Mother Nature contributed to Montini Catholic’s annual end of the year cookout on Thursday and Friday, May 11 and 12 by making sure the weather was nothing less than perfect!

DuPage Foundation to manage $17 million foundation Gustafson family makes landmark investment

In a move that bonds two area grant-makers working to ensure that DuPage children are ready for kindergarten, the Gustafson Family Foundation (GFF) of Woodridge voted on Monday, June 5, to transfer its nearly $17 million private foundation to the DuPage Foundation (DF) to establish a donor-advised fund through which GFF will continue its grant-making going forward.

GFF is forging this partnership with DF to create a sustainable platform from which to operate at a lower cost, eliminate its administrative operating burdens and provide more tax benefits for contributors .

“There were many reasons that compelled us to partner with the DuPage Foundation in this way“Beyond the financial advantages, “We want to ensure that the Gustafson Family Foundation has a succession plan to continue its legacy of giving created by my parents,” said Allen Gustafson, president of the GFF. “This way, no matter

which family members and trusted advisors are involved with GFF at any given time, we will have the continuity of the DuPage Foundation helping ensure our continued impact and success.”

“The Gustafson Family Foundation demonstrated its faith in our ability to help transform the lives of vulnerable youth in DuPage when it invested in our Bright & Early DuPage initiative,” said Dave McGowan, president and CEO of the DuPage Foundation.

It can be visually jarring when the line between the two upper front teeth is by not consistent midline of Jeffreywith T. the Boland theLicensed face. ToOrthodontic find the midline of your Specialist face, locate the halfway point between the pupils of your eyes. Then, draw an imaginary line downward. The dividing line between the two central incisors should fall on this line. Failure to do so poses no significance physiologically, but an extreme variation may detract from personal appearance. If so, orthodontic therapy can correct the condition. In some severe cases, surgery may also be called into play as part of the treatment. Believe it or not, Tom Cruise underwent orthodontic treatment years ago to correct this very problem.

Orthodontics can help straighten your teeth and give you an appealing smile. It also can greatly contribute to the health of your jaw, teeth and sometimes your overall health. To schedule a free consultation, please call our office. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the condition or care of your appliances, please call! We would rather that you feel comfortable and assured that all is under control. Straighter Smiles Are Our Specialty!

P.S. It may be misleading to use the nose to reference the midline of the face because nearly all of us have noses that deviate to one side or the other.

demic achievement of our students and the many awards earned in our extracurricular programs!”

Students of Montini Catholic’s class of 2017 have been offered close to $14 million in academic scholarships.

“This year we recognized one National Merit commended scholar and one National Merit Finalist, four Advanced Placement (AP) Scholars, one AP Scholar with Honors and one with Distinction and twenty-two Illinois State Scholars,” Segredo said.

Valedictorian Brandon Sakas gave

a heartfelt address to his fellow students followed by a call to worship on what was the Sixth Sunday of Easter. Salutatorian Mary O’Brien also took part in the Mass celebration as a reader. Following the Mass, commencement exercises began with a meditation/performance of “Like An Eagle” by Montini’s Chamber and Varsity Choirs. Senior members left their seats and joined their peers for one last performance together.

“This has been a very special class for me,” said Principal Mary-

ann. “O’Neill (who has two grand children graduating this year). “You have fulfilled all your goals you set in your freshman year - to grow in faith, to get good grades, to get involved and to get to know everyone in your class. You are role models - you have earned the right to celebrate.”

“We wish our Class of 2017 - our newest alumni - great success as they start the next chapter of their lives,” added Segredo. “They will always be members of our Montini Catholic family!”

Be aware of ticks while outdoors Warmer weather is here and as you make plans to be outdoors, be sure to take steps to guard against ticks. Ticks are a threat year-round, but they are more active in warmer months—especially April through September.

Ticks live in and near wooded areas, tall grass and weeds, and where the ground is covered with leaves.

Ticks can carry Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

To protect against tick bites and the diseases they can spread, take these steps: • Keep your grass mowed and control weeds around your home.

• Remove leaf litter.

• Clear tall grasses and brush around your home and at the edge of your lawn.

