district receives Illinois distinguished accredited agency award Recognition came after 4-year hiatus from accreditation The Bolingbrook Park District was recognized as an Illinois Distinguished Accredited Agency by the Illinois Association of Park Districts and the Illinois Park and Recreation Association. After a four-year hiatus from accreditation, Executive Director Oestreich made the decision to go forward with the process after hearing of updated standards and increasing accountability and reporting requirements in November 2013. “We have other village government entities that are accredited,” said Oestreich. “It was important to us that the Park District is also accredited, demonstrating a strategic direction, strength in our business practices and quality parks and recreation services for the residents of Bolingbrook and our surrounding communities.” The process began with Oestreich applying for consideration through a joint committee of both IAPD/IPRA members. After the application was accepted, Oestreich and his staff were required to complete a Legal Section before being approved for consideration. After being approved, Mike Adams from the Woodridge Park District served as liaison to Oestreich and Administrative Assistant, Beth Benner to move forward in the accreditation process. “I think it adds credibility to our agency,” said Oestreich. “We’re in the top ten percent of park districts in the state of Illinois.” After 15 months of meetings with the Bolingbrook Park District, the final step was to survive an allday, 8-hour audit. The extensive evaluation process covered staff interviews, presenting proper agency documentation and a parks and facility tour. “I’m really proud of the team, “said Oestreich. “The new standards

“The new standards were very different from the 2005 audit. I’m very proud of how far we’ve come. We are committed to make sure that the services that we’re providing are world class,” Oestreich said. were very different from the 2005 audit. I’m very proud of how far we’ve come. We are committed to make sure that the services that we’re providing are world class.” With the score of 479.4268 out of 500, Bolingbrook Park District officially became an Illinois Distinguished Accredited Agency in October 2014. What does this mean for the residents of Bolingbrook? Oestreich said: “Their park district is something special, it stands out not only as a recreation agency, but a highly thought of, award-winning agency. It’s a demonstration of our mission: providing world class parks and recreation services, doing it in a fiscally responsible manner and helping people achieve quality of life. “ The Bolingbrook Park District is a public parks and recreation agency located in Bolingbrook, Illinois. The Bolingbrook Park District operates two community centers, an indoor/ outdoor aquatic park, golf course, banquet hall and restaurant, two fitness centers, two outdoor skate parks, a sports complex, nature center and conservation area, and 48 parks along with their many playgrounds, picnic shelters and over 1087 acres of land.

Beth Hughes, president and CEO of Presence St. Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, has resigned, effective this week. Hughes, also Regional President and CEO, has led Presence St. Joe’s since August 2011. Before that, she served as Chief Operating Officer for the medical center. Her biography on the PSMC website says Hughes came to St. Joe’s after serving as Executive Vice President, Ambulatory Services and Managed Care at Optima Healthcare in Manchester, New Hampshire. She also had been Executive Vice President and COO of the Elliot Health System in Manchester, New Hampshire. Hughes also has served as System Vice President, Ambulatory Services and MSO at Loyola University Health System in Maywood; and Illinois and Senior Vice President of Ambulatory Services and Executive Director for West Suburban Health Providers at West Suburban Hospital Medical Center in Oak Park. While at West Suburban, she also served as Vice President of Physician Services and

“When I learned of the recognition, I was filled with a great sense of pride and yet a humble spirit,” Hughes said in a press release at the time. “All the excellent work and care for our patients is because of so many who give of their time and talents so that we can be the best health system possible.” Administrator of Cardiac Services. She began her career in 1989 as Administrative Resident and later Administrator for Cardiac Programs at Millard Fillmore

Hospital in Buffalo, New York. She is a member of the board of directors for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties and also volunteers in the organization’s new Mentor 2.0 program. She also currently serves on the board of the Will Grundy Free Clinic and United Way Capital Committee. Recently she was named to Becker’s Hospital Review list of “130 women hospital and health system leaders to know.” “When I learned of the recognition, I was filled with a great sense of pride and yet a humble spirit,” Hughes said in a press release at the time. “All the excellent work and care for our patients is because of so many who give of their time and talents so that we can be the best health system possible. Our true reward is superior outcomes for our patients and mindful stewardship of our resources. We are diligent in seeking ways to improve care and manage costs while advancing medicine. And we take our mission of hope and healing very seriously.” Hughes received her Bachelor of Arts in Music from Northwestern University in Evanston and her Master of Hospital and Health Administration from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. She and husband Don have three children.

