By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Seeking to move forward with its master facilities plan, Hinsdale High School District 86 is bringing in community members to review the plan and help make a recommendation on facilities projects to the district’s school board this summer.

Volunteers learned about the process during a kickoff meeting Feb. 12 at Hinsdale South High School, lead by the architecture and construction firm ARCON Associates.

Volunteers will make up functional teams that will each look at a different area of the district’s master facilities plan adopted in 2011.

Teams include district administration, building administration, career technology administration, student support services, site, infrastructure and safety-security, classroom space, library, P.E./drivers ed/athletics, science, arts, IT, special education, building circulation, community utilization of facilities, sustainability and greenery and cafeteria.

The teams will gather information to see if the master plan needs to be updated.

evaluate the recommendations and host an open community workshop.

The teams will take the feedback from the steering committee and evaluate the information again in April before making their final recommendation in time for another community workshop in May. The steering committee will come up with a facilities budget in June, prioritizing the projects and present it to the board of education by August.

Huck said the timeline could change, but he would still like to get a majority of the work done before the end of the school year.

“The goal is to get as much done as we can before the teachers are gone for the summer,” he said. “They’re a resource for us [in information gathering].”

Jill Pachicano, who attended the Thursday meeting, said she has two daughters who graduated from the district.

“I feel they got an excellent education,” she said. “I would like to support the district to make sure it will always be an excellent education system.”

John Delaney, who will be leading one of the teams, said it is important to get perspective from community members without children in the district.

Sometimes parents will make recommendations based on what they would like to see for their children rather than what is financially practical, he said.

Ann Mueller brings perspective as a former teacher and Community Consolidated School District 181 Board member.

“You want the best facility for what you can afford,” she said. “Affordability is a sensitive issue in our community.”

Baldinelli Pizza celebrates grand opening

By MATTHEW HENDRICKSON mhendrickson@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – They may be at a new location, but it’s still the same old Baldinelli’s that Hinsdale residents have been ordering pizzas from for 25 years.

The Distasio family has been running Baldinelli Pizza – Hinsdale’s oldest pizza joint – since July 2013 when they took it over from a family friend. In October 2014, they moved the restaurant from its previous location at 32 E. Hin-

sdale Ave. to it’s current location at 114 S. Washington St. According to owner Tom Distasio, the new Baldinelli Pizza location features seating for 35, a banquet room that can accommodate guests for large events, a bigger emphasis on the restaurant’s gelato and Italian ice offerings and a new brick oven for “old world”style pizzas, in addition to the traditional Baldinelli’s pizza Hinsdale residents have come to love.

“We wanted to expand and also bring in a place [for cus-

Previously, Baldinelli’s pizzas were available for carry-out and delivery only.

“Now you can sit down and get a pizza fresh right out of the oven,” Tom Distasio said.

“If the kids want a [traditional style] cheese pizza, we can do that, but the parents can order an old world-style for themselves if they want something different.”

The restaurant also now offers a number of seafood dish-

Vince Distasio, Tom’s son and the manager of Baldinelli Pizza, said that giving customers a place to sit down and eat in the restaurant has been good for business.

“It’s opened up a new customer base for us,” Vince Distasio said. “People never really knew we had gelato before, but now it’s right out there. Even in this cold weather [sales have] been fantastic.”

Tom Distasio believes it’s the quality of the food that has brought their old customers to the new location, in addition

“Everything is fresh; nothing is frozen,” Tom Distasio said. “We make everything in house. We make our own Italian beef, we stuff our own Italian sausage, our meatballs are all homemade. Everything is made right there for you.”

Residents chip in to help buy land for forest preserve

By DIANE KRIEGER SPIVAK editorial@mysuburbanlife.com HINSDALE – Residents of Hinsdale’s Timberlake subdivision can breathe a sigh of relief, thanks to a cooperative effort between 22 homeowners and the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County.

The homeowners chipped in their own cash to make up a $40,000 shortfall so the District could buy 9 acres of land adjacent to their neighborhood near Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve. The sale closed Jan. 29.

