Hunting for a Cure

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Elmhurst officials filed a suit in February against Lucky Motors, a company that located itself at 817 N. Church Road near the other Grand Avenue car dealers in exchange for some healthy tax incentives. The suit was brought forth due to the fact that in the fall of 2015, the company had apparently moved to a new store at 225 W. Roosevelt Road in Villa Park. Lucky Motors even posted a sign on the door of the Church Road building, directing visitors to the location in Villa Park. It was evident at that time that Lucky Motors had moved its operations out of Elmhurst, which was in violation of its agreement to receive any tax incentives. The terms of the contract signed in 2010 said in order to receive a rebate of 50 percent of the sales taxes it received, the company was required to remain in the City of Elmhurst for ten years; if they left before five years, they would owe the entire amount back to the City in full. The lawsuit states that Lucky Motors owes the City about $145,000. When Lucky Motors refused, the City filed suit for breach of contract. Lucky Motors then countersued, claiming the City was to offer assistance to the company to obtain more property in the area but that the City had refused. City Manager Jim Grabowski told

HAPPY No Problem!

Dental filling at 4:00 and big game at 5:00?

Father’s Day Whether you’re missing one or all of your teeth, there’s now an exciting option that will help you smile with confidence again. Thousands of people are flashing smiles that have been beautified by implants, a fabulous tooth replacement technique that can be performed right here in our office.

Dental implants are the closest cousin to natural teeth. They are permanent false teeth anchored right into your jawbone, just like your natural teeth. They’re more stable than dentures, and eating is done with ease and comfort. Many patients find implants give them a more positive self-image and more confidence. Implants can be used to stabilize dentures and bridges, replace just one tooth or to rebuild an entire jaw of missing teeth. The best part is that they look and feel just like natural teeth. Dental implants are reliable. Patients have retained them for more than twenty years with a better than 90% success rate.

From Our Family To Yours

Dental implant treatments does require a greater investment of time and money, but in the long run, it’s well worth it.

Obituary

MARGARET VINCI HELDT Margaret Vinci Heldt, renowned hairdresser and creator of the iconic Beehive hairstyle, resident of Lexington Square of Elmhurst, passed away peacefully at age 98 of heart failure on June 10, 2016. Margaret was born on February 11, 1918 in Chicago. She attended Calhoun Elementary School, Our Lady of Sorrows and Lucy Flowers High Schools and Columbia Beauty School where she became a licensed cosmetologist in 1937.

She was an early female entrepreneur, founding and managing a prestigious hair salon, Margaret Vinci Coiffures, on Michigan Avenue for

over two decades in the fifties and sixties. Margaret was a highly sought after instructor and mentor to others in her profession, and contributed to the success of entire generations of hairdressers in Chicagoland. She was a member of Hair America, the National Cosmetologists Association and Cosmetologists Chicago for 78 years. She was inducted into the National Cosmetologists Hall of Renown in 2005, and in 2009 a perpetual scholarship was formed in her name to continue the tradition of helping to educate new young people in her field. One of her greatest “claims to fame” was the invention of the Beehive hairstyle which she created for a magazine cover in 1960. The original mannequin used to create the style along with the hat and bee stickpin are on display at the Chicago History Museum. Margaret was the third of four children of Frank and Francesca Vinci.

Elmhurst says company in breach of contract, owes $145,000 to taxpayers The Independent that was not true. “We sued them for breach of contract, part of which said the company had to stay within Elmhurst,” Grabowski said. “They could not move locations, but had to remain in Elmhurst. Lucky Motors, however, chose to move to another community. “The contract read that because of the tax incentives, they had to stay in town and if they leave before five years, they had to pay the entire amount back to the City.” While the Church Road location remained dark, Lucky Motors conducted business from a sprawling, highly-visible location on Roosevelt Road in Villa Park. “Our position is that the only way to cure the contract violation is to pay us the money,” Elmhurst city manager James Grabowski said earlier this week. “In our opinion, he had closed the business. That’s the city’s position.” On Friday, June 10, a judge threw Lucky Motors’ countersuit out of court. “I’m happy to say that just today, I heard from our attorney,” Grabwoski said on Friday, June 10. “The judge threw out Lucky’s countersuit, so now we will move forward with the suit and all that goes with it. “We hope to collect the entire amount for the taxpayers of Elmhurst.” The city has sales tax rebate agreements successfully in place with several other dealers in town, including with Ed Napleton’s Kia, Wilkins Hyundai-Mazda and, most recently, with Larry Roesch Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge. The City’s finance department indicates sales taxes on cars account for about 35 percent of the city’s total sales tax revenues, which provide about 20 percent of general fund revenue.

“

We hope to collect the entire amount for the taxpayers of Elmhurst.”

– Elmhurst city manager James Grabowski

Presentation on proposed downtown plan leads discussion on vision of future

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

At its most recent meeting, City Council discussed the Zoning & Planning Commission’s proposal to place the new downtown plan into the City’s Comprehensive Plan. “Sometimes new developers come in and make use of the new plan, so it’s time to advance a new downtown plan,” said 5th Ward Alderman Scott Levin, who chairs the Planning & Zoning Committee. “In 2014, when we were doing the budget for 2015, we put money back in specifically for this purpose. This was our #1 priority and we engaged a consultant to do it.” A representative from Houseal Lavigne, the consulting company, gave a presentation on the plan, stressing that it had been done with numerous studies and good outreach into the community. “We talked about the past and brought it together,” he said. “Included was an assessment of existing land use, zoning, transportation, mobility, transit, parking and infrastructure. All these issues come up when you are trying to improve a downtown.” He stressed how much feedback

plays. Design guidelines include where building(s) should be placed, where doors and windows should be, roof lines and parapets, awnings and canopies, lighting, signs, and landscaping. “We look at what is being done now and how can we attract more in the future,” the presenter said. “The plan can serve as an official policy guide for future developments for staff and elected officials. You can take this plan and make it into what you want it to be.” He suggested updating zoning laws so there would not be as much need for variances or conditional use permits. “How did you strike a balance of vision vs. regulatory or code changes?” asked 3rd Ward Alderman Michael Bram. “My thought is that the plan is visionary and shouldn’t be about height, zoning, etc.” “The goal is for the plan to be a guide for the City,” the representative said. “This is what people want to see, but they still have to follow policy. The plan’s actions and recommendations will include making necessary amendments to the zoning code.”

