By EVAN SHIELDS eshields@shawmedia.com GLEN ELLYN – Glen Ellyn trustees have put a $12 million cap on the cost of building a proposed new police department.

At a board workshop meeting Monday, the trustees received an updated space needs analysis from village officials. Police representatives have told the board they are cramped, and village administrators have been working in recent years on plans for an updated department.

Trustees on Monday looked at four major proposals: renovating the Civic Center with a police addition, building a new

department at Panfish Park, building a combined village hall and police department at Panfish Park and building a combined fire station and police department at Panfish Park.

The least expensive option would be to construct a freestanding police department at Panfish Park, for which estimates totaled $15.8 million.

Trustee Diane McGinley said she wanted to set a budget of $12 million for the project.

“At this point, I would vote no on everything in here because the costs are out of control,” she said.

Board officials, who generally agreed with McGinley’s sentiment, discussed how to

reduce the price tag, including eliminating a proposed firing range, which would cost about $1.1 million.

Deputy Chief Bob Acton said the plan for the Panfish Park department was as parred down as it could be while still providing the best possible services.

Financing the project is in the preliminary phases, but trustees said they would defer capital funds to help pay for part of it.

Village officials hope to renovate the Civic Center if the new department is built in Panfish Park. Village Manager Mark Franz said the goal would be to place customer service offices on the first

To make this happen, the village would have to update the finance department at a cost of $465,538 and the planning and development department at a cost of $689,311.

Plans for building a new village hall were disregarded because of the associated $21.6 million in costs, Assistant Village Manager Al Stonitsch said.

The idea for a combined fire and police building also will not move forward because officials said the fire company’s main station is in good enough condition to be used for several more decades.

By EVAN SHIELDS eshields@shawmedia.com GLEN ELLYN – Paige Schwartz has loved fashion and clothes her whole life. And now, she’s bringing her boutique to Glen Ellyn.

Schwartz recently opened 1 Happy Girl Boutique at 560 Crescent Blvd. in downtown Glen Ellyn.

Schwartz, who is originally from Homer, said her business sells vintage clothing and its own jewelry brand. The store opened Tuesday in coordina-

fornia and did a lot of shopping while she was there. During that time, she was thinking about what she wanted to do after graduation. So she decided to start an online boutique in 2009.

The store eventually grew into a physical location in Lemont, which is still open. She also opened a seasonal store in Saginaw, Mich.

Schwartz said Glen Ellyn was the ideal place for a new shop because of the village’s foot traffic and desire for a boutique.

“The town was just perfect for us,” she said.

But the store doesn’t only rely on foot traffic. Schwartz has a large following online.

About half of her business is done through the Internet – she ships goods across the country – and 1 Happy Girl has more than 13,000 Facebook followers.

“We’ve been very lucky,” she said.

Downtown Alliance Director Carol White said she’s excited about the boutique and expects it will give shoppers a chance for more downtown exploration.

boutique is good for the town,” she said.

The hardest part about opening was the time crunch the business has been under to prepare, Schwartz said. They started moving in 3 ½ weeks ago to be ready for Ladies Night Out. In that time, Schwartz said they had to install new floors, redo the lighting and make other upgrades to the building, such as adding fitting rooms.

“We’re expecting a good amount of people tonight,” she said Tuesday before the opening.

Shields: Other than the deadline, what was the most difficult part about the whole process?

Doyle: I don’t know, this book just really wanted to get written. So it wasn’t that difficult. You do have to deal with a lot of rejection, for sure.

From agents, from publishers.

But I think I’m overall a pretty positive person, so it wasn’t too hard. And I was able to accept the criticism as ways to make it better and ways I can move ahead and keep improving it. I think just the uncertainty is difficult, too. You’re putting yourself out there and you don’t know who’s going to accept it in terms of the agent or the publisher. But it all turned out OK. I’m hoping the readers love it, too.

Shields: Any plans for a third book?

Doyle: Yeah, my agent and I have already talked about it.

