Downers Grove Police Chief named president of statewide organization

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

It’s been four years making, but Downers Police Chief Robert recently took his place

in the Grove Porter at the

head of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police.

Porter, who has worked in the Downers Grove department for 25 years, was appointed president of the 1,200 member organization during its annual

summer training conference on June 21 in Downers Grove. He was first elected to the ILACP’s Board of Officers in 2009.

“It’s very humbling, and I’m very honored to be selected by my peers,” Porter said.

And while the designation is a testament to Porter’s experience, it’s not merely an individual honor. As president, Porter will help amplify Downers Grove’s influence on important legislative issues in Springfield.

“I think this absolutely benefits the village,” Porter said. “It gives us a seat at the table, particularly on legislative matters that impact our citizens. It’s also an See PORTER, page 4

Boehm announces retirement from Woodridge Police After 25 years with the Woodridge Police Department, Chief of Police Ken Boehm will retire from the village he has come to call home.

“I have been afforded the opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream,” Boehm said. “Leaving my colleagues in Woodridge will be difficult and I’m very thankful for the friends that I have made during my career with the Woodridge Police Department.”

Boehm has spent his entire career in law enforcement, the last 25 of which have been spent with Woodridge.

He was appointed as a patrol officer on the Woodridge Police Department in February 1988.

He rose through the ranks to sergeant in June 1999 and was promoted to deputy chief in June 2005. Boehm has held a

variety of specialized positions including gang officer, detective, field training officer, SWAT officer, and served as assistant SWAT commander for the regional Felony Investigative Assistance Team. As a sergeant he supervised the patrol, tactical, detective, and field training units.

He was named Chief of Police in February 2012.

“I sincerely want to thank all Village employees and the community of Woodridge for all of the support that has been extended to me during my career,”Boehm said.“I am grateful and feel so very fortunate to have had such a memorable career with the Village.”

His unanticipated retirement is due to opportunities that will require him to move out of state and will be effective Aug. 31.

News BLACKHAWKS Continued from page 1 headed to the event. During the morning rush hour Metra routes became so crowded it began to fall behind schedule and started running express trains to the loop because of capacity concerns.

The parade route parade began around 10:30 a.m. at Washington Street and Des Plaines Avenue headed east down on Washington Street. Because of this Chicago police closed down most of the major streets in the south loop around 8 a.m.The parade eventually ended at Hutchinson Field at Grant Park where the Blackhawks owner, team and front office were honored by the city and raised the Stanley Cup over their head while “Chelsea Dagger” blared over the park’s P.A. system.The team’s goal song was only slightly louder than then the diehard fans that were cheering the team.

“It’s better to live one day as a lion than 1,000 years as a lamb. So I ask you Chicago, live today with me and my teammates as lions!,” said Blackhawks defenseman

Chicago police reported that only six people were arrested at the event. One of them was a Matteson man who police say was carrying two guns during the rally. He was arrested without incident. However there was no major violence at the parade as the other five arrested were for misdemeanors.

“Last year I was stuck over on Michigan Avenue and I couldn’t really see anything. I like this year’s parade better. It’s more open, you can breath a little,” said

Brian Liedtke, Downers Grove.

He said that he and his wife Jamie like how the city planned a more organized event than the previous one four years ago.

Additionally the Chicago fire department and its partners responded to 91 calls for medical assistance at the parade and in 42 cases transported people to area hospitals.The majority of these calls were from people suffering heat exhaustion after partying too hard while not drinking enough water on a sunny day that had temps in the lower 80s. ahernandez@buglenewspapers.com

Plan your Independence Day around these community events

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

The Fourth of July is Thursday night, and residents of Westmont, Woodridge, Downers Grove and surrounding communities have plenty of options as to how they’ll spend their Independence Day. Since 2000 the village of Westmont and the Westmont Park District have cosponsored a Fourth of July celebration and fireworks show at Ty Warner Park, and this year is no exception. Back then, the Fourth of July celebration coincided with the July grand opening of the park. Because that inaugural event was so successful, Park District and village officials decided to turn it into a yearly celebration.

“That event was such a huge success, that the village and the Park District partnered and decided this was going to become our annual celebration,” said Park District Director and Westmont Mayor Ron Gunter. “Now, we estimate that it draws between 12,000 to 16,000

people. We’ve become a very popular destination.”

The Ty Warner Park July Fourth celebration is from 4 to 9:30 p.m. and will feature plenty of fun activities for children and adults.Live music,kids crafts, a petting zoo, bingo and a watermelon eating contest will take place at various times throughout the day, and food and beer vendors will be open between 4 and 9 p.m. For a complete schedule of the day’s activities, visit www.wpd4fun. org/Events/July-4th.htm.

At 9:30 p.m. the Westmont Fireworks Spectacular will begin north of Ty Warner Park. Gunter described the fireworks display as an “intense show” because it doesn’t have long gaps between blasts. The show is also unique because it combines the main display over Willow Crest Golf Club and a consecutive, secondary show within Ty Warner Park.

“It’s like a dual effect,” Gunter said.

“Not only are they shooting high in the air, we have some ground fire works and some very nice displays on our property.

