County’s RAMP-UP Program earns statewide award Honored for innovative workforce solution to combat the opioid crisis force Partnership (IWP) Innovative Solutions Award for its program titled, “Recovery and Manufacturing a Path Up (RAMP-UP).” The award

honors exemplary service to the Illi- economic growth of a community or nois workforce system and is given region during the past year. workNet DuPage Executive Dito innovative economic development programs that have resulted in the rector, Lisa Schvach, received the accolade on behalf of the County at the 2019 IWP Awards ceremony in Springfield, Illinois on Thursday, September 12.

The RAMP-UP initiative takes on the opioid crisis by providing individuals in recovery with in-demand manufacturing job training and employment opportunities. Launched in the fall 2018, RAMP-UP acts as a vital guardrail against relapse. It offers recovering addicts a training program that can lead to job prospects and, in turn, hope for a better future. Matching the needs of the local employer base, participants acquire marketable technical skills through a five-month career program that culminates with the MSSC Certified Production Technician (CPT) credential. The program is at no cost for eligible individuals and includes job placement assistance.

“We have taken a proactive and comprehensive approach to fighting the opioid crisis in DuPage County,” said DuPage County Board Member Greg Hart, who is also Chair of the Heroin Opioid Prevention and Education (HOPE) Taskforce. “One of SUBMITTED PHOTO Rock Valley Publishing Pictured here at the at the IWP Awards Ceremony in Springfield are (from left): John Rico, Illinois the best indicators of sustained sucWorkforce Board President and President/CEO of Rico Enterprises; Lisa Bly, IWP Vice President; Lisa cess in a drug treatment program is Schvach, workNet DuPage Executive Director; Michelle Cerutti, IWP President; and Tom Wendorf, Illinois employment.

viding a boost in our local economic development efforts.”

Less than a month since graduating the first class in April, all participants were employed in the manufacturing industry. Attendance and dedication to the program was remarkable, according to organizers, despite significant barriers including transportation, and in the case of one student, homelessness. Due to the positive results of the pilot, the program was continued with a second cohort that began in June 2019.

“As workforce development professionals, the only weapons we have at our disposal to battle the opioid epidemic are job training and employment services,” said workNet DuPage Executive Director Lisa Schvach. “While it seems like an unfair fight, we won a small battle with the pilot program, and we hope to see our clients continue to succeed.”

A network of stakeholders lent expertise and resources to make the program a success, including: the DuPage County Health Department, the DuPage County Probation & Court Services, College of DuPage, DuPage County Community Services, Healthcare Alternative Systems, Serenity House, and JUST of DuPage.

The DuPage County Workforce Development Division/workNet DuPage was selected from 22 workforce innovation boards across the state to receive the IWP Innovative Solutions Award.

• Make sure that doors and windows have tight fitting screens.

• Remove containers that may hold water to eliminate standing water which serves as a breeding ground for mosquitoes, i.e., discarded tires, cans, ceramic pots.

• Keep weeds and grass cut short since adult mosquitoes look for shady places to rest during the hot daylight hours.

• Change water in bird baths at least once per week.

• Drain water from pool covers, and keep pools and hot tubs chlorinated and clean.

• Keep gutters clean.

• Inform the village at 630-6205740 if you have a private catch basin. The village will have it added to the list for larviciding briquettes.

The Village of Lombard’s mosquito abatement program with Clarke Mosquito Control includes the standard treatment all of standing waters with larvicide, but the village also

goes beyond many other municipalities by also treating backyard (i.e. private) catch basins. It is important to note that there are many species of mosquitoes that impact the Lombard area. The village's larvicide program is focused on targeting Culex Pipiens mosquitoes, which are larger in size than average mosquitoes, and may carry West Nile Virus as larva.

These mosquitoes breed in warm, nutrient-rich standing water over seven days.

Bison boys cross country team fifth at St. Pat’s State qualifier Elizondo headlines group of returners for Bison

The Fenton boys cross-country team has shown promise out of the gates this season.

The Bison recently took fifth out of 16 teams at the St. Patrick invitational. Fenton also was 16th at its own John Kurtz Early Bird invitational.

In both races Sam Elizondo was Fenton’s top individual finisher, setting personal bests on both courses.

Fenton is coming off a 2018 season where it took fifth in the Metro Suburban Conference. Elizondo and junior Matt Sisto are returning all-conference performers.

Fenton has since moved to the Upstate Eight Conference. Fenton was seventh in a Class 2A sectional last year where Elizondo qualified for the state meet.

Elizondo, the team MVP in 2018, ran 15:52 at state and finished 66th.

Sisto also is back, along with senior Jimmy Palumbo, junior Chris Kovich and junior Juan Sosa.

Key newcomers to the group include freshmen Victor Vazquez and Emilio Sanche.

“Our strength this season is going to be our top four runners,” Fenton

coach Patrick Fritsch said. “Sam will be our top runner in most meets this season. He had a great junior year, finishing all-sectional and qualifying for the state meet.

“He already is ahead of where he was at this time last year, and has the potential to be all-state this season.

He needs to drop about 30 seconds off his time from last year, and I definitely think he has the ability and determination to do it.”

Palumbo, Sisto and Vazquez give Fenton more depth in the lineup.

“2018 was Jimmy’s first year of cross country and he showed great potential despite not having any summer training,” Fritsch pointed out.

“Unfortunately, he picked up a nagging ankle injury and was unable to contribute during the state series.

