A Boo-tiful Saturday in downtown Elmhurst On Saturday, Oct. 29, this costumed group of Halloween trick-ortreaters took advantage of “Boo-tiful Saturday,” held in the City Centre area of downtown. The day began with a free showing of the movie Hotel Transylvania 2, followed by trick-or-treating at the downtown merchants. This group is all females with one lonely male in the back row, 3rd from left. The weather was beautiful which always results in a big turnout for the occasion. More photos inside.

Community invited to reception on Sunday for Joe Newton’s swan song FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

I don’t know where you plan to be this Sunday but I know where I’ll be… and likely the rest of the community.

There will be a retirement celebration held for long-time York Cross

Country Coach Joe Newton, who is stepping down after 60 years of coaching, leading York to unprecedented heights, making it arguably the greatest XC program in the nation.

On Sunday, Nov. 6 beginning at 11 a.m., there will be a reception held for Coach Joe Newton at York High

School. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the celebration will begin with a reunion social in the Campbell (Green & White) Gym. All are welcome to attend and view the displays of cross country photos by the decades and catch up with fellow runners.

Then from 1-3 p.m., Coach Newton

will attend the main celebration in the Joe Newton Fieldhouse. The event will feature speakers, one of whom will be Al Janulis, a former York Athletic Director and Newton runner. The public is invited to both events.

It is the end of an era – come out and celebrate the outstanding contri-

butions of the man who inspired “The Long Green Line.”

Full story and interview with Newton can be found in Sports.

Proposed 2017 revenues total $127,240,371 for City Legislative proposals would change how revenues distributed

By Dan McLeister FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Proposed revenues for the City for fiscal year 2017 total $127,240,371, City Manager Jim Grabowski told aldermen at an October 24th Committee of the Whole meeting.

The session was the first in a series of meetings about the budget for the coming year. Final approval is expected in December. Mayor Steve Morley noted that there are 4000 line items in the budget.

Grabowski cautioned that the City must continue to monitor legislative proposals that would change how revenues are distributed, “especially considering the fiscal condition of the region and the State of Illinois.”

In addition, a change in the economy where sales tax revenues decline “would significantly affect the City’s revenue.”

The largest revenue source is sales, property and utility taxes, comprising $48,128,460 or 38 percent of total revenues. Service charges of $29,445,980, or 23 percent of total revenues, include $23,647,880 for water and sewer charges.

The 2017 and 2018 budgets include funding for three additional storm water projects at an estimated cost of $13. 3 million and preliminary engineering costs for expanded storm water infrastructure improvements in the southwest area of the City.

To fund these project costs, the City Council approved a .25 percent sales tax, which will retire the debt service on bonds necessary for these improvements.

Over the last four years, the City

According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), each day about 2,000 U.S. workers sustain job-related eye injuries that require medical treatment. The tragedy is that the vast majority of these injuries are preventable. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that workers use protective eyewear such as goggles, face shields, safety glasses, or full face respirators when their work poses a threat to the health of their eyes.

Those working at home should take the same precautions. Ordinary eyewear does not afford the same degree of protection that safety glasses provide. Safety glasses must meet standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Look for the “Z87” mark on the lens or frame.It’s important to wear protective lenses or goggles that have UV protection if you work in a hazardous environment like a construction zone or workshop, or participate in ball sports or extreme sports.

Life is a series of events, and they seem to be multiplying.

I’m not referring to events like loading the dishwasher or combing your hair or walking the dog. I’m talking Events – the ones with a capital E that are cause for celebration.

Exclamation point.

This category of Events used to be a manageable group. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Mother’s and Father’s Days and even Grandparent’s Day, if you were so inclined. They included holidays like Independence Day and the Fourth of July, which have been around practically since the beginning of our country.

The first official federal holidays weren’t established until 1870. There were four of them. Seven more have been added in the last 150 years, the last being Martin Luther King, Jr. Day added in 1983.

The federal government may have thus far held the national holiday cap at 11, but that doesn’t stop the rest of us from creating our own.

This became evident during the crescendo leading up to my daughter’s wedding last summer. I used to think of a wedding as a celebration, but I now know I was selling myself short. A wedding is not just one Event. It is many. It is a celebration of celebrations. A pandemonium of parties.

In a good way. Mostly.

When my husband and I got engaged, he presented me with a ring and a question. I gave him an answer and that was that. He didn’t organize an elaborate, professionally choreographed dancing entourage made up of a few hundred of our closest friends to help him with his proposal.

He didn’t hire a sky writer or plan a catered party to commemorate the day. He didn’t pop the question via a note on a boat with a goat while floating in a moat. He just asked and I answered. It was a moment shared by the two of us. I don’t remember feeling the least bit slighted. Although truth be told, goat ownership is on my bucket list.

That was back before engagements were full-fledged Events. And I haven’t even touched on weddings, which are like engagements on steroids. Event mayhem.

Weddings are only the beginning.

Today, we tend to supersize the goings-on going on around us. A new baby has always been a cause for celebration. Except now we have parties to reveal the gender. We videotape a baby announcement and upload it, hoping it goes viral. New

fathers present new mothers with “push presents” because apparently pushing out a baby isn’t enough of gift. Or it is, but something extra is always appreciated. (I’m still waiting for my push presents.)

People are even creating Events around typically unpleasant situations. Divorce parties celebrate the end of a marriage or wedding rewind. Some people have posh affairs complete with a gift registry, a moving-on ceremony, caterer and music.

(Dance like you’re single – because you are!)

According to the National Day Calendar website, there are over 1,200 national days – not actual holidays – designated as celebrations of something or other. If you do the math, this leaves us with more than three events to celebrate on any given day. All. Year. Long.

We recently celebrated National Hug a Sheep Day and National Bobblehead Day. I’m still shaking my head in disbelief about that one.

Upcoming in the next few weeks are Plan your Epitaph Day (otherwise known as National Preparedness Day or Dooms Day.) Coincidentally, National Cappuccino Day and Harvey Wallbanger Day fall within the same 24-hour period, so I guess we’ll have to make a beverage choice. Either that or do a lot of drinking. Have a Bad Day Day is followed by Absurdity Day, which was created as a day to recall and note some of the totally and absolutely absurd things in history, in our country and in our lives.

Given the current political climate, that shouldn’t be too difficult.

Don’t get me wrong. I love a good celebration. Party like it’s National Carbonated Beverage with Caffeine Day, because it is! I can and will celebrate like its National Square Dance Day or even National Waiting for the Barbarians Day. But I’ll do so in moderation.

National Moderation Day – now there’s an Event I could embrace.

And I would. If it existed. It doesn’t.

At least not yet. Give it time. (National Patience Day will be here in about a week.)

District 205, Moyer release statements at Board meeting Address transgender students, IGA with City over storm water

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

At the beginning of the latest Board meeting of School District 205 on Monday, Oct. 24, Dr. Moyer read two statements into the record.

As a courtesy to its readers, The Independent presents both statements in their entirety.

