Governor, Lt. Governor come to DuPage County Present task force ideas to reduce government, save billions ‘with a B’

By Dee Longfellow For The Independent

Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner and Lt. Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti were in Oak Brook on Monday, January 4 to attend a meeting of the DuPage County Mayors and Managers Conference (DMMC). At the meeting, Sanguinetti formally presented a 406-page document to Gov. Rauner containing 27 recommendations of the Local Government Consolidation and Unfunded Mandates Task Force, which she has led for the past 11 months. Working along with the Task Force were students from the Center for Governmental Studies at Northern Illinois University, who helped collect and analyze data.

Gov. Rauner said the goal of the Task Force was to present ways for government to operate more efficiently; to stop the proliferation of taxing bodies in Illinois, which has more units of government than any other state in the country; and, to allow decisions about consolidation or dissolution to be decided at the local level.

Among the recommendations

Bensenville Police Reports

• GOVERNOR

Continued from page 1 is a four-year moratorium on new taxing bodies; giving residents the ability to consolidate or dissolve government entities by referendum; and, urging consolidation of units of governments especially where there is duplication or overlapping of services.

“It’s been wonderful to collect testimony and actually come to an accord on 27 proposals,” the Lt. Governor said. “The idea is to give power back to our local leaders and local residents so you and I can determine what’s right for our own communities, rather than big government.”

Gov. Rauner stressed that the document was not a partisan effort.

“That’s very important, number one,” he said. “Number two, if we implement the recommendations [in this report], we could save billions of dollars every year – and that’s billions with a ‘B’ not an ‘M’ – billions of dollars every year, year after year.”

The governor echoed Sanguinetti’s comments about empowering local communities to make decisions without “big government” interference. He said he would never force his will on another community any more than he would want some-

one to force their will on his.

Rauner said business owners tell him it’s the property tax burden that makes it hard to do business in Illinois.

“It’s is dragging our economy down, it’s pushing great jobs away, our careers away, but most of all, it increases the overall cost of government. It’s money that could be going to our schools, our classrooms, our teachers and students, that’s where our money should be going. Instead we’re spending money on government and bureaucracy. It’s also money that could be going toward helping our most vulnerable families.”

Rauner called the report a “critical” document presented on one of the “most important days in the history of Illinois.”

“Today is a great day for the taxpayers of Illinois. We can transform our state through this effort,” he said. “This document, if we implemented it, the recommendations here could save billions of dollars every year for the people of Illinois.

This is major, major transformation we’re talking about.”

The document can be viewed at illinois.gov/ltg/issues/localgovernments/Documents.

Nearly a third of adult orthodontic patients nationwide have received treatment as youngsters, but their teeth have since shifted because bydidJeffrey T.toBoland they not continue wear a postLicensed Orthodontic Specialist treatment retainer. This statistic clearly demonstrates the importance of wearing a retainer at the end of treatment. Once braces are removed, the “retention phase” begins and lasts for a minimum of 24 months. During this time, patients must commit to wearing a removable retainer that will keep his or her teeth in their desired positions. In some cases, it may be recommended that adult patients, in particular, wear their retainers at night indefinitely. An alternative to this involves permanently attaching small wires to the back of the teeth to hold them in place.

The importance of wearing a retainer after braces cannot be overstated. Otherwise you may find that several years after your braces come off, you begin to have orthodontic problems again. The confidence you feel when you smile is worth all the effort you put in to your continued retainer use. To schedule a free orthodontic consultation, please call our office. Our office hours are by appointment. Straighter Smiles Are Our Specialty!

P.S. After teeth are moved with orthodontic treatment, it takes several months for the periodontal ligaments (the fibers that attach teeth to the jawbone) to adjust to the new position.

greatly varying styles, form and media, are on exhibit. Judging the show’s entries is performed by an outside Chicago-area artist or gallery owner. Prizes are awarded during the reception.

For the member shows, each member can enter one piece not previously shown in the EAG gallery. Included in this show’s entries is a piece entitled “Jane on the Heath,” an oil on panel by local artist Susan Janssen, who uses brush as well as pal-

ette knife.

