In 2014, Leo Reedy turned the leadership of the family company over to his son, Larry. Larry added his knowledge of technology and modern marketing practices to the foundation of a well-run and well-respected business to create the present, powerful business L.W. Reedy Real Estate is today.

As always, L.W. Reedy’s strength is their agents. At 90+ agents, the firm has developed a strong team of experienced Realtors who carry on the hallmarks of the company year after year.

Retirement ceremony

Villa Park Fire Chief Ron Rakosnik retired last week. Rakosnik, who spent the last 10 years as the village’s fire chief, began his professional firefighting career 40 years ago. He joined the Wilmette Fire Department in 1982. In 1985, Rakosnik joined the Lombard Fire Department. He spent more than 27 years in Lombard before becoming Villa Park’s fire chief in 2012. Rakosnik’s family, friends and several of his former colleagues gathered at Fire Station 81 for his retirement ceremony on Oct. 27. The speak ers during the ceremony included Villa Park Village President Nick Cuzzone, Willowbrook High School Principal Dan Krause and Villa Park Village Manager Matthew Harline. Rakosnik also spoke during the service, which featured his final dispatch call from DU-COMM (DuPage Public Safety Communications). Following the dispatch call, Rakosnik walked between two lines formed by his Villa Park colleagues. Chris Coomes, who worked with Rakosnik at the Lombard Fire Department, played the bagpipes during the walk-through. Moments later, members of the Villa Park Fire Department lowered and folded the American flag from the station’s flagpole. Lt. Brandon Mitsuka then presented the flag, which had been signed by each member of the department, to the retiring chief. Rakosnik, who grew up in the Congress Knolls subdivision in unincorporated Lombard, graduated from Willowbrook High School in 1975.

Bond set for 2 Wisconsin women charged with burglary/retail theft from Oak Brook Nordstrom Rack

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Oak Brook Chief of Police Brian Strockis have an nounced that bond has been set for two Wisconsin women accused of stealing more than $1,200 worth of merchandise from the Nordstrom Rack store in Oak Brook.

aggravated fleeing and eluding (Class 4 felony).

Rock Valley Publishing,

240 N. West Avenue, Elmhurst, IL.

Kaphree Jordan, 25, and Aaliyah Guy, 24, both of Milwaukee, each ap peared at a bond hearing where Judge John Kinsella set bond at $50,000 with 10 percent to apply for Jordan and at $40,000 with 10 percent to ap ply for Guy.

Jordan and Guy have each been charged with one count of burglary (Class 2 felony) and one count of re tail theft (Class 3 felony). Jordan has also been charged with one count of

On Oct. 18 at approximately 4 p.m., officers with the Oak Brook Police Department were on patrol at the Shops of Oak Brook when they allegedly observed a woman, later identified as Guy, run out of Nord strom Rack with a backpack and enter the passenger side of a Kia automo bile. Moments later, officers alleged ly observed a second individual, later identified as Jordan, exit the store and enter the driver’s side of the Kia.

Officers followed the vehicle and activated their emergency lights and sirens at which time the Kia alleged attempted to flee on southbound Route 83.

It is alleged that the Kia led offi

cers on a high-speed pursuit on Route 83 to eastbound I-88, to eastbound I-290, to northbound I-294.

The Kia ultimately was stopped on I-294 when officers deployed spike strips. It is alleged that the Kia was traveling at speeds in excess of 100 mph during the pursuit. Both defen dants were taken into custody at this time.

It is alleged that a duffel bag con taining 21 bottles of cologne and per fume valued at $1,273 was found in the Kia.

“Public safety is our top priority in DuPage County,” Berlin said. “The allegations that after committing a burglary at the Nordstrom Rack, the defendants led authorities on a highspeed chase in excess of 100 mph,

demonstrates their complete disre gard for the rule of law. This will not be tolerated in DuPage County and will be aggressively prosecuted. I commend the Oak Brook Police De partment for keeping a watchful eye out for the type of criminal behavior alleged against the defendants in this case and for their continued efforts in keeping our retail establishments safe.”

