Nurse donates kidney to doctor’s wife Edward hospital employee volunteers to save the life of a coworker’s wife

BY MARK GREGORY While Valentine’s Day is usually celebrated with the sign of a heart, for one area couple, it was a different organ that made February special.

Pam Cassidy, a 44-year-old Yorkville resident received a text message from her husband, Brett Cassidy, MD, an independent OBGYN and member of Edward Hospital’s medical staff that read, “I may have found a kidney for you.”

It would be the second kidney for Pam, who received her first transplant in 2011 after she was diagnosed in 2005 with IgA nephropathy, an autoimmune disease that in some people causes end-stage kidney failure.

Eventually, the disease had started attaching to the new kidney and Pam began another round of outpatient dialysis as the wait for a new kidney began — again.

It was during one of her dialysis treatment when she got the message that a kidney had been found – something Pam did not think would happen for a second time.

“The average wait for a kidney for someone with type O blood like mine is eight years. I was told the average life expectancy for someone my age with my condition is eight years. I figured I was toast.”

However, while in the break room at one day at Edward Hospital, Dr. Cassidy was talking to a couple of nurses in the break room, when Lisa Schumacher, 47-yearold labor and delivery nurse from Plainfield joined the conversation.

“I really didn’t know Dr. Cassidy very well, but I walked into a conversation he was having and he wasn’t asking for anyone to help

him out,” Lisa said. “One of the nurses just said how his wife was sick and needs a kidney and I found out I was the right blood type and I said, ‘give me the paperwork, I’ll do it.’ It took us a whole week of testing, but then we found out we were a match. When I saw the look

on his face when he talked about her, I knew he was crazy about her, I thought how I would hate that if I needed it and no one wanted to step forward. It was not really a tough decision. It was the right time in my life to do something for someone else.”

Lisa said, the original motivation was the Cassidy’s children and the parallel she drew to her own family.

“I knew they had kids about the same age as mine and I knew they were involved in a lot of activities SEE NURSE PAGE 11

VVSD students win “Yes, I Can!” Award Jared Gonzalez and Lauren Hrdlicka achieve high honor recognizing their hard work in the classroom

Fountaindale receives high accolades for performance Library gets tabbed as one of the 257 libraries across the nation to receive a star rating

BY RYAN OSTRY Bugle Staff @RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com

Every year, students who display high levels of character and intellectual high ground are voted upon by the Illinois Council Exceptional Children board proclaiming the “Yes, I Can!” award honors.

This year, the council has recognized two Valley View School District students as the recipients of the awards, Jared Gonzalez and Lauren Hrdlicka.

Gonzalez, a first grade student at R.C Hill in Romeoville was given the award in technology which is the achievement through the use of assistive and adaptive technology devices and equipment, while Hrdlicka, who is a freshman at Bolingbrook High School, was given the award for Academics in a particular subject area such as math, science, reading, social studies, language arts, or foreign language; overall academic achievement; or a high level of achievement on standardized tests. at Jane Addams Middle School.

The “Yes, I Can!” Awards program honors and celebrates the achievements of children and youth (ages 2-21) with exceptionalities.

The purpose of the award is to encourage individuals to seek their highest potential and to increase public awareness of the abilities, aspirations and personal qualities of those with disabilities.

Gonzalez, has been dealing with Cerebral Palsy, a disorder of movement, muscle tone and posture.

As well as dealing with Cerebral Palsy, the first grade award winner has a secondary disability of epilepsy, which was discovered and diagnosed just

3

last year.

“Jared uses both a walker and an adapted stroller to navigate his environment at home, at school and in the community,” said Lauren Winiarski, Jared’s teacher. “Jared is primarily nonverbal and uses a NovaChat, a communication device with voice output, in addition to gestures, to communicate.”

Although most people at Gonzalez’s age, if not any other age would be heavily affected by such conditions, Winiarski said that its Gonzalez that makes the biggest impact on everyone around him, not the other way around.

“Jared is an incredibly endearing, friendly and sweet boy with a contagious smile and a big heart,” Winiarksi said. “He lets you know the minute he is wheeled into school from the bus each morning by enthusiastically vocalizing and waving to all the staff in the room, he makes his presence well-known.”

Winiarksi also said that Gonzalez is one of those students that makes her job easier, and his infectious attitude around other students and teachers is contagious, while making everyone’s day even just a little bit better.

