Economic impact could be as much as $16.5 million, consultant’s report says

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

As Elmhurst considers an indoor sports facility, a consultant to the City has outlined three types to consider: an ice arena, a gymnasium and a turf facility.

The report, which is on the City’s web site, did not discuss a location.

The estimated total output (direct spending plus indirect/induced spending) for a facility is between approximately $11.9 million and $16.9 million per year. Additionally, this spending is estimated to generate between $5.9 million and $8.2 million annually to boost the local Elmhurst economy. The project will also create between 160 and 225 full and part-time jobs.

Bill Krueger, a consultant with CSI, said conversations with the City and the Elmhurst Park District have indicated that General Obligation (G.O.) Bonds are likely the most viable source of funding.

While a property tax increase is an option, he noted that it is not the only viable mechanism for generating the annual revenue necessary for debt service. Developing a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district, or extending an existing TIF nearing closure, may provide a significant source of funds.

Another potential source of funding might be an increase in the City’s hotel/motel tax.

City discusses three types of indoor sports facilities

By Dan McLeister

With respect to engaging the private sector, Krueger stated that naming rights sales have been used more and more often in amateur sports facility development and/or ongoing operational funding. These partnerships may extend beyond the private sector, Krueger said.

Consideration of partnerships with Edward-Elmhurst Healthcare (for wellness aspects), Elmhurst College, IC Catholic Prep or other local education institutions may provide an opportunity to minimize the funding burden on the private sector. He also said they might consider a private equity partner, who would assume the majority of construction funding and operating risk.

Alderman Scott Levin (5th Ward), chairman of the Development, Planning and Zoning (DPZ) Committee, said the study by CSI was very good and provided an opportunity to consider plans, but said no action would be taken at the October 11th meeting. An indoor sports facility has been discussed off and on periodically for about two years.

At a joint meeting with the DPZ, Vince Spaeth, president of the Elmhurst Park District Board, spoke.

“This is a very rough concept,” he said. “I’m all ears. We are not very far down the road.”

clude two rinks (National Hockey League sized 200 ft. by 80 ft.) in a 60,000 square-foot facility. The ice facility is estimated to generate an annual operating loss of roughly $202,000 per year. Krueger stated that this amount is consistent with or better than comparable ice area facilities located throughout the country.

A gymnasium facility could in-

clude six hardwood courts and 12 volleyball courts in an approximate 80,000 square-foot facility with about 60,000 square-feet of floor space.

An indoor turf facility would include two full-sized fields (185 ft. by 76 ft. or 180 ft. by 80 ft.) configurable down to smaller fields in a facility of approximately 40,000 square-foot.

In terms of annual operating costs, upon stabilization of operations (assumed to occur by the fourth year) and not including debt service, the gymnasium facility and the indoor turf facility are estimated to generate an operating profit of about $149,000 and $270,000 per year.

Construction costs, including site costs, for an Elmhurst indoor facility are estimated to range between

$22.8 million and $32.2 million.

Krueger said his company conducted telephone interviews with more than 50 representatives of local sports and rec organizations and governing bodies with a state, regional and/or national scope.

More than 780 local area residents responded to an online survey.

Krueger indicated that rate of response was higher than most.

While attending a beautiful and gracious event on the evening of Friday, Oct. 14 at the Elmhurst Art Museum, the Independent was able to speak with some of the guests who offered thoughts about the new facility.

Elmhurst residents Gigi and James Owens had this to say: “It’s an amazing idea,” said Gigi.

“We don’t have anything like this in our community and we really need it.”

Asked if they anticipated any resistance when it was time to raise funds in the community, James didn’t think so.

“The fundraising is not being done by the City,” he said, “so why would there be any resistance to the idea? It will be an excellent addition to the community.”

“It’s been proven that projects like this are the best insurance policy for

the future of a community,” Gigi added. “It encourages more growth throughout the City.”

The Independent also spoke with Pete Dolan, who is the co-owner of a new business coming to 171 No. Addison St. after the first of the year. The Elmhurst Brewing Company is due to open in the spring of 2017. Talk of the ECPA helped encourage the partners to invest in Elmhurst.

“We are very excited about the new Performing Arts Centre,” Dolan said.

“We were anxious to invest in Elmhurst and we are absolutely in full support of the project.”

In terms of economic growth in the community, Dolan noted that the ECPA would benefit all businesses in Elmhurst because it will draw so many people to the community and to the downtown area.

“It will make Elmhurst an even larger destination than it is now,” he said. “We’re happy to be a part of it.”

Park Board capsules

Here’s what’s happening at the Elmhurst Park District

By Chris Fox FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

The Elmhurst Park District Board held its regular meeting on Oct. 11 at Elmhurst City Hall. Commissioner Patricia Morissette-Moll and Commissioner Anthony Pelosi were both absent from the meeting.

Discussions about indoor sports facility continue • The majority of the meeting featured a presentation with details of a feasibility study regarding a potential indoor sports facility in Elmhurst. In March, the park district board voted unanimously to accept the expenditure of $40,000 to engage Conventions Sports and Leisure International to conduct a market and feasibility study for an indoor sports facility in Elmhurst. The City of Elmhurst agreed to reimburse park district for $20,000 of the expenditure. In 2015, the park district solicited firms to assess the viability of an indoor sports facility in Elmhurst including aquatics, turf, gymnasiums and ice.

The district received eight proposals by the Dec. 18, 2015 deadline.

A selection committee including the park district’s management team and representatives from the City of Elmhurst interviewed five firms.

The committee chose Hunden Strategic Partners as the best fit for the project, but that firm’s fee proposal

was $81,000, which was $41,000 over the amount budgeted for the study. Rogers said the committee and Hunden Strategic Partners made a good-faith effort to work together but could not reach an agreement to reduce the fee and maintain the proposed scope of work. The committee then negotiated an agreement with Conventions, Sports and Leisure International for a not-to-exceed fee of $40,000.

Vince Spaeth, the president of the park district board, noted before the presentation that the board had not made any decisions about the possibility of building an indoor sports facility in Elmhurst. Spaeth described the study as a rough feasibility study that would give the board additional direction. Bill Krueger, a principal with Conventions, Sports and Leisure International stated his firm focuses only on consulting work related to such indoor facilities.

Krueger said the charge for his firm as it conducted the study was to examine the potential of a facility that would serve the needs of Elmhurst residents, as well as attracting tournaments, meets and competitions that would attract residents from other towns and generate economic benefits for the city.

Krueger said the feasibility study included a survey that generated 767 responses from Elmhurst residents.

His firm also conducted interviews and surveys with several schools, clubs and organizations to learn of their interest in an indoor facility.

Krueger said investigating a site location wasn’t a part of the scope of his firm’s study. He also said it was

not a foregone conclusion his firm would necessarily recommend that one of its clients should pursue construction of an indoor facility.

