Kevin Gushiken Pastor

I ask them, ‘Did you like it?’”

Gushiken said. “The overall reaction is one of, ‘It’s moved me and made me more appreciative of what Jesus did on the cross.’”

Bible passages and questions are at each station to prompt discussion for the families and groups who travel through the maze together.

Although the individual stations are partially divided by black, makeshift walls, the ceiling is open and noises from neighboring stations can be heard. This design is supposed to enhance the experience.

When one participant is hanging on the cross, he might hear another participant hammering nails or yelling, “Crucify him,” Gushiken said.

Gushiken said he got the idea for the maze after he sat down with a group of people to brainstorm different ways

VILLA PARK — There aren’t brightly colored eggs, jelly beans or Easter bunnies at Harvard Avenue Evangelical Free Church this week.

To prepare for Easter, the church has constructed a sensory-driven Easter maze that allows guests to tangibly experience Jesus’ crucifixion.

This is the third time in about nine years that the church has constructed the maze, said Pastor Kevin Gushiken, who has served with church 14 years. It’s a blend of stations of the cross and a hands-on experience that combines the senses of sight, sound, touch and taste.

“Kids are what I really get excited about,” he said.

“They know the story but it comes to life (with the maze).”

The maze opened Tuesday morning and on the first day alone, Gushiken estimates about 100 people took the journey, many of them being non-church members.

“We’re excited because we want it to be a gift to the community,” he said. “We’re hoping that it’s not just people here (who attend).”

Visitors traveling through the maze go step-by-step through Jesus’ journey to the cross. They can lift a beam of wood that represents His cross, they can drive nails into a wooden board like the Roman soldiers, they can taste vinegar representative of the bitter wine He drank, and they can even hang on a cross that was built by church volunteers.

“As people have come out,

Heidelmeier to remain in race after photo scandal

By SARAH SMALL and AMBER KROSEL ssmall@shawmedia.com, akrosel@shawmedia.com VILLA PARK — John Heidelmeier, a candidate for Villa Park village president and the town’s former police chief, will remain in the April 9 race after a partially nude photo of him surfaced online.

Heidelmeier reportedly emailed a statement shortly before midnight Wednesday to the Chicago Tribune, apologizing to family and supporters about two pictures recently found on an Internet sex website.

The Tribune reported that the photos were posted on a website advertising “your most diverse phone sex experience.” In one picture, Heidelmeier is wearing a blue shirt and looking at the web camera, while the other shows an exposed genital un-

derneath that shirt.

In his statement, Heidelmeier confirms the photos are of him, according to the Tribune.

Heidelmeier, who could not be reached for comment by the Villa Park Argus, is running against Trustee Deborah Bullwinkel for village president on April 9.

He most recently served as police chief in Villa Park before being ousted in January 2012.

“I still think he’ll do a good job,” said Rich Biagioli, a candidate for Villa Park trustee who has run his campaign closely alongside Heidelmeier. “I truly do.”

Villa Park Trustee John Davis discovered the photos

on Tuesday, when someone anonymously printed them out and put them in his mailbox, along with a photo of the website.

When reached via email on Thursday, Davis declined to comment further, saying he runs “a clean race” and did not want to spread any more information about the incident.

“I do not want to have anything to do with this issue,” Davis said. “This is a private matter for the Heidelmeier family.”

Bullwinkel said Davis made her aware of the photos on Tuesday. She said she did not receive any similar anonymous mailings.

“I certainly consider this a private matter,” she said.

“John and his family are dealing with it and we need to give them their privacy.”

Reporter Ed McMenamin contributed to this report.

OPENING EYES TO SUNGLASS PROTECTION Just as the most expensive pair of sunglasses do no necessarily better protect eyes from damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays, nether do sunglasses with the darkest lenses. In fact, they do more harm then good. When dark sunglasses are worn, the pupils dilate to let more light in. If dark lenses do not sufficiently block out UV rays, they are actually allowing more of these harmful rays to reach the eye than if no sunglasses were worn. Without UVblocking ability, dark glasses only filter out the ambient light, not UV rays that can lead to cataracts and cancer. The recommendation remains to only purchase sunglasses that carry labels that guarantee to block UVA and UVB rays.

The damage from ultraviolet rays is not limited to the skin. Whether you like to jog, bike or sit in your yard, you need to wear sunglasses. Please call SKOWRON EYE CARE to schedule a comprehensive eye health exam that includes an examination of the internal and external parts of the eyes, screening for cataracts, and prescription determination. Polycarbonate and most high-index lenses have built in UV protection. We can prescribe lenses with UV-ray protection that fit into frames by a variety of designers. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision.

P.S. Unless they are specifically treated with UV coating, polarized lenses (which reduce glare) do no offer UV protection.

DERMATOLOGY UPDATE Presented by

Todd T. Davis, M.D. Board Certified Dermatologist

DOES INDOOR LIGHTING POSE CANCER RISK? As the switch is being made from traditional incandescent bulbs to vastly more energy-efficient compact fluorescent lighting (CFL), scientists have wondered if the eco-friendly CFL bulbs pose any skin cancer risk.

New research into the matter now reveals that pervasive chipping/cracking in the phosphor surface coating of nearly all compact fluorescent bulbs under examination was allowing UV rays to escape. (The phosphor coating both provides the bulb with greater luminescence and absorbs UV radiation.) In light of this research, scientists warn that skin cells placed in close approximation (less than one foot) to CFL bulbs showed the same damage as those exposed to UV light. No one us suggesting that sunscreen should be applied indoors, but caution is urged.

Our practice is located at

103 N. Haven, Suite 7, Elmhurst.

Most people are now aware the sun emits harmful UV rays that can cause skin cancer. Research now shows that exposure to energy efficient CFL bulbs inside the home also emit some UV rays. Your risk of skin cancer is related to the amount of UV ray exposure you have had over your lifetime.

Matt Kissane got his start doing stand-up comedy at Who’s on First, a now-defunct comedy club in Elmhurst.

Twenty years later, the Villa Park resident and Lombard native has appeared on TV programs, radio broadcasts, commercials and films. Recently, he launched a humorous podcast, “Live from Chicago, it’s Matt Kissane” as a way to reconnect with his longstanding interest in radio.

“I’ve always had a little soft spot for radio,” said Kissane, who was an on-air radio personality in New Jersey during college. “It’s always been a passion of mine that I never fulfilled.”

