Megan Devine of Westmont received a full-ride scholarship to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where she plans to major in special education. The scholarship will come through the Evans Scholarship Foundation, which awards 240 full tuition and housing college scholarships annually to golf caddies nationwide.
SD • Wednesday, May 1, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Reporter | Progress
WESTMONT – Megan Devine knows the struggles of learning disabilities. The 18-year-old Westmont resident grew up with “a few” of them, but you wouldn’t know it today. That’s because when she graduates in a few weeks, she will leave Westmont High School as an honors student with a full-ride scholarship to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. “I worked really hard, and my parents and teachers pushed me,” said Devine, a member of the school’s National Honor Society who earned a 4.0 grade-point average last semester. “It took me awhile, but I just always tried to aim higher than my peers, and I really have overcome it since high school.” Devine’s full ride will come through the Evans Scholarship Foundation, which awards 240 full tuition and housing college scholarships annually to golf caddies across the country based on four criteria: a strong caddie record, excellent academics, demonstrated financial need and outstanding character. “I screamed,” Devine said when asked her reaction to finding out she would be an Evans Scholar. “It is really going to help our family.” Devine’s older brother, Kiel, was an Evans Scholar. He encouraged his sister to be a caddie like him. She has caddied at Hinsdale Golf Club for the past four years. “I really enjoy the atmosphere of a golf course, working with golfers and being outside,” she said. But perhaps what’s most impressive about Devine is the work she hopes to do while at U of I. She’s planning to major in special education. “I want to help other people who had trouble learning, just like I did,” she said.

TSC Alliance hosting fundraising walk WESTMONT – Local volunteers and supporters will gather to join a community walkathon called Step Forward to Cure Tuberous Sclerosis Complex May 18 in Westmont. The event takes place at the Ty Warner Park and Pavilion, at the corner of Plaza Drive and Blackhawk Drive, rain or shine, with registration beginning at 10 a.m. and the walk at 11 a.m. All proceeds benefit the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance (TS Alliance). Step Forward to Cure Tuberous Sclerosis Complex was created to raise awareness of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a devastating genetic disorder, while generating the funds critical to identifying effective treatments and an eventual cure. There is no registration fee, but pledges are required to participate. Prizes will be awarded to the top three individual fundraisers. TSC is estimated to affect nearly 50,000 people in the U.S. and more than one million worldwide. People with TSC commonly have epilepsy, behavioral disorders, skin disorders and other symptoms. Anyone seeking more information about the TS Alliance or TSC can go online at www.tsalliance. org or contact the organization toll-free at 800-225-6872. – Suburban Life Media

Ask Dr. Webster
Q: What role, if any, does Vitamin D play in dental health? A: Vitamin D is critical to healthy bones and teeth. Research done in 2012 at the University of Washington, a review of 24 clinical studies done over a 60-year period, showed that increased vitamin D levels in children were associated with a 50 percent decrease in the incidence of tooth decay. Dr. Philippe Hujoel, of the University of Washington, reviewed studies done by various health institutions in six countries, including the U.S., between the 1920’s and the 1980’s, involving some 3,000 children between the ages of two and 16. Sun exposure provides the body with a substantial amount of vitamin D. Foods that contain it are fatty fishes, like salmon and tuna, small amounts of vitamin D are found in avocado, cheese, mushrooms and egg yolks. In the U.S., vitamin D is routinely added to some products, like certain brands of orange juice and breakfast cereals. “The findings from the University of Washington reaffirm the importance of vitamin D for dental health,” said Dr. Michael Holick, professor of medicine at the Boston University School of Medicine. Talk with your dentist about the importance of vitamin D in enhancing the dental health of you and your children.

Army Spc. Adam Tomanovich is welcomed home by students April 22 at Walker School in Clarendon Hills. His mother, Deanne Tomanovich – who works at the school – set up the event.
SD • Wednesday, May 1, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Reporter | Progress
WESTMONT – It started with a parade and party, and it hasn’t let up since. Army Spc. Adam Tomanovich returned home from a nine-month tour in Afghanistan April 5 to a host of fanfare on his block in Westmont. Members of the Westmont police and fire departments as well as local veterans motorcycle groups escorted him as part of a welcome-home parade down Cass Avenue. Last week, he got another hero’s welcome at Walker School in Clarendon Hills, where Adam’s mother, Deanne Tomanovich, works as a resource teacher. Students and staff crowded the hallways to welcome Tomanovich by waving miniature American flags to patriotic music as the soldier walked the hallways in full uniform. “I really didn’t know it
was going to be like that,” the 20-year-old Westmont resident said. “I thought it was going to be a couple kids, so it was really nice. I don’t even know the word for it.” While in Afghanistan, Tomanovich’s unit primarily worked with people to help them adjust while U.S. troops were withdrawing from the region. As Tomanovich stood outside Walker School on April 22, a group of students slowly edged toward him, smiling. “Thank you for your service!” they shouted together. Tomanovich will be home from the Army until the end of the month before going back to Germany, where he will be stationed. In the meantime, Tomanovich said he’ll spend as much time as he can with friends and family and continue to enjoy the little things. “The first thing I wanted was just a home-cooked meal and some sleep,” he said.

