SD • Wednesday, April 17, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Reporter | Progress

WESTMONT – When Linda Sobotka tells people all the organizations she is involved with in Westmont, people wonder how she does it.

From volunteering with the People’s Resource Center’s Clothes Closet to the Westmont Special Events Corporation to serving at Holy Trinity Church and the Knights of Columbus Woman’s Auxiliary group, her plate is quite full.

Still, she says the rewards are endless.

“I give a lot of credit to my husband, Greg,” she said. “He does a lot of things around the house that give me the time to do this work in the community.”

Sobotka was recognized for her volunteer service last month when she received the Paul Harris Award from the Westmont Rotary Club.

The annual award is given by the Rotary to individuals for recognition of an exceptional level of community service and leadership through long-standing and ongoing local volunteer work. The award was given to her in front of more than 100 people at the annual Westmont Community Awards Dinner in March.

“I was shocked that I won it,” Sobotka said. “I went to the ceremony because Hank Anzelone of the People’s Resource Center was nominated for Citizen of the Year. I had no idea I was getting the Paul Harris Award when they called my name.”

For Sobotka, who in 2011 was named Westmont Citizen of the Year herself, volunteering is contagious.

“Most people think that helping out is very time-consuming, but actually, we have positions at the WSEC where people can volunteer as little as one or two hours a month,” Sobotka said. “We can always use more help, and any service, no matter how little of time people can give, is a big help.”

Q & A with the Hearing Doctor Q: Are there any surgeries that might correct hearing loss?

A: In some cases, Yes. However, there are very few cases when surgery is the best option. he starting point is your visit with the Doctor of Audiology Dr. Terri Lightbody where a (630) 580-5777 comprehensive case history helps to uncover potential health issues that may contribute to hearing loss. Comprehensive testing is then chosen, based on the patient’s complaints and symptoms and case history, to thoroughly evaluate the auditory system and the underlying cause of the hearing loss. As stated, in many cases, once the damage is done, it cannot be reversed by medical or surgical intervention.

In these cases, hearing aids, communication strategies, and counseling are important tools to help restore communication ability.

If the Doctor of Audiology identiies the need for medical

intervention, the patient is referred on to their primary care physician or to a reputable Otolaryngologist. here is a hearing device which is implanted—surgically. It is still a hearing aid, but you have to go through surgery. here are a few patients who cannot wear conventional hearing devices due to an allergic reaction to the hearing aid material or even a deformed ear. hey may be a candidate for a surgically implantable hearing aid. My belief is that if surgery is not 100% necessary, then why subject yourself to something that has risk factors and is not foolproof? Working with a conventional hearing device will bypass the possible complications of surgery. he good news is that hearing loss is almost always treatable!

Improving your hearing is an important step to improve your communication capabilities and help you reconnect to your family and world. here are diferent journeys, however the expected outcome is the same, changed lives.

New faces coming to D-201, D-60 school boards WESTMONT – There will be new faces on the school boards for both Community Unit School District 201 and Maercker School District 60, as incumbents on both boards either lost re-election bids or chose not to run again in the April 9 elections.

In District 201, where four seats on the board of education were uncontested, incumbents Marie Charlton and Joel Price will join newcomers Mara Notbusch and Matt Johnson. Current incumbents Dan Charleston and Diann Thomas chose not to seek re-election.

In District 60, where six candidates were looking to fill four seats, incumbent school board president Paul Watkis was defeated in his bid to be re-elected, while incumbents Lisa Bishop and Patricia Dieball retained their seats.

With all precincts reporting, Bishop had 820 votes and Dieball had 742 votes, followed by newcomers Michael Gombosi with 712 votes, and Arthur L.Andersen with 639.

Watkis finished fifth with 549 votes and Pradeep Tekkey with 545 in their failed bids.

All results are considered unofficial until they are verified by the county clerk and absentee ballots are tallied.

Incumbent wins in township supervisor race Residents in Downers Grove Township elected to keep the same leadership, voting to re-elect incumbent Supervisor Frank Wurster by a large margin April 9.

Wurster, a Downers Grove resident who ran on the Republican ticket for the office of township supervisor, defeated Democratic challenger Karol Ann Sole by more than 3,400 votes.

Wurster received 8,703 votes, while Sole, of Westmont, received 5,275 votes.

All results are considered unofficial until they are verified by the county clerk and absentee ballots are tallied.

Wurster, who has served as supervisor since 2009, campaigned on his experience and keeping taxes low, while Sole’s message was the office, under her leadership, could be run more efficiently and effectively that it has been operating the past four years.

A: Public health dentistry has been recognized by the American Dental Association since 1950 as one of the specialized areas that some dentists choose to pursue after completing their basic dental education, which is generally a four-year undergraduate degree followed by three to four years in dental school to earn a dental degree.

Some dentists choose to go on to one of the recognized areas of specialty. For instance, an orthodontist specializes in the use of appliances, like braces, in the mouth.

As opposed to having a number of individual patients in his practice, the public health dentist has the responsibility of promoting oral health and controlling oral disease for an entire community. After completing basic training, the public health dentist will go on to further education in, among other things, public health administration and research methodology.

Depending on the oral health needs of the community, the public health dentist will work with other health professionals, the government and community-based organizations to develop policies to meet the needs of the populace.

