By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

On Monday, Oct. 16, the Independent learned that a DuPage County circuit court judge from Wheaton had been stripped of his bench duties after a gun reportedly discharged in his home in mid-September.

Patrick O’Shea, 67, of the 200 block of E. Willow Road in Wheaton, was arrested on a warrant for reckless conduct based on an incident that officials said happened on Sept.

15, when a loaded gun discharged within his residence. Upon his arrest, officials entered his home and reportedly found and seized more guns.

Deputy Police Chief William Murphy who investigated the incident reported that officials believe O’Shea was alone in his residence when the incident took place. Despite it occurring on Sept. 15, the shooting was not reported to law enforcement until Sept. 24.

O’Shea is free after posting bail in the amount of $5,000. His first court appearance is set for Nov. 15.

DuPage Chief Judge Kathryn Creswell reported that the Executive Committee of the DuPage Circuit Court made the decision to strip O’Shea of his duties after he was

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

While attending an Offense-Defense Football Camp this Summer, 10-year-old Colton Gumino of Elmhurst was named an Offense-Defense All-American and invited to participate in the 12th Annual Offense-Defense Bowl Week festivities taking place this December in New Orleans.

Son of Chris and Anne Gumino, Colton has been playing quarterback for the Elmhurst Eagles and was selected for this honor from an outstanding group of thousands of athletes across the country. Colton played well for Elmhurst, easily validating the Bowl Selection Committee’s choice in tabbing him for the All-American tilt.

According to his parents, Colton is a very gifted athlete for just 10 years old.

“Before the season he set up a fundraiser by himself with Lurie’s Children Hospital,” his father Chris said. “For every touchdown he scored, Colton would donate 100% of his savings to the hospital for kids to have new games to play and books to read. Colton gets up at 6 a.m. every Sunday morning to attend local quarterback ‘guru’ Jeff Christensen’s Throw It Deep program for two hours.

charged with the offense, which was a misdemeanor. According to a written statement from Creswell, O’Shea will also forfeit his unrestricted access to court facilities. If he has business in the court house, he will be escorted by deputies.

According to a spokesman from the office of DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin, the case is being handled by the state appellate prosecutor’s office in Springfield.

O’Shea was elected circuit judge in 2012 and has been assigned to the law division since 2014. Prior to that, held a seat on the DuPage County Board from 1999-2012. In 2012, O’Shea’s son was arrested for possession of cocaine.

According to one report, a neighbor living in another unit of the residential building where the incident occurred said they found a hole in the wall of their home. They reportedly suspected it may have been a bullet hole, but did not report it until they actually found the bullet elsewhere in their unit. Investigators were reportedly able to trace the path of the bullet back to O’Shea’s residence.

O’Shea turned over guns to the police upon his arrest.

good grades on top of all the sports.”

According to Chris, Colton has recently been diagnosed with HSP, an immune deficiency condition which required him to spend a couple of days at Lurie’s Children’s Hospital, treating the disease and getting better. Chris said Colton was grateful to the doctors at Lurie’s and especially appreciated the efforts of Nurse Mark for making him more comfortable during his stay.

The Offense-Defense All-American Bowl is the culmination of a week long worth of events. The 12th Annual All-American game is an AllStar football game showcasing 88 of the top high school seniors in the country. In the past, it has featured current NFL pros such as Heisman Trophy winners Lamar Jackson and Cam Newton, as well as Joe Haden, Dez Bryant, and many others before they were collegiate and later professional stars.

Who knows what the future holds for Colton Gumino? But thanks to him, the patients at Lurie’s Children’s Hospital can enjoy brighter days.

School Board Capsules

Here’s what’s going on at School District 205

By Chris Fox

FOR THE ELMHURST. INDEPENDENT

The Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 Board held a meeting on Oct. 10 at the District 205 Center, 162 S. York St. All seven board members attended the meeting.

Sandburg nurse awarded ’Shining Star’ The board presented its Shining Star award to Rosanne Tansor, Sandburg Middle School’s nurse. Sandburg math teacher Nancy Bensfield nominated Tansor for the award.

Bensfield praised Tansor for providing top-notch care to students and staff.

Boys volleyball team recognized The board also recognized York High School’s 2017 boys volleyball team, which was honored as an All-American Academic team by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA). York’s boys volleyball program has received the honor for seven consecutive years. The AVCA honors teams with a gradepoint average of at least 3.3 on a 4.0 scale. The York boys volleyball team members maintained a grade-point average of 3.695 during the 2016-17 school year. The York team, which is coached by Ken Dowdy, was one of only 21 boys teams in the nation, and one of six in Illinois, to receive the award.

District’s ability to prepare students for career paths discussed York Principal Erin DeLuga and Dr. Mark Cohen, the district’s assistant superintendent for innovation and growth, discussed the district’s efforts to provide career pathways to York students. DeLuga discussed

the importance of engaging students in rigorous experiences and giving them the opportunity to take risks, innovate, and fail in order to succeed.

DeLuga also noted the district’s career pathways efforts give students a chance to work with mentors in the community. The district’s plan to create a business incubator lab at York, which would provide space for students to work with mentors, would cost approximately $216,000.

That business incubator lab could potentially be ready for use by the summer of 2019.

Presentation on achievement summary report The meeting also included a presentation from Mariann Lemke, the district’s director of research and program analysis, about the district’s achievement summary report for the 2016-17 school year. The district’s Grade 11 students reportedly had an average total SAT score of 1162 (580 in math and 582 in evidence-based reading and writing) during the 2016-17 school year. About 85 percent of students met the district benchmark for the evidence-based reading and writing portion of the SAT test. About 68 percent of students met the district’s benchmark for the math portion of the test. The previous district benchmark for the ACT was 23. Earlier this year, the Illinois State Board of Education announced it would offer the SAT as the statewide college entrance exam to Grade 11 students attending public high school. The state board administered the ACT to juniors at Illinois public high schools for the previous 15 years.

Lemke noted that about onethird of York students participated in at least one Advanced Placement course during the 2016-17 year.

About 90 percent of those students were able to receive college credit for those Advanced Placement courses. Lemke also reported that York’s graduation rates have held steady at about 95 percent over the last three years.

Board approves Moyer’s goals for 2017-18 Board members voted unanimously during the meeting to approve Superintendent David Moyer’s goals for the 2017-18 school year. After discussions in closed session, the superintendent and the board agreed to the following two goals: 1) facilitate Phase II of the Focus 205 process and complete the final draft of the district’s operational plan; 2) provide oversight and supervision to develop and maintain a system that will support implementation of the board-approved student achievement objectives, middle school task force recommendations, and Focus 205 Phase I findings as indicated in the current draft operational plan.

The board will rate the superintendent’s progress toward attainment of the goals as either satisfactory or unsatisfactory as part of his final evaluation by June 1, 2018.

Moyer addresses concerns of Fischer parents In the superintendent’s communication segment of the meeting, Moyer addressed concerns expressed by district parents at previous meetings.

Those concerns included the lack of crossing guards at Fischer Elementary School and the matter of equity at all district schools. Moyer said he had spoken with the Elmhurst city manager about the crossing guard situation at Fischer. He said the two would follow up their discussion. Moyer said that after he hears from the city the district will put some plans in place and bring forward some ideas.

How can Board assure equity among schools Regarding the issue of equity in district schools, Moyer noted that the recent concerns were mainly related to playgrounds. Some district schools have received donations designated for playground improvements at particular schools. Moyer said that when the district receives donations

earmarked for a certain school, the district is sensitive that other schools have the same opportunities available for their students. Moyer did note that while some schools might have better gymnasiums or libraries than other schools in the district, the district goes to great lengths to ensure that all of its students have the same access to educational programming and instructional support.

District’s membership in ONCC confirmed Board member Kara Caforio noted near the end of the meeting that District 205 has been approved as a member of the O’Hare Noise Compatibility Commission, which includes representatives from several communities and school districts. The district recently received several complaints from parents about overnight flight noise, which has disrupted their children’s sleep and affected their readiness for the school day.

