changed, but the underlying premise -- to provide a safe, nurturing environment that enriches the lives of children during their preschool years -- has remained the same.

A couple of years ago a letter was received from a gentleman who graduated from Buttons and Bows in 1968. He commented on the huge impact teacher Elaine Bell had made in his life all these years later. A wonderful tribute!

The school finds it especially exciting when parents who went to Buttons and Bows themselves are now bringing their own children to the preschool.

“We are very proud and humbled by our amazing history and are committed to carry on the values of Buttons and Bows for 60 more years,” said Jamie Sharko of Buttons & Bows. “In recent years, we have added numerous programs and activities that include the entire family and enrich our school year together.

At the City Council meeting on Monday, Oct. 15, the Elmhurst Fire Department, along with the City’s Department of Public Works, was honored for recently obtaining an upgraded certification from the Insurance Services Office (ISO). After an introduction by Mayor Steve Morley, Fire Chief Thomas Freeman ex-

plained what it means for the City and its residents.

The ISO analyzes various data and assigns a protection classification to a community based on four areas, Freeman said: the fire department; the emergency communications system, in this case, DuComm; the water supply; and community risk reduction.

“Community risk reduction refers to what we do to prevent fires in the

The property at 162 So. York Road was purchased with the understanding and promise that the transition adult students would be on the second floor.

They are currently using a property on north York Road.

I had a discussion with Ms. Redmond at the Board of Education on Oct. 1. The Board of Education is looking to find another property for these young adults. They are not being moved into the building we bought for them.

On July 16, 2014, I obtained a Freedom of Information Act response.

Between 8-12-2009 and 6-18-2014, the taxpayers, that is you, spent $286,364.47 on rent for those students. I assumed, which is dangerous, that the rent would stay the same. If that is true, we are spending about $40,000 a year in rent. We have spent almost $450,000 on rent. I say no more.

Until these students are moved to 162 So. York, I am voting ‘no’ in November.

“Water supply is an important part of it because a fire department is only as capable as the water supply. We wouldn’t be in this position without an adequate water supply.”

Freeman then announced that Elmhurst had just been certified as an ISO Class 1 community for fire safety, drawing applause from City staff, elected officials and the audience

gathered in Council Chambers. It helps the City keep fire insurance premiums at a minimum.

He went on to say that just 329 out of 46,000 communities in the nation are designated Class 1 communities and Elmhurst is one of only 19 communities out of 400 in the state of Illinois.

“That puts [Elmhurst] in the top seven-tenths of one percent of all communities in the nation,” Freeman said. “That’s something to be proud of.”

Jake Molter Jake Molter was called home early Saturday morning September 29, 2018. He is survived by his three children, Judy, Daniel, and David (Paula) and two grandchildren Michael and Kevin. He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 62 years, Joan Molter (Burgeson) and a large family of 9 brothers and sisters. Services and Interment are private at St. Peter’s Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, Memorials will be appreciated to St. Peter’s United Church of Christ, 125 W. Church St., Elmhurst.

The son of Jacob Molter Sr. and his wife Annie, Jake grew up in Chicago, attended Lane Tech High School and DeVry Technical School.

He served in the U.S. Navy as a flight prep mechanic aboard the USS Antietam CV36 during the Korean War. In 1955, after returning from the service, he married Joan Burgeson and started a family in Bensenville in a newly-built house that remained his home for the rest of his years.

Before the service, he started work with Illinois Bell Telephone Co. as an inter-office delivery courier. Now back in civilian life, he resumed work at Illinois Bell as a telephone lineman on the long line cable installations. Later, he moved on to residential repair and finally, to PBX business data repair. During his years

there, Jake learned how to talk to people and get to know their stories.

He did repairs at so many local businesses and could recite what each company did as you drove by them in town. Jake retired in 1985 with 38 years of service.

After his retirement from the phone company, he took on a new job as the faithful caretaker of St. Peter’s United Church of Christ, where he worked for the next nine years.

The friendships he gained during that time lasted him the rest of his life.

When that chapter ended and he was truly retired, he enjoyed traveling to Minocqua, Wis., to vacation and golf. He became friends with the resort owners and soon started helping out with the building of their cabins and doing repairs. This was something that gave him great satisfaction and lasting friendships with good memories. The resort owner even named their new dog “Jake” in his honor.

Back home he enjoyed peaceful evenings at the Elmhurst train platform with other train enthusiasts while gaining a new circle of friends, telling stories and passing the time.

As recently as last month, Jake got to travel to the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC, as part of the Honor Flight Chicago organization to tour the Korean and WWII memorials.

As a father, he taught his children the values of hard work by example of his dedicated work ethic. He taught how everyone has a story and how important it is to really “hear” each person. He always took time to

take his family on simple vacations each summer to Wisconsin, where he taught them how to fish and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. He was a builder, a fixer, a mechanic, a doer, a father, and a friend. “Journey on,

sweet father. Thanks for all you’ve done and continue to do in our lives.”

