Village buys S. Villa property for $2.2 million Cites need to increase parking

By Paul DelGuidice FOR THE VILLA PARK INDEPENDENT

The Villa Park Board of Trustees, at its Formal meeting held on Monday, April 22, voted unanimously to approve the purchase the property at 100 - 110 S. Villa Ave. “It is in the best interest of the Village to purchase this site for additional parking for the south Villa business district,” said Village Manager Rich Keehner.

The property owners G-C Properties, LLC, managed by Greg and Casey Kruse, agreed to sell for $2.2 million.

Part of the agreement includes relocating their business, A.K. Mulch & Landscape Supply, to 631 E. Wildwood Ave. The business will buy the 631 E. Wildwood Ave. property from the Village for $1.1 million.

The Village will assume the leases of two other businesses on the property (Eclipse Dog Grooming and Cherokee Rose Embroidery). What will become of these businesses when their current leases expire was not discussed during the meeting.

“I know part of (the acquisition) is helping with the parking problems we’ve had [along Villa Ave.],” said Angie Rojak, owner of Pioneer Garden and Feed at 118 S. Villa Ave. “I want to thank you for that. I also want to ask, what is the ultimate plan for Villa Ave.?”

According to Village President Al Bulthuis, the original plan was strictly to increase parking, but the option to develop some of the newly purchased property is a possibility.

“Some time, not in the immediate future, it will be turned into parking,”

said President Bulthuis, “The current owner can use it until his busy season is over.”

Developers interested, Bulthuis says “I am free to tell you we have

had developers interested in a strip along Villa Ave.,” he added. “After so many years when the leases are up on those businesses, there will be more space.”

The Village has long sought to acquire the property, in part to ease

parking and in part to encourage retail ‘walkable’ businesses that complement the likes of More Brewing, Pioneer, Josephine’s and other businesses already established in the South Villa Ave. Business District.

“This was a process for a couple

of years,” said Bulthuis. “There were a lot of moving parts. A couple of times it almost fell apart due to rumors that floated around town.

Last Wednesday, (April 17) we got the final agreement done about a quarter to five.”

A conversation with U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi Congressman shares the atmosphere in Washington; talks about education, western access to O’Hare

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE INDEPENDENT

A few months ago, the Independent began reaching out to our national leaders to get perspective on what is going on in Washington, D.C. and how it affects the western suburbs of Chicago.

At that time, the country was concerned with the situation at the border where parents and children were being separated from each other, while President Trump was under scrutiny about the possibility of Russian collusion and the Mueller report.

There has been apprehension about what could happen to our country as we go for-ward.

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi was recently as-signed the position as Deputy Whip, and was asked to ex-plain what that actually means and what the additional duties of being Deputy Whip would bring to him. He first explained that he was one of several named to that position.

ARCHIVE PHOTO The Independent “What it really means is that we are to urge This photo was taken in July of 2018 when Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (4th our colleagues to vote along a way that is obviously consistent with their own values but also from left) joined company leaders from The Home Depot to celebrate the new biparreflects what we are trying to do as a caucus,” tisan, pro-consumer energy conservation legislation that had just passed. Congressman Raja recently took time from his busy schedule for an interview with the IndepenCongress-man Raja said. dent.

tration needs to be more closely monitored, Congressman Raja shared a laugh “We like think we can walk and chew gum at the same time,” the Congressman said. “We have needed robust oversight with regard to this administration, but we have to monitor all parts of government and at the same time, work toward some key accomplishments.

“One of the things we have to work on is reducing prescription drug prices, which is something that has really gotten out of control.

“We need to work on an infrastructure package, which is in a poor state as a country.”

Skills-based education; college transparency efforts “We also want to work to strengthen higher education and skilled based education in our high schools.

“The court’s decision provides much needed relief for employees of the Home Owners Bargain Outlet, who may now have their medical claims resolved,” said EBSA Regional Director Jeffrey Monhart, in Chicago.

Other initiatives coming to the western suburbs Asked what other things Congressman Raja was doing, he said he’s still working toward western access to O’Hare.

“We’re building on our accomplishments there and it is moving forward,” he said. “It may not appear like it but the tollways and railways have come together to work on western access and that was a key component, taking tollways and railways into consideration.”

The Congressman was grateful to hear from the Independent and was happy to hear that people in the readership area are interested in the national scene and how it affects those of us here in the western suburbs.

What now, what’s next?

The interview could be summarized in one question—what’s next?

“I think that right now the next step is, we have to bring Bob Mueller and other key witnesses to Capitol Hill,” he said. “We need to see the full non-redacted report, which has been hidden from public view and from Congress as well.”

Congressman Raja was asked if it’s time impeach President Trump.

“As far as impeachment, we shouldn’t jump to that next step until we’re ready,” Raja said.

“When I was as a specialist in the Attorney General’s office, one thing I learned was you must always investigate before you prose-cute. We should not jump to a hasty conclusion right now.

