Opus six-story building aimed for rental units Consultant: demand not strong for condominiums

By Dan McLeister For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — The proposed Opus six-story building on the northwest corner

of Addison and First is aimed for luxury rental units in what consultant Tracy Cross said is a very deep market in Elmhurst which can sustain both the Hahn Street project and the Opus development.

The consultant stated that there would not be significant crossover from the Hahn Street development, which is currently under construction

further north on Addison and has about a one year head start.

Both projects have space for retail uses.

Cross indicated that about 60 percent of the building would be one-bedroom units with an average of 900 square feet. Prices were not provided.

At a public hearing on February 11th before the Zoning

and Planning Commission (ZPC), Cross stated that about 60 percent of renters are predicted to be younger than 35 years of age with the bulk of them between 28 and 32.

Addressing the concerns of some people, he said the units would likely be too expensive for Elmhurst College students, many of whom commute and don’t live on campus.

About 40 percent of the renters would probably be 45-65 years of age, according to Cross. He called them “reverse snowbirds,” who would use an Opus rental unit as a second home for part of the year.

To build the project, Opus

t’s another one for the ages, for it has been 20 years since a group of citizens, mostly merchants of Spring Road, along with police and fire officials from the City as well as then-Mayor Tom Marcucci, gathered at Silverado Restaurant early one morning, long before the steaks start grilling, to consider the first-ever Elmhurst St. Patrick’s Day Parade. It had been on many people’s minds for quite some time, even years for some like the late Doug Kuester who, along with his business partner, owned the window company on Spring Road.

One committee member recalled arguing with Kuester at that first meeting, insisting the parade have porta-potties.

Kuester didn’t think they were necessary, that people were welcome to use the restroom in his store. Only two were rented that first year. Imagine that now!

We’ve come a long way baby!

The 20th Annual Elmhurst St. Patrick’s Day Parade can proudly boast having Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner among its entries for at least two years, possible three. His entourage marched in the 2014 parade, when he was only a candidate for Governor. At that parade, Parade Committee Chair Jim

Hard to believe it, but it’s less than three weeks until the 20th annual Elmhurst St. Patrick’s Day Parade steps off from Wilson St. and journeys north along Spring Road. This year’s event begins at 12 noon on Saturday, March 5. Pictured are dancers from the Mayer’s School of Irish Dance who performed at last year’s parade.

O’Connor asked him if he would come back in 2015 were he elected; Rauner replied yes, he would. Once Rauner was elected to the state’s highest office, O’Connor made a great number of follow-up calls and e-mails to get the governor to keep his promise. After much coercing, Rauner returned last year and served as Grand Marshal.

Having the governor of the state of Illinois attend the Elmhurst St. Patrick’s Day Parade didn’t even enter the minds of those committee members back in 1996. They were just trying to get it off the ground in a successful way so that it would have a chance to grow.

And grow it has! In the last few years, a record number of spectators have turned out, especially when the tempera-

tures were mild.

This year’s parade steps off at 12 noon on Saturday, March 5, starting at the intersection of Wilson Street and Spring Road and continuing north on Spring to the railroad tracks.

The year’s Grand Marshal is Elmhurst College.

Sponsors include the following: Emerald sponsors: City of Elmhurst, Doc Ryan’s, Total Garage Door Solutions, International Contractors Inc., Riley’s Gathering Place, Silverado Grill, Spring Inn and Berkshire Hathaway Realtors.

Platinum sponsors: Elmhurst College Blue Jays and the Spring Road Business Association.

So, bundle up the kids, dress in layers for the weather (all in green of course), and come out for a day of music and fun all along Spring Road on Mar. 5. Who knows, you might just find a bit o’ the Irish luck.

GreenMan’s annual Murder Mystery returns Feb. 19 Gillian’s Island: Dead Wreckoning takes stage for annual fundraiser

ELMHURST — The famous castaways who embarked on a “three hour cruise,” tempt fate again a number of years later, with disastrous results.

Who knew that “lightning,” (in the form of a terrible storm) would strike twice?? Some of the original group come with the Skipper to help a pair of archaeologists explore the caves for native artifacts, while others arrive at the island with Gillian, who is captain of a “Love Boat” style cruise ship… which gets shipwrecked as well.

Hilarity ensues when “pirates” from a movie set show up, bent on treasure

hunting…and they are shipwrecked, too! What do the caves contain: only historical artifacts, or priceless treasure?

Soon the hunt is on and the result will be a “dead reckoning” for someone!

The show runs for five performances: Friday Feb. 19 at 7 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m., Friday Feb. 26 at 7 p.m., Saturday Feb. 27 at 7 p.m., and Sunday Feb. 28 at 6 p.m.. Tickets are $50 each and include the show and an Italian meal with soup, salad, entrée, coffee, and dessert. Advance paid reservations are required for this production.

