Downers Grove’s Eagle Restaurant regular Joan Konecny (left) of Downers Grove receives her order from restaurant manager John Zografos on May 7, the day the restaurant was inducted in the Vienna Beef Hot Dog Hall of Fame. the wall art is framed, and it’s clear, as Zografos said, people are invited to stick around. “They come to eat and spend time enjoying it,” he said. “So we keep the place always fresh and new.” The current look is Eagle’s fourth remodel, and he said this spring, they plan to add patio eating.

Many customers have been coming for as long as Zografos’ children have worked there, such as his son John, who now is manager. Shortly after Vienna Beef Senior Vice President Bob Schwartz presented the Hall of Fame plaque to Zografos on May 7, nearby resident Joan Konecny stopped in for a hot

DOWNERS GROVE – Reaching for the ketchup in a crowd enjoying Chicago-style hot dogs can draw an actual, audible gasp – until they realize the condiment is just for the fries, of course. That sacrosanct recipe for the Windy City dog is practiced by hundreds of stands, diners and restaurants, but only a select number make the Vienna Beef Hot Dog Hall of Fame. Downers Grove’s Eagle Restaurant was given the nod by Vienna Beef on May 7, honoring it for more than 30 years of serving American and Greek fare to diners. Owner Lee Zografos opened the business in 1981 at the corner of Maple and Fairview avenues, converting what had been a vacant gas station into one of the favorite local spots for hot dogs, hamburgers, gyros, sausages, Italian beef and more. It’s his second restaurant, after the Towne Kitchen Restaurant, which he owned in Clarendon Hills from 1973 to 2005. Visitors to Eagle may notice the interior has a different feel than many hot dog stops. The walls have a softer color,

Ketchup on a Hot Dog.” He is passionate about hot dogs, their place in Chicago-area history and the importance of mom-and-pop businesses in the community. “The origins of the Chicago-style hot dog was really during the Depression,” he said. “It was the ‘depression dog’ or the ‘banquet on a bun,’ which in those days you got for a nickel. And you had mustard, relish, onion and cucumber. So you have a little bit of everything, your food groups.” Eventually, the lineup of toppings cemented itself in the familiar standard of mustard, onion, relish, pickle, tomato, sport pepper and celery salt. “I always say ‘dragging it through the garden,’” Schwartz said. In addition to serving the cylindrical meat sandwich, restaurants have to be open for at least 20 years to be considered for the Vienna Hall. Once nominated, Schwartz and others will consider the food, along with the intangibles that make a place special. “They’ve got to mean something to the community,” he said.

8NEWS BRIEF District 99 school board selects new leaders DOWNERS GROVE – The Community High School District 99 school board picked its new president and vice president May 6 with votes reinforcing a divide between two groups of members. The board voted, 4-3, to elect

Nancy Kupka as president over Debbie Boyle. Boyle, Keith Matune and Michael Davenport voted against Kupka. Rick Pavinato, who was elected to the board for the first time this spring, was elected as vice president over Davenport with a 4-3 vote. The dissenting votes again were

cast by Boyle, Matune and Davenport. Board member Julia Beckman nominated Kupka, and board member Terry Pavesich nominated Pavinato. The lines drawn were reflective of the April 9 election. A day before the election, former candidate Henry

Jakobsze said Pavesich and the Downers Grove Community Activist had continued to endorse him with campaign literature, even after he had dropped from the race, in order to unseat Boyle, who also was up for election. He filed a formal complaint with the election committee

with the assistance of Bill White, who was school board president at the time. The DGA declined any wrongdoing and said it already had printed the campaign materials before Jakobsze had dropped from the race. – Suburban Life Media

Ask Dr. Webster

A: Oral thrush is an infection of the mouth caused by candida fungus, which is also called yeast. It is sometimes called cadidiasis or moniliasis. White or grayish patches appear on the mouth’s mucous membranes, including the throat, gums, tongue, cheeks and lips. Candida albicans fungus occurs naturally in the body. The problem of oral thrush develops when the body’s chemistry gets out of balance and the fungus grows too rapidly. The elderly and infants are more likely to develop oral thrush, but it can strike anyone whose resistance may be compromised. People who suffer from dry mouth, technically called xerostomia, are also at heightened risk for thrush. Improperly sterilized bottle nipples can be one of the causes for infant thrush. Infants may develop a cough and fever and have trouble eating. The tissue patches that are associated with oral thrush look like curdled milk. If they are scraped off, they bleed and are painful. Mild cases of oral thrush are likely to fade away without treatment. Severe cases, however, may require topical application of an anti-fungal medication. Talk with your dentist about oral thrush and other infections that can develop in the mouth.

say large diesel trucks and other construction equipment rumble in and out of the property late at night, despite their complaints to the village. Some neighbors said combining vehicles from Delta’s facility with Donegal’s trucks could make a bad situation worse. “I’m for [the development] … but I don’t want to see more cars, more traffic, especially

with Donegal,” Lacey Road resident Nick Janowitz said. Delta’s attorney Michael Fiandaca said the facility could push Donegal to operate in a more neighborhood-friendly manner, because the facility’s state license comes with quality-of-life standards that could give it leverage to pressure the construction company.

ORAL THRUSH Q: What is oral thrush

Ed McMenamin – emcmenamin@shawmedia.com

Delta Development of Downers Grove attorney Michael Fiandaca talks with residents about a possible supportive-living facility planned for 4200 Lacey Road.

If discussions with the village go as Delta hopes, Fiandaca said the project could be built by late 2014. The proposed facility has secured participation in a state program where residents pay their own rent, but Medicaid would kick in to provide rent for seniors who exhaust their savings. “It’s a successful program,” said Deana Wilson, director of housing operations for the company that would run the facility, Presence Life Connections. “It’s very much filling a need that no other product in assisted living is filling.” Lacey Road is Delta’s fourth attempt at building the facility in Downers Grove. A proposal for 63rd Street was denied by the village because it did not meet the fiveacre lot size requirement; an attempt downtown was denied by commissioners who said it did not meet the goals for that area of town; and a second attempt on 63rd Street fizzled after opposition from neighbors.

SD • Wednesday, May 15, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Reporter | Progress

DOWNERS GROVE – Developers proposing a supportive-living facility at 4200 Lacey Road took input from neighbors concerned with the possible traffic congestion and aesthetic impact of the project at an informal meeting Thursday. Delta Development of Downers Grove wants to build the 120-unit facility for seniors on a wooded lot on Lacey Road facing residential streets. The project has not gone to the village’s Planning Commission, where it would have to be approved before going up for a vote at the Downers Grove Village Council. Much of the discussion from residents focused not on the proposed project, but on years of frustration with Donegal Excavating, a construction company that sits next door to the wooded lot. The construction company operates on a residential zoned lot, and many neighbors

people at the meeting, Fiandaca said rules governing when service trucks and other traffic would be allowed to enter or leave the facility could be written into the project’s eventual agreement with the village. But after their experience with Donegal, many residents expressed skepticism that the village would provide suitable enforcement. The facility would employ between 40 and 50 people and house up to 180 residents, Fiandaca said. He described a building with three stories facing Lacey Road, placed behind a tall tree line. The back of the building would have four stories, but built at a lower ground level so the top story would appear to be the same height as the front from the street. A parking lot for about 50 cars would be in the rear, and the property would include a water-detention pond. The builders also likely would resurface and widen Lacey Road.