Residents of the unincorporated residential development have been concerned for years that the property, which is 50 percent watershed, would be developed. The forest preserve district had designated the parcel east of Western Avenue and north of 87th Street as instrumental to its long-term plans.

“The neighbors didn’t want development there,” said District 3 Commissioner Linda Painter, who spearheaded the effort. Painter is also a resident of Timberlake. “The seller would not come below $250,000. We’re not allowed by law to pay more than the fair market value, which was $210,000, because that’s taxpayers’ money.”

Painter went door-to-door to collect

Residents of Hinsdale’s Timberlake subdivision chip in to raise $40,000 to buy a 9-acre parcel of land near Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve to donate to the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County. the $40,000, which was donated to the Friends of the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, a nonprofit organization.

“They made the donation in a special fund strictly for the purchase of that land. It’s a win-win for everybody,” Painter said.

She added the residents who donated will get a tax break.

“It sets the bar high and shows that a community can work with a public entity for the good of everybody,” Painter said.

“It’s a great opportunity,” said

Adam Cyze, a resident who built his home in Timberlake eight years ago and who has owned property in the area for more than 20 years. “It shows that working with the forest preserve we were able to acquire property to ensure future generations can enjoy it.”

Cyze looked at the successful effort as a model for future land acquisitions.

“If you get a bunch of people and show them what you’re going to do, I think they’re likely to be more accepting of it,” he said. “It was really nice Linda took the reins and explained it to

everybody and was able to get it done.”

Tom Both, a 13-year resident, said residents had been lobbying one way or another to stop development and get the property into the hands of the forest preserve since he’s lived there.

“The effort started even before that,” Both said. “It created a great deal of uncertainty in the neighborhood. It’s unsuitable for building, but a number of developers were dead set on developing it.”

Both said development would have been out of character with the area.

“We’d been talking about various ways among ourselves how we could get it, and now that there was an opportunity, it was like, “Yes! We’re just really relieved to finally have it in good hands,” Both said.

Painter said residents would continue their work to better the area as well.

“We can’t put trails through wetlands but we’re going to clean it up,” Painter said. There’s a lot of garbage there so we’ll have a community cleanup in the spring.”

The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County Board officially thanked the Timberlake residents at its meeting Feb. 10 and planned to recognize their contributions by adding their names to the brass giving tree in the lobby of district’s headquarters in Wheaton.

By Diane Krieger Spivak Thanks to advances in cancer treatment more people than ever are surviving cancer. The result, according to the Association of Community Cancer Centers, has been a need to move from palliative care to long-term cancer survivorship and a survivorship care plan to see that survivors’ health, psychological and social needs are being met.

According to the National Cancer Institute there were more than 12.6 million cancer survivors in the United States in 2009. Of those, more than 2 million were longer-term survivors of at least 20 years.

A survivorship care plan is a document to be provided to a cancer survivor which summarizes his or her diagnosis, treatment, associated short- and long-term toxicities, expected course of recovery, signs of late effects or recurrence, follow-up plan and information to support the survivor through potential complications. In short, it details the patient’s cancer history and a recommended follow-up plan.

MEDICAL EXPENSES could be important deductions for 2014. Since our out-of-pocked medical costs keep rising (and our incomes are less due to lower interest rates), you should check your expenses, including: • Medicare insurance and the drug premium • Insurance premiums - paid by you (after, not pretax) or deducted from your pension and Cobra costs • Non reimbursed medical and especially dental costs • prescription drugs • hearing aids and batteries • medical mileage @ 23.5 cents/mile • long-term care insurance

JUDI STRAUSS, E.A.

According to ACCC oncologists who were trained in long-term effects of cancer were twice as likely to discuss survivorship care. Additionally, primary care physicians who were given survivorship cancer plans by those oncologists were nine times as likely to discuss survivorship care with their patients.