Doors open an hour prior to showtime for a social hour with cash bar available. The actors, in character, will mingle with the audience at that time as well as during the meal breaks.

The Troupe says the performances on Saturday Feb. 20 & 27 are rapidly filling up and could easily sell out. Best

seating remains for the performance on Friday, Feb. 26.

GreenMan Theatre produces a different murder mystery dinner theatre event as its major fundraiser every year.

The production will be held in the banquet hall at Angelo’s Ristorante at 247 N. York Street in Elmhurst.

Patrons can enjoy the festivities as well as supporting local theatrical arts.

The show unfolds in the center of the banquet hall, and the patrons who reserve tickets early will get seated at a table closest to the action. Groups are more than welcome to attend and are encouraged to register together to ensure they are seated at the same table. Each table seats ten people.

Tickets must be reserved online at greenmantheatre.com or contact the box office at 630-464-2646. Free parking is available.

Obituary

• OPUS

Continued from page 1 is seeking variations to what attorney Scott Day called antiquated zoning regulations. He noted that Elmhurst has a new draft for the Downtown Plan.

Day said the Opus site was the best one in Elmhurst for a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) since it was across from the Metra train station. One of the goals for a TOD is more pedestrians and fewer cars.

During the public comment portion of the public hearing, five residents expressed concerns about the height of the building as well as train commuters rushing through an alley, which is part of the Opus site. Also mentioned were possible problems of lights shining on nearby houses.

State Representative – 46th District Heidi Holan

Day commented that the City can deal with traffic problems created by people making improper uses. Also, he noted that the City has codes to deal with issues like lighting.

On March 10, the ZPC will deliberate about the Opus request for about 160 units. When deliberations are complete, the ZPC will issue a report to the City Council, which will send it to the Development, Planning and Zoning Committee, a group of three aldermen who will study the ZPC document and recommend its approval or disapproval by the full City Council, which has the final vote.

Super ads are a fun part of the festivities

E

verything about the Super Bowl is super.

Super teams. Super players. Super stadium. Super day. Super parties. Super national anthem. Super halftime show.

Super fans. Super nacho cheese sauce in my slow cooker. And of course, my personal favorite, super commercials.

When it comes to the Super Bowl, football is only part of the day. Advertisements during the big game have become so popular they create a conundrum for viewers. When to replenish your beverage – during the game or during the commercials? You really don’t want to miss either so most of us do what I call the penalty flag dash.

The hype surrounding a 15 or 30 second spot for Doritos is almost as exciting as the game itself (not to mention the birth of a baby). The anticipation grows during the days preceding Super Sunday. Which

will have the better ad – Coke or Pepsi? Who’s not going to be themselves until they eat a Snickers bar?

How will the Clydesdales and Labrador pups tug at our heartstrings this year? =Unfortunately for me, they didn’t. The majestic horses weren’t teamed with little puppies in the name of selling beer.

Instead the company opted for a British actress who lectured viewers saying people who didn’t listen to her message were a, “shortsighted, utterly useless, oxygen-wasting human form of population.” While her

message was a fine one, I’m not sure how calling millions of people useless will lead to increased beer sales. But I’m no advertising guru. Even so, I would have preferred a few puppies.

In a year where the Panthers faced the Broncos, it seemed fitting there were a number of ads that featured animals. I’m always in favor of a cutesy, clever critter commercial.

You’ve got to love the ingenuity and inspiration that went into the wiener dog ad. It takes nothing short of creative brilliance to come up with the idea of dressing a wiener dog like a wiener. And then (wait for it…) multiplying the effect with dozens of wiener dogs and having them run toward people dressed as giant bottles of ketchup, mustard and other assorted condiments. That’s the exact sort of unique cleverness I tune in to see each year – even though this

one made me lose my appetite.

I enjoyed the talking grizzly bears, especially the one that claimed to be vegan. (Gotta love the sarcastic humor of bears.)

Another favorite was the sheep singing a classic Queen song.

A cappella. In perfect harmony.

Who even knew sheep could sing?

The marmot spot pushed a bunch of cuteness buttons. Plus it educated a few of us about marmots, which I’ve always called ground hogs. Prior to last Sunday, I’d never even heard of a marmot. Varmint, yes. Marmot no. Not that I’m mistaking one for the other. But if it looks like a rodent and walks like a rodent…

I’ve saved the best for last.

One word: puppy-monkeybaby. By creating a creature with the head of a pug dog, the body and tail of a monkey and legs of a baby (complete with diaper) the ad coined a new

term for all things weird in less than 30 seconds. Plus the little critter had a rattle and wasn’t afraid to shake it. I used to be afraid of clowns. Now I have to worry about a puppy-monkeybaby hiding under my bed.

