Bensenville, District 2, KaBOOM! build park in one day

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE BENSENVILLE INDEPENDENT

Early in the morning of Friday, Sept. 9, more than 200 volunteers gathered at the former site of Mohawk School in Bensenville, to transform an empty site into a new neighborhood park. Located at 917 W. Hillside Ave., the playground is hoped to be a lovely addition to the Hillside neighborhood -- a

neighborhood that has experienced some of the greatest impact from the noise and from the ongoing expansion of O’Hare International Airport.

The park was made possible due to a grant from KaBOOM!, a Washington D.C.-based non-profit organization that raises funds to build playgrounds around the country.

Bensenville School District 2 was

selected as a grant recipient. The Village of Bensenville, along with the Bensenville Park District, contributed additional funds to make the project a reality. Target® is a corporate sponsor for the Hillside park project.

Throughout the O’Hare expansion process, Bensenville has made significant community investments, including the construction of two

new grammar schools. But the closing of Mohawk School in 2011 and its later demolition left the Hillside neighborhood – bound by Irving Park Road and Route 83 – without a nearby playground for children in the area.

Village President Frank Soto praised Bensenville School District 2 for seeking the KaBOOM! grant.

“But we know it is a neighborhood filled with parents dedicated to our community and their children and a neighborhood that deserves something special.”

DuPage Election Commission seeks election judges

The DuPage Election Commission is recruiting judges to work the General Election on Nov. 8. Election judges are responsible for the conduct of the election at precinct polling places on Election Day. Qualified individuals are required to report to the polling place by 5:15 a.m. and should be prepared to remain at the polling place up until two hours after the polls close at 7 p.m. They should also be available the night before for set up.

Illinois statute outlines a list of qualifications for those wishing to serve as election judges. Applicants must: • Be a citizen of the United States; • Be a registered voter in DuPage County; • Be of good repute and character; • Be able to speak, read and write the English language; • Be skilled in the four fundamental rules of arithmetic (addition, subtraction, division and multiplication); • Not be a candidate for any office at the election; and • Not be an elected committeeman.

Illinois statutes also require bipartisan representation in the polling place so a judge must declare the political party he or she wishes to represent. Attendance at a training seminar is required prior to Election Day (approximately three hours including a test) and judges are paid based on the level of training received.

For additional information, visit the Election Commission’s website at dupageco.org/election.

Viewpoint Slices of life We had an urgent issue in the bathroom – as bathroom issues can sometimes be.

An annoying drip from the tub’s faucet had grown into an exasperating trickle that could no longer be ignored. This occurred on a Sunday (of course it did) when any plumber worth his plunger had the day off.

Hence we were left to our own resources.

I took this as a challenge. I like challenges. My husband is okay with challenges, but he prefers spending Sunday afternoons on the couch watching whatever sporting event is on TV. This weekend it was golf. And despite the phenomenal edge-of-your-seat sporting frenzy that TV golf provides, the bathroom was calling.

At least I heard it calling. I fully understood what this Niagara Falls of a leak might do to our water bill.

So I set out to educate myself on bathroom faucets.

After viewing a few online tuto-

rials (which can make anyone an expert), I prepared to take action.

I turned off the house’s water supply and grabbed a variety of tools, most of which were featured in the tutorials.

My husband remained on the couch. He hadn’t yet caught my passion for plumbing, which didn’t matter because I was feeling plumber-strong and ready to take a crack at the job. I grabbed a hammer and headed for the biffy.

I took to pounding on parts that needed loosening. My husband, hearing the ruckus and undoubtedly

fearing the damage I could do with a hammer, soon joined me and we proceeded to dismantle the faucet.

According to the tutorials, we were in search of old O-rings, which are rubberish gaskets that create a tight seal and prevent leaks. After much prodding and pushing of various parts we found ourselves some O-rings. One was in clear need of replacement and we headed to the hardware store, full of hope.

The new O-ring cost 29 cents (31 with tax). We made the purchase and felt giddy at the overall ease of our project.

We returned home and replaced the O-ring. Our collective confidence filled the tiny bathroom. My husband went to turn on the water and soon thereafter it became crystal clear: our work was far from complete. The trickle of a leak had become a full-fledged stream.

We may be plumbingly-challenged, but we aren’t quitters, so we shut the water off, re-dismantled the

faucet and saw that our brand new O-ring was no longer brand new. It was mangled. We removed it from the faucet doo-hickey and returned to the hardware store to spend another 31 cents. We figured the first O-ring was faulty – an anomaly.

