WMP

WESTMONT – Things are adding up for Westmont’s Zackary Sedivy.

The recent Westmont High School graduate took first place in a competition of the 2013 National Leadership Conference hosted by Business Professionals of America, an organization for students pursuing careers in business management, finance, accounting and related career fields.

Sedivy took first in the event’s Microsoft Excel spreadsheet competition.

To win, Sedivy created a spreadsheet, plugged in formulas and made an expanded pie graph.

The competition was May 8 to 12 at Disney World in Orlando.

To qualify for entry into the national competition, Sedivy finished first in a state competition.

He joined the Business Professionals of America at the advice of a former teacher.

“My teacher from a long time ago said I was pretty decent when it came to accounting and asked my mom if I could join,” he said.

Sedivy will attend the College of DuPage in the fall for two years. If he maintains a 3.2 grade-point average, he will be guaranteed admission to the University of Illinois’ College of Engineering.

“I had an interest in engineering, so it worked out,” said Sedivy, adding he is

Westmont OKs 1.5 percent eating tax Tax applies to designated ‘places of eating,’ kicks in Sept. 1

By KRISTIN PEDICNI kpedicini@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – In a 5 to 1 vote Monday, the Westmont Village Board voted to implement a 1.5 percent restaurant

tax in a move village officials say will help erase a $3 million revenue loss and fund road repairs.

The vote came after the tax was proposed and discussed during a committee of the

whole meeting Thursday. At that meeting, several restaurant owners spoke against the eating tax.

Restaurant owners have said the tax would put them at a disadvantage to surrounding

communities that do not impose an eating tax and could stunt any growth they’ve had since the downturn in the economy. The opposition continued Monday, with five business owners speaking during public comment.

John Fleming, owner of J.Fleming’s Absolutely Delicious in downtown Westmont, said the tax increase will discourage people from doing business in Westmont.

“I don’t think it’s fair, and I don’t think it’s going to help bring people to this town,” Fleming said Monday.

Village officials say the 1.5 percent tax will bring in $760,000 annually to the village and alleviate an estimated $3 million loss in revenues after residents repealed home rule status in November.

Repealing home rule forced the village to repeal a 2.5 centper-gallon gasoline tax and a one-half percent sales tax hike.

Both tax hikes were enacted under home rule authority.

Know more The restaurant tax applies to all “Places of Eating” in Westmont, including restaurants, bakeries, bars, hotels or catering services that serve food.

The tax is imposed on owners of the places of eating and can be passed on to customers.

It applies to food and drink that is eaten on- and off-site.

The tax also will allow the village to issue $10 million in bonds to use for road repairs throughout town, officials said.

Trustee Bruce Barker, who voted in favor of the tax, said the vote was a tough decision.

“My position is not anything against the restaurants in this community,” Barker said. “I’m not voting against the restaurants; I am

Rollover crash in Westmont sends man to hospital

By KRISTIN PEDICINI kpedicini@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – A 45-yearold man was taken to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital on June 11 after a rollover crash at 63rd Street and Richmond Avenue.

The southbound Ford Ranger attempted to cross the street when a Honda, traveling east-

bound on 63rd Street, struck the truck, causing it to flip onto its side, Westmont police said.

Police said the truck’s driver was taken to the hospital as a precaution for minor body aches. Neither the Honda’s driver nor passenger reported injuries, police said.

Eastbound lanes of 63rd Street were closed about 30 minutes.

Ask Dr. Webster

Q: My teeth have been getting a little darker as I age. Is that normal?

A: Alas, as we age, changes take place in the mouth. Changes that come with aging affect the teeth, gums, jawbone and other features of the mouth. A darkening of the teeth is one of these natural changes. Over the years the enamel of your teeth tends to become more transparent.

It shows more of the dentin underneath, and the dentin is what darkens with age. The teeth also literally wear down over decades of use.

Chewing, for instance, wears down the biting surface of the teeth. That type of wear is called attrition. Another type of wear is called abrasion.

