State Rep. Conroy pushes Community College reforms SPRINGFIELD — State Rep. Deb Conroy, D-Villa Park, continues her efforts to prevent abuse of taxpayer dollars by pushing a package of reform legislation for community colleges.

“As a mother of former and current College of DuPage students, I share the community’s frustration and disappointment in the recent revelations about the college’s administration,” she said. “My children received an excellent education at the College of DuPage, and I know that this institution has the potential to be the gold standard for community colleges in Illinois.

As state Representative, I am

focused on reforms that would prevent future abuse of taxpayer dollars and help to restore integrity to our local institutions of higher education.”

Conroy is co-sponsoring a package of higher education reform legislation that was recently approved by the House Higher Education Committee.

The four reform bills include: • Senate Bill 2155 requires a peer review of community colleges conducted by the Illinois Community College Board to ensure compliance with state and federal laws in regards to bonus payments, transparency laws, the Open Meetings Act and contract provisions.

• Senate Bill 2157 requires community college trustees to complete four hours of professional development leadership training that includes ethics, audits and financial oversight.

• Senate Bill 2158 prevents lame duck community college boards from renewing or signing a contract with the college’s chief executive before a new board is sworn in.

• Senate Bill 2159 limits employment contracts of community college presidents and makes information more accessible to the public, including requiring public notice of contract renewals, extensions or terminations.

Restaurateur ‘Sweet Baby Ray’ visits Willowbrook MENTORS VILLA PARK — On April 28, Dave Raymond, creator of Sweet Baby Ray barbecue sauce, spoke with Willowbrook students.

Raymond, who is better known as “Sweet Baby Ray,” met with male students who are members of the school’s MENTORS group, a program designed to train upperclassmen to mentor underclassmen through being mentored by adult men. The group meets

once a week during lunch, and community members provide motivational and educational presentations. MENTORS is sponsored by Willowbrook Social Worker Erik Engel.

During his visit, Raymond brought pulled pork and his sauce for the students to enjoy.

Raymond shared with the group how he grew up on Chicago’s west side with a single mom and four siblings and how his family struggled financially.

He told the students he considers himself to be an “average” person, and even a “regular” person can be successful with a lot of heart, hard work, big dreams and faith.

Raymond also focuses on giving back to the community through mentoring at inner-city programs for fatherless youth, donating meals to the DuPagePads homeless shelter at First Presbyterian Church of Itasca and more.

Licensed Specialist Fortunately, both cleft lip and palate are very treatable. The orthodontist’s role is to address problems arising from the patient having small teeth, missing teeth, extra teeth (“supernumerary”), or teeth that are out of position.

Accommodations may also be made for defects in the gums or “alveolar ridge” (the bone that supports the teeth) that can displace, tip, or rotate permanent teeth or prevent them from emerging properly. Perhaps the most notable improvement in treatment involves the use of “neovascular molding,” which non-surgically reshapes the patient’s lip, nose, and gums with a plastic plate, thereby decreasing the number of needed surgeries.

People born with a cleft lip and/or palate who didn’t have orthodontic treatment when they were young can still benefit from having orthodontic treatment as an adult. Whether you’re an adult, adolescent or child, we are committed to helping you achieve the smile you deserve - a healthy, beautiful one! To schedule a free orthodontic consultation, please call our office. Available by appointment, we honor all kinds of insurance and charge zero interest on our financing.

P.S. Most children who are born with cleft lip and cleft palate undergo surgical repair within the first year or two of life.

According to Berlin’s office, Devin Dawson, 19, of 8416 So. Justine St., Chicago, stands accused of attempting to run over a police officer following an incident in the parking lot of the Home Depot store located on 22nd Street in Oakbrook Terrace.

On May 4, at about 1:15 p.m., a detective with the Oak Brook Police Department was on duty in the store, when he saw Dawson running from the store with loss prevention store personnel in pursuit. The plain-

clothes detective joined the chase, identifying himself as a police officer.

While running through the parking lot, the detective rounded a van in the lot and saw Dawson behind the wheel of his vehicle.

At that time, according to Berlin’s office, Dawson accelerated and drove toward the detective, striking him and causing him to roll up onto the hood of the car. As he clung to the hood of the car, Dawson reportedly accelerated faster

Dawson then fled the scene in his vehicle.

A subsequent investigation led police to Dawson. On May 7, a $100,000 warrant was issued for his arrest and on May 8, 2016, Dawson was taken into custody without incident.

Although the detective did sustain injuries at the scene from the altercation, none were considered life-threatening.

Last week, Judge Richard Russo set bond for Dawson at $100,000 with 10% to apply.

Dawson has been charged with one count of Aggravated Battery to a Police Officer (Class 2 Felony) and one count of Aggravated Assault to a Police Officer (Class 3 Felony.)

‘Vivian Maier Uncrated’ coming to the Park Art Center VILLA PARK — An extraordinarily rare, free educational photography exhibit “Vivian Maier Uncrated” will be featured from Friday, June 3 through July 30 at the Park Art Center, 9 East Park Boulevard. Thirty-five striking photographs will be presented at this exclusive showing.