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com DUPAGE COUNTY – DuPage County voting stations reported a 17.10 percent voter turnout for local elections April 9.

The turnout is in line with numbers from past consolidated elections, according to DuPage County Election Commission Executive Director Robert Saar.

“These figures pretty much mirror the previous consolidated elections,” Saar said.

Saar thought that while it was possible voter turnout could spike as high as 23.5 percent, such lofty numbers were “very unlikely.”

He also said that a majority of voters were residents in their 40s, 50s and 60s.

DuPage County has 568,194 registered voters.

Naperville runner at Boston Marathon: ‘This isn’t right’

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com NAPERVILLE – Christine Bell was rounding the final turn of the Boston Marathon when she heard the two explosions.

“I heard it go off,” she said.

“Two of them.”

She then saw a cloud of white smoke and thought, “This isn’t right.”

Bell, of Naperville, was about 400 meters from completing the marathon when

two explosions went off at the finish line of Monday’s race, killing at least three and injuring dozens. Someone nearby said the explosion sounded like a subway.

With the finish so close, Bell — a teacher at Naperville Central High School — kept running. She saw a bunch of police officers start to run toward the scene “like in a movie,” she said.

Bell reached a point about 200 meters from the finish before one of those officers told

her to stop.

“They stopped us and said, ‘Just wait,’” said Bell, who was told the bombs went off in garbage cans.

After being pushed to the side, the runners were then told to move backward, Bell said. She reached the intersection of Boylston and Hereford streets, where she had made the final turn. But she didn’t know where to go, so she started asking people for help.

NATURE’S BEST FRESH MARKET

Tully, Addison Mayor Larry Hartwig and Hanover Park Mayor Rodney Craig, among others, say they want a threshold written into the bill that would allow projects under a certain dollar amount, say $250,000, to avoid the requirement. The threshold would allow smaller companies that can’t afford federally approved training programs to bid on smaller projects they’re readily able to handle.

tus as a “responsible bidder,” a requirement the mayors say many “mom and pop” contractors can’t afford.

“Legislation like this, though well-intended, has the impact of actually making it more difficult for local businesses to compete,” Tully said. “It has the consequence of limiting our ability to do what we think is in the best interest of our community with the funds we have available, and ultimately costs our taxpayers more money.”

DuPage County Mayors Conference lays out legislative wish list for 2013

Westmont looking for feedback on new survey SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WESTMONT – As part of the Village of Westmont’s new Comprehensive Plan, 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/ For more information, contact Shannon Malik at smalik@ westmont.il.gov or 630-981-6265.

Westmont sisters share their story in contest They hope to win handicapped-accessible van as part of National Mobility Awareness Month

By DAVID HEITZ msleditorial@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – Georgette Guy has a knack for defying.

The 43-year-old Westmont woman was born a hydrocephalic – that is, a person with severe disabilities due a buildup of fluid in the brain and skull – and was told she wouldn’t live past age 12.

“Now, she is 43 years old

and has endured so much in her life,” said Dawn Guy, Georgette’s caretaker and sister.

“People say that because her quality of life is so bad that she can’t learn anything, but she has learned so much, and she has taught me so much more.”

Georgette was diagnosed with the ailment shortly after birth, and has been in an “infancy stage” since. She cannot walk or speak, nor can she do

anything physically, Dawn Guy said.

But she can hear, show emotion and understand her surroundings, Guy said.

Dawn Guy has been Georgette’s primary caretaker since her mother and older sister died. She’s been forced to put her life on hold, including a career in criminal justice and homeland security, to care for her sister 24 hours a day.

The mayors are members of the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference, an organization that makes regular trips to the state capital to meet with legislators and address issues that affect municipalities.

Tully, Hartwig, Craig and Mark Baloga, executive director of the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference, met with editorial staff of Suburban Life Media Friday.

Included in the discussion was a checklist of the conference’s legislative positions for 2013.

One item on their checklist was recently crossed off when the House voted down Bill 89, which would have limited municipalities from raising the property tax levy in

the cost of their pension, resetting the retirement age for public safety employees from 50 to 55, and requiring 35 years of employment to take advantage of maximum pension benefits.

Several other items on their list could have large impacts on local bottom lines: • House Bill 1490: This would direct arbitrators to consider a city’s ability to pay when it decides on a labor contract.

Currently, when contract negotiations with police and fire unions come to impasse, an arbitrator is brought in to pick the offer either from the

years when the assessed value of property did not rise. The mayors opposed the bill.

A top, ongoing priority again this year is pension reform, especially the police and fire pensions that eat a continually larger slice of the local revenue pie.

“Our long-term goal is to flatten the costs over time,” Craig said. “Today it’s ramping up, and it’s unsustainable.”

The mayors have several recommendations to flatten pension costs, including requiring public safety employees to contribute more toward

A man who lived nearby gave her a sweatshirt to keep warm. Other runners around her were given trash bags, she said.

Eventually, Bell found her way back to the bus, where her bag was being held before returning to her hotel.

Bell, 45, has run dozens of marathons and is a member of the Dick Pond Fast Track Racing Team, which sent about 25 runners to the marathon, she said. The team is sponsored

by Dick Pond Athletics, a running and sporting goods store with five Chicago-area locations, including one in Lisle.

