The Illinois Housing Development Authority recently approved more than $1.4 million in Low Income Housing Tax Credits for the proposed Woodridge Horizon Senior Living Community, to be located at 8099 Janes Ave. in Woodridge. The tax credit, which was awarded on June 27, means that the 93-unit affordable independent senior living development can now move forward. The proposed four-story brick masonry building will offer a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments for adults age 62 and older and common area amenities such as a community room, fitness center, game room, library and computer lab. “This project addresses a village board goal and community priority to provide Woodridge residents with senior housing opportunities,” Woodridge Mayor Gina Cunningham said. In 2008, the village entered into a development agreement with a local apartment complex owner to buy existing buildings and land for a future senior housing facility. The Village Board selected the Alden Foundation in 2012 to be the senior housing developer

Two powerful storm cells made the wind screech and thunder sound like artillery the final night of June. The violent weather, called “derecho” thunderstorms by meteorologists, hammered Chicago and its suburbs and left a wake of destruction in their path. The first set of severe rainstorms had already hit the western suburbs by 7 p.m. and led to hours of dangerous weather across the Chicago area. There was a brief respite as the first set of storms moved further east, but by 9:45 p.m.a second set of more powerful storms arrived in the area. The second round of thunderstorms led to tornado warnings being issued for parts of Cook, Kankakee and Will counties that lasted until about 11 p.m. At the height of the storm, over 350,000 ComEd customers across the state were without power. The National Weather Service would later confirm that a brief EF-1 tornado landed that night near Romeoville and Plainfield in Will County. Featuring winds of up to 95 mph, it touched down in Plainfield and crossed over Interstate 55 to Romeoville over a course of about three minutes. No one was injured but trees

The morning after the storms officials closed the I-190 entrance to O’Hare International Airport at Mannheim Road thanks to flooding and did not fully reopen it to traffic until about 7:45 a.m. The evening’s storms also forced airlines to cancel over 450 flights at O’Hare and nearly all of the flights out of Midway International Airport. By the next day the two airports, while still canceling

some flights, were resuming their regular operations. Flooding was also an issue in Downers Grove, where downed power lines and standing water were a dangerous combination for residents and crews working to clean up storm debris. Further south, Will County’s suburbs were still experiencing power outages as of 4:30 p.m. on July 1, with about 5,600 ComEd customers in Romeoville still without power.

DuPage County

Sheriff requests a ‘slow down’ for areas with children Zaruba’s “Slow Down” traffic campaign aims to remind drivers children are out playing

Down” traffic campaign aims to remind drivers that children are out playing and drivers need to take responsibility for the safety of children playing. The department said that when drivers are reminded with “speed trailers” and “visual signage” they self-

regulate themselves and become aware of their responsibility to be a safe driver. “The Slow Down campaign is an effective way to get this message across to both drivers and parents, with a goal of also teaching the children how to stay safe around roads,” Zaruba said. “This program is necessary to ensure children

can play or ride a bike in their neighborhoods without their lives being endangered. I urge drivers to slow down and be vigilant around schools, parks and homes. Give our children a ‘Brake.’” If you would like more information on obtaining a “Slow Down” sign, contact the Sheriff’s Office at 630-407-2317.

Spinuzza tabbed as Voyager Media Athlete of the Year By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

Childhood was not particularly kind to Downers Grove South senior Danny Spinuzza – but from the outside looking in, you wouldn’t know. Spinuzza’s mom died when he was only 10 years old, leaving his dad, Jim, to raise him as a single parent. Like most fathers and sons, the Spinuzza’s bonded over sports and as Danny excelled through his career, he said he did it all as an appreciation and testament to his dad. After being a member of both the Voyager Media basketball and baseball teams and being invited to the Prep Shootout senior basketball team, Danny is the 2014 Voyager Media Multisport Athlete of the Year. “It is humbling. Dealing with all the hardships in my childhood, there was always one person I knew I that would be there for me and that was my father,” Danny said. “All of the awards and accomplishments I have achieved weren’t for the satisfaction of myself, but as a thank you to my dad for all that he has done. He was always there for me and kept me motivated and kept me on the right path and all this is for him.” On the basketball court, Spinuzza tallied 14.1 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, while posting 68 assists, 40 steals and 39 three-pointers. “Danny Spinuzza was a threeyear varsity starter,” Downers South basketball coach Kristopher Olson said. “Danny started every game and we only took him out when he was in foul trouble. Danny was our floor general and he set our offense up. Danny also made the big shot when necessary. He was our best ball handler and we had

