Sound of illegal fireworks incites panic at AMC Yorktown theater
Boyfriend guilty of attempted murder in 2011 stabbing By MATTHEW PIECHALAK mpiechalak@shawmedia.com
By MATTHEW PIECHALAK mpiechalak@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – An illegal fireworks display set off near a Lombard movie theater Saturday night likely is what caused temporary panic for some patrons who mistook the noise for gun fire. Police responded to a call of shots fired at 10:31 p.m. Saturday at AMC Yorktown 17, 80 Yorktown Shopping Center. Prior to arrival, a Yorktown security guard, who carries a police radio, alerted responding officers the loud noises heard through the the-
ater’s exterior walls had been fireworks, Lombard Police Deputy Chief Tom Wirsing said. “Officers arrived and determined it probably was fireworks set off in the property east of the theater,” Wirsing said. The sound of the fireworks incited temporary panic inside the theater, as many patrons quickly exited the building, Wirsing said. “The indication we got when we arrived is that it was very chaotic and people were upset,” he said. No injuries were reported in the incident. Police are in-
vestigating, but no suspects have been identified, Wirsing said. The Westin Hotel at Yorktown, north of the movie theater, occasionally will set off fireworks displays – to coincide with special events. However, Saturday’s incident did not come from the hotel, said Wirsing, who added the fireworks were illegal. “The Westin sets off fireworks as part of wedding packages, but they notify Yorktown so they can tell their patrons and alleviate concern,” Wirsing said. “That’s why we are taking it very seriously.”

LOMBARD – A Chicago man who repeatedly stabbed his former girlfriend with a steak knife in a Lombard condo in 2011 was found guilty this past week of attempted murder, aggravated domestic battery and armed violence. D e m e t r i c e Demetrice Tompkins, 49, of Tompkins the 2300 block of East 73rd Street, Chicago, was convicted June 5 by a DuPage County jury following two hours of closing arguments, confirmed Paul Darrah, spokesman for the DuPage County State’s Attorney. The trial lasted two days, Darrah said. The attack took place Dec. 12, 2011, in Tompkins’ brother’s condo in the 2200 block of South Stewart Avenue in Lom-

bard, Darrah said. The woman, who survived the attack, suffered seven stab wounds to the chest and abdomen. The victim was the mother of Tompkins’ two sons, Darrah confirmed. Tompkins, who reportedly had an on-and-off relationship with the victim, had been out drinking before he confronted her in the bathroom of his brother’s condo, Darrah said. The victim had a condo unit in the same complex. Tompkins was arrested minutes after the attack in the victim’s condo, Darrah said. He faces up to 30 years in prison. Tompkins will next appear in court July 2, at which time a date will be set for sentencing.

LOMBARD – For Lombard resident Wayne Rethford, Scottish history is in the blood. Rethford’s family immigrated to the United States before the American Revolution, and the 87-year-old has spent decades chronicling the history of Scots in Chicago. He is co-author of the 1997 book, “The Scots of Chicago: Quiet Immigrants and Their New Society,” and is the resident historian for the Illinois St. Andrews Society, the parent company of the Chicago Scots organization. Rethford also was past president of the society. On June 20 and 21, Rethford will run a booth to discuss Scottish history at the Chicago Scots 28th Annual Scottish Festival & Highland Games at Hamilton Lakes in Itasca. The event is the largest in the Midwest and allows everyone to

learn about Scottish heritage, Rethford said. “If someone is interested in Scottish history, it’s a good place to find out about it,” Rethford said. The festival has doubled in size since its inception at Grant Park 28 years ago, Rethford said,and includes heavy athletics, a rugby exhibition, a dance competition, Celtic music, a youth soccer tournament, show dogs, food and genealogy.

