LOMBARD – February came in with a bang this weekend, bringing with it about 19 inches of snow.

While Lombard Public Works crews battled the snow, local schools, including those in elementary school districts 44, 45, 89 and 41 and high school districts 87 and 88, closed for a snow day Monday.

Snow began falling Saturday evening and continued through late Sunday night. Ricky Castro, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Chicago, said the snowfall totals for DuPage County surpassed a foot.

“Some of the high amounts we’re seeing over the two days is 15 to 19 inches,” he said. Winfield had the highest recorded snow in the county at 19.2 inches.

Lombard Public Works operated in 12-hour shifts to battle the snowfall.

As of Monday afternoon, all priority routes on the north and south ends of Lombard had been curbed and salted with some northern streets showing bare pavement.

Castro said the high amount of snow is a result of an “unseasonably high amount of moisture” being carried from the tropics of the Pacific Ocean. That, combined with the fact that the system was slow moving and the weather was cold enough for snow,

According to the National Weather Service, Chicago O’Hare Interna-

tional Airport had 19.3 inches of snow, which set the record for the snowiest day in February. That ranks as the fifth largest snow storm in Chicago’s history.

Castro said the whole system has passed, and there are no signs of additional significant snowfall.

“It doesn’t look like anything significant in the next seven to 10 days, so far,” he said Monday.

of time that parkways will be a little bare,” said Carl Goldsmith, Lombard’s director of public works.

He said they will likely start removing the trees

within the next few weeks.

Goldsmith said the board chose the one-year time period over the other two proposals, which were to remove all of the trees in a two-year period

or a three-year period. The proposal they chose was for a cost of about $233,000 as opposed to $236,000 in two years or $238,000 in three years.

Goldsmith said the board opted for the more cost-effective proposal.

During the next two years, Goldsmith said they will be planting new trees to replace the ash trees. He said the goal is to plant one new tree for every tree that is taken down.

The village plans to put in several different varieties of trees. Residents will be able to view pictures of the trees on the website and select the ones they would like to see on the parkways.

Since the village’s program started in 2010, the ash trees have been removed by both contractors and village employees.

Many trees in the park have been infested with the emerald ash borer and will be removed.

LOMBARD – Residents of the village of Lombard will start to see more ash trees coming down throughout the village on both Lombard Park District and village property.

This week, Homer Tree Service, a contractor hired by the Park District, began removing 220 trees at Madison Meadow Park because of the emerald ash borer. The cost to remove those trees is about $44,000, and it is part of the Park District budget.

The emerald ash borer is a green, invasive beetle native to Asia and Eastern Russia that destroys ash trees.

Paul Friederichs, executive director of the Lombard Park District, said the trees will be replaced with a variety of na-

tive Illinois trees. There were about 1,100 ash trees infected with the emerald ash borer, and the Park District aims to diversify the type of trees in the various parks in order to decrease the impact of insects or disease in the future, Friederichs said.

“Most of the ash trees in the park system are infected,” he said.

The district will need to remove 300 additional trees after the 220 they are starting to remove.

Lombard trustees voted at their last Village Board meeting to remove 1,100 ash trees located on various village parkways in a one-year time period. Originally, there were about 2,700 ash trees in the village when the tree removal program first started in 2010.

LOMBARD – All Lombard Village Board of Trustees seats up for election in April will be uncontested, after two candidates dropped out of their respective races.

District 4 candidate Alan Bennett and District 5 candidate Lori Solyom withdrew their candidacies, leaving Bill Johnston and Robyn M. Pike as the sole candidates for District 4 and District 5, respectively.

Incumbent trustee Michael A. Fugiel also will be running unopposed in District 2.

Solyom announced her decision

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA State Rep. Peter Breen, R-Lombard, announced Monday in a news release he will introduce legislation aimed at banning excessive severance packages at public institutions.

Breen said the legislation will be called the Breuder Rule, after the College of DuPage Board of Trustees approved a $762,000 buyout for President Robert Breuder, who will receive the money when he retires in March 2016.

After retiring, Breuder also will be the namesake of the Homeland Security Education Center. Breen said Breuder deserves for legislation to be named after him instead of a building.

“Too many so-called public servants are getting rich at the expense of the taxpayers, and the Breuder Rule will prevent this going forward,” Breen said in the release.

