ELMHURST — The City’s Public Works and Buildings (PWB) Committee has approved a temporary flood water detention plan for the Madison Early Childhood School site. It is the first Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City and Elmhurst School District 205.

The next step is for the City Council to vote on the plan.

The District 205 School Board recently voted to approve the plan, which has been discussed for about two years.

The five acre-feet of flood water storage is expected to help residents on Washington St. IGAs with the Elmhurst Park District for temporary floodwater detention on various sites are being discussed.

At an October 14th meeting PWB Committee Chairman Jim Kennedy (6th Ward) noted that

Continued from page 1 a two-week deadline for information from the Park District had come and gone.

City Manager Jim Grabowski said the next item will be him discussing a proposal for temporary floodwater detention on a gravel lot at Bryan Middle School. He said a first draft could be based on the Madison IGA. PWB Committee member Pat Wagner (7th Ward) said the

IGA for the Madison School site was a big step forward.

Grabowski noted that the five-acre feet of flood water storage at the Madison site is important because it will help residents on Washington St. Other aspects of the agreement include the City will pay for the cost of a playground estimated at $140,000 Grabowski said.

“We are on the hook for the

design but the School Board will get to review the design,” he said.

The City Manager noted that the agreement states that any standing water would be gone within 48 hours.

“We wanted a cushion.”

The agreement also states that District 205 can give the City a one-year notice if it needs the land back for a “bona fide educational purpose.”

And You Are…Jacquelyn Discipio New principal, Bryan Middle School

By Jean Lawrence For The Elmhurst Independent

C

oming to Elmhurst after ten years in Naperville School District 203, Jacquelyn Discipio emphasizes themes of long-term goals and collaboration.

The new Bryan Middle School principal is focused on developing students and staff over time.

“There has been a lot of leadership turnover at Bryan and I sense that people are looking for someone for an extended period of time,” she said.

“When I presented to the staff here on my first day I talked about looking at this group of incoming sixth graders and seeing what they can accomplish not just by eighth grade, but by senior year.”

Discipio’s background equips her to prepare students to succeed in middle school as well as in high school. She most

JACQUELYN DISCIPIO

recently served as Assistant Principal of Washington Junior High School in Naperville but previously worked at Naperville North High School for eight years in roles including English teacher, dean, assistant athletic director, junior high summer school director, and head varsity girls’ basketball coach.

“Because more of my background is in high school, I know where these kids are going and what they will need to succeed there,” she said. “When I was

the dean at Naperville North, I loved the focus on students but I saw many kids who had issues going back to middle school. I really like working at the middle school level because we have the opportunity to intervene earlier when the stakes are lower and we aren’t worried about whether a student will graduate.

“Bryan has a great team of counselors and staff that can address kids’ social and emotional issues so they can do their best academically. At this age, doing well socially and emotionally is key to academic success.”

Although she had a strong positive experience in Naperville, Discipio embraced the opportunity to become Bryan’s principal.

“Change is good and Elmhurst is a very strong district,” she said. “It’s a really high achieving group of students who do well academically and in their sports and activities.

We have a very invested staff and I loved the administrative panel I interviewed with.

“I think it’s great that all

three middle schools go to the same high school and I’ve really enjoyed working with the principals of Churchville and Sandburg. There’s great collaboration in the district. This is a place I can add value and continue to develop as a leader.

It’s good to bring a new perspective and help the students have even more opportunity to succeed. I feel privileged and honored to be here.”

Discipio is joined by a new Assistant Principal, Jason Crockett.

“This is the rookie season for both of us and I’m really emphasizing a philosophy of collaboration and teamwork,” she said. “We are listening and learning and gathering feedback.”

In her free time, Discipio enjoys summer hiking adventures.

“I like to take trips where I carry everything I need and even filter my own water,” she said. She also loves running, biking, reading, spending time with family and friends, and anything to do with “The Hunger Games.”

ICGS raises funds for ‘Move Your Feet’

ELMHURST — Following Mass on the morning of Friday, October 16, students and faculty at Immaculate Conception Grade School took part in an effort to raise funds and awareness for need-based Catholic education scholarships. This effort, “Move Your Feet to Give a Child a Seat,” was initiated by the Joliet Diocese’s Catholic Education Foundation, which helps more than 1300 students receive a Catholic education annually.

ICGS enlisted all students in grades 1 - 8 to walk around the school’s neighborhood block, stopping at each corner to say a short prayer. ICGS families were asked to consider making a donation to this fundraising effort.

Committee members have split views of video gaming Healy: City Council discussion on November 2nd could be contentious

By Dan McLeister For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — The three members of the City’s Public Affairs and Safety (PAS) Committee have three different opinions on whether or not there should be video gaming in Elmhurst.

PAS Chairman Chris Healy (5th Ward) will write a majority report favoring video gam-

ing in bars and restaurants.

Committee member Norm Leader (2nd Ward) will write a minority report recommending video gaming be allowed only at the local post of the American Legion to provide revenue to help war veterans.

“We shouldn’t hide from controversial topics,” Leader said. “I have never believed in legislating morality.”

PAS Vice Chairman Dannee Polomsky (3rd Ward) said she would not sign either report nor would she write her own.

The alderman said she wanted to wait and see what happens with a number of new residential and commercial developments. She also noted that the term “video gaming” sounds

like a Pac Man game. Other people call it video gambling.

At the October 13th PAS Committee meeting, Healy said the two reports will be scheduled for discussion at the City Council meeting on November 2, since he will be out of town on business at the October 19th meeting of City Council. City regulations require that the writer of a report attend a City Council meeting where the matter will be discussed. Healy said he expected discussion at that meeting to be contentious; that the vote could go in either direction.

City Attorney Don Storino said Elmhurst could still draw a distinction between different types of liquor licenses such

as ones for grocery stores and gas stations that would not be allowed to have video gaming.

After members of the public packed a committee room, Healy noted that there had been a lot of conversation including previous PAS meetings about video gaming in Elmhurst. He indicated that topics included legal issues, finance and public safety. He said the additional revenue would be nice in case the City had a revenue crisis in the future. Healy stated that aldermen could stipulate that the video gaming revenue would not go in the City’s General Fund but be designated for specific purposes.

Healy also said that Elmhurst is “an island” since most sur-

rounding communities have video gaming. Restaurant and bar owners said that the island effect was causing them to lose money. John R. Quigley, president & CEO of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce and Industry, pointed out that many of these are family-owned businesses.

Speaking against video gaming was Jackie Haddad, a member of the Senior Commission, who said she did not want young children viewing the machines. Haddad, a longtime volunteer and advocate for children, stated the City should put a referendum on the ballot, so citizens could decide what should be done.

Park Board News Here’s what’s going on at the Elmhurst Park District ELMHURST — The Elmhurst Park District Board held a regular meeting on Oct. 14 at the district’s administrative office at 375 W. First Street.

Commissioner Vince Spaeth was absent from the meeting.

PEP, Kiwanis presents $4800 from golf outing The park district accepted the presentation of a check from the People for Elmhurst Parks Foundation (PEP) at the beginning of the meeting. The check for nearly $4,800 came from proceeds of this year’s annual golf outing co-hosted by PEP and the Kiwanis Club of Elmhurst. The 22nd annual event attracted more than 90 golfers.

The check of almost $4,800 will benefit the district’s recreational assistance fund.

Residents continue concerns about basketball courts Several residents who spoke during the public participation segment of the meeting expressed their opposition to the installation of a lighted basketball court at Butterfield Park. The plans to add a lighted full basketball court at the park are part of the district’s 2016 long-range capital plan for the park, which is the third largest community park in the district, behind Berens Park and Eldridge Park. There is currently one basketball hoop in the parking lot at Butterfield Park. According to information provided by the district, the district provides full-court basketball facilities at seven other locations. The park redevelop-

ment project is scheduled to begin in July of 2016.

