we had over 6 inches of rain.” Village officials are asking residents to assist the village of Westmont as it looks to be issued relief funds from the state and federal government. Larry McIntyre, media relations coordinator with the village, asked that residents with any storm-related damage fill out an online form on the village’s website, www. westmont.il.gov. “We have until noon [Wednesday] to turn in all damage assessment data,” McIntyre said. “If we want to have the possibility of getting relief funds, this is the first step.”

WESTMONT – By the time the torrential rains left town Thursday, Mother Nature had dropped in upward of 7 inches of water on Westmont, leaving behind massive floods. Westmont, along with Lisle and Downers Grove, were among the hardest hit in the west suburbs; as countless residences and businesses flooded, causing water damage and closing roads and schools. Westmont joined DuPage County and a host of other towns, including Lisle, Lombard, Elmhurst, Addison and Warrenville, in declaring states of emergency. Declaring a state of emergency allows communities to eventually seek state or federal funding if and when it becomes available. As of Monday, all roads were re-opened in Westmont, according to Police Chief Tom Mulhearn. “Now we’re dealing with the aftermath and cleanup,” Mulhearn said Monday. Mulhearn said there were no injuries among village personnel assisting during and after the storm, nor were there any residents with injuries. There were several homes that had to be evacuated because of flooding, he said, and two lightning strikes caused minor fires. “And we responded to several flooded streets to help people out of their cars,” Mulhearn added. “The biggest thing was this storm had such a large amount of rain in such a short amount of time. According to our weather-monitoring devices, over a 24-hour period

Are You Starting to See Excessive Dog Hair in Your Home? It’s beginning … the annual shedding of the winter coat of your beloved dog. The winter coat that your pet put on for the winter is beginning to release and allow for the summer coat to come in. This can be a minor inconvenience for some, or a downright blizzard of blowing dog hair for some dog owners – depending on the type of breed and coat. We have an awesome solution for you!!!!! We will give your dog a full spring cleaning treatment using the Furminator De-Shedding system.
This system is specially designed to dramatically reduce the amount of hair you will have in your home. This de-shedding system is a multistep process that uses special de-shedding tools, shampoo, conditioner and drying. This service normally costs anywhere from $20 to $40 extra on top of a regular grooming. But for this ad only, we are offering this service with a regular grooming for FREE. Just to show you the math, a regular grooming runs about $43, and with the de-shedding system, add another $20. This is a total cost of $63 in value. You get it for FREE. What are the catches? Only one… We are offering this to new customers to Belle Aire Grooming. If you have not had the chance to try our services, we would like the
opportunity to win you over with this fantastic offer. If you are new to us, give us a call at
630-969-3145 to book your appointment. We have given away over 65 free groomings in the last three months and people are just loving what we’re doing for them. The first grooming is on us, so give us a call today because we really do book up fast because we only have a couple of spots open a day. Finally, hopefully, we have seen the end of old man winter and we can start enjoying a new spring. I wish you and your pet all the best this new spring time. Warmest regards, John O’ Driscoll Owner Belle Aire Kennels & Grooming.

Last week, she already was answering the phone at the new location – 630-719-1111 – and is taking orders for pickup at opening. “I’m just thrilled. We’re getting a ton of welcome back emails.

Ask Dr. Webster
Q: How much does what we eat affect our dental health? A: You are what you eat, they say. Dr. Weston A. Price, a dentist and a pioneer nutritionist, in 1939 published a book, “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration,” in which he reported that “primitive” societies that observed their indigenous diets generally had nicely shaped jaws holding an abundance of beautiful teeth. All this without the benefit of any modern dental care. As “modern” foods – particularly white flour and sugar – were introduced to those groups, dental problems ensued, including the previously almost unknown problem of cavities. The so-called primitive diets, he found, were rich in calcium and other minerals as well as essential fat-soluble vitamins – like A, D, E and K. Their diets also were rich in butter, fish and eggs. It remains true today that a nutritious diet is essential to good dental health. And it’s especially important for pregnant women. Fresh fruits and vegetables, especially the green leafy variety, prepared to retain their nutritional value, are especially good foods for dental health. Steer clear of processed foods and avoid sugar and white flour and the junk food that is so prevalent in our society. Talk with your dentist about the foods you should eat – and the food you should avoid – to keep a healthy mouth and smile.

