Trip takes students to New Jersey coast to help with hurricane relief DOWNERS GROVE – As is standard for spring break, students with Campus Life in Downers Grove took off for the beach. But they weren’t headed there for sun, sand and fun. Instead, the Downers Grove high students headed to the New Jersey coast to help with the ongoing Hurricane Sandy relief. It is part of an annual service trip for the Campus Life. A ministry of Youth for Christ – the 67-year-old organization that got its start with the Rev. Billy Graham – Campus Life chapters offer programs and guidance for high school-aged students. The group meets weekly in Downers Grove and plans a few events and trips through the year. Before the students left for the trip, Kevin Loughrin, area director for Campus Life in Downers Grove, answered questions about the trip and the group.

What is the agenda on this trip?

Learn more Meetings: 7 p.m. Mondays at 607 Rogers St., Downers Grove Contact: Kevin Loughrin — kevin@icampuslife.com

7 p.m., we have our program at 607 Rogers St. We have about 13 adult volunteers, and (they) spend their time getting to know the kids: getting to know the things that they’re involved in, getting to know them on a deeper level. We usually play a couple games to get the kids to know each other a little bit. Then discuss a topic that addresses questions and situations that these kids are seeing – peer pressure, bullying. We see in a lot of these kids, they talk about these serious issues they’re going through, but they talk about it with their friends or people who haven’t been through it and have come out on the other side. So we give them that opportunity.

Tell me more about Campus Life. What are other programs that you run? What is a typical work day going to be like? We’re going to be on site by 8 a.m. and packing up to leave by about 4:30 p.m., so yeah, a full day of work. We try to use that time as best we can and create opportunities where we can discuss with them how we’re experiencing the trip, what it’s inspiring in them – direct some conversation. For the nights, we do some games every night, but the big

8STREET TALK If you were stranded on a desert island, what one food would you bring?

part of it is a lot of small group discussions that usually goes into the wee hours of the night, from past experience. Those conversations are usually the most valuable time we spend with them on the trip.

We’re a faith-based organization, but we have kids from all different kids of backgrounds – whether they’re a different religion or no religion, we’ve got all kinds. Our mission and goal is to serve the needs of the kids of Downers Grove, whoever they may be.

We’re working with an organization out there called Heavenly Driven Disaster Relief, so we’re driving out on Saturday. We’re going to start on work projects Monday morning. We’re going to be putting up drywall, doing a lot of demolition of houses that have been flooded. A lot of the people that we’re going to be helping out have yet to be back into their homes, from what I understand from this organization – so they’ve been doing, up to this point, a lot of clearing out of families’ belongings.

Railroad safety a topic 8ELECTION 2013 Voters speak, make key decisions at council meeting Resident asks for improved safety measures, council members receptive By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Railroad safety was a topic of discussion at the April 2 Downers Grove Village Council meeting – held two weeks after a Metra train struck and killed a man downtown. Downers Grove resident and railroad safety advocate George Swimmer spoke at length about the particular dangers of the BNSF line that runs through town, and especially the number of accidents that occur when pedestrians think the way is clear after one train passes, without seeing a second train. “Train traffic is increasing almost on a daily basis,” he said.

He urged the council to speak with Metra, Burlington and other governmental agencies to consider possible improvements to crossings or adding another underpass in town. The talk spurred from a March 19 incident in which a man was killed just west of the Main Street train station in Downers Grove. Police have since ruled the incident as a likely suicide. Mayor Martin Tully offered to meet with Swimmer and compile a list of contacts to discuss any potential additional safety measures in town. Commissioner Becky Rheintgen suggested the possibility of a resident task force

By RYAN TERRELL rterrell@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Voters in Downers Grove made some key decisions in Tuesday’s elections. The Downers Grove Village Council will see at least one new face, as incumbents Bob Barnett and Marilyn Schnell squared off against challengers Greg Hosé, Don Jankowski, David Olsen and Sue Walaszek for three seats. One of the newcomers will fill the seat vacated by Commissioner Bill Waldack, who didn’t seek re-election for a third term. The race for three seats on the Community Unit School District 99 Board of Education found some late controversy in the weeks leading up to the election. After candidates Martin Gorski and Henry Jakobsze withdrew from the race, it was thought to be uncontested for four seats. However,