Vivian Maier’s photography talent was discovered several years before her death in 2009 by a Chicagoan who had purchased her unpaid storage locker containing unprocessed film, a large amount of silver gelatin negatives, expensive old cameras and other personal items. He was astonished to find out that she was an accomplished street photographer who took amazing photos of working class people and children in Chicago during the 1950s and 1960s.

Although self-taught, Vivian’s photography has been Vivian experimented shown all around the world in major with portraits, museums and galleries.

Born in New York City and raised in France, Vivian had practiced her passion at an early age. She had the opportunity to venture on a world tour to take pictures before she settled down to become a reclusive nanny in the Chicago area. This gave her the security she needed and the freedom to pursue her hobby while going on adventures with the children.

“It is exciting to bring in this private collection of Vivian Maier photographs to Villa Park and DuPage County so that the public can have the opportunity to view her mastery,” said Wendee Goles, president of the Park Art Center.

“Vivian’s photography has been shown all around the world in major museums and galleries. In line with PAC’s mission, this exhibit will foster appreciation of the arts through a full educational experience.”

Park Art Center will offer lectures, discussions, and a showing of the film “The Vivian Maier Mystery.” In collaboration, the Villa Park Historical Museum has created a Vintage Camera exhibit that includes a German Rolleiflex camera, just as Maier used in her later work. The Villa Park Public Library will be highlighting their collection of photography books with a lobby display.

got teeth?

Whether you’re missing one or all of your teeth, there’s now an exciting option that will help you smile with confidence again. Thousands of people are flashing smiles that have been beautified by implants, a fabulous tooth replacement technique that can be performed right here in our office.

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

Implants can be used to stabilize dentures and bridges, replace just one tooth or to rebuild an entire jaw of missing teeth. The best part is that they look and feel just like natural teeth. Dental implants are reliable.

Patients have retained them for more than twenty years with a better than 90% success rate.

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

Call us to see if implants can work for you.

How many registered voters in Illinois get to the polls? Not even half

W

ith the 2016 presidential election nipping at our heels and the hobo stew of candidates swirling in the mix until they hop out one by one before they burn, it is more important than ever to get registered to vote and to show up at the polls. The upcoming election ballot will most likely include Donald “No-Way-Will-HeEver-Be-President” Trump as the Republican nominee and on the Democrat side, our firstever female presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

With so much at stake, voting is more important than ever.

But just how many Illinois residents actually turn out to the voting booths?

According to Truth in Accounting, the national average rate of Americans voting in the last presidential election was disappointingly low -- only 42.92 percent -- Illinois was even lower.

In 2012, only 40.72 percent of Illinoisans actually turned out to the polls, according to the data. Of eight states in the

F

Midwest, Illinois was second from the bottom – a spot our dear state seems to hold on many lists – in other words, it ranked second worst in its region for the percentage of population voting.

Minnesota boasted the highest rate in the Midwest with 54.58%. Wisconsin reported 53.65%, followed by Iowa (51.44%), Ohio (48.32%), Michigan (47.86%), Missouri (45.76%), Illinois (40.72%), and lastly, Indiana (40.15%).

With Trump doing so well, now top leaders in the Republican Party are finally coming

around to accept that they’d better join his team. But there’s a big elephant (Har!) in the room that the Republicans still just aren’t seeing.

What the voters are really saying with their overwhelming support of Trump is simply this: Americans are sick and tired of partisan politics. Oh sure, he’s Republican, but not an entrenched guy who has “borne water to the elephant,” as they say. He’s likely been a financial supporter over the years, but he represents the Washington outsider and right now, that’s sounding pretty good to the American people.

It’s time for people like Paul Ryan to recognize it. There’s been talk of pulling tricks at the Republican National Convention to keep Trump from garnering delegates -- except for one thing – that’s NOT what the American voters want, it seems. They don’t want Paul Ryan or anyone else finding ways to pull the rug out from under Trump. Apparently, the American voters want Trump.

To spend energy trying to find

a way to deny him the White House is a complete waste, IF the Washington folks truly want to serve their constituents. The constituents appear to want Trump.

I’ve been involved in elections on both sides and believe me, winning is much better than losing. But once the votes are in and counted, one side has to swallow hard, hold out a hand to shake and wish the best to the opponent, now the victor. Even if the elected person isn’t anyone you might choose, you have to accept the will of the people. The people have spoken and they are voting for Trump.

Who are you, Paul Ryan or whomever, to decide that Trump is not in America’s best interest? Apparently the voters think differently. And you have to accept and respect the people’s choice. So accept the decision of the voters and work with him or get out.

There should be no back-room schemes to block the people’s choice, otherwise, we’re not really living in a democracy,

are we?

The same thing happened at the last gubernatorial election in Illinois. Bruce Rauner – a total outsider – won the election for the same reason -- people are sick to death of partisan politics. And hard as he works to “fix” our state and its financial woes, he’s got to contend with Mike Madigan at every turn – or NOT deal with him as it were, because the House Speaker has clearly taken his toys and gone home.

