Arbor Day in Villa Park
Villa Park Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 2801 held its Memorial Day service on Monday morning at Cortesi Veterans Memorial Park. Post Commander Jim Blankshain is pictured bowing his head as Willowbrook High School students Lily Hendrickson and Anna Seelbach sound taps at the end of the ceremony. The post’s 2020 Memorial Day event was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s observance included a reading of the names of the Post 2801 members who have recently died. That list included World War II veteran Charles “Sid” Bergh, who served as the master of ceremonies of the post’s annual Memorial Day service for several years. A veteran of the U.S. Navy, Bergh died in October 2020. He was 94 years old. Bergh was the post’s last surviving World War II veteran.

On Sunday, Aug. 28, at 2:35 p.m., the Villa Park Fire Department responded to a reported house fire at 34 S. Summit Avenue. The home is located south of St. Charles Road and north of Wildwood Avenue. Firefighters from Engine 82 arrived at the scene and observed heavy smoke coming from the roof. The firefighters found a working fire in the kitchen at the rear of the house. The fire reportedly originated in the kitchen, in the area of the stovetop. No one was at home at the time of the fire, with the exception of the family dog. Firefighters found the dog in a rear bedroom and brought it outside. Firefighters attempted to resuscitate the dog with a special oxygen system used on animals, but the dog succumbed to smoke inhalation and could not be revived. Firefighters extinguished the fire within about 15 minutes of arriving at the residence. Damage to the home was estimated at $60,000. The home was deemed uninhabitable. The residents are reportedly staying with relatives in the area.

Aug. 21 saw a rare appearance from veteran comedic actor and Villa Park resident Matt Kissane at the world-famous Laugh Factory comedy club in Chicago. It was Kissane’s first time there since 2014. “I haven’t been seeking out club gigs lately, but I was asked by the show’s producer Steven Springer to be a part of this special night.” The show called “The Early Bird Specia” featured numerous veteran come dians including Bill Gorgo, Vince Maranto and Rachel LaBant, all of whom Matt has performed with over the years. “It was awesome getting to perform with old friends and I hope to do it again.” Kissane has been performing as a stand-up comic and actor since the early 90s and his past credits include Zanies, Summerfest in Wisconsin and as a opening act for Weird Al Yankovic and Doug Stanhope.

State Rep. Deanne Mazzochi (R-Elmhurst) recently received recognition for her pro-job growth legislative record from the Technology and Manufacturing Association.“Astatecan’t have good jobs for people across a wide range of educational and experience levels without a robust manufacturing sector,” she said. Mazzochi has visited with local manufacturers throughout the district. “The work that they do touches all sorts of essential functions. One manufactures valves for municipal water systems. Another creates custom automotive tools. Another applies sophisticated engineering to create specialty electronics. We want to keep these kinds of companies in Illinois.”TheTechnology and Manufacturing Association (TMA) is an independent trade association committed to recognizing and promoting manufacturers as value-added producers of goods and services, and creators of high quality jobs. TMA focuses on assisting small to mid-size manufacturers in all aspects of their business. TMA recently presented Rep. Mazzochi with an award to recognize her voting record in the 102nd General Assembly in support of small and mid-size manufacturers. According to David Curtain, who represented the Association and presented Rep. Mazzochi with her award, of all the lawmakers considered on both sides of the aisle, she received the highest number of votes from the Association.Arecentstudy of Illinois’ economy found that manufacturing directly or indirectly supports nearly 30% of all Illinois jobs. Mazzochi reiterated that “we must support innovation, and invest in workforce development, to ensure those good jobs stay here for the next generation. This is a strong bipartisan issue, where nearly everyone can benefit.” (Editor’s note: This was received from the office of State Rep. Deanne Mazzochi.)

all these and more. It’s all good. Or maybe not. Take it from someone who used to think she was one of the busiest of the busy—and damn proud of it, thank you very much. I know, because I’ve been there. I was there—for eons. A very, very, very busy person. I used to color code my calendar with highlighter markers – one color for each kid and one for my husband and me. I think maybe even the dog and cat had their own highlighter colors, but I’m not sure. I was too busy to commit that to memory. Some days—most days— looked like a rainbow because of all the activities, meetings, commitments and veterinary appointments. And I’ll be honest: That calendar stood as a source of pride.Iwas drinking the Kool Aid without paying attention to calories, sugar content or artificial colors and ingredients. I was buying into that brand of cool without even glancing at the label. I thought busy was cool. And it was, in a sense, but not in the way I thought at the time.
The opposite of busy
While the Social Security and Medicare programs have been around since the Roosevelt and Johnson Administrations, their longevity does not guarantee their existence so we must fight to preserve them. In July, I helped pass the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which included a range of provisions to strengthen Medicare and help our seniors. One of the most notable came through reforming Medicare Part D to cap Medicare beneficiaries’ annual out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs at $2,000.

