haved and expressed their views in a peaceful matter,” Willison said. In response to the IFI protest, The Civil Rights Agenda, a pro-LGBT group, staged a counter-protest. CRA Executive Director Anthony Martinez said his group wants to show its support for Sandack, and for “his decision to vote for this very important bill that affects the lives of people throughout the state.” Police also videotaped the protests to create a record in the event of problems or incidents. The meeting of the two groups is the latest in a series of face-to-face demonstrations, including one last week in Chicago’s Humboldt Park. The same-sex marriage bill was passed by the Illinois Senate in February but since has languished in the House. Sandack’s 81st District includes parts of Downers Grove, Lisle, Naperville, Woodridge and Bolingbrook.

DOWNERS GROVE – Activist groups on opposing sides of the gay marriage debate demonstrated their views Saturday outside of the Downers Grove office of state Rep. Ron Sandack. Sandack, a Republican representing the 81st District, has voiced support for the same-sex marriage bill awaiting a vote in the Illinois House of Representatives. That stance has drawn the ire of the Illinois Family Institute, a conservative group that opposes the bill. “We invited Rep. Sandack to come on out to talk to the group and to talk about his views on marriage,” IFI Executive Director David Smith said. “We’re trying to encourage him to uphold what marriage has been throughout history. And encourage him not to cave into the rhetoric of the left, which is trying to redefine marriage.” Sandack said the office would be closed and previously told the Downers Grove Reporter he would not be present – because he had family activities planned – but he showed up Saturday. He was shouted down when he began to say he was in support of gay marriage. Sandack said he respects the IFI’s right to peaceful assembly. “I appreciate their stance,” he said. “I hope they can appreciate mine.” Downers Grove Police Lt. Mike Willison said there were no problems or arrests during the protests. About 200 people turned out, he said. “Everyone was well-be-

Downers Grove native, artist headed to Shanghai By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Artists seek inspiration in new experiences, and Elliot Purse should have it in spades when he returns from a summer destination that couldn’t be more different than his Downers Grove roots. The South High School graduate and current graduate student of painting at the New York Academy of Art was one of four students chosen for a fellowship this summer in Shanghai. He departs May 25.
On the Web View Purse’s work at his website, www.ElliotPurse.com
“As an artist, you try to react to your surroundings,” he said. “So I think it’ll be a good shakeup for my work to be in an environment that’s so different from what I’m used to.” Faculty at his school in New York and at Shanghai University selected Purse after viewing his end-of-the year studio work.
His large paintings are portraits in a loose sense, conveying emotion and movement through a comElliot Purse bination of representational and abstract lines. When he paints, he said he aims to use the lessons and styles from movements such as abstract expressionism in an honest sense, avoiding quotations or a sense of pastiche. The 23-year-old does not speak Chinese, but he said he
is brushing up on Chinese etiquette and customs before his leaves. “You want to represent the United States the best you can,” he said. He said the students who went last year told him the marked differences between Shanghai and New York City are difficult to describe without experiencing them. Purse gave a nod to South High School for encouraging his interest in art as a teenager. He did his undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana.
He said his decision to go to graduate school in New York City partially was influenced by the same desire that’s leading him to China – seeking new environments, different from what he already knows. And, of course, the New York art scene was a large draw. “Finally being [in New York], it is exactly kind of what I always imagined,” he said. “It was a different animal than Chicago. New York is in constant turmoil. It’s stressful and taxing all of the time, but when it gets back to you in a really poetic sense, it’s great.”

Ask Dr. Webster
TIPS FOR CAREGIVERS Q: I am a caregiver. Do you have any tips for me on dental care?
A: As you no doubt know, patience is the key attribute for a caregiver, whether you’re working with the elderly or someone with a disability. They rely on you to help keep their mouths healthy. The main task is getting their teeth brushed regularly. If you have to do the brushing, here’s how to proceed: First, wash your hands and put on sanitary disposable gloves. Find a location where there’s good light—it doesn’t necessarily have to be the bathroom—and stand or sit where you have a good view of your charge’s teeth. Put a small amount of toothpaste on the brush and brush all surfaces of each tooth. Be careful to brush gently at the gum line. Brush the tongue as well. Help the person rinse with plain water. Incidentally, you might consider whether a powered toothbrush would help you. If the person just needs help brushing, you can make the toothbrush easier to hold by getting a toothbrush that’s manufactured with a large handle, or you can wrap a handle with tape, or put a slit in a tennis ball and insert the handle of the brush into it. Another important concern is making sure the person you’re caring for sees a dentist twice a year for an examination and cleaning. And don’t forget yourself. At your next dental visit, ask for more suggestions.

