By KELLI MURRAY kmurray@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – When the phrase, “This place is going to the dogs,” is used in conjunction with a Downers Grove-based dog therapy program, tails are typically wagging and smiles come to the faces of individuals in health care facilities, schools and senior assisted facilities.

After Becky Jankowski retired from Hines Veterans Assistance Hospital in 1998, she took over its animal-assisted therapy program and renamed it PAWSitive Therapy Troupe.

A certified professional dog trainer and a registered nurse, Jankowski trains handlers and dogs to become therapy dogs to interact with patients and students in a variety of settings.

“Our program has 48 human volunteers and 65 dogs,” Jankowski said, adding many handlers have more than one dog involved in the program.

PAWSitive Therapy Troupe is a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization. Jankowski and her team, typically three to four dogs and their handlers per event, visit schools, libraries, hospitals, senior and children residential facilities, adult daycare and houses for families such as Ronald McDonald House and Fisher House.

Recipients of dog therapy are more motivated when a dog is involved, and the results

“You can bring a smile to a kid’s face who had a heart transplant or has cancer,” Jankowski said. “The parents are so appreciative we can make their child smile.”

Jankowski also said on trips to Hines VA, they work in the psychiatric unit with patients that suffer from PTSD

and depression.

“A patient will be sitting in a day room not interacting with anyone and within five minutes of our arrival, people are interacting and talking,” she said.

The dogs are celebrities of a sort, with baseball-like cards with a photo of the dog and stats that include breed information, favorite toy and certifications that are distributed by the handlers.

One of the locations the troupe visits is Spectrum, a division of Little Friends in Downers Grove.

“Our clients love it when the handlers pass out cards of the dogs,” said Kathy Bytner, activity coordinator of Spectrum. “A couple of clients could wallpaper a room with the cards. Clients just get so excited when they come.”

In addition to required vaccinations, the dogs are all bathed and groomed within 24 hours of a visit. Before a therapy dog receives its therapy dog work vest, however, there is much work to be done for both dog and handler.

To receive therapy certification, Jankowski first must take on the handlers so they can learn how to communicate and learn the handling skills necessary for a therapy dog. The therapy dog skills class is next, an intensive four-week positive reinforcement training session.

“We work on specific skills for therapy work like going up on a bed, or paws up on a chair,” Jankowski said.

Jankowski said the dog should have solid basic obedience training such as being able to perform the commands sit, down and come, prior to the therapy dog skills training. The training encompasses situations that the dogs and handlers may encounter during an outing.

“Kids will try to stick fingers in the dogs’ eye, or an older person will try to pick a dog up and that can be tough,” she said. “A dog can be submissive but they have to be fine by being touched everywhere.”

Testing includes how the dogs react when all four of their paws are touched, tail is pulled, mouth is opened, ears tugged, experiencing a wholebody hug and being picked up.

Jankowski said the breed or the size of the animal isn’t

Silver Stars, two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart Medal.

Congressional records from when these awards were given told stories of Matayoshi rushing into enemy fire in order to take out machine gun nests.

After the war, Matayoshi moved to Chicago and became an auto mechanic and gas station attendant.

Ed Matayoshi said his father was like a drill sergeant to him and his siblings, expecting a balance of physical and mental fitness.

He was also an intimidating presence as a body builder who was active in judo and wrestling.

However, Matayoshi did not speak much about his experiences in the war.

His children did not hear many of the stories about him until he received his honors during ceremonies in 1996 and 2011.

“The stories were interesting and nice,” Ed Matayoshi said.

Ask Dr. Webster

ORAL MUCOSA Q: What is oral mucosa?

A: The soft flesh that lines the inside of a healthy mouth is called oral mucosa. There are actually three types of oral mucosa. Lining mucosa covers the inside of the cheeks, the lips, the soft palate, and the area under the tongue.

Specialized, or gustatory, mucosa covers the top of the tongue. Your taste buds are a form of oral mucosa. A third, hardier type, that can stand up to the rigors of chewing, covers the gum and the hard palate.

Oral mucosa has two layers of tissue. The top layer is called the epithelium. Like other layers of the body’s outer skin, the epithelium is designed to be in contact with the environment. Under the epithelium is a dense layer of connective tissue that holds nerves and blood vessels. A special part of the oral mucosa is called the gingiva. Gingival tissue is what makes up the gums. It is bound firmly to the base of the teeth. Along with the underlying jaw bone, gingival tissue is what supports the teeth. The tight fit of the gums against the teeth helps prevent the infiltration of bacteria.

