Ten-year-old John Tischke of Hinsdale battled through a week of pneumonia and dehydration to create a claymation for a contest at the Westmont Film Festival last month.

Despite winning third place for his animated film and second place for contributing to another film as part of a group project, John still was his own toughest critic. He went up against about 20 entries ranging in age from elementary through college.

“I was really happy but sort of disappointed I didn’t win first,” the Madison School fourth-grader said.

John has been making films since first grade and drawing since the age of 2. His love of drawing and animation led him to taking classes at the Zephyr Academy of Art in Clarendon Hills for the past two years.

“He started picking up the concepts of perspective and shadowing at what I thought was a really early age,” said his father, Jim. “He just kind of ran with it since then.”

The claymation John entered featured a “war” between Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny to see who was best.

Titled “Rivalry,” the film depicts a series of comical pranks and deceptions the two holiday characters pull on each other to ultimately claim the top spot in the holiday food chain.

It took him about a month to finish the two-minute movie after some trial and error with initial plans.

“At first I was just sculpting things because I couldn’t get an

“ A Doctor’s Confession to the Village of Downers Grove” Dear Friend, Confessions are diicult, but I wanted to set the record straight. In order to do this, I irst need to give you some history.

A few years ago, I met Kelly. She had been sufering from debilitating cluster headaches, a severe form of migraines that occur daily. She was failing out of school and had become depressed due to her feeling of helplessness and unrelenting pain.

She sought treatment from neurologists, ophthalmologists, dentists, ENT’s, and was only ofered an array of drugs with awful side efects. Finally, she was referred to a chiropractor. Within a week, her headaches were gone. She has been free of these clusters for years now, and illed with regret only that she had not gone to this doctor sooner. his is where I come in; I helped Kelly with these headaches, as I have helped many patients with various health problems. Here’s what some of them have said: “My hearing was nearly gone...He gave me my hearing back!” (G.V.)

“I could barely run on my knee...I am working on my qualifying time for the Olympics...” (T.H.) “My Back pain kept me from taking care of my family...I’ve recently returned to work.”

(R.S.)

Several times a day my patients thank me for helping them with their health problems. But I can’t really take credit. My confession is that I’ve never healed anyone of anything. What I do is perform a spe-

ciic spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself. We get tremendous results. It’s as simple as that.

Although Chiropractic faces many skeptics, the studies speak for themselves, like the Virginia study that showed 99% of patients who saw a Chiropractor were satisied with the results. Studies show that chiropractic can double your immune capacity naturally, which keeps you from getting sick, saving money on medical bills. here is no reason for you to sufer even one more day, so I am now ofering the initial Exam, Consultation and X-Rays for only $20. his is a $250 value so I can only accept a limited number of patients.

My goal is to help as many people heal themselves as possible. Call me at 630-318-6865 and see if I can help you.

Main Street Chiropractic is located at 5157 Main St., Suite 200 in Downers Grove. I look forward to adding your success story to the list!

Dr. Mike DeCubellis, D. C.

TAX TIPS

ES TAXES FOR THE IRS – AND FOR IL – TOO! Just when you think you are done with 2012 taxes, it is now 2013. The IRS requires that you pay at least 90% of the tax due or 100% of last year’s taxes to avoid penalty. You can owe up to $1000 without problems with the IRS. Many of us pay ES tax on a quarterly basis to avoid being short at tax time.

This is the tird year that IL taxes are 5%. What this means is that if you owe IL over $500 in 2013, even if you are retired and have investment income, you might have to pay IL ES tax as well as to the IRS. The first payment for both is due on or before Monday, April 15th, which is coming soon.

STRAUSS TAX SERVICE can prepare your taxes and compute your Estimated Taxes for the IRS and IL. We can answer your questions, help you with tax strategies for 2013 and save you money. We are located at 624 62nd Street, Downers Grove and are open from 9 AM - 9 PM daily.

“Storm spotters are often the earliest warning signs when it comes to severe weather and can see things even before warnings are issued,” Weiss added.

While the village has been holding this severe weather program for the past few years, it was typically not widely publicized — in past years in what was strictly for members of the Westmont Emergency Management Agency, a group of civilian volunteers who assist the Westmont Police and Fire Department in emergency situations.

But with the uptick in severe weather over the last few years, the village has expanded the program to the public,

For information on the Severe Weather Training Seminar, call the Westmont Fire Department at 630-981-6400.

Weiss said.

Glenn Sharkey, a member of the village’s EMA, said the training offered in the seminar is invaluable.

“Through our training, we have the same access to radar and other technology that the news people have when it comes to looking at storms, and how to read them,” Sharkey said.

Weiss said the most important thing that residents can do in the event of severe weather is heed to warnings.

The village operates a storm siren system, which is activated when severe weather is spotted within five miles of the village. Those sirens are the most effective way to alert the community, Weiss said, but often times aren’t taken serious.

“When we activate the warning sirens, the threat is very serious, and many times residents either don’t take them seriously or don’t know what to do when the sirens go off,” Weiss said. “The community needs to understand,

WESTMONT — With spring’s arrival comes the threat of severe weather.

In an effort to train and prepare the community for the dangers of severe storms, the Westmont Fire Department will host a Severe Weather Training Seminar at 7 p.m.

Monday at the Westmont Fire Department Headquarters, 6015 S. Cass Ave. Westmont Fire Chief Dave Weiss said the seminar will inform residents and business people who work in the village about severe storms, the differences between watches and warnings, alerts and how they can prepare themselves and others.

“The program will train residents on what to look for, who they should notify, and what they can do to protect themselves and their families,” Weiss said.

National Weather Service representatives will also offer training on how to spot

Lisle man wins ‘Face Off’ reality show

By DAVID HEITZ dheitz@shawmedia.com

J. Anthony Kosar is $100,000 richer and gets a lot more phone calls these days, but other than that, the Westmont-based special effects artist doesn’t anticipate his life changing too much.

Kosar, of Lisle, was declared the winner of the Syfy Channel reality show “Face Off” on March 26.

“It has been non-stop phone calls since the final episode aired,” Kosar said. “It’s been an awesome experience.”

