On Thursday, June 14, at approximately 6:14 a.m., an officer with the Villa Park Police was on patrol in the 300 block of East Roosevelt Road at an extended stay residence. This officer located a vehicle parked, in which the registered owner was listed as missing-endangered, as well as wanted on two out of state full extradition warrants listing the charges of burglary and theft.

Officers confirmed the registered owner was staying at the extended stay residence, then made entry into the unit and located the subject, Justin Neil Caughey. Caughey was taken into custody without incident. He was charged with being a fugitive from justice and was transported to the DuPage County Jail.

Members of the public are reminded that these complaints contain only charges and are not proof of the defendant’s guilt.

Elmhurst Hospital cardiologist praises new device Twenty shocks, ‘world’s smallest’ pump save heart attack patient

Heart disease plagued James Bulawa’s father, who experienced his first heart attack at age 47. So when James’ doctors recommended an angiogram when he was 37, he was anxious to learn how his risky family history and high cholesterol might be affecting him. The test showed that James had a moderate (30 percent) blockage in a coronary artery.

“They told me to eat a healthy diet and I should be okay,” he recalled.

Bulawa says he wishes he had seen the doctor more regularly after that incident because over the next six years, his coronary artery disease worsened.

“At 42, I started to feel pain in my arm and my gut didn’t feel quite right,” he said.

His condition led to placement of a stent to prop open an artery, which had become 99 percent blocked.

Following the 2005 procedure, Bulawa did well. He stayed fit and continued his active life of regular workouts and frequent travel for his job as a regional sales manager. But that changed in the middle of a workout on March 12, 2018, when the now 54-year-old experienced the same symptoms he had during his 2005 heart attack.

An ambulance arrived at his gym about two SUBMITTED PHOTO The Independent minutes after being called and rushed Bulawa James Bulawa, 54, is in cardiac rehab following a procedure in which Elmhurst Hosto the Elmhurst Hospital ER. pital doctors inserted Impella, the world’s smallest heart pump. The device took over At the hospital At the ER, Bulawa went into cardiac arrest.

Emergency physician Matthew Pisano, MD, had staff administer about 20 shocks with an external defibrillator to revive him. Bulawa was given medication to stabilize his heart’s electrical activity.

pumping blood while doctors inserted two stents in the blocked artery that caused him to have a heart attack.

Dr. Pisano called upon Pratik Parikh, MD, an independent cardiac interventionalist and a member of Elmhurst Hospital’s medical staff, after noting a suspicious pattern in Bulawa’s EKG. Dr. Parikh says the arrest was caused by

ventricular fibrillation, the most serious kind of heart rhythm disturbance, in which the lower part of the heart quivers and can’t pump blood effectively.

The doctors said what caused the heart at-

tack that struck Bulawa at the gym was a clot blocking the artery that was stented in 2005.

The problem needed to be fixed promptly, but Bulawa’s weakened heart would need help to effectively move blood to critical organs during the procedure.

Dr. Parikh used Impella, the world’s smallest heart pump at 5 mm in diameter (about 1/5 in.), a device that has only been available for about five years.

“The Impella is threaded up to the heart, from a small incision in the groin,” said Dr. Parikh. “It’s also attached outside the body to a machine that pulls the blood and takes over ejecting it.”

The device allows the heart to rest and recover during the procedure. Dr. Parikh was able to clear the obstruction and put in two new stents.

About the “world’s smallest pump” “The use of Impella was lifesaving,” said Dr. Parikh. “It allowed us to focus on the repair [at a reasonable rate], rather than having to do anything hastily.

As a result, his heart function was able to recover rapidly.

He added that Balawa’s heart’s ability to pump improved from around 10 percent to 70 percent within just a few days.

“I’m happy to be alive and that I was in the right place at the right time,” said Bulawa, who presented thank-you cards and gifts to the paramedics and hospital’s nursing staff.

