New laws to encourage residents to pursue vocational training Illinois now has new laws in place to encourage residents to pursue vocational training programs.

State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton (D-Western Springs) supported three new laws that will help expand and attract students to vocational and apprenticeship programs to help expand the state’s economy.

An engineer herself, Glowiak Hilton passed a new law that will require the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to conduct a study on the potential expansion of apprenticeship programs.

The study outlined in Senate Bill 2024 will focus on underserved communities with high unemployment. The Commerce Department will report its findings and recommendations to the General Assembly by June 1, 2020.

“This study will ensure that the

state dedicates more time to research how we can better meet the needs of employers across Illinois,” Glowiak Hilton said. “Our goal is to ensure the state’s workforce is meeting the needs of employers to maximize opportunities to grow our economy.”

Glowiak Hilton also supported two measures to increase enrollment in apprenticeship and workforce development programs in Illinois.

The first, Senate Bill 1167, creates the Adult Vocational Community College Scholarship Program, administered by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission. The program would help support non-traditional students. The scholarship would be enough to cover the cost of tuition and fees to attend the community college without exceeding $2,000 per recipient per academic year.

“

Our goal is to ensure the state’s workforce is meeting the needs of employers to maximize opportunities to grow our economy.”

– Sen. Suzy Glowiak Hilton D-Western Springs

“This new program will open up the doors for non-traditional students who are struggling with the costs of vocational programs,” she said. “Removing financial blocks will help equip Illinois workers with the training to be successful in jobs of the future.”

The second, Senate Bill 1591, creates a tax credit of $3,500 to incentivize employers to assist ap-

AAA: Labor Day gas prices likely to be lowest in years Labor Day is quickly approaching and gas prices for the holiday weekend are lining up to be the lowest in two to three years, according to AAA. There are still a number of factors that could push prices higher before the holiday.

Today, the average price for gasoline in the U.S. is $2.60 per gallon.

Drivers are currently paying 24 cents less than they did on Labor Day 2018 ($2.84), and 4 cents less than on Labor Day 2017 ($2.64). Daily gas prices averages, including state and metro information, can be found at GasPrices.AAA.com.

“Labor Day travelers will benefit from lower oil prices this year as they fill up for their holiday road trip,” said Nick Jarmusz, Midwest director of public affairs for AAA - The Auto Club Group. “Strong US oil production rates are holding oil prices about 15% below last year’s levels, effectively reducing the price of producing gasoline. Gas prices should remain low heading into the holiday, unless something unexpected threatens fuel supplies, like geopolitical tensions or a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico.”

Labor Day marks the end of the busy summer travel season, and the

last big surge in gasoline demand before the fall. The expectation of strong demand can promote a slight and temporary bump at the pump before the holiday. However, after Labor Day, refineries begin their seasonal switch to winter-blend gasoline. Summer-blend gasoline is more expensive to produce than winter-blend, because the EPA requires more additives in the hotter months of the year. The combination of lower demand and fuel production costs typically restores downward pressure on pump prices through the end of the year.

prentices with tuition at Illinois community colleges. The credit is limited to employers engaged in a registered apprenticeship program with the U.S. Department of Labor.

“By investing in our workforce’s education, we are investing in our state’s future and economic prosperity,” Glowiak Hilton said. “Let’s continue to work together to ensure workers are ready to meet the needs of the companies of the 21st century

and beyond.”

Fifty-three percent of Illinois jobs require more than a high school degree but less than a four-year college degree, yet only 43 percent of Illinois workers are trained at that level.

These measures received bipartisan support. Senate Bill 1167 goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2020 while Senate Bill 1591 and Senate Bill 2024 go into effect immediately.

White urges motorists, students practice school bus safety With summer break coming to a close, Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White is reminding motorists to be alert and extra cautious regarding children traveling by school buses to and from school.

“School bus safety has been a top priority of my office for the entire 21 years I have served as Secretary of State,” said White. “Our efforts have produced positive results, and we are a national leader in school bus safety. But we cannot grow complacent.

As another school year begins, I urge everyone using our roads to be cautious of children making their way to and from school.”

According to School Transportation News, during the 2018 school year, 17 kids across the nation were killed by motorists who failed to stop for school buses loading or unloading passengers. However, Illinois experienced a fatality-free school year.

White noted the success of his office’s Toby Tire School Bus Safety program, which emphasizes to students the dangers associated with riding school buses and crossing the street. White encourages those with school-age children to take time to remind them of the fundamentals of student transportation safety: • Always look both ways while crossing the street, even in bus loading zones.

• Always stay clear of the 10-foot “danger zone” that surrounds the bus.

• Maintain proper behavior on the bus by speaking in normal tones and always stay seated.

• Stay away from strangers.

“We must remain vigilant in our efforts to protect our children and ensure they get to and from school in a safe and responsible manner,” said White. “Our children are our future.”

