Village Board recognizes resident for heroic actions Local man pulls passengers from burning vehicle

On Tuesday, Aug. 13, Village President Frank DeSimone and the Village Board recognized Bensenville resident and musician Armando Rodriguez for his heroic actions to remove two passengers from a burning vehicle. Armando was also recognized by the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office back in June.

The incident happened May 5 on Route 83 near Frontage Road. Rodriguez and his wife were driving north on Route 83 when they noticed two vehicles that had just been involved in a crash. Once Rodriguez noticed the driver of one of the cars was unresponsive and the vehicle was smoking, he jumped into action by trying to get the passengers out of the vehicle.

Since the car was locked, he attempted to break the driver side window by kicking it and eventually broke it with his elbow. Perez was able to drag both passengers to safety before the flames engulfed the car.

Rodriguez is a long-time Bensenville resident and is also a member of the Latin Grammy award-winning band AK-7.

Rodriguez addressed the audience and Village Board.

“It’s an honor for me to have this in the house where my other Grammies are at,” he said. “I grew up here in this community and I still live here today. It’s an honor to receive this and I would do the same thing for anybody.”

Village President Frank DeSimone thanked Rodriguez for his actions.

“As a first responder myself, I can relate to the amount of courage it must have taken to help those passengers,” he said. “Our community is filled with some of the most incrediSUBMITTED PHOTO Bensenville Independent ble people doing amazing things for Armando Rodriguez is pictured with his family after being recognized for his life saving actions by Village President Frank DeSimone, each other.” the Village Board, and Village staff.

Rojas transformed that program into what

Hospital Foundation awards Myers Endowed Scholarships

The Elmhurst Memorial Hospital Foundation has awarded $5,000 Thomas O. Myers, Jr. and Shirley L. Myers Endowed Scholarships to Erik Borgehammar of Naperville and Lauren Monaco of Downers Grove.

The scholarships are awarded every year to children of Elmhurst Hospital employees who are pursuing careers in healthcare.

The Myers Endowed Scholarships were first awarded in 2004 in appreciation for the high quality and compassionate care provided by the staff of Elmhurst Hospital to those living and working in the communities it serves.

Borgehammar, a 2019 graduate of Naperville North High School, will attend Macalester College in Minnesota. He plans to major in neuroscience and statistics and pursue a medical degree. His father, Magnus Borgehammar, is a physical therapist at Elmhurst Hospital.

The Aug. 9 signings included House Bill 246, which requires public schools to include the contributions of LGBTQ individuals in their history curricula. It also requires textbooks purchased with certain state grant funds to include the roles and contributions of all people protected under the Illinois Human Rights Act. The law adds LGBTQ individuals to other group histories required to be covered in schools, including African-Americans and other ethnic groups, women’s history, the

The General Assembly passed 599 bills this legislative session, and Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed 370 of them and vetoed just three as of Aug. 12.

He approved of more than 150 of those bills Aug. 9 as the clock ticks on the 226 remaining measures which passed both houses of the Legislature but have not yet been acted upon by the governor.

Per the state Constitution, the General Assembly must send any bill that clears both houses to the governor within 30 days of its official passage in the second house.

Once it is sent to the governor, he has 60 days to sign it, or veto it partially or completely.

Bills not acted upon by the governor become law at the end of the 60 days, per the Constitution.

All pieces of legislation to pass both houses have officially been sent to the governor, as the latest date to do so for the final bills passed would have been 30 days after the General Assembly’s June 2 adjournment. This means the governor has a little more than two weeks left to act on the remaining bills.

In November, the General Assembly is scheduled to return for a “veto session” in which lawmakers decide if they want to overturn, with a three-fifths majority vote in each house, the governor’s veto of any legislation.

Of the three bills Pritzker has vetoed, two of them contained language that was “substantially similar” to others he signed,

meaning their passage would have been duplicative and unnecessary.

House Bill 3590 pertained to the state income tax of some gambling winnings, which was language included in Senate Bill 690. The other, House Bill 423, temporarily eliminated the basic skills test for teachers, which was permanently eliminated in another measure.

The other measure vetoed by Pritzker passed 57-0 in the Senate and 75-41 in the House. It could be a candidate for an override in the November session. Senate Bill 2026 did not “afford the state enough flexibility” to run certain Medicaid-funded programs, according to Pritzker’s veto message.

It would have prevented Illinois from applying for federal waivers

REMEMBER TO SCHEDULE YOUR CHILD’S DENTAL EXAM

Do you have loose dentures?

Implants can help.