Dr. Moyer read the following statement regarding the District 205’s position on students who are transgender: “Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205, like many districts around the country, is dealing with concerns related to accommodating the needs of stu-

dents who are transgender and the privacy interests of all students.

“The District is, and will be, making its decisions based on existing District Policy 7:10: Equal Educational Opportunities, state and federal law and emerging court decisions. Particularly given the current unsettled state of the law, the District expects to deal with these issues on a case-by-case, buildingby-building basis, primarily as guided by Board Policy 7:10 on Equal Educational Opportunities and the privacy interests of all involved.

“The District will take these issues into consideration in its planning process for future facility projects and budget cycles. Potential changes will be designed to achieve cost efficiency, enhanced supervision, safety and privacy for all students and consistency with the master facility plan now under development for the entire District.”

Madison receives ExceleRate Illinois ​Award of Excellence

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

According to a release issued by Elmhurst School District 205, the Madison Early Childhood Education Center has achieved an Award of Excellence for Linguistically and Culturally Appropriate Practices in ExceleRate Illinois.

“The Awards of Excellence are the highest level of our state’s quality rating and improvement system and recognize research-based best practice in specific content areas,” said Kathrine M. Stohr, deputy director of the Governor’s Office of Early Childhood Development.

“This Award of Excellence demonstrates your program’s successful implementation of high-quality instruction for preschool age children.”

Madison ECE Center’s Award of Excellence will remain in effect for up to three years, provided that the program retains its overall designation in the Gold Circle of Quality in ExceleRate Illinois during this time.

“The staff has worked very hard to achieve this level of recognition for these practices, and I am very proud of their efforts,” said Susan Kondrat, who serves as the principal of Madison Early Childhood Education Center.​ District 205 Superintendent Dr. David Moyer echoed Kondrat’s sentiments.

“I am also proud of all of the excellent work in service of students that we see on a daily basis at Madison,” he said. “This is just one example, and the recognition is welldeserved.”

“

It is the District’s understanding that the City has delayed release of approximately $1.3 million in TIF funds to the District due to the City’s dissatisfaction with the District’s position on the sale of the Bryan parcel.”

– Dist. 205 Superintendent Dr. David Moyer

Board’s statement on Bryan IGA, future storm water IGAs, TIF and York fee issues Dr. Moyer also read the following statement at the recent Board meeting: “In an October 20, 2016, letter from the Elmhurst City Manager, the City proposed to purchase a 1.6acre portion of the Bryan Middle School site for $1.1 million to be developed into a storm water detention facility. After careful consideration, the Board of Education has reached a consensus that the City’s October 20 proposal is inadequate.

“Under that proposal, the District would have had no place to which to transfer its current storage and maintenance operations on the Bryan parcel, very little to pay for the acquisition and improvement of another site for its current Bryan operations and no compensation for its loss of the long-term future use of the Bryan parcel for school expansion. It is the District’s understanding that the City has another project opportunity on a comparably-sized parcel for which the City has contracted with the Messiah Lutheran Church immediately south of the Bryan site.

“The District and the City have been negotiating an agreement under which the District would have

received: 1) about an acre of land from the City adjacent to its public works facility on Riverside Drive in exchange for the Bryan site; 2) partial improvement of the Riverside Drive site for District maintenance; and 3) cash to make up the difference in value between the Bryan and Riverside sites and the loss of future use of the Bryan parcel for expansion of school facilities.

“However, the City’s October 20 proposal was only to purchase the Bryan parcel at its appraised value of $1.1 million.

“The District remains open to considering agreements on a caseby-case basis for City use of School District land for storm water management projects. The District’s consideration of such projects will be influenced by: 1) The results of its current longrange facility planning process. The District must balance and give precedence to achievement of its core educational mission over storm water management issues.

2) The Madison School storm water management project. The Madison School storm water management IGA has been completed and construction has begun. Its operation will be closely followed by

the District.

3) Whether the City makes timely payments under the Downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) agreement between the City and District.

While not connected directly to storm water management projects, the District regards the City’s willingness to abide by its intergovernmental agreements in general terms as a factor in assessing the likelihood of compliance with storm water management agreements. It is the District’s understanding that the City has delayed release of approximately $1.3 million in TIF funds to the District due to the City’s dissatisfaction with the District’s position on the sale of the Bryan parcel.

4) Resolution of the City’s York High School storm water fee claim.

The City has periodically asserted that the District “owes” the City $1.2 million for alternative storm water projects arising from the reconstruction of York High School completed in 2004. The District strongly disputes that it owes the City anything in regard to the York project.

This will need to be resolved before any negotiations over future storm water management projects.

The District will not accept the City’s vague use of this claimed fee as a bargaining chip in connection with future storm water management projects.

The issue should be resolved or dropped by the City now.

“The Board reiterates its willingness to consider continued cooperation to help resolve the City of Elmhurst’s storm water management problems, but only consistent with its obligations to fulfillment of its core educational mission and to its taxpayers who live both in and outside of the City.”

Here’s what’s going on at the Elmhurst Park District

By Chris Fox FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

The Elmhurst Park District Board held a regular meeting on Oct. 24 at the district’s administrative building at 375 W. First Street. All seven commissioners attended the meeting. There were no public comments at the meeting, which lasted a little more than two hours.

A CLEAR DIFFERENCE

Fixed orthodontic appliances (“braces”) primarily consist of an arch wire that spans the dental arch and is by toJeffrey T. Boland affixed a metal bracket on each tooth Licensed Orthodontic Specialist by means of either an elastic band or a small stainless steel wire. For patients who want a more minimalist approach to arch-wire attachment, there is the option of using clear Damon brackets.

These self-ligating brackets are next to invisible compared with traditional steel brackets. In addition, Damon brackets use a clever slide mechanism to retain the arch wire in place. Because no rubber bands or attachment wires are needed, this sliding Damon bracket requires fewer adjustments. The Damon system is also more comfortable and more aesthetically pleasing, and it requires shorter treatment time.

If you have crooked teeth, a bad bite or other dental challenges, it can be difficult for you to find the success you want as a professional. And for your kids, the discomfort of traditional braces can add to an already stressful school experience. To schedule a free orthodontic consultation and learn more about Damon brackets, please call our office. Available by appointment, we honor all kinds of insurance and charge zero interest on our financing. Straighter Smiles Are Our Specialty!

P.S. Because the Damon system does not need elastic or wire ligatures to hold the arch wire in place, there is less chance for food to accumulate and plaque to form.

tions, Sports & Leisure International (CSL) regarding a feasibility study about the potential of building an indoor sports facility in Elmhurst. CSL delivered a presentation about its study at the board’s Oct. 11 meeting. In discussing the matter at the Oct. 24 meeting, Commissioner Vince Spaeth, who is the president of the park board, said the board is still in preliminary stages of investigating the possibility of any involvement in construction of an indoor facility.

“We’re at 100,000 feet,” said Spaeth, who noted that the park district’s major partner in such a facility—the City of Elmhurst— hasn’t yet expressed much of an opinion on the issue. Spaeth also said the board needs to learn residents’ feelings about an indoor sports facility.

