DARIEN – Actions speak louder than words, and symbols can serve not only as inspiration but be everlasting.

“I think it’s more important that the students at our school learn the lesson that there are things more important than your vanity and your looks,” said Ashley Yong, 16, of Darien.

On Feb. 10, as hundreds of spectators looked on during the students vs. staff basketball game in the Hinsdale South High School gymnasium, the junior with the 25-inch long hair did something that most girls her age wouldn’t dream of – shave it all off.

“My friend had to drag me into the chair, but I eventually got up there and they tied the little apron thing around me, split my hair into sections and just like snipped it,” Yong said.

Yong shaved her head in support of children’s cancer research through the St. Baldrick’s organization. She has never had cancer nor has she ever known anyone with it, but it was thanks to an incident at a hair salon a couple of years ago that led up to this event.

“Two years ago, I was at a salon getting my hair cut, and the girl next to me ... was breaking down crying because she was talking about how her hair didn’t look exactly how she wanted it to,” Yong said. “That got me thinking. Then a year ago, I saw a video of a girl getting her head shaved for St. Baldrick’s so that sparked my interest and I’ve been growing my hair for almost two years now.”

Yong said her hair has never

“I had some friends in the crowd that were crying literally for me and I didn’t understand that,” she said with a laugh.

prised by the number of compliments she not only received from teachers but also random people and students.

pings is Locks of Love, an organization that uses donations to create hair prosthetics for people who have lost their hair due to a medical condition.

Yong may have surpassed her goal of raising $500, but she said it wasn’t just about raising money for cancer research and St. Baldrick’s. It was about breaking the chains of what society views as beauty, whether it’s on the cover of a fashion magazine or on a reality TV show on Bravo.

“You don’t need material things to make your life better and no matter how small the things you do are, they can have a big impact if you have a message to go along with it,” she said.

In between getting her head shaved for a cause, Yong also keeps herself busy with volunteer work, and at Hinsdale South she participates in peer leadership network, Spanish club, yearbook, newspaper, principal student advisory council and outdoor club.

Next year, Yong said she plans on participating in St. Baldrick’s again and is also hoping to get a group of her friends together to participate with her, even though they may be reluctant.

“People will get used to it anyways,” she said.

Graue Mill receives $2.57M for flood prevention project SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA HINSDALE – U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley, District 5, announced Tuesday a $2.57 million grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency to help fund a flood prevention project for the Graue Mill neighborhood of Hinsdale.

Twice since 2010, and most recently last April, floods have devastated the area, forcing the evacuation of most of Graue Mill’s 243 residences and causing millions of dollars in damage, according to a news release.

The federal grant will pay for 75 percent of the $3.4 million project, which includes the construction of

berms, flood gates, upgraded pumps and other water management improvements.

DuPage County, the village of Hinsdale and Graue Mill residents will provide the remaining funds to match the federal grant, according to the release.

Graue Mill and portions of Hinsdale became part of Illinois’ 5th Congressional District in January 2013.

Quigley and his staff met with Graue Mill residents soon after to discuss the community’s grant application with FEMA. The application was in response to the flood of 2010, and the events of April 2013 further galvanized efforts to secure relief, according to the release.

Officers Thomas Yehl and Steven Ruban were promoted following an “intensive” promotional process, which included an orientation session, written test, initial oral interview, assessment center and final interview.

Several offices as well as family members were in attendance Tuesday for Yehl and Ruban during their swearing in ceremony as Cauley recognized the camaraderie among the officers.

TAXABLE SOCIAL SECURITY can be a problem. Since one-half of your Social Security plus all of your income (including tax-exempt income) is used on the worksheet, some or all of your Social Security may be taxable.

The cut off where 50% taxable starts is $32,000 for married filing jointly and $25,000 for Singles. For the 85% taxable, it is $44,000 MJ and $44,000 Single.

These amounts have not changed since the early 1990’s. And the worksheet is not simple.

If you sold a stock or mutual fund this year, got more long term capital gains from your mutual funds or took out more IRA, you may find that a lot more of your Social Security is taxable - and therefore more total tax due. The good new is that your SSA is not taxable for Illinois.