WESTMONT – Cupcake queen Diane Eenigenberg has a simple message for the Westmont community: “We’re back.” Eenigenberg will re-open her popular La Petite Sweet bakery this week in a new location at 15 S. Cass Ave., months after closing up shop and talking of a move to Naperville. The move to Naperville never happened, she explained, and she’s glad it didn’t. “This is home,” she said, referring to the Westmont community. “This new loca-
mer location, 31 N. Cass Ave., Eenigenberg planned to move her business amid issues with the former building’s owner. “We slammed the brakes on [moving to] Naperville after we heard a spot could open here, and I thought I could be patient enough to wait for a space to open and it did,” she said. The storefront previously housed Cafe Khalkedon. What’s in store for Eenigenberg’s new shop? “The same great sweets. We’re expanding our gluten-free line, giving it an entire division on its own. We’ll still have fabulous coffee, pastries, cookies, custom cookies, custom cakes,” she said,

Q & A with the Hearing Doctor Q: My Dad got hearing aids about 4 weeks ago. He is having trouble adjusting. What can I do to help? A: Sometimes patients struggle to adjust to their new hearing aids. hey may have diiculty Dr. Terri Lightbody adjusting to (630) 580-5777 the “physical” aspect or the “psychological” aspect of the hearing aids. Adults view hearing loss as another sign of aging— another loss. Coupled with other physical failings, the hearing aids may be viewed by the wearer as a sign of weakness or disability, not a sign of independence. Sometimes they feel a loss of youth and power. Denial and anger are commonly seen as they grieve this “loss”. his is one of the main reasons some resist getting hearing aids. he family’s support is important during this process to help move the person to accept help. With hearing loss, conversation and social interaction becomes harder. Suferers oten choose isolation over struggling and failing to keep up. he longer one waits to treat hearing loss,
Browsing titles
the harder it is to adjust to the introduction of louder sounds. More importantly, the long term efects of untreated hearing loss on the mind includes anxiety, depression and dementia. Be encouraging and supportive. Your Dad should be wearing the hearing aids most of their awake time. He should wear his hearing aids even when he may be home alone because stimulation from sounds at home i.e. cabinet doors closing, toilet lushing, TV sound, etc. are vital to the adjustment process. Your family should remember that hearing aids do not provide “super” hearing. You may still need to help him hearing optimally in certain listening environments. He may need to sit closer to the person speaking, go to a restaurant that has less noise. It is best to get his attention before having a conversation so he can be ready to listen. he good news is that today’s advanced hearing instruments can make a profound diference and dramatically improve a person’s quality of life. It was Helen Keller that stated that given a choice between sight and hearing, she would pick hearing because that’s her connection to the world.

Have you put off doing your kitchen long enough? Is this the year you have vowed to do something with your cabinets? Have the horror stories of kitchen remodeling made you afraid to even think about it? With prices approaching and surpassing $100,000 for full kitchen remodeling, it is no wonder the Average Joe and Jane feel a little overwhelmed. Enter Kitchen Tune-Up! This locally owned (Downers Grove) National Franchise has been offering minor kitchen remodels for 19 years. Marty Ceranec, the owner, has won numerous awards from KTU for Sales, Customer Service, and Creativity. He received the highest award in 2000 when he won National Franchise of the Year and in addition, is a two time Angies List Super Service Award Winner. We offer Kitchen Solutions for Any Budget. “I think some people get sticker shock when they look at the price of redoing an entire kitchen and are overwhelmed. We work with clients every day who have the same anxieties,” says Marty. KTU can provide anything from the Signature Kitchen Tune-Up to a full blown design and remodel. “The bulk of our work last year was in refacing and door replacement. Door replacement doesn’t change the color, but replaces old particle board doors with new solid raised panel doors utilizing concealed hinges. Refacing, on the other hand, enables one to change their oak cabinets to maple cabinets without

buying all new cabinetry,” said Marty. “These two options also save landfill space because we are saving the boxes.” Why have they been so successful? “I think it’s because we follow our trust points (below). Simple things like showing up on time and returning phone calls which is often lacking in the remodeling industry. I have chosen to keep the business small so I am involved in every job with my three long time installers. By doing this we have become well known as experts in minor kitchen remodeling.” Kitchen Tune-Up also offers cabinetry upgrades such as glass doors, tipout trays, soft-closing dovetail drawers, and full extension rollouts as well as counters in laminate, solid surfaces, granite and quartz (Cambria) “The Best Counter Top Around.” When questioned about any regrets, Marty replies, “We often get calls to update the kitchen when the owner is ready to sell. We always wonder why they didn’t do it earlier so they could have enjoyed it sooner.”

