fire District bid farewell to 4 of its longtime members The four men combined for more than 100 years of service with the district

The Lisle-Woodridge Fire District celebrated the careers of Bureau Chief Jim French, Capt. Steve Jansen and Lt. Ed Crews Tuesday, as the three will retire after 26 years of service.

French, Jansen and Crews each joined the Lisle-Woodridge Fire District on the same day, Nov. 28, 1988. Colleagues joined the men and firefighter Jim Floback, who is retiring after 24 years, at the LisleWoodridge Fire Station #51 for their retirement send off.

The four men combined for more than 100 years of service with the district. French, 51, of Oswego, became the fire prevention bureau chief at the Lisle-Woodridge Fire District in 1999. French, who spent a third of his career on a fire apparatus, went into the division to become a

public educator. He said he has had so many good memories of working at the fire district that it is hard for him to name just one.

“It’s truly been an honor,” French added. The retiring bureau chief said the most rewarding aspect of his job is thinking of the people that he has impacted while working at the district. French received his master’s degree in management and organizational development in 2007.

Since the fire service is ever changing and there are always new challenges to overcome, French thought it was time for him to move on and work outside of fire service.

In addition to working for the fire district, French has also served as president and chairman of certifications for the Illinois Fire Inspectors Association, and he recently received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the organization. French also worked for the Office of the State Fire Marshal

as a liaison for certification through the state of Illinois.

After his retirement, French said he plans to test for other chief positions in other departments.

The Lisle-Woodridge Fire District has only had three fire prevention bureau chiefs since the district was created in 1944, and the position has been a full-time role since 1971.

The fire district is currently going

“Everyone’s a family; just taking care of each other ...” through a major transition, as budget requirements are forcing the district to streamline many of its processes, according to French. Inspector Chris Hull, who has worked with French for about eight years, will head up the fire prevention bureau in the interim, along with additional staff, until the fire district can name a permanent bureau chief replacement.

Jansen has been working at the Lisle-Woodridge Fire Station for the past 30 years, with four of those years coming as a paid-on-call firefighter. He has worked full time with the district for 26 years. Before taking the job, Jansen worked as a volunteer at the Clarendon Hills Fire Department.

Jansen said the best memories of his career come from the daily interactions he had with his colleagues and the effort he’s made to make a positive impact on the community.

Jansen added that working in this field is a young person’s job.

“It’s time to let some of the younger more able-bodied folk finish up what I started,” Jansen said, adding that he plans on retiring and relaxing at both his cabin and his home while his two daughters finish up their college education. “I won’t have to get up in the middle of the night for a call. I’ll get to sleep from now on.”

Jansen’s replacement will be Lt. Terry Madden, who Jansen said will be a great addition to the captain

Durkin, Rheintgen will remain on ballot Municipal Officers Electoral Board dismisses resident’s objections

By Christine M. DeMMa foR ThE buglE

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

Downers Grove Village Council commissioners Sean Patrick Durkin and Becky Rheintgen will remain on the ballot for the April 7 Consolidated General Election.

During a Dec. 9 hearing, the Municipal Officers Electoral Board found the objections by Downers Grove resident Mark Thoman to remove Durkin from the ballot invalid.

Thoman argued that the Illinois Election Code states nominating papers and statement of candidacies should be filled out with no errors.

ConsoliDateD General eleCtion

in duPage County, a General Primary Election is held Feb. 24 if needed prior to the Consolidated General Election on April 7.

A primary election is triggered if more than 12 persons file to run for commissioner.

In his paperwork, Durkin stated he was seeking an “unexpired four-year term,” compared with a full term.

The electoral board, which includes Downers Grove Mayor Martin Tully, commissioner Geoff Neustadt and Village Clerk April Holden, determined the error in no way misleads voters and voted to allow Durkin to seek reelection.

As for Rheintgen, whose

sean PatriCK DurKin doWnERS GRoVE CoMMiSSionER

BeCKy rheintGen doWnERS GRoVE CoMMiSSionER

hearing was postponed to Dec. 16 so she could retain an attorney, the board voted 3-0 to keep her name on the ballot.

During the hearing, Thoman said Rheintgen wrote in the wrong date of the election on her statement of candidacy.

