Making the most of the late summer weather These young ladies make the most of the last nice days of September while playing at Washington Park in Elmhurst.

Summer weather lasted well into the beginning of the fall season – and it’s not even what they call Indian Summer just yet.

Correction:

In last week’s Independent, a story that appeared about a number of students playing football for Fenwick High School contained errors. First of all, it mentioned that some of the students used to play for IC Catholic Prep, when in fact, they played for IC Grade School. The article also stated that the players were all from Elmhurst. Although they all played together at Elmhurst schools, either ICGS or Visitation, the players are not all residents of Elmhurst. The Independent regrets the errors.

A car wash is not just for looks, dust and dirt on the car absorbs and retains moisture.

(Ed. note: This is part two of a two-part series. Part one appeared in the Sept. 29, 2016, issue of The Elmhurst Independent.)

In last week’s story about the open forum with City officials hosted by the Elmhurst League of Women Voters, the Independent reported on the overviews provided by each of the panelists, who were Elmhurst City Manager Jim Grabowski, Jim Rogers, executive director of the Elmhurst Park District and Mary Beth Harper, executive director of the Elmhurst Public Library.

Following those remarks given on the evening of September 22, a representative from the Cool Cities Coalition asked each city leader to talk about environmental sustainability, a topic of the highest priority to the coalition.

Library recycles books, uses sustainable materials Mary Beth Harper began by saying that environmental awareness was taken very seriously at the Elmhurst Library.

“We are replacing all our bulbs with LED lights that come on upon entry,” she said. “They come on when they’re needed and go off when they’re not, which saves electrical energy. But it’s very expensive to make the switch over.”

Open house at Alpine Creek Dental On Friday, Oct. 7 from 1-4 p.m., Alpine Creek Dental located at 360 No. York Street will be holding an open house for new and existing patients, local businesses and health care professionals. There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony at 12:30 p.m.

The office was previously home to Sandell Dental Care until Dr. Hadley Thurmon took over the practice about one year ago. After some remodeling, a name change and adding another dentist to the practice, Dr. Thurmon is anxious to host this grand re-opening to introduce the practice to the Elmhurst community. The public is invited to stop by the office any time between 1-4 p.m. For more information, call 630621-9299.

Harper went on to say that they are constantly recycling books and, before they dispose of any, Elmhurst teachers get a first-look to see if anything meets their needs.

She said they had replaced all the lobby furniture and flooring using sustainable materials. The stairs are actually made of cork.

The library uses only “green” cleaning supplies. Harper even mentioned their new Ventrex Snow Sweeper.

“It clears the snow better, which allows us to use less salt,” she said.

“Any time we can reduce salt usage is good because it’s hard on the sidewalks and on people’s shoes.

We’re always looking at ‘green’ initiatives.”

Harper concluded by saying the floors in the circulation area, where staff are on their feet almost all day are covered in rubber mats made from old tires.

The rubber provides enough bounciness to make it easier on the feet and legs when standing for long periods.

Police department using better vehicles, collecting medication City Manager Jim Grabowski began by reminding the 30-some guests in the meeting room at the library that evening that the City has a sustainability policy in place.

“We are using fuel-efficient vehicles and we have a propane station for a police vehicle that runs on propane,” he said. “The police department has two hybrids and

“

We need to find out what the next generation of seniors will want. We need to find out what people who are 55 or 60 will want in five or ten years.”

– Jim Rogers, executive director of the Elmhurst Park District two electric cars.”

He spoke briefly about the AllTerrain Vehicle (ATV) the police department obtained about a year ago that looks like a golf cart outfitted like a police car. It has the ability to go places and get into tighter spots that could be difficult for a full-sized vehicle.

While on the topic of electric cars, Grabowski reminded guests that there are electric chargers in the new parking deck on Addison Street and one has already been in regular use.

The police department also has five bicycles that officers can use.

“They are a great tool for engaging with the community,” Grabowski said.

The prescription drug drop box is still in use at the police station, where residents are invited to deposit their old, used and expired medication, rather than flush it or worse yet, keep it around and risk having someone find it and use it.

“We’ve collected a total of 394 pounds of prescription drugs in the past year,” Grabowski said.

“It’s been a total of 1,632 pounds since the drop box was installed in 2014.”

The City manager went on to talk about the new rain garden by the police station, which cleans and recycles water.

And then there’s storm water mitigation.

“The Southwest Wet Weather Control System is in place now, which will prevent back-ups in homes in that area,” Grabowski said. “We spent $11 million to purchase and install larger pumps at Jackson and Saylor, which will increase the flood relief to homeowners.”

He echoed Harper’s comments about the expense involved in switching to LED lights.

“It’s very expensive to do,” he said. “It costs a great deal of money, but we’re looking into grants that may be available to assist us.”

Grabowski said 3rd Ward Alderman Dannee Polomsky is working on drafting a sustainability plan

and wants to set up a Task Force in the community.

“She’d like to see us develop more of a formal document,” he said, “one that will clearly account for all the efforts toward sustainability.”

Park District using no chemicals at Van Voorst as a test Jim Rogers talked about the Park Board’s recent acquisition of the DuPage Medical Building on Palmer Drive and how the Glos Mausoleum Park will be enlarged and extend right over all the property there. (Rogers’ conversation was covered in last week’s Independent.)

Regarding issues of sustainability at the Park District, Rogers said some of the park vehicles are running on propane now, which is considerably cheaper.

“We do everything we can to preserve our open spaces,” he said.

“We are currently testing at Van Voorst Park [located near Jefferson School], we’re not using any fertilizers or pesticides there, just to see if it’s possible to have spaces that could remain free of chemicals, especially for children who have particular allergies.”

Two plans Rogers talked about for the future were to replace The Abbey and to consider building an indoor sports facility. When someone in the audience asked Rogers if he expected any money from the state of Illinois, he drew a laugh from the crowd when he blurted, “No!” There was an air of understanding in the room that the state is in such dire financial straits, it would be foolish to expect any assistance no matter what the plan.

Both the sports facility and The Abbey are only in the early planning stages at this time, but Rogers commented on how the needs of seniors are changing.

“We need to find out what the next generation of seniors will want,” he said. “We need to find out what people who are 55 or 60 will want in five or ten years.”

Many cyclists not stopping at York and Prairie Path: police Sooner or later, somebody could be killed: Leader

By Dan McLeister FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

A policeman in an unmarked car found that only one of eight bicyclists pressed the traffic light button at the intersection of the Prairie Path and York Rd., Elmhurst Deputy Police Chief Michael McLean said.

Several years ago, the City installed push-button activated flashing lights on both sides of York Road at the Prairie Path.

Bicyclists should follow the rules of the road, McLean told members of the Public Affairs and Safety

(PAS) at a meeting on September 29.

Sooner or later somebody could get killed, Alderman Norm Leader (2nd Ward), a member of the PAS Committee commented.

“Something needs to be done,” he said.

Alderman Chris Healy (5th Ward) stated in an interview after the September 29th meeting that he is leaving all options open. Healy said his committee would wait for a report from a traffic engineer hired by the Public Works and Buildings (PWB) Committee.

“Probably nothing will happen until next spring,” he said.

PWB Committee members want a consultant to provide information only about moving the Prairie Path north or south of its current location, not building an underpass or

an overpass, both of which had been discussed previously by the City Council.