Depending on a person’s skin color, the oral mucosa can range from dark pink to brown.

Extremely pale mucosa can be a sign of anemia, while dark or patchy mucosa may indicate some other medical condition. Talk with your dentist about ways to keep your oral mucosa and the rest of your mouth healthy.

Coping with cancer during the holidays SPONSORED BY

By Diane Kieger Spivak The holidays are typically a happy time of good will, get-togethers and gift-giving.

But when you or a loved one has cancer, holidays can be confusing, depressing and exhausting.

If you’ve been diagnosed, one way to cope is to socialize, according to cancercare. org, but accept only those invitations you can handle physically and truly want to take part in. It’s okay to say no, but keeping comfortably active will lift your spirits.

Don’t think you have to do everything you’ve always done to prepare for and celebrate the holidays. If you normally shop till you drop but don’t have the energy this year, don’t try, advises the American Cancer Society.

You can shop from the comfort of your home by mail, by phone, or if you have access to the Internet, online.

If you’ve always been the hostess with the mostest, take it easy. Delegate the

prep to someone else or cut down on your event planning.

If you just can’t relinquish your hosting duties, have a potluck meal so others can bring dishes. You can always eat out.

Share your feelings and your worries with loved ones.

They can be reassuring and it helps to get your concerns off your chest.

If you have a friend or loved one who is dealing with cancer offer to help with shopping, decorating, cooking or just to lend an ear. They will appreciate your kindness and may take you up on your offer. Some people don’t like to ask for help but are grateful for it.

Losing a loved one to cancer is especially painful when that person is conspicuously absent during holiday gatherings. Allow yourself to grieve, says the American Cancer Society, but talk to others, whether friends, loved ones or counselors. Also, try to balance your grief with traditional holiday activities.

Is it just me or have you also wondered how in the world Christmas became so materialistic?

I realize this is not an original thought and much less impactful coming from a chamber of commerce president (please feel free to spend, spend, spend).

Recently, however, while I was rushing around contribCOMMUNITY uting to the local economy, VOICE I came across a man with a Laura dog, sitting in an indiscreet area of the shopping center’s Crawford parkway. From my car, I watched him for a while; his mangy dog laid across his lap and every so often snuggling his ear. I thought, “What’s wrong with this picture?” I digested the vision and went on with my shopping.

Now I’ve been accused of being a bit cold at times, I’m not a tree-hugger, don’t mind warm winters and likely have a lot of unpopular opinions, but where the rubber hits the road, I love nonprofit organizations and all they provide our communities.

Chamber630 is so proud to have more than 80 nonprofits as members. The change nonprofits create and the goodness they bring to our communities is one of the reasons I chose DuPage County in which to live. In many ways, nonprofits direct much of our culture; aside from those they help, they enhance the sense of community through opportunities to volunteer, donate and serve.

To participate in the change nonprofits create requires a special mindset, a little exploration and a donation of time (money is usually very much appreciated as well but not necessary).

Because it can happen so easily, I personally am passionate about ending chronic homelessness in DuPage County and I have the honor of serving on the DuPagePads board of directors.

What’s your passion? What change will you create? If you are already a donor or volunteer for one or more of the many great organizations in the region, thank you! If not, I invite you to check out the list of nonprofits on Chamber630.com, start your exploration and initiate the change you want to create.

The guy with the dog? Yeah, as I left the store I walked over to the parkway, dropped off a rawhide for the dog and asked if he ever heard of DuPagePads. He said, “Sure I have. They helped me get my job. Now I live in those apartments right over there.” Made me smile.

Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, a blessed Kwanzaa, beautiful holidays and thank you.

Remembering Judy Baar Topinka

WRR Suburban Life • mysuburbanlife.com • Wednesday, December 17, 2014 • WSD

Just want to pay my respect to the people and the state of Illinois on the terrible loss of Judy Baar Topinka. She was one in a million. She’ll never be replaced. She was a great lady.

My respects go to her family – Joe, her son, and the others. God bless them all.

Reflecting on Topinka

I’ll miss not encountering Judy Baar Topinka at estate sales on Saturday mornings.

It was always nice to see her little van with the “Topinka” license plate and know she’d be there with a cheerful smile.

Judy Baar Topinka was one of a kind and one of the best things that ever happened to Illinois “politics.” Miss ya Judy Baar.

RIP.