Hearing loss is known to afect earning power for those in the workplace. Hearing loss also afects self conidence, communication with others, mental acuity, depression, memory and more. “Most hearing diiculties are treatable and treating the hearing can restore the normal life you once had.” said Dr. Lightbody.

During the late 1860s and early 1870s, Downers Grove grew with the influx of immigration along with soldiers returning home from the Civil War. The soldiers were astonished at the changes in the village while they were fighting the war. Emma Miller remembered how surprised her father was upon his return to find Main Street cut through the downtown. “When he left here, there was no street and no railroad. All the homes were along Maple Avenue, then the only artery for through horse traffic. When the railroad was built, Main Street was cut through from Maple Avenue to the tracks.”

Morton Arboretum scientist awarded Fulbright Scholarship SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LISLE – The Morton Arboretum has announced that Senior Research Scientist Andrew L. Hipp has been named a 2013-14 Fulbright Scholar. This is the first Fulbright awarded to a researcher at the Arboretum. The Fulbright funding will support a research stay by Hipp in Antoine Kremer’s lab at the French National Institute for Agricultural Research, INRA Bordeaux-Aquitaine, from January through May 2014. While there, Hipp will initiate collaboration with EVOLTREE, a consortium of 23 research groups in 13 European countries that investigates “the evolution of trees as drivers of terrestrial biodiversity.” “This collaboration is a great opportunity to bring together data from two collaborative research groups working largely independently,” Hipp said. “We are bringing together two large genetic datasets to address a question that neither
of us could address fully on our own.” Hipp’s research focuses on how oak biodiversity has evolved in response to climate. Understanding how oaks have adapted to previous climate shifts may help scientists model how oak species will respond to current and future climate change. The Fulbright-funded project will investigate how the genes that define oak trees hop around among the branches of the oak “tree of life.” “This kind of integrative research really demands collaboration,” Hipp said. Hipp has been the Plant Systematist and Herbarium Curator with The Morton Arboretum for eight years and recently was promoted to Senior Research Scientist. He enjoys tackling challenging questions in plant taxonomy and the evolution of biodiversity and has written or co-authored more than 30 peer-reviewed publications, mostly in international journals.

Autoimmune condition? Living with an autoimmune disorder can afect every part of your life. It keeps you from enjoying the good things in life… time with your kids, grandkids, activities like goling, 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. here is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders, but you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY. My name is Dr. Jefrey E Forzley, with Lemont Natural Healthcare. I am a chiropractic physician and a holistic practitioner. I am passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions. I have been in practice for 28 years. As a holistic practitioner I evaluate the 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 sufering with any of these autoimmune disorders? • Hashimotos hroiditis • 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 efects. hese side efects 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? here 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 speciic NEUROLOGICAL protocols and NUTRITION recommendations… Neuro-Metabolic herapy. 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. here are 2 parts to the front line defense of your immune system… TH1 (white blood cells) and TH2 (antibody response). hese 2 parts should work in balance together. But when you are sufering from an autoimmune disorder, one part is out of balance (dominant). his 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. hrough 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 sufered from unbearable itching caused by Hives (chronic autoimmune Urticaria) for over 33 years. Steroid medications helped the symptoms temporarily but the side efects were bad. Ater an in-depth blood and metabolic analysis, Dr. Forzley found the cause of my problem. Ater 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 herapy can manage autoimmune conditions by: 1) inding and balancing the underlying cause. 2) lowering the self destructive efects 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 speciic 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. hat’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 speciic neurological and nutritional protocols, I help to decrease your body’s inlammation, detoxify your body, balance TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17 which NATURALLY boosts your immune system. THAT is how I address autoimmune disorders.

