Romance comes to Elmhurst Hospital After health scare, Villa Park couple decides to wed right now

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE VILLA PARK INDEPENDENT

“I’d asked her before to marry me,” said Tom King, the groom in a last-minute impromptu wedding hat took place on Saturday, June 10 in the chapel of Elmhurst Hospital.

“She just always put it off.”

His lady-friend-now-wife Alexandria Dolezal, who goes by Alex, changed her mind after Tom suffered a recent heart attack. The episode gave Alex a bit of a shake-up so Tom insisted they get married immediately — which they did in a few days.

The story begins The story actually begins on Wednesday, June 7 when the Villa Park resident was feeling uncomfortable and decided to go to the hospital.

“I wasn’t feeling well, it began to feel like there were two elephants sitting on my chest,” Tom recalled. “It wasn’t until I got to the emergency room that I actually had a heart attack. They ended up doing CPR and had to ‘zap’ me a couple of times with the defibrillator.”

Tom ended up in surgery, where doctors installed a stent. After that, he just needed a few days to convalesce and then was to be released to go home.

Time to make a decision “Alex and I have been together for five years,” he said. “I had asked her to marry me before, but that was DEE LONGFELLOW PHOTO Villa Park Independent always the end of the conversation Alexandria Dolezal and Tom King hold hands during their wedding ceremony held on Saturday, June 10 in the chapel of Elmhurst Memorial right there.

Cilella, 63, has been a resident of Villa Park for 29 years. He is retired from public works positions at Addison and Lombard, a career that spanned more than 30 years. During his campaign for Trustee, Cilella cited his municipal experience as an asset. He also said he would work to make Villa Park more attractive to businesses in an effort to increase revenues and alleviate the tax burden on residents.

“I have a passion [working] for municipalities, I can make a difference,” Cilella said during the candidate’s forum held ahead of the election.

suspend all construction projects as of June 30, including $2.2 billion in planned infrastructure projects. While it primarily affects the construction industry, the impact will be felt acrossthe-board in all economic sectors.

Not to mention, increased reliance on unemployment insurance and a reduction of income tax collections from workers would only worsen the state’s current budget woes.

“In addition to the obvious inconvenience and safety risks that remaining work zones pose for travelers and commuters, a shut-down will depress economic activity and increase financial burdens to taxpayers across the state,” said study co-author Mary Craighead.

Last year, the state avoided a shutdown by enacting a full-year funding measure.

In light of the ongoing stalemate in the state legislature, the report notes that suspending IDOT projects will provide no immediate budget relief, since the projects are already covered by federal aid, state fuel taxes and user fees, and local sources. The funding is restricted to transportation only and is protected by a Constitutional Amendment passed in November of 2016 by almost 80% of Illinois voters.

“Illinois voters have spoken clearly about the importance of making improvements to our vital infrastructure above partisan politics,” Craighead said. “As they did last year, state leaders must act to prevent the most devastating effects of a shut-down by simply enacting an appropriations bill that releases funding that is already available.”

Healthy and Happy

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.

Viewpoint Slices of life I used to live a carefree life. I didn’t worry about the future or wars or the economy. I drove on sketchy roads up mountains and even climbed those mountains on occasion. I spent too much money on impractical shoes.

I ordered my chili extra spicy and wore white after Labor Day. I rode a bike without a helmet and drove a car without a seatbelt. I ate fast food and drank sloe gin. I held snakes, dined on sushi and rode rollercoasters with both hands in the air. And then everything changed.

I had kids. Four of them to be exact.

Oh sure, kids bring love and liveliness and spirit and stickiness to your life. They make you think and rethink everything. They also cause you to pay attention to words like safety, security, practical, pragmatic, logical and legal. They add fun and take it away all at the same time. They turn you into a grown up.