I know what my next book is going to be, but I’m not really sharing any details on it yet.

But it is going to be a little darker than this book.

Shields: What was your biggest takeaway from the whole process?

Doyle: It’s going to sound cheesy, but never give up.

This was always my dream, ever since I was a kid, to have my own book published and to see my book on the shelf at the library and to see my book on a shelf at the bookstore. And it’s pretty surreal to think that’s going to happen next weekend. I just can’t wait.

8 Q & A with the Hearing Doctor Why New Can Be Better

Sometimes a patient will come in wearing hearing aids that are four or ive years old reporting that they are still struggling in noise or lack the ability to have wireless connectivity to phones or other devices.

Today, even a four year old hearing aid is considered “old” technology.

Consider how quickly cell phones and computers become more advanced. A cell phone that is four years old is obsolete. he same can be said for hearing aids. While the hearing aids will still work, they may lack what today’s new hearing aids have. Many people using new hearing aid technology are reporting greater

satisfaction when listening in noise, hearing when in windy situations, and hearing and understanding the television and while talking on the telephone. his is a great time to try new hearing aids. All of the advancements in technologies and updates in circuitry are helping those with hearing loss have greater satisfaction with their hearing devices.

Hearing aid manufacturers invest heavily in research and development, which beneits the hearing aid wearer.

Some of today’s hearing aids even work/or connect to other devices with wireless connectivity. his helps people enjoy TV, telephone conversations, and music more.

If you are struggling to hear in certain listening environments, call our oice. We may have an afordable solution to your problem. It is as easy as assessing your hearing levels and talk-ing about new technologies that may improve your communication ability in diferent listening environments. Let us help.

Chicago resident Terrence Steele, 36, was found guilty by jury of heroin possession and sales charges late Friday night.

Steele is the ring’s highest-ranking member to be convicted in relation to an August 2013 drug bust in which 31 people were arrested.

“While Mr. Steele may be the first defendant found guilty of violating our RICO law, I am confident he will not be the last,” said DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin in the release. “This is an important law that will be put to good use as we work to rid our streets of these drug dealers who seek to enrich their lives at the expense of others.”

Awaiting trial on similar charges is Andres Garcia, 26, of Chicago who is the ring’s alleged leader. His next court appearance will be Friday.

Steele is due in court Dec. 12.

Many characteristics help define Glen Ellyn. One of the most obvious is that it is truly the “village of volunteers.” Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, learn a new skill and to make a positive difference in your community. Whether donating a few hours a week or a few hours a year, our volunteers are invaluable.

From inspiring young athletes to play harder, learn a new COMMUNITY sport and display sportsmanVOICE ship to helping nurture our Courtney local natural resources, the O’Kray Glen Ellyn Park District offers opportunities for all ages to get involved, give back and become an integral part of our team.

Programs such as the Gators Swim Club, Golden Eagles Football & Cheerleading, Glen Ellyn Youth Soccer, Lakers Soccer, House League Basketball, Glen Ellyn Youth Baseball and Softball, and the Glen Ellyn Bulldog Lacrosse club are dependent on volunteers to administrate, coach, manage, operate concessions, keep score, maintain fields, formulate schedules and stage events.

From tree planting to litter removal, volunteers in our Adopt-A-Park and Restoration Work Days programs have been critical in caring for, maintaining and restoring our neighborhood parks, including Glen Ellyn Manor Park, Lake Ellyn Park, Maryknoll Park and Stacy Park. These volunteers help to keep our parks looking wonderful yearround.

Additionally, as the Park District improves transparency, volunteer opportunities have expanded. The Citizens Finance Committee, composed of Glen Ellyn residents, is completing its third year. Committee members have provided financial oversight, sharing their years of business experience to ensure fiscal accountability and long-term planning. In 2015, other similar opportunities will become available as advisory committees for Ackerman Sports & Fitness Center and athletics will be formed.

