Visitation students walk to support CEF

Students at Visitation School marched around their school and church on Friday, Oct. 14 to raise money for the Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) and demonstrate the importance of Catholic education in our community. It was part of a widespread campaign across the Diocese of Joliet called “Move Your Feet to Give a Child a Seat,” which provides financial assistance to approximately 1400 students in the diocese each year. The beautiful weather served as a lovely backdrop for the effort.

Consultant suggests new wider tunnel for train station

Deuter: Plan should be best for community, not just for commuters

By Dan McLeister FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

At a recent meeting of the Elmhurst City Council, a City consultant suggested a new wider tunnel closer to York St. with an estimated cost of $1 million for the Metra train station in downtown Elmhurst. The cost of replacing the entire station as well as the tunnel was discussed as well.

Alderman Marti Deuter (1st Ward) commented at the October 17th meeting that the design should be what is best for the community, not just for commuters. Pedestrians should be willing to use the tunnel, she said.

Consultant Ben Harber, senior project manager for CDM, recommended that the existing tunnel be abandoned.

“The tunnel is a dark place,” he said.

“The station is not the most pedestrianfriendly place.”

The new tunnel could be a maximum of 15 feet wide but would more likely be 12 to 13 feet wide.

Ald. Chris Healy (5th Ward), chairman of the Public Affairs and Safety (PAS) Committee, said he favored having a new tunnel.

Mayor Steve Morley said that most aldermen seemed to favor a new tunnel. He asked for more input from the Public Works and Buildings (PWB) Committee.

The existing Metra train station was built in 1960 and rehabbed in the

1990s. It serves about 2800 riders per day. Alderman Scott Levin (5th Ward) asked what the cost would be to replace the entire station including the tunnel.

Harber replied, “North of $10 million.”

The cost could be split 80-20% or a 75-25% between grants and what the City could pay. Healy pointed out that a source of funding for the City could be Tax Increment Finance (TIF) District since the train station falls within the boundaries of TIF #1.

The next step for the City is to hold a public hearing in November, according to Cori Tiberi, assistant public works director. A date has not been set yet.

Harber noted that his company had been meeting with representatives from the DuPage Mayor and Managers Conference, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Metra, and Union Pacific for additional input.

The proposed plan includes what Harber called a slightly larger waiting room at about 3000 square feet, compared to the existing 2500 square feet.

A portion of it could be open 24 hours a day. He said there could also be more warming shelters.

Ald. Kevin York (4th Ward), chairman of the Finance Committee, suggested clearing the bicycles in the area.

“It would be highly desirable to clean up the 250 bicycles which litter the area as the City redevelops the downtown, including more than 300 living units planned in a midrise building near the train station,” he said.

Mastro then unveiled a new award the hospital will bestow on police officers who distinguish themselves in their jobs.

IC Catholic Prep football team completes perfect season Knights go 9-0, win conference title for second year in a row

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The IC Catholic Prep football team had all sorts of positive things going on in Week 9.

For starters, the Knights scored a 49-0 victory in Bensenville against Fenton in a Metro Suburban Conference Blue Division game.

The win moved the Knights to a perfect 9-0 on the season. According to published IHSA records, this is IC Catholic Prep’s first-ever 9-0 regular season.

The victory also gave the Knights its second conference title in a row. This year IC Catholic Prep won the MSC Blue Division title. Last year it won the MSC

Council Capsules

Here’s what’s happening at Elmhurst City Hall • Fire chief sworn in At his swearing in Fire Chief Thomas Freeman said he was honored to be selected to serve in a “tremendous, vibrant, energetic community.” Mayor Steve Morley noted that firemen run toward trouble. He said the Elmhurst Fire Department is second to none and that the residents have a lot of pride in those men and women.

• Arado thanks aldermen Marilyn Arado thanked Mark Mulliner (7th Ward) and Pat Wagner (7th Ward) and City Manager Jim Grabowski for speaking with residents about their concerns about the Saylor Jackson lift station site. The residents asked that the odor be removed and that the site would be improved with landscaping. Arado, who had spoken at a previous City Council meeting about safety concerns for children on the open site, said, “We will hold you to your word.”

• Suspension of rules Ben Silver, a lawyer for the Citizen Advocacy Center, said residents were not given a full opportunity to address issues when aldermen voted to suspend the rules so that they could vote on a report and pass a resolution at the same meeting. He referred to a report on a general working permit for Illinois Department of Transportation Rights of Way. The resolution authorized the application for a special working permit for the construction, operation and maintenance of City infrastructure located within state-owned Rights of Way within the City. He noted that aldermen had done that several times on other matters earlier this year.

• Early voting began Monday City Clerk Patti Spenser announced that early voting would be held in City Council Chambers from October 24 to November 5. The hours will be from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.

A win would send the Knights to the second round against either Aldo Mercer County (No. 9 seed) or PaxtonBuckley-Loda (No. 8 seed).

In the win against Fenton, quarterback Luke Ricobene went 6 of 9 passing for 153 yards and had one touchdown throw. CJ West went 3 of 6 passing for 56 yards and also had one touchdown.

Jordan Rowell ran five times for 100 yards and one touchdown. Lazerick Eatman ran three times for 82 yards and one touchdown. Ricobene also had a rushing touchdown. Steven Crady ran 10 times for 35 yards.

Matt Sutton caught a 52-yard touchdown pass. Eatman caught a 26-yard touchdown pass. Rowell caught four passes for 72 yards, while Khalil Saunders caught one pass for 29 yards. Ryan Malek had two catches for 32 yards.

Rowell had 170 all-purpose yards and Eatman had 135.

With no agreement on Bryan School site, City looks elsewhere City delinquent in honoring existing obligation, School Board claims

By Dan McLeister FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

After discussions for well over a year, the City has given a December 1 deadline to the School Board of Elmhurst District 205 to reach an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) on the Bryan Middle School gravel site for temporary storm water detention.

“There was plenty of time to reach an agreement with District 205. Is it that hard?” Michael Honquest (4th Ward) stated. “The answer is clearly no. At least the School Board could have come [forward] with an answer of ‘no.’”

“We should be able to work together,” Marti Deuter (1st Ward) commented.

“While the City is delinquent in honoring an existing obligation, we will not have any further discussion on any future IGAs until the City can live up to its existing obligations by distributing the surplus it’s currently holding up,” Chris Blum said at an October 11th School Board meeting.

“At this point, any delays are entirely at the control of the City. The District has not received the $1.3

ILS to host Trunk or Treat

On Saturday, Oct. 29 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Immanuel Lutheran Church and School, 148 E. Third Street, will host its annual Trunk or Treat event for everyone in the community.