[Fireworks] literally shooting over you while your watching the main display.”

The 25-minute Fireworks Spectacular is sponsored by the Westmont Auto Mile.

Downers Grove and Woodridge The villages of Downers Grove and Woodridge are teaming up again this year for their annual fireworks show on 75th Street and Lemont Road, and Woodridge spokesperson Jack Knight said this year’s shows will be five to 10 minutes longer than previous years.

“We’re really trying to let people know that this years show is going to run longer than years past,” Knight said.

The fireworks will begin at approximately 9:30 p.m. at the Zigfield Troy Golf Course, 1535 75th St. Village officials said the residents can expect the best view of the show from the parking lots along the 75th street near the intersection of Lemont Road.

Although partnering for the fireworks

display, each village will have their own individual celebrations leading up to the evening’s main event.

The Woodridge Special Events Committee will host its 45th annual Fourth of July Picnic from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Castaldo Park on 71st Street. Live music and kids activities, such as pony rides, will be the entertainment, and concessions will be sold throughout the day. Adults also can purchase beer at the event.

“It’s a long standing event and it is really well attended,” Knight said.

Downer’s Grove will hold its annual Fourth of July Parade at 12:45 p.m. The parade rout runs along Main Street from Grant Street to Warren Avenue.

The Independence Day celebration continues after the parade in Fishel Park.

Histories for Kids actor Terry Lynch will portray Alexander Hamilton and deliver a patriotic speech in honor of the holiday. The reenactment begins at 3 p.m. in the Veterans Memorial Pavilion at Fishel Park.

PORTER Continued from page 1 opportunity to give us a voice in the professional development training the ILACP does for police administrators across the state.”

The ILACP was organized in 1941 as a lobbying arm for law enforcement personnel in the state of Illinois and to establish best practices for its members through training.

In recent years,the organization has offered opinions on wellknown legislative battles, including the concealed carry and medical marijuana bills.

Porter said the president helps set the agenda of the ILACP, as well as speaks directly with state legislators on proposed laws that could affect police officers.

“The president is really involved in policy making,” he said. “We often work with the various legislators if they’re looking to craft a bill. There are numerous bills a year that we’ll work with legislators on, especially if we see a need in our communities.”

Downers Grove Police Chief Robert Porter.

Going forward, Porter said there are a large number of policy issues the organization is preparing for. The ILACP’s website has listed several initiatives they currently support, including a law to expand the “obstruction of justice” clause to cover improper identification and an increase in the penalty for aggravated fleeing and eluding. Current legislation the organization opposes includes expanding medical marijuana laws, restricting automated red light enforcement and eavesdropping on police by citizens.

In addition to these legislative duties,Porter will serve as a figure head for the organization. That

duty includes making various public appearances throughout his term. As vice president, Porter attended several police memorials during National Police Week.

In 2009, Porter ran for the office of fourth vice president to increase DuPage County’s representation in the organization.At that time, he was a member of the DuPage County Police Chiefs Association and had the support of law enforcement in the area.

A graduate of Lewis University, Porter’s education was an important factor in his successful run for the office. Porter earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s degree in public safety administration from Lewis. He then went on to graduate from Northwestern University’s School of Police Staff and Command in 1998 and the FBI National Academy in 2004.

Porter will serve as president for one year. The ILACP appoints each member of the Board of Officers successively through the ranks until they serve a term as president. jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

Woodridge police investigate string of residential burglaries

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

The Woodridge Police Department is investigating a series of residential burglaries that have occurred over the course of a month in the Seven Bridges subdivision.

Woodridge Police Sgt. Tom Stefanson said the incidents occurred on May 31, June 5 and June 21 in a quiet residential area. All of the burglaries occurred between 6 and 10 p.m. when the residents were not home. Stefanson said offender or offenders used a pry tool to gain entry to three separate singlefamily homes in the area.

“They all have similar characteristics, as far as the method of entry and items taken,” he said. “I don’t think these houses were specifically targeted.”

Woodridge police have several leads. Police are asking anyone with information to call 630719-4733. Residents should also call 911 to report any suspicious activity in their neighborhoods.

“We patrol in there as much as possible, but nobody knows the neighborhood like the people that live there,” Stephanson said.

“If they see something out of place, they need to report it to us as quick as they can.”

Police are reminding residents to leave exterior lights on when they aren’t home.If possible,they should attach motion sensors to exterior lights or install timers to interior lights if they will be away for long periods of time.

Stephanson said homeowners who are leaving town should take advantage of the police department’s vacation watch program or ask a trusted neighbor to watch their homes.

ForuM Letter to the Editor

Help advertise the Woodridge Jubilee With the 30th edition of the Woodridge Jubilee come and gone, the question I ask is for one of Woodridge’s top events, why didn’t more people attend?

I have been a resident of the village for almost 20 years and do enjoy what Woodridge has to offer, along with the other events in the western suburbs, but I wondered why it received only a small snippet in the calendar section of the May/ June edition of the Suburban Family Magazine.

I see other towns advertise for their events in papers and inserts, such as Ribfest in Naperville and Grovefest in Downers Grove. I spoke with Megan Pettit, P.R. and Market Director at the Park District and she says they do advertise it in the free sections and send out brochures to the residents in the village.

