Bond set at $1 million for man accused in local armed robbery Detectives commended for bringing suspect to justice case,” Berlin said. “The allegations in this case, that Mr. Love stole money at gunpoint and kicked a man in the face who was just trying to make an honest living, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

“Unfortunately, this type of violence is exhibited by many criminals in today’s society,” Detective Sgt. William Lyons said. “The Villa Park police detectives worked continuously beginning from the initial

response to ensure the offenders are brought to justice. This is an outstanding example of a cooperative investigation by multiple agencies within Dupage County.”

Love’s next court appearance is

scheduled for Aug. 21 in front of Judge John Kinsella.

Members of the public are reminded that these complaints contain only charges and are not proof of the defendant’s guilt.

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Villa Park Acting Chief of Police Michael Lay announced last week that a Blue Island man had been arrested Cameron Love and charged with robbing a 7-11 convenience store in Villa Park at gunpoint, taking Illinois Lottery scratch-off tickets and approximately $200 cash.

Cameron Love, 19, of 12225 Vincennes Road, appeared on the afternoon of Friday, July 28 in Bond Court, where bond was set at $1 million with 10 percent to apply in accordance with a previously issued arrest warrant. Love has been charged with one count of Armed Robbery with a Firearm (Class X Felony) and one misdemeanor count of Battery.

It is alleged on July 20, at approximately 5:09 a.m., Love and an unnamed accomplice entered the 7-11 convenience store located on Villa Avenue. It is alleged that once inside the store, Love and his accomplice stole Illinois scratch-off lottery tickets and approximately $200 from the store. It is further alleged that before fleeing the store, Love ordered the store clerk to lay on the floor and that both Love and his accomplice kicked the store clerk in the face. An investigation into the matter led by the Villa Park Police Department led to Love. On July 24, a $1 million arrest warrant was issued for Love.

“I would like to thank the Villa Park Police Department for their fine work in identifying and apprehending Mr. Love as a suspect in this

This year, Cantigny Park’s annual tribute to France begins a day early, with a festive French-themed evening combining food, wine, live music and stargazing.

French Picnic Under the Stars, a first-time event, is set for Saturday, August 12, from 6 to 11 p.m. on the Cantigny Parade Field. The park’s 23-foot Eiffel Tower will be illuminated, adding a touch of Paris. Michel Domingue & Co. will entertain with Chicagostyle jazz and members of the Naperville Astronomical Association will assist guests in viewing stars and planets through telescopes.

If the sky is clear, it should be an ideal night to witness the Perseid Meteor Shower.

Inside the Visitors Center, guests can enjoy a presentation by NAA about the rare total solar eclipse coming up on August 21. Complete French-themed picnics for two, prepared by Cantigny, feature artisanal meats, cheeses and flatbreads, with wine pairings (optional) from Gérard Bertrand. Pricing and ordering information are online at Cantigny.org.

Heart scan surprise leads to life-saving surgery at Elmhurst Hospital

Says Dr. Brottman, “The ideal calcium score on these scans is 0 to 10. It should at least be less than 100. Rose’s score was 2,442 and Ron’s was somewhat lower, but still quite high at 1,910.”

Dr. Brottman prescribed stress tests for Rose and Ron, which they scheduled at Elmhurst Hospital. This test looks at blood flow in

various parts of the heart. The results surprised them both.

Says Rose, “I was totally shocked to learn that my stress test was okay and Ron’s wasn’t.”

“Ron’s test showed a part of his heart was not getting enough blood, likely from significant blockage due to plaque build-up, but a stress test doesn’t provide the details,” said Dr. Brottman. “He needed a coronary angiogram – a procedure that looks at blood flow through the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart. It revealed 100 percent blockage in one of his arteries, 75 percent in

another and a 55 percent blockage in his main “The Damatos’ situation shows that artery.” even if you’re asymptomatic, you should Ron had the angiogram on Dec. 8 and, take advantage of screenings and modern on Dec. 13, he had triple bypass surgery, technology to know your risks,” said Dr. performed by Michael DaValle, MD, a cardiac Brottman. “Many people assume they are fine surgeon with Elmhurst Hospital and Cardiac until they aren’t.

In January 2016, Rose Damato, 69, had surgery for an abdominal aneurysm, an enlargement in the main blood vessel carrying blood to the body. Without this surgery, she would have risked a rupture and lifethreatening blood loss.

Once this successful surgery was behind her, the Bloomingdale resident was ready to focus on reducing her heart disease risk with the help of Michael Brottman, MD, a cardiologist with Elmhurst Hospital and Advocate Medical Group.

