Man gets 17 years for stealing more than $50K from professional gambler DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin announced that late yesterday afternoon, a Chicago man charged with stealing more than $50,000 in cash from a professional gambler has been sentenced to seventeen years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Robert Chencinski, 48 (d.o.b. 9/14/1969) of 1919 Leavitt Street, entered a plea of guilty yesterday to one count of Robbery (Class 2 Felony) in front of Judge Robert Miller, who handed down the sentence. Chencinski was subject to Class X sentencing guidelines based upon his criminal history. On August 11, 2015, he appeared in Bond Court where his bond was set at $300,000 with 10% to apply. He has remained in custody since that time. On August 10, 2015, at approximately 8 a.m., the victim was stopped at an intersection while driving his vehicle from his home in Naperville to Rivers Casino in Des Plaines. As he proceeded through the intersection, his vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle driven by Chencinski. After hitting his victim’s vehicle, Chencinski exited his vehicle, approached his victim’s vehicle and then reached through the open driver’s side window, put the victim in a choke hold, opened the driver’s door then pulled the victim out of his vehicle. Chencinski then overpowered his victim, stole a total of $51,500 in cash from him and then returned to his vehicle and fled the scene. A witness called 911 and Naperville Police officers located the vehicle. After a short car chase, Chencinski abandoned the vehicle in a residential neighborhood in Naperville. Approximately one hour later, Chencinski was located hiding in a resident’s

Golf club gets sheltered driving range shelter will allow golfers the chance to practice in poor weather BY RYAN OSTRY Bugle Staff @RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com
The notable Downers Grove Golf Club kicked of its completion of the new driving range shelter by hosting a grand opening celebration last Wednesday night. The celebration included a dedication where recipients received giveaways, complimentary appetizers and small buckets of balls for use. Manager of Marketing and Creative Development Dawn Hartman sees many positive benefits of the shelter, including golfers having more access to play. “We definitely wanted to extend our playable season for our participants,” Hartman said. “With this shelter, we feel like we will have more playable days into those colder months and in the spring when it’s still warming up.” There are many new functions that have increased the likelihood of more participants playing including infrared heaters, lights and ceiling fans. The shelter currently covers 10 of the 24 driving range stations. Office Manager at the Downers Grove Park District Sally Hayduck said she has already seen more excitement so far with the new shelters, than in previous years before. “The excitement level around

Twenty solar panels will also soon be installed on the roof to help generate energy for the heaters and fans.

new experiences. “We think with the addition of the shelter, this will attract more people that haven’t necessarily been attracted before,” McAdam said. “We’ve already seen some families where their kids are playing [in the shelter] and having a good experience, so we just ultimately want to introduce more people to golf and this is the way to do that.” As for golf teaching professional Tom Olms, he said the shelter will provide people a lot more chances to improve on their game. “I will be using this shelter on rain days when I normally don’t get lessons in, so for me and my

students it’s a huge plus and benefits us greatly,” Olms said. For part-time employee and golf participant Jose Rodriguez, he thinks the shelter will make his job easier by advising golfers to constantly practice and get out of the house no matter what the weather conditions are. “This shelter expands the playing season for us by allowing us to get out and practice a lot more regardless of what the weather is like outside,” Rodriguez said. “My job is too promote, greet people at the first tee and constantly tell people the way they will get better is by lessons and to practice, practice and practice more.”
Every year, at the annual Community Recognition Award Ceremony in December, the Village of Woodridge recognizes people and organizations in the community that have provided positive contributions.