The Super Bowl: more than 100 million people tuned in this year – some to watch the game, some to watch the commercials (and all to eat nachos). Now we wait. For a whole 12 months to see which teams make it to the big game and which commercials to our flat screens.

Like many of us, I’ll be watching eagerly to find out. Because as effective as the marmot and monkey-puppy-baby were, next year I really hope they bring back the horses and the puppies.

The school year already exploding with success

By Dr. David Moyer, Superintendent of Schools, District 205 Guest columnist

This communication will highlight the work from the recent January Institute Day, as the primary work of the District for the foreseeable future will include an unrelenting focus on assessment, particularly formative assessment, which is shown to be one of the instructional strategies with the greatest positive impact on student learning.

When I interviewed for the superintendent position in the spring of 2015, I advocated for a culture that supports the Moral Imperative of Raising the Bar and Closing the Achievement Gap for All Students. At the same time, I strongly suggested the importance of establishing an operational plan for the District. At this point in the year, it seems appropriate to review these concepts and celebrate its many successes.

The Focus 205 process, which included four Community Engagement Sessions this

past fall, will provide a foundation for a longer-term master plan. However, in the interim, I felt it was paramount that the District develop a framework for its efforts to improve student achievement. This framework will provide a lens to focus resource allocation decisions in the District until a more comprehensive plan is developed.

The Board agreed and approved such a plan in August of 2015 that includes a Community Compact. This document outlines the District’s commitment to provide the highest quality educational experiences for students consistent with the current research. The words were carefully selected to acknowledge and encourage the importance of all parties working together collaboratively to maintain and strengthen the interrelated goals of a high quality public school system and a healthy community.

It then outlines two specific objectives listed below that specify the priorities for 201516 and expected outcomes.

Objective One - Develop a

Balanced Assessment System and Improve Assessment Literacy throughout the District Objective Two - Increase Student Engagement in All Grades EC-12 The 2015-16 school year is exploding with success. We have many people to thank for this tremendous start.

First and foremost, we are blessed with talented, engaged students and dedicated, hardworking teachers, support staff and administrators. Second, we have passionate and involved parents who are willing to roll up their collective sleeves and help get the job done. And third, that we are blessed with a supportive community, which values public education. With that strong base in mind, we look forward to continuing the tradition of excellence in District 205.

To date this year, the District has: Successfully launched its Mobile Learning Implementation in which all students in grades 6-12 utilize Chromebooks to accelerate learning, promote student engagement,

and support Future Ready learning; Increased the amount and quality of writing in grades K-5 by implementing the Lucy Caulkins writing system; Developed, piloted, and implemented common assessments in grades K-12 to ensure a guaranteed and viable curriculum for all students; Progressed in the development of a rich, engaging, standards-aligned K-5 English/ Language Arts Curriculum for grades K-8 for implementation in 2016-17; Launched a Middle School Task Force to study strategies for continuous improvement in grades 6-8; And more!

The District is organizing its efforts around the importance of building the capacity of its teachers and developing leadership. It utilizes the Professional Learning Communities Model and effect size research to support this work. For example, every principal meeting is a collaborative workshop in which administrators lead their peers through group learning

activities that help improve the team’s ability to be the lead learners of school improvement efforts in Elmhurst.

January 29 Institute Day Our teachers and administrators have been studying the work of two internationally renowned assessment experts – Dr. Dylan Wiliam and Jan Chappuis. On January 29, for the second consecutive year, they came to Elmhurst to inspire, guide and challenge our educators during the January 29 Institute Day. The focus was the formative assessment process, which allows teachers and students to answer the following three questions: 1) where am I now?

2) where am I going? and 3) how do I close the gap? The process provides frequent information to students and teachers through such modes as informal observations, discussions, quizzes, and daily classroom activities. This information and feedback received provides the instructional decision on next

City begins second flooding plan on Park District land Golden Meadows next, York Commons pending

By Dan McLeister For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — Work has begun on a second Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City and the Park District, while the first one is still pending.

In the first IGA about York Commons, there have been several meetings about wheth-

er or not to include a shut-off valve, which would cost an additional $100,000, approximately. The Park District wants it to be included, but the City says it is not necessary, and aldermen voted in January not to include it. It was to be discussed again at a February 16th City Council meeting.

Jim Kennedy (6th Ward), chairman of the Public Works and Buildings (PWB) Committee, said the Park District is trying to force the City to include the valve.

In the Golden Meadows plan, one key point is that the

Park District wants the City to pay one-and- one-half times the appraised value of the land.

At a February 8th meeting, the PWB Committee recommended that the City enter into an IGA for the construction operation and maintenance of a temporary storm water detention basin and other improvements at Golden Meadows Park.

