Proposal would move historic W. H. Edwards Home, 942 Maple Ave., Downers Grove, to a property in the 700 block of Maple Avenue.

village hears proposal to relocate W.h. Edwards home New proposal would relocate the home to the 700 block of Maple Avenue By christine M. DeMMa foR ThE BuGlE

nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @DownersGrvBugle

Now that a special use permit has been granted to build a 55-unit condominium building on Maple Avenue, the force behind saving a historical home located where that condo would be constructed continues.

Months ago, a group of residents started a movement to save the W. H. Edwards Home at 942 Maple Avenue and block the condominium development. At the Jan. 22 Downers Grove Village Council meeting, a proposal showing a plan of how to relocate the home down Maple Avenue was presented.

According to the proposal, a plan to move the home to the corner of Maple and Elmwood avenues would result in the removal, temporary removal, and trimming or pruning of 47 parkway trees, as well as the pruning of 10 private trees. It also would require power lines and phone lines to be temporarily disconnected.

“The home is wider than Maple Avenue,” said Tom Nybo, who heads the Help Save 942 Maple Avenue Facebook page. “There is opposition for the tree removal.

I don’t want to see trees removed either, but trees grow back, a house cannot.”

Since the original proposal was written, the prospective buyer has stepped down and a new buyer has come forward.

John Tillotson would like to move the Edwards home to his property in the 700 block of Maple Avenue, according to the proposal. This would impact 25 parkway trees and five private trees, and would not require utility interruption.

Nybo said it is half the distance than the original plan, would have less of an impact on Maple Avenue and place the home in a more concentrated area of historic homes. Additionally, he said the new plan alleviates the majority of power line issues and will be a less expensive.

“It’s a good compromise,” Nybo said.

According to the proposal, the village is concerned that tree removal will negatively impact the character of the neighborhood. The proposal identifies three entities – the buyer, the condominium developer and the village – all have obligations.

The buyer would be responsible for the costs of relocating the structure, which includes obtaining

“the home is wider than Maple avenue,” said tom nybo, who heads the Help Save 942 Maple avenue Facebook page. “there is opposition for the tree removal. i don’t want to see trees removed either, but trees grow back, a house cannot.” permits, executing contracts with the relocation company, and tree management and costs, as well as improvement costs to ready the home for residential occupancy.

The developer’s obligations include donating the structure to the buyer, paying the buyer an equal or estimated cost for demolition of the home, and removing an existing oak tree on the 942 Maple Avenue property.

Village obligations include providing technical assistance to the buyer and developer to relocate the Edwards home, facilitating the disbursement of funds in escrow to the buyer upon completion of the move, reviewing building permit applications for the improvements to the structure, and identifying the public trees to be removed, trimmed or relocated.

The council is expected to make a decision on relocating the home at its Feb. 3 meeting.

Mayor Broda delivers state of the village address Past accomplishments, future plans outlined during 2015 address By gina catalano foR ThE BuGlE

nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @DownersGrvBugle

Lisle Mayor Joe Broda recounted the village’s 2014 accomplishments and developments, as well as its plans for the upcoming year, during Thursday’s annual state of the village address. The address, which was held during a Lisle Chamber of Commerce at the Hilton Lisle Hotel, outlined many developments added to Lisle in 2014, including the Universal Technical Institute. Broda said Lisle also welcomed back Raymes in 2014, a local restaurant that remained closed for 18 months after their original building was damaged by flooding.

Additionally, the mayor noted

that grant money was approved for Metra’s Main Street tunnel in 2013 and it was rehabilitated in 2014.

“I still have visions of making it prettier inside,” Broda said. “It’s kind of difficult to make a tunnel prettier but we’re really working on that.

As far as housing is concerned, the mayor spoke of multiple areas both developed and in the process of being developed. Arbor Place, an independent senior living facility, plans to open this summer, and he said the facility would offer 3.3 acres of affordable one- and twobedroom options. Additionally, the Arbor Trails subdivision is 75 percent complete, according to Broda, and the upscale living apartment complex Avant is 77 percent leased.

charges filed in new Year’s day sexual assault Bond set at $5 million for man charged in sexual assault of elderly woman Authorities announced Wednesday that bond has been set at $5 million for a man accused of sexually assaulting an elderly Westmont woman in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day. Tevin Rainey, 21, of Woodridge, was charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault, armed robbery, home invasion and aggravated kidnapping. All of the charges are Class X felonies.