STRAUSS TAX SERVICE can prepare your 2013 taxes and complete your taxable Social Security. We can also answer your questions, plan for 2014 and save you money. We are located at 624 62nd Street, Downers Grove and are open from 9AM - 9PM daily.

Disney classic to be director’s swan song

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Just like the characters who live together in the fictional castle, Hinsdale Central’s cast of “Beauty and the Beast” is much like a family themselves whether it’s the students who embody the musical or the director who brings it all together.

“This year, it’s been a cast of my friends, which is really cool,” said senior Yianni Kinnas of Burr Ridge, who is playing the beast. “I have friends in the ensemble, too, but all the people who got lead roles are people I’ve grown up with here at Hinsdale Central.”

After casting in November and starting rehearsals shortly after winter break, Hinsdale Central High School will present its first rendition “Beauty and the Beast” on March 13. The cast will present four shows between March 13 and 16.

For director Christine Hicks, the final curtain will

Hinsdale Central students Yianni Kinnas and Gabrielle Roberts rehearse Feb. 6 for “Beauty and the Beast.” be a bitter sweet moment as it will mark her last time directing plays and musicals at the high school. Hicks, who has

directed 65 shows for 30 years at the high school, plans to retire at the end of the school year.

“I think there’s something really wonderful about filling an auditorium with people of all ages, and the look on kids’

faces when they see these stories come to life,” Hicks said.

Senior Jack Cherry has done three musicals at the high school – all under Hicks’ direction – and explained that Hicks has been an amazing leader within the school’s thespian community.

“She’s done so much for the school and everything from the drama club has risen from her,” said Cherry, who is playing Gaston. “Just to be with her on her way out is so cool; she’s someone I respect so much.”

However, Hicks’ influence goes beyond the stage and into the classroom, as she is not only retiring from directing, but she also is stepping down from her position as Hinsdale Central’s English teacher.

“In her class last year, I really grew as a writer and I connected with her while working on my essays,” said senior Sarah Hansen, who will play Belle.

For the first time in recent memory, the show will be

Your Dogs Home Away From Home While You’re On Spring Break Vacation….

Who’s Going Love and Take Care Of Your Beloved Pet Florida, Hawaii, or the Bahamas…..Where are you going for Spring break? You don’t care as long as you’re not here and it’s warm … right? The temperature has been relentless and brutal.

Basically I feel like that old pizza that you forget about in the back of the freezer that hasn’t been seen in a year. Frozen and covered in ice crystals that have actually burned the food by being too cold for too long.

Too long is right…. Now that you know you’re going someplace warm do you have a place for your pet to enjoy their time away during their vacation? …No well maybe I can help you in making that decision.

Firstly I know how hard this is…you’re not sure if the neighbors can watch them or the in-laws have the time…they like to go on vacation too.

Secondly what are the options, vet…kennel….day

care center…how do you decide? (drum roll please) Solution… you gotta Do A Tour.

You Gotta meet the people.

As you know …You know your pet best. You will make your decision based on how you connect with that person that will be in the care of your pet.

It takes a bit of time to visit and get a feel for the people but its really the best way to do it.

I know I’m biased because this is what I do but having done this for nearly 13 years this is what people say to me. They are glad that they came out to visit us and they were very happy to see the facilities and go through the daily routine.

I can say all sorts of nice things but here are some of our reviews…

12/8/2010 David from Willow Brook We been using this kennel for 8 years. We are very happy with the care and attention our 2 dogs receive. The dogs are actually excited to go there!

The staff play with them daily and give them baths before pick-up.

5/25/2012 Mike from Lombard These guys are awesome. Other than the dog park, this is the only place that my dog actually gets excited when we pull up in the parking lot. They’re always nice, they LOVE my boxer Fenny, and she’s always in high spirits when we pick her up. We will continue to always use this place.

I have talked your ear off…if you have any questions please give us call at 630-969-3145.

We actually live on the property with our pet clients so this is more than just a job… this is home for us Give us a call at 630-969-3145 we would love to show you our little slice of heaven.

no retirement plans and said it hasn’t hit her that “Beauty and the Beast” will be her final show.