The Park District could be involved, according to City Manager Jim Grabowski, who said that although the Prairie Path is owned by DuPage County, it is the Elmhurst Park District who maintains it and owns the adjacent property.

Initial plans call for the trimming and removal of select vegetation that blocks pedestrian and driver visibil-

Pictured is the entrance of White Pines Golf Course on Thursday, Sept. 29, where police were conducting an investigation after the body of a woman had been discovered by an employee at about 8:15 a.m. Following an investigation and an autopsy, police discovered that the woman was about 37 years old and had expired from a knife wound to her back. Her live-in boyfriend was later arrested and charged with her murder.

Boyfriend charged in murder of woman found at White Pines Body discovered at golf club entrance by employee

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE INDEPENDENT

On Thursday, Sept. 29 at about 8:15 a.m., an unsuspecting employee of White Pines Golf Course in Bensenville arrived at work to find the body of a deceased woman at the entrance to the club.

Following an investigation and an autopsy, police discovered that the woman was about 37 years old and had apparently expired from a knife wound to her back. Earlier that morning, Cook County Sheriff officials were alerted to a possible homicide on the 11500 block of Grand Avenue in Cook County. Police later

determined the two incidents were believed to be connected.

After further investigation, authorities arrested and charged Johnathan Condrey, 44, with first-degree murder after confirming the woman, who has not yet been identified, was his girlfriend and had allegedly died at his hand. Condrey and the woman lived together at her home on the above-mentioned location on Grand Avenue in unincorporated Cook County.

About 5 a.m., the two had reportedly had an argument during which he allegedly stabbed her with a knife in her back.

Reports indicate that Condrey took the woman’s body to the golf course and left it there. Condrey was scheduled for a bond hearing on Saturday, the results of which were unknown at press time.

ity Also expected will be refreshed striping at the crosswalk and a new “Stop for Pedestrians” sign placed in the center of York Road.

Healy said much if not all of the problems involve limited sight lines.

In 2016, there have been three accidents involving bicyclists, compared to just one last year, police data show.

Of the 47 crashes in the York Prairie Path area in the last ten years, 13 were injury accidents and 34

Family urges keeping East End playground; Board elects to remove it Mark and Jackie Schulz of the 100 block of North Hampshire Avenue spoke during the public participation segment of the meeting. The Schulz family asked the board to reconsider its plan to remove the old playground from East End Park. The Schulz family lives across the street from the old playground. Jackie Schulz told the board the old playground is very special to her family.

The old playground is located in the southeast section of the park, near East End Pool. The new playground at East End Park, which is located in the center of the park, opened in October 2015.

Shortly after the Schulz family spoke, the board considered an ordinance to remove the old playground at East End Park. Elmhurst Park District Executive Director Jim Rogers noted that the board decided in April 2015 to retain the old playground until park district staff determined that it was no longer safe and had reached the end of its functional life.

Since the new playground opened in October 2015, park district staff monitored usage of the old and new playgrounds. Rogers said park district staff visited the park more than 400 times between the fall of 2015 and early September of this year.

Rogers said the data recorded from the period showed the new playground received eight times as many visits as the old playground.

Rogers added that the equipment at the old playground is about 20 years old and not compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. He also questioned whether the 13-acre East End Park warranted two playgrounds.

Rogers said the only parks in the district with two playgrounds are its two largest parks—Berens Park (65 acres) and Eldridge Park (43 acres).

Each of the other parks have one playground.

The park district staff removed two swings from the old playground in June due to safety concerns, Roger said. He also said that the old playground is notably too close to the street. It was his recommendation to remove the old playground at East End Park and put two picnic tables in the area.

Board members voted unanimously to approve the removal of the old playground at East End Park, restore the area to open green space and add two picnic tables. The board directed staff to research the possibility of adding some type of recreational feature to the area of the vacated playground.

Transportation contract awarded to Superior Ambulance The board also voted unanimously to award the transportation bid for individuals with special needs to Superior Ambulance Service. Rogers noted that Superior Ambulance Service has been providing the service to the district since 2009. Superior Ambulance submitted the lowest of two bids to provide transportation services for individuals with special needs in 2017. The company will continue to provide transportation of Elmhurst residents with special needs to offerings held at the Hanson Center by the Gateway Special Recreation Association. Superior’s bid for 2017 was $26,400. The other

involved property damage. Two pedestrian crashes, six cyclist crashes and five vehicle-to-vehicle crashes have resulted in injuries.

The highest number of vehicle versus cyclist or pedestrian crashes involved eastbound cyclists or pedestrians being stuck by a northbound vehicle. Morning and afternoon figures were about the same.

No cyclist or pedestrian crashes were reported in November through April.

company to submit a bid provided a bid of just over $35,000.

Results from recent survey of Courts Plus members reviewed The Sept. 26 board meeting included a report about the findings of a recent survey administered to members of Courts Plus. Ginger Wade, the district’s director of marketing and communications, told board members the district had the e-mail addresses of nearly 3,900 members. The survey was sent to those members. Additionally, the survey was mailed to 300 members without an e-mail contact. Wade said about 24 percent of the 4,200 members who received the survey provided a response.

According to Wade, about 32 percent of the respondents stated they visit Courts Plus more than three times per week. About 35 percent of respondents reported they do not visit the facility on weekends. About 40 percent of respondents have been members of Courts Plus for more than 10 years. The facility has been open for 44 years. Approximately 70 percent of the respondents are women. Wade said the location and convenience of Courts Plus was a major point of satisfaction for respondents.

Some of the respondents’ complaints referred to the crowded fitness floor.

Students charged with alcohol consumption released to parents

The suspect, who was the mother of one of the children, then confronted the victim. The victim stated the suspect knocked the phone out of her hand and slapped her.

Empty nest time quickly approaching

Most of my friends are doing it.

I’ve always been a little stunted so I’m not quite there yet. It will come soon enough.

The next stage.

From what I can tell, it’s one of rediscovery, independence and running to the store together for milk.

(Because you can.)

I still have kids at home. I stretched this whole parenthood thing out about as far as you can stretch it. My friends who were more streamlined with their timelines are finding themselves with spare bedrooms, full refrigerators and empty nests. And, for the most part, they are enjoying it.

This gives me hope for my own future happiness. If they can adapt, so can I. I already feel the winds of change sweeping in. On weekends, the members of our flock who still live here no longer wake early to watch Saturday morning cartoons.

called “Rooster” used to rouse us an hour before sunrise by calling out for a sippy cup of strawberry milk.

Rooster has become a hibernator and currently prefers sleep over early morning anything.

Sippy cups and cartoons and strawberry milk in bed have become things of the past.

For our part, my husband and I try to sleep in, but rarely make it more than an hour past our regular waking time. Since our offspring are all capable of getting up and finding their own breakfast (or lunch, given their sleep habits) we

experience the freedom of an unencumbered day. The hours stretch out enticingly in front of us. What shall we do? Where shall we go?

One of our current favorite Saturday morning destinations is the home improvement store where we walk the aisles and discuss home improvement possibilities. Afterward, we’ll stop at the fleet supply store to peruse the various implements and other necessities we probably won’t ever need. Sometimes they have fuzzy little baby ducks and chicks there in large metal tubs. We talk about the logistics of raising chickens and the benefits of having access to an infinite supply of fresh eggs. Then, if we need milk or bread or just want to get something fun for dinner, we’ll head to the grocery store. We linger in the meat section.

