A chat with C.O.D. Board president

Mazzochi, a WBHS grad, takes the helm after controversial few years By Dee Longfellow FOR THE INDEPENDENT

The Independent recently had a chance to catch up with Deanne Marie Mazzochi who is now serving as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the College of DuPage (COD). An Elmhurst resident, Mazzochi was raised in Villa Park, where she grew up and attended Willowbrook High School. Recently, she was given a Willowbrook Outstanding Alumni Award. A graduate of Deanne Boston University Mazzochi in chemistry and biology, she also holds a major in political science. “That had a lot of people scratching their heads,” she said. “Chemistry and biology along with political science? Many people wondered what I had in mind as a career. But it has worked out well.” After Boston University, Mazzochi went to law school at George Washington University, where she graduated with honors. Following her education, she and three partners set up a law firm in downtown Chicago, which has now grown to 70 employees. C.O.D. – a fantastic resource  Having taken classes herself at COD, Mazzochi recognizes what a valuable resource it is to have the school right here in DuPage County. “It’s a great place for hands-on learning in a university environment,” she said. “You can obtain a certification in many areas. Those kinds of offerings drive the value of COD. “It has been our goal to keep tuition affordable. Last year, we were able to keep tuition flat. This year, the tax levy went down, so everyone should look for that on their next property tax bill.” There are 2+2 programs and 3+1 programs, according to Mazzochi. “This means two years at COD, then two at a partner college,” she said. “Likewise, 3+1 is the same thing, three years at COD, then one at another. We have partner colleges that use the same curriculum, so that creates a nice synergy for our students who move on. It also makes it

that much more affordable.” The University of Illinois, for example, has a curriculum that matches with COD. Some students find it easier to take their Core requirements needed for graduation at COD, because classes tend to be smaller and more intimate, making it easier to get one-on-one time with a professor, according to Mazzochi. What got her interested in running for the COD Board was the fact that the school lost the Police Training Academy program to another institution. She began attending Board meetings and decided to run for office. “It’s one thing to sit there and listen to all the things that are wrong or lacking in an institution,” she said. “But if you’re not going to do anything about it, then you can’t complain. So I decided to run.” At the time of that election, COD was in considerable turbulence with its then-College President Robert L. Brueder, who was facing heavy criticism for alleged financial misappropriation and lack of accountability. Hence, there were 12 candidates running for just three open seats. Still, in the hotly-contested race, Mazzochi was the top vote-getter of them all, garnering almost 50,000 votes. Once seated, she joined others on the Board in the decision to void part of Brueder’s contract, then to terminate his employment. “We presented all the points we made to him in writing,” Mazzochi said. “We said, ‘Here is the record

Bensenville Police Reports

The Bensenville Police Department recently reported the following arrests and citations. Readers are reminded that an arrest does not constitute a conviction, and that suspects are considered innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. Juveniles age 17-or-younger are not named. June 21, 8:22 a.m. in the 600 block of E. George St., a complainant reported that a box of ammunition was delivered and stolen prior to him receiving it. This case is under investigation. BV16006010 June 21, 9:26 a.m. in the 300

block of W. Main St., Maria Valles, 59, of Wood Dale, was issued a no trespass warning for attempting to take merchandise without paying for it. BV16006015 June 21, 12:14 p.m. in the 100 block of W. Grand Ave., a complainant reported the air conditioning unit and electrical box was damaged by an unknown subject. The case is under investigation.

