Downers Grove resident Janie Bawel prepares for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ride Janie Rideâ&#x20AC;? fundraiser Monday. Friends and family of Janie started the fundraiser when she had Hodgkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lymphoma that is now in remission but have continued their efforts for local cancer victims. The fundraiser will be May 4th.

Bawel organized the initial event as a surprise two years after she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lymphoma at the age of 42. She was struggling after a recent stem cell transplant and was too sick to make the ride the first year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in wheelchair, I had to wear a mask,â&#x20AC;? she said, recalling the first ride, when the succession of bikes rode by her home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could hear this loud rumbling and 500 motorcycles went by. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even think I know 500 people. Now I do, anyway. It was amazing.â&#x20AC;?

Ever since, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wanted to pay it forward, and she and her husband have kept the event growing with the help of a volunteer board, along with direc-

tor and founder Luke Pennings.

Bawel has been in remission since 2007 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the transplant from a 23-year-old German man saved her life, she said.

But because it came from a man and someone not in her family, the side effects have been rough, and she is on a regular regimen of antirejection drugs.

The path has not been easy for her husband Brandon Bawel, either.

Last year, he was diagnosed with jaw cancer. The couple missed the race and lived in Texas for three months as doctors replaced his lower jaw and treated him with radiation, she said. The race continued on with the direction of

The Bawels are back this year and hope to make it the biggest ride yet.

Last year, Ride Janie Ride raised nearly $100,000 for its recipients, and she hopes to sur-

pass that figure in 2014. Like the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Learys and the Bawels, almost all of the 19 recipient families now come back and volunteer every year, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They bring more and more people every year,â&#x20AC;? she said.

DOWNERS GROVE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When 700 bikers rev their motorcycles to start the annual Ride Janie Ride fundraiser, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acceptable for the tough guys to shed tears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have the hearts of teddy bears,â&#x20AC;? volunteer Sue Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are there donating to help these families.â&#x20AC;?

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Learyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband and her brother rode in the initial years of the annual charity ride that raises money for leukemia and non-Hodgkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lymphoma patients, not knowing that the disease would soon hit close to home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little did we know that our daughter was going to be diagnosed with leukemia,â&#x20AC;?

Sue Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found out Sept. 12, 2009. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an easy thing to process. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen to you.â&#x20AC;?

For residents like the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Learys, the growing fundraiser becomes an extended family, helping not only with a large donation toward medical bills but also with emotional support. Four years later, Kayla is doing well and will ride passenger on her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bike during the police-escorted, 50mile ride. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The organization definitely has a special place in my daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She gets very excited, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always looking forward to meeting the new kids.

She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the situation of how sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting them, but she definitely has something in common with them.â&#x20AC;?

DuPage County officials lobby for pension reform Mayors call pension Police and fire pension history funds â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unsustainableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; YEAR POLICE PENSION LEVY POLICE UNFUNDED LIABILITY

By ED MCMENAMIN \dZd\eXd`e7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd DOWNERS GROVE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Downers Grove Mayor Martin Tully and other mayors lobbied state officials in Springfield last week to reform municipal police and fire pension funds they say are unsustainable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state legislature determines pension benefit levels, but the costs of those benefits are the responsibility of the municipal taxpayers,â&#x20AC;? said Tully, who made the trip along with other members of the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference.

The trip to Springfield piggybacks on a recent bill approved by lawmakers to overhaul pensions for some city of Chicago workers.

Tully and other municipal leaders laid the blame for the skyrocketing unfunded liabilities in police and fire pension funds on eight pension â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweeten-

ers,â&#x20AC;? added by Illinois legislators over the last 20 years, including increased cost-of-living adjustments which exceed inflation.

Tully said the result is the taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cost of a public safety employeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pension is nearly double the cost they pay for other municipal employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The public safety pension systems must be fixed to ensure that the burden on our taxpayers is fair and to ensure the cost to taxpayers is affordable,â&#x20AC;? Tully said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are open to negotiating changes that will bring about pension systems which are sustainable for the long term.â&#x20AC;?

From 2004 to 2010 in Illinois, municipal contributions increased from $247 million to $511 million, Tully said, but the average finding levels dropped from 64 percent to 55 percent.

Pat Devaney, president of the Associated Fire Fighters of Illinois, said comments from DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference attempt to shift the blame for the underfunded liability towards workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; benefits and away from the real causes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; municipalities not having made adequate payments and losses in the stock market during the recession.

third cause â&#x20AC;&#x201C; inflated actuarial assumptions for investment returns that lead municipalities to contribute less. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some very healthy funds all operating under the same requirements as the funds that are very poorly funded,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only variable is how responsible the employer has been in making their contributions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all in favor of reform, and I think we all need to take a look at the system and create some solutions. But they should be based on the causes of the problem.â&#x20AC;?

Downers Grove has continued to pay more into the funds every year, yet it is still falling further behind as the liability grows, according to figures provided by the village.

In 2004, the village contributed $866,178 to the police pension fund, which at the time was funded at 73.5 percent, and had an unfunded liability of $9.8 million. This year, the village contributed $2.3 million, but the liability has grown to $34.65 million. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now funded at 54.5 percent.

THE PERIODONTIST Q: What is a periodontist?

A: A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gum disease. The periodontist is one of the numerous specialists that practice within the general framework of dentistry. General practitioners and specialists alike go through the education required for the basic dental degree. Specialists go on for another two or three years to learn the specifics of their chosen area. The word periodontist, incidentally, comes from the Greek words “peri,” meaning “around” and “odont,” the word for tooth.

Most tooth loss occurs as the result of gum disease and deterioration of the bone supporting the teeth. That’s why the periodontist is so important in the oral health system. If detected early, periodontal, or gum, disease can be treated in non-surgical ways. The periodontist may be able to scrape accumulated plaque from the roots of the teeth to stop bacteria from growing. The periodontist, because of his or her familiarity with the bone support system, also is the best person to weigh in on whether a patient is a candidate for dental implants, which are set into the jaw bone.

Ideally, you don’t want to ever require the services of a periodontist. The best way to keep your gums and teeth healthy is to visit your dentist regularly and maintain good oral care habits–brushing and flossing–at home. Talk with your dentist about the areas of dental specialty.

Indian Chinese cuisine goes back over 100 years when people of Chinese origin moved to India across the North East Border and settled in Calcutta. Most of these immigrants were of Hakka ancestry. Over the years they adapted the Chinese cuisine for the locale Indian seasoning and cooking techniques.

This is how Indian Chinese fusion began.