She added she still gets the same joy from seeing the costumes, watching the kids’ enjoyment and being there as the production comes together from the first rehearsal to the last.

“I think the kids are just great and I do appreciate all the staff that works so hard,” Hicks said. “Without the music teacher, without the choreographer, set designer, orchestra, it wouldn’t be the same show. They’re all wonderful people to work with.”

‘You never know what we’ll find’

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com WILLOWBROOK – The last question Sam Schick asked to other franchise owners 10 years ago was if they had to do it all over again, would they.

Everyone said, “Absolutely.”

“I thought what a hairbrained idea, picking up peoples’ junk, but then I researched it a little further and it seemed to be kind of a service that was duck tailed into my customer service background,” said Schick, part owner of a 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise in Willowbrook. “I thought, this sounds unique.”

Schick and his wife, Gail, are celebrating their 10th anniversary as franchise owners in Willowbrook, where, among other things, they specialize in junk removal and have even appeared on the television series “Hoarders” seven times.

But it wasn’t always the glamorous world of junk for the Frankfort couple. Prior to owning the franchise, Sam and spent 26 years working in

Joining forces to boost youth mentoring The impact one person can have on another, especially that of a caring adult on the life of a vulnerable youth, can last a lifetime. As coordinator of the MetroMentors program at Metropolitan Family Services DuPage, my job is to match such mentors and mentees. Effective mentoring relationships can help increase children’s self-esteem, social competence, academic achievement and positive life choices. Mentors often find they gain much by giving their time, attention and support.

Though many stories have been told about the benefits of mentoring, another story that should be shared is about the COMMUNITY organizational partnerships VOICE that are helping programs Marsha such as MetroMentors survive Ndoko and grow. In our case, joining forces with local school entities such as District 45 and organizations such as Parkview Community Church in Glen Ellyn has been a recipe for success.

MetroMentors provides weekly mentoring opportunities in schools by working with various DuPage school districts, including District 45. Through Kathy Gerber, the guidance counselor at Jefferson Middle School, we at MetroMentors discovered Parkview was interested in deepening its mentoring outreach. Steve King, worship arts pastor at Parkview Community Church, said: “As we considered the requirements of starting up a mentoring program with the District 45 schools, we knew there were areas of expertise we were not qualified to address, such as the administration, screening, oversight and coordination between the schools, students and mentors. MetroMentors has filled that role with Parkview and District 45. The result has been a partnership that maximizes our ability to focus on recruiting and engaging mentors with students at the schools.”

As a result of the partnership, on average, students with mentors saw a 70 percent increase in academic performance, an 82 percent improvement in social or emotional challenges, an 85 percent improvement in learning, as well as performance increases in a number of other areas.

MetroMentors greatly appreciates the support of Parkview Community Church, District 45, other participating school districts and other partners who are helping to support mentoring services and benefit the greater DuPage community.

MetroMentors always has a demand for mentors, especially adult males and volunteers who can donate time during the school day. For information, please contact Marsha Ndoko at NdokoM@metrofamily.org or 630-784-4836.

Marsha Ndoko is the MetroMentors coordinator for Metropolitan Family Services DuPage.

Right now, the six-member Lemont Village Board and the mayor, Mr. Brian Reaves, are deciding on whether they (and only they) should obligate the Lemont taxpayers to be responsible for a sports complex that is estimated to cost $21 million, with finance costs of up to $18 million. They are doing so after they found a private source of funding, which allowed them to legally deny any binding input from the residents and voters of Lemont. This means that out of the more than 16,000 residents of Lemont, only seven people have a voice in approving a high-risk project. ... Many of us in Lemont have complained about this maneuver and have been repeatedly told by the Lemont board and mayor, “You elected us, and that means that we can do what we want,” and, “If you don’t like what we’re doing, then vote us out [at the] next election.” This is not how a representative democracy is supposed to work and, besides, they can do a lot of damage in the next three years.

possessions, the owners don’t want to see their things crushed into the back of a truck or handled improperly.