Holiday safety tip

This holiday season, if Santa brings you any electronics, take a few minutes to cut up the cartons and place it in the proper containers, not next to it, so you don’t advertise what you have in your house.

as important as the temperament of the dog.

“The smallest dog we have is a Maltese that is about 4 to 5 pounds and the largest is a Bernese Mountain Dog that is about 100 pounds,” she said.

The dog troupe has been visiting the Woodridge Library children’s department for years during its popular five-week Read to the Dogs summer program, according to Sheri Daun-Bedford, head

of the children’s department.

“It’s been a wonderful experience,” Daun-Bedford said. “It’s not a tutoring program, they are there to listen.

The whole point of the program is that it is nontraumatic to the children.”

Daun-Bedford said the program typically attracts beginning readers, children up to third grade, but middle schoolage children are welcome.

“Kids will pick out dog books to read and show the pictures to the dogs,” she said. “We love having the dogs here.”

Our final plate was the chicken-fried chicken. It was, by far, the largest item we ordered, and could be considered a full-sized meal. A chicken breast – flattened, breaded and fried – lay atop mashed potatoes and was topped with a fried egg and white country gravy. My companion devoured nearly the entire

plate without speaking, only smiling between bites.

While we were a little fry heavy in our order, there were plenty of selections to satisfy any appetite, including the pan-seared scallops, Gulf shrimp brochette, grilled romaine salad, shrimp and grits, and a grilled portobello, zucchini and squash salad.

The website notes the kitchen uses grass-fed beef and wildcaught seafood.

My companion was a little worried that small plates would mean certain hunger after the meal was finished, but that was not the case.

Another visit to Union House American Kitchen is certainly on the horizon.

Union House American Kitchen

WSD • Wednesday, December 17, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

WINFIELD – It was a sunny and chilly December day when my companion and I decided to head to Union House American Kitchen in Winfield for lunch.

The space was inviting as soon as we stepped inside, where the high, white-painted wood ceilings and decor felt reminiscent of historic Americana. The lighting fixtures over the tables were styled after old-fashioned bulbs, and behind a long, wooden bar that could easily seat 15, was a chalkboard with a plethora of craft beers and drink specials.

The restaurant is a smallplate gastropub that our waiter explained focuses on locally harvested and seasonal ingredients.

Since we were first-timers at the restaurant and newbies to the small-plate scene, our waiter suggested we order several selections to share.

Menu items range from salads to seafood and steak, so after much discussion, my companion and I selected four plates to split between us.

I couldn’t resist ordering the fried pickles as an appetizer. Silver-dollar-sized slices of dill pickle were coated in American Patriot beer batter and then fried. A creamy avocado and buttermilk sauce accompanied the half-dozen slices for dipping. Not greasy, they were absolutely delicious, with the sauce offering a cool complement.

Crab hush puppies called out to my seafood-aficionado companion. They were made with dried corn and crabmeat shaped into ping-pong-ballsized portions and fried. The four hush puppies resting on a sweet and spicy honey pepper sauce were very tasty, and the crabmeat was fully present, not hidden behind the corn.

A bourbon pork skewer was next. The tender pork was glazed in garlic and brown sugar and had a side of sriracha cream for dipping.

Again, the pairing of the sauce with the entree proved to be perfect.

Entertaining done easy with 4 simple tips

* Make lists - If you’re a mobile device user, get a list started for everything you need. Any time you think of something, be sure to add it to the list immediately, or send yourself a reminder email so you can add it at a later time. These lists will help you keep everything organized and remind you of what you have left to achieve so you aren’t scrambling to make an appetizer or clean the bathroom at the last minute. * Take short cuts - Of course you want to show off your cooking skills, but that doesn’t mean you need to slave for hours in the kitchen preparing foods. Intricately decorated sugar cookies are as beautiful as they are delicious, but sometimes simple shortcuts - like making bars rather than cookies - can make an event much less stressful. Here’s a quick recipe from Simply Organic.

* Keep it simple - Often the simplest food options are the healthiest - something your guests might appreciate during this season of indulgence. For example, a fresh fruit or veggie tray is extremely simple to put together, because you won’t have to spend time in front of the stove or mix ingredients to bake in the oven. Continue to keep it simple, but add trendy touch by trading out the ranch dressing for a Greek yogurt dip or homemade hummus made with Simply Organic seasoning packets for additional flavor for your fresh fruit and veggie spread.