“The defendant’s actions in this case are extremely disturbing,” DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said. “Allegations of sexual assault, robbery and kidnapping will not be tolerated in DuPage County and will be met with the full force of the law.”

Police said Rainey gained entrance to the woman’s Westmont apartment at approximately 5 a.m.

Jan. 1. Once inside the apartment, Rainey allegedly forced the victim, who police said is more than 85 years old, onto a bed and sexually assaulted her.

The suspect then demanded money from the woman and forced her to drive to an ATM machine and withdraw funds while at gunpoint, according to police. Rainey then allegedly told the woman to drive to a nearby apartment complex where he exited the vehicle and walked away.

Police said the victim called authorities upon returning to her home, and she was transported to a local hospital to be treated for her injuries. An investigation by Westmont police, with assistance from the Woodridge Police Department and the DuPage County Crime Lab, led to Rainey, who was already in police custody on unrelated charges.

“The Westmont Police Department has worked very hard to bring a quick resolution to this case to reassure our residents that they live in a safe community,” Mulhearn said. “Hopefully these charges will bring justice and some closure to the victim. As the case progresses, we will continue to work closely with the State’s Attorney’s Office to secure a conviction on these charges.”

Rainey’s next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 10 in front of Judge Daniel Guerin.

The Old Village Hall Site Redevelopment also was addressed, as a final approval will be voted on at a yet-to-be-determined date.

Construction is expected to begin during late spring or early summer.

Broda said future plans also include Marketplace Plaza, which is anchored by Dunkin Donuts, and Yerbabuena, a two-story restaurant that was recently demolished and redeveloped.

The mayor said he was pleased with the village’s low debt - $4.5 million - and high bond rating - Aa2

by Moody’s.

“We are in very sound condition, and we have a great opportunity for the future,” Broda said. “Things are looking very good for the village of Lisle.”

Lisle also improved its police services in 2014, adding more officers to community service and street crime, as well as two new

deputy chiefs.

During the year, the village also improved on multiple areas of communication. The website was revamped, including a mobile version and opportunity for more online engagement within the community. Videos were made showcasing various topics, such as special events and economic development.

An electronic community events sign created a faster and more efficient way of spreading village news and emergency information.

CodeRED, Smart 911 and StormReady were all established so residents can stay informed with weather and community alerts, as well as help assist the village in responding to emergencies.

The village also created the Volunteers 4 Lisle Program, where seven volunteers have expanded the services of the community

through events, bulletins and training courses.

At the end of his address, Broda named the Eyes to the Skies Committee the winner of the 2014 Community Spirit Award.

Celebrating its 33rd anniversary in 2015, Eyes to the Skies has been recognized locally and nationally.

The Eyes to the Skies Committee was formed in 2009 and is a nonprofit organization.

“It’s a tremendous honor to be recognized for the efforts that we put into this community, and we look forward to being able to do this for many years to come,” said Brad Hettick, Lisle Village Board and Eyes to the Skies Committee member.

More on the state of the village address, as well as how to sign up for CodeRED, Smart 911 and StormReady, can be found on the village’s website, www.villageoflisle. org.

Approval granted for Woodridge Horizon Senior Living Community Development to include affordable independent living apartments for adults 62 and older The Woodridge Village Board approved final plans for the Woodridge Horizon Senior Living Community, which will be the first senior housing development in the community.

The 93-unit, $20 million development includes market rate and affordable independent living apartments for adults age 62 and older, according to the village. The four-story development, located at 8099 Janes Ave., will include a mix of one- and two-bedroom units with fully equipped kitchens and common area amenities, such as a community room, fitness center, game room, library and computer lab, in the building.

“Beginning with a village board workshop on senior housing in 2008, the village has been working toward this goal to offer residents the opportunity to remain within the community as their housing needs change, “ Woodridge Mayor Gina Cunningham said. “We are delighted to be able to fulfill this village board goal that expands housing options, promotes community reinvestment and meets the needs expressed by our residents.”