Irritable Bowel, Celiac, Crohn’s or Colitis? Are you afraid to leave your house due to an unpredictable bowel? Have you tried diferent treatments but continue to sufer? Do you know the essentials for a healthy digestive system? Have you given up and decided to just live with it? he digestive system assimilates food (carbs, fats and proteins) to produce energy. It breaks down food into nutrient forms that your body can absorb. It uses enzymes, good bacteria and hydrochloric acid to break down food to a usable form. Your gut is a barrier, a tube that starts in your mouth, continues as your esophagus, small intestine, large intestine and rectum. 80% of your immune system is in your gut. When you break down the barrier (gut lining), toxins can “leak” into the blood stream leading to an immune response, inlammation and food allergies. Hippocrates, the father of medicine said… “look to the gut, there will you ind the origin of almost all human illness.”

Hi, my name is Dr. Jefrey E. Forzley with Lemont Natural Healthcare. I am a chiropractic physician and a holistic practitioner. I am passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions. I have been in practice for 28 years. As a holistic practitioner I evaluate the nervous system, immune system, endocrine system (hormones), diet essentials (Neuro-‐Metabolic Care), manage the underlying cause and use natural therapies to manage digestive disorders. here are many essentials required for proper digestion. Let’s talk about a few… Zinc is necessary to make hydrochloric acid (HCL). HCL is needed to break down food (protein) in the stomach and for production of methyl groups. Methyl groups turn on tumor suppressor genes and turn of oncogenes leading to potential cancer growth. If HCL is deicient, this results in poor digestion and a many imbalances due to a deiciency of methyl groups. HCL deiciency also leads to growth of pathological bacteria like H. Pylori, which can cause gastritis, stomach ulcers and possibly stomach cancer. Probiotics (good bacteria) are normally found in the gut. Optimal levels are needed for a proper functioning digestive system. hese probiotics are also part of your immune

system. hey play an important role in the protective barrier in your gut. Your gut makes up 80% of your immune system due to this barrier system. Antibiotics kill pathologic bacteria and infections but they also kill good bacteria and cause gut dysbiosis (imbalance). his dysbiosis can lead to pathologic bacterial, yeast and parasitic infections as well as food allergies. Digestive system inlammation is associated with IBS, Crohn’s, Celiac and Ulcerative Colitis. It is due to stress, poor diet, toxins and food allergies. Digestive inlammation leads to production of cytokines (inlammatory cells). hese cytokines travel in the blood to the brain and inlame the brain cells. he brain (mesencephalon) in turn controls the digestive system. his leads to a vicious cycle resulting in an inlammatory cascade which exponentially worsens over time. Successfully managing digestive conditions involves balancing the nervous system, digestive system and immune system as well as improving the diet, decreasing gut inlammation and detoxifying the body. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a digestive disorder that includes abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating and alternating constipation and diarrhea. he cause is unknown but theories include toxic overload, intestinal infections, inlammation from stress and poor diet generalized condition of the digestive system poor signaling from the brain to the digestive system for proper function.

Medications to treat digestive disorders can weaken your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer. hese medications may give you symptom relief but have side efects and DO NOT ADDRESS the UNDERLYING CAUSE of your condition.

Testimonial As someone who lives with chronic nausea, poor digestion and anxiety, I assumed I was out of options when countless doctors told me that there was nothing else they could do for me. hey told me it was likely all in my head. hen I visited Dr. Forzley and he told me from the initial consultation that he was very conident he could help me. I was so excited that I cried. No other doctor has ever been so much on my side. Now, 8 weeks into treatment, I am nausea free, anxiety free and my digestion is normal. I have started living a life I never thought I could live. My body is a machine, slowed and dirtied by processed foods and environmental toxins. But with the help of Dr. Forzley, my body is on the way back to an optimal state for long term health and happiness. Veronica M.

Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is a digestive condition that involves gluten sensitivity like Celiac Disease but is not an autoimmune disorder. It involves digestive symptoms (pain, bloating…), fatigue, joint pains as well as neurologic symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, poor memory, brain fog and diiculty concentrating. Celiac Disease, Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are autoimmune diseases. An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your body instead of protecting it. here is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders. But you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY and decrease the efects of the tissue destruction. If you have an autoimmune disease like Celiac, Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis and you do not balance and calm down the autoimmune destruction, your immune system can attack other tissues and cause multiple autoimmune disorders. It is common for people with an autoimmune disorder to have multiple autoimmune diseases for this reason. Medications are not always the long term answer.

Holistic therapy can manage digestive conditions by: 1) inding and balancing the underlying cause and… 2) using natural therapies that work with your body.

Dr. Terri Lightbody Hearing loss (630) 580-5777 is the second most common complaint of individuals above the age of 50 behind arthritis. Hearing loss typically develops gradually over a period of years, therefore it isn’t an easily recognizable problem. Your hearing is vital is your overall well-being because it is the key link to connection to family, friends and co-workers. A hearing problem disrupts communication, stiling personal progress in various stages in life, educational, social and career achievements. In promoting awareness for healthy hearing, audiologists seek to help those who struggle with communication diiculties so that an individual may resume a normal social life. Without intervention, the efects of hearing loss are virtually pervasive in all aspects of life.

Some examples of problems that have been reported to arise from untreated hearing loss: • Increased stress & anxiety • Insecurity • Social withdrawl & isolation • Depression • Inappropriate responses to questions • Decreased work performance • Memory issues and dementia We know that those with even a mild hearing loss are twice as likely to develop dementia than those with normal range of hearing. With the sense of hearing impaired, the brain experiences lessened brain activity, which can lead to brain atrophy. he “use it or lose it” principle applies to hearing. It is our sense of hearing that provides that social connection to others. Is it time for you or someone you know to have a hearing evaluation?

About the author: Dr. Terri Lightbody is a nationally known Audiologist and has her private practice at Town Square Wheaton. She works in the community as well as with the Lions Club of Wheaton, a non-proit organization dedicated to helping those with hearing loss and low vision. She is a nominee for the Gamon Award which recognizes outstanding contribution of service to those in need. She is the forerunner in today’s most advanced hearing devices.

Federal funds available to Downers Grove residents affected by April’s flood SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA DOWNERS GROVE – Downers Grove residents affected by the April 18 flood can apply for federal funds to pay for temporary housing, home repairs and other disaster-related expenses. Assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency became available under President Barack Obama’s recent disaster declaration for DuPage and 10 other counties. Residents can begin the relief application process Saturday. To apply, visit www .disasterassistance.gov or call 1-800-621-3362. FEMA has been conducting damage-assessment surveys

throughout Illinois, and more assistance could be available in the coming weeks. Obama’s decision comes on the heels of weeks of lobbying from Gov. Pat Quinn and several state representatives. In a Thursday letter addressed to Obama, state representatives said local funds are not an adequate means of addressing the damaged homes and public infrastructure. “It is clear from the magnitude of the damage that recovery efforts will be beyond means of state and local budgets,” the letter said. “A major disaster declaration will make critical federal assistance available to help our communities to rebuild and recover.”