“Is it going to be a workable document or will it sit on a shelf?” asked 7th Ward Alderman Mark Mulliner. “The point is, we must have actionable action plans.” Bram said he was still conflicted. “What is the plan for? It can support an argument or can be used against it,” he said. “I’ve seen people use the plan in whatever way supports their agenda. I believe the plan has too much detail, it shouldn’t include things like maximum building height. We need to discuss that level of detail and what position it puts the City in when developers make requests.” “It’s not a trivial thing,” Mulliner said. “We’ve put a lot of work into it, a lot of community members worked on it too. I want the public to know we take it very seriously.” After a vote of 10-1 (3 absent), the plan was approved. Mayor Steve Morley, who does not vote unless there is a tie, then spoke up. “The [contact with] residents and amount of input for this plan has been second to none,” he said. “Any action will be fully vetted. These are solicited opinions so we know we’re doing what the residents want.”

the western part of the park will determine the fair market value of the land. According to the framework of the agreement, the city will deposit money equal to that fair market value into an escrow account. The escrowed funds will be used to fund the park district’s acquisition of suitable replacement property. If a suitable piece of property that exceeds the fair market value of the portion of Golden Meadows is acquired, the city will provide an additional sum of money equal to the difference in the two properties. In no event, however, will the additional sum exceed 1.5 times the fair market value of the west portion of Golden Meadows. The IDNR must approve any agreement between the park district and city regarding Golden Meadows. Rogers said during the June 8 meeting that since the district and city have reached the framework of an intergovernmental agreement, it makes sense to contact the IDNR. Rogers said he was looking to arrange a conference call in which he would join Elmhurst’s city manager in speaking with the IDNR director.

had been gathered, thanks to the participation of residents as well as business and property owners. “The Zoning & Planning Commission (ZPC) held a workshop about the process,” the representative said. “Focus groups were held among business owners, property owners, brokers, developers, etc. The online survey had 750 participants, which is a very high number, as surveys go. There was an open house held on January 7 that drew 150 people. At that meeting, the community was able to see the plan in its entirety. After a public hearing in February, then it went back to the ZPC.” To create a vision for downtown, Houseal Lavigne evaluated existing conditions, community outreach and stakeholder interviews to create a vision to attract business and development. Actions and recommendations include functional land use zones, redevelopment opportunities, activating storefronts, public transportation, streetscapes, parking requirements and availability, railway corridor improvements, bike infrastructure, one-way vs. two-way configurations, and public art dis-

The Elmhurst Park District Board held a regular meeting on June 8 at the district’s administrative building at 375 W. First Street. All seven board members attended the meeting. There were no public comments. PEP grants $155,000 for Playground for Everyone People for Elmhurst Parks (PEP) Foundation President Pete Goworowski presented a check for $155,000 to the park district at the beginning of the meeting. The check was a donation toward construction of The Playground for Everyone at Butterfield Park. The Playground for Everyone, which is part of this year’s redevelopment project at Butterfield Park, will provide a fully accessible playground for all children, including those with mobility challenges and developmental disabilities. The groundbreaking ceremony for the redevelopment project will take place at the park at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 18. Goworowski noted that Elmhurst Park District Executive Director Jim Rogers approached the PEP Foundation about one year ago to seek support for the Playground for Everyone. PEP responded by conducting a fundraising campaign

and spreading the word about the project throughout the community. Goworowski said the $155,000 check included donations from several organizations, businesses and individuals. He mentioned that the Kiwanis Club of Elmhurst provided three separate donations. The Elmhurst Park District plans to replace one of its 18 playgrounds each year. The budgeted amount for each replacement project is about $350,000. The cost of the universal Playground for Everyone, however, is approximately $600,000. The increased cost led the park district to engage PEP and other groups to provide support for the playground. Storm water management moves forward The storm water management segment of the June 8 meeting included an update of the ongoing negotiations between the park district and the City of Elmhurst regarding the city’s plans to construct a storm water detention basin at Golden Meadows Park. Rogers said the park district and the city have agreed on the framework of an intergovernmental agreement regarding the city’s intentions to build a detention basin. Under terms of the agreement, the park district would deed the western portion of Golden Meadows Park to the city. The district would have to acquire a replacement property of comparable value and recreational usefulness for the western part of the park because Golden Meadows was acquired with grant assistance from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR).

Board meetings move from Wednesday to Monday as of June 27 Board members voted 6-1 to change the days of board meetings from Wednesdays to Mondays.

The board’s newly revised schedule of meetings for the remainder of 2016 calls for meet-

Financial update The June 8 board meeting also included a financial report of the park district’s first quarter of 2016, which includes the period from Jan. 1 through March 31. Rogers stated the district was off to a good start in the first quarter of the year. Total revenues for the quarter were about $3.3 million, an increase of over $200,000 from the first quarter of 2015.