Immanuel school families, staff, boards and local businesses decorate car trunks in fun themes and hand out treats to children during

this event. Hot dog lunches will be available from some of our specialty–themed trunks.

A free-will donation will be collected to help defer the cost of the event.

mittee, called Plan B, an offer to buy land on Butterfield from the Messiah Lutheran Church. This project is really important because it is the single largest storm water detention site, he said.

The Messiah Lutheran site cost would be about $200,000 to $300,000 more than the $1.1 million offered for the Bryan School site. The Messiah site could include 18 to 23 acre feet of water storage compared to the 23 acre feet at the Bryan site.

The PWB Committee report noted that on October 7, City Manager Jim Grabowski sent a letter to Superintendent Dave Moyer stating the City’s position that it is best to have a sale agreement that is mutually beneficial to both parties, keeping in mind the best interest of the residents.

“The City still strongly believes in this position, but since the City has a pending offer on an alternate site that could provide similar storm water relief for the neighborhood, the City’s position on timing must be made clear to the District,” the report read.

The City’s main goal in terms of storm water flooding mitigation is to start a project in the neighborhood next year in order to provide relief to the residents by the end of 2017.

The targeted construction start date is approximately June 1, 2017. The critical path for engineering design to begin in order to meet the June 1, 2017 construction start date, is approximately December 1, 2016.

Elmhurst’s first clown sighting?

On Oct. 15, a victim told police that while riding his bike near Kenilworth and Adelia at around 10:35 p.m., a clown came from the trees and chased him. He was able to get away and the clown then went back into the trees.

The clown was described as an unknown male or female wearing a clown mask or white makeup, average build, wearing a blue and red clown outfit.

Youth declines ride from strange ‘Grandpa’ On Oct. 14, a victim told police that at around 3:51 p.m. while she was walking home from school, she was approached by a red minivan, which stopped at the corner of St Charles Road and Arlington Avenue. A suspect then asked if she wanted a ride. Victim stated “no,” continued walking and called her mother, from St Charles and York, who subsequently picked her up. The suspect is described as an older male in his 60s, with grayish hair, but the victim did not recall him having facial hair. The van had tinted windows, an H bumper sticker as well as a Grandpa bumper sticker on the left rear window.

Suspect staggers out of restroom after one hour; Restaurant staff finds baggies with white powder On Oct. 13, a complainant in the 100 block of E.

Slices of life

Losing your groceries and other marital adventures

My husband and I recently adopted the exciting habit of team grocery shopping – together. We don’t go for many items at one time; I think that would be too much for our relationship to bear.

Our usual list might contain a handful of entries – milk, eggs, bread, pickles. That’s about our limit. We’re still in the rookie league. After decades of shopping solo (me) the prospect of a shopping buddy can be both exciting and terrifying – for both of us. We’re starting things slow.

And still, problems ensue.

A couple weeks ago we went to get ingredients for homemade sausage pizza. This included Italian sausage. Experienced foodies will understand it is difficult, impossible even, to make sausage pizza without the sausage.

Once at the store, we sashayed over to the meat department, found the sausage (spicy, not mild) and made our purchase. We also had a few other items as noted above. Then

By

JILL PERTLER Contributor

we left.

Upon returning home, we unpacked our goods. There was pizza crust, tomato sauce and mozzarella, but no sausage. We looked in the backseat of the car, thinking it had fallen out of the bag, but the vehicle was sausage-less. As was our fridge, pantry, countertops and cupboards.

Somehow, we’d lost our sausage.

We’ll never know for sure, but we must have left it in the cart in the parking lot, making us victims – or perhaps perpetrators – of abandoned sausage syndrome. I’m sure some cart attendant got a good laugh out of that one.

Fast-forward seven days to our

weekly grocery store date. This time dinner plans included guacamole, which necessitated a trip to the produce department. We squeezed the avocadoes with competence and enthusiasm to find the perfect one – not too ripe, not too hard. Then we followed the regular routine. Pay for food. Exit store. Return home. This time we were careful to check the cart to confirm it was void of any food products before returning it to the cart corral.

We were in the middle of dinner prep when we discovered our deficiency. I was assembling the ingredients needed to stir together my world famous guacamole when I encountered the glitch. The avocado had gone AWOL. We emptied the fridge. We searched the car. We scanned the counters and the cupboards and came up with a catchy phrase to describe our situation: “Holy moly there’ll be no guacamole.” Sometimes it’s better to laugh at your shortcomings. It

takes your mind off the pitifulness (and guacamole-less-ness) of your predicament.

We questioned the usual suspects, but none of our sons would admit to eating an entire avocado. For once, I believed them.

We ate our meal with salsa, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce, but without a lick of guac. The avocado had, apparently, grown legs and walked, leaving us green with avocado envy.

Or not.

Because of the Italian sausage debacle, I knew we hadn’t left the avocado in the cart. We may be absentminded, but we learn from our mistakes. That cart was empty when we exited the parking lot. I’d swear to it (if I swore).

And then, damn, it hit me. The avocado had to be somewhere in the house. I set out to find that thickskinned, fat-laden berry. I was on a mission, a mission of failure.

It was actually my husband who did the eventual finding – and he

wasn’t even looking. He was replacing the roll of paper towels. The new roll, which we’d bought on that same, fateful, gone-missing avocado day, was still in the plastic grocery store bag, which contained not only the paper towels, but also our longlost avocado.

Luckily the fruit wasn’t overripe and was still in prime form for guacamole greatness. I stirred a bowlful together and it’s in the fridge right now. There’s only one problem. We are out of tortilla chips for dipping, so we’ll have to make a trip to the store to buy some.

I just hope we can manage to make it home without losing them somewhere along the way.

Youth Commission presents ICCP alumnus Sean Rebound: The Chris Herren Story Fenton semifinalist Community Forum for Campbell Trophy on Nov. 29 will

Prestigious ‘academic Heisman’ once given to Peyton Manning

include info tables

By Dee Longfellow

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

The Elmhurst Commission on Youth, along with the District 205 PTA Council and D205 Foundation, has announced that former NBA player Chris Herren will appear at a community event on Tuesday, November 29, beginning at 7 p.m.

After realizing his dream of becoming an NBA player for the Boston Celtics, Herren lost it all to addiction. He came from an affluent area where he became addicted to prescription pain medication that ultimately led to a heroin addiction.

Herren will share his story of overcoming drug addiction and finding the strength to define himself as a sober man at a Community Education Forum to be held in the York High School Campbell (Green & White) Gym. Herren has spoken to students and parents across the nation about healthy, real-life strategies for handling the pressures faced by today’s teenagers.

