Fraternal groups, businesses ask City to allow video gaming Quigley: City policy is hurting its own local businesses

By Dan McLeister For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — The Public Affairs and Safety (PAS) Committee is considering different options about allowing video gaming in Elmhurst: only for fraternal organizations like the American Legion and/or for restaurants with liquor licenses.

Norm Leader (2nd Ward), a member of the PAS Committee, stated “I made this referral on very narrow grounds. It is specifically to bring financial relief to the local Elmhurst American Legion post which is very much in need of help.

“I am not at this time advocating electronic gaming machines for Elmhurst as a whole, only for the American Legion. I believe that a full public discussion of video gaming is healthy and long overdue. There are

Learning safety and so much more Aim for the base of the fire – that was the lesson taught by Deputy Chief Bill Anaszewicz, pictured here helping these two sisters, Mary and Emily Gambill, how to operate a fire hose. It was all part of Fire Prevention Week, which culminated on Sunday, October 4 with an open house at the south fire station in Elmhurst. More photos inside this issue.

Continued from page 1 legitimate pros and cons, and they should be debated. My mind is quite open on this issue.”

One type of business that the City does not want is what Chris Healy (5th Ward), chairman of the PAS Committee, called “coffee shop video gaming establishments.”

Mayor Steve Morley stated that those types of establishments could be prohibited by requiring a liquor license.

Healy said a PAS Committee report to the City Council, might be issued after the next meeting in two weeks.

With more than twenty people crowded into a small

City conference room, representatives from the American Legion said they need more revenue since it is spending more money than it takes in.

Restaurant owners stated that they are losing money because people are going to neighboring municipalities, which offer video gaming. Brendan Fitzharris of Fitz’s Pub and Fitz’s Spare Keys said he needed money for new carpeting and other upgrades.

At a September 28th meeting of PAS Committee John Quigley of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said it is “unfair” for Elmhurst businesses not to have video

gaming.

“There needs to be a level playing field,” he said. “That is it in a nutshell.”

In a letter to the PAS Committee Quigley stated video gaming communities have a competitive advantage over Elmhurst.

“Family-owned restaurants and bars, and fraternal organizations numbering in the double digits, report through their owners and representatives, that Elmhurst residents who are patrons of their establishments are driving a short distance across the city limit to video gaming in Oakbrook Terrace, Bensenville, Villa Park,

Hillside and other municipalities. Video gaming, he said, is common in the Elmhurst area with seven of eight communities bordering Elmhurst participating in video gaming, both in DuPage and Cook counties.”

Quigley stated that state regulated gaming is common in Elmhurst including the Illinois lottery at numerous locations, pull tabs (at the American Legion) and bingo (by churches and fraternal organizations).

He also contended that video gaming is entertainment of an ancillary nature, not unlike bowling lanes or machines, dart boards, shuffle board tables, Golden Tee video golf-

ing, jukeboxes etc.

Quigley noted that July’s report from the Illinois Gaming Board shows that Fitz’s Irish Bulldog in Villa Park, owned and operated by the same family that runs Fitz’s Pub and Fitz’s Spare Keys in downtown Elmhurst, received 35 percent of its Net Terminal Income from video gaming. Also there was a corresponding increase in food and beverage sales at that location as well, he said.

Historical Museum earns two awards from state association ELMHURST — On September 25, 2015, the Elmhurst Historical Museum staff was honored to receive two prestigious awards from the Illinois Association of Museums (IAM) during the organization’s annual conference in Springfield.

According to the award letter, Elmhurst Historical Museum earned the distinction of Midsize Institution of the Year for

“the many accomplishments of the museum which in the past year demonstrated its intent of serving audience and striving for, and fulfilling, best practices in several areas.”

In addition, the Elmhurst Historical Museum’s new core exhibit, “By All Accounts: The Story of Elmhurst,” was recognized with an Award of Excellence in the exhibits category.

The reviewers applauded “the

use of thematic towers, technology, a timeless design, and the focus on individual residents and their stories which permits for a greater impact on the local community.”

The review committee also commented positively on the source of funding for the exhibit, which was provided by a successful capital campaign initiated by the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation, the

501c3 support organization for the Elmhurst Historical Museum and Churchville Schoolhouse.

“We are fortunate to have a talented, hard-working, and resourceful staff supported by the volunteer board of the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation as well as the City of Elmhurst,” Brian Bergheger, executive director of the Elmhurst Historical Museum, said. “These

awards are a direct result of the amazing effort put forth by the entire team. For the IAM to honor us with two awards this year is a testament to the transformation that has been taking place over the last few years to raise the level of quality and scholarship here at the Elmhurst Historical Museum. I am very proud of our staff and truly appreciate being honored by the IAM committee.”

Clarification In last week’s Independent, a story appeared about electronic signs in residential neighborhoods. At the end of the article, there was a list of alderman who voted to send the report back to the Development Planning & Zoning Committee, but 4th Ward Alderman Noel Talluto was dropped from the list. The story said Talluto “understood both sides of the issue,” but did not report how she voted. She voted along with Aldermen Scott Levin, Marti Deuter, Michael Bram and Dannee Polomsky to send the report back to committee. The Independent regrets any confusion.

While mattress manufacturers would like consumers to believe that each has a product that produces the best night’s sleep, there really is no scientific consensus as to what qualifies as a good mattress. One study on the subject showed that people sleeping on a hard mattress did slightly worse than those sleeping on body-conforming foam mattresses or water beds in terms of sleep quality and back symptoms. Another suggested that sleeping on a “pressure relief” mattress provided no benefit over a conventional mattress. With all this in mind, consumers should be advised that the best mattress for them is the one that is most comfortable. If a mattress is more than ten years old or has sags, it should be replaced.