Medical student shares Boston Marathon experience which was in the direction of the attack, she started seeing people walking in the opposite direction, crying, hugging and visibly upset. “I was just trying to find my husband,” recalled the 25-yearold Midwestern University medical student. “He ran it, too. He had finished earlier; we had agreed to meet at a hotel. I had no idea what was going on, and I heard somebody mention something about bombs. And at that point, I was even more worried.”
She made it back to the hotel where she saw the news coverage playing on a hotel restaurant TV. The worst thoughts began to creep into her mind, she said: “What if he had gone back to the finish line?” But soon she and her husband, Jason Dement, were reunited. “I went down this escalator, and he was standing at the windows looking for me,” she said. “We pretty much lost it at that point.” At that point, the hotel was placed on lockdown, and rumors of other unexploded bombs began to circulate. The couple’s flight that eve-
ning was canceled, but they rescheduled for the following morning. The race was her fifth marathon overall, her first in Boston. She said she had planned to run the Boston Marathon once, but the tragedy has given her new motivation. “Now with all that’s happened, my husband and I are really determined to be back for it next year,” she said. “We want to show that we’re not scare and we are strong. Part of our hearts will always be in Boston because of that.” Dement also organized a run April 22 in honor of those affected by the bombing.
More than 50 Midwestern University students and faculty members ran in the event, wearing clothing associated with the city. And members of the Midwestern University community were given blue and gold ribbons – the official colors of this year’s Boston Marathon – before the run. “Setting it up, part of it was part selfish on my part,” she said. “For me, it was a way to kind of heal from it and show my support in that way. Because the people that were hurt the most were spectators, and those are the people who cheered me on 20 minutes before it happened.”

By Audrey G. Freeman, Au.D., Dr. of Audiology You probably know that untreated hearing loss can be devastating. It can impact your safety at home, out in public, and in the workplace because it lessens your ability to hear the sounds warning us of impending dangers. But that’s not all; numerous studies have shown that hearing loss also impairs our overall quality of life because it takes away our ability to hear, understand, communicate, and interact with people around us. Consequently, a sense of isolation, loneliness, and even depression can take over our lives.
• You’ve got to see it to believe it. When it comes to having a visual impairment, nearly all of the boomers polled (90 percent) said they wear glasses/contacts all the time or for specific tasks; whereas only 11 percent wear a hearing aid to correct their hearing impairment.
Take Action – NOW! Okay, so now that you’ve seen the facts about negative impact unaided hearing loss has on the parent-child relationship, what are you going to do about it?
None of the above information may be new to you, but here is something you may not have thought about – a hearing loss can also affect your relationship with the people you love the most, especially your children. Did you ever ask your kids what effect your hearing loss has had on them?
Out of the Mouths of Babes There is no time like the present to listen to your kids. This is what they told the Energizer survey: • Hearing loss hinders relationships. Nearly half of adult children surveyed (45 percent) said a parent’s hearing loss has had an effect on the relationship they have with that parent. One in three (36 percent) said their parent misses important details about their lives; while nearly one in ten (9 percent) said
they don’t communicate or share information with their parent as much as they would like to because hearing loss get in the way. • Do as I say, not as I do. More then 8 percent of boomers said it was extremely or very important to their adult child to have their hearing checked; however, less than half (42 percent) of boomers surveyed had their own hearing screened within the past two years. • Dad, can you hear me now? More than four out of ten adult children (44 percent) said their parent needs a hearing aid.
The first logical step is to visit an audiologist that will test and fit you for hearing aids if needed. You may balk at its price (ranging from $1,000 to $2,500) but if truth be told, this will be one of the smartest investments you will ever make. Why? Because if you calculate the initial cost of hearing aids over the five year time span that an average device usually lasts, you will come up with a mere $3 a day. Ask yourself if good hearing, easy communication, and better social interactions with friends, family and co-workers (and your children) is worth three bucks a day? Ask your children. ~ adapted with permission by healthyhearing.org

In May, with the three remaining trustees and the three newly elected trustees in place, I am looking forward to providing the leadership to move Westmont forward. There will be challenges ahead. I believe if we work together and listen to our residents, we can continue to make Westmont a great place to live, work, shop and play.

Charles Luner lived with his wife, Gerda, in Downers Grove for more than 30 years. After her death in 1999, he found the manuscript of her memoir of surviving the Holocaust and got it published as a book.
Stories like the one the late Gerda Nothmann Luner endured during the Holocaust are epic accounts of survival and deserve to be shared with the world. That’s why the re-printing of the letters Luner wrote as a teenager escaping the horrors of the Holocaust is important news. To buy a copy of the book containing the letters, contact Charles Luner at 630-932-3187. She’s baaack. Diane Eenigenberg’s exit from Westmont was short, and many sweets lovers across town are happy.