“Jared is one of those students who just tugs at your heartstrings and makes going to work that much more enjoyable because he enjoys coming to school and always aims to please,” Winiarski said. During our daily Morning Meeting

routine, Jared very often requests to be the “Greeter of the Day” by selecting his own picture from his binder, and one of Jared’s favorite phrases he uses with both staff and classmates on his device is, “Can I give you a hug?”, he has just developed relationships within his Multi-Needs classroom and cultivates them daily.”

The other recipient of the prestigious award being Hrdlicka who, although is not as talkative, is a diligent and persistent worker.

“Lauren is a quiet but extremely motivated student, we worked on common core standards together, but most of the work was done by her,” said Timothy Sidenstick, Lauren’s teacher. “She advocated for herself, came in for extra help, retakes and asked questions when needed and she has an extremely supportive family and she is/was involved in extracurricular activities. “ Hrdlicka achieved the award by obtaining all As and Bs in her courses, while being diagnosed with a specific learning disability, and having speech and language services.

“She is a student that has a chance of removing her IEP one day because she puts in the hard work and is responsible for her actions and grades,” Sidenstick said. “It is always the hope as a special education teacher to one day see students graduate to being able to do well in school without extra supports or accommodations.”

Fountaindale Public Library District achieved high regards from two respected institutions, which put them as one of just 257 libraries across the nation to receive a star rating.

“It means a lot to our staff because we have all worked so hard,” said Melissa Bradley, Communications Manager.

“Our motto is to surprise and delight our attendance, and to be ranked up there with the best of the best really is something special.”

The rankings cover 7,361 public libraries from across the United States and broke the libraries into nine different brackets based on budget expenditures.

Fountaindale was grouped in the $5–$9.9 million bracket.

The rankings were based on circulation of materials per capita, visits per capita, program attendance per capita and Internet terminal uses per capita.

The library’s three-star rating was a result of its overall score as compared to other libraries in its bracket.

Fountaindale’s strongest showing came in program attendance per capita, placing 10th out of the 220 libraries in its bracket.

This library, which has been around for 52 years, has a collection of nearly 350,000 items, a state-of-the-art digital media studio and a variety of programs, services and resources.

With Fountaindale receiving a star ranking, they were one of very few to receive the honor.

Ratings of three, four and five stars were disseminated

to the libraries that received the honors, with Fountaindale receiving a three.

“Only 21 libraries in Illinois were named star libraries which is pretty incredible,” said Paul Mills Executive Director. “There’s about 500 or 600 public libraries in the state of Illinois, so for us to be named with those other libraries was very special to all of us.”

The library received more good news when they were informed that Standard & Poor’s (S & P) Global Ratings assigned its ‘AA’ long-term rating to Fountaindale’s series 2018 general obligation (GO) refunding library bonds.

Proceeds will be used to refund and refinance a portion of the district series 2009 GO library building bonds for savings for taxpayers.

The refinancing is the first step in a larger plan to lower the taxes for the voter approved building bonds over the long term.

“10 years ago, the voters approved the building of our new library where bonds were sold after voter approval,” Mills said. “The ‘AA’ rating is one of the highest ratings a library district in Illinois have received, that enabled us to save taxpayers money on the refinancing.”

Both Bradley and Mills also said that in order to receive the accolade Fountaindale did, they needed to connect with the community as well as have structure from top to bottom.

“Books, movies, programs, classes and how your space is designed are just some of the many things that go into running a successful library,” Mills said. “We want to make SEE LIBRARY PAGE 11

Illinois boasts a history of beasts and legends

BY PHIL LUCIANO OF THE JOURNAL STAR, PEORIA Illinois boasts a hair-raising history rife with spine-tingling stories — and that’s just with politics.

Otherwise, the state’s heritage brims with tall tales of mythic beasts, spooky legends and ghost stories. A few of the favorites: Old Book: In the earliest years of the 20th century, the Peoria State Hospital in Bartonville was home to a dear, mute man known only as A. Bookbinder. Strong and steady, he would dig graves for asylum funerals, ending each by sobbing hysterically and leaning on a tree that became famously known as The Graveyard Elm. In June 1910, Old Book went the way of all men, and the entire asylum came out for his farewell. Near the end, an apparition appeared at the Graveyard Elm. The Graveyard Elm: Old Book, weeping and moaning as always. But as soon as startled officials cracked open his casket to double-check on the dead man’s whereabouts, the crying ceased and Old Book’s form vanished from the tree. Inside the coffin, onlookers spotted Old Book’s peaceful face.

