Tom Distasi haspizza by the sliceready to go Tues-day. His BaldinelliPizza, Hinsdale’soldest pizza place,changed locationsto South WashingtonStreet in downtown with more seating,including a banquet room in the back.
HINSDALE – Seeking to move for-ward with its master facilities plan,Hinsdale High School District 86 isbringing in community members to re-view the plan and help make a recom-mendation on facilities projects to thedistrict’s school board this summer.
Volunteers learned about the pro-cess during a kickoff meeting Feb. 12at Hinsdale South High School, lead bythe architecture and construction firmARCON Associates.
Volunteers will make up functionalteams that will each look at a differentarea of the district’s master facilitiesplan adopted in 2011.
Teams include district administra-tion, building administration, careertechnology administration, studentsupport services, site, infrastructureand safety-security, classroom space,library, P.E./drivers ed/athletics, sci-ence, arts, IT, special education, build-ing circulation, community utilizationof facilities, sustainability and green-ery and cafeteria.
The teams will gather informationto see if the master plan needs to beupdated.
“Education changes, populations
change,” ARCON representative JeffHuck said. “One of the tasks is whatthings have changed in the past fouryears.”
Teams are expected to make theirinitial recommendations to a steeringcommittee by mid-March, which will
evaluate the recommendations andhost an open community workshop.
The teams will take the feedbackfrom the steering committee and eval-uate the information again in Aprilbefore making their final recommen-dation in time for another communityworkshop in May.
The steering committee will comeup with a facilities budget in June, pri-oritizing the projects and present it tothe board of education by August.
Huck said the timeline couldchange, but he would still like to geta majority of the work done before theend of the school year.
“The goal is to get as much done aswe can before the teachers are gonefor the summer,” he said. “They’re aresource for us [in information gath-ering].”
Jill Pachicano, who attended theThursday meeting, said she has twodaughters who graduated from the dis-trict.
“I feel they got an excellent educa-tion,” she said. “I would like to supportthe district to make sure it will alwaysbe an excellent education system.”
John Delaney, who will be leadingone of the teams, said it is important toget perspective from community mem-bers without children in the district.
Sometimes parents will make rec-ommendations based on what theywould like to see for their childrenrather than what is financially practi-cal, he said.
Ann Mueller brings perspectiveas a former teacher and CommunityConsolidated School District 181 Boardmember.

HINSDALE – They may beat a new location, but it’s stillthe same old Baldinelli’s thatHinsdale residents have beenordering pizzas from for 25years.
The Distasio family hasbeen running Baldinelli Piz-za – Hinsdale’s oldest pizzajoint – since July 2013 whenthey took it over from a fami-ly friend. In October 2014, theymoved the restaurant from itsprevious location at 32 E. Hin-
sdale Ave. to it’s current loca-tion at 114 S. Washington St.
According to owner TomDistasio, the new BaldinelliPizza location features seatingfor 35, a banquet room that canaccommodate guests for largeevents, a bigger emphasis onthe restaurant’s gelato andItalian ice offerings and a newbrick oven for “old world”-style pizzas, in addition to thetraditional Baldinelli’s pizzaHinsdale residents have cometo love.
“We wanted to expand andalso bring in a place [for cus-
tomers] to sit down,” TomDistasio said of the reason forswitching addresses.
Previously, Baldinelli’spizzas were available for car-ry-out and delivery only.
“Now you can sit down andget a pizza fresh right out ofthe oven,” Tom Distasio said.“If the kids want a [traditionalstyle] cheese pizza, we can dothat, but the parents can orderan old world-style for them-selves if they want somethingdifferent.”
The restaurant also now of-fers a number of seafood dish-
es – including a fish sandwichfor Lent – and a roasted chick-en dinner.
Vince Distasio, Tom’s sonand the manager of Baldinel-li Pizza, said that giving cus-tomers a place to sit down andeat in the restaurant has beengood for business.
