Board issues bonds for village infrastructure, library remodeling

By Paul DelGuidice FOR THE VILLA PARK INDEPENDENT

Nearly three months after voters gave the Village of Villa Park the green-light to issue property taxbacked bonds to be used for infrastructure improvements and another bond issue to pay for library remodeling, the first such issue of bonds is ready.

Obtaining a favorable interest rate on the bonds was a critical step in the process, according to Village staff.

With the Villa Park Finance Department working closely with financial advisors Speer Financial, interest rates have been locked in for the first bond issues. The close, or sale, of the bonds should take place in the first week of August, according to Finance Director Kevin Wachtel.

“We’re very pleased with the result, it is exactly on target with what we expected with the markets,” he said of the infrastructure bonds.

Designated Series 2017B, the short-term (five-year) bonds in the amount of $1.15 million will carry an interest rate of 2.06%. This issue will be used for public infrastructure projects, including (but not limited to) storm water drainage improvements in connection with the Jackson Pond improvement project and a portion of the Michigan Ave. improvement project, according to Village staff.

“With an overall true interest cost of 2.06%, it’s a really good rate,” said Wachtel.

The Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve this bond issue at the rates indicated.

Discussion continues on library bonds The Board then moved on to discussion and a vote on the first trench, or portion, of the total approved library bond issue. This portion, in the amount of $5 million, is designated

Series 2017C and will be followed in a year by another bond issue in the amount of $5.6 million. The first trench of bonds will carry an overall interest rate of 3.35% and a 20-year term. “[A rate of] 3.35% is a fantastic rate, we are very pleased with that,” Wachtel said. “Our bond team was very aggressive with that and we are

pleased with the end result.”

The funds received from issuing the bonds will be used to start remodeling the library. Planned upgrades include an addition to the current library, upgrades to equipment and environmental systems as well as acquisition of new library materials and storage facilities.

Market conditions make bond prices favorable According to Wachtel, the market conditions were very favorable for the bond pricing. The library bonds will also close in the first week of August.

“This will not exceed 10.6 million, right?” asked Trustee Don Kase.

“That is correct,” Wachtel said.

“The referendum authorization is for $10.6 million par value of bonds.”

Trustee Cheryl Tucker asked if the rates were locked in.

“This is the overall rate we will pay,” said Wachtel, “The longer term rate bonds have a coupon rate

‘Jumpstart Your Health’ helps head off diabetes for those at high risk When Doris Courts, 78, was diagnosed with pre-diabetes several years ago, she was determined to do all she could to avoid full-blown diabetes.

She had seen too many of her family members and acquaintances with the disease suffer serious complications.

The retired reading teacher started the battle by focusing on weight loss.

She used Weight Watchers and other weight management programs. She lost 22 pounds through those efforts, but did not improve her A1C level, a test used to diagnose diabetes and pre-diabetes.

In early spring 2016, Courts visited the Diabetes Learning Center at Elmhurst Hospital in search of programs that might help.

“I was able to get into the Center’s Jumpstart Your Health program,” Courts said.

Jumpstart Your Health is a free, one-year program for adults who

have prediabetes or risk factors for diabetes, such as a family history of the disease, high cholesterol or blood pressure, excess weight, or a history of gestaDoris Courts tional diabetes.

Registered dietitian Julie Sanfilippo, a lifestyle coach with the Center, leads the Jumpstart program, which follows guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control.

“Our goal is to help people reduce the risk of developing diabetes,” said Sanfilippo. “Research suggests that lifestyle changes are twice as effective as medications in preventing diabetes. That’s why we focus on nutrition, exercise, behavior modification and stress management.”

Sanfilippo says typical goals for individual group members might be to lose 5 to 7 percent of their weight and complete 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week.

Before joining Jumpstart, Courts had cut way back on her water aerobics and gym workouts. Once in Jumpstart, she committed to becoming more active again. Courts created her own at-home exercise program that she follows diligently five days a week.

Courts said, “I do an hour on the treadmill and 40 minutes of exercises based on the physical therapy routines I’d been given.”

Courts also faithfully attended her Jumpstart sessions, which were held at the Edward-Elmhurst Health Center in Lombard. Meetings were held weekly for the first three months, every two weeks for the second three months, and monthly for the last

half-year.