What about attracting the people from outside the village looking for fun and good times?

Instead of spending $18,000 to $25,000 on a new Park District board in the last year, consider using some funds to advertise in family publications, newspapers or even local radio, so as to draw people from not just the village but elsewhere in the area.

Maybe someone attends an event here may want to live here and be a part of the community.

Even with village monies being tight, good research, effort and placement would be useful in drawing people here, competing with surroundings villages and presenting a great product we as a community can be proud of.

THE BUGLE JULY 3, 2013

Good Sam stresses safety this 4th of July Without fireworks, the Fourth of July would seem like just another summer day.

But even in responsible adult hands, the fireworks that light up the skies and bring joy to revelers can be very dangerous.

About 9,000 people are injured or killed each year from fireworks, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Approximately 75 percent of those accidents occur in the four weeks surrounding Independence Day, and most are entirely preventable.

“Our emergency department sees about three to five patients with fireworks-related injuries each day surrounding the July 4th holiday,” said Dr. Stephen Crouch, emergency medicine physician at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital.

The most common burns Crouch sees are related to sparklers, but it’s also common for him to treat hand injuries from people holding fireworks

that explode before they expected.

Crouch offers the following tips for what to do if someone is injured from fireworks: Call 911 or go immediately to the doctor or emergency room.

In case of eye injury, do not touch or rub the eye; it can cause even more damage. Do not flush the eye with water or attempt to put any type of ointment in the eye. Protect the eye by covering it without applying direct pressure. In the emergency department, a hard metal eye shield is typically applied; at home, even a piece of cardboard would work.

In case of a burn, remove the item causing the burn and remove clothing from the burned area. Run cool water over the burn or apply a cool, wet cloth. Do not use ice. Seek medical attention.

“Enjoy the Fourth safely,” Crouch said. “Leave the fireworks to the professionals.”

THE BUGLE JULY 3, 2013

Horoscopes The week ahead may challenge your ability to lead others or assert your rights. A special someone may be caught in your spell and give you plenty of things to be grateful for by the end of the week.

Fight off the urge to stir things up to achieve your ambitions this week. You must strike a match to light a fire, but if you’re careless you may ignite something else by accident. Avoid controversies.

Immerse yourself in joint planning, but don’t attempt to put joint plans into motion in the early part of the week. Once you’ve dealt with the differences, the areas where you agree will become crystal clear.

You may hope to ride the stairway to heaven with a partner, but that doesn’t mean you should take action.

Avoid being coerced into major decisions or initiatives early in the week.

New starts in the week ahead could be flawed by poor planning, bad judgment, or an overabundance of competitiveness, but passion flourishes. Wait until late in the week to make crucial decisions or purchases.

Potential problems are deflected by the armor of intelligence.

You can’t be coerced or co-opted this week if you have definitive answers at your fingertips. Spend your pennies on items that will last.

In the week to come, you may cause conflict if you leap before you look. Be conservative about the use of financial resources. Listen with your heart because beneath the criticism there is genuine concern.

“Push and shove” tactics could cause you to waste precious energy in the week ahead. Remain poised, calm and considerate so you don’t damage a precious relationship.

Hold onto the purse strings. You’re challenged to keep money safe when a tempting investment crops up this week. You may not be aware of all the details or crucial information is not available.

Time is the wisest counselor. Exercise patience with others in the week ahead and avoid making a rushed decision. Rather than thinking things through, you might be reacting to outside stimuli.

The first half of the week is a poor time to launch crucial new work projects, as energies could get scattered or there could be opposition to authority.

Sit on your hands and wait a few days, if possible.

This week, you may hear more than one secret. Your understanding nature makes you a perfect candidate to be taken into someone’s confidence.

Accept what’s offered, but don’t probe without permission.

Donovan headlines All-Area team

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Mike Sandrolini/Bugle Staff

Westmont’s Charlie Donovan is the Voyager Media Baseball Player of the Year.

Charlie Donovan may be just 16 years old, yet the Voyager Media 2013 Baseball Player of the Year keeps a goal in mind that extends well beyond his years.

The left-handed hitting Westmont shortstop, who just completed his sophomore year, wants to not only make it to the major leagues, but have an extended, successful career.

“Yes, that’s My No. 1 goal in life: to be a great big leaguer,” said Donovan, whom Prep Baseball Report ranks as the No. 1 Illinois player in the Class of 2015.“I think it’s something that I’ve been dreaming about for so long that I just feel I can do it.

Most people who don’t make it get tired of the game or quit, but I feel I have enough talent and love for game that never seems to fade. I feel can achieve whatever I set out for.”

This area is dominated by Class 4A and 3A schools—Westmont is 2A— but Sentinels coach D.J. Cocks has no doubt Donovan would put up similar numbers if he were playing at a larger school.

Donovan led the Sentinels in just about every offensive category this spring—doubles (10), triples (7), home runs (4), RBI (40), stolen bases (28), batting average (.488), on-base percentage (.578) and slugging percentage (.907).

