The gala will be held at the Elmhurst Art Museum, beginning at 6 p.m. with a pre-reception in The Guild Hall featuring a performance by professional actor and soprano, Julie Sommer Peterson. Peterson is a B.F.A. of Musical Theater from Boston Conservatory and a 2010 graduate of York High School.

A chance to PIG OUT! DEE LONGFELLOW PHOTO Elmhurst Independent

Pictured here are the participants in the rib-eating contest held on Sunday, Sept. 3 at the ‘Cue for a Cause barbecue event to support the Elmhurst Walk-in Assistance Network (EWAN). Each rib-eater was given a rubber pig snout to wear on their nose, but most wore them on their heads instead. Behind the rib-eaters is EWAN Executive Director Jackie Crnkovich (with microphone) who organizes the entire event. At the far left is Jim Lawshe of Barbecue Jim’s (in apron) who served as the judge of the eating contest. Next to him in the black tee is Doug Beach, director of the Elmhurst College Jazz Band, which performed at the event. Beach’s own jazz performer Luke Stilwell (at the far end of the table) won the contest, eating 23 ribs — three ribs shy of two full slabs! More photos inside.

Villa Park resident arrested on terror charges filed in NY Truck driver accused of raising funds for ISIS, al-Nusrah Front Court in Chicago hours after his 6 a.m. arrest at his Villa Park home. He stood before the judge in a red-checkered shirt with his ankles shackled above red tennis shoes. Several relatives looked on from courtroom benches.

When the U.S. Magistrate Judge M. David Weisman asked if he understood the process by which he would likely be sent to Brooklyn, New York, to answer the charges, Khusanov responded: “I don’t understand what

this means. ... Can you explain in more detail?” The judge then did explain further.

In a two-count indictment unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, Khusanov is charged with one count of conspiracy to provide material support to foreign terrorists and one count of attempting to provide material support to foreign terrorists. Each count carries a maximum 15-year prison term.

Court papers supporting his deten-

tion argue Khusanov poses a danger to the community and is a risk to flee the United States, because he is a citizen of Uzbekistan and still has family in the Central Asian nation. Judge Weisman scheduled another hearing in Chicago for Sept. 7.

Filings link Khusanov to four others indicted in New York previously for being part of the same network, as well to two others who aspired to go to Syria. One, Abdurasul Juraboev, pleaded guilty in 2015. He allegedly

Monday-Friday 11am-3pm

The Elmhurst Park District Board held a regular meeting on August 28 at the district’s administrative office at 375 W. First Street. All seven board members attended the meeting.

There were no public comments.

Tobacco use regulations tightened up by amendment Board members voted unanimously to approve an ordinance amendment to the park district’s tobacco use regulations. The amendment prohibits tobacco use on all district property except the Sugar Creek Golf Course. Additionally, the ordinance amendment includes an exception to the tobacco ban for paid rental events at Wilder Mansion. The date for implementing and enforcing the ban will take place in conjunction with the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout on Nov. 16. The purpose of the Great American Smokeout is to encourage all smokers to choose that day to make a plan to quit smoking.

The district’s current policy prohibits smoking, including the use of e-cigarettes and any tobacco products, at all indoor facilities and

within 20 feet of any district building or facility entrance. Smoking and tobacco use is also prohibited in all park district vehicles, and within 20 feet of a playground. The current policy also prohibits smoking and tobacco use within 20 feet of a participant or spectator at an organized outdoor event, and within 20 feet of a concession serving area that’s part of a district facility.

Park district staff recommended to the board that the district use the range of fines consistent with the Smoke Free Illinois Act. That act calls for fines of between $100 and $250 for those found using tobacco on park district property.

Two homes bought by District to be demolished The board voted unanimously to approve an ordinance related to the demolition of the district-owned single family homes at 447 W. Armitage Ave. and 207 N. Hampshire Ave. The ordinance rejected a $32,600 bid

by Midway General Construction of Lansing as not a responsible bid.

The ordinance awarded the bid in the amount of $86,900 to American Demolition Corporation of Elgin.

The scope of work at each site includes the complete demolition of the houses and disposal of all debris.

The final restoration at each site will include, fill, compaction, grading and seeding. A total of three sealed

bids were returned for the project.

Midway General Construction failed to comply with the bid requirements and was deemed not a responsible bidder.

The park district board approved the purchase of both properties within the last 12 months. In its meeting on Oct. 11, 2016, the board approved the purchase of the property at 447 W Armitage Ave., for $292,500. The board approved a $415,000 purchase of property at 207 N. Hampshire Ave., at its Jan. 17 meeting.

The demolition of both homes is scheduled to take place between Sept. 25 and Oct. 13.

Plans discussed for 135 Palmer Drive property The meeting also included discussion of the board’s plans for the district-owned property at 135 Palmer Drive. About one year ago, the board approved the purchase of the property for about $1.8 million. The property consists of about 37,500 square feet. The site includes a two-story steel building constructed in 1961.

Earlier this year, the district hired Dewberry Architects to conduct a facility assessment and improvement plan for the property. Based on the assessment, the firm developed three options for consideration. In one option, the district could demolish the existing building, remove the parking area and create open green

space. That option has an estimated total cost of $590,000. The second option calls for the renovation of the existing two-story building at a cost of $5.3 million. The third option advises demolishing the existing building and constructing a 6,800 square foot, one-story building. That option would include a total estimated cost of $3.4 million.