“ A Doctor’s Confession to the Village of Downers Grove” Dear Friend, Confessions are diicult, but I wanted to set the record straight. In order to do this, I irst need to give you some history. A few years ago, I met Kelly. She had been sufering from debilitating cluster headaches, a severe form of migraines that occur daily. She was failing out of school and had become depressed due to her feeling of helplessness and unrelenting pain. She sought treatment from neurologists, ophthalmologists, dentists, ENT’s, and was only ofered an array of drugs with awful side efects. Finally, she was referred to a chiropractor. Within a week, her headaches were gone. She has been free of these clusters for years now, and illed with regret only that she had not gone to this doctor sooner. his is where I come in; I helped Kelly with these headaches, as I have helped many patients with various health problems. Here’s what some of them have said: “My hearing was nearly gone...He gave me my hearing back!” (G.V.)

“I could barely run on my knee...I am working on my qualifying time for the Olympics...” (T.H.) “My Back pain kept me from taking care of my family...I’ve recently returned to work.” (R.S.)

Several times a day my patients thank me for helping them with their health problems. But I can’t really take credit. My confession is that I’ve never healed anyone of anything. What I do is perform a spe-

ciic spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself. We get tremendous results. It’s as simple as that. Although Chiropractic faces many skeptics, the studies speak for themselves, like the Virginia study that showed 99% of patients who saw a Chiropractor were satisied with the results. Studies show that chiropractic can double your immune capacity naturally, which keeps you from getting sick, saving money on medical bills. here is no reason for you to sufer even one more day, so I am now ofering the initial Exam, Consultation and X-Rays for only $20. his is a $250 value so I can only accept a limited number of patients. My goal is to help as many people heal themselves as possible. Call me at 630-318-6865 and see if I can help you. Main Street Chiropractic is located at 5157 Main St., Suite 200 in Downers Grove. I look forward to adding your success story to the list! Dr. Mike DeCubellis, D. C.

8SOUND OFF

Proper grammar, part II In reply to your very first “sounder” on May 9, 2013: I’m sorry, but it should be “my friend and I.” And I agree that individuals, as well as journalists, are guilty of many more grammatical improprieties. Don’t trust spell check. Trust the “Little, Brown Handbook.” I’ll bet there’s even an online version.

How to Sound Off Want to contribute to Sound Off? Call 331-481-6089 or email mslsoundoff@shawmedia.com Guidelines • When calling, please speak clearly and slowly. Keep messages to a maximum of 60 seconds. • Callers may speak on topics anonymously. • We will not publish attacks of a personal nature or those accusing persons of crimes or illegal conduct that have not been previously published or documented. • We will not print calls commenting on signed Letters to the Editor. • Sound Off comments are the opinions of our readers and, as such, should not be taken as fact.

negotiate how to use a stop sign. You get to the intersection. It’s a four-way stop. When you get there, you stop and you see what other vehicles are

Stop signs My gripe is with stop signs and the drivers who cannot

there ahead of you. All those vehicles have the right of way before you do. It’s not that hard. If you’re on the right of a vehicle, you have the right of way. If you’re facing each other, the car not making a direction change has the right of way, not the person making a left-hand turn, the person going straight has the right of way. I can’t believe people who hold down high-paying jobs and have very expensive vehicles or mid-range price vehicles, cannot negotiate how to use a stop sign.

Paying a high price By now, if you are a homeowner or business owner, you have received your real estate

tax bill. I suggest you look at it very carefully and, in particular, note the amount going to our school districts and remember that amount the next time the school district seeks another bond issue or raises for the administration and teachers. In my case, schools will receive over 66 percent of the total bill. If you are a retiree, you are paying a high price for living in your own home.

A fair shake When will the interest that we get on our savings accounts and CDs get a decent interest? Seniors count on these to live. Nobody seems to care that we’re not getting a fair shake on our investments.

Proper grammar, part III Today in the paper, it says that you should say, “my friend and me.” That is wrong. It’s “my friend and I,” “my friend and I went,” “my friend and I do,” not “my friend and me went,” or “my friend and me do.”

Hi, I don’t believe that your Sound Off section should print comments that are controversial in nature. For example, the comment titled “Who voted for this guy?” If you’re going to take a position on a controversial topic, you should be courageous enough to include your name. To say “Who voted for this guy” is a personal attack violating the newspaper’s own rule. Obviously a majority agree with Jim Oberweis, and voted for him or he wouldn’t be

EXTENSIONS are much more common this year – due to the many changes in the tax laws and problems with 1099s. If you haven’t completed your tax return •or have received a corrected 1099 INT/DIV from your Broker •or are missing a W-2, a 1099R, or some data for a stock or mutual fund sale you may have filed a form 4868 with the IRS before April 15th. Even if you did not, there are no penalties so long as you are due a refund. An extension gives you until October 15th to file the official tax return. You now have almost 5 more months to file! If you owe money to either the IRS or IL when you file, there may be a small penalty for late payment, but it is better to file a correct return by the later date. STRAUSS TAX SERVICE can prepare your Federal and IL returns which are on extension as well as prior year returns which have not been filed. We can help you locate missing forms and assist you in determining basis for stock or mutual fund sales.

Historical foundation needs support Downers Grove Township is proud to announce the formation of its 501(c)(3) Not-For-Profit Oak Hill/Oak Crest Foundation. Since 1985, Downers Grove Township has been the caretaker of Oak Hill/Oak Crest Cemeteries. Oak Hill/Oak Crest Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization Section 501 (c)(3) pursuing its mission of providing services for the Downers Grove Township Oak Hill Oak Crest cemeteries. Oak Hill and Oak Crest COMMUNITY cemeteries are between VOICE Glenview and Howard Lois streets, in unincorporated Sterba Downers Grove and Lisle. The Oak Hill Cemetery was a piece of land that was donated in 1865 by Dexter Stanley. Local families buried in Oak Hill include Downer Stanley, Dixon, Carpenter and Rogers, to name a few. Recently, Downers Grove Township took initiative to create this 501 (c)(3) with the intent to preserve the dignity of the cemeteries. A board of directors that is not compensated for its services governs the foundation. The Oak Hill/Oak Crest Foundation was established as a nonprofit organization to provide restoration of the cemeteries. Restoration projects include the repair and restoration of headstones and removal of brush that has grown over the headstones. Also, the foundation hopes to replace the fencing surrounding the cemeteries to ensure the security of the land. Finally, landscaping maintenance is necessary to preserve the dignity of the properties. The Oak Hill/Oak Crest Foundation’s mission is to restore the cemeteries to their original condition. But the foundation cannot do it alone. Donations are necessary to keep these historical cemeteries operational. We need the support of the community. For those who want to donated to the Oak/Hill Crest Foundation, call 630-719-6614 All monies received will be used exclusively for the betterment of the cemeteries. Your donation(s) are tax deductible. Downers Grove Township wants to thank you for supporting the historical preservation of our community.