Eric Brechtel, manager of the Lisle location, was standing in front of the LensCrafters on Boylston Street for almost four hours of the race, waiting for his girlfriend, Amy Burns, to reach the finish line.

Burns crossed the line after 3 hours, 55 minutes and 11 seconds. Brechtel and Burns then made the five-minute

walk to their hotel. They didn’t hear the news until they turned on the TV. “We literally just missed it,” Brechtel said.

About 10 minutes after Brechtel and Burns left the finish line area, the explosions erupted.

“I stood right in front of all those shops for, like, four hours today, right where it happened,” Brechtel said Monday afternoon.

Initially, Brechtel had difficulty notifying people that he and Burns were OK. “I just got cellphone service,” Brechtel said about three hours after Burns finished. “I couldn’t even send texts. I would get a bunch of texts in waves, 10 or 15 in a row, but I couldn’t respond to any of them.”

Brechtel said the hotel where he and Burns are staying, the Boston Park Plaza Hotel & Towers near the finish line, was on lockdown and that he and Burns had been instructed to stay in their room. FBI agents were inspecting the lobby, he said.

Continued from page 5 Even weeks before the election, Gunter, since running uncontested for the mayor’s seat, has been meeting with village officials and departments learning about the position of mayor, and said he wants a smooth transition process from the old board to the new.

Addington, who served one term as Westmont mayor from 1993-97, said getting elected was the easy part of the job, and the real challenge starts when he and the new board are seated.

“Now comes the hard part of working together to get this

village going in the right direction,” Addington said. “In talking with residents during the campaign, I found out a lot of people are not happy with how the village has been run. Now, we have a chance to change that.”

Barker, who ran on a “Westmont First” campaign of promoting shopping and dining in the village, plans to put the program into action by asking residents to get involved in Westmont, keeping a positive attitude about the village, and spending money in Westmont to keep the local businesses strong and keep the tax base local, he said.

“While there are always issues to be addressed and problems to overcome, we will be serving our community best if we do so with a positive demeanor focusing on forming ideas rather than issuing complaints,” Barker said about his “Westmont First” plan. “We can better promote Westmont if we are positive in our approach to various issues.”

Barry, owner of Barry Aluminum and Windows in downtown Westmont, campaigned on growing the business community, saying the new Westmont Village Board will need to have a more business-friendly image in the community.

He said one of the first things he would like to do when he is sworn in is to review the village’s plans to have all buildings in downtown Westmont install sprinkler systems by July 2015. Some business owners and landlords have had concerns because of the enormous cost of adding sprinklers to already existing buildings.

“I know at least two business owners who said they would have to close their businesses if this goes through,” Barry said. “I am only one voice on the board, but it is something I want to look at.”

Scheid, who ran on his financial background as a tax at-

torney and an accountant, said he worked hard to get his name out there on his second run for village trustee.

“I don’t have the name recognition as some of the other candidates do, so I really had to work to get the message out there,” Scheid said. “I tried to make my message much more focused for the voters this time around.”

Scheid said this will probably be his last campaign for trustee, as he doesn’t forsee himself running again.

“Twice is enough,” Scheid said. “I put my heart and soul into this. I probably won’t do it again.”

As part of National Mobility Awareness Month in May, nonprofit National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association is holding the annual Local Heroes program.

People from communities across the country can submit their stories on the National Mobility Awareness Month website about how their families and those who require special needs have

overcome their disabilities to have a positive impact on the lives of those around them.

nationwide.

When asked how Dawn copes with such a responsibility, she said it is her faith in God that keeps her strong.

“There is a higher power that I, as well as my family, can trust,” Guy said. “Georgette has such a spiritual peace about her, even though she has endured many medical trials, that anyone can see she is totally connected

Some streets were nicely lined with an array of containers, many of them recycle items.

a single program with different branches. The SKILLS Act could simplify the maze of job-training programs, making actual job training more straightforward and accessible.

Congressman Peter Roskam of the Sixth Congressional District in Illinois has been a jobs advocate for the unemployed, and he voted for the SKILLS Act. In a recent statement, Roskam said, “In an unpredictable and changing world, the SKILLS Act works to help Americans get the skills they need to stay competitive in today’s workforce.”

With 12 million Americans out of work, we want to help those who need jobs, but to do it in a smart and frugal way in light of our massive state and federal debt. We can have both with the SKILLS Act. I hope that our legislators will support the measure.

Dinosaurs roam, roar again at Brookfield Zoo

By DEBORAH KADIN msleditorial@shawmedia.com RIVERSIDE – Generations have been drawn to dinosaurs, fascinated by their size, abilities and even how the huge creatures met their doom.

A new exhibit at Brookfield Zoo will add another potential fascination – that they may have more in common with today’s birds than previously thought.

Dinosaurs Alive!, which opened April 6, is an animatronics display featuring many – and some unfamiliar – specimens of these ancient creatures.

A total of 24 life-size creatures inhabit the exhibit and are elevated to movie-star status, with fun, easy-to-understand signage that is a hallmark of many of the displays at the zoo. Other signage draws connections between the animals of the past and those of the present.

A pit is included so that visitors can dig for fossils and an interactive display can help youngsters and older folk learn more about them.

