THURSDAY, NOV. 22, 2018

On Wednesday, Nov. 14, third grade students at Immaculate Conception Grade School celebrated a beloved tradition, the Third Grade Thanksgiving Feast. After weeks of studying about Native American culture and the early American settlers in Social Studies class, the students were asked to dress for the feast as either Native Americans or pilgrims. After a meal of turkey with all the trimmings, the students made crafts, played games, and learned more about Native American culture.

Elmhurst Police announce upcoming safety checks The Elmhurst Police Department continues to take part in a year-long traffic enforcement grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT).

The goal of this grant is to save lives by reducing fatal and serious injury crashes through additional enforcement of DUI and seatbelt laws.

Police departments across the country frequently see an in-

crease in impaired driving over the Thanksgiving holiday period.

The IDOT traffic safety grant allows extra officers to be on patrol watching for impaired drivers, seatbelt violations, and distracted drivers using their cell phones while driving.

The next campaign of this grant will begin Nov. 16th and continue through Nov. 26th.

Extra enforcement will be tak-

ing place at all hours, with a specific focus on the overnight hours.

Additional officers will be on duty during the grant period in an effort to keep Elmhurst roadways safe.

Motorists are always encouraged to drive carefully, to buckle up, and not to drink and drive.

Motorists who are planning to consume alcohol should make alternate driving arrangements.

Citizens are also encouraged to

Glenbard East student charged with threatening school Threats to school not a joke: Berlin

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin and Lombard Chief of Police Roy Newton announced on Tuesday, Nov. 13, that a male Glenbard East student had been charged with posting a threatening Snapchat video directed at his school. The juvenile appeared in Juvenile Court on that afternoon where Judge Robert Anderson ordered the juvenile be released to the custody of his parents on home detention.

On Monday, Nov. 12, 2018, Lombard police received information regarding a threatening Snapchat video post in which a male was allegedly seen holding a gun while threatening, “1, 2, 3, all the kids will leave. They’re not so cool because I’ll shoot up the school.” [Ed. note: Names of juveniles 17 and younger are

not published.]

An investigation into the post conducted by the Lombard Police Department led to the juvenile as the person who allegedly made the post. He was taken into custody later the same day without incident.

“As I have said many times in the past, students have got to learn that any threatening message directed at a school is not a joke,” Berlin said. “Any threat made against a school, whether made in jest or not, will be taken seriously and thoroughly investigated. Make no mistake, once we identify the source of any threat, charges will be filed accordingly.”

The juvenile has been charged with two counts of False Report of a Threat to a School, a Class 4 Felony. His next court appearance was scheduled for Nov. 21, 2018 in front of Judge Anderson.

Members of the public are reminded that this complaint contains only charges and is not proof of the juvenile’s guilt.

WWII veteran’s daughter to receive his long-lost medal

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Chalk it up to “it’s a small world,” or “the Good Lord works in mysterious ways,” or whatever makes serendipitous encounters occur, but it’s always nice when good things happen right in your own backyard – it’s even more meaningful when it is for someone who served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

When it’s time to clean things out, that’s often when magical things happen. Sure enough, when Elmhurst resident Wally Luszczyk was going through his late father’s personal belongings, he ran across a WWII medal that apparently belonged to a man named Frank Rush – First Lieutenant Frank Rush, to be exact. That was the name on the back of the medal. Luszczyk was not even completely sure how his father came to own the medal.

“I thought they may have had a garage sale or something and my dad maybe picked it up there,” he said. “I’m honestly not sure, but I was determined to find out who they belonged to.”

Search proves fruitful After an unsuccessful search on the Internet for a WWII soldier named Frank Rush, Luszczyk called Channel 7 news and reached a reporter named Jeff Marchese.

It was Marchese who was able to track down Frank Rush’s daughter, Maureen Rush Brickman, who currently lives in Arizona. She was interested in obtaining her father’s medal, and as luck would have it, Maureen was scheduled to come to the Chicago area for a wedding in November. Luszczyk has set up a special event at the Villa Park VFW for this coming Sunday to present her with the medal.

According to Maureen, her father’s medals had been used in a Veterans Day display at a local li-

“

“My dad was so smitten, he never asked if Joyce was Catholic and, on the day of their wedding, he was quite surprised to be married in the Church of England. Later in the States, they would be married again in the Catholic Church.”

COURTESY PHOTOS Elmhurst Independent

It’s difficult to read, but the back of this WWII medal is engraved: World War II – 1945 – Lt. Frank A. Rush. Lost for many years, but found by an Elmhurst resident, the medal will be returned to Lt. Rush’s daughter at a special ceremony on Sunday, Nov. 25 from 1-3 p.m. at the Vil–Maureen Rush Brickman la Park VFW Post #2801, 39 E. St. Charles Rd.