VILLAGE COUNCIL TRANSITION CEREMONY AND RECEPTION On Tuesday, May 7, 2013, new Council members, David S.

A reception will be held in the Committee Room following the meeting. The public is invited to attend.
FLOOD DAMAGE SURVEY If you experienced flood damage and would like to complete a survey, you can still do so. This information continues to be helpful in compiling a thorough assessment of flood damage. The survey is not an application for individuals to receive funds, but is a first step in determining whether state and federal disaster funding will be made available. If and when funding is available, completed surveys will not be a requirement to receive funding. You will still be able to apply for potential funding, even if you did not complete a survey.
FEMA DISASTER DECLARATION PROCESS Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials will be in our area the week of April 29, 2013, to assess flood damage. This is the next step in the process to obtain a federal disaster declaration. Please note that FEMA assistance is not yet available; it will only be made available if DuPage County is included in a Presidential Disaster Declaration. With more than 40 Illinois counties affected by the flood, it is likely to take several weeks before FEMA is able to complete their assessment and a determination regarding providing federal disaster assistance can be made. Residents are encouraged to monitor the Protect DuPage website and Protect DuPage Facebook page for updates regarding flood recovery, including updates pertaining to the federal disaster declaration process. The Village will also provide updates on the process via our website, Facebook, Twitter, E-News and DGTV, as they become available.

Bolingbrook’s Al Spears storms onto local blues scene By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – It didn’t come until he was in his 30s, but once Al Spears picked up a guitar, it just stuck. “My boys called me nuts,” said Spears, a smile brimming from ear-to-ear as he recalled the day in 1992 when he told his family of his new hobby. “But, I stuck with it, and now they understand that the blues is much more than the weekly gigs and jam sessions.” Now 57, Spears and his Gibson guitar are regulars at Coop’s Den in Bolingbrook and the V-Lounge in Addison, two popular blues spots in the west suburbs. The Bolingbrook resident and West Chicago native also plays lead guitar in bands Twist and the Groove Machine and The Chicago Doodads – groups that headlined historic venues such as Blues on Halsted, Buddy Guy’s Legend’s and Kingston Mines. But it’s bringing the blues to his backyard in Bolingbrook – literally, in one case – where Spears gets his groove most, he says. Spears and his wife host an annual Memorial Day blues

Al “Hurricane” Spears frequently plays at Coop’s Den on Boughton Street in Bolingbrook. concert in their backyard, and Spears – who also repairs and refurbishes amplifiers in his free time – has made it his mission to bring the blues from Chicago out to the suburbs. It’s even written on his business card, “Blues in the Burbs.” “I’m a huge advocate [of blues] ... it’s alive and flourishing in [Chicago], and it’s my mission to bring that to Bolingbrook and the suburbs,” said Spears, who has an audio recording studio in his basement. Despite not picking up a guitar until he was 35, Spears has built his craft to the point
where it earned him the nickname “Hurricane.” After taking a few lessons in 1992, Spears bought his first guitar from a friend – an Ibanez Roadstar Series II. He eventually began hanging out at open mics, small jazz clubs and blues joints and his personal favorite, the now-closed Carter’s Place in Lockport. There, he met many artists, mentors and members of his soon-to-be blues ensemble, Twist and the Groove Machine. Although Spears says he was neither the fastest nor the

most gifted guitarist, he steadily built confidence and began experimenting with a new playing style. “Most blues guitarists play solely with their finger,” Spears said. “They have played for so long that they’ve developed knobs and calluses on their fingers. My hands weren’t fast enough, so I began using a pick, and I liked it a lot better. “One of the guys saw me picking chords and said, ‘Look at Hurricane go!’ I’m still not sure if it was a compliment or a a jab, but it stuck.” Playing the guitar and immersing himself in blues was a rebirth for Spears, who now describes his craft as an inspiration and something that’s best when shared with others. The oldest boy of six children, Spears was born and raised on Chicago’s west side, and from a young age he was charged with earning a paycheck to help his single mother and five brothers and sisters. “I’ve had over 30 jobs in my life,” Spears said. “I had a paper route, worked as a bus boy, and I was even a cabby for some time. A machinist, circuit court clerk, landscaper, painter, teacher, retail man-
agement – you name it, I’ve done it.” Yet, Spears always found time for music. “I would listen to music before I did my homework,” he said, detailing how such procrastination did not sit well with his mother. “Neither me nor my friends were musicians; we just liked music. We used to spend our entire paycheck on LPs.” The nostalgia is palpable as Spears recalls blaring Dewey “Pigmeat” Markham, old juke joints and countless 78 records on his family’s stereo. He’d then take to the alleys with his friends and imitate his idols, drumming on upside-down trashcans and lamp posts. When he’s not strumming the blues, Spears works with mortgage group Home Guardian and is husband to Donna and four grown children Albert IV, Zachary, Jesse and James. “Blues is a feeling,” Spears said during an interview before a Thursday night set at Coop’s Den. “It doesn’t have to always be sad, but it does have to be inspiring. When you can project whatever is on your mind through your guitar and relate to people, that’s special.”