“Even though it is considered junk, peoples’ burning question when we’re outside is, ‘What are you going to do with our stuff?’” Sam said. “The reality is if we can find somebody else who can use it, we’ll try and find them.”

After pickup, the trucks bring the items back to the warehouse in Willowbrook to be sorted. During the last 10 years, the couple said thousands of items have been donated to nonprofits, and 75 percent of the items collected have gone on to be recycled or repurposed.

The couple has encountered incidents of hoarding, and even situations they’ve had to walk away from and call the health department, including one incident where a townhouse had 450 birds flying freely.

But it’s not all junk the company encounters.

I’m thinking this has to have some historical value to someone,” Sam said.

And it turns out it did. Back in the early 1900s, ferries would carry railroad cars to Ludington, Mich. and back. After some research, Sam discovered a historical museum in Ludington that was putting together a maritime museum, and the volunteers were more than happy to have the donated artifacts.

Another find struck close to home for Sam. During the World War lI attack on Pearl Harbor, Sam’s uncle, a medical officer, was shot and later died at a hospital. On the 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, the family went to Hawaii for a dedication ceremony as a clinic on Hickam Air Force base was named for Sam’s uncle, William Schick.

Then a few years ago, while looking through the back of the truck, Sam found a framed newspaper article dated Dec. 11, 1941, four days after the Pearl Harbor attack, identifying six Chicago men killed in Hawaii, including his uncle.

“And that’s when Sam looked at me and he said that it’s moments like that where we’re absolutely doing the right thing,” Gail said. “It’s those moments in life where you just feel like you’re in the right place at the right time.”

CLARENDON HILLS – In the summer of 1889, Vincent van Gogh created one of the most iconic works in art history – “The Starry Night.”

The surreal nature of this oil painting isn’t that it’s a canvas of colors thoughtfully strung together, but the fact that even 125 years later, the image invokes the same curiosity and genuine interest of viewers, including young children.

Local educators recently expanded a program which similarly tries to expand students’ thought processes through art.

Art Express, presented by the Prospect School PTA, is a program that has taken place at Prospect School for about five years. First, teachers carefully select pieces of art, which align with a given lesson plan. Then, the artwork is presented to the students, who are instructed to “read” the piece, effectively using both the right and left sides of one’s brain.

“You can just see their minds working on what they see and working it into the context of the painting,” said Barb Maduzia of Clarendon Hills, a member of the Parent Teacher Association and coordinator for the Art Express program.

For example, Maduzia said while first graders are learning about Washington, D.C., they will be introduced to paintings of George Washington; or, when fourth graders learn about Paul Revere, they

they know what her paintings look like,” Evans said.

“They know the things to look for and they know what the characteristics of her artwork are.”

Evans explained that the art also introduces her students to what’s beyond the canvas.

“They also get a better perspective on Mexican culture and they learn about each other as students because there are many different nationalities that are studied,” she said.

Students are also asked to use critical thinking when it comes to analyzing the art.

Teachers often ask the class what they think happened right before a particular piece was painted, what effect the work had on society, or what meaning and feeling the artist was trying to convey.

“The kids have a chance to form their own opinion, state their thoughts and back them up with what they see,” Maduzia said.

Art Express was introduced at Prospect and is currently taking place at Prospect, Elm, Oak and The Lane. Maduzia said she hopes to jumpstart the program at the rest of the District 181 schools during the 2014-15 school year.

Evans agreed, and said the enthusiasm is evident with all her students.

“Just the excitement you see in them it makes it all worthwhile,” Evans said.

“They’re excited about what they’ve learned and they recognized these paintings.”

Autoimmune condition?

Living with an autoimmune disorder can afect every part of your life. It keeps you from enjoying the good things in life… time with your kids, grandkids, activities like goling, biking, yard work and gardening.

Did you know that leaky gut syndrome is a precursor to an autoimmune disease?

Did you know that your gut makes up 80% of your immune system?

An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your own body. here is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders, but you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY. My name is Dr. Jefrey E Forzley, with Lemont Natural Healthcare. I am a chiropractic physician and a holistic practitioner. I am passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions. I have been in practice for 28 years. As a holistic practitioner I evaluate the whole body and the many systems of the body, integrate their relationships, manage the underlying cause and use natural methods to manage autoimmune disorders.

