Illinois Senate passes measure to eliminate government waste SPRINGFIELD —- Between 2010 and 2014, 11 of Illinois’ 15 major government pension funds have made $2.2 million in payments to more than 1,000 dead people, according to a memo released by State Senator Tom Cullerton. To end this practice, the Illinois Senate passed House Bill 6030 to require state pension funds to develop and implement a process to identify deceased pension recipients each month. “This is a simple way to reduce waste, fraud and abuse of valuable taxpayer dollars,” Cullerton said. “Reviewing the pension rolls monthly will allow for greater oversight and accountability of where pension funds are going.” State pension funds will have until January 1, 2017 to implement a process to identify deceased recipients at least once a month. The process can include using a third-party company, Social Security Administration data or other available data as well as any other method that is commonly used by other state retirement systems. The Better Government Association (BGA) weighed in on the issue. “The BGA supports pension reform that eliminates abuses of the public funds that support retired public employees,” said Judy Stevens, policy coordinator for the BGA. “With the passage of HB 6030, Illinois

has taken a step toward eliminating one of the most glaring of these abuses - money paid to deceased pension recipi-

ents. By requiring state funds to regularly identify pension recipients who have passed, the bill could ultimately result

in saving millions of dollars for Illinois’ woefully underfunded retirement systems.” House Bill 6030 passed the

Senate and House with bipartisan support and now moves to the governor’s desk for consideration.

County partners with other agencies for watershed protection Zay: Watersheds, local river systems not constrained by governmental boundaries WHEATON — DuPage County, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD), the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County and the DuPage River Salt Creek Workgroup (DRSCW) recently announced a regional watershed protection partnership. A formal announcement including a ceremonial intergovernmental agreement signing took place last week, which included a tour of a cooperative project at Oak Meadows Golf Course in Addison. The agencies are entering into a watershed protection partnership to preserve and enhance the quality of streams and rivers throughout the region. “By working together, this partnership will create lasting benefits for our watersheds and the people of Cook and DuPage Counties,” said MWRD President Mariyana Spyropoulos. “As neighbors sharing the same goals of protecting our environment, improving water quality and developing flood control initiatives, it was only natural for the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District to participate in this landmark agreement that provides a better quality of life for generations to come.”

Pictured are (from left) Forest Preserve District President Joe Cantore, MWRD President Mariyana Spyropoulos, DuPage County Board Stormwater Management Committee Chairman Jim Zay and DRSCW President Dave Gorman, who came together recently to sign the intergovernmental agreements needed to support a regional watershed protection partnership in DuPage County. The move was necessary as watersheds and local river systems are not constrained by governmental boundaries, according to Zay.

The partnership agreement promotes collaboration among the agencies to reduce governmental redundancy, enhance environmental protection and increase flood control throughout the region, all while reducing overall costs.

“We recognize that watersheds and local river systems are not constrained by governmental boundaries,” said County Board member Jim Zay, chair of the Stormwater Management Committee. “This innovative partner-

ship brings together regional resources and the expertise to promote efficiency and responsibility on behalf of taxpayers as we ensure the health of our waterways.” The DuPage County agencies have a long-standing his-

tory of working together on both flood control and water quality projects with each of the entities contributing expertise ranging from planning to project oversight to water quality research. “We are committed to protecting the waterways in DuPage County, and this cooperation combines our considerable skills and abilities to further protect and enhance our watersheds more efficiently,” said Forest Preserve District President Joe Cantore. The tour of the cooperative restoration project showed more about its flood control and water quality features. “A waterway’s health is measured by the life it supports,” said DRSCW President Dave Gorman. “Removing the dam and sheet piling, and restoring a more natural channel and buffer at Oak Meadows, this portion of Salt Creek will recover. We’ll see an improved habitat in the channel and along the banks, higher dissolved oxygen in the water, and one less barrier to fish passage. The broad and deep partnerships in our group have been instrumental as we learn of our waterways’ impairments and also as we identify opportunities for improvements, such as this project.” Beyond the Oak Meadows project, which is anticipated to be completed during the spring of 2017, the agencies are in the planning phase of several water quality projects that would benefit shared watersheds.

District 4 announces administrative changes as of July 1 ADDISON — A number of administrative changes were announced by the Addison School District 4 Board of Education recently. The first of these changes began with Dr. Robert Langman’s decision to take a position as Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum at Glen Ellyn School District 89. Langman has served as Principal at Wesley School and as District 4’s Director of Instructional and Information Technology. Kim Lohse, the current principal at Ardmore School, has accepted the Director of Education & Information Technology position effective July 1, 2016. The primary focus for this new position is to support teaching and learning initiatives through the use of technology.