DOWNERS GROVE – The letters between Gerda Nothmann Luner and her family, separated by the Holocaust in 1939, are heartbreaking when read with historical hindsight, and yet the love and optimism apparent in the correspondence can’t help but highlight the human spirit. The letters show a young Gerda, then 12, finding spiritual guidance from her father, remembering inside jokes with her mother, enjoying her younger sister Vera’s sense of humor and awaiting a reunion. “And as God’s will, everything that now seems difficult will seem a blessing – and we, (your father and I), will then experience the pleasure that you give us, and we will be happy,” Gerda’s mother wrote in one letter. “When we reunite, we will

happily carry a lighter load.” The family wrote each other often, beginning when parents Max and Adele sent Gerda and Vera to live with separate foster families in Holland when Berlin became too dangerous for Jews. The letters, which were saved by a family friend during the Holocaust, and Gerda’s written memoir of her survival of several concentration camps are collected in “Gerda’s Story: Memoir of a Holocaust Survi-
vor,” published by Elmhurst College. A batch of 400 copies of the book are being printed this year, the biggest run since it first was printed in 2002. Proceeds go to benefit the Elmhurst College Holocaust Education Project. Gerda would be the only member of her immediate family to survive, and the last letter from her parents arrived at her foster family’s residence May 3,

1943. Her family was “about to leave for the trains when (mom) wrote that last letter,” Gerda wrote in her memoir. “They went straight to Auschwitz, but I did not know that then. I only learned it for sure after I myself was in Auschwitz, 15 months later.” A month after that final letter, Gerda was sent to Vught, the first of several concentration camps she would survive before her rescue in 1945. At Vught, she was fortuitously selected to work for Philips, assembling radio tubes in a camp factory. The Dutch electronics company fed their workers better and spared them from hard labor. And when Gerda and other members of the “Philips group” were moved to Auschwitz, it was their value to Philips that kept them from the gas chambers. Her memoir reveals the gradual descent from optimism to numbness, to the acceptance of imminent death as she is moved from camp to camp, narrowly avoiding extermination by random luck, chance and coincidence. When she finally was rescued in 1945, she was near death. She weighed about 70

Building, tax season in Downers Grove Township With the onset of spring and summer, the building season is upon us. Whether building a new home, putting on an addition or remodeling, when you apply for a building permit, the assessor’s office receives a copy. We also receive copies of demolition permits. This lets us know changes are being made to the property and either some or all may change the assessed value of your property. Each property owner who takes out a permit is sent a letter from the assessor’s office that explains the process of monCOMMUNITY itoring construction. This VOICE may include an interior inTheresa spection to note the number Cockrell of baths, fireplaces, etc., as well as taking measurements of the new construction. Our letter includes the names and photographs of our deputy assessor field personnel who periodically will stop at the building site along with an explanation as to the type of identification that each carries. We ask you to inform family members and child guardians of this letter and photographs. Please, before letting someone in your home, check their credentials. If you’re unsure, call the assessor’s office at 630719-6630 or the police. DuPage County Treasurer Gwen Henry will mail the 2012 tax bills on or about May 1. Tax bills normally are paid in two equal installments June 1 and Sept. 1. Please review your bill. Make sure you have the appropriate exemptions applied to your bill. If you reside in your own home, you should receive the residential homestead exemption. If you are 65 or older, you also should receive the senior exemption and possibly the senior freeze for those having a total household income of $55,000 or less. If you have completed new construction, you may receive the Home Improvement Exemption. It deducts the assessment attributable to the new improvement, up to $25,000, from the total assessment prior to tax bill calculation. This four-year exemption is automatically applied if eligible. Other exemptions are listed on our website: www.dgtownship.com. If you think there is a problem with your bill, please call the Downers Grove Township Assessor’s Office at 630-719-6630 or email us at assessor@dgtownship.com.