Pool pass sales almost identical to last year Rogers noted near the end of the meeting that as of June 6, the district had sold 7,396 pool passes for the 2016 pool season. That figure is nearly identical to the number of passes sold as of the same date last year. The district reportedly sold 10 fewer passes—7,386—as of June 6, 2015. Rogers noted that last year’s sales generated about $255,000 as of that period, while this year’s sales as of June 6 produced about $292,000 in revenue. Rogers noted the 15 percent price increase for pre-season passes from last year to this year, from $34 to $39. He said the consistent sales figures from last year to this year indicate that residents still view the district’s two pools and the pool passes as a value. The board will hold its next regular meeting on Monday, June 27.

Victim shot in hip during armed robbery attempt Police investigating incident in First Street Parking lot By Dee Longfellow FOR THE INDEPENDENT

Last week, the Independent learned that an attempted armed robbery had taken place at about 1 p.m. on Thursday, June 9, on the 200 block of First Street. According to a release issued by the City of Elmhurst and Police Chief Michael Ruth, police investigated the Attempted Robbery-Shooting incident, which took place in the parking lot at 257 E.

• Third Ward Alderman Michael Bram said ComEd has hightension lines in his Ward, but had not been keeping up the maintenance on the land where they sit. “It has been a struggle to get ComEd to maintain their area,” Bram said. “At times the grass has been as high as four feet tall. We’re asking them to be a good neighbor. We wouldn’t let residents get away with this, so why should they?” Bram said he had called ComEd to ask about it and was given a rather short reply like, “We’ll get to it when we get to it.” “I find that reply unconscionable,” Bram said. “Their actions are despicable.”

Park District plans ground-breaking at Butterfield

On Saturday, June 18 at 1 p.m., the Elmhurst Park District invites the public to join as it breaks ground on the redevelopment of Butterfield Park. The plans for Butterfield Park include the Playground For Everyone, which will be constructed there, a facility for persons of all abilities. Free t-shirts will be given while supplies last.

in a consultant, there was a dispute about this issue and it was decided [the sprinkler system] WAS required. That’s a closed garage. “It’s our property so legally it’s our responsibility, but it’s disingenuous to call it an incentive.” “This is to protect the residential units above [the garage], I feel that is the accountability of the developer,” Bram replied. “And even if we share responsibility, we’re not sharing costs. First Ward Alderman Marty Deuter agreed that a discussion about cost-sharing might be a good conversation to have in the future, but for now, the sprinkler system is a cost of the project. “We looked at a number of items that were available that the City could support with TIF dollars,” she said. “This seems to go right along with that.” The vote was taken and motion to

pay for the sprinkler system was approved by a vote of 10-1 with three aldermen absent (Healy, Wagner, Honquest).

Police start up Neighborhood Roll Calls again Ruth: We’ve changed patrol strategy to include more visibility

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

It was a warm sunny evening on Tuesday, June 7, when Elmhurst police officers held their second Neighborhood Roll Call at Third and Ridgeland, encouraging neighbors to come out and say hello. An initiative of Police Chief Michael Ruth, roll calls in the local neighborhoods began last year. “It allows us to get to know the people, but also for them to know us,” Ruth told the Independent in a exclusive interview. “It’s good for people to know who is patrolling their neighborhood, if they ever need some kind of help, at least people know who to talk to.” The roll call initiative is one of the elements of the new patrol strategy at the Elmhurst Police Department. “Our new commitment is to more visibility,” Ruth said. “In the neighborhoods and on the streets around Elmhurst. We want people to know us and feel comfortable with us.” He encouraged people to feel free to call the police department with any concerns in and around their neighborhood. “You are not bothering us,” Ruth assured. “We welcome questions and will gladly keep a lookout for anyone or anything you might be worried about.” Current trends in crime When asked about current crime trends, Ruth said there was much more identity theft and fraud going on, especially with credit cards. The Independent asked about the rise in the number of cases of fraud in filing tax returns. “It’s definitely on the rise in an attempt to de-

fraud the federal government,” Ruth said. “The FBI has been actively working on it.” As far as the IRS is concerned, Ruth offered this reminder:  “The IRS will only contact you by mail, by regular U.S. Mail,” he said. “They do not call, they do not threaten, there are no ‘pay us now or go to jail’ messages. If you receive a message like that, call the police and do not reply in any way to the call. Above all, don’t send money or private information to anyone unless you know exactly who they are and what they want it for.” He added not to be taken in by emotion. “Sometimes a kid might call Grandma because he’s in jail and needs bail or something,” he said. “They might even say, ‘be cool, don’t tell mom.’ Well, Grandma wants to help and wants to be cool, so she sends the money to an unfamiliar location, only to find out later, perhaps that wasn’t her grandson at all.”

RFID wallets – do they help? The Independent asked Ruth about the ads on television about RFID readers, that someone can supposedly wave a device near your wallet and read all your personal information including credit card numbers. Are they real? Could that actually happen? And will those special wallets that supposedly block the devices really help? Ruth noted that many credit cards now come with a computer chip in them and those could possibly be read by a device. “But it would have to be very, very close to that chip,” he said. “You’d have to hold the two closely together, less than half an inch apart, and hold it for about 2 ½ seconds to possibly PAUL DELGUIDICE PHOTO The Elmhurst Independent read it. Reading through a wallet is very unlikely, and for that reason, any ‘special’ wallet Second Ward Alderman Bob Dunn shares a conversation with Commander Burdesigned to block out reading devices is prob- roughs at the Neighborhood Roll Call held on Tuesday, June 7. ably a waste of money.”