Downers Grove man dies after jumping into Chicago River By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – A 19-year-old Downers Grove man died early Saturday morning after jumping into the Chicago River with bricks fastened around his waist, according to Chicago police officer John Mirabelli.

Upon arriving at the scene, police found the man had jumped from the bridge. Members of the Police Marine Unit and Chicago Fire Department recovered the body and transported the man to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 6:25 a.m. The incident is being investigated as a suicide.

Tracy VanHoutan sits with his son, Noah, 9; his wife, Jennifer; and his twin daughters, Laine and Emily, 7, on Friday at their home in Downers Grove.
Noah’s Hope will host its fourth annual Run For Hope 5K and Fun In The Sun event at 7 a.m. May 19 at O’Neill Middle School, 635 59th St. Proceeds from the charity’s events support research for finding a treatment for Batten disease, a rare and terminal genetic disorder. About 300 runners participated last year, and the charity hopes to see about 500 this year. Register at www.signmeup.com/90957. After the run, family activities will continue on the school’s grounds.
ent kids than they were four or five years ago,” Jennifer said. “They’re both unable to walk and talk. They can’t eat anymore by mouth. They both have eating tubes. But we’ve found ways to communicate with them.” The couple’s third child, Laine’s twin, Emily, does not have the disease. After Noah’s diagnosis, friends and family gave the couple the initial push they needed to spring to action with a neighborhood garage sale fundraiser, Jennifer said. Ever since, the VanHoutans have devoted themselves to learning everything they can about the disease and finding ways to raise money for re-
search. Through myriad annual fundraisers in Downers Grove over the past four years, the family’s charity, Noah’s Hope, has raised more than $250,000. Because the disease is so rare – only about 450 children have it in the country – little research had been done to develop treatments, Tracy said. “We just kicked it into high gear and realized we had to do something to figure it out,” Jennifer said. The VanHoutans have flown to international research conferences, met with research scientists, lobbied Congress and even testified before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Sarah Minor – sminor@shawmedia. com
Noah’s Hope has directly funded scientists working on treatments for the disease. One of those scientists, a Rutgers University researcher, has developed a possible treatment that is in clinical trials in Europe. The family also has directed funds to a researcher at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, recruited specially by Tracy to research the disease. Jennifer said it’s important to focus on loving every moment their children are home. Special-needs teachers have

helped the family learn to communicate nonverbally, largely through yes-or-no questions. “There are some points Noah and Laine like to make, and let us know they’re here by raising their hands and blinking their eyes,” Jennifer said. “The support from the community has been “amazing and incredible,” Tracy said. “We’ve had shows of support from people just offering to do little things – make dinner or help with the kids.

DOWNERS GROVE – When Tracy and Jennifer VanHoutan’s son, Noah, was diagnosed with Batten disease, a highly rare and terminal genetic disorder, it changed their world forever. When their younger daughter, Laine, received the same diagnosis five months later, it brought them to their knees. But the way the family has responded could help thousands of others worldwide fight the disease. Noah developed normally as a toddler – playing, talking and showing interest in baseball. But when he turned 3, speech functions declined, and he began to have seizures. What followed was more than a year of tests and the diagnosis just before his fifth birthday in 2009. Children with Batten disease slowly lose motor functions and suffer gradual mental deterioration and vision loss. Noah, 9, and Laine, 7, now use wheelchairs. “They are definitely differ-

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.

