By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Over Peter Schroth’s shoulder, a calm Salt Creek flowed through Hinsdale’s Graue Mill housing area.

It was a serene June 4 morning when the president of the Graue Mill Homeowner’s Association approached the podium in front of the creek, expressing his jubilation but also warned residents not to let tranquil days like this overshadow the creek’s devastating potential.

“Those of you who have been here in the flood events of 2010 and 2013, you’ve seen how vicious this little creek can get,” Schroth said.

Joined by several local officials, Schroth was relieved to formally announce a longsought flood mitigation grant would be awarded to the neighborhood.

On May 30, the Illinois General Assembly approved a $2.57 million grant to help pay for a stormwater mitigation project that will protect the neighborhood from future flood waters.

Additionally, local officials recently secured a $626,438 grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

“If you were here a year ago you wouldn’t want to be here,” said U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley, Ill.-05, who helped secure the

Mike Quigley (from left), DuPage County Stormwater Committee Chairman Jim Zay, DuPage County Chairman Dan Cronin and other officials speak June 5 at a news conference at the Graue Mill Country Residences. grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency. The assistance will pay for about 94 percent of the project.

“People were frustrated and understandably concerned.

People were also determined.

Graue Mill was their home and they didn’t want to leave.

Now they won’t have to.”

The $3.4 million project includes the construction of berms, flood gates, upgraded pumps and other water management improvements.

The flooding of Salt Creek twice devastated the Graue Mill area since 2010. In April 2013, cars were floating in garages and the area’s 243 residents had to be evacuated to safety.

8YOUR WEEKEND FORECAST

Quigley said securing the funds for the flood mitigation project was a widespread effort that incorporated local officials, residents and the Village of Hinsdale.

“This is a remarkable community – men and women who have endured devastating loss and yet have not given up,” he said. “Rather, they have taken upon themselves to pursue greater solutions to their flooding problems and enlisted their elected officials in achieving their goal.”

Deputy House Minority Leader Patti Bellock, R-Hinsdale, said she wanted to sing, “Oh Happy Day” as she approached the microphone.

time it gets rainy, even if I’m in Springfield, I get worried about the people in Graue Mill,” she said.

Bellock worked with local officials to obtain the $626,438 grant from the Department of Natural Resources. The remaining project balance is expected to be paid for by the local homeowner’s association fee and the Village of Hinsdale.

“You see what can happen when people work together, and this is a great example of not only governments working together, but people such as those of Graue Mill,” she said.

DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin said this was a “great day” for DuPage County and the homeowners in the Graue Mill area.

“We are committed to continue this work with our regional partners to make a difference in the lives of families still recovering from the damage left by these floods,” he said.

Cronin said the flood mitigation project was not just an important step in flood prevention and water management for residents in Graue Mill, but also for DuPage County.

“Today is a good omen that the future will be bright for Graue Mill,” Schroth said.

D-86 teachers release strike vote results, react to board

By DANNY CIAMPRONE

“The board’s No. 1 goal remains providing excellent and uninterrupted education to our students.”

dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Of the 372 teachers in the Hinsdale High School Teachers Association who voted whether or not to strike if a new contract isn’t reached by June 30, more than 98 percent voted in favor of it.

According to a news release from the teachers’ association sent by spokesperson Mike Palmquist, the association “overwhelmingly” approved a procedural vote to strike.

Palmquist wrote in an email that 372 out of the 377 teachers that serve as the district’s bargaining representative voted, 368 of whom voted in favor of the work stoppage.

Such a stoppage would occur only if mediation between the school board and the teachers’ association reaches an impasse, according the release.

“Since September of 2013,

Richard Skoda School board president

we have been trying in good faith to reach a settlement,” Palmquist said in the release.

“Although it is not our desire, this vote allows the leaders of the [teachers’ association] to call for a strike next fall should mediation fail this summer.”

At the June 2 District 86 Board of Education meeting, school board President Richard Skoda said the board and the teachers association commenced formal collective bargaining in March, one of the earliest starts to negotiations in the last two decades, Skoda said.

This year, however, the school board elected to get the

contract in place by the start of school and, in turn, the association requested federal mediation. The board agreed, hoping it would expedite the process, Skoda said.