Thoman argued that this was a fundamental and glaring error and could be confusing to the voter.

In DuPage County, a General Primary Election is held Feb. 24 if needed prior to the Consolidated

General Election on April 7.

A primary election is triggered if more than 12 persons file to run for commissioner.

Currently, only eight people have filed to run for three open seats on the council.

In addition to Durkin’s and Rheintgen’s seats being up for reelection, Neustadt’s decision to run for mayor will open up a third seat.

Holden said the village has not had a primary election in the past and does not consider the date on Rheintgen’s papers to be a fatal flaw.

Tully said that voters and those signing the candidate’s petition do not see the statement of candidacy, adding that no one saw the statement when they signed Rheintgen’s nominating papers.

Minor errors should not result in a candidate’s removal from the ballot, Tully added.

ranks at the Lisle-Woodridge Fire District. Crews, 52, has been working at the district for the past 26 years.

Crews said his best memories are working with his fellow firefighters.

Crews said he plans on pursuing different endeavors after ending his run at the district, which spanned almost three decade.

Crews is currently the northern district legislative representative for the Associated Fire Fighters of Illinois, the state’s firefighters union, and said he’ll continue with this work. He added that he also plans on helping veterans who are returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. Crews’ 33-year-old nephew passed away after completing his service, and Crews said he wants to do everything he can to help veterans who are returning home.

Floback said his best memories of working at the fire district are the people he has worked with.

“Everyone’s a family; just taking care of each other,” Floback said.

During his retirement, Floback said he would fish more and find part-time work.

Village approves Maple Avenue condo development Council also votes to eliminate Maple Avenue loading zone

By Christine M. Demma for the bugle

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

The Downers Grove Village Council passed a special use permit for a proposed 55unit condominium building on Maple Avenue despite more objections from the community.

With a vote of 5-2, with Mayor Martin Tully and commissioner David Olsen dissenting, the council approved the special use permit Tuesday night for the property at 942 and 936 Maple Avenue. Those commissioners in favor of the proposal felt the development meets the criteria of the special use guidelines, the village’s comprehensive plan and the zoning ordinance.

“No doubt this proposed project will change the face of Maple Avenue, nor does it look like anything else that is there,” commissioner Greg Hose said.

However, he said it does fit within 50 years of history for the zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan, adding that voting against the special use would unnecessarily place the village in legal jeopardy.

“The comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance, as written, do not provide us with the tools to deny the special use permit,” Hose said. “The subject property has been zoned commercial for 50 years, including downtown business since 2005.

“Throughout that history, multi-family has been an allowed special use,” he added.

Olsen dissented to the special use permit because he said it does not meet two of the three criteria outlined in the zoning ordinance. Specifically, he said the standards of this proposal have not proved

that the proposed use at the proposed location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a facility that is in the best interest of public convenience and will contribute to the general welfare of the neighborhood or community.

The council also passed an amendment proposed by commissioner Bob Barnett to eliminate the Maple Avenue loading zone. The amendment passed by a vote of 5-2 and would move the front of the building back as far as possible, ensuring all post-development deliveries are not made on Maple Avenue, as well as not allowing parking, loading or standing on Maple Avenue.

Lastly, the amendment would soften the look of the building by changing building materials, architectural features and design, according to Barnett.

Attorney David Sosin, who represents developer FFM-DG Development, said removing the loading zone would not be a problem.

This project was designed with loading and unloading, and turnaround capabilities before having a loading zone on the street, said Sosin.

Delivery trucks would be able to turnaround and pull out on to Maple Avenue.

“The building was designed with the expectation that we would take care of our business on our property,” he said.

As for moving the building back, setback is already the maximum 10 feet per the zoning ordinance, Sosin added.

Village Manager David Fieldman stated that the 10foot setback is measured from the new resulting lot line after the additional 3-foot right-ofway dedication, which was part of the revised plans presented to the council during its Dec. 9 meeting.

As for softening up the building, Sosin said the developer’s professionals would review and provide recommendations. Sosin said construction would begin in the spring.

The Westmont Fire Department announced open registration for the 2015 Spring Citizens Fire Academy.

The Citizens Fire Academy will meet Wednesday evenings from 6-9 p.m. for seven weeks from March 4 to April 15.