The second O-ring gave us a renewed sense of confidence. Temporary confidence; because it too showed up mangled. The water flow in the bathroom continued. We returned to the hardware store – again.

And again. On the final trip we bought 62 cents worth of O-rings, to trigger good mojo and to save on gas for future trips.

Of course in the midst of all this each one of the kids had an immediate and paramount need to take a shower. At 2:00 in the afternoon.

• France

Because that is a common time to shower, apparently.

We managed to accommodate them – between trips to the hardware store, where we spent a grand total of $1.55. And, even though I increased my proficiency with a pipe wrench, the faucet won in the end. It’s still broken and we’re in search of a plumber. A real professional – not just some guy on YouTube, or worse yet an amateur like me who’s watched a couple of his videos.

The only evidence of any turmoil at that time was one instance of armed guards at the airport and the sniffing dogs. I’m okay with that.

When things are a bit shaky, the security steps up a notch.

My hubby and I are not foolish and do not go looking for trouble. It is my wish in these last days before we depart that any one who speaks of our trip does so with a smile and a glimmer of “Oh, I wish I was off to France too!”

There will always be Chicken Littles and those who think the sky is falling. I see the sky as blue and beautiful. I plan to drink wine, eat fine food, and stroll the Cours Mirabeau with my beau. I wish myself a bon voyage and I will tell you all about it when I return. Au revoir!

Week 4 Preview Addison Trail (1-2, 0-1) at Downers Grove South (1-2, 1-0)

When: Friday, 7:30 p.m.

Where: Downers Grove South High School Last week: Willowbrook 38, Addison Trail 7; Downers South 37, Hinsdale South 24 Last year: Downers South 37, Addison Trail 21 Outlook: After an opening-week win over Glenbard South, Addison Trail has dropped two straight to Oak Park-River Forest and district neighbor Willowbrook. The Blazers will look to get back on track against a Downers Grove South team that is fresh off defeating defending conference champion Hinsdale South. The Mustangs opened the season with a 56-6 loss to Homewood-Flossmoor and a 27-6 loss to Hinsdale Central.

Those two opponents currently stand at a combined 6-0.

Week 4 Preview Hinsdale South (0-3, 0-1) at Willowbrook (2-1, 1-0)

When: Friday, 7:30 p.m.

Where: Willowbrook High School, Villa Park Last week: Willowbrook 38, Addison Trail 7; Downers South 37, Hinsdale South 24 Last year: Willowbrook 27, Hinsdale South 13 Outlook: Willowbrook made it two in a row last week with a 38-7 win over district neighbor Addison Trail. The Warriors will look to move to 2-0 in conference against the defending conference champions in Hinsdale South. Don’t let the 0-3 Hinsdale South record fool you. The Hornets lost 20-16 to a strong Prospect program and only lost 14-6 to defending state champion Glenbard West. Hinsdale South opened conference play with a 37-24 loss to Downers Grove South. Last year, Willowbrook defeated Hinsdale South in conference play, but Hinsdale won the conference with one less loss than the Warriors.

On Sept. 2, the Addison Trail Football Team welcomed back former players, coaches and their family members.

ATHS hosts 50th anniversary alumni events for boys soccer, football

Throughout the 2016-17 school year, Addison Trail will celebrate its 50th anniversary with events and activities to welcome back alumni and to continue to engage stakeholders.

The most recent 50th anniversary

events were a Boys Soccer Alumni Celebration on Aug. 25 and a Football Alumni Celebration on Sept. 2.

During those home games, alumni were announced to the crowd and had an opportunity to reconnect with

fellow graduates and Addison Trail students, parents/guardians, community members and staff. About 14 alumni attended the Boys Soccer game, and about 16 alumni attended the Football game. All coaches of

the varsity and junior varsity Boys Soccer teams are Addison Trail graduates, and three of those coaches are former players on the team.

The Blazers took on Fenton High School in soccer and won 3-0. In

football, the Blazers competed against Oak Park and River Forest High School, with a score of 14-35.

Second graders learn to manipulate – math that is!

The second graders in Mrs. Bognetti’s classroom at Wesley School practicing math using manipulatives. The students combined parts (for example, 3 blue cubes and 5 purple cubes) to create a whole (8 total cubes). The exercise included students writing math sentences (3+5=8, 8-3=5, 8-5=3, 5+3=8 ) as they practiced combining and separating the cubes.

Willowbrook football team defeats Addison Trail

Warriors rack up close to 300 yards rushing; Strong line play cited in win

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

They say football games are won and lost in the trenches.

