Health Department supports new Crisis Intervention Coordinator position Will offer training to police officers throughout DuPage

By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

Last week, the Independent learned that the DuPage County Health Department had offered its endorsement of the plan spawned by the DuPage County Chiefs of Police Association to appoint a County Crisis Intervention Coordinator to act as a liaison between law enforcement, mental health service providers and residents who are experiencing a mental health crisis.

The Police Chiefs Association recently approved a resolution supporting a coordinator of training for mental health crisis intervention in response to an increasing number of police interactions with individuals in mental health crisis. This is not only a cost-effective measure to help people with mental health issues, but also will maximize the public resources already available that those in need may not know about.

“This new Crisis Intervention Coordinator is needed in DuPage County to strengthen our health care safety net to insure the health of all residents,” said Karen Ayala, executive director at the DuPage County Health Department.

“The Health Department strongly believes this kind of collaboration is the best way to serve the health care needs of

our residents.”

Ayala said the coordinator will train police officers in the Crisis Intervention Team Model and will make training available throughout the County.

The new position will be sup-

ported jointly by the DuPage County Chiefs of Police Association and the Health Department.

According to Ayala, the Health Department has been an active partner with the Mental

Illness Court Alternative Program (MICAP), a joint venture with 18th Judicial Circuit Court.

MICAP has held 27 graduation ceremonies for nearly 500 individuals, who were experiencing behavioral health symptoms

while incarcerated but were successfully directed from the judicial system into MICAP as an alternative. The MICAP graduates have obtained employment and increased self-sufficiency, Ayala said.

Look who Hippity-Hopped into town!

County Court Brief…

Jury finds Chicago man guilty of threatening State Representative WHEATON — DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin announced last week that a jury had found Stephen S. Bona, 52, of 903 W. Roscoe, Chicago, guilty of making threatening phone calls to Illinois State Representative Jeanne Ives. The jury reached their verdict after deliberating for approximately 1½ hours following a two-daylong trial. In all, the jury found Bona guilty of two counts of Threatening a Public Official, a Class 3 Felony.

On Friday, March 22, 2013, at approximately 9:42 a.m., Bona called the office of Representative Ives and left a threatening message. An investigation into the matter led to Bona who was charged with Misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct. A second threatening phone call made to Ives’ office on March 25, 2013, prompted the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office to upgrade the charges to Threatening a Public Official. In one of his messages Bona made

several threatening statements directed at Representative Ives including “We know where you live”, “There’s no longer a ban on assault weapons” and “Think about that before you speak next time.”

“The First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees everyone the right to free speech,” Berlin said. “What the First Amendment does not do however, is to allow free speech to digress into threats against public employees or elected officials. These men

and women who have chosen public service must be allowed to do their jobs without having to worry about their personal safety or the safety of their families.”

On March 25, 2013, a $150,000 arrest warrant was issued for Bona. While eligible for probation, a Class 3 Felony is punishable by up to five years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Bona’s next court appearance is scheduled for April 29, 2016 for sentencing.

Addison Trail celebrates PE Week, holds annual Superstars Assembly, Wellness Day ADDISON — On March 18, Addison Trail hosted its annual Superstars Assembly, where classes go head to head in a variety of competitions, including a dodgeball tournament, a basketball-shooting contest, a push-up contest, a scooter race and an obstacle course. That assembly takes place as part of Physical Education (PE) Week and is the culminating event.

This year, the 42-year-old tradition raised about $350 for the American Heart Association through a penny war and other activities. Points were awarded to each class based on the place they earned in those competitions.

When all was said and done, the senior class and the faculty team earned the most points and tied for 1st place. The junior class finished in 3rd place, the sophomore class finished 4th and the freshmen class finished 5th.

“The kids love this assembly and really look forward to it each year,” said Rob Schader, AT Physical Education and Health Department Chair. “The students and staff show incredible school spirit during the week.”

Addison Trail also hosted a Wellness Day on March 14 to begin PE Week, where more than 30 organizations had booths with information about a variety of topics related to health and wellness. Students were able to gain tips to improve their well-being, ask questions of the representatives and participate in interactive displays.

District 88-Fenton Sports Report Willowbrook baseball team defeats Naperville North; Addison Trail girls track team sets relay record

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ADDISON — The Willowbrook baseball team recently defeated Naperville North 5-0 in non-conference play.

Willowbrook scored two runs in the fourth inning and three in the seventh.

TJ Geritano went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run and an RBI. Cam Zunkel was 1-for-4 with an RBI. Matt Pizur went 3-for-3 with a run scored. Kyle Martyniuk went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Kyle Ferguson was 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI. Zunkel was the winning pitcher. He went 6 2/3 innings and struck out eight while allowing only three hits.

In earlier action, the Warriors dropped an 11-5 nonconference game to Glenbard South.

Glenbard South jumped out to a 3-1 lead after the first inning and used a seven-run third inning to take a 10-3 lead.