The board will hold its next meeting on Oct. 24.

Park Board Capsules Here’s what’s happening at the Park District

By Chris Fox

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

The Elmhurst Park District Board held a regular meeting on Oct. 10 at the district’s administrative office at 375 W. First Street. All seven board members attended the meeting There were no public comments.

Tax levy resolution approved Board members voted unanimously to approve a tax levy resolution with a $213,000 increase in tax dollars in the aggregate extension and a $30,000 increase in the Special Recreation Fund (SRF). The ordinance levies and assesses the taxes of the district. According to Illinois state law, at least 20 days prior to adopting the ordinance, the park district board must meet and formally determine the estimated amount of money to be

levied in 2017 and extended in 2018.

The tax levy is determined by factors including the Equalized Assessed Value (EAV) of property in the district and the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

According to Christi Jacobson, the district’s director of finance and human resources, the EAV of property within the district increased last year by about 8.6 percent from the prior year, from about $2.047 billion to about $2.223 billion. Total new construction in the district has averaged about $32 million per year in each of the last three years. Total new construction in 2017 is projected at about $32.2 million. The CPI for the 12-month period ending on Dec. 31, 2016 is 2.0 percent.

Jacobson said the proposed tax rate for 2017 is slightly lower than the rate in 2016. She said the owner of a home with an EAV market value of $428,000 would pay about $468 in property taxes to the park district, an increase of about $16 from the previous year. Jacobson said the Elmhurst

Park District accounts for about 5.4 percent of a district homeowner’s total tax bill.

Great Western Prairie Work Day coming Oct 21 Commissioner Kevin Graf stated during the commissioner information items segment that the district will hold a Great Western Prairie Work Day on Saturday, Oct. 21, beginning at 9 a.m. Volunteers are invited to meet at the prairie at the intersection of Berkley Avenue and the Illinois Prairie Path, just west of Spring Road.

Grand re-opening of Plunkett Park set for Nov. 4 Elmhurst Park District Executive Director Jim Rogers noted near the end of the meeting that the district will hold a grand reopening ceremony at the new Plunkett Park playground on Saturday, Nov. 4, at 10 a.m.

The board will hold its next meeting on Oct. 23.

Former State Rep. arrested for alleged retail theft County Stormwater Management operated Sandra Pihos released after posting $1500 bond

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE INDEPENDENT

Late Sunday afternoon, the Independent learned that former Illinois State Representative Sandra Pihos, a Republican from Glen Ellyn, had been arrested by the Lombard Police Department for alleged retail theft on Tuesday, Sept. 26. According to circuit court files, Pihos stands accused of stealing three items of women’s clothing valued at $571 from the Von Maur store located at Yorktown Center, a shopping mall in Lombard.

Pihos was released after posting a $1,500 bond, according to court files.

After serving in the General As-

sembly from 2003 to 2015, Pihos, 71, lost a bid for re-election in the Republican primary. After that, she ran for the Board of Trustees at College of DuPage (C.O.D.), but lost to Elmhurst resident Deanne Mazzochi as well as Frank Napolitano and Charles Bernstein, who had formed the “clean slate candidates,” running jointly for three seats. According to the Election Commission, Pihos lost by less than 1 percentage point — fewer than 2,000 votes.

During her time in office, Pihos was appointed to serve on several committees, including the Consumer Protection Committee. Additionally, Pihos was named Illinois Legislator of the Year four times by the Western DuPage Special Recreation Association.

Pihos is scheduled to appear at 9 a.m. Nov. 3 at the DuPage County Courthouse in Wheaton.

Flood Control Facilities last Saturday DuPage County Stormwater Management was operating the Elmhurst Quarry Flood Control and Spring Creek Reservoir in Bloomingdale on Salt Creek following precipitation throughout the area which began early Saturday, Oct. 14.

County received rainfall totals ranging from 2.5 inches to up to 5 inches throughout the day on Saturday.

The National Weather Service was forecasting an additional 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rainfall through early Sunday.

The rainfall triggered operation of the Elmhurst Quarry and Spring Creek Reservoir, as well as several of the County’s smaller gravity-operated facilities.

Flood forecasts indicated the remaining larger facilities, including the Wood Dale-Itasca Reservoir, Armstrong Park Reservoirs in Carol Stream and Fawell Dam in Naperville, would go into operation later Saturday as needed.

DuPage County Stormwater Management staff

continued to monitor stream elevations throughout the rain event and provided updates as they became available. Residents were warned that this precipitation could have caused localized and flash flooding, especially in low-lying areas.

Of the 16 flood control facilities DuPage County operates, five larger facilities have mechanical equipment allowing staff to control them according to a predetermined operating plan.

The remaining facilities protect the surrounding areas from flooding without human intervention using fixed weirs and natural drainage systems. In total, the facilities have a floodwater storage capacity of nearly four billion gallons.

Local agencies and residents may visit http:// ec.dupageco.org/dec/stormwater/watershed/index. html for more information about flood control facilities throughout the County, as well as to view rain and stream gauges, forecasts and real-time pictures.

Vision and Learning

A Visual problem can restrict a child’s ability to learn. Because a child typically does not complain of symptoms such as blurry vision or poor eye-hand coordination, it is important for parents to schedule routine eye health examinations for their children. If your child sits close to the TV or holds materials close to read, they may have an underlying visual problem.

Also, if your son or daughter doesn’t like to read, skips lines, or has to use their finger while reading, it may be an indicator of a muscle imbalance.

Please call to schedule an appointment so we can ensure that there is nothing visually that will inhibit their learning ability. We will check the visual system to make sure they see well, use their eyes together correctly, and can focus quickly and accurately at different distances. Visit our website at skowroneyecare.com for more information. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your child’s vision.

How often do we get a Friday the 13th and other queries of how often

October is prime time for superstitions (and horror movies), and with a Friday the 13th falling in this month, I wondered how often we get a Friday the 13th in October. As I typed just the first two words “how often” into Google, the auto filler popped up with these options: How often should you shower How often do snakes shed How often is solar eclipse How often to rotate tires How often should a newborn poop How often to water grass seed How often should I pump How often should you pee How often to change oil How often to wash sheets

You gotta be kidding me. People google how often to shower?? Or how often to wash their sheets? The other queries, and I listed them in the order they appeared, may be legiti-

mate queries. But wow, what a crazy world we live in where we ask our computers/phones what to do as if we don’t know anything about cleanliness or proper hygiene.

To fulfill curiosity, I clicked through to see about showering. The reply in the top box of the next screen reported: “A sedentary person can get away with a shower once, twice or three times a week, especially in winter. It varies on your skin type and what you are doing. If you’re sweaty and dirty, you need a shower, while those with sensitive skins – the elderly and babies – need less show-

ering time.”

Oh my, if you are sweaty and dirty, you need a shower. Thank you, Google! And how often do babies shower? Shouldn’t you be able to stand on your own first?

I’m a sedentary person and I shower daily. There are several articles on the page why you should not cleanse every day. I didn’t click on those because I don’t need my computer to tell me when to shower. Geez Louise.

I skipped down to the last of the list, how often to wash sheets. I wash ours once a week. Good to find out that the general consensus of the internet gurus is indeed once a week.

You can also find videos, if you are so inclined, on how to fold a fitted

model, and use. How often should a newborn poop? That’s a longer answer. The top hit stated, “the normal stool of a breastfed baby is yellow and loose (soft to runny) and may be seedy or curdy. After 4 – 6 weeks, some babies stool less frequently, with stools as infrequent as one every 7-10 days. As long as baby is gaining well, this is normal. Wet diapers: Expect 5-6+ wet diapers every 24 hours.”

And with babies, change those sheets and give them a bath every day. (And when you excuse yourself to the potty, say “I’m gonna go stool now.”)

we were ready for the next dreaded step in the process. We (by we I obviously mean my husband) had to pull the boat to a storage garage and back it into its assigned spot. The door to the storage space is tall. Our pontoon easily fit underneath. That’s the good news.