VVSD reminder: Proper health practices, immunizations combat measles Measles is highly contagious Following reports of the first confirmed case of measles in Illinois, public health officials are urging the public to maintain common sense health practices in their homes and communities. “While no measles cases have been reported in the southwest and south suburbs, it is still very important for VVSD parents to keep an eye out for symptoms that could indicate a child had been exposed to measles,” said Cathy Rigali, VVSD’s Coordinator of Health Services. These symptoms include a fever of 101 or higher, a cough, a runny nose and red eyes. A rash may or may not appear. “Measles is highly contagious and a person with no immunity can become infected simply by being in the same room with someone who has the disease,” said Dr. Rachel Rubin of the Cook County Department of Public Health, who is looking into the reported case in the Arlington Heights/Palatine area. “With only 10 cases reported in Illinois in the past five years, many parents have not yet

Introducing our new weekly column about news heard around Will County Welcome to our new weekly column, “Hot Air.” While that may sound as though we will be offering trifles here, what we mean by Hot Air is HOT Air, that is, wisps of general knowledge culled from many areas of Will County to intrigue, inform and, hopefully, entertain. Weekly contributors from our staff will be listed at the bottom of each edition. We hope you enjoy Hot Air. Feel free to let us know … or to contribute yourself. Don’t worry, we won’t put your name in if you do! But, you never know, you might find it here someday anyway! Here goes … Damned if you do … It’s safe to say Rialto Square Theatre officials took a lot of heat from the community when they unveiled a new marquee to be donated by businessman Ed Czerkies without first clearing it with said community for inspection. Czerkies subsequently pulled his $350,000 donation. So they decided to take the safe course when businessman Jay Bergman offered recently to donate money for a new marquee. They asked if he could possibly wait for a few weeks so the public could get a looksee at the new marquee design. Channeling Elvis, Bergman pretty much responded, “It’s now or never.” Channeling Walter Winchell, Joliet Councilman Jim McFarland several days later issued a press release with the sublime opening, ““News broke today that has refocused the city’s attention back onto the Rialto Square Theater and the heated debate surrounding its historic marquee.” McFarland said in his release

that he spoke to Bergman “and do not understand why his unrestricted offer was declined. … The community cares deeply about this issue and deserves transparency.” That seemed to be what Rialto officials were trying to do. Can you imagine what the public would have said if they accepted another donation for a new marquee without public input? But maybe that was the point of the whole issue. Now there is an ad hoc committee set up to recommend designs to the Rialto board. Let’s hope this does it.

Time Off Attorney John Argoudelis, former Plainfield Township supervisor and a County Board member, will be serving a fivemonth suspension beginning this week in connection with an estate case he handled several years ago. According to the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, Argoudelis received the suspension because, “Despite knowing that his client was not, as the client claimed to be, the sole heir of an estate, Mr. Argoudelis repeatedly represented to the probate court

that the client was the sole heir.” An ARDC spokesman said five months is pretty significant, but a six-month suspension could have put Argoudelis out of business for good. As a side note, after Argoudelis appealed the initial three-month suspension, an ARDC panel hiked it to five.

New Year, New Job Ray Semplinski, former Chief Building Official for the Will County Land Use Department, has moved over to the county’s Highway Department.

Condolences … To former Will County Board members Walt Adamic of Joliet on the recent loss of his mother Barbara, and Lee Ann Goodson of Plainfield on the loss of her brother, David Neal, 51, of Kansas City, following complications from a courageous battle with cancer.

55 and 80, two cross-country routes, and you can see there is a lot of opportunity for national and regional traffic coming through here from each direction. Focus the map closer to the Chicago region, and you can see that crosscountry traffic mixing with more local traffic – a lot of it – cars, trucks and every other type of vehicle allowed as you get near Will County’s warehouses and intermodals. And then focus in on 80 and 55, as well as the state routes around it. We need help. A Houbolt Road bridge from I-80 into the intermodals definitely would, especially since Walter Strawn Drive now is closed due to safety concerns. But it’s barely on IDOT’s radar right now. IDOT’s new director, Randy Blankenhorn, used to be executive director for the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, the group that decides which transportation projects in the region should be on the federal funding list. At an October 2013 meeting to consider such for the Illiana, Blankenhorn said: “A truck bypass does not create jobs,” Randy Blankenhorn, executive director for CMAP, bloviated at the meeting. “I don’t feel [the Illiana project] is what that region, which does need economic development, needs.” It will be interesting to see if Director Blankenhorn takes a broader view of the Illiana project than he did as Executive Director Blankenhorn. His job changed, but we still are stuck with the same old, dangerous traffic problems.

