McElligott’s favorite part of the parade, the Jesse White Tumblers, are back this year, as is Chicago’s South Shore Drill team. Also in the parade lineup are Bennie the Bull (with the Park District of La Grange), Miss Tall Chicago 2013, Blackhawks’ mascot Tommy Hawk and the Medinah Flying Carpets. All in all, the parade will feature 105 different floats or groups.

LA GRANGE – Nancy Cummings moved to La Grange from Chicago with her husband on a certain weekend years ago. It was Pet Parade weekend.

They were trying to get to the store for groceries and police redirected them from the parade route.

“Hours later, we’re on our way back and this parade is still going on,” Cummings said.

“Where did we move? What is going on? People are marching with their pets in the parade.”

Now, Cummings is executive director of the La Grange Business Association (LGBA), and the Pet Parade is usually the first thing people from other towns bring up when they meet her. She loves watching the parade from the sidewalk every year, and each of her three kids have marched in it.

This year’s parade, the 67th annual, starts at 9:30 a.m. June 1 at Cossitt Avenue and La Grange Road and heads toward the train tracks before turning left down Burlington Avenue toward Lyons Township High School’s North Campus.

“There isn’t a bad place to watch it from quite honestly,” said Linda Yates, a board member for Pets and Pals Charities Ltd., which raises money for the parade.

Ed Breen started the parade because he thought La Grange should have one and wanted to involve kids. He was highly successful. Over the years, the parade has become an institution, being televised on WGNTV for a number of years and attracting celebrity guests, like actress Debbie Reynolds and actor Guy Williams, who

GETTING STARTED |

67th Annual La Grange Pet Parade to be held this weekend

Pet Parade debuts first junior grand marshal

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE – Leading this year’s Pet Parade will be Saint Francis Xavier fifth-grader Molly McElligott, the first junior grand marshal in the 67-year history of the parade.

McElligott, 11, earned the honor after coming up with the winning theme in a contest.

This year’s theme: Miles of Smiles on Parade.

How did you come up with the idea?

I was actually wearing a smiley face T-shirt when I

thought of it. It was white with a smiley face on it and it said “smile” on the bottom. It had braces and nerdy glasses, like mine.

How did you find out that you won?

My mom got the email. My grandparents had come over for dinner for some reason. I didn’t know why. And so my mom wanted me to see something; I didn’t really know what it was going to be. “Congratulations, Molly McElligott. You’re the Junior Grand Marshal.

Your title theme won.” I was like freaking out, jumping up

and down. I was screaming. I scared my sister a little bit.

Have you been in the Pet Parade before?

I’ve been in it with AYSO (American Youth Soccer Organization). I’ve also been in it with my school.

Are family coming to watch you in the parade?

All my family is coming out from far-away places. My grandparents are coming from Virginia. My aunt is coming from Wisconsin. And people from Chicago.

Do you have to wear a

All the softness you love, now in your carpet.

certain kind of outfit?

I don’t know, but I’m probably going to wear a dress.

What’s your favorite part of the parade?

I’m usually in front so at the end I usually just sit there and watch the Jesse White Tumblers. It’s my favorite. I love watching them do all those cool things with the little circle thing.

What do you want to do when you grow up?

I really enjoy playing guitar, singing, acting. But I also really enjoy journalism. I’m in the newspaper club here. It’s my first year doing it, and in the first [edition], I was featured on the front page.

did like a mock interview with school supplies and how they felt in the summer [while] we’re all gone.

What do you do outside of school?

I do acting. I was recently in School House Rock and Beauty and the Beast. In Beauty and the Beast, I played one of the silly girls, which are those girls that really like Gaston and are cuckoo over him and are kind of silly and crazy. I also do a lot of sports here. I do Girls on the Run [a development program based on physical activity]. I do basketball and swimming, and next year I’m going to do track and field because my friends told me it was really fun.

ern-day Willy Wonka’s golden ticket game.

The old-fashioned feel is why she recruited Sullivan, who will make his first Pet Parade visit, but definitely not the first appearance with his giant red wagon. Almost every weekend, Sullivan and his wife leave Clinton in the wagon to appear in parades, car shows and other events. They hit 75 mph on the highway, and no, the black handle does not obstruct their view, as its 7 feet away from the driver’s seat. Sullivan built the vehicle with all necessary safety measures but left off a roof to maintain the appearance of a wagon (he requests no rain).