Pictured here in his flight gear is First Lt. Frank A. Rush, who earned a medal during WWII that was misplaced for many years. Elmhurst resident Wally Luszczyk, who found the medal, has planned a special reception to present it to Rush’s daughter on Sunday, Nov. 25 from 1-3 p.m. at the Villa Park VFW Post #2801, 39 E. St. Charles Rd. Free and open to the public.

Back home, a soldier awaits his war bride Her father returned to the States and was discharged from Santa Ana Air Force Base in California, but her mother remained until passage could be arranged for British War Brides. She finally arrived in March of 1946 aboard The Queen Mary. They were married for 58 years.

EEHealth honors its own veterans In honor of Veterans Day, Edward-Elmhurst Health recognized more than 40 employees, physicians and volunteers who are active duty or retired military veterans at a Veterans Recognition Breakfast on Nov. 13 at Elmhurst Hospital. Those who attended were presented with a mug featuring an American flag with the words, “We Honor Our Veterans.”

In all, EEH employs more than 150 veterans.

Employee acknowledgement is just one aspect of Edward-Elmhurst’s Veterans Recognition Program, which began in 2016. The system also honors patients who are military veterans with an American flag pin, bedside thank you card, door hanger placed outside the patient’s room to identify him/her as a veteran and meals delivered on trays with specially designed place mats and table tents.

Letter to the editor

Resident urges opposition to The FIRST STEP Act

I am asking my neighbors and elected representatives to oppose The FIRST STEP Act, which may make its way to the U.S. Senate soon, after passing the House this summer.

Any feeling person would be drawn to the humane aspects of the Act that seem to call for an end to, for example, shackling women during childbirth. Unfortunately, the language in the Act provides so many exceptions that would still allow for restraining a woman during labor, that I suspect that there could be no reduction in this horrific practice. This is just one example illustrating that a careful reading of the Act will show it’s not designed to accomplish its purported mission.

The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights—including ACLU, NAACP, NOW, and SPLC— oppose The First Step Act. According to the Leadership Conference, “the Act falls short on its promise to ‘meaningfully’ tackle the problems in the federal justice system - racial disparities, draconian mandatory minimum sentences, persistent overcrowding, lack of rehabilitation, and the exorbitant costs of incarceration.”

Importantly, the Bureau of Prisons already has broad authority to make the majority of the promising chang-

es through administrative action.

What The FIRST STEP Act would accomplish, however, is an expansion of the cruelties of e-carceration, “reforms” that use electronic monitoring and other forms of often-privatized surveillance to build digital prisons that line the pockets of prison telecommunication companies while further extending control into people’s homes and daily lives. Further, the Act contains plenty of measures to expand the demand for federal prison labor. This should alarm us all, as we witness incarcerated people in California—including children— battle fires while making dollars a day and being ineligible for firefighting employment upon release due to their status.

We shouldn’t pretend that prison labor gives people skills they can use open release, when that is oftentimes not the case. Another troubling aspect of The FIRST STEP is that many groups—including undocumented immigrants—are ineligible for the programs and benefits (including free phone calls home and extra family visitation) provided by the Act. I understand why many kind people are drawn to supporting The FIRST STEP Act. But I ask people to investigate further, and ultimately join me in opposing the Act. Elizabeth Collins

Students inspired to give back to their community At a check presentation ceremony, four studentathletes from IC Catholic Prep delivered $778.47 to Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley (DFV) to cap off a successful student-led fundraiser and awareness campaign, called Orange Crush (see previous story).

Four juniors from the Class of 2020 and teammates on the Knights Football team, Tommy Ryan, Kevin Cooke, Dom Krepulec and Jack Ryan presented the check to Easterseals DFV President & CEO Theresa Forthofer, Relationship Coordinator Amy Liss, and Director of Development & Marketing, Kelly Moreland.

The beginnings of the Orange Crush campaign can be traced back to last summer when Tommy Ryan interned at the Pre-K program.

“It was during this time that I developed a relationship with and affinity for the mission of Easterseals DFV,” said Tommy. “I really learned that we can change the way the world defines and views disability by making profound, positive differences in people’s lives every day.”

He was inspired to do more and find a way to involve his teammates and his classmates at IC Catholic Prep.

“As a student at ICCP, I wanted to act on the lessons we learn about community service and giving back,” said Tommy. “I had a lot of help from my mom–Mary Beth (Haggerty ’81) Ryan–and together we worked with the ICCP Development Office, Easterseals and other community members to design, print and sell t-shirts to raise money and awareness for independent living.”