Teacher part of educator collaborative Downers Grove North’s Jeff Grant tabbed for ‘Science Friday’ BY RYAN OSTRY Bugle Staff @RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com
Jeff Grant, who has been teaching at Downers Grove North High School for the last 15 years, is not your normal everyday biology and anatomy teacher. The man who lives for the nuances in the study of life was recently announced as part of the Science Friday’s Educator Collaborative, a rigorous six-month training and collaborative development program. Grant was one of eight members selected out of hundreds of applicants around the country
to partner with Science Friday to help develop the resources needed for educators and parents around the world to use in their classrooms and homes. “Their whole goal is to get materials to teachers so they can improve their classrooms,” Grant said. “They have pitched out the last few years for teachers to apply and I’m just very happy to be apart of the third class of educator and collaborators.” Science Friday’s Educator Collaborative has been producing award-winning multimedia for web, radio and other forms of communication for the past 25 years.
With one of the main goals being to promote a greater understanding of science and technology for the public, Grant was thrilled to see his work finally come to Fruition in April. “From the time I was told I was going to be one of the educating collaboratives, I was constantly working on the project after getting the pitch,” Grant said. For grades 9-12, Grant developed a project where students learned about Fibonacci sequences and explored how this mathematical pattern may have shaped the evolution of vertebrate hands. “It’s the idea that pieces decrease as you go up to the fingertips, but it does it by a very mathematical way and it allows for a cool grip,” Grant said. “The whole
resource goes through teaching the kids how to do a Fibonacci sequence and then it goes into them modeling with cardboard pieces.” During the project, the group received x-rays from all over the nation where the kids measured the bones, logged them and based on what their numbers were if it matched the same curve they would be categorized as having a good grip. Grant said that even though he appreciated the recognition and appraisal for this task, he couldn’t of done any of the work without his supporting cast. “I’ve been recognized for a couple things before, but the only reason I can do what I do is because of the awesome people that I work with,” Grant said. “The sci-
ence department here is fantastic because everybody supports each other and this was especially cool because not only do I love the website and the group, but I got to do something that extended beyond in doing stuff with other scientists and with their staff.” The science extraordinaire related the experience to a die-hard baseball fan getting the chance to “take batting practice with Anthony Rizzo” and said that he is just glad that his project was ultimately a success. “For a science dork like myself, there’s just a lot of pride in this because I worked on this so much,” Grant said. “We would get on video chat with people from all over the nation and discuss our projects and what we needed to do.”
DUPAGE COUNTY
Flood Control Project near Salt Creek completed Project was a collaborative effort between DuPage County, the Village of Hinsdale, the Graue Mill Homeowners Association, Forest Preserve District of DuPage County
On Tuesday, federal, state and local officials came together to celebrate the completion of the Graue Mill Flood Control Project in Hinsdale. The project was a collaborative effort between DuPage County, the Village of Hinsdale, the Graue Mill Homeowners Association and the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County to protect the area from repetitive flooding. DuPage County Chairman Dan Cronin highlighted the need for the project.
BRIEFS FROM PAGE 2 Nominations are reviewed by the Woodridge Intergovernmental Council who recommends candidates to the Village Board for consideration. Nominations must be received by September 28th. Please contact Leslie Davies at (630) 719-4706 if you have any questions.
“In a span of only five years, Graue Mill endured three significant flood events. It was after the April 2013 flood that DuPage began working with all of the project partners to come up with a solution,” Cronin said. “The Graue Mill project became an important piece of our regional flood control approach, and we really couldn’t have done it without our federal, state and local partners.” The project addresses repetitive flooding within the Graue Mill neighborhood, adjacent to

The project included construction of floodgates, floodwalls, pump stations and berms, as well as storm sewer improvements and compensatory floodwater storage in nearby Fullersburg Woods Forest Preserve. U.S. Congressman Mike Quigley helped secure more than $2.5 million in funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to get the project off the ground. “This is a remarkable community. The men and women of Graue Mill took it upon themselves to doggedly peruse creative solutions to the flooding problems that have repeatedly threatened their lives and property. As their representative in congress,

I’m proud to have marshalled the federal resources needed to support their work. The Graue Mill flood abatement project is a prime example of the collaboration at the state, local and federal levels that will be crucial to address the mounting challenges of a changing climate,” said Quigley. In addition to the FEMA and Illinois Emergency Management Agency grant, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources provided a $626,000 grant, which was secured in part by former State Rep.

When they came to the County asking for assistance in construction oversight and fulfilling the remaining local match, we were happy to help,” said Jim Zay, Chairman of the DuPage County Stormwater Management Committee. “We adopted the project into our existing Lower Salt Creek Watershed Plan, and then got to work on bidding out the construction and administrating the project through from beginning to end.”