“The inspiration for this painting is Jane Eyre,” she said.

“I’ve always admired the character’s resilience. If she were a real person, I’d imagine she could look you square in the eye.”

Susan has taken studio art classes ever since graduating college. Her painting “Leaving the Borghese” is the cover art for Daniel Burns’ novel, Recalled to Life.

Most of the items entered into the show are for sale, and a portion of the proceeds benefits the Guild and the Elmhurst Art Museum.

Operated by the Elmhurst Artists’ Guild, the EAG gallery features original contemporary artworks of its members.

Exhibits are partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council.

College recognized for sustainability efforts ELMHURST — Elmhurst College’s gardens and food scrap composting program have won recognition from the National Wildlife Federation and the Illinois Food Scrap Coalition.

The National Wildlife Federation recently designated the College’s gardens a Certified Wildlife Habitat because they help wildlife thrive by

providing ample food, water, cover and a place to raise their young. The College’s many gardens, but specifically the recently-dedicated Monarch Butterfly Waystation, are designed to support pollinators and other wildlife.

In addition, the College has reduced chemical pesticide use across campus to encourage the survival of critical

wildlife populations.

The College also received a Gold Partner designation in the We Compost program, run by the Illinois Food Scrap Coalition, which reports Elmhurst has generated more than 21,000 pounds of food scrap compost just in this academic year so far—keeping more than 10 tons of waste out of landfills.

New year, new resolutions I

Jill Pertler SLICES OF LIFE

to make a resolute resolution to fix, firm and duct tape all the things in our lives that are chipped, chubby or otherwise crumbling and non-functional.

The task could be perceived as overwhelming – fixing all

the things that need fixing, because there is a lot that can be fixed. At least based on the view from my cracked window.

But I’ve always been energized by a good challenge and approach the changing of the calendar with the enthusiasm and vigor of Richard Simmons in a 80s workout video (but without the sequins).

I’m one of those annoying people who enjoys coming up with goals for self-improvement, personal growth and poundage loss. I type them up and put them in a folder aptly

named, “goals.” Each year at this time I take a peek to check my progress over the last twelve months.

And then I write new goals, which are often similar to the old goals that I never quite met the year before – or the year before that. I enjoy coming up with goals; I never claimed I had the aptitude for achieving them.

A lesser person might find this discouraging. Not me! I am optimistic about my goalsetting and maybe even someday goal-completing capabili-

ties. So what if I’ve been losing the same 10 pounds since the last century? At least I’m goaldriven and goal-oriented. That should count for something. I suppose it does, just not on the bathroom scale.

As with most things in life, my husband and I have differing opinions about resolutions.

I adopt them; he ignores them.

In his eyes, resolutions are a waste of time. He doesn’t need no stinking resolution to get the job done. It’s infuriating.

Addison Trail boys basketball team splits pair of games Blazers girls gymnastics team making progress

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

The Addison Trail boys basketball team split a pair of recent games with Fenton and Proviso East.

In a 68-39 non-conference win over Fenton, Addison Trail held its opponent to single-digit scoring in each of the first three quarters.

Colten Noel led the Blazers with 14 points. Stevan Jones added nine points,while Jack Kalbas and Eric Grygo each had eight points. Kalbas had 2 three-pointers. Ryan Zygowicz, Grygo and Michael Williams each had six rebounds.

Nick Conrad had four assists, while Jones had five steals.

Noel blocked two shots.

In a 65-52 West Suburban

Conference Gold Division loss to Proviso East, after playing to a 13-13 first-quarter tie, Addison Trail was down 27-24 at halftime and 46-40 after three quarters.

Williams led the Blazers with 24 points on 8-for-11 shooting (6-for-7 from the freethrow line and 2-for-2 from the 3-point line). Grygo added 13 points, while Noel had six points. Grygo also had 10 rebounds, while Noel had six rebounds and Williams pulled in five rebounds. Kalbas had five assists, while Grygo and Williams each had two steals.