Piasa Bird: The Piasa (pronounced PIE-ah-saw) Bird — actually more like a dragon, with red eyes, menacing beard, scales and lengthy tail — preyed on Native Americans, eating them alive until a local chief, Chief Ouatoga, lured it out of its cave, using himself as bait.

When the creature flew out, an ambush of warriors slew it with a volley of poisoned arrows. A mural was said to have been painted (possibly more than 3,000 years ago) as a commemoration of the event.

Though the original mural is gone, a new one has taken its place.

Cole Hollow Road Monster: In July 1972, an East Peoria teen reported he and friends had spotted a white, hairy, foul-smelling, 12-foot monster around Cole Hollow Road. “It lets out a long screech — like an old steamengine whistle, only more humany,” he said. Soon, as many as 200 armed men combed the area

but found nothing. During the search, one man accidentally shot himself trying to bag a deer. The hoopla died down before anyone else got hurt. In 1991, that teen said the report was a hoax. However, that same year, East Peoria police got a call from an anonymous local woman.

She said she’d been driving on Cole Hollow Road when an “8-foot-tall hairy beast” grabbed the back of her pickup truck and refused to let go. The “beast” finally relented and let her speed off. That sighting never has been explained.

The Enfield Horror: In the 1940s, a leaping monkey-like creature was spotted in Mount Vernon.

Thirty years later, a similar beast — though now with three legs and eyes as bright as flashlights — was seen several times in nearby Enfield, including one report from a local radio newsman. What was it? Guesses ranged from an alien to a deformed kangaroo to a chemistry experiment gone bad. (Source: Chicago Tribune) Resurrection Mary: Legend says that in the 1930s, a young woman got into a fight with her boyfriend and left a ballroom on Archer Avenue in Chicago. Down the road, she was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver who was never caught. Distraught, Mary’s parents laid her body to rest at Resurrection Cemetery, in the same outfit from the night of the dance. Since 1939, people have reported seeing a woman wearing a white dress on the side of the road.

Sometimes, she is picked up from the side of the road or given a ride home from a neighborhood dance, but she invariably vanishes when a car passes the cemetery.

Lawndale Thunderbird: In July of 1973 in the Logan County village of Lawndale, two massive birds swooped down; one carried off a child, only to drop the lad within seconds. Around that time, other sightings of oversized fowl were reported in central Illinois.

Farmer City Monster: The 1970s teemed with monster sightings, but this one — hulking shape, bright yellow eyes — was witnessed by a Farmer City cop. Reports began one July, when three teens encountered it at their campsite in a field near Salt

Creek, and spread to Bloomington, Heyworth and Waynesville. Everyone who saw it noted its glowing eyes, but it was not an aggressive creature.

At each encounter, the Farmer City Monster fled as soon as it had been spotted. (Source: Mysterious Heartland) Lake Michigan Sea Serpent: Between 1867 and 1890, Chicago newspapers raved over sightings of a scaled serpent 40 to 50 feet in length, very dark blue, with a grayish-white belly. In 1867, a fisherman gave a very detailed description of the creature, claiming it had come within 20 feet of his boat. It was swimming about a mile and a half off the shore of the south side of Chicago.

(Source: thecryptocrew.com) Murphysboro Mud Monster: This hairy, smelly biped (a.k.a. “Big Muddy”) was seen several times in the summer of 1973 lurking near Murphysboro along the banks of the Big Muddy River. Like Peoria’s Cole Hollow Road Monster, the Murphysboro creature was described as being 7 feet tall and covered in matted, white fur.

Police officers found several tracks at the scene of the first sighting, and even heard its “inhuman” cry.

After a few weeks of intense scrutiny, the Murphysboro Mud Monster disappeared as mysteriously as it arrived. (Source: Mysterious Heartland) Stump Pond Serpent: Between 1879 and 1968, fishermen in Perry County spun yarns about a serpent that dwelled in the murky waters of Stump Pond. The creature was described as having a thick, green body with black fins. It was large enough to rock boats. When the lake was partially drained in 1968, locals discovered catfish that weighed more than 30 pounds, so it is possible that the “Stump Pond Serpent” was a giant catfish.

ENDING JCA’s Keenan Hailey is Voyager Media 2018 Football Player of the Year

BY MARK GREGORY Editorial Director @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

Mike Alstott, JR Zwierzynski and Ty Isaac are just some of the names on the long list of historic running backs to wear the brown and white of Joliet Catholic.

After this season, however, they are all looking up at a new name atop the list of single-season rushing leaders.