In 2012, 941 volunteers invested more than 23,000 hours of service in the museum. Please join me in extending my sincere gratitude, on behalf of the museum and the children and families that we serve, for the efforts of our community volunteers. Let’s focus our attention on the impact and power of volunteerism, service and leadership with hopes to inspire others to engage in their communities. Whether facilitating the museum experience with visitors or helping us extend our outreach efforts to children and families that face physical or economic barriers to attendance, DCM volunteers make our mission a reality. We celebrate your service each and every day!
Continued from page 14
Children’s Museum would be without the aid and dedication of these volunteers. While we try to thank our volunteers every day for what they do, National Volunteer Week, April 21 to 27, was a special time of year to highlight and publicly thank all the wonderful volunteers who contribute to the museum’s success. Volunteers have played a critical role in the success of DCM since its beginning, when two extraordinary volunteers, Louise Beem and Dorothy Carpenter, founded the museum in 1987 with the purpose of providing open-ended, interactive learning experiences for young children. More than 25 years later, volunteers continue to help us positively affect the learning experiences Sue Broad of children and their families. President & CEO, DuPage Children’s Museum

Village of Westmont’s new Comprehensive Plan, the Westmont Community Development Department and consultants Houseal Lavinge have launched a Visual Preference Survey. Westmont residents can take the survey to rate images of various business districts and clusters throughout the region. The goal of the survey is to better gauge community ideals regarding positive aesthetic qualities in the business community, officials said. “Over the past year, the village has actively engaged the entire community as we work together to plan future improvements,” Community Development Director Shannon Malik said. “This survey allows people to view and rate dozens of images to help us get an idea of the
community’s preferences with regard to architectural style, development scale and other factors. Resident participation will serve as a guide to the type and quality of future development.” To take the survey, click on the link on the village of Westmont website at www.westmont .illinois.gov.

Restaurant reviews
Come for the crepes, stay for atmosphere at Suzette’s WHEATON – There’s a little bit of France on Front Street in Wheaton. More than a little, actually. When you stop by Suzette’s Creperie, you don’t just get a menu chock full of Gallic recipes. You’re immersed in a French dining experience. French cuisine, of course, is famed for dishes that feature such subtle flavors that it takes a refined palate to truly appreciate all the various shadings. I don’t know if I detected every last hint of seasoning in my meal at Suzette’s, but I came away more than pleased, nonetheless. At the attached patisserie – French for “pastry shop” – you can get just about every croissant, quiche and mousse your heart could desire. Need a quick breakfast? Order “le petit dejeuner” in one of four varieties: Française, Americano, Italiano or Español. The dining room at Suzette’s is warm and inviting, with standard, attractive seating interspersed with giant upholstered
chairs at intimate, two-person tables. Two ladies who sat at such a table near us apparently had ordered the English or French tea service, as servers stopped by periodically with little delights for them to peruse and choose from. My dining companion and I opted to order from the “bistro-style entree menu,” when we dropped by on a recent Saturday. My dining companion, who seldom misses an opportunity to pass up crepes or seafood, went straight for the salmon crepe, which features fresh salmon sautéed in butter, placed in a crepe and “laced with Tarragon Cream Sauce,” according to the menu. I was in the mood for something spicy, and the crab cakes with habanero lime sauce suited my mood perfectly. The crab cakes themselves are mild and lightly seasoned to enhance the flavor of the crab meat. A few bites without the sauce were perfectly enjoyable. But the sauce added a whole

’nother layer – somehow fiery and soothing at the same time; it enhanced the flavor of the crab cakes without drowning it out. It was fantastic, and I definitely will get it again. It was served with some mixed greens and whipped potatoes that complemented the main dish very nicely.
Suzette’s has a lot of different menus for different situations. They’ve got a breakfast menu, a crepes menu, a brunch menu, the bistro menu, a tea menu, a catering menu … you get the idea. This is a restaurant where a lot of thought has clearly gone into every aspect,