Because we can.

All these everyday activities, for now, feel luxurious. Out of necessity, we used to split our time and attention. One ran errands while the

We spent so many years dividing and conquering and fighting just to keep the toilets flushed and the cap on the toothpaste that going to the home improvement store (together) for something as simple as a new power tool feels almost like a date. What can I say? It doesn’t take much to impress me.

Perhaps in time we will progress to activities even more date-like: going out to lunch, a trip to the mall or maybe even a movie (matinee, no popcorn).

For now, though, I’m satisfied with errands. And time spent together. Enjoying the small things.

First half of OSLAD grant funds received Near the end of the meeting, Rogers noted that the district had recently received the first half of the Open Space Land Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant for improvements to Butterfield Park.

The district received a $400,000 OSLAD grant for improvements to the park in January 2015. The state’s OSLAD grants were frozen later in that same month. Rogers said the district recently received half of the grant amount—$200,000. Rogers said the other half of the grant would be forthcoming.

Building of storm water basin begins Rogers also referred to the beginning of the City of Elmhurst’s project to build a storm water detention basin at York Commons. As part of the project, about 60 trees were removed from the park. The trees will eventually be replaced. Rogers noted that the park district, not the city, will determine the species of trees that will be planted in place of the recently removed trees.

Next meeting delayed due to holiday The park district board will hold its next regular meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 11. The board normally meets on Mondays, but the upcoming meeting is scheduled for a Tuesday because of the Columbus Day holiday on Oct. 10.

There will be others, of course.

Stages, that is. And perhaps there may even come a time when we are ready to be responsible again for tiny beings that rely on us for sustenance and daily care. A stage when we choose to have a nest that is no longer empty – but full.

Jaycees seek nominations for DSA recipient

Obituary

MILDRED SMITH, 99 Mildred Reed Smith, long-time resident of Elmhurst, died September 23, 2016 in Phoenix, Ariz., at the age of 99. She was born on January 19, 1917 in Tallmansville, West Virg., and started school at age 6 in the 4th grade because her older sisters taught her their lessons at home before she ever started school. She graduated high school at age 15 and college at West Virginia Wesleyan at age 19 in 1936.

Mildred taught English at the high school in Buckhannon, WV, and obtained a master’s degree in English Literature at Northwestern University in 1942. She married Ray M. Smith of Chicago and accompanied him to various U.S. Army bases, where he was a flight instructor until he went overseas for combat. They settled in Chicago after he returned in 1945, and in 1955 moved to Elmhurst, where she lived until 2012.

She obtained a second master’s degree in library science after Ray was disabled in the 1960s, and was the librarian at Churchville Junior High School until she retired in 1982.

She was active in the League of Women Voters, the Chicago Genealogical Society and the Elmhurst Genealogy Forum. Mildred enjoyed playing bridge with friends, and traveling with Elderhostel tours and with her sisters. She volunteered at the Elmhurst History Museum for 30 years before moving to Phoenix to live with her daughter.

Mildred is survived by her daughter, Philinda Smith Hutchings (David Henslee), and two sons, William Mitchell Smith and David (Julia) Reed Smith, and two grandchildren, Matthew Reed Smith and Sarah (Dan) Smith Cline. A Memorial Service will be held at the Elmhurst History Museum Education building, 120 E. Park Ave., Elmhurst, on Nov. 2, 2016, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Emery K. and Lula E.

LOOKING GOOD, SEEING WELL

Up to half of those who select sunglasses off-therack give little to no consideration to how much the lenses block out harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. The FDA has designated non-prescription sunglasses as medical devices since 1998, and requires lenses to be impact-resistant, nontoxic, and non-flammable.

Beyond that, it is up to the consumer to check labels for “99% or 100% UV protection” or “UV400,” which means that the lenses absorb wavelengths up to 400 nanometers, thereby blocking all harmful UV rays. Consumers should understand that there is no relationship between the cost of sunglasses and their UV screening ability. Nor does the darkness of the lenses have any bearing on their ability to screen out UV rays. Sunlight reflected off of water, snow, sand and even pavement increases UV exposure; wearing a wide-brimmed hat is often not enough to protect the eyes. At SKOWRON EYE CARE OPTICAL, our certified opticians will help you select the style, shape, and color of eye glasses or sun glasses that are right for you. Visit us for an eye exam and get fitted for a new pair of eyeglasses or contact lenses.

We feature the latest in technology from in-vogue eyewear and eyeglasses to complex contact lenses to LASIK eye surgery. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision.

P.S. When trying on a pair of inexpensive drugstore sunglasses, focus on a vertical edge or line and move your head back and forth. If the line wiggles, the lenses may have an optical defect.

Expenditures of $151,080,061 in FY 2016-17 for District 205 Action in Springfield could result in severe reductions: Whelton

By Dan McLeister FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

The final budget for Elmhurst School District 205 includes $151,545,130 in revenues and $151,080,061 in expenditures, according to Chris Whelton, assistant superintendent of finance and operations.

“However, lingering concerns about the effects of the School Funding Reform Act and the continuing possibility of a pension cost shift from the General Assembly could both result in severe budget reductions in the not-too-distant future,” he said at a School Board

meeting on Sept. 27.

Whelton noted that District 205’s operating fund balances would end the year ahead of projections at $51,392,263, which is 44.76 percent of expenditures and more than the percentage dictated by policy.

He noted that as a service provider, District 205’s labor costs are very extensive—79 per cent of expenses are for staff salaries and benefits. The District saw a difference of .8 Full Time Equivalent

Michael St. Peter probably didn’t imagine that piano lessons from his mom was a step on his journey to one day performing in an opera at the Juilliard School of Music. Or that singing in the York High School

Concert Choir was a building block that would lead to a debut in New York’s Lincoln Center featuring works by renowned composer Benjamin Britten.

“Michael’s music education began Michael in Elmhurst, and St. Peter those opportunities provided a springboard for his life’s path,” said Michael’s mom Cynthia, a former music teacher in Brook-

THUMBS DOWN

If thumb-sucking persists beyond the point when a child’s permanent teeth erupt, the habit may very well disrupt tooth alignment and make

by Jeffrey T. Boland orthodontic treatment necessary.

Most Licensed Orthodontic Specialist children usually stop sucking their thumbs between the ages of two and four, while most of the rest of schoolage children stop as the result of peer pressure. Because they adversely affect the teeth in much the same way that sucking thumbs and fingers does, pacifiers are not an acceptable substitute for thumb-sucking. If parents need help in breaking the thumb-sucking habit, the orthodontist can provide a fixed orthodontic appliance known as a “fixed palatal crib,” which blocks the thumb from entering the mouth. It usually works within the first day of use.

and 1.54 percent over the last five years, Whelton indicated.

In FY 2016 District 205 received four quarterly mandated categorical payments from the state—one quarterly payment that was due in June 2015 and the first three quarterly payments of FY 2016. The 2016-17 budget includes four quarterly mandated categorical payments in the last quarter of 2016 and the first three quarters of FY 2017. Whelton said this assumes

that the state will finish the year one quarter behind.

Five-year projections, prepared

by PMA Financial Network, will be presented to the Board in November and updated in January 2017.

Enrollment projections will be presented at the second Board meeting in October along with the tentative levy.

