Ex-Bolingbrook Raider inks with Vikings

by MarK gregory editorial director

@Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com Former Bolingbrook High School and Ohio State University linebacker Tuf Borland will continue his football career with the Minnesota Vikings after signing as an undrafted free agent.

He joins the team coached by another local product in Lockport Township High School graduate Mike Zimmer — one of the few defensive minded head coaches in the NFL. “I just learned about that connection earlier in the process before the draft,” Borland said of Zimmer’s ties to the area. “It is cool. It’s a small world. I think this is a great fit.

“It is an unbelievable opportunity, but at the end of the day, I need to go in and show what I can do and work extremely hard and earn the respect of my teammates and coaches. If it is on special teams, playing linebacker, maybe even fullback. I don’t know.

Whatever the team needs me to do, I am happy to do. I just want to contribute to the organization however I can.”

Borland had talked to almost every NFL team prior to the draft, mainly at the senior bowl, and he had a good feeling about Minnesota.

“The Vikings were a team that I could tell did some homework before the senior bowl. They knew about me,” Borland said. “I spoke with coach (Adam) Zimmer, the linebacker coach, at the end of February or early March and I thought the call went well. I really enjoyed the time with him. I thought it would be a good fit throughout that process and it worked out that way. I am thrilled to be a Viking.”

At Ohio State, Borland started 31 of his 49 games, was a four-year starter and one of only two three-time captains in school history with former quarterback J.T. Barrett.

In 2020, he posted 48 tackles with 3.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks in seven games. For his career, Borland tallied 228 tackles with 19 tackles for loss and 6.5 quarterback sacks. He added one interception, two pass break-ups and two forced fumbles.

Borland was the middle linebacker on back-to-back playoff defenses, including a 2019 unit that led the nation in total defense. Borland was named the Defensive MVP of Ohio State’s playoff semifinal victory over Clemson this past year.

He was part of a linebacker group that sent four to the NFL this season, as Pete Werner was a second-round selection of the Saints, Baron Browning was a third-round draft pick of the

Broncos and like Borland, Justin Hilliard signed as an UDFA with the 49ers.

Heading into the draft, the knocks on Borland were his height at 6-foot, and his speed.

He heard it, but said it only fuels the fire to prove he can play.

“They can say whatever they want about me. I am this tall and I am not as fast as I should be, but I am confident when they put on the tape, they see a good football player,” Borland said. “I am confident in that, and I think the Vikings are, too.

“That is kind of the way the journey has worked out for me. I was never the most highly recruited guy or highly sought after guy, but when I get into some of these organizations, people really respect the way I go about my business. I am still going to approach things from a football standpoint the way I always have. I know there are going to be doubts if I can play at this level, but I embrace that. I almost enjoy those doubts and proving people wrong.”

Borland has made studying and football his career since he has been at Bolingbrook.

At Ohio State, he graduated with his degree in human development and family science and earned his master’s degree sports coaching.

He was a four-time member of the academic all-Big Ten Conference team.

“My parents told me in high school that I didn’t have to have a job. My job was to do my best in school and play football, so I worked my hardest in those two areas,” Borland said. “I am leaving Ohio State with two degrees and I feel like I had a great career and now it is time to move on. Whatever is there, whatever inches (are to be gained), I will find that through film study and knowing the playbook. I am going to pour everything I have into that aspect and carve out a role.”

As time has passed on Borland’s final game, a 52-24 loss to Alabama in the National Championship game, he said he has had time to reflect on his career a bit more.

“The turnaround after the National Championship was so short. The next day, I was down in Florida at my training facility, so there wasn’t much time,” Borland said. “But, over the last few weeks, I have had some conversations with my parents and looking back on it. I am so thankful I chose Ohio State and had the opportunity to be around such a historic program, great coaches, great support staff and great teammates.

“We had a lot of success. We won four Big Ten Championships, I was

Former bolingbrook and ohio state university linebacker tuf borland has signed with the Minnesota Vikings of the nFl. part of three college football playoff teams and had the opportunity to play in the National Championship.