In 2006 the Institute of Medicine issued a report recommending that every cancer patient receive an individualized survivorship care plan that includes guidelines for monitoring and maintaining their health. In 2012 the Commission on Cancer began requiring accredited cancer centers to include an SCP and treatment summary for each patient by 2015.

Today there are several care plans available to improve survivors’ quality of life post-cancer treatment. Some of those plans are: What’s Next? Life after Cancer Treatment, Journey Forward, Prescription for Living, American Society of Clinical Oncology Cancer Treatment Summaries and LIVESTRONG Care Plan.

Cancer survivors should talk to their doctor about what plan may be right for them.

OAK BROOK – Interested in getting a better idea of what the Oak Brook Police Department does on a daily basis?

You can learn at the 2015 Citizen’s Police Academy class, which will begin in March at the Oak Brook Police Department, 1200 Oak Brook Road.

Classes for the program will begin March 4 and meet every Wednesday evening through May 6. Classes will begin at 6 p.m. and run through 8:30 p.m. A graduation ceremony will be hosted March 6 at the conclusion of the classes, which will include dinner and a video presentation.

Attendees of the program will learn the practices, policies and procedures of officers in the Oak Brook Police Department. Topics that will be covered include support services and community programs, Illinois vehicle code, driving under the influence enforcement, criminal law, case law, evidence collection, SWAT functions, defensive tactics and what officers look for during traffic stops.

OAK BROOK – An argument over gas money led to two men being arrested and charged with battery and theft, according to the Oak Brook Police Department.

Police received a report of a fight at 8:27 p.m. Feb. 11 in the area of Route 83 and Interstate 88, according to reports.

When officers responded to the scene they found a 29-year-old Chicago man in the roadway in need of medical attention.

The man told police that, while traveling in a vehicle with two other men, they got into a fight over gas money. The vehicle stopped near I-88 and all three men got out of the vehicle. The 29-year-old man said the other two men then attacked him; beating him in the head and body with a stick and then robbing him of a cellphone and money, according to police.

Autism center looks at family as a whole The experience of having a child with a disability is something that only one who has walked in those shoes can truly understand. Trying to understand the diagnosis and what it really means for your child, as well as your family, can be an overwhelming experience. And it is a journey.

Throughout this journey, COMMUNITY parents, caregivers and other family members can expeVOICE rience ups and downs filled Kathy with joy, fun, pride, happiness, Ruffulo encouragement, frustrations, sadness, grief, confusion and stress. These feelings are universal to those who have a child with a disability in their family – including the child as well as moms, dads, grandparents, siblings, and others in their circle of support.

At Charlie’s Gift, our mission is to support the family as a whole through a family-center approach. In order to bring this more fully to life, the Family Enrichment Program has been designed as a means of bringing family members (and others who are members of the circle of support for the family) together in situations that promote education, networking, sharing resources, learning from each other and obtaining resources and support.

The Family Enrichment Program is led by Carla Oldham, a professional in the field of disabilities, but most importantly, the mother of a teenage son with autism. Carla brings parents and family members together through Coffee and Conversation, a monthly networking, support and education group.

Topics are discussed and informal conversations are facilitated with the focus being on building supportive relationships, sharing information, and sharing the journey of being involved in the life of a child on the autism spectrum.

Another part of The Family Enrichment Program is Sibshops, a program nationally known for the opportunity to bring the brother and sisters of children with special needs together to meet, play, learn and support each other. Carla hosts these Sib events on a monthly basis for children 6 and older.

The team at Charlie’s Gift – known for providing speech, occupational, behavioral therapy and counseling, as well as social development groups – sees the Family Enrichment Program as a perfect complement to the services already being provided. Seeing parents and siblings come together to meet, learn from, and support each other is a wonderful experience.

It is the greatest gift we can give to them.

For additional information about Charlie’s Gift (a program of The Community House), call 630-810-1200.

Just a few months before renovations were scheduled to start at Central Park in Oak Brook, the park district’s $400,000 state grant was put on hold. No reason was provided for the state’s decision to withhold the money. Park district officials sound optimistic that funding will eventually come through. In the meantime, however, Butler School District 53, which has been without a playground since June 2013, will have to wait for the playground equipment the park district promised to donate after the renovation.