we based our decision on.’ But the next day, he filed a law suit against us.” COD filed a Motion to Dismiss shortly after, which is still pending. Because the case is in litigation, Mazzochi was not at liberty to talk very much about Brueder and the case against him, but she did mention a few incidents that had come under question. “There were expense reports for as much as $600 for wine for ‘entertaining donors,’” she said. “When the use of his ‘President’s Expense Account’ was criticized, he switched to Petty Cash. There were expenditures for ‘instructional supplies’ that totaled about $10,000. I mean, can you imagine, $10,000 out of Petty Cash? Most people don’t consider $10,000 ‘petty’ in any way.” Another concern among Board members was that many things were pushed through without discussion. There were times when bids should have been sought, but were not. “So our plan moving forward is to be more visible, more accountable to the public,” Mazzochi said. A new President joins the administration In October and November of 2015, a past Board Chair joined a Presidential Search Committee, which was aptly chaired by former House Speaker Lee Daniels, according to Mazzochi. “I was especially happy to have Daniels on board,” she said. “I knew he was invested enough to make sure we had a top notch candidate

for President.” Prior to offering the position to anyone, there were focus groups and community forums held for college students and other stakeholders, as well as throughout the community to get input on what the public sought in a College president. “The Search Committee narrowed it down to three very high quality candidates,” Mazzochi said. “Ultimately, we offered and the job was accepted by Dr. Ann Rondeau.” Rondeau came with an impressive curriculum vitae, beginning with being a 3-star Vice Admiral of the U.S. Navy – she is only the second woman in the history of the U.S. Navy to ever achieve this status. “You may recall a few years ago, there was a great deal of trouble with the operations of Great Lakes Naval Academy,” Mazzochi said. “Well, she’s the person who came in and turned it all around; she came in and fixed it.” Mazzochi said Rondeau serves on several boards including the Board that determines accreditation of institutions of learning. “Her record of experience made her a great fit, not only now but looking to the future,” Mazzochi said. “She’s a very humble person, but very direct. She has very high expectations but waits to know the situation before jumping at a solution. Her philosophy is ‘Covenant Leadership,’ which means creating an environment in which everyone is encouraged to do their very best. Teachers, professors, students, board members, administrators, ev-

eryone.” Most of all, Mazzochi said, what stays top of minds among Board members is to address the question: “Are students getting value for their education dollar?” What about the state budget impasse? “That’s definitely affecting us, but we have tried to keep a focus on the bottom line,” she said. “After Brueder left, we were able to cut approximately $9 million out of expenses. Fiscally, we’re in pretty good shape. We are self-funding MAP grants. We took a look at our bond debt and were able to retire some of it. We will have a balanced budget this year. “We’re just assuming we’ll get no state dollars, so we’ll continue to fund MAP grants.” The biggest chunk of the budget is $8.2 million per month for salaries, $2.2 million per month for benefits and $24 million per month for healthcare.

On the personal side Mazzochi and her husband have two children, Annabelle, 11, who attends Sandburg, and Benjamin, 6, who is at Hawthorne. Asked their favorite Elmhurst destinations, she quickly answers “Wilder Park.” “It’s such a nice place for the whole family. Then there’s the swimming pool, that would be my kids’ first choice. Everything is perfectly within walking distance of where we live. It’s great to be able to walk everywhere.”

A “crossbite” occurs when the upper teeth fall inside the lower teeth on one side when biting down. It is important to treat this type of malocclusion early because it can lead T. to premature tooth by Jeffrey Boland wear, gum disease (including tooth Licensed Orthodontic Specialist loss), asymmetrical jaw development, dysfunctional chewing patterns, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. A crossbite may be corrected by placing braces on the upper teeth. Otherwise, a device called a “palatal expander” can be placed in the upper jaw to spread the jaw and eliminate the crossbite. In addition, a customfit rubber mouthpiece known as a Bitesplint may be placed on the lower teeth. This appliance, which prevents the patient from biting completely, facilitates repositioning of the top teeth. Malocclusions like a crossbite affect the way you smile, chew, clean your teeth, and feel about your smile. Ultimately, orthodontics does more than create a pretty smile – it creates a healthier you. To schedule a free orthodontic consultation, please call our office. Straighter Smiles Are Our Specialty! If you have any questions or concerns regarding the condition or care of your appliances, please call! We would rather that you feel comfortable and assured that all is under control. P.S. The orthodontic appliance known as a “palatal expander” not only corrects crossbites, but it also creates needed space for crowded teeth.