KIM LOHSE

JANET DIAZ

Lohse will also be responsible for all information technology-related needs of the school district including information systems. Her move to District Office has created a principal vacancy at Ardmore School for 2016-17. At the May 22 meeting, the Board of Education approved the reassignment of Janet Diaz as the new Principal of Ardmore.

ROB TUCKER

KATIE PURSE

Diaz has served the Addison community for the past ten years, having taught both elementary and middle school special education and serving as Dean of Students and as Assistant Principal at Indian Trail Junior High. Rob Tucker will be the new Assistant Principal at Indian Trail, filling the vacancy created by Janet Diaz’s reassignment. Tucker has served as the Indian

Trail Dean of Students for the last four years. Prior to coming to ASD4 he taught elementary physical education in Cicero School District 99 for 7 DAVE SMOGOR years. Katie Purse will be the next Principal of Wesley Elementary School. Purse worked 17 of 18 years of her career in Indian Prairie School District 204 as a 5th grade teacher and as a Student Services Coordinator. She currently is the Assistant Principal of Forest Glen Elementary School in Glen Ellyn School District 41. Dave Smogor has been hired

to be the next Principal of Lake Park Elementary School, replacing Carolyn Young-Slonek, who has resigned. Smogor has 18 years of elementary school experience serving as an elementary principal for six years in Plano School District 88, elementary school assistant principal for three years in Troy School District 30C, and as both a 4th grade and 2nd grade teacher for nine years in Darien School District 61. “We are excited to have been able to fill these positions before the end of the school year,” said District 4 Superintendent John Langton. “We had a wonderful pool of candidates to choose from and we think that these new hires and reassignments will serve our learning community well.”

On Thursday, June 2, a bipartisan group of more than 20 legislators, including State Representative Grant Wehrli (R-Naperville) and Senator Dan McConchie (R-Hawthorn Woods), is urging Illinois Auditor General Frank Mautino to take an unpaid leave of absence while numerous investigations persist into irregular campaign

expenditures and reporting procedures dating back to his time in the Illinois House of Representatives. The legislators stressed that Mautino cannot effectively do his job while under a lingering cloud of suspicion. “I joined my colleagues today in demanding answers from Auditor General Frank Mautino on his highly irregular campaign account spending,” said McConchie. “For months we have formally asked him to provide answers, but he has yet to do so. Republican efforts to call on Frank Mautino to step aside have now turned into a bipartisan one. He cannot effectively do his job while

he’s defending himself against these charges.” According to a press release, a group of 12 legislators from the Illinois House sent an initial request for answers to Auditor General Mautino on February 1, asking for a reply within ten days. On Feb. 9, Maustino advised the group that he needed more time to respond to their concerns, so the deadline was extended to Feb 25. Mautino replied that he had retained a legal firm to assist him and would be working ‘…during the next few weeks in order to respond to your letter.’ In May, legislators sent yet another request to Mautino who said at that time that the issued

was expected to be resolved by the State Board of Elections. Since that time, however, the matter has reportedly grown into a federal investigation. “The Auditor General is charged with being the taxpayers’ watchdog against fraud and waste, and Frank Mautino can’t possibly fulfill those duties while he’s under numerous investigations,” Wehrli said. “Illinois taxpayers have seen enough scandal. They need government they can trust. For the integrity of the office of Auditor General, we are demanding Frank Mautino’s immediate assurance that he will step aside until the investigations are concluded.” On June 2, a growing group of 21 legislators from both the House and Senate demanded in writing that Auditor General Mautino take an unpaid leave of absence until the federal and state investigations into his past financial conduct are concluded.

News from the neighbors in Oak Brook

Many employees may be displaced as McDonald’s moves to downtown Chicago By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

According to a report in Crain’s Chicago Business last week, the McDonald’s Corporation is expected to move its headquarters to the Fulton Market district in Chicago from nearby Oak Brook. According to Crain’s, the fastfood conglomerate is reportedly in advanced negotiations with a company known as Sterling Bay to occupy the former Harpo Studios campus, which Sterling Bay had purchased in 2014 for $30.5 million. A Chicago developer reportedly plans to build a structure more than 300,000 square feet in size on Randolph Street to house the new base of opera-

tions. If all goes as planned, McDonald’s will join other companies like Motorola and Kraft Heinz to have moved their corporate headquarters to the downtown Chicago area, which has been a trend, according to Crain’s. McDonald’s boasts about 2,000 employees who work in their conglomerate center of operations in Oak Brook. Not only are the operations and global corporate offices there, but also the training center known as Hamburger University. Crain’s also reported that about nine months ago, McDonald’s backed out of a plan to move the head office into One Prudential Plaza in downtown near Millennium