Lately, I’m hearing some incorrect grammar in writing and talking. They say, “me and my friend.” It’s supposed to be, “my friend and me.” And a lot of people are saying, “I want to thank so-and-so.” And then at the end, they don’t say, “thank you.” Some people do. They say, “I want to apologize.” That’s not an apology. They need to say, “I apologize.”
It’s sad We all watched the news on Boston. The 19-year-old who was captured, he became a citizen, but he is not a citizen of this country. My question is, anybody can become a citizen here? Aren’t they checked out before? It’s sad. My daughter, for two days, didn’t even want to go anywhere.
Too many guns I would like to express my opinion of the greediness and selfishness of the NRA and the gun dealers who go along with selling guns to anybody who wants them. And every day when I turn on the TV, all I hear about is people getting killed with guns. It’s terrible that they are making money and not considering the other things that happen when people have those guns. Why can’t our Congress do something about it?

Downers Grove Market kicks off Saturday downtown By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Downtown Downers Grove again will be bustling Saturday morning when vendors and shoppers open the Downtown Downers Grove Market for the season. The market has grown substantially in the past 20 years from a small traditional market into a center of attention with music, cooking demonstrations and food and goods vendors, among other highlights. It is jointly sponsored by the Indian Boundary YMCA and the village of Downers Grove. “We have worked really hard to make the downtown market the destination place on a Saturday morning,” Indian Boundary YMCA Executive Director Barbara Taylor said. “On top of what the market has to offer, the downtown Downers Grove businesses are pretty unique and fun to visit also.” The market is open from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturdays from May 11 to Oct. 19 in the
4949 Forest Ave., Downers Grove, IL 630-724-1061
Leanring from the Classroom of Dreams
Downers Grove Main Street Train Station’s south parking lot off Burlington Avenue. On the busiest Saturdays last year, the market saw more than 3,400 visitors, Taylor said, helping the market earn the ranking of third on West Suburban Living’s “Best of the West” farmers market list. “I think that’s clearly an indication of it’s not the same old, same old,” she said. “We really have tried to bring in a variety of vendors.” Taylor said the market board is working on a Facebook page that will be up before the opening of the market. It will show which vendors are selling goods, and what other special events and activities will happen at the market on any given weekend. New items offered by vendors this summer include Sno Cones, toffee, gluten-free and vegan baked goods, nuts and granola. In addition to buying produce and other uncooked ingredients, shoppers can come hungry for a meal – prepared foods include breakfast sandwiches, pizza, calzones, donuts, popcorn, cookies, scones, smoothies, cupcakes, pretzels and lemon shakeups. Taylor said the market only accepts local vendors and does not let larger, online companies set up a table. “People feel pretty good about buying local fruits and vegetables, and knowing that the baked products are baked here,” she said. Non-food vendors offering jewelry, children’s clothing, handbags, art and other items also will have tables. Volunteers from the YMCA staff the market, and proceeds from vendor fees go to help low-income families through YMCA programming.

Former Downers Grove resident ordered to pay $3.7M for Ponzi scheme SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA DOWNERS GROVE – A federal judge ordered a former Downers Grove man to pay more than $3.7 million in restitution for a Ponzi-like investment scheme he was convicted of operating with two other men. Christopher Andersen, 57, met the two other defendants sentenced by the judge while in prison for unrelated crimes. After they were released, they joined together in a Ponzi-type investment fraud scheme that caused about
100 people to lose more than $3.6 million, according to a news release from the Department of Justice. Two of the defendants purported to run a business, Sundown Entertainment Inc., that bought and sold films and comic-book rights and together raised more than $7 million from about 150 investors. The lead defendant, Andersen, was sentenced in fall to 95 months in prison. All three had pleaded guilty to fraud charges that were brought against them in 2010.