Executive Director Jim Rogers told the board that staff is looking for direction to pursue the third option.

Rogers noted that staff would merely consider that option. If that option doesn’t come to fruition, the district could demolish the current building and create open space. Rogers and board members noted that if the district did construct a new building at the site, that structure could be the home of a new senior center. Board members directed Rogers and district staff to pursue the third option, with nothing set in stone as to what will transpire.

Touch-a-Truck takes place Saturday The meeting’s staff announcement segment noted that the district’s annual Touch-a-Truck event will take place from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Sept. 9, at Berens Park. The event will feature approximately 20 vehicles, including a helicopter.

The board will hold its next meeting on Sept. 11.

Hospital holds active threat educational exercise Prepares for emergency in case of a shooter or other offender

Elmhurst Hospital, in partnership with the Elmhurst Police and Fire Departments, held an Active Threat Education/Functional Exercise on the morning of Wednesday, Aug. 30. The drill was a precursor to a Full-Scale Active Threat Drill that will take place in the fall, which will also involve the Elmhurst Police and Fire Departments.

Staff were asked to participate in the exercise to give each employee the opportunity to learn how to use “RUN, HIDE, FIGHT” in their own area to be better prepared and to keep themselves and their patients safe.

An “active threat” refers to a person or persons coming into the hospital unauthorized with the intent of harming people, such as an armed shooter. In this particular case, the “drill” was a disgruntled employee attempting to cause harm in the Human Resources department.

Once the drill was announced, all the employees gathered in “huddles,” that is, met together at the supervisor’s workstation to determine the next course of action.

Elmhurst Police Sgt. Matt Himpelmann was on hand to explain the procedure in assisting during an active threat, pointing out the one of the biggest challenges is actually getting the police to the hospital.

“We’re in the center of town and you’re in the south part of the City, so right off the bat, we’re behind,” he said. “Sometimes the event is over before we arrive.

“Otherwise, we will have officers pour in from every possible entrance as fast as possible. At that point, the entire hospital is considered a crime scene. Our plan is to

sit in on a “huddle” in the Emergency Room, while Assistant Manager Deirdre Lumpkin explained what the staff would do next. They later found a large storage room that would comfortably hold all of the ER staff, where they could barricade themselves in.

Lumpkin spoke to the Independent about her own experience while working at another hospital.

“The worst thing I ever saw was after a big shoot-out between two rival gangs,” she said. “We had the leaders of both gangs at the hospital receiving treatment for their wounds — we were careful to keep them at opposite ends of the facility.”

She added that many times if there was an incident at a hospital, it was someone looking for drugs.

Deirdre Lumpkin (far right), assistant manager of Emergency Services for Elmhurst Hospital, speaks with the staff in a “huddle” during an Active Threat educational exercise that took place on Wednesday, What about the patients?

Then came the inevitable quesAug. 30. The team was advised to RUN, HIDE, FIGHT in the case of a suspected shooter, that is, run away, tion… what about the patients? find a place to barricade everyone in and if confronted, fight back.

give you another patient [meaning the criminal].”

He pointed out there were 32 doorways to the hospital, half of which are accessible to the public.

What staff are trained to do Employees were advised to plan ahead and find a safe place in advance of any threat where they can be barricaded in, if necessary. Anyone who can should bring along a cell phone to maintain communication.

The rule to follow is: RUN, HIDE, FIGHT. If confronted by an offender, Himpelmann advised that the worker should do anything possible to knock the offender to the

ground. Workers should also consider in advance what they could grab to break glass to potentially use to fend off a suspect. A heavy object could also be used to strike the person.

“If the suspect has a gun and you are able to strike that person to the ground, don’t pick up the gun, leave it there,” Himpelmann said. “Otherwise, when police arrive, they could mistake you for the shooter.”

He shared statistics that, in this type of situation, the people who get out of the building are most likely to survive, followed by those who are barricaded inside a closet or room.

“The worst thing you can do is hide under a desk and hope they won’t see you,” Himpelmann said.

“You’re just waiting to get shot.”

The team is in a huddle The Independent was invited to

It was explained that the patients were more or less on their own, but that staff needed to keep themselves safe in order to continue to serve the patients.

“If something happens to one of us, then who will help the patients?”

Lumpkin said. “We’ve been taught to take care of ourselves first, then tend to the patients when we can.

But that can be the hardest part because we are so used to NOT leaving the patients. In this case, we have to.”

Police said most of the time, active shooters coming into a hospital are not looking to harm the patients, they’re usually wanting something from the staff or the hospital itself.

Dr. Michelle Meziere, an ER physician and associate medical director of emergency medicine for Elmhurst Hospital, spoke with the Independent following the drill.

“People learn by doing,” Meziere said. “The best education is handson, that’s why these drills are so important to teach how to do a safety lock-down.”

These ER staff people listen while gathered in a “huddle” to receive instructions from their supervisor, Deirdre Lumpkin. The Active Threat educational exercise served to train staff on what to do if a shooter or other threat gains entry to the hospital. “People learn by doing,” said Dr. Michelle Meziere, an ER physician and associate medical director of emergency medicine for Elmhurst Hospital. “The best education is hands-on, that’s why these drills are so important to teach how to do a safety lock-down.”