Two of the residents who spoke at the Oct. 14 board meeting said they took a survey of fellow residents who live near the park. They said their survey indicated that 78 of 80 residents were opposed to the addition of a full basketball court at Butterfield Park.

Another resident who spoke at the meeting asked if the proposed court would be open to anyone, including non-taxpayers. Still another expressed concern about safety at the park if a basketball court is added, claiming that “the plans to add the court were made secretly.”

Elmhurst Park District Executive Director Jim Rogers responded that there had been two public meetings related to redevelopment plans for the park. One of the meetings took place in 2014, while the other took place this year. When the resident asked about security plans for the park with the addition of a basketball court, Rogers said the park district would manage the park to whatever level is required.

Another resident opposed to the proposed basketball court described the idea to install a lighted court there as “lunacy.”

He also suggested that many of the people who play basketball at the park are NOT from DuPage County. The resident also asked if park district had contacted the Elmhurst Police Department for feedback about installing a basketball court in the park.

Lanes for texters, smartphone users sorely needed

W

hile in downtown Chicago, I’ve noticed city streets that are designated exclusively for bicyclists. And some states have high-occupancy vehicle (or carpool) lanes for motorists with two or more passengers.

Earmarking lanes for bicyclists and motorists appear to serve these specific niche groups well, and with that in mind, I’m of the belief that IDOT should undertake a feasibility study that would hopefully lead to the following: Designating one lane in each direction on multiple-lane urban roads, interstates and tollways in Chicago and the suburbs exclusively for texters and smartphone users.

This way, smartphone users who would rather talk someone’s ear off than keep up with traffic could do so and texters could do their thing. Then, if these texters happen to rear-end each other while flailing away on their keyboards, well, so be it. As long as they won’t be rear-ending me!

I came to this conclusion one morning while driving

Sandro Sez...

westbound on the Eisenhower, approaching Mannheim Road. I happened to be camped in the far right lane, stuck behind two motorists who were traveling at an unusually low rate of speed, so I eventually got into the middle lane in order to pass them.

Sure enough, the lead driver was chugging along at a snail’s pace, smartphone pressed up against his left ear lobe, blabbing away, I’m sure, about something trivial.

There are, of course, laws on the books that ban all use of hand-held devices while driving—implemented in 2014—as well as a law that bans what I believe is a far more dangerous practice: texting while driv-

ing (which became law in 2010).

Yet it appears these laws tend to be ignored.

It is annoying when drivers are engaged in mobile conversation, but I really get the heebie-jeebies when I spot a text-obsessed ‘Cyberbot’ looking down and poking at a keyboard.

Over the past several months, I’ve had close encounters of the worst kind with texters behind the wheel. But one incident takes the cake.

As I was pulling out of my apartment building parking lot on the way to work one morning, I made a left-hand turn and noticed a middle-age woman pulling out from her condo across the street. I slowed down considerably because she was noticeably fiddling with her phone and didn’t bother once to look up for oncoming traffic as she pulled out in front of me.

Finally, she glanced over. I had come to a complete stop by then and gave her one of those “if looks could kill” stares. She nevertheless kept right on driving, phone in hand.

it is today. A distance from the house, the engine died and Mom could not get it started again, prompting even more giggling from the back seat.

My older sister had to run through the fields to get my uncle who lived on a nearby farm to come and help. He finally got us moving again and we made it back to the farm (with more giggling!).

Shortly thereafter, we had to leave the farm because Mom just couldn’t run it all by herself, so we moved to Itasca. By this time Mom was back driving the car and often made short driving trips to a nearby store. This required crossing some raised railroad tracks. On one occasion, she had to stop on that incline since the crossing gate was closed. The car started rolling backwards and Mom couldn’t stop it since the brakes were shot. Fortunately, the car finally came to a stop before we hit anything or anyone. Still, it left Mom in a panic.

This incident involved even more giggling from the back

seat over Mom’s ineptitude with the car. With the kind of back seat “support” Mom was getting, it didn’t take long before she gave up driving the Old Clunker and made us walk to stores or wherever we had to go. The Old Clunker stayed in the garage as a reminder of all the laughs we girls had over Mom’s driving, much to her annoyance!

As I look back on those days, I feel sorry for all the trouble we must have caused Mom by having so much fun over her driving difficulties. As I look back on those times, I realize that most of Mom’s driving problems were probably the fault of the Old Clunker and not her.

I now feel sorry for the giggling I did, but appreciate what a dear and wonderful mother we all had.

The Old Clunker

By Vi Baaske Resident, Lexington Square of Elmhurst

In my early childhood years I lived on a farm with my mom, dad and two sisters. The three daughters were named Lily, Rose and Violet and were considered my dad’s flower garden. My dad died when I was five years old as a result of health problems, leaving my mother alone to run the farm and care for three young daughters ages 5 to 11.

Being pretty much locked onto the farm, one day Mom decided she needed to teach herself how to drive Dad’s car, the “Old Clunker.” Although it took a long time, she finally managed to get it started, with all of us girls in the back seat giggling about the trouble she was having, which probably didn’t make the process any easier.

When she finally did get it started, Mom drove the car out into the fields to practice her skills. The car had no automatic transmission – no cars did in those days -- so learning to drive was much more difficult than

As wonderful as smartphones are, when you witness the type of stupidity on the highways and byways—not to mention putting peoples’ lives at risk—it makes me hope this state someday approves doubling or tripling fines for that type of offender.

The going rate for violating state cell phone and texting laws start at $75. How about jacking it up to $150 or $300 per offense?

What is the obsession with smartphones that we either have to be glancing at them, and in many cases, texting every minute or two? This constant preoccupation -- fixation if you will with smartphones brings to mind a recent segment from a radio talk show. The host was discussing the story of a high school science teacher in the Tampa Bay area who was sick and tired of students using their phones in class, so he decided to bring a signal jammer into his classroom and use it over the course of a few days.

It turns out that jamming devices are illegal. The school district didn’t prosecute him, but it did suspend him for five days without pay.

According to one news report,

the superintendent wrote a letter to the suspended teacher. A portion of the letter stated: “Not only did your actions potentially violate federal law, you posed a serious risk to critical safety communications as well as the possibility of preventing others from making 9-1-1 calls.”

Time out for a reality check -if students were on their phones so often during class that it prompted the teacher to use a signal jammer, you can’t tell me those students were using their phones for critical safety communications and/or emergency purposes.

Perhaps a more pragmatic solution to curbing smartphone use during class was offered by a college instructor who called in to the talk show. She informs her students from the get-go that if anyone is found even referencing his or her cell phone during class, he or she is immediately dismissed from class and gets a zero for the day.

My guess is that she’s already been taken to task for implementing this policy because apparently, using one’s smartphone trumps anything and everything these days.

Letter to the Editor Annoyed by ribbons?

Reader asks, what about crosses on the lawn at Vis?

I’m continually amazed at the amount of time, effort and newspaper coverage this “ribbon issue” is getting.

Maybe those who think they are a “nuisance” should try a different approach. When I see a green ribbon I think about a woman who won’t see her boys go to prom, graduate high school, go to college, get married and become a father.

That ribbon on Spring Road reminds me to be thankful I can drive to York High School to drop off something my daughter forgot, and not be mad. It makes me appreciate every moment in the car ride home from bball practice even though I’m being ignored while my daughter is on her phone and grunts when I ask how her day was.