Commissioner Carolyn Ubriaco said the board is poised to take the next proper step in the matter by asking its constituents for their opinions.

Elmhurst Park District Executive Director Jim Rogers said that he did not envision any type of indoor facility being an enterprise operation that would generate a financial profit for the district. He suggested that the realistic goal for such a facility would be a complex that would break even financially by generating enough revenue to cover expenses. Rogers noted that a variety of current services provided by the park district—including outdoor swimming pools and community centers—are subsidized by taxpayers.

Update on comprehensive, strategic plans The Oct. 24 board meeting included a presentation from The Lakota Group, a consulting firm assisting in the update of the park district’s comprehensive and strategic plans. The park board recently hired the Lakota Group to update the plans. Sarah White of The Lakota Group spoke at the Oct. 24 meeting and updated the board on the ongoing community survey to solicit residents’ input about the park district’s services.

White said her group had spoken with just over 30 people. She noted a recent open house at The Abbey gave residents an opportunity to provide feedback about their vision for the park district. At least two similar open houses are scheduled for 2017—one in March and the other in May. She also told the board that The Lakota Group is working with ETC Institute of Olathe, Kansas, to launch a community survey with a scheduled launch date of Oct. 30.

The survey will be distributed to a randomly selected sample of residents of the park district. The survey will be administered both online and through the mail. White said her firm hoped to obtain about 325 completed surveys from residents by Dec. 20, 2016. All responses will remain confidential.

The meeting included a presentation of the district’s proposed capital budget for 2017. The presentation reportedly gave board members information to review before the 2017 budget presentation at the board’s next regular

meeting on Nov. 14.

Budget talk includes facility improvements, redevelopment of Plunkett The presentation, which included comments from multiple park district staff members, stated the district’s 2017 budget included about $2.5 million in capital projects. Nearly half of that amount (almost $1.2 million) will be directed toward park improvements.

Approximately $800,000 in spending is projected for facility improvements.

The park improvements include $450,000 dedicated to redevelopment at Plunkett Park. The redevelopment of the park will include the replacement of the playground that was installed in 1999. Other improvements at Plunkett Park include drainage work, the upgrading of walkways and paths to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines and creating an accessible route to the park’s picnic area.

More capital projects in the works Other capital projects slated for 2017 include the restoration and renovation of the six north tennis courts at Berens Park. That project, which has a projected cost of about $180,000, is scheduled to take place after the York High School boys tennis season ends in the spring, and before the Courts Plus lessons program starts in the summer.

The district’s proposed 2017 capital improvement plan also

includes $100,000 in funding to relocated the district’s existing garden plots from Golden Meadows Park to the Grantley property adjacent to Marjorie Davis Park, and to Wild Meadows Trace, near the Depot. Earlier this year, the district reached an agreement with the City of Elmhurst to donate a portion of Golden Meadows Park to the city for use as storm water detention. The Grantley property will provide plots for returning gardeners (those who had plots at Golden Meadows Park this year) in 2017. The Wild Meadows Trace site should be ready for gardening in 2018. Approximately 60 people maintained garden plots at Golden Meadows Park this year.

The park district’s 2017 facility improvements that are part of next year’s capital plan include about $340,000 directed toward the Wagner Community Center. Those improvements include the replacement of windows and the installation of a multi-use flooring system in Multi-Purpose Room A.

Plans include salt storage facility, equipment at Courts Plus Other facility improvements include the district’s projected cost of about $325,000 to build a salt storage dome just south of the city maintenance facility at 985 S. Riverside Drive. The park district utilizes space at the facility. As part of an agreement with the city, the park district contributes 25 percent of project costs at the facility. The amount of $325,000 represents the park district’s portion of the project to build the salt storage dome.

Another improvement in the 2017 capital plan features about $115,000 in spending to replace fitness equipment at Courts Plus.

For the first time, the district is exploring the option of leasing 15 treadmills and four step machines next year. The district would lease the equipment over three years at a total cost of just over $40,000.

Treadmills are the reportedly the most in-demand pieces of exercise equipment at Courts Plus. They are also the most expensive items to maintain. Leasing the items could reportedly save the district maintenance charges, which are approximately $1,500 to $2,000 per unit every other year.

Ribbon-cutting at Playground for Everyone Sat. Nov. 5 The park district will hold a ribbon cutting and grand reopening ceremony at Butterfield Park on Saturday, Nov. 5. The public is invited to the event, which will begin at noon. The recently completed redevelopment project at Butterfield Park included the installation of the Playground for Everyone, which will provide a fully accessible playground for all children, including those with mobility challenges and developmental disabilities.

Nybo, Breen partner with others for annual drive to benefit troops This November, State Senator Chris Nybo (R-Elmhurst) and State Representative Peter Breen (R-Lombard) will partner with the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the local Lilac Post 5815 for their second annual “Support Our Troops” collection drive. Items collected throughout the month of November will be delivered to military personnel serving overseas near or before Christmas.

“Supporting our troops is as easy as buying some of the suggested items the next time you’re in the store, and bringing them to our legislative offices,” said Nybo. “Your thoughtfulness will mean so much to the men and women who are a long way from home, especially during the holiday season.

“Rep. Breen and I want the brave young men and women who serve in our military—now and in years past—to know how much we appreciate their leadership and their commitment to freedom.”

The Nybo/Breen legislative office at 929 S. Main Street, Suite 105A in Lombard will serve as a drop-off location for items to be donated to U.S. troops. Donations will be accepted from November 1-30 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.

“This local collection drive provides us with a meaningful way to show our deep appreciation for our troops and their dedication to protecting our freedoms,” said Breen.

“Our care packages are one small way of honoring and hopefully easing the great sacrifices of these brave men and women.”

The legislators would also like to send care packages specifically to local soldiers from the area (IL Senate District 24 or IL House District 48). Friends and family with loved ones from the area who are currently serving in the military are encouraged to contact the Nybo/ Breen office with their names and addresses.

Recommended items to be included in the care packages include: Books, magazines, crossword and word search puzzles, coloring books, colored pencils, dominoes, checkers or chess games iTunes Gift Cards, headphones/

Pictured here is Griffith Eichorn (center, holding certificate), recipient of this year’s Terry Doherty Scholarship presented at an awards program in May. The Terry Doherty Scholarship was created at IC Catholic Prep to honor and remember Terry, a 1991 graduate, who lost his life in a boating accident in Ireland. Pictured are (from left): Terry’s brother Liam Doherty, two sistersin-law Susan and Denise Doherty, his brother John Doherty, Griffith’s mother Michele Eichhorn, scholarship recipient Griffith Eichhorn, Terry’s mother Mary Doherty, his sister Mary Collins, his niece Danielle Collins and his brother-in-law James Collins.

Pictured is Terry Doherty who played football at ICCP where he graduated in 1991. Doherty was lost at sea as part of an expedition out of Ireland when he was just 23 years old.

“We are inviting everyone to join us for an afternoon of fun, open skating, raffles, split the pot, silent auctions and food to support the Terry Doherty Scholarship,” said Mary Collins, Terry’s sister.

