KJ Rhodes - WR, DB, KR, Standout two-sport star (basketball & football), very much like Hononegah star Isaiah Houi

The family has been residing at Anmer Hall in Norfolk over the Easter break, supporting Kate during her treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer. Last Wednesday, William even paid tribute to England Lioness and Villa forward Rachel Daly after her retirement from international football.

While Kate continues her 'preventative' chemotherapy, the family plans to spend the Easter holiday in Norfolk in Virginia. The children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are set to return to their Berkshire private school on April 17.

Reportedly Carole Middleton, Kate's mother, has been supporting her daughter through her recovery at her Windsor home. The Princess has stepped back from royal duties until cleared by her medical team.

William was recently spotted on a quiet pub outing with his mother-in-law in Norfolk, according to The Daily Mail's Richard Eden.

Kate announced her cancer diagnosis in March, noting the challenging time for her family but expressing her determination to get stronger. The announcement followed news in February of King Charles III undergoing cancer treatment.

The royal family has kept a low profile but spent the Easter holidays together. William, who has not been publicly seen since Kate's announcement, is expected to resume his public duties after the children return to school.

In February, William discussed the rise of anti-Semitism in Britain during an event at the Western Marble Arch Synagogue in London.

On the football front, Ollie Watkins' goal gave Villa a 1-0 lead, which they extended to a 2-1 victory against Lille. John McGinn added another goal for Villa, securing their win.

Aston Villa is set to face first-place Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday, April 14.

VILLA PARK, IL – The leadership of Villa Park School District 45 changed overnight Monday, with the school board giving no notice to the public.

As of Tuesday morning, Brian Graber, assistant superintendent of human resources, was listed as superintendent of the 3,100-student district.

Over the weekend, Tony Palmisano was still listed as the superintendent. According to board minutes, he has not attended a meeting since last October.

In a public statement Tuesday morning – hours after Patch's story appeared – the district acknowledged the board and Palmisano entered an agreement that will conclude his employment with the district 36 days into the 2025-26 budget year. That would likely be sometime in August. or September 2025.

Palmisano is transitioning into the role of assistant superintendent, according to the statement.

"The Board and Dr. Palmisano will partner with one another in his remaining time as a District employee to ensure a smooth leadership transition," the statement said.

According to the district's website, Palmisano makes $234,000 a year.

The school board, which met Monday night, apparently decided on a new superintendent. Through a posted meeting agenda, the board is supposed to alert the public about the votes it plans to take. That is a requirement of the state's Open Meetings Act.

But nothing in the agenda indicates the board planned to vote on changing superintendents.

The board did include two items on its agenda that may be connected to the decision to change leadership. They were "Approve First Amendment to Employment Contract for an Administrator" and "Approve Amended Employment and Retirement Contract for an Administrator." No names were listed.

In an email to Patch on Tuesday, the district's spokesman, Tom Jackson, said the board complied with the open meetings law.

"The District believes that sufficient notice was provided in accordance with the Open Meetings Act and the motions carried on both action items," he said.

In January 2023, the district announced that Palmisano, who started as a teacher with the district in 1992, planned to step down at the end of the 2024-25 school year, with an official retirement date of Oct. 1, 2025.

According to a district news release at the time, the board gave Graber a four-year contract, with the understanding that he would start as superintendent on July 1, 2025.

"The approved amendments move up the timetable for a planned and previously approved transition," Jackson said in Tuesday's email.

District 45 is not alone in its lack of notice to the public.

In May 2023, the board for Hinsdale High School District 86 decided behind closed doors to suspend the superintendent and select an interim replacement.

A week and a half later, the board ratified in public its earlier secret votes.

Patch filed a complaint with the attorney general's office. The agency decided to investigate, with no resolution yet.

District 45 includes all or parts of Villa Park, Lombard and Oakbrook Terrace.

Why should you hire a gutter cleaning professional?

Consider these points when choosing whether to hire a gutter cleaning professional in the Villa Park area.

Cleaning gutters yourself brings risks, such as falling off your roof or ladder, getting cut on sharp metal, encountering critters and pests, and even shocking yourself on nearby power lines.

Gutter cleaning professionals have the tools to complete the job safely and efficiently, giving you confidence the work is being done correctly. They might also be able to detect overlooked problems or potential issues.

Gutter guards help block debris and pests from clogging gutters, preventing the potential for water damage. They reduce the frequency with which you need to clean your gutters, but even the best gutter guards can’t keep all the grime out.

Various kinds of gutter guards exist, each with unique cleaning requirements. A gutter cleaning pro can take out, clean up and replace your guards with ease while cleaning your gutters.

How often should your gutters be cleaned?

Gutter cleaning frequency depends on whether you have gutter guards and which type. Most gutter guards require annual or biannual cleaning. Micro-mesh gutter guards may need cleaning every two-plus years.

Weather conditions also affect how often your gutters require cleaning. Although Villa Park is outside the highest tornado risk areas in the country, it can still experience extreme weather, which can carry additional debris to your gutter system. Because of this, it's important to remain vigilant, especially during tornado season, to ensure that your gutters are draining properly.

With pine trees close to your house, remove needles every three months to reduce the potential for clogging. Consider purchasing pine-needle-friendly gutter guards if your property gets a lot of pine debris.