GreenMan Theatre to ponder ‘After the End of the World’ SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA In a fitting coda for GreenMan Theatre’s ninth season, the troupe presents a collection of short plays and one-acts about beginnings, endings and other apocalyptic scenarios. Titled “After the End of the World,” the nine plays are helmed by six directors, with a combined cast of 20 actors spanning the Cook and DuPage suburbs. Some of the plays are enjoying world premieres, while others are from wellknown playwrights such as Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter. GreenMan board member Carl Zeitler of Glen Ellyn shares the thoughts of his fellow playwrights and directors. He notes Cory Sandrock of Elmhurst directs “Castle,” whose premise deals with three couples who like to reenact famous literary characters or writers. Each pair thinks they have booked a remote castle all to themselves for their dream reenactment before the world is supposed to end. But comic situations arise when they discover the castle has booked them all together.
More info What: GreenMan Theatre Troupe presents “After the End of the World” Where: Asbury Hall at First United Methodist Church, 232 S. York Road, Elmhurst When: 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. Sundays, May 3 to 19 How much: $17, $15 for seniors and students; industry discount Sunday, May 5; www.greenmantheatre.org Sandrock relishes the directorial challenge. “Through rehearsals, the cast is embracing the eccentricities of each character, and they are enjoying the process of creating each over-the-top personality,” he says. Palatine playwright Cathleen Ann explains her inspiration. “I wrote ‘Castle’ to poke some fun at the idea of ordinary people being prompted to indulge in extraordinary adventures in response to the threat of the world ending,” she says.
The nine plays run from humorous to serious. “And Then What?” – written and directed by Zeitler – falls into the reflective category. The story deals with two recently deceased strangers being led to an afterlife waiting room by a mysterious host. As they await news of their fate, they start a conversation about happier times and their ideas of heaven and hell. Local cast member is Renata Allelujka of Downers Grove. “I was intrigued by the prospect of showing real people in an unreal situation,” Zeitler says. “It’s interesting that we always hope that the departed rest in peace … What if the departed had to cope with finding peace, too?” Sandrock also directs “Goodbye, Oscar” by Romulus Linney. “I was introduced to this script in college,” he recalls. “After enjoying my work with it as an actor, the script stuck in my memory and seemed to be a perfect fit for our after-the-end-of-the-world theme.” In the play, Oscar Wilde, lying on his deathbed in Paris, is visited by a young gentleman who brings memories, or

As they explore these fleeting moments, Oscar contemplates the chances he lost in life, as well as his hopes for the future. “I am especially intrigued by the fact that it is never clear whether the young gentleman character is an angel or a devil or something else,” Sandrock says. “I am also a huge fan of Oscar Wilde, so a play that explores his death is immediately interesting to me.”

Big-time impact By JASON ROSSI
Game box
jrossi@shawmedia.com WESTMONT — Much of the action for high school baseball players takes place away from the spring season. That was the case for Westmont sophomore Charlie Donovan, who committed to play college ball at Michigan last August. “They saw me at a showcase and they really liked me, and I fell in love with the school,” Donovan said. “It felt right when I went there for a visit, so I decided to commit.”
Westmont 11 Latin 1 Top hitters: W — Charlie Donovan 2-for-2, 2B, 3B, 3 R, 2 RBIs; Zach Moran 3-for-3, R, 3 RBIs; Jean Pietrzak 1-for-2, 2 R, RBI
There’s a reason the Wolverines jumped on Donovan. “He’s a special talent,” Westmont coach D.J. Cocks said. “In the time I’ve been coaching, he’s one of the most talented kids I’ve coached. He’s a special ball-
player. The sky’s the limit for him. I cherish being able to coach a player like that.” All facets of the game seem to come naturally to Donovan, a left-handed hitting shortstop who also pitches for the Sentinels. “He’s well-rounded,” Cocks said. “He can fly on the bases, he’s got a cannon for an arm, he hits for average and he hits for power. He’s a five-tool player and that’s something special. And you could say the sixth tool he has is the intangibles. He’s got a lot of baseball smarts.” As good and consistent
Michigan-bound sophomore Donovan helps Sentinels rally from slow season start
as Donovan has been this season, baseball is a team game and it has taken a team effort to rebound from a 4-3 start. Heading into Monday’s home Interstate Eight Conference game against Coal City, the Sentinels’ record stood at 15-4 overall and 6-2 in conference. Jean Pietrzak, Zach Moran and Greg Pietrzak, Westmont’s top three starting pitchers, were a combined 11-3 on the season following a doubleheader sweep of Noble Street Charter over the weekend, each with just one loss on the record.
“I’ve been exceptionally pleased with out starting pitching,” Cocks said. “Those three guys have been huge for us, and almost every time out it seems like they throw a complete game for us. They’ve been unbelievable for us all year.” All three have been good away from the mound, too. Moran drove in four runs as the Sentinels topped Noble Street 14-4 and 9-2. Jean Pietrzak plated two runs in the second game.