Illinois’ long romance with trains endures Railroads made Chicago, stealing commerce from steamboat hubs like St. Louis, but it’s a love-hate relationship in the suburbs and Chicago today BY MARNI PYKE OF THE DAILY HERALD Trains brought Abraham Lincoln’s body home to Illinois, transported southern blacks escaping Jim Crow laws to Chicago, and now carry a labor force of thousands between the suburbs and downtown Chicago daily. Freight, passenger and commuter trains pass through the Chicago area at the rate of 1,300 a day, Illinois Department of Transportation says, and rail lines fan out in every direction. “People in Illinois are as intimately tied to railroading as anywhere in the country,” DePaul University transportation professor Joseph Schwieterman said. “Millions live close to busy rail lines, use commuter or intercity passenger trains, or cross busy sets of tracks every day, giving them a strong psychological connection to railroads.” But being the rail hub of the nation also has its downside: Meager funding for commuter rail, crossing delays, and freight gridlock are among the challenges facing the state in the 21st century. The first train to appear in the Chicago metro region was a Galena & Chicago Union Railroad steam engine dubbed the “Pioneer” in 1848, according to the Encyclopedia of Chicago. One of its first destinations was the settlement of Elmhurst, foreshadowing a regional commuter rail service under Metra that made 78.6 million passenger trips in 2017. “Our legacy suburbs developed along the railroads. In many respects they owe the initial growth to the railroads,” railroad historian and Metra Chairman Norm Carlson said. Prior to railroads, “shipping was the only way to move bulk commodities,” Carlson explained. “‘Interior’ delivery was limited to what the horse or mule
could carry or pull.” Initially, Midwestern railroads were built to link the nation’s interior with waterways, like the Mississippi River, and St. Louis was pegged as the gateway to the West. Chicago gained traction “in large measure to the access to Lake Michigan,” Carlson said. Railroads began sprouting like dandelions to feed growing demands. “From moving crops to market to moving raw materials in and finished products out, the railroads connect the economic activity of the state,” Carlson said. Schwieterman noted “everyone knows that railroads are a huge part of Chicago’s history, but many don’t fully appreciate that other places, including Decatur, Galesburg, Effingham and Rock Island, were rail junctions of enormous importance, as well.” As of 2018, the Chicago region absorbs almost 500 freight trains daily or 25 percent of traffic in the United States. But outdated infrastructure where railway tracks intersect or cross busy roads mean trains can spend as much
time in Chicago as it takes to reach either coast. Efforts to untangle the rail spaghetti — expediting trains and improving safety — will cost $4.4 billion and are about 40 percent complete. Both Metra and Amtrak are suffering from lackluster funding amid demands for better service from riders. Yet, despite the budget drought for commuter rail, Illinois’ high-speed rail project to begin service between Chicago and Springfield with speeds of 110 mph is expected to finish this year. “Chicago remains the workhorse of our country’s railroad industry,” Schwieterman said. “That keeps rail lines in our state unusually vibrant and busy.” Marni Pike is the transportation writer for the Daily Herald in Arlington Heights.

BIG PLAYS
COSTLY Three plays for more than 40 yards help Notre Dame beat Benet and drop Redwings to 3-1 on the year
BY MARK GREGORY Editorial Director @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com
In the East Suburban Catholic Conference every league game is a pivotal one with each team knowing the conference will have them ready to compete in the playoffs. The problem is getting in the playoffs. With five wins needed to be playoff eligible, every week seems like a must win game and that was the vibe Friday night when Notre Dame traveled to Lisle to take on Benet Academy at Benedictine University. After a hard-fought game, it was Notre Dame and its big-play offense that came away with the 24-7 win, bouncing back from a tough loss to Marist a week ago. “We came through when we needed to,” said Notre Dame coach Mike Hennessey. “The execution early on wasn’t as crisp as it should have been, but we

got some big plays and I think physically we passed the test and that was important for us.” After a scoreless first quarter, reigning ESCC MVP Ty Gavin got Notre Dame (3-1, 1-1) on the board first with 59-yard touchdown run with 4 minutes, 58 seconds remaining in the half. Benet put together an answering drive and worked the ball to the Dons’ 5-yard line, but Michael Wyman, fighting for the goal line, fumbled the ball into the end zone where it was recovered by Notre Dame’s Xavier Buckley. A personal foul penalty was tacked on to the touchback, bringing the ball out to the 35yard line, where Julian Schurr needed one play to take a sweep 65-yards up the Notre Dame sideline and put the visitors ahead 14-0 with 1:45 before the half. “Those big plays kill you,” said