Anyone who has ever suffered from loose dentures can tell you about the embarrassment of constantly hiding their smile and about the social awkwardness that accompanies difficulty in speaking and chewing. Dental implants could be the answer. A dental implant is an artificial root to which an artificial tooth is attached. An implant can replace one or more teeth or permanently support a bridge or denture.

Here are some of the proven benefits of dental implants: ◗ Improved Appearance ◗ Dental implants look and feel just like your own teeth, so no one will

know unless you tell them. ◗ Improved Self-Confidence ◗ An attractive, natural-looking appearance plus the ability to speak and

eat normally and comfortably will have you smiling again! ◗ Improved Oral Health ◗ Dental implants actually preserve bone tissue, and the procedure is

considered non-invasive because it does not affect the surrounding teeth. ◗ Reliability

Dental implants have had a proven track record for more than 35 years, and are an excellent option for tooth replacement.

State law requires dental exams on all Illinois

Pritzker signs bills expanding state’s medical marijuana law

By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker celebrated a pair of new laws Aug. 12 that expand the state’s medical marijuana program, including one that gives students more options for taking the drug at school.

“As we continue to reform state government so that it better serves its families, we must do so in a way that advances dignity, empathy, opportunity and grace. In each of these things, this legislation moves us forward,” Pritzker said at a bill-signing ceremony in Springfield.

One of the bills expands a 2018 law known as “Ashley’s Law,” which authorizes schools to allow parents, guardians or other caregivers to administer cannabis-infused products to a student who is authorized to use medical marijuana.

The law is named after Ashley Surin, a Schaumburg student who uses marijuana-based products to manage a seizure disorder she developed at age 3 while undergoing chemotherapy to treat cancer she had had since age 2.

She won the right to use marijuana-infused products at school in a federal court battle that was decided in Janu-

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

ary 2018.

“We’re so proud of her, and we’re so happy this program is continuing and expanding because it’s like a miracle that our daughter is doing so well, and I can’t wait to see what she does next,” Ashley’s mother, Maureen Surin, said during the ceremony.

Since enactment of the first medical marijuana law in Illinois in 2013, Pritzker noted, more than 80,000 patients across the state have received authority to use marijuana to treat certain medical conditions.

Under Senate Bill 455, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2020, schools will be required to allow a school nurse or administrator to administer cannabis-infused products to a student who is a registered qualifying patient. It also allows students to self-administer the medication, under the direct supervision of a nurse or school administrator, and it expands a student’s access to the drug to include before- and after-school activities.

Pritzker also noted the signing of Senate Bill 2023, which he actually signed Friday, expanding and making permanent the medical cannabis pilot program, which was scheduled to sunset next year.

Among other things, it adds 11 conditions for which a person may use medical cannabis, including autism, chronic pain, migraines, osteoarthritis and anorexia nervosa. It also allows qualifying veterans access to medical marijuana as part of an Opioid Alternative Pilot Program.

It also expands the list of medical professionals who can certify patients to use medical marijuana beyond med-

Strong support in Illinois CD-14 for term limits on Congress U.S. Term Limits (USTL), the leader in the non-partisan national movement to limit terms for elected officials, praises James Marter, 2020 U.S. House candidate for Illinois U.S. House (District 14), for signing the pledge for an amendment to term limit Congress. Previously, two other candidates in the race, Ted Gradel and Jim Oberweis also promised to support term limits on Congress.

Currently, U.S. Term Limits has the support of nearly 70 pledge signers in Congress. USTL President Philip Blumel commented on the pledge.

“This strong support of term limits shows that there are individuals who are willing to put self-interest aside to follow the will of the people,” he said. “America needs a Congress that will be served by citizen legislators, not career politicians.”

The U.S. Term Limits amendment pledge is provided to every announced candidate for federal office.

It reads as follows: “I pledge that as a member of Congress, I will cosponsor and vote for the U.S. Term Limits amendment of three (3) House terms and two (2) Senate terms and no longer limit.”

The U.S. Term Limits constitutional amendment has been introduced in both the U.S. Senate

by Senator Ted Cruz (SJR1) and the U.S. House by Representative

Francis Rooney (HJR20).

“We have seen a dramatic increase in supporters wanting term limits on Congress,” Blumel noted.

“More than 82% of Americans have rejected the career politician model and want to replace it with citizen leadership. The way to achieve that goal is through congressional term limits.”

According to the latest nationwide poll on term limits conducted by McLaughlin & Associates, conducted in January 2018, term limits enjoy wide bipartisan support. McLaughlin’s analysis states: “Support for term limits is broad and strong across all political, geographic and demographic groups.

