By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE INDEPENDENT

According to a release issued by the City of Elmhurst and Elmhurst Police Chief Michael Ruth, there was an incident of aggravated vehicular hijacking that reportedly took place in the parking lot of the 7-11 convenience store at 574 S. York St. in Elmhurst.

Fenton seeks parents’ input on Strategic Plan

The first of several Strategic Plan 2.0 Committee Meetings took place on Wednesday, Sept. 22, according to Fenton Superintendent James Ongtengco. All Fenton Families should receive an electronic questionnaire to fill out. Feedback from its partners at home is critical to Fenton’s strategic planning process.

So, what is a Strategic Plan?

“Fenton’s Strategic Plan is our North Star and guides our work for the next three years,” Ongtengco said. “The Strategic Plan will include our district goals, priorities, and action steps.

“We always want our students and families to have a voice here at Fenton, but contributing to the school district’s overall mission is a huge voice and we hope you can find some time to send us your thoughts. All feedback will be reviewed during our strategic plan meetings.”

Fenton parents are urged to watch your phone and email for the questionnaire. Please reply and offer your feedback.

the 7-11 on a report of a vehicular hijacking involving the display of a firearm. Upon arrival, officers met with the victim who said his vehicle had been stolen by two men who were last seen driving it south on York Street.

The victim reported no injuries.

Investigation of the incident has determined that four men occupying a Black Porsche Cayenne SUV pulled into the parking lot of the 7-11 as the victim was entering his parked car. A male suspect exited the Porsche and

approached the victim while holding a black handgun. The suspect demanded his car, key fob, and entered the driver seat of the car. A second male suspect exited the Porsche and entered the front passenger seat of the victim’s car. The victim’s car and Porsche then fled the scene south on York Street. It appears the Porsche was occupied by two additional unknown suspects and that the Porsche was confirmed to be recently stolen in another suburb.

At approximately 12 p.m., the vic-

tim’s abandoned vehicle was recovered by the Chicago Police Department on the 6800 block of S. Wabash Ave. The victim’s vehicle was processed by Elmhurst Police evidence technicians and investigators have canvassed the area for security video recordings of the incident.

The suspects have been described as: Suspect #1: A black male, late teens to early 20’s, thin build, wearing a black surgical mask, black shirt, and

displaying a black handgun.

Suspect #2: A black male, late teens to early 20’s, thin build, wearing a black surgical mask and black sweatshirt.

Suspect #3: Unknown driver of the Porsche Cayenne.

Suspect #4: Unknown passenger of the Porsche Cayenne.

The Elmhurst Police Department requests that anyone with information or security video of the incident call (630) 530-3050 to speak to investigators.

COVID-19 cases, related hospitalizations decrease in DuPage County Last week, COVID-19 cases and related hospitalizations were headed in the right direction as decreases are reported across DuPage County.

Still, community transmission remains at a “High” level with a 7-day average of 145 new cases per 100,000 reported, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The DuPage County Health Department (DCHD) encourages residents to continue following the mask guidance, maintain physical distancing, and get vaccinated at the earliest opportunity to prevent further community transmission.

“The decrease in COVID-19 case activity is encouraging and an early sign that the prevention actions we are taking are working,” said Karen Ayala, executive director of DuPage County Health Department. “I want to thank the municipalities, businesses, schools, community organizations, and residents who have done their part, including the more than 500,000 residents who have been fully vaccinated and all those who continue wearing a mask in indoor public settings. Our message now is for everyone to keep working together to help our community emerge from this pandemic.”

According to the latest CDC COVID-19 vaccination data, DuPage County ranks 218th out of 3,283 counties, which is in the top 10 percent among U.S. counties with residents fully vaccinated. Currently, 88 percent of eligible residents 12 years and older in DuPage County have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, and 70 percent are fully

vaccinated.

Of residents 65 years and older, 99.9 percent have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, and 85 percent are fully vaccinated. However, among 12 to 17-year-olds in DuPage County, 77 percent have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, and only 58 percent are fully vaccinated.

To help reduce spread in schools and the community, all unvaccinated persons aged 12 years and older are urged to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible.

Currently, people with moderately to severely compromised immune systems are recommended to receive a third dose of a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Those who believe they are eligible for a third vaccine dose should talk to their healthcare provider.

Third-dose vaccinations are available through local pharmacies or healthcare providers and can be given 28 days after receiving the second dose.