Yes, there are clues that he may have obstructed justice, but we need to continue our due diligence, continue the investigation before we start any formal proceedings.”

major at different institutions of learning, but it also brings transparency to it,” he said. “It will allow us to look at the price of college by major at different student institutions. It also brings transparency to post-college in terms of average salaries, average amount of student debt, average time until employment.

“It is crucial to be transparent in these areas because it will also help stimulate healthy competition between institutions of higher education.”

The Independent asked how the U.S. is doing in terms of skill-based education. Are we in step with the times or are we, as a country, lagging behind?

“I think we’ve been lagging, but now employers working more closely with public education systems,” Raja said.

“I have been working with Congressman Thompson, a Republican from Pennsylvania, to boost good efforts in education and see to it that 13 million students will get a skills-based education.”

Asked if that meant high school or college students, he said it was anyone who was taking part in technology education across the board.

A group of Elmhurst residents from the Pick Subdivision recently came together to protest a development project being considered at the northwest corner of Illinois Route 83 and St. Charles Road.

The Pick Subdivision includes the area west of Route 83 to Villa Avenue in Villa Park.

The site under consideration was most recently occupied by Back Alley Burger and Krave Restaurant; prior to that, the location had a Kentucky Fried Chicken and an independent restaurant called the Kopper Kettle.

Preliminary site plans were recently presented to Elmhurst’s Zoning & Planning Commission (ZPC) by the Ambrose Design Group in Crystal Lake for the location known as 601609 St. Charles Road. The Ambrose plan called for a 16-pump service station, convenience shopping center and a carry-out restaurant, with plans for another drive-thru restaurant sometime in the future.

The Zoning Commission unanimously rejected the plans by a vote of 7-0 (two Commissioners were absent).

“That project is just too intense for that site,” ZPC Chair Susan Rose told the Independent in an exclusive inter-

Wayne Lulay Former Village Manager; memorial Saturday Wayne Lulay, the former Village Manager for Villa Park, passed away on April 19, 2019. Besides Village Manager, Lulay served the Village for 38 years including as Director of Parks and Recreation, where his hallmark was creating a full-time staff of recreation professionals. During his time as Manager, the Village enjoyed the largest boost of economic growth in its then-85-year history. Much of that growth was because Lulay developed small business loan programs, bartered land swaps with local towns and offered incentives for car dealerships to stay and produce tax revenue.

He was responsible for overseeing the coming of Walmart and Target. Lulay was instrumental in the creation of the Iowa Community Center, the rehabilitation of the blighted Ovaltine property, the creation of the Sugar Creek Golf Course and the conversion of the pools into water parks. He also helped successfully promote a 10-million-dollar referendum to improve the street infrastructure. Lulay retired from the Village in 2000.

Before employment at the Village, he taught at Jackson Junior High School and upon retirement, he served on the Board of Directors of District 88. He enjoyed fine dining, art, live theatre and music.

Lulay loved spending time with his

view. “One of the big things we have to look at when considering variances is ingress and egress, and at that site, it’s almost impossible. We asked the developer how anyone could ever make a left hand turn out of the lot [onto St. Charles Road] and he said there could be a ‘courtesy’ lane.

That’s just not going to work.”

Rose also pointed out that the development called for 16 gasoline pumps, which will have to be refilled every day.

“How are those gasoline trucks going to get in and out of that location?” she said. “To turn left onto St. Charles Road means crossing the westbound lanes of traffic, where cars are turning right (west) from Route 83, then you have to cross the left turn lane on eastbound St. Charles, where the traffic lines up virtually all day long to turn onto 83.

The last 20 years of his life, he met the challenges of Parkinson’s Disease with grace and courage and an ever-positive spirit and drive. Lulay continued to experience life with his friends and family, giving them all the pleasure of his warmth and wit till the very end.

He will be remembered on Saturday, May 4, 2019 from 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. at Steuerle Funeral Home, 350 S. Ardmore Ave, Villa Park. For info 630832-4161.

posed to maneuver that? And where are they to go from there?”

The developer’s answer to that was that they have “experienced drivers” and “don’t worry, they’ll find their way,” Rose said.

Starbucks supposedly had an interest in leasing a part of the property, but according to Rose, by the time the public hearing was held, Starbucks had pulled out of the deal.

“Maybe another type of business would work there, but not a convenience store with 16 gasoline pumps,” Rose said. “It’s just too much of a traffic generator in an area that is already saturated with a lot of traffic and inconvenient ingress and egress.

“We rejected the project at that point; we didn’t even get to the environmental impact studies.”

Neighbors are urged to attend meetings of the Development, Planning & Zoning (DPZ) Committee and the City Council to underscore the concerns that the project will negatively impact neighborhoods and parks, the local water main, storm drainage, Salt Creek, Salt Creek Trail, the Forest Preserve and what they refer to as “an unsafe, ‘F’ rated, dangerous intersection.” “[We need to] let them know that this development will be detrimental, endanger public safety, increase congestion on public streets, and does not stand behind their values,” said Jennifer Veremis, who spearheaded the grassroots movement among the neighbors in the Pick Subdivision and who helped set up a web site about the project at: keepvibrant.org.

