Woodridge police department and public works SUPER plunge team took a noon dive at Evanston’s North Beach to raise money for Special Olympics.

Kacey Lazzarotto has spent 17 years working in early childhood education.

The District 58 preschool programing director said she has seen funding for statewide early childhood programs drop from a 2008 high-water mark of $380 million to about $300 million in 2013. The amount of state money District 58 received for early childhood education dropped from $169,000 to $110,000 in that time, and Lazzarotto said the preschool program is struggling to keep up.

“I have a wait list right now of 36 students that I cannot invite to participate in our program, and it breaks my heart,” she said during Friday morning’s Legislative Breakfast at O’Neill Middle School in Downers Grove.

Documentary to raise awareness of childhood bereavement Tivoli Theater will screen upcoming HBO documentary on Moyer Foundation’s Camp Erin

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

The death of close friend or relative can be extremely difficult, and children are particularly vulnerable to the grief associated with losing a loved one.

Since 2002, the Moyer Foundation’s Camp Erin has been a place where children who are struggling with bereavement can go to learn the tools necessary to help them move through the grieving process. The weekendlong camp has been established in 43 cities across the country and brings children ages 6 to 17 together to work with licensed counselors in a summer camp setting.

A new HBO documentary,“One Last Hug,” will take viewers inside Camp Erin and explore the realities of childhood bereavement.

Downers Grove’s Tivoli Theater will host an advanced private screening of the documentary on Feb. 27.

“New York Life is proud to be involved with this film, which provides a national stage to the topic of bereaved children,” says Robert Hodgkiss, managing partner of NewYork Life’s Chicago office.

The New York Life Foundation, the charitable arm of the national insurance company, has been a supporter of the Moyer Foundation for several years and is hosting six advanced screenings of “One

More than 12,600 children have attended the Camp Erin program since it began in 2002.

Last Hug” throughout the country before its April 14 premier.

“We hope the screening of the documentary and its airing on HBO in April introduces this important topic to the community and that society at large realizes they can take an active role helping

kids regain some equilibrium,” Hodgkiss adds.

Major League pitcher Jamie Moyer and his wife Karen started their foundation in 2000 to help children in distress. In addition to Camp Erin, the Moyer Foundation created and funds Camp Mariposa,

which helps children affected by addiction.

Camp Erin is named after Erin Metcalf, who met the Moyers in 1998 through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Metcalf, who was 15 at the time, was diagnosed with liver cancer the previous year and visited the Seattle Mariners spring training as part of her wish.

“Erin was someone who Jamie and Karen developed a very special relationship with,” says Karen Gallagher, spokeswoman for The Moyer Foundation. “She was always so positive and incredibly giving, and always worried about other people.”

After Metcalf passed away in 2000, the Moyer’s decided to honor her memory by naming the Camp Erin in her honor. >> see erin | page 3

Downers Grove

Public Library announces Village modifies snow successful renovation bids Multiple firms competed in all 10 construction specialty areas The Downers Grove Public Library successfully opened a second round of sealed competitive bids on its renovation project on Feb. 21.

Multiple firms competed in all 10 construction specialty

areas.

The construction budget estimate, compiled by Construction Management firm Shales McNutt, was $1,714,477.

The combined total of the 10 apparent low bids was $1,711,172, a margin of 0.2 percent.

Shales McNutt will immediately review the apparent low bids to confirm that they are complete and accurate. They expect to

complete this process and report their work to the Downers Grove Public Library Board of Trustees on Wednesday, March 5. They will follow this report with recommendations on the awarding of contracts in time for the Board’s regular monthly meeting on March 26.

Construction is expected to begin in mid-April, with project completion scheduled for midSeptember.

Park District seeks feedback on new grant New state program will cover 75 percent of ‘brick and mortar’ project expenses The Westmont Park District has published a community survey seeking feedback regarding a potential new facility at Ty Warner Park.

“We have an incredible opportunity before us,” Park District assistant director Bob Fleck said. “Gov. Quinn has announced a grant program that will pay 75 percent of the expenses for new ‘brick and mortar’ projects that cost up to $2.5 million.”

Fleck added that when the Park District originally designed

Ty Warner Park, it had planned to construct a multi-purpose recreation center. The recreation center had to be cut due to expenses, but he said the park district now has an opportunity to go back and build the recreation center.