DOWNERS GROVE – The Downers Grove Village Council will continue discussions next week about a possible solution to a garbage-overflow problem at a downtown corner. The Village Council decided not to place the item on Tuesday night’s agenda for a vote because it is the same meeting that sees the departure of two commissioners and the swearing-in of two newly elected commissioners. Mayor Martin Tully said further discussion of the proposal also was requested by a council member before it is placed on the consent agenda. The project would build a dumpster enclosure at the northwest corner of the down-
town commuter parking deck, fixing what village officials said has been an ongoing eyesore for several years. Several businesses dump their garbage at the corner, and on the worst days, garbage is piled on and around the dumpsters and grease containers, Deputy Village Manager Michael Baker said. The $60,000 project would build a concrete and brick rectangular structure to house the dumpsters, grease bins and new recycling containers. It would have a locked, steel gate. Officials said the frequency of garbage pickup also would increase. Once built, the structure would be maintained by Downtown Downers Grove Inc. Village officials said the project has been in progress for years.

DOWNERS GROVE – The U.S. Postal Service again will join Downers Grove and Woodridge letter carriers on Saturday for the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive, providing assistance to millions of Americans struggling to put food on their tables. Now in its 21st year, the Stamp Out Hunger effort is the nation’s largest single-day food drive, according to the U.S. Postal Service news release. In 2012, drive organizers across the country collected more than 70 million pounds of food donations for the eighth-consecutive year. To participate in the Stamp
Out Hunger drive, residents can leave a bag containing nonperishable foods, such as canned soup, canned vegetables, pasta, rice or cereal, next to their mailbox before the time of regular mail delivery Saturday. Local letter carriers will collect food donations and take them to West Suburban Community Food Pantry, 6809 Hobson Valley Drive, Unit 118, in Woodridge. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s annual study measuring food security in the United States, nearly 50 million Americans, including more than 17 million children, are struggling with hunger. – Suburban Life Media

Downers Grove 10-year-old Nate Pautsch will be honored this month by the Association of Fundraising Professionals Chicago Chapter for his philanthropic work with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
How cool of a kid is Nate Pautsch? Last week, we ran a story about Nate, a student at Lester Elementary in Downers Grove, sticking up for a cancer-stricken friend on the playground one day. Nate already is making an impact in the battle against cancer at just 10 years old, and he’s a rising star in the philanthropic ranks. Keep it up, Nate! When it comes to the District 99 orchestra, John Svoboda is a legend. Now retired, the longtime orchestra director has impacted countless music students over the years. And he’s coming back – at least for one day, anyway. On May 22, Svoboda will guest conduct at the orchestra’s spring concert at DGS at 7 p.m. Alumni are invited.

Walls, floors, furnishings Rick Ashton and restrooms need Executive director of the a makeover. Space Downers Grove Public Library for computer users is scarce. Expectations for convenience and service have evolved. Students, community groups and business people need places to meet, work and collaborate. The design process has a public component. At library board meetings May 22, June 26 and July 24, we will review the architects’ progress. Co-sponsored by the Friends of the Library, the June 26 meeting will feature schematic design, including any proposed changes to the floor plan or interior traffic pattern. Although we do not yet know what exciting improvements our design professionals may envision, I am confident we will achieve a refreshed building to serve Downers Grove well for many years. I hope you will come to see, hear and speak on June 26.

FEMA DISASTER DECLARATION PROCESS Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials were in our area the week of April 29, 2013, to assess flood damage.

With more than 40 Illinois counties affected by the flood, it is likely to take several weeks before FEMA is able to complete their assessment and a determination regarding providing federal disaster assistance can be made. Residents are encouraged to monitor the Protect DuPage website and Protect DuPage Facebook page for updates regarding flood recovery, including updates pertaining to the federal disaster declaration process. The Village will also provide updates on the process via our website, Facebook, Twitter, E-News and DGTV, as they become available.

