Montini Catholic welcomes the Class of 2021 at Quest orientation event tomed to the school before their first day of classes on August 16. Montini’s student ambassadors, along with Campus Minister Mike Blanchette, and Activities Director Jill Smith, were on hand to guide the new students through their exciting day. The student volunteers also helped out by sharing their own experiences as freshmen and providing advice and encouragement.

The program concluded with a prayer session with each attendee re-

ceiving a special cross to remember his/her day. Before leaving, students lined up to sign a list of goals they planned to accomplish during their four years as Montini Broncos. The

list and signatures will be framed and displayed at the school. “For many freshmen entering into their first year of high school, the experience can be very stressful and overwhelming,”

said Montini’s Admissions Director, Kim Richmond. “Montini’s Quest event is designed to make this experience as fun and memorable as it can be.”

OBT Fire District, police department earns ‘Run of the Month’ by EMS Paramedics, police officers help woman who choked on food

Elmhurst Hospital’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) has awarded its “Run of the Month” for March 2017 to the Oakbrook Terrace Fire Protection District and Oakbrook Terrace Police Department.

Paramedics George Arvai, Robert Boncela, Eric Focht and Gregory Sebesta, and Police Officers Clayton Plumtree, Jason Sluzewicz and Tom Tomopoulos were recognized for their care of a 61-year-old woman who

Dee Longfellow News Coordinator Debra Hamilton Advertising Director Daisy Garcia Special Sections Coordinator Pete Cruger Publisher

choked on a piece of food at a local restaurant on March 31.

One of the police officers used the Heimlich maneuver, which dislodged a small piece of the obstruction in the airway. The patient had a faint pulse, but was unresponsive. Upon their arrival, paramedics assessed the patient and found her to have no pulse. They began CPR and were able to remove the piece of food. They inserted a tube to help the patient breathe and provid-

ed additional treatment. The patient regained a pulse and was transported to the Elmhurst Hospital Emergency Department. She was admitted to Elmhurst Hospital and discharged about a week later.

In the “Run of the Month” program, Elmhurst Hospital’s EMS Team reviews ambulance runs by pre-hospital providers and selects one to be recognized based on the following criteria: • Excellent communication from the

field that resulted in the timely delivery of pertinent clinical information to the Elmhurst Hospital Emergency Department staff • Clear and thorough documentation • Superior clinical assessment skills that resulted in accurate recognition of a clinical situation • Behavior exceeding the call of duty in the field • Superior partnership and teamwork with Elmhurst Hospital

The 4th Annual EISUS Fun Fest will be held on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 24 from 1-4 p.m. at Cortesi Veteran’s Park. This newest venture of the Susan Jurkonis Memorial Scholarship Foundation is devoted Susan Jurkonis to families as it raises funds for the American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA).

The goal of being “Committed to the Cure” for brain tumors began when daughter, sister, and friend Susan Jurkonis was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma Multiforme brain tumor. Susan was a Purdue Volleyball scholarship player from Willowbrook High School, whose hard work and determination to reach her goals made her a strong player and formidable competitor.

When her diagnosis was made, she began using those same skills to compete with the disease. It won.

In her memory, the Foundation was created to provide scholarships for outstanding young men and women at Willowbrook, to provide support for brain tumor research, and to memorialize Sue. The EISUS and Susie’s Smash, a badmin-

ton tournament held in May, provide funds for these donations.

Raffle tickets, music, pizza, beverages, and games will fill the afternoon.

Adults will use their tickets to participate in games similar to the Minute to Win It format and children will use theirs to play other games or to have their faces painted.

Entry is free and the price of tickets is minimal to encourage participation and family time. 100% of the money raised is given to the ABTA. The Foundation hopes to have participants actively involved in the games and making donations to raise funds for research needed to find a cure for brain tumors. As of October, 2016, approximately $14,000 had been donated to the American Brain Tumor Association from funds raised at the Fun Fest. Many, many volunteers are needed to help this event be a success and the Foundation appreciates them.

The Foundation gratefully acknowledges the support and assistance of the Villa Park Parks and Recreation Department, the Villa Park Kiwanis, and the Villa Park VFW. For more details or to volunteer, contact the Foundation at eisus15@gmail.com., on Facebook at Susan Jurkonis Memorial Foundation, and at susanjurkonisfoundation.org.