The study by Conventions, Sports and Leisure International recommended three models for the park board to consider as it continued to examine the viability of an indoor facility in Elmhurst. The models included an ice arena facility with two sheets of ice, a multi-court gymnasium and an indoor turf facility with two full-sized fields. The feasibility study reportedly indicated strong local and non-local demand for ice arena and multi-court gymnasium complexes. The firm’s study reportedly indicated moderately strong local and non-local demand for an indoor turf facility.

The feasibility study reportedly did not indicate sufficient local demand to support an indoor aquatic complex including a 50-meter competition pool. While some area swim clubs and programs noted a desire for additional pool space and time, those organizations reportedly don’t have the financial means to significantly contribute to the construction costs or operational expenses of such a facility.

The study provided estimates of the costs—excluding site costs— of three potential facilities. A hard court sportsplex carried an estimated cost of $22.75 million. An ice complex had an estimated cost of about $23.75 million, while a complex including hard courts and indoor turf included an estimated cost of about $32.2 million.

The study stated that conversa-

tions with representatives from the park district and the City of Elmhurst indicated that General Obligation bonding is likely the most viable source of funding for developing a new facility. Other potential sources of funding include the development of a tax increment financing (TIF) district, or extending an existing TIF district, as well as engaging the private sector in a naming-rights agreement for the facility. The study also noted the potential of partnerships with local educational institutions, as well as the consideration of an arrangement with a private equity partner.

The study claimed that the hard court sportplex would generate an estimated annual economic output of nearly $11.9 million in its fourth full year in operation. The ice complex, according to the study, would generate about $12.2 million in total economic output in its fourth full year of operation, while the hard court/turf complex would yield a total economic output of about $16.5 million in its fourth full year. Additionally, the study claimed that each facility would generate an estimated 153-212 full- and part-time jobs, leading to total personal earnings from $5.9 million to $8.2 million.

Board approves tax levy resolution • Board members voted unanimously during the Oct. 11 meeting to approve Tax Levy Resolution R-0416 with a $90,500 increase in tax dollars in the aggregate extension and a $30,000 increase in the Special Recreation Association (SRA)

Fund. The board will approve a tax levy ordinance in December. Once the ordinance is approved, the board will consider a second ordinance to direct the Cook and DuPage County clerks on the distribution of any tax levy adjustment.

The amount of real estate taxes extended by the park district upon its 2015 levy (2016 tax bill) was $6,603,014. The increases of $90,500 and $30,000 will lead to a 2016 levy (2017 tax bill) of $6,723,514. New construction is reportedly accounting for the additional $90,500 in tax dollars in the 2017 levy. According to information provided by the park district, the owner of a home with a market value of $350,000 paid $416 in taxes to the park district in the 2016 tax bill. That figure will drop to $393 in the 2017 tax bill.

Plans to purchase home near Berens Park announced • Board members entered closed session near the end of the meeting. Upon returning to open session, the board announced a resolution to authorize the purchase of the home located at 447 Armitage Avenue for $292,500. The home is located on the southwest side of Berens Park— on the north side of Armitage and just south of the park’s tennis and beach volleyball courts. The board, which unanimously approved the resolution authorizing the purchase, did not announce any future intentions for the property.

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

Park District plans grand reopening at Butterfield Park The community is invited to the ribbon cutting and grand reopening of Butterfield Park and the opening of the Playground for Everyone at Noon on Saturday, Nov. 5. Come out and play and discover the fun that awaits children of all abilities.

The vision for the Playground for Everyone at Butterfield Park is one of inclusion. Imagine a playground where every child can participate in all elements of the design. A place

where children of all abilities can play, socialize, and dream together; fostering acceptance, friendship, and understanding through play. For many children with disabilities this may represent the only place in their lives where they can swing, slide, climb, spin and play side-by-side with their friends and peers without having to abandon their usual means of mobility.

Beyond the Playground for Every-

one, the $1.8 million redevelopment of Butterfield Park provided for several other significant improvements, including new walking paths, new tennis courts and lighting, parking lot expansion, improvements in drainage to reduce flooding, underground drains in ball fields, and new backstops and benches in ball fields 2, 3 and 4.

Staff-led tours of the park will be available at the grand reopening

event, allowing park visitors to get reacquainted with all Butterfield Park has to offer.

With a limited number of such playgrounds in the area, it is hoped that the Playground for Everyone will be a destination for families throughout the surrounding communities. Come to Butterfield Park on November 5 to celebrate this new Elmhurst landmark with the Park District, its community partners and Elmhurst families.

FOCUS ON

VISION

by Dr. Mark Skowron

OVERCOMING VISUAL FATIGUE

When eye muscles become strained from spending long periods in front of computer screens, “visual fatigue” can set in. Symptoms include difficulty focusing, burning/stinging eyes, and headaches.

The workers most likely to find that they need new or updated occupational lenses are people over age 40 whose eyes are beginning to lose their ability to focus easily and quickly. Other candidates are those workers who have recently switched to using the computer for longer periods of time.

Visual fatigue is often also a problem with children who use computers to do homework or play video games for extended periods. A switch to glasses prescribed for work (or play) is likely to reduce the eyestrain that often leads to headache. Visual fatigue can be diagnosed by an eye doctor through an annual eye exam and a discussion on your lifestyle and work habits. If you have visual fatigue, your eye doctor has new technology designed to help you combat it. To learn more, please call SKOWRON EYE CARE. Our goal is to help you maintain a lifetime of healthy, clear, comfortable vision by using the latest in technology from invogue eyewear and eyeglasses to complex contact lenses to LASIK eye surgery. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision.

P.S. Reading a computer screen requires different skills from the eyes than are required to read a book or newspaper due to the color and contrast of the letters, the lighting, and the angle of the text.

Tooth rotation can occur as a natural result of crowding, which forces a tooth to rotate and present a narrower profile. Extraction of the wisdom teeth (third molars) is sometimes considered to relieve tooth crowding.

LWV/Election Commission sponsor mock election at York Clinton wins among local high school students

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

The League of Women Voters of Elmhurst, along with the other five local Leagues in DuPage County and the DuPage Election Commission, conducted a mock election on Thursday, Oct. 6, at 20 DuPage High Schools including York.

The Election Commission supplied 10 voting booths, a ballot box with an Accu-scan® to count the votes, as well as printing the ballots, for which LWV of Illinois covered the cost. The York High School ballot will contain candidates for President/Vice President, Senator and 5th Congressional District as well as the “Safe Roads” Amendment.

“The LWV is proud to be able to bring this teachable moment to York,” said Jan Dorner, Elmhurst LWV member and former LWV State President.

Ruff Life pet boutique thrives in Elmhurst Owner Chris Diederich offers all-natural nutrition, specialty items

By Marisa Mancini

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

As the name of Chris Diederich’s boutique dog store “Ruff Life” might suggest, his own life’s path has been a bit bumpy.

