crowd-favorite tool, the chainsaw, often used by the sculptor along with a dremel.

The saw is a change of pace for artist Al Ramirez who has carved for Nadeau for about eight years.

On his own time, Ramirez makes large, intricate drawings that can take days to create in his Pilsen studio. It’s quite the opposite when he comes to work with power tools.

“I really like how fast it is,” he said. “You can knock out an ice sculpture in an hour.

You’re working at the speed of the chain saw.”

How they make the ice Nadeau said they use the clearest water they can buy to ensure the ice is clear, similar in quality to a bottled spring water.

The water is frozen in 300-pound tanks at 22 degrees, the entire time agitators move the water around to force out air. Then an electric hoist lifts the blocks from the tanks using steel clips frozen just a half-inch into the ice.

Each block takes four days to freeze. The business has 45 tanks, staggered to make about 90 blocks a week.

DOWNERS GROVE – Jim Nadeau and his team will sculpt nearly anything a client can dream, from a 100-footlong train filled with cookies for Nabisco, to Michelangelo’s “David” used in the film “My Best Friend’s Wedding.”

But, like a gourmet meal, the opportunity to marvel is fleeting, and in a matter of hours the ice sculptures are gone forever.

“It’s art for the moment. I know it’s going to disappear,” he said. “It’s planned obsolescence.”

Nadeau learned the skill while working as a line cook in the early 1970s. Back then, chefs created ice swans and other banquet pieces with hand tools, not chain saws.

“It would take a very long time to do some very basic stuff,” Nadeau said. “I just immediately fell in love with the concept.”

His first attempt didn’t Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com even last long enough to melt, As snow falls, Kylie James, 9, of Wheaton poking her head through the he said.

in a moment of what might be generously described as motivational.

Nadeau kept at it, and in 1980, he left his job with Marriott Hotels to start what might be the first ice sculpting business in the country, Nadeau Ice Sculptures, based in Forest Park.

“They told me I was nuts because, at that point, there were no ice carving companies in the U.S.,” he said. “That was 34 years ago, and we’re still doing it.”

This weekend, Nadeau and his staff hauled dozens of 300-pound blocks of ice to the annual Downtown Downers Grove Ice Festival. The 40 Winter Olympics-themed sculptures gracing Main Street businesses were the work of his team, as were the live ice sculpting demonstrations each day of the festival.

The art of ice sculpting has come along way from hand chisels. Nadeau Ice Sculptures can cut pieces at the shop using computer designs paired with an automated drill called a CNC machine, typically used to make exact corporate logos out of ice for events.

Snow budget quickly evaporating

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – The Village of Downers Grove has already spent almost 70 percent of its snow removal budget this year following the unusually cold weather and heavy snow throughout January.

Village Finance Director Judy Buttny and Village Manager David Fieldman presented the information during Tuesday night’s regular village council meeting.

The village spent $438,000 of the 2014 snow removal budget of $637,000 in January, according to Buttny. She said in a normal winter, the village would have spent about $191,360 in January. Last year, the January figure was $82,057, and it was $134,789 in 2012.

“We wanted to alert the community to this issue,” Fieldman said. “Because clearly like other towns, we have been expending a lot of resources in response to the weather and the road conditions.”

Snow removal accounts for about 1.5 percent of the total general fund budget of about $43.6 million.

“While this is a high-profile service, there are many other services provided in the general fund,” Buttny said.

Fieldman said the village, along with other communities, have had some equipment break down from the near constant use this year.

“The public works department has driven 60,000 miles since Dec. 1 on snow and ice control, if that puts a little perspective on it,” he said.

“So the wear and tear has been noticeable.”

Fieldman said the village typically expects to expend about 30 percent of its yearly snow removal budget in January, 30 percent in February, less in March and December, and a very small amount in November.

Fieldman added the village has been monitoring the salt supply.

Staff did not present cur-

rent salt usage figures.

Fieldman did say the village has only had to go into “conservation mode” with salt on two days so far this winter.

“There is some regional salt supply issues due to supply chain issues and plain old demand,” he said.

Council members referenced other communities that have run out of salt, according to media reports, and have had to resort to sand or other materials for traction.

“So far I think we’re doing a terrific job in managing this pretty well, and I know you’ll continue to do that,” Downers Grove Mayor Martin Tully said in response to the staff report. “But there may have to be some periodic adjustments here and there to make sure that management continues in the best possible fashion.

