'THE MAYORS' MAKES DEBUT ON ADDISON COMMUNITY TELEVISION
Four Community Leaders Discuss Common Issues
Next week, Addison Community Television will debut a new program, featuring a panel of community leaders from the suburbs, discussing topics important in all of their municipalities.
Addison Mayor Larry Hartwig moderates the program – “The Mayors” – which will feature a rotating panel of Mayors and Village Presidents from neighboring communities. The debut program features Hanover Park Mayor Rodney Craig, Roselle Mayor Gayle Smolinski and Wood Dale Mayor Kenneth Johnson.

Village Honors Award Winners and Volunteers
The Village of Hanover Park announced the following information:
----------------
On Friday, January 29, 2010 the Village of Hanover Park held its seventh annual Awards Night. Village President Rodney Craig and the Village Clerk presented awards and recognized a host of Village volunteers and others who serve the Hanover Park community.
Several awards were presented throughout the evening including the Mayor's Choice Business of the Year Award, Youth of the Year, Humanitarian Award, Service to Youth Award, Educator of the Year and Citizen of the Year. Also recognized were Village Committee members and Appearance Award winners.
Service to Youth Award
The Service to Youth Award was presented to Mickey Macholl. Mickey has found a home at the Park District as a Commissioner for many years and this past year, Mickey has additionally been the Chairwoman for the HPPD Foundation.
Following a string of troubling incidents this past year, a number of individuals came together to plan an event to raise dollars to provide scholarships for Hanover Park youth. This became a major endeavor and Mickey was instrumental as the driving force to see that this event came off as we all planned and discussed. It was Mickey who modeled the determination to keep everyone on track and stay focused on the real prize, to provide for the youth of Hanover Park.
Humanitarian Award
Each year, the Village of Hanover Park presents the Hanover Park Humanitarian Award to an individual or group who has served the community through humanitarian efforts. This year’s award was presented to Dolores Herrera. Ms. Herrera, a long time resident of our community in Hanover Park, has been recognized as a community hero for the support she offered some young girls, whom were victimized by the tragic loss of their mother due to domestic violence the past year. She was amongst the first to reach out to these young girls immediately after the tragedy to ensure they were safe and taken care of.
Youth of the Year
This program is designed to recognize and encourage excellence in the young people of Hanover Park. Students are judged on heroism, community service, service to school, personal achievement and family commitment. This year’s winner was Sarah Clark who received a $1,000 scholarship and the runner up, Allison Phillips, received a $500 scholarship.
Educator of the Year
Patricia Stubbs was presented with the Educator of the Year award. Patricia is a caring leader with the strength and conviction to engage a neighborhood of families who seek to understand their responsibilities in a whole new world. Many of these families struggle to understand the culture and expectations; however they have great strength in their family values. Patricia has personally encouraged her teachers, and we have seen wonderful success in sports and mentoring sessions.
Business of the Year
The “Mayor’s Choice Business Award” program was developed by the Village’s CONECT Committee to recognize outstanding achievement in the business community within the Village. The winner of the 2009 Mayor’s Choice Business Award was Jiffy Lube. Nominees for the award included Arroyo’s Tree Service, Salon Napier and Suburban Tire.
