Hoops tourney honoring late coach benefits students

By MATTHEW PIECHALAK mpiechalak@shawmedia.com VILLA PARK – When it came to giving prudent advice, the late Dennis Doyle was second to none, said Scott Forcash, counselor at Willowbrook High School.

“He was a really amazing mentor,” Forcash said of Doyle, who died in 2011 after battling leukemia.

Doyle was a guidance counselor at Willowbrook High School. He was also the school’s head basketball coach from 1994 to 2006.

“I have never seen so many students and former athletes that would come back into his office,” Forcash said of his former colleague and mentor.

“Everyone seemed to flock to him and would come back to him for advice.”

The 2014 Dennis Doyle 3-on3 Classic District 88 Foundation Basketball Tournament will return to Willowbrook High School this weekend. The tournament, now in its fourth year, is a fundraiser held to benefit both the foundation and the Dennis Doyle Memorial Scholarship.

“Everyone seemed to flock to him and would come back to him for advice.”

Scott Forcash Willowbrook High School counselor

Each year, Doyle’s family presents two, $750 scholarships to a pair of Willowbrook seniors. The general scholarship requires that applicants write an essay on an influential person in their lives.

“Denny oversaw all the scholarships,” Forcash said.

“He was someone who was very influential here, so we have them write about someone influential in their lives.”

Along with the scholarship, funds from the basketball tournament also go to the foundation and are used to benefit students in the district.

The tournament has grown considerably during the past couple years, said Sharon Kucik, chairperson of the District 88 Foundation.

“It’s a fun competition,” Kucik said. “When we first started, we had probably around 15 teams. Last year, we had 38 teams.

If you go What: Dennis Doyle 3-on-3 Classic Basketball Tournament When: 8:30 a.m. Saturday Where: Willowbrook High School, 1250 S. Ardmore Ave., Villa Park More info: www.dupage88. net “With Dennis’ name attached to the event, a lot of his former students and players came [last year].”

Teams are comprised of four players, and the tournament is broken down by age group. The fee is $30 per team for players in high school or younger, and $50 for players ages 18 and older.

Walk-up registration is available for teams who have not yet signed up, Kucik said.

This year, referees will officiate games at the younger age groups, who sometimes have trouble calling their own fouls, Kucik said with a laugh.

District 88 teachers and staff typically form their teams well in advance of the tournament, Kucik said.

“They’re trying to figure out who should be on their team so that they can win,” Photo provided she said.

Candidate reacts after being urged to withdraw

By DAVID GOOD dgood@shawmedia.com Manju Goel showed no sign Tuesday of backing off her bid for U.S. Representative, despite a call from the Cook County Republican Party leader for her to withdraw from the race.

“I have two weeks left on my campaign and I am focusing on the issues,” Goel said Tuesday. “That is my focus and I will not be diverted from that.”

Cook County GOP Chairman Aaron Del Mar in a news release Tuesday requested that Goel, of Aurora, drop out just two weeks prior to the March 18 primary election for the 8th Congressional District, which serves Lombard and Villa Park. A “fake” website is at the core of Del Mar’s accusation that Goel is operating a “smear” campaign against her opponent, Larry Kaifesh of Carpentersville.

The website, larrykaifesh-

4congress.com, at first appears to be a campaign site for Kaifesh, but it actually serves to attack him. The site claims that Kaifesh’s campaign targeted ethnic Manju minorities when Goel it challenged the signatures in Goel’s nomination petition. It also alleges that Kaifesh’s residence in Illinois is only tempo- Larry rary.

Kaifesh “I don’t know what site they are talking about,” Goel said.

“I’ve been hearing and reading about it, but I do not have time to go looking into this frivolous site they’re talking about.”

The super PAC Indian Americans for Freedom (IAFF) is listed as the sponsor for the website. In the news re-

Know more District: The 8th Congressional District serves local towns, including Addison, Bensenville, Carol Stream, Lombard and Villa Park.

Campaign websites: The official websites are kaifesh4congress. com and manjuforcongress. com.

lease, the Cook County Republican Party claimed that the IAFF is housed in Goel’s Carol Stream campaign headquarters. That claim also is part of a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission last month.

“Absolutely not,” Goel said of sharing a campaign office with the IAFF. “I do not know the IAFF, who they are, what they are. …

I have bigger fish to fry,” Goel said.

Goel did say that Shalli Kumar, who also is named in the complaint to the FEC, is a supporter of her campaign but is not her campaign manager as Kaifesh claims.