Sign of a

good team Raiders adjust; overcome hot shooting to beat Sandburg

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

As a young child, one of the first things you are taught by your parents is to share. That is the same message that Bolingbrook boys basketball coach Rob Brost is teaching to the Raiders. “When we share, we are pretty hard to beat,” Brost said. “When we don’t share we can be not very good.” That was the difference Thursday night when the Raiders overcame being down several times to defeat Sandburg 65-62 in SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division play. “I was really disappointed with how we played in the first half,” Brost said. “We played selfish basketball and it showed on the scoreboard. In the first half we had two assists and we had 12 assists in the second half and that is the difference in the basketball game.” Sandburg lived by the three-

pointer early in the contest and hit some late, but for most of the second half, Bolingbrook (12-5) was able to force it out of its rhythm. “They can really shoot it, we knew that coming in. We really wanted to run them off the line and make them put the ball on the floor. We made the adjustments and we actually executed them.” Brost was happy with the way the Raiders battled the entire second half. “I am proud of our guys,” Brost said. “We played all the way back to where we tied it and then they hit some more threes and got up nine again and to our credit, we continued to fight and play the right way and that is what I am most proud of because we could have easily gone the other way.” The players took to the coaching staff ’s message at the break. “In the first half, we were

LEWIS > basketball

Lewis men’s hoops upsets No. 1 ranked Indianapolis Flyers’ women’s team remains the top team in the nation with win over UIndy The Lewis University men’s basketball team used a 13-3 second half run and shot 57.1% (16-for-28) from the field over the final 20 minutes, as the Flyers upset No. 1 ranked University of Indianapolis at Neil Carey Arena on Saturday (Jan. 31) afternoon. The win is Lewis’ first over No. 1 team since the Flyers defeated top-ranked Southern Indiana, 82-77, on January 2, 2004 in Evansville, Ind. “This is a huge confidence builder for us,” Lewis head men’s basketball coach Scott Trost said. “We’ve lost some really close games (this year) and when you do that, I think your confidence wavers. “I’m proud of our kids and how they’ve responded,” Trost continued. “Hopefully we can use this, build on it and keep moving forward.” Lewis senior Jeff Jarosz (Lyons, Ill./Morton) led all scorers with 16 points, including a team-best five assists, followed by 11 points and five assists from senior guard Ryan Jackson (Bolingbrook, Ill./

Riverside-Brookfield). Flyer reserve forward David Niggins (Naperville, Ill./Naperville Central) added 10 points and a pair of three-pointers in the victory. With the win, Lewis improves to 14-6 overall and 6-5 in GLVC action, while the Greyhounds drop to 17-2 on the campaign and 9-2 in conference play. UIndy senior forwards Brennan McElroy and Joe Lawson (10 rebounds) each scored 13 points to lead the Greyhounds, followed by 10 points from Jordan Loyd. The Greyhounds held a 51-47 lead over the Flyers following a three-pointer by Kendall Vieke (9 points) with 8:05 remaining in the contest. The Flyers responded with a 13-3 run, led by six points from senior guard Gabe Williams (Chicago, Ill./Farragut) to take a 60-54 lead with 4:54 left on the clock. Williams finished with nine points on the afternoon. UIndy would narrow that gap to 60-57 on the following possession, as Loyd converted a three-point play with 4:14 left in

the contest. Jackson, however, answered with a three-point play of his own to extend the Flyers’ lead to 63-57 and UIndy would come no closer. The Flyers enjoyed a 28-16 advantage over UIndy in points in the point and the Lewis reserves, led by Niggins, outscored the Greyhounds, 24-9. Lewis returns to action on Thursday (Feb. 5), as they head to Liberty, Mo., to battle with William Jewell for a 7:30 PM tip-off.

WOMEN’S HOOPS In front of 1,019 fans, the largest crowd of the season, No. 1 Lewis women’s basketball kept their perfect record in tact with an 8573 victory over Indianapolis on Saturday (Jan. 31) afternoon at Neil Carey Arena. The Flyers led 44-36 at the break thanks to considerable foul trouble for the visiting Greyhounds. Indianapolis finished the first 20 minutes with five players committing two or more fouls. Two Greyhounds eventually fouled out. The Flyers finished the game with three players holding four fouls.