“And I think that’s what everyone needs to understand, is that sometimes extreme situations require a little bit of flexibility.”

Mayor talks flooding, finances in annual report

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Paraphrasing the traditional State of the Union line in his 2013 annual report Feb. 4, Downers Grove Mayor Martin Tully said, “The state of our village is both strong and on a path of sustained success.”

Tully summarized the village’s finances along with the big village news stories of the year, from the implementation of the new stormwater fee and the April floods to new business openings.

Tully pointed toward Standard & Poor’s upgrading last year of the village’s bond rating to the highest possible, AAA, as an independent confirmation of sound village finances.

“This distinction places our community among the elite communities in our na-

tion,” he said, adding that the village is one of only 23 in Illinois with the rating.

He said the rating has allowed the village to refinance bonds at lower rates, saving money in debt repayments for previous projects downtown and at the library.

Touting a healthier village general fund, Tully said it saw revenues increase and expenses decrease to create a positive balance shift of $820,000 in 2013 over the previous year.

He also took time to address the April flood that damaged more than 1,500 properties. The village government received $100,000 from FEMA to help cover some flood costs, he said, and 522 Downers Grove residents received a total of $1.6 million from the agency.

MEDICAL EXPENSES could be important deductions for 2013.

Since our out-of-pocket medical costs keep rising (and our incomes are less due to lower interest rates), you should check your expenses, including: • Medicare insurance and the drug premium • Insurance premiums - paid by you (after, not pretax) or deducted from your pension and Cobra costs • Non reimbursed medical and especially dental costs • prescription drugs • hearing aids and batteries • medical mileage @ 24 cents/mile • long-term care insurance While medical expenses are only deductible over 7 1/2% of your adjusted gross income - now over 10% if under age 65 - many taxpayers are itemizing this year since their medical costs plus real estate taxes, contributions and sales tax deduction add up to more than their standard deduction.

SRAUSS TAX SERVICE can check your medical expenses. We can prepare your 2013 Federal and IL taxes, answer your many questions for 2014 and save you money. We are located at 624 62nd Street, Downers Grove and are open from 9AM - 9PM daily.

Developers plan 6-story apartment building near downtown

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – The Downers Grove Plan Commission gave the OK last week to a six-story apartment building planned for the corner of Rogers Street and Prospect Avenue.

The commission voted 7-1 Feb. 3 to recommend a special use allowing developers to build a multiple-family residence in an area zoned as downtown transition. Multiple family residences are an allowable use for that zoning classification.

The special use will go before the village council for a vote at a future meeting.

The $11 million project, located between the Main Street and Fairview train depots, would include two floors of parking with 98 spots. Above that would be four levels of one- and two-bedroom apartments, for a total of 48. Because of the sloping geography of the site, the first floor-and-a-half would be partially built into the ground.

Michael Gatto, vice president of the developer, RMG Realty, said the upscale building

will be marketed to young, professional commuters looking for housing in the downtown Downers Grove area, something he believes is currently missing.

“We have a lot of condo buildings and lot of townhouses, but we don’t have nice forrent apartment buildings that are a high-enough caliber to attract a young professional,” he said. “We really saw an opportunity to create a product that will fill the void in the marketplace.”

He said the likely price point will be $1,400/month for one bedrooms and $2,000 for

two bedrooms. Each apartment will feature hardwood flooring, stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops, a covered balcony and a washer and dryer. The building also would feature a rooftop garden patio.

Plan Commission Chairwoman Anastasia Urban said developers answered questions regarding security, maintenance, loading and other concerns, including building height.

“I think the plan commission had a very good deliberation about a variety of potential concerns and the petitioners

responded to the majority of those concerns,” she said.

The project plans comply with all setbacks, height and parking requirements, she said.

The proposed structure would be 58.29 feet tall, according to the application, falling under the 60-foot maximum height allowed in the area.

“We very specifically designed the building to be 100 percent in compliance with zoning district standards,” said Ken Rathje, a consultant

BABY’S FIRST VISIT Q: When should a child first visit a dentist?

A: As a rule, a child should see a dentist by age one, or within six months of the first tooth’s eruption. Some parents put little thought into the care of so-called ‘baby teeth’ because they’re going to fall out anyway. The fact is, baby teeth are important in many ways, including their role as place holders for the permanent teeth.