Kumar is listed on the IAFF website as one of the PAC’s founders. Goel said she has no knowledge of his connection to the PAC and doesn’t want to know.

Fundraising and help ing with technical issues are among Kumar’s roles with the campaign, Kumar said Wednesday. The engineer confirmed he was a founder of the IAFF but said he has not been associated with the PAC since May 2013.

Goel’s official campaign website questions Kaifesh’s permanence in Illinois and offers links to documents in an effort to support those claims.

Goel’s residence in Aurora is outside of the district.

Kaifesh, a colonel in the

U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, said he was born and raised in Carpentersville, which is the 8th Congressional District.

That remained his permanent residence while he attended college before beginning a 23year career in the military, he said.

“Did I live in Illinois while I was serving in Iraq and Afghanistan? No, it’d be kind of hard to do that,” said Kaifesh, who supports Del Mar’s request for Goel to withdraw from the race.

“To attack me on my residency, it’s not only anti-military, it’s anti-American.”

The Indian American Republican Organization endorses Kaifesh, who said he had nothing to do with the challenge of Goel’s petition signatures.

“I did not challenge a single name on the petition,” Kaifesh said. “I never even saw the names. … That was a completely separate person that made that challenge.”

ELMHURST – It was “business as usual” Thursday morning at Inland Bank in Elmhurst, branch manager Lori Murray said, as the investigation continued into Wednesday’s attempted robbery.

A masked man, about 5 feet, 7 inches, entered Inland Bank, 539 S. Spring Road, demanding money and fled on foot at 8:54 a.m., according to a news release from the Elmhurst Police Department.

Chief of Police Michael Ruth said the man threatened that he had a bomb, but the device ended up being fake.

He fled to the intersection of Montrose and Saylor avenues where he got into a getaway car where a driver was waiting for him. The white or

silver SUV was last seen driving southbound on Saylor Avenue, Ruth said.

Witnesses told police that a dye pack exploded, possibly contaminating the robber as he entered the car. The robber dropped the bag of money after the pack exploded and left it behind when he took off, Ruth said.

Bank employees followed procedure, Murray said.

Police would not disclose the amount of money the robber tried to get away with, and Ruth said it was unclear whether or not it had all been recovered Wednesday.

No injuries were reported.

The bank reopened about 1 p.m. Wednesday, Murray said.

FBI agents are leading the investigation in cooperation with the Elmhurst Police Department.

DuPage County residents seeking a same-sex marriage license will have to go elsewhere in the state if they want a spring wedding, according to the DuPage County Clerk.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan wrote a letter to the Macon County Clerk’s Office on Tuesday after the clerk asked for legal guidance on the matter of same-sex marriage in the state.

On Feb. 21, a U.S. District Court judge ruled Cook County must issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples before the June 1 effective date of the state law legalizing the practice.

In the letter, Madigan said the decision to issue the licenses early was ultimately up to each county, but that

“the protections guaranteed by the Constitution must exist without regard to county lines.”

She encouraged clerks to find the court decision “persuasive” and said her office would likely support any suit against a county that denied a same-sex license.

Gov. Pat Quinn said in a news release that the Illinois Department of Public Health would accept all marriage licenses issued by any county clerk in Illinois.

“Nobody should have to wait for equal rights when it comes to love,” he said in the release. “I encourage every county clerk in Illinois to quickly follow the Attorney General’s guidance.”

DuPage County Clerk Gary King said the announcement was unlikely to affect marriage license issuance in the county before June 1.

“Every law that is passed in Illinois has an effective date of law,” he said. “Our State’s Attorney [Robert Berlin] told me, and I agree with him, that we cannot supercede the law.”

King said the announcement has no legal implications, that it could cause trouble if the law is changed before June and that remaining logistical details need to be addressed.

State’s Attorney’s Office spokesman Paul Darrah said the office’s role in defending the county in a lawsuit would be unchanged by the Attorney General’s support of early issuances.

“We don’t make the laws, we enforce the laws,” he said.

“And that’s the law that’s on the books right now. If the law changed, we would enforce that.”

LOMBARD – The Deicke Home in Lombard will remain open through July, a representative from the home confirmed Wednesday morning.

A steady stream of monetary support from the community during the past five weeks has bought the home an extra four months to establish a long-term financial plan.

The Edwin F. Deicke Home, 1005 E. Division St., a private, nonprofit residential home for adults with developmental disabilities, announced in early February that it was in jeopardy of closing March 31 if unable to secure additional funding.