“The program led to a complete lifestyle change for me,” said Courts.

“Julie (Sanfilippo) is excellent and very nice. She taught us how to make healthy food choices and control portions. She also stressed the importance of tracking what we’d eaten. That included whether we stayed within the allowance of fat grams she’d given each of us. We tracked our exercise, too. We were given a pedometer and encouraged to walk 10,000 steps a day.”

How did Courts stay motivated?

“Being part of a group makes you feel more accountable,” she said.

“There was a lot of sharing of ideas, personal experiences and recipes.

Everyone was cordial, and several even brought in samples of food they thought the others would like.”

Courts is happy to report that she

met her personal goals.

“I’m no longer classified as pre-diabetic. My A1C is within the normal range,” Courts said. “My other numbers are good, too. Cholesterol is down 25 points, glucose is down and my sed rate (a measure of inflammation in the body) dropped. I also lost 21 pounds. I feel so much better.”

As a next step, she joined a support group of other Jumpstart graduates that will meet every two months at Elmhurst Hospital.

The Jumpstart Your Health program is funded by grants from the Lions Club International Foundation – in conjunction with the local Elmhurst Lions Club and Lions District 1J – and the Elmhurst Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Cronin remarks on County Board member named to State Senate

County Board Chairman Dan Cronin released the following statement about County Board member John Curran being named to the State Senate: “I would like to congratulate County Board Vice Chairman John Curran on being named to fill Christine Radagno’s vacant State Senate seat. Curran has been a strong leader and advocate for DuPage County. Whether it’s negotiating collec-

tive bargaining contracts for County employees, or working with representatives to find solutions to legislative issues as the Chairman of the County Board’s Legislative Committee, Curran has worked to find ways to save taxpayers money.

And his leadership as Vice Chairman of the Board has helped make DuPage County a great place to live, work and raise a family. While we will truly miss his work and his

dedication to DuPage County, we are happy to see him moving on to bigger challenges. I’m confident Springfield is gaining an asset who will fight to protect residents of Illinois.”

Cronin’s office said John Curran has served as a County Board member since 2008 and as Vice Chairman since 2012. His vacant seat will be filled by Chairman Cronin with the advice and consent of the

County Board. Residents of District 3, which includes parts of Downers Grove, Westmont, Burr Ridge, Hinsdale, Woodridge, Clarendon Hills, Darien and Willowbrook can apply for a position on the board. To view a map of the boundaries of District 3, visit dupageco.org/CountyBoard/Dist3Map. Under state election law, a new member must be appointed within 60 days of Curran’s resignation

from the Board and must be from the same political party – Curran is a Republican. The newly appointed Board member will serve the remainder of Curran’s term, which expires Nov. 30, 2018.

Anyone seeking appointment to the County Board should email a resume and letter of no more than 300 words outlining their interest to Chairman Cronin at dan.cronin@dupageco.org.

Some people have a habit of biting their lower lips, which not only leads to chapped lips, but it also pushes byout Jeffrey Boland teeth of their T. proper positions.

Licensed Orthodontic When the lower lip is Specialist persistently bitten or sucked, it may cause the upper front teeth to jut out over the lowers. Conversely, biting or sucking the top lip can cause the top front teeth to be pushed in. In either case, orthodontic treatment may be necessary to coax teeth back to their proper positions. The best approach is one that prevents the habit before it causes damage. Parents who notice that their children bite their lips after their permanent teeth begin to come in should see the orthodontist for an evaluation.

Grassroots efforts rewarded with passage of bill, governor’s signature

The Independent - Thursday, July 27, 2017 • 5VP

Rauner comes to area to sign ‘Charlie’s Law’ for PANDAS/PANS

Kate Drury likely didn’t think she’d wake up one day and find that her then-8-year-old son Charlie had seemingly become a different person; nor would she have known it was the beginning of a long journey that would end up in Springfield with a law partially named after him.

But, that’s where things are headed after a bill named Charlie’s Law, HB 2721, was slated to be signed by Gov. Bruce Rauner—at Drury’s Lombard home—on Tuesday, July 18.

