WESTMONT – Jim Romas has a passion for high-quality food. He’ll tell you it’s a trait spanning generations and continents and something he strives to pass on to patrons who visit his new Citrus diner in Westmont. Romas’ flare for food was passed down by his dad. After immigrating from Greece by way of Canada in 1962, his father George opened Romas Restaurant a year later in downtown Chicago. At one point, George and his brothers owned and operated seven restaurants throughout Chicago, and the Romas children – Jim, Pete and Gus – worked their way through kitchen, cashier and wait staff positions. For Jim, some of his fondest childhood memories remain working alongside his father, taking in the ambiance of the bustling Greek diner. “I really liked working with my dad,” Romas said. “I loved the atmosphere – watching people go in and out of the busy kitchen, seeing all the happy customers. I’ll always enjoy serving people, seeing that they get the best quality food and have a great experience.” These days, the restaurateur is making new memories. Now a 50-year-old Western Springs resident, Romas recently opened Citrus Diner, a new breakfast and lunch restaurant at 844 E. Ogden Ave. in Westmont. Citrus opened for business May 9, occupying the storefront which previously was home to the Moondance Diner. Patrons familiar with Moondance might not recognize the interior – pristine white walls

toast and extensive salad and sandwich options. But Romas explains the attention to detail sets Citrus apart from similar brunch menus. “This is a fresh, clean approach to eating,” he said. “We do not serve alcohol, and we use nothing but top-quality products – organic eggs, fresh-squeezed juices, organic coffees and teas and gluten-free options.”

Still, Romas attests the brunch has evolved beyond food. While high-quality ingredients may set a restaurant apart from its competition, the weekend brunch crowd has grown exponentially in the past two decades, according to Romas. As a result, more restaurants have debuted modern, or all-you-can-eat-and-drink takes on the classic menu. The way to stay ahead of the game is to know and hon-
or your history, respect your clientele and love what you do, he said. “We are always improving,” Romas said. “You need to adapt to your customers, so I always make a point to interact with people in the restaurant, talk to them and take their suggestions very seriously. If they say they don’t like something, I’ll try to fix it, that’s what my family has always done.”

SCHOOL DISTRICT 201 | 4 THINGS TO KNOW
Superintendent gives State of the District By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – Community Unit School District 201 held its annual State of District meeting May 19. District 201 Superintendent Kevin Carey gave a presentation to the board and attendees before opening the floor for public comments. Here are four of the central points from Carey’s presentation:
1. Manning, Westmont High make adequate yearly progress
Referencing 2013 ACT, PSAE and ISAT data, as well as the district’s 2013 high school graduation rate, both Manning Elementary and Westmont High School progressed academically, according to Carey. Manning’s overall averaged ISAT percentiles marginally
increased from 77 percent to 78 percent, but the elementary school remains well ahead of the overall state average of 59 percent, Carey said. Westmont High School students showed marked improvement between 2012 and 2013 in the Prairie State Achievement Examination, according to Carey. Average reading scores increased from 54.6 to 61, while math scores jumped from 51.3 to 60. However, the low scores in 2012 could be seen as an anomaly, as scores ranged in the high 50s to mid 60s between 2009 and 2011. Carey added 88 percent of the Westmont High School graduating Class of 2013 attended either a four-year or two-year university. Note: All presented MAP testing data and graduation rates reflect the 2012-13 school year, as the district has yet to

4. Future plans, initiatives for District 201
• A district referendum placed on the March 18 ballot did not pass, receiving only 23 percent of the popular vote. The referendum asked the public whether or not the debt service extension base should be increased during an estimated 20-year period to improve security, safety and a range of other projects at all four district schools. The administration and school board plans to soon discuss potential ways to fund the projects, Carey said.

