Borizov guilty in Darien triple murder

dciamprone@shawmedia.com

DSL • Friday, May 17, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

WHEATON – Angela Kramer clutched her sunglasses, keeping her head down as the jury was led back into the courtroom Tuesday evening after a little more than two hours of deliberating the fate of Johnny Borizov. But Angela and the rest of the Kramer family got the verdict they had been longing to hear for more than three years – guilty on all counts. Johnny Sitting at the Borizov end of the second row in the DuPage County Courthouse, Angela Kramer immediately burst into tears of jubilation and relief as relatives hugged, clapped and wiped away tears. The other side of the courtroom painted a different picture as Borizov sat deadpan – the same cool demeanor he displayed since the start of the trial. Members of his family sat calmly after the verdict as well. After a four-week trial, a jury found Borizov guilty on Tuesday of three counts of first-degree murder and one count of solicitation of murder. The 31-year-old was convicted of orchestrating the murders of Lori, Jeff and Michael Kramer of Darien in March 2010 by convincing his friend, Jacob Nodarse, to shoot them to death in their home. Nodarse, 26, formerly of Countryside, pleaded guilty

“It was [Borizov’s] intent, his plan and eventually his motivation that carried out the slaughter of the Kramer family,” said Murray, assistant state’s attorney, during his closing argument. Defense attorney Susana Ortiz continued to pin the blame on Nodarse – saying the trial wasn’t about Borizov, but what Nodarse admitted to doing. “When it comes to Jacob Nodarse, I guess the question before us is, how does his sick mind do what it does?” Ortiz asked jurors. Borizov’s attorneys expressed disappointment over the verdict and said they were “surprised” by how quick the jury came back with a verdict. “We have every intention of filing an appeal,” said de-

Principal says ‘goodbye’ to Hinsdale Central by

dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – If Michael McGrory could tell his students one thing, it would be to not feel pressured to have a solid plan for the future by the time they hit ninth grade. “I think one of the things that a lot of educators would say is that children grow up so much faster now, and they feel pressure to have to know what they want to do with their lives,” said McGrory, principal at Hinsdale Central High School. This is advice coming from a man who has been in education for a long time – originally as a social sciences teacher in the Iowa City school district, where he taught junior high and high school. McGrory said now he’s making the decision to return

to Iowa, where he has accepted the principal position at Muscatine High School. He said family played a major role in his decision, as his daughter will graduate from Hinsdale Central this year and attend the University of Iowa. Since his time at Central, McGrory said he couldn’t think of a memory that stood Michael out to him beMcGrory cause every day was special. “The combination of the students here, the parents and the staff, they’re just outstanding,” he said. “Probably most enjoyable is just the opportunity to work with those three different groups.” Even though McGrory in-

structs others to find their passion, it didn’t take him long to realize education was his. “I got involved like most people did in order to make a difference,” he said. “I knew when I was in college, even high school, education was where I felt like I could make the biggest difference.” Eventually, McGrory went on to become principal at Ames High School in Iowa for 10 years. Three years ago, McGrory accepted the job at Central because of the unique opportunity he saw at the high

school. “I hadn’t been out of the state of Iowa, so having that opportunity to live in the Chicago area was exciting, too,” he said. McGrory also has two other children living in Iowa and another in Kansas City. He will remain principal at Central until June 30. And wherever he ends up down the road, he knows he’ll be doing what he loves. “I’ve never really thought about any other occupation,” McGrory said.

Anderson allegedly robbed the Bank of America branch in Norridge, 8422 W. Lawrence Ave, on April 29, the release stated. He told the teller he would blow up that bank if the teller did not comply with his request, prosecutors allege, and then fled on foot with the money.

HINSDALE – Family Resource Network parent liaisons Lainey Hately and Jennifer Zock have been honored with an Award of Excellence from the Illinois Chapter of the National School Public Relations Association. The distinction was given as part of the INSPRA Distinguished Service Awards, an event May 2 at the Park Ridge Country Club to recognize staff, parents, residents, board members and students who have served as public relations ambassadors through leadership and commitment. Hately and Zock began as volunteers that saw a need for a parent support network within the district’s Pupil Services

Department and spearheaded the formation of the Family Resource Network. The network started the Summer Camp Expo and provides assistance to parents and colleagues, according to a news release.