His program, “Live from Chicago,” began several weeks ago and has featured guests such as WGN’s Mike Toomey, Steven Adler from Guns N’ Roses, and a variety of actors and comedians.

Seven candidates are run-

pointed to fill a vacancy on the board.

Repairing the village’s streets is one of his biggest priorities, as well as increasing staffing of the fire, police and public works departments.

“We need to be getting our departments at full throttle,” Davis said. “There’s no way to do tree maintenance or even code enforcement without the proper tools.”

Candidate Rich Biagioli wants to focus on business development and working to regain the trust of residents. Biagioli was hired with the Villa Park Fire Department in 2000, working there until he was injured eight years later.

He supported the village developing a strategic plan.

“We’ve had missed opportunities that other villages have capitalized on,” Biagioli said.

Tony Gurdak has lived in Villa Park for 50 years and previously served on the DuPage District 88 Board of Education.

Gurdak wants to see a busi-

ness plan created that can be shown to potential developers in Villa Park. With the additional revenue from increased business, he said the village can make necessary repairs to infrastructure.

“We’re looking for that initial phase that will get us over the hump,” Gurdak said.

“We’ve got successes all around — Lombard, Elmhurst, Oakbrook Terrace, Addison — let’s see what they did to be successful.”

Candidate Greg Hassler grew up in Elmhurst and moved to Villa Park with his wife to raise their family. He proposed making developmental changes to St. Charles Road to deviate from the industrial businesses that currently line the thoroughfare, transitioning to an area that appeals to shoppers.

He also favored creating a park district in town.

“You’ve got to change the mindset,” Hassler said. “’This is the way it’s always been

done.’ We need to get away from that mindset.”

Rodney Pate, a 21-year resident, is involved in the Summerfest Commission and Villa Park Community Foundation.

Like many of the candidates, Pate also wants to see new business growth. He supported condensing and consolidating the village’s code book to make it easier for businesses to open.

“Make (businesses) feel like, ‘I’m doing this because I want you to be here,’” he said. “Once you get one good group in, word gets on the street that Villa Park really works with you.”

The second incumbent trustee, Robert Taglia, has been on the board since 2009.

Taglia said he’s optimistic about some recent developments in the village, like the Sonic restaurant that opened on Roosevelt Road last year.

He said the village has been aggressive about seeking out new business opportunities, but in order to be successful, there needs to be good working relationships among trustees.

“Listen to people, be considerate of their ideas and be a little forgiving, too,” Taglia said.

Candidate Robert Wagner, who has served on the library board for 15 years including as board president, also once served for two years as village trustee.

Wagner was enthusiastic about some recent property developments along North Avenue and the new medical building on Villa Avenue.

“We need to develop a 10year, comprehensive, strategic plan for dealing with failing roads and sewers,” he added. “I think you need to practice preventative maintenance.”

The March 13 candidate forum was hosted at Village Hall by the Villa Park Junior Women’s Club.

VILLA PARK — Two Florida men were arrested and charged last week after allegedly breaking into a car in Villa Park and stealing and using multiple credit cards from the purse inside that they took.

Lawrence C. Milles-Trace, 24, of Florida, was charged with forgery, a Class 3 felony, and illegal use of a credit card, a Class 4 felony. With him was Jalil L. Allen, 25, of Florida, who was charged with forgery and possession of stolen property, a misdemeanor.

Both men were arrested March 18 by Villa Park police officers.

At 11:30 a.m. that day, Villa Park police responded to a report that a car’s window had been smashed in the parking lot of LA Fitness, 102 W. Roosevelt Road, and a woman’s purse containing several credit cards had been taken.

Officers tracked the sus-

pects while they used the credit cards at several locations, including Macy’s and Foot Locker, both located at Stratford Mall in Bloomingdale.

When Villa Park detectives went to the mall, they got video surveillance and a description of the men using the credit cards. While detectives were still at the mall, the suspects tried to use a stolen credit card from another victim at the Kohl’s store in the mall. They were stopped and arrested by Villa Park and Bloomingdale police officers.

After taking Milles-Trace and Allen into custody, Villa Park detectives found stolen credit cards belonging to multiple car burglary victims in Villa Park, Westmont and Downers Grove, along with items that had been purchased with the stolen credit cards.

According to police reports, the suspects had been targeting heath clubs and day care centers when breaking into cars.

Business sense needed on Village Board To the editor: Lombard’s village election is coming up next month, and this is a very important one.

After having Bill Mueller as the president of the Village Board for more than 20 years, sadly, we have the task of choosing a successor.

The last time we had a village election this important was 40 years ago, in 1973.

We had a one-party rule for well over a decade prior to that election. The electorate rebelled in April 1973 and changed the form of government to district representation, which is still our form of government.

I understand one of the candidates for the top spot on April 9 has formed a slate where they have candidates for other positions, such as trustee and village clerk, working together. This could be construed as bringing party politics back.

My choice for the position of village president is Keith Giagnorio. He is a small business man in town and has been involved in the community for many years. He served on the Park District Board, now serves as a village trustee and has supported many local organizations.

We need to have people in government who have business experience. Keith knows what it’s like to make payrolls for his employees, and how to

Election robo-calls unwelcome To the editor: May I suggest a straightforward way to help decide who to not vote for? Keep a pad next to your phone and every time a politico-dolt has a robo-call made to your residence during your private hours, write down his or her name and do not vote for this person.

Obviously they have little real concern or respect for you because they intrude uninvited at all hours. I just took a call in the middle of doing my taxes, from “Elmhurst Park ...” on the phone ID. Robo call for some Milner character.

Mail your qualifications.

Better yet, craft a letter to the newspaper. Better yet, invite challengers to a publicized debate. Don’t show your disdain for your potential constituents by interrupting precious private time in their home.

Mulliner works for his ward To the editor: We have been residents of Elmhurst’s 7th Ward for 51 years.

Mark Mulliner has been our alderman for the past 14 years, and we are proud to support his candidacy for mayor. We know he works tirelessly in the best interests of not only his 7th Ward constituents, but for all Elmhurst residents.

Elmhurst needs now, more than ever, the leadership qualities and integrity that Mark will bring to the office of mayor. Mark has the education, business background and civic experience as alderman, and the experience of serving on and chairing numerous committees that make him the one, and only, candidate to lead our community and to assure that Elmhurst continues to be the community in which we chose to live and raise our four children 51 years ago.

Please vote for Mark Mulliner in the April 9 election.