• Wear a white or light-colored long-sleeved shirt and long pants tucked into your socks or boots when you’re outdoors.

• Wear a hat or head covering for added protection.

• Check for ticks on your clothing often.

• Apply insect repellent containing DEET to

your clothes and exposed skin (except the face and hands).

• Walk in the center of trails to avoid leaf litter and tall grass.

• Bathe or shower as soon as possible after coming indoors (preferably within two hours) to wash off and more easily find ticks that are crawling on you.

Check for ticks on children, pets and yourself when returning from outdoors. If you find a tick, remove it right away by using fine-point tweezers to gently pull it straight out.

After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water.

Ticks can spread diseases that may cause serious illness and death. If you have a rash, or become sick with a fever after a tick bite, it’s important to see a doctor.

DuPage County residents with questions about ticks may call the Health Department at (630) 6827400. More information is available on tick-borne diseases and prevention at cdc.gov/ticks/.

Montini Catholic students look forward to summer opportunity While all Montini Catholic students are busy preparing for the end of the school year while looking forward to summer activities, some are planning for a summer of service and their annual team-up with Habitat for Humanity. This year, under the leadership of Campus Minister Michael Blanchette and teacher Denis Block, a Bronco team will be traveling to Winona, Minn., on July 11-15 to aid in the building of homes for families in need.

“Students who take part in our Habitat for Humanity trips are a unique group,” said President Jim Segredo.

Eight students spent their Spring Break on the Campus Ministry-sponsored Habitat for Humanity trip to Logan, Ohio. They were

“

Students who take part in our Habitat for Humanity trips are a unique group.”

–President Jim Segredo

Marissa King, Ben Kirch, Yousuf Mitchell, Emeka Nkuku, Jake Oostdyk, Justin Stauder, Marissa VanDeVeer, and Mark Zheng.

Block is humbled by the drive and dedication of his students.

“Logan is the largest city in Hocking County, yet only has a population of 7,000,” said Block. “Our students worked at two different

build sites and worked two mornings packing boxes of food at the local food bank.”

Block and the team were accompanied by teacher Hilda Castor on the Spring Break venture.

“The day after we arrived, our group worked at a site in Caldwell, Ohio,” he said. “A foundation was already laid and our group’s task was to dig a trench for draining pipe, then to seal the foundation with tar.

After that painstaking day, the work was easier as the week went on.”

The next day the Montini group traveled to a second build site.

“Our task was to mount siding around the house as well as accomplish some tasks on the inside,” Block said. “The contractors were great and the people of the town

were incredibly hospitable. Even though we were rained out a day and a half, we were able to mount siding on about 75% of the home.”

When storms arrived and made it impossible for them to continue their work, they traveled to a local food bank to pack boxes of food for those in need.

During their downtime, Block, Castor and the students were able to explore huge caves and waterfalls in the area.

“They enjoyed playing games, doing homework, and simply enjoying the company of one another,” he said. “We were very fortunate to be able to stay at The Bowen House, a very unique 186 year old home.”

The Bowen House was first built in 1831 (40 years before the Great

Chicago Fire). It serves as a community center offering various activities for the townspeople. Block and his team had their own private space on the home’s second floor.

“It was an amazing experience,” said Block. “Montini is very excited to build a new relationship with Southeast Ohio Habitat for Humanity.”

Students at Montini Catholic have been participating Habitat for Humanity during spring break since 2004.

“Montini Catholic is proud to participate with such a wonderful organization that makes a difference in people’s lives,” Blanchette said.

“We are so grateful to our students who give up their own time to help others.”

New ways to safeguard skin year-round (StatePoint) A day outdoors can be enjoyable, but keep in mind that this UV exposure can take its toll on skin health.

Researchers are identifying new potential ways to promote skin health from the inside out -- before, during and after you spend time outdoors.

“Maintaining healthy DNA function safeguards your skin before and after spending time outdoors,” says Dr. Michael A. Smith, MD. According to Dr. Smith, researchers have confirmed that nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3, plays a significant role in producing Adenosine Tri-phosphate (ATP), the molecule that fuels all your cells and powers their intracellular machinery.