Lois Sterba is president of the 501C3 Oak Hill/Oak Crest Foundation.

County leaders gather for business event By SARAH SMALL ssmall@shawmedia.com OAKBROOK TERRACE – Local business and government leaders gathered May 7 at Drury Lane to participate in the fourth-annual DuPage County Regional Business Outlook. The event – presented by Choose DuPage, Ice Miller, LLP and Mesirow Financial – was an opportunity for members of DuPage County’s busi-

ness community to learn about the economic situation at the county level and learn strategies to continue growing their organizations. Dan Cronin, chairman of the DuPage County Board, was the event’s first speaker and presented the State of the County address. He honored the county’s new municipal leaders who were elected April 9 as well as Larry Hartwig, the village of Addison’s retiring mayor, for his years of service.

“One of the reasons DuPage County is such a great place is because of the strength of its municipalities,” Cronin said. Cronin also introduced an initiative he’s started called ACT, which stands for Accountability, Consolidation and Transparency. He plans to use this program to eliminate excess or redundant units of government at the county level. There are more than 400 separate taxing bodies in DuPage County.

“An evaluation confirmed what we already suspected,” he said. “Consolidation is necessary.” Legislation is being created in Springfield that will give the county the authority to consolidate or eliminate excess units of government, Cronin said. Senate Bill 494, which does just this, recently passed and will advance to the House of Representatives. “I want to demonstrate to skeptical taxpayers that government reform can be done,” he said. Also at the event were two nationally recognized economists with Mesirow Financial. Diane Swonk, chief economist and senior managing director, spoke about the nation’s financial outlook, along with opportunities and challenges as the country recovers from the recession. Swonk’s colleague, Adolfo Laurenti, spoke about the European financial crisis and what it means for American business partners. A panel discussion also was held, featuring several business leaders with ties to DuPage County. Discussion was led by Greg Bedalov, president and

CEO of Choose DuPage, and conversation revolved around what the participants anticipate as challenges for their companies in the coming years. Participants included Chuck Allen, CEO of Crowe Horwath; Kevin Giglinto, vice president for strategy and special initiatives for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association; Chris Sears, partner with Ice Miller, LLP; and Scott Hoekman, CFO of UICO, LLC. The program was wrapped up with a presentation from keynote speaker Tom Ricketts, chairman of the Chicago Cubs. Keeping with the event’s theme of looking forward and acting now, Ricketts presented to the audience the plan for renovation and restoration of Wrigley Field. He spoke of the organization’s goals to develop Wrigley Field as a friendly place for families and fans, to make the organization a good neighbor to the city of Chicago and people living near the ballpark and to foster strong athletic opportunities for the ball club. “There are so may people who will benefit so much from this project,” he said.

Downers Grove business featured on FOX reality TV show By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Whether it’s good or bad publicity, giving the business reigns to employees and letting them decide whether their co-workers should be fired, docked pay or disciplined in front of reality TV cameras is bound to draw attention. That’s what Dema Barakat, founder and president of Velocity Merchant Systems in Downers Grove, did in the winter. FOX TV cameras filmed the business over the course of a week in December, the results of which is the premiere

How to tune in What: “Does Someone Have To Go?” When: 8 p.m. May 23 Where: FOX TV

episode of FOX’s new reality show “Does Someone have to Go?” airing nationally May 23. Inviting cameras provided a shakeup for employees, although Barakat said she didn’t think the office had a “toxic” environment before the show, just the gamut of typical inter-office problems. “Our company has grown tremendously,” she said.

“With every company, there are growing pains.” During the show, all employees’ salaries are made transparent, and co-workers talk candidly about each other before deciding whether anyone should be fired, docked in pay or even sent to receive anger management. Barakat said there was tension in the office when the cameras left, especially over salaries. “I had a meeting with everyone after the show [filmed],” she said. “I said, ‘This is nothing personal; this is to help the business grow, to make you guys stronger as a team and make tough

decisions.’” She said the experience gave some workers a new perspective on their jobs. “It just allowed people to take a step back and realize if they’re passionate about what they do,” she said. Barakat and FOX representatives would not say if anyone at VMS was fired as a result of the show. The series devotes two episodes to each of three businesses it profiles in its inaugural season. Barakat said she incorporated VMS when she was 21. The business installs credit card processing hardware and software at new businesses. Sixteen years later, the

multi-million dollar company has about 85 employees, she said. After the show filmed, VMS’s revenues have continued to grow, and she thinks the publicity on a national television series should help further grow the business’s profile. But she was noticeably nervous with how the publicity might be received by some. “I care about my business like I do my … child,” she said. “It’s not about the money or being wealthy. It’s about continuing to watch this baby grow. So I’m hoping for the best. I’d be devastated if anything bad happened.”

Restaurant reviews

Get more than you’d expect at Trademark Tavern LOMBARD – After looking at the brick exterior and gently sloping roof of the Trademark Tavern, first-time visitors might assume that what they’ll find inside is a cramped, dark space unsuitable for claustrophobes. On the contrary, the interior features a high-ceilinged main room with comfortable tables spaced generously, and a classic-style bar along one wall. And with a name that features the word “tavern,” one might expect standard pub fare, but the cooks here have quite a few tricks up their sleeves. My dining companion and I chose initially to sit in the attractive outdoor seating area, since it was a warm spring evening. But as soon as the sun ducked below the horizon, the temperature dropped quickly, and we asked to be re-seated inside. We noticed right away the appetizer menu had some interesting choices, such as Reuben rolls, bacon-wrapped Cajun shrimp and lamb chop

lollipops. We went with the lamb chops and were rewarded with tasty morsels still on the bone, drizzled with a wonderful marinade and served with a tangy chimichurri sauce on the side. The meat was tender and tasty on its own, but enhanced nicely by the sauce. For the entree, my companion was a little more adventurous than I, opting for the cashew-encrusted tilapia, which comes with beurre blanc sauce, sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes.

Travel clubs’ adventures forge friendships By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com Two inveterate sightseers have launched travel clubs that are opening up the world – whether it’s Midwest attractions or European dream trips and beyond. “We got the idea because I had no one to travel with,” says Suzanne Venecek of Downers Grove, who with Janet Nawrocki of New Lenox cofounded Adventures, Travel and Social Club, as well as Gutsy Gal Pals. It’s more fun to travel as a group of friends, says Nawrocki, who notes you also avoid the singles supplement fee, and you have a compatible roommate you know instead of relying on the luck of the draw with tour company pairings. “We bring travelers together, so they don’t run into the

situation [of missing out because] of a friend who doesn’t want to go or has been to where you want to go, or who can’t afford it this year,” Nawrocki says. The two groups already number almost 400 members, and 10 recently returned from a river cruise in southern France led by the club founders. Social events are at the heart of both groups, says

Venecek, who defines the target audiences. The Adventures group is co-ed and for any age range, and features more active events such as biking and hiking. Gutsy Gals is for women 45 and older, highlighting cultural events, dinners and neighborhood walks. “When you stop working, you have to recreate yourself,” Venecek says. “Life stops as you knew it, and you have to

make a new life for yourself. The older one is, the harder it is to meet new friends. This is a very safe way to do it.” Social events have taken travel buffs to plays and dinners in Lombard, Wheaton and Downers Grove, as well as activities in Oak Park and Chicago. Shorter domestic getaways, in addition to overseas adventures, are in the works. Describing the recent French river cruise, Nawrocki says, “One little town … was more charming than the one we’d been to. I’d like to do it again.” She’ll lead an Italian trip this fall. Currently being booked is an excursion to Prague combined with a Danube river cruise late next March; a 10 percent discount is offered people who sign up by May 31. Peru’s Machu Picchu,

“We’re just very well traveled. My specialty is Europe.” Janet Nawrocki Cofounder of Adventures, Travel and Social Club Spain and the Black Sea are future destinations. “We’re not travel agents,” says Nawrocki, who has traveled to Europe two or three times annually for 19 years. “We’re just very well traveled. My specialty is Europe. We’ve used so many companies between us, we know which ones are the good ones [and best] value.