More on Downers Grove’s races Find results and reaction from Tuesday’s election in next week’s edition of the Downers Grove Reporter. For up-to-the-minute results and reaction, visit www.mysuburban life.com/downersgrove. the two withdrew from the race after ballots had been printed, giving voters the possibility to elect candidates unwilling to serve on the board. Still, incumbents Julia Beckman, Deb Boyle and Terry Pavesich, and newcomer Rick Pavinato, are expected to fill the four seats even if they are not the top vote-getters. The District 99 Board of Education will ultimately make the decision if either Gorski or Jakobsze were elected Tuesday — the board would have 45 days to appoint replacements. Typically, government bodies respect the public vote and appoint the next top vote-get-

ters, though school code does not mandate that. Voters also elected four members to the Center Cass School District 66 Board of Education from a pool of six candidates: Tracey Edwards, Michael Mandziara, Mark Motuelle, Glenn Olsen, Liane Raso and Steven Vena. Election results came in after deadline for this week’s print edition of the Downers Grove Reporter.

Westmont soldier returns home with a hero’s welcome

NEWS |

Downers Grove South graduate home safely after tour in Afghanistan WESTMONT – Army Spc. Adam Tomanovich knew in high school that he wanted to be a soldier. He even graduated early so he could begin his military service. And after completing his first tour of duty in Afghanistan and returning home safely to his home in Westmont last week, the Downers Grove South grad just wanted to spend some time with his family and friends. But some alone time with close family and friends had to wait on Friday, when Tomanovich returned home from a nine-month deployment in Afghanistan to find quite a bit of fanfare. Members of the Westmont police and fire departments, as well as local veterans motorcycle groups, escorted Tomanovich, 20, with an im-

Tomanovich, whose flight from Germany landed about an hour-and-a-half before, said he was not expecting his return home to be such a big deal. “I thought it would just be family and a few friends,” he said. “I was not expecting anything like this. It was incredible.” His father, Alex Tomanovich, credited Westmont Police Chief Tom Mulhearn, the village of Westmont and Chicago-area veterans motorcycle groups for making his son’s return something special. “I am truly amazed and humbled by the outpouring of support from our community and the veteran members of these groups,” Alex To-

DOWNERS GROVE – Caribou Coffee’s downtown Downers Grove location will remain a coffee shop; it’s just unclear exactly what it will be named. Caribou Coffee announced Monday that it’s closing the majority of its Chicagoland locations and renaming several others. The chain has more than a half-dozen west suburban locations, including shops in

Downers Grove, Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Willowbrook, La Grange, Oakbrook Terrace and Countryside. The Downers Grove location will remain open, according to an employee who asked not to be named when reached Monday. He would not say whether or not it would be converted into a Peet’s. The Minnesota-based coffee chain was bought by a German holding company last year for about $340 million, and announced today that it would close the majority of

its 66 Illinois locations, and convert more than a dozen to Peet’s Coffee & Tea shops. Business will end at noon Sunday for the closing locations. Calls placed to Caribou public relations staff were not immediately returned. As of Sept. 30, 2012, the company had 610 coffeehouses, including 202 franchised locations, in 22 states, the District of Columbia and 10 international markets, according to a press release at the time of the December buyout.

Q: What is a dental implant? A: A dental implant is a pin, usually made of titanium, that is implanted in your jaw to act as a tooth root and support an artificial tooth or teeth. As a solution to missing teeth, implants have some advantages over dentures in that they don’t slip, making talking and chewing easier, and they are more comfortable. The procedure is generally done under local anesthesia.

4949 Forest Ave., Downers Grove, IL 630-724-1061

Implants, of course, do not relieve you of the need to visit your dentist. Your dentist will want to check regularly on the state of the implant and the health of the adjoining tissue. For instance, the tissue near an implant can be more susceptible to infection because of decreased blood flow. Nothing is forever, of course, but with proper care, implants should last for many years. Talk with your dentist about whether you are a candidate for an implant.

NATURE’S BEST “It Doesn’t Get Any Fresher than This”

To be a candidate for an implant, you must have enough bone in the jaw, and it must be strong enough to support an implant. If there’s not enough bone, under certain conditions, your dentist might be able to employ a bone graft. The condition of a patient’s gums is also an important factor in deciding whether an implant is a viable option.

Q & A with the Hearing Doctor Q: Are two hearing aids better than one?

entitled “Hearing Ability Ratings”.