The competition pitted Kosar against 11 other make-up

and special effects artists, with competitions having the artists design and produce masks and other creations.

For winning, Kosar, 27, took home $100,000, a new Fiat 500 and the opportunity to be a guest lecturer at the “Make up for Ever Academy” in New York and Paris.

“The prizes still won’t be coming for a couple months yet,” Kosar said. “I guess they didn’t want me driving around in the new car that I won before the show aired.”

In April 2011, Kosar opened the doors to his first commercial space, his very own gallery-studio, school and work-

Irritable Bowel, Celiac, Crohn’s or Colitis?

Are you afraid to leave your house due to an unpredictable bowel?

Have you tried diferent treatments but continue to sufer?

Do you know the essentials for a healthy digestive system?

Have you given up and decided to just live with it? he digestive system assimilates food (carbs, fats and proteins) to produce energy. It breaks down food into nutrient forms that your body can absorb. It uses enzymes, good bacteria and hydrochloric acid to break down food to a usable form. Your gut is a barrier, a tube that starts in your mouth, continues as your esophagus, small intestine, large intestine and rectum. 80% of your immune system is in your gut. When you break down the barrier (gut lining), toxins can “leak” into the blood stream leading to an immune response, inlammation and food allergies. Hippocrates, the father of medicine said… “look to the gut, there will you ind the origin of almost all human illness.”

Hi, my name is Dr. Jefrey E. Forzley with Lemont Natural Healthcare. I am a chiropractic physician and a holistic practitioner. I am passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions. I have been in practice for 28 years. As a holistic practitioner I evaluate the nervous system, immune system, endocrine system (hormones), diet essentials (Neuro-‐Metabolic Care), manage the underlying cause and use natural therapies to manage digestive disorders. here are many essentials required for proper digestion.

Let’s talk about a few…

Zinc is necessary to make hydrochloric acid (HCL). HCL is needed to break down food (protein) in the stomach and for production of methyl groups. Methyl groups turn on tumor suppressor genes and turn of oncogenes leading to potential cancer growth. If HCL is deicient, this results in poor digestion and a many imbalances due to a deiciency of methyl groups. HCL deiciency also leads to growth of pathological bacteria like H. Pylori, which can cause gastritis, stomach ulcers and possibly stomach cancer.

Probiotics (good bacteria) are normally found in the gut.

Optimal levels are needed for a proper functioning digestive system. hese probiotics are also part of your immune

system. hey play an important role in the protective barrier in your gut. Your gut makes up 80% of your immune system due to this barrier system. Antibiotics kill pathologic bacteria and infections but they also kill good bacteria and cause gut dysbiosis (imbalance). his dysbiosis can lead to pathologic bacterial, yeast and parasitic infections as well as food allergies.

Digestive system inlammation is associated with IBS, Crohn’s, Celiac and Ulcerative Colitis. It is due to stress, poor diet, toxins and food allergies. Digestive inlammation leads to production of cytokines (inlammatory cells). hese cytokines travel in the blood to the brain and inlame the brain cells. he brain (mesencephalon) in turn controls the digestive system. his leads to a vicious cycle resulting in an inlammatory cascade which exponentially worsens over time. Successfully managing digestive conditions involves balancing the nervous system, digestive system and immune system as well as improving the diet, decreasing gut inlammation and detoxifying the body.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a digestive disorder that includes abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating and alternating constipation and diarrhea. he cause is unknown but theories include toxic overload, intestinal infections, inlammation from stress and poor diet generalized condition of the digestive system poor signaling from the brain to the digestive system for proper function.

Medications to treat digestive disorders can weaken your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer. hese medications may give you symptom relief but have side efects and DO NOT ADDRESS the UNDERLYING CAUSE of your condition.

Testimonial As someone who lives with chronic nausea, poor digestion and anxiety, I assumed I was out of options when countless doctors told me that there was nothing else they could do for me. hey told me it was likely all in my head. hen I visited Dr. Forzley and he told me from the initial consultation that he was very conident he could help me. I was so excited that I cried. No other doctor has ever been so much on my side. Now, 8 weeks into treatment, I am nausea free, anxiety free and my digestion is normal. I have started living a life I never thought I could live. My body is a machine, slowed and dirtied by processed foods and environmental toxins.

Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is a digestive condition that involves gluten sensitivity like Celiac Disease but is not an autoimmune disorder. It involves digestive symptoms (pain, bloating…), fatigue, joint pains as well as neurologic symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, poor memory, brain fog and diiculty concentrating.

Celiac Disease, Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are autoimmune diseases. An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your body instead of protecting it. here is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders. But you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY and decrease the efects of the tissue destruction.

If you have an autoimmune disease like Celiac, Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis and you do not balance and calm down the autoimmune destruction, your immune system can attack other tissues and cause multiple autoimmune disorders. It is common for people with an autoimmune disorder to have multiple autoimmune diseases for this reason.

Medications are not always the long term answer.

Holistic therapy can manage digestive conditions by: 1) inding and balancing the underlying cause and…

2) using natural therapies that work with your body.

Village to begin cataloging Downers Grove’s historic homes SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA DOWNERS GROVE — The village is conducting a survey of historic homes and buildings in Downers Grove starting this week.

The information collected will be used to create a historical architectural report — which “moves the village one step closer to protecting Downers Grove’s unique and historic residential neighborhoods,” according to a news release from the village.

Researchers will take photographs from the street or sidewalk and recording notes

about the location and architectural detail of homes.

Neighborhood residents will be notified in advance of the visits.

The report is being funded in part by a $15,000 grant from the State of Illinois Certified Local Government program, which recognizes and supports local historic preservation activities.

This activity is being managed by the Community Development Department.

For questions or to contribute information about a house, call 630-434-5515 or email historicsurvey@downers.us.

Dressed to the nines

Q: I’m about to get new dentures. What are some experiences I can expect?

A: As with many new things, the dentures may feel awkward for the first few weeks as the muscles of your face and mouth adapt to keeping the dentures in place. As the soft tissue of your mouth adjusts to the presence of the dentures, there might be some irritation and soreness.