School District 45 depends on state and local sources for funding. When those sources are in jeopardy, the district is impacted.

On March 6, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn presented his fiscal 2014 budget plan. Included in that plan is a $370 million cut to support elementary and high schools. If finalized, this would be the thirdconsecutive year that education funding was reduced.

What continues to be the directive from Springfield is to increase actions and activities required by school districts yet under-fund or eliminate funding in which to implement these legislative mandates.

COMMUNITY So what does the state’s fiscal VOICE 2014 budget plan mean to Janice Rosales School District 45? Preliminary reports indicate that the School District will lose: • $660,646 in General State Aid funds – an 18 percent reduction in general state aid entitlement will force district decisions on classroom support, student enrichment opportunities and remedial provisions for students.

Many of our reading specialists, kindergarten interventionists and after-school tutors are hired with this state grant revenue.

• $3,000 in transportation funds – This means that required bus routes, as mandated by the state, will now be paid through our local coffers.

This state funding reduction is in addition to the looming question as to whether the state pension costs will be shifted to the school districts and school district employees throughout the state. Recently, the Illinois House of Representatives took action for pension reform legislation. This legislation would impact all retirement systems, including the Teachers’ Retirement System, by limiting the pensionable salaries. It is anticipated that more discussions and negotiations will take place before the final pension reform legislation is adopted.

Providing rigorous, quality education to all of the students of School District 45 is a top priority for the district. Yet as with your household budgets, the district must be financially responsible and live within our means.

Balancing the educational priorities of the district and living within the financial parameters of the district is always a challenge. Adding to that challenge is the uncertainty of additional legislative mandates and additional district financial obligations.

School District 45 began our fiscal 2014 budget-building process in December 2012. Our budget must be approved by Sept. 16, 2013. The deadline for legislators to pass a fiscal 2014 budget is May 31, 2013.

Vote for Giagnorio ensures transparency To the editor: Election Day will be here before we know it and results will soon be front-page news. Yes, voters, it’s election time and, as is so often the case with these mid-term local elections, we will likely see low voter turnout. Let us educated voters prove the pundits wrong with an unprecedented turnout.

Lombard has an opportunity to bring true leadership and dedication to making the collective community first again with the election of Keith Giagnorio as village president. These past months have seen our Village Board in a state of disarray, divisiveness and lacking in defined leadership and direction.

Some seemingly put advancement of personal agendas at any cost ahead of putting Lombard first. Recent items like the proposed redevelopment of the Ken Loch property, the continued funding of the Friends of the

To the editor: On April 9, Elmhurst will pick a mayor to lead our city for the next four years. It is important that the new mayor be a person of high character with a vision for progress and most importantly, a proven record of accomplishment and good government.

Based on that criteria, the choice is clear — Steve Morley.

Though I have heard the candidates talk and point to issues facing our city, only Steve Morley has provided me with any proof of a record of actually accomplishing anything while serving on the City Council. In six short years as alderman, Steve Morley has successfully fought to reduce the 2010-11 budget in a manner that did not reduce city services or jeopardize safety. Additionally, he sponsored the electric aggregation program that has directly saved me and every other Elmhurst homeowner money.

He has proposed common-sense budget policy and procurement reforms that provide better and more cost-efficient means for the city to operate.

To me, the choice on April 9 is an easy one. I will be voting for the only candidate that has a proven record of accomplishment that coincides with my priorities. Please join me in supporting Steve Morley for mayor.

DuPage Theatre’s arts agenda, and the attempt to micromanage department heads’ budgets truly makes one wonder whose interests they are representing.

Never has the time been more right for the community to come together under the leadership of village president candidate Keith Giagnorio. Your vote for Keith ensures that Lombard will stay on the right path as he strives to work with police, fire and public works. Your vote for Keith will put all the interests of Lombard first as he stands not only for intergovernmental agreement but also for ongoing partnerships with park district, library and school boards.

Colin McAuliffe — For Suburban Life Media

Natalie Collins, 4, of Willowbrook hammers in crosses held by her mother, Jody Collins, on Sunday at Church of the Holy Nativity in Clarendon Hills.

Local church remembers lives lost to gun violence

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com

CLARENDON HILLS — It was a bittersweet sight on the lawn of Church of the Holy Nativity in Clarendon Hills on Sunday.

Volunteers as young as 4 years old braved the cold and blistering winds to help address an issue that has become all too common in the Chicago area: death as a result of gun violence.

To remember victims and increase awareness, the Rev. Aimée Delevett gathered church members and volunteers to help install crosses on church lawn. Each cross represents an individual who died from gun violence in Chicago and its suburbs so far in 2013.

Only a few months into the year, the group posted more than 60 crosses on Sunday.

“I think there’s a level where people turn on the news at night, and this washes over them and they get so immune to it,” said Delevett, who has been preaching at the church for a little more than six years.

“This is not something people become immune to. These are people dying. These are people killing one another.”

Draped over each cross was

a colored T-shirt, handwritten with the person’s name and age. Victims range in age from toddlers to the elderly.

“We had about 60 T-shirts to make, and I was really concerned people were going to be like, ‘Oh, I have to go,’ and couldn’t stay, but people did not budge until all 60 shirts were finished,” Delevett said.

It was the youth in particular Delevett wanted to reach with the message. One of the youngest helpers on Sunday was Jody Collins’ 4-year-old daughter, Natalie, who was the first person to grab a hammer and start setting up a cross.

“I told her we were making crosses for people who died, and they got shot by a gun,” said Collins, of Willowbrook.

“She wanted to hammer the

The crosses represent all gun-related deaths in the Chicago area in 2013. crosses in by herself, and she was able to do it. So even a 4-year-old can make a difference.”

Collins said it was spiritually moving for her to see the crosses all set up — and for her daughter to be part of the construction.

“When I put a shirt on the cross, I said a prayer for that person and their family,” she said. “It’s just very touching,

and I hope people drive by and take the time to see this and think about gun violence in our community.”

The crosses and T-shirts were made by both youth and adults of the parish who wanted to help.

“I thought it was a beautiful idea and very moving,” said Cindy Houghton of Westmont, an 18-year member of the church. “It’s all going to be

incorporated into our Easter vigil service.”

On Easter Sunday, the crosses will be bare while the shirts are removed to be part of a special vigil, which takes place at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the church, 275 S. Richmond Ave., Clarendon Hills. Easter worship services are at 7:30 and 9:30 a.m. Sunday, with an egg hunt to take place at 10:45 a.m.