Breen’s legislation also would forbid community college boards from raising property taxes, tuition or fees after an excessive severance payout, which he defined as anything greater than one year’s salary and benefits.

not to pursue a Village Board seat after State Sen. Chris Nybo, R-Elmhurst, appointed the Lombard Families First founder and longtime Lombard resident to co-chair a district-wide legislative advisory committee in the 24th District.

“In light of the opportunity to work in a district-wide forum affecting state policy, I believe I can serve Lombardians more comprehensively by accepting Sen. Nybo’s invitation,” Solyom said in a news release.

Nybo’s legislative advisory committees assist him by examining issues, providing research and evaluating initiatives to focus on solution-oriented policy, the release stated.

Bennett previously served as a trustee in Elmwood Park for 37 years before moving to Lombard to spend more time with his grandchildren, according to an Elmwood Park news release. He resigned from that position in August 2012.

Former Lombard trustee Peter Breen stepped down from the Village Board’s District 4 seat Dec. 31, 2014, to begin his term as a state representative.

Breen was sworn into office as a village trustee in May 2011. In November, he was elected as state representative for Illinois’ 48th District.

Current District 5 trustee Laura Fitzpatrick did not file for reelection for her seat.

Matt Kissane brings comedic touch to Internet

By RENEE TOMELL Pay attention and you’re likely to catch multi-tasking comedian Matt Kissane of Villa Park pop up in radio bits, TV ads and on his long-running podcast “Live From Chicago,” and that’s just for starters.

The performer, who grew up in Lombard, attended Montini Catholic High School and studied radio in college, chatted from his studio about his latest projects, including his podcast’s focus on “Saturday Night Live” alumni in honor of the show’s 40th anniversary celebration this month.

Tomell: Your affection for ‘Saturday Night Live’ is reflected in your recent podcasts.

Kissane: I just interviewed the great George Wendt from ‘Cheers.’ I’ve been a huge fan of his for years. I do an impersonation of him as Chicago Bears super fan [Da Bears]. I interviewed Gary Kroeger, an ‘SNL’ guy from the ‘80s. I interned back at NBC for Tom Brokaw in 1985. Gary was still working at ‘Saturday Night Live.’ I used to see him when I was a 19-yearold college kid in New Jersey.

Bruce Rauner unveils broad agenda in Illinois State of State address 7 Rauner said.

But while Rauner preached the need for bipartisan cooperation to stop what he repeatedly called on the campaign trail the state’s downward spiral, he almost certainly will find a number of his proposals, especially those blunting organized labor, a very hard sell to Democratic lawmakers who hold House and Senate supermajorities.

Among his top priorities for eco-

nomic growth are implementing more significant workers’ compensation reform, tort reform, implementing true competitive bidding for public works projects while limiting prevailing wage requirements, and allowing local voters to decide by referendum whether or not local government employees should be forced to join a union or pay

Rauner in his 40-minute speech to state lawmakers Wednesday after-

Grandparents Raising Grandchildren find support and success More than 2.5 million grandparents in America are raising their grandchildren, and almost 100,000 throughout Illinois do so, according to AARP. For many grandparents, the challenges they face in being caregivers can be numerous and complex. To help them cope with those challenges and succeed, Metropolitan Family Services DuPage Center COMMUNITY offers Grandparents Raising VOICE Grandchildren.

Ann Grandparents Raising Grandchildren is a dropPinkney in support group from 6 to 8 p.m. on the second and fourth Mondays at Metropolitan’s DuPage Center, 222 E. Willow Ave. in Wheaton. The group, which has been helping families for more than 20 years, provides emotional support for grandparents as well as links to resources such as counseling and other services. There is no cost, and attendees can come as often as they like. Childcare is offered for grandchildren ages 3 to 13.

The group starts with a half-hour pizza party for the grandparents and grandchildren, followed by the support group for the grandparents.

Grandparents gain many benefits by participating, starting by learning they are not alone.

“The grandparents get to connect with others who are experiencing what they are experiencing – their phase of life puts them out of touch of most of their peers,” said Kelly Reid, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren facilitator.

Getting to share with and learn from peers helps grandparents deal with special challenges they encounter, such as the fact that many of their grandchildren have experienced emotional or physical abuse at the hands of their parents, because of parents’ struggles with mental illness, drug addiction or alcoholism.

Grandparents also have their own matters to deal with, such as health issues or limited finances, as many are on fixed incomes. And often there is grief and loss, as they think about what they thought they would be doing at this point in their lives – enjoying life as retirees, traveling, etc.