Ask Dr. Webster
KEEP BREATH FRESH Q: Do you have any tips for keeping breath fresh? A: The best tips are to visit your dentist regularly and keep up a rigorous home care program of brushing and flossing. It’s just natural that bacteria exist in the mouth and they can produce sulfur compounds that don’t smell great. So here are some tips to keep in mind: • Bad habits, like smoking or chewing tobacco, can make your breath sour. • Drink lots of water. When you are well hydrated you will generate copious amounts of saliva, which helps keep your mouth clean by washing away excess bacteria. • Brush your tongue as well as your teeth. The bacteria that causes bad breath can collect on the back of your tongue. • Medical conditions can also contribute to bad breath. Among those conditions are a sinus infection, an abdominal problem like irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes or a kidney ailment. • Be careful, too, about an over-reliance on mouth rinses to address a bad breath problem. While a rinse may temporarily freshen your breath, it may just be masking an underlying problem that your dentist should be treating. • Morning breath, by the way, is a somewhat different issue. Saliva production slows when we are asleep and sour breath in the morning is far more common than a generally persistent bad breath problem. Talk with your dentist about ways to keep your breath fresh.

Thousands flock to Red, White, & Bar-B-Q SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WESTMONT – Around 20,000 people attended the 2014 Red, White, & Bar-B-Q fest from Friday through Sunday at Ty Warner Park. Among the festivities at the eighth annual barbecue fest were cook off competitions where more than 100 professional and amateur grill masters vied for a chance to hoist a coveted Red, White, & Bar-B-Q trophy and be crowned king of the griddle. The three-day cook off awarded more than $14,000 in prize money to amateur and professional grilling gurus. Other festival events included live music, rides and
games, arts and crafts shows, cooking demonstrations and several tributes to U.S. armed forces. Before gates opened Sunday, St. Jude Children’s Hospital and the Westmont Lions Club hosted the Race to the Flag 5k Run/Walk. Uncle Bub’s BBQ & Catering owner Mark Link founded the Red, White, & Bar-B-Q in 2007 with the help of the Westmont Lions Club and the Westmont Jaycees. In the seven years since, the event has matured into the largest sanctioned Kansas City Barbecue Society competition in Illinois. A portion of the event proceeds benefits the Westmont Lions Club.

State Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, and Rep. Dennis Reboletti, R-Elmhurst, are part of a group of House and Senate Republicans who introduced legislation May 20 which would put a statewide advisory referendum on the November ballot asking voters whether or not the 5 percent temporary income tax increase should become permanent. “A number of issues are expected to be placed on the ballot in November as a way to gauge public sentiment,” said Reboletti, whose district includes parts of Addison and Wood Dale, in a news release. “The proposal we are intro-
ducing today would ask the voters to decide whether or not the 5 percent temporary income tax increase should be made permanent. “Extending the income tax increase hits residents and small employers directly in the pocketbook. They deserve the opportunity to weigh in on the decision.” All Republicans in the House and Senate oppose raising the income tax because “it does nothing to help the 550,000 unemployed Illinoisans to find work,” the release stated. Illinois’ unemployment rate of 7.9 percent as of April 2014 is the second-worst jobless rate among the 50 states, according to the release.
By the time the 2011 income tax increase is set to expire in January 2015, it will have taken more than $31 billion from the pockets of working families and small businesses, the release stated. “This nonbinding advisory referendum would allow us to poll the voters about how they feel about making the temporary tax increase permanent,” Sandack said. “The increased taxes have cost the average family of four making around $50,000 about $1,000 annually. They have had to make sacrifices on necessities for their families. Before any vote is taken to extend or make the temporary tax permanent, the voters should have their voices heard.”

In the past, patients suffering from low back pain or disc problems were often given pain medication and instructed to refrain from physical activities. They were then generally referred to physical therapy and sometimes pain management for injections, and when that failed, were faced with the decision to undergo risky spinal surgery. Due to advancements in medicine and technology, those are no longer the only available options.

everything in stride. The transition wasn’t too difficult – the staff, trustees, and community have all been great. Soulier: What is the managerial philosophy you would like to implement at the new library director? Coen: As far as managing staff, I strongly believe in an open-door policy – I think communication is key to being Julia a successful Coen manager. I lead by example, and I don’t set expectations that I don’t hold myself to. We work as a team, I want to build a team first culture. Soulier: How would you describe your leadership style? Coen: I believe in setting a good example and not micro managing. My job is to
motivate, keep staff energized inspire others, and hopefully they learn from me and can translate that into their job. But I learn from them, too; they are experts in their field and they teach me a lot.
Soulier: Have you set any goal for the coming year? Coen: We have pretty ambitious goals in front of us. We are looking at installing self-checkout unit, beginning a main floor redesign, and we want to improve technology – increasing both patron and staff access to technology. I want to improve digital literacy and give patrons the access and knowledge to fully utilize that. Behind the scenes, we are working on organization structure – more training and a lot of teamwork building.