Marijuana bill likely to come up early when lawmakers return Key supporter says exact language still being negotiated

By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

A key supporter of an initiative to legalize adult recreational marijuana in Illinois said substantial bill language will be filed soon, and the issue could be one of the first discussed by state lawmakers when they return to the Statehouse from their two-week spring break this week.

In a recent interview for the Capitol Cast podcast by Capitol News Illinois, state Sen. Heather Steans, a Chicago Democrat, said she hoped to file substantial adult use language “by the end of April or very early May, if not (Tuesday) April 30.”

Illinois legalized marijuana use for certain medical conditions under a pilot program enacted in 2013. Three years later, lawmakers decriminalized possession of less than 10 grams

of marijuana—about one-third of an ounce—lowering the offense from a misdemeanor to a civil offense that carries a $100 to $200 fine.

Now, with support from Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, many lawmakers want to legalize it for adults entirely under state law, even though it remains a criminal offense under federal law. Pritzker’s proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year includes $170 million in new revenue from licensing cultivators and dispensaries.

Steans said a number of different “working groups” have been meeting to hammer out details of different aspects of the legislation. Those are thought to include such things as how many new licenses will become available for cultivation and retail sales; how much those licenses will cost, and how they will be allocated; and limits on how much marijuana an individual could possess for personal use.

Some early proposals have called for setting aside half or more of the new licenses for people who live in predominantly black, Hispanic and Native American neighborhoods,

which supporters argue have suffered disproportionate negative impacts from the war on drugs.

Steans said the proposal likely to be unveiled this week also will include a provision allowing individuals to cultivate a certain number of plants in their own homes for personal use.

“Yes, we’re still talking about five plants,” she said. “There may have been drafts out there with more than that. We’re talking about a five-plant-per-household maximum

homegrown.”

The idea of complete legalization of adult recreational marijuana faces significant opposition from a number of religious organizations as well as some of Steans’ fellow legislators.

“If you legalize it, usage is going to go up. That’s been the experience of all the other states that have done this,” Sen. Dale Righter, a Mattoon Republican, said in an interview. “When usage goes up, abuse will go up, and there will be more people landing on the doorsteps of

drug treatment providers across this state—drug treatment providers who will tell you we have more people than we can serve and we do not have enough money.”

Steans, meanwhile, said she was cautiously optimistic a legalization bill can pass.

“I never like to presume how folks are going to vote,” she said.

“But yes, we’ve been working with lots of the members from various caucuses, hoping to get something we think is reasonable.”

Public health department has action plan to combat measles CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

The Illinois Department of Public Health recently announced a slate of initiatives to increase vaccination rates statewide.

There have been seven cases of measles in the Land of Lincoln so far this year, and more than 600 in 22 states around the country.

“We are taking the threat posed by a rise in measles cases very seriously and are committed to taking action to keep

Illinoisans safe,” Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker said in a news release.

The initiatives include a marketing campaign to combat “extensive misinformation” about vaccines, and bringing temporary mobile clinics to under-vaccinated neighborhoods and highly attended community events, such as fairs, celebrations and religious gatherings.

Hughes’ organization is starting a similar campaign to increase vaccination rates and education.

Because the malocclusion known as “overjet” is so immediately obvious, it often to self-consciousness byleads Jeffrey T. Bolandand lowered self-esteem amongSpecialist those with Licensed Orthodontic this form of bad bite. Once popularly referred to as “buck teeth,” this abnormal tooth formation is characterized by top front teeth that protrude over the bottom teeth toward the lip.

Lawmaker urges Senate passage of corporate board diversity bill

By Peter Hancock

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

State Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch urged the Illinois Senate last week to act quickly on his bill that would require all publicly traded corporations headquartered in Illinois to have at least one African-American and one woman on their boards of directors.

Speaking at a news conference in Chicago live-streamed online, Welch stood with several high-profile black and female business leaders and said, “We support House Bill 3394 because it’s our time and it’s our turn.”

“Open the door. Let us in. Give us our seat at the table,” he said.

The bill passed out of the House on March 29 with 61 votes, only one vote more than the minimum 60 votes needed for passage.

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR DEBT! Let Bankruptcy Experience Work For You!

That vote came after a rancorous debate on the House floor during which some Republicans accused supporters of the bill of being extremists.

“This is blowing my mind,” Rep. Tony McCombie, a Savanna Republican, said during the debate. “You guys are going to put your governor, our governor, on the books for being the biggest business-busting person in the nation.”

“This is a horrible bill,” she continued. “I don’t even—you guys have got to get it together here. I don’t— no offense, this is something else.”

“Offense is already taken,” replied Rep. William Davis, a Democrat from the Chicago suburb of Homewood, who often sponsors legislation calling for diversity in state contracting and purchasing.

Theft was reported at a local store.

“We wouldn’t have to do these kinds of things if folks would just act right,” he said.