By doing so, it also facilitates healthy DNA function. This is especially important as UV exposure can affect production of ATP in skin cells, sapping those cells of the energy needed for their protective mechanisms to function properly.

Dr. Smith points out that as one ages, skin loses some of its natural defense mechanisms, however, nicotinamide has been shown to support the natural immune response needed to safeguard against the age-related effects of UV exposure.

Nicotinamide is found in dairy milk, yeast and beer, but to be sure to get your daily dose of nicotinamide, consider an oral supplement, such as Life Extension Shade Factor. Formulated to nourish skin from within the body, it provides 500 mg of vitamin B3. It also contains an extract that helps manage cellular changes in the body that can lead to premature aging from outdoor

activity and promotes healthy DNA function, as well as Red Orange Complex, which supports the body’s natural immune response. More information can be found at shadefactorsupp. com.

According to Dr. Smith, this product is not a substitute for

topical sunscreens.

If you love the great outdoors, there is no need to give up your favorite hobbies, even as you age and your skin becomes more sensitive. New research suggests an inside out approach may be an effective way to help safeguard your body’s largest organ.

Slices of life

Hitting the sauce

I’ve always been a saucy type. It probably started with ketchup – my first encounter with sauce when I was just a tiny tator tot of a girl. Almost everyone has some sort of experience with ketchup. Many of us have a long-term ongoing relationship and find it hard to imagine life without ketchup. My husband is a spreader. I am a dipper.

What started with ketchup grew and expanded to various flavors and varieties of thickened liquids called by different names – condiments, gravies, dips, salsas, dressings, syrups, pestos and alfredos – but at their essence each one a sauce of some sort.

Savory or sweet, thick or thin, white or red, cheesy or creamy, hot or cold – I loved them all. Or at least nearly all. What’s not to love? Sauces themselves are created for the sole purpose of enhancing a dish. Whether

a name for a cook specializing in the practice: saucier. It’s an art. The French, especially, are known for their love of sauces – Hollandaise, remoulade and Bechamel to name a few. But the French aren’t the only ones saucing it up. Sauces are an essential element of nearly every cuisine worldwide – from chimichurri in Argentina to sriracha in Thailand and everywhere in between. The world would be lost without sauce.

I’m not a chef, but I do dabble in sauces. When you love something like I love eating it makes sense to know how to concoct a few sauces yourself. I toss, stir and whisk together gravy, salad dressing and condiments a plenty. I even do the roux.

Once you break sauces down into a list of simple ingredients, (and most are fairly simple) they aren’t so intimidating.

By

JILL PERTLER Contributor

it’s bread or pasta or a burger or fries – just about everything is better when accompanied by some type of sauce.

Historically, it’s the reason they were created – not to make good food great, but to mask the less-than-perfect flavor of food on the verge of going bad. This was back in the days before refrigerators were a common household item.

Professional chefs study for years to perfect their sauces. There’s even

Gravy is just thickened meat, chicken or vegetable stock seasoned to your liking. Combine mayonnaise and dill pickle relish and you’ve got tartar. Take that same mayo, add sweet relish, ketchup and vinegar and you’ve got thousand island dressing.

Ketchup, mayo and horseradish make a mean cocktail sauce for shrimp.

Ketchup, brown sugar and little yellow mustard create a basic barbecue sauce. Ketchup and just about anything makes something else. You can take it from there.

Whisk together olive oil with vinegar (you choose the flavor), salt and pepper for a basic salad dressing.

Mayo with avocado is the simplest of guacamoles. Add onion, lemon juice and/or salsa to kick it up a notch. Speaking of salsa, all you need is tomatoes, peppers (jalepeno and/ or bell), onion, lime juice and your

choice of seasonings (salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic, cilantro). Four ingredients plus seasonings isn’t too bad for homemade salsa. The freshness factor itself is worth the time it takes to chop those tomatoes.

Sauces elicit creativity. They are bolstered by it and food is bolstered by them. It’s a win-win situation.

Your pastas, burgers, enchiladas, potatoes, salads, broccoli as well as the good folks sitting around your dinner table – will all benefit from your awesome sauce.

So go for it. Who knows? Some day you may be like me – the boss of sauce. Wink.

