Elmhurst Extended Care plan rejected by second City entity Owner attorney says denial would be discrimination

By Dan McLeister

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

The Federal Housing Amendments Act (FHAA) prohibitions clearly extend to discriminatory zoning practices, according to Scott Day, attorney for Elmhurst Extended Care (EEC). Day spoke at an April 24th meeting of the Development, Planning and Zoning (DPZ) Committee.

All three aldermen on the DPZ Committee rejected the EEC plan to expand. Previously the Zoning and Planning Commission (ZPC), an advisory entity, voted by a 3-2 margin against the plan.

The final vote will come from the City Council, which will likely consider the topic at its second meeting in May. It is possible that the owner of EEC could file a lawsuit against the City if the City Council also rejects the expansion plan, Day contended.

The owner has paid for a court reporter to take notes not only at DPZ meetings but also at the deliberation session of the ZPC. Normally, the City pays for a court reporter only at a public hearing.

Day said that the Federal House Committee Report states that the FHAA “is intended to prohibit the application of special requirements through land-use regulation, restrictive covenants, and conditional or special use permits that have the effect of limiting the ability of (the handicapped) to live in the residences of their choice in the community.”

“It is within the FHAA context that EEC challenges the unsupported neighbor claims of diminished land value, unsupported fears of flooding, unsupported allegations of detrimental traffic, false assertions of detrimental lighting and insistence that

housing the disabled is a commercial land use,” the attorney said.

Day noted that Federal courts have ruled that such stereotypical unsupported assertions about housing for the disabled legally constitute discrimination under the FHAA.

Discrimination in the context of the FHAA is far more broadly defined than is commonly understood by either laymen objectors or even many zoning officials, Day said.

“The type of discrimination prohibited by the FHAA and the Ameri-

can Disabilities Act (ADA) includes not only intentional, actual animus against the disabled, which is commonly understood, but also includes zoning regulations which inflict disparate treatment of the disabled.

“Discrimination also includes the

failure of zoning officials to take reasonable accommodations for the disabled when necessary.

“In order to prove discrimination it is not even necessary to show an

Tom Schergen recently was named the Amy Fahey and will begin his new high-school’s new president.

IC Catholic Prep athletic director Schergen succeeds interim president position this summer. Last July, the school announced the decision to divide the principal and president roles to better support the future needs of the Tom Schergen school.

“IC Catholic Prep is a place I really enjoy,” Schergen told the Independent.

“If this is another way I can help the school continue on its upward trend and continue to grow, this is where I want to be.”

In his new role, Schergen will focus on the financial management of the school as well as other external aspects including development, alumni relations, communications, marketing and admissions.

Longtime principal Pam Lavar continues in her position.

“My main responsibility will be the external pieces,” Schergen explained.

“Pam runs the day-to-day of the school.

I’ll focus on the external community piece with raising money and helping supplement the budget by working with our alumni base and donor base and concentrating on things such as facility improvements—anything that can help bring the school to the next level.”

With the new role Schergen will leave both his athletic director and head COURTESY PHOTO Elmhurst Independent girls soccer coaching positions.

“I’m sure I will miss the athletics side of it,” he said. “But with the role I will be in, I still will need to be present in the athletics part of it.

school’s new athletic director has drawn great interest thus far.

“We’re aggressively moving to get someone hired,” he said. “We’ve already had more than 20 resumes (as of late last week) and we’re drawing some real good interest. It’s exciting to see.”

Schergen said he’s thankful for the opportunity to lead IC Catholic Prep into the future.

“These opportunities don’t come along that often, if at all,” he said. “I’ve always said you have to take risks. I feel comfortable with the community I work in here. The school is strong, the board of directors is very supportive. I know I will have the support walking in. I have the support of Pam and the board and of Father Tom. It’s important to have that support.”

Schergen has been IC Catholic Prep’s athletic director since 2012.

During that time the school added three sports and Schergen was involved in the $2.3 million capital campaign to improve the school’s athletic facilities, including the new Plunkett Athletic Complex. He was named the 2017 Illinois Athletic Director’s Association state AD of the year.

Schergen is a graduate of Illinois State and Saint Xavier. Schergen previously was the athletic director at Maria and Marist high schools in Chicago and also worked at Bremen High School in Midlothian and Mt. Carmel High School in Chicago. Schergen earned an IADA division AD of the year award in 2011 while at Marist.

Day concluded that based upon the testimony and evidence submitted, EEC submits it has met all standards such that the requested conditional use, with appropriate conditions, should be granted.

When the vote was taken, all three Committee members voted against the plan. It will now go before City Council.

Shanklin receives Jaycees’ award for Distinguished Service

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

About 100 people gathered in the Normandy Room at the Elmhurst American Legion on Tuesday, April 25 to honor Elmhurst resident and long-time community leader Bill Shanklin as he was awarded the 65th Annual Distinguished Service Award (DSA) given by the Elmhurst Jaycees.

DSA Chairperson Katie Cullen welcomed everyone to the dinner and introduced John Wendel who offered the Invocation. Shanklin and his family, including his two daughters who were grinning with pride all evening, sat at the head table. The program included the following speakers: John R. Quigley, Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Ken Bartels, Community Bank of Elmhurst (CBE), Mike Kopp, City of Elmhurst, and Rich Reichert, also of CBE. All previous DSA recipients were invited to the front of the room for a round of applause.

Reichert summed up the high regards for Shanklin in his speech: “Bill is truly one of a kind. He is the person who cares about his family, his friends and his community . He is kind but not afraid to be direct when he feels strongly about something. Bill Shanklin epitomizes what the Elmhurst Jaycees Distinguished Service Award represents.”

Bill Fergus, current president of the Elmhurst Jaycees, presented the award to Shanklin, who then had an opportunity to address the room himself.

JERRY COONEY, 81 Bernard Jerome “Jerry” Cooney, of Elmhurst, passed away recently at the age of 81. Beloved husband of Margaret nee Heiser for 57 years; loving father of Michael (Lynn), Karen and John (Lisa); grandfather of Brenna, Marcus, Joshua, Caroline and Sophia; brother of James E. (Sandra); loved uncle of many nieces and nephews. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jerry, a loving husband, a devoted father and a friend to all. Born on August 27, 1935, in Oak Park, Jerry spent his entire life in the Chicago area.

He loved people and enjoyed making them smile. He had a great love for animals and never missed an opportunity to care for them. Most important to Jerry was his family. Following a successful career as a salesman in the paper industry, Jerry enjoyed serving as a crossing guard for Visitation school children which he did proudly for 10 years. Rumor has it that people altered their route just to see Jerry, at the corner of Madison and Kearsage, because he made their day. He made our day every day for 81 years. He will truly be missed by his family and friends. Memorial gathering at Visitation Church, 779 S. York St., Elmhurst from 9:45 A.M. until time of Memorial Mass at 10:45 A.M. Friday, May 19, 2017.