BURR RIDGE – Dr. Nalini Ahluwalia of Burr Ridge has been charged with one count of violating the anti-kickback law for allegedly receiving $1,000 in exchange for referring two patients to a home health care agency in August 2012. Ahluwalia, 58, was charged in a complaint filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court. She will be ordered to appear in court on a date to be determined. According to the complaint, a confidential informant, who worked at a home healthcare

company in Chicago, told agents that the informant had previously paid kickbacks to Ahluwalia of $400 to $500 per patient in exchange for her referral of Medicare patients to the home healthcare company. On Aug. 23, 2012, at the direction of agents, the informant met with Ahluwalia at the doctor’s office in Chicago and paid her $1,000 for the two Medicare patient referrals in an exchange that was reflected on an audio/ video recording, according to the affidavit. In October 2012 and February 2013, the informant allegedly made two additional $500 payments to Ahluwalia in exchange for Medicare patient referrals.

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.

York Township seeks Memorial Day stories Memorial Day, which falls on the last Monday of May, honors the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. In 2013, Memorial Day is observed May 27. On Memorial Day, families and communities across the nation take time to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation. Americans observe this holiday in different ways, such as displaying flags, visiting veterans’ grave sites, marching in parades or reading President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg address and COMMUNITY other historic and patriotVOICE ic speeches by presidents John and military leaders. And, Valle of course, the traditional selling of poppies by veterans’ organizations to raise funds for veterans’ causes. In York Township, we fly our flag at half-staff until noon, and in accordance with a Congressional resolution passed in 2000, we pause at 3 p.m. local time for a moment of silence to remember and honor the fallen. Another way we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice is to honor our living military veterans every day of the year. Veterans include York Township Senior Center members John M. Stancy, John “Jack” Towers, Estelle Worthem, Edward L. Topol, Floyd Skawski, Louis E. Celli, Earl Shabosky, Dominic Coco, Arthur Hrabec, Howard Hill, Louis Licastro Jr. and Norbert Miloch, all of whom have been honored in our “Remember When” display at Township Hall. And to all you veterans: York Township wants to share your pictures and stories about your service. Please feel free to submit your photos and a story. Your photos will be returned. Not only will they be published in our Senior Sun newsletter, but they also will be posted in the glass display case on the lobby wall in Township Hall. We are proud of our men and women who served to make this country as great as it is. We definitely want photos of you in your uniform and, if possible, a photo of you today so people can see what you look like then and now. Send your photos and your story to: Remember When, c/o York Township, 1502 South Meyers Road, Lombard, IL 60148.

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.

To the person worried about proper grammar … I applaud you. But if you plan to criticize, make sure you are correct! It’s not “me and my friend,” but it’s also not “my friend and me” … it’s “my friend and I.”

Seniors count on these to live. Nobody seems to care that we’re not getting a fair shake on our investments.

A fair shake When will the interest that we get on our savings accounts and CDs get a decent interest?

Controversial comments 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 serving in office.

Month includes Loyalty Day, Military Spouse Appreciation Day, VE Day, Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day. Together, these dates help us appreciate the successes and sacrifices of our military personnel and their families. It is important to remember the men and women who have served over the past 230 years of our nation’s history, as well as recognize those who are serving now. This month recognizes those on active duty in all branches of the services, the National Guard and Reserves plus retirees, veterans and all of their families – more than 90 million Americans. As a state representative, I am proud to support legislation to honor military men and women. I am sponsoring House Resolution 318, which designates May 2013 as Military Appreciation Month in Illinois. I also am sponsoring legislation to enhance the availability of in-state tuition for the higher education of Illinois service members whose service has required residency in other states, and I recently backed a much-needed bill to expand the protest buffer zone around military funerals to protect grieving family and friends from hateful protesters.

