Elmhurst Academy’s Kindergarten class completed its school year with the launch of the “Go-Nuts Bakery,” a year-long business project that prompted the young students to think like entrepreneurs. The students celebrated this achievement with the live-selling of their “Go-Nuts” donuts at Elmhurst Academy’s Earthfest. The students took on several roles including research, touring commercial kitchens, learning about tools and determining if foods are healthy or not. Other students took part in advertising and marketing, including creating their own jingle.

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

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

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

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

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

Bi-partisan group calls for Auditor General to step down amid investigations Senator: taxpayers have seen enough scandal, need government they can trust By Dee Longfellow For The Independent

ELMHURST — On Thursday, June 2, a bi-partisan group of more than 20 legislators, including State Representative Grant Wehrli (R-Naperville) and Senator Dan McConchie (R-Hawthorn Woods), is urging Illinois Auditor General Frank Mautino to take an unpaid leave of absence while numerous investigations persist into irregular campaign expenditures and reporting procedures dating back to his time in the Illinois House of Representatives. The legislators stressed that Mautino cannot effectively do his job while under a lingering cloud of suspicion. “I joined my colleagues today in demanding answers from Auditor General Frank Mautino on his highly irregular campaign account spending,” said McConchie. “For months we have formally asked him to pro-

vide answers, but he has yet to do so. Republican efforts to call on Frank Mautino to step aside have now turned into a bipartisan one. He cannot effectively do his job while he’s defending himself against these charges.” According to a press release, a group of 12 legislators from the Illinois House sent an initial request for answers to Auditor General Mautino on February 1, asking for a reply within ten days. On Feb. 9, Maustino advised the group that he needed more time to respond to their concerns, so the deadline was extended to Feb 25. Mautino replied that he had retained a legal firm to assist him and would be working ‘…during the next few weeks in order to respond to your letter.’ In May, legislators sent yet another request to Mautino who said at that time that the issued was expected to be resolved by the State Board of Elections. Since that time, however, the matter has reportedly grown into a federal investigation “The Auditor General is charged with being the taxpayers’ watchdog against fraud and waste, and Frank Mautino can’t possibly fulfill those duties while he’s under numerous investigations,” Wehrli said. “Illinois taxpayers have seen enough scandal. They need government they can trust. For the integrity of

the office of Auditor General, we are demanding Frank Mautino’s immediate assurance that he will step aside until the investigations are conclud-

ed.” On June 2, a growing group of 21 legislators from both the House and Senate demanded in writing that Auditor General

Time to get off electric aggregation: Finance Chair Residents advised to switch back to ComEd for lower energy rates By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — According to Alderman Kevin York (4th Ward), who serves as Chairman of the City’s Finance Committee, it’s time for Elmhurst homeowners to move away from electric aggregation and sign back up with ComEd. “The electric aggregation program has realized about $3.7 million in savings for the City of Elmhurst,” York said at a City Council meeting on Monday, June 6 at Elmhurst City Hall. “The average homeowner has seen about a $250 decrease in their electric bill due to the aggregation program.” An Electric Aggregation Program is a system in which a municipality is authorized to negotiate power rates for residents’ home electric bills. That has worked to the advantage of the City as well as its residents, but it’s time to get off the program because ComEd’s new rates are more advantageous, York said. According to a release, the City last renewed the aggregation pricing in the summer of 2014, after which it entered into a three-year agreement with Constellation Energy Services (CES) with a fixed rate of 7.51 cents per kWh through August of 2017. Since 2014, many commodities have seen an “unprecedented drop,” resulting in decreases of as much as

Due to several variables, ComEd’s rate will range from 5.69 to 6.808 cents through June, 2017. “Given the decrease in ComEd’s rate effective June, 2016, residents and small businesses who are part of the City’s aggregation with Constellation Energy Services should switch back to ComEd in order reduce the cost of the energy supply portion of the bill,” the release said.

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

Search for Elmhurst bank robber ends with suspect’s suicide Subject was resident of Villa Park By Dee Longfellow For The Independent

EMHURST — On Thursday, May 26, the search for the suspect in the robbery of the Inland Bank on Spring Road in Elmhurst ended when the subject shot and killed himself in front of a police officer in Hillside near Proviso West High School. The incident took place at about 4:30 p.m.

According to reports, a Hillside police officer spotted a man who fit the description of a suspect in the robbery of the Inland Bank at 239 Spring Road in Elmhurst. The man was walking on the 200 block of No. Wolf Road near Proviso West High School, when the officer approached him. At that time, the suspect reportedly pulled out a gun and fired one shot into his own head, police said. The man has been identified as Christopher Stephen, a resident of Villa Park.

