Two cars are stranded in the middle of Seventh Street and Cumnor Road in Downers Grove, Thursday, while a third is being towed out in the background.

8STREET TALK How were you affected by the flood?

Republic crews will follow their normal routes. Yard waste will not be collected this week to allow crews to concentrate on hauling away what is anticipated to be an increased amount of refuse because of the storms. Normal amounts of weekly household waste must have stickers or contained in a refuse cart. Only storm-related household debris may be put to the curb with no stickers required. For information on the pickup, visit www.downers. us. To report home flooding issues, send email to crc @downers.us or call 630-4345460.

ing had been worse, in general, on the north side of town than on the south. The large number of impassable roads caused School Districts 58 and 99 to close on Thursday, along with most park district facilities and programs. All county government buildings and facilities also closed that day, with the exception of the sheriff’s department and other emergency-related departments. Downers Grove also is offering residents a special trash pickup of storm-related debris this week, ending Friday. For the special pickup, residents must put refuse on the curb on their regular pickup day.

SD • Wednesday, April 24, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Reporter | Progress

DOWNERS GROVE – The Downers Grove community is continuing the cleanup effort this week after Thursday’s storm that flooded roadways, closed schools and sent DuPage County into a state of emergency. Rain began pouring heavily April 17, and by early Thursday morning, basements were flooding and many roads were impassable throughout much of Downers Grove. Resident Andy McDonald said he is shopping for a new car this week after his vehicle became submerged near Douglas Road and Rogers Street. He ran into standing water after leaving the house at 4:30 a.m., he said, before roadblocks or other warnings were in place. “It was pitch-black out, and I made a left-hand turn right into [standing water],” he said. “I didn’t even see it. There weren’t any signs or anything. It went up to my waist in water. “It was kind of scary, when I tried to get out [the door] wouldn’t open because of the water pressure. So I literally kicked my way out of the door.” McDonald waded to dry ground until his wife, Gina, could pick him up. When the couple went back to the car with a tow truck, two more cars were stranded like theirs, they said. But by then signs were in place.

More than a dozen streets closed because of flooding, although Downers Grove did not see the numerous home evacuations that some other nearby suburbs, such as Lisle did. The Downers Grove Fire Department only received one such call Thursday, Fire Chief Jim Jackson said. It assisted a family from their home on Jacqueline Drive, and took them to higher ground where they were picked up by friends or family. “In respect to the response, I couldn’t be more pleased with the first responders and the public works crews in dealing with all the different demands that arose very quickly,” Mayor Martin Tully said Monday. Tully pointed to several stormwater infrastructure improvements constructed over recent years as part of the village’s Watershed Improvement Plan that helped mitigate some of the flooding, including water-retention areas in village parks. “There’s no question there’s still things on the list to be done,” he said. “And we’re working through them every construction season.” Public works crews will continue restoring the storm sewers this week, according to the village. Street sweepers also have been removing debris from roads as the water recedes, and standing water could remain in certain areas

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.

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.

Ask Dr. Webster

Q: How much does what we eat affect our dental health? A: You are what you eat, they say. Dr. Weston A. Price, a dentist and a pioneer nutritionist, in 1939 published a book, “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration,” in which he reported that “primitive” societies that observed their indigenous diets generally had nicely shaped jaws holding an abundance of beautiful teeth. All this without the benefit of any modern dental care. As “modern” foods – particularly white flour and sugar – were introduced to those groups, dental problems ensued, including the previously almost unknown problem of cavities. The so-called primitive diets, he found, were rich in calcium and other minerals as well as essential fat-soluble vitamins – like A, D, E and K. Their diets also were rich in butter, fish and eggs. It remains true today that a nutritious diet is essential to good dental health. And it’s especially important for pregnant women. Fresh fruits and vegetables, especially the green leafy variety, prepared to retain their nutritional value, are especially good foods for dental health. Steer clear of processed foods and avoid sugar and white flour and the junk food that is so prevalent in our society. Talk with your dentist about the foods you should eat – and the food you should avoid – to keep a healthy mouth and smile.