Time to salute a tireless energizer of the business community

T

here has been mention from time to time about the fact that I am currently serving as Chairman of the Board of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry. My year is soon wrapping up, but not before we share a little fun and excitement – and a few laughs – with our fearless leader.

On October 12, 2015, the odometer is going to flip over on John R. Quigley, president and CEO of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry – yes, he’s marking his 60th year on the Planet Earth. In addition, John recently celebrated 15 years with the Elmhurst Cham-

Under my father’s fedora...

Editor ber (okay, it was about a year ago, but who’s counting?) as well as 30 years involved in Chamber work.

When you do the math, you realize he has spent 25%

of his life at the ECCI; 50% with chambers. Upon hearing about that, John said he was depressed! Go figure.

To lift him out of the depression, the Board of Directors and I are hosting The Shindig for Quigs on the evening of Friday, October 9 from 7 p.m.-12 midnight at Mack’s Golden Pheasant in their newly-remodeled banquet space on the lower level. It’s an open party with a cash bar featuring our own private bartenders (no waiting!) and the public is invited to stop in.

At a party for John Quigley, you simply have to have Mountain Dew, so from 7-9 p.m.,

Living the fantasy M

y daughter and I live with a bunch of guys, so it wasn’t much of a surprise when they suggested a family fantasy football league. They are good at thinking up ways to beat us in various competitions – and not watching chick flicks.

The fantasy league wasn’t such a bad idea. I figured it would generate a friendly atmosphere of competition and provide a shared sense of engagement during the big games. Plus it might even garner me a spot on the couch on Sunday afternoons. I was all in.

We started with the draft.

This is where you pick your team, not get ready for war.

Since my knowledge of professional football fits comfortably on the tip of a very sharp pencil, I was a little apprehensive.

My sons showed me there are apps for that. Our app walked us through the whole fantasy drafting process, gave us a play-by-play rundown of who’s who in football and ranked players according to their estimated fantasy worth and scoring potential.

How hard could it be?

I picked my roster and was feeling optimistic about my running backs, quarterbacks and couple other backs on my team. As a bonus, I’d scored a good-looking tight end (which refers to a football player, by the way).

Jill Pertler SLICES OF LIFE

After picking a team, you have to decide which players to put in your lineup each week.

This involves research into player injuries, team matchups, home field advantage and of course who has the best looking tight end. I read the predictions and checked the stats and played my players accordingly.

The process was detailed and scientific. I was at the top of my game and ready to put it through the goalposts.

Then game day hit like a linebacker and I got clobbered like a scrambling quarterback.

Apparently getting your butt kicked in fantasy football is easier than the odds lead you to believe. Either that or I’m just talented that way. For a few weeks now my mainliners have produced squat while the guys sitting on my bench put in outstanding performances.

Perhaps this whole fantasy thing is more of a nightmare than I thought.

It also changes the way you watch the game. Not that I’ve ever been much of a watcher,

but I assume if I had been I’d pick a specific team and root for a “W.” In fantasy football, it isn’t important which team wins the game, but whether your tight end catches a touchdown pass from your quarterback with your kicker successfully making the extra point.

It’s a possibility you could have a running back on one team and a wide receiver playing against your running back on the other. Knowing which team to cheer for is nearly impossible. Besides, none of this has ever been about the game; it’s about the fantasy.

Win or lose, I’m just glad I got invited. It’s allowing me the opportunity to spend quality time engaged in sports talk with my guys as well as enjoying an ongoing date with them every Sunday afternoon through at least the first week in February. (Which gives nonsporty types like me a whole month before March Madness brackets become a reality.)

As a bonus extra point, I’m happy to report that landing a spot on the couch during game day is no longer a fantasy.

That’s a big “W” for me under any league rules.

we’re calling it the “Mountain Dew Meet & Greet,” featuring all the Mountain Dew you can drink (don’t worry, the cash bar will be open, too). There will be some light appetizers and sweets served along with birthday cake! The cake will be cut around 8:30 p.m., then the party continues on as late as people care to stay (or until Mack’s closes). There will be some fun little party activities and games going on, but nothing too strenuous. Come for an hour or stay all evening, come early, come late, just come by!

Why celebrate John?

As the former Program Director for the now-defunct NSACI (Northwest & Schaumburg Association of Commerce & Industry), I know how demanding a Chamber job can be.

NSACI had 900 members and eight staff but the organization was so poorly managed, over a two-year period, we dropped to about 400 members – still with five or six employees, those who didn’t walk off the job in anger or quit like a thief in the night – we came in one morning to find a salesperson’s clearedout empty desk. A week later, the receptionist did the same thing.

The Elmhurst Chamber used to have 250-300 members and has now grown to almost 800.

John has done it with only one or two full-time employees and, of course, part-time interns from Elmhurst College. It’s the opposite scenario – the ECCI currently has two staff people – John and his right-hand Tessa Zemgulys (plus interns) -- but has grown the organization by leaps and bounds – almost tripled. The other Chamber had staff tripping over one another, but sent a great many members fleeing for the door.

The Chamber Board recently took a formal position and stepped up to support videogaming for the sake of its members in the food and beverage industry. It’s a position that was taken seriously, causing the City to at least sit up and take note. Not every Chamber has that kind of clout in their communities – but the Elmhurst Chamber does.

Thanks to John Quigley.

Something you should know – John has requested that in lieu of gifts, we donate to his favorite charity, which is the Elmhurst College Intern Reimbursement Program. You can write a check at the door that evening, if you wish.

Please drop by Mack’s Golden Pheasant for The Shindig for Quigs on Friday evening Oct. 9 anytime from 7 p.m. to midnight. Promise you a few laughs.

