Dave Mouser of Clarendon Hills prepares to serve during a game of Pickleball at the Westmont Community Center, 75 E. Richmond St. The Westmont Park District is starting a Pickleball league beginning Sept. 4.

“I hope we can get it to grow to where we can have some tournaments and so that people can see how much fun it is.”

Maria Lahey Pickleball player

Sweeney said the hardest aspect of the sport is learning how to keep score.

In Pickleball, points are scored by the serving side when the opponent fails to return the ball. The first side to score 11 points with a twopoint lead wins.

Although the free sessions at the park district are over, Pickleball’s regular season

“I hope we can get it to grow to where we can have some tournaments and so that people can see how much fun it is,” Lahey said. “We could start to play outdoors, too. We have four courts on 59th Street we could tape off, and that’d be wonderful.”

Lahey said residents should come out and play, or watche.

“You meet wonderful people who are old and young at the same time,” Lahey said.

“We’re getting older, but we don’t want to sit down and not do anything. We want to stay out there and stay active and this is a great sport to do that with.”

wooden or composite paddles, a ball styled like a whiffle ball and a net that’s 34 inches high. The sport is easy to pick up and a good release, said Joe Balagot, a Pickleball Ambassador from the USAPA. “You don’t have to move too far, the court is small and the ball flies a lot slower than in tennis,” Balagot said. “With Pickleball, you get the workout, and that’s what I like.”

From Aug. 7 through 21, the park district hosted free Pickleball games every Wednesday at the Westmont Community Center, where residents could learn how to play and meet other experienced players.

Pia Sweeney, a Westmont resident, learned how to play at the classes and said it’s a lot of fun and an opportunity to meet other people.

“I’ve been wanting it to be here for a long time,” Sweeney said. “I heard about it 12 years ago, and it sounded like a lot of fun for the older seniors.”

WESTMONT – During the summer of 1965, three men created a game to entertain their families.

Played on a badminton court, it was comprised of paddles, a ball and a low net.

It wasn’t long until the family dog, Pickle, began chasing after the stray balls and the game became known as Pickleball.

Pickleball, a combination of badminton and tennis, now is North America’s fastest growing sport, according to the USA Pickleball Association (USAPA). And with the help of a few local players, Pickleball now has made its debut at the Westmont Park District.

Having Pickleball in town will bring vitality to Westmont, said Maria Lahey, one of the players who helped bring the game to her community.

“We will be one of the few park districts to have it, especially in this area,” said Lahey, adding that the closest facility to play at is about 40 minutes away. “We’ll be a central location for it, which will be absolutely wonderful.”

The Westmont resident said she wanted to bring Pickleball to her community because it’s one of her passions.

“It’s just addictive,” said Lahey, who has played about three years. “It’s fun, I love the exercise, I love the people and it’s easy to learn.”

Savage Anxieties: The Invention of Western Civilization Robert A. Williams Jr.

The Death and Life of the Great American School System Diane Ravitch

Robert A. Williams Jr. is a leading expert on Native American law and the rights of indigenous peoples. A member of the Lumbee Indian Tribe, he teaches law at the University of Arizona and proposes a wide-ranging reexamination of the Western world’s history, told from the perspective of civilization’s war on tribalism as a way of life.

Diane Ravitch wants to know what makes schools work. A historian of American education at NYU who served in the administration of the first President Bush, she defies easy ideological labeling with a clear head and open mind that insists on seeing what the data really tells us about testing, choice, voucher schools and other fashionable reforms.

Young males begin to struggle the moment they enter a classroom, and account for only 43 percent of Americans enrolled in college. The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Peg Tyre presents years of research from schools around the country on why boys are the new academic underdogs.

What do colleges and universities bring to a society? Among other things, they form the basis of great cities where smart people want to live. Richard Florida established the significance of this emerging “creative class” in a bestselling book that has confirmed his reputation as a preeminent urban theorist.

“We do it to raise money for the school,” he said.

“When you’re putting new things into the school like smart boards, iPads, things the school teachers and kids need, when you see they’re getting all these things from the work and fundraisers you’re doing, I can’t even put into words how gratifying that is.”

Looking back at last year’s fest, there will be a lot of changes for the upcoming Oktoberfest, Sellers said.