“Rose has several risk factors that we knew about, including a high cholesterol level,” he said. “I suggested she also get a calcium scoring heart scan, a painless, 10-minute test. This would help assess the plaque in her coronary arteries – a key cardiac risk factor – and guide treatment.”

“After the aneurysm experience, I wasn’t going to play games with my health,” recalled Rose. “Especially since my family has a notoriously bad history of strokes and heart attacks. A heart attack took my father when he was just 55. If Dr. Brottman said it was a good idea to get a scan I was going to do it.”

At Rose’s suggestion, her then 69-year-old husband Ron decided to go for a scan around the same time.

On the national front Expense deductions a focus of federal tax reform debate ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK A battle over tax reform in Washington D.C. includes debate over how businesses deduct their expenses.

Currently, businesses deduct expenses by writing off the interest they pay on debt for a set period of time. It’s often criticized for its complexity and incentivizing debt because the exemption is based on the interest paid.

posals are said to include a change that would allow businesses to immediately expense the cost when they make a purchase with borrowed money.

Some groups, like small-government group Freedom Partners, wrote to U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam R-IL, saying the practice would be too costly and only help a specific group.

“Full expensing has very high costs in the first ten years – more than $2

trillion – and would benefit a very particular business operation, only new capital investments,” said Nathan Nascimento, vice president of policy for Freedom Partners.

Tax Foundation President Scott Hodge, however, thinks immediate expensing is one of the most efficient deductions there is.

find that expensing gives you the biggest bang for your buck in terms of promoting economic growth, job creation and higher wages,” Hodge said.

Both Freedom Partners and Hodge agree that the nation’s corporate tax rate needs to be lowered to make the country more competitive with other industrialized nations.

Roskam agrees too, saying the growth spurred by the deduction, as well as lowering the corporate tax rate, is sorely needed in places such as his home state.

“Lowering the rates as well as full expensing are not mutually exclusive,” he said. “They’re a really powerful combination. They drive growth and economic activity, something we need across the country and really need in Illinois.”

Roskam expects they’ll begin crafting tax reform bills this fall.

ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK Taiwanese tech company Foxxconn, known for producing displays for Apple devices, announced Wednesday that it would be entering into an agreement to invest $10 billion in a massive new facility in Southeast Wisconsin, creating an estimated 13,000 new jobs.

Illinois was one of the states reportedly considered but passed over.

“This is great news for Wisconsin and Illinois lawmakers should take notice,” said Laurel Patrick, spokeswoman for Governor Bruce Rauner.

“Illinois can’t continue on the path of ‘business as usual.’ It’s not working for our job creators, for our taxpayers or for our kids. We need to compete economically. We need fewer regulations, lower worker’s compensation costs and lower property taxes.”

Foxconn chairman Terry Gou spoke at the White House with President Donald Trump and others from Wisconsin. Republican Governor Scott Walker said the new jobs will not be low-paying work.

“These 13,000 jobs have an average annual salary of over $53,000 plus benefits,” Walker said at the White House event.

“This is a complete game-changer,” said U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Janesville). His district is the proposed landing site for the new facility.

“It means more jobs, more security, more prosperity for families.”

Illinois State Rep. Alan Skillicorn (R-Crystal Lake) blames the state’s business-hostile environment.

“It’s very expensive to do business in Illinois,” he said. “We have great talent here in Illinois but we can’t get jobs because of our policies.”

Wisconsin didn’t lure the company in on reputation alone. They’re giving Foxxconn $3 billion in incentives over the next 15 years. The company has also shown intention to expand in the past, only to pull back from the agreement.

Report of overturned canoe in Salt Creek prompts rescue efforts Owner of canoe found safe

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE INDEPENDENT

On Monday, July 24, at about 11 a.m., the Independent learned there was a large group of fire, police and other rescue vehicles gathered near the bridge over Salt Creek on St. Charles Road, just west of Route 83.

Fire trucks, police cars and water rescue units from the communities of not only Elmhurst and Villa Park, but also Addison, Lombard and other nearby towns required the closing of the eastbound lanes of St. Charles Road between Monterrey and Route 83.

While officials and workers were tight-lipped, the City of Elmhurst issued a release saying an overturned canoe had been found floating in the creek. One life cushion as recovered from the scene before rescue officials were heard to say divers would be coming in to check the waters to see if there were any victims.

A few hours later, the City issued another release saying the owner of the canoe had been found safe and that the search had been called off.

DEE LONGFELLOW PHOTO Addison Independent

The area around the bridge over Salt Creek on St. Charles just west of Route 83 was jammed with rescue vehicles from Elmhurst, Villa Park and other surrounding communities who came to assist with efforts after an overturned canoe was discovered in Salt Creek on the morning of Monday, July 24.