Market analysis underway for indoor sports facility in Elmhurst City, Park Board seek public input via web sites By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

According to a release issued by the Elmhurst Park District, the Park Board and City of Elmhurst have hired Conventions, Sports & Leisure International (CSL) to conduct a market and financial feasibility study for an indoor sports facility in Elmhurst. CSL, based in Minnesota, was selected from eight firms, of which five were interviewed by a joint panel of Park and City staff members. Both the Park Board of Commissioners and the City of Elmhurst Development, Planning, and Zoning Committee gave concurrence to staff to proceed with the hiring of CSL for the study and a contract was signed on May 5, 2016. CSL will provide a comprehensive market demand and feasibility analysis for an Indoor Sports Facility in Elmhurst. The study effort

will include a Market and Demand Analysis, Cost and Space Analysis and recommendations. The firm will be interviewing potential user groups, educational institutions, and business leaders to gain a thorough understanding of the market potential for aquatic, gymnasium, and indoor turf and ice facilities. In addition, an online questionnaire will be available starting July 1 at both the Elmhurst Park District at epd.org and City of Elmhurst at elmhurst.org to allow the public to provide input. At the conclusion of the study and review of findings, scheduled for late August 2016, the City and Park District will determine what, if any, next steps are required. A key component in the study will be the possibility of the facility providing sufficient revenues to warrant development or, conversely, if additional tax funds would need to be raised to support partnering with other entities or organizations to fund or operate such a facility. For more information about the study please contact Laura Guttman, (630) 993-8920 or email lguttman@epd.org.

Gardening with the boys

We spent most of the weekend gardening, and I’ve come to an important conclusion. Some people are born with green thumbs. Others, including the guys I live with, are simply all thumbs – and not a one of them is green. I needed help with mulching. I consider it a heavy task and was hoping to put their muscles to work. They were more than happy to oblige and their attitudes were terrific. A few minutes after they started, mine was not. They lugged the hefty bags with ease, but found it difficult to distribute the mulch without pouring it all over the top of my tender plantings. They were so effusive in their work they covered entire plants with the mulch, leaving me to dig for leaves so my plant friends could live to see another day.

Jill Pertler SLICES OF LIFE When I admonished them about being careful around the plants, they gave me a serious look and then went about their business – of covering more plants with mulch. And then it started to sprinkle. Sprinkle. An extremely light, barely tangible, you’d-hardly-notice it sprinkle. I was in the front yard – working. My hair was a bit damp, but the precipitation was miniscule. Refreshing, actually, if you were

sweating. Which I was. I finished my task and walked over to where the boys were supposed to be busy mulching. Not a one was in sight. I wasn’t buying the disappearing act and went in the house. There they were: on the couch in front of the TV. Without a smidgen of guilt, they announced they were on a “rain delay.” My jaw clenched and I expended much effort refraining from saying something I might later regret. My attitude remained far from terrific. I went outside to continue “our” work. On the way, I shut the door in a non-gentle fashion. I hoisted one of the mulch bags over my shoulder and placed it in position. I opened the bag and poured, pure adrenaline pulsing through my veins. By the time I grabbed a second bag, they

had joined me in the backyard, obviously knowing their very own supper most likely hinged on their helping me in a loving manner. I said nothing, but accepted their “help.” My boys have big muscles, but they also have big feet, and this was never so obvious as when they attempted to tiptoe through a freshly planted bed whereby the plants themselves seemed to attract those monstrous feet like a magnet. Squish. Some of those unfortunate plants didn’t stand a chance under my son’s 12DD. They displayed an absolute inability to discern a weed from a wanted plant. To their credit, this often takes people years of practice, but after they pulled up the fourth (blooming) pansy, I requested they withhold their “help” in this area. Not sure yet

if the pansies will make it. My fingers are crossed. To be honest, they do their best. And they are interested and engaged – in their own way. Last year we grew cayenne peppers – of the heatedly hot variety. My boys were keenly fascinated – in determining who could eat the most peppers without throwing up. I won’t divulge here who won, but it’s safe to say this will probably be an annual contest. At least it will continue this year. The cayenne pepper plant is one of the few they didn’t stomp on or cover with mulch. True story.

Age spots, they are what they are

ometimes I get a bit contemplative when I drive. The alone time with thoughts can make a person ponder all kinds of things. Like the new tiny brown spot on my right hand that I just noticed. It’s not chocolate. It’s not a beauty mark, a birthmark, or a scar. It’s an age spot. Oh my! A different kind of small brown dot, a mole, has lived on the lower center of my left hand, near my wrist, for as long as I can remember. This new fellow on my right hand just showed up and has me wondering if he’s bringing his friends with. As I study my hand, I see the veins now too. Were they always this visible? My fingers look a little wrinkly and my hand does seem to be screaming out for a dose of luxury lotion. I can’t do that, because I’m driving. There may not be laws against applying lotion while driving, but I am just not that coordinated. I turn my hand to be palm up and study it for a bit (while watching the road of course, officer.) The lifelines there don’t seem to be any different from when I wondered about them as a teenager. I don’t know a life from a baby line to a money line, but the lines look the same as ever. My palm side up is familiar; the backside of my hand looks more like a mom hand or a grandma hand. I am both. It is MY hand. The knuckles on each finger look like elephant legs if elephant legs were the size of fingers. If I make a

KELLY SIMMONS Columnist

fist, all is well. If I extend my fingers straight out, wrinkles and creases show up that say, yep, elephant. Tiny miniature elephant wrinkles. It is so crazy to be caught off guard like this. Just a couple songs ago, I was singing along with Taylor Swift (“we’re young and we’re reckless….), knowing that I might look foolish to sing such a lyric when my hair is gray and my hands are on the steering wheel at ten and two (except when I’m flipping my right hand over to analyze it) clearly indicate that young and reckless would not be words anyone would use to describe to me. Even so, young is in the eye of the beholder. One minute I am thinking that we never really feel “old”, even though my birth certificate was issued fifty years ago, and obviously I am old enough to be Taylor’s mother. Yet when it’s a beautiful day and you’re driving with the windows down and the radio cranked a person feels youthful and care free. And the next moment, you see a spot on your hand that doesn’t lick off. So maybe this is what it is like to

feel old? I am indeed feeling kind of a little bit … fascinated….as I fixate on that age spot. Why does our skin get spots? How spotty will I be? Should I draw a constellation on my hand and name it?