He’s not even going to show up to play anymore. Madigan obviously could care less if or when we have a state budget, which to me sounds like the worst thing you could do as a political leader – I mean, is that taking care of the taxpayers?

Doing nothing? Going a full year without a budget?

Time for elected officials at every level to recognize that the voters of Illinois and of the nation are sick, sick, sick to death of partisan bickering.

At least, those who show up at the polls are. All 40% of them.

than my sister, which I held over her head – until I hit 30.

When I was 5 and someone asked my age I no longer had to fold any of my fingers in toward my palm. I got to hold up my entire outstretched hand. I remember feeling like this was a big deal (because it

was!). Plus I went to kindergarten. That most certainly qualified me as old.

When I was 8 I was finally allowed to ride my pink banana seat bike by myself to the corner store to buy Laffy Taffy.

That sort of responsibility and independence is reserved for

those who have attained a certain level of experience and sophistication in life. Hence, in my eyes, I was old.

drive me to the mall; I could get there on my own. Anyone old enough to drive a car is old – at least old enough to drive a car.

Everyone believes they are old at 18. And why not? You can do lots of grown-up things, not the least of which is refer to yourself as an adult. It’s a privilege you’ve been waiting for your entire life.

At 20 you are no longer a teenager and that has old written all over it. Looking back, of course, I was probably more kid than grown up, but I didn’t know it at the time because I considered 20 old. The same goes for 25. And (eek) 30, which was a biggie for many of us.

Most of it is a blur after that.

The older you get, the faster time flies. I remember my parents telling me this; I didn’t believe them. Now that I’ve become them I understand the truth of their words.

Old, young or none of the above?

or most of my life I viewed myself as old.

Even when I clearly wasn’t. It’s about perspective.

The memories are vague, or even nonexistent, but when I was 2 I got a baby sister. By age 3, I’m pretty sure I thought I was old. For sure much older

Letter to the Editor Reader’s idea could end bickering in Springfield I am writing to share a simple idea to help end the unnecessary partisan bickering in Springfield and reestablish a functioning state government that actually serves the taxpayers who fund it: talk to our representatives, directly and in-person, and tell them we expect no less.

I recently joined the Alzheimer’s Association’s Constituent Advocate Program to help raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease among state legislators

and encourage them to support policy proposals to make Illinois a safer, friendlier, more enriching place for people with the disease. Recently, I met with state Representative Patti Bellock and discussed the desperate circumstances people and families facing Alzheimer’s will confront in the short-term if the state continues to operate without a budget, and the fiscal disaster Alzheimer’s poses to Illinois long-term if we do not take proactive steps now to strengthen the programs that serve our community.

Jill Pertler SLICES OF LIFE

I decided to use my voice to advocate on behalf of the more than 220,000 Illinoisans with Alzheimer’s and as a tribute to my mother who died from Alzheimer’s in July 2015. By 2025, the Alzheimer’s Association estimates that there will be at least 260,000 people living with the disease in our state, and while scientists search for a cure, I want to do my part to make sure that each of them has access to compassionate care in a state that is responsive to their needs.

When I was 10 I reached a new level of oldity: double digits and double hands. Having two numbers in my age was exciting and practically screamed maturity, as well as the privilege of having my mom drive me to the mall so I could get my ears pierced.

The age of 16 is a milestone in nearly everyone’s oldometer.

The importance of 16 candles on the cake can be summed up in two words: driver’s license.

Continued from page 8 Somewhere around mid30-something I found designating myself as old wasn’t as alluring as it had been when I was 8. Instead of the sweetness and privilege of Laffy Taffy, extra years meant responsibility. The prestige of a mini

van. Replacing acne wash with wrinkle cream. Fighting the dreaded muffin top. Wearing comfortable shoes. Fine print that seemed finer and fuzzier.

I’ve been old most of my life, or so I thought. And now that I’m older than I ever was

before, I’ve decided I’m as young as I’m ever going to be.

It’s a change in perspective and it works for me.

Besides, old or young, it’s what you make of it. Age may be an unyielding (and everincreasing) number, but it doesn’t have to be. Oh sure, the

calendar will change and technically so will the digits that designate how old (or young) you are. But you get to decide – whether you choose to be 8 years old or 88 years young.

As for me, right now I’m somewhere in between. But young at heart. Hopefully

always that.

Conroy introduces legislation to protect those with Alzheimer’s SPRINGFIELD — “Families dealing with the impact of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis deserve the peace of mind of knowing that their loved one will receive the expert care that they seek,” Conroy said.

“I am meeting frequently with local advocates, care providers and impacted families to ensure that our most vulnerable receive a higher quality of care.”

Conroy recently introduced Senate Bill 2301, which sets a minimum standard of care by requiring caregivers with direct access to Alzheimer’s patients to complete a specialized train-

ing program. Currently, long term care facilities may advertise their ability to care for clients with Alzheimer’s and related dementias but there is not a standard of care in Illinois that would ensure staff who deal directly with clients have the necessary training.