later.” A month after that final letter, Gerda was sent to Vught, the first of several concentration camps she would survive before her rescue in 1945. At Vught, she was fortuitously selected to work for Philips, assembling radio tubes in a camp factory. The Dutch electronics company fed their workers better and spared them from hard labor. And when Gerda and other members of the “Philips group” were moved to Auschwitz, it was their value to Philips that kept them from the gas chambers. Her memoir reveals the gradual descent from optimism to numbness, to the acceptance of imminent death as she is moved from camp to camp, narrowly avoiding extermination by random luck, chance and coincidence. When she finally was rescued in 1945, she was near death. She weighed about 70 pounds and needed several months of recuperation in a hospital to regain her strength. Gerda emigrated to the

DOWNERS GROVE – The letters between Gerda Nothmann Luner and her family, separated by the Holocaust in 1939, are heartbreaking when read with historical hindsight, and yet the love and optimism apparent in the correspondence can’t help but highlight the human spirit. The letters show a young Gerda, then 12, finding spiritual guidance from her father, remembering inside jokes with her mother, enjoying her younger sister Vera’s sense of humor and awaiting a reunion. “And as God’s will, everything that now seems difficult will seem a blessing – and we, (your father and I), will then experience the pleasure that you give us, and we will be happy,” Gerda’s mother wrote in one letter. “When we reunite, we will happily carry a lighter load.” The family wrote each other often, beginning when parents Max and Adele sent Gerda and Vera to live with separate foster

families in Holland when Berlin became too dangerous for Jews. The letters, which were saved by a family friend during the Holocaust, and Gerda’s written memoir of her survival of several concentration camps are collected in “Gerda’s Story: Memoir of a Holocaust Survivor,” published by Elmhurst College. A batch of 400 copies of the book are being printed this year, the biggest run since it first was printed in 2002. Proceeds go to benefit the Elmhurst College Holocaust Education Project. Gerda would be the only member of her immediate family to survive, and the last letter from her parents arrived at her foster family’s residence May 3, 1943. Her family was “about to leave for the trains when (mom) wrote that last letter,” Gerda wrote in her memoir. “They went straight to Auschwitz, but I did not know that then. I only learned it for sure after I myself was in Auschwitz, 15 months

Q & A with the Hearing Doctor Q: My Dad got hearing aids about 4 weeks ago. He is having trouble adjusting. What can I do to help? A: Sometimes patients struggle to adjust to their new hearing aids. hey may have diiculty Dr. Terri Lightbody adjusting to (630) 580-5777 the “physical” aspect or the “psychological” aspect of the hearing aids. Adults view hearing loss as another sign of aging— another loss. Coupled with other physical failings, the hearing aids may be viewed by the wearer as a sign of weakness or disability, not a sign of independence. Sometimes they feel a loss of youth and power. Denial and anger are commonly seen as they grieve this “loss”. his is one of the main reasons some resist getting hearing aids. he family’s support is important during this process to help move the person to accept help. With hearing loss, conversation and social interaction becomes harder. Suferers oten choose isolation over struggling and failing to keep up. he longer one waits to treat hearing loss,

Browsing titles

the harder it is to adjust to the introduction of louder sounds. More importantly, the long term efects of untreated hearing loss on the mind includes anxiety, depression and dementia. Be encouraging and supportive. Your Dad should be wearing the hearing aids most of their awake time. He should wear his hearing aids even when he may be home alone because stimulation from sounds at home i.e. cabinet doors closing, toilet lushing, TV sound, etc. are vital to the adjustment process. Your family should remember that hearing aids do not provide “super” hearing. You may still need to help him hearing optimally in certain listening environments. He may need to sit closer to the person speaking, go to a restaurant that has less noise. It is best to get his attention before having a conversation so he can be ready to listen. he good news is that today’s advanced hearing instruments can make a profound diference and dramatically improve a person’s quality of life. It was Helen Keller that stated that given a choice between sight and hearing, she would pick hearing because that’s her connection to the world.