The mind wanders as the miles roll on. I don’t feel bad about aging, or the spots. It is what it is. The sun is shining. I’m still here. I do what I’ve always done. Turn up the radio a little louder and sing along.

The summer months are upon us Now that summer is here, Ruth said the police department is rolling out its new Summer Mobile Patrol Program. The program is designed to engage the community with visible and interactive police patrols in our residential neighborhoods, local parks, the train station, and provide a greater visible presence on the Prairie Path and the Salt Creek Greenway Trail. The funding of the additional police officers for the program is provided by the Equitable Sharing Program. The unit consists of police officers riding bicycles and driving an electric side-by-side ATV to provide a more visible and engaging community presence. The ATV was made possible by a grant issued by Union Pacific Railroad.

Few things in life occur in isolation. Because the body is an interconnected structure, back pain is seldom limited to only the back. If left untreated, back pain can lead to osteoarthritis of the hips. In fact, an analysis of patients with low back pain shows that they experienced a higher incidence of hip osteoarthritis (but not knee arthritis). What this means for those suffering from low back pain is that it is possible that their condition can lead to overcompensation and unusual wear and tear of the hip joint. The best approach to solving this cascade effect is to address the underlying cause(s). Chiropractic treatment can help realign the spine and diminish future degeneration of the lower back.

We can help identify where your pain originates. Let YORK CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC help you perform your personal best without the use of drugs or surgery. Could you benefit from professional, gentle, and safe chiropractic care? Give us a call at 630.834.8536 to schedule an appointment. We have the experience and expertise to give you the care you need. Let us make a difference for your good health and comfort now and in the future. We’re located at 486 Spring Road.

P.S. When people experience pain, they use other muscles and alter their body mechanics to avoid the pain.

Walkers take strides against rare disease T

Strides Against Myasthenia Gravis raises $21,000

he Fourth Annual Strides Against MG Walk welcomed 250 participants on Sunday, June 5, at Berens Park in Elmhurst. The walk raised $21,000 for Conquer Myasthenia Gravis, a nonprofit organization that funds MG patient assistance and research, and provides patient education and support. The walk drew participants from all over the local area. “This is our first time, and we can’t wait for next year,” said Tiffany Rivera. Her four children, including a daughter who suffers with MG, enjoyed bubbles, hula hoops, and face painting along with the walk. After spending much of last summer in the hospital, Mike Brady was glad to meet others at the event who struggle with MG. “I’m grateful I have a doctor who really understands MG,” he said. “I wish others were as lucky.” The organization, formerly known as the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of Illinois, unveiled its new name and logo for the crowd on that day as well. “We’re now called Conquer Myasthenia Gravis, or Conquer MG for short,” Board Chair Bob Rosecrans announced. “The new name reflects our desire to wipe out this rare autoimmune disease. Our logo clarifies the region we serve face-to-face: Illinois, northwest Indiana, and southeast Wisconsin.”

Somewhere over the rainbow there’s a cure for MG was the slogan of the Bauer family (pictured here) at the 4th Annual Strides Against MG (Myasthenia Gravis) Walk, held at Berens Park on June 5.

Survey shows growth in travel to Cuba

Venice ranks as a top ‘Must See’ destination

According to a survey released by Travel Leaders Group, Cuba continues trending upward in interest among American travelers and is likely to increase further with regularly scheduled air service from the U.S. Survey participants indicating they’d “go immediately” to Cuba if all government restrictions were lifted has risen to nearly 11%, with gains also charted among those who have already been there. This year’s survey also explored the Top 20 International Destinations, asking travelers to rank their desire to visit each. The top “must see” destination was Venice, Italy, followed by Florence (Tuscany), Rome, London and Dublin, respectively. The survey was conducted April 4 to April 30, 2016, and includes responses from 3,431 consumers throughout the United States. “Today’s announcement of six U.S. airlines approved for commercial flights to Cuba, beginning this fall, is another major step toward more American visitors in Cuba,” said Ninan Chacko, CEO of Travel Leaders Group. “While Congress has yet to lift all remaining restrictions on travel, it is clear from our survey data that Americans are increasingly considering and booking travel to Cuba, albeit modestly. “Cuba is such a fascinating and culturally-rich destination that we anticipate continued growth.”