Along a dusty trail, visitors can see many of the dinosaurs that they no doubt grew up learning about. There’s a Stegosaurus that had back legs twice as long as its front legs, and Triceratops too. Did you know that the head of a Triceratops encompassed onethird of its overall body length?

These are the type of fun facts informing visitors to the exhibit.

And of course, for all those who love to spend time browsing, there’s a gift shop filled with dinosaur-related items.

While it might be fun craning your head to watch in amazement the Styracosaurus or the Dilophosaurus, it’s the indoor portion of this exhibit that might be even more interesting to visitors.

The indoor showcase highlights the most recent findings in dinosaur science. In the past few years, scientists have begun to find out even more that lends credence to the idea that birds evolved from dinosaurs.

In parts of the Far East and right here in the western United States, scientists have

found that a number of species – including the feared Tyrannosaurus Rex – had feathers, said Jamie Zite- Strumbris, the interpretative programs coordinator of the exhibition, who created the text for the signage in the displays.

“Juveniles in particular had downy feathers. The coat was either to keep them warm or for display to catch a mate,” said Zite- Strumbris, who noted it is not certain that the feathers molted over time or they remained. “They might not have been cold-blooded like reptiles as we once thought.”

Moreover, the T-Rex is more birdlike than previously thought: it had hollow bones similar to birds and it laid broods of eggs. And it’s quite likely that they ate dead animals, similar to buzzards and vultures, she noted.

Another dinosaur, Confuciusornis, found in China, had flight feathers, longer than its body, showing that it had already diverged from the evolutionary line that led to modern birds, according to zoo officials. This animal had a wish bone and a toothless beak like a bird as well. It is the earliest known bird related to the dinosaur, zoo officials said.

Guests will also learn about how dinosaurs can be relevant to today’s world.

No one really knows for certain why or how dinosaurs became extinct. Some scientists speculate that a huge comet or meteor struck the Earth, or there was a massive volcanic event.

Relvant in today’s world, guests will learn that changes in climate may have led to their extinction. What happened to these creatures can give some glimpses into the planet’s future, said Andre Copeland, interpretative programs manager, who helped coordinate the exhibit.

“By studying the past we start to disprove some theories.

We learn how sudden drastic changes can cause mass extinction. Animals can adapt so long as they have enough time to adapt to their environment,” he said.

“This helps us see how we can proceed into the future and look for links to the past.”

Montini art teacher reflects on 20 years at school

By SARAH SMALL ssmall@shawmedia.com

About Wanda Drabik

LOMBARD — Wanda Drabik taught her first art classes at Montini Catholic High School in the old convent that formerly housed the nuns who lived on the school’s campus.

Fast-forward 20 years, and Drabik’s classroom is in the school’s main building. It’s a large and bright studio and is home to many of the art classes that Drabik has helped develop.

The room is filled with art supplies and masterpieces-in-progress, and of visitors in her classroom, she kindly requests, “Please pretend it’s clean.”

This year, the 59-year-old art teacher and chairwoman of Montini’s Fine Arts Department is celebrating her 20th anniversary of teaching at the school and reflecting on the curriculum she’s developed during her tenure.

“When I got here, there wasn’t an art program, so I had to bring it upon myself,” she said.

Art was something she always did growing up. Drabik has memories of attending classes at the Art Institute of Chicago with her mother as a little girl. She enrolled at Northern Illinois University planning to study interior design, but later switched to graphic arts, and after a few years of

working as a freelance graphic artist in Chicago, she went back to school and became certified to teach.

She came to Montini in 1993, after working at two Catholic elementary schools in surrounding suburbs, and was responsible for teaching every art class the school offered. She was the only art teacher.

Today, enough classes are offered that a student interested in art can take an art class each semester of high school.

The school has a graduation requirement that ensures students take at least two semesters of a fine arts class, and it’s this restriction that brings many of the students into her class.

Drabik said she likes to see the diversity of students who come through her classes. It’s a mix of artistic, athletic and academic students with vary-

ven for students who struggle to excel in other aspects of school, too. She said she enjoys being able to give that opportunity to so many of the students at Montini, and sees the value that a fine arts education offers in other aspects of school.

“It’s like solving a problem,” she said. “I think that helps children with everything outside of the class.”

Drabik is complimentary to the school’s principal, president and other administrators for supporting her as the art program expanded.

“The administration has allowed me to go the way I needed to go to make the program bigger, better, more interesting,” she said.

She has no favorite class, but she enjoys teaching design classes and mixed-media ones.

“I like the older levels just because I see that spark in some of the students, and it’s fun to watch them grow,” she said. “I see it in the freshmen, too.”

Even after 20 years, she has plans for expansion. She dreams of one day offering a jewelry class or a painting-only class. She’d like to continue developing the Fine Arts Department, offering new resources for her students and offering a place where they can excel.

“Having a place to be accepted and shine is important, especially in high school,” she said.

Heartworm season is upon us! Due to the mild winters experienced over the past two years, this summer’s heartworm risk is going to be very high!

Heartworm Disease is caused by worms that infect the heart and lungs of your dog and cat and is transmitted by mosquitos. Your dog could become infected with heartworm if he is bitten by a mosquito that has bitten another dog carrying this deadly parasite. Unfortunately, heartworm disease is found in most parts of the world and every state of the United States, which means your dog is at risk.