Conroy’s legislation received unanimous approval in the Senate and awaits consideration before a House committee.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, someone in the United States is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s every 67 seconds. With an aging Baby Boomer population, diagnoses

are expected to rise by an estimated 25 percent in the next decade. Conroy has worked with local Alzheimer’s advocates and the Greater Illinois Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association to confront the growing need for reforms in the care for those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

“Currently there are over 200 thousand Illinoisans affected by Alzheimer’s or related dementias,” Conroy said.

“With that number expected to rise in coming years, we have to be sure that we are prepared to properly care for our loved ones in their time of need.”

Screening helps Bensenville retiree beat lung cancer ELMHURST — There are warnings on cigarette packs, scary public service TV spots and bans on smoking in most public places. It’s no wonder that some long-term smokers become so overwhelmed by these daily alarms that they’d resist a chance to find out the state of their lungs. Yet, a simple and painless lung screening for high-risk patients can identify lung cancers early, when they’re most treatable.

Long-time smoker and Bensenville resident Frank Kowalski, 66, managed to push through his fears a few weeks after receiving a post card about a lung cancer screening at Elmhurst Hospital.

“I hesitated at first. I was worried about what I’d find out,” he recalls.

“But my (primary care) doctor and my wife wanted me to have the screening, so I finally agreed.”

Pulmonologist Phillip Cozzi, MD, of Elmhurst Clinic, says Kowalski was an appropriate candidate for the screening because he met the following criteria: • A 30 “pack-year” history of tobacco use. “Pack-years” refers to the number of years a person smoked times the number of packs smoked per day.

• A current smoker or someone who quit within the past 15 years.

• Age between 55 and 75.

Kowalski’s screening in December 2014 did reveal some emphysema, though he reports he’d never had symptoms beyond an occasional cough that he blamed on changes in the weather.

Of greater concern was a small nod-

noma, which is one type of the category of lung cancer known as non-small cell carcinoma.

“Lung cancer is frequently fatal,” says Dr. Cozzi. “But low-dose CT screening has been a major advance in early detection of lung cancer, as chances of cure are better with screening.

Mr. Kowalski’s nodule was discovered when it was very small and the cancer was at an early stage. One year after the resection (surgery), there is no evidence of recurring cancer. His prognosis is excellent.

Now a non-smoker, Kowalski has gradually built up his stamina since his surgery, thanks in part to 36 weeks in pulmonary rehabilitation. While the emphysema keeps him from racing up stairs or carrying extra heavy loads, he has worked up to walking about five miles a day.

He has this advice for others in the high-risk group: “Go for a screening early when they can still take care of it. Wouldn’t you like to be around longer?”

Dr. Cozzi presented Kowalski’s case to Elmhurst Hospital’s Multi-disciplinary Thoracic Oncology Conference.

“The group includes a medical oncologist, radiation oncologist and a thoracic surgeon, as well as a pulmonologist,” says Dr. Cozzi. “We reviewed Mr. Kowalski’s x-rays and discussed

strategies.”

Dr. Cozzi discussed the proposed treatment plan with Kowalski, and surgery was scheduled with Michael DaValle, MD, a cardiac and thoracic surgeon with Elmhurst Hospital and Cardiac Surgery Associates. A tissue sample would be taken and processed to confirm whether the nodule was cancerous or benign.

Willowbrook baseball team improving Warriors had won six of last nine games

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

The Willowbrook baseball team has turned the corner in the month of May. Through late last week the Warriors had won six games in a recent nine-game stretch to improve their record to 13-15 overall. Willowbrook was 10-7 in West Suburban Conference Gold Division action through late last week with one game against Downers Grove South remaining.

In a recent 14-0 conference victory against Proviso East, the Warriors had nine hits. TJ Geritano went 4-for-4 with a home run, three runs scored and three RBI. Cam Zunkel had a hit, two runs scored, a double and two RBI, as did

Kyle Ferguson.

MJ Ranieri went 1-for-2 with two runs scored. Matt Garbacz went 1-for-2 with two RBI. Willowbrook stole seven bases in the game. Ranieri had two steals.

Garbacz was the winning pitcher. He struck out eight and allowed only three hits.

Willowbrook then dropped the first two games of a threegame series to Downers Grove South. In a 4-0 loss, Kyle Martyniuk had a double among his two hits. Zunkel took the loss.

He struck out five and gave up four hits in six innings.

In a 2-1 loss to Downers Grove South, Jon Kelso went 1-for-3 with an RBI. Geritano had a hit and Mike Dembowski had a hit and scored a run. Matt Pizur took the loss. He struck out 10 in 6 1/3 innings, allowing only one earned run and six hits.

Willowbrook coach Vic Wis-

ner has seen his team do a number of things better during the latter stages of the regular season. “We are doing the little things such as moving runners along. We’ve been able to score more runs,” he said. “We had a little issue with scoring runs before. Now, we’re bunting better, getting the big hits and stealing bases. We’re getting that extra 90 feet. It adds up to more runs.”