On Wednesday, May 25, Lincoln Elementary and the Madison Early Childhood Center, two public schools in Elmhurst School District 204, were placed on lockdown while police searched the area after Inland Bank on Spring Road in Elmhurst had reported a robbery. About 3 p.m., the lockdown was lifted and the perimeter was released. The investigation continued by not only the Elmhurst and Hillside police departments but also the FBI and U.S. Marshals.

expertise ranging from planning to project oversight to water quality research.

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

Defining character

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

Jill Pertler SLICES OF LIFE

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

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

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

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

Birds of different feathers can flock together

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

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

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

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

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

Park Board News

Here’s what’s happening at the Elmhurst Park District By Chris Fox For The Elmhurst Independent

The Elmhurst Park District Board held a regular meeting on May 25 at the district’s administrative building at 375 W. First Street. Commissioner Doug Ennis was absent from the meeting. There were no public comments. Accounting firm performs audit of Sugar Creek Board members voted unanimously to accept the audited financial statements for Sugar Creek Golf Course for the year ending Dec. 31, 2015. The Elmhurst Park District and the Village of Villa Park jointly operate the golf course. The accounting firm Selden Fox, Ltd., of Oak Brook completed the audit. Lauterbach and Amen, which is the auditor for the Elmhurst Park District and the Village of Villa Park, used to serve as the auditor of the golf course. Lauterbach and Amen resigned as the auditor of the golf course to allow for a more independent review. Selden Fox was selected as the auditor for Sugar Creek Golf Course for the years ending 2015, 2016 and 2017. Selden Fox’s audit of the golf course indicate that the golf course reported net assets of about $805,000 at the end of 2015. That amount is an increase of about $125,000 from the end of 2014. According to the golf course’s financial statements, the golf course owed the Elmhurst Park District about $1 million as of Dec. 31, 2015. The course owed the Village of Villa Park about $165,000 as of the same date. The park district loaned the golf course about $104,000 in 2015. The golf course paid back nearly the entire amount--paying back about $103,500. The golf course’s total debt at the end of 2015 stood at about $2.6 million. In addition to owing the park district about $1 million, the golf course owes the district about $660,000 related to a debt certificate issued by the park district for golf course improvements. The debt certificates are due in annual installments of $87,500 to $120,000 plus interest through maturity in December of 2022. The course had total operating revenues of about $1 million in 2015, and total operating expenses of about $875,000. Park District audit approved;

net assets about $42.9 million Board members also voted unanimously to accept the audited financial statements for the Elmhurst Park District for 2015. Lauterbach and Amen of Warrenville conducted the park district’s audit. According to information provided by Lauterbach and Amen and the park district, the district continues to maintain a sound financial condition. The district reported total net assets of about $42.9 million at the end of 2015. That figure represented a decrease of about $720,000 from the end of 2014. The decrease is reportedly primarily attributed to a a new pension disclosure requirement. Update on intergovernmental agreement with City The May 25 meeting included an update of the park district’s ongoing negotiations with the City of Elmhurst to reach an intergovernmental agreement regarding Golden Meadows Park. The two entities are working to reach an agreement that would lead the park district to deed the western portion of the park to the city to allow the city to build a storm water detention basin. Elmhurst Park District Executive Director Jim Rogers said the park district and city are close to reaching an agreement. Rogers said the park district and city will continue to hold discussions. He said the terms of an agreement could be ready for approval when the park board holds its next meeting on June 8. Golden Meadows was acquired using Land and Water Conservation Funds. The western portion of the park that would be deeded to the city (about three acres), would therefore have to be replaced with property of equal or greater value. The city would be obligated to replace the property. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) must approve an agreement between the city and park district regarding Golden Meadows.  The city has agreed to assist the park district in relocated the garden plots that would be displaced. Rogers said any potential construction at Golden Meadows would likely take place after the completion of this year’s garden season. Board meetings return to Mondays Board members voted 5-1 to change the day of the week

it holds its meetings from Wednesdays to Mondays. Prior to 2013, the board typically held its meetings on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month. The board approved a change at the end of 2012 to move its meetings to Wednesdays. Board president Vince Spaeth noted during the May 25 meeting that some board members who frequently travel during the middle of the week have difficulty in attending the Wednesday night meetings. Spaeth said moving the meetings to Monday nights would be better for his schedule. He also said that he had talked to Commissioner Ennis, who stated that Monday night meetings would be a better fit for his schedule. Commissioner Patricia Morissette-Moll cast the lone vote against the change to Monday night meetings. She said all commissioners knew when they ran for office that

the meetings were scheduled for Wednesday evenings. Rogers said staff would republish the date of the future meetings and put together a new calendar. The board will make the schedule change to Mondays for its second meeting in June. That meeting will take place on June 20.  Bid awarded to improve administrative offices Board members voted unanimously to award the base bid for the park district administrative office building exterior improvements project to Professional Paving and Concrete Company, Inc., of Glen Ellyn. The base bid is for about $53,000. The board also voted unanimously to approve two alternates of about $5,000 each for additional work, including the replacement of a driveway apron, curb and gutter along Highland Avenue and the

