Dental filling at 4:00 and big game at 5:00?

No Problem!

Whether you’re missing one or all of your teeth, there’s now an exciting option that will help you smile with confidence again.

Thousands of people are flashing smiles that have been beautified by implants, a fabulous tooth replacement technique that can be performed right here in our office.

Dental implants are the closest cousin to natural teeth. They are permanent false teeth anchored right into your jawbone, just like your natural teeth. They’re more stable than dentures, and eating is done with ease and comfort. Many patients find implants give them a more positive self-image and more confidence.

Implants can be used to stabilize dentures and bridges, replace just one tooth or to rebuild an entire jaw of missing teeth. The best part is that they look and feel just like natural teeth. Dental implants are reliable. Patients have retained them for more than twenty years with a better than 90% success rate.

From Our Family To Yours

Dental implant treatments does require a greater investment of time and money, but in the long run, it’s well worth it.

Illinois Senate honors retired Sen. Kirk Dillard SPRINGFIELD — Senate lawmakers welcomed Kirk Dillard of Hinsdale back to the Capitol May 11, adopting Senate Resolution 1857 to honor his 20-year career as a State Senator.

Dillard was first elected to the Senate in 1995 and served until August 2014. He now works as Chairman of the Regional Transportation Authority, which oversees the nation’s second largest mass transit system with more than two million riders daily.

Senators from both sides of the aisle praised Dillard for his many accomplishments and community honors, and praised the collaboration he brought to the lawmaking process, and the respect with which he treated his colleagues.

Dillard was present in the Senate May 11 with his wife Stephanie and daughter Ava. Their daughter Emma was unable to attend.

As State Senator, Kirk Dillard was the sponsor of many landmark pieces of legislation, including a law banning sex offenders from practicing medicine in Illinois. Sen. Dillard also sponsored Illinois’ first campaign finance/ethics reforms in 25 years, and was the sponsor of the law to create the Illinois Internet Portal to disclose online every salary, contract, tax break, and tax deadbeat.

Kirk Dillard was the sponsor of the truth-in-sentencing law to ensure felons serve their full sentences, mandatory DNA testing of all felons, the “Safe to Learn” Act ensuring school safety, the reorganization of the public higher education system, the tough anti-gun crime law known as “15-20-Life,” and a Dillard law made it a felony to commit a drive-by shooting from a motor vehicle.

Senator Dillard authored the first statute outlawing date rape or designer drugs. A Dillard bill bolstered public access to Internet information about sexual predators and established and improved the Amber Alert Child Emergency Location system in Illinois. He also sponsored a law to give citizens access to more information about sex offenders.

Kirk Dillard cosponsored the comprehensive reform of Illinois’ capital punishment system, and has been a strong advocate for tort reform and medical malpractice insurance reform to ensure access to health care in Illinois, especially for cases involving women, children and in emergency situ-

ations.

Dillard created thousands of jobs by shepherding the legislation to expand McCormick Place and Navy Pier. He also sponsored the law encouraging the Boeing Company to establish its headquarters in Chicago, as well as legislation to encourage Navistar to move its headquarters back to Lisle. A Dillard bill was responsible for returning the Pledge of Allegiance to Illinois high schools after a 30-year absence and successfully sponsored the Secretary of State’s railroad safety initiatives, which have dramatically reduced railroad-crossing deaths.

A graduate of Hinsdale Central High School, Kirk earned with honors a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Economics from Western Illinois University and a Juris Doctor degree from DePaul University College of Law. He is a partner with Locke Lord, one of Chicago’s largest law firms.

Road to Relay for Life

Cancer survivors, caregivers invited to Mary Steffens tent at Relay ELMHURST — Enid Baxter, Karen King and Elaine Zielinski have a lot more in common than just living in Elmhurst.

All three ladies have survived breast cancer, and all three have benefited from the legacy of one Mary K. Steffens.

Mary Steffens passed away in 2008 from breast cancer after a courageous eight-year battle.

Since then family and friends have kept her spirit alive by sponsoring the Mary Steffens Survivor/Caregiver Tent at Relay for Life/Elmhurst.

The annual community event kicks off Friday, June 10 at 6 p.m. at Berens Park. More than 25 teams will walk around the clock – until 6 a.m. Saturday morning -- to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

Enid Baxter was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997. For years she enjoyed

remission before it returned in 2012. She says she has always relied on the many friends she’s made through Relay to help her along the way.

“My daughter and I were involved with Relay for years,” she said. ”We loved going to the tent to visit with other survivors.”

Retired teacher Karen King and her daughter also enjoy attending Relay because of the camaraderie found among the survivors.

“We have a delightful time at Relay,” King said. “We go to the Survivor Tent and have the place all to ourselves. They give us a t-shirt and a coloredribbon pin especially made for us based on the type of cancer we had. We get to eat wonderful food and meet up with fellow survivors.”

Last year King walked the

Former Mayor Ray Fick dies at 87 Considered the man behind the underpass

By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — Early Tuesday morning, the Independent learned that former Mayor Ray Fick had passed away on April 25, 2016, in the home he shared with his wife Mary Ann in Naples, Florida.

In addition to his wife, Fick is RAY FICK survived by a son Doug who lives in a suburb of Milwaukee with his wife and two children. The Fick’s other son Neil predeceased Ray, passing away from lung cancer in 1985 at the age of 24.

One of the Ficks’ claims to fame was living in the McCormick house, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, which is now the home of the Elmhurst Art Museum. After the Ficks called it home for almost 30 years, the building located at 299 Prospect was sold to the Museum. House movers came, hoisted it up and moved it to its current site in Wilder Park next to the Elmhurst Public Library.

