Downers Grove’s Eagle Restaurant was inducted into the Vienna Beef Hot Dog Hall of Fame May 7.

Here, owner Lee Zografos (from left), his son and partner, John, and Vienna’s Craig Campbell and Bob Schwartz share a laugh.

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

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, 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.

of Fame plaque to Zografos on May 7, nearby resident Joan Konecny stopped in for a hot dog and fries.

Konecny said she’s been stopping by for the gyros, Greek salad and dogs – she likes hers without the pickle – since it opened.

“The people are friendly; they have a smile,” she said.

Schwartz, who started the Hall of Fame seven years ago, is the author of “Never Put 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 Police, D201 team up for Alcohol Awareness Month WESTMONT – As part of a statewide effort to change the behavior of adults who sell or provide alcohol to minors, the Westmont Police Department, Community Unit School District 201, Operation Snowball, Inc. and the Illinois Liquor Commission will participate

this month in project “Your Actions Matter.”

The program, which is timed to coincide near or with Alcohol Awareness Month, will involve the posting of paraphernalia on alcoholic beverages of participating businesses.

This information is intended to send a strong reminder that providing alcohol to minor is

illegal, unhealthy and unacceptable, according to a news release.

Participating businesses will receive and post informational signs reminding sellers and customers of the legal age requirements for buying alcoholic beverages.

Members of the Westmont Police Department, volunteers

from Westmont Citizen’s Police Academy Alumni and student volunteers from Community School District 201 Operation Snowball will visit the businesses that hold liquor licenses.

“Allowing minors to consume alcohol in your home or any other place under your control carries the same penalties

under the law as furnishing liquor, even if you don’t supply the alcohol,” Westmont Police Chief Thomas Mulhearn said in a release.

For information, call Det. Michael Weibler at 630-981-6373 or email mweibler@westmont .il.gov.

spend the whole day taking care of the puppy before I had to euthanize it. I still remember her very well.

“I remember being like, ‘OK, if I can get through that, I’ll be OK to get through being a vet.’”

Doemland graduated from Augustana College with a bachelor’s degree in biology in 2010 and was accepted into the University of Illinois’ Veterinary Medicine doctoral program, one of 28 such schools in the country.

This spring, her third year of the four-year program, she was honored by the school

with the Dr. J.E. Salsbury Scholarship award. The award is given for initiative, perseverance and potential for leadership.

Doemland said her experience with Keba taught her that you can’t fix every problem.

“You just have to know to keep trying your best next time,” she said.

After graduation, she said she wants to work in a clinic that treats cats, dogs and other pets. She hopes she never has to turn anyone’s animal away.

That includes raccoons, squirrels and other small neighbor-

hood animals in need of help that occasionally are brought into pet clinics, she said.

“Most the time you try to look on the bright side,” she said. “What can you do to help the animal?”

She is putting that attitude to work this spring during her first round of clinical rotations. This summer, she will take a rotation in China, learning alternative medicine including acupuncture and herbal medicine.

“Not many clinics do it, but I think it’s a good option if [we] run out of options,” she said.

St. Joseph’s Creek focus of Saturday cleanup efforts in Westmont

By RYAN TERRELL rterrell@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – Refrigerators, large branches and old bicycles are expected to be among items pulled from St. Joseph’s Creek in Westmont

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.

WESTMONT – Emily Doemland always has loved animals – she was the classmate who would have zookeepers bring animals to her birthday parties – and her family always had pets growing up.

When she got to Downers Grove South High School, the Westmont native discovered how much she liked her science classes, and a career goal became obvious – veterinarian.

But would she be able to

stomach the heartbreaking cases?

Doemland told a story of participating in a clinic in high school during which a young pit bull named Emily Keba was deterDoemland mined to have the parvo virus, which can be fatal but is treatable. The college-aged owners did not have the money to pay for the expensive treatment, she said.

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.

Q & A with the Hearing Doctor Q: What exactly is Better Hearing & Speech month?

A: It is an event to promote awareness for hearing and hearing loss, which oten is referred to as the “invisible ailment”.

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.

Village calls meeting in wake of flooding SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WESTMONT – The village of Westmont is planning a community meeting about the recent severe weather incident and resulting flood issues for May 22.

At 7 p.m., representatives from DuPage County, local sanitary districts and ComEd will be invited to talk about the incident and the response at village hall, 31 W. Quincy St. Village staff also will present information about the flood-response effort. The meeting also will include time for resident feedback so that information and data can be collected and addressed.