no back up for him.” On the diamond, he was a lefthanded pitcher and outfielder for the Mustangs’ team that reached the Class 4A supersectional, winning the sectional title for only the second time in school history. He batted .425 with 34 hits and 20 RBI. He went 7-2 on the mound with a 1.28 ERA. He said he never really considered choosing between the two sports he loves. “I don’t really try and take in other people’s opinion,” Danny said.“My father and I talked about it and he told me to do what I love to do and what I loved to do is play both. Going from one season, right to the other was difficult, but I stayed focused and put all my effort into whatever sport was in season at that time.” While he enjoyed it in high school and considered playing both in college, Danny has decided to hang up the sneakers and focus on baseball at the next level. He is currently looking over schools, saying he will probably play next season at a junior college because of his late decision. Other Multisport Athletes of the Year in other zones include:

TUF BORLAND Only a sophomore, the Bolingbrook linebacker paced the team with 101 total tackles. He had 10 tackles for loss, one sack, five pass break-ups and two interceptions. He was one of the leaders of the Raider defense that allowed less than 10 points per game and was named to the Voyager Media All-Area football team. On the baseball field this season, he took his comfortable spot behind the plate as the >> see ATHLETE | page 12

Sports >> ATHLETE, FROM PAGE 11 Raiders’ catcher. He hit .341 with four doubles and 15 RBI.

DRAKE FELLOWS Sophomore was an important part of the Joliet Catholic Academy basketball team that won a Class 3A regional title this season. The 6-5, 185-pounder helped solidify the Hilltoppers’ frontcourt. Fellows, who has already committed to play for 2014 College World Series champion Vanderbilt, went 6-1 on the mound with a .63 ERA and 77 strikeouts for Joliet Catholic. He was a member of the Voyager Media All-Area team. “Drake really exploded onto scene this spring, tremendous talent that is going to be fun to watch for two more years,” Joliet Catholic Academy baseball coach Jared Voss said.

JOHN HADER Hader, who’ll be running track at Eastern Illinois next spring, became the first athlete in Maine South history to earn state medals in both the 100- and 200-meter dashes. The senior also was an all-CSL cornerback, and head coach David Inserra didn’t hesitate to use him offensively to stretch opposing defenses. “We didn’t have to worry about his side of the ball when he was over there covering,” Inserra said. “Just a great kid, a hard worker and used his abilities to the best of what he had.And what a great track season he had.”

CHUCK HUNTER Hunter moved back to Romeoville this season and immediately made an impact on the Spartan athletic scene.

His biggest impact was as a two-way player on the football field. The junior made defenses weary with his speed. He caught 45 passes for 923 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also had three interceptions on defense and was a member of the Voyager Media All-Area team. “Chuck Hunter is one of the best receiver/cornerbacks I have had the opportunity to coach,” Romeoville football coach Jeff Kuna said. “He has great ball skills and ability to adjust to the ball.As a cornerback he provides great coverage as well as being a very good open field tackler. He definitely provides big play potential every time he touches the ball.” Hunter was a starter on the basketball team under new coach Marc Howard and averaged six points, two rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

DANIEL JACKSON Jackson, a junior, led Plainfield East to its first playoff berth in school history. A defensive lineman, Jackson spent every game in the opponent’s backfield, before an injury ended his season early. In seven games he had six sacks and 15 tackles for loss, with 38 total tackles. “Daniel was the best defensive tackle in the conference,” Plainfield East football coach Mike Romeli said. “He disrupted play after play and was always in opposing team’s backfields.” Jackson was also a state qualifier in track and field. He qualified in the shot put after a put of 52-feet, 11-inches at sectionals. Jackson had a top put of 47-8 at state. He also took second in the Southwest Prairie Conference in both the discus and shot put.

