Police bring holiday cheer, gifts to local families VILLA PARK—Santa Claus is very busy in the days leading up to Christmas, and he could always use a few extra ‘elves’ to help with delivering gifts. The Villa Park Police recently stepped up to help give gifts to local families who might not otherwise receive any this holiday season. Members of the Villa Park Police Department and their families gathered at Walmart, 900 S. Route 83 on Dec. 23 with lists in hand. Accompanied by St. John’s Lutheran Church and School of Lombard’s comfort dog Eve, the group began shopping! Soon, carts full of presents and wrapping paper, each guided by a Police Officer, were being checked out by patient Walmart employees. The operation inspired plenty of cooperation from local businesses: Store Manager Dan Buncik even donated a full cart of presents and bicycle on behalf of Walmart. Villa Park Ace Hardware generously loaned a truck to help transport all the presents. Thanks to some generous help from an anonymous donor, the Villa park Police have been helping spread cheer to local families for more than a decade. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of presents have been delivered just in time for Christmas. This year, the Jolly Old Elf himself rode in a Police car to help deliver the toys, clothing and other presents for seven local families.

Villa Park to license tow services for police towing VILLA PARK—The Village of Villa Park, in compliance with Public Act #099-0438, has adopted an ordinance to license towing services that provide towing for the Villa ParkPolice Department. The Public Act establishes a procedure for municipalities that use a tow rotation system for police tows: The Village of Villa Park does

use a tow rotation list and will now require criminal background checks of tow operators, mandatory IDOT training and other specific tow regulations. Towing service vendors interested in participating on theVilla Park tow rotation list can contact Kim Drury at the Villa Park Police Department: 630-592-6104

Illinois residents finding the exits By Mark Fitton Illinois News Network

SPRINGFIELD — The door to Illinois continues to swing outward more often than it does inward. New data released by the U.S. Census bureau showed that in terms of domestic migration — people moving about within the United States — Illinois saw roughly 105,200 more people leave than arrive. Even when offset by a gain of more than 37,600 by way of international migration, Illinois still ended up about 67,500 in the negative column. With natural growth (births minus deaths) counted, Illinois

While most children younger than eight occasionally breathe through their mouths, most outgrow this habit. If not, the cause of open-mouth breathing should be by Jeffrey T. diagnosed Bolandand treated sinceOrthodontic its continuation can lead Licensed Specialist to potentially serious consequences. Mouth breathing can dry out the gums and tissue lining of the mouth, leading to gum disease and tooth decay. In some cases, mouth breathing is caused by a partially blocked airway, usually due to an allergy or enlarged adenoids or tonsils. While the relationship between chronic mouth breathing and malocclusion (bad bite) is less clear, the two conditions often appear together. The most common trait of those affected is an elongated lower face and a narrowed upper arch in the mouth (maxillary constriction). The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that the initial orthodontic evaluation should occur at the first sign of orthodontics problems or no later than age 7. At this early age, orthodontic treatment may not be necessary, but vigilant examination can anticipate the most advantageous time to begin treatment. To schedule a free orthodontic consultation, please call our office. Available by appointment, we honor all kinds of insurance and charge zero interest on our financing.

showed a net population loss of nearly 22,200 people, or about 0.17 percent of its population. Of the 50 states, Illinois was the top population loser. Other states showing a net loss of population were Connecticut (-3,876); Maine (-928); Mississippi (-1,110); New Mexico, (-458); Vermont, (-725) and West Virginia (-4,623). In terms of domestic migration, the only state besides Illinois to show a six-figure loss was New York at nearly 158,000. The Empire State, however, showed a net population increase thanks to natural growth and international migration. Illinois’ immediate neighbors showed smaller losses to domestic migration than did the Prairie State. Wisconsin had the largest loss of the five bordering states with about 15,570. All five of Illinois’ neighbors showed small net gains in population. Those increases were Indiana at 21,800; Iowa at 14,418; Wisconsin at 11,905; Kentucky at 12,475; and Missouri at 19,845. Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration on Tuesday said the census data “is another indication that shows Illinois needs to grow its economy and create jobs through the structural reforms outlined by Governor Rauner that include a property tax

freeze, tort reform and workers’ comp reform.” “Businesses — especially manufacturers — are ignoring Illinois as a place to grow their companies because of the economic climate,” Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly said in an email. A spokesman for House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, said the data from the Census Bureau offered no analysis, and he chose not to offer analysis. A spokeswoman for Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, said she was studying the data. David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University, said Illinois rugged economic condition is certainly one reason it’s losing population, although not the only one. For instance, Yepsen said, people should also remember that trends in domestic migration are running from the Midwest and New England toward the South and the West. Part of that likely translates to job availability, but parts are also likely attributable to better climates and to retiree movement Yepsen said. But the business and tax climate in Illinois is volatile, Yepsen said, and while “businesses don’t like taxes, they hate uncertainty.” Tuesday’s data shows that states posting big gains in total

