Senior Jazz and Senior Hip Hop, won top honors in their divisions. The Illinois Park District Conference includes dance, cheer, pom and baton teams from all over Chicago and northern Illinois. Going into the state finals, Impact faced tough competi-

tion. Coach Erica Jaunich credits the strong work ethic and enthusiasm of each one of the dancers as instrumental to their success. “I could not be prouder of each and every one of these talented young ladies,” Jaunich said. “They put everything into

their dance numbers: dedication, hard work, sweat, sore muscles, and tears. Their positive attitudes and the belief in themselves is what singles them out. I am so honored to be a part of something so very special.” Impact will finish the dance

630-279-0566 Scott Levin (5th Ward) mentioned a favorable aspect for Elmhurst: “Members of the Elmhurst Auto Group have deep family ties to the City,” he said. “Six million dollars is a big ask,” commented Michael Bram (3rd Ward). Kevin York (4th Ward), chairman of the Finance Committee, noted that if the proposal

was declined and BMW left Elmhurst, “the initial loss could grow in short order.” The City would transfer land improvement/acquisition funds from TIF II to TIF V for land acquisition ($3.6 million). It would issue revenue-based bonds to be repaid by incremental increases of sales tax generated by Elmhurst Auto Group for the remaining $2.4 million

of incentive over a projected nine-year life. The Development, Planning and Zoning (DPZ) will review the possibility of establishing a 5th TIF District and make a recommendation to City Council. If the recommendation is seen as a positive, the DPZ Committee would begin negotiation of a Redevelopment Agreement with Elmhurst Auto Group.

he bunny - the Annie Ryan Run’s mascot - is lacing up its running shoes for the final time on Sunday, June 5, for the 17th Annual Annie Ryan Run. The Annie Ryan Run has run a strong race and raised funds and awareness for brain tumor research and other causes over the past 17 years. The Ryan family is grateful for the support the community has shown over the years while family members learned to cope with losing the youngest of Jim and Marie Ryan’s six children to a brain tumor in 1997. “Losing Annie at 12 years old was devastatingly painful for our family,” said the family’s matriarch, Marie Ryan. “The race began as a way to

channel that pain and to help us begin to heal. Our family feels fortunate that we were able… to help children and families through difficult times and do it in honor of Annie.” Peggy Ryan Noldan, Jim’s sister, has been a tireless advocate of the Annie Ryan Run, working on the event every year since its inception at the Ryan’s kitchen table. “You have to force yourself after something like losing Annie to help make someone else’s life better because of your unfortunate tragedy,” said Noldan. “It makes us feel better that although you cannot bring a child back, you have helped raise awareness and money in Annie’s honor and that has helped other kids and their families. But it doesn’t ever take the hurt away.” To date, the Annie Ryan Run

Residential burglary occurs Monday morning At press time, police still seeking suspect who fled in silver Nissan By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — On the morning of Monday, May 16, the Independent learned that Elmhurst police were alerting the public about an incident of residential burglary that took place that morning at about 9:20 a.m. on the 700 block of S. Stratford Avenue. At press time, the police were investigating the incident, in which an offender forced entry into the rear door of the home. Hearing the noise, the homeowner walked to the rear of the house and found the offender standing there inside the home. The suspect imme-

diately fled on foot and got into a vehicle waiting outside of the home. The homeowner said he saw the vehicle moving south on Stratford Avenue towards Butterfield Road. The offender is identified as a male/black, appearing to be in his late 20s, approxmiately 5’10” and about 175 pounds. At the time of the incident, the suspect was wearing blue jeans, a black hooded sweatshirt and a Chicago Bulls baseball-style cap. The vehicle is described as a silver Nissan passenger car with tinted windows and a lowered suspension. Residents are reminded to call 9-1-1 if they observe suspicious activity in their neighborhood. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Elmhurst Police Department at 630-530-3050.

has raised more than $700,000 with much of it going to the Midwest Children’s Brain Tumor Center at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge. Last year, Catholic Charities took over the run and the funds were given to the Children and Youth LOSS program, which helps those who have lost someone to suicide. The Ryans decided to let Catholic Charities take the reins because of the challenge of organizing the event each year, knowing it would be good to have a charity involved. John Ryan, Jim and Marie’s son serves as the Chief of Staff at Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Though Catholic Charities has run the event the last two years, Marie Ryan, Noldan, and other family members still did some legwork. Coupled with everyday life and health challenges, along with the number of children lost over the last few years in Elmhurst alone, a decision was made to end the Annie Ryan Run this year. “We are passing on the torch to other families that have been stricken by the loss of a child,” said Ryan. “Although the race is coming to an end, our family will continue to try to help others.” Noldan echoes her sister-inlaw’s sentiments, adding that the family recently lost its sister, Maria Ryan Koch to cancer last December. “We had so much going on in our family and my first obligation was to my sister while she was coping with cancer… and all that goes along with it,” Noldan said. “We aren’t done helping people...especially with all of the other tragedies happening right here in Elmhurst.” The Patrick J. Ryan Main Event and The Patrick J. Ryan Golf Outing are both Catholic Charities’ events created in memory of the Ryans’ son Patrick who passed away in 2007. “Why divide the pot when there are so many others who need to take from the same pot, sadly,” Noldan added. “Every charity has a good reason for wanting your donation, and there are so many races and good causes now just in Elmhurst alone.” Elmhurst resident Lisa Spedale lost her 11-year-old daughter Kira to a brain tumor in 2014. Before Kira passed away she was the honorary starter for the 15th Annie Ryan Run.