Look at the car from its side and you won’t see the steering wheel.

The Sullivans don’t charge anything to appear with the wagon – they won’t let you pay them – but will sometimes take donations to the Arthritis Foundation (their niece has juvenile arthritis). They participate in 160 events per year with the wagon and have made four in a single day.

Photo provided

Rick Sullivan appears with his Radio Flyer wagon vehicle about 160 times each year. Sullivan, of Clinton, built the wagon out of a wrecked 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlas Cierra.

“You get two or three who want to go for a ride, and I’m coming up the day before,” said Sullivan, who more than anything enjoys making people smile.

The publicity has helped the couple’s business, which they started in 1990 six months before they married.

“I don’t even have to run newspaper ads,” Sullivan said.

With their wagon, the Sullivans have driven Ronald McDonald in the Illinois State

University homecoming parade, appeared in the Hot Rod Power Tour in Detroit and led a parade in Effingham with $64 million in Corvettes. Multiple times, Sullivan has been asked if he wants to sell the wagon.

“I would bury the car before I’d sell it to somebody,” said Sullivan, who is weighing a visit to Radio Flyer’s headquarters on Chicago’s west side during his trip to La Grange. “You’ve got to be real careful how you drive on your city streets.”

Providing quality service isn’t exactly news—but the fact we’ve been doing it for over 115 years is worth noting. Over those years, our family and staff have provided outstanding attention to every detail at affordable prices.

LA GRANGE – Yes, that’s a giant red Radio Flyer wagon, like the one you rode around in as a kid. Yes, this one has an engine. Yes, you can ride in it.

Just call Rick.

A few years ago, Rick Sullivan saw a photo of a wooden, motorized version of the red wagon that has rolled down American sidewalks for nearly a century. It triggered memories of his childhood in rural Odell, when he and eight siblings would tie a Radio Flyer to their bicycles and pull each other around.

“We tore up a lot of them,” Sullivan said.

So Sullivan, who with his wife, Kathy, runs Kathy’s Collision Center in Clinton, decided to make his own in December 2010. In four weeks and four days, he transformed a wrecked 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlas Cierra with just more than 70,000 miles into nostalgia on wheels. Sullivan’s wagon is 18 feet long and 8 feet wide with a

7-foot-11-inch handle running up its windshield. The handle isn’t 8 feet because it has to fit in Sullivan’s garage.

“The police stop me all the time,” said Sullivan, who will drive his wagon for Tate’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream in the 67th annual Pet Parade June 1. “I’ve had them do U-turns in the middle of the road.”

Never, though, have they asked for his registration or insurance. Like others, they just want to see the big red wagon.

“They don’t even say something sometimes but the smile on their face, they can’t hide it,” said Sullivan, who’s had people tell him they still have their Radio Flyer from 60 or 70 years ago hanging in their garage. “It brings them back to their childhood.”

Which is exactly what Maria Marciniec, owner of Tate’s, is going for. During the summer, Marciniec, whose parents, like Sullivan, grew up in Odell, plants coins in nearby parks and rewards the kids who find them with a free scoop of ice cream – a mod-

Jim Cornelison to sing national anthem before La Grange Pet Parade

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE – Chicago Blackhawks’ national anthem singer Jim Cornelison will open the La Grange Pet Parade June 1, unless he’s at the United Center.

Cornelison, one of the country’s most acclaimed anthem singers, will sing the national anthem before the 67th annual parade, which for the first time will feature an opening ceremony honoring first

responders and veterans. His appearance, though, is dependent on the Blackhawks, who could be hosting a Stanley Cup playoff game that day.

Before Blackhawks games, Cornelison sings the anthem while fans cheer, in contrast to the silence that accompanies most anthems. At a February event honoring former Cubs and White Sox announcer Harry Caray, Cornelison (intentionally) shattered several beer glasses by singing “Take Me Out To The Ballgame.”

8NEWS BRIEF Fire Department honors emergency responders WESTERN SPRINGS – The Western Springs Fire Department honored all emergency medical service (EMS) responders last week as part of National EMS Week.