WhileOrthodontic single-stageSpecialist treatment Licensed during adolescence is often preferred, there is an argument to make for earlier treatment. Research shows that two-stage treatment (beginning at about age seven and continued later in early adolescence) greatly reduces the likelihood that protruding front teeth will either be knocked out or damaged in an accident. Because buck teeth are also commonly associated with mouthbreathing and speech problems that can invite unkind remarks from peers, earlier treatment is also often recommended as a means of averting emotional and social problems.

FAA claims less airplane noise when new runway opens

Morley: take complaints to congressmen

By Dan McLeister

For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials said there would be less airplane noise when a new runway is scheduled to open October 15th. But they did not say how much less noise.

During a meeting at Elmhurst City Hall on September 28th Paul Litke, FAA operations manager, said the new runway opening on October 15th would make operations at

O’Hare Airport more efficient.

The first priority is safety, he noted.

Arrival patterns over Elmhurst are about 7000 to 8000 feet, he explained, adding that the FAA does not measure airplane noise over 3000 feet.

Christiana Drouet, FAA regional executive manager, who said she is not a noise expert, explained that the noise contours around the airport are determined by a complex mathematical formula.

The Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL) represents noise as it occurs over a 24-hour period, with the assumption that noise events occurring at night (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.) are actually ten decibels louder

than they really are.

This ten-decibel number is applied to account for people’s greater sensitivity to nighttime noise, and the fact that events at night are often perceived to be more intrusive because nighttime ambient noise is less than daytime ambient noise.

Drouet noted that different types of airplanes have different noise levels.

The FAA is beginning work on the next step in a multiyear Noise Research Program that will update the scientific evidence on the relationship between aircraft noise exposure and its effects on communities around airports. That report should be completed in 2016 when it will be sent to

Congress.

The current level of 65 DNL was set in 1982 as the number needed for home and school insulation programs with government funds. No areas in Elmhurst qualify because the noise level is lower than that figure.

“Is there any movement to reduce the number to 55 DNL?” Mayor Steve Morley asked.

“Yes, there is a movement afloat,” Drouet responded.

Morley commented that was another piece of good news after the first piece about the October 15th runway opening.

Also, Morley asked if there was any plan to phase out older noisier airplanes.

Drouet responded that some airlines are phasing out older engines.

Further, Morley asked how noise complaints from residents should be handled.

Drouet commented that the FAA does not handle noise complaints. But she added that “we are a resource if people have concerns.” She added that residents should contact their congressmen or the City of Chicago Aviation Department.

Morley made similar comments.

“When people are caught in red tape, they should go to their congressmen,” he said.

“That is why there are elected officials.”

The Kids of Elmhurst Children’s Theatre Cut Loose!

Now in rehearsals for Footloose the Musical

ELMHURST — It is unknown who is more excited about ECT’s upcoming production of Footloose the Musical – the actors or their parents! Inspired by the wildly popular 1984 movie, Footloose is packed with highenergy dancing, vintage costumes and songs that defined the 1980s.

What is it like to work with the cast on such an iconic

piece of pop culture?

“Awesome! The kids are having a blast,” said show director David Rice. “It’s great to introduce them to something we grew up with.

They are learning to appreciate the good old days of the eighties. It’s also a great teenage ‘coming of age’ story no matter what era it’s set in.”

(It’s true: Rice had a small part in the film “She’s Having a Baby” that starred Kevin Bacon.)

“Our eighties costumes are so fun and colorful,” said Julia Stone, eighth grader at Sandburg. “And the plan is

to make our hair really, really big. I’m so happy to be a part of this amazing show and the cast is like my second family.”

Footloose tells the story of Ren McCormack who is transplanted from Chicago to the small farming town where he experiences a heavy dose of culture shock – including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher. Ren tries to gain support from his friends to overturn the extreme ban and while doing so, he catches the attention of the preacher’s daughter. The heartfelt message celebrates

Arm Yourself...

! u l f e h t against

the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and open mind.

Sebastian Rohn, an eighth grader at Bryan, explained that he’s having a lot of fun playing the main character.

“After seeing the original movie, I’m trying to mix some of Kevin Bacon and my own take on Ren,” he said.

“I also really like my part because I get to do all kinds of dancing!”

The incredible pop/rock score features such hits as “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” “Almost Paradise,” “Holding Out for a Hero,” and the hit title song by Kenny Loggins that will have audiences dancing in their seats – “Footloose.” According to Rice, the trio performance of “Learning To Be Silent” is his favorite part of the show.

“It gives me goose bumps every time they sing it.”

The 43-member cast of

Footloose includes Elmhurst community children in grades 5th through 8th. The actors have been rehearsing their singing, dancing and acting skills for the past two months as well as plastering show posters throughout town.

Sarah Giordano is the music director and Shanae Sterba arranged the show’s choreography.

Footloose runs Friday, October 16 at 7 p.m., Saturday, October 17 at 2 and 7 p.m. and Sunday, October 18 at 2 p.m. at Bryan Middle School, 111 W. Butterfield Road in Elmhurst. All tickets are $8 and are sold at the door.

Group reservations of 15 or more receive priority seating and a backstage tour. Contact Michelle Maiers at 630832-0667 or mmaiers@elmhurstchildrenstheatre.com.

Fire Department responds to fire caused by soldering of pipes Dog rescued from Elmhurst house fire

ELMHURST — On the afternoon of Oct. 1 at 2:19 p.m., the Elmhurst Fire Department along with mutual aid companies responded to a report of single-family house fire in the 200 block of north Highland Avenue.

Upon arrival firefighters found smoke and fire coming

from the side of the house.

There was one occupant in the house who had self-evacuated.

The fire was extinguished and smoke was cleared. One minor injury was reported and treated at the scene and a dog was rescued from the house.

The fire caused substantial damage in the bathroom and second floor of the home. The fire was caused by the soldering of pipes during a plumbing repair.