He said the location now

will be at Veteran’s Memorial Park with multiple entertainment for teens, young adults, adults and seniors along with a movie for children on the park’s baseball fields.

Sellers, who had one son graduate from Holy Trinity and another son who still is enrolled, said the event is not just for parishioners, it’s for the whole community.

“We’re trying to pull the community together, too,” he said. “It’s not just the effort for Holy Trinity but the community itself. It’s an outreach to the community.”

Ask Dr. Webster

A: Nitrous oxide, a gas that is a compound of nitrogen and oxygen, is a perfectly safe sedative that dentists use as an anti-anxiety agent. In fact, it’s the most common sedative dentists use. And it’s safe for use with patients of any age. Referred to colloquially as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is administered to the patient through a small mask that fits over the nose. Its colloquial name comes from the fact the gas puts a patient in a giddy, even euphoric state while the dental procedure is under way. You may feel light-headed and sense a tingling in your arms and legs. Some patients have said their legs and arms feel heavy.

Nitrous oxide falls in the category of “conscious sedation,” meaning the patient is awake and can respond to prompts and questions from the dentist.

The gas makes whatever discomfort might be associated with the procedure easier to handle and can even make time seem to pass more quickly.

Effects of the gas wear off quickly after the mask is removed and it leaves no unpleasant side effects.

The gas was first used in a tooth extraction in 1844. Talk with your dentist about which antianxiety and sedative options are available to you.

WESTMONT – When it comes to preparing, organizing and running Holy Trinity’s Oktoberfest, Keith Sellers said it’s as if he has an additional full-time job.

“It’s a lot more work than people anticipate,” the business owner said. “If it was a full-time job you’d have a lot of overtime.”

In preparing for the Westmont parish’s second annual Oktoberfest, Sellers, who is the president of the Parent School Organization, said

he said, adding that he went to the village for liquor and noise permits. “You want to make it something people remember and want to come back to.”

Last year’s fest was put together by a committee along with Sellers, but because the fest now is in September and planning began over summer, he’s running it solo this time around.

Sellers said he understands parents are busy during summer and cannot commit as much time. Although he’s on his own for 2013’s Oktoberfest, he said he

WESTMONT – A woman suspected of burglarizing a Downers Grove shed allegedly entered a Westmont resale shop with stolen items when police were in the store.

Police were investigating the reported burglary of a shed in the 300 block of 39th Street that occurred between 8 p.m. Aug. 19 and 10:30 a.m. Aug. 20. The alleged victim told police a self-propelled lawn mower, snow blower and garden tiller were taken from the shed.

Police located what they believed was the tiller at a resale shop in Westmont.

The owner said he bought it from Kira K. Levan, 26, 241 41st St., Downers Grove.

After showing the alleged victim a photo of the tiller, a uniformed police officer returned to the store to tell the owner to hold the tiller.

Levan then allegedly entered the store carrying a duffel bag with a chainsaw and an electric hedge trimmer.

The officer’s squad car was parked in front of the business. Levan was charged with possession of stolen property at 10:40 a.m. Friday

2:30 to 3:30 p.m. for the seventh grade team and 4 to 5 p.m. for the eighth grade team.

OPINIONS n LAST WEEK’S WEB POLL QUESTION: Should all high school students have a tablet computer?

38 PERCENT: No, enough is enough with the technology already 34 PERCENT: Yes, it would cut down on paper, heavy books and keep them current 16 PERCENT: Not yet, but it’s bound to happen soon 12 PERCENT: Why stop with high school kids?

Obamacare and the IRS: A disastrous combination After recent news reports revealed that IRS agents were engaged in widespread, systematic targeting of individuals based on their political and religious beliefs, Americans were rightly outraged. Subsequent Congressional investigations revealed not only were people harassed by agents, but IRS officials had been caught leaking confidential taxpayer information and squandering away millions of tax dollars.

In light of these myriad scandals, the House of Representatives moved to enforce strict oversight of the IRS, curbing their power and putting strong checks in place to prevent future abuses.

But thanks to the president’s health care law, the IRS is poised to expand into the health insurance business.