To attend the group and for information, contact Kelly Reid at 630-784-4839 or reidk@metrofamily.org.

Ann Pinkney is senior director of marketing and communications for Metropolitan Family Services.

The Tyszkiewicz family – Mike (left), Nicole, McKenna, 8, Kyle, 10, and Kelsey, 4 – play a game of Sorry at the dining room table of their Lombard home before dinner Jan. 28.

For nearly a decade, Miracles from Mia has provided financial and emotional support to local families who are caring for ill or disabled children. Villa Park native Georgianna Clements started the nonprofit in 2006, two years after her 17-month-old daughter died while waiting for a kidney transplant. Lombard resident Nicole Tyszkiewicz’s daughter, McKenna, 7, is one of two recipient families this year. Nicole said Miracles for Mia isn’t just a check: “It’s more about the emotional support.”

Congratulations to St. Pius X Catholic Parish in Lombard, which just celebrated its 60th anniversary with a bash Jan. 25. Sounds like a great reason for a party.

WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF VISION LOSS? Most people would probably name glaucoma and cataracts as the most common causes of vision impairment. However, new research shows that a less familiar eye disease is most responsible for vision loss and has been so for the past two decades. According to a study of 5,000 individuals, 44% of those with severe visual impairment suffered from late agerelated macular degeneration (AMD). Researchers noted that rates of this condition have changed little over the past 20 years, and many people do not know what it is. The disease, which causes deterioration of the central part of the retina (macula), may be caused by smoking, oxidative stress, high blood pressure, and/or abnormal cholesterol. The risk of AMD also increases with age.

AMD usually produces a slow, painless loss of vision. In rare cases, however, vision loss can be sudden. Early signs of vision loss from AMD include shadowy areas in your central vision or unusually fuzzy or distorted vision. There is no cure for AMD, but AMD treatments may prevent severe vision loss or slow the progression of the disease. To schedule an eye exam, please call SKOWRON EYE CARE. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision.

P.S. Because most people are not aware they have age-related macular degeneration until they have noticeable symptoms or until it is detected during an eye examination, it is vitally important to have your eyes examined on a regular basis.

I read about Mindy’s, that antique store that used to be on Vallette Street, and wanted to mention the exorbitant rents.

Remember the TCBY that was off Vallette on York Road. It was there for many, many years. We had fun memories of the going there, going across the street with the small kids by the fountain. They had to close down. I remember Scott, being one of the owners, and he said because of the high fees and rents he just had to close.

How many years was that place closed, nothing happening, just an empty building for many years. And now, lo and behold, we have another dental office. Just what we need another one in Elmhurst.

OBITUARIES

RICK LANG Born: Jan. 25, 1951; in Chicago, IL Died: Feb. 1, 2015; in Winfield, IL

KEITH A. FAILON Born: Nov. 17, 1937; in Kewanee, IL Died: Feb. 1, 2015; in Rock Island, IL Keith Albert Failon, died peacefully at St. Anthony's Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Rock Island IL on February 1, 2015, at the age of 77.

Mr. Failon is survived by two children, Brian Failon (Kim) of Richmond VA and Kim Phelan (Bill) of Lombard IL; six grandchildren, one in New York City (Kathryn Failon), two in Richmond (Caroline and Nicholas Failon), and three in Lombard (Miles and Spencer Fogle, and Olivia Zilinski); sister, Joyce Nolan, of Milan IL; and brother, Roger Failon, of Rock Island.

Mr. Failon was born on November 17, 1937, in Kewanee IL to Jesse and Esther Failon. He graduated from the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign with a Master's degree in Mathematics. He married Nancy Coffman, originally of Des Plaines, in 1960. A lifelong resident of Illinois, he lived in Elmhurst during his best years, while he was a tenured faculty member, in the Mathematics Department, at Elmhurst College.

His good sense for numbers, coupled with business acumen and salesmanship, drew him into real estate, first residential sales, then commercial sales and property management. He particularly enjoyed syndicating investment properties, especially apartment buildings, where he often would do the maintenance himself. He could have been the TV host for “Flip this Apartment Building.” His passion for real estate was only surpassed by his love for his Chicago Cubbies. He spent many an afternoon in the Friendly Confines, as well as several Spring Trainings in Arizona.

A memorial service is planned for 11:00 a.m. on February 28th at Edgewood Baptist Church, 2704 38th St, Rock Island, with a reception to follow. Pastor Dan Cullett will officiate the ceremony.