Born in Chicago Heights, Chris moved to Munster, Ind., to attend a better high school. After graduation, he worked as a heating and air conditioning technician, married and moved to Indianapolis. There, he started selling computers for Circuit City and moved his way up to store manager.

He served as store manager for several retail companies, the last of

which, Dick’s Sporting Goods, took him to Highland, Ind. At that time, his wife Eliza commuted from Indiana to Oak Brook for her interior design position at Walter E. Smith.

As their two sons approached school age, Chris and Eliza felt a strong desire to move to a community with good schools and a good family environment.

“We knew Elmhurst had great schools, but the minute we drove down York Road and saw the downtown, we got a special feeling,” said Chris. “We had a great meal at 100 South, saw the amazing parks and homes, and realized this was the

place for us.”

The family moved to Elmhurst in 2002, first renting a home on Arlington Ave., before purchasing their current home. Although Chris had always been a dog lover and had owned seven dogs in his lifetime, the family did not have a dog at the time.

In 2008, they adopted Bradley, a six-month-old Shih Tzu, from a friend who could no longer care for the dog.

Three years later, the family visited Second City Canine in Roselle where they fell in love with Lucy, a special needs Shih Tzu with one eye.

“Lucy was a nightmare care scenario for a family who doesn’t know anything about special needs dogs.

She had constant ear and skin infections, was underweight and was always sick,” recalled Chris. “We took her to the vet constantly, but nothing seemed to help.”

When Chris felt he exhausted all the recommendations he received from his vet, he started doing his own research, focusing mainly on nutrition. Through the trial and error of elimination diets, he found a raw diet that resolved all Lucy’s issues.

“Lucy was not just surviving on this diet, she was thriving,” he stat-

ed.

Unfortunately, Chris was driving 30 miles to buy Lucy’s food and discovered that many other people in the Elmhurst area were also traveling great distances to get the natural food necessary to meet their dog’s nutritional needs. Chris realized there was a true need for a natural food dog boutique in Elmhurst.

With his retail and management background, and knowledge of dog nutrition, Chris opened Ruff Life at 118 W. Vallette in Elmhurst on April 1, 2014. In addition supplying

healthy dog foods, Ruff Life also offers high quality dog treats, toys and supplies.

“Our philosophy is ‘dog nutrition through real foods – meats, vegetables and fruits,’” he said. “We don’t sell any food that contains corn, wheat, soy or by-products. Dogs can survive on anything. They are scavengers. But they thrive on a natural diet, which can cure current problems and prevent many future health problems.”

Nearly every day, Chris said he takes time to learn about new products in the dog food industry because things are always changing. He stays on top of changes in ownership, ingredients, and production locations, as well as product recalls. Moreover, he has formed relationships within the pet food industry to gain information that everyday customers might not know. Chris passes this information on to his customers and helps them select nutritionally suitable food for their dogs.

Chris loves being part of the Elmhurst business community and is thrilled to know he is providing a much-needed service to families with dogs and cats. Ruff Life has

been extremely successful. In July 2016, it expanded its 700 squarefoot space to 1,500 square feet, taking a portion from its neighbor Luscombe Music.

“It is neat being a part of the fabric of Elmhurst,” stated Chris. “I feel Elmhurst has embraced Ruff Life and I feel very strongly about giving back to the community.”

In that vein, Ruff Life partners with York High School and District 205’s Transitions Program. Each semester, a student from these programs works at the store. Ruff Life also sponsors “Poop Free Parks,” which provides dog waste bags in all Elmhurst parks.

Saluting another 2016 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, seven Dukes of Distinction have been chosen by a panel of York alumni judges and will be honored on the evening of Thursday, November 3, beginning with a reception at 6:30 p.m. in the York High School Commons. The program is free and open to the public.

Honorees for 2016 are: Dan Konopka, Jack Lavin, Judd Lofchie, Tekki Lomnicki, Barbara Lunde, Robert Nottelman (deceased) and Allan Tereba. All will be represented on November 3, with Bob’s son, Mark Nottleman, standing in for his father. Six of the Dukes of Distinction will be visiting with York stu-

Bob Nottelmann in 2003

dents on November 4 in both large and small group settings.

This week, the Independent salutes Robert Nottelmann, class of 1943.

Bob Nottelmann (deceased) was a distinguished business leader, philanthropist and volunteer. He held an undergraduate degree from Northwestern and also served in the

U.S. Army Airforce. After earning an MBA from the University of Chicago in 1961, he spent his whole 38year career at Inland Steel Company and its principal subsidiary, running one of America’s largest steelmakers.

Elmhurst has Nottelmann and the other founding board members to thank for establishing the District 205 Foundation for Educational Excellence in 1987. To date the Foundation has raised $2.5 million, funding many enhancements and innovative, new programs as well as funding 552 Thiems grants to support the students and staff of District 205.

In 1992, five years after his retirement, Nottelmann was named chairman of the Executive Service Corps of Chicago, where he led a small army of some 500 retired executives and professionals who volunteered

their time and expertise to help area non-profits and government agencies solve problems and run more efficiently. Under his tenure, the group’s membership was diversified to offer more consulting services in Hispanic and other minority communities.

Nottlemann also served on boards of the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago, Marshall Square Chicago Boys and Girls Club (of which he was the founding chairman) and the Chicago Boys and Girls Clubs.

He held membership in various professional organizations and the American Legion. In 1995, he was presented with the Outstanding Volunteer Award by the National Society of Fund Raising Executives, Chicago Chapter.

Bob Nottelmann will be represented at the event by his son, Mark Nottelmann.

ICGS gets moving in new directions

Elmhurst resident Kate Stalker, 9, is pictured here with some of the 386 backpacks she recently shipped to the Lakota Sioux Indian Reservation in Pine Ridge, So. Dak. Thank you to everyone who helped her reach her goal of 50 backpacks – and then some!

This year, a new collaborative initiative is taking shape at Immaculate Conception Grade School in Elmhurst. The administration, in collaboration with the ICGS Parents’ Club, has taken steps to incorporate more movement in the classroom.

Before students returned to school in August, the faculty participated in a workshop given by a master trainer in Action Based Learning, Dr. Ann Goldade.

This workshop included instruction in hands-on kinesthetic teaching methods.

Since then, ICGS teachers have been utilizing “brain boosts,” or short bursts of physical activity, to stimulate the brain and energize it for learning. In addition to being beneficial, these activities are also proving to be fun!

COURTESY PHOTO Elmhurst Independent As the faculty members An ICGS middle schooler tries out one experiment with various of the new “pedal desks,” while he gets “brain boosts,” they con- some in-class reading done. tinue to share their observa- tions in the classroom with each other. At the beginning of the school year, parents also attended a presentation by Dr. Goldade so that they understand the benefits of this initiative. ICGS is also currently experimenting with a couple of active seating options that allow for movement while students are sitting.