The link to the online survey can be found at www.wpdsurvey. org. The eight-question survey is mostly multiple choice and can be completed in a few minutes.

“We want to gauge public opinion regarding the potential value of this type of facility on

loss of a family member before finishing high school.

“Our society in general tends to not focus on what children are going through in terms of losing a loved one and tends to sweep that sort of thing under the rug,” she says, adding that these children are more at risk of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.

The goal of the camp, she says, is to help children learn how to cope with their grief.This process begins with introducing campers to the group setting with various activities to help break the ice.

Various camp activities such as art therapy and nature walks, helps children move through the grieving process. On Saturday evenings, campers memorialize their loved ones by lighting luminaries.

Bereavement Since it was formed, the Camp Erin program has helped more than 12,600 children.As the largest network of free bereavement camps in the country, Camp Erin serves 2,500 children and teens annually at its 43 locations.

Gallagher says programs like Camp Erin are crucial because of the large number of children who experience the loss of a loved one in the early part of their lives.The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that 1.5 million children in the country are grieving the direct loss of a parent, which does not include the loss of a parental figure. Gallagher also points to research that suggests approximately 90 percent of students will experience the

the north side of our community,” Fleck said.

Some of the potential uses might include early childhood programs and classes, visual arts, musical arts, dance, fitness, personal training, senior programming, community theater and cooking classes. The facility may also be rented out for meetings, special events, receptions and banquets.

The survey will be online through Tuesday, March 4. Results will be included in the grant application sent to the State of Illinois for consideration. If you have any questions regarding the survey or the proposed rec center, contact Fleck at rfleck@ westmontparks.org or 630-9698080.

“Some of them didn’t get to say good bye,” Gallagher says. “Some of their parents died by homicide or in a tragic accident, and so that’s one of their opportunities to really say goodbye to their parents and have support.”

The documentary was shot in 2012 and follows campers through the weekend, exploring their loss and how they were affected by their time at Camp Erin.

“We’re hoping that the documentary is going to shed light on this topic,” Gallagher says.

“One Last Hug” will premier in April on HBO. For more information on Camp Erin and to learn about enrolling in an upcoming camp, visit www. moyerfoundation.org/programs/ camperin.aspx.

operations due to limited salt supply Public works will be applying salt only in targeted areas where it is most needed The village of Downers Grove announced Friday that it has modified its snow and ice control operations due to a regional salt shortage.

The public works department will be applying salt only in targeted areas where it is most needed.

An emergency supply of salt is maintained for use and application in the most extreme conditions, and the village said it will continue to closely monitor the situation and work

with its supplier to replenish the salt supply.

In the meantime, salt mixed with some sand will be being applied to all Priority 1 roads (roads with the highest traffic volume including roads near schools and those leading to Good Samaritan Hospital), hills, curves and intersections.

Downtown parking lots/ sidewalks and train station platforms will continue to be cleared and salted, but neighborhood roads may be snow packed.

Downers Grove staff is urging residents to drive slowly, use caution and leave extra space between vehicles when driving in winter conditions.

Westmont

Fire Department presents lifesaving, employee of the year awards Several firefighters honored during Feb. 20 Westmont Village Board meeting The Westmont Fire Department honored several of its firefighters and paramedics during the Feb.20 Westmont Village Board meeting.

“We have an excellent team of professionals working for the Fire Department,” Fire Chief David Weiss said.“It’s my privilege to be able to recognize them for their dedication and service.”

Weiss and EMS Coordinator Lynn Dralle presented lifesaving awards to five fire department personnel for their role in

providing advance life support care for a resident who had reported chest pains before becoming unresponsive and pulseless. Despite being in very serious condition, the resident has since fully recovered.

Weiss said that if not for the swift, expert action of these individuals, the Fire Department Awards Committee felt that the patient would not have survived.

Lt. John Barnacle, FM Eric Klass, FM Darrell Parrish, FM Chris

Gerlich and FM Kathy Furgala each received the award for their role in the incident.

The fire department also presented its annual Employee of the Year Award to Kevin O’Hare.

O’Hare was cited for a positive attitude and an excellent work ethic.

“We have a great group of men and women at the fire department,” Weiss said. “Kevin was selected from a pool of many deserving candidates. I want to personally congratulate him on this award and let everyone know that he will represent our Department well.”

>> plunge, from page 1 Each participant was asked to raise at least $2,500 in donations for Special Olympics Illinois, with a $150,000 overall goal.

