OPPrairie.com news the orland park prairie | May 2, 2019 | 3 Community continues to show family support after death of second child Bill Jones, Editor The community is showing its support to a mother who recently lost her second child to a genetic disorder that can lead to heart and liver problems. Adrian N. Boruc, a sixth-grader at Century Jr. High School, died April 19 at age 11. “It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing our beloved Wildcat, Adrian Boruc,” Century Jr. High posted to social media. “During his time at Century, Adrian touched the lives of all those who knew him. Adrian will forever be remembered for his caring smile, kind heart and positive attitude. He will be dearly missed.” The post noted members of the school and district counseling department were to be on-site throughout the week to help students and staff, as needed. “The kids have been really resilient,” Principal Brian Horn said. “We’re really using it as a time to share [Adrian’s] memory.” Horn noted the school’s spring fundraiser led to a direct donation of $7,500 to the family. Students had written cards, made videos, and shared messages of love and support with Adrian, Horn said, Since Adrian’s death, families have placed red ribbons on trees and students have been wearing red bracelets in his memory, as it was his favorite color. Students also made memory hearts, which were presented to Adrian’s mother, Aggie, and were on display during his funeral services, Horn said. “Adrian was the type of kid that everyone knew,” Horn explained. “He was a little guy but a fighter.” Horn added that because he was born with Alagille syndrome, he was not shy sharing experiences with other students, and that had the power to help them with things they might be going through. “Adrian will be remembered forever and always in our hearts, Horn said. The Orland Park Prairie wrote about Buroc’s complications from Alagille syndrome and fundraiser to support the family in late March, and in the wake of the death, the GoFundMe designed to support his family has reached more than $34,000 as of press time. Denise Manning, a close friend of the family who has run the page, confirmed the news in an update. “Adrian’s time on this earth may have been short, but it was full of fun, friends, adventures, just the right amount of sass and spunk and overflowing love,” Manning wrote. “Adrian May have been small in stature, but Orland firefighters battle two blazes within an hour on Easter No one injured, but fires present added complications Bill Jones, Editor Adrian Boruc No one was injured, but firefighters were presented with numerous complications in two fires that occurred within an hour of one another on Easter Sunday. The first call came in around 5 p.m. April 21, when the Orland Fire Protection District responded to a house fire near 143rd Street and 80th Avenue, according to a press release issued the following From April 22 day by district spokesperson Ray Hanania. There, firefighters reportedly found a “small,” one-story abandoned home in a wooded area “fully involved” by smoke and fire. But it was in a wooded area with limited access to water, as it was set back more than 1,000 feet, according to Hanania. Additional firefighters reportedly arrived and established additional water supplies by accessing fire hydrants on Chateau Court. But ComEd also had to be called to assist, as a live power line near the back of the home was damaged and fell to the ground close to the property, causing safety concerns for firefighters, Hanania said. Firefighters reportedly battled the blaze while ComEd cut power to the downed line. The fire was under control within 45 minutes of the initial call, and the cause is still under investigation, according to the press release. But around 6 p.m., a second fire was reported in the 15700 block of Chesterfield Lane while firefighters were still working at the site of the first. Mutual aid arrived from nearby communities to support additional available OFPD units, finding a dryer the apparent cause of a townhome fire. The dryer was extinguished and removed from the home, according to Hanania. Orland was assisted by Palos Fire Protection District and Tinley Park Fire Department in the first blaze. Crestwood, Country Club Hills and Tinley Park fire departments helped with the second.