Are you sufering with any of these autoimmune disorders?

• Hashimotos hroiditis • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Graves Disease • Multiple Sclerosis • Scleroderma • Sjogren’s Syndrome • Type 1 Diabetes • Myasthenia Gravis • Ankylosing Spondylitis • Perniscious Anemia

• Lupus • ALS • Psoriasis • Vasculitis • Celiac Disease • Crohn’s Disease • Addison’s Disease • Urticaria (Hives) • Eczema • Raynauds

Medications are not always the long term answer.

Medications can give you temporary relief but they DO NOT ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING CAUSE of your immune imbalance. All medications have side efects. hese side efects can be more detrimental than the original symptoms sometimes.

Did you know that medications to treat autoimmune conditions can WEAKEN your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer? here is a time to use medications but not before a NATURAL way to manage the underlying imbalance.

So how do I help people with autoimmune disorders? I use a combination of speciic NEUROLOGICAL protocols and NUTRITION recommendations… Neuro-Metabolic herapy.

Your Brain (nervous System) controls all other systems of the body. It controls your immune system. digestive system, endocrine (hormone) system… so if you have an immune system imbalance or autoimmune condition, evaluating and managing the nervous system is required for optimal improvement.

Your immune system. here are 2 parts to the front line defense of your immune system… TH1 (white blood cells) and TH2 (antibody response). hese 2 parts should work in balance together. But when you are sufering from an autoimmune disorder, one part is out of balance (dominant). his leads to an imbalance in TH3 which in turn leads to an autoimmune response.

Testimonials I was diagnosed with Graves Disease (autoimmune thyroid) three years ago. My endocrinologist recommended surgery to remove my thyroid and put me on medication for the rest of my life. I searched for an alternative treatment to save my thyroid and found Dr. Forzley. hrough comprehensive lab testing he found out what was causing my immune system to attack my thyroid. I have been receiving treatments and following his recommendations exactly and my lab numbers are now normal, my endocrinologist is happy, my medication has been reduced in half and I feel better. I highly recommend Dr. Forzley and his natural approach.

Samantha R. I sufered from unbearable itching caused by Hives (chronic autoimmune Urticaria) for over 33 years. Steroid medications helped the symptoms temporarily but the side efects were bad.

Ater an in-depth blood and metabolic analysis, Dr. Forzley found the cause of my problem. Ater 4-5 months of strictly following his recommendations, my hives are completely gone and I feel great.

Cheryl P. If your immune system is not managed properly, your condition can worsen, result in a poor quality of life, cause a shortening of the length of your life and cause other autoimmune disorders.

Holistic herapy can manage autoimmune conditions by: 1) inding and balancing the underlying cause.

2) lowering the self destructive efects of the immune system.

3) using natural therapies that work with your body.

I can work with your immune system NATURALLY and balance the TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17. You can never be cured of an autoimmune disorder.

BUT, you can get symptom relief and calm down the immune attack on you own body. You must get a detailed immune system evaluation followed by speciic recommendation based on those tests.

Guess what stimulates TH1?Vitamin C. But if you are TH1 dominant, Taking vitamin C will WORSEN your immune response. hat’s right worsen. We need to identify which part of your immune system is dominant in order to calm down the immune system.

I don’t treat or cure autoimmune disorders.

By using speciic neurological and nutritional protocols, I help to decrease your body’s inlammation, detoxify your body, balance TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17 which NATURALLY boosts your immune system. THAT is how I address autoimmune disorders.

Call for your FREE* 30 minute consultation: On Wednesdays. Expires 3/7/14 Go to my website, Lemontnaturalhealthcare.com, and click on “Autoimmune” for a presentation about my Autoimmune Recovery Program.

Pet Memoriams

Parishioners take medical mission trip to Philippines

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com CLARENDON HILLS – It only took about a week after Typhoon Haiyan devastated the Philippines before the Rev. Aimee Delevett was approached with an idea from some parishioners to head to the country for a medical mission trip.