DOWNERS GROVE – Erin Gentile of Downers Grove stepped onto a Boston stage to compete in the World Irish Dancing Championships on March 24 and won a ranking of 31st in a field of 144 contestants. Training Erin Gentile w i t h T r i n i t y Irish Dancers, the 17-year-old had qualified to compete the final week of March by working her way to a ranking of 21st nationally and 10th for the Midwest. “Erin had a wonderful experience at the World Championships by reaching her goal to place in the top 50 this year,” said her mother, Eileen Gentile. As a performer, Erin Gentile headed to Spain in 2011 with Trinity II, the organization’s international performance group. Last summer,
she traveled with the ensemble to Montana and Iowa for Irish festivals. For Gentile, who has been dancing for nine years with Trinity, this was her fourth foray into the World Irish Dancing Championships. Echoing her high-energy footwork, Gentile keeps busy with a range of scholastic and sports activities. She attends Downers Grove South High School, where she is on the honor roll, was inducted into the National Honor Society in January, is involved in the P.E. leadership program and is a J. Kyle Braid leader – last summer, attending a weeklong conference in Colorado for the J. Kyle Braid Leadership Foundation. Gentile is a varsity member of the Downers Grove South cross-country team. She took fourth place in the West Suburban Gold JV Cross Country Conference 2012 and was selected as a team captain for the 2013 cross-country team.

The terrorists did their homework this time, which comes to no surprise to me since I predicted this after 9/11. They didn’t pick on the elite. They picked on the average runner who worked hard just to qualify for Boston. We had to run at least one 20-mile training run and run a previous marathon in one calendar year in a specific time to
qualify. We are not elite. We are just there. I will speak for myself and my colleagues and say this is the most happiest and exciting day of our lives! YES! We made Boston!

pounds and needed several months of recuperation in a hospital to regain her strength. Gerda emigrated to the U.S. in 1946, and later married Charles Luner in 1953, with whom she had two daughters. The family lived in Downers Grove from 1962 until 1998. She died in 1999. Charles Luner said Gerda was willing to talk about her experience, but she would have to be asked first. “She didn’t voluntarily say, ‘I was in the war, I did this, and this happened,’ ” he said. “She didn’t like to be considered a survivor – like having a degree ... She didn’t want to have ‘survivor’ after her name, because it was an accident that she survived.”

Her memoir, which forms the first half of the book, was written in one feverish week in 1978 after seeing a televised miniseries about the Holocaust. “She saw that, and she figured she wanted to leave a record for the children,” Luner said. The single-spaced manuscript remained solely for the family until faculty at Elmhurst College encouraged Luner to share the story with the public. The letters also were dramatized by DePauw University in 2010. “I want to let people know what happened,” Luner said. “And the more stories that are told, the better. There’s a lot of deniers of the Holocaust. And the personal stories that are well-written and authentic, they make a difference.”

DOWNERS GROVE – Downtown Downers Grove is home to a new boutique offering artisan-made women’s accessories such as jewelry, scarves, bags and belts, as well as home décor items. Amy Brown opened the store, Evelyn Jane Boutique, this month in the former Wedding Etc. space at 1008 Curtiss St. Brown said she was inspired years ago by her college friends who made handmade jewelry, and after more than a dozen years in management and merchandizing for Crate & Barrel, she developed the business confidence to open her own store. “I always had the dream of opening a shop pretty much right after college,” the Downers Grove native said. “I never really knew if it would come to fruition or not, but it always was a dream of mine.” Many items in the store come from Chicago-area artists and crafters such as Juliet Jewelry, Moira K. Lime, Substance Design and others, she said. She finds the artists and crafters largely through word-of-mouth, but also by going to the Merchandise Mart. “So there’s lot of local representation,” she said. “There’s a nice variety and a nice range of price points as well.” Brown now lives in West-

DOWNERS GROVE – Westbrook Market closed its Downers Grove location this month in the Meadowbrook Shopping Center, 2065 63rd St. Owner Joe Kumkoski could not be reached for comment, but a manager at the grocery’s Westmont location said only the Downers Grove store was closing. The Meadowbrook Shopping Center was bought this
year by Frontline Real Estate Partners through bankruptcy proceedings of the strip mall’s previous owners, Qualteq Inc. According to the DuPage County Recorder of Deeds office, Frontline took possession of the deed April 1. “We absolutely plan to do substantial [building] improvements, and we think we can take an important asset in the community and make it better,” Frontline President and CEO Mitchell Kahn said.