On Saturday, Oct. 13, Heritage Day was held at the one-room Churchville Schoolhouse, where games, tours and activities were the theme of the day. The Conrad Fischer School Singers performed songs from America’s past. There

was a square-dancing demonstration, including lessons for guests to try. The “School Marm” was inside the schoolhouse to talk about classroom life in the mid-1800s and early 1900s. Kids were able to try out the kinds of games students would play at recess – from an era long before video games!

Fun Facts about the Churchville Schoolhouse • Churchville School was built circa 1846.

• The vestibule and bell tower were added in 1894.

• It was used as a schoolhouse from 1846-1930.

• It was used again briefly in 1954, when the Bensenville School District needed it for an overflow classroom.

• In 1883, Illinois passed a law requiring all children between the ages of 8 and 14 to attend public or private school for at least 12 weeks during a year. This rule was not strictly enforced until after World War II. • During certain times of the year, children were needed at home to help their family. In 1910, 30 students were enrolled, but only 19 students on

average would show up for class every day.

• The school year was from Sept. 1 to June 1. The school day began at 9 a.m. when the schoolteacher rang the handbell. The day usually ended at 4 p.m.

• There were mid-morning and mid-afternoon breaks for students to use the outhouse or play a game.

• At noon, there was lunch and recess.

• Students had Labor Day off and a half-day for Ascension Day, a religious holiday in May. They had four days off for Thanksgiving, one week at Christmas and a three-day weekend at Easter. There was no fall or spring break. If the teacher was sick, school was cancelled.

State Rep sponsors legislation to strengthen penalties against human traffickers State Representative Deanne Mazzochi (R-Elmhurst) is leading the fight to increase penalties for those who would engage in human trafficking of underage children in Illinois.

“While Illinois relies on its transportation expertise for economic growth, one dark side of this efficiency is that our network attracts a criminal element as well,” said Mazzochi, Chief House Sponsor of HB 5079.

“We have long known that human trafficking occurs in Illinois, and that there is a type of predator who targets those who are underage. When other states have enhanced penalties, and Illinois does not, that gives perverse incentives to exploit children here in our state. We need to send a clear message that forcing people- often young girls- into involuntary servitude through human trafficking, will not be tolerated and that those who engage in this despicable crime will face a very severe penalty.”

HB 5079 would amend the Crim-

inal Code to increase penalties for Class X human trafficking offences to 12-30 years of incarceration. The bill also adds the offense of involuntary sexual servitude of a minor to the definition of sex offenses for sex offender registration purposes, and provides victims with enhanced opportunities to seek justice through civil suits.

“Under today’s Sex Offender Registration Act, those convicted of involuntary sexual servitude do not have to register as a sex offender, and we need to fix that,” Mazzochi said. “Illinois right now has some of the shortest minimum sentences for some forms of human trafficking. In this day and age, this is not an area where Illinois should be lagging behind, and our prosecutors need more leverage to ensure predators stay behind bars.”

The Chief Co-Sponsor of HB 5079 is Rep. Carol Ammons (D-Champaign).

Letters to the editor

State Rep candidate seeks swift Reader finds action regarding Sterigenics Plant referendum Candidate Jim Caffrey is asking that Governor Rauner and the IPEA declare the Sterigenics facility in Willowbrook a threat to public health and to revoke its air permit.

“There is a Sterigenics facility just outside the 47th district that has been emitting a cancer-causing product into the villages of the 47th district including Hinsdale, Western Springs, Clarendon Hills, and Westmont,” said Caffrey. “This factory cannot continue to operate without new rules being put into place to ensure that the air we breathe is safe from any cancer-causing agents.”

Caffrey agrees with the recommendations put out by the Illinois Environmental Council (IEC) regarding next steps in regulating Ethylene Oxide (EtO). These steps include drafting rules to strengthen EtO emission limits, EtO use in gen-

eral, and provide authority for the IEPA to reopen air pollution permits in specific instances where “allowable levels of emissions are found to create a public health hazard.” Taking these steps would give the state the ability to regulate the Sterigenics plant in line with the current understanding of the risks posed by EtO, not the regulations established prior to EtO being labeled a known carcinogen.

He is also seeking the Illinois EPA to provide necessary documentation to the Attorney General’s office to determine if the Sterigenics plant should be shut down. Caffrey added “We need the IL EPA to do its job and move quickly,” Caffrey said.

“This is no time for bureaucratic redtape to slow down the process.”

Elmhurst Centre for Performing Arts preps for 3rd annual Gala

On Saturday, Nov. 3, Elmhurst Center for Performing Arts (ECPA) will host its third annual Spotlight Gala to celebrate the arts in the community. The Gala benefits ECPA, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) dedicated to the creation of a state-of-the-art venue for theater, dance and comedy in the Elmhurst City Centre.

“We are thrilled to host our third annual Gala evening,” said ECPA Board Chair Jeff Budgell. “This event is an integral part of our overall plan to communicate and connect with our enthusiastic supporters.”

Over the past year, the ECPA initiative has advanced discussions and planning for a financially viable solution to establish a center for arts in

the heart of Elmhurst.