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LOMBARD – The Lombard Fire Department is investigating an early morning fire that caused about $10,000 at a manufacturing building on the north side of the village. Crews were dispatched at 3:52 a.m. Wednesday for a report of an active fire at Grimm Metal Fabricators, 1121 N. Garfield St., Lombard Assistant Fire Chief Jerry Howell said. Firefighters ar-
rived to find the building’s sprinkler system was activated and the warehouse portion of the large building was engulfed in smoke, he said. “Our guys got there and they went inside to discover the sprinkler system was in fact flowing water,” Howell said. The fire was upgraded to a general alarm, which brought assistance from York Center and Addison fire protection districts, as well as the Villa Park, Oak
Brook and Elmhurst fire departments. No injuries were reported and the building was unoccupied at the time of the fire, Howell said, adding that there is nothing suspicious about the fire. The fire was isolated to the back of the warehouse and kept in check by the sprinkler system, he said. “They save lives and property,” he added. “In this case, the fire was kept small by the system.”

The truth about Independence Day Spring is turning into summer, and with Memorial Day behind us, we look forward to the Fourth of July. While doing some research for this column, I came across some interesting facts about the Declaration of Independence. John Adams predicted in a letter to his wife, Abigail, that Americans would celebrate their Independence Day on July 2. He was only off by two days. Not too bad for government work. On July 2, 1776, Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, signed only by Charles Thompsonth, the secretary of Congress, and John Hancock, the presiding officer. COMMUNITY Two days later, Congress VOICE approved the revised version John and ordered it to be printed W. Valle and distributed to the states and military officers. The other signatures would have to wait. For Adams, it was the momentum toward achieving American independence initiated on July 2 that future generations would consider worth celebrating, not the approval of this document on July 4. Interestingly, the pomp and circumstances that many Americans presume took place on July 4, 1776, actually occurred days to weeks afterward. The Philadelphia Evening Post published the Declaration’s full text in its July 6 newspaper. And the Declaration of Independence was publicly read from the State House in Philadelphia on July 8. Later that day, it was read in Easton, Penn., and Trenton, N.J., and to the local militia to provide much needed inspiration against the formidable British. The shouting and firing of muskets that followed these first public readings represent America’s first celebrations of independence. The following year, no member of Congress thought about commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence until July 3, one day too late. So the first organized elaborate celebration of independence occurred the following day, July 4, 1777, in Philadelphia. Since then, the tradition of celebrating America’s independence on the Fourth of July has continued. And, in a strange twist of fate, on July 4, 1826, former Presidents Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, who were fellow patriots and co-authors of the Declaration of Independence, died on the same day within five hours of each other. As the 90-year-old Adams lay on his deathbed while the country celebrated Independence Day, his last words were, “Thomas Jefferson still survives.” He was mistaken: Jefferson had died five hours earlier at the age of 82.

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!

LOMBARD – The village of Lombard is reminding residents and the local business community to beware of direct calls, mailing and door-to-door marketing related to the sale of electricity. The village does not send people door to door or have them call residents to sign up for energy suppliers. Door-to-door marketing requires a solicitor’s permit. The village board last month decided to switch its energy supplier back to Com Ed after the energy company offered lower rates than other bidders. Residents have the option to chose a different supplier but should always initiate first contact with the provider to eliminate the chance of a potential scam. For information on electric options and price comparisons, visit pluginillinois.org. All information regarding the Electric Aggregation Program and the village’s recent switch back to Com Ed is available at www. villageoflombard.org/electric.

Visiting the diner made famous by Jerry Seinfeld and his TV friends was a touristy perk for the group of local teachers who recently traveled to New York City. But snapping photos in front of the iconic Tom’s Restaurant sign paled in comparison to what the teachers experienced next door. That’s where select teachers from Glenbard District 87 and Jay Stream Middle School in Carol Stream spent the day, April 28, brainstorming with NASA scientists at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies – which is immediately adjacent to the restaurant. “I had never had an experience like this and never thought I would,” Glenbard West teacher Eric Lindberg said of working with the scientists. Lindberg, an AP environmental science teacher, was one of 10 teachers from the four District 87 high schools and Jay Stream to attend the Climate Change in the Classroom workshop. The scientists prepared lesson plans related to climate change, then worked with the teachers to adapt those plans for their classrooms, keeping in mind Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core State Standards. Lindberg helped develop a model-building exercise that would demonstrate to his students the effect of greenhouse gases on global warming. His group included a NASA expert and fellow environmental science teachers Deb Karavites-Uhl of Glenbard North and Dave Krodel of Glenbard East. The scientists excelled at breaking down the information and putting it into terms a layman can understand, Krodel said. “These guys, they are not your stereotypical lab rats,” he said. Bringing the experience back to the students has been just as rewarding as the trip itself. Lindberg started by asking his Glenbard West students to open a conversation about the topic on the school’s Intranet platform. A liaison from the NASA research center then