Everyone can participate in helping honor soldiers and military workers. You can start today by displaying an American flag at your home or business, donating to the Wounded Warrior Project or volunteering at your local VA – or by simply saying “thanks” to a veteran you know.

It is my hope that you too will find a way to give back to the brave men and women who serve us each day. State Rep. Kathleen Willis Addison

Let’s reduce government waste 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 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.

Chet Daker, 11, (right) works on his invention May 7 as Yassine Bukhari looks on in the Elm School library. and it worked on her because she can never get up either, but I haven’t tried it ... myself,” Lillian said. Elm School Principal Jeana Considine said Invention Convention has been taking place

at the school for more than 15 years as part of the language arts curriculum. “They start by coming up with something that bugs them and identify the problem,” Considine said. “Then they brain-

come magnets for ending up under the couch. To help with the dilemma, Perry created “The SIM,” or Stuck Item Multi-tool. The invention consists of a hollow broom handle, a flashlight and a coat hanger. “I actually created this out of scrap material,” Perry said. “It was fairly easy to make.” Perry demonstrated the tool by using some board pieces and a nearby bookshelf. He attached the miniature light to the end of the broom so he could see where the pieces were, then used the wide end of the hanger to reach and grab each piece. Even though the creative process and project design doesn’t start until March and April, that doesn’t stop students from getting their ideas earlier. “We’ve been doing this for so long that when the kids are in kindergarten, they start thinking about what they want to invent in fifth grade,” Considine said.

BURR RIDGE – Thomas Edison is considered one of the greatest inventors of all time, but even he couldn’t think of a remedy for getting out of bed early. On May 7, fifth-graders at Elm Elementary School showed off their creative side in an “Invention Convention” presentation, where their own creations were put on display. One of those inventions was “Clock Smell” by Lillian Kloubec. “I thought, I can’t get up on time, so I should invent something to help,” said Lillian, 11, of Hinsdale. After a few days of pondering and some prototypes, Lillian came up with the idea to use an old-fashioned alarm clock and a motion-sensor air freshener. When the bells on top of the clock ring, it forces a wand to wave over the sensor, releasing an aroma. “I tried it with my sister,

storm lots of different ideas, so it’s all about creativity and thinking outside of the box.” What bugged 10-year-old Jaffar Ali of Hinsdale was having to always put on his jacket, then his backpack. To speed up the process, and protect himself and his materials from rain, Jaffar created the “Jack Pack” – a combination of a jacket and backpack. “Inside would be all your school materials: pencils, papers, books, money and iPod,” Jaffar said. “Once it’s a rainy day, all your stuff would be in there, and it wouldn’t get wet.” Making the Jack Pack took about two hours. Jaffar used a glue gun and sewing machine to add a zipped compartment to the back of his windbreaker. Jaffar said it’s lighter and looks better than a backpack. Other students, such as Perry Zhao, wanted to invent something to assist one of his favorite hobbies – playing board games. With any board game comes small pieces, which somehow always be-

Laura Howard, unit secretary in emergency services at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital, has her hands blessed by staff Chaplain Lynn Kumis on May 8.

Hands blessed at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – It takes a special set of hands to work in a hospital, and not just the kind that excel at Milton Bradley’s Operation. To help Adventist Hinsdale Hospital staff members spiritually, staff Chaplain Lynn Kumis set out last week to anoint the hands with blessed oil and say a prayer for members in each unit. The blessing of hands is open to all faiths. “We do blessing of the hands every year and it occurs during [National] Nurses Week,” Kumis said. “It’s a way for us to not only honor our staff of nurses, but all other team members.” Kumis began to make her rounds that morning to each unit as she has done so for the past eight years during National Nurses Week. The first stop was the emergency room. Upon

entering, doctors, nurses and secretaries rushed to Kumis for the blessing. To start, Kumis asks someone to be the leader – the one responsible for reading select passages of prayer. Then, Kumis blessed each staff members’ hands by anointing them with oil and dabbing the palms and backside of their hands. “We don’t call ahead. We just show up and then in the afternoon I’ll try to get other shifts again,” Kumis said. “This goes around the clock so we try to get all the shifts and all the staff.” Kumis said the blessing is all day because of the hectic schedule units can experience at any time in a hospital setting. After years of blessings, Kumis said she keeps going because of the excitement of the staff. “The reaction of the staff, how they all ran up to us and held their hands out ... it’s just wonderful,” she said.