A: Yes assuming there is hearing loss in both ears wearing two hearing aids is better than one. Imagine you are listening to music on a stereo system with two front speakers and Dr. Terri Lightbody two rear (630) 580-5777 speakers. If only the let front and rear speakers are working, the music will sound shallow and lat. When the speakers on both sides are working, then the music has a clear spatial sound to it. his is how wearing one hearing aid vs. two would sound like.

On the let is type of listening environments. on the bottom is the percentage of what the person understands. he normal hearing person will get from 65% to 85% understanding in noise, the person it with one hearing aid “Monaural” will get less than 20% understanding. he unaided ear with loss is critical in helping the person hear better in noise. Once a person, “Binaural”, has two hearing aids, the score jumps dramatically, close to the score of those with normal hearing.

Another beneit of having two hearing aids over one is hearing in noisy environments. In a case of a restaurant environment where there are numerous people speaking as well as music in the background and kitchen noise, the brain needs input from both ears in order to separate unimportant sounds from those whom you are speaking with. Observe the graph illustration to the right

Another critical beneit is the ability to locate direction of sounds. With one aid, the sound always will seem to come from that side, but with two, the ability to locate of sounds is restored.

1895 article endorses Downers Grove barber Photo courtesy of the Downers Grove Park District Museum and the Downers Grove Historical Society

According to an 1895 article in the Downers Grove Reporter, Downers Grove Barber Henry Selig “is first class barber. He has built up a large acquaintance and good custom by his genial disposition and artistic work. He is always on hand to attend the business. He also keeps a full line of cigars and tobaccos.” Henry Selig was the father of Augusta, Lydia and Clara, who operated the Selig Sisters Millinery Shop at 25 South Main St., next door to their father.

Downers Grove native, artist headed to Hollywood By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Lucas Durham’s parents didn’t name him after “Star Wars” creator George Lucas, though it would have been fitting. “I wish I was,” the 23-yearold Downers Grove native said. “My parents are geeky enough that they might have, but they didn’t.” Durham, a Downers Grove South High School grad, draws and paints impressive science fiction and fantasy images as a freelance artist for several com-

panies, including the Bradford Exchange and Fantasy Flight Games, among others. He has been drawing since as soon as he could hold a pencil, he said, and remembers an equal love for sci-fi at a young age, when his mother would read him Robert Heinlein novels to put him to sleep. Following high school, Durham graduated from the American Academy of Art in Chicago in 2011, and he also took an exchange trip to the Florence Academy of Art to further hone his water coloring and drawing chops. That classi-

cal training is put to good use in his compositions — huge robots and other fantastical imagery are made real and almost touchable in detail. On Sunday, Durham’s skill is taking him to Hollywood, where he is among 12 winning artists and 12 winning writers from around the globe who will be honored during the 29th annual L. Ron Hubbard Achievement Awards. Each of the artists and writers are paired up for a collaborative contest, the winner of which gets $5,000. For being named one of the 12 artists,

Durham already gets a $500 prize. Judges for the contest included luminaries in the sci-fi galaxy, including Orson Scott Card, author of the classic “Ender’s Game.” “I’m very lucky to be at the point where I’m able to talk to some of the famous artists that have influenced me over the years,” Durham said. “One of the judges for the L. Ron Hubbard Achievement Awards is Dave Dorman, a big ‘Star Wars’ (book) artist. He’s actually a local from Chicago. He’s been just great to listen to.” One of the images Durham submitted to the contest is characteristic of the sly approach he takes toward the sci-fi universe. Instead of a climactic battle, it shows maintenance crews welding and repairing gigantic mechanical robots the size of buildings. “A lot of times you see it from the soldier’s perspective or pilot’s perspectives,” he said. “But you never get to see the guys in the background. Who

takes care of these things? Who has to discuss ‘What’s the budget for this guy?’” Durham said he likes to refer to those books by Heinlein and others he grew up with for inspiration. He also likes to study real-world machines for grounding. On a recent trip, he stopped by a fighter jet museum for reference, and discovered that Walt Disney used to design insignias for fighter planes in World War II. “Next time ... I’ll be adding different platoon symbols inspired by what Disney was doing,” he said. All the preparation and study has led to a busy start to his freelance career. In the future, he said he would like to paint covers for books and art for fantasy card games like Magic: the Gathering. “I like to think of myself as a problem solver,” he said. “If an art director comes to me and says, ‘We’d like a wizard casting a spell,’ how do you convey that in the most (interesting) way?”