In 2008, the village entered into a development agreement with a local apartment complex owner to buy existing apartment buildings, demolish them and offer the land for future senior housing development opportunities, according to the village.

“We are honored to become a part of Woodridge, a community that clearly values its seniors and understands the need for providing them with high quality affordable housing,” said Beth Demes, executive director of the Alden Foundation.

The Alden Foundation was selected by the village board in 2012 as the senior housing developer through a RFQ process.

Low Income Housing Tax Credits from the Illinois Housing Development Authority will finance about one-half of the project cost for the Woodridge Horizon Senior Living Community.

Additional sources of funding for the project include HOME program funds from DuPage County, a grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago and an energy grant from the State of Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

“We are honored to become a part of Woodridge, a community that clearly values its seniors and understands the need for providing them with high quality affordable housing,” said Beth Demes, executive director of the Alden Foundation. “We are grateful to the Village staff and board for selecting us and look forward to the ribbon cutting of Woodridge Horizon in the summer of 2016.”

The village said the Alden Foundation expects to break ground on the project this spring.

enforcement officials have already recorded 32 ‘saves’ of individuals in 2014, who would have died had it not been for them being equipped with Narcan,” Connelly said in a release.

“We have to do more to help combat the scourge of heroin and other opioids and my bill will enable school medical personnel to use this valuable antidote.”

Connelly added that the DuPage Narcan program has trained 35 departments and approximately 1,900 law enforcement officers since it began.

“The program is the first countywide application of Narcan in the

state,” he said.

Robert Berlin, DuPage County state’s attorney, said Narcan has helped slow the heroin epidemic.

“This bill is about saving lives, pure and simple,” Berlin said.

“Narcan is a proven tool in law enforcement’s effort to save lives.

The DuPage project can serve as a model for the rest of Illinois.”

Richard Jorgensen, DuPage County coroner, said he supports the legislation because it is a common-sense solution, adding that his office has dealt with an ever-increasing number of heroinrelated overdoses in recent years.

“Narcan has very few, if any,

serious side effects and when administered can be a life-saving tool,” Jorgensen said.

“When used to reverse the effects of opioids and heroin, we have 32 documented cases, right here in our county that show the positive benefits.”

Jorgensen added that evidence shows educating school medical personnel on how to use Narcan can help save school-aged children.

The legislation would make school districts and authorized personnel immune from civil liabilities if the drug is administered in “good faith.”

Single-family home construction increases in 2014

Single family home construction is on the rise in Woodridge.

The village of Woodridge said it issued 30 permits for construction, including eight new townhomes, in 2014. This is up from the 27 permits issued in 2013. With the approval of three single-family home subdivisions in 2014, the village anticipates close to 300 new single-family homes to be constructed by 2019 based upon projections provided by developers.

This five year projection brings the Village back to pre-recession housings starts, last reported in 2007.

The single family subdivisions approved in 2014 includes Fox Wood Estates near Dunham and 75th Street, Timber Edge near the intersection of 83rd Street and Lemont Road, and Farmingdale Village 26 near the intersection of Heritage Parkway and Lemont Road.

Respectively, these developments were approved for 17, 149 and 107

single family home lots.

“Woodridge continues to see growth across retail, industrial/ office and residential sectors,” Mayor Gina Cunningham said. “The resurgence of home building is another great sign for the Village.”

Visit the village website for more details and a graph of single family home construction since 2007 with projections until 2019.

Single family construction trends are just one of the many topics covered in this year’s Village of Woodridge Economic Development Annual Report. The Annual Report highlights accomplishments, changes to the development environment, and challenges from the previous year.

keep rolling DGN on 7-game winning streak

By mike sandrolini sports reporter

mike@nilesbugle.com @Voyager_Sport

A number of creative banners dotted the student section at Downers North last Friday as the Trojans hosted Oak Park-River Forest in a West Suburban Silver contest.

Among them: “Your Players Are Soft,” with the letters OPRF circled vertically, and even one urging DGN coach Jim Thomas to become a presidential candidate: “Thomas 4 President.”