In my opinion

An unplanned visit to local quirky tourist attraction was surprisingly inspirational

Our most recent vacation did not take us to the mountains, but instead to the hills of southwestern Wisconsin.

Spring is spectacular for the sights; wildflowers everywhere, the trees bursting with bright new greenery,

and the temps mild and pleasant. We explored and delighted upon each new vista. “It’s so pretty,” my oft-repeated phrase.

When the cool rain kept us from hiking in the woods and bluffs or taking

the kayaks out on the lakes, we opted to take in The House on the Rock.

Midwesterners may be familiar with the oddity that became a tourist attraction and I had been there as a kid but didn’t remember it.

My Prince and I knew that it was more than a house built out on the jutting rock, an architectural marvel.

It also is home to the now-deceased owner’s eclectic collections. I assumed we were entering a tacky tourist rip-off so my expectations were nil. That’s the way to travel through life: expect a little bit of weirdness and be happily surprised at all the lovely that accompanies it too.

I’m glad we had the rainy day so now I know for myself that The House on the Rock is worth a visit. The house is peculiar (and dark) (and portions have low ceilings), but the fact that it exists at all is, in my professional jargon, way cool.

Imagine the scene in 1945 before the house existed: a tall bluff rock surrounded by pines and valley. The view is breathtaking and wanting to live there makes perfect sense. Building a house there? That takes a bit of crazy.

The owner, Alex Jordan, was that kind of crazy. He had been fascinated with architecture and gadgets his whole life and this house is a testament to that. I love when people take their passions and turn them into reality.

When he discovered that he couldn’t keep curious strangers away from his project, he decided to charge admission. Fifty cents. Those funds fueled the continual additions that continued until his death at age 75 in 1989. A man named Art Donaldson, a friend of Alex who shared his vision, bought the property and has turned it into the mega-complex it is today.

Alex supposedly only stayed in the house for four nights, so it was never his home. He kept a modest apartment, but The House on the Rock was the playground for his imagination.

The man was an avid collector. Carousel horses. Guns. Doll houses. Circus toys. The tour encompasses room after room after room of stuff. One section is a recreation of an old Victorian town, something like Walt Disney

might create but Alex did it all indoors.

Dropping tokens into the huge calliope made me grin like a little kid.

There were several mammoth musical attractions, old school automatron kind of things but delightfully charming. The chandeliers, the world’s largest carousel, the cars, the Japanese Gardens (which were actually outdoors), I found it all surprisingly lovely.

But don’t take my word. If you go (to any tourist attraction), do not read the hype stating how glorious it is and do not read the negative reviews telling how trashy it is. Go with a very neutral attitude and decide for yourself.

This particular place I would describe as an oddity, eclectic, eccentric, and yet somehow the man’s sense of wonder and joy came through. I read that Alex Jordan was “a complex and creative man filled with boundless energy.” That is evident.

One report stated, “He never grew old in his imagination and he continued to create every day of his life.” That is a wonderful legacy. Somehow among all the random massive collections and curiosities, a warm spirit of passion and creativity permeates. That is what I took away anyway. You may think it’s kooky, quirky, and offbeat. It is, and it’s also inspirational. Locals might have thought he was off his rocker, but the place has not fallen off the rock.

One unconventional man created a whimsical place. Take your oddball ideas and do something with them.

You might even be able to charge visitors fifty cents.

Salt Creek Ballet brings orchestra outreach to Stone School On June 1, Salt Creek Ballet (SCB) brought its Orchestra Outreach program to Stone School.

SCB’s Community Engagement Coordinator Kelly Stokes is a familiar face at Stone School, as she works each spring with the 2nd grade students on a singing and dancing into Literacy program.

This is the second year she has brought the Orchestra Outreach program to Stone, presenting two separate workshops—one for 2nd and 3rd graders and one for 4th and 5th graders. Cellist Sara Sitzer and French horn player Kelly Langenberg joined Stokes to talk to the students about their instruments and music.

The musicians played the Toreador’s March from the opera “Carmen,” and explained how the instruments can be played in different ways to help tell a story. They then took ideas and suggestions from the students and improvised a piece of music to create a new musical story.

The final portion of the program had Stokes teaching the students choreography to go with another wellknown “Carmen” piece, Habenera.