And we are really proud of him.” While in Afghanistan, Tomanovich’s unit worked primarily to help the local Afghan people adjust while U.S. troops withdraw from the region. He said his unit did have some injures while in Afghan-

us and to formulate the vision of the district.” There are three scheduled general community groups, one teen focus group, and another for inter-governmental and business. To see

the schedule and to RSVP to attend a group, visit www .dgparks.org. In the last year, the park district has welcomed new Executive Director Bill McAdam, along with new directors of recreation, administrative services and operations and development. McAdam said the groups will be a good opportunity to see “where we’ve been and where we’re going.” The groups will be open-ended and will look to broach a wide spectrum, he said.

“Whatever is brought up (by residents) is what we’re looking for,” he said. McAdam added that he has heard interest from the public about the district expanding its special events, especially at the Memorial Pavilion at Fishel Park. After the focus groups, he said Face to Face Communication will compile a report and recommendations, which district staff and the board will make adjustments to before writing the strategic plan. He said a final draft would likely be completed by July.

Tee-time at the Downers Grove ... library? What do avid readers and avid golfers have in common? They’ll be at the Downers Grove Public Library on Sunday for a library mini golf adventure. For the bargain price of only $5 for adults and teens and $3 for kids under 12, everyone can enjoy the challenges of a full 18-hole putting course. Thanks to the 25 generous business, organizational and COMMUNITY individual sponsors who VOICE make this Downers Grove Rick Public Library Foundation event possible, golfers will Ashton wind their way through book stacks, hallways, reading rooms and stairwells. All that’s lacking is a water hazard (not such a great idea in a library). After qualifying during the regular tee-off times between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., teens and kids will begin tournament play at 4:15 p.m. We expect some fierce putting competition. Last year, Tony Maduzia, 14, was the big winner of a $50 gift card. He was one of 320 golfers who played a round at the 2012 event. Meanwhile, the library will be open for business during its normal Sunday afternoon hours, 1 to 5 p.m. Although there will be some extra hubbub from the golfers and their fans, library staff will make every effort to provide the usual high level of service that our community expects. Proceeds from Library Mini Golf will help the Downers Grove Public Library Foundation support the library. Supplementing the community’s tax support, the Foundation helps in the broad effort to provide abundant books and other material, special support for children’s reading, up-to-date technology and comfortable surroundings. This year’s proceeds are likely to fund some special part of the library’s upcoming building renovation project. No advance registration is necessary for this fun-filled family event. Each ticket purchased at the door entitles one person to a round of mini golf, a chance to qualify for the prize-winning tournament (for kids and teens), and a bag of Wells Street popcorn. What a great deal: read a book about Tiger Woods or Michelle Wie and putt like a champion!

Rick Ashton is director of the Downers Grove Public Library.

and hardly told anyone except his family that he won. Malone said he always buys his lottery tickets at Falcon Pantry, and for that drawing, he bought $25 in quick picks. After taxes, Malone will receive $1.4 million, and the store will receive $20,000 for selling the ticket, lottery officials said. Malone and his wife have six children and 15 grandchildren with whom he will share the prize. They also are looking at buying their “dream house” and have identified one they may look to buy in Clarendon Hills, a specific house that Malone said he and his wife drive past all the time. “I’m also going to trade in my Cadillac and get a newer model,” he said. Ila Parikh, the Falcon Pantry employee who sold Malone the ticket, said it is exciting for her and the store, which is owned by her husband. She said Malone comes in the store all the time for tickets and was happy that “a regular customer” was the winner. They will use the $20,000 to make repairs and upgrades at the store, Parikh said.

WESTMONT – 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 14 other makeup 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

how he was portrayed on the show, and credited his competition with making it a great experience that he said he will remember for the rest of his life. “We had a great cast this year and that really made it an incredible experience,” Kosar said. “It has made me a better artist, and I learned from the contestants as well as from myself.” Kosar won’t have much time to savor his new-found fame. He has several art shows coming up over the next few months that will take him to New York, Los Angeles and other places to display his work. But he still plans on teaching classes this year at his Westmont studio, where teaches various make-up and effects methods. “Creatively, being part of ‘Face Off’ was one of the best experiences of my life,” Kosar said. “Being among 11 other great artists, you really learn to push yourself to the limit to be the best.”