Glen Ellyn woman’s doll line now on Walmart shelves By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com GLEN ELLYN – Glen Ellyn resident and creator of the Go! Go! Sports Girls doll line Jodi Bondi Norgaard had a business breakthrough after attending a seminar on women and toys hosted by Walmart at an industry event in 2013. When the seminar was finished, she pitched her latest idea – a new spin on her existing characters which incorporated books and reading – to the big-box store’s buyers. The product, called the Go! Go! Sports Girls Read and Play series, hits shelves this week. “To see it come to this is very exciting,” said Kara Douglass Thom, who is Bondi Norgaard’s project partner and author. Bondi Norgaard joined the toy business seven years ago because she felt many dolls for young girls pigeonholed them by emphasizing appearance and clothing. In response, she created Dream Big Toy Company and the Go! Go! girls – a line of dolls designed to be relatable
Buy the books To purchase a Go! Go! Sports Girls Read and Play set, go to www.target.com, www.amazon.com or select Walmart locations, including stores in Bloomingdale and Villa Park. Sets retail for $24.99 and books cost $4.99.
and to encourage healthy behavior in elementary schoolers. Each doll has a featured sport, secret inspirational message, backpack with accessories, athletic uniform and backstory. The Go! Go! girls have seen their share of success. The first doll – Tennis Girl Gracie, inspired by Bondi Norgaard’s now 17-year-old daughter, Grace – launched at the 2008 U.S. Open, where Bondi Norgaard sold 500 toys in six days. Now, the line includes 13 dolls, all of which promote exercise and nutrition.

fraud is indeed long and not left wanting for examples. It’s estimated that the aforementioned 1982 governor’s race saw over 100,000 fraudulent votes – 10 percent of the entire city’s vote count – in Chicago alone through multiple voting and box stuffers casting ballots for deceased former residents. The Chicago disaster resulted in one of the Department of Justice’s largest voter fraud prosecutions in history. The 1960 presidential election saw disputed vote counts between Chicago and downstate, and as recently as 2002 several dozen elderly Chicago residents found their requested absentee ballots had al-
ready been filled out for them. The latter story resulted in felony convictions of two Cook Country elections officials. Brian Gladstein, director of programs and strategy at Common Cause Illinois, praised the effort to widen the window for potential voters. “The cornerstone of our Democracy is to provide the greatest opportunity to vote,” he said. “It creates an environment where more people are civically engaged and care who wins elections.” Gladstein cited low voter turnout in Illinois over the past few election cycles as ample reason to expand the registration process. While voting in Illinois
doesn’t require an ID, registering to vote does. Illinois residents who register on Election Day would be required to provide a driver’s license or Social Security number in order to successfully register and then proceed to vote. On the question of fraud, Gladstein says the solution isn’t restricting voter access, but modernizing the system. “We’d love to see electronic polling booths in every precinct in the state,” he said. “Double voting is a challenge, but if all voting was electronic, the database could track who is registered and if they voted already and would prohibit multiple votes from the same registration number.”