Grygo had two blocked shots.

Addison Trail was 8-5 overall through its first 13 games.

Grygo was leading the team in scoring at 11.0 points per game. Williams was averaging 7.4 points, while Kalbas was averaging 6.9 points and Noel was averaging 6.6 points.

Zygowicz was averaging 5.2 points. Grygo was the team’s leading rebounder at 7.5 per

game. Noel was averaging 4.8 rebounds and Williams was averaging 4.3 rebounds.

Kalbas was tops in assists with 35. Conrad had 33. Grygo had a team-high 19 steals, while Conrad had 15. Grygo also was tops in blocks with 13.

Kalbas was leading the team in 3-pointers made with 12.

Zygowicz had 11 threes. Zach Novak was the team’s top freethrow shooter at .727. Williams was second at .714.

against Downers Grove South.

At the Hersey invitational, Addison Trail recorded a 125.025 score. The Blazers followed that up with a 126.175 score at their own Tumbleland invitational.

“Both invites were great finishes,” said Addison Trail coach Kyle Padera.

Padera has been pleased with the team’s consistency of late as well as the way it has rallied around injured teammates.

“Right now we are improving on consistency,” he said. “I Addison Trail like that girls are stepping up girls gymnastics to fill spots voided by injured The Addison Trail girls gym- girls. It shows our willingness nastics team has made steady progress this season.

The Blazers opened their schedule scoring 117.6 points at the Glenbard West quad.

Addison Trail then scored 119.550 against Glenbard South in a dual meet and followed that up with a 126.20 effort in a West Suburban Conference Gold Division meet

Schmelter leading the way for Addison Trail girls bowling team Coach Gilliam pleased with direction program is heading

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

Addison Trail girls bowling coach Steve Gilliam has seen progress both on the team and individual ends as the Blazers head into the home stretch of the season.

“We don’t have any wins, but we are improving,” said Gilliam. “The girls work hard.”

On the individual front, Molly Schmelter was ranked No. 8 in the West Suburban Conference in average through late last week with a 169.

“Molly has had some great finishes,” said Gilliam.

Schmelter finished in the top five in high game at the West Aurora tournament in late December with a 218.

“Molly is working on ironing some things out with her game,” said Gilliam.

“She is going to do very well (in the postseason). She has a great shot at it.”

Dinorah Cantu ranked 35th in the conference with a 140 average. Susana Silva, Kaitlin Martinez and Anaitza Roman also have contributed for the Blazers.

Gilliam noted the team has had several

individuals of late earn personal bests, including Laura Gamble’s 148 personalrecord high game.

“The girls are getting better,” said Gilliam. “We have girls on the JV team who are in there first year as bowlers.”

Team chemistry continues to be another rallying point for the Blazers. “It’s a really fun group,” said Gilliam. “They are fun to be around and they enjoy being around each other. They are fun and they want to do well. That’s great to see as a coach.”

Gilliam said wins and losses as a team are secondary right now. “We want to do our best and let the chips fall as they may,” he said. “We want to have fun, do our best and improve our games.”

Gilliam pointed out the Blazers are done no favors competing in the tough WSC. “A bright spot for us is we started with a 1,900 series as a team and now we are up to 2,200,” he said. “The problem is other teams in the conference are at 2,500, 2,600 and 2,700. These teams have very good bowlers. They don’t have just one, they have four or five. But we are getting better. The girls are striving for personal bests and are improving.”

Addison Trail returns to action Saturday at the Fenton invitational at WoodDale Bowl in Addison.

to make ourselves uncomfortable for the good of the team.”

Padera, who noted the team is strongest on floor and beam right now, lauded the recent efforts of Kennedy O’Neill.

“Kennedy was showing some true competitive power,” he said. “She injured her elbow on her beam dismount at the Tumbleland invite and hopefully will return to form soon.”

Padera is looking forward to seeing his team perform over the remainder of the season. “I am pleased with how we have improved so far and I hope to see us improve even further,” he said.

A recent six-game stretch was not kind to the Fenton boys basketball team.