The week recognizes emergency medical technicians, paramedics, first responders and emergency dispatchers. More than 36 million patients were cared for by

EMS professionals in 2011 alone, according to a release from the Western Springs Fire Department.

The department asked that residents take a moment during the week to recognize EMS providers.

“For one week out of the year we make it all about them and honor the incredible work that our EMS providers perform to improve the health in communities across the nation,” the release said.

LA GRANGE – Valerie Ahrens stands 5-foot-10 and 3/4 inches, just tall enough for membership in the Paramount Tall Club of Chicago.

The club is, first and foremost, a social one. Members meet monthly in Elmhurst, five minutes from Ahrens’ Villa Park home. Members from as far as Rockford and Kankakee get together for meals, bowling, pub crawls and other events. Mainly, they have a good time and talk tall – most people in their lives don’t understand what it’s like to stand out in every crowd or only be able to shop in the tall section. Or ...

“I do get a lot of attention from shorter men,” Ahrens said. A man about 5 feet tall came up to her and a group of friends once at a bar. “He asked each of us if we wanted to marry him because he wanted to marry a tall woman.”

Marriage isn’t currently an option for Ahrens, crowned Miss Tall Chicago 2013 in December. The club requires that its top ambassador be single because the title keeps her busy. Since winning, Ahrens has made 11 appearances. One of her biggest will be walking in the 67th annual La Grange Pet Parade, which is hosting Miss Tall Chicago for the first time.

Ahrens has attended the parade for the past 16 years.

“This is one of the best parades around. And if peo-

Chicago’s Tall Club, one of 50 chapters across the country.

The club still unites a number of people but was a thriving social scene in the 70s and 80s, Ahrens said.

Ahrens, a human resources coordinator for a large beverage equipment company, remembers a recent event that brought together members from multiple Tall Club chapters.

“I stood there and it hit me over the head like a ton of bricks,” she said. “Everybody I was talking to was my height or taller. I was looking every woman in the eye.

I don’t have any girlfriends who are my height.”

Ahrens calls her shorter friends “vertically challenged.” That kind of diplomatic phrasing could help her in June, when Ahrens will travel to Las Vegas to compete against six other women for Miss Tall International.

The competition includes a dance, wearing an evening gown and other events. Even if she doesn’t win, Ahrens is having a blast as Miss Tall Chicago.

“You put on a crown and sash and it’s amazing the people who come up to you and want to meet you,” she said.

LA GRANGE – Charles Vickery often traveled to the east and west coasts to spend time with the sea, which he became famous for painting. But Vickery, who grew up in Western Springs, always remained close to home, working out of a studio in Western Springs and then in downtown La Grange.

From 1980 on, his studio was feet from the store that sold nothing but his paintings.

Bert Jacobs and his father, also Bert, combined to operate the Clipper Ship Gallery at 10 W. Harris Ave. for more than 30 years. In April, the younger Jacobs announced that he would be closing the gallery once his lease expires June 1. A group of past La Grange Business Association presidents assembled to toast to Jacobs at a May 22 farewell event at Palmer’s Place.

Jacobs, 70, said he had been thinking about closing the gallery for several years, partially because of the struggling economy.

“People don’t have to have paintings,” Jacobs said.

He’ll continue to sell Vickery’s work online, where collectors as far as Great Britain

Jacobs’ father was a friend of Vickery, who painted Jesus walking on the sea for the retirement home the older Jacobs used to run. That painting led him to open the gallery in 1980.

His son joined him in 1987.

By serving as an exclusive seller of Vickery’s paintings and distributing prints to 80-100 galleries and print shops across the country, Clipper Ship provided protection for the artist, revered for his ability to capture the mood of the sea.

“Movement is the thing,” Vickery said, as written on his

website, charlesvickery.com.

“The wind can create sudden drama in as much time as it takes to blink your eyes.”

Vickery, who died in 1998, credited Lake Michigan as being his greatest instructor, his website says. He said he spent his early painting years living in a tent on the lake’s shore and eating peanut butter sandwiches.

Jacobs’ favorite moments running the gallery were watching collectors receive the paintings they ordered.

“To see the look on their faces when they said, ‘That’s my oil!” Jacobs said.