Another outstanding example of volunteerism was the efforts of the Glen Ellyn Indoor Aquatics Initiative. Each member is to be commended for their commitment and selflessness to promote and support a cause for the benefit of the entire community. Members certainly did so with the belief that it was for overall betterment of Glen Ellyn. Through it all, they handled it with professionalism and dignity.

On behalf of the Glen Ellyn Park District, thank you to all who have contributed their time, talents and effort for the benefit of the Park District and the community. Glen Ellyn Park District volunteers are a fantastic asset to our organization. We look forward to working with you in the future.

Cut the ignition I live in Lemont and I was visiting the Lemon Tree around noon Nov. 14. I noticed the vehicle parked a couple of spaces away from my vehicle was a Lemont Police officer’s vehicle. There were several other vehicles there from the police department, but this first vehicle had a plate of 2662. I went in, ordered and I sat down. I noticed the vehicle was there for all of the period of time that I was there.

I left and it was still running and there was nobody in it. The vehicle kept on running. To me that’s not saving any money for the village of Lemont.

Hit the brakes on Berkley I wanted to continue to post about traffic on West Avenue [in Elmhurst]: As a resident on Berkley by St. Charles Road by the high school, we experience traffic and speeders constantly, especially during rush hour.

The police have been notified about this. People like to use Berkley as a shortcut, but it’s still happening. People need to remember it’s a residential area and to slow down.

Thank you for publishing the teachers’ salaries a few weeks ago for School District 68. What we’ve found in our analysis is about one third of the teachers are making more than $90,000 a year. … Not saying they don’t work very hard for their money, but it just puts a lot of pressure on the taxpayers that pay their salaries. ... They’re supposed to be public servants, so we need to somehow in the next negotiations make tiers based on performance. If the students are performing at more than 90th percentile of the state’s criteria, then, obviously, they would earn that salary, but we’re gonna have to adjust the salaries back at least 10 percent in order for the property taxpayers to be able to afford living in Woodridge, Downers Grove and Darien. Our tax bills are astronomical. … We appreciate all you do, but enough is enough. You are indebted to the taxpayers and your salaries must be addressed accordingly.

To the Editor: While school board elections will not be conducted until April, the time for filing petitions is Dec. 15 to 22 – just about one month away.

There will be three seats available on the boards for Glen Ellyn School District 41, Community Consolidated School District 89 and Glenbard High School District 87. There also will be three seats available on the Board of Trustees at College of DuPage.

The procedure for filing has changed this year. Information for filing for positions on the boards of districts 41, 89 and 87 can be found under “School Board Elections” at www.iasb. com. Filing information for College of DuPage can be found on the College of DuPage Board of Trustees page at www.cod. edu – “About COD.” Because education is the foundation of a democracy, the education of the children must be a top priority. But, accountability to the constituents also is important. It is the responsibility of the elected boards of the educational institutions to determine what type of schools will be provided with the funds available. The boards should provide transparency in their meetings, as well as providing for community input.

Now is the time to encourage capable, responsible community members to consider serving in one of these nonpartisan positions. The future of our schools and the community depends on it.

Glen Ellyn grandfather claims $175K from Lombard lottery ticket

Learning about Alice McChesney

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA A winning lottery ticket purchased in Lombard has been claimed by a Glen Ellyn resident, who is now $175,000 richer.

John Mahoney won his thousands while playing Lucky Day Lotto after the numbers on his Quick Pick ticket matched all five numbers – 02, 07, 21, 35, 38 – in the Nov. 7 evening drawing, according to an Illinois Lottery news release.

Mahoney has lived in Glen Ellyn and the surrounding area for 45 years. He has four children, seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, the release stated.

A regular Lucky Day Lotto player, Mahoney said in the release he always plays Quick Pick tickets. He plans to put his winnings in the bank for now while he decides what to do

recognize the pool would benefit very few of us and would hurt many wallets. We reaffirmed it is unfair to take your neighbor’s money against his will.

We studied and wisely decided to avoid another overly ambitious Park District project that risked costing us all more in the long run or cutting into beloved programs and parks.