8NEWS BRIEFS Former DGS basketball star pleads not guilty Former Downers Grove South High School basketball star Jerron Wilbut pleaded not guilty along with two others to charges of armed robbery on April 1, according to media reports. Wilbut, Kelechekwu Akuba and Leverenzel Booth made their pleas during separate hearings in front of DuPage County Circuit Court Judge John Kinsella, who informed the men that the DuPage County State’s Attorney had filed aggravated robbery and armed robbery charges against the men in addition to the origi-

nal robbery charges. The armed robbery charge carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. Wilbut, of Willowbrook, Akuba, of Romeoville, and Booth, of Darien, were all charged after they allegedly stole money and property from a juvenile in Clarendon Hills while displaying what the victim believed to be a handgun. Wilbut graduated from Downers Grove South High School in 2012 after three years on the varsity squad.

Global water pump maker plans Downers Grove office DOWNERS GROVE – A leading international water pump manufacturer will break ground for its new North American headquarters in Downers Grove on Tuesday. The privately held Danish company, Grundfos, has grown nearly five-fold in the United States over the past decade, with plans to reach $1 billion in revenue by 2016, according to a press release. Worldwide, Grundfos had revenues of $3.7 billion last year. The new 10,871-square-foot, LEED-certified headquarters will use Energy Star-rated equipment and the latest technology in lighting and controls, as well as sustainable building materials for the office’s furniture, flooring and fixtures. The company anticipates about 30 high-wage new jobs, including a number of senior executives who will relocate from Kansas City, the site of the

company’s headquarters since 2001. The new office is in the Esplanade at Locust Point, 2001 Butterfield Road.

people share their stories of the war. Another part of Kubik’s efforts is to bring awareness to the war, which he said most Americans are unaware of. Several organizations aiding the Syrian people have been set up. Kubik recommended international organizations such as the The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and local organizations the Karam Foundation of Chicago and the Syrian American Council of Chicago. “There were over 6,000 people killed in the war in March alone, and over 90,000 have died so far,” he said. “It is turning into a huge humanitarian issue now, and something needs to be done. I believe I am making a difference by not just sitting here ignoring it.”

WESTMONT — Jim Kubik is a man of many roles. The Westmont resident is an artist who specializes in tile and ceramic glass art, a-stay-at-home father of two, a former U.S. Marine who served in Iraq in the first Gulf War and, most recently, an activist giving a voice for victims of the two-year war in Syria. Kubik is now on a mission to help spread the word to as many people as possible, locally and globally, about the horrors that have gone on in Syria. He believes anyone can make a difference. “Before getting involved in this, I really knew very little about Syria,” he said. “I had served in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm, and had some knowledge of the Middle East, but it was hearing the stories of the atrocities the people in Syria were going through that made me step up and do something.” About a year ago, Kubik began connecting with people through social media networks and learned about the “Arab Spring” uprising of the past three years – people in countries such as Tunisia, Egypt and Libya have risen up to demand freedom after years of oppression. Much of what he has heard has been from Syrians themselves, he said. “The stories you here from these people, the terrible things they have experienced – I want people to know what I feel is the truth of what is going on over there,” he said. “This is why I want to do what I can to help these people.” Kubik has participated in a number of events and activities, such as attending and speaking out at protests against the Syrian government and various fundraisers for Syrian children. He is also active on Radio Free Syria, an Internet radio network that broadcasts all over the world where Syrian

Restaurant reviews

Hawthorne’s Backyard proves cozy dining retreat With a little imagination, you might think you’ve wandered off a Montana turnpike and landed in a rustic, rural roadhouse at Hawthorne’s Backyard in West Chicago. The post-and-beam construction in the dining room set on four acres of wooded grounds help fuel the illusion. And the restaurant and bar definitely cater to logger-size appetites with generous portions of homemade fare. Among the standouts is Momma’s Pot Roast sandwich, which we tried in its appetizer incarnation, happily learning we were in for the Tuesday half-price deal on starters. Served as four sliders on soft buns, they were big on well-seasoned, slow-cooked flavor. “Frazzled Onions” topped the sliders and my dining companion’s pulled-pork sandwich. Fine ribbons of crispy, battered onions lend a tangy touch as garnish and are a lighter, tasty alternative to onion rings. We shared a cup of the grill’s signature tomato-artichoke soup, prepared with big