A study by Christopher Burke Engineering indicated that by providing approximately 14 acre-feet of storage at this location, flood reduction benefits could be provided to

20 homes in a 100-year storm.

Burke said that type of storm would produce as much as 7.58 inches of rain in 24 hours. He indicated that about 20 trees would be cut down, but that larger diameter trees could be saved.

City Manager Jim Grabowski said the City would get three certified appraisers to establish the value of the Golden Meadows land.

Mayor Steve Morley suggested the possibility of establishing an escrow account.

“My sole purpose is to get a shovel in the ground as soon as

possible,” he said.

Kennedy agreed, saying the idea was “to get the ball rolling tonight.”

“The sticking point is how much the City will pay for the land for which the Illinois Department of Natural Resources is involved,” he said.

Jim Rogers, executive director of the Elmhurst Park District, said he has looked at pieces of land, which could be purchased to replace the land at Golden Meadows used for temporary storm water detention.

A Monthly Guide to Living Your Life to the Fullest

Four tips to live better in retirement (StatePoint) The conceptions and realities of retirement have changed a great deal over the past several decades, giving many seniors misgivings about the future. But your golden years can be happy, healthy and productive, say experts.

“For many individuals, confusion, fear and an overwhelming sense of

powerlessness accompany the prospect of growing old in America. The good news is that we have power to address these concerns,” says Scott Page, author of the new book “It’s Never Too Late: Getting Older, Wiser, and Worry-Free in our Golden Years.”

parent or loved one? Here, Page offers expert tips on living better: Living Ideas Reducing housing expenses can have an extra upside. For example, downsizing your empty nest offers you the benefit of less house to maintain. Moving to a region of the country cheaper than your current area may take you somewhere sunnier, warmer and better suited for aging.

Another popular way to live more frugally is to consider taking on a roommate. “Coliving arrangements like the ‘The Golden Girls’ are becoming more popular with single or widowed seniors. It helps save money and can be beneficial for socialization and support,” says Page.

Make Money You can rake in extra income that doesn’t feel like work. Review your talents and hobbies. Are you an excellent baker, a talented woodworker or musician?

“Seniors often have a lot of time on their hands, and they may be able to transform hobbies or interests into a way to make a little money,” says Page, who points out that such activities can also be an excellent way to stay engaged and active, keeping minds and bodies vibrant.

Saving Tips Don’t be shy about using the age card. After all, you have worked hard for it. Senior discounts are available at restaurants, stores, on travel, adult education classes and gym memberships, and sites like Restaurant.com or Groupon have special bargain days for seniors.

You can also save by eliminating unnecessary expenses. For example -- do you still need that landline telephone?

Can you bundle certain services to help reduce costs?

Do an inventory of your possessions to determine which objects to keep and which to

discard or sell. Free worksheets, available at scottpage.com/freetools, can help you make smart decisions.

Connect with Friends Consider planning meals with a support network.

“Maybe Sally takes Monday nights, Judy takes Wednesday nights and Sarah takes Friday nights,” says Page. “Cooking for more than one person encourages community, and can be costeffective if everyone is sharing in the responsibility.”

Maintain an active social media presence online to stay connected to friends and family. Those with the same interests as you are just a mouse click away.

Three reasons to shop at small businesses between 1993 and mid-2013, according to government statistics.

Spending your shopping budget locally strengthens Main Street and can help your community’s economy thrive.

New Technologies A common stereotype of mom and pop stores are that they are antiquated and overpriced, but many small businesses are adopting new technologies to streamline their operations; which can be an important consideration for shoppers in a hurry or on a budget.

New Android based point of sale terminals, such as

the ergonomically designed V-R7000 and V-R7100 from Casio have widescreen LCD touch panels, and an intuitive, high-resolution interface for faster sales and fewer transactional snafus.

For example, these terminals come equipped with a battery to protect memory data in the event of a power failure, and offer efficient store operations by eliminating common hardware problems experienced with PC based hardware. These information terminals can transform retail management and offer small businesses a chance to compete against their

big box counterparts.

Exclusive Items From the gift shop with handmade crafts made by neighborhood artisans, to the bookshop selling the works of local authors, shopping at small businesses means encountering items on sale that you won’t

find elsewhere. Whether you’re redecorating your home or revamping your wardrobe, going local can help you get inspired.

The next time you’re on a shopping spree, consider making a point of supporting your small, local businesses.

186149

(StatePoint) Big box retailers may offer certain conveniences, but shopping at a small business near you can be more satisfying -- from the personal service received to the unique items you may find, not to mention that shopping on Main Street benefits the local economy.

Here are some retail trends and other things to consider as you shop at your favorite small businesses.

Park Board News

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

ELMHURST — The Elmhurst Park District Board held a regular meeting on Feb. 10 at the district’s administrative building at 375 W. First Street. All seven commissioners attended, including Commissioner Doug Ennis via telephone.

