niles election board

Judge overrules board decision on ballot question Niles resident Joe Makula petitioned to get the two questions on the ballot next month

By Alex Hernandez staff reporter

ahernandez@buglenewspapers.com @TheAVHernandez

Niles officials were expected to meet Monday to discuss a referendum question limiting the mayor’s ability to appoint trustees.

As The Bugle previously reported, Niles resident Joe Makula petitioned to get the two questions on the ballot next month.

The first would limit the mayor’s ability to appoint a village clerk and the other his ability to appoint trustees to the board if there is a vacancy between elections.

Last month, the Niles Electoral Board -- composed of Village Clerk Marlene Victorine, Trustee Joe LoVerde and Mayor Andrew

Przybylo -said Makula’s questions had “fatal” flaws and moved to strike both questions off the Nov. 4 ballot. Chief among these perceived flaws were that the ballot measures were not self-executing.

The questions came before the board because of complaints filed by Frank J. Mareci, another Niles resident.

His attorney, James P. Nally, said Makula’s ballot questions could “disable government” because in a situation where more than one trustee left office because of illness or other issues, the village wouldn’t have a quorum and therefore not be able to make any decisions.

However, on Oct. 2 Cook County Circuit Court Judge Paul Karkula overruled the electoral board’s decision on the trustee

appointment question after Makula appealed the village’s decision on his two questions.

Karkula also ruled in favor of the village to keep the clerk question off the ballot.

If passed, the trustee appointment question would require voters would fill vacancies on the village board

at the next election unless that vacancy happens less than 196 days before a municipal election.

In that case, the seat would remain vacant until the following municipal election.

“The village of course remains neutral on the decision,” said Niles Communications Coordinator Hayley Garard.

“However, there are some serious long-term affects associated, so we actually have called a special meeting for Monday night...to provide valuable information to voters about what this referendum would mean.”

answers | from page 1 “My heart goes out to this family,” said Mayor Dan DiMaria.

“After Lovely [Varughese] spoke at a recent board meeting, I told her I’d do whatever I could to help. They’re one of our Morton Grove families, and this needs more attention.”

Carbondale police said the student was last seen leaving a party around 11 p.m. on Feb. 12. His final tweet, around 12:17 a.m. on Feb. 13, was “Bloody knuckles... guesss i [sic] was in a fight #backdown.” The SIU student’s body would be found in the woods in the 1400 block of East Main Street the morning of Feb. 18, about three and a half miles from his home at the college.

Dr. Ben Margolis is a forensic pathologist and founder of

Thursday, October 23, 2014 | ni lesbug le.com Autopsy Center of Chicago. The Varughese family hired him to examine their son’s body independently of Carbondale authorities.

“This [independent] autopsy was performed three days after Pravin was found,” said Margolis on Saturday. “It was completed without the benefit of any documentation from the initial coroner’s results or the police investigation.”

His examination concluded the underlying cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head. The body also had multiple other injuries, like a big defensive injury to the right arm. None of the injuries are self-inflicted, Margolis told The Bugle. Margolis’ toxicology report on Pravin’s body also found the student was indeterminate for substances with rapid metabolism like

alcohol, but were negative for drugs with long half-life like marijuana.

Immediately after the his body was found, then-Carbondale Police Chief Jody O’Guinn said investigators believed difficult

home, and then froze to death after getting lost in the woods didn’t add up.

She told The Bugle Jackson County Coroner Thomas W. Kupferer contacted her during the initial investigation to say

“My heart goes out to this family. “After Lovely [Varughese] spoke at a recent board meeting, I told her I’d do whatever I could to help. They’re one of our Morton Grove families, and this needs more attention.”

- Mayor Dan DiMaria

terrain and low temperatures led to the death and suspected no foul play. But Lovely Varughese, Pravin’s mother, said the police’s theory that Pravin got drunk, couldn’t figure out how to tell the person driving him how to get

her son had tested negative for drugs and alcohol in his system in the county’s autopsy report.

However Carbondale authorities have refused requests by the Varughese family and The Bugle to release their autopsy and

toxicology results to the public.