The Citizens Fire Academy program is designed to help citizens better understand the department’s firefighting and rescue operations, as well as the multitude of services it provides to the community. The

seven-week course is not designed to train future firefighters, but instead educate residents who are interested in gaining an insider’s view of the lives of professional firefighters and EMS personnel.

The course also provides fire safety training for the home and workplace. The department said participants will experience the world of emergency services through hands-on activities. The curriculum is divided into three areas: classroom participation,

hands-on practical training and live fireground activities. Every aspect of the program is voluntary, and participants can choose to observe instead of taking part in a particular exercise.

Participants must be at least 18 years old, of good standing within the community, and reside or work within the village of Westmont.

There is no fee to attend.

Mustangs

get 1st win Downers South tops Willowbrook

By MiKe sanDrolini SPoRTS REPoRTER

mike@buglenewspapers.com @Voyager_Sport

Downers South coach Kris Olson stated the obvious after the Mustangs defeated Willowbrook 57-54 last week: Getting victory No. 1 of the season is a nice feeling after opening the year with seven straight losses.

He sees the triumph as more of a reward for his players, who’ve put in the effort but had nothing to show for it in the “W” column until now.

“We’re a young team,” said Olson, who has just one returning starter, senior guard Mantas Augustinavicius, and starts two sophomores and a junior. “They worked so hard and they needed that.

“I’m not a big scoreboard guy. I’m a big ‘How have we been playing? Are we playing better and better?’ That’s what I look at. I’ve been in plenty of games where the score says you were successful and you played absolutely awful, and it’s been the other way around.

“The last couple of games we played really well.”

RetuRninG StARteR foR MuStAnGS

Olson’s two sophomores, guard Denis Alibegovic and 6-6 forward T.J. Clifford, figured prominently in the victory over Willowbrook.

Alibegovic, who left the game in the fourth quarter after crashing to the court while driving to the basket (his right hand had ice on it after the game), helped lift the Mustangs to an early 14-6 lead by sinking three 3-pointers. He had 11 points in the period.

Clifford totaled eight points and six rebounds. He snagged two of those rebounds down the stretch after Willowbrook super sophomore Alonzo Verge Jr. missed a three-point attempt and couldn’t get a layup to fall while driving inside. Had Verge, whose father was an all-state player at Proviso West in the 1980s, made the layup, Willowbrook would have led 56-55 with 4.1 seconds to go.

Instead, Clifford was fouled after grabbing the rebound. He then sank two free throws to provide Downers South with its margin of victory.

Redwings competing at Pontiac Tournament

By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

The 84th Annual Pontiac Holiday Tournament takes place Monday, Dec. 29 to Dec. 31.

The 16-team field is loaded once again this year as Curie looks to defend its title. It is a rare tournament where only two games are guaranteed as the losers of their first two games are sent home early.

“It’s just an incredible atmosphere,” Niles West coach Bob Williams said. “There’s local kids who come up to our players and ask them for their autograph.

There’s great interest; it’s the oldest tournament in the United States. And you have some of the best teams in the state. It has such tradition to it. It’s a class act all the way so we just love it.

“If you lose two you got home, and we did that last year so we

have to be better than that.”

St. Charles North (4-4) and Warren (4-5) will get the tournament started at 9 a.m. Dec. 29.

They are in the same pod as Plainfield North (7-0), the No. 3 seed, which opens play at 10:30 a.m. against Bloomington. The winners play at 1 p.m. Dec. 30, while the losers play at 9:30 a.m.

Last year Plainfield North defeated Lockport for the consolation title.

The next pod features what looks to be an exciting game between Benet (4-2) and Bloom (4-3) at 1 p.m. No. 2 Chicago Curie (4-1) and Danville play at 2:30 p.m. on the other side of the pod.

The winners will meet at 11 a.m. Dec. 30, while losers play at 8 a.m.

Eagle women win fifth straight game Men fall to nationally-ranked North Central The Benedictine University women’s basketball team recorded a fifth consecutive victory with a 69-61 decision at Concordia Chicago on Tuesday night.

Benedictine led for nearly the entire contest, taking an early 3-0 lead on the first possession of the contest when Meghan Novak drained a three. Novak knocked down another three-pointer with 14:40 remaining in the first to extend the lead to 12-4. Concordia Chicago battled to within two points with just over six minutes remaining, but Benedictine would extend the lead to double figures.