Neighbors helping neighbors in DuPage County communities Great storms blew through recently and I couldn’t help but think about the figurative storms that often blow through people’s lives: health emergencies, job loss, death of a spouse, mental illness, divorce. Some families have all the resources they need to weather the storms of life. Their houses are built on strong COMMUNITY foundations, their financial VOICE future isn’t based on the next Melissa paycheck, they have a comprehensive health insurance Travis policy that covers everything from a bout with the flu to a full-blown mental health crisis. But other families don’t have these resources to help see them through a crisis – this is where organizations like People’s Resource Center can help fill the gap. Built on a model of neighbors helping neighbors, People’s Resource Center has offered a variety of programs to stabilize DuPage County families that are caught in the storms of life. A visit to our food pantries can ease the strain of a too-tight budget. The center’s clothes closet can help a mother make sure her children have coats and hats to face the cold. A computer class may give an unemployed worker an edge in finding employment and an art class may offer a much-needed respite in a chaotic day. Neighbors truly are helping neighbors at the People’s Resource Center. Last year, 1,900 volunteers provided the bulk of service delivery; thousands of donations from people all over DuPage support the myriad programs we offer; and congregations, service organizations, community groups and other social service organizations are partnering with People’s Resource Center to assist our neighbors in need. Because of this strong network, DuPage County and its nearly one million residents can face the storms of life knowing that our neighbors will help us when we are tested. We are a community of caring, ready to roll up our sleeves and help our neighbors in need. Helping one another is not only the right thing to do, but it is what our community and our neighbors do each day. I’m proud to call DuPage County home – I hope you are too.

Westmont High School student Heather Blaney meets with Homeland Security Investigations Victim Assistance Specialist Annabelle Marquez before a human trafficking conference.
Congratulations to Westmont High School sophomore Heather Blaney, who spent almost an entire school year researching human trafficking and speaking with representatives from anti human trafficking organizations as well as local officials and FBI special agents. For the final piece of the school’s Changemakers course, Blaney organized a conference on human trafficking featuring a panel of experts who spoke on the topic and answered attendees’ questions. Thumbs up to the village of Westmont for again coordinating and hosting the U.S. Olympic Luge Team Slider Search. Members of the national luge team visited Westmont on May 17 and 18, educating young participants on the finer points of luge technique, then allowing more than 100 athletes to slide down the course set up on Cass Avenue. The Slider Search is becoming a tradition in Westmont, and we were elated to see participants from neighboring communities and the surrounding states.

I have to sound off about Judge Ann Finley Collins from Maybrook Courthouse. Judge Collins gave an electronic monitor and an I-bond to a twin ice pick-wielding lunatic. This man was trying to break in to a Riverside home to kill the resident. When Riverside police arrived, he threatened to kill them, too. Our outstanding police chased, tasered and arrested the psychopath and put our neighborhood at peace just to find out Judge Collins felt he was better off back out there so he could finish what he was going to do. Maybe judge Collins should be at home making a cake or cleaning the toilet. Or, if she’s into power and uniforms, consider being a crossing guard – nice hat, a vest and that cool paddle. Society would be safer with her off the bench and sitting on one reading a book. This was a slap in the face to Riverside’s outstanding police department and residents. Maybe Judge Collins should get an electronic monitor, community service and five years probation and, of course, lose her job. This is one woman who clearly shouldn’t be in any position of power.

People volunteer to get arrested May 21 in Oak Brook while participating in the McDonald’s protest.
SD • Wednesday, May 28, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life
OAK BROOK – The beating of drums and chants of “Raise up, it’s time to raise up” and “I’m fed up, I can’t take it no more” echoed May 21 past Hamburger University in Oak Brook as hundreds of protesters assembled and called for a significant pay raise. Fed up with low salaries for quick-service restaurant employees, protesters were urging for a pay increase to $15 an hour, up from an average salary of about $8 an hour. “Give people a fair living wage, it doesn’t need to be more sophisticated than that,” said Service Employees International Union Local 73 Assistant Division Director Tim Ball. “McDonald’s makes billions upon billions of dollars … they can afford to have a loyal staff.” Unions member Deana Rutherford of Chicago added “no one who works should have to work in poverty.”
She said McDonald’s “criminally low wages” cost taxpayers, who in turn fund those employees’ public assistance compensation. Shortly after 1 p.m. May 21, several protesters associated with Service Employees International Union were arrested for criminal trespassing to property after entering the McDonald’s Campus at Jorie Boulevard and Kroc Drive, according to the Oak Brook Police Department. Police said about 1:45 p.m. May 21, protesters began marching further onto McDonald’s property, resulting in 138 people being arrested and charged with an ordinance violation of criminal trespass. Throughout the afternoon, the Oak Brook Police Department was on the scene along with mutual aid from surrounding departments as several roads were closed off to accommodate protesters. Protests also continued

