Grove Foundation recognizes students for good character Annual Grove Foundation recognition continues to shine light on positive hard-working Downers Grove students BY RYAN OSTRY Bugle Staff

@RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com The Grove Foundation recognized several District 58 fifth graders with Helping Children Grow Awards this school year. The Grove Foundation is a local not-for-profit group that provides services and programs that improve the Downers Grove community. “The Grove Foundation is a nonfor-profit organization that has been around over over 25 years,” said Lois Kopas, Director of the Grove Foundation. “Our mission is to give back to the community while annually raising funds.” Now, the Grove Foundation’s Helping Children Grow Award annually recognizes one fifth grader from each District 58 classroom for extra effort, good character and a willingness to help others. Award recipients were recognized at a fifth grade assembly, and they each received a certificate and a gift from Anderson’s Book Store. The Grove Foundation has two annual events each year to raise money for the students who are deserving of the award, and the money goes to organizations that help people within the community. Along with the annual award ceremony, the Grove Foundation also has a grants program each year where other non-for-profits have to submit a grant proposal where a committee reviews and votes on it. “One of the great things about this organization is we’re a pretty small group,” Kopas said. “We meet monthly and there’s not a lot of red tape so we can give money away, right away if it’s necessary.” Cases such as if a fire starts, if a family needs financial support or many other situations have had the Grove Foundation react quickly, helping out to the best of their abili-

MORE INFO The following students are the recipients of the 2019 Grove Foundation award:

Angelica Ballia, Henry Puffer Olivia Bottoms, Fairmount Sam Brockway, Lester Kelsey Cain, Indian Trail Mallory Crowley, Hillcrest Justin Davis, Henry Puffer Abby DeCicco, Whittier Sofia Galasso, Hillcrest Hailey Garrity, Lester Kasey Heiden, Fairmount Jaina Kolavennu, Hillcrest Emilie Kuchta, Pierce Downer Ellie McGowan, Pierce Downer Morgan McGrath, Highland Claudia Moran, Lester Emma Nelson, Belle Aire Jackson Rosenberg, Whittier Luce Stankaitis, Kingsley Kai Tolbert, Indian Trail Katherine Toledano Vazquez, Highland Ethan Traugott, Kingsley Elsa Westover, El Sierra

ties. Awards are given to each of the fifth grade public school classrooms in Downers Grove, where 11 schools are visited, along with St. Mary’s. The teachers nominate students according to the directions that the Grove Foundation provide, where students are being recognized for positive attitude, respect, responsibility and making good choices resulting in not just having a great outlook in class, but in life. “I think it demonstrates to the individuals and their peers that you don’t have to be the fastest runner or the most popular student,” Kopas said. “If you come to school everyday with a smile and engage with others in a meaningful way you are making a dent and positive imprint in the world.”

‘Memorial Mile’ remembers life of Ben Silver Downers Grove North all-state runner died in 2015 from mental illness BY MARK GREGORY Editorial Director

@Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

When tragedy happens, everyone grieves and after there are two directions most people go — some get overtaken by grief, while others make the most of a bad situation. Finding that silver lining was something that just came natural to one Downers Grove family. So natural, in fact, it may as well have been named for them. Saturday, June 15 will mark the fourth year the Silver family will hold the annual ‘Ben’s Memorial Mile and Family Festival’ — a family fest and race that remembers the life of 2011 Downers Grove North graduate and IHSA All-State runner Ben Silver. Ben suffered from schizophrenia, a diagnosis he got in 2013 during his sophomore year at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he had earned a running scholarship. In 2015, the illness caused Ben to take his own life. “Right after Ben died, the first thing I though, was how can I turn poison into medicine. What meaning can I make out of my incredible son’s life,” said Ben’s mother, Jamie Silver. “It would make me happy if something like this never happened to anyone again ever.” A year of meetings with friends and community members and Ben’s Memorial Mile was born to honor the life and accomplishments of Ben, as well as end the stigma of mental health and start the conversation around mental health raising the visibility of resources in our community. The event offers mile-long races for runners of all abilities, as well as a costume run and ‘Ben-ipede’ where runners are tethered together during the run. “This is a fun event and is not just for runners,” Jamie said. “We want everyone to come. There is a bags tournament, scavenger hunt and children’s races “For the runners, it is a chance to run and be cheered on again. Once you leave a team, you can’t just recreate that somewhere, but we recreate it here as a reunion of all the running families — not just in Downers Grove, but all the surrounding families as well.”

