Villa Park VFW gears up for 4th of July parade The Villa Park VFW Post 2801 will host Villa Park’s Annual 4th of July parade. The parade will be held on Wednesday, July 4, stepping off promptly at 12 noon from from the Trinity Lutheran Church lot. It will proceed west down Central to Harvard, turn south on Harvard to Madison, then east on Madison to Summit, then north on Summit to Park, west on Park to Ardmore, then north to disperse.

This year’s parade theme is “State of Illinois – 200 Years of Freedom.”

The parade Grand Marshall for

2018 will be Roy Ruth, a U. S. Marine Corps veteran who served in the Pacific Theater during World War II and participated in the invasion of Iwo Jima. He was a Tank Corp Observer, being in advance of the armored units and directing their fire on enemy emplacements. He

became a member of the Villa Park VFW Post 2801 in 1950 and moved to Villa Park in 1953, where he has been in residence ever since.

For those businesses, civic groups and anyone wishing to participate in the parade, applications are now being accepted. There are applications

available at villaparkvfw.org and on the Villa Park Chamber of Commerce web site at villaparkchamber. org Tax deductible donations to the Post to help defray the cost of the Parade are always welcome.

tween Ardmore and Yale following the parade. There will be free hot dogs and water for parade participants.

In preparation for straightening teeth with clear aligners, the orthodontist must examine the patient’s mouth carefully, determine the cause(s) of malocclusion, and develop a treatment plan that takes into account the shape, size, and position of the teeth and jaws.

Because mail-order aligners take none of these preliminary steps, they can potentially do more harm than good.

Chicago Rink Rats: The Golden Age of Roller Skating coming soon

Out and

About

New exhibit opens July 13 at History Museum The Elmhurst History Museum is gearing up for another locally-curated exhibition, Chicago Rink Rats: The Golden Age of Roller Skating, which will be on display July 13 to Nov. 4.

In the wake of the Great Depression and into the 1970s, America found itself with a new pastime: rollerskating. At the height of The Golden Age in 1950, rollerskating became the number one participatory sport in America with nearly 5,000 roller rinks and 18 million skaters—and Chicago was the epicenter of it all.

Take a nostalgic trip to the glory days of rollerskating to learn about the “rink rats”—the regulars at the legendary skating venues with names like The Elm, Arcadia, Riverview, Lombard, The Savoy, and others. Hear first-person accounts from skaters and view images and eclectic artifacts, from skating jackets and gear to competition medals, posters, and memorabilia. Inspired by the book by author and skater Tom Russo.

Admission is free. For more information, visit elmhursthistory.org or call 630-833-1457.

Opening night event planned On Friday, July 13, from 6-8 p.m. celebrate the joy of rollerskating at the opening of the new Chicago Rink Rats exhibit during a public after-hours opening night at the Elmhurst History Museum, 120 E. Park. Enjoy live musical entertainment by School of Rock and a book-signing by author and exhibit writer, Tom Russo. Guests can lace up roller skates in our recreated “The Elm” Skating Rink outdoors on the museum grounds. BYO roller skates or limited skates/sizes available for use (socks required). Skate at your own risk, signed waivers required. Meet members of area Roller Derby Teams and get your own derby name. Hot dogs and ice cream will be available for purchase. Admission is free. Info: elmhursthistory.org or call 630-833-1457.

Related program – Skating Tricks of the Trade On Wednesday, July 18 from 7-8 p.m., come to the Elmhurst YMCA, 211 W. First Street for Skating Tricks of the Trade. Watch and learn from the pros at a demonstration of roller skating skills from the Golden Age through today on the YMCA’s outdoor rink. DJ Oliver spins tunes and emcees this fun evening for all ages. Professional competitive freestyle skater Carrie Svihlik plus members of Chicago Roller Talent and The Osiris Initiative will demonstrate various skating styles from the 1940s-‘70s and beyond—including shuffles, spins, jumps, and Chicago’s own JB (James Brown) style skating. Concession sales will be available for sale with proceeds to support the YMCA scholarship fund. Outdoor event, rain date will be July 26. Limited seating available. Admission is free.

Prevention Leadership Team commends local Tobacco 21 ordinances Legislation to impact growing trend of vaping among youth

The DuPage County Prevention Leadership Team (PLT) recently praised the local efforts to raise the age to purchase tobacco products to 21. Several communities have recently passed a “Tobacco 21” ordinance, joining more than 300 localities nationwide.