Wisner has been thrilled with the efforts he’s received on the mound this spring. “The pitching has been outstanding,” he said. “It’s been like that throughout the year. Cam, Matt Pizur and Matt Garbacz have been throwing strikes. Ronnie Reitz has come in and done a nice job. We’re getting ahead of hitters and throwing strikes.

Will Hines is a reliever who has stepped up and gotten some more innings and even some conference innings. Pizur and

Zunkel were all-conference last year and Garbacz pitched well for us last year. Pizur and Garbacz have thrown no-hitters this year. They have been better than advertised.”

Wisner noted Pizur and Garbacz had ERAs in the 1s through late last week while Zunkel was in the 2s.

Geritano, Martyniuk, Ferguson and Kelso have been offensive cogs of late. “TJ had the four hits against Proviso East,” said Wisner. “Kyle Ferguson has been consistent with hitting the ball. Kyle Martyniuk has been pretty consistent and Jon Kelso has increased his batting average 50 or 60 points in the last two weeks.”

The coach has been impressed with the team’s spring turnaround. “That’s kind of been our M.O. the last four or five years,” said Wisner. “We get to May and we start playing our best baseball. May is kind of

the second season for us. We feel pretty good about it.”

Willowbrook earned a No. 12 sectional seed and will open up postseason play in the Lake Park regional against No. 5 seed Wheaton St. Francis.

“We like the draw we have, but we know we have to go out there and win,” said Wisner.

“Our pitching is strong enough to set us up in a two-game tournament every week. We have three quality arms in Matt Pizur, Cam Zunkel and Matt Garbacz. If we can play good defense and do the things we are capable of offensively, I think this team could put a run together here.”

Willowbrook was scheduled to close out its conference season Monday against Downers Grove South. The Warriors play Proviso West Thursday and host Glenbrook South Saturday at 10 a.m. for Family Day at Willowbrook.

For Willowbrook’s Wisner, it’s all about family Saturday’s regular-season finale a special one for Warriors’ baseball program

T

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

he Willowbrook baseball team’s non-conference games against Glenbrook South this Saturday is much more than a tuneup for next week’s playoffs.

It’s Family Day at Willowbrook’s field (10 a.m. start)—a special gathering coach Vic Wisner put together several years ago.

On Family Day, Willowbrook players have the opportunity to play catch in pre-game warm-ups with a family member. The players’ parents/ family members are allowed in the dugout to see what team members do during games. Tours of the team’s unique clubhouse directly behind home plate will be conducted and a cookout occurs between games of the doubleheader. The JV game follows the varsity game.

Wisner put together Family Day in honor of his brother Michael, who died several years ago.

“We were in Georgia watching his son, Kevin, play college baseball (at the University of the South),”

}You get to go out there before the game and play catch with your family.

We’re giving back to our parents for everything they’ve done for us over the years.”

— Willowbrook coach Vic Wisner Wisner said. “I knew he was pretty sick at the time. On that trip he said, ‘Wouldn’t it be great to be able to play catch again with your kid.’ He joked that us high school baseball coaches get them once they get to high school. I did this to honor my brother. It’s amazing as parents when your kids are younger you do everything with them and once they hit high school, all of a sudden some of those things are gone. This is a good way to remember how much parents have helped you in life. It’s a good opportunity to celebrate the season with everybody.”

Parents even are announced over

the public address system when their son goes to bat.

“It’s a neat thing to see,” said Wisner.

Willowbrook pitcher Matt Pizur loves the concept of playing catch with a family member. “It’s awesome,” he said. “You get to go out there before the game and play catch with your family. We give them a tour of our clubhouse and you get to hang out and have a blast.

We’re giving back to our parents for everything they’ve done for us over the years.”

Fellow pitcher Cam Zunkel likes the fact family members can see

what is going on in the dugout during the game. “They get to see how we work,” he said. “It’s not just throwing a ball to the first baseman or center fielder between innings. Somebody is on the scorebook, somebody is on a chart and somebody else is on a different chart. Somebody always is doing something.”

Pitcher Matt Garbacz added: “They get to see what we do every day. I think it’s awesome that our parents and family members are involved like this.”

Zunkel admits time spent doing something as simple as playing catch with mom or dad becomes sparse as one gets older. “When you are younger you always are out with your dad or mom or both playing with them and going to the park,” he said. “Once you get to high school and are doing different things, you don’t have as much time. Everybody has a family. Now we have the opportunity to go out there and play catch with them. This gives us a chance to realize how important family is.”

Willowbrook’s Sousa logs two top three finishes at state

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

Willowbrook sophomore boys gymnastics standout Adam Sousa walked away with plenty of hardware at the recent IHSA state finals meet at Hinsdale Central High School.

Sousa logged a pair of Top 3 individual finishes and also finished fourth in the state in the all-around competition.

Sousa finished second on horizontal bar with an 8.80 score. He also placed third in the state on vault with a 9.35 score.