“It’s opened up a new cus-tomer base for us,” Vince Dis-tasio said. “People never reallyknew we had gelato before, butnow it’s right out there. Evenin this cold weather [saleshave] been fantastic.”
Tom Distasio believes it’sthe quality of the food that hasbrought their old customers tothe new location, in addition
to new customers coming infor their first time.
“Everything is fresh; noth-ing is frozen,” Tom Distasiosaid. “We make everythingin house. We make our ownItalian beef, we stuff our ownItalian sausage, our meat-balls are all homemade. Ev-erything is made right therefor you.”
For Vince Distasio, it’s thecustomer service that keepsthe customers returning timeand again.
“We have a lot of regulars,”Vince Distasio said. “I like totalk to [the guests] and get toknow them. I get to know ev-

Residents chip in to help buy land for forest preserveBy DIANE KRIEGER [email protected]
HINSDALE – Residents of Hins-dale’s Timberlake subdivision canbreathe a sigh of relief, thanks to a co-operative effort between 22 homeown-ers and the Forest Preserve District ofDuPage County.
The homeowners chipped in theirown cash to make up a $40,000 shortfallso the District could buy 9 acres of landadjacent to their neighborhood nearWaterfall Glen Forest Preserve. Thesale closed Jan. 29.
Residents of the unincorporatedresidential development have beenconcerned for years that the property,which is 50 percent watershed, would bedeveloped. The forest preserve districthad designated the parcel east of West-ern Avenue and north of 87th Street asinstrumental to its long-term plans.
“The neighbors didn’t want devel-opment there,” said District 3 Commis-sioner Linda Painter, who spearhead-ed the effort. Painter is also a residentof Timberlake. “The seller would notcome below $250,000. We’re not allowedby law to pay more than the fair mar-ket value, which was $210,000, becausethat’s taxpayers’ money.”
Painter went door-to-door to collect
the $40,000, which was donated to theFriends of the Forest Preserve Districtof DuPage County, a nonprofit organi-zation.
“They made the donation in a spe-cial fund strictly for the purchase ofthat land. It’s a win-win for every-body,” Painter said.
She added the residents who donat-ed will get a tax break.
“It sets the bar high and shows that acommunity can work with a public entityfor the good of everybody,” Painter said.
“It’s a great opportunity,” said
Adam Cyze, a resident who built hishome in Timberlake eight years agoand who has owned property in thearea for more than 20 years. “It showsthat working with the forest preservewe were able to acquire property to en-sure future generations can enjoy it.”
Cyze looked at the successful effortas a model for future land acquisitions.
“If you get a bunch of people andshow them what you’re going to do, Ithink they’re likely to be more accept-ing of it,” he said. “It was really niceLinda took the reins and explained it to
everybody and was able to get it done.”Tom Both, a 13-year resident, said
residents had been lobbying one wayor another to stop development and getthe property into the hands of the for-est preserve since he’s lived there.
“The effort started even before that,”Both said. “It created a great deal of un-certainty in the neighborhood. It’s un-suitable for building, but a number of de-velopers were dead set on developing it.”
Both said development would havebeen out of character with the area.
“We’d been talking about variousways among ourselves how we couldget it, and now that there was an op-portunity, it was like, “Yes! We’re justreally relieved to finally have it in goodhands,” Both said.
Painter said residents would contin-ue their work to better the area as well.
“We can’t put trails through wet-lands but we’re going to clean it up,”Painter said. There’s a lot of garbagethere so we’ll have a community clean-up in the spring.”
The Forest Preserve District of Du-Page County Board officially thankedthe Timberlake residents at its meetingFeb. 10 and planned to recognize theircontributions by adding their namesto the brass giving tree in the lobby of
district’s headquarters in Wheaton.

Cancer doctors improving patientcare with survivorship care plans
By Diane Krieger Spivak
Thanks to advances in cancer treat-
ment more people than ever are surviving
cancer. The result, according to the As-
sociation of Community Cancer Centers,
has been a need to move from palliative
care to long-term cancer survivorship and
a survivorship care plan to see that sur-
vivors’ health, psychological and social
needs are being met.