“This community – Elmhurst and the surrounding area – is hugely passionate about the arts as evidenced by the number and variety of programs for our youth, the myriad of performing arts groups that appeal to all age groups, and the extent to which we enjoy attending performances,” Budgell said. “The ECPA initiative is bringing together people who share that passion and support a community-based center.”

The Gala will be held at the Elmhurst Art Museum beginning at 7 p.m. and will feature performances by local artists including Evolution Dance, Extensions Lyrical Dance and the York High School band per-

formers. The cocktail-style program includes an open bar and food varieties from Beyond Events Catering, Elmhurst Brewery, Kilwins, Courageous Bakery and My/Mo Mochi. The evening will conclude with dancing to live music performed by the talented Brian Patti Orchestra.

“This year’s Spotlight Gala will be our best yet,” said Tricia Belletire, co-chair of the Gala planning team.

“It is a thrill to be planning this wonderful evening with the many people who have tremendous passion for this project.

“We are grateful for this year’s Gala sponsors Absolute Production Services and Suburban Bank and Trust who are helping make it all

happen.”

Proceeds from the silent auction, live auction and wine and craft beer pull will benefit ECPA’s initiative.

The ECPA Spotlight Gala is Saturday, Nov. 3 from 7-11 p.m. at the Elmhurst Art Museum.

Wind Ensemble to perform Halloween Concert on Oct. 29 All urged to dress in costume; kids trick-or-treating follows Student members will don their costume, when the Elmhurst College Wind Ensemble performs its first-ever Halloween Concert on Monday, Oct. 29 beginning at 7 p.m. at Hammerschmidt Memorial Chapel on the campus of Elmhurst College. Admission is free.

The audience is encouraged to come in costume as well, and there will be a costume contest for the little ones. Trick-or-treating will follow the performance.

The concert will feature popular music associated with Halloween, including movie music from Nightmare Before Christmas, Ghostbusters and the Rocky Horror Picture Show, as well as Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Timeless classical masterpieces also will be featured including Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain, Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King, and the powerful Symphonie Fantastique by Hector Berlioz. The percussion section will be featured on Saint-Saens’ Fossils and the theme from The Munsters.

The fast-paced concert is only 45 minutes in length to keep children engaged, and a narrator will guide the audience through the music. Many of the pieces will be accompanied by a large-screen video to help tell the story behind the music.

“This concert is for the community, and also to give back by reaching out to others in this family-friendly environment,” said James Hile, director of bands. “It should be a great way to help bring people together.”

TREATING A GUMMY SMILE

When individuals’ smiles reveal too much gum tissue above the top front they T. are Boland said to have byteeth, Jeffrey a Licensed “gummy Orthodontic smile,” orSpecialist “excessive gingival display.” While there have been studies conducted to determine exactly what defines a gummy smile, it is largely a subjective matter.

Research reveals that, in most cases, smiles are rated as attractive when two millimeters or less of gum tissue is exposed. However, at around three millimeters or more, the smile was deemed to be gummy. It is safe to say, therefore, that people know a gummy smile when they see it. When a gummy smile is caused by teeth that appear too short because they have erupted improperly, orthodontic treatment can help remedy the situation.

The treatment of gummy smiles depends on the severity of the problem.

Mild to moderate gummy smiles can often be treated with braces. Our office places braces on the teeth, which apply an upward force to the upper incisors.

This force causes the teeth and gums to move upward together. To schedule a consultation, please call our office.

Available by appointment, we honor all kinds of insurance and charge zero interest on our financing. Straighter Smiles Are Our Specialty!

P.S. Gummy smiles are more common among women than men.

High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Thyroid Disease, Stroke, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, High Cholesterol: These are just some of the conditions that can first present themselves in the eye before anywhere else in the body. For instance, High Blood Pressure can alter how the arteries and veins cross each other. Diabetes can present itself a couple of ways; fluctuating vision, and/or small blood spots in the back of the eye.

Thyroid Disease and Multiple Sclerosis can cause changes in the Optic Nerve, and Rheumatoid Arthritis can cause an inflammation of the iris.

During our exam we have technology that helps us diagnose, photograph (document), and monitor these conditions with better efficiency and accuracy. Elevated cholesterol can present itself as a white ring on the periphery of the cornea, or plaques in the back of your eye. Especially for those over 40, even though you think you see well, there may be underlying conditions that you are not aware of that can be seen during an eye examination. That is why we stress yearly exams.

Since the time of the last photo, Geri was back in touch with the Independent to say she has picked a total of 259 as of Wednesday, Oct. 10. “I cut down the monster yesterday and harvested 170 more green ones,” she said. “This plant yielded around 429 tomatoes and allowed at least 30 for the critters during the summer.” The plant was purchased at the Jewel for $1.49 -- a real bargain! Asked many times what the variety was, Geri revealed it was a Celebrity tomato.

Holy TOMATO, that’s a big plant!

Symphony’s next concert will be Nov. 11 The second concert of the Elmhurst Symphony’s 58th season takes place on Sunday, Nov. 11 at 3 p.m., when guests will enjoy an afternoon of music of beloved composers with French connections: Chopin, Saint-Saëns, and Bizet. Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor features the talents of Adam Neiman, an ESO audience favorite.