One of the core tenets of a Catholic-based education is to learn the value of giving back to your community, both in service and with resources, noted Adam Nissen, IC Catholic Prep Athletics Director. “On behalf of IC Catholic Prep, we are proud of all of our students for their commitment to community service. We promote independent thinking and it is only natural that our students would want to support the mission of Easterseals through the Orange Crush campaign.

We hope the relationship will only continue to grow throughout the years.”

‘100+ Women Who Care’ celebrates five years Group has donated more than $300K to various causes

November marks the fifth year for 100+ Women Who Care in Elmhurst.

This active women’s giving circle has met quarterly since their first meeting to raise funds for local non profits that serve Elmhurst and surrounding communities.

The group was launched in November 2013 by Betsy Aldred, Amy Allen, Jean Carlquist, the late Marty Davy and Charlotte Mushow. It was modeled after the inaugural 100+ Women Who Care chapter in Jackson, Mich., where, in 2006, one woman gathered friends to make personal donations to supply baby cribs to mothers in need.

“My mom was so passionate about helping start 100+ Women Who Care in Elmhurst because she knew it would be impactful in our community,” said Sarah Davy Pappas, daughter of founding member Marta Davy and active member of the Elmhurst group. “It is so exciting to see what these amazing women have been able to accomplish over the last five years.”

Members are drawn to 100+ Women Who Care because of its simple approach to giving. It attracts busy, philanthropically minded women who gather quarterly to select one 501(c)(3) charity to receive their collective donation.

“The 100+ Women Who Care [group] is efficient and empowering,” said five-year member Karen Stezowski. “I love the vibe in the room when I walk into the meetings.

The energy is so positive because we know we will make a difference for others by what we do in just that one hour together.”

Since its’ beginning, the group has donated more than $300,000 to 20 organizations including Northern Illinois Food Bank, Synapse House, Elmhurst Music Boosters, Family Shelter Services and RRAF. They strive to fund a specific project for each nonprofit and have supported

efforts including scholarships for adult riders at Ray Graham Association’s Therapeutic Horsemanship program, the Elmhurst Walk-in Assistance Network dental assistance program, and the National Alliance for Mental Illness’ Ending the Silence education program for Elm-

hurst’s middle schools.

“I have been a 100+ member since the beginning and have also had the privilege of presenting an organization, United Community Concerns Association (UCCA) that was a recipient of the group’s quarterly donation,” said Susie Sands, dedicat-

ed 100+ member and president of UCCA. “I am honored to be part of a group of women who care so passionately about our community.”

The Elmhurst 100+ Women Who Care chapter encourages interested women to come to their meetings to learn more about the process and the

opportunity to leverage giving with other committed women. Their membership has grown at each meeting as a result of their open membership approach. For more information, email elmwomenwhocare@gmail.com.

5th Annual Jolly Old St. Nicholas Concert returns on Nov. 30

Before there was Santa Claus, there was St. Nicholas, known as the “bearer of gifts.” On Dec. 6, many Europeans still celebrate St. Nicholas Day, and some of our familiar Christmas traditions have roots in his legendary story of kindness and generosity.

The Elmhurst History Museum invites the community to celebrate this tradition at the fifth annual Jolly Old St. Nicholas Concert on Friday, Nov. 30 at 6:30 p.m. at the Yorkfield Presbyterian Church, located at 1099 South York Street in Elmhurst.

Guests of all ages are invited to learn about history and Elmhurst’s German roots with a concert of traditional German carols and an appearance by Jolly Old St. Nicholas.

Admission is free, and no reservations are required. Doors open at 6 p.m.

More about the concert Jolly Old St. Nicholas will lead the festivities and share the legend that made him renowned around the world. St. Nick will be joined by the beautiful voices and jingling bells of two long-standing Elmhurst choirs that have been singing traditional German carols and songs in the area for more than 80 years, the Damenchor (Women’s Chorus) and the Männerchor (Men’s Choir).

More information and the latest program details can be found on the Elmhurst History Museum’s web site at elmhursthistory.org (click on Special Events).

Limited on-site parking is available in the church parking lot. Children are encouraged to wear their pajamas. Photo opportunities with St. Nick will be available after the performance. A small gift for the little ones will be distributed and hot cocoa and cookies will be provided (while supplies last).

Participants are encouraged to bring cash donations for the Yorkfield Food Pantry giving tree in the church vestibule.

Share in the spirit of the season with a very special Elmhurst tradition and kick off the holidays at the Jolly Old St. Nicholas Concert. For more information, visit elmhursthistory.org or call 630-833-1457.

Back to state title game for IC Catholic Prep

Knights take care of business in semis; Rematch with Bishop Mac on tap Friday in Champaign

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Black Friday for the IC Catholic Prep football team has taken on a new meaning in recent times.