Pictured here with hospital officials, Elmhurst Police Sergeant Matt Himpelmann spoke with the ER staff about how to respond in the case of an armed suspect during an Active Threat educational exercise which took place Wednesday, Aug. 30. “The worst thing you can do is hide under your desk,” Himpelmann explained. “You’re just waiting to get shot.”

On Saturday, Sept. 9 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, Berens Park will be the place to be to see, climb aboard and sound the horn of numerous vehicles at the Elmhurst Park District’s annual Touch-a-Truck event.

It will feature all kinds of cars, trucks and emergency vehicles that are used at the City by the Police, Fire and Public Works Departments as well as several others.The park is located at 483 Oaklawn Avenue, but enter the park off Walnut Street.

Weather-permitting, there may even be a helicopter sighting!

The event is free and open to the public.

Obituaries

EDWIN “ED” MILLET, 76 Edwin “Ed” Millet passed away in his home on Aug. 27, 2017, in Elmhurst. He was 76. Ed was born on June 1, 1941, in Chicago, to Nora and Ed Millet.

He studied at Loyola University and the University of Florida, Gainesville.

While attending the latter, he met the love of his life, Patricia “Pat” Cusack and they married in 1969. A few years (and a couple of kids) later, Ed accepted a job teaching Language Arts at Roosevelt Middle School in River Forest, IL that allowed the family to relocate to the Chicago area.

Ed was an enthusiastic and supportive teacher who always brought a great sense of humor to the classroom in addition to his encyclopedic knowledge of Shakespeare and Poe. Although he had many interests, reading and writing poetry were two of his greatest pleasures.

A lifelong Catholic, throughout the 1980s Ed annually attended retreats at the Abbey of Gethsemani and made his first Cursillo by the close of the decade.

The Cursillo movement helped Ed and Pat to renew their faith after the loss of their third child Meghan and they remained active within that movement for many years thereafter.

Ed is survived by his two children Jason (Joanne Otte) Millet and Therese Millet, granddaughters Tawni T. (Eric) Burknap and Alma Otte-Millet and his sister Edna (George) Beck.

Funeral services were held on Sat-

December 31, 1942, attaining the rank of Petty Officer, Signalman 3C, and was discharged on November 4, 1945. He received the American Area Campaign Medal, the European-African Middle Eastern Area Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, the World War II Victory Medal, and the Good Conduct Medal.

Warrant arrest

Aug. 27 Police said Michael Szczypta, 27, of Little Elm, Texas, came into the police department to turn himself in on an active warrant out of the DuPage County Sheriff’s office.

It looked so easy on Pinterest – as most Pinterest projects do. The title was ingenious: “Thirty-seven quick and easy ways to dress up your bathroom mirror.” The only hard part was picking just one. I was hooked – line and sinker.

Suddenly my bathroom mirror was lacking. It looked naked. Definitely in need of a frame.

I picked a fairly simple concept consisting of four wooden planks to flank the edges of the glass. When it comes to home projects, I excel at planning. My husband helps with execution. It was time to reel him in.

He proved a fairly simple catch.

He likes projects, especially when they involve wood and power tools – not necessarily in that order.

Before beginning, we stood in the bathroom, gazing at the mirror. There was a metal trim piece running along the bottom of the glass, which helped affix the mirror to the wall, so we had to leave it in place. The trim protruded outward, providing a bump for our project to work around – literally.

We were stumped by the bump. I suggested routering a groove in the backside of the wood, but my husband rejected that idea in favor of shims, which are thin wooden pieces used to bridge the gap between the wood and the wall and keep the boards from leaning kittywampus.

Now it was time to get to work.

I watched as my husband cut the wood. He watched as I spray painted it. Together we waited for the paint to dry.

The beautiful Pinterest frame attached to the mirror using adhesive-backed Velcro. We stuck the rough side of our Velcro to the mirror and the soft side to the wood. Easy, peasy.

When we attached the first plank to the mirror and stood back to admire our work we saw the problem immediately. The strips of Velcro were clearly visible, creating an appearance nothing short of tacky.

My husband looked at me. I looked at him. Piece by piece we began removing the extremely powerful adhesive-backed Velcro from the wood and mirror.

After much pulling and prodding of the sticky stuff, we were adhesive-free. While peeling Velcro, my husband had devised a plan for screwing the frame into place. That came next and went without a hitch.

Except for the screws, which were even more visible than the Velcro had been. We put putty in the screw indentations to create an even surface. Then we needed to paint to disguise the putty.

Trouble is we used spray paint

By

JILL PERTLER Contributor

(outside) before we assembled the planks into the frame (inside). I didn’t think spray painting in our bathroom was a good idea. For once my husband agreed with me.

The frame was a matte black. How complicated could matching it be?

In a word: extremely, tremendously, incredibly and considerably. The flat black craft paint we used to cover the screws was flatter than the matte black spray paint already on the boards, making the screws as obvious unwanted Velcro.

We had no choice. We had to use the spray paint.

But don’t go there just yet. I’m not foolish enough to use spray paint in the bathroom. I came up with a solution more creative (and foolish) than that.