The other news relates to width.

The difference between our boat and the doorway was about a foot, leaving six-inches of leeway on either side. Six inches is not much when you are moving a 22-foot boat backwards up an upward-sloped driveway. It was like threading a needle, except instead of thread we had a boat that weighed more than a ton.

Luckily we had friends helping us. One told my husband to go right.

The other left. Slowly, slowly he backed his way into the garage. It took some doing, and about 10 minutes of maneuvering (which felt like seven hours) but we got the job done (again, by we I mean my husband).

By the end of it all I was out of breath and sweating. This had been no small feat. We detached the hitch from our SUV to pull the trailer out from under the pontoon and then reattached it again and drove home to drop our friends off before turning right around to return the rented trailer and call it done for the season.

The trailer rental place was a cou-

ple miles down the road. The finish line was in sight. We both breathed a collective (albeit premature) sigh of relief.

Our adventure wasn’t over yet.

Just as we turned from our driveway onto the road we heard a solid thump from behind the vehicle. My husband put his foot on the break.

We exited to find the trailer had unhitched itself, leaving a disconnect between the trailer and SUV. Could the day get any longer?

Before we had the chance to react to our circumstances, fate stepped in. In a good way. A nice bearded man in a pick-up truck came upon us and asked if we needed help (as if that was even in question). The nice man proceeded to help my husband push and prod and lift the trailer so it fit snugly on the hitch ball while I continued to provide the ever-important emotional support.

They got the boat re-hitched and after a couple of profuse and quick thank-yous, the nice man was gone.

We never even got his name. It’s comforting to know that in modern times good Samaritans still exist.

After that, things went without a hitch. We got the trailer returned and have vowed not to think about pontoons or trailers until next spring – when it will be time to complete the whole task in reverse and put the boat back in the water.

Can’t wait.

Fire prevention week open house

PAUL DELGUIDICE PHOTOS Elmhurst Independent

Practice can save lives

The theme of this year’s National Fire Prevention & Safety Week is “Practice your family’s fire escape plan.” At the open house on Sunday, kids (and parents!) got a chance to hear what to do in case of a fire from the experts. Escaping a burning building by the quickest way might include going out a door or a window. “Every Second Counts. Plan Two Ways Out!”

Practicing to be a firefighter

Elmhurst Firefighter Anthony Dames helps his nephew Frankie 2, slide down the fire pole. Kids could try on firefighter gear, hold a real fire hose and learn about what to do in case of a fire. This was part of the open house held for National Fire Prevention & Safety Week at the south fire station on Sunday, Oct. 15.

Tools of the trade

An Elmhurst firefighter shows off some of the tools used in fighting fires, including breathing equipment, axes, saws, the ‘jaws of life’ and infrared viewers (for seeing through smoke). It was all part of the open house event held at the south fire station on Sunday to salute National Fire Prevention & Safety Week.

Serious demonstration

Elmhurst Fire Lt. Bill Solka (with megaphone) tells the Fire Prevention Week open house crowd how first-responders get to work with a cardiac emergency. Working to save the “victim” are Firefighters Vogel and Rizzo and Paramedics White and Fieri. The event was held Sunday, Oct. 15 at the south fire station.

Boy Scouts now allows girls; local troops anxious to welcome them The Boy Scouts of America has announced on October 11 that starting in 2018 they will admit girls into Cub Scouts and in 2019 will add them to Boy Scouts. However, today girls who are at least 10 to 14 years old may join the Elmhurst Exploring Club number 1 right now and prepare themselves for the adventures of Boy Scouts. Exploring Club #1 is part of Elmhurst Scouts, which includes Venturing Crew 711 (which is already co-ed) and Boy Scout Troop 117.

Exploring Club 1 was formed earlier in 2017 by leaders of Troop 117 and Crew 711 and is registered with Pathway to Adventure Council and is part of the Go Exploring initiative. Girls in Exploring Club 1 learn the same scouting skills that Boy Scouts the same age do, just as they will when BSA officially opens to girls in 2019. The Exploring Club participates in most of the activities of Troop 117, including monthly campouts. The hope is that with the recent news that our Elmhurst Exploring girls will be prepared to become among the first girls to earn the

rank of Eagle Scout.

“We applaud the national leaders of Boy Scouts for taking this important step to open the world of Boy Scouts to girls and open new opportunities for adventure and leadership development for them,” said John Lothian, Exploring Club #1 advisor.

Some of the members of Exploring Club 1 are also Girl Scouts, and the opportunities of the club allow them to participate in some of the more adventurous activities that are often not available to them. Exploring club members are encouraged to continue in Girl Scouts and earn the Gold Award if they are motivated to do so.

Girls interested in learning more about Exploring Club #1, or Venturing Crew 711, should contact John Lothian at lothian.john@gmail.com.

Fifteen minutes of fame for Fire Chief Freeman

Elmhurst Fire Chief Thomas Freeman is pictured here being interviewed by one of the local television stations. It took place on Sunday, Oct. 15 at the south fire station during an Open House held for National Fire Prevention & Safety Week.

Nybo appointed to Senate Republican Leadership Team Illinois Senate Republican Leader Bill Brady (R-Bloomington) announced on Thursday that State Senator Chris Nybo (R-Elmhurst) would be joining his leadership team as a Senate Republican Whip.

“It’s my privilege to have Senator Nybo on my leadership team,” said Brady. “Senator Nybo has continually stood up for both his constituents and for the caucus— and he never shies away from a challenge. I look forward to working with him closely in the weeks and months ahead.”

Nybo has represented the 24th District in the Illinois Senate since Aug. of 2014 and previously served in the House of Representatives from 2011 through 2013.

“I want to thank Leader Brady for choosing me to serve on his leadership team and for putting his faith in my ability to help Senate Republicans be an advocate for

Illinois families,” said Nybo. “By combining efforts with Leader Brady’s Senate Republican leadership team, the Republican caucus and our colleagues from across the aisle, we can face the state’s challenges head-on and put Illinois on the right path moving forward.”

In the Senate, Nybo serves as the Minority Spokesperson for the Executive Committee and the Financial Institutions Committee, and he also serves on the Commerce and Development Committee, Energy and Public Utilities Committee, and Gaming Committee. Additionally, Nybo serves on the Sub-committee on Constitutional Amendments, Committee of the Whole, Special Committee on Oversight of Medicaid Managed Care, and the Modes of Transportation for Elementary and Secondary Education Task Force.

This appointment takes effect immediately.

Breen’s bill would halt taxpayer-funded abortion IILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK

A bill has been filed that would remove the taxpayer funding of elective abortions that was included in a controversial measure signed last month by Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner.

State Rep. Peter Breen, R-Lombard, says his bill would remove the public funding of abortions through Medicaid and state employee health insurance, something he thinks a number of lawmakers who voted for HB 40 were opposed to.

“Some of my colleagues have heard privately from Democrats that they did not like having to vote for HB 40. They felt they had to,” Breen said, adding that some may have been misled about other language in the bill that would allow for abortions should Roe v.

Wade be struck down. “I hope that we can

bring forward a majority coalition that would say ‘no taxpayer funding for abortion.’”

Lorie Chaiten, director of the Womens’ and Reproductive Rights Project with ACLU Illinois, said the language recently passed isn’t about forcing anyone to pay for abortions, but offering lower-income Illinoisans the same choice as others who can afford their own coverage.

“This is about making basic, essential health care available for women who choose it,” she said. “The additional cost of pre-natal care, delivery, and public assistance for people who want to terminate their pregnancies is four-to-five times the cost of an abortion under Medicaid. When you deny access to women to this health care, you push them into poverty and you also cost the state more money.”

Breen called Chaiten’s reasoning for the cost neutrality of House Bill 40 “gruesome.”

“It’s a claim that we end the lives of these children and for that reason we don’t have to pay for any immediate medical care,” he said.