net migration included Florida at 332,000; Texas at 271,600; California at 103,500; Washington at 68,700 and North Carolina at 63,200. In terms of growth by percentage of population, oil-rich North Dakota led the nation by adding an estimated 16,890 residents, or roughly 2.3 percent. Total population growth for the United States was estimated at 2.51 million. The South showed an increase of roughly 1.39 million people, while the West saw an increase of about 865,600. Smaller gains were reported for the Northeast, about 112,600, and for the Midwest, about 145,300. The data released Tuesday is from the bureau’s annual estimates on population changes, and the latest report takes into account the period from July 1, 2014, to July 1, 2015. Last year’s December report indicated Illinois lost nearly 10,000 residents from its population from July 1, 2013, to July 1, 2014. Tuesday’s data showed the Census Bureau bringing that number down to about 7,400. Note: An earlier version of this story reported Iowa as the only Illinois border state to post a net gain in population. The article has been corrected to reflect that all five of Illinois’ immediate neighbors showed small net gains in population.

College of DuPage Chairwoman Kathy Hamilton resigns abruptly By Cole Lauterbach Illinois News Network

After an eventful seven months of reforms and investigations, board Chairwoman Kathy Hamilton announced she will immediately resign from her position at the College of DuPage. She cited personal reasons in

a letter Sunday addressed to students and faculty. In it, she says, “It is with sadness … that for personal reasons I am resigning from this board effective immediately. I have enjoyed working together with my fellow trustees to build upon the strengths of COD and address its future needs.”

Vice President of Marketing and Communications Joe Moore told Illinois News Network that the college will have to replace Hamilton in 60 days from her resignation. Hamilton was part of the driving force behind the Glen Ellynbased college’s reforms after she was elected chairwoman by board vote in April. The board voted to fire then-president Robert Breuder in October for numerous alleged policy violations and nullified his controversial, high-dollar severance package. He has since sued the school, as well as Hamilton and other board members. Under Hamilton’s watch, the board also voted to close the high-end campus restaurant after it reported millions of dollars in losses. The college has been under investigation by its accreditation body for possible credithour violations and other financial and administrative shortcomings. As of Tuesday, Hamilton has not responded to interview requests.

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

Photography company donates food to York Township Pantry The York Township Food Pantry recently received some very good looking items to help in its mission to fight hunger in the area. The DeForest Group, Ltd. of Elmhurst donated a van load of non-perishable food items to York Township Hall on December 24. The DeForest Group specializes in photography for the food industry,

and the donated items were all used in recent photo shoots. “On behalf of our pantry, clients and staff, we appreciate the ongoing support of the DeFOrest Group to improve the quality of life in York Township and we are proud to have them as partners in the fight against hunger,” said Township Supervisor John Valle.

Tom Cullerton tells College of DuPage, ‘Stop infighting’ VILLA PARK — Tom Cullerton (D-Villa Park) released an open letter to students, faculty and DuPage County taxpayers calling on the College of DuPage’s board to quit its infighting and find a way to work together through the use of a third-party mediator. “In Springfield, we were able to set our differences aside to negotiate a bipartisan compromise to release gas tax money to local municipalities,” said Cullerton. “If we can work together, so can you.”

This week, the College of DuPage board refused to meet, fueling an impasse. The board was unable to conduct college business, such as discussing new hires and academic programs. “The students, faculty and tax payers of DuPage County deserve better,” said Cullerton. “The College of DuPage is a tremendous resource to our community. We need a third-party mediator to move us in the right direction to rehabilitate the public image of this fine institution.”

Dear Students, Faculty and Taxpayers, Throughout the last year, the College of DuPage has been plagued with scandal after scandal. The name of the university has been dragged through the mud without care or consideration for the students and faculty who have worked incredibly hard. Regardless of what the newest discouraging headline may be, students and faculty completed their work for finals, submitted and graded term papers and participated in weekly discussions. You persevered. The College of DuPage provides first-class opportunities for thousands of suburban students each year. Thanks to its students, faculty and staff, it remains one of the country’s top community colleges. It’s important to remember that when we discuss the College of DuPage, the students and faculty should not carry the blame for the administration and board’s misconduct. The educational quality of the institution has never been in question. However, it is true that the last year has taught us that there is a great need to reform the way our state community colleges do business and handle administrative decisions. This needs to be done to work toward avoiding similar abuses at higher education institutions across Illinois. Today, I call on the board and administration to stop the infighting and meet for the sake of our students and faculty. Work together to bring the College of DuPage back to the level of success our students, faculty and taxpayers deserve. If we were able to set aside differences in Springfield and negotiate a compromise on the legislation I sponsored to ensure local communities have the resources they need, you can too. Perhaps the best way forward at this point is to bring in an impartial third-party mediator for the College of DuPage board who will help fill this leadership void and move in the right direction to rehabilitate the public image of this fine institution. We owe it to current, past and future students, faculty and taxpayers of DuPage County. Sincerely, Tom Cullerton, State Senator 23rd District