Willowbrook had 10 hits in the game. Zunkel went 3-for3 with a double, a run scored and two RBI. Geritano was 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base. Pizur went 1-for-4 with a run scored. DeSalvo was 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI. Also having single hits were Danny Olson, Ferguson, MJ Ranieri and Jon Kelso. Kelso had a double and scored a run, while Ranieri stole a base. Mark Molitor added an RBI. Matt Garbacz took the loss for the Warriors.

Addison Trail girls track The Addison Trail girls track team recently broke the program record in the 400 relay at the West Suburban Conference

Gold Division indoor meet.

The team of Lynette Banuelos, Lauren Kroll, Klea Gjonaj and Suhei Valbuena broke the record by almost four seconds.

“That team is trying to get themselves set up for another run for state in both the 400 and 800 relays outdoors,” said Addison Trail coach Dave Pytko.

Kroll took second in the 55 dash and 200 run, while Klea was fifth in the 200.

“Klea is doing a great job of rebounding from a tough sophomore season in addition to being a leader with Lauren and Lynette,” said Pytko.

Pytko also has high hopes for the team’s distance runners. “In addition to our talented varsity runners, we have a very young, but very underrated group of distance girls,” he said. “Over the next few years they will grow into a group that can compete with teams in the conference. They are so new at running that they have to learn how to control all the mental aspects of run-

ning a race.”

Fenton badminton The Fenton girls badminton team returns the likes of seniors Heena Amin, Angelica Trojan, Hanna Roucka and Kendra Vargas, along with juniors Kelly Kuman, Sheeza Anwar, Rimsha Naseer and Amanda Perry.

“We hope to continue to develop our technique in badminton, get in better shape both physically and mentally and be competitive in our matches,” said Fenton coach Brian Hastings.

Willowbrook boys track The Willowbrook boys track team recently placed seventh at the West Suburban Conference Gold Division indoor meet.

The Warriors are coming off a 2015 season where they took second in the WSCGold outdoor meet.

Back for the Warriors are seniors Marco Martinez (distance), Josan Murphy (sprints),

Noah Nagle (jumps) and juniors Casey King (distance) and Eddie Tribue (sprints).

“This is a solid team that works hard every day to improve,” said Willowbrook coach TJ Artman. “We were not happy with our seventhplace indoor finish and are looking forward to moving up outdoors. Our performances were the best of the indoor season, so it was not due to lack of work, effort, attitude or competitiveness. We just need more of all of it at the next conference meet. Our guys are in good mental shape and are ready to work toward our outdoor and season goals. Our goal always is to send athletes to the state meet. With our current marks, we will need to keep pushing in order to make it. Come May, anything can happen.”

Artman said Martinez, Murphy, Nagle, King and Tribue are poised for strong seasons.

“They should do some good things for us on a daily, meet and conference level,” he said.

ADDISON — On March 15, Addison Trail senior Giuseppe Rubino signed to join the Cheer Team at Robert Morris University Illinois in Chicago.

Although he has only participated in cheerleading for three years, so he’s thrilled to continue with the sport at the collegiate level.

“What I love about cheerleading is you can always challenge yourself,” he said.

“There’s always something new to try and learn, and another level you can push yourself to reach.”

Giuseppe said he joined cheerleading after being encouraged by his brother, Michael. Giuseppe was named as Captain of the Addison Trail Cheerleading Team this year and helped the group reach new levels of success. The Coed Varsity Team finished in the top five at all invites, winning four of the six invites. During the Illinois Cheerleading Coaches Association (ICCA) Championships, the team won 1st place, earning the title of courtesy photo ICCA Coed Champions.

Addison Trail softball team hard at work Blazers feature mix of veteran and young talent

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ADDISON — The Addison Trail softball team has impressed coach Mark Olson thus far.

“It’s a great group of girls and they have a great work ethic,” he said. “They are very coachable and that’s the best part of the spring so far. We’re a young team, so we’re going to have to get better as we go. We’re definitely not senior-dominated like we were last year or as experienced as we were two years ago. These girls want to get better and that bodes well for the future.”

The Blazers, who won 12 games last year and went 4-8 in West Suburban Conference Gold Division action, return seniors Alyssa McMahon (1B)

and Nicolette Napoli (OF) along with junior Jessica Bach (3B).

Key newcomers include junior Marie Baumgartner (IF), sophomore Nikki Scorza (IF) and freshman Sophia Hawkins (OF).

Addison Trail opened the season with a loss to Montini.

“We lost 10-0, but we did a great job picking up the ball in the infield and making the routine plays,” said Olson. “We have some inexperience in the outfield and that’s where we need to get better. We might have some growing pains defensively in the beginning.”

Olson is thrilled to have Bach back at third and Baumgartner at shortstop. “I have a lot of confidence in our infield,” said Olson. “Jessica and Marie take care of the right side and Alyssa McMahon can pick up anything at first base.”

Napoli, McMahon and

Baumgartner also will contribute as pitchers. “We don’t have a dominant pitcher,” said Olson. “We’ll have to make adjustments defensively and make sure we have people in the right spots. We’ll pitch by committee. Nicolette pitched a handful of innings last year and Alyssa can pitch and Marie will pitch a little. We have another freshman Allie Polhad who will pitch on the JV and will eventually be our pitcher of the future. She’ll get her feet wet a little at the JV level.”