• PROTESTERS
Continued from page 13 Thursday morning during the McDonald’s annual shareholders’ meeting. Union members boarded 17 buses early Thursday morning as fellow members marched south on Jorie Boulevard from Kensington Road, stopping at Kroc Drive. About 7:45 a.m. Thursday, demonstrators moved north on Jorie Boulevard toward Ronald Lane, assembled for a short time, then dispersed at 8:30 a.m., according to police No arrests were made Thursday, according to police. McDonald’s shareholders’ meeting was closed to the media Thursday but was available to the public via webcast. During the meet-
ing, president and CEO Don Thompson said McDonald’s is often a first job for several entering the workforce. He said in company owned U.S. restaurants, which is a “microcosm of the overall McDonald’s landscape,” 33 percent of employees are ages 16 through 19, nearly 60 percent are 24 years of age or younger and 70 percent work part-time. Thompson said he believes McDonald’s provides “more opportunity than any place” he’s seen, as some crew members have eventually gone on to become supervisors and even owners of their own franchises. “We’ve had people that have been [protesting] outside, and we respect the fact that they want to challenge wages,” Thompson said during the annual meeting. “We continue to believe
that we pay fair and competitive wages, and we provide opportunity and we provide job opportunities and training for those entering the work force.” Ball disagreed, adding it’s not the conditions of the restaurant, it’s because there is no stability with employee work shifts. “You can’t live a life,” Ball said. “You have to live a life by the whim of the manager or the owner.” Similar protests and rallies have taken place over the past couple years with varying results. On May 15, McDonald’s released a statement respecting it’s employees’ right to protest: “We respect everyone’s right to voice an opinion. McDonald’s respects our employees’ right to voice their opinions and to protest lawfully and peacefully.”

Schutz is not the only one from the area who will compete this June in New Jersey. Downers Grove 32-year-old Jeff Osowski placed first in his golf flight at both state and regional Special Olympics, but this will mark his first time at the national competition. “It’s been spectacular,” Ray, his father, said. “He’s participated in Special Olympics competitions in various different sports – volleyball, basketball, golf and bowling. The Special Olympics is spectacular because it gives Jeff the opportunity to experience the highs and lows of competition.” Despite the long brutal winter, his swing still should be in line – he and his father Ray went to the Golf Dome at least once a week to hit some balls, when Jeff wasn’t working one of his two jobs or rooting for the White Sox. Now in the spring, he can play as often as he can. “I keep practicing like every day,” he said. ticipants on health, education and safety issues, including bicycle and fire safety, college savings and after-school programs, special needs information and much more.

DOWNERS GROVE – When Christina Schutz was asked if she’s excited for her week at the 2014 Special Olympics National Games, she responded without pause saying how many days away it is. “I keep looking at the website,” the 27-year-old Downers Grove South alumna said. “I love everything – the friends, competition – everything about the Special Olympics.” Schutz of Darien is 5-foot9 and utilizes here height to serve on her local volleyball team. She’ll take those skills to New Jersey to meet and compete with 2,500 athletes in a variety of sports beginning June 15 at the USA Games. When she’s not playing volleyball, you can find Schutz working at Jewel or going out to the movies with friends, she said. But serving a strike right over the net, that’s her favorite. She also is excited for the sightseeing in New York which will be part of her trip, all paid for by the Special Olympics. Her parents also plan to make the trip. “It’s been a thrill to know she’s having this opportunity, and having the freedom to be on her own for the week – with some adult supervision,” her mom Carol said. “It’s a great opportunity, I’m very excited.”