Still work to do, state senators agree SPRINGFIELD — Currently, Illinois college students are paying more than double the national average to attend a public four-year university, university administrators are receiving lavish country club memberships and inflated housing and travel allowances on top of their quarter of a million dollar salaries.

To combat this problem, House Bill 3593 was signed into law recently. This new law will help reform the misuse and abuse of taxpayer dollars at public community colleges in Illinois.

House Bill 3593 amends the Public Community College Act with a series of reforms to address the College of DuPage’s extravagant severance package given to its outgoing President Robert Brueder.

This new law includes three major reforms: • First, all new severance agreements for outgoing community college employees are limited to one year and benefits.

• Second, public notice is required for any new or amended contracts entered into with employees.

• Third, this legislation no

longer allows boards to enter into contracts with automatic renewals or extensions. All contracts must have start and end dates that cannot exceed four years. Under this legislation, contract extensions and renewals would be granted during open board meetings.

Last month, many legislators were outraged at the abuse of state dollars at the University of Illinois’ resigning Chancellor Phyllis Wise’s severance package. Most, including State Senator Tom Cullerton (D-Villa Park), agreed the bonus provisions outlined in Wise’s severance packages should never have existed.

House Bill 3593 only addresses reforms at the community college level, the measure doesn’t include reforms to public universities.

“We have seen enough already,” Cullerton said.

“Working families should be able to rely on our state community colleges and universities to use tuition dollars to educate their children, not to dine on the taxpayer’s dime.”

House Bill 3593 was signed into law on September 22, 2015, and goes into effect immediately.

Biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann to receive Niebuhr Medal ELMHURST —Elmhurst College will award its highest honor, the Niebuhr Medal, to The Reverend Walter Brueggemann (Class of 1955), widely known as the foremost Christian scholar of the Hebrew Bible.

Rev. Brueggemann will be the first Elmhurst College alumnus ever to receive the Niebuhr Medal, established in 1995 to recognize extraordinary service to humanity. The Niebuhr Medal reflects the values of esteemed Elmhurst graduates Reinhold and H. Richard Niebuhr, two of the 20th century’s most influential theologians.

Elmhurst College will host two public events to mark the

occasion. On Friday, Oct. 23 at 4 p.m., Brueggemann and Elmhurst College Chaplain H. Scott Matheney will discuss the legacy of the Niebuhrs—in particular, their impact on his life and work, and on the life of the College—during “Reflections with the Chaplain.” The event will be held in the Prospect Room of the Frick Center. It is free and open to the public.

On Sunday, Oct. 25, Rev. Brueggemann will preach at both the 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. services at Fourth Presbyterian Church in Chicago (126 E. Chestnut St.).

A widely published author, no scripture scholar in Ameri-

ca sells more books or informs more sermons than Brueggemann. A United Church of Christ minister, he is professor emeritus of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia. His most devoted readers are not his fellow academics, but his fellow ministers. His work occupies a place of prominence in the libraries of pastors because it renders the otherwise remote and inaccessible world of the Old Testament timely and pertinent.

The Niebuhr Medal first was awarded on April 2, 1995, to Nobel laureate and political activist Elie Wiesel, Holocaust

survivor and author of the landmark book, Night. Other recipients include Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, archbishop of Chicago; Marian Wright Edelman, founder and president of the Children’s Defense Fund; Lech Walesa, the first democratical-

ly elected president of Poland; Millard and Linda Fuller, cofounders of Habitat for Humanity International; historian and author Arthur Schlesinger; and Gustavo Gutiérrez, the Peruvian theologian regarded as the father of Liberation Theology.

Church holds public veneration of Saint’s relics

NORTHLAKE — All who are interested are invited to St. John Vianney Church located at 46 No. Wolf Rd. in Northlake for the public veneration of St. Maria Goretti. The Public Veneration begins Tuesday, October 13 at 9 a.m. and concludes at 6 a.m. on October 14. A Solemn Mass in honor of St. Maria will be held Tuesday at 7 p.m. For more information, call 708-562-0500 or visit SJV-parish.org.

First Congregational UCC celebrates 125 years on Oct. 11 Celebration kicks off Sunday with ringing of centennial bell

ELMHURST — In the words of Ernest Hemingway, “Time marches on for whom the bell tolls.”

To the sound of the bell, people have gathered in times of joy and sorrow.

This sentiment was noted by parishioners, clergy and administrators at First Congregational United Church of Christ, as they kick off a celebration of its 125 years in Christ’s service to the community of Elmhurst.

On Sunday, Oct. 11, the centennial bell at the church, located at 235 South Kenilworth Avenue, will arouse the neighbors, summoning one and all to wish the oldest English-speaking church in Elmhurst a Happy Birthday.

On Oct. 6, 1890, the Trustees of the church were instructed to build a sidewalk from the

east side of York Street to the corner where the church still stands. In 125 years, thousands have walked through the doors of “The Little Brown Church.”

Through the years, the church has changed in size and appearance, just as the community has around it.

Many amazing stories of “Elmhurst Stars” will be shared on Sunday, Oct. 11 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., as the church celebrates with a display of the history, a sing-along to the old pump organ, activities for kids of all ages, birthday cake and much more. The schedule is as follows: 9:45 a.m. – Bell ring and games for children of all ages.

10-11:15 a.m. – Service of Celebration – Stories of Elmhurst and its stars.

11:30-1 p.m. – Displays, activities, fellowship, refreshments.

1-3 p.m. – Open house with coffee, tea and Birthday Cake.

The celebration is free and open to the public. For more information, call 630-832-2580 or visit elmhurstucc.org.