Slammers one win from league title EDITOR’S NOTE: Game five of the series was rained out on Monday and as of press time, was scheduled for Tuesday. Check in at www.buglenewspapers.com for updates . The Joliet Slammers lost game 4 of the Frontier League Championship Series against the Washington Wild Things 2-1 Saturday night to tie up the best-of-five at two games each. The Slammers scored in the second inning with an RBI double from Brian Parreira. Corey Kimber threw 6 scoreless innings. A game earlier, the Slammers scored five runs in the third inning with two outs to take game three 5-3. Slammers tallied four-straight hits to plate all five of their runs in game three. Justin Garcia singled home a run before Ridge Hoopii-Haslam plated two with a base hit. Trenton Hill ended up with the gamewinning hit, as he singled home Hoopii-Haslam to make it 4-0 and subsequently scored on a double by shortstop Chaz Meadows. Washington, who was hitless through three, received a twoout, full-count double from second baseman Carter McEachern that scored first baseman Reydel Medina to open the scoring for Washington. In the fifth, left fielder Roman Collins plated a run with a single and Medina doubled home a run to bring it to 5-3.

Nathan Antone earned the win in relief, fanning five in 3.1 innings including getting Hector Roa to fly out to center to end the fifth-inning threat with the tying run on second. In game two, Joliet won 3-1 Dom Iero, Washington’s third baseman, came within feet of tying the game with a two-run home run in the ninth, but the ball was ultimately called foul before Iero struck out to end the game. For the first two frames it seemed to be a pitching duel between Chase Cunningham and Joliet starter Scot Hoffman (0-1). The Slammers opened up the scoring in the third on a sacrifice fly from third baseman Danny Zardon, scoring centerfielder London Lindley to put Joliet in front. Joliet added on with another run in the fourth on another sacrifice fly, this one from Meadows that scored second baseman Hoopii-Haslam. In the fifth, Zardon doubled to bring in an insurance run for the Slammers making it 3-0. The Wild Things generated some offense in the bottom half of the fifth with a solo home run from Iero. In the opener, Washington came out on top, scoring three runs in the home seventh to best Joliet 3-2. The Slammers got on the board first on a Garcia home run off Thomas Dorminy, the Frontier
League Pitcher of the Year. Joliet’s starter Daren Osby was solid, but gave up a homer in

score. I have always said, calling an offense is much easier when you can score on a 60-yard run.” Halfway through the third quarter, the Redwings cut the lead in half on a Wymer 1-yard plunge, however Notre Dame
would tack on a Danny Simon 25-yard field goal before the end of the corner. The lone score in the fourth quarter was a Gavin 8-yard run, which was set up by his 65-yard jaunt four plays earlier.
Gavin would carry the ball 16 times for 152 yards and a pair of scores. “Coming out here we knew we had to play physical football,” Hennessey said. “Every game we play with these guys is a tough, hard-nosed game. That is how it is against Benet. They are a well-coached team and we respect them a lot and that is why we love to play them. We even played them a couple times when we weren’t scheduled to.” New has the same praise for the Dons. “Notre Dame is traditionally a really well coached team and they have some great kids,” he said. “We are always battle tested and that is for sure. We get in
the playoffs and play a team and realize we have played better teams all year in conference.” Benet will look to right the ship next week at home against Nazareth. “We have no room for let down,” New said. “Traditionally, our guys have always been ready to play Nazareth and we know we have our work cut out for us because that is one of the best teams in the state.” Notre Dame will host Marian Catholic looking to get win No. 4. “Every week is a battle. Last week was, this week was and next week for our homecoming will be,” Hennessey said. “We know it gets you ready.”

BUSINESS + REAL ESTATE DAVE SAYS
Explore your options before leaving any job DEAR DAVE, I’m stuck in a dead-end job, and I only have a high school diploma. I’ve never minded long hours and hard work, but I’ve begun to realize I need to have a better career so I can spend more time with my kids. I feel like I’m missing out on their lives because I work 65 to 70 hours every week. Do you have any advice on how to change my situation? TIM DEAR TIM, Asking questions and exploring your options like this is a much smarter move than simply walking away from an unsatisfying job situation — especially when you have a family to think about. I’m glad you’re wise enough to take a thoughtful look at the situation, instead of making a rash decision that could have a negative impact on you and your family. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to improve yourself in terms of education or your career. But before you do any of that, you’ve got to have a definite direction in mind. You need an in-depth, detailed game plan for the next three or four years that’s designed to put you where you want to be. It may involve going back to school for some classes, additional training in your field or even getting a full-blown degree. If you identify your longterm goals in detail, it will lead you to some of the short-term goals that will help you arrive at your final destination. Have you tried talking to your boss about your goals and your situation? See if you can have a sincere conversation with him or her, and discuss your feelings about your career and what’s going on with your family, too. —DAVE