Valley View trio battles at state tournament By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

O’FALLON — The bowling season came to an end a day early for the Valley View contingent. Bolingbrook’s Steve Stropkovic and Matt Strzechowski and Romeoville’s Cody Surges came up short in their bids to make finals Friday at St. Clair Bowl in O’Fallon. Stropkovic was the closest to advancing after shooting a 1,190 six-game series to place 79th. His morning series of 639, including a 264 game, put him in contention to make the cut, but a 143 final game cost him a finals berth. “They got really ugly the last game,” Stropkovic said of the lanes. “I was just trying to see what works and what doesn’t. It took me until the very end of the game to do that.” Besides the last game, it was a consistent performance for Stropkovic, who adjusted to being an individual qualifier. “It was very nice,” Stropkovic said. “I was able to stay consistent the whole day. Being an individual was different because you are on your own, but there wasn’t as much pressure as I thought. I only got nervous the last game because I was bowling bad.” Stropkovic has already witnessed the state meet twice in his career and still has two more shots to make finals. “I really hoped I made it (to finals), but I still have two more years,” Stropkovic said. “It was another year to learn and see what happens. I’m pretty satisfied with how I did.” Strzechowski was in even better shape after the morning, shooting a 649, but couldn’t break 200 in the afternoon and shot a 1,174. “It was a repeat of last year,” Strzechowski said. “The lanes dried up a lot. I figured the lanes would be how they were at practice yesterday and they were in the first half. I threw a good ball and executed my shots. The second half I just fell apart.” The difference from last year for Strzechowski was not having a whole team there to support him. “Last year I had more motivation as a team and had people cheering for me,” Strzechowski said. “This

“It was very nice,” Stropkovic said. “I was able to stay consistent the whole day. Being an individual was different because you are on your own, but there wasn’t as much pressure as I thought. I only got nervous the last game because I was bowling bad.” year I was there by myself, with just Steve, and you have to focus on yourself. You don’t have many people to pick you up.” Despite coming up short, it was still a successful career for the senior. “It is a great feeling, going to state twice,” Strzechowski said. “it is good to look back on. I’m glad I got the experience. It was a lot of fun. I’m happy I made it.” After a pair of 194s, Surges

vaulted up the leaderboard with a 266 for a 654 morning series. But, playing with the Bolingbrook duo, couldn’t get it going in the afternoon and finished with a 1,152 total. “The second half I just couldn’t stay consistent and hit my shots,” Surges said. “It was bad.” Surges found added fuel in the third game from a bowler bowling on his pair. “I was trying to keep up with Russell (Deer of Bremen) because me and him were on a good run,” Surges said of the 266. “I ended up bowling a big game. But I could get nothing going the second half.” It was the end of Surges’ career as well, which included an individual SPC championship this year. “It felt good to come here, but it sucks that it was my last year and I can’t try again next year,” Surges said. “The atmosphere was nice and the lanes weren’t bad, I just couldn’t hit my shot.”

12 lewis | from page 10 Lewis quickly stretched their eight-point halftime lead to 12 points at 53-41 three minutes into the second half. The Greyhounds responded, however, and scored the next seven points to make it a five-point game. While the Flyers never trailed in the second half, it was close throughout most of the final 20 minutes. The closest Indianapolis advanced was to two points at the 65-63 with 6:13 remaining. Junior Alyssa Siwek (Palos Heights, Ill./ Mother McAuley) followed with a 3-pointer for Lewis on the next possession. Her shot started a 14-6 stretch for Lewis over the next four minutes. The push put the contest away. Senior Kristin Itschner (Metamora, Ill./Peoria Notre Dame) had two free throw

Junior Mariyah Brawner-Henley (Skokie, Ill./Niles North) recorded 22 points. Fellow junior Jamie Johnson (South Holland, Ill./ Marian Catholic) also had 22 points while adding seven assists. “We had some different players step up today including Kristin with some big shots,” Lewis head coach Lisa Carlsen said. “We’re going to see close games like this and it was good to close this one out.” Senior Nikki Nellen (New Berlin, Wis./Pius XI) picked up five assists to bring her career total to 450. She now ranks second all-time in Lewis history in assists. She is 50 short of Brittney Diener (2003-