Acclaimed organist Michael Surratt shines in Saint-Saëns’ Symphony No. 3 (Organ Symphony), and the ESO rounds out the program with the well-loved Carmen Suite No. 1 by Bizet. C’est magnifique!

In honor of Veterans’ Day, the orchestra will perform a salute to the U. S. Armed Forces. Veterans and active duty members of the military are invited to come in uniform.

Tickets for all current, retired and former military personnel will be offered at halfprice.

Guests are invited to continue the French theme by joining the ESO for dinner at Mon Ami Gabi in Oak Brook following the concert. The menu includes a choice of three entrees, soup du jour or salad, and a dessert trio. Tickets are $60 per person and can be purchased at elmhurstsymphony.org.

This concert is underwritten in part by generous gifts from Jane and the late Richard Kiep (Saint-Saëns), Raita Vilnins (Adam Neiman), and Hadley Pihi (in honor of Michael Surratt.) It is dedicated to the memory of long-time Elmhurst Michael Symphony volunteer and Surratt friend Richard Kiep.

Local siblings, Stemples support ‘Pedal Power’

Local brother and sister team Lauren and Grant Schleiter are running a charity bike collection event called “Pedal Power” on Saturday, Oct. 27 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at Stemples Cycle Center at 494 Spring Road.

Started in 2008, Pedal Power involves the collection and distribution of outgrown, unused and gently-used bikes.

The bikes that are donated to “Pedal Power” are inspected and repaired as needed, then donated to students who attend Chicago Public Schools in lower income areas as a reward for earning good grades.

Over the past ten years, the project took place at several communities throughout Chicago, and Grant and Lauren Schleiter decided in 2017 they wanted to extend the effort to Elmhurst.

Grant, currently an eight grader at IC grade school and his sister, Lauren, a sophomore at Fenwick

High School, approached Stemples Cycle Center about serving as a collection point and the bike center happily agreed.

Stemples performs quick safety checks on all of the bikes dropped off and will fix minor repairs, if necessary. A grant through the Evanston Bike Club will supply helmets for all of the CPS students who make the honor roll and receive bikes.

“Divvy,” Chicago’s bike share program, is donating trucks and drivers to transport the bikes from the collection points to the CPS schools on the date of the event.

Over the past ten years, more than 3,000 bikes have been donated. In 2017, Lauren and Grant collected 154 bikes at the Elmhurst location and the group in total collected more than 500.

For more information on this charity bike collection, go to pedalpower.com.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month – the perfect time to give to blood and platelets at donation centers to support cancer patients and others.

Anna Gwinnup, a loving wife, mother and grandmother, was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in September 2017. Within weeks, it advanced to stage 2, forcing her to undergo a double mastectomy, chemotherapy and multiple surgeries, which required blood products.

Though she was a blood donor prior to her diagnosis, Gwinnup now has a new passion for the cause. “I want to raise awareness about the need for blood to treat cancer,” she said.

Cancer patients may need red blood cell or platelet transfusions during chemotherapy, surgery or treatment for complications.

Donors of all blood types are needed to help ensure a sufficient supply for patients this fall, especially after Hurricane Florence and subsequent flooding forced the cancellation of more than 6,000 blood and platelet donations last month.

Make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the free American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

As a thank-you, those who come to donate blood or platelets in October will automatically be entered to win one of five $500 gift cards redeemable at hundreds of merchants. Learn more at RedCrossBlood.org/ GoForGoal.

Slices of life

Me first! Some believe they deserve unearned things We all start out in life as selfcentered beings. It’s a necessity to survival. Problem is, in our current culture we too often fail to grow out of this sense of entitlement. If we want it we should have it. We believe the world owes us.

Not true.

But it happens all the time – this belief that the universe revolves around us. Thinking and considering and acting on our personal desires and feelings before considering the needs of others. It’s the culture in which we live. It’s the culture we’ve created.

It happens when every kid gets a participation medal. When every kid is told they are the fastest, brightest, smartest, most good looking and so on. When parents are more worried about self-esteem than the golden rule.

When everyone needs/wants/has the newest smartphone, the biggest flat screen TV, the latest greatest shiny new vehicle in the driveway with monthly payments that last through eternity.

We slide into the better parking place even though another car was clearly waiting for the same spot.

We take credit for success at work, even though it belongs to others.

We pull out the plastic to pay for whatever it is we want this week and justify our actions because “we deserve a treat.” The world owes us.

JILL PERTLER Contributor

Social media doesn’t help.

Experts say it contributes to the hyper-individualism and a view on life that is based on fantasy rather than reality. We’ve lost touch with reality, somewhat. Consider reality TV. It should be called fantasy TV because the real housewives of wherever are anything but real.

An article by the American Psychological Association defines entitlement as “pervasive and enduring feelings of deservingness for more goods, services or special treatment than others… with or without any dutifully earned right to those benefits.”

It is the belief that we have the right to something – fame, fortune, success or bling – even though we have not earned it.

It’s been labeled “The Narcissism Epidemic” by authors Jean M. Twenge and W. Keith Campbell.