Davis challenged the assertion that being required to have at least one African-American and one woman on a board would stifle business growth in Illinois.

“So what, do you all want us to pack up and leave so it can be better? Is that what you’re suggesting?

There’s no reason why this is a bad bill,” he said.

That prompted Rep. Steven Reick, a Woodstock Republican, to respond.

“Offense is taken when no offense is meant,” he said. “But I’ll tell you what. If what you’re going to do is demand this kind of thing, you’re putting up an ‘Illinois is not open for business’ sign in this state. I don’t care whether you are offended or not by the fact that we are against this bill. The fact remains that you’re not going to get anything in this country in the way of being treated equally if you’re going to take offense at every damn thing that comes up.”

When lawmakers returned to the Statehouse, Reick publicly apologized for that comment.

Only one Republican, Rep. Margo McDermed, of Mokena, voted in favor of the bill, while 27 Republicans voted against it. Four Democrats and three Republicans were recorded as not voting and several other House members were listed as absent.

During the news conference, Welch and others disputed the argument that a requirement for racial and gender diversity on corporate boards would be bad for business.

“Investing in companies that support gender and racial equity isn’t just the right thing to do, but it makes the most financial sense,” Chicago City Treasurer Kurt Summers said, citing an analysis by the business consulting firm McKinsey and Company. “Companies in the top quartile for racial and ethnic diversity are 35 percent more likely to have financial returns above their respective industry and sector medians.”

The bill is pending in the Senate, where Sen. Christopher Belt, a Cahokia Democrat, is its chief sponsor.

As nurses of Edward Hospital, Elmhurst Hospital and Linden Oaks Behavioral Health, we have deep and serious concerns about a legislative proposal, House Bill 2604, that would impose mandatory nurse staffing ratios at Illinois hospitals.

Throughout our careers as direct care hospital nurses, we have been honored to care for people during the most vulnerable times of their lives. We provide high-quality, compassionate care based on the specific conditions and individual needs of each and every patient.

However, this proposal would create a numerical, “one-size-fits-all” mandate for nurse staffing, overriding the expertise and judgment of nurses and other medical professionals at our hospitals. This rigid, by-the-numbers approach would severely limit our flexibility and decision-making to meet the unique and ever-changing healthcare needs of our patients.

We believe in flexible staffing that starts with assessing each patient’s condition and care needs, and allows our hospitals, with the input of direct care nurses, to match our nursing staff to the individual needs of our patients. This approach enables our hospitals to provide the right and appropriate staffing and care that patients need instead of being handcuffed by ratios that force us to add extra nurses in units where they are not needed.

That approach has been recognized as successful. Edward Hospital and Elmhurst Hospital have been designated as Magnet hospitals for nursing excellence by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. In addition, Edward, Elmhurst and Linden Oaks are regularly honored for safety, quality and patient care by national healthcare organizations.

Mandatory staffing ratios wrongly assume that patients in observation units need the same level of nursing care as patients in psychiatric units or hospital units with complex medical and surgical patients. Staffing ratios would require unnecessarily high staffing levels during the middle of the night when patients are sleeping and force highly trained nurses to perform tasks normally handled by support staff. It’s an ineffective and costly way to handle healthcare staffing decisions and it could impede our hospitals’ ability to provide the best possible patient care.

There is no conclusive evidence that nurse staffing ratios improve

quality or patient outcomes, but they will drive up healthcare costs in Illinois by at least $2 billion a year, including more than $15 million a year for our hospitals.

If nurse staffing ratios are mandated for hospitals, we will be forced to reduce or close healthcare services and units. There will be times when hospitals will have to go on bypass (sending patients to other hospitals) during unpredictable periods of elevated need when there are not enough nurses in the emergency department to treat patients to comply with the ratio mandates.

We urge our state legislators to oppose House Bill 2604 – or any other legislative proposal – that would impose unworkable and costly nurse staffing ratios that won’t improve care for our patients.

Willowbrook names April recipient of 88’s Best recognition Matas Masys has been named as Willowbrook’s April recipient of 88’s Best recognition for his outstanding academic accomplishments. Masys, a senior, was recognized during the April 15 District 88 Board of Education meeting.

As a student, Masys consistently pursues the most rigorous courses available at Willowbrook.

At the conclusion of his high school career, he will have completed 12 Advanced Placement (AP)/ college-level courses, as well as a multitude of Honors courses. As a result of his academic success, Masys has been recognized as an AP Scholar with Distinction and a State Scholar, has received the Outstanding Freshman Award and Outstanding Student Award for the Science Department and has been named to the Distinction Honor Roll each semester of his high school career. He also has earned State Commendation toward Biliteracy recognition and is an inductee of National Honor Society, National English Honor Society, Math Honor Society, World Language Honor Society and Civitas (Social Studies Honor Society).

freshman year. Masys can be found volunteering regularly throughout the school and in the community as well.