“It was such an honor for Kira to be the starter,” said Spedale. “It was fun for her to feel so important that day because she was so limited as to what she could do compared to other kids at the time. She felt so special that day. I have such warm memories of that day too. “I love Marie…Her strength is unbelievable. It’s important to help these children. Now, because of all the funds and awareness raised [through the Annie Run], children have a better chance to survive. Annie is a soul saver, just like Kira is.” When participants first ran in the streets for the inaugural Annie Run, there weren’t as many runs and walks as there are currently. Nonetheless, there has been continuous support for the Annie Run. “We have been overwhelmed with the way the community has embraced the Annie Run,” said Ryan. “We see so many of the same families, volunteers and sponsors…It’s unbelievably hard that [so much time has passed] and even that much longer for Annie.” A few years after the Run began, organizers added the 1-Mile Kids Dash. “We wanted it to be ‘kids helping kids,’” said Ryan. “This gave the kids the ability to play a role in making a difference in other children’s lives.” When Annie passed away, Jim Ryan was the Illinois Attorney General and Illinois Secretary

Nybo’s bill to expand access to epinephrine heads to Governor

SPRINGFIELD — State Sen. Chris Nybo’s ongoing efforts to expand access to epinephrine to treat life-threatening allergic reactions have resulted in General Assembly approval of legislation honoring a young Elmhurst girl who died in August 2015. Now on its way to the Governor’s desk, House Bill 4462 would allow state police and other law enforcement agencies to conduct training programs for officers on how to recognize and respond to anaphylaxis, including administration of an epinephrine auto-injector. “There is a saying about turning tragedy into triumph,” said Nybo (R-Elmhurst). “We first moved on epinephrine in 2011 after a tragic incident where a student died in Chicago. Unfortunately, we had another tragic incident, this time in Elmhurst.

Pictured is State Sen. Chris Nybo speaking to Shelly LeGere, Cathryn Hanson, Megan Cronin, David Plummer and Beth Plummer who came to the Illinois Senate on May 11, when House Bill 4462 passed by a unanimous vote. Sponsored by Nybo, HB 4462 expands access to epinephrine to specially-trained police officers so it can be administered to treat life-threatening allergic reactions such as the one that caused the death of 13-year-old Annie LeGere last August. Had first-responders had access to epinephrine, Annie’s life may have been saved.

“Last August, 13-year-old Annie LeGere suffered a very severe allergic reaction and unfortunately, epinephrine was not available to be administered to save her life. “A portion of the bill we

passed today is going to be known as the Annie LeGere Law. Our hope, as it was in 2011, is that we are going to save some lives and hope this situation never happens again. This is a step forward.”

Sen. Nybo has been working closely with Annie’s mother Shelly LeGere, who has created The Annie LeGere Foundation to increase awareness of lifethreatening allergic reactions and equip first-responder emer-

Park Board Capsules Here’s what’s going on at the Elmhurst Park District ELMHURSt — The Elmhurst Park District Board held a regular meeting on May 11 at the district’s administrative building at 375 W. First Street. All seven commissioners attended the meeting. Commissioner Doug Ennis participated via telephone. Spaeth elected Board President at annual meeting The board held its 2016 annual meeting right before the regular meeting. The annual meeting, which lasted about 11 minutes, included the election of the board’s president and vice president for the next year. Elmhurst Park District Executive Director Jim Rogers asked all seven commissioners if they would like to be considered candidates for president, or if they wanted to decline to be considered. Commissioners Patricia Morissette-Moll, Mary Kies, Kevin Graf and Anthony Pelosi joined Ennis in declining to be considered in the vote for board president. Commissioner Vince Spaeth indicated that he would like to be considered in the election for board president. Carolyn Ubriaco, who served as board president for the last two years, then indicated that she would like to be considered in the vote. About 30 seconds later, as Rogers was explaining that the vote would be conducted by roll call, Ubriaco said she wanted to decline to be considered. That left Spaeth as the only candidate to serve as board president for the upcoming year. He was elected unanimously by a 7-0 vote and

immediately became the board’s president. Spaeth then switched seats with Ubriaco, who stated that it had been a privilege to serve as the board president. The election for board vice president for the upcoming year followed. Morissette-Moll and Ubriaco both indicated that they would like to be considered for the position. The five other commissioners declined to be candidates. A roll call vote took place, with Ubriaco and MorissetteMoll both voting for themselves in the election for board vice president. Ennis voted for Morissette-Moll, while Graf, Kies, Pelosi and Spaeth voted for Ubriaco, who was elected by a 5-2 margin. The regular board meeting began a few minutes after the vote for vice president. No residents spoke during the public participation segment of the regular meeting. Registration process reviewed, improved The meeting included an update of the recent registration process that took place on May 7. That process took place several weeks after the district’s online registration system failed to perform at acceptable speeds during the first day of spring/summer registration on Feb. 20. District staff then worked with the district’s registration software vendor to improve the process of online registration. The improvements made between Feb. 20 and May 7 included upgrades in hardware and software and increasing the online registration system’s bandwidth and speed. Rogers said the online registration project worked very well on May 7. He

said 169 households registered online for district programs on that date, generating about $220,000 in revenue for the district. Rogers said the district will perform further testing to the online registration system prior to registration for fall programs. Update on storm water retention project The May 11 board meeting featured an update of the park district’s ongoing discussions with the City of Elmhurst to allow the city to construct storm water retention basins on park district property. The district and the city have reached an intergovernmental agreement that will allow the city to build a retention basin at York Commons Park. The district and the city are still discussing the specific location of the shutoff valve to the basin, as well as the construction schedule to construct the basin. The storm water subcommittee that includes representatives from the park district and the city held its most recent meeting on April 28. Rogers noted that the park district does not want any major earthwork done at York Commons during the summer pool season at Smalley Pool. Rogers said the project to build the basin is expected to begin in June with a targeted completion in November. The city and park district continue to work to complete an intergovernmental agreement that would allow the city to construct a storm water retention basin at Golden Meadows Park. The two sides are

gency vehicles, schools and as many other public settings as possible with epinephrine autoinjectors. Information about the foundation can be found at amazingannie.org. Shelly LeGere came to Springfield April 5 to testify before the Senate Public Health Committee on behalf of Nybo’s legislation. She was also present in the Senate May 11 when the bill passed by a unanimous vote. Sponsored by State Rep. Michelle Mussman (D-Schaumburg), House Bill 4462 would also allow a student to selfadminister an epinephrine autoinjector while being transported on a school bus, and allows a school nurse, or trained personnel to administer an epinephrine auto-injector on anyone they believe is having an anaphylactic reaction while on a school bus. School districts, public schools, or nonpublic schools would be allowed to maintain a supply of epinephrine autoinjectors in a secure location that can be accessible before, during, and after school hours. Approved by a unanimous vote of the House of Representatives on April 19 and by a unanimous vote of the Senate on May 11, House Bill 4462 now moves to the Governor’s desk for consideration.