“We congratulate these cities for leading DuPage County in Tobacco 21 ordinances,” said Doug Petit, PLT Co-Chair. “Increasing the legal age to purchase tobacco products to 21 will significantly reduce youth tobacco-use, and ultimately save lives.”

Should Gov. Bruce Rauner sign legislation to prohibit tobacco sales to anyone under the age of 21, Illinois would become the sixth state to do so, joining California, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey and Oregon as “Tobacco 21” states.

The ordinances will also impact the growing trend of vaping among DuPage County youth.

While some may argue that e-cigarettes are a “healthier alternative” to smoking cigarettes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that adolescents and young adults who use e-cigarettes are 8.3 times more likely than non-e-cigarette users to progress to cigarette smoking after one year.

Results from the Illinois Youth Survey (IYS) indicate that tobacco-use has increased among DuPage County middle- and high-school students since 2014. In the past 30 days, 26 percent of high-school seniors reported using cigarettes or other smoked tobacco, chewing tobacco, hookah or e-cigarettes. Although studies show six percent of highschool seniors report using traditional cigarettes, 14 percent said they

“

Numerous studies show that raising the minimum age to purchase tobacco products to 21 is an effective intervention.”

–Karen Ayala, Health Department Executive Director

use e-cigarettes and hookah or water pipes.

The PLT commends the DuPage County Board of Health, for signing a resolution in December 2017 supporting this important policy, as recommended by the DuPage County Health Department.

“Numerous studies show that raising the minimum age to purchase tobacco products to 21 is an effective intervention,” said Karen Ayala, Health Department Executive Director.

Tobacco use is a contributing factor in the leading causes of death in DuPage County, including cancer, heart disease, stroke and chronic lower respiratory disease, Ayala said.

Increasing the age to purchase all tobacco products to 21 will help decrease the number of users, and protect all youth and young adults from the harms of all types of tobacco use.

Former Roselle teacher sentenced to 8 years for criminal sexual assault DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin announced last week that a former teacher and coach at Lake Park High School in Roselle has been sentenced to eight years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for having inappropriate sexual contact with a minor female student.

Jared Wissmiller, 28, of Downers Grove, entered an agreed plea of guilty to one count of Criminal Sexual Assault, a Class 1 Felony.

Wissmiller has been held in custody at the DuPage County Jail since turning himself in on May 31, 2017 on a $75,000 full cash bond.

Last week’s sentencing is the result of allegations that Wissmiller, who, according to the indictment, “held, as a high school teacher and coach, … a position of trust, authority, or supervision in relation to” the victim engaged in inappropri-

ate sexual behavior with the minor.

An investigation led by the DuPage County Children’s Center into the allegations revealed that Wissmiller engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior with his victim from June 1, 2016, through September 2016.

“Jared Wissmiller admitted that he used his position as a teacher to take advantage of a young girl solely to satisfy his sick sexual desires,” Berlin said. “[His] sentence of eight years behind bars and a lifetime registration as a sex offender will ensure that Mr. Wissmiller will be unable to prey upon unsuspecting, innocent students for the rest of his life.”

Wissmiller will be required to serve 85 percent of his sentence before being eligible for parole. He will also be required to register as a sex offender for life.

Howdy!

IC Catholic Prep baseball team working through summer

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

IC Catholic Prep baseball coach Frank DeAngelis knows the summer is a busy time for his players.

“We know we will have to share athletes with everyone,” he said.

“Sometimes it’s hard to get your hands on kids, but I’m sure that’s the same for a lot of schools around the area.”

DeAngelis has structured a summer program where the Knights play every Wednesday. “We get 15 guys to come out,” he said. “It’s a mix of freshmen through seniors.”

DeAngelis said the team uses its regular contact days on Tuesday and Wednesday. “We’ll have games on Wednesday, but the guys will come earlier and put in the work and leave

and then come back for the game,” he said. “We use Thursdays as open workouts where anybody can come.”

DeAngelis said he’s seen a shift of sorts in the high-school summer baseball season. “High-school summer baseball is kind of disappearing a little,” he said. “We had a couple teams this summer cancel on us. It seems like we’re playing the same teams this summer with Fenwick, ACC, Ridgewood and Westmont.