Park in Chicago. At that time company officials took a step back and re-evaluated its options. After former Harpo buildings are torn down, construction of the new office building for the fast-food chain is expected to be completed by 2018. At recent shareholders meeting, McDonald’s CEO Steve Easterbrook was asked about the company’s recent activities. Easterbrook, who has been at the helm for just over a year, assured investors that the company is “leaving no stone unturned” in terms of better service. He has not only cut costs, but also sold more restaurants to franchisees and taken on billions in new debt to fund share buybacks and

shareholder dividends. There have also been changes at the restaurants themselves. The company has cut down on the number of menu items, redesigned their packaging and begun offering breakfast all day. Easterbrook said the company also embraced the focus on cutting fat, artificial ingredients and fillers from its products. He also mentioned that the corporate campus, which sprawls across Oak Brook is showing its age. Buildings are in need of repairs or renovations and it is getting more and more expensive to maintain, Easterbrook said. The deal is contingent upon Sterling Bay gaining zoning approval from the city of Chi-

cago for the site bordered by Randolph, Aberdeen and Carpenter streets and Washington Boulevard. According to Crain’s, Sterling Bay has been planning an eight-story, 550,000-squarefoot building at 1045 W. Randolph St., branded as Randolph West.

UPDATE: Late Friday, June 3, the Independent learned that McDonald’s was already taking steps to reduce its number of employees at the corporate offices in Oak Brook before the move to downtown. Some 400 people among the company’s 2,000 employees working at the Oak Brook location may be offered buyouts.

HUD, V.A. team up to house 155 homeless veterans in Illinois WASHINGTON — To help end veteran homelessness, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is awarding nearly $1.3 million to help 155 homeless veterans in Illinois find a permanent place to call home. The rental assistance announced last week is provided through

the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Program which combines rental assistance from HUD with case management and clinical services provided by VA. HUD-VASH works to reduce veteran homelessness by providing funds for both the housing and supportive services that are essential for tens of thou-

sands of veterans nationwide. “Supporting the brave men and women who served our nation is not only our honor but also our responsibility,” said HUD Secretary Julian Castro. Castro said the HUD-VASH program was already proving successful, having helped 111,000 homeless veterans to find places to live.

Veterans participating in the HUD-VASH program rent privately owned housing and

generally contribute no more than 30 percent of their income toward rent.

Do you have loose dentures? Implants can help. Anyone who has ever suffered from loose dentures can tell you about the embarrassment of constantly hiding their smile and about the social awkwardness that accompanies difficulty in speaking and chewing. Dental implants could be the answer. A dental implant is an artificial root to which an artificial tooth is attached. An implant can replace one or more teeth or permanently support a bridge or denture. Here are some of the proven benefits of dental implants: ◗ Improved Appearance ◗ Dental implants look and feel just like your own teeth, so no one will

know unless you tell them. ◗ Improved Self-Confidence ◗ An attractive, natural-looking appearance plus the ability to speak and

eat normally and comfortably will have you smiling again! ◗ Improved Oral Health ◗ Dental implants actually preserve bone tissue, and the procedure is

considered non-invasive because it does not affect the surrounding teeth. ◗ Reliability

Dental implants have had a proven track record for more than 35 years, and are an excellent option for tooth replacement. If you are in good general and oral health you may be an excellent candidate for dental implants- no matter what your age! Call us today to see if implants can help you.

Viewpoint I

Defining character

’ve been contemplating character lately. Not as it pertains to Mickey or Donald. I’m referring to character – as in what you stand for as a human being. To a large extent, your character defines who your truly are. And whether it is good or bad, strong or weak, your character is built over time through the actions and decisions you make. As a mom, I think about the character of my kids. It’s important to most of us moms and dads. And, although our kids may not ponder it as deeply as we do, it’s important to them as well. Especially as they go out into the real world and forge a way for themselves. You can be smart and athletic and charismatic and good looking, but if you don’t have (good, strong) character then none of the other stuff is going to get you anywhere. At least not for long. And at least not anywhere worth going. I like to hand out advice to my kids like it is candy (while they ignore me like I am an empty Kit Kat wrapper in the middle of the kitchen floor),