The event will take place on the track at Downers Grove North from 5-9 p.m. Spectators are free and runners are $30 day of or $25 in advance at BensMemorialMile.com. This year there is an after party at Cadence in Downtown Downers Grove, 5101 Mochel Drive from 10 p.m.-1 a.m. On June 14, there will be a Ben’s Memorial Mile party at Pierce Tavern, 5135 Main St., on the corner of Main and Curtiss from 9 p.m. until midnight featuring music by Megan Pennington, Jack The Acquaintance, Jim Andrews Band and Rockapedia. Funds raised will go to Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, NAMI DuPage and Hope for the Day. The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation is committed to alleviating the suffering caused by mental illness by awarding grants that will lead to advances and breakthroughs in scientific research, while NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. Hope For The Day focuses on suicide prevention and mental health

Right after Ben died, the first thing I thought, was how can I turn poison into medicine. What meaning can I make out of my incredible son s life. It would make me happy if something like this never happened to anyone again ever. - Ben s mother, Jamie Silver education through self-expression platforms to achieve outreach, education, and prevention. It is the founder of Sip of Hope Coffeehouse in Chicago — the first Coffeehouse staffed with people trained in mental health first aid and a safe haven for anyone when they need someone to talk to. Ben’s Memorial Mile has already donated more than $50,000 to organizations like these, and while money is important — ending the stigma, raising the visibility of resources in the community is just as

important. “This would be exactly what Ben would want,” Jamie said. “To have this fun event that is meaningful and for a good cause. It brings together all of his friends, so people can make new friends. What could be better than that? I really love Hope for the Day’s message of talk about it, reach out and don’t think you are alone. That is a very crucial message that we are looking to get out in conjunction with them. People tend to blame people with mental illness the way they don’t with another disease like cancer. They don’t always realize, it is a physical illness. The brain gets sick just like the rest of the body.” Not only is June 15 this year’s Memorial Mile event, Downers Grove Mayor Bob Barnett has proclaimed the day, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Day in the Village in honor of Ben Silver. Through her grieving process, Jamie developed techniques to help her get through it. She is now an author and hosts workshops on how to deal with loss. In her Grief-Relief workshops, Jamie shares the keys she used to transform her grief. She reveals and teaches the Emo-

tional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and the writing techniques she used to be able to thrive, not just survive after such a great loss. “I have a private coaching practice in St. Pete Beach Florida, but through the miracle of modern technology, I have clients throughout the world via Skype and Zoom,” she said. “I invite anyone to contact me for a free consultation to see if my work is a good fit for them.” Contact can be made through her web site is https://Jamieleesilver. com or at 630-926-3001. She will be doing a workshop while in town — Grief Relief with Jamie, Leave with a written note from your loved one and tools for transforming grief. The workshop is 6-8 p.m. June 18 at 4513 Lincoln Ave. Lisle Il. Suite 208. Cost is $35 and can be signed up for at griefreliefnowjune19.eventbrite.com. Her book, “Our Forever Ben, One Mom’s Letters to her son-in-spirit and his poetic replies” is available at the workshops on Amazon and at the event Saturday. “Please join us,” Jamie said. “Runners, walkers and spectators are welcome. Bring your friends.”

Benet Academy girls win three IHSA state trophys with none of the athletes playing multiple sports BY MARK GREGORY Editorial Director

@Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com With the conclusion of the IHSA girls soccer season and Benet Academy claiming the Class 2A state championship, the Redwings completed a trifecta that very few schools, if any, can claim. When you add in the third place showing for girls volleyball in the fall and fourth-place trophy brought home by the girls basketball team in the winter, the Benet girls athletics claimed a trio of state trophies in the 2018-19 school year — one in each of the IHSA seasons. Only that is not the impressive part. What sets the Redwings’ run aside from other Illinois schools that have grabbed multiple state titles in a season is the fact that not one player on any of the three teams crossed over and played on another state finals team. “We have talented athletes and kids are specializing in sports and that is their decision,” said Benet Athletic Director Gary Goforth. “We have kids that are highly motivated academically and athletically and that goes hand in hand and we have coaches that mold them really well. “They are great kids to be around. We get good kids coming into our place and our coaches are a lot of the best in the state at their

sport and it is fun to just sit back and watch.” Benet Academy had roughly 660 girls walking the hallways this school year and 53 of them got to experience the thrill of earning a state trophy. That equates to nearly one percent of all girls at Benet earned a state medal this year. Of the 232 total female varsity athletes that did not play multiple sports — the only repeats were between the track and cross country teams — the three state trophy teams equated to 35 percent of varsity athletes. “I admit that is pretty impressive for a school our size,” Goforth said. “It is fascinating that our kids can do that.” While Goforth likes to see kids as multiple-sport athletes, he sees the positive side of having specialized athletes is that more kids have a chance to participate. And having those single sport athletes has paid off for the Redwings, in the last 10 years, Benet has won 13 state trophies — 11 by girls sports, including six state championships. “We go right from fall sports and right into basketball season and right from fall to spring,” Goforth said. “It is great for our school, we have had a good run since 2008 and our teams have done great. I would rather be busy than not be busy.”