I went outside with the paint and a small plastic disposable cup. I directed the nozzle into the cup and sprayed like an angry skunk. I kept at it until I had a small amount of black paint accumulated in the bottom of the cup. Then I went inside and brushed it on over the screws. One, by one – eight in all; the paint covered nicely.

I was putting the final touches on the eighth screw when the spray paint ate through the plastic and the bottom of the cup fell off onto the white counter, dispersing black paint onto both it and the sink.

I grabbed a nearby towel and tried to contain the flowing black liquid.

My husband ran to get rags. The paint on the surfaces dried instantaneously.

We tried countertop cleaner, rubbing alcohol and nail polish remover but still the black remained. Finally, I grabbed a white eraser sponge and you know what? Those things really are magic. The black disappeared and our project was complete.

Almost. Next weekend we’re going to tackle the mirror in the other bathroom. It’s going to be Pinterest perfect.

Wish us luck.

MANDIBULAR RETRUSION

While malocclusion (“bad bite”) may occur as the result of teeth that are out of their proper positions, they T. Boland canby alsoJeffrey arise as a consequence of jaws Orthodontic thatLicensed are misshapen or outSpecialist of position.

For instance, retrusion of the lower jaw may occur when the growth rate of the two jaws is disproportionate.

To correct the abnormal positioning of teeth that occurs as a result, the orthodontist must address the underlying cause. This usually entails placing a growth-modifying appliance on the lower jaw, which enables it to match the size of the upper jaw. This jaw-modification technique is best accomplished while a child is still growing, so it is best that a child’s bite be evaluated by age eight.

A severe malocclusion can contribute to several serious dental and physical conditions such as digestive difficulties, TMJ, periodontal disease and severe tooth decay.

It is important to seek orthodontic treatment early to avoid expensive restorative procedures in the future.

FOCUS ON

VISION

by Dr. Mark Skowron

THWARTING A THIEF

The insidious eye disease known as Glaucoma has widely been referred to as the “silent thief of sight” because it strikes without warning, is usually painless and is the world’s leading cause of preventable blindness. Diagnosis of glaucoma can only be made with an eye examination and is based on three factors: an increase in eye pressure, changes or loss of peripheral (side) vision and signs of damage to the optic nerve. Once the diagnosis is made it is possible to manage the disease with medication and/or surgery. Without a diagnosis those with Glaucoma may lose their vision before they ever know that there is a problem. Depending on the severity of the disease, treatment for glaucoma can involve the use of medications, conventional (bladed) surgery, laser surgery or a combination of these treatments. At SKOWRON EYE CARE we have invested in the latest technology that enables us to not only treat and manage Glaucoma, but allows us to diagnose it years earlier than with prior conventional methods. The risk of Glaucoma increases after age 40. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is to preserve your vision.

Jarrett Payton’s PROJECT: NO BULL comes to Elmhurst On Saturday, Sept. 9, Jarrett Payton will present his program, PROJECT: NO BULL, to Elmhurst families at Sandburg Middle School, beginning at 9 a.m. Sponsored by the Elmhurst Commission on Youth, this is an in-school anti-bullying program featuring personal appearances from Jarrett Payton, which includes strong messages and a lasting effect that seeks to create and maintain safe environments for our youth.

Through PROJECT: NO BULL, all forms of bullying will be addressed, including cyber-bullying.

Drawing from the latest research, the majority of the program highlights the role of bystanders and encourages young people to speak out if and when they see bullying occur, online or in person. ​Jarrett gave a presentation to District 205 middle school students on Aug. 25 at Bryan and Sandburg, and on Aug. 29 at Churchville. Jarrett is the son of the late Walter Payton, a Hall of Fame running back with the Chicago Bears in the 1980s.

Bullying By The Numbers 22% of students ages 12-18 were bullied in high school during the 2012-13 school year 14% were made fun of, called names or insulted 13% were the subject of rumors 7% were cyberbullied 6% were pushed, shoved, tripped or spit on 5% were excluded from activities 4% were threatened with harm 2% were forced to do things they didn’t want to do 2% were had property destroyed 18% of boys and girls were bullied two to three times or more a month.

Boys on average are 1.7 times more likely to bully than girls.

Boys are 2.5 times as likely to bully as well as be bullied.

Middle schoolers are more likely to be bullied. Likelihood decreases through high school.

92% of students in grades 3-5 said they felt sorry for those who are bullied, but did not take action.

More information is available at stopbullying.gov Statistics provided by U.S. Department of Education, Dept. of Justice, others

Jarrett Payton (pictured here, center) recently presented his program on bullying called PROJECT: NO BULL at Bryan Middle School. Afterwards, he joined some students on stage for a photo. Pictured are (from left): Bryan Principal Jacquie Discipio, Connor Dorner, Matt Sutter, Payton, Mason Balfanz, Ainslee Cook, and Ella Kennedy. Payton also visited Sandburg and Churchville to share his message. He will offer his program to the public on Saturday, Sept. 9 at 9 a.m. at Sandburg.

It’s just a game of Cookie Face Bryan Middle School Principal Jacquie Discipio (far right, standing) got Jarrett Payton (far left) to participate in a game of “Cookie Face” with the Bryan staff, pictured here.