“It doesn’t matter what class he’s in, he’s going to produce,” Cocks said. “He would have done it at any level. We played a lot of 3A and 4A teams and he produced. Half of our conference (the Interstate Eight) is 3A schools.”

Donovan verbally committed to play baseball at the University of Michigan after his freshman year—a year in which he hit .440.

Michigan coaches saw him at a

college showcase and liked what they saw. Donovan then went up to Ann Arbor to visit the campus, and the feeling was mutual.

“I loved the campus,” he said.

“I bought into their (coaching staff’s) vision for future, their academics are top notch, their facilities are state of the art. I felt at home and comfortable and had a gut feeling this is the place I need to go to.”

Though Donovan casts an eye towards the future, he’s focused on the present. He’s playing travel ball with Chicago-based Gravel Baseball, and had a tryout last week at Triton College for the White Sox Area Code team.

If chosen for that team, Donovan would then compete with the squad in the Area Code Games at Long Beach, Calif., in August.

Come next spring, he wants to help the Sentinels improve on their 22-7 record in 2013 and put together a deep postseason run.

“My team and personal goals are really similar,” he said. “Win the regional and advance into the state tournament as far as we possibly can. That’s all that matters. If I do great (personally) that’s just icing on the cake.”

The rest of the members of the Voyager Media All-Area baseball team are:

QUINN AHERN Senior posted a 5-1 record with three saves, a 1.26 ERA and 48 strikeouts for Joliet West.

DEREK BANGERT Senior catcher batted .384 with eight doubles, nine home runs and 44 RBI for Lockport.

Bangert was named to the SWSC Blue All Conference, IHSBCA All Area and IHSBCA All State See ALL-AREA, page 14

Rugged schedules await gridiron teams

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Jack Beneventi of Benet and David Edwards of Downers North established themselves as two of the area’s best quarterbacks during their first varsity seasons.

Now, Beneventi and Edwards, both juniors, are hoping to build on their successes, both individually and as part of teams that went deep into the Class 7A playoffs.

Here’s a look at each area team’s upcoming schedules, and how they’ll stack up against this year’s lineup of opponents:

BENET Beneventi burst onto the scene and ended up throwing for 2,000 yards while guiding the Redwings to the semifinals of the Class 7A playoffs—the deepest playoff run by Benet since 1984. The Redwings also won the East Suburban Catholic Conference and tied the school record for most victories (11).

Beneventi—who is getting attention from universities such as Notre Dame, Illinois, Stanford and Georgia—and the Redwings kick off the 2013 season at Downers South Aug. 30, and play South Elgin in their See RUGGED, page 16

ALL-AREA Continued from page 11 teams. He is attending Heartland Community College on a baseball scholarship.

“Derek has been the cleanup hitter all year for our 32-8 conference, regional, and sectional championship team,” Satunas said. “He is a two-year varsity starter and is one of the most respected hitters in the state. He has hit nine home

Sports runs and knocked in 44 RBI in 40 games versus some of the toughest competition in the state. On defense, he started 32 of our 37 games behind the plate and has helped our pitching staff to a 1.69 ERA and has thrown out 32 percent of would be base stealers.”

MAX BROZOVICH Senior batted .440 on the season for Minooka with 11 doubles, three home runs and 32 RBI.

ZACK BURDI A Downers Grove South c o - M V P, Burdi had a .418 batting average with 10 doubles, t h r e e homers and 31 RBI. On the mound he was 4-3 with a 3.16 ERA and 57 strikeouts.

TYLER BUTLER Butler batted .440 with 10 doubles, six homers and 31 RBI, while scoring 43 times for Plainfield South.

“Tyler Butler is the leader of this team,” Plainfield South coach Phil Bodine said. “He gets every big hit when needed. Tyler has hit for average this year as well as power. Without him in the middle of our lineup we would have struggled to score runs.”

KYLE COLLETTA Niles West coach Garry Gustafson calls Colletta “the best shortstop in the area without a doubt” (.974 fielding percentage; only two errors). However, the senior posted some noticeable numbers on the bump, too.

The NCAA Division I Northern Kentucky recruit, who is the only four-year starter in Niles West history, went 5-3, striking out 64 in 58 innings, with a 1.57 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP. “As far as I’m concerned he’s one of top players to ever come through Niles West,” Gustafson said. “He’s just got a work ethic second to none. He’s a kid that comes along once every 10 or 12 years, if you’re lucky.”

SAM COUCH JCA senior pitched a teamhigh 64.7 innings in 11 games, posting a 6-1 record with a 1.08 ERA, a 0.91 WHIP and a teambest 72 strikeouts. Couch was ay his best in the post-season, including tossing a no-hitter against Lemont in the regional final.

“It was an unbelievable end for Sam,” said JCA coach Jared Voss.

“He had 35 straight scoreless innings to end the season. It goes to show you that you don’t have to throw 90 (miles per hour) to be a dominant high school pitcher. You can throw 82-83 and have three pitches get over for strikes and be successful. He is the ultimate competitor and always challenged himself.”

NICK DALESANDRO JCA sophomore batted .360 with 26 RBI and 18 runs scored.

On the mound, he pitched in 15 games, going 7-2 with two saves with a 1.77 ERA and 61 strikeouts, including pitching the Hillmen to a Class 3A state title.