League-rival Herscher rallies late to top Westmont softball SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WESTMONT – Leading 3-0 through 5½ innings, Westmont High School’s softball team saw Herscher post a four-run rally in the bottom of the sixth to win Friday’s Interstate Eight Conference game 4-3. The game was scoreless until the fourth. Megan Seratt reached with a one-out single, and Susie Sternard singled behind her. Seratt then stole third and came home on Catherine Krolak’s
single, which moved Sternard to third. Sternard stole home to give Westmont a 2-0 lead. Seratt doubled to start the sixth and eventually scored on a steal of home with Krolak at the plate. Seratt finished the game 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Claire Conneely, Skyler Poel, Maria Prete, Kristen Skala and Amanda Anderson had single hits. In the circle, Skala struck out six but surrendered five walks and 10 hits.
DOWNERS GROVE – Anything can happen in the game of baseball. A bad hop, misplaced pitch or a mental miscue can mean the difference between a win and a loss. Downers Grove South didn’t have to worry much about mistakes in a weekend doubleheader against Proviso East. The Mustangs swept both games from the Pirates by 15-0, in the process running their winning streak to 10 games as they remained in

first place in the West Suburban Gold with a 13-1 mark. They were set to finish the three-game series against East on Monday and will wrap up their WSG slate of games with a series against Willowbrook, which starts with Saturday’s doubleheader in Downers Grove. By virtue of a 2-1 series win over Hinsdale South earlier this season, Downers South remains a game ahead of the Hornets in the WSG in the loss column. Hinsdale South has two WSG series remaining, against Addison
Trail and Proviso East. The Mustangs were well on their way to victory in the first inning of both games Saturday. They jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the first game and a 7-0 edge in the second game. Eight of South’s 19 hits in the two games went for extra bases. Kevin Raher had a double in each game while John Drevney had a double in Game 1 and a triple in Game 2. Danny Mayer was the winner in the first game while Zach Taylor won Game 2.
“I would definitely say the experience factor has been huge for us,” the coach said. “Last year, these guys were all new to the varsity game. It took time to adjust, but we started playing better at the end of the year. The experience factor and not having to adjust has been huge for us.” The Sentinels will be relying on that experience factor during a big week. After a two-game series against Coal City, they are sched-
uled to face Peotone (4:30 p.m. Wednesday) and ReedCuster (4:30 p.m. Friday) in a pair of conference home games before facing rival Lisle in a two-game conference series Monday and Tuesday. All those games are important to the conference race and the look of the postseason. “I told the guys, the regional seeding happens Monday,” Cocks said. “So these games are big as far seeding goes.”
By JASON ROSSI DOWNERS GROVE – Dugout discussions can cover a range of topics, but there’s one thing Downers Grove North’s baseball team won’t be talking about. That would be the West Suburban Silver conference race. Even after a pair of weekend wins over Glenbard West helped the Trojans maintain their hold on first place, the conference race was the last thing on head coach Chad Isaacson’s mind. “We only worry about our house,” Isaacson said. “We’ve got 25 kids we want to get better. My thought process has not changed in my 14 years here: Let’s face today, today and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.” So even though the schedule has the Trojans (14-3 overall, 10-1 WSS entering the week) hosting crosstown-rival Downers Grove South at 4:30

Downers Grove North first baseman Brandon Bazeluk waits for a pickoff attempt Friday in the Trojans’ 8-1 win over Glenbard West at Legion Field in Downers Grove. p.m. Thursday and traveling to Oak Park-River Forest for a key conference doublehead Saturday, Monday’s game at Glenbard West and Tuesday’s contest at Proviso East superceded the contests later in the week. Winning the conference title would be nice; but to do that, the Trojans need to continue playing well, which is foremost on their minds.
“It’s in the back of your mind, but you don’t want to think about it too much,” senior James Sheldon said. “You just let it play out as you go. You don’t want any distractions. You just want to play the way you’re supposed to play.” North had a slip-up in a 1-0 nonconference loss to Willowbrook on April 25, but
bounced back with wins over West on Friday and Saturday to make it seven wins in its last eight games. The winning formula hasn’t been complicated. “The No. 1 thing is our pitchers pound the zone,” Isaacson said. “Even going back to when we lost to Willowbrook, Danny Miller threw strikes. Against Addison Trail, Matt Bohanon threw strikes and we gloved the ball behind him. We have to continue to do that.” The Trojans played error-free baseball in Saturday’s 8-0 win over the Hilltoppers. Pitcher Mike O’Malley allowed just four hits, two of which were infield singles, and another single came with two outs in the top of the seventh. They also got timely hits and production up and down the lineup. The bottom third of the order — David Henson, Matt Zabloudil and Emil Baftirovski — combined to go 2-for-8 with a run and a pair of RBIs. All but two players had hits. North scored