“They took good care of me,” he said. “And the ER folks came up to see me (in my hospital room). A couple of their interns talked about how glad they were to see me revived. It made them appreciate the purpose in what they do.”

In response to the recent Equifax data breach, State Rep. Deb Conroy (D-Villa Park) co-sponsored House Bill 4095, which would prevent credit agencies from charging consumers fees to freeze their credit. The bill was signed into law last week.

“I helped introduce legislation that ensured that consumers who trusted the security of Equifax would not foot the bill for freezing their accounts due to the company’s reckless behavior,” said Conroy. “Equifax’s mistakes put the personal information of millions of Illinoisans at risk.

This law is a big step in ensuring that the rights of consumers are put ahead of the profits of large corporations.”

Equifax announced it had suffered a massive data breach of sensitive consumer information from May to July of 2017, impacting as many as 143 million Americans. In Illinois, the breach is believed to have jeopardized the personal and financial information of more than 5.4 million residents. In order to protect oneself from identity theft, customers of Equifax were encouraged by the Attorney General’s office to consider placing a freeze on their credit and sign up for free credit reports. House Bill 4095 now requires that agencies like Equifax provide this service for free.

“The Equifax breach was a huge blow to the confidence of many consumers who trusted their services,” said Conroy. “It was unfair for Equifax to ask that customers pay for the mistakes of a large institution. This bill is a huge win for consumers.

Residents who are still concerned about their risks after the data breach should reach out the Attorney General’s office for resources and more information.”

Bellwood man gets 22 years for role in Bensenville murder Suspect caught lying on the stand; State voids plea agreement

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin announced last week that Kenneth Bardlett, 24, of Bellwood, has been sentenced to 22 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) for his role in the 2014 murder of Bensenville tobacco store owner Hussein Saghir.

On March 27, 2014, Bardlett entered a plea of guilty to one count of Aggravated Battery with a Firearm, a Class X Felony, for the crime. As part of his plea agreement, Bardlett agreed to testify truthfully against any and all co-defendants involved in the murder. In exchange, the State agreed to a sentencing recommendation of twenty years to be served at 85%.

During the trial against one of his co-defendants however, Bardlett lied while on the witness stand. Consequently, the State filed a motion to

withdraw the plea agreement. This motion was granted by the court and First Degree Murder charges were reinstated against Bardlett.

Additionally, the Court also found Bardlett in contempt of court for “engaging in unruly verbal and physical behavior” and for “providing false testimony” and sentenced Bardlett to 180 days in the County jail with credit for time served.

Two other men, both from Chicago, were charged in the murder - Tremayne Davis, 27 and Stephan Russell, 25. On December 2, 2016, Davis entered a plea of guilty to one count of Attempt Armed Robbery with a Firearm (Class 1 Felony) and sentenced to eight years in the IDOC. Following a three-day-long trial in November 2017, a jury found Russell guilty of two counts of First Degree Murder and one count of Attempt

Armed Robbery with a Firearm.

Russell’s next court appearance was scheduled for June 18 for sentencing in front of Judge Daniel Guerin.

At approximately 5:45 p.m., January 19, 2014, Bardlett, Davis and Russell went to the Sam’s Tobacco and Foodmart on Irving Park Road in Bensenville. While Davis remained in the vehicle, Bardlett and Russell encountered Saghir and his brother outside the store as the men were preparing to close up for the evening.

Following a brief altercation between the men, Saghir was shot and killed.

After the murder, Bardlett, Davis and Russell fled the scene. An investigation led by the Bensenville Police Department, the Major Crimes Task Force and the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office led authorities to the men.

“Regardless of what Mr. Bardlett

has said or done in the past in relation to this case, the fact remains that Mr. Saghir is no longer here, able to share in the lives of his loved ones,” Berlin said. “For his role in the murder, Mr. Bardlett will now spend the next twenty-two years of his life behind bars. Our judicial system is a truth-seeking process and for this system to work properly it must be safeguarded from misstatements, mischaracterizations and especially outright lies aimed at distorting the truth. Mr. Bardlett had a deal – to tell the truth when called upon. He chose to ignore that deal in an effort to infect the judicial system and in doing so added years to his prison sentence.”