The first mediation session was set for June 10, but the board “insisted” on an earlier first session, which occurred May 27, Skoda said.

Prior to the first mediation session commencing May 27, the board and administrators were “shocked and disappointed” to learn the association scheduled a strike vote by its membership, Skoda said.

Earlier on June 2, Skoda

sent a news release stating the teachers’ association authorized to strike and said in the release the vote is “surprisingly premature.”

In the release sent from Palmquist, he said the teachers’ association “could not disagree more” with that sentiment, reiterating the association requested negotiations to begin in September 2013.

“After the board delayed the initial meeting for several months, it then canceled several negotiations meetings, one at the last minute without explanation,” stated the release from the teachers’ association.

“To call the vote premature is disingenuous.”

Skoda said the board intends to be available throughout the summer in order to expedite the process to a “fruitful conclusion.”

“The board’s No. 1 goal remains providing excellent and uninterrupted education to our students,” he said at the June 2 Board of Education meeting.

The teachers’ association also shared the same feelings, stating in the release the goal is to “come to a quick and fair resolution to negotiations this summer.”

2 For 1 Pet Grooming It’s that time again….time to go the groomer and get Fido cleaned up.

If all the snow from the winter wasn’t enough we now have plenty of rain to remind us of what it’s like to live in Seattle.

I shouldn’t complain because I am so glad to have our “Spring” weather finally here.

I was looking for a little bit warmer temperatures but I will not be that person to complain. I have officially put away the snow shovel, I just didn’t know I was going to need my rain boots this much.

I will say this… the lawn looks awesome right.

Pure green and lush.

Here’s a question for you with all this rain how is your four legged buddy looking? A little rough from the long winter or muddy mess from all the new recent rain?

Well Do I have an Offer for You?!

We are now offering a 2 for 1 Grooming.

Yep Buy One Get One Free

This works great for you because you can use it one of two ways. You can buy one groom and get one free (essentially paying half for both groomings) or you can share it with a friend.

We will book you both in and you can share the cost of the grooming (unless you’re super nice and just give the free grooming to friend).

If you are a 2 dog household you can buy one and get the second one free. Nice Huh? Here’s the fine print: you must reside within 5 miles of Belle Aire Grooming, your pets cannot be older than 8 years old and you must be a new customer to us.

New superintendent officially takes the reins at D-181

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Don White has been all smiles since taking over as superintendent of District 181, fulfilling a professional goal that has been 27 years in the making.

“I have always aspired to be in a high achieving school district where there is a genuine interest from the parents and everyone in the community to make this the best district we can for the students,” White said.

The Board of Education unanimously named White superintendent May 2, and he officially assumed duties May 27.

He comes to District 181 after serving as the superintendent of Troy Community Consolidated School District 30-C. After graduating from college, White landed a managerial position at Walgreens, but soon had a change of heart and transitioned to education.

“I actually started out of college with Walgreens and was an assistant manager for a few years,” he said. “I decided

“I have always aspired to be in a high achieving school district where there is a genuine interest from the parents and everyone in the community to make this the best district we can for the students.”

About Don White n RESIDENCE: Joliet n FAMILY: Wife, Lori; children,

n EDUCATION: Doctorate from

Illinois State University with a superintendent’s endorsement, a Master of Education degree from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and a Bachelor of Science in education degree from Western Illinois University. n HOBBIES: Technology, physical fitness, reading and photography.

District 181 superintendent retail wasn’t for me and then went into the classroom as a fourth-grade teacher.”

He has since worked for 27 years in various classrooms and school districts before accepting to District 181 superintendent position.

So far, White said he’s been “pretty busy,” but in a “fun way.”

He acclimated to the district by visiting all the buildings, including the much maligned Hinsdale Middle School, which will soon begin a $350,000 roof repair. Going forward, a main priority will be to gather community input and determine the fate of the building, according to White.

In addition, the new district leader will assess the current Learning for All Plan, a policy that gradually raises the academic rigor for all district students, but has been a source of criticism from several parents.

“I’m trying to figure what has gone well, because there’s been a lot of pieces that have gone really well with this,” he said. “There are people that are not proponents of it, and that’s OK; but that doesn’t mean that you automatically shift because you have some people that don’t agree with it.”