Steve is president of an Elmhurst-based marketing company, where for the last 20 years he has developed leadership and business skills – skills that are necessary to help guide the city effectively. Additionally, over the past six years, Steve has proven to be a dedicated, hardworking alderman. He thoughtfully considers every issue that comes before the City Council – whether advocating for cost-saving electrical aggregation, or aligning the timing of city budget and tax levy discussions, Steve takes the time to understand the issues and vote in the best interest of Elmhurst citizens.

The ability to build consensus, and put the interests of Elmhurst ahead of his own, are extremely important for the mayor to lead the City Council in making decisions. I’m impressed that Steve has the support of nine of the 11 current city aldermen who are not running for office. This speaks volumes for the respect Steve has earned through his ability to work with the other members of the Council.

We are fortunate to have good people in Elmhurst making thoughtful decisions to help run our city. Steve Morley is one of those good people, and I feel he’s the best candidate to guide

Keeling joined Scouts in first grade and was with his father, Dennis, for much of his Scouting experience. Dennis Keeling also is an Eagle Scout and volunteered as a den leader in Cub Scouts and as an assistant scout master in Boy Scouts.

For his service project, Keeling built a French drain at Calvary United Methodist Church in Villa Park to help prevent water from coming into the basement.

After graduation, Keeling plans to attend Columbia College and major in product design.

“I’m looking forward to taking the skills and lessons I learned through the Boy Scouts program and carrying them with me in my future endeavors,” he said.

Nicholas Williams completed his Eagle Scout project at Twin Lakes Park in Villa Park, where he and a group of volunteers planted trees throughout the park.

“The project went well; it just took a lot of time and energy,” he said. “It was about 90 hours of work.”

After graduation, Williams plans to attend University of Wisconsin-Parkside to study biology.

“I’m proud of my accomplishment,” he said. “Not many Scouts earn this status, and I’m honored to be able to serve my own community while developing leadership qualities that will carry with me for the rest of my life.”

I urge you to vote for Steve Morley for mayor. I will.

David Tufte Elmhurst

Steve graduated from Iowa University and is the president of Elmhurst-based Marketing Resources, Inc. He is a proven leader in his personal life as a husband, father, Scout den leader, softball coach and charity volunteer. For the past six years, Steve served as alderman of the 6th Ward and currently as chairman of the Development Planning & Zoning Committee.

Steve grew up in Elmhurst and chose to raise his family here. Besides his family, there is nothing more important to him than making sure this community provides a safe and secure atmosphere where children, families and businesses can grow and prosper.

Steve’s priorities are fiscal responsibility, solving long-term flooding issues, defending the Elmhurst taxpayers, keeping our neighborhoods safe, promoting well-planned development and maintaining and delivering superior services.

I have personally known Steve since he was in kindergarten.

His strength of character is clearly evident. Steve is honest, reliable and willing to work the long hours needed for the position mayor of Elmhurst. If you want to see honest people in government, join me in supporting Steve Morley.

For several years, the American economy has been in a slump, but you wouldn’t know it by all the spending that has been going on in Elmhurst. It is time to elect a mayor who has a history, since 2007, as an alderman of the 1st Ward and knows Elmhurst politics.

This person is Diane Gutenkauf. She has served on the Public Works and Buildings Committee to help improve our way of life, being especially instrumental in supporting the Safe Routes to School project by getting new sidewalks installed in her ward. I fully agree with Diane’s statement on her website, “Elmhurst needs a mayor who will stand as an independent voice and protect the city from the back-room cronyism that has wasted taxpayer dollars.”

I am most impressed by her consistent communication with the people in her ward through Town Hall and Coffee and Conversation gatherings.

Diane welcomes input from residents, communicates with them on what’s going on in city government and votes in a way that is consistent with her concern about the best use of taxpayer dollars. Diane will ensure that what is going on in Elmhurst government will be easily available for public viewing.

Yes, Diane will be a mayor who will keep Elmhurst fiscally sound during this continued economic downturn and into the future. She has my vote,

and I hope each voting Elmhurst resident will seriously consider giving Diane their vote.

Giagnorio, Kundrot deserve our support To the editor: I writing to ask my fellow Lombardians to vote for Keith Giagnorio for village president and to re-elect Dave Kundrot to the Park District Board of Commissioners.

I have had the honor of working with both of these gentleman over the years in a variety of community-based volunteer efforts. It has been through those experiences that I can say with the highest degree of certainty that Keith and Dave will serve Lombard residents well if elected April 9.

Both of these men have deep roots in our community and are driven to serve us. Their demonstration of unwavering commitment to Lombard and its residents has made my decision to support them an easy one.

Brinkmeier understands School Board job

To the editor: I believe District 205 needs another proven leader on its board, and that leader is Alan J. Brinkmeier.

We no longer want someone who has no experience or understanding of our community.

School Board members are one of the most important community positions. The decisions that they make not only affect students, but also school district employees and residents on a daily basis.

I believe Alan is the best candidate for a board position because he understands all aspects of this job. When acting as a School Board member, one must start with the understanding that every student has the basic right to a great public school education and put those interests first before their own. I believe Alan fully embraces this understanding and will always strive to achieve the highest standards for our students, our community and our district employees.

I fully support the election of Alan J. Brinkmeier to the District 205 School Board.

New mother finds inspiration after bed rest

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com ELMHURST — Marie Lopez didn’t rediscover her artistic talent until being confined to a hospital bed for seven weeks, but when she did, the therapeutic value was profound, she said.

The new mother now sells her drawings online, and said she wants to encourage other pregnant women who are confined to bed rest for lengthy periods to find hobbies and talents to help fight the doldrums. “I heard a lot of stories (about women confined Marie Lopez to bed rest who) just completely shut everybody out,� said Lopez, of Elmhurst. “And I just want those women to know that it’s OK to think about hobbies or to learn new hobbies. That it’s OK to do something to pass the time. It doesn’t help the stress level to sit there and be miserable.�

Lopez remembers that terrible feeling in the hospital, the feeling of a lack of productivity — and the creeping replacement of dread instead of optimism about the pregnancy. “It’s really tough to get motivated, when really you just want to crawl in a hole,� she said. “But if you are able to do something, you actually might feel more like a productive member of society like you used to.�

It wasn’t until she was able to continue bed rest at home that she worked up the motivation to be creative. “I wish I would have started drawing in the hospital,� she said. “It would have passed the time.�

When she came home — first to her parents’ house for three weeks and then to her home with husband, Anthony — the family was setting up the nursery. She started drawing small animals for the

walls that matched the crib’s bedding. “I had to sit on the couch with my feet up the whole time,� she said. “And that’s when I started drawing. My mom would tell me every day, ‘You just seem so much happier.’� “And it made me more excited about the birth, instead of being scared of it.�

On Feb. 2, 2012, she gave birth to a healthy boy named Brandon. The first few months of being a new mom demanded the time that would have been filled by drawing, but by summer, Lopez was able to go back to the colored pencils, she said.