Despite Illinois’ history of voting fraud, lawmakers are relaxing registration requirements for poll goers this November. The legislation would allow election-day registration and require expanded early voting throughout the state, with a special focus on college campuses. The amendment was attached to a minimum wage ballot referendum bill. Both passed through the general assembly last week. Along with requiring higher education facilities to conduct early voting drives in “high traffic areas” of campus, the bill also requires colleges and universities to send emails to their students with detailed voter registration process information in general election years. The emails will include links where students can register online. The legislation raises concerns for state Sen. Kirk Dillard, R-Hinsdale, who stressed that voter fraud is not a partisan issue. “In a state with a history like Illinois, I’m always leery of allowing folks to walk right in off the street without proper identification to vote,” he said. “Illinois has a worldwide reputation for voter fraud.” State Sen. Don Harmon, D-Oak Park, sponsored the amendment from the Senate
and lauded the legislation. “Anything that makes it easier for people to vote is a good thing,” Harmon said. “This is a meaningful step forward in the evolution of dramatic progress in voter access.” Hans van Spakovsky, manager of election law reform and senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, says efforts like this don’t generally increase voter turnout, although that is their intended goal. He also said there’s a reason one party seems to consistently push these measures when they have the opportunity. “Loosening voter registration rules is generally an attempt by Democrats to attract demographics of people they think will vote for them. In this case, it’s young people and college students. History also shows us that when voter fraud does occur, Democrats are usually the ones to benefit.” Spakovsky has written hundreds of articles and conducted dozens of studies on voter fraud, including a lengthy dissertation on Chicago’s voter fraud problems in the governor’s race of 1982. “This is an invitation to fraud,” Spakovsky said. “Illinois is already a no-ID state, and it amazes me that with the state’s proven history of voting fraud it’s now going to be even easier to go from polling place to polling place and vote multiple times.” Illinois’ history of voter

Area teen benefits from cystic fibrosis drug By MARI GRIGALIUNAS

mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – Thanks to a new drug, 16-year-old Dylan Roesch, spends a lot less time every day managing his cystic fibrosis and a whole lot more time playing sports, strumming his guitar and just enjoying being a teenager. “Before, every morning I’d have to wake up and take 15 pills,” Dylan said, describing just one of his daily routines before he began taking Kalydeco. Three years after Dylan was born, he was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation explains a defective gene results in the body producing thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and obstructs the pancreas, stopping natural enzymes from helping the body break down food. When Dylan’s father, Dan, president of Larry Roesch Auto Group in Elmhurst and Bensenville, heard Dylan’s diagnosis, he worried about what future his son might have since there is no cure for cystic fibrosis. The next 12 years of Dylan’s life were filled with many med-

sdale Central junior varsity volleyball game. Thanks to Kalydeco, a pill Dylan began taking twice a day in 2012, the Hinsdale teen has been able to reduce his medication by 80 percent. His feeding tube is gone, his lung function is above 90 percent, and he has plenty of time to worry about what he wants to do with his future. “My day-to-day worries changed a lot,” Dylan said. Dylan’s laundry list of hobbies and interests range from playing guitar at School of Rock in Hinsdale to motocross racing, snowboarding and, of course, sharing in the family passion for cars. “He loves cars,” his father said with a tone of pride in his voice. Kalydeco improves the defective protein Dylan has. Specifically, it only works in people with the G551D mutation like Dylan, but the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation continues to fund research to find treatments for people with other defective genes and ultimately, a cure. On May 9, during Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month, the foundation hosted its 10th annual Casino Chicago event at the Swissôtel in Chicago. It raised nearly $400,000, setting a new record. Dan Roesch has co-chaired the event since its inception. While he’s forever thankful for the opportunity Dylan was granted as one of just 1,200 patients who qualified to take Kalydeco, he is dedicated to continue giving back to the foundation until a cure is found. “It’s just cool that they’re trying to help out,” Dylan said of the fundraiser that drew in more than 700 guests. While he’s privileged to qualify for Kalydeco, Dylan realizes about 96 percent of those with cystic fibrosis don’t. “We need to get it approved to all other genes,” Dylan said.