Eating may also cause some difficulty. Your dentist will probably start you off on a diet of soft foods cut into small pieces. As you adjust, though, to your dentures, you should be able to eat all of your favorite foods.

Pronouncing certain words may also be challenging at first, as your tongue learns to work around the dentures. Reading out loud and practicing the difficult words will help you get past that hurdle. Your dentist will also recommend a timetable for getting used to your dentures, particularly at the beginning.

Initially, he may recommend that you wear your dentures while sleeping to help your muscles adapt. And an important thing to remember is to clean them daily to keep them stain -and ordor- free. Remember that regardless of the little inconveniences, your dentures are going to improve your smile and your ability to eat properly. Your dentist will be able to tell you everything you need to know about adjusting to new dentures.

8NEWS BRIEFS Westmont looking for feedback on new survey WESTMONT — The Westmont Community Development Department and consultants Houseal Lavinge have launched a Visual Preference Survey.

Westmont citizens can take the survey to rate images of various business districts and clusters throughout the region.

The goal of the survey is to better gauge community ideals regarding positive aesthetic qualities in the business community, officials said.

“Over the past year, the village has actively engaged the entire community as we work together to plan future improvements,” said Community Development Director Shannon Malik. “This survey allows people to view and rate dozens of images to help us get an idea of the community’s preferences with regard to architectural style, development scale and other factors. Resident participation will serve as a guide to the type and quality of future

development.”

To take the survey, click on the link on the village of Westmont website at www. westmont.illinois.gov/.

District offers tuition rates for all-day kindergarten WESTMONT — The Community Unit School District 201 Board of Education approved a tuition-based all-day kindergarten program at both Manning and Miller schools in Westmont for the 2013-14 school year.

The board approved the program at its March 19 school board meeting. The district previously had only operated a half-day kindergarten program.

Tuition will be $2,000 per year for the full-day program.

Families who do not want to participate in full-day kindergarten will have the option of a half-day program at no cost.

There will be payment plans available for the full-day tuition

so that families may pay the total amount over the school year, officials said.

Kindergarten registration starts Monday, April 15, and continues through Friday, April 19. Families will be asked to select the full-day or half-day option at the time of registration.

For information, contact the District 201 Administrative Office at 630-981-8004.

WESTMONT — Registration is under way for the 2013 Race To The Flag 5K run to benefit St. Jude’s Children’s Hopsital that will be held Sunday, May 26, at Ty Warner Park in Westmont.

This will be the fourth year for the event that benefits St. Jude’s, and the committee is hoping to raise $15,000 and have 500 race participants.

The Race to the Flag Committee consists of community volunteers and members of the Westmont Health and Wellness Committee. The committee meets throughout the year to plan and execute the event.

The race begins near Ty Warner Park and travels through the Oakwood subdivision, and is for all ages and all levels of skill. Runners and walkers are invited.

All proceeds go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

The mission of St. Jude’s is to find cures for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases through research and treatment. And no family ever pays St. Jude for anything, Ramsey said.

St. Mary’s responds to parishioner

Write to us

Dear editor, This is in reply to the St. Mary of Gostyn parishioner with concerns about St. Mary of Gostyn property acquisition information.

St. Mary’s relies on the support of our parishioners and school families. They are the reason our church has been in existence since 1891 and our school since 1897, and the reason we have one of the top endowment funds in the diocese.

We take pride in being a positive contributor to our community and grateful for the support we receive back from the Downers Grove community.

We agree with Mr. Gryl that it is imperative that we are open and accountable in addition to being communicative. It’s why our parish is so strong.

Because we want to keep our parishioners informed, we take steps to ensure information is accessible to our parishioners and the general public. For example, we have our 2012 Facilities Strategic Planning Summary & Report located on the homepage of www. stmarygostyn.org; our financial reports are accessible from our homepage as well.

We post pertinent information in our bulletins, which is handed out to church attendees after every Mass, available in the church entrances and our rectory offices and also accessible on www.stmarygostyn.org.

We want to hear from you. Letters must be no more than 300 words. They must include your first and last name, town and a phone number for verification.

We may edit them for clarity, accuracy and style.

Email letters to letters@ mysuburbanlife.com. The deadline is 4 p.m. Thursday for the following week’s paper.

In the August 12, 2012, bulletin we stated, “Recently, the property owner of 445 Gierz Street has approached the parish to see if there was interest in purchasing this property as it is neighboring our campus.

This purchase clearly fits within the framework of the recently completed FSP. The Diocese of Joliet, Father Ernie, the Parish Council, and the Parish Finance Committee have all approved moving forward on the purchase of this property.”

Much research, thought and prayer goes into decisions made by the St. Mary of Gostyn administration. Through strategic planning and the support of our parishioners and school families, the intention of every decision is to make our parish better and stronger with the goal to help more people.

Our pastor, parish administrator, principal and staff are all available to answer any concerns; in fact, we hope our

Woodridge police holding trivia night for Special Olympics fundrasier

By DAVID HEITZ dheitz@shawmedia.com WOODRIDGE — Residents who have a knack for answering trivia questions have a chance this week to show off their knowledge while raising money for a good cause.

The Woodridge Police Department will hold its annual Team Trivia Night, a fundraiser for Special Olympics Illinois, at 6 p.m. Friday, April 5, at Bobak’s Signature Events, 6440 Double Eagle Drive in Woodridge.

The cost for the event is $25 per person, or $200 for a 10-person team, with the proceeds going to support the Illinois Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics.

The event is organized by Woodridge police officer Daniel McIntyre, who has been involved in numerous fundraisers over the past couple of years to benefit Special Olympics Illinois.

He and another Woodridge officer, Sgt. Tom Stefanson, participated in the Law En-

forcement Torch Run Super Plunge in February, when they and other teammates took 24 dips over 24 hours in the icy waters of Lake Michigan. They raised more than $8,300.

McIntyre said the Woodridge community has been very supportive of the Special Olympics fundraisers over the years, and more than $15,000 was raised in 2012 by the department.

“Not only does the program bring in funding for Special Olympics Illinois, but it raises awareness to the program and benefits young athletes for years to come,” McIntyre said.