Interment Private. In lieu of flowers, Memorials will be appreciated for Elmhurst Extended Care Center, 200 E. Lake St., Elmhurst, 60126. Arrangements by Ahlgrim Funeral Home. For more information, call 630-834-3515 or visit ahlgrim.com.

Hospital’s administration trio looks forward to future growth Plans to be premier facility with best doctors, focus on community

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

About six months ago, there was a change in the administration of Elmhurst Hospital, when Pamela Dunley was named CEO of the local healthcare facility. She replaced Mary Lou Mastro, MS, RN, FACHE, who became System CEO of Edward-Elmhurst Health, effective July 1.

Current CEO Pam Davis will retire as of June 30, so she and Mastro are serving as System Co-CEOs through June 30.

Along with Dunley’s appointment, two other executives were promoted at Elmhurst Hospital as of Jan. 1. They are Laura Eslick, MBA, PMP, FACHE who was named Chief Operating Officer, and Jean Lydon, RN, MS-MBA, AOCN, promoted to Chief Nursing Officer.

The Independent had a chance to sit down with all three ladies to ask them about what it will be like working together. The message was simple: “We’ve already been working together for a number of years,” Dunley said. “So we’re just happy to moving forward together into the future.”

More about Dunley, Eslick, Lydon Born and raised in Downers Grove, Pamela Dunley has four kids and grandkids. Her background is as a psych nurse, working at River’s Edge Hospital for 34 years as

well as four psych clinics. She first came to Elmhurst Hospital because of her skills as a psych nurse; she also liked using a holistic approach to medicine.

Laura Eslick grew up in Hinsdale but has lived in Elmhurst for the past 20 years, working at Elmhurst Hospital during that time. She was married in Ireland and has two sons, a junior at York High School and a junior at Marquette University.

While Eslick has worked for 25 years in the healthcare field, she has spent most of her time in administration due to her strong background in finance and project management.

After growing up in the Beverly neighborhood of Chicago, Jean Lydon and her husband have three children ages 25, 27 and 29.

“I want grandchildren,” she said with a laugh. “My son is getting married in the spring, so maybe then?!”

Lydon worked as an oncology nurse for 37 years but has now been in hospital administration for more than 20 years.

“I came here as manager of Oncology Services and worked with Pam for ten years,” she said. “The hospital is such that it can attract a good talent pool that can grow to meet the needs of the hospital. It differentiates us because it attracts highly talented people, which allows us to grow the talent pool.”

Chromebook ratio for fourth-graders this school year is 2 to 1. She added that during the current school year, about 120 K-5 teachers in the district have participated in introductory courses related to using Chromebooks.

Henderson-Baum said the proposed MLI implementation for the 2017-18 school year calls for one-toone student to Chromebook ratios for third- and fourth-graders.

• District to lease technology equipment Later in the meeting, board members voted unanimously to authorize a three-year, $1 buy-out, lease/purchase agreement with U.S. Bancorp Government Leasing and Finance, Inc. The agreement for technology equipment is not to exceed $780,000, with three annual payments not to exceed about $265,000 each in fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020. The deal includes the $332,500 lease of approximately 475 Dell laptops (at $700 each) for staff, as well as a lease of about $360,000 for 1,130 Chromebooks (at about $320 each) for district students in grades 3 and 4.

The deal also includes the lease of 12 new Konica Minolta multi-function

What about the future?

Asked where they’ve been and where they’re going in the future, Pam replied that all three of them were involved in the hospital’s strategic plan.

“We wanted to be a Planetree hospital and that worked out, then we wanted to be a Magnet hospital and made that happen, too,” she said. “These are all great accomplishments, but what does it all mean? All these things are steps toward making Elmhurst Hospital a better facility with a fully integrated campus that is financially solvent and has grown consistently since the beginning.

“We pride ourselves in being nimble, reacting quickly and remaining physician-focused, while keeping a community focus.”

“We hoped to remain relevant in the community following the merger [with Edward Hospital],” said Laura. “We didn’t want to lose sight of what made us a great hospital. We have significant regional competition, but the merger has been a good marriage for us. We have strong service lines, especially in fields like cardiac and orthopedic medicine. We want things to be strong for the patient. We don’t want them to worry about anything except getting well.”

Their favorite things Asked what they liked best about their positions, Pamela said she liked being with people and watching them grow.

“The first year, we had 35,000 patients, then 65,000 in the second year,” she said. “That shows we are growing. People are learning about us so they come here because they want to be treated by us. We’re see-

printer/copiers (at a charge of about $79,000), which will be used various district schools.

Board members also voted unanimously to approve about $320,000 in computer purchases this summer.

That total includes the purchase of 775 Chromebooks (at $322.25 per unit) for York High School freshmen and incoming transfers, as well as the purchase of seven Apple iMacs (at about $2,000 per unit) for the York music department. The total purchase will also include 45 Chromebook storage/charging carts (at $1,220 per unit), which will be provided to each grade 3 and 4 classroom.

The district will make the purchase from CDW-G. There may be some minor adjustments to the final order.

The board approved a purchase not to exceed $325,000. According to the district, the sale of Chromebooks to York families is expected to result in revenues of about $200,000.

ing growth in our immediate care department and in new walk-in clinics.”

“I just want to make a difference in someone’s life,” replied Laura.

“My favorite thing is that I can have a significant positive impact on a patient’s care and experience,” said Jean. “I felt I was a good nurse, but in administration, you can do more for more people. Look at the professional growth in nursing and in leadership. This goes for everyone. A nurse may start in one area and end up somewhere else.”

Another thing Jean enjoys is that every day is different.

“Before we moved into the new hospital building, we had this attitude that, ‘once we move, everything will be okay,’” she said.

“There’s more to it than that because the hospital and all the people in it are constantly changing, and that means patients, as well as staff and administration.”

Pamela has to step out of operations but is very proud of the vision and direction the hospital has been going and where it is headed.

“I am going to let them put their own stamp on it,” she said of Laura and Jean. “I trust them totally.

I also trust Lou [Mastro]. But it’s a totally different world out there right now. We are going to focus on excellent physicians and on our place in the community.”

“The best thing about the merger with Edward Hospital is that we became even stronger as a hospital,” Laura said. “We can figure out our market, what does it really need and how should we serve it.

The merger has helped us not be so overburdened at both organizations. And it’s really all thanks to our collaboration with our Naperville partners at Edward Hospital.”

thorne Elementary School, will begin her new position on July 1, with an annual salary of about $129,500.