“My dean said he’d vote for me and I said, ‘That’ s one (vote) out of everybody else in the world,’ ” Thomas quipped. “I’ll just stick to coaching.”

All signs are pointing up for the sizzling Trojans, who won their seventh game in a row, 49-44, over the Huskies, and are winners of eight of their last nine.

Junior Devin Blake, who scored nine points, summed up the reasons for DGN’s surge.

“There’s a lot of things you can say,” said Blake, playing in

his first game after missing two weeks due to a sprained ankle.

“We’re starting to click, maturity, we have a Division I football player from Wisconsin (Dave Edwards); he’s back.

“Everyone is focusing in, everyone is realizing the goal: winning a regional, winning a sectional and seeing if we can go downstate. That’s where we want to be, playing in those big games.

That’s where we’re headed.”

Edwards, coincidentally, returned to action for the first time this season at the start of the Trojans’ current winning streak, a 64-48 victory at the Romeoville holiday invite Dec. 26. Edwards, who played quarterback for the Trojans but will likely become a tight end at Wisconsin, injured his knee during the football season and missed DGN’s first nine games to rest it.

Thomas said the Trojans’ current streak is a team effort.

“It’s hard to place a finger on

Rugged schedule looms for Downers S. Mustangs face two ranked foes this week By mike sandrolini sports reporter

mike@buglenewspapers.com @Voyager_Sport

photo by mike sandrolini

Vashae Easley scored 14 points in Downers South’s 53-41 win over Leyden Saturday.

After whipping Leyden last Saturday evening, 53-41, Downers South’s girls basketball team heads into a three-game week this week, with two of those contests against ranked opponents—one of which is West Suburban Gold-leading Proviso East on Friday night.

The Mustangs have already faced the Lady Pirates twice this season. The Pirates crushed Downers South, 77-49, in midDecember—the only WSG game the Mustangs have lost this season—but played better despite losing to the Pirates 6148 at the Oswego East Holiday Classic on Dec. 27.

Prior to its Friday showdown with the Pirates, however, DGS traveled to Benet on Tuesday night. The Redwings (20-1) were the No. 2 team in last week’s High School Cube rankings, while the Pirates (17-3, 8-0) sat at No. 14. DGS also will be at Addison Trail Saturday afternoon.

If the Mustangs (12-5, 7-1) can upend the Pirates, it will give them a share of first place in the conference.

“I’m hoping the third time around at home will give us a little bit of an edge and a

benefit,” said coach Lyndsie Long, whose club has won four of its last five games. “If we win that, that’s going to be huge for conference.

“Benet’s a great team; they’re going to be tough to beat.

They’ve got a lot of weapons.

It’s going to be a good challenge for us and I’m excited to play them and have our girls play them. It’s going to be a fun environment; plus it’s going to be a good learning experience as well.”

Senior forward Avaliese Porlier netted a game-high 15 points versus Leyden, but when the Mustangs eventually opened up a 20-point lead (53-33) in the fourth quarter, Porlier was pulled from the game in order to avoid the risk of further injury to her right thumb.

Porlier has been playing despite suffering the injury in practice a week ago. She had the thumb taped up during the game, and then iced it while on the bench. Her thumb area was visibly red while she held the ice pack on it.

“It definitely makes things a little more difficult because I really can’t get the follow through that I want (on her shot) with the tape on and it’s just a little harder catching the ball,” she said. “I’m trying to work with it, but so far it hasn’t been as bad as I thought it would be.”

Porlier said she’s not about to take any games off to rest her thumb.

“I’m not sure if it’s broken or sprained, but there’s definitely something wrong with it,” she said. “I’m just trying to play through it because there’s not that much left in the season.

It’s my senior year so I don’t want to sit out.”

However, Porlier hasn’t had to carry the scoring load as the Mustangs are getting offensive contributions from throughout the lineup. On Saturday, DGS got 14 points from senior Vashae Easley and 10 from sophomore forward Kiera James. In the Mustangs’

Eagle men win 10th conference game Novak tallies 1,000th point for women The Benedictine University men’s basketball team improved to 10-3 in conference play by rolling past Wisconsin Lutheran 83-57.