On the first visit, the dentist will examine the child’s mouth, teeth and gums and explain to the parents how to effectively keep the area clean. He also may have some nutrition tips. The dentist will also be able to evaluate the impact of any habits the child may have developed, like thumb sucking. Tooth decay can develop any time after your baby’s teeth appear. By his first birthday, your baby could have eight or more baby teeth. And if one of them is causing pain, he or she won’t be able to communicate that fact.

Another consideration in favor of the early visit to the dentist is the opportunity to start a good relationship between the doctor and the patient. The dentist, based on his or her examination, will be able to recommend a schedule for future visits. As with any medical issue, the earlier any sort of dental problem is recognized in your child, the easier it will be to correct it. Talk with your own dentist about the best steps to take with your infant.

Helping with special transition to adulthood For more than 15 years, District 99 proudly has offered continued educational services to hundreds of students through our Transition 99 Program.

Transition 99 serves older students between ages 18 and 22 who have cognitive and other health impairments. Instructors focus on teaching vital life and work skills to equip these young people with the foundation they need to grow – and to become productive adults in our community.

Transition 99 students are special and require a special space in which to learn. In fact, best practices in special COMMUNITY education include providVOICE ing a learning space in the Jim community for transition-age Kolodziej students.

On Jan. 21, District 99 opened its doors to anewly rehabbed, dedicated space for this program at 4232 Venard Road in Downers Grove. The 10,000-square-foot facility is equipped with a vocational work room (to house the program’s shredding business), laundry facilities, four classrooms, a living area, a conference room and office, a kitchen and bathrooms, including a shower. It includes everything a student needs to practice independent living.

Before we purchased the Venard property, we contacted architects to see if the estimated development costs were economically feasible. After the financial analysis, we found that without a doubt, the property was ideal. The district would be able to support the facility cost and construction out of existing funds – and without raising taxes. The District 99 Board of Education recognized the opportunity and unanimously approved moving forward with the purchase for the new, permanent site.

When we purchased the property less than a year ago, it was an empty shell. Staff members planned and worked closely with our parents, architects, construction professionals, the village of Downers Grove and the Downers Grove Fire Department in a true community effort to transform the space.

All of the operational, technology, water, sewer and safety systems were designed from scratch and installed. Walls were put up and painted we put down tile and carpet. We’ve experienced a flurry of construction activity since November, and the project came in on budget and on time.

The facility has been transformed by our redesign and construction, but more importantly, we believe the space will transform our students into the contributing members of society they are destined to become.

Jim Kolodziej is the director of facilities at District 99, which includes North High School and South High School in Downers Grove.

Transition 99 student Mary Prades of Woodridge uses the Smart Board during class Feb. 3. The students are learning life and job skills in the new facility.

Last week, we told you how proud District 99 and its special needs students are of their new, $1.8 million Transition Center. They certainly should be proud. The center teaches the district’s 45 or so special needs students invaluable life and job skills, preparing them for the transition into life after high school.

District 99 student-artists recently claimed more than 200 awards in a variety of art and writing categories from the 2014 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards competition. North High will host the Chicago area regional exhibition that will feature the winning pieces this week.

I just read in Suburban Life this week about the Downers Grove disposal program for drugs, which is wonderful. I just want people to be aware of the fact that, and I am a Downers Grove residence, for years at the Lisle police station, you’ve been able to walk in and put your drugs in a box without making an appointment and sometimes that may be more convenient. So anyhow, I just want everybody to know about it. I think it’s wonderful Downers Grove is finally offering this program. But I think it would be easier for a lot of people if they don’t have to make an appointment, they can just drop their drugs off, which I’ve been doing for years.

Your Dogs Home Away From Home While You’re On Spring Break Vacation….

Who’s Going Love and Take Care Of Your Beloved Pet Florida, Hawaii, or the Bahamas…..Where are you going for Spring break? You don’t care as long as you’re not here and it’s warm … right? The temperature has been relentless and brutal.

Basically I feel like that old pizza that you forget about in the back of the freezer that hasn’t been seen in a year. Frozen and covered in ice crystals that have actually burned the food by being too cold for too long.

Too long is right…. Now that you know you’re going someplace warm do you have a place for your pet to enjoy their time away during their vacation? …No well maybe I can help you in making that decision.