Her first drawing was inspired by Brandon’s crayon drawing table. “I posted it on Facebook to say, ‘Hey, I finally got drawing again,’� she said. “Somebody said, ‘Oh you should sell that on Etsy.’ So I looked into it and said, ‘Hey, why not — this could be a fun adventure.’�

Her shop on Etsy.com, an online marketplace for artists and crafters, now offers an array of art ranging from simple dinosaurs to more detailed renderings of soccer balls, footballs and butterflies.

In general, the drawings are intended for decorating young children’s rooms, she said, but she is starting to draw for older children, too.

Lopez has since returned to working part time, as a developmental therapist, while drawing on the side.

While her Etsy shop has been open since October, Lopez recently succeeded in selling to buyers whom she’s not directly connected to, including an order from Australia. “I went in with no expectations,� she said. “But it’s going well.�

your eyes to see something that isn’t there?

— By Anne Raih, GateHouse News Service

Duck or rabbit?

When you look at this image, do you see a duck or a rabbit? The duck’s beak points to the left, and the rabbit looks to the right. Can you see each animal in the picture?

Penrose stairs

Ehrenstein illusion

Necker cube

It looks like you could walk forever on these stairs, but you keep retracing your steps in the process, creating an endless circle. How is this possible? Could this happen in real life?

It looks like the lines inside the concentric circles are bent, but if you grab a ruler or another straight edge, you will see they are perfectly straight. What is causing you to see the square in this way?

At first, this just looks like a simple transparent cube, but which way is it facing? Is it pointing up to the right, or down to the left? Can you see it both ways?

DRAWING WITH MARK!

ANGELS FROM THE ATTIC

Look at the center circles on both the left and right. Which circle is BIGGER? Which appears smaller? OR... are they both the same size?

This illusion was created by Hermann Ebbinghaus, born in Germany in 1850.

MYSTERY DINER

Restaurant reviews

flour + wine rises beyond expectations The chill of a recent Saturday afternoon sparked the idea of finding a restaurant with wood-fired pizza and a relaxed, romantic setting in which to enjoy it. But Neapolitan pizza turns out to be only part of the attraction at flour + wine in Glen Ellyn, where the rest of the menu is as inventive as its take on the Italian classic.

Our server delivered a carafe of water to our candlelit table and went over specials, which included a ricotta and honeycomb appetizer that he described as a sweet bruschetta that also could pinch hit as dessert.

Keeping it in the back of our minds for later in the meal, we opted to open with the house salad, but never expected the wow factor. Sublimely fresh, the organic butter lettuce turned up pretty as a picture with ribbons of fennel, toasted candied pecans, Gorgonzola and a delicate house vinaigrette.

My dining partner picked the hanger steak accompanied by shallots, tomatoes, fennel, arugula, fingerling potatoes

and citrus chimichurri. Cooked medium rare, it was flavorful and delectable, but we will order it medium next time.

With the word flour in the name of the restaurant, it was a welcome surprise to see gluten-free pizza crust and pasta as options. It was especially nice to hear the pizza still would be cooked in the wood-burning oven tucked inside the kitchen — a rare treat for the gluten-intolerant among us.

I ordered the “local sausage and raisins” pizza. Not only was the crust a far cry from often cardboard-like substitutes, but it also was crispy from the hot oven with great texture that left you feeling anything but deprived. The high heat had caramelized the golden raisins to a succulent sweetness, a perfect complement to the tasty crumbled sausage paired with toppings of fennel, Romano, mozzarella and sesame seeds.

Curious to know whether the sausage was available in the area, we learned from our server that it’s made at a farm in Bartlett. The restaurant accepts orders from folks

who’d like to purchase the bulk sausage to use at home.

Yes, it’s that good, and part of the eatery’s mantra of buying local and serving the freshest of ingredients.

In addition to fresh-pressed cocktails, the bar features a thoughtful array of wines, as well as craft beers, including eight on tap. Flights are not available, but the bartender is happy to let people sample before they order.

As for the ambiance, brick walls and wood lend character Suburban Life Media to the two-level dining room off honeycomb, and when we asked the wine bar.

Kristina Kaufman’s dreams take flight with first book

By ALLISON HORNE msleditorial@shawmedia.com As kids, it’s impossible not to have a wild imagination.

Firmly hanging onto her childhood flights of fancy, Lombard native Kristina Kaufman makes them real in the pages of a picture book.

“I would always look at the fireworks on the Fourth of July and think about how amazing it would be to glide up there with them,” Kaufman says. “Especially the gold one that lingers after it blows up in the sky. I thought it would be an amazing view up there.”

“I Soar” is the tale of a young boy and his journey through the sky, which includes fireworks, birds and all the other blissful things that can be found a mile high.

Find her book What: Lombard native Kristina Kaufman writes debut children’s book “I Soar” Cost & more info: $14.95; www. amazon.com, kristinakaufman isoar.wordpress.com

“It’s really to get kids to think and use their imagination, and get (drawn) in by the illustration,” Kaufman says.

“It’s an escape book for kids.”

It is Kaufman’s debut work, and she admits she has learned a lot about what the process is like from start to published book.

“It was hard, especially with a picture book,” Kaufman says, noting Corey R. Tabor did the illustrations. “Every word

“If you keep trying, it’ll happen. That’s what the book represents to me.”

Kristina Kaufman counts. It took several months to write and rewrite and recraft, and the whole process took four to five years.”

Even though it was a difficult process, Kaufman already has another children’s book in the works. Like her first, the inspiration sprang from her childhood — she wrote the original concept in seventh grade.

At the time, her teacher made a big deal about it and said it could have been published in a high school newspaper, so Kaufman held onto it.

She is no stranger to youth

and their imaginations — Kaufman has spent years studying to be a teacher, and is currently working on her fourth degree. She has a bachelor’s from Illinois State University, her MBA from North Central and another degree in education from Illinois State, where she is working toward her doctorate in education.