TOP 5 SPRING EVENTS

Spring brings variety of activities to Downers Grove

By ED McMENAMIN \dZd\eXd`e7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd Residents might not need extra encouragement to leave the house following an endlessly-awful winter, but spring in Downers Grove brings a wide variety of activities and events for all ages and interests.

Here are five spring events for 2014:

1. The Taste of 630 returns

2. Lyman Woods Wildflower Walks set for May 3

Anyone feeling guilty about accumulating a little extra padding over winter or the number of appetizers gorged at the Taste of 630 can walk it off two days later in Lyman Woods.

Volunteer Naturalist Lance Herning will guide two Wilderness & Wildflower Walks through the preserve on May 3.

“The most wonderful thing about a walk the first week of May is the typically incredible wildflower display in the south 17 acres of Lyman Woods,” Herning said in a press release. “In addition, we have over 100 species of trees and shrubs in Lyman and that will likely be an additional focus for us, as trees are one of my favorite subjects.”

Each group will be limited to about 15 participants.

Walkers will spend about 90 minutes exploring the woods and fields of the nature preserve.

When: Two walks, one at 10 a.m. and the other at noon on May 3 Where: Walks begin at the Interpretive Center, 31st Street More Info: Walkers are asked to register in advance and make a small contribution to Pierce Downer’s Heritage Alliance. To reserve a spot, visit www.PDHA.org.

Council to vote on fourth Downers Grove Starbucks

By ED MCMENAMIN \dZd\eXd`e7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd DOWNERS GROVE – The Downers Grove Village Council responded positively, though with some reservation about traffic congestion, to a new Starbucks Coffee proposed for Butterfield Road.

The council heard the first reading of three zoning and permit items related to the proposed coffee shop at its regular meeting April 8.

The Starbucks is planned for the parking lot space to

the east of Portillo’s in the Finley Square Shopping Center in the 1500 block of Butterfield Road, an area council members said receives heavy amounts of traffic and pedestrians, especially during prime shopping hours.

“I’m just concerned with the pedestrian safety,” Commissioner Sean Durkin said.

“It just seems like there is so much activity there.”

Community Development Director Tom Dabareiner said the petitioner did address the issue of congestion,

and village staff believes that it will not be an issue because Starbuck’s peak hours differs from the shopping center’s peak hours.

Overall, Commissioner Becky Rheintgen supported the project along with green space the petitioner plans to include but agreed traffic is a concern at Downers Drive and Butterfield Road.

“Trying to negotiate that stop light from either direction is kind of a nightmare,” she said.

Village Manager David

Fieldman said the village has future plans to update the traffic signal at the intersection, which could alleviate some traffic concerns.

He added village staff could also work with the shopping center owner regarding improvements to foot and vehicle traffic in the parking lot in general. Village staff also added in its documentation for council that the shopping center typically has a shortage of parking.

The council will likely vote on the item Tuesday.

The petitioner is requesting a special use for a drive-thru, among other procedural items, all of which were unanimously approved by the plan commission.

If approved, the new Butterfield Road location would be the fourth Starbucks in Downers Grove. In September, the council unanimously approved a new Starbucks planned for 1149 Ogden Ave., which is under construction.

Existing Starbucks locations include 5002 Main St. and 76 Ogden Ave.

The importance of outdoor play at camp As kids, one of our deepest, simplest joys is playing outdoors. Outdoor play has enormous benefits on many levels. It nourishes children’s physical, social and emotional development, while connecting them to the wealth of resources available in their backyards, neighborhoods, cities and region.

Children who play outdoors regularly become fitter and leaner, develop stronger immune systems, have more active imaginations, have lower stress levels, play more creatively and have greater respect for themselves and others. Children that play freely with peers develop skills for seeing things COMMUNITY through another person’s VOICE point of view: cooperating, Brandi helping, sharing and solving Beckley problems. And beyond all of this, it’s just plain fun.

Play is an active form of learning. Navigating the jungle gym, negotiating an obstacle course, playing tag or playing a sport requires kids to learn intricate behaviors of planning, balance and strength while feeling the sun and wind on their cheeks. Other health benefits of outdoor play not only include reduced obesity rates, but also increased vitamin D intake and reduced myopia (near sightedness). Outdoor play provides children with the opportunity to be more carefree; it is a time when children can freely move their bodies and express their voices at a higher volume than when indoors.

If you’re driving by Hummer Park this summer, you may notice lots of kids taking part in our Adventure Camp. The summer camp experience is meant to give kids an opportunity for physical activity, competence and achievement, self-definition, creative self-expression, positive social interactions, structure and clear limits, and meaningful participation. In today’s pressure-oriented society, summer camp provides a nonthreatening environment for our youth to be active and learn about their abilities in a community designed just for them.

“We want to reshape the way parents think of camp, not as babysitting, day care or just playing on the playground, but a place that builds their child’s character and strengthens their relationships with other campers and counselors,” Downers Grove Park District Recreation Supervisor Matt Netrefa said.

Consider camp the perfect partner to family, school and community youth activities in an atmosphere of creativity and enrichment under the supervision of caring and trained professionals. When combined with outdoor play, it’s a win-win. For more information about Downers Grove Park District Summer Camps, visit dgparks.org.

Brandi Beckley is the external affairs manager for the Downers Grove Park District.

SOUND OFF

In response to the Sound Off item titled “Religious folks charged stormwater fees twice,” while I don’t argue that the [reader] has the perfect right to disagree with the village’s decision to require Downers Grove churches to pay a stormwater fee, the caller’s statement that the City Council “has a problem with Downers Grove residents that try to live out their life of faith” is a huge stretch, and frankly, insulting to council members.

Is the reader trying to suggest that council members are not people of faith, simply by virtue of their decision to impose the fee on churches? Imposing a stormwater tax on an organiza-

tion in no way equates to interfering with a citizen’s religious freedom; it simply requires that churches, like any other Downers Grove organization, pay their ... share toward alleviating water and flooding problems that affect a number of Downers Grove locations. If churches are exempted from paying the stormwater fee, the funds will have to be collected elsewhere, which would necessitate village businesses and/or residents subsidizing the churches in this regard.

Your wheelchair almost tips over, and then if you ride in the street, it’s really dangerous, plus people will report you because you’re in the street. The sidewalks are really bad. They’re bumpy, and they’re rough. Mine has tipped over and people have had to jump out of their car to help me.

Illinois teacher pensions are primarily funded by taxpayers.

Many teachers and administrators take out what they contributed to the system during the first two to three years of retirement. The taxpayers fund the rest of their retirement.

Currently, teachers can retire at age 55 with full benefits after 35 years of service. They can also retire at 55 with slightly reduced benefits after 20 years of service.