According to the National Cancer In-
stitute there were more than 12.6 million
cancer survivors in the United States in
2009. Of those, more than 2 million were
longer-term survivors of at least 20 years.
A survivorship care plan is a document
to be provided to a cancer survivor which
summarizes his or her diagnosis, treat-
ment, associated short- and long-term tox-
icities, expected course of recovery, signs
of late effects or recurrence, follow-up
plan and information to support the sur-
vivor through potential complications. In
short, it details the patient’s cancer history
and a recommended follow-up plan.
According to ACCC oncologists who
were trained in long-term effects of can-
cer were twice as likely to discuss survi-
vorship care. Additionally, primary care
physicians who were given survivorship
cancer plans by those oncologists were
nine times as likely to discuss survivor-
ship care with their patients.
In 2006 the Institute of Medicine is-
sued a report recommending that every
cancer patient receive an individualized
survivorship care plan that includes
guidelines for monitoring and maintaining
their health. In 2012 the Commission on
Cancer began requiring accredited cancer
centers to include an SCP and treatment
summary for each patient by 2015.
Today there are several care plans
available to improve survivors’ quality of
life post-cancer treatment. Some of those
plans are: What’s Next? Life after Cancer
Treatment, Journey Forward, Prescription
for Living, American Society of Clinical
Oncology Cancer Treatment Summaries
and LIVESTRONG Care Plan.
Cancer survivors should talk to their doc-
tor about what plan may be right for them.

The experience of having a child with a disability is some-thing that only one who has walked in those shoes can trulyunderstand. Trying to understand the diagnosis and what itreally means for your child, as well as your family, can be anoverwhelming experience. And it is a journey.
Throughout this journey,parents, caregivers and otherfamily members can expe-rience ups and downs filledwith joy, fun, pride, happiness,encouragement, frustrations,sadness, grief, confusion andstress. These feelings are universal to those who have a child witha disability in their family – including the child as well as moms,dads, grandparents, siblings, and others in their circle of support.
At Charlie’s Gift, our mission is to support the family as awhole through a family-center approach. In order to bring thismore fully to life, the Family Enrichment Program has beendesigned as a means of bringing family members (and others whoare members of the circle of support for the family) together insituations that promote education, networking, sharing resourc-es, learning from each other and obtaining resources and support.
The Family Enrichment Program is led by Carla Oldham, aprofessional in the field of disabilities, but most importantly,the mother of a teenage son with autism. Carla brings parentsand family members together through Coffee and Conversa-tion, a monthly networking, support and education group.Topics are discussed and informal conversations are facilitatedwith the focus being on building supportive relationships,sharing information, and sharing the journey of being involvedin the life of a child on the autism spectrum.
Another part of The Family Enrichment Program is Sib-shops, a program nationally known for the opportunity to bringthe brother and sisters of children with special needs togetherto meet, play, learn and support each other. Carla hosts theseSib events on a monthly basis for children 6 and older.
The team at Charlie’s Gift – known for providing speech,occupational, behavioral therapy and counseling, as well associal development groups – sees the Family EnrichmentProgram as a perfect complement to the services already beingprovided. Seeing parents and siblings come together to meet,learn from, and support each other is a wonderful experience.It is the greatest gift we can give to them.

Madison School in Hinsdale has been named one of the top-50 American public elementary schoolsby thebestschools.org.
Way to go, Madison. The Hinsdale school was named one of the
top-50 American public elementary schools by thebestschools.org.
Academic excellence, extracurricular richness, and geographic
and demographic diversity were among the factors considered.
Keep up the excellent work.
Just a few months before renovations were scheduled to start at
Central Park in Oak Brook, the park district’s $400,000 state grant
was put on hold. No reason was provided for the state’s decision to
withhold the money. Park district officials sound optimistic that
funding will eventually come through. In the meantime, however,
Butler School District 53, which has been without a playground
since June 2013, will have to wait for the playground equipment
the park district promised to donate after the renovation.