“The Terry Doherty Scholarship was created last year at IC Catholic Prep to

Scholarship for 2016 given to IC’s Griffith Eichorn This year’s scholarship was presented to Griffith Eichorn at an awards program in May. In his application, Griffith stated, “Art gives me an opportunity to tell someone how I feel deep in my soul. It reveals my true spirit. It lets me say things, visually, that cannot be put into words. It is an imprint of my spirit that will last forever.”

“We think Terry would agree with Griffith and we were proud to present him with the first Annual Terry Doherty Scholarship.” said John J. Doherty, Terry’s brother.

More about the tragedy in Ireland..

It has been almost 21 years since the fishing boat called the Carrickatine was lost in the frigid, storm-brewed waters of the North Sea in Ireland. Among the lost six-member crew was 23-year-old Elmhurst resident Terry Doherty. The Carrickatine remains Ireland’s worst fishing tragedy.

“The only sign that was ever found of the missing 86-foot fishing boat was three fishing boxes and pieces of the boat’s deck floating off an island near where the boat set sail,” Collins said At the time of the tragedy, Doherty’s family and friends in the U.S. and in Ireland helped with an exhaustive search.

“We contacted dozens of officials, from the mayor of Elmhurst to President Clinton, including U.S. senators, magazine editors, the Irish Consulate in Chicago and officials involved in the search in Ireland,” Collins

recalled.

“Unfortunately, the search, which has included 400 workers, 40 boats and six aircraft, yielded very few clues about the missing vessel.

“Terry loved adventure, was adored by his family and friends and while he has been gone for almost 21 years, his spirit lives on.

It is fitting that this first fundraiser being held in Terry’s memory is at the Elmhurst YMCA, a place he loved so much.”

Local business named VA ‘Preferred Provider’ for veterans care

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Care & Comfort at Home, an Elmhurst-based business that provides in-home care for veterans and others, was recently named a “Preferred Provider” by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). According to owner David Hachmeister, the designation officially solidifies an already existing relationship between the company and the VA, which allows Care & Comfort at Home the ability to provide at-home benefits to quali-

fied U.S. veterans at no cost.

“We at Care & Comfort at Home consider it an honor to be named a VA Preferred Provider,” he said. “It’s a privilege to work closely with the VA to proDavid vide needed care to Hachmeister our nation’s heroes.”

There are two VA programs that assist veterans with home care: the

“Home Health Aid” (HHA) program, which provides free at-home care services to qualifying veterans who served in the military during a time of war; and, the “Aid and Attendance” benefit, primarily available to veterans who are in financial need of athome care.

For both programs, Care & Comfort at Home provides these veterans — free of charge — with many at-home care services that make their lives and those of their care-providers much easier. Services include

personal care and grooming, feeding assistance, transportation, meal preparation, grocery shopping, light housekeeping and more.

Care & Comfort at Home can also help veterans determine if they qualify for VA at-home care benefits.

The business has partnered with the American Veteran Care Connection (AVCC), which specifically assists qualified veterans cut through any red tape on their way to securing benefits.

“Many veterans qualify for benefits, but don’t know it,” Hachmeister

said. “We can help them find out if they do qualify, and if so, we can help them get those benefits as quickly as possible.

“We are very grateful to the VA for this distinguished honor and also to the veterans who have served out country so selflessly. We feel privileged to be able to serve them now, in return.”

Alumnus, Trustee Weigand to give $2.25 million to Center For Professional Excellence College President VanAken also announces $250,000 in scholarship gifts

Elmhurst College alumnus and longtime Trustee Russell Weigand (Class of 1964) and his wife, Joyce Slone Weigand, will give $2.25 million to the College to continue and enhance the work of the Center for Professional Excellence.

Elmhurst College President Troy D. VanAken announced the major gift to the College, as well as commitments from two other trustees, during his inauguration ceremony on Saturday, October 22.

“The College has no truer or more steadfast friends than Russ and Joyce Weigand, and their gift exemplifies philanthropy of the highest order because it shows their lasting commitment to our students and their success,” VanAken said.

President VanAken announced additional gifts and commitments on October 22, including a $150,000 pledge from alumnus and Trustee Edward Momkus (Class of 1974) and his wife, Betsy

Goltermann; and a $100,000 gift from Trustee Hugh McLean and his wife, Mary Beth. Both donations will support student scholarships.

“I am deeply grateful to Ed, Betsy, Hugh and Mary Beth for the dedication and generosity they have shown to Elmhurst College,” VanAken added.

“Their gifts will support our students’ goals and dreams for years to come.”

The $2.25 million leadership commitment from the Weigands will create an endowment for the Center for Professional Excellence. In honor of their gift, the College will name the program the Russell G. Weigand Center for Professional Excellence.

The gift “is a real tribute to the faculty and staff, and the value that we provide to students,”

Park District receives state funding for Butterfield Park redevelopment project

Waits almost two years for state to release OSLAD grant money

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

In January of 2015, the Elmhurst Park District received news that it had been awarded a $400,000 Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to be used for scheduled improvements to Butterfield Park. However, all grant funding was frozen by the state of Illinois prior to the District receiving any of the funding.

Now the funds have been released and the Park District has received $200,000 from OSLAD and will receive an additional $200,000

• Alumnus

in reimbursement in the coming months.

The $400,000 grant required the District to provide matching funds, which it has, and will assist with the completion of the more than $1.6 million project to redevelop Butterfield Park. The OSLAD funding will cover the costs of the refurbished tennis courts, lighting systems, ball field improvements, correcting drainage issues, adding a storm water detention basin and the repair and development of walking paths throughout the park.

Work on the park is nearly complete, and the District has scheduled a grand reopening ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 5 at 12 p.m. at which, the brand new universally-accessible Playground for Everyone will also be unveiled. It was funded separately through District resources and community donations.

Butterfield Park is located at 385 E. Van Buren.

said Lawrence Carroll, executive director of the Center for Professional Excellence and professor of business administration at the College.

“Russ understands that we’re doing something here that serves all majors—that we’re engaged to help all of our students, and alumni too,” Carroll added.

Established in 1997, the Center for Professional Excellence helps students identify and explore careers, and connects them with mentors and internship and employment opportunities.

Weigand has been gratified to see how the Center has evolved over the years, and appreciates how it integrates different aspects of the College, including not only career guidance resources but also the Honors Program and study-away and service-learning opportunities.

“It all made a lot of sense to me, all of the things that have become part of the Center,” he said. “The way it integrates liberal arts and professional preparation makes it one of the most distinctive parts of Elmhurst College.”

Last week, the Independent learned that the Elmhurst Park Board had approved the purchase of the property at 447 Armitage Avenue, adjacent to Berens Park.

The District’s primary objective for acquiring the site is to increase open space on the property adjacent to existing Berens Park. The acquisition of the property has been identi-

fied as an important step in the District’s strategic plan. The purchase price of $292,500 for the Armitage Avenue property was approved by Resolution R-05-16 at the Monday, Oct. 11th Park Board meeting.