While he intends to stay the course with the Learning for All Plan, White said there are areas that could be tweaked

and addressed based on feedback from students, teachers and the community.

“If it’s not working, let’s not make on the fly decisions, let’s use data to drive our decisions, but let’s not make sweeping changes based on one data point,” he said.

One of White’s areas of expertise is technology, as he has previously led sessions and

written articles on the topic.

He believes although technology can promote classroom instruction, it should not hinder traditional learning, specifically student-teacher interaction.

“We need to remind these students that you can’t stare at a cellphone and engage in a human way,” he said. “But how can you use that cellphone in a productive societal way?”

In February, former district superintendent Renee Schuster announced she would be stepping down to be closer to her family. Of the 43 candidate applications then received, the search was narrowed down to six semi-finalists, then three final candidates before White was selected.

At her final meeting May 27, Schuster thanked the community, the board and had nothing but praise for White.

“You are joining an amazing district,” she said to him.

“The students here are so well behaved and respectful, which is just a mirror of their parents and the community.”

Hinsdale Public Library pivots with purpose to take on challenges As collectors and catalogers of information, librarians are exposed to a lot of great ideas. One that currently resonates with me is the buzzword “pivot.” Eric Ries writes about this in his bestselling book, “The Lean Startup: How Today’s Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Business.”

In this context, a pivot is COMMUNITY keeping one foot firmly plantVOICE ed in your organization’s misKaren sion and core values and then Kleckner using that stability to center yourself while the other foot is free to move about and eventually turn you around.

Could there be a better way of thinking about the challenges facing public libraries right now?

Information has never been more easily accessible. And books, which used to be our bread and butter, can now be delivered wirelessly to a phone the size of a deck of cards.

Should we slow down and shut our doors? Of course not, we should pay attention to how our patrons are using us and pivot to meet them face on.

The Hinsdale Public Library recently completed a main floor improvement project. Enhancements include two new meeting rooms, a digital media lab, a custom travel section, a more flexible teen space and a new coffee bar with a Keurig coffee machine and pods available for purchase.

The Library also opened up the space where audio visual materials and new books are located — dedicating more space and adding more browser friendly shelving. The Adult Services desk moved into this area as well, giving staff the opportunity to work more closely with patrons using these collections.

In the past, better library service meant storing more materials. Listening to our community and looking at the reams of statistics we collect, we now shift to providing better spaces and services. We think of our collections not as things that should be warehoused, but as high-interest items that belong out in our borrowers’ homes (for a couple of weeks, at least).

Of course we’ll keep collecting what our users love to read, watch and listen, too. What we’re shifting to is an environment in which it’s easier and more enjoyable to find what you’re looking for, discover something new, or find a space right in your own backyard to read, work, meet and explore.

Karen Kleckner is the executive director of Hinsdale Public Library.

While donations are still trickling in, the organization expects it will amass nearly $50,000.

Thumbs up and congratulations to the Darien Park District for kicking off its 40th anniversary celebration. To commemorate the milestone, the Park District is incorporating 40 special events to the summer lineup and activity schedule. For the first time, the Darien Park District also will host a weekly farmers market, which began Wednesday at Darien Community Park.

DARIEN – The city of Darien recently agreed to sell the strip mall at 75th Street and Cass Avenue to a private developer.

The Heritage Plaza Shopping Center was purchased in May by developer Darien Pointe for $1.2 million from the city of Darien.

Darien Community Development Director Dan Gombac said the developer is now in a 60-day due diligence period, the pre-closing phase where Darien Pointe. can further investigate the property and building conditions.

“In 60 days, we’ll have a deal or no deal,” Gombac said June 4.

The city had been in the process of creating architectural and engineering plans for the site, which includes a clock tower and water foun-

tain in the layout. At the Jan. 6 City Council meeting, Shive Hattery Architecture Engineering was hired for $67,690 for architecture engineering for the Heritage Center strip mall.

“It always was a goal to sell it to a developer,” Gombac said.

The architecture and engineering plans will remain consistent with what the city originally proposed after Darien Pointe finalizes the purchasing agreement, according to Gombac. Darien City Administrator Bryon Vana said the developer also agreed to reimburse the city for about $117,000 in architect and engineer costs.

Additionally, the developer will contribute up to $50,000 for improvements to the public area at the southeast corner of Heritage Center strip mall.