Four “pedal desks” have been purchased for middle school classrooms to provide students with an opportunity to pedal while they work! In addition, “wobble stools” are being sampled in classrooms since they have been shown to improve student attention and concentration.

History in the making A look back at Hahn Street/ Elmhurst 255 over the past year

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Now that the first renters are moving in to the Elmhurst 255 building, formerly known as the Hahn St. project, the Independent takes a trip back through the past 12 months as the building has progressed.

Where it all began

Pictured is a vast vacant area with a big hole in the ground, which was just the beginning of the Hahn Street mixed-use redevelopment project. This photo was taken in October 7, 2015, about one year ago. See more photos on page 45.

Forget the rebuild

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

When teams lose a lot of talent from one year to the next, the term rebuilding can come into play.

For the York girls volleyball team this season, it’s been more like reloading.

The Dukes were 20-9 overall through late last week and have used the contributions of many to carve out another strong season.

“We’re doing a pretty good job,” said York coach Patty Iverson. “We have three returning senior players who are doing a nice job keeping everybody organized, which is nice. And we have some young kids who have learned a lot. What could have been a tough year and a rebuilding

year has been a pretty good one.

The younger players are learning all the time and that’s very nice to see. I appreciate their efforts. I’m happy with the growth.”

Iverson points to a number of intangibles that have led to another 20-win season.

“We play pretty good defense and we block pretty well,” she said. “Sarah Rose (Marquettebound setter) is running a nice offense. Our middles have done real well and have a high hitting percentage. We’re blocking, playing defense and hitting pretty good overall. We have a lot of people contributing in different ways.

We’re improving every week and that was the goal at the beginning of the season.”

York girls volleyball team enjoying another prosperous season

Iverson also has been pleased with the development of the team’s passing skills. “If you don’t have the passing you are in trouble. You need passing,” she said.

That group of passers includes libero Alex Danciutiu, outside hitters Logan Kazmierczak and Sydney Bonthron, as well as Jessica Levy, who comes into the back row in place of a right-side hitter.

Katie Devereux also is a back-row contributor.

At the net, middle Kristie Paus has led the way, along with Molly Evans and Sophia Glabus. Rose, Paus and Bonthron are the team’s three returning seniors.

“Kristie is our most effective hitter, best blocker and is an overall good athlete,” said Iverson.

“Molly has done a nice job and Sophia is a sophomore who has gone in there part-time and has come along well.”

Iverson has received contributions on the right side from sophomore Asha LaBine, along with Emily Schlecht and Levy.

“A lot of girls have stepped on this team in different ways,” said Iverson. “We’re playing at least 10 girls every day.”

York was 4-1 in West Suburban Conference Silver Division action through late last week.

The Dukes played Lyons Township earlier in the week on senior night at York. The Dukes’ lone loss in conference came to Glenbard West.

“When we lose we’re not losing

because we got beat but we’re losing because we make mistakes,” said Iverson. “We’re a young team, but at the same time we’re also winning close matches and I’m very happy about that. Everybody keeps growing.”

York earned a No. 3 Class 3A sectional seed behind Glenbard West and Riverside-Brookfield.

“We are happy with the seed,” said Iverson.

“It will be a close sectional.

We’re hosting regionals, which is something we’re also happy about.

We’ve had a solid season. This is the tallest team we’ve had here in a while. We have five kids at least 6-foot. The kids have worked hard and they get along great and that’s led to a successful season.”

Timothy Christian girls tennis team qualifies three for state finals meet Trojans finish third in competitive sectional; win MSC Red Division title

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The news was doubly good for the Timothy Christian girls tennis team.

The Trojans not only finished third in a competitive Class 1A Timothy Christian sectional, but also qualified three individuals for this week’s state finals meet held at sites throughout the Northwest suburbs.

The Trojans took third with 20 points. Fenwick won the sectional title with 26 points. Wheaton Academy was one point ahead of Timothy in second place with 21.

Timothy qualified singles player Abygale Ahn, a sophomore, and the doubles team of seniors Danielle Beard and Maddie Monat.

Ahn finished second in the singles division. She defeated Walther Christian 6-0, 6-0 and also defeated Montini by 6-0, 6-0 scores. Ahn won her semifinal match 6-1, 6-1 over

IC Catholic Prep cross country The IC Catholic Prep boys crosscountry team competed in the recent Tiger invitational hosted by Elmwood Park.

Eric James took 42nd with a time of 17:22.1 and Casey Kristie took 51st with a time of 17:52.4.

“We have had injuries to key runners and have been pressed into running our underclassmen up,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Jeff Fredrickson.

Fredrickson noted one of those underclass standouts has been Jacob Schmidt, who took 82nd at Elmwood Park with a time of 19:55.9.

“The team has improved on running together as a pack,” said Fredrickson.

James and Kristie have been

leaders for the team on the course.

“Eric and Casey have stepped up as our lead runners,” said Fredrickson. “They are starting to peak at the right time. Even though we have lost some key runners to injuries and other reasons, Eric and Casey have shown to be true leaders.”

The Knights compete in a Class 1A regional Saturday.

“I feel that we can have a strong showing in these final weeks of the season and will advance far,” said Fredrickson late last week.

Julissa Unzueta has been a standout for the IC Catholic Prep girls’ team. “Julissa has been a very strong runner and should also fare well in the upcoming weeks,” said Fredrickson.

York (2-6, 1-4) at Lyons Township (6-2, 3-2) When: Friday, 7:30 p.m.

Where: Lyons Township High School South Campus, Willow Springs Last week: Downers Grove North 28, York 7; Oak Park-River Forest 27, Lyons Township 3 Last year: York 19, Lyons Township 16

Outlook: York wraps up the regular season with a trip to Willow Springs to face a Lyons Township team that was eliminated from conference title contention after a Week 8 loss to Oak Park-River Forest. Lyons has conference wins over Proviso West (31-6), Glenbard West (28-14), Downers North (23-6) and losses to Hinsdale Central (28-21) and Oak Park-River Forest (27-3). York lost to Glenbard West (42-7), Hinsdale Central (35-7), Oak Park-River Forest (34-17) and Downers Grove North (28-7) and defeated Proviso West (31-12). Going back to last season, York scored a Week 9 win over an LT team that went into the contest at 5-3 needing a win to secure an automatic playoff berth.

IC Catholic Prep (8-0, 4-0) at Fenton (3-5, 1-3) When: Friday, 7:15 p.m.

Where: Fenton High School, Bensenville Last week: IC Catholic Prep 50, Glenbard South 0; Wheaton Academy 53, Fenton 7 Last year: IC Catholic Prep 56, Fenton 15

Outlook: The steamroller that is IC Catholic Prep football concludes its regular season in Bensenville against Fenton. The Knights are in search of their first-ever 9-0 regular season. IC Catholic Prep has scored less than 40 points only once this season and registered point totals of 63, 56, 72, 50 and 50 in games. The Knights also have shut out five of their eight opponents so far this season. Fenton needed a win last week against Wheaton Academy to still have playoff aspirations.