Golden Basket helps patrons rise and shine WESTMONT – Putting a bright exclamation mark on breakfast and lunch is Golden Basket in Westmont. It’s easy to understand the buzz about the eatery once you venture inside. Early one recent Sunday afternoon, my dining companion and I were warmly greeted and led to a comfortable booth in the sun-drenched room ringed by windows creating an airy effect. The space is attractive with a crisp gray and cream color scheme, wood floor, and tables and booths generously spaced for ease of conversation, even in a packed room. Check the center column where specials are posted. I picked the omelet of the day, featuring bacon, sundried tomatoes, Swiss cheese and grilled onion. The interplay of ingredients was nicely balanced inside the expertly prepared eggs – a true test for breakfast fans. Every bite was packed with flavorful tidbits. Two sides are included with the omelet. One selection offers a choice of every type of toast, even raisin bread, which
my dining companion enjoyed. I opted instead for a fluffy pancake that arrived with a light sprinkling of powdered sugar and a generous carafe of hot syrup for a decadent treat. Choices for the second side dish range from potatoes to fresh fruit, which looked delicious at a neighboring table, including pineapple and bananas in the mix. Our server recommended the “homemade potatoes,” which are cubed. Happily, nothing is overly salted. As good as they were, I have to confess I couldn’t resist swapping the house potatoes for my dining companion’s delicious hash browns that avoided the common pitfall of oiliness and instead popped with fresh flavor. They were nestled in a skillet featuring bite-size skirt steak with pepper and onions, topped with cheddar cheese and two eggs over easy. “This is tasty and just the right size,” said my companion, who had added a dollop of the subtle Cholula Hot Sauce for some extra kick.

Makeover reimagines Drury Lane in time for Mother’s Day By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com Raising the curtain is usually commonplace at Drury Lane, when it comes to theatrical productions like the current run of “Oliver!” but last week it meant the unveiling of a whole new look and feel to the lobby, ballrooms and the more intimate settings for special occasions in Oakbrook Terrace. Kyle DeSantis, president of Drury Lane, announced the completion of the first phase of renovations, noting the second will be done by mid-2014, which will encompass the restaurant and theater bar. A new, more extensive menu already has been put in place for theater patrons and people booking corporate gatherings,
weddings and other events. Designer Shannon Leoni created a nuanced, neutral color palette for each space. It marks a big change from the expansive lobby’s original dominant red to the new tones of chocolate brown, cream, coral and pale blue set off by four, 12-foot Swarovski crystal chandeliers and coral marble accents. The redone cocktail lounge has a fresh menu, including a seasonal cocktail list and light fare such as bruschetta, Asian beef rolls, snow crab and shrimp cocktail, and grilled chicken panini. Charming visual escapes are provided by the reinvisioned French and English rooms. Silver-leaf Chinoiserie wallpaper, Louis XVI-inspired dining chairs, a cream-col-
ored coffered ceiling, new wall sconces and four new crystal chandeliers are highlights of The French Room renovation. The English Room has a warmly clubby atmosphere, with lacquered brown walls and plush banquettes. On the walls hangs a creative mix of Old World-style paintings in ornate frames paired with fine art photographic portraits of Hollywood icons. The visuals pop in this room. Assistant Manager Jordyn DiOrio says the space has a “jazz club vibe,” and points out the smiling countenance of Drury Lane founder Tony DeSantis, whose caricature hangs over the fireplace. Drury Lane is celebrating its new look and Mother’s Day weekend with special events that include a mother-daugh-

and then throwing the ball a split second later with the same hand would be a challenge, but Alfini has worked hard to become the fielder he is. It’s a testament to the athletic ability of a player who also competed in basketball and football when he was younger. “I’ve taken fielding practice all my life,” Alfini said. “I started pitching when I was 11 or 12 and I play first base and outfield in the summer, so I’ve kind of done a little bit of everything.” The way he pitches would beg for comparisons to Jim Abbott, the former major leaguer who pitched in the pros for a decade despite being born without a right hand, but Alfini likes the work of a more contemporary lefty. “I like C.J. Wilson,” Alfini said. “He doesn’t dominate people but he gets people out. I like watching players who are similar to me.” Starters Brian Glowicki, Zach Burdi and Danny Mayer have pitched the majority of the Mustangs’ innings this season, but Alfini is far and away the team leader in appearances. As the No. 1 reliever, he enters the game in