The Bison dropped a Metro Suburban Conference West Division game to RiversideBrookfield and lost a non-conference game to Addison Trail.

Between those two games was a 1-3 showing at the Plano tournament.

At Plano, the Bison lost to Lisle, defeated Coal City, lost to Morris and lost to Indian Creek.

“The long and short of it is we got pretty banged up at Plano,” said Fenton coach Josh Payton.

Payton noted Fenton lost leading scorer Bryan Larsen to injury in the first game against Lisle. “Bryan Larsen has been our anchor and our best player,” he said. “He took a charge and got a split over his eye. He got stiches and had a concussion. Being without your No. 1 guy has been tough.”

Payton said Larsen was slated to return to practice last week after being sidelined since Dec. 23.

Fenton was slowed by another outside force at Plano—a leaky gym. “We ended up not playing Morris until 10 or 10:30

at night and then had to come back and play Indian Creek the next day at 12:15 p.m. We were back and forth to Plano twice in 13 or 14 hours. That’s the kids being on the bus a total of four hours, sleeping and then going back there. It didn’t’ help us.”

Despite the 1-5 skid dropping the club to 5-8 overall through mid-last week, Payton sees plenty of opportunities for improvement in the games ahead. “We want to come back strong and make a play in the conference,” he said. “There are still a lot of good prospects out there and some good opportunities for wins. We still have the bulk of our conference games left. There is plenty of time to cure some of these ills and make a push and be a good quality basketball team. We just have to go out there and pull it all together.”

Payton was pleased with numerous players who stepped up over the holidays. “We’ve been able to get some different guys a lot of minutes lately,” he said.

Nick Schaub had 15 points against Addison Trail. “Nick will develop into a nice player for us,” said Payton. “He stepped up his game and got some good minutes.”

Joe Andrews also has been active for the Bison. “Joe continues to help us,” said Payton.

“He leads us in rebounding and points in the paint and has a

Addison Trail brings Jesus Christ Superstar to the stage

T

he musical “Jesus Christ Superstar” might have originated as a 1970 rock opera, but Addison Trail is bringing the production to a new era when it presents the show from Jan. 21 to 23 as its winter musical.

“We are setting the story in the 1920s,” said Theatre Director Anna Jakubka. “The character of Jesus Christ will represent the poor faction of people; the character of Al Capone will represent King Herod; the police officers will represent Pontius Pilate and the Roman guards; and members of the mafia will represent the high priests.”

“Jesus Christ Superstar” tells the story of the last week of Jesus’ life, focusing on the relationships between the characters and their emotions, which motivate them toward certain actions. The story is told through the viewpoint of Judas Iscariot, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus. Jakubka said this is her first time directing the show, and she’s thrilled at the opportunity.

Orchestra Director Dan O’Connell is particularly fond of the production, so the musical will honor his upcoming retirement at the end of the school year.

“The music in this production

is phenomenal,” Jakubka said.

“The pit never stops playing – the show just flows from one piece to the next.”

AT senior Michael Bellino will play Jesus Christ and said it has been a fun challenge to get into character.

“Everyone has a vision of who and what these characters are,” he said. “We’re telling a story many audience members are familiar with and portraying people they believe in.”

Junior Sevina Topalska, who will play Mary Magdalene, said the cast is really focusing on the story and character development.

“No matter what your religious beliefs, you will enjoy this show,” she said. “You can relate to the characters and their emotions and thoughts, regardless of your religious preference.”

The role of Judas Iscariot will be played by senior Cab Callaway, who said audience members are in for a surprise.

“Whether you know the story of Jesus or not, this musical will be very different from your expectations,” he said. “We’re excited to show the audience we can bring this caliber of music and production to a high school.”

“Jesus Christ Superstar” will be performed in the Addison

BENSENVILLE — The Village of Bensenville’s new Police & Emergency Management Headquarters won the top honor in the rehabilitation category from The Construction Industry Service Corporation (CISCO) as part of their annual Pride in Construction Award Program.

