Orland Township<br />

Hills, Orland Park (east of<br />

Will Cook Road and south<br />

(west of Harlem and north<br />

of 183rd Street) and unincorporated<br />

Orland Park.<br />

Anyone six months of age<br />

and older should get a flu<br />

for some people to<br />

get vaccinated. These people<br />

include those who are<br />

And while Zach said he<br />

had great Scout leaders<br />

and mentors throughout the<br />

years — including Dawn<br />

Michalek, Michelle Moos<br />

and Fred Fleischmann — he<br />

admitted there was occasional<br />

doubt as to whether<br />

he would reach Eagle Scout.<br />

“There was [doubt] because<br />

of the time associated<br />

with being in Scouts,” he<br />

said. “It was really just the<br />

time conflicting with other<br />

things. I swim and play<br />

water polo at Andrew, so I<br />

need to balance those with<br />

Boy Scouts.”<br />

Even though he anticipates<br />

receiving the rank of<br />

Eagle Scout by the end of<br />

the year — his project still<br />

needs to get final approval<br />

of a roof drain ($16,430),<br />

new computer equipment<br />

($34,425) and improvements<br />

to the women’s locker<br />

room ($100,000).<br />

Replacing the locker<br />

room doors is a major goal<br />

for the staff, according to<br />

McCarthy.<br />

“Replacing the locker<br />

room doors, from the pool to<br />

the locker rooms, is the first<br />

step in getting that place<br />

under control, environmentally,”<br />

McCarthy said. “The<br />

doors are propped open<br />

constantly, because with<br />

the senior citizens there<br />

[have] many wheelchairs<br />

and walkers. As a result, the<br />

at high risk of developing<br />

complications like pneumonia<br />

if they catch the flu.<br />

These high-risk individuals<br />

include the following.<br />

• Those with medical<br />

condition like asthma, diabetes<br />

and chronic lung disease<br />

or those who live with<br />

or care for individuals with<br />

these medical conditions<br />

• Pregnant women<br />

• People 65 years and older<br />

from the Eagle Scout review<br />

board — Zach has no intention<br />

of stopping the balancing<br />

act. He said he would<br />

like to remain in Troop 911<br />

until his 18 birthday and<br />

then serve as a mentor to the<br />

younger Scouts.<br />

“Scouting has given me<br />

so much,” he said. “I really<br />

want to stay involved in the<br />

troop and help others.”<br />

Dectron, [the indoor pool<br />

dehumidifier], is working<br />

overtime to dehumidify the<br />

locker rooms when it has its<br />

own HVAC. It also causes<br />

deterioration in the locker<br />

rooms, due to the humidity<br />

and the chlorine.”<br />

La Margo said an open<br />

house at the center Oct. 5<br />

led to 49 new members.<br />

Goals for fiscal year 2017<br />

include increasing overall<br />

utilization to 266,000 annual<br />

visits and memberships to<br />

3,859. Another goal will be<br />

the redesign and rebranding<br />

of the health center’s website<br />

and marketing materials.