BERWYN – Something horrible has happened in Berwyn’s historic Train District. Horrorbles, Berwyn’s magnet for the twisted among us who love all things horror and sci-fi related, has moved to 6729 Stanley Ave., from its old location at 6729 W. Roosevelt Road. There now are six rooms of posters, autographs, action figures and more – all testament to the genre that made theater-goers scream with terror between mouthfuls of Milk Duds and popcorn. Can’t live without the autograph of Patricia Neal, the love interest in “The Day the Earth Stood Still”? They have it. How about the very luscious Tura Satana of “Astro Zombies” fame? Look no further. And now, let us bow our heads, how about the monster of monsters himself, Boris Karloff? Believe it or not, yes.

Horrorbles new location is at 6729 Stanley Ave. in the Berwyn Train District. weird, a giant, hairy spider hanging on the wall should not come as a surprise. Action figures, from seven to 18-inches tall stand ready to drain the blood from your veins or turn your brain into cream of wheat. There are movie props as well. How about a little poker with the deck of cards used in the famous shootout scene of “Inglourious Basterds,” or some shadow puppets used in the filming of “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”? Horrorble’s is owned by John Aranza, owner of Autre Monde restaurant in Berwyn and aficionado of all things horrific. He is an authority on the subject, and something of a historian, who can find the most
obscure collectibles and put together signings with some of the monster and sci-fi elite. Wilberg is something of an authority on the subject, as well, and with careful consideration, answered some of those questions that have stymied academics for years:
Whats the scariest movie ever made? “The movie that creeps me out is Steven King’s ‘Pet Sematary.’ That still creeps me out. That and ‘The Exorcist.’ ”
Who would win in a fight, Dracula or Alien? “Good question. I’d say Alien might win with acid blood. I don’t think Dracula
would have a taste for it.”
Wolfman or Predator? “I’d go with Wolfman. I don’t think the Predator would have a silver bullet with him. He’s more high tech than that. The only thing that will kill him is a silver bullet.” Horrorbles is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. The store has a comprehensive website for shopping and events information available online at www.horrorbles. com, Facebook and Twitter. Information is available at 708-484-7370.
Big Hurt microbrewery coming to Berwyn SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BERWYN – Big Hurt Brew House will transform the vacant historic bank at 6801 W. Cermak Road into a new destination for Chicagoland craft beer enthusiasts and sports fans alike. The Berwyn City Council approved a redevelopment agreement for Big Hurt Brew House microbrewery, sports bar and grill. “Establishing a microbrew operation is an ideal use for
this unique property and having Heidner Properties and Big Hurt Beer in the project will take it to an extraordinary level,” said Anthony Griffin, executive director of the Berwyn Development Corporation (BDC), who also structured the deal for the city of Berwyn. The flagship brew house will be operated by Frank “Big Hurt” Thomas, legendary Chicago White Sox first baseman and heavy hitter, who launched his line of specialty brew – Big Hurt Beer – in fall
2011. The brand currently offers an Imperial Lager and recently launched MVP, an All-American lager. Mayor Robert J. Lovero called the Big Hurt Brew House “a dynamic addition to Cermak Road both for residents and as an attraction for visitors.” Lovero added the development will grow the momentum already created with Berwyn Gateway Plaza to the west. Big Hurt Brew House will brew for on-site operations and
distribution to other retail locations. The restaurant, beer garden and sports bar will offer a family-friendly environment with planned promotions such as athlete appearances and onsite live broadcasts of sporting events. The development team, led by Rick Heidner, currently is in the design phase with a completion date estimated for late 2013, or early 2014. Information can be obtained through the BDC by calling 708-788-8100.

Tips for newcomers to the game of golf F
ew hobbies can be as enjoyable one moment and as frustrating the next as golf. Golfers know a great putt can be quickly followed by a bad tee shot, and maintaining their composure through the highs and lows of the game is a key to success on the links. Maintaining that composure isn’t always easy, even for the professionals. It’s even more diicult for beginners, who quickly learn the game of golf involves more than just spending sunny weekend afternoons on pristine golf courses. In fact, golf can be quite demanding, and beginners would be wise to heed a few tips before hitting the course. • Don’t commit to an expensive set of clubs right off the bat. Golf clubs can be very expensive, so beginners should buy an afordable secondhand set of clubs so they can get the hang of what they like before spending a lot of money. Visit a pro shop and explain that you are just a beginner. he shop will likely make some valuable

suggestions and might even let you try out a pair of clubs. In addition, many driving ranges allow customers to rent clubs, and this can be a great and inexpensive way to ind the right clubs for you. • Take lessons. Even the very best at self-teaching might ind it extremely diicult to become a self-taught golfer. When irst trying your hand at golf, take some lessons and don’t expect to be playing 18 holes any time soon. Before hitting the course, where you might be discouraged and you might frustrate those goling behind you, learn the fundamentals by taking a few lessons at the driving range. Learn from a professional, who won’t ofer you any hidden secrets to goling glory (there aren’t any) but will ofer sound advice on the game’s fundamentals. • Take the game home with you. Beginners can even take advantage of golf ’s vast popularity by taking the game home with them. his doesn’t mean building a Continued on next page >>>