FOCUS ON

VISION by Dr. Mark Skowron

MACULAR DEGENERATION

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in Americans over 60. AMD affects an area of densely packed cells at the back of the eye (macula) that is responsible for central vision. At first, AMD may make it harder to see small print or close objects. Later, vision can become blurred with the formation of a central blind spot, causing permanent vision loss. Baseline photography and scans are essential to properly monitor AMD. Depending on the type of AMD, treatments range from taking specific eye vitamins to eye injections. Genetics, smoking, and lifestyle are important factors in determining your pre-disposition in developing AMD. At Skowron Eyecare, we have the necessary technology and experience to diagnose and monitor your eyes for Macular Degeneration.

Seventy new trees to be planted in local parks in 2016 ELMHURST — If you see new trees being planted in your parks, it is all part of the Spring Tree Planting project. Every year the Park District plants new trees, some for general landscape needs and others to replace those trees removed due to disease or invasive species, such as emerald ash borer. Operating in teams of three to five employees, the Parks Division worked hard over the winter months to remove more than 300 ash trees due to emerald ash borer. With this in mind, this year, at their February 24, 2016 board meeting, the Park Board approved a bid of $22,169 to plant 70 new trees throughout your parks, assuring that shade and beauty will be here for many years to come.

When intervertebral discs “herniate” (bulge or rupture), it is largely due to age-related wear and tear that gradually cracks the disc’s tough exterior and allows the jelly-like material inside to push out. While disc herniation is more commonplace among older adults, children and teens may also experience herniated discs and their consequences (pain due to nerve irritation, muscle weakness, etc.). When discs herniate in the lower lumbar spines of children and teens, it is largely the result of some sort of malformation of the spinal vertebrae. While older adults with herniated discs are more likely to respond to chiropractic treatment, younger patients with herniated discs in their lumbar spines may benefit from more extensive evaluation and treatment.

How many registered voters in Illinois get to the polls? Not even half

ith the 2016 presidential election nipping at our heels and the hobo stew of candidates swirling in the mix until they hop out one by one before they burn, it is more important than ever to get registered to vote and to show up at the polls. The upcoming election ballot will most likely include Donald “No-Way-Will-HeEver-Be-President” Trump as the Republican nominee and on the Democrat side, our firstever female presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. With so much at stake, voting is more important than ever. But just how many Illinois residents actually turn out to the voting booths? According to Truth in Accounting, the national average rate of Americans voting in the last presidential election was disappointingly low -- only 42.92 percent -- Illinois was even lower. In 2012, only 40.72 percent of Illinoisans actually turned out to the polls, according to the data. Of eight states in the Midwest, Illinois was second from the bottom – a spot our dear state seems to hold on many lists – in other words,

Under my father’s fedora... Dee Longfellow

Editor it ranked second worst in its region for the percentage of population voting. Minnesota boasted the highest rate in the Midwest with 54.58%. Wisconsin reported 53.65%, followed by Iowa (51.44%), Ohio (48.32%), Michigan (47.86%), Missouri (45.76%), Illinois (40.72%), and lastly, Indiana (40.15%). With Trump doing so well, now top leaders in the Republican Party are finally coming around to accept that they’d better join his team. But there’s a big elephant (Har!) in the room that the Republicans still just aren’t seeing. What the voters are really saying with their overwhelming support of Trump is simply this: Americans are sick and

Letter to the Editor Reader’s idea could end bickering in Springfield I am writing to share a simple idea to help end the unnecessary partisan bickering in Springfield and reestablish a functioning state government that actually serves the taxpayers who fund it: talk to our representatives, directly and in-person, and tell them we expect no less. I recently joined the Alzheimer’s Association’s Constituent Advocate Program to help raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease among state legislators and encourage them to support policy proposals to make Illinois a safer, friendlier, more enriching place for people with the disease. Recently, I met with state Representative Patti Bellock and discussed the desperate circumstances people and

families facing Alzheimer’s will confront in the short-term if the state continues to operate without a budget, and the fiscal disaster Alzheimer’s poses to Illinois long-term if we do not take proactive steps now to strengthen the programs that serve our community. I decided to use my voice to advocate on behalf of the more than 220,000 Illinoisans with Alzheimer’s and as a tribute to my mother who died from Alzheimer’s in July 2015. By 2025, the Alzheimer’s Association estimates that there will be at least 260,000 people living with the disease in our state, and while scientists search for a cure, I want to do my part to make sure that each of them has access to compassionate care in a state that is responsive to their needs. Robin Zielin

tired of partisan politics. Oh sure, he’s Republican, but not an entrenched guy who has “borne water to the elephant,” as they say. He’s likely been a financial supporter over the years, but he represents the Washington outsider and right now, that’s sounding pretty good to the American people. It’s time for people like Paul Ryan to recognize it. There’s been talk of pulling tricks at the Republican National Convention to keep Trump from garnering delegates -- except for one thing – that’s NOT what the American voters want, it seems. They don’t want Paul Ryan or anyone else finding ways to pull the rug out from under Trump. Apparently, the American voters want Trump. To spend energy trying to find a way to deny him the White House is a complete waste, IF the Washington folks truly want to serve their constituents. The constituents appear to want Trump.