chunks of artichoke in a mildly piquant, light broth. The pulled-pork sandwich serves as a taste test for the fullfledged pig roasts Hawthorne’s holds, including catering private events. “Very tasty,” was the twoword review as my companion gave full attention to the sandwich in hand, served with creamy cole slaw that has a gentle kick. It’s one of a choice of sides. The adjoining bar offers seven beers on tap, including Guinness, and an ample list of standard domestic and imported beers. Hawthorne’s also delivers its own twist on cocktails, including a Jack Honey Breakfast Shot whose ingredients include bacon. There’s no wine list. Our server recommended the wings and the barbecue ribs, and I couldn’t resist the latter. Incredibly flavorful, the baby back ribs didn’t require a slathering of the extra house barbecue sauce provided, but spoke volumes about taste all by themselves.

Hawthorne’s Backyard Address: 1200 W. Hawthorne Lane, West Chicago Contact: www.hawthornes backyard.com, 630-293-6700 Hours: 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Monday through Thursday and Sunday; 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday; full kitchen closes earlier Dress code: Casual Suburban Life Media

A half order of ribs at Hawthorne’s Backyard in West Chicago comes sions tuned silently to sports. with choice of two sides and soup or salad. When warm weather Entrees at Hawthorne’s Backyard range from $10.99 to $19.99, with Saturday nights featuring a crab leg and prime rib buffet for $25.99, beginning at 5 p.m. Bands play most Saturdays on the stage in the dining room, where a few tables are moved aside to accommodate dancing. The music usually ranges between rock and country, explained

the server, noting it kicks off after 9 p.m. For seafood fans, he recommends the barbecue grilled salmon entree and a blackened grouper sandwich. A holdover from the previous restaurant at the site is the “King James” fish fry Friday nights. The casual, family-friendly dining room offers tables and booths, and has several televi-

Suburban fashionistas Lisa and Kaitlyn Fergus find style fix By ALLISON HORNE msleditorial@shawmedia.com Many women would admit they’re guilty of a slight shopping addiction, whether it’s clothes, jewelry, shoes or accessories. And that’s where Because I Shop Too Much comes in. Co-creators Kaitlyn Fergus of Downers Grove and sister-in-law Lisa Fergus of Westchester recognized the problem in their own lives. As their solution to buying new clothes all the time, they began swapping and repurposing their apparel with one other. That spawned the idea for the duo’s website, Because I Shop Too Much, which launched last year. It was an idea that made sense - Kaitlyn combined her marketing experience with Lisa’s fashion (and motherhood) blogging passion, and the budding social media

More info What: Sisters-in-law develop online shopping forum where guests trade, buy or sell clothes straight out of their closet More info: bistm.com, or Lisa’s sister site at www.stilettosand diaperbags.com; both contribute to sistersmarie.blogspot.com Submitted photo

Sisters-in-law Lisa (left) and Kaitlyn Fergus invented the Because I Shop Too Much website. shopping site emerged. Users on the site have their own “closets,” where they can sell items and search through other users’ interactive closets to find styles and clothes they like. The site uses social media to stay connected and find “friends” whose styles they would wear. BISTM is set up so

users can keep in touch with people who share the same size and fashion sense. Selling, buying and trading are all possible on the site - sometimes with people hundreds of miles away. More than 500 women and six men are registered on the site, with 4,000 items to choose from. The duo also is branching out with Because They Grow Too Fast, a similar site that just launched - dedicated to

children’s clothing. Both also blog about style as the Sisters Marie (aptly titled after both their middle names).

swap and trade clothes just as I was doing from my blog. It’s just one big database.