DOWNERS GROVE – When he pitches, Nick Alfini sometimes draws the curiosity of opposing fans. After all, it’s rare to see a pitcher throw and glove the ball with the same hand. That’s exactly what the Downers Grove South senior does. Alfini was born with damage to the nerve cluster in his right arm that conducts signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm and hand. That hasn’t stopped him from doing it all on the baseball diamond during his life. “It’s the only thing I’ve ever known so it’s natural to me,” Alfini said. Natural might be putting it lightly. He can grip, but not wear, his glove with his affected right hand while he pitches with his left, and he fields just as well as any other player on the field. Pitching in extended relief earlier this season in a key West Suburban Gold series against Hinsdale South, Alfini fielded a hard come-backer to the mound, quickly got the ball out of the glove and into his left hand to start a game-ending 1-6-3 double play in the Mustangs’ 7-6 win. “To turn that double play, nobody can really respect how tough that play is for a kid like that,” said South coach Darren Orel. The coach is continually impressed with Alfini, on and off the mound. “That kid just comes in and plays a role, and there’s not a better kid in the world. Good things happen to good people and there’s an example of it right there.” One might think fielding

Breakout players
Rising stars emerge for area high school baseball, softball teams
By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com
Many high school players are debuting in the spotlight this spring for area baseball and softball teams – from seniors stepping into leadership roles to underclassmen earning starting varsity jobs.
Kelsey Gockman School: Downers Grove North softball Class: Junior Position: Outfield/catcher Impact: There have been a ton of firsts for Gockman this season. She never had batted clean-up before this season, but now she is a mainstay in that spot in the order. She had never hit a home run before, and she has five already this season. She also has been able to call a few games on her own as a catcher. She’s had a breakout season in every way. “I was looking for a big year out of her, and she’s been wonderful,” North coach Mark Magro said.
Robert Kokoszka School: Westmont baseball Class: Senior Position: Catcher Impact: Batting .365 (third on the team) with 16 runs (fourth on the team) in the No. 2 spot in the order is only part of Kokoszka’s value to the Sentinels. As a catcher, he is the linchpin to the defense and has committed just two errors in 124 chances, and he has handled a pitching staff with a 3.44 team ERA. “His catching has been amazing, and he’s pretty much our captain because he runs the defense back there,” Westmont coach D.J. Cocks said. “He’s been amazing.”

varsity ball look effortless. With a .472 batting average, she ranks third among the Mustangs’ regulars. She leads the team with four home runs and is second with 18 RBIs, and she has played error-free defense in the outfield. “She’s done a really nice job for us so far,” South coach Ron Havelka said.
Zach Moran School: Westmont baseball Class: Junior Position: Pitcher/outfield Impact: Third on the team with 20 RBIs and fourth with a .344 average, Moran has been even more impressive on the mound where is one of Westmont’s top pitchers. As of May 1, Moran had a 4-1 record with one of Westmont’s two saves, was second on the team with 23 strikeouts in a little over 29 innings, and had a 3.54 ERA. “He’s way above where he was last year,” Westmont coach D.J. Cocks said. “He had no varsity wins last year, and now I’d say
he’s probably our No. 2 pitcher. He’s been lights-out on the mound.”
Megan Seratt School: Westmont softball Class: Senior Position: Third base Impact: The 2012 season was a struggle for Seratt, but she has put that lackluster season far behind her. Among the team leaders in RBIs (seven) and walks (six), she also provides defensive stability at third. “Her average is way up and her errors are way down, and she’s been great at the corner for us,” Westmont coach Jason Bolden said. “She’s also one of our team captains, and she set a great example by putting forth great effort.”
Susie Sternard School: Westmont softball Class: Senior Position: Pitcher/outfield Impact: Whether at-bat (teambest .422 average) or in the field, Sternard has been solid all season for the Sentinels. She has evolved