Some people say we voted against a pool. Actually, we voted for a brighter, debt-free future. We voted to treat our neighbors with respect by lowering their taxes, restoring their freedom to choose how they save or spend their hard-earned money. We voted for greater opportunity and prosperity for all.

We voted to stand up to special interests groups.

Now we move forward. Let’s refocus on what the people of Glen Ellyn want. As was made clear in the Park District’s 2012 community survey, we want to protect and preserve parks and open green space, not ruin them with massive buildings that harm the environment. We want the Park District to stay within budget.

Glen Ellyn Historical Society historian Bob Chambers and member Leland Livingston read a biography compiled by Livingston of local historical figure Alice McChesney at the annual society meeting Nov. 6. Livingston researched McChesney, who was an independent woman and a trailblazer for equal rights, and presented a program titled “Meet Alice McChesney” at the meeting.

So now both in the survey and with our referendum vote, the people of Glen Ellyn have told the Park District and its board what we want – and don’t want.

Rather than creating division and resentment across the community by continuing to push an unpopular project, it’s time for the Park District to listen to the people. The Park District should allow us all to move on and heal.

he holiday season has arrived, and millions of people across the globe will be celebrating Christmas with their families and friends.

The following are some interesting tidbits to share with your loved ones this holiday season.

• Each year, more than three billion Christmas cards are sent in the United States alone.

• In 350 AD, Pope Julius I, bishop of Rome, proclaimed December 25 the official celebration date for the birth of Jesus Christ. Many historians and theologians have surmised that Christ really wasn’t born this time of year, thanks to imagery and information from the Bible.

• Christmas carols began as an English custom called “wassailing.”

Individuals toasted neighbors to a long and healthy life.

• Despite the common tale that three wise men paid homage to baby Jesus, the Bible never specifically calls out a number. Similarly, there’s no specific indication that they visited the infant Jesus. Their visit may have occurred when Jesus was older.

• Santa Claus’ modern look was inspired by writings from The Knickerbockers of New York and imagery from Clement Clarke Moore’s “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” Moore denied authoring the famous poem for 15 years after it was published anonymously, feeling the poem was beneath his talents.

• Santa has his own official postal code. It’s H0 H0 H0.

• The song “Jingle Bells” was originally written for Thanksgiving and not Christmas. People loved it so much that the lyrics were changed to fit Christmas.

• Christmas trees typically grow for 15 years before they’re cut and sold. This means the trees sold today were likely planted in 1999.

• Christmas was not declared an official holiday in the United States until June 26, 1870.

• Before turkey, the traditional Christmas meal served in England was a pig’s head and mustard.

• Male reindeer tend to shed their antlers in the winter. This means Santa’s reindeer are likely female.

• Christ may have been born in a cave rather than a manger. According to the gospel of Luke, the shepherds that helped find shelter for Mary to give birth kept their flock in a cave. The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is built over a cave called the Grotto of the Nativity, where Jesus is believed to have been born.

• Many people may be less inclined to stand under mistletoe waiting for a kiss if they knew what “mistletoe” means in the ancient Germanic language. It literally means “dung on a twig,” for the bird who eats the berries and then leaves seeds in droppings to propagate new plants.

• Each holiday season, PNC Wealth Management calculates the costs of the gifts in the song, “The 12 Days of Christmas.” The price index for the gifts went from $12,673 in 1984 to more than $24,000 in 2011. The most expensive gift is the swimming swans.

The only secret you need to know for successful holiday meal planning

(BPT) - You don't need the juggling skills of a big-top performer in order to host a successful holiday gathering.

Careful planning, time management and an eye for adding quick and easy 'homemade' touches will make your gathering one for the memory books, while still having plenty of time to enjoy the company of your guests. Don't let poor planning leave you cooped up in a hot kitchen while everyone else revels in the joys of the season.

"The secret to holiday meal time-management is simple: Know where to spend and know where to save, without sacrificing the homemade taste" says Victoria Hudgins, an entertaining expert. "Reducing time spent on certain aspects of the meal can allow you to invest more in other areas. For example, instead of spending hours making a homemade dessert, consider a high-quality store-bought pie and some whipped topping to put your own special touches on at home and achieve the homemade look and taste."