Firstly I know how hard this is…you’re not sure if the neighbors can watch them or the in-laws have the time…they like to go on vacation too.

Secondly what are the options, vet…kennel….day

care center…how do you decide? (drum roll please) Solution… you gotta Do A Tour.

You Gotta meet the people.

As you know …You know your pet best. You will make your decision based on how you connect with that person that will be in the care of your pet.

It takes a bit of time to visit and get a feel for the people but its really the best way to do it.

I know I’m biased because this is what I do but having done this for nearly 13 years this is what people say to me. They are glad that they came out to visit us and they were very happy to see the facilities and go through the daily routine.

I can say all sorts of nice things but here are some of our reviews…

12/8/2010 David from Willow Brook We been using this kennel for 8 years. We are very happy with the care and attention our 2 dogs receive. The dogs are actually excited to go there!

The staff play with them daily and give them baths before pick-up.

5/25/2012 Mike from Lombard These guys are awesome. Other than the dog park, this is the only place that my dog actually gets excited when we pull up in the parking lot. They’re always nice, they LOVE my boxer Fenny, and she’s always in high spirits when we pick her up. We will continue to always use this place.

I have talked your ear off…if you have any questions please give us call at 630-969-3145.

We actually live on the property with our pet clients so this is more than just a job… this is home for us Give us a call at 630-969-3145 we would love to show you our little slice of heaven.

kpedicini@shawmedia.com WOODRIDGE – When Samuel Tavolino ran up the stairs to see his new bedroom last week, the only sound to be heard was the 6-year-old’s screams of, “Awesome!”

With red and blue walls, a hand-painted cartoon jet, helicopter and Captain America adventure scene, the Woodridge boy looked on at his newly renovated bedroom with true awe.

The dream bedroom was created by Special Spaces Chicagoland, a nonprofit group that designs and constructs bedrooms for children fighting critical illnesses.

Samuel was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in March 2012.

For his mother, Donna Tavolino, seeing a smile on the face of her son warmed her heart.

“It’s bittersweet,” she said. “It stinks that we’re in this position in the first place but then you find all these people who have so much good in their hearts and who are willing to do things for you and your family.”

One morning almost two years ago, Samuel woke up sick. His mother thought it was a sinus infection but the next day he was diagnosed with leukemia.

After 30 days of rigorous chemotherapy, Samuel was declared in remission. He still is but has about another year of treatment left.

“The first year was horrible but now he gets the same [treatment] regime,” Donna Tavolino said.

“He’s a tough kid. He never complains and never cries.

He’s a very special kid.”

The bedroom remodel is the 14th room makeover for the Naperville-based Special Spaces Chicagoland, according to Kelly Knox, branch founder.

She said the organization usually creates one bedroom a month, adding that they’re already booked for all of 2014 and have a wait list for 2015.

Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com

Samuel Tavolino, 6, of Woodridge gets his first look at his bedroom makeover, proclaiming it “awesome,” thanks to the nonprofit Special Spaces Chicagoland.

“He’s a tough kid. He never complains and never cries. He’s a very special kid.”

Donna Tavolino, on her son, Samuel

For each room design, Knox finds a sponsor – Coldwell Banker in Samuel’s case – and then begins the eight-week process, she said, adding that most rooms take about 10 to 12 hours to complete.

“This is so gratifying every day ... it’s absolutely amazing,” Knox said. “This is the best feeling in the whole world.”

Special Spaces Chicagoland also works with From One Kid 2 Another – a Naperville-based charity started by Knox’s neighbors, Peggy and Kelly Chinn.

For Samuel’s reveal, From One Kid 2 Another provided new toys for him, his 8-yearold brother, Tristin, and his 4-year-old sister, Sabrina, courtesy of Imaginext Toys.

About five hospitals from the area reach out to Special Spaces, along with family members, friends and neighbors with children in need, according to Knox.

“Every child who’s sick deserves some happiness and that’s what we’re doing,” Knox said.

Once a child is chosen, a team from Special Spaces interviews the child to get an understanding of his or her favorite colors, themes and wishes.

At the room reveal last week, Donna Tavolino said Samuel’s new room is “absolutely perfect.” “[Special Spaces] is one amazing charity that does amazing things,” she said, adding that she and her husband Mark hope to become more involved with the organization in the future.

Seeing her son excited and happy during the reveal was all that mattered, according to Donna Tavolino.