He added. “The most rewarding part was the chance to work with such fine young men. Having their trust and confidence to work together to achieve a goal as part of a team.” When asked about his fondest memories as coach, Izzo found it hard to pin down just one. “There are so many, but a few of the highlights were the regional, sectional and state trophies and state championships, watching the successes of some of the athletes that many other people doubted, and being part of the program when my son, Jesse, became our first individual state champion. “It would be impossible to list all of the great memories that Montini wrestling has given me. I would like to thank anyone who was part of the teams over all of the years. I got so much from the boys that I can ever repay.”

Montini Catholic officially became a varsity wrestling program in the winter of 1968/69. The program has seen six head coaches throughout its 50-year history: Coach Jim Kavanaugh (who stared the wrestling program in the winter of 1966-67), Jim Mackey (1967-68 to 1977-78), Izzo (197879 to 1993-94), Mike Bukovsky (from 1994-95 to 2010-11) and Israel Martizez (from 2010-11 to current). Izzo has taught history at Montini Catholic for the past 42 years and was recognized as the Lasallian Educator of the Year in 1994. He was inducted into Montini Catholic’s Hall of Fame in 2001. Throughout its entire history, Montini Broncos have enjoyed thirteen (13) IHSA Team State Championships (IHSA Record), 8 of them consecutive; and 52 All Time Individual State Championships.

• Izzo

Continued from page 2 graduated from the high school in 1971 and started teaching there just five years later in 1975. Jim began his coaching career as an Assistant Wrestling Coach and was then named Montini’s fourth Head Wrestling Coach in 1978. He stepped down in 1994, but remained Assistant Wrestling Coach until 2005. During his 16 seasons as head coach he finished with a 180-1194 overall record and coached 15 IHSA State Qualifiers and 5 place winners. He had the distinction of coaching Montini’s first State Finalist (Rod Monis 1991) and Montini’s first multiple state place winner (Pat Mahoney 1991). “I was both shocked and humbled when I was told of the honor,” said Izzo. “That I was chosen by other coaches, manyof whom I have known and looked up to for years, was a thrill.”

Montini Catholic students on service trip to Nicaragua Montini Catholic High School in Lombard held a special commissioning Mass on June 8. The Mass, celebrated by Pastor Father Jeff Stoneberg of Christ the King Parish, was held for the students and chaperones preparing for their Nicaragua Mission Trip, which began on Monday and continues through Friday, July 1. This year is the second year for the trip to the garbage dump in Nicaragua. Montini, under the direction of Campus Minister Michael Blanchette, teamed up with International Samaritan for this life-changing service trip and is very proud to be globally expanding its service learning program. The school’s first “global mission” occurred last June when it sent a team of nine to work with the garbage dump community in Nicara-

gua. The group helped build a house for a single mom and her eight children. “It was such a powerful experience, a life changing experience,” said Michael Blanchette, Campus Minister at the school who has been instrumental in helping Montini Catholic’s service ministry to go global. International Samaritan is an organization that serves victims of severe poverty in developing countries by partnering with them and others to alleviate hunger, homelessness, endemic disease and ignorance. The mission of this organization is to build homes for single moms, and support educational programs for the children. Inspired by the parable of the good Samaritan, the group works to alle-

viate hunger, homelessness, and endemic disease across the world. According to International Samaritan, volunteers such as Montini Catholic not only lend physical and educational support to their missions, but more importantly, they bring hope to the people served. International Samaritan is proud to lead service-learning immersion experiences that touch the lives of both the people they serve, as well as the volunteers. Blanchette said that last year, upon their return from Nicaragua, the students said that they were very changed from their unique experience. “They have become more aware of how others live in the world and it challenges us to be more conscious of living simply so that those who