The home currently houses 16 residents.

A “Save the Edwin F. Deicke Home” page was set up on GoFundMe.com, a public crowdfunding website. The site has raised more than $20,700 of its proposed $100,000 goal as of Wednesday.

“The goal would give us some breathing room to be able to come up with something for beyond that,” Bruce Thompson, director of the Diecke Home, said in early February.

Additionally, local fundraisers have contributed to the cause.

Gianorio’s Pizza & Pasta, 434 S. Main St. Lombard, held a two-day fundraiser last week, which raised about $1,000. Patrons who presented a Save the Deicke Home flier had 10 percent of their bill donated to the home.

Saturday Where: Villa Park VFW Post 2801, 39 E. St. Charles Road More info: Call the Villa Park VFW Post 2801 at 630-8345051

How to donate To contribute to the Edwin F. Deicke Home, visit www. gofundme.com/savedeickehome.

St. Pius X Parish School, 601 S. Westmore Ave., held a “Out of Uniform” Day last week, which resulted in $1,613 that the school will donate to the home.

Other local organizations also have expressed interest in donating, and a Save the Deicke Home Dance will be conducted Saturday at the Villa Park VFW Post 2801.

Since its inception in 1983, the Deicke Home has relied heavily on private donations.

Roughly 70 percent of the Deicke Home’s total operating cost comes from donations and fundraising efforts, but those sources have been depleted in recent years. Five years ago, the home began to operate using reserve funds, Thompson said.

It takes roughly $20,000 a month to break even, Thompson said.

At Bridge Communities, this is a reality we face every day. How do we explain what homelessness truly means, and what kind of impact it makes on our kids and on our community? More importantly, how do we answer the question, “Why?” Bridge saw this need, and created the “What’s It Like To COMMUNITY Be Homeless?” curriculum VOICE as a way to teach kids about Lisa homelessness. The activities Doyle we suggest are geared toward school children, and are appropriate to teach in schools, religious and youth groups, scout troops and more. There is a variety of activities the groups can perform, based on the age of the kids, including:

First to third grades • Purchase or borrow from the library either of the books, “Cooper’s Tale” or “Fly Away Home,” and use the discussion questions to explore why and how families become homeless.

• Identify an organization in your area that serves the homeless. Choose and complete a service project that helps its clients.

• Complete the activity “What Would You Take?”

Fourth to 12th grades • Using the questions, explore together as a group the reasons why families become homeless and why homelessness is harmful to children.

• Complete the activity “Calculate It!” • Visit a homeless shelter or the offices of an agency that serves the homeless to learn more about this issue. Students can research and develop their own project that serves the homeless.

In addition to benefiting from taking part in these experiences, kids can earn scout patches as well. After completing the activities from “What’s It Like To Be Homeless?” troop leaders can order Bridge’s “A Heart for the Homeless” scout patches for $2 apiece from www.bridgecommunities.org.

We hope these activities can answer some of the tough questions your kids may have about poverty and homelessness, and help them keep the homeless in their hearts.

8ENDORSEMENT

Republican governor primary: Bruce Rauner Illinois has big problems.

Years of fiscal mismanagement and incompetent leadership have compromised the state’s economic future.

Illinois’ five public pension systems are underfunded by more than $100 billion.

The state ended 2013 with more than $7 billion in unpaid bills.

Illinois’ credit rating has been downgraded five times since 2011, meaning taxpayers must pay much more in interest when the state borrows money.

Moody’s Analytics predicted that Illinois will be dead last among all 50 U.S. states in job growth in 2014.

It’s clear that those running state government have failed and change is long past due.

On March 18, Republican primary voters have an opportunity to select the candidate they want to run against Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn in the November general election.

State Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard are making a second run for the office. (Brady won the GOP nomination four years ago before losing a close election to Quinn.) Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford also is running, though his campaign has been rocked by sexual harassment charges leveled by a former staffer. Rounding out the field is businessman Bruce Rauner, whom we endorse.

Rauner is not a career politician. In fact, this is his first run for public office.

He supports term limits and, if he is elected, pledges to serve only two terms.

He’s independently wealthy and will not be beholden to the special interest David Good, news editor dgood@shawmedia.com 630-427-6270

groups who have helped to corrupt Springfield. He will not be afraid to stand up to the powerful public employee unions who have resisted change. His wealth was not given to him. He earned it during a lifelong career as an investor and businessman.