When I see a pink ribbon I think about the heartbreak of

possibly losing one of my girls, and how empty my life would be without them. It reminds me to bite my tongue when I don’t think they’re dressed appropriately or their rooms or bathroom is a mess. Those ribbons remind me to be grateful, for every day, everything, and everyone I’m surrounded by. And maybe it only lasts for a few minutes until I get home, but each one of those minutes of reflection and gratitude count, and when I’m back on the road and see another ribbon, I’m reminded once again, to be so ever thankful.

I’d rather discuss with my girls the significance of a ribbon (faded and/or torn) on a tree, than explain to my then-7year-old, what the word abortion means, every day in October as we drove past Visitation with the crosses and signs on the lawn.

Maybe we should start there instead.

Believed to be responsible for recent vehicle burglaries ELMHURST — According to the Elmhurst Police Department, officers have arrested two juvenile offenders from Addison whom police believe are responsible for a series of burglaries to motor vehicles in the community.

ELMHURST — Each year on Veterans Day, York High School’s Military History Club members and Jerry Christopherson, who serves District 205 as the York building manager, displays 101 American flags along the driveway leading to the school. The flags commemorate former York students who have died in service to their country – ranging from World War II to the current “War on Terror.” Each flag is tagged with the serviceman’s name and military conflict.

This year, the flags will be displayed beginning on Friday, November 6 through Veterans Day, November 11. The public is invited to come and visit the display, which honors York’s own fallen classmates.

The True Patriots Care Foundation supplies the flags as part of their Flags of Freedom events around the area. They will also be providing flags at District 205’s three middle schools on Veterans Day.

York boys soccer team defeats Wheaton North in playoffs Dukes playing well in home stretch of season

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The York boys soccer team opened play in the state playoffs with a recent 3-2 win over Wheaton North in quarterfinal action of the Class 3A Wheaton North regional.

York played earlier in the week in the regional semifinals against No. 2 seed Glenbard

North. If York won that match it will play for the regional title on Saturday night.

“We are getting a lot better results,” said York coach Luksaz Majewski late last week.

“We have played some really tough teams of late.”

In other recent action, the Dukes went to a 1-1 tie with Maine South in non-conference action.

“Maine South is a No. 2 seed in a sectional,” said Majewski.

“Frankly we should have won that game. Fans and coaches said they kind of got away with one int ying us. We had several

opportunities to go ahead early and late. We had a nice performance.”

York also lost a 2-1 decision to perennial power Hinsdale Central in West Suburban Conference Silver Division action.

The Dukes finished the conference season with a 3-3 record.

“We led the entire first half against Hinsdale Central,” said Majewski. “We had a tough call go against us and they got a penalty shot and tied the game in the first half. Then we gave up a goal on a free kick in the last five minutes of the game.”

York also scored recent wins

against Fenton and Glenbard West.

“We’ve been in games,” said Majewski. “We are playing a tough schedule. Our worst loss of the year was against Leyden early on. You wish you could play some of these games again because we’ve figured stuff out.”

York goalie Nick Sasanelli had a recent stretch where he had three shutouts in a row, Majewski noted. The coach also lauded the recent play of senior co-captain Seamus Ward in the middle and junior forward David Knurek. Soph-

omore midfielder Joey Reinhofer was the team’s leading scorer through late last week.

“We are hoping to put a little streak together here at the end of the season,” said Majewski.

“Maine South was a good team and they were surprised and a lot of people were surprised at the Hinsdale Central result.

We came out with great effort and intensity. I don’t think Hinsdale underestimated us.

Our record doesn’t reflect the way we have played the last few weeks. We’re playing as a cohesive unit and we fight for every ball.”

York boys cross-country team wins West Suburban Conference Silver title Hagstrom leads way for Dukes girls cross-country team

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The York boys cross-country team lost a recent West Suburban Conference Silver Division dual meet to Lyons Township.

But when the chips were really on the line, it was York that stood tall. The Dukes avenged that dual-meet loss by winning the recent WSC Silver meet and the WSC Silver title at Camera Park in Glen Ellyn.

York finished with 51 points, six ahead of second-place Lyons Township.

Oak Park-River Forest, which had the meet individual champion, was third with 60 points, while Hinsdale Central, which had the meet runner-up, was fourth with 61 points in an extremely competitive field.

York sophomore Charlie Kern Jr. finished fourth with a time of 14:22.80.

Max Denning was seventh for the Dukes in 14:37.00. Jon May was ninth at 14:40.70, while Tom Devereux was 15th at 14:52.40. Robert Tomaska rounded out the York scoring. He was 16th with a time of 14:52.50. Creighton Wolff finished 33rd with a time of 15:34.90 and Liam Hill was 35th with a time of 15:39.50.

Earlier, York lost 24-31 to Lyons Township in a WSC Silver dual.

“LaGrange was ranked second in the state and we were ranked fourth,” said York coach Joe Newton late last week.

“They ran a little better than us in the dual.”

Kern Jr. won the dual meet. “And then LaGrange had three guys come in the chute before our second guy,” said Newton.

Despite the dual loss, Newton liked where his team was headed. “We have a much better team this year,” he said.

“We’re going to be in contention. Our guys are working hard and they are nice young men. We got sixth in the state last year and fifth the year before. We’re going to be better than fifth or sixth I think. But like I always say talk is cheap and you have to do it on the day.”

Newton noted the WSC Silver again is loaded with top-flight teams. “LaGrange was second in the state, we’re fourth, Hinsdale is fifth, Oak Park is eighth and Downers North is in the top 10 or 11,” he said. “That’s five teams in the top 11 or 12 coming from our league. You have to be on every day.”

Newton has been pleased with Denning’s progress of late. “He found himself in track last spring. He ran a 1:56 half-mile,” said Newton. “He’s been a delight. He’s been really good for us.”

Hill has been sidelined by illness of late. “If he gets going, we are going to be really tough,” said Newton.

Newton added that sophomore Sean MacGregor has been a recent help at the varsity level. He was York’s fifth score in the dual meet against Lyons Township. “We’ll keep him in the sophomore race at conference,” he said. “We lost the sophomore meet by a point because we moved him up. I think he has a shot at making our Top 7. He’s tough.”

York also won at the freshman level against Lyons Township.

Also at the conference meet, York won the sophomore meet 29-68 over second-place Lyons Township. Jackson Bode won the conference title. MacGregor was second, while Tim Stevenson was fourth and Mark Morgan was seventh.

York was second at the freshman level. Patrick Baer was seventh for the Dukes, while Brendan Hill was eighth.

The Dukes finished fourth at the JV level. Jack Gornick finished fourth to lead the way for York.

York now turns its attention to Saturday’s Class 4A York regional that will be hosted by Proviso West.

“I’m optimistic,” said Newton. “Talk is cheap and I’m not trying to blow too much hot air. We are going to continue to get better.”

IC Catholic Prep’s Hurt wins girls golf state title Junior wins championship in two-hole playoff in Decatur

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — It’s a clean sweep for IC Catholic Prep junior girls golf star Maddie Hurt.

Hurt completed an undefeated postseason run by winning the Class 1A girls golf state championship in dramatic fashion at Red Tail Run Golf Course in Decatur.

Hurt won the state title after a twohole playoff. Hurt and Rochester senior Morgan Savage (who finished second in the state as a junior and third as a sophomore) both tied with two-day totals of

152 after regulation.

Hurt, IC Catholic Prep’s first individual state champion in golf, also won regional and sectional championships prior to the state finals. She finished tied for 16th in the state as a sophomore with a 164 and tied for 38th as a freshman (174).

“I was in shock that I won a state title,” said Hurt. “It’s a big accomplishment. I was happy with how I played the whole weekend. I was satisfied with the result.”

