Group working for change in Haitian village Gala taking place at 6 p.m. Oct. 14, at Benedictine University at the Daniel L. Goodwin Hall of Business in Lisle BY MEGANN HORSTEAD For the Bugle @BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com

Many people want to bring the change they wish to see in the world. Not everyone goes on to carry out this aim. When New Life for Haiti picked one place in the world to make it better, the organization set out to make a difference. The work of New Life for Haiti, a charity organization based out of Plainfield, will be highlighted during its annual gala, taking place at 6 p.m. Oct. 14, at Benedictine University at the Daniel L. Goodwin Hall of Business in Lisle. The theme for this year’s event is “Let hope rise,” and the evening will offer small plates cocktails, live jazz, raffles and a short program. “We’ve held the gala 12 years,” said Marnie Van Wyk, faith missions coordinator for New Life for Haiti. “The purpose is to fund our projects for the year. Last year, because of Hurricane Matthew, the eye of the storm passed through Haiti. Last year, money went to our seed program distribution. It’s a rural area we focus on, and most people there are farmers. Their crops were destroyed during the harvest and plantings were destroyed for the following year.” New Life for Haiti supports people in need by supplying food, and they provide them items such as

rice, beans and oil. In addition to that, they’re building schools and homes, providing sponsorship opportunities, setting up medical clinics, giving shelter relief, and running an animal program, which they use to buy goats for people. Most people of the Village of Marfranc, located on the southern peninsula of Haiti, live in huts with dirt floors where there’s no shelter, and they salvage what they can find to survive. Since Hurricane Matthew, New Life for Haiti has served as the sole charity providing relief in the region. Infrastructure problems prevent other organizations from getting in involved. Though Hurricane Matthew has not served as the leading cause for death in the region, issues plaguing the people include cholera and the threat posed by contaminated water supplies, which has led to loss of life. “There’s always the next challenge,” Van Wyk said. The thrust of what the charity does is rooted in education, Van Wyk said. “Last September, we opened our sixth school,” she said. “It was intended to be our model school. Haiti has an antiquated system; the five schools have Haitian teachers and directors that use dated methods. We found that many children went on not learning how to read. We conducted

training with American educators, and they spent time with [the Haitian teachers and directors] teaching them methods.” Students of Marfranc sat in on lectures prior to New Life for Haiti’s efforts. Classes previously held 70 children but had no books and no educational materials. Under the new model, class sizes are limited to 25 students, a teacher and an aide. “We are managing things from here, [in Plainfield,]” Van Wyk said. “That’s a challenge. We take several trips a year [to Marfranc,] and sometimes it’s our executive director, Fran Leeman, or its members of the board. We have three teams going in November.” Van Wyk said it is difficult to pinpoint how many people are helped by the charity, and stressed that all are affected positively. New Life for Haiti provides aid through its sponsorship program supporting 200 children, distributions of over 800,000 pounds of food, and services offered through medical clinics reach more than 1,000 people each week. “Haiti is the only Third World country in the Western Hemisphere, and it’s so close to us,” she said. “The poverty is something you’d never imagine unless you went there. Most earn $1 per day, and 80 percent of children cannot afford to attend school. The parents cannot pay for kids to go to school, so we started a sponsorship program. This is the thrust of what we do. It’s $29 a month to get connected with a child.” Van Wyk said the primary plan is to get the kids an education, so

Woodridge community sign installed In recognition of the contributions made by organizations supporting the Woodridge community, a sign has been installed at 75th Street and Woodridge Drive near Forest Glen Park. The sign also pays tribute to a historical Village seal and the occasion when Woodridge received the Governor’s Hometown Award in 2013.

75th Street Bridge repairs DuPage County Department of Transportation is currently working on bridge joint repairs on 75th Street. The Village has been made aware that the County anticipates these repairs to be complete, pending weather, by Friday, October 13th. Currently the proj-

ect is in “stage 1” which requires multiple lanes to be closed while sections of concrete and bridge joints are repaired. The County expects that by Friday, October 6th, this project will begin “stage 2”, which will modify traffic control and open another lane. Residents with questions can contact Tom Hardy, Project Engineer with DuPage County, at (630) 407-6900.