A tip of the halo and a pat on the back to Mr. Schiller and his wonderful Public Works crew in Berwyn for the great job of snow removal, but a note to the Police Department: You’ve got to do something about the horrific traffic problems at each of the schools when school is out.

Even without the snow, it’s a terrible, terrible traffic mess.

a President Roosevelt, Eisenhower or Reagan might have responded to such murders. Immediate carpet bombing of manufacturing centers and terrorist enclaves is a good guess. With today’s technology, enhanced security and pinpoint retaliatory capability, a terrorist group would be certain of self-destruction, ordered by presidents who cared more about the safety of American citizens than political correctness.

Start COD building name petition I just read the article from the person who suggested that the Homeland Security Education Center at COD be named after Sgt. Robert Miller, who was a Medal of Honor recipient, instead of the outgoing president. I wish that person would initiate a petition and get publicity on that. He or she should call back in and tell people where to go to sign this petition.

It’s a worthy reason to change the name.

Too much focus on polls

Snow removal past Cass Avenue

Our political campaigns have become too expensive and much too long. There is some value for the voter in the televised debates. At least we can learn what positions the candidates have on certain issues. But the TV media does focus too much on polls and pollsters. It can always find a poll somewhere that will support its agenda, and then it becomes the news. Is everyone watching?

Westmont snow removal wasn’t that much better than Downers Grove.

They spend most of their time going up and down Cass Avenue in downtown Westmont. Sure, Cass Avenue is clear down to the pavement. But drive down the side streets a day or two after the snowstorm. You’re lucky if the plow went through once. I know people who live on the south side of town and whose streets were not plowed for a couple of days.

Don’t give Westmont that much credit unless you only drive through downtown Westmont on Cass Avenue.

Why do people feel compelled to denigrate other religions and then wonder why there are consequences to their actions? Freedom of speech means you “can,” but does it mean you “should”?

Where is the humor in mocking any religion, whether it be through political cartoons comparing Mohammed to a dog, “Saturday Night Live”-type programs making fun of Muslims and Christians, so-called “artistic” displays placing Christ immersed in urine, protesters making a mockery of religious rites for fallen servicemen at cemeteries, etc.?

Wouldn’t the world be a better place if all of us recognized how sacred each individual religion is to the followers of that religion?

What happened to the children of Jackie Robinson West is shameful. Those children played their best. They did everything they were supposed to do.

The adults let them down! I hope those coaches are banned from ever coaching again. To them, it was more important to win than show the boys that honesty and integrity are what counts. Imagine the hurt the coaches have caused these boys. I just hope the boys can see this for what it is and not let it destroy their hopes and dreams.

Music comforts DuPage Convalescent residents

nlurz@shawmedia.com WHEATON – Sometimes a song can make a world of difference.

Residents of the DuPage County Convalescent Center get serenaded by songs ranging from “Bicycle Built for Two” to “Count on Me” by Bruno Mars by the center’s music therapist, Brenda Buchanan.

Buchanan said she was driven into the field after seeing the joy it brought her mother when she was hospitalized several years ago.

She has spent two hours with a wide variety of residents – including some of its lowest-functioning adults, Alzheimer’s patients and those with Parkinson’s – each Thursday and Friday since she was hired in September 2014.

The longtime church organist and Schaumburg resident approaches each resident with the same enthusiasm as the last, trying to engage each of them personally. For those who can, she fills hands with maracas, drums and other noisemakers.

For many who can’t, she goes around to each individual, dances with them, sings their favorite songs, asks them questions and tries to give them

The latest DuPage County consolidation effort may funnel some much-needed cash into the hands of the county fairgrounds.

County Board Chairman Dan Cronin confirmed the county was looking at dissolving the DuPage Fair and Exposition Authority.

The organization is charged with receiving and distributing annual payments from the Illinois Department of Agriculture to the DuPage Fair Association to put on the five-day summer county fair.