Restaurant reviews
Mécénat serves up bistro charm WESTERN SPRINGS – A warm bistro environment with decor nods to Europe is the setting for Mécénat’s eclectic menu exploring global culinary influences. An enticing aroma greeted us at the door of the Western Springs restaurant on a recent Sunday afternoon, and while we perused the beer and wine lists, the server brought us deliciously crusty french bread, a simple, but great first impression. The wine list is extensive, given that Mécénat (pronounced: ma-say-nah) also operates retail wine sales several nights a week. The soup of the day was butternut squash with apple, but we opted to share a salad of baby spinach with the unusual twist of honey jalapeño vinaigrette – not too spicy, but definitely a shakeup from the norm. It combined fennel and creamy chunks of avocado with a colorful interplay of grape tomato halves as garnish, along with bite-size fritters, whose crisp exterior gave way to warm goat cheese. Outstanding. “Completely different, and there’s a zip to the dressing,” raved my dining companion. The entrees tempted with Grilled Alaskan Halibut with soy glaze, baby bok choy and wild mushroom dumplings; Mushroom Stuffed Filet with port wine sauce, garlic smashed potatoes, Brussels

Entrees range from $12 to $28. My companion was intrigued by the Midnight Sandwich – actually a variation of the Cuban – prepared with pork, chicken, asparagus and housemade pickle on
melt-in-your-mouth ciabatta. He paired it with a tasty Lagunitas DogTown pale ale. Available on draft, it was served in a wide-mouth jar for a fun presentation. The accompanying french fries are my favorite kind: thin and crispy, served hot and fresh. The perfect guilty pleasure was prepared with a sprinkle of herbs. The family at a neighboring table
selected what was obviously a familiar hit: a double order of the truffle-infused fries. From the small plate menu, I picked the beef sliders on pretzel bun, expecting a burger, but the trio turned out to be sliced beef, nicely flavored by grilled sweet red peppers and caramelized onions, and given a little zing with horseradish cream and a dip into the generous serv-

ing of au jus. Another guilty pleasure was dipping the last of the french bread. Too full for dessert, we sadly had to forgo our knowledgeable server’s recommendations: an in-house prepared strudel, a brownie specialty, and the creme brulee she called “fantastic,” whose flavor changes weekly. Displayed around the room are framed photographs of Western Springs taken by the owner’s daughter, Mécénat’s manager. Hand-stenciling and faux stone designs on walls conjure a bistro getaway, and a divider separates the dining room from the bar, with live music featured weekends. In homage to the wines, sleek sconces mimic the curve of magnum bottles.

like we can compete with any team in the state.” In addition to Doll’s two event wins at Plano Saturday, Michael Robertson won the 300 hurdles (42.6) and was second in the 110 hurdles and pole vault, while the 4 x 800 relay comprised of Nick Strobl, Kris Pierce, Mitch Perrotta and Danny LoGiurato won in 8:42.32. Nate Novota had runner-up finishes in both the 1,600- and 3,200-meter runs and Westmont won the team title with 144 points, a sign of good things to come. “We’ve never been successful at Plano,” Kaplan said. “Last year we were sixth and that was our highest finish. The big difference Friday and this whole season has been the young guys and the No. 2 guys in each event are getting it done for us. “And these guys are all such good friends on and off the track. If someone has a bad day they want to pick up the slack. They’re invested in each other.” The Sentinels still have three big invites left on the schedule: Chicago Christian (Friday), the Lisle Carlin Nalley Invite (May 4) and the Interstate Eight Conference meet (May 9). The clear-cut goal for Doll and his teammates is to win every meet from here on out. “I wish I could say we were
WMP
WESTMONT — Tim Doll finished second in the state in the 400-meter dash last spring. This spring is shaping up to be even better thanks to a year of experience and some additional offseason training. “I used to play basketball in the winter, but this is the first year I went to Get Fast in Willowbrook, and it’s been outstanding,” said Doll, a Westmont junior. “That’s the reason my 100 and 200 times have dropped.” Doll’s offseason work was evident to head coach Rainy Kaplan when the Sentinels’ indoor season began. “He came into this season so much stronger and much more confident,” Kaplan said. During the Sentinels’ outdoor season, Doll has had two individual event wins in the Lisle Mega Meet (200 and 400 dashes), Seneca (100 and 200 dashes) and, last weekend, Plano (200 and 400) invites. The 4 x 400 relay he anchors won titles at Seneca and Plano. Bringing home an allstate finish last spring was satisfying, but so far 2013 is rivaling 2012 in terms of pure enjoyment. “This year we’re doing it more as a team. We were a young team last year and now we’re a year older so we know what the outdoor season is all about,” Doll said. “This year the biggest thing is how good our team has been. Maybe I do well and maybe I don’t, but the team goes to every meet with the ability to win. We feel