DuPage County Stormwater Management Committee Chairman Jim Zay said the event quickly sells out each time it is offered.

“We always have a strong showing of people interested in learning about how DuPage County manages floodwater,” said Zay. “This tour gives us an opportunity to explain how the Elmhurst Quarry detains 2.7 billion gallons and protects residents

and their property during intense rainfall. The magnitude of this facility is very impressive, and we are happy to be able to give residents a chance to see it up close.”

Following the quarry visit, participants can take a self-guided tour of the Elmhurst History Museum’s exhibit, “By All Accounts: The Story of Elmhurst,” which includes more information and a video about the quarry’s history.

“The Elmhurst Quarry was one of Elmhurst oldest businesses, and it is a site that many people have been very curious about over the years,” said Jessie Wandersee, supervisor of education services at the Elmhurst

History Museum. “The quarry tour offers a behind-the-scenes opportunity to learn about the facility’s history and view its inner workings from viewing platforms that are usually closed to the public.

The Elmhurst Quarry is the largest of DuPage County’s 17 flood control facilities countywide. Using a predetermined operating plan, DuPage County Stormwater Management staff allows floodwater to enter the Elmhurst Quarry via a 400-foot tunnel, which runs under Illinois Route 83. The quarry holds the floodwater until water elevations recede enough to pump the water back into Salt Creek.

Report: ‘Bullying’ rife in House Speaker’s office Former prosecutor paints bleak picture of Madigan’s exchief of staff

By Rebecca Anzel CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

An investigation into the “workplace culture” of Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan’s office found his former chief of staff contributed to a culture of bullying pervasive throughout the Capitol system.

The review, conducted by former federal prosecutor and former executive inspector general Maggie Hickey, was called for in response to allegations of harassment. She currently works for Schiff Hardin LLP. Hickey found “by far the most consistent criticism” of more than 100 people interviewed was “bullying,” according to the report released Tuesday. The issues, including “hazing” experienced by some workers, were described as “inevitable” due

to long hours workers spend in the Statehouse and the “militant” nature of Madigan’s staff.

Madigan and a group of female Democratic lawmakers called for Hickey to conduct the probe of the Speaker’s office in June 2018.

“I welcomed this independent review to better understand the workplace culture within the Office of the Speaker and to help improve the environment in the Capitol,” Madigan said in a press release.

One of the allegations was against Timothy Mapes, who was the speaker’s chief of staff for more than 25 years and clerk of the House for more than six years before resigning in June 2018.

Sherri Garrett, an account technician, worked in the Statehouse since the 1980s. She made eight allegations against Mapes, which Hickey classified into three groups in her report: illustrations of Mapes’ leadership approach, examples of how he managed workplace harassment complaints and allegations he made inappropriate comments at work.

In interviews for the investigation,

Coverage for EpiPens to be required by state law

she told Hickey that Mapes had “an inordinate amount of power in the State,” according to the report, including influence over harassment complaints. Hickey’s report said most of the people she interviewed, regardless of their opinion of Mapes, said he “commonly threatened people’s jobs” or “reminded them that they were dispensable.”

Hickey concluded Mapes “had a habit of being discourteous to workers and representatives.”

“The number of independently verified instances of Mr. Mapes’s derogatory behavior was overwhelming,” Hickey said in her report. “Mr. Mapes had a reputation for denigrating workers and threatening their jobs.”

The report also found Mapes made “discourteous and inappropriate comments” to and around Garrett, as well as other workers, to “[exert] power” over them.

“It is my position that the recent criticisms made against me do not truly appreciate the size of the responsibility of my position,” Mapes said in a statement distributed by his law firm, Clifford Law Offices. “The daily needs of my position required constant attention in order to ensure the successful operation of our government. I made every effort to satisfy these demands.”

But in her report, Hickey noted Mapes held “substantial actual and perceived authority” in Madigan’s office as well as the Capitol.

“Whether he intended it or not, many workers said that Mr. Mapes caused them to believe that they were easily replaceable, and therefore, they made sure not to make waves, even if they would have had workplace harassment concerns that

they believed warranted attention,” according to the report.

She recommended Madigan reorganize the hierarchy of his office to prevent the amount of power and influence Mapes wielded to again rest with one person. In the report, she suggested the speaker take on a greater role in his office and delegate additional responsibilities to senior members of his staff.

The document also states the speaker’s human resources department should be given additional authority, workers should receive more harassment training, and the office should have clearer reporting structures.

“I truly hope that the workplace culture changes so that people doing this important work are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve,” Garrett said in a press release.

The report said that while many people believe the power wielded by the speaker’s office “has been used to silence opposition” and “discouraged some people from coming forward,” many of those interviewed also believed the office “can use its power to eliminate harassment and discrimination from the Capitol workplace by being transparent, accountable, and a model for other workplaces and legislatures.”