Trivia of various topics will begin at 7 p.m. Each team will consist of 10 members.

The event will consist of 10 rounds with 10 questions per round and several different categories such as sports, television, movies, video games and pop culture. A first-place award will be presented to the winning team.

In addition to the trivia

By Audrey G. Freeman, Au.D., Dr. of Audiology Unfortunately, the ramifications for leaving hearing loss unaddressed can be significant.

Numerous studies link unmanaged hearing loss to a wide range of physical and emotional conditions, including depression, impaired memory and ability to learn new tasks, increased risk to personal safety, reduced job performance and earning power, and diminished psychological and overall health.

and Generation Xers. Because most hearing loss can be managed with hearing aids, the institute also is encouraging those with hearing loss to be fitted with hearing aids when appropriate.

Several studies have considered the relationship between hearing loss and cognitive function. One such study, conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins and the National Institute on Aging and published in Archives of Neurology, found that seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing.

The study also found that the more hearing loss they had, the greater their likelihood of developing dementia.

Hearing loss is tough as its own problem, but it is often accompanied by other health issues which make the need to seek hearing help even more important.

Diabetes: The Better Hearing Institute (BHI) is urging people with diabetes to get their hearing tested.

Hearing loss is about twice as common in people with diabetes compared to those without the disease according to the National Institute of Health. Yet,unlike eye exams, hearing health examinations are often overlooked in the routine regimen of care for people with diabetes. Research also suggests that by keeping diabetes under control, people can help minimize potential diabetes-related hearing damage.

Mild Depression and/or Anxiety: The Better Hearing Institute (BHI) is also advising people with symptoms of depression and/ or anxiety to get their hearing checked and to address any diagnosed hearing loss. People with

untreated hearing loss may be at an increased risk of depression.

“We’ve known for a long time that depression and hearing loss often exist together, particularly in people with untreated hearing loss,”says Sergei Kochkin, PhD, Executive Director of BHI.“In fact, when left unaddressed, hearing loss can lead to isolation and other emotional conditions that can affect both quality of life and mental health. But we also know that by treating hearing loss, the risk of associated depression and other mental health issues lessen significantly.”

“Depression knows no boundaries,”explains Kochkin.“It can affect anyone and can be brought on by any number of life factors, including chronic stress. By addressing hearing loss with hearing aids, we minimize the stress and isolation that hearing loss can bring, and we enable those with hearing loss to become more resilient against depression.”

Dementia/Alzheimer’s: As evidence increases showing that there may be a connection between hearing loss and dementia, the Better Hearing Institute is recommending hearing checks among Baby Boomers

In an effort to improve the quality of life for people with Alzheimer’s disease, Better Hearing Institute advocates that hearing checks, hearing healthcare, and hearing aids when appropriate, be included in their regimen of care. According to the Institute, unaddressed hearing loss can present an added, unnecessary strain on individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, and also on caregivers who suffer from hearing loss themselves.

No matter what your health situation is, call your local, professional audiologist to have your hearing evaluated. You have nothing to lose. ~adapted with permission from the Better Hearing Institute

Restaurant reviews

Melina’s isn’t your ordinary Italian restaurant There are a lot of Italian restaurants in the Chicago area — across the country, really — and it’s easy to assume a sort of chain-restaurant sameness at all of them.

Like most people, we enjoy Italian cuisine, but we rarely have an experience that really differentiates a spot from all the others.

Melina’s Trattoria on York Road in Elmhurst does stand out, though. Also a Nancy’s Pizzeria location, Melina’s really stands out when you explore its other dinner entrees.

It doesn’t just offer a standard spaghetti; there’s the Spaghetti Tetrazzini (with chicken and mushrooms in a cream sauce) and the Spaghetti Antonio (with chicken breast and sun-dried tomatoes).

For meatier entrees, there are sections with veal dishes (such as Veal Saltimboca, with prosciutto and fresh mozzarella), chicken (the Pollo alla Vesuvio sounded tempting), fish, steak and pork.

They’ve also got a “create

your own pasta” section on the menu with a choice of 10 kinds of pasta and 13 types of sauces. Combine it with a side of meatballs or sausage, and you can have just about any kind of pasta dish you can think of.

The stuffed artichoke appetizer on the menu looked appetizing to me, but my companion, who almost never passes a chance to order bruschetta, insisted we go that route. My goodness, that was a good call.

Village Theatre Guild takes on explosive drama with ‘A Hatful of Rain’

By ALLISON HORNE msleditorial@shawmedia.com For most theaters, “A Hatful of Rain” might be a little bit of a stretch in terms of content, but taking risks and bringing unique performances to the stage is something Village Theatre Guild of Glen Ellyn does on a regular basis. It’s no different for the newest production, directed by VTG newcomer Jeni Dees of South Elgin.

“I’ve always wanted to direct here, because they put the art and creativity first,” Dees says. “It’s a very small theater, so it’s not like they’re focused on picking the almighty dollar and picking the shows that will sell well. They trust the directors to pick (the) pieces.”

“A Hatful of Rain” is set in 1955, and focuses on Johnny Pope, a Korean War veteran who’s returned home. Injured during the war, he was put on morphine, a habit he can’t kick. His hidden addiction

— coupled with relationship problems with his wife and money issues with his brother — evolves into a crazy whirlwind of a life that draws disapproval from his father.

“It’s kind of a soap opera with so many different story levels,” Dees says. “It’s clearly a drama. The thing is that there is so much about the character relationships, which is what drew me to the show in the first place.”

Woodridge actor Tom Viskocil plays John Pope Sr., the father who further complicates the family dynamic. His problems include a son addicted to drugs and another son who promises him money and backs out. It’s not exactly something everyone has to deal with throughout their lifetime, so Viskocil has found himself drawing some traits from people he knows in real life.

“I’ve never actually had any family or relatives involved in drugs or addiction at all, but the script ap-

pealed to me,” Viskocil says. “I got the guy. I could hear him speaking.

I’ve known so many people like him — my father was even somewhat like him.”

Many of the story’s themes still resonate.

“You can take this and plug it into modern day,” Dees says. “It’s something you can relate to today — even though it is set in 1955.”