GIVING YOUR MONEY AWAY Gifting family members, or anyone else you like, you can give away $14,000 a year tax-free — $28,000 with a spouse – to as many individuals as you like. Give away more and you’ll need to report it, but not pay taxes, as long as it is within your $5,250,000 gift and tax exemption.

Consider opening a 529 education account in your name for the benefit of your grandchildren.

The money grows tax-free as long as it’s used for educational purposes, and contributions are tax-deductible in some states. Best: money in that account is not counted on the federal college aid form, as least the first year. You can also pay tuition directly to the institution.

Giving to charity, donate an appreciated asset; if you’ve owned it over a year, you owe no capital gains tax, and you can deduct the full value of the donation. Don’t donate an asset that’s fallen in value; sell it first, and use the loss on your 1040.

When I watch La Grange Park Village board meetings, the president always has the attorney whispering something in his ear that the rest of the residents and probably board members can’t hear. It doesn’t happen with La Grange’s meetings. The attorney, when he’s had something to say, says it and everybody can hear it. This makes it seem like secretive things are going on. I’d like to see this stop in La Grange Park; let us hear everything the attorney is saying. If you don’t know what needs to be said or need to consult with that person, just table whatever it is being discussed, and speak with the attorney privately.

The MWRD should put in a detention pond in the 2400 block of Gardner Road adjacent to Addison Creek in Broadview to help alleviate the severe flooding in this area. There was a wetland here in the 1950s, and now it is part of a floodplain. Mr. St. Pierre talked about “quick take” and “shovel ready” at the April 29 meeting in Westchester. This site is ideal for a pond.

8NEWS BRIEFS D-102 holds meeting to address parents’ concerns LA GRANGE PARK – District 102 officials held an informational meeting May 20 for parents with questions or concerns about program changes approved last month initiated to reduce a $3 million deficit.

In a letter announcing the meeting, Superintendent Warren Shillingburg wrote that the district has worked hard to avoid program cuts in recent years as state funding has declined while the district’s population has increased.

This year, though, the board of education asked the administration to find $1 million in cuts for next school year, resulting in changes to the tiered-services program for students who require additional guidance. The board recommended the move at an April 29 meeting attended by dozens of parents, several of whom spoke against the changes and the way they came about.

The district announced the proposed changes three days before the board considered them for the first time. Teachers Union President Kathleen Valenta said district reading specialists were not consulted about a new computer-based reading program.

“We know there are some misunderstandings out there regarding these changes, including the false rumor that we are cutting special education services,” Shillingburg said in his letter. “We have made no cuts to our special education services, only changes to our delivery model for the tiered services, which is a general education program. We look

forward to meeting with anyone who still has questions or concerns. We believe once you understand the changes we are making, you will feel as positive about these improvements as we do.”

School on Wheels seeking English tutors LA GRANGE PARK – School on Wheels is holding training sessions for new English tutors June 1 and 8.

The organization offers free English training in seven west suburban towns on a school bus converted into a classroom.

New tutors must have a strong command of English but need not have any second-language skills. Tutors must be available for one hour of instruction per week.

The sessions will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 1 and 8 at the Congregation of St. Joseph, 1515 W. Ogden Ave. School on Wheels offers tutoring in Hodgkins, Woodridge, Cicero, Summit, Villa Park, Lombard and Westmont. Tutors can select their location.

Register for new tutor training by calling Debbie or Kathy at (708) 482-5060.

La Grange Park suspends mulch delivery LA GRANGE PARK – Residents hoping to receive free mulch from the village will have to wait until at least late July.

The village announced that because of high demand, it is out of mulch and temporarily suspending its program that delivers free mulch to residents.

It anticipates that mulch will be available starting in late July or early August.

A thumbs up to 19-year-old entrepreneur Nicholas Cozzi on opening his first business. Cozzi recently opened a Tropical Sno location in Western Springs – and just in time for summer. What really deserves a thumbs up though is the work that he did to build his first business. Cozzi has worked multiple jobs – from running a little league concession stand to working a gym – to save the money to open the store. A thumbs up, indeed.