and have come up with some unsolicited thoughts about character. I put this ever-useful mom information in an acrostic, because I enjoy playing with words almost as much as I enjoy giving my kids advice. Character: C – Caring. A person of character cares about others in the truest sense. She has the ability to empathize and understand the emotions of others. She is kind not just to people, but animals and Mother Earth. She cares about the world around her. H – Humble, honest and heartfelt. I couldn’t narrow this one down to just one “H” because they are all key. A person with character approaches life wholeheartedly; he is 100-percent behind the tasks

set before him. He is honest in his abilities, humble when faced with difficulties and, more importantly, with successes. A – Attitude. It makes all the difference in how we see things. A person with a positive attitude can move mountains; someone with a negative attitude gives up before even trying. When a person of great character is faced with a difficult task, her first thought is not, “I can’t,” but “How?” R – Responsibility. I fear this trait is lacking in our it’s-notmy-fault culture. When we fail a test, it’s most likely because we didn’t study, not because the teacher is out to get us. We will all make mistakes. Owning up to them is part of learning not to make those same mistakes in the future. A person of character takes his responsibilities seriously. He admits when he messes up and then he moves forward. A – Ambitious actions. Again, I couldn’t pick just one because action and ambition so often go hand in hand. A person of character is not only ambi-

tious, she puts those ambitions into action – most often for the betterment of others, and in the best case scenario tries her best to be anonymous. (There’s another one.) C – Contributions. A person of character contributes – to the community, family, charities and wherever he is needed. He seeks out opportunities to give to others because time, energy and talent should be shared. T – Trustworthy. Making good on obligations and commitments is important to a person with great character. She can be trusted to keep a promise. She is loyal to friends and family and is known as a person of her word. E – Ethical. The dictionary defines this as humane, moral, respectable, decent, honest and noble. I couldn’t have summed it up better myself. A person of character is true to himself while being true to others. He follows the rules. He has a honed moral compass and has it pointed straight in the direction of decency. R – Respect. A person of character respects others as well

as herself. This often involves putting the needs of others before her own. She admires and is grateful for the abilities, talents and achievements of others and demonstrates acceptance of people with differing opinions and beliefs. Our character determines how we respond to the circumstances in our life. It is the core of what makes us who we are as individuals. As spring blossoms into summer and we see our kids graduate – whether from college, high school or kindergarten – I hope they (and we as parents) are spending as much time and energy building their character as we are with sports teams, summer reading and the multiplication tables. And even more importantly, I hope we all realize we are still building ours.

Birds of different feathers can flock together

pinions are generally not swayed by simply reading another’s viewpoint. It’s pointless to try to convince anyone to believe anything different from what they believe. But if reading leads someone to at least consider a differing view point, wonderful. It has been the reading of books and articles, and discussions with others that has led me to think differently on a wide variety of topics. Holding fast to a belief simply because it is all we have ever known does not make it right or true. Think of all those who thought the world was flat. Just because the masses agree does not make it right. How often have we taught our kids that? A large majority of teenagers may do drugs or drink alcohol or have sex or swear or get a piercing or a tattoo or whatever. We teach our kids to trust their own

instincts and not be a lemming. The proverbial “If everyone else jumped off a climb, you would too?” rings true. In reality, there is no “everyone”. It may seem like it. We say “everyone” is crazy or stupid or dangerous, yet society as a whole is made up of individuals. As individuals, we have the right to think and believe what we choose. We like to flock together with birds that think the same way we do. If they agree with us, they are smart and right. If they don’t,

they are crazy and stupid. Why must it be so extreme? What I think is “right”, you may vehemently disagree. That, I think, is the rub. Why can’t we disagree and not do so vehemently? The Latin root of “vehement” means impetuous and violent. How does that serve anyone? Someone getting angry and yelling or violent rarely brings another person around to their side of an argument. The more vehement we are, the more divided we remain. Is there a middle ground? Perhaps. Is it possible that a Trump supporter and a Hillary supporter can have a civilized intelligent discussion? Absolutely. Can a right-wing Christian have a loving conversation with an openly gay couple? Of course. Can a vegan marry a vegetarian? Sure. Birds of different feathers can flock together. Pause and see the other person,

the one who believes differently from you, as a human being. A person who was born to a mother once upon a time, and grew up with bruises and heartaches just like you. Take a moment to cut off from the incessant news channels and all the labeling (liberal, conservative, religious, New Age, black, white, cat lover, dog lover, rich, poor, vegan, meat eater, and on and on) and all the fearmongering to refocus your vision. Look into a person’s eyes. See them not as an enemy, but someone who believes something different from you. They like sushi for breakfast. You like cupcakes. They are not a threat. They are not going to harm you. They are not going to take anything away from you. (We have been programmed to think we have something to fear. We do not.) That is the crux of it all. As