“Watching him pitch in the state championship game and seeing the confidence he had

out there, if you had never saw us play and just watched him, there is no way you would have said he is a sophomore. He carried himself like a senior, like a guy who has already been there and done that,” Voss said. “It is pretty scary to think that he is only going to fill out and put on more muscle over the next two years.”

ERIC DUZAN Went 8-1 for Lockport in 52.2 innings pitched with a 0.66 ERA and a 0.92 ERA. He struck out 51 and walked only 18 batters on the season. Named to the SWSC Blue All Conference team and is attending Prairie State College on a baseball scholarship.

“Eric is a dominant pitcher with excellent command of his fastball and slider,” said Lockport coach Andy Satunas. “Eric threw a one-hitter against Montini and two-hitters against Minooka and Marian Catholic (regional championship game).”

CODY GROSSE Batted .451 for Joliet West with 14 runs batted in.

TREVOR HENDERSON While the Plainfield South offense was putting up runs all year, Henderson was keeping opponents off the scoreboard.

He finished the year 7-2 with a 1.44 ERA and an area-best 93 strikeouts.

“Trevor Henderson has been the ace of our staff the last two years,” Bodine said. “He has pitched every big game. He has set just about every record for the school with one year left.”

JAKE HERRON Joliet West senior posted a 7-1 record with a 1.59 ERA and 62 strikeouts this season.

ZACH JONES The senior catcher for Maine South, who advanced to the Class 4A supersectionals this season, was named to the 2013 All-CSL South squad and also earned team MVP honors. Jones hit .415 and was second on the Hawks with 26 RBI while doing “an outstanding job behind the plate,” according to coach Bill Milano.

“He did a tremendous job blocking the ball and receiving the ball,” Milano added. “He See ALL-AREA, page 15

Sports ALL-AREA Continued from page 14 works extremely hard on hitting. He was in early in the morning before school working.

I would get in by 7:30 a.m. for doubleheaders and he’d be the next one in.”

CONNOR KOPACH Downers North leadoff hitter batted .426 with 46 hits, 41 runs, eight doubles, three triples, three homers and had 11 stolen bases.

“The first thing that is going to catch your attention from Connor is his ability to glove the baseball,” Downers North coach Chad Isaacson said. “His range, soft hands, strong throwing arm and the ability to change a game all come by gloving the baseball.

Connor is a complete baseball player. He has hit leadoff all year and has led our team in average, hits, runs and stolen bases and has help ignite our offense. Connor is a quiet leader who leads by example and work ethic. Connor will be attending Southern Illinois University to play baseball.”

JOSH KRUEGER Romeoville sophomore surpassed the .400 mark on the year at the plate and on the mound he struck out 32 batters and walked only four.

“He is our all-conference player,” Romeoville coach Dave Haskins said. “He has a bright future. We are lucky to have him for two more years. He is a great young man to build around. He is a great competitor. He will probably be our No. 1 on the bump next year.”

EVAN MARTENS Senior posted a 10-1 record with a 2.18 ERA for Lockport. He posted a team-best 60 strikeouts to only 17 walks. He was named to the SWSC Blue All Conference and is an IHSBCA All Area Pitcher. He will play next season at Southern Illinois Edwardsville on a baseball scholarship.

“He is one of the best pitchers in the state,” said Lockport coach Andy Satunas.“I don’t care about miles per hour or anything he

just has it inside him. He is a warrior out there. When he gets his curve ball over, good luck to the other team.”

DANNY MAYER Senior from Downers South batted .415 with 11 doubles, four homers and 43 RBI. The co-team MVP was also 5-1 on the mound with a 2.9 ERA and 32 strikeouts.

PAT MCINERNEY The 6-5 M c I n e r n e y, a four-year varsity player for Benet, was an imposing presence in the Redwings’ l i n e u p , slugging eight homers with 38 RBI, a .497 on-base percentage and a .763 slugging percentage.

McInerney, also a starting forward on Benet’s sectional finalist basketball team, captured ESCC Player of the Year honors and plans on playing baseball at the University of Illinois.

“Pat made our team just better and he’s been like another coach on the field,” Benet coach Scott Lawler said. “Pat was our glue. If he stays healthy, I will say this: I spent 10 years as a recruiting coordinator at the college level and I think he’ll be a major contributor at Illinois.”

JOHN MCNULTY Senior catcher from Plainfield South batted .402 with 14 doubles, five homers and 38 RBI for the regional champs.

“John McNulty is the glue for our team coming up with big hits as well as throwing out runners stealing and picking off runners, giving our pitchers confidence to trust him behind the plate,” Bodine stated.“He has been a three-year starter and will be hard to replace. He will do well at Coastal Carolina.”

JOSH MITCHELL Senior posted a 5-1 record with 61 strikeouts and a 1.38 ERA for Minooka.

KURT PALANDECH Plainfield

North

senior

shortstop finished with a .456 batting average, eight doubles, 34 runs scored and 20 RBI. “Kurt has been hitting around the .500 mark all season,” Plainfield North coach John Darlington said. “He has played on two conference title and three regional title teams. He is a leader on and off the field and you couldn’t ask for a harder worker than him.”

