In a wide-ranging Q&A, Bart talks about his first days as mayor, his goals for the village and what he loves about Wauconda.
  

   

• Stevenson’s a hit against Mundelein May 14, 2013 12:00 AM
  Despite 3 errors, Stevenson was able to roll by North Suburban Conference Lake Division champion Mundelein 7-1 Tuesday. A steady stream of hits helped. The Patriots tallied 9 hits, thanks to a 3-for-3 effort out of Jimmy Marchese, who got one of his hits to go for a double. Zach Novoselsky drove in 2 runs while going 3-for-4 and Eli Greenspon also finished with 2 RBI. Pitcher Mitchell Goll got the win for Stevenson, which improves to 17-10. He gave up only 1 walk over six innings.
  

   

• Sign of the times at Wauconda: 12-0 May 14, 2013 12:00 AM
  As soon as Wauconda's baseball team finished its undefeated run through the North Suburban Conference Prairie Division, Bulldogs unfurled a splashy, colored banner, compliments of a generous parent. Included on the banner was Wauconda's NSC Prairie record: "12-0" Mind you, the sign was made in the morning — before the Bulldogs' 13-6 win over visiting Antioch on Tuesday. So if Antioch had beaten Wauconda, what would have become of the banner, which would have the Bulldogs' record incorrect? "I don't know," Wauconda coach Bill Sliker said with a laugh. "I guess I would have put it in the basement." Moot point now.

While pitching Antioch to a 5-1 win over host Wauconda in the teams' North Suburban Conference Prairie Division finale, Phillips dusted off her old outfielder skills.

  Slot Mundelein as NSC Lake champs May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
  On Monday in Lincolnshire, Mundelein's Mitch Schulewitz was handed the ball to secure a Lake Division title for the Mustangs. And the UIC-bound right-hander was brilliant, stopping Stevenson on three singles. He needed to be that good. That's because his mound opponent, Iowa-bound Matt Allen, was almost as sharp. Allen at least can tell a story about how his team committed 4 errors in the first inning yet allowed just one runner to score. Mundelein (24-3) clinched North Suburban Conference Lake Division title with a 3-0 win.