I’ve been involved in elections on both sides and believe me, winning is much better than losing. But once the votes are in and counted, one side has to swallow hard, hold out a hand to shake and wish the best to the opponent, now the victor. Even if the elected person isn’t anyone you might choose, you have to accept the will of the people. The people have spoken and they are voting for Trump. Who are you, Paul Ryan or whomever, to decide that Trump is not in America’s best interest? Apparently the voters think differently. And you have to accept and respect the people’s choice. So accept the decision of the voters and work with him or get out. There should be no back-room schemes to block the people’s choice, otherwise, we’re not really living in a democracy, are we? The same thing happened at the last gubernatorial elec-

tion in Illinois. Bruce Rauner – a total outsider – won the election for the same reason -- people are sick to death of partisan politics. And hard as he works to “fix” our state and its financial woes, he’s got to contend with Mike Madigan at every turn – or NOT deal with him as it were, because the House Speaker has clearly taken his toys and gone home. He’s not even going to show up to play anymore. Madigan obviously could care less if or when we have a state budget, which to me sounds like the worst thing you could do as a political leader – I mean, is that taking care of the taxpayers? Doing nothing? Going a full year without a budget? Time for elected officials at every level to recognize that the voters of Illinois and of the nation are sick, sick, sick to death of partisan bickering. At least, those who show up at the polls are. All 40% of them.

Continued from page 5 working toward an agreement that would allow the city to acquire the western portion of the park and build a basin on the land. The park district plans to ask the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to allow the district to deed the west portion of Golden Meadows to the city to build a basin while the park district tries to acquire a replacement property. The district would have to acquire a replacement property of comparable value and recreational usefulness for that land because Golden Meadows was acquired using Land and Water Conservation Funds. The city and park district representatives on the storm water subcommittee will next meet on June 9. Rogers said an intergovernmental agreement between the district and city regarding Golden Meadows could be nearly finalized by then. An agreement would require approval from the city council and the park district board. Butterfield project awarded to Elanar Construction Board members voted unanimously during the May 11 meeting to award the base bid for the Butterfield Park Redevelopment Project to Elanar Construction Co., of Chicago, in the amount of just over $1.5 million. The board also unanimously voted to accept Elanar’s four alternate proposals for the redevelopment project. Those proposals include the replacement of the parking lot lighting system (at a cost of $24,000); installing an underdrain system for ball fields No. 2 and No. 3 (at a cost of about $60,000); installing

an underdrain system at ball field No. 4 (costing about $65,000) and installing an underdrain system at the park’s tennis courts at a cost of about $30,000. Elanar was one of three firms to submit base bids for the redevelopment project, which includes the renovation of the parking lot that will add about 20 additional spaces. Other work included in the redevelopment project includes resurfaced tennis courts and upgraded lighting, renovation to the picnic area, new pathways and the addition of two new drinking fountains. Another firm–Wight and Company of Chicago–submitted a lower base bid that Elanar. Wight’s base bid for the project was $1,465,000. After adding the alternates together, Elanar had the lowest total bid of just under $1.7 million. Wight’s total bid was $1,767,000.

Butterfield revised Master Plan approved The board approved a revised master plan for the redevelopment of Butterfield Park at the Jan. 13 board meeting. Rogers noted that the installation of underdrain systems should address the drainage problems that have affected the park. Rogers also noted that the groundbreaking ceremony for the Playground for Everyone at Butterfield Park will take place at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 18. That playground will offer a fully accessible playground for all children, including children with mobility challenges and developmental disabilities. The park district board will hold its next regular meeting on May 25.

Bond set at $100,000 for driver accused of running over officer

Berlin says van struck plain-clothes detective at nearby Home Depot By Dee Longfellow For The Independent

WHEATON — According to a release issued by DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin last week, bond has been set at $100,000 for a

man accused of striking an Oak Brook police detective in the parking lot of a Home Depot. According to Berlin’s office, Devin Dawson, 19, of 8416 So. Justine St., Chicago, stands accused of attempting to run over a police officer following

an incident in the parking lot of the Home Depot store located on 22nd Street in Oakbrook Terrace. On May 4, at about 1:15 p.m., a detective with the Oak Brook Police Department was on duty in the store, when he saw Dawson running from the store with loss prevention store personnel in pursuit. The plainclothes detective joined the chase, identifying himself as a police officer. While running through the parking lot, the detective rounded a van in the lot and saw Dawson behind the wheel of his vehicle.

At that time, according to Berlin’s office, Dawson accelerated and drove toward the detective, striking him and causing him to roll up onto the hood of the car. As he clung to the hood of the car, Dawson reportedly accelerated faster and made a sharp turn, throwing the detective to the ground. Dawson then fled the scene in his vehicle. A subsequent investigation led police to Dawson. On May 7, a $100,000 warrant was issued for his arrest and on May 8, 2016, Dawson was taken into custody without incident.

Woman, 28, allegedly had sex with a 16-year-old student Obituary By Dee Longfellow For The Independent

VILLA PARK — Last week, the Independent learned that a teacher’s aide working at Willowbrook High School is facing sexual assault charges after a 16-year-old male student revealed they had sex. According to police authorities, Elyse V. Snyder, 28, of Bolingbrook, was arrested on Thursday, May 12 at Willowbrook and has been charged with three counts of felony aggravated criminal sexual assault (position of authority) and two counts of felony criminal sexual abuse (more than five-year age difference).

Bolingbrook police reported that the victim and Snyder both admitted to having sex on two separate occasions in Bolingbrook last month. Snyder was being held in the Will County Adult Detention Facility, police said. Willowbrook Principal Dan Krause announced on the school’s website that Snyder has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. “We take all allegations very seriously, and we are cooperating with local officials on this case,” Krause wrote. “At no time was the safety and security of our students, staff or community a concern.”