Einstein said, “The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.” Do I expect my words here to convince you? No. I hope the notion pierces a tiny pinprick in your armor. We don’t have to go through life with our guard up (one of the beliefs that I have let go of over the years). Opening up to new possibilities is the very core of our human nature. I choose to believe (every belief is a choice) that the human race is more kind than mean, more good than evil, more sweet than sour. You may agree, you may not. And so it is.

About the Jaycees

The Elmhurst Jaycees are a local chapter of the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce. We serve our local community through charity and organizing events. Members develop leadership skills through participation. Mostly, we have fun helping others. The United States Junior Chamber (Jaycees) gives young people between the ages of 21 and 39 the tools they need to build the bridges of success for themselves in the areas of business development, management skills, individual training, community service, and international connections. The Junior Chamber is a nonprofit corporation/organization as described under IRS code 501(c)(4). Established in 1920 to provide opportunities for young men to develop personal and leadership skills through service to others, the Jaycees later expanded to include women, reflecting the growing influence and leadership of women in America. For the past 83 years, Jaycees have been a force for good in America and around the world. Jaycees helped establish AirMail services in America with

Jaycee Charles Lindbergh, and have raised millions of dollars for causes such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the March of Dimes. They have built parks, playgrounds, hospitals, ball fields, and housing for the elderly while conducting service and support programs in thousands of communities nationwide. With the focus of the nation on volunteerism, from the smallest towns to the largest cities, the Jaycees are enlarging areas of opportunity for young people. For more information, visit ElmhurstJaycees.com Jaycees Creed We Believe: That faith in God gives meaning and  purpose to human life; That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations; That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise; That governments should be of laws rather than of men; That earth’s great treasure lies in human  personality; And that service to humanity is the best work of life.

Willowbrook baseball team has thrilling end to season Warriors involved in two }Our younger kids had one-run playoff great years. We’re fortunate to have very good games By Mike Miazga Correspondent

You can’t say the Willowbrook baseball team didn’t give its fans their money’s worth in the playoffs. The Warriors played a pair of one-run games in recent Class 4A regional action. Willowbrook defeated Wheaton St. Francis 15-8 in nine innings after a furious comeback and then lost by a run to Lake Park in nine innings in the regional title game. “They were awesome games,” said Willowbrook coach Vic Wisner. “We had the huge comeback against St. Francis. It was great. The first six innings went by crazy fast. We were only an hour into it. It was 0-0 in the bottom of the sixth and then they scored seven runs.” Wisner said normally in a situation like that he would think about what he was going to say after the game to the team regarding the season it had. “We came back so fast that I didn’t even have a chance to think about that,” he said. “We scored seven runs with one out

coaches here. We have some more pitching depth coming up and with Curtis Hudson as our pitching coach, it’s going to be neat to watch that pitching depth develop. ”

— Willowbrook coach Vic Wisner

and then the game was tied. It was boom, boom, boom.” Willowbrook, which scored eight runs in the ninth inning against St. Francis, played a total of 12 one-run games this season, including seven extrainning affairs. “We were used to it,” said Wisner. “We had been in tough ballgames before. We didn’t give up.” Willowbrook had the bases loaded with no outs in the first inning against Lake Park and scored one run. “That game was a toughie,” said Wisner. “If we could have put up a crooked number in that

first inning, maybe the game is different.” Willowbrook, which received a solid pitching performance from Matt Pizur, was down 3-1 heading into the bottom of the seventh. But the Warriors roared back again and tied it with a pair of doubles. Willowbrook was 2-10 in one-run games this season and the team’s last three one-run contests all went extra innings. “We had really good pitching this season,” said Wisner. “Because of that every game we played we were in. If we could have just manufactured a few more runs here and there, we would have gone in a better direction in those games. Matt Pizur was 5-2 for us and we barely scored a run a game for him. We’ve been such a good team the last few years that we were seeing everybody’s best pitcher. We weren’t going to sneak up on anybody this year.” The Warriors finished with an 18-17 overall mark. “I’m extremely happy with what we did this season,” said Wisner. “I’m especially happy with the last few weeks. We were 6-14 at one point in the season and finished the season going 12-3. That’s pretty good. At 6-14 for a high-school kid it would have been easy to