Charles Luner said Gerda was willing to talk about her experience, but she would have to be asked first. “She didn’t voluntarily say, ‘I was in the war, I did this, and this happened,’ ” he said. “She didn’t like to be considered a survivor – like having a degree ... She didn’t want to have ‘survivor’ after her name, because it was an accident that she survived.” Her memoir, which forms the first half of the book, was written in one feverish week in 1978 after seeing a televised miniseries about the Holocaust. “She saw that, and she figured she wanted to leave a record for the children,” Luner said.

“I want to let people know what happened,” Luner said. “And the more stories that are told, the better. There’s a lot of deniers of the Holocaust. And the personal stories that are well-written and authentic, they make a difference.”

Have you put off doing your kitchen long enough? Is this the year you have vowed to do something with your cabinets? Have the horror stories of kitchen remodeling made you afraid to even think about it? With prices approaching and surpassing $100,000 for full kitchen remodeling, it is no wonder the Average Joe and Jane feel a little overwhelmed. Enter Kitchen Tune-Up! This locally owned (Downers Grove) National Franchise has been offering minor kitchen remodels for 19 years. Marty Ceranec, the owner, has won numerous awards from KTU for Sales, Customer Service, and Creativity. He received the highest award in 2000 when he won National Franchise of the Year and in addition, is a two time Angies List Super Service Award Winner. We offer Kitchen Solutions for Any Budget. “I think some people get sticker shock when they look at the price of redoing an entire kitchen and are overwhelmed. We work with clients every day who have the same anxieties,” says Marty. KTU can provide anything from the Signature Kitchen Tune-Up to a full blown design and remodel. “The bulk of our work last year was in refacing and door replacement. Door replacement doesn’t change the color, but replaces old particle board doors with new solid raised panel doors utilizing concealed hinges. Refacing, on the other hand, enables one to change their oak cabinets to maple cabinets without

buying all new cabinetry,” said Marty. “These two options also save landfill space because we are saving the boxes.” Why have they been so successful? “I think it’s because we follow our trust points (below). Simple things like showing up on time and returning phone calls which is often lacking in the remodeling industry. I have chosen to keep the business small so I am involved in every job with my three long time installers. By doing this we have become well known as experts in minor kitchen remodeling.” Kitchen Tune-Up also offers cabinetry upgrades such as glass doors, tipout trays, soft-closing dovetail drawers, and full extension rollouts as well as counters in laminate, solid surfaces, granite and quartz (Cambria) “The Best Counter Top Around.” When questioned about any regrets, Marty replies, “We often get calls to update the kitchen when the owner is ready to sell. We always wonder why they didn’t do it earlier so they could have enjoyed it sooner.”

DeVry investigated by attorney general DOWNERS GROVE — Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is investigating compensation practices of Downers Grovebased DeVry Inc., according to media reports. The private education company was subpoenaed earlier this month by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office. The Illinois Attorney General is investigating whether the company is complying with the incentive compensation ban of the Higher Education Act, according to media reports. The ban says schools participating in federal student aid programs can’t financially reward employees based on enrollment figures or securing financial aid. The Massachusetts attorney general’s office also subpoenaed the company, and is asking if the company filed false information related to student loans, guarantees or grants, according to media reports. Illinois has asked DeVry for documents from on or after Jan. 1, 2002; and Massachusetts seeks documents from on or after Jan. 1, 2007. – Suburban Life Media

Each property owner who takes out a permit is sent a letter from the assessor’s office that explains the process of monCOMMUNITY itoring construction. This VOICE may include an interior inTheresa spection to note the number Cockrell of baths, fireplaces, etc., as well as taking measurements of the new construction. Our letter includes the names and photographs of our deputy assessor field personnel who periodically will stop at the building site along with an explanation as to the type of identification that each carries. We ask you to inform family members and child guardians of this letter and photographs. Please, before letting someone in your home, check their credentials. If you’re unsure, call the assessor’s office at 630719-6630 or the police. DuPage County Treasurer Gwen Henry will mail the 2012 tax bills on or about May 1.