Bardlett will be required to serve 100% of his sentence. He will receive credit for time served in jail awaiting trial.

Linden Oaks offers programs for those struggling with opioid addiction consequences, such as acting on cravings.

A second option is shortterm management of withdrawal symptoms while the body rids itself of opioids. As is the case with MAT, this approach is followed by counseling and other long-term support. For those choosing this option, Linden Oaks eases withdrawal symptoms in the medically monitored inpatient detoxification unit. There, under the care of a psychia-

trist and other Linden Oaks addiction specialists, support, monitoring and medications for specific symptoms, such as anti-nausea pills, are provided.

Says Dr. Weiner, “This approach can work for some, especially if they’ve only been using opioids for a short time. But in general, studies have found up to a 90 percent relapse rate for people who don’t use medications to begin their period of sobriety from

opioids.”

For those choosing to begin sobriety with the help of Linden Oaks’ MAT Clinic, services are available without a physician’s order to anyone who wants to begin the process of change. A patient can start at the clinic, or move there after an inpatient, residential or outpatient treatment program.

In addition to the MAT Clinic, Linden Oaks Addiction Services offers a variety of treatment levels, includ-

ing weekly outpatient therapy sessions, structured programs that run 3-6 hours each weekday, and a full-time residential program. Linden Oaks offers addiction treatment services in Naperville, Plainfield, St. Charles, Hinsdale and Arlington Heights.

For more information, visit www.lindenoaks.org.

For immediate assistance and a free and confidential behavioral health assessment, call the Linden Oaks 24/7 Help Line at (630) 305-5027.

Uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms can be a major barrier for those attempting to recover from addiction to opioids.

“You might experience bad flu-like symptoms, such as muscle aches and fatigue,” says Aaron Weiner, PhD, Director of Addiction Services at Linden Oaks Behavioral Health in Naperville. “There are ways of managing these symptoms. Although withdrawal from opioids can’t kill you, it can be extremely unpleasant, stopping many from wanting to move forward towards health.”

The first option, ongoing medication-assisted therapy, can be initiated either in an inpatient or outpatient environment. Some addiction programs administer methadone, but at the Linden Oaks Medication-Assisted Therapy (MAT) Clinic, patients receive Suboxone, which is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, which is used to reverse overdoses.

“Buprenorphine is less sedating than methadone and easier than methadone to taper off from when the person is ready to stay sober without any pharmaceutical assistance,” says Dr. Weiner.

According to the Merck Manual Consumer Version, “In many countries, buprenorphine has replaced methadone in detoxification programs.”

SWD Inc. begins work on 25,000 square foot extension On Thursday, June 7, SWD Inc. held a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate a 26,000 square foot. expansion of their existing 160,000 square foot facility at 910 So. Stiles Dr. in Addison. In attendance were Village of Addison officials, representatives from BMO Harris Bank, and members of Laub Construction.

With this addition, SWD projects growth of 15% in year-over-year sales and expects that anywhere from 12-15 new positions will be created.

The current expansion is the second phase of a project that added 60,000 square feet in 2012. The extra 26,000 square feet will help with process flow in this state-of-the-art coating production facility. It has been designed to allow for more warehousing with an automated racking system for part storage along

with new office space for centralized shipping, receiving, and order entry processing.

The $3 million addition follows a series of investments. This expansion is aligned with SWD’s mission to “bring our customers the highest level of quality and service in the metal finishing industry.”

SWD Inc. specializes in Black Oxide, Passivation of Stainless Steel, Phosphate coatings (Zinc, Manganese & Iron), Fastener Sorting and licensed application of High Corrosion Magni, Dörken and Yuken coating systems. Last year, SWD introduced a state-of-the-art robotic organic coating line with unpreceSUBMITTED PHOTO Addison Independent dented production capabilities.