TAXES ARE NOT ON VACATION THIS SUMMER!
Some of the questions we get are:
• What happens with taxes when I retire? • Do I need to pay Estimated Tax?
• Should I/we change our withholding?
• What happens when I sell stock, a mutual fund, land - or a rental property?
• Why did I get a letter/notice from the IRS or the State of IL?
• Do I need to take a required distribution from my IRA this year?
• I am the Executor of an Estate or the Trustee of a Trust - what needs to be done now?
If you know what to do now and the tax implications for 2014 - instead of waiting until tax time - you can plan for cash flow, reduce worry and avoid future penalties and/or letters from the IRS.

DOWNERS GROVE – On Owen Chaidez’ first day of school, playground woodchips became stuck in his wheelchair, and he was unable to move. His friends tried without success to free the wheels, but when the bell rang, he was left by himself. “I wanted to find a way [so] that would never happen again,” his mom, Margaret Chaidez said. In the year and a half since, Chaidez has organized a drive to raise funds to build an inclusive, accessible playground at Hillcrest Elementary School to be enjoyed equally by students with physical limitation and by those without. It would feature a recycled rubber surface instead of woodchips along with double-wide ramps and connected structures. The plans also include a relaxation station for quiet reflection or reading and a wheelchair swing. Some of the design ideas

Her son is especially excited about the wheelchair swing. “My son has always wanted to fly, and now he will have

that opportunity in his wheelchair,” she said. Lisa Schuh has children in both special- and general-education classes at Hillcrest, and she said the focus groups allowed for a design to suit the entire student population. “I think all the kids are generally excited about it because it will benefit all of
them as a whole,” she said. “Most of the kids in the focus group were in the general-education classes. And a lot of them were older kids, so they had a really good insight for what would bring all the kids together.” She said the softer, rubber surface will be a benefit for her daughter Teagan, who has Down syndrome. “Anything that is going to keep her on pace with her peers is going to be a benefit for her socially and physically,” she said. Another Hillcrest parent, Pam Baker, said the playground could make a world of difference for her daughter Camee, who has cerebral palsy.

upon to assist. Chaidez hopes to have the crowdfunding website launched soon and begin accepting tax-deductible donations to build the new $450,000 playground. She filed the paperwork to become a 501c3 nonprofit organization named Dream Build Play this spring. She said there are no comparable playgrounds within a 20 mile radius, the closest being in Burr Ridge. However, the Burr Ridge playground does not have the wheelchair
swing and other features included in the Hillcrest plan. She said the Hillcrest playground will be a safe place for children with physical limitations from all over the area to play. Following the completion of the project, she hopes to use her new nonprofit to design and build accessible playgrounds at all District 58 schools. Now, her most pressing goal is to finish the project before Owen and his friends finish at Hillcrest and move on to junior
high. Until then, Owen and children with physical limitations often feel left out during recess. “He can only stay on the blacktop,” she said. “And his friends don’t want to stay on the blacktop, so he’s a little bit isolated. He doesn’t get to do a lot.” Controller James Popernik said the plan is to have the proposal on the June board agenda for approval. It would completely replace the existing Hillcrest playground, and add a smaller satellite playground for kindergartners.

“I know that Camee has difficulty doing things the other kids do, but cognitively, she’s 100 percent,” she said. “So she recognizes the differences of what’s going on. The excitement on her face when I showed her the plans of what could be blew my mind. I didn’t realize it was an issue, and the thought of a new playground opened up a whole new
world for her.” Hillcrest is home to the district’s developmental learning program, so it has a higher number of special needs students than other schools in Downers Grove. That makes it an especially appropriate place for the village’s first inclusive playground, Schuh added. A factory-certified installation crew will be hired to ensure the playground, designed by Cunningham Recreation, is compliant and safe. Community volunteers may be called