A small group of students had the opportunity to perform the finished dance for their classmates before the program concluded with a question and answer period.

These students from Lincoln School show their display created for the school’s Land of Lincoln exhibit. It shows several interesting facts about the state of Illinois.

These boys get in the spirit of the dance when Salt Creek Ballet brought its Orchestra Outreach program to Stone School.

This Lincoln 4th grader talks about his gallery entry to the school’s Land of Lincoln project. Students created art projects and then talked about them during the exhibition.

Lincoln 4th graders create Land of Lincoln gallery Lincoln School 4th grade students concluded a “Land of Lincoln” project by creating a gallery of displays that students, staff, and parents visited on Wednesday, May 31. The project was both literacy and social studies based, focusing on the state of Illinois.

Teachers Gabriella Savaglio, Rachel Anderson and Amy Hassel collaborated to create the cross-curricular unit, using $1500 in grant money from the Addison School District 4 Education Foundation to purchase Illinois-related materials for various reading levels.

The students also had the opportunity to take a Wendella boat field trip to learn more about the city of Chicago. Teams of students worked together to create displays illustrating some of the information they’d learned through their studies and they shared that information visitors who came to hear their presentations.

These young ladies from Stone School gather around a member of the Salt Creek Ballet company who taught a new song.

Quartet of Addison Trail softball players named all-conference Blazers win playoff opener in dramatic fashion

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Addison Trail softball team received good postseason news times four recently.

The Blazers placed four players on the all-West Suburban Conference Gold Division team. Those earning recognition included Marie Baumgartner, Alyssa Pham, Ally Polhad and Vincenza Zaccaro.

“Getting four players on the all-conference team was nice,” said

Addison Trail coach Mark Olson.

Addison Trail finished the year 14-19 overall and went 6-6 in the WSC Gold.

“A 6-6 record in the conference is not disappointing,” said Olson.

“We were happy. We were really competitive the second time through the conference. We beat Hinsdale Central, we beat Willowbrook and played competitive against Downers Grove South. Getting to six wins was important for all-conference

Willowbrook boys volleyball players honored on and off the court

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Members of the Willowbrook boys volleyball team recently were honored for their efforts on and off the court.

Calvin Linnig was named to the all-West Suburban Conference Gold Division team.

Linnig also was one of four seniors that earned all-WSC academic honors along with Peter Alessandri, Andy Shreckengost and Brendan Waldorf.

Coach Ryan Bazon noted all four Willowbrook seniors on the roster earned the academic accolades.

Willowbrook finished the 2017 season with a 16-21 overall mark and a 1-5 record in WSC Gold Division action.

“We played better than our record portrays,” said Bazon.

Willowbrook dropped a 26-24, 20-25, 25-21 contest to St. Francis in the quarterfinals of the West Aurora regional.

Earlier, the Warriors went 2-3 at its own Willowbrook Warrior invitational. Willowbrook defeated Leyden 25-17, 25-15 and also defeated Joliet Catholic by a 25-22, 25-17 count. The Warriors dropped a three-set match to Hinsdale Central (25-14, 21-25, 1614), lost to Riverside-Brookfield (25-18, 26-24) and lost to West Aurora (25-21, 25-23). Hinsdale Central was a No. 1 sectional seed, while R-B was a No. 3 sectional seed and West Aurora was a No. 4 sectional seed.

“We played very well at our invite,” said Bazon. “I thought our kids played with enthusiasm and heart. We played Hinsdale Central to three games and even led 14-9 in the third game. I thought outblocking was fantastic and communication on the court led to a wellrounded game. Unfortunately, their outside hitter was too strong in the end and we dropped the third game 16-14. Also we played very well against Riverside-Brookfield, which ended up beating Hinsdale in the finals of the tourney. I felt this was a great tournament.”

Through the end of the season, Tim Keefe was leading the team in kills with 172. Waldorf had 112 kills and a 27.92 kill percentage.

Alessandri was the team leader in blocks with 71, while Keefe was tops in aces with 21. Buddy Martens was tops in digs with 215, while Linnig was leading the team in assists with 305.

Bazon felt the entire program took another step forward this season.