On the first playoff hole, Hurt noted her drive went slightly to the left, while

IC Catholic Prep boys soccer team completes first season Knights lose to Chicago Phoenix Academy in regionals

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The IC Catholic Prep boys soccer team saw its inaugural season come to a close after a 2-1 loss to Chicago Phoenix Academy in the Class 1A IC Catholic Prep regional.

“We had a good game despite it being a loss,” said IC Catho-

lic Prep coach Javier Andrade.

“I don’t think Phoenix expected us to play the way we did.

They were a well-prepared team that touched the ball well.

We came out and played well until the end.”

Francisco Monteon scored the Knights’ lone goal on a penalty kick.

“It was 2-1 in the first half,” said Andrade. “We kept going to their goal in the second half but we couldn’t finish. We were very unlucky.”

Andrade was extremely pleased with how the school’s first boys soccer season unfolded.

“If I had to rank it zero to 10 I would give it a 7.5,” he said.

“A lot of people were surprised with how we did and a lot of people are happy with how it played out.”

Prior to regionals, the Knights scored a 3-0 win over Walther Christian in one of the games in the MSC Cup series that features teams from the two Metro Suburban Conference divisions playing each other. It was IC Catholic Prep’s second win of the season against Walther.

“We played well,” said Andrade, who noted his team led 1-0 at halftime.

The game was shortened by

12 minutes due to inclement weather.

Jon Simmons scored two of IC Catholic Prep’s three goals.

Will Lyles tallied the other.

“If you see the scores we’ve played well in every game except we had one blowout against St. Francis (7-1),” said Andrade. “That’s good for a new program. I’m very happy with the results. If we played today against the first team in the first game we played (Aurora Central Catholic, 2-1 loss), I think we would beat them.

We’ve made a lot of progress.

Other people talk about winning and losing. I’m the kind of

coach that doesn’t care about winning or losing. I coach to see kids being developed and every year I’m rewarded.”

IC Catholic Prep will graduate 11 seniors from this year’s roster. “Next year will be the beginning again,” said Andrade. “We have three freshmen and one sophomore who were developing on the team and one junior who will be a senior,” said Andrade.

“The future is bright for us. I’m happy with the results and I think other people are too. The kids are happy, they are getting better and having fun.”

fairway. My irons were doing pretty good, but my short game was really good, especially (the last day). I had a lot of upand-down saves for par and my chipping was really good. I was able to get close to the pin.

I had some good putts where I was able to judge the speed well and get some nice tapins.”

Hurt said one of her goals this season was to try to win the state title. “But there are a lot of other top girls out there,” she said. “I knew there was going to be tough competition here.

I’m very pleased. The goal is always to do better than last year and I did that.”

Hurt reached the Class 1A state finals after winning the Nazareth Academy sectional with a 74.

“Going into sectionals I was very confident with my game,” she said. “I was hitting the ball very well coming off regionals.

I knew I had to play the same exact way.”

Hurt won the sectional title by six strokes in windy conditions (she had previously practiced hitting shots a certain way to combat the wind). Hurt carded three birdies (including her first two holes) in her round and was playing at 2-under par through the first three holes.

One of the birdies came on a par-5 hole.

“I knew I had to play my game and stay focused,” she said. “I knew I had to post a really good score.”

IC Catholic Prep coach Don Sujack again was effusive in his praise of Hurt after the sectional win.

“It was another no-drama round with lots of fairways and greens and a few birdies thrown in,” he said. “Winning any IHSA tournament is an accomplishment, but to run away from the field in two

consecutive elimination tournaments is impressive by any standards. Maddie is very motivated and she’s playing well.”

Hurt is the fourth golfer (boys or girls) in school history to earn a medal at the state meet, joining Patrick Haggerty (2010), Guy Sciortino (1994 and 1995) and Brian Smith (1982). She’s also the first golfer among the three Elmhurst high schools to ever win a state championship.

• HURT

Continued from page 22 Savage’s was in the middle of the fairway. Hurt eventually got her ball to within 5-6 feet of the hole she said, while Savage was inches from the cup. Both players made birdie on the first playoff hole.

“Hers was to three inches so I knew I had to make my putt to stay in the playoff,” said Hurt.

On the second playoff hole, Hurt said Savage slightly outdrove her off the tee. Hurt eventually wound up with a 12-foot birdie attempt, while Savage was staring at a par save from about 4 1/2 feet.

“My putt was breaking left to right. I hit it so well and it rolled right in,” said Hurt.

Hurt admitted to feeling some pressure heading into the playoff. “I was really nervous going into the playoff,” she said. “I knew I had to stay calm and play my game and whatever happened, I was still going to come out of this strong my junior year at state.”

Hurt said it was the first time she encountered the Rochester senior. “She’s a senior and you could definitely tell she wanted to win. She had her team (which won the Class 1A state team title) with her to support her.”

Hurt estimated the playoff gallery to be around 100 people. “There were players, coaches and fans,” she said.

“What was nice was there were a few players following us who I have gotten close to. It was nice to have the extra support from other competitors.”

Hurt’s title win was done in comeback fashion. She shot 79 on the first day (39-40) where she had 12 pars on the day. She found herself tied for fourth place overall, five strokes off two-time defending Class A state-champion and leader Lauren Chappell of Charleston High School and one behind

Hurt came back to shoot 73 on the last day (37-36) thanks to one birdie and 15 pars.

York boys golf team finishes eighth in the state Foley competes in Class AA girls golf state tournament

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The York boys golf team capped off an impressive two-year run by finishing eighth in the state for the second year in a row.

The Dukes finished with a two-day total of 647 strokes, including a 324 effort the final day at the Class 3A state finals at the Den at Fox Creek in Bloomington.

Jordan Less led the Dukes with a 155 total for two days.

He shot 78 on the final day, which included a pair of birdies on par-5 holes. He shot 77 the day before with three birdies and an eagle. Less finished tied for ninth in the state after

finishing tied for 22nd last year.

Will Gunst shot 157, including rounds of 78 and 79. Gunst finished tied for 19th in the state. Frank Wheatland shot 165 with an 83 and an 82. His round of 82 included a threehole run where he had two birdies and an eagle.

Mark Leali shot 172 with rounds of 85 and 87. Tom Manning, who tied for 29th in the state last year, had a 175 with rounds of 90 and 85. He had two birdies on the final day.

Mitchell Russell had a 180 with identical 90 rounds.

Earlier, York qualified for state as a team by winning the Class 3A Conant sectional in Hoffman Estates. York shot 301 to win its first-ever sectional title. St. Viator was four strokes behind at 305. York, which has qualified for state three times in program history (including the last two in a row), also won a regional title

with a 294.

Gunst led the Dukes with a 69 at sectionals. Leali shot 75, while Russell had a 78 and Less a 79. Manning shot 84 and Wheatland finished with an 87.

“Winning sectionals is a very big accomplishment,” said Gunst. “They only take the top three teams and to come out with a win is very exciting. This year everybody on the team from one through nine has contributed in some way. If someone has an off-day, someone else always is there to pick up the slack. It’s been a really fun time. It’s the most fun I’ve had here in four years.”

Gunst finished his round with three birdies and an eagle. “I stayed in it and was five-under after 10 holes,” he said. “I had to make sure I was hitting the right places on the green. I ended up making three putts outside 20 feet.

Gunst eagled the par-5 eighth

hole. “I didn’t hit my best drive, but I hit a good iron to within 35 feet,” he said. “It was a big breaking putt. It was one of those where you weren’t trying to make it and instead wanted to leave it on the high side. It went straight in. It was a big confidence booster going into the back nine.”

Leali found himself three over par after the first three holes. “I was patient,” he said.

“I was hitting a lot of greens. I dropped some good par putts. I had one birdie on a par 4 where I made a nice 20-footer for bird.