Rauner is blunt when assessing the state’s many problems. Workers’ compensation is crushing businesses and an impediment to job growth. Despite a recent reform measure, public pensions are overly generous and unsustainable in the long term. The state’s tax system is unduly burdensome to both taxpayers and businesses and needs to be reformed.

Rauner knows big changes need to be made to get the state back on the right path.

Despite the many challenges, and the fact that whoever wins the governor’s seat more than likely will have to work with Speaker Michael Madigan, Senate President John Cullerton and a Democrat-controlled General Assembly, Rauner is confident he can get the job done.

He has a genuine love for Illinois and a desire to improve the quality of life here.

Rauner also knows his limitations.

He admits that he himself doesn’t have all the answers, but he promises to surround himself with the best and brightest and work as hard as necessary to succeed, just as he has in his professional life.

Rauner has the energy, the charisma and the financial backing to stand up to Quinn in the fall and win.

In the Republican primary for governor, we endorse Rauner.

Reader: Potholes a problem in Downers It is apparent Downers Grove is competing with Chicago when it comes to potholes. I have blown a tire and have had to have a realignment as a result of the condition of the streets in Downers Grove. One has to zigzag all over the road to miss the huge number of potholes. There is no reason why Downers cannot fill these holes. The county has taken care of filling the holes on county streets in Downers. What is the excuse that Downers has? When do they plan on filling in the holes, when summer gets here?

By using the roadway when it is dark outside, you are risking serious injury or death by wearing dark clothing. It is often difficult for drivers to see you when you blend in with the surroundings. Use a little precaution – either wear highly visible light clothing or wear a reflective vest (a variety of good reflective gear is available online for less than $10). Using a little common sense when sharing the roadway with cars might help prevent a tragic accident.

During a heart attack, a delay in care means damage to your heart. Which is why Elmhurst Memorial Hospital is proud to provide some of the fastest arrival to treatment times in the country. Last year alone, our average door to treatment time was just 60 minutes. With a national average of over an hour and a half, that’s a difference that saves heart muscle and lives.

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – Tim Soszko began his career in the limelight performing in school and community productions in Elmhurst.

This week, he’s taking his comedic wit to Toronto.

“I remember watching Steve Martin doing one of his standup specials and laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe,” Sosz- Tim ko said of one of Soszko his first comedic role models as a kid.

The York High School alumnus, right now, is performing at the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival, which began Thursday, for the first time.

Aside from Steve Martin, Soszko said he also is a big fan of Mr. Bean, or Rowan Atkinson.

When it comes to his own sense of humor, Soszko said he likes to work off the beaten path but admits, “everything’s already been done.”

He often watches some of his favorite comedians and will notice a sketch he’s recently written follows roughly the same joke or situation.

Still, he likes to put a new twist in his versions.

He’ll be performing with two troupes at the festival, and he said they’re both “more timeless than the next new joke about the president.”

The Cupid Players do musical sketch comedy dealing with relationships, and Bri-

Ko is a trio of silent characters who solve simple problems in the most complicated ways.

“What drew me to both of them were the relationships that happen,” Soszko said of why he enjoys working with both groups with different comedic approaches.

He also does voice-over work in addition to writing and performing with another sketch group, The Tim and Micah Project.

Since earning his bachelor’s degree in acting from Illinois State University, Soszko has gone on to direct improvisation and sketch comedy groups in addition to teaching theatre classes at Second City, Barrel Of Monkeys, IO Chicago, Emerald City Theatre Co., After School Matters, Columbia College and one of the first groups he ever performed with, Elmhurst Children’s Theatre.

teaching sketch comedy at the local theater, which was a new alternative to its usual musicals and plays. He enjoyed working with the kids who might not fit in so well with those types of productions, but were talented writers or comedians.

“It was a really great opportunity for the kids who maybe weren’t great singers … to get a chance to shine,” said Soszko, who is about to start his seventh year of auditions for Unintentionally Hilarious at the Elmhurst Children’s Theatre.

In retrospect, Soszko is thankful for the unique theatre opportunities he found growing up in Elmhurst that he’s come to realize aren’t available everywhere. He also understands what it’s like to be a middle school boy in the choir or school play.

“When you’re that age and a guy, that’s not always seen as the coolest thing to do,” Soszko said.

Completely over his adolescent self-consciousness, Soszko thinks it’s important to encourage talented kids to pursue theatre.

“Everything that they do is amazing and great and they should just keep doing it,” Soszko said.