Job seekers from across the suburbs flocked to Cullerton’s annual job fair, which this year featured more than 100 busi-

HUD awards nearly $2.6 million to fight housing discrimination in Illinois WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced last week that it would be awarding nearly $2.6 million under HUD’s Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) to eight organizations in Illinois to fight housing discrimination.

The funding provided through the competitive grants will support a range of fair housing enforcement efforts, such fair housing testing, as well as educating the public, housing providers and local governments about their rights and responsibilities under the Fair Housing Act. “Leveling the playing field and ending housing discrimination are at the core of our mission at HUD,” said HUD Midwest Regional Administrator Antonio R. Riley. “This local funding will help support community-based organizations that are on the front lines in the fight for equity in our nation’s housing market.”

York boys crosscountry team flying high Dukes preparing for conference showdown with Lyons Township

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

T

he York boys crosscountry team conquered a major challenge on its schedule by recently winning the always competitive Palatine invitational.

Now the Dukes are readying for yet another key matchup Thursday at Lyons Township.

“They are ranked second in the state and we are fourth,” said legendary York coach Joe Newton. “It’s going to be a battle of the giants. It will be a heck of a meet.”

Newton has been pleased with what he’s seen from his group in recent weeks. “They guys are training hard and are competitive,” he said. “I’m pretty happy right now. We won Palatine and beat Hinsdale Central there. They were ranked fourth and we were fifth in the state at the time.

That’s a big upset. I said there I’m 86 years old and I felt like I was 52 that day. I was full of joy. We ran exceptionally well and that’s the only way you beat a team like that. They were ranked ahead of us and had beaten us earlier in the year at Peoria Notre Dame.”

York finished with 88 points at Palatine. Hinsdale Central was second at 97 in the 32-team event.

“It was close, but everything worked for us,” said Newton.

“Our guys either beat their guys or were very close. We ran a great race.”

But Newton used one of his favorite statements in talking about what is ahead for his team. “We ran well that day,” he said. “You have to do it on the day. Not on the day before or the day after. If it’s the state meet you have to do it on that Saturday. That’s a

}It was close, but

everything worked for us.

Our guys either beat their guys or were very close.

We ran a great race.”

Joe Newton, York coach very important statement. You have to be ready on the day.

The great ones have to be on that day.”

Newton continues to marvel at the team’s chemistry this season. “It’s an old-fashioned York team,” he said. “They like each other and they hang around each other. The guys study and get good grades and are very respectful and are humble. It’s a great group.”

Sophomore Charlie Kern Jr. continues to excel for York.

“Charlie is the fourth returnee from last year’s state meet,” Newton noted. “He was eighth in the state as a freshman and he will be up there again. If the rest of our guys are in the Top 25 we will be in the hunt.

These guys will be ready to take on the task. It’s a very strong group. They run in a pack. At Palatine I think our two through five guys were only (about 13) apart. That’s really good group running.

But we have to do it on the day and we have to do it with group running.”

Also at Palatine, York’s sophomore team won the championship thanks to three runners in the Top 4.

The Dukes’ freshman team finished fourth. “The freshmen finishing fourth out of 32 teams was sensational,” said Newton. “They ran very well.”

At the varsity level at Palatine, Kern Jr. finished seventh with a time of 14:56.4. Senior

Max Denning was 14th with a time of 15:14.13. Senior Jon May was 17th with a time of 15:16.3. Senior Devon Davies was 27th with a time of 15:27.1, while senior Robert Tomaska was 28th with a time of 15:27.8. Tommy Devereux, a senior, took 43rd with a time of 15:41.6.

On the sophomore level, York won the team title with 58 points. Hersey was second with 88 points. Sean MacGregor won the individual title with a time of 15:42.9.

Tim Stevenson was third at 15:59.7. Jackson Bode was fourth at 16:06.2. Danny Honquest was 21st with a time of 16:42.1 and MarkMorgan was 29th with a time of 16:49.9.

York’s freshmen finished in fourth with 162 points. Mundelein won the meet with 95 points. Brendan Hill took seventh with a time of 13:37.2 to lead the way for the Dukes.

Eddie Ryan was 13th with a time of 13:52.5. Billy Kluth was 31st with a time of 14:20.8. Antonio Lepore was 55th with a time of 14:48.7.

Pierre Cuyeu was 56th with a time of 14:49.3.

York also was fourth on the junior varsity. Dominic Castanoli finished 21st with a time of 16:49.8. Matt Fleshood was 26th with a time of 16:52.6. Alec Deuter was 29th with a time of 16:56.0. Ed Liebeno was 33rd with a time of 16:58.5 and Jack Davis was 37th with a time of 17:01.3.

Linebackers helping in York football team’s development Gaughan, Rasnic and Hanrahan making plays for Dukes

A

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

football team is comprised of different units on both sides of the ball.

And it’s each of those units that ultimately help determine the extent of a team’s overall development.

One such group that has played a key role in the progress the York football team is making under second-year coach Matt Monken is its linebackers, led by strong-side linebacker Quinn Gaughan, middle linebacker Robert Hanrahan and weakside linebacker Sam Rasnic.

“We trust each other and play as a unit,” said Gaughan, a returning

starter from a year ago along with Hanrahan. “We all flow to the ball and we all read the same keys and that allows us to be more effective as a unit.”

Gaughan noted the unit has benefitted simply by having another year of experience under its belt. “The experience has made a huge difference,” he said. “The varsity game is a lot faster than the sophomore game. The experience and poise we have makes the unit a lot stronger. We’re very level-headed when it comes game time.”

Rasnic lauded the work the York coaching staff has done, particularly linebackers coach Erik Westerberg. If that name sounds familiar it’s because it is. Westerberg starred at York and later went on to have an extremely productive career at Illinois Wesleyan University where he was named a Division III All-American his senior year and earned a host of other

athletic and academic accolades.