What to do with the time you save: Invest in making a main course that will leave guests impressed and full. The extra hour you save on dessert prep could be just enough time to add flare to the turkey, holiday ham or even some knock-out steaks.

Save on appetizers: Appetizers set the tone for the meal, so they need to be appealing. On the other hand, you don't want guests to fill up on them and have no room left for the main course. Keeping appetizers light and simple saves room in guests' tummies and saves you time, too.

Serve simple two-ingredient appetizers or even storebought options to minimize prep time.

What to do with the time you save: Put the time-savings toward more sophisticated side dishes. Along with traditional family favorites like stuffing and mashed potatoes, try something new that might require a bit more prep and longer cooking time, such as a winter squash

Save on topping off your holidays dishes: No one wants to serve dull dishes, and you don't have to spend a lot of time to add pizzazz. Simple touches, like adding Reddi-wip, can transform a variety of dishes. For example, basic eggnog gets a pop of mint flavor and festive color with Reddi-Wip peppermint chocolate egg nog.

A whoosh of topping sprinkled with crushed peppermint candies creates a joyful touch on this jazzed-up holiday favorite. Best of all, adding this real cream goodness is just 15 calories.

What to do with the time you save: Add more pizzazz to holiday decorating. Create a stunning centerpiece for the table featuring holiday items like fresh pine branches, scented pine cones, pillar candles in holiday colors and even Christmas balls. Incorporate festive touches in table settings, such as napkin holders made from a single artificial poinsettia blossom and holiday ribbon, chair covers in holiday patterns, and place card holders made from pine cones.

Save on invitations. Instead of the time and money you would invest in choosing, preparing and mailing paper invitations, use e-invitations instead. It's easy to find free online services that allow you to create and send digital invitations, and many even track responses and maintain an up-to-date guest list.

What to do with the time you save: Perfect your holiday playlist. Holiday music playing in the background can underscore the mood of your holiday event.

With the time you've saved on invitations, you'll have plenty of opportunity to peruse online playlists and find the perfect mix of holiday songs - traditional, instrumental, country or contemporary - to accompany the festivities.

"Getting ready for holiday guests doesn't have to be stressful and time-consuming," Hudgins says. "Substitutions like frozen desserts, additions such as whipped topping, and some smart time management can help you make the most of your prep time, so that you have more precious moments with those you love."

CD • Thursday, November 20, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

Victoria offers these tips on how to balance meal prep time: Save on an already "homemade" dessert: The last course of the meal is your final chance to wow guests, but many of the most impressive holiday desserts are also the most time-consuming to prepare.

You can serve an outstanding dessert with virtually no prep time and without losing the truly homemade taste, thanks to frozen brands like Marie Callender's. Along with the homemade scent and flavor, Marie's starts your 'homemade' pie for you, allowing time to add your own special touches such as sugar cookie cutouts placed on the pie before baking. For additional homemade elements, be sure to choose varieties that have those special touches you would add if you were doing the baking - like handpicked apples and hand-placed chocolate curls.

Holiday Recipe LANDof

‘NOG THIS is how eggnog should taste

By Emily Arno Relish

There seem to be two camps around Christmastime — those who adore eggnog and those who abhor it.

Naturally, we find ourselves on the side of adoration, but with all those soupy, sickeningly sweet variations available on marketplace shelves, we can see the haters’ point.

That’s not eggnog. Real eggnog is rich, velvety and frothed to perfection.

So this year, brew your ‘nog from home and don’t cut corners with cheap brandies or rum. Think of it this way — if you won’t drink it straight, it’ll probably spoil your concoction.

Also keep in mind that spicy eggnog flavorings can easily go beyond the mug.

Integrate leftovers into our cleverly delicious Eggnog Spice Bundt Cake.