An overwhelming 82% of voters approve of a constitutional amendment that will place term limits on members of Congress.”

“America is in trouble,” Blumel concluded. “Our career politicians have let the people down. It is time to return control of our nation to the people. It is time for a constitutional amendment limiting congressional terms.”

The term limits amendment resolutions would require a two-thirds majority in the House and Senate, and ratification by 38 states, in order to become part of the U.S. Constitution.

Congressional term limits is the one bipartisan issue supported by both President Trump and former President Obama.

Glowiak Hilton’s measure to protect privacy of assault survivors now law The addresses of Illinois survivors of sexual assault will now be kept confidential. thanks to State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton.

House Bill 2818 empowers the Attorney General’s Office to help keep the home addresses of survivors private from their attackers and stalkers.

It was signed into law last week.

“When our survivors take the brave step of seeking justice, they aren’t just leaving a painful situation behind: they are often making themselves the target of a violent person who knows them intimately,” Glowiak Hilton said. “As they strive for justice, we must take the essential

steps to protect them as they seek it.”

The new law will allow survivors of sexual abuse or stalking to list the Attorney General’s Office as their contact address instead of revealing their actual address, avoiding any risk that their abuser might locate them.

The program is currently established for victims of domestic violence. House Bill 2818 expands its availability to all survivors of sexual abuse and stalking.

The bipartisan measure goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2021.

[This was received from the office of Suzi Glowiak Hilton.]

Letter to the editor

Reader replies to man who put down IPI I would like to respond to Mr. [Jon] Baker’s Letter To The Editor in the August 15th edition of the Elmhurst Independent, bashing the Illinois Policy Institute. His letter was neither accurate nor intellectually honest.

The only thing racist about the controversial cartoon was its accurate depiction of the brutal racism and bigotry of Chicago Machine Politics. If the man was black, and the kid was white, would Mr. Baker still view it as racist? My guess is YES, if it could be used to make a republican or conservative look bad, which is what the calling out of the IPI cartoon was all about. IPI was simply pointing out how Chicago is hiding its wealth in special taxing districts to give out corporate tax breaks while seriously under funding it’s school system and that public schools in the Chicago’s black community are hurt the worst. The City of Chicago has a long history of racism, as evidenced by the stories on the news about Chicago’s Department of Water Management. By the way, the former IPI people who were let go by the governor DID NOT author the cartoon!

Regarding Mr. Baker’s claim that the Illinois Policy Institute is a “propaganda mill that generally works in the service of those with a far right agenda” is utter nonsense. Mr. Baker clearly has no idea what goals that IPI works to accomplish. The IPI works on behalf of the citizens of

Illinois every day to reduce the size of government, fight for lower taxes, and improve education in our public schools. They are one of the few outlets in Illinois that loudly decries the excessive power of longtime House Speaker Michael Madigan. They also fight for much needed reform of our states’ pension system, which is currently $234 BILLION in the red!

In 2018, the Chicago Sun-Times wrote that, “its studies and opinion pieces on cutting government spending and boosting transparency became must-read material to many Republicans, some Democrats —

and the governor of Illinois.” Quite a statement from a left-leaning newspaper.

I wonder what part of any of this Mr. Baker considers working in the service of the far right? Is attempting to improve education in the black community working in the service of the far right? Mr. Baker, the next time you submit a letter to the editor of the Elmhurst Independent, please do some homework first.

At the Dispatch Center

On June 25, these Transition Program students visit the Addison Consolidated Dispatch Center.

District 88 students share experience of trip to Germany During a recent District 88 Board of Education meeting, Addison Trail and Willowbrook students and staff shared their experiences of participating in the German American Partnership Program (GAPP) – Student Exchange, which provides information about cultural, social and political life in Germany through encouraging intercultural dialogue

and enabling cultural involvement.

The group traveled to Germany from May 31 to June 20. During the trip, the students and staff attended school at Helmholtzschule in Frankfurt, lived with local families and toured Frankfurt and Munich.

As part of the exchange program, District 88 also welcomed and hosted students, teachers and the prin-

cipal from Helmholtzschule from Sept. 23 to Oct. 8, 2018.

During their time with the district, the group from Germany shadowed Addison Trail and Willowbrook students, staff members and administrators; toured the buildings; and viewed extracurricular activities such as athletic and performing arts

events. They also visited Chicago landmarks.

District 88 embraces the diversity of its student body and communities as a strength for its schools. The district has about 40 languages and more than 30 countries represented among its families, and almost half of the about 4,000 students at

District 88 speak a language other than English at home. The district continuously provides opportunities such as the GAPP for students to experience other cultures. Whether it’s traveling to Europe or hosting guests from abroad, those interactions teach students life lessons and help them develop a global mindset.