HINSDALE – District 181 will soon implement a threeyear plan to replace furniture in the nine schools’ media resource centers.

On Monday, the District 181 Board of Education unanimously approved the expenditure – board president Marty Turek and member Michael Nelson were absent – has allocated $25,000 to each school and plans to addresses three schools per year for three years.

Hinsdale Middle School, however, will receive an extra $11,191 to purchase additional furniture, including study pods.

Accordingly the district has budgeted $86,191 for 201415 and $75,000 across the following two school years for new furniture in the media resource centers. The district will now gather bids from furniture suppliers.

District 181 assistant superintendent of Business and Operations Gary Frisch said he’s noticed the furniture in the centers was outdated and hard to move or rearrange.

The $25,000 allotted to each school will be used to purchase more mobile tables, chairs and desks, he said.

Yet, some board members raised concerns about the budgeted money, questioning whether it was a priority considering the unexpected expenditures that occurred ear-

“We think that there’s a basic standard that the district should provide and that is the tables and chairs,” Frisch said. “Right now a lot of the tables and chairs are really hard to move and they’re not stackable.”

The board was still on the fence until Monroe School Media Resource Center Director Maureen Miks explained the concern is not merely mobility, but also the poor condition of the furniture, which resulted in children getting splinters and other injuries.

“If you wore a nice sweater you would be attached to one of my chairs,” she said.

She contended that nobody would use the current furniture unless it was refinished.

“If there are issues where we might have a student injured or a staff member injured when they’re trying to move this furniture, then that’s an issue,” Superintendent Don White said.

Area woman opens animal hospital in Darien

By DANNY CIAMPRONE

If you go

dciamprone@shawmedia.com DARIEN – While many college kids may go on a shopping spree at IKEA before moving away to school, April Finan had just one item on her checklist – a greyhound.

“I was determined to have one when I got older,” Finan said. “I’ve had up to five greyhounds and greyhound rescue is something I’m very passionate about.”

Although Finan’s parents didn’t share their daughter’s enthusiasm for greyhounds, it wasn’t merely a passing phase for the Westmont resident, as it not only fueled her love for animals, but also lead her to a career as a veterinarian.

“I was always really good at science,” she said. “I was one of the nerdy kids and I was always very passionate about animals, so I thought that would be a really good combination to pursue animals and science.”

After graduating from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in 2005, Fi-

The first day of school for 2014-15 will move from Aug. 21 to 25 to create additional staff development opportunities for the start of the year, according to District 181.

The last day of school will now be Friday, June 5 rather than Wednesday June 3, if no emergency days are used.

Dates for winter and spring breaks were not affected by the calendar change. Key dates are:

much as Darien picked me,” she said.

The hospital is equipped with digital radiography, ultrasound, dentistry services, surgical services an in-house laboratory and a pharmacy. Services offered at the animal hospital also include wellness education and care, immunizations, parasite control programs, heart

worm education and prevention, new puppy/kitten care and senior pet care.

Aside from getting ready for the initial startup, Finan said she’s most looking forward to forming relationships with clients and keeping animals healthy.

But for some of those animals, going to the vet is just as scary as when the vacuum makes an appearance, but Finan said it doesn’t have to be.

“One of the best things people can do is bring their dog to the vet when they’re not sick,

just for what we call a fun visit,” she said. “They don’t have anything scary happen, everyone is just happy to see them and then they think it’s a really fun place.”

And making the animal hospital in Darien a fun place is important to Finan, as she wants to put her own personal touch on the facility.

“When you walk in, it doesn’t feel like you’re in an animal hospital,” she said.

“The colors are very bright, there’s a ton of natural light and I really put a lot of effort into the design aspect of it, so it’s a nice mix of modern with a few little rustic touches.”

Finan Animal Hospital began construction in March and will host an open house from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday with events and activities such as raffles, lunch and a chance to meet the staff. There also will be complimentary nail trims for pets.

“My hope is that it will be a very fun and inviting place and it won’t feel like ‘Oh I’m in an animal hospital now,’” she said.