Coping with seasonal allergies T

he season of allergy-induced sniffles and other complications is right around the corner. If you are one of the millions of people affected by seasonal allergies that lead to nasal swelling, sneezing, watery eyes, and a scratchy throat, you may not be eagerly anticipating the warmer weather as much as others. Allergy research is ongoing, and in the future doctors may be able to prevent allergic reactions from occurring rather than treating the symptoms that ensue. Until then, you will have to work with the remedies that currently exist. These remedies include antihistamines, which can cause dangerous interactions with other medications and may cause drowsiness. These side effects can be dangerous for use in seniors. Consider these other options instead.

• Drink plenty of ﬂuids. Although liquids can’t wash the allergens out of your system, water, juice and clear broths can help loosen congestion. Hot liquids can soothe inflamed membranes in the nose and throat. • Avoid allergens as much as possible. Check weather reports for the levels of particulates in the air and stay indoors if they are high. Keep away from tall grasses and places with a lot of foliage. • Use the air conditioning. Rather than keeping the windows wide open, use an air conditioner and dehumidifier to filter the air coming inside of the house and ensuring it is cool and dry. • Head to the beach. If you want to spend time outdoors, areas by the ocean will have pollen counts that are much lower than in mountainous areas. • Dry clothes indoors. Line-dried clothes may smell fresh, but they can bring molds and pollens indoors and exacerbate allergies. • Shower frequently. After being outdoors, take a shower to rinse off any allergens clinging to hair and skin. • Check with a doctor. Before mixing allergy medications with any prescriptions you are taking, ensure that they are safe to mix. If your doctor is unavailable, consult with a pharmacist about drug interactions.

And at the Altenheim, you’ll be able to protect it with rent that is reasonable. But the Altenheim is so much more...

s the Baby Boomer generation enters retirement age, there has been an increased demand for services that meet the needs of this segment of the population. Amenities such as active-living communities that boast top-of-the-line features typically are the first things individuals seek. Age-restricted, 55-plus communities cater to what the name implies – people who are age 55 and older. However, these home developments are a far cry from what they used to be. Now they rival some of the best resorts in their features and are designed entirely around the needs of a group of active, amenity driven people. Plus, considering there now are more Americans age 65 and older than in any other point in history, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, developers understand the benefits of catering to this group of people. Therefore, there are more high-end active-living communities now than ever before. There are many choices with regard to active adult retirement communities. Many of these developments boast everything from detached, single-family homes to villas to condominiums. These residences are built with the active adult in mind. Here are some of the benefits that these communities boast. Community companionship Due to the age-restricted nature of active-adult-home-developments, the residents are all in a similar age range, and may have similar interests. At a time in life when friendships from work may waver due to retirement, and older children may be busy with their own lives, these communities can help foster new friendships. Whether through community-sponsored activities or just through home proximity, residents can enjoy one another’s company and never worry about feeling lonely into their retirement years. Low- or no-maintenance living One of the biggest attractions to active-adult living is that these homes are built to provide worry-free living. Included in the home ownership fees are provisions to take care of much of the interior and exterior maintenance. That means should a pipe leak or the lawn needs mowing, maintenance staff rather than the homeowner will handle the problem. This peace of mind enables residents to pursue interests rather than worry about the upkeep on their homes. Many times the community is expertly manicured, helping to create an aesthetically pleasing environment. Activity-based fun Many communities build activities into the living plan. Therefore, there may be a workout room, the game center, exercise classes, movie nights, and many other attractions to keep residents busy. Active-adult communities may be similar to all-inclusive vacations and cruises in that they have their own activities coordinator on staff. Should residents prefer solo activities, the property on which these homes are built are often created with recreation in mind. There can be walking paths or areas for cycling. Pools and spas are often part of the living package as well. Security Individuals who are no longer bogged down with work requirements may be more likely to take vacations or go visiting. In a traditional home, there may be worries about leaving the home unattended for a period of time. However, in 55-plus residences, homes may be in gated communities or have security patrols. Also, the sheer number of homes in a townhouse-style building can camouflage homes that are currently vacant, easing the minds of those who are planning on going away. Concierge services Some of the more exclusive communities may have staff who can help with everything from booking vacations to helping with moving details. There also are developments that offer transitional homes, and someone may be available to help with the transition from an active-style home to one that has nursing staff or assisted living offerings at that time in life when it is needed. Active-living communities offer many of the features that recently retired people seek in homes that do not compromise on amenities. Individuals who are looking for comfortable, maintenance-free homes often seek out these developments for the convenience and services they offer.

• Blueberries:

• Fatty ish:

Blueberries may help prevent the onset of neck and mouth cancers. That’s because blueberries are rich in antioxidants, which the American Institute for Cancer Research notes can protect cells from being damaged.

Fatty fish, including salmon, that is full of omega-3 fatty acids has been linked to a host medical benefits, including lowering a person’s risk of cancer and heart disease.

• Tomatoes:

• Whole grains:

• Coffee:

Tomatoes are loaded with lycopene, a carotenoid that numerous studies have indicated can reduce incidence of cancer, cardiovascular disease and macular degeneration. These studies have based their findings on tomato consumption and not on the use of lycopene supplements, which may or may not be effective at preventing cancer. Cooked tomatoes can improve the body’s ability to absorb lycopene, further enhancing its ability to protect the body against cancer.

Whole grains can help men and women control their weight, as they are lower in calories than more traditional options. But studies have shown that whole grains, which can be found in whole-grain and whole-wheat pastas, can also reduce your risk of colon cancer.

Though studies about the efficacy of coffee as a potentially preventive agent against cancer are ongoing, some studies have found that both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee can lower a person’s risk of developing colon, endometrial and prostate cancer.

ancer is a potentially deadly disease that does not discriminate based on a person’s age, sex, ethnicity, or social status. Though anyone can get cancer, the National Institute on Aging notes that a person’s risk of getting cancer increases with age, even if that person has no family history of cancer. That reality highlights the importance of routine cancer screenings for men and women age 50 and older. While screenings are an important part of detecting and treating cancer, those over 50 should know they can take certain measures to possibly prevent the onset of cancer. For example, including certain foods as part of a regular diet may be effective at preventing cancer. Though there’s no way to guarantee a person won’t get cancer, the following foods may help lower the risk.