Annual ‘ButterBurgers & Badges’ Aug. 29 at Culver’s Culver’s restaurants throughout Northern Illinois, including right here in Addison, are partnering with Special Olympics Illinois this August with several in-store activities planned, most notably the fifth annual “ButterBurgers & Badges” fundraising event, scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 29, from 4-8 p.m.

ButterBurgers & Badges will feature local law enforcement officers providing table service for guests dining inside, and also delivering the chain’s famed burgers and fresh frozen custard desserts to those visiting the drive-thru.

Law enforcement officers will collect donations for their service.

One dollar for every purchase of any size Culver’s Concrete Mixer will

benefit Special Olympics. Also, Special Olympics Illinois athletes will be on-site to meet and greet guests.

ButterBurgers & Badges is part of a month-long initiative by select Culver’s locations across Chicagoland that includes participating stores proudly displaying ‘Change for Champions’ donation canisters near counter areas.

Funds raised will help Special Olympics Illinois continue its programs that provide year-round sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

For more information, call 630889-1140 or visit https://www.soill. org/event/butterburgers-and-badges.

ACA presents paintings by Mary Dorrell Now through Sept. 21, the Addison Center for the Arts is presenting Expedition-Composition, an art exhibit of paintings by Mary Dorrell. The exhibit features paintings that communicate her sense of adventure and wonder.

“Before starting a new piece, I ask myself, ‘What drew me to that place or subject and what am I seeking to convey about the experience?’ ‘Was it the storm that just passed, a dense wood or a stunning sunset?’ ‘Was it a shared experience?’ ‘Was it a memory?’” she said. “But that is just one aspect,

what draws me to create is a desire for connection and a sense of discovery. I open my heart and mind to allow the painting to flow to where it wants in telling the story.

Each painting has a mind of its own and vibrates with its own energy. I feel compelled to create paintings that convey a taste of adventure, a response of emotion, and a bit of mystery.”

Addison Center for the Arts is at 213 N. Lombard Rd. Gallery hours are Wed.-Sat. from 1 to 4 p.m. For more information, call 630-4584500.

When orthodontic treatment is needed to help the lower jaw develop in a forward direction, the orthodontist may by aJeffrey T. Boland utilize Herbst appliance.

This device Orthodontic notLicensed only moves the lowerSpecialist jaw forward and pushes the upper jaw backward, but it is also able to push the upper molars backward. To accomplish all this, the Herbst appliance utilizes steel crowns cemented onto the permanent upper and lower molars. These are connected by plunger arms, which are lengthened to force the lower jaw into the desired position. Once the jaw is positioned properly, the Herbst is left in place for several months to maintain the desired position of both jaws. Because this appliance is fixed, it is more effective than headgear.

It takes patients about 7 days to get use to the Herbst appliance. Initially, the patient’s bite will feel different and chewing will be affected. The appliance requires little maintenance, except for normal cleaning and avoiding hard/sticky foods. Since the appliance lies in contact with the teeth, extreme care must be taken with regard to oral hygiene. At Boland Orthodontics, we use braces and other orthodontic appliances to improve smiles and dental health, making children and adults look and feel better. To schedule an orthodontic consultation, please give us a call. Straighter Smiles Are Our Specialty!

P.S. A Herbst appliance is much more discreet than headgear.

Durbin: Neither political party has monopoly on morals U.S. senator visits State Fair, discusses Blagojevich, capital punishment, climate change

culture. It was Ag Day, after all.

Instead, the state’s senior U.S. senator spent a significant amount of his time with the press discussing state politics and policy. Durbin specifically addressed questions about members of his Democratic Party who made recent headlines.

State Sen. Tom Cullerton, from

By Rebecca Anzel Villa Park, was indicted by a grand CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS jury earlier this month on federal Dick Durbin was at the Illinois charges of embezzling funds from a State Fair Aug. 13 to talk about agri- labor union.

Former colleagues of House Speaker Michael Madigan were subjects of FBI raids. The scope of that investigation is unclear.

And former Gov. Rod Blagojevich is serving time in a federal prison in Colorado. He is back in the news after comments made by President Donald Trump about a possible commutation.

“Listen, neither political party has a monopoly when it comes to virtue or moral turpitude,” Durbin said. “It

is human nature and the weakness of human nature that leads to Democrats, Republicans and those not in public office to commit crimes. We should be intolerant of it, speak out against it, and work together on a bipartisan basis to avoid it.”