Sousa, who advanced to the final round in every individual event, also tied for seventh on floor exercise with a 9.10 and placed seventh on pommel horse with an 8.60.

He added a pair of 10th place finishes on still rings (8.35) and parallel bars (8.30).

In the preliminary round, Sousa was second on vault (9.50) and horizontal bar (8.90), took third on floor (9.50) and was fourth on horse (8.80). He tied for fifth on parallel bars (8.80) and tied for eighth on still rings (8.95).

A day earlier, Sousa placed fourth in the state in the allaround competition with a score of 52.4. That score included a 9.35 on floor, a 7.60 on horse, an 8.45 on rings, a 9.50 on vault, an 8.75 on parallel bars and an 8.75 on horizontal bar.

Sousa was making his second state finals appearance in a row.

He took fourth last year in the all-around at 51.7 and also finished fifth on horse, tied for sixth on both floor and parallel bars and tied for eighth on horizontal bar.

“I’ve probably improved all-around,” Sousa said earlier last week. “I’ve gotten cleaner with my routines and my form is better. I’ve added a couple new tricks to different events and that’s helped out.”

Sousa said his biggest advancements this season came on floor exercise or on horizontal bar.

“There was a whole element group taken care of on high bar,” he said. “My dismount is cleaner.

I’m usually sticking it now and that helps out a lot. My difficulty on floor is higher. I’m doing a double back and a front double full. The front double full overall is one of the highest passes I’ve seen in high school value-wise.”

Still rings, he said, is an event that still is a work in progress.

“Rings is the event I get the most deductions on,” Sousa said.

“I’m missing an element group there. I need to keep working on my strength. When my strength improves, I will get a higher score. The older guys are bigger and more developed than me.

I’m still a pretty small dude.”

Sousa said his confidence level this season has taken a step forward.

“I enjoy doing this,” he said. “I hold myself to a very high standard. If I slip up on one thing, I’m not frustrated, but I’m disappointed because I feel I can do better. Now in the bigger meets, I’m more relaxed. I’ve done these routines hundreds of times.

I just relax and do the routines throughout the season.”

Sousa admits there is some surprise regarding the level of his improvement this season.

“With hard work does come suc-

cess,” he said. “I’m proud of what I’ve done, but a little surprised by how much better I am doing this year than last year. I’m four whole points better than last year.”

Sousa’s high all-around score this season was in the 54s. A

Level 10 club gymnast out of the Bartlett Academy of Artistic Gymnastics (with his longtime club coach Alex Kadar), Sousa also said he’s humbled by the fact he’s consistently competing with gymnasts a year and two years older than him.

“To see other guys who are older than me being right up there, that’s very special to me and it’s very exciting to be able to compete with them,” he said.

Teammate Zack Zeffiro, a junior, tied for 39th in the state on floor exercise with an 8.55.

Advice on Alzheimer’s and dementia care Q. “Since dad had Social Security and Medicare benefits, I thought he was pretty well set.

Now his doctor confirmed that he has Alzheimer’s disease.

Medicare doesn’t pay for long-term care and at this rate, we’ll run through money very quickly. What should I do?”

A. First, take a deep breath.

It’s a natural reaction to feel stressed and overwhelmed right after a parent receives an Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis.

Keep in mind that Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease, so you don’t have to put a whole financial plan into place tomorrow.

You do, however, want to quickly gain an understanding of the care costs you will face and identify resources you may be able to tap into to cover costs. Sorting out your dad’s income revenue, insurance, and government benefits will place you in a better position over the long haul. Ask yourself these questions: Does your dad have an independent long-term care insurance policy?

Medicare and Medicare Supplementary insurance does not specifically provide benefits for Alzheimer’s patients but long-term care insurance might.

If your dad has such a plan, carefully review the policy to ensure that Alzheimer’s disease is covered (in most cases, it is) and then speak directly to the long-term care insurer to determine when benefits begin, how long benefits will be paid, and the type of care covered.

Did your dad purchase one or more life insurance policies?

Life insurance policies may be able to be exchanged for Alzheimer’s care services. If your dad carries such a policy, you may want to contact the issuing company and ask for accelerated death benefits or a death benefit loan. Or, you may want to sell the policy in a life settlement. A financial advisor can help you understand both of these decisions.

Was your dad in the military?

If so, he may be eligible for benefits regardless of the military branch or length of service. For example, a pension benefit known as Aid and Attendance can provide the greatest amount of assistance, up to $2,500 per month in some cases.

Do you – or your dad – have

equity in a home?

If so, you may want to consider a home equity loan or line of credit, which allows you to tap into the current equity, freeing up thousands of dollars.

Or you may want to carefully investigate a reverse mortgage – a type of home equity loan that allows someone age 62 or older to convert some of the home equity into cash while retaining property ownership.

At Terra Vista, many of us have personally experienced our own loved one’s Alzheimer’s journey and we are always willing to share our insights and point you in the right direction. It is possible to come up with a sustainable immediate, short-term and long-term plan when you have all the facts.

