WESTMONT – When it comes to helping out, Ruth Vrtis of Westmont is always game. The Westmont High School senior helped organize a board game drive earlier this year to benefit families of patients – and the patients themselves – at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital. The cause was one close to Vrtis and her family, who have spent a lot of time in hospital waiting rooms while her sister, Lisa Rapp, 28, was receiving chemotherapy and other cancer treatments while battling leukemia. Vrtis explained that passing the time is often tough to do while waiting for a loved one at the hospital. Playing board games helped do just that. One day, the Vrtis family decided to leave some of their games behind to share with other families. “After spending so much time there with my family, I thought that donating some more games was a way I could help out, and it was something that the hospital really needed,” Vrtis said. To help with the project, Vrtis approached Westmont High School staff member Kathy Lott, coordinator of the school’s Rotatry Interact Club – of which Vrtis is a member – about using the game drive as a service project for the club. Rotary Interact is a service club at the high school with about 40 student members

Willowbrook man claims $2 million lottery winnings Voters speak, By DAVID HEITZ dheitz@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – A Willowbrook man is $2 million richer after buying the winning ticket at a Westmont convenience store last month. Charles Malone, a Vietnam veteran and retired nurse from Edward Hines VA Hospital, formally claimed his winnings for the $2 million Powerball Lottery prize April 3 after matching five numbers, and the Powerball number, in the March 16 Powerball drawing. The Illinois Lottery held a check presentation ceremony April 3 at Falcon Pantry, 6601 S. Cass Ave., where Malone was formally introduced as the winner. Malone said his wife, Abby, originally told him that he had won after she scanned the ticket that her husband bought the day after the drawing in the lottery ticket checker at Falcon Pantry, and she called him at home when she believed he won. “She was all hysterical when she called, and I drove over to the store and scanned the ticket myself, and it said I matched five numbers,” he said. “That is when it hit me that I won. I was shocked.” But Malone also said he wanted to

keep it “low key” 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 – Voters in Westmont made some key decisions in Tuesday’s elections.

Westmont soldier returns home with a hero’s welcome

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-

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.

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.

Westmont man’s latest role has him seeking aid for Syrians By DAVID HEITZ dheitz@shawmedia.com
For more information
WESTMONT — Jim Kubik is a man of many roles. The Westmont resident is an artist who specializes in tile and ceramic glass art, a-stayat-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 twoyear war in Syria. Kubik is now on a mission to help spread the word to as many people as possible, lo-

cally 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 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.”

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.

8NEWS BRIEFS Electronics recycling program resumes in May WESTMONT – Beginning in May, the village of Westmont will continue its partnership with DuPage County, the Westmont Park District and Creative Recycling, Inc. to provide a monthly Electronics Recycling Program in Westmont from May through December. The program will be held from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, May 10, and then will be held the same time on the second Friday of each month through December at the Ty Warner Park parking lot on the southwest corner of Blackhawk Drive and Plaza Drive. The program allows residents to drop off unwanted electronics and other items that cannot be discarded in the regular trash collection at no cost. “This program has been well-received by residents of the area,” said Public Works Director Steve May. “Not only is it convenient for for our citizens, but it keeps these items with harmful materials out of landfills.” For more information regarding what types of items are accepted in the program, visit the DuPage
County recycling information page at www.dupageco.org.
Human remains details could come this week WOODRIDGE – While the investigation into human remains found in Woodridge last month is still ongoing, the DuPage County Coroner’s Office said new information could be released later this week. The coroner’s office, along with Woodridge police, are investigating human remains that were found in a wooded area along the 7900 block of Lemont Road on March 30 by two youth walking through the area. A spokesperson for the coroner’s office said Monday the case is still under investigation and more information could be released later this week. Police have confirmed that the bones found were of human origin, but no indication has been given on exactly what was found, the age or sex of the deceased person, or how long the remains could have been at that location. The investigation will also focus on a cause of death, police said. – Suburban Life Media

When the hall first opened five years ago, musicians were eager to explore its capabilities. In 2009, Wis devised a program to, “Push the hall beyond its
boundaries: to challenge ourselves and the hall.” This involved staging musical performances in unlikely places, like the side staircase. At the same time, the music had to be aesthetically pleasing to an audience. Now, in their fifth year, they’ve designed a show that will flow seamlessly for a little more than an hour. There will be no pause for applause. Wis is not only pushing her students to the limit, but the audience also will be invited to participate in three pieces. They will be clapping and vocalizing in a “controlled” part-
nership with the performers. “Creativity equals courage,” Wis said. “We’ll be living on the edge.” Even the lighting will be “experimental.” The concert will begin in atmospheric, theater lighting. The staging will be “very organic” – no risers for the chorale singers. In fact, one vocal group will be standing in a circle facing each other, without a conductor. The audience will hear music from the balcony, the loft and from in front of the stage. “This is an Olympic event for the students,” Wis said. “They will learn how to be flexi-
ble musicians.” It’s also a daunting project for Wis, who has to coordinate the “flow of bodies” and a lot of behind-the-scenes logistics and technology. “It’s all hands on deck,” she said, “like in musical theater.” Audiences responded so well to earlier “Explore the Sound” concerts, the college had to add a second show. “It attracts a wide variety of interest from families, friends and faculty,” Wis said. “It also appeals to the broader community. Some audience members have said it’s their favorite event of the year.”