Most dogs with Heartworm Disease do not show signs of illness. We here at Animal Care and Reproductive Service, L.L.C. can diagnose Heartworm Disease, as well as other intestinal parasites. We ofer medications that can be given as a treat once a month. Even if your dog is on heartworm preventative every month, he or she should still have the blood test annually. If your dog is one of the unfortunate individuals who is diagnosed with Heartworm disease, we can treat and cure it. However, since the treatment of Heartworm disease is dangerous and expensive, prevention is a far superior to treatment.

Fleas and ticks have also taken advantage of the recent mild winters! his summer, your pets are at increased risk of becoming infested with leas and ticks without proper protection. Your pet will pick up leas and ticks if he or she is exposed to other pets, wild animals, or their living areas which are infested by these pesky parasites. Fleas cause extreme discomfort to human and animal members of the family because when they bite and suck blood of any mammal, they cause intense itching. Aside from the obnoxious itching, leas can transmit tapeworms to your pets. Ticks, while not as irritating as leas, are far more disgusting and dangerous. Ticks also bite and suck the blood of human and animal family members. When ticks bite you or your pet, they can transmit serious diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichiosis and Anaplasmosis. hankfully, lea and tick prevention and control is as easy as applying a couple of drops of a liquid medication to your pets back once a month. he easy and efective lea and tick prevention medication is available at ACRS. Get ready for everything the upcoming beautiful weather has to ofer, and make sure your beloved companion is ready for summer too! Bring your dog in today for an exam, a heartworm test, and heartworm, lea, and tick preventative medication.

Playground provides fun for pups

By SARAH SMALL ssmall@shawmedia.com VILLA PARK — At work, Joanne Marcotte is the self-described alpha. It’s a crucial role if she’s going to keep the dozens of dogs she cares for in line.

Marcotte, who grew up in Elmhurst and now lives in Lombard, opened her business, Villa Park’s Bow Wow Playground, more than four years ago after spending three decades in retail.

She’d had enough of working in a corporate environment and was looking for the opportunity to run her own business when a friend-of-afriend brought up the topic of doggy daycare.

“I’d never heard of it before,” she said. “It was a whole new idea.”

She ran with it, and now provides boarding and daycare services to dogs. Training and grooming services also are available at the location, 400 W. St. Charles Road, but are done by anoth-

er business.

The volume of dogs at Bow Wow Playground vary depending on the day, Marcotte said. There’s the set list of dogs she knows will be coming on a specific day, and then there are usually between five to 10 additional a week as space allows.

Marcotte is helped by a team of employees, scheduling workers and dogs so that there are never more than seven dogs to one person.

“My first priority is for the dogs and my employees to be safe, and then for them to have fun and a good time,” she said.

Last week was Spring Break for many of the local schools, and the Bow Wow Playground was packed with wagging tails and wet noses enjoying their own vacations while the humans were away.

Since she’s started the business, Marcotte said she’s seen a significant rise in the popularity of doggy daycare.

Dog owners who are unwilling to leave their pets home alone for an extended period

of time will bring them to a place like the Bow Wow Playground to socialize with other dogs and be cared for during the day.

“People love their dogs,” she said. “For many, they’re their children. A lot of it is socializing.”

The most important thing a dog owner can do is socialize the pup when he or she is young, Marcotte said. This makes for a happier dog that interacts easily with other dogs and a happier owner who doesn’t have to worry about a dog responding negatively to new people or animals.

Her biggest rule with accepting dogs is that they’re up-to-date on shots. Other than that, she’s flexible. Puppies, elders, big dogs, small dogs and a variety of breeds are represented at Bow Wow Playground.

Marcotte also will take on dogs with special needs.

“It doesn’t really deter us,” she said.

One of the things she enjoys most in her job is seeing

how the dogs interact with each other. The dogs who come to Bow Wow Playground know each other, and they’ll look for each other.

Two of the dogs are from the same litter but live with different owners. When they’re together at Bow Wow Playground, they reconnect

immediately, she said. The dogs also have their favorite human workers.

“It’s the unconditional love,” Marcotte said of a dog’s companionship. “You can’t beat it. They’re always happy to see you, even if you walk out of the room and come back five seconds later.”

Katherine was born March 14, 1923 in Chicago to Francis (Magee) and William J. Bonn. She married Edward (Len) Hilts in January 1945, while he was serving in the U.S. Navy. Kay was a devout Catholic and a member of St. Isaac Jogues Parish in Hinsdale, Illinois for four decades, followed by another decade as member of St. Timothy?s in Lady Lake, Florida.

While raising seven children, Kay maintained her individuality and led an active life as professional and volunteer. She worked for three decades before retiring from Sears in Oak Brook, Illinois. She was an avid gardener and art enthusiast, making frequent visits to Chicago's Art Institute, then joyfully sharing her knowledge by serving as “Picture Lady”, teaching art history and leading Great Books reading classes for grade school students at St. Isaacs. Her volunteerism extended to several decades of civic work as an election judge in Du Page County. She enjoyed adventuring with her family, participating with kids and grandkids on mountain hikes, African safaris, snorkeling in Belize, and parasailing in Florida. She was a frequent researcher and photographer for many of her husband's travel articles and books, including Rand McNally guide books.