Downers Grove North senior Lucas Fisher delivers a pitch against York April 1 at Legion Field.
DOWNERS GROVE — Before the season, Chad Isaacson talked about the defensive strength of his infield. Early in the season, he talked about picking up timely hits, and now the Downers Grove North baseball coach has another area of strength to discuss. Troy Southard, Mike O’Malley and Lucas Fisher, the team’s West Suburban Silver conference starting pitchers, have helped the Trojans to three series victories and an 8-1 league record. “We’ve got three guys classified as our conference starters, and all three had varsity experience last year,” Isaacson said. “Troy and Mike pitched in conference games last year and Lucas pitched in our crossovers. They came in ready.” With Southard, O’Malley and Fisher leading the way on the mound, the Trojans are 11-2 overall and in the thick of the WSS race with Oak Park-River Forest, Glenbard West and Lyons Township. They took two of three games from

LT earlier in this season and control their own destiny with series against West (April 27-29) and OPRF (May 4-6) still left on the schedule. The trio of conference starters don’t necessarily light up the radar guns with overwhelming velocity on their pitches, but they know their strengths and pitch to those strengths. “I keep the ball low, mostly low and away,” Southard said. “We’re not overpowering guys but we’re mechanically sound. I’m not going to blow it by anybody, so I do it with my offspeed stuff and my location.” “They pitch to their strengths, which is not giving up any freebies and knowing they have guys behind them that can glove the ball,” Isaacson said. “All three pound the zone.” Fisher earned the win Monday
as North completed a series sweep of Proviso West with an 11-0, five-inning win. Southard won the first game 14-2 in five innings and O’Malley picked up the 19-1 five-inning win in Game 2. Their success and the team’s to this point is no surprise to any of them. “We’re more excited than surprised,” Southard said. “We knew we had a lot of returning kids and we knew we’d be able to get it done, but there’s still a lot of season left.” Danny Miller, Dane Zarnowski and Matt Bohanon comprise the rest of the starting rotation. All six pitchers hope to maintain their success as North eyes a conference title. Isaacson won’t let them lose focus. Even after playing nearly flawless ball in the sweep of Proviso West, he was discussing ways his team can improve. “I told them we have to continue to focus on the details and understand what we need to better,” the coach said. “We still have a long way to go. We’re not even halfway through the schedule. We’ve done a lot of good things, but we have to continue to get better.”
State-title pursuit trumps Mustangs’ conference title race By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE — Downers Grove South’s baseball team is in the thick of the conference race, but it’s not discussing it. The Mustangs took two games from West Suburban Gold-rival Addison Trail on Saturday, in the process improving to 14-3 overall and 10-1 in WSG play. They remain ahead of Hinsdale South with two more WSG series left — April 27-29 against Proviso East and May 4-6 against Willowbrook. But winning a conference title isn’t really part of the discussion for South. “It’s never really been a big concern,” South coach Darren Orel said. “Every game is of equal importance and that’s what I try to get across. We never set up our pitching like that. Whoever’s turn it is in the rotation is who pitches.” Orel did say that winning conference is probably in the back of the minds of his players, but the team’s goal is to win a state title which is why South’s 2001 football state title is part of the conversation.
Big number 110: Runs scored this season by Downers Grove South’s baseball team, an average of 6.4 per game
“I remind them the year we won state in football we didn’t win conference,” Orel said. “It’s great to win conference, but regionals and sectionals are what we’re shooting for.” South pounded out 23 hits Saturday against the Blazers and the pitching yielded just six hits as the Mustangs won 12-0 in Game 1 and 9-3 in Game 2. That’s the kind of combination that will help the Mustangs win the conference title as well as postseason titles. “The pitching has been consistent — we’ve only had one truly bad game on the mound — and the we’ve been swinging the bats well,” Orel said. “We’ve been consistent on the mound and now we’re swinging the bats better, so hopefully we can continue that.”