Conroy appointed to Advisory Council on mental health State Rep. Deb Conroy, D-Villa Park, has been appointed to serve on the newly formed Advisory Council on Early Identification and Treatment of Mental Health Conditions.

This committee was created through legislation passed by Conroy in August.

“I am honored to have been appointed to serve on the new Advisory Council on Early Identification and Treatment of Mental Health Conditions,” said Conroy, who chairs the House Mental Health Committee.

“Identifying and starting treatment as soon as possible is the key to leading a full life for all people struggling with mental health issues. The creation of this council is one step of many Illinois must take in order to ensure that our children and young

adults with mental illnesses have access to the best care so that they can lead happy and productive lives.”

This advisory council is responsible for reviewing evidence based practices and initiatives on regular screenings and identification of mental health conditions in young people. Members of the committee, who will serve without compensation or reimbursement, will also be responsible for identifying barriers to access of services such as insurance coverage issues and lack of adequate resources. The General Assembly voted unanimously to create this committee.

“The creation of this committee signifies how seriously we are going to address mental health issues here in Illinois,” said Conroy. “Mental

health issues cross party lines and face every community regardless of geography or economic standing.

Now more than ever, we need to get

rid of the antiquated idea that we can’t talk about it. Mental health is about our brains and brain health. If a child was diabetic, we would make

sure that child received the insulin they needed. This council will bring us closer to real solutions to mental health issues.”

Forest Preserve District seeks public feedback Plans community meetings to get input on five-year master plan

Hospital holds active threat educational exercise Prepares for emergency in case of a shooter or other offender

Elmhurst Hospital, in partnership with the Elmhurst Police and Fire Departments, held an Active Threat Education/Functional Exercise on the morning of Wednesday, Aug. 30.

The drill was a precursor to a FullScale Active Threat Drill that will take place in the fall, which will also involve the Elmhurst Police and Fire Departments.

Staff were asked to participate in the exercise to give each employee the opportunity to learn how to use “RUN, HIDE, FIGHT” in their own area to be better prepared and to keep themselves and their patients safe.

An “active threat” refers to a person or persons coming into the hospital unauthorized with the intent of harming people, such as an armed shooter. In this particular case, the “drill” was a disgruntled employee attempting to cause harm in the Human Resources department.

Once the drill was announced, all the employees gathered in “huddles,” that is, met together at the supervisor’s workstation to determine the next course of action.

Elmhurst Police Sgt. Matt Himpelmann was on hand to explain the procedure in assisting during an active threat, pointing out the one of the biggest challenges is actually

getting the police to the hospital.

“We’re in the center of town and you’re in the south part of the City, so right off the bat, we’re behind,” he said. “Sometimes the event is over before we arrive.

“Otherwise, we will have officers pour in from every possible entrance as fast as possible. At that point, the entire hospital is considered a crime scene. Our plan is to give you another patient [meaning the criminal].”

He pointed out there were 32 doorways to the hospital, half of which are accessible to the public.

What staff are trained to do Employees were advised to plan ahead and find a safe place in advance of any threat where they can be barricaded in, if necessary. Anyone who can should bring along a cell phone to maintain communication.

The rule to follow is: RUN, HIDE, FIGHT. If confronted by an offender, Himpelmann advised that the worker should do anything possible to knock the offender to the ground. Workers should also consider in advance what they could grab to break glass to potentially use to fend off a suspect. A heavy object could also be used to strike the person.

“If the suspect has a gun and you are able to strike that person to the ground, don’t pick up the gun, leave it there,” Himpelmann said. “Otherwise, when police arrive, they could mistake you for the shooter.”

He shared statistics that, in this

What about the patients?

Then came the inevitable question… what about the patients?

It was explained that the patients were more or less on their own, but that staff needed to keep themselves safe in order to continue to serve the

patients.

“If something happens to one of us, then who will help the patients?”

Lumpkin said. “We’ve been taught to take care of ourselves first, then tend to the patients when we can. But that can be the hardest part because we are so used to NOT leaving the patients. In this case, we have to.”

Police said most of the time, active shooters coming into a hospital are not looking to harm the patients, they’re usually wanting something from the staff or the hospital itself.