She has accomplished much in her life already, but her first book marks a personal milestone.

“It’s not about the money,” Kaufman says. “It’s about pursuing what you want to pursue.

It may take a long time, but if you keep trying, it’ll happen.

That’s what the book represents to me.”

She signs her books in fitting fashion: “May all your dreams take flight.”

MARCH, 20

How to keep kids entertained all summer long S

ummer vacation often starts with high expectations.

Children are excited about the prospect of fun days outdoors playing with friends, while parents anxiously await relaxing months without the responsibilities of school and extracurricular clubs. But once summer vacation arrives and the first few days have passed, parents often find that the litany of cheers and giggles transform into a chorus of “I’m bored.”

Many parents pore over ideas that will keep their children busy throughout the summer.

Many activities that come to mind tend to be expensive, so if cutting costs is a priority, parents might need to think outside the box to come up with entertaining ideas that won’t break the bank.

Camp Summer camp is a popular way for kids to spend their summers, but many camps are

expensive.The American Camp Association has found that overnight camps can cost anywhere from $325 to $780 a week. Day camp fees may be $100 to $275 per week. Parents who send their children to camp for an entire season might pay anywhere from $3,000 to $9,000 for the seven- to nine-week program.

Parents looking for an alternative to costly camps should consider local programs that offer summer activities. Libraries,

Summer Camp for Children with Physical Disabilities Offered in Countryside, Chicago and Lake Zurich! he Center for Independence through Conductive Education will be ofering intensive motor training summer camps to children with physical disabilities between 1 yr and 10 years old. Our highly trained staf of conductive education teachers, physical and occupational therapists focus on improving the child’s living skills like walking, sitting, eating and dressing independently… but they also ensure the program is fun and motivating! **For more information on Conductive Education and Summer Camp visit our website at www.Center-for-independence.org or call (708) 588-0833.

100 W. Plainield Rd., Countryside, IL 60525.

schools and childcare centers may have programs that run the length of summer and are considerably less expensive than more formal camps. A YMCA or even a swim club may also put together activities. Parents whose children attend afterschool sporting classes, such as karate or soccer, may find that the organizations offer a camp or summer program.

Day Trips If a parent is off for the summer, then day trips may be a possibility. Schedule a few day trips to different locations that the kids are excited to see.

Newspapers routinely print “Go See It” or “Just Go” listings that highlight local events. The family can gather around the table and decide which outings would be interesting and then mark them on the calendar.

Some parents purchase season passes to amusement parks and take the kids several times over the summer. In either case, bring snacks and lunch from home when possible to keep costs in check.

Kid Swap Chances are many of your neighbors are also facing the same difficulties as they try to find ways for kids to spend their summer afternoons. Parents can get together and set up a schedule for entertaining the kids. For example, one parent is responsible for the whole lot one day, while the next day another parent takes a turn. This

gives parents the opportunity to take a break from parental responsibilities and enjoy some quiet time. And for the children, time spent in a pool, watching movies, playing video games, or riding bikes is often more enjoyable with friends in tow.

Fun Projects

Children often want to feel useful, and may enjoy the responsibility of some easy tasks in and around the house -- so long as the tasks are fun. Washing the car with a hose and a bucket of sudsy water is a fun way to cool off during the hot summer days and get a chore done.

While parents should not expect a perfect job, they can rest assured that the kids will have at least an hour of fun in the sun and water.

Set aside a patch of the yard that children can turn into their own personal gardens. Encourage digging in this area and provide seeds or seedling plants as well as kid-sized gardening tools. Each day the kids can check on the progress of their gardens.

Some home-improvement and craft stores sponsor free learning activities for children. They can be held in the morning or afternoon and will teach interesting skills that can be put to use again at home.

Summer vacations are soon to arrive, and parents can be armed with a list of enjoyable – yet inexpensive – ways to keep kids busy.

Which Neuropathy Symptoms Do You Suffer From?

Press Publications • mysuburbanlife.com • Friday, March 29, 2013 • ED

f you suffer from a single one of these torturous symptoms- numbness, tingling, burning or sharp nerve pain, then read on ..A new breakthrough treatment could change your life.

Neuropathy can affect every part of your life - walking, sitting ,sleeping, socializing, your ability to enjoy your relationships and so much more.

If you have tired “everything” (Anodyne therapy, physical therapy, Lyrica, Neurotin or other meds ) without getting the results you want then this may be the most important information that you ever read. There is a simple reason that most treatments fail....because at best they only cover up your symptoms and do not heal your damaged nerves.

Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects people in every walk of life. It is estimated that 20 million Amer-

I

icans and 60% of diabetics suffer from this disorder.

There are many kinds of neuropathy, the symptoms of which include burning, tingling, weakness, numbness, paralysis, and dull to excruciating pain - especially in the hands and feet.

Although many neuropathies have no known causes, neuropathy is often associated with other conditions.

Examples are: Diabetes, shingles, toxins, autoimmune disorders, bulging discs that compress on nerves, spinal stenosis, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and poor nutrition. Statin drugs and chemotherapy can also cause neuropathy.

For the last two years Dr. Susan Kelenyi, DC of Glen Ellyn, IL has worked extensively with peripheral neuropathy patients. Dr. Kelenyi describes peripheral neuropathy as damage to

the nerves, which transmits information from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. “This can result in pain, loss of feeling, and inability to control muscles, such as dificulty with walking. As with any other condition, there is no “one size its all” remedy for those suffering from neuropathies and treatment may vary depending on the cause and severity.” However, many individuals can and do ind relief using natural remedies.

And this is where Dr. Kelenyi steps in.

Of the many causes of peripheral neuropathies”, says Dr. Kelenyi, “ a major one comes from a metabolic

Peripheral Neuropathy If you suffer from any of these symptoms Numbness, Tingling, Burning, Sharp Nerve pain into feet.

DESPITE WHAT MANY DOCTORS MAY TELL YOU PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY CAN BE EFFECTIVELY TREATED If you have tried “everything... (Lyrica®, Neurotin®, physical therapy, orthotics for your shoes, even injections) without getting the lasting results you want then you may be the perfect candidate for our Neuropathy Program.

If you are tired of the individualized merry-go-round of cover up care, then you need to try my program.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

If you’ve been suffering for a while and you’re tired of treatments that only give you temporary relief, then I may have the answer you’ve been waiting for.