DOWNERS GROVE – Erin Gentile of Downers Grove stepped onto a Boston stage to compete in the World Irish Dancing Championships on March 24 and won a ranking of 31st in a field of 144 contestants. Training Erin Gentile w i t h T r i n i t y Irish Dancers, the 17-year-old had qualified to compete the final week of March by working her way to a ranking of 21st nationally and 10th for the Midwest. “Erin had a wonderful experience at the World Championships by reaching her goal to place in the top 50 this year,” said her mother, Eileen Gentile. As a performer, Erin Gentile headed to Spain in 2011 with Trinity II, the organization’s international performance group. Last summer,

she traveled with the ensemble to Montana and Iowa for Irish festivals. For Gentile, who has been dancing for nine years with Trinity, this was her fourth foray into the World Irish Dancing Championships. Echoing her high-energy footwork, Gentile keeps busy with a range of scholastic and sports activities. She attends Downers Grove South High School, where she is on the honor roll, was inducted into the National Honor Society in January, is involved in the P.E. leadership program and is a J. Kyle Braid leader – last summer, attending a weeklong conference in Colorado for the J. Kyle Braid Leadership Foundation. Gentile is a varsity member of the Downers Grove South cross-country team. She took fourth place in the West Suburban Gold JV Cross Country Conference 2012 and was selected as a team captain for the 2013 cross-country team.

DOWNERS GROVE – Downtown Downers Grove is home to a new boutique offering artisan-made women’s accessories such as jewelry, scarves, bags and belts, as well as home décor items. Amy Brown opened the store, Evelyn Jane Boutique, this month in the former Wedding Etc. space at 1008 Curtiss St. Brown said she was inspired years ago by her college friends who made handmade jewelry, and after more than a dozen years in management and merchandizing for Crate & Barrel, she developed the business confidence to open her own store. “I always had the dream of opening a shop pretty much right after college,” the Downers Grove native said. “I never really knew if it would come to fruition or not, but it always was a dream of mine.” Many items in the store come from Chicago-area artists and crafters such as Juliet Jewelry, Moira K. Lime, Substance Design and others, she said. She finds the artists and crafters largely through word-of-mouth, but also by going to the Merchandise Mart. “So there’s lot of local representation,” she said. “There’s a nice variety and a nice range of price points as well.” Brown now lives in West-

DOWNERS GROVE – Westbrook Market closed its Downers Grove location this month in the Meadowbrook Shopping Center, 2065 63rd St. Owner Joe Kumkoski could not be reached for comment, but a manager at the grocery’s Westmont location said only the Downers Grove store was closing. The Meadowbrook Shopping Center was bought this

year by Frontline Real Estate Partners through bankruptcy proceedings of the strip mall’s previous owners, Qualteq Inc. According to the DuPage County Recorder of Deeds office, Frontline took possession of the deed April 1. “We absolutely plan to do substantial [building] improvements, and we think we can take an important asset in the community and make it better,” Frontline President and CEO Mitchell Kahn said.

BERWYN – Something horrible has happened in Berwyn’s historic Train District. Horrorbles, Berwyn’s magnet for the twisted among us who love all things horror and sci-fi related, has moved to 6729 Stanley Ave., from its old location at 6729 W. Roosevelt Road. There now are six rooms of posters, autographs, action figures and more – all testament to the genre that made theater-goers scream with terror between mouthfuls of Milk Duds and popcorn. Can’t live without the autograph of Patricia Neal, the love interest in “The Day the Earth Stood Still”? They have it. How about the very luscious Tura Satana of “Astro Zombies” fame? Look no further. And now, let us bow our heads, how about the monster of monsters himself, Boris Karloff? Believe it or not, yes.