It was a wonderful experience and it is something I will forever be grateful for.”

One of Borland’s teammates the last couple seasons — and a big reason the Buckeyes were in the championship game — was quarterback Justin Fields, who is drawing a lot of buzz in Chicago after the Bears traded up in the draft to select him No. 11 overall.

“Everyone sees Justin and what he does on the field — the incredible arm talent and speed. He has everything

there. What people didn’t see is the way he approaches his business in the weight room and in the film room and how hard he works there,” Borland said if his former teammate. “I think the most impressive thing about him to me is when he transferred in (from Georgia), we all knew how talented he was, but he just put his head down and went to work. I have no doubt he will be an unbelievable player for the Bears.

“At Ohio State, the pressure you get from a fan base is probably a lot like what you get in Chicago, so my initial thought is that he is 100 percent the

right guy for the job.”

If Borland finds his role with the Vikings, he would face Fields and the Bears twice a season as division rivals.

Borland is happy to be playing in the NFC North, where conference games are no more than a seven-hour drive from Bolingbrook, allowing family and friends to follow his career.

“My parents have been with me every step of the way,” Borland said.

“They have come to every game since I was about five-years old, so I am extremely happy to have the opportunity to play in front of them.”

Man sentenced to 12 years for attempt vehicular hijacking DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin announced that the first of two adults charged with attempting to steal a vehicle from the garage of a Downers Grove residence has been sentenced to 12 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Lamourice Shepherd, 22, of Chicago, appeared in court where he entered a plea of guilty to one count of Attempt Vehicular Hijacking, a Class 1 Felony in front of Judge Daniel Guerin, who handed down the sentence.

Last summer, two juveniles each entered a plea of guilty to their roles in the incident and received sentences of an indeterminate period of time not to exceed

their 21st in the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice.

A fourth man allegedly involved, Carlos Hendricks, 22, of Chicago is currently in custody in the DuPage County Jail awaiting trial which is scheduled for June 21, 2021.

On February 6, 2020, at approximately 4:15 a.m., Downers Grove Police Department officers responded to a call of “shots fired” on the 7400 block of Webster.

An investigation into the matter alleges that an occupant of the residence was warming up their car when they observed through the front window a vehicle stopped in front of the home with its headlights off.

It is alleged that two occupants of the vehicle, which was reported stolen out of Chicago, then exited the vehicle and began walking up the driveway of the victim’s house toward the car that was warming up.

It is alleged that at this time, two residents of the home exited their house and confronted the two men. It is further alleged that the men then returned to their vehicle and that one of the juveniles who was an occupant of the vehicle pointed a gun at a female resident of the home and fired one shot in her direction.

It is alleged that the vehicle then fled the scene.

A short time later, a Darien police officer observed the vehicle allegedly involved in the matter and attempted to stop the vehicle at 75th and Cass in Darien.

The vehicle allegedly refused to stop and the Darien Police officer continued his pursuit. It is alleged that the vehicle entered northbound I-55 at which time the Illinois State Police continued pursuit. It is further alleged that the vehicle exited the expressway and crashed at Martin Luther

lamourice shepherd King Drive in Chicago. The occupants of the vehicle, Shepherd, Hendricks and the two juveniles were taken into custody at this time. Police also recovered two handguns.

“This morning, Mr. Shepherd took responsibility for his actions on the morning of February 6, 2020,” Berlin said. “Violent crimes as alleged in this case can shake a community to its core, leaving residents on edge and worried for their personal safety. Thankfully, through the outstanding efforts of all the law enforcement agencies involved, three of those in-

volved have admitted their guilt and a fourth man allegedly involved is awaiting trial. I would like to thank Assistant State’s Attorneys Joe Lindt and Rob Willis for their efforts in ensuring that Mr. Shepherd will answer for his crimes.”

“I would like to thank the officers of the Downers Grove Police Department for their exceptional teamwork and dedicated service to the Downers Grove community throughout this investigation,” Gillette said. “I would also like to thank the Darien Police Department, Illinois State Police, and the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office for their assistance.”