Jackson County State’s Attorney Michael Carr soon took over the investigation, and over the past eight months, his office has refused to comment on the case “because of the ongoing investigation.”

Margolis said his examination allowed him to arrive at two theories on how Pravin Varughese received blunt force trauma injury to the head and the defense injuries.

The first is that he did indeed run into the woods in the dark and the thick undergrowth could have led to self-injury to the head.

The other is that the injuries were from someone attacking him. Margolis said he needs the Jackson County autopsy and toxicology reports as well as any police reports and photos regarding how Pravin Varughese was found in the woods to determine which theory is correct.

“They should just send their stuff over to Ben,” said Lovely Varughese. “He’s been so thorough.”

In August, the Varughese family filed a $5 million wrongful death suit against the City of Carbondale, O’Guinn, and Gaege Bethune, the last person to see their son alive. O’Guinn was fired from the police department by Carbondale City Manager Kevin Baity on Aug. 18 for “confidential reasons.”

The lawsuit alleges that 19-year-old Pravin Varughese was beaten to death by someone who had given him a ride after the Feb. 12 party.

Moreover, it also alleges O’Guinn’s told them “it’s just what college kids do; they go missing for several days” before their son’s body was found in the woods.

The family further claims O’Guinn purposefully failed to follow up with the state trooper that stopped Bethune on the road where Pravin Varughese went missing or do a proper search of the wooded area where their son was last seen by Bethune.

The family argues these were “willful” acts aimed at trying to keep bad publicity from getting out about Carbondale because the city is economically dependent on SIU. ETS Intelligence, LLC, the private investigation firm the Varughese family has hired, is asking anyone with information regarding Pravin Varughese’s death to call 847-886-2455.

state news

Illinois Ebola hotline now in operation Quinn has directed IDPH to assemble a task force to ensure residents and hospitals across the state are informed and prepared Illinois residents with questions about Ebola can call the Ebola hotline at 800-889-3931 or visit www.ebola.illinois.gov.

“Governor Quinn has directed the Illinois Department of Public Health to take every step necessary to ensure that Illinois’ hospitals, health care workers and residents are safe and prepared in the event

of aconfirmed Ebola case,” Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck said.

“Information and education are the best ways to protect yourself, which is why we’ve activated the Ebola hotline and website.”

Quinn has directed IDPH to assemble a task force to ensure residents and hospitals across the

state are informed and prepared to address Ebola. The full task force will be announced shortly.

Any hospital in Illinois that follows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s infections control recommendations will be able to isolate a patient who might have Ebola in a private room and then will be able to provide care for a that patient. A designated hospital will have staff with Ebolaspecific training, however.

The CDC recently designated Illinois as one of the few states able to perform Ebola testing.

The Village is proposing spending money to create dedicated bike lanes on Village streets.

If you’ve driven down Elston or Clybourn into the heart of Chicago, Another you know what a perspective disaster bike lanes are morgan dubiel for normal traffic.

There’s an easy way and a hard way to improve bike safety, but it all depends on why the Village is doing this.

If the goal is simply bicycle safety, then the solution is straightforward.

Bicycles are most at risk when they are on the roadway in vehicular traffic.

Pretending that a bike is a car is silly.

A car is steel wrapped around flesh, while a bicycle is the exact opposite.

A bicycle is powered the same way Fred Flintstone s vehicle was, by foot power.

Automotive power is measured in horsepower, and even the smallest car produces the power of a hundred horses.

We don t allow go-karts or lawnmowers on our roadways, and they produce at least 4 horsepower.

A bicycle isn t even close at less than ½ a horse, it s not even a full horse.

So the most obvious solution is to get bicycles off the street.

By simply changing the law and allowing bicycles to use sidewalks we open up miles and miles of safe bike routes.

In Niles, there is so little bike or pedestrian traffic that our police don’t even enforce this law.

It’s just a waste of valuable resources.

Why not save all the money to be spent on bike lanes and make bike riding safer at the same time?

If the motive is safe bike riding, then that’s the correct solution. But there’s another possibility.