When former students approach him about pursuing comedy as a career, he admits that’s a different conversation about the business side of the industry. Still, he doesn’t think that’s a reason to keep kids from learning and performing comedy.

“You shouldn’t let anyone stop you from doing what you want to do,” Soszko said.

City is ready for 18th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – For the 18th year, Elmhurst will hold its annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday down Spring Road.

“We did it before anyone else thought of it,” Parade Committee Chairman Jim O’Connor said.

An Elmhurst native, O’Connor remembers the first parade had no budget at all. This year, the committee raised $40,000 to cover all costs from entertainment to clean up for the event expected to attract 2,500 people.

The parade itself kicks off at noon Saturday at Wilson and Spring roads and continues north on Spring Road to The Silverado Grill. More than 130 entrants, including dancers, politicians, bands and floats, will march by spectators for about an hour and a half.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive early. Beginning at 11 a.m., bands and entertainment will open the festivities along Spring Road at Ahlgrim Funeral Home, Vallette Street, The Illinois Prairie Path and McKinley Avenue.

O’Connor said he sees his role as chairman as his way of serving the community, which he thinks everyone should do.

Even though planning for the next parade begins a week after this year’s parade, O’Connor doesn’t mind the time commitment.

“I run the happiest day in town,” he said.

Restaurant reviews

Omega prepares your favorites to the letter DOWNERS GROVE – Everyone knows the best dinner food is breakfast food; there’s just something about eggs Benedict or juicy blueberry pancakes that hits the spot, especially late night.

So when my fellow diner and I originally scanned Omega Restaurant’s menu, we thought we’d head straight for the breakfast section – that is, until we saw its fully stocked dinner menu. With gourmet burgers, more than a dozen different sandwiches, steak, seafood and other dishes to choose from, we spent about 20 minutes just deciding on what to order.

We kicked off the dining experience with Omega’s Famous Greek Saganaki – a fried cheese dish and, in my opinion, the best decision of the night. The appetizer was brought to the table in a personal-sized skillet and then lit on fire in front of us. Giant flames spread across the saganaki, providing not only mouthwatering flavor, but a surprising show, as well.

Although the menu had us pulled in many directions, it was the traditional breakfast section that claimed both our palates. My choice was the Denver Omelette – with cheese, ham, green pepper, onion and added mushroom – while my companion went with the Omega Skillet – a pan stacked with hashbrowns, onions, choice of sausage or bacon, melted cheese and two eggs any style.

While I was completely satisfied with my football-sized omelette – to the point where some leftovers found a place in my fridge – there are a couple items on the menu I’m already planning on tasting next time.

Omega’s Saganaki Omelette sounds like a cheesy and deliciously appealing way to combine our previous appetizer and meals. But my biggest goal for the next visit is to save room for dessert so I (and a few friends) can tackle Omega’s Famous Tummy Buster Ice Cream Sundae – a

ALL-AREA MVP

The key to success

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com VILLA PARK – As a standout track athlete, Molly Krawczykowski used her speed to her advantage at every opportunity on the basketball court.

The Willowbrook senior guard was the mainstay star for the Warriors this season.

After leading the team in scoring and filling whatever the role the team needed, Krawczykowski is the MVP of the girls basketball all-area team.

She helped the team win its first West Suburban Gold title since 1996.

“Conference was one of our biggest goals, so it was a really big deal when we went undefeated,” Krawczykowski said.

Plenty of standout track athletes play other sports and use their athleticism to their advantage, and Krawczykowski was no exception. She grew three inches from her junior to senior year and used her length to her benefit.

“Her first step is really quick and really long,” Willowbrook coach Terry Harrell said. “I really think she had as good of a first step or better than any other female player in the past couple years in this area.”

She used her speed and good instincts on the court to often rack up quick points on transition layups. Krawczykowski was also able to create her own fast break opportunities as a quality defender.

This year Krawczykowski moved from point guard to shooting guard because the makeup of the roster changed.

She became the team’s leading scorer, but even after she hyperextended her knee in the Warriors’ first playoff game she did other things to make up for her inability to drive to

the basket like normal in the regional final.

“She still gave us 12 points, but then she also gave us 10 rebounds,” Harrell said. “She stepped up as a rebounder.

She gave us different things.

There’s always something she could give you that would help make the team successful.”

In a year where the Warriors had as many as four contributing players out with injury at the same time, Krawczykowski was a staple. She never missed a game.