Shared in a brutally honest format, Herren’s message goes far beyond ‘Just Say No to drugs,’ as he challenges students to recognize their strengths and celebrate their ability to be themselves. A five-minute introductory video will show highlights of his basketball career and his dream to play in the NBA, which began to unravel when he made some bad decisions.

He will take the audience on his journey from addiction to sobriety, while addressing themes of gateway drugs, prescription drug abuse, drinking and driving as well as self-harm.

To conclude the event, Herren will field questions from the audience. Following the presentation, he will greet anyone interested in speaking with him. The event will not be videotaped.

Organizations providing informational tables that evening are Rosecrance, Linden Oaks - Elmhurst and Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital. Additional sponsors of the event include Kickoff for Kids,

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

CHRIS HERREN

Straight Ahead Network, L. W. Reedy Real Estate and the York, Bryan, Churchville and Sandburg PTAs. The following morning, November 30, Herren will address York High School students in a first period assembly, where he will again emphasize the importance of being yourself and not using unhealthy coping mechanisms.

IC Catholic Prep announced that Sean Fenton, Class of 2012, was recently named a semifinalist for the National Football Foundation’s prestigious Campbell Trophy. Frequently referred to as the “academic Heisman,” the Campbell Trophy honors outstanding scholar athletes for their achievements in football, academics and service to the community.

A senior Information Technology major at Gallaudet University, Fenton is one of 156 semifinalists honored from the Football Bowl Subdivision, Football Championship Subdivision, Division II, Division III and NAIA. Fenton is a four-year letter-winner in football at Gallaudet, the world’s only university with programs and services specifically designed to accommodate deaf and hard of hearing students. He was named to the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) AllAcademic team the past two seasons (2014, ‘15) and has made the Dean’s List four times. Fenton also received the NFF National Capital Region college scholarship last April. He was named to the College Sports Information Directors of America All-District Football First Team for Division III - District 2 last year. Fenton also serves as a representative on the Gallaudet University Student-Athletes Advisory Committee.

The NFF will announce the 12-14 finalists on Nov. 1 and each will receive an $18,000 post-graduate scholarship as a member of the NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class, presented by Fidelity Investments. The finalists will travel to New York City for the 59th NFF Annual Awards Dinner on Dec. 6, where their accomplishments will be highlighted before one of the most powerful audiences in all of sports. At the event, one member of the class will be declared the winner of the 27th William V. Campbell Trophy and have his postgraduate scholarship increased to $25,000.

“These 156 impressive candidates truly represent the scholar-athlete ideal,” said NFF Chairman Archie Manning whose sons Peyton (Campbell Trophy winner) and Eli were named NFF National ScholarAthletes in 1997 and 2003, respectively. “It is important for us to showcase their success on the football field, in the classroom and in the community. This year’s semifinalists further illustrate the power of our great sport in developing the next generation of influential leaders.”

Group that beat re-districting receives funds from traditional Dems ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK

A popular ballot initiative to remove politicians from the political mapmaking process that was supported by hundreds of thousands of signatures and millions of dollars in donations was successfully shot down by group that reported $25,000 in funding sources this week.

The group, called The People’s Map, reported donors consisting entirely of labor unions and law firms, a traditional support base for Illinois’ Democratic Party, led by House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago. Madigan criticized the Independent Maps ballot initiative, saying it violated the voting rights of minorities in the state. In Illinois, the law gives political map-drawing power to

the General Assembly.

Prior to Oct. 18, the group had reported no donations or expenditures with the Illinois State Board of Elections. State law requires any donations of more than $1,000 to be reported within five business days — two days if the deposit occurs within 30 days of an election. The group reported 20 donations of $1,000 and $2,000 increments.

“This group has always been a mystery,” Independent Maps spokesman Jim Bray said. “They don’t have a website. They don’t have a phone number that works. Until recently, they haven’t disclosed their contributors.”

Bray said the disclosure indicates who really benefits from the status

quo.

“These are the people and the organizations that don’t want to see change and want things to stay just the way they are,” Bray said.

The Support Independent Maps political action committee had gathered more than a half a million signatures and raised millions of dollars in an effort to give redistricting power to an independent 11-member panel aimed at maximizing public input.

While it was supported by members of both parties, the Independent Maps received funds from donors allied with Gov. Bruce Rauner, who advocated for the amendment. People’s Map criticized Independent Maps in an August letter calling the measure “a political ploy to hurt middle-class

families and minorities in Illinois,” and saying the measure would help Rauner and his “extreme agenda.”

Independent Maps still enjoys popular support for today. A poll by Southern Illinois University’s Paul Simon Public Policy Institute showed 72 percent of voters polled supported the ballot initiative.

Trial lawyer Michael Kasper, the go-to election lawyer for Madigan and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, challenged the ballot initiative in court. Instead of arguing that the proposed Constitutional amendment violated the voting rights of Illinois’ minorities, Kasper argued that the proposal improperly gave power to the state’s auditor general, something he argued ballot initiatives cannot

do. Along political lines, the Illinois Supreme Court voted against the measure in August, saying it went beyond the scope allowed for citizenled initiatives. Dissenting opinions excoriated the ruling. Supreme Court Justice Robert Thomas, a Republican, said that relevant parts of the Illinois Constitution should bear an “out of service sign,” because the ruling makes it very difficult for any citizen-led referendum to make it on the ballot.

Multiple attempts to reach People’s Map via email, Mr. Kasper, Chairman Hooker, and Arthur Gass Sr. — also a principal of People’s Map — were not successful. The organization’s listed phone number is disconnected.

ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK • Free Pumpkin Patch at 100 South While the lifting of a $100 cap on Cuban cigars and their famous rum has gotten headlines, it’s the lifting of other trade restrictions with the island country that has Illinois companies in a position to profit.

President Obama’s latest decree allows for tractors and certain agricultural products like pesticides and fertilizers to be sold on credit. Before, Cuban business had to be done with cash-inhand and often pushed the island’s business elsewhere. Illinois Cuba Working Group Executive Director Paul Johnson said this change will directly result in business for Illinois.

“The clarification that tractors and pesticides are not commodities and can be exported to Cuba on credit is an

advantage for a lot of Illinois companies,” he said.

Johnson added that Illinois’ corn and soybeans would play a big role in the Cuban economy should trade be further expanded.

“Those are two commodities that Cuba will never be able to grow locally,” he said. “They’re going to be big drivers of the local economy.”

Agriculture experts say Illinois could account for 15 percent of the isolated Caribbean country’s total corn and soybean imports if the 1960 embargo were lifted.

Fully-open trade with the socialist country still looks unlikely, as Obama said in a statement that the two countries were still far apart on democracy and human rights issues.

Serial numbers on ammo would hit consumers, businesses hard: O’Connor ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK

The law enforcement community said taxpayers can expect to pay more for police firearms training if a Chicago Democrat’s bill requiring ammo to be serialized passes.

