Independence Day Parade again a hit Parade drew about 12,000 people

BY JEN SHEA For the Bugle @BugleNewspapers nweditor@buglenewspapers.com

More than 82 groups marched from Notre Dame College Prep to Grennan Heights Park this July 4 for the annual Niles Independence Day parade.

The parade drew about 12,000 people, according to the Niles Police Department. Temperatures reached 90 degrees, but the mood among parade goers remained relaxed.

The Village of Niles collaborated with the Niles Park District to plan the day’s events. There was a marching band performance during the parade, and live music in the park afterwards.

“It’s one of our most popular events,” Community Engagement Coordinator Katie Schneider said.

“It’s been the same route for about 30 or 40 years.”

Schneider said the marching band is a highlight for her. The parade also featured dancers and free candy for kids.

“I loved it all, even the big fire trucks,” said Niles resident Bernice Torchedo, who has lived in the village for 63 years.

“I think it was longer, a bigger parade this year,” her friend Alicja Lubiak said. She said they attend

The Village of Niles collaborated with the Niles Park District to plan the day’s events. There was a marching band performance during the parade, and live music in the park afterwards. the parade every year.

Niles Park District Recreation Program Supervisor Robin Brey said the Park District hosts activities after the parade for local families.

“A lot of people watch the parade, then come on over to Grennan Park,” she said. “There’s something for everyone to enjoy.”

At Grennan Heights Park, a fire truck with hose and ladder extended showered the grass near the baseball diamond. An artist under a pink umbrella decorated children’s faces with paintbrushes. Volunteers distributed cans of Pepsi and foil-wrapped hot dogs.

Near the beer tent and the pony rides, kids played carnival games like beanbag toss. In another corner, lines formed at six inflatables

— slides, trampolines and an obstacle course.

“The after celebration is so great,” Jamie Reinhardt said. She attended the parade with her two kids, ages four and six, and her husband. “We’ve been coming to the parade for a few years, and we

enjoy it every year. This year we sat at the very end — I think the vibe at the end was a little better.”

Park District Assistant Executive Director JoAnn Raschillo said they plan the celebration all year long. The Village doesn’t make any money from the event.

GUEST COLUMN

Ronald Reagan’s ‘quintessential’ story began at Eureka College Reagan graduated from Eureka College in 1932

BY LENORE SOBOTA OF THE PANTAGRAPH Illinois may be known as the Land of Lincoln, but it’s another president with Illinois roots who offers lessons to which people today can more easily relate, say officials of Ronald Reagan’s alma mater.

Reagan graduated from Eureka College in 1932. He went on to become a sports broadcaster, movie and television actor, governor of California and the 40th president of the United States.

“The Reagan story is the quintessential Illinois story,” said Michael Murtagh, the college’s vice president for institutional advancement. “He is a person who came from small-town Illinois and made a difference in the world.”

As noted by Mike Thurwanger, head of the Reagan Leadership Program at the college: “One of the things he offers is the understanding that an individual from humble beginnings can rise to a position where he has an impact on the world.”

While not downgrading the importance of Abraham Lincoln, Murtagh notes: “Lincoln grew up in a log cabin. … People can’t relate to that.”

Reagan, on the other hand, faced financial struggles, went to college on a “needy student” scholarship while also working, and had a father with a drinking problem, said Murtagh.

“His life struggles exemplify many of the life struggles our students still face,” he said. “He is proof that you can overcome that kind of thing. Reagan’s life is

something students can relate to.”

Thurwanger said Reagan’s “Midwestern and Illinois values colored the way he approached things” and even some of his critics would like to see a return to some of what he was known for, such as his ability to “work across the aisle, which we don’t seem to be doing today.”

Signs of Reagan’s life both before and after his graduation remain on campus — and not just in the Reagan Museum that opened in 1994 in the Cerf Center.

There is the chapel where Reagan gave his first speech as a college freshman.

“The chapel hasn’t changed a lot,” said Murtagh “The pews have been removed but the feel is still there.”

But for Murtagh, “The Reagan Peace Garden stands out for me.”

Dedicated in May 2000, the garden contains a bronze bust of a smiling Reagan by artist Lonnie Steward and a 5-by-4-foot section of the Berlin Wall, given by the Federal Republic of Germany.

Around the base that holds the bust are quotes from Reagan’s 1982 commencement address, at which he outlined his plans for seeking peace with the Soviet Union and for strategic arms reduction, with a goal of “dismantling the nuclear menace.”

“Peace is not the absence of conflict but the ability to cope with conflict by peaceful means,” reads one of the quotes.

The impact of Reagan teaming with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev to end the Cold War is not lost on Thurwanger and Murtagh.

“Both of us are Cold War veterans,” said Thurwanger, noting that he and Murtagh each served in the military for 20 years. “I’m not sure the current generation has a full grasp of his impor-

tance” in ending the Cold War. A plaque in front of the section of the Berlin Wall contains the famous quote from Reagan’s 1987 visit to West Berlin: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”

Gorbachev dismissed the role that Reagan played in the eventual dismantling of the wall. But during a visit to Eureka College in 2009, the former Soviet leader said, “When all is said and done, he was a great man.”