It occurs in the cementum that covers the root of the tooth. This type of wear is more common in older people whose gums have receded. Receded gums also make the roots more vulnerable to decay.

Another natural change is the wrinkling of skin around the mouth. It’s just a fact that older cells contain less water and older tissue, less fat. Older people who have lost some or all of their teeth are also more likely to experience bone resorption, or dissolution. Dryness in the mouth is another natural part of aging. It can be exacerbated by other factors, including medication use. Talk with your dentist about how to keep your mouth healthy as you age.

Hermanek, who is 5-foot-8 and weighs 165 pounds, also removed smoking and drinking from her life.

She said weight loss isn’t always measured by numbers.

“It’s 90 percent diet and 10 percent exercising,” Hermanek said. “A lot of people exercise to eat whatever they want. Instead of exercising to eat, you should eat to exercise.

Food should be fuel to exercise. Exercise shouldn’t be to make up for your nutrition.”

Around October 2012, she said she decided to conquer her first half marathon.

Marathon in October.

Training for the marathon began in the beginning of June.

She plans to run the marathon with Team Healthy Kids, which focuses on instilling nutrition and physical activity values in children and schools.

“I don’t see anything that will ultimately stop her from completing her goal,” Ed Hermanek said. “I’ve seen what she’s done when she can set her mind to do something.”

Along with the ability to conquer her goals, the weight loss has given her a better work ethic in all aspects of life, Tracy Hermanek said.

“It’s a physical transformation of course,” Ed Hermanek said. “But more important is the mind set and emotional change.”

“I have a constant need to go beyond,” she said. “Being perceived as hard working is important to me. I was obese and lazy for a long time, and I don’t ever want to go back.”

WESTMONT – With the amount of weight-loss programs and diet plans out there, it’s difficult to find the one that works, but a Westmont native has discovered the secret: a positive attitude.

Tracy Hermanek said people comment more on how much she smiles rather than the 100-plus pounds she has lost over the past 15 months.

“People respond better to me not just because I look better, but also because my attitude is better,” Hermanek said.

The 24-year-old began her weight-loss journey in March 2012 using the P90X fitness challenge by Beach Body.

“One morning, I woke up and said I’m going to do it,” Hermanek said. “I started out focused more on exercising, which motivated me to eat healthier. I became a vegetarian a few months after and then

“She was very giving and if she could do it, she’d help you,” Turner 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.

Warmest regards, John O’ Driscoll Owner Belle Aire Kennels & Grooming.

The DuPage Inn also gets a 1 percent cut of the $4 million, which is $40,000. Manager Chris Boulougouris said the funds probably will go to a combination of bills and possible renovation projects that have not been decided upon.

DOWNERS GROVE – When DuPage Inn waitress Connie Licona scratched off her lottery ticket after a shift June 12, she was excited about what she thought was a $4,000 winner.

Then one of her coworkers took a second look at the $20 ticket.

“She said, ‘Connie, you gotta sit down for a minute,’” Licona said Friday. “She said, ‘You won $4 million.’

“I almost fell. I couldn’t believe it.”

The Glen Ellyn resident took the $4 million winner to her brother’s house in Lombard to celebrate. She always has Thursdays off, and the celebration continued that night, too. She took a personal day Friday.

“I’m still hungover,” she said by phone Friday.

But she said Monday she will be back at the bar and restaurant to work with her

in yet,” she said. “I think it’ll sink in when I see that check.”

She plans to buy a house for one of her daughters who is a single mother and help her other three children financially in other ways. For her mother, a new car; for her sister, a condo. The rest, she plans to invest, possibly in real estate, she said, although she first wants to consult a financial adviser.

Licona has worked at the Downers Grove business about six years, she said, but it started offering lottery tickets only about a year ago. In that time, she’s seen a few people win a thousand dollars, but not nothing approaching her luck this week.

“It hasn’t even sunk in yet. I think it’ll sink in when I see that check.”

Carolyn Mossberger, executive director of the West Suburban Humane Society, said the shelter reached out to Save Our Strays, based in Moore, to see whether it could provide help in the days after the EF-5 tornado hit the town.