Ciesla, a senior, was recognized during the Dec. 14 District 88 Board of Education meeting. Ciesla’s leadership in and out of the classroom has distinguished him as an outstanding member of the class of 2016. By the end of his high school career, Ciesla will have taken seven Advanced Placement (AP)/college-level courses and a multitude of Honors courses.

IC Catholic Prep boys basketball team making progress Reed stars for Knights in recent conference victory By Mike Miazga Correspondent

The IC Catholic Prep boys basketball team was making strides heading into the holiday break. The Knights closed out a stretch of three recent games against Metro Suburban Conference teams with a win against Wheaton Academy and a loss to Chicago Christian. In a 57-44 win over Wheaton Academy, the Knights jumped out to a 23-8 lead after the first quarter and led 41-14 at halftime. “That was our best game of the season,” said IC Catholic Prep coach TJ Tyrrell.

Austin Reed led the Knights with 28 points, including 17 in the first quarter. “Austin Reed was outstanding in that game,” said Tyrrell. “The players got each other involved. Everybody was doing something. We had multiple players with two or more assists.” Will Lyles added 12 points, while Troy Burrows had seven points. Garrett Cheng had eight rebounds. “Garrett Cheng and Matt Sutton are coming back from football and they both had solid outputs,” said Tyrrell. “Will Lyles did a great job down low and then Austin was the catalyst for us with 28 points and he also had nine steals.” The Knights then dropped a 56-53 MSC crossover game

to Chicago Christian. The Knights trailed after the first quarter, but used a 24-16 second quarter to go up 36-29. Chicago Christian outscored the Knights 14-5 in the third quarter and 13-12 in the fourth quarter. “Chicago Christian is 9-1,” said Tyrrell. “It was a good game. They are in our subsectional so there are playoff seeding implications from this game. We played a good half of basketball. Their size hurt us in the post. We struggled rebounding. We did a nice job running our offense and taking advantage of opportunities early on. We played a good game the night before against Wheaton Academy and we saw some fatigue set in on some guys, but overall it was a good effort.”

Reed had 13 points, while Lyles finished with 10. Sutton had eight points. Reed hit three 3-pointers in the game. IC Catholic Prep dropped to 5-4 with the loss. “Right now the most encouraging thing is we are seeing multiple players involved,” said Tyrrell earlier last week. “Our bench is engaged from the start.” Earlier, IC Catholic Prep lost a MSC West game to Fenton. “We struggled against Fenton,” said Tyrrell. “We did not come in focused and might have overlooked Fenton a little bit. The good thing is we came back from that very disappointing loss and played well and won against Wheaton Academy and were up 41-14 at halftime against a very good team. We’re up and down right now.

We’re still trying to find our rhythm and get into a flow. I’m very optimistic after the games against Wheaton Academy and Chicago Christian. There were a lot of positives to take away from those two games. It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish the season. It’s a process. We’re going to keep working on areas we need to improve on. We made some mental mistakes against Chicago Christian where we turned the ball over in some untimely spots down the stretch. But these all are learning and teachable moments. Our mental game is much stronger and once we have some leader emerge, we will be in very good shape.” The Knights were concluding play earlier this week in their co-hosted IC Catholic Prep-Westmont tournament.

Willowbrook girls basketball team looking for consistency Spada scores 20 points in recent game against Morton By Mike Miazga Correspondent

Willowbrook girls basketball coach Terry Harrell described his team as “up and down” heading into the holiday break. The Warriors sported a 4-8 overall record and 2-4 mark in West Suburban Conference Gold Division play prior to playing in the Wheaton North tournament. “We’ve lost some relatively close games,” said Harrell. “We’re playing good enough to get beat sometimes. We are scoring well and we’ve had stretches where we play good defense. But we have lapses where we are inefficient for four- or five-minute stretches where we throw the ball away and we fall behind. Typically we’ll come back from that but not all the way.” In action prior to the holiday break, the Warriors scored a 53-37 WSC Gold win over District 88 neighbor Addison Trail. Willowbrook led 14-8 after the first quarter and 23-21 at halftime. The Warriors used a 15-5 third quarter to pull away. Kaylin Konrath led the Warriors with 18 points (6-for-8