hang your head. These guys had short memories. They were convinced the next day was going to turn around. They always were saying, ‘Coach, it will turn around.’ That’s a great trait to carry on as adults. They learned from adversity and never got down on themselves.” Cam Zunkel, Matt Garbacz, Pizur and Kyle Martyniuk were all named to the all-West Suburban Conference Gold Division team. All eight Willowbrook seniors also earned all-conference academic honors (3.0 grade-point average and above). In addition to Zunkel, Garbacz, Pizur and Martyniuk, Ronnie Reitz, TJ Geritano, Danny Olson and Mark Molitor earned all-academic citations. Pizur finished the year with a 1.30 ERA. Garbacz had a 1.70 ERA and Zunkel finished with a 2.20 ERA. Martyniuk led the team in hitting at .318, while Geritano was at .302 and had a .450 on-base percentage. “TJ was always on base,” said Wisner. Kyle Ferguson led the team with 32 RBI. “That’s a pretty good year,” said Wisner. Willowbrook also enjoyed great success at the lower levels this season. The freshman

team, under the direction of Willowbrook graduate Tom Fosnot, won the WSC Gold title with a 17-1 record and finished with a 25-3 overall mark. Fosnot was assisted by fellow Willowbrook alums Andy Wilhoit and Brian Hampton. Willowbrook’s sophomore team, under the direction of head coach Brandon Collings (Willowbrook graduate), tied for the conference title. Collings was assisted by Willowbrook alum Max Aiello. Wisner was assisted at the varsity level by Willowbrook graduate Curtis Hudson (pitching coach) and 11-year veteran Matt Scott (the lone nonWillowbrook graduate on the staff). “There were three freshmen on the sophomore team and they still did what they did,” said Wisner. “Our younger kids had great years. We’re fortunate to have very good coaches here. We have some more pitching depth coming up and with Curtis Hudson as our pitching coach, it’s going to be neat to watch that pitching depth develop. We had a pitching staff as good as anybody’s in DuPage County this year.” Wisner noted this was the first time in 10 years Willowbrook had a freshman player on the varsity (Trevor Jalosynski).

Addison Trail baseball team makes big strides Blazers improve metrics in numerous categories By Mike Miazga Correspondent

The numbers don’t lie. The Addison Trail baseball team enjoyed an improved 2016 season. The Blazers finished with 14 wins and went 9-9 in the West Suburban Conference Gold Division. “We had one more win than last year, but our biggest improvements came with hitting and pitching,” said Addison Trail coach Mike Kennedy. “We raised our batting average 20 points from last

year and our ERA dropped half a run. And we scored 20 more runs. Those are some of the big improvements we had.” Six Addison Trail players hit .300 or higher this season. “That’s pretty good,” said Kennedy. “We had some real good improvement with hitting.” Kennedy said the table has been set for even more future success. “We definitely left some wins out there that we should have had,” he said. “But we’re a young team and I think the future looks real good. I think what we did this season has a lot to do with our guys putting the work in during the off-season. Guys

came into the season much stronger than they have been in the past. They were having better at-bats and making better pitch selections during those at-bats. A lot of that came from the work they did in the off-season. Putting that work in off the field and in the weight room helped.” Nick Villasenor had another strong season on the mound. “Nick had a sub-2.00 ERA again, which is awesome,” said Kennedy. “He’s coming back for his third year, which is going to be really exciting. We had two other pitchers log significant innings and both are coming back.” Joining Villasenor on the mound will be sophomore

Trevor Fulmer and junior Bobby Daniels. “I’m excited about what is coming up,” said Kennedy. “We definitely had a much improved pitching staff. Our ERA dropped and we had a better all-around approach to the game.” Angelo Feola led the Blazers in batting average, while Robert Baughman was second. “Both of them were right around .375,” said Kennedy. “Robert Baughman hit .470 in conference, which is awesome.” Feola, Baughman and Villasenor earned all-WSC Gold honors. Ricky Perez (.353 batting average as a junior) and Cosme Garcia (.350) also

were key contributors. Addison Trail graduates Garcia, Baughman and Feola. “Other guys will step up next year,” said Kennedy. “We will be ready for next year. Our sophomore team had a successful season even though their two best players were with us. This group set the bar high for what expectations are in terms of commitment on and off the field and getting themselves ready to play, especially in the West Suburban Conference. They did a great job representing what we want an Addison Trail baseball athlete to be.” Addison Trail started its summer baseball schedule earlier this week.

bright because our six seniors have set the standard very high for the younger girls who are in the program,” said Mello.