Currently popular with central planners and the American Left is the idea of degrowth.

The goal is to get people to stop improving their lives via technological growth that’s brought us the wealth and liberty we enjoy today.

It’s part of the sustainability movement and is anti-consumer, anti-capitalist, and at its heart antiAmerican.

In this worldview human beings are the problem and the cure is less people. This is achieved by limiting growth and improvement in human endeavor.

The Degrowth Movement’s ranks

Why not save all the money to be spent on bike lanes and make bike riding safer at the same time?

If the motive is safe bike riding, then that’s the correct solution. But there’s another possibility. are filled with the same cadre of people who believe that human beings are at the heart of the earth’s problems.

The goal of these bike paths is to make driving a car difficult.

As a practical matter a car means liberty and safety for us and particularly for seniors. That mobility allows you the freedom to live as you wish.

Cars are good. They connect people to their communities. They help seniors to stay active and engaged.

Cars save lives.

Right now, bike lanes are just an idea at the exploratory level.

If we get a simple, pragmatic, costfree change in the law, then the goal is safety and Niles remains its good old self.

If not, then you’ll know the real goal is degrowth, and Niles continues its hard left into Chicago.

Yamat yAmAzing Maine East senior finishes second in the state in Class 3A

By Mike sAndrolini sports reporter

mike@nilesbugle.com @Voyager_Sport

Orion Yamat was at the top of the leaderboard going into the final round at the boys Class 3A state golf tournament on Saturday.

Yamat certainly played well enough to seal the deal and bring a state championship back to Maine East. Unfortunately, Kenneth Li from Hinsdale Central tamed The Den at Fox Creek Golf Course in Bloomington that day, firing a 5 under par 67 and capturing the individual crown.

“I feel like it was definitely a great experience,” Yamat said. “I played some relatively solid golf.

One over is a great score, and a 67 is hard to beat. It’s good that I was able to get there and get to that point.”

“Orion was steady and played great today,” said Maine East coach Tony Montesano. “The other kid had a five under today.

What are you going to do? Second place was amazing.”

Yamat, a senior, said it felt great to be leading after the first round.

He carded a 72 last Friday, which included an eagle on No. 5.

“It’s good to know that I did my job for that day,” he said. “It was a great feeling and very satisfying.

I managed the pressure and the stress really well being in the lead.”

Yamat had no idea he was trailing Li—who birdied four of the first nine holes on Saturday—by

three strokes at the turn because he wasn’t playing in the same foursome as the eventual state champion. Li shot a 33 and Yamat a 36.

“I tried my best to play aggressive,” he said. “It wasn’t happening today. I’m sure everyone at my school is proud and I made my school proud.

Second is great place to be, but it’s not No. 1.”

It goes without saying that Maine East coach Tony Montesano thinks Yamat did the school proud.

“It’s great for Orion, great for our school and great for our community,” Montesano said.

“When something like this happens it’s something we really get excited about it. I know the student body knew about it.

People knew that he advanced (to state). We definitely knew it was the end of an era when he putted out on (No.) 18 (on Saturday).”

Yamat didn’t play for the Demons his sophomore season, choosing instead to concentrate on his academics, but he continued to compete in offseason tournaments. He went downstate after re-joining the squad last year and finished in a tie for 31st overall.

Last summer, Yamat won the AJCA/Canada Junior Golf Association Junior Championship in Ontario. He said he would like to continue to play golf at an Ivy League school after graduating

Dons’ win sets up huge game Friday at Carmel By mike sandrolini sports reporter

mike@buglenewspapers.com @Voyager_Sport

PHOTO By mike sandrolini

Tyler Tsagalis and Notre Dame face Carmel Friday with a playoff berth on the line.

It’s been do or die in recent weeks for the Dons, who’ve needed to win each of their remaining games in order to become postseason eligible.

Well, Notre Dame once again took care of business last Friday with 35-7 victory over visiting Marian (1-7). Now the stage is set for what will be another win or go home scenario for Notre

Dame (4-4, 3-3), which goes on the road Friday to face Carmel (5-4, 4-2).