They wrote a whole book on the subject. They attest our culture is spinning out of control because when people take what isn’t rightly theirs it leads to chaos and failure.

syndicated columnist, published Here’s evidence of the chaos our playwright, author and member of culture has created (these things the National Society of Newspaper actually exist): A picture book that explains plastic surgery to young children so they won’t be alarmed when their mommy’s face changes suddenly and drastically.

Fake paparazzi who will – for a fee – follow you around when you go out to create the illusion that you are famous.

A certain amount of entitlement is valuable in adults. The belief that we have the right to take care of ourselves and our family, the right to be respected by others and the right not to be hurt by them is important to psychological well-being.

But the feeling that we are entitled to go to the head of the line or to be given special treatment at all times is not only unhealthy, it is not a particularly productive way to behave in the world. We do better when we help each other, not hurt each other.

So what’s a person to do?

We are made up of our thoughts and our behaviors. Change those and we’ll change the world, or at least our little corner of the universe. It can happen one day, one person at a time.

And much like entitlement it all starts with me, me, me. Thought you’d appreciate the irony there.

In my opinion

Three goals a day can be life changing

Among the many wonderful thoughtful gifts lavished upon me by my prince on my recent birthday were various books and journals. I journal every morning and I also ponder creating my own. He knew I would appreciate them on varying levels – for my own use and/or for idea sparks.

One I now use every morning is a Daily 3 type (I do that for gratitudes, all captured in one place) on goals.

Usually that word does not resonate with me, but having three clear concrete intentions for the day, that you check off the next day, does float my boat.

The layout is concise and clear: the date and lines to write the three goals.

Any more than three priorities for a single day is too much. I am using the daily three model to instill some new habits.

Every day since I got the little book, one of my goals entered has been: “Check email and Facebook only twice a day.” This may not seem like a biggee to you, but for me to schedule these two activities is a game changer.

The other goal I have entered every day for two weeks now is to clean up my desk at the end of each day and close up shop. Again, perhaps you shrug and wonder what’s the big deal.

For me, to walk away from my desk

KELLY SIMMONS Columnist

and call it a day is huge.

Working from home is such a blessing, and yet it is always there.

Always another email to reply to, always the distraction to check and see how many people on Facebook thought my post was funny.

To become more mindful of my actions is the goal and the little book of the daily 3 is helping me. Back when I worked in an office, I tidied up my desk and turned my computer off before I left for home. I wasn’t on email and social media all time.

Giving myself those rules now feels glorious. It feels freeing.

It’s ironic in a way because part of what I do for people is give them structure. It’s time for a check-up and tune up for myself. And it’s happening with ease and grace.

Having the same goal is making me intentional every day. I know very soon I will be able to move to new goals because it will be my new habit

County receives CRS Rating from FEMA

to check email only twice a day and end my work day with a clean desk.

For now, I still need to give myself a check mark every day to keep me on that new path.

If you have something, large or small, that you want to start doing or stop doing, get a little notebook and write down the intention each morning. If you did it, check it off the next day. Do it again. And again. And again. For as long as it takes.

Smoking. I will smoke one less cigarette today. Check. Food. I will drink one extra glass of water today.

Check. Movement. I will stretch my body more. Check. Attitude. (Some days my third goal is smile more.)

Anything goes. Write it in small manageable actions. Something that you actually feel you can do for that day. One less of something, one more of something. Make it concrete. Don’t say “I will exercise.” Write: “I will stretch for 10 minutes.” Don’t say “I will eat healthy.” Say, “Just for today, I will not eat a donut.”

Make it work for you. Anything can happen! Watch those check marks pile up and new habits happen. Good luck!

Reduces premiums on flood insurance

For the first time, DuPage County earned a rating in the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Community Rating System (CRS) program that can save unincorporated residents up to 20 percent on their flood insurance.

The Community Rating System (CRS) program credits government agencies for efforts that go above and beyond standard flood protection for property owners. Following evaluation, a community receives a rating on a scale from 1 to 10, and a corresponding reduction in FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program premium is offered to the community’s residents.

DuPage County received a CRS rating of 6, meaning unincorporated residents in floodplains are eligible to receive up to a 20 percent discount on their flood insurance premiums.

DuPage County officially became enrolled in the program Oct. 1.

“This is a tremendous victory for unincorporated DuPage County residents,” said County Board Chairman Dan Cronin. “We estimate having this CRS rating in place will save Kelly Epperson Simmons invites you 751 unincorporated residents nearly to join her weekly email newsletter at $100,000 annually.” www. Kellyepperson.com.

“

This is a tremendous victory for unincorporated DuPage County residents.”

–Dan Cronin, County Board Chairman

Zoning Division spearheaded the effort and received assistance from the Stormwater Management Department and the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.

“It’s incredibly difficult for a municipality to receive a CRS rating of 6 on its first attempt,” said Development Committee Chairman Sam Tornatore. “DuPage County has the third highest rating anywhere in the state of Illinois, and one of the highest ratings in the area.”