Hobson Plaza Shopping Center improvements Work started this week on improvements to the Hobson Plaza Shopping Center located near Hobson Road and Woodridge Drive. The owners of the shopping center will be replacing the existing parking lot, installing new landscape islands, and replacing the parking lot lighting.

they can support themselves. Proceeds raised during last year’s gala paid for roofing and education materials. “We have a top secret project involving construction, and a way to help children who are in dire need,” Van Wyk said, adding that she cannot yet reveal further information. That project will be announced during the gala’s short program. This year’s fundraising goal is set at $100,000. Last year, New Life for Haiti brought in close to $120,000. “The hurricane occurred days before the gala last year, and the

silver lining: people were generous,” Van Wyk said. “That was the good thing that came out of it.” The gala is open to the public, and tickets are still available. The cost is $75 per person to attend. “It’s gratifying to help people whether it’s medical, food or shelter,” Van Wyk said.

Medicaid still a target of healthcare reform Debate far from over; shifting to the states with an eye to funding BY TRUDY LIEBERMAN, RURAL HEALTH NEWS SERVICE What’s going to happen to healthcare now that Senate Republicans have failed to pass their bill, which would have replaced much of the Affordable Care Act? In particular, what’s going to happen to Medicaid, the government’s largest insurance program, which covers 74 million Americans? This is a good time to clarify what was at stake and may still be up for grabs in the months to come. Despite its importance to so many people, Medicaid has always been the health system’s stepchild. Many doctors and dentists have avoided taking Medicaid patients saying the program didn’t pay enough. Until recently, editors haven’t been keen to feature stories about Medicaid believing that their audience was not interested in reading about people most likely to be on the program – the poor, the disabled, kids, and seniors who needed it to pay for their nursing home care. Suddenly, media stories about cutting Medicaid and the loss of coverage to millions became news. “In the course of the debate, it’s become clear that Medicaid has tremendous public support. There has been much more focus in this debate than I’ve seen in any health policy debate,” said Shannon Buckingham, vice president for communications at the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington D.C., think tank. So what is this program that affects so many and will undoubtedly surface again either later this year or next as a political football? It was created in 1965 under the Johnson administration at the same time Medicare was passed. Unlike Medicare, though, which is a social insurance entitlement to which people contribute throughout their

working lives, Medicaid is a welfare program. Those applying for coverage must meet strict asset and income tests, which mean they can’t own very much and they can’t earn a lot of money. Everyone who qualifies is guaranteed coverage. The benefit package that all states must offer is generous, covering many services, including nursing home care and transportation to medical appointments. It pays for care given at rural health clinics and federally qualified health clinics. States can provide optional benefits such as prescription drugs, respiratory care, dental services, physical and speech therapy. Many states do. States and the federal government share in the cost, and that’s where the fight in Congress comes in. As medical costs have risen - with few controls on how high they can go - states have found that Medicaid is consuming larger shares of their annual budgets, often crowding out other needs like fixing roads. The federal government continues to pay more too. One solution for this dilemma is to change the way Medicaid is financed - from a state-federal matching arrangement into what’s called a block grant. Under a block grant, the federal government will give a set amount of money to the states. It’s a way reduce its healthcare expenditures while shifting more of the burden to the states to cover their residents who depend on Medicaid. Conservatives have argued for years that giving the states a lump sum would mean they could manage their programs as they saw fit. That’s why during debates on

Medicaid you hear phrases like “more flexibility” and “greater freedom.” But others argue that flexibility and freedom come at a cost. It could allow states to offer fewer benefits and impose restrictions that would make it harder for people to get care. The Graham-Cassidy bill that was the Senate’s last attempt at remodeling the Affordable Care Act called for block grants and eliminated the ACA’s Medicaid expansion program that had provided healthcare to those with incomes between the poverty level and 138 percent of the poverty level. This year that’s about $16,600 for a single person and about $34,000 for a family of four. The expansion had brought some 12 million people onto the program. The Medicaid debate is far from over and is shifting to the states. Several have applied for waivers from the federal government to allow them more flexibility. For example, a state might ask for permission to enroll Medicaid recipients in private insurance plans as Arkansas has done. While a private market solution might sound good, it could mean that people on Medicaid would have to pay higher deductibles and other cost sharing. Indiana has a waiver that requires recipients to make small monthly payments and maintain a savings account mostly funded by the state to pay for some of their care. People who don’t make their payments may be locked out of coverage for a time. Some states like Arizona and Kentucky are eyeing work requirements. Most Medicaid recipients, however, are already working. These potential changes raise important questions this last debate didn’t answer. Who should get coverage? Should we control rising medical costs by reducing healthcare for those who can least afford it? Maybe the next debate will give us the answers. How would you answer these questions?