“We want to thank all of the community volunteers and staff for their excellent teamwork and professionalism in responding to this situation,” Police Chief Tom Mulhearn said in the news release. “In addition to our immediate flood-response effort, we mobilized more than 30 volunteers to assist with distributing important flood-related information throughout the entire community. We thank everyone for rising to the challenge in our effort to serve our citizens.”

Residents affected by the April 18 floods also can apply for federal funds to help 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.

FEMA has been conducting damage assessment surveys throughout Illinois, and more assistance could be made 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 May 9 letter addressed to the president, state representatives expressed that 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 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!

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 say large diesel trucks and other construction equipment rum-

ble 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.

While taking suggestions from the group of about 25 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

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 COMMUNITY cemeteries.

VOICE Oak Hill and Oak Crest cemeteries are between Lois Glenview and Howard Sterba streets, in unincorporated 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.

To the Editor: I am a resident of Oakwood in Westmont, where last year, many trees were cut down due to disease.

This year, they are replacing trees on the parkways.

I understand there is a village ordinance preventing the placement of certain plantings on the parkway if they exceed certain height or width. I received a “tree” on my parkway – a pine tree that has been trimmed to look like a log with a ball of pine needles perched on its top.

The guy planting the tree told me what a wonderful tree it was and would be.

Yesterday morning, backing out of my driveway, I could not see around this wonderful mass of plant life to see if there were cars coming.

They planted several of these, plus bush-like plants as well.

What happened to the ordinance and/or safety? Did the village get such a deal they don’t care about safety?

measure of a property’s value, which determines how much the owner pays in property taxes, will be frozen. The current EAV in the proposed TIF District is $38,718,984. The village estimates that EAV within the TIF District at the end of 23 years will be $343,370,223 as a result of new development.

However, the district will not have access to the new EAV generated by the TIF until 2036.

For the past 30 years, the district has had access to new EAV, which has assisted the district in maintaining the teaching and learning environment this community has come to expect. Not receiving tax revenue based on the increased EAV for 23 years has the potential to negatively impact the district’s educational programs and facilities, and as fiscal stewards of this district, this is simply not acceptable.

Over the past several years, District 201’s Board of Education and administration have brought creative leadership, innovative programming and updated facilities to our school community. The TIF District, as proposed, could negatively impact the very initiatives that create the unique quality of life our village seeks and make

8NEWS BRIEF Education columnist to speak at Westmont HS WESTMONT – At 7 p.m. Monday, Westmont High School, in conjunction with several other school districts, will host a conference for Advanced Placement teachers and leaders with Jay Mathews as the keynote speaker.

Mathews is an author, education columnist and blogger with the Washington Post.

“Few people have had the impact on secondary education and especially Advanced Placement that Jay Mathews has had,” Westmont High School Principal Jack Baldermann wrote in a news release.

“His book on Escalante was turned into the movie ‘Stand and Deliver’ that put the spotlight on

opening the doors to AP for so many students across the nation,” Baldermann said. “He then spent three years in high schools across the country and wrote ‘Class Struggle: What is Right and Wrong with America’s Best High Schools.’”

Joining keynote speaker Mathews will be “some of the best practitioners and scholars” leading breakout sessions in Advanced Placement Social Studies, English and Argumentative Writing as it pertains to AP across all disciplines, the news release states.

Teachers interested in attending the Monday conference – cost to attend is $125 – should call Baldermann at 708-243-0597.

To the Editor: Illinois’ 7,000 units of government have created multiple layers of inefficiency that place an unnecessary financial burden on taxpayers. In an effort to reduce the size, scope and cost of local government, I have initiated legislation in Springfield that would provide DuPage County with new tools to achieve incremental reform.

Senate Bill 494 would allow county leaders to make the tough choices necessary to eliminate wasteful and redundant layers of government when it has been determined to be in the best interest of taxpayers. A recent assessment of county-appointed agencies revealed many opportunities for shared services, consolidation and in some cases dissolution. These 24 agencies account for nearly $300 million in tax dollars, employ about 900 people

One special nephew, Ron Mattes, checked on her every day, bringing over her favorite treats, and helping her around the house.

We have been greatly blessed by the Lord, to have had such a wonderful mother/grandmother for so long. You will forever be in our hearts and souls, until we are reunited again in Heaven.

to promoting the acceptance of BDSM – sexually deviant bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism.

That’s right. If you are a student who likes to smack people around, some colleges such as Harvard now have groups for you.

He who has eyes to see, let them see. The “logic” of heterophobic, regressive homosexuals is rapidly leading this society down a slippery slope to a more and more aberrant and disordered society.