The criticism continues over a bill from state Rep. Sonya Harper, D-Chicago, that would require each round of ammunition sold or imported in Illinois to have a serial number.

Moraine Valley Community College Police Chief Pat O’Connor is

a past president of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police and is the group’s current legislative chairman.

To pay for the proposed Illinois State Police database to track the serialized rounds, O’Connor said the measure puts a half-cent tax on each round.

“Our budgets are going to take a hit there, and they’re already thin, so we’re going to be in a position where we’ll be paying additional monies

for ammunition to train,” O’Connor said.

The measure also would be costly for local law enforcement, which would need to destroy current ammo supplies that are not serialized.

The idea already has been shot down by the National Rifle Association and some of the state’s ammo manufacturers, who said the technology to serialize ammo is too cost-prohibitive. O’Connor said that

would limit competition, making the price of ammo go up and costing consumers and police agencies even more.

Harper said her bill is an effort to track where gang members get their ammunition.

O’Connor said the measure won’t impact its intended targets.

“Most of them are felons to begin with who are not in the position where they should have firearms to

start with,” O’Connor said. “It’s a felony conviction if they are found with a firearm. They’re not concerned with the $50 Class C misdemeanor fine.”

O’Connor said he understands Harper’s intent to combat gang activity, but said this is not the answer.

“It will impact the average citizen and local governments because we’re going to spend more for manufacturing and possessing ammunition.”

Financial probe of Coliseum’s former manager may involve concession money

“

I did some calculations based on the management contract, and I’m showing a deficit of $447,000 over three years. That’s a deficit of the commission the city should have received based on the concession sales.”

– Diane Benjamin, editor of the BloomingtonNormal news blog BLNNews.com

‘Hundreds of thousands owed back’ to taxpayers; deficit $447,000 over 3 years

ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK

centers around the mishandling of concession money she found through an open-records lawsuit.

“I did some calculations based on the management contract, and I’m showing a deficit of $447,000 over three years,” Benjamin said.

“That’s a deficit of the commission the city should have received based on the concession sales.”

Benjamin said that’s hundreds of thousands owed back to taxpayers by the former manager.

“There’s enough there that somebody needs to investigate, and that’s what I’ve been trying to get somebody’s attention at the city for three years that something needs to be done,” Benjamin said.

“We need to audit concessions.”

A statement from city officials

An independent watchdog in Bloomington-Normal said an Illinois State Police investigation into the U.S. Cellular Coliseum’s former management company may involve nearly $450,000 in concession money.

Illinois State Police said it was asked by Bloomington’s police department to conduct an investigation for the City of Bloomington, but State Police Chief Public Information Officer Matt Boerwinkle said no further information was being released at this time.

Diane Benjamin is the editor of the Bloomington-Normal news blog BLNNews.com. Benjamin said she thinks the investigation

City Manager David Hales said the coliseum’s accounts received a clean audit every year, but that the negotiation and transition to a

new management firm allowed the city to do a “much deeper dive.”

No other details were provided.

The coliseum is now managed

by VenuWorks, which took over in April. Before that, the coliseum was run by Central Illinois Arena Management.

A salute to the final 2016 Duke of Distinction

The York Distinguished Alumni Program (YDAP) serves to recognize and honor alumni who have distinguished themselves through significant and/or extraordinary accomplishments, Allan Tereba service and/or an THEN 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 students on November 4 in both large and small group settings.

This week, the Independent salutes Allan Tereba, class of 1965.

He then spent 15 years at Promega Corporation, where he worked in the Genetic Analysis group of Research and Development. There he played a significant role in advancing the field of forensics by developing new materials, devices and techniques to improve the quality of DNA fingerprinting and greatly diminish the time needed to prepare the DNA from large numbers of crime scene samples. His ability to envision the entire process and then to develop devices and methods to significantly shorten the process has enabled forensic scientists around the world to increase their productivity 20 fold or

“I knew I wouldn’t paint anymore if I had to lug canvas and supplies everywhere. When I saw the art studio here, I knew I’d never have to give up doing something I love.”

Today her works hang in area galleries; her art has even taken her to London, where she earned first place in a worldwide art competition.

Chamber selects Zemgulys to direct member services Tessa Zemgulys, executive assistant at the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry since June of 2011, was selected to serve in the newlycreated position of Director of Member Services, effective October 16, ECCI President and CEO John R. Quigley announced.

Tessa “The Director of Member Zemgulys Services is a hybrid position developed to fill an under-staffed need to better serve our members,” said Quigley, “and we look forward to having Tessa play an expanded role in the essential areas of membership recruitment, retention and services.”

The Director of Member Services is responsible for member recruitment, member retention and member services, along with some office management duties.

“As constructed, this position will dedicate two days per week nurturing our business prospects about the benefits of Chamber membership and one day a week fostering current members on the value of their renewal,” Quigley added.

“I really enjoy working at the Chamber and I look forward to my new responsibilities as Director of Member Services,” said Zemgulys.

“I will now have dedicated time to focus on member recruitment and enhancing value for existing members.”

The former director of membership position has been unstaffed since October of 2014, when Kevin O’Keeffe resigned to become executive director at the Bolingbrook Chamber

“

– Tessa Zemgulys, executive assistant the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry

of Commerce.

“While Tessa and I have done our best to fill that void during the past two years,” Quigley said. “Our Chamber needs to commit more resources to prosper.”

Zemgulys began working at the Chamber in January of 2011 as an Elmhurst College JOBPATH Program student intern. As a 2011 graduate of Elmhurst College, she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in managerial communications, with a minor in business administration, as a non-traditional student.

Prior to attending EC, Zemgulys worked as a real estate agent for nine years, first at Century 21 Classic Properties in Oak Park and then at Prudential Prairie Path in Elmhurst.

She has been a member of the Elmhurst Lions Club since June of 2015 and is in charge of the service club’s social media program.

A native of Forestville, New York, Zemgulys is an 18-year resident of Elmhurst. A mother of three, she has a daughter and son who attend York High School and a son at college in Nashville.

Beam collapses at State Fairgrounds’ Coliseum Byproduct of years of neglect, failure to address repairs, spokeswoman says

ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK

The collapse of a beam inside the Coliseum at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield is an example of how the state’s failure to address structural problems is coming home to roost.

The Illinois Department of Agriculture said a beam inside the 115-year-old building became partially displaced, and the building was cordoned off. While there were no injuries, two planned events were moved to other locations.

“This is unfortunately the product of years of neglect by previous administrations to address the need

for repairs on the fairgrounds,” Fairgrounds spokeswoman Rebecca Clark said.