After kids I replaced my other-

The joy of worrying By

JILL PERTLER Contributor

wise boisterous and rowdy behavior with responsible adulthood. I read nutrition labels, checking for sodium levels and sugar content. I carried sunscreen in my purse and a first aid kit in the car. I learned CPR. I fastened seatbelts and drank pure spring water. I developed uneasiness when confronted with rollercoasters or sketchy roads. I cut grapes in half. I fretted about someone putting an eye out.

Worrying jumped to the top of my to-do list.

I discovered there are countless

ideas, entities and possibilities a person can choose to worry about.

Car seats. Crib safety. Cabinet locks. Choking hazards. Colic.

Croup. Cleanliness. Cross contamination. Crossing the street. Complications. Collisions. Contusions. Capsizing. Climate concerns. Catastrophes. Clowns.

Life is about attachments, and not just the jpg or pdf varieties. When you are carefree you don’t have attachments. Kids are attachments – sometimes even in the literal sense when they grab onto your leg and won’t let go on the first day of preschool and you worry maybe you are pushing them to grow up too fast – or then again maybe you should have enrolled them a year earlier.

Worry hinges on love and loss.

When you attach to someone other than yourself, your world becomes bigger with possibilities – for love but also for loss. Once you love something, the possibility exists for

hurting or losing it, and that can bring about worry.

Having tiny beings dependent on you for their very existence can feel like a weighty responsibility – because it is. So most parents worry.

Maybe all parents worry. I suspect so.

And here’s something they don’t tell you in Lamaze class: the worry never ends. In some ways it gets bigger. Like an expanding belly during nine months of anticipation, it grows with them – through preschool, middle school, high school and beyond.

When they are young and dependent you worry you will fail them. Forget a permission slip. Show up late to the dance recital. Neglect to teach them proper manners. Give them the wrong dose of medicine. Be too strict – or too lenient.

When they are young all these worries are within your control.

When they grow up and gain independence the angst is still there, but it doesn’t hinge on your actions; it

hinges on theirs and that loss of control can be even more terrifying than parenthood itself.

But if you put it into perspective, it’s manageable. It has to be. Parents love their children; they’ve doing so for eons. This love creates a vulnerability that results in worry. And joy.

And excitement. And happiness. And fulfillment. And accomplishment.

And contentment. And unconditionality. And hopefulness. And peace.

Talk about the good outweighing the bad.

I used to live a carefree life and then I traded it in for parenthood. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

No, better make that four heartbeats.

In addition to sun bathing this summer, try some forest bathing, too

We’ve all know sunbathing, the glorious feel of warm sun on our skin, and you may now have heard about “forest bathing.” Getting out in nature, particularly in green spaces, is good for the soul. The Japanese have coined a term for it - Shinrin-yoku - which means taking in the forest atmosphere and has been dubbed “forest bathing.”

The idea is simple. Go into the forest and just be. Don’t run or jog, walk. Take it all in. Sit. Lie down if you want. Breathe. Just like being in the sun gives us Vitamin D, being in the forest gives us nourishment.

Supposedly the idea/term has been around since the 1980s and forest bathing has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine.

Many of our ancestors would call

By

KELLY SIMMONS Columnist

it common sense, but there is now scientific research and literature across the world to support the benefits of taking a hike. This concept is not about the physical exercise.

It’s about simply being in the green dense lush wonderland of trees all around you.

Anyone who has ever gone for a walk in the woods has experienced the calming effect, the restorative sense of peace. The busy mind slows down. Blood pressure low-

ers. Increased energy level and improved sleep are other benefits.

I have long known that the trees do it for me. Some people go to the ocean and sit. They listen and watch the waves. I think that kind of “water bathing” does the same effect. I prefer the forest to the ocean. But being out on the lake in the kayak surrounded by trees on the shore, now that is a slice of heaven.

To each his own, but some kind of nature bathing is key to overall health and well-being, and is available all around us. Studies show that kids with ADHD have more ability to focus after forest bathing, and that’s true for all us. Less stress.