“I thought the season was very successful on all levels,” he said.

“Our program ended with 67 wins and the future of Willowbrook volleyball looks bright. At the varsity level we had 10 juniors this year and all saw substantial playing time. We should begin next year with more varsity experience and begin to play at a high level right away. This year it took us a few matches to adjust to the speed of the varsity game.”

Bazon also tipped his hat to the senior class.

“I had some great kids this year and I will miss our seniors greatly,” he said.

selections. We beat Morton twice.

I thought we were competitive and did a good job in the conference this year.”

The Blazers won their Class 4A regional quarterfinal game against Elgin Larkin in dramatic fashion by scoring eight runs in the bottom of the seventh to win 10-9.

“It was one of the most unbelievable things I have been part of or been around as a player or coach,” said Olson. “It was pretty incredible.

It was a great story.”

Olson noted Addison Trail was down three runs with two outs in the seventh inning.

“And then the fence blows down and breaks and rips in half,” Olson described. “The umpire told us this story. Marie Baumgartner is in the box talking to herself and saying, ‘I can do this. I can do this.’ She hits

her first career home run to tie it at 9-9.”

Addison Trail then had three straight singles from Sophia Hawkins, Polhad and Pham. Hawkins scored the game-winning run on Pham’s single.

“When we had second and third with two outs and the game was tied 9-9 I told Ally whatever you do stay right on the base,” said Olson. “It was one of the stranger games I’ve been involved with. We slept-walk through things early on. We were hitting it hard but it was right at people and we gave them a few things. And then all of a sudden things clicked.”

Addison Trail was eliminated by St. Charles East in the regional semifinals.

“We made progress throughout the season,” said Olson. “We were a better team from where we began. We

got better from last year to this year.

We had a lot of returning kids back.

Allie and Marie averaged about a walk a game pitching at the end and we weren’t committing as many errors. We were making less than two a game. We also had great chemistry all season. All the girls bought into their roles. It was a great team effort.

The seniors like Jessica Bach, Marie Baumgartner and Gianna Sarli did a great job leading the way. It was a fun year to coach.”

Olson noted Bach played third base for three years, while Baumgartner also was a fixture.

“We know we have some big shoes to fill with losing starters like Jessica, Marie and Alyssa,” he said.

“We had 33 girls out for softball at the varsity and JV levels. We had a good year and we’re looking forward to next year.”

Timothy Christian’s Allen named to Class 2A all-state team

By Mike Miazga

CORRESPONDENT

Timothy Christian junior baseball standout Jimmy Allen was properly rewarded for his play on the field this spring.

Allen recently was named to the Class 2A all-state team put out by the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association. Allen was one of only four juniors to make the all-state team and assistant coach Jim Boven pointed out Allen was one of only four Chicago-area players named to the team.

Allen was a key cog in Timothy Christian winning its first-ever sectional title and coming within one game of playing in the state semifinals in Peoria.

“He had a great year,” said Timothy coach Jim Snoeyink. “He led our team in virtually every offensive category. He struck out seven times all season and his on-base percentage was outstanding.”

Allen batted .459 with 45 hits. Of those 45, hits 23 went for extra bases. Allen also had a .561 on-base percentage.

“More than half his hits were for extra bases,” Snoeyink noted. “He had an outstanding season.”

As did Timothy Christian as a whole, the coach noted.

“We had a good run at the end,” said Snoeyink. “We had a lot of fun.

We got on a roll. Part way through the year we made some defensive changes and that seemed to help. We had so many rainouts and breaks in the

schedule in the beginning of the year.

Once we started playing regularly we started getting in a rhythm. And then we started hitting the heck out of the ball and playing good baseball.”

One of those key defensive changes was swapping catcher Noah Marrera and third baseman Connor Gwaltney on defense. “That sparked us for some reason,” said Snoeyink. “We also started playing Nick Huisman more at first and moved Joey Davidson to second. Those two moves provided a spark for the rest of the season and helped us defensively. We played good baseball after that.”

Timothy defeated St. Joseph 2-1 in the regional championship by scoring two runs in the seventh inning.

The Trojans hit well in the sectional semifinal against Chicago F.W. Parker.