“The arrest was another outstand ing example of pro-active policing,” Strockis said. “The Oak Brook Police Department will continue to aggres sively address crimes in our jurisdic tion and throughout DuPage County.”

The next court appearance for both women is scheduled for Nov. 9 for ar raignment in front of Judge Kinsella.

Warriors begin post-season surge by winning a regional title

Willowbrook advances to this week’s Proviso West Sectional

STAFF REPORT

The Willowbrook girls volleyball team captured a regional champion ship last week. The Warriors won the IHSA Class 4A Downers Grove North Regional title on Oct. 27. Wil lowbrook beat Downers Grove North 25-20, 25-16 in the regional final.

The Warriors, who improved their overall season record to 35-2 with their win over the Trojans, advanced to this week’s Proviso West Section al. If the Warriors win two matches at Proviso West to claim the sectional ti tle, they will advance to this Friday’s super-sectional at Hinsdale Central. The winner of that super-sectional will earn a berth in the IHSA Class 4A state semifinals in Normal.

Willowbrook is the No. 1 seed in the Proviso West Sectional. The War riors met York (the sectional’s No. 4) seed in one of this week’s sectional semifinals. The winner of that match faced Glenbard West (the No. 3 seed) or St. Charles East (the No. 2 seed) in the sectional final.

The Warriors won regional and sectional titles last season before losing to Mother McAuley in a su per-sectional.

Junior Calli Kenny delivered sev en kills, seven assists and seven digs for the Warriors in their win over Downers Grove North in last week’s regional final. Sophomore Hannah Kenny provided six kills, six assists, five digs and three aces. Senior Na talie Cipriano contributed six kills and four digs. Senior Grace Conley piled up 12 digs and handed out four assists.

Exploring love

“We’ve been infected with this idea that love is an emotion only felt between two people. But love is a universal energy.” – A.R. Lucas

Today, let’s explore the topic of love.

I think when we look back at life—at the end of it all— what we’ll remember most is love. And, as was referenced above, not just the romantic love we’ve experienced, but ALL of it, every bit of it. Love is all around us, every second of every day, if we are open and aware. Receiving as well as giving. I know that may sound corny, but it’s truth (with a capital T).

Love fuels the soul. It makes the heart beat a little faster. It makes us catch our breath and causes our lips to curl upward. It improves our mood and makes life worth living. Love comes in many forms. It can be spectacular and it can be everyday – and everything inbetween.

Noticing the beauty of dewy water droplets on blades of grass in the morning is love.

A mama duck leading a trail of her ducklings across the path is love.

Feeling the positive energy in a smile from a stranger is love.

A sunrise. A sunset. A full moon. A starry night. All love when seen and felt from the heart.

The same can be said for helping a turtle cross the road. Feeding birds in the winter. Rescuing a spider from your kitchen and bringing it outside.

Love isn’t complicated. It’s superbly simple when pure and done right. When done from within - from the heart.

Many of us live under the misconception that love comes from without—from other people, from the world at large. I don’t believe this to be true. Real love comes from within. It starts there, grows there and blooms there.

Once you embrace the love from within - truly embrace and accept it. Once you open yourself fully to it and understand its importance to your well-being and joy, then you can appreciate and enjoy the love all around you. You will be more open to accepting love because you are fully encompassed on spreading your own.

As you sow your seeds and spread and grow this love outward, it returns to you exponentially, because you can’t give love without receiving it in return. That’s just

how the universe operates. You benefit just as much from the love you give as from the love you receive—maybe even more so.

That’s the magic in it.

I think of the concept of love like an ice cream sundae. It starts with a scoop of ice cream at its core. It wouldn’t be a sundae without the ice cream. This is the love that comes from within.