“He’s ecstatic,” she said.

“And 10 minutes of happiness for him to forget what he has to go through is absolutely priceless.”

While the family will never be worry free, she said once the treatment is over, there’s a 90 percent chance it won’t come back.

“Samuel’s gone through more in life than I ever have,” the mother said. “…No kid should have to go through this.”

BUCKLE-UP YOUR VALENTINE The Downers Grove Police Department reminds you to "Buckle-Up Your Valentine" during the holiday and throughout the year. Valentine's Day is about showing the ones you love how much you care about them. One easy way you can demonstrate your love is to buckle up and insist that everyone you love does the same anytime they are riding in a motor vehicle.

Unrestrained or improperly restrained children riding in a motor vehicle are twice as likely to die or be severely injured in a crash.

The single most important thing you can do to protect your children is to buckle them up properly, every trip, every time.

Make sure your child safety seat is the right fit for your child and your vehicle. Downers Grove residents that need assistance installing their child safety seat can call Supervisor Tim Sembach at (630) 434-5636 to schedule an appointment with a certified child safety seat technician.

BUS DRIVERS WANTED The Village of Downers Grove is accepting applications for parttime bus drivers.

• MAYOR Continued from page 4 that was not so pleasant at the time,” he said.

Infrastructure was a big item in Downers Grove in 2013, and Tully said the village made about $20 million in capital improvements to sewers, sidewalks, streets and water infrastructure.

He said the controversial stormwater utility fee also increased the village’s revenue for stormwater projects by about $1 million.

Several new businesses came to Downers Grove in 2013 as well, and Tully made special mention of the new corporate headquarters for Advocate Health Care, which is now located in a pre-existing office building.

He also pointed toward the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy’s $20 million, 42,000-square-foot headquarters, Invesco PowerShares’ 100,000-square-foot regional headquarters and Danish water pump manufacturer Grundfos’ new, 11,000-squarefoot North American headquarters, among others.

“All of that is good news and again a testament to work by village staff and also the Economic Development Corporation and its staff and all of its members,” he said.

Irritable Bowel, Celiac, Crohn’s or Colitis?

Are you afraid to leave your house due to an unpredictable bowel?

Have you tried diferent treatments but continue to sufer?

Do you know the essentials for a healthy digestive system?

Have you given up and decided to just live with it? he digestive system assimilates food (carbs, fats and proteins) to produce energy. It breaks down food into nutrient forms that your body can absorb. It uses enzymes, good bacteria and hydrochloric acid to break down food to a usable form. Your gut is a barrier, a tube that starts in your mouth, continues as your esophagus, small intestine, large intestine and rectum. 80% of your immune system is in your gut. When you break down the barrier (gut lining), toxins can “leak” into the blood stream leading to an immune response, inlammation and food allergies. Hippocrates, the father of medicine said… “look to the gut, there will you ind the origin of almost all human illness.”

Hi, my name is Dr. Jefrey E. Forzley with Lemont Natural Healthcare. I am a chiropractic physician and a holistic practitioner. I am passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions. I have been in practice for 28 years. As a holistic practitioner I evaluate the nervous system, immune system, endocrine system (hormones), diet essentials (Neuro-‐Metabolic Care), manage the underlying cause and use natural therapies to manage digestive disorders. here are many essentials required for proper digestion.

Let’s talk about a few…

Zinc is necessary to make hydrochloric acid (HCL). HCL is needed to break down food (protein) in the stomach and for production of methyl groups. Methyl groups turn on tumor suppressor genes and turn of oncogenes leading to potential cancer growth. If HCL is deicient, this results in poor digestion and a many imbalances due to a deiciency of methyl groups. HCL deiciency also leads to growth of pathological bacteria like H. Pylori, which can cause gastritis, stomach ulcers and possibly stomach cancer.

Probiotics (good bacteria) are normally found in the gut.

Optimal levels are needed for a proper functioning digestive system. hese probiotics are also part of your immune

system. hey play an important role in the protective barrier in your gut. Your gut makes up 80% of your immune system due to this barrier system. Antibiotics kill pathologic bacteria and infections but they also kill good bacteria and cause gut dysbiosis (imbalance). his dysbiosis can lead to pathologic bacterial, yeast and parasitic infections as well as food allergies.