Cronin said the authority was an unnecessary layer of government.

“I always was prepared to dissolve the authority, but we wanted to make sure there was a clearer picture about the condition of the buildings and what the future of the fair might be,” he said.

The fair association’s lease for the grounds is up in 2020, which has led county officials to look into what they should do with the property and fair.

The county recently received a report detailing suggestions for the future of the fairgrounds as well as more than 300

Jim Zay County Board member

building code violations on its grounds.

Many of the violations have already been addressed, DuPage County Fair Association Treasurer Jim McGuire said in January, but work remained.

Should the authority be dissolved, the fair association would likely receive about $240,000 the authority had in reserves as well as be the $204,000 the authority receives from the Department of Agriculture each year.

County Board member Jim Zay publicly brought up the idea during a Feb. 10 County Board meeting after speaking to Cronin about it, Zay said.

“We’re the only county in the state that has a fair authority and a fair association, every other county has a fair association,” he said. “So why do we need that extra layer? We don’t.”

SCHNEIDER IS HIRING TRUCK DRIVERS!

Mike Formento, chairman of the authority, said he supported shutting down the body.

Originally, the authority was set up in the 1980s to be a watchdog of sorts over the money, eventually take over the fair and also eventually accumulate money for future real estate development.

The real estate angle never developed, the association remains in control of the fair and Formento said he believed the association could serve as its own check and balance.

“We served our purpose,” he said.

“We have very, very limited funds on hand, which should be used now to assist in making whatever improvements need to be done at the fairgrounds themselves.”

The seven members of the fair authority are unpaid.

Cronin said the issue had been a concern for years, and it was time for a serious look. He said he believed a 2013 state law giving the board the ability to eliminate 13 local government entities extended to the authority. The county had previously dissolved a fire protection district in spring 2014.

“We’ve been concerned about the buildings and the economic viability of the fair as it currently exists for some time now – it all seems to be coming together,” he said.

He believed the board could take action as soon as August after ensuring the county or association could still receive the state funds.

While he hoped the fair could continue, Formento said he wasn’t sure if the Department of Agriculture would continue its funding because of the state’s economic problems.

Should that dry up, the fact the association’s lease was up soon may not matter as it would be hard to continue the fair in its current form.

“It would be regrettable to see the fair go away, but like all things that may end up being the alternative that may be available,” he said.

LETTERS the leadership of Skoda and the current board majority, is it any surprise that we have a huge deficit forecast for the current fiscal year? Additionally, Skoda’s negotiation team led our schools to the brink of a strike in fall 2014 when they refused to work with teachers and reach common ground. In District 86’s 130-year existence there has never been a call to strike. Staff morale remains at an all-time low.

This is the state of our high schools today. Is this why you moved here? Are we better off with Skoda involved in District 86? Resoundingly, no! End the Skoda era in District 86. Vote [for Planson, Carpenter and Hirsman] on April 7th.

Before the upcoming District 86 School Board election, ask yourself, is our district better off with Richard Skoda?

Skoda is board majority president and candidate for re-election to a fifth term.

Over the past two years, scores of valued educators, administrators and staff have fled District 86. Two more employee groups are unionizing. Noneducational expenditures have skyrocketed, including hefty increases in legal and recruiting fees, payments to a political crony placed in an interim post, printing and mailing fees for misleading flyers and settlement fees for a dismissed lawsuit, to name just a few.

Skoda’s contributions don’t end there.

Don’t forget District 86 was the only district in Illinois to pass a 0 percent tax levy increase in 2013, costing the district

OBITUARIES JAMES E. CLARK Retired Chief James E. Clark, 86, died peacefully on February 8, 2015, with Ruth and Jeffrey holding his hands after a valiant 6-week battle for life.