IC Catholic Prep’s Morris ties for 17th at state golf Finishes career with 79 on final day

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

IC Catholic Prep senior boys golfer Trey Morris ended his highschool career in solid fashion.

Morris shot a final-day 79 to finish in a tie for 17th place at the Class 1A state finals tournament held at Prairie Vista Golf Course in Bloomington.

Morris shot 40 on the front nine

and followed it up with a 39 on the back, which included six pars. He birdied the fourth hole.

Morris finished with an 80 the first day and was tied for 25th place.

He shot 38 on the front which included a pair of back-to-back birdies on the eighth and ninth holes.

He shot 43 on the back.

Earlier, Morris shot 78 at the Class 1A Westminster Christian sectional at Randal Oaks in West Dundee to earn his state berth.

“My preparation over the summer and during the season is what worked for me,” he said earlier last week. “I went out on the front nine and had zero nerves. I played for my team and for myself and that helped calm me down. I felt no

nerves or jitters.”

Morris birdied the fourth hole at the sectional. “I hit my driver into the sand up by the green. It was an awful lie and a ridiculous sand trap,” he said. “I put it within six feet and made the putt. It was huge.

It really calmed me down early in the round.”

While Morris advanced individually, the Knights finished fifth as a team with a 326, six strokes away from the final team state-qualifying spot. IC Catholic Prep won the regional title a week earlier.

“It’s one of the toughest things,” said Morris. “My goal was to get downstate any way possible. I wanted to be there with five other guys. It’s tough to think about it.

It’s been hard. I love every one of the guys on the team. We have such a special bond. We wanted to do this all together. People are telling me congratulations on going to state. I say thank you, but it’s bittersweet.”

Overall, Morris was thrilled with his time in the IC Catholic Prep golf program.

“These have been some of the best times of my life,” he said.

“I’ve met some great people and coach (Don) Sujack is one of the greatest people I’ve met. He’s taught us more than just golf. He’s taught us life lessons. He’s one of the greatest guys in my life. My teammates are great guys. It’s been something else. I wouldn’t trade it

for anything.”

Also at Randall Oaks, IC Catholic Prep’s John Hoffman lost a sixfor-one playoff for the last individual state-qualifying berth. Connon Leahy added an 82 and Charlie Schoonveld shot 86 for the Knights.

“This is a tough one to digest,” said Sujack. “We didn’t have anyone go low enough to make up for our results across the board and that was the difference. It made for a quiet bus ride back to school. On the positive side, Trey advanced to the state finals for the second consecutive year. His accomplishment was somewhat lost in our collective disappointment as nobody wanted a full bus down to Bloomington more than Trey.”

IC Catholic Prep’s Hurt finishes third at girls state golf finals Senior finishes career with two top-three finishes, one state title

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

IC Catholic Prep senior Maddie Hurt capped an outstanding highschool career by finishing third at the recent Class 1A girls golf state finals at Red Tail Run Golf Course in Decatur.

Hurt, who won the state title as a junior, finished with a two-day total of 153. She finished one shot behind Richmond-Burton’s Mackenzie Hahn (152) and four shots back of Charleston’s Lauren Chappell (149).

Chappell won her third state title (she also won in 2013 and 2014).

Hurt finishes her career as the most decorated girls golfer in Elmhurst high-school history.

At the state meet, Hurt was tied for fifth place with a 78 after the first day. She shot 37 on the front and 41 on the back. Hurt birdied the seventh hole (par-5) and had 13 pars. Chappell shot a 74 on the first day.

Hurt came back to shoot 75 on the final day (tied for second-lowest round of the day).

She had a 40 on the front and an impressive 35 on the back. She birdied the fifth, 10th and 13th holes and had nine pars.

Hurt advanced to state by winning the Class 1A Pontiac sectional with a 75.

“I was very happy with how I played,” she said earlier last week.

“I went out and played my game. I hit some well-struck shots, stayed positive, went for pars and had a few birdies here and there, which obviously helped.”

Hurt was happy with her score after shooting in the 80s at the Metro Suburban Conference meet and the regional meet.

“I was motivated, especially after the higher rounds,” she said. “Shooting in the 80s is not normal for me anymore. I enjoyed the sectional course and played well and played within my game.”

Hurt had a pair of birdies in the round. “The first one was on a par4 and I got on in two,” she said.

“My shot released a little bit and I ended up with a really long putt, but drained it for birdie. It was a great putt. I had the lie and it had great speed. I knew it was on line when

Elmhurst Youth Baseball Little League

I hit it. It was about a 40-foot putt.”

Hurt won the sectional by three shots.

“It was a nice win for Maddie,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Don Sujack. “A couple of hiccups in each of her prior two events resulted in second-place finishes, but those seemed to only increase her motivation. A bunch of fairways and greens plus some solid putting made for a

low-drama round. It’s a special talent when two consecutive secondplace finishes constitutes a drought, but Maddie also has that competitive intangible that allows her to perform in the biggest events, this being the latest example.”

As a sophomore, Hurt finished tied for 38th in the state. She’s headed to Northern Illinois University next fall to study and play golf.

York senior boys golfer Tom Manning closed out his highschool career at the recent Class 3A state finals meet held at The Den at Fox Creek in Bloomington.

Manning finished with a twoday total of 164 and ended in a tie for 68th place overall. On the second day, Manning shot 81 with a 41 on the front and a 40 on the back. He birdied the fifth and 12th holes.

On the first day, Manning shot 83 and was tied for 79th place.

That 83 included a 41 on the front and a 42 on the back. Manning birdied the par-4 seventh hole.

Earlier, the York senior shot a 73 at the Class 3A Loyola Academy sectional at Glencoe Golf Club to advance to state.

“Similar to regionals, no part of my game was particularly outstanding,” said Manning. “I putted pretty well. I didn’t miss any short ones. I stuck to my game plan of hitting fairways and greens. If you do that you can post a pretty good number.”

Manning had four birdies in the round on the first, eighth, 11th and 15th holes. “The one on the first hole was a nice way to start off,” he said. “You never really expect to start out with something like that. I was looking for par. I had a good drive and hit a wedge in. I tried to hit it exactly where I wanted it. I got it to 15 feet, which was a pretty good bonus. The wedge to the green was about 100 yards out.”

Manning also was pleased with his effort on 15. “The one on 15 was pretty good as well,” he said.

“I had bogeyed 13 and 14 so it was nice to get one back.”

York had its streak of team state qualifications snapped at two in a row. The Dukes finished sixth in a loaded field with a 311, 10 shots off the final qualifying spot.

Glenbrook South won the sectional with a 298 on a fifth-score tiebreaker over Loyola (298). New Trier shot 301.

“It’s bittersweet,” said Manning.

