New medical center coming to Romeoville Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center to provide healthcare for seniors, families

Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center (PSJMC) is bringing a unique center to Romeoville that will be dedicated to delivering a healthcare experience for seniors, while providing access to advanced imaging, lab and immediate care for area families. The Presence Senior Health Pavilion and Family Immediate Care Center is set to be a 30,000 square-foot outpatient medical facility designed to provide an unparalleled patient experience customized to seniors, their busy caregivers and families in the greater Romeoville community. The Pavilion represents an $11 million investment by Presence Health in the Romeoville community and is scheduled to open in December 2015 on Weber Road and Airport Road. The project is being built in partnership with Hammes Company. The Pavilion will be home to the region’s only fellowship-trained, board-certified Geriatricians, Marc Kantar, MD, and Bhavesh Gandhi, MD, along with Geriatric Nurse Practitioners and a team of rotating specialists dedicated to treating the elder population, including urologists, orthopedists and podiatrists. “We have compiled the area’s top specialists for seniors and

The Pavilion will also help senior patients simplify and navigate the complexities of healthcare through wellness activities specially designed for seniors, medical resources for patients and caregivers, and community education events. A senior fitness center is also planned for the space.

“When it comes to great healthcare, seniors and families in Romeoville deserve great options,” said Mayor John Noak. “We are excited and honored to share in Saint Joe’s passion for this project that will provide an ideal setting for healthcare delivery for our senior population in the region.” The idea for The Senior Center grew from numerous discussions about improving the patient experience and focus groups addressing the specific needs of seniors. Last year, PSJMC unveiled their Acute Care for the Elderly (ACE) Unit, which offers geriatricfocused care for inpatients at the Medical Center by specially trained and certified staff. “In a way, this center is an addition of the ACE unit,” says Hughes. “It is a place where seniors can trust that their unique medical needs and concerns will be fully addressed.”

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.

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.

Marin, Smith

a potent duo Underclassmen key to Spartans’ attack, future

By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

For three years Romeoville had a point guard and post combination with Abby Smith and Kiera Currie. That combination led to a thrilling three-year stretch with three conference titles and a regional championship. Now the Spartans have another point guard and post combination who could be together for three years. Sophomore point guard Lexi Marin and freshman post Jahari Smith are hoping to have similar success to their predecessors. “This is my best friend right here. This is my post player,” Marin said. “We work really well together. She catches my passes. We read each other and work well together. I think by my senior year and her junior year, we’re going to be unstoppable. Our big goal is to win a regional championship.” “It is nice they are meshing and it started in the summer,” Romeoville coach Julio Carrasco said. “Lexi can be a very good passer. She is a scorer, but we’re trying to get her to see more of the floor, which she is. It is nice to have a tall player down low that you can float it up to and it helps when she attacks. The future for them is very bright.”

The two have already found success in their first year together and the chemistry is noticeable. “We have this thing where we look at each other and we know what we want,” Marin said. “I’ll look at her and she knows to do a screen-roll. If I don’t have it I will pass to her.” “They definitely have meshed,” Carrasco said. “Lexi just gives a quick nod and that is where the lob happens. They see each other.” In Smith’s first year, it is good to have a facilitator to get her the ball in good positions. “It is nice to have a point guard who can run the team,” Smith said. “It has made the transition a lot easier for me as a freshman. It helps me.” It has helped her in her transition to a different level of basketball than she is used to. “It is way tougher,” Smith said. “You would think it would be like AAU but it is different. The defense is tough. It is not quite as fast.” So far, both girls are happy with the progress they have made, but know there is more work ahead of them. “I think my shot has gotten better,” Marin said. “I’m pushing myself more and my defense has gotten better. I’m giving more hustle and everything. I want to

I’ve gotten better. “I want to be able to finish more. And maybe get some handles, too. I want to get some drives.” Carrasco likes what he sees from his young players and knows the future looks bright with them on the court, surrounded by several other underclassmen. “We are working on getting Lexi more assists as a point guard,” Carrasco said. “We want her to get five assists and five steals and 12-15 points. Jahari, the hope is getting her to average 15-18 points. She has to finish and she brought it up. She misses some easy ones, but it is all physicality right now. She is getting pushed around a little bit. We have her in weights and it is going to help her. We’re going to keep pushing in the spring and fall and get her a lot stronger where she doesn’t get pushed around. She is going to get there.”