Love from the world at large— people, animals, hobbies, passions, nature –is the whipped cream, hot fudge, sprinkles and other toppings. They enhance the sundae but without the ice cream, you are left with a bowl of condiments. They can’t stand alone. Without the base of ice cream, they fall flat.

The same goes for your ability to love others if you don’t first love yourself.

We talk of unconditional love. When my husband first left this earth, I reflected on our great love story and made it my goal to love even better and more fully in the future. I wanted to love other people unconditionally.

But I’ve changed my mind—or at least my choice of words. I’ve come to the conclusion that the term unconditional love is sort of an unnecessary phrase and perhaps even repetitive.

All love should be unconditional. Putting conditions on love negates it. It makes it less than love. Love, felt truly, madly, deeply from the heart is infinite and without conditions. It is love—plain and simple. Miraculous. Wonder-filled and wonderful. Infinite, expanding, without beginning or end. Love traverses time and thought. It is bigger than any of us as individuals, yet it lives individually within each of us. It encompasses us all. It is both within and without. It just is. Now and forever Beyond the end of “time” as we perceive it.

And that thought, I think, is unconditionally beautiful and even (if you’ll forgive me) lovely.

Choosing a Medicare plan: Three key benefits to consider

The Medicare Annual Election Period is officially under way, and more than 155,000 individuals in DuPage County are ages 65 or older and may be eligible to select a healthcare plan for 2023.

Now to Dec. 7, people eligible for Medicare can review plans to find the best one for their health needs, as well as their wallets.

Although it may seem intimidating, it is important that eligible individuals start by identifying their top priorities— like convenience or quality of care—and then finding an accommodating plan.

While some people will opt for traditional Medicare, an alternative is Medicare Advantage, which typically offers additional benefits, such as prescription coverage, fitness plans and routine checkups or cleanings.

Additionally, home-based healthcare continues to be a service offered by many plans, which is something to consider as you choose your plan for 2023.

Specifically, I encourage you to consider the following benefits when reviewing your options:

• In-home primary care. Did you know that you may be able to see your primary care provider in your home? House calls are back in popularity and companies, will send a provider and care team to your home—and offer telemedicine services—for both routine and sick visits. The best part is that in-home visits typically last around 45 minutes, compared to a 15-minute office visit, allowing more time to review concerns with your doctor and allow them to treat all your health needs.

• Telemedicine services. A recent survey by AARP indicates that nearly one-out-of-three adults 50 and over are highly interested in using telemedicine for themselves or a loved one.

Telemedicine not only offers the convenience of visiting with a healthcare provider from the comfort of your home but also provides safety from picking up

germs and contamination from inoffice appointments. Check to see if your Medicare Advantage plan covers telemedicine, including online counseling, prescription management and urgent care issues.

• Pharmacy mail order. For convenience, consider a plan that offers home delivery for your prescriptions. Often, mail-order programs allow beneficiaries to set up automatic refills for prescriptions to be delivered to their doorstep, ensuring you never run out of your medications. Many mail-order pharmacies offer 24/7 service which is helpful if you have questions about your medication outside of business hours.

For additional information on choosing the right Medicare plan for you or a loved one, visit the Medicare Plan Finder on Medicare.gov.

Bond denied for two men charged in Wheaton T-Mobile store armed robbery

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Wheaton Chief of Police William Murphy have an nounced that bond has been denied for the second of two men accused of robbing at gunpoint a Wheaton T-Mo bile store.

Imari Paxton, 24, of Chicago, ap peared at a bond hearing this morn ing where Judge Margaret O’Connell granted the State’s motion to deny bond.

On Oct. 19, Judge O’Connell grant ed the state’s motion to deny bond for Paxton’s alleged accomplice, Marcus Melton, 28, of Lafayette, Ind. Both men have been charged with seven counts of armed robbery (Class X felony), three counts of aggravated kidnapping (Class X felony), three counts of unlawful restraint (Class 3 felony) and three counts of intimi dation (Class 3 felony). Paxton has also been charged with three counts of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon (Class 3 felony) while Melton has been charged with four counts of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon (Class 3 felony).