Munger: budget inaction to bring greater hardship Comptroller details ramifications of status quo

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE INDEPENDENT

According to Illinois State Comptroller Leslie Munger, the hardship already felt by the state’s ongoing budget impasse will only get worse if the state enters into a new fiscal year on July 1 without any further action. On Thursday, June 9, Munger held a news conference at the James Thompson building in downtown Chicago to talk about the continuing woes in the state’s finances, as she had on May 3 when she offered the keynote address at the 7th annual Business Outlook Luncheon held in DuPage County. “Illinois has not had a balanced budget in 15 years,” she said at that time. “We must have a budget. We are at the precipice and right now, we are being governed by the courts. “When the State is doing little toward solving its budget problems,

then the courts have to step in and order payments to certain groups. The problem is that sometimes, a judge may order payments without knowing whether or not the state has the money to make them.” While court orders, consent decrees and statutory authorization of some payments will continue past July 1, Munger noted last week that without new legislation, $23 billion in existing spending for schools, 911 call centers, domestic violence shelters, federallyfunded social and human services and higher education will end as of next month. On top of that, in the absence of a stopgap budget, businesses and

residents are losing critical services, our colleges and universities are on the verge of collapse, and businesses and organizations are being forced into mass layoffs that are leaving families with no way to meet their financial obligations,” Munger said. “All of this is happening because of the state’s failure to pass a budget. It’s unconscionable, it’s irresponsible and frankly, it violates our Constitution.” Four budget bills that were passed by the General Assembly and – Illinois State Comptroller Leslie Munger signed by the Governor will sunset in the to be paid. new fiscal year, Munger pointed out. “Our social service network is be- The legislation authorized spending ing torn apart, our most vulnerable that included:

Adding to those challenges, Munger said businesses that have provided goods and services to the state in good faith in the current fiscal year would continue to go unpaid unless legislation is signed. Usually, she said, unpaid vendors go before the Court of Claims to com-

Statute of limitations to be eliminated for sex crimes against children

(Continued from page 21)

If passed, no predator will go free just because time is up SPRINGFIELD – A package of bills that would eliminate the statute of limitations for sex crimes against children recently passed the House of Representatives, according to Deb Conroy (D-Villa Park). “No child sexual predator should be allowed to go free simply because of the statute of limitations,” she said. “We know that it is not uncommon for victims to take decades to come to terms with the sexual abuse that they endured as a child. As a mother of four, I will do everything in my power

to keep children safe by ensuring that sexual predators are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, regardless of how much time has passed.” House Bills 1127, 1128 and 1129 eliminate the statute of limitations on criminal sex offences against children, including criminal sexual abuse, criminal sexual assault, solicitation of a sexual act, internet solicitation of a minor and child pornography. The measures are in response to the recent case against former Speaker of the U.S. House

Le Tour de Shore coming June 17-18, 2016 Le Tour de Shore is a 2-day, 100 mile charity recreational bike ride from Chicago to New Buffalo, MI benefiting Arts for Kids at Maywood Fine Arts. This year’s route starts with a stroll through the new Maggie Daley Park...and ends at City Beach New Buffalo, Michigan. Le Tour de Shore History In early 2004, after ten years of driving cars to family vacations in Union Pier, Michigan, goods friends and average cyclists, Lois and Ernie Baumann, and Kay and Steve Cough-

lin, challenged each other to ride their bicycles from Chicago to Union Pier. So, in June 2004, with scant maps and no cue sheet, our baby boomer foursome discovered a 80 mile, 2-day scenic adventure. The thrill of this accomplishment (plus saddle sore amnesia) inspired the creation of Le Tour de Shore, a Charity Bike Ride from Chicago-to-Michigan. In June 2005, 33 cyclists join Lois, Ernie, Kay and Steve in the inaugural LTdS (75 miles, 2-days Chicago Buckingham Fountain to New Buf-

falo, Michigan). In June 2006, 67 cyclists rode 95 miles, 2-days from Chicago Millennium Park to Warren Dunes, Sawyer, Michigan. In 2007, LTdS grew to 133 cyclists! Over 200, in 2010. Over 300, in 2012, Over 400, in 2014. Fun is contagious.

York softball coach Nolan steps down

Led Dukes to two regional titles in a row

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Jenna Nolan has stepped down as York’s head softball coach, she told the Independent late last week. “I want to spend more time with my family,” she said. “It was the time commitment.” Nolan just finished her second season as head coach. She previously was the Dukes’ varsity assistant coach for four seasons under former head coaches Tom Babyar and Drew McGuire.

“

I got a little choked up at the end of the season, but it’s something that is best for me and my family right now.” – Jenna Nolan

Nolan, a math teacher at York, directed the Dukes to a 16-11 overall mark this spring and the team’s fifth regional championship in a row. Nolan was either the head coach or varsity assistant coach on all five of those teams. She was part of the 2013 York team that finished fourth in the state in Class 4A (York’s only state trophy finish in the sport). York finished tied for third place with Lyons Township in the West Suburban Conference Silver Division in 2016. “It was a tough decision,” she said. “I got a little choked up at the end of the season, but it’s something that is best for me and my family right now.” Nolan previously coached at the high-school level at Rich South (varsity assistant) and at Lincoln-Way North (assistant sophomore coach). Nolan said the main thing she will miss about coaching is the studentathletes. “It’s the kids,” she said. “I was able to coach a lot of different kids. All the kids I’ve coached were wonderful and I’m thankful for that.” Nolan did not rule out an eventual return to coaching. “I hope to, eventually,” she said. “Maybe in a few years after I have my family going. Hopefully an opportunity presents itself again.” Nolan, a graduate of Andrew High School in Tinley Park, amassed a 4318 record in her two years at the helm.