A thumbs up is required for the La Grange Pet Parade Planning Committee. Every year these folks put on an incredible parade that draws not only residents, but friends and friends of friends from all over the western suburbs. We’re looking forward to this year’s parade, and we know all of La Grange is, too.

From the moment our Master of Ceremonies Greg DiDomenico of Community Memorial Foundation took the stage, our “Seeds of Greatness” annual awards dinner on April 17 was a marvelous opportunity for applause and appreciation in honor of those who contribute their excellence, their time and experience for the COMMUNITY benefit of others.

VOICE Presented before an Steve enthusiastic audience of chamber members, Erickson community leaders and outstanding citizens, Seeds of Greatness demonstrated for the 39th year the real magic that happens when outstanding people flex their generosity in time and talent.

Award recipients included La Grange Park’s Thom Serafin of Serafin & Associates as Business Leader of the Year; Bill and Rebecca Courtright of Courtright’s Restaurant in Willow Springs as Business of the Year, La Grange’s Coldwell Banker office and Countryside’s Helping Hand Center as Community Collaboration of the Year; McCook’s Mayor Jeff Tobolski as Public Servant of the Year; Matt Serafin of Nazareth Academy as Young Person of the Year (and Thom’s son, making two generations of public service); and the legendary Daniel Pancake of USI Insurance as the President’s Award winner.

We’re not done, of course. There’s plenty of work to do to help our communities reach even greater heights individually and as a unified force for economic, cultural and job development on behalf of our residents.

Our major chamber fundraiser, Best of the West Golf Classic, returns to Gleneagles County Club in Lemont on June 19. We need your participation, whether you play or not.

Among other things, you’ll have a chance to win a brand new car from Autobarn of Countryside. We’ll stage a “Google Universe” seminar the next day and follow with our fabulous “Reality Store” experience for students at Lyons Township High School.

There’s even more coming up, which you can see on our website.

Restaurant reviews

Hinsdale’s CiNe brings lively color to Mexican fare HINSDALE – From its menu of upscale Mexican fare and its vibrant atmosphere down to its colorful logo: What you see is what you get at CiNe, a modern Mexican taqueria that’s as energizing as it is delicious.

My companion and I made our destination downtown Hinsdale on a recent Friday.

Venturing along the village’s hills and dream homes was a treat en route to the restaurant, but stepping inside was a breath of fresh air after a week full of work.

The front façade of CiNe pays homage to the original theater, with an awning protruding over a downtown sidewalk and a small row of outdoor seating. The colorful, lit-up CiNe logo graces the awning, letting incoming patrons know just what to expect upon entrance.

The interior transports guests to a Miami-like atmosphere – it’s colorful, yet easy on the eyes and modern, but just warm and cozy enough.

Much like you would find at other Mexican fare restaurants,

the chips and salsa were complimentary and were brought immediately by our waiter, who greeted us with a smile and kind introduction, as well.

The salsa was a pleasant surprise, having just enough kick for my satisfaction, but not enough to deter my companion with more sensitive tastebuds.

Picking up the menu, patrons are given options typical of Mexican eateries – quesadillas and tostadas as appetizers, tacos, fajitas and enchiladas for entrees – but each with its own little twist courtesy of the chef.

Then there are the more unique dishes, including the Filete a la Tomatillo, a hanger steak marinated in guajillo and agave, accompanied by roasted potatoes. One of three Chef’s Specials was the Sarandeado, a smoked walleye over potato puree served with a relish.

CiNe offers an extensive list of wine, cocktail and beer options.

For an appetizer, my companion and I couldn’t pass on the Carnitas Quesadillas, made with slow braised pork

Hinsdale’s CiNe looks like a theater from outside and features a colorful, yet warm and cozy atmosphere inside. and topped with a trio of tasty sauces. We each downed two portions of the appetizer, making for just enough of a prelude to our meal along with the chips and salsa.

The gem of the menu, though, is the taco selection.

Patrons can combine any four types from traditional options such as pastor pork, chicken flautas and skirt steak, to albondiga – a type of meatball – and

vegetariano, potato croquettes along with relish, sour cream and queso fresco.

I opted for two each of the pastor and skirt steak tacos, taking a stronger liking to the latter.