Benedictine gained control of the contest early. Trailing 117, the Eagles used a 10-0 run to nab a 17-11 lead. Adam Reynolds opened the run with a layup and Kevin Rollins finished the spurt with a jumper at the 10:52 mark.

Benedictine went on to lead by 11 in the first half but Wisconsin Lutheran battled to within four on two occasions late. The Eagles scored the final five points of the half and held a 38-29 lead at the break.

The lead quickly inflated early in the second half as Benedictine tallied the first seven points of

the frame to move ahead 45-29 on a Michael Blaszczyk layup with 17:31 remaining. The visitors whittled the margin down to 10 points at 55-45 just before the halfway point of the second but could pull no closer. Benedictine pulled away late, leading by as many as 28 points in the win, a fourth in a row.

The Eagles finished the game shooting 50.9 percent from the field. Benedictine scored 32 points in the paint and held a 41-26 edge on the glass, leading to 16 secondchance points. Benedictine also turned 11 turnovers into 19 points while notching 22 from the free throw line. Blaszczyk led all scorers with 17 points, nine

Trojans looking to regain winning ways Downers North off to 1-4 start in 2015 By mike sandrolini sports reporter

mike@buglenewspapers.com @Voyager_Sport

The way coach Stephan Bolt sees it, with five games remaining in the regular season (not including Tuesday’s nonconference game at Lemont), his Downers North girls basketball team needs to get tougher and exhibit a will to win.

“We haven’t found a way to get over that hump in close games and come out on top,” said Bolt after the Trojans dropped a 57-52 matinee at home to Oak Park-River Forest last Saturday.

“We have a new team and a new identity (compared to last year) and we’re trying to find that.

“I think once we do we’ll be all right, but we’re searching for it.

It has to be defense, rebounding and you’ve got to take care of the ball and we’re not doing those three things right now.”

The Trojans, 1-4 in the new year, dominated the first quarter against OPRF, storming out to a 9-0 lead as Peyton Winters and Jaida Green combined to score DGN’s first nine points. DGN led 9-3 at quarter’s end.

But the Huskies overtook the Trojans during the second period and grabbed a 25-23 halftime lead on a three-pointer at the buzzer from Katie Mullins. Mullins’ trey was one of 10 OPRF hit on the day.

“They can shoot; we know that,” Bolt said, “but we also gave them a lot of wide-open shots, too, which doesn’t help. We have to find a way to constantly and consistently defend every time down the floor. We have lapses with that, and when you have lapses we get exposed.”

DGN (10-9, 3-5) outscored the Huskies 7-1 to start the third quarter and regained a 30-28 lead on Green’s layup off an OPRF turnover. Then the Huskies went

on a 12-0 run to surge ahead, 4030, with 2:24 to go in the quarter.

Emily Schreck’s trey provided the Huskies with their largest lead of the game, 46-33, a minute later.

DGN, though, climbed back into the game thanks to a 12-1 fourth-quarter run—first tying it 47-47 on two Izzy Greenblatt free throws, and then taking the lead, 49-47, as Green (16 points) drove to the bucket for two.

Greenblatt, a senior, took the ball to the hoop with authority during that sequence, drawing fouls inside and sinking six free throws in the process.

“I just didn’t want to lose the game,” Greenblatt said. “I wanted to win the game. I was doing whatever I could to help my team win the game.”

Green sank a three-pointer with 1:13 left to provide the Trojans with what would be their final lead of the matchup, 52-51.

OPRF took the lead for good on Haley Hoye’s two free throws with 51.7 to play. Hoye (game-high 19 points) sealed the win with two more free throws in the final 10 seconds.

Bolt summed up the game’s final stretch this way: “Turnovers and bad shot selection,” he said. “We turned it over too many times and we panicked. We lost our composure down the stretch.”

Greenblatt agreed.

“I think Oak Park shot very well,” she said, “and I think we made some bad decisions down the line that cost us the game.”

Winters led the Trojans with 17 points, including 11 in the first half. Greenblatt and Lauren Porcelli each had eight.