Dr. Michelle Meziere, an ER physician and associate medical director of emergency medicine for Elmhurst Hospital, spoke with the Independent following the drill.

“People learn by doing,” Meziere said. “The best education is handson, that’s why these drills are so important to teach how to do a safety lock-down.”

comfortably hold all of the ER staff, where they could barricade themselves in.

Lumpkin spoke to the Independent about her own experience while working at another hospital.

“The worst thing I ever saw was after a big shoot-out between two rival gangs,” she said. “We had the leaders of both gangs at the hospital receiving treatment for their wounds — we were careful to keep them at opposite ends of the facility.”

She added that many times if there was an incident at a hospital, it was someone looking for drugs.

FINALLY a way to fix the PAIN of a Are you suffering from back pain, arm or leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in your arms or legs? Then it’s likely you’re suffering from a Bulging DISC. That’s when one of your spinal discs is bulging and causing these, sometimes severe, symptoms because of the effect it’s having on your nerve system.

You may have already had this diagnosed on an MRI and thought that there is little that can be done about it and that’s a major problem: bad information, because in the right hands a lot can be done for you.

To end the misery caused by Bulging DISCS you must have the right information. Pay close attention because I’m going to destroy some important myths and give you the facts.

MYTH: Bulging DISC problems will just “go away” with some rest.

FACT: If you are dealing with back pain, buttock pain or leg pain, then you must seek help from a Bulging DISC specialist immediately. Left untreated, the problem can lead to permanent nerve damage - and lifelong pain.

MYTH: Pain is the only problem associated with Bulging DISC problems.

FACT: In severe cases, this problem can lead to the inability to control your bowels, bladder and sexual potency - leading to embarrassing situations.

MYTH: You must take pain medications to deal with Bulging DISCs. FACT: Drugs like muscle relaxants, pain killers, narcotics, antidepressants, and antiseizure medications have serious potential sideeffects and do not cure Bulging DISCs. MYTH: “I must have done something wrong to damage my DISC.” FACT: Physical work or simply sitting at a desk for long periods can lead to Bulging DISCs. Accidents and trauma can also be the culprits. Pregnancy can cause damage. DISC Bulges can happen to anyone - including superfit celebrities like Tiger Woods, Sylvester Stallone, and British Olympic medallist Ian Wynne.

MYTH: Stop exercising and get several weeks of bed rest to let the Bulging DISC recover...

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

MYTH: DISC Bulges or herniations require surgery.

FACT: NO! There’s been a huge

breakthrough in the treatment of Bulging DISCs. It’s a new procedure called NonSurgical Re-Constructive Spinal Care. The excellent results from this treatment have been published in major medical journals.

Success rates are up to 88%.

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

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

MYTH: Getting a Bulging DISC properly diagnosed is expensive.

FACT: Not true. Tree of Life Chiropractic Center is currently offering an initial consultation for Just $43.

Tree of Life Chiropractic Center is one of the nations leading Bulging DISC centers.

The team of fully-trained friendly staff have helped over 1,483 patients find relief from agonising Bulging DISCs. It’s one of the first places in the USA to use Non-Surgical ReConstructive Spinal Care.

This procedure does not require a hospital stay and in most cases you’ll be able to continue with your normal daily activities with little interruption. The focus is on finding - and correcting - the original cause of the Bulged DISC. According to Tree of Life, “We use a combination of ultra-advanced technology, not found elsewhere in the region, for precisely diagnosing the cause of your Bulging DISC. This means superior long-term results for most people.”

88% of People Find Relief from the Pain and Associated Symptoms...

Because the treatment is non-surgical, safe, and easy, most patients report relief from their pain and associated symptoms early in the process.

Patient Jeff P. from Elmhurst wrote, “My back pain was unbearable but the worst thing was the searing burning pain I felt in my buttock and leg... my wife insisted I go to Tree of Life. I’m 95% better in just a couple of weeks.”

Take the Next Step - END the Suffering...

She has a very bright future in our program.”

Barriga, a senior, was leading the team in scoring with 12 goals and four assists. Jaramillo, a freshman, had seven goals and two assists, while junior Abraham Sanchez had two goals and one assist.

“We are getting better at strengthening our back line, defending as a group and clicking on the offensive side of the ball,” said Fenton coach Victor Ruiz, who noted the team’s

current strengths are its midfield play and finishing opportunities.