Better mood. Ahhh….

If you are feeling a little uptight, and want to get out of the sun for a bit, go for a stroll in the woods. You

won’t need sunscreen but might want bug spray. We have been out a lot in many different forest preserves this year and have not gotten bitten up. And, knock on wood, no ticks. (I hear a drop of peppermint oil will release the tick like magic.)

You can start small by taking a slow drive through a park. Driving in the woods feels good for me too and I swear it boosts my immune system and increases my overall happiness level just like walking in the woods.

My Prince and I love to walk the woods and also sit and just be. We picnic, we read, we talk, we do art.

Give us a grove of pines and we are tickled with delight. It’s no coincidence that we walked on a floor of pine needles through a small forest to the clearing where we were mar-

ried at an outdoor labyrinth. We just simply know we like the woods. We don’t need any studies or Japanese term, but it’s fun to see that science proves what we instinctly know.

John Muir said, “Keep close to Nature’s heart... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.

Wash your spirit clean.” You don’t need to spend a week in the woods, but an hour a week will do wonders for your health and mood.

Give this type of forest therapy a try. Let me know how you feel!

Pictured is Dr. Donald Lussky, a neurologist at Elmhurst Hospital, with his patient Tom King, who had a heart attack on June 7. Mr. King and his lady-friend Alexandria Dolezal decided to get married — right there in the hospital chapel before he checked out — and Dr. Lussky had no objection.

DEE LONGFELLOW PHOTOS Villa Park Independent

Above: This is the group that gathered to attend the wedding of Tom King and Alexandria Dolezal, held in the chapel at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital.

Right: Mr. and Mrs. Tom King cut the cake following their wedding held in the hospital chapel. The Elmhurst Hospital Pastoral Care department helped out by arranging for a cake and flowers.

• Romance

(Continued from front page)

the hospital spent Thursday and Friday planning the entire wedding to take place in the chapel the following morning. Carol even pulled together a wedding dress for Alex.

If you know Elmhurst Hospital, they don’t just stand aside, they get involved. This time was no different.

The Elmhurst Hospital Pastoral Care stepped in to help and took care of a wedding cake and flowers. They also arranged for coffee to be served after the ceremony with the cake.

The hospital staff took Tom down to the chapel that morning, still hooked up to his heart monitor.

“Two nurses came along and stayed through the ceremony to make sure nothing bad happened,” Tom said.

After all that, Tom was discharged on Monday, June 12 and went home to further recover — from his health issues AND the wedding.

Forest Preserve District 2017-18 budget approved The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County approved a budget for fiscal year 2017-2018 that reflects decreased spending versus the prior year and continues to demonstrate the agency’s value to DuPage County residents.

Stevenson named executive director of Forest Preserve District

Ed Stevenson has been named executive director for the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County.

“I’m very pleased to formalize Ed Stevenson’s role as executive director for the District,” said Forest Preserve District of DuPage County President Joe Cantore. “Ed is a tenured member of our leadership team, and in his time overseeing our business enterprises he has demonstrated a keen ability to think creatively, manage big projects, reduce expenses and grow relationships. He’s proven he has the necessary skills and experience to lead this organization.”

Stevenson, who has worked fulltime for the District since 2004, has been serving as interim executive director since November 2016 and has also served as director of golf operations for the District since 2011. He will continue to have direct involvement in the oversight of the District’s golf operations.

“I’m excited to continue working with a very talented District staff and a Board of Commissioners that is passionate about serving DuPage County residents,” said Stevenson.

“The District’s future looks bright, and it’s a privilege to lead an organization that preserves natural resources and connects people to nature.”

Stevenson has recently overseen a major environmental restoration project at The Preserve at Oak Meadows in Addison, which will reopen for golf this summer. Work has included improving stormwater management, providing greater water quality in Salt Creek, enhancing habitat for fish and other aquatic species, and providing the public with a premier 18-hole public golf destination rivaling any in the Midwest.

