State passes stopgap for higher ed. funding $600M allocated for MAP, state schools By jonathan samples Bugle Staff

nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @DownersGrvBugle

State lawmakers have reached an agreement on a $600 million stopgap measure to fund public universities and community colleges throughout the state. Gov. Bruce Rauner signed Senate Bill 2059 into law Monday – three days after the bipartisan legislation passed both the House and Senate. The bill allocates $356 million to nine public universities and $74 million to the state’s 48 community colleges. Additionally, SB 2059 provides $169 million for Monetary Award Program grants. “This unprecedented agreement among all four legislative caucuses and the governor is a big step toward ensuring Illinois higher education continues uninterrupted, benefiting students, their families, employees of public and private colleges and universities, college towns, and ultimately the future of our state,” Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, said in a statement. The office of the governor applauded the legislation, as well. Press Secretary Catherine Kelly said the bipartisan agreement shows that both chambers were able to put aside political differences in order to offer emergency assistance to universities and community colleges, as well as low-income college students. “We are hopeful the General Assembly will build on this bipartisan momentum in the weeks ahead as we negotiate a balanced

budget with reform for fiscal years 2016 and 2017,” she added. State Comptroller Leslie Munger said the $600 million in funding will come from the state’s Education Assistance Fund. “Those dollars will allow us to immediately pay student MAP grants and work closely with our universities and community colleges to ensure they have the resources they need to avoid further cuts and closings,” she said in a statement. “We will continue disbursing funds as they become available, with final payments being made in July.” Munger said she has directed her staff to begin processing payments immediately, adding that top priority would be given to students and institutions most in need. State Sen. Jennifer BertinoTarrant, D-Shorewood, said she is happy and relieved that lawmakers approved higher education funding, but added that more work still needs to be done. “I want to see a long-term solution that ensures students in my district don’t have to live in fear of their education being threatened by the dysfunction in Springfield,” she said. “It’s also imperative that human services agencies get the funding they need to keep their doors open.”

Fire crews contain massive blaze at furniture warehouse No one was injured in during April 21 multialarm fire By jonathan samples Bugle Staff

nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @DownersGrvBugle

More than 30 southwest suburban fire departments were called on Thursday to help contain a massive fire at a Woodridge furniture warehouse. Remarkably, no one was injured in the blaze, which quickly consumed a 700,000-square-foot

building at 2500 Internationale Parkway. Smoke from the fire could be seen as far away as Plainfield. “Fire fighters from about 35 departments from the surrounding areas responded to help contain the fire,” said Lemont Fire Protection District Chief George Rimbo, whose district oversaw the effort. “At one point, we had five aerial streams going to keep the fire from spreading to other buildings.” Officials said the district received an automatic fire alarm notification from the RoomPlace furniture warehouse at approximately 5 p.m. April 21. The blaze quickly escalated to

a four-alarm fire, prompting fire officials to initiate a mutual aid call to neighboring fire departments. “All the employees were safely out of the building when we arrived on scene,” Rimbo added. “No firefighters were injured during the incident.” However, nearby businesses were forced to evacuate due to safety concerns. Crews managed to extinguish a majority of the fire that evening, but Rimbo said several companies remained on scene overnight to ensure the fire was contained. The cause of the blaze is still under investigation. The state fire marshal was on

Family, friends of late Downers Grove North runner look to shed light on mental illness By jonathan samples Bugle Staff

nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @DownersGrvBugle

A standout high school runner and All-State athlete, Ben Silver graduated from Downers Grove North High School in 2011 with high hopes for his athletic and academic future. He received a scholarship to Miami University of Ohio, where he looked to continue his success as a cross country and track and field runner. “Ben was a great runner,” said Bill Bower, a family friend and former volunteer coach at North High. “He was probably one of the best distance runners North has ever had.” Silver, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia after his sophomore year of college, committed suicide last July after treatment failed to address an oftentimes misunderstood illness. “One of the problems with mental illness is there’s a stigma attached to it,” Bower said. “For some reason, people don’t treat it like it’s an illness.” In an effort to combat that stigma and help individuals with mental illness, Bower joined forces with Ben’s parents, Paul and Jaime Silver, to create a nonprofit organization tasked with doing just that. Ben’s Memorial Mile will host an inaugural event of the same name June 11 to honor Silver’s memory and raise money for two mental health organizations: National Alliance on Mental Illness and the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation. The fundraiser will feature an evening of mile-long walking and running events for adults and children of all experience levels. Ben’s Elite Mile will give experienced runners the option to compete against other runners of a similar ability, while an open mile and walking mile will open the fundraiser up to people of all ability levels. Additionally, the event will feature a themed costume mile,