Daniel McIntyre, an eight-year Woodridge Police Department officer and third-year SUPER plunger, said his team raised nearly $21,000 this year.

McIntyre and deputy police chief Tom Stefanson, a second-year SUPER plunger, said Woodridge participation is important and exciting.

“Once you [plunge] once, you do it forever,” McIntyre said.

“When people see that we’re crazy enough to jump into Lake Michigan 24 times over 24 hours, it brings that awareness to Special Olympics; that’s why we continue to do it.”

Stefanson added that Woodridge cracked the top 10 list for fundraising efforts by police departments in the state and that the SUPER plungers raised $25,000 in 2013.

“We’re already knocking on the door of what we made last year,” he said.

McIntyre said he and his team dipped waist down in the water and sometimes dunked completely, depending on the time and how cold it got outside.

The plunger teams ate snacks and monitored their fundraising goals inside a warming tent in between plunging at the top of the hour.

Mary Pocuis said she is one of the original SUPER plungers from when the event first kicked-off in 2005. She also has been involved with the Law Enforcement Torch Run for 27 years, helping to coordinate its outreach efforts

and awareness. By noon Saturday, she said the SUPER plungers had raised $167,000. Pocuis said that feat is centered around athlete participation and finding joy, despite a little fatigue.

“That’s motivation to have the athletes that you serve in the tent with you, and interact with them,” she said. “That’s the reason why we do what we do.”

Pocuis said there are no goal limits or boundaries she and other SUPER plungers plan to reach, but they are focused on raising money and increasing public awareness for the athletes of Special Olympics. The SUPER plunge is a fundraising project intertwined with the Law Enforcement Torch Run, which is the single largest fundraising vehicle benefiting Special Olympics Illinois.

Chris Bethel, director of public works with the village of Woodridge, said this is his first year as a SUPER plunger. He called the event a unique way to capture public attention and

spread awareness. On Saturday, Bethel’s 10-year-old daughter plunged in the icy lake four times and said being a SUPER plunger is fun and for a good cause.

Another 10-year-old, Ian Woloski, took part in the single plunge event under a group he started on his own to raise awareness for his four-year-old sister that has Down syndrome.

He named is group the Blizzard Wizards.

The Polar Plunge provides funding for year-round sports training and competition opportunities for the nearly 21,500 athletes with intellectual disabilities and more than 18,500 young athletes ages 2 to 7 with and without intellectual disabilities in Illinois. This year, there will be 20 more plunges statewide and the SUPER plungers will also help directly support the Special Olympics athletes who compete in more than 180 sporting events throughout the year free of charge.

News >> breakfast, from page 1 related to education during the annual event. For nearly 20 years, the district has hosted the legislative breakfast as a way to bring legislators and community members together to discuss education concerns.

U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton; state Sen. Christine Radogno, R-Lemont; and state reps. Patti Bellock, R-Hinsdale, and Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, attended Friday’s breakfast.

And, while they each represent different branches of state and federal government,each stressed the importance of overall fiscal responsibility as a necessary step in improving education and education funding.

Radogno responded to Lazzarotto’s question by saying the $380 million spent in 2008 was too high and unsustainable.

“Unfortunately, when the funding was really high, the way that happened was by stealing money from other places or not funding the pensions,” she said.

Although she agreed that early childhood education is a good policy, Radogno said

government has only so much money to spend. She cautioned against taxing Illinois residents to increase revenues, as it could worsen the rate at which families and businesses are already leaving the state.

Roskam agreed with Radogno, saying neighboring states are attracting those families and Early childhood education is one of the best investments we can make as a country.

“We can have an economy

that is growing, and we’re not grubbing around trying to play this zero-sum game, pitting one group against another for a shrinking pie,” Roskam said.

Part of the reason education spending has taken a backseat, according to Friday’s speakers, is because large portions of the budget are committed to Medicaid and pension payments.

Citing numbers from the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability, Bellock said Illinois spends roughly $15 billion on Medicaid and $7 billion on pensions.

“Those are fixed costs, and they have to be paid,” she said.

In addition to education, Sandack said that money for human services and infrastructure have been cut as a result of Medicaid and pension spending. He said that reforming the state’s economy is the only way to responsibly increase the amount of money available to schools.