The bill essentially states that individual and group insurance plans will be required to offer coverage for treatments of an illness referred to as PANDAS/PANS. Charlie’s own journey began with a strep throat in November 2012 and ended up—after many doctor visits—with a diagnosis of pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococci infections, or PANDAS. Symptoms of PANDAS vary but can include developing obsessive compulsive disorders, tics, an aversion to scents, phobias, behavioral aggression and age regression, to name a few.

Drury explained for “Out and About” back in 2013 how she sought psychiatric help for her son, but the medications increased his symptoms.

She then took Charlie to a doctor who discovered her son’s strep level was “off the charts.”

That doctor connected Drury with a local physician who happened to be an expert on PANDAS, and while a 28-day regimen of Augmentin provided improvement, Charlie was not fully healed.

When it was suggested that Charlie be given a treatment known as IVIG, or intravenous immunoglobulin, which replaces blood antibodies and is used therapeutically to treat other illnesses, the Drurys found out their insurance company would not cover any of the cost—$12,000 for one treatment.

While fundraisers helped raise money to help offset some of the family’s medical costs, Drury decided that it was worth fighting to get the treatment covered, so other families didn’t have to go through her experience.

She learned about Wendy Nawara—also with a son named Charlie who was diagnosed with PANDAS—who had formed a private parent group.

They and some others then launched a non-profit organization called PANDAS/PANS Advocacy, which led to their approaching local government, through Rep. Deb Conroy (D-Villa Park) and Sen. Tom Cullerton (D-Villa Park) to hopefully get legislation passed to provide insurance coverage for IVIG treatments.

Cullerton recalled how the women

Gov. Bruce Rauner came to the home of Kate Drury on Tuesday, July 18 to sign Charlie’s Law, which will allow children diagnosed with strep throat-related pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders—known as PANDAS/PANS—to receive intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatments that were previously denied by insurance companies. Looking on as Rauner signs the bill are (from left): Rep. Peter Breen, R-Lombard; Rep. Deb Conroy, D-Villa Park; Charlie Nawara and his mom, Wendy; and Charlie Drury and his mom, Kate. The law, named after the two Charlies, evolved through grass-roots efforts by Kate and Wendy to convince their local politicians to create legislation requiring insurers to cover the proven IVIG treatment.

went to Springfield campaigning for advocacy and awareness of PANDAS and PANS, or pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome.

He and Conroy listened, Cullerton continued, and realized, “The need was there to get insurance coverage.”

First came a task force/advisory council to educate and inform, the senator recounted, which “kept bringing more people into the fold,” from insurance company representatives to doctors and other health professionals, and others affected by the illness.

Drury remembers experiencing resistance from both the medical and insurance fields, and through experience, learned how to get the necessary documentation and facts to combat the skepticism.

Cullerton said the idea was not to rush into legislation requiring that insurance companies pay for IVIG treatment, but to educate those involved—about diagnosing PANDAS early on to take a proactive approach, and on how there is scientific evidence that IVIG therapy works on PANDAS patients.

Doctors, he continued, became proponents of the treatment and

“jumped on board” to help convince the insurance companies that the IVIG treatment was successful, and “that helped immensely.”

Drury related how it took some two months for her son to get the right diagnosis, after Charlie’s doctor at first did not believe PANDAS existed, especially after a follow-up strep test came up negative.

However, Drury continued, by then the antibodies were already doing damage to his brain. So, with Charlie’s Law, not only will parents be able to get coverage for IVIG treatments, but PANDAS/PANS will be recognized as a bona fide illness.

For instance, Charlie’s doctor, who initially didn’t believe in PANDAS/ PANS, ended up becoming a supporter, she related.

Charlie’s mom credits that turnaround for helping prevent a repeat of the illness after her other son Jack, then 4, developed symptoms—just weeks after Charlie’s IVIG treatment—that she recognized right away.

Early intervention with antibiotics, Drury emphasized, worked so that Jack did not require IVIG treatment.

After collaborating with such en-

tities as the National Institutes of Health to work on developing standards of care, the medical profession will “have it in their toolbox,” Drury emphasized.

Four years may seem like a long time to work on enacting legislation, Cullerton acknowledged, but “we wanted to make sure we had a good, solid plan from the beginning.”