How To Get Rid Of Knee Pain Job hunting tips for Once And For All... Without men and women over 50 Drugs, Shots or Surgery T Now, in Glen Ellyn, IL, one doctor is helping local residents with knee pain live more active, pain-free lives.

Living with knee pain can feel like a crippling experience. Do you have any of the following conditions? • Arthritis • Knee Pain • Cartilage damage • ‘Bone-on-bone’ • Tendonitis • Bursitis • Crunching and popping sounds Let’s face it, your knees aren’t as young as they used to be, and playing with the kids or grandkids isn’t any easier either. Maybe your knee pain keeps you from walking short distances or playing golf like you used to. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your knee hurts and the pain just won’t go away! If you’re suffering from these conditions, a new breakthrough in medical technology may completely eliminate your pain and help restore normal function to your knees. Finally, You Have An Option Other Than Drugs or Surgery New research in a treatment called low level laser therapy, or Cold Laser, is having a profound effect on patients suffering with knee pain. Unlike the cutting type of laser seen in movies and used in medical procedures, the cold laser penetrates the surface of the skin with no heating effect or damage. Cold laser therapy has been tested for 40 years, had over 2000 papers published on it, and been shown to aid in damaged tissue regeneration, decrease inflammation, relieve pain and boost the immune system. This means that there is a good chance cold laser therapy could be your knee pain solution, allowing you to live a more active lifestyle. Professional athletes like Tiger Woods and team members of the New England Patriots rely upon cold laser therapy to treat their sports-related injuries. These guys use the cold laser for one reason only… It Promotes Rapid Healing Of The Injured Tissues. Before the FDA would clear the cold laser for human use, they wanted to see proof that it worked. This led to two landmark studies. The first study showed that patients who had cold laser therapy had 53% better improvement than those who had a placebo. The second study showed patients who used the laser therapy had less pain and more range of motion days after treatment. If the cold laser can help these patients, it can help you too. Could This Non-Invasive, Natural Treatment Be The Answer To Your Knee Pain? For the first 25 callers only, I’m running a very special offer where you can find out if you are a candidate for cold laser therapy.

CALL TODAY TO SCHEDULE YOUR

What does this offer include? Everything I normally do in my “Knee Pain Evaluation”. Just be one of the first 25 callers and here’s what you’ll get… • An in-depth consultation about your problem where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case. • A complete neuromuscular examination. • A full set of specialized x-rays to determine if arthritis is contributing to your pain. • A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray indings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free. • You’ll see everything irst hand and ind out if this amazing treatment will be your pain solution, like it has been for so many other patients. The first 25 callers only can get everything I’ve listed here for only $35*. The normal price for this type of evaluation including x-rays is $250, so you’re saving a considerable amount by taking me up on this offer. Remember what it was like before you had knee problems; when you were pain free and could enjoy everything life had to offer. It can be that way again. Don’t neglect your problem any longer – don’t wait until it’s too late. Here’s what to do now: Due to the expected demand for this special offer, I urge you to call our office at once. The phone number is 630-858-9900. Call today and we can get started with your consultation, exam and x-rays as soon as there’s an opening in the schedule. Don’t miss this valuable offer. Be one of the first 25 callers and tell the receptionist you’d like to come in for the Knee Evaluation. Sincerely, Dr. Susan Kelenyi, D.C. P.S. Now you might be wondering… “Is this safe? Are there any side effects or dangers to this?” The FDA cleared the first cold laser in 2002. This was after their study found 76% improvement in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Their only warning – don’t shine it in your eyes. Of course at our office, the laser is never anywhere near your eyes and we’ll give you a comfortable pair of goggles for safety. Don’t wait and let your knee problems get worse, disabling you for life. Take me up on my offer and call today 630-858-9900.

hough the job market has improved in recent years, many men and women are still out of work. Perhaps most troubling, many of those people are age 55 and older who are fearful of an uncertain future and a job market where they are seemingly overlooked. According to a 2012 study from the Government Accountability Office, the number of long-term unemployed people age 55 and older has more than doubled since the onset of the recession. For many unemployed men and women over the age of 50, the harsh reality of a job market that does not value their experience or skill set is deeply disconcerting. But as difficult as the job market can be for older men and women, it’s not impossible to find a job, though it might take some ingenuity and perseverance. • Don’t limit yourself. Those who were victimized by layoffs should expand their job searches to more than just their previous fields. While it’s definitely a good idea to maintain contacts in your old field and routinely look for openings in that field, it’s also a good idea to examine your skill set and experience and find a new field where these things apply. Chances are your years of experience are transferable to many fields, and redirecting your job hunting efforts to a new line of work might yield opportunities you are not even aware existed. • Embrace the 21st century. Many companies or organizations mistakenly assume that the digital age has passed older workers by. Workers in their 50s might be unfairly categorized as dinosaurs with no grasp of mobile technology or the latest software programs. But those applicants who can demonstrate their proficiency in the latest technologies, including mobile technologies like smartphones, tablets and social media, can put themselves above fellow applicants. • Start working. If you are mired in long-term unemployment and spend every day at home, get out and start working. Volunteering is a great way to lift your spirits, network with other professionals and maybe even learn of employment opportunities you won’t hear about on the couch at home. And volunteering, be it with a charity or a professional organization, is a great way to revive your resume and continue to add accomplishments despite your unemployment. • Emphasize your age. Many unemployed men and women over 50 tend to look at their age as a hindrance that is preventing them from finding gainful employment. But your age can be an advantage, as many organizations find older applicants are more reliable and need less time to adapt than younger applicants with less experience. When emphasizing your age as a positive, don’t focus on job titles, which many other unemployed men and women your age likely highlight on their resumes. Instead, focus on specific achievements and accomplishments and reduce the emphasis you place on job tasks. Achievements tend to stand out above titles, and men and women over 50 likely have achieved more than younger, less experienced applicants. • Think small. Smaller companies wherein employees tend to wear many hats are more likely to value experience than a larger company. By the age of 50, many professionals have vast experience in a host of different positions, and that versatility is likely to appeal to a small company looking for employees who can multitask. Finding a job after the age of 50 isn’t easy. But taking a broad approach and emphasizing as opposed to downplaying your experience might help you stand out among a crowded pool of applicants.