Twelve dogs were sent to the Downers Grove shelter.

Three are in foster homes, while the nine remaining were available for adoption as

of Friday.

Mossberger said most of the dogs are puppies and are Labrador, terrier or blue heeler mixes.

“If there’s an area that needs help, we try to help out,” Mossberger said.

West Suburban Humane Society requests donations to care for the Moore dogs and other dogs and cats. The shelter also requests foster home volunteers.

Hello, Westmont and Woodridge Hey everyone. My name is Kristin Pedicini and I am the new reporter for the Westmont Progress and Woodridge Reporter. I just wanted to take a quick minute to introduce myself and why I chose a career in journalism.

To start out, I’m originally from Woodridge. I went to a private grade school in Darien, atCOMMUNITY tended high school at VOICE Downers Grove South and Kristin recently graduated Pedicini from Bradley University in May. I love sports and anything that can make me laugh. I really enjoy any outdoor activities like swimming, biking, running, even just getting lost in a book on the deck. I love to travel. I studied abroad in Spain and can’t wait to one day travel around more of Europe.

Writing always has been one of my passions, but it wasn’t until college that I decided on reporting.

At Bradley University, I majored in journalism and minored in professional writing.

While taking the journalism route, I also took courses on broadcasting and was on the school’s television program, Midstate Magazine, for two years. I’ve had internships in social media and radio promotions.

I was a reporting intern at The Peoria Journal Star, where I covered mostly breaking news and human interest stories. While at the P-J Star, I learned about the position at Suburban Life Media and decided to apply.

I’m excited to report on two towns that I am so familiar with, especially because I grew up in the area.

I also want to get know each of you and your stories.

Feel free to email me at kpedicini@shawmedia.com or you can reach me at 630-427-6267. I also use Twitter for most of the stories I’m reporting on, so follow me @K_Pedicini.

Police found the man and discovered that he actually was lost and looking for directions to traffic court, which was nearby where he asked the boy for help.

In the June 5 incident at Whittier School, a group of children said they saw a man possibly videotaping them with a cellphone from his car.

They told police they saw a man enter the school parking lot driving a newer model, dark-colored Sedan.

Lyman from 55th to 59th Street is an obstacle course, including the work performed for the expensive stormwater project. The roadwork this week on Main Street from Maple to 55th is another unacceptable job from the day the asphalt was laid. Require concrete to replace these cutouts, and our cars won’t need new shocks.

DOWNERS GROVE – There are no new leads in two suspicious incidents reported this month, police said.

One involved a man possibly videotaping children playing near Whittier Elementary School, and another in which a man followed a teenager in his van and asked her if she wanted a ride at 72nd Street and Fairmount Avenue.

Downers Grove Police Lt. Mike Willison reminded res-

idents not to delay when calling the police after witnessing anything questionable.

“The odds of us confronting the person or catching the person relies on how quickly you get the call to us,” he said. “Don’t be afraid to call if you see something suspicious.”

If a person calls without delay, police can find the person in question quickly, and in the best scenarios, determine the person was acting innocently, he said.

That happened in February, when a 13-year-old boy

8NEWS BRIEFS KinderCare consolidates with Woodridge location WESTMONT – While approaching its final day June 14, the Westmont KinderCare celebrated its past years.

The center, 251 W. 63rd St., hosted a goodbye, reunion and moving party June 8 for staff, parents and families, said Balqees Hamden, the center’s director. The Westmont day care is consolidating with its Woodridge location.

The celebration included inflatables for the kids, a barbecue, face painter, snow cones and more.

Hamden, who has been with KinderCare for almost 16 years, said it’s as if they’re leaving their family, but it only will make her team stronger.

Once the center is closed, most families are moving to the Woodridge South KinderCare at 7450 N. Woodward Ave., along with the majority of the Westmont teachers.

Westmont Special Events seeks volunteers for summer WESTMONT – Westmont Special Events is looking for volunteers for the Taste of Westmont and the Westmont Street Fair.