Breen is also working with the pro-life non-profit Thomas More Society, which he serves as a special council, to organize a lawsuit challenging how House Bill 40 was brought to Rauner. The bill had passed both houses in May but Democrat Don Harmon, D-Oak Park, held the bill until late September before sending it to the governor.

Breen’s reasoning behind the challenge is based on the date Democrats say the bill was passed by the legislature. If they say that HB40 passed both chambers on May 10, then it’s effective date would be Jan. 1, 2018. But

that also poses a problem because then Rauner would have signed it well after after the Constitutionally-required 60-day limit, even though he signed it days after it was actually put on his desk.

On the other hand, if Democrats say the bill passed both chambers on Sept. 25, when Harmon finally sent it to Rauner, then it cannot be effective until June 1, 2018, the beginning of the state’s new fiscal year.

“The Illinois Constitution says that if you pass a bill, you put it on the governor’s desk in 30 days, and it says [the General Assembly must] get your work done by May 31,” he said. “Both of those principals are being violated here.”

Chaiten said that even if Breen’s lawsuit is successful, it only delays care to women who need it.

Dentist holds second annual Candy Buy-Back event WANTED: Halloween Candy for CA$H Reward

On Thursday, Nov. 2, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Elmhurst Dentistry for Kids will be collecting all unwanted wrapped candy and paying $1 per pound (up to 10 pounds) to donors.

And where does all this candy end up? The office will work with the local Illinois District 5 VFW Auxiliary who help ship all the collected candy to U.S. troops overseas. Help us promote healthy eating and teach the importance of charity to our children.

“No child needs to have a shopping bag full of candy,” said Dr. Jerry Udelson, the owner of Elmhurst Dentistry for Kids.

Churchville Middle School plans Veterans Day Assembly Churchville Middle School will be holding its 9th annual Veterans Day Assembly and welcome Veterans and their families to join in. It will take place on Friday, Nov. 10 from 2-3:30 p.m. at the school, located at 155 Victory Parkway. (Please enter through the main entrance door.)

Please R.S.V.P. to prichey@elmhurst205.org or call (630) 832-8682 ext. 3949 and let us know who will be attending the event. You will be contacted with further information about the event and have the opportunity to ask questions prior to the event.

menting with the idea of the candy buy-back years ago, his own children were not big fans of the idea of giving up their candy. His children’s minds were quickly changed when they found out they’ll receive a few dollars in return.

When donors come into the office, their candy will be weighed and they will receive $1 for every

pound up to a total of 10. They are also invited to create a card to express gratitude to service members.

The boxes of candy that Elmhurst Dentistry for Kids accumulates will be included in care packages to U.S. military troops overseas and local Veterans Administration hospitals and organizations.

“Soldiers are so appreciative of

the care packages they receive and are amazed at the support they receive from total strangers,” said Barbara Klapperich, 5th District VFW Auxiliary Representative, in Illinois.

Elmhurst Dentistry for Kids can be reached at 630-833-1166 or online at elmhurstdentistryforkids. com or find them on Facebook.

The festivities began in the IC Church where grandparents were greeted by IC Pastor, Father Tom Paul and ICGS Principal Cathy Linley. After an opening prayer, each grade of students gathered on the altar for a brief singing program, directed by ICGS Music teacher Mark Watson. Afterward, students returned to their classrooms and awaited the arrival of their beloved guests. The grandparents then joined the students for cookies and fruit and together they sat and completed questionnaires and coloring sheets.

Orthodontic U P DAT E

by Jeffrey T. Boland Licensed Orthodontic Specialist

CAUSE AND EFFECTS

When a patient’s teeth and jaws are not properly aligned, he or she is by said Jeffrey to have a “malocclusion” T. Boland(or “bad bite”). Orthodontic Untreated malocclusions Licensed Specialist can lead to teeth that wear poorly over time. In some cases, this wear can be severe enough that a damaged tooth structure must be replaced with a crown, bonding, or veneers. Poorly fitting teeth can also contribute to stress and strain on the muscles that support the jaws, which can lead to pain in the chewing muscles, headaches, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome. Poorly fitting teeth can induce stresses that can negatively affect bone and gum support of the teeth, which could ultimately result in tooth loss. Timely treatment can prevent these unwanted outcomes.

P.S. Malocclusions can also lead to speech problems.

Hospital to host ribbon-cutting at north Elmhurst health center

Police hold training exercise

SUBMITTED PHOTO Elmhurst Independent

It may be hard to see them in the bushes in the front of this home, but there are four or five police officers in this photo participating in a training exercise at a home on 2nd & Elm. It was one of many on-going training opportunities performed by the Elmhurst Police Department to keep up the skills of those in blue so they are prepared for any eventuality.

Edward-Elmhurst Health will host a ribbon-cutting for its new Health Center at 755 N. York St., on Friday, Oct. 20 at 12 noon. The $3.1 million Center is a joint venture with MedProperties Group, a medical real estate developer.

The Center features physicians who specialize in family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology and gastroenterology. The 13,000-square-foot, single-story building includes 10 exam rooms, one procedure room, an endoscopy suite and four pre-procedure/postrecovery rooms. It is the new home for Elmhurst Memorial Medical Group (EMMG) physicians who were previously located at 429 N. York.

EMMG’s board certified physicians provide primary care for infants through seniors. For more information, visit EEHealth.org/EMMG. In late October, Elmhurst Clinic will begin offering endoscopy services at the Center, including screenings to diagnose and procedures to treat gastrointestinal conditions.

Elmhurst Clinic is a multi-specialty medical group with more than 100 physicians who practice in more than 20 specialties at 12 locations in Elmhurst, Addison, Bloomingdale, Lombard, Oak Park, River Forest, Hinsdale and Westchester. For more information, visit EEHealth.org/ElmhurstClinic.

ML Realty Partners names resident as CEO

ML Realty Partners have announced today that its Board of Directors has appointed Ryan Hesch as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Hesch, who resides in Elmhurst, has also been elected to the Board of Directors of ML Realty Partners. Hesch is being promoted from his current position of Senior Vice President. Hesch joined ML Realty Partners fourteen years ago and has been consistently promoted to various positions during his tenure.

Mike Luecht, the founding and

Ryan Hesch

Nancy Kozinski

current CEO, will work carefully with Ryan and the Board of Directors on a well-planned transition process.

Luecht, who is retiring, will remain

on the Board of Directors going forward.

“In 2001, when the company was founded, the goal was to become a respected and successful real estate operating company who had their clients and their investors best interests driving the company every day,” Luecht said. “Our leadership team over the years accomplished that for sure as ML Realty Partners has become one of the leading investors and developers of industrial real estate.

With Ryan and the rest of the lead-

ership team taking the company forward from here, that same core commitment will be there as well as the continued passion for more growth.”

“Our relationship with Mike and his team since the inception of the company has been wonderful and we are excited about Ryan continuing the leadership,” said Dan Schulte, a board member of ML Realty Partners and President of Principal Enterprise Capital. “Our passion for furthering the growth of ML Realty Partners has never been greater.”

Additionally, Nancy Kozinski has been appointed by the board as Chief Operating Officer. Kozinski will oversee the operations of the company, which now has more than $1 billion in assets, and has also been elected to the Board of Directors.

“Nancy has done an exceptional job over the years overseeing our assets,” Luecht said, “and this is a natural expansion of her responsibilities.”

Kozinski joined ML Realty Partners ten years ago and has been a critical part of the firm’s success.

UCP Seguin announces co-chair of Capital Campaign

UCP Seguin of Greater Chicago announced last week that Frank Catalano, Jr. of Elmhurst has accepted the position of Co-Chair of the agency’s “Life Without Limits” Capital Campaign.

Catalano will play a major role in UCP Seguin’s efforts to raise $1.6 million for three major components of

the capital campaign: establish a new center to provide community-inclusive Employment and Life Skills Training services within DuPage County; establish an innovative, technologically advanced residential home for four individuals within the County known as an IHOME; and complete needed rehabilitation to current UCP Seguin res-

idential homes and centers providing safe, accessible and functional sites.