And Willowbrook coach Nick Hildreth is a big subscriber to that theory. Hildreth pointed to his team’s strong play on both sides of the line in a 38-7 victory over District 88 neighbor Addison Trail in a Week 3 West Suburban Conference Gold Division game in Addison.

The win pushed Willowbrook to 2-1 overall and 1-0 in WSC Gold action. Addison Trail dropped to 1-2 and 0-1.

The Warriors’ victory snapped a two-game winning streak in the District 88 series for Addison Trail.

Willowbrook has now won three of the last five meetings. Addison Trail leads the series 11-6 since 2000.

“We played very well up front on both sides of the ball,” said Hildreth.

The coach also was complimentary of his squad’s defensive efforts.

Willowbrook has allowed seven points combined in the last two games. Jon Kelso had two interceptions and a forced fumble on defense for the Warriors, now 7-5 over their last 12 games.

“We did a pretty good job on defense,” said Hildreth. “They have a nice junior running back in Nick D’Ambrose. We did not let him pop off and get any big plays.”

Jack Jessen, Chris Diaz, Kelso, Khalif Copeland and MJ Ranieri each scored a touchdown.

“We had some good balance,” said Hildreth.

CHRIS FOX PHOTOS The Independent

Addison Trail junior Nick D’Ambrose tries to avoid the grasp of Willowbrook sophomore Nick Sabatino during the Friday, Sept. 9 District 88 rivalry game held in Addison.

Ranieri threw touchdown passes to Kelso and Copeland and also ran one in himself.

“It’s been up front for us,” said Hildreth. “We’ve been able to establish the run game a little bit. We only threw it nine times against Addison

Trail and 16 times the week before.

We are minimizing the third-andlong situations. We’ve been more efficient across the board.”

Willowbrook led 10-0 after the first quarter and then scored 21 points in the second quarter to take a

AT Blazers senior Darriion Conrad carries the ball against a tough Warriors defense. Willowbrook won the game 38-7.

31-7 lead into halftime.

Hildreth said the team isn’t getting too caught up with having momentum with a two-game winning streak. “We don’t really look at momentum,” he said. “We roll from one week to the next. We know Addison

Trail is a well-coached and tough team. It was a very good win but it’s as important as all the other wins. We are getting there. We’re still a little inconsistent in spots and we know we need to improve in those areas.”

Next up for Willowbrook is a WSC Gold matchup with defending division champion Hinsdale South.

“We have a 12-hour rule,” said Hildreth. “We looked over the tape against Addison Trail and now we’re focused on Hinsdale South. They are the defending conference champions and have a lot of players back and they’ve played a tough schedule.

That’s where our focus is.”

For Addison Trail, quarterback Bobby Daniels was 9 for 16 for 149 yards and one touchdown.

D’Ambrose ran 17 times for 55 yards and had a long run of 21 yards. Addison Trail was held to 32 total net rushing yards in the game.

Darrion Conrad caught four passes for 96 yards, while Stevan Jones had two catches for 41 yards and a touchdown.

On defense, Nick DiBernardo had 10 tackles and two tackles for loss.

Andrew Felix had 10 tackles and two tackles for loss as well. Jack Domek had eight tackles and one tackle for loss. Juan Bracamontes had one tackle for loss and one quarterback sack. Alex Villareal had one tackle for loss.

On special teams, Stevan Jones had two kickoffs go for touchbacks and put one punt inside the Willowbrook 20-yard-line. Conrad had one punt return for 22 yards.

Chris Diaz scored not of Willowbrooks’ five touchdowns against Addison Trail.

Addison Trail boys soccer team wins Joe Novy Classic Blazers place four on alltournament team

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

It’s been a prosperous start to the season for the Addison Trail boys soccer team.

The Blazers were 5-1 overall through their first six games. Included in that total is the team winning its own Joe Novy Classic tournament. Addison Trail defeated No.

11 ranked Glenbard North 3-2 in the title contest.

Addison Trail placed seniors Enrique Luna, Edmond Montano and Brian Ramos, as well as junior Jonathan Hernandez on the all-tournament team at the Joe Novy Classic.

The Blazers also recently dropped a 3-0 decision to No. 2-ranked Morton in West Suburban Conference Gold Division action.

“We were tied 0-0 with 12 minutes left in the game against Morton and they were awarded a penalty kick to score their first goal,” noted Addison Trail coach Ryan Dini.

Addison Trail was ranked No. 10 in the Chicagoland area through late last week.

The Blazers were averaging 3.5

goals a game through their first six contests. “Our team is doing a great job of creating opportunities,” said Dini. “We have eight different players who have scored goals this season, which is impressive.”