My companion went with the enchiladas, and she enjoyed the juicy and flavorful shredded chicken. A creamy Mexican rice put the dish over the top and had me convinced that

Autre Monde Café connects community to produce deliveries SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BERWYN – Taking its farm-to-table concept to heart, Autre Monde Café & Spirits recently announced it will partner with Montalbano Farms to become the first Berwyn location to offer a Community Supported Agriculture program. Residents can purchase a CSA share of the farm’s produce and pick it up at Autre Monde on Thursday afternoons.

People can sign up on the Montalbano website at montalbanofarms.com, and select their choice for shares: fruit and vegetable, vegetable only, weekly or biweekly pickup.

An option is available to help low-income residents take part.

Cafe owner Christine Tully Aranza notes the importance of the program.

He says visitors and volunteers are welcome to arrange excursions to the farm to view the operations, lend a hand with planting and harvesting, and learn about organic agriculture.

Tully Aranza says the best part of being a small business owner is to be able to follow your heart.

Her husband and business partner, John Aranza, adds, “How much better does it get than to be able to help feed your community well, whether they are eating out or staying home?”

Regional final

dsantaromita@shawmedia.com SUMMIT – Lyons Township baseball won another regional title on Saturday and faces a familiar sectional ahead.

The Lions beat Kenwood and Simeon to claim the program’s third straight regional crown. Next up for LT is Mt. Carmel, a team the Lions beat in last year’s sectional final, in the Class 4A Reavis sectional semifinal at 4 p.m. today.

“We hit the ball pretty well,” said LT coach George

Ushela. “We left a few guys on base, but we’re still playing and I like the way we competed in the regional.”

LT (24-10) scored 15 runs on 11 hits in the semifinal

Regional champ LT hopes to duplicate last year’s results vs. same sectional teams

against Kenwood, cruising to a 15-2 win in five innings.

Stewart Nelson, Sam Heilenbach, Max Larsen and Tom Prescott each homered in Thursday’s victory.

The final against Simeon was a much closer affair. The Lions scored twice in the second inning and twice in the sixth and needed those late insurance runs.

Starter Keith Lehmann took a one-hit shutout into the seventh, but had some control problems and the tying run was in scoring position with one out. Lehmann and the Lions escaped 4-3 winners.

“Keith Lehmann out of the ordinary had some control problems, not major ones, but he had full counts on a lot of people and a couple foul balls and several walks,” Ushela said.

With the regional behind them, No. 4 seed LT can look ahead to the sectional. Top-seeded Mt. Carmel awaits the Lions. Fellow Chicago Catholic League-powers St. Laurence and St. Rita also made it to the sectional meaning the same four teams from last year will square off in a sectional.

Last year, like this year,

the Lions entered as the bottom seed of the four teams.

Ushela is hoping that also like last year LT is playing its best when it matters most.

“I think we’ve made some progress,” the coach said.

Every game is do or die and our kids realized it. I think they’re up to the task and they’re excited about it.

We’re coming to a very exceptional sectional with Mt. Carmel, St. Laurence and St. Rita all in it. Generally those four programs are pretty top notch so we’re among the mix so all four are very alike.”

Roadrunners extend regional title streak to 5

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE PARK – Nazareth baseball added another notch to the program’s recent string of playoff success.

The Roadrunners won a regional for a fifth straight season with a 5-1 win over Elmwood Park on Saturday. Top-seeded Nazareth will host No. 5 Riverside Brookfield in a Class 3A sectional semifinal today with the hopes of also extending the sectional title streak, which is currently at four.

“As I told the guys after the game we don’t take anything for granted, especially to win 25 games in a year and winning another regional,” said Nazareth coach Lee Milano. “I think that says a lot about our group of guys and our program.”

Peter Minella pitched a complete game in the regional final and took a shutout into the seventh inning. The Roadrunners also shut out Pritzker College Prep in the semifinal, 10-0 in five innings. Brandon Bossard allowed just one hit in a complete game in the semi.

Pitching depth has been one of the strengths of the team this spring.

Along with Minella and Bossard, Kyle Piotrowski, Mike Kogut and Jake Bartels have been key parts

of the pitching staff.

“Our pitching staff is deep and I don’t know that we can say that we have one guy that’s our ace,” Milano said. “We’ve relied on four or five guys and that’s definitely an asset of our team so it’s really been a combination of things.