There were no comments from the public at the meeting.

Update on IGAs with City Elmhurst Park District Executive Director Jim Rogers joined Commissioner Kevin Graf and Commissioner Vince Spaeth in providing an update of the park district’s ongoing negotiations with the City of Elmhurst over the potential construction of storm water detention basins on park district property, including York Commons. Rogers, Graf and Spaeth are the park district’s representatives on a storm water subcommittee that also includes representatives from the city.

The city and the park district are attempting to negotiate an intergovernmental agreement regarding the city’s construction of a storm water detention area at York Commons. The major sticking point appears to be a shut-off valve at the site. The park district insists that the basin include an automated shut-off valve, while the City questions the need for it.

A Jan. 26th letter from Elmhurst Mayor Steve Morley and Elmhurst City Manager Jim Grabowski to the park district included four questions, including: “Is the installation of a shutoff valve a necessity for this project?”

The park district’s response in a Jan. 29th letter to Mayor Morley, Grabowski and the city council included comments from Greg Wolterstorff of V3 Companies of Illinois, who has been advising the park district during its negotiations with the City

over the use of park land for storm water detention.

Wolterstorff stated the information provided by city and its engineer demonstrate “an increased 500-year discharge to York Street” without the valve, and no overflow with the valve.

Wolterstorff’s responded to the city’s question about the necessity of a valve: “V3 understands that the Elmhurst Park District Board has consistently expressed a concern for implementing a solution that may shift a flooding problem from one location to a new location. The shutoff valve would prevent this overflow and maintain existing conditions at Crescent Street for storms exceeding the 100-year event.”

Rogers noted the city council agreed by a vote of 9-4 at its Feb. 1 meeting that it would reconsider the IGA at its Feb. 16 meeting. On Jan. 18, the city council voted 10-0 to approve the agreement if the terms did not include the installation of a shut-off valve.

Infrastructure improvements best long-term solution: Spaeth Commissioner Spaeth stated during the Feb. 10 park district board meeting that improving the infrastructure is the best solution for alleviating flooding in the area around York Commons. Spaeth and Graf also mentioned V3 Companies’ studies determined that a larger basin than the one proposed at York Commons, or an additional basin, would not significantly reduce flooding problems in the area. Spaeth and Graf said they hoped the park district and city would soon reach an agreement that would lead to the construction of a basin in the near future.

Spaeth also noted that the city had recently bought four homes near East End Park. East End is another park district site that has been the subject of negotiations regarding its potential of storm water detention. The homes will be demolished, creating space

Support group for Parkinson’s disease to start in April Dr. Morris spearheading efforts to form network of assistance

By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — While it’s always a delight to run into former District 205 Superintendent Dr. Joel Morris, it was sad to learn he had recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. But he’s not moping, in fact, far from it.

“Oh, I’m in a good place right now,” he told The Independent. “My symptoms are under control. There have been a great many advances in treatment and medication for Parkinson’s in the past several years.”

What may have been missing in Elmhurst is the presence of a support group for those with Parkinson’s disease. But that is about to change.

“At the March 7th City Council meeting, Mayor Morley will read a proclamation,” Morris said. “In it, they will recognize April as Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month to encourage attendance at the new support group.”

The first meeting of the Parkinson’s support

group will be held at Elmhurst Hospital on April 28 from 1-2:30 p.m. (More details TBA.) Morris is pleasantly surprised at the number of groups willing to take part in the effort and to present themselves at the first gathering.

“The Park District will talk about programs they have for people with Parkinson’s” he said. Salt Creek Ballet is going to open a program just for people with PD. The hospital is going to offer various programs, such as body movement which can ease symptoms.”

The group plans to meet once a month, at least at the beginning.

“It is our hope to become a national model for other hospitals, communities and care units,” Morris said. “What I like is that we’ve managed to put together a group of not only medical people and support services for individuals and families, but also we have a wide range of others committed to help the cause, including the Park District, the library, Elmhurst College, numerous businesses, Community Bank of Elmhurst, Salt Creek Ballet… it’s wonderful that these [companies] are willing to come together to offer support to those with Parkinson’s.”

for storm detention. Spaeth said the purchase and demolition of homes is a better and more cost effective option than constructing basins on existing park district space.

The storm water subcommittee will hold its next meeting on Feb. 18.

Bid for sledding hill rejected, deemed ‘irresponsible’

Park commissioners voted unanimously during the Feb. 10 meeting to reject the bid from Continental Construction of Evanston as not a responsible bid for the sledding hill improvement project at Ben Allison Park. The bid will instead be awarded to Team Reil of Union, Ill. In its current condition, the sledding hill presents safety concerns.