Earth Day is a great time to evaluate ways that we can be better stewards of our planet. At the Westmont Public Library, we take conservation seriously. One way residents can help us use fewer resources is by making use of our Friends of the Westmont Library book sale and donation system. Here is how it works:

COMMUNITY VOICE Kate Buckson
Your donations of lightly used books, DVDs and CDs help to stretch the library’s budget. Some of the donated materials are added to the collection which means the library spends less money buying new items. More importantly, the funds we receive when people purchase these donated materials helps raise money for library programs, reducing our dependence on tax dollars to improve services and programs for the community.

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 original 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. His senior year, the 6-foot-3 guard averaged 13.5 points per game and was considered a candidate for Mr. Basketball Illinois.

Rare diseases challenge Bolingbrook girl, her family By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Laughter is a powerful remedy, and while positive thinking, smiling and giggling might not be the best medicine for 4-yearold Bolingbrook resident Katie Churulo, it often helps her family cope. Katie is battling two rare, unrelated diseases – Truncus Arteriosus and Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis. As medical bills pile up, close friends, family and community members showed their support by gathering for a
fundraiser Friday night at Tailgaters Sports Bar and Grill. About 370 people attended the event, raising more than $21,000 for Katie and her family. “It was an amazing fundraiser,” said family friend and event organizer Dawn Swienton. “Katie is such a fighter and an inspiration to us all.” Tom and Stephanie, Katie’s parents, describe their youngest daughter as fearless, outgoing and full of love and energy, explaining that she has a “special way of doing things.”

On this particular day last week, Katie dashes from the family’s kitchen, sliding into the living room and onto her father’s lap. A smile from ear to ear, she giggles constantly, whispering secrets into the ear of her older brother, Lucas, before skipping down the stairs with her sister, Abby. Jacob, the oldest Churulo child, keenly watches everything, diligently protecting his baby sister. “Abby, Lucas and Jacob are very aware of Katie’s situation,” Stephanie Churulo explains. “They are patient with her, protective of her. The four of them have always been really close.” Katie was born Aug. 8, 2008 – about one month premature – and was diagnosed with the rare congenital heart defect Truncus Arteriosus. The youngest of the four Churulo children, the 13-day-old Katie underwent open-heart surgery to repair a hole between her left and right ventricles to prevent heart failure. Although she was in critical condition the first 48 hours
following the procedure, the surgery was a success. Katie even improved and stabilized without further intervention, a remarkable feat and testament to her strength, Stephanie Churulo said. But the family remained conscious that Katie would need a second open-heart surgery in the not-so-distant future. “She had her second openheart surgery when she was 2-and-a-half years old,” Stephanie Churulo said. “The doctors were amazed how strong she was and how quickly she recovered.” “We thought we wouldn’t have to worry about surgeries for at least five years, and it seemed like Katie finally caught a break,” Tom Churulo added. But in March 2012, just 10 months after her second surgery, Katie began running random, recurring fevers. After several more visits to the hospital and extensive blood work, doctors hypothesized multiple diseases but could not sufficiently diagnose the
child. Early last fall, the Churulos received a diagnosis: Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). An extremely rare immune system disorder involving over-production and activation of normal infection-fighting cells, HLH is unrelated to Katie’s heart problems. Rather, doctors determined it is a partial genetic defect that might require a bone marrow transplant. The family is also trying to pay for the mounting hospital visits and intermittent trips to Ohio to see an HLH specialist. But, in spite of the tumultuous last four years, they remain positive, thankful for family, friends and the many neighbors who have stepped up in their time of need. “This would have been impossible without the support from Bolingbrook, Lemont and our friends and family,” Tom Churulo said. “We feel blessed to have such amazing people in our lives.”
Are You Starting to See Excessive Dog Hair in Your Home? It’s beginning … the annual shedding of the winter coat of your beloved dog. The winter coat that your pet put on for the winter is beginning to release and allow for the summer coat to come in. This can be a minor inconvenience for some, or a downright blizzard of blowing dog hair for some dog owners – depending on the type of breed and coat. We have an awesome solution for you!!!!! We will give your dog a full spring cleaning treatment using the Furminator De-Shedding system.
This system is specially designed to dramatically reduce the amount of hair you will have in your home. This de-shedding system is a multistep process that uses special de-shedding tools, shampoo, conditioner and drying. This service normally costs anywhere from $20 to $40 extra on top of a regular grooming. But for this ad only, we are offering this service with a regular grooming for FREE. Just to show you the math, a regular grooming runs about $43, and with the de-shedding system, add another $20. This is a total cost of $63 in value. You get it for FREE. What are the catches? Only one… We are offering this to new customers to Belle Aire Grooming. If you have not had the chance to try our services, we would like the
opportunity to win you over with this fantastic offer. If you are new to us, give us a call at
630-969-3145 to book your appointment. We have given away over 65 free groomings in the last three months and people are just loving what we’re doing for them. The first grooming is on us, so give us a call today because we really do book up fast because we only have a couple of spots open a day. Finally, hopefully, we have seen the end of old man winter and we can start enjoying a new spring. I wish you and your pet all the best this new spring time. Warmest regards, John O’ Driscoll Owner Belle Aire Kennels & Grooming.