Throughout his years in the Elmhurst public schools, Michael participated in music and theater. He sang in choirs at York High School, where he also performed in the musicals under the direction of Becky Marianetti. After graduation in 2012, Michael attended The Juilliard School to pursue a Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance.

“Michael is a perfect example of what can happen when a gifted performer receives ongoing support from his family and community,” said Marianetti. “It is a remarkable achievement for a young singer to graduate from The Juilliard School, which has the well-deserved reputation of providing the finest classical training in the world. This is just the beginning of Michael’s success.”

In addition to involvement in Elmhurst, Michael sang in roles for the Chicago Opera Theatre and chorus for The Lyric Opera of Chicago. He auditioned with and joined the Chicago Children’s Choir, where he remained a member from 2005- 2012, performing at Carnegie Hall and

touring globally.

As a tenor in his first year of graduate studies at Manhattan School of Music, Michael sees clearly how the musical experiences he had growing up not only in Elmhurst but also near Chicago and how they have shaped his passion and success. He willingly agreed to perform for the upcoming gala for the proposed Elmhurst Center for Performing Arts (ECPA).

“My passion for music started at an early age, through exposure to the arts at home, in school and in my community,” Michael said. “I can only begin to imagine the possibilities for future young people who have a state-of-the-art center, where they can collaborate and spend time with friends.

“It will be very exciting to perform in Elmhurst where I have my roots, at the first fundraising event for the ECPA.” “Our city is rightly proud to share in his achievements - and it is our responsibility as a community to create similar paths for the many other talented local artists,” Marianetti said.

“Getting behind ECPA in its drive to build a performing arts center is one way to do that.”

Michael is happy to return to Chicago for the evening to reunite with family and friends.

Sen. Nybo recognized by National Food Allergy Group State Sen. Chris Nybo (R-Elmhurst) was recently named a Distinguished Legislator by Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE), the nation’s largest food allergy patient advocacy group, for his leadership in advocating for people with food allergies in Illinois.

“Any parent who sends their child off to school every day, first and foremost, you want your child to be safe. Sen. Nybo was the first in Illinois to step up. He got to the heart of the matter very quickly,” said Jennifer Jobrack, senior national director of advocacy for FARE. “It always takes a group. It was a bipartisan effort, but Sen. Nybo was definitely a leader not only in the state but in the nation, and that’s why we honor

him.”

Sen. Nybo has a history of sponsoring and supporting legislation to improve the safety of individuals with food allergies, particularly children.

As a State Representative, he was the lead sponsor of House Bill 3294, which when signed in August 2011 made Illinois the sixth state in the country to allow schools to stock undesignated epinephrine. Epinephrine, commonly dispensed through an auto-injector often called an EpiPen, is the only medication that can halt the symptoms of a severe allergic reaction.

According to Illinois State Board of Education data released in June 2016, 17 districts representing 59

public schools reported administering 65 doses of undesignated epinephrine during the 2014-2015 school year. Nearly 60 percent of those EpiPens were used on students who did not have a previously diagnosed allergy so they did not have a prescription for the lifesaving medication.

“This is life or death, literally. It’s gratifying to know that it (Emergency Epinephrine Act) has been used and kids’ lives have been saved,” Jobrack said. “Sen. Nybo’s work

helped make that possible.”

More recently, Sen. Nybo was the Senate sponsor for House Bill 4462, which expands the authorization for schools to stock epinephrine, includes other authorized entities to stock it, and creates the Annie LeGere law which allows trained police officers to carry and use EpiPens in emergencies. Gov. Rauner signed the new legislation Aug. 5 and it goes into effect in January 2017.

“I truly appreciate this honor. It’s humbling to be recognized for an

effort personal to me as a father,” Nybo said. “We all have a mission to protect everyone, especially our children, from life-threatening food allergies.”

According to statistics, a food allergy reaction sends someone to the emergency room every three minutes, and more than 15 million people are affected by food allergies and anaphylaxis. This potentially deadly condition affects one in 13 children in the United States – or roughly two in every classroom, FARE reports.

Resident places second among 15,000 in Chicago Half Marathon James Akita praises Joe Newton as inspiration, role model

By Marisa Mancini FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Elmhurst native James Akita accomplished an incredible feat on Sunday, September 25, placing second in the 20th Annual Chicago Half Marathon with a time of 1 hour and 12 minutes.

Overall, more than 15,000 athletes from 50 states and 47 countries ran the 13.1-mile course.

Akita’s passion for running started 21 years ago while a student at York High School, where he competed mainly in the one mile.

“I ran for Coach Joe Newton who I believe is still one of the greatest high school coaches in the country,” he said.

Akita has the utmost respect and admiration for Newton.

“He was a mentor and a father figure to me and helped me build a passion for running.”

For the past 11 years, Akita has been the Elmhurst College Men’s Cross Country and Track and Field coach. He cites Newton as his impetus for becoming a coach.

“I wanted to take the passion for running and competing Coach Newton instilled in me and transfer it to other kids. Coach Newton shaped my life and is the reason I became a coach.”

Akita attended Elmhurst College after being recruited by Elmhurst College’s Cross Country coach. In college, he moved up in distance and focused on 5K and 10K races. His quest to accomplish longer distances continues to this day.

He has run 17 marathons, 10 of which were the Chicago Marathon -- his favorite event – which he will soon run for the 11th time. Akita has also run two 30 mile races and several 26 milers.

“I am thinking about getting into ultra-marathons because I always want a new challenge,” Akita said.

The top runners from the Chicago Half Marathon were honored at an award ceremony where each received a plaque and a medal. Proud second place winner James Akita is pictured fourth from the left. He is an Elmhurst resident.

He ran two 50-milers in the last couple of years.

When asked what motivates him to run, Akita stated, “I am a very competitive person. Getting into the race and running hard is my favorite thing to do.”

He loves to race. The excitement of both competing against other runners and finishing a challenging race compels him to keep running.

Akita trains mainly on his own, running early mornings before work. Occasionally, Akita does get the opportunity to run with his col-

lege team.

“I feed off their excitement and competitive drive, which helps motivate me and keeps me going.”

Like many of the Chicago Half Marathon participants this year, Akita’s participation was a tune up for the upcoming Chicago Marathon.

Going into the race, he was unsure of his fitness level because he had not run a race in a while. Earning second place in a pool of 15,000 competitors gave him a tremendous boost of confidence for the Chicago Marathon.

“

I wanted to take the passion for running and competing Coach Newton instilled in me and transer it to other kids.

Coach Newton shaped my life and is the reason I became a coach.”

Rosenbergs celebrate golden wedding anniversary Long-time Elmhurst community members, Richard and Barbara Rosenberg recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Sept.

3, 2016. They marked this amazing milestone by renewing their vows at a weekend getaway at Barbara’s brother’s summer home in Minocqua, Wisc. Their children and grandchildren, some traveling from Boulder, Colo., joined them for this joyous occasion.

The Rosenbergs were married at First United Methodist Church in Barbara’s hometown of Kirkland, Ill., on September 3, 1966. Richard, who was born in Chicago, met Barbara at a school dance while she was attending Northwestern School of Nursing. After starting their married life in Chicago, they established their Elmhurst roots less than a year later.

Richard spent the majority of his career as a local business owner of Elmhurst Camera and has served in many organizations including the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the Elmhurst Art Museum. He continues to be an active Elmhurst Kiwanis member and a volunteer at York High School. Barbara put her nursing training to use in the Elmhurst school system as a health aid and then as a one-on-one special education assistant for over 20 years.