He bounced back and had a great track season and was one of our most consistent runners during summer training. With an entire summer of training, he appears ready to make the jump into that next tier of competitive racing.

“Matt had some great races as a sophomore, including an all-conference finish. The hope is he can find consistency in his racing. The big addition is Victor Vazquez. We have had our eye on Victor for a few years now, and he already is making an impact this season. It looks as if he will lead the charge of our pack behind Sam, which could help push us over

We really are in the dark about our conference outlook.

We know our team will be stronger 1-5 compared to last year, but we have had many meets against Upstate Eight competition with which to compare ourselves.”

the top.”

Fritsch said a key will be those 2-4 runners. “We have seen the most improvement in our second through fourth runners,” he said. “For most races last year, the gap between Sam and our No. 2 runner was enormous. This year, despite continued improvement by Sam, that gap has actually gone down. This is a good indicator our top five runners as a whole are stronger than they were last year.”

Fritsch said securing that fifth consistent score this season is something

the team has been hard at work on.

“The keys to having a good season rest on one of our younger runners stepping up to fill the role of our fifth runner,” he said. “The top five finishers from each team count toward the team score. The quality of a team’s fifth runner can make the difference between qualifying for state or contending for a conference title. We currently have four strong runners.

We are searching for that person who can help push us toward our goal of finishing in the top five at sectionals and qualifying for state as a team.”

Fritsch said it’s hard to offer any UEC prognostications with this being Fenton’s first year in the league.

“We really are in the dark about our conference outlook,” he said.

“We know our team will be stronger 1-5 compared to last year, but we have had many meets against Upstate Eight competition with which to compare ourselves. West Aurora won the conference last year, but they moved to a new conference.

That leaves the door open for a few teams such as Bartlett, East Aurora and Glenbard East. Bartlett returns its top two runners and had a bunch of talent on the frosh-soph level last year. We saw Glenbard East at our home invite and they finished a strong fourth against tough competition.”

Fenton heads to the Warren invitational Saturday.

At the West Chicago Invitational, the Bison lost 25-17 25-18 to Woodstock and then beat Elgin 25-15, 2518. Fenton lost 25-22, 25-18 to West Chicago and 25-17, 19-25, 25-20 to Dundee-Crown.

Through late last week, Fenton was 10-5 overall and 1-1 in UEC play.

Julianna Krebasch was leading the team in kills and blocks, while Noha Zagotti was tops in assists. Ximena Boratto was tops in digs and Sydney Minard was leading the team in aces.

“Serving is still our best asset at the moment,” said Torres. “We have a lot of girls who can step up to the line and get us a string of points. We are calling zones for them this season, and they are very good when it comes to serving where we want them to.”

Torres also likes the varied contributions she is getting from her roster.

“The depth of our team has really improved,” she said. “That’s not a single skill or area of play, but we have 15 girls we can put on the court and have them contribute to our success.

If a teammate is struggling, we can put someone in to help get us back on track.”

Passing has been a key for Fenton’s offensive prospects. “When our passing is decent, our offensive attack is fun to watch,” said Torres. “Noha is doing a great job of spreading the ball around, and our hitters are doing a great job of putting the ball down.

Noha is having an incredible year.

She is on pace to record more than 400 assists, which hasn’t been done in years prior to Mackenzie Miller

getting there last year.”

Defensive improvement also continues to be a point of emphasis for the bison. “It’s always a work in progress,” said Torres. “We have been rotating a lot of players in the back. We are trying to find the hot hands each match. We are going to continue working each day and make sure we can turn this into a strength heading into the postseason.”

Also playing well are senior middle Rebecca Millard and junior defensive specialist Madison Spencer.

“Rebecca can really jump,” Torres said. “She has started to become a presence at the net by getting her hands on just about every attack from the opponents while she is in the front row. Madison did not see much court time early, but finished the West Chicago invite wearing the libero’s jersey. She has been solid in the back and has helped us with her serving ability.”

Torres said Fenton will use the West Chicago invite as a springboard back into the win column. “We just went through a little bit of a rough stretch, but really feel we finished the West Chicago invite ready to get back on a nice win streak,” she said.

“The girls are working hard and we are very excited that we are on pace to win 20-plus matches for a second straight season. Also, we will be hosting a regional this year and are looking to prepare to win the regional on our home court.”

Fenton played Elgin earlier this week in a UEC game and heads to Norridge for the Ridgewood invitational Saturday.

DuPage state reps, County Sheriff partner to fight opioid crisis Between 2015 and 2018, opioid deaths in DuPage County almost doubled, from 51 reported deaths in 2015 to 98 deaths in 2018. In an effort to reverse this alarming trend, four DuPage County Republican State Representatives are partnering with DuPage Sheriff James Mendrick to fight the epidemic through distribution of a new, easy-to-use drug disposal system.

House Republican Leader Jim Durkin (R-Western Springs), along with state Reps. Deanne Mazzochi (R-Elmhurst), Grant Wehrli (R-Naperville) and Amy Grant (R-Wheaton), are helping Mendrick distrib-

ute disposable bags that deactivate the harmful ingredients in opioid pills or patches.

According to Mendrick, individuals with leftover opioids simply have to put them into the bag, add water, and shake. A drug deactivation system then breaks down the drugs to a point where they can safely be thrown in the trash. Mendrick said any leftover prescription of up to 45 pills or six fentanyl patches can be destroyed in the pouches.

The disposal bags were made available to the sheriff’s office free of charge through a grant obtained by the Illinois Sheriffs Association.