Anyone who thinks this is progress is deluding him/ herself. Rome didn’t fall in a day. But it did fall.

and provide basic public services such as sanitary, mosquito abatement and street lighting.

Through the assessment, we found examples of obsolete taxing bodies, such as the Timberlake Estates Sanitary District, that had not provided service to residents of unincorporated Downers Grove for nearly 30 years. Despite the fact that the county took over operation of the sanitary district in 1985, the taxing district still appeared on property tax bills with a zero levy.

For two years, I worked with DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and our public works division to obtain a super-majority approval from the residents to eliminate the antiquated district. After obtaining enough support, we filed a petition in court requesting the dissolution of the sanitary district, which recently was approved by a DuPage County judge.

Another unique taxing body is the Century Hills Street Lighting District that maintains the street lights in a subdivision in unincorporated Naperville. The district’s three trustees meet annually to pass a $15,000 levy to pay for the subdivision’s street lights and agree that the responsibilities could easily be transferred to another unit of government that provides similar services. Unfortunately, we do not have the authority to take the necessary steps to consolidate the service with another entity without passage of legislation.

SB494 is essential to our reform agenda as we pursue new ways to reduce the costs of local government and develop a more efficient service model for taxpayers.

I urge residents to contact their state representatives to request their support of SB494. By working together, we can redesign government that truly benefits taxpayers.

Westmont High School students view mock accident before prom SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WESTMONT – Two days before prom, Westmont High School students were able to take an up-close-and-personal look at the risks associated with drinking and driving.

The school’s Students Against Destructive Decisions club teamed up with the Westmont Police and Fire departments for Operation Prom – which included a mock car accident involving a student hit by a drunken driver after prom – on May 2.

The event was put on for the upperclassmen to bring awareness to the dangers of drinking and driving, according to a news release.

“Conducting a presentation of this magnitude made a significant impact on the students who attended,” a news release from the police department stated.

“Our hope is that the youth of our community will continue to make appropriate decisions when they are faced with difficult situations.”

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. Our main focus is to draw people together, so they can travel [and] don’t miss out in their life.”

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.

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.

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.

in conference. The 22 wins tied the 1999 team for second-most in program history.

While clinching conference was a big deal to Cocks and his players, he didn’t open his wallet for Dilly Bars and Blizzards like a Little League coach might have.

“We celebrated a little bit on the field and they deserved it, but that was about it,” Cocks said.

That’s because the conference title was just the first goal on Westmont’s checklist. Next up is winning a regional title, a quest that starts today.

Cocks admitted losing the final two games of the regular season to Manteno and Illiana Christian were a bit of a letdown after the exhilaration of winning conference, but he had an idea of how to use those losses as motivation going forward.

“We weren’t as into it as much as we should have been,” Cocks said.

“After the Illiana game I said, ‘Remember what it feels like to lose a game.

We don’t like this feeling and we have to get it done in the playoffs so we don’t have this feeling again.’”

WESTMONT – It was a big win, but there was no trip to Dairy Queen involved.

When Westmont’s baseball team topped Plano, 10-2, May 8, it clinched the Sentinels’ first Interstate Eight Conference North Division title and their first conference title in baseball since they won the Northeast Conference championship in 1978.

“It feels amazing, it really does,” Westmont coach D.J. Cocks said.

“It’s amazing considering all the competition in our conference. It’s not easy to win conference, not by any means. To come out on top is something we wanted for a long time. The kids believed, they bought into it and they made it happen.”

Against Plano, Andrew Rosol pitched a complete game and allowed only three hits and two runs while walking just one batter as he improved to 2-0 on the mound. Charlie Donovan hit a two-run home run in the ball game, Robert Kokoszka was 2-for-3 with a run and RBI while Jean Pietrzak was 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a walk.

Westmont lost its conference opener to Interstate Eight Conference South Division-foe Wilmington, then won 13 of its next 14 I-8 games to claim the title. The Sentinels had winning streaks of 10 and nine games as they finished the regular season 22-6 overall and 13-3

BASEBALL PLAYOFF PREVIEW

Sentinels ride top seed, confidence into regionals turn to an offense that scored 10 runs or more 14 times this season.

If Westmont gets past the regional opener, it would play either Lisle or IC Catholic Prep in the regional championship game at noon Saturday at Redmond Park in Bensenville, the sight of the entire regional tournament.