“The last two years we went down as a team and had a blast. At the same time, it’s my senior year and I get another crack at state and hopefully can have a good finish.

It’s definitely been fun. I’ve had a lot of great memories. There are a lot of guys on these teams I’ll remember for a while. We’ve had a lot of great people on the team.”

York’s Young steps down as girls badminton coach Will concentrate on assistant AD duties; Assistant Bartolai named new coach

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

One of the most successful athletic coaches at York has stepped down.

York girls badminton coach Nicole Young is leaving her post after 12 highly successful seasons to concentrate on her new role as the school’s assistant athletic director.

The school recently announced assistant coach Pia Bartolai, a for-

mer York badminton player, will take over as head coach. The Independent will have a story on Bartolai in next week’s paper.

“I feel like I’ve done it. I was the head coach for 12 years and had success,” Young told the Independent.

“I don’t feel like I could do either job (assistant AD and badminton coach) 100% at the same time. I also have sons who will come here (current ages 12 and 8) and I want to

watch them play sports.”

At the same time, Young, a physical education teacher at the school, said she will miss leading the badminton program. “I will miss it,” she said. “After we offered the job to Pia, I looked at Rob (York athletic director Wagner) and said this is all real now. It’s going to be tough. You don’t get much better than the girls and parents that have been part of this program. The girls are great and

York swimmers Delaney Tase (sophomore), Amanda Polach (freshman), Samantha Harrington (sophpmore) and Nicole Bednarik (sophomore) recently broke the York pool record for the 200 free by swimming a 1:43:43 against Hinsdale. That time was also good for a first place victory for the varsity. The record stood since 2011.

the parents are great.”

Young (nee Bellecomo) played badminton at Willowbrook where she was a two-time state qualifier.

“You get to know everybody in the sport,” she said. “It’s going to be weird not going to the state meet anymore. I also was involved with seeding the state tournament. That’s also the kind of stuff I’m going to miss besides not being with the kids.”

Young said part of the secret to her long-term success leading the program was the fact she took over a program well on its way to prosperity.

“I took over a great program from Gena Fite (Young was an assistant coach under Fite for several years),” she said. “Gena had built the program and I took her lead. She left the program in great shape with great kids. Now I’m leaving the program in great hands with Pia. Pia is going to be good. I coached Pia when she was in the program here. She has good knowledge and has experience with these girls. It made it easier to step down knowing Pia would take the job.”

Young’s teams won 12 sectional titles in a row—one for each year she was the head coach.

“I run a tough program,” she said. “We conditioned the girls for an hour a day before we started hitting. People joke about the badminton program. My girls were the best conditioned girls who worked tremendously hard. I loved working with the girls and helping them get a tough win or working with them to get to state and have that awesome feeling of being on the state floor.

Getting to state is a great experience and it was something we strived for every year.”

“

I took over a great program from Gena Fite. Gena had built the program and I took her lead.

She left the program in great shape with great kids. Now I’m leaving the program in great hands with Pia. Pia is going to be good.”

– Nicole Young York girls badminton coach

York also won four conference titles during Young’s tenure and qualified either five or six (maximum) girls for the state tournament every year. York finished tied for fifth in the state two years ago with the sister duo of Emily and Hannah Spoolstra finishing second in the state in doubles. The Dukes tied for 13th this past spring.

“People don’t realize the strategy and other things that go into building a program,” said Young. “We encouraged the girls to play in the off-season and the girls that stayed in the program respected the sport and loved to play it. We never went easy on them. I started here as an assistant and when I had the opportunity to become the head coach I ran with it.”

And Young ran straight into a decade-plus of success.

York girls tennis team takes fourth in conference

By Mike Miazga

Dukes avenge several earlier-season losses

CORRESPONDENT

The York girls tennis team placed fourth at the recent West Suburban Conference Silver Division meet at Hinsdale Central.

York won three of its seven firstround matches and earned a total of 17 points in the tournament, one

more than the 16 points it received during the regular season.

York finished with a total of 33 points overall and took fourth overall in the WSC Silver.

“We played a lot of good tennis,” said York coach Tres Heimann. “We continue to improve as a team. We were able to avenge several losses

from the regular season and improve on several results.”

Of note, Heimann pointed out his No. 1 doubles team of Alex Hennessy and Maja Shaw won in three sets against Oak Park-River Forest, avenging an earlier three-set conference dual loss.

Page 40 - October 20, 2016 / The Elmhurst Independent To the Electors of the State of Illinois: The Illinois Constitution establishes a structure for government and laws. There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may propose changes to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in the Legislative Article. The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective. The purpose of this document is to inform you of proposed changes to the Illinois Constitution and provide you with a brief explanation and a summary of the arguments in favor of and in opposition to the proposed amendment.

Proposed changes in the existing constitutional amendment are indicated by underscoring all new matter and by crossing with a line all matter which is to be deleted.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ADD SECTION 11 TO ARTICLE IX OF THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE IX – REVENUE SECTION 11. TRANSPORTATION FUNDS (a) No moneys, including bond proceeds, derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes relating to registration, title, or operation or use of vehicles, or related to the use of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or to fuels used for propelling vehicles, or derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes relating to any other transportation infrastructure or transportation operation, shall be expended for purposes other than as provided in subsections (b) and (c). (b) Transportation funds may be expended for the following: the costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation, including statutory refunds and adjustments provided in those laws; payment of highway obligations; costs for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, and betterment of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or other forms of transportation; and other statutory highway purposes. Transportation funds may also be expended for the State or local share of highway funds to match federal aid highway funds, and expenses of grade separation of highways and railroad crossings, including protection of at-grade highways and railroad crossings, and, with respect to local governments, other transportation purposes as authorized by law. (c) The costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation shall be limited to direct program expenses related to the following: the enforcement of traffic, railroad, and motor carrier laws; the safety of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, or airports; and the construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair, maintenance, operation, and administration of highways, under any related provisions of law or any purpose related or incident to, including grade separation of highways and railroad crossings. The limitations to the costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation under this subsection (c) shall also include direct program expenses related to workers’ compensation claims for death or injury of employees of the State’s transportation agency; the acquisition of land and the erection of buildings for highway purposes, including the acquisition of highway rights-of-way or for investigations to determine the reasonable anticipated future highway needs; and the making of surveys, plans, specifications, and estimates for the construction and maintenance of flight strips and highways. The expenses related to the construction and maintenance of flight strips and highways under this subsection (c) are for the purpose of providing access to military and naval reservations, defenseindustries, defense-industry sites, and sources of raw materials, including the replacement of existing highways and highway connections shut off from general use at military and naval reservations, defense-industries, and defense-industry sites, or the purchase of rights-of-way. (d) None of the revenues described in subsection (a) of this Section shall, by transfer, offset, or otherwise, be diverted to any purpose other than those described in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section. (e) If the General Assembly appropriates funds for a mode of transportation not described in this Section, the General Assembly must provide for a dedicated source of funding. (f) Federal funds may be spent for any purposes authorized by federal law.

