in her first state tournament. “I’m so happy for her and so excited to be there with her,” Leah said. “I think this year it really takes a lot of the pressure off (for me) because I know what to expect so I’m not as nervous as I have been the past couple of years. Knowing that, my main goal is to just continue my momentum and get results.” “I’m really happy,” Coco added. “I didn’t get to go to state last year; I was a little upset about that. It feels so much better this year. I worked hard and got to state.” Hand emphasized to Coco that there are positives one can take despite losing to a player the caliber of Chen—one of the favorites to win this year’s state singles title. “The things we kept telling her was, ‘Feel good about the game. Feel good about how you are playing.’ ” Hand said. “She played well. At this level with those types of players, you’re going to see those types of players at the state tournament, too, so you have to keep your focus and you’ll break through.” Leah won four state matches last year at state and moved into

the fifth round of consolation, which earned her honorable mention all-state. She, of course, would like to do even better in her final state go-around. “Right now I think I’m playing pretty well,” she said. “One thing that I’ve really been working on is my serve, and I think that’s really going to be strong for me going into the state tournament. I’ve just been playing a lot of tennis so I feel like my consistency is pretty good right now.” Hand said a top 16 finish for Leah is a very realistic goal. “She’s playing well, and I hope we can keep that up through Thursday, Friday and Saturday,” said Hand, who took over for longtime girls coach Bob Comerford this season. “I think a great goal for her would be to try to play on Saturday.” The only letdown for Benet last weekend, if you could call it that, was not getting a doubles team through to state. The Redwings had qualified two doubles squads each of the past four years. Junior Sarah Callahan and freshman Katie Telford made it to the qualifying match, but lost to a team from Neuqua Valley. “It was a hard year,” Hand said. “We lost three of our top eight players at certain points of the season, and those three players were doubles players. That makes a little bit of a difference, but the girls that ended up playing played hard and worked their butts off. “We did lose those three kids, but we still ended up winning conference. The people that stepped in stepped up. That’s all you can ask for.” mike@buglenewspapers.com

We kept telling each other to not worry about the scores, just to have fun.” Like Bui, Urgello is also a first time state-qualifier, but for her it comes on her first year on the varsity roster. “This is really exciting going as a sophomore,” she said. “I am going to get the experience and not really worry about what (place) we are getting. I just love playing tennis and I love playing with my partner, so it will be a lot of fun.” After qualifying they then lost 6-1, 6-2 in the semifinal match to eventual champions Drew Menzel and Grace Norgaard of Glenbard West. In the third-place match,they fell to Glenbard West’s Maggie Hughes and Elizabeth Ficarella. The pair was not put together until part way through the season when South coach Pete Freischlag saw something in them.

“They can be dynamic and they will get better and every better match they play,” he said. “They are both very athletic and they are both very fast and very competitive.” In singles play, junior Christine Pavlov fell one match shy of state, falling in three sets to Lemont’s Lisa Gawron 6-4, 5-7, 6-4. “We had a few too many unforced errors and the Lemont girl played a great match,” Freischlag said. As a team,the Mustangs finished tied with Hinsdale South for fourth place with 12 total points. Glenbard West won the sectional with 32 points, while Glenbard East and Glenbard South were tied for second with 14 points. Lemont was sixth with 10 points, Willowbrook was seventh with six, while Downers Grove North and Montini did not score. “This is all gravy with a team this young,” Freischlag said. “We started the season 1-5 and ended up 17-8 and won the conference.

Meanwhile, Benet was out of its game against Marist as it trailed 42-7 at the half after seven first half turnovers in a 49-21 loss. The Redwings will have its hands full slowing down Ivlow and company. The Hilltoppers are outscoring opponents 312139.They defeated Marist 49-27 earlier in the year. JCA will also look to slow down the Redwings’ passing attack, led by Jack Beneventi. The Redwings have scored 246 points and have allowed 129. Benet won last year’s game 31-21 in Joliet. “They are a very good football team,” JCA coach Dan Sharp said. “This is a big game for them. Everyone is looking at playoff seeding.” •Another big game in the Voyager Media coverage area is the battle for Plainfield with South at East. Both teams are 2-0 against fellow Plainfield schools. The Cougars (5-3, 4-2) need a win to ensure a playoff berth,

while a loss will put them on the bubble with playoff points. They gave Oswego its toughest Southwest Prairie Conference game of the year last week, falling 35-28. The Bengals (6-2, 4-2) clinched their first-ever playoff berth with a 49-28 win over Plainfield Central. South features the running of Joshua Harris and the defense is anchored by one of the top recruits in the state in linebacker Clifton Garrett. The Cougars are outscoring opponents 240-212. East has a big-play offense led by quarterback Cole Kotopka and running back Jake Mayon. The defense has been solid and balanced throughout the year, outscoring opponents 194-118. The game is slated for 7 p.m. Friday at East. Follow Scott @Taylor_Sports staylor@buglenewspapers.com

