Show your support by visiting http://yourdonationmatters.jdrftype1.com Citizens impatient to replace unpaved streets and plank sidewalks and expand the inadequate sewer system formed a political group to push for improvements and change to a city form of government. An opposing group fought to keep the small town atmosphere, but the choice was made to incorporate Park Ridge as a city in 1910. Under the new form of government, a mayor and aldermen---elected from wards---governed rather than a president and trustees elected at-large. Truck farmers supplied Chicago with vegetables, flowers and spices. Park Ridge was advertised as "A Restoring Place of Health & Vigor, The Recreation Place of the Tired & Worn Out," and became the first suburban stop on the North Western track. An artist’s colony made up of artisans, sculptors, printers and musicians was established. The park system was formed in 1914. The 1920s saw another era of growth. The American Legion, Kiwanis and Lions Clubs were active; Bredemann, Moheisers Clothing Store, Scharringhausen's Drug Store and George's Men's Store were established. (Only the Bredemann Auto Group, now on Dempster Street, is still in business) The Pickwick Theatre, "suburban Chicago's Most Beautiful Theater," was opened in 1928. In the 1930s the WPA (Works Progress Administration) brought men into Park Ridge to repair streets and a WPA mural was painted in the post office at 164 S Prospect, now the School District 64 administration offices. The mural, entitled "Indians Cede the Land," by George Melville Smith, which had been stored by a Park Ridge citizen for 38 years, was returned to the Park Ridge Public Library in 2008. During the post World War II boom (1945-1975) the town experienced an almost complete build-up of homes, predominantly ranch-style houses. O'Hare became a commercial airport in 1956, the new library was dedicated in 1958, and Lutheran General Hospital opened in 1959. The exodus from Chicago in the 1960s and 70s, the construction of new expressways, and the growing number of jobs in the suburbs meant further expansion for the city. The economic depression of the early 1980s put a damper on building, but by the late 1980s the economy had improved and expansion came in the 1990s as smaller, older houses were replaced with new home construction.

He Has been struggling with this disease for nine years already. Diabetes didn’t stop him to practice snowboarding but even gave more strength and confidence in himself. Sean joined JDRF and tries to turn type one into type none. He organized a special social event – T1D for a Day. Sean invites everyone to join him and to experience what it’s like to have T1D for a Day. It’s not easy manage your blood sugar level all the time, but JDRF research team created such new devices, which make diabetics’ lives easier. Receiving text-messages from Sean, everyone can experience what it’s like to be a diabetic and what do T1D people go through every day. The Health Care and Social Assistance sector comprises establishments providing health care and social assistance for individuals. The industries in this sector include physician's offices, hospitals, medical laboratories, nursing homes, and youth and family service centers. JDRF is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. JDRF’s goal is to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people’s lives until we achieve a world without T1D. Type 1 diabetes (Juvenile Diabetes) is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as juvenile diabetes. Only 5% of people with diabetes have this form of the disease. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. The body breaks down the sugars and starches you eat into a simple sugar called glucose, which it uses for energy. Insulin is a hormone that the body needs to get glucose from the bloodstream into the cells of the body. With the help of insulin therapy and other treatments, even young children can learn to manage their condition and live long, healthy lives. 18.2 million people in the United States (6.3 percent of the population) have been diagnosed with diabetes. Multiply the millions of people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) by the hours of sleep lost, finger pricks, insulin injections and pump site changes necessary to manage this disease, and it is clear — T1D takes up too much space in our lives. This November help JDRF raise awareness and educate others on life with T1D.