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com

Westmont Class: 2A Regional seed: No. 1 Regional: IC Catholic Prep Regional opener: 4:30 p.m. today vs. No. 4 Timothy Christian/ No. 5 Northridge Prep What to watch: Although the Sentinels fell in their final two games of the regular season, they were winners in their previous nine games and clinched the Interstate Eight Conference North Division title as part of that stretch. Westmont also had a 10-game winning streak this season and goes into the playoffs with a perfect record against three of its four possible regional opponents.

“That gives us some confidence and it’s something that helps them understand they can [win a regional title] because we’ve already beaten the teams we’re going to play,” Westmont coach D.J. Cocks said.

The Sentinels defeated Timothy Christian, IC Catholic Prep and Lisle twice this season, averaging eight runs a game in those contests.

Cocks planned to get a look at TC and Northridge Prep in Monday’s

Nick Alfini is a stopper out of the bullpen.

With a win in the regional semifinal, the Mustangs will 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 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 also have scored six Matthew Piechalak – mpiechalak@shawmedia.com or more runs in all but two games Westmont infielders Charlie Donovan (left) and Ryan Schlicher attempt in May (as of Sunday).

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: The Trojans have gone 3-5 in their last 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.

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

Westmont prepares for familiar foes in quest for postseason hardware

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com

Westmont Class: 2A Regional seed: No. 3 Regional: Aurora Central Catholic Regional opener: 4:30 p.m. today vs. No. 2 IC Catholic Prep What to watch: The Sentinels are playoff ready as the postseason begins. Interstate Eight Conference-heavyweights Coal City and Peotone are among their most recent games, and even though they suffered three defeats in those games, it showed Westmont coach Jason Bolden something about his team.

“We battled Peotone pretty good.

We made a couple mistakes but we didn’t get down and we felt we were in the game the whole way,”

Bolden said. “We’ve been battling consistently.”

Earlier this season, Westmont split a doubleheader against IC, winning, 9-2, and losing, 4-1. Kristen Skala earned the pitching win in the victory, and she figures to be in the circle for today’s postseason opener.

If the Sentinels can win and move on to the regional championship game at 11 a.m. Saturday, they might face a familiar foe in Lisle, the top seed in the regional. Skala pitched a no-hitter against the Lions on May 6 and earned a win the next day as the Sentinels swept a two-game series against the Lions.

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 that last couple years, and look where that got us.”

Last year the Trojans fell in the regional championship game as a No. 3 seed. 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.

Downers Grove South 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Joe Becht scored on an error and Burdi came

Prior to topping Mundelein, South romped past Proviso West, 15-0, on Thursday. Chris Pedrak worked three innings and allowed just two hits to earn the pitching win. Burdi and Raher had four RBIs each while Pedrak helped his own cause with a pair of RBIs. Burdi, Mayer, Zach Taylor and Anthony Metz all scored multiple runs in the win.

The Mustangs are scheduled to host Marist at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in their final home game and will face host Sandburg at 11 a.m. Saturday in the regular-season finale.

WESTMONT – Westmont’s girls track and field team saved the best for last.

In the last event of the night at Friday’s Class 1A Lisle sectional, the Sentinels locked up their ninth berth to this weekend’s state meet by taking second in the 4x400-meter relay by getting the best out of every single relay member.

“The 4x400 really told the story of our team,” Westmont coach Steve Wolf said. “Emma May, after running her fastest 400 ever, led off and got the baton to Maggie Arndt in about fifth. Maggie, still tired from just running her fastest-ever 1,600 only minutes before, took the baton and got us into fourth. Elisa Klewinski, who had literally just finished running the 200, took the baton and moved us into third, and then Annie Carlson, in her

in the 100 hurdles (17.33) and triple jump (32 feet, 8 inches).

Chloe Marshinski defended her sectional title in the 3,200 run with a time of 11:57.76, nearly a minute ahead of the runner-up.

The 4x800 relay of Maureen Bailey, Imogene Asa, Kyliegh Heller and Maggie Arndt clocked its best time of the season and repeated as sectional champs with a time of 10:39.45.

Arndt earned another state berth in a distance run as she placed third in the 1,600 run with a time of 5:33.59.

Elisa Klewinski earned a state berth in the long jump with a season-best mark of 159.25, which was good for second place.

Emma May kept the season-bests coming as she ran a 1:05.22 for second place in the 400 dash.

Westmont medaled in 13 of 18 events and earned the most state berths in the history of the girls program.

Ridderhoff, relays guide 7 North entries to girls state track SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Lockport sectional

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 was also 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.

Downers Grove South Sometimes the longest race at a track meet can be devoid of drama.

Sophomore Abby Kargol and ju-

nior 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.

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.