“If we do that, we can get education funding where it should be, at the top of the list, and not continually pinched for Medicaid, pensions and those

U.S. Rep Bill Foster, D-Naperville, was invited to the Legislative Breakfast, but could not attend. Afterward, he said he is a strong advocate of early childhood education and spending.

Students to receive free cardiac screenings Estimated sudden cardiac death claims lives of more than 60 young adults each week Over 5,000 students at North High and South High have the opportunity to receive complimentary ECG (electrocardiogram) screenings from the Young Hearts for Life (YH4L) program. Medical staff and trained volunteers will provide the testing on March 7 at North High and April 10 and 11 at South High to those students whose parents grant permission.

Through the generous support from Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital, the District 99 Education Foundation and The Ken Holland Memorial Fund, the screenings will be provided to all students free of charge.

It is estimated that each week, sudden cardiac death claims the lives of more than 60 young adults in the U.S. The leading

cause of sudden cardiac death in young adults is triggered by a hidden heart defect, which the ECG is intended to detect. In fact, it’s predicted that one-third of deaths may have been prevented through an ECG. The simple and painless test can detect about 60 percent of the abnormalities associated with sudden cardiac death that a stethoscope cannot detect.

Dr. Joseph Marek, a cardiologist who practices at Advocate Good

Samaritan Hospital and who is the Medical Director for YH4L, advises that students of all levels of physical activity be tested— and also be tested whether or not they participate in a sport.

“Heart conditions that might not be apparent at one point might develop later, so it’s important that kids have a screening every two years,” said Marek.

International recommendations are to repeat the ECG every other year through age 25.

If the ECG results show that a further evaluation is needed, students are referred to their family physician.

The program relies on support from volunteers. For information about the volunteer schedule at North High, visit http:// nor th.csd99.org/activities/ young-hearts-for-life.

Horoscopes Unsolicited advice is sometimes as unwelcome as unsolicited criticism. You have very good intentions and may be enthusiastic about helping others in the week to come. Remain sensitive, as some people must make their own decisions.

Age before beauty.

Learn something valuable in the week to come from those who are older and wiser.

Educational opportunities should be embraced with open arms. Remain sensitive to subtle undercurrents within the family.

One for all and all for one. Your happiness depends on the happiness of everyone this week. When you participate in a group effort, whether at home or at work, consider which actions will be in the best interests of everyone.

When opportunity knocks, be sure to answer with a smile.

You could be rewarded in material ways or with recognition in the week ahead. Or you can create your own rewarding circumstances by starting something significant.

Eat the energy bar and you’ll go far. Get prepared to make your mark in the week ahead. You may find valuable advice or the answer to your prayers. If you can’t move forward with a pet project, then it wasn’t meant to be.

Strike a balance. You may be challenged to spend your money wisely this week. One part of your psyche wants to add to a nest egg for the future and the other side wants to fritter away pocket cash on transitory delights.

Right now, you might prefer your own company. Managing your time and home could be a priority. By the end of the week, however, you may be anxious to have someone by your side, even while tackling the most mundane jobs.

Pursue the future with fleet feet. The second half of the week could be an ideal time to develop sound plans for the future. You might consider adopting some new habits that boost your health and well-being.

Good Samaritans are celebrated. Practice putting others’ interests ahead of your own in the week to come. Since others respect your judgment and leadership abilities, you might receive a public pat on the back.

Take pride in discretion, not secrecy. If you are going to let the cat out of the bag, it’s only fair to be kind to the cat. In the week ahead, your desire for personal privacy may be at odds with your need to be straightforward.

Explore your options, not just opinions. You may meet several people this week who introduce you to new ideas and progressive techniques. This is a good time to test a relationship without making a firm commitment.

Your love life may be an exercise in excitement during the week ahead. You may attract new people who are fascinated by your open-minded views and “anything goes” attitude. Your intuitions are 80 percent trustworthy.

Downers South’s Hobbs places fifth in state at 285

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Downers Grove South’s Michael Hobbs is not your typical heavyweight wrestler.

The senior weighs in at more than 40 pounds less than the allotted 285-pound cap for the class, but says he uses that to his advantage in his matches.

“I have some pretty good conditioning, better than most of these guys,” Hobbs said. “It helps me out because I can use my quickness to get around them when they get tired.”

Hobbs, who weighed in for the state meet at 246.2 pounds, used every bit of his conditioning and speed advantage in the wrestleback quarterfinals – the match that determines if he would earn a state medal or go home empty handed.