Spring season offered up plenty of drama The spring high school sports season isn’t a marathon, but a sprint. It’s the busiest of the three prep Choice Words seasons, with by Mike Sandrolini umpteen sports, for all intents and purposes, cramming their schedules into two months: April and May. It also goes by in a blur for those of us in the media, too, but some occurrences this spring have stuck in my memory bank (or in my craw) more than others. Here are a few: Poignant Moment I—Watching senior two-sport athlete Tom Simon—a starter on the Notre Dame baseball team as well as a starting defensive back/wideout on multiple Dons state-playoff qualifying football teams—look out over the Notre Dame baseball field in silence after the Dons lost to Evanston in the regional title game. Simon had just participated in graduation exercises that morning. I talked to him afterward, and he was, of course, reflecting on the fact that his athletic career at Notre Dame was over—the training, the special relationships with teammates and coaches, the thrill of victories and the disappointment of losses, the bus trips to and from road games. “It’s tough to swallow,” Simon said. “You put countless hours into this one school, to one common goal, whether it be football or baseball, in the weight room, on the field, all the hours you spend. Just seeing this come to an end, it’s a little tough.” Poignant Moment II— Remaining objective when covering any event—sporting or otherwise—is the first rule of thumb one is taught in Journalism 101. Sometimes, though, you just can’t help but feel bad for someone when things don’t go their way. Emily Leonard was one such athlete this spring. The Maine South senior made all-state in cross country each of her four years, and had qualified for the state track meet her three previous campaigns in the

3,200. Unfortunately, Leonard went into sectionals last month with a nagging injury to a hip muscle. She tried to keep pace with two standout NewTrier runners:Mimi Smith, who ended up finishing third at state in the event, and Smith’s teammate, Kaitlin Frei (22nd). Unfortunately the injury hampered Leonard, who did finish third but was well off the state qualifying time. Visibly, and understandably, upset in the infield after the race, Leonard was consoled by teammates. She definitely deserved a better fate. It’s a good bet, however, that Leonard will be poised for more success when she begins her collegiate running career at Dayton this fall. Best interview—Without a doubt, Benet Academy girls soccer team senior co-captain and leading scorer Michelle Morefield. Ask her a question about a specific goal or play, and she could describe everything in vivid detail, including offensive and defensive alignments, strategy, you name it. Whatever career path she chooses, I’m sure she’ll be successful. Perhaps she’ll be a future soccer coach. A win for the record books—In what was arguably the surprise of the spring—if not the upset of the spring—Bolingbrook’s softball team stepped onto Benet Academy’s home field and knocked off the highly touted Redwings in convincing fashion, 7-1, to win the first regional softball title in school history. Keep in mind that Benet had already won 30 games going into the title matchup, was the No. 1 sectional seed, was ranked at or near the top of every Chicago area softball poll, and has its share of college talent on the roster. Pitching and timely hitting are keys to every successful postseason softball and baseball squad, and Bolingbrook got both. Megan Lotarski survived walking six Benet hitters, but recorded outs at crucial junctures. And Oliva Simpson crushed a threerun homer late in the game. With Lotarski and Simpson returning, look for Bolingbrook to be a much higher seed than eighth come playoff time next spring.