Fick served as mayor of Elmhurst from 1973-77 and dur-

ing that time, he oversaw the construction of the Robert T. Palmer Drive underpass. Many feel completing that massive project was his greatest accomplishment while in office.

Also during Fick’s tenure, the Bicentennial Fountain was built on Spring Road at Wild Meadows Trace. Along with the leaders of other communities, Fick was instrumental in the development of DuPage Public Safety Communications.

After serving as mayor, Fick accepted an appointment to the Elmhurst Park Board in 1981. He remained as a Park Commissioner until 1989. At that time, the Park Board was working on changing the tennis courts facility on West Avenue into Courts Plus as it is known today. Fick served two terms as Board president.

Beyond the City and the Park District, Fick didn’t hesitate to get involved in numerous local community endeavors. He was a director on the Ray Graham Association Board, chaired the Board of Trustees at Elmhurst Presbyterian Church, and was active in the Elmhurst Jaycees.

Fick was also a part of bringing Lake Michigan water to the suburbs, forming the DuPage County Water Commission. He was also a founder of the College of DuPage.

Services were held in Florida.

survivor lap to start the festivities, and when she turned around, there were several of her first grade students, now in high school, walking with her.

“I couldn’t believe these young kids had grown so much and how much they give to others,” she says.”

Elaine Zielinski, Mary’s friend and a 12-year breast cancer survivor herself, lives close to Berens Park and looks forward to grabbing a bite to eat in the Survivor/Caregiver Tent and catching up with friends.

“Mary’s family and friends have done a great job keeping her legacy going,” she said.

“It was a delightful day when some young ladies delivered daffodils to my door. So nice that they give their time to do

that.”

Daffodil Days, another program of the Mary K. Steffens (MKS) Foundation, recognizes cancer survivors in Elmhurst with a bouquet of daffodils and a note to stay healthy. The Foundation also provides college scholarships to local high school seniors. Since its inception in 2009, the MKS Foundation has awarded 21 scholarships totaling roughly $55,000.

“Our mission is to continue Mary’s legacy of volunteerism, love for young people, service to others and community, and fighting cancer,” said Rick Steffens, Mary’s husband. “Mary was a devoted wife, mother, sister, friend and tireless advocate for cancer research.”

Everyone is invited to join in

the fight against cancer through Relay for Life/Elmhurst. There will be live music, food and craft vendors, a Family Tent open from 5 to 9 p.m., followed by the Luminaria Ceremony.

The event is free to attend.

All proceeds benefit cancer research as well as programs and services provided free of charge to cancer patients, including many in Elmhurst and surrounding towns.

If you or someone you know has survived cancer, they may contact the MKS Foundation via Facebook at bit.ly/MaryKSteffens to learn more about the Survivor/Caregiver experience. For more information on forming a Relay team, visit www.RelayForLife.org or call 1-800-227-2345.

Need is not partisan, notes Salvation Army Commander The state of affairs across Illinois is dire - especially for those who are hungry, homeless, struggling with substance abuse or need affordable child care.

On May 11, The Salvation Army sent a delegation of officers and staff from across the state to meet with state legislators and Governor Bruce Rauner to raise awareness about how the eleven month-long budget stalemate has increased human needs, negatively impacted those whom we serve and stretched our resources nearly to a challenging point. We also went to Springfield to voice our support for a resolution to end this impasse.

Our mission is to meet human needs without discrimination.

The greatest limitation to our capacity to serve is the resourc-

es available for us to do so.

Partisan ideologies should not have a negative impact on those who need help the most. The General Assembly has acted and now the Governor must do the same, as the current lack of state reimbursement dollars will not allow us to sustain these services at our present levels for much longer. While Senate Bill 2038, the recent emergency payment legislation, may meet a fraction of those needs on a temporary basis, other critical services will continue to go unfunded. People in desperate need cannot wait, but we hope the state legislature and Governor will proactively continue to address the need for a sound, balanced budget.

This hope for a larger agreement must also be coupled with the reality that it may not hap-

pen soon enough. While we wait, vulnerable people in need continue to pay a heavy price.

The Salvation Army is the largest provider of social services worldwide and one of the largest in Illinois. We have relied on our emergency reserves so far to meet the ever increasing needs and absence of state funding, but we are not able to do this on a continual basis.

We are not alone in this struggle. Many other nonprofits have already resorted to cutting staff, reducing or eliminating programs, even closing their doors.

The people they used to serve are now joining the lines for our food trucks, visiting our pantries, and seeking our help with substance abuse treatment. Not only are more people than ever before seeking our help, their needs are more complex and

acute, including many who are suffering from mental illness.

The Salvation Army has also tightened its belt with reducing cost of operations while also raising a record amount from generous friends and supporters. Unfortunately, this is still not enough to compensate for the drastic delays in reimbursement.

Faith-based organizations like The Salvation Army play a critical role in the safety net for everyone in need across Illinois. We are also responsible stewards of the private donations entrusted to us to “Do The Most Good.” However, government also has an obligation to do its part and be a responsible steward of the people, as the gap between the available private donations and the cost of providing services continues to

Nybo opposes latest school funding bill Could cost DuPage County $43.7 million

SPRINGFIELD — Nineteen suburban school districts could lose more than $43.7 million in state aid every year under the latest Chicago Public School bailout plan pending in the House of Representatives.