Teachers can get a maximum of 75 percent of their final average salary and an annual 3 percent cost of living increase, compounded annually. What the pension pays out is guaranteed, unlike the money put into an IRA or 401k plan.

Legislators need to solve the “underfunded” pension system by having teachers retire at the same age as Social Security, which for many of the baby boomers has been moved to age 67.

In addition, they should do away with the current pension plan for all new hires and put them on Social Security with a 401k-type retirement plan similar to what the private sector and many local governments have done. Don’t listen to the teachers and union leadership who continue to “cry poor!”

Are you suffering with an

Autoimmune condition?

Living with an autoimmune disorder can affect every part of your life. It keeps you from enjoying the good things in life… time with your kids, grandkids, activities like golfing, biking, yard work and gardening.

Did you know that leaky gut syndrome is a precursor to an autoimmune disease?

Did you know that your gut makes up 80% of your immune system?

An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your own body. There is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders, but you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY. My name is Dr. Jeffrey 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 whole body and the many systems of the body, integrate their relationships, manage the underlying cause and use natural methods to manage autoimmune disorders.

Are you suffering with any of these autoimmune disorders?

• Hashimotos Throiditis • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Graves Disease • Multiple Sclerosis • Scleroderma • Sjogren’s Syndrome • Type 1 Diabetes • Myasthenia Gravis • Ankylosing Spondylitis • Perniscious Anemia

• Lupus • ALS • Psoriasis • Vasculitis • Celiac Disease • Crohn’s Disease • Addison’s Disease • Urticaria (Hives) • Eczema • Raynauds

Medications are not always the long term answer.

Medications can give you temporary relief but they DO NOT ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING CAUSE of your immune imbalance. All medications have side effects. These side effects can be more detrimental than the original symptoms sometimes.

Did you know that medications to treat autoimmune conditions can WEAKEN your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer? There is a time to use medications but not before a NATURAL way to manage the underlying imbalance.

So how do I help people with autoimmune disorders? I use a combination of specific NEUROLOGICAL protocols and NUTRITION recommendations… Neuro-Metabolic Therapy.

Your Brain (nervous System) controls all other systems of the body. It controls your immune system. digestive system, endocrine (hormone) system… so if you have an immune system imbalance or autoimmune condition, evaluating and managing the nervous system is required for optimal improvement.

Your immune system.

There are 2 parts to the front line defense of your immune system… TH1 (white blood cells) and TH2 (antibody response). These 2 parts should work in balance together. But when you are suffering from an autoimmune disorder, one part is out of balance (dominant). This leads to an imbalance in TH3 which in turn leads to an autoimmune response.

Testimonials I was diagnosed with Graves Disease (autoimmune thyroid) three years ago. My endocrinologist recommended surgery to remove my thyroid and put me on medication for the rest of my life. I searched for an alternative treatment to save my thyroid and found Dr. Forzley. Through comprehensive lab testing he found out what was causing my immune system to attack my thyroid. I have been receiving treatments and following his recommendations exactly and my lab numbers are now normal, my endocrinologist is happy, my medication has been reduced in half and I feel better. I highly recommend Dr. Forzley and his natural approach.

Samantha R. I suffered from unbearable itching caused by Hives (chronic autoimmune Urticaria) for over 33 years. Steroid medications helped the symptoms temporarily but the side effects were bad.

After an in-depth blood and metabolic analysis, Dr. Forzley found the cause of my problem. After 4-5 months of strictly following his recommendations, my hives are completely gone and I feel great.

Cheryl P. If your immune system is not managed properly, your condition can worsen, result in a poor quality of life, cause a shortening of the length of your life and cause other autoimmune disorders.

Holistic Therapy can manage autoimmune conditions by: 1) finding and balancing the underlying cause.

2) lowering the self destructive effects of the immune system.

3) using natural therapies that work with your body.

I can work with your immune system NATURALLY and balance the TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17. You can never be cured of an autoimmune disorder.

BUT, you can get symptom relief and calm down the immune attack on you own body. You must get a detailed immune system evaluation followed by specific recommendation based on those tests.

Guess what stimulates TH1?Vitamin C. But if you are TH1 dominant, Taking vitamin C will WORSEN your immune response. That’s right worsen. We need to identify which part of your immune system is dominant in order to calm down the immune system.

I don’t treat or cure autoimmune disorders.

By using specific neurological and nutritional protocols, I help to decrease your body’s inflammation, detoxify your body, balance TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17 which NATURALLY boosts your immune system. THAT is how I address autoimmune disorders.

O’Neill science teacher chosen as Golden Apple finalist SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA DOWNERS GROVE – O’Neill Middle School seventh-grade science teacher Meg Van Dyke is one of two DuPage County teachers to be named a 2014 finalist for the Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching.

A total of 32 finalists were selected from a pool of 620 nominations and 272 applicants representing fourththrough eighth-grade teachers throughout the Chicago metropolitan area, according to a press release from Downers Grove School District 58.

The finalists will participate in a final round of review and observations before the selection and announcement of the 10 award recipients. A Celebration of Excellence in honor of the 32 finalists will be held Saturday at the Chicago O’Hare Marriott.

“I was surprised, delighted and humbled to find out I had been nominated for the Golden Apple Award,” Dr. Van Dyke said in a press release. “It is a truly an honor to be considered for this distinction, and to see teachers recognized for their dedication to this profes-

JEROME E. MALY Jerome Edward Maly, age 84, born March 14, 1930, passed away peacefully in his home in Wilton Manors, Florida on April 8, 2014. He was surrounded by family and most importantly, his wife and the love of his life of 63 years, Wilma (nee Simonelli).

"Maly", as he was known to his friends and family, was formerly from Downers Grove, Illinois, where he lived and raised his family.

He is also survived by his 3 daughters, Marianne (Bill) Springborn, Debbie (John) Forsythe and Donna (Rich) Maly-Fairbairn; 4 grandchildren, Christopher Altman, Michael Altman, Eric Covay and Lauren Andersen; and 8 greatgrandchildren.

"Maly" was a master carpenter, and founder and owner of Maly Construction. He loved cars, great food, blueberries and growing orchids, but his legacy will live on in the most masterful work he ever created - his loving family.

For the fire fund, the liability has grown from $13.48 million in 2004 to $30.06 million in 2013. In the 2004, the village contributed $1.4 million, and in 2014 it contributed $2.47 million. The funding percentage dropped slightly from 56.8 percent to 55.5 percent.

Those numbers nearly mirror the statewide aggregate numbers, according to analysis provided by the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability.

The biggest drops in funding levels occurred following the recession when the economy and stock market collapsed.