This project is expected to take The Delawder family and officials from the Village of Addison break ground on a new expansion of the six months and should be finished by SWD Inc. facility at 910 S.

Bill proposed to keep sexual predators out of schools

SUBMITTED PHOTOS Addison Independent

Above: Who doesn’t love PlayDoh? These students were rolling out letter shapes and making Playdoh pizzas. It was part of Kindergarten Camp offered by District 4 Schools, held at the Addison Early Learning Center (AELC).

Below: Ms. Zaccariello and her students were reading about the letter S, drawing S’s in the air and naming things that begin with S, such as snake. It was one of the activities at District 4’s Kindergarten Camp.

A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers led by State Senator Tom Cullerton (D-Villa Park) is working to protect students from predatory educators.

Cullerton filed Senate Bill 3620 this week in response to a Chicago Tribune investigation that showed 72 Chicago school employees were accused of sexual misconduct over a 10-year period without proper reporting from the schools to authorities.

“This is a catastrophic failure, and we have to do everything we can to prevent something like this from happening again,” he said.

The investigation showed Chicago Public Schools conducted shoddy background checks which led to the hiring of educators with red flags in their records. Several went on to commit abuses at CPS schools and many were hired again elsewhere even after being investigated.

“Our children should feel safe at school,” Cullerton said. “My wife and I have three sons. We want to be concerned about their test scores, not whether there are predators employed in the buildings where they study.”

The bill aims to remedy several shortfalls exposed in the investigation.

The Tribune found that Chicago Public School districts do not have a standard protocol for investigating reports of sexual misconduct.

In response, Senate Bill 3620 puts in place several preventative measures, including immediate reassignment to

non-classroom duties for an employee that is under investigation by the Illinois Superintendent of Education.

The bill also requires school boards to report all credible cases of sexual assault or abuse to the State Board of Education and establishes a hearing procedure for student victims. The ISBE would also be required to monitor the school background check process throughout Illinois.

To ensure predatory educators or employees don’t bounce from school to school, the bill also makes it easier for school districts to warn the public and others of the fired employees’ behavior.

It does so by amending the Freedom of Information Act to allow school districts to disclose investigative findings to other districts if an employee was disciplined or fired for sexual abuse.

In addition, it requires any arresting agency to report an arrest of a licensed educator to the superintendent of the school that employs the educator.

“By closing these loopholes we not only protect our children, we take the first step in restoring the trust in our public schools which are so vital to the success of our state,” Cullerton said.

The bill would also make it a criminal offense for any school authority figure to engage in sexual relations with a student, regardless of age.

The measure is sponsored in the House by State Rep. David McSweeney (R-Barrington Hills).

District 4 offers Kindergarten Camp The Addison Early Learning Center (AELC) is the home for Addison School District 4’s latest educational offering, Kindergarten Camp. On Monday, June 11, seven classes of 4- and 5-year-olds began to get a feel for what school will be like when they start kindergarten in August.

The camp is three weeks long, running Monday through Friday mornings from June 11-29.

Some students are familiar with the AELC, having attended preschool at that location, but there are also students for whom this is their first experience with formal education.

A main goal of the camp is to help all of the students acquire the skills they need to be kindergarten-ready and this program is intended to help them learn and play together to reach that goal. Carmela Getz, administrator for the program, said that literacy, math, and physical education components are built into each day.

An additional part of the program includes coffee time for parents on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, where parents can drop their children off and then stay to learn more about kindergarten and their children’s future school.

Measure to reform legislative ethics process signed into law There will now be stronger protections in place to investigate ethics complains in the state capital, thanks to a new measure supported by State Senator Tom Cullerton (D-Villa Park).