Republican state Rep. Tim Butler, R-Springfield, said he’s frustrated that his legislative measure and others over the years to create a foundation to generate private donations for upkeep had been ignored by Democratic leadership.

“Rep. Raymond Poe, when he was in the legislature and is now the director of the Department of Ag, had a bill out there for I know at least one or two sessions of the General Assembly that the speaker (Michael Madigan, D-Chicago) continued to

ignore as well,” Butler said.

A foundation was launched over the summer to generate donations to address more than $180 million in deferred maintenance.

John Slayton is a member of the foundation. He doesn’t have a title yet as the group finalizes its bylaws and works to secure nonprofit status from the IRS. That could take months, which has just proven to be too late to address much-needed upkeep at the fairgrounds.

Slayton said the structural problems at the fairgrounds’ Coliseum are a microcosm of the state’s over-

all structural problems.

“You ignore things, and they tend to get worse over time.”

Slayton said he’s glad the partial collapse didn’t happen during the fair this past summer. Slayton also said other buildings on the fairgrounds also will probably have to undergo safety inspections.

Butler said the fairgrounds’ structural problems just elicit more of the same from Democratic leaders in Springfield.

“We have serious financial problems in this state, and we’re not going to solve them by just raising revenue, just raising taxes,” Butler said.

“That is not the way to do it.”

“

You ignore things, and they tend to get worse over time.”

– John Slaton, member of foundation launched to generate donations to address more than $180 million in deferred maintenance

Butler said the foundation is a way to generate private money for fairgrounds upkeep, instead of putting the burden on taxpayers.

State looking to recover up to $450 million in unemployment overpayments ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK

Pearl Harbor: A Day That Will Live in Infamy This year marks the 75th Anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor. On that day, the United States was suddenly and deliberately surprise-attacked by Japanese Naval and Air Forces and then thrust from isolationism into World War II. Suffering a devastating naval loss in a little over one hour and fifty minutes, the United States now had the catastrophic record of more losses in less than two hours than its entire naval losses in World War I. Join us to hear historian Jim Gibbons present this enticing story of Pearl Harbor. Please RSVP, light refreshments will be served.

The State of Illinois is trying to figure out how much of the $450 million in unemployment overpayments the state can collect, but officials are also trying to reassure taxpayers the state won’t let it happen again.

Illinois Department of Employment Security spokesman Bob Gough said no one was keeping track of unemployment payments for the last few years of former Gov. Pat Quinn’s term.

Gough said the state paid out more than $700 million to people who shouldn’t have collected unemployment checks.

“We only claimed about $264 million of the $714 million in overpayments,” he said. “We are currently

assessing how much of that we can go back and retrieve.”

Gough said there are some cases of true fraud, but he said most overpayments were mistakes on the state’s part or because workers didn’t let anyone know they got a new job.

He said the real savings will be going forward.

“We are now requiring employers of 25 workers or more to report payroll with their monthly unemployment insurance tax payments so we can identify new hires and crosscheck those with the unemployment benefit list,” Gough said.

The Associated Press said Illinois was the worst state in the nation for recovering unemployment overpayments.

County reminds residents: coyotes more prevalent in winter The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County reminds residents that coyote sightings may increase between now and February as young leave their parents in search of mates and territories to call their own.

People may see more coyotes in winter because there’s less vegetation, giving them fewer places to hide, and more snow, making animals easier to spot. A rise in sightings doesn’t necessarily mean a rise in the county’s coyote population, though.

Some coyotes have become comfortable around humans and may be more brazen and less likely to shy away. If a coyote does appear bold, “remain confident, and wave your arms and make loud, intimidating noises,” said Dan Thompson, a Forest Preserve ecologist.

For people with pets, there are additional recommendations.

“Follow forest preserve regulations and keep your pets leashed when you’re in a preserve,” said Thompson. “It’s smart to stay with your dog and keep it on a leash in your backyard, too. It’s uncommon, but coyotes can target dogs, not necessarily for food but to eliminate animals they think are competing for space. Smaller dogs that bark at other dogs seem to elicit this kind of response the most. This behavior in essence is challenging coyotes or other dogs to a fight.”

A hungry coyote is going to be more interested in unsecured garbage cans, pet food, open compost piles, and bird feeders or fallen fruit under trees and shrubs, Thompson said. Keeping yards clean can limit these attractants.

Of course it also helps to remember that coyotes are an important component of the ecological community.

York’s Shaw and Hennessy compete at girls tennis state meet IC Catholic Prep boys soccer team wins playoff game

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York girls tennis doubles team of Alex Hennessy and Maja Shaw went 2-2 at the recent Class 2A state finals meet held at various locations around the Northwest suburbs.

Hennessy and Shaw opened the tournament with a 6-3, 7-6 (5) victory over the Batavia team of Julianne Robinson and Maddie Durso. They then dropped a 6-3, 6-0 match to the Barrington team of Sara Amano and Nidhi Jha. Hennessy and Shaw came back to defeat the Homewood-Flossmoor team of Lauren Parker and Jane Wenckus by a 7-5, 5-7, 10-8 count before losing to the Neuqua Valley team of Hanna Beck and Hannah Neuman 1-6, 6-3, 11-9 in the third round of the consolation bracket.

Hennessy and Shaw advanced to state by placing fourth in the doubles division at the Class 2A Lyons Township sectional.

Shaw (23-17 in 2016) and Hennessy (22-17 in 2016) each qualified for their second state tournament.

Shaw qualified as a singles player in 2015, while Hennessy qualified in doubles in 2015 with graduated partner Abby Brigman.

“Maja and Alex really stepped up in the qualifying round against Downers Grove North,” noted York coach Tres Heimann. “Downers North put their best two players into doubles and played a different formation than we are used to seeing.

Maja and Alex adjusted very well and were able to pull through very well in the first-set tiebreaker and played with a lot of confidence in the second set. They were able to put the ball away very well throughout the match and that proved to be the dif-

ference. I am very happy to see two seniors end their career competing in the state tournament.”

York finished fourth in the sectional with 12 points behind champion Hinsdale Central, Lyons and Hinsdale South.

In singles, freshmen Melissa Cartis (18-14) and Cate Duhig (20-16) competed well for the Dukes.

“Cate and Melissa completed excellent first seasons on the varsity,” said Heimann.

“Both rained valuable experience this season playing in the top-two singles spots for us. Having winning records at those two spots, especially in your first year on varsity, with the schedule we play is a very impressive feat. They both have excellent potential as tennis players and I am very excited to see what they can do in the coming years.”

Also in doubles, Liz Mazzocco (18-11) and Julia Riddle (17-14) wrapped up their season.

“We will miss both these seniors.

They worked very hard and led by example throughout the season,” said Heimann.