Barbara’s work with the special needs community along with her and Richard’s extensive world travel inspired them to found their charities, Special Kids Day and Soles for Kids.

They are the parents of Marc (Melissa) Rosenberg of Boulder, Colo., Chris (Jennifer) Rosenberg of Elmhurst, and Heather (Brian) Stalker, of Elmhurst.

The Rosenbergs are most proud of their roles as devoted grandparents to Jack, Olivia, Ben, Claire, Kate and Luke by never missing a birthday.

In addition to hosting their regular “Gram” days, they can be found all over Elmhurst attending every sporting event, ice-skating show, band/ choir concert, Scouting event and theatre performance their grandchildren are involved in.

Congratulations to Barbara and Richard on your 50th anniversary.

Samantha Bauer is the recipient of this year’s Returning Student Scholarship presented by the American Association of University Women (AAUW) Elmhurst area Branch.

She thanked the Elmhurst Branch for the opportunity to attend Washington University in St. Louis, where she will study for her Masters of Science in Occupational Therapy. She plans to pass the NBCOT exam and practice as an occupational therapist.

Samantha graduated in 2011 with a Bachelor of Art, cum laude, from Washington University where she majored in Psychology and in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies. It was her experience being paired with a boy at the Caring for Kids Camp coordinated by the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago that challenged her. This boy was non-verbal, low functioning and a reluctant participant in anything. As this child started to respond positively to her sensory activity suggestions, Samantha knew occupational therapy was her goal. “I eagerly await the day I can implement what I’ve learned and create deep, positive change in the life of another as a full-fledged Occupational Therapist,” she wrote in her application essay.

It took Samantha two years to complete graduate school prerequisite courses. During this time, she also spent many hours as both an occupational therapist observer and volunteer. She says that with her educational background and experience, she’s confident that she will be able to respond to different personalities and foster therapeutic relationships with any patient in need.

However, at this time, pediatrics holds special interest for her.

Scholarship funded by Annual Used Book Sale The AAUW Returning Student Scholarship is awarded annually to a woman aged 25 or over who is returning to school to continue her education at the undergraduate or graduate level. It is funded by proceeds from the Branch’s annual Used Book Sale, which this year was held July 30th through August 2nd.

Begin now to save your “read and enjoyed” books for next year’s sale.

Collection sites and Book Sale dates will be posted at aauwelmhurst.org in the spring.

Members of 100+ Women Who Care Elmhurst were moved by the “thank you” letter they received for their individual contribution to this quarter’s charity. It was written by a man, a father and a Chicago lawyer, who is now disabled after surviving a brain aneurysm. In the note, he shared his personal story and expressed gratitude for the support of Synapse House, where he is now an active member.

The Synapse House, an Elmhurst nonprofit organization, provides long-term support and services to those with acquired brain injury and their families. They were selected to receive the 100+ Women Who Care donation after Anne Rago Hackett’s presentation at the group’s quarterly meeting.

“The story of how Synapse House was founded really moved me,” said Anne. “I didn’t realize how many people are affected by an acquired brain injury, and that many have no place to go after completing a formal rehabilitation program.”

As a member of 100+ Women Who Care and a volunteer for the Synapse House, Anne was enthusiastic about connecting the two groups.

“I was excited to nominate Synapse House at the August meeting of the 100 + Women Who Care Elmhurst Chapter,” Anne explained, “and so happy that Synapse House was chosen as the recipient for the generous donation.”

A Monthly Guide to a Fitter, More Healthier You

A few small steps to better health Morning – Start the day right Eat a healthy breakfast every morning. Taking time for a nutritious breakfast gives you energy for the day

and fills you up so you’re less likely to overindulge at other meals.

Step on the scale once a week. “You may not like to weigh yourself, but it’s important for maintaining a healthy weight over time,” says Yolanda Co, MD, an internal family medicine physician with Elmhurst Memorial Medical Group (EMMG). “And, if you’re trying to lose weight, it’s vital to check your progress every week so you can see what methods are successful for

you.”

Fill up a water bottle for the day.

Water helps ease digestion, cushion and lubricate your joints and flush out toxins from your system. By keeping water near you during the day, you’ll be more likely to get in the habit of drinking it.

Noon – Stay healthy at work Eat fresh-cooked foods for lunch.

Avoid the habit of eating high-sodium, preservative-filled frozen dinners. Try cooking a few nutritious meals on the weekend and store the leftovers for the week ahead.

When you eat breads and pastas, stick to whole grain wheat varieties. A diet high in whole grains lowers your blood sugar and helps prevent diabetes and heart disease.

Strike a healthy work/life balance.

If you work too much without enough downtime, your stress levels may go through the roof. This can raise your blood pressure and increase your risk for health problems down the road.

Night – Take time for you and your family Cook a meal for your family and eat at the table. Challenge yourself to use less oil, salt and butter. Try adding heart-healthy fish to the menu one night of the week. Also, plant your own herbs and use in your recipes to enhance the taste, which is better than adding salt.

Do dessert right. Just because you had a healthy dinner doesn’t mean you can go crazy with a high-calorie dessert.

Instead, try a fresh fruit salad or low-fat yogurt with granola.

Yolanda Co, MD

Throw a ball around with the kids after dinner. Even if you don’t have time for a regular workout, moderate physical activity can raise your heart rate and help burn off a few extra calories.

Relax with a book or a warm bath.

Taking time for yourself is essential, helping lower your blood pressure, reduce stress and boost your mood.

Living healthy isn’t hard work. An active lifestyle, combined with a good diet and routine health checkups, will help reduce your risk of medical problems.

Dr. Co is accepting new patients at EMMG’s office at 133 E. Brush Hill Rd., Suite 205 in Elmhurst. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call (331) 221-6930. For more information about EMMG, visit www.EEHealth.org/EMMG.

Elmhurst Garden Club holds Garden Party at Ray Graham facility

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

At a party held Saturday, Oct. 1, Teri Litavsky (far left) praised the work the Elmhurst Garden Club members who performed landscaping and gardening work around the Ray Graham facility at 420 W. Madison.

The Committee included Caroline Rogers, Lynn Baralt, Marilyn Arado Donna Fredrickson, Georgia Dolan and Pat O’Dwyer. Litavsky announced that these women moved 5000 pounds of rock. “They dug a ditch the entire length of the property 12 to 18 inches deep all the way around,” she said.

HHS awards Illinois Chamber, ECCI to expand endorse safe Roads Amendment $2,024,736 Illinois behavioral

The following release was received from the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry: On behalf of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, the Governmental Affairs Committee of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry is sharing the following information from Illinois Chamber President and CEO Todd Maisch regarding his endorsement of the Safe Roads Amendment on the November 8 Presidential General Election ballot: Springfield -- On election day, before Illinoisans cast their vote the for President of the United States, they will be asked to vote on the Safe Roads Amendment, a proposed addition to the Illinois Constitution drafted by the Illinois Chamber of Commerce. This amendment creates no new taxes, only requires that government spend existing taxes and fees on what they were promised for.

The Safe Roads Amendment will protect your money that is collected by governments in Illinois and spent on transportation investments and put an end to the ability of politicians to divert funds, something that has already resulted in over $6.8 billion that has been swept from our state’s road fund since 2003.