Instead of hitting the stores to kick off holiday shopping this season, the Knights will do what they have done for the past three years now—attempt to procure another state football championship.

The Knights were 28-9 winners at home against Richmond-Burton in one Class 4A state semifinal contested at Lewis Stadium at Plunkett Athletic Complex. IC Catholic Prep is the No. 1 seed in the top half of the Class 4A bracket. Richmond was the No. 3 seed.

The win sends IC Catholic Prep back to Memorial Stadium in Champaign Friday where it will attempt to win its third state championship in a row and fifth in program history. The Knights face familiar foe Bishop Mc-

Namara in the final starting at 7 p.m.

Bishop McNamara, the No. 3 seed in the bottom half of the Class 4A bracket which lost to IC Catholic Prep 21-20 in Elmhurst early this season, was a 52-42 winner over No. 4 Rochester (11-2) in the other Class 4A semifinal.

IC Catholic Prep (13-0) is shooting for its first Class 4A title. The 2002, 2016 and 2017 titles were won in Class 3A, while the 2008 title was won in Class 2A. In the win against Richmond-Burton (11-2), the Knights trailed 2-0 after the first quarter and were looking at a 9-0 deficit at halftime, an uncommon occurrence for a team that now has won 25 games in a row and 14 playoff games in a row.

The Knights cut the lead to 9-7 after three quarters and then scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to punch a return ticket to Champaign.

Week 14 Preview Bishop McNamara (12-1) at IC Catholic Prep (13-0) What: Class 4A state football championship game; ICCP going for third state title in a row When: Friday, 7 p.m.

TV: NBC Sports Chicago (check your provider for exact channel) Where: Memorial Stadium in Champaign on the grounds of the University of Illinois Seeds: IC Catholic Prep is the No. 1 seed on the top half of the Class 4A bracket; Bishop McNamara out of Kankakee is the No. 3 seed on the bottom half.

Last week: IC Catholic Prep 28, Richmond-Burton 9; Bishop McNamara 52, Rochester 42.

Outlook: Some high drama here between two programs that are extremely familiar with each other. McNamara joined the Metro Suburban Conference Blue Division this season and came to Elmhurst in Week 3 where it lost 21-20 to IC Catholic Prep in a game where the Knights scored the winning touchdown in the waning seconds of the contest via a Jake Lytton TD catch. (McNamara led 14-0 into the third quarter in that contest). In that regular-season matchup with McNamara, IC Catholic Prep standout sophomore running back Kyle Franklin ran 33 times for 134 yards and one touchdown, while quarterback Khalil Saunders completed 15 of 19 passes for 188 yards.

Interesting in this game is the fact the Knights fumbled three times and lost two of them, accounting for half the team’s turnovers via fumble in 13 games (IC Catholic Prep has lost four fumbles this season total). The Knights have a history of piling up large chunks of yards in the state finals game. Last year, Lazerick Eatman ran for 237 yards and four touchdowns, while Jordan Rowell ran for a Class 3A staterecord 270 yards and three touchdowns two years ago. The Knights have caused 32 turnovers on defense and have held eight opponents to less than 10 points in a game this season. McNamara, which sent IC Catholic Prep home in 2015 in the state semifinals en route its fifth state title, was 3-6 a year ago and now is shooting for its sixth state title under longtime coach Rich Zinanni. The Fightin’ Irish like to put up points. In every game except the regular-season matchup with IC Catholic Prep, McNamara has scored 38 or more points and in 11 of its 13 wins it has scored 42 or more points. McNamara’s playoff scores have been 59-18, 49-14, 42-35 and 52-42.

Prediction: Either get to Champaign if you can or park it in front of the television Friday night and tune into NBC Sports Chicago for what likely will be a hotly contested state-championship game.

Sophomore Kyle Franklin ran 26 times for 190 yards and scored three more touchdowns. Khalil Saunders ran seven times for 46 yards. The Knights racked up 243 yards rushing on 35 rushes (6.9 yards per carry).

Saunders completed 8 of 13 passes for 61 yards. Jake Lytton caught six passes for 38 yards. Khali Saunders had one catch for 21 yards and Ryan Malek also had a reception.

IC Catholic Prep’s other touchdown came via Chauncey Lee’s 65yard interception return for a score.

Kevin Cooke led the way with 15 tackles on defense, while Ricky Mysliwiec had 13 tackles. Dominick Krepulec had nine tackles, while Khali Saunders and Kevin Akins each had seven tackles. Corties Draper,

A.J. Howard and Akins each had a tackle for loss. Draper, Howard and Akins each registered a quarterback sack. Mysliwiec had two quarterback hurries.