Golf Review

mark + scott’s

review

Tanna Farms

Strategic plan Tanna Farms has unique setup For the past couple years, I’ve been seeing pictures of Tanna Farms Golf Club in Geneva and have been taylor’s take looking forward by scott taylor to playing there. I got that opportunity to review the course a couple of weeks ago and it lived up to my expectations. For $49 with a cart during the week, it is one of the best value courses around the Chicagoland area. While it has some of the similar problems of a cheaper course (players not replacing ball marks and divots), the course is still beautiful with plenty of strategy. It is rare for a course to start with a par-3, but that is exactly the case with Tanna Farms. The first hole is a short par-3 (120 from blue) that plays over the water. Considering there is no driving range, this is a tough short iron start to open your round, but it is a great golf hole to start. That is followed up with a reachable par-5 (482) and then there is another par-3 over water, this one playing at 167 yards.The first major strategic hole is the fourth hole, the first par-4 on the course. From the blue it plays

345, but with a dogleg, it is more like 315. However, there is water in front of the green and homes to the left, making it a major risk/ reward. A unique par-5 follows with a narrow landing to place second shots in between water on each side. A very tough hole. Holes seven and eight are also difficult par-4s with seven being uphill and eight being protected by water to the right. The front nine has four par-3s, which is very unique and plays to just 34 strokes. However, it is far from easy, even at just 2,650 yards as the slope is still 126. It is definitely an iron player’s nine. The 10th hole and 11th hole both play with water on the left, leading up to my favorite hole, a short par-4 12th hole. It plays just 325 from the blue and 277 from the white, yet is the No. 3 most difficult hole on the course. This is because the fairway is an island and the green is nearly an island. Two short and accurate irons can lead to a birdie, but going for the green is especially tempting. That is what Mark Gregory and I both did. Neither of us hit good shots, but we managed to avoid all of the water by hitting it around the 11th green. Mark was in a greenside bunker and I was just off the fringe. We still had

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Tanna Farms opens with a rare par-3, which plays over water.

to play over water and a bunker though to get to the green. After the short hole, the longest and most difficult hole on the course is next. The par5 13th hole is fairly tight and is 578 yards from the blue. The 14th hole is a dogleg that has some options and some hazards. Mark and I both somehow got pars on it. The 15th is a par-5 with three separate hazards, the 16th is a par-3 over a hazard and the 17th is another long par-5.The 18th is another short par-4 where the fairway is separated by rough near the green and is a good hole

to have a nice finishing score on. The back nine has three par5s and plays 3,081 yards with 37 strokes. Even with three more strokes, it still plays much longer, thanks to the long par-5s. I have played a lot of courses in my life, but not many offer the different options that this one does. Each hole is unique and it is a true “thinkers” golf course where strategy comes in to play quite often. I was told by one of the workers that the course used to be just nine holes and has moved to 18 holes in the past decade.

That would lead to the lone downfall of this course, which was that there was no halfway house with the layout. You go away from the clubhouse and are pretty much on your own until the end. The beverage cart also didn’t take cards, so if you aren’t prepared (which I wasn’t) there is no eating or drinking for your entire round. Despite that fact though, it was a great course to play and it is plenty of fun to hit the different kinds of shots throughout the course. It is definitely one I recommend playing, especially for the money.

Lisle’s Birdsell top local female athlete By mike sandrolini For the bugle

mike@buglenewspapers.com @voyagersport

Nothing last summer could keep Elanta Slowek from completing her training regimen in preparation for her senior year at Maine East. Not even if the gates at the school’s football field, where the track is located, happened to be locked. “I’d just go over the fence and do what I had to do,” she said. Voyager Media’s Female Multisport Athlete of the Year estimates that she spent around six hours per day, six days a week during the summer either training or going to camps to help hone her skills. “(All) that gave me an advantage,” she said, “Because that’s one minute someone else isn’t doing anything.” It goes without saying that all the hard work paid off. Slowek was the second-leading scorer and defensive stalwart on a Maine East girls basketball team that won 20 games and captured the CSL North championship for the first time in school history last winter. She also was a member of the North squad in the Voyager Media Prep Shootout. This past spring, Slowek made her third straight appearance at the Class 3A state meet in the high jump, while also qualifying for state for the second consecutive season in the discus. Slowek’s third time to state was a charm as she won a state medal in the discus, finishing sixth with a toss of 129 feet, 11 inches. “I’m glad I had such a great support system,” said Slowek, who plans to compete in both basketball and track at Carthage College. “I did what I was supposed to do and went above my expectations. I’m grateful I