Adults let down childrenof Jackie Robinson WestWhat happened to the children of
Jackie Robinson West is shameful. Thosechildren played their best. They dideverything they were supposed to do.The adults let them down! I hope thosecoaches are banned from ever coachingagain. To them, it was more importantto win than show the boys that honestyand integrity are what counts. Imaginethe hurt the coaches have caused theseboys. I just hope the boys can see thisfor what it is and not let it destroy theirhopes and dreams.
Pat on back for Public WorksA tip of the halo and a pat on the back
to Mr. Schiller and his wonderful PublicWorks crew in Berwyn for the great jobof snow removal, but a note to the PoliceDepartment: You’ve got to do somethingabout the horrific traffic problems ateach of the schools when school is out.Even without the snow, it’s a terrible,terrible traffic mess.
Where’s the religious tolerance?Why do people feel compelled to den-
igrate other religions and then wonderwhy there are consequences to theiractions? Freedom of speech means you“can,” but does it mean you “should”?Where is the humor in mocking anyreligion, whether it be through polit-ical cartoons comparing Mohammedto a dog, “Saturday Night Live”-typeprograms making fun of Muslims andChristians, so-called “artistic” displaysplacing Christ immersed in urine, protest-ers making a mockery of religious ritesfor fallen servicemen at cemeteries, etc.?Wouldn’t the world be a better place ifall of us recognized how sacred eachindividual religion is to the followers ofthat religion?
Too much focus on pollsOur political campaigns have become
too expensive and much too long. Thereis some value for the voter in the tele-vised debates. At least we can learn whatpositions the candidates have on certainissues. But the TV media does focustoo much on polls and pollsters. It canalways find a poll somewhere that willsupport its agenda, and then it becomesthe news. Is everyone watching?
U.S. needs to take action againstterrorists groups in Middle EastThe murder of American hostages by
Muslim extremists is terrible. How doesthe U.S.A. stop this? First, imagine how
a President Roosevelt, Eisenhower orReagan might have responded to suchmurders. Immediate carpet bombingof manufacturing centers and terroristenclaves is a good guess. With today’stechnology, enhanced security and pin-point retaliatory capability, a terroristgroup would be certain of self-destruc-tion, ordered by presidents who caredmore about the safety of Americancitizens than political correctness.
Start COD building name petitionI just read the article from the person
who suggested that the Homeland Secu-rity Education Center at COD be namedafter Sgt. Robert Miller, who was a Medalof Honor recipient, instead of the outgo-ing president. I wish that person wouldinitiate a petition and get publicity onthat. He or she should call back in and tellpeople where to go to sign this petition.It’s a worthy reason to change the name.
Snow removal past Cass AvenueWestmont snow removal wasn’t
that much better than Downers Grove.They spend most of their time going upand down Cass Avenue in downtownWestmont. Sure, Cass Avenue is cleardown to the pavement. But drive downthe side streets a day or two after thesnowstorm. You’re lucky if the plow wentthrough once. I know people who live onthe south side of town and whose streetswere not plowed for a couple of days.Don’t give Westmont that much creditunless you only drive through downtownWestmont on Cass Avenue.

Comcast complaintThis has to do with Downers Grove
Comcast. I pay over $80 a month forthe digital starter package and all theextra fees that they tag on with it. Andyet, there is no on-screen guide to their
programs. Now, they used to have sucha guide on a certain channel where youcould see what’s on, but now they took itaway, and when you call them, they haveno explanation. This is ridiculous. Howare you supposed to know what’s on?Just one more bad thing about Comcast.
Bag initiative is not a new ideaThis is not a new issue. Developing
countries, such asMongolia, have attachedsmall fees to plastic bag usage for quite awhile. Very progressive. Of course, Europeannations have encouraged reusable bag usefor a long time. It has even inspired awholenew fashion in tote bags. Our village shouldfind creativeways to discourage disposableplastic bag usage [and] find solutions tomany other environmental issues that cancontribute to our community’s well-being.