“

Thanks to the outstanding collaborative work of several law enforcement agencies, Ms. Odio was identified as a suspect and taken into custody later that same day.”

– Robert B. Berlin

that after a brief verbal altercation, Odio stabbed the woman several times with a sharp knife-like object and attempted to suffocate her with a plastic bag.

The woman was able to free herself from the alleged attack and retreated to an upstairs room. It is alleged that Odio then started a fire on the first floor of the townhouse before fleeing in a vehicle that was parked in the driveway that did not belong to her. The woman and another occupant of the townhome were forced to jump from the second floor of the townhouse to escape the fire. An investigation led to Odio who was taken into custody that afternoon without incident.

“Thanks to the outstanding collaborative work of several law enforcement agencies, Ms. Odio was identified as a suspect and taken

into custody later that same day.”

Berlin said. “Thankfully the injuries sustained by both victims are not life-threatening. I would like to thank Commander Bill Lyons of the DuPage County Fire Investigation Task Force, Detective Dan Torza of the Elmhurst Police Department and detectives with the Roselle Police

Department for their outstanding work on the this case.”

Odio’s next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 21, in front of Judge George Bakalis.

Members of the public are reminded that this complaint contains only charges and is not proof of the defendant’s guilt.

DuPage County addresses mental illness in community, jail

The DuPage County Health Department and DuPage Health Coalition recently hosted a workshop to develop integrated strategies to effectively identify and respond to the needs of justice-involved adults with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders. Key administrators, staff, and advocates from mental health, substance abuse, and criminal justice agencies participated in Sequential Intercept Mapping on July 25 and 26, to reduce system and service barriers for individuals with mental illness with an integrated, local action plan.

“Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders are an increasing presence within the criminal justice system in DuPage County and the United States,” said Health Department Executive Director Karen Ayala. “This workshop was designed to bring

changes in the system by providing the tools necessary to enhance services for adults with mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders in contact with the justice system.”

Studies have shown that 6.4 percent of men and 12.2 percent of women entering U.S. jails have a severe and persistent mental illness, compared to less than 2 percent of the general population. More than 70 percent of these individuals have a co-occurring substance use disorder.

Workshop participants worked on a plan that details the flow of criminal justice contact from arrest to incarceration, referral and access to services, and points for diversion from the justice system across DuPage County.

The purpose of the meeting is to introduce the project to the public, present the project schedule, existing conditions, and the proposed improvement, and to seek public input and comments regarding the project. The hearing details are below: Date: August 8, 2017 Time: 5:00 P.M. – 7:00 P.M. Location: Bensenville Village Hall 12 S.

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Fenton wrestler Dylan Butts was part of the Team Illinois contingent that competed at the recent prestigious Greco-Roman junior nationals tournament in Fargo, N.D. Butts, wrestling at 182 pounds, lost his first match to a wrestler from Minnesota by an 8-6 score. He then won his first consolation round match by a 12-8 score over a wrestler from Oregon. Butts lost 4-2 to an Alabama wrestler in his second consolation round match.

Team Illinois won the national title in Greco-Roman.

Addison Trail’s Juarez earns Greco-Roman wrestling All-American status Sophomore-to-be places seventh at nationals after tough exit from freestyle tournament

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Addison Trail sophomore-to-be Guillermo Juarez earned himself a large measure of personal redemption recently.

After being disqualified for failing to make weight during the freestyle nationals tournament in Fargo, N.D., Juarez didn’t close up shop.

He went on to earn All-American honors during the Greco-Roman portion of nationals by finishing seventh in the 94-pound division.

“It feels very good to bring that

back to my hometown,” he said.

“All the work and all the days of sweating and killing my body is all worth it.”

But it was far from smooth sailing in Fargo in the beginning.

“I didn’t make weight,” Juarez said. “I felt real bad knowing that I let down all the people back home and all my coaches who have been there for me. Having to let people know I didn’t make weight the second day of freestyle was a bummer.”

Juarez said he ended up being 0.6 pounds over the limit during that second weight in.

“I had qualified for nationals a couple months ago and I weighed 96 pounds,” he said. “This summer I’ve been lifting weights and I got bigger.

I didn’t realize I had gotten this big.

Once I weighed myself I was at 104 pounds. I realized I had to get down to 94 for nationals. I was able to get

back down to weight for freestyle.

There are two weigh-ins. It was pretty hard.”