Hobbs (38-6) was losing 3-2 with less than 30 seconds left in the match. After a quick glance at the clock, he knew what he needed to do.

“I had to take a shot,” he said.

“I couldn’t wait anymore. I was trying to tire him out. I wrestled him in sectionals and I knew he would get tired in the third period. Most of these guys I wrestle, if I keep moving, they are tired in the third period and that is when I take my shots.”

He took his shot and got the takedown in the closing seconds to defeat Mantas Drukteinis of Schaumburg.

Hobbs then fell in the wrestleback semifinals to Lincoln-Way East’s Nick Allegretti 8-0, placing him in the fifth-place match.

In that match, he ended his high school career with a win, defeating Bryan Ditchman 3-1 to place fifth in state.

“I try not to think about how much weight I gave up,” Hobbs said.“I think about where I came

from. I only became a varsity wrestler two years ago and now I am a state medalist. It is pretty crazy.”

Hobbs had opened the met with a 4-2 win over Kyrin Tucker of Normal Community West before falling to Libertyville’s Chris McDermand 5-3 in the overtime tie breaker. In the wrestlebacks, Hobbs pinned Schaumburg’s Matt Zolper in the first round before beating Drukteinis in the quarterfinals.

•Downers Grove North also had a pair of wrestlers in the

wrestleback quarterfinals, one match away from a guaranteed state medal, however, both fell one match shy.

Sophomore PatrickWalker (405) lost 7-1 to Jimmy McAuliffe of Marist. Walker opened the tournament with a 3-1 win over Joliet West’s Darvell Flagg, but was eliminated by state finalist Jason Renteria of Oak Park-River Forest 8-1. He bounced back in the wrestlebacks with a 6-4 win over McHenry’s Ian Mullen before being eliminated.

Fellow Trojan Nick Bonomo,

a senior, dropped his opening match 16-6 to Bryce Gorman of Lincoln-Way Central. He then defeated Tyler Harrington of Stevenson 9-4 in the wrestlebacks before falling 14-8 to Nick Feraro of Marmion Academy.

Downers Grove South junior Joseph Nugent (30-5) fell in the opening round 9-0 to Dan Radcliffe of Lockport.

When Radcliffe fell lost in the quarterfinals, Nugent was eliminated from competition.

South junior Shawn Jager (36-

11) fell in the opening round at 160 via pinfall in 1:20 to Warren’s Emery Parker. In the wrestlebacks, Jager lost by a 13-4 major decision to Maine South’s Tom Brewster.

Freshman helps Benet take regional crown

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Freshman Katie Jaseckas was surprised she got into Benet Academy’s West Aurora Regional title matchup with Naperville North at all last Friday night, let alone the fact that she ended up being a major contributor to the Redwings’ 57-46 victory.

The 5-foot-11 Jaseckas, whom Benet called up from the sophomore team to join the varsity squad for the postseason, scored eight points and corralled eight rebounds.

“I was really nervous on the bench,” she said.“I didn’t expect to go in because I’m a freshman.

Coach (Peter) Paul came up to me and I was really nervous. All of the girls were cheering for me and it got me really pumped.

Once I got in there, I started to calm down and got a little excited.”

Jaseckas scored half of her

points in one sequence toward the end of the third quarter, and her heads-up play couldn’t have come at a better time.

The Redwings, who fell behind 26-24 at halftime, took a 30-29 third-quarter lead on Emily Schramek’s basket inside, and upped it to 31-29 on a free throw from Jenna Martin. But Benet went into a scoring drought the remainder of the quarter and trailed 3631 following a hoop from the Huskies’ Kayla Sharples (gamehigh 19 points) with less than a minute remaining.

However, Jaseckas was fouled after her putback basket made it 36-33. She then missed the free throw attempt for a three-point play, but grabbed the rebound and put it in, enabling Benet to cut the Huskies’ lead to 36-35 by the end of the period.

McCalebb advances to final day of state

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

ROCKFORD - Downers Grove South junior Audrey McCalebb preformed well at the state meet last weekend at Cherry Bowl.

McCalebb was one of the 30 individuals to qualify for the final round Saturday, where she placed 56th overall with a 2,374 12-game total, a 197.8 average.

Her second day included games of 192, 242, 211, 176, 194

She was in 47th after the first day, shooting a 1,196 in six games with games of 200, 243, 234, 139, 213, 167.