One of those concerns is the short run-out area on the west side of the hill that ends abruptly at a fence.

Additionally, the run-out area on the north side of the hill features a 10-foot drop that ends in the adjacent roadway on Scott Street. The park district has pursued a plan to improve safety conditions at the site. The plan includes regrading the hill, the removal of an abandoned concrete reservoir tank and the construction of a smaller sledding hill for beginners.

Continental Construction, one of seven bidders for the project, submitted the lowest bid of $92,000. Team Reil submitted the next lowest bid—$118,290. The bids were opened on Jan. 27. Park district staff conducted a review and found the Continental Construction had a lack of demonstrated experience for the project. The company reportedly also generated lukewarm references. Team Reil, which constructed a 550-foot sledding hill in Grayslake, reportedly had good references.

The sledding hill improvement project at Ben Allison Park is scheduled to take place from March 1 to April 29.

The park district board will hold its next meeting on Feb. 24.

ELMHURST — The No Frills Fun Run website posts a Margaret Mead quote which sums up the organization’s mission: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

On Sunday, Feb. 28 the 5th annual No Frills Fun Run will donate its proceeds to longtime volunteer and Elmhurst Running Club co-founder Darryl May, who is battling bone marrow cancer. The Run steps off at 8 a.m. from the Prairie Path and York St. Participants are invited to pick their distance and run or walk either a half-marathon or “a half of a half.”

Teams can also share the distance.

Already a cancer survivor for 14 years, May is currently battling multiple myeloma, having undergone three stem cell transplants and facing

other medical issues. Because he still requires extensive care, costs are rising and expenses are increasing for the Boston Marathon finisher and his family.

No Frills co-founders Dawn Wheatland and Kristin Morrow elected to donate 100 percent of the profits to the Mays.

“Kristin and I both love to run and thought we could raise money for those in need while doing something we love to do,” said Wheatland. “We are fortunate enough to have our health, and we have seen how generous the [Elmhurst] community is and helps make the No Frills Fun Run a success year after year. The Mays are more than deserving.”

Darryl and his wife Susan are 27-year residents of Elmhurst with an extensive volunteer background including many District 205 programs, P.A.D.S. and Scouting. They also cofounded the Elmhurst Running Club.

The Mays and their three children all share a passion for running and were

honored to be the beneficiaries of this year’s event.

“We are so grateful to be part of the No Frills Fun Run this year and thank everyone in advance for their commitment to the event,” said Susan.

“We are truly grateful for the love and support, and the No Frills Fun Run provides encouragement and hope.”

To register and for more information, visit nofrillsfunrun.org. A suggested registration donation is $100 per runner or $75 per runner for teams of 10 or more. Registration includes an HB Jones After-Party starting at 10:15 a.m. with raffles, silent auctions, food, drinks, and live entertainment for the whole family.

This class is being held from 2:303:30 p.m. The fee is $39 for Abbey members and $44 for non-members.

ELMHURST — Two teams of high school students who attend York High School recently concluded an exceptional round of competition in the seventh season of CyberPatriot – the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition.

Led by Coach Dean Jensen from Elmhurst College, participating York students were: William Brigham, Alaina Bottens, Paul Campbell, Stephon Des Jardins, Quinn Karpman,

Evan Mills, Brandon Musgrave, Amelia O’Halloran, Michael Speers, Brian Strauch and Alex Swinford.

The team’s performance in the CyberPatriot VIII State Round held January 31, earned it the first and second place awards at State as well as a spot in the Platinum Tier Regional Round to be held February 21.

The Cyber Team would like to thank Dean Jensen, Director of Infrastructure and Web

Applications, as well as Elmhurst College for providing technical mentorship along with space and support.

While these teams are comprised of York students, the Elmhurst Computer Club is not a York-sponsored club and students who live in Elmhurst or attend any Elmhurst schools are invited to join. For more information, send an email to Lisa@ohalloranmail.com or visit uscyberpatriot.org.

York to celebrate Fine Arts Week Feb. 22-26 ELMHURST — York Community High School will be celebrating its annual Fine Arts Week during the week of February 22-26, 2016. For more than 30 years, Fine Arts Week has recognized the talents of York’s student musicians, dancers, actors, visual artists, singers, orators, poets, and unique performance artists.

In addition, several nationally- and locally-recognized artists and groups representing a wide variety of artistic endeavors host workshops that provide information and inspiration to the students.

This year, York welcomes legendary musician and record producer Steve Albini as one of its featured artists.

Also featured will be the Chicago rock band, Twin Peaks, who will perform a live set in York’s auditorium on Wed. Feb. 24. Also featured will be Blood Red Boots, a local band comprised of a few York grads. Other professional artists invited are Sandip Burman,

and Indian Classical Musician and Whitaker Trebella, a video game designer and composer.