Hennessy and Shaw beat Downers Grove South 6-2, 6-3 in the opener and defeated Downers Grove North 7-6 (3), 6-1 in the second match.

They lost to Hinsdale Central in the semifinals and Lyons Township in the third-place match.

Riddle and Mazzocco dropped decisions to Glenbard East and Lyons Township at the sectional.

Cartis won 6-0, 6-2 against Downers Grove North in her first match and then dropped a contest to Hinsdale South in her second match.

Duhig defeated Proviso West 6-0, 6-0 in her opener and then lost to Hinsdale Central standout Olivia

Oosterbaan in her second match.

In terms of win-loss records, Shaw led the team with a 23-15 record.

Alexsina Jovic finished with a 22-8 mark. Hennessy finished 22-17.

Duhig finished 20-16. Isabella Nicoli finished 19-11, while Jacki Riek also was 19-11. Lauren Fonorow was 18-11, while Cartis was 18-14. Mazzocco was 18-11.

Cameron Elsey was 17-5 and Riddle was 17-14.

Jessica Paist was 15-9, while

Cristina Gamboa was 15-11. Allison Stramel was 14-9. Mei Giuffre was 14-10 and Elysia Woodward was 1413. Eva Jacobsthal also had 14 wins, while Olivia Brunke had 12 wins.

IC Catholic Prep boys soccer The IC Catholic Prep boys soccer team won its Class 1A regional quarterfinal game by a 7-3 count of Chicago Noble Rouner.

Alex Meurer had four goals, while Jack Fowler had two goals and Fran-

cisco Monteon had a goal.

The Knights then dropped a 7-0 decision to St. Joseph in the regional semifinals.

Timothy Christian boys soccer The Timothy Christian boys soccer team dropped a 3-0 game to Marmion Academy in the regional semifinals of the Class 2A Fenton regional in Bensenville and was eliminated from the state tournament.

York football team ends season with loss to Lyons Township Dukes finish campaign with 2-7 mark

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York football team concluded its 2016 season with a 38-0 loss to Lyons Township in a West Suburban Conference Silver Division game.

The Dukes finished the season 2-7 overall and 1-5 in WSC Silver Division play. Lyons advanced to the playoffs with a 7-2 record (4-2 in WSC Silver play).

Of note, York, by far, finished with

the most playoff points of any team in either the West Suburban Conference Gold or Silver divisions. Playoff points are the total number of wins of a team’s nine regular-season opponents— a statistic that can be translated into strength of schedule.

York finished with 55 playoff points with 37 of those coming from the top four teams in the Silver Division who all had 7-2 records or higher. The highest Gold Division point total was Morton with 45. Leyden won the Gold conference and had 30 playoff points. The highest Silver Division total behind York was Proviso West’s 47 points. Proviso went 1-8.

Charlie Kern Jr. won the individual regional title with a time of 15:01.

Junior Sean MacGregor was second in 15:10, while junior Jackson Bode was seventh in 15:20. Senior Liam Hill finished 16th with a time of 15:38. Freshman Ethan Kern was 18th in 15:40. Junior Danny Honquest took 30th in 16:06 and

Timothy Christian’s Monat and Beard compete at state doubles tournament Seniors qualify for state for second year in a row

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Timothy Christian girls tennis doubles team of Danielle Beard and Maddie Monat went 2-2 at the recent Class 1A state finals tournament held at various locations in the Northwest suburbs.

Beard and Monat opened play with a 6-3, 6-2 win over team from Rockford Boylan. They then dropped a 6-0, 6-3 contest to Effingham St. Anthony. Beard and Monat came back to record a 6-1, 6-4 win over a team from Chicago University High and then lost 6-1, 6-3 to a team from Casey-Westfield.

“We did really well,” said Monat.

“Our first day was definitely better than our second day. We pushed through it and had energy, which was very important. On the first day we had more confidence and we played better. We were more mentally awake. We didn’t underestimate teams and we hustled. On the second day we kind of got down on ourselves a little and were too hard on ourselves. We tend to do worse when we worry instead of just doing our best.”

Beard added: “Overall, We had a lot of team work and collaboration going on. We were communicating with each other and staying positive and not giving up. We were only worrying about the games coming up next and forgetting about the past.”

Monat enjoyed her time playing with Beard. The two also qualified for state last year.

“I loved playing with Danielle,” she said. “We’ve been playing together for a while. We definitely improved with our skill and we got to know each other even better and learned about or strengths and weak-

nesses and worked with that.”

Beard said the doubles team worked so well together because of the different skills it brought to the table. “Maddie is stronger at the net and I’m stronger on the baseline,” she explained. “We also played last year with each other. It’s like two opposites connecting. That helps during the game because we know each other’s strengths. We worked together and we encouraged each other in a positive way.”

Monat and Beard were part of another successful Timothy Christian team that won the Metro Suburban Conference Red Division title.

“This year was awesome,” said Monat. “We lost a few starters from last year, so it was kind of iffy in the beginning how we would be. We did really well and probably did just as good as last year in my opinion.”

Beard also thoroughly enjoyed her time on the court this season. “This team, it’s been one of the best years I’ve been part of,” she said. “We all got along real well. A team tends to make sense when you can relate. We had a lot of people step up this season. We had great team players who encouraged each other and made sure we had a good season. We had some new players on the team that were playing for the first time and they enjoyed tennis because we encouraged them to do it and wanted them to play.”

As for their futures, Monat said she would like to study to become a physician’s assistant and is looking into colleges such as Loyola, Butler and Iowa. Beard is looking into a business and accounting track at the next level and is interested in studying in places such as the University of Tampa (her first choice) and Northern Illinois (where she’s already been accepted). Beard also noted she has a couple irons in the fire in terms of playing tennis at the next level with several smaller instate colleges.

Hill was 23rd in 17:30.9. Pierre Cuyeu was 27th in 17:56.0. Danny Chrisman was 28th in 18:03.5 York won the freshman meet with 40 points. Klysh won the freshman conference title with a time of 16:32.1. Aidan Moran was sixth in 17:17.9. Brian Pratt was eighth in 17:28.8. Will Yasdick was 10th in 17:33.0. Michael McKenna was 15th in 17:51.6.

In the junior-varsity race, York was fourth with 84 points. Honquest led the way. He finished ninth in 16:25.

York girls cross country The York girls cross-country team placed third at the Class 3A Lake Park regional and earned a spot in

Saturday’s sectional race.

York was third with 67 team points.

Sophomore Sarah May placed sixth to lead York. She ran the course in 17:54. Junior Katherine Tomaska was 11th with a time of 18:41. Junior Erin Davies was 13th with a time of 18:46. Freshman Maya Curry was 16th in 18:53. Sophomore Anna Morley was 21st in 19:04.