Kids are involved in basketball and golf and then football runs in the evening. Kids work jobs and they play on travel baseball teams. Kids are busy in the summer. We will think about not doing games next year and just have our contact days and hold actual team camps. In the

spring you have 11 or 12 days of actual practice and then you start playing games. It’s hard to develop guys that way.”

On the field this summer, DeAngelis has been impressed. “I’m happy with what I am seeing from the kids,” he said. “But we don’t have our full team here. I’m happy with the numbers and we’ve been able to see a lot of guys, including incoming freshmen, but we need complete 100 percent buy-in to get over the hump in the spring. In the fall and winter, guys are playing different sports, we get that. We have to take advantage of these types of opportunities.”

In the spring, Griffen Eichhorn and CJ West were named to the Metro Suburban Conference Blue Division team. This was West’s second

all-conference nod in a row.

“Those were two guys who stuck out to everybody,” said DeAngelis.

“They did a lot of different things for us. Those are two big losses for us next year.”

Eichhorn hit .347 with 26 hits in 75 at-bats. He scored 22 runs, had 10 RBI and stole 26 bases. Included in his 26 hits were five doubles, two triples and one home run.

West hit .317 with 26 hits in 82 atbats. He scored 20 runs and had 16 RBI, while stealing 17 bases. West was a workhorse on the mound, logging 57 2/3 innings where he went 5-4 with a 1.94 ERA to go with 43 strikeouts.

Since taking over, DeAngelis has seen the program head in the right direction. “Overall, we’re still do-

ing things to build the program,” he said. “We’re still playing a very competitive schedule. The conference has added some tough teams in Aurora Christian, which won the state title this year, Bishop McNamara and St. Francis, which will be a tough matchup. We like where the conference schedule is and we like our non-conference schedule.

We’re going to do our spring-break trip again and we’re looking into Florida this time. I like where we are going. We keep working on the culture and we’re doing a lot of community service projects. I like where the baseball program is headed. All the people are pulling in the same direction and that helps. We also have great support from the school and that helps as well.”

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.

From Our Family To Yours

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

Historical Society, Museum to celebrate 40th anniversary in 2018 This year marks the 40th Anniversary of the Villa Park Historical Society and the establishment of the Villa Park Historical Museum.

The Museum, operated by an all-volunteer Historical Society along with its partnership with the Village of Villa Park, could not sustain itself or succeed as a frequently visited museum in DuPage County and an asset to Villa Park without the efforts of many people of diverse backgrounds and talents.

The current VPHS Board of Directors wishes to acknowledge the efforts of everyone that have contributed to our successes, especially the past Presidents, board members, membership, volunteers, the community, visitors, newspaper reporters, local businesses, service clubs, bike clubs, donors and the Historical Preservation Commission.

“Besides having interesting and informative local history displays inside the Museum and friendly docents to greet you, visitors are impressed by the building’s attractive English Tudor style architecture and its great location along the Prairie Path,” boasted Carol Marcus, Museum Executive Director and Historical Society President. “There are outdoor benches to sit and rest, picnic tables under a shady pavilion, and a lovely garden to enjoy.”

The Villa Park Historical Museum is located in the 1929 Chicago, Aurora & Elgin inter-urban train station that originally served the community as the Villa Avenue stop until 1957.

Signature collections honor the history of the Village of Villa Park, the Chicago, Aurora & Elgin Railroad, and Ovaltine.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, the VPHM has served as the Villa Park Visitor Center providing business information, Prairie Path Maps and guides to local restaurants and shopping since 2009.

Addison Braves men’s baseball team still going strong Longstanding semi-pro team continues play in two states

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Addison Braves men’s baseball team is once again keeping itself quite busy this summer.

The Braves, a semi-pro squad that plays their home games at Community Park in Addison, is a member of two leagues in two states. Addison plays in the Chicago Suburban League and also as is its custom competes in the Wisconsin State League. The Braves remain under the direction of longtime manager Larry Kurkowski.

The Braves, which have been playing semipro ball since 1975, is led this season by a pair of pitchers in Schaumburg High School graduate Austin Wright, who is a former draft pick of the Philadelphia Phillies, and Chris Hawks, who played a year at Waubonsee Community College. Wright’s dad played for the Braves and Kurkowski.

Through late last week, Hawks had 24 strikeouts in 12 2/3 innings pitched. “He throws in the 90-to-93-MPH range,” noted Addison Braves pitcher and team marketing point person Alexandro Cardoza.