installation of grasscrete pavement at the building’s driveway leading to the garage on First Street. The main objectives of the project are to improve and enhance the front entry of the administrative building by reconstructing the stairway and repairing sidewalks along First Street and Highland Avenue. The park district delayed the project to 2016 to coincide with the city’s planned improvements on First Street. The city also deferred its improvement project for the area from 2015 to 2016. The park district’s overall budget for the improvement project is about $100,000, including the amount of about $64,000 to Professional Paving and Concrete Company. The remaining $36,000 should be enough to cover additional expenses, including landscaping and parking improvements.

DiCianni leads bipartisan effort to save life of two-year-old Kimberly Alvarez receives life-saving surgery for rare condition

ADDISON — Last week, Kimberly Alvarez of Addison received life-saving surgery at Philadelphia Children’s Center, thanks to a bi-partisan effort lead by DuPage County Board member Peter DiCianni (Dist 2). Several weeks ago, DiCianni was approached by the Pasillas and Alvarez families with a very challenging situation. Their two-year-old daughter had just weeks to get a lifesaving surgery for her rare medical condition and only one hospital in the nation was equipped to handle it. The real challenge was that Kimberly’s state-funded insurance had not paid for her previous five surgeries, dating back to December of 2013. Kimberly has severe Congenital Scoliosis and Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome. With this condition, the Alvarez family was initially not given much hope, they were told that her own spine would crush her lungs and vital organs, she would never be able to crawl or walk, and death was inevitable. That was until they found

Dr. Campbell from Philadelphia Children’s Hospital who in an expert on installing Veptor devices. These devices that act as an expandable cage allows for the growth of the child while protecting the body from hurting itself. With this device, Kimberly is not only crawling, she’s walking, smiling and now starting to talk. The device is good for about two to three years with expansions every six months or so as the child develops. Kimberly should be done with these surgeries by the time she is 16. “It was an honor to advocate for this young child,” DiCianni said. “I personally would like to thank Senator Don Harmon and the office of the Senate President, Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti’s office as well as U.S. Senator Mark Kirk’s office, it was this bipartisan effort that enabled this young lady and her family to get the life-saving surgery she so desperately needed.” The Midwest Council for People with Disabilities helped raise and match funds to help pay for transportation and hotel expenses for the family.

Enhancing the health of your family by Dr. Noelle O’Connor

YOUNG ATHLETES’ BACK AND NECK INJURIES Fortunately, back and neck injuries are less common among adolescent and high school athletes. Most injuries consist of ligament sprains and muscle strains caused by trauma, overuse, improper body mechanics, poor technique, insufficient conditioning, or not stretching enough. These kinds of injuries usually cause back or neck pain while young athletes are active and performing, and subside with rest. However, there are more serious conditions that can present similar symptoms, which makes it important for pain-afflicted youngsters to undergo a comprehensive evaluation. For instance, “spondylolysis” (a defect in the vertebra) and “spondylolisthesis” (in which one vertebra slips onto the bone below it) are common causes of back

pain in young athletes, particularly gymnasts, who twist and hyperextend their spines.

At YORK CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC, we have a number of tools for determining “where” and “to what extent” the bones of your spine have become misaligned. It’s important to realize that your body can “tell” us exactly where the problem areas are. Call our office at 630.834.8536 to schedule an appointment. Chiropractic care has helped millions of people. We’re located at 486 Spring Road.

P.S. The injury known as a “stinger” involves nerves stretching or compressing when the head is forced back and/or to the side). It is most common in football and wrestling.

Local magician receives Merlin Award ELMHURST — Magician John Caluwaert was awarded the prestigious Merlin Award from the International Magicians Society at the Drake Oak Brook Hotel, presented by Tony Hassini, chairman of the society. The award is given to magicians around the world who display outstanding skills and have made significant contributions to the world of magic. A multifaceted individual, Caluwaert is an attorney and a law professor in addition to being a magician. He graduated from John Marshall Law School with high honors, traveled as a musician with the USO, and found time to manage boxers Leon Spinks and Montell Griffin. Having grown up in Elmhurst, Caluwaert served as a member

of the Board of Governors of Elmhurst Memorial Hospital, and established his law firm in Elmhurst. Caluwaert has pursued his passion for magic for decades. He has published several DVDs for the International Magicians Society on the performance of closeup magic and has performed professionally in numerous restaurants and hotels. He also brings his magic show to corporate events and private parties. Last year, Jim and Tely Nagle restored and reopened the Drake Oak Brook Hotel and almost from the beginning, Caluwaert has been doing his sophisticated style of magic at the Sunday brunch, served from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Reservations are recommended.