“It starts with the coaches putting us in a great position to succeed,” Rasnic said. “Then or linemen are taking care of blockers up front and the safeties and corners have our backs the whole game as well.”

Gaughan said Westerberg brings plenty of experience to the table.

“He brought back tradition and has brought back the same fire that he played with against these same opponents we play,” he said. “He has a lot of knowledge about the game. He has four years of college experience. He is one of the best to learn from.”

“Coach Westerberg uses his experience to help us prepare not only physically but mentally for our games,” Rasnic said.

Gaughan said another building block for the linebackers as well as the rest of the team has been an increased weight-training program.

“Coach Monken brought in a strong offseason weightlifting program,” he said. “That has shown a lot this year in our ability to play with these teams.

Kids got in the weight room. It allows us, especially with the linebackers, to get off blocks and make big tackles and be where we need to be.”

“The weight training gives us a larger edge on the field,” said Rasnic.

“We’re able to take on blockers and make tackles much better than the year before.”

Rasnic likes how the program as a whole continues to move forward.

“Coach Monken stresses teamwork and everybody being together and working toward a common goal.

Everybody is out there helping each other out. If you get blocked, you know there is another guy there who will make the play. We know where each other is going to be in games.

We’re out there having a fun time on the field.”

Timothy Christian boys soccer team readying for postseason Trojans strong in victory over Elmwood Park

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The Timothy Christian boys soccer team overcame a little recent adversity.

After a tough 5-2 Metro Suburban Conference East Division loss to Ridgewood, the Trojans battled back for a 2-0 MSC East win over Elmwood Park at home.

“We had some adversity on the turf at Ridgewood,” said Timothy coach Steve Fernandes. “They were a good side and we didn’t show up. It was a tough game. We knew they would be one of the stron-

ger teams we play. It’s not a surprise that we lost, but in the fashion we did. I wasn’t expecting to lose 5-2. We were down 4-1 at halftime and had more shots on goal. We created decent chances. They finished theirs and we didn’t. The score didn’t show how the game went.”

Mitch Evenhouse and Jimmy Allen each had a goal in the loss against Ridgewood, while Nate Daniels and Ben Lodewyk each had a goal in the win over Elmwood Park. Lodewyk, in his first game back after injury, assisted on Daniels’ goal.

“In the Elmwood Park game the one thing we worked on and talked about was communication,” said Fernandes.

“On set pieces we were talking to each other and we were bringing each other up during

the game. That didn’t happen against Ridgewood, but it did against Elmwood Park. When we talk we’re a good soccer team. When we don’t talk we aren’t. The Elmwood Park win was a good comeback for us.”

Fernandes saw two different teams in the two conference contests. “Ridgewood worked hard and moved the ball fast on that turf and quite honestly we were a little scared,” he

said. “With Elmwood Park we talked about that and we came out with more confidence.”

The split left Timothy, which earned a No. 1 regional seed in the upcoming state tournament, at 9-2 overall and 3-1 in MSC East play.

“I love that the boys get along so well with each other,” said Fernandes. “They want to get better together and they want to be a great soccer team. We

Andrade also tipped his cap to sophomore Jack Hill. “Jack has played well,” the coach said. “He’s only a sophomore and is playing outside-mid on the right. In the beginning he would jog calmly to the ball and would be very nice. I teach kids how to play hard with their body but not foul. Now, Jack runs hard to the ball and goes to the body. That’s something I like to see. Contact is part of the game and it’s something we work on in practice. Soccer is nothing like football, but you have to learn how to play a physical style. The key is to play a good physical style and not foul anybody.”

IC Catholic Prep will play in the MSC Cup crossover series this week against a team from the MSC East Division, likely either Walther Christian or Guerin Prep.

IC Catholic Prep boys soccer team winding up regular season Ramirez, Simmons score goals in DeLaSalle game

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The IC Catholic Prep boys soccer team’s inaugural regular season is just about in the books.

The Knights, in their first year as a varsity program, dropped a 5-2 game to Chicago DeLaSalle in their penultimate game prior to the start of the state playoffs.

“In all our games before we’ve played with a lot of heart,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Javier Andrade. “They know they are improving, but we made some early mistakes that caught us. DeLaSalle is a very skilled team. I’m not disappointed. The program is growing. We are in the developmental stage. The way you learn is by losing and learning from your mistakes. We played pretty well, but not at the level I expect them to play. It was fun to watch us make some good passes, but it also was not fun to watch us make mistakes like we did. We have to keep reminding ourselves that a lot of people on the team haven’t played soccer before or are in the learning stages of it.”

Hector Ramirez and Jon Simmons each had a goal for IC Catholic Prep in the loss.

Through 11 games Allen was leading the team in scoring with 18 goals. “Jimmy’s been huge for us,” said Fernandes.

“He’s played great the whole season. There have been a couple times this season where he singlehandedly took on two or three defenders and scored.”

Timothy Christian girls tennis team improves to 12-1 Trojans’ crosscountry teams perform well at Aurora Central Catholic

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The Timothy Christian girls tennis team scored a recent 3-2 non-conference win over Fenwick.

Through late last week the Trojans were 12-1 overall in dual meets and a perfect 4-0 in Metro Suburban Conference East Division matches.

In the win over Fenwick, the Timothy No. 1 doubles team of Abygale Ahn and Ellie Wiener were 6-2, 6-1 winners.

Timothy standout No. 1 sin-

gles player McKenna Byrne suffered her first loss of the season to Laura Gutierrez, a Top 32 state qualifier last year, by a score of 6-4, 3-6, (10-8).

Byrne had a 16-1 record through late last week and also recently recorded a win over highly touted freshman Jennifer Lewis of Chicago University High.