“We’d like to be in a little bit better position, but we’re still in the hunt,” said Notre Dame coach Mike Hennessey. “That’s a playoff game we just played here (tonight). We have to win out and going up to Carmel and playing a playoff game up there. It should be a really good game.”

The Dons got on the scoreboard early and often vs. Marian, tallying 28 of their 35 points

during the first quarter.

Notre Dame fumbled on its first possession of the contest, but got the ball back after Marian went three-and-out. Marco Orlandi then broke off a 54-yard run that set up Jimmy Topping reaching the end zone from 11 yards out.

Quentin Grays, whose 80 yards led a trio of Notre Dame ball carriers with 60-or-more yards on the night, scored a 39yard TD run three minutes later

Friedman, doubles team qualify for state for Hawks By mike sandrolini sports reporter

mike@buglenewspapers.com @Voyager_Sport

Rain suspended action at the Glenbrook North girls tennis sectional Saturday morning, which forced the championship and third-place matches to be played on Monday.

However, Maine South automatically qualified junior Leigh Friedman and the sophomore doubles team of Marti Wind and Karina Czosnyka before the rains hit. It’ll be Friedman’s third year in a row at this weekend’s meet, while Wind and Czosnyka are making their second straight appearance.

Friedman defeated Glenbrook North’s Sharon Koretskov 6-0, 6-3 in her qualifying match and dominated her semifinal match against Breck Murphy of Glenbrook South, 6-0, 6-0. She faced Annie Emme from Glenbrook South in the semis. Although Friedman has lost twice to Emme this season, she was competitive against the GBS star in their match at the CSL South tournament.

Friedman credits her success this season to incorporating a different mental approach. She said she’s using her strengths and better pinpointing her opponents’ weaknesses.

“Nothing major on strokes, just more of a game plan,” she said.

Friedman isn’t setting any specific goals for herself at state.

“I’m excited to see who I’m playing (at state),” she said. “If I try my hardest, even if results don’t go well, it’ll help my game out in the long run.”

Maine South coach Andrea Tisler likes what she sees from her top singles player.

“She’s been playing well,” Tisler said. She’s gotten a bit more confident and uses more strategy and works the ball more, passing her opponents (with shots) instead of hitting up the middle.”

Wind and Czosnyka downed a team from Glenbrook South 6-1, 6-2 to qualify for state, and lost just their fourth match of the season in the semifinals to a duo from Glenbrook North. They played for third place on Monday.

“I think we’re more comfortable at net this year and our ground strikes are more solid,” Czonsnyka

Kamila Czosnyka (above) teamed with Marti Wind to qualify for state for Maine South. said. “Our whole game has gotten better.”

“I think we’re playing a lot stronger than last year,” Wind added. “We’ve had two years to practice and we’ve done a lot of tournaments together. We have definitely gotten better as a doubles team. We’re at the top of our game this season and think we’re doing pretty good.”

Specifically, they’ve become more aggressive at the net, according to Tisler.

“They know what to expect more since they’ve been at state,” the coach said. “At state, you need to be more aggressive at the net and you just can’t play baseline.

They’ve been practicing more at that and they’re definitely more aggressive this year than last year.”

Senior Randi Wind, the Hawks’ No. 2 singles player, gave Glenbrook North’s No. 1, Danielle Sokol, all she could handle, but Sokol denied Wind a state berth after winning their qualifying match, 7-5, 6-4.

CROSS COUNTRY CSL boys meet: Maine South (69 points) finished second to New Trier (36) at Saturday’s Central Suburban League championships.

Niles West was ninth (211) and Maine East 11th.

Seniors Henry Mierzwa (15:25.29) and Paul D’Ambrosia (15:32.36) set the pace for the

Hawks, finishing third and fourth overall, respectively. Aiden Gaskin, also a senior, placed among the top 20 with his 18th-place finish.

The top finisher for Niles West was Theo Beck, a senior, who grabbed 23rd place. Junior Eric Scott turned in the Wolves’ second-fastest time of the day.