About the Jaycees

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

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

Chamber’s monthly message explains overtime regulations President signs off on Dept. of Labor’s changes, which begin Dec. 1 By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — According to the monthly President’s Message, issued by John R. Quigley, president & CEO of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry (ECCI), President Barack Obama has approved the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) overtime regulation updates which are scheduled to take effective December 1, 2016, despite opposition from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Federation of Independent Businesses and the ECCI. With permission, a portion of Quigley’s message is reprinted below: “The DOL’s Final Rule focuses primarily on updating salary and compensation needed for Executive, Administrative and Professional

workers to be exempt from overtime pay. “According to the DOL, key provisions of the Final Rule are as follows: 1. Sets the standard salary level at the 40th percentile of earnings of full-time salaried workers in the lowest-wage Census Region, currently the South ($913 per week: $47,476 annually for a fullyear worker): 2. Sets the total annual compensation requirement for highly compensated employees (HCE) subject to a minimal duties test the annual equivalent of the 90th percentile of the full-time salaried workers nationally ($134,004); and 3. Establishes a mechanism for automatically updating the salary and compensation level every three years to maintain levels at the above percentiles and to ensure that they continue to provide useful and effective tests for exemption. “Additionally, the Final Rule amends the salary basis test to allow employees to use non-discretionary bonuses and incentive payments (including commissions) to satisfy up to 10 percent of the

“

Businesses are expected to shift some employees from salaried to downward-adjusted hourly pay to offset the additional time worked beyond 40 hours in a week.”

– John R. Quigley, president & CEO of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry

new standard salary level. “In a joint effort by the Legislative Branch to block Final Rule enactment, “Protecting Workplace Advancement and Opportunity Act” (Senate Bill 2707/House Bill 4773), cosponsored by U.S. Senators Tim Scott and Lamar Alexander, and U.S. House Representatives Tim Wallberg and John Kline, is being considered by their respective Congressional houses. It also directs Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez to conduct a more-

detailed economic analysis of the impact on employers. “Business advocates believe that the Final Rule will adversely affect small businesses, charitable organizations and other not-forprofits, including local chambers of commerce. “Businesses are expected to shift some employees from salaried to downwardadjusted hourly pay to offset the additional time worked beyond 40 hours in a week.” Quigley then went on in his message to explain the following: • Anti-Economic Development Legislation Despite opposition from the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, pro-union Democrats in the Illinois General Assembly are supporting legislation (Senate Bill 2531) and a trailer bill (HA #1 to SB 2604) requiring economic development commissions/corporations and other not-for-profits, including chambers of commerce, that receive public monies to include two labor union and two minority representatives to their governing boards.

• Commercial Signage Ordinance Updates The City of Elmhurst’s Zoning and Planning (Z&P) Commission will conduct a public hearing regarding proposed updates to the municipality’s commercial signage ordinance at Elmhurst City Hall on Thursday, July 14, at 7 p.m. The list of updates cover electronic signs, sandwich board and sidewalk signs, blade and bracket signs, pylon signs and more. The signage committee of the Elmhurst Economic Development Commission (EEDC), which includes Quigley and other city administrators, worked together back in 2014 to review the commercial signage ordinance and compile a list of recommended updates. The Chamber’s Governmental Affairs Committee at its May 26th meeting voted to recommend support for the use of electronic, sandwich board, window, blade, marquee/projecting and flag signs at the Board of Directors’ June 14 meeting.

Letting you focus on what’s most important to you... We’ll take care of the rest.

News from the neighbors McDonald’s moving out of Oak Brook, heading to downtown Chicago ELMHURST — According to a report in Crain’s Chicago Business last week, the McDonald’s Corporation is expected to move its headquarters to the Fulton Market district in Chicago from nearby Oak Brook. According to Crain’s, the fast-food conglomerate is reportedly in advanced negotiations with a company known as Sterling Bay to occupy the former Harpo Studios campus, which Sterling Bay had purchased in 2014 for $30.5 million. A Chicago developer reportedly plans to build a structure more than 300,000 square feet in size on Randolph Street to house the new base of operations. If all goes as planned, McDonald’s will join other companies like Motorola and Kraft Heinz who have moved their corporate headquarters to the downtown Chicago area, which has been a trend, according to Crain’s. McDonald’s boasts about 2,000 employees who work in their conglomerate center of operations in Oak Brook. Not only are the operations and global corporate offices there, but also the training center known as Hamburger University. Crain’s also reported that about nine months ago, McDonald’s backed out of a plan to move the head office into One

Prudential Plaza in downtown near Millennium Park in Chicago. At that time company officials took a step back and re-evaluated its options. After former Harpo buildings are torn down, construction of the new office building for the fast-food chain is expected to be completed by 2018. At recent shareholders meeting, McDonald’s CEO Steve Easterbrook was asked about the company’s recent activities. Easterbrook, who has been at the helm for just over a year, assured investors that the company is “leaving no stone unturned” in terms of better service. He has not only cut costs, but also sold more restaurants to franchisees and taken on billions in new debt to fund share buybacks and shareholder dividends. There have also been changes at the restaurants themselves. The company has cut down on the number of menu items, redesigned their packaging and begun offering breakfast all day. Easterbrook said the company also embraced the focus on cutting fat, artificial ingredients and fillers from its products. He also mentioned that the corporate campus, which sprawls across Oak Brook is showing its age. Buildings are in need of repairs or renovations and it is getting more and more expensive to maintain, Easterbrook said.