Reforms supported by the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference include revising the 3 percent compounded cost of living increase, which is currently added to benefits

“I am excited to learn how this opportunity can positively impact my future teaching in Illinois in the coming years, and I look forward to collaborating with such an esteemed and dedicated group of educators in the future.”

Golden Apple has recognized outstanding teachers throughout Illinois every year since 1986, according to a press release from the Golden Apple Foundation.

Created by founders Mike and Pat Koldyke, the Golden Apple Awards for Excellence in Teaching recognize and honor outstanding teachers for their role in building a stronger, better-educated society. Golden Apple’s mission is to inspire, develop and support teacher excellence in Illinois.

The Golden Apple Awards concentrate on specific grade levels each year: In 2014, the focus was on fourth- through eighth-grade teachers.

Golden Apple’s selection committee is comprised of prominent retired teachers, college and university professors, administrators and former Golden Apple Award recipients.

each year. Other reforms include increasing the employee contribution toward pensions and increasing the retirement age or the number of years of work required to attain the maximum pension payment.

As payments have increased, municipalities are having to use a larger chunk of property taxes to make the payments. Some municipalities have cut staff or services to make room for the expanding contributions. This year in Downers Grove, all of the $583,000 property tax levy increase went toward pensions.

“It hasn’t been affecting us in terms of services we’d have to cut or reduce,” Tully said. “But every year if we have to raise our property taxes even a little bit, at what point in time does the electorate say ‘knock it off,’ or ‘we’re not going to stand for it, we want you to cut something else.’ ”

Here’s what some of the top medical researchers had to say about chiropractic…

“Manipulation [chiropractic adjustments], with or without exercise, improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.”

– British Medical Journal

Having back and leg pain can bring life to a standstill.

You might not be able to play golf, work, or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It’s almost impossible for anyone around you to understand how you feel.

You can’t remember the last time you even had a restful night’s sleep.

You’ve got too many dreams left undone to let back pain slow you down. Too many special moments waiting to be experienced.

My name is Dr. Mike DeCubellis, owner of Main Street Chiropractic. Over the past 5 years since we’ve opened the doors, I’ve seen hundreds of people with back pain leave the office pain free.

Because I’ve seen it with my own eyes, I strongly “Chiropractor’s manipulation of the spine was more believe… Back pain is NOT “just a part of life” and helpful than any of the following: traction, massage, something you have to live with.

biofeedback, acupuncture, injection of steroids into the spine and back corsets, and ultrasound.” – Stanley Bigos, MD, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery This means in just a matter of weeks you could be back on the golf course, enjoying your love life, or traveling again.

For those that call in the next 2 weeks, I’m running a very special offer where you can find out how much this amazing treatment can help your back pain.

What does this offer include? Everything I normally do in my new patient evaluation for only $15.

Just call before April 30 and here’s what you’ll get…

An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen… really listen… to the details of your case. A complete neuromuscular examination, full set of specialized x-rays (if necessary), and a thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free.

You’ll get to see everything first hand and find out if this amazing treatment will be your back pain solution, like it has been for so many other patients.

Life is too short to let pain slow you down. Call 630-435-6461 Does not apply to people with Medicare or Medicaid.

Junior Woman’s Club to host Batten disease fundraiser If you go

By ED McMENAMIN \dZd\eXd`e7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd DOWNERS GROVE – The Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club will host its first annual Spring Spree Shop for Charity event April 24 at Emmett’s Ale House to benefit Noah’s Hope, a Downers Grovebased charity that funds research on Batten disease.

Tracy and Jennifer VanHoutan started the charity after two of their children, Noah, 10, and Laine, 8, were diagnosed with the rare disease.

Children with Batten disease develop normally at first, and then slowly lose motor functions and suffer gradual mental deterioration and vision loss until eventually dying from the disease. Tracy said Noah and Laine have been stable over the last year.

Europe, Tracy said.

“It would be a great treatment, but it would be therapy and not a cure,” he said. “We continue to work in parallel on different treatments and on things that could potentially be a cure one day.”

Residents looking to help the charity can attend the Junior Woman’s Club’s Shopping Spree at Emmett’s Ale House this month.

Shoppers will be able to find unique gifts for upcoming holidays and special occasions such as Mother’s Day, teacher appreciation, birthdays, graduations, and baby and wedding showers. There will be more than 10 local artisans and vendors showcasing a variety of items including handcrafted jewelry, handbags, home decor, and children’s clothing and accessories.

A door prize raffle will also take place with gifts from the artisans as well as a gift card from Emmett’s Ale House.

“It’s so powerful what they’ve been trying to do in the community,” Junior Woman’s Club membership chair Anne Healy said of the VanHoutans.

“Anything we can do as an organization to help their cause and mission, and since they’re local in the community, it just makes it even more special for us.”

The event is also the same night as Downtown Downers Grove Management Corporations Spring Girls Night Out, and Healy said she hopes the two events can play off of each other.

“Hopefully we will drive more traffic to that and vice versa,” she said.

PLATFORM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AT DOWNERS GROVE MAIN STREET TRAIN STATION

HOME CHORE PROGRAM

This Metra project will replace the concrete platform at the Main Street Station.

Work will involve breaking up the old layers of concrete with a jackhammer, hauling them away, and replacing the platform with new concrete.

The Village of Downers Grove offers the Home Chore Program to match employers and employees. Through this program, the Village of Downers Grove is acting as a referral service only.

On April 16, 2014, construction workers will begin fencing off the west ends of both the inbound and outbound platforms of the Main Street Train Station in preparation of the work. The work on this part of the platform is projected to take two to three months. Once the western portions of the platforms are completed, the east ends of each platform will be closed off and work will begin to replace them. The work planned for the east end will also include the construction of a pedestrian diversion on the east end of each platform at Washington Street.

Individuals participating in the Home Chore Program have expressed an interest in providing services such as snow removal, cleaning gutters, handiwork (general fix-it or minor repairs), moving or lifting, house cleaning, yard work, shopping or errands, window washing, giving rides, pet sitting, companionship, or miscellaneous chores.

Residents are reminded that Federal law requires all trains to sound their horns whenever workers are present.

STAY INFORMED: Please visit the Village of Downers Grove Web site (www.downers.us) to keep informed of the project’s progress.

The Village of Downers Grove neither investigates nor endorses the participants. As an employer, you and the Home Chore participant you select will negotiate payment, scope of project, scheduling, and any other arrangements.

To receive a list of participants for a particular chore or to apply to be on the list, please contact the Village of Downers Grove at 630-434-5500.