Digestive system inlammation is associated with IBS, Crohn’s, Celiac and Ulcerative Colitis. It is due to stress, poor diet, toxins and food allergies. Digestive inlammation leads to production of cytokines (inlammatory cells). hese cytokines travel in the blood to the brain and inlame the brain cells. he brain (mesencephalon) in turn controls the digestive system. his leads to a vicious cycle resulting in an inlammatory cascade which exponentially worsens over time. Successfully managing digestive conditions involves balancing the nervous system, digestive system and immune system as well as improving the diet, decreasing gut inlammation and detoxifying the body.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a digestive disorder that includes abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating and alternating constipation and diarrhea. he cause is unknown but theories include toxic overload, intestinal infections, inlammation from stress and poor diet generalized condition of the digestive system poor signaling from the brain to the digestive system for proper function.

Medications to treat digestive disorders can weaken your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer. hese medications may give you symptom relief but have side efects and DO NOT ADDRESS the UNDERLYING CAUSE of your condition.

Testimonial As someone who lives with chronic nausea, poor digestion and anxiety, I assumed I was out of options when countless doctors told me that there was nothing else they could do for me. hey told me it was likely all in my head. hen I visited Dr. Forzley and he told me from the initial consultation that he was very conident he could help me. I was so excited that I cried. No other doctor has ever been so much on my side. Now, 8 weeks into treatment, I am nausea free, anxiety free and my digestion is normal. I have started living a life I never thought I could live. My body is a machine, slowed and dirtied by processed foods and environmental toxins.

But with the help of Dr. Forzley, my body is on the way back to an optimal state for long term health and happiness.

Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is a digestive condition that involves gluten sensitivity like Celiac Disease but is not an autoimmune disorder. It involves digestive symptoms (pain, bloating…), fatigue, joint pains as well as neurologic symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, poor memory, brain fog and diiculty concentrating.

Celiac Disease, Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are autoimmune diseases. An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your body instead of protecting it. here is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders. But you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY and decrease the efects of the tissue destruction.

If you have an autoimmune disease like Celiac, Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis and you do not balance and calm down the autoimmune destruction, your immune system can attack other tissues and cause multiple autoimmune disorders. It is common for people with an autoimmune disorder to have multiple autoimmune diseases for this reason.

Medications are not always the long term answer.

30 minute consultation:

Holistic therapy can manage digestive conditions by: 1) inding and balancing the underlying cause and…

2) using natural therapies that work with your body.

Restaurant reviews

Thai Pot stirs affection for traditional cuisine DOWNERS GROVE – Thai fare has become more commonplace over the years, and, like many other adopted cuisines, often more Americanized. Breading, cream, sugary sauces and less traditional spices frequently are incorporated. Thai Pot seems to resist that temptation, offering authentic flavors and food, to good result.

During my first visit to the restaurant, I stopped by for lunch. Tucked into a strip mall in Downers Grove, the storefront eatery has a bright, appealingly decorated interior.

The full menu is not available midday, when the restaurant focuses on a selection of weekday lunch specials, which are fairly diverse and very well priced. For just under $8, you get soup, the appetizer of the day and a well-portioned entree.

The meal started with a simple yet delicious chicken and jasmine rice soup. It reminded me of my mom’s best chicken noodle, but the jasmine and a smattering of other Thai spices gave it an extra layer of savory that really set it apart. All the components were cooked well, and the broth had an almost buttery texture.

The aromatic fish sauce and spices in the red curry with tofu, which usually are muted by lots of coconut sauce, wafted my way as the server approached the table.

The emphasis was on the spicy chili sauce in the curry, a dish overflowing with veggies and tofu.

The tofu itself melted in my

mouth. It was boiled, not fried, giving it an eggy texture.

After the satisfying lunch, I was curious to check out the full menu, and followed up another day with a dinner visit.

I started with an order of Shrimp Cigars – admittedly chosen because of the great name. They were big plump shrimp, tail-on, alongside Thai basil and a bit of onion, all wrapped and fried in a wonton wrapper. The visual was a great one, and the presentation allowed the shrimp to stay the star.

My entree of spicy basil leaves with chicken had a great blend of flavors, particularly the sauce. It contained just enough basil to add a nice punch. I would have liked even more of the gravy, simply because it was so good.