had teammates and coaches that said,‘It’s now or never.’ ” One of those coaches is basketball coach Karol Hanusiak. “The kid just has such natural athletic ability,” Hanusiak said. “I’ve come across many kids that have had athletic ability and seen many kids who don’t want to use it. Elanta, she trusted the people around her and her coaches. She had really specific goals and really worked hard in the off-season to achieve those (goals). “Sometimes her biggest enemy was not her competition, but herself.” Hanusiak said Slowek had to learn that she wasn’t always going to be perfect, nor was she always going to be the best on the court or on the track “but it’s OK to have a goal to do that.” “Once she was able to grasp that, that’s when things started to really change for her,” Hanusiak said. Multisport Athletes of the Year in other zones include:

CHAVON BANKS She was second on the Joliet Central volleyball team with 140 kills and one of only three Steelmen to surpass the 100-kill plateau for the season. On the basketball court, she averaged 10.5 points and 12.5 rebounds per game for Joliet Central. Banks was named to the Voyager Media All-Area third team and was an invite to the 2014 Voyager Media Prep Shootout all-star basketball game. “Chavon led by example on the court every night by her desire to win,” said Joliet Central coach Brian Reed.

Lions advanced to the Class 1A sectional final before falling to IC Catholic, 3-2. She had a goal and two assists on the year, and also was in goal for four games, making 40 saves and allowing five goals. Birdsell also was the leader of Lisle’s girls basketball team which reached the Class 2A regional final. She also competed on the winning North squad at the Voyager Media Prep Shootout this spring.

SKYE OSBORNE Being only a sophomore didn’t stop Osborne from being a two-sport varsity starter for the Spartans. In softball, she batted .446 with 14 doubles and 23 runs scored. She was 7-11 with 89 strikeouts in the circle. “She is an all-around great athlete,” said Romeoville softball coach Christina Douglas. A point guard on the basketball team, she tallied 60 assists (led team) and 39 steals (second on team) for Romeoville. She also averaged five points per game.

MICHAELA SCHLATTMAN

Lisle senior was a member of the Lions’ girls soccer team. The

Only a junior, Schlattman is already a three-time softball regional champion with Plainfield Central. She was the team’s leadoff hitter, batting .457 with 12 doubles, four triples, four homers, 26 RBI and scored 48 runs. “Michaela has been our leading hitter all season,” Plainfield Central softball coach Anne Campbell said.“She does so much for us in the lead-off spot. She can hit for power, and when she singles, her base stealing success puts her in scoring position. She has also been the team leader on the field.” Schlattman was also a started

on the Wildcats’ basketball team. She hit the game-winning three-

pointer in a regional quarterfinal win over Romeoville.

(I think it was $5) from another person attending the game. Two or three innings into the contest, that parking lot attendant to whom they thought they had given the slip was checking the lot, apparently looking for their vehicle. The laughter then turned to nervous laughter as one of the teens noticed the attendant. Convinced she was looking for the two suspected scofflaws’ car,

one of the teens approached the attendant, fessed up and paid the fee. Props to that young man for doing the right thing. Don’t quit your day job—The occasional embarrassing silence when someone can’t cue up the National Anthem on their IPhone notwithstanding, most public address announcers at high school sports events do a good job.

That said, I can bear witness to a few announcers who could give the most annoying public address announcer in sports, Michael Baiamonte of the Miami Heat, a run for his money. (If you’ve ever watched or listened to a Bulls vs.Heat game broadcast from Miami, you know what I’m talking about.) At a particular baseball game I covered this spring, one announcer running the

board would forget to turn the background music down during pitches. Eventually, an assistant coach from the host school hustled up to the booth and told him (among other things, I’m sure) to cut the music. I didn’t check the transaction wire, but it wouldn’t surprise me if this P.A. announcer wannabe was given his unconditional release after the game.