Earlier last week, the Trojans let a 32-28 third-quarter lead slip away at Hinsdale Central. The Red Devils outscored DGN 1711 over the final eight minutes and won, 45-43. Green topped

the Trojans with 20 points, and Madison Farnsworth contributed eight. Winters pulled down 12 rebounds and blocked six shots.

“I really just think we need to come together and figure out a way to win,” Greenblatt said. “We have the skills and we have the

coaching; we have everything we need to win. We just need to find a way to do it. We need to do the little things.”

the buzzer to give the Mustangs a 43-29 lead at the end of three quarters on Saturday—scored 15. A 54-48 Mustangs victory opposite Morton Jan. 9 saw all five starters reach double

figures.

“Looking back at last year, we kind of only had one outstanding scorer,” Long said.

“This year it’s more balanced and it’s great thing because if

one person is off, you can look to another person. And it’s harder to guard, too, so it’s a lot better when it’s balanced.”

“We’re all trying to get everyone involved,” said James,

who’s in her first varsity season after playing last year on the sophomore team as a freshman.

“I think everyone works well together and everybody plays as a team.”

trojans | from page 11 it because they’re all such great kids and they all bring their own value to our team,” he said.

“They’re a good group to be around, so for me to say it’s one kid or another would be cheating someone else out of something.

You can hear kids on the bench rooting on their buddies on the floor and wanting it as bad as the guys getting the stops on the floor.”

The Trojans certainly had plenty of defensive stops during the second half last Friday,

eagle | from page 13 of which came from the line.

Rollins added a season best 15 while Tim McGinty pulled down 13 rebounds. Mack Brown scored nine off the bench as the Eagles received 29 points from reserves.

WOMEN The Benedictine University women’s basketball team suffered a 59-52 loss at home to Wisconsin Lutheran, leaders of the NACC, on Saturday afternoon.

Benedictine led by as many as six points in the first half. Nicole Botich opened a string of six consecutive points with a layup at the 13:49 mark, breaking a 7-7 tie. Shannon Ryan hit a jumper to extend the lead to 13-7 with 11:38 remaining. Meghan Novak buried a three-pointer with 6:58

holding the Huskies scoreless from the halfway point of the third quarter until midway into the final quarter.

Prior to that, OPRF was threatening to pull away with a 29-22 lead after leading 21-18 at the break. The Trojans went on an 11-0 run to close the third quarter, capped by a Jordon Kedrowski three-pointer, and took a 33-29 advantage.

DGN upped its margin to 10 points, 39-29, on two Myles Farley free throws.

“It’s the first win in two years against them,” Blake noted. “It’s

exciting to get back with the guys.

We’ve got something special going, seven in a row.”

Free throws proved to be crucial to the Trojans’ victory. The Trojans were nearly automatic from the foul line, going 10 of 11 in the fourth quarter (they went 15 of 19 for the game).

Farley and Jack Fallbacher combined to hit 6-for-6 at the line during the final 1:29. OPRF’s Dallis Flowers sank a threepointer from the baseline with 16.1 seconds to play, slicing the Trojans’ lead to 47-44, but Kedrowski—the game’s leading

scorer with 12 points—sank two more free throws one second later to make it a two-possession game.

“It felt from a coaching perspective that Flowers was getting to the rim a lot and making things happen,” Thomas said, “but when you take a look at it, we only gave up 21 (points) in the first half, and we had an eight-minute stretch where they didn’t score in the second half.

“The kids had each other’s backs, and that eight-minute stretch was big for us” The Trojans (11-5, 2-4) have

an opportunity to avenge two earlier season conference losses when they visit Proviso West on Friday and Lyons Township Saturday evening. DGN lost a heartbreaker at home Dec. 5 to Proviso West on a half-court shot in the final seconds, and then fell to LT—ranked 20th in the latest CSN Chicago’s Prep Basketball Power Rankings—a week later.

“We’ve got to be road warriors,” said Thomas, whose squad also will be at Montini on Wednesday.

“We’ve lost some tough games.

Four of the five teams that we’ve lost to were ranked.”

left in the first, putting the Eagles ahead 16-12. Wisconsin Lutheran responded with 10 unanswered points, taking a 22-16 lead.