Illinois sits at the center of the North American transportation network. We travel over 103 billion miles a year on America’s third longest inventory of roads. Within our borders we possess the third largest transit system,

second largest rail network, eighth most navigable waterway and are a leader in passenger and cargo air travel.

To keep these systems running, Illinois needs to invest billions into our existing transportation assets over the next 25 years. However, since 2003 over $6.8 billion collected by the state of Illinois through gas taxes and vehicle registration has been swept & used for other purposes.

This has eroded public trust while threatening our greatest competitive advantage--the ability of our state to move people and materials safely and efficiently.

As a result, Illinoisans are discouraged from pursuing new opportunities, while businesses have a harder time attracting the top talent they need to compete. It also increases the cost of conducting business. In the Chicago area, over $7 billion in productivity is lost every year due to congestion as people and goods sit in traffic. The additional wear and tear on our vehicles as a result of deteriorating roads costs us just over $3 billion a year.

A variety of organizations from across Illinois have come out in support of this amendment including several local chambers of commerce. Along with our partners at the Safe Roads Amendment, we hope you will join us as we work toward adoption of this amendment.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) last week announced $2,024,736.00 in awards to six training programs to increase the number of mental health providers and substance abuse counselors in Illinois.

Nationally, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) are funding 144 new and continuing grants for a total of $44.5 million through the Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training (BHWET) program, which supports clinical internships and field placements for an array of professional and paraprofessional behavioral health disciplines and occupations.

“The administration is committed to ensuring that Americans of all ages have access to quality mental health and substance abuse services,” said HHS Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell. “These grants are an important step toward that goal by creating an educational pipeline for future behavioral health providers so people in need can get the care they deserve.”

“The program emphasizes integrating behavioral health, primary care, violence awareness and prevention, and the involvement of families in the prevention and treatment of men-

Business briefs PAS, PWB Committees discuss crossing at York, IPP Elmhurst, IL — The Public Affairs and Safety and Public Works and Building Committee held several meetings to discuss the safety of the crossing at York Street and the Illinois Prairie Path. The committees recently signed an engineering contract to evaluate ways to make the crossing safer for pedestrians. This week the City of Elmhurst, Elmhurst Park District, and County worked together on several improvements to the crossing with the intent of improving its safety. Scheduled work included the trimming and removal of select vegetation that blocked pedestrian and driver visibility, refreshed striping paint at the crosswalk, and a new “stop for pedestrian” sign that was placed in the center of York Street. This work aims to draw safety awareness to both drivers and pedestrians while improving the overall safety of crossing.

Edward Jones named one of the best workplaces for women Financial-services firm Edward Jones was recognized as one of the Best Workplaces for Women in the country by Great Place to Work® and Fortune magazine, according to Justin Pisellini.

Edward Jones ranked No. 7 in the country, moving up 24 spots from last year. “Talented women have a key part to play in our firm’s growth strategy for roles in our branch offices and our headquar-

ters as we work to make a difference in our clients’ financial lives,” said Edward Jones Managing Partner Jim Weddle. “We support associates by offering family friendly programs such as our new and extended family leave policy, and creating a workplace that offers a variety of career paths leading to opportunity and success as we serve individual investors.” The ranking is based on associates’ assessments of communications with management, options for development and training, and support for work/life balance, among other factors. The ranking also takes into account how well-represented women are within the workforce overall and in management and executive positions.

Raising awareness of infant mortality County, State, others join the effort

States, almost 6 die during their first year. This figure, 6 deaths for every 1,000 births, is referred to as the infant mortality rate. “The infant mortality rate is commonly accepted as a measure of the general health and well-being of a nation, because factors affecting the health of entire populations can also affect infant mortality rates,” said Karen Ayala, DCHD Executive Director.

The U.S. infant mortality rate in 2014 was 5.8, and overall Illinois ranks 26th among the 50 states with an infant mortality rate of 6.6 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2014.

Disparities still exist; there are differences in infant mortality by age, race, and ethnicity.

The DuPage County infant mortality rate has decreased by 11% over the last five years, from 5.7 infant deaths per 1,000 live births in 2010 to 5.1 in 2014.

While the 2014 infant mortality rate increased from 2013, it remains below the Healthy People 2020 national health goal of 6.0 set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2010.

Preterm birth, or being born too early (before 37 weeks of pregnancy), is the biggest contributor to in-

The DuPage County Health Department (DCHD) is joining the Illinois Department of Public Health, EverThrive Illinois, and other healthcare partners throughout Illinois and the United States to raise awareness during September of the high rate of infant mortality. September is National Infant Mortality Month and has been sponsored since 1991 by the National Healthy Start Association.

Infant mortality is defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the death of an infant before his or her first birthday.

Unfortunately, more than 23,000 infants died during 2014 in the United States. The loss of a baby remains a sad reality for many parents and takes a serious toll on the health and wellbeing of families.

Fortunately, most newborns grow and thrive. However, for every 1,000 babies born in the United

fant death. In 2013, more than one third (36%) of infant deaths in the United States were due to pretermrelated causes. Other contributors to infant mortality include: low weight at birth, birth defects, pregnancy complications for the mother, sudden unexpected infant death and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and accidents (unintentional injuries).

Although medical advances over the last 60 years have helped save babies and dramatically reduced infant mortality, the United States still has a relatively poor global standing compared with other developed nations. A main reason for this is because the United States has a high percentage of preterm births, which contributes to a higher infant mortality rate.

The good news is we can help reduce infant mortality among babies born preterm by addressing key risk factors such as prenatal smoking that contribute to low birth weight, preterm delivery, preterm-related death, and SIDS. Also, parents and caregivers can reduce the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death by taking action to create safe sleep environments.

Another 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, service and/or an outstanding contribution to society.

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

Honorees for 2016 are: Dan Konopka, Jack Lavin, Judd Lofchie, Tekki Lomnicki, Barbara Lunde, Robert Nottelman (deceased) and Allan Tereba. All will be represented on November 3, with Bob’s son, Mark Nottleman, standing in for his father. Six of the Dukes of Distinction will be visiting with York students on November 4 in both large and small group settings.

This week, the Independent salutes Dr. Barbara Kegerreis Lunde, Class of 1955.

Barbara Kegerreis Lunde, Class of 1955, was recipient of the Minnesota Federation of Engineering, Science and Technology

Societies’ highest Honor, the Distinguished Science and Technology Professional Award in 2015.

Dr. Lunde served as Training Specialist for the rocket division of the Federal Aviation Administration, which licenses rocket launches Barbara Kegerreis for Elon Musk Lunde in 1955 and Virgin Galactic.

The first woman licensed as a Professional Electrical Engineer in Iowa, her design contributions include: the Iowa State University Library, the Des Moines Water Works, a Georgetown University dormitory, Next Step Public Charter School in Washington, DC, and additions to three Walmart stores.

As an Aerospace Engineer at NASA, she managed the development of the Reliable Earth Sensor. As a Research Engineer at MIT, she improved the design of the Minuteman Guidance System, reducing failures. As VP and Chief Engineer of commercial FM radio stations in Ames and Ankeny, Iowa, she helped build and operate them for 12 years.

Timothy Christian cross country teams compete at ACC Charger Classic Fincher leads way for boys; Freshman Clark tops for Trojans’ girls

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Timothy Christian crosscountry teams were in action at the recent Aurora Central Catholic Charger Classic held at Oakhurst Forest Preserve.