Cooke caused a fumble and Khali Saunders recovered it.

On the season, Franklin now has run for 2,151 yards on 234 carries (9.2 yards per carry) and has scored 35 touchdowns. IC Catholic Prep is averaging 300.9 yards rushing on the ground per game. For comparisons sake, current NIU player Jordan Rowell finished his senior season at IC Catholic Prep with 2,297 rushing yards on 178 carries and scored 37 rushing touchdowns in leading the Knights to the 2016 state title. Franklin ran for 927 yards and 11 touch-

downs as a freshman on the varsity last season.

During this recent state title rampage, the Knights have a bit of history when it comes to running backs piling up huge yardage in the state title game. In 2016, Rowell set the Class 3A state-title-game record with 26 carries for 270 yards and three touchdowns.

Lazerick Eatman ran 24 times for 237 yards and four scores in last year’s state title win.

IC Catholic Prep also goes into the state title game with a turnover ratio of plus-23. The Knights have 32 takeaways on defense (16 interceptions and 16 fumble recoveries), but have only thrown five interceptions on offense and lost four fumbles rushing.

IC Catholic Prep boys basketball team looking for big things Squad awaits return of football players

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The IC Catholic Prep boys basketball team finds itself in a familiar environment.

The Knights rolled into their Thanksgiving tournament this week in Coal City a tad shorthanded with members of the team still part of the IC Catholic Prep football team that has made yet another deep run in the state playoffs.

Coach TJ Tyrrell knows his squad will be a work in progress for a stretch as those players begin to filter onto the team and cohesiveness is established with a full roster—one that features only three seniors.

“We’re definitely faced with a challenge,” he said. “But we’re getting used to the football team being in the playoffs at this point of the season. This is the third year in a row where we go to the Thanksgiving tournament without the football guys.”

While the Knights graduated nine seniors from last year’s 20-10 team

that tied for third in the Metro Suburban Conference Blue Division, won a regional title and reached the final 16 team in the state in Class 2A, Tyrrell has plenty of firepower returning and some impressive newcomers to add to the fold.

Back is 6-4 junior post player Ryan Wojtalewicz. “Ryan saw significant minutes last year and will be a leader for us this year,” said Tyrrell.

“We will rely on Ryan heavily. He’s a workhorse and a vocal leader. He’s put in a lot of work in the offseason in the weight room to get stronger.

He’s worked on his vertical and his post work. We will rely on Woj.” Dom Gaudio, a 6-1 junior guard-forward, also returns. “He’s a utility guy who can play all the positions,” the coach said. “He will be significant for us as a junior after playing significant minutes as a sophomore. We expect him to play a big role.”

Football player Khali Saunders, a senior and a Purdue commit for football, also is back. “Khali is athletic and makes a big difference on the court for us,” said Tyrrell.

Sophomore Chauncey Lee was brought up to the team for the play-

offs last year as a freshman and impressed the coaches. “We expect really big things from Chauncey,” said Tyrrell. “He came up late last year in preparation for the playoffs.

He saw time in every playoff game, including the sectional final against state-champion Chicago Orr. We saw promising things from him. He’s going to be a true point guard for us.”

Seniors Ryan Asmussen and Mike Carpanzano also are back. “We anticipate both Ryan and Mike to be contributors this season,” said Tyrrell.

Junior Rashad Sbeih is still with the football team as well. “He came up for us during the playoffs last year and is a guard-small forward-type for us,” said Tyrrell.

Junior Zach Jordan is a key newcomer for the Knights. “We expect him to be one of the main offensive threats and a scorer,” said Tyrrell.

“We need him to be a threat early on with the football guys out for us.”

Tyrrell likes the makeup of the team. “We know we graduated nine seniors and we have some big voids to fill,” he said. “This year we have more football players on the team, so we’re going to be very short-

handed in the beginning. I’m very encouraged by what I’ve seen so far in terms of focus and their approach to practice each day. They are very coachable. We’ve thrown a lot at them in the first two weeks. We’ve brought up some sophomores and have gotten them and our newcomers up to speed. We feel encouraged going into the Thanksgiving tournament at Coal City. We know we are going to have to weather the storm until we get to full strength. That’s the focus. When we have the whole group together, we will have a very nice balance at all the positions.”

Tyrrell noted in the past he’s been forced to use players out of position at the point guard spot. That changes this year with sophomore Lee, one of a number of 10th graders who will be on the big club.

“Chauncey Lee is a true point guard,” he said. “He’s a difference-maker. We’re hoping he opens things up for our shooters and we have several shooters on the team.

We’ll have some balance on the roster. We’re also planning on bringing up four or five sophomores to balance out the smaller senior class. We see this as a great opportunity to de-

velop guys for the next few years.”