ELMHURST — James R. Reid Sr., of Willowbrook, formerly a long-time resident of Elmhurst, passed away on May 9, 2016. Jim served in World War II in the 90th Infantry Division of General George Patton’s Third Army and saw action in all five major battles of Europe. He was the recipient of the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star and the Good Conduct Medal. In 2015 he was awarded the French Legion of Honor Medal. After the war, Jim and wife Natalie settled in Elmhurst where he became involved in

Although the detective did sustain injuries at the scene from the altercation, none were considered life-threatening. Last week, Judge Richard Russo set bond for Dawson at $100,000 with 10% to apply. Dawson has been charged with one count of Aggravated Battery to a Police Officer (Class 2 Felony) and one count of Aggravated Assault to a Police Officer (Class 3 Felony.) His next court appearance is scheduled for June 6, 2016, in front of Judge George Bakalis. The public is reminded that this complaint contains only charges and is not proof of the defendant’s guilt.

A visitation will be held on Tuesday, June 7, 2016, from 9 to 11 a.m. at College Church in Wheaton, with a memorial service to follow at 11 a.m. Memorial gifts may be directed to the Natalie R.

Cleft lip and palate occur in approximately one T. or Boland two of every by Jeffrey 1,000 babies Orthodontic born in the United States. Licensed Specialist Fortunately, both cleft lip and palate are very treatable. The orthodontist’s role is to address problems arising from the patient having small teeth, missing teeth, extra teeth (“supernumerary”), or teeth that are out of position. Accommodations may also be made for defects in the gums or “alveolar ridge” (the bone that supports the teeth) that can displace, tip, or rotate permanent teeth or prevent them from emerging properly. Perhaps the most notable improvement in treatment involves the use of “neovascular molding,” which non-surgically reshapes the patient’s lip, nose, and gums with a plastic plate, thereby decreasing the number of needed surgeries.

Walk for Myasthenia Gravis at Berens Park on June 5 ELMHURST — A chance encounter at an Elmhurst yoga studio turned into a surprising resource for Nadia Ruiz. “My husband was just diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, a rare autoimmune disease,” she said. “We wondered how we’d find other people who understand what he’s going through.” Nadia entered Elmhurst’s Core Yoga at the same time Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of Illinois executive director Joan Wincentsen was dropping off a flyer for the charity’s June 5th benefit walk. “I mentioned what the flyer was about and Nadia perked right up,” Joan said. “We’ve been able to provide information and resources, and Raul is looking forward to meeting other folks who struggle with MG. The timing was great.” MG affects approximately 20 per 100,000 people and is highly misdiagnosed and misunderstood. The chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder causes fluctuating muscle weakness. It can affect muscles that control eye movements, eyelids, chewing, swallowing, breathing, coughing and facial expression, as well as arms and legs. The Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of Illinois will hold its fourth annual Strides Against MG

Walk on Sunday, June 5, at Berens Park, 493 Oaklawn Avenue, stepping off at 8:30 a.m. Registration starts at 8:00 a.m. The organization will rev up the excitement of its benefit walk by unveiling a new name and logo. Starting in June, the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of Illinois will be known as Conquer Myasthenia Gravis, or Conquer MG for short. Donate or register for the benefit walk and kids’ dash at myastheniagravis.org/2016walk. Registration is $30 per walker in advance, $35 day of; and $10 per child under age 12. Participants can enjoy the walk’s family fun with live music, bubbles, hula hoops and raffle prizes. Proceeds will help fund the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of Illinois’ programs of support, education, research, and awareness. MGF of Illinois has been serving myasthenia gravis patients since 1972. The Strides walk has raised more than $40,000 since its inception in 2013 to help fund the organization’s services. It is held in June to coincide with MG Awareness Month. “So many people struggle with severe muscle weakness caused by myasthenia gravis,” noted Wincentsen. “We want to help them get life back on track.”

IC Catholic Prep students compete in Business Professionals of America National Leadership Conference

ELMHURST — IC Catholic Prep seniors, Nicholas Golding and Joseph Pecoraro, boarded a flight to Boston, Mass. on May 5 to compete in the National Leadership Conference for the Business Professionals of America (BPA). Joined by ICCP’s Business Department Chair, Stephanie Rybarczyk, Pecoraro competed in the Digital Media Production division (35th place) while Golding competed in the Computer Modeling division (26th place). Both students qualified for the BPA National Leadership Conference at the State competition that was held in Oak Brook in March. While neither Golding nor Pecoraro qualified for the finals in their respective events, they will never forget the experience of competing on a national level and taking in the sights in and around Boston. “It was a transformative experience for me,” said Pecoraro. “We were able to net-

work with industry mainstays and explore a new city. This was an opportunity I might not ever have again, so I wanted to take full advantage of my time.” While Pecoraro fulfilled a childhood dream by catching a game at Fenway Park, Golding preferred his time walking the Freedom Trail as he has a love of history. “All of the BPA competitors were so incredibly kind and friendly,” said Golding. “It was truly an amazing experience in a city that I had never visited before.” On April 11, IC Catholic Prep’s WYSE (World Youth in Science and Engineering) team competed in its very first state competition. Competing in the 300 Division, the ICCP WYSE team qualified for the state event after placing second in their Sectional. Junior Robert Vitek took sixth place in Chemistry and sophomore Mark Zhao also captured sixth place in Mathematics.

McTeacher Night held for York High School Funds raised will bring back printed newspaper, York-hi

ELMHURST — On Tuesday, May 3, the McDonald’s restaurant in north Elmhurst welcomed York High School for McTeacher’s Night. The restaurant was full of families and friends, especially those who hoped to see a teacher in a pie box costume. Teachers took over the restaurant serving the patrons to raise money for the Yorkhi newspaper. The McTeachers greeted guests, worked the front counter, cleared tables, worked drive-thru, and served ice cream. York Head Football Coach Matt Monken gave three hours of his time to work the drivethru and support the York-hi. Chris McCoy, one of Monken’s players, worked with Kylie Travers to organize the fundraiser. There was a special appearance by retired math teacher Dave Aggen, which also made