While toenails may undergo age-related changes, discoloration, thickening, brittleness, or yellow or white streaking on their sides may be indications of a fungal infection. As we get older, reduced circulation and natural thickening of the toenails makes it more likely that a fungus will take hold. To make a diagnosis, the dermatologist may scrape a sample from under the affected nail(s) for examination under a microscope to determine which fungus is responsible. While over-the-counter creams and ointments are available to treat toenail fungus, they are generally not all that effective. Better results come with a prescription from the dermatologist for oral antifungal
Election season is ‘attack season’ for politicians It’s election campaign season, and for some politicians, education seems to be a target again. Along with the economy, environment and security, polling shows issues surrounding education, particularly public education, garner attention and focus. Thus some politicians, who are trying to find a story or narrative for their campaign, can’t resist attacking public education. Let’s look at the typical strategies taken from the “Attack Public Education” playbook. While most of us are aware of these decades-old tactics, it’s good to be reminded and be wary. They include the following:
COMMUNITY VOICE David Larson schools on a large scale. They include purposeful exclusion of special needs students, financial improprieties by unregulated third party school management companies and chaotic governance environments. We all know vouchers can be a disguise for tuition assistance for a private, separate and exclusive education. This undermines the longstanding core principles and beliefs upon which our country was founded.

They do not control domestic abuse, alcoholism or neighborhood violence, drugs or safety. Elected officials should stand up for our remarkable teachers and local public schools as they overcome these significant challenges in preparing our students for the global workforce. Our amazing public school teachers have never been more prepared, worked harder, been held more accountable and met greater challenges to help our students succeed. So let’s hope when our politicians are on the campaign trail they champion and advocate for the bedrock of our democratic society – our local public schools and their amazing teachers.

In one book, the heroine discovers her best friend is on an opposing soccer team. “It brings the dolls to life,” Bondi Norgaard said. “It’s an interesting, fun component.” The books also incorporate facts about each featured

Cantigny Golf celebrates 25th anniversary
LBS/VPA
WHEATON – It didn’t take long after Cantigny Golf’s June 5, 1989 opening for it to be recognized as a top course. It was named as the Best New Public Course in America in the January 1990 issue of “Golf Digest.” Two and a half decades later, the course still takes its original charge of publicly accessible golf seriously, said Executive Director Mike Nass. It was McCormick Foundation board member and former Chicago Tribune editor Clayton Kirkpatrick who felt public access golf was important to the area and the foundation. “He kind of pushed for this, not only as a service for the community but also as a way for the trust to generate a little income to offset expenses of the [Cantigny] park and [the First Division] museum that are pretty much free to public,” Nass said. Throughout its history, the course has avoided forcing patrons to pay membership fees to play on its three nine-hole courses spanning 275 acres – something which has kept it accessible for the 30,000 to 40,000 golfers of all abilities and income levels who visit each year. “We do still have a great group of committed, loyal golfers,” Head Golf Pro Patrick Lynch said. “We are kind of the private club experience at a public course. The loyalty’s there, but they are booking times and coming out each
week. So we always try to make sure we have availability throughout the day every day where the general public can come whenever.” That openness extends to the course’s community outreach through its Youth Links, Golf Academy and caddy programs and its work with area nonprofits such as the Marionjoy Rehabilitation Hospital. “That’s been guidance from our board going back all the way to 1989 – yes, there’s a need to have golf outings to fill in certain times of the day and for businesses, but they wanted us to consider and take in not-for-profits first before we filled any open dates with corporate outings,” Nass said. He added because of how the business has changed over the past decade, being as open to others as possible has become a necessity. “People have gotten busier with their families, kids have many more things they can choose from – we’re no longer just competing, so to speak, with other golf courses, we’re competing with people’s time,” Nass said. But Nass is confident the course will continue to be part of the lives of golfers in the DuPage County area for years. “It’s pretty quiet out here, there’s no highways going by the property, no houses on the property,” he said. “Once you’re out playing, you’re pretty out in a quiet serene environment. Hopefully that helps relieve some of the tensions of the week or day.”

