State to begin making payments to universities, colleges, students Funding includes MAP grants for students

By Dee Longfellow For The Independent

VILLA PARK — On Friday, April 22, the Illinois General Assembly passed legislation to partially fund state universities and communities colleges to avoid further costs and possible clos-

ings. The funding includes for Monetary Award Program (MAP) grants for college students. Governor Rauner is expected to sign the legislation.

Upon passage of the legislation, Illinois State Comptroller Leslie Munger issued a statement: “It is heartening that the Governor and legislative leaders have come together to authorize funding for our universities, community colleges and student MAP grants. I have directed my staff

to begin processing payments immediately, giving top priority to students and the institutions that are suffering the most.

“The $600 million in funding for this legislation comes from the state’s Education Assistance Fund, which today has $354 million on hand. Those dollars will allow us to immediately pay student MAP grants and work closely with our universities and community colleges to ensure they have the resources

n Saturday, April 16, more than 100 people gathered at Harry Caray’s Restaurant for dinner and a private concert by the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra to celebrate the 20th year of leadership and direction of conductor Dr. Stephen Alltop. After a short cocktail reception, the orchestra delighted guests with a collection of tunes from Broadway musicals including Carousel, Oklahoma and, Dr. Alltop’s favorite, My Fair Lady. Guests in the room could be seen either lipsyncing the words or nodding along to the familiar songs.

Elmhurst Mayor Steve Morley served as Master of Ceremonies and began by presenting a Mayor’s Proclamation, des-

ignating April 16 “Stephen Alltop Day” in the City of Elmhurst.

“I’ve never had a ‘day’ before,” Alltop said after the applause had stopped.

Morley noted that he and Alltop were both conductors, but of a different sort.

“The difference is, you have a baton,” the mayor said. “I have a mallet. You lift people up and bring out the music. I am usually shouting people down!”

A short history of the Symphony was given, noting that in 1961, the Elmhurst Community Orchestra, as it was known then, held its first concert. The first director and conductor to take the baton for the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra was Dale Clevenger, who led the group from 1981 to 1995.

Guests were given the gift of a CD of ESO selections and were urged to attend the upcoming concert on Saturday, May 7 at 7 p.m. at Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church, 149 W. Brush Hill Rd. It will be the final concert of the season.

Munger urges legislators to finish their job; includes their pay with other obligations ‘We must wait in line with everyone else,’ Comptroller says

By Dee Longfellow For The Independent

ADDISON — Last week, Illinois State Comptroller Leslie Geissler Munger announced that compensation for Illinois’ General Assembly members and Constitutional Officers --

herself included -- will be treated the same as all other government payments and delayed due to the state’s $7.8 billion bill backlog.

Now in its 10th month of operating without a budget, the state is left to pay bills under

a patchwork of court orders, consent decrees and statutory authorizations. That means the state will likely dig another $6.2 billion deeper in the hole this year, making its fiscal condition even worse, which will only serve to exacerbate

cash flow troubles and lengthen payment delays, according to Munger.

Munger said it is appropriate for elected leaders to face delays as well. With families, social service organizations, schools and businesses waiting months on end for promised payments from the state, it’s only fair to include elected officials.

“Our social service network is being dismantled, mass layoffs are occurring and small businesses across Illinois are awaiting payments for services they’ve already provided,” she said. “As our cash crunch grows in the coming months, it is only appropriate that the unfair prioritization of payments to elected leaders ends.

“We are all in this together, we all will wait in line.”

The salaries for the state’s six Constitutional Officers and 177 General Assembly members

total approximately $1.3 million a month, or $15.6 million annually, Munger said. Elected officials are typically paid at the end of the month. Munger said her office will still process the monthly vouchers, but the warrants will then wait with other payments before being released as cash becomes available.

State payments are currently delayed two months at the minimum, unless they are declared “severe hardship.” The wait time will only grow in the summer and fall, as those are typically months, which bring lower revenues to the state.

“It is the right thing to do,” Munger said. “And if this action helps bring all sides together to pass a balanced budget and end this unnecessary and devastating hardship to our state, that is an added benefit.