The Village is phasing out the use of the Cash Key system for meter payment in commuter parking lots. The meters in the Fairview Avenue Train Station Lot I have been replaced with numbered spots and payment stations. The meters on the north side of the tracks at the Fairview Station and the meters in Lot F on Warren Avenue near the Main Street Train Station will remain for the time being. The Village no longer allows commuters to add value to cash keys, but the remaining balance on cash keys can be used until meters are removed. Meters can also be paid in quarters. Cash Key owners may request a refund through July 1, 2014, for any unused balance at Village Hall (Monday, Wednesday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.; Tuesday, 8:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m.)

oday’s parents know that it’s not always easy to instill a love of reading in children.

Whether they are watching television, dabbling with their smartphones, toying with their tablets or engaging in social media, youngsters now have more distractions at their disposal than ever before. So it’s no surprise that many youngsters may not be too enthusiastic about abandoning their gadgets in exchange for curling up with a good book.

But instilling a love of reading in kids early on can pay a lifetime of dividends. Children learn at a much faster pace during their first six years than at any other time in their lives, and the right kind of stimulation during these years can provide the foundation for future learning.

In addition, reading at an early age can inspire a child’s creativity and imagination.

Though many parents can recognize these benefits, that recognition does not make it easier to get kids to embrace reading. No two kids are alike, so parents might need to employ different strategies to get each of their kids to embrace reading.

But the following are a handful of ways parents can foster a love of reading in their youngsters. * Embrace their hobbies. When encouraging kids to read, parents may find it easier to get them to pick up a book if that book’s subject matter pertains to a favorite hobby or something a youngster has expressed interest in. A seven-year-old boy with a passion for baseball will likely be more inclined to read an age-appropriate novel about America’s pastime than he will a book about fishing. Use youngsters’ enthusiasm about a given hobby or interest to lay the foundation for a love of reading. * Don’t limit reading to books. Books are not the only reading materials that can foster a love of reading in kids. Local newspapers and magazines have sparked many kids’ initial foray into reading, and such source materials can be just as inspiring as novels or short stories. Magazines made for youngsters give kids something they can start and finish reading in the same day. Young boys might want to read the sports page in the daily newspaper or visit a favorite team’s website to learn all about last night’s game, while young girls might be more inclined to read the arts and entertainment sections. Parents should encourage such exploration, even if it means leaving novels on the bookshelf for the time being. * Read to youngsters. Another way to foster a love of reading in youngsters is to read to them every day. Many young kids just learning to read may be discouraged if their reading skills aren’t progressing rapidly. Reading to kids every day can inspire them to work harder at reading so they can be just as good at reading as Mom and Dad. * Discuss reading materials with your children. Many people enjoy talking about books they have read as much as they enjoy reading the books, and kids are no different. Parents who want their youngsters to embrace reading can initiate discussions about what their kids are reading, discussing the plot of novels or the details of newspaper or magazine articles kids read. Ask them what they like and dislike about a book or ask for a recap of a story they read in the newspaper or an article they read in a magazine.

adno=S0240882

* Extend the reading experience. After they have finished a novel, adults often find it enjoyable to watch films based on that novel. Doing so extends the reading experience and gives men and women a chance to see if their interpretations of a given story were similar or different from someone else’s. Kids enjoy such extensions as well, so reward kids by taking them to the movies to see the film version of a favorite book or to a museum that’s displaying an exhibit that’s relevant to a book a youngster just read.

Though their youngsters may have many distractions at their disposal, there are still many ways for parents to foster a love of reading in their children.

layground equipment is a magnet for children, and rightfully so. Kids love playing on swings, slides and climbing components of playsets on school properties and at area parks. While playgrounds are ideal settings for fun-filled days, they also carry a certain degree of risk.

Approximately 20 children in the United States die from playground-related injures every year. More than half of these deaths result from strangulation and about one-third result from falls, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But parents can reduce their youngsters’ risk of injury and the severity of injuries in various ways. * Purchase recommended, safe equipment. Parents should do their research when buying playground equipment. Consumers can check with the Consumer Product Safety Commission for any litigation involving certain manufacturers or any product recalls. It may cost a little more to install a top-of-the-line playground set, but the peace of mind and reduced risk of injury is worth the extra cost. * Invest in adequate surfacing. The CPSC says roughly 60 percent of all playground injuries result from falls the structures. Although no fall is pleasant, the severity of injury resulting from a fall can be greatly reduced depending on how safe the surface material surrounding the equipment is. Blacktop, concrete or even grass can be painful to land on. However, loose-fill materials like pea gravel, sand, shredded rubber, or mulch can soften falls. Plus, these materials are relatively low-cost and can be made from recycled items. But parents should know that loose-fill materials must be maintained to ensure a safe level of thickness. A depth of 12 inches is often recommended. * Choose an age-appropriate structure. Injuries frequently occur when children use equipment designed for older kids. Playgrounds are not one-size-fits-all. There are specific differences in the size and stature of younger children from older ones, as well as limitations in younger children’s development. Segregated playground areas, or those with groupings of equipment recommended for certain age groups, can help limit injuries. Pre-school children need smaller steps and crawl spaces, while older children can utilize overhead bars that maximize upper-arm strength. * Safely situate equipment. Consider placing a piece of playground equipment under a shady area to keep children comfortable and safe from sunburns. Hot equipment can result in burns and being out in direct sunlight can also cause UV damage to the children’s skin. Structures should be situated so there are no obstructions or obstacles to any moving parts. * Select a shorter structure. Studies show that the greater the height of a playground structure the greater the risk for injury. Choose playground equipment that is nearer to the ground to prevent serious injuries from falls and other incidents. * Inspect and maintain the equipment. Safety measures must still be taken after the playground has been erected. Equipment should be routinely inspected for damage and movable parts and joints should be examined for any signs of wear and tear. Bolts should remain tight, and any hardware that is protruding should be fixed. S-rings and other links and chains should not have gaps where children can get caught. Wood should be inspected for splintering or decay and replaced where necessary. * Supervise kids at all times. Children should always be supervised when playing on playground equipment, whether they are playing at school, at home or in a public park. Adults should discourage poor or risk-taking behavior that increases risk of injury. Adults also are urged to keep abreast of changing structure codes and guidelines so that equipment can be adjusted accordingly.

All About Kids Parents: Put the brakes on kids’ summer ‘brain drain’

P

arents and kids alike sigh with relief at the end of another successful school year. Yet years of studies show that summer “brain drain” is a very real phenomenon, and where kids are intellectually at the end of one school year isn’t always where they are when they begin a new one. Over the summer, the average student loses more than two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills.

Luckily parents have somewhere to turn with the successful implementation of children’s enrichment programs, shifting your summer breaks into learning opportunities.

“Summer is an ideal time for children to build on their math and science skills, instead of losing them, which is known as the ‘summer slide,’” says Michelle Cote, founder and creative director of Bricks 4 Kidz.