Timothy’s boys team was seventh in the meet with 198 points.

“We ran well,” said Timothy coach Dick Zylstra. “The boys ran better this year than last year even though we took third and a trophy last year and took seventh this year.

The field was stronger and faster this year.”

Sophomore Clint Fincher led the Trojans. He finished 27th with a time of 16:33.9.

“Clint continues to improve as he gains experience,” said Zylstra.

Junior William Terpstra was 33rd

in 16:46.2. Senior Tommy Troxel was 37th at 16:54.7 and senior Matt Fox was 41st at 17:01.8 “William remains solid as do Tommy and Matt,” said Zylstra.

Junior Xavier Ross was 62nd with a time of 17:34.9. Senior Andy Mittlestaedt was 68th with a time of 17:43.5 and freshman Caleb Mitchell was 69th with a time of 17:43.9.

“Xavier, Andy and Caleb continued to work hard at closing the gap between our top four runners and the next three,” said Zylstra.

On the girls’ side, Timothy took 11th with 272 points.

Freshman Hope Clark placed 34th with a time of 20:20.9. Sophomore Olivia Reamer was 44th with a time of 20:29.2. Freshman Elise Terpstra was 61st with a time of 21:10.6.

Junior Annika Ward was 63rd with

a time of 21:15.4. Sophomore Jill Forgac was 83rd with a time of 22:49.5. Sophomore Morgan Hoving was 91st with a time of 23:30.1 and Marisa Silivia was 104th with a time of 26:48.8.

“Hope continues to get better each race and the ceiling really is unknown for both Hope and Olivia,” said Zylstra. “Elise (William Terpstra’s sister) is a really solid contributor as a freshman as is newcomer Annika Ward. Jill is making strides to close the gap between our fourth and fifth runners.”

Timothy competed in the Lisle Mane event this past weekend.

It was the first of three instances where Timothy will race on the Lisle course. Both Timothy’s regional and sectional races also are hosted by Lisle High School.

Another week and another lopsided victory for the IC Catholic Prep football team.

IC Catholic Prep clinched an automatic playoff berth with the win and also moved to 2-0 in MSC Blue play.

Last year, the Knights defeated R-B only 14-7.

This season, IC Catholic Prep has defeated its six opponents by an average of more than 42 points.

In the win against R-B, quarterback Luke Ricobene completed 19 of 25 passes for 342 yards and threw five touchdown passes spread out to four players.

IC Catholic Prep returns to action Friday against Wheaton Academy in another MSC Blue game in Elmhurst.

York football The York football team was eliminated from playoff contention after a 34-17 loss on the road to Oak Park-River Forest in West Suburban Conference Silver Division play.

The loss dropped the Dukes to 1-5 overall and 0-3 in WSC Silver play.

York has lost four in a row.

Quarterback Luke Ricobene threw for more than 300 yards and five touchdowns in the victory. He also ran in a touchdown against a team the Knights had beaten by only a touchdown a year ago. IC Catholic Prep now turns its attention to another Metro Suburban Blue foe in Wheaton Academy. The Warriors started the season 4-0 but lost to R-B by a 32-0 count in Week 5 and dropped a 28-14 game to Glenbard South (still to come on IC Catholic Prep’s schedule) in Week 6. Wheaton Academy’s four wins came against teams with a combined 3-17 record heading into Week 6.

IC Catholic Prep boys golf team wins Metro Suburban Blue title Hurt finishes second at MSC girls’ tournament; Leahy and Morris all-conference

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

To say it came down to the wire for the IC Catholic Prep boys golf team would be putting it mildly.

The Knights finished second at the Metro Suburban Conference Blue Division tournament held at The Sanctuary Golf Course in New Lenox.

“It was an interesting but ultimately successful day,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Don Sujack.

After 18 holes, IC Catholic Prep tied for second in the tournament with Illiana Christian—a team that handed the Knights its only regularseason dual-meet loss heading into the tournament. That win put Illiana ahead of the Knights in conference points.

The tie was broken on a fifthscorecard tiebreaker, allowing the Knights to claim sole possession of second in the tournament and that combined with their points earned from the regular season gave IC Catholic Prep the overall 2016 MSC title.

Connon Leahy led the Knights with a fifth-place 81. Trey Morris followed with a 10th-place 83 round.

“We had some tough conditions and it was our first 18-hole tourna-

ment in two weeks,” said Morris.

“We all pointed out the flaws in our games out there and we’re working hard to correct them.”

Charlie Schoonveld added an 84, while John Hoffman and Troy Simonides both shot 85 and one of those 85s ended up as the tiebreaker.

“A combination of challenging conditions on a course that we seemingly never play well at made for a tense day,” said Sujack.

“While nobody played particularly well, our depth saved the day. We could have even gone to our sixth score (Michael Hoffman) and still won the tiebreaker. We are glad to be past this hurdle and are very happy to bring home the hardware.”

Based on regular-season and conference tournament play, Leahy and Morris both earned all-MSC Blue honors.

“It’s a credit to how good we can be this postseason,” said Morris of the team’s conference round. “None of us had our best stuff by any means and the fact we were able to get the job that we came there for done, is great. It’s one of the only MSC titles we have at the school and it’s one of the goals we wanted to accomplish.”

Morris said the team remained upbeat as the finals scores rolled

into the clubhouse.

“We have such a good group of guys,” said Morris. “We came off the course and were joking and laughing and everybody was loose hoping things would turn our way.

We heard Charlie pulled through, which was awesome and then we were all happy and excited and laughing and loose. We were happy we were able to pull that one out.”

Earlier this week, the Knights played in the Seneca regional at Nettle Creek in Morris where berths in this coming week’s sectional were on the line.

“This is what we have prepared for,” Morris said of the postseason.

“One thing Sujack said to us at the end of the regular season was someone said they couldn’t believe it was the end of the season. He said our season is just starting. Now, we’re on to the next goal which is to win regionals.”

Hurt second at MSC girls’ tournament Defending Class A state girls’ champion Maddie Hurt took second at the Metro Suburban Conference tournament held at Glendale Lakes in Glendale Heights.

Hurt shot an 83 at Glendale Lakes—a score, IC Catholic Prep coach Don Sujack noted, was main-

ly attributed to scores on holes 16 and 18 that contained greenside bunkers.

“Maddie had trouble with the greenside bunkers,” said Sujack.

“In spite of all that, she shot 83 in the wind and rain. Intermittent squalls created some conditions we hadn’t faced this fall.”

Hurt played in a Class A girls’ regional at Lost Marsh in Hammond,

Ind., earlier this week where berths in the sectional round were at stake.

“After collecting herself, Maddie’s irritated as much as Maddie can be irritated,” said Sujack.

“Now it’s time to begin defense of her state title. She’s very motivated for the playoffs. She’s on top of her game and I expect she will perform quite well throughout the regionals, sectionals and state tournament.”

The Dukes will look to snap a four-game losing streak as they face Proviso West at home. The Panthers have played an extremely tough schedule. Heading into Week 6, the Panthers’ opponents had a combined record of 22-3 (Proviso faced unbeatens Lyons, OPRF and Hinsdale Central in succession). Proviso West lost 35-0 to Willowbrook, while York lost 17-0 to Willowbrook.

