OFFICER BANKS RECEIVED THE FRIEND OF EDUCATION AWARD
BY THE BENSENVILLE EDUCATION ASSOCIATION
Each year, the Bensenville Education Association selects a recipient of the Friend of Education Award. The
recipient is a person or group who has shown excellence in dedicated service to the students and staff of
Bensenville School District 2. This year, the Bensenville Education Association chose to honor Officer Banks.
He was honored at a breakfast at each of the schools. Officer Banks continually goes above and beyond his
expected role to develop positive relationships with the students and support the students and teachers in
any way he can. He is a true friend and partner in the education of students here in Bensenville. “Officer
Banks is a true part of our team and is willing to support students in any way possible. He has mentored
some of our middle school students during lunch when they needed extra guidance. He has helped us meet
our students’ basic needs by helping us with wellness visits and providing resources in the community for
families. He is looked upon as a role model for many of our students. He tries to motivate them to do well at
school and in life.” —Valerie DiFresco, Social Worker at Blackhawk Middle School.

PARKWAY TREE TRIMMING
NEW DEVELOPMENTS
Village parkway trees are trimmed within various sections of the community during the months of December through March. Section 3
between Green Street and Jefferson Street and IL Route 83 to York
Road will be trimmed this 2015/2016 winter season. The trees are
pruned to eliminate low hanging branches, remove dead or damaged
limbs, and reshape the tree crown thus enhancing and preserving the
tree’s health and appearance. The objectives include:
• Allow sun light to penetrate the crown of the tree to promote new
growth and strengthen existing limbs.
Holiday Inn Express Ground Breaking
• Eliminate weak forks in tree stems and reduce the weight on support
limbs.
• Reduce the possibility of future damage to the tree by high winds
and storms.
• Maintain adequate visibility and vertical clearance for vehicle and
pedestrian traffic.
Public Works crews perform trimming on trees 15” diameter and less
and the Villages contractor trims tree greater than 15” diameter. All
branches will be hauled off that day.
A & E Luxury Aparments Ground Breaking
After the trees are trimmed they may look barren until new spring
growth occurs. History has proven that proper tree trimming is vital in
maintaining the appearance and health of our urban forest.
As work is performed near your home, you may experience some minor
inconveniences. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience.
Contact public works at 630.350.3435 with any concerns.

Electric Aggregation Renewal Process Underway
Residents saved $1.7 million in the last 3 years
The Village of Bensenville competitively bid and selected
a new electric supplier, Constellation Energy Service, at
a rate of 6.395 for 24 months. ComEd’s current rate is
7.006 so the Village was able to secure a lower rate for
residents. This change will go into effect in early spring
2016. Historically, municipalities are able to secure
lower electric rates than individuals. Some general
details about electrical aggregation:
Are there any risks?
Electrical Aggregation has few downsides. If a resident
or business does not want to participate, the program
offers an opt-out process.
What does electrical aggregation mean to
residents and small businesses in Bensenville?
More Options, Increased Protection and Convenience.
• Residents and small businesses will have the option
to “opt out” of the program, and can terminate at any
time without penalty or cost;
• The Village will arrange for all necessary filings and
notifications to ComEd. There are no switching fees
and there is NO interruption in service.
A
What can customers expect to stay the same with
electrical aggregation?
• Reliability. ComEd will always respond to outages,
maintain power lines, and respond to emergencies.
• Billing and Payment. ComEd will continue to send your
bill and process your payments.
• Responsibility. ComEd will always be responsible for
delivering all of the electricity you need.
• Accuracy. ComEd personnel will continue to read the
meters and answer your questions.
Bensenville residents aged 55 and over
are invited to enjoy a meal and play some
bingo at Monty’s Banquet Hall located at
703 S. York Road. The cost is $4.00 for a
great meal, raffle prizes, and bingo. If you
would like to join the club, simply show up
at Monty’s the day of the event with your
ID. Doors open at 10:00 AM and lunch
begins around 11:00AM. If you have any
questions, please call 630-594-1010.
The Golden
Wishes Program
Are you a senior citizen living in Bensenville and have a wish? President Soto’s
Senior & Disabled Advisory Council may
be able to grant it! “Wish” requests are
reviewed by the council quarterly. Wishes
are “granted” based on the ability to
fulfil the wish and the expense. We can’t
grant any wishes relating to healthcare,
automobiles or cash. Forms and
information can be found at Village Hall
and on our website at www.bensenville.
il.us. If you have any questions please
contact 630-350-3405.
Do I have to participate?
NO. Everyone will be given the opportunity to opt out of
the program. Notice will be sent to you in the U.S. mail.
If an electric provider comes to your house claiming they
are the new service provider for the Village it is not true
and no permits have been issued to any electrical supply
company to go door to door. If someone comes to your
home please call the police department at 630.350.3455.