Trojan girls win first regional since 1996

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Downers North was crowned champions of the West Suburban Silver a couple of weeks back, and now the Trojans are making room in the trophy case for some new hardware: a plaque for winning the Class 4A York Regional.

The Trojans trailed their conference rival, York, through three quarters last Friday night, but got rolling in the final quarter to pull out a 41-38 victory.

The regional crown is the first since 1996 for Downers North, which took a 25-3 record into its semifinal game at the Addison Trail Sectional versus Batavia Tuesday night.

Sarah Costello put the Trojans on her back, dropping in a gamehigh 28 points and snagging 18 rebounds. Included in that point total was her 1,000th career point.

“She refused to lose,” said coach Stephan Bolt of the senior, who went 13 of 14 from the free throw line. “She did pretty much what she needed to do to find a way to win. She was stellar. The entire game she just had that look that she wasn’t going to let us lose. She took the game over.”

The Trojans, who trailed 13-5 after the first quarter, 20-14 at intermission and 27-24 after three periods, turned the tables on York during the deciding fourth quarter.

Downers North went up by six points with under four minutes to go on a three-pointer from Jaida Green, and then weathered the storm as York cut the lead to two in the closing minutes.

York went for the tie after DGN missed a layup with around 40 seconds to go. York milked the clock, but ended up missing a baseline jumper with under 16 seconds left. Peyton Winters grabbed the rebound, was fouled and hit one of two free throws to ice the victory.

“They’re a tough team,” Bolt said. “It’s the third time we’ve played them.We know a lot about each other and they had a good game plan against us.”

Lauren Porcelli had eight rebounds for the Trojans, who’ve won nine straight.

“Our kids are so dedicated and care so much for one another and don’t want to let each other down,” Bolt said. “They come together and look out for each >> see TROJAN | page 15

She hopes the momentum will carry over to next year.

“It gives me the advantage next year and I will bowl better,” McCalebb said. “I know how it feels to go to state for once since I didn’t make it freshman or sophomore year It will motivate

me to keep bowling better.”

McCalebb also helps it can help the team in its quest to make it to state.

“I can motivate everyone else to get to state,” she said. “During the entire season I didn’t think I could make it this far. But then I did.”

Going to state was a big deal

for the program and the school as it was the first time the Mustangs had a state qualifier since 2008 with junior Katie Jones advanced to state, but didn’t make finals with a 1,036.

“Most people don’t see bowling as a sport and then they hear you are going to state and that is a big thing,” McCalebb

said. “Everyone was excited for me. They all made posters and everything. It helped give me confidence.”

Doyle then sank six free throws during the final 2:03.

“We knew that we didn’t want our season to end tonight,” Doyle said. “We kept saying, ‘We’re practicing tomorrow (Saturday); we’re going to practice tomorrow.’ I feel like adrenaline kicked in and we

just knew we had to strap it on and get a stop after stop. It was really fun.”

The fun continued, as well, for Paul, who’s retiring after this, his 29th and final year at the helm. Last Friday’s regional crown was Benet’s fifth in the past six years.

Asked if he’s thought about this postseason being his last, Paul said,“No, I really haven’t.”

“I told them that I want to practice tomorrow and that’s all I said to them,” said Paul, who also posted his 600th career victory this season. “I think in general I always tease,

and the string (of regional championships) was broken last year. (Benet lost to Naperville Central last February, snapping a streak of four straight regional titles.) But once they’re a Mom and their kids are at Benet, they can point up and say, ‘I helped win that one.’ ” “We want to do it for him,” Doyle said. “Obviously we want to do it for our team, but especially for Mr. Paul because he’s such a special coach. After the game you could see how emotional he was because he was so proud of us, and we’re so proud of him.”

The Redwings (21-9), who also got eight points from Emily Eshoo last Friday, clashed with top seeded Neuqua Valley in the semifinals of the Joliet Sectional Monday night. Neuqua Valley (26-5) toppled Oswego East, 6337, to win the Plainfield South Regional.

Batavia, the No. 3 seed, is similar to DGN in this respect: The Bulldogs haven’t been to a sectional tourney in quite

some time, either—1990 to be exact. The Bulldogs (20-9) won the championship of their own regional, 63-42, over Willowbrook last Friday.

The Trojans experienced a tougher than expected game in the regional semifinals against 17th-seeded Glenbard North, but they notched a 39-33 victory.