“We agree,” Hickey wrote.

The investigation also focused on allegations made by Chicago Democratic Rep. Kelly Cassidy and activist Maryann Loncar.

The report notes “there is insufficient evidence to conclude that Representative Lang engaged in wrongdoing.”

Dental implants could be the answer. A dental implant is an artificial root to which an artificial tooth is attached. An implant can replace one or more teeth or permanently support a bridge or denture.

Here are some of the proven benefits of dental implants: ◗ Improved Appearance ◗ Dental implants look and feel just like your own teeth, so no one will

know unless you tell them. ◗ Improved Self-Confidence ◗ An attractive, natural-looking appearance plus the ability to speak and

eat normally and comfortably will have you smiling again! ◗ Improved Oral Health ◗ Dental implants actually preserve bone tissue, and the procedure is

considered non-invasive because it does not affect the surrounding teeth. ◗ Reliability

Dental implants have had a proven track record for more than 35 years, and are an excellent option for tooth replacement.

State law requires dental exams on all Illinois

Slices of life

Agony of ‘de-feet’ During the summer months, I enjoy going barefoot and dipping my feet into the lake. My husband and I experience our own version of a pedicure when we wade in a shallow sandbar and the minnows swimming there nibble on our toes.

It scared me at first – and grossed me out to be honest – to think they were eating on our toes. But it only tickles and is actually pleasant once you get used to the idea of a small fish treating your skin like a smorgasbord.

During the summer I become more aware of feet. It’s probably because they are more available and viewable during the height of sandal season.

This can be good or bad, depending on the overall state of the feet within question or within view.

Feet are as different as the people walking atop of them. Some are short, some long. Some are wide, some narrow. Some are hairy, some bald. Some have polished toenails; others go for a more natural look.

Some are rather cute, others eye averting (ahem).

Like many things in life, my husband and I differ on foot stance.

We are definitely not feet twins; our toes are not even distantly related.

The height of my toes decreases from the tallest big toe to the shortest little toe in a uniform fashion. I am able to trim my toenails straight across because they grow straight and end straight.

I have very neat and orderly feet. (I wish the same could be said about the rest of my body and my life in general, but that’s another topic.)

The length of my husband’s toes conjures up a one-word description: anarchy. There is no law, no order, no pattern of tidiness; it’s simple disarray. His toenails are not cut neatly straight across because they do not grow neatly straight across.

They are jagged and curved in places where jags and curves are unneeded and unwanted.

Yet he doesn’t care and is basically unaware of the chaos living under his ankles.

My husband doesn’t give much thought to his toes, which is a good thing because pondering the subject would likely bring about frustration. What can a person do to change their toes? Not much besides polish and it’s highly unlikely my husband would ever go there. No, you’ve got to work with the hand (or in this case foot) you’re dealt.

Despite the fact that I’m okay

with the overall look of my feet in sandals, I realize this is not the reason feet were put on earth. Feet have so much more to do than look pretty in flip-flops. They are workhorses in the plainest sense of the word.

Our feet carry the entire weight of our bodies – all day, every day.

Every step we take is dependent on one foot or the other. When we go barefoot, they get dirty. When we wear shoes they get sweaty. They get calloused and ingrown from everyday wear and tear. They get blisters when we wear the wrong shoes.

We moisturize our face, arms, legs and body but often forget about our feet until sandal season is looming and they are literally calling out for help. They do so much, and all we give them in return is the occasional pedicure, which if I am being honest, I have never experienced.

I hear many people think pedicures are fantastic. Luxurious even. I don’t think I could enjoy one; someone picking at and messing with my feet just seems a little too up close and personal.

Unless it was a school of minnows. Then I could do that.

Slang today, gone tomorrow?

Word meanings change with time and teens. It’s not easy keeping up with modern slang. And I generally don’t try.

Certainly I know the word “chill.”

Verb and adjective. Let’s just stay in tonight and chill. He’s really chill, I like him. Or perhaps instead of telling someone to calm down and relax, you tell them to chill.

There are some terms I can guess.

“Extra” means to be overly much, dramatic, over the top. Someone who wants a lot of attention or goes wild or is excessive. She’s so extra.

“Flex” has a new connotation and these days is not just for showing off your muscles. To flex is to show off anything. Driving his dad’s Porsche – he just wants to flex. My generation

Conroy earns TFIC award State Rep. Deb Conroy (D-Villa Park) was honored with the Friend of Infrastructure Award from the Transportation for Illinois Coalition (TFIC) for her role in ensuring Illinois took a critical step forward in investing in a better economic future through her support for the state’s capital program that will make investments in local infrastructure.