ALL STILL

ALIVE

Benet Academy has made itself playoff eligible, but all local teams are still mathematically alive BY MARK GREGORY Sports Editor @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

Wins are always hard to come by in the East Suburban Catholic Conference – and if Benet forgot that, it was reminded Saturday morning in Joliet. The game was originally scheduled for Friday night, but a onecar accident knocked out power to Joliet Memorial Stadium where Joliet Catholic Academy holds its home games, so it was played Saturday morning. The game started off great for the Redwings as it held the Hilltoppers scoreless after four tries from inside the five yard line – the final play coming inside the one. “That was awesome. They didn’t give up and that was great to see. We are seeing some good things out there, we just need to get our offense going,” said Benet coach Pat New. “We have been sputtering the last couple weeks.” That offense scored enough to build a 14-0 halftime lead as sophomore quarterback Colin Gillespie snuck in from the one with 7:04 on the clock in the second quarter. That was followed by a 28-yard TD run from Bennett Hickey with 1:34 left in the half. The more experience Gillespie gets under center the better as he takes over for Matthew Boyle who

is out for the season with an injury to his throwing hand. “He has to get comfortable and it is just a matter of settling down and finding the receivers and working on his reads – and he misses some reads at times,” New said of Gillespie. “It is also just getting comfortable back in the pocket – sometime he rushes things and starts running too early.” Benet opened the second half scoring as well with a 22-yard field goal from Victor Karam to open a 17-0 lead. The fourth quarter, however, belonged to JCA senior running back Ke’Von Johnson, who broke scoring runs of 36 and 45-yards to make the game close. “He is really good,” New said of Johnson. “In fact, one of our alumni came back who is a sophomore in college and said ‘I remember playing against him when (Johnson) was a sophomore in high school and he was great back then.’ He is an excellent running back and some of the moves he made were excellent.” The loss eliminated JCA from postseason play, while the win made Benet playoff eligible. “Our conference will always prepare you for the playoffs and it is a great conference again,”

Mustangs sweep WSC Gold championships The varsity girls tennis team had a special day with a peak team performance at the West Suburban Gold Conference Tournament on Saturday, winning by 21 points. Going into the meet, the Mustangs had a commanding six point lead from regular season play. “The theme of the season has been the Mustangs holding themselves to the highest of standards and not accepting anything less than their best,” said South coach Josh Forst. “With this in mind, DGS set themselves a lofty goal — sweep the conference meet earning first place at every spot, a feat that had not been accomplished since the 1993-94 season.” Over the course of the day,

the Mustangs battled swirling winds at Leyden East and West campuses grinding to the finals at every position. At No. 1 singles, freshman Gerda Jucys defeated threetime conference champion Jessica Minkov of Leyden 7-5, 6-1. Fellow freshman Jillian Urgello took the title at No. 2 singles, while junior Kaylee Chang won at No. 3 singles The Mustangs’ No. 1 doubles tea of seniors Abby Davenport and Anna Buie also claimed the title, followed by juniors Alisha Macas and Lizzie Andonova at second doubles, seniors Kristiana Radakovic and Barbara Collins at third doubles and Cece Divis and Brianna Perez at fourth doubles. “It was a truly special team

performance for the Mustangs earning 80 points finishing with a 21 point lead on second place Hinsdale South,” Forst said. “It is a special feat to sweep the conference meet — something that has not been done at DGS for 24 years.” The Mustangs are not done shifting their attention towards preparation for the sectional meet on Friday where the Mustangs will battle top competition from Hinsdale Central, Hinsdale South, Lyons Township and DGN in what is arguably the toughest sectional in the state. The Mustangs are confident and hopeful moving forward that they can continue the momentum and successes of this weekend into the state series.

COLUMN >> DAVE SAYS

Putting money away for tot’s future DEAR DAVE, I have a savings account for my two-year old that has $5,000 in it, and about half of that is in gold. I’m going to save for his college separately, and give this to him to help start his life after school. Is there a better place to put this other than a traditional savings account? LAURA DEAR LAURA, First of all, you should not invest in gold. Gold is a very volatile, very dangerous investment. I don’t have a dime invested in gold, and I would strongly suggest that you not invest in it, either. If you take a look

at the life-long track record on gold it will scare you to death. For the time being, you can leave it all in a traditional savings account. But if he’s not going to use

it for many, many years you could move it into a conservative mutual fund. In fact, you started when he was at such young age, a nice, conservative mutual fund might be a really good idea. When he gets a little older, he can start adding to it himself from the money he makes from odd jobs and chores and such. After 15 years or so, thanks to your foresight and his contributions, he’ll probably wind up with a pretty nice chunk of cash. Good job, mom! —DAVE