Horrorbles new location is at 6729 Stanley Ave. in the Berwyn Train District. weird, a giant, hairy spider hanging on the wall should not come as a surprise. Action figures, from seven to 18-inches tall stand ready to drain the blood from your veins or turn your brain into cream of wheat. There are movie props as well. How about a little poker with the deck of cards used in the famous shootout scene of “Inglourious Basterds,” or some shadow puppets used in the filming of “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”? Horrorble’s is owned by John Aranza, owner of Autre Monde restaurant in Berwyn and aficionado of all things horrific. He is an authority on the subject, and something of a historian, who can find the most

obscure collectibles and put together signings with some of the monster and sci-fi elite. Wilberg is something of an authority on the subject, as well, and with careful consideration, answered some of those questions that have stymied academics for years:

Whats the scariest movie ever made? “The movie that creeps me out is Steven King’s ‘Pet Sematary.’ That still creeps me out. That and ‘The Exorcist.’ ”

Who would win in a fight, Dracula or Alien? “Good question. I’d say Alien might win with acid blood. I don’t think Dracula

would have a taste for it.”

Wolfman or Predator? “I’d go with Wolfman. I don’t think the Predator would have a silver bullet with him. He’s more high tech than that. The only thing that will kill him is a silver bullet.” Horrorbles is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. The store has a comprehensive website for shopping and events information available online at www.horrorbles. com, Facebook and Twitter. Information is available at 708-484-7370.

Big Hurt microbrewery coming to Berwyn SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BERWYN – Big Hurt Brew House will transform the vacant historic bank at 6801 W. Cermak Road into a new destination for Chicagoland craft beer enthusiasts and sports fans alike. The Berwyn City Council approved a redevelopment agreement for Big Hurt Brew House microbrewery, sports bar and grill. “Establishing a microbrew operation is an ideal use for

this unique property and having Heidner Properties and Big Hurt Beer in the project will take it to an extraordinary level,” said Anthony Griffin, executive director of the Berwyn Development Corporation (BDC), who also structured the deal for the city of Berwyn. The flagship brew house will be operated by Frank “Big Hurt” Thomas, legendary Chicago White Sox first baseman and heavy hitter, who launched his line of specialty brew – Big Hurt Beer – in fall

2011. The brand currently offers an Imperial Lager and recently launched MVP, an All-American lager. Mayor Robert J. Lovero called the Big Hurt Brew House “a dynamic addition to Cermak Road both for residents and as an attraction for visitors.” Lovero added the development will grow the momentum already created with Berwyn Gateway Plaza to the west. Big Hurt Brew House will brew for on-site operations and

distribution to other retail locations. The restaurant, beer garden and sports bar will offer a family-friendly environment with planned promotions such as athlete appearances and onsite live broadcasts of sporting events. The development team, led by Rick Heidner, currently is in the design phase with a completion date estimated for late 2013, or early 2014. Information can be obtained through the BDC by calling 708-788-8100.

Downers Grove

Tips for newcomers to the game of golf F

ew hobbies can be as enjoyable one moment and as frustrating the next as golf. Golfers know a great putt can be quickly followed by a bad tee shot, and maintaining their composure through the highs and lows of the game is a key to success on the links. Maintaining that composure isn’t always easy, even for the professionals. It’s even more diicult for beginners, who quickly learn the game of golf involves more than just spending sunny weekend afternoons on pristine golf courses. In fact, golf can be quite demanding, and beginners would be wise to heed a few tips before hitting the course. • Don’t commit to an expensive set of clubs right off the bat. Golf clubs can be very expensive, so beginners should buy an afordable secondhand set of clubs so they can get the hang of what they like before spending a lot of money. Visit a pro shop and explain that you are just a beginner. he shop will likely make some valuable