IC girls soccer team places four on all-conference team Knights win 13 games and advanced to regional championship game

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

IC Catholic Prep’s success in girls soccer was recognized via four players earning a spot on the allMetro Suburban Conference West Division team. The Knights placed freshman Olivia Hurt, Tess Reardon, Tessa Langan and Kaitlyn Grady on the all-conference team. IC Catholic Prep finished the season 13-8-3 overall and lost to eventual Class 1A state-champion Wheaton Academy in the regional finals. “We had a great season overall,” said IC Catholic Prep interim coach Tom Schergen, who also is the school’s athletic director. “I was very pleased with how we performed and what we did. We had a tough draw in the regional against the eventual state champion. We’re

a young team. If you look at our lineup in that regional championship game, nine of the 11 girls are coming back. We’re looking forward to next year and building on the youth that we have.” Schergen saw that youthful roster gel together as the season wore on. “Throughout the year we played more and more as a team,” he said. “We learned how to move the ball and play together. We learned some important skills and lessons that we know will carry into next year.” Hurt led the Knights in goals with 21. Grace Fuller added 15 goals. “The four all-conference players and Grace are some of the girls who really stepped up for us,” said Schergen. Freshman Gabby Smola was cited for her strong play in goal. “She is a freshman who stepped into the goal in the second half of the season

and did a great job,” said Schergen. “We’re looking for great things from her moving forward. She kept us in games.” Schergen said no decision has been made yet on the girls soccer coaching position at the school. Coach Tod Privett took the spring off to focus on watching his two children play athletics at York. Overall, Schergen likes the direc-

tion the program is headed. “The program is in good shape,” he said. Out of the 22 players listed on the IC Catholic Prep roster at the beginning of the season, only four were seniors (12 were either sophomores or freshmen). That senior group included Maeve Gillette, Ashley O’Brien, Emma Hendricks and Courtney McCarthy.

York’s Sidoryk earns academic All-American status Seven York girls lacrosse players receive all-state recognition By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

York boys lacrosse player Kenny Sidoryk was recently named to the academic All-American team by US Lacrosse. In a letter sent to him by the Illinois chapter of US Lacrosse, it was noted there are about 2,200 varsity boys lacrosse players in the state and about 1,100 are seniors. Sidoryk was one of 22 qualified individuals who applied for the honor in the state and based on national guidelines, Illinois received 12 berths on the All-American list. Sidoryk was scheduled to be given the award during halftime of the boys lacrosse state title game at Montini earlier this month. York girls lacrosse An impressive seven York girls lacrosse players earned all-state recognition recently. Lauren Anderson (midfielder), Emma Baubly (midfielder), Hannah Fleckenstein (defense), Ellie Grubbs (attack), Zoe Lawless (attack), Emily Siegenthaler (midfielder) and Katie Toohey (defense) all were named to the Illinois High School Wom-

en’s Lacrosse Association all-state honorable-mention team. Also, Anderson, Lawless, Fleckenstein, Baubly and Siegenthaler were named to the all-West Suburban Conference team. Toohey was an at-large all-conference selection. York boys lacrosse The York boys lacrosse team placed five players on the all-West Suburban Conference first team. That group includes Jack Buckley (attack), Cam Dobrotka (defense), Tommy Angelos (goalie), Grujic Matteo (long-stick midfielder) and Quinn Gaughan (midfielder). Grant Zielke (attack) and Sam Rasnic (defense) were named to the all-WSC second team, while Sidoryk (midfielder) earned all-WSC honorable-mention accolades. IC Catholic Prep boys lacrosse The IC Catholic Prep boys lacrosse team had two players earn all-Suburban Christian Conference first-team honors.

Four York baseball players earn all-conference honors Dukes finish spring season with 19 wins

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Four York baseball players were rewarded for their strong seasons on the diamond. Matt Riecker, Cam Fowler, Phil Schlitter and Joe Polowsky were named to the all-West Suburban Conference Silver Division team. “They all were so important to our success this spring in their own ways,” said York coach Dave Kalal. “Matt and Joe had a lot of appearances and innings on the mound. Both of them had 11 appearances. Offensively, Matt along with Cam were our leaders this season.” York finished the spring season 19-15 overall and 10-8 in WSC Silver play. “We had a good season,” said Kalal. “We had a great group of kids who were a lot of fun to be around. We had good team chemistry and that made it even more enjoyable for everybody.” York saw its season come to an end in the semifinals of the Class 4A Lane Tech regional in Chicago. “We knew they were going to be good,” said Kalal. “They had won more than 25 games and had won the city championship. It was on

their home field and we knew they would come out with energy. We couldn’t make plays and we didn’t make pitches. That ties back to that consistency thing I talked about earlier in the season of coming ready to play day in and day out. The kids were disappointed, not only losing the first game in the regional, but because we had two phenomenal practices prior to that game. We got a lot accomplished in those practices. The kids were ready. We just came out a little flat that day against Lane Tech. That’s high-school baseball.” At one point in the season York went 10-2 during a 12-game stretch. “That’s how our season went. We won 10 of 12 at one point and beat some good teams and then after that we had a stretch where we were up and down,” said Kalal. Fowler finished the season hitting .366 with a .496 on-base percentage. With runners in scoring position, Fowler was equally up to the task, hitting .571. “Cam had a great season for us,” said Kalal. “It was fun to watch him this year. He had 37 hits, 25 walks, 30 runs and 20 RBI and was our leadoff guy the whole year. He was phenomenal for us. He set the tone day in and day out.” Riecker hit .391 with a .426 onbase percentage. He had 45 hits, including nine doubles, to go with 25 runs scored and 18 RBI. “Cam and Matt were so consistent for us this year,” said Kalal. “Matt

also was 5-2 on the mound for us this year. Those are two pretty good seasons. One kid has 45 hits and the other has 37 hits. That’s being pretty productive and pretty consistent the whole year.” Kalal also lauded the efforts of three-year varsity player Schlitter. He ended with 11 walks and 19 RBI. “Phil was another big contributor for us,” said Kalal. “All 10 seniors on the team contributed and we got seasons out of some that we didn’t expect due to their work ethic and getting in the weight room and getting stronger and gaining more confidence. It showed on the field. It was a really great group of seniors. Every senior class brings something different to the table. This group had good leaders. We brought up some underclassmen and they welcomed them to the team and showed them the way and showed them how to practice, which is one of the important things nobody notices most of the time.” Other key contributors included right-fielder Marc Thieme, Frank Romano at second base, Josh Hovance and Cole Miller. Romano hit .306 and Hovance batted .290. Miller was a key cog on the pitching staff. York opened the 2016 summer season with a pair of losses to Wheaton North. The Dukes were scheduled to play Willowbrook, Benet Academy and Leyden this week in summer play.