Music comforts DuPage Convalescent residentsBy NATHAN LURZ
WHEATON – Sometimes a song canmake a world of difference.
Residents of the DuPage CountyConvalescent Center get serenaded bysongs ranging from “Bicycle Built forTwo” to “Count on Me” by Bruno Marsby the center’s music therapist, Bren-da Buchanan.
Buchanan said she was driven intothe field after seeing the joy it broughther mother when she was hospitalizedseveral years ago.
She has spent two hours with a widevariety of residents – including someof its lowest-functioning adults, Alz-heimer’s patients and those with Par-kinson’s – each Thursday and Fridaysince she was hired in September 2014.
The longtime church organist andSchaumburg resident approaches eachresident with the same enthusiasm asthe last, trying to engage each of thempersonally. For those who can, she fillshands with maracas, drums and othernoisemakers.
For many who can’t, she goesaround to each individual, dances withthem, sings their favorite songs, asksthem questions and tries to give them
as much sensory stimulation as pos-sible.
The positive impact on patientwell-being, she said, is backed by re-search. Music therapy has been foundto help a wide variety of conditions, in-cluding dementia, Alzheimer’s, autismand more, according to the American
Music Therapy Association.“Music is good for so many things,”
Buchanan said. “Music can be used asa social way of engaging, [it can] alle-viate pain.”
Buchanan was brought on boardby the center’s recreation departmentthanks to funding from the DuPage
Convalescent Center Foundation, saidLinda Linford, foundation coordinator.
The foundation is dedicated to in-creasing quality of life in the center,and when 80 percent of the residentsreceive some kind of public aid, enter-tainment through the center is some-times the only kind many get.
“I talk to the medical aides upstairswho said the gentlemen on their floorcompletely change after she is withthem,” she said. “Their whole body isimpacted, they have more energy, theyfeel better.”
Many of those she works with re-main unresponsive during her perfor-mances, but Buchanan said she doesn’tmind.
“The times I do get them to smileor respond are sometimes even betterthan the ones who do it all the time,”she said. “I like the challenge of figur-ing out what can help them enjoy lifefor a little bit.”

Board may dissolve DuPage Fair and Exposition AuthorityBy NATHAN LURZ
The latest DuPage County con-solidation effort may funnel somemuch-needed cash into the hands of thecounty fairgrounds.
County Board Chairman Dan Cro-nin confirmed the county was lookingat dissolving the DuPage Fair and Ex-position Authority.
The organization is charged withreceiving and distributing annual pay-ments from the Illinois Department ofAgriculture to the DuPage Fair Asso-ciation to put on the five-day summercounty fair.
Cronin said the authority was anunnecessary layer of government.
“I always was prepared to dissolvethe authority, but we wanted to makesure there was a clearer picture aboutthe condition of the buildings andwhat the future of the fair might be,”he said.
The fair association’s lease for thegrounds is up in 2020, which has ledcounty officials to look into what theyshould do with the property and fair.The county recently received a reportdetailing suggestions for the future ofthe fairgrounds as well as more than 300
building code violations on its grounds.Many of the violations have already
been addressed, DuPage County FairAssociation Treasurer Jim McGuiresaid in January, but work remained.
Should the authority be dissolved,the fair association would likely re-ceive about $240,000 the authority hadin reserves as well as be the $204,000the authority receives from the Depart-ment of Agriculture each year.
County Board member Jim Zay pub-licly brought up the idea during a Feb.10 County Board meeting after speak-ing to Cronin about it, Zay said.
“We’re the only county in the statethat has a fair authority and a fair as-sociation, every other county has a fairassociation,” he said. “So why do weneed that extra layer? We don’t.”
Mike Formento, chairman of theauthority, said he supported shuttingdown the body.
Originally, the authority was set upin the 1980s to be a watchdog of sortsover the money, eventually take overthe fair and also eventually accumu-late money for future real estate devel-opment.
The real estate angle neverdeveloped, the association remains incontrol of the fair and Formento saidhe believed the association could serveas its own check and balance.