One of the more popular attractions of Fine Arts Week are the student Talent Shows, performed in three 50-minute segments. The Talent Show culminates with an evening performance open to the public on Thursday, February 25 at 7 p.m. in the York Auditorium.

Revenue from ticket sales provides funding for the following year’s Fine Arts Week. Additional funds are raised through community concerts and grant writing.

Special event planned at Fitz’s Spare Keys On Tuesday, Feb. 23 at 7 p.m., the Fine Arts Week committee will host a special off-campus concert at Fitz’s Spare Keys in downtown Elmhurst. It will include the soulful blues-rock of York student group, They Found Us, the “stubborn American rock” of The Rented Mules (comprised of three York teachers), and the

headliners, Blood Red Boots.

A suggested donation of $5 will be accepted at the door.

Countless hours of planning and coordination make the week run smoothly. Faculty coordinator, Chris Gemkow, along with a dedicated student committee, have been working since early September to recruit outside talent, design original artwork for posters and t-shirts, and schedule the logistics for a week’s worth of presentations and entertainment.

“Fine Arts Week gives York’s students a chance to express their creativity and artistic abilities in ways rarely offered in most classrooms,” said faculty advisor Chris Gemkow. “One of the best things … is that the events are largely planned, promoted, performed, and directed by the students. The entire student body benefits from the student and professional performances scheduled throughout the week.”

IC Catholic Prep boys basketball team defeats Fenton Ramirez, sophomore Amari Reed play well in recent games

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The IC Catholic Prep boys’ basketball team did not have a favorable result against Fenton earlier in the season.

In the rematch at home in Elmhurst, the Knights turned the tables to the tune of a 70-32 Metro Suburban Conference West Division victory.

“After we lost a close game to Riverside-Brookfield where I thought we played one of our best games of the season, I was hoping it would carry over against Fenton and it did,” said IC Catholic Prep coach TJ Tyrrell. “We had lost to Fenton on the road and didn’t have much energy. This was the total opposite. The kids came out aggressively on offense and defense.”

Fenton led 36-6 at one point and 50-12 at halftime.

“We started strong on the defensive end and hit some shots,” said Tyrrell. “We had some great looks. Everybody contributed.”

Angel Ramirez scored 14 points for the Knights.

“Angel had his best game of the season,” said Tyrrell. “He was the catalyst in starting our offense against Fenton. He’s a smart defensive player who brings energy to the defensive end. He’s a good slasher to the basket and he can knock down the spot-up 3-pointer. He drives to the basket and finishes or gets a kick out and hits a three. That’s what we’re looking for.”

Will Lyles had a dunk in the game and Austin Reed was cited for strong shooting against Fenton.

Tyrrell also lauded the play of Garrett Cheng who went into the starting lineup in games against R-B and Fenton.

“Those were his first starts,” said Tyrrell. “Garrett brings added fluidity to our efforts on offense and defense. He has a high basketball IQ. He doesn’t fill

up the stat sheet with points, but he does the little things the team needs like rebounding and getting to the help line and making the smart decisions with his passes.”

IC Catholic Prep also lost 51-49 to Wheaton Academy in MSC West play. The Knights missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer as time wound down.

“We were on the road and Wheaton Academy is a tough place to play,” said Tyrrell. “We had a bit of a slow start and were able to claw our way back.”

Tyrrell was thrilled with the play of sophomore Amari Reed.

“Amari stepped in when Will Lyles got hurt and he was a catalyst for us who helped bring us back in the game,” the coach said.

Matt Sutton also continued his string of strong play. “Matt Sutton is playing extremely well,” said Tyrrell. “He shoots the 3-ball very well. He has confidence and is a guy who works his butt off on offense and defense. He’s a guy who brings great energy off the bench. I’m proud of his efforts.”

IC Catholic Prep was 12-12 overall and have three wins in MSC West play through late last week.

The Knights recently learned they are in a Class 2A regional with Aurora Christian, Lisle, Westmont, Timothy Christian and Elgin St. Edward.

“It’s a winnable regional but it’s going to be competitive,” said Tyrrell. “Any team can come out of there. I was really surprised where Timothy and St. Ed’s were ranked. I also was surprised to see Aurora Christian seeded first in the sub-sectional and then the four, five, six and seven seeds also coming into the regional.

Ed’s and Timothy are six and seven seeds and both teams are very competitive. We’ll play Lisle or Westmont first and we lost to Lisle in three overtimes earlier in the year.”

IC Catholic Prep enjoyed senior night earlier this week against Glenbard South. The Knights play in Aurora Friday against Aurora Central Catholic.

Concentration is key

York competitive cheerleading team places fourth in the state Dukes record back-toback perfect routines in Bloomington

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The York competitive cheerleading team is no stranger to success at the IHSA state finals.