Are You Starting to See Excessive Dog Hair in Your Home? It’s beginning … the annual shedding of the winter coat of your beloved dog. The winter coat that your pet put on for the winter is beginning to release and allow for the summer coat to come in. This can be a minor inconvenience for some, or a downright blizzard of blowing dog hair for some dog owners – depending on the type of breed and coat. We have an awesome solution for you!!!!! We will give your dog a full spring cleaning treatment using the Furminator De-Shedding system.

This system is specially designed to dramatically reduce the amount of hair you will have in your home. This de-shedding system is a multistep process that uses special de-shedding tools, shampoo, conditioner and drying. This service normally costs anywhere from $20 to $40 extra on top of a regular grooming. But for this ad only, we are offering this service with a regular grooming for FREE. Just to show you the math, a regular grooming runs about $43, and with the de-shedding system, add another $20. This is a total cost of $63 in value. You get it for FREE. What are the catches? Only one… We are offering this to new customers to Belle Aire Grooming. If you have not had the chance to try our services, we would like the

opportunity to win you over with this fantastic offer. If you are new to us, give us a call at

630-969-3145 to book your appointment. We have given away over 65 free groomings in the last three months and people are just loving what we’re doing for them. The first grooming is on us, so give us a call today because we really do book up fast because we only have a couple of spots open a day. Finally, hopefully, we have seen the end of old man winter and we can start enjoying a new spring. I wish you and your pet all the best this new spring time.

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,

These foods may help prevent 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.

• 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.

• 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.

Seniors on Medicaid or who only receive minimum Social security income can qualify. If you need help to maintain your independence, you may qualify for the Illinois Supportive Living program. The program enables you to... • Beneit from the availability of three meals a day, housekeeping & laundry service. • Enjoy companionship of friends and neighbors and the opportunity to participate in social, recreational and educational activities. • Live in your own private apartment. • Receive the personal assistance you need

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.

Coping with seasonal allergies

These are not your grandmother’s retirement homes

Suburban Life • mysuburbanlife.com • Friday, May 17, 2013 • DSL

| BOOMERS

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.

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.

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 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 accomplish ments and reduce the emphasis you place on job tasks. Achievements tend to stand out above titles, and men and women over 50 likely hav 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.

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Pitching was the buzz word surrounding Hinsdale Central’s baseball team this spring, and with good reason. With three Division I college pitchers in Christian Bokich, Adam Dressler and Bobby Skogsbergh, the Red Devils have Tyler the arms. But just Ward as important as who throws the ball is who catches it, and senior Tyler Ward forms the other half of Central’s catcher-pitcher battery. “He does a great job hopping around back there like there’s no tomorrow,” Central coach Tom Dorrance said. “He really works his butt off.” With the way he jumps around to catch and block pitches, Ward at times resembles a hockey goalie facing a flurry of shots. But his fleet feet came a different way. “I always played shortstop and center field,” Ward said. “Before freshman year, I had never been a catcher, but they needed somebody behind the plate. I tried it once, and I fell in love with it. It keeps you in every play. It keeps you on your toes.” Ward said good coaching at the lower levels helped him develop into the player he is now, which is a player who is in control of things on the field. In addition to calling some of his own pitches, Ward is a vocal presences as he barks out defensive alignments and instructs the other fielders what to do when the ball is in play. Ward has handled a pitching