Q-BBQ fires up big flavor in La Grange
LA GRANGE – As we approached the black awnings of the corner restaurant, it was no surprise our mouths began watering when Q-BBQ’s old-fashioned smokehouse aroma wafted our way. We stepped inside and were greeted by a hostess at a wooden counter with three overhanging chalkboards outlining the restaurant’s specials, platters, sandwiches, salads and sides, extending from brisket and pork to smoked turkey, chicken, ribs and more. My companion and I initially were puzzled by some of the options, as neither of us had ever experienced Q before. When the hostess saw our hesitation, she immediately asked if this was our first visit, offered us free samples of the Brisket Burnt Ends, and then pointed out a few of her personal favorite dishes. After the sample, my mind was made up, and I selected the Brisket Burnt Ends sandwich served Q-Style, which calls for topping it with Q-Slaw, mozzarella cheese and sweet and spicy aioli. The sandwiches, along with two hush puppies, include your choice of a side. For me, it was an order of Spicy Fries. My fellow diner ordered the Texas Chopped Brisket sandwich, prepared Q-Style with Q-Slaw, crumbled bleu cheese and Carolina sauce. Once we’d ordered, we found our table and enjoyed the anticipation. In about 10 minutes, the massive culinary concoctions arrived. Before shamelessly stuffing our faces – an act which my companion rationalized as “if it’s not messy, it’s not barbecue” – we each grabbed handfuls of napkins and then dug in. The Q-Slaw and sweetand-spicy sauce on top of the Brisket Burnt Ends gave my sandwich a perfect mix of the barbecue flavor and Southern taste I’d been looking for. My Spicy Fries were served

dining district, offers patrons a tantalizing culinary geography lesson of all things barbecue. Michael LaPidus, the owner, notes on the website that the eatery is fueled by “regional inspirations – from the backwoods of the Carolinas, to the meat markets of Texas, to the hole-in-the-walls of Memphis. In everything from our smoked meats (cooked low and slow for up to 22 hours), to our homemade sauces and from scratch sides, we give our own brand of culinary flare and distinct flavor to America’s original comfort food.” Overall, Q-BBQ was more than just delicious food. From its enthusiastic, helpful staff to its relaxed yet welcoming atmosphere, those black awnings are not something you’ll want to pass by. And although from the outside, we didn’t anticipate a casual, order-atthe-counter type restaurant, both my companion and I left Q-BBQ happily satisfied and already planning to return.

Bringing home two state medals was certainly an upgrade over her freshman state meet experience, where she qualified in four events (both hurdles races, the triple jump and with the 4x400 relay) but didn’t make the finals in any of them. “I wanted to come back and prove that I could do better,” she said. “I focused on it all year and worked hard for it.” The hard work is just beginning for Carlson. She said her summer will consist of 8 a.m. runs and weight lifting sessions in an effort to do even better at next year’s state finals. “I’m not stopping here, I want to keep going,” she said. “I’m not taking any time off.” Senior Maggie Arndt was a state qualifier in the 1,600 and clocked a time of 5:38.69 Thursday in her preliminary race.

CHARLESTON – Welcome to the elite, Annie Carlson. At the Class 1A state track and field finals Saturday at Eastern Illinois, the Westmont sophomore clocked a time of 44.57 seconds to finish third in the 300-meter hurdles and, in the process, earn elite status from dyestat.com, a website which tracks high school track and field marks across the country Carlson also finished fourth in the triple jump to earn a second state medal. “It was a good day,” Carlson said. “I got a personal record and the school record [in the hurdles], and I was aiming for top-3 and I got that.” In a tight finals race for the hurdles, Carlson was part of a pack of four who edged ahead of the field. She crossed the line just ahead of Chester’s Sarah Bindel (44.62 seconds). “I think my length of legs got her,” Carlson said. “She did have a great race, but I just had the advantage.” Her showing in the triple jump was nearly as impressive as her finish in the hurdles. After jumping 33 feet, 9 inches at the Lisle sectional to earn her state berth, she was seeded 10th heading to the finals after posting a mark of 34-10 ¾ in the preliminary flights. She left those marks in the dust as she jumped a personal record of 36-4 ¾ in the finals. “As soon as I landed in the pit, I got up and looked back and it looked like a good distance,” Carlson said. “Then I