“This short-sighted proposal would devastate our local schools – among our strongest community assets – for the sole purpose of helping bail out Chicago from the bad decisions of the past,” said State Sen. Chris Nybo SEN. CHRIS (R-Elmhurst). “Reducing state aid for NYBO our local schools could force drastic program cuts or huge property tax hikes.”

Senate Bill 231 is a major step backward in the

effort to reform the state’s current school funding formula, as it would strip suburban districts of most of their state support and redirect nearly $175 million to Chicago Public Schools.

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle agree the current school funding formula needs to be fixed, but Senate Bill 231 is not the answer, Nybo said.

Legislators must continue working to develop a new formula but, in the meantime, they should offer school districts certainty by immediately passing a K-12 budget that fully funds General State Aid for the first time in seven years, as suggested by Gov. Bruce Rauner. ​Approved by a 31-21-3 vote on May 10, Senate Bill 231 is awaiting action in the House Executive Committee.

State Senator Chris Nybo District 24, State of Illinois

Following is a chart showing the effect the funding legislation will have the school districts in the 24th Senate District within the readership area of The Independent: FY15 Disbursements Total Primary State Aid (After Losses Cap) Elmhurst School District 205 $6,027,032 $1,372,058 Salt Creek School District 48 $ 462,003 $ 93,691 Villa Park School District 45 $5,106,333 $1,940,008 TOTAL (all 19 Districts)

widen.

We beseech Governor Rauner and the General Assembly to work together in good conscience and faith, to act now on this emergency legislation and move forward, in order to pass a sound and balanced budget that restores funding for human services and helps to stabilize those most in need. Because need is not partisan. No matter what your faith or political affiliation, we have a moral obligation as human beings to help the least fortunate in our society. To alleviate the suffering of our fellow man wherever, and whenever, we can.

Let us show those without, a pathway of hope.

Police plan ‘Click It or Ticket,’ drunk driving crackdown ELMHURST — The Elmhurst Police Department continues to take part in a year-long grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes through additional enforcement of DUI and seatbelt laws.

The 2016 Illinois “Click it or Ticket” safety belt enforcement campaign kicked off May 15 and will continue through the Memorial Day holiday weekend. In addition to the extra seatbelt enforcement, Elmhurst Police will also be on the lookout for impaired drivers. The majority of extra enforcement will take place between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m., which is the deadliest period of time on Illinois roadways.

Motorists are encouraged to drive safely and buckle up. Anyone who plans to be drinking during Memorial Day activities should make alternate driving arrangements. Residents are also encouraged to contact police if they see a vehicle that appears to be driven by an intoxicated driver.

The Memorial Day Click It or Ticket and Drunk Driving Crackdown is funded by federal traffic safety funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and administered through IDOT’s Division of Transportation Safety.

Subsequent to the traffic stop, police said Wright admitted to selling drugs. Officers made contact with Olivo

who, according to police, admitted being in possession of a substance he believed to be cocaine. Police said Olivo was searched and yielded a clearcut straw with a white powdery residue.

controlled substance.

To Your Health Through

CHIROPRACTIC

Enhancing the health of your family

by Dr. Noelle O’Connor

GARDEN VARIETY EXERCISE There’s no question that gardening is a calming and fulfilling endeavor that cultivates a connection to the cycle of life and heightens spirituality. It’s also a potentially rigorous form of exercise that poses as much of a threat of injury as working out in a gym or running on the street. As you put on your gardening gloves and reach for the rake or shovel, bear in mind that bending over, kneeling down, pushing, pulling, lifting, and hauling can all lead to muscle strains, ligament sprains, and tendonitis. Performing repetitive motions while gardening can give rise to a host of mechanical problems within the body. Chiropractic treatment can help gardeners in the same way that it proves beneficial to athletes.

Is gardening one of the hobbies

you pursue? At YORK CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC, we are ready to work with you to alleviate your discomfort and restore you to better health as quickly as possible. We will go to extraordinary lengths to educate our communities about the benefits of chiropractic in restoring and maintaining the health of every man, woman, and child, safely and without harm. We welcome you to call 630.834.8536 to schedule an appointment. We’re located at 486 Spring Road. “Enhancing the health of your family.”

P.S. Gardeners should perform stretching and warm-up exercises before working in the garden as a means of averting injury.

Churchville Middle School students, teachers participate in TECH 2016

ELMHURST — Churchville Middle School was invited to participate in the 25th Annual TECH 2016 Students for the Information Age event, held on May 10 the Illinois State Capitol Building in Springfield.

More than 100 schools were represented from throughout the state of Illinois.

Churchville eighth-graders Jacquelin Cyriac and Filip Zachwieja,

along with English and social studies teacher Barbara Ahlgrim and instructional technology coach Ben Hartman presented Real Time Formative Feedback, sharing how teachers are integrating technology into instruction to provide almost instant feedback to students to assist them in revising and enhancing their work.

This communication loop shortens the time between students submitting

work and receiving peer or teacher feedback.

At the event, students demonstrated for the public and elected members of the Illinois State Senate and House of Representatives how technology is being used in the classroom to increase student engagement and improve achievement. Student demonstrations were viewed in the Capitol Building Rotunda.

The purpose of TECH 2016 was to raise awareness of the critical role technology plays in preparing students to succeed in today’s world, and to show the need for increased funding for classroom technology. Students demonstrated the creative ways technology is being used to enhance and accelerate student achievement in Illinois schools today.