Gorbachev is among many dignitaries, including former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, who have visited Eureka College over the years because of the Reagan connection and the efforts of the Ronald Reagan Society at Eureka College to preserve his legacy.

Another way that legacy is continued is through the Reagan Leadership Program, which provides scholarships and mentorships to students.

“The idea is to develop their leadership potential,” said Thurwanger. “We use a servant-leader model,” which emphasizes using skills to help others become leaders themselves.

He added, “Our goal is developing all students so they leave as leaders.”

Speaking at the 1982 commencement, 50 years after his own graduation, Reagan said, “Everything that’s been good in my life began here.”

It was a phrase he repeated on several occasions, but it wasn’t just talk.

It was at Eureka College that Reagan gave his first speech as a 17-year-old freshman. He called for a vote of the student body on a student strike over a campus dispute with the college president and the board of trustees — a board on which he would later serve as an alumnus

LETTER TO THE EDITOR July is a special month for Park Ridge. The community has two favorite events to enjoy -- The 4th of July Fireworks and The Taste of Park Ridge. Not only are these well attended and much beloved by residents and visitors alike, they show a high level of intergovernmental cooperation.

Congrats to the Park Ridge Park District, the City of Park Ridge, and Maine Township School Dist. 207 for putting on another spectacular evening of family-friendly games, music and fireworks at Maine East H.S. on July 3. The Taste of

Park Ridge also continues to be a great event due, in part, to the cooperation with the City, Park District, Maine Township and the Chamber of Commerce. And, let’s not forget to thank our police, fire, citizen volunteers, and emergency management personnel for stepping up to keep us safe while we enjoy these outdoor events.

Nice going and thank you!

DOYLE

RULES Plainfield North’s Gavin Doyle is 2018 Voyager Media/Charlie Donovan Player of the Year

BY MARK GREGORY Sports Editor @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

Heading into the season, Plainfield North had big plans for senior Gavin Doyle.

He was all set to be a contributor at the plate, at shortstop and on the mound.

However, after five starts and only 13 2/3 innings this season, backup shortstop Jacob Shearer was lost with an ankle injury and Doyle was kept at shortstop.

“I was going to throw a lot this year, but our backup shortstop sprained his ankle really bad and we had enough solid arms that they didn’t really need me,” Doyle said.

So, while he wasn’t able to help the Tigers on the rubber, he did so at the plate and in the field.

An excellent defender, Doyle batted .387 on the season. Of his 43 hits, 22 were for extra bases, as he posted 10 doubles, five triples, seven home runs and drove in 41.

He posted a .757 slugging percentage and 1.242 OPS. His play helped Plainfield North win the IHSA Class 4A state title, the first in school history. He was also tabbed as the MVP of the Southwest Prairie Conference, an All-State selection by the Illinois Baseball Coaches Association and is also the 2018 recipient of the Voyager Media Charlie Donovan Baseball Player of the Year award.

The award was named in 2017 for Donovan, a former Westmont standout and three-time Voyager Media Player of the Year who died in November of 2015.

“You can’t be player of the year without your teammates,” Doyle said of earning the distinction.

“They are always on base and our pitching has been outstanding and we are a great team. I know you can count on them – it is a lot of fun. It is a blast playing with the kids I have been playing with since I was literally five years old.”

While his stats were great, Doyle brought more to the team than just numbers.

“He is a very, very smart baseball player. Gavin does things that people don’t even see. He moves us defensively, he remembers situational stuff from earlier in the year – he just understands the game and that has been huge,” said Plainfield North coach John Darlington. “He talks to the pitchers, he calms them down, he turns double plays, he is in the right spot 99 percent of the time. He does all the little things as a baseball player that you want kids to learn and to do and he does a great job with it.”

Doyle will continue his career next season at Western Michigan University, where he will go with fellow Tiger, neighbor and friend since three-years-old, Brady Miller.

“It will make the transition

Michigan, it was over. “(Originally) It was between there or some of the Ivy League schools. When I sat down and talked to the coach, it felt like home and everyone was so welcoming.”

Doyle has a younger brother, Colin, who he said is a star in the making.

Moneymaking hobby is a business DEAR DAVE, I’m retired, and in the past few years I’ve taken up painting.

This hobby has begun bringing in more money than I expected.

I was wondering at what point I should start thinking about separating my art money from my personal finances, and look at officially starting a little business.

PAT DEAR PAT, I’d do it now. A hobby that makes money is called a business.

Hearing this is scary to some people, but starting a small business doesn’t have to be complicated. You can go to your bank, and using your Social Security number, open a sole proprietor checking account. Title the account with your full name, then DBA — doing business as — and the name of your business.

All your art income goes into that account, and any expenses paid where your painting is concerned comes out of that account.

After the income goes in, and the expenses come out, what’s left is profit. That’s what you’ll end up paying taxes on.