Westmont Special Events needs 200 volunteers, and anyone interested can sign up online or in person. Hard copies are available at Westmont Chamber of Commerce, Westmont Village Hall and the Westmont Park District.

“We are looking for help in all areas from

the pop tents, to beer tents, set up to recycling,” Vice President of Westmont Special Events Robin Gardner said.

Westmont Special Events also is looking for volunteers before the event to distribute fliers.

“We have Taste and Street Fair yard signs, fliers and posters that we need help placing throughout the surrounding area,” publicity Chairwoman Emily Bandza said. “Even an hour of time hanging some posters will help.”

For information, call 630-829-9378, email wsec@westmontevents.com or visit westmontevents.com.

Restaurant reviews

Try something different at Mollie’s Public House RIVERSIDE – When I stepped into Mollie’s Public House in Riverside, I was in a contrarian mood.

Feeling like I had settled into a rut of always ordering the same sorts of meals no matter where I went, I was resolved to try something out of character. Something I normally would reject.

I perused the menu and forced myself to overlook enticing options, such as the buffalo wrap, classic Reuben and half-pound burgers. All sounded great, but I needed something different.

Then I came across “Big Bad John.” The description read: “Roasted pork loin wrapped in bacon, stuffed with corned beef and Mollie’s sauce topped with cheddar cheese and a pineapple slice, served on a pretzel bun. Accompanied with our hand-cut french fries.”

Pork loin. Bacon. Corned beef. Cheddar cheese. With a pineapple slice. I safely could say I never had eaten anything like it.

My dining companions

opted for more standard fare, a burger and the shepherd’s pie, and both looked terrific. They’re on my to-try list the next time I stop by Mollie’s. But the Big Bad John sandwich dwarfed all other food options. It probably is the largest sandwich I ever have attempted to consume. I wanted to finish it – who wants to let pork loin go unfinished? – but it was such a massive amount of food, I couldn’t manage it. But I certainly got my money’s worth, and my taste buds were pleased by the savory combination of meaty flavors and the occasional hint of pineappley sweetness.

Since my visit, Mollie’s has posted a summer menu online that replaces such heavy, cold-weather options with lighter fare. Most notably, it offers a slew of salad choices, including a grilled vegetable salad with asparagus, squash, zucchini and red pepper, and a fregadero salad (fregadero is Spanish for kitchen sink) that has more ingredients than I

Pork loin, bacon, corned beef, cheddar cheese, pineapple ... there’s a lot to the “Big Bad John” sandwich at Mollie’s Public House. have space to list here.

The interior at Mollie’s is an authentic pub experience, with dark wood features, but a high enough ceiling that it doesn’t feel cramped.

There’s a sporty vibe with TVs mounted above the bar and a soccer jersey on display, plus a great outdoor seating area to enjoy the fresh air and ambiance of Riverside’s downtown.

I don’t think I’d get the

Big Bad John again, as much as I enjoyed it, because wolfing down that much protein just isn’t the norm for me.

But given that I had a great experience even while going outside my comfort zone, I’m sure I’ll be even happier with some of the options that are more aligned with my typical palate.

Assuming I’m not in a contrarian mood again the next time I drop by, that is.

Pizza Via catering delivers the whole brick oven SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA Father and son Bob and Alex Ciciora of Downers Grove can stand the heat in the kitchen, but don’t have to, thanks to the portable brick oven they designed to take on the road for a catering business they call The Pizza Via. Bob, an airline pilot by profession, built the oven himself brick by brick, and the traveling business he helms just went full time under the wing of Alex, who completed advanced training in the venerable art of fine pizza.

What started as a hobby meant to entertain family and friends took off as Alex’s passion for cooking developed.

While still in high school, he enrolled in cooking classes

Where’s the pizza?

Phone: 630-457-8807 Web: www.thepizzavia.com

at the Technology Center of DuPage in Addison. At 18, he’d already launched a catering business with a friend.