No matter the type of party you are hosting this season, a few trendy touches and clever food shortcuts will wow guests and keep them raving long after it has ended. Above all else, have fun and enjoy these special moments with loves ones because the memories will last a lifetime.

Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 25 minutes Ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar 1 egg 1 egg yolk 2 teaspoon Simply Organic vanilla extract

Frosting: 1/3 cup butter, softened 2 cups powdered sugar 2 tablespoons milk 1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic almond extract Sliced almonds

Sugar Cookie Bars directions: Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. Line with parchment paper so the paper overhangs the edges.

In a large bowl, stir the flour with the baking powder and salt; set aside. In a separate bowl, beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Slowly add the flour mixture until fully incorporated. Press mixture into bottom of prepared pan. Chill for 30 minutes and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until set in the center and edges are lightly golden. Cool completely before frosting.

Frosting directions: Using an electric mixer, whip butter until light and fluffy. Beat in powdered sugar, milk and almond extract on low speed until smooth. Spread over cooled cookie bars. Sprinkle with almonds. Cut into 32 pieces.

WRR

* Ask for help - Just because you’re hosting the party doesn’t mean you need to do all the work. When issuing invitations, specify what kind of a party it is. A potluck is great for family gatherings and parties. Just provide a list of items people should bring on the invite. Once the party is underway, ask a friend to be in charge of keeping drinks filled, and have another friend monitor the music station, so you can enjoy the party as well.

For most families, the living room is where gifts are exchanged, holiday movies are enjoyed and stories are shared gathered by the fireplace - a major focal point in the room. Give this cozy centerpiece a warm new look by creating a decorative display for your mantel.

Draping a festive garland is one way to achieve a distinctive display.

Do-it-yourself banners and garland have become increasingly popular as a great way to personalize your decor.

To make your own, start with a heavy fabric, like burlap or the kind used for upholstery, and cut enough pennants for your favorite holiday saying, like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let it Snow.â&#x20AC;? Then using a snowflake stencil, spray paint the pattern with a silver color. Krylon Metallic Brilliant Silver, for example, works very well on fabric. Spray paint chipboard letters in a bright white.

Once everything dries, spell out your message, one letter per pennant, and adhere the letters. Adorn the banner with plastic snowflakes and holly sprigs to finalize the festive look.

Trim a tree like a pro

The Christmas tree is another major focal point in your living room during the holidays. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tired of the same old display year after year, give the tree a fresh look by changing up the ornaments and adding a theme.

Start by choosing a specific color scheme, such as red and gold.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough decorations to match your new theme? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy and affordable to create your own by using items already around the house.

For example, use bulbs from an old string of lights to create a whimsical decoration. Remove bulbs from the strand and spritz the inside of the bulb with Krylon ColorMaster Paint + Primer spray paint in cherry red, emerald green and global blue. Roll the bulb around to distribute the paint for a beautiful translucent look. Add a little glitz with Krylon Glitter Spray in resplendent red, glamorous green and magical multicolor to the outside of the bulb for a festive look, and top off with your favorite embellishments like ribbon or bells. You can even spray paint old ornaments so they fit into your new color scheme.

Once your new decor is complete, hang ornaments and lights on your tree before displaying it for the whole family to enjoy.

Add elegant table toppers

If you are hosting get-togethers for family and friends, add a sparkle to your table. Not sure where to start? First, choose two or three colors.

Select a table cloth, table runner or placemats in your color palette and consider the arrangement for the middle of the table. Try replacing the traditional red and green with gold and silver accessories - candles, napkin rings, small figures in the plates and other decorative accents. Include candles so the flickering flames can create a warm atmosphere. Even casually scattered pine cones, fir branches, red roses or poinsettias will add a special touch on the table.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to make your fine china the highlight of the dinner; but this year, try making your placemats the conversation starter by utilizing antique sheet music - which can be found at old book stores or simply printed at home. These sheets will make for a chic and unconventional base for any place setting.

Remember, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a stressful time of year, with a little effort and creativity you can turn take your holiday decor from ho-hum to homey in no time. More information and additional project ideas can be found at www.krylon.com.

Trend-setting gifts for the women on your holiday shopping list

G

ift-giving doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come naturally to everyone. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re struggling to find the perfect present, or if you just need some inspiration, Los Angeles-based celebrity stylist Lawrence VonRompf has tips to help you please all the women on your holiday shopping list.

What makes a great gift? - A little pampering goes a long way.

Put together a sampling of her favorite bath and body products and fragrances and personalize it to show you put thought into the gift.