Dr. Susan Kelenyi, Chiropractic Physician, is offering a risk risk-free introduction to this program. For a limited time you will receive my

Qualifying Examination for only $65 if you call before April 11, 2013.

condition. You cannot drug your way out of a metabolic condition. It requires a change in lifestyle.”

Dr. Kelenyi says “Diet is crucial when addressing peripheral neuropathy, especially in diabetics and autoimmune disorders. Harmful foods to be avoided include alcohol, sugar, processed foods, fast foods, junk foods, sodas of all types, foods sprayed with pesticides, and trans-fatty acids. Sweeteners and additives contained in diet soda and processed foods such as MSG and aspartame can negatively impact the nervous system.”

As a chiropractor with advanced training in Functional Medicine and Functional Neurology, Dr. Kelenyi performs speciic metabolic and neurologic tests to help determine what is causing the problem. There are a few primary types of neuropathies: Large or small diameter or both as well as motor. If jerking is involved then it can be as much a problem in the brain due to trans-neural degeneration as it is in the peripheral nerve. A thorough and comprehensive exam ensures an accurate diagnosis.

Dr Kelenyi states that her peripheral neuropathy recovery program is a combination of different cutting edge techniques and protocols. “ We may use electrical stimulation with 7.83 Hz frequencies, exercise with oxygen, vibration, spinal decompression, cold laser therapy along with brain balance therapies With this layered approach we can “wake up” the nerves so they can functional normally again and re-educate nerve pathways that have gone hay-wire. “While we wake up your nerves, we will support their need for fuel and activation.”

Dr. Kelenyi says “Our solutions are non-drug, non-surgical approaches, that are researched based and determined by prior clinical success. The reason we achieve excellent outcomes is because we take both a metabolic and neurological approach in our program.”

She says its a very rewarding way of practicing. “We get chronically ill people coming from all over the Chicagoland area, even out of state, to our clinic. The most important thing for these patients is results. We get results.”

Travel ideas for active seniors hose who have said goodbye to the work-a-day grind now have many hours to settle down and relax. People who have continually put off vacations in lieu of work responsibilities may now have all the time they need to explore the world.

Traveling for seniors can be rewarding and relaxing. Those with a substantial retirement nest egg have numerous destinations at their disposal. Mature vacationers travel more frequently and stay longer than any other age group. Travel ranks among the top leisure activities for men and women over 50, according to the Web site Suddenly Senior.

Seniors can find several travel advantages at their disposal. Also, thanks to special senior discounts, travel may be even more affordable than first expected.

While certain destinations are not always practical for certain age brackets, there are many places to which seniors can visit comfortably and enjoy a wealth of memories.

• Theme parks: Although theme parks may seem carved out entirely for the adventure-seekers, there are many other more placid activities that would appeal to those who prefer to keep their feet firmly on the ground rather than looping through the air on a rocket-propelled coaster. With animal preserves, water parks, fine dining, and a bevy of hotels either in the park or directly on the outskirts, theme parks provide many

T

activities for older travelers. Although theme parks require a lot of walking, many provide wheelchairs or motorized scooters for those who need to get off of their feet. They also make a great option for seniors who will be traveling with the entire family, including children.

• Beach resorts: Provided flying is medically safe, a beachside vacation can be the ideal trip for seniors looking for the utmost in relaxation. For those who have passports, the possibilities are endless. Those who prefer to remain on relatively domestic soil can retreat to Puerto Rico, south Florida, the California coast, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

• Cruising: Cruising is a preferred vacation choice for the 50+ set because it offers the convenience of an all-inclusive package and transportation all in one. With the myriad activities offered on board, cruises are a versatile vacation option for seniors. Also, there is no need to worry about traveling far for meals and other entertainment options, as everything is self-contained on the cruise ship. For more active seniors who enjoy the daily getaway, excursions

in ports of call can provide the variety desired.

• Guided tours: Seniors who want to experience a piece of history can sign up for tour packages backed by reputable companies. The tours may involve train or bus travel, and various attractions will be visited. At the end of the tour, individuals can choose to extend the vacation by checking into a hotel nearby.

• RV trips: Another self-contained vacation that is entirely up to the people traveling is vacationing by recreational vehicle. Seniors can customize their routes depending on which areas they want to see. Companies like Cruise America RV enable people to rent an RV so they needn’t worry about the expense of buying one outright. However, should

RV traveling become addictive, there always is the option of buying a camper later on.

Setting an itinerary and then establishing the pace enables travelers to tour the country or cross the border as desired. From beaches to national parks, many areas offer RV hook-up areas and amenities.

• Exotic tour: Seniors who were never able to afford or spare the time for an extensive vacation may now want to visit those exotic locations that have beckoned for years. Now could be the time to book a ticket for Europe and visit all of the cities that have made the history books. Those looking for even more adventure can travel to the South Pacific and explore tropical islands. Others may want to go “down under” and experience the rugged Outback or the culture of Australian city centers.

With a bevy of free time and fewer restrictions holding them back, seniors could be ready for the next great travel adventure.

fewer and fewer people seem to pick up the phone and make calls as they once did. Instead, they’re texting and updating social media posts. They’re also e-mailing one another. Older adults who have no access to this technology could be left out of the mix. This is a way for seniors to stay close to family.

• Convenient check-ins: At times when a full-blown conversation may not be practical, having a quick method to check in with a loved one can make social media advantageous. Men and women can send a quick text to their parents to find out how they’re feeling or if they need anything. Such ready access can provide some peace of mind to adults concerned about their elderly parents.

• Online shopping: Seniors who don’t get out much or who cannot safely drive a vehicle might not be able to shop as often as they would like. Having Internet access and experience with browsing Web sites enables older men and women to shop from reputable Web sites who ship items directly to the house. With the vast array of items now sold online, anyone can have their choice of items and not be forced to settle because of their age.

• Improved feelings of well-being: Avoiding feelings of isolation and loneliness can benefit older men and women. A study by Dr. Shelia Cotten, a sociologist and associate professor from the University of Alabama, Birmingham, revealed that Internet use was associated with a 30 percent decrease in depressive symptoms among older adults who used it regularly, while other studies have shown similarly impressive results.

• Working the mind: Going online, chatting on social media or simply writing an e-mail works areas of the brain. Typing also helps improve manual dexterity.

These factors can be beneficial for seniors looking to stay sharp.

Using the Internet as a form of communication is a growing trend among the 50-plus demographic. It enables them to stay connected with family and the world in a variety of ways.