We’ve had a very good season and have been very successful.

We won a lot of events.”

Russell also found himself on the plus side early in his round.

“I was four over after four holes and then I started to get things back together,” he said. “The wind died down. I made a birdie and had a lot of pars. I was one over after 15.”

Russell’s birdie came on a par-5 hole. “It lipped out for an eagle,” he said. “My tee shot actually went into another fairway, but I was able to hit my second shot to within 10 feet for the eagle attempt and I tapped in for birdie.”

York girls golf York senior Ellen Foley tied for 59th in the state at the Class AA girls golf state tournament at Hickory Point Golf Club in Decatur.

Foley finished with a two-day total of 173. She closed out her high school career with an 85, which included a birdie on the 18th hole. Foley shot 46 on the front and then improved seven strokes with a 39 on the back.

A day earlier, Foley shot 88 (41-47) and was in a tie for 69th place.

Foley qualified for state after shooting 83 at the Class AA Oak Park-River Forest sectional.

York hockey club nets short-handed victory

ADDISON— York hockey club’s varsity squad solidified its position atop the Illinois High School Hockey League West Division standings with a victory over second place Sandburg High School on Friday October 16th. The 3-2 win improved the Dukes league record to 5-0-1. York was successful despite the absence of a number of players and some early penalty trouble.

“It was a big win for the team,” said York Coach Bruce Turpin. “But we are going to have to buckle down in the defensive zone and play more disciplined if we are going to continue to put wins on the board and remain undefeated in league play.”

Sandburg took advantage of sloppy defensive zone play

by York and grabbed an early lead. The Dukes rebounded

and improved but were unable to get on the scoreboard in the first period.

York came out strong in the second period and tied the game when freshman Chris Lee made a good play to keep the puck in the offensive zone and Jack Redick chipped the puck to fellow junior Nick Lee, who scoredon a wrist shot to tie the game.

Less than two minutes

later senior Mark Dorsey got knocked to the ice in front of the net by a Sandburg defender.

Dorsey was able to fight off the assault and scored from his knees to give York a 2-1 lead.

Before the end of the second period York extended its lead when Nick Lee scored his second goal on another high wrist shot with an assist going to senior Cam Dobroka.

Despite the Duke’s three

goal second period, the Eagles would not give up. Sandburg was able to score early in the third period to make it a one goal game. York fended off the visitors and secured the victory as sophomore goalie Nolan Knupp made 13 of his 24 saves in the final period to earn the win.

“It was not pretty,” said Redick. “But we got the job done.”

IC Catholic Prep cross-country team runs well at Elmwood Park

25-12 in the semifinals and Genoa-Kingston 25-16, 25-16 in the championship. Timothy improved to 29-4 on the season.

In earlier action, the Trojans defeated Chicago Christian 26-24, 29-27 in a Metro Suburban Conference East Division contest.

Dani Van Laten led the Trojans with 21 assists, three kills and four digs. Ava Venema had 10 kills, while Kendra Teune had seven kills. Olivia Hoekstra added five kills, while Zoe Stanton had 11 digs and three assists.

Tracy Westra had three kills and five digs. Timothy moved to 10-1 in conference play with the win.

The Trojans also dropped a 25-23, 25-23 MSC East match on the road to Illiana Christian.

Van Laten had 13 assists and four digs. Venema had five kills and two blocks. Teune had four kills. Stanton had 11 digs, while Westra had seven kills and 11 digs. It was Timothy’s first conference loss of the season.

Reardon had 11 kills, 21 assists and 10 digs. Katie Hendricks had three kills and one block.

Kerry Mulligan had eight digs, two aces and three assists. Molly Fahey finished with 13 assists and 11 digs.

The evening was in honor of IC Catholic Prep 2011 alum Julie D’Agostino who passed away in August from complications resulting from cystic fibrosis. All proceeds from the event went to the Cystic

Fibrosis Foundation.

IC Catholic Prep cross country IC Catholic Prep cross-country coach Jeff Fredrickson noted the boys’ team has been missing the likes of top runners Pat Shannon, Tony Gaudio and Eliot Sexton due to injuries. Fredrickson lauded the recent efforts of Eric James and Casey Kristie.

Morris ties for 15th in the state I

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

C Catholic Prep junior Trey Morris finished his golf season in fine fash-

ion.

Morris tied for 15th in the state at the recent Class 1A tournament held at Prairie Vista in Bloomington.

Morris finished with a twoday total of 162. He shot an 81 on the final day that included a 39 on the front nine. He shot an identical score the first day but had the 39 on the back nine.

Morris had one birdie during his first round and was tied for 16th after the first day.

Teammate Connon Leahy ended up tied for 60th place with a 176 for two days. Leahy shot 92 in his final round (4448). Leahy was tied for 28th heading into the final day after shooting an 84 (38-46). Leahy had two birdies during his opening round.

Morris and Leahy qualified for state at the Class 1A Byron sectional. Morris shot 77 and finished tied for first individually but lost a one-hole playoff to Byron’s Trent Snodgrass.

“My ball-striking was good throughout the whole round,” said Morris of his sectional round. “My irons helped me get through and gave me some momentum on the back nine.”

Morris shot 38 on the back

and also had a birdie on the sixth hole. “It was about a 25-footer,” said Morris. “It was a big pickup. That birdie helped me get a little something going and jump-started my round.”

Morris had a feeling late in his round that he was headed to state. “I made a seven-foot par putt on 17 and at that point I knew I was pretty safe from the field,” he said. “My mindset was only on getting to state and I believe I achieved that goal on 17. That was my best ballstriking I’ve had in two weeks.

I was able to recover from the 90 I shot at regionals and stay confident. I trusted myself and I pulled off a 77. I felt good.

The regional was a tough day, but I had five or six days of practice. I worked hard on the range and on the putting green and that gave me confidence going into sectionals. I had no doubt I would be able to perform to my abilities.”

Morris said the only thing that would have been better is if the entire IC Catholic Prep team qualified. The Knights finished fifth as a team with a 345.

“It’s good stuff,” he said.

“But I would rather take a whole busload. I’m happy that we have representation down there. We have a team of hard workers and coach (Don) Sujack has helped so much.

This is dedicated to Sujack.

Because of him we were able to do this. He’s done a great job. He’s fun and intelligent and has confidence in us. He loves us and works hard for us.

— Trey Morris He doesn’t shave any ends. He does it because he loves it. He’s a great coach. He really wanted a team to get to state. We kind of felt bad about that because of all the hard work and dedication he puts into it.”

Leahy shot 84 at the sectional to qualify. “It was a tough day out there,” he said. “There was a lot of wind and I didn’t have my best stuff by any means. I birdied the first hole and hit a couple of good shots. I threeputted a green and that was the story of my round.”

Leahy found himself in a five-way playoff for two state spots. “I was able to prevail, so it was a good day,” he said.

“I didn’t feel much pressure. I know I had to hit the ball well and I knew I had to trust my game. I knew what I had to do

and all I had to do was try my best and whatever happened, happened and I was ready to deal with the result. I stayed in it and focused and ground out every shot.”

In the one-hole playoff, Leahy said he hit his driver to the right, but his second shot rolled up on the green, leaving him with a 40-foot putt. He two-putted for par. “My second shot I really skulled it, but it ran up on the green,” he said.

“I got really lucky and was fortunate to be putting like that,” he said.

Leahy was thrilled that Morris made it to state. “It was really nice to see Trey make it,” he said. “He played very well and had a lot of control of his game. He was able to bounce back from regionals and played extremely well on a tough day.

He has come into form with his game this season. He’s a hardworker.”