Nicole Botich opened a run of 8-0 with a layup at the 5:03 mark. Briana Hamilton capped a three-point play with 3:46 left to make the lead 33-22. The Eagles held a 37-28 advantage at the half, shooting 46.9 percent while scoring nine points on second chance opportunities.

The hosts quickly bounced back in the second, pulling within 40-37 with 15:43 to play in the game. Three points from DeKayla Crayton were part of a five-point spurt that again made the lead eight points at 45-37. Concordia Chicago was able to chip away and even the game at 49 with 9:06 remaining. The hosts led for a short stretch after scoring six straight, holding a 55-52 edge with 5:50 left.

Benedictine promptly scored 11 straight to retake control of the contest. Shannon Ryan turned the tables with a three, putting Benedictine ahead 54-52. The lead would reach eight before a late surge brought Concordia Chicago within 62-61, but Benedictine recorded a jumper from Michelle Batty and five free throws from Novak to squeeze out the win.

mustangs | from page 11 capabilities,” Clifford said, “so I felt I needed to step up and that’s what I did.”

Verge, a 6-3 guard, finished with a game-high 21 points. He’s been playing on an injured right ankle and missed all of the third quarter because of it.

“He is good,” Olson said.

“Khamari (Greene) did a good

Benedictine held a commanding 47-30 edge on the glass. Botich tallied another double-double, her third of the year, with 19 points and 11 boards. Novak also scored 19. Crayton scored 13 off the bench. The five game win streak is the longest for Benedictine since a five-game streak in 2007-08 and is the second longest streak in the school’s tenure in the NACC.

MEN’S HOOPS The Benedictine University men’s basketball team could not complete the comeback in falling to nationally ranked North Central 65-64 in the final game before the Christmas holiday.

North Central, ranked 21st in the D3hoops.com Top 25, built an early seven-point lead. The Cardinal led by nine points at 19-10 with 11:55 remaining in the opening half. Benedictine scored six consecutive points to pull within 19-16 past the midpoint of the half. Down 25-19, the Eagles tallied six straight to even the score. Tahron Harvey tied the game with a jumper. North Central responded with seven straight and held a 35-29 lead at the break. North Central hit over 60 percent of shot attempts in the first half.

Tim McGinty scored on a layup with 17:02 left in the contest, bringing Benedictine within 4036. North Central stretched the advantage to 10 points, leading 50-40 with 14:43 to play. Harvey hit a jumper as part of a 15-4 run which put Benedictine in front.

Shawn Soelter drained a threepointer with 7:47 remaining to cap the run and hand the hosts a 55-54 lead. The contest was nip and tuck the rest of the way. North Central led 63-59 with just 1:30 left.

Kevin Rollins finished a threepoint play with 1:10 remaining to bring Benedictine within 63-62.

Following a turnover in the final minute, Adam Reynolds knocked down a pair of free throws with 19.1 to play, handing Benedictine a momentary 64-63 lead. North Central countered, hitting the

go ahead shot with 8.3 left. John Dodson had a good look on a runner in the lane at the buzzer, but the shot did not fall and North Central hung on.

Benedictine hit only three shots from long distance in the contest on 19 attempts but did hold a 3329 lead on the glass. The Eagles

notched 21 points off turnovers.

Harvey and Michael Blaszczyk each finished with 12 points to pace Benedictine.

Benedictine (5-4) is off until after Christmas when the team travels to Puerto Rico for a pair of non-conference games on December 28 and 29.

job (defensively) in the final two minutes. Kamari made him work for the ball and it helped us out.”

Alibegovic, who scored a teamleading 19 points before leaving the game, nailed a jumper from near the top of the key that put the Mustangs in front, 42-40, at the end of the third quarter. A drive down the lane by Augustinavicius (10 points) made it 44-40 early in the final period, but the Warriors

(4-4, 1-3) outscored DGS 10-1 to gain a 50-45 advantage.

At that point, Augustinavicius said he tried to encourage his young teammates to not let up.