Consumer Tips
How to personalize your backyard with a beautiful concrete path
(BPT) - Paths provide the practical purpose of connecting two or more locations but a well-made walkway that will stand up for years can enrich the natural landscape of a backyard and complement the exterior look of a home.
While traditionally popular materials for creating paths, like brick and stone, are attractive and durable, they can be expensive and challenging to install. An easy and affordable alternative is to build a path yourself using a plastic form and pre-mixed packaged concrete. Taking this approach not only minimizes cost, time and headache, the preference and personal taste of each individual homeowner dictates the color, style and movement in the finished concrete path.
Steps for laying a path
It starts with selecting the style of path, which can range from a natural looking country stone pattern to a more standard running bond brick pattern. The QUIKRETE Walkmaker forms are 2 foot by 2 foot and conveniently hold one 80-pound bag of concrete, so homeowners can work on the path at their own pace by following these simple directions.
* Remove the sod and soil to the desired width, shape and length of path, be sure to keep it as flat and level as possible.
with the concrete mix, remove the form and smooth the surface. Repeat the process until the path is complete.
* Slowly mix the concrete and water in a wheelbarrow with a garden hoe, shovel or in a concrete mixer according to the directions on the bag.
* To create a curved walkway, after removing the form from the freshly poured section of path, reposition the form in the direction of the curve and press down to slice off the corner. Use a trowel to consolidate and smooth cut off edges.
* Lay the form at the beginning of the path and fill with concrete mix, being sure to smooth the surface with a trowel. * Promptly remove the form and smooth the edges of the path with a trowel before the concrete mix hardens. For a nonslip finish, brush the surface with a stiff broom. * Continue by placing the form against the completed section of the path. Then fill
Remember when working with cementitious products, always wear eye protection and gloves.

Consumer Tips
Lead with style:
How to create clean, crisp curb appeal for your home’s entry (BPT) - Whether you are building a new home, or want to refresh your existing home, choosing a contemporary style creates high-class curb appeal. But, what goes into contemporary home styling? Among the various ways architects and interior designers describe “contemporary,” two words come up again and again: “simple” and “sophisticated.” For example, interior decorator Coral Nafie describes it as, “fundamentally, simplicity, subtle sophistication, texture and clean lines help to define contemporary style decorating. Interiors showcase space rather than things. By focusing on color, space, and shape, contemporary interiors are sleek and fresh.”
* Irregular, asymmetrical façade * Strong, geometric shapes * Distinctive roofline - sometimes flat, other times gabled - usually with a wide eave overhang * Natural, often local, building materials Your home might be a crisp marvel of modern architecture, a mid-century rambler or some other style. In any case, a simple way to create contemporary curb appeal is with a sophisticated front entry, starting at the door.
“Traditional front doors, as in Colonial homes, had a lot of decorative features,” says Brad Loveless, marketing and product development manager for Simpson Door Company. “Picture “Less is more: smooth profiles instead molding, raised panels, dentil shelves of ornamentation,” adds decorator Lisa and elaborate knobs, knockers and Frederick. hinges. Today, many homeowners, As seen from the outside, the National As- particularly those on the upper end, sociation of Realtors notes contemporary look for entry doors that are much more clean and crisp. Contemporary homes feature these design elements:
door styles have straight lines, flat panels and simple geometric shapes like squares, diamonds and rectangles.” In keeping with the contemporary theme of using natural materials, wood and glass are popular in entry doors. You can select from dozens of readily available wood species and some manufacturers will make a door out of any species you choose. Glass options range from simple, clear glass, to textures that balance light and privacy. With the thousands of permutations and combinations available in contemporary door designs, it can be difficult knowing where to start. Easy-to-use online tools provide a way to quickly compare options and to personalize your door to your unique tastes. For example, Simpson’s website features “DOORmagination” tools that include a “Test Drive Your Door” tool that lets you upload a photo of your home and see how various doors will
look on it. Such tools provide a fast way to compare dozens of options. Other design tools include a wood species selector allowing you to see doors in more than 20 wood types, and a “Glass Taste Test” to see how much privacy different glass textures provide. To complete the look of your contemporary door, it is important to consider hardware. On today’s front doors, the hardware is usually understated - simple handle and locksets in satin metal finishes are popular - no lion’s head door knockers. Your local door dealer or hardware store can show you dozens of options. As a final inspiration, remember that simple does not need to mean boring or cold. As Lisa Frederick sums up contemporary styling, “While it doesn’t have the overt warmth of older design styles, it won’t cast a chill either.” Architect John Hill’s take is, “contemporary architecture is of its time, therefore innovative and forward-looking.”