He was a former Elmhurst resident for 40 years where in 1965 he joined the Yorkfield Fire Department as a volunteer. He was promoted to Lieutenant in charge of Personnel Training in 1970. Jim had three careers and loved each one: 21 years with the CTA as a Switchman and then Yard Foreman, 21 years with the Village of Oak Brook Fire Department as Fireman, Lieutenant, Head of Inspections Bureau and from 1977 to 1988 as Fire Chief and Building Commissioner, and 21+ years as President of Metro Paramedic Services, a division of Superior Ambulance.

He worked diligently to have the Smoke Alarm Bill passed for the State of Illinois and was with Governor James Thompson in Springfield when the Bill was passed into law. Jim was so proud of that accomplishment. The Village of Oak Brook won the Fire Prevention Award for consecutive years due to the efforts of all the firemen, inspectors and officers of the Oak Brook Fire Department. Jim was President of the Metropolitan Fire Chiefs Association, a devoted member of the DuPage Fire Chiefs Association, President of the Illinois Fire Chiefs Educational and Research Foundation, President and 35-year member of the Illinois Fire Chiefs Association, and Member of the International Association of Fire Chiefs.

Sanguinetti, Cronin to lead consolidation task force

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com Government consolidation, DuPage style, may be coming to counties across the state.

Gov. Bruce Rauner signed Executive Order 15-15 to form the new Local Government Consolidation and Unfunded Mandate Task Force headed by Wheaton resident and Lt. Gov. Evelyn Pacino Sanguinetti during a news conference Feb. 13 at the DuPage Water Commission in Elmhurst.

Rauner called it an “exciting step towards turning our state around.”

“We need to encourage the streamlining of local governments and of school districts to reduce costs and be good stewards of taxpayer dollars,” he said. “The [task force] will get the conversation started on how to streamline [and] end duplicative services and improve efficiency.”

Rauner previously has praised consolidation efforts in DuPage, most notably in his State of the State address Feb. 4.

DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin, who said he will play a leadership role in the task force, spoke at the news conference, calling DuPage a laboratory for consolidation. The county projects more than $100 million in savings from its Accountability, Consolidation and Transparency Initiative, which Cronin started in 2010.

While Cronin said the county’s approach to consolidation isn’t one size fits all, he believes its principles could be transferred statewide.

“Imagine the savings if we could repeat that success story in 100 other counties throughout Illinois,” Cronin said.

Rauner said the government contraction would have to come without compromising the important services local districts provide.

The governor’s order came just days before he presented his budget proposal to the General Assembly in the face of massive debt and reve-

Hinsdale South learns lesson against Oak Park-River Forest

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com

Hinsdale South Barret Benson perfectly summed up what transpired when Hinsdale South’s boys basketball team hosted Oak Park-River Forest on Tuesday.

“They started out really aggressive and we backed up, and that set the tone for the rest of the game,” Benson said.

The Hornets committed seven first-quarter turnovers against OPRF’s pressure defense, couldn’t prevent the Huskies’ long-distance sharpshooting, and eventually fell 70-44.

By the end of the first quarter, South (13-13) trailed 22-8 and the deficit swelled to 43-18 by halftime. OPRF shot 17-of-28 from the field in the first half, including 9-of-14 on 3-pointers.

“Their pressure and them hitting some shots put us into some positions we did not handle well,” South head coach Brett Moore said.

Benson led South with 14 points, and Sean McCormack had 10 points. Brian Kern added eight points for the Hornets, who at the very least learned some lessons from the loss.

“Just take away that now we know how we have to play to beat really good teams,” Benson said. “It’s good experiBill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com ence. It’s a bad loss, but you’ve got to learn from things like Hinsdale Central’s Jordan Bradshaw goes up for a layup Feb. 13 in road game against Lyons Township. The Red Devils mounted a comeback from a sluggish first half but lost 51-38. that.”

HSL

LA GRANGE – Matt Rafferty’s absence hurts Hinsdale Central’s boys basketball team in a number of ways, but the most evident for now is scoring.

The Red Devils have struggled to score without their injured senior star. Until Tuesday’s 55-52 win against Downers Grove North, Central had scored less than 50 points in four straight games, all without Rafferty and all losses. In the 18 games Rafferty played this season, they failed to score 50 three times and all three of those were wins.