FENTON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL
A NEW YEAR BRINGS AN UPDATED FACILITY
FENTON COMMUNITY
HIGH SCHOOL | District 100
1000 West Green Street
630-766-2500
www.fenton100.org
Mission Statement
The mission of Fenton High School is educate
and inspire each student to reach his/her
fullest potential as a productive, lifelong
learner and a responsible, respectful person
by providing comprehensive, challenging,
quality learning experiences in a supportive
environment.
Board of Education
Mary Ribando | President
David Vogel | Vice President
Laura Wassinger | Secretary
Nancy Gonzales | Susan Ralph
David Shimanek | Paul Wedemann
The District 100 Board of Education will hold
its regular business meetings on Monday, Jan
25 and Monday, Feb 22. District 100 meetings
are held at 7 pm in the board room at Fenton
Community High School. Parents and
community members are invited to attend.
The construction project that began at Fenton High School on June 1, 2015 will be complete
in January 2016 when the new main entrance, student cafeteria, ChromeZone and six
additional classrooms open for student and staff use.*
The project launched in May of 2013 when Fenton began working with Wight & Company to examine the current
facility and its potential for the future. A Facilities Committee, comprised of Fenton staff and administrators, District
100 Board of Education members, parents, students and community members, formed to research, set goals and
develop a long-range building renovation plan.
The 2015 – 2016 school year started later to accommodate the rigorous construction schedule. When students
arrived on August 31, they found a new student service center complete with a College and Career Center,
remodeled Media Center renamed the Academic Resource Center (ARC), up-to-date sprinkler system throughout
the building and remodeled and reconfigured classroom spaces. A new tutoring room also opened for student use
before, after and during the school day.
During first semester, it was necessary to continue a regular school day with ongoing construction. Students needed
to eat lunch in the Fenton Field House and navigating the building was sometimes a challenge for students and staff
members who needed to get from one end of the campus to the other between passing periods. Temperature control
within the building was also a challenge. But with true Fenton spirit, students and staff members worked and
learned alongside each other during the process knowing the end result would be a tremendous benefit to all.
A community open house is being planned to celebrate the new and improved facility. Details will be posted to the
Fenton website at www.fenton100.org when they are confirmed.
*Please note that due to editorial deadlines, the information in this article was up-to-date as of December 1, 2015.

There is nothing like sitting by an open fire on a cold night. Indoor and
outdoor portable ethanol burning fireplaces have become more popular in
recent years. While these products provide ambiance and a little warmth,
keep in mind the fuel, device and open flame can be dangerous.
Fireplace Safety
KKK A portable ethanol burning fireplace, and the fuel,
should only be used by adults.
KKK Clean up any fuel spillage and be sure all liquid has
evaporated before lighting the fireplace.
KKK Light the fireplace using a utility lighter or long
match.
KKK An adult should always be present when a portable
fireplace is burning.
KKK Place the fireplace on a sturdy surface away from
table edges.
KKK It’s a good idea to crack a window open for a fresh
supply of air.
KKK Never try to move a lit fireplace or one that is still
hot.
KKK Don’t pour ethanol fuel in a device that is lit or not
completely cool. It may result in a fire or injury.
KKK Allow the device to cool down for at least 15
minutes before refueling.
KKK Extinguish the flame when you leave the room,
home or go to sleep.
General Fire Safety
•
•
Keep anything that can burn, children and pets at
least 3 feet from the fireplace.
Store lighters and matches out of the reach of
children, in a locked cabinet.

Ethanol
Fuel Smarts
Store ethanol fuel in a
closed container, away from
the fireplace and out of the
reach of children.
It may not be easy to
see the ethanol fuel flame.
Always close the lid or use a
snuffer to be sure the flame is
extinguished before refueling
into a cooled fireplace.
Use only fuel made
specifically for the fireplace.
FACT
Ethanol is a plant-based
product that does not
release new carbon
monoxide into the air.