“Illinois needs a balanced budget. It is well past time that we get it done.”

State Senator Tom Cullerton (D-Villa Park) is pictured here with Illinois State Capitol Police investigator Steven Speeks and his police dog, Quinn. Cullerton helped pass the Police Dog Retirement Act through the Senate, which will require retiring police dogs to be offered to their primary handlers before pursuing other means of adoption. The bill now heads to the House.

Senator Tom Cullerton passes measure to keep retired police dogs with officers

241215

SPRINGFIELD — Working to keep retired police dogs with their handlers, State Senator Tom Cullerton (D–Villa Park) helped pass Senate Bill 3129, which creates the Police Dog Retirement Act. “As a dog owner myself, I recognize there is a special connection formed between an officer and their dog,” Cullerton said. “This is common sense legislation. There is a special bond between an officer and police dogs. It’s important that we honor this relationship.”

Senate Bill 3129 requires a retiring police dog to be offered to the primary handler of the dog. If the officer doesn’t wish to keep the dog it can be offered to another officer or employee, a nonprofit organization or a no-kill animal shelter.

“We need to take advantage of this opportunity to protect the special bond formed between an officer and their police dog,” said Michele Kasten of the Illinois Federation of Dog Clubs and Owners.

Cullerton believes this is not only a way to honor the service of Illinois police officers but also a cost-effective way to give police canines a safe and responsible home.

Senate Bill 3129 passed the Senate with bipartisan support and now heads to the Illinois House of Representatives.

ies are drawn to make if more fair for voters and to give them a greater voice while selecting their elected officials,” said Willis. “I believe this measure is a major first step in bringing some much needed reform to the process.”

The proposal, if passed by a 3/5 majority of the House and

Senate, would appear on the November ballot for voters to decide. If approved by voters, when the redistricting process begins after the next census, the chief justice of the Illinois Supreme Court and the most senior justice of the opposite political party would appoint an eight-member Independent

Redistricting Commission.

If the commission were unable to agree to a map by the deadline, the justices would appoint a ninth member. The commission would be required to hold at least 15 public hearings throughout the state before adopting a map and to issue a report explaining how

its approved map meets the requirements of the U.S. and Illinois constitutions.

“We need to remove politicians from the equation when it comes to redistricting,” said Willis. “This plan is a common sense approach that will help to protect communities and increase the power of voters.”

An overdue message to my neighbors T

hank you and I’m sorry.

I should have said this earlier – and repeated it many times over the years.

To the neighbors on the left and right, kitty corner, in front and behind, and perhaps a few houses beyond that: you’ve all been infinitely patient with my brood.

This morning while filling my coffee cup, I glanced out the window, which overlooks one neighbor’s yard, and noticed two errant tennis balls lingering in their grass. This elicited one of my deep, instinctive mom sighs. As far as I know my neighbors do not play tennis.

My boys do.

Today it was tennis balls, but on any given day any number of items could end up on the wrong side of the fence. Basketballs, soccer balls, golf balls and baseballs all have a ten-

dency to roll outside the lines of our property limits – and are kindly tossed back or fetched by us in what is not always the most timely of manners.

Thankfully the balls have always landed in the grass and not gone through a window (so far). I consider myself lucky on that account. Not breaking a window is definitely worth a dose or two of parental gratitude.

As are empty and abandoned juice pouches and candy wrappers in the hedges (she said with her best jest). I guess I can

rest assured my kids are staying hydrated. On the other hand, thank you, neighbors, for putting up with empty juice pouches and candy wrappers that you did not drink or eat.

I also apologize for my family’s habit of ignoring borders during raucous games of hiden-seek and ghost in the graveyard. Oh, sure, my kids could play within the confines of our yard, but spreading the game throughout the neighborhood heightens the experience – for the kids, but probably not the neighbors.

I’m sorry if ever a lily or hosta or tomato plant has been trampled upon during a feisty round of kick the can, because I’m sure my offspring are as oblivious to the garden in your yard as they are to the one in mine.