That plan, which will be called Charlie’s Law — for both Charlies —passed in both the House and Senate, said the senator, adding that there was “incredible bipartisan support.”

Conroy agreed, echoing how it was “unanimously supported by both parties in both chambers.”

She later commented, “It was a privilege to be a part of team Charlie ... I became involved when Kate decided she never wanted another family to go through what her family had been through.”

“The PANDAS moms are a force to be reckoned with,” the representative said of Drury and Nawara, adding that at least three families have come forward children needing treatment.

Rep. Peter Breen (R-Lombard) also contributed to the passage of

HB 2721, saying he got involved this past March with encouragement from his wife, Margie.

He remembers there being some lingering opposition, and helped convince those legislators through “respectful contention” that the insurance companies were wrong not to cover IVIG treatments.

“It was the right thing to do,” Breen added.

Cullerton also pointed out how “it takes the federal government to set in motion a ‘standard of care,’ ” for which he and other legislators didn’t want to wait.

Now, the senator said proudly, other states are beginning to look to Illinois as a model for how to get such a treatment law enacted, and he credits Drury and Nawara for their tenacity.

They were “absolutely fantastic with sitting down with legislators from their home offices,” he praised, and said of his constituent, “I’m incredibly proud of the work Kate did.”

Drury is modest about her efforts, saying she did what any parent would do, including testifying in Springfield a number of times.

Hospital offers eight options for a more comfortable labor Many expectant moms worry about how they will cope with labor pain. Images on television and in movies don’t help ease those concerns.

“When you start to panic about how you will actually get this baby out of you, remind yourself that your body was made to grow and birth a baby,” said Lisa Chorzempa-Schainis, MD, an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB-GYN) with Elmhurst Memorial Medical Group. “It’s a natural process that women have been doing for centuries.”

Dr. Chorzempa-Schainis recommends being proactive to know what to expect during labor, including reading, attending childbirth classes and/or going on a hospital tour. She says the next step is to pick the right place to have your baby.

“Choose a hospital that meets your needs, with a balance of expertise and amenities, such as private birthing suites, and pain relief and alternative comfort measures, as well as prompt access to anesthesia services, if necessary,” she said.

Most importantly, plan to have someone there for support. Continuous emotional and physical support during labor, such as by a spouse or partner, family member, friend or doula, is associated with improved outcomes.

In addition, a certified nurse midwife (CNM) can offer significant benefits for expectant moms who want a positive, comfortable experience, according to Mary Saracco, CNM, MM, APN, Elmhurst Clinic.

“As advanced practice nurses, CNMs are trained and licensed in ways to help laboring women have a healthy birth using their own natural physiology, while avoiding unnecessary procedures that may interfere with that process,” said Saracco.

When the big day arrives, there are a number of ways — natural and pharmacological — to reduce pain and improve the labor and delivery experience: 1. Use attention-focused and relaxation techniques. Rhythmic breathing can help release tension and distract you from pain. You may also find comfort during and between contractions from a gentle massage on your hands, feet, shoulders or back, acupressure, music, aromatherapy and/or hypnotherapy.

2. Use warm and cold packs. Try a warm gel pack, hot moist towel or warm blanket in your low abdomen, low back or shoulders. The application of cold, such as an ice pack, frozen gel pack or cold moist cloth, can also help to reduce pain.

3. Take a shower or bath. Bathing in warm water during labor is a great way to relax and help relieve pain. Sit on a stool and direct a handheld showerhead on your front or back. Through its midwives, Elmhurst Hospital offers hydrotherapy or warm water immersion for labor and birth.

4. Try giving birth in alternative positions. It may be more comfortable and less painful for you to give birth in upright or side-lying positions rather than on your back. You may consider pushing when squatting, on your hands and knees, or

“

Keep in mind, having continuous support is key to comfort in labor.

The more personal attention and nurturing you can get, the more positive your experience will be and the better your chances for a safe, healthy birth.”

– Mary Saracco, CNM, MM, APN, Elmhurst Clinic

lying on your side.

5. Move around and change positions. Moving during labor has been found to enhance comfort and reduce pain. It can also help labor progress by gently moving the baby through the birth canal. Try walking, rocking, swaying, kneeling over a birthing ball or sitting backward in a chair.