staff with a 2.93 ERA this season, and has done so by dealing with different pitching styles. The ball explodes out of Skogsbergh’s hand. Bokich works low in the zone. Dressler mixes it up. The rest of the staff varies in their style and delivery, too, and good communication has helped Ward develop good relationships with all of them. “They talk to me to give me an idea of what’s working for them, and we’ll talk before the game to make sure we’re all on the same page,” Ward said. “During the game, I’ll try to give them as much confidence as I can to keep them motivated and keep them positive, and little tips to keep the pitches in line. “They’re all different pitchers, but they all do a great job.” He may not bat at the top of the order, but Ward provides a big spark to his teammates regardless. “I love his competitiveness back there,” Dorrance said. “It’s something I haven’t had in a catcher in a long time.” Perhaps the biggest vote of confidence in Ward’s ability behind the plate and what he means to the team came from his teammates before the season when he was voted a team captain. “It was a great feeling. I had no idea they felt like that about me,” Ward said. “I had no idea I had an impact as a leader. I just try to play hard all the time.”

Mental toughness paves path to Gold title By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DARIEN – Minds sometimes can wander in the game of baseball. That was a problem Hinsdale South’s baseball team didn’t have to deal with during the regular season, in particular during West Suburban Gold conference games. “Mentally we were in every game but one, really,” South coach Paul Hoel said of to a 7-6 loss to Downers Grove South. “The kids kept their heads in the game the whole way.” The result was that the Hornets defended the WSG title they won last year. They went 1-2 against runner-up Downers Grove South, but the Mustangs lost two of three to Willowbrook to close the WSG slate while South swept Proviso East to claim the title. The Hornets were 16-2 in conference play while the Mustangs were 15-3.

Big number 6.05: Average runs per game for Hinsdale South in West Suburban Gold games this spring. The Hornets scored 10 or more seven times.

“It’s a great thing,” Hoel said. “Our kids played really well all season long. Not to take anything away from the teams we played in conference because they’re good, but realistically, I thought we could have won every game. One game we lost in 12 innings (6-4 to Downers South), and the other we lost because of our own mistakes.” Hinsdale South started the conference season with a sweep of Willowbrook, and after losing the series to Downers South, won the next 12 WSG contests. “Our defense has been amazing

and our pitching was awesome,” senior Matt Reschke said. “I can’t think of a team we played that played as well as we did on defense, pitching and hitting.” Mike Rizzo and Mike Marrera suffered the two pitching losses in conference while Reschke was the one who earned a win over Downers South. As of Tuesday, that trio accounted for 19 of South’s 22 wins. Hoel said the conference title was the result of a total team effort in all 18 games. “We are a talented group, but what we don’t have in talent compared to some of the other teams in our conference is we all know our roles and perform our roles well,” the coach said. “There are times where I gave the sign to bunt and they kid already knew it was coming. There were times where the kids actually gave me the sign.”

League-champion Hornets primed for regional glory

South looks to avenge regular-season loss in opener By JASON ROSSI

By JASON ROSSI

jrossi@shawmedia.com

Hinsdale South

Hinsdale Central

Class: 4A Sectional seed: No. 5 Regional: Oswego Regional opener: 6:30 p.m. Wednesday vs. No. 12 Metea Valley/No. 21 East Aurora What to watch: South coach Paul Hoel divides the season into three parts: the early pre-conference games, the 18 West Suburban Gold contests and the postseason. The first two portions have been building to the third. “We’ve seen good teams all year,” Hoel said. “Our schedule has been tough, and in our conference crossover games and nonconference games, we’ve seen a lot really good pitching.” Fresh off defending their WSG title, the Hornets were set to face Downers Grove North yesterday before hosting Plainfield North (4:30 p.m. Friday) and Riverside Brookfield (4:30 p.m. Monday) to prep for the playoffs. Winning the Gold, which South clinched Monday after sweeping Proviso East, was a good boost heading into the playoffs. If the Hornets advance past the regional semifinal, they would play for the title at 10 a.m. May 25 and perhaps against a familiar opponents. Downers Grove North is the No. 4 seed and plays in the other semifinal game Wednesday.