are in need can have more. It reminds us all of what is important in life.” Blanchette and his team are very excited to be returning again next summer to the same garbage dump community in Nicaragua. The school’s Campus Ministry team held a meeting in October and signed up a new team to travel to Nicaragua this summer. One member, Veet Zavari also traveled last year. “Veet and his family were very reluctant last year when approached about traveling to Nicaragua,” said Blanchette. “He was so inspirited by the experience, however, he was inspired to travel with us a second time.” This year the team is blogging daily about their experiences to up-

date their family and friends of their ventures. “We are happy that our friends and supporters back home will be able to keep up with us on a daily basis this year,” said Blanchette. “The students are very excited to be able to share their thoughts on this life-changing experience.” The blogs will be posted on the school’s website (montini.org) and on their Facebook page (facebook. com/montinicatholic). The 2016 group includes students Enrique Sandoval, Emeka Nkuku, Ashley Dunning, Gustavo Sanchez, Daniela Torres, Veet Zaveri, Ava Gianatasio, Lainey Nielsen and Paulina Torres. Chaperones—parent, Maureen Nielsen, and teachers, Hilda Castor and Michael Blanchette. See photo on page 14.

to not only have this priceless document but to make it accessible forever,” said Paul Herbert, executive director of the First Division Museum. The restoration of Field Order #35 was recently completed by Chicago’s Graphic Conservation Company. “Once every few years, a document comes into our lab for conservation that’s an important piece of our nation’s history,” said Russ Maki, president of Graphic Conservation. “This one certainly fits into that category.”

The artifact resides in the collection of the McCormick Research Center of the First Division Museum and is available for viewing. Field Order #35 once belonged to Major General Stanhope B. Mason, who as a Colonel was the 1st Infantry Division’s chief of staff during the Normandy invasion. He used it for planning the Division’s landing at Omaha Beach.

Don’t drink and drive this Independence Day

Every year, Americans head out on our roads to celebrate the Fourth of July at picnics, parties, parades and more. Unfortunately, for many, the celebrating includes drinking alcohol, which too often leads to drunk driving on one of the most traveled holidays of the year. That’s why Addison Police Department will be on patrol this Independence Day, making sure motorists are driving sober. “Don’t even think about drinking and driving this Fourth of July – or you will be arrested,” said Sergeant Dennis Kotlinski. “The ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ campaign means zero tolerance for drunk driving – no excuses.” In addition to looking for drunk drivers, Addison Department will be stepping up seat belt enforcement, particularly at night when seat belt usage rates are at their lowest. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data shows that young drivers (18 to 34 years old) are especially at risk of driving drunk. In fact, nationally, 58 percent of the drivers 18 to 34 years old who were killed over the July Fourth period in 2014 were driving drunk (BAC of .08 or higher). Motorcycle operators are also overrepresented as the highest percentage of alcohol- impaired drivers in fatal crashes. In 2014, more than a quarter (29 percent) of motorcycle operators in fatal crashes had BACs of .08 or higher.

Is Trump actually uniting Americans? First time since 9/11

It’s become a novelty to watch Donald Trump’s rambling speeches, while most Republicans make a mad dash for the door, wanting nothing to do with him. George Will just left the Republican party, now calling himself Independent. A long-time conservative columnist and Fox News contributor, Will said the straw that broke the camel’s back for him was Paul Ryan’s endorsement of Trump. It was tentative at best, half-hearted, with Ryan appearing to leave the option of bowing out on certain issues, but it was still an endorsement. The horse is out of the barn. What’s happening now is something I suspected – Trump appears to be imploding. At first, no one wanted to hear his grandiose speeches. Then people began to listen in to hear the nonsense rolling out of his mouth and on the speculation that a fight could break out at one of his rallies. Now it’s kind of fun just to watch him babble his drivel. He’s also been in the game long enough that he is starting to either repeat