“When I first met Masys during his eighth-grade course selection appointment, he was committed to being challenged at the highest level, was ready to be a Warrior and was so polite and respectful,” said Counselor Lourdes Pina. “I usually don’t re-

member my meetings years later, but I remember his. He is always gracious and has super good manners. He is very deserving of this recognition, and I know Masys will continue to soar.”

English Department Head Brett Blair agreed.

“Masys, though he is extremely math and science minded, is a quiet force in his AP English Literature and Compositionclassroom,” Blair said. “He has a fluid, vibrant writing style that will surely underscore his skills in engineering or any other field he is considering in his future. He has truly been a pleasure to have in class, and his unassuming nature truly shows what a genuinely kind and good person he is. Masys will be missed next year, and I am proud to see him recognized for 88’s Best.”

Substitute teacher John Price said Masys’ work ethic and drive are what make him stand out.

“Masys is an amazing young man, who truly exemplifies what it means to be a student-athlete,” Price said. “His academic credentials are outstanding, as he has been accepted to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as both a student and as an athlete to play basketball. He is a humble young man, who shows compassion and concern for others and will always step up when the need arises. Masys definitely personifies what being a Warrior truly means.”

Masys will attend Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he plans to pursue a degree in engineering and will continue his basketball career.

College news Cullerton pushes awareness of ‘Scott’s Law’ in deadly season for State Troopers In light of the last couple of deadly months on the highway for the Illinois State Troopers, Senator Tom Cullerton is pushing for greater awareness of existing laws that require Illinois drivers to slow down and give officers a wide berth.

Cullerton (D-Villa Park) championed Senate Bill 947, which would require the Secretary of State to include information about Scott’s Law in every vehicle registration notice it sends to motorists. Scott’s Law requires that drivers must move over, if possible, and slow down when approaching an emergency vehicle.

“Every day, State Troopers put their lives on the line to keep us safe,” said Cullerton. “In turn, we must do whatever we can to put a stop to these preventable, senseless accidents. It is plain and simple – when you see an

The legislation was introduced in light of the recent tragic deaths of three State Troopers since the start of 2019. The number of troopers hit by vehicles has drastically increased this year. In the last three months, there have been 16 reported incidents.

“This measure will ensure that Illinois’ drivers are utilizing responsible driving practices,” Cullerton said. “It’s vital that we stay alert while driving. One wrong move can cost lives.”

Senate Bill 947 passed the Senate with unanimous support and is now in the House for consideration.

(This was received from the office of State Senator Tom Cullerton.)

State Reps. host Town Hall meeting Saturday Grant, Mazzochi present ‘Your Money, Your Choice: Springfield Tax and Budget’

State Representatives Deanne Mazzochi (R-Elmhurst) and Amy Grant (R-Wheaton) will be hosting a town hall meeting to discuss the controversial constitutional amendment for a new income tax proposal. The meeting will take place Saturday, May 4 from 10:30-11:30 a.m. at the Oak Brook Public Library, 600 Oak Brook Road.

“The proposed Constitutional Amendment to replace the Illinois single rate with an uncontrolled multitiered system will have a major impact on our district and our state,” said

Mazzochi. “Likewise, the Governor’s proposed pension holiday and anticipated $3.4 billion dollar budget deficit will set the tone for our state’s future.

A recent legislative survey confirmed our district residents’ passion for these issues, and they deserve to have their voices heard early and often before we have to take any votes in Springfield.

“Please come out to this event, learn about what’s happening in Springfield, and ask us questions.”

“Town halls are essential to gauge public interest,” said Rep. Grant. “The new income tax increase is the biggest piece of legislation we will vote on before this legislative season ends. The majority is attempting to amend the tax structure laid out by the framers at the 1970 Constitutional Convention.

Glowiak (D-Western Springs) passed Senate Bill 1624 this month, which would require companies that hold Illinois residents’ personal information to report data breaches which affect more than 500 Illinois residents to the Attorney General as soon as possible.

“Every day, we all go online to do all sorts of tasks, from paying

our electricity bill to buying groceries,” Glowiak said. “We should have the peace of mind that comes with knowing our sensitive information is safe, but in the unfortunate event that a company experiences a security breach, Illinois residents should be notified in a timely manner.”

Senate Bill 1624 will require the Attorney General to publish breach notices, ensuring the information is easily and promptly accessible to residents who may need to take steps to protect themselves.

Addison Trail baseball team keeping busy Blazers played five recent conference games in one week

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Addison Trail baseball team had a rough stretch of recent West Suburban Conference Gold Division games.

The Blazers played five conference games last week and lost all five, three to Hinsdale South and two to District 88 foe Willowbrook.

“Those were tough games,” said

Addison Trail coach Mike Kennedy. “We had the opportunity to win some of those games. The other team got the big play and we didn’t.

That’s what it came down to. Willowbrook hasn’t lost in the conference yet and we had them on the ropes in the second game late. They had a bases-clearing double on a 3-2 pitch with two outs. They cleared the bases and it gave them the lead.

But it was a really well-played game. It came down to one play.”’