Shepherd will be required to serve 50 percent of his sentence before being eligible for parole.

Members of the public are reminded that the complaint against Hendricks contains only charges and is not proof of the defendant’s guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government’s burden to prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Community Relations Unit acknowledges Autism Awareness Month with a course teaching positive interactions with police In acknowledgement of Autism Awareness Month, the DuPage Couth Sheriff’s Department held a course called “Interactions With Police: A Guide to a Positive Encounter.”

The highly detailed course sets expectations for young drivers with Autism and other communication and sensory concerns regarding any driving encounters they may

have with police.

After a brief introduction by Sheriff James Mendrick and Cpl. Terri Albright the teen drivers headed outside to the parking deck and participated in mock traffic stops.

The simulated stops included lights, sirens, varying reasons for the stop and any other scenarios the drivers could expect. In addition to the deputies making the simu-

lated stops, the young drivers were coached by a deputy positioned in the rear of vehicle being “stopped.”

Our deputies appreciate the opportunity to interact with these young drivers and their family members in a stress-free environment to give them confidence to handle a variety of scenarios and encounters they may have with police while on the road.

Silver Cross Hospital achieves ‘triple crown” for healthcare Silver Cross Hospital today achieved a first in its 125-year history: a place on the Fortune/IBM Watson Health 100 Top Hospitals® list, a 5-Star Rating by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and an A for Patient Safety by the Leapfrog Group – all at the same time.

The hospital’s “Triple Crown” for healthcare is not only a first for the 300-bed hospital in New Lenox, it’s an exclusive group overall – with fewer than a handful of hospitals across the entire U.S. achieving this level of excellence in patient safety, patient care, patient outcomes and patient experience.

Earlier this week, Fortune/IBM Watson Health announced the hospital’s ranking on their 100 Top Hospitals® list. Silver Cross was one of only 5 hospitals in Illinois named to the list.

Last week, Silver Cross learned of its second CMS 5-Star Rating.

A day later the Leapfrog Group announced the hospital had earned its 13th Straight A for Patient Safety.

“What a proud and historic moment for Silver Cross Hospital,” said President/CEO Ruth Colby. “To achieve this level of distinction is truly extraordinary and a testament to the dedication of our entire Silver Cross team of employees, physicians and volunteers. Despite the challenges of the past year, they never lost sight of what really matters: delivering an unrivaled experience to every patient every time.”

“Silver Cross Hospital continues to shine bright as a community hospital, but their commitment to patient safety and patient care truly makes them one on the nation’s best, as evidenced by these three national awards for excellence,” said Illinois State Senator Michael Hastings. “We are so fortunate to have this amazing healthcare organization close to home.”

“We are so grateful and proud to have Silver Cross Hospital in Will County,” added Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant. “Their leadership and staff have been nothing short of incredible this year as they not only faced a pandemic, they became an amazing vaccine partner and continued to raise the bar on patient care. Congratulations to all!”

“It’s my pleasure to congratulate Silver Cross Hospital on these remarkable and unprecedented awards for excellence in patient safety and patient care,” said New Lenox Mayor Timothy Baldermann. “We’ve all seen over the last year just how important it is to have quality healthcare in our area and as the Mayor of this community, I couldn’t be more proud of Silver Cross. They’ve brought nationally rec-

ognized healthcare to New Lenox.”

100 top hospitals® This recognition demonstrates Silver Cross Hospital’s ongoing commitment to prioritize patient-centered care. According to IBM Watson Health, as compared to similar hospitals, the hospitals included on the Fortune/ IBM Watson Health 100 Top Hospitals list had better results on key clinical and operational performance indicators. These include survival rates, patient complications, healthcare associated infections, 30-day mortality and 30-day hospital-wide readmission rates, length of stay, throughput in emergency departments, inpatient expenses, profitability and ratings from patients.