The senator addressed Trump’s continued consideration of forgiving Blagojevich’s 14-year prison sentence, which he received in part for his efforts to sell the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama when he

became president.

Durbin told reporters he thought the judgment Blagojevich received was “excessive” and “does not really match up with the crimes that he committed.”

“You know, what he did was wrong,” Durbin said. “He was arrested, prosecuted, convicted obviously, incarcerated, disgraced and separated from his family for seven-plus

Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill expanding insurance coverage for Illinoisans suffering from Lyme disease and discussed other health-related measures at a news conference in his State Capitol office Aug. 13.

The Democrat also touted a bill which requires insurers to cover the cost of medically necessary epinephrine shots for children, and once again said he was open to signing a “stronger” bill pertaining to the emissions of ethylene oxide, a known cancer-causing chemical, in Illinois.

House Bill 889, signed Tuesday, requires insurance companies to cover long-term antibiotic therapy, office visits, testing and treatment for tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease. It takes effect immediately and opens the door for coverage of experimental drugs if they are federally approved.

Pritzker said late-stage Lyme disease treatments can cost thousands of dollars.

“With this new legislation, Illinois is declaring that insurance can no longer put up barriers against those living with Lyme disease,” he said.

Rep. Daniel Swanson, a Republican from Alpha, was the House sponsor of the bill, which passed unanimously in both chambers.

“Illinois is one of the leading states with moving forward with mandated insurance,” he said. “We spoke to people in Arkansas, Michigan, Missouri, all across the nation of people saying how did you do this? Well, it takes a team. It takes the 101st General Assembly, the House and the Senate to push this forward.”

Jennifer Russell, director of the Illinois Lyme Association, said her daughter, Laura, is nearing the end of several years of treatment for Lyme disease.

“This legislation is pivotal in the state of Illinois,” she said. “Many in Illinois are suffering from tickborne illness. Those with state-regulated insurance or private pay are in most cases only receiving 21 days of treatment. … Many are losing their homes, their businesses and their pensions to try to pay for the continued treatments, and this legislation provides them with desperately needed options.”

Rep. Jonathan Carroll, a Northbrook Democrat, was the sponsor of

“

With this new legislation, Illinois is declaring that insurance can no longer put up barriers against those living with Lyme disease.”

– Gov. J.B. Pritzker

the bill to expand epinephrine coverage to all persons 18 years of age and younger beginning Jan. 1, 2020.

“We are now on the forefront of food allergy safety in Illinois,” he said.

Pritzker noted the cost of an epinephrine injection, known commonly by its brand name EpiPen, has risen 400 percent in recent years, now costing close to $700 without insurance, and the medication expires each year.

“To a child who cannot afford an EpiPen, one peanut, one bee sting, one exposure to latex can mean anaphylactic shock and potentially death,” he said. “That’s unconscionable.”

Pritzker also responded to questions about ethylene oxide emissions, another public health issue that has made headlines in recent weeks because of a public fight to prevent Sterigenics, a medical supply sterilization company in Willowbrook, from being able to reopen.

Pritzker was asked about the potential of a special session regarding a bill to ban ethylene oxide emissions, and said he was looking for a stronger bill than one filed by Republican state Sen. John Curran, of Downers Grove.

“We’re continuing to work toward it. You know, as I’ve said, I will sign the strongest legislation that they put forward. I know that Senator Curran has put something forward, but as has been discussed, that legislation has flaws in it that wouldn’t work,” Pritzker said.

The governor noted the bill sponsored by Curran refers to companies holding permits, which Sterigenics would no longer need and thus would not be affected.

“So we need to have a stronger piece of legislation. I have not heard from (House Republican) Leader (Jim) Durkin about his views on what the legislation should look like.

But again, I think we’re all open to a stronger version of the legislation that they already put forward. And that I signed.”

years.”

He added that he knows it is not an opinion shared by his Illinois colleagues, many of whom have told Capitol News Illinois that Trump should not forgive the rest of the former governor’s prison sentence.

Durbin also weighed in on comments made last week by Republican state Rep. David McSweeney, of Barrington Hills, who supports reinstating capital punishment in the state in the wake of mass shootings in California, Texas and Ohio and recent gun violence in Chicago.

McSweeney said he plans to either sponsor or co-sponsor legislation to that end.

Durbin said there is “no reason to turn back to it,” and that he thinks the death penalty does not have the “deterrent effect” its supporters say it does.

“I don’t think it’s any day at the beach to be given a life sentence,” he said. “I don’t think that is going to stop these people who have reached such a level of mental anguish that they go out and kill innocent people.”