“The majority of those who abuse opioids are finding the drugs in medicine cabinets,” said Leader Durkin. “These leftover pain pills represent the starting point of an opioid addition. Providing a free and safe way for people to dispose of their unused medications will go far in preventing opioid addictions and overdoses.”

Rob Reynolds, director of Advocacy for Verde Technologies, which produces the drug deactivation bags, said the use of the pouches for opioid disposal will save lives.

“Once it’s in the pouch, it’s permanently unavailable for abuse or

diversion,” he said. “Secondly, it trict offices. Mazzochi’s office is lomakes it safe to throw in the house- cated at 1 S. Cass Ave., Westmont hold trash without having to worry Centre, Suite 205, Westmont. about pharmaceutical waste entering the water system.”

“I thank Sheriff Mendrick for identifying a simple and safe way to dispose of harmful opioids ‎for district residents,” said Mazzochi. “I am happy to support a program that reduces the risk of medication as an addiction vector.”

The free opioid deactivation bags are available at the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office, at the legislators’ community outreach events, and at all four of the Representatives’ dis-

GETTING INTO HEADGEAR

In cases where fixed orthodontic appliances (“braces”) alone cannot sufficiently align teeth and/or fix growth-related problems of the jaws, the

by Jeffrey T. Boland orthodontists may introduce headgear Licensed Orthodontic Specialist into the treatment plan. “Orthodontic headgear” includes any appliance that is worn partly outside the mouth, with straps that wrap around the back of the head and neck. Attached to braces with hooks or a “facebow” (a U-shaped wire that attaches to the bands on the back teeth), headgear can be used to hold back the growth of the upper jaw, thereby correcting an excessive horizontal overbite (“overjet”) in children. Other types of orthodontic headgear address other types of malocclusion. All should be worn for 12-14 hours per day.

There will usually be a period of adjustment when first starting treatment, especially in young children. To adapt more comfortably, many orthodontists will recommend a rampingup stage in which the patient wears the device for one hour on the first day and increase the duration by an hour every day until the target time is reached. In non-growing children and adults, orthodontic headgear is occasionally used to correct severe spacing problems when braces alone are not enough. To schedule an orthodontic consultation, please give us a call. Available by appointment, we honor all kinds of insurance and charge zero interest on financing. Straighter Smiles Are Our Specialty!

P.S. Reverse-pull (“facemask”) headgear can be used to correct an “underbite” by pulling the upper jaw forward.

While other insurers just see your home and car as a bundle or a combo deal, I take the time to see what they mean to you and give them the protection they deserve.

In August, the Illinois Department of Public Health reported the death of an individual who had recently vaped and was hospitalized with severe respiratory illness. The department also reported that the number of cases of people reported to IDPH who have used e-cigarettes or vaped and have been hospitalized with respiratory symptoms has doubled in the past week.

In addition the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that more than 149 possible cases of severe lung illness associated with e-cigarette product use were reported by 15 states between June 28 and Aug. 20.

Addison police, fire officials join Addison Trail High School in remembering Sept. 11

By Aidan O’Donnell

ADDISON TRAIL SENIOR

On Sept. 11, members of the Addison Police Department and the Addison Fire Protection District came to Addison Trail to commemorate and honor the victims of the terrorist attacks that took place 18 years ago.

Police Chief Bill Hayden began by talking to the students and staff over the intercom about the tragedy that took place on Sept. 11, 2001, explaining how the officers and country as a whole united that day. The first responders also led the school in the Pledge of Allegiance, and the Addison Trail Concert Choir performed the National Anthem.

The first responders also spoke with students from two social studies classes, sharing where they were on Sept. 11, taking questions from the students and providing an in-depth look at their job.

Hayden said no day is ever the same as an officer and compared the job to an “emotional rollercoaster.”

Fire Chief Joe Leone agreed. “(This job is about) service before self,” Leone said. “We don’t do this job for ourselves or for the money – we do it to help others.”

Hayden and Leone talked about the constant training it takes to become a first responder, as well as the integrity and ability to be unbiased that is required for the job.

Letter to the editor

Addison Teachers’ Association offers contract negotiations information Addison’s teachers have been in contract negotiations with the Board of Education since February 2019.

The teachers’ contract expired June 30, 2019. For the 3rd consecutive time since 2013, as we embrace a new school year with our students, we’re working without a contract.

What are the issues?

District 4 has the Highest Education Surpluses in DuPage County over the last 8 years, but the lowest per student instructional investment in student learning in DuPage County. The Board needs to put students first. We won’t accept anything less.

District 4 has the greatest wealth in its history. The district has an enormous $52.4 million in cash reserves (accumulated assets District 4 is holding in extra savings/reserves) and can competitively invest in students and teachers without raising taxes.

Total surpluses have averaged $5.6 million per year over the last eight years.

This is the amount of excess revenue the district is taking in each school year.

Why isn’t the board investing more of this money each year in our students’ education?

District 4 is losing quality teachers year after year. It’s largely due to non-competitive salaries and benefits.

Our teachers’ compensation is still far below average for all DuPage County elementary school districts.

When it comes to our salaries, we are only requesting average. Truly competitive pay is essential in order to attract and retain great teachers and provide the best possible education for Addison’s children.

We need to stop the revolving door that makes us a temporary training ground for teachers. Our students, our schools, and our community deserve the best.

We also seek competitive health care quality & affordability. Many Addison teachers still cannot afford the health insurance they need for their families.

District 4’s employer contributions for health insurance are far below average in DuPage County, so our teachers pay far more for health coverage than other DuPage County teachers.