DG North, South earn multiple medals
Downers Grove North’s Gianna Marconi (right) plays the ball in an April 24 game against Lemont. With a successful season, Marconi and her fellow senior teammates set a new standard for North.
By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com CHARLESTON – Even though she only is in high school, Michaela Hackbarth already has learned lessons which will serve her well throughout her life, one being putting in hard work yields positive results in the end. The Downers Grove South sophomore’s hard work led to a second-place finish in the 800-meter run at the Class 3A state track meet Saturday at Eastern Illinois. “It’s just been a lot of hard work every practice and every workout,” said Hackbarth, who clocked a time of 2:13.0. “Every workout, just doing the work that coach gives me.” Hackbarth was part of the 4x200 and 4x800 relays that made it to state this past year, earning a state medal with the 4x200 that placed eighth. Her showing at state this year was a step in the right direction, and with two more years of track ahead of her, she is hoping for even more success in the future. “I’m really happy with my day,” said Hackbarth, who also made it to state in the 400. “I’ll keep working hard, and next year hopefully I can do even better.” South’s Abby Kargol also enjoyed her state meet. She finished fifth in the 3,200 with a time of 10:50.04 but ran one of the best races of her life. “I set my personal record by a lot, and I set a new school record,” the senior said. At the start of the race Kargol was surrounded by runners in the middle of the pack but never lost sight of the Glenbard West duo of Madeline Perez and Linsday Graham, who set the pace in the race and finished 1-2. “I figured they’d take me to a good time, so I set my sights on them,” Kargol said. “This feels incredible. I’ve been training all year for this.” Downers Grove North kept a tradition alive and well as the 4x800 relay team of Emma Moravec, Margaret Schaub, Zayna Jan and Stephanie Urbancik finished fourth with a time of 9:14.16. It was the fifth year in a row North’s 4x800 earned a state medal. Urbancik was part of the past four 4x800 squads, including

Jan was part of the quartet placing sixth this past spring. “It’s been really awesome to be a part of it,” said Urbancik, who will continue her career at the College of William and Mary. “We have a lot of depth as a team at 800 meters. Our alternates could

South’s Haley Albers just missed out on a state medal as she finished 10th in the 3,200 with time of 11:07.30. Amanda Thate was 10th in the 1,600 with a time of 5:03.31. Other South athletes who participated at state were Kiera James, Nicole Muccianti, Rachel Petro and Shaliyah Dixon-Tucker, North also sent the 4x400 team of Moravec, Jan, Rachel Shuetz and Hannah Henry to state.
DOWNERS GROVE – Gianna Marconi and Mary Doro have certainly left their mark at Downers Grove North. The soccer co-captains and their six senior teammates have set a new standard for future teams to aim for. After finishing the 2013 season with a .500 record, this year’s senior-led squad nearly doubled the win total. The seniors played a big role in setting the tone this season. “We’re a senior team,” Marconi said. “We have eight seniors, which is kind of unusual for North, so we have a lot of experience. … We have a lot of returning varsity people and people like Sarah Costello and Mary Rounce who didn’t play with us last year but are adding a lot this year.” Marconi, Doro and Brianna Smith are four-year varsity players for the Trojans. Costello and Rounce were on varsity their freshman year and returned to the squad after choosing not to play for North this past spring. Not only did the Trojans enjoy a banner season, but they did so against a much tougher schedule. They added nonconference games against Wheaton North and Glenbard East in addition to playing in the PepsiCo Showdown tournament, one of the top tournaments in the state. North tied against Wheaton North and Glenbard East and faced off against New Trier, a potential state title-winning team, as part of the Showdown. They also won the West Chicago tournament. “It wasn’t like we improved because we changed the schedule,” head coach Bob Calder said. “The schedule change was we picked up Glenbard

East, the No. 4 seed in our sectional, Wheaton North, who is always very good, and we picked up four teams in the PepsiCo Showdown. “We added competitive teams and played a lot of competitive games.” Those games came in addition to playing a grueling schedule in the West Suburban Silver conference. The Trojans took WSS winner Lyons Township to overtime and penalty kicks before losing and lost 1-0 against a talented Hinsdale Central team. “This year, especially compared to last year, a big difference is we can score the ball,” Calder said. “You can’t win if you don’t score, and we really don’t give up a lot. We are very sound defensively.” North’s season came to a close with a 2-0 loss Friday against Benet in a regional championship game, but it did little to tarnish the shine of the season or the legacy of the senior group. “I’m immensely proud of this team,” Doro said. “This has by far been my favorite season. I’m proud of what we accomplished. “These past couple years we’ve built the team. We have incoming freshmen that are really good, and our freshmen team won conference so they’re really good. So hopefully [the team] just continues to improve.”