Holiday Eggnog Yields 7 cups • 6 whole eggs • 2 egg yolks • 1 cup granulated sugar • 4 t sea salt • 3 cups whole milk • 1 T vanilla extract • 1 to 2 cup bourbon whiskey • 1 to 2 t freshly ground nutmeg • 1 cup heavy cream • 4 cup vanilla sugar (or plain granulated sugar) Combine eggs, egg yolks, sugar and salt in a heavy-bottom sauce pot. Whisk until smooth, then stir in milk.

Cook and stir over low heat until custard is cooked to about 165F, or until thick

Sage Kitchen + Bar brunch is perfect treat

My friend’s only regret about her skillet was she couldn’t finish it. The crispy breakfast potatoes with warm soft centers were just too filling.

The chilaquiles did not disappoint. We chose to top off the mixture with a pair of scrambled eggs. The light, fluffy eggs paired excellently with the pulled pork and queso fresco.

While I liked the red salsa, my

personal taste preference was the tangy salsa verde.

The brunch menu, offered from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, includes sweet dishes such as strawberry cheesecake French toast served with fresh berries, creme anglaise and whipped cream. There’s a full selection of morning cocktails, and our server told us the house Bloody Mary is handmade with the restaurant’s own recipe. Specialty Lavazza coffee drinks also are featured.

We stopped in on a Saturday, but on Sundays, a pianist plays the sleek baby grand tucked in the corner from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, live jazz and other entertainment starts at 7 p.m.

BOLINGBROOK – It was a crisp autumn morning when my friend and I walked into Sage Kitchen + Bar in Bolingbrook.

The warmth of the restaurant was welcome after the chilly air, and the sun shone through tall windows along the walls of the attractive, contemporary space.

We read the menu, debating what we should have for brunch. With some friendly advice from our server, we made our picks.

My friend took advantage of the build-your-own skillet option, choosing to top her breakfast potatoes with spinach, cheddar, portobello mushrooms and the crowning touch of a pair of sunny-sideup eggs.

Other possible toppings included bacon, bell peppers, goat cheese, red onions, Tasso ham, tomatoes, avocado, andouille, chicken and turkey. Any of these also can be tossed into a custom omelette.

I went for the Sage breakfast sandwich, a pretzel flatbread loaded with scrambled eggs, bacon, spicy mayo and avocado. I chose breakfast potatoes on the side, but Parmesan fries are another option.

We also had to try the chilaquiles. The bowl of corn tortilla chips tossed with black beans, roasted corn, queso fresco, pulled pork and eggs any style sounded too good to pass up. Our server asked if we’d like salsa verde or red salsa but kindly accommodated our request to have both on the side.

As we chatted about our weekend plans, the shops at The Promenade tempted us from just beyond the windows. Our server stopped by to make sure we didn’t need anything else while we waited for our brunch, which fueled us for the rest of the day.

My Sage breakfast sandwich tasted delicious. The pretzel flatbread was a favorite part of the meal, lending so much to the bacon and egg classic combo. As for the spicy

Jackie Gould - For Shaw Media

Glenbard West’s Sam Brodner tries to break a tackle Saturday during their IHSA state playoff game against Barrington at Glenbard West.

Clash of the titans Highly touted Glenbard West, Stevenson face off in semifinals

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com GLEN ELLYN – Illinois high school football observers were salivating over a potential Glenbard West-Stevenson matchup ever since the Class 8A playoffs brackets were revealed.

And now that showdown between unbeaten teams is set for 1 p.m. Saturday at Duchon Field with a berth in the state championship game on the line. Simeon and Homewood-Flossmoor make up the other 8A semifinal.

“Obviously they (Stevenson) are a great football team,” Glenbard West coach Chad Hetlet said. “They’ve been everyone’s No. 1 ranked team in the state and a lot of people

have been looking forward to this matchup. We’ve got to play our best game and play mistake free football to compete with Stevenson.”

Hilltoppers quarterback Kyle Kramer actually goes to the same QB coach as Stevenson signal-caller Willie Bourbon.