Addison Trail also has been strong on the defensive end with three shutouts in its first six games. “All of this is being done with two starters out for all the games so far,” said Dini.

“They should be ready to return at the end of September, which will give our team a major boost.”

Junior goalies Jacob Grygo (6-4) and Jean Avila have been splitting time in goal. “They have been excellent,” said Dini.

Dini also has been pleased with the recent play of sophomore Melvin

“

Our next six games line up good for us, so if we keep playing soccer the way we know how to we should have a really good record.”

– Addison Trail coach Ryan Dini

Mora and senior Carlos Velazquez.

“Melvin has stepped in to play defense for us,” said Dini. “He has good size and speed and has been a huge boost for us. Carlos also has

done a good job at outside midfield.

He gives us good minutes on the field and has really hustled for 50-50 balls this season.”

Addison Trail has started play in the Pepsi Showdown tournament.

“We are in the second-toughest bracket out of the four,” said Dini, whose team is the No. 1 seed in the 16-team bracket. “We’ve had a great start to the season. Our only loss was to one of the top teams in the state and that game was a lot closer than what the score said at the end.

I know our team can compete with any team in the state. Our next six games line up good for us, so if we keep playing soccer the way we know how to we should have a really good record.”

Fenton football team records first win of the season Addison Trail boys and girls golf teams improving

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Fenton football team erased the memory of a pair of losses to start the season in a big way.

The Bison recorded a 33-0 Metro Suburban Conference crossover victory against Guerin Prep in River Grove.

The win moved Fenton to 1-2 overall.

Ivan Rodriguez led the Bison with two touchdowns in the game.

Fenton returns to action in Week 4 against Walther Christian. The contest against Walther starts a threegame home stand for the Bison.

Addison Trail boys golf Addison Trail sophomore Blaise Morris shot a 1-over par at the Addison Trail invitational earlier this season and earned himself a seventhplace medal.

Junior Kenny Bartkiewicz shot a 40 in a West Suburban Conference Gold Division dual against Downers Grove South.

“We have really focused on improving our short game with putting and chipping,” said Addison Trail coach Eric Norberg.

Addison Trail was scheduled to face Glenbard East in non-conference action and Morton and Leyden

in WSC Gold Division contests this week.

Addison Trail girls golf In recent action, Addison Trail split a pair of West Suburban Conference matches against Willowbrook (won) and York (lost).

“We are very young so we are just starting out with learning the game and trying to become consistent ball strikers,” said Blazers coach Phil Stewart.

Sara Gagliano and Julia Strazecki have been Addison Trail’s top two scorers thus far. “They both have a decent feel for the game,” said Stewart. “They just need to clean up some mistakes golfers make.”

Overall, Stewart has been pleased with the team’s progress. “I am very happy about the turnout of young

talent,” he said. “I am hoping we can keep the program growing and improving each year we play.”

Addison Trail was slated to face Downers Grove South and Hinsdale South in WSC matches this week.

The Blazers will head to the Glenbard East tournament Saturday.

Fenton golf The Fenton golf team was 2-3 in duals through late last week. In recent action, the Bison scored a 188201 Metro Suburban Conference win against Riverside-Brookfield.

Coach Rick Johnson lauded the recent play of Andrew Hill, Nik Fischer and Marcus Astorga. “Andrew, Nik and Marcus are playing well,” said Johnson.

Johnson noted Fisher, who took lessons in the off-season, has

dropped his average by eight strokes.

Johnson added the team has been hard at work improving its course management. “We are just starting to figure out how to get around the golf course—course management,” he said.

Fenton is slated to face Aurora Central Catholic Friday and will head to the Eagle Quad at White Pines on Saturday.

“We’re looking for a great finish,” said Johnson. “These guys are getting better every week. It’s a really nice group of young men and one great young lady in junior Jamie Minard.”

Addison Trail girls volleyball team pushing through tough schedule Blazers finish third at Willowbrook tournament

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The schedule has been competitive thus far for the Addison Trail girls volleyball team.

And that’s the way coach Dan Styler likes it.

“We’re doing better,” he said.

“We’ve definitely been tested at the beginning of the season. We play some tough teams on our schedule that have exposed some weaknesses.

And we’ve made it a priority to work on those weaknesses and we’re getting better every day.”

The Blazers were 5-4 overall through their first nine matches. In recent play, Addison Trail defeated Lake Park and lost to Fenwick in three sets and lost to York in a West Suburban Conference crossover match.

Addison Trail also took third in the Willowbrook tournament where it beat Coal City and Glenbard North and lost to West Chicago in pool play.