The script by Michael Gazzo was ground-breaking at the time. It addressed post-traumatic stress disorder before it even had a name, as well as drug addiction and family issues affecting returning veterans.

“I had teachers that were in Vietnam and uncles that were in World War II,” Dees says. “They don’t talk about it. It was a different time. Even nowadays, it’s something that doesn’t get talked about.

I’m hoping we can shed a little bit of light on these situations, along with the relationships that go along with them.”

“A Hatful of Rain” sets up a tense triangle between Celia (Jennifer Bartolo), Johnny (Garrett Ard) and Polo (Edward Perry, in the background).

Westmont resident Nick Piker received scholarship offers from six college football programs before choosing Holy Cross.

HINSDALE — Right now, Nick Piker is excited about being a thrower for Hinsdale Central’s track and field team.

But once the school year ends, his excitement Piker by the will quickly shift numbers to his college football career. 6-4 Height in feet and inches He accepted a 275 Playing weight in 2012 scholarship offer 315 Bench press, in pounds from Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass. over the winter and is anticipating the start of Crusaders’ camp in August.

“I want to see how I measure up to the competition,” said Piker, a Westmont resident. “I know I’ve kind of got something to prove, but I’m ready to go to work.”

Working hard to get ready for the upcoming season won’t be that much different than what Piker has been doing for the better part of a year. As a junior, he was behind then-senior and current Miami University (Ohio) lineman Ryan Callen. Playing time was rare, but Piker made sure he came in ready to be the starter for his senior season.

“Last year I was 240 pounds, and now I’m 275,” he said. “I was in the weight room every day. I lifted before school and after school, ate more and ate healthy to put on some weight.”

The hard work paid off and led to offers from six next-level teams: Army, Eastern Michigan, Fordham, Georgetown, Holy Cross and San Diego. He visited both Georgetown and Holy Cross in January, and it didn’t take him long to make his pick.

“I made my visit and checked it out, and before I left I sat down with coach (Tom) Gilmore and talked with him and told him I wanted to be there,” Piker said.

The off-the-field benefits were as much a factor in Piker’s decision as the Crusaders’ 4225 record over the last six seasons.

“I’m not going to school only to play football,” said Piker, who plans to study economics, finance and political science.

Piker said he will head to Worcester either the week after Hinsdale Central’s graduation or right after the Fourth of July to get settled on campus before practice starts. Until then, he’ll continue to follow his normal routine.

“I’m still lifting,” Piker said. “They have me on their weightlifting program, so I’m running and working out to get ready.”

GIRLS TRACK & FIELD PREVIEW | 2013

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com

Downers Grove North Coach: Tim McDonald Top returners: Meghan Bonfield, jr., (sprints) Rebecca Ridderhoff, sr., (hurdles, sprints) Stephanie Urbancik, jr., (middle distance) What to watch: A trio of athletes — Meghan Bonfield, Rebecca Ridderhoff and Stephanie Urbancik — competed in multiple events at last year’s outdoor state meet. That experience should go a long way to helping the Trojans succeed this spring.

Freshmen Kaitlyn Bonfield and Grace Maletich ran in the varsity 1,600 at the West Suburban Silver indoor meet and finished in the top five against a stacked field of upperclassmen. Ridderhoff, Urbancik, Maletich and Megan Bonfield had top-10 finishes at the indoor state meet.

North will be tested throughout the season starting with Wednesday’s first outdoor meet — a triangular with York and Downers Grove South. The invite schedule takes the Trojans to Homewood-Flossmoor (April 6) and Palatine (April 20) while they host their own Ritter invite April 12.

Downers Grove South Coach: Egle Staisiunaite

Top returners: Sam Baeten, sr., (sprints) Meaghan Bosman, jr., (mid. distance, distance) Jada Franklin, sr., (triple jump) Abby Kargol ,so., (distance) Amanda Thate, so., (distance) What to watch: Former South standout Egle Staisiunaite takes over as head coach, and she might wish she had some eligibility left from her high school days.

“We have a really small team, so at big meets such as conference the more talented girls end up having to compete in four events,” Staisiunaite said. “We just don’t have enough athletes to choose from while making meet lineups.”

So far that hasn’t hindered the Mustangs, who won the West Suburban Gold indoor meet. Triple jumper Jada Franklin was sixth at the indoor state meet. A group of distance runners with extensive cross country experience, including Abby Kargol and Amanda Thate, provide depth not only in the individual distance events, but also in the 4 x 800-meter relay.

Freshmen Shaliyah Dixon-Tucker, Michaela Hackbarth and Maggie Seitz join senior Sam Baeten as solid sprinters, though Staisiunaite is still looking to develop the sprint relays as the outdoor season progresses.

South hosts its own invite Saturday and will also compete at invites at Wheaton Warrenville South (April 12) and Lake Park (April 20) before looking to capture the WSG outdoor title as the first step on the road to state.

“Our goals are to win outdoor conference and have two mini buses full of girls going to state meet,” Staisiunaite said.

Westmont Coach: Steve Wolf Top returners: Maggie Arndt, jr., (distance) Maureen Bailey, sr., (distance) Chloe Marshinski, sr., (distance) What to watch: During the indoor season, the Sentinels scored a second-place finish at the Reed-Custer invite, which included 2012 state qualifier Chloe Marshinski setting a new school record in the 3,200-meter run.

The distance events, with Marshinski and fellow 2012 state-qualifier Maggie Arndt leading the way, should be a particular strength for Westmont. With Marshinski running lead leg, the 4 x 800 relay (which also featured sophomores Imogene Asa and Victoria Thomas and senior Maureen Bailey) was also a winner at Reed-Custer.

the Sentinels more well-rounded in the sprints and horizontal jumps.

Westmont will test itself at the Plano invite (April 20) and against Class 3A-foe Addison Trail in an April 16 dual, in the hope of competing for titles at the Interstate Eight Conference (May 2) and sectional (May 10) meets.