Benedictine did not lead again in the game, trailing 26-22 at the half after shooting just 29.4 percent from the floor.

Wisconsin Lutheran netted the first four points of the second half, opening an eight-point margin at 30-22. Benedictine quickly put together seven in a row to battle within 30-29. Novak tallied the final five points of the run, finishing with a three-pointer at the 13:54 mark. The visitors were able to move ahead by double figures near the mid-point of the half. Trailing by 13 points in the final two minutes, the Eagles pulled within seven but could get no closer. The win handed Wisconsin Lutheran a sweep of

the season series and moved the Warriors into first place all alone, a game ahead of Benedictine.

Novak led Benedictine with 16 points. Botich logged a doubledouble with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Botich owns six double-doubles on the season.

Benedictine finished the game shooting 31.8 percent.

Benedictine (10-7, 10-2 NACC) welcomes Alverno on Wednesday night.

Meghan Novak became just the seventh player in program history to surpass the 1,000-point marker as the Benedictine University women’s basketball team survived a home test from Aurora on Tuesday night with a 52-48 win, the 10th of the season in conference play.

Benedictine appeared in position to run away with the

contest early, scoring the first eight points of the game. Briana Hamilton capped the early offense with a jumper at the 15:02 mark. Aurora struck with eight consecutive points to even the score just before the mid-point of the half and start a back-andforth night. The visitors led 18-13 with 4:43 left in the first but did not score again as Benedictine closed on an 8-0 run. The last three points of the half came on a three-pointer from Novak with 1:23 to go, putting the senior in exclusive company while allowing the Eagles to open a 21-18 lead.

Tracey Walsh was the last player to reach 1,000 points, achieving the mark in the 2011-12 season. Both teams shot under 30 percent in the opening 20 minutes of action.

Aurora came from five points behind early in the second half to

open a 26-25 lead. Trailing 30-29, Novak connected on a jumper to hand Benedictine a 31-30 edge with 13:36 left. The basket was part of a 6-0 spurt. The Eagles led by as many as six points but could not put the game away. Aurora battled to within 47-45 with just over four minutes left. The visitors were within a single point with 1:12 to go and had several chances to tie the game. Two free throws from Novak sealed the decision, a fourth in a row for Benedictine.

The contest featured six ties and six lead changes. Benedictine finished the game shooting 30.6 percent from the floor and held a 44-39 edge on the glass. Novak paced the Eagles with 15 points, knocking down three trifectas.

Vincenza Ranallo also reached double digits with 12. DeKayla Crayton grabbed 12 rebounds.

Who’s the boss?

Dear Dave, I’m trying to get out of debt, but it seems like something unexpected always happens to knock me back down. I’m single, make $45,000 a year, and I have $12,000 in debt, in addition to a mortgage payment of $1,124 a month. I’ve been trying to live on a budget, but I still don’t know where all the money goes.

Anonymous Dear Anonymous, For starters, your house payment is kind of heavy. I always recommend that your monthly mortgage payment be no more

Downers Grove. Bundle up, strap on snowshoes, and hit the trails at Lyman Woods. Join a naturalist on a snowshoe hike and discover the beauty and wonder of the winter forest. Snowshoe hikes are free with the rental of snowshoes at the Interpretive Center ($6 per pair). First come, first served. Ages 5 & up. For more information, call 630-963-9388 or visit www. dgparks.org.

Spring Palette Art Show.

11 a.m. - 4 p.m. at the Gregg House Museum, 115 S. Linden Ave., Westmont. It’s the 10th anniversary of the Spring Palette Art Show. Staff will transform the Gregg House Museum into an art gallery filled with color, imagination and creativity. Come experience a palette of unique oil paintings, watercolor paintings, prints, pencil drawings, glass, sculpture and more. All of the works of art showcase the talents of local artists, including

than 25 percent of your takehome pay. Still, the biggest thing is that you’ve got to get control of your money instead of letting it control you. I want you to sit down every month, before the next month begins, and write it all down on paper, on purpose.

Give every single dollar a name, and tell your money what to do.