SETH ROSENBURG Rosenburg, a Niles West senior, arguably was the best defensive catcher in the CSL South this season. Wolves coach Garry Gustafson said Rosenburg could throw from home to second base between 1.85 and 1.90 seconds.

“Nobody ran on Seth Rosenberg,” Gustafson said.“Seth the last two years really shut down the opponents’ running game.” Rosenburg, an All-CSL South pick, also developed into an effective hitter, batting .375 with three homers and 33 RBI. “He hit right in middle of the lineup,” Gustafson said. “We counted on him as an RBI guy and he certainly didn’t let us down.”

RYAN SCHLICHER Westmont’s D.J. Cocks has been coaching high school baseball for 10 years, and he witnessed a first in his career this spring: one of his players scoring 50 runs in a season. Schlicher, a senior, put up that number, which is a school record. Schlicher collected a team-high 46 hits and batted .451 while making the all-Interstate Eight squad. At second base, he committed only five errors out of 100 chances.

“We’ll definitely miss his leadership, and he was the definition of a baseball player,” Cocks said. “He’s a big reason why we had the success we did this season.”

TROY SOUTHARD Senior from Downers North batted .330 with 37 hits, 10 doubles and 29 RBI for the sectional finalists. Also

THE BUGLE JULY 3, 2013 went 5-4 on the mound.

“Troy is a three-year starter for us,” Isaacson said. “He is also a three-time all conference player as a fielder/pitcher.Troy has been a conference weekend starter the past two years. Troy has been a mainstay at the top of the lineup and hit in the four hole the past two seasons. Consistency is what describes Troy where you know what you are going to get. He has an excellent glove and gives you great at bats and quality starts on the mound along with constant leadership. Troy will continue to play baseball at Illinois Wesleyan University.”

CHRIS TSCHIDA A four-year varsity player, the senior captain batted .390 with team bests in RBI (32) and runs scored (44) and posted a .973 fielding percentage, committing only four errors in 148 chances, all throwing errors.

“He was our team leader,” Voss said. “He continued to raise his level of play as the competition got better.Offensively,defensively

15

and the way he ran the bases, he is just a great player.”

DION URSINO Ursino was a rock of consistency for the Dons this spring, said Notre Dame coach Nelson Gord. “He really pretty much carried our offense pretty much all the way through the season,” Gord said. “Whenever we needed a big hit, or somebody came up (after him in the lineup), he was either person who got the hit or he was the person on base scoring.”

The Dons’ MVP and all-ESCC team member hit .374 with 13 doubles and 24 RBI—all team highs—and stole 10 bases. “This year he swung the bat with authority,” Gord said.

Ursino played in the regional championship game despite being later diagnosed with a grade 2 tear of the medial collateral ligament in his right knee.

Champions crowned at Route 66 Raceway Tony Schumacher raced to the Top Fuel victory in spectacular fashion Sunday as his U.S. Army dragster’s 8,000-horsepower engine exploded in a huge fireball when he crossed the finish line in the final round of the O’Reilly Auto Parts Route 66 NHRA Nationals.

Matt Hagan (Funny Car), Jeg Coughlin (Pro Stock) and Michael Ray (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also were winners of the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series event.

Schumacher’s fiery finish stopped the clocks in 3.930 seconds at 269.29 mph, but it was quick enough to hold off a determined Clay Millican, whose Parts Plus dragster trailed and the veteran driver remained winless in six career final round appearances. It was the third win of the season and the 72nd overall for local favorite Schumacher, a longtime Chicagoland area resident.

Schumacher powered past David Grubnic, Khalid alBalooshi and defending world champ Antron Brown to advance to the final round. In the final, Millican was actually ahead of Schumacher near mid-track, but Schumacher’s machine surged forward, the engine eventually expiring just as he crossed the finish line first.

“It’s always great to have a hometown win here in Chicago,” said Schumacher of his fourth victory at Route 66 Raceway, located just south of Chicago.

“It was a great day for Don Schumacher Racing with another double-up [Matt Hagan’s Funny

Car win].

This is 37 times that we’ve done that, and it was personally gratifying with all the family and friends I had here this weekend.”

Going into the final with Millican, he was very aware of his record against drivers who are seeking their first wins.

“When you look back in Top Fuel history, whenever anybody gets their first win, it’s against me,” said Schumacher, who regained the series lead with the victory.

In Funny Car, Hagan extended his series lead with his third win of the season as he edged final round opponent John Force at the finish line.

Hagan’s Magneti Marelli/Rocky Boots Dodge Charger posted a 4.605 at 315.34, while Force’s Castrol GTX Ford Mustang finished just behind in 4.113 at 304.80.

“It’s so hard to get these wins, so I feel great to be here,” said Hagan, who had to knock of championship title contender Johnny Gray, defending world champ Jack Beckman and Bob Tasca III in earlier rounds.

It was Force’s third consecutive final round appearance and the 15-time world champ has surged from 10th to third place in the last three races.

Hagan said his adrenaline was overflowing for that final round with the NHRA icon.