Thank you for your kindness and support. We cherish our wonderful partnership with parents. We are proud to teach your children, and proud to be part of this community.

We invite Addison community members to attend the next Board of Education meeting September 25, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. at Indian Trail Junior High.

A PROVIDENCE LIFE SERVICES COMMUNITY

ALPINE CREEK DENTAL & EDUCATION

What many people don’t know is that dental insurance is quite different from medical insurance. Dental insurance premiums can be more expensive than simply paying out of your own pocket for routine checkups and cleanings many times. Most dental policies emphasize prevention and diagnostics, typically covering two annual exams and cleanings and x-rays annually.

||||||||||||||||

DENTAL INSURANCE IS NOT “INSURANCE” BY DEFINITION. Dental "insurance" should really be called dental benefits. It is a benefit typically offered by an employer, however, it more appropriately should be considered a coupon for dental care a year, regardless of one's dental health. Typical Dental Benefit plans have a $1500 maximum per year and have waiting periods up to one year. To treat a tooth with a root canal, a build up and a crown, usually, the dental benefits may not be enough for the cost of treatment needed.

Anyone exploring dental coverage may want to consider forgoing traditional dental insurance in favor of an alternative: an in office membership plan. You pay an annual fee to receive certain services at a set rate or at a discount. Here at Alpine Creek Dental we offer an in office plan that is a yearly fee and covers one set of x-rays, one exam, plus 10% off all services for one full year. There are no waiting periods, and there are no maximums as to how much you can save in a given year. Contact us to find more about our in office membership plan.

Always remember that although you might be tempted to make a decision based on what your insurance will pay, remember that your health is the #1 priority. Take time to discuss the best possible options regarding your care so that you can keep your teeth for a lifetime!

Illinois Secure Choice program takes aim at ‘retirement crisis’

By Jerry Nowicki CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

More than 24,000 private sector Illinois workers have collectively stashed away more than $5 million in retirement savings since January as part of a new state program that increases access to retirement accounts for individuals whose employers do not already offer them.

Illinois Secure Choice was created by state law in 2015, requiring businesses with 25 employees or more to offer retirement savings plans or take part in the new program, which automatically enrolls workers in a state-created but independently managed retirement plan.

Illinois Treasurer Mike Frerichs said in a phone interview the program, which will roll out its final phase in November, is the state’s attempt at addressing a nationwide “retirement crisis.”

“Half of working adults have a mean retirement account of zero dollars,” Frerichs said. “It is in our best interest to make sure that people have saved their own money for their retirement. Not just so they can enjoy their golden years, … but also because it is bad for our economy when an entire generation of people reach retirement, and then dramatically decrease their spending because they’re living on a much lower fixed income.”

While the treasurer’s office and an appointed, unpaid board of advisors oversee the program, the money invested by Illinois workers goes straight to an account managed by Ascensus, an independent Pennsylva-

nia-based financial services company that won the bid to administer the program.

That means employees opening the retirement accounts remain in complete control of their money and the state cannot use the funds for any other purpose.

For those saving their money, the only restrictions on the retirement accounts are those that apply to any other privately held retirement account.

Frerichs said the goal of the program is to reduce the roadblocks to retirement savings, because workers often don’t seek to start their own retirement account if not directly offered one by their employer.

“If you start someone saving automatically, most of them continue to save,” he said. “If you make people take some sort of action to save, people put it off. A person with a workplace retirement savings option is 15 times more likely to be saving for their retirement. It’s just simple human nature.”

Businesses with 100 employees or more that do not already offer retirement plans have been enrolling in the program since January. Come November, more than 10,000 employers—those employing between 25 and 99 full-time or part-time individuals—are expected to join the program as part of the final tier of its rollout.

Once a business is enrolled, employees who do not opt out of the program will be automatically enrolled in a Roth IRA savings account, which is accessible at saver.ilsecurechoice. com, a state-run website with infor-

mation on the program.

A default rate of 5 percent of the employee’s income is withheld from each paycheck and deposited into the account, although the employee has the right to adjust or cancel that con-

tribution at any time. They can also choose how aggressive the plan will be from a handful of options.

Employees enrolled in the program pay an annual fee of 0.75 percent of their invested money—a rate

capped at that amount by state law.

Frerichs said that rate pays for the administration of the program and is on par with other private retirement plans which generally charge in the area of 1 percent.

Warriors come alive to win conference opener Four second-half touchdowns in a 29-0 surge to end the game

By Chris Fox VILLA PARK REVIEW STAFF REPORTER

The Willowbrook football team rebounded from a flat first half to light up the scoreboard in the second half of Friday’s home game against Downers Grove South. The Warriors scored the game’s last 29 points to earn a 32-15 victory in their West Suburban Gold Conference opener.

Willowbrook, which has posted perfect 6-0 conference records in each of the last two seasons, improved its overall 2019 record to 2-1.

The Warriors will play a conference game at Leyden (1-2, 1-0) this Friday. Leyden began the West Suburban Gold season with Friday’s 22-0 victory over Morton.

Downers Grove South, which fell to 1-2 overall, scored its touchdowns at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half. Trailing 15-3 and in danger of suffering their first conference loss since 2016, the Warriors produced four touchdown drives—two in the third quarter and two more in the fourth quarter. Senior Sam Tumilty threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score in the second half. Tumilty fired two touchdown passes to senior Everett Stubblefield in the fourth quarter.