Teacher brings Google Goggles to Hawthorne Bryan Hobbs shares virtual reality adventures via app Submitted By Shawn Olins Hawthorne PTA Publicity Chair

On May 10, Hawthorne grades 2-5 tried out Google’s virtual reality field trip app -- Google Expeditions.

Fifth grade teacher Bryan Hobbs learned at an Illinois Computing Educators conference earlier this year that Google was piloting the app in classrooms, and he signed up for a free demonstration.

The Google team arrived at Hawthorne with virtual reality goggles -cardboard fold-out viewers equipped with smartphones connected to a tablet for the teacher. Each teacher chose a virtual adventure to narrate and sent their students on a field trip of a lifetime.

Students put on the goggles and were transported to amazing locations around the universe. They traveled to Antarctica and watched leopard seals swim near the edges of glaciers where penguins congregated. They journeyed to the Galapagos Islands, where they swam underwater with sea lions, stingrays, and sea turtles, and explored coral reefs.

“I loved seeing the stingrays up

close,” said Grace Jyotishi (2nd grade).

The students’ hearts raced as they flew over erupting volcanoes and ventured into diving cages to see sharks face-to-face.

“The sharks tried to get in!” said Cailey Dotson (5th).

“It was awesome,” said Vinnie Carbone (3rd) and Colby Baird (2nd).

The excitement continued as students went on an African safari and roamed the savannas alongside elephants and zebras. In addition to seeing a breathtaking array of wildlife, they traveled to historical wonders like Machu Picchu and the Mayan Ruins. Students turned their heads in every direction to see the whole 360-degree view. “It literally felt like you were there,” said fifth grader, Katya Janos.

The virtual reality trips also dovetailed with classroom studies. Fifth graders reading about Mount Everest and K2 in Language Arts effortlessly scaled Mount Everest. Third graders learning about Ellis Island in Social Studies eagerly saw the Statue of Liberty and toured the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. Students loved how their curriculum came alive.

“I saw their suitcases at the immigration station,” said Alexa Janos (3rd). “I saw where they slept if they had to stay there. It felt like I was actually in it – like I could touch something.”

Third graders who recently went on a real-life field trip to the Adler Plan-

etarium went on a virtual trip into space to assemble the International Space Station, piece-by-piece. They also traversed Mars aboard a NASA rover. “I can’t believe all it took to visit Mars was a cardboard box. It was amazing,” said Saveen Shah (3rd).

“It was so cool. I loved learning this way!” said Danny Grant (3rd).

Students have been recalling interesting details from their virtual field trips like they were really there.

“It is a very cool thing,” said Hobbs, who also signed up Hawthorne to test the beta version of the app once it is released. Given the enthusiasm from the students, teachers will soon be saying: “Goggles up!”

Artist couple to showcase eclectic works in new exhibit ELMHURST — Husband-wife team Dave and Heather Pryor are collaborating in an exhibition of their collection of original and imaginative artwork in the Elmhurst Artists’ Guild Gallery at the Elmhurst Art Museum, 150 Cottage Hill Ave., Elmhurst, from May 22 through July 1 during regular Museum hours. Both are members of the Elmhurst Artists’ Guild.

An opening reception, free and open to the public, is scheduled in the gallery, on Friday, May 27, from 7 to 9 p.m.

Entitled “Red Wagon,” the exhibit is an eclectic assortment of stylized realism and graphic design, with a range in mediums including watercolor, acrylic, gouache, graphite, ink, digital and animation, according to the artists.

The show contains themes from many of Dave and Heather’s influences, including comics, movies, cartoons, children’s books, games, and many animals, including bears and dogs.

Dave is a professional artist, animator, and director with 24 years in the entertainment business. He has worked in television animation (Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Hysteria!) and in gaming, developing art for several of his favorite movie licenses including “The Wizard of Oz” and “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Fac-

tory.”

Since 2012, Dave has exhibited in several pop culture group shows in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. His most recent exhibits include “30 Years Later” (a tribute to movies released in 1986), “Bob’s Burgers” (celebrating 100 episodes of the Fox animated series), and “Idiot Box” (a tribute to classic television). Awards he has received include a regional student academy award, Emmy nomination as an animation director on Animaniacs, several gaming design patents, and numerous game honors from gaming publications and global gaming expos.

Heather Jones-Pryor was born and raised in the western suburbs. She met her husband Dave while attending Columbia College, studying film and animation. Since then, she has worked professionally on animated video and television series, post-production for television advertising, and until 2008, visual effects for feature films. Now, she is active in the Elmhurst Artists’ Guild, enjoys creating art in her home and working part-time at K&T Colors.

Heather and Dave reside in Elmhurst.

They say that they spend most of their time painting, animating, going to movies, and playing with their dogs.

ELMHURST — According to a release issued by the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry (ECCI), despite opposition from the United States Chamber of Commerce, National Federation of Independent Businesses and the ECCI, President Barack Obama last week approved the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) overtime regulation updates, effective December 1, 2016.

The DOL’s Final Rule focuses primarily on updating the salary and compensation needed for Executive, Administrative and Professional workers to be exempt from overtime pay.

According to the DOL, key provisions of the Final Rule are as follows: Sets the standard salary level at the 40th percentile of earnings of full-time salaried workers in the lowest-wage Census Region, currently the South ($913 per week; $47,476 annually for a full-year worker); Sets the total annual compensation requirement for highly compensated employees (HCE) subject to a minimal duties test to the annual equivalent of the 90th percentile of full-time salaried workers nationally ($134,004); and Establishes a mechanism for automatically updating the salary and compensation levels every three years to maintain the levels at the above percentiles and to ensure that they continue to provide useful and effective tests for exemption.