In Pro Stock, Coughlin raced to his second win of the season and fifth at Route 66 Raceway when he drove his JEGS.com/Mopar

Dodge Avenger away from final round opponent Greg Anderson.

Coughlin covered the distance in 6.603 at 209.85 while Anderson’s Summit Racing Equipment Chevy Camaro lost traction near midtrack and slowed.

KENSETH WINS No. 4 Matt Kenseth corralled his first Kentucky Speedway NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) victory by gaining the race lead on a fuel-only pit stop with 23 laps remaining and raced away to a 0.699 of a second victory in the Quaker State 400 presented by Advance Auto Parts.

Kenseth registers his first top-five Kentucky Speedway NSCS finish and is one of four drivers to own three top-10 finishes at the speedway through three series starts.The firstyear Joe Gibbs Racing driver’s previous best Kentucky Speedway NSCS finish was sixth on July 9, 2011 and he placed seventh on June 30, 2012.

“I didn’t roll the dice, (crew chief) Jason (Ratcliff) did. I thought he was a slightly crazy when it happened.

“This is such a great team and a great opportunity for me.

It’s been just an unbelievable season and year of my life, honestly. Jason did a great job. I didn’t think there was any way we were going to hold on for that win. He made the right call at the right time and these guys got it done on pit road,” Kenseth said.

After ending a 15-year tenure with Roush Fenway Racing at the end of 2012, he said he’s a bit surprised to be holding the lead in NSCS victories near the midpoint of the season.

Change bad habit before it starts to create more trouble Q. I know I have some bad habits as a manager, but I don’t typically see them until after I’ve created a conflict. How can I get ahead of these behaviors and try to stop myself before I create more problems for myself?

A. There are three critical steps for change: 1) Pay attention to what you are doing.

2) Know what emotions you’re feeling.

3) Behave well even though you feel badly.

Most of my new clients tell me they have no clue why just being more aware of ineffective behavior is the first step of change. Clients tell me they just feel more frustrated and embarrassed when they become more conscious of mistakes. Of course, no one likes to feel worse before they feel better.

Unfortunately, the price of change is learning to tolerate embarrassment. We all feel uncomfortable when we see ourselves doing something stupid, but we can’t stop what we can’t see.

When you make a commitment to paying attention to what you’re doing in your workplace, you retire from the ranks of the working zombies.You give yourself the freedom of a choice because you get off automatic pilot.

You finally will have the option to do what is most effective rather than unconsciously repeat your bad habit.

Our ineffective unconscious habits are usually based on powerful feelings.

When we feel mad, we pout, even though no one knows what we want. When we feel hurt, we criticize others, even though no one knows we wanted credit for our hard work. When we feel scared, we control everyone around us, even though controlling everyone is alienating.

Thus, when we become aware we’re about to engage our bad habit, we will run smack into a powerful emotion.

The trick is to be able to stand the emotion long enough to think about the outcome we want. Bad habits numb out bad feelings because when we take action we stop feeling. If you want to change, you have to tolerate your bad feelings.

Once you can feel that you’re sad, angry or scared, you can entertain thinking about your preferred future. If you yell, pout or control others, what will happen next? Is this outcome what you want? If not, you can now say or do something different that will help you get what you want.

I will warn you that thinking about the result you want

is not nearly as immediately emotionally satisfying as behaving badly. When we’re upset at work, we usually rationalize our bad habit by thinking that other people deserve to be treated badly because they have upset us.

We don’t usually realize that our bad feelings are our responsibility. Sure, someone at work might have upset you.

But whose side are you on right now? If you’re on your own side, then do or say what will help you do well in the long run. Don’t let someone else’s upsetting behavior cause you to undermine your own success.

Last word(s) Q. I’ve had a serious reversal that has surprised me in my career. Is there anything I can do to get my career back on track?

A. Yes, ask yourself what your hero would do, and try that. Heroes are just regular people who made good under pressure.

Don’t feel obligated to pay son’s loan Dear Dave, Our son is about to graduate from law school. He took out a loan to cover the cost, but we’ve been paying on it for two years to help him out.

Right now, the balance on the loan is about $76,000. We could continue paying it off, but my husband is hesitant.

How do you feel about this situation?

Patty Dear Patty, It’s not a bad thing if you guys decide to continue helping him out by paying off the rest of the loan. But I don’t want you to feel as if you’re obligated in any way. No deal has been broken here, and you haven’t reneged on a previous agreement. But there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a young lawyer earning a living and paying off his own debt. He can roll up his sleeves and clean up the mess he participated in making.

If you do decide to pay it off, that’s an incredibly generous gift. In my mind, it should be met with much gratitude and appreciation. It should also be accompanied by a signed letter of agreement from him stating that he will never, except in the case of a 15-year, fixed rate mortgage, borrow money again.

In other words, I’d want to see some kind of permanent commitment and recognition of the fact that you guys have changed your family tree. I’d want this kid to be affected in a deep and profound way by this gift; so much that his kids would also be affected in a positive way by your behavior and by his in the years to come!

—Dave

To refinance or not to refinance?

Dear Dave, Is there a downside to refinancing your home often?

Katrina

Dear Katrina, There’s really no downside to this, as long as each time you do a refinance you lower your interest rate enough to allow you to recoup closing costs before you move. In other words, you have to first make sure the numbers work.