Unincorporated residents who pay flood insurance should contact their insurance provider about how to save money due to DuPage’s new CRS rating. For more information about Stormwater Management in DuPage visit www.dupageco.org/swm.

coughs, or sneezes. People can also get the flu by touching something, like a door handle, that has the virus on it and then touching their mouth, eyes, or nose.

On average, it’s about two days after being exposed to the flu before symptoms begin. However, you can pass the flu to someone roughly a day before you start experiencing those symptoms, and up to five to seven days after becoming sick.

In addition to getting a flu shot, IDPH recommends following the 3 C’s: clean, cover, and contain.

• Clean – frequently wash your hands with soap and warm water.

• Cover – cover your cough and sneeze.

• Contain – contain your germs by staying home if you are sick.

Influenza antiviral drugs can be a second line of defense for treatment of some who get sick with the flu.

Many observational studies have found that in addition to lessening the duration and severity of symptoms, antiviral drugs can prevent flu complications. Because it is important to start antiviral medication quickly, high-risk patients should contact a health care professional at the first signs of influenza symptoms, which include sudden onset of fever, aches, chills, and tiredness.

To find a location to get a flu shot in your community, check with your health care provider or local health department. You can also use https:// vaccinefinder.org.

Flu activity peaks between December and February, but activity can last as late as May. Flu is a contagious respiratory illness that can cause mild to severe illness. Serious cases of flu can result in hospitalization or death.

Getting an annual flu vaccine is the first and best way to protect yourself and your family from the flu. It can reduce flu illnesses, doctor visits and missed work and school due to flu, as well as prevent flu-related hospitalizations.

The more people who get vaccinated, the more people will be protected from flu, especially those who may not be able to be vaccinated, such as babies younger than 6 months. Anyone can get the flu, even healthy people. Getting vaccinated is the first and most important step in protecting you and those around you against flu viruses.

Flu symptoms can include fever or feverish/chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headache, tiredness, and some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.

Flu is typically spread by droplets when someone with the flu talks,

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has received recent reports from health care providers of nine sporadic, clinically diagnosed cases of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM). The IDPH is working with the health care providers to collect necessary information to send to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The CDC reviews medical information on all reported clinical cases to confirm the diagnosis. The case reports are from individuals younger than 18 years of age and from northern Illinois. Specific location information is not available. The CDC will make the final determination on diagnoses and numbers are subject to change.

In September, IDPH issued an alert to health care providers about AFM, including information about reporting this clinical syndrome and submitting specimens. Illinois has monitored this syndrome since 2014 when it was first described by the CDC. Since 2015, four cases reviewed by CDC experts have been counted in Illinois. IDPH continues to work closely with the CDC to monitor reports of AFM. AFM is a serious, but uncommon condition. It affects a person’s nervous system, specifically the spinal cord. AFM or neurologic conditions like it, have a variety of causes, in-

cluding viruses, environmental toxins and genetic disorders. The viruses can include: • Enteroviruses (polio and non-polio) • West Nile virus and viruses in the same family • Adenoviruses Much is still unknown about AFM and often, a cause for AFM cannot be identified. Symptoms can include: •Sudden onset of limb weakness and loss of muscle tone and reflexes • Facial droop/weakness • Difficulty moving the eyes • Drooping eyelids •Difficulty with swallowing or slur red speech If you or your child develops any of these symptoms, you should seek medical care right away. There is no specific treatment for AFM, but a doctor who specializes in treating brain and spinal cord illnesses may recommend certain interventions on a case-by-case basis.

Although medical professionals are still learning about AFM and its causes, being up to date on all recommended vaccinations, including poliovirus, is one way to protect yourself and your family from diseases that can cause AFM. You can also protect yourself from mosquito-borne viruses such as West Nile virus—another known cause of AFM.

Legislation proposed to strengthen ‘Failure to Appear’ penalties

Last week, DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin joined State Senator Michael Connelly (R-Naperville) in supporting proposed legislative changes to strengthen Failure-to-Appear (FTA) laws. Noting the significant increase in the number of people not showing up to court, Connelly and Berlin said their proposal is an effort to ensure individuals who are out on bond are appearing in court when ordered.

The proposed changes include: 1. Individuals who are out

on bond but fail to appear in court would be charged with an offense of the same Class (instead of the next lower Class) of the crime he or she is charged with originally.

2.

Failure-to-Appear offenses are non-probationary for felony violations.

The DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office said they noticed an increase in FTA violations since the Bail Reform Act became effective in January 2018. The Act allows individuals arrested for minor crimes to

get a rehearing of their bail amount if they can’t afford to post cash bail.

Other options are also available for those in custody for nonviolent or low-level offenses, such as electronic home monitoring, curfews and drug counseling.

“For our system of justice to function properly, those who commit crimes must be held responsible,” Berlin said. “Since the Bail Reform Act of 2017 became effective, we are seeing a substantial increase in defendants who find themselves fortu-

nate enough to be afforded an I-Bond or low cash bond deciding that it is in their best interest to ignore the courts and simply not appear in court as previously ordered. This is unacceptable. Court orders are not optional. The legislative changes proposed will not only encourage defendants to appear in court when ordered but will also help ensure that those individuals who do skip out on their bond will face significant additional penalties.”