“Our guys battled and hung in,” said Willowbrook coach Nick Hildreth after Friday’s victory. “We haven’t been in a rhythm all year offensively. For a quarter and a-half or so we got ourselves into a rhythm and finished drives.”

The Mustangs opened the scoring by converting a 27-yard field goal attempt early in the second quarter. The Warriors responded with a field goal of their own on the ensuing drive. Tumilty’s 53-yard pass to senior Deandre Holliday set up the score—a 26-yard field goal by sophomore Izzy Manning that tied the game at 3-3 with about nine minutes to play in the first half.

The Mustangs nearly took up the rest of the second quarter on their next drive, which ended with a 1-yard touchdown run with just 24.9 seconds left in the half. Downers Grove South ran for a two-point conversion but failed, leaving the team with a 9-3 lead.

The Mustangs received the second-half kickoff and drove 60 yards for a touchdown—a 2-yard scoring run. The conversion pass failed.

Downers Grove South held a 15-3 lead with less than nine minutes to play in the third quarter.

Willowbrook’s next drive covered 60 yards in less than two minutes.

The Warriors completed the drive

CHRIS FOX PHOTOS Rock Valley Publishing

The Willowbrook football team rallied from a 15-3 deficit to beat Downers Grove South 32-15 on Friday in Villa Park. The Warriors, who opened their West Suburban Gold Conference schedule with the victory, improved their overall season record to 2-1. Senior Sam Tumilty (No. 6-above) threw three touchdown passes. He also ran for one touchdown. Senior Everett Stubblefield (No. 3-above right) hauled in two touchdown receptions in the fourth quarter. He is pictured on his first touchdown—a 35-yard reception early in the period.

Sophomore kicker Izzy Manning (No. 96-right) made all three of her extra-point attempts. She also made a 26-yard field goal in the first half.

with Tumilty’s 10-yard touchdown pass to sophomore Nick Mabutas, who made a juggling catch just short of the goal line. Mabutas corralled the ball as he fell into the end zone.

Manning added the extra-point kick to cut the Mustangs’ lead to 15-10 with 6:50 left in the third quarter.

“The coaches got on us at halftime,” said Tumilty. “They scolded us and said we needed to play with more heart in the second half. They scored early in the second half and we knew we had to score. We had to keep working on offense and stop them on defense.”

Willowbrook’s defense forced a punt on the Mustangs’ ensuing drive.

The Warriors then marched 80 yards for a go-ahead score—a 1-yard run

by Tumilty that gave the team its first lead of the night. Tumilty added a successful two-point conversion run

to boost Willowbrook’s lead to 18-15 with 1:25 left in the third period.

The Warriors’ defensive unit delivered another stop on Downers Grove South’s ensuing drive. Willowbrook took possession late in the third quarter and produced a 64-yard touchdown drive that ended with Tumilty’s 35-yard touchdown toss to Stubblefield with 10:45 left in the fourth quarter.

Tumilty threw the pass high in the air to Stubblefield, who made the catch near the 7-yard line and fought off a defender as he crossed the goal line.

“I beat him [the defender] deep, and Sam led me with the pass,” said Stubblefield. “At halftime our coaches got on us about not playing hard and not playing to the best of our abilities. Once we scored our first touchdown, that’s when the momen-

tum started going.”

Willowbrook’s next offensive drive covered 52 yards and ended with Tumilty’s 15-yard touchdown pass to Stubblefield. Manning’s third extra-point kick of the game closed

out the scoring. A strong run by sophomore Jaylon White helped set up the Warriors’ last touchdown.

“He came in and gave us a spark late in the game,” said Hildreth of White.

Fenton football team loses in double overtime to Streamwood Bess turns in another strong performance for Bison

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

While the result isn’t what it hoped for, the Fenton football team continued pushing forward in Week 3.

The Bison went to Streamwood and lost a tough 28-21 Upstate Eight Conference game to Streamwood in double overtime at Millennium Field.

The loss put Fenton at 2-1 overall

and 2-1 in UEC play.

“It was a good high school football game,” Fenton coach Matt Lynch said. “It was a back-and-forth battle.

At times, we played really well and executed, and at times we had some mental mistakes. It was the mistakes that ultimately cost us the football game. It’s not so much what Streamwood did, but what we didn’t do.”

Lynch referenced a pair of Fenton red-zone possessions. “We did not capitalize on those two possessions,” he said.

“We had one early in the game

and one late. The one early, we easily could have gone up 21-0, instead it’s 14-7. They took advantage. When you play in these types of games, that’s what ultimately hurts you.”

Lynch said a game such as this could prove beneficial in the long run.

“As I explained to the coaches and players when I talked to them after the game, when you are rebuilding a program, you may have to go through this where you have these moments,” he said.

“You use it as a wakeup call or whatever you call it. We took some

Week 4 football previews

“Andre is having a fantastic year,” the coach said. “He’s right around 600 yards for the three games so far and has like seven touchdowns. He’s a tough kid who battles out there.

He’s 160 pounds and is carrying the rock for us, and we don’t run an offense where he just runs outside. This young man is doing a fantastic job.”

Fenton plays defending UEC champion Glenbard East Friday in Bensenville. Glenbard East won the conference with a 9-0 record last year.

The Rams bring a 3-0 record into Friday’s game.

good things out of this one, no doubt. But in Week 1 and Week 2 we preached that we can’t have mental errors because they will come back to bite you in close games and it bit us.”

Lynch pointed out Fenton still has a relatively young makeup to it. “We are playing a lot of kids who have never played varsity football before,” he said. “Now, they are getting that experience.”