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

“

This is a simple way to reduce waste, fraud and abuse of valuable taxpayer dollars. Reviewing the pension rolls monthly will allow for greater oversight and accountability of where pension funds are going.”

The deal is contingent upon Sterling Bay gaining zoning approval from the city of Chicago for the site bordered by Randolph, Aberdeen and Carpenter streets and Washington Boulevard. According to Crain’s, Sterling Bay has been planning an eight-story, 550,000-square-foot building at 1045 W. Randolph St., branded as Randolph West.

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

State legislature adjourns without passing a budget Bellock: Bipartisan negotiations will continue, especially for most vulnerable By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — Last week, the Independent learned that the Illinois General Assembly adjourned on Tuesday, May 31, the day it typically does, but without any advancement on the state budget or the state’s other financial woes. Deputy House Minority Leader and State Representative Patti Bellock (R-Hinsdale), who is chief budget negotiator for her caucus, issued the following statement:

“I’m encouraged by the very meaningful progress we’ve made in bipartisan budget working groups in recent weeks While it’s disappointing that a comprehensive solution wasn’t reached by May 31, we’ve committed to continue bipartisan negotiations immediately with the goal of achieving a solution as soon as possible. Our commitments to the most vulnerable children, families and seniors in Illinois must be kept. It is time for Democrats and Republicans to come together in a spirit of cooperation and compromise to agree on a responsible budget for the State of Illinois.” The Illinois House of Representatives is scheduled to be in session every Wednesday throughout the month of June, beginning on June 8.

that eliminates abuses of the public funds that support retired public employees,” said Judy Stevens, policy coordinator for the BGA. “With the passage of HB 6030, Illinois has taken a step toward eliminating one of the most glaring of these abuses - money paid to deceased pension recipients. By requiring state funds to regularly identify pension recipients who have passed, the bill could ultimately result in saving millions of dollars for Illinois’ woefully underfunded retirement systems.” House Bill 6030 passed the Senate and House with bipartisan support and now moves to the governor’s desk for consideration.

Rep. Conroy hosts Coffee Stop, Ice Cream Social June 9 VILLA PARK — State Rep. Deb Conroy, D-Villa Park, invites all community members to share their questions, concerns and ideas about Illinois’ future at two upcoming community events. Her annual ice cream social will be held at her constituent services office at 28 S.

Villa Ave. in Villa Park. “One of the most important parts of my job is to work with my community and listen to the people I represent,” Conroy said. “The more I understand the diverse opinions of residents and get to know the people who come and share their ideas, the better I am able to understand their concerns and represent them at their Capital.” All of Conroy’s events are free and open to the public. Residents can always share their thoughts with Conroy by calling 630-415-3520 or via e-mail to: RepDebConroy@ gmail.com.

HUD, V.A. team up to house 155 homeless veterans in Illinois WASHINGTON — To help end veteran homelessness, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is awarding nearly $1.3 million to help 155 homeless veterans in Illinois find a permanent place to call home. The rental assistance announced last week is provided through the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Program which combines rental assistance from HUD with case management and clinical services provided by VA. HUD-VASH works to reduce veteran homelessness by providing funds for both the housing and supportive services that are essential for tens of thousands of veterans nationwide. “Supporting the brave men and women who served our nation is not only our honor but also our responsibility,” said HUD Secretary Julian Castro. Castro said the HUD-VASH program was already proving successful, having helped 111,000 homeless veterans to

“

find places to live. Veterans participating in the HUD-VASH program rent privately owned housing and generally contribute no more than 30 percent of their income toward rent.