“F.W. Parker had a really good pitcher and we scored eight or nine runs off him. We came out hitting,” said Snoeyink.

Timothy also brought the heavy lumber in the sectional title game against Chicago Holy Trinity. “We jumped out to a quick start and led 7-2,” said Snoeyink.

Of note, Brian Schiff started both sectional games on the mound for the Trojans. “He got a pair of wins.

That’s unusual to start both games of the sectional,” the coach said. “He didn’t pitch a lot during the year, but he got healthy and he won both games.”

Huisman started the regional final

and picked up the win with Allen coming in for the save.

Timothy saw its season end at the hands of conference foe Chicago Christian. It was Timothy’s third loss of the season to Chicago Christian.

“Chicago Christian has good pitching,” said Snoeyink. “We got shut out three times against them. We lost 7-0 in the supersectional and we had two hits. I looked it up, Chicago Christian played 42 games and 27 times gave up zero or one run. You will win a lot of games doing that. It was frustrating because we were hitting so well and only had two hits.”

Allen, Schiff, Marrera and Davidson were named to the all-Metro Suburban Conference Red Division team. “All those guys had great seasons,” said Snoeyink.

Snoeyink is looking forward to next season with numerous players returning. “We have a lot of guys coming back,” he said. “We lost six seniors to graduation and we certainly will miss them. Josh Anderson is one of them and he could have been an all-conference player this year.

He was a four-year starter. We have Nick Huisman back and Jake Loerop pitched outstanding. Jimmy Allen is back. We’re excited about the guys we have coming back. Harrison Stanton is a freshman we brought up and we brought up Noah Marrera’s brother, Trent. We have a lot of guys we are looking forward to seeing next year and it is nice when you have your top three pitchers returning.”

School Board celebrates student council officers The Addison School District 4 Board of Education celebrated the leadership of Student Council officers and sponsors at its regular meeting on Wednesday, May 31. The meeting was held in Addison’s Village Hall in order to accommodate the large crowd of proud parents and family members who were in attendance to see their students’ presentations.

Each school principal introduced their school’s staff members who serve as Student Council sponsors.

The sponsors in turn introduced the students, who used the opportunity to talk about the programs, activities and fundraisers that their organization led and participated in.

After the presentation, Superintendent John Langton and School Board President congratulated the officers, thanked the sponsors, and presented them with pins and tokens of appreciation, before each school group took a photo.

DuPage Foundation unveils web site

The DuPage Foundation has announced the debut of its new website, dupagefoundation.org. Officially launched on June 2, the refreshed and fully-responsive site provides both longtime Foundation constituents and first-time visitors with a plethora of new content at their fingertips in a format that is streamlined and highly accessible.

The website is easily searchable and organized accordingly: • Who We Are • Who We Help • Grants • News & Events • Initiatives During the past year, the Foundation’s Advancement team collaborated with the Marketing Committee and staff to tackle the task of revamping and optimizing the Foundation’s online presence to better serve its constituents.

“The new website is the final phase of our rebranding efforts,” said Michael Sitrick, Foundation vice president for advancement. “What began with the charge of a new name, logo and office space has now culminated with the launch of our new digital presence.”

Lincoln Student Council

Cullerton looks to increase voter participation

Roughly 17 percent of registered voters in DuPage County participated in the April 2017 elections.

State Sen. Tom Cullerton (D-Villa Park) wants to give Illinoisans the opportunity to vote for their school board members alongside candidates for the White House and U.S. Senate under his proposal to fight voter fatigue.

“School board members make important decisions about the future of our children and our property tax dollars, decisions they shouldn’t take lightly and neither should voters,” said Cullerton. “We can’t force people to go out and vote, but we can take steps to make it easier.”

After observing an extreme decrease in voter participation during consolidated elections, Cullerton introduced Senate Bill 441.

In the 23rd State Senate District alone there was a 58 percentage-point drop off in voter turnout in the 2013 consolidated elections compared to 2014 general elections.

“Our children can’t afford for less than 20 percent of our registered voters to elect vital representatives to make crucial decisions concerning their future,” Cullerton said.

SB 441 passed out of the Senate’s Executive Committee unanimously.