And at the Altenheim, you’ll be able to protect it with rent that is reasonable.

But the Altenheim is so much more... It is surrounded with beautiful grounds and wildlife, seniors who look out for one another and apartment selections and activities to suit your active lifestyle.

You’ll be as happy as a lark here; come visit us to find out why.

he Internet and related technologies have been a game-changer for people of all ages. The instant connectivity made possible by these advancements has been valued by young adults and children for years. But now social media is attracting an entirely different demographic – seniors.

More than just a method of channeling information to the comfort of home, the Internet and the various social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, are ways for older adults to stay connected with friends and family. For seniors faced with mobility issues, social media helps to bring the world to them.

Despite the stereotype that seniors do not want to learn to use new technology, many seniors are getting on board. Findings from the Pew Research Institute show that social networking use among Internet users ages 50 to 64 grew by 88 percent between April 2009 and May 2010. The research also found that the percentage of those 65 and older using social media grew from 13 percent to 26 percent during that same stretch. Although young adults continue to be the primary users of social media, older users are gaining momentum and surpassing youth in the number of new users.

Individuals who are not yet utilizing social media to manage their communication efforts may be inspired by these benefits to doing so.

• Photo and video sharing: The majority of photos being taken today are digital, as fewer people are making prints of their photos.

Rather, they are being shared via e-mail or through social media sites. Grandparents can see their grandchildren in photos in real time. Also, if they’ve managed apps that enable video sharing, they can view and chat with relatives who live miles away, just as if they were sitting across the table.

• Conversations with family: In a world where families are no longer centrally located, communication may be lacking. Despite the prevalence of mobile phones,

The Warriors made it to a Class 4A sectional final despite being just a 94 13 seed. They won’t sneak up on anyone this season.

Strikeouts by pitcher David Senior Kevin JohnCericola last year to go with a son will likely be the No. 0.90 ERA 2 starter after Cericola and will bat second in the order behind Battaglia.

Junior T.J. Case should also contribute to the pitching staff thanks to mid 80s velocity.

Willowbrook was fourth in the West Suburban Gold last season and will be tested early in its quest to move up in the conference. Defending Gold champ Hinsdale South hosts the Warriors for a doubleheader on Saturday, and the Warriors will host the series finale on Monday.

It’s a tough early conference series considering Willowbrook just played its first game of the season on Wednesday, a 5-0 loss against Batavia.

Cericola took the loss on the mound and the Warriors managed just three hits. Case, junior Jake Cady and senior Rob Huette each pitched in relief.

Brian Johnson, Gabriel Gage, Tyler Vavrek and Jeremy Kucik also were in the batting lineup for the opener.

Before taking on Hinsdale South, the Warriors will host Metea Valley on Friday.

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LOMBARD — Glenbard East coach Joel Pelland doesn’t set goals or expectations for his team, but it’s clear the second-year coach thinks highly of this year’s squad.

The Rams are loaded with seniors and returning starters from a team that posted a winning record in the DuPage Valley Conference and made it to a regional final.

“We’re senior heavy this year,” Pelland said. “We’ve got a couple juniors that might get into the mix. We should be pretty competitive.”

Senior pitcher Nick Vichio, a St. Louis University recruit, will be a key part of the pitching staff.

“He’s definitely a heck of a talent and a heck of an arm,” Pelland said. “I would put him up against anybody that we play.”

East has plenty of depth on the mound behind Vichio.

Tommy Mogovero, who had the game-winning RBI in the win over Morton, will also see some time in the lineup.

The Rams should have both some power and speed

in the lineup. Pelland thinks the offense is well-rounded, making for a balanced team.

“We’re pretty diverse,” Pelland said. “We’ve got a lot of solid arms on the mound.

Our bats, we have some guys that have a little pop and have the potential to go gap to gap with the ball, but we also have some speed as well.”

BASEBALL PREVIEW | ADDISON TRAIL

New-look Blazers hope to build on strong 2012

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com ADDISON — The Blazers are coming off a 23-win season that included a second-place finish in the West Suburban Gold, but this year’s team will look very different.

Most of the nucleus, especially on the pitching side, of that squad is gone. AT will rely on a few seniors and a number of juniors to replicate last year’s success.

“We lost seven of our nine starters,” said coach Steve

Gilliam. “We’d like to be where we were last year, but each group is different.”

Senior catcher Nick Rybarczyk, a Southern Illinois signee, will be a huge part of the team, but he’s going to miss a few weeks of the season because of a knee injury. The third-year varsity player has a strong arm behind the plate and will bat in the middle of the order once he returns.

Other senior returners include Jordan Garcia, who was also a standout for the basketball team in the winter, Brad-

ley Schonder, Rocco Constabile and Anthony Infantino.

The Blazers will also be without a pair of starters due to suspension for a third of the season.

“It’s a chance for the young guys to step up and get some experience,” Gilliam said. “I think we’ll be a lot better by

the end of this year because some of the guys are juniors and they’re going to get some varsity experience and we’ll get those suspension and injury guys back.”

Among the juniors, Joe Amato, Frank Amato and Matt Piotrowski will all see time on the mound and figure to play big roles.

AT lost its season opener Wednesday at Romeoville, 6-1, which was the first time the Blazers had been outside for any spring activity.

Willowbrook The Warriors beat Glenbard West 13-2 in Glen Ellyn on Tuesday in the season opener.

Sophomores Sam Schmidt and Alyssa Ressinger stole the offensive show. Schmidt was 4-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs. Ressinger was 4-for-5 with four RBIs. Montini Morganne Evans and Lauren Trojnar each had three hits and stole two bases in the Broncos’ 12-2 win over Northside Prep on Tuesday.

Both games were played with 30-minute halves.

Juniors Taylor Hallcox and Kelly Ravenscraft drew compliments from Overbey for their play in the back.

Senior goalkeeper Veronica Fairbairn, an all-conference and all-sectional pick last year, has helped organize the defense.

The loss to Benet was a disappointment for the

Rams, but getting a game against quality opposition was essential with the DuPage Valley Conference opener against Naperville Central looming on Tuesday.

“That was a good tester for us,” DeJong said. “A lot of them are inexperienced in the DVC so that was a good I guess you could say awakening for them to prepare them for it.

“They’re way more mature than where they should be for their experience so we’re really excited about that,” said coach Kent Overbey. “Especially for how limited we’ve been in practice I definitely think we’re way ahead for how inexperienced we are.”