IC Catholic Prep was sixth out of 12 teams at the sectional that was contested at Prairie View in Byron. Troy Simonides shot 92 and Jack Ricobene added a 93 to round out the Knights’ scoring.

“This was a tough day for our team. We just didn’t get the job done,” said Sujack. “The wind was brutal, but it was the same for everyone. We’ll just have to get better when facing tough conditions. We’re disappointed, but motivated to find a way next time.”

Sujack was pleased with Morris and Leahy’s sectional efforts. “On the plus side, Trey and Connon displayed some tenacity. Trey’s round was outstanding, especially coming on the heels of a stumble at regionals. His teammates picked him up last week and he repaid them with some outstanding play. Connon was struggling a bit, but he knows how to grind it out when things aren’t falling.”

Sujack noted both Morris and Leahy had to wait three hours each before starting their playoffs.

“Trey was unfortunate. His drive split the fairway, but ended up in a divot,” he said.

“He got it to the green but couldn’t get the long putt down in two. Regardless, his round was exceptional in those conditions. Connon’s playoff was against four other guys just to keep his season alive and that’s a special kind of pressure. In spite of not hitting his best shots, Connon made a twoputt par on the first hole and earned his way back to the state finals.”

Timothy Christian girls tennis team wins sectional title Trojans make history with victory; will send six players to state

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The Timothy Christian girls tennis team recorded a pair of firsts recently.

The Trojans won the York sectional team title at Berens Park, outdistancing the host school 31-28.

It was Timothy’s first-ever girls tennis sectional title that comes in the final year of a single-class tennis system in Illinois. Next year the IHSA will implement a two-class girls tennis state tournament.

Timothy also set another program milestone by qualifying all six of its sectional players for this week’s state tournament in the Northwest suburbs.

“It’s very exciting. We made history,” said Timothy Christian senior McKenna Byrne, who now is a four-time state qualifier.

Byrne, who earlier this season surpassed the 100-career-win total, won the singles championship with a 4-0 record. She scored a 6-0, 6-0 win over Proviso East, a 6-1, 6-3 win over York’s Sarah Paist, a 7-6 (3), 6-2 win over Leyden sophomore Jessica Minkov and then won the championship with a 6-1, 6-1 win over teammate Abygale Ahn. Byrne lost in the semifinals to Minkov last year. “I was down 5-6 in the first set and came back and won it,” said Byrne.

“This is great, especially for McKenna,” said Timothy senior Ellie Wiener. “It’s a big accomplishment. She’s been here for four years and has had so much success and it’s great to see her cap it off this way.”

Ahn, a freshman, opened play with a 6-0, 6-1 win over Walther Christian and then scored a 6-0, 6-0 win over Elmwood Park. Ahn won her semifinal match 6-3, 6-2 over York’s Maja Shaw and then lost to Byrne in the title match.

In doubles, the Timothy team of juniors Danielle Beard and Maddie Monat, a 5-6 seed in the doubles draw, qualified for state. It opened with a 6-1, 6-1 win over Fenton and then scored a 6-3, 6-2 win over Elmwood Park. Beard and Monat lost 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 to the York team of Abby Brigman and Alex Hennessy, which was the No. 1 sectional seed and went on to win the sectional title.

Beard and Monat then defeated teammates Toni Paterno and Wiener 6-4, 6-0 in the thirdplace contest.

“Danielle and Maddie played York’s No. 1 team and took them to three sets,” said Timothy coach Keith Mills. “They had some great points and played some of their best tennis of the year these last two days.”

Paterno and Wiener, both seniors, opened play with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Walther Christian and then downed IC Catholic Prep 6-0, 6-0. Paterno and Wiener lost 6-2, 6-4 to the York team of Julia Riddle and Claire Meyer in the semifinals and then lost to Beard and Monat in the third-place match.

Paterno and Wiener are making their second appearance in a row to the state tournament.

“This means a lot to our team and all our players and to coach Mills,” said Paterno. “He had us practicing hard and preparing for this. We have a great team with a lot of girls who have played together before.

That helped us.”

Both Byrne and Wiener agreed a key for the team was its play on the first day of the sectional. “On Friday, everybody really wanted to make

it to state,” said Byrne. “We didn’t give up. Even against York’s doubles team (No. 1) that is really good, we split sets. Nobody gave up and we fought the whole way.”

Wiener added: “The level of focus and determination was great. We knew what our goal was and that was to get all six players to state and win the sectional. We were focused and determined to get there and we did.”

Timothy won conference and

sectional titles this season. “It’s a great windup to the season,” said Mills, who has fielded consistently successful boys and girls tennis teams at the school in recent years. “In coaching you are never completely satisfied but this is as close as it gets. For a school our size to win conference and sectional titles in the same year is outstanding. We’ve been on track the last three or four weeks.

There has been clear improvement, which is what you want.

ward in recent times. “Toni has had a strong last two weeks and played solid tennis at first doubles in that championship match against Illiana.,” he said.

Byrne ended the regular season with a 23-1 record. “McKenna has played more consistent tennis and should be a force in the state tournament this year,” said Mills.

Ahn finished 17-1, while Beard was 24-3 mostly at second singles. Beard was 18-1 overall in singles play. It was her third 20-plus-win season.

Timothy went 17-3 in dual meets this season. “The season has gone as expected,” Mills said late last week. “We knew we would be good but knew we would have to juggle the lineup more than ever before. This was done to create more competitive match-ups on the doubles side.

Our singles play has been dominant. We only lost eight matches in singles all year (through the conference tournament). McKenna, Abygale and Danielle are a combined 42-3 in singles. Our goal is to play better at the end of the season and stay focused on goals and I believe that has happened.”

IC Catholic Prep girls tennis The IC Catholic Prep girls tennis team finished fourth in the Metro Suburban Conference. Hodyl took second at No. 1 singles. She scored a win over Glenbard South and then dropped a 4-6, 6-0, 6-1 decision to Wheaton Academy in the finals.

Autumn Gage took second at No. 2 singles for the Knights.

She also faced Wheaton Academy in the finals and lost a 6-3, 6-1 decision.

Three local heroes receive Medal of Valor Officers honored for quick action rescue when car plunged into lagoon

By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

222107

T

hirteen years ago, the Independent began publishing with one mission in mind: to bring you -- our readers -- all local news that’s happening right in Elmhurst and Elmhurst only. We do cover some area or regional news if it directly affects the Elmhurst resident, such as issues at O’Hare Airport, DuPage County or in Springfield. The news we print is

On Monday, April 27 at about 1:36 p.m., 77-year-old Lawrence Morris of the 400 block of Commonwealth Lane drove his 2002 Toyota Camry up over the curb of a parking lot and into the lagoon at Eldridge Park. Neighbors reported hearing Morris’s cries for help as the car sank below the surface.

At that time, Elmhurst Police Officers John Pacewic and Margaret Hopkins, along with Oak Brook Terrace Officer Jason Sluzewicz, were dispatched to Eldridge Park.

Upon arriving, they found the vehicle about 90 feet from the shoreline and almost completely under water. The three officers entered the water, swimming more than 90 feet to rescue Mr. Morris who was by then unconscious. The officers were able to free him from the passenger compartment, pull him to the surface, and ultimately to the shoreline. By then, an ambulance was at the scene, waiting to take him to Elmhurst Hospital When the officers were acknowledged at Elmhurst City Hall, Police Chief Michael Ruth expressed pride

in the quick action of the responding officers.

“I’m proud to say that one of our Elmhurst police officers was first on the scene and immediately jumped into the water to try to rescue the victim,” he said. “A police officer from Oakbrook Terrace arrived shortly after and jumped in as well.