One day I will have pristine

flowerbeds, but right now I am thankful during the times they unplug and play outside, the old fashioned way. I find joy in their squawks and squeals, but I realize not everyone might react this way. Thank you for tolerating the squawks and squeals.

I also assume my neighbors consider it a bonus (said with as much sarcasm as I can muster) when after a night of boisterous play various items of apparel – flip flops, jackets and the occasional T-shirt – are scattered and discarded in yards other than our own as a heated game required the speed that can only be attained with bare feet or a bare chest.

I send my deep regrets for that time (make that multiple times) some young member of my family picked apples from your tree (without asking permission to do so). I apologize

and send my thanks for the apples. They made a great pie, which I did not regret.

While we’re on the subject of fruit, you know how the old saying goes: You can pick your neighbors apples, but you can’t pick your neighbors. In that regard, they are like family.

You may not pick them, or they you, but you are stuck with each other for the long haul – or at least until one of you moves.

So far most of my neighbors haven’t moved. I guess I’ll take that as a good sign.

Make your place your own and don’t worry about convention

T

hat should be standard advice, but for many people make decisions on their home based on resale or what is “proper.” The only proper thing to do is to make your house your home.

Knock out walls. Paint your living room purple. Wallpaper the ceilings so they look stars and the moon.

I once knew a gal who rearranged her house making the living room her bedroom. Or maybe it was the dining room. I don’t recall, but our colleagues thought she was nutsy. I thought she was creative and it was her house. She can do whatever she wants.

Your castle, you make the rules. And the rooms. When it does come time to sell, you can shift most things back. You can slap on neutral paint or let the new owner do it. Realtors used

Kelly Simmons COLUMNIST

to tell everyone to go with neutral color on walls and carpets, and now vanilla homes lack appeal.

My hubby and have shifted room conventions the entire time we have lived here. The upper front bedroom was originally my office. Now it is a guest room. The lower level has been Boy Gaming Headquarters, all-purpose party room, my office, my prince’s art studio.

The bedroom down there has been a bedroom, a living room, a guest room, and now a bed/

computer room. The extra room has been a bedroom, computer room, stained glass studio. We make a room suit the highest need at the time.

Last weekend, we asked my son to help move some furniture.

Unfazed, he asked, “What crazy idea does Mom have now?”

Our sunroom is our favorite room. It was our TV room and then a traditional sunroom with a funky table and chair set (very Picasso-ish), amazing plants, love seat. It is a reading room, a room with a view of the river and the woods and the critters.

Very peaceful and tons of great natural light.

The lower level is fully exposed with plenty of windows and light too, but there is something about our sunroom; we love it. So I suggested my hubby move his art studio up to this pretty spot.

Hence the need for my son’s muscles to help move couch and love seat to the lower level (I’m the supervisor and very good at holding doors open). The sunroom loveseat and Pierre and Mimi (the name we gave our table; there are 4 chairs and we named two of them) moved into the living room.

The result is a sunny bright art studio space on the main level, which is like being in a tree house because of the lay of our property. The living room seems really big now without the red couch and loveseat. We use the sunroom loveseat as our movie viewing spot. We can still watch the fire dance too. It’s all very sweet.

Is it standard living room setup? Nope. Do we care?

Nope. Do we have room for a gaggle of visitors? Yep. Fun and functional? Yep. Is that all that

matters? Yep. So if you get the hankering to rearrange and shake things up, go for it. If you get the urge to paint or wallpaper or make shelves in the closet instead of a hanging rod, do so. You can always make things “conventional” again if you need to. Or the next person will love your house and all the clever things you have done.

Do what feels good to you now. That is the best way to get return on investment. Create the energy you desire and that will give you good resale. I promise.

}The girls work extremely hard at making themselves better badminton players. As a coach, that’s all I can ask for.”

— Addison Trail coach Eric Norberg lone outdoor action was at a meet at West Aurora. A prior event at Wheaton North was cancelled due to cold weather.