Supporting the brave men and women who served our nation is not only our honor but also our responsibility.” – HUD Secretary Julian Castro

Stellar season

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

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

Catholic Prep dugouts in 2013. DeAngelis is a 1997 graduate of IC Catholic Prep and currently serves as the physical education/health educator department chair, assistant athletic director, assistant admissions director and assistant cross-country coach at the school. DeAngelis is in the process of completing his master’s degree in coaching and athletic administration at Concordia University Irvine. “Frank is a great guy and I am very confident in the direction he will lead our program,” IC Catholic Prep athletic director Tom Schergen told the Independent. “He has a lot of

coaching experience and brings a wealth of baseball playing and coaching experience and he’s an alum of the school.” IC Catholic Prep in a news release said it made the difficult decision to part ways with four-year head coach Zach Rodeghero. The release noted the change is a result of the baseball program moving in a new direction. “I want to thank Zach for his four years of service and wish him the best in his future endeavors,” said Schergen. “I am confident Frank will lead our baseball program to the next level. Frank’s experience as a player and a coach along

with being an ICCP alumnus will all benefit the continued growth of our program.” After enjoying a strong athletic playing career at IC Catholic Prep (then known as Immaculate Conception), DeAngelis played for Illinois Central College in East Peoria and Triton College in River Grove (where he played for Hall of Fame coach Bob Symonds). DeAngelis closed out his final two years at North Central in Naperville. At North Central, DeAngelis was a team captain and a two-year middleinfield/left-field starter. Prior to his return to IC Catholic Prep in 2013, DeAngelis

had been involved with baseball showcases, private lessons, recruiting, scouting and running camps around the Chicago area for a number of sports. His baseball coaching background also includes one year as JV coach at North Central, one year as a JV and varsity assistant at ICCP (in 2003 under former coach Jim Vera), two years as an assistant at Triton and more than six years with the Illinois Indians travel baseball team. He also was the head coach for three years at St. Benedict Prep School (2010-2013).

York’s Julian named senior male athlete of the year Key basketball and football contributor reflects on his high-school career By Mike Miazga Correspondent

Jack Julian had a pleasant memory jolt recently. The walk down memory lane came when Julian reflected on being the recipient of the York Athletics Booster Club’s senior male athlete of the year honor. Ellen Foley is the female athlete of the year and will be profiled in next week’s Independent. “It’s good recognition for all the hard work I put in the last four years,” said Julian. “It let me look back on all the good times I had.” Julian played four years of football and basketball at York and played tennis his freshman and senior years at the school.

Jack Julian, who played football, basketball, tennis and golf for the Dukes was named Male Athlete of the Year by the York Athletics Booster Club.

One of his best York athletic memories is his time on the basketball team. “It probably was the playoff runs we made in basketball,” he said. “We made it further than we have. And it made it even better that I did it with my teammates. We had a good time. We had some big names the last couple years with David Cohn, Frank Toohey and Jayvon Thomas. But everybody wants to play basketball. We always have a lot of talent here. We don’t just have a couple good guys every year, we have seven or eight. It gives us an advantage.” Julian also enjoyed his time in the football program. “I loved everything about football,” he said. “I liked the full-year workouts and playing nine games and trying to make it to the playoffs. All the guys on the team are best friends. I loved playing football and our new coach has helped turn the program around. We’re going the right way.” Julian said his biggest thrill in basketball was York defeating Glenbard West in its third meeting of the year this past season after losing the previous two encounters. “We held them to seven points in the second half,” he said. In terms of football, it was the final game he played in 2015. “We came back and won on a last-second drive and ended on a high note,” he said. Julian is headed to Miami-Ohio to study engineering. He said he may try and walk on to the basketball team but hasn’t made any firm decision on that yet. “I was applying to schools and my aunt went there and said she loved it and said I had to apply,” he said. “I went and visited and they have a great campus there. I love it. I’ve always been interested in engineering-related subjects. I want to keep learning those types of things.” Julian finished his academic career on the high honor roll at York. “I probably should have put a little more into the academics,” he said with a laugh. “You get caught up in sports a little bit. Sports are a big deal at York.” Julian said he had a blast during his four years at York. “It flew by,” he said. “I remember going to summer camp four years ago like it was yesterday. But that was four years ago. I had a good time. I’m glad I got to play two varsity sports. I got to do everything I wanted.” Next week: Meet York female senior athlete of the year Ellen Foley

Timothy Christian baseball team enjoys fine season By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — Timothy Christian baseball coach Jim Snoeyink listed two key reasons why the 2016 season was a success. “We had a fun time and the kids worked hard,” he said. And the result was a 16-win season and a Class 2A regional title for the Trojans. “We had a very good year,” he said. One of those wins was a thrilling 10-inning affair against Lisle in the regional championship. In that game Jimmy Allen singled and stole second base in the 10th inning and later scored the winner on Jimmy Brush’s single. “The regional was one of the more exciting games I’ve been involved in during my 35 years coaching,” said Snoeyink. “It was a fun game with a walk-off hit in the 10th. It’s a game the kids will never forget. It was nice to see Jimmy Allen and Jimmy Brush do what they did. They were our two leading hitters this year. For them to come through like they did is fitting for how they hit during the season.” Snoeyink had some high praise for this year’s group. “I told them after the season that in my 35 years this is one of the best teams in terms of being able to have fun and work hard at the same time,” he said. “We had a good time all year. They could enjoy themselves while working hard.” Timothy enjoyed the success it did late in the season despite losing key pitcher Carter Johnson for the last three weeks of the season. “Losing Carter was tough, but the guys kept battling,” said Snoeyink. “It’s a testament to how hard they worked. We won the regional and had a successful season.” Brush led the team in hitting with a .415 batting average, while Allen was right behind him at .414. Brush led the team