“We served our purpose,” he said.“We have very, very limited funds onhand, which should be used now toassist in making whatever improve-ments need to be done at the fair-grounds themselves.”
The seven members of the fair au-thority are unpaid.
Cronin said the issue had been aconcern for years, and it was time for aserious look. He said he believed a 2013state law giving the board the ability toeliminate 13 local government entitiesextended to the authority. The countyhad previously dissolved a fire protec-tion district in spring 2014.
“We’ve been concerned about thebuildings and the economic viability ofthe fair as it currently exists for sometime now – it all seems to be comingtogether,” he said.
He believed the board could take ac-tion as soon as August after ensuringthe county or association could still re-ceive the state funds.
While he hoped the fair could con-tinue, Formento said he wasn’t sure ifthe Department of Agriculture wouldcontinue its funding because of thestate’s economic problems.
Should that dry up, the fact the as-sociation’s lease was up soon may notmatter as it would be hard to continuethe fair in its current form.
“It would be regrettable to see thefair go away, but like all things thatmay end up being the alternative thatmay be available,” he said.
“We’re the only county in the state that has a fair authority
and a fair association, every other county has a fair
association. So why do we need that extra layer?
We don’t.”

Are we better off with leadershipof Richard Skoda’s in District 86?Before the upcoming District 86 School
Board election, ask yourself, is ourdistrict better off with Richard Skoda?Skoda is board majority president andcandidate for re-election to a fifth term.Over the past two years, scores of val-
ued educators, administrators and staffhave fled District 86. Two more employ-ee groups are unionizing. Noneducationalexpenditures have skyrocketed, includinghefty increases in legal and recruitingfees, payments to a political crony placedin an interim post, printing and mailingfees for misleading flyers and settlementfees for a dismissed lawsuit, to name justa few.Skoda’s contributions don’t end there.
Don’t forget District 86 was the only dis-trict in Illinois to pass a 0 percent taxlevy increase in 2013, costing the district
essential tax revenue needed to main-tain our top-tier high schools. Underthe leadership of Skoda and the currentboard majority, is it any surprise thatwe have a huge deficit forecast for thecurrent fiscal year? Additionally, Skoda’snegotiation team led our schools to thebrink of a strike in fall 2014 when theyrefused to work with teachers and reachcommon ground. In District 86’s 130-yearexistence there has never been a call tostrike. Staff morale remains at an all-timelow.This is the state of our high schools to-
day. Is this why you moved here? Are webetter off with Skoda involved in District86? Resoundingly, no! End the Skoda erain District 86. Vote [for Planson, Carpen-ter and Hirsman] on April 7th.

Sanguinetti, Cronin to leadconsolidation task force
Government consolida-tion, DuPage style, may becoming to counties across thestate.
Gov. Bruce Rauner signedExecutive Order 15-15 to formthe new Local GovernmentConsolidation and UnfundedMandate Task Force headed byWheaton resident and Lt. Gov.Evelyn Pacino Sanguinettiduring a news conference Feb.13 at the DuPage Water Com-mission in Elmhurst.
Rauner called it an “excit-ing step towards turning ourstate around.”
“We need to encourage thestreamlining of local govern-ments and of school districtsto reduce costs and be goodstewards of taxpayer dollars,”he said. “The [task force] willget the conversation startedon how to streamline [and]end duplicative services andimprove efficiency.”
Rauner previously haspraised consolidation effortsin DuPage, most notably inhis State of the State addressFeb. 4.
DuPage County BoardChairman Dan Cronin, whosaid he will play a leadershiprole in the task force, spokeat the news conference, call-ing DuPage a laboratory forconsolidation. The countyprojects more than $100 mil-lion in savings from its Ac-countability, Consolidationand Transparency Initiative,which Cronin started in 2010.
While Cronin said thecounty’s approach to consoli-dation isn’t one size fits all, hebelieves its principles couldbe transferred statewide.
“Imagine the savings ifwe could repeat that successstory in 100 other countiesthroughout Illinois,” Croninsaid.