kids’ half mile and little kids’ 100yard dash. “The event came to be partly because the mile was Ben’s favorite race on the track,” Bower said. “Hopefully, we can raise enough to support a couple of organizations that we think do some good.” Ben’s Memorial Mile has already raised $2,125 of its $10,000 goal, according to the event’s GoFundMe page. Money raised through donations and from the event’s registration fees will fund the Ben’s Memorial Mile event in June, as well as education and research of mental illness, specifically schizophrenia. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, schizophrenia is a serious long-term illness that affects approximately 1 percent of Americans. Because schizophrenia is caused by a complex combination of genetic and environmental factors, diagnosing the disorder can be difficult. Symptoms vary from person to person but typically include hallucinations, delusional beliefs, disorganized thinking, and speaking in a dull or emotionally disconnected way. Bower said Silver had not been properly diagnosed with schizophrenia until about a year after he started showing symptoms, such as paranoia and withdrawing from his family and friends. In Bower’s opinion, the negative stigma that goes along with this and other mental illnesses prevents a lot of people from receiving a timely diagnosis and proper treatment. “Our world has to wake up and understand that mental illness is a real problem in our society,” Bower said. “The answer isn’t to ignore it, but that’s what everybody does.” In fact, a new report by the National Academy of Sciences released April 20 found that stigma toward people with mental and substance-use disorders can have significantly adverse effects on

treatment and present barriers to a person’s full participation in society. The report recommended that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services lead efforts among federal partners and stakeholders to design, implement and evaluate a new multifaceted national strategy to reduce these negative attitudes, beliefs and behaviors. “We have to start to look for ways to resolve some of the issues and that’s what we’re trying to do,” said Bower. “We just want to make people aware and try to get people to understand that this is an illness and research should be funded to help cure some of the problems.” That’s why Bower said he thinks the first, and most important, goal of Ben’s Memorial Mile is to raise awareness of mental illness. In addition to helping plan the event, the former coach has reached out to a number of cross country and track and field coaches from schools Silver would have ran against when he was attending North High. Currently, 14 have voiced their support and pledged to help promote the June 11 event to their schools and their teams. “So far, the corporation’s been pretty good,” Bower said. During his last race with North High’s track team, Silver ran his best race of the year. Despite battling injuries throughout the season, he earned All-State honors in the 3,200-meter, taking eighth place with a time of 9:18.91. “I’m super-pumped,” Silver said after that race. “I was pretty aggressive and knew I just had to go after it.” Now, his friends and family are hoping to match Silver’s intensity in their fight to help others diagnosed with a mental illness.

Those of us who grew up in small rural communities in the 1950s and 60s expected to have longer life spans than our parents. The trends were in our favor. White women born in 1900 could expect to live, on average, just shy of 49 years; white men 46.6 years. Those were our grandparents and our neighbors. By 1950, life expectancy had climbed to 72 years for white women born that year and 66.5 for white men. By 2000, life expectancy was still increasing, with female babies expected to live to nearly 80 and males to almost 75. America was on the rise, jobs were plentiful, antibiotics kept us from dying of strep throat, and polio vaccine kept us out of the iron lung. We thought things would only keep getting better. So I was dismayed to read a story in the Washington Post in April that blew holes in those childhood expectations. The Post found “white women have been dying prematurely at higher rates since the turn of this century, passing away in their 30s, 40s, and 50s in a slowmotion crisis driven by decaying health in small town-America.” That “small town America” was where I grew up. I contrasted the Post’s findings to the claims made by all those politicians who have told us we have the best healthcare in the world and who point to gobs of money lavished on the National Institutes of Health to find new cures and to hospitals promoting their latest imaging machines. The Post found that since 2000, the health of all white women has declined, but the trend is most pronounced in rural areas. In 2000, for every 100,000 women in their late 40s living in rural areas, 228 died. Today it’s 296.

By TRuDy lIeBeRMAN Rural Health News Service If the U.S. really has the best healthcare, why are women dying in their prime, reversing the gains we’ve made since I was a kid? After all, mortality rates are a key measure of the health of a nation’s population. Post reporters found, however, that those dismal stats probably have less to do with healthcare – which we like to define today as the latest and greatest technology and insurance coverage albeit with high deductibles – and more to do with what health experts call “the social determinants of health,” such basics as food, housing, employment, air quality and education. Landmark studies examining the health of British civil servants who had access to insurance under Britain’s National Health Service have found over the years that those at the lowest job levels had worse health outcomes. Some of those outcomes were related to things like work climate and social influences outside work like stress and job uncertainty. In its analysis, the Post found that the benefits of health interventions that increase longevity things like taking drugs to lower cholesterol and the risk of heart disease, are being overwhelmed by increased opioid use, heavy drinking, smoking and obesity. Some researchers have speculated that such destructive health behaviors may stem from people’s struggles to find jobs in small communities and the “dashed expectations” hypothesis. White people today are more pessimistic about their opportunities to advance in life than