TFIC, an umbrella organization of business, labor and transportation groups advocating for nearly 20 years in Springfield for transportation investment, has worked closely with lawmakers in Springfield on the state’s first capital program in 10

years. Funding shortfalls over the past decade, and extending for many years before, caused many painful problems on Illinois’ transportation system: broken concrete and dangerous potholes, frustrating traffic congestion and delayed transit trips, and real safety concerns. At the end of the spring legislative session in May, Democrats and Republicans in the General Assembly joined with Gov. J.B. Pritzker to approve a significant new capital program for transportation and many other needs, funded by gaming expansion and transportation user taxes and fees.

Editor’s note: A Villa Park caller responded to a Speak Out call that appeared in the Aug. 15 issue. This call contains the Aug. 15 call, with the Villa Park caller’s rebuttals to that call appearing in parenthesis.

Even though I support President Trump on issues such as the economy (which is challenged by many economists), cracking down on illegal immigration (no new laws; just a mess at the border) and judicial appointments (should church and state be separated?), I am getting more and more frustrated with him because he continues to shoot himself in the foot with his constant tweeting (because it shows his real thinking) and his big mouth (what percent-age are lies). The Democrats are just as bad (this is real to you). All they do is hate on Trump and look for white privilege, bigotry and racism under everyone bed. (Not under any bed; just in his tweets). While Trump and the Democrats trade insults (both sides are insulting? But one has a big mouth), the country suffers and becomes more polarized. (Polarized as it has been since the electorate thought that the Tea Party was a good alternative.) I find myself wishing there was a third party to vote for in 2020 (when the Tea Party was voted in, they thought they had a mandate, although only one of the elected received near the votes as the president in their district). *** A huge thank you to Villa Park Police Chief Lay for his time and money spent cooking hot dogs and chips free to those who attended Villa Park Community Pride Commission’s “Sidewalk Chalk Party” on the sidewalks of Village Hall. A huge thank you also to talented artist Wendee Goles for her time and money spent on expensive face paint.

The paintings were fabulous! Our event would not have been as successful without you. God bless you both. You make Villa Park proud. *** This is Villa Park calling. American presidents have always governed with dignity, strong sense of national purpose and international responsibility. But since this tainted election in 2016, Trump has debased the dignity and decorum of the presidency. Every day for three years he has trampled on the principles and practices of democratic governing.

He caters to foreign tyrants and a disgruntled base of 30 or 35 percent of the population. Most obviously missing from him is any sense of public service or moral conscience.

Instead of working for the coun-

try’s best interest he is only out for himself and to embellish his name.

Through all his words and deeds and thousands of lies, Trump has shown himself to be an egotistical, self-centered, divisive force against America. He needs to be removed from office by any means possible.

Now. Thank you. *** Hey, Villa Park. The village should get out there and put the yellow line back on Ardmore Avenue so people will quit driving down the middle of Ardmore. That’s not where the roadway is. If you go look the yellow line’s still there but the village repaved it and forgot to put the yellow lines down near Jackson.

So everybody drives down the middle of the street thinking the parking lanes are part of the roadway. Come on, village, get with it. Spend $10 bucks and get a yellow can out there with a guy. *** Regarding allegations against Tom Cullerton; since he was a Villa Park trustee he has served his constituents and veterans passionately.

It’s sad to see his critics gleefully anticipating his downfall while ignoring the concept of “innocent until proven guilty,” his strong family values and public service. None of the allegations have anything to do with his duties of his offices. Anyone dealing with the Teamsters must be on guard. *** I agree that none of us who call Speak Out should be name calling — the president does enough of that. No other politician does name calling, but he also doesn’t see that he is a racist. His actions just happen to prove that. Let’s make sure we give examples of our problems with politicians — not just general disapproval. *** So Planned Parenthood is opting out of federal funding because of the new rules restricting abortion counseling. By their own account, many women will not get other services.

However, abortion counseling is but one portion of what they offer, and for a lot of women, those reproductive services will likely go away as funding dries up. How can Planned Parenthood say they care so much about women? It’s like scrapping a whole project because a few nails are bent. *** Someone left a comment in the Aug. 22 Speak Out about the six children from Central America who died after entering this country illegally. I wonder if the person who submitted

that comment has shed any tears for the Americans who have been murdered by illegal aliens. Will Speak Out print the first names of some of those American victims, including children? I could provide more than six names. A lot more. *** Our spend-our-money governor is signing legislation to start teachers at a minimum of $40,000 a year. He says it will attract more teachers. I am not against paying a fair wage for beginning teachers, but at the same time, our property taxes keep eating away at our own budgets, and we will all end up paying for this in the long run, as their salaries keep going up with a new baseline pay. I am so tired of a tax here, a tax there adding up to more and more sacrifices on my part. You want to attract new teachers but at the same time, you are losing more and more Illinois residents. That tax base will shrink and those of us left living here will take on even more of the tax burden.

What is wrong with this picture? *** The Aug. 22 Speak Out included a comment mentioning the names of six children who died after entering the country illegally. I will join you in praying for them, but are you insinuating their deaths were caused

by President Trump and/or the United States? Please. Juan reportedly left his home in El Salvador with a smuggler. He reportedly had a brain infection and died after spending several days in a Texas hospital.