Kay is survived by her brother, Bill Bonn and children, Leonard (Chip) Hilts, Philip, Paul, Jeanne (Young), Michael, Mark, and Elizabeth (Sanderson); 7 grandchildren, Benjamin, Colin, Alexis, Adam, Sean, Stefan, Kate; 5 great-grandchildren, Ashley; Kegan; Hunter; Ezio; and Allen; and 1 great-great grandchild, Jaylynn.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Len Hilts and sister, Jeanne.

Restaurant reviews

Emmett’s great for a hearty meal, craft brew If you’re walking along Main Street in downtown Downers Grove, Emmett’s Ale House is bound to attract your attention. The bright, yellow brick exterior and yellow-andblack-striped awnings give it an old-fashioned yet well-maintained look that’s very inviting.

And if you’ve worked up an appetite while strolling through town, the dining experience you’ll find inside is a good match for the fun, stylish exterior.

We were looking for a place to get a nice meal and have a couple drinks on a weekend evening without feeling like we’d stumbled into a frat party.

Looking over the menu, I was tempted by the tenderloin medallions (encrusted with horseradish, pesto and balsamic Bordelaise sauce) and the portobello steak (served with balsamic crusted portobello mushrooms and roasted tomato cream sauce).

But I was in the mood for something slightly spicy, and opted for the Southwest chicken sausage pasta. Fortunately, I was very hungry, because the portion that arrived was unquestionably generous. The sausage and bow-tie pasta were served in a spicy marinara sauce along with broccoli, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms and red peppers. The combination of flavors – enhanced but not overwhelmed by the spiciness – made for an enjoyable meal that had a slightly different aspect with each bite.

Typically, a hearty pasta dish like that calls for a good wine, but I couldn’t resist a chance to sample an Emmett’s brew. I went for the McCarthy Red Ale, which was mild but flavorful, and a perfect counterpoint for the marinara sauce.

My dining companion opted to order off the specials list and selected the shepherd’s pie, along with a side of sweet potato fries. The shepherd’s pie consisted of a generous helping of deliciously savory mashed potatoes atop a hearty beef stew. With the unseasonably cold spring we’ve had, it was just the right meal for the day.

Suburban Life Media

Emmett’s Ale House is on Main Street in Downers Grove.

Suburban Life Media

Southwest chicken sausage pasta is served with a perfectly spicy marinara sauce.

“Just thinking about it makes my mouth water,” my companion said.

Downers Grove North leadoff hitter Connor Kopach (No. 4) meets teammates at the dugout after scoring a run against York at Legion Field earlier this month.

Learning to lead off

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE — The No. 1 hitter in a baseball lineup has a defined role — see a lot of pitches, work the count and get on base any way possible.

That’s exactly what Downers Grove North’s Connor Kopach has done this season, even though it hasn’t always come easy after he batted in the No. 2 spot last year.

“It’s definitely a big adjustment since I don’t like to see a lot of first-pitch strikes,” Kopach said. “That’s what you get as the leadoff hitter, but you just have to get through it and get the job done.”

The No. 1 and No. 2 hitters have defined and different

Big number 45: Runs scored by Downers Grove North in six West Suburban Silver games so far this season

roles, especially the first time through the order. The No. 1 hitter is tasked with getting on base while the No. 2 hitter is charged with advancing that runner. It’s a big switch going from No. 2 to No. 1, and as this season goes on Kopach is improving as a leadoff hitter.

“I’ve been able to see pitches better,” he said. “I’m seeing the off-speed pitches really well.”

The bottom third of the lineup has been able to produce and keep the line moving

to the top of the order where Kopach and No. 2 hitter Ray Greco have excelled in their roles.

“Connor has had good atbats, putting the ball in play and he runs the bases well.

He’s been a good guy at the top of the lineup,” coach Chad Isaacson said. “He’s taken to it. It’s one of those things coach (Andrew Heinz) and I talked about. I was like, ‘Hey, let’s try this.’ We’ve put Ray (Greco) in the two spot and it’s been a nice combination with Connor and Ray 1-2. They’ve done a nice job.”

With Kopach setting the table, the Trojans have jumped out to a 5-1 start in West Suburban Silver play heading into Saturday’s conference doubleheader at Proviso West. North

Kopach begins to excel after moving into No. 1 spot in batting order

swept York to start conference then took two of three from perennial contender Lyons Township to stay near the top of the standings.

The Trojans have gotten it done by living up to Isaacson’s expectations.

“The biggest thing is we continue to compete and give ourselves an opportunity to win,” Isaacson said. “We’ve continued to fight. We’ve been down in games and we’ve continued to come back — swinging the bats, putting the ball down, getting guys in, two-out RBIs, things of that nature.”

The Trojans still have WSS series with Glenbard West (April 27-29), Oak Park-River Forest (May 4-6) and Hinsdale Central (May 11-13) after the Proviso West series, but win-

ning the first two series in conference is a good way to start.

“LT is always tough and we battled and got through it, and York has a great team,” Kopach said. “Our hitters have been really good, basically getting clutch hits all year, and our pitchers are hitting their spots and keeping us in games.”