How did the BISTM website get started? Kaitlyn: Well, we first started

What makes this site different than other shopping sites like eBay or Amazon? L: For me, I like the site

having the conversation because we always wanted new clothes for an event we were going to. We would swap clothes, so we could get something new without spending a ton of money every time. It’s one huge closet for everyone online. Lisa: I started a blog called ‘Stilettos & Diaper Bags’ about three years ago. About a year ago, I started getting questions like, ‘Can I buy from you?’ ‘Where can I get that?’ And I started selling my clothes right off my blog. I started asking around and engaging friends to see if there was a market for it. I figured we could buy, sell,

better for two reasons - the percentage of money that you’re actually getting as a seller, and because there’s a social media networking aspect. Instead of buying from someone you’re never going to see again, you can say, ‘Thanks for shopping in my closet,’ and they can let me know if they want anything else. It’s a lot more personable. K: I think a lot of young women our age like the idea that they can come to this … fashion marketplace. Girls who love style feel like it’s a niche - they can go here, and it’s different than sites that sell everything.

Downers Grove South’s Kevin Raher (right) is greeted by teammates after one of his two home runs in the Mustangs’ Game 1 win over Hinsdale South Saturday in Downers Grove.

DOWN E R S G R O V E — Pitching is Brian Glowicki’s strong suit on the baseball field, but it has been a struggle at times this season. “It has been a little tough. The beginning of the season, our first few games were in Arizona in 80-degree weather,” Glowicki said. “Coming back to this, it’s been a

challenge to get used to the weather and getting a feel for the mound because it’s all been really different.” Glowicki got the starting nod in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader against West Suburban Gold-rival Hinsdale South, and once

again the conditions were far from ideal. With winds constantly howling out to left field and temperatures that started in the mid-40s, it was definitely not a pitcher’s day. Yet Glowicki did enough to keep the Mustangs in a game they ended up winning 7-6. “I just went out there and battled. I was trying to hit my spots as best I could,” Glowicki said. “It was tough out there in these (windy) conditions, but we battled back and got the win. Glowicki got tagged for two runs (one unearned) in the fourth inning and sur-

rendered three in the fifth as Hinsdale South took a 6-5 lead. Kevin Raher’s two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth put the Mustangs in front for good and made a winner of Nick Alfini, who pitched two shutout innings in relief of Glowicki and started the 1-6-3 game-ending double play. He worked around two hits in the sixth inning and a one-out single in the seventh to continue his impressive start to the season. “Alfini is 4-0, all out of the pen like that,” Downers South coach Darren Orel said. “That kid just comes in and plays a role, and

there’s not a better kid in the world.” Raher’s solo homer to lead off the second broke a 1-1 tie and was the first blow in Downers Grove South’s four-run frame. “Hats off to the kids,” Orel said. “They made some great plays when we had to and got big hits when we needed them.” Hinsdale South won the second game 11-1, thanks in large part to a seven-run fourth inning. Downers Grove South (8-3) and Hinsdale South (7-2) were set to play the final game of the series Monday in Darien.

North coach ‘pleased’ despite rare early losses By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE — Downers Grove North’s softball team isn’t used to suffering its third loss so early in the season. The Trojans topped Manteno but fell to Andrew and Lockport at the Providence tournament over the weekend. But considering the circumstances, the Trojans will take it. “All in all, I think we’re trying to find our positions,” head coach Mark Magro said. “I was pleased with the way we played. I wasn’t disappointed with the way we played. We haven’t lost three games this early for a long time, but with Dale (Ryndak) being hurt we’re finding our way.” Elaine Heflin struck out 12 and had nine put-outs in pitching a perfect game in the Trojans’ 3-0 win over Manteno Friday. She suffered the loss as North (5-3) fell to Andrew 2-1 Saturday morning. If not for Ryndak’s season-ending knee injury, she and He-

flin would be splitting pitching duties. Instead, junior Anne Lusher has moved into the Trojans’ No. 2 pitching role. She was in the circle for North’s 11-8 loss to Lockport in the tourney finale, but she was the victim of six unearned runs in the first inning. “She’s been put in a tough spot but she’s doing well,” Magro said of Lusher. “She’s usually an outfielder, but now as a pitcher she’s gaining confidence and keeping us in games.” Offensively, leadoff hitter Carolyn Nojiri is batting at a .720 clip so far this season, while Kelsey Gockman, Brittany Nagy, Madeline Wojciak and Hannah Mrazek are providing some pop further down the lineup.