How much does gutter cleaning cost in Villa Park?

How much your gutter cleaning will cost in Villa Park is influenced by various factors, but there are ways to reduce the cost of the service.

Your gutter cleaning price is calculated based on your home size, number of stories, the current state of your gutters, gutter layout and how easily accessible they are. Gutter cleaning companies generally determine cost based on your gutters' size in linear feet. Additionally, not routinely clearing out your gutters could lead to extra fees per foot depending on debris accumulation.

You can save money on gutter cleaning in Villa Park by following these tips:

Gov. Pritzker Highlights Childcare Efforts in Villa Park, Champaign

FY24 Early Childhood Grants will expand childcare access for families across Illinois

VILLA PARK, CHAMPAIGN— Governor JB Pritzker joined local leaders and early childhood stakeholders at two daycare facilities on Friday to highlight recent efforts and funding for the Smart Start Illinois Plan. In Villa Park, the Governor visited Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley to celebrate the $300K investment in Birth to Five Illinois funding, which will support the consolidation of their local early childhood services. In Champaign, the Governor stopped at First United Methodist Child Care Center, where he highlighted the $3M of Smart Start Childcare funding. Both contributions come from the Illinois Department of Human Services.

“For far too long, child care has been either unavailable, unaffordable, or both,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “Smart Start’s nation-leading investments ensure that parents can access this vital resource alongside other essential supports to give their children the tools to succeed as early as possible.”

“We know that 90% of a child’s brain has developed by age five. Smart Start is ensuring every child in Illinois has the very best start in life,” said Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton. “By providing support for our youngest Illinoisans and the people who care for them, we are laying the foundation for a thriving society and a thriving Illinois.”

The Smart Start Illinois Plan consists of three major initiatives:

Fiscal support for these initiatives focuses most prominently on the FY24 Early Childhood Block Grant Program, which will see a $75M increase per year for four years to eliminate early childhood education deserts by 2027, and the first-in-the-nation Smart Start Childcare Workforce Grants, providing $130M to increase childcare worker wages. In FY24 to date, 4,139 childcare programs have received a total investment of over $147K. These funds have impacted over 30,000 childcare workers and 166,000 children.

Easterseals Dupage & Fox Valley works to build inclusive communities with advocacy so every child can have access to services and opportunities for healthy development. Through providing therapy services to more than 2,901 local families, the organization ensures empowerment for children dealing with autism, developmental delays or other disabilities.

First United Methodist Child Care Center (FUMCCC) is licensed by DCFS, and serves approximately 100 families in Urbana, Champaign, and surrounding areas. Through Creative Curriculum, FUMCCC responds to children’s individual needs and provide teacher-directed activities and child-initiated activities to create a welcoming and enriching environment.

“For too long, working parents have felt an undeniable weight on their shoulders trying to pay for scarce or nonexistent childcare services, ” said Rep. Carol Ammons (D-Urbana). “With Smart Start, we’re extending groundbreaking care — because, simply, no child should be left behind, no matter their background. By implementing meaningful measures such as Smart Start, we’re ensuring that every child has a chance to succeed and that they’re granted these opportunities starting at a young age.”

“In championing Smart Start Illinois, we declare that the wellbeing of our children is a non-negotiable priority,” said Senator Paul Faraci (D-Champaign). “This multi-year initiative reflects our dedication to creating an Illinois where every child gets the opportunity to have a proper education.”

“Over and over, we’ve seen that early childhood education is the best possible investment we can make,” said Rep. Terra Costa Howard (D-Glen Ellyn). “With Smart Start, we are making real progress toward our vision of making high-quality early childhood programs accessible to every child in Illinois. I’m very proud of the work that we’re doing to put Illinois children on the path to successful adulthood.”

“Every family should be able to give their child the foundation of a great early childhood education,” said Rep. Diane Blair-Sherlock (D-Villa Park). “By expanding these support systems for both children and care providers Smart Start creates progress for all Illinoisians.”

“If we want our children to unlock their full potential, we have to prioritize investment in early childhood education so that we can create a strong foundation for them,” said Rep. Jenn Ladisch Douglass (D-Elmhurst). “Smart Start is strengthening our early childhood network, increasing access for families and better positioning our communities for the future. I’m excited to see its continuing positive impact on Illinois families.”

“The investment laid out to expand early childhood education continues us on a path that makes quality learning more accessible and closes equity gaps across the state,” said Senator Laura Ellman (D-Naperville). “This initiative offers new services, uplifts childcare workers, and creates enhanced school programs to give families confidence in choosing Illinois schools to educate their children.”

“Smart Start Illinois is our continued investment for the next generation of Illinoisans,” said State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton (D-Western Springs). “This funding bolsters our education workforce, childhood development and ensures every child in our community has access to a high quality learning environment.”

“It’s time to prioritize our future generations — because building a brighter tomorrow starts with quality care today. With Smart Start, our investment in affordable, accessible childcare and strengthened funding for early education lays the groundwork for a more equitable and prosperous future for all students,” said Rep. Maura Hirschauer (D-Batavia). “This investment aligns the state with one of the best early childhood education systems in the nation and empowers every student to thrive from the very beginning.”