6. Consider nitrous oxide. Unlike systemic drugs that can cause unwanted effects, nitrous oxide (a tasteless, odorless gas inhaled through a mask) is considered safe to use during labor and can provide relief from pain and anxiety. It also has a quick onset and quickly exits both the mother’s and baby’s system.

While alternative comfort measures are encouraged, Elmhurst Hospital is the first in DuPage County to offer this pain relief option for women in labor, and it has been adopted by both the hospital’s OB-GYNs and the Elmhurst Clinic midwives.

7. Try other pain medications.

Some women prefer opioids to “take the edge off” of the pain instead of an epidural, since this option doesn’t interfere with the ability to push during labor. Pain medication can be given as a shot, intravenously (IV) or through a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump, usually during the early stages of labor to avoid side effects for both mother and baby.

8. Choose an epidural. Epidural anesthesia is used by more than half of women giving birth. While it is the most effective form of pain relief for labor (as it “numbs” pain), an epidural has some disadvantages.

Talk with your physician to determine if this option is right for you.

“Keep in mind, having continuous support is key to comfort in labor,” says Saracco. “The more personal attention and nurturing you can get, the more positive your experience will be and the better your chances for a safe, healthy birth.”

Charlie Drury (center) was stricken with PANDAS when he was 8 years old, although it took time and a number of doctors to diagnose his condition. Now, after campaigning with another mom—Wendy Nawara, whose son, also named Charlie, had PANDAS—his mom Kate Drury has helped get a bill passed that will cover a treatment for PANDAS that insurance companies previously denied. Charlie is pictured with his sister Emma and his brother Jack, who was also diagnosed with PANDAS but it was caught early.

Elmhurst Hospital Emergency Department to expand Construction of $600,000 project begins in August

Elmhurst Hospital is beginning a renovation and expansion project that will increase the size of its Emergency Department (ED) from 31 to 39 rooms. The new rooms will be built in what is currently the Centralized Admissions Area, a unit adjacent to the ED. Construction will start in August and is targeted for completion in the fall.

The additional rooms are needed because of a dramatic increase in the number of patients seeking treatment in the ED. In calendar year (CY) 2012, its first full year of operation following the opening of the new Elmhurst Hospital in 2011, the ED had 51,190 patient visits. In CY 2016, 65,405 patients were treated in the ED, a 28 percent increase over 2012. The ED was originally designed to handle an annual volume of 55,000 patients.

“The surge in volume has resulted in overcrowding and an increase in wait times,” said Adam Johnson, Service Line Director, Emergency Medicine & Urgent Care Services. “It became very apparent that we needed more space to handle the number of patients coming through the ED.” The $600,000 project is funded by the Elmhurst Memorial Hospital (EMH) Foundation.

“The Emergency Department is one area of

“

We’re thankful to the many donors who’ve made this expansion possible.”

the hospital we’ll all likely visit at one time or another, either as a patient or with a loved one who needs treatment,” said Susan Tyburski, Executive Director, EMH Foundation. “We’re thankful to the many donors who’ve made this expansion possible.”

The Foundation’s efforts to support the ED expansion are part of ongoing efforts to raise funds to address other critical space and program needs at Elmhurst Hospital, including Critical Care and Inpatient Units, which are nearing or at full capacity on many days, as well as expansion of Behavioral Health Services and preventive programs at the Diabetes Learning Center.

“We’ve experienced a tremendous increase in demand for services in many areas of the hospital and our projections show the growth will continue,” said Pamela Dunley, President & CEO, Elmhurst Hospital. “We are looking to partner with members of our community to help address our space needs. Contributions to the Foundation are critical so we can continue providing the quality of care our residents deserve.”

From June 19 to 30, nearly 90 students participated in a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Camp at Willowbrook.

Participants attend Addison School District 4, District 45, Salt Creek School District 48 and District 88 (Addison Trail and Willowbrook high schools).

During the camp, students learned how to code apps for android devices, as well as how to program robots. The event was led by Addison Trail science teacher Matt Lindgren, in partnership with LearnTEC, Inc. District 88 Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Adam Cibulka said the districts are

thrilled to offer this experience.