House Bill 138 makes important changes to the Legislative Ethics Commission and Office of the Legislative Inspector General such as allowing the Legislative Inspector General to investigate claims independently, without first getting approval from the Legislative Ethics Commission. Among other changes, the measure also mandates better defined and transparent reporting of complaints at the Commission and before the Inspector General.

“We should have zero tolerance for sexual harassment,” Cullerton

said. “Survivors of sexual harassment and assault rely on extreme levels of bravery and courage in order to come forward. It’s our job to ensure that their complaint is being reviewed in a timely, transparent and orderly manner.”

This new law passed the Senate and House with overwhelming bipartisan support.

“The #MeToo Movement is bringing much needed change to rules and culture in workplaces across the country,” Cullerton said. “The time to take action is now. The people of Illinois have spoken. We will not and cannot support a culture that promotes inappropriate behavior.”

Other new rules outlined in the law, including but not limited to: • Requirements that the Commis-

sion shall appoint an Acting Inspector General with 45 days; • Creates a backstop so that if an extended vacancy occurs in the office of the LIG, the Inspector General for the Auditor General would have jurisdiction over the complaints • Requires a public hearing and

opportunity for public input before the adoption of any new commission rules; • Allows the Inspector General for the Secretary of State, through the Attorney General, to file complaints with the Executive Ethics Commission regarding lobbyist sexual ha-

Willowbrook’s Perkins named coach of the year School announces fall sports practice start dates

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Willowbrook boys basketball coach was a recent recipient of the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Class 4A District 7 coach of the year honor.

Perkins was honored during a banquet at Illinois State University.

Perkins has been a coach in the Willowbrook program for 10 years and completed his seventh season as head coach this past school year. Perkins is a 2004 graduate of Willowbrook and played on the basketball team.

Perkins’ 2017-2018 team won the program’s first regional title since 2004 (which was Perkins’ senior year under the late Dennis Doyle) and advanced

to a sectional final. Willowbrook also set a school record by going 26-6. The previous record was set a year earlier.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by your peers with this title, but this award certainly is bigger than just me,” he told the District 88 website.

“It takes the help of so many people to get to this level of success as a team. It takes support from the administration and commitment from the coaching staff and players. This recognition is a reflection of the hard work all those individuals give to the boys basketball program at Willowbrook.”

Perkins is a special-education teacher in the District 88 Transition Program, which helps individuals ages 18 to 21 who have disabilities learn life skills, obtain job training in a community setting and transition to life after District 88.

out the season. We took some losses, but they were competitive losses that prepared us for the state tournament.”

Godinez said a number of factors played into the team’s long playoff run. “They had good communication and a strong soccer IQ,” he said.

“They improved and they worked together. The girls knew they needed each other much more. They relied on each other more as the season went on.”

Godinez was in his first year as the Knights’ head coach. “They have an ability to adapt to different coaching,” he said. “They had gone through a coaching change. Grace Fuller had different coaches freshman, sophomore and senior year.

They did a great job adapting to a different style of coaching.”

Fuller and Hurt were the team leaders in goals. “For us it was more about unselfish play,” said Godinez.

“We had a lot of people score for us, it was not just Grace and Olivia. The distribution of goals to other players was important. Sophie Zanoni, Bella Leslie, Abi Wagner and Sophie Hurt, who is a freshman, were some of the others who scored big goals for us.

We had two girls who led us in scoring, but we also had other girls who came up with some big goals for us.”

Godinez said a pair of unsung heroes on the team were Sophie Hurt and Annie Guinan. “With them our defensive awareness went up,” he said. “Sophie Hurt scored goals and

She did really well in the playoffs and got better. They anchored the back and managed the back for us. To have a sophomore and a freshman in the back guiding juniors and seniors on the outside doesn’t happen very often. They solidified the back for us.”

Godinez noted the team loses seniors Fuller, Zanoni, Jalene Pina and goalie Rochelle Spizzirri. “We have a good core coming back,” he said.

“It’s a young core with sophomores, juniors and a couple freshmen. We should have the opportunity to do well again.”