Rauner said the govern-ment contraction would haveto come without compromis-ing the important serviceslocal districts provide.
The governor’s ordercame just days before he pre-sented his budget proposal tothe General Assembly in theface of massive debt and reve-
nue problems.He said cutting spending
would only play a part in hisefforts to reform Illinois.
“As I’ve said, we need togrow our way out of our prob-lems,” he said. “We can’tjust cut our way out of ourproblems. Purely cuttingalone without structural, pro-
growth reform won’t get usthere.”
Sanguinetti said the gov-ernor would appoint 15 rep-resentatives from across thestate to the task force in thenext month. The group willlead a study to determinewhich agencies and unfund-ed mandates to recommendthe governor examine.

LA GRANGE – Matt Raf-ferty’s absence hurts HinsdaleCentral’s boys basketball teamin a number of ways, but themost evident for now is scor-ing.
The Red Devils have strug-gled to score without theirinjured senior star. UntilTuesday’s 55-52 win againstDowners Grove North, Centralhad scored less than 50 pointsin four straight games, allwithout Rafferty and all loss-es. In the 18 games Raffertyplayed this season, they failedto score 50 three times and allthree of those were wins.
The fourth game in thelosing streak was a 51-38 lossin front of a full house in LaGrange to rival Lyons Town-ship. The next day the Lionswrapped up the West Subur-ban Silver title.
“Defensively we were good,we played extremely hard, butthe ball wasn’t going in, espe-cially early,” Central coachNick Latorre said. “I was notdisappointed with the shot se-lection. Of course every gameyou’re going to be disappoint-ed in a few of them, but I wouldsay for the most part we gotquality looks, we got secondchance opportunities, we gotsome offensive rebounds, butthey weren’t falling.”
The Red Devils fell behind13-2 to start the game and aJordan Bradshaw 3-pointer atthe halftime buzzer was theteam’s only points of the sec-ond quarter. An 11-0 run in thethird quarter got Central backin the game, but the Red Devilsgot no closer than three points.
George Kiernan scored agame-high 17 points in the loss.
“I thought every one of ourguys played well,” Latorresaid. “We competed from startto finish. It was a good effort.It’s not easy to play an envi-ronment like that. We’re not
Hinsdale Central’s Jordan Bradshaw goes up for a layup Feb. 13 in road game against Lyons Township. TheRed Devils mounted a comeback from a sluggish first half but lost 51-38.
Hinsdale South learns lessonagainst Oak Park-River Forest
HINSDALE – After a one-year absence from high schoolgymnastics, Hinsdale Southjunior Maddie Nowak is re-turning to the state meet witha different outlook.
“I left state a little disap-pointed my freshman year andI don’t want to do the samething this year,” Nowak said.
Nowak automatically qual-ified for state at Palatine HighSchool in the same four eventsas 2013 with top-five finishes atthe Hinsdale Central section-al Feb. 11. She was second onthe uneven bars (9.5), tied forthird on floor exercise (9.525),and was fourth on vault (9.5)and all-around (37.125).
“She had awesome floor,bars, vault – one of the bestbars routines I’ve seen in awhile, great floor. I’m proudof her,” first-year South coachMia Tritch said.
Last year, Nowak focusedon club gymnastics. In 2013, herhighest state finish was a tie for14th on vault (9.5). This time,Nowak hopes to be among Fri-day’s top-10 preliminary scoresand reach Saturday’s eventfinals. Her sectional score onuneven bars ranks fifth.
“I feel like there’s no pres-sure, just go all out and hope-fully there will be positive re-sults,” Nowak said.
Hinsdale CentralHinsdale Central’s Brigid
Cultra came to high schoolgymnastics this season as asenior with the potential ofreaching the state meet.
Then she aggravated a heel
injury, was out for a week withmononucleosis and re-injuredthe heel just before the post-season.
Cultra persevered andreached state on the unevenbars (9.125) and floor (9.4) as anat-large individual qualifier atthe Hinsdale Central sectional.