DCHD is actively monitoring the situation regarding COVID-19 boosters for fully vaccinated people.

Although booster shots are expected to begin this fall, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must first authorize a third dose of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines and the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) must issue booster dose recommendations based on the evidence presented.

The FDA scheduled a meeting with its vaccine advisers Sept.

17 to discuss booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. As more information becomes available, DCHD will share additional updates.

U.S. News ranks Elmhurst University’s nursing program among best in nation this year, to No. 146, on U.S. News’ rankings of the country’s Best Graduate Schools. The graduate nursing program ranks sixth in Illinois, again behind much larger institutions such as the University of Illinois at Chicago and Rush University.

“For a smaller nursing program to be in the top 40 percent nationwide, and ranked sixth in the state of Illinois with large and well-known programs, speaks to the quality of the nursing programs at Elmhurst University,” said Diane Salvador, executive director of the department of nursing and health sciences.

“As we maintain our focus on student-centeredness, academic rigor and high-quality faculty, we look forward to continued success for the program and our students.”

Elmhurst rose several spots this year in the Best Value Schools category, from 23rd to 17th among universities in the Midwest region. To determine which colleges and universities offer the best value for students, U.S. News factors academic quality and cost after accounting for total expenses and financial aid.

Elmhurst University’s undergraduate nursing program ranks among the best in the nation, according to the latest rankings by U.S. News & World Report.

Published on Sept. 13, U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges for 2022 announced its first-ever rankings of bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) programs. Of 694 top nursing programs across the country, Elmhurst’s ranks 288th, with the very top spots occupied by far larger, research-based institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania, Duke University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.

Among Illinois schools, Elmhurst ranks sixth. The rankings are based on the judgments of deans and senior faculty members of nursing schools and departments, and institutions around the country.

Elmhurst’s rankings for undergraduate nursing programs build on similar national recognition for the University’s graduate nursing programs, which went up 13 places

Fenton’s 9-11 ceremony honors victims of attacks 20 years ago Local community gathers to pay tribute to first responders as well

Nearly 60 first responders and members of the armed services were honored during Bensenville’s “September 11, 2001 Remembrance Program,” which took place before the Fenton High School varsity football game on Friday, Sept. 10.

Hosted by Fenton, the ceremony aimed to honor first responders, veterans, and Americans who perished in the 9-11 terrorist attacks, as well as recognize those who are currently on standby to serve and protect our local communities and our great nation.

Among the distinguished guests was Retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Yantis, who was working in the Pentagon the day of the attack. The ceremony also honored Prisoners of War (POWs), soldiers Missing in Action (MIA), fallen first responders and all who are currently serving or on standby to serve.

Fenton football players, soccer players, cheerleaders, and Dance

Force members led the honored guests onto the field. Cheer and Dance students then unfolded and held a large American Flag at midfield.

The Chicago Bears generously participated in the ceremony and donated $5,000 to Bensenville and Wood Dale first responders. Retired Bears players Emery Moorehead and Wendell Davis were in attendance to pay tribute and deliver the check.

Bison football players were selling “Never Forget” t-shirts during lunch periods throughout the week and at the gate before the game. All proceeds, plus all revenue from the concession stands, are also being donated to first responders. T-Shirts are still available while supplies last.

Fenton’s event attracted coverage from Fox 32 Chicago, WGN Channel 9, and NBC 5 Chicago. Some of the guests of the ceremony were interviewed by Fox 32.

Reflections on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 updates from my COVID-19 Global Vaccination Caucus. I was pleased to see last week that President Biden is making plans for a global summit on COVID-19 vaccine supplies, manufacturing, and distribution.

Given that the COVID-19 virus has wreaked havoc across the globe, it is only logical that we would form international coalitions to defeat it.

My COVID-19 Global Vaccination Caucus was also encouraged to see last week that the House Energy and Commerce Committee passed its portion of the Build Back Better Act, which included $2 billion to expand global and domestic vaccine manufacturing.

While we need more support to vaccinate the nearly 60 percent of the world yet to receive a single dose of any COVID-19 vaccine, this is still an

important step in our goal of ending this pandemic. The COVID-19 Global Vaccination Caucus is committed to efforts that aggressively attack the virus, such as my NOVID Act which would create a U.S.-led program to vaccinate populations in the 92 poorest countries. This will save lives in those impoverished countries, as well as protect our country from further deadly COVID-19 variants arriving at our shores.