Hinsdale South teacher receives Davidson Award

To the Editor: Roger Kempa’s letter last week denigrated members of our community who voiced reasoned disagreement with his prominent poster at the December 2013 public meeting at which, in a 4-3 vote, the Hinsdale Township High School District 86 Board of Education decided to set a flat tax levy that fails to account for the rise in the Consumer Price Index.

Mr. Kempa praised President Richard Skoda and his three Board allies for this vote that declares, in Mr. Kempa’s words, “local property tax money

belongs to all the people.”

It seems fair to reflect upon Mr. Kempa’s objectivity, since some of that local property tax money now belongs especially to him, sitting in his pockets as the result of the February 2014

decision by these same four Board members to hire him as District 86 Interim chief financial controller and treasurer.

8SOUND OFF

A distortion of ‘no troops left behind’ Various members of the media who have abandoned journalism in favor of protecting the president are purposely revising the meaning of our military’s promise to leave no troops behind. The promise is for units to remain on the field of battle and carry out action necessary to secure the return of their brothers in arms who may be captured, wounded or deceased.

The implication is that a unit is incomplete without all members present. Lately, politicians have distorted the meaning of this promise to include a deserter and to rationalize a lopsided prisoner exchange. … Shamefully included in this rationalization is negotiation with terrorists and brazen violation of federal law, by not seeking the advice and consent of Congress, even after promising that such would be done.

County Sheriff’s deputies injured on the job were no longer getting their medical covered by the DuPage County Board? The County Board is reviewing this decision with representatives for the Sheriff’s deputies. It is an outrage the county would even consider such a thing. It is a slap in the face to all law enforcement. Let’s hope our DuPage County Board comes to its senses, realizing what it’s done, and make it right.

Call for DuPage Board transparency Shame on you DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin and County Board members for trying to slip yourselves and other elected officials a pay raise by putting it on the agenda the Friday before the Memorial Day weekend for a board meeting the following Tuesday. At the meeting, Glen Ellyn resident Jean Kaczmarek brought this up at public comment, saying it was in violation of an act, which requires six days notice for benefit packages totaling $950,000 or more. As a result, the item was postponed until a special meeting at 10 a.m. June 3. This is not about Democrats or Republicans. This is about our tax dollars and transparency.

The choice of state for Obama’s library is simple, since he claims birthrights in the state of Hawaii, it should be obvious. [But] since Chicago insists that it should be built in Illinois, then by all means the choice of location is simple.

The home he owns now should be the library of choice since he hasn’t done anything great since he has taken office, but bring America down and throwing the seniors under the bus as well! The taxpayers should not have to fund this library!

Restaurant reviews

Wheaton’s Il Sogno promises dream dinner out WHEATON – During a sunny afternoon girls day out, my friend and I made our way to Il Sogno Ristorante, perched on a second floor in downtown Wheaton. Summoned to refuel by our growling stomachs, we gladly took the hostess’ invitation to sit near one of the attractive dining room’s plum spots – along a large window looking out over Front Street.

Our attentive waiter brought a basket of warm bread to our table, which I happily dipped in olive oil and fresh Parmesan cheese, while my friend and I questioned him about the menu and day’s specials.

We quickly cleared all three plates of the appetizer, scooping up runaway tomatoes with our forks.

Before our entrees arrived, my friend enjoyed a satisfying minestrone soup filled with generously-sized pieces of potato, carrot and other vegetables. I chose a crisp salad with the house dressing, a tasty and refreshing option after strolling all afternoon.

While choosing our main course, our waiter explained the chef would be happy to prepare a meal from the menu sans garlic for my friend, because everything is made fresh to order. Although in my opinion, a touch of garlic elevates almost any savory dish, my friend has an aversion to the flavor.

Pleased with our waiter’s offer, she chose a garlic-free Tilapia Francese, in which the fish filet is lightly egg-battered, then sauteed in a lemon-butter sauce and served with sauteed spinach. Steam was still rising from her plate when it arrived, and she raved about the flavor combina-

ALL-AREA MVP

Hard work: Sarah Warren’s hallmark

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DARIEN – Sarah Warren makes defending look so effortless one would think she was born to do it.

But looks are one thing. The Hinsdale South senior said the reality is much different.