Green topped DGN with 19 points and eight rebounds, while Costello had seven points and 12 boards.

Bolingbrook’s string of regional titles comes to an end

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

With a 47-43 loss to Metea Valley in the Romeoville Regional finals, the Bolingbrook girls basketball team ended the season without a regional title for the first time since the 200001 season.

However, for first-year coach Chris Smith, the loss can be used as a teaching tool to grow the program back to the power it was a few years ago.

“I hate to lose and hate to see the season come to an end like this, but it is something to build off and set the tone and move on from this,” Smith said.

“This is a way to grow. We have to look at it as an opportunity and we have to take it and learn from it.”

After the defection of four seniors from last year’s squad, the Raiders had only four players who were on the varsity roster last season and only one, senior Aysia Bugg, who was a key contributor.

“This team had four players returning with varsity experience and of those three, only one actually played a ton of minutes last year,” Smith said. “That lack of experience, the lack of being that big time playoff experienced team that has been there before really showed tonight.”

The Raiders had their chances, many in the lane, and could not connect.

“That has been the story of the season, it has been up and down,” Smith said. “We come off a great game (a 6932 win over Plainfield Central in the regional semifinal) and then tonight we can’t throw a beach ball in the ocean.

The defense created turnover opportunities, yeah we missed assignments here and there, but overall from a defensive standpoint, I wasn’t overly upset. When you have that many shots within five feet of the basket and we had to shoot

about 20 percent from within five feet, you won’t beat a girl scout team that way, let alone a high school team.”

Metea Valley held a 42-38 with 2:45 to play, but the Raiders came back despite the poor shooting and tied the game with 56 seconds left on a Bugg three-pointer.

Bolingbrook rallied to tie it 43-43 on a three-pointer by Bugg with 56 seconds left.

“Right after that, we commit a foul at half court with 40 seconds left and they are in the bonus.

There is no need for that,” Smith said. “That is understanding the game situation and being a student of the game.”

Bugg paced the Raiders (187) with 13 points, while Amina Green had 10. Metea Valley’s Jenny Voytell led all scorers with 20 points.

Smith said all of the Raiders need to concentrate on being a student of the game, even those heading off to college.

“The seniors, before they can go on and play at the next level, they still have a lot of growing as a player,” he said.“The juniors have to understand the same thing. They need to put in individual time to get better.

The biggest thing is becoming a student of the game. I told them (after the game) that I think we watch basketball a lot, but I don’t really believe they understand what they are watching. They have to try and understand why things are being done, why movements are being made and be able to read certain situations. We watch, but don’t truly understand the game.”

Smith said the first season with a new system, new coaches and new players was trying for all parties involved, but he feels the eight returning juniors can take their experience and grow.

“It was tough from a standpoint of trying to take 14 different personalities and try and mold them together,” Smith said. “We had some issues as far

dave says

Should I invest now or pay off past debt?

The more mailing lists you get on, the more your mailbox will fill up with junk mail Dear Dave, I went to medical school, and now I have $70,000 in debt. I just started a three-year residency making about $50,000 a year, while my wife makes $40,000.

The student loans represent our only debt.

Do you think we should be paying this off or investing in a Roth IRA? David Dear David, If I were in your shoes, I’d work on paying down the student loans. That means you may never be in a Roth, but there are other things you can invest in and grow wealth.

I realize this may not seem right mathematically, but I don’t always make financial decisions based exclusively on math. Many times I do things based on changing

money behaviors— stuff like paying off debts from smallest to largest because it actually works.

Personal finance is 80 percent behavior, and only 20 percent head knowledge. So sometimes you have to go with what actually works best overall, in spite of what the technical math shows.

In your case, I think it’s going to be very valuable to have no student loans by the time you complete your residency. With three years to go, and living on a $90,000 a year income, you can do it. Then, when you come through the other side as a full-fledge doctor, you’ll have the great income and be sitting there debt-free. Not a bad place to be, right?

Don’t risk the family farm Dear Dave, My wife started working at a pharmaceutical company that gave her a few thousand dollars’ worth of stock. In the last year that stock has doubled in value.

We’ve considered buying more just to see how it does. What do you think about this?

Robert Dear Robert, I understand why you guys would be excited, but you’re still looking at a very risky proposition. Any stock that doubles its value in just one year is highly volatile. It’s very unusual when things like that happen, and the fact is, it

I understand the Roth seems like a pretty good idea right now, but my advice is to stick with becoming debt-free as quickly as possible. could go down in value just a quickly.