Senior Bridget Berger was 22nd in 19:06 and senior Julie Biggins was 26th in 19:11.

At the conference meet, York was fourth with 83 points. May was fifth individually with a time of 18:05.9.

Erin Davies, a senior, was 12th at 18:49.1. Tomaska finished 19th in 19:19.7. Berger was 24th in 19:27.4.

Biggins was 24th in 19:27.4. Curry placed 26th in 19:32.9, while Morley was 34th in 20:03.8.

The York sophomore team took third at the WSC Silver meet with 68 points.

Franseca Mordini was 10th in 20:01.1. Margaret Clink was 11th in 20:03.8. Lydia Hickey was 14th in 20:08.0.

Sarah Pinkowski was 16th in 20:14.7, while CeCe Stumph was 17th in 20:20.8. Sarah Gutierrez was 25th in 20:32.8. Haley Grane was 26th in 20:34.5.

The Dukes took second in the junior-varsity meet with 53 points.

Megan McGreel was third in 20:13.1, while Jackie Biggins was fourth in 20:23.7.

Timothy Christian’s Ahn advances to consolation semifinals at state tennis meet Sophomore is playing two varsity sports this fall

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Last year at the girls state finals tennis meet, Timothy Christian’s Abygale Ahn went 1-2.

A year later, Ahn did a little bit better than that.

Actually, a lot better. Ahn went 5-2 at this year’s state meet, advancing all the way to the semifinals of the Class 1A consolation bracket.

Ahn opened the tournament with a 6-0, 6-3 win over Antioch and then scored a 6-0, 6-2 win over Olney Richland County. Ahn lost to Rockford Boylan in the third round.

But she came back to run off three wins in a row, beating Southland College Prep Charter 6-0, 6-0, Morris 6-1, 6-2 and Chicago UNO/Rogers Park 6-3, 2-6, 10-8. Ahn was eliminated in the semifinals by Rockford Boylan’s Ana Hatfield, the same player she lost to in the third round of the main draw. This time, Hatfield only won by counts of 6-3, 7-6 (3).

“It was a really great experience,” said Ahn. “I was able to stay on my game throughout the tournament most of the time and that helped me win. I won so many more matches than last year.”

Ahn said she saw several differences in her game this year at state. “I was more aggressive than last year,” she said. “I moved the ball around more. I was more motivated this year. Last year motivated me to want to perform better this year.”

Ahn said her tiebreaker win against UNO/ Rogers Park was the win she is most proud of in the tournament. “I’m proud of myself that I did not give up and stuck with it until the end,” said Ahn. “I’m very happy with the way I played this year. It helped me see the progress I’ve made since last year.”

Ahn isn’t quite done with fall sports yet, though.

Throughout the season, Ahn has been splitting her time between the Timothy girls tennis team and the Trojans’ varsity girls volleyball team where she is a defensive specialist that helped the team win another conference title and enjoy another 30-win season.

“Playing both sports has gone really well,” she said. “I definitely could not have done this without both coaches (Keith Mills, tennis, and Scott Piersma, volleyball) being so understanding and very flexible.

They helped make my schedule balanced, otherwise it would be very stressful. They’ve made it so much easier.”

Ahn said the key with playing two sports and managing class work is time management. “I focus on things. When I have the time, I make sure I use the time accordingly. I also make sure I always know what is going on so I can plan ahead.”

Mills was thrilled with Ahn’s tennis progress this season.

“Abygale is playing at a very high level,” he said. “Her game has a little bit of everything in it and that throws off opponents. She keeps mixing it up as much as possible. She’s playing great tennis.

I’m proud of her. She’s playing high-school varsity volleyball on top of this. She had a good year in tennis and she’s only a sophomore.”

“

I definitely could not have done this without both coaches (Keith Mills, tennis, and Scott Piersma, volleyball) being so understanding and very flexible. They helped make my schedule balanced, otherwise it would be very stressful. They’ve made it so much easier.”

Timothy Christian girls volleyball team wins conference title

Trojans continue recent string of successes

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Conference titles have become the norm of late for the Timothy Christian girls volleyball team.

The Trojans wrapped up the Metro Suburban Conference Red Division title with a recent three-set win over Chicago Christian.

“It was an exciting match and another three-setter against Chicago Christian,” said Timothy Christian coach Scott Piersma. “It was a great atmosphere. We had a ton of fans and kids and Chicago Christian travels well. They had tons of parents and students as well.”

Piersma noted the match was back and forth throughout. “We dominated the first set and took control from

the start,” he said. “The second set we may have eased up a little. We still were playing good volleyball, but Chicago Christian put together a three- or four-point push and held us at bay. We refocused and got back at it. They made another push and fought back. Chicago Christian played well against us.”

It was Timothy’s first outright championship since 2011 and sixth in a row where it has either won or shared the title.

“It’s been quite a run,” said Piersma.

Piersma noted the team changed one major thing coming out of the recent Plano tournament where it took fourth place.

“We probably could have won the Plano tournament, but we stopped having fun,” he said. “We made sure we had a good time against Chicago Christian. We played great defense and had some good blocks and made quite a few important digs. We frus-

Week 10 Preview St. Joseph-Ogden (5-4) at IC Catholic Prep (9-0) What: First round of the Class 3A state football playoffs When: Friday or Saturday (check IHSA.org for exact date and time) Where: Lewis Stadium at Plunkett Athletic Complex, Elmhurst Seeds: St. Joe-Ogden is the No. 16 seed in the top half of the Class 3A bracket. IC Catholic Prep is the No. 1 seed.

Outlook: St. Joseph-Ogden will make the 2-plus-hour bus ride north from the Champaign area to face a dominant IC Catholic Prep team that went 9-0 in the regular season, shutting out six of its nine opponents and scoring 468 points in nine games (giving up only 66). In its last three games, IC Catholic Prep has outscored the opposition 149-0.

St. Joseph-Ogden, out of the Okaw Valley Conference, recorded wins against teams with records of 4-5, 1-8, 0-9, 3-6 and 2-7 (none with winning records). It’s four losses came against teams with records of 9-0, 6-3, 9-0, 7-2.

Up next: The winner faces the winner of No. 8 seed Paxton-BuckleyLoda and No. 9 seed Aledo Mercer County. If IC Catholic Prep and Mercer County win, the Knights will hit the road to Aledo in the second round. If PBL wins, the Knights stay home based on both teams having hosted and the Knights having the higher seed.

trated them with our quick defense.

We had fun and that translated into our play all around the court.”

At the Plano tournament, Timothy beat LaMoille-Ohio, Westmont and Peru St. Bede but lost to Aurora Christian and Sandwich.