The fourth game in the losing streak was a 51-38 loss in front of a full house in La Grange to rival Lyons Township. The next day the Lions wrapped up the West Suburban Silver title.

“Defensively we were good, we played extremely hard, but the ball wasn’t going in, especially early,” Central coach Nick Latorre said. “I was not disappointed with the shot selection. Of course every game you’re going to be disappointed in a few of them, but I would say for the most part we got quality looks, we got second chance opportunities, we got some offensive rebounds, but they weren’t falling.”

The Red Devils fell behind 13-2 to start the game and a Jordan Bradshaw 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer was the team’s only points of the second quarter. An 11-0 run in the third quarter got Central back in the game, but the Red Devils got no closer than three points.

George Kiernan scored a game-high 17 points in the loss.

“I thought every one of our guys played well,” Latorre said. “We competed from start to finish. It was a good effort.

It’s not easy to play an environment like that. We’re not

used to playing with over 4,000 or 5,000 people. ... Hopefully that will be helpful to us going into the state playoffs.”

Against Downers Grove North, the Red Devils (18-6, 7-4 West Suburban Silver) got 23 points from Kiernan and 11 from Peter Blust. Central closes out conference play tonight against York in Hinsdale.

Rafferty wrapped up his recruiting while being out with the injury, committing to Furman of the Southern Conference on Monday.

Trio of wrestlers Nowak, Cultra book state berths returning to state

By BILL STONE

editorial@mysuburbanlife.com

Allen, Edmond and “It’s a pretty nice feeling, but I can’t celebrate King advance after sectional victories too much. I have to stay

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Matt Allen had the easiest championship match Saturday at the Downers Grove North wrestling sectional.

The Hinsdale Central junior didn’t even need to take the mat as Downers Grove North’s E.J. Phillips defaulted in the 285-pound title match. Allen watched the 220 championship bout before striding atop the medal stand to claim the top prize.

It was Allen’s first sectional title, but he shrugged off the accomplishment as he has his sights set squarely on the state tournament, which started Thursday and concludes Saturday.

“It’s a pretty nice feeling, but I can’t celebrate too much,” Allen said. “I have to stay on track and hopefully be a state champion this year.”

Allen was a state qualifier at 220 last year and will be trying for his first state medal this season. Having state tourney experience is a benefit.

“It calms my nerves a little bit,” Allen said. “Last year I was really hyped up, and now I know what it’s about.”

Senior Juwan Edmond stumbled with a 6-5 semifinal loss at 152, but won two matches in decisive fashion (by fall and 18-7 decision) for a third-place finish. He is a four-time state qualifier going for his fourth state medal and first title, and the lessons learned from earlier state meets should help him toward that goal.

“I gotta work a lot harder and I gotta have fun,” Edmond said. “I always do better when I have fun.”

Liam Drury, Nikola Ivanisevic, James Manikas and Matt Price also wrestled at the sectional for Central, but just missed out on advancing to state.

on track and hopefully be a state champion this year.”

Matt Allen Hinsdale Central junior

Hinsdale South Josh King learned an important lesson Saturday, and immediately took it to heart.

Leading comfortably 7-0 late in his 220-pound title match, the Hinsdale South junior was cruising at the Downers Grove North wrestling sectional.

Then suddenly he was caught off balance, taken to the mat and nearly pinned before escaping with a 7-5 win.

“In a sport like wrestling, anything can happen,” King said. “At state, there are no second chances. If a shot is there, then take it because you never know when you might need the points.”

King not only learned a lesson at the sectional, but has the lessons learned at two previous state tournaments to help him as he aims for his first state medal.

“The arena is huge and loud, and the main thing to prepare for is the competition,” King said. “Everyone’s good. Everyone earned their way down there. No match is easy. If you want a spot on that podium, you have to wrestle every match like it’s your last.”

Nick Carlson, Danish Qureshi and Robby Regan were other South sectional wrestlers who just missed out on state, though Regan will spar with King at state.