in RBI, while Allen was tops in runs scored. “Both of them were solid all year,” the coach said. Brush, Allen and Johnson earned all-Metro Suburban Conference East Division accolades. Timothy finished 11-8 in MSC East action this season. “As a team we hit well all year,” said Snoeyink. “We hit .323 as a team, which is outstanding. We had a lot of players chip in all year. A lot of different guys really came through for us.” Timothy also was bolstered on the mound by the likes of Shaun Van Tholen and Patrick Roelofs. “Shaun had two wins late in the season for us and Patrick Roelofs came through. He won five or six games and hit .320,” said Snoeyink. “So many guys stepped up. Brian Schiff also had a couple wins late in the season. Noah Marrera is a great catcher for us and I think he caught every inning this season. Josh Anderson had a good year in center field. Joey Davidson was outstanding at first base. He made one error and saved a bunch of errors by scooping a lot of balls out of the dirt. He also hit .324. Guys stepped up in so many different ways.” In the regional championship win, Allen threw the first nine innings of the game. “Jimmy was outstanding in that game and played a great shortstop for us,” said Snoeyink. “We hesitated to put him on the mound more because he was so good at shortstop. He will be our No. 1 pitcher and he’s only a sophomore. Throwing nine innings was great. He deserved the win.” Timothy graduates Brush, Johnson, Roelofs and Joe Bootsma. “Joe is another senior who did a great job for us in left field,” said Snoeyink. “We are going to miss those four seniors a lot, but we have a lot of guys coming back and we’ll have JV guys stepping up. We’re already looking forward to next year.”

high school and collegiate coach. There’s a good brand of baseball to be played here and we have the kids to do it. They’ve had some good success here and we’re going to work even harder to progress to the next level.” IC Catholic Prep won a regional title this season. “We have talent coming back,” he said. “It’s a nice

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

Continued from page 34 DeAngelis served as a K-8 PE educator and athletic director at Catalyst Circle Rock Elementary School in the Chicago Public School system, served as an educator/administrator at St. Benedict and served as an adjunct faculty member at Triton College. “This is a good place to call home,” DeAngelis told

the Independent. “To have the opportunity to take over at the school I played for is special. To have this opportunity is exciting. I want to uphold what people have done here before me and build up on it. There is a lot more that can be done. We have the right kids in the program.” DeAngelis said his coaching style takes from his play-

ing days. “For the most part, I’m a laid back guy,” he said. “You have to let the kids play. We’ll be aggressive just like the way I used to play. We’ll focus on fundamentals just like we’ve done here the last four years. We’ll build on that. We’ll be aggressive on the bases and at the plate. Those are things that have been with me as a player and

In focus

York’s Magnifico ends senior softball season on a high note

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ork senior softball standout Gabby Magnifico didn’t tinker too much with her approach at the plate this

season. But the one adjustment she did make paid off handsomely. Magnifico was a key part of a York softball team that won its fifth regional title in a row this season. “I’ve been trying to focus more this season,” she said earlier last week. “Usually I would go up and just swing. I’m focusing more and seeing the ball better out of the pitcher’s hand. We’ve seen most of these pitchers throughout the last four years. For me, it’s also about kind of knowing what each pitcher has by now. You know certain pitchers have rise balls and not to swing at certain pitches because you’ve seen her a lot in the past.” Magnifico said her preference has been seeing balls on the outside part of the plate. “I like the more outside pitches, not inside ones,” she said. “If they are always throwing on the outside part of the plate, I’ll move up on the plate more to get a better look.” Magnifico, who hit eight home runs this season, said she’s happy to have rebounded from a slow start at the very beginning of the season. “I had a little bit of a rough patch in a couple games toward the beginning of the season,” she said. “That focus helped get me back on track and do good again.” Magnifico came back stronger this season after tearing her ACL in a late-season game as a junior.