Under Stevenson’s guidance in the months ahead, District staff will begin working on several major initiatives, including the initiation of a District-wide master plan and the construction of a fleet management building at Blackwell Forest Preserve and a two-lane entrance bridge at McDowell Grove Forest Preserve.

“I think it’s a very sound, fiscally responsible budget that reflects wise use of the financial resources available to the District,” said Jack Hogan, the District’s director of Administration & Finance.

Initiatives slated for funding in 2017-2018 include prairie and wetland restoration at Night Heron Marsh, Cricket Creek and Springbrook Prairie, the indoor riding arena at St. James Farm, a new fleet management facility at Blackwell, a parking lot at Dunham and a raptor dorm at Willowbrook Wildlife Center.

The budget also reflects a continued focus on operating efficiencies and shared services with DuPage County.

“The budget embodies continued operational efficiencies while still providing high-quality services and programs for DuPage County residents,” said Forest Preserve District of DuPage County President Joe Cantore.

“The Board of Commissioners constantly challenges staff to find new operational efficiencies, and they consistently succeed in their efforts.”

Orthodontic U P DAT E

An average of 2 percent of a DuPage County homeowner’s tax bill funds the District’s budget. For example, a homeowner with property that has an assessed valuation of $300,000 pays only $160 annually to the District.

Of that $160, $80 funds the agency’s annual operations to ensure taxpayers enjoy numerous services within the District’s nearly 26,000 acres of land, 60 forest preserves,

TOOTH STRAIGHTENING

While the Invisalign tooth-straightening system uses a series of clear plastic aligners to straighten teeth under an orthodontist’s supervision, some companies have been

by Jeffrey T. Boland offering direct-to-consumer clear aligners Specialist thatLicensed bypass Orthodontic the orthodontist.

Is this a good idea? The American Association of Orthodontists doesn’t think so and warns consumers against moving teeth without an initial exam and continuing supervision by an orthodontist. To begin with, bypassing the orthodontist completely omits an all-important oral health assessment and diagnosis. Beyond that, consumers of mail-order aligners must take their own impressions, which form the basis of treatment. Most directto-consumer companies only offer 20 sequential aligners, while orthodontists often use three to four times that number.

Tooth straightening at home poses risks that outweigh any monetary savings.

It is a common misconception that orthodontic treatment is just about having straighter teeth. While this is true, a good orthodontist will enhance your overall dental health. This will result in improvements in breathing, speaking, sleeping and eating.

To schedule a free orthodontic consultation, please call our office. Our doctors are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of orthodontic care, in a clean comfortable environment, centrally located in Chicago’s Western Suburbs. Smiles Are Our Specialty!

P.S. Many orthodontists deem that an in-person exam is critical to looking for untreated cavities and underlying gum infections that should be addressed before any teeth straightening is done.

600 acres of lakes and 145 miles of trails.

The remaining $80 funds voter-approved referendums.

Residents can view the budget and see how the District allocates resources on the annual budget page on the District’s website at dupageforest.org, where you can also link to the District’s e-newsletter, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube pages.

New child support law takes effect July 1 Will be based on the combined net income of both parents

As of July 1, child support will no longer be based on the net income of the non-custodial parent, rather, it will be based on the combined net income of both parents.

Changes to the current child support law in Illinois will significantly change how child support is calculated in Illinois, according to family law attorney Jennifer Guimond-Quigley.

Currently, child support is calculated by a formula based solely on

the non-custodial parent’s income.

The new law will have an “income shares” model, based on the child receiving proportional support based on both parents’ income. This is accomplished by using a calculation that includes published data on child rearing costs and both parties’ incomes. Many other states have already adopted this model, finding it to be a more fair approach to child support.