Addison Trail was scheduled to face Riverside-Brookfield and Lake Park earlier this week.

“We might take our lumps early on and have some growing pains, but their work ethic has been great,” said Olson.

“That work ethic and their coachability is going to pay dividends later on. At the beginning here, we’re going to have to be patient.”

The Independent / March 31, 2016 - Page 19

By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

You’ve seen the commercials. Three brothers acting rather goofy, doing typical things siblings do like arguing, arm-slugging, and two pitted against the younger one, all in the name of furniture sales.

As it turns out, Tim Smithe – with an “E” – has been the brains behind the advertising campaigns that have catapulted Walter E. Smithe to success, now boasting 11 stores in the Chicagoland area. On Thursday, March 24, the Emmy® award-winning ad man, business consultant and international speaker shared his expertise at a luncheon and expo presented by the West Suburban Chamber of Commerce Executives and sponsored by First Trust Financial.

Between videos of the many hilarious commercials featuring the Smithe brothers – some with celebrities – Smithe offered his own marketing advice.

“If I had one challenge for you, it is to be a little bolder in your marketing and advertising,” Smithe told the over 500 people at the luncheon. “We’re all so safe in business now, sometimes you have to step out and do something unexpected.”

He went on to explain the history of Walter E. Smithe, whose tagline is “You dream it, we build it.”

“My grandfather owned a tavern where he worked around the clock, literally from 5 a.m. to 12 midnight,” Smithe said.

“Once World War II was over, he knew people coming back from the war would want to set

up housekeeping. So he sold the tavern in 1945 and went into the furniture and appliance business.”

Turned out Grandpa was right -- after the war ended, there was a huge demand for washing machines, more than the store could keep in stock.

“Back then, our tagline was ‘you order it, we build it!’” he quipped. “They actually took orders and people waited for them to come in stock – because everybody wanted one and my grandfather knew it.”

Regarding the commercials, Smithe’s next bit of marketing advice was “be the face of the company,” if you can.

“I highly recommend being in your own ads and commercials. Because you are part of the brand personality, your face becomes part of your brand.

“Because this,” Smithe draws an imaginary circle around his face with his finger, “is something your competitors can’t steal from you. Your face is unique to your brand, so why not make it part of the brand?”

Getting celebrities to join in…

“It’s amazing what you can do if you just ask,” Smithe said.

As an example, he wanted Billy Corgan, lead singer for the Smashing Pumpkins rock group, to be in a commercial.

“I happened to know that Corgan had just turned down a $1 million contract to advertise for Budweiser. I thought if he turned down a $1 million contract, there’s no way he’s going to be in our commercial for free!”

Photos by Dee Longfellow

Representing the Villa Park Chamber of Commerce is Beth DeKruyff and Kevin Conro of Villa Park Office Equipment, who had a tabletop display at the recent multi-Chamber event that included not only an Expo but a luncheon featuring a keynote address delivered by Tim E. Smithe of Walter E. Smithe Furniture.

It turns out, all Smithe had to do was ask.

That particular commercial, never before seen, was quite funny. It involved the three Smithe brothers (in suits and ties), Billy Corgan, and some pro wrestlers all fighting together in a ring. One wrestler picked up a chair and held it overhead to smash someone, when suddenly Corgan spoke up and said, “Hey! That’s a Walter E. Smithe chair! You can’t smash that!” With that, all the people who were in the ring stopped fighting dead in their tracks, as if to agree – “No, we can’t smash a Walter E. Smithe chair!”

Using current happenings, topics…

Another marketing tip offered by Smithe was to take advantage of current events in the news or pop culture.

For instance, the last time the Olympics came around, the Smithe brothers did a series of commercials in which the older two insisted the younger one try the various sports. An attempt at swimming resulted in a belly flop, while the other two looked on and laughed; skiing found the younger Smithe in a snow bank, leaving only his feet visible; and, finally, curling – the elder two operated the brooms, using the

youngest as the curling rock – the “puck.”

While it didn’t end well for the younger brother, it turned out that series of commercials were the third most-recalled commercial during the entire three-week broadcast of the Olympics.

Smithe’s recommendation to “ride on other people’s success,” led them to work with the 1985 Bears, Martha Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel, Paula Deen (before she fell from grace), Ralph Lauren, Oprah, even George Clooney and Brad Pitt in an Ocean’s 11 parody. The three Smithes even dressed as cavemen (in suits and ties) as an homage to the commercials which claimed: “Even a caveman could do it.”

“You can make a dramatic commercial but you have to put the sales message in there, too. Don’t get so creative that you forget you have a message to get across.”

The bottom line is, people would rather be entertained than informed.

“Most of us go to our customers and inform, inform, inform,” Smithe said. “If you can inform people by entertaining them, you can still make your point in such a way that people won’t realize they’re being sold to.”

At the Multi-Chamber Spring Luncheon and Expo, presented by the West Suburban Chamber of Commerce Executives, representatives from Inland Bank had an opportunity to talk with customers during the Business Expo portion of the event held Thursday, March 24. Attendees also enjoyed a keynote address delivered by Tim Smithe of Walter E. Smithe Furniture & Design.