“I said ‘great,’ let’s talk about what I can do to support you all,” said Delevett, of the Church of the Holy Nativity in Clarendon Hills.

Delevett said the “mastermind” behind the trip to the province of Iloilo was Jo Ann Jaen-Lagman of Naperville, who along with 13 other parishioners set out Monday for the 10-day medical mission trip.

“The more immediate needs have been met like broken bones and things like that, but the more chronic illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, some maternal care, some of the regular check-ups

for the kids that are on a regular schedule by age have been disrupted,” Jaen-Lagman said.

Most of the parishioners on the trip work in the medical field, as well as Jaen-Lagman, who grew up in the Philippines. Members of Jaen-Lagman’s family who still live there were out of harms way from the typhoon.

In addition, the church and parishioners raised more than $20,000 for the trip, which Delevett said would be spent on medical supplies and relief items. All of the funds will go toward the effort as everyone going on the trip paid for their own travels.

“It’s very clearly part of Church of the Holy Nativity’s mission to bring that light and hope of Christ into the world in places of hopelessness and darkness, and I’m just so grateful for and proud of JoAnn and the other parishioners who have worked so hard to make this trip happen,” Delevett said.

Fire departments conduct ice rescue training HINSDALE – The Hinsdale and Oak Brook fire departments recently conducted annual ice rescue training in a pond at the Dean Nature Sanctuary in Oak Brook.

There are about 50 retention ponds and bodies of water, including a large stretch of Salt Creek, peppered throughout the boundaries of both villages, according to a news release from the Hinsdale Fire Department. In the event of a “fall thru the ice” emergency, both departments will be ready.

The release also offered tips for people who fall through ice.

They should try to keep as much of their body out of the water as possible by pulling the up onto the ice ledge. By doing this, the legs will float to the top of the water making it possible to kick out of the hole and onto more stable ice.

Restaurant reviews

Berwyn’s Wishbone spreads Southern charm BERWYN – Several months before visiting Wishbone last week, I went to a market and bought everything I needed to make shrimp and grits.

Unfortunately, after that grocery stop and each subsequent trip, I’ve managed to eat all the bacon before I actually get around to making the dish, and the shrimp are still waiting in the freezer.

So when I saw the Southern favorite on the menu at Wishbone, I ordered it as an appetizer without hesitation.

I’m happy I did; my craving now can rest easy.

The creamy, cheesy grits supporting plump shrimp, bacon, mushrooms, white wine and scallions was a personal favorite when my companion and I ate at Wishbone’s pop-up location, connected to Olive or Twist Martini Bar in Berwyn.

The shrimp was cooked perfectly, retaining some snap, and the bites of bacon stayed crispy – never an easy trick.

The popular Chicago barbecue joint returned to Berwyn this winter on a trial run through March. If it catches on, people will have a new home base for fried chicken, pulled pork, beef brisket, crab cakes, catfish, rainbow trout and other downhome belly-pleasers.

The new spot sits in Berwyn’s charming Depot District, along with neighboring bars, restaurants, gift shops and a comedy club.

During our visit, my companion and I sat at a table with a nice view through the large picture window.

Out front, trains rolled by to create a fun atmosphere – they could be seen but not heard. And with exposed brick walls and ductwork, along with other trendy but warm interior design elements, the restaurant manages to conjure both a Southern and urban feel.

Fitting the theme, blues and jazz soundtracked the friendly and attentive service.

Hinsdale Central pull even with York in West Suburban Silver

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – After the fact, Matt Rafferty and the rest of Hinsdale Central’s boys basketball team were able to admit how big Tuesday’s game against York was.

“We all knew that it was to share conference, depending on the games Friday, so we knew it was a big game and we put everything on the line,” the Central junior forward said. “But we tried to treat it like a regular game.”

The Red Devils won 50-47 to pull into a first-place tie with the Dukes atop the West Suburban Silver conference. Both teams are 10-1 in the league, and each has one game left on the WSS schedule tonight.

York faces Oak Park-River Forest on the road while Central hosts Glenbard West.