The board also voted to accept a $10,000 donation from the Hawthorne Elementary School PTA, which will be used for the school’s classroom library needs. Additionally, the board voted to accept a donation not to exceed $3,000 from the Edison Elementary School PTA. That donation will be used to expand the selections in the school’s guided reading library.

DON’T TOP IT OFF

Even if contact lens wearers are scrupulous about cleaning their lenses properly, they may be vulnerable to bacterial infections. Every year about one out of twenty contact lens wearers develop a contact related eye infection, some potentially sight threatening. The reason for this is that nearly one quarter of contact lens users never replace their lens cases. Bacteria can breed in the nooks and crannies of these cases and infect eyes. Also, many wearers continue to just “top off” the solution when storing them. The American Optometric Association reports that most serious contact-related eye infections can be traced back to these two scenarios. Cases should be rinsed out daily with hot water and be allowed to air dry. Cases should also replaced monthly, or should be scrubbed thoroughly (lids too) with a toothbrush and baking soda. If your case looks dirty, it’s an infection waiting to happen. By all means, do not “top off” the solution for the night’s disinfection. A little bit of care can prevent a lot of problems.

Slices of life

Right turns are easier than right of way

I’ve never claimed to be a great driver. Good, perhaps; careful, for sure. My family would tell you I am cautious – sometimes to the point of being jumpy at the wheel.

By jumpy I mean on the lookout for surprises, aka accidents waiting to happen. Pedestrians who come out of nowhere, squirrels darting across the street, or dogs without leashes.

And cars, mostly other cars, I have trust issues with other cars, or more specifically the drivers of those cars.

You can’t count on them to see you or follow the rules of the road. Many are looking at phones. Everyone knows you shouldn’t text and drive but I see it all the time. Hence my caution and predisposition to brake first and ask question later. Defensive driving 101 – I practically invented the topic.

This seasoned roadie has learned that not all driving is created equal.

Some situations are worse than others. There are a few scenarios where a diligent driver (like me) is likely to

be more road-leery and brake-ready than usual.

Uncontrolled intersections are risky business. When I encounter a cross street with another vehicle inching out onto my roadway, I slow down and prepare to avoid a collision should they attempt to come crashing into me.

Four-way stop signs are controlled intersections and as such should bring comfort to a control freak. Unfortunately this isn’t the case. The concept of waiting your turn was mastered by most of us in kindergarlike I avoid left turns.

My son, who often rides shotgun in my vehicle, gets annoyed with my

vigilant behind-the-wheel behaviors.

“You’ve got the right of way,” he says with the smug authority of someone with a brand new permit in his wallet and a pocketful of knowledge gleaned from a recent stint in driver’s training class. Clearly his nouveau insight far surpasses my decades of dependably cautious driving experience.

“If they come crashing into us it doesn’t matter who has the right of way,” I tell him with the authority of a driver who long ago graduated from training permit to full-fledged license.

And then I make a few right turns toward home. It’s all in the name of safety.

In my opinion

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be Although much of my work is helping people write books, I have never left the “joy” By business. I still coach people and KELLY SIMMONS speak on science of happiness, Columnist positive psychology, and how to reduce stress. With all my clients, including book clients, I love seeing them step into their brilliance, own their bigger purpose and gain confidence in themselves.

Trust and creativity grow.

As I prepare for a workshop I’ve been hired to give for a professional group, I am steeped in quotes I love. Let me share some of them with you.

“Don’t put the key of happiness in someone else’s pocket.” This needs to be a reminder to us all, always. No matter how much we love our spouse and how in sync we are, our key to happiness is only up to us. As much as I adore my Prince Charming, my happiness is my business. It is not up to him to make me happy. It is my job to make me happy.

“Most people would rather be certain they’re miserable, than risk being happy.” ~Robert Anthony We so often stay put in our unhappiness because we fear leaving our comfort zones. We are taught to fear the unknown, but the fear is worse than the actual unknown. Once it becomes known we wonder why we were so afraid.

We are afraid to leave a job or a relationship, even if we know it is not right for us, because we don’t know what is next. Something better is next! It is always your choice. If you choose to stay in misery, no complaining allowed. That key to happiness is in your hand.

“People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.” ~H. Jackson Brown What floats my boat may make yours sink. You must seek your own fulfillment in your own way, even if no one else understands. Some like to travel to far-flung places. Some like to stay home and knit. No comparing, no judgement, just the knowing that you are in charge of you, and everybody else is on their own road. If our paths cross, that’s wonderful.

“He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.” ~Henry Ward Beecher Money cannot buy love nor happiness. Money is also not the root of all evil. You can be rich and happy or you can be rich and miserable, it has nothing to do with the money. People who aren’t happy with what they have now will not be satisfied if they hit the jackpot. It’s all mindset. The more you understand that you deserve money and love, and are worthy of money and love, the more you receive and sustain money and love.

Happiness is about letting go of what we have been taught and tapping in to what we know, deep inside.

“If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden, or looking for dinosaur eggs in the Gobi desert. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator. He will not be striving for it as a goal in itself. He will have become aware that he is happy in the course of living life twenty-four crowded hours of the day.“ ~W. Beran Wolfe Happiness is not out there. It is available to all in all circumstances. To figure out how to do that for yourself, give me a ring. For now, pat your pocket. The key is there.

Prolonged use of pacifiers and thumb-sucking may lead to misalignment and improper growth of mouth structures. These are usually not problems for babies who voluntarily stop sucking on pacifiers within a year to three years. Others have a tougher time breaking the habit. If they begin thumb-sucking instead, they may find that this habit is even harder to break. Thumb- and finger-sucking should be given up before permanent teeth begin to come in.

There are a few things to watch for that may mean your child needs to see an orthodontist, such as crowded or misplaced teeth, difficulty chewing or biting, mouth breathing, thumb sucking, or popping jaws. Early treatment allows your orthodontist to correct and guide your child’s jaw, create more space for crowded teeth, avoid the need for extractions later in life, and correct thumb sucking and minor speech problems.

P.S. One benefit of pacifier use by infants is a reduction in the risk of “sudden infant death syndrome” (SIDS).

Couple accused of stealing more than $200,000 from COD Bond set for two who allegedly ran financial aid fraud scheme

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin announced last week that charges had been filed against a Roselle couple accused of stealing more than $200,000 from the College of DuPage (COD) in an elaborate scheme involving financial aid fraud.

Cedric Ramey, 40, and Mary Allen, 37, both of 811 Shawnee Trail in Roselle, appeared in Bond Court on April 26, where Judge Dieden set bond at $1 million with 10% to apply for Ramey and $500,000 with 10%

to apply for Allen. Neither Ramey nor Allen is affiliated with the COD in any manner.