Kennedy said the first game of the Hinsdale South series had a similar refrain. “The Monday game was

rain-shortened,” he noted. “We lost 2-1 and got their pitcher to max his pitches. If that game would have gotten into their bullpen we definitely felt we could have scored in those sixth and seventh innings had the game not been called for lightning.”

Despite the tough outcomes, Kennedy was pleased with his team’s approach. “The kids are in good spirits and they played hard during a long week,” he said.

The Blazers also had a game called due to weather against Proviso West in which they were win-

ning 6-1 at the time the contest was halted.

Individually, Kennedy has been pleased with the play of Michael Scali and pitcher Nick Zucchero.

“Michael Scali is on fire,” he said.

“He’s hitting .490 and has stolen 12 bases. He’s also been awesome defensively. He’s made some unbelievable defensive plays as well.

He’s been outstanding for us.

“Nick has thrown the ball well for us,” said Kennedy. “He’s a guy who has stepped up for the team. We’re still down three starters and he’s really helped us on the mound.”

In other earlier action, the Blazers were WSC crossover winners against Downers Grove North. The Blazers were 6-12 overall and 2-10 in WSC Gold action through late last week.

“I’m happy with the effort and the fact we are getting better every week,” said Kennedy. “We are right there with the better teams in the conference. It’s one play or a ball bouncing a different way and we’re talking about different outcomes.

This is a young team and it’s great to see these kids get into the flow of the game.”

Willowbook badminton team continues to prosper Addison Trail boys volleyball team wins two conference contests

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Willowbrook girls badminton team had some recent strong showings at the Hinsdale South ABCD invitational.

Charlotte Dewyer took first in the C bracket, while Hanna Konrath finished in the top four in the A bracket. Coach Eastman Tiu also noted the No. 1 dou-

bles team of Kaitlyn Fox and Nicole Kapica played well at Hinsdale South.

Willowbrook was 14-4-2 overall and 5-0 in West Suburban Conference Gold Division play through late last week. The Warriors also dropped a recent 10-5 WSC crossover dual to York.

And through late last week, Charlotte Dewyer was 30-3 overall at No. 2 singles, while Kapica and Fox were a strong 20-10 at No. 1 doubles.

“The girls have been pulling together and supporting each other as teammates really well,” said Tiu. “They set several goals at the beginning of the season and have been consistently

working toward those goals.”

Tiu has been pleased with how his team has worked through errors. “We have been playing pretty consistently by not making the same mistakes over and over again,” he said. “We need to keep working on playing smarter and making in-game adjustments on our own. And you always can work on fundamentals in racquet skills, footwork and conditioning.”

Others playing well include the likes of Chloe Herr and Lizzie Romero. “As juniors, they have been playing a lot in a lineup full of seniors and have gotten several wins for us this season,” Tiu pointed out.

Willowbrook played in the Hinsdale South sectional earlier this week where berths in next week’s state finals tournament were on the line.

“The season has been largely successful as we approach the end of the season,” said Tiu. “I would say most of the players have met their goals thus far. The next two weeks will be very telling.”

Addison Trail boys volleyball The Addison Trail boys volleyball team won a pair of West Suburban Conference Gold Division matches against Morton and Proviso East.

In a 25-22, 25-20 WSC Gold win

against Morton, Joe Mosny had eight kills and one block. Justin Werderitch had seven kills. JT Daniels had three kills and two blocks, while Filippo Cacucciolo had three kills. Giany Patano had three kills, while Nico Nasti had 24 assists and one ace. Michal Zdanowicz had eight digs. The win put Addison Trail at 7-13 overall and 3-1 in WSC Gold play.

Patano had eight kills in the Blazers’ 25-13, 25-11 WSC Gold triumph. Cacucciolo had four kills and three aces, while Mosny had four kills. Enzo Ciaccia had three kills and two aces.

Daniels had three kills, while Nasti had 23 assists and one ace.

Dr. Kelly Talks Straight

About Sciatica

Are you suffering from back pain or sciatica? Then it’s likely your biggest problem is pain. But there’s another major problem: bad information.

To end sciatica misery you must have the right information. Pay close attention because local doctor Kelly SynowiecMoroney DC is going to destroy sciatica myths and give you the facts.

MYTH: Sciatica will just “go away” with some rest.

FACT: If you are dealing with back pain, buttock pain or leg pain, then you must seek help from a doctor who is knowledgeable in sciatica immediately.

Left untreated, sciatica can lead to permanent nerve damage - and lifelong pain.

MYTH: Pain is the only problem associated with sciatica.

FACT: In severe cases, sciatica can lead to the inability to control your bowels or bladder - leading to embarrassing situations.

MYTH: You must take pain medications to deal with sciatica.

FACT: Drugs like muscle relaxants, pain killers, narcotics, antidepressants, and antiseizure medications have serious potential side-effects and do not cure the root cause of sciatica.

MYTH: “I must have done something wrong to get sciatica.”

FACT: Physical work or simply sitting at a desk for long periods can lead to sciatica. Accidents and trauma can also be the culprits. Pregnancy can cause sciatica.