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 decided to start with the bruschetta, and our server returned with a plate of four crispy slices of bread piled high with tomatoes and basil under generous slices of buffalo mozzarella. He placed one on each of our plates before setting the others in the center of the table. 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
Glenbard East’s Alex Ruffer ‘can do it all’ By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – After helping Glenbard East to a record-setting season, Alex Ruffer will be a pioneer for the girls soccer program. Ruffer will become the first Division I player to come out of the program when she plays for Western Michigan in the fall. The midfielder had plenty of accolades for the Rams this spring, scoring 20 goals, dishing out 22 assists, earning an Illinois High School Soccer Coaches Association all-state selection and being named Glenbard East’s Female Athlete of the Year. The all-area MVP finished as the program’s all-time leader in assists and second in goals. “When we’re in control she’s just as happy to have her teammates scoring,” Glenbard East coach Kent Overbey said. “She’s a great leader. She works her butt off. She played every minute of every game when the outcome was in question. She can do it all. She’s down winning headers in our six-yard box, and she’s making the full 90-yard sprint getting in behind [the defense] as well.” Ruffer was a key part of the development of Glenbard East’s program the past four years and helped the team set new records for wins in a season (16), shutouts (14), goals scored (84) and fewest goals allowed (16). Being the program’s first Division I talent is another check mark Ruffer helped knock off the list of program goals. “I’m hoping a lot of people follow my footsteps,” Ruffer said. “I don’t know if it’s just people think they can do it and they need someone to say you can do this. There’s a bunch of girls on the team now that I

think could definitely be up to that level.” The goal of playing in college was something Ruffer worked toward for years. She started playing soccer at a young age, and she said playing year-round helped her. She was able to get noticed by collegiate coaches and put time into finding the right program for her future. “I spent a lot of time last year and sophomore year just trying to find the right team, and I definitely think I did,” Ruffer said. “I’m really excited.” She’s following a training schedule the Broncos sent her for the summer and heads to Kalamazoo at the beginning of August. Her journey to college soccer has been a winding road of local leagues and club teams. She began in park district leagues and later played for Lombard Firebirds with many Glenbard East teammates and most recently played for Synergy Club. Three years ago, Ruffer was a little freshman breaking into the varsity team. The Rams have improved each year since, and now, as just one of three seniors on the roster, Ruffer is hoping the improvement can continue in her absence. “We had veterans teaching me to be better,” Ruffer said. “As we keep moving we keep growing. “I think it’s just a confidence level. We keep getting more wins every year. This year we had the most wins in program Jon Cox – For Shaw Media history. We definitely go into games more confidently. We Glenbard East’s Alex Ruffer heads the ball in a game against Lincoln-Way North this season. The senior was can win every game and I think a prolific scorer who helped lead the Rams to a program record for wins in a season and is the first Division I player in program history. we proved it this year.”

The retiring coach and athletic director tried to give his team a boost after the Broncos’ postseason run ended in a 6-2 loss against Fenwick in a Class 3A sectional final at Glenbard South on Saturday. “Every team other than the last team standing goes home this way, but I was telling the kids after the game quite frankly this is a template about life,” Landi said. “In life you got highs and lows, you work hard sometimes and things don’t go your way and sometimes you don’t work hard and things go your way.” The Broncos took an early lead with two runs in the first inning on RBIs from Jake Mencacci and starting pitcher Eric Frontzak, but didn’t score again. Fenwick tied the game in the top of the third and took the lead in the fourth. The Friars sealed