Additionally, the Final Rule amends the salary basis test to allow employ-

ers to use nondiscretionary bonuses and incentive payments (including commissions) to satisfy up to 10 percent of the new standard salary level.

Business organizations believe that the DOL’s Final Rule will adversely affect small businesses and not-for-profit organizations. Businesses are expected to shift some employees from salaried to downward-adjusted hourly pay to offset the additional time worked beyond 40 hours.

Edward Jones Financial Advisor announces Grand Opening

ELMHURST — Rita Borzym of the financial services firm Edward Jones invites the public to join her at a grand opening celebration. The event takes place on June 2 beginning at 2 p.m. at her office at 188 W. Industrial Dr., Suite 108.

HUD announces $630,000 settlement for Illinois housing discrimination Allegations say owners, managers mistreated applicants with disabilities

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced last week that it has reached a $630,000 agreement with a group of Illinois property owners and a management company resolving allegations

they violated the Fair Housing Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 by using rental screening policies that prevented applicants with mental disabilities from living in a supportive living complex the group owned.

Associates of RE/MAX 1st saluted for sales success in 2015 CHICAGO — Broker associates at RE/MAX 1st, 129 W. 1st St. in Elmhurst, recently received special recognition from the RE/ MAX Northern Illinois region for their sales achievements in 2015. RE/MAX salutes its brokers by awarding membership in honorary clubs, each recognizing an important level of success in annual sales production.

100% Club Those who earn membership in the 100% Club have reached an outstanding level of sales

productivity. Achieving this laudable level of success are Vickie Irwin, Muntie Leschewski, Kathleen Nettleton, Donna Raven, Bob Shiga and Melissa Somone-Graham.

Executive Club Executive Club recognizes those whose sales productivity is well above the industry norm.

Named to Executive Club membership for their 2015 achievements are Michael Ibarra, Edward Kress, Jr., and Robert Raven.

The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the sale or rental of a dwelling on the basis of disability. In addition, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.

The case came to HUD s attention after several individuals with mental disabilities filed complaints alleging they were denied residency at the property managed by Eden Management,

LLC, due to their disabilities.

The individuals filed their complaints with the assistance of HOPE Fair Housing Center, a HUD Fair Housing Initiatives Program agency in DuPage County. HOPE conducted three tests at Eden and also filed a complaint with the Department.

Under the terms of the Conciliation and Voluntary Compliance Agreement, Eden will pay Complainants $630,000, which includes relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. The agreement further requires Eden to make

significant policy changes, including revising its employee manual and handbook, its policies and training.

Eden will also provide a letter to its top three referral sources encouraging individuals to apply regardless of mental disability.

In FY 2015, disability was the most common basis of complaints filed with HUD and its partner agencies, being cited as a basis for 4,548 complaints, or nearly 55 percent of the overall total.

Bill passed to provide funding for human service providers SPRINGFIELD — Last week, bipartisan legislation passed the General Assembly and now awaits the governor’s signature.

Senate Bill 2038 appropriates approximately $720 million from state funds dedicated to human services-related services, including the Northeast DuPage Special Recreation Association, which provides a variety of recreational and social programs for people with disabilities. The bill prohibits state agencies from diverting funds from the intended use for internal or bureaucratic purposes except where specifically authorized. The bill will be sent to the governor for approval.

Smith fifth at state in triple jump

What a difference a year makes

IC Catholic Prep sophomore King ends track season at state meet

L

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ast year’s sectional track meet was a tough one for IC Catholic Prep sophomore Kiersten King.

“I was anxious and really nervous,” she said. “It was overwhelming. I wanted it really bad. I had a panic attack. I prayed and drank a lot of water.

I knew I had to run the 200. I knew I could make it down but I missed by a couple seconds. There really was nothing I could do about it at that point other than start preparing for this year.

It was really sad. I had to overcome my fears. I knew I was only a freshman and I knew I had more opportunities coming up.”

And prepare King did. The school record-holder finished her sophomore campaign at the state meet in Charleston where she competed in the 200 and was part of the Knight’s 400 relay team.

King also won the Metro Suburban Conference West Division 200 title this season.

“I’ve worked hard and my teammates have worked hard,” she said earlier last week. “It’s been a great year for me and for the team. I’m very excited about having the opportunity to go to state.

It’s a blessing. I knew I could do it this year.”

Heading into the state finals, King had broken the school 200 record three times, twice breaking her own recently established mark.

King said she breaks down the 200 race into three segments, the curve, the 100-meter point and the 50-meter point.

“You have to gain speed on the curve and then at the 100 you hit another point and the 50 is another one,” she said.

“You have to do all three if you want to win a race.”

King said hitting the curve is her favorite part of the race. “The curve gives me a huge boost,” she said. “It feels amazing when you run it.”

King also enjoyed running on the 400 relay team with teammates Kerry Mulligan, Katie Harvey and freshman Jaida Smith. “All of us on the relay push each other,” she said. “We knew we had a shot to get downstate. I don’t know if it was expected at the beginning of the year, but we all pushed ourselves and made it a goal to get into the 12-second range (each runner with their 100 meters) and we all got it. A lot of practice got us to where we needed to be.”

King is happy to be having success in a sport she truly enjoys.

“I’ve had an amazing year,” she said.

“I take track very seriously. It’s my favorite sport.”