their parents and grandparents were. They are also more pessimistic than their black and Hispanic contemporaries. A 42-year-old Bakersfield, California, woman who was addicted to painkillers for a decade explained it this way: “This can be a very stifling place. It’s culturally barren,” she said. “There is no place where children can go and see what it’s like to be somewhere else, to be someone else. At first, the drugs are an escape from your problems, from this place, and then you’re trapped,” she told Post reporters. I recently heard the U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy talk about his upcoming report on substance use. About 2.2 million people need help, he said, but only about one million are actually getting it. Murthy wants his report to have consequences as far reaching as the 1964 surgeon general’s report linking tobacco use to lung cancer. In 1964, Murthy noted, 42 percent of Americans smoked; today fewer than 17 percent do. The Post story concludes that the lethal habits responsible for the increasing mortality rates is cresting in small cities where the biggest manufacturer has moved overseas or in families broken by divorce or substance abuse or in the mind and body of someone doing poorly and just barely hanging on. The Surgeon General has taken on an enormous task, but his efforts just might help the nation move its life expectancy trends back in the right direction.

PAST SENTINELS Lisle sweeps series from rivals By marK GreGory SportS reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_the_Beard

It is rare that in any one game, both teams can come out of it feeling good about its performance. That, however, was the case last week when Westmont defeated Lisle 1-0 in the opener of a two game, home and home series. For the Lions, the win was a big one as they were able to grab a hard-fought win right when they needed it. “We have had a lot of close games lately and it is nice to come out with a win,” said Lisle coach Trent Schalk. “It is nice to finally get on the right side of that and have some hope for close games. Our theory all along has been that if we keep having great at bats and keep sticking through it and it will turn our way.” For Westmont, the loss looked to be a step in the right direction. “If there ever was a good loss, this was it, because it shows the girls that we are capable of playing like this every game and being this team every game,” said Sue Zapinski. “This was, by far, our best competitive game as far as everyone working together. We just didn’t come out on top. We are a very young team and we started out rough, but we have been getting progressively better as they get more comfortable.” The thing about momentum, however, while both teams can feel it has it one day, only one can come out of the series holding the cards.

It was Lisle who took advantage of the momentum in game two, winning 15-0 in five innings. Both teams used different pitchers in the games as Lisle’s Anna Palicka and Melissa Ericson earned the wins. For Westmont, Kiera Aldridge was the tough luck loser in game one, striking out a game-high 11 batters. “Anna has been doing a great job and she has pitched the majority of our innings,” Schalk said. “Erica Krause, our catcher has been doing a great job and logging a lot of hours back there. Then, we have just been getting performances from everyone on a consistent basis. Everyone is contributing in their way. Some people may be hitting better than everyone, but everyone contributes and everyone is an asset to this team. This should be a good catapult to where we want to go. We just need to keep going in a good direction.” For Westmont, win or lose, there are lessons to be learned this season with the amount of youth on the roster. “We have one senior and a couple juniors and they have been good leaders for us,” Zapinski said. “Lauren Verdera is a senior and two juniors in Kiera Aldridge and Rachel Chorney and they have been anchoring us all year. We really needed them to step up and lead by example and they have been doing that, especially Lauren. Every game people are learning. We are working hard. Our goal is to win regionals, so we are looking at getting better and better each week.”

Benet having strong season despite injury By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

When a team loses a 6-foot, 7-inch player before the season starts, one expects the expectations for that team to change drastically. However, that hasn’t been the case for Benet. Despite losing the 6-7 Alex Yates, the Redwings still managed a 15-6 start to their season thanks to Yates’ brother, also 6-7, Chris Yates, to go along with others who have changed their positions and sophomores who have stepped up. “We’re a young team,” Chris Yates

roundup | from page 10 the shutouts. The Redwings (6-3-1) fell to Naperville Central 1-0.