In the months ahead, the Park District will determine the best shortand long-term use of the new park property while considering resident feedback from the upcoming fall 2016 Community Needs Assessment, in addition to the findings and recommendations of the District’s Comprehensive Plan, scheduled for completion in spring 2017.

Timothy Christian girls volleyball eliminated in regional final

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York girls volleyball team added some more postseason hardware to its collection.

The Dukes defeated Chicago Jones 25-20, 25-19 to win the Class 4A York regional.

It was York’s third regional title in a row and 21st in program history.

York advanced to the regional final after scoring a 25-17, 25-13 win over Chicago Payton.

York played in the Class 4A Addison Trail sectional earlier this week against Riverside-Brookfield.

If York won that match it will play either Glenbard West or Chicago Whitney Young for the sectional title Thursday at 6 p.m. at Addison Trail with the winner advancing to Saturday’s supersectional match at Schaumburg.

IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball The IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball team scored a 25-11, 25-8 win over Westmont to secure the Class 2A IC Catholic Prep regional title.

Earlier, the Knights advanced to the regional-championship match by scoring a 25-1, 25-3 win over Chicago Collins.

The Knights played in the Chicago Latin School sectional against

Woodlands Academy Tuesday. If the Knights defeated Woodlands they will play either Chicago Latin or Chicago Ogden for the sectional title Thursday at Latin at 6 p.m. The winner returns to IC Catholic Prep Saturday for a Class 2A supersectional match and a berth in the Class 2A state finals.

The regional title was IC Catholic Prep’s fourth since 2010.

Late in the regular season, the Knights won their final conference match against Wheaton Academy (21-25, 25-21, 25-16).

IC Catholic Prep then lost to Timothy Christian 26-24, 25-18 and closed out the regular season by winning its own Jean Field invitational with wins over Elk Grove, Southland, Bishop McNamara, Johnsburg and Trinity in the championship match (25-22, 2729, 15-10).

Timothy Christian girls volleyball The Timothy Christian girls volleyball team opened the Class 3A playoffs with a 25-4, 25-10 win over Chicago Rauner College Prep.

The Knights then dropped a 2522, 17-25, 25-20 decision to host Trinity in the Class 3A Trinity regional championship match.

The Trojans finished the season 31-6 overall and won the Metro Suburban Conference Red Division title.

York graduate Bartolai takes over Dukes’ girls badminton program

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

York’s new girls badminton coach is very familiar with the program she’s taking over.

The school recently announced 2003 alum Pia Bartolai is the new head girls badminton coach, taking over for Nicole Young, who stepped down after coaching York to 12 straight sectional titles and many individual and doubles state-tournament berths.

“I’m thrilled. This is really exciting,” said Bartolai. “I went to school here and played badminton all four years and have been coaching in the program seven years. To be able to become a head coach is something I’ve wanted to do. This is something I’m really passionate about.”

Bartolai played for former York

coaches Gary Grouwinkel and Gena Fite. Young was an assistant under Fite when Bartolai was in the program.

“Gena was an amazing player and coach,” said Bartolai. “She played at such a high level. She’s the one who instilled in me the fundamentals and basic skills and the competitive drive. Nicole is an amazing coach.

She took this program to another level. She taught me how a program has to be run. It’s not just coaching badminton. It’s interacting with the girls and getting them excited to play the sport. Nicole did an amazing job building this program.”

Bartolai’s goal as head coach is simple. “I would like to continue the successes Nicole started,” she said.

“Her teams won 12 sectional titles in a row. I would like to keep doing

that and keep getting girls to state on a continual basis and vie for the team state title. That would be the ultimate goal. Nicole was amazing.

Each year she would get five or six girls to the state meet (the maximum is six) and had some Top 10 teams.”

Bartolai, who is the instructional coach at Jefferson Elementary in Elmhurst, didn’t exactly intend on playing badminton growing up.

“It’s a funny story. I was a soccer player growing up,” she said. “I was thinking about what to do in high school and decided not to do soccer. I did other sports. I had played badminton in gym class in middle school and won the doubles tournament. I knew I might have a knack for it. I tried out and made the JV as a freshman at York and was on varsity sophomore through senior years

“

I would love to see it spread even farther and get more kids and teams involved.”

– Pia Bartolai

and then played intramural badminton in college. I tried it and stuck with it. I have such a passion for it.”

Bartolai has been impressed with the sport’s growth in popularity at the school.

“I can remember back in high school where people didn’t realize badminton was an actual sport. They thought of it as the activity you did in the back yard,” she said. “It’s one of the fastest-growing sports in high-

school athletics in general. I would love to see it spread even farther and get more kids and teams involved.”

Bartolai was part of a recent eighth-grade activity night where York players talked about the sport.

“It’s a great team environment,” she said. “The girls were saying how they love the team atmosphere and that’s something Nicole did a great job of building. Our girls support each other and enjoy each other’s company. The girls also know that academics always come first. We have one of the highest grade-point averages of any sport at York. It’s been word of mouth. Badminton is a sport you would like your daughter to be involved with at York and you want your friends to be involved with you because of the team environment.”

IC Catholic Prep football team opens playoffs with blowout win Knights now 10-0 after 49-8 victory

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The first round of the Class 3A state playoffs was no different than the previous nine games for the IC Catholic Prep football team.

The Knights registered a 49-8 victory over St. Joe-Ogden in a firstround 3A playoff matchup at Lewis Stadium in Elmhurst.

The win moved IC Catholic Prep to 10-0 overall. The top-seeded Knights will host No. 8 seed Paxton-Buckley-Loda in a second-round game either Friday or Saturday. PBL (9-1) drubbed Aledo Mercer County 50-2 in first-round action.

Quarterback Luke Ricobene was 5 of 10 passing for 189 yards and two touchdowns. Ricobene also led the Knights in rushing with a single 79yard touchdown run. Jordan Rowell ran three times for 54 yards and two scores, while Lazerick Eatman had four rushes for 50 yards and one touchdown.

IC Catholic Prep touched the ball

only eight times on the ground for 183 yards (22.9 yards per carry).

Khalil Saunders caught a 77yard touchdown pass, while Eatman snared a 36-yard touchdown pass from Ricobene. Khali Sanders had two catches for 42 yards (including a 27-yard reception). Rowell caught a 34-yard reception. Sanders, Eatman and Saunders are juniors or younger.

Kemon Reese, a sophomore, led the team in tackles with 23. Chris Johnson had 16 tackles and one tackle for loss.

Matt Sutton and Robert Vitek each had nine tackles. Matt Jordan registered two quarterback sacks. Reese had one quarterback sack.

Jordan and Saunders each recovered a fumble. Eatman caused a fumble, while Johnson and Rowell each had a pass deflection.

Eatman, who had three touchdowns on the day, also returned a kickoff 70 yards for a score. Rowell and Saunders each had a two-point conversion.

Sam Buffo made three extra points.

The Knights now have outscored opponents 517-74 this season. It was the first time in four games IC Catholic Prep had given up a point in a game and it marked the eighth time in 10 games a team has failed to score double digits against the Knights.