“I’ve always had a bit of an entrepreneurial spirit,” he said. “I was the kid who shoveled driveways in winter and made lemonade stands in summer.”

After graduating from the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn in 2012, he went on to receive certification as a pizzaiola (a pizza chef) from the San Francisco branch of the Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli pizza

school of Italy. His specialty is Neapolitan and classic Italian-style pizzas.

The Pizza Via brings its portable wood-fired brick oven to events between April and November. The Cicioras note the dough and sauce are handmade and paired with fresh ingredients for flavorful pizza served buffet style.

“I’ve worked in the restaurant business since I was 16,” said Alex, 22. “While that was fun, I love the catering business. People are getting together to celebrate and have a good time. That energy is contagious, and it’s so much fun.”

A typical menu for The Pizza Via includes salads, pizza and gelato from Gelati in Naperville for dessert. From a

set menu of seven to eight pizzas, such as pesto, prosciutto olive, barbecue chicken and Margherita, pizzas are pre-selected by the party host.

The oven heats to 1,000 degrees, so it only takes 90 seconds to fully bake a pizza. The pre-chosen pizzas are cooked first, and guests can request to have their favorites remade.

Even after the fire is put out, the oven provides insulated warmth for up to two days. The heat is used to bake artisan breads they sell at farmers markets, including the one in Burr Ridge.

They also will be on site at the Solemn Oath Brewery in Naperville twice a month all summer, cooking individual-sized pizzas for $10.

Extra effort turned SIU-bound shortstop into Downers North leader

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Home runs wow the crowds, but small plays can make the difference in a baseball game.

Connor Kopach was a master of making the small, but significant, play.

Perhaps nothing says more about the type of player the recently-graduated Downers Grove North shortstop was than a seemingly small play during the Trojans’ sectional championship game against Neuqua Valley.

Standing on second base after a single and a walk behind him, a low pitch was short-hopped to home plate. Kopach didn’t hesitate taking third even though the ball landed just a few feet from the catcher. He came around to score on a sacrifice fly. He had a similar play later in the game and had two like it in North’s regional championship win.

“He did all the little things that made an impact,” North coach Chad Isaacson said.

Being a heady player was only part of what made Kopach such a dominant player. Part of it was the work he put in to become a consistent hitter this season: the plyometric exercises, the weightlifting sessions in the offseason, working with hitting instructor Steve Hayward at Strikes Baseball Academy in Broadview. Another part of was his steady defensive play at shortstop, and yet another part was the way in which he led the Trojans to one of their better seasons in recent memory.

With the way he played and the way he carried himself, Kopach solidified himself as a team

leader. He let his teammates handle the vocal duties while he led by his actions.

“Troy [Southard] and James [Sheldon] were the ones that usually got on people,” Kopach said. “I’m not much of a talker, so I tried to show leadership by working on the field.”

By the time his senior season

rolled around, Kopach was wellversed in what it took to get it done on the field. He started his career as a 5-year-old in T-ball, and he been playing ever since.

He upped the ante when he started playing travel ball when he was 11. The next phase will start soon, as he heads to Southern Illinois to continue his career.

Isaacson will be sad to see him go, and so too will some opposing coaches.

“He was good last year, but he took another step this season and I think he was one of the best shortstops we’ve ever had here,” Isaacson said. “I can’t tell you how many compliments I got from opposing coaches about him. He worked hard and he was well-liked and respected by his teammates and our opponents.”

School: Downers Grove South Year: Senior

A transfer from St. Laurence, Botsoe stepped right into the Red Devils’ lineup and had a major impact.

The speedy center fielder led Central’s regulars with a .444 batting average, 25 runs scored and 11 extra-base hits (seven doubles, four triples), and he also had 11 stolen bases. A Louisville recruit, Botsoe committed just two errors.

One of the hardest throwers and most fearsome pitchers in the state, Burdi won four games and struck out 57 on the mound, but he was even better in the batter’s box. The University of Iowa recruit and West Suburban Gold all-conference selection powered a potent Mustang offense with a .418 batting average, three home runs and 31 RBIs.