BASEBALL Benet beat Marian Catholic 6-5 as Alex Tassos and Alec McEachern each had two RBI. Zach Strons picked up three shutout innings in relief to earn the win. The Redwings (5-8)fell to St. Francis 10-7 as Tassos (2 2B) and C.J. Brick (2B, 2 RBI) each had two hits. •Downers North fell to Glenbard West 4-0 despite two hits with a double from James Krick. The Trojans scored 11 runs in the sixth to beat Proviso East 12-

said. “We rotate four sophomores in and they are doing a fantastic job. They are incredible. We had an offseason injury and them stepping in and contributing has been huge for us. I hope we can keep it going and go far.” With both setters returning from a 6-2 rotation last year, the Redwings appeared set at the position. But due to the injury, Ben Mazza moved to the outside and Jackson Van Eekeren has been the lone setter. “Last year we ran a 6-2 and me and Ben Mazza were both setters. But things happen and we had an injury and Ben did a great

job moving to the outside,” Van Eekeren said. “It wasn’t too much of an adjustment for me because I was a full time setter for my club team.” The duo of Chris Yates and Van Eekeren has been huge for Benet, especially when both are in the front row. “When me and Chris are both in the front row, we love to run the middle in that rotation,” Jackson Van Eekeren said. “He is one of our biggest hitters, so I always love getting him the ball.” “That is a great duo,” Benet coach Amy Van Eekeren said of Chris Yates and Jackson Van Eekeren. “When

we’re passing well, those guys can connect and get some quick kills all the time.” While the Redwings may have needed time to adjust to the new lineup early in the season, they are happy with how they have played, especially of late. “We’re doing really good this year,” Jackson Van Eekeren said. “We’ve improved since the beginning of the yearend are picking up steam and finding out stride.” “I think at the beginning of the year we weren’t playing consistently,” Amy Van Eekeren said. “We set the tone coming into

conference and are playing better. The goal is to be in system all the time. We want to continue to improve and play great volleyball. By the end of the season the Redwings are hoping to find themselves right there with the other top teams in the difficult sectional. “We set our goals before the season and we want to go far,” Yates said. “We know our sectional is tough but we know after going up against teams in our tournament that we can hang with them. We have big players and going forward we think we can compete with any team in our sectional.”

2. Dalton Baran had two hits with a double, while Justin McCartney and David Guilano each had two RBI. Nick Taviana struck out nine in five innings, allowing two hits and one earned run for the win. Downers North swept Proviso West Saturday, winning the first game 21-0. Ryan Cantlin allowed one hit in five innings, striking out nine. Guilano, Krick (2 RBI) and Tim Brown (3 RBI) all had two hits, while Sam Condon and Tyler Rosen each drove home three runs. The second game was 6-1 for the Trojans (8-9) as Brown pitched five innings, striking out five and allowed one unearned run. Condon and Matt King each had two hits, with Krick picking up two RBI.

•Downers South fell to Hinsdale South 8-6 despite three hits with two doubles from Danny Oriente. The Mustangs beat Hinsdale Central 11-4 as Oriente and Tyler McCulloch (2 RBI) each had a pair of hits. Corey Vondra earned the win, going four innings, allowing four hits and one earned run. Downers South topped York 13-3 as Nick Stacey (3 RBI) and Oriente (triple, 5 RBI) each had three hits, while Vondra, Brett Riegler and Charlie Walsh (2 RBI) all had two hits.

The second game was an 11-5 win as Oriente and Ben Ficht (3 RBI) each had two hits, while Vondra drove home three runs. •Westmont scored six runs in the seventh to split the series with an 8-3 win.

Dave Says

Loan that converts to scholarship has low return on investment Dear Dave, I’m a senior in high school in Arkansas, and I think I want to study business in college. I’ve gotten an unusual offer from a small, out-ofstate school. It revolves around a $3,000 student loan program, where the loan converts to a scholarship if I maintain a grade point average of 3.3 or higher. Tuition at this college costs about $34,000 a year, so I was wondering what you think about the idea. Garrett Dear Garrett, I’m glad you’re thinking about the future. But this is not my favorite idea, because you could end up with a loan. In business, one of the things we look at is return on investment. If I can go to one place where tuition is $34,000 a year, but I could go to another place that’s in-state for about $7,000, the question becomes

dave says By Dave Ramsey

this – Am I going to get a five times better education or is my income going to be five times greater by going to the expensive school? I think most of us who have been walking around a while would say no. Your income will not be based on where you went to school, and it won’t necessarily even be based on your grade point average. It will be based on your ability to take what you learned into the marketplace, kill something and drag it home. This has as much, if not more,

to do with your initiative, your perseverance, character qualities and integrity as where you went to school. One of the great jokes in America today is that where you go to school matters. Some places may have better programs in certain areas than others, but is this particular college – which I’m guessing isn’t a prestige school, since you didn’t mention the name – five times better than a solid in-state school like Arkansas State or the University of Arkansas? No, it’s not. Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business, and CEO of Ramsey Solutions. He has authored seven best-selling books.