four runs with two outs. Southard, O’Malley and Lucas Fisher – North’s three conference starting pitchers – have been dominant so far this spring. With solid defense and timely hitting also coming through, the Trojans are playing well with the postseason looming May 20. “We’ve been there offensively all year, but we’re getting a little stronger,” Sheldon said. “We’re getting used to seeing the pitching, and everybody is getting better.” The Trojans beat Glenbard West 8-1 in Friday’s series opener.

dsantaromita@shawmedia.com DOW N E R S G R O V E — Caroline Hedgcock was nervous before Friday’s game against Morton and that was before she knew how early she’d come into the game. The Downers Grove South freshman pitcher was thrown into the fire of the big West Suburban Gold clash between the two Mustangs. Starting pitcher Kelly Schmitt left in the first inning with an injury after Morton had already scored a run, but Hedgcock shut the door in South’s 4-1 win Friday. “I was sitting in my eighth-period class freaking out because I was so nervous,” Hedgcock said. “I’m

always ready to play, but I was not expecting (to come in early). I’ve never really had to throw without warming up at all so I was really, really nervous.” The lefty kept Morton at bay as South (10-5 overall and 4-0 in the WSG after the game) battled back to win the game. “Everyone was saying maybe I should start a game
without warming up at all,” Hedgcock said with a laugh. South tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the first on an infield single by Caitlyn Daly. Daly added a triple in the third as part of a threerun inning that was aided by three Morton errors. Hedgcock shut the door to help South win the battle of Gold undefeated teams. “She came in a little earlier than she probably expected to in the first inning there, but she did a great job,” said Downers South coach Ron Havelka. “She came in and shut the door.” Havelka said Monday that Schmitt, coming off an ACL injury in the fall, tweaked her previously injured knee but said that it was not serious. He said Hedgcock will pitch until Schmitt is ready to come

days rest and see how she’s doing later in the week,” the coach said. “I’d like to have her pitch Saturday because she is a senior.”

Westmont’s Doll voted ‘most outstanding’ at track invite GIRLS SOCCER
BOYS TRACK & FIELD
Downers North The Trojans topped West Suburban Silver-foe Proviso West, 6-2 on April 25 to improve to 5-6-0 on the year ahead of a Monday game against Bartlett.
Westmont Tim Doll was voted Most Outstanding Athlete at Friday’s Chicago Christian meet after winning the 100- and 200-meter dashes with times of 11.36 and 23.04 seconds, respectively. He also took second in the 400 dash (50.83) and anchored the 4 x 400 relay to a second-place time of 3:35.41. As a team, the Sentinels placed third with 73 points. Defending Class 1A champ Leo won with 109 points. The Sentinels finished second in the 4 x 800 relay with a time of 8:41.46, and David McDermott was third in the discus with a throw of 126 feet, two inches.
Downers South The Mustangs fell in a pair of 1-0 games in the Naperville invite over the weekend. First was a defeat against Fremd Thursday night. The Vikings’ lone goal came on a breakaway shot that keeper Jamie Furio initially saved, but a rebound led to the score early in the first half, and South couldn’t convert on its own chances. A second-half penalty kick for Wheaton North was the lone score in Friday’s Naperville invite action as South slipped to 9-7-1 on the year.
BOYS VOLLEYBALL Downers North The Trojans went 1-2 in pool play and 1-1 in bracket play to claim seventh place at their own invite over the weekend. North started the tourney with a 25-20, 23-25, 15-12 win over Riverside Brookfield before falling to Schaumburg and Willowbrook in pool play. After falling to Payton in the consolation bracket, the Trojans topped Schaumburg 25-18, 25-15 to claim seventh place.
Downers Grove North Ryan Clevenger, Dillon Murphy, Jack McGinnis and Jack Diamond clocked a 8:43.96 to win the 4 x 800-meter relay at Rolling Meadows’ Mustang Invite on Friday. The relay showing was North’s best finish as it tallied 20 points and finished ninth overall.