Thai Pot’s greatest strength is its commitment to authenticity. Thai is one of my favorite cuisines – I love the Americanized versions just as much as I love the ones straight from the recipes of Thai grandmothers – and Thai Pot managed to throw in a couple flavors I hadn’t experienced before.

Diners who would like to push their boundaries a bit, or those who already relish the more traditional flavors, will want to find out what’s cooking at Thai Pot.

Downers Grove South’s Matt Zinnecker brings the ball upcourt in a Jan. 18 game against Kenwood. Zinnecker and the Mustangs used the 3-point shot to emerge with a win in Saturday’s crosstown game against Downers Grove North.

Deep ball lifts South in crosstown rivalry

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Kris Olsen compared the 3-point shot in basketball to a home run in baseball in terms of its impact on a game.

“It’s like a deep home run in baseball,” Olsen said. “I hear the chatter around the school and the community – this team can shoot the ball. When we begin to hit 3s early, our crowd really gets into the game.”

The Downers Grove South boys basketball coach saw his team hit plenty of home runs in Saturday’s crosstown clash

Trojans’ comeback for a 68-55 victory.

It’s not only the Mustang guards who are willing to pull DOWNERS GROVE SOUTH LEADERS up from downtown – the for• Kovas Rugienius: 17 points wards and centers also like to • Danny Spinuzza: 12 points get into the mix. Seven different South players hit 3sagainst DOWNERS GROVE NORTH LEADER North, and center Kovas Rugienius tied guard Paul Engo Devin Blake: 24 points III for the team lead with three 3-pointers.

“That’s our game,” Rugieagainst visiting rival Downers nius said. “We run an uptempo Grove North. The sharp-shoot- offense and we like to get up ing Mustangs nailed 5-of-8 and down the floor. If a player shots from behind the arc in has an open three, he will take the first quarter, building a it.”

lem pushing the ball up court and finding shooters in the early going against North. Engo, Rugienius, Danny Spinuzza and forward Matt Zinnecker all sunk 3-pointers before the Trojans recorded a point.

But Downers Grove North closed the first quarter on a 10-3 run to cut the deficit to single digits.

In the second quarter, the Mustangs nailed 3-of-7 from 3-point range, carrying a 33-22 lead into halftime. For the game, Downers Grove South knocked down 11 shots from long distance, compared to five Downers Grove North 3-pointers.

“We wanted to play at our pace tonight,” Olsen said. “We wanted to play fast and uptempo. When we are able to execute that, it creates offense for our shooters.

“North came out on us and pressured us in the second half so we started slashing to the basket and being more selective with our 3-point shots.”

The Mustangs opened a 48-28 lead in the third quarter and, in spite of a game-high 24 points from Trojans’ forward Devin Blake, Downers Grove North could not complete its comeback bid.

Why Rugienius was selected Rugienius scored 17 points in Saturday’s crosstown clash, leading the Mustangs to a 68-55 victory against Downers Grove North.

What was the game plan when facing a bigger Downers Grove North team?

I try to play the same way every game. Coming in, we knew they were a bigger team, so I wanted to use my quickness and outside shooting ability to my advantage.

What does it mean to get this win at home over your rival?

It’s a huge win. We always love to beat our rivals. It’s good for the fans, too. There is always a lot of hype going into these games, so it’s nice to protect home court and generate some momentum going toward the playoffs.

We just need to play our game and execute. With five games left in the regular season, we can’t get caught looking ahead to the playoffs.

We just want to finish the season strong and get better with every game.

Do you think this team has a playoff run in it?

DOWNERS GROVE – The goal from the beginning of the season for Downers Grove North’s girls basketball team was to win the West Suburban Silver title.

Mission accomplished.

A 53-43 win Friday over Lyons Township combined with Hinsdale Central’s victory against Proviso West on Feb. 4 gave the Trojans their first outright conference championship in school history. According to head coach Stephan Bolt, the team’s chemistry went a long way to

An emphatic 51-35 win over Proviso West on Feb. 1 kept them in the hunt for the conference crown. The backto-back losses to North and Hinsdale Central were just the second time Proviso West dropped consecutive games all season.

Junior Peyton Winters led the way against Lyons with 17 points, 10 blocks and four rebounds. Sarah Costello chipped in 10 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and four steals.

The next day, the Trojans emerged victorious in a crosstown clash against Downers Grove South, 58-35.

Downers Grove South Senior | Basketball

It was a great team effort.