We’ve played solid defense and we’ve had some timely hitting.”

Next up is a rematch with RB (32-4-1), a team the Roadrunners (25-11-1) tied 4-4 on April 8. That game had a playoff-like atmosphere and was called due to darkness after 10 innings. The Bulldogs are coming off a 1-0 win over Montini that featured a no-hitter by junior Will Kincanon.

“Our conference and our schedule has prepared us for games like this,” Milano said. “We’ve been in tight games playing a high level of competition and I think our record kind of speaks for itself, but they’re definitely a quality team with a true ace so it will be a good game.”

Harris also competed in the 4x100 and 4x200 relays, which were in the top 20, but didn’t advance to the finals.

Fellow senior Lino Mogorovic had the fastest qualifying time in the 300-meter hurdles, 37.72 seconds, but finished just seventh in the finals (39.74). Mogorovic also was 17th in the prelims of the 110-meter hurdles.

Senior Jimmy Mitchell was LT’s other event finalist, placing fifth in the shot put after throwing a distance of 55 feet, 5.5 inches.

Two relays, the 4x400 and 4x800, made the finals. The 4x800 team of Ed McCarter, Connor Delaney, Dan Lupano and Alex Lima placed sixth.

The 4x400 relay of Jimmy Rhode, Antwan Swan, Lima and Mogorovic was ninth.

McCarter and Lima both

competed in the 800 individually and crossed the finish line in succession. McCarter was 19th, eight hundredths of a second ahead of Lima.

Senior Antwan Swan was 17th in the 400 and Michael Matusiak also cracked the top 20 in the 3,200. Also competing for LT were Rhode (21st in the 400), Nick Demes (21st in the shot put, 23rd in the discus) and Tom Bryson (no height in the pole vault).

Grace Nasenbenny, C.C. Holbert and Emily Lange converted for LT while the Tigers failed to convert on their final three attempts. One shot missed wide, LT goalkeeper Lidia Breen saved one down the middle and the final attempt from Tiger forward Dana Miller required a dive high at full stretch to Breen’s

Regional semifinal

dsantaromita@shawmedia.com WESTERN SPRINGS – Losses like this can only become moments to learn from.

Lyons Township softball was one out away from beating Hinsdale South in the Class 4A LT regional semifinal on Thursday, but a twoout double by Lauren Cairo drove in two runs to tie the game in the seventh inning. The Hornets went on to win 5-3 in nine innings.

“I’m sorry we didn’t get it done for the seniors, but as far as the juniors, sophomores and freshman they’ve go to take something from this game,” said LT coach Dawn Schabacker. “I told them ‘I’m going to remind you of this game and say remember when you just let it slip away? You were right there, one out away from getting into tomorrow’s game so you’ve got to take a little bit from there.’”

LT beat Hinsdale South in two previous meetings this season.

It was a sloppy game to end on.

The Lions committed six errors, leading to four unearned runs, while the Hornets committed five errors,

Hinsdale South 5 Lyons Township 3 (9 innings) LT leaders: Ashley Koziol 2-for-4, 2B, 3 RBIs; Stefanie D’Anna 1-for-4, 2 R leading to one unearned run.

The loss ended a 20-14 season for the Lions, including a 6-6 mark in the West Suburban Silver. Four seniors, Dominique Gonzalez, Katie Hogan, Meghan Klima and Becky Ryckman, closed out their careers.

LT featured a freshman and four sophomores on the varsity team by the end of the season and the core of the team was juniors like Ashley Koziol, who started in the circle and had drove in all three LT runs, Stefanie D’Anna, Kayla Morrissey and Katie Dzierwa.

Schabacker was optimistic about the future, but that doesn’t take away the sting of the loss.

“One game does not define your season, unfortunately when it’s a regional playoff game it does,” Schabacker said. “We’ve got a good core coming back. ... but I’d like to have been in that regional (final).”

to remember that she went left.

She was staring at the right side so I was like she’s going left. I just decided to go for it.”