Some of the main characteristics of the “income shares” model include: Will be based on the combined net income of both parents - Under the new law, the court is instructed to “calculate child support based upon the parent’s combined adjusted net income estimated to have been allocated to the child if the parents

and children were living in an intact household.” Guidelines for how much money should be allocated for the care of the child will be put forth by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (IDHFS).

Shared Parenting - The new law allows adjustments to child support for “shared parenting” situations, which means situations where each parent has the child for at least 146 overnights per year. Basic child support, in this scenario, is multiplied by 1.5 to account for additional costs to care for the child, including transportation between the two residences.

Then, both parties’ net incomes and the parenting time allocated to each parent is taken into account before determining the final child support obligation.

Additional Expenses - These can include extracurricular activities, medical/health care expenses, education and child care costs. If the parties cannot agree, a court has the discretion to order one or both parties to contribute to these expenses.

These changes are important for both custodial and non-custodial parents.

Even if you have a child support order in place, it can still be modified.

For parents who already have a child support order in place, these rules may still be relevant if family or financial circumstances change and the order needs to modified. The order cannot, however, be modified by only citing the new law as the reason for modification.

Addison Trail summer baseball team enjoying new format Blazers mixing game play with practice sessions

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

So far, so good.

That’s the report Addison Trail baseball coach Mike Kennedy has concerning a new approach to the summer season.

Kennedy cut back on the team’s summer games this year in favor of more practice sessions and more rest for his players during the week in advance of weekend travel-team competition.

“We have a week to go in the summer season and so far we’ve done well,” he said. “We’re playing well and we’re getting a lot of help from

the young guys. We use Monday and Wednesday as camp practice days.

The guys appreciate getting that practice time in.”

Through late last week, Addison Trail was 4-2 in game action.

The Blazers went 3-1 in four games against Plano, defeated Elgin Larkin and lost to Streamwood.

Earlier this week the Blazers continued another new innovation by splitting its team into three separate teams to play three games against West Chicago.

“Everybody gets to play,” said Kennedy.

Kennedy has seen plenty of things

Athletic teams rack up all-conference, all-academic honors Fenton athletes recognized for sporting accomplishments Ten girls track participants earn all-conference honors

By Mike Miazga

CORRESPONDENT

A total of 10 Fenton girls track student-athletes have been recognized for their accomplishments in the sport.

Briana Aldama, Trisha Butz, Cassidy Feddersen, Cassidy Kelly, Katrina Krebasch, Sarah Mason, Hanna Matuzewski, Jessica McCauley, Mackenzie Miller and Stephany Padilla earned all-Metro Suburban Conference Blue Division honors this past spring.

In girls softball, Jenna Geraci and Anaisa Lazada were all-conference performers. Maria Lara and Lizbeth Reyes earned all-conference recognition in girls soccer.

Jeremy Lodewyck was all-conference in boys track and field. Jeffrey and Joseph Andrews were all-conference in boys’ tennis, while Ricardo Jesus Torres Gomez was all-conference in boys’ gymnastics. Gerrett Focht and Bryan Larsen were all-conference in baseball.

For the winter season, Larsen was all-conference in boys basket-

ball. Nikolas Fischer and Conrad Oberski were all-conference in boys swimming and diving. Dylan Butts, Nikko Castaneda, Kacper Piskorz, Ryan Mencini, Angel Nava and Ivan Rodriguez were all-conference in wrestling.

Amari Benbow was all-conference in girls basketball. Charity Bullis, Faith Bullis, Rachel Matug and Maris Santore were all-conference in cheerleading, while Leslie Aguirre, Lauren Buena, Leslie Castillo and Lauren Gadomski were all-conference in dance force.

During the fall season, Lodewyck, Christian Sanchez and Jose Vazquez-Perez were all-conference in boys cross-country. Butts, Carlos Mercado and Kyle Cacioppo were all-conference in football. Andrew Hill was all-conference in golf.

Angel Barriga, Gerardo Lopez, Abel Carrera and Alioune Mbaye were all-conference in boys soccer.