On May 30, 2020, at approximately 10 a.m., three employees at the Whea ton T-Mobile store located on Butter field Road had just opened the store when one of the suspects allegedly entered the store, approached two of the employees behind the counter and then pulled out a handgun, put it to the back of one of the employees and de manded merchandise.

It is alleged that two other suspects then entered the store and the three suspects led the employees to the back of the store. It is further alleged that

the suspects ordered the employees at gunpoint to open three safes contain ing merchandise and cash. It is alleged that the suspects stole merchandise including approximately 20 cellular telephones, fifteen Apple watches, one tablet and approximately $500 in cash. It is further alleged that prior to fleeing, the suspects restrained all three employees of the store with zip ties.

“It is alleged that these two men and two accomplices, violently robbed at gunpoint a T-Mobile store in broad daylight while three female employees were just trying to make an honest liv ing,” Berlin said. “In DuPage County

we will not allow violent crimes, as is alleged in this case, to take over our communities and anyone suspected of such actions will be aggressively pros ecuted. Thankfully, none of the wom en were physically injured. I thank the Wheaton Police Department for their outstanding work on this case.”

“I’m very proud of the investiga tion conducted by our officers and detectives,” Murphy said. “They un derstood how traumatizing this was for the employees and they worked tirelessly to bring the offenders to jus tice.”

An investigation into the matter continues. Anyone with pertinent in formation is asked to call Lt. Brian

Diederich will run in Peoria

STAFF REPORT

Senior Kevin Diederich of the Willowbrook boys cross-country team will compete in this Saturday’s IHSA Class 3A state meet in Peoria. Diederich earned his berth in the state meet with his strong effort in Saturday’s Waubonsie Valley Sec tional in Aurora.

Diederich completed the 3-mile race at the sectional in a 29th-place time of 15 minutes, 30.8 seconds.

The sectional’s top 10 runners who weren’t members of state-qual ifying teams advanced to the state fi nal as individuals. Diederich placed among those 10 runners.

The top seven teams in each of the state’s four sectionals earned berths in the state meet. Willowbrook’s boys team placed 14th in the team re sults of Saturday’s sectional, which included 18 full teams.

In addition to Diederich, the Warriors’ sectional lineup included sophomore Adriano Quintero, who finished the race in a 96th-place time of 16 minutes, 49.1 seconds. Soph omore Jake Skibbie (16:52.4) fin ished in 98th place, while sophomore Kasen Blain (17:04.2) wound up in 106th place. Senior Charlie Hayes (17:21.6; 112th), senior Henry Sloan (17:27.3; 114th) and sophomore Pat rick Harczos (17:59.9; 125th) round ed out Willowbrook’s sectional line up.

Two members of the Warriors’ girls cross-country team competed as individuals in Saturday’s girls race at the Waubonsie Valley Sec tional. Sophomore Amelie Oje da completed the 3-mile race in a 73rd-place time of 19 minutes, 55.1 seconds. Sophomore Malin Meeker (21:57.7) posted a 113th-place finish. Neither of the Warriors advanced to this week’s state meet.

Senior Kevin Diederich (No. 1451) of the Willowbrook boys cross-country team is pictured as he approaches the finish line during Saturday’s IHSA Class 3A Waubonsie Valley Sectional in Aurora. Diederich, who complet ed the 3-mile race in a 29th-place time of 15 minutes, 30.8 seconds, earned an individual berth in this week’s IHSA Class 3A state meet in Peoria. The sectional’s top 10 runners who weren’t members of state-qualifying teams advanced to the state meet as individuals. Willowbrook’s boys team post ed a 14th-place finish in the team standings of the sectional, which included 18 full teams.

Yes, Villa Park calling. I have a nephew who’s in athletics at a local high school and they actually play soccer in the rain. I’m trying to fig ure out why this is, why they would endanger the kids to get pneumonia and get sick; playing soccer when there’s hard rain. This is outrageous. And I wonder how many schools in the area actually have their students play when it’s cold and raining out side, and if athletics are that import ant, the disregard for the kids is not a priority.