EXPLANATION The proposed amendment adds a new Section to the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution that provides revenue generated from transportation related taxes and fees (referred to as “transportation funds”) shall be used exclusively for transportation related purposes. Transportation related taxes and fees include motor fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees, and other taxes and user fees dedicated to public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit (buses and rail), ports, or airports.

Under the proposed amendment, transportation funds may be used by the State or local governments only for the following purposes: (1) costs related to administering transportation and vehicle laws, including public safety purposes and the payment of obligations such as bonds; (2) the State or local share necessary to secure federal funds or for local government transportation purposes as authorized by law; (3) the construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair, maintenance, and operation of highways, mass transit, and railroad crossings; (4) expenses related to workers’ compensation claims for death or injury of transportation agency employees; and (5) to purchase land for building highways or buildings for to be used for highway purposes.

This new Section is a limitation on the power of the General Assembly or a unit of local government to use, divert, or transfer transportation funds for a purpose other than transportation. It does not, and is not intended to, impact or change the way in which the State and local governments use sales taxes, including the sales and excise tax on motor fuel, or alter home rule powers granted under this Constitution. It does not seek to change the way in which the State funds programs administered by the Illinois Secretary of State, Illinois Department of Transportation, and operations by the Illinois State Police directly dedicated to the safety of roads, or entities or programs funded by units of local government. Further, the Section does not impact the expenditure of federal funds, which may be spent for any purpose authorized by federal law.

FORM OF BALLOT Proposed Amendment to the 1970 Illinois Constitution Explanation of Amendment The proposed amendment adds a new section to the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution. The proposed amendment provides that no moneys derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes, relating to registration, titles, operation, or use of vehicles or public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, or airports, or motor fuels, including bond proceeds, shall be expended for other than costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation, costs for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, and betterment of public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or other forms of transportation, and other statutory highway purposes, including the State or local share to match federal aid highway funds. You are asked to decide whether the proposed amendment should become part of the Illinois Constitution.

YES –––– NO

DEE LONGFELLOW PHOTOS Elmhurst Independent

Things begin taking shape

Dropping in a wall

Above: Here is a photo of the Hahn St. project taken February 22, 2016. With the windows and the Tyvek paper in place, it begins to look like a residential building.

Left: This photo was taken on October 7, 2016, when renters actually began the process of moving in to the Elmhurst 255 building. Finishing touch-ups to the outer façade still continue, but the parking ramp is already open which will be a boon to the area.

Above: Construction workers at the Hahn Street project, now known as Elmhurst 255, drop a wall into place in November 2015.

Left: The crane dropping this truss into place has been a permanent fixture at the project over the past year and they’re not quite finished yet. This photo was taken Feb. 22, 2016.

Alleged abduction turns out to be hoax Suspects receive felony theft charges following staged incident at Shell BY

Dee Longfellow

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

In the October 1, 2015, issue, the Independent reported that an abduction reported at an Elmhurst Shell fuel station had turned out to be a hoax.

On Tuesday, September 22, 2015, the Independent received a communiqué stating that an investigation was underway regarding a possible overnight robbery at the Shell gas station located at 654 W. North Avenue in Elmhurst at about 5 a.m. that morning. Police were summoned to check on the well-being of a clerk, who was not at the gas station when she should have been.

Upon arrival, police were unable to locate the employee but they were able to obtain the surveillance video to determine what happened.

Later that same day, another memo came stating that police were concerned for the well-being of Simone Boyd, 21, whom had still not been located.

The following morning, it was learned that Boyd and an accomplice had been located and arrested at about 5 a.m. According to police, during the early morning hours of September 22, Boyd had been working overnight at the Shell station when her boyfriend Brandon Morris staged what appeared to be a robbery, which could be seen on store video, according to Police Chief Michael Ruth. Morris jumped over the counter to remove money from the register, then he and Boyd were seen leaving the store together on the surveillance video, which led police to believe the incident was not only a robbery but also an abduction.

Both subjects were later located in Cook County, where all the stolen proceeds were recovered. Simone Boyd, 21, of Lombard, and Brandon Morris, 21, of Melrose Park, stand accused of staging a robbery and abduction. Both were charged with Felony Theft and taken to DuPage County Jail.

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Faithful Independent reader Jim Herrmann of the 400 block of So. Hillside, came across an old photo from 1987 flood in Elmhurst. With it is a current photo of the area taken by the Independent.

“This is now the Kohl’s / Whole Foods plaza at Rte. 83 and St. Charles looking north,” he said. “The new Chik-Fil-A stands where the Builder’s Square sign sits. You can see the old Portillo’s Hot Dogs at the far end of the plaza. Of course, the new one stands where the ReMax sign sits in the photo. There was a lot of water.

“My wife and I closed on our Elmhurst house in the days following the flood. Our new home was high and dry - its one of the few homes in Elmhurst sitting happily on a slab. We’ve PHOTO BY DEE LONGFELLOW been here ever since. Enjoy the view and the memories. Hard to imagine There are more cars than water in this more recent shot of the same area. There’s been a great deal of progress in that area in the past how deep the water was then!”

And we’re glad you’re here!

First school flood detention spot approved by City Committee In the October 22, 2015 issue of the Independent, it was reported that the City’s Public Works and Buildings (PWB) Committee had approved temporary flood water detention plan for the Madison Early Childhood School site. It was the first Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City and Elmhurst School District 205.

The District 205 School Board had already voted to approve the plan, after about two years of discussion. The five acre-feet of flood water storage is expected to help residents on Washington St.

Park District unveils Playground for Everyone Early in 2016, the Independent reported on the Park District’s plans for the Playground for Everyone. What exactly is a Playground for Everyone?

Imagine a playground where every child can participate in all elements of the design; where children of all abilities can play together; where acceptance, friendship, and understanding can be fostered through play. For many children with disabilities this may be the only place in their lives where they can swing, slide, climb, spin and play side-by-side with their siblings, friends and classmates without having to abandon their usual means of mobility.

According to the Elmhurst Park District, the Playground for Everyone at Butterfield Park is based on inclusion.

Instead of stopping at a facility just for those with special needs, this will be a playground for all abilities – able-bodied children can play alongside their disabled peers or family members with equal challenge and enjoyment.

A special event called “Be A Kid Again,” was hosted by The People for

Elmhurst Parks Foundation (PEP) on Saturday, February 20, 2016, at Courts Plus, where people were able to try out the attractions.

Research on play suggests that there is a great need to provide barrier-free outdoor facilities so all children have equal access to building life skills that are developed through play.

“The interactions that happen at our playgrounds are a critical part of helping kids understand what makes every person unique,” said Ginger Wade.

In addition, the park will contain sensory elements.