Cassidy Feddersen was all-conference in swimming and Paulina Milanowski was all-conference in girls volleyball.

he likes so far this summer. “I like that the young guys have come in and competed right away,” he said.

“We’re also getting some great leadership from some of the older players. We have a good handful of kids coming back. They know they have to play one day a week here and play hard. They come to play here and then go with their travel teams and have some more success.”

Kennedy has been pleased with how his new summer format has unfolded.

“You could consider these the dog days of playing in the summer,” he said.

“Before you could play six games during the week for your high school and then go play as many as eight for your travel team. That’s 14 games in a week. That’s excessive and it’s hard on a kid’s body. Kids get burned out. With this new format, you come in and you get done what you need to get done. It’s two practice days

“

We’re done by the Fourth of July now.

Let the kids get on with their summer.”

– Mike Kennedy, Addison Trail baseball coach

and it’s an hour-and-a-half a day.

It’s beautiful. They get the work in and fine-tune things and then they go back and play with their travel teams.

They are getting in extra work with their swings and getting their fielding on par here. It’s been a good approach this summer.”

Kennedy lauded the recent play of

Simon Marinelli, in particular.

“I can’t say enough good things about Simon,” said Kennedy. “He was academic all-state this spring and all-conference. He hit .400 and just went to the junior showcase event and had a double and a single and nobody stole a base on him. He’s continues to impress every time. He takes younger guys under his wing and is helping them with their catching. He’s taken a leadership role. He enjoys helping out. When he leaves here he wants to make sure he’s leaving behind the plate in a good spot.”

Matt Crandall and Bryan Hidalgo-Oritz also have impressed. “Matt has been good on the mound. He didn’t pitch a lot in the spring,” said Kennedy. “Bryan has had a few big hits for us. He’s been impressive.”

Addison Trail was scheduled to end its summer season Wednesday.

“We’re done by the Fourth of July now,” said Kennedy. “Let the kids get on with their summer.”

Godinez looking forward to taking over IC Catholic Prep girls soccer team

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Tony Godinez is quite familiar with the architect of the greatest season in IC Catholic Prep girls soccer history.

Godinez coached with former IC Catholic Prep girls’ coach Tom Schergen at Mount Carmel in Chicago, Maria and Queen of Peace.

Godinez is IC Catholic Prep’s new girls’ coach after Schergen stepped down as the Knights’ girls’ coach when he was promoted to president of the school. Schergen directed the Knights to an appearance in the state semifinals this past spring.

“I’ve known Tom for quite some time,” Godinez said. “We’ve known each other back to our days at De La Salle High School. He was a senior and I was a sophomore. He’s done a very good job with the athletic programs at IC. He asked me if I was interested in coaching there.”

Godinez said he went and watched IC Catholic Prep play in the state playoffs.

“I watched them play and I thought it would be a good fit for me,” he said. “Their center-midfield is very strong and I noticed the girls work very well together. I also saw a lot of potential. They have even more to give. In another year I see them improving even more with the

speed of the game and getting their soccer IQ even higher. I saw them play U-High and they were very focused and very determined to win.

They fought for the win and ended up making school history.

Godinez, who played soccer at De La Salle and at Lewis University in Romeoville, already has met with the team. “I was introduced to the girls about four weeks ago and talked to them,” he said. “We want to help these girls get to the next level. I’ve coached more than 40 kids who have played or are playing college soccer. There are four or five girls here who are interested in playing at the next level. I would love to help them with that process and help them understand what coaches are looking for and how you get to that point and be a great student-athlete in high school and college.”

IC Catholic Prep’s new coach said specific team goals have not yet been set.

“I know they want to do even better than they did last season,” said Godinez. “They took fourth and there is a strong possibility they can do the same or even better. It’s a matter of setting goals and achieving them. A state championship is always the goal when you have gone downstate the previous year.”