suggestions and might even let you try out a pair of clubs. In addition, many driving ranges allow customers to rent clubs, and this can be a great and inexpensive way to ind the right clubs for you. • Take lessons. Even the very best at self-teaching might ind it extremely diicult to become a self-taught golfer. When irst trying your hand at golf, take some lessons and don’t expect to be playing 18 holes any time soon. Before hitting the course, where you might be discouraged and you might frustrate those goling behind you, learn the fundamentals by taking a few lessons at the driving range. Learn from a professional, who won’t ofer you any hidden secrets to goling glory (there aren’t any) but will ofer sound advice on the game’s fundamentals. • Take the game home with you. Beginners can even take advantage of golf ’s vast popularity by taking the game home with them. his doesn’t mean building a Continued on next page >>>

Restaurant reviews

Mécénat serves up bistro charm WESTERN SPRINGS – A warm bistro environment with decor nods to Europe is the setting for Mécénat’s eclectic menu exploring global culinary influences. An enticing aroma greeted us at the door of the Western Springs restaurant on a recent Sunday afternoon, and while we perused the beer and wine lists, the server brought us deliciously crusty french bread, a simple, but great first impression. The wine list is extensive, given that Mécénat (pronounced: ma-say-nah) also operates retail wine sales several nights a week. The soup of the day was butternut squash with apple, but we opted to share a salad of baby spinach with the unusual twist of honey jalapeño vinaigrette – not too spicy, but definitely a shakeup from the norm. It combined fennel and creamy chunks of avocado with a colorful interplay of grape tomato halves as garnish, along with bite-size fritters, whose crisp exterior gave way to warm goat cheese. Outstanding. “Completely different, and there’s a zip to the dressing,” raved my dining companion. The entrees tempted with Grilled Alaskan Halibut with soy glaze, baby bok choy and wild mushroom dumplings; Mushroom Stuffed Filet with port wine sauce, garlic smashed potatoes, Brussels

Entrees range from $12 to $28. My companion was intrigued by the Midnight Sandwich – actually a variation of the Cuban – prepared with pork, chicken, asparagus and housemade pickle on

melt-in-your-mouth ciabatta. He paired it with a tasty Lagunitas DogTown pale ale. Available on draft, it was served in a wide-mouth jar for a fun presentation. The accompanying french fries are my favorite kind: thin and crispy, served hot and fresh. The perfect guilty pleasure was prepared with a sprinkle of herbs. The family at a neighboring table

selected what was obviously a familiar hit: a double order of the truffle-infused fries. From the small plate menu, I picked the beef sliders on pretzel bun, expecting a burger, but the trio turned out to be sliced beef, nicely flavored by grilled sweet red peppers and caramelized onions, and given a little zing with horseradish cream and a dip into the generous serv-

ing of au jus. Another guilty pleasure was dipping the last of the french bread. Too full for dessert, we sadly had to forgo our knowledgeable server’s recommendations: an in-house prepared strudel, a brownie specialty, and the creme brulee she called “fantastic,” whose flavor changes weekly. Displayed around the room are framed photographs of Western Springs taken by the owner’s daughter, Mécénat’s manager. Hand-stenciling and faux stone designs on walls conjure a bistro getaway, and a divider separates the dining room from the bar, with live music featured weekends. In homage to the wines, sleek sconces mimic the curve of magnum bottles.

Roy Navarro (left) of Downers Grove goes to the body against Justin Gauthier during Navarro’s pro debut Saturday at Horseshoe Casino in Indiana.

Winner by knockout By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE — Before an amateur bout early in his career, the ring announcer mistakenly introduced Roy Navarro as Ray Navarro. It’s likely that mistake won’t happen again anytime soon.

Making his professional boxing debut Saturday night at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Ind., Navarro needed just 1:38 to knock out Justin Gauthier. The explanation for his success was simple. “I just worked my butt off,” Navarro said. Hard work is nothing new

to Navarro, a 21-year old Downers Grove resident and graduate of Glenbard West High School. He trained rigorously as a wrestler in high school, and currently works maintenance for a property ownership group during the day while training at night. Navarro describes himself as restless; he feels like if he

Undefeated arms By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com

Downers Grove North senior Lucas Fisher delivers a pitch against York April 1 at Legion Field.