“We obviously haven’t played them before but we are very excited,” Kramer said.

“It’s thrilling, it’s awesome, this is what we’ve been working for. I’m so glad we could reach this point.”

For a while last Saturday, it didn’t look like Glenbard West was going to get past its quarterfinal matchup with Barrington. The Hilltoppers faced a 14-point deficit at halftime before scoring 21 unanswered

points over the final 24 minutes to prevail 28-21.

A 41-yard touchdown run by Sam Brodner sliced the deficit in half late in the third quarter, and after Jeremy Pope recovered the ensuing kickoff, he ran it in for a 22-yard score, tying the game.

“We executed in the second half the way we needed to execute,” Brodner said. “It worked out well for us and we’re blessed to be in this situation.”

The game-winning TD then came on a 20-yard screen pass from Kramer to Donahvon Vaughn. Kramer also connected with Michael Darnell for a 50-yard score in the first half.

Barrington had one final opportunity with the ball but its drive into Glenbard West territory ended on a fumble re-

covery by Declan Ryan.

“I was running to the ball and saw it come out,” Ryan said.

“And I knew I had to get the ball to help us get off the field.

“I would say we didn’t start fast – so much credit to Barrington, they came out so physical, so fast. We came out of halftime with a lot of fire. We made some adjustments and played at another level physically.

Now Ryan and his teammates get another chance at a home semifinal contest after losing to Lake Zurich 16-7 last fall.

“I remember last year and playing the semifinal on our field against Lake Zurich and we lost,” Ryan said. “We have to have the best week of practice we’ve ever had. We have to get to work.”

of the top couple of teams in the state throughout the fall, Stevenson has lived up to that billing with a perfect 12-0 mark. After notching close wins against Lyons and Loyola to start the postseason, the Patriots defeated New Trier 38-10 in the quarterfinals.

Glenbard West has matched Stevenson’s undefeated mark and enter the game following a 28-21 come-from-behind win over Barrington, the Hilltoppers’ fifth over teams from the Mid-Suburban West conference in the last two playoffs.

By JAY SCHWAB jschwab @shawmedia.com NORMAL – St. Francis girls volleyball coach Peg Kopec was musing about Mix it up at Lunch Day at St. Francis, in which students are encouraged to sit at different lunch tables than usual to interact with new people.

She spoke in the context of a different postseason path that allowed the Spartans to meet Joliet Catholic in Saturday’s IHSA Class 3A state championship match rather than in sectional play, but the cafeteria imagery is versatile for the Spartans’ volleyball program, which continues to take everyone’s lunch money throughout the state.

The Spartans powered past the Angels 25-18, 25-23 to win their third straight 3A state

St. Francis’ Sarah Muisenga celebrates a point Saturday during the IHSA girls volleyball class 3A championship game at Illinois State University’s Redbird Arena in Normal. championship and 11th state title under Kopec.

Spartans senior Sarah Muisenga said she had no question St. Francis would finish the job

Saturday when she walked into Redbird Arena.

“No. I could feel it,” said Muisenga, who supplied consecutive kills to open the second set. “Everyone was just so pumped and excited.”

Junior outside hitter Molly Haggerty, the Spartans’ most intimidating player, came to the team’s rescue when the second set tightened late. Haggerty drilled kills to put the Spartans ahead 24-22 and then to close out the championship after the Angels inched within 24-23.

Haggerty considers each year of the Spartans’ three-year reign distinctly delightful.

“Last year obviously was really special playing with my sister and winning with Maddie,” said Haggerty, who eventually will follow Maddie Haggerty to play collegiately

St. Francis volleyball wins Class 3A title

at Nebraska. “And then this year for sure, winning with all the seniors. … I love them, I’ve known them since I was young, and especially Mary Boken.

We’ve played together since we were 12 and that was our last game ever playing together, so this was definitely a big game and it meant a lot.”

St. Francis (38-4) roared to an 8-1 lead to open the match, and Joliet Catholic (25-17) came no closer than four points the rest of the first set.