“Most of the time when kids get into penalty shots, especially in a pressure situation, they have a way they go and they don’t like to switch,” said LT coach Bill Lanspeary, whose team went on to lose 3-1 to Hinsdale Central in Friday’s sec-

Lions suffer upset in regional final

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LISLE – After a resoundingly successful regular season, it all came crashing down so quickly for Lyons Township volleyball.

The Lions, which were shooting for the 30th win of the season, fell to Naperville North in three games in the Benet regional final on May 22. Dominant outside hitter Dan Koch led the No. 8-seed Huskies to a 28-26, 20-25, 25-22 upset win in a raucous atmosphere.

“I think Naperville North plays with a great deal of emotion,” said LT coach Joann Pyritz. “We saw that the other night in the regional semifinal.

They did the same thing.

They came on strong, took advantage of our weaknesses.”

LT was the top seed in the Proviso West sectional and finished the season 29-4. The Lions obvi-

The Huskie senior had five aces, including four in a row in the first game, and 14 kills.

“In the clutch to be able to perform like that – it’s great to be a great athlete and a great player, but can you do it when it counts?” Pyritz said. “He was clearly able to do that.”

The Lions fell behind 14-7 in the first game, but rallied with five straight points and eventually surged ahead. LT had three game points, but couldn’t put it away.

Koch eventually did with an ace.

LT had to dig out of an early hole in the second game, trailing 6-1, but rallied to win 25-20. The Lions kept the momentum in the decisive final game and jumped ahead 14-10. Koch again came up huge for the Huskies and won four straight points on his serve to give the Huskies momentum for good.

The success of the team, which was fueled by junior setter Marko Kostich and seniors Clayton Smentek, Kyle Smuda, Aidan Spangler, Dom Faust and Gabe Fisher, has rarely been matched at LT. “This is one of the best records that a Lyons Township boys team has had,” Pyritz said. “We have played at a high level all season. We’ve had some great seniors who have contributed and I’m sorry for the seniors that this had to be our way out.”

Heartbreaking regional loss teaches LT softball lesson

3-2: Winning margin for Lyons Township in a penalty-kick shootout against Wheaton Warrenville South in their sectional semifinal May 22

CC • Wednesday, May 29, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life*

HINSDALE – Penalty kick shootouts are certainly good at one thing: stirring up emotions.

Lyons Township and Wheaton Warrenville South resumed a sectional semifinal on Wednesday already in overtime from a lightning delay the previous day and needed penalty kicks to determine the winner.

The Lions went from down, panicked and desperate to relieved, jubilant and victorious while the Tigers endured the agony of ending a season on penalties.

The teams were tied at 1-1 at the end of play on Tuesday and that score remained through the 10 minutes of overtime on Wednesday.

In the shootout, LT missed its first two penalties wide and the Tigers scored the first two to take a commanding lead.

Then things turned.

tional final. “We took a chance on it that happened to work and Lidia came up big. You can say it, but making that save is something else. That’s still a pretty good shot.”

The way the match went, Breen would have seemed an unlikely hero. The Tigers couldn’t muster a shot on goal other than Miller’s penalty kick in the first half. Breen finished with no saves in regulation, but from the time action ended on Tuesday she knew penalties were likely.

“I was so nervous today,” Breen said. “I couldn’t do anything in any of my classes. I would just stare at the wall thinking ‘What if we get into a PK shootout and I don’t save any of them?’”

Breen already went through that scenario when LT lost to Hinsdale Central in penalty kicks on April 30.

“It was nerve wracking, but I think I do better under pressure for some reason,” Breen said.

The mother and son team make up Higgins Glass Studio, 33 E. Quincy, entrusted to the Wimmers to carry on the art crafted by their long time mentors, Fran and Michael Higgins, who began the company in 1948.

Louise and Jonathan agree that it was Fran’s ideas and Michael’s energy and ingenuity that led these two huge talents to start their work out if their Chicago apartment in 1948.

Over the years their art sold in such major retailers as Marshall Field’s, Georg Jensen and Bullocks Wilshire, the very high end store in the California based department store chain.

In 1966, the Higgins decided to return to private studio work and set up their offices in Riverside. The website notes that “here they were free to set their own goals, meet their own standards and design in the direction their hearts and minds led them.”

There’s a lot of history in Higgins, and the Wimmers are proud of their work and the company.