“She was somebody as a coach that you wanted there,” Harrell said. “She started her sophomore year. She was very key at that point, but mostly as a defender. She developed as a scorer her junior year.”

Harrell thought Krawczykowski would wind up as a college basketball player. Instead, Krawczykowski will be heading to Illinois State to compete for the track team. Her specialty is the 800-meter run, an event in which she is already a two-time state qualifier.

When picking schools, Krawczykowski didn’t prioritize athletics for her decision.

She had a lot of interest from Division III basketball programs and some Division II schools had reached out about her, but ultimately she picked Illinois State track because of academics.

“I really like ISU as a school Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com and they have a great special education program, which is Willowbrook’s Molly Krawczykowski dribbles the ball in a Feb. 4 game against Downers Grove South.

Here are Suburban Life Media’s 2014 girls basketball selections time to celebrate the accomplishments of some of the top players from locals schools with the 2013-14 girls basketball all-area team.

Jessica Bianchi

Olivia Domin

Kaitlyn Gehrke

Kelly Karlis

School: York Year: Junior Impact: The Dukes’ point guard was the catalyst for much of the team’s success. She led the team in scoring (8.1 points per game), assists (2.9) and steals (2.0). Bianchi’s quickness made her a tough defender and got things started for York’s offense.

School: Willowbrook Year: Senior Impact: Domin took over as the Warriors’ point guard this season and helped the team win the West Suburban Gold title.

The senior led the team with about 3.5 assists per game and also averaged 8.7 points per game.

School: Timothy Christian Year: Junior Impact: Gehrke emerged as a solid player for the Trojans on a team that had five new starters and a first-year coach. The 6-foot-1 center was an all-conference selection in the Metro Suburban Conference.

School: Montini Year: Senior Impact: The Ohio recruit is a tough matchup for opposing teams because she is a 6-foot-2 guard with shooting range and ballhandling skills. Entering this weekend’s state tournament, Karlis was averaging 9.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.

Molly Krawczykowski

Rainey Kuykendall

School: Willowbrook Year: Senior Impact: The Warriors needed someone to take over the scoring load after graduating a lot of talent from last year’s team, and the all-area MVP answered the call.

Krawczykowski averaged a team-best 14.4 points per game and displayed an all-around game with about four rebounds, three assists and three steals per game.

School: Montini Year: Junior Impact: Kuykendall was a key bench contributor last year, but the junior forward emerged as a solid, strong player who is a staple in the Montini starting lineup. She is averaging 7.6 points and 4.4 rebounds per game for the Broncos heading into the state finals.

Honorable mention

Rory Manion

Sara Ross

Molly Schlecht

Kateri Stone

Grace Vitek

School: IC Catholic Year: Senior Impact: Manion was the rock for IC in the middle.

She averaged more than nine points and nine rebounds per game and was a tough player that helped lead the Knights to their first trip to state. The senior forward earned her second state medal after helping the volleyball team win state in the fall.

School: Montini Year: Senior Impact: Ross is listed as a forward on the Montini roster, but managed to lead the team in assists.

The IUPUI-bound senior is a strong player on the fast break and a good passer.

She averages 3.4 assists per game while adding 7.9 points and 5.1 rebounds per contest.

School: York Year: Senior Impact: The 6-foot-2 Schlecht was a force inside for York. She was tough for opponents to handle inside and used her size to lead the team in rebounds (5.8 per game). Schlecht, who was also a standout in volleyball, averaged 7.6 points per game.

School: Montini Year: Senior Impact: Stone enters state this weekend as Montini’s only double digit scorer.

The Colgate-bound guard is averaging 11.8 points per game after having made 93 3-pointers to this point of the season. The 6-foot-1 guard also leads the Broncos in rebounding (5.1 per game).

School: IC Catholic Year: Senior Impact: Vitek led the Knights in scoring at 10 points per game, but she did a little bit of everything well as a 5-foot-11 guard.

She led the team with just over three assists per game and was second on IC with just shy of five rebounds per game.

One goal in mind

Montini girls aim to finish playoff run with state title

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – Ever since last year’s loss in the state semifinal, Kateri Stone and the rest of Montini’s girls basketball team have had one thought on their minds.

The Broncos have wanted to get back to state and win.

They took care of the first part of that equation this week.

Montini is heading back to state after defeating De La Salle 59-27 at the Hinsdale Central supersectional on Monday. Despite the success, the memory of the shock of the defeat to Vernon Hills in last year’s state semifinal hasn’t faded away.