Haggerty led the Spartans with nine kills while Boken and Kamryn Malloy added eight apiece. Boken, a four-year varsity player and Clemson recruit, gushed about her experience in the program, which included four state medals, beginning with a third-place finish as a freshman.

“I could not be any more

grateful that I have been a part of this program,” Boken said.

“Every one of my teammates throughout the years and all of my coaches have really shaped me as a person. When I was a freshman, I rarely talked, I really didn’t know what I was doing, I was really timid, and now I’m a totally different person.”

Daniele Messa notched 28 of St. Francis’ 30 assists, and Haggerty (seven digs) and Malloy (six digs) demonstrated their versatility with solid defense.

Breese Mater Dei, the Spartans’ semifinal victim Friday in a three-setter, won third place over Montini.

The Spartans project to be bumped up to Class 4A next year as the IHSA implements its new success factor.

Safe to say the rest of Class 3A wouldn’t mind the Spartans strutting into a new cafeteria.

St. Francis rides second quarter outburst into semis Area girl

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com WHEATON – The last time St. Francis’ football team made it to the state semifinals, the season culminated with a state title in 2008.

The Spartans are back in the state semis following a 4114 win against Hinsdale South in a Class 6A quarterfinal, but Clint Bobowski and his teammates aren’t looking at a state berth yet, even though they are on the cusp.

“It means a lot,” Bobowski said. “It’s been a while since we’ve been this far, but we’re not satisfied. It’s a great accomplishment to get through the quarterfinals, but we just want one more each week.”

St. Francis (10-2) scored four second-quarter touchdowns to pull away from the Hornets.

Steven Fassnacht opened the scoring with a 9-yard run early in the first quarter, then Bobowski tossed touchdown passes to Matt Hanson, Tom Petrando and Chris Smith in the second quarter as the Spartans led 34-7 at intermission.

Making it to the semifinals, where St. Francis will face off against a high-powered Nazareth team that won the East

Suburban Catholic Conference, is an accomplishment in itself. Doing so in Mike Fitzgerald’s first year as head coach is even more impressive.

“We tell our kids all the time, ‘If you want things to happen, you have to believe in it,’” Fitzgerald said. “I think a lot of people on the outside might be surprised, but they don’t realize how hard these kids have worked and how committed they were in the offseason.

“Something like this isn’t just a fluke. It doesn’t just happen. It’s a lot of hard work the kids put into it, and it’s a testament to what they’ve done to get here.”

Four Nazareth offensive lineman have Division I offers, plus a few skill players are drawing college interest. The Spartans may not have that amount of next-level talent, but they do have solid senior leadership setting the tone.

“We have a very talented senior class who have been playing together for a long time, and it’s been their goal [to get here], but they’re not satisfied,” Fitzgerald said. “They want to keep going and keep getting better each week.”

n OUTLOOK: Having faced a

challenging schedule this fall, this will be the ultimate test for St. Francis. Nazareth is ex-

tremely talented on both sides of the ball but especially on offense where the Roadrunners have scored 42 or more points in nine games this fall.

The Spartans are also explosive out of their spread offense, one that is bolstered by the return of running back Steven Fassnacht from injury.

swimmers head to state SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Saturday turned out to be a special day for the Glenbard South/West co-op girls swimming team, which had three relays and two individuals qualify for the IHSA state meet.

The squad, which set five new varsity records, finished in third place at the event, compiling 203 points, just 11 away from runner-up York.

Downers Grove North (229) was the champion.

The 200-yard freestyle relay team of Annabel Davis, Paige Lay, Katie Armstrong and Vicky Reese was second in 1:37.57 and that same grouping, in a different order, also was second in the 400 free relay at 3:36.47. The 200 medley relay quartet of Lay, Hera Miao, Annie Meyers and Davis placed third with a qualifying time of 1:48.23.

Lay advanced in the 100 free after touching the wall in 52.52 and Miao also moved on in the 100 breaststroke with a clocking of 1:07.27.