Lynch lauded the performance of Andre Bess, who ran 26 times for 169 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns.

his singles and doubles lineups.

“Our first two singles and first doubles are the strongest,” he said.

“We have a freshman (Dravilas) and a sophomore (Doudalis) as our top two singles, which has never happened before. And both of them can beat each other, which makes it hard for me to decide who should be first.

“That’s a good problem to have.

Our first doubles team is our returning first doubles team from last year. Stephanie and Quintila almost got all-conference last year. I expect even bigger things from this this year.”

Hegner said third place in the WSC Gold is something the team is keeping an keen eye on. “We always are competing with Willowbrook, Leyden and Morton,” he said. “If we can beat them, we can take third in conference.”

Addison Trail has another busy week ahead of it with contests scheduled against West Chicago, Proviso East and Morton (today at home) before heading to the Elk Grove invitational Saturday.

“

That’s a good problem to have. Our first doubles team is our returning first doubles team from last year. Stephanie and Quintila almost got all-conference last year.”

The good news for Addison Trail girls’ tennis coach Justin Hegner is the fact his team graduated only three seniors from last year’s squad.

And even better for the current and long-term prospects of the program is the fact the program has but two seniors in it this year, giving it a youthful look that has Hegner excited.

“My whole team has a very competitive spirit,” he said. “We only graduated three seniors and only have two seniors this year on the team. This will keep the team more consistent this year and the next couple years, so that will help us be more competitive in matches.”

Addison Trail took sixth in the West Suburban Conference Gold Division last year and returns the aforementioned two seniors in the No. 1 doubles team of Stephanie Avila and Quintila Villalobos, the team MVPs in 2018.

Also back is sophomore Mia Doudalis, who is moving from No. 2 doubles last year to the No. 1 or No. 2 singles positions this season.

Freshman Mia Dravilas will either play No. 1 or No. 2 singles.

Even though the Blazers are young, Hegner noted last year’s trial by fire will be beneficial in the long run.

“I had three freshmen and two sophomores on the team last year,” he said. “It was tough for them to play on a varsity team, but now they have the experience and have grown a lot as tennis players. They have shown that their maturity and experience will help them win more matches this season.”

Hegner especially likes the top of

The DuPage County Heroin Opioid Prevention and Education (HOPE) Taskforce recently outlined its framework and means to reduce the number of opioid deaths in DuPage County over the next three years.

The Taskforce agreed to five objectives to address the ongoing public health crisis facing our community.

“Reducing access to opioids and increasing access to treatment is particularly important, considering recent news from Coroner Dr. Richard Jorgensen that the epidemic continues to have an acute impact on our County,” said HOPE Taskforce co-chairman and County Board member Greg Hart. “While the 2018 overdose death numbers are concerning, we have a dedicated group partners on the HOPE Taskforce doing important work in our community.

The main objective of the HOPE Taskforce is to coordi-

Addison Trail boys’ soccer team seeded 10th out of 70 at PepsiCo tournament

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Addison Trail boys’ soccer team is in a great place heading into an extremely tough portion of its schedule.

The Blazers were 6-1 through their first seven contests, including a 2-0 mark in the West Suburban Conference Gold Division.

Addison Trail downed Sycamore 3-2 to take third at its own Joe Novy tournament. The Blazers also recorded recent WSC Gold wins against Hinsdale South (6-1) and District 88 neighbor Willowbrook (6-1). The win against Willowbrook keeps the District 88 Soccer Trophy at Addison Trail for a fifth straight year.

However, with his team off to a good start, coach Ryan Dini knows his players will have to be at the top of their games with a tough part of the schedule looming.

The Blazers played DundeeCrown earlier this week in the Pep-

siCo tournament and will play at Wheaton Academy today (5:30 p.m. or 7 p.m.) in another PepsiCo game.

Addison Trail is seeded 10th out of 70 teams in the prestigious annual event.

“We have a nice record right now with our only loss to a solid Glenbard North team,” Dini said. “Our next three weeks of the schedule is very difficult with four games in the PepsiCo Challenge, away games at Leyden and Glenbard West, and homes games against York and Proviso East. We are looking forward to the challenge and really learning more about what our team needs to improve on. These three weeks have big implications on state seedings for the playoffs, so we need to get some wins against very good competition.”

Through seven games, junior Aaron Sanchez was leading the team with seven goals and two assists.

Junior Anthony Hernandez had five goals and one assist, while senior

Leo Acosta had three goals and four assists.

Senior Jose Galindo had four goals and three assists.

Senior goalie Ernesto Padua had a 1.00 goals-against average and a .860 save percentage.

Dini said Addison Trail is excelling in the second half of games. “We are doing a really good job of putting one half together this season,” he said. “So far, we have been playing really good in the second half of soccer games. Our adjustments at halftime have been working and we play with much more urgency and speed.

We are also finding different ways to win games.”

Along the same lines, Dini touched on the need for Addison Trail to come out of the gates even stronger.

“We are starting out slow and not using our speed to start games. We have switched up our warmup and constantly talk about starting out fast, but have yet to accomplish the

Willowbrook girls’ volleyball team wins Leyden invitational Warriors hit 10-win mark thanks to strong all-around play

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Willowbrook girls’ volleyball team did a little bit of everything right.

And the result of that was winning the recent Leyden invitational with a 5-0 mark.

“We did a lot of exciting things,” Willowbrook coach Irene Mason said. “Our serving has really come alive. Serving is a big part of our offense. We were serving aggressively and that helped us a lot. We played great defense and our hitters are scoring much better. Everybody played great.”