Bond set for man accused of shooting at Stratford Square Mall DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Bloomingdale Director of Public Safety Frank Giammarese announced last week that bond had been set for a Glendale Heights man accused of shooting a loss prevention officer at the Burlington Coat Factory store at Stratford Square Mall in Bloomingdale. Keonte Griffin, 23, of Glendale Heights, appeared at a bond hearing, where Judge Jeffrey MacKay set bond at $750,000 with 10% to apply. Griffin has been charged with one count of Aggravated Battery with a Firearm, a Class X Felony; and, one count of Possession of a Weapon by a Felon, a Class 3 Felony.

At approximately 1:28 p.m. on June 12, 2018, officers with the Bloomingdale Police Department were dispatched to the Stratford Square Mall for a report of shots fired. Upon their arrival, officers found the Loss Prevention Officer and victim sitting at the store with both men suffering from gunshot wounds. The Loss Prevention Officer had been shot once in the shoulder and the defendant had been shot once through his hand and into his thigh.

It is alleged that prior to the arrival of police, the victim had escorted Griffin from the store after Griffin

allegedly urinated into a bottle while in a changing room and then kicked the bottle over in the changing room, spilling the contents. It is alleged that Griffin wanted to return to the store but was prohibited from doing so by the victim. It is further alleged that Griffin then pulled a loaded gun and shot the victim. A brief struggle ensued resulting in Griffin being shot.

Both men received treatment for their injuries.

“The allegations against Mr. Griffin are extremely serious and will be met with the full force and effect of the law,” Berlin said. “I would like to thank the Loss Prevention Officer for his efforts in disarming and detaining the suspect in this case and note that it is certainly good news that he is expected to make a full recovery from his injuries.”

Griffin’s next court appearance was scheduled for June 19, 2018, in front of Judge MacKay. Members of the public are reminded that these complaints contain only charges and are not proof of the defendant’s guilt.

A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government’s burden to prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

The Independent Newspapers

Who are the people in your neighborhood?

Mr. Rogers made the most of his neighborhood. I try to do the same – by walking the different streets in the name of “exercise.”

As a bonus, along the way I make interesting and not-so-interesting observations. You can learn a lot by walking the neighborhood, which is completely different from casing the neighborhood. Which I do not condone or recommend. In any circumstance.

While walking the streets (not streetwalking, which I also do not condone) you can practice your botany skills, learning which trees bud out first in the spring and which flowers bloom when. You note which neighbors grow their own vegetables and who cultivates rosebushes and perennial beds. You also discover who prefers low-maintenance shrubs instead of finicky roses and who takes the hands-off approach one step further by sticking artificial geraniums in their window boxes.

You learn who is planning for an addition – lumber in the driveway.

You also learn who is planning for an addition – infant stroller box next to a garbage can. Yards with swing sets and driveways with little bikes make for houses with children. Same goes for sidewalk chalk art.

Some people have fire pits surrounded by circles of lawn chairs and tiki torches. I think those people might make good friends. Ditto that for decks and front porches with porch swings. Other people have bird feeders. Feeding the birds is a nice thing to do. People who feed birds have friendship potential written all over them. They probably hobnob with the neighbors with fire pits and porches. Speaking of birds, remnants of a tiny blue eggshell lying on the sidewalk reveals baby robins have recently hatched in a tree nearby.

A home’s size does not dictate the expanse of the corresponding garage.

Tiny homes often have colossal garages. A person’s garage is their castle. Makes me wish I had a bigger garage. #garageenvy.

One of the most critical and important aspects to pay keen

By

JILL PERTLER Contributer

attention to during neighborhood walks is dogs. Dogs may be man’s best friend, but they do not always give the same love to walkers – male, female or of the zombie variety.

You can usually tell friendly dogs from the non-friendly sort by examining their tails. An upwardly wagging tail is a happy tail and a dog’s tail does not lie. Still it’s safer to give dogs a large berth and cross to the other side of the street when confronted with one of unknown temperament.