Terrific trio Willowbrook pitching

staff fueled by veterans Garbacz, Pizur and Zunkel

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

Quality pitching is a valuable commodity in high school baseball.

The Willowbrook baseball team has that in spades this spring thanks in large part to the performances of collegebound seniors Matt Garbacz, Matt Pizur and Cam Zunkel.

The three have been mainstays on a Willowbrook squad that begins post season play next week against Wheaton St. Francis.

“We have a lot of dedication to the game,” said Pizur.

“We’ve bought into the Willowbrook baseball program as a whole. We all care about baseball. It’s our main priority.”

Zunkel added: “We have a lot of returning pitchers who have a lot of experience. As we are coming to the end of the season, we’re getting even better.”

Pizur, who is headed to North Park University in Chicago, recently threw a no-hitter where he allowed only two base runners. “Mostly everything was working for me,” he said of the no-hitter. “My curve and splitter were working the best they have been. I knew early on that I felt really well. Before the game I felt like it was something different. I didn’t even realize I had a no-hitter until the seventh inning.”

Pizur said his success this season has been bolstered by improved velocity and command. “My velocity has gone up and I have better command of pitches,” he said.

Zunkel will continue his

career at the University of Illinois at Springfield. “My curve and changeup have gotten better, mainly my curve ball,” he said. “I’m able to control my curve better and throw it for strikes so teams can’t expect a fastball. I have a little more movement on the fastball as well and am able to control it a little more.”

Garbacz, headed to Roosevelt University, said he’s been working hard on pitching out of the stretch. “I’m pitching a lot better out of the stretch since last season,” he said.

Garbacz also has a no-hitter to his credit this season against West Chicago. He struck out 12 in that game. “In warm-ups (pitching) coach (Curtis) Hudson helped me with my curve ball and that was my go-to pitch that day,” he said.

Garbacz said the team is looking forward to the upcoming playoffs. Willowbrook started off 6-1 in May. “We feel we are right where we need to be,” he said. “We would like to make a good run in the playoffs.”

Pizur added: “It’s a good time for us. The way our rotation goes, we have good starters who all could pitch the first game. Any of us can hold our own.”

Zunkel recalls when the team was 7-12 at one point. “We thought we were going to get a low seed and have to have a play-in game,” he said. “We’re still a 12 seed in the playoffs and that’s not what we wanted, but we like where we are. I feel with the pitching staff we have and the talent we have that we can make a run.”

Willowbrook’s Chantos wins two matches at state badminton Warriors’ girls soccer team enjoying strong season

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

Willowbrook girls badminton player Grace Chantos won a pair of matches at the recent IHSA state finals meet at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston.

Many contributors responsible for success of soccer team

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

The IC Catholic Prep girls soccer team has turned its best performances at the right time of the season.

The Knights were 11-6-3 overall and had won six of their last seven contests heading into the Class 1A state playoffs last week.

IC Catholic Prep closed out the regular season with wins against St. Edward (3-1), Guerin Prep (4-0) and De La Salle (3-0). The Knights also lost 2-1 to Timothy Christian.

In the win against De La Salle, Olivia Hurt (a freshman), Grace Fuller and Tessa Langan each had a goal.

Hurt had two goals in the team’s win against Guerin.

Fuller and Katie Hendricks each added a goal.

Fuller had two goals and Hurt added the other in the St. Edward win. Fuller had the only goal in the loss to Timothy.

“We’re finally healthy,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Tom Schergen. “This is the first time in four weeks that we’ve had the entire team healthy and ready to go. We were able to make the substitutions we wanted to and that was the first time we’ve been able to do that in a long time. Being healthy helps. We’re able to get the right players out there and have a bench ready to give players breathers. Keeping players fresh helps immensely, especially in the game of soccer.”

Schergen said season-long development has helped move the Knights to the next level.

“It’s definitely been the maturation process of the players,”

he said. “They are hard-working girls who have motivated themselves to be there every day and work hard to get better. This is the fruition of their work. They are playing good team soccer.

They have a willingness to get better.”

IC Catholic Prep went 3-3 in the Metro Suburban Conference West Division. “Since we’ve been in the MSC, that’s by far our best finish,” said Schergen.

“We were 1-5 last year. We’ve definitely shown improvement in the conference games as well.”

The team’s defense has played a key role. “We’ve held our own back there,” said Schergen. “Our defense keeps us in games. We are able to do a lot to help our offensive players stay where they need to be. Our offensive players are not dropping back as much. They are able to stay in position, receive the ball and do something with it. We’ve had some kids put in new positions who have become acclimated with them and are doing well and understanding their roles.”

Schergen lauded the contributions of Hurt and Liz Maloney.

“Olivia has been a force for us,” said Schergen. “She’s our leading goal scorer. She’s been very impressive as a freshman.

Her teammates realize what she can do with finishing. She has been getting the ball more. She’s earned her stripes. She’s proven she can finish and the ball is coming to her a lot more.