Catalano serves as president of the Elmhurst-based Catalano & Associates real estate firm. Catalano’s company represents three generations of real estate brokers specializing in real estate sales, leasing, management, construction and finance. Frank joined the UCP

Seguin Board in 2015, and has played a significant role in identifying and assisting in acquisition of additional program sites.

UCP Seguin is a multifaceted nonprofit agency offering an array of services to children and adults with disabilities across the greater Chicago area, including the community of El-

mhurst. As one of 14 members of the Board, Catalano provides significant input into the organization’s policies, programs, strategic direction, and finances, with a particular focus on human resources, board governance and property management.

Resident named president of professional association Elmhurst resident Craig Zomchek was just elected president of the National Association of Elevator Contractors (NAEC), North America’s largest elevator/ conveyance association.

A few weeks ago he accepted the position at the NAEC Convention in Atlantic Craig Zomchek City, NJ. Zomchek is the Business Manager at Colley Elevator Company in Bensenville. He began working summers in

1996 helping out in the back of the shop; in 2000, he began working in the office full time while finishing his undergraduate degree at DePaul University with a double major in Marketing and Management.

He has a dual concentration for a Masters in business in Strategy, Execution and Valuation as well as Marketing.

Craig has also attended electrical engineering, electrical construction, electrical code and NAESA elevator code training. Craig is a licensed elevator inspector in the State of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.

Study shows climate change threatens Midwest infrastructure Roads, bridges, railways and energy systems face potentially costly consequences As intense weather events batter US coastal cities and offshore islands, a new study from the Midwest Economic Policy Institute warns that the threat of climate change extends much farther inland, with potentially devastating impacts on transportation and infrastructure systems across the Midwest.

“Whether we like it or not, the climate of the Midwest is already changing,” said study author Mary Craighead. “It is vital for policymakers to understand the potential costs and consequences of these changes, and to be proactive in taking actions that are necessary to protect communities and the infrastructure on which our entire regional economy depends.”

Specifically, Craighead cites growth in the region’s average air

temperature by 4.5 degrees since the 1980s, growing electricity outages, a 27% increase in the number of “very heavy precipitation days” since the 1950s, a steady reduction in ice coverage on the Great Lakes, and more frequent freeze-thaw cycles to highlight how various infrastructure systems could ultimately be impacted.

“Rising temperatures and the likelihood of more storms and flooding reduce the lifespan of roads and bridges, could cause railways to buckle, and threaten above-ground energy facilities and transmission lines,” Craighead added. “Without critical maintenance and modernization of these systems, everything from freight and commuter routes to our region’s overall economic value as a net distributor of electricity could be jeopardized.”

One in four Illinoisans worry they may never be able to repay student loans Illinoisans are buried in student debt and many are struggling to make their monthly payments. Yet, an overwhelming number still think a post-secondary education is critical to success.

The latest Country Financial Security Index® revealed that over one in four Illinoisans (28 percent) who have taken on student debt are not confident they will ever be able to pay off their loans. And for those who are still working to pay off their loans, nearly half (47 percent) have missed a payment at least once.

Despite the high interest rates that come with student loans, Americans are still willing to acquire debt for education as they view it as critical to future success. In fact, most Illinoisans (86 percent) think an education beyond high school is important to succeed in the United States and more than two-thirds (70 percent) think taking out loans for education is worth it.

“Our survey found the majority of

Americans who have missed a student loan payment have not done so because of error or because they forgot. It’s been a lack of money, not a lapse in memory. They were fiscally unable to pay it,” said Doyle Williams, an executive vice president at COUNTRY Financial®. “Regardless of their financial situation, Americans value the opportunity to pursue advanced education and believe it will help them achieve their financial goals. How they approach the management of student debt will be a rising concern.”

Facing the burden of education Even though Illinoisans think education is important and worth taking on debt for, they also think education costs too much and student debt has become burdensome.

Sixty-seven percent of Illinoisans think student debt is a very big prob-

A Special Advertising Section

Travel Wisconsin spotlights fleeting fall color in new ad campaign

Travel Wisconsin is reminding travelers that nature doesn’t wait when it comes to Wisconsin’s autumn color. A new fall campaign from the state tourism office uses drone footage of the state’s spectacular autumn color and a full-on immersive experience in Chicago’s Union Station to encourage travelers to book their fall vacations.

Travel Wisconsin wrapped an entire hallway in Union Station in an enchanting fall theme with a towering 8-foot hourglass as the main attraction. As the colors change in Wisconsin, which is known for it’s 16 million acres of forest, leaves will slip through the hourglass remind-

ing daily commuters and travelers to “see the fall leaves before the leaves fall.” Vacationers are encouraged to start their planning by visiting the award-winning online Travel Wisconsin Fall Color Report.

The campaign kicked off earlier this month with a fall TV spot that utilized drone technology to capture close-ups of people enjoying outdoor activities, then zooming out to a backdrop panorama of fall color.

The spot features hiking at RocheA-Cri State Park in Friendship, leaf peeping at Holy Hill National Shrine of Mary in Hubertus, golfing at Whistling Straits in Sheboygan and riding the “Fall Colors Comet Sky

Ride” at Granite Peak Ski Area in Wausau.

“Fall is a short travel season so we need to make a big impact in a small window of time to urge travelers not to wait when it comes to their vacation plans,” said Wisconsin Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett. “The hourglass promotes the fast-moving nature of fall color and the entire campaign captures the beauty and the fun to be had in Wisconsin. One look at the hourglass and travelers will want to head for the next Hiawatha train to Wisconsin. We’ll be ready to greet them when they arrive!”

The portal for traveler information can be found at travelwisconsin.com.

‘The Four C Notes’ to perform Holiday Dinner Concert The Four C Notes, the Midwest’s only tribute group to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, will be the featured entertainment at a one night only holiday concert on Saturday, Dec. 16. Backed by a live band, The Four C Notes are led by John Michael Coppola who appeared in Chicago’s long running Jersey Boys.

The event is being presented by Navarro Catering & Events.

Titled Seasons Greetings: The Hits of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, plus Rock and Roll Holiday Classics, the concert will feature songs by the group whose popularity was reignited by the Broadway show Jersey Boys, as well as holiday classics made famous by artists such as The Eagles, The Drifters, Dion and

the Belmonts, Johnny Maestro and many more.

Coppola, who understudied the role of Frankie Valli during the nearly its nearly three-year run in Chicago, started The Four C Notes in 2013.

“I was asked to create a 30-minute set for a wedding performed to music tracks. I hired three friends of mine from the Chicago theater and music scene, and it sort of took off from there,” he said. “It was as if the universe said ‘Yes! Go with that instinct’. The show has grown to 90 minutes and we’ve been busy ever since, having been blessed to perform at public and private events all over the country.”

The dinner portion of the evening will be presented by Navarro

Catering & Events, which is run by long-time Elmhurst resident Butch Navarro.

“Upon my recent association with Durty Nellies, I was thrilled to hear that we were hosting The Four C Notes for a Saturday night concert,” says Navarro. “They played to a capacity crowd and received a standing ovation. With my goal to continuously bring great food and great entertainment to my hometown of Elmhurst, and having hosted numerous events including music and interactive comedy theater, all of which included food for the audience, I know The Four C Notes are guaranteed to put on a great performance.”

The concert will take place at Knights of Columbus, Fr. McDonald

Council #1911, 537 S York St. in Elmhurst. Doors open for cocktails at 5 p.m., with dinner at 6:30 p.m. and the concert at 8 p.m.. Tickets are $52, and a limited number of VIP tickets, offering a closer view of the stage and dedicated buffet station, are

available for $62. A cash bar will be available.

The event will also have a 50/50 raffle to benefit Mercy Home for Boys & Girls.

For tickets, please visit elmhurstkofc.org or thefourcnotes.com.