Kiersten King (#276), an Immaculate Conception sophomore, heads to the finish line in the 400-meter relay at the Illinois High School Association Class 1A Prelims. King, who also ran the 200meter dash, did not advance to Saturday’s finals. The IHSA State Championships, all three classes, were held at Eastern Illinois University’s O’Brien Field in Charleston, Illinois.

Bosman, Hoekstra lead Timothy Christian girls track relays Trojans qualified for state in both 1,600 and 800 relays

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The Timothy Christian girls track team capped its season with a pair of relay teams competing in the recent Class 1A state meet in Charleston.

The commonality on the 1,600 and 800 relays was the presence of school sport standouts Olivia Hoekstra and Hannah Bosman.

Hoekstra and Bosman joined Rachel Stoll and Valerie Hoekstra on the 1,600 team, while Alyse Schnurr and Zoe Stanton rounded out the 800 team.

“What makes the relays special is the bond we all have together,” said Hoekstra earlier

last week. “We all want to do something special.”

Bosman added: “It’s nice that you go out there and try your hardest and know you can rely on your teammates because they are pushing themselves.

They want to do well for you at the same time.”

Bosman said handoff work in practice paid off for the team.

“Every day in practice we’ve been working on handoffs to get them down where we can take the most time off right now.”

Bosman, also a cross-country runner for Timothy, enjoyed the shorter aspect of the races.

“I like the sprints,” she said.

“It’s nice to be able to give it your all and still feel good. You get that adrenaline going.”

Hoekstra has enjoyed running with her sister on the 1,600 relay. “Being with my sister makes it special. She’s improved a lot,” she said.

}What makes the

relays special is the bond we all have together.”

— Olivia Hoekstra Bosman applauded the recent efforts of Schnurr in the 800 relay. “Alyse dropped like two seconds from her time at sectionals,” she said. “We needed her to step up and she did. I was really happy to see her do well.”

Bosman made a total of eight state finals appearances between cross country and track in her career (4 each year in each sport). Bosman also

ELMHURST — IC Catholic Prep freshman Jaida Smith made an immediate impact at the Class 1A girls state track and field finals at Eastern Illinois University.

Smith placed fifth in the state in the triple jump with a mark 36-3 1/2. That same mark in the preliminary round earned her a spot in the state finals.

Sophomore teammate Kiersten King was second in her preliminary heat of the 200 with a time of 26.17, but did not qualify for finals.

The Knights’ 400 relay team placed eighth in preliminaries with a time of 52.50. That team included Kerry Mulligan, Smith, Katie Harvey and King.

Timothy Christian girls track Timothy Christian had a pair of relays competing in the Class 1A state finals.

The Trojans’ 800 relay team logged a 1:49.49 time in preliminaries and did not advance to the finals. That group included Olivia Hoekstra, Zoe Stanton, Alyse Schnurr and Hannah Bosman.

The 1,600 relay team was fifth in prelims with a time of 4:19.37. That group included Olivia Hoekstra, Rachel Stoll.

Valerie Hoekstra and Bosman.

“I was very proud of both teams,” said Timothy Christian coach Kevin Hackert.

Hackert noted the 800 team cut off nearly 1 1/2 seconds from sectionals and ended up with a Top 20 state finish.

The 1,600 relay team also ran a personal record, cutting more than six seconds from its sectional time and earning a 16th place state finish.

“They are a great group of girls who should be proud of their accomplishments this season,” said Hackert.

“That was one of my goals freshman year—to make it downstate in both,” she said.

“I can say I did that. I’m really happy to be able to go Downstate again for a fourth year in a row. It’s a lot more fun because I’m able to do it with my teammates. We can run together and enjoy the experience together.”

Hoekstra was making her third state finals appearance in track. She also was part of the girls volleyball team at Timothy that made the state finals this school year. She also played basketball in the winter.

“This means a lot,” said Hoekstra. “Sectionals is what you always look forward to York girls track try to get down to state. This Freshman Sarah May was shows all the hard work has fourth in her preliminary heat paid off. And to get to make it of the 800 at the Class 3A in two events is exciting. Hopefully I can keep improving and See TRACK, Page 34 make it again next year.”

Timothy Christian sending three players to boys tennis state tournament Trojans win Metro Suburban Conference East Division crown; go 17-0 in duals

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — Timothy Christian’s supurb boys tennis season recently was punctuated by three players qualifying for the state finals tournament.

Timothy finished second at the Lyons Township sectional.

The Trojans had 20 points.

Lyons won the title with 35 points.

The Trojans qualified junior Nate Daniels and the doubles team of seniors Jared Rhiner and Jack Wells for this week’s

state tournament held at locations throughout the Northwest suburbs.

Daniels took second in the singles division at the sectional. He won his first match 6-0, 6-0 over Proviso West and then scored a 6-0, 6-0 win against York. Daniels notched a 6-3, 6-0 win in the semifinals against Lyons Township and then dropped a 6-0, 6-0 decision in the final against Lyons Township junior Jack Bernstein.

Rhiner and Wells won 6-1, 6-3 in their first match and then scored a 6-4, 7-5 win over York.

Rhiner and Wells then dropped decisions to Lyons Township’s Tanner Burke and Pat Caruso (eventual doubles sectional champions) and York in the third-place match.

Earlier, the Trojans won the

Metro Suburban Conference East Division tournament and the overall MSC East championship.

Timothy finished the tournament with 24 of a possible 25 points. Coupled with a 25-point total during the regular season, the Trojans won the overall title with 49 points (of a possible 50 points), eight better than Illiana Christian.

Daniels won the No. 1 singles title. He scored a 6-0, 6-0 win in the opener and then won 6-1, 6-0 over Walther Christian in the championship match.