“Liz stepped into the midfield and has solidified that position next to Tessa Langan.”

Hurt was leading the team in goals with 19 through late last week.

second time in the last four years (highest in program history).

The team is captained by senior defender Alyssa Spada, senior midfielder Samantha Wozniak and senior goalie Allie Jones.

Marquez lauded the performance of the team’s “very strong defensive unit.” That group includes senior Erin Owen, Spada, sophomore Jessica Ragucci and junior Valen-

tina Poggi.

Willowbrook also features six girls who are four-year varsity players. All six are starters. That group includes Owen, Spada, midfielder Bridget Garner, Wozniak, midfielder Maria Aparicio and Jones.

Marquez is assisted by Pete Montgomery, Brian Shanahan and Julio Del Real. The Warriors opened postseason play earlier this week against York.

MADISON, Wis. — From dawn to dusk, Monday through Sunday and all year long, Wisconsinites always find something to celebrate. This non-stop festive spirit shines even brighter during the spring and summer months when we trade in our snow boots for flip flops, and ski lift passes for festival tickets.

This summer’s Wisconsin festival round-up features favorites like the 35th Annual Art Street in Green Bay and the 50th Annual Menominee Nation Contest PowWow. New to the line-up this year, renowned actor and Wisconsinite Willem Dafoe returns to his home state to lead the brand new performing and visual arts celebration, Milwaukee Fringe Festival. Also teeing off for the first time in Wisconsin since 2009, the PGA Champions Tour returns for the 1st Annual American Family Insurance Championship in Madison. With so many distinctive events, it’s no secret Wisconsin knows how to have fun during the spring and summer.

Have a magical summer evening at Old World Wisconsin

C

lose your eyes and imagine… the sun glows orange as it sets over a field of wildflowers, against the steeple of a quaint country church. Though your tummies are satisfied, you indulge in a gourmet chocolate and a sip of red wine. After all, you surely burned calories while dancing to your favorite songs by a local band. As a few stars pop out in the surprisingly mosquito-free sky, you think... “What a magical evening!”

Be part of the magic, as Old World Foundation presents its 14th annual Midsummer Magic celebration, Satur-

day June 18 from 6:00 until 9:00 pm.

This popular fundraiser is hosted by Old World Foundation, an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that

supports projects and programs at Old World Wisconsin in Eagle.

Come earlier and browse the Artisans’ Craft Market from Noon until 6:30 p.m. This is a great opportunity to purchase one-of-a kind handmade items from local artisans. After 6:00, savor delicious samples from dozens of Wisconsin wineries, breweries, restaurants and specialty stores. Enjoy music from “Falling Rock”-classic and current rock/pop hits from the 60’s through today; Paul Rebek-soft rock; “The Novy Spinners”-rock, pop and alternative; “RNB Duo”-jazz standards, 70’s

& 80’s favorites. And back by popular demand, balloon sculptor and magician, Tim Glander. You can also try your luck at the auction and raffle, where dozens of hand-made items, gift certificates, wine baskets, and tickets to local attractions will be up for grabs.

Please call (262) 594-2922 for reservations or order tickets on line at www. friendsOWW.org. Tickets are only $55 for this fundraiser to support Old World Wisconsin. All entertainment, parking, and unlimited food and beverage samples are included in the ticket price. You must be 21 to attend.

Springfield Roundup

Measure to bring connectivity to rural Illinois passes Senate

By Dee Longfellow For The Independent

SPRINGFIELD — Under a measure that advanced in the General Assembly on Wednesday, May 11, residents of rural and downstate Illinois may soon have easier access to broadband internet.

Senate Bill 2237 passed the Senate last week and is now headed to the House for consideration. If passed, the legislation will allow broadband internet providers to use existing rights-ofway to lay fiber optic cable; the same rights-of-way used by water and sewer

utilities to lay pipe. The property is not productive farmland, not suitable for building, not used for any purpose other than roadways, nor is it subject to property taxes.

There is an option for landowners.

Individuals who own the land under these highways have the right to refuse to grant access to the broadband providers, indefinitely if they choose.

The legislation applies only to existing easements with roads on them.

Under the proposal, broadband companies would have to pay for repairs for any damage they do to drainage tiles in the right-of-way while install-

ing cable.

Harmon sees measure as investment in state According to State Senator Don Harmon (D-Oak Park), the legislation prompted a broad conversation between two legitimate and competing interests in Illinois: the rights of property owners and the desire to have Internet accessibility throughout the state.

“Hospitals, schools, businesses and residents everywhere, including in rural parts of Illinois, deserve to have access to broadband internet and cable services,” he said. “Just as we have

taken steps through the centuries to ensure transportation networks exist throughout Illinois and the nation for the good of commerce and convenience, it’s vital in this day and age to ensure [these] networks exist with the same prevalence. After all, today it is the information highway that connects communities and people across the state, the country and the world.”

Harmon sees the action as an investment in rural and downstate Illinois.

“If we don’t take these kinds of steps today, there will be less incentive for others to invest in these areas in the future.”