Darlyn, also of El Salvador, report-

edly had a history of congenital heart defects. She died after having surgery in the United States. Jakelin, from Guatemala, reportedly died of an infection/septic shock. Felipe, also from Guatemala, reportedly died from a bacterial infection/influenza. His father reportedly refused medical treatment for his son in the U.S. Wilmer, of Guatemala, reportedly died from multiple intestinal and respiratory infectious diseases. He spent weeks in a Texas hospital. Carlos, who was also from Guatemala, reportedly died from influenza and complications from pneumonia and sepsis. Pray for these children, but don’t imply that our country caused their deaths. *** Except for a very few legislators, there are no heroes or leaders in our Congress in Washington, D.C. I’m ashamed, embarrassed and sometimes angry at the political stunts and playacting of our politicians.

None of what they do or say makes Americans’ lives easier, happier or safer. There is but one person working for the American people. He is not a shining, wholesome figure; he is hardworking and blunt. He gets the job done for us. That is President Trump. *** Free, free, free. Taxpayers are paying through the nose. Wake up, people. Wake up. *** It’s too bad Donald Trump can’t exercise some self-restraint. Just because Denmark doesn’t want to

discuss selling Greenland, Donald Trump throws a fit and cancels a visit with their prime minister. I really thought that once Trump took over as president, he would cut back on the pettiness and the name-calling.

Instead, I’d have to say it’s gotten worse. When the economy is doing well, a president should be a shooin to get reelected, but because of the silly, stupid and petty things he often says and does, he could very well lose. *** There was a Speak Out caller (Aug. 22 issue) that made a couple of good points about property taxes and what percentage of our property tax bill goes to school districts.

School districts receive 75 percent of all property taxes collected, and the rest of the village services such as police, fire, the park district, etc., get what’s left. A lot of these school districts have assistant administrators and specialists for this, that and the other thing. How many of these assistant administrators and specialists do these schools really need?

I’m sure that some of these positions could be consolidated, if not eliminated. *** I agree with the caller who said politicians are paying lip service to us taxpayers. Tell us exactly how you are going to lower our taxes then go to work on it. More action and less talk. Although with the new minimum of $40,000 for new teachers, I don’t see how our property taxes will ever go down.

Since 2015, ComEd has supported critical safety needs of local municipalities through Powering Safe Communities, bringing essential public safety programs and services to people and populations throughout the energy company’s service territory.

For the past four grant cycles, ComEd has collaborated with the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, a council for Chicagoland’s chief elected officials, on public policy issues and to fund $670,000 worth of public safety projects throughout northern Illinois.

Through this collaboration, ComEd provides the program funding, the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus administers the grants to local communities, and grant recipients match ComEd’s contribution with their own funding of equal or greater value.

Earlier this year, public agencies from across communities that ComEd serves submitted grant applications, which were then reviewed by an advisory committee comprised of public safety, local government, and allied professionals.

Pritzker signs bill phasing in $40K minimum teacher pay

By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Some teachers in Illinois will get a pay raise starting next year, thanks to a bill that Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed into law Aug. 22.

House Bill 2078, which passed the General Assembly in the final days of the 2019 session, phases in an increase in minimum teacher salaries to $40,000 a year over the next four years.

“As Illinois’ children head back to school this week and next, this new law says to them and their parents loud and clear, we value teachers,” Pritzker said during a Statehouse news conference.

The bill is aimed at relieving what many have described as a severe statewide teacher shortage in Illinois.

During the 2018-2019 school year, Pritzker said, roughly 1,500 teaching positions across the state were unfilled.

“We need to start taking this problem seriously and this legislation is a

good step toward solving it,” state Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, the chief Senate sponsor of the bill, said in a statement.

According to data from the Illinois State Board of Education, the average salary of a public school teacher in the state was $65,721 during the 20172018 academic year, the most recent year for which figures are available.

But the salaries for individual teachers varies greatly, depending on their location, years of experience, their own level of education and the financial resources of the district in which they teach.

Officials estimate the new law will affect about 8,000 of the state’s 127,000 full-time public school teachers.

Bentley Stewart, a second-year teacher at Crossroads Learning Center in the Jacksonville School District, said during the news conference that she earns about $34,000 teaching stu-

College to host Portrait Of A Soldier art exhibit Former Gov. Pat Quinn to join opening ceremony on Sept. 11

Portrait of a Soldier, a memorial art exhibit featuring hundreds of handsketched portraits of Illinois service members killed in action since 9/11, will be displayed for a week at Elmhurst College beginning on Sept. 9.

Former Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, who established the exhibit in 2004, will introduce it during an opening ceremony on Sept. 11.