That’s right, the very same agency caught harassing Americans and mishandling their tax information is tasked with the massive undertaking of implementing and enforcing Obamacare. IRS agents now will be collecting information on individual’s health status, enforcing the requirement that everyone get health insurance and fining those who don’t have coverage. In total, the agency will run point on almost 50 new provisions of the health care law. Summing up the cause for serious concern, the Treasury Department watchdog called the new responsibilities given to the IRS, “unprecedented in recent history.”

Going one step further, the House also passed legislation

COMMUNITY VOICE Peter Roskam to delay the individual requirement to purchase health insurance, while also delaying the requirement for employers. If the Obama Administration thinks a one-year delay is good for big business, we should provide the same relief for families and individuals, too.

It has been more than three years since the health care law was passed, and it’s clear the law still is not ready for prime time. Obamacare is only a few months from going into full effect, and the Administration continues to delay, push deadlines and shut down programs that have been shown not to work. Studies show that the cost of health care continues to rise, while industry experts and doctors warn about a decrease in the quality of care. Barring the IRS from implementing and enforcing the law is a step in the right direction. Delaying the mandates in the law is another. The end goal is to protect individuals from the rising costs and harmful effects of Obamacare, and working to replace it with patient-centered reforms that remove all Washington bureaucrats from your health care decisions.

U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, represents Illinois’ 6th District, which includes Westmont

8LETTERS Immigration debate continues In response to a Letter to the Editor by Angelo Manzoeillo dated Aug. 14: Generally, as rule of thumb I don’t respond to personal attacks as I choose to do battle in the arena of ideas, not in the gutter politics of a modern day progressive.

You see, engaging in a war of wits with unarmed men is not nice and my parents taught me to be polite to these types of people. Unfortunately, every so often someone so ignorant needs to be addressed for the good of the people and Mr. Manzoeillo is that person.

First, my article was about illegal immigration and those illegal immigrants not being rewarded by giving them a path to citizenship for breaking our laws (the operative word is illegal); second, securing our borders as a matter of national security; and third, enforcing our current laws.

The overarching theme to my writing was the ignorance of the American electorate as they do not seem to be able to segregate these three unrelated topics, nor

do they understand the ramifications for misunderstanding their impact on our country.

Angelo has mastered deploying the liberal, socialist, Democrat playbook. Demonize and personally attack any person that has a different opinion from his when he cannot debate the idea and successfully defend his indefensible position.

Then completely change the conversation to whatever fits his talking points, create a straw man argument and simply argue these points with himself.

Mr. Manzoeillo needs to better educate himself before he steps into the ring of the knowing with other people. Maybe if he spent less time as one of the five people watching MSNBC for hours on end and more time reading our founding documents he would be better prepared to debate ideas in the big “girls” club.

Reader: Opposition to Obamacare not treason

Aug. 14: I courteously disagree on virtually every one of Mr. Cantele’s arguments though space does not permit a full analysis and response. Let me, then, consider the most important areas of disagreement: • Implicit in his letter is the critically important question of the proper role of government.

Are governments intended to provide for all the material needs of the people? Are they primarily intended for the defense of the people against aggressors?

These are all reasonable propositions. I submit, however, that the proper and fundamental role of government is to provide the environment in which people can live their lives in freedom.

• With this in mind I consider the Affordable Care Act completely inconsistent with the proper role of government because it represents a significant barrier to personal freedom.

It will consume yet more of the national wealth; it will impose its own version of health care decisions on the people; even

Recently, there have been reports of solicitors going doorto-door or making house calls claiming to be with the village’s electric supplier, according to

police.

First Energy Solutions, the community’s official electric supply company selected by the village, does not make door-to-door solicitations.

Village of Westmont selling rainwater barrels WESTMONT – The village of Westmont and the Westmont Water Division have announced that rainwater barrels are available for purchase.

The barrels, which can prevent household flooding, are connected to the bottom of gutter systems, catching water that falls

off the roof instead of having it flow into the stormwater system.

“Not everybody is aware of this, but rainwater barrels can greatly benefit homeowners,” Mike Ramsey of the Westmont Water Division said. “Not only can you save money by using rainwater for your outdoor watering needs, but it can also help property owners prevent flooding.”