sion III players who participated in a USA Division III volleyball tour of Brazil. Rogers joined a group of nine other women from eight different colleges and universities for the tour, which started earlier this month. “This is a once in a lifetime experience,” Rogers told the college’s athletics website. “I’ve had a solid foundation of support to help me get there. I’m excited to see what I can learn and bring back to the team next fall.” Rogers competed in contests held in Jundiai, Valinhos and Rio de Janeiro. Team USA competed against top U-22 club teams from Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

That’s what happens when you are part of a rarer and rarer threesport student-athlete club. And Foley’s commitment to academics and athletic at York recently was recognized after the York Athletic Boosters Club named her the school’s senior female athlete of the year. Foley was a four-year performer in girls golf, basketball and soccer (where she played goalie). “The award means a lot,” said Foley. “I worked hard in all my sports. It’s great to be appreciated by my teammates and coaches. I was really surprised when I won it. There are so many great athletes in our school who go and play in college. To be recognized as one of the best is humbling. It has taken a bit of getting COURTERSY PHOTO The Elmhurst Independent used to.” York graduate Ellen Foley (shown playFoley said balancing ing goalie in 2016 for the Dukes) was the books with sports recently named Female Athlete of the has never been an issue.

(Continued from page 39)

Foley couldn’t pick a sport that she calls her favorite. “Whatever is in season,” she said. “It would be hard to choose one over the other.” Foley said York athletics taught her the importance of teammates. “Teammates are very important,” she said. “Even though golf was more of an individual sport, all the sports I played were very team-oriented. If you were going through a hard time you knew you had your teammates there to pick you up. To be able to have that experience with my teammates made it all the more better.” Foley qualified for the state golf meet as a senior. “I was very shocked when I made it,” she said. “It was not something I planned. It was cool that I played well. I just wanted to do my best in sectionals. Making it to state was icing on the cake for the season.” Foley also thanked the various coaches

she had during her time at York. “I loved the coaches at York,” she said. “They really pushed me to be better not only as an athlete and student, but as a person. I can’t thank them enough for that.” Foley is headed to Notre Dame to study environmental science. “My dad works with renewable energy and I always heard him talk about it,” she said. “I took an advanced-placement environmental science class at York and loved it. I thought it was something I could pursue in college and beyond.” Foley was a high-honor-roll student at York. Beyond academics and athletics, Foley points to one other major memory from her time at the school. “I was able to play with some of my best friends every day,” she said. “I made so many friendships on the teams I was on at York. It’s something I’m going to greatly miss.”

JAW-CORRECTING SURGERY

Maxillofacial surgery, which deals with problems of the face, head, neck, jaw, and sinuses, regularly ranks among T. Boland theby top Jeffrey five reconstructive procedures performed year. Of particular Licensedeach Orthodontic Specialist interest to orthodontists is the surgery performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons known as “orthognathic surgery.” This procedure is used to correct a wide range of minor and major skeletal and dental irregularities, including the misalignment of jaws and teeth. When necessary, the orthodontist and oral and maxillofacial surgeon will team up to treat severe cases of open bite and protruding lower jaw, as well as correct a receding lower jaw known as “weak chin.” When deemed suitable and appropriate, orthognathic surgery not only improves appearance, but it also corrects functional problems.

Conroy calls on Governor to sign bipartisan legislation to fund service providers

Continuing her steadfast support for Meals on Wheels, services for victims of sexual assault and other critical state services, State Rep. Deb Conroy (D-Villa Park) is calling on the governor to sign bipartisan legislation that would provide emergency stopgap funding for human services providers. “Three weeks ago, the General Assembly sent the governor a bill that provides emergency funding for service providers without a single legislator voting ‘no,’” she said. “This funding is a lifeline for some of the most vulnerable people in our community. Meals for home bound seniors, mental health services and programs for children with developmental disabilities would receive emergency funding under this pending legislation and I urge the governor to sign it immediately.” Senate Bill 2038 would provide urgently needed funding for social service providers in DuPage County and throughout the state that are in danger of further program cuts, staff layoffs and permanent closures. The emergency funding would come from state funds specifically set aside for human services, which cannot be allocated until the governor signs the legislation. Despite the

support of more than 220 social service providers throughout Illinois, the funding legislation remains unsigned. Conroy is urging the Governor to listen to the thousands of vulnerable residents, social service providers and legislators from both parties and use his power to sign Senate Bill 2038 into law. One local provider affected by the state budget impasse, the DuPage Senior Citizens Council (DSCC), has for periods of time had to reduce the number of meals provided to home-bound seniors through the Meals on Wheels program. The DSCC has only been able to continue providing critical services with the help of federal money and some court mandated funding. However, the authorization for federal funding will expire at the end of June. Enacting this legislation would help protect DSCC and other social service providers against putting federal dollars at risk. “Signing this legislation is vital to thousands of seniors that we serve every day, it is simply common sense,” said Marylin Krolak, director of the DuPage Senior Citizens Council. “We appreciate the bipartisan work that has moved this legislation to the governor’s desk and now it needs to be signed.”