Sometimes you come upon a cat, but you can’t be sure which house the cat owns because cats prefer to be mysterious that way. Once a kitten followed me for about three blocks.

I got to a busy intersection and was afraid to cross for fear the kitten would get hit by a car. Luckily he or she decided to head to her own home instead of following me to mine.

During an early morning stroll you learn who recently cleaned out a closet or garage because they have a bunch of stuff sitting on the curb next to a piece of cardboard with FREE written on it in large capital letters.

A yard sale indicates a neighbor has cleaned out their entire basement and not just a closet. A moving sale lets you know you will soon get new neighbors. And new neighbors can be exciting. You’ll never know if they’ll feed the birds or install a new fire pit or invite you over to sit on their deck.

The possibilities are endless.

I’m pretty sure Mr. Rogers would agree.

DuPage Animal Services unveils specialty veterinary vehicle DuPage County Animal Services and DuPage Animal Friends today unveiled a new, state-of-the-art, 26foot, specialty veterinary vehicle for DuPage County Animal Services (DCAS). The specialty veterinary vehicle is the result of a donation from the Brooks McCormick Jr. Trust for Animal Rights Law and Policy to DuPage Animal Friends, made possible by DuPage Animal Friends board member Amanda Yancey.

The specialty veterinary vehicle is equipped with a fully-operational surgical suite, treatment/exam area, and housing for cats and dogs.

The vehicle is capable of support-

ing mobile spay/neuter and other surgical procedures, dentistry, diagnostic procedures such as X-ray, blood work, grooming, microchipping, vaccinations and more. When not providing medical services, the vehicle can also double as a mobile adoption unit.

“For the first time ever, DCAS will be able to provide targeted mobile spay/neuter and veterinary services to our rescue partners and to the public, provide medical assistance via emergency disaster response and mobilize our humane education and adoption efforts,” said Animal Services Committee Chairman Brian Krajewski.

Wisconsin’s Premier Show!

Visit Bullitt County, the Wine Capital of Kentucky

Just 20 minutes south of downtown Louisville, join us for the unique experience our Bullitt County Wine & Whiskey Trail offers.

With four wineries boasting more than 1,000 national and international awards, it’s no wonder Bullitt County is known as the Wine Capital of Kentucky. You can truly taste the dedication and passion of our local wine makers – Brooks Hill, Wight Meyer, MillaNova and Forest Edge wineries.

Bullitt County is also home to the Jim Beam American Stillhouse and the Four Roses Bourbon Experience. Come see how corn, rye and barley, combined with our area’s natural limestone-filtered water, come together to create some of the best bourbon in the world.

To start your spirit-rich journey, simply pick up a copy of our Wine & Whiskey Trail Brochure at any of the six trail locations, and when all of your visits have been validated, redeem the completed brochure for a free souvenir glass at the new Bullitt County Visitor Center in Shepherdsville, KY.

Visitor Center open 24/7

Incorporated in 1883 along the banks of the Wisconsin River, there are 727 lakes in Lincoln County and 101,000 acres of public recreational land that offers forests and trail systems. We are “The City of Parks” because we have more than 6,000 acres of public parkland offering recreational activities galore: fishing, boating, camping, hiking/walking, ATV trails, horseback riding, snowmobiling, snow shoeing, bike and cross-country skiing trails, a new aquatic center and indoor ice arena. Council Grounds State Park and a portion of the Ice Age Trail also calls Merrill home.

Nature’s gifts are abundant here with cranberry bogs, maple syrup production and a world-renowned evergreen industry.

Merrill is historic with public buildings, three-arch stone bridge, 19 homes on the National Register of Historic Places and three additional districts on the State Historical Society. We also have an active historical museum.

The Merrill Chamber of Commerce’s information foyer is open 24-hours a day for your convenience located at 705 N. Center Avenue. Visit us at www.merrillchamber.org.