Wright struck out 24 batters in one game against the Westmont Red Sox, but Addison lost 2-0. The 24 strikeouts set a CSL record.

Mike Rostine was the catcher and had 21 putouts, which also was a Braves record. Wright is 0-2 with a 1.64 ERA and has 50 strikeouts in 22 innings of work.

The Braves also have been receiving key contributions from Chris Wildo (Chicago State) and Rostine (Elmhurst College).

“We have a wide variety of guys on the team who played at different colleges,” said Cardoza.

Veteran Braves second baseman Josh Dryden reached a milestone earlier this season when he got his 300th career hit in one of the leagues.

“He leads our team in modern stats with those 300 hits,” said Cardoza.

Cardoza said the 2018 season has been a mixed bag thus far. “We have a good group of guys,” he said. “We have good pitching this year, but our offense has struggled. We’ve pitched very well but the hitting has been a struggle. We get a lot of guys in scoring position and we can’t score them.”

Rostine has been a big bright spot at the plate, batting .468 on the season with a teamhigh 26 hits. “He’s been very persistent at the plate,” said Cardoza.

Through late last week, Addison was 1-9 in the CSBL and 5-12 in Wisconsin State League

play.

Cardoza is another one of the veterans on the team, now in his sixth season as a left-handed pitcher. He’s a product of Norwich University Military College of Vermont and went to Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago.

“The program is strong,” he said. “The guys are committed to the team and to Larry. Larry still is going strong. We have a good core group of guys coming back to the team every year.”

The Braves recently hosted a dog rescue event during one of their doubleheaders and will have their second-annual alumni game and picnic on July 29 at 1 p.m.

The Braves have a busy schedule this week with games against the Kenosha Kings, Oswego Cats (Thursday, 8 p.m.), West Allis (Saturday, doubleheader starting at 5 p.m.) and Hammond Lakers (Sunday, doubleheader starting at 1 p.m.). All games this week are at home at Community Park in Addison.

459 Spring Rd. & 463 Spring Rd., Elmhurst, IL 60126

Thank you to our customers for your trust and business, to all our co-workers who have put up with us through the years, to all our well wishers who we have worked within different capacities in our community and thank you City of Elmhurst for providing the environment we live in and work in.

I am writing this on behalf of my family for the gratefulness we feel for the support and atmosphere we have to thrive as a second generation business.

I grew up in India and came here as an automobile engineer at the age of 21 with my mother to join my brother and his family who were settled here.

I went to school in Norridge, Illinois to study auto mechanics and body and fender repair, and painting. While studying I was working in Elk Grove as an electronic technician where I met, Kim, my wife.

My dream was to go back to India. When we are young and idealistic, we want to change the world, I am not that young anymore, but the rest remains the same. I convinced Kim to move to India after living here for 5 years with Shawn our first born son.We moved back to Ahmedabad, India where I grew up. Kim was born and raised in Minnesota and took time adjusting to the life there, but adapted to the lifestyle. Family life, circle of friends and even business life was good, but I had left as a student and returned as a business person and could not adjust to the corruption in routine life and later on the attitude of co-workers who take your goodness as weakness and that started affecting my health. Our sons Sheroy and Shazad were born in India. Having three little kids and not even thirty years old, I had to make the hard choice, do I give up my dreams or do I give up my principles. Seemed like a lose-lose situation, but I decided to put the dreams on hold and came back to the Chicago area where I stayed with my brother Kayo and his family.

In 1983 we found a gas station and repair shop in Oak Brook and signed a five year lease and started Mehta Motors.

Kim was the cashier and pumped gas and I worked on cars. Our upbringing of honesty and hard work paid off and business grew and when our lease was to expire our landlord doubled the rent thinking they had a captive tenant who had built a good business at the location. We did not want to go through the same situation again so we started looking for a place of our own and happened to find our current location in Elmhurst.

We mortgaged everything we had and more as we had to get personal loans from family and friends to come up with the down payment for this property in June of 1988. We have gone through highs and lows in the years we have been here.

We have three sons who we are very proud of, Shawn, Sheroy and Shazad. After finishing their studies they worked other places for experience before joining our business. We feel blessed in feeling that they have retained our habit of honesty and hard work and have grown our business.