Provisions from my Tobacco Tax Equity Act included in Build Back Better Act Last week, the House Ways and Means Committee passed its portion of the Build Back Better Act, which included provisions from my Tobacco Tax Equity Act. I introduced the Tobacco Tax

Equity Act alongside Senator Durbin to close loopholes in the tax code, raise cigarette taxes for the first time in over a decade, and apply federal taxes on e-cigarettes—such as JUUL products—for the first time.

As the co-founder of the Congressional Caucus to End the Youth Vaping Epidemic and Chairman of the Oversight Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy, I was a strong advocate for updating our tobacco tax code in this package.

E-cigarettes have grown in popularity among our youth population, with 20 percent of high school students reportedly using them in 2020, and it is time they are taxed like cigarettes to discourage their use among kids and teens.

Judiciary Committee heeds my calls for reforming employmentbased green card system After much advocacy efforts, I’m pleased to report that the

House Judiciary Committee passed its portion of the Build Back Better Act this week, which included relief to individuals in the employment-based green card backlog.

As an original cosponsor of the Equal Access to Green Cards for Legal Employment (EAGLE) Act (H.R. 3648), I led 40 Members of Congress in sending a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on the importance of including this reform in this package.

The provisions included in the Judiciary Committee’s bill include measures to make the system faster, simpler and aid the over 1.2 million individuals stuck in the backlog. I hope that the Senate follows through on the next step and passes this portion of the Build Back Better Act. Raja Krishnamoorthi represents Illinois’ 8th Congressional District, which includes portions of Addison, Wood Dale, Bensenville, Elmhurst, Villa Park and Lombard.

By U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi We commemorated the 20th anniversary of 9/11 earlier this month.

We remembered the nearly 3,000 people who died that day.

I was honored to join with local representatives, firefighters and police officers in Schaumburg on Sept. 11 to remember the sacrifices of the heroes that day.

As I said at that ceremony, we saw the “9/11 spirit” in the aftermath: courage in the face of evil, resilience in the face of tragedy, and unity above all else.

Updates from the COVID-19 Global Vaccination Caucus I’d like to share some exciting

Crime prevention tips you can use

The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) offers the following crime prevention tips that can help prevent crime at home: • Consider installing motion-sensored lighting that will come on if someone is walking around your yard. Outside doors should have a motion-sensored, bright, working light to illuminate visitors.

• All entryways should have a working, keyed entry lock and sturdy deadbolt lock installed into the frame of the door.

• Keep bushes and trees trimmed so that you can see into your yard and neighbors can see your house.

• Look into an alarm system. A basic system can be purchased for less than $100, plus a monthly monitoring fee.

• Keep spare keys with a trusted neighbor, not under a doormat or planter, on a ledge, or in the mailbox.

• House numbers should be clearly displayed so police and other emergency vehicles can find the house quickly.

• Set at least two light timers to turn lights on and off in a logical sequence when away from home for an extended time period.

• Make sure sliding glass doors have strong, working key locks. A dowel or a pin can be installed to prevent the door from being shoved aside or lifted off the track. Lock the sliding door at night and when leaving the house.

• Stop mail and newspaper deliveries or make arrangements for a neighbor/friend to pick them up when going away from home for a period of time.

Foundation celebrates 35 years of charitable support in DuPage On Sept. 30, 1986, The DuPage Community Foundation was officially introduced as the new charitable conduit for DuPage County, starting out with a $100,000 matching challenge grant as a donor-advised fund of The Chicago Community Trust.

Thirty-five years later, DuPage Foundation’s total charitable capital has grown to more than $185 million, of which $60 million has been distributed in cumulative grants to succeed the Foundation’s vision to raise the quality of life in DuPage County.

Within the last four years, the Foundation doubled its charitable impact, distributing $60 million in cumulative grants, compared to awarding $30 million in cumulative grants as 2017 came to a close. Since its inception in 1986, the Foundation distributed a total of 8,812 grants to 1,493 not-forprofit agencies serving the residents of DuPage County and beyond.

During the last decade, the Foundation’s total annual grant distributions have increased from $1.4 million in 2011 to more than $8.9 million today. Through the Community Needs Grant Program, special initiatives, donor-advised grants and designated grants, the Foundation is committed to supporting local not-for-profit organizations in all areas of service to help DuPage residents in need.