For example, include a monogrammed item like a scented candle or put all the products in a monogrammed gift box.

For the fashionista who has everything - Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste time and money trying to find the latest and greatest in style - she probably already has it. Instead, VonRumpf suggests enhancing her collection with nail polish or lipstick in the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hottest colors and shades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nail polishes make great gifts because the unique colors add a personal touch,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the colors in the Limited-Edition Mary Kay At Play Hail to the Nails Mini Nail Trio for this season. On the New York Fashion Week runways, navy blue was clearly the new black and Mary Kayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nail lacquer in Inky Blue aligns perfectly with this trend!â&#x20AC;?

Match her personality - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to find the right gift if you know her tastes in fashion, style, music or even favorite colors, VonRumpf says. Also consider her interests - would she prefer a spa day or a camping trip? A good rule of thumb is to choose a gift she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect - or purchase herself.

For the woman who does everything - Moms are the epitome of hardworking women and deserve a little â&#x20AC;&#x153;meâ&#x20AC;? time. Surprise her - or another under appreciated woman in your life- with a pampering gift to make her feel special and loved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to give my mom two things: a chance to unwind and time we can spend together. My favorite product for her is the Limited-Edition Mary Kay Pomegranate Satin Hands Pampering Set,â&#x20AC;? VonRumpf says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a personal touch, pair the set with a gift card or a trip to her favorite nail salon and get a manicure together.â&#x20AC;?

Under the mistletoe - Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a budding romance or a longterm relationship, surprise her with something thoughtful and personal. A scented gift works perfectly, as it offers a touch of personality and will also remind her of you every time she smells it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mary Kayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Limited-Edition Winter Wishes Fragrance Wand has citrus, jasmine and snow apple notes, so it is festive for the season but also smells great on anyone,â&#x20AC;? says VonRumpf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fragrance wand is easy to travel with, so for a truly memorable gift, I suggest pairing it with a little weekend getaway for you and that special someone.â&#x20AC;?

With these tips, finding the perfect gift for the lucky ladies on your list will be a cinch this holiday season. So get your shopping done early, relax and wait to see the look of joy on her face when she opens your present!

argain hunting is practically a sport, especially during the holiday shopping season. Deloitte’s 2014 annual holiday survey predicts the average American will drop nearly $1,300 this holiday season. With that level of spending in mind, planning to save real money elsewhere is crucial to managing a household’s bottom line.

Promotions such as standard Black Friday deals or free holiday shipping are nice but often don’t add up very quickly.

Huge value can be found on big-ticket items since their need can be anticipated months ahead. Purchasing them seasonally or via yearend clearance sales can provide savvy consumers with hundreds or thousands of dollars in savings.

Here are a few examples of products that fall into each category:

Year-end closeouts

* Cars. With the next year’s models already on lots for a number of months, dealers are anxious to move cars from the previous year.

Moreover, December is their last chance to improve year-end sales numbers - whether at the dealer or individual salesperson level.

Seasonal purchases

• Easy Hook-on Construction – No Heavy Bulky Hinge Sections to Lift and Assemble

Bring in this Ad for a 20% Discount

• Each Branch Independently Lit with Our Revolutionary, Patented Lighting System

Expires 12/28/14

* Furniture. The holiday season brings sales and promotions at many furniture stores on living and dining room items as people are preparing for holiday entertaining. In addition, outdoor furniture is generally at its best price due to it being out of season.

No matter a consumer’s methodology, a little planning goes a long way in finding bargains. There are very helpful websites - such as www.dealnews.com - that do a great job staying on top of deals both large and small. Online forums and traditional word of mouth can also assist in the hunt.

* Boats. Boat dealers are often trying to move inventory during the winter season, which gives the buyer an upper hand in negotiating prices. The off-season is also a popular time for boat shows, where dealers often offer their best prices of the year.

* Gas grills and air conditioners. Stores may offer deep discounts on off-season products such as air conditioners and gas grills. This rule of thumb is particularly valuable for people who live in cold weather climates, where summer goods become especially obsolete during the long winter months.

• Three Year Light Warranty LIFETIME Tree Construction Warranty

Nimco Dr

* Flooring. The end of the year is a great time to buy new hardwood flooring. Suppliers and mills often assess their inventory at this time and clear out product lines before the end of the year. Stores such as Lumber Liquidators purchase these products at discounted rates and pass the options and savings directly to consumers, resulting in a great deal that can also increase the value of a home.