Players have to jiggle the cookie from the forehead to the mouth without using their hands. Jarrett lost to vocal music teacher Jessica Tatevosian (far right, seated). He came to the school to present his PROJECT: NO BULL program about bullying, which will be performed for the public on Saturday, Sept. 9 at 9 a.m. at Sandburg Middle School.

the defendant be terminated from the Program, the case will be returned to the court for a sentencing hearing on the charges.

“Nationally, approximately sixty eight percent of convicted offenders successfully complete probation,” Berlin said. “When compared to that number, a success rate of nearly ninety-five percent for participants in our Program is outstanding. What I find particularly encouraging is that this is a win/ win situation for the participant and the community. The participant benefits by avoiding a felony conviction on their record and the community benefits with the participant having the opportunity to become a productive member of society. A nearly 95% success rate is an extremely strong indicator that diversion programs work.”

Since its inception, the State’s Attorney’s Office has received approximately 285 applications for admittance to the Program of which 164 were approved. A review of the first 100 completions reveals that 94.37% of participants have not been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony within one year of completion of the Program. Currently there are 30 active participants in the Program.

Two young boys at last year’s Touch A Truck shared the dream of driving this truck. This year’s Touch a Truck takes place on Saturday, Sept. 9 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at Berens Park. The whole family is invited to get up close to fire trucks, dump trucks, police cars, an ambulance and more.

Weather permitting, a helicopter may even make an appearance. Food will be available from Brewpoint Coffee, Cupcakes for Courage and Barbeque Jim’s Catering. This loud and exciting event offers truckloads of fun, so be sure to come early. Presented by Edward-Elmhurst Health and The Schiller Team.

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin announced that the Office today recognized the 100th successful completion of the the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office’s Pre-Trial Diversion Program. Successful completion of the Program is defined as a participant who satisfactorily completed the Program and did not receive another misdemeanor or felony conviction within one year of completion.

In August, 2012, the State’s Attorney’s Office unveiled the new program as an opportunity for firsttime, non-violent offenders to keep a felony conviction from being permanently entered on their record.

To be considered for the Program, participants must undergo a thorough qualification process. Once qualified, the participant is required to plead guilty to the alleged offense.

Upon successful completion of the Program, the State’s Attorney’s Office will then move to vacate the guilty plea and dismiss the pending charges against the defendant.

If, however, a participant fails to successfully complete the Program, the State’s Attorney’s Office will move to terminate the defendant from the Program. If a judge orders

Ronald McDonald House charities help ease medical transfers for young patients First set of welcome bags for kids delivered to Elmhurst Hospital Aug. 11

When a child is hospitalized it’s stressful for the whole family. Complex cases that require a transfer to a second hospital can add more stress, especially if the parents plan to stay at the hospital overnight.

Edward-Elmhurst Health is easing the transition for families whose child is being transferred from Elmhurst Hospital’s Emergency Department or Pediatrics Department to a higher level of pediatric care at Edward Hospital in Naperville, including its Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & Northern Indiana (RMHC-CNI) is supporting this effort by providing “welcome bags”

for young patients and their families.

The process begins with a conversation between the nursing staff and family at Elmhurst Hospital.

“When a transfer is necessary it usually means something unexpected has happened, so the families are anxious about what’s next. We tell them about Edward, and that we are all part of the same organization,” said Lucette Gregory, RN, clinical coordinator of the Pediatric Inpatient unit at Elmhurst.

The inception of the welcome bags Welcome bags were started with an idea from Diane Long, RN, director of Children’s Services at Edward, who requested input from Brittany Rhyne, manager of the Ronald McDonald Family Room at Edward, on what else could be done to reduce stress for these families.

See MCDONALD, Page 22

Pictured are (from left): Lucette Gregory, BSN, RN, Assistant Manager, Pediatrics, Elmhurst Hospital; Lisa Mitchell, VP, Programs & Services, RMHC-CNI; Adam Johnson, Service Line Director, Emergency Medicine & Urgent Care Services, Elmhurst Hospital; Alison Slaney, RN, Pediatric Special Procedure Area, Edward Hospital and Deanna Robin, RN, Pediatric Nurse Navigator, Edward Hospital. The first set of bags were delivered to Elmhurst Hospital on Aug. 11.

County Coroner Richard Jorgenson, who indicated that veteran suicide has been under-reported since Illinois death certificates do not include information on the history of U.S. military service.

Senate Bill 1693 is the second measure signed into law that originated from Cullerton’s Veterans Suicide Taskforce hearings. The Illinois

Veterans Suicide Task Force was formed by a measure Cullerton led in 2014. As co-chairman Cullerton held six hearings throughout the state to investigate the causes of veteran suicide and released a report to the General Assembly in December of 2016.

The Federal Department of Veterans Affairs and Army state that 10% to 18% of returning veterans are

likely to have Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after they return.

Some studies suggest that suicide risk is higher among those who experienced trauma due to the symptoms of PTSD. Senate Bill 1693 passed the Senate and House with bipartisan support.

This new law goes into effect on January 1, 2018.

Be silly, be honest, be kind, and post jokes that make people groan

311 North York Street Elmhurst, IL 60126 (630) 833-1166 www.DentistryForKids.com 274672

If you follow me on Facebook, you know that I have been on a roll of posting corny jokes, the play-on-words kind of cheesy humor that everyone comments “GROAN!” with an eye roll. (And then they share.)