Under my father’s fedora... Dee Longfellow

Editor himself OR fail to remember something (or someone!) he said several weeks or months ago. For a person who claims to have such a great memory, sounds like the Donald might want to call for one of those “Improve Your Memory” DVDs. The other thing he’s doing is uniting America. It may be against him, but it’s still uniting. There was a similar situation in Elmhurst when parents of children in District 205 Schools were ex-

pressing ill will toward then-Superintendent Lynn Krizic. At that time, one resident spoke during public forum at a Board meeting noting: “You’re uniting the community all right! You’re uniting us because everywhere you go, it’s the topic of conversation. At ball games, barbecues, everywhere, District 205 is what everyone is talking about.” I dare say it’s the same thing with the Donald. He’s got people talking about him everywhere they go. It appears that most level-headed people – Republicans AND Democrats – are united against him. Trump is reportedly (?) having trouble courting women voters (what?!). A recent poll claims Hillary has a double-digit lead over Trump among registered female voters. Another poll indicated that more than 70% of women have an unfavorable view of Donald. (Only 70%?) Well, hang on to your misogynistic horses. There is now a twitter account at #TrumpGirlsBreakTheInternet, showcasing the women who

are supporting Trump (supposedly). If you visit, make sure your kids are in the other room because it looks like a chat room for Playboy magazine. One young girl (who looks 20-something) is pictured, although fully clothed, sprawled across a chair with her legs spread wide in her cutoff shorts. Two other photos showed women with large breasts about to pop out of their tops. So, these are the women who support Trump! It all makes sense now. But George Will leaving the party is what turned on the light for me. If more and more people depart from the Republican party, is there any possible chance they’ll sit down with Democrats and actually work together? Will our leaders in Washington finally unite behind the efforts to ‘Dump Trump’ to the point they will consider doing what’s best for the American people, rather than wealthy donors and special interest groups? It’s hard to say whether or not we’ve come that far, but it seems to me the last time we were united

like this – united as Americans – not Republicans or Democrats, not fat, tall, thin, short, not blacks, whites or Asians – Americans – was after 9/11. Some people might find that blasphemous, but I ask you, when has the country ever been so united as Americans? World War II perhaps? It seems to happen when we must group together to fight a common enemy. There’s a campaign slogan for you: “Donald Trump: Fight the common enemy.”

From the red-faced department Thank you to the faithful but unidentified reader who pointed out that we have been publishing an error in almost every story that has to do with storm water management. The Independent has referred to “detention ponds” rather than “retention ponds.” As the reader pointed out, the water is being retained in the ponds, it is not being held after school. Good catch -- consider it caught and corrected. And thanks again!

What to do when encountering a coyote – Like I did! By Marisa Mancini FOR THE INDEPENDENT

(Ed. note: Marisa Mancini has just begun writing features for the Independent, when she stumbled across this story of her own – an encounter with a coyote! Enjoy her story.) Last week, while walking my 7-pound dog at 10:30 p.m. on Arlington Avenue near St. Charles Road, I was approached by a coyote. For a split second I stood there in disbelief, but as its paws approached my dog, I swung her by the leash up into my arms and started running.

The coyote pursued me all the way to my driveway. The Elmhurst Police Department confirmed there have been numerous coyote incident reports in the recent months. As residents trying to get used to these new “neighbors,” here are some safety basics for walking dogs in coyote territory as set forth by Jaymi Heimbuch, documentarian of The Natural History of the Urban Coyote and the Urban Coyote Project. • Keep your dog on a 6-foot leash instead of a retractable lease so you can easily control your dog. Retract-

able leashes may make it difficult to reel your dog back in. • Avoid walking your dog in areas where coyotes have been reported by city officials or neighbors. • Walk in open areas as this gives you time to spot and react to a coyote and avoid thick brush. If you and your dog encounter a coyote, it is important to have full control over your dog so it does not move towards the coyote. Pick up and carry small dogs. Stand tall and assertively (coyotes are wary of humans and your presence is usually enough to scare one.) Maintain eye