North took both ends of Saturday’s West Suburban Conference crossover with Proviso East, winning 25-0 and 13-0, both in five innings to improve to 8-2 overall. Troy Southard earned the win in Game 1 and Lucas Fisher won in Game 2. The Trojans pounded out 24 hits in the two games, including six doubles, and Matt Zabloudil’s triple in Game 2.

Twinbill sweep moves Mustangs into league lead

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com BERWYN — Three down, three to go.

With three West Suburban Gold series in the books, Downers Grove South’s baseball team couldn’t have asked for a much better start to the conference season.

After sweeping Leyden to start WSG play and taking two of three from Hinsdale South, Downers Grove South took both ends of a doubleheader against Morton on Saturday to improve to 11-3 overall and 7-1 in conference. The third game of the Morton series was scheduled for Monday in Downers Grove.

“We had a big series last weekend and this is another big one,” coach Darren Orel said of Morton. “We’re putting ourselves in a good situation, but there’s so much season left.”

The Mustangs pushed two runs across in the top of the seventh inning of Game 1 Saturday as they broke a 3-3 tie and won 5-3 win. They jumped out to a big 6-0 lead in the first inning of Game 2 and padded the lead with two runs in the seventh inning of a 9-3 win.

Nick Alfini earned the win in the first game and Danny Mayer won the second game.

“I think our team did a good job of jumping on them

early and getting ahead with the six runs in the first inning,” Mayer said. “Our defense made some plays and they did a great job getting us back in and getting some more runs.”

Addison Trail, Proviso East and Willowbrook still loom on the WSG schedule, but winning the Morton series was key in keeping a hold on first place in conference.

“It was a big series with Morton being tied with us for first,” Mayer said. “That was a huge series win for us and we’re looking forward to winning conference.”

58: Runs scored by Westmont’s baseball team during its five-game winning streak

Offensively, Cocks said it was a team effort, all nine batters, that has led to big run totals during the winning streak.

That isn’t to say that Westmont’s pitching hasn’t lived up to its end of the bargain.

Aside from a 10-9 win over IC Catholic Prep to start the winning streak and a 15-7 win over Seneca April 8, the Sentinels haven’t yielded more than three runs to their opponents.

“The pitching has been really good and carried us as well,” Cocks said. “Zach Moran allowed just two runs against Seneca (in a 12-2 win April 9) and Jean Pietrzak took a shutout into the seventh inning against Dwight.

“When the pitching

only gives up two or three runs, we’re going to win those games because we’re scoring a lot of runs right now.”

Pietrzak worked a complete game, scattering six hits and striking out eight. All three runs were unearned. He also went 2-for-4 at the plate with a run scored, three RBIs and his first varsity home run.

The series against Sandwich started a tough stretch in conference play as Plano, Coal City and defending champ Lisle still wait on the horizon.

Maintaining the potent offense and tough pitching will go a long way to keeping the Sentinels at or near the top of the standings.

“We’re going to start getting tested as we start playing the better teams in our conference, but that’s good for us,” Cocks said. “We’ve won a lot of games already so we know how to win, and that’s going to help us in the tougher part of our schedule.”

WESTMONT — A level .500 record usually isn’t a reason to celebrate.

But for a Westmont softball team coming off a tough 2012 season and with a new coach at the helm, a 5-5 record a month into the season is an encouraging sign.

“Here’s the way I look at it. It would be wonderful to have an awesome record,” said coach Jason Bolden, who returned to the Westmont bench this spring after stepping down after the 2007 season. “I’d love to have a 10-0 record, but we’re competing right now and we’re beating teams that last year we lost to.

“Seneca has been the top dog in our conference and we beat them 7-5 (April 8). Dwight took it to us last year and we beat them 9-2 (Friday).”

Kristen Skala earned the pitching win against Dwight, yielding just three hits and striking out eight. Skala, Megan Seratt, Claire Conneely, Amanda Anderson and Brittany Eiermann each had an RBI in the win as

19: Number of batters Kristen Skala has struck out in her last two wins — 11 against Seneca April 8 and eight against Dwight April 12 the Sentinels leveled their conference record at 2-2 prior to games against Sandwich Monday and Tuesday.

Skala and fellow sophomore Skyler Poel have formed a solid battery, with Skala picking up some speed on her pitches and Poel producing behind as well as at the plate. Second pitcher Susie Sternard, shortstop Maria Prete and corner infielder Seratt have been key pieces, but the Sentinels have had across-theboard production.

“The best thing is we can be down three runs and our team is still in it,” Bolden said. “They still believe they can get the job done.”

With Skala and Sternard in the circle, the Sentinels expect to be in every game — so far only two losses have gotten out of hand. Bolden is still

hoping to see continued development on defense and inside the batter’s box. But from what he’s seen so far, he’s confident his team will get there sooner rather than later.

“We want to solidify our defense because that’s how you win games, and we still need a little work offensively, but we’re coming around,” the coach said. “The thing I’m still trying to teach them is that every pitch is important and everyone is counting on you. If you don’t do your job you’re going to hear about it, but I believe they’re taking that to heart and understanding it.”

Westmont will play almost exclusively an Interstate Eight Conference schedule the rest of the way, including key I-8 North series against Sandwich and continuing with Coal City (April 29 and 30) and Lisle (May 6 and 7).