“Between the two officers, they were able to pull a car door open, then came up for air, and went back down to save him. Apparently, they were able to grab his legs and drag him out and onto the shore to safety. By that time, he was already unconscious, but an ambulance was at-ready to rush him to the hospital.”

Sadly, Mr. Morris passed away at Elmhurst Hospital about a month after the incident.

The City of Elmhurst held a brief ceremony prior to the City Council meeting on Monday, August 17 to present Medals of Valor to each of the three officers.

“These three individuals went into the lagoon without regard for their own safety,” Ruth said. “The Medal of Valor is the highest honor we can give at the police department. Most people serve their entire careers without receiving one.”

The officers are scheduled to be honored by the 100 Club of DuPage County, which will bestow the 2015 Award of Valor at a banquet on October 28 at the Lisle Naperville Hilton.

Eugene Pomerance passes away at 92

By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

E

ugene Pomerance of Lombard, formerly of Elmhurst, who enjoyed two parallel careers in business and in public service, died at age 92 on September 10, 2014.

In a note left for his survivors, Gene suggested, “In lieu of flowers, plant a tree.”

Born in 1921 to I. S. Pomerance, a dentist, and Grace F. Smith, a physician, on Chicago’s south side, Gene attended Chicago public schools, then the University of Chicago, where he met his wife Ginny Lus. He served in World War II as a sergeant in an armored division and later as a lieutenant in a signal company of the Army Air Corps.

Following the war, he earned his MBA in statistics at the University of Chicago and worked in advertising and consumer marketing until he retired from his professional career as Worldwide Director of Marketing Services for Foote, Cone & Belding (FCB).

Elected three times to six-year terms on the Elmhurst Park District board, Pomerance served as its president for

several years. He also served as president of the Illinois Association of Park Districts, was a trustee of the Illinois Park and Recreation Foundation, and for more than a decade was a trustee

of the National Recreation and Park Association. He was a founding member of the People for Elmhurst Parks Foundation, served on the board and published the newsletter of the Illinois

Prairie Path in its early days, and was a member of the Advisory Board of the Forest Foundation (now The Conservation Foundation).

Following retirement, Gene returned to school to study landscape design at College of DuPage, with supplementary courses at the Morton Arboretum, leading to work in the landscape architecture department of the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County and the landscape department of the Chicago Park District Between business and retirement, Pomerance and his wife traveled to more than 100 countries on seven continents. Some of their trips also involved service, such as copying from old church records in Hungary, an archeological dig in Argentina, and teaching English in Poland. At the age of 90, he made his most recent international trips, one to the fjords of Norway and another to Amsterdam to hear a new opera. He earned numerous awards and recognition throughout his career.

In 1989 he was named Commissioner of the Year by the Illinois Association of Park Districts, and was honored with the National Voluntary Service Award by the National Recreation and Park Association in 1994.

His wife Ginny, whom he married in 1944, preceded him in death after almost 67 years of marriage.

Cancer scam artist repeats actions in Maryland

By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

You may remember her as Josette Hamilton. Back in 2006, the Independent reported on the 33-year-old mother of two who had claimed to have cancer. As usual, the residents of Elmhurst – helpful as they always are, sometimes to a fault – rushed to her aid in many ways.

Beginning in November of 2005, people drove her children to and from school, others brought in food and meals, they paid her rent, gave her a car, donated furniture and – above all – raised $34,000 via a special fund set up at a local bank.

At one point, however, Josette found herself in conversation with someone who had shared the same kind of cancer – non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma -- a person who “walked the walk and talked the talk.” As it turned out, some of Josette’s “talk” raised some questions.

Apparently, she didn’t use proper medical terms for her condition and the tests she had been given; she claimed she was being treated by doctors on the east coast, whom she talked to over the phone.

Something didn’t add up.

The police were alerted and, after discovering she had also bounced a rent check in Downers Grove, she was arrested and charged with fraud. Officials seized the $34,000 bank account. Hamilton received a 30-month sentence with 24 months suspended, as Elmhurst residents who had helped her out felt cheated, embarrassed – and angry.

Names and afflictions have changed, but scam is the same The Independent recently learned that her name is now Josette Jennifer Silva and she has been living in Elkton, Maryland, where she tried once again – and succeeded -to take advantage of yet another community’s good will.

Silva raised more than $5,000 in donations from residents, businesses and orga-

nizations of Cecil County, Maryland, between October and December 2012, after distributing fliers identifying herself as “a struggling mother battling cancer.”

The flier reportedly provided a heart-wrenching overview of her fight against chronic lymphocytic leukemia, which included chemotherapy and Rituxin, an expensive medication related to that treatment.

“The Silva Family is faced with such enormous medical bills and medically related expenses that it is even impossible for them to meet their basic living expenses,” the flier read. “We are making a plea to the community to assist Josette and her family in their time of dire need.”

Silva, who is now 42, was once again given monetary donations, gift certificates, food, even help paying her utility bills. But once again, questions began to loom in the mind of someone helping her. After a Google search of her name, the curious person discovered a disturbing link to the stories in Elmhurst.

“She looked too healthy to have cancer,” said Maryland Assistant State’s Attorney Steven L. Trostle, paraphrasing the comment made by the uneasy contributor.

Investigation results in more jail time, restitution It triggered a Maryland State Police investigation, which led to a Cecil County grand jury handing up an 18-count indictment against Silva in October 2013, according to Cecil County Circuit Court records.

The investigation revealed that Silva did not have a cancer, a disclosure made by physicians who had been using chemo to treat Silva for a different type of medical condition, according to Trostle.

Those doctors explained that the onset of chronic lymphocytic leukemia — which then 40-year-old Silva professed to have — occurs in patients who are older then 60, Trostle said.

The investigation also revealed that Silva had doctored one of her medical reports — making a copy of it and then adding the initials “CLL,” to indicate her diagnosis, and the word “Rituxin,” to indicate the expensive chemo medication she needed, Trostle added.

“There was no verification of any size, shape or form that she had cancer,” he said.

“Despite the fact she suffers from chronic illness, she clearly manipulated people to her financial gain and, considering her previous fraud conviction in Illinois, the state felt compelled to seek charges and put a stop to her fraudulent acts.”

The prosecutor acknowledged that Silva was sick,

but that she did not have any form of cancer — a word that swayed residents, businesses and organizations to donate to the purported cause.

Cecil County Circuit Court Administrative Judge Keith A. Baynes imposed a three-year sentence on Silva after she pleaded guilty to theft scheme of more than $1,000 and less

than $10,000, as part of a plea deal in which prosecutors dropped 17 related counts against her. The judge then suspended half of the sentence, leaving Silva with an 18-month term that she will serve on electronically monitored home detention. Silva has also been ordered to pay $5000 in restitution.

Two armed robberies take place Oct. 28

By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

Thanks to a release issued by Elmhurst Deputy Chief of Police Dominic G. Panico on the morning of October 29, 2014, the Independent learned of two armed robberies that reportedly occurred the day before.

The first robbery occurred at approximately 5:30 p.m. at Yogen Fruz, located at 275 N. York Road, Panico said.

Upon entering the store the suspect reportedly approached the cashier, displayed a handgun and demanded money.

The cashier gave an undisclosed amount of cash to the suspect who then fled the store on foot. A subsequent K-9 track was conducted and ended on Michigan St. east of the business. No one was injured in the incident.

The second robbery occurred approximately 8 p.m. at the Verizon store, located at 560 W. St. Charles Road. Two suspects entered the store, each displaying a handgun. The suspects moved two store clerks and three customers into a back office and proceeded to take cell phones, before demanding the safe be opened. Once the safe was open the suspects took an undisclosed amount of cash and fled the store on foot as the store clerks and customers remained in the back office. No one was hurt in this incident.