Joel Daniels won the No. 2 singles crown. He was a 6-0, 6-1 winner in the semifinals and then recorded a 6-2, 6-4 win over Illiana Christian in the championship match.

Wells and Rhiner took second

at No. 1 doubles. They won 6-3, 6-1 in the semifinals and then lost 7-5, 6-4 in the finals to Illiana Christian.

Mitch Evenhouse and Ben Lodewyk won the No. 2 doubles title. They won 6-0, 6-0 in the semifinals and 6-1, 6-3 in the finals against Illiana Christian.

Nick Silvia and Aaron VanderLinde won the No. 3 doubles title. They won 6-0, 6-0 in the semifinals and 6-1, 3-6, 7-5 in the finals.

“All eight players were in the finals at conference and we were without one of our top doubles players (Trevor Hoogendorn), who was competing in the national mock trial finals,” said Timothy coach Keith Mills.

The Trojans finished the regular season with a perfect 17-0

overall record and went 5-0 in conference play.

Mills cited strong play in the tournament, in particular, from Nathan and Joel Daniels and VanderLinde. “Nate is playing well,” said Mills. “He only lost one game in two matches in the tournament. Aaron filled in at third doubles and played the best tennis of the year. Joel Daniels moved up from JV midseason and has been consistent ever since and won the No. 2 singles title.”

Through the conference tournament, Nathan Daniels was 20-1 overall. Evenhouse and Lodewyk were 22-1 together and at the time had lost twice together in the last two years.

Silvia was 15-1 playing doubles since starting the year at singles.

late last week York was 19-8 overall.

Dukes coach Ken Dowdy lauded the play of Jake Wendell at the Latin tournament. “Jake has been on fire lately offensively and was especially strong when we won the championship at the Lakefront Challenge.”

Dowdy also had high praise for the recent play of Jake Privett, Bobby Krissinger and AJ Weber.

“Jake has been a major spark defensively and Bobby continues to impress since we moved him to the right side,” said Dowdy. “AJ continues to

provide great serve-receive and serving stats, which helps our offense and allows us to take other teams out of system offensively.”

And it’s that overall-serve receive that also has bolstered the Dukes of late. “We have continued our success in servereceive, which has allowed our setters the ability to run a fasttempo offense,” said Dowdy.

Setting also has taken a leap forward this season. “Our setters are getting more consistent and I think that has a lot to do with winning 12 of our last 13 matches going into the playoffs,” the coach added. “It all starts with serve-receive and consistency in our setting, which has improved the past few weeks. When we can run our middle hitters effectively, it is hard to shut down our offense since we have such solid pin hitters. We still are working on eliminating extended servereceive breakdowns, but we’re starting to get a little more mentally tough so we can end those long service streaks our opponents previously had. Not surprisingly, our side-out percentage has increased as the season has progressed.”

Dowdy noted York was serving at around the 90% mark for the season. “Our serving has been as consistent as a coach can ask for with some very aggressive jump-floats led by team service-point leader Rio Diaz,” he said.

Defense also remains a strong suit for Dowdy’s squad. “Our defense has been stellar lately and a lot of that is due to Jake, AJ, Sam Jordan-Wood and Zach

Hughart,” he said. “Jake gets more touches on balls that I think are untouchable than maybe any player I’ve ever coached. He is never afraid to sacrifice his body. Sam has done a great job defensively in the libero role since he was moved up from the JV team a few weeks ago and Zach was outstanding filling in as libero at the Lakefront Challenge. We have the luxury of having so many good defensive specialists. It’s a good problem for a coach to have.”

Overall depth has allowed Dowdy to make lineup adjustments throughout the season.

“We have a deep team and for a variety of reasons have had a lot of reserves have to step into starting roles in matches,” he said. “They’ve done a great job executing when given those opportunities and we really haven’t missed a beat when we’ve had to juggle our lineup.”

York opened regional play earlier this week against Chicago Curie.

“This team has the potential to go far in the playoffs if we can continue our serve-receive efficiency and setting consistency,” said Dowdy. “It’s a great group of kids and if we can play to our highest potential in the postseason, we should be playing for a few weeks. I sure don’t want my time coaching our nine seniors to end soon. They are unbelievable student-athletes and ambassadors for our program. It’s that point in the year where I can sit back and let them play. And if they play to their ability, we are going to have a very successful end to the season.”

ELMHURST — The York boys doubles team of Lucas Gough and Jacob Wit is headed to the state tournament.

Gough and Wit placed third at the recent Lyons Township sectional to earn a state bid. Gough and Wit head to this week’s state finals tournament held at locations throughout the Northwest suburbs.

Gough, a senior, and Wit, a freshman, opened play with a 6-0, 6-1 win over Willowbrook and then defeated Timothy Christian by a 6-3, 6-3 count.

Gough and Wit lost to Lyons Town-

Tom Vogt and Jimmy Licata took fifth at No. 2 doubles. They won the fifth-place match 6-4, 6-3 against Lyons Township.

Josh Mirretti and Kevin Rachwalski took fifth at No. 4 doubles. They won the fifth-place match by a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 count against Downers Grove North.

Through the conference tournament, Taylor was leading the Dukes with 19 wins. Naples and Wheeler each had 18 wins. Mirretti had 17 victories, while Wit had 15 wins.

Birds provide backyard concerto every morning

T

he birds were going crazy with their twittering tweets, chirps, and trills. The cooing of a mourning dove underscored the drumming of a lone woodpecker. It seemed each feathered friend was trying to outdo the other with its own solo and the sounds reverberated in a rowdy, crescendo backyard symphony.