“Providing a STEM Camp is a great opportunity for students to really dive into an area in which they’re interested,” Cibulka said.

“In the future, we hope to host more programs like this. We know this is the first step of many in terms of expanding this field to where we can engage students in this kind of next generation of technology, as well as the next generation of skills they need to be successful in these careers. We know these fields are in high demand in the workforce, and this camp aligns directly with our mission to help students be college and career ready.”

“They got to hear our stories,” she added.

Besides Illinois families, “It’s really going to help other states,” Drury said, adding that the advocacy organization is getting calls from families looking for help.

In the meantime, “We’re going to move forward with education,” Drury said, for medical, therapeutic and educational professionals.

She said that while the outcome is rewarding for families and children, and that going to Springfield has been “empowering,” at the same time, “It’s so bittersweet.”

That is, Drury continued, other children affected by PANDAS/ PANS, and who did not get the diagnosis or treatment right away, have had to suffer while waiting

for the legislation to pass.

“Now these kids are going to be able to have the tools,” she added.

As for Charlie, his mom says he remembers “bits and pieces” about his illness, such as being scared, not being able to eat or touch certain things, and the headaches.

At the same time, “Charlie’s excited; he’s proud,” Drury said.

The bottom line, though, for Drury, is, “These children are finally going to be recognized ... get their lives back.”

Willowbrook baseball team puts a wrap on summer season

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Willowbrook summer baseball team concluded its season with an 11-7 record.

After receiving a first-round bye in the regional portion of the state summer tournament, the Warriors dropped a 3-1 decision to Oak ParkRiver Forest in the second round of the regional.

“It was a great game,” said Willowbrook coach Vic Wisner. “Ryan Mintz was the starting pitcher and gave up only three hits. We had some opportunities to score runs, but didn’t. It was tough.”

Willowbrook led the game 1-0 heading into the sixth innings. “We made an error, they had a couple of hits and the next thing you know it’s three runs,” said Wisner.

Wisner tipped his hat to Mintz for his efforts on the mound.

“Ryan pitched great,” the coach said.

Jeremy Conforti drove in Willowbrook’s only run of the contest.

“We didn’t put the ball in play enough to generate offense,” said Wisner.

“We had our chances with some walks and errors, but we couldn’t get the big hit.”

Wisner labeled the summer a success when looking at the big picture.

“In the summer you really try to build chemistry and see what you have for next year,” he said. “We had an outstanding year, but we lost a ton of guys. We’re trying to find out who fits where and find chemistry as a team.

We did that for the most part here in the summer. It was a good summer.”

Willowbrook again will be loaded on the mound with Mintz, Jack Nilles, Jack Hines and Vince Ruchala all returning with significant varsity pitching experience.

“Our pitching is going to be very good again. We have guys who are throwing well,” said Wisner. “We have to find out if some of these younger guys can step up and fill in some holes both pitching-wise and offensively.”

Wisner said seniors Dan Gusel and Mason Kamp, along with juniors Mintz, Nilles and Hines have been named team captains for the 2018 season. The coaching staff selected the captains.

“It’s a big responsibility,” said Wisner. “We put a lot on our captains’ shoulders. We want them to develop leadership skills. We give them a lot of responsibility with the things they have to do in our program. Being named a captain here is a big deal. The coaches vote on it and you have to earn it. It’s a nice honor. These guys have worked hard to get it.”

Wisner also saw positives from the likes of Conforti at third base and multi-sport athlete Scott Tumilty out in center field.

“Jeremy had a good summer for us,” said Wisner. “Scott is another guy who jumped out at us and locked down a position. He’s a good competitor.

We were looking for someone to replace Ben Espinoza in center and lead off and Scott will do that for us.”

Overall, Wisner likes how things are coming into place for the 2018 spring season.

“We feel pretty good about where we are headed,” he said.

Fenton boys basketball team completes busy summer Coach Taft likes progress program is making

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Fenton boys basketball team made the most of its allotted summer contact days.

The Bison hosted several events on Wednesday nights while also playing in shootouts at Montini, Ridgewood, Glenbard East and

Maine East.

“We played a lot of games,” said Fenton coach Chaz Taft. “We hosted our own stuff on Wednesday nights and overall played about 40 games.”