On Oct. 16, 2014, The Independent reported the following:

Hospital’s cupola comes down Neighbors look on as structure is lowered from its home for almost 90 years

I

By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

t was a crisp, sunny fall day on Tuesday, October 7, when a crane was attached to the cupola that has rested atop the former hospital building on Berteau for the past 88 years and lifted it up and over, then down to the ground.

“It looks so vacant up there, now that it’s down,” said one neighbor who was part of a small group of people who had gathered to watch the structure get lowered to the ground.

“It really is a piece of our history.”

A group of residents with a long history of service and support to the hospital, including Lee Daniels, Joel Herter (both former Governors/Trust-

ees) and former Mayor Tom Marcucci, had been trying to find a place to move the cupola, where it could be seen and enjoyed by the public now and into the future. Many felt the new homebuyers in the development should be aware of the area’s history.

Agents from the new Elmhurst Hospital location stated they were not interested in moving the cupola to the new site of Brush Hill Road, noting it is not of the same architectural style as the newer facility; and, moving it should have been considered earlier in the process.

“Saving the cupola was certainly the result of the thoughtfulness of Nitti Development, the Nitti family and the hard work of McHugh Construction,” said 4th Ward Alderman Kevin York, who was on hand to view the historic event. “But this whole campaign was waged because of Lee Daniels’ inspiration to preserve this piece of Elmhurst history. We owe Lee a debt of gratitude for taking the lead.”

Although it was only mentioned casually, the representatives of Nitti Construction did indicate they would be willing to take steps to keep the cupola on the site, perhaps in a spot with green space already planned for the development.

Seventh Ward Alderman Mark Mulliner pointed out that this cupola was

The owners of Nitti Development joined representatives from the City as the cupola was removed from the top of the former hospital building. Pictured are (from left): Nico Nitti, 4th Ward Alderman Kevin York, Frank Nitti (center), Elmhurst Mayor Steve Morley and Joe Nitti. Construction of the development is already underway and some units are sold. The fate of the cupola is unknown at this time.

not the original one installed back in 1926. That one was supposedly made of wood, which was ruined after several years of weather and everyday wear-and-tear. It was replaced with the current structure, which is covered in weatherproof siding, giving the cupola more protection from the elements during the years that followed.

In its Feb. 26, 2015, issue, The Independent ran this obituary

Hospital loses one of the great ones

Bill von Stein passes away at 75

By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

Many of the people who attended this year’s Elmhurst Hospital Foundation Chef Fest held on Thursday, February 19, came after attending the wake for Bill von Stein, former longtime Vice President of Development for Elmhurst Memorial Hospital, which placed him at the head of the Hospital Foundation. Ken Wegner, who knew Bill well because of all the fundraising they had done together, called for an extra round applause during the brief program portion at the 15th annual Chef Fest event.

“He wouldn’t have wanted a moment of silence,” Wegner said to the capacity crowd at Drury Lane. “So let’s give him another round of applause.”

Earlier in the evening, The Independent had a chance to speak personally with Wegner to hear his memories of the man who was often known as “Dollar Bill.”

“Bill had a huge heart, he always wanted to do good,” he said. “He worked very hard for

the foundation, he was a wonderful person to work with and he really cared about people and about the hospital.”

Wegner frequently served as Chairman of the fall fundraising events that used to be held at The Carlisle, which were typically costume parties.

“Here’s the funniest story I have about Bill,” he said. “One year Bill’s date came dressed as Marilyn Monroe and had bright red lipstick on. Well, I couldn’t find Bill for a while -- it was time to draw raffle tickets or something – and I couldn’t find him anywhere. When he finally showed up, he had the same lipstick on his own lips as well as all over his face!

“It was so funny because here’s Bill -- he’s so straight and narrow, all business, always doing the right thing. And now, his shirt was all rumpled and he had lipstick all over his face.”

Wegner said Chef Fest was a tribute to him, that he was very instrumental in the many events the hospital held over the years.

“He was a wonderful, wonderful man. The Foundation wouldn’t be what it is today without Bill von Stein.”

Darrell Whistler, who served many years on the Hospital’s Board of Governors, liked working with von Stein as well.

“What I really liked was how he would critique me,” he said.

“Bill was on top of everything and every time we would do something, he would write down notes – he had beautiful printing – and he was very articulate. He would always go over his notes afterwards and tell me what we could have done better. That’s how he was, even if things were done well, he wanted to make them better.”

Betsy Hanisch had this to say: “He was a real friend to Elmhurst. He was one of the first people I met through my involvement with the [Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce] Board of Directors. At the time, they were trying to get business people more active with the hospital. Then 16 years ago, he helped me launch the Golf Outing that took place at River Forest. It was, he admitted, way beyond his comfort level – because he didn’t golf.”

Hanisch also talked about his retirement party.

“His retirement party was

‘Hats off to Bill’ – there was a coat tree with the many hats he wore – for Rotary, Boys and Girls Clubs, all the things he’d been involved in. It was a wonderful tribute.”

William B. von Stein was born on November 8, 1939, and passed away on February 17, 2015, at the age of 75. He was the beloved husband of the late Marilyn J., nee Donner.

He is survived by two daughters Susan (Mike) McManus and Meg (Larry) Zelenovich; his stepchildren Patty Barnett, Mike Adamle, Mark (Susan) Adamle and Vic (Mary) Adamle. He was the proud grandfather of Kate, Carolyn and Mary and step-grandfather to many.

In addition to being Vice President of Development for Elmhurst Memorial Hospital, Bill von Stein was active with Elmhurst Rotary Club, was a volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club of West Cook County and was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. In lieu of flowers, memorials will be appreciated for the Boys and Girls Club of West Cook County or to Elmhurst Memorial Hospital.

Funeral services were held

on Friday, February 20, 2015, at Ahlgrim Funeral Home in Elmhurst. Interment Chapel Hill Gardens West Cemetery.

Over the years he also played numerous sports including softball in an Elmhurst league, volleyball and golf, which he continued well into his 80s. For the past 40 years, Ed and Betty have enjoyed their lake home in the north woods of Wisconsin.

York student achieves highest possible ACT score

In its April 30th edition, the Independent reported that York junior Kathryn “Julia�

Dierksheide had been informed that she had earned a 36, the highest possible composite score, on the ACT test she took at York High School in March. Julia is the daughter of Jon and Elizabeth Dierksheide of Elmhurst.

Among her many accomplishments, she is a member of NHS, National Spanish Honor Society, Orchestra Board and PRIDE. Having volunteered at Elmhurst Hospital, Julia plans to study microbiology in college, with a long term goal of working with disease. She became interested as the result of an independent study with York science teacher Kathy Van Hoeck on bacteriophages and through her microbiology class with Amy Moss. Her choice of college is as yet undecided. photos: Independent archives

Thank You Elmhurst For Thirteen Great Years!!!

The first issue of The Elmhurst Independent rolled off the presses in 2002. For more than twelve years we’ve tried our best to bring you complete hometown news in print and online. Our mission remains the same, to record the history of our community and feature the many successes and good deeds of Elmhurst’s residents.

Elmhurst boys from Troops 14 and 117 shared a smile before their first period of Merit Badge University. Pictured are (from left): Nathan Moskal, Robby Lothian, Charlie Eipert and Mike McHugh, all from Elmhurst. The program provides the opportunity for Boy Scouts to earn up to four merit badges in one day. Becoming an Eagle Scout requires at least 21 merit badges. Participants select topics such as citizenship, sports, first aid, aviation, music and business, then break into classrooms to work with certified counselors to earn the badges.

The staff at The Elmhurst Independent thanks the Elmhurst business community and residents for their support through the past thirteen years.