Governor urged to sign legislation for emergency relief to social service agencies As many Illinois social service agencies are cutting services due to the state budget impasse, State Rep. Kathleen Willis (D-Addison) is urging Governor Bruce Rauner to sign an emergency funding bill to provide relief to providers of services for the frail elderly, disabled children, rape victims and those with mental health challenges. “Our state’s safety net for our most vulnerable residents is evaporating due to the budget impasse,”

said Willis. “I am calling on the governor to sign emergency legislation to stop the bleeding and to allow these agencies to continue to help our neediest families.” Senate Bill 2038 is an emergency funding bill to provide resources to social services throughout Illinois. The legislation passed the General Assembly with overwhelming support from both Democrats and Republicans, and was sent to Governor Rauner’s desk for his signature to

become law on May 18. It remains unsigned. “This piece of legislation is supported by both Democrats and Republicans because it is undeniable how badly communities throughout the state need this measure,” Willis added. “As a member of the Illinois House Human Services Appropriations Committee, I am calling on the governor to not waste another day and sign this bill immediately.”

contact; do not turn your back on the coyote. Do not run. Running away can trigger a coyote to give chase. “Haze” the coyote by making noise – e.g., yelling, stomping your feet -- flashing a flashlight, tossing rocks near the coyote and anything else that will frighten the coyote off. Continue hazing and moving toward the coyote until it leaves but do not turn your back on it. Stay tall and assertive as you leave the area, even if it means walking backwards. If the coyote acts overly assertive, report the incident to city authorities.

To keep coyotes away your pets at home, do not let your pet outside alone, especially at night. Haze coyotes every time you see them, even if your pet is not with you. Avoid having any food in your yard including fallen fruit from trees, barbeque grill debris, open trashcans and compost piles. Had I followed these procedures, it is likely I would not have been chased by the coyote I encountered. I only hope that being more informed and proactive about coyotes will result in the fewer incidents overall.

Dental implant treatments does require a greater investment of time and money, but in the long run, it’s well worth it.

Taking in the lesson

SUBMITTED PHOTOS Addison Independent

District 4 teachers of grades 5-8 listened to an overview of some techniques they would be learning to engage their upper grade student in math. The “Math Camp” workshops took place last week.

Games to get acquainted

Fullerton teacher Luz Chavez (left) and Lincoln teacher Yasmeen Bain are pictured here, participating in an exercise that had them describing shapes to one another. It was part of a Math Camp held for teachers of District 4 schools as a brush-up course to teach math.

Teachers have some fun, too

Pictured is Army Trail teacher Michele Rose (left) and Stone teacher Elaine Reimers who paused during an exercise, in which teachers with similar shapes had to pair up and describe the objects they held to their partners.

Clapping a fascinating rhythm

Left: Trainer Kim Sutton led District 4 teachers of 2nd through 4th grade students to master rhythm and shapes. Here, Fullerton 4th grade teacher Barb Zaucha (left) and Fullerton principal Carrie Stange (in stripes) following a clapping pattern.

Following patterns

Pictured from left are Lake Park School teachers Fran O’Brien, Jennifer Jensen, Sia Rodriguez and Army Trail School teacher Allison Clarke as they work on following patterns with geometric shapes. The training class was conducted by trainer Kim Sutton as part of District 4’s recent teachers’ workshops.

Willowbrook’s Wozniak earns outstanding female athlete honor Recent graduate a standout on the soccer field and in the classroom By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

When recent Willowbrook graduate Samantha Wozniak found out she was the recipient of the school booster club’s outstanding female athlete of the year honor, she was surprised. “I did not expect that. There are so many good athletes in our school,” she said. “I’m happy and grateful that I won it. All the hard work I put into soccer with practices and games showed. Everybody saw the kind of athlete I am. It showed I worked hard and proved myself.” Wozniak played four years of soccer at Willowbrook. She also played volleyball and basketball her freshman year and tennis her junior and senior years. She started playing park-district soccer at the age of five and then joined the Lombard Firebirds travel team in the third grade. “I’ve played with Lombard my whole life,” she said. “It’s been a lot of fun there. All the families and teammates are really nice. Everybody is very supportive.” Wozniak’s affinity for the sport has simple roots. “I feel good when