It is alleged that beginning in February, 2012, through May, 2014, the duo recruited friends to provide personal information that Ramey and Allen allegedly used to apply for admission to COD and for loans and grants from the Department of Education awarded through COD. It is further alleged that the recruits would then withdraw from the courses resulting in refunds of tuition

balances returned to them either via check made payable to the recruit or electronic deposit into the recruit’s bank account. It is also alleged that the recruits would then split the refund with Ramey and Allen. The couple’s alleged scheme began to unravel in 2013 when an individual reported that she had received a tuition bill from COD but she had never attended the college. An investigation led by the College of DuPage Police Department with assistance from the State’s Attorney’s Financial

Crimes Unit led to Ramey and Allen.

In all, it is alleged that the pair stole $205,580.

“Not only did the alleged actions of Mr. Ramey and Ms. Allen cost the College of DuPage hundreds of thousands of dollars, their actions may have also hindered other students with a legitimate need in their search of financial aid,” Berlin said.

A DuPage County Grand Jury returned a 20-count indictment against both Ramey and Allen. The most serious charge against each defen-

dant is Theft Over $100,000 From a School or Place of Worship, a Class X Felony. Their next court appearance is scheduled for May 22, in front of Judge Robert Miller.

Members of the public are reminded that this complaint contains only charges and is not proof of the defendants’ guilt.

The defendants are presumed innocent and are entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government’s burden to prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Bond set for tow truck driver accused of murder in road rage shooting According to a release from DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Illinois State Police District 15 Commander Captain Robert Meeder, bond has been set Anthony Tillmon for a tow truck driver accused of fatally shooting the driver of a semitrailer truck following an apparent road rage altercation late last week. Anthony Tillmon, 34, of Lansing, appeared in Bond Court on the morning of April 26, where Judge Joseph Bugos set bond at $3 million with 10% to apply. Tillmon has been charged with one count of First Degree Murder. If convicted, he faces a possible sentence of up to natural life in prison.

at approximately 4:50 p.m., the victim, Eduardo Munoz, 43, of Florida, was traveling eastbound on I-88 in Oak Brook. It is alleged that while driving, Munoz and Tillmon were involved in some type of “road rage” incident and appeared to be yelling at each other. It is further alleged that shortly thereafter, near the I-294 Interchange, Tillmon pulled his vehicle alongside the driver’s side of Munoz’s semitrailer, pointed a handgun at Munoz and pulled the trigger, hitting Munoz three times as he was driving. It is further alleged that following the shooting, Tillmon exited the highway and sped away.

Savvy Sister consignment event opens May 18

By Marisa Mancini

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

They may look like sisters -- and sometimes act like sisters -- but Sarah Link and Leslie Schlesinger, owners of Savvy Sister, a clothing consignment company, are not related. The pair first met when Leslie moved to Elmhurst two years ago.

“Between the two of us, we have six children under the age of ten, and our first graders go to school together here in Elmhurst,” said Sarah.

“We met one day while walking our kids to school and have become the best of friends.”

is packed full of fashion, high quality shoes, handbags, and accessories for women of all sizes and ages. We have a wide variety of brands …We definitely have something for everyone.”

Leslie and Sarah consign their own purchases, but receive many of their items from consignors.

“This upcoming spring sale, we are sold out at 100 consignors,” Sarah said. “Women from Elmhurst and all surrounding suburbs have registered to consign with us. We provide everything a woman needs to clean out her closet and make some money while doing so.”

Savvy Sister uses a computerized system for women to enter their items. The website at SavvySisterSale.com provides drop down menus offering two different options for consignors, Express Tagging and Standard Tagging.

“Leslie and I pick up Express Taggers clothing from their homes and enter all the information into the system,” she said. “Standard Taggers enter their items themselves and set an appointment one to two days before the sale to drop off their items.

Consignors can earn up to 75% on their sales.”

Savvy Sister’s consignors have the option of donating items to a local charity at the end of the event. In the past, Savvy Sister has donated up to 1,500 items to local churches that give away clothing to women in need.

passion for supporting the community and giving back locally. Sarah is a former National Board Certified Chicago Public School teacher and mom of three boys who brings balance, energy and punctuality to the company.

Hosting the Savvy Sister Sale is what Leslie and Sarah love to do the most. It combines some of their favorite things — shopping, friends, and good deals. Another thing they love is being able to run the company while still being home with their

Getting acquainted, a new idea Leslie developed the Savvy Sister concept based on a consignment store she found in North Carolina, where she lived prior to moving here.

“Leslie presented the idea to me about five months after we met and I immediately fell in love with it,” said Sarah. “We felt our biggest obstacle was that we had no background in business, web design or running a company. We now do all our own web design, marketing and media.

We are extremely proud of all the accomplishments we have reached thus far and look forward to [expanding] our company.”

Savvy Sister is a pop-up consignment business that holds biannual sales – one in the spring and one in the fall.

This spring sale, which runs from May 18 to May 21 at the Knights of Columbus in Elmhurst, will be Savvy Sister’s third event.

Each “Sister” brings her own strengths Sales bring smiles to Leslie and Sarah’s diverse backconsignors, patrons grounds contribute to the success “We love the smiles on women’s of their business.

• Executive Director’s contract amendment passes Board members voted unanimously to approve a contract amendment for Elmhurst Park District Executive Director Jim Rogers. The board evaluated Rogers’ performance during closed sessions in late 2016 and the first quarter of 2017. Board members and Rogers discussed the terms of his current contract during closed session on April 10. Effective May 1, 2017, Rogers’ contract includes a 1 percent increase in his annual compensation to $169,983, or a bi-weekly salary of $6,537.80. In addition to approving the 1-percent increase, the board voted to award Rogers a onetime bonus of $8,000.

• Retiring commissioner recognized The board voted unanimously during the April 24 meeting to approve a resolution recognizing Commissioner Anthony Pelosi on his re-

tirement from the board. Pelosi was elected to a six-year term in 2011.

He did not seek re-election this year.

The April 24 meeting marked Pelosi’s final meeting as a park district commissioner. Rogers read a proclamation recognizing Pelosi and his contributions to the board in the last six years. Rogers also noted that a similar resolution recognizing Pelosi was recorded in the Illinois House of Representatives.

Noting a new practice, Rogers stated that Pelosi had agreed to an exit interview to share information about his experience as a board member.

Rogers also mentioned that he would soon meet with Timothy Sheehan, who was elected to the board on April 4. Commissioner Mary Kies was re-elected to the board on April 4. Kies and Sheehan will both be sworn in to six-year terms at the board’s next meeting—its annual meeting, which will take place on May 8 at the Wilder Mansion.