I think you should be completely debt-free, except for your house, and have an emergency fund of three to six months of expenses in place before you start any outside investing. You should also make sure that 15 percent of your income is already going toward retirement.

I don’t mind you dabbling a little bit as long as all the other stuff is taken care of first. But I’d advise you to never put more than 10 percent of your nest egg into single stocks. If you’ve got $50,000 in a 401(k) right now, limit yourself to $5,000 in this area. That way, if the stock tanks and you lose it all, it’s only a small blip on the radar. You’ll still be financially intact and able to retire with

dignity.

It would be fantastic if this stock went through the roof and you two made a ton of money. That would be awesome! But make sure you limit the potential for damage by limiting your exposure.

Don’t risk the family farm, as they say, to make this play.

“I love risotto, and I know it’s pretty simple to make,” people tell me all the time when they eat it in one of my restaurants.

“But I just don’t like to stand there at the stove stirring for such a long time.”

They’re referring, of course, to one of the critical steps in preparing a classic risotto: the act of stirring the rice almost nonstop for half an hour or so as it simmers, while adding warm stock to the pot a little bit at a time as the rice absorbs it. This process helps to dissolve the generous amount of surface starch on the plump, short grains of rice used in risotto - Arborio, the most common variety, widely available in wellstocked supermarkets, as well as Carnaroli and Vialone Nano.

The result is the creamy sauce that gradually forms around the al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, grains, a signature of a perfectly made risotto.

That’s the way we cook risotto in my professional kitchens - the way it’s been done for centuries in Italy. But in recent years, while working with one of the convenient countertop appliances I’ve developed for home cooks, I’ve also discovered another way to make perfectly delicious, if not absolutely classic, risotto that requires almost none of the traditional activity that

leaves nonprofessional cooks with tired arms, legs, and feet.

All you need is an automatic if you’re one of those people who order risotto whenever you see it on the menu, but never make it at home, it’s worth buying an electric rice cooker for risotto-making alone. electric rice cooker. Now, it may seem counterintuitive that a pot of rice you leave alone, unattended, would develop a similar saucy consistency to what’s usually achieved from constant stirring.

But a rice cooker does a good job of safeguarding the moisture of risotto rice. So when you add a little more broth at the end of cooking, along with some juicy

mushrooms that you’ve sauteed with chopped onion and minced garlic, and then stir the rice for a minute or so, you can still achieve risotto’s familiar creamy sauce. It won’t be exactly like a painstakingly stirred risotto; but it’s still so good that you’ll marvel at it.

If you’re one of those people who order risotto whenever you see it on the menu, but never make it at home, it’s worth buying an electric rice cooker for risottomaking alone. (You might even find one of my own.) They’re reasonably priced, and you can also use them to steam perfect regular rice whenever you want.

Then, rice cooker at the ready, give my recipe here a try. Once you’ve made it, start coming up with your own variations, adding different vegetables, other kinds of cheese, and even pieces of sauteed meat, poultry, or seafood.

Your friends and family will thank you - and so will your arms, legs, and feet!

with a damp towel, wipe the mushrooms clean. with a small, sharp knife, trim off tough or dirty stems. then, cut the mushrooms into thick, uniform slices. put the rinsed and drained rice in a bowl. drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and stir well to coat the rice evenly. put the rice in the rice cooker. add 2 cups of the broth along with the wine, and 1-1/2 teaspoons of the salt. stir well. close the lid of the rice cooker and press the “cook” button. cook for 20 minutes, and then switch the control to the “keep warm” setting. while the rice is cooking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. add the garlic and saute, stirring continuously, for 1 minute. add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. raise the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring continuously, until the mushrooms are juicy and tender, 5 to 8 minutes. remove the skillet from the heat. taste and, if necessary, adjust the seasonings with more salt and pepper. set aside. carefully open the lid of the rice cooker. stir in the sauteed mushrooms, 1/2 cup of the broth, the butter, parsley, and parmesan. the mixture should have a creamy consistency; but, if it does not, stir in up to another 1/2 cup of the broth. continue stirring for about 1 minute longer; then, taste and adjust the seasonings again, if necessary. spoon the risotto into heated wide, shallow bowls or soup plates. serve immediately, passing additional parmesan at the table for anyone who would like more.