Rainwater barrels, which come in black, gray, blue or terra cotta, are being sold through the Westmont Water Division for $70. The village will deliver the barrel to the home.

To buy a barrel or for information, contact Mike Ramsey at 630-981-6289 or mramsey@ westmont.il.gov.

great example for everybody.”

The picture book tells the story of Nubs’ rescue and finding a new home.

Proceeds from the book will go to the Washington Park Zoo aviary where the other rescued birds were taken.

Once she meets her fundraising goal, the charity named NUBS (No Unwanted BirdS), will choose new causes to fund, Ludwig said.

She said she wrote the book to be an inspiration to children,and did not dwell on the shortened life that Nubs will have.

“I took them in knowing they would not live a long life, but that does not mean they shouldn’t live a great life in the time they have left,” she said.

SD • Wednesday, August 28, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Reporter | Progress

DOWNERS GROVE – After everything Nubs the parakeet has been through, people probably would understand if he was a bit of a grump.

Instead, the bird’s happy demeanor inspired Downers Grove native Kristin Ludwig to write an inspirational children’s book in the rescued bird’s honor and create a charity in his name.

“You can be born into a circumstance that is not fair,” Ludwig said. “But you still have a decision in the way that you live your life.”

Ludwig adopted Nubs and another parakeet named Freckles after they were rescued in October from a hoarder’s feces-filled home in Aurora. More than 300 birds were taken alive from the home, and more than 100 more were found dead inside.

“When you opened the front door there was about two- to three-feet deep of waste and refuse, including dead bodies of birds,” Aurora City Spokesman Clayton Muhammad said.

Ludwig, a Grayslake biochemist who grew up in Downers Grove, saw the house on the news and contacted the Greater Chicago Cage Bird Club to volunteer. She spent two months working with the rescue group, helping place birds in new homes.

After a monthlong quarantine, the group placed about 150 of the parakeets and other small birds in adoptive homes like Ludwig’s, Greater Chicago Cage Bird Club treasurer Diana Federl said. About 200 more were placed in the aviary of Washington Park Zoo in Michigan City, Ind. “Birds are very resilient,” Federl said. “Most of them will come around and be very friendly if they get to know people. We’ve had several people tell us how pleased they were with them, and that they calmed down nicely.”

Ludwig said she picked Nubs and Freckles for adoption because they needed more special care than the other birds.

Since, Ludwig and veterinarians have nursed them back to the best health they can.

Both birds suffer from terminal heart disease, despite being less than 2 years old, she said, a

Finally, I would remind Mr. Cantele that all members of Congress enjoy the privileges of office.

These privileges are not party specific. Perhaps a discussion of term limits should follow.

Letter: Hit the gas on speed limit increases To the Editor: The recently signed 70 mph speed limit bill begins to undo the damage done by the national 55 mph limit established in 1973.

After reading the recent Illinois speed limit bill and discussing it with sponsor Jim Oberweis, it is clear to me that the bill was intended to cover, and should apply to, metro Chicago.

IDOT and the county boards should stand aside and allow metro Chicago limits to revert to 70 mph. All the evidence indicates that there would be no negative impact on safety. Overall, metro Chicago highway safety would be improved. Here’s why: • Only 11 percent of fatalities occur on Illinois interstates.

• Higher speed limits on interstates help draw traffic away See LETTERS, page 20

Lanes,” Cesar Canonigo said.

“Were we just supposed to destroy the building and call it quits? We still believe in our business model and the sport of bowling. Our decision to renovate Lisle Lanes was based on our convictions and the years of family history entrenched in the business.”

Cesar Canonigo emigrated from the Phillipines to the United States in 1968, when America was in the midst of its first Vietnam War draft lottery. He promptly enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served as a corpsman medic at Naval Station Great Lakes in Lake County.

Never deployed overseas in Vietnam, Cesar met Grace during a leave from the Navy, and the two married after he was discharged in 1973. He then attended University of Illinois at Chicago, graduated with a degree in accounting and, for the next two decades, worked for financial accounting firm Pannell Kerr Forster while Grace Canonigo worked at Grant Hospital.

In 1994, the couple invest-

ed with a group of friends and bought Lisle Lanes. During the past 19 years, while the other initial investors sold their shares, Cesar and Grace Canonigo held firm, maintaining the only bowling alley in Lisle.

