Mather LifeWays honors first responders

Elmhurst-based company held a luncheon in Morton Grove to honor local first responders On July 12, Mather LifeWays, an Evanston based 75-plus-year old not for profit organization that is dedicated to helping older adults age well, celebrated local heroes at a luncheon at the American Legion Memorial Civic Center, in Morton Grove.

Roughly 70 Morton Grove residents and a dozen first-responders from the Police and Fire Departments were in attendance. In addition to lunch, there was live music and a raffle drawing.

The event is part of monthly series called “More Than a Luncheon” that Mather LifeWays hosts, which are designed to help older adults age in place, by bringing interesting community-based events and programming to locations other than those where the organization has its many awardwinning communities in Evanston, Wilmette, Tucson, Arizona and the newest property, which was just announced in Tysons Corner, Virginia.

The public is always invited to attend, and can find more information at https://www.matherlifeways.com/ neighborhood-programs/mortongrove.

Among those attending from the Fire Department were Chief Frank Rodgers, Fire Prevention Coordinator Rick Dobrowski, Acting Lt Tom Goodwin, FF Mike Arcangeletti, FF John Abbatiello, FF/P Erik Miller and FF/P Milan Tomic. Those attending from the Morton Grove Police Department included, Deputy Chief Brian Fennelly, Community Liaison Officer Gina Lietz, Police Officer Nicholas Hoffman, Police Officer Marcelo Perez, and Deputy Chief Mike Weitzel.

Mather LifeWays Director of Programs Without Walls, Kat Paz, shared remarks about the First Responders, including all of the members of the Fire Department have been cross trained as Firefighters, Paramedics, and Hazardous Materials Ops and Engineers. Many members have gone above and beyond with additional training such as Haz Mat Technicians and Technical Rescue members including high-angle, trench, and confined spaces. Morton Grove is a career department with 40 sworn firefighters and 3 staff personnel to provide life safety and protecting the property of the Morton Grove residents as well as surrounding communities.

The Fire Department is a member of the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System, which joins forces with other departments to provide aid to effected areas

For example: The Morton Grove Fire Department deployed two Lieutenants with swift water training as part of the Urban Search and Rescue Team to assist in the life saving efforts for victims in North Carolina from the effects of Hurricane Florence. Many members of the department have competed at a world-wide firefighters completion known as the Combat Challenge. One MGFD member has won the first place title in the world finals and a five-member team over the age of 40 from the MGFD took second in world finals in the relay team competition. The fire department is proactive in providing fire prevention education for children in Morton Grove and fire safety inspections for the citizens and businesses in Morton Grove.

Paz shared that the members of the Police Department are dedicated professionals who provide exceptional service to the citizens of Morton Grove.

The 75 sworn and civilian members of the Department are committed to providing responsive and professional police service and to maintaining the safest possible environment to preserve Morton Grove’s status as a great place to live and work.

The Department is accredited through the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program, and conducts its operations in accordance with the best practices of the law enforcement industry.

The Department has numerous innovative programs to engage with the community, such as a Citizen’s Police Academy, the LEAD the Way Program, Block Watch programs, and National Night Out. The Department often receives public recognition for its outstanding delivery of services, most recently being named winners of the statewide Illinois Traffic Safety Challenge.

Plainfield Central’s Lindish is 2019 Voyager Media Charlie Donovan Baseball Player of the Year

BY MARK GREGORY Editorial Director

@Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com For a Plainfield Central team that finished one game away from advancing to the state finals, it was senior first baseman Jac Lindish that led the way all season.

Lindish led the team in hits (38), RBI (32) and home runs (5) and tied for team-high with seven doubles, while posting a .392 batting average and an OPS of 1.097.

“He can flat out hit,” Central coach John Rosner. “He has such an ability to drive the baseball and hit for average and power at the same time, its like nobody I have coached before. He is special and he deserves everything he gets.”

What he earned this season was the honor of being named the 2019 Voyager Media Charlie Donovan Baseball Player of the Year.

The award is named for the former Westmont standout who was a three-time Voyager Media Player of the Year and died in November of 2015.

Lindish led the Wildcats on a run that saw them beat Oswego 8-7 and Naperville Central 10-7 in the regional round.

In the sectional, Central defeated rival Plainfield South 6-3 and Neuqua Valley 11-4 in the sectional.

“These are all my brothers and coming out every day, it was fun.

We were just feeding off each other. We played for each other all year and we were closer than any group

you will ever see on a baseball field,” Lindish said. “It is all the behind the scenes work that no one sees every winter and every fall.

Putting in the work in the weight room, getting faster, getting stronger — no one out works me and I am glad it paid off this season.

“Baseball evens out short term and long term and you just have to stay consistent through the adversity. Coming to the park every day wanting to play and enjoying being around everyone, stuff just starts to fall your way and I just fed off everyone in the dugout.”

Lindish will be one of the seniors leaving the Central roster that has worked the program to a supersectional contender.

“He has been No. 3 or No. 4 in our lineup all year for a reason,” Rosner said. “He is such a great kid. He has been fantastic for two years. I couldn’t ask for anything more and we are going to miss him.”

Lindish will attend St. Louis University in the fall and major in physical therapy, but has no plans to play baseball for the Billikens.

Charlie Bischoff, Plainfield Central Hit .353 with 23 RBI and 18 runs scored on the year. Had 36 overall hits, second only to Lindish.

The rest of the All-Area team is:

DAVE SAYS

Saving should be done together, not apart DEAR DAVE, I’ve never hidden debt from my husband, but I do hide money from him on occasion. I don’t hide it for my personal use, but I have been setting money aside for emergencies without his knowledge.

He’s not terrible with money, and he works very hard, but he always seems to find something to spend it on. We were never able to save much of anything before I started doing this,

but recently I’ve begun to feel bad about doing it.

Can you give me some advice?

PENNY DEAR PENNY, I’m glad you seem to be re-thinking this strategy. I believe in saving up for emergencies and having an emergency fund of three to six months of expenses in place. But deception in any form is never a positive thing in a relationship — especially a marriage.

I know it won’t be easy, but you have to let him know what you’ve been doing. You also need to make sure you tell him in the right way. Even though your intentions may have been good —getting into better financial shape — you’ve deceived him by doing it the way you did.

Make some time for just the two of you. Sit down with him, and let him know what has happened and that you’re sorry for not being completely

honest about it all. Explain that the reason you hid the money was that you didn’t want to speak up about how it was being handled in your marriage.

Ask him to forgive you, and let him know you won’t do it again, but explain, too, how important it is that the two of you work together on saving more, spending less, and getting control of your finances.

Managing money in a marriage is a “we” thing. Decisions should always be made — here’s that word again — together. It means you each have

a vote, and it also means you should stand up and vote “no” if he wants to spend money on something silly when you don’t have your financial house in order.