Tyrrell is joined on the bench again this year by Tom McCormack, the former longtime head coach at Conant High School. “Tom is back and it’s been a lot of fun so far in these first two weeks of practice,” he said. “It’s going to take some time to get up to full speed with this group.

The football guys will have missed a month of basketball. That puts us at a little disadvantage. We have to get them up to speed. Once we get to full speed, I think we are going to be a very competitive team and have another strong season.”

Tyrrell pointed out he increased the team’s strength of schedule again with the addition of Class 4A schools York and Benet Academy to the schedule. Tyrrell pointed out Benet and conference foe Riverside-Brookfield were ranked in the preseason top 25 in the Chicagoland area. “And we play R-B twice in our conference,” he said. “This is one of those seasons where we play a lot of road games. We’ll get used to the travel to different gyms and that will get us ready for the postseason. Playing a stronger schedule prepares us for the Class 2A playoffs.”

Timothy Christian boys basketball team looks to defend conference title Starters Baez and Owens part of returning cast for Trojans

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Things went pretty darned well during Timothy Christian boys basketball coach Scott Plaisier’s first season at the helm.

The Trojans went 22-6 and won the Metro Suburban Conference Red Division with an 11-1 mark. Plaisier admits a loss to IC Catholic Prep in a Class 2A regional title game stung.

In his second year, Plaisier has a roster with a few returners, a couple transfers and some key newcomers, all charged with defending that Red Division title in a league that has a bit of a different competitive look to it this season.

Starters Justin Baez (senior guard) and

Matt Owens (junior guard) are back from last year. Owens was an all-MSC Red player as a sophomore.

Seniors Danardo Jones (C-F) and Chris Brooks (G) also played key minutes last year and will be counted on again this year.

Juniors Jack Baldridge (G) and Adam Moody (F) are transfer players. Baldridge transferred from York last year and had to sit out a year, while Moody comes from Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville.

Juniors A.J. Vos (wing-guard), Zach Orange (wing-guard) and sophomore Josh Harris (wing-guard) are among the newcomers who will help as well.

“I like our versatility,” said Plaisier. “We have a lot of guys who can play a lot of different positions and can handle it, shoot it and attack the rim. I think we are going to be able to play with pace. We are pretty unselfish and like to share the ball and create for each other. That’s something we do fairly well. We have a little bit of length

and athleticism as well.”

Plaisier said works in progress include rebounding and consistency on defense.

“I’m worried a little bit about the glass and being consistent on defense,” he said. “If we shore these up I think we can compete every night.”

Plaisier said Timothy won’t need to rely on one or two players to do the bulk of the scoring. “We don’t have those dominant stars,” he said. “We are a little deeper.

We don’t have the same size as last year when we were pretty good on the glass and defensively. We will look at a lot of different scorers. We will be scoring by committee and have a lot of guys being the leading scorer on different nights.

This year each guy could have a night and hopefully step up and lead us in that role.”

Plaisier noted the MSC Red has a bit of a different look to it this season with former Blue Division residents Wheaton Academy and nearby Fenton entering the division.

“Our goal is to try and win another conference championship and compete every night,” he said. “We’ll wait and see if we can do that. If we compete hard every night, we should be right there.

Conference-wise, Wheaton Academy moved to our side and that will be a big challenge. St. Edward is really good and it’s tough to compete at their place and you have to play them twice. Fenton has come into the division and you have Elmwood Park and Ridgewood. It’s a quality side of the conference. You will see competitive games every night.”

Timothy opened the season earlier this week in the Lisle Thanksgiving tournament.

The Trojans played Evergreen Park, Westmont (which joins the MSC next season, replacing Fenton, which moves to the Upstate Eight Conference) and Yorkville Christian earlier this week.

The Trojans face host Lisle Saturday to wrap up tournament play.

York boys basketball team loaded with experience Dukes look to take next step with veteran-filled roster

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The majority of the York boys basketball team knows the drill.

Coach Vince Doran has a 20182019 team loaded with varsity experience. York is coming off a 20172018 season where it won 17 games and tied for second in the tough West Suburban Conference Silver Division.

“We have seven seniors this year and a lot of kids coming back,” he said. “We have guys who have been around the varsity game. The expe-

rience is going to help us and it will show throughout the year. We are excited to have this many returning kids.”

Back for the Dukes are seniors Nick Kosich (6-2, G), Erik Cohn (6-3, G), Sam Walsh (6-5, F), John Milling (6-2, G), Mike Pedote (6-1, G) and Hassan Iqbal (6-3, G), along with now junior Nate Shockey (6-2, G) and sophomore Jeff Grace (6-1, G).