VILLA PARK — An extraordinarily rare, free educational photography exhibit “Vivian Maier Uncrated” will be featured from Friday, June 3 through July 30 at the Park Art Center, 9 East Park Boulevard. Thirty-five striking photographs will be presented at this exclusive showing. Vivian Maier’s photography talent was discovered several years before her death in 2009 by a Chicagoan who had purchased her unpaid storage locker containing unprocessed film, a large amount of silver gelatin negatives, expensive old cameras and other personal items. He was astonished to find out that she was an accomplished street photographer who took amazing photos of working class people and children in Chicago during the 1950s and 1960s. Although self-taught, Vivian experimented with portraits, reflection, mirrors, nostalgic, and humorous candid shots until she was able to capture the picture with the right focus the very first time. Born in New York City and raised in France, Vivian had practiced her passion at an early

age. She had the opportunity to venture on a world tour to take pictures before she settled down to become a reclusive nanny in the Chicago area. This gave her the security she needed and the freedom to pursue her hobby while going on adventures with the children. “It is exciting to bring in this private collection of Vivian Maier photographs to Villa Park and DuPage County so that the public can have the opportunity to view her mastery,” said Wendee Goles, president of the Park Art Center. “Vivian’s photography has been shown all around the world in major museums and galleries. In line with PAC’s mission, this exhibit will foster appreciation of the arts through a full educational experience.” Park Art Center will offer lectures, discussions, and a showing of the film “The Vivian Maier Mystery.” In collaboration, the Villa Park Historical Museum has created a Vintage Camera exhibit that includes a German Rolleiflex camera, just as Maier used in her later work.

ICGS fourth graders celebrate the states

ELMHURST — On Thursday, April 28. fourth grade students at Immaculate Conception Grade School participated in a “Parade of States,” a celebration of the 50 states they have studied throughout the school year. Each student made a mini parade float based on land formations, native crops, businesses, and characteristics native to their respective states. Students paraded the floats into Monsignor Plunkett Hall for an audience of parents and guests. After the pledge and a prayer, students sang a rap song about the 50 states and performed a play. Culinary treats were also shared with guests.

York baseball team wins behind strong pitching from Polowsky Dukes finish conference season with 10-8 record By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The York baseball team wrapped up West Suburban Conference Silver Division play with three recent games. The Dukes recorded a 5-0 win over Glenbard West behind the outstanding pitching performance of Joe Polowsky. He threw a complete-game twohitter. Polowsky struck out two and allowed only four base runners in the contest (2 hits, an error and a hit batter). He threw 51 of 70 pitches for strikes. Josh Hovance went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI. Phil Schlitter had a hit and an RBI. Mike O’Malley went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI. Joey Chiappetta had two hits, a run scored and an

RBI. York also dropped an 8-3 decision to Lyons Township. York had eight hits and made five errors. Cam Fowler had a hit and an RBI. Matt Riecker went 2-for-3 with a run scored. Schlitter was 2-for-3 with an RBI. Riecker took the loss. He went 4 2/3 innings and allowed three earned runs and struck out four. Brennan McGovern pitched the final 1 1/3 innings and struck out two. In an 8-6 loss to Hinsdale Central to close out the conference schedule, Hinsdale scored seven runs over the final two innings to pull out the win. York had 10 hits, but committed six errors. Fowler went 2-for-4 with an RBI. Riecker was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Schlitter went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI. Cole Miller was 2-for-2 with two doubles and two RBI.

Frank Romano was 1-for-2 with two RBI. Miller took the loss. He struck out four in five innings and allowed only two earned runs. York also dropped a 10-0 non-conference game to Stevenson. Marc Thieme and Hovance each had a hit. Through late last week York was 16-13 overall and finished conference play at 10-8. “We’ve been up and down,” said York coach Dave Kalal late last week. “There have been some games this spring where we literally could compete with any team in the state and there are others where we have come out and have been a little flat. Our focus has been there, our approach has been there, but there have been some key moments in games where we don’t make a pitch or can’t get a hit when we need it. Some games we do that and other games we don’t—and that’s

baseball.” Kalal points to the team’s two victories over Oak Park-River Forest as a key case in point. OPRF won the conference with a 14-4 record. “We beat them 10-2 and 5-1 and those were two games where we clearly were better than them,” he said. “And then the third game of the series we didn’t compete. I will say we’ve had a good five or six games this year where we could compete against anybody in the state. Most of our games we’ve out hit our opponents and other games we’ve outplayed our opponents and we end up losing by a run. That’s happened a handful of games.” Kalal said consistency has been a key talking point of late heading down the home stretch of the season. “Hopefully the next weekand-a-half we can dial it up a notch and be ready to play every game,” he said. “The

kids’ attitudes have been great. The team chemistry is phenomenal this year. It’s a fun group to be around.” Kalal lauded the contributions of Fowler and Riecker on the offensive end. “Cam and Matt have been doing it for us all year offensively. They’ve been very good,” he said. “Cam sets the tone leading off games and plays solid defense. Matt has been steady at first base and on the mound and hitting in the three hole for us. Both have been offensive leaders for us.” Polowsky, Kalal noted, has been the team’s most consistent hurler. “Joe competes every time he goes out there and gives us a solid outing,” the coach said. “Joe has been our guy and a leader. He eats up innings every time and has thrown complete games.”

Kalal also cited strong mound work from the likes of Miller and Riecker, but stressed the entire staff has made key contributions. “Everybody on the staff has five or more appearances,” he said. “The three guys at the top have nine appearances and everybody else is in that five to eight range. A lot of guys are getting appearances and our seniors are eating up innings.” York was scheduled to play road non-conference games this week at Hinsdale South (Monday), Glenbard South (Tuesday) and Maine South

(Wednesday). The Dukes head to Prospect Saturday to close out the regular season before opening the Class 4A playoffs at Chicago Lane Tech next week. “We still have a lot of baseball before the playoffs,” said Kalal. York is the No. 8 seed in the Loyola Academy sectional. As part of the Lane Tech regional, the Dukes could potentially see Oak Park-River Forest again if they defeat Lane Tech. “First, we have to beat Lane Tech,” said Kalal. “They are a good baseball team with a rich history as a program.”