Third graders visit Village Hall, Library, Historical Society ADDISON — Third graders at Army Trail School took part in a walking field trip to the Addison Historical Museum, Village Hall and the Addison Public Library last week. Since the 3rd grade social science curriculum includes local history and government, students truly benefit from getting the opportunity to visit with Mayor Veenstra and see the variety of historical artifacts in the Museum, Coach House, and Century House. The trip also included a stop at the library where students had a chance to tour the library, visiting the green roof and learn about its energy-saving, environmental impact. They also practiced origami—folding paper to create dogs, rockets, and pencils. At the third station on the library visit, students learned about the types of books and other materials available for checkout, as well as summer programs being offered at the library.

IC Catholic Prep promotes DeAngelis to head baseball coach School alum thrilled for opportunity to lead program By Mike Miazga Correspondent

IC Catholic Prep didn’t have to look too far for its new baseball coach. The school recently promoted school alum Frank DeAngelis to head baseball coach. DeAngelis had been the team’s head sophomore coach the previous two years and also was a

varsity assistant coach for one season. He returned to the IC Catholic Prep dugouts in 2013. DeAngelis is a 1997 graduate of IC Catholic Prep and currently serves as the physical education/health educator department chair, assistant athletic director, assistant admissions director and assistant cross-country coach at the school. DeAngelis is in the process of completing his master’s degree in coaching and athletic administration at Concordia University Irvine. “Frank is a great guy and I am very confident in the direc-

tion he will lead our program,” IC Catholic Prep athletic director Tom Schergen told the Independent. “He has a lot of coaching experience and brings a wealth of baseball playing and coaching experience and he’s an alum of the school.” IC Catholic Prep in a news release said it made the difficult decision to part ways with four-year head coach Zach Rodeghero. The release noted the change is a result of the baseball program moving in a new direction. “I want to thank Zach for his four years of service and

wish him the best in his future endeavors,” said Schergen. “I am confident Frank will lead our baseball program to the next level. Frank’s experience as a player and a coach along with being an ICCP alumnus will all benefit the continued growth of our program.” After enjoying a strong athletic playing career at IC Catholic Prep (then known as Immaculate Conception), DeAngelis played for Illinois Central College in East Peoria and Triton College in River Grove (where he played for Hall of Fame coach Bob

Symonds). DeAngelis closed out his final two years at North Central in Naperville. At North Central, DeAngelis was a team captain and a two-year middleinfield/left-field starter. Prior to his return to IC Catholic Prep in 2013, DeAngelis had been involved with baseball showcases, private lessons, recruiting, scouting and running camps around the Chicago area for a number of sports. His baseball coaching background also includes one year as JV coach at North Central,

Silverado Grill

f you ruled out our dining outdoors because the weather looks threatening, remember that al fresco dining can still be enjoyable at Silverado Grill, where the outdoor patio area is completely under cover, including an awning. So a few sprinkles of rain or a cloudy sky will not send diners dashing indoors for cover, carrying plates of food. Along with its ample parking, al fresco dining makes Silverado a perfect place to gather with friends and family during the summer. The entire menu — from those tasty hand-carved steaks, juicy burgers, gourmet salads, and cold beer

— is available to outdoor enthusiasts. All steaks are carved on premises. All top sirloin cuts, strip cuts and filet cuts can be increased to the size the diner prefers. So if the 11-ounce top sirloin just doesn’t seem right to you, ask for a 16-oz. cut. It will be done on the spot. Steaks are hand-cut daily, so whatever you order, you know it will be fresh. Hours are 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday, Saturday 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Sunday 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Reservations are recommended, especially on the weekend. Call (630) 833-1602.

Dining al Fresco HB Jones Outdoor Dining HB Jones 4000 square feet of outdoor patios feature two wall mounted 65” TV’s and a brand new stone fireplace.

HB Jones has half price on all 80 of its craft, domestic, imported or Draft beers every Thursday. Also on Thursdays, we have live music from Johnny Don’t and a rotation of local superstars on his off days. Thursdays at HB Jones have become an Elmhurst event.