According to data from the DuP-

Bond set for Lombard man charged with 7th DUI

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin and Lombard Chief of Police Roy Newton announced last week that bond has been set for a Lombard man accused of his seventh DUI offense.

Steven Tresnak, 55, of 320 S. Westmore Road, appeared at a bond hearing before Judge Jeffrey MacKay set bond at $200,000 with 10% to apply.

Tresnak has been charged with one count of Aggravated DUI, a Class X Felony, punishable by a sentence of between six to thirty years in the Illinois Department of Corrections, and one count of Driving While License Revoked, a Class 4 Felony.

On October 9, 2018, at approximately 6:48 p.m., Lombard police officers responded to a crash near Westmore-Meyers Road and St. Charles Road. Upon their arrival, officers allegedly found Tresnak in the passenger seat of his vehicle located at a nearby Burger King. An investigation into the crash revealed that Tresnak allegedly struck two vehicles and then continued driving to LEGAL NOTICE the Burger King.

The DuPage County Health Department (DCHD) and DuPage County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) has received a U.S. Department of Justice two-year grant of $471,000 to support the Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program (JMHCP).

The BHC will divert individuals with mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse from the criminal justice system, and provide re-entry supports for incarcerated individuals to reduce re-offending.

“This funding will allow the Behavioral Health Collaborative to move forward with countywide partnerships that will offer residents a sustainable community resource tools to bridge issues between mental health, substance use and criminal justice systems,” said Karen Ayala, Health Department Executive Director.

DuPage County Jail statistics from 2017 show 1,048 inmates self-reported having mental health issues, and more than 14,500 mental health visits by a psychiatrist, psychologist or mental health specialist.

York boys cross country team performs well at Peoria Central meet Kern finishes third; Klysh seventh

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

After a tough showing at the always competitive Palatine invitational, the York boys cross-country team got after it in a big way, finishing third at the recent Peoria Central invitational held at Detweiller Park, the site of the state meet.

York took third with 128 points in the 35-team event. Downers Grove South won with 109 points and Lyons Township was second, six points ahead of York at 122.

“The team scores reflect the team’s improvement,” York coach Charlie Kern wrote to the program’s alumni in his usual update. “After Palatine, one ranking website felt we were not a top-25 team and left us off the rankings. We have taken note of this and have used the lack of respect for our team in a positive way. We have continued to train at a high level and believe in ourselves when no one else would.”

Kern noted his squad began work for this race the previous Monday with the top eight runners running a 2,400 and a pair of 1,600s with the 2,400 to be run at state-meet goal pace.

“The boys got after it right away and ran beautifully and stayed together,” he said.

At the mile mark, Ethan Kern was at 4:39, while Daniel Klysh was at 4:40 and sophomore Colin Hill at

4:45. Junior Michael Moriarty was at 4:51, sophomore Sam Ayers at 4:57 and sophomores Thomas Braun and Michael Vreeland at 5:04 each.

At the 2-mile mark, Kern was in fourth place at 9:30, while Klysh was 11th at 9:41. Hill was 21st at 9:51, while Moriarty was 59th at 10:13 and Ayers was 60th at 10:14.

Kern was in third place with 800 meters to go, while Klysh was in 11th and within striking distance of sixth place. Hill was in 21st place. Moriarty and Ayers continued to maintain their place from the two-mile mark, Charlie Kern noted.

Kern finished third in 14:25, while Klysh took seventh in 14:38. Hill was 19th in 14:54, while Moriarty was 46th in 15:22. Ayers took 51st in 15:25. Braun finished 58th in 15:32, while Vreeland was 106th in 15:59.

“As the boys made their way past 300 to go, it was obvious they were going to run fast times,” said Kern.

“We ran a phenomenal team race and the sophomores proved they are for real. I am so happy with the development of the team. There is a tremendous amount of excitement surrounding the team. They have worked hard and are enjoying the benefits, which in turn causes them to work harder. We are moving in the right direction.”

York also competed in the Loyola Lakefront race, which Kern noted was added to the schedule to give the majority of runners a chance to compete one final time before conference. The race is held at Montrose Harbor and the runners are able to go

up Cricket Hill one or two times.

In the frosh-soph race, York scored a perfect 15 to win it. Eric Rutherford was the individual champion in 13:57 over the 4K layout (5:38 mile pace). Jackson Geiger ran 14:05, while Garett Schwan was at 14:10.

David Rosario ran 14:14 and Lukas Hund rounded out the race’s first five finishers with a time of 14:22.

“The freshmen and sophomores have experienced a great deal of success this year and this group was determined to show their dominance even without our top four sophomores,” said Kern. “Well, dominate they did.”

At the JV level, junior Brennan Wall won the 4K race in 14:23 (5:48 pace). Danny Chrisman took third.

Freshman Emmett Doyle was sixth in 14:56, while junior Conor Laughlin was 11th in 15:11 and Camden Hildy took 12th in 15:12. York won the JV team title.

York did not run its top seven in the varsity race. “Without our top seven the team was given an awesome opportunity to step up and make a contribution,” said Kern.