“Actually, there’s been a lot of work that goes into it,” Warren said. “I played on travel soccer since I was eight, and I was lucky to be with some elite coaches. Coach [Jen] Belmonte and coach [Pat] Wolf have been a great help [at Hinsdale South], and our other defenders, too. I’m the last one back so it looks like I’m making the hero plays, but without them defending and communicating a certain way, I wouldn’t be able to do it. It’s definitely a team effort.”

Warren, the all-area team MVP, has a blend of speed, athleticism and instincts which make her a lockdown defender, but it is not the only asset which makes her the player she is.

“I think speed helps, but it definitely comes down to knowing the game,” Warren said. “If you have speed but you don’t read the ball, you’re not going to be so much faster that you can catch everyone.

So reading the game, which I’ve learned over the years, is probably my biggest asset, but speed is nice to have.”

It was Hinsdale South’s defense which helped propel the team to its first state finals berth since 1990, and it all came in Warren’s first season of high school soccer. Prior to this season, she ran track for South in the spring and played club soccer the rest of the year.

“This is the best year possible to come on the team. First year on the team and playing at state? You couldn’t ask for

Warren’s four favorites n PLAYER: Alex Morgan n SPORTS MOVIE: “Miracle” n CLASS: Physics or calculus n MUSIC: Country and new

hip-hop a better year,” Warren said.

“And it’s not just the placement at state, it’s how much fun we’re having. We’re always laughing and everyone is always positive, so it’s just a great experience overall.”

“We didn’t have her until this year, but it’s no surprise what she’s been able to do for us,” Hinsdale South head coach Pat Wolf said. “She’s a great player.”

At South, track and soccer took up most of Warren’s free time. She will continue her soccer career at the University of Illinois and pour more of her time into a different secondary sport – speed skating.

“I’ve trained [in Milwaukee] the last four or five years.

They have a [speed skating] ring at U of I, so I’ll be training there while I play soccer,” she said. “I’ll be speed skating and hopefully making the 2018 Olympics. That’s the goal.”

When Warren steps on campus in Champaign, the Illini will be getting more than just a talented soccer player. They also will be getting a player willing to work to improve on the talent she already has.

“I want to say [they’re getting] a player that plays with a lot of heart,” she said.

“You’re going to go up against girls that are a lot better, but heart always beats skill.

That’s my motto. If you work hard out there, no one is goH. Rick Bamman - hbamman@shawmedia.com ing to beat you one-on-one. Hinsdale South’s Sarah Warren blocks a kick June 6 in a Class 2A state semifinal game against Normal West.

Have the most heart and you Warren’s ability as a defender helped lead the Hornets to state and helped her garner all-area team MVP win the game.” honors.

Here’s Suburban Life Media’s 2014 selection With the season in the books, it’s time to celebrate the accomplishments of some of the top

players from locals schools with the 2014 girls soccer all-area team.

School: Hinsdale South Year: Senior Impact: A key piece of South’s stingy back line which made life tough on opponents, Bifero was an ace at cutting off attacking runs. With the all-sectional selection along the back line, the Hornets won 13 games by shutout, including four in the postseason as they reached the state finals.

School: Hinsdale Central Year: Senior Impact: A midfielder with a nose for the goal, Cerny was a key piece to the Red Devils’ attack and finished the season with seven goals and four assists as Central won a regional title.

The Washington University recruit was an IHSSCA all-sectional selection

School: Hinsdale Central Year: Senior Impact: Central’s defense was tough all season, and Chetosky was a key cog on the back line. The outside defender was part of a unit which allowed just 16 goals all season and held 11 opponents scoreless. The Valparaiso recruit was West Suburban Silver all-conference.

School: Lemont Year: Senior Impact: Described by her coach as the heart and soul of the team, this four-year goalkeeper very rarely was scored upon. An IHSSCA allstate selection, Fritz posted 20 shutouts this spring, and she will continue her soccer career at the University of Illinois-Chicago.

School: Lemont Year: Senior Impact: One of the top players in the state, this senior did it all on the soccer field for the Indians. Helping Lemont to three supersectional berths and two trips to the state semifinals in her four years, the IHSSCA all-state selection scored 28 goals this spring. She will play for Northwestern in the fall.

School: Downers Grove North Year: Senior Impact: The Colorado State recruit put together one of the finest seasons North has seen, both on and off the field. She led the way for the Trojans on the field with 19 goals and 17 assists. Off the field, she was IHSSCA allstate, West Suburban Silver all-conference and Chicago Fire all-state academic.