HB Jones boasts Elmhurst largest outdoor dining area with seating for over 100 and even its own… beach? In addition to the new fireplace and TV’s, Jones now offers a 15 by 15 foot beach. When asked, Jones manager Kevin Pedote said, “Jones had just flown in from Singapore and he told us he wanted a beach! So we had a truck come in and drop a couple tons of sand in a big planter bed off our parking lot.” Pedote went on to say, “The Patio is a great place to come out and watch a game, listen to live music on Thursdays and have something great to eat or drink.”

The Don of A New Day in Sports I thought I was a big Chicago sports fan, who liked our teams until I went to Green Bay with my wife Julie and son John. We were in the atrium of Lambeau Field for a trade show for a marathon with the National Fitness Hall of Fame. Almost every other person had a Packers jersey. Almost every restaurant and motel had a Packers banner, even the garbage cans were painted green and gold. I had never seen such devotion to a professional sports team. I guess DON that’s why they call in Titletown. FIGARELLI My devotion is still with Chicago teams. Trivia questions to win a t-shirt: What was Ray Nitschke number? What was Paul Horning’s nickname? Who did the Packers beat in the Ice Bowl? If you know the answers, call Don at 630-530-7061

tor at Catalyst Circle Rock Elementary School in the Chicago Public School system, served as an educator/administrator at St. Benedict and served as an adjunct faculty member at Triton College. “This is a good place to call home,” DeAngelis told the Independent. “To have the opportunity to take over at the school I played for is special. To have this opportunity is exciting. I want to uphold what people have done here before me and build up on it. There is a lot more that can be done. We have the right kids in the program.” DeAngelis said his coaching style takes from his playing days. “For the most part, I’m a laid back guy,” he said. “You have to let the kids play. We’ll be aggressive just like the way I used to play. We’ll focus on fundamentals just like we’ve done here the last four years. We’ll build on that. We’ll be aggressive on the bases and at the plate. Those are things that have been with me as a player and high school and collegiate coach. There’s a good brand of baseball to be played here and we have the kids to do it. They’ve had some good suc-

cess here and we’re going to work even harder to progress to the next level.” IC Catholic Prep won a regional title this season. “We have talent coming back,” he said. “It’s a nice situation to come into. We’re going to attack this with one-year

initiatives and two- to threeyear initiatives. We’ll have a plan and continue to build on it. There’s no better place to do this than ICCP. The support here from the teachers and administration is outstanding. I’m fortunate to be able to coach at the place I call home.”

Mariano’s building sells for $25 milllion No changes or effects expected for customers By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — According to an article in Crain’s Chicago Business and other news outlets last week, the building at 678 North York Road in Elmhurst, occupied by Mariano’s grocery store, has been sold by Inland Private Capital Corporation to Mark Beccaria of Beccaria Partners, a hotel investment firm. A company spokesperson from Roundy’s, the parent company of Mariano’s, assured that “nothing will change with the lease agreement or the business.” The building, constructed in 2013 for the opening of one of the first Mariano’s in the Chicago area, is 75,922 squarefeet sitting on 5.7 acres on North York Road in Elmhurst. The site was formerly occupied by Elmhurst Ford.

PRSR US POSTT STD ROCK PAID AGE PUBL VALL ISHIN EY G LLC

SPRINGFIELD — Between 2010 and 2014, 11 of Illinois’ 15 major government pension funds have made $2.2 million in payments to more than 1,000 dead people, according to a memo released by State Senator Tom Cullerton. To end this practice, the Illinois Senate passed House Bill 6030 to require state pension funds to develop and implement a process to identify deceased pension recipients each month. “This is a simple way to reduce waste, fraud and abuse of valuable taxpayer dollars,” Cullerton said. “Reviewing the pension rolls monthly will allow for greater oversight and accountability of where pension funds are going.” It is difficult to determine the amount of pension payments made to deceased annuitants because each pension fund tracks death-related overpayments differently. State pension funds will have until January 1, 2017 to implement a process to identify deceased recipients at least once a month. The process can include using a third-party company, Social Security Administration data or other available data as well as any other method that is commonly used by other state retirement systems. The Better Government Association (BGA) weighed in on the issue. “The BGA supports pension reform that eliminates abuses of the public funds that support retired public employees,” said Judy Stevens, policy coordinator for the BGA. “With the passage of HB 6030, Illinois has taken a step toward eliminating one of the most glaring of these abuses - money paid to deceased pension recipients. By requiring state funds to regularly identify pension recipients who have passed, the bill could ultimately result in saving millions of dollars for Illinois’ woefully underfunded retirement systems.” House Bill 6030 passed the Senate and House with bipartisan support and now moves to the governor’s desk for consideration.