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The Timothy Christian boys track team won the recent Walther Christian invitational. “We had great performances from a number of guys,” said Timothy coach John Vander Kamp. Xavier Ross won the triple jump, the 300 hurdles and the 100 dash. Caiden Douma won the 400, while Chris Brooks won the long jump. Jalin Mayberry won the 200. Michael Larkin won the 3,200 run.

Eryk Biegunski took third in the 1,600. “The team has been doing really well,” said Vander Kamp. “This was a strong meet for us.” Timothy also competed in the Bolingbrook invitational

}Overall, I’m real happy with our progress.” — Timothy coach John VanderKamp and took fifth out of 16 teams. Ross won the triple jump and placed second in the 100, 200 and 300 hurdles. “Xavier has come on well for us. He’s only a sophomore,” Vander Kamp noted. Will Terpstra was third in the 3,200, while the 3,200 relay of Larkin, Matt Fox, Troxel and Douma placed fourth. Andy Mittlestaedt was fifth in the 3,200, while Larkin also took fifth in the 1,600. Biegunski was fifth in the 400 and Mayberry took sixth in the 100. “All in all our varsity people are performing at varsity levels,” said Vander Kamp. “We are performing more consis-

tently. We have junior-varsity kids who are doing track for the first time. It’s taken them a few weeks to get in shape and learn their events. We’ve seen some good things.” Timothy was gearing up for the Class 1A Chicago Collins sectional at Hanson Stadium that had a unique starting time of this past Wednesday. Margason, who has been battling injury much of the season, placed sixth in the state last year in the 110 hurdles. “Andy won’t be 100 percent at sectionals, but he has a lot of heart,” said Vander Kamp. Larkin, Biegunski and Ross also could be in contention for state berths at the sectional. “Xavier could make it down in more than one event if he has a good day,” said Vander Kamp. “Overall, I’m real happy with our progress. We’ve seen a lot of improvement and the guys still are working hard and having fun. They look forward to each meet.”

York badminton team enjoys another banner season Dukes win WSC Silver and sectional titles; qualify five players for state meet By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ork junior girls badminton player Irin Abraham said the secret to the program’s longterm success is rather simple. “It’s mainly because of the way we train,” she said. “The coaches put so much into making us good so we make sure we do the drills right. We put a lot of time into training.” And that training has produced long-term sustainable success. York won a sectional title earlier this month for the 10th year in a row under coach Nicole Young. York also won the West Suburban Conference Silver Division title this season. Abraham noted York coaches encourage off-season work through camps and open gyms. “I started doing badminton year-round the last two years,” said Dukes’ singles standout Julia Dierksheide, who plays for Victory Badminton based out of the Oak Brook Park District in the off-season. Abraham and Dierksheide joined teammates Grace Maz-

The York girls’ badminton team won the West Suburban Conference Silver Division title and a sectional title this year. The Dukes qualified five players for the state meet and ended up finishing in 13th place as a team at the recent state meet in Charleston.

zocco, Catherine Novak and Rosie O’Connor at this past weekend’s state meet. Dierksheide won four matches at state and made it to the consolation quarterfinals. Abraham and Mazzocco won three matches in the doubles division, while Novak and

O’Connor also competed in the doubles division. Both Abraham and Dierksheide started playing badminton in their backyards as children. “I’ve grown with it and it’s become my passion,” said Abraham.

Dierksheide added; “I went to York’s middle school camp and had a lot of fun with it. We have great coaches here and a great program. A lot of girls became interested at a young age. Once they start playing, a lot of girls go off in the off-season and work at their

games. There’s a lot of passion here and the coaches are motivated and caring. They do a great job of developing our skills during the season.” Dierksheide was thrilled to make the state finals in her senior season. “It’s very exciting,” she said earlier last week. “I’m a senior and it’s my last year. It’s nice to have the opportunity to be playing. It’s very likely the last time I will ever compete in badminton.” Abraham is thankful for her doubles partnership with Mazzocco. “I’ve been playing with Grace since freshman year,” she said. “Over the years we’ve gotten closer and closer. She’s my best friend now. We have great chemistry and we’ve definitely improved. Grace plays really well in front of the net and I like to play in the back.” But beyond the success, Abraham and Dierksheide point to their teammates as one of their favorite parts of being a member of the York badminton program. “I love the sport and love playing and knowing I am able to spend so much time with this team and the girls on it on an off the court. Getting to know them is one of my favorite parts of this.” Abraham added: “I like the team itself. We’re very close. We have a lot of great people on the team.”

Fuller and Katie Hendricks each added a goal. Fuller had two goals and Hurt added the other in the St. Edward win. Fuller had the only goal in the loss to Timothy. “We’re finally healthy,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Tom Schergen. “This is the first time in four weeks that we’ve had the entire team healthy and ready to go. We were able to make the substitutions we wanted to and that was the first time we’ve been able to do that in a long time. Being healthy helps. We’re able to get the right players out there and have a bench ready to give players breathers. Keeping players fresh helps immensely, especially in the game of soccer.” Schergen said season-long development has helped move the Knights to the next level.

“It’s definitely been the maturation process of the players,” he said. “They are hard-working girls who have motivated themselves to be there every day and work hard to get better. This is the fruition of their work. They are playing good team soccer. They have a willingness to get better.” IC Catholic Prep went 3-3 in the Metro Suburban Conference West Division. “Since we’ve been in the MSC, that’s by far our best finish,” said Schergen. “We were 1-5 last year. We’ve definitely shown improvement in the conference games as well.” The team’s defense has played a key role. “We’ve held our own back there,” said Schergen. “Our defense keeps us in games. We are able to do a lot to help our offensive players stay where they need to be. Our offensive players are not dropping back as much. They are able to stay in position, receive the ball and do something with it. We’ve had some kids put in new positions who have become acclimated with them and are doing well and understanding their roles.” Schergen lauded the contributions of Hurt and Liz Maloney. “Olivia has been a force for us,” said Schergen. “She’s our leading goal scorer. She’s been very impressive as a freshman. Her teammates realize what she can do with finishing. She has been getting the ball more. She’s earned her stripes. She’s proven she can finish and the ball is coming to her a lot more. “Liz stepped into the midfield and has solidified that position next to Tessa Langan.” Hurt was leading the team in goals with 19 through late last week.