Mike O’Malley School: Downers Grove North Year: Senior The West Suburban Silver all-conference selection took a big step forward in his senior season.

O’Malley finished with a 7-2 record and 1.88 ERA with five complete games, two of which came in the playoffs, including a sectional semifinal win over Downers Grove South.

Mike Papierski School: Lemont Year: Junior Already committed to Louisiana State, this catcher/third baseman was named all-state and South Suburban Blue Conference Player of the Year. The left-handed hitter batted .398 with nine doubles and three home runs and also contributed 34 runs scored and 24 RBIs. In addition, he stole 11 bases, walked 21 times and had just nine strikeouts in 109 plate appearances.

Already committed to the University of Michigan, Donovan led the Sentinels in almost every significant offensive category: average (.488), RBIs (40), home runs (four), triples (seven) and stolen bases (28).

The slick-fielding and strong-armed shortstop was named Interstate Eight all-conference.

School: Downers Grove North Year: Senior A productive leadoff hitter, steady fielder and quiet leader, Kopach was a linchpin of North’s success this season. He led the Trojans in hits (45), batting average (.441), runs (41), walks (18) and stolen bases (15), and tied for the team lead with three home runs. The Southern Illinois-bound shortstop also earned a West Suburban Silver all-conference selection.

The Louisiana State recruit contributed on the mound and at the plate for the Indians. As the ace of the pitching staff, Latz struck out 78 batters in just 44-2/3 innings of work, compiling a 1.88 ERA. Offensively, he hit .411 with seven doubles, two home runs, 21 RBIs and 25 runs scored. He was named to the all-state team.

At the plate, he finished with a .415 average, a .627 slugging percentage, four home runs and 43 RBIs. He picked up five wins on the mound as he earned West Suburban Gold all-conference honors.

Named MVP in the East Suburban Catholic Conference, McInerney hit .381 with eight home runs and 38 RBIs. He went 6-1 on the mound and led the Redwings to a share of the ESCC title. The all-state pick will continue his career at the University of Illinois.

Honorable Mention Benet: Joe Boyle, Joe Giuffre, Connor Hickey, Kevin Jendra, Chris Whelan

Jean Pietrzak

Mike Rizzo

School: Westmont Year: Senior

Nick Sramek

School: Hinsdale South Year: Senior

School: Bolingbrook Year: Senior

After a tough-luck junior season on the mound, Pietrzak got the results he wanted this spring.

The Sentinels’ leader in innings pitched (49.0), he struck out 54 batters and went 7-1 with a 1.22 ERA. The Interstate Eight all-conference selection batted .284 with 26 RBIs, 24 runs and 17 stolen bases.

Rizzo played sparingly as a junior, but stepped up to fill a major role this spring as the Hornets defended their West Suburban Gold conference title. Rizzo played nearly flawless at first base but was even more impressive as South’s No. 1 conference starting pitcher. A vocal leader, Rizzo earned WSG all-conference honors this spring.

Mired in a tough slump much of 2012, Sramek turned it around his senior year. Bound for the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, the rangy center fielder led Bolingbrook’s regulars with a .292 average, 17 RBIs, 20 runs, eight doubles and three home runs and was named SouthWest Suburban Blue all-conference.

Ryan Van Volkenburg School: Lisle Year: Senior A four-year varsity player for the Lions, Van Volkenburg was a key piece to Lisle’s run to the state title this season. At the plate, the Interstate Eight all-conference pick hit .360 with 34 runs scored, 22 RBIs, two homers and 17 stolen bases. On the mound, he went 6-1, which included the Lions’ 2-1 win over Teutopolis in the state semifinal game.

Alex Ventrella School: Lisle Year: Senior With a huge sweeping curve ball and competitive edge on the mound, the lefty ace mowed ’em down all year. The Interstate Eight all-conference pick finished the year 7-1 on the mound with an ERA (0.96) and WHIP (0.88) both under one while striking out 87 in 65.2 innings. He earned the win in the state championship game, surrendering just four hits and an unearned run over five innings.