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 companies, 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 classical 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 scifi 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?”

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.

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.

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.

Sentinels break scoring drought with first goal of season By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com WESTMONT — The winter weather that lingered well into March made life difficult for girls soccer teams hoping to get outside for preseason practices. The weather affected Westmont a little more than most. A team that features five freshmen starters and carries 12 freshmen on the roster, the Sentinels’ first time on a game field was in their first game against Montini. “We were doing a crash course on techniques and positioning when we were inside, but we didn’t have a chance to do that outside,” coach Ron Neurauter said. “Before our first game, the only other time we were outside it was on a makeshift field with no goals and it was snowing.” Heading into a Monday game against visiting Rich East, the Sentinels were 0-6 and had been shut out five times. Junior Melissa Rodriguez notched Westmont’s first goal of the season Thursday

against Reed-Custer, tying the game 1-1 midway through the first half before the Comets stormed back for an 8-1 win. There was still plenty of silver lining to the loss. “We were a little discouraged we didn’t score the first five games, but now that we’ve scored everybody feels pretty confident we’re going to get another one soon.” Neurauter has seen freshmen Lily LaLonde, Erin Slattery, Carlin Hastings, Jessi Floyd and Eliana O’Malley make huge strides forward. Freshman keeper Halley Pardy saved 18 shots against ReedCuster and has impressed the coach with her play in net. “She’s really coming
Poel homers, Westmont softball splits with IC SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WESTMONT — Facing a potential regional playoff opponent Saturday, Westmont’s softball team split two games against visiting IC Catholic Prep. The Sentinels slugged out a 9-2 win in the first game of the day but dropped the second game 4-1. In the win, Skyler Poel was 3-for-4 with a home run while Amanda Anderson and Claire Conneely both went 2-for-3. Despite a stellar pitching performance from Susie Sternard, solid defense and 2-for-3 performances in Game 2, Westmont struggled pushing runs across the plate in the 4-1 loss.

Poel (2-for-4), Sternard (1-for-3) and Anderson (1for-3) were the offensive standouts as Westmont fell to Wilmington 4-1 Friday in the first game of the Interstate Eight Conference season. The Wildcats scored three first-inning runs which proved to be too much for Westmont to overcome.
along,” Neurauter said. “She’s learning to not just sit on the goal line but to come out and cut down the angles. She’s also a volleyball player, and sometimes she just comes out of nowhere to knock the ball away.” The Sentinels were scheduled to play their first Interstate Eight Conference game at Plano on Tuesday, and it won’t get any easier with conference favorites Herscher (April 16 in Herscher) and Lisle (April 18 in Westmont) still on the horizon. Westmont has taken its lumps so far, but the team is progressing and could be better for it in seasons to come. “The freshmen came through and saved the program (by coming out), and they’re blending well with the couple sophomores and juniors and our one senior,” Neurauter said. “Each game we’ve seen improvement. We’re coming along. We’re trying to put it all together Sarah Minor — sminor@shawmedia.com as soon as we can.

Big performances highlight Sentinels’ twinbill sweep SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WESTMONT — A day after a disappointing loss to Wilmington in the first Interstate Eight Conference game, Westmont’s baseball team had two memorable wins Saturday. The Sentinels mounted a huge comeback to top IC Catholic Prep 10-9 in the first game of the day, then got a dominant pitching performance from a newcomer to top IMSA 12-2 in six innings in the nightcap. Trailing IC 9-4 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Tom Franczak hit a three-run home run to trim the deficit to 9-7. Zach Moran followed with an RBI groundout to make it 9-8, and then Charlie Donovan hit a ball to the right field fence to score Ryan Schlicher to tie the

game. After he safely reached third base with a triple, Donovan scored the game-winning run on an error. Perhaps not as exciting, the game against IMSA was memorable because of the pitching performance on Andrew Rosol. The sophomore went all six innings, allowing just
three hits, two walks and two unearned runs while striking out 14 to earn his first varsity win. Offensively, Moran was 2-for-2 with three walks and three RBIs, Donovan was 2-for4 with four RBIs, and Schlicher and Greg Pietrzak each went 2-for-4 as the Sentinels improved to 6-3 overall. Jean Pietrzak was the tough-luck loser in Friday’s I-8 game against Wilmington. He worked five-2/3 innings giving up five runs, but only one was earned. Westmont led 2-1 in the top of the sixth when the defense fell apart defensively and Westmont allowed four unearned runs. Franczak and Schlicher generated the only offense with a pair of hits, and Pietrzak fell to 2-1 on the year.

Cody Freischlag was named to the all-state team last year, his third such designation. Jon Artus was named all-state in 2010.