“I worked hard,” she said. “That process helped get me a lot stronger. I did a lot of squats and leg pressing.” She added that the increased strength may have a correlation to the number of home runs she struck this season. “I think the added strength might have helped with hitting more home runs than usual,” she said. Overall, Magnifico had a different attitude coming into her senior season. “It was time to let it all go and leave it on the field and see what I could do,” she said. “That mindset worked.” Magnifico is headed to Valparaiso University in Indiana to play softball next season. “They won their tournament this year,” she pointed out. “I like the coach there. This is her second year. I like the idea of being part of rebuilding a program.” Magnifico would like to be a physician’s assistant and wants to study health science in college. Looking back, Magnifico enjoyed this year’s group of teammates. “I liked that we had a lot of younger girls on the team,” she said. “You can help them through certain things. It’s what we’ve always done here. We had a lot of younger girls succeed. We’ve had a lot of fun this season. We learned a lot from our mistakes. We started off a little rough with errors, but we knew if we were going to come together we had to pick each other up. We did that and it helped make us better as a team.” Magnifico feels York is set up for further future success. “The seniors here won four regionals in a row,” she said. “I think we should be able to continue that with the girls coming back.”

Silverado Grill

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

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

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

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

Art Of Science Learning interactive fun comes to Art Museum ELMHURST — The Elmhurst Art Museum is hosting an interactive touring exhibition called Art of Science Learning (AOSL), which explores the intersection of art, STEM, innovation and community. Visitors of all ages will experience first-hand how art and science can address community and global challenges. The exhibition will be on display from June 11 – September 4. The exhibit showcases projects from AOSL’s Chicago, San Diego and Worcester (MA) Incubators for Innovation, where hundreds of scientists, artists, educators and citizens addressed critical challenges chosen by their communities.

“We are excited to bring the Art of Science Learning to Elmhurst,” said Jenny Gibbs, executive director of Elmhurst Art Museum. “Harvey Siefter and the AOSL team are doing really important work by quantifying the benefits of arts learning in developing critical and creative thinking. “Arts education produces verifiable growth in the STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and math) and is absolutely a pre-requisite for the kinds of innovation we need to succeed in today’s dynamic, global markets and to design solutions for the planet’s climate and societal challenges.”

intage dress collectors Ruth Thomas and Chloe Burke are the cofounders of Decades of Dresses, a program that showcases more than 300 dresses spanning the decades from the 1890s to the present. While each dress comes with a story of its origin, acquisition and historical significance, Ruth and Chloe have an interesting history of becoming vintage dress collectors. Ruth’s interest in fashion stems back to her childhood in Iowa where she loved to play dress up with the clothes her mother and grandmother sewed. She learned to sew on a treadle sewing machine, which predated electricity, and made all her own clothes starting in junior high school. She moved to Illinois for a teaching position and ultimately settled in Elmhurst. Though never a history teacher, Ruth always loved history – particularly the women’s suffrage movement. It was during her preparation for a reenactment of a suffrage march in Seneca Falls, New York, that Ruth’s passions for history and fashion came together. She purchased a white cotton lace dress from the Sandwich Antique Fair and thought it would be a wonderful idea to have a white dress from every decade. Her partner Chloe was born and raised in Elmhurst. After marrying, she moved to her husband’s family home in Berkley where she still lives today. Her interest in vintage fashion started after a career with Delta Airlines. Chloe was inspired to acquire vintage dresses to complement her husband’s collection of vintage cars. Her first vintage dress was a gift from her mother-inlaw— a 1930’s Sunday church dress with matching shoes and hat from a resale shop in Wheaton. Ruth and Chloe met in a ten-

Continued from page 50 nis group and soon realized they shared an interest in wearing vintage dresses. Their collaboration began when Ruth asked Chloe to model her petite-sized dresses and evolved into their highly-spirited, entertaining and dynamic Decades of Dresses program, during which they take turns modeling their vintage dresses as the other narrates historical and anecdotal details. The duo boasts a collection of more than 300 vintage dresses, in addition to vintage shoes, hats, bags, jewelry and lingerie, claiming to be a “no-kill shelter for old clothes.” The collection, which has taken over much of Ruth’s basement in addition to several rooms in Chloe’s home, is not reserved solely for presentations. The women truly enjoy wearing their vintage pieces as often as possible. Many of their dresses were acquired through donations, including what they consider to be their two most historically significant – a black lace 1920’s dress owned by Mrs. Wrigley, donated by the granddaughter of Mrs. Wrigley’s housekeeper; and, a 1930’s dress worn to FDR’s 1936 inauguration.

Their dresses also come from estate sales, flea markets and the occasional splurge on eBay when looking for a particular piece. Their loving care for each piece is meticulous, with Ruth utilizing her well-honed sewing skills to restore worn spots in any of the vintage pieces. The duo has presented to a wide variety of audiences including historical museums, libraries, women’s groups and sewing clubs, and most recently, the Elmhurst Garden Club Luncheon. They simply love showing their collection. “We do it for the history, the workmanship and because it’s fun,” states Ruth. “The feedback we get is very satisfying.” They love seeing people’s faces light up as they remember a family member or themselves wearing a similar dress. Also, as members of Questor, and international organization of individuals who research, study and collect antiques, both feel it is important to pay tribute to all the hard work that went into the creation of these garments.