When he had an opportunity to talk agriculture, the senator had a message for Illinois farmers, one he said is “a little touchy”—climate change, and how the Prairie State’s agriculture industry can benefit from the changes and adaptations that result.

He pointed to wind turbines as an example of a way farmers can benefit from green energy. The land chosen gets an economic boost—“a pretty good deal,” Durbin said— and the turbine does not interfere with the agriculture business of the farm, he added.

“There are ways to reduce the carbon and greenhouse gas emissions that the farmers can be part of and do in a way that comes back to their economic benefit,” Durbin said. “I use the wind turbines as an example—20 years ago, people didn’t see this coming, but now it’s

become a major part of generating “Market forces,” he added—not electricity. Rural America has to be looking at regulations as penalties right smack-dab in the middle of but as opportunities—are the key to adaptation in agriculture. this conversation.”

Mowing down a challenge, and giving a helping hand Young resident cuts lawns for free; earns a free mower and equipment

Villa Park teenager Sean Kling recently completed the “50 Yard Challenge” by mowing 50 lawns for free for some of his fellow Garden Village residents.

The 14-year-old Kling, who started his freshman year at Willowbrook High School last week, accepted the challenge at the beginning of the summer after his mother Jeanette noticed it on the Internet.

Kling cut his 50th lawn for free a few weeks ago.

“I like helping my community,” said Kling, who attended Jackson Middle School before going to Willowbrook. The enterprising Kling started his own landscaping business—Kling Lawn Service—earlier this year. While he cuts lawns for money, Kling was happy to accept the challenge and provide free lawn care for some Villa Park residents.

The 50 Yard Challenge is the brainchild of Rodney Smith Jr. of Huntsville, Alabama. A few years ago, Smith observed an elderly man cutting his lawn. Smith decided to help the man. Less than two months

later, Smith had cut 100 lawns for free.

Smith went on to create Raising Men Lawn Care Service, which promotes free lawn care for the elderly, disabled, single mothers, veterans and anyone in need of help. Raising Men Lawn Care Service’s website is weareraisingmen.com.

Smith has traveled to and cut lawns in all 50 states. He was recently featured on ABC’s Good Morning America. The program noted that Smith drove his SUV through all of the lower 48 states. Delta Airlines helped Smith travel to Alaska and Hawaii after Smith reached out to the airline on Twitter. Smith is traveling the country this year in a specific effort to cut lawns and raise awareness for veterans.

In addition to mowing lawns during his travels, Smith visits boys and girls (the Raising Men Lawn Care Service’s 50 Yard Challenge is open to boys and girls) who have completed the challenge. Smith presents them with a new lawn mower and other equipment, as well

as a black T-shirt.

The mowers received a colored T-shirt for each 10 lawns they mowed—the first 10 earned an orange shirt; the 20th lawn earned a green shirt. The 30th lawn brought a blue shirt, while the 40th lawn earned a red shirt. The challenge allows participants to mow the same lawn more than once on the road to completing the challenge.

Smith visited Villa Park earlier this month to present Kling with a new Yard Machines lawn mower, along with a blower and a trimmer manufactured by Remington.

Kling has a trailer hooked up to the back of his bicycle to haul his new mower around and continue his landscaping business. Before obtaining the new mower, he used his family’s own mower, or in some cases, the mower of the resident whose lawn he cut. In addition to mowing lawns, Kling has performed a few other landscaping projects, such as moving rocks.

“I hope to either become an electrician or own my own business,”

said Kling of his future plans. As of now, he is hoping for the right number of clients—not too many to overwhelm his schedule, but enough to keep some cash flowing. In ad-

dition to school, Kling’s schedule includes practices and meets with Willowbrook’s boys cross country team. The program held its first practice of the season last week.

Addison Trail boys soccer team poised for more success Hernandez top returning goal scorer for Blazers

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Boys soccer continues to thrive at Addison Trail.

Coach Ryan Dini noted this year’s program has 100 total players across five levels (freshman A and B, sophomore, JV and varsity).

And at the varsity level, the Blazers have won two regional titles in the last three years, including a crown last year. Addison Trail is coming off a 2018 campaign where it went 17-6 and took second in the West Suburban Conference Gold Division with a 5-1 mark (losing only 2-1 to Morton).

Back for the Blazers are seniors Leo Acosta (center-mid), Martin Murillo (left back) and Ernesto Padua (goalie), along with junior Anthony Hernandez (forward).

Hernandez logged 11 goals and four assists last year, while Acosta had seven goals and five assists.