York boys golf team places second at WSC Silver meet Dukes place four on all-conference team; Frosh-soph team concludes successful season

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York boys golf team placed second at the recent West Suburban Conference Silver Division tournament held at Prairie Bluff in Lockport.

Hinsdale Central won the conference title. York shot 310.

Mark Leali led the Dukes with a one-over 73 in windy conditions.

Joining Leali on the all-WSC Silver team were Tom Manning, Mitchell Russell and Kyle Kubycheck.

Manning, Russell and Kubycheck each shot 70s at conference.

“I was proud of all our kids,” said York coach Jim Borel. “This was the first time we had four all-conference performers.”

In earlier action, the Dukes took fourth at the 13-team Hinsdale Central invitational with a season-low

297 score for 18 holes.

Leali shot a 2-under 70 to lead York. Jake Brown shot 75, while Kubycheck and Russell each had 76s. Jake Czernik shot 78.

York’s freshman-sophomore team also took second at the WSC Silver tournament behind Hinsdale Central.

Aidan Mann shot a two-over 74 to take second in the field, while Jacob Wit shot 76 and took third in the meet held at Bloomingdale Golf Club.

In other recent frosh-soph play, York won the Willowbrook invitational at Sugar Creek in Villa Park.

Freshman Josh LaBountry shot an even-par 64 and Mann shot 68. York won by 10 strokes over second-place Lyons Township in the 18-team event.

“We are excited for this year and for future years because we have

York’s Leali finishes second at WSC Silver golf tournament Dukes’ senior also shot season-best twounder 70 at Hinsdale Central invitational

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

York senior Mark Leali is a quick study.

Leali started seriously playing golf his freshman year when he decided to try out for the Dukes’ team.

“I had a couple friends who were playing. I decided to try out and it worked out in the long run,” he said.

“Before that it was only an occasional round and once I started playing freshman year I started playing a lot of golf.

I’ve improved a lot over time.”

“

We are pretty confident going into the state series.

We’re hoping for a good run.”

– Mark Leali, York senior

That improvement was on display last week at Prairie Bluff in Lockport where Leali posted a 73 to finish second individually at the West Suburban Conference Silver Division meet.

“I was hitting a lot of greens and my putting was pretty decent as well,” said Leali. “I probably hit 13 or 14 greens and some of the ones I missed it was either on the fringe or in the first cut of rough around the green.”

Leali estimated his putting total for 18 holes was around 28-30. “I had a pretty exceptional day putting and my ball striking was good. It was pretty windy there. The conditions were tough.”

That short game has helped Leali

shave strokes off his scorecard this season.

“My putting has gotten a lot better,” he said. “I was lacking in that category the last couple years. I went and practiced and sharpened my putting. I’ve spent more time with the short game. It’s paid off. I’m getting up and down and those percentages have gone up and that’s where you lower your scores.”

Overall, Leali was pleased with his round. “I’m pretty happy,” he said. “I got second and the winner beat me by seven shots. I was playing with him (Brendan O’Reilly from Hinsdale Central) and he was unreachable. He was six-under. He played a great round in that wind.”

Leali, who was leading York in nine-hole average at 37.56 through late last week and had three sub-80 rounds in 18-hole events, said he wasn’t surprised by his round, adding his response to the question should not be interpreted as cockiness. “I knew I had it in me. I’ve been shooting well all year,” he said.

“I’m confident and not cocky. My ball-striking is there and my overall game is there.”

Leali has performed well late in the season. Prior to the conference meet, he carded a season-low twounder 70 at the Hinsdale Central invitational held at Carriage Greens.

“I feel like I’m playing well right now,” he said. “I’m ready for the state series (which started earlier this week with regional play), for sure.”

And Leali is confident his York team is ready for the postseason as well. “We’ve been pretty successful this season,” he said late last week.

“We have regionals coming up and then sectionals. We are pretty confident going into the state series. We’re hoping for a good run.”

a ton of talent throughout the program,” said Borel. “The kids worked hard all year and it was fun to see them improve as the season went along.”

The York varsity opened postseason play earlier this week in a Class 3A regional at Indian Lakes in Bloomingdale.

“There are some good teams in our regional, but if we play like we have been playing we are confident

we will be competitive.”

Through late last week, York was averaging 154.0 for nine holes as a team. Leali was leading the way at 37.56, while Manning was at 39.58 and Brown was averaging 39.59.

Kubycheck was at 40.31, while Wit was at 40.4 and Czernik was at 40.46 and LaBounty was averaging 40.54 for nine.

On the frosh-soph level, York was averaging 157.4 for nine holes.

LaBounty averaged 34.25 on the frosh-soph level for nine holes, while Wit was at 37.6 and Mann was at 38.09. Matt Buckley averaged 40.2 and Blair Faber averaged 41.3. Wit placed fifth at Willowbrook with a 71, while Faber was sixth with a 73.

The York frosh-soph team finished 7-2 overall in duals and 4-2 in WSC Silver play. The Dukes entered three regular-season tournaments and won all of them.

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York girls cross-country team handled itself well at a pair of competitive invitationals.

A key emphasis for the Dukes remains pack running. “The team is focusing on pack running.

We have been separating too much in the meets,” said DeAngelis. “We’re also focusing on a strong start to help the pack and we’re working on our finishing speed.”

Overall, DeAngelis likes the direction the group is headed in. “The coaching staff has been thrilled with the team’s progress,” she said. “We feel we are continuously getting stronger and we have seen less injuries. We have a very young team with a lot

of potential.”

Page 38 - October 6, 2016 / The Elmhurst Independent To the Electors of the State of Illinois: The Illinois Constitution establishes a structure for government and laws. There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may propose changes to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in the Legislative Article. The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective. The purpose of this document is to inform you of proposed changes to the Illinois Constitution and provide you with a brief explanation and a summary of the arguments in favor of and in opposition to the proposed amendment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

YES –––– NO

threshold for executive, administrative, or professional employees to be considered exempt from the overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act will have significant adverse effects on businesses, nonprofit groups and associations, and employees. The Department of Labor’s new overtime rule will impose significant new economic costs and limit workplace flexibility, impede career and promotion opportunities, and make it harder for businesses and nonprofits to expand to meet the needs of their customers and constituents.

The new overtime rule will be particularly damaging to nonprofit organizations, including trade associations and chambers of commerce, that will be subject to the rule.

Q: What are the main legal arguments against the overtime rule A: The business groups’ lawsuit advances three legal arguments against the Department of Labor’s overtime rule: (1) the excessively high salary threshold contradicts the intent of Congress to have executive, administrative, and professional employees exempt from overtime; (2) the new automatic update provision, which would impose new salary thresholds every three years without going through rulemakings, is not authorized by the FLSA, and in fact the FLSA directs the secretary to make changes to these exemptions through the notice and comment regulatory process; and (3) the Department acted arbitrarily and capriciously in promulgating its new overtime rule, in violation of the federal Administrative Procedure Act Q: What other steps has your organization taken regarding the DOL’s new overtime regulation?

A: The U.S. Chamber and its federation of state and local partners have been highly active in this rulemaking from the outset. We met with the Secretary of Labor before the regulation was proposed, submitted extensive and comprehensive comments describing in detail the problems this regulation will cause, and have explained at every step how the Department has gone too far. The Chamber and its federation partners also sent a letter to Congress urging action to provide relief from this regulation. The letter had almost 370 groups signed on.