“Aurora Christian is a good team that had some good swings against us,” said Piersma. “We let the thirdfourth-place match slip away. We had a lack of confidence and a lack of focus in the end. But going 3-2 still is a good day.”

Timothy closed the regular season with a MSC crossover win against town neighbor IC Catholic Prep.

“It was nice to get a tough opponent in the crossover game,” said Piersma. “They test you in different ways. They play such outstanding defense. They try to turn the tables and make plays that frustrate you. We practiced that in our practice leading up to the match where we were trying to get more than one swing to extend

the play. We didn’t play our strongest match and it wasn’t near the level of how we played against Chicago Christian, but we played well.”

Piersma noted Timothy trailed IC Catholic Prep 22-20 in the first set and came back to win 26-24. The Trojans won the second set 25-18, scoring the final three points of the frame.

“It was good to see us fight and have the determination to finish it off. We didn’t mess around,” he said.

Timothy finished the regular season with a 30-5 record. It’s the Trojans’ third 30-win season in a row and fifth in program history.

“Kudos to the ladies for winning 30 matches in a 35-match regular season,” said Piersma.

Piersma also lauded the play of Rachel Stoll in the Plano tournament.

Stoll filled in at the setter position for part of the tournament.

“Rachel set for us and did a great job. She made good adjustments,”

said Piersma.

Timothy opened play this week in the Trinity regional against host Trinity.

“We know we have to put together many more good games to make a big run,” said Piersma. “We have the talent and we’ll be ready.”

In the 25-17, 20-25, 27-25 win over Chicago Christian, Kendra Teune had 10 kills, two blocks and one ace. Ava Venema had 12 kills and three blocks. Tracy Westra had 25 assists, 11 digs and four kills.

Emily DeBoer had five blocks. Zoe Stanton added 16 digs. Olivia Hoekstra had two kills and nine digs, while Ruth Hruska-Kelley had five kills and three blocks.

In the win over IC Catholic Prep, Teune had six kills, three aces and five digs. Venema had 10 kills and two blocks. Westra had 18 assists, 13 digs and two kills. Stanton had seven digs. Hruska-Kelley had six kills and two aces.

York girls swimming team fares well at Maine South invitational Varsity 400 relay team victorious; Dukes win 10 of 13 relay events

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York girls swimming team recently won the six-team Maine South Hawks relay meet.

The Dukes finished with 154 points, ahead of second-place host

Maine South with 134 points.

York won 10 of 13 relay events and took a second, third and fourth in the remaining three. Of note, the second-place win was 0.01 short of a victory.

The York frosh-soph 200 medley relay team of sophomores Samantha Harrington, Nicole Bednarik, Delaney Tase and freshman Nicole DeMare won the race in 1:58.09.

The varsity 400 relay team of seniors Meaghan McIntyre, Ailie Orzak, Sarah Lewand and junior Meghan Quinn won with a time of

3:44.57.

The frosh-soph 400 relay team of Harrington, Tase, DeMare and freshman Amanda Polach finished first with a time of 3:52.53.

In other recent action, the York frosh-soph 200 relay team broke a school record in a home meet against Hinsdale Central.

The Dukes swam 1:42.43, eclipsing the old mark that had stood since 2011.

The record-breaking team was comprised of Tase, Polach, Harrington and Bednarik.

The Trojans finished with 47 team points. Westmont won the regional title with 23 points.

Freshman Hope Clark finished fourth with a time of 21:32 to lead Timothy. Sophomore Olivia Reamer was ninth in 22:23. Junior Annika Ward finished 10th at 22:23. Freshman Elise Terpstra was 11th in 22:24. Sophomore Jill Forgac was 13th in 22:40 and sophomore Morgan Hoving was 22nd in 25:15.

At the conference meet, the Trojans were third as a team. Clark took 10th with a time of 20:49, while freshman Terpstra was 11th in 20:54. Both earned all-conference accolades.

“Elise had a breakthrough race and surprised us by earning all-conference honors,” said Zylstra.

The coach also lauded the performance of Forgac. “”Jill also had a huge race for us by dropping four minutes from the MSC pre-conference race run at Elmwood Park a month ago.”

Forgac went from 25:29 to 21:27.

ished second at the MSC Red Division meet.

“It clearly was a two-team race for first. Elmwood Park also placed five runners in the Top 12,” noted Timothy coach Dick Zylstra.

Terpstra was fifth in 16:55. Fox took seventh with a time of 17:08.

Fincher was eighth in 17:13. Ross was 10th in 17:30 and Mitchell was 11th in 17:31. Those five earned allMSC Red honors. Timothy finished with 41 points. Elmwood Park’s topfive runners finished 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 (24 points).

“I’m very pleased with the boys,” said Zylstra. “The gap from 1 to 5 was 36 seconds, by far our best of the season. We’re hoping that translates into a good state run. Both Xavier and Caleb had breakthrough races.”

It’s onto sectionals for the IC Catholic Prep boys team.

The Knights took sixth at the Class 1A Lisle regional to earn the final team-qualifying spot in Saturday’s sectional race where berths in the state meet will be on the line.

The Knights finished with 151 points. Elmhurst resident Eric James placed 19th to lead the way with a time of 18:45. Casey Kristie took 20th with a time of 18:48.

“The dynamic duo had a great race today,” said Knights coach Jeff Fredrickson of James and Kristie.

“Casey had an outstanding race, passing runners the entire time.”

Tony Gaudio, an Elmhurst resident, placed 42nd with a time of 20:52. Jacob Schmidt was 46th with a time of 21:17. Nico Gaudio was 49th with a time of 21:54. Dominic Gaudio was 50th with a time of 22:20, while Fabian Perez took 54th with a time of 23:07.

“The one thing I would like to see is the pack finishing closer together and higher in the standings,” said Fredrickson.

On the girls side, the Knights did not qualify any runners for sectionals.

“The girls did not qualify anybody but they should be proud of their performances,” said Fredrickson.

Julissa Unzueta was 24th with a time of 23:57. Jaida Smith was 41st in 26:36 and Anna Gendusa placed

52nd with a time of 28:38.

Earlier, the Knights boys team finished seventh at the Metro Suburban Conference meet. James was 24th overall with a time of 17:22.8.

“Eric had a nice race leading into the regional meet,” said Fredrickson. “He saw that he can compete with some of the Metro Suburban Conference’s best runners.”

Kristie was 35th with a time of 18:01.4. “Casey also ran a strong race,” said Fredrickson. “This was a great confidence builder for both of them (James and Kristie).”

Unzueta led the Knights’ girls team with a 38th place finish in the conference meet. She covered the course in 24:21.6.

“

The dynamic duo had a great race today.

Casey had an outstanding race, passing runners the entire time.”