Padua had one goal and four assists last season. Also back is senior

midfielder Uriel Rojo.

Dini took time to laud the efforts of Rojo. “He constantly wins back 50/50 balls and pressures at a high work rate,” he said. “Last season, he was a role player because of the excellent team we had. He was able to learn from five players who we sent to play college soccer. He has turned into an all-in-type player.

He also has excellent ball control and is a great distributor. We are really looking forward to seeing the impact he can make in 80 minutes of a soccer game.”

Key newcomers to the team include juniors Angel Gomez (defender), Jose Vega (defender), Ray Fischer (defender), Adrian Guzman (outside mid) and sophomore Alex Sandoval (midfielder).

“My overall outlook on the season is very positive,” said Dini, in his eighth season at the helm (8555-9). “We have a really good mix of juniors and seniors and have some depth. If I had to predict a record, I would say 12-6-2 for the regular season. We had an excellent summer. We just need to keep getting chemistry with our starters since we do have three players coming from club/academy who

didn’t play last year. Our strengths are our team speed, ball control and depth. Our weakness right now is finishing at times.”

Dini noted the team is comprised of nine seniors, nine juniors and one sophomore. Addison Trail went 6-2-1 in summer league play and made the final-four teams of the playoffs. The Blazers lost in a shootout in the semifinals. “We have three academy players who are playing high-school soccer for the first time, which should really increase our skill level on the field,” he said. “We are a very fast and technical soccer team.”

Once again, Dini has stacked Addison Trail’s schedule with contests against top-flight competition. “Our schedule is loaded with quality teams,” he said. “We host our own eight-team Joe Novy tournament and are in the PepsiCo Showdown where we have been in the top bracket the past two seasons (80 teams). We look to compete for a conference title after having placed second twice in the past three seasons. We should be in the top 20 in the preseason rankings and we expect to have another solid season.”

Sean Kling of Villa Park accepted and completed the “50 Yard Challenge” this summer. The 14-year-old Kling mowed 50 lawns for free in the village. Rodney Smith Jr. of Alabama, who created the 50 Yard Challenge, visited Kling earlier this month and presented him with a new lawn mower, as well as a blower and a trimmer. Kling is pictured in his back yard with his new mower. He’s wearing the T-shirt he received for completing the challenge. Kling, who began his freshman year at Willowbrook High School last week, will use the new mower for his own landscaping business—Kling Lawn Service.

Kling is a member of Willowbrook’s boys cross country team.

Willowbrook boys golf team ready to take next step Warriors have eyes on another top-tier conference finish

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Willowbrook boys golf team has momentum on its side.

The Warriors posted an 11-3 dual-meet record a year ago and took third in the West Suburban Conference Gold Division.

And coach Gary Walker would

like to see his squad amp things up even more. “I have confidence we will take second in the conference behind Downers Grove South,” he said.

On the personnel side, Walker welcomes back veteran Logan Rattana, who took eighth in the WSC Gold tournament a year ago.

Key newcomers to the squad include Jacob Cieslak, Nick Cipriano, John “Wedge” Donovan, Utah Keehner, Andrew Rugg and Joey Zopel.

Walker said distance off the tee

won’t be a problem for his 2019 group. “We are very athletic,” he said. “The boys all have the ability to hit the ball a ton.”

Walker added his roster is filled with students of the game. “The entire program is extremely coachable,” he said. “From the freshman to the seniors, they really are a great group to be around, teach and coach.”

One key, the coach noted, will be on-course management.

“Our athletes will need to keep their emotions in check if their

round starts to go sideways,” said Walker. “This will help them get back on track for the remaining holes.”

Willowbrook kicked off the season this week with a busy slate.

Earlier in the week, the Warriors were slated to face West Chicago in a non-conference tilt at Sugar Creek in Villa Park.

Today, the Warriors are scheduled to head to Oak Park Country Club for another non-conference match against Elmwood Park.

Next week, Willowbrook heads

to Oswego for the Panther invitational (Tuesday, Aug. 27) before playing in the 51st annual Fenton invitational at White Pines in Bensenville (Saturday, Aug. 31).

Also on Aug. 31, Willowbrook will host its own Willowbrook invitational at Sugar Creek.

Other highlights on the schedule include a pair of quads on Sept. 14 (at White Pines hosted by Leyden) and on Sept. 26 (at Oak Meadows hosted by Addison Trail).

The WSC Gold meet is slated for Oct. 1.

Fenton girls volleyball team looking to build upon 2018 success Bison coming off 24-win season; Krebasch headlines list of returners

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Fenton girls volleyball team enjoyed plenty of success a year ago.