Honorable mention

Val Melo

Michelle Morefield

Ava Porlier

Nikia Smith

Sarah Warren

School: Lisle Year: Senior Impact: Dubbed Lisle’s best player by head coach Paul Kohorn, Melo had a goal and two assists this season, but she was most valuable on defense. She was the captain of the back row which helped Lisle post 12 shutouts this season. Interstate Eight all-conference for the second straight year, she will play at Augustana.

School: Benet Year: Senior Impact: The key cog in Benet’s midfield as the Redwings transitioned to a more offensive-minded game plan, Morefield was the main distributor on the attack but also was able to finish her own goals. A solid two-way player, Morefield was an IHSSCA all-sectional pick.

School: Downers Grove South Year: Senior Impact: A key presence for the Mustangs, Porlier was equally strong moving forward in the attack or dropping back to defend.

Thanks in part to Porlier’s strong two-way play, the Mustangs won their 12th consecutive West Suburban Gold title, going 6-0 and outscoring their conference opponents 30-0.

School: Bolingbrook Year: Senior Impact: On her first three years on the Raiders’ varsity, Smith made her name as a defender. This season, she moved to forward and sparked Bolingbrook’s more offensive-minded attack by leading the team in goals.

The Northwestern recruit was IHSSCA all-state and SouthWest Suburban Blue all-conference.

School: Hinsdale South Year: Senior Impact: In her only season of high school soccer, the all-state selection anchored Hinsdale South’s defense and helped guide the Hornets to their first state trophy. Warren’s speed and instincts made it hard for opponents to generate and sustain attacking pressure.

South’s state trip a ‘special’ experience

By JASON ROSSI

State semifinal

jrossi@shawmedia.com NAPERVILLE – There will be a lot for Sarah Warren, Mary Claire Ladd and the rest of Hinsdale South’s girls soccer team to remember about this season in years to come.

A 3-1 loss against defending state champ Chatham Glenwood in the Class 2A third-place game on Saturday wasn’t the ending the Hornets had in mind, but the final chapter won’t define the rest of the story.

“It’s pretty special,” Ladd said of the Hornets’ playoff run. “We’ve never made it to the 2A finals, so to be the first team to do it was great. Making this run and playing together as a team is great. We said from the beginning this should be our year. Our goal was to make it here and we made it here.

“It’s a great feeling [winning a state trophy], and I think all the girls now, we’ll stay in touch forever. This team is so close and being able to do it with these girls is just fantastic.”

The trip to state came with a couple of highlights for South (19-8-1).

With the fourth-place finish, the Hornets earned their first state trophy. In previous state trips in 1988, 1989 and 1990, they came home empty handed.

When Warren scored late in the game against Glenwood, it marked the first time South had scored a goal at state.

The Hornets also came close to winning their first game at state. A well-placed shot by Normal West’s Abby Thompson was the only blemish in an otherwise sparkling defensive game for South as it lost 1-0 in a state semifinal game on June 6. They outshot the Wildcats 8-5.

“Defensively, I thought we did a great job,” Warren said of the game against Normal.

“Every team is the same in our eyes. We go out there and we think we’re playing the world’s best team. We knew they had really good girls and a flip-thrower, but the key is we played hard on every girl.”

That solid defensive effort against Normal extended to sophomore keeper Jean Cote.

She confidently came off her line to stifle several dangerous scoring chances and she stopped a penalty kick in the game’s fifth minute.

“I think Jean was great for us,” Ladd said. “She’s unstoppable and I’m so glad we have her back there. … It was a great game defensively for us.”

The Hornets went a long time between their last state finals appearance and this one, but the gap between this one and next one could be significantly shorter. In addition to Cote, sophomore Madison Cebular, who started at state,

returns to the defense. Juniors Haley Flemm and Kelly Flemm are both slated to return to the midfield and sophomore Courtney Cavalli and freshman Cali Vanderplow will return at the top of the attack.

Eight other players from the state team could also return.

“I believe next year, that this team is going to be just as good as this year. I actually think they’re going to get first in state,” Warren said. “It’s nice that we can segue [the younger girls] in. Next year, I’m really excited to see what these girls can do.”