Dave Says: When to refinance your home All you d really be doing is resetting, or recasting, the loan DEAR DAVE, I recently started following your plan, and I’ve looked into refinancing the home I bought five years ago to free up more money to put toward paying off debt. My interest rate is 3.625 percent, along with a private mortgage insurance payment of $200 per month. This makes my mortgage payment $2,700 a month, and I owe $325,000 on the house. I was offered a re-financing plan that included a monthly payment of $2,576 with no PMI, but the interest rate would be 4.6 percent. What do you think?

PHIL DEAR PHIL,

Bond Set for Three Accused of Impersonating a Police Officer DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin, DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, Winfield Chief of Police David Schar and Wheaton Chief of Police William Murphy announced today that bond has been set for three men accused of impersonating a police officer. Corey Abendroth, 19 (d.o.b. 3/31/2000) of 26W150 Harrison Avenue,

“THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE” IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE 18TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT DUPAGE COUNTY, ILLINOIS Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee for MASTR Asset Backed Securities Trust 2005-OPT1, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-OPT1; Plaintiff, vs. Richard C. Lachowski; Defendants.

You don’t need to refinance with those numbers. You’d be going up more in terms of interest rate than you’d save with no PMI. The only reason the payment is going down is that you’d be agreeing to stay in debt longer. Now, if you could’ve lost some of that interest rate, and gotten rid of the PMI, that might have come close to making sense. But, even that might not have worked in the end, because you’d have closing costs associated with the deal. There’s no way this deal is a good idea. You’d essentially be going up a full percentage point in terms of interest, and all you’d really be doing is resetting, or re-casting, the loan. Basically, you’d be starting over on the loan. That’s why the larger payment and PMI would go away, but you’d have a significant increase in your in-

Wheaton, Luke Halstead, 19 (d.o.b. 8/3/1999) of 1N559 Turnberry Lane, Winfield and Thomas Kozie, 19 (d.o.b. 12/16/1999) of 944 Fair Oaks, Oak Park, appeared at a bond hearing this morning where Judge Jeffrey MacKay set bond at $35,000 with 10% to apply for Kozie, $20,000 with 10% to apply for Halstead and $7,500 with 10% to apply for Abendroth. On June 3, 2019, the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a male subject impersonating a police officer on Morningside Avenue in West Chicago. The subject, later identified as Kozie, was allegedly dressed in a suit and displayed what appeared to be a police badge on his belt. It is alleged that at approximately 10:05 p.m. on June 3, 2019, Kozie allegedly approached the house on Morningside, rang the doorbell and identified himself to the homeowner

terest rate. Where you’re at right now is fine, Phil. You’re off to a good start, so just keep on moving forward with getting out of debt and gaining control of your finances!

WATCH OUT...

DAVE

DEAR DAVE, My wife and I are completely debtfree, and we have a full emergency

fund in place. We bring home around $110,000 a year combined, and we are both maxing out 401(k)s at work. We each just opened additional IRAs, as well. At this point, we want to start setting aside $30,000 a year for a few years as savings to help buy a home. With all this in mind, what do you think about the idea of vintage watches as an investment? I work with a high-end retail company, and I’ve noticed certain sports watches have been doubling or even tripling in value over time. Would it be okay to spend around $5,000 on a vintage watch now, or should I wait until we’re in even better financial shape?

MIKE DEAR MIKE, Yeah, you could do that. Just make sure you look at it the right way. It would be a hobby, not a real investment. I have a friend who has col-

lected a few thousand bottles of wine over the years. The value of most of them has gone up since he bought them, but it’s not part of his investment strategy. So, if you buy a $5,000 watch in your situation, that’s okay. Just don’t go nuts and buy 10 of them, you know? What we’re talking about here are collectibles. It could be the first step in building a collection of fine watches over the years. You could do the same thing with cars, but don’t make them part of your investment strategy. Treat them like consumption items, things you can afford to spend money on and enjoy. Then, if they happen to go up in value, it’s icing on the cake! * Dave Ramsey is CEO of Ramsey Solutions.

as Jeff Rushmore, an investigator with the Winfield Police Department. It is alleged that Kozie told the homeowner he was conducting a missing person report. After allegedly briefly speaking to the homeowner, Kozie entered a vehicle allegedly occupied by Abendroth and Halstead and left the area. After the encounter, the homeowner called the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office and reported the incident. It is further alleged that on that same evening, the three men went to several homes in West Chicago, Wheaton and Winfield. It is alleged that at each home Kozie rang the doorbell and identified himself as a police officer to the homeowner while Abendroth and Halstead waited in a nearby vehicle. An investigation conducted by the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office and the Wheaton and Winfield Police Departments led to the three men.