Taft liked the team’s work ethic throughout the summer. “I liked how we came in every day and we worked hard,” he said. “We would go two hours for team camp and then sometimes go and play three games at night. The guys did a really good job with that especially with having some younger guys with us.”

Taft said he saw progress on both

the offensive and defensive ends.

“It was kind of even,” he said. “We had some good stretches where we played teams tough. We got out there and blended in a mix of guys and tried to find out if different guys could play in different roles whether they were starting a game or coming off the bench. We put them in different roles and looked at different lineups. We found out what works.”

In his second year as Fenton’s coach, Taft is seeing the program take the steps forward he was hoping for.

“We are on our way,” he said.

“It’s something we are building every day. We’re building a culture every day and it’s something we have to make sure we are instilling. It’s always been at the forefront with us. It’s something we work on every day.”

Taft declared the summer as an overall success.

“We all came together as a team and a program,” he said. “We have a bunch of hard-working guys who are pulling for each other. In the summer to play that many games

you are going to have some ups and downs. Guys are doing different sports and coming over from football and baseball so we were working with a different mix of kids on different days. It was nice to see that everybody had a good summer.”

And now Taft turns his attention to the 2017-2018 season.

“I like the group we have. I like the younger guys and the returning guys,” he said. “We have a good mix of guys. I’m excited about this coming season. I wish it would start today. I’m looking forward to it.”

Elmhurst American Legion baseball team concludes season

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Elmhurst American Legion Post 187 baseball team saw its season come to an end at the recent 2nd Division tournament hosted by Barrington.

Post 187, which was the runner-up at the 11th District tournament and earned a spot in the Division tournament, opened play with an 11-1 loss to Barrington Post 158.

Elmhurst jumped out to a brief 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning only to have Barrington counter with two runs in the bottom of the first.

Barrington scored two more in the bottom of the third, four in the bottom of the fourth and then single runs in the fifth sixth and eighth innings to enact the 10-run rule.

Barrington had 13 hits in the contest. Elmhurst was limited to four hits.

Neither team made a fielding error.

Fenton’s Alejandro Orosco had a hit. York’s Nick Lee also had a hit and drove in Elmhurst’s only run. York’s Tamaine Durr also had a hit and Brendan Connell had a hit and scored Elmhurst’s only run.

Of Elmhurst’s four hits, three went for extra bases. Lee had a double, while Orosco and Durr each had a triple. Connell stole a base.

Elmhurst struck out 13 times against Barrington pitching.

In that Elmhurst first inning, Connell singled to right. After two outs and Connell still at first, Lee doubled to center, scoring Connell.

Orosco pitched the first 4 1/3 innings and struck out two. IC Catholic Prep product Austin Reed pitched the final three innings and recorded a strikeout.

Elmhurst then forfeited its consolation bracket game to Elgin Post 57 and was eliminated from the double-elimination tournament.

“We had two players with injuries and a few others were sick who played in the extreme heat in the game against Barrington and some others had prescheduled vacations,” noted Post 187 coach Mike Biondo.

Post 187, after a multi-year hiatus from American Legion baseball, finished the season with a 13-10 record.

“For the first year I was pleased with how our season went,” said Biondo. “We will have players coming back next year who understand the competitiveness of American Legion baseball and the high level of play that must be brought to their game every day.”

Post 187 held a team awards banquet Tuesday at the Elmhurst American Legion hall. There, five team awards were given out for MVP, pitcher of the year, offensive player of the year, defensive player of the year and a hustle award. The Independent will have those winners in next week’s edition.

Biondo noted the Elmhurst Legion baseball program will expand next year with the addition of a 17U junior Legion team in addition to the traditional 19U senior Legion squad.

Tryouts for the 17U junior Legion team will be held in late August, Biondo noted.

One way we can help each other get through these challenging times is to keep our dollars local.

Here are three good reasons.

Reason #1: Shopping locally saves you gas and wear and tear on your vehicle.

Reason #2: When you spend your money locally, you support the businesses whose property taxes pay for our municipal services.

Reason #3: Many of our youth programs are supported and sponsored by local businesses and if we don’t support them, they can’t support our kids.