Mustangs score 27 runs in doubleheader split By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOW N E R S G R O V E — More often than not, scoring 27 runs in two games is going to lead to two wins. The Mustangs had to settle for a split of a weekend doubleheader in Sterling, falling 11-10 in the first game but winning Game 2 17-10. “Offensively we’re hitting well and scoring runs, but we

have to get a little better defensively,” South coach Ron Havelka said. “Defensively

we’re not where we need to be.” Crystal Loehman, Caitlyn Daly and Zahryha McFarland all hit home runs over the weekend as South’s record moved to 4-2 ahead of games against Naperville North and Naperville Central (April 11 in Naperville) this week. Kelly Schmitt carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning of Friday’s 8-2 win over Plainfield North. Offensive-

ly, Loehman, Daly, Kristin Lea, Melissa Orton, Jessica Andree and Kaley Smith all had two hits against Plainfield, while Orton and Daly each drove in two runs. Havelka is hoping the pitching, offense and defense can take care of business starting with Saturday’s doubleheader against Peotone and Lockport. Those two games start a stretch of nine games in a week and six in

a row on the road, which includes contests against Hinsdale South (April 15), Benet (April 16), Leyden (April 17) and Marist (April 18). “We’ve got a lot of games coming up, so that’s going to show us where we’re at,” Havelka said. “We’re a young team. We’ve got a taste of what it’s all about in the first six games, and now we can learn from it and build on it.”

BOYS TENNIS PREVIEW | 2013 Downers Grove South

8PREP ROUNDUP BASEBALL Downers Grove North The Trojans split a doubleheader Saturday with West Suburban Silver conference favorite Lyons Township. North won the opener 6-3 and LT took the nightcap 3-2. After LT jumped to a 3-0 lead, North’s Troy Southard earned the win in Game 1, backed by a home run from David Henson and doubles from Ray Greco and Joe Provenzano. North answered LT’s two seventh-inning runs with two in the bottom of the frame, but the Lions held on for the 3-2 win in Game 2. Connor Kopach homered for the Trojans.

GIRLS SOCCER Downers Grove South The Mustangs fell to 6-3 on the year with Saturday’s 2-1 loss to defending state champ Naperville North.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL Downers Grove South The Mustangs went 4-1 and finished second at the Glenbard East Springfest tournament on Saturday.

Artus will play No. 2 singles with 2012 state qualifier Tony Leto playing in the lead singles slot. In doubles play, the coach will pair the experience of Cody Freischlag with the youth of Christian San Andres, who the coach said has played internationally. Pete Freischlag plans to pair Zach Wood, a ranked player in the Midwest, with Ryan McMillan. Duals against Naperville Central (Wednesday in Downers Grove), Hinsdale Central (April 16) and New Trier (April 18) will show South how far they’ve

South was perfect in pool play, topping Romeoville (25-11, 25-14), Schaumburg (30-28, 25-18) and Plainfield Central (25-15, 25-19) in pool play to move on to the championship bracket. The Mustangs topped Glenbard North 25-13, 25-21 in the first match of bracket play before falling 25-20, 25-27, 25-19 to Neuqua Valley in the championship match.

Murray and anchor Smith was second with a time of 8:42.68. Kyle Leto, Kyron Belcher, Sean Sandaz and Charles Creamer finished second in the 4 x 200 relay (1:36.78). Anthony Zea clocked a 4:26.79 to finish second in the 1,600 run.

Downers Grove North In their most recent match, the Trojans topped Morton 25-16, 25-21 in a West Suburban Conference crossover match Thursday.

BOYS TRACK & FIELD Downers Grove North Competing at the Glenbard South Raider Open meet, the Trojans finished second overall with 126 points. North had champions in three events: Jack Czyewicz in pole vault (12 feet), Nicholas Janicki in discus (140-2) and Zach Smith in the 800-meter run (2:03.90). The Trojans also had six other top-three showings, including Eric Wisz (second, 11-6) and Alex Holler (third, 11 feet) in pole vault. Janicki was second in shot put (44-9.5), just ahead of teammate Marckus Simmons (third, 43-10). Simmons was second in discus with a mark of 130-3.

come and how far they have to go before their own sectional tournament May 18.

Downers Grove North Coach: Dana Graczyk Top players: Tristan Burnham sr. Mantas Kisielius jr. What to watch: The Trojans will build around the state-qualifying doubles team of Tristan Burnham and Mantas Kisielius this season. That duo will look to lead what the Trojans hope is a full contingent of six players to this year’s state tournament.

North should be plenty ready for the rigors of the postseason after facing the likes of Hinsdale Central and Lyons Township during the West Suburban Silver conference season.