I play soccer,” she said. “I’ve always loved it.” Wozniak will continue her soccer career next season at Concordia University-Chicago in River Forest. “Playing in college is always something I’ve wanted to do,” she said. “I’ve always dreamed of it and now it is happening. I’m superexcited about it.” Wozniak, mainly a center midfielder on the soccer field, plans on studying elementary education at Concordia. “I like working with kids,” she said. “I’ll probably focus on younger kids like first-, secondor third-grade. For a while I didn’t know what I wanted to do after high school. I’ve babysat and people have told me I’m good with kids. I thought about it and decided teaching would be cool. It also would be good to be a soccer coach.” An honor-roll student at Willowbrook, Wozniak also was heavily involved in a variety of clubs at the school, including honor societies for English and math. She also was part of the school’s spirit-based Blue Crew and provided mentoring to freshmen students making the transition from middle school to

high school. She also participated in the school’s Relay for Life initiative. “The biggest thing you can do is give back,” she said. “I love to be involved.” Wozniak, who is doing workouts to get herself ready for her first college season, said her final Willowbrook soccer season was her most memorable. “We had so much fun this past season,” she said. “I’m going to have so many soccer memories. We did the best we ever have. It was awesome to be part of something like that. I’m going to miss playing with my friends, some who I played with before high school.” Wozniak said she will particularly miss not being able to play with Alexis Jones, Erin Owen and Alyssa Spada. “I’ve been in club with them since I was little,” she said. “It’s going to be different without them.” This past season, Wozniak was named to the all-West Suburban ARCHIVE PHOTO The Independent Conference Gold Division team and also earned all-sectional, academic Samantha Wozniak, shown signing her National Letter of Intent in all-conference and honorable men- February, will continue her soccer career at Concordia University tion academic all-state accolades. next season.

Michaelson throws no-hitter against Downers North By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Willowbrook summer baseball team enjoyed some strong pitching during a recent four-game stretch. The Warriors went 3-1 with a win against Montini and a doubleheader sweep of Downers Grove North. The Warriors were bolstered by Alec Michaelson’s five-inning no-hitter in the first game against Downers Grove North. “Alec had a great outing for us,” said Willowbrook coach Vic Wisner. Sophomore shortstop Jack Hines had two triples. “Jack hit the ball really well,” Wisner added. Kyle Ferguson added two hits and Ben Espinoza was a constant presence on the base paths. Willowbrook won Game 2 by a 14-3 count. Will Hines pitched the first three innings. “Will did a fantastic job,” said Wisner. Trevor Jaloszynski was the winning pitcher in a 7-0 Game 1 victory against Montini. “Trevor pitched very well,” said Wisner. “We hit the ball pretty well. Ben Espinoza

still is on a tear at the plate and we moved guys around. We kept manufacturing and adding on.” Willowbrook then dropped a 9-2 decision in the finale. “They got on our pitching early,” said Wisner. “It was 3-2 after the first inning, but we couldn’t do too much after that.” Wisner also lauded the recent performances of Marshall McDonnell, Mason Kemp, Ryan Mintz and Vince Ruchala. “Vince had a huge day at the plate for us against Montini,” said Wisner. Ruchala also was cited for his strong defensive play in one of the Downers North games. “It was 4-2 and they had a guy on second base,” said Wisner. “One of their guys hits a shot down the third-base line. Vince laid out for it and threw the guy out at first. That quelled their momentum. Vince’s play shook us loose and spurred us on a ton.” Through the first several weeks of the summer season, Wisner has liked what he has seen. “Overall, we’ve been playing solid baseball,” he said. “We’re not making too many mistakes. We are hitting