“I have always loved bowling,” Cesar Canonigo said. “So we are honored to not only be one of the few bowling alleys in the area, but we are also a family-owned and operated business.”

But, the family’s recent road recovery has been a rocky one. After the flood and subsequent four month closure, the Canonigos were forced to downsize their staff, retaining only five of the 18 former employees, Cesar Canonigo said.

Additionally, the owners are in the midst of an ongoing appeals process with the Federal Government, attempting to claim FEMA relief money for the damage incurred upon the bowling alley.

When assessors first inspected Lisle Lanes, the Canonigos were denied federal insurance relief because “the

32 lanes were deemed a basement, a couple feet below gradient,” Cesar Canonigo said.

If the Lisle Lanes owners lose out on their appeals process as well, they plan to go to litigation, he said.

Now, with no federal insurance relief and no commercial insurance provider in the area – flood insurance is often withheld from coverage policies based on “specific exclusion” clauses – the Canonigos took a gamble and invested more than $1 million in order to repair the damaged bowling alley.

“We believe that we will be awarded the insurance money that we are entitled to,” Cesar Canonigo said.

He said that their love for bowling and dedication to the community was the swing vote in the decision whether to sell the property.

When the business reopens, it will with 32 brand new synthetic lanes, refurbished pinsetting systems, a floodproofed foundation and overhead electronic scoring screens, the owners said.

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.

LISLE – Lisle Lanes’ husband and wife owners Cesar and Grace Canonigo vividly recall the aftermath of the April 18 flood that devastated their bowling alley.

“We waded through the flooded Lisle Lanes parking lot and unlocked the door, just hoping that the water damage was minimal,” Cesar Canonigo recalled. “We flicked on the lights and it looked like a glass mirror was on top of all the lanes. Everything was under over a foot of water.”

After four months of restoration, acquiring new building and floodproof permits from the village of Lisle, and an ongoing insurance claim battle, the Canonigos are preparing to once again open Lisle Lanes. They’ve targeted Sept. 7 as a reopening date.

“It was an uphill battle,” Grace Canonigo said. “The lanes were in very bad shape after the flood, but we are happy to say that we overcame all the obstacles and will soon be

again open for business.”

After the flood, it took two days and a dozen pumps to remove all the water from the 32 flooded lanes, Cesar Canonigo said.

The gravity of the situation then hit the two owners. All the lanes, gutters and score keeping electronics were ruined, the pinsetter machines were badly damaged, and some of the bowling pins were unsalvageable.

The Canonigos faced an ultimatum of leveling the building and selling the property or beginning a massive renovation project, which included gutting and installing new lanes, filing for federal flood insurance relief, and attaining a nonresidential floodproofing permit from the village of Lisle to prevent future damage.

In all, it would cost more than $1 million to fully restore Lisle Lanes, Cesar Canonigo said.

For the Canonigos, it was not as simple as finding the most cost-effective solution.

“We have put almost 20 years of our life into Lisle

8SOUND OFF Taxed twice for stormwater?

Here we go again. The General Assembly and governor passed a bill to enable DuPage to enact their own stormwater fees based on property owners’ rainwater displacement.

The law permitted Peoria property owners to vote on whether or not to be taxed for this on top of their ongoing property taxes. The law did not give DuPage citizens the same right to vote. Now our county has to decide if it will or will not decrease our property

taxes when it starts charging us another tax on stormwater on top of Downers Grove’s already existing tax on the same stormwater on the same properties. Welcome to Illinois.

It is absolutely critical that Chicago area interstate speed limits be set properly. The 55 limit is a bad joke and the notion of going to jail for 81 is asinine.

Restaurant reviews

Superlative experience awaits at prasino LA GRANGE – The western suburbs are full of amazing, unique restaurants, and La Grange has become known as a dining destination. Still, there aren’t many places like prasino, located just across the street from its sister restaurant, the beer and gastropub haven called Wild Monk.

Restaurants such as prasino abound in big cities, where culinary trends gravitate toward sustainable, seasonal and local with chef-centric menus appealing to a foodie crowd. A dish is displayed simply and beautifully, all of it begging to be Instagrammed (of which I’m guilty).