into a more dangerous hitter simply by not trying to do too much, and as a pitcher (1.84 ERA) she has been a solid back-up to sophomore Kristen Skala. “She’s been consistent at the plate and putting the ball in play,” Westmont coach Jason Bolden said. “She’s done a great job taking what the pitchers have given her. If the pitch is outside she’ll take it the other way and if it’s inside she’ll go with it.”
Matt Zabloudil School: Downers Grove North baseball Class: Senior Position: Catcher Impact: Zabloudil saw limited action as the Trojans’ back-up catcher last season and has stepped into the full-time role without a problem. Playing in all 20 games as of May 2, he had a .408 batting average, two home runs, 16 RBIs and was tied for the team lead with 11 walks. Most importantly, Zabloudil has
done a great job handling North’s pitching staff. “His No. 1 job is to handle the pitchers and he’s stepped in and done that well,” North coach Chad Isaacson said. “He’s outstanding defensively and he calls a good game.”
Matt Zinnecker School: Downers Grove South baseball Class: Junior Position: Outfield Impact: Zinnecker was on the radar of South’s varsity coaching staff when he played on the sophomore squad last season, but he has made a bigger impact than expected for the varsity team this year. Playing the infield the last two seasons, Zinnecker has made a flawless switch to outfield and has produced consistently at the plate (.413 average with 16 RBIs) all season. “He’s solid in the outfield and he hits for us,” South coach Darren Orel said. “He’s really stepped up this season.”

Rivalry under the lights By JASON ROSSI
Primetime showdown
jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Softball in Downers Grove is worthy of primetime treatment. On Thursday night, the lights will shine on the softball teams from Downers Grove North and Down ers Grove South as the two teams are scheduled to meet at McCollum Park. In addition to rekindling the crosstown rivalry, the game will be a celebration of all levels of softball in Downers Grove. “It’s going to be DOLLS night so they’re all going to be there,” North coach Mark Magro said of the Downers Grove-based youth softball

program. “There’s going to be raffles between innings and tons of other stuff.” The Trojans played under the lights at Doerhoefer Park in April 2012, topping Plainfield East 5-0. North and South started a night game last year at Doerhoefer before rain and lightning forced the contest to be canceled, but that little bit was enough to spur the idea of Thursday’s night game.
comes down to,” Isaacson said. “These guys all know each other, they all grew up with each other, so I’m sure there’s motivation, but from my point of view we don’t focus on any other team but ours. We have that same approach every day.” The Trojans cut down on their errors in Saturday’s doubleheader against West Suburban Silver-foe Oak Park-River Forest, but the Huskies took

“You couldn’t even park at Doerhoefer,” Magro said. “People were parked all the way down by Ogden.” “I think it will be good. It’ll be fun,” South coach Ron Havelka said. “Hopefully we get good weather.” The pageantry and intensity of a crosstown game will make the night special, but Havelka is telling his team to approach it as it would any other game. After all, the two teams are in the same sectional and could meet again soon in the playoffs, which begin May 20. “Of course you want to win a crosstown game, but we might meet in the regional or sectional, so that’s when it really counts,” Havelka said. “Playing a
good team like Downers Grove North in May is a good warmup for the regionals.” The steady approach is necessary for Havelka and the Mustangs, who were scheduled to play seven games in six days with the game against the Trojans being the fourth game in four days. South (11-7 as of Monday) also was looking to rebound from a pair of weekend losses to Oswego East. North (17-7) had road conference games against York (Monday) and Oak Park-River Forest (4:30 p.m. Wednesday), the two teams chasing the Trojans in the West Suburban Silver, scheduled before playing South. The Trojans won’t turn their at-
tention to the Mustangs until finishing the OPRF game. “Our first goal is winning conference,” Magro said. “For a school that had never won conference before, to win our fourth in a row is our first goal.” Once game time rolls around, however, the crosstown showdown promises to be a memorable event. “I think it’s a great thing for softball and a great thing for Downers Grove when you can do this and it’s North vs. South,” Magro said. “I know the kids will get fired up for it,” Havelka said. “It’s always going to be competitive no matter what when teams from North and South have a game against each other.”