IC Catholic Prep’s Leahy finishes tied for third in the state Senior golfer was sitting in 27th place after first round

By Mike Miazga

CHRIS FOX PHOTO Elmhurst Independent

Senior night rally

York senior Molly Evans guards the net against the Glenbrook South Titans on Thursday, Oct. 12 in Elmhurst. It was Senior Night and the Dukes rallied to beat the visiting Titans in 3 sets.

If there was a ‘comeback award’ of the state tournament, IC Catholic Prep senior golfer Connon Leahy would be in the running for the hardware.

After a tough first day, Leahy roared back to shoot a 71 and finish tied for third at the recent Class 1A boys state golf finals held in Bloomington at par-72 Prairie Vista Golf Course in Bloomington.

Leahy tied with five other individuals for third and was four shots off the second-place finisher and six off the Class 1A titlist.

Even more impressive is the fact Leahy went into the final round sitting in a tie for 27th place after carding an 81 after Day 1 action.

“Ball-striking-wise I didn’t change much,” said Leahy of his second-day performance. “I hit the ball really solid both days. From tee to green I couldn’t get it much better. I had 39 putts the first day and 34 putts the second day. That was a lot of putts both days.”

Leahy parred every hole on the front in his final round to finish with 36. He had three birdies on the back on holes 12, 16 and 17 to finish with a 35. In his first round, Leahy birdied the second hole, but was slowed down by eight bogey-or-higher holes.

Leahy acknowledged he struggled a bit during the first round of the tournament. “I had a tough day,” he said.

“But I knew I could bounce back and play the best I could and give it a run.

I had a bogey on 17 the first day and

then a triple on 18. That was a rough way to finish. I played four-over the last two holes. I should have been in the mid-70s and end up shooting 81.”

Leahy also noted he felt no pressure during the final round. “I didn’t,” he said. “I was super-relaxed. I knew that it was my last high-school round for sure. I went out there with the mindset to fire on every pin possible and go as low as I can. It worked out pretty well. From where I was at the end of the first round in 27th place, I knew I would come into the second round and have fun and make a run. I knew I could do it. Getting third place after yesterday is pretty good. Jumping up 24 spots is good.

My putting wasn’t there the whole tournament, but everything else was solid. If the putter was there I would have had a good chance of winning it.”

The foul weather that blanketed the Chicago area all of last Saturday was not a factor in Bloomington.

“The first day it was perfect scoring conditions,” said Leahy. “The second round was overcast and we had a little rain at the turn. The course there has no trees to block the wind so it’s always windy. It’s at least two clubs into the wind. The wind was a factor on putts and everything else.

The wind makes it pretty difficult.”

Overall, Leahy gives a big thumbs up to his high-school golf career, one that saw him make three state finals appearances and win the conference golfer of the year award this year.

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York football team snapped a nine-game losing streak dating back to last year with a 35-26 West Suburban Conference Silver Division against Proviso West in Hillside.

York’s last win also came against Proviso West in Week 7 of the 2016 season.

The Trojans have won two of their last three games with triumphs over Oak ParkRiver Forest (28-23) and Downers South (29-10).

“My high-school experience couldn’t have been any better,” he said. “Coach (Don) Sujack is unbelievable and all my teammates throughout the years have been unbelievable and have been great guys to be around. Making state three years helped me this year. I had those two years of experience coming in and it helped in my final

round. It was my last round ever and I wanted to try and go out and get it. I was eight shots back and I had the attitude that there was nothing to lose. I was going to play as hard as I could and find every pin and that’s what I did. The last round couldn’t have capped off, in my opinion, a great high-school career any better.”

York boys soccer team opens playoffs this week

Dukes hand co-conference champion OPRF its only league loss

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York boys soccer team closed out the regular season on a roller-coaster ride.

The Dukes, the No. 3 seed in its postseason sectional, scored recent wins against Addison Trail (2-1) and Fenton (4-3), but lost 1-0 in double overtime to Downers Grove North in a West Suburban Conference Silver Division contest.

“That game against Downers North was a big deal for us,” said York coach Lukasz Majewski. “We were hoping to be contenders for the conference title. We should have won the game. We had three or four opportunities that we missed. Downers got a break and scored on us at the end of the double overtime. We outshot them 15-2 or 15-3 and had several opportunities to finish the game.

We should have been winning 3-0 at halftime.”

York then recorded a 2-1 win over co-conference-champion Oak Park-River Forest. “Oak Park ended up sharing the conference title with Lyons Township,” said Majewski.

“We gave them their only conference loss.”

The Dukes lost 1-0 at Maine South in a non-conference game, lost 4-1 to Glenbard West in a WSC Silver game on senior night and then finished up the regular season with a 3-0 WSC crossover win against Hinsdale South.

“We’ve kind of been more down that up lately,” said Majewski late last week. That’s not necessarily the way to go heading into the playoffs.

We’re trying to get healthy.”

Majewski noted the team lost key offensive player Joe Reinhofer to in-

jury in the Downers North game.

“He’s one of our offensive guys on top. He’s scored a bunch of goals and puts a lot of pressure on teams,” the coach pointed out. “In the Downers North game he pulled up with a hamstring two minutes into the game and was done. It’s been evident the last few games that he’s not been in there.”

On the plus side, Majewski said his team still is creating scoring opportunities.

“We’re still making plenty of opportunities to score,” he said. “Joe is a big part of us being able to score.

He takes pressure off guys that score that we don’t always look to be scorers. We’ve out-shot and out-chanced teams lately and we just haven’t been able to put the ball in the back of

York’s Cartis and Nikoleit qualify for state tennis finals Dukes tie for third at West Suburban Conference Silver tournament

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

It’s been a successful couple of weeks for the York girls tennis team.

At the recent Class 2A Oak Park-River Forest sectional, the York doubles team of Melissa Cartis and Gianna Nikoleit finished fourth and qualified for this weekend’s Class 2A state finals meet.

Cartis and Nikoleit won their first match 6-1, 6-2 over Morton, and won their second match 6-5, 6-1 over Oak Park-River Forest. They lost 6-2, 6-1 to Chicago Whitney Young in the semifinals and lost 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 to another Oak Park-River Forest team in the third-place match.

The Dukes finished fourth as a team in the sectional with 14 points.

Earlier, the Dukes tied for third

place with Lyons Township at the West Suburban Conference Silver Division tournament at Hinsdale Central.

York finished with 22 points behind champion Hinsdale Central (39 points) and Glenbard West (38 points).

“We played a lot of good tennis,” said York coach Tres Heimann. “You always feel good when you outperform the points you earn in the regular season at the conference tournament. It shows the girls are making good strides as a team.”

Heimann was referring to York finishing with 22 points at the tournament as opposed to 20 points during the WSC Silver dual-match portion of the schedule.

York also won six of its first sev-

en first-round matches in the tournament.

The Dukes had conference medalists at two flights. Lauren Fonorow (31-8) and Eva Jacobsthal (27-12) at No. 3 doubles and Cristina Gamboa (24-9) and Micki Neidigh (24-9) at No. 4 doubles.

“These four players have been extremely solid throughout the season and have been a big strength in our lineup,” said Heimann.

York’s JV 2 team finished 22-3 overall and won the WSC Silver title, completing the season with a 5-1 win over Hinsdale Central earlier this month. The 22 wins was the most at that level in program history.

York’s JV 1 team went 27-2 and

York girls cross-country team finding success at all levels Dukes preparing for Class 3A regional at Wheaton North this weekend

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York girls cross-country team had to wait a few more days to see where it would finish in the West Suburban Conference Silver Division.

This past Saturday’s WSC Silver meet hosted by Hinsdale Central was cancelled due to the inclement weather in the area. The meet was scheduled to be run this past Monday.

After the WSC meet, York is preparing for this weekend’s Class 3A Wheaton North regional at St. James Farm located at 2S541 Winfield Rd., in Warrenville.

In other recent action, York had great success at the Wheaton North Falcon Classic flight meet.