New this year, the ranking introduced a measure of hospitals’ contributions to community health with a focus on equity developed by a team of experts at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Equity and the Bloomberg American Health Initiative at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. For the ranking, hospitals were surveyed across three components: 1) assessing hospital contributions to community health as a provider of critical services for community health and preventive care; 2) identifying ways that hospitals contribute to community health as a community partner teaming up with local organizations to implement critical programs; and 3) focusing on ways that hospitals promote community health through their practices as anchor institutions supporting local economic and social progress. Hospitals received credit for meeting a certain number of best practice standards in each component as part of the survey scoring and the new measure led to a change in ranking for more than onethird of the 100 hospitals.

cMs 5-star rating The overall star rating for hospitals summarizes quality information on important topics, like readmissions and deaths after heart attacks or pneumonia. The overall rating, between 1 and 5 stars, summarizes a variety of measures across 7 areas of quality into a single star rating for each hospital.

The 7 measure groups include: mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, effectiveness of care, timeliness of care and efficient use of medical imaging.

The overall rating shows how well each hospital performed on an identified set of quality measures compared to other hospitals in the U.S. The more stars, the better a hospital performed on the available quality measures.

Some new or small hospitals may not report data on all measures, and

therefore, aren’t eligible for an overall hospital rating.

leapfrog hospital safety grade Silver Cross earned its 13th straight “A” grade in the spring 2021 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, a national distinction recognizing the hospital’s achievements protecting patients from errors, injuries, accidents, and infections. This is the 13th Straight A for Silver Cross, placing the 300-bed hospital among the very safest hospitals in the nation.

The Leapfrog Group is an independent national watchdog organization committed to health care quality and safety. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” grade to all general hospitals across the country and is updated every six months. It is the only hospital ratings program based exclusively on hospitals’ prevention of medical errors and other harms to patients in their care.

JACH rebrands as Lightways Hospice and Serious Illness Care new name reflects the nonprofit s continued dedication to lighting the way for families in Joliet, and beyond, with expanded service offerings Joliet Area Community Hospice, a nonprofit, communitybased healthcare provider specializing in end-of-life care, today announced the organization is changing its name to Lightways Hospice and Serious Illness Care.

The name change and rebrand will better reflect the organization’s continued growth, while highlighting its expanded outreach and service offerings, including an extensive serious illness care program, leading pediatric program and comprehensive grief support programs, along with its

exceptional, cornerstone hospice care.

“It is of the utmost importance to us that our brand reflects the unique care we provide, and we believe Lightways represents our longstanding, 40-year commitment to providing extraordinary, quality care to the Joliet and surrounding-area communities,” said Mary Kay Sheehan, Chief Executive Officer of Lightways Hospice and Serious Illness Care.

“People come to us in a dark time filled with unknowns. At Lightways, we provide unwavering

support and guidance to light the way.”

Since 1982, Joliet Area Community Hospice has served the end-of-life needs of patients and families in eight Illinois counties, including Will, Grundy, Kendall, LaSalle, Livingston, Cook, DuPage, and Kankakee. This year, the Joliet-based nonprofit, will add Kane, Lake, and McHenry to its service area for a total of 11 counties. The 40-year-old organization has specially designed programs for serious illness care, pediatrics, and grief support.

The organization has seen multiple advancements over the past year, further contributing to its incredible progress. Last year, Lightways acquired a new building ad-

jacent to its Joliet headquarters, which will be a resource center to provide in-person grief support as well as training and education for the community. Grief support is provided at no charge and is offered to all Lightways families and extends to anyone in the community in need of support.

A new addition is complete with 12 new beds that opened in February. When all construction is finished this summer, the facility will have 20 all-new patient suites that provide functionality and comfort for patients, families and staff in a warm and peaceful setting complete with a multi-family living and dining room, renovated lobby and business center for families’ use.

Lightways’ leaders emphasize

the organization will continue its long-lasting mission and focus on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and physical and stress of a serious illness, supporting families and maximizing patients’ comfort to help everyone enjoy all of life’s moments.

“It is very important to us that the community understand that we are still independent and nonprofit,” said Sheehan. “Our Joliet roots are tremendously important to the organization—they are the foundation supporting our growth and expansion.”