For example: “Can you write with a broken pencil? Well, you can try, but it’s pointless.”

“Did you hear the joke about the roof?

Never mind, it’s over your head.”

“What did one elevator say to the other elevator? I think I’m coming down with something.”

Are those the funniest jokes in the world?

No. Yet little things go a long way. A silly something posted on social media brings a moment of levity and that is always welcome. It has surprised me how often people privately thank me, with a heartfelt depth of gratitude, for my positive posts, including the groaner kind of jokes.

Q: Why is a moon rock tastier than an Earth rock?

A: Because it’s a little meteor.

Q: What do you call a fake noodle?

A: An impasta!

Q: Why did the man with one hand cross the road?

A: To get to the second hand shop.

We all need a little humor, a sliver of a bright spot in the day. Posting the jokes makes me smile. Reactions are just the icing on my cornball cake.

Q: Why did Shirley go out with a prune?

A: Because she couldn’t find a date.

Q: Why was there thunder and lightning in the lab?

A: The scientists were brainstorming.

By

KELLY SIMMONS Columnist

Q: What are the security guards at the Samsung store?

A: Guardians of the Galaxy.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Be silly. Be honest. Be kind.”

I say, okay.

Ralph is revered to be wise and there is wisdom in silliness, there is hope in humor.

There is kindness in harmless jokes. There is community in shared laughter (and poking fun at me for the endless groaners.)

Did you hear about the two antennas that met on a roof, fell in love and got married?

The ceremony wasn’t much, but the reception was excellent.

If you have the opportunity to share a silly to make someone smile, go for it. If you want a list of punny jokes, hit me up.

And please send me yours.

Okay, one more: A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, “I’ll serve you, but don’t start anything.”

IC Catholic Prep football team loses to St. Laurence Knights winning streak snapped at 15

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The IC Catholic Prep football team saw its 15-game winning streak come to an end after a 26-23 non-conference loss to St. Laurence at Lewis Stadium at the Plunkett Athletic Complex in Elmhurst.

The loss put the defending state champions at an even 1-1 on the season. The Knights hadn’t lost a game before the St. Laurence contest dating back to the end of the 2015 season.

Quarterback Luke Ricobene went 11-for-21 for 108 yards and two touchdowns. Junior Khalil Saunders completed 4 of 7 passes for 47 yards.

On the ground, Lazerick Eatman ran 14 times for 45 yards. Ricobene ran seven times for 63 yards and Saunders ran five times for eight

yards and had a touchdown.

Khali Saunders caught five passes for 42 yards. Daniel Gibbons caught a touchdown pass, while CJ West caught five passes for 56 yards and a touchdown.

Khalil Saunders caught four passes for 36 yards.

Defensively, sophomore Kevin Cooke had 16 tackles and one tackle for loss. Kemon Reese had 15 tackles, while Khali Saunders had 11 tackles. Dylan Packer recorded one quarterback sack. Khalil Saunders had one interception. Eatman and Ricobene each had one pass deflection. Ricobene ran in a pair of twopoint conversions.

The Knights return to action Friday at home against Elmwood Park in a Metro Suburban Conference crossover game.

York girls cross-country team loaded with talent Dukes girls golf team wins three more matches

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The 2016 York girls cross-country team qualified for the Class 3A state finals in Peoria.

The good news for the Dukes is the majority of that team is back with only two seniors graduating from the group.

Second-year coach Lauren DeAngelis, whose team placed fourth in the tough West Suburban Conference Silver Division in 2016, welcomes back seniors Katherine Tomaska and Erin Davies, along with juniors Sarah May, Anna Morley and Francesca Mordini, as well as sophomores Emma Kern, Lydia Hickey, Maya Curry and Maggie Clink. Freshman Gia Stephan is a key newcomer to the squad.

“The team has worked incredibly hard over the summer and has really come together as a family,” said DeAngelis. “The entire team is extremely focused, determined and dedicated going into the season.”

DeAngelis added her runners have been zeroing in on tempo runs and

incorporating hill training.

“The overall atmosphere of the team is very positive and each girl is focused on improving on all levels,” she said. “As a team, we have talked a lot about goal setting with both long-term and short-term goals.”

In terms of the goals, DeAngelis said the team wants to improve upon its 2016 post-season showings.

“The team is focused on improving our WSC finishes on all three levels,” she said. “The varsity squad is focused not only on qualifying for state, but to perform at a higher level than they did in 2016.”

York girls golf The York girls golf program has been busy in recent weeks. York scored a 199-215 West Suburban Conference win against Oak Park-River Forest at Oak Park Country Club.

Katie Wegmann was the medalist with a 42. Jenna Koeppen shot 49, while Haley Blattner shot 50. Bella Bartolone, Mia Spedale and Cassie Sika each shot 56.

York downed Addison Trail 169202 in WSC play at Sugar Creek in Villa Park. Wegmann was the medalist with a 38. Bartolone had a 43,

Timothy Christian girls volleyball team picks up pair of wins Trojans kick off conference schedule on positive note against Ridgewood

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Timothy Christian girls volleyball team is off and running.