Addison Trail lost to tournamentchampion Metea Valley in the semifinals and defeated West Chicago in the third-place contest.

“Metea Valley is a great team and we played them tight,” said Styler.

“We beat West Chicago the second day. We had a full lineup the second time against them.”

Styler said one big area of improvement has occurred on first contact. “That’s a priority every year,” he said. “We always want more consistency with serve-receive. We’re going through the highs and lows you always have at the beginning of the season. We’re embracing it and the girls are committed to the process. I’m pleased with the effort they are putting forth and the fact they want to get better. We’re starting to find our stride with serving aggressively and picking apart the other teams in doing so.”

Styler added his players also are good with the team’s strength of schedule. “I told the girls if we kept the schedule like it was a few years ago we’d probably only have a few losses,” he said. “We want to be battle-tested in pursuit of October when the playoffs start. The record is secondary to the experience we are gaining from playing these elite teams. We’re pushing ourselves toward the bigger picture. The girls are improving and embracing the challenge.”

Sarah Petrbok and Keara Schmitt continue to lead the Blazers. “They have been very consistent for us in our first nine matches,” said Styler.

“They are our most steady players.

Other girls are growing more comfortable with their roles based on their positions. We’re seeing progress. We will be well-balanced as we continue to see the strides made by players on the team.”

Addison Trail played Hinsdale South to kick off WSC Gold Division play earlier this week. “Hinsdale always is a tough matchup and it’s one we look forward to,” said Styler late last week.

Week 4 Preview Walther Christian (0-3) at Fenton (1-2)

When: Friday, 7:15 p.m.

Where: Fenton High School, Bensenville Last week: Fenton 33, Guerin Prep 0; St. Edward 63, Walther Christian 8 Last year: Fenton 41, Walther Christian 8 Outlook: Fenton snapped a two-game losing streak last week by recording a road Metro Suburban Conference win over Guerin Prep. The Bison now welcome Walther Christian to town for another MSC crossover contest. Walther, which plays in the smallerschool Red Division, lost 30-0 to Milford co-op in Week 1 and then dropped a 41-14 decision to Rockford Christian in Week 2.

Fenton opens Blue Division play next week.

Willowbrook girls tennis team records pair of wins

Turn your trash into someone else’s treasure and fill your pockets with cash.

PRSRT STD US POSTAGE PAID ROCK VALLEY PUBLISHING LLC

The Fenton boys soccer team has seen a healthy dose of top-notch opposition in the early going of the 2016 season.

The Bison were 2-3-1 overall through their first five contests. Fenton lost to Leyden, Addison Trail and Downers Grove North and scored wins over Willowbrook and Maine West. Fenton tied with Chicago Currie.

“The three losses were to Chicagoland-ranked teams,” said first-year Fenton coach Jim Johns. “In the Downers Grove North game we had the better of the play yet we ended up losing on counter attacks.”

Included in that 2-3-1 mark was a third-place finish at the Addison Trail Joe Novy Classic tournament.

“We are bonding together,” said Johns. “We’re moving the ball up fast.

We certainly can attack pretty well.

The guys are responding well to instruction.”

The team captains include goalie Abel Carrere, defender Gerardo Lopez and midfielder Angel Barriga.

Defender Andres Barriga is the team’s fourth captain.

“Our goalie has made some incredible saves with breakaways,” said Johns. “Gerardo has been a rock on defense and Angel was the player of

the match against Willowbrook in the Joe Novy tournament.”

Johns, the former head coach at Neuqua Valley, also has been pleased with the team’s defensive efforts. “Our defense is improving,” he said. “One thing about them is they try to play the ball and play out. They are improving a lot. Early in the season it’s hard to get a cohesive unit right at the start. These guys are improving with every game.”

Johns said the squad’s work ethic also is one of its greatest assets. “One thing about them is their effort,” he said. “They never give up and they never quit. They keep playing hard and they keep trying. They give 100 percent effort. They play for the sport and give it everything they have.”

Other key contributors for Fenton include twin-brother midfielders Eryk Plawinski and Bernard Plawinski, outside defender Chris Duarte, midfielder Johnathan Chavez, forwards Jose Bahena and Eduardo Parra, as well as Alexis Rodriguez and Alioune Mbaye.

Angel Barriga is the team’s leading scorer.

Fenton was scheduled to open Metro Suburban Conference play this week against division foes Wheaton Academy and Riverside-Brookfield.

“Wheaton Academy is always a favorite to go down to state and R-B is a program that is really coming up,” said Johns.