Commission honors 73 youth for outstanding community service

By Marisa Mancini FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

On Wednesday, April 26, the Exemplary Youth Service Awards were bestowed on 73 well deserving young Elmhurst residents. Sponsored by the City of Elmhurst Commission on Youth, the event honored these young citizens for their selfless dedication to helping others in need. District 205 Superintendent Dr. David Moyer welcomed the audience and commended the awardees on being “life ready” because they understand that human beings need each other.

In his address, Mayor Steve Morley stated he was honored to be with these young leaders who chose to take time to serve others. He then charged each awardee to “find another kid and ask them to get involved - to spread the bug of service.”

Master of Ceremonies Ken Bartels presented the awards which were divided into two categories – Exemplary and Commendable. Five individuals and three groups received Exemplary Service Awards.

The individual recipients were 9-year-old Eisleigh Harding (the youngest awardee of the evening), Benjamin Hoffmann, Elizabeth Maloney, Theodore Miller, and Maria Muehleis. The group recipients were The Dependent Clauses, which includes Joseph Bonelli, Jake Downey, Anthony Flores, Ashley Harmon, Andrew Hausoul, Matteo Mancuso, Connor McCarthy, Jack Jones, Thomas Kunst, Liam McCarthy, Diego Nunez, and Michael Vreeland; the Kartwheels for Kids, including Cecelia Lampa, Katelyn Leonard, Grace Maniola, Martha Muklyukh, Maryalice Shockey, and Emma Wheatland; and York High School Garden Club, which includes Dominic Gatti, Abigail Gundrum, Glory Jaquat, and Barrett Sullivan.

The Dependent Clauses, a group founded by Andrew Hausoul three years ago, are eighth graders at Sandburg Middle School, who raised $1,800 by doing yard work and selling cider and baked goods at local events. This year, the group used their money to help a single mom with young children (age 4 and an 8-month-old) move to transitional housing by purchasing clothing, necessities, and home goods for the family.

Farewell to Emily Bastedo And lastly, the Board bid a fond farewell to Emily Bastedo and presented her with a plaque honoring her four years of service.

Board President Shannon Ebner read a Emily Bastedo statement giving a farewell salute to Bastedo.

“Emily has been an excellent board member for the past four years, and we will miss her insights and contributions,” Ebner said. “…She stayed focused on the big picture and empowered staff to pursue District goals. She trusted the administration to do their jobs and was able to delegate the day-to-day work of the District to the superintendent and staff.”

“Emily has nurtured a positive and inviting board culture. … We are grateful for her contributions and wish her the best!”

Historian to discuss Americans and their homes at upcoming lecture

COURTESY PHOTO Elmhurst Independent

Decorate your home. It gives the illusion that your life is more interesting than it really is. —Charles M. Schulz The Elmhurst History Museum’s current exhibit, “House & Home,” takes visitors on a tour of America’s rich history of residential architecture, exploring the transformations in technology, laws and consumer culture that have brought about enormous change in American domestic life. What is it about our homes that make them distinctly American, and why are Americans so connected to their homes?

On Thursday, May 11 from 2-3 p.m., the Museum presents a lecture

by Michael H. Ebner, Ph.D., who will offer an in-depth look at “Americans and their Homes.” The slide lecture

in the Elmhurst History Museum’s Education Center at 120 E. Park Ave. Ebner is the James D. Vail III Professor of History Emeritus at Lake Forest College, Michael H. where he taught American history Ebner, Ph.D. for 38 years. He is also a lecturer, consultant and author best known for his prize-winning book, “Creating Chicago’s North Shore: A Suburban History (1988).” His op-ed essays and book reviews have appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Tribune, History News Network, and Philadelphia Inquirer. Eb-

ner is the recipient of awards—as a mentor, teacher, and for public service—from the American Historical Association, the Chicago Tribune, the City College of New York, and Lake Forest College, and is a life trustee at the Chicago History Museum.

The program is free for members of the Heritage Foundation; $5 for non-members. Reservations may be made online at elmhursthistory.org or by calling 630-833-1457. This lecture is the final program presented in conjunction with the Elmhurst History Museum’s latest exhibit, “House & Home.” Admission to the exhibit is free.

Elmhurst College awards honorary degrees to radio host, bandleader Recognition for Terri Hemmert, Doc Severinsen On Saturday, May 27, during the Elmhurst College commencement exercises, the Board of Trustees will confer honorary doctoral degrees on two people who have spent their lives sharing the gift of music, and who have special connections to the College.

They are alumna and popular Chicago radio host Terri Hemmert and Grammy-winning trumpeter and former Tonight Show bandleader Doc Severinsen.

“This is surreal— I was stunned when I got the call,” Hemmert said on Tuesday, April 25, when Elmhurst College President Troy D. VanAken stopped by WXRT studios to congratulate Hemmert on the air. “This means the world to me, because the four years I spent at Elmhurst were amazing.”

For more than 40 years, Hemmert has been playing “Chicago’s Finest Rock” as a disc jockey on WXRT-FM. She was Chicago’s first female morning drive personality before moving to the midday position in 1992, which she has held ever since. She was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2010. A humanitarian and activist, Hemmert has served

on the board of directors for the Peace Museum, volunteered on behalf of the AIDS Pastoral Care Network and has worked with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to create music education programs. She also has served on the advisory board of Elmhurst College’s radio station WRSE-FM, where she worked during her years as a student.

For 30 years, Doc Severinsen led the world-famous NBC Orchestra on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, until the show ended in 1992. But since then, Severinsen hasn’t stopped performing, touring with a quintet called The San Miguel Five as well as with his own big band. A Grammy award winner, Severinsen has recorded more than 30 albums, ranging from big band to classical.

In recent years, Severinsen has built a strong relationship with Elmhurst College, appearing with the Elmhurst College Jazz Band three times in the last three years. Their latest performances took place last October, when the Jazz Band backed him on a tour through Ohio.

Severinsen returns to the College on June 17 to perform at June Jazz.

A Day Just For Mom

By Tresa Erickson Every year as the second Sunday in May approaches, millions of people across the country turn their thoughts to Mom and find ways to let her know how much she means to them. Although it wasn’t always celebrated on the second Sunday in May, Mother’s Day has been around in some form since ancient times.

The ancient Greeks and Romans held a festival each spring honoring maternal goddesses like Rhea and Cybele. During these celebrations, participants would put on parades, play games and participate in masquerades.

Early Christians held their own festival in honor of the Virgin Mary. When the English took up the celebration, they expanded it to include all mothers and renamed it Mothering Sunday. On this day, individuals attended services for the Virgin Mary and then visited their own mothers, bringing them flowers, gifts and treats.