Junior Bobby Walsh (Chicago, Ill./Mount Carmel) notched eight blocks (one solo) and five kills in No. 3 Lewis men’s volleyball’s 3-0 (25-18, 25-17, 25-13) victory over the Sacred Heart Pioneers on Saturday (Jan. 31) evening at Neil Carey Arena. The Flyers never trailed in set one with Walsh recording a kill for point 25. Sacred Heart put the biggest scare into the Flyers in the second

set. They recorded two or more points four times in the frame to take an 11-9 advantage. The lead didn’t last long. Senior Greg Petty (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove North) went back to serve and he recorded three aces in a 5-0 run. Even a Pioneers timeout in the middle of the run couldn’t slow down Petty. The third set was highlighted by another service run. Already up 17-12, Lewis inserted junior Patrick Lilly (East Northport, N.Y./ Commack) to serve. He had three consecutive aces in a 7-0 push to all but end the match. Petty and Lilly helped Lewis record eight aces while committing only 10 service errors. Lewis out-hit Sacred Heart .377 to .029. Junior setter Scott Fifer (Orland Park, Ill./Sandburg)

dished out 27 assists. Senior Eric Fitterer (Edwardsville, Ill./ Edwardsville) had a match-high 11 kills. “From a blocking standpoint it was awesome to see us get dialed in on their offense and get some great touches and put some stuff on the other side,” Lewis head coach Dan Friend said. “Overall it was a real balanced game from the guys and it’s good to see going into next weekend to open up conference play.” Lewis improves to 8-1. Sacred Heart falls to 1-4. Lewis hits the road next weekend to open Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association competition. The Flyers play a pair of contests at Grand Canyon with the first set for Friday (Feb. 6).

double digits, as Brodric Thomas scored 12, Prentiss Nixon had 11 and Dimitri Akenten chipped in 10. The players and the coaches are happy with the direction the Raiders are headed as they enter the second half of the SWSC season. Bolingbrook

attempted to avenge its loss to Joliet Central on Tuesday. “We are growing and we are doing some good things,” Torres said. “Our chemistry is getting better and better every day.” Brost said although the win over the Eagles wasn’t a pretty

one, it was a win that shows how far Bolingbrook has come so far this season. “One of the signs of a good team is when you don’t play your best and you come away with a win and that is what happened here tonight,” Brost said.

Fountaindale Library offers technology classes Thanks to grant, library offers computer guidance to aid those in need By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

Thanks to a grant-sponsored program and the efforts of the FountaindalePublicLibrary,barriers to employment and advancement are being vastly reduced for those who simply hold a library card, opening new worlds for many. The Fountaindale Public Library District saw a need and when the opportunity for a grant arose, the district seized the chance, creating a program it hoped could change

lives. “Passport to Success,” a program for district patrons, kicked off Oct. 1 and is tailored to specifically challenge, or “Eliminate the Digital Divide” that keeps someone from effectively attaining computer skills. The Eliminate the Digital Divide grant was written in hopes to specifically support basic training programs to increase digital literacy. Since its start, more than 250 people have enrolled so far with an additional 600 people taking classes through the Studio 300 program

list. “We are delighted to offer this program to the public, and are proud to have designed a program that really works for a wide array of learners, is offered in two languages, and can be tailored to each participant,” said Deputy Director Catherine Yanikoski. “We have seen this program make a huge impact and increase the public’s awareness of the resources available to them with a library card. This grant program has made it possible for people to graduate with a high school diploma, prepare for a business interview, learn skills they need on the job, take classes of all types in Spanish, learn digital skills for fun and meet new people. What a success!” In fact, she said, libraries across the country have called and asked how the district is doing what it is and if they can borrow ideas for their own communities. The Passport to Success program offers four unique tracks to meet the needs of different groups in the community and includes the Community Track, introducing patrons to personal computer technology and software, a new wave of social media, e-reading devices, and free online classes. The Español Passport provides many new classes for patrons who prefer or need Spanish-language technology

classes. The Business Passport, and the most popular, is the first step to learning and enhancing business skills and career ambitions. This track is described for those that want to break into a new career or to make a move into the job market, and offers resume writing, job searching, and LinkedIn classes to give patrons the connections and inspiration to follow their dreams. The program also offers the Diploma Track which is available to patrons 19 years or older. Once patrons complete the Diploma track they will have the opportunity to apply for one of the 75 grant funded scholarships for the high school diplomas. Yanikoski reported that many are progressing through Fountaindale’s Diploma Passport track to earn a chance for a Career Online High School scholarship. “ People are amazed that the Passport to Success grant has made it possible for the library to offer scholarships for interested residents to earn an accredited online high school diploma at no cost (a value of nearly $1300),” said Yanikoski. “Those who have been awarded a new laptop, have earned flash drives, or have won our monthly drawing prizes have been very appreciative. Businesses have expressed a strong interest in enrolling their employees in the program and to