* * *

I continue to read in Speak Out about some people’s distaste and dissatisfaction for former President Trump and his advocates. Guess what? President Trump is no longer president. Stop looking in the rear view mirror; draw your attention to what is happening in our country. People throughout the United States are being robbed, raped, shot and stabbed at alarming levels on the heels of the defund-the-police po lice ideology. Illegals are streaming across the southern border in the thousands. We know nothing about them. Gas and heating prices are alarmingly high. Grocery prices are skyrocketing. Forget about Trump. What is the direction of the U.S. un der the existing administration, his followers and their ideology?

* * *

This is a 71-year-old Vietnam vet eran calling. Many Trump supporters get upset when they are called racist, fascist and the like. When you were a kid, your parents didn’t want you to hang out with certain kids because you would get a bad reputation. Same thing applies when you be come an adult; every fascist, racist, ultra right-wing group in the coun try supports Trump. These are the people Trump supporters are in bed with, so don’t be surprised when you get lumped in with these anti-demo cratic groups.

* *

So glad to see my fellow com mon-sense neighbors adding to this column. Trump is on film saying he never loses—never, and would do anything he needed to, to win. Now we know that even before the 2020 election, he planned to declare a win, no matter what the votes were. What a terrible traitor to our democracy. How can people continue to believe anything that he says? Check for yourself; Trump reportedly cheated dozens of companies and put dozens out of business by declaring bank ruptcy. He said before the election that, I quote, “I want to be king.” And he tried, but lost.

* * *

Please keep in mind Deb Conroy, according to a campaign ad from her opponent for DuPage County Board chair (Greg Hart), partnered with corrupt Mike Madigan to raise income taxes four times. We don’t need that type of politics in DuPage County.

* * *

I can’t believe that Amendment 1 is even on the ballot in November. The state is reeling under unfunded pension debt to public sector union employees. Amendment 1 would give public sector unions even more power! Wake up Illinois!

* * *

The present ruling administration has no accountability on how they are spending our tax dollars with Ukraine and our tax dollars in other ways. Vote for performance, not per sonality when voting for your repre sentatives on Tuesday, Nov. 8. Your voice in voting is your future.

* * *

My 26-year-old daughter watch ing her cost of living continue to in crease with inflation felt it was very important to get her vote counted. She requested a mail-in ballot and filled in and signed. The ballot was returned because the signature did not match. I watched her fill it out and it is the same signature she has

had since learning cursive. It makes me wonder if it had anything to do with the straight Red ticket she filled out. Now she has to get this notarized in order to be counted. I have to won der what side of the aisle the person who makes these decisions sits on.

* * *

When you see the media ganging up against Darren Bailey, you know he might be the right guy compared to the guy in office now.

* * *

Halloween is a holiday where we celebrate death, the occult and the grotesque. What does that say about us as a culture? Where are we going as a culture?

* * *

I see Greg Hart is running for county board chairman, and I got a mailer from him telling me all the stuff he’s going to do for education. I am a little confused. I didn’t know the DuPage County Board chairman had much to do with schools. I don’t really think that’s a function of the county board chairman. Either I’m confused or he is. Thank you. Good bye.

* * *

I was wondering: Do people who never use their turn signals ever get angry at other people who never use their turn signals?

* * *

I have to give Democrats and left ists credit this election cycle. They know how to stay on script. It’s been nothing but pro-abortion, Jan uary 6th and Trump, but when you think about it, who can blame them for sticking to these talking points? They certainly can’t run on their re cord the last two years, with inflation at a 40-year high, more taxes (espe cially in this state), high gas prices, a stagnant economy, crime that’s out of control, spending that’s out of control, children falling behind in school, COVID lockdowns and vaccine mandates, a crisis along the southern border, and the list goes on.