“There are some difficult games coming up, but I think we’re up for the challenge,” Bolden said.

“They understand that we’re all in this together, and if we take care of the little things the big things will take care of themselves.”

Heflin strikes out 31 in two straight shutouts

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com GLEN ELLYN — In the first meeting between last year’s West Suburban Silver conference co-champions, Elaine Heflin made a huge statement.

The Downers Grove North senior right-hander dominated Glenbard West to the tune of 18 strikeouts, leading the Trojans to a 5-0 victory Monday in Glen Ellyn.

Heflin, who allowed just three hits, struck out the final eight batters of the game.

“We noticed their swings were kind of behind so we fig-

ured we could blast it past them,” said Heflin, who missed her career-high by two strikeouts; she fanned 20 Elaine against Pros- Heflin pect her freshman year.

Having split time in the pitching circle with Dale Ryndak in years past, the burden now falls solely on Heflin with Ryndak out for the season with a torn ACL. “In the offseason, I trained hard,” said Heflin, now 7-1

this season. “It feels normal (to throw seven innings). I could probably go another seven innings.

“We lost a great player like Dale and everyone needs to step up and play their best and that is what we are doing.”

The offense staked the UIC-recruit to a 3-0 lead before she had even thrown a pitch, with Ali Woitovich and Claire Jagielo both contributing RBI singles in the top of the first inning. The fourth run scored on a wild pitch in the third before Woitovich capped off the scoring with another RBI single in the fifth.

“It really helps when we

score first and the girls are aggressive at the plate,” Heflin said. “That builds up my confidence, knowing that they have my back.

Heflin was just as dominant Saturday despite battling illness, according to coach Mark Magro. She carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning of the Trojans’ 2-0 win over previously undefeated Plainfield South.

“We really didn’t know anything about them, but they were good,” Magro said of Plainfield South.

The Trojans (8-3, 1-0 WSS) scored both runs in the fourth

inning, both unearned. Maddie Wojciak and Brittany Nagy singled, and a two-out pop fly into short left field was dropped as both came around to score.

“If she caught it we might still be playing,” Magro said.

Brittany Claver had a double for North’s third hit and North took another step toward being the team it wants to become — a consistent, well-rounded team.

“We’re a work in progress, but we’re getting our lineup set,” Magro said. “Each game we’ve seen a different girls come along and do something big for us.”

WMP

WESTMONT — At this point, it’s hard for Westmo n t b a s e b a l l coach D.J. Cocks to pinpoint one thing he likes about his team.

That’s because the Sentinels are doing so many things well.

After starting the season with a 4-3 record, which included a shutout loss to Somonauk and a lopsided defeat to Elmwood Park, the Sentinels won five straight. They took two from Interstate Eight Conference-foe Seneca early last week and topped Dwight 9-3 on Friday to improve to 9-3 overall and 3-1 in conference as it got set for an I-8 North series with Sandwich Monday and Tuesday.

“We’ve pretty much been scoring 10 runs every game,” Cocks said.

“Our offense has really been carrying us. The way we’ve been scoring runs, it’s really taken a lot of pressure off our pitching and defense.”

Trojans score first crosstown win in years

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE — Gianna Marconi had a plan, even if it didn’t look like she did.

The Downers Grove North junior found the ball at her feet midway through the second half of Saturday’s game with visiting Downers Grove South. From 23 yards out and near the left side of the penalty area, she turned and lofted a shot that tucked itself inside the top corner of the far post for the decisive goal in the Trojans’ 2-1 win over the Mustangs.

“I had an opportunity like that in the first half and didn’t convert, so I promised myself at halftime if I had the opportunity again I’d take it,” Marconi said.

“I knew I wanted to go far post, I just didn’t know how high it was going to go.”

Marconi’s goal put North ahead for good and the Trojans (44) withstood sustained pressure from South (7-4-1) in the final six minutes to cap one of their bestplayed games of the season.

“I’d say it was our best-played game against the best team we’ve beaten,” North head coach Bob Calder said. “We’ve had a couple close losses but this was the first time we won a close one. That’s the best opponent we’ve beaten this year.”

North’s win was the first over South for the current group of seniors. Calder believed the Mustangs had won eight straight in the series before Saturday.

“I think this is one of our better wins,” Marconi said. “We played a good game and were strong in both halves. It gives us a lot of confidence.”

The Mustangs had several good looks on goal throughout the game but struggled to find the back of the net, continuing an unfortunate recent trend. After a 6-2 start to the season, the Mustangs are 1-2-1 in their last four games with just three goals scored in the losses and the tie.

“We need to figure some things out. It’s gut-check time. What areas do we have to work on to turn things around?” South head

We need to improve our possession. We played a lot of hopeful balls. We’ve got to work on playing our style.”

Anderson lamented the fact that the team she saw Saturday wasn’t the same one that played defending state champ Naperville North tough in a 2-1 loss April 6.

But she wasn’t taking anything away from North and defenders Arlinda Osmani, Megan Treichel, Kaitlin Gunderson and Emma Krick, who kept South’s offense in check for most of the game.

“They played better soccer than us today,” Anderson said.

“They had their chances and they finished them.”