provide professional development opportunities so close to home, at no cost.” Yanikoski said the library is using the resources it already has in place, like the vast technology equipment in Studio 300 and the numerous classes they currently offer, and are bringing it all together to complement the Passport to Success Program developed with grant funds. Studio 300 has been co-offering Passport classes which have been attended by more than 600 registrants, one third of which has come from Studio 300 programs. Studio 300 and Adult and Teen Services also work hard to promote the online learning resources that can count towards credits (classes) on the Passport track, such as Lynda. com, Gale Courses, Universal Class, Mango Languages and Brainfuse. Studio 300 and Adult and Teen Services co-hosted the first Passport to Success University initiative held Jan. 10, which was a full day of classes and Passport promotion. Another initiative is being planned for April. Fountaindale continues to seek increased enrollment in all four Passport tracks (Business, Community/General, Español and Diploma) and encourages district

The district intends on having all 75 high school diploma scholarships awarded this year and are seeking opportunities to help promote the grant to local organizations and businesses who will help the library get the word out about this limited time offering of high school diploma seats and its on- site and distance learning opportunities. Those that complete the Passport will qualify to enter in a drawing to win one of several new laptops and other monthly drawings of technology tools, and all participants will earn a flash drive halfway through the program. Fountaindale is the first Illinois library to partner with Gale/Cengage Learning to provide access to Career Online High School, an accredited

online high school program. A completed Passport to Success packet will earn each participant a Certificate of Completion, a ticket towards a drawing for a brand new laptop, and the opportunity to earn one of the diplomas while available. Others prizes also will be available. In order to get started, patrons 18

years and older can simply visit the library and pick up their passport packets.The Passport program lasts through June 30, 2015. A listing of all classes and programs will soon be posted to the district’s website at www.fountiandale.org. If you have immediate questions about the program, call 630-685-4216.

What every parent needs to know about children’s heart health Pediatric cardiomyopathy is a potentially life-threatening disease (StatePoint) When thinking of heart disease, older adults typically come to mind, but children also can have heart disease, often with more devastating outcomes. Pediatric cardiomyopathy is a potentially lifethreatening disease and the leading cause of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in children. Cardiomyopathy is a chronic disease of the heart muscle that affects the heart ability to pump blood. Some children who have the disease can be symptom-free and are unknowingly at risk for SCA. Approximately 2,000 people under 25 die of SCA every year according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but there are preventative measures for families. In many cases, if cardiomyopathy is detected early and managed properly, sudden cardiac death can be prevented, says Lisa Yue, a parent who lost two children

to cardiomyopathy and founder of the Children Cardiomyopathy Foundation (CCF). The Foundation is working to call attention to the disease. Knowing the symptoms and risk factors for cardiomyopathy can help save lives.

Know the Symptoms Currently there is no formal cardiac screening process for children. While pediatricians can respond to more obvious symptoms, identifying pediatric cardiomyopathy can be challenging because some affected children are symptom-free. It is not uncommon for cardiomyopathy to be missed or misdiagnosed as a cold, flu or asthma. Symptoms include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, fainting, chest pain, dizziness, heart palpitations and fatigue. Infants may experience poor weight gain,

difficulty breathing, excessive sweating or lethargy. It is important for parents to communicate concerns to the pediatrician.

Know the Risk Factors Cardiomyopathy can occur in any child and be inherited or acquired through a viral infection or from cancer chemotherapy,‚Äù explains Steven Lipshultz, M.D., pediatrician-in-chief of Children Hospital of Michigan and chair of CCF medical advisory board. Since the majority of cardiomyopathies are inherited, understanding a family cardiac history is the best way to prevent

premature death. Hereditary risk factors include having a family member who is disabled by heart disease, has died of heart disease before age 50, or was diagnosed with Long QT syndrome, cardiomyopathy, Marfan syndrome or a heart rhythm issue. Family members who exhibit symptoms such as chest pain, discomfort upon exertion, fatigue, fainting or high blood pressure should be evaluated by a cardiologist.

Protecting At-Risk Young Athletes Adolescents with an underlying heart condition like cardiomyopathy

are at a higher risk for SCA due to increased physical activity and certain body changes. SCA is the top cause of death on school property, and according to the American Heart Association these deaths occur most commonly in highintensity sports. To help keep young athletes safe, Senator Robert Menendez, Representatives Lois Capps and Bill Pascrell, Children Cardiomyopathy Foundation and the National Athletic Trainers Association introduced the Supporting Athletes, Families, and Educators to Protect the Lives of Athletic Youth (SAFE PLAY) Act, with provisions to protect student athletes from SCA.