The word “prasino” means green in Greek, and the restaurant takes the sentiment to heart, focusing on ingredients that are organic and hormoneand antibiotic-free. On the menu is a key that identifies the letters next to food and drink items to let diners know what’s vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free.

My dining companion and I began our meal with a pan of absolutely outstanding, fresh and delicately flavored mussels. I love mussels – I know not all do – but if you want to give them a spin, prasino is a good place to try. The mussels are steamed in the pan, bathed in a white wine, garlic, butter and herb broth, where the garlic does not overpower, and the flavor is light and rewarding.

The grilled bread is smokey and great for soaking up the flavor.

For our second course, we decided to try one of several flatbread offerings on the menu. We went for the farm flatbread, made with a blend of cheeses, sprinkled with chives and drizzled with truffle honey. If you like honey in your Greek yogurt, you’ll like this.

The creamy and sweet combination works well together atop cracker-thin flatbread that’s perfectly crispy on the edges, with just a little chew in the center.

Before moving on to the final course, I’ll take a moment to discuss the cocktail menu

The farm flatbread – cracker thin and absolutely delightful – is prepared with cheeses complemented by chives and truffle honey.

Creatures of the sea

27 CREATURES A: Narwhal B: Frilled shark C: Vampire squid D: Fangtooth fish E: Portuguese man-of-war

2: I look to be part octopus and part squid, with eight red and brown tentacles and a squid-like body. I am known for living my life in the dark depths of the ocean, and because of that, I have very large eyes: The largest eyes compared to body size, in fact, of any known animal in the world. Although I am a carnivore, I don’t want to suck your blood. What am I?

3: I’m rarely seen by humans because I live in the deepest, darkest corners of the ocean. Some scientists refer to me as a living fossil, because I am very similar to my prehistoric ancestors.

I look like a giant eel, but I have many rows of teeth, like a shark. What am I?

DRAWING WITH MARK!

5: If you see my pretty clear bubble floating over the surface toward you while you are swimming, it’s time to head in to shore. Below water, I have long tentacles that unleash a nasty, venomous sting. I am the ultimate trickster: I am not one animal, but a group of organisms that lives, works and floats together. What am I?

4: Some say I am the unicorn of the sea: I am a porpoise, but with a very special gift — a large tusk that sticks out from the top of my head. Scientists aren’t sure what the tusk is for, but they know that it makes me unique and beautiful in the cold waters of the Arctic. What am I?

ANSWERS 1-D; 2-C; 3-B; 4-A; 5-E

1: I’m pretty scary-looking — you can tell where I get my name from taking one look at the long, sharp fangs that burst out of my mouth. I use these teeth to catch smaller fish that swim by me, and I live in the depths of the ocean. What am I?

he ocean: It’s deep, dark, mysterious and illed with life. Creatures of the sea vary greatly ?— from some of the smallest organisms on Earth to some of the biggest — and range from the truly harmless to the seriously dangerous.

Below, you will see a description of the wild and weird animals from the ocean’s depths. Can you match the correct name and drawing of each real animal to each description?

WESTMONT SENTINELS SENIOR SAYS | KEITH DOYLE

Sentinels embrace pass attack

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – Keith Doyle has been a part of Westmont’s football program for years, but has never been part of a team that made the playoffs.

New head coach Otto Zeman has installed a pass-heavy five-wide offense that is a stark change from Westmont’s run-first mentality of the last several seasons.

With the new offense in place, Doyle feels the Sentinels have a good chance to earn a trip to the postseason in what is his final prep football season.

Rossi: What’s it like running this new offense?

Doyle: I love it. It’s a lot of work, but it’s different. I like it.

About Keith Doyle Position: Center/guard Height: 6-foot Weight: 280 pounds

Rossi: What was the biggest change the linemen had to make in the new offense?

Doyle: Skill-wise, it was kick-stepping back. That was the big thing. Kick-stepping, protection and settling in.

Release and drive.

Rossi: Did it take long to pick up on what you have to do in terms of blocking and all that?

Doyle: It took me a couple weeks to get the timing, but I got the hang of it.

Rossi: The plays are com-

ing in quicker now. How’s the fitness for the linemen?