Surges finishes career at state 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. 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 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.”

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 life-threatening 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

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 high-intensity 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. For more information For more information about cardiomyopathy, visit www. childrenscardiomyopathy.org. Whether children are at home, in school or on the sports field, it is important for parents to understand the symptoms and risk factors of the disease.

Nanotechnology is no small matter Every day tons of particles are mixed and packed at Nanophase Technologies Corp. By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

Nestled in one of Romeovilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial parks, is a business doing research and innovation rivaled in other parts of the world, and one attracting the best of the tech researchers from the area. Every day tons of particles are mixed and packed at Nanophase Technologies Corp. in the Marquette Business Park to companies ready to distribute to sunscreen

manufacturing companies, additives used in lotion developed to offer transparent protection from UVA and UVB rays. Off in tech labs, researchers are on the cusp of development for the means to a better, more energyefficient alkaline battery. And still other ideas sit in the hands of scientists at the $10 million, publicly-traded Romeoville company, too proprietary to tell publicly in the world of nanotechnology. A number of companies along the I55 corridor are emerging in the field of innovative technology and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no accident. Romeoville Mayor John Noak said there are a number of start-

We help foster that growth between universities and companies,” said Noak. “Nanophase is a sterling example of the new workplaces which have emerged in northern Will County. These high-tech firms hire local talent,” said state Sen. Pat McGuire. “They value our transportation network. Their employees prefer the quality of life in our communities and our proximity to Chicago.” Nanotechnology is described as a field of research and innovation concerned with making things smaller and more efficient, on the scale of atoms and molecules. A nanometre is one-billionth of a meter: 10 times the diameter of a hydrogen atom. The diameter of a human hair is, on average, 80,000 nanometres. At such scales, the ordinary rules of physics and chemistry no longer apply. For instance, materials’ characteristics, such as their color, strength, conductivity and reactivity, can differ substantially between the nanoscale and the macro. Carbon “nanotubes” are 100 times stronger than steel but six times lighter, research indicates. Nanotechnology is hailed as having the potential to increase the efficiency of energy consumption, help clean the environment, and solve major health problems. Jess Jankowski, president and CEO, of Nanophase, said while not exactly the sexy part of nanotechnology, Nanophase earns its bread and butter in the category of personal care, marketing its engineered zinc oxide.The company provides the additive in sunscreen that protects from harmful effects of ultra-violet rays. In terms of its surest growth, Jankowski said, work in its surface finishing technologies can double its growth in that category. The company maintains a polishing lab that works to create the purist and clearest lens for materials used in measuring materials and data. Their biggest customers are engineers and scientists who want the clearest of glass to measure their data, crucial to a project. For the battery work, a large battery manufacturer is in the process of testing the product and commercialization is in the process for 2015, expecting a large profitable

Advanced manufacturing has seen an evolution in the sub corridor of I-55 over the last few years. From Nanophase, who has been here for 25 years to companies like Advanced Diamond Technologies who uses the superlative properties of nature’s perfect material by turning natural gas into diamond in a highly controlled, reproducible process for a variety of industrial, electronic and medical applications. Still others like International Titanium Powder and EPIR Technologies in Bolingbrook, dealing in infrared imaging technology and photovoltaic cells, companies with international clout and cutting-edge research, are making their home in Will County. “There really is a hot bed of activity quietly going on in our region,” said Noak. He said companies are attracted to Romeoville for a combination of factors including its infrastructure, relatively modern facilities, and reliable power. McGuire said he makes it point to visit these companies to find out “if state government hobbles them and how state government could help them. As we lose our smokestack industries and middle-class jobs, we’ve got to make the most of Will County’s advantages so our new employers invest, hire and stay.” In fact, Noak said the village -- along with Joliet, Will County, Lockport and Rockdale -- are working to reauthorize the Des Plaines Enterprise Zone, promoting the concept of advanced manufacturing, looking for ways to use that area designated for manufacturing and capital investment. The zone works to establish a business incubator program in conjunction with local universities and research institutes. The idea behind the move is that this will create and manage an incubator, select innovative business concepts that can be transformed into viable businesses.