Sciatica can affect anyone - including

super-fit celebrities like Tiger Woods, Sylvester Stallone, and British Olympic medallist Ian Wynne.

MYTH: Stop exercising and get several weeks of bed rest to overcome sciatica.

FACT: Staying active can help to relieve sciatic pain and prevent the pain getting worse. Staying inactive in bed could be the worst advice - based on a recent study in the Netherlands.

MYTH: Sciatica requires surgery.

FACT: NO! There’s been a huge breakthrough in the treatment of sciatica and lower back pain. It’s a new procedure called Non-Surgical ReConstructive Spinal Care. The excellent results from this treatment have been published in major medical journals.

Success rates are up to 88%.

MYTH: “There’s nothing anyone can really do. I’m just stuck with this for the rest of my life.”

FACT: With the correct treatment from a healthcare professional who specialises in sciatica, you can find relief from the core cause - and the symptoms.

MYTH: Getting Sciatica properly diagnosed is expensive.

FACT: Not true. We are currently offering an initial consultation right here in Elmhurst for Just $43.

We have helped over 1,483 patients find relief from agonising back pain and sciatica. We are one of the first places to use Non-Surgical Re-Constructive Spinal Care.

This procedure does not require a hospital stay. The focus is on finding - and correcting - the original cause of the back pain and sciatica.

According to Dr. Kelly, “We use a combination of ultra-advanced technology, not found elsewhere in the region, for precisely diagnosing the cause of your low back pain and sciatica. This means superior long-term results for most people.”

Because the treatment is non-surgical, safe, and easy, most patients report an almost immediately relief from their back pain.

Patient Jeff P. from Berwyn wrote, “My back pain was unbearable but the worst thing was the searing burning pain I felt in my buttock and leg... my wife insisted I see doctor Dr. Kelly. I’m 95% better in just a couple of weeks.”

The wins keep on piling up for the Willowbrook baseball team.

The Warriors won all five of their games last week to run their record to 17-3-1 overall and a perfect 12-0 in West Suburban Conference Gold Division action. The Warriors have two conference series remaining with Downers Grove South (this week) and Leyden. Downers South had one conference loss through late last week.

“We’re doing pretty well,” said Willowbrook coach Vic Wisner. “We have good pitching. Ryan Mintz and Jack Nilles are three-year varsity starters for us and Dax Meyer was with us as a sophomore. Joey Guthrie has really stepped up for us and thrown the ball well. That gives us four starters that we can intermix at any time.”

Wisner said the team has excelled at the plate as well. “We’re swinging the bats well,” he said. “Jack Hines is hitting .492, so he’s almost at .500, and he leads us in RBI and extra-base hits. Scott and Sam Tumilty are hitting well over .300. Ryan Mintz and Trevor Jaloszynski are the same.

Guys are hitting the ball well. We’re also fast on the bases. We’re causing trouble out there for other teams because we can run.”

Wisner said the 12-0 start in the conference is something to be proud of. “With the three-game series in our conference that’s tough,” he said. “You play that team a lot and you start learning a lot about them

and they learn a lot about you. Our conference has good teams in it.

Hinsdale South is good. We played Morton and there were some close games. Addison Trail battled us.

The fact that we are staying in it and doing what we are doing is exceptional. We still have Downers South and Leyden left and those are good teams. The other thing is our bye week in the conference is at the end of the season so we’re playing these conference series one after the other.”

Wisner said the team’s sustained strong play is not surprising to him given the amount of veteran varsity players on the roster. “These guys as sophomores won the regional and five of them started,” the coach explained.

“Last year we were 20-15 and it was not our best year, but we still won a regional and were competing for a sectional championship. These guys have an awesome work ethic.

We had a great summer and they had great winter workouts. They have been great. This doesn’t shock me.

I’m so happy for the boys.”

Willowbrook was slated to play Downers Grove South this week in a key WSC Gold series that was supposed to start Monday at Downers South and conclude today with the finale of the series back at Downers.

“That could determine the conference,” said Wisner. “They have one loss. It’s a huge series. We always want to win the conference, but that is never our biggest goal. We always talk about playing good at the end of the year. We want to do that. We talk it up about playing all the way through the playoffs. We’ve won back-to-back regionals here. These kids are very focused.”

Willowbrook’s Kulczyski throws no-hitter against Addison Trail Warriors pitchers throw three conference shutouts in a row

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

If a team can’t score any runs, they can’t win.

Willowbrook’s pitchers subscribed to that philosophy and then some in a trio of recent West Suburban Conference Gold Division victories.

Willowbrook pitchers threw three shutouts in wins against Morton, Leyden and Addison Trail. Those wins put Willowbrook at 4-0 in WSC Gold play.

In a 10-0 win against District 88 neighbor Addison Trail, Caitlyn Kulczyski threw a six-inning no-hitter. She struck out 14 batters and walked two, facing two batters over the minimum. Kulczyski threw 57 of 84 pitches for strikes and pitched a first strike to 16 of the 20 batters she faced.