We extend a heartfelt thank you to Aunt Joyce (Nolan), for her loving and compassionate care of our father, her brother, in his later years.

• RAUNER Continued from page 7 dues as a condition of employment — Rauner dubbed the localized right-to-work areas “employee empowerment zones.”

“Employee empowerment zones will increase jobs for residents, increase economic activity for local businesses and generate more tax dollars for local gsovernments.

It’s a win-win-win proposal,” Rauner said.

Rauner also seeks to limit organized labor’s influence by extending the existing ban on political contributions for businesses with state contracts to all organization with a collective bargaining agreement with state government, and organizations funded by entities receiving state Medicaid funds.

In exchange for the business reforms, Rauner said he supports a plan to increase the state’s minimum wage from $8.25 to $10 an hour, but phased in over seven years.

While Rauner in his speech did not address the state’s $111 billion unfunded pension liability — a 2013 reform bill is awaiting an Illinois Supreme Court ruling regarding its constitutionality — his priorities list included a proposal to move state employees into a new tier of benefits or into 401(k)s while protecting the pension benefits they have accumulated to date. Another proposal seeks to give state government employees merit-based raises.

A number of Rauner’s proposals are aimed at the local level, such as lowering the property tax burden on Illinois homeowners. Besides the right-to-work and prevailing wage reforms that he said will decrease local government’s costs, he wants a two-year freeze on property taxes and an increased emphasis on consolidating local units of government — Illinois at almost 7,000 has far more than any other state.

Lawmakers will meet again in two weeks when Rauner delivers his proposed 2016 budget, which will give a more complete picture as to how he plans to pay for initiatives such as increased funding for K-12 education, and at the same time what needs to be cut. Besides a multi-bil-

lion-dollar backlog of unpaid bills, the state faces a $6 billion budget shortfall for the next fiscal year beginning July 1. A much-criticized 2011 increase in the state income tax was allowed to expire Jan. 1 as promised.

While Rauner said he wants to keep income taxes “low and competitive with other states” and keep the state’s flat tax over a progressive one based on income, he wants to extend the state sales tax to include a number of services. He likely will find pushback from members of his own Republican caucus, some of whom oppose any attempt to find more revenue over cutting spending.

Local lawmakers react Rauner’s speech earned high praise from local Republican legislators and even received positive words from the other side of the aisle.

Illinois Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno, R-Lemont, said she’s encouraged by Rauner’s early signs of bipartisan leadership.

“It’s exciting to have a governor who wants to work with lawmakers on longterm solutions to the state’s problems,” she said.

State Sen. Chris Nybo, R-Elmhurst, was part of the committee of lawmakers who escorted Rauner into the House of Representatives chambers to present his address.

Nybo said he is ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work with Rauner and his fellow lawmakers to improve Illinois’ business climate and boost jobs creation.

“He’s got a plan to get our economy back on track, to get our budget under control, and at the same time, to direct more money to our schools. Education is the most important thing we do in our state,” Nybo said. “I think he can accomplish a lot. I think he is looking for partners. I am excited to be one of those partners, and I am ready to get to work.”

State Rep. Deb Conroy, D-Villa Park, said she was “especially encouraged” by the governor’s pledge to consolidate units of government after she was part of the bipartisan effort in DuPage County.

(BPT) - To satisfy homeowners seeking to add a signature style to their indoor living spaces, more and more design professionals and builders are going back to basics and rediscovering the versatility, durability and good looks of cypress.

“There’s really nothing quite like it,” says Hal Mitchell of the Southern Cypress Manufacturers Association, www.

CypressInfo.org. “It’s an exceptional wood that offers variety and lasting performance to any home, anywhere. And for interior applications, as paneling, millwork, cabinetry, or flooring, cypress delivers a unique look that complements practically every architectural style. So whether in the woods or ocean front, rustic to contemporary, with cypress, the possibilities are endless.”

Bring warmth to modern design

pizazz to otherwise lackluster ceilings and walls.

“Cypress is really easy to work with,” Carver explains. “It readily accepts paints and stains and can be used as exposed beams, cabinetry, and other decorative elements. Most importantly, because of its natural color, which ranges from honey to light chocolate, you can better engineer a desired finish. I haven’t found a comparable product that gives as nice of a finish.