JOE BECHT
Baseball teams in the area are heading to the Class 3A and 4A postseason with the ultimate goal of making it to the state finals June 13 and 14 at Joliet’s Silver Cross Field. Here’s the outlook for Benet, Downers Grove North and Downers Grove South:
Downers Grove South | Senior | Baseball Why Becht was selected: Becht recently entered elite company as he became the fifth player in DGS history to play in more than 100 varsity games. Joe Becht was inserted into Downers Grove South’s varsity baseball lineup as a sophomore in 2012. Two years later, after missing just one game, he played in his 100th varsity game to reach the level ahead of teammate Zac Taylor. In Thursday’s 7-6 win against Hinsdale Central, Becht, the Sears Appliance and Hardware Athlete of the Week, played in his 104th game and talked with Suburban Life sports editor Jason Rossi about his achievement and future at Santa Clara.
What’s the feeling like having played in more than 100 games? It’s actually pretty surreal. It was on my senior day, too, and I was just looking at the field – three years, a hundred games, a lot of memories. It’s pretty surreal that it’s starting to come to an end, but it’s an honor to say I’ve done that.
Regional: Fenwick Sectional: Glenbard South Sectional seed: No. 4 First game: 4:30 p.m. today vs. No. 13 Noble Street Pritzker/No. 20 Little Village Outlook: If nothing else, the
Was it even sweeter to play that 100th game at home on senior day?
It did mean a lot. Coming down and hugging my mom, hugging coach Orel and coach Parpet – they’ve been big influences on me and they gave the opportunities to play, so it meant a lot.
How did the offer from Santa Clara come about?
I went out there for a showcase. They were there and contacted me after. The coach that was there actually went to Northwestern, so he knew my travel coach. So we talked, I went out there and found a spot. It felt right.
Does it feel like you’ve played in so many games?
It doesn’t. Every season, it just feels natural being out here. It’s weird that it’s coming to a close.

Benet Redwings
Redwings certainly have the momentum heading into the playoffs as they won their final eight games of the regular season, including a 17-7 throttling May 21 of Nazareth and a 1-0 win Saturday against a tough Marmion team. A solid pitching staff can carry a team in the postseason, and Benet has a strong starting rotation. Matt Emerick, Pat Peterson, Mike Powers and Chris Whelan all have pitched more than 33 innings this season. Emerick (1.74) and Peterson (1.82) both have sparkling ERAs. Offensively, the Redwings are averaging 6.8 runs a game and are led by the production of Whelan (.446 average, 22 RBIs, 28 runs), Joe Boyle (.398, 28 RBIs, 27 runs), Anthony Rendina (.411, 18 RBIs, 26 runs), Jason Blohm (.358, 17 RBIs, 18 runs), Johnathan

Kruppe (.325, 28 RBIs) and Connor Hickey (.362, 20 runs). If the Redwings win today, No. 7 Fenwick or No. 12 Farragut would await in the regional championship game at 1 p.m. Saturday.
Downers Grove North Trojans
Regional: Downers Grove South Sectional: Oswego Sectional seed: No. 6 First game: 4:30 p.m. Thursday vs. No. 10 Marmion
Outlook: Coming down the stretch of the regular season, the Trojans won only once in their final six West Suburban Silver conference games, but they did find success with wins against Leyden, Willowbrook and Hinsdale South during the final two weeks of the season. The key to playoff success
Downers Grove South Mustangs
Regional: Downers Grove South Sectional: Oswego East Sectional seed: No. 3 First game: 4:30 p.m. today vs. No. 14 Hinsdale South/No. 18 Romeoville
Outlook: In addition to home field advantage, the Mustangs’ recent hot stretch at the plate could come in handy during the playoffs. “I’m excited about that because in the past that’s kind of been our Achilles’ heel a little bit,” South head coach Darren Orel said. “I feel really good about the fact that we’re going into the playoffs swinging the bats pretty well.” The starting pitching of Danny Spinuzza (1.76 ERA), Chris Pedrak (1.26 ERA) and Zac Taylor (2.20 ERA) complements a lineup led by Spinuzza, Taylor, Joe Becht, Ryan Taylor, Joey Engel and Danny Oriente. With a win in the regional semifinal, the Mustangs could face Downers Grove North in the regional title game at 10 a.m. Saturday.