I am happy to say that I kept my principles and did not give into the corruption and assimilate in that environment. I am mature enough to know that there is corruption everywhere, but at my level in my daily life I have not experienced it here.

We have gone through different phases in Elmhurst from hiring, to purchasing, to dealing with EPA when we had to get rid of our gas station, to construction and building. We have never been approached for any kind of favors from anyone.

We believe in giving more than we promise and somehow in my life experience we have gotten more than we can give.

Once again, our gratitude to all who have provided us with the resources and opportunity to become who we are today.

I will end with my favorite line, I am grateful to my family and upbringing and to the city where I grew up Ahmedabad, India for giving me my roots. And to my family, all loved ones and all in Elmhurst, USA for giving us the fruits of a contented and happy life for the past thirty years.

THANK YOU once again!

Love and good thoughts, Hosi

Elmhurst American Legion baseball teams draw high mid-season marks Senior team powered by hitting and pitching; Junior team clicking in various categories

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

At the halfway point of the American Legion baseball season, Elmhurst Post 187 manager Mike Biondo can’t complain.

Both the Elmhurst Muddogs senior (U19) and junior (U17) Legion teams have made progress as the playoffs inch closer.

On the senior front, Elmhurst lost a tough 8-7 game to DuPage County rival Wheaton recently.

“We dropped the ball a few times against them,” he said. “We had a lot of errors in that game.”

On the positive side, Biondo said the Muddogs have been strong with the sticks and on the mound. “The bats are there, but we are struggling defensively,” he said. “We are averaging three or four errors a game. It’s something we need to work on. As far as the pitching and hitting, we’re on target and where we need to be. We just need to take care of the baseball and then we will be fine.”

Offensively through late last week, Brendan Russ was leading the senior team in hitting with a robust .600 average. Nick Lee was at .571, while Joe Orrico was hitting .400 and Jack Enright was at .353, while Mason Kamp checked in at .333. Orrico and Kamp were tied for the team lead in stolen bases with three each. Elmhurst had a .302 team batting average through late last week and had 18 stolen bases as a team.

On the mound, Russ was 1-1 with a 2.50 ERA and had 24 strikeouts against only six walks.

“We’ve had some very solid pitching outings,’ said Biondo.

“Brendan Russ has been outstanding.”

Jordan Vogel was 1-0 with a 1.58 ERA and had 12 strikeouts against four walks. “Jordan has stepped it up,” said Biondo. “His control is a lot better.”

Elmhurst had a team ERA of 3.77 with 46 strikeouts against 16 walks. “As long as we take care of the ball we should beat teams 6-2, 6-1, 6-0. I like the way we are hitting and pitching. The biggest thing is taking care of the baseball.”

The Muddogs were 3-4 through their first seven games. Post 187 had eight games remaining prior to the American Legion postseason starting.

Junior Legion shining On the junior Legion front, Elmhurst sported a 7-4 overall mark through late last week.

“The junior team is doing quite well,” said Biondo. “They are putting it all together.”

The junior Muddogs were hitting .330 as a team through late last week and had 35 stolen bases as a team. “They are very aggressive on the bases,” said Biondo, who added the team was averaging seven runs scored a game.

Alexis Cotto was leading the team with a .531 batting average, while Nathan Kriz was at .500 and Tommy Ryan was hitting .429 and Jose Alvarez was at .355.

“Offensively the team is doing a great job,” said Biondo.

On the mound, Dave Sykora was 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA to go with eight strikeouts and only two walks. “Dave has been pretty much untouchable,” said Biondo.

Massimo Cortez was 1-1 with a 2.27 ERA and had eight strikeouts against three walks. “He’s been a blessing in disguise with his work on the mound,” said Biondo.

Tyler Gelsomino was 1-0 with a 3.18 ERA and had nine strikeouts against five walks.

Elmhurst had a 5.50 team ERA through late last week. “The top three guys on the staff in particular have done a good job,” said Biondo.

The junior Legion team won the Danville tournament, capping things off with a win over Charleston American Legion. Elmhurst finished the Danville tournament with a 5-0 record.

“The momentum is good,” said Biondo. “The senior team needs to find itself on defense and the junior team is clicking. They have been clicking from the start. I think that will continue right into the playoffs. As long as the senior team takes care of the baseball and where its pitching and hitting are at, I can see them doing some damage, but the key thing is to take care of the baseball.”