Doyle: They’re working us and I like it. We have enough players that we can play one way. We can all get rest and we can all run [and sub in players] and run against other teams.

Rossi: Where has this team improved over last year?

Doyle: A lot of areas. Players and attitude. The attitude has changed. We work harder and we make sure we’re all at practice. This is the most people I’ve ever seen out for Westmont football in my life.

There’s a lot of players and it’s a great mood when you come to practice.

Rossi: As a senior, what do you hope to get out of this season?

THE BEST OF THE BEST. Get the area’s best prep football coverage in your weekly Suburban Life Media newspaper at at mysuburbanlife.com

Matthew Piechalak – mpiechalak@shawmedia.com

Westmont senior lineman Keith Doyle goes through a drill during practice Aug. 22.

Doyle: Of course I want to be all-conference and all-state, but I just want to make it to playoffs and hopefully get down to state.

Rossi: Are you looking to be a

leader on this team?

Doyle: Yes sir. I push other players to do their best. Sometimes I might be tired on the field, but I always try to do my best so I don’t let anyone else down.

SENIOR SAYS | RYAN POLICHERI

Being team to beat ‘feels good’

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com

Rossi: How hard was it to limit your activity after your surgery?

Policheri: It was hard. I just wanted to run. I play rugby

Position: Offensive line Height: 6-foot-1 Weight: 225 pounds

in the spring and I wanted to play so bad, but I had to sit out. It was hard to limit myself.

Rossi: How are you and the team feeling looking ahead to this season?

Policheri: I’m excited for this season. As a team we’re looking more solid with all the returning starters. I didn’t think I’d notice a difference, but I can definitely notice we’re a more solid team this year.

Rossi: What’s it like to be the

year we were a solid team but we had problems closing out games. Hinsdale Central was a close game, and Glenbard West our defense played really well. It’s good to be seen as the team to beat.

Rossi: A week into practice, was the offense or defense looking better?

Policheri: Of course I’m going to want to say offense, but our defense has some good players. Coach likes to put his best players on defense and we have one of the best front fours in the state. I think our offense is still good, but our defense is probably better.

Rossi: What are your personal goals this season?

Policheri: I was really working on speed because last year

DOWNERS GROVE – Osteochondritis dissecans is a condition in which cartilage and a thin layer of bone comes loose from the end of a bone, most often in the knee. It’s a condition Ryan Policheri suffered from, and one which forced him to have offseason knee surgery. Eight weeks on crutches, twice-a-week physical therapy sessions and one missed rugby season are behind the offensive lineman as he prepares to help guide Downers Grove North’s football team on another deep playoff run.

jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Last season, Rashaun Cowan and his Downers Grove South teammates suffered through an up-and-down football season that uncharacteristically ended without a playoff berth.

As the Mustangs move forward with a new coach and several new faces on defense, Cowan will be looked upon as a leader both on and off the field.

Rossi: How much is last year’s showing something that you guys think about?

Cowan: That’s something

we’re usually all hyped up. Sometimes defense beats them, sometimes offense beats us. It happens.

Rossi: As a senior, how are you trying to be a team leader?

Cowan: I definitely want to be a leader

we did wrong so that doesn’t happen again. It’s been great from the juniors. We’ve had great leadership from them, too.

we think about and talk about almost every day. We don’t want that season again. We pretty much put it behind us and we’re going to take it to the house this season.

BY THE NUMBERS

Rossi: How do you guys as a defense respond when your offense scores on you in practice?

Cowan: We’re both going really hard and

Rossi: What were your thoughts on the first because I can teach them. Since we went week of practice?

We had great lifting sessions. We’re really getting at it and I’m pretty sure it’s going to make us good during the season. I’m excited for the season.

are coming off vastly different seasons. Making the playoffs for just the second time since 2007, the Redwings advanced to the state semifinal game. Junior QB Jack Beneventi, already being courted by Division I schools, returns to guide a prolific offense.

Rossi: As players, have you talked about what you hope to achieve this season?

Cowan: We’ve talked about going to the state championship. That’s what we want.

That’s the No. 1 goal, pretty much. Going 9-0, hopefully, going downstate, and getting a championship win like 2001.