The popularity of Mothering Sunday had faded considerably by the start of the 19th century but remerged in the 1870s due to the efforts of activist and writer Julia Ward Howe. Howe thought there should be a day in honor of mothers in the United States. She introduced her idea in 1872, calling for the celebration to take place on June 2 and all mothers to take a stand against war. Howe had seen the devastation the loss of life in the Civil War had had on mothers everywhere.

Although many embraced her idea of a day for peace, the celebration of Mother’s Day as we know it today did not come about until the

279755

early 20th century when Anna Jarvis introduced it.

As a child, Anna Jarvis had heard her mother pray for a day dedicated solely to mothers, living and deceased, and honoring their contributions. When her mother died in 1905, Jarvis recalled her mother’s wish and started campaigning for a national holiday for mothers everywhere. She wrote letters to many leaders in her community and across the country and spoke about the matter at many functions.

By 1911, Jarvis’ efforts had paid off, with nearly every state in the country celebrating the day. Just three years later on May 8, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill into law, establishing the second Sunday of every May Mother’s Day. Today, Mother’s Day is celebrated in various nations around the world.

Spouses and children all over take time out to honor the mothers in their lives, and for that, Anna Jarvis and her mother would be thankful.

Senior art students will explore a number of themes, ranging from a look into a budding cultural movement to a playful Western spin on traditional Japanese food packaging during the Elmhurst College Art Department’s 49th Annual Spring Capstone Art Exhibition.

The high point for every graduating art major, the capstone exhibition requires students to create a body of work in their area of concentration, then plan the exhibition and design the promotional materials for it.

Amarelis Morales’ project explores the nature of the emerging LatinX social movement, which Morales defines as a gender-neutral way of referring to a person of Latin-American descent. In order to fully capture the nature of the LatinX community, Morales interviewed numerous members of the Latin community, culminating in a 36page book on the topic.

“I hope any person who reads LatinX can learn something new, if not a new word to include in their vocabulary, then a look into the current climate of the Latino community,” said Morales, of Elmhurst.

Justin Lonski, of Elk Grove Village, has

created a series of concert posters, inspired by different eras of graphic design, that pay homage to a different celebrated graphic designer. Diamante Hicks, of Bellwood, crafted a series of packages for traditional Japanese meals, exploring the ways in which each dish fits into modern Japanese culture.

Erin Bartholomew created an original graphic novel, The Corpse Walker, inspired by the ancient Irish folktale of the same name.

“The layout is inspired by traditional children’s books, and the illustrations pay homage to turn-of-the-century illustrators such as Harry Clarke, Aubrey Beardsley and Virginia Frances Sterrett,” said Bartholomew, of Elmhurst. Her book and original illustrations also will be on display during the exhibition.

The Elmhurst College Spring Capstone Art Exhibition runs from Saturday, May 6, through Saturday, May 27, in the Barbara A. Kieft Accelerator ArtSpace (For directions, visit elmhurst.edu/campusmap). A public reception will be held on May 6 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the Barbara A. Kieft Accelerator ArtSpace. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

School District 205 names two new curriculum directors On Tuesday, April 25, the District 205 Board of Education voted unanimously (7-0) to approve the employment of current Hawthorne Elementary School Principal Nikki Tammaru as the new District 205 Director of Literacy, effective July 1, 2017. Nikki Tammaru Dr. Mary Henderson-Baum, Assistant Superintendent of Learning and Teaching said, “Ms. Tammaru has a strong background in both literacy and leadership. Her passion for literacy is evident in her daily work.

Her ability to plan and Dave Beedy lead professional learning will allow us to fully support our teachers at all levels in our continued work to improve instruction.”

At the Board meeting on April 11, Dave Beedy was elevated from STEM (Science,

Technology, Engineering and Math) Coordinator to the position of Director of STEM Education.

“His leadership, initiative, and the quality of his work has been outstanding,” noted Dr. Moyer.

The new Directors will facilitate parent education, lead professional learning, supervise department chairs, other leaders and committee work, actively plan and coordinate curriculum development work, with a focus on interdisciplinary units of instruction, and play a more prominent role in the assessment development work in the District, which must be a top priority for the foreseeable future. As the District moves to more program evaluation, the Directors will support the Executive Director for Research and Program Analysis, Charles Sprandel, in this area.

Superintendent Moyer noted that “these recommendations are designed to strengthen the leadership and systematic coordination of District operations. As opportunities are presented, the Elmhurst District 205 Administration will continue to look for ways to improve its effectiveness.”

MOTHER’S DAY 2017

Set the stage

By Tresa Erickson Whether you entertain a lot or a little, you probably know that one of the best ways to ensure a good time for all is to create the right backdrop.

Guests often feel more welcome and willing to mingle when surrounded by a festive scene. This year as you are preparing for your Mother’s Day party, don’t forget to set the stage for a wonderful event. Take the time

to decorate, and watch your guests’ faces light up as they arrive and move through the spectacular setting you have created.

You should start your decorating by selecting a theme. This can be dictated by any number of things from the location of the party to the number of guests invited. If you are having a large informal get-together in the backyard, then you may want

to select an outdoorsy theme, like a picnic in the park or a day on the beach. If you are having a small formal tea in the dining room, then you may want to go with a garden party theme.

Once you have a theme in mind, you can start shopping for supplies.

Balloons, streamers and banners are common choices. You can purchase banners or make your own. Flowers

work well for any occasion, and you can select some of the favorites of the mothers at your party for the centerpieces and swags. For a personal touch, consider scattering photos of the mothers you’re celebrating around the room as well as some cards for them. Lights and candles are a welcome addition to nighttime festivities.

With supplies in hand, you can get down to the basics of actually setting up for the party. If you are having the party at home rather than somewhere off-site, take time to clean the areas where guests will be mingling. Make sure you have enough tables and chairs and use tablecloths that coordinate with your theme. Depending

upon the tone of the party, you may use nice stemware, dinnerware and flatware, or go the simple route of disposable tableware.

With everything set up, you can start decorating. Remember it really is about the eye, so do your best to create an attractive backdrop for your party. Start by decorating the entryway to the party. Tie some balloons to the mailbox or hang a beautiful wreath on the door with a banner that says, “Happy Mother’s Day.” Then spread decorations throughout the area and display them in an attractive fashion. The more thought and time you put into the decorations, the better impression you will make and the happier your guests will be.

IC Catholic Prep track teams turn in strong performances

IC Catholic Prep girls soccer team wins pair of games

Rowell breaks school record in long jump

Langan scores four goals against Timothy Christian

The IC Catholic Prep girls soccer team lost a tough Metro Suburban Conference Blue Division game.

And apparently the Knights weren’t too happy about that. IC Catholic Prep rebounded swiftly from the loss to outscore its next two opponents 12-1.