Central, the defending Silver champs, briefly savored the win over York before turning its attention to Glenbard West.

“We’ve got to get this win Friday, and we’re going to focus on that in practice,” Rafferty said. “Hopefully after that we’ll feel really good about [where we’re at].”

The Red Devils (19-6 overall) never trailed, but the first half was a defensive struggle.

Central led 9-8 after a quarter and 21-18 at halftime.

The third quarter was when Central made its move.

An 8-0 run at the start of the second half pushed the lead to double-digits. York (22-3) cut the deficit to 34-25, but Rafferty scored the final four Central Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com points of the third quarter Hinsdale Central’s Matt Rafferty (center) battles with two York players during Tuesday’s home game. Raf- to give the Red Devils a 38-27 ferty scored 17 points as the Red Devils won 50-47 and pulled even with the Dukes in the West Suburban lead.

York crept back in the Silver.

Hinsdale Central 50 York 47 THREE KEYS TO VICTORY Third quarter run: The Red Devils started the third quarter with an 8-0 run to grab a 29-18 lead. York got within five late in the frame, but a Matt Rafferty basket pushed the lead to 39-27 heading to the fourth quarter.

Defense: Central’s collapsing defense made life tough inside for York big man Frank Toohey, and the Red Devils pressured the Dukes into contested shots that missed the mark. York was 11-of-30 from the field through three quarters.

Free throw shooting: Grant Lillard split a one-and-one with 34.3 seconds remain to give Central a 48-45 lead. When York cut it to 48-47, Chase Hamilton sank two free throws with 3.5 seconds left to seal the win.

fourth quarter and used a 7-0 surge to make it a 47-45 game.

Frank Toohey’s late layup made it 48-47 before Central’s Chase Hamilton hit two free throws to seal the win.

Even Central head coach Nick Latorre, who typically espouses the one-game-at-a-time approach, admitted the game had some added significance.

“It wasn’t just another game, of course, because there were conference championship implications involved,” Latorre said, “but as far as how we go about preparing, it didn’t change a whole bunch.”

Rafferty finished with a game-high 17 points and had 10 rebounds. Hamilton scored 12 points in the second half and finished with 16. Jordan Bradshaw tallied nine points.

Allen brothers part of state wrestling trio State tournament

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – The Allen family reunion will take place in Champaign.

Brothers and Hinsdale Central wrestlers Brian Allen (senior) and Matt Allen (sophomore) won sectional titles on Saturday to earn spots at the state tournament, which started Thursday and continues through Saturday.

Older brother Jack Allen, a state champion at 285 pounds in 2011, will be on hand at the State Farm Center in Champaign as Brian looks to defend his 285-pound state title and Matt (220 pounds) eyes his first state championship.

“Jack’s going to be down there, which makes me pretty happy,” said Matt Allen, who is making his state debut.

Brian Allen has the chance to grab family bragging rights at the state tourney. Win a title and he will become the first two-time state champ among his siblings. If he medals, he will become the first fourtime medal winner among his brothers, but he refuses to look that far down the line.

“You win state titles by taking things one match at a time, and I don’t want to get ahead of myself,” he said.

Brian Allen was a perfect 49-0 last season. He heads to

What: Class 1A, 2A, 3A wrestling finals When: 8:30 a.m. Friday and 9 a.m.

Saturday Where: State Farm Center, in Champaign

Matt Allen has apparently learned some lessons from his older brothers in terms of what it takes to be successful at state.

“They tell me just to focus on wrestling, and focus on taking it one match at a time,” he said.

Matt Allen clinched his spot at state with a 6-3 semifinal win, then improved his state seeding with a 5-1 victory in the 220 finals.

Brian Allen won via first-period pin and major Dan Santaromita - dsantaromita@shawmedia.com decision before defeating a Hinsdale Central’s Brian Allen (left) wrestles Downers Grove South’s familiar opponent, Downers Mike Hobbs at 285 pounds during the Lyons Township regional tour- Grove South’s Mike Hobbs, nament.

Champaign dreams for South’s Maslow, King

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – A year of experience might make a big difference for Justin Maslow.