BOYS TRACK & FIELD PREVIEW | 2013

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com

Downers Grove South Coach: Dustin Hausherr Top returners: Jacob Amiri, jr., (distance) Paul Engo, jr., (jumps) Luke Lathrop, sr., (throws) Jalen Lewis, sr., (hurdles) Odell McFarland, sr., (sprints) What to watch: Most coaches take the one-day-at-a-time approach with their athletes, but Dustin Hausherr is already looking ahead to the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend — the final day of the season. He has a mix of upperclassmen and newcomers that could all be competing at the state finals.

Odell McFarland recently finished second in the 200-meter dash at the indoor state meet. Jacob Amiri was 10th in the 800-meter run. Jalen Lewis claimed both the high and low hurdles titles at the West Suburban Gold indoor meet, while Paul Engo was the high jump champ

at the conference meet. Those upperclassmen will be leaned upon for leadership as a crop of newcomers adjusts at the varsity level.

“We will have a handful of freshmen athletes contributing at the varsity level this year,” Hausherr said. “Our expectations are to compete for a conference championship every year, and we will have a good shot at the WSC Gold championship if we continue to work hard.”

The Bud Mohns invite Saturday, April 13 and the Bob Cohoon invite Friday, April 19 will be run at home; the Wanner invite at Prospect Friday, April 26 comes two weeks before the WSG outdoor and will help the Mustangs gauge their progress. The overall goal is clear.

“Our goal is to get as many athletes as possible to (state) and score some points while we are down there,” Hausherr said.

Downers Grove North Coach: Eric Buhot

Top returners: Vontae Diggs, jr., (sprints) Ben Eaton, sr., (distance) Kyle Leto, jr., (sprints) Steve Kanis, sr., (jumps) Zack Smith, jr., (distance) Tony Zea, jr., (middle distance) What to watch: Always a presence in the distance races during the postseason, the Trojans look to continue that tradition this spring.

Zack Smith won a title in the 1,600-meter run at the West Suburban Silver indoor meet, Tony Zea was third in the 800 and Ben Eaton was third in the 3,200. The conference typically produces some of the best distance runners in the state each year. Smith has big-meet experience after finishing eighth at the cross country state meet in the fall.

North’s strength in the distance events could be countered by equal strength in sprints with Kyle Leto and Vontae Diggs. Jumper Steve Kanis

could help the Trojans earn invite points in field events.

Westmont Coach: Rainy Kaplan Top returners: Anthony Alessi, so., (distance) Nick Dea, so., (distance) Tim Doll, jr., (sprints) Danny LoGiurato, jr., (middle distance) David McDermott, sr., (throws) Joseph McDermott, jr., (pole vault) Nate Novota, sr., (distance) Kris Pierce, sr., (jumps) Michael Robertson, sr., (hurdles, pole vault) What to watch: The Sentinels finished second at the ReedCuster invite March 16. A second-place finish wouldn’t always be something to write home about, but head coach Rainy Kaplan was enthusiastic about that finish for another reason.

“In years where we finish in the top three at Reed-Custer, we do extremely well the entire season,” she said.

The team broke six indoor school records during this winter, including Kris Pierce with a mark of 39 feet, 4.5 inches in the triple jump. Tim Doll, second in the state in the 400-meter dash last spring, is back, as are seven other state qualifiers. Nate Novota ran in the 3,200 at last year’s state finals.

“I think this is one of the strongest teams we have ever had in the history of our school,” Kaplan said. “We are well-rounded, with no holes in our lineup. The talent is definitely with us this season.”

Westmont will be paired with defending state champion Leo in the sectional meet. The Sentinels’ goal is to top them en route to a strong state meet showing.

“We are setting our sights on them this year,” Kaplan said.

“We think we have the depth to give them a run for their money and take the sectional title.”

The positive was the Sentinels won the second game in a 13-3, five-inning rout.

“Our offense came out

fired up and we scored six runs with one out and ran their starting pitcher out of the game,” said Westmont coach D.J. Cocks, whose team improved to 2-2. “We showed a lot of plate discipline. We let the ball get deep (in the zone) instead of swinging at whatever the pitcher was throwing.”

After Donovan suffered the hard-luck loss, Jean Pietrzak was the beneficiary of the offensive explosion in

Game 2. He worked all five innings, saving the bullpen for a week in which Westmont was scheduled to play every day but Thursday.

“Any time you can save your arms is key, especially when you’re going to play every day of the week,” Cocks said. “It makes it a lot easier for everyone and everything on the team.”

Westmont didn’t get a runner past second base in the first game against the Bob-

cats, but fared much better with runners in scoring position in the nightcap. With the Sentinels up 12-3 and a runner on second, Westmont got the run in and shortened the game to five innings.

Zach Moran went 5-for-5 with two RBIs in the second game, tying a school record for hits in a game. John Kelly was 2-for-3 with a pair of RBIs, and Ryan Schlicher was 2-for-3 with a walk, three runs scored and an RBI.

Trojans sweep defending league champs

DOWNERS GROVE — Downers Grove North’s strength lies in its infield defense so it’s fitting that the Trojans finished off a sweep of York with a ground ball double play.

North baseball improved to 4-0 on the season and got off to a 3-0 start in the West Suburban Silver thanks to a 5-2 win over York in Downers Grove on Monday. Earlier in the series the Trojans picked up 12-7 and 14-7 wins at York on Saturday.

Senior Lucas Fisher pitched a complete game Monday, scattering nine hits and getting the win against York ace River Pitlock. Fisher had just two strikeouts, but knew what the key was.

“Just getting the ball down low, letting them hit, letting my defense back me up because they did a heck of a job as always,” Fisher said.

York (2-3) scored with a run in the top of the second, but the Trojans answered in the bottom half before taking the lead with four runs in the fifth. Connor Kopach and Troy Southard each had RBI singles and James Sheldon had a twoRBI double in the fifth.

York’s first three batters reached in the seventh inning, but back-to-back ground balls capped off by a double play ended the threat with just one

WESTMONT — Charlie Donovan yielded just three hits over four innings of pitching, striking out seven during that span.

The trouble for Westmont’s baseball team was it couldn’t glove the ball behind him or reliever Jordan Slagle. As a result of seven errors, the Sentinels lost the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader 6-0.