In this meet, varsity runners compete in a series of races against the same-seeded runner from the opposing schools. The scores from all seven races are then combined to

identify the winning team.

York tied Lockport for first place with 33 points. The meet came down to the last race of the day where the Dukes’ No. 1 flight runner (Sarah May) finished ahead of Lockport’s No. 1 runner.

May finished fourth in her flight in 17:46 to lead the Dukes. Katherine Tomaska was fourth in her flight at 18:13, while Erin Davies took sixth in 18:37.

Lydia Hickey was second in her

eighth in 19:35. Kali Wilson was 12th in 19:19 and Lily Kilgast was 16th in 20:05.

York’s frosh-soph team also won its meet at Wheaton North. The Dukes finished with 59 points compared to Lockport’s 61 points.

Grace Moriarty was fourth with a time of 19:31. Maggie Clink was eighth in 19:40, while Abby Moriarty was 11th in 19:48. Ayesha Siddiqi was 14th in 19:55, while Kelsey Devereux finished 22nd with a time of 20:12, helping York sweep all the titles at the Wheaton North event.

the net. We’re creating chances to put the ball away, but we aren’t doing it right now.”

York awaited the winner of the Addison Trail-Elk Grove contest earlier this week in the regional semifinals.

“Our main objective is to make sure everybody is healthy when we start the playoffs,” the coach said late last week.

Majewski has seen strong play of late from the likes of Michael Achepohl, Robert Meade, Joe Meade and Paolo Favuzzi.

“Mike Achepohl has been playing well for us,” he said. “Robert Meade is (recovering) from an injury earlier in the season and has found his way back. Joe Meade is a sophomore midfielder who has been doing really well running the offense. Paolo Favuzzi is our other holding center-mid and he usually marks up the best players on the other team with man-marking or keeping an eye on the person. If we had a plus-minus rating, his would

be off the charts. He does a lot of positive things for us and produces around the field.”

Majewski’s squad was 12-8 heading into the playoffs and finished 3-3 in WSC Silver play. At one point, the coach noted his team was 4-4.

“With the injuries we’ve had the last couple weeks we have tried some different things,” he said. “We are the No. 3 seed in the sectional.

With that in mind, we have been trying some different formations with the hopes of making an extended run here. Even though the results might not be the best, we had a chance to put kids in different spots to the extent of seeing what works and what doesn’t work in case we need to change formations in the playoffs. We got players exposed to different spots.”

In that 2-1 win over Addison Trail in a WSC crossover game, John Gratzianna and Robert Meade each had a goal. Achepohl had three goals in the victory against Fenton with Reinhofer tallying the other.

took second in the conference behind Hinsdale Central. The Dukes finished a point behind the Red Devils at the conference tournament. That also was the most dual wins at that level in program history.

The Dukes’ varsity was 23-11 and also set a new record for most wins in a single season in program history.

“Each of these levels had its most successful season winning the most dual matches in program history on its respective level,” Heimann pointed out.

At the varsity tournament, Aleksina Jovic took fourth at No.1 singles.

She won her first match 6-0, 6-1 over Oak Park-River Forest and lost in the semifinals to Hinsdale Central and in the third-place match to Lyons Township.

Isabella Nicoli finished fourth at No. 2 singles. She won her first match 6-3, 6-0, 6-2 over Dwoners Grove

North. Nicoli dropped a match and then lost to Lyons Township in the third-place match.

Siva Sreedhar also was fourth at No. 3 singles. She won her first match 6-2, 4-6, (10-6) and then lost a decision to Glenbard West and then one to Lyons Township in the thirdpalce contest.

In doubles, Cartis and Nikoleit took fourth at the No. 1 position.

They won their first match 6-4, 6-2 over Lyons Township and then dropped decisions in the semifinals and third-place match.

Cate Duhig and Jacki Riek were fifth at No. 2 doubles. They lost to Lyons Township in their opener and then received a bye in their second match before scoring a 3-6, 6-3 (10-7) win in the fifth-place match against Downers Grove North.

Fonorow and Jacobsthal were third at No. 3 doubles. They won 6-1,

6-1 over Lyons Township and then lost to Hinsdale Central in the semifinals before coming back to defeat Oak Park-River Forest 6-0, 6-3 in the third-place match.

Gamboa and Neidigh were third at No. 4 doubles. They won 6-2, 6-2 against Oak Park-River forest before losing to Glenbard West in the semifinals. Gamboa and Neidigh won the third-place match 1-6, 6-1, (10-6).

Through the conference tournament, Fonorow was tops on the team with a 31-8 mark, while Jacobsthal was 27-12. Nikoleit was 25-15, while Neidigh was 24-9, as was Gamboa.

Cartis was 23-17 and Sreedhar was 22-7. Wendy Zhang was 19-7, while Elysia Woodward was 19-8. Jovic, Nicoli and Riek each had 19 wins.

Duhig had 17 wins. Jess Paist also had 17 wins (17-11), while Rachel Kayman was 16-11. Olivia Brunke had 11 wins.

going to have to take some chances on the back nine. While that didn’t always work to our advantage, the boys played with a do-or-die intensity that was ‘team-first.’ I couldn’t be prouder of them. Connon continued to play well and while his medalist streak ended and his team season is over that young man remains quite focused.”

What to know if you have chronic pain government organizations and researchers are discussing strategies to provide relief to the 100 million Americans with chronic pain.

“In May 2016, the CDC issued new guidelines for prescribing opioids, urging physicians to consider other treatments to help patients get relief and reduce the number of people who develop an opioid dependence,” says Dr. Mark Wallace, chair of the division of Pain Medicine in the Department of Anesthesiology,

University of California San Diego.

Fortunately, alternative treatment options exist that can help people manage their chronic pain. While not well known, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an FDA-approved option that has been proven to be safe and effective.

The nerves in the spinal cord are constantly communicating with the brain, and in patients with chronic pain, those signals trigger pain that can be physically and emotion-

The Elmhurst Memorial Hospital (EMH) Foundation will host its Hope. Lives. Here.

Luncheon on Wednesday, Oct. 25, 11 a.m. at the Butterfield Country Club, 2800 Midwest Rd. in Oak Brook.

The annual event is held to increase awareness and raise funds for the Nancy W. Knowles Cancer Center and Elmhurst Hospital’s oncology services.

Proceeds from the Luncheon are used to provide patients with educational materials to learn more about their specific needs, provide community screenings for early detection and prevention, and offer the latest therapies, such as the use of the DigniCap Scalp Cooling System to lessen hair loss during chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer.

Speakers at the Luncheon include Christina Lavin, MS, LCGC, Genetic Counselor, Nancy W. Knowles Cancer Center and Deborah Lindner,

ally debilitating. SCS therapy works by interrupting that pain signal from reaching the brain.

It is a medical device that is implanted and is reversible unlike most surgical procedures.

Patients undergo a trial period allowing them to evaluate it before deciding to receive a permanent implant.

In a recent study published in the journal “Pain Medicine,” 86 percent of patients who underwent a trial with the Precision Spectra SCS System, a device made by Boston Scientific, reported a significant reduction in their pain and opted to receive an implant. When asked about their pain levels two years later, approximately 70 percent of the patients in the Lumina Study reported equal to or more than 50 percent reduction in their overall pain.

Since its introduction more

than 40 years ago, SCS technology has evolved, allowing for precise targeting and personalized treatment, which helps physicians better address the needs of their patients.

People struggling from chronic pain should consider talking to a pain management specialist about SCS, and visit www.ControlYourPain.com for more information. According to Dr. Wallace, key questions to ask include: • Should I consider SCS? • How can SCS treat my pain?

• What is the procedure like?

• We all need to do our part to reduce the negative impact of opioid abuse. One key step is for patients and physicians to initiate conversations about other ways we can manage pain to help them return to their normal lives,” says Dr. Wallace.