In that moment, I discovered the opposite of busy. I discovered the nothingness of freedom. The value of unencumbered time. The beauty of a day without commitments. It redefined my life. And it made me realize I have a choice. That we all have a choice. Busy is a choice. It is also an illusion. We tell ourselves we are busy, because it somehow serves our psyche. I’m not sure how, exactly. I think perhaps “busy” serves different purposes for different people. It can alleviate loneliness; it might hide insecurity; it can give value to time spent working at a job, parenting kids or helping aging parents.Again, that is OK. Busy worked for me for many years. But right now, honestly, busy is too complicated for my life. I don’t have the time to be busy. And all I ask is for your understanding and non-judgement. I don’t judge you for being busy; please don’t judge me for the opposite.Idon’t have the drive to be busy right now. I don’t have it in my heart. I just want to be. Be calm. Be at peace. Be in the here and now. Be me. And you can be you, as busy as youJustwish.realize it isn’t for everyone. At least not anymore.

The IRA also capped the cost of insulin for Medicare beneficiaries at $35 per month starting in 2023. These are the types of investments we as a nation should be making in our seniors, and I look forward to these provisions going into full effect.Social Security is also fundamental to the wellbeing of current and future American retirees, and we must do everything we can to strengthen and sustain it, which is why I am a proud co-sponsor of the Social Security 2100 Act. This legislation will ensure the benefits we all earn keep pace with inflation and every dollar of what is owed to us is paid when it comes time to retire. I am immensely proud to have a 100 percent score from the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare and I look forward to doing more in the future to continue to justify that honor.Finally, I want to thank everyone again who came out and asked questions and engaged with me during our town hall.

After the safety, Willowbrook kicked the ball off from its own 20-yard line. The Tro jans made a good return of the kickoff and started their offensive series near the Warriors’ 30-yard line. The ensuing drive ended with a 7-yard touchdown run with about 40 seconds left in the first half. The Trojans made the ex tra-point kick to take a 16-0 lead. Downers Grove North added a 3-yard touchdown run in the middle of the third quar ter. The Trojans intercepted a Willowbrook pass later in the period. That turnover led to Downers Grove North’s final touchdown of the evening—a 4-yard scoring run with 1.6 seconds left in the third quarter.

JB Pritzker has extended his COVID emergency powers for the 33rd straight month. I understand why he used these emergency powers when the pandemic first hit, but not anymore. Now, this is nothing but a power grab. * * * Thank you, Mr. President, for your speech! You are spot-on for saying Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. I loved seeing the reactions of Trum pians after the speech, whining and moaning, just like their leader does about everything. Hopefully, it won’t be long before we see their savior be hind bars. * * * I find it amusing that Mr. Biden calls Donald Trump’s philosophy “semi-fas cism.” This is the same Joe Biden who called for national unity in his inau gural address. His speech last night (referring to Sept. 1) was pathetic and accomplished nothing except to further divide the nation. * * * I see some of my fellow residents have believed the fake story on the internet about thousands of new IRS agents going after the “little” guy. It’s all fake, friends. It’s also fake that Trump tried to give over the classified documents that had to be seized. It will be so great to see him on trial, but I’m afraid we will never see or hear the end of him and his nonsense.***

This was just days after the climate change fanatic they have as governor (Gavin Newsom) an nounced the state will ban sales of new gas-powered cars by 2035. You can’t make this stuff up. California already imports 30 percent of its en ergy. If their electric grid is having difficulty handling demand now, what is it going to be like by 2035? What’s scary is that JB Pritzker has the same mindset with regard to climate change as Newsom.

Regula tions on energy are going to drive up, and have already driven up, prices for natural gas and electricity. This green initiative has caused prices for elec tricity to go up from .12 to .75 all over Europe and they expect that to double by winter. You are going to get priced out of your homes. Please quit reading what the media wants you to focus on. * * * I just watched Joe Biden’s speech. Truly unbelievable. It appears that the Democratic Party has lost its mind. Democrats are so full of hate that they can’t think straight. As a Republican, I now know what Democrats really think of me. It’s clear that they will try to take away my basic God-given rights in order for them to attain more power. They have no respect for the Constitution or the rule of law. It’s all about pushing propaganda and ex ercising raw power in order to enact one-party rule, similar to the Soviet Union. God help us.
maybe Canada could volunteer to take some of the burden off the U.S. We have become the sanctuary country of the world, it seems.

It’s one outrage after another with the Democrats: open borders, COVID misinformation, raiding Trump’s home, the January 6th kangaroo court, mass mail-in balloting, the Green New Deal racket, forgiving student loan debt (i.e., buying votes), spending money we don’t have, etc. Apparently, the Democratic voters support all of this, which is why we will have to part ways eventually. A peaceful, voluntary separation from Democrats is what I pray for every day.* * * I am a conflicted voter. I lean to ward conservatism when it comes to reducing the size of government in order to save money/redundancy, even though years ago that put me out of a government job during the Reagan era when the funding was cut. At the same time, I understand the liberal mind set of wanting to help anybody and everybody from a social perspective.

I don’t blame the governor of Texas for sending illegal immigrant to sanctu ary cities, because he shouldn’t have to handle the burden alone.