Montini’s Jake Pestel (left) gets the out at second base in a sectional semifinal game against Riverside Brookfield on June 5. The Broncos won that game but lost in the sectional final against Fenwick. their first ever sectional title by adding three insurance runs in the top of the seventh. Montini finished the season 23-10 and won its first regional title since 2010. “It’s tough on the kids,” Landi said. “They came out here and were ready to play. ... They were in a good frame of mind. They were loose. We just got beat. It’s not like we beat ourselves or we blew anything. They played bet-
ter than we did and they beat us.” The loss to Fenwick marked the end for senior starters Mencacci, Frontzak, Tyler Quick, Tom Long, Rhett Wojkovich, Pat Hennessy, Eddie Bava and Austin Kline. Juniors Jake Pestel and Sean Frontzak, who emerged as a dominant pitcher this spring, and freshman Brandon Shilgalis are expected to be the core of the team next year.

‘Great season’ ends just short of state By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com ROSEMONT – Montini went further than any Bronco softball team before it, but that didn’t make Monday’s walk-off loss against St. Ignatius hurt any less. St. Ignatius’ first lead of the game came when Colleen Hoffman singled with the bases loaded to give the Wolfpack a 5-4 win in a Class 3A supersectional at Rosemont’s Chicago Bandits Stadium. Montini scored three runs in the first inning with a tworun single by Naomi Alonzo doing the biggest damage. However, the Broncos scored just once the rest of the game. St. Ignatius’ Maura Lynch pitched 5 ⅔ innings in relief and kept Montini in check, allowing for the Wolfpack’s comeback. “The second pitcher they brought in kept us off balance,” Montini coach Richie Costante said. “She did a real nice job and we didn’t execute. “We started off great and we just couldn’t capitalize and couldn’t get more. That came back and bit us.” The Wolfpack tied the game in the bottom of the fourth only to see the Broncos score in the next frame on a sac fly by Emily Lezcano. Ignatius answered again in the bottom of the fifth and loaded the bases to set the stage for Hoffman’s game-winning hit. Montini finished the season

27-11 and won the first sectional title in program history. “It’s good being a part of a team that made history, but obviously when you make it this far and you’re just not quite there it’s not as good of a feeling,” senior Sara Ross said. “I’m proud of these girls. They have so much heart. Day in and day out they come out [to play]. I wouldn’t want to be around any greater group.” Ross and shortstop Cristina Barrett were the only seniors on Montini’s roster. Both will play college sports. Ross is headed for IUPUI basketball. Barrett will continue her softball career at Western Illinois. While the youth of the team means the future is bright, Costante was sad to see the two seniors go. “These two seniors poured their heart and soul into our program and they’re the reason why we’re here,” Costante said. “They carried us. I feel bad for them. “This was a great season. By no means are we going to hang our heads. This was a phenomenal year. We got a lot to build on and hopefully we can have another good year next year.”

write it out
his summer, don’t let all those reading, writing and arithmetic skills disappear. Here are the top ive things you can do to keep your brain sharp in the hot summer sun, while still having fun.
T
Keep a writing journal, get a pen pal or sit down to write your irst great novel. Whatever you do, just write. Writing keeps your brain sharp and provides you with a fun, creative outlet. You can even set up a blog — with your parents’ oversight and permission — and get your writing and ideas out to the world.
be a reader
create a garden
This one’s pretty easy: Read for 20 to 30 minutes a day, and by the end of the summer, you will have kept your brain in shape for school to start. Does it matter what you read? Not so much, as long as you are enjoying it. Go for variety, from biography to science iction to books on history.
You might not think of a vegetable garden as teaching you about science, but it does. Planting seeds and watching them grow all summer and, if you’re successful, produce fruit, is a classic way to learn and have fun. Get help and ideas at kidsgardening.org.
Learn a new language
Learn to cook
This one is not that easy. Classes are expensive, and you might not have any friends who speak another language who are willing to teach you. But fret not! There are many free apps and websites that can help you get a start on learning a language, like duolingo.com.
Do cooking and baking involve math equations? You bet, especially if you are making changes to recipes. Cooking helps better your skills in measuring, following instructions, time and safety in the kitchen. It’s like a big science experiment, except you get to eat the results.