Once you’ve done this, the idea of “trying to live on a budget” stops being some vague idea floating around out there and becomes a real game plan for your money!

Padua’s Basilica of St. Anthony is a fascinating mix of romanesque and Gothic architecture. CreDit: rick Steves /rick Steves’ europe

Padua home to prestigious university that hosted Galileo, Copernicus, Dante and Petrarch From its student vibe to its early-Renaissance masterpieces, Padua is a great place to get chummy with the winds of the past

whenever they defend their thesis, i’ve never been here without little graduation parties erupting on the street all day long. Graduates are given a green laurel wreath. then formal group photos are taken. it’s a sweet, multigenerational scene with family love and pride busting out all over. then, grandma goes home and the craziness takes over. Sober clothing is replaced by raunchy wear as gangs of friends gather around the By rick steves new grad in the street in TRIBuNE coNTENT AGENcy front of the university, and www.icksteves.com the roast begins. a giant @RickSteves butcher-paper poster with a i’m in Padua (just half an generally obscene caricature hour from Venice, but a world of the student - and a litany away), and i really like this of “this is Your Life” photos town. Padua’s museums and and stories - is presented churches hold their own in rick steves’ to the new grad who, with italy’s artistic big league; its europe WitH riCK SteVeS various embarrassing pranks hotels are reasonably priced being pulled, reads the funny and the city doesn’t feel statement out loud. the poster touristy. nicknamed “the Brain of Veneto,” is then taped to the university wall for Padua (“Padova” in italian) is home to a all to see (and allowed to stay there for prestigious university (founded in 1222) 24 hours).

During the roast, the friends sing that hosted Galileo, Copernicus, Dante and Petrarch. Pilgrims know Padua as a catchy but crude local university the home of the Basilica of St. anthony, anthem, reminding their newly where the reverent assemble to touch esteemed friend to keep his or her feet his tomb and ogle his remarkably intact on the ground. once i hear this song lower jaw and tongue. and lovers of (which starts like an olympic games early-renaissance art come here to fanfare and finishes like a German make a pilgrimage of their own: to cartoon: oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah) gaze at the remarkable 14th-century and see all the good-natured fun, i just frescoes by Giotto in the Scrovegni can’t stop singing it. eventually i stop humming this Chapel.

When i come here, i like to ramble profane ditty to seek out Padua’s around Padua’s old town center. it’s two main sights - the Basilica of St. a colonnaded, time-travel experience anthony and the Scrovegni Chapel. through some of italy’s most inviting Friar anthony of Padua - patron saint squares, perfect for lingering over an of travelers, amputees, donkeys, “aperitivo.” But it’s not old-time stodgy pregnant women, barren women, - this university town has 60,000 flight attendants, and pig farmers - is students and a wonderfully youthful buried in the basilica. Construction of vibe. no wonder Galileo called his 18 this impressive romanesque/Gothic years on the faculty in Padua the best church (with its Byzantine-style domes) started immediately after of his life. all over town, young people - anthony’s death in 1231. as a mark of apparently without a lot of private his universal appeal and importance in space in their apartments - hang out and the medieval Church, he was sainted kiss and cuddle in public spaces. these within a year of his death. Speedy. students seemed very comfortable and for nearly 800 years, his remains literally under the medieval tomb of and this glorious church have attracted pilgrims to Padua. one of their city’s historic fathers.

Gaze past the crowds and through Since the students can graduate the incense haze to Donatello’s glorious

crucifix rising from the altar, and realize that this is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Christendom. in the Chapel of the reliquaries you’ll see the basilica’s most prized relic - anthony’s tongue. When anthony’s remains were exhumed 32 years after his death, his body had decayed to dust, but his tongue was found miraculously unspoiled and red in color. How appropriate for the great preacher who, full of the Spirit, couldn’t stop talking about God. on the opposite side of town is the glorious, renovated Scrovegni Chapel. it’s wallpapered with Giotto’s beautifully preserved cycle of nearly 40 frescoes depicting the lives of Jesus and Mary. Painted by Giotto and his assistants from 1303 to 1305 - and considered by many to be the first piece of “modern” art - this work makes it clear: europe was breaking out of the Middle ages.