IC Catholic Prep lost 3-2 to Aurora Central Catholic in MSC Blue play, but came back to defeat Timothy Christian 6-0 in a MSC crossover game and then downed Hinckley-Big Rock 6-1 in nonconference play.

Tessa Langan had four goals in the win against Timothy, while Katie Hendricks and Bella Leslie each had a goal. Reardon, Grace Fuller and Olivia Hurt each recorded an assist.

Hurt and Fuller each scored two goals in the win over Hinckley.

Leslie and Hendricks each added a goal. Sophie Zanoni, Langan, Annie Guinan, Jalene Pina and Hurt each had an assist.

“We had a tough loss against ACC,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Tom Schergen. “We outshot them 17-9 but we gave up a tough goal with 40 seconds left. It was nice to see the girls rebound like they did. They didn’t let that loss hold them back. They came back even stronger. They showed a lot of heart and perseverance.”

Schergen has been pleased with the team’s ball distribution throughout the season. “We’re still moving the ball well and we’re sharing it,” he said. “We have eight girls who have multiple goals on the season. We have a long list of goal scorers. We’re sharing the wealth.”

Schergen also has been impressed with the defensive side of the field. “Defensively we’ve been strong all year,” he said. “We have a very good defense that stays together. Our goalkeeping with Gabby Smola and Rochelle Spizzirri continues to get stronger each game.”

Langan was the team’s leading goal-scorer with 15 through late last week. Hurt is right behind her with 14.

Schergen also has been pleased with the development of freshmen Leslie and Guinan. “We moved Bella and Annie to the midfield and they have stepped up instantly in the center-midfield,” he said.

Through late last week, the Knights were 11-4 overall and 2-3 in MSC Blue play.

In other recent action, the Knights downed Fenton 2-1 in MSC Blue play. Fuller had both Knights’ goals.

IC Catholic Prep also defeated Evergreen Park by a 5-1 count.

Langan, Fuller, Hurt, Kaitlyn Grady and Zanoni each had a goal in the non-conference win. Fuller had two assists, while Hurt and Grady each had an assist.

The IC Catholic Prep girls track team had a number of notable performances in a recent meet at Glenbard South that included the host school, Glenbard East, Illiana Christian and Riverside-Brookfield.

Kiersten King won the 200 with a time of 27.36, but suffered a leg injury as she finished. Katarina Vorne won the 400 in 1:06.67.

The IC Catholic Prep 800 relay team of Jaida Smith, Olivia Slavin, Hannah Johnson and King won the race in 1:54.71.

Smith was second in the triple jump at 33-6, while Johnson was third in the event at 32-11 1/4.

IC Catholic Prep’s 1,600 relay was second at 4:46.77 with Slavin, Johnson, Nailah Landon and Vorne.

Smith was third in the long jump at 14-8 1/4. The Knights’ 3,200 relay team of Julissa Unzueta, Katerina Vasquez, Anna Gendusa and Bianca Arenas was third at 12:54.46.

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Timothy Christian boys track team took third at the recent Walther Christian Invitational and fifth at the Chicago Christian Invitational.

At Chicago Christian, Xavier Ross won the 110 high hurdles in 15.71 and also won the 300 intermediate hurdles in 40.58. Trojans coach John Vander Kamp noted both times are under state-qualifying marks.

York boys track team wins Bud Mohn Invitational Kern Jr. holds state’s fastest 800-meter time; York girls 3,200 relay improving

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

York’s boys track and field team won the recent Bud Mohn Invitational meet.

Individually, Charlie Kern Jr. won the 800 with a time of 1:53.03—through late last week that was the fastest time in the state. Kern also currently is the sixth-fastest 800 runner in York history.

Jackson Bode won the 3,200 in 9:41.88, while Jonathan Tanner won the 200 in 23.30. The 1,600 relay team also won, while Cal Widener was second in the shot put and discus. Widener’s shot put mark was 55-5. He is the ninth-best shot-putter in York history.

York coach Charlie Kern Sr., said one major improvement he’s seen this spring has been in the quickness department.

“Our team speed has greatly improved,” he said.

“Since the start of the outdoor season our sprint crew has really improved. We have a positive attitude that has generated a lot of momentum and excitement.”

Kern Sr. has seen plenty of positive momentum in the team’s running events. “We can seriously talk about sprint relays meeting the state-qualifying standards,” he said. “The distance events, especially on the frosh-soph level, have really improved. The future is very bright.”

Bode recently ran 4:24 in the 1,600—a three-second personal-record for him.

Widener leads the way for York’s field events.

“We have become very strong in the throws and have two athletes who can score in most meets,” said Kern Sr. “Cal has been amazing to watch this spring. John Golen has made incredible improvements in the shot and Vince Cahill continues to improve in the discus ring.”

Josiah Scott is an addition to the long-jump crew.

“Josiah has made an immediate impact,” said Kern Sr. “He’s our first jumper beyond the 20-foot barrier.”

Alex Lutter has cleared 13 feet in the pole vault, while newcomer Brendan Hill has cleared 10 feet in only two weeks of work.

Also of significance is York’s recent performance at the Distance Night in Palatine event that included a freshman-only mile. Ethan Kern took first and set a new meet record of 4:28.67. That’s the fourth-fastest freshman 1,600 time in York history. Daniel Klysh was third in the mile at 4:29.61 and that’s the sixth-fastest freshman time in school history.

Tanner is another athlete Kern Sr. has been impressed with. “He’s been one of the program’s most improved athletes,” the coach said. “Jonathan has become a legitimate sprinter and has replaced points we lost as we went from indoor to outdoor.

His victory at the Bud Mohn Invitational is still in

the minds of his coaches and teammates. Jonathan is a success story everyone should follow. He does the best he can with his ability each and every day.

He has worked hard and now is reaping the rewards of his efforts. We are so excited to watch him perform again.”

York heads to the DuPage County meet Friday.

“We have exceeded some of our team goals and will continue to work on improving individually as we move into the championship portion of our schedule,” said Kern Sr. York girls track Dukes coach Keegan Kilrea has been impressed with the team’s 3,200 relay team.

“Right now our 4-by-8 is running great,” she said.

That team consists of Julie Biggins, Lydia Hickey, Katherine Tomaska and Sarah May. “We are excited to see how we continue to improve while racing some competitive teams,” said Kilrea.

The 3,200 team took second at the Glenbard West Invitational with a 9:27 time.

At the recent Palatine distance event, Francesca Mordini and Emma Kern turned in lifetime best performances in the mile. Mordini finished at 5:23, while Kern was at 5:25. May had a season PR in the 800 with a time of 2:17.