First, calculate the amount of money you’ll save as a result of a refinance.

The way to do this is by multiplying the interest difference by your loan balance. If you have a $200,000 mortgage on a 5 percent loan, and you refinance to a 3 percent loan, that will save you 2 percent per year, or $4,000. Next, look at the refinance costs. What are the closing costs in order to refinance? If it’s $10,000, and you divide that by $4,000, that says it would take two and a half years to get your money back. If the costs are $8,000, it would take you two years to get your money back if you’re saving $4,000 a year.

That’s pretty substantial!

What I just laid out is called a break-even analysis.

Basically, it answers the question of how long it will take you to get back the money you spent on closing costs with the interest you save. That will give you the answer as to whether or not you should refinance again.

So, there’s not really a “you’ve done this too often” rule. If you refinance three times in a year it would only be smart if interest rates have dropped significantly throughout that time. Doing a refinance to save an eighth of a percent won’t work out well for you.

WELCOME TO ANTWERP A plunge into funky, homegrown urbanity

B

elgium falls through the cracks. It’s a little country, not big enough for people to find on a map sometimes.

But it’s one of Europe’s great secrets.While its capital, Brussels, has become overly international, the port city to the north Antwerp - has more of a local identity. It’s an honest, what-yousee-is-what-you-get place, perhaps because it’s in the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium called Flanders.

This city of about 500,000 offers visitors an eclectic array of sightseeing - and it’s easy to navigate since most locals speak English. If you have just one day (or less), you’ll need to be selective, choosing between art, churches, history, fashion, and so on.

Just arriving can be a thrill. I can’t think of a city with a more visit-worthy train station than Antwerp.The building stands like a temple to the Industrial Age. Built at the turn of the 20th century, it’s giddy with steel and glass - such as its arrival hall with a triumphal arch crowned by a grand clock.

Imagine the age: Just a generation earlier, people thought you might die if you traveled at more than 30 miles per hour. For those living in the brave new world of steam engines, journeys that previously took days could be done in hours. Of course, today’s trains can be five-times faster; that’s why the Belgians tunneled under the old station so that bullet trains can zip in and out with only a quick stop.

Stepping out of the station, you’ll find some modern buildings due to Hitler’s rocket attacks during World War II more V-2s fell on Antwerp than on London. Fortunately, most of the Old Town survived.As it has for centuries, the Cathedral of Our Lady dominates the city

As soon as you step off the train in Antwerp, you’re in a major attraction - its Industrial Age train station.

center; its 400-foot-tall spire is the highest in the Low Countries.

The interior is packed with fine artwork, including four paintings by local-boy-made-good Peter Paul Rubens.

Next door, the Grote Markt, Antwerp’s main square, is dominated by the looming tower of the cathedral at one end and the stately City Hall at the other. On a facade dating from Antwerp’s Golden Age (16th century), the City Hall flies flags from dozens of countries representing the importance of international trade to the city.

One of the city’s top sights is the Rubens House (www. rubenshuis.be).This former home of artist Peter Paul Rubens does a fine job of introducing visitors both to the artist’s works - several of which are displayed here - and to his lifestyle.There are other places in Antwerp to see Rubens’ paintings, but this exhibit offers you a chance to also learn about how he lived and the methods he employed - interesting even to people who think Peter Paul Rubens is the guy who plays Peewee Herman.

Another type of house is found in Antwerp’s Red Light District, which is north of the Old Town and near the port.

This is Belgium’s biggest hub of legalized prostitution and one of the most businesslike I’ve seen

in Europe.About four city blocks are pedestrianized and feel almost like a shopping mall. I did notice that, while Antwerp has a slick red light neighborhood, it has almost no sleaze elsewhere in town. In a sense, they cleaned the city up by sweeping it all into a small pile.This area is not as sketchy as it might seem the mayor actually encourages visitors to stroll here - but it’s also not entirely safe either; it’s best to visit during the day.

The nearby Museum aan de Stroom (www.mas.be), or MAS for short, is housed in a 210-foottall mod tower, encased in handcut red stone, and speckled with silver hands (the symbol of Antwerp). Designed to resemble the spiraling stacks of goods in an old warehouse, its maritime, ethnographic, and folklore collections confirm Antwerp’s reputation as a crossroads for the world.Take the bank of escalators to the top for a free, stunning view of the city.

Fashionistas love windowshopping in the Sint-Andries district south of the Old Town.

Antwerp’s status as a fashion mecca is a relatively recent development. In 1988, six students from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts’ fashion department traveled to a London show, where they got a lot of attention.

Each one opened a shop in Sint-

Andries, and now it’s one of Europe’s top fashion zones.

As you explore, you’ll discover that many streets have their own personalities. For example, Schuttershofstraat and Hopland are where you’ll find famouslabel international couture, while Kammenstraat is better for trendy,

retro-hipster fashions.

If funky urbanity is your thing, Antwerp is one of Europe’s most intriguing cities. Compared to stodgy, bureaucratic Brussels, Antwerp’s colorful persona respects its storied past even as it embraces its bright future.