DOWNERS GROVE – At this point, Elaine Heflin has her postgame routine down to a science. “Resting, stretching, heating and icing, working my hardest out there and then working out on the side,” the Downers Grove North’s senior pitcher said. Pregame, postgame or during the game, everything seems to be working for Heflin. The University of Illinois-Chicago recruit has a perfect game, three no-hitters and two one-hitters in a season in which she wasn’t supposed to get this much work. Heflin and Dale Ryndak were slated to split pitching duties this season, but when Ryndak was lost for the season with an ACL injury, Heflin assumed the role of No. 1 pitcher. The icing, heating, resting and stretching has helped her deal with the usual aches that come along with pitching, but at first, the transition was tough. “At first it was really hard, especially mentally, that I was the only one pitching,” Heflin said. “But after all the games, physically and mentally I know I can do it and I have my team behind me.” Great command and a deep arsenal of pitches are part of what makes her so successful. “She’s so strong and she’s in such good shape. She’s intimidating,” North coach Mark Magro said. “She’s got great stuff, overpowering stuff, and she’s very smart between the ears, too. She’s been phenomenal.” Even when pitching in less

She’s as good as we have seen and will see all year,” Downers

South coach Ron Havelka said. “She’s big time. I can see how she got all her no-hitters and all her strikeouts. She’s tough.” The weather this spring led to several canceled games for North and in turn has led to a condensed schedule now that the weather has finally turned.

In the face of that, Heflin has remained dominant, which comes as a little bit of a surprise, even to her. “I am a little surprised, especially because we’ve had so many games, but I just go out there and try my hardest,” she said.

BASEBALL PLAYOFF PREVIEW

No. 1 Mustangs continue hot streak behind hitting, pitching By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com

Downers Grove South Class: 4A Sectional seed: No. 1 Regional: Hinsdale Central Regional opener: 4 p.m. May 22 vs. No. 16 Bolingbrook/No. 18 Plainfield East What to watch: If the goal is to enter the playoffs playing the best ball of the season, then Downers Grove South certainly is right there. The Mustangs have won nine of their last 12 games, and one of the other three was a tie in a game that was called because of darkness. The Mustangs have also scored six or more runs in all but two games in May (as of Sunday). They have swung the bats well, but there is more to fear for playoff opponents. “We’ve been getting a lot of quality games out of these guys, and it’s different guys each day,” South coach Darren Orel said. “It’s not the same guys always stepping up, and that’s a good thing. It shows

some depth.” The depth extends beyond the batter’s box. Pitchers Brian Glowicki, Zach Burdi and Danny Mayer are Division I recruits, Zach Taylor has been a solid starter all season, and Nick Alfini is a stopper out of the bullpen. Burdi and Mayer also happen to be sluggers at the plate, and they’ve produced all season. With a win in the regional semifinal, the Mustangs will move on to face either Waubonsie Valley or Hinsdale Central in the championship game at 11 a.m. May 25. South topped Central, 5-2, on May 1.

Downers Grove North Class: 4A Sectional seed: No. 4 Regional: Oswego Regional opener: 4:15 p.m. May 22 vs. No. 13 Plainfield Central/No. 20 Oswego What to watch: Downers Grove North hasn’t played either of its potential playoff opponents this season, but that doesn’t bother coach Chad Isaacson. All season long, he’s said he’s most worried

about his team and the next game. Nothing else matters. “Every game bears importance as far as how we go about our business, but we don’t look any farther than who we’re playing today,” Isaacson said. The Trojans have gone 3-5 in their past eight games dating to May 2, but they have shown throughout the season that they have the winning formula. The lineup has been consistent all spring, and conference starting pitchers Troy Southard, Mike O’Malley and Lucas Fisher kept North in contention in the West Suburban Silver race. No matter who the Trojans face, that team should be prepared for a battle. “We’ve continued to fight,” Isaacson said. “We’ve been down in games and we’ve continued to come back.” If North can win the playoff opener, it would move on to the regional championship game at 10 a.m. May 25, where No. 5 seed Hinsdale South likely would be the opponent.

SOFTBALL PLAYOFF PREVIEW

Highly touted Trojans look to avoid another regional upset Downers Grove South

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com

Downers Grove North Class: 4A Sectional seed: No. 3 Regional: Downers Grove North Regional opener: 4:30 p.m. Tuesday vs. No. 14 Plainfield North/ No. 19 Oswego What to watch: Based on the sectional seeding, the Trojans are the top team in the regional and they have home-field advantage. Good luck getting North coach Mark Magro or his team to talk about the playoffs ahead of time, however. “We’re not going to look ahead,” Magro said. “We’ve been the No. 1 seed or the No. 2 seed the last couple years, and look where that got us. I tell the girls, we can beat anybody on any given day, but anybody can beat us, too. No game is bigger than the one we’re playing today.” Last year the Trojans fell in the

Two years ago the same thing happened as a No. 1 seed. They scored three runs in those two games so even though they have a dominant pitcher in Elaine Heflin, Magro is hoping the

Trojans can come through with the bats. The lumber seemed to warm up over the weekend when North topped Lemont, 6-1. “I’m hoping we’re hitting our stride at the right time,” Magro said.

Class: 4A Sectional seed: No. 9 Regional: Batavia Regional opener: 4:30 p.m. May 22 vs. No. 8 Naperville North What to watch: After starting the season 5-5, the Mustangs have lost just three times since April 13. South’s younger players have improved and have been thrown into the fire of a West Suburban Gold race. In short, Naperville North will face a very different Downers South team than the one it defeated, 9-6, on April 9. “Hopefully we’ll look better,” South coach Ron Havelka said. “I want to say we’re a better team than the one that lost, 9-6, but I think all teams are kind of in the same boat. I’m sure they’re better, too.” The Mustangs took two from West Suburban Gold-rival Leyden on Saturday to keep surging ahead. They won both games by

10 runs, underscoring a major strength – the bats. South also has another ace up the sleeve, or rather two. Senior Kelly Schmitt and freshman Caroline Hedgcock give the Mustangs a solid one-two punch inside the pitcher’s circle, a luxury not every team possess. Both have started, won games and pitched in pressure situations this season. In Havelka’s experience, playoff success comes down to a couple of factors. “You’ve got to be playing really well, that’s the key,” the coach said. “And you have to be playing really good defense. People say one bad game you’re out, but really it’s more like one bad inning and you can be done.” If South can top Naperville North, it would move on to the regional championship game at 11 a.m. May 25. The likely foe would be No. 1-seed Naperville Central, which faces either Batavia or Glenbard East in its regional opener.

Downers Grove South’s Caitlyn Daly (bottom) slides hard into Downers Grove North third baseman Brittany Nagy in a crosstown night softball game in the rain Thursday at McCollum Park. Andree’s single to deep left field to tie the score, but the worsening weather and deteriorating field conditions led to the home plate ump calling the game. North pitcher Elaine Heflin was cruising with a

perfect game through three innings, but two walks, a single and a groundout allowed South to score two runs in the fourth, tying the game 2-2. “It was very hard to not slip on the mound and not let the ball slip,” Heflin said.

fortunately the rain came.” Thursday’s results did little to derail either team. South solidified its hold on first place in the West Suburban Gold with Saturday’ doubleheader sweep of conference-foe Leyden. The Mustangs won, 12-2 and 10-0, at Bandits Stadium in Rosemont. In the opener, Andree was 3-for-5 with a double and three RBIs. Hedgcock had two triples out of her three hits and scored two runs with three RBIs to help Kelly Schmitt pick up the pitching win. In Game 2, Hedgcock pitched a shutout and helped her own cause with two hits and two RBIs as South improved to 15-8 overall and 9-0 in WSG play. The Trojans swept a varsity-JV doubleheader Saturday against Lemont, winning the varsity game, 6-1. Heflin pitched and yielded just three hits while striking out nine and North improved to 19-7 overall.