“I knew I could make it ifI did the routines that I had,”Cultra said. “I tried to keep upwith the routines I had beforeI got sick so I was able to makeit.
“Bars is my favorite eventso I’m really glad to competethat. To make it to state is real-ly cool. It’s going to be my first
state experience – and last.”Both of Cultra’s scores were
.025 above the at-large statecuts.
“I just want to have fun,make my routines, do the bestI can,” Cultra said.
“I’m excited for her witheverything happening, beingsick and injured. It’s reallynice to have something posi-tive happen for her,” HinsdaleCentral coach Kim Estoquesaid.
Hinsdale Central finishedfourth (138.80) with a lineupof Cultra, four-year varsitysenior Maddie Sesemann andfour freshmen.
Hinsdale South’s Maddie Nowak competes on uneven bars Feb. 11 at
the Hinsdale Central sectional meet. The junior qualified for the state
meet in four events.
Red Devils girls hoops heading to regionalSUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA
BERWYN – Hinsdale Cen-tral’s girls basketball teamtopped host Morton 66-55 onWednesday and moved into aClass 4A regional champion-ship game. The Red Devils willsquare off against Proviso Eastfor the title at 4 p.m. Saturdayat Morton.
Gabrielle Rush led the waywith 24 points. Riley Burr (14points), Payton Katich (11)
DOWNERS GROVE – MattAllen had the easiest champi-onship match Saturday at theDowners Grove North wres-tling sectional.
The Hinsdale Central ju-nior didn’t even need to takethe mat as Downers GroveNorth’s E.J. Phillips default-ed in the 285-pound titlematch. Allen watched the 220championship bout beforestriding atop the medal standto claim the top prize.
It was Allen’s first sec-tional title, but he shruggedoff the accomplishment as hehas his sights set squarely onthe state tournament, whichstarted Thursday and con-cludes Saturday.
“It’s a pretty nice feel-ing, but I can’t celebrate toomuch,” Allen said. “I have tostay on track and hopefully bea state champion this year.”
Allen was a state qualifi-er at 220 last year and will betrying for his first state medalthis season. Having state tour-ney experience is a benefit.
“It calms my nerves a littlebit,” Allen said. “Last year Iwas really hyped up, and nowI know what it’s about.”
Senior Juwan Edmondstumbled with a 6-5 semifi-nal loss at 152, but won twomatches in decisive fashion(by fall and 18-7 decision)for a third-place finish. Heis a four-time state qualifi-er going for his fourth statemedal and first title, and thelessons learned from earlierstate meets should help himtoward that goal.
“I gotta work a lot harderand I gotta have fun,” Ed-mond said. “I always do bet-ter when I have fun.”
Liam Drury, Nikola Ivan-isevic, James Manikas andMatt Price also wrestled atthe sectional for Central, butjust missed out on advancingto state.
Hinsdale SouthJosh King learned an
important lesson Saturday,and immediately took it toheart.
Leading comfortably 7-0late in his 220-pound titlematch, the Hinsdale Southjunior was cruising at theDowners Grove North wres-tling sectional.
Then suddenly he wascaught off balance, taken tothe mat and nearly pinnedbefore escaping with a 7-5win.
“In a sport like wrestling,anything can happen,” Kingsaid. “At state, there are nosecond chances. If a shot isthere, then take it becauseyou never know when youmight need the points.”
King not only learned alesson at the sectional, buthas the lessons learned at twoprevious state tournamentsto help him as he aims for hisfirst state medal.
“The arena is huge andloud, and the main thing toprepare for is the competi-tion,” King said. “Everyone’sgood. Everyone earned theirway down there. No matchis easy. If you want a spoton that podium, you have towrestle every match like it’syour last.”
Nick Carlson, DanishQureshi and Robby Reganwere other South sectionalwrestlers who just missed outon state, though Regan willspar with King at state.
“Robby’s still going withus,” South head coach KevinFormanski said. “Josh needsa partner to wrestle downthere, so Robby is going tocome with us.”