Willowbrook opened the tournament with a 25-10, 25-6 win over Chicago Taft. Katie Linnig had one kill, four aces, six assists and one dig. Payton Ceh had one kill, five aces, nine digs and one assist. Noelle Faulk had three kills, one block and two digs. Kyla Ostrowski had seven kills, two aces and one dig.

Grace Reckamp had one kill, seven aces, one block, four digs and four assists. Stephanie Dasbach had one kill and two blocks.

In a 25-15, 25-13 win over Chicago Lane Tech, Natalie Cipriano had four kills and three digs. Linnig had two aces, seven assists and three digs. Ceh had four kills, two aces and 14 digs. Alondra Mendoza had four kills. Faulk had one kill, one block and one dig. Ostrowski had four kills, two aces, one block and three digs. Reckamp had three kills, four aces, seven digs and six assists, while Dasbach had two kills and two blocks.

In a 25-12, 25-13 win over DePaul College Prep, Cipriano had six kills, one block and one dig. Sofia Espinosa had two aces and one dig.

Linnig had four assists and two digs.

Ceh had two aces and 12 digs. Mendoza had one kill, two blocks and one dig. Alejandra Lopez had two aces and three digs. Faulk had four kills. Ostrowski had three kills, two aces and two blocks. Reckamp had one kill, four aces, one block, two digs and eight assists. Dasbach had two kills, four blocks and one dig.

In a 25-14, 25-7 win over host Leyden, Cipriano had two kills, one block and one dig. Espinosa had two aces and two digs. Linnig had one kill, four aces, six assists and three digs. Ceh had one kill, one ace and eight digs. Mendoza had one kill and one block. Lopez had one ace and four digs. Laine Degnan had two kills and one dig. Ostrowski had five kills, one block and three digs.

Reckamp had five kills, eight digs and seven assists, while Dasbach had five kills and two blocks.

Willowbrook closed the tournament with a 17-25, 25-14, 16-14 come-from-behind win over Conant to move to 10-5 on the season.

Cipriano had six kills, one block and two digs. Espinosa had one ace, three digs and one assist. Linnig had three aces, seven assists and six digs. Ceh had two kills, 15 digs and two assists. Mendoza had three kills, two blocks and one dig. Lopez had three aces and six digs. Faulk finished with one kill, one block and three digs. Ostrowski had three kills, four aces and four digs. Reckamp had eight kills, one ace, one block and 12 digs and Dasbach had five kills and three blocks.

“We ended up pulling out that last match against Conant, which was big,” said Mason.

Mason has been particularly impressed with Reckamp’s play of late, along with a host of others.

“Grace is leading us on all levels of the floor with her serving, her sets, her swings and defense,” she said.

“She’s playing all-around great volleyball. Payton Ceh is a great leader for us and she stands out defensively as always. Kyla Ostrowski is our No. 1 outside hitter and is finding ways to score the ball. She’s serving aggressively and passing well.

“Stephanie Dasbach is a middle for us and is doing a great job blocking and is getting more comfortable hitting. She’s is connecting with both setters very well. And this is the first time this season Katie Linnig is looking exactly how I want her to at our other setter position. She was all over the place at Leyden. She had a good selection of sets and was playing smart out there. Her serving is back to what it was. She really carried us.”

Earlier, Willowbrook lost 25-13, 20-25, 25-20 to District 88 foe Addison Trail in a West Suburban Conference Gold Division match.

In a 25-21, 25-18 non-conference win against Riverside-Brookfield, Cipriano had three kills and one dig. Espinosa had two aces and two digs. Linnig had seven assists and three digs. Ceh had one kill, one ace and 10 digs. Lopez had 10 digs, one ace and one assist. Faulk had two kills and one dig. Ostrowski had five kills, one block, two aces and four digs. Reckamp had six kills, four aces, six digs and eight assists, while Dasbach had three kills, two blocks and three digs.

Willowbrook was scheduled to face Morton and Proviso West this week.

“We were upset we lost Elizabeth Bruschuk to injury before the season, but the girls have definitely stepped up,” said Mason. “Hopefully we can continue going up and keep winning. We’re playing well at the right time.”

type of play to start games,” he said.

“It has been extremely frustrating and is something we need to get better at.”

Addison Trail has outscored opponents 29-6 in those first seven games. “That is pretty impressive,” said Dini. “We are getting goals and assists from different players each game, so it has been a team effort.

We are using all 19 players on our roster each game, and our depth is really wearing teams out in the second half. This is also keeping all our players engaged in the game and ready to play when their number is called.”

The numbers are equally impressive on the defensive end where Addison Trail has three shutouts in seven games, and in those other four games, the Blazers have let up two goals twice and one goal twice.

“Our defense has had a couple of key injuries in the past week, but some of our juniors have really stepped up,” said Dini. “Our team depth has really helped out and we hope to get two players back from injury in the next couple of weeks, which should add to making our defense even stronger.”

Padua has given Addison Trail a strong presence in goal. “Ernesto has been really solid in net for us,” said Dini. “He is a leader on the field and is very technical as well. He is excellent on restarts and very accurate in passing from the back on our transitions and switching the field of attack.”

Dini also praised the play of sophomore Sandoval and Sanchez.

“Alex is our only sophomore on varsity and has worked his way into the starting lineup,” he said. “He has a very high work rate and wins back a lot of soccer balls in the middle of the field for us. I have been really impressed with how physical he plays and how he uses his body to shield off defenders. He has been an excellent addition to our rotation and has earned starting minutes.”