shooting). She also had eight rebounds. Danielle Velasquez added 10 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Josie Zabran had nine points and seven rebounds, while Jocelyn Trausch had seven points, six rebounds and three assists. Alyssa Spada also had seven points. Willowbrook out rebounded Addison Trail 40-30 and held a 16-2 edge in second-chance points. In a 73-68 WSC Gold loss to Hinsdale South, Willowbrook trailed 24-14 after the first quarter but led 33-31 at halftime. Hinsdale South outscored Willowbrook 19-8 in the third quarter. Willowbrook outscored Hinsdale South 27-23 in the fourth quarter. Velasquez had 16 points and five assists. Konrath also had 16 points (4-for-4 free throws) and six rebounds. Zabran had 13 points and six rebounds, while Spada had 12 points and 11 rebounds. Willowbrook shot .727 from the free-throw line in a game that featured five lead changes and three ties. “We scored really well against Hinsdale South,” said Harrell. “They were hot from the 3-point line. They shot 50 percent from the 3-point line and 42 percent from the field. It was one of those games where they got hot and being hot was good enough. They beat us in two key stats, shooting

percentage and the score. We took 20 more shots than they did. They hit their shots. We’ve played some exciting games but haven’t been able to close them out. We’re improving on a regular basis, but we have to play a complete game and not make mistakes in these stretches. We’re getting better. Our shooting percentage is up, our free-throw percentage is up and our turnovers are down. We just haven’t been able to turn that into a winning streak.” Willowbrook also dropped a 48-46 WSC Gold game to Morton. The Warriors were stung by 28 turnovers. Morton scored 22 points off turnovers and held an 18-8 advantage on secondchance points.

Spada led the Warriors with 20 points (2 three-pointers; 4-for-4 free throws), five rebounds and five steals. Velasquez added 11 points (8-for-11 free throws) and five rebounds. Milena Sogura had six points. Harrell said the team has received strong play, in particular, of late from Velasquez, Konrath and junior Grace Chantos. “Danielle has played extremely well for us,” said Harrell. “She played a lot for us as a sophomore and then tore her ACL and was out the second half of the season. She tore her ACL again just before the season last year. This is the first time she’s played in more than a year-and-a-half. She’s a

floor leader who handles the ball well.” Harrell noted Konrath was averaging 17 points per game in conference contests prior to the Morton game. “Kaylin has helped us, particularly in the conference games,” the coach said. “Teams are double- and triple-teaming Josie and Kaylin plays the other post and has taken advantage of that opportunity.” Chantos is helping out the Warriors in ways other than points per game. “Grace is averaging 3.5 assists per game,” said Harrell. “She doesn’t take a lot of shots, but she finds her teammates. We start four seniors and Grace. She’s been doing a nice job.”

Warriors recently achieved seasonhigh point total

plus several returning gymnasts not being part of the program due to moving away or early graduation. “We have 16 girls this year and 14 have never done gymnastics before,” she said. “It’s a total rebuilding year. Fourteen of the girls are completely new to the sport.” However, Nocek is thrilled with the girls she does have on the team. “They try really hard and they are great kids,”

she said. “We are trying to top our scores from meet to meet and not worry about winning and losing. We only have three girls on the freshman team and we’ve had to move some kids from the junior-varsity team up to the varsity. It’s a learning year.” Nocek has seen progress thus far. “Before every meet we get

Continued from page 13 into a huddle and I will ask them who is going to do something new today? Every hand goes up,” she said. “They are learning and achieving. We are getting beat up at the varsity level score-wise, but the spirits are high. We’re concentrating on other things than winning a meet.” Nocek told the team it would get treated to pizza if it broke a certain point barrier. That occurred recently in a meet against Hinsdale South. “They sure did it,” she said. “We try and keep it interesting in different ways. It helps keep the team moving forward.” The team is led by the likes of seniors Katherine Gibson and Jackie Bliss. “They are great leaders,” said Nocek. “They are really good kids and both are doing a great job leading this group. They keep things moving and they help each other every day.” Willowbrook hosts senior night on Jan. 7 against Morton. “Every meet the girls are doing something new,” said Nocek. “They are doing a new skill or multiple skills on events. Our morale is staying up. The girls are staying focused and they are happy. A lot of these girls wish they had done gymnastics when they were little. We have three juniors and two seniors who have never done gymnastics before and decided to try it late in the game. They said they wished they would have started this a long time ago.”

HINSDALE -- Musicians from the West Suburban Symphony present “fusion2,” a club-style show, on Saturday, January 16 at 7:30 p.m. at The Community House, 415 W. 8th St., Hinsdale. Five small groups of classically trained musicians will perform popular music in a casual setting, with West Suburban Symphony music director Peter Lipari serving as master of ceremonies.

They may be purchased in advance at 630-887-7464, at westsubsymphony.org, or by mail to West Suburban Symphony, P.O. Box 565, Hinsdale, IL 60522.