I think we got into a rhythm early and that really helped us as the game progressed.

We were able to move the ball around the perimeter and hit all the open players. When Paul [Engo III] and Danny [Spinuzza] found me on the outside, I made a few threes that gave us an early lead.

its conference title.

“I know I’ve said it all year, but this group of girls is so close, they really love playing with and for each other,” Bolt said. “They have bought in to the system and worked really hard to get to this point.

“We feel really good about where we are right now. Obviously there is always room for improvement, but we are playing with a lot of confidence and are excited to start postseason play.”

The conference finale versus Lyons capped an impressive season for the Trojans, who improved to 23-3 overall, and went 11-1 in WSS play.

What was working for you in the first half?

By ALEX SOULIER

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Rugienius had the hot hand early for the Mustangs, drilling a trio of first quarter 3-pointers. When the Trojan defense pressured the South shooters in the second half, the senior center made them pay, converting eight points in the paint in the second half. Rugienius, the Sears Hardware and Appliance Athlete of the Week, spoke with Suburban Life sports reporter Alex Soulier about the victory over rival North, the Mustangs’ run-andgun offense, and team’s playoff aspirations.

Postseason pairings set for DG North, South ton North regional.

If South moves on to the regional semis, the team will face host Wheaton North for a shot to make the regional final game on Feb. 20.

The Mustangs run their offense from the inside out, powered by senior forward Claire Hardy and junior forward Ava Porlier.

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com The Class 1A and 2A girls basketball playoffs tip off this week, while Class 3A and 4A postseason play gets underway next week. While the start dates and locations for some area teams are different, the end goal is the same — to reach Redbird Arena in Normal for the state finals.

The Trojans begin their march toward a sectional title with a game against the winner of Lake Park and Glenbard North. Should the Trojans advance to the regional finals, they could face regional host York in the Feb. 21 title game with a berth in the sectional semifinals on the line. North would not have to face the top seed in the Addison Trail sectional, Wheaton Warrenville South, until the sectional championship on Feb. 27.

Cristo Rey Jesuit Outlook: The Sentinels steadily improved as the season progressed, collecting nine wins – four against Interstate Eight Conference competition – after starting the season 0-6.

With 2A postseason play beginning this week, Westmont must quickly prepare for Wednesday’s matchup against Cristo Rey Jesuit. If the No. 3 seed Sentinels upset No. 2 regional host Cristo Rey Jesuit, they could meet top-seeded Tilden in the regional finals on Friday. A potential meeting with rival Lisle would not come until the sectional semifinals.

The backcourt combo of Mara Casper and AnneMarie Carlson have shown that they can carry the Westmont offense when necessary. In the team’s recent victory over Lisle, the duo accounted for 35 of the team’s 39 points.

Confident Bonomo wrestles to regional title Downers Grove North crowns three champs, South sends eight to sectional

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE – Nick Bonomo remembers losing in a regional final last year, and that loss helped motivate him to finish the job Saturday.

Bonomo won the 170-pound division at the Lyons Township regional to advance to sectionals in a big way. He pinned

Morton’s Adrian Cardenas, the first time Cardenas had been pinned all season, in the final.

“I’m just wrestling with a lot of confidence out there, going out there trying to pin my opponent and keep the energy high,” Bonomo said. “It’s awesome to finally win one. Losing in the finals last year in the last couple seconds was pretty

heartbreaking. It was the motivation to get it this year.”

The senior will bring a 39-2 record to the Hinsdale Central sectional. He has a lofty goal for himself the rest of this postseason.

“Win the state tournament,” Bonomo said. “I think that’s the goal you have to go in with. That’s the mindset you have to go in with.

“I only got one shot at it, so I hope to get to the state finals.”

In addition to Bonomo, Pat Walker (106 pounds) and Mike Gastaldello (160) also won re-

gional titles for the Trojans.

The Trojans were third in the team standings behind host Lyons Township and the Mustangs. Diego Rodriguez (132), Milad Abd (152) and Edwin Phillips (285) also got through to the sectional by winning third-place matches.

Joe Nugent was South’s only regional champion, winning three matches at 132 pounds. The junior is 27-3.

The Mustangs were 1-4 in championship matches. Tyree Johnson (138), Shawn Jager (160), Ryan Gurski (182) and Michael Hobbs (285) lost in finals.