Willowbrook had 12 hits in the game. Samantha Mishlove had a hit and a run scored. Annemarie Knudtson had a double, a home run

and three RBI. Kulczyski helped herself at the plate with three hits, a run scored and two RBI. Emma Barrington went 2-for-3 with a run scored and two RBI. Katie Pettinger had a hit and a run scored.

The Warriors also beat Leyden by a 3-0 count in eight innings. Kulczyski threw a three-hitter, going eight innings and allowing three hits, while striking out seven and walking none.

She faced two batters over the minimum thanks to Willowbrook turning a double play in the game. Kulczyski threw 69 of 98 pitches for strikes.

Willowbrook had only four hits in the pitchers’ duel. Caroline Dooley, Amy Bussa, Shannon Knudtson and Kayla Neff each had a hit. Mishlove, Annemarie Knudtson and Bussa each had one RBI. Shannon Knudtson, Neff and Pettinger each scored a run. Dooley had a double. The Warriors scored three runs in the top of the eighth after a scoreless seven innings by both teams.

Willowbrook started the week with a 6-0 win over Morton in WSC Gold

Fenton girls track team piles up personal bests Bison first at own invite and MSC quad; Matuszewski excelling in leadership role

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Things are looking up for the Fenton girls track team.

Coach Frank Kekstadt’s squad won a Metro Suburban Conference quad earlier in April and also took first place at the Bison invitational, while also placing fourth at the Glenbard South invitational.

At Glenbard South, senior Hanna Matuszewski took second in the 200.

Kekstadt noted Fenton racked up 79 personal records after the team’s first two outdoor meets.

At the Bison invitational, Fenton won the 3,200, 400 and 1,600 relays.

Junior Emily Trzmielewski won the pole vault, while freshman Ally Durkowski was first in the 400 and sophomore Analisa Murillo was first in the high jump.

“The youngest team I have ever coached is consistently getting better during the outdoor season,” said Kekstadt. “We are staying healthy and maintaining focus.”

Testimony from the hearings will be used to reconcile the plans proposed in Rep. Michael Zalewski’s (D-Riverside) holder bill, House Bill 3308.

The proposed licensing fee would be paid by sports betting operators, such as casinos, race tracks or online platforms.

“If the licensing fee is too high, it’s going to prohibit people from entering the market,” said Robert Davidman, a marketing professional who has helped launch several online gaming

Neff had a hit, a run scored and two RBI, while Pettinger had a hit, a run scored and two RBI. Barrington doubled, Kulczyski tripled and Annemarie Knudtson and Neff each homered.

Davidman said fees that other states are considering, $100,000 in Indiana and $45,000 in Iowa, are better.

Pennsylvania, where the fee is $10 million, has not sold all of its available licenses, Davidman said.

In his proposed fiscal year 2020 budget, Gov. J.B. Pritzker uses the sale of 20 licenses as a source of more than $200 million in new revenue.

A safer bet among the proposals might be the allowance of mobile betting.

“Mobile sports wagering is not only the future, it’s the now,” said Jake Williams of iDEA Growth, a notfor-profit sports betting association.

He said mobile betting accounts for roughly 80 percent of New Jersey sports wagers.

Zalewski, who is the subcommittee chairman, agreed.

“We’ve become aware that states that don’t have a mobile piece don’t fare very well,” he said.

That is bad news for one of the state’s proposed plans, which would have sports betting overseen by the Illinois Lottery without any online component.

Then, there is the question of which sports to include.

Larry Lyons, athletics director at Illinois State University, spoke on behalf of most of the state’s 13 schools with Division I athletics.

“We are in agreement that we oppose legalized gambling on college sports,” he said, because it brings bettors too close to young athletes who are still maturing.

But others said there still would be illegal gambling on college sports if they are not included in the bill.

One emerging sport that could be included is electronic gaming, or eSports competitions for games like DOTA II, League of Legends and Fortnite.

Bob Greenlee of eSports company Tusk Strategies argued that eSports are more popular and professional than many people think.

No date has been set for the subcommittee’s next hearing on sports gambling.

Kekstadt noted the team graduated 12 four-year seniors last year, including an all-state pole vaulter. “We had to reload in our field events,” he said. “We have freshmen filling varsity spots in shot put, discus, pole vault, long jump and triple jump. We now are scoring with our freshmen in the field events, which has given us momentum during the outdoor season.”

Kekstadt applauded Matuszewski’s efforts. “Hanna has stepped up as the team leader on the track,” the coach said. “She is performing at a high level and developing into

a strong leader. She is more relaxed this year and understands her role.

She is one of the fastest girls in Fenton history and is confident in her abilities.”

Alyssa Silva is continuing her strong running efforts from the fall cross-country season. “Alyssa Silva had a great cross-country season which is now paying off in track,” said Kekstadt. “Her work ethic and performance has improved during her senior season and she is PR-ing in her distance events this track season.”