James Liu, a junior, was Maine East’s No. 1 finisher.

•CSL girls meet: Niles West ended up sixth in the team standings (162 points), but senior Christine Mujica crossed the finish line second overall with a time of 18:08. Junior Nicole Camburn also ran strong for the Wolves, finishing in 16th place. Mimi Smith ran away from the field in 17:30.24 for New Trier, which placed first in the team standings.

Maine South put together a solid third-place showing, scoring 104 points. Junior Kalina Gardiner and freshman Olivia Niziolek were 13th and 19th, respectively, while junior Julia Sirvinskas was 21st. Sophomore Maura Lally also turned in a top 25 performance.

Senior Jessica Cuevas was the Demons’ highest placing runner.

Maine East was ninth in the team standings.

•ESCC boys meet: Notre Dame registered sixth in the team standings (166) and was led by Matt Contreras’ seventh-place finish (16:15.26). Connor Widelka and Travis Martin were the next Dons to cross the finish line.

huge | from page 12 to make it 14-0. Quarterback Tyler Tsagalis hit wideout Bill Byrne (three catches, 72 yards) in stride during the Dons’ next offensive series for a 40-yard strike three minutes later, and the rout was on.

“Offensively we’ve been on a roll and putting up a lot of points,” Tsagalis said. “The (offensive) line has some senior experience and has helped me. Our receivers, Billy and Matt (Curley), have helped me progress so much from where I started it’s been amazing.”

The Dons’ O-line includes seniors Brian Brand and Bill Bouddreau, and juniors Tom Simon, Matt Bernal and Patrick Dwyer. Brand, also a fixture on Notre Dame’s defensive line, made a head’s-up play with

less than two minutes to go in the first quarter.

Marian’s quarterback coughed up the football in the backfield, and Brand grabbed it in mid-air around the 35-yard line, then rumbled the rest of the way for a touchdown—his first-ever TD. “I was really upset at myself (from the previous play) and I told myself I’m going to make a big play and I guess that’s what I did,” he said. “It worked out pretty well.”

“It’s nice getting the big lead, and then when you get a defensive score, it kind of puts the icing on the cake,” Hennessey added. “You just never know. They’ve got quality athletes and they came back and scored a touchdown

state | from page 11 next spring.

“I just had so much fun in my high school career,” Yamat said.

“It’s definitely something I’ll miss, but it’s a predecessor to bigger and better things hopefully.”

MAINE SOUTH Speaking of doing a school proud, the girls golf team made Maine South and coach Jeff Hamann proud over the weekend by finishing ninth at the Class AA state tourney, held at Hickory Point Golf Club in Decatur. The Hawks totaled a two-round 698 at a team, while Hinsdale Central

huge | from page 13 (in the second quarter on a 72yard run by Cameron Thomas), and almost got another one at the end of the second quarter.

emerged as the state champ with a 634.

“Anytime you can say you’re in the top 10 in the state, it’s something to be very proud of,” Hamann said. “Regardless of how we played today, I told them before the round that I’m proud of them.

It doesn’t take away our regional and sectional championships. We had an unbelievable season and I was proud to coach them.”

The Hawks were sitting in seventh place following last Friday’s first round, and Hamann said the club was feeling confident it could fare better during the second round.

“They were in pretty good spirits last (Friday) night and feeling pretty good for today,” Hamann said. “It was a cool, windy day, but we were ready to go. Sometimes in golf things just don’t go your way. The putts weren’t falling and the bounces weren’t happening but we made sure we persevered through tough conditions.”

The Hawks say goodbye to five seniors who, in Hamann’s view, “Have taken our program as a group to new heights, raised expectations and raised the bar for future Hawk golfers.”

Leia Atas (84-83-165), and the Krall twins, Katie and Annie, leave

the program owning three of the top five career averages in school history. Katie (82-90-172) led the Hawks on Friday, and Annie (8986-175) had the Hawk’ third-best score of the weekend. Marissa Oshona (87-97-184) and Tina Piarowski (95-98-193) also finished their prep careers. Sophomore Kelly Maigler (97-101-198) will be the only Hawk with returning state experience in 2015.