The origins of the exhibit date to 2004, when Cameron Schilling, an artist from Mattoon, drew a portrait of Charles Neeley, a fellow Mattoon resident who died in Iraq, and gave it to Neeley’s parents.

About a year later, Schilling decided to draw a portrait of each Illinois service member killed in action since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

He sends the originals to the service members’ families, and copies are

added to the Portrait of a Soldier display.

The exhibit has traveled across the state in recent years. It includes portraits of more than 300 members of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. It is arranged by each soldier’s date of death, beginning with Patrick Murphy, of Flossmoor, who died on Sept. 11, 2001.

The exhibit will be on display from Monday, Sept. 9 through Sunday, Sept. 15, in the Founders Lounge of the Frick Center on the campus of Elmhurst College. An opening ceremony will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 11, at 11:30 a.m. in the Founders Lounge.

Admission to the exhibit and reception are free and all are welcome.

For more information, call (630) 617-5186.

dents who’ve been suspended or expelled from regular schools.

“It’s a very hard job and teachers don’t mind that, but we also want to be secure in knowing we’ll be able to raise our own families and that our families will be secure,” she said. “This law goes a long way towards that.”

Under current law, the minimum salary for a teacher ranges from $9,000 for someone with less than a bachelor’s degree to $11,000 for someone with a master’s degree. That law hasn’t changed since the early 1980s.

The new law raises the minimum salary to $32,076 in the 2020-2021 school year. It then adds $2,500 in each of the next two years, finally arriving at $40,000 in the 2023-2024 school year.

After that, mandatory increases will be indexed to inflation.

Although passage of the bill will increase costs for some school districts, Pritzker noted that this year’s budget included a $375 million increase in state funding for K-12 education.

According to a fiscal analysis of the bill, the higher minimum salary will

add, on average, about 0.5 percent to each district’s “adequacy target” under the state’s new Evidence Based Funding system.

It also could widen the gap between current funding and the adequacy target for many districts.

Under that funding system, each district is assigned a target for adequate funding, and those that are the furthest below their target receive top priority for funding increases each year, with the goal of providing adequate funding to all districts by 2027.

EWAN’s 5th ‘Cue for a Cause fires up the grills on Sunday

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE INDEPENDENT

In what has quickly become a Labor Day Weekend tradition in the Elmhurst community, the fifth annual ‘Cue for a Cause, presented by the Elmhurst Walk-In Assistance Network (EWAN). This year’s event takes place Sunday, Sept. 1 from 12 noon to 8 p.m. in the municipal lot on Vallette, just east of York St., behind the Knights of Columbus Hall.

Admission is free.

Registered competitors are no doubt perfecting their barbecue techniques in anticipation of the chance to walk away with bragging rights and a prize. First, second and third place grillers will be recognized in the categories of ribs, chicken and sauce. The team with the highest combined score among all three categories will earn the top prize of ‘Cue for a Cause Grand Champion.

Among the invited judges, all of whom are local, is Elmhurst Mayor Steve Morley.

The ‘Cue isn’t just for competitors, so the public is encouraged to come out and watch what happens when competitors go toe-to-toe, or “grill-to-grill.” Four live bands

will provide musical entertainment throughout the afternoon and evening.

Elmhurst’s own “Barbeque Jim” Lawshe will fire up the grill to offer a full range of items to guests from hot dogs to burgers to pork on a stick.

Even a veggie burger will be available. Beer and wine will be available for purchase and the root beer float stand is always a hit – among kids and adults alike. There will be a dedicated kids area with games for the younger set, while adults check out the items in the raffle tent.

While competitors can’t serve their ribs or chicken to the crowds, people will have the opportunity to taste the sauces and vote on their favorite. Prizes are awarded at the end of the event, so stick around to the very end to learn who’s BBQ was the BEST! The Elmhurst Walk-In Assistance Network is a local not-for-profit dedicated to serving Elmhurst neighbors in need of financial help ARCHIVE PHOTO Rock Valley Publishing during a difficult time. Since its start EWAN’s Cue for a Cause returns on Sunday, Sept. 1 and pictured here are Dan Gibbons and Kathy in 1997, it has given over a million dollars in assistance and has pro- Arneson, who took part in last year’s event.

Warriors edge the Rams in head-to-head meeting Willowbrook posts its first dual-meet win of the season

The Willowbrook girls golf team earned its first victory of the season when it defeated Glenbard East in last week’s dual meet at Glendale Lakes Golf Club. The Warriors defeated the Rams 197-204.

Three Warriors—senior Julianna Paulsen, junior Peyton Mitrick and sophomore Emma Rattana— shot nine-hole scores of 48 in the Aug. 21 contest. Freshman Mickey

Martens posted a 53 to account for Willowbrook’s team score of 197 (48+48+48+53).

Rattana leads list of returners for Willowbrook girls golf team

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Willowbrook girls golf coach Jim White has experience on his side.