The Bison went 24-12 and finished 3-3 in Metro Suburban Conference Red Division play.

Now, Fenton is looking to keep the success train rolling and has the roster to continue to fuel those expectations.

Coach Kelly Torres returns a host of players, including senior middle blocker Julianna Krebasch, who put down 149 kills and registered 30

blocks last season. Senior outside hitter Britania Aguilar had 36 kills and 13 blocks, while senior setter Noha Zaggoti served at a 91 percent clip. Senior outside hitter Iza Faron had 22 digs last year and senior right-side hitter Sydney Minard had 46 aces.

New to the team are sophomores Hailey Miller (setter-defensive specialist) and middle blocker Abby Boehm.

One place, in particular, that Torres feels the Bison will excel at is on offense. “Our strengths this season certainly will be our front-row attacks,” she said. “We are very strong across the front row when it comes to hitting. The offense is looking very good for this early in the season. We feel that we will be able to attack from all over the front row.”

Torres added the energy in the practice gym has been high thus far. “The girls have been coming to practice very excited, and many of them are eager for their opportunity to contribute to the program at the varsity level,” she said.

Fenton continues to double-down on the defensive side of the net.

“This is a work in progress,” said Torres. “We have many girls who are competing for spots in serve-receive. We will continue to work on this each practice and get all the girls as many reps as possible.”

Zaggoti takes over the setting position this season. “Noha has spent the last two years on varsity learning from and practicing with graduated Mackenzie Miller,” Torres noted. “Now, it is her time to shine.

She is more than capable, and we

order to be successful is perform to the best of our abilities every practice and match,” she said. “If we take care of what we can control, we will be successful.”

Fenton begins play this year in the Upstate Eight Conference. “This is our first year in the Upstate Eight,” said Torres. “We know that there are many very good programs in the conference. We are very excited to have this opportunity to compete in a new conference.”

are excited to see her perform.”

Torres said Fenton benefited from a strong summer camp. “We like the way they pushed themselves during summer camp, and then came into tryouts and were very competitive with each other,” she said. “It is a very healthy competition we have going on at a few spots.”

Torres said success will boil down to taking care of business on the orange and blue side of the net. “The number-one thing we have to do in

The IC Catholic Prep boys golf team plays each year in the talent-filled Glen Oak invitational held at Glen Oak Country Club in Glen Ellyn.

This year, veteran Knights coach Don Sujack’s lineup was slated to consist of six golfers, split right down the middle. Three returners and three promising freshmen.

All of which has Sujack optimistic about his team’s 2019 prospects.

First the returnees. The Knights welcome back senior Louis Narcisi. “Lou has the game and the maturity,” said Sujack. “He’s been on the varsity for three years now. He enjoys golf, and eats this stuff up.

He’s a great kid and he’s our captain. He’s a kid who does things the right way.”

Also back is senior Shane Rollins. “Shane looks like he’s taking things very seriously,” said Sujack.

“He looks poised to have a good year for us.”

IC Catholic Prep’s other returner is junior Michael Hilgart. “Michael is a really solid putter for us,” said Sujack. “His short game will keep him in a lot of matches. Shane and Michael have been strong participants in this program for two and three years now.”

The freshmen crew features Jann Atendito, PJ Wisniewski and Nick Zanoni. “We have a large group of talented freshmen in the program

that have some tournament experience,” said Sujack. “There will be some serious competition with our returning golfers to get into the starting lineup. We have a lot of guys on this team who are looking to make their mark. It’s a good, healthy competition. Someone will play better than someone else every week. There are going to be opportunities to step into the lineup.”

Sujack likes the fact the Knights partake in the Glen Oak event each year. “That’s a big-boy golf course with big-boy competition,” he said.

“It’s a great opportunity for the guys to get their wits about them.”

The Knights also are part of the Mundelein invitational field later in the season at Steeple Chase.

“That tournament has teams such as Loyola and New Trier—a lot of good teams,” said Sujack. “It’s an opportunity for the kids to test their games on a big-boy golf course against traditionally strong golf programs.”

The Knights also are slated to host a Class 1A regional this year at Maple Meadows in Wood Dale.

“By the end of September, that will be a strength for us,” said Sujack, whose team will play its home matches at Maple Meadows, save for one contest at the Preserve at Oak Meadows in Addison. “That will be very helpful.”

Overall, Sujack is excited about the team’s prospects out of the gates. “I think we could be very competitive right away,” he said.

“As young as we are, we are developing some golf toughness and that will help us later in the year. I suspect things will shift continually throughout the year. It will be fun to see how things shake out.”