A Monthly Guide to Living Your Life to the Fullest

Advice on Alzheimer’s and dementia care Q. “Since dad had Social Security and Medicare benefits, I thought he was pretty well set. Now his doctor confirmed that he has Alzheimer’s disease. Medicare doesn’t pay for long-term care and at this rate, we’ll run through money very quickly. What should I do?” A. First, take a deep breath. It’s a natural reaction to feel stressed and overwhelmed right after a parent receives an Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis. Keep in mind that Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease, so you don’t have to put a whole financial plan into place tomorrow. You do, however, want to quickly gain an understanding of the care costs you will face and identify resources you may be able to tap into to cover costs. Sorting out your dad’s income revenue, insurance, and government benefits will place you in a better position over the long haul. Ask yourself these questions: Does your dad have an independent long-term care insurance policy? Medicare and Medicare Supplementary insurance does not specifically provide benefits for Alzheimer’s patients but long-term care insurance might. If your dad has such a plan, carefully review the policy to ensure that Alzheimer’s disease is covered (in most cases, it is) and then speak directly to the long-term care insurer to determine when benefits begin, how long benefits will be paid, and the type of care covered.

Did your dad purchase one or more life insurance policies? Life insurance policies may be able to be exchanged for Alzheimer’s care services. If your dad carries such a policy, you may want to contact the issuing company and ask for accelerated death benefits or a death benefit loan. Or, you may want to sell the policy in a life settlement. A financial advisor can help you understand both of these decisions. Was your dad in the military? If so, he may be eligible for benefits regardless of the military branch or length of service. For example, a pension benefit known as Aid and Attendance can provide the greatest amount of assistance, up to $2,500 per month in some cases. Do you – or your dad – have

equity in a home? If so, you may want to consider a home equity loan or line of credit, which allows you to tap into the current equity, freeing up thousands of dollars. Or you may want to carefully investigate a reverse mortgage – a type of home equity loan that allows someone age 62 or older to convert some of the home equity into cash while retaining property ownership. At Terra Vista, many of us have personally experienced our own loved one’s Alzheimer’s journey and we are always willing to share our insights and point you in the right direction. It is possible to come up with a sustainable immediate, short-term and long-term plan when you have all the facts.

New to the line-up this year, renowned actor and Wisconsinite Willem Dafoe returns to his home state to lead the brand new performing and visual arts celebration, Milwaukee Fringe Festival.

Have a magical summer evening at Old World Wisconsin

lose your eyes and imagine… the sun glows orange as it sets over a field of wildflowers, against the steeple of a quaint country church. Though your tummies are satisfied, you indulge in a gourmet chocolate and a sip of red wine. After all, you surely burned calories while dancing to your favorite songs by a local band. As a few stars pop out in the surprisingly mosquito-free sky, you think... “What a magical evening!” Be part of the magic, as Old World Foundation presents its 14th annual Midsummer Magic celebration, Satur-

day June 18 from 6:00 until 9:00 pm. This popular fundraiser is hosted by Old World Foundation, an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that

supports projects and programs at Old World Wisconsin in Eagle. Come earlier and browse the Artisans’ Craft Market from Noon until 6:30 p.m. This is a great opportunity to purchase one-of-a kind handmade items from local artisans. After 6:00, savor delicious samples from dozens of Wisconsin wineries, breweries, restaurants and specialty stores. Enjoy music from “Falling Rock”-classic and current rock/pop hits from the 60’s through today; Paul Rebek-soft rock; “The Novy Spinners”-rock, pop and alternative; “RNB Duo”-jazz standards, 70’s

& 80’s favorites. And back by popular demand, balloon sculptor and magician, Tim Glander. You can also try your luck at the auction and raffle, where dozens of hand-made items, gift certificates, wine baskets, and tickets to local attractions will be up for grabs. Please call (262) 594-2922 for reservations or order tickets on line at www. friendsOWW.org. Tickets are only $55 for this fundraiser to support Old World Wisconsin. All entertainment, parking, and unlimited food and beverage samples are included in the ticket price. You must be 21 to attend.

Springfield Roundup

Measure to bring connectivity to rural Illinois passes Senate By Dee Longfellow For The Independent

SPRINGFIELD — Under a measure that advanced in the General Assembly on Wednesday, May 11, residents of rural and downstate Illinois may soon have easier access to broadband internet. Senate Bill 2237 passed the Senate last week and is now headed to the House for consideration. If passed, the legislation will allow broadband internet providers to use existing rights-ofway to lay fiber optic cable; the same rights-of-way used by water and sewer

utilities to lay pipe. The property is not productive farmland, not suitable for building, not used for any purpose other than roadways, nor is it subject to property taxes. There is an option for landowners. Individuals who own the land under these highways have the right to refuse to grant access to the broadband providers, indefinitely if they choose. The legislation applies only to existing easements with roads on them. Under the proposal, broadband companies would have to pay for repairs for any damage they do to drainage tiles in the right-of-way while install-

ing cable. Harmon sees measure as investment in state According to State Senator Don Harmon (D-Oak Park), the legislation prompted a broad conversation between two legitimate and competing interests in Illinois: the rights of property owners and the desire to have Internet accessibility throughout the state. “Hospitals, schools, businesses and residents everywhere, including in rural parts of Illinois, deserve to have access to broadband internet and cable services,” he said. “Just as we have

taken steps through the centuries to ensure transportation networks exist throughout Illinois and the nation for the good of commerce and convenience, it’s vital in this day and age to ensure [these] networks exist with the same prevalence. After all, today it is the information highway that connects communities and people across the state, the country and the world.” Harmon sees the action as an investment in rural and downstate Illinois. “If we don’t take these kinds of steps today, there will be less incentive for others to invest in these areas in the future.”