Earlier in the series the Trojans’ bats starred in the doubleheader sweep in Elmhurst. Matt Sabloudil had two

home runs and three RBIs, and Ray Greco added three RBIs in the opener. In the second game, Jack Goergen went 3-for-4 with two triples and five RBIs, while Kopach was 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and three RBIs. Sweeping the defending conference champions was a perfect start for North, but the

Silver isn’t considered one of the toughest leagues in the area for nothing. This weekend’s series is against highly ranked Lyons Township.

Sentinels take two from Somonauk

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com WESTMONT — Westmont’s softball team couldn’t have made its home opener much more memorable.

The Sentinels welcomed Somonauk for a doubleheader and swept both games, winning 3-0 in the first game and 10-8 in the nightcap.

Winning two and doing so on a relatively sunny day was even better.

Next home game Who: Evergreen Park at Westmont When: 4:30 p.m. Wednesday Where: 909 Oakwood Drive, Westmont

“Our first game against Nazareth, it was like 20 degrees and it was snowing,” Westmont coach Jason Bolden said of the March 16 season opener. “Our pitching

and offense were a lot better over the weekend.”

Even though the Sentinels (2-1 heading into April) were without their three starting outfielders, who were away on a trip to Europe, they won in both convincing (Game 1) and come-from-behind (Game 2) fashion.

Kristen Skala struck out 18 Bobcat batters in the opener.

At the plate, Claire Conneely (2-for-3), Maria Prete (1-for-2) and Shannon Flynn (1-for-3)

provided the highlights.

The Sentinels were up 2-0 in the second game, but then found themselves trailing 8-2. They chipped away to earn the win.

“The kids never quit,” Bolden said. “It showed a lot of character.”

Pitcher Susie Sternard allowed only two earned runs, but errors behind her kept Somonauk in it.

“I told them I thought we were letting Susie down.

If we take care of what we need to take care of, it would have been a lopsided win for us,” Bolden said. “I let them know that everybody has a role and everyone on the team is counting on you to do your job, and I think they see that.”

Megan Serrat went 2-for2 with a three-run homer in the second game, while Prete was 3-for-4 with two RBIs. Skala and Skyler Poel also had two-hit games.

North softball dominates despite Ryndak’s bad news

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE — The news became official Monday.

Dale Ryndak, a junior pitcher and first baseman for Downers Grove North’s softball team, will miss the season after tearing the ACL and meniscus in her right knee during the Trojans’ season-opening game against Nazareth March 26.

The Trojans struggled in a doubleheader split with Glenbard East Saturday, but they played their best game of the season in Monday’s 11-0, five-inning win over visiting Wheaton Warrenville South.

“That was good after Saturday,” North coach Mark Magro said. “We knew the deci-

Game box Wheaton Warrenville South 0 Downers Grove North 11 Top batters: Carolyn Nojiri 3-for-3, three runs; Madeline Wojciak 1-for3, double, two runs, RBI; Brittany Claver three RBIs, run; Ali Woitivich 1-for-3, home run, two RBIs sion (about Dale) was coming out today and we knew it was probably going to be bad, but now that it’s out in the open I think they relaxed a little bit. Everybody’s got to step up and that’s what we’ve been talking about.”

That’s exactly what happened Monday as the Trojans improved to 3-1 on the year. Eight different players

scored, six players drove in RBIs and North pounded out nine hits. An eight-run second inning, capped by Ali Woitivich’s two-run homer, chased out South’s starting pitcher and put North ahead 9-0.

“I honestly wasn’t even thinking,” Woitivich said of her homer, the first of her high school career. “It didn’t even feel like I swung that hard.”

Woitivich’s bomb capped an inning in which Carolyn Nojiri, Madeline Wojciak, Brittany Nagy and Brittany Claver also picked up RBIs. It was the kind of offensive performance North has been looking for and one it hopes can continue.

“It was the first game of the season where we finally

all connected and put everything together,” Woitivich said. “It’s such a great feeling knowing that we did it this early in the season.”

Even when the Trojans didn’t get hits, they still made the Tigers’ defense work for the out as North struck out just twice.

“Today was the best pitcher we’ve seen so far this year and we hit the ball well,” Magro said. “The girls were patient, they didn’t try to swing off their heels and they hit the ball hard. That’s what we’ve talked about. Every game you’ve got to have good at bats. If you have good at bats, good things will happen.”

On the mound, Elaine Heflin, North’s other ace pitch-

er, notched 11 strikeouts and yielded just one hit — with two outs in the top of the fifth inning. Ryndak arrived just after first pitch to watch from the dugout. The Trojans know they need to band together in her absence to keep their winning tradition going, but there is an extra bit of motivation to win with her on the sidelines.

“Dale is obviously one of our key players but one player doesn’t make a team, and as awful as it was (to lose her) it kind of made us focus in more,” Woitivich said. “We know how bad she wants to be out there, and we can’t lose when she’s sitting there watching. Do it for her, do it for yourself and do it for our school.”

A Shelby Cobra history lesson Q: When the late Carroll Shelby debuted his first batch of Cobras, can you tell us what really went on and how many he built through the last year of 1968? Also, please touch on the Corvette response to the Cobra if you will.

Thanks much.

— Charles W., a car lover from New England.

A: Charles, I’d be more than happy to, and it’s a great Ford versus Chevy story.

Carroll Shelby’s drive and desire to build the ultimate “street” car that would beat the Zora ArkusDuntov-built Corvettes started when he made a deal with A.C. Cars in England to secure bodies for his soon-to-be-born Ford AC Cobra. Here in the states we knew of the foreign AC car as an AC Bristol. Originally, it had an underpowered six-cylinder, but when Shelby received the cars, they were sans any powertrains and ready for some real performance engineering.

Shelby’s initial Cobra came to life in 1962, where he dominated road racing by trouncing the “always winning” A/Production Corvettes in road racing events. Not to be outdone, Arkus-Duntov responded by building his Cobra destroyer, the 1963 Corvette Grand Sport, which was a lightweight ‘Vette with a special small block V-8 under the hood. Duntov built these highly sophisticated Grand Sports specifi-

Although I never saw any Corvette Grand Sports on the road as they were race only, I did see several real Cobras back in the 1960s. I wouldn’t dare call one out back then with

my ‘67 GTX 440 or even my ‘68 Camaro 396/375, as I knew of Cobra’s lightweight attributes and power availability.