Ahn was 13-1 overall and had two wins over 2014 state qualifiers in Kelly Hodyl from IC Catholic Prep (6-1, 6-2) and Leyden’s Jessica Minkov (6-1, 6-2).

“Abygale has had a big two weeks switching between doubles and singles,” said Timothy coach Keith Mills.

Danielle Beard was 17-3 between No. 2 singles and No. 2 doubles.

“We have a positive mental

attitude and our consistency has improved a lot in the last two weeks,” said Mills.

Mills said focus continues to be a point of emphasis as the season heads into the home stretch. “We’re working on staying focused against all opponents and continuing to do things throughout a match,” he said.

Timothy played Elmwood Park earlier this week.

“We have our sights set on winning conference and challenging York in the sectional in two weeks,” said Mills late last week.

Timothy Christian cross country Pack running aided the Timothy Christian boys crosscountry team at the recent Charger Classic hosted by

Aurora Central Catholic. The Trojans finished third as a team and took home their first trophy of the season.

Senior Michael Larkin led the way for the Trojans, finishing seventh with atime of 16:30. Sophomore Will Terpstra was 13th in 17:00. Junior Aidan Shervheim took 25th with a time of 17:19, while junior Matt Fox was 26th with a time of 17:22. Sophomore Xavier Ross was 27th with a time of 17:23. Junior Andy Mittlestaedt was 36th with a time of 17:32 and junior Tommy Troxel took 45th with a time of 17:56.

The Charger Classic race format allowed for up to 10 runners to participate at the varsity level (normally only 7 do).

“This was great for us

because it allowed all nine of our varsity runners to race together,” said Timothy coach Dick Zylstra.

Junior Jordan Scheidler took 57th with a time of 18:31, while junior Elijah Tornow was 60th with a time of 18:33.

“Jordan and Elijah took advantage and were able to demonstrate their value to our team effort,” said Zylstra.

In the girls’ race, senior Hannah Bosman took seventh with a time of 19:10 on the 2.92-mile course. Senior Megan Middel was 28th in 20:48. Freshman Olivia Reamer took 40th with a time of 21:07. Senior Nicole Terpstra was 42nd with a time of 21:21.

Junior Elsa Johnson was 79th with a time of 23:27. Those efforts helped Timothy place sixth as a team.

Jack Ricobene and John Hoffman each added 93s.

On the strength of the regular season and placement in the conference tournament, Morris and Leahy earned all-conference accolades.

“Everyone is a little disappointed right now,” said Knights coach Don Sujack.

“Having beaten Glenbard South earlier in the year we were tied for first place and we controlled our fate at the start of the tournament. Unfortunately we didn’t handle the elements very well. Hats off to Glenbard South. They posted a score that blew everybody away. While Sanctuary may be

a bit of an acquired taste, we all feel we could have competed a little more strongly.”

IC Catholic Prep’s Maddie Hurt left the boys team and competed in the Metro Suburban Conference girls tournament at Glendale Lakes in Glendale Heights.

Hurt tied for third in the tournament with an 86. Hurt was eight strokes back after

10 holes but then played a four-hole stretch at 2-under par to get back into the thick of things. Hurt finished two strokes behind the tournament champion.

“Maddie entered the tournament as defending champion and while it didn’t work out this time, her attempt to come back was fun to watch and her back-nine ball-striking

was stunning in wind conditions like she encountered,” said Sujack. “While Maddie was a little disappointed with her front-nine play, I think she is well-prepared to begin the IHSA playoffs.”

IC Catholic Prep’s boys team competed in the Morris regional earlier this week, while Hurt played in the girls Oak Lawn regional.

ELMHURST — The Timothy Christian girls volleyball team followed up its tournament victory at Manteno two weekends ago with two more victories last week.

The Trojans downed Aurora Central Catholic and Ridgewood to move to 21-3 overall and a perfect 7-0 in Metro Suburban Conference East Division action. The Ridgewood contest started the second round of division play.

“We are using this time to focus on playing our game,” said Timothy coach Scott Piersma. “We are using this time with the intention to do the right things on our side of the net. We have to make sure we are zoned in and focused and that we don’t get lackadaisical. It’s all the more reason to stay centered in. We know we have some very tough matches coming up at Illiana Christian, Chicago Christian and Latin School downtown. We’re getting ready for these last few weeks of the regular season and then it will be time to start the playoffs. It’s important that we be in the right zone both physically and mentally. We are working on figuring out how to focus and be 100 percent all the time. The goal is to be focused and be intentional with how we are playing.”

Piersma continues to be impressed by the play of middle Ava Venema and outside Kendra Teune.

“Ava has been lights out this year. No one has been able to stop her,” he said. “She’s hitting around .600 on the year.

And Kendra still is a big piece for us on the outside. They are a great inside and outside combination. We know we can send it over to either of them and get a kill.”

Piersma also was pleased with how the team responded at the Manteno tournament. Timothy lost a pool play match in three sets to Beecher, but came back to defeat Illiana Christian in the semifinals and Beecher in two sets in the final.

“We lost in pool play and

responded and played really well,” said Piersma. “We got to see Beecher again and we beat them in two. Illiana we beat in three at our place and beat them by two at Manteno. It’s nice to see that improvement on our side.”

Timothy traveled to Guerin Prep Tuesday and hosts Elmwood Park Thursday in two more MSC East contests.

The following week Timothy travels to Illiana Christian and Chicago Christian and also will play in the Plano tournament.

“That’s our last tournament of the regular season,” said Piersma in reference to the Plano event. “If we’re able to win that tournament, we will have defended all four of our regular-season championships from the year before.That’s something to look forward to.

It’s also a good way for us to measure where we are at with those matches that week.”

In a 25-20, 25-13 MSC crossover win over Aurora Central Catholic. Dani Van Laten had 17 assists and five digs. Teune had eight kills and two aces.