While current players talk of Mike Ivlow, Josh Ferguson and Michael Johnson, future generations will be talking about – and chasing – Keenan Hailey.

The 5-foot, 9-inch, 185-pound wingback had a record-setting season, racking up 2,637 yards, passing Isaac atop the single-season list.

“I never thought this would happen,” Hailey said. “Passing up one of my favorite people that ever came out of JCA, that is just

a great feeling. That I can I be one of those legends, hopefully people will think that of me when I leave, is just a good feeling.”

Hailey added 120 receiving yards and a pair of scores to his gawdy rushing totals.

For his efforts, Hailey is the 2018 Voyager Media Football Player of the Year.

This season he is an Illinois High School Football Coaches Association Class 5A All-State selection, as well as East Suburban Catholic Conference Offensive Player of the Year, WJOL Offensive Player of the Year and member of the 20th annual EdgyTim.com All-State team.

Hailey led JCA to its state record 14th IHSA state title, a 35-27 win over Montini Catholic, coming back in the game to score the eventual final touchdown after an injury knocked him out early in the first half.

ALL-AREA FROM PAGE 5 It was the yardage on that final run that put him past Isaac for the single season record, giving Hailey the ultimate Hollywood ending to his JCA career.

“It was special for Keenan to be able to cap off his senior season like that,” JCA coach Jake Jaworski said of the final touchdown of the game. “Talking to him on the sideline when it didn’t look like he would be able to return, to lead us here and then be out would have been a terrible way to go out. He is the ultimate warrior, I had a feeling he would suck it up for a few carries.”

When Hailey went out of the game, he was still shy of Isaac’s record and it was the man he would eventually pass on the list that was one of his biggest voices of inspiration on the sidelines.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2018 | BUGLENEWSPAPERS.COM “It was awesome to have another voice in my ear to keep going,” Hailey said. “He was telling me, ‘be a man, this is what you were trained for. This is our legacy. This is our tradition – we are hard here.

He was a big confidence booster for me.”

While Hailey has the state championship ring and the record, he is waiting his chance to give back to the future Hillmen.

“There are young running backs that I see potential in and that I think can be the next thing,” Hailey said. “I will be waiting for the day when I can go back to state and cheer on my high school team. It will be a great time and I am waiting for it.”

throw a big chunk of your savings — or your new income — into something that’s going to go down in value like a rock. New cars lose about 60 percent of their value during the first four years of ownership. That means a $28,000 car would be worth around $11,000 after that period.

That’s not a smart investment.

If I were you, I’d shop around and pay cash for a nice, slightly used $10,000 car. You can get a great automobile for that kind of

money, plus you’ll still have the majority of your savings.

Congratulations, young man.

You’ve done a great job!

NURSE FROM PAGE 2 and I was thinking what I would do if I was that sick and I couldn’t take care of my kids,” Lisa said. “My main motivator was for the kids and that Dr. Cassidy is so nice and he treats the nurses so well and I had never met his wife, but I figured if he is this nice, she must be too – and she is.

“Once I got to know her, I wanted to give it more. I would have been disappointed if I wasn’t a match.

She is such an incredible person.”

Pam and Lisa’s surgeries were performed successfully at Northwestern Memorial Hospital on April 27, 2018 and thus far, it has been a success.

“I notice the difference in how I feel a lot more this time compared to my first transplant because I wasn’t so sick before that surgery,” Pam said. “Now I feel amazing. I have energy and the pain in my leg is gone.”

are pleased with the recognition, but both know there is a lot more work to be done.

“Our next goal in mind is to start looking for a new strategic plan,” Bradley said. “We started a fiveyear strategic plan back in 2013, so we’re just finishing all the goals from that, but pretty soon here we will be looking for another plan to carry us over for the next five years.”

Lisa said after the operation, she finds herself in better health than before.

“Now, I say I am better than before because I am eating better, I am watching what I am doing more,” Lisa said. “Since the surgery, I have lost more than 15 pounds because I am taking better care of myself. I have to watch my diet now because I am at a higher risk of developing high blood pressure or diabetes. So, now, I am better than I was before.”

The bond between the two is now something that will be there.

“She will always be a special person to me and I am sure vice versa,” Lisa said. “Dr. Cassidy is very grateful and makes it very known.”

Pam is also extremely thankful for the donation.

“It’s hard to find words to describe what Lisa did for me,” she said. “I said thank you a million times to her. She’s amazing, an angel.”