DOWNERS GROVE — Before the season, Chad Isaacson talked about the defensive strength of his infield. Early in the season, he talked about picking up timely hits, and now the Downers Grove North baseball coach has another area of strength to discuss. Troy Southard, Mike O’Malley and Lucas Fisher, the team’s West Suburban Silver conference starting pitchers, have helped the Trojans to three series victories and an 8-1 league record. “We’ve got three guys classified as our conference starters, and all three had varsity experience last year,” Isaacson said. “Troy and Mike pitched in conference games last year and Lucas pitched in our crossovers. They came in ready.” With Southard, O’Malley and Fisher leading the way on the mound, the Trojans are 11-2 overall and in the thick of the WSS race with Oak Park-River Forest, Glenbard West and Lyons Township. They took two of three games from

LT earlier in this season and control their own destiny with series against West (April 27-29) and OPRF (May 4-6) still left on the schedule. The trio of conference starters don’t necessarily light up the radar guns with overwhelming velocity on their pitches, but they know their strengths and pitch to those strengths. “I keep the ball low, mostly low and away,” Southard said. “We’re not overpowering guys but we’re mechanically sound. I’m not going to blow it by anybody, so I do it with my offspeed stuff and my location.” “They pitch to their strengths, which is not giving up any freebies and knowing they have guys behind them that can glove the ball,” Isaacson said. “All three pound the zone.” Fisher earned the win Monday

as North completed a series sweep of Proviso West with an 11-0, five-inning win. Southard won the first game 14-2 in five innings and O’Malley picked up the 19-1 five-inning win in Game 2. Their success and the team’s to this point is no surprise to any of them. “We’re more excited than surprised,” Southard said. “We knew we had a lot of returning kids and we knew we’d be able to get it done, but there’s still a lot of season left.” Danny Miller, Dane Zarnowski and Matt Bohanon comprise the rest of the starting rotation. All six pitchers hope to maintain their success as North eyes a conference title. Isaacson won’t let them lose focus. Even after playing nearly flawless ball in the sweep of Proviso West, he was discussing ways his team can improve. “I told them we have to continue to focus on the details and understand what we need to better,” the coach said. “We still have a long way to go. We’re not even halfway through the schedule. We’ve done a lot of good things, but we have to continue to get better.”

State-title pursuit trumps Mustangs’ conference title race By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE — Downers Grove South’s baseball team is in the thick of the conference race, but it’s not discussing it. The Mustangs took two games from West Suburban Gold-rival Addison Trail on Saturday, in the process improving to 14-3 overall and 10-1 in WSG play. They remain ahead of Hinsdale South with two more WSG series left — April 27-29 against Proviso East and May 4-6 against Willowbrook. But winning a conference title isn’t really part of the discussion for South. “It’s never really been a big concern,” South coach Darren Orel said. “Every game is of equal importance and that’s what I try to get across. We never set up our pitching like that. Whoever’s turn it is in the rotation is who pitches.” Orel did say that winning conference is probably in the back of the minds of his players, but the team’s goal is to win a state title which is why South’s 2001 football state title is part of the conversation.

Big number 110: Runs scored this season by Downers Grove South’s baseball team, an average of 6.4 per game

“I remind them the year we won state in football we didn’t win conference,” Orel said. “It’s great to win conference, but regionals and sectionals are what we’re shooting for.” South pounded out 23 hits Saturday against the Blazers and the pitching yielded just six hits as the Mustangs won 12-0 in Game 1 and 9-3 in Game 2. That’s the kind of combination that will help the Mustangs win the conference title as well as postseason titles. “The pitching has been consistent — we’ve only had one truly bad game on the mound — and the we’ve been swinging the bats well,” Orel said. “We’ve been consistent on the mound and now we’re swinging the bats better, so hopefully we can continue that.”