“Every single day, every practice, it’s on our minds,” Stone said. “It’s freshly imprinted.”

The senior guard scored 17 points in the 54-31 win against Marshall in the Glenbard South sectional final Feb. 27.

Rainey Kuykendall and Lea Kerstein each scored 13 points in the supersectional victory.

This is Montini’s fifth straight state appearance and sixth in seven years.

They’ve also won 10 straight sectional titles.

Coach Jason Nichols said the team’s goal throughout the season and into the playoffs has been simply to get back to state.

“If you don’t get downstate you can’t compete in the state finals, so we need to stay focused,” Nichols said.

In the state semifinals, Montini will face Burlington Central. The 27-4 Rockets have won 12 games in a row.

Three of the Rockets’ top four scorers are sophomores: Sam Pryor, Shelby Holt and Kayla Ross.

Montini (32-2) has more experienced talent leading the way with Division I-bound seniors Stone, Sara Ross and Kelly Karlis. The Broncos enter state with an eightgame winning streak. Their last loss came Jan. 31 against Young, a state finalist in Class 4A. Despite a dominant post-

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

IC Catholic Senior | Basketball Why Brinkman was selected: Brinkman scored 24 points in an overtime victory against Winnebago in a Class 2A sectional semifinal Tuesday.

IC Catholic senior guard Clark Brinkman led the Knights to a big playoff victory Tuesday. Brinkman scored a team-high 24 points and IC survived the game after a twohour trip to Bureau Valley.

The Knights head back there tonight for the sectional final.

Brinkman, the Oak Trust Credit Union Athlete of the Week, talked with Suburban Life sports reporter Dan Santaromita about the team’s playoff run.

What’s the mood like with the team ahead of the sectional final?

Fourth-place Knights enjoy state trip

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com NORMAL – The state finals didn’t go as planned for IC Catholic’s girls basketball team, but the Knights still had a memorable season in taking fourth place in Class 2A. IC lost two games at Normal’s Redbird Arena, settling for a fourth place trophy, but the Knights still went back to Elmhurst with a state trophy.

“We were very thrilled and

very fortunate to have been provided the opportunity to spend some time together [last] weekend,” coach Aubree Lawrence-Schuett said.

Prophetstown beat IC 57-48 in a semifinal Friday. Grace Vitek scored 24 points and eight rebounds, and Rory Manion added 10 points and seven rebounds in the loss.In Saturday’s third place game, IC lost a close one 32-28 to Teutopolis. The Knights led 16-12 at halftime, but ultimately fell

short despite 14 points from Abby Radoha.

The three aforementioned Knights were the three seniors on the team and leave a lot behind for the program beyond the fact that they were the team’s top three scorers.

“It was hands down the best four years of my coaching career,” Lawrence-Schuett said.

“They’ve left big shoes to fill, but there are incoming freshmen and underclassmen that are waiting in the wings.”

New IHSA rule will effect several area schools

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com The Illinois High School Association recently announced adjustments to its multiplier rule for private schools that should impact the class that some area programs compete in for the state playoffs.

The new rule, called the Success Advancement Component by the IHSA, will move teams up a class if they win at least two state trophies during a four-year period. The new rule will take effect starting with the 2014-15 school year.

This won’t have any impact on teams that are already competing in the highest class or sports that have just one class such as tennis, water polo, swimming and boys volleyball.

Football, which has the most classes of any IHSA sport with eight, will have a slightly different take on the rule: • Starting with the 2015 season, schools would be moved up two classes if they made three state finals during a four-year period.

• Starting in 2016, schools would be moved up three classes if they make four state finals in a row.

Schools that move up more than one class will move down one class per year until they reach their appropriate classification for their enrollment should they stop meeting the advancement criteria listed above.

ruits and vegetables are a good source of vitamins, minerals and iber that will keep you healthy and help you grow to be tall and strong. Vegetables come from the earth, grown on farms across this country and beyond. But don’t leave it to the farming professionals — this spring, start planting your own garden.

Location: Find a place with plenty of sun. Look for good soil that is away from trees and bushes that have big roots or branches that might interfere with your growing plants. You also will need to think about water — is your garden near a hose, or do you have another way to water your plants? If you don’t have access to land, plant your seeds in pots on a sunny porch or balcony. plan: Plants need space, so make sure not to overcrowd. Keep-

ing your seeds in rows helps you stay organized and can give your plants room to grow. Draw out a plan to maximize space.