Summer camps with an emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) allow children to collaborate with their peers, teaching teamwork and organization while enhancing self-esteem and improving fine motor skills.

Parents looking for a way to combat the unfortunate educational losses have been encouraged by the growth of enrichment programs and the pool of talented instructors. Teachers who also have a summer break are flocking to these programs where they are given the freedom to be creative, teaching the way that they have always imagined.

“We all enjoy the summer when we can help our students grow in much more inventive ways, eliciting the visions of our young scientists, engineers and architects through enrichment camps,” says Gracia Merrill, a 12-year education veteran, just two months shy of her master’s in education.

Summer months are an excellent time for kids to not only fill learning gaps but also get ahead

of the curve for the upcoming year. “The models that the children build spark interest in science and math organically as they investigate ways to change gear ratios - making models go faster (or slower) - forces in motion, engineering concepts and the principles behind them,” says Cote.

“It is the ‘hands-on’ learning they miss out on during the school year while gaining STEM based knowledge simply by attending camp.”

Parents looking for a program for their children should look for one that: * Encourages curiosity, creativity and cognitive development, the ability to think and understand. * Uses the tools that children relate to, such as LEGO Bricks. * Offers engaging activities that boost self-esteem. * Fosters an appreciation for how things work from vision and experimentation to culmination.

“Children have the innate ability to embrace their visions as reality,” says Dan O’Donnell, COO of Creative Learning Corp., the franchise developer of Bricks 4 Kidz. “Our camps provide the atmosphere where gears and motors take simple bricks and turn them into the stuff dreams are made of.”

This summer, students can easily avoid brain drain when they learn while playing. They’ll have so much fun they won’t even realize that the basis of their summer enrichment program has catapulted them beyond these three months, into a new school year full of promise.

You can learn more about their programs and new summer camps by searching for a location by state or zip code.

All About Kids Is a pet right for your family?

P

Time Some pets require more attention than others, so heads of a family should consider just how much time they have to devote to pet ownership. Dogs tend to need the most attention among the more popular household pets, so families whose schedules are already full may find that pets who don’t need so much attention fit their lifestyle better. For example, cats don’t need to go for daily walks and tend to be more independent than canines, making them ideal pets for on-the-go families. When deciding if a pet is right for your family, give heavy consideration to how much time your family spends at home, and if you decide to adopt a pet, choose one that won’t be negatively affected by your schedules.

Demeanor When considering bringing a pet into a home, parents should consider both their own demeanor, their kids’

demeanors and the demeanor of the pet they are thinking of adopting. Dogs have their idiosyncrasies, but breeds tend to exhibit similar behaviors. Labrador retrievers, for example, tend to be active and energetic, while a typical English bulldog might be more laid-back and less prone to running around. Active families who enjoy spending time outdoors might prefer a more active dog, while families who enjoy relaxing at home might want a dog that’s equally comfortable lounging around the house.

When considering cats, families should speak with a professional, be it a veterinarian or a representative at the local animal shelter, about the demeanors of different breeds to ensure they make the best decision. Parents of young children likely want a cat that’s playful as opposed to one who is likely to be standoffish with curious kids.

Future The future is another thing parents must consider before bringing a pet into their home. Parents whose careers are stable might make better pet owners than those angling for a reassignment or looking to change careers. An unfortunate side effect of the recession that began in 2008 was that many families were forced to relocate when one or both parents lost their jobs but found opportunities elsewhere. Upon moving, these families realized the family pet could not make the trip, which led to shelters being flooded with homeless pets. If your family’s future is in question, delay adopting or buying a pet until your situation is more stable. If all is well in your career and your family is firmly entrenched in your community, then now might be a great time to bring a pet into your home.

Finances Money is often overlooked when deciding whether or not to bring a pet into a home.

But pets can be expensive, and the potential cost of pet ownership must be fully explored. Pet adoption fees are often negligible, but families who prefer a purebred dog can expect to spend considerably more money than they would if they were to adopt a mixed breed dog from the local shelter. In addition, a pedigreed cat is likely to cost more than a cat adopted from the shelter. But those initial fees are only a small part of the expenses associated with pet ownership. Medical costs, including routine veterinary visits and medication, pet insurance, food, and grooming costs can add up over time, so families already working on thin budgets might find it’s not financially prudent to bring a pet into their home until their finances stabilize.

Families who tend to travel a lot also must consider the cost of sheltering the animal when they are out of town, while renters should determine if bringing a pet into a home will incur a higher rental deposit or if the animal is likely to cause damage, as puppies and kittens tend to do, that will ultimately cost them money when they move out of their rental.

ets often make wonderful additions to a household. Parents not only love pets because animals bring smiles to their children’s faces, but also because pets teach kids about responsibility.

But the decision of whether or not to bring a pet into a home is a complicated one that parents would be wise to give ample consideration before making their final decision. The following are a few factors parents can consider when deciding if now is the right time to bring a pet into their household.

All About Kids Make your own family-friendly vacation

S

o many resorts are billed as the best for families, and do live up to the hype for the throngs of visitors who plan vacations each and every year.

But if your’s is a family that would be interested in avoiding the long lines and the franchised fun, you may be happy to know you are in good company. It’s possible to manufacture your own family vacation without partaking in one of the pre-assembled family plans.

According to the travel planning site Expedia(R), a few countries are more “vacation deprived” than others. These include the United States, Canada, Mexico, Singapore, Japan and South Korea. North Americans earn fewer vacation days than most countries. Even still, they’re also more likely to leave two or more days of earned vacation time unused. Affordability and saving days for future obligations is why people are apt to squander away vacation time. When vacations are taken, however, families could want to maximize time spent together and look for some key features.

When planning your next family quest, consider these vacation pointers. * Just because a hotel or resort is not billed as a family place doesn’t mean it isn’t family-friendly. Read reviews from people who have stayed at the hotel. See how they rate the hotel in terms of amenities and figure out what strengths the property has. If people remark about the romantic atmosphere, it probably caters to couples. If an array of food options and activities are touted, the hotel could be good for families. * Choose a resort that offers babysitting services or a few child-central activities.

While the goal of the family vacation is to spend time together, there are likely to be moments when each person may want to do his own thing. Parents looking for some time away will benefit from a resort that has a childcare center on the property. Plus, kids may appreciate being independent from their parents for a few hours and having fun with others their own ages. * Find a destination with a mix of ethnic and familiar cuisine. Of all the people in the family, children tend to be the most finicky when it comes to dining options. Some parents are lucky enough to have kids open to any and all food suggestions, but most have children who have a few favorites and don’t stray far from those options.