Last-minute shopping tips to check everyone off your holiday list

T

he days are flying quickly past, and the holiday season will be over before you know it. If you haven’t completed - or even started - your holiday gift shopping yet, don’t worry; there’s still plenty of time to get everything accomplished.

First, be sure to find an idea for everyone on your list before you even think about shopping. With your ideas written down on a piece of paper, you’ll be efficient in checking each and every name off your list. If the ideas are causing you the most problems, try an Internet search.

Keywords to use can include “gifts for mom” or “musical gifts for a teenage boy.” And if your list includes people with hobbies, be sure to try an Internet search using those keywords as well.

Since you’re already at the computer looking for ideas, you might as well continue using it to make your purchase.

There’s a good chance you can find the same item for sale on several different vendor sites. A quick online search will help you find the item for the best price, and you might also discover you can get the present gift wrapped as well.

When comparing prices, be sure to confirm that the vendor can ship your gift on time, what the cost is for shipping, and whether the company has a return policy.

You also can go online to find excellent discounts and coupons for the items on your list. For example, Ebates. com provides discounts and coupons for vendors, and also rewards you with cash back on your purchases once you’ve finished your shopping. So not only are you able to find the item you wish to purchase with a free shipping offer or at a discounted price, but you’ll also receive a percentage of your purchase as cash back to be used however you want.

Before you finalize your purchase, make certain it will arrive before the holiday. Online retailers will provide you with last-minute shipping information so you will know when it’s too late. You’ll also know if you need to pay more for a faster shipping service. Websites like Ebates often have discounts on expedited shipping. The good news is, if you ship the present online while sitting at your computer at home or at the office, you can avoid the long holiday lines at the post office.

If you haven’t started your holiday shopping yet, your secret is safe. With these tips, you can check every name off your list with minimal effort and know that every gift will be delivered in time for Christmas day.

PREP ROUNDUP

Benet boys finding early-season success the weekend with a 81-48 win against Wheaton Warrenville South Saturday. Benet’s Emily Eshoo led all scorers with 20 points while Elise Stout posted a career-high 17 points in Saturday’s finale.

The Redwings will resume tournament play Friday.

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – Benet’s young team is learning how to win this season, and that includes winning ugly.

The Red Wings won a pair of games over the weekend, beating Joliet Catholic 63-34 on Friday and York 39-31 Saturday.

The York game wasn’t pretty, but grinding out a win is something the mostly new squad can learn from.

“It was a grind out there for sure,” junior Dan Sobolewski said after the York game.

“In the first few games of the season we weren’t defending like we were capable of. We were letting up 50 or 60 points a game. The last two games we’ve given up 34 and 31 points. To score 39 points and still win a game, that’s good for our team.”

Sobolewski scored a teamhigh 10 points and was the only player to score in double figures against the Dukes. The Red Wings trailed 10-2 early, but scored the final basket of the first quarter and outscored the Dukes 17-3 in the second quarter for a 21-13 halftime lead.

Benet led the rest of the game.

It was a defensive struggle between two teams which lost most of their starting lineups from a year ago. Players like Sobolewski and Colin Bonnett, who made a pair of key three-pointers in Benet’s run in the second quarter, are forced into bigger, leadership roles this season.

“We’re really, really young and inexperienced,” Sobolewski said. “Me and Colin are the two guys who have been there before so we have to help the rest of the guys get used to it. We got to lead the rest of the guys.”

At 4-2, Benet seems to have survived some early season struggles to find some stability. Junior James Dockery

Downers Grove South

The Downers Grove South girls went 1-1 in their last two games, defeating Willowbrook 43-31 on Dec. 9 before falling to West Suburban Gold power Proviso East 77-49 Saturday.

Senior guard Vashae Easley led the team with 21 points against Willowbrook.

The Mustangs (4-2, 2-1) play a conference game at home against Hinsdale South at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Benet’s Jason Malonga (left) guards York’s Walker O’Brien during a game Saturday in Elmhurst. and seniors Cameron Graves and Jeff Conrad have been some of the players stepping up into bigger roles this season.

Coach Gene Heidkamp believes the Red Wings are showing signs of progress despite some ugly play so far.

“This is a good program that we were playing, a good team and any time you can win against a good team you feel good about what we did,” Heidkamp said of York. “We turned over a lot of our guys just as they did from last year so I think it’s one of those things where you’re trying to learn how to win. It’s not always pretty.”

The Downers Grove North girls basketball team has lost back to back conference games for the first time in more than a year.