The Trojans started the 2017 season with a pair of wins against Westmont and Ridgewood.

In a 25-18, 25-19 non-conference victory against Westmont, Tracy Westra had seven kills and 17 assists. Heidi Westra had five kills, three blocks and 10 digs. Maggie Troxel had seven kills and one ace and Olivia Schuringa had four kills.

“Westmont was a good first match for us,” said Timothy coach Scott Piersma. “We had some ups and downs, but that’s to be expected for a first match.

We had a good response and run after some pushback from Westmont. It was

good to see us not get caught in lulls.”

The Trojans were then 25-12, 25-10 winners against Ridgewood in their Metro Suburban Conference Red Division opener.

Tracy Westra had 22 assists and five digs. Heidi Westra had six kills and three blocks. Troxel had seven kills, two aces and five digs. Schuringa had five kills and Emily DeBoer had five kills.

“We enjoy going to Ridgewood.

They get better every year,” said Piersma. “We were able to see a lot of girls play who got out there and helped out.”

Tracy Westra is in her third year on the varsity now and returns as Timothy’s setter for a second year in a row.

“She runs the floor and is a quiet leader for us,” said Piersma. “Everybody

knows to follow her lead.”

Rachel Stoll returns as another three-year varsity player at defensive specialist. “We might have Rachel swing on the right side as well,” said Piersma. “It’s good to have her experience in the back row.”

DeBoer is another returning starter in the middle. “It’s nice to have Emily’s height with the loss of Ava (Venema) and Kendra (Teune),” said Piersma.

Abygale Ahn is back for her second year at the libero position. She splits time between the volleyball and girls tennis teams.

“The two programs do a good job of sharing and communicating about Abigail,” said Piersma.

Newcomers to the team include We-

stra’s sister, Heidi, a junior. “She’s kind of able to do it all,” said Piersma. “We have her as the other middle opposite of Emily and she played right side in club. She’s athletic enough and smart enough and quick to pick up the middle spot and not miss a beat.”

Troxel is one of the team’s pin hitters. “We had a hole to fill at outside hitter and Maggie has done a nice job of stepping in there,” said Piersma. “She had 14 kills in her first two matches. That’s pretty good for a junior playing varsity for the first time.

She’s a nice addition to the team.”

Piersma said despite the loss of two key net players, the Trojans still will be strong on that front. “It’s the same stuff from last year,” he said. “We have height and we have power up at the

net. Our big thing is we need to mold together a couple of crews here at the beginning. The juniors haven’t really played at this level and we’re throwing them into the mix. We have to make sure we’re communicating and are on the same page and are helping each other out. Tracy is the leader out there and she knows she has to take charge.”

Timothy has only five seniors on the roster. “If we can stay on the same page and work together we will be in some good spots this season,” said Piersma.

Timothy is looking for its seventh conference title in a row (either outright or shared).

“It’s going to be tougher this year,” said Piersma. “Chicago Christian is really strong and returns a lot of players.

It will be a battle against them.”

“Strong play on a good course is a nice way to come back from a close loss (to North Shore Country Day),” said Sujack. “While Connon and Charlie’s scores were impressive, I liked that each was able to follow a bogey or double with a birdie. Charlie did it twice. Nothing seems to faze them. With Hoff (Hoffman) beginning to tap into his talent and Carp (Carpanzano) stepping up in just his second varsity match, we’re becoming a group of very determined young men and it’s fun to watch.”

Our inexperience at the back of the lineup cost us a little bit with some unforced errors, but the potential and the work ethic are there. This is a motivated group.”

Hinsdale man sentenced to 70 years for 2014 Bloomingdale murder DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin announced recently that Jeffrey Keller, 54, formerly of Hinsdale, has been sentenced to 70 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for the 2014 shooting death of then 37-year-old Nathan Fox of Bloomingdale. On May 26, 2017, a jury found Keller guilty following a six-day-long trial in front of Judge George Bakalis. On January 16, 2015, Keller appeared in Bond Court and was denied bond. He has remained in custody since that time.

On December 22, 2014, at approximately 9:34 p.m., officers with the Bloomingdale Police Department responded to a call of a person shot at 237 Tamarack Lane, Fox’s residence he shared with his girlfriend. Upon their arrival, officers found Fox in his vehicle parked in his garage suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, one to his right wrist and one to his left shoulder in which the bullet had traveled through his body. Fox was immediately transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

An investigation into the murder led by the Bloomingdale Police Department revealed that at some time prior to the shooting, Keller went to Fox’s home, unscrewed an outside light bulb and waited outside for him to return. When Fox returned to his home, Keller approached Fox after he pulled into the garage and shot him just as he opened the door to exit his vehicle. After murdering Fox, Keller then fled the scene.

“In Jeffrey Keller’s mind, Nate Fox was a threat that had to be eliminated,” Berlin said. “So, three days before Christmas 2014, Jeffrey Keller’s evil plot of eliminating Nate Fox, a man he had never met yet considered a romantic rival, came to fruition.