Ruiz said the team has been bolstered by the scoring punch of Barriga and Jaramillo. “Angel and Ivan are linking up top and scoring goals,” he said. “This 1-2 punch is hard to stop once they get going.”

Ruiz also has been impressed with the play of midfielder Johnathan Chavez, sophomore defender Sebastian Palacios, junior goalie Carlos Popoca and midfielder Abraham Sanchez.

“Johnathan helps the team with his fierce defensive work, breaking

up plays and distributing balls to our forwards,” explained Ruiz. “Sebastian’s leadership and command of the back has made our defenders better in getting in rhythm. Carlos has gotten more confident in the net and Abraham is doing well with his ball distribution out of the midfield.”

State Rep. Deb Conroy (D-Villa Park) supported bipartisan legislation that increases the number of hours an elected official must work to become eligible for a pension through the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF).

“

Residents should not be on the hook for a part time elected official’s pension.”

– State Rep. Deb Conroy (D-Villa Park)

“This bill is one step of many that our state needs to take in order ensure that our local governments are doing their part to ease the burden of rising property taxes,” Conroy said.

“Residents should not be on the hook for a part time elected official’s pension.”

Conroy supported House Bill 3122 which will increase the required amount of hours for local elected officials to become pension-eligible from 600 hours of work per year to 1000 hours. This bill was created in an effort to ease the rising costs of the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF), which is paid for by both state and local property taxes.

This bill passed the general assembly unanimously.

DIY, laughter and olive oil

Do-it-youselfers will attest to two universal truths: projects beget projects and the outcomes are often funny if you are willing to laugh at yourself or others. Both phenomena happen to me all the time. This week at our house it involved stickers.

My husband and I recently updated our bathroom by framing the mirror. With the mirror framed and looking lovely, it became apparent (to me) that our soap dispenser was lacking. Or better put, we were lacking a soap dispenser. We were simply using the bottle the soap came in when purchased from the store. Next to the newly framed mirror it looked practically plastic (because it was). We were in need of an upgrade.

I found a suitable plain white ceramic dispenser and put it in the bathroom next to the sink. It was an improvement, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing. And then it hit me: what we needed was a label.

I didn’t trust my artistic prowess enough to paint a label on the ceramic. Instead I opted for stickers.

I got some nice black letters and placed four of them on the dispenser to spell SOAP. It was perfect. So perfect that I got two more dispensers – one for the other bathroom and one for the kitchen – and labeled them with SOAP stickers as well.

I was satisfied with my mini-proj-

ects and for most DIYers the story would end here. But I am not only a DIYer; I am a penny-pincher. And in this case, I had extra, unused stickers. I looked around the kitchen for something else to label.

Next to the sink, I have a spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol to clean the stainless steel and other surfaces needing disinfecting.

There wasn’t enough space to spell out rubbing or alcohol so I took three letters – A, L and C – and placed them on the bottle. I wasn’t done yet.

There was a similar spray bottle on the stovetop that held olive oil – of the extra virgin variety. Again, space was an issue, so I went with the well-known (or so I thought) abbreviation: EVOO. (Extra virgin olive oil, for those who have never heard of Rachel Ray.) I still had some stickers left, but it was time to make supper so I put my projects on hold. And here’s where the funny part comes in.

As we were prepping for our meal, my husband (who is a Rachel

Ray fan) reached for the olive oil and reacted with a start.

“What the heck is ee-vu?” he asked (He pronounced EVOO as though it rhymed with emu.) Then he repeated his question, sort of.

“Ee-vu? That’s not even a word.

I’ve never heard of ee-vu. Is this some sort of joke?”

By this time, I couldn’t answer him because I was laughing my eevu off.

Sensing an opportunity to laugh at a parent, the kids gathered nearby. None of them let my husband in on the joke. God bless the children.

My husband remained incredulous. “Ee-vu? Are you messing with me? Ee-vu, really?”

Each time he said the “word” we all burst out in laughter. The kitchen was a very happy place, unless you were my husband.

Finally one of the kids took pity and let him in on the secret. We all got a good laugh out of that one and my husband learned a new vocabulary word.

All in all it was a good day. Especially for a DIYer. And I’m not done yet. I still have a few stickers left.

I just have to figure out what I can spell and where I can put them.