Venema had seven kills and two blocks, while Zoe Stanton and Abby Groters each had nine digs.

Van Laten had 16 assists, four aces and five digs in a 25-10, 25-16 win over Ridgewood.

Venema had six kills. Teune had seven kills and two aces.

Stanton finished with 10 digs.

Wheatland had a 74, while Russell shot 76 and Leali ended with a 77.

York Drama to stage ‘James and the Giant Peach’ ELMHURST — York High School has been honored with the rights to produce and perform the very first high school production of the brilliant musical, James and the Giant Peach based on the children’s book

by Roald Dahl. This musical features a captivatingly boister-

ous score by Tony-nominated songwriters Justin Paul and Benj Pasek (Edges, Dogfight and A Christmas Story, the Musical) and a script by awardwinning playwright Timothy Allen McDonald.

The show is based on the beloved book by Roald Dahl

“This is a huge honor and we are thrilled to bring what promises to be a magical experience

to the York stage,” said directors Rebecca Marianetti and John Forsythe. “Having our students play life size bugs and mystical creatures is definitely something new and exciting!

This is a show for the entire family and teaches many beautiful lessons on what is impor-

tant in life.”

Analysts ponder breaking point of budget impasse Will someone have to die before something is done?

By Greg Bishop

Illinois News Network

W

ill it take someone dying or maybe a credit downgrade to end the budget impasse in Illinois?

A couple of analysts are wondering what it will take to bring lawmakers together to pass a budget approaching the beginning of the fourth month of the new fiscal year without a spending plan in place. David Yepsen, Director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, speculates productivity is already taking a hit at departments and social service agencies because of the ongoing impasse.

“In a newsroom when it’s time to make cutbacks everyone sits around the water cooler and says ‘oh my god, what’s going to happen?’” Yepsen said. “There’s just a distraction all throughout government agencies and a lot of nonprofits. ‘What are we gonna do?

How are we going to pay for this?’”

Meanwhile Yepsen says a lower bond rating may be a tipping point, but says the actual factor to spur action is still unknown.

Retired University of Illinois

at Springfield politics professor Kent Redfield says vendors are not going to carry the state through the entire fiscal year but says nobody is sure what the catalyst will be to spur on a budget deal. He fears the tipping point will be something tragic.

“Somebody dies, somebody gets horrendously ill or damaged by the fact that we can’t get our act together so those things become symbols for you’ve got to do something,” he said.

Redfield says individual General Assembly members will put pressure on legislative leaders but it’s still unclear when a grand bargain will take place. The Secretary of State last week issued a letter to constitutional officers and legislative leaders with a list of concerns, including paying bills and providing services to taxpayers in the absence of a state budget.

Redfield: Budget impasse is “crazy situation” The current budget impasse has gone on for nearly three full months and some analysts speculate even if it’s solved right away, the impacts will be long-lasting. Redfield says the impasse is getting to the point where it will take a long time to recover.

“If we spend all of this year

and next year getting back to where we were in January of 2015 then we’re all a sudden getting close to the third year of the Governor’s administration and he really hasn’t been able to govern yet,” he said. “This is a crazy situation.”

Yepsen: Will take years to get out of financial mess The ongoing budget stalemate in Springfield will take years to cleanup while at the same time makes the Land of Lincoln an unappealing place to live … or do business.

Yepsen says the budget impasse makes the state unattractive to people thinking about relocating to Illinois or even staying in the state. He also says even if there were a budget deal tomorrow, it will take a long time to overcome the damage done.

“It’s gonna take years to get this state out of the financial mess that it’s in,” he said. “This is going to be a long road and it doesn’t make Illinois very attractive as a place to come and work in government or public service and it’s certainly unnerving to the business community.”

Yepsen speculates it could be well into January or possibly even until after the March primary before a budget deal for state government is finally put together and approved.

State Senate in recess till Oct. 20

By Greg Bishop Illinois News Network

Senators do not come back until October 20th.

They were originally scheduled to come back to Springfield next week but now state Senators won’t be back until October 20th. A spokesperson for Senate President John Cullerton says the Senate has been able to deal with vetoes in an efficient manner during summer session days and have passed a number of bills that are awaiting action in the House, including appropriations for child care, money for the Monetary Award Program, human services funding and what the Democrat says is a property tax compromise.

Cullerton’s office says they are hopeful that in the next three weeks before the newly scheduled Senate session there is measurable progress on the budget. Meanwhile the House isn’t back in session until October 20th.

Senate hearings this week Despite not being scheduled back in session until October 20th, Senators with the Higher Education Committee have two meetings this week to focus on the current financial state of higher education. The first meeting this Wednesday at Kennedy-King College in Chicago will evaluate the current budget impasses impacts on colleges and communities. A Senate Higher Education Committee scheduled Thursday at John A. Logan College in Carterville will focus on the same subject.

As of Tuesday afternoon the House does not have any committee meetings scheduled.

College of DuPage lowers levy and tuition while affording raises Residents of suburban DuPage County are set to get some property tax relief after College of DuPage board members approved a budget for their

fiscal year 2016 that cuts the property tax levy. The 4-1 vote Monday cuts the levy roughly $8 for a $200,000 home. The move also lowers student tuition by $5 per credit hour while still affording raises to faculty.

Board Chair Katherine Hamilton said the previous board took taxpayer money and filled previous budgets with wishes.

“CoD’s board and administration played our taxpayers, our students and our teachers for cash cows. This budget puts students first.”

Hamilton said the previous board and president Robert Breuder, who was placed on leave in April, treated the community college as a for-profit business. The lone “no” vote on the budget, Joe Wozniak, read a letter from an absent board member that said the budget was grotesque overspending.