“For those with autism, for example, there are lots of things which are sensory rich,” Wade said. “There are things that make noise, have gears, things to manipulate, things to see, feel, even for the blind.

“There is actually room for two wheelchairs to go to the top of a piece of equipment. This means not only can a disabled child take his or her wheelchair to the top, but also Grandma with her walker can get up there right beside them.”

Elmhurst College names its 14th President BY

Dee Longfellow

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

In its February 25th issue, the Independent reported that the Elmhurst College Board of Trustees had unanimously elected Dr. Troy VanAken to serve as its 14th president. At a special reception in their honor held on Feb. 18 in the Founder’s Lounge of the Frick Center, Dr. VanAken and his wife Annette were introduced to the College community where he talked about the school’s future and their role in it.

“When considering this position, I looked at a search profile, which said the campus was ‘intensely student-centered,’” Dr. VanAken said in his remarks.

“That’s what we were really looking for, a college centered around and focused on its students.”

VanAken succeeded Interim President Larry A. Braskamp, officially beginning his presidency in June.

He said he noticed right away that Elmhurst was a fine community.

“This is a school with a strong reputation right in the center of a vibrant suburb, next to a great city.”

On the dais set in the Founders Lounge of the Frick Center on the campus of Elmhurst College, Annette VanAken beams a smile at her husband Troy, recently named the institution’s 14th President. On Thursday, Feb. 18, 2016, the Board of Trustees held a reception to introduce the VanAkens to the community. VanAken didn’t officially begin his tenure until summer. Full story and a photo can be found elsewhere in this issue.

Addison Street Parking Deck opened Jan. 15 In the January 21 issue, the Elmhurst Independent reported that the Addison Street Parking Deck, located at 149 No. Addison Avenue, had opened on Friday, Janu-

ary 15, 2016, and is now open to all patrons 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The development of the deck took just over a year, breaking ground on December 1,

2014.

“The highly-anticipated opening of the Addison Street Parking Deck is now here,” said Elmhurst City Manager Jim Grabowski.

“We are confident that the new 690 parking spaces available to Elmhurst patrons will provide a necessary service to the downtown area.”

The City held a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Jan. 25, 2016. After photos, the crowd was invited to Orange Theory Fitness, 135 No. Addison.

CITY CUTS RIBBON ON ADDISON ST. PARKING DECK It was a chilly morning on January 25, 2016, when City officials and staff and representatives of the business community gathered for the official grand opening of the new Addison Street Parking Deck.

Pictured front and center cutting the ribbon is Elmhurst Mayor Steve Morley, flanked by former mayors Pete DiCianni (left) and Thomas D. Marcucci. Morley was a freshman alderman during Marcucci’s tenure when the project began.

WORKERS CLEAR THE WAY FOR ADDISON STREET PARKING

City workers removed the barricades from the Addison Street parking deck at 7 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 15, the first official day it was open. The structure, which has 690 spaces, took just over a year to construct.

Bank of America robbed Oct. 29 FOUR MAYORS SHARE “VISIONS FOR THE FUTURE” In early March of 2016, the four most-recent mayors joined the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation to celebrate the first anniversary of the By All Accounts: The Story of Elmhurst exhibit with a panel discussion on the vision of the future of Elmhurst. Pictured are (from left): Pete DiCianni (2009-12) who is now on the DuPage County Board in Dist. 2; current Mayor Steve Morley; panel moderator Ken Bartels; Thomas D. Marcucci (1993-2009); and Scott Levin (2012-13).

In its Nov. 5, 2015, issue the Independent reported that on Thursday, October 29, 2015, at approximately 10:30 a.m., there was a robbery at Bank of America, 205 N. Addison Street, Elmhurst.

A female/white subject, 5’4” with a medium build, wearing glasses, a purple knit hat, a black “North Face” jacket and khaki pants entered the Bank of America Branch at 205 N. Addison and produced a note to the bank teller demanding money. The offender left the scene on foot with an undetermined amount of currency.

Dr. Cronin felt the shoulder would heal itself with rest, so they decided to “let Mother Nature handle it” and it apparently worked out. Huarte went on to not only win the Heisman Trophy, but also to play in the NFL, including a stint with the Chicago Bears. He always credited Dr. Cronin for saving his career.

Food opens for business Newly-built facility offers more dignity to clients

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

The following story appeared in the Feb. 4, 2016, issue of the Independent.

On Tuesday, January 26, 2016, The Independent was invited to the newly-built Elmhurst Yorkfield Food Pantry (EYFP) at 1083 So. York to greet one of the delivery trucks, which arrived about 9 a.m. that morning. Several volunteers were on-hand to unload the truck, followed by sorting and stacking the dry goods shelves and the cold storage areas. The facility has been serving clients from the new location since January 2.

“We try not to overload our volunteers,” said Larry Studer, who serves on the EYFP Board of Directors. “We have more than 500 so we ask them to take it easy. They might work Monday, Thursday and Saturday.”

At this time, there is no paid staff, everyone is a volunteer including the Board members.

“We prefer having no paid staff,” Studer said. “All the money we save can be used toward buying more food for those who need it.”

At the intake area, clients enter and meet with a volunteer who assigns them a number. Then they can get a cart and roam the aisles to select food by their number.

There are glass-front refrigerator doors just like at a grocery store.

Taking a cart up and down aisles to choose what they want offers more dignity to the clients, Studer said.

In previous days, they were simply handed paper sacks filled with whatever the provider happened to fill them with.

Studer said the Pantry had received 250,000 pounds of food from Jewel and the Northern Illinois Food Bank over the past year. In December alone, 10,000 pounds had been donated. At this time, they have begun to offer hygiene products like soap, toothpaste and deodorant. Dog and cat food is also available.

Pictured are volunteers taking care of a truck filled with food inside the Pantry’s first-ever indoor loading area. In the past, volunteers had to unpack the truck outdoors and tote items inside, even in pouring rain or heavy snow.

EYFP received fresh produce on Wednesday of every week from May to October when the Elmhurst Farmers Market is held. The farmers would prefer to donate the excess food, rather than pack it up and take it back.

Asked where the project stood in terms of funds raised, Studer said the facility was currently debtfree. The Board of Directors had

enough to pay for the building, including a cost overrun they had.

Yorkfield Presbyterian Church had provided financial donations along the way, as did business, individuals, community groups and organizations throughout Elmhurst.

The message EYFP volunteers most wanted The Independent to tell its readers was that donations – food and financial – are always

appreciated and are now accepted 24/7. There is now a mailbox that is locked so checks can be placed there safely. Food donations can be left there as well.

“We love that it feels more like a real store now,” Studer said.

“We’re very happy to be able to provide that to our clients. Any time we can offer them a little more dignity, it’s a good thing.”

The event served as the Chamber’s annual meeting to salute outgoing Board members, present awards, honor Café Amano as Business of the Year and induct Ralph Pechanio into the Civic Hall of Fame.