Forty-nine of the team’s points given

up came in Week 2 to a St. Laurence team that is competing in the Class 6A state playoffs, three classes above IC Catholic Prep. St. Laurence (7-3) won its first-round game 31-28 and hosts a second-round game this week.

On the individual statistical front, in 10 games, Rowell has now rushed 100 times for 1,396 yards and has scored 24 rushing touchdowns. RIcobene has 407 yards rushing and nine touchdowns, while Eatman has five touchdowns.

Ricobene has thrown for 1,732 yards and 21 touchdowns against only five interceptions.

Sutton has 21 catches for 348 yards and five touchdowns. Saunders, Eatman and Rowell each have four touchdown catches. Rowell has caught 27 passes for a team-high 466 yards. Rowell has 1,877 all-purpose yards.

Reese was leading the team in tackles with 113, while Johnson had 105.

Jimmy Kenneally was the leader in tackles for loss with 14, while Johnson had seven. Kenneally also was leading the team with seven quarterback sacks. Jordan had five. Jordan, Saunders and Rowell each had three interceptions.

Rowell was leading the way in total touchdowns with 28. Eatman had 11 touchdowns and Ricobene had nine.

Week 11 Preview Paxton-Buckley-Loda (9-1) at IC Catholic Prep (10-0) What: Second round of the Class 3A state football playoffs When: Friday or Saturday.

Check IHSA.org for exact day and time Where: Lewis Stadium at Plunkett Athletic Complex, Elmhurst Seeds: PBL is the No. 8 seed on the top half of the Class 3A bracket; IC Catholic Prep is the No. 1 seed Last week: PBL 50, Mercer County 2; IC Catholic Prep 49, St. Joe-Ogden 8

Outlook: Another week and another lopsided victory for IC Catholic Prep, which went over the 500-point total for the year in its first-round win over St. Joe-Ogden. The Knights were efficient, running only eight rushing plays and gaining 183 yards in the process, which included runs of 79, 51 and 24 yards. The Knights also had pass completions in the game of 77, 36, 34 and 24 yards—meaning the big-play potential is very much alive, well and vibrant. Paxton-Buckley-Loda is a high school located right off Interstate 57 on the way to Champaign in the town of Paxton. After splitting its first two contests, PBL has won its last eight in a row. It’s only loss is to Westville, which went 9-0 in the regular season. Of its eight other regular-season wins, five came against teams with winning records (including a 7-2, a 6-3 and three 5-4 teams). PBL can put up points as well, having scored 432 in 10 games while allowing 149. PBL won the Sangamon Valley Conference title. PBL will make an hour-and-45-minute trek up to Elmhurst for this game (about 120 miles).

Timothy Christian boys soccer team loses to Marmion in playoffs Allen finishes season with 31 goals

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Timothy Christian boys soccer coach Steve Fernandes knew his team was going to be in for a battle against Marmion in the semifinals of the Class 2A Fenton regional in Bensenville.

“We knew they were going to be good,” he said.

And good Marmion was. The Cadets scored a 3-0 win over Timothy Christian, eliminating the Trojans

from the state tournament a year after they had won the Class 1A state title.

“It was surprising the way it happened,” said Fernandes. “We knew we would have to play well. They are very good and we knew it would be a tough game. The way it went down was not how we were thinking. We definitely did not play to our potential. Marmion played very well. They finished some of the soft chances we gave up. Things were not clicking for us. We gave up some soft goals on silly mistakes.”

Timothy finished the season with an 11-6-1 overall record, but won the Metro Suburban Conference Red Division title with a perfect 6-0 mark.

“

But we have some younger guys coming up and we’ll bring back some of those injured guys.

We’ll have a differentlook team next year.”

–Coach Steve Fernandes

“Winning the conference title was great, but the way the season ended was shocking for everybody,” said Fernandes. “The last game was shocking, but it kind of encapsulated

the whole season. Other than a few halves, we never played to our full potential. We had a talented team, but we had four starters injured at the end. We never quite performed to our full potential.”

Jimmy Allen, a junior forward, was named the MSC Red Division MVP. He was joined on the Red Division all-conference team by senior midfielder Josh Anderson, senior defender Alex Markewycz, junior forward Michael Martens, sophomore midfielder Matt Van Zeelt and senior goalie Noah Marrera, as well as senior defender Nate Daniels.

“Nate was injured a lot of the season, but when he was with us, he was a great player,” said Fernandes.

Allen led the team with 31 goals

and 10 assists. “Last year Jimmy had two assists and this year he had 10,” Fernandes pointed out. “He was involved in a lot of our goals.”

Martens had 13 goals and 15 assists.

“We have a lot of good guys coming back,” said Fernandes. “We’re going to lose a lot of good guys, like Josh Nate and Alex. Those are big players that have played key roles on the past two teams. Noah, our goalie, has done a great job for us and played out of his mind in the playoffs last year. But we have some younger guys coming up and we’ll bring back some of those injured guys. We’ll have a different-look team next year, but we have a lot of talent coming back.”

Leader of the pack

Varsity veteran Reardon finishing up IC Catholic Prep volleyball run in style

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The setter of a volleyball team is much like the quarterback on a football team.

And with that high-visibility position comes leadership responsibilities.

That’s right up IC Catholic Prep senior girls volleyball standout Tess Reardon’s alley.

“My best tool as a player is my leadership,” she said. “It’s definitely helped me to become the player I am. I always want to help my teammates and pick them up. By doing that, it helps me find ways to get better as a player. Leadership is a good quality to have as a player. Not to sound conceited, but leadership comes naturally. Even if I wasn’t a captain, I would still look for ways to lead any way I could whether

it’s on the court or in school. At the same time, you have to work at it. In order to be a good leader, you have to be willing to work with people.”

It doesn’t hurt that Reardon has some pretty top-notch skills as a player as well. She recently helped the Knights win another Class 2A regional title. IC Catholic Prep played in a Class 2A sectional semifinal earlier this week.

Reardon also is enjoying running a standard one-setter offense this season.

“I’ve made the transition from a 6-2 to a 5-1 (single setter),” she said. “I’ve been able to develop my skills as a setter. I can spread out the offense and look for opportunities for our hitters. Those opportunities are made possible by the passes I get from my teammates and by our hitters having the willingness

to work with me with different sets and tempos.”

Reardon is the last remaining player in the program that was part of the 2013 state-championship team at IC Catholic Prep.

“This program is so rich in history,” she said. “There’s a very long history of success. This is a family as clichéd as that sounds. The girls I’ve played with have become some of my best friends. Even the girls who have graduated always are willing to help me in any way I need. I feel like I’m a mentor now to the younger girls. There is no age barrier here. We’re all friends and we’re one big family and the coaches are a big part of it. They have been super-helpful and always are there to give you guidance. One of the best things I’ve done in high school is being part of this pro-

gram.”

Reardon also plays basketball and soccer at IC Catholic Prep.

“I’ve found playing three sports to be stressful at times,” she said. “The coaches are very understanding and know the importance of academics.