Also at Glenbard West, Jeanette Morley was second in the high jump at 5-3.

Hackert was impressed with Olivia Hoekstra’s 400 win in 1:00.94 and Schnurr’s first race in the 300 low hurdles.

Hackert also cited Stoll’s performance at the meet. She brought home a total of three gold medals, winning the 800 run and running on the winning 3,200 and 1,600 relay teams.

Unfortunately, even a small dosage can depress respiratory function, and these drugs can be especially dangerous when combined with other common substances like alcohol and sleeping pills. What’s more, prescription drug abuse can be addictive, and even lead to heroin use.

If you love someone who may be addicted to prescription painkillers, here are five things the National Safety Council says you should know.

1. Addiction is a chronic disease that affects the brain. Addiction, like heart disease or diabetes, leads to increasingly poor health, and can be fatal if it’s not effectively treated and managed. People who suffer

from addiction still have self-worth and should be treated with dignity.

Unfortunately, shame and discrimination prevent many individuals from seeking treatment. Recovery can be achieved in many different ways and all recovery efforts should be celebrated.

2. Medication Helps. Opioid and heroin addiction cause a chemical imbalance in the brain, which medication can help repair. There are three major medications typically used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes counseling and participation in social support programs: Buprenorphine, methadone and naltrexone. Buprenorphine and methadone diminish the effects of withdrawal and cravings restoring brain chemistry. Naltrexone blocks the euphoric effects of opioids and heroin. Buprenorphine and naltrexone can be administered by health care providers. Methadone is delivered in specialized clinics.

3. Traditional treatments aren’t always effective. Recovery is a lifelong journey. Unfortunately, some traditional treatments focus on quicker fixes like attempting it alone or by going cold turkey, which ultimately can be detrimental. Indeed, rates of relapse for people who have gone through in-patient treatment programs are up to 56 percent within the first year following discharge.

However, medications, can offer longer-term solutions, and are often less expensive than in-patient treatment. If traditional substance abuse programs haven’t worked, consider medication.

4. Support is critical. A failed cycle of detox and inpatient therapy, then relapse, can leave a person feeling hopeless. This is why support is critical. Doctors and treatment counselors are important, but even more so is a well-informed support group of family and friends.

“Addiction is not a broken arm

that can be fixed. It’s like being on a permanent diet with a piece of candy staring at you every day,” says “Israel, a survivor advocate who lost his son after battling a prescription drug addiction. He advises friends and family of patients to, “Know the signs of addiction. Don’t judge.

Throw tough love out the window.

Love. But love with structure.”

5. Understanding addiction is crucial. Both patients and their friends and family should understand that addiction is a disease, and know what is needed to manage it.

“My son had Crohn’s disease, and I knew everything about that. I wish

I had known as much about addiction,” says Israel.

There are more options than traditional 30-day-treatment programs and 12-step programs. In addition to medication, there are support programs like SMART recovery, which provide attendees with tools based on the latest scientific research, as well as a worldwide community with self-empowering, sciencebased support groups.

A road of recovery is paved by many people – not just those in recovery. With the right support systems in place, a successful and sober life is possible.

Three tips to quit smoking a tobacco-free hour, day or weekend, before tackling longer-term goals.

• Find a replacement. It’s helpful to have new habits you can fall back on to help expunge cravings and put your mind towards something more positive -- whether that’s keeping your hands busy with a crafting project, or keeping your body active with running or yoga.

• Seek help. Free online resources

and telephone phone hotlines can provide health facts and tools to help you quit. These programs often include tools for friends of smokers who want to help someone quit.

Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Stay healthy, longer by saying “No” to tobacco.

(SPM Wire) May 31 is World No Tobacco Day, and a good time to think about quitting smoking and the use of other tobacco products.

Here are three tips for calling it quits.

• Take baby steps. When trying to quit any habit, thinking in the longterm can make your goal feel like an insurmountable challenge. Start with smaller, bite-sized challenges, such as

York softball team defeats Glenbard West

By Mike Miazga

Derkowski, Wojcik helping Dukes in pitching department

CORRESPONDENT

The York softball team moved its record to 9-7 overall with a recent 12-2 West Suburban Conference Silver Division win against Glenbard West.

The win also put York at 2-3 in WSC Silver play.

Through the team’s first 15 games, Kyra Kroll was leading the way with a .556 batting average to go with a .933 slugging percentage and a .630 on-base percentage. Izzy Smith was

hitting .440 with a .700 slugging percentage and a .509 on-base percentage. Katherine Karnatz was at .417 with a .667 slugging percentage and a .500 on-base percentage.

“We’ve had a lot of ladies contributing to the team and standing out,” said York coach Elizabeth Munn.

Munn said the team has been working on making adjustments to the better pitching that will be forthcoming on the schedule. “Our offense has been doing better with making adjustments to the better

pitchers. This is something we continue to work on,” she said. “The team is very young this year and learning, so we’re making strides every day in learning the new game and making adjustments needed to win games.

Munn also sees progress on the defensive end. “Our defense is shaping up and we continue to work on defensive plays and situations along with our throwing,” she said.

York has been aided of late by the pitching of Julia Derkowski and

Lauren Wojcik. “Julia and Lauren have been really impressive with their throwing,” said Munn. “Both are young, but with their second year on varsity now, that experience has seemed to really help them out.”

The Dukes are looking forward to tackling the remainder of their regular-season schedule. “We have made some adjustments and learned from games,” said Munn. “We will continue to improve. We have a very tough schedule ahead of us. We’re going to continue to strive to get a little better

each day.”

In the win against Glenbard West, York had 16 hits. Karnatz went 2-for5 with two runs scored. Jane Moran was 3-for-5 with two runs scored.

Mia Tran went 4-for-4 with four runs scored and two RBI. Kroll was 3-for-5 with three runs scored and three RBI. Madison Collins had a hit, a run scored and two RBI. Andrea Meagher had a hit and two RBI. Derkowski had a hit and an RBI. Moran doubled in the game, while Kroll had a triple.

Continuing her work to engage the community in the legislative process, state Rep. Deb Conroy, D-Villa Park, hosted a Civics 101 meeting at the Funky Java in Villa Park to educate residents on the work that goes into advocating on their behalf in Springfield.

“Engaging members of our community and listening to their thoughts and concerns is the most important aspect of my job as our state representative,” Conroy said. “The budget crisis continues to hurt families and businesses in my district. I hosted

this Civics 101 event to inform the community of ways they can engage in the legislative process and advocate with me on behalf of our community.”

Conroy has made passing a budget that protects working families, freezes property taxes and invests in local small businesses her top priority. Conroy’s Civics 101 events help residents understand how they can help push for legislation that Conroy advocates for on their behalf.