WORD FIND Find these veggie words: Beans Broccoli Carrots Corn Lettuce

Peas Peppers Spinach Squash Zucchini

follow instructions: Read the directions on each pack of seeds, and follow them closely. If the directions say to plant each seed 2 feet apart, make sure to do that. Even though they might start out as little seeds, some plants can grow quite large, especially if you are doing a good job with them. maintain: Common gardening tools include a hose, watering

can, spade, rake and hoe. You will need a way to dig into the earth to plant your seeds, and also need tools to maintain your garden. Some of these can be helpful in removing weeds that will sprout up and crowd your plants. And don’t forget to water!

If your plants are looking and feeling dry, make sure to give them a healthy shower.

HEALTH WATCH

If you’ve been diagnosed with high LDL or “bad” cholesterol, know that you are not alone.

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance, and some cholesterol is needed for your body to function normally.

However, having too much “bad” cholesterol and not enough “good” cholesterol can cause plaque to build up on the walls of your arteries, putting you at elevated risk for heart disease and stroke.

Since high “bad” cholesterol doesn’t cause many symptoms, a great deal of people may not realize their levels are too high, underscoring the importance of getting cholesterol levels checked. Doctors recommend adults have their cholesterol levels screened every five years (sooner if you already have been diagnosed with high cholesterol). A blood test can determine your cholesterol levels.

Controlling your weight, staying physically active and making healthful food choices can help lower “bad” cholesterol. For many people, however, heredity plays a role and even with lifestyle changes, their “bad” cholesterol may continue to be too high. In those cases, a doctor may prescribe medication to help reduce the “bad” cholesterol.

Need help navigating the insurance maze?

Consult with your local librarian By elana gordon wHYY

What can’t librarians do?

Many are now becoming health insurance guides.

The buzz at the American Library Association’s winter meeting recently wasn’t just about the annual awards (a.k.a. the book award “super bowl”); the Affordable Care Act also was on the agenda. Libraries across the country have been trying to meet a growing demand for health insurance information.

At the Free Library of Philadelphia’s central branch, library coordinator Nani Manion has started running twiceweekly enrollment clinics in the technology lab. Manion is one of 33 librarians in the Philly system who have undergone a five-hour training session to become certified application counselors.

At least through March, 12 library locations in Philadelphia are taking individual sign-up appointments or hosting these walk-in sessions. The library cites data estimating that 210,000 Philadelphia residents lack health insurance.

“It started off slow,” says Manion, but the pace has picked up; one recent day, six people showed up for help.

That might not seem like a lot, but the process for some individuals took nearly two hours.

“I could have used more assistance,” she says.

The added service means trade-offs. While Manion conducts sessions, another computer class is on hold.

Last summer, the Free Library’s director, Siobhan Reardon, issued a system-wide request for librarians who were interested the training.

“Our role here in library land has been changing rapid fire,” says Reardon. “The trail into getting insurance is not a neatly designed trail, and so there’s nothing better than a librarian to help navigate.”

Key sources Libraries have always been more than book lenders, providing services that include early childhood education, employment assistance and computer literacy skills. The economic downturn heightened the need for those services, and health information has long been in demand.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services estimates 28 million people sought health information from libraries in one year.

Last summer, IMLS issued a $286,104 grant to craft webinars geared toward librarians.

More than 1,000 have participated since that launched, says Mamie Bittner, director of government affairs for IMLS. “There are pressures on libraries ... but meeting the high priority information needs of their community, that is their job,” she says.

‘We saw an influx’ Bittner says libraries all over “are assuming a variety of roles” as it relates to the Affordable Care Act. In Delaware, state librarian Annie Norman says they’ve been thirsty for useful, accurate information so they can best assist patrons.

“We saw such an influx of people needing job assistance, that when this big health care initiative was coming in, we thought ‘They’re going to be coming in — 35,000 people could be on our doorstep with questions,’ so we wanted to be prepared to help them,” Norman says.

The system first turned to the state, which is running the health care marketplace in partnership with the federal government. Libraries in Delaware have since hosted more than three dozen public events.

Navigators, or federally certified application assistors, have used library space to meet with people and help them enroll.

Norman says they haven’t seen the influx of people they had initially expected, but they’re also tracking the questions — 300 so far — people have, so they can better respond to insurance questions in the future.

“We’re laying the foundation for years to come,” says Cathay Keough, coordinator of reference services for Delaware’s Division of Libraries.