“We are proud to recognize these projects, project teams and organizations for this prestigious award,” said CISCO Executive Director Dan Allen. “We had the most entries in the history of the program, and clearly all of the entries are winners as the quality and community impact of each of these projects were evident to our Board members.”

Among Rehabilitation projects, the Bensenville Police & Emergency Management Headquarters, 345 E. Green St., was the top vote-getter. The new 47,000 square foot headquarters is an adaptive reuse of a blighted industrial building that was vacant since 1998. The project was built to LEED Gold standards, making it more than 20% 223737

Continued from page 9 great turnover-to-assist ratio.

We’ve had some other guys step up and do their thing. Including Nick’s 15 points, we have nine guys who have scored in double digits this year. That’s nine out of 14 guys on the team. Guys are doing their job.

We just have to strive for consistency. When everything gels on a regular basis and not for a quarter or a game we will be a consistent force to be reckoned with.”

Payton said the team is looking forward to having Larsen back. “Bryan is not only a stat guy—he’s leading us with 14 points a game—he anchors our defense, he’s a hustler,” the coach said. “He’s one of those guys where things continue to happen when he’s on the floor.

We definitely lose something when a guy like that comes out.

It hurt us. He has an impact on the game.”

Fenton wrestling The Fenton wrestling team recorded a recent 42-23 victory over Glenbard South. The win moved the Bison to 13-3 overall.

Manny Morales (120 pounds), Nikko Castaneda (160), Dylan Butts (170) and Joe Garcia (220) scored pins for coach Brian Hastings’ squad.

Continued from page 16 more efficient than a standard building of its size.

“This was a project that all of our Bensenville residents should be proud of. We turned a vacant factory building into one of the area’s finest Public Safety Buildings,” said Village President Frank Soto. “It should be noted that, the building was completed on time and within budget.”

This project was made possible by aggressively seeking out cost saving opportunities and programs to reduce the Village’s out-of-pocket costs as much as possible. By staggering the bond issuances the Village had the ability to obtain Qualified Energy Conservation Bond (QECB) rebates through the DuPage County DCEO for more than $6 million of the overall bond issuance. By delaying a year for the second tract of bonds the Village achieved savings of $1.25 million due to the issued bonds being bank qualified.

In an effort to support local business the Village made extra effort to advertise the bidding opportunities locally which resulted in awarding over $1 million dollars to Bensenville businesses.

• NEW YEAR

Continued from page 8 Take the weight thing. I can work for two years to meet a fitness goal. He skips dinner one night and is down seven pounds the following morning. And he tells me about it. (Of course he does.) I yearn to clean all the junk out of our lives. He yearns to clean the garage on Saturday afternoon. I plan for (and worry about) the future. He lives in the present. Together we make a complete human being.

However, I remain resolved – to convince him of the advantages of New Year’s resolutions.

It’s been a goal of mine for years. He’s yet to be persuaded.

This year when I asked him what his resolutions were he said, “Not to make any resolutions.”

When I heard his response, I gave a silent cheer. Because when you think about it resolving not to resolve could be considered a resolution in itself.

I’m choosing to label it as such and therefore have already met one of my goals for the year.

But don’t tell my husband I said so. He doesn’t believe in resolutions.

What better place to “wine” away those winter blues than at the annual Wine About Winter in Grand Haven Michigan?

Each January, a collection of businesses in Grand Haven’s Main Street district invite the public to sample wines and check out art from local artists.

As guests sip on samples of Shiraz and Chardonnay, area artists offer talks about their works, all of which are displayed at the various venues as part of Wine About Winter.

Tasting packages are $10 in advance of the event and include a commemorative wine glass and starter tasting tickets.

The trolley will be available to take you between all of the participating businesses from 6 - 9 p.m.

When the winter weather is at its worst, head down to Grand Haven’s Main Street and “wine” a bit. You’ll feel better!

Sponsored by Santo Stefano del Lago, Gallery Uptown, and the Frame & Mat Shop. For information visit downtowngh. com. **You must be 21 & up with a valid ID to participate in the wine tasting