Class: 4A Sectional seed: No. 9 Regional: Hinsdale Central Regional opener: 4:30 p.m. Thursday vs. No. 8 Waubonsie Valley What to watch: Hot and cold streaks have defined the Red Devils’ season, but their recent schedule as well as their season-ending game against Naperville North (4:30 p.m. Friday in Hinsdale) are priming them for a playoff push. “We’ve faced some really good pitchers lately and our at-bats are getting better every game,” Central coach Tom Dorrance said. “We’re playing good competition and playing them well.” In Christian Bokich, Adam Dressler and Bobby Skogsbergh, the Red Devils have the arms to compete with anyone in the playoffs. If they can maintain their hot hitting with runners in scoring position (.355), they could make a deep playoff run. “I think we’re headed in the right direction,” Dorrance said. “Our fielding is getting better, and our pitching is getting better.” If Central tops Waubonsie in the regional semifinal, it would move on to the title game at 11 a.m. May 25. The likely opponent would be No. 1 sectional seed Downers Grove South, who topped Central, 5-2, on May 1.

Hinsdale South

Hinsdale Central

Class: 4A Sectional seed: No. 9 Regional: Lyons Township Regional opener: 4:30 p.m. Wednesday vs. No. 7 Lyons Township What to watch: Up and down all season, the Hornets had lost four in a row from May 11 to 14. But that might be the precursor to catching fire in the postseason. “We just need to find our consistency,” South coach Kelly Van Hout said. Playing nonconference games against the likes of Naperville Central, Glenbard North and Downers Grove North should have the Hornets ready for postseason pressure. “With the regional you get big-game intensity and pressure,” Van Hout said. “I think we’ll be OK going in.” When South and LT played early in the season, the Lions scored twice in the bottom of the seventh to salvage a 3-2 win. Holli Jones drove in both runs and Jessica Buckridge and Megan White divided the pitching duties. With a win, the Hornets would move on to the regional championship game at 11 a.m. May 25 where No. 2 sectional seed Mother McAuley would be the likely opponent.

Class: 4A Sectional seed: No. 12 Regional: Hinsdale Central Regional opener: 4:30 p.m. Wednesday vs. No. 8 Reavis What to watch: Saturday’s doubleheader against visiting Addison Trail will conclude the regular season for the Red Devils. But if head coach Lee Maciejewski had his druthers, he’d rather have his young team on the practice field. “When you have a young team, the only way to get better is on the practice field,” Maciejewski said. A recent downturn had the Red Devils’ record sitting at 7-16 overall, but the attitudes of the players remained positive. “The attitude is fine,” Maciejewski said. “There are no complaints. We’re happy with the kids. I’m sure they’re a little frustrated, but we’re all pulling in the same direction.” If Central can move past Reavis in the playoff opener, it would move on to the regional title game at 11 a.m. May 25, where it would likely face defending state champ and No. 1 sectional seed Marist.

Thompson wins 2 events, claims runner-up finish in all-around FRANKFORT – Hinsdale Central senior Brian Thompson won two titles and finished second in the all-around at the state gymnastics meet Friday and Saturday at Lincoln-Way East High School. Thompson tied for first

place on pommel horse and won the outright title on horizontal bar, both with 9.550 scores. He also finished second on rings (9.30) and fourth on parallel bars (9.40), but to Central coach Mark Wanner, Thompson’s pommel horse performance was his best. “I was most impressed with his pommel horse rou-

Schmidt was 24th in the allaround (47.50) with a high score of 8.850 on floor. Senior Sam Hamilton finished 44th on rings and junior Alex Gelz was 46th on parallel bars and 47th on horizontal bars. With Thompson leading the way, Schmidt and Gelz got invaluable experience as they look to make it back to state next spring. While the building blocks are in place for success in 2014, replacing a talent like Thompson will be tough.

“You think about how good Brian is as a competitor, he is also that good as a person,” Wanner said. “He’s a great kid.”