“I just kept getting them together,” he said. “I said, ‘Keep staying together. We’ve got to grind it out and stay together as a team.’ ” The Warriors momentarily maintained a five-point cushion,

52-47, but DGS then went on a 6-0 run, capped by two Greene free throws with 1:33 left, to take the lead for good at 53-52.

“It definitely feels really good,” Augustinavicius said. “When you go through so many games to get the first win it definitely feels that much sweeter.”

“It’s been tough,” Clifford added. “Guys’ spirits have been low, but we’ve got to keep going,

trusting Coach and come together as a team. That last five minutes was definitely a team effort.”

The Mustangs (1-7, 1-2) won’t be back on their home court until after the first of the year.

They had a West Suburban Gold game at Hinsdale South on Dec. 19 and visited non-conference foe West Aurora the next night.

DGS begins play in the Jack Tosh Holiday Classic at York Friday.

The final pod features top seed Simeon (3-0), last year’s runnerup, against Pontiac at 7:30 p.m. and Joliet West (5-2) and Niles West (4-4) in a battle of Bugle teams, at 9 p.m. Winners play at 7:30 p.m. the following day, while the losers play at 6 p.m.

trojans | from page 12 Glenbard South (2-4). A loss puts them at the 9 a.m. slot against the loser of the Oak Forest-GBS game.

“We are steadily improving,” JCA coach Joe Gura said. “The Romeoville Tournament is where we hope to take the next step.”

The host Spartans (2-4) play at 8 p.m. to open their play against Lincoln-Way West (5-0). A win sets them up at 8 p.m. Dec. 27, while a loss puts them at the noon game.

They will face either Lemont (6-2) or Chicago Christian (3-5).

“We are looking forward to good competition,” Romeoville coach Marc Howard said. “We would like to have a strong showing and put a few wins together. Our primary focus is to use the RHS Christmas Classic as a confidence booster going into the second half of the season.”

Downers North (3-4) begins play at 3:30 p.m. against Argo (08). A win puts the Trojans at the 6:30 p.m. game Dec. 27, while a loss has them playing at 1:30.

They will play either Lincoln-Way East or Plainfield Central.

“There’s two sections; a big school and small school section,” Downers North coach Jim Thomas said. “The way the Addison Tournament (last year) was scheduled was a little bit different than a traditional Christmas tournament so we just wanted

“We open up with Niles West.

They are a very well coached team,” Joliet West coach Nick DiForti said. “The winner, most likely, will play Simeon. Our kids are playing as well as we can at this point. Our goal is to win at least two games at Pontiac… which would be a major accomplishment considering it is the most challenging tournament out there. This would give us a nice litmus test and preparation for the rest of conference play.”

The championship game is scheduled for 9 p.m. Dec. 30, with the third-place game at 7 p.m.

The consolation title is slated for 4 p.m.

to get back into a (traditional) Christmas tournament. There are some (tournaments) in our back yard that have a lot of our conference teams in it but we wanted to go and kind of experience some different teams and seem some different styles of play, and hopefully it’ll help us down the road.”

Plainfield Central (2-6) plays the Griffins (2-3) at 6:30 p.m. the opening night and play either at 6:30 or 1:30 p.m. the following day against the Trojans or Argo.

The Wildcats have found success in the tournament, finishing second twice and winning the consolation title last year.

“The Romeoville Christmas Classic has always been, and continues to be a tournament where everyone in it has a great opportunity to win it, including us,” Plainfield Central coach Steve Lamberti said. “We, like everyone else, plan on competing and putting ourselves in position to win as many games as possible.

This is a great time of year as we take a break from school so athletes can put their sole focus on basketball.”

The final day of the tournament is Dec. 30. The championship game is scheduled for 8 p.m. The third-place game is at 6:30 p.m. and the consolation title is at 5 p.m.

Dave Says

Teaching a lesson to a very young, unlikely thief An incredible example of a teachable moment By dave ramsey dave says

www.daveramsey.com @DaveRamsey

Dear Dave, I gave my wife $350 for Christmas shopping at Wal-Mart. While she was there with our six-year-old daughter, she cashed her bonus check to put with the Christmas money. When she tried to check out, the money was gone. My wife even asked our daughter if she took the money out of mommy’s purse, and she said no. Later, we found the money in our daughter’s coat, and she didn’t seem sorry at all for having taken it. How should we address this?