good pitches and if we make an out, it’s a productive out where we are moving guys along. By doing that we’re picking up a run here and there. We have guys who are doing some things really well.” The coach also is seeing progress from his pitching staff. “Our pitching staff is going to be fine,” he said. “Our pitchers are doing a good job getting ahead of hitters and our defense has helped out. When the defense is there, that helps the pitcher out a ton.” Wisner also likes the competitive spirit on the team. “A lot of guys are stepping up,” he said. “There’s a lot of competition. Last year we had a lot of returning starters. This year is different. Competition brings out the best in people. There aren’t a lot of spots locked down and we have spots in the rotation. When that first group comes up, the second group wants to outdo them. It’s nice to see.” Willowbrook was slated to face York, Leyden and Glenbard East earlier this week. After that, the Warriors are off until the state summer tournament begins on July 11.

Addison Trail summer baseball team making strides By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Addison Trail summer baseball coach Mike Kennedy is seeing the exact result he would like as the season unfolds. Progress. The Blazers defeated Elgin Larkin last week and tied Streamwood. “We played much better this week,” said Kennedy late last week. In the Streamwood game, Addison Trail surrendered six runs in an inning-and-a-third, but roared back to eventually tie the game. “Our bats came alive and we tied it up,” said Kennedy. A key during the Streamwood game was a two-run single by senior-to-be Anthony Biondo. “That was huge for Anthony,” said Kennedy. “He came up with a big at-bat against Streamwood.” Ricky Perez had a strong mound outing in Addison Trail’s win against Larkin. Perez pitched four innings. “Ricky was outstanding on the mound,” said Kennedy. Addison Trail enjoyed a six-run sixth inning in the Larkin game. “That was awesome to see,” said Kennedy. “That put us up for good.” Simon Marinelli had a three-run triple in the Larkin game. “Simon has been doing really great things for us,” said Kennedy. “Overall, it was a much-improved week.” Addison Trail lost a JV game 1-0 to Streamwood. “Even though we lost 1-0, it still shows the maturity of our young guys,” said Kennedy. “They have really come together.”

(Continued from page 16)

Addison Trail’s game with Geneva was cancelled due to bad weather. “We’re starting to see a lot of growth from a lot of our young guys,” said Kennedy. “That’s kind of what we were hoping for.” Kennedy noted Addison Trail has yet to have any of its top-of-rotation pitchers throw due to other commitments. Returning shortstop Jack Kalbas also has been limited due to recovering from a basketball injury. “We’re coming out and competing every day and doing what is needed to get the job done,” he said. “I tell the younger guys every time someone isn’t here, you have the opportunity to step up and show what you have.” Addison Trail also has received recent boosts from sophomoreto-be Michael Scali and Dom

Zumpano. “Michael pitched fantastic in the Streamwood game,” said Kennedy. “He helped keep it close. Dom had some big hits for us. He’s a senior bat that is coming around.” Kennedy cited Marinelli as a prime example of a player taking advantage of an opportunity he

was given. “Last year our returning catcher had a broken foot during the regular season,” he explained. “Simon caught all summer for us. I looked at our assistant coaches and said how can we not have this guy on the varsity. He went out and proved himself and earned a varsity spot.

It’s a perfect example of what you want to see.” Addison Trail was scheduled to face Kaneland and South Elgin earlier in the week. “Those will be good measuring sticks for us,” said Kennedy. “That’s when the growth will come into play.”

PHOTO COURTESY OF TIMOTHY CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS The Independent

The excitement builds at Timothy Christian

Timothy Christian Schools was scheduled to hold a groundbreaking ceremony for its Project IMPACT earlier this week. Project IMPACT includes the construction of a new junior high school and a new athletics arena on the Timothy campus. The athletics arena will seat 1,200 people and features a 94-foot competition court for game nights and two 94-foot courts oriented sideways for practices, summer leagues and tournaments. The school is hopeful it will be able to host IHSA regional and sectional competitions in the new facility. The Independent will have a full update on the project and the groundbreaking ceremony in next week’s paper.