Sentinels dominate Plano, improve to 5-2 in league WESTMONT — Playing its first game Monday in nearly a week, Westmont High School’s softball team picked up a 7-1 road win at Plano. It was the Sentinels’ first game since April 16, and they improved to 8-5 on the year and 5-2 in the Interstate Eight Conference. Kristen Skala earned the pitching win, striking out 15 batters, and Skyler Poel, Maria Prete and Vanessa Possidoni played solid defense behind Skala. At the plate, Skala went 2-for-4 and Susie Sternard went 3-for-4 with three RBIs. Catherine Krolak was 2-for-3 with an RBI and Amanda Anderson finished 1-for-3 with an RBI. Westmont also won in its previous game, holding on to beat Sandwich 7-6 in an Interstate Eight road game April 16. The Sentinels swept the two-game series after winning 10-2 in the first game. Sternard struck out five while earning the pitching win, and she helped her own cause at the plate by going 4-for-4 with four RBIs. Prete finished 3-for3 with three RBIs.

maintain their winning ways. “The guys are playing out of their minds,” Cocks said. “They really showed me something Tuesday against Sandwich. We were facing a Division I pitcher throwing in the low 90s, and we pitched well and played defense well and got the one run we needed to win, which is something we did not do last year. That was huge momentum going into Saturday’s finish.” Zach Moran earned the complete game pitching vic-
tory in the 1-0 win with Donovan’s double plating Robert Kokoszka for the game’s only run. Westmont was scheduled to play six games this week, including a home doubleheader Saturday against Chicago Noble Street Charter. Cocks was hoping the weather would cooperate and allow the Sentinels to get every game in. “When you’ve won seven in a row and you’re clicking on all cylinders, you want to keep playing,” Cocks said. “Hopefully we can do that.”

Winner by knockout By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE — Before an amateur bout early in his career, the ring announcer mistakenly introduced Roy Navarro as Ray Navarro. It’s likely that mistake won’t happen again anytime soon. Making his professional boxing debut Saturday night at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Ind., Navarro needed just 1:38 to knock out Justin Gauthier. The explanation for his success was simple. “I just worked my butt off,” Navarro said. Hard work is nothing new to Navarro, a 21-year old Downers Grove resident and graduate of Glenbard West High School. He trained rigorously as a wrestler in high school, and currently works maintenance for a property ownership group during the day while training at night.
Tale of the tape Boxer: Roy Navarro Residence: Downers Grove High school: Glenbard West graduate Division: Welterweight Weight: 144 pounds Height: 5-foot-9
Navarro describes himself as restless; he feels like if he isn’t doing something, then he wasting precious time. Soon after he graduated high school, he knew he wanted to become a boxer. When searching local boxing gyms in the area, Bob Miller’s Fist Law Boxing Club popped up in an internet search, and Navarro paid a visit to the Downers Grove gym. “I basically came in and said, ‘I want to fight,’” Navarro said. “He had never boxed a day in his life,” Miller said.
“But he came in and within a minute of working with him I realized he was something special.” Miller said Navarro always had the natural ability to be a successful boxer: fast hands, a heavy punch and a willingness to stand in close and work the body. His biggest gains since training with Miller have come between the ears. “His biggest improvement has been his focus and his boxing intelligence,” Miller said. “When you box, you have to be smart. It’s not enough to be tough. Technique always beats strength, and that’s where he’s improved the most. He came in with raw power, and his work ethic and dedication allowed him to learn the other things and become a complete boxer.” Four years of training led to Navarro’s first pro bout, and quickly his first win as a pro. It didn’t take long for him to earn another fight, which

Navarro is looking forward to the fight, but also to the training in the interim to get ready for it. It’s part of what drew him to boxing and a big part of what makes him a successful fighter.
“I like the training, I like the conditioning and I like the physicality of it,” Navarro said. “He’s the total package,” Miller said. “He’s got the athleticism, the work ethic and the determination. He does everything right.”