The Warriors return a number of girls from last year’s team, including sophomore Emma Rattana, who qualified for the state meet as a freshman.

Also back are juniors Kayla RaueLease and Peyton Mitrick. RaueLease was 16th at the West Suburban Conference junior-varsity meet last year. Senior Julianna Paulsen also is looking to make a difference for the Warriors.

“Our returners are all leaders and

are setting the expectations for the younger players,” said White, who noted he has 18 golfers in the program this season.

White has noticed improvements right out of the gates. “I’m impressed by their determination to getting better. We have girls who played a number of times over the summer and are ready for the season.”

White likes the fact his team has a willingness to be challenged and become better. “We need to stay focused, reduce mistakes on the course and play with a great deal of pride,” he said.

vided a 42, while Mitrick and senior Alexis Masseo turned in scores of 47 and 48, respectively.

The Warriors hosted the nineteam Rachel Gibson Invitational on Saturday at Twin Lakes Golf Club.

The meet featured a nine-hole scram-

ble, followed by nine holes of individual play.

Willowbrook finished in fourth place in the final standings with a 149. That total included the team’s nine-hole scramble score of 32, as well as the Warriors’ three best in-

dividual rounds. Rattana shot the team’s best nine-hole score—a 35, which was good for fifth-place among all individuals.

Maine West won the team competition with its overall score of 137. St. Ignatius placed second with a 139.

Willowbrook girls volleyball team excels on defense Warriors return players at key positions, including Ceh, Reckamp, Linnig and Bruschuk

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

They say defense wins games.

And that’s great news for the Willowbrook girls volleyball team.

“Our defense will continue to be our greatest strength,” coach Irene Mason said.

Willowbrook returns three-year all-West Suburban Conference Gold Division selection Payton Ceh (5-3, libero, senior), who will anchor the back line for the Warriors.

“The defensive intensity and competitive energy in the gym has been awesome,” Mason added. “I’m anticipating another standout season from

Payton, who is a four-year returning varsity libero. I’m also looking forward to having Lizzy Bruschuk (56, DS-OH, sophomore) and Payton back next to each other in the back row this season. Their competitiveness drives our team’s overall effort.”

Willowbrook won 15 matches last season and went 3-3 in WSC Gold action.

Also back for the Warriors are junior setter-right-side hitter Grace Reckamp (5-10) and sophomore setter-right-side hitter Katie Linnig (57).

Key newcomers to the group include sophomore outside hitter Kyla Ostrowski (5-8) and freshman rightside hitter Natalie Cipriano (5-6).

“I’ve been most impressed by our overall enthusiasm and knowledge and skill set of our returning starting setters (Reckamp and Linnig),”

said Mason. “Grace and Katie have emerged as vocal leaders for our team. I’m also impressed with the full recovery Payton has made since undergoing season-ending surgery last October. She has been pushing herself to get back to where she was and looks as good as new.”

Mason said the Warriors have been hard at work on the offensive end. “We are continuing to try and improve offensively and find hitters who are going to step up and consistently be a scoring threat for us,” she said.

Mason said aggressive serving is going to be a “crucial part of our offense.”

Reckamp and Linnig will run that offense. “Both have been working hard all spring and summer,” said

The demolition of the pool at Lufkin Park is complete. Fowler Services, LLC, of Elgin, began demolishing and removing the pool and related structures at the park on July 15. The company then added about 50 truckloads of soil and re-graded the site at 1000 S. Ardmore Ave. Grass seed and straw were added last week. The photo from Saturday shows the soon-to-be green space. A demolition crew vehicle reportedly caused damage to at least one nearby utility pole on Aug. 21. The incident reportedly left about 95 nearby homes without power for approximately nine hours. ComEd replaced two wooden power poles and restored power to the area.

Fenton football team ready for season

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Fenton football team continues to make progress under thirdyear head coach Matt Lynch.

“We’ve made tremendous progress,” said Lynch, whose team went 4-5 a year ago. “Every day we are taking big steps forward.”

Lynch saw plenty that he liked

• Volleyball

over the summer where the Bison held their usual camp, using their allowable 25 contact days.

“No complaints,” he said late last week. “We are motoring along. Everything is starting to come together.

We still have a week to go until we play a game, but everything is coming together nicely and things are starting to gel.”

Lynch loves his team’s work ethic heading into the season. “We will play hard,” he said. “We have a group of kids that will compete and they will be out there playing hard in practices and in games.”

Lynch said progress has been widespread, but there still is work to be done. “There is no one or two

Mason. “They have played a lot of competitive volleyball and are playing very smart, and are taking over the offense. They are going to be dominant forces for us this season.

Their confidence and leadership skills have grown immensely since last season.”

Mason noted her team has an exceptional work ethic. “I love this group’s desire to learn and improve,” she said. “They work hard every second that they are on the court and compete to be the best

they can be.”