(StatePoint) For a dose of reality on the impact of opioid abuse, consider this: In the U.S., illicit and prescription drug overdoses now kill more people than cars or guns, more than HIV/AIDS did at its peak, and from 1998 to 2015 overdoses rose by more than 500 percent. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 91 Americans die daily from an opioid overdose, totaling more than 33,000 people a year.

YDAP introduces three Dukes of Distinction The York Distinguished Alumni Program (YDAP) serves to recognize and honor alumni who have distinguished themselves through significant and/or extraordinary accomplishments, service and/or an outstanding contribution to society.

This year, six Dukes of Distinction have been chosen by a panel of York alumni judges and will be honored on the evening of Thursday, November 2, beginning with a reception at 6:30 PM in the York High School Commons. The program is free and open to the public​, This week, the Independent joins District 205 in a salute to three of the six Distinguished Alumni, Blake Byren, David Boss and Dr. Judith Bond Johnson.

Blake Byrne in 1953

Art was always a passion for Blake, but he began collecting in earnest in 1989, when his focus shifted to contemporary art. When he asked his mentor and friend, Jack Tilton, how to learn about collecting art, Jack suggested Blake develop his own tastes by touring the Art Basel in Switzerland, where galleries from all over the world converge. Blake came away with his first purchases.

In 1997, he founded The Skylark Foundation, a philanthropic family foundation that’s committed to encouraging the protection of LGBTQ rights, striving for social justice and supporting diversity.

In 2015, the Foundation supported a travelling art exhibition from Blake’s private collection in celebration of his 80th birthday. This exhibition was shared with students at Duke University, The Ohio State University, Columbia University and Lewis & Clark College. That same year, he received the Distinguished Alumni Award at Duke University, an honor reserved for just 33 alumni to date.

Blake is a Lifetime Trustee of MOCA, was the Founding Chair of the Nasher Museum, and was honored with a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, an honor given for making a significant contribution to the arts in France.

Blake has two children and six grandchildren. ​

He lectured at the 73rd anniversary of the World War II Battleship Bismarck commissioning at the DANK Haus German American Cultural Center on the topic of “Strategic Thinking Behind the Surface Raiders.”

In 2016, Lieutenant Bosse retired after 20 years of full-time service.

His top priority is his family. He is married to Monica and has three children: Sophie, Katie, and Josh. Dave has moved to Tennessee, where he continues teaching CPR/First Aid and helping teach life skills to the disabled.

and speaks to classes of GED candidates.

His service took him outside of Illinois. He labored tirelessly in the aftermath of Katrina, working 24-hour shifts, then spending his off hours clearing debris. For his efforts, he received the Armed Forces Humanitarian Medal and the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System medal. Dave also assisted the New York Fire Department after the 9-11 attacks. The Bartlett Fire Department awarded him the Medal of Merit for saving for actions at a fire where a woman was trapped.

Continuing his love of learning, Dave has become an expert on the Sengoku Jidai period in Japan. Another of his interests is the study of Naval warfare and military history.

first to receive a PhD from the Adult Education program at the University of Minnesota in 1979. Cancer nursing is her specialty, but following a stroke in 1991, she expanded her interest to include all types of chronic illnesses. Judi’s company, HealthQuest, serves individuals, hospitals and companies whose interest is living with chronic illness.

2017 Blake Byrne today

Blake Byrne, Class of 1953 Nominated by Sally Mills Blake Byrne, Class of 1953, received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Duke University in 1957 and a MBA from Columbia University in 1961. He spent 35 years in television broadcasting beginning at CBS in New York, then at Chris Craft Broadcasting in Portland, Oregon; Outlet Broadcasting in Providence, Rhode Island; LIN Broadcasting in Ft. Worth-Dallas and New York; and Disney in Los Angeles, before becoming Co-Founder and President of Argyle Television in Los Angeles and San Antonio, Texas. He retired from broadcasting in 1997. He is Chairman of his son’s company, Byrne Acquisition Group, with television stations in Madison, Wisconsin and Hilton Head, South Carolina, and radio stations in Myrtle Beach and Clemson, South Carolina.

David Bosse in 1980

David Bosse 1980 Nominated by Crystal Scott David Bosse, Class of 1980, didn’t always possess a passion for firefighting. After graduation from York, he tried various jobs, and in 1984, answered an ad for a part-time fireman.

He was hired by the Lisle/Woodridge Fire Department on his birthday, which he thought was a good omen.

Moving on to a full-time position with the Bartlett Fire Department, he graduated from the Paramedic Program with honors. Dave was promoted to Lieutenant in 2007. Dave was late for his own ceremony because he was at a structure fire and had to wait for a relief Lieutenant.

Dave recently completed his associate’s degree in fire science and is currently working on his bachelor’s degree in the same field. He has taught Haz-Mat and other related classes at Elgin Community College

Man convicted of 1995 double murder resentenced to natural life in prison DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin announced last week that Judge George Bakalis has resentenced convicted double-murderer Joseph Arrieta, 40, to natural life in prison without the possibility of parole for the 1995 murders of Anthony Moore and Edward Riola. The resentencing comes following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling (Miller v. Alabama) that a mandatory sentence of natural life for those under the age of 18 at the time of the crime violates the 8th amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment and that anyone under the age of 18 sentenced to mandatory life in prison must receive a new sentencing hear-ing. Arrieta was 17 years old at the time of the murders, just three months shy of his 18th birthday.

On March 11, 1996, following a

jury trial, Arrieta was found guilty of the double murder. At that time, Illinois law mandated a sentence of natural life in prison without the possibility of parole in the case of double murders. Consequently, a sentencing hearing was unnecessary and Arrieta was sentenced to mandatory life imprisonment, as required by Illinois law.

With the 2012 Miller v. Alabama decision, Arrieta received a sentencing hearing at which time the court heard evidence and arguments for and against his life sentence. The sentencing hearing was held on Aug. 8.

Following the hearing, Judge Bakalis ruled that after careful consideration of all the relevant factors, as required by the U.S. Supreme Court in Miller v. Alabama, the “petitioner’s original sentence to natural life imprisonment

was correct” and that his request “to be sentenced to something less than life imprisonment is denied.”

“In Miller v. Alabama, the Supreme Court ruled that a mandatory life sentence for those under 1 is unconstitutional, not the sentence itself, just the automatic imposition of the life sentence after a finding of guilty,” Berlin said. “This was a cold-hearted, planned killing by a man who, once informed by others that Mr. Moore was still alive after being shot, actually went back to the room where he shot Mr. Moore and shot him again to make sure he was dead.

“The Miller v. Alabama decision should not have and did not change Mr. Arrieta’s circumstances. He earned his natural life sentence on March 15, 1995 – the day he murdered two innocent men.”

Concurrent with his professional career, Duncan devoted countless hours to award-winning volunteer leadership: first in multiple decades of service to the Jaycees, at the local (Elmhurst) and State levels. One of his specialties: scream-inducing haunted houses. Jaycee recognitions include induction into the Northeast Region Hall of Fame (2012) and the Illinois Jaycee Senate. After roostering out of the Jaycees, he helped found the Elmhurst Children’s Assistance Foundation and preserved the ground-breaking mission of the Center for Speech and Language Disorders. He chose the Rotary Club of Elmhurst for his next long-term commitment. During his presidency in 2006-07, the Club was recognized for recruiting the most new members in District 6450; that year they also raised funds for the international polio eradication campaign.

York announces cast list for ESO gears up for next concert in series Mary Stolper to Fall Festival productions York High School recently released the cast list for its upcoming fall productions of The Children’s Hour and Next to Normal.

The Children’s Hour is a groundbreaking drama exploring the power of the spoken word. When a young girl starts a rumor about her teachers, lies compound, lives unravel, and truths are revealed. In today’s world of social media and political volatility, Lillian Hellman’s work is more relevant than the day it was written.

Next to Normal is true contemporary musical theatre; exploring how one sub-urban household copes with crisis and mental illness. Winner of three 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, Next to Normal was also chosen as “one of the year’s ten best shows” by critics around the country, including The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone and The New York Times.