Trojans. He admitted he was looking forward to the game and relished earning the win, but from both coaches’ standpoint, the crosstown showdown was just another game. “I don’t think we wanted to win just because it’s Downers North,” Orel said. “I mean, Chad and I get along so well and coach [Paul Parpet, South assistant] coaches football with those guys. It’s such a friendly
both games, 8-2 and 10-1, to bring the WSS-leading Trojans back to the pack. Prior to Monday’s series finale against OPRF, North sat at 16-6 overall and 11-3 in conference, just ahead of the Huskies (10-4) and Lyons Township (9-4). After winning 14 straight games, the Mustangs fell to Willowbrook 11-6 in the first game of Saturday’s West Suburban Gold doubleheader. The loss set them back to 22-4 on the year, but they rebounded with an 11-3 win to up their WSG record to 15-2 ahead of Monday’s conference finale. Taylor, Joe Vattimo and Matt Zinnecker all had a pair of RBIs in the Game 2 win as Danny Mayer pitched six innings for the win.

DOWNERS GROVE – Pitchers, especially starting pitchers, are nothing if not creatures of habit, slavish to their routines. Maintaining a routine between starts was a little more difficult for Downers Grove South pitcher Zach Taylor. After pitching in early April against Hinsdale South, the junior hardly had stepped on the mound until earning the start and the win in the Mustangs’ 7-3 victory over Downers Grove North on Thursday. “He’s had some relief work since [Hinsdale South], but I don’t think he’s had more than one or two innings since then, so I was really happy with the way he threw the ball,” South coach Darren Orel said. Maybe four weeks between starts is the way to go for Taylor, who pitched one of his best games on long rest. “I threw my changeup more than I usually do and I was locating with that, and my curveball was working well, too,” Taylor said. Taylor yielded just three hits and an earned run in five innings of work against the

GIRLS SOCCER PLAYOFF PREVIEW
Mustangs get healthy in time for regionals Dietz and Tess Grannan were the goal scorers when South (11-7-1 as of Monday) topped Willowbrook during the regular season. The Mustangs have allowed just 11 goals against since that April 2 game, and Anderson hopes the defensive core of Lauren Tusek, Lori Niehaus and Eva Porlier can remain strong in the postseason. Playing at home will be a plus, but Anderson knows it will take strong play to move on and face Benet or Farragut. “I think it is a benefit not to have to travel and the comfort of being at your own facility definitely helps,” Anderson said. “We just have to play our game. Our focus needs to be on our consistency because that’s been an area where we’ve struggled this season.”

Downers Grove South Class: 3A Sectional seed: No. 5 Regional: Downers Grove South Regional opener: 5 p.m. May 15 vs. No. 12 Willowbrook What to watch: There will be a lot that is familiar to Downers Grove South as it opens the postseason, and it extends beyond a conference rival on its home field. For the first time in more than a month, the Mustangs should be whole again, bringing familiar faces back to the fold. “We’re getting people back and now we just have to work to get them back in playing shape,” South coach Abby Anderson said. “Stephanie Zurales just came back after three weeks and Brittany Dietz is supposed to come back this week.” A knee injury and illness have kept Dietz on the sidelines for the better part of a month. She and Zurales rejoin an attack that has adjusted to life without them. “We’ll just slide Brittany in there and try to

Class: 3A Sectional seed: No. 5 Regional: Lyons Township Regional opener: 7 p.m. Tuesday vs. No. 7 Glenbard East What to watch: For the talented but young Trojans (there are only four seniors on the roster), the postseason opener will be the first taste of playoffs for most of the team.
Luckily, North has senior leadership in two important places – in net with keeper Christina Siddu and at the top of the attack with forward Heather Muno. The play of both has helped the Trojans go from 2-4 at one point this season to 7-7 overall. North approaches the postseason with momentum after capturing the title at the West Chicago Wildcat Shootout. The Trojans lost to the host Wildcats in the tournament’s final game Saturday but captured the title on goal differential with wins over Bartlett (5-0) and Glenbard North (1-0). Freshman Maria Derrig scored twice against Bartlett, as did junior defender Jamie Sebo. Junior midfielder Gianna Marconi, who scored the winning goal against Downers Grove South this season, tallied against Glenbard North. If North can replicate the results of last year’s 1-0 playoff win over Glenbard East, and if the seeds hold in the other regional semifinal, the Trojans would move on to face a familiar foe in No. 2-seed Lyons Township in the regional championship game at 3 p.m. May 18. The Lions topped the Trojans 2-0 in a West Suburban Silver game earlier this season.