“We recently built a custom bathroom vanity out of cypress that was on the darker end of the cypress color spectrum. We applied a stain to accentuate the natural color and created a stunning look that couldn’t have been duplicated with another wood species. We also are getting ready to do an entire family room with cypress.

Paneling, ceiling, moulding - it’s going to be absolutely beautiful.”

When it comes to material selection for architect Jody Beck of Traction Architecture in Tampa, Florida, Beck chooses cypress to “warm-up” her designs. Despite the influx of trendy building materials, cypress is her go-to material. So much so that she featured it in a beach house she recently designed for her family on Anna Maria Island, Florida.

“Almost all of the wood in the home is cypress,” Beck says, “including cypress flooring in the bedrooms and awesome, built-in cabinetry. This consistency from room to room, coupled with cypress’ natural warmth and wonderfully subtle glow, sets off the rest of the home’s material palette, offering a nice juxtaposition to the clean, modern spaces.”

For Tampa, Florida award-winning builder, Marc Rutenberg, Marc Rutenberg Homes, it’s cypress’ texture and rich grain that separate it from other species, and make it especially desirable for a home’s unique, architectural details.

“Appearance is number one,” Rutenberg says. “And while cypress is usually seen with a flat grain, showing intriguing figure, some homeowners are requesting vertical-grain cypress, which has a fine grain that has an almost delicate appearance.

The tight pinstripes are bone straight and they bring a fantastic texture to the surface without being busy. It achieves a wonderful look.”

A horse of a different color

Show your signature style

Craig Carver, owner of Greenville, South Carolina luxury home builder, The Carver Group, favors cypress because it’s user-friendly and offers great variety. He recommends it to clients wanting to add

For your new home or next remodeling project, be sure your design professional is specifying cypress. Because when it comes to versatility, durability, good looks and style, cypress is hard to beat.

On a roll Warriors win weekend pair, streak stretches to 11 games

By DAVE OWEN editorial@mysuburbanlife.com ADDISON – Before the weekend blizzard hit, Alonzo Verge Jr. continued to storm through West Suburban Gold foes.

The Willowbrook sophomore’s 19 points Saturday, including the game-winning 3-pointer, keyed a 64-63 win against Hinsdale South, but his performance in a 76-73 overtime win against AT the previous night was a highlight film.

Verge’s 44 points, eight rebounds and six steals stole the show, and his blocked shot of an AT 3-point attempt at the buzzer was the fitting finale. The pair of weekend wins made it 11 straight for the Warriors (16-6, 5-3) heading into tonight’s game against Morton.

“My teammates always get me going and keep my confidence up,” said Verge, who was just shy of his career-high of 45. “I try to lift them up, and they always come through for me and trust me with the ball, so I try to make as much positive happen as I can.”

Verge’s very positive 20-point third quarter helped Willowbrook turn a 47-38 deficit with 2:22 left in the quarter into a 50-47 lead after three.

After a driving layup by Ryan Zygowicz put AT ahead 73-71 with 1:10 left in overtime, a 5-0 Willowbrook run to close the game included a steal and layup

by Verge that put the Warriors up 75-73 with 40 seconds left.

“When somebody starts Erica Benson - ebenson@shawmedia.com feeling confident and they’re Willowbrook’s Carlos Meyers brings the ball downcourt Jan. 13 in a game against West Chicago. The War- a good player to begin with, riors have won 11 straight and have yet to lose in 2015. it really is hard to stop that momentum,” Addison Trail coach Brendan Lyons said.

“My teammates always get me going and keep my confidence up. I try to lift “He’s very tough to defend.”

got some huge offensive rebounds that kept us alive,” Willowbrook coach Chris Perkins said. “’Zo [Verge] does what ’Zo does and he came up with big plays when we needed them, Jake stepped up and made some big free throws (he was 6-of-8) and Micah Williams did a phenomenal job defensively.”

Addison Trail (14-5, 4-3) rode its balance: Taylor White (21 points, seven rebounds) and Zygowicz (12 points) led the way, and adding 10 points each were Jaavion Bradley, Dante Frontier and Eric Grygo.

An ankle injury with 6:52 left in regulation knocked Bradley from the game for good, but White’s 3-pointer with 10 seconds left forced overtime tied at 67-67.

“Jaavion brings so much,” Lyons said. “Offensively he’s really starting to find his game. It was definitely a loss.

“I was proud of the guys stepping up and tying it to force overtime, but four or five key plays stick out.”