If I’m ever struggling they know academics are placed first. There are a lot of multi-sport players at IC. As athletes we have to learn timemanagement skills. My teammates understand about academics and are willing to help me if I’m struggling in class.”

Reardon isn’t sure where college is going to take her yet, but is looking into studying something related to health care. She sports a 4.56 grade-point average at IC Catholic Prep, taking all honors classes.

“I don’t have plans right now to pursue one of my sports besides

maybe playing on a club team,” she said. “It will be difficult for me because I’ve played sports my whole life. I will stay involved, but I need to focus on academics and my future career.”

Overall, Reardon has enjoyed her time at IC Catholic Prep in general and will miss many aspects of her high-school experience.

“I’m going to miss the camaraderie with the sports teams I’ve played on,” she said. “Sports have been such a big part of my high-school experience. I will miss the overall atmosphere of this school. We have smaller class sizes here so you get to know so many great people on such a special level. I know I will be able to come back to IC and look at it as a second home. As they say here, once a Knight, always a Knight. That’s definitely true.”

York’s Hennessy finishes prep tennis career at state tournament Dukes’ senior also keeps plenty busy away from the courts

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

York senior girls tennis player Alex Hennessy keeps a busy calendar away from the courts.

Hennessy, who also plays lacrosse for York in the spring, is the president of the York student body council, is a member of the young politicians club at the school and recently joined the business-related DECA club.

Oh, and she still finds time to register a perfect 5.0 grade-point

average, meaning straight As in all honors classes throughout her tenure at York.

“Academics means a lot to me,” she said. “I’ve gotten home after tennis and have done hours of homework. It can get rough, but I’m used to it.”

Hennessy also is used to success on the tennis court. In her final season, Hennessy and doubles partner Maja Shaw qualified for the Class 2A state finals tournament. They won two matches at state. Hennessy finished with 22 wins on the season, while Shaw had 23.

“Making state was a big honor this year,” said Hennessy. “I’m so proud Maja and I made it. This year tennis

Timothy Christian’s Venema chooses UNC-Asheville to continue volleyball career

Senior helped Trojans to another 30-win season

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Timothy Christian senior girls volleyball player Ava Venema has had one distinct goal in mind concerning her future in the sport.

“I wanted to play Division I college volleyball,” she said.

Mission accomplished.

Venema will continue her volleyball career next season at NCAA Division I North Carolina-Asheville.

“It’s in the mountains and it’s a very pretty area,” she said. “I love the community. The players are nice and the coaches are nice. I went on my visit and I already felt like part of the team.”

Venema would like to study health and wellness with an eye on being an

athletic trainer.

“Getting a Division I scholarship is awesome,” she said. “It shows that all the hard work and time I put into everything paid off. It’s great for my parents who have spent a lot of time and money with me playing club volleyball. And being able to play at Timothy has helped me. It’s validation that if you work hard you will get to where you want to be.”

Venema was part of a Timothy team this fall that once again hit the 30-win barrier and won the Metro Suburban Conference Red Division title.

“I was more consistent,” said Venema, who also noted her blocking has improved. “I’ve been able to work on shots more in practice in terms of when to hit the ball and where it goes. I’ve also worked on where teams are going to play on the other side of the net and if I need to

changed to a class system (Class 1A and Class 2A state tournaments) instead of all schools playing against each other. This year the tournaments are split with bigger schools and smaller schools. Last year, the sectional we played in was easier to get to state.”

Not so this year, Hennessy said.

“This year we were in a sectional with all the big schools by us, including Lyons Township and Hinsdale Central, which finished first and second in the state,” she said. “To say we qualified out of a sectional like that is an amazing feeling.”

Hennessy, who plans on playing club tennis in the winter at the Wheaton Sports Center after her previous longtime haunt in Westmont went out of business, noted the success of her partnership with Shaw had roots in both the physical, mental and emotional parts of the

game.

“Maja and I had a lot of communication with each other,” she said. “We talked all the time on and off the court. What made us such great partners is we didn’t necessarily criticize each other, but we gave each other good advice. We loved it when one told the other what they were doing wrong. We were fortunate in the fact we were able to be so honest with each other. We could talk to each other and we could give each other constructive criticism.”

On the court, the duo complemented each other’s strengths.

“Coach (Tres Heimann) said our bread and butter was when Maja was at the baseline because she is great with her ground strokes and I was at the net poaching volleys and putting away points,” said Hennessy.

“Another strength of ours later in the year was when I was serving and

Trojan tennis at state

Maja was at the net.”

Hennessy, who hasn’t made a decision on where she will continue her education yet (a political science major and club tennis could be in the cards at her destination school), said she loved her time in the York girls tennis program.

“There was no other high-school experience like playing York tennis,” said Hennessy, a two-time state qualifier. “We were super-close this year and so supportive of each other. We even had a team sleepover, which was a lot of fun. York tennis taught me about determination and never giving up. I also improved my skills. Tennis is thought more of as an individual sport, but you have to support your teammates, especially when you are playing doubles and working with someone else. This team taught me a lot of educational and social skills. I had so much fun.”

The legend has landed

Coaching great Newton scheduled to help prepare York boys cross-country team for state meet this week

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The final chapter in legendary York boys cross-country coach Joe Newton’s career is playing out this week.

Newton told the Independent last weekend he was scheduled to fly from his home in Arizona to Chicago on Tuesday and be present for York practices Wednesday and Thursday prior to the Dukes heading down to Peoria for the Class 3A boys state meet at Detweiller Park that takes place Saturday.

Newton, in his 60th year as a teacher or coach at York, is in his final season with the boys crosscountry team.

Newton told the Independent due to an ongoing injury that is limiting his mobility, he will not travel with

• Venema

the team to Peoria for the state meet.

Newton has led the York boys crosscountry team to a record 28 Illinois state titles.

Instead, Newton said he planned on helping get the Dukes ready for Peoria during the two practices he was scheduled to be present at this week.

“I’m going to help get the guys mentally ready for the state meet,” he said.

Newton, who was out with his wife getting ice cream in Arizona when the Independent called, was informed of York’s strong statequalifying showing at the Class 3A Niles West sectional.

“The guys responded very well,” he said. “Charlie Kern Jr. got second and Sean MacGregor was in the Top 10. We are coming together at the

right time. They are coming on at the right time.”

Newton said his advice will be simple when he talks to the players this week and will have to do with his encounter with Olympic goldmedalist runner Sebastian Coe. “When he came to America in 1984 he stayed at my home for three weeks and then went to LA and got a gold medal in the mile and took second in the 800,” said Newton.

“My point is this. During the time he stayed, one night my wife was doing the dishes after dinner and Sebastian and I were at the table. I asked him what it was like running in the Olympics. He told me when you get to the Olympics the mind is four times more important than the physical part. If your head is screwed up, you ain’t going to do

(Continued from page 34)

hit around a block, things like that.”

Venema said Timothy was at its best this season when all facets of the game were in play. “When the other team gets one over the net you need to have a good pass for the setter so she can set a good ball for the hitters,” she said. “When everybody is doing their part, that’s when things work really well for us.”