PRO Martial Arts Life insurance vs. 529 plan brings bullying prevention to Downers Grove Dear Dave, An insurance salesman told me it’s better to use a life insurance policy for college savings rather than a 529 plan because the child can use it for anything instead of just college. Is that true? Rusty

Dear Rusty, Of course that’s what he told you. He’s an insurance salesman! He was right on one point. If the kid doesn’t go to college, the savings inside an insurance policy can be used for anything. But here’s the catch:There won’t be much waiting for you, because you saved it inside a life insurance policy. The returns stink! Savings inside a life insurance policy won’t get you anywhere near the cash you’d have by investing in a 529 plan. If you’re going to save for your kids’ college fund, there needs to be lots of talk around the house about actually going to college. It’s not really brainwashing them so much as it’s letting them know the importance of a good education. And they need to know, on no uncertain terms,

Better car, better gas mileage?

Dear Dave, Is it a good idea to sell your car in order to get one that gets better gas mileage? Trey Dear Trey, Only if the other car is really cheap, or cheaper than the one you’re selling. I think it’s funny when people run out and upgrade on their $7,000 car to buy a $30,000 Prius to save gas. Think about it. That’s an extra expenditure of $23,000 to save gas. Where are you planning on driving, to the moon? Actually saving money is a much better plan than some of the ideas people dream up in the name of saving money.When it comes to things like this, you need to sit down and do the

fairies to come out and join the nightmare of the night at the Westmont Community Center. There will be lots of laughter trying your luck at carnival games while you earn great prizes. Register to win a special prize right after the “Parade of Costumes.” Then, children and adults alike will be under a spell when they watch the hocus pocus magic of “Horrible Harry.”This Zombie will have you mystified and speechless with all the tricks he has up his sleeve! You may even become part of the show! No time for dinner? No worries! There will be a Monster Menu available that you can sink your fangs into. Join in the fun, and you’ll be sure to scream about having a good time! FREE EVENT! All Ages. Halloween Dance. 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the Westmont Community Center. Halloween is a holiday celebrated by activities such as trick-or-treating, costumes, ghost stories and jack-o-lanterns. Now you can add dancing and fun to that list of activities. Come to the Westmont Community Center on Halloween with your friends and

math. Crunch some hard, cold figures and see what happens. “Well, if we got this kind of gas mileage, instead of what we’re getting now, how much money would we save?” But if you spend $5,000 more to save $50 it will take forever to get back the money you’ve already spent. Getting better gas mileage is good thing, but I wouldn’t recommend spending any more than the value of the car you’re currently driving to make it happen. Moving down in car but up in mileage is a great plan.If you do that, you’ll really start making headway with your money. This kind of scenario is a simple math thing, Trey. The problem is lots of times people’s emotions get caught up in stuff, and next thing you know they think they have a real reason to buy an expensive, new piece of automotive technology. I call that car fever, and it’ll wreck your finances in a hurry! —Dave * Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business.

ILLIANA Continued from page 1 residents, corridor representatives chose the B3 option for the route, which is pretty much a straight line from Interstate 55 to Interstate 65. Before the issue with CMAP began, corridor commission representatives were in the middle of Tier 2 studies – narrowing the B3 alternative to a 400-foot-wide path, and working with landowners in that area to begin buying right of way. Many of those property owners, including farmers concerned about their land being broken up, did not like the idea of the state having “quick take” authority. A few of those farmers appeared before the MPO committee to urge them to reconsider the toll way as they felt that regardless

of how the land is acquired, the project would destroy farmland. “If IDOT paves over this land, it will have the same effect as Chernobyl,” said Virginia GatesHamann of Peotone. She said the project would poison the Peotonearea land her family has farmed for generations. State officials have said that quick take does not mean the state can confiscate property immediately by forcing an arbitrary sum on landowners. The state must show the property is necessary for construction within a calendar year, and still must negotiate with property owners for the land. “I think this was huge step but it was unfortunate that it was such a divisive issue over these last couple of months,” said John Greuling,president and CEO of the Will County Center for Economic Development. He said he was glad that elected were able to step up to the plate to support the project. “I feel great but again, this is just one step in the process.” In a separate vote that night the Policy Committee also gave IDOT the authority to spend over $80 million for more engineering and land acquisition. IDOT has already spent about $40 million in planning work on the project. “Right now we’re trying to get the most bang for our buck,” said Ann Schneider, director of IDOT, in a press conference after the vote. She said the next step for the project is to go into the bidding process to find suitable investors for the first public-private project in Illinois. If these are not found, then the state will not build Illiana. But if all goes according to plan, she said the Illiana Tollway might be open by 2018 at the earliest.