DOWNERS GROVE SOUTH — What was supposed to be a week full of games turned into another week of canceled contests for Downers Grove South’s softball team. When the Mustangs got back on the field Saturday after a three-day break from action, they made up for lost time with a 30-hit attack in a 17-6, 11-3 doubleheader sweep of Wheaton Warrenville South. “I wish we could bottle that up,” coach Ron Havelka said.

Orton finished the day 4-for-8 with two doubles, a homer and six RBIs. “Zahryha’s been hot. She’s been incredible,” Havelka said. “She’s hitting well with people on base and her two home runs were just rockets right out of the park. Even her outs she was hitting rockets.” The hitting was contagious and it spread beyond McFarland and Orton. Caitlyn Daly went 5-for-7 with three doubles and three RBIs, and Caroline Hedgcock and Dana Kremer also homered on the day. Kelly Schmitt earned the pitching win in the first game and Hedgcock won the second game. The WWS game continued the hit parade the Mustangs began on Tuesday, when they had 13 hits in an 11-1 win over Hinsdale South in the West Suburban Gold conference opener. The onslaught started early with Daly blasting a two-out, two-run home run following Jessica Andree’s walk in the first. The Mustangs scored four runs on five hits in the second with Emma Thibault, Orton and Andree picking up the RBIs. Hedgcock struck out eight, walked none and surrendered just three hits to the Hornets.

North struggles at plate vs. defending Class 3A state champs By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE — When the softball teams from Downers Grove North and Glenbard South get together, it always seems to be a tight game. That trend continued Saturday with the Raiders getting the better of the Trojans in a 2-1 game in Glen Ellyn. “They’re very good every

year and they always give us a good game. The last three or four years I think they’ve all been one-run games,” North coach Mark Magro

said. “Tip your hat to them they beat us.” Elaine Heflin suffered the pitching loss despite holding the Raiders to just five hits. The Trojans (8-4) struggled to string hits together and finished with three, but hitting was hard to come by for both teams in a game that was scoreless through five innings. “Their two runs, they had one ball hit out of the

infield,” Magro said. “We had one hard-hit ball, Allie Woitovich’s double to the gap. Other than that there wasn’t much. I was a little disappointed. I don’t think we came ready to play, and that’s on my shoulders.” The defending Class 3A state champion Raiders started a tough week for the Trojans. After facing a much-improved Oak Park-River Forest on Mon-

day, North will play defending 4A champ Marist Thursday in Chicago and 2012 regional champ Plainfield East Friday in Plainfield. Magro wouldn’t have it any other way. “Playing good teams is going to help up,” the coach said. “We kind of fell asleep (in the playoffs) the last couple years. We have bigger goals, and playing good teams is going to help us.”

• NAVARRO Continued from page 33 visit to the Downers Grove gym. “I basically came in and said, ‘I want to fight,’” Navarro said. “He had never boxed a day in his life,” Miller said. “But he came in and within a minute of working with him I realized he was something special.” Miller said Navarro always had the natural ability to be a successful boxer: fast hands, a heavy punch and a willingness to stand in close and work the body. His biggest gains since training with Miller have come between the ears. “His biggest improvement has been his focus and his boxing intelligence,” Miller said. “When you box, you have to be smart. It’s not enough to be tough. Technique always beats strength, and that’s where he’s improved the most. He came in with raw power, and his work ethic and dedication allowed him to learn the other things and become a complete boxer.” Four years of training led to Navarro’s first pro bout, and quickly his first win as a pro. It didn’t take long for him to earn another fight, which is scheduled to take place in June at the Horseshoe, Miller said. Navarro is looking forward to the fight, but also to the training in the interim to get ready for it. It’s part of what drew him to boxing and a big part of what makes him a successful fighter. “I like the training, I like the conditioning and I like the physicality of it,” Navarro said. “He’s the total package,” Miller said. “He’s got the athleticism, the work ethic and the determination. He does everything right.”