The Warriors have been paced thus far by senior distance runner Marco Martinez, junior sprinter Eddie Tribue, senior jumper Kevin Miller and junior distance runner Casey King.

This is Miller’s first year out for the team. “We wish he had been here for all four,” said Willowbrook coach TJ Artman.

King competed well at the West Aurora event. “Casey had a tremendous day at West Aurora,” said Artman. “He also jumps and is improving significantly.”

Artman said the team is

showing improvements, particularly in the throwing events.

“We are looking for strong middle- and end-of-the-season performances from the entire squad.”

Willowbrook’s schedule is picking up considerably now.

“We are about to get into the part of the season where guys are really starting to compete a lot and we get to work on lineups in different ways,” said Artman. “We can experiment with relay teams and events guys are running now and try to figure out the best spots for them, and the best for the team performance as well.”

Willowbrook hosts a meet Friday.

The Don of A New Day in Sports I felt sorry for Jordan Speith and Ernie Els, both professional golfers who made mistakes at this year’s Masters Tournament.

Ernie six-putted on his first hole in round 1 and Jordan put two shots in the water on the back nine on the final day.

What these two golfers did was to help the game of golf, because now, a non-golfer or a fair golfer can say, “If a pro can make a mistake, so can I.” I encourage everyone to take up the game, but start with an inexpensive set of clubs and play at the Par-3 courses.

Bridging The Divide, In Politics And Beyond ‘Ethics Guy’ Weinstein shares how to be stronger leaders, citizens and friends ELMHURST — Known as The Ethics Guy, Bruce Weinstein is a columnist and author who writes about character, leadership and “ethical intelligence,” especially in the business world. He also helps organizations around the world hire high-character people, and shows business professionals how to make decisions that are consistent with their values.

Weinstein will present Bridging the Divide: How We Can Become Stronger Leaders, Citizens and Friends on May 12 beginning at 7 p.m. in the Founders Lounge of the Frick Center on the campus of Elmhurst College, as part of the Rudolf G. Schade Lecture Series on History, Ethics and the Law. Weinstein will be available to sign books after the lecture and copies of his books will be available for purchase.

Bruce Weinstein believes the key to professional and personal success is having not just emotional intelligence, but also ethical intelligence. Emotionally intelligent people are aware of how they and others feel; ethically intelligent people know how to use this awareness in the right way, and have the courage to do what is right.

Weinstein writes an ethics and leadership column for Fortune magazine online, and also has written for Bloomberg BusinessWeek and the Huffington Post. He has written three books, including The Good Ones: Ten Crucial Qualities of High-Character Employees; Ethical Intelligence: Five Principles for Untangling Your Toughest Problems at Work and Beyond; and, for teens and tweens, Is It Still Cheating If I Don’t Get Caught? He has discussed ethical issues on CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, Fox News, The Today Show and Good Morning America.

Weinstein received a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Swarthmore College, and a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in philosophy, with a concentration in bioethics, from Georgetown University and the Kennedy Institute of Ethics.

Admission is $10 for the general public and free for Elmhurst College students, faculty, staff and alumni. Tickets are available by visiting elmhurst.edu/tix or call (630) 6175186. This event is sponsored in part by BMO Harris Bank.

Senior Will Lyles won the high jump at 5-8. Kris Askew won the triple jump with a mark of 37-5 3/4. Josh Simmons was third in the event at 36-10.

On the girls’ front, freshman Jaida Smith set the school record in the triple jump at the Aurora Central Catholic quad with a leap of 33-4 3/4.

The IC Catholic Prep 800 relay team took first in a season-best 1:53.3 at the ACC meet and also won at the St. Francis Invitational. That group includes Kerry Mulligan, Smith, Katie Harvey and Kiersten King.

The Knights’ 400 relay team won at ACC and placed second at St. Francis with a season-best time of 52.29.

“Our sprint relay group continues to excel,” said Cronin.

King, a junior, won the 200 at ACC in a time of 26.50, which is below the Class 1A state-qualifying standard of 26.94.

Mikko Eguia took first at ACC in the 800 with a time of 2:32.1.