Hinsdale South Ryan Alsip earned the Hornets’ best finish at the state meet as he tied for 22nd on vault with a score of 8.90. Alsip also competed on pommel horse (28th), floor exercise (37th) and horizontal bar (43rd). Teammate Eddie Murphy finished 44th on vault.

Hornets exact revenge against rival Red Devils By JASON ROSSI

Game box

jrossi@shawmedia.com DARIEN – The best thing Matt Reschke did Tuesday was a bit of mental spring cleaning. “Lately I’ve been thinking too much at the plate and I was struggling a little bit,” the Hinsdale South senior said. “Today I cleared my mind and focused on hitting the ball. I hit it hard and found some holes.” Reschke’s three-run triple in the third inning capped the scoring in South’s four-run frame and was the big blow that helped deliver a 5-4 win over Hinsdale Central in a tune-up game for next week’s playoffs. Tuesday’s narrow win helped the Hornets (22-9) avenge a pair of 2-1 losses to the Red Devils earlier in the season. “They had two wins on us earlier, and we didn’t want them to come to our place and sweep us,” Reschke said. With the conference season finished and playoff seeding wrapped up, Tuesday’s game was a chance for both teams to stay sharp heading toward the postseason. “It was just a baseball game,” South coach Paul Hoel said. “It was no different than the first six or seven games of the year before conference. You just want to continue to

do the things you’re supposed to do.” “We just wanted to stay focused,” Central coach Tom Dorrance said. “It’s a matter of finding our consistency and continuing to jell.” An error allowed Mike Meyers to reach to start the third before D.J. Deolitsis singled and Mike Rizzo was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Don Buonavolanto’s walk brought Meyers home and kept the bases loaded long enough for Reschke to clear them with a blast to the gap in left-center field. The Hornets added another run in the fourth. Meyers again reached on an error, went to third on another error and trotted home when George Cote hit into a fielder’s choice. Central (15-12) came back with three runs in the fifth. Jacob White singled home

Hinsdale Central’s Jacob White gives new meaning to “stealing second” as the base comes out of the ground on his steal Tuesday at Hinsdale South. The throw to second baseman Joe Oehmen (left) was backed up by shortstop Don Buonavolanto. Ryan Haff, Matt Muellner plated Jared Eck on a sacrifice fly, and Alec Hutcherson’s single plated White as the Red Devils cut the deficit to 5-4. White walked and scored when Muellner reached on an error in the first inning. But after the Red Devils sent eight batters to the plate and scored the three runs in the fifth, South starting

pitcher Mike Rizzo worked 1-2-3 innings in the sixth and seventh to douse any hopes of a Central rally. Rizzo walked one, struck out two and didn’t allow an earned run as he picked up the win. Central’s Basil Arain suffered the loss, although he also didn’t allow an earned run. He walked one and fanned two over four innings before handing the ball to

Charlie Banke. Central hit the ball hard all game, but it rarely found the ground. The Red Devils had 10 fly ball outs. “A lot of our losses, we’ve hit the ball hard but we’ve hit it right at people,” Dorrance said. “You’d think one game they’d start falling in there, but what are you going to do? You can’t get upset when kids are hanging tough and having good at-bats.”

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. Realtors do more than sell houses, they give back to the communities in which they live and work.

The mother and son team make up Higgins Glass Studio, 33 E. Quincy, entrusted to the Wimmers to carry on the art crafted by their long time mentors, Fran and Michael Higgins, who began the company in 1948. Louise and Jonathan agree that it was Fran’s ideas and Michael’s energy and ingenuity that led these two huge talents to start their work out if their Chicago apartment in 1948. Over the years their art sold in such major retailers as Marshall Field’s, Georg Jensen and Bullocks Wilshire, the very high end store in the California based department store chain. In 1966, the Higgins decided to return to private studio work and set up their offices in Riverside. The website notes that “here they were free to set their own goals, meet their own standards and design in the direction their hearts and minds led them.” There’s a lot of history in Higgins, and the Wimmers are proud of their work and the company.