“Robby’s still going with us,” South head coach Kevin Formanski said. “Josh needs a partner to wrestle down there, so Robby is going to come with us.”

HINSDALE – After a oneyear absence from high school gymnastics, Hinsdale South junior Maddie Nowak is returning to the state meet with a different outlook.

“I left state a little disappointed my freshman year and I don’t want to do the same thing this year,” Nowak said.

Nowak automatically qualified for state at Palatine High School in the same four events as 2013 with top-five finishes at the Hinsdale Central sectional Feb. 11. She was second on the uneven bars (9.5), tied for third on floor exercise (9.525), and was fourth on vault (9.5) and all-around (37.125).

“She had awesome floor, bars, vault – one of the best bars routines I’ve seen in a while, great floor. I’m proud of her,” first-year South coach Mia Tritch said.

Last year, Nowak focused on club gymnastics. In 2013, her highest state finish was a tie for 14th on vault (9.5). This time, Nowak hopes to be among Friday’s top-10 preliminary scores and reach Saturday’s event finals. Her sectional score on uneven bars ranks fifth.

“I feel like there’s no pressure, just go all out and hopefully there will be positive results,” Nowak said.

Hinsdale South’s Maddie Nowak competes on uneven bars Feb. 11 at the Hinsdale Central sectional meet. The junior qualified for the state meet in four events.

injury, was out for a week with mononucleosis and re-injured the heel just before the postseason.

Cultra persevered and reached state on the uneven bars (9.125) and floor (9.4) as an at-large individual qualifier at the Hinsdale Central sectional.

“I knew I could make it if I did the routines that I had,” Cultra said. “I tried to keep up with the routines I had before Hinsdale Central Hinsdale Central’s Brigid I got sick so I was able to make Cultra came to high school it.

“Bars is my favorite event gymnastics this season as a senior with the potential of so I’m really glad to compete that. To make it to state is realreaching the state meet.

Then she aggravated a heel ly cool. It’s going to be my first

state experience – and last.”

Both of Cultra’s scores were .025 above the at-large state cuts.

“I just want to have fun, make my routines, do the best I can,” Cultra said.

“I’m excited for her with everything happening, being sick and injured. It’s really nice to have something positive happen for her,” Hinsdale Central coach Kim Estoque said.

Hinsdale Central finished fourth (138.80) with a lineup of Cultra, four-year varsity senior Maddie Sesemann and four freshmen.

Detoxification 101: Myths, Facts and Healthy Ways to Detox Your Body for Lasting Results.

Detoxification has become the hot, new trend to lose weight fast while cleansing the body, but it is not that simple. Proper detoxification is a process that many do not fully understand.

Simply changing what you eat and how you eat it does not detox your body as you may think. Join us for Detoxification 101 so you can avoid the myths, learn the facts and find healthy ways to detox your body for lasting results -without the headache.

HOSTED BY:

Cross Fit training programs are all the rage these days because of their ability to have an exercise approach and be a competitive fitness sport.

CrossFit incorporates high interval training, Olympic weightlifting, plyometric kettle ball lifting, gymnastic, calisthenics and more. Britt Chamberlin Crowe an instructor at CrossFit OLAF in Batavia, will discuss how the proper nutrition, strength training, cardiovascular training, rest/repair and proper mindset will assist in achieving one’s fitness and body composition goals.

KEYNOTE SPONSOR

Everyone has a starting point.

Whether you are a novice or experienced athlete, we all are looking to improve in one way or another. That improvement might be to lose weight, to place in your age group in a local or national race, or simply to improve your fitness. Setting goals will give you motivation and boosts selfconfidence. Having those goals, adjusting, and learning how to set them can help you achieve them.

Ryan Giuliano started from not knowing how to swim in college to becoming the top ranked amateur Ironman athlete in the world in 2015. It has required him to set many short term and long term goals and keeping motivated and disciplined to attain them. He will discuss how to plan goals out and follow through to meet them.