The Hinsdale South senior was a surprise state wrestling medalist last year in his first trip to the state finals, and now that he’s going back again this year, he has a better idea of what’s in store at state, which started Thursday in Champaign.

“Last year down there I wasn’t really nervous, but it is an experience,” said Maslow, who finished third at 145 pounds at the Hinsdale Central sectional Saturday.

“You’ve got 20,000 seats, and

Season records (before state) • Justin Maslow: 40-6 • Josh King: 40-5

they might not be all full but it’s definitely a big tournament that nothing else compares to. So being down there before will help my nerves.”

Maslow was 1-1 in the main bracket at the sectional, but went 4-0 in the backdraw. A narrow 2-1 win in a wrestleback semifinal sealed his state berth, and his 10-4 win in the third place match improved his seeding for state. The fact

that Maslow survived perhaps the toughest weight at what was billed as the toughest sectional in the state provided a confidence boost.

“Definitely, I think so,” he said. “Looking at the predictions, I knew I was going to have a tough sectional.

“I’m excited. I like wrestling and I’m happy I can go downstate again. That was my goal – well, I want to place, but you have to make it first, and I’m happy I got out of [the sectional].”

Having state experience also gave Maslow a good idea of the best way to prepare for the rigors of the biggest tournament in the state.

“You only have three days

of practice [before state], so maybe you do a little conditioning, but I’m not going to be changing my game up too much,” he said. “What worked [at the sectional] has worked the whole year, and that’s what I’m going to be doing [at state].”

South sophomore Josh King fell in his first sectional match at 220 pounds but won his next three matches, securing his state berth with a pin of Morton’s Kevion Anderson in a wrestleback semifinal.

He finished fourth at the sectional and earned his second trip to state.

Senior Nick Perisin (126) also wrestled at the sectional but did not qualify for state.

With more than 30 races left after the Daytona 500, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Season extends into November, though Marlowe said he will attend about one-third of the races this season.

Some sports owners interject themselves into every minute detail of the day-today operations of the team, but Marlowe didn’t get to be a successful businessman by

not knowing his own strengths and weaknesses. He knows enough to stand back and let each person involved in Swan Racing do their job.

“This is my first foray into pro sports, aside from being a

sponsor. All my experience is as a CEO and entrepreneur in the business world,” Marlow said. “I don’t envision myself getting involved much in the competitive side of things right now. I’ll leave those deci-

sions to others.

“Bray Pemberton [general manager] is a talented young leader. He has the keys and we rely on him. [Primary Owner and CEO] Brandon Davis has already got us in a good spot.”

Anthony Marlowe’s love of cars and racing was born on Archer Avenue, the famous street that cuts a swath through Chicago’s southside and the city’s southwest suburbs.

“I’ve been a lifelong racing fan since back in the day running cars up and down Archer Avenue,” Marlowe said. “I’ve always had an affinity for it.”

Now a successful businessman, Marlowe was able to turn his love into a reality as he became a minority owner with Swan Racing in January.

Swan Racing, which is based in Statesville, N.C., has two cars that compete in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, No. 26 Cole Whitt and No. 30 Parker Kligerman.

As the NASCAR season starts Sunday with the Daytona 500, Marlowe will be one of hundreds of thousands of people in attendance as he watches Whitt and Kligerman compete in the race, but for him, it will be all business, which coincidentally is how he became a NASCAR owner.

After graduating from Lyons Township High School, Marlowe moved to Iowa City, Iowa, to go to college before he quickly realized it wasn’t for him.

“I didn’t last very long,” he said. “I started working for a company called MCI, and they asked me to run their sales team in Arlington, Va. so I did that for a few years. How many 19-year olds get to be a manager and get that kind of experience.”

MCI brought Marlowe back to Iowa City in 2001. Two years later, he co-founded TMone, a domestic business process outsourcing firm that has since spread to four locations, employs more than 1,000 people and has been named one of Inc. Magazine’s fastest growing private companies seven years in a row.

He became a NASCAR team sponsor in 2011 before selling TMone last year. He is still president of the company.

His business success has allowed him to achieve the dream many sports fans harbor.