Mason added the mental side of the game will be another key for the Warriors. “We have to work hard, be confident and believe we can compete with and beat anyone and everyone who is on the other side of the net,” she said.

Mason noted Willowbrook has finished fourth in the WSC Gold the last few years. The team would like to change that this season. “We’re looking to step up and move our way up to the top,” she said.

things,” he said. “I like how everything is starting to come together, but we will have to clean up some stuff.”

Fenton benefits from a roster with experience. “We have a lot of guys returning,” Lynch said. “We played a lot of juniors last year so we have a healthy mix of new guys and returning starters.”

Fenton will be led by the likes of seniors Andre Bess (WR-RB-DB), Diamon King (WR-DB), junior Eric Moreno (OL-DL), senior Julian Giles (OL-DL), senior Angelo Mendoza (OL-DL), senior Ethan Doliente (OL-LB), senior Ethan Queyquep (WR-DB), senior Andre Reed (QB, WR, DB), senior Marcel Rusiecki (OL-DL) and senior Kevin Gonzalez (RB-LB).

“It’s a great group of kids to work with,” said Lynch.

Fenton is now a member of the Upstate Eight Conference. The Bison will play nine UEC games this year (no non-conference games), with the first one coming Friday at home against Elgin Larkin. The Bison also will be home in Week 2 against West Chicago.

“We are excited to play new teams that we have not played before,” said Lynch. “We don’t know much about them and what to expect. We will take it as it comes.”

Lynch said as far as short-term and long-term prognostications, the team is keeping it in the extreme short-

We haven’t had a bad practice yet.

Every day we are getting better.”

Week 1 Preview: Elgin Larkin at Fenton When: Friday, 7:30 p.m.

Where: Fenton High School, Bensenville Last year: Teams did not play Outlook: It’s a whole new ballgame for Fenton this year as it begins play in the Upstate Eight Conference. With 10 teams in the league, Fenton will play a straight nine-game conference schedule.

Elgin Larkin, like Fenton, is coming off a 4-5 season a year ago.

This is the first of two home games to start the season for the Bison.

Fenton hosts West Chicago in Week 2 before facing Streamwood on the road in Week 3.

Week 1 Preview: Conant at Addison Trail When: Friday, 7:30 p.m.

Where: Addison Trail High School, Addison Last year: Conant 7, Addison Trail 0 Outlook: As Addison Trail coach Paul Parpet Jr. stated previously, his team has a golden opportunity to gain momentum right out of the gates and that starts against Conant, which went 6-4 last season.

However, the Blazers lost last year’s season opener only 7-0 against the Cougars. Addison Trail then hits the road the next two weeks against Downers Grove North and Proviso East (to kickoff West Suburban Gold play).

Week 1 Preview: Providence Catholic at Willowbrook When: Friday, 7:30 p.m.

Where: Willowbrook High School, Villa Park Last year: Teams did not play Outlook: Willowbrook stepped up its Week 1 non-conference strength of schedule big-time, going from a 41-0 win last year against Chicago Curie to playing a football-tradition-rich team in Providence Catholic of New Lenox and the Chicago Catholic League/ East Suburban Catholic League Conference Green Division. Providence went 5-5 last year and made the IHSA Class 6A state playoffs.

Willowbrook went 11-1 last season. The Warriors posted a perfect 9-0 regular-season record and advanced to the IHSA Class 7A state quarterfinals. Willowbrook has qualified for the state-quarterfinal round in each of the last three seasons.

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.

ALPINE CREEK DENTAL & EDUCATION

What many people don’t know is that dental insurance is quite different from medical insurance. Dental insurance premiums can be more expensive than simply paying out of your own pocket for routine checkups and cleanings many times. Most dental policies emphasize prevention and diagnostics, typically covering two annual exams and cleanings and x-rays annually.

||||||||||||||||

DENTAL INSURANCE IS NOT “INSURANCE” BY DEFINITION. Dental "insurance" should really be called dental benefits. It is a benefit typically offered by an employer, however, it more appropriately should be considered a coupon for dental care a year, regardless of one's dental health. Typical Dental Benefit plans have a $1500 maximum per year and have waiting periods up to one year. To treat a tooth with a root canal, a build up and a crown, usually, the dental benefits may not be enough for the cost of treatment needed.

Anyone exploring dental coverage may want to consider forgoing traditional dental insurance in favor of an alternative: an in office membership plan. You pay an annual fee to receive certain services at a set rate or at a discount. Here at Alpine Creek Dental we offer an in office plan that is a yearly fee and covers one set of x-rays, one exam, plus 10% off all services for one full year. There are no waiting periods, and there are no maximums as to how much you can save in a given year. Contact us to find more about our in office membership plan.

According to research, one of the things we first notice about someone is their smile. So, how much are your teeth worth?

Are they valuable enough to buy dental insurance if you don’t already have coverage?