Junior Brian Pratt was York’s first runner through the chute in fifth place, only 10 seconds back of individual champion Spencer Dzyacky from Loyola (16:24). Junior Johnny Brennan finished 12th in 16:55.

“Johnny has been dealing with various injuries this season and ran a fine race,” said Kern.

Junior Will Yasdick was 16th, while junior Sam Rodgers was 23rd and junior Tim O’Leary was 29th for the Dukes who took second at the varsity level with 85 points.

Previously at Palatine, York’s varsity took 11th place. Ethan Kern was second in 14:52, 1:32 faster than his 2017 time there. Klysh finished seventh in 15:05, 61 seconds faster than a year ago. Moriarty was 81st

and ran 1:24 faster than 2017. Brian Pratt was 97th and 22 seconds faster.

Brennan was 119th and did not compete in 2017.

“While there was improvement from the previous year, expectations for this year were not met,” said Kern in his remarks. “This race served as a wakeup call for our juniors and they have responded well since this race.”

York graduate Jack Driggs saw his Palatine course record broken

by Hersey’s Josh Methner, who ran 14:32.

York’s JV was led by junior Tim O’Leary’s 15th place finish in 16:25 out of 440 runners. Rodgers was 20th in 16:32, while Aidan Moran was 66th. Alex Birnbaum finished 76th in 17:11 and Luke Montgomery was 80th in 17:13. Other runners who improved times included Connor Saurbier (2:09 faster), Jack Fennell (2:08

York’s Sutter finishes tied for 13th at boys state golf Dukes’ Bartolone competes in girls state meet

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York boys golf team may have narrowly missed qualifying for the state meet, but the Dukes still were represented in Normal this past weekend.

Zach Sutter survived a five-man playoff that included two of his teammates to earn the last individual state-qualifying spot out of the Class 3A Mt. Prospect sectional.

Sutter shot a 77 to advance to the state finals where he ended up tying for 13th overall. Sutter won the playoff by birdying the first playoff hole.

“Zach is a good player who will do well at the state meet,” York coach Jim Borel said earlier last week.

Borel’s prognostication turned out to be true.

Sutter shot a 38 on the back nine during a weather-shortened first day at state in Normal and finished tied for 23rd at 2-over par. The first day was cancelled due to snow which made the greens un-puttable, Borel noted.

Sutter, a sophomore, came back on the final day and shot a 74 with identical 37s and tied for 13th in the

York sophomore Zach Sutter finished tied for 13th in the state at the recent Class 3A boys golf finals in Normal. Sutter is the fifth York boys golfer to medal at the state meet.

“Zach was 2-over par through nine holes in those terrible conditions,” said Borel of Sutter’s first-day efforts. “He played great all weekend.

He represented our golf team, our high school and our community with hard work, class and integrity and we are proud of his efforts. Zach is only a sophomore and with the talent we have coming back next year, we are looking forward to continuing our success for the next few years.”

Sutter is the fifth York boys golfer to medal at the state meet. He joins John Michael Ekblad (4th in 2001), Rick Carlson (5th in 1964), Jordan Less (9th in 2015) and Jeff Pozen (15th in 1989).

York narrowly missed qualifying for state as a team, finishing fourth at the Mt. Prospect sectional with a 309. New Trier scooped up the final state-qualifying spot with a 306.

“Three of the five boys in the playoff were York golfers,” noted York coach Jim Borel. “I was proud of all our players. Our sectional was tough and our kids played well and represented our school and community with hard work, integrity and class. It was a fun team that had a great year and has a lot to be proud of.”

Kern wins fifth flight; May third in championship flight

By Mike Miazga

CORRESPONDENT

The York girls cross-country team took second at the recent Wheaton North Classic. Emma Kern won the fifth flight race, while Sarah May took third in the championship flight.

The Dukes also had success at the lower levels where Maya Curry won the JV individual title and Katelyn Leonard won the frosh-soph individual crown.

York was ninth at the Palatine invitational, while the Dukes’ JV took second and the frosh-soph team was

third.

“We are practicing well and have a positive momentum coming off a successful Wheaton North Classic meet,” said York coach Lauren DeAngelis earlier last week. “The frosh-soph and JV open races were not scored, but both levels would have walked away with the win along with a second-place varsity finish. It was a great last meet leading up to the conference meet for the entire team. We are very deep with a lot of talent.”

DeAngelis said the team still must “pack up” and must work on its 2-5 split on the varsity level behind May. Freshman Katelyn Winton has been York’s fourth runner on the var-

sity on a consistent basis, DeAngelis noted. Kathleen Buhrfiend, Erin Powers and Leonard also are freshmen who have broken into the top seven “and are making a huge impact,” said DeAngelis.

Heading into the home stretch of the season, DeAngelis said the Dukes must continue to improve that pack running. “To be successful we must run as a pack with our second through fifth runners and the pack must be closer to Sarah May to challenge other teams,” she said. “We have a lot of new faces and in practice the girls have been running very strong with a positive mindset.”

York runs in a Class 3A regional Saturday.