Juarez said he has received a mountain of support from Addison-based Headlock Wrestling head coach Sam Geraci, Addison Trail head coach Rob Serio, as well as former Addison Trail female wrestler Veronica Carlson, who was coaching in the girls’ division at nationals but lent a key hand in Juarez’s road to All-American status.

“All my coaches have helped me out. I have to give all of them credit,” said Juarez. “Sam is always there giving me ideas about moves.

Coach Serio at Addison Trail always has a plan. He helps me out with everything in my matches and outside wrestling as well. Veronica was there and helped me out. She helped me cut weight. I had three hours to cut two pounds and she helped me

with that with exercising. When you have coaches you can trust it makes you walk onto the mat and feel better about everything and feel confident about winning matches.”

Geraci added: “He came all the way back and got seventh place and earned All-American honors. That’s pretty good.”

Juarez said getting to weight in the Greco-Roman division was tougher.

“I’m not going to lie it was harder,” he said. “It’s not hard to do it, but it’s tougher when your body is tired. I kept on exercising but I kept thinking to myself I want to go to bed. But that freestyle weigh-in put me in the mindset that I don’t want to disappoint anybody anymore.

I believed it and I made it through the first weigh-in for Greco and the second day I made it as well. I had the right mindset. I wanted to take something home. I didn’t want to

come back home with nothing.”

Juarez said his gut-wrench move, in particular, helped him out in Fargo. “My guts were feeling good so I kept working on them,” he said.

“That’s where you already have somebody on the mat and you try and turn them to get more points.

That move helped get me multiple points.”

Juarez is filled with anticipation for the upcoming Addison Trail wrestling season.

“This gives me a lot of confidence,” he said. “I’m hoping my teammates will have a lot of confidence as well. You have to think about your teammates as well. I came into this as a nobody and came out with some pretty good results. I have a lot of confidence going into this season. I’m going to try my hardest to go downstate this year and see what I can do down there.”

Willowbrook’s Jessen wins Greco-Roman national wrestling title

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Willowbrook senior-to-be Jack Jessen was on a mission recently.

Jessen, a standout three-time state qualifying wrestler for the Warriors, had just placed second at the freestyle nationals held in Fargo, N.D. He still had the Greco-Roman nationals to go in Fargo. “Oh yeah, the second-place really fueled me,” Jessen said. “It motivated me to leave it all out there in Greco.”

And leave it all out there he did.

Jessen, after taking fourth in both disciplines last summer in Fargo, won the Greco-Roman national title with a perfect 4-0 mark.

“I was focused on going out there

and putting on a show,” he said. “I had been training so hard for that tournament. I trusted all my training and let it go on the mat.”

In the Greco-Roman finale, Jessen, out of the Izzy Style Wrestling Club, defeated fellow Illinois wrestler Cameron Caffey (Carbondale Wrestling Club) via pinfall in only 32 seconds to secure the national title.

“I had wrestled him earlier at Greco state and lost in a close match,” said Jessen, who has verbally committed to continue his wrestling career at Northwestern University in Evanston. “It meant everything to beat him at nationals in that tournament and on that stage. It was amazing. I had trained with him a little

with Team Illinois. Beating an Illinois kid in the finals always is good.”

Jessen said he didn’t mess around in the final. “I went out there with the mindset that I was going to dictate and not let him dictate moves or position,” he said. “I made my mind up I was going to be in position and be in total control of the match the whole time.”

Jessen, a Class 3A state runner-up last season for Willowbrook, lost to Iowa wrestler and Purdue recruit Max Lyon in the freestyle 182 final.

“He beat me by seven points,” Jessen noted. “I was up 3-0 at the beginning of the match and he got a good shot off and got four points off it and kept the lead the rest of the match.”

Overall, Jessen was pleased with how things unfolded in Fargo.

“I love that tournament,” he said.

“It’s my favorite tournament of the whole season. Every match there you could win or lose because every kid is so good. Winning that tournament is a big accomplishment and that’s why it is so special for me.”

Before he gets to his senior season at Willowbrook, Jessen has business to tend to on the football field. Jessen was a huge contributor as a junior running back last year to a Willowbrook team that made a deep run in the state playoffs.

The Warriors reached the Class 7A quarterfinals.

“We just got back from team camp

at Lake Forest College,” said Jessen late last week. “I’m really looking forward to the football season. Last year definitely puts a lot of motivation on the team, the players coming back, the young players and the school. The energy around school is very good and all the players are pushing themselves in the weight room and on the field.”

Jessen admits he also can’t wait for the high-school wrestling season to get started. And he has one major individual goal in particular on his mind.

“The state championship,” he said.

Jessen is 153-8 in his career at Willowbrook and has three top-3 state medals to his credit.

Freebie Ad

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.