This spirited banter jostled the airwaves amply enough to wake me from a sound sleep. I looked at the clock.

It was 4:23 a.m. I know what they say about the early bird, but 4:23 a.m. is a little too wee for me. Even roosters know enough to wait until dawn to awaken the farm.

Still the fervor and celebratory chattering of the birds in my yard at 4 a.m., each morning is impressive – albeit not fully appreciated by most humans living in my house.

The birds are celebrating the weather and anticipating the sunrise and the business of preening their feathers, and splashing in the birdbath, and padding their nests, and laying and hatching their eggs, and hunting for worms, and feeding their babies, and giving flight lessons, and dive bombing the cats, and eagerly welcoming all the other everyday tasks at hand (or wing, as their case may

Jill Pertler SLICES OF LIFE

be).

They are embracing their essence in a giddy bird fashion and it’s infectious. I want to be like them!

I’m not saying I want to be a bird. I couldn’t be. I can’t fly. I don’t even have wings.

But the joy, the ultimate true joy they express at the normal elements in their lives (at 4 a.m.) is notable to the sleepiest of the sleepiest.

The tweeters in my common, ho-hum backyard are birds; average, ordinary, suburban birds. They’ve been birds their entire life. They could very well choose to take flying, singing, and sunrises for granted. But they don’t. Instead they fill the air with their predawn concert each morning, because they can.

They are birds and that’s what birds do. (Well, that and poop on cars.)

Even though I’m still trying to finish a good dream in those wee, pre-daybreak hours, I leave the windows

open so I can hear them each (early, early) morning because sleep is one thing and exuberance with the business of life is another.

Imagine experiencing authentic joy at the promise of each new day.

Of being so in love with the sunrise that you feel compelled to sing about it at the loudest decibel level in your range. Of flying across the country on your own feather power because nature tells you that’s the way it should be.

Birdbrain is not typically interpreted as a positive descriptor, but I think maybe that should change. While birds may or may not be the brightest bulbs in the backyard, they’ve got some things figured out, such as loving life – anytime of the day, but especially at 4 a.m.

Intelligent or not, they are an inspiration. Not only do they refrain from hitting the snooze button, they are joyous about their awakening. I love that. (The worms probably do not.)

I also love that by the time I’m ready to get out of bed

at 6:30 a.m. the backyard is silent. At first, I thought maybe their joy of dawn’s early light had been subdued, but I realized that wasn’t logical; by 6:30 a.m. when the rest of the world is getting out of bed, the birds are probably napping.

Who can blame them?

h my dears, I am smart again! Many moons ago, I lived in a France for a year. My sons and I loved the smart cars and I promised when they came to the states, I would get one. I did. I loved it.

I had never had such love for a car before, not even my 1986 Ford Mustang that I got right out of college. I loved the Mustang for sure, but the smart love was a deep abiding joyful playful mystical kind of relationship. That car was fun and gave me smiles. It also made everyone who saw it smile.

Smarts were a novelty when they first arrived in the US and I was the second person in my town to get one. There have only been a handful around in the years since. I guess the novelty must have worn off quickly, but my adoration never faded.

My smart was my trusty companion and we went on all kinds of adventures (sometimes with me wearing a tiara on days when I really need a pick me up). Everyone was shocked when I traded it in.

It was a spur of the moment decision but one I never regretted. When my firstborn was a senior in high school, it occurred to me that my little car would not be good at hauling stuff. A car that could carry more than two bodies and lots of stuff made sense.

So I traded smart for Soul.

I still have my Soul and I love it. Not a single issue and only now after five years and 85,000 miles did I replace tires and brake pads. It is a great car. I never stopped loving the smarts. If I ever saw one anywhere I would smile and wave as if I were part of a secret club. (So secret I was the only one who knew why I was waving.) Me missing my smart was a happy, grateful kind of missing. Such fun memories. When I first met my Prince Charming, I had the smart. I still can see him in my mind’s eye driving it in circles in the local Young at Heart parade (Hooray for my hometown of Loves Park, city with a heart!). He and I took that little smart car everywhere when we were courting because it was way cuter and easier to park than his big old

grandpa car. This past year, I have felt a stronger unexplained longing for a smart.

The longing then became a knowing.

“I will have one again someday,” I declared.

Being the powerful magical unicorn that I am, those words are now true. For our five-year wedding anniversary, my sweet Prince got us a smart car! He will say goodbye to his big old car (which has been a great car too) and we will now share both vehicles: smart and SOUL. The dealer gave us regular numbered license plates for the new smart. We will get something different. The personalized plates for my Soul say KEL E, and we are thinking of new fun ideas for both cars.

Your suggestions are welcome of course. When I had my first smart, I used to say I felt like I should throw candy every time someone pointed and waved. This time, I am going to keep candy in the car.

So, locals, if you see a white smart, smile and wave at me and I will toss you a Tootsie Roll. Life is a parade. May the fun never end!

BRING HOME A NEW WAY TO

CHEER FOR For the Dynia family, the Sox aren’t just a baseball team. They’re family. This makes sense for people who have lived here all their lives and have been Sox fans just as long. The team has given them years of memories. Mark Dynia says one of his favorites was of course when they won the World Series, but another was taking his one-year-old daughter to a game where a player threw a ball to them in the stands. For a family of Sox superfans, it doesn’t get much better.

And, now they can show their team pride right down to their debit card.