“In an act of extreme cowardice, Keller went to Nate’s home, and waited in the shadows for Nate to return. When Nate arrived home, Keller ambushed him before he could even get out of his car, shooting him two times, and fled. Following the murder, Mr. Keller attempted to cover his tracks, but thanks to the outstanding police work by the Bloomingdale Police Department, he was taken into custody approximately three weeks later. Keller’s defense for the murder was that Nate Fox was accidentally killed in a struggle. The jury however, rejected Mr. Keller’s absurd attempt to avoid responsibility for the cold-blooded murder of Nate Fox. …It is my sincerest hope Nate Fox’s family and friends will now be able to gain some measure of closure with the knowledge that the man who killed Nate Fox will spend the rest of his life behind bars.”

Keller will be required to serve 100% of his sentence before being eligible for parole.

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin announced last week that former Wheaton College Professor Donald Ratcliff, 66, formerly of Warrenville, has been sentenced to three years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for violating his conditions of sex offender probation by downloading a movie featuring images of naked children. On February 25, 2014, Ratcliff was sentenced to 48 months sex offender probation for possessing child pornography, a Class 2 Felony.

On May 18, the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office filed a petition to Revoke Ratcliff’s Probation. In the petition, the State alleged that on April 23, 2017, Ratcliff had accessed a website containing sexually stimulating images of minors in violation of conditions of his probation. On June 8, 2017 Ratcliff was found guilty of violating conditions of his parole.

“As one of the conditions of his probation, Mr. Ratcliff was ordered by the Court not to possess or view any material deemed sexually stimulating,” Berlin said. “Simply put, he could not help himself and soon found himself viewing the same type of repulsive images that had already earned him forty-eight months of probation.”

Ratcliff will be required to serve 50% of his sentence before being eligible for parole.

A Monthly Guide to a Fitter, More Healthier You Edward summer camp helps kids with asthma and their parents breathe easier The camp sessions were led by Vermeland and respiratory therapists Kayle Brunson and Kimberly Ytsen, with a hand from two teenage guests.

One of them had a special connection to the kids – she was a Camp Breathe Easy participant several years ago.

A camp highlight was a pep talk on exercise and nutrition by Jarrett Payton, former professional football player, sports broadcaster, motivational speaker and son of the late NFL great, Walter Payton.

Fitness specialist Victor ValentinHe from Edward-Elmhurst Health & Fitness, also shared tips.

At the end of the week, a respiratory therapist gave a pulmonary function test to each camper. The

parents received a checklist summarizing their child’s skills and areas that might benefit from extra attention.

“This is the first year I’ve been involved in this program, but I am really passionate about asthma education,” said Vermeland. “Next year, I hope to reach out not only to kids with asthma, but also to those at higher risk of the disease.”

To find a specialist in pediatric pulmonology, visit www.eehealth. org/find-a-doctor or call the EdwardElmhurst Physician Referral line at (630) 527-6363. To learn more about pediatric asthma, visit eehealth.org/ services/children/common-pediatricissues.

About 1 in 10 children has asthma, a chronic lung disease that irritates and narrows the airways. It can lead to missed days of school, limits on activities, and even in some cases, life-threatening episodes.

Fortunately, good asthma management can help most kids with asthma lead a virtually normal life, including being physically active.

“The key to keeping these children out of the hospital is education,” said Michelle Vermeland, RRT, a respiratory therapist at Edward Hospital.

“And if you can make the lesson fun, it’s more likely to stick.”

This line of thinking is what led to Camp Breathe Easy, a program that Edward Hospital runs each summer for 7- to 11-year-old kids with asthma. The 2017 Camp was held July 31 – Aug. 4, on the Edward campus in Naperville. The camp is funded by the Edward Foundation.

One of the camp’s popular and physically active learning activities was the obstacle course. In order to advance from challenge to challenge, the kids had to correctly answer one of the questions based on the day’s lessons.

Another activity tied in to kids’ fascination with all things gross.

Campers learned about mucous while making a concoction out of corn starch and water – coloring options were white, yellow or green.

Better looking products came out of other craft activities, such as tie-dyed tee shirts.

Both drivers involved in crash charged with DUI Bond set at $150,000 in felony case DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin recently announced that two drivers involved in a crash on Sunday, Aug. 27, have both been charged with Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI).

On Aug. 27, officers with the Oakbrook Terrace Police Department responded to a call regarding a two-vehicle crash on Roosevelt Road. It is alleged that the driver of one of the vehicles, Sean Maroney, 20, of Chadon, Ohio, was driving alone in his vehicle the wrong way when he crashed head-on into a second vehicle driven by Molly Paige, 25, of 21W020 Mayfair Lane, Lombard.

Paige had three occupants in the car at the time of the crash. Everyone involved in the crash was taken to a local hospital where they received treatment for their injuries.

Following an investigation, Maroney was charged with one count of Aggravated DUI, a Class 4 Felony, while Paige was charged with one count of Misdemeanor DUI. Maroney appeared in Bond Court this afternoon where Judge Michael Reidy set bond at $150,000 with 10% to apply.

“As I have said time and time again, all DUI crashes are 100% avoidable,” Berlin said. “People have got to learn that if you have been drinking, don’t think you are alright to drive. Call a taxi or call

a friend – you’ll thank yourself the next morning. Thankfully, no one sustained life-threatening injuries in this crash.”

Maroney’s next court appearance is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 25, in front of Judge Robert Miller for arraignment.

Members of the public are reminded that these complaints contain only charges and are not proof of the defendants’ guilt.