Therefore, opt for a port of call that not only enables you to sample the local cuisine, but also has a chain restaurant or familiar foods that children will be sure to eat. * Think outside the hotel box. When vacation deals pop up on your Internet search engines, it can be easy to think these plans are the only ones out there. However, with a little more research and work, families can often custom tailor a vacation that is memorable. For example, many local property owners sublet their condominiums or vacation houses to others throughout the year. Instead of booking a hotel in a resort, you may be able to rent a house or condo for a week so you will have more room to stretch out -- something that is advantageous with an entire family in tow -- and a kitchen to make a few meals “at home.” This saves on expenses and arguments over when and where to dine out. * Plan activities around your youngest traveler. While you may want to scale mountains or dive the depths of the ocean, having a young child in tow may hamper some of these intense plans. That isn’t to say you cannot try things outside of the comfort zone. While you may not be able to scuba dive, you may be able to snorkel with a toddler coasting along on an inflatable raft. Or, you may need to bring a child carrier along for a challenging hike. Cater to your “weakest link” so you are not left with high expectations and cranky kids. * Schedule some down time to just enjoy your surroundings. The vacation cannot be all about a strict itinerary. With children along for the experience, they’ll appreciate some moments to just venture and explore or engage in some imaginative play.

Don’t feel the need to over-schedule every minute of the vacation. Otherwise you may leave feeling more spent than relaxed. * Don’t cut too many corners. A couple traveling may be able to make due with the bare minimum, but the entire family traveling together will benefit from some creature comforts. It could be wise to fly to your destination rather than enduring 12 hours of the dreaded “Are we there yet?” chant. Find a hotel that will offer some of the kids’ favorite cable channels, so they can catch up on cartoons while parents are sleeping in. Opt for the two-room suite rather than the efficiency if you can afford it, so that everyone will have more elbow room. Splurge on that goofy $20 photo that shows the entire clan mouths agape while riding down the log flume. Create memories that you will want to recall for all of the good reasons instead of the poor ones.

Pizzeria da Nella imports big flavor of Naples CAROL STREAM – Suburban fans of Neapolitan pizza needn’t travel to Naples or even Chicago, because Lincoln Park’s Pizzeria da Nella Cucina Napoletana has arrived at a new location in Carol Stream.

It’s a good thing we wandered in early on a Saturday night, because the place was packed an hour later.

An iridescent-tiled woodburning oven holds court in an open kitchen at the rear of the dining room, where skilled cooks prove alchemists, combining simple ingredients atop dough.

Indulging the primeval fascination with fire, they slip pies into the controlled inferno for about 90 seconds and strike gold.

Warmly greeted by the hostess, we were led to a cozy table under a trio of expansive photos celebrating Italy: A vintage Fiat and motorbike stand alone and waiting on narrow streets, flanking a shot of mile postings with romantic destinations.

The restaurant’s window-lined space is simple and casual, with a small, attractive bar whipping up cocktails and fragrant espresso. The sugar packets are Italian, and the website notes many of the ingredients for dishes are imported from Italy.

That flavor rang true in our Melanzane appetizer, prepared with sautéed eggplant, fresh marinara, basil and olive oil.

“Fabulous tomato flavor,” my dining companion mumbled as he sopped up the sauce with a piece of the crusty bread we’d been enjoying with olive oil and Parmesan.

My companion, a devoted pizza lover, was set to order the traditional Neapolitan pie, until he spotted a trio of “bombe,” featuring a second crust for a tasty variation on stuffed.

He went with a combina-

single-crust version next time, and to walk on the milder side.

I opted for the grilled, wild sautéed eggplant in the wonderful salmon with sautéed spinach, accompanied by a rich sauce called lemon parmigiano fondue. Four homemade tion of delectable prosciutto potato chips garnished the with dollops of fresh mozzaplatter, and left me wanting rella, mushrooms, tomatoes, more of the sweet crunch.

A solid anxious to sample the classic, selection of wines and a rarer

My date had been enjoying the aroma of fresh espresso all evening, and couldn’t resist finishing the meal with a creamy cappuccino – tiny spoon, Italian sugar packet and all.

Wild one, wild win

Ray Grecoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk-off lifts DGN against Hinsdale Central

By JASON ROSSI aifjj`7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd DOWNERS GROVE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ray Grecoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixth at-bat of the game was by far the best.

The Downers Grove North senior stepped into the batterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s box with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning and singled to drive home the winning run in the Trojansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wild 18-17 win against Hinsdale Central on Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was all fired up once my teammate [Emil Baftirovski] got to third base on an overthrow,â&#x20AC;? Greco said of his final at-bat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He threw me a first-pitch curveball in the dirt and I laid off, so I knew he was going to come back with a strike and I just had to wait on it.â&#x20AC;?

Baftirovski had singled and then took third when a throw from center field intended to get him out after taking the turn at first base sailed out of the yard.

That was just one of several remarkable happenings in the game: s (INSDALE #ENTRAL S STARTing pitcher lasted just onethird of an inning. s 4HE FIRST INNING ALONE TOOK nearly an hour to play. The Red Devils plated five runs in the top half of the frame and North responded with 11 runs in its half of the inning. s !N ERROR AND THREE WILD pitches led to four of Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-inning runs. s "RENDAN 3HANAHAN MADE the last out of the sixth inning.

Thirteen of the 18 batting positions for both teams were responsible for two or more runs each.

Players and coaches from both teams were left searching for a way to describe the game, which elevated Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

record to 7-1 overall and 4-0 in the West Suburban Silver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was definitely different,â&#x20AC;? North third baseman Myles Farley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just one of those days where EVERYTHING WAS FALLING !LL THE little bloop base hits and little bleeders were finding holes and finding the grass out in the outfield. We battled all day

long, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really why we won the game.â&#x20AC;?

Brett Pyburn pitched a 1-2-3 inning in the top of the seventh inning and earned the win thanks to Grecoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This one was a game for the ages,â&#x20AC;? Central head coach Jason Ziemer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been around the game for a long time, and this game was crazy.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been part of a game like this.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just one of those things of who could survive, and fortunately for us we were able to leave the yard with a win,â&#x20AC;? North coach Chad Isaacson said.

The teams played in another high-scoring affair a day later with Central winning 16-6.

;fne\ij >ifm\ Efik_ Ale`fi s 9Xj\YXcc Why Farley was selected: Farley scored a run and drove in three to help the Trojans to a crazy 18-17 win against Hinsdale Central.

On a day where every player was in a groove in the batter’s box, Myles Farley was no exception. The junior third baseman and Downers Grove North’s No. 4 hitter had three plate appearances in the first two innings of Friday’s game against Hinsdale Central and produced a run and three RBIs as the Trojans went on win 18-17. Farley, the Sears Hardware and Appliance Athlete of the Week, spoke with Suburban Life sports editor Jason Rossi about Friday’s game and about playing third base at the varsity level.