“It’s very bittersweet; I can’t believe it’s over,” said Atas, who has received scholarship offers from Illinois State and Cleveland State. “All good things have to come to an end. I wouldn’t trade it

for anything. It’s really been great and we went out with a bang.”

On the boys’ side, the Hawks’ two state representatives, senior Anthony Celiano and junior Tim Zelek, completed their rounds at The Den on Saturday. Celiano (8381-164) finished in a three-way tie for 76th place and Zelek (8388-171) was in a three-way tie for 101st place.

“It was nice to go out going to state,” Celiano said. “There aren’t many kids that are fortunate enough to play down there. I definitely had the experience, and it’s something that I’ll never forget.”

But our defense held up and we got a lot of guys in. That doesn’t happen too often. It was a good night.”

The Dons answered Thomas’ touchdown back when Grays

went 18 yards to the end zone with 3:48 to go before intermission.

Orlandi and Evan Reid finished with 69 and 68 yards, respectively, on the ground for the Dons. Defensive highlights included Jake Barzowski’s pass interception during the second quarter, a fumble recover from Kieran Boyle in the fourth quarter, and tackles-for-loss from Topping, Matt Szyska, Mike Sabatino and Dan McGinley.

Notre Dame now turns its attention to Friday’s allimportant clash with Carmel, which can clinch an automatic playoff berth by defeating the Dons.

“We’ve been putting it all together toward the end of the season,” Brand said. “I think we

can come up with a huge win and make a good run in the playoffs.”

“Carmel, they’re a great team,” Tsagalis said. “We’ve just got to keep having great practices and keep the ball rolling. We’ve got to go up there and get a tough win.”

•Maine South, after taking a 28-12 halftime lead at Evanston last Friday, put the game away during the second half and coasted to a 46-19 win. The loss for the Wildkits (3-5) eliminates them from postseason play for the first time since 2009.

Brian Collis threw touchdown passes to four different receivers: Jon Arenas (29 yards), Tommy Bazarek (21), Vinny Labus (12) and George Sargeant (4). Justin Fahey also scored twice for the

undefeated Hawks (8-0, 4-0) on runs of 1 and 3 yards.

•Niles West hung with New Trier well into the third quarter of its CSL South game vs. the Trevians last Friday, but New Trier kept the Wolves at bay for a 35-21 win.

Quarterback Tommy Galaopoulos scooted in for a 5-yard TD run late in the third quarter for the Wolves that trimmed New Trier’s lead to 28-21. Niles West (5-3, 2-2) also pulled to within seven of the Trevians (7-1, 3-1) on two occasions earlier in the game: 14-7 in the second quarter on a 4-yard Brandon Costantino run, and 21-14 following Galaopoulos’ 48-yard scoring pass to Matthew Metz.

i would recommend not loaning money to friends or family in the future. sometimes things work out and everyone“s happy. but in most cases it changes the dynamics of the relationship.

By dAve rAMsey

The big question is whether or not you’ve already agreed to pay him for the work. Another is how he views the situation. In his mind, he may just be helping a friend and looking at it as he still owes you the money.

If you don’t already have an agreement, my advice would be to ask him what his expectations are. Just talk to him, find out what he’s thinking and figure out what seems fair to you both. The big thing at this point is that you’re on the same page. If you have already agreed on a certain amount, and the value of the work is pretty close to the amount you loaned him, you might talk to him about the possibility of knocking out the debt that way. He could work off the debt while helping you on this project.

There’s really no right or wrong answer to this question, Charlie.

However, I would recommend not loaning money to friends or family in the future. Sometimes things work out and everyone’s happy.

But in most cases it changes the dynamics of the relationship. The Bible says that the borrower is a slave to the lender, and there’s a lot of truth to that statement financially and emotionally.

I’ve seen situations like this go bad and even ruin friendships.

It sounds like you two are good buddies and have a great bond, but if someone close to you really needs help, and you’re not enabling bad financial behavior in the process, just make the money a gift. Sooner or later this kind of thing will mess up a relationship.