Dini pointed out Sanchez had a recent two-game stretch where he stepped up his scoring totals. “Aaron can play forward or wing for us and adds speed and size to our attack,” he said. “This is his first year playing for Addison Trail.”

Sanchez played with the Eclipse club soccer team the last two seasons.

Addison Trail girls’ volleyball team off to solid start

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The returns have been good so far for the Addison Trail girls’ volleyball team.

The Blazers, under the direction of coach Dan Styler, were 10-5 through their first 15 contests and 1-0 in West Suburban Conference Gold Division action after beating District 88 neighbor Willowbrook in three, 25-13, 2025, 25-20.

In other recent action, the Blazers were 25-10, 25-9 non-conference winners over Fenton. Addison Trail also took second in the Willowbrook tournament, going 4-1 there. The Blazers beat West Chicago, Glenbard North, Willowbrook and Glenbard South, and lost 25-21, 20-25, 26-28 to Metea Valley in the championship match.

Through the first 15 contests, senior standout Jessica D’Ambrose was leading the team in kills with 108, service aces with 20 and was passing at a 2.15 clip on a 3.0 scale.

Junior Mia Johnson was leading the team in blocks with 24 and senior Amy Reyes was tops in setting assists with 277.

Styler has seen particular improvement on defense and at the net.

“We have been playing strong defense,” he said. “Our back-row defenders always are tough. We’ve also made some positive strides with the efficiency of our blocking scheme.”

Styler especially liked how his team performed in the win against Fenton. “In our match against Fenton, I was happy with our improvement in covering our hitters,” he said. “Also, we got a step faster in transition and it showed with our offensive efficiency.”

Styler explained the Blazers have started to diversify their offensive scheme more so compared to the beginning of the season. “Ally Severi-

no has really stepped up as a versatile option to move offensively,” he said.

The coach added the team’s passing attack improves as matches wear on. “Once our passers get settled into a match, we have a talented group of ball-control players,” Styler said.

“Our hope is to get off to a strong start in this are in each match.”

Johnson has been a key bright spot defensively at the net. “Mia Johnson has proven to be our best blocker with her transition to right side,” Styler pointed out. “She disrupts the attackers on the opposite side of the net.”

Reyes was cited for her consistent approach running the offense. “Amy has been a steady facilitator on our side of the net,” Styler said. “She is putting her hitters in a position to score routinely. I’m so impressed by how much she has transformed as a leader over the years with her poise and confidence.”

Styler also lauded the recent play of D’Ambrose, Severino and senior outside Katrina Bielanski.

“Jessica continues to amaze us in every match,” he said. “However, we have also seen Ally flourish. It’s rare to see a middle blocker that can play multiple positions like she can.

We’ve also benefited from the allaround contributions of Katrina. Her game has evolved since last year.”

Addison Trail returned to conference play earlier this week against Leyden.

“We’ve played some stellar teams so far,” said Styler. “We are happy to have 10 wins so far, but we’ve learned so much from our five losses. We squared up against some of the premier teams in the state and it helped us go back to the drawing board with areas to improve upon.

We have a group of resilient young ladies. Every loss will help us get better.”

Willowbrook was 41 shots better than second-place Leyden. Fenton took third with a 388 and Maine East

The win moved Willowbrook to 5-2 in duals this season. Willowbrook has won four in a row. (See photos and individual results from the Leyden quad inside this issue.)

Earlier in the week, the Warriors downed Leyden 150-162 in the WSC Gold dual at Sugar Creek in Villa Park.

Senior Joey Zopel led the Warriors with a 35 on the par-32 track. Freshman Brett Vandergrift finished with a 38, as did junior Nick Cipriano. Senior Utah Keehner rounded out the

Public Notice

Crossword Puzzle Answers

PUBLIC NOTICE Public notice is hereby given to all persons concerned that on August 21, 2019, the Board of Police Commissioners of Bensenville, Illinois, voted to amend the Rules and Regulations of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners of the Village of Bensenville. The rule change pertains to the educational requirements necessary for applicants for the position of entry level police officer within the Village of Bensenville. Previously, Chapter III, Section 4 of the Rules and Regulations of the Board of Police Commissioners of the Village of Bensenville required a four year Bachelor’s degree as an educational minimum for entry level police officers. Chapter III, Section 4 has been amended to lower the educational requirements as follows: No person shall be appointed the Department if he or she does not possess a high school diploma or an equivalent high school education. Police applicants must also possess a minimum of 60 semester college credit hours (or an equivalent from a quarter system) from an accredited college or university at the time of application submission. An exception to this requirement shall apply to applicants who within two years of the date of application have completed a minimum of three years of military service (with an honorable discharge) and possess a primary specialty of security, law enforcement, or military police as listed on the DD form 214.

Printed copies of the amended Rules and Regulations may be obtained from the office of the Village Clerk of Bensenville, 12 South Center Street, Bensenville, Illinois, 60106. The amended Rules and Regulations shall be effective ten (10) days after the date of publication of this notice.

One way we can help each other get through these challenging times is to keep our dollars local. Here are three good reasons.

Reason #1: Shopping locally saves you gas and wear and tear on your vehicle.

Reason #2: When you spend your money locally, you support the businesses whose property taxes pay for our municipal services.

Reason #3: Many of our youth programs are supported and sponsored by local businesses and if we don’t support them, they can’t support our kids.