“Most of the guys have varsity experience under their belt and that will be beneficial in games, especially in our league,” said Doran.

Newcomers to the team include senior Sam Nemanich (6-4, F), juniors Milo Mann (6-0, G), Jake Brandolino (6-0, G), Dan Wagner (6-3, F) and Tim Glavan (6-4, F).

“Five of our guys are football kids,” said Doran. “That’s the most we’ve ever had.”

With that vast amount of experience returning, the Dukes will again be proficient in shooting the ball as has been the case in past seasons.

“I think we are going to shoot the ball well,” said Doran. “We have a number of weapons from 3. I also feel we are going to be pretty balanced. We have a number of different people who can lead us in scoring.”

Doran noted York will be a little undersized when it comes to height.

“We are undersized and that is a concern,” he said. “However, a guy like Sam Walsh is a strong presence for us and plays a lot bigger than 6-5.

He’s a kid who will battle you. All

our kids are tough and physical. It’s imperative that we block out and that everybody gets bodies on people.”

Doran said York has plenty of speed on the defensive side of the ball. “We will be very fast and have that quickness,” he said. “All five spots are as fast as they have been for us in a very long time. I think we’ll be able to apply great pressure on the ball and try to create offense with our defense.”

As always, the Dukes will compete in a competitive WSC Silver.

“Our league is going to be very good this year,” said Doran. “It’s going to be balanced. Oak Park might have a little more talent than everybody, but I think anybody is beatable on a given night. It’s going to be a fun league and it’s going to be a lot better than

last year. Everybody has a lot of players coming back. The West Suburban Silver is always tough and this year it is exceptional. We’re all excited here at York and with good reason. We’re going to try and bring it every night against a tough schedule. It’s going to be a fun year for us.”

York is in the midst of the Palatine Thanksgiving tournament where it is scheduled to enjoy games against Maine West, Jacobs, Stevenson and Hersey. “That’s four really good opponents right away for us, which is great,” said Doran.

The Dukes again will host their 32-team Jack Tosh Holiday Classic tournament at Christmas time. Lemont and Wheaton St. Francis are new to the field this season.

York’s Kammerdiener competes in state diving finals Senior qualified for state three years in a row; Headed to Youngstown State

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

It was a three-peat for York senior girls diver Birgitte Kammerdiener.

Kammerdiener concluded her high-school diving career with her third appearance in a row in the state diving finals.

This time, Kammerdiener took 22nd in the state after placing 23rd there last season.

“This year I focused more on new dives and worked on perfecting them,” she said earlier last week.

“Perfecting those helped raise my score. I did three or four new ones and put a couple old dives in that

were helpful to my scores. A lot of the old dives still were there, but they were improved to new ones that added a rotation. That helped improve scores and it helped me feel more confident in what I do.”

Kammerdiener said her reverse 1 1/2 is what she labels her toughest dive. “Just because it’s strange going off the board forward and flipping backward,” she said. “Some dives are harder than others.”

The York senior said her overall improvement this season came in both the mental and physical aspects of the sport.

“With both my academics and diving I’ve gone from being OK to being able to get to the point where I am diving in college next season,” she said.

Kammerdiener is indeed diving in college and at the Division I level at Youngstown State University in Ohio.

“I’m very excited about

Youngstown State,” she said. “I didn’t want to go to an SEC school or a top-10 school, but I still wanted to try and dive at the Division I level so I started looking at other areas within Division I. They are in the Horizon League (which also includes UIC and a number of other schools not terribly far away from the Chicagoland area). Their former diving coach was the first coach to reach out to me as soon as I put up my recruiting profile. I connected with her. When I went there I loved the campus and I loved the team.”

Kammerdiener is excited about both the athletic and academic aspects at Youngstown State.

“Being able to dive at a Division I school means a lot,” she said. “You get so much more extra help as a Division I student-athlete. Just the fact a Division I school was looking at me is really interesting to me.

I always saw Division I schools as being for the top 10 divers when in

“

I’m excited to move on from high school and go dive in college. At the same time, I’m sad that I have to leave all my teammates and coaches, but college will be exciting. I’m looking forward to it.”

fact it reaches out so far. I’m going to be able to get a lot of athletic and academic help just like all the other Division I schools get as well.”

Her plan is to major in nursing

with a potential double major in Spanish. “I want to go into pediatric oncology,” she said. “One of my mom’s friends is in that field and told me about it. I decided that would be an area I’d be especially interested in. It caught my eye.”

Kammerdiener alluded earlier to going from OK to much better in her academics at York. “I really tried a lot harder in school,” she said. “I pushed myself more to take more challenging classes. Once I figured out my major would be nursing, I started to take classes that applied toward that area. That’s going to help me a lot.”