Speaking of power, Shelby’s Cobra offered small-block Fords in either 260 or 289 cubic inches with up to 306 horses or the thundering 427 side oiler V-8, listed at 425 horses but putting out near 475. As for Duntov’s Grand Sport, a stroked 377-inch small block fed by four Weber side draft carbs developed 485 horses, more than enough to outpace the

Shelby Cobras in the Governor’s race at Nassau in December 1963.

Overall, only 654 small blocks and 350 or so bigblock AC style Cobras were ever built in those seven years of availability, and many were indeed for street use. Today, if you see a real Shelby AC Cobra cross the auction block at Mecum or BarrettJackson, you’re talking big money for sure.

In contrast, only five of Duntov’s Grand Sports were ever built, two of them converted to road-

sters. These cars are priceless, and word has it GM wanted the cars destroyed along with the 1963 Daytona 500 427 Mystery Motor cars as the company was “officially out of racing” in 1963. Regardless of corporate edit, all five Grand Sports survived and exist in good hands today, two of them with Roger Penske.

n The bottom line: Follow the oil change recommendations in the vehicle’s owner’s manual. Pay close attention to the oil life monitor if your vehicle has it. When the monitor says it’s time for a change, it’s time. Drivers need to pay close attention to their vehicle use because vehicle manufacturers sometimes recommend oil drain intervals based on driving habits. n Your service provider should be happy to supply you with the brand, viscosity grade and performance level of the oil they use before it is poured into your vehicle. It’s also important to ask for that information in writing or on the receipt.

Drive away from locations that don’t know or won’t confirm in writing what they’re pouring into your vehicle. n The American Petroleum Institute certifies oil change locations under the Motor Oil Matters program. Service providers that are MOM-certified have had their quality control procedures independently audited and have made the commitment to always tell their customers exactly what oil is going into their cars. n Any motor oil poured into a vehicle should meet the level of performance recommended by the vehicle manufacturer in the owner’s manual. n Make sure the oil change includes a fresh filter.

“Since its debut in the late 1930s, acrylic furniture has captivated the public imagination.” rachel delphia, associate curator of decorative arts and design at the carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh

Streamline spring cleaning Spring cleaning tips: n Assign a leader and have each member of your family say what area of the house they feel they can tackle best, ensuring everyone is comfortable and able to quickly and effectively clean their section. n Take your family cleaning crew on a quick walk-through of the home and identify areas that need the most attention. This will allow you to give your crew the right set of supplies and allot them the proper amount of time to get the job done. Add an extra hour to normal cleaning times for each area, since this is a deep clean. n Once you have tackled your spring cleaning list, take a final walk-through to make sure you covered every nook and cranny. Hidden dust and tarnish can be hard to spot the first time around so make sure to take a cleaner with you for a quick and efficient lastminute cleanup.

Pergolas, arches and arbors Pergolas and arches have long been used in garden design to provide strong vertical elements.

Their purpose has been twofold: to frame views and openings, and to provide shade over areas set aside for entertaining and relaxation.

The original pergola constructions can be traced back to ancient egyptian times, when overhead structures were used as a support for grapes, which provided areas of shade.

From here, their use spread to more temperate climates, where their function became more ornamental.

Today, arbors may be viewed primarily as a focal point. Often enclosed on three sides, they tend to be smaller than pergolas and are usually set in a cool corner of the garden.

Originally, arbors were shady tunnels formed by training trees, such as linden and sycamore, to grow over a framework of metal arches.

Arbors were also developed as secluded outdoor rooms, shaded places often enclosed by intricate trellis work.

This is more in line with their function today, where trees, climbers and shrubs are trained over wooden archways and trellises to form a secluded haven.

Clear inspiration Plastic has shaped modern furniture

By Patricia Sheridan Scripps Howard news Service

Transparency may be in short supply in Washington, D.C., but in the furniture and fashion worlds it has been a clear winner for more than 75 years.

Plastics such as Plexiglas, resin, Lucite and acrylic have seen through decades of trends and look as new today as ever.

“Since its debut in the late 1930s, acrylic furniture has captivated the public imagination,” says Rachel Delphia, associate curator of decorative arts and design at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh. Cosmetics mogul Helena Rubinstein was one of the first to commission furniture made of the clear hard substance. The Carnegie Museum has one of the first transparent chairs made by Rohm & Haas for Rubinstein.

“The chair was designed by Rubinstein company designer Ladislas Medgyesis and is fascinatingly modern and traditional,” she adds.

That marked the beginning of Hollywood Regency, a style that embraced the glamour of modern materials. But it wasn’t until the ‘60s that Lucite and acrylic became strong components of contemporary home decor.

The most recent incarnation of plastic with a sense of place came in 1992 when Italian furniture manufacturer Kartell introduced the Louis Ghost Chair by designer Philippe Starck. It was an instant hit, spawning many imitators, including Zuo Modern (at a lower price point).

The idea of taking an antique

silhouette and doing a molded plastic chair was the perfect marriage of classic and contemporary.

Going for Baroque, Kartell came out with the Bourgie transparent lamp, another in-

stant winner. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Ghost chair, Kartell made a limited edition with Starck’s signature.

Over the next 10 years, the company also introduced color and images to its acrylic collection.

Along with infusing color for contrast, today’s manufacturers are also encasing Mother Nature’s most accommodating material — wood — in resin or acrylic, a message in a bottle, if you will. Are we encapsulating the planet in plastic or preserving nature’s beauty for eons?

If you like the see-through look but prefer a more recyclable material, there is always glass. Theodore Alexander did a glass seat on its Regency-style Floating Klismos chair, while Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams used glass and nothing else for its Claro curved cocktail table and nesting tables.

Pictures accompanying this story are of items displayed at the winter World Market in Las Vegas, except for the crystal side table of clear lucite by Mariette Himes Gomez for Hickory Chair.