Venema marveled at the success Timothy has enjoyed this season.

“It’s awesome,” she said. “We always have new girls who come in who have the same goal as everybody else—to work hard and communicate well. Everybody wants to be successful. We have girls who strive for that, which is great. Everybody wants the same thing and everybody wants to do their job.”

Venema also reflected on her four years in the Timothy volleyball program. “My coaches have helped

me get so much better,” she said.

“From my club coaches to coach (Scott) Piersma (Timothy head coach) and coach Jordyn (Glasscock) and coach (Jon) Hamelinck, they’ve all helped me improve. If they see I’m not doing something right, they will let me know what I need to work on. The coaches I’ve had know what they are talking about. I’ve had a great time playing at Timothy.”

“

It’s time. When it’s time you have to get your butt out of there.

I love my job and I have loved going to York every day the last 60 years.”

it. My expertise is getting peoples’ head straight so they can go out and do what they do.”

Newton likes the talent York has heading into the state meet. “Charlie Kern Jr. finished second in the state last year as only a sophomore,” he said. “He has a chance to be right there again. Sean MacGregor should be up there as well. Things are on the upswing at York. Charlie Kern (Sr.) is a good coach who knows how to handle the kids and he has a great assistant coach in Jim Hedman. The program is in very good hands. Charlie has done a magnificent job of bringing the boys around.

The name of the game is being ready on the day.”

Newton also reflected on his record-breaking coaching career at York. “It’s time,” he said. “When it’s time you have to get your (butt) out of there. I love my job and I have

loved going to York every day the last 60 years.”

Newton is scheduled to be honored in a celebration of his career Sunday at the high school.

“My son is handling it and he thinks there could be 3,000 people there including a lot of guys who ran for me,” he said. “It’s a great way to end it all—my 60th year at York.”

Sunday’s festivities start with a cross-country social/reunion in the York Campbell Gym from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Newton is scheduled to attend the main celebration from 1-3 p.m. in the Joe Newton Fieldhouse. The event will feature speakers, one of whom is Al Janulis, a former York athletic director and Newton runner.

York High School said the public is invited to attend both events.

“It’s going to be a big day,” said Newton.

Keeping it simple

Junior MacGregor a key cog for York boys cross-country team

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

York junior boys cross-country runner Sean MacGregor has played a major role in the success of the team this fall.

MacGregor recently finished seventh overall at the Class 3A Niles West sectional to help the Dukes earn yet another berth in this weekend’s state finals meet in Peoria.

Prior to that, MacGregor finished second at the Lake Park regional and also finished sixth overall at the West Suburban Conference Silver Division meet.

The secret to MacGregor’s success, you ask?

“Not too much,” he said. “I have a specific routine I do each race. I’ve been

doing it for two years and I’ve been sticking with it.”

MacGregor places a major emphasis on preparation. “Every practice I go out and run as hard as I can,” he said. “I treat every practice like a race. I take care of my body. I ice every day and I eat well.

Those are the most important things.”

MacGregor is a fan of assessing the field during the beginning of the race before making his move. “I usually start out farther behind the front pack,” he said.

“I let the rabbits go out and see if they go out at a fast pace. I will find my stride before the one-mile mark. My favorite thing is to keep a good kick at the very end for the last 400.”

MacGregor is having a blast being part

of another York boys cross-country team that will end the season in Peoria.

“The guys are great,” he said. “We are really tight as a group. A lot of us have been running since seventh grade. We all know each other. Three of the top seven runners came from Visitation and the other four are from Bryan Middle School. We’re all familiar with each other dating back to middle school, which is really great.”

MacGregor’s start in the sport came after seeing his brother, Colin, run crosscountry at Visitation. “I did whatever he did,” he said. “I tried out for cross-country at Vis in fifth grade and then discovered I was pretty good at it and stuck with it.”

When he’s not running, MacGregor enjoys playing other sports recreationally.

Though he is in the process of deciding on a college to attend, he’s pretty sure he’s going to focus on some type of business management-marketing field of study.

But first, MacGregor and the Dukes have some business to attend to Saturday at Detweiller Park in Peoria in what will bring to a close the legendary high-school coaching career of the iconic Joe Newton.

“We have to focus on what is important and that’s getting a trophy,” he said. “We have to stay mentally tough. There’s a lot of pressure, but it’s a good pressure. Being part of this program has been remarkable.

I’m so blessed that I’m a runner and am in a program like York. It’s so cool to be part of something that has the history that is unlike any other cross-country team.”

This photo was taken in front of the Anna Lebiecka-Helma Insurance Agency Inc., where police said this white Chevy Blazer, driven

by Kayli A. Balchowicz, 21, of Lombard, crashed through the front window of the agency. No injuries were reported. Balchowicz was charged with DUI, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and improper lane usage.

The lobby area of the Anna Lebiecka-Helma Insurance Agency Inc., located at 401 E. North Ave in Villa Park, is left in shambles after police said a 21-year-old Lombard woman drove her vehicle right through the front window of the business. Luckily, there were no injuries reported.

What you need to know about atrial fibrillation and stroke (BPT) - Each year, millions of people in the U.S. have an irregular heartbeat, also known as an arrhythmia, according to the American Heart Association. Heart arrhythmias are common and can be harmless. However, certain arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation (AFib), may produce pooling and clotting of the blood which can then travel to other parts of the body, damaging the brain, lungs and other organs if not treated appropriately.

“Heart arrhythmias are difficult to diagnose and may lead to serious health complications such as stroke,” says Dr. Richard Chang, a cardiologist at John Muir Medical Center in Northern California. “A patient who is experiencing symptoms like palpitations or faintness should see a physician immediately. It is important to remember that prevention is key. Early detection of AFib is important to reduce unnecessary medical visits.”

According to a recent presentation at the Heart Rhythm Society’s Annual Scientific Sessions, the longer a person is in AFib, the higher their risk of experiencing a blood clot and subsequent stroke, if not taking blood thinner. To diagnose AFib, a physician will typically conduct a physical examination, including heart-monitoring tests. Traditional methods include an electrocardiogram (ECG) to measure the

timing and duration of each electrical signal of the heart. Holter monitors are portable ECG devices that are generally prescribed for a day or two to record heart activity. However, Holter monitors are restricted in their ability to identify AFib because they are difficult to wear and capture only limited heartbeat information.

More advanced technologies, such as continuous cardiac monitors, provide long-term recording and storage of the heart’s electrical activity. This is essential for detecting and documenting potential AFib, which can sometimes occur infrequently and without symptoms.

These devices, such as the Zio system by iRhythm, records and stores beat-to-beat heart rhythm data in its entirety, including AFib burden, which can provide a more complete picture to a health care provider.

Analysis of the beat-to-beat data allows for a faster, more accurate diagnosis by physicians and treatment for the patient.

Additionally, the high diagnostic yield potentially eliminates the need for further testing, leading to reduced health care costs.

Visit www.irhythmtech.com today to learn more about the symptoms and risks of AFib and how continuous cardiac monitoring can help improve how heart arrhythmias are diagnosed and managed.