What was it like to be part of a game like that offensively?

Hitting is definitely contagious, especially a game where 30-some runs are being scored. In my first at-bat, when I doubled, I felt I was seeing the ball a little better, and that definitely does a ton for your confidence.

How do you like playing third base?

I played third base over the summer and during my freshman year, so I’ve had a little experience with it.

The change [to playing at the varsity level] wasn’t that hard. I definitely like it. The ball is on you really fast. I love it.

You’re also a good basketball player. Which sport do you like better?

I like baseball better. I grew up with it, and it’s my dad’s favorite sport so we’ve kind of bonded with that.

What would you say is your best defensive attribute?

I would say my glove. I think my hands work together really well and I have pretty good coordination. Knock on wood, not a lot has gotten past me so far.

This Athlete of the Week is brought to you by

DOWNERS GROVE – It’s not hard for Megan LoBianco to figure out the key to the early-season success for Downers Grove South’s softball team.

“Our teamwork, and also our defense,” LoBianco said.

“We have definitely shown that we are a great defensive team. And we never give up.

We had a game against South Elgin, and it was 3-3 and we came back and scored seven runs to win. We never give up.”

The Mustangs weren’t necessarily at their best in an April 9 game against Bolingbrook, but they found a way to win and remain unbeaten on the year. South committed a pair of errors and tallied just six hits, yet did enough on both sides of the ball to earn a 3-2 win.

“I told the girls that there are going to be games during the year where you’re not going to play your best, but if you’re able to get away with it and get a win, that’s even better,” South head coach Ron Havelka said. “They know that, they understand.”

The three runs were the fewest scored by South this season.

LoBianco’s triple followed

by Kristin Lea’s infield single gave the Mustangs a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth, and they needed all three runs as the Raiders plated two runs in the top of the fifth.

South went ahead 2-0 in the second inning. Caroline Hedgcock reached on a fielder’s choice, Zahrya McFarland singled behind her and

Downers Grove South shortstop Jess Andree fires to first during an April 9 home game against Bolingbrook. The Mustang mustered a 3-2 win against the Raiders.

Rebekah Ondracek reached on a fielder’s choice to load the bases. LoBianco’s sacrifice fly scored Hedgcock, and McFarland came home on a fielding error by the catcher.

Havelka was slightly miffed that his team stranded 10 baserunners in the game, but the performance was a lot better than last spring, when South lost to Bolingbrook.

“Last year we lost to them early in the year and the pitch-

er struck us out 11 times and we had two hits against her,” Havelka said. “So we were ready [to face them] and we only struck out twice today.”

The Mustangs looked much better in a 9-1 win against Plainfield North on Friday.

McFarland went 4-for-4 with two runs and four RBIs as she hit for the cycle. LoBianco drove in three runs and hit a home run. Jess Andree also homered.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL PREVIEW

Race to state track finals is underway

By JASON ROSSI aifjj`7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd The outdoor track season is just getting underway as Saturday marked the first day of big outdoor invites for area teams. With that in mind, it’s hard to believe that girls state meets are less than six weeks away (May 22 to 24). Here’s a look at what to expect over those next six weeks for area girls track and field teams.

Stephanie Urbancik (800-meter run champion), the 4 x 400 relay (Urbancik anchoring Emma Moravec, Kaitlyn Bonfield and Zayna Jan) and the 4 x 800 relay (Rachel Schuetz, Hannah Henry and Jan in front of Urbancik) were indoor conference champs. Moravec, Grace Marek, Sophie Temple-Wood and Cassidy Santen had indoor all-conference finishes.

North competed in the Homewood-Flossmoor invite on Saturday to open the outdoor season and will host its own Ritter invite at 5 p.m.

Thursday. Meets at Lockport (April 25) and Glenbard North (May 2) precede the West Suburban Silver meet on May 8.

_li[c\j Outlook: The Mustangs hosted their own invite Saturday to start the outdoor season and finished fifth in the team standings. Shaliyah Dixon-Tucker won the 100-meter hurdles (16.28) and Michaela Hackbarth was the champ in the 800 run (2:23.74).

Distance events should be a strength with Haley Albers, Abby Kargol and Amanda Thate. None qualified for state last spring but all are coming off solid cross country seasons in the fall. Dixon-Tucker, Hackbarth and Soren Umali will help South score points in the sprint events and sprint relays.

Big meets at Wheaton North (Saturday), Lake Park (April 26) and Wheaton Warrenville South (May 2) lead up to the West Suburban Gold conference meet at South on May 8 and the postseason meets.

Outlook: The Sentinels hosted a triangular meet against Wheaton Academy and Elmwood Park on April 8 and have just one other home meet on the schedule, April 22 against Walther Christian and Luther North. After that, the Interstate Eight Conference meet (May 8 at Seneca) and the Class 1A Lisle sectional (May 16) arrive rather quickly.

Downers Grove South starts title defense

By JASON ROSSI aifjj`7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd Outdoor spring sports are at the mercy of Chicago’s fickle weather, but boys volleyball teams don’t have to worry about. Area teams started play in late March, but the season is still in the early stages. Here’s an outlook for local teams this spring.

Outlook: The 2-2 start the Trojans had to the season was an indication of some new faces in new places for the team.

Nelson Baarstad, Mike Mierzwa and Tom Sarver were key contributors to varsity last spring, but much of the rest

of the roster is being asked to play larger roles than before.

“We’re young and junior-heavy,” head coach Mark Wasik said. “We’re a pretty talented team, but our inexperience has reared its head.

“Nothing can really substitute for experience, so I believe we, like every team, will get better as the season goes on.”

Colin Michels is one player returning to varsity asked to play a bigger role this spring. Jon Poortinga is in the same category. Greg Carroll and Liam Reidy are also in the starting lineup for the Trojans.

The Schaumburg invite on Saturday and tournaments at Downers Grove South (April 25) and Richards (May 16 and 17) will help the Trojans’ growth. North’s own tourney (May 3) will also help.

“We’ll be tested in every single match; every match is the potential to grow and get better,” Wasik said.

Outlook: The defending state champions lost a handful of seniors that were instrumental to winning the title, but the Mustangs have some good building blocks in place.

Mike Schmitt and Will Tischler were big contributors on the attack last season and have picked right up in their roles on offense.

Setter Jordan Pawlicki, who was named all-tournament at Wheaton Warrenville South this season, is also back to help lead the offense.

Defensively, libero Tyler Zowaski will be a linchpin in the back row this spring.