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA DOWNERS GROVE – After Downers Grove North baseball lost, 8-2, in the first game of Saturday’s West Suburban Silver doubleheader against Hinsdale Central, Mike O’Malley’s sparkling performance on the mound helped North take the second game, 5-1. O’Malley carried a no-hitter into the fifth and kept the Red Devils off the scoreboard until they plated an unearned run in the top of the sixth inning. The Trojans (18-7 overMike all and 12-5 in the WSS priO’Malley or to Monday’s series finale against Central) broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fourth inning. With one out, Troy Southard singled and James Sheldon followed with a double, and both came home on Jack Goergen’s single to center field. Goergen later scored on a passed ball with Emil Baftirovski at the plate. North went up, 4-0, in the fifth. Joe Provenzano singled, went to third on a

The Trojans tacked on an insurance run in the sixth with Connor Kopach scoring on an error. In the Game 1 loss Saturday, Baftirovski and David Henson scored single runs in the third and fourth innings, respectively, but North mustered just four hits (Kopach, Southard, Henson and Provenzano). After closing the Central series Monday in Hinsdale, the Trojans still had a busy week planned. They were slated to travel to Providence at 4:30 p.m. today, host Hinsdale South at 4:30 p.m. Thursday for senior night, face host Glenbard North Saturday and host Naperville Central at 4:30 p.m. Monday before opening postseason play May 22.

DOWNERS GROVE – After a rough start to last week, Downers Grove South’s baseball team closed it on a high note Saturday with an 8-1 win over host Mundelein. The Mustangs (25-5) jumped out to a 5-0 lead after two innings. Zach Burdi hit a two-run home run in the first, Joe Becht had a two-run double in the second and Danny Mayer plated Burdi with a double later in the inning. Brian Glowicki worked 1-2-3 innings in the second, fourth and sixth to earn the pitching win for South. He allowed just one earned run on five hits and struck out seven while walking none. When Mundelein made it a 5-1 game in the bottom of the third, Burdi singled home Kevin Raher in the top of the fourth, and the Mustangs put the game away with a pair of runs in the seventh.

DOWNERS GROVE – It seems Mother Nature has it in for the high school softball teams in Downers Grove. For the second year in a row, weather cut short a primetime showdown between the varsity teams from Downers Grove North and Downers Grove South. Last year it was lightning, and this year a steadily intensifying rain ended things after 4 2/3 innings Thursday night under the lights at McCollum Park. “Every year it’s like this. Last year lightning, this time this terrible weather,” South coach Ron Havelka said. “I wish we could have got one more batter.” With the game knotted at 3-3, the Mustangs had the bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning. They had already scored a run in the frame on Jess

“Especially with his strike zone it was very tough to get strikes and not walk them, but everyone was in the same position.” Kelsey Gockman plated Ali Woitovich with an unearned run in the Trojans’ half of the first, and they took a 2-0 lead when Brittany Claver doubled moments after Kaylee Newstrom doubled in the fourth. Maddie Wojciak scored on a wild pitch in the fifth to put North ahead 3-2. Despite the conditions, a sizable crowd was on hand to watch the game. Next year, the crosstown classic just might have a new venue, if only to avoid the weather that has factored into things the past two years. “We just have bad luck playing them,” North coach Mark Magro said. “I told Ron, ‘Next year, let’s go play in a dome.’ We had a nice crowd out here and I thought we were going to get it in, but un-

Ridderhoff, relays guide 7 North entries to girls state track SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LOCKPORT - Rebecca Ridderhoff nabbed two solo state berths and two relay teams took top honors as Downers Grove North’s girls track and field team finished second at the Class 3A Lockport sectional Friday. The Trojans earned seven berths to the state meet, which begins Friday at O’Brien Stadium at Eastern Illinois University. Ridderhoff won the sectional championship in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 15.82 seconds and she also was second in the 300 hurdles in 47.33. The Trojans bookended the track portion of the meet with strong showings. They won the 4x800 relay at the beginning of the meet with a time of 9:30.86, then closed the meet with a win in the 4x400 relay with a mark of 4:04.03. North also had a triumvirate of narrow runner-up finishes. Freshman Grace Maletich had the closest call, clocking a 5:17.50 in the 1,600 run and finishing second by just four-tenths of a second. Junior Stephanie Urbancik finished the 400 dash in 59.47, a half second back of the winner, and junior Meghan Bonfield’s time of 2.22.87 in the 800 run was eight-tenths back of the winner.

be devoid of drama. Sophomore Abby Kargol and junior Haley Albers made the finish of the 3,200 run interesting. The Downers Grove South duo kept pace with Sandburg’s Carly Krull throughout the race, and, in a photo finish, Kargol was second with a time of 11:03.40; Krull won in 11:03.35. Albers was a fraction of a second back in third place with a time of 11:04.31. Kargol and Albers, along with several other teammates, will make their way to the Class 3A state meet, which begins at Eastern Illinois University. The Mustangs avoided any drama in the 4x200 relay, where they won by two seconds with a time of 1:45.07. South earned a state berth in the 4x800 relay, where it finished second in 9:33.38. Senior Jada Franklin punched a solo spot at the state meet in the triple jump, where her mark of 35 feet, 4.25 inches was good for second place.

8PREP ROUNDUP

Field events power Mustangs to boys track conference title BOYS TRACK & FIELD Downers Grove South The Mustangs seemingly had a fast lane to the top of the podium, particularly in field events, as they scored 169 points and cruised to the title at the West Suburban Gold meet at Hinsdale South on Friday. South was first in four of the six field events. Luke Lathrop won shot put with a throw of 47 feet, 7.5 inches. Rocco Rasnic topped discus (146-10), Paul Engo won high jump (5-10) and Jalen Lewis took long jump (20-1.5).

dash in 22.11. Jacob Amiri won the 800 run in 1:59.03 and was second in the 1,600 run (4:30.85) by a fraction of a second. The Mustangs will look to lock up state meet berths when they compete in the Class 3A Downers Grove North sectional at 4 p.m. Friday. Downers Grove North Buoyed by Ben Eaton’s winning time of 4:25.61 in the 1,600-meter run, the Trojans tallied 56 points and finished fifth at the West Suburban Silver meet hosted by Oak Park-River Forest.

REALTOR’S UNSELFISH ACT ACKNOWLEDGED The April 18th rain storm did unbelievable damage to Perma-Seal’s Downers Grove office. An enormous number of people have been

affected by this devastating situation. Many volunteers and thoughtful residents came to the aid of fellow neighbors and businesses affected by this horrific storm. Platinum Partners Realtors is proud of the kindness shown by one of their agents, Patty Wardlow. Managing broker, Arlene Urban, received an email from Perma-Seal acknowledging Patty’s thoughtfulness and generosity. She brought out dozens of pizzas to help feed their team while they were diligently working at cleaning up and still assisting distressed customers. Mrs. Urban also learned that Patty was bringing pizzas and helping various Downers Grove residents who were flooded out during the storm.