Kammerdiener has mixed emotions about leaving York. “Yes and no,” she said. “I’m excited to move on from high school and go dive in college. At the same time, I’m sad that I have to leave all my teammates and coaches, but college will be exciting. I’m looking forward to it.”

The York Hockey Club has been busy both on and off the ice recently.

When not battling opponents from the always-tough Scholastic Hockey League (SHL), the club has been working to support two worthwhile causes.

On November 9th, the club hosted it annual Spirit Night. The event included not only games from the Var-

sity and JV squads, but also an off-ice raffle featuring themed gift baskets and other items donated by families and area vendors. This year’s “Puck Cancer” themed night enjoyed record setting attendance. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Matt Haller Family. Haller is a York Hockey Club Alumni, and the money will go in support of his continued fight against cancer. Funds will also be donated to the not-for-profit organization CancerResearch.org “The York Hockey Club takes pride in doing our part to give back

to the community,” said York Hockey Club President Jamie Ray. “We just wrapped our annual Spirit Night which was a huge success and our biggest turnout ever!”

With one successful charity event in the books, Duke players are now turning their attention to the Club’s annual Toys for Tots event, set for Friday, Dec. 7, when the Dukes host SHL rival Barrington Hockey Club at the Addison Ice Rink. The Varsity game is set for a 7:10 p.m. puck drop.

The J.V. game follows at 9:00 p.m.

Players are currently soliciting donations of new and unwrapped toys from family, friends, neighbors and businesses to bring to the rink on Dec. 7th. The toys will be displayed and presented to representatives from the U.S. Marine Corps who will be on hand for the game. The Marine Corps will distribute the toys to local children in need.

Fans attending the Dec. 7th game are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to the game. Others interested in donating toys are encouraged to contact the York Hockey Club in advance of the game at yhc@ yorkhockeyclub.org.

Elmhurst Presbyterian hosts ‘Fill the Stable’ Church collects for various charities throughout December

When shopping for the holidays, Elmhurst Presbyterian Church (EPC) invites you to add a few items to your cart to help “Fill the Stable” with supplies for local non-profits. EPC is located at 367 Spring Road at the corner of St. Charles and Spring. Each week of Advent, the local church has a wish list of items that area resi-

dents can place in a replica stable in the church’s main lobby. The list is filled with supplies that represent what the Holy Family may have needed on their journey to Bethlehem. All donations will be presented to organizations that help area residents in Elmhurst and surrounding communities.

“This Christmas season we cele-

brate a ‘reverse Advent,’ filling the stable created by our EPC family with items the community needs,” said Pastor Traci Smith. “We asked ourselves, ‘What would the Holy Family have needed as they were traveling?’”

From now through Christmas Eve, join EPC for worship service on Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m.,

or drop off donations weekdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. by ringing the bell at the church’s main entrance on the east side of the building which is accessible from the parking lot.

Pastor Smith reflects on the abundance we can all share in the weeks before Christmas.

“We remember the Holy Family: Mary and Joseph, who travelled to Bethlehem while they were expecting baby Jesus,” she said. “We consider what they need for their journey as they travel. Scripture tells us that whatever we do for others we do for Jesus. This project is a way of making this a tangible reality.”

All are welcome to donate from the list below at any time.

Week #1 Dec. 2 -- How did the Holy Family care for themselves?

Bring toothpaste and toilet paper for distribution through the Yorkfield Food Pantry.

Week #2 Dec. 9 -- What did the Holy Family need for warmth?

Bring hats and gloves for Public Action to Deliver Shelter (PADS) guests who visit the PADS site at EPC on Saturday nights from October through April. Donations will also go to the Erie House in Chicago.

Week #3 Dec. 16 -- What did the Holy Family wear?

Socks are always in high demand

by PADS guests to help keep feet warm in cold weather.

Week #4 Dec. 23 -- What did the Holy Family need for the baby?

Bring diapers of any size for distribution through the Yorkfield Food Pantry Opportunities for Youth to Give Back.

EPC’s Youth Ministry is also building on the theme of giving back our abundance to others.

“In June, we celebrated God’s diverse community with our EPC PRIDE festival,” said Emily Cule-

“

This Christmas season we celebrate a ‘reverse Advent,’ filling the stable created by our EPC family with items the community needs.”

– Pastor Traci Smith

lla, EPC’s Director of Youth and Children’s Ministry. “In October, we decorated cars and gave out candy in our front parking lot for Trunk-or-Treat fun. In December, we continue to celebrate by giving back to the community.”

Thank you for 60 years of business.

We appreciate and are honored to take care of your families.

Under new owners and management. Family owned, serving for several decades.

Newly renovated.