In recent years the Dukes took 23rd in the state (in 2014 in the large-school division) and 11th in 2015 in the same large-school division.

This year, York took things to a whole new

level by placing fourth in the state in the co-ed division at the recent state finals in Bloomington. It was York’s highest-finish ever in the state finals.

“It’s the dedication this team had to get better,” said York coach Dena Poulos. “That made them the strongest team York has had yet.”

York senior captain Marina Johnson had a feeling York was in for a special season.

“We all knew we could go really far this year,” she said. “We pushed each other to the

The York competitive cheerleading team recently placed fourth in the state in the co-ed division. It was York’s highest state finish ever. The Dukes were making their third state finals trip in a row. The Dukes recorded back-to-back perfect routines during the IHSA co-ed state finals in Bloomington.

• CHEERLEADING Continued from page 28

limits because we knew we had the talent.”

Fellow senior captain Madison Hoffmann said success also boiled down to the time the team put into perfecting its routine.

“It definitely was our work ethic,” she said. “We were all super-motivated coming back from last year. We pushed ourselves and got better and it made a big difference.”

York’s competition squad had eight seniors on it, as well as nine juniors. “We did have a lot of experience,” said Poulos. “All the kids stepped up at the beginning of the season and that is what helped make it a successful end of the season.”

Hoffmann added: “We had a lot of seniors on the team. It was really easy to get everybody motivated.”

Poulos said the team changed its competition routine midway through the season. “We

changed the tumbling section and that helped us score higher,” she said. “We showcased a lot of elite tumbling passes.

The strength of our routine this year was our pyramid and our tumbling. This year our tumbling was even better. Every cheerleader was advanced in tumbling and that helped our scores. We do have some cheerleaders with gymnastics backgrounds and that’s helpful with the tumbling. Also, tumbling has become a standard of what is expected when the kids come in. It’s raised the bar.”

Johnson enjoyed being able during the routine to interact with the York fans who made the trek south.

“I liked how we had the crowd-led cheer,” she said.

“That gets the fans involved and we had great support from our fans. I also liked the tumbling and stunts we did.”

Hoffmann said the team’s pyramid typified what was

needed to make the season a success.

“I liked that we got to end it with a pyramid,” she said.

“That’s the one part where everybody has to work together. We talked to each other and got each other pumped up for the routine.”

York moved into the co-ed division because it had two male cheerleaders on the team this year in Matt DeJesus and Kalvin Stevens. “Both of them were excellent for us,” said Poulos.

Poulos also lauded senior captains Hoffmann Johnson and Jasmine Santos.

“They helped lead this team,” she said. “They are very dedicated and have led us by example. Madison has been on varsity all four years.

She started as a freshman and is definitely one of the best athletes on the team.”

Poulos said while the fourth place finish is certainly

impressive, one other statistical element pushed the team’s accomplishment even further over the top.

“I’m so proud of our team because of the fact cheerleading is tough,” she said.

“Everything you do is based on one routine and that routine is three minutes long.

You have everything riding on those three minutes. There is a lot of pressure. Our girls had two perfect routines at the state meet, which means they had no deductions, which is pretty rare. That speaks highly of our kids. They were ready for the performances and they were confident. They turned in their two best performances back to back. You can’t control what the judges write down on a score sheet or what other teams do, but they controlled their own performance and did what they could to have the best performance possible.”

Throwing perfect routines

also was not lost on Hoffmann.

“Doing that is almost unheard of,” she said. “We showed a lot at state. To be able to do what we did backto-back is a huge deal for us.”

Johnson was proud of how the team “made history.”

“We improved a lot during the course of the season,” she said. “We pushed ourselves.

This means a lot because it was our senior year for a lot of us. We made history again and did something some people didn’t think we could do.

We supported each other and leaned on each other and had confidence in ourselves that we could do this.”

Hoffmann said the York program has come a long way since her freshman year.

“Freshman year we didn’t make it past sectionals,” she noted. “This is great. I am so happy and I’m so happy I was able to do this with all my teammates.”

Earlier, York lost 56-50 in overtime to Batavia and 69-41 to Benet Academy. Both were non-conference games.

The Willowbrook victory put York at 15-14 overall heading into the Class 4A postseason, which started earlier this week.

“Even though we lost to Batavia, which is one of the top four seeds in our sectional, our girls know they can play with teams of that caliber,” said York coach John Constable. “I like our competitiveness right now and our execution on offense and defense. That bodes well for us in the regional.”

On offense, Constable has seen his team up its shooting percentage, particularly from the outside.

“Our perimeter shooting has come alive a lot,” the coach

said. “A number of girls are shooting well especially from the 3-point line.”

Of late, the Dukes have been bolstered by the play of Kaylin Kenny and the return of veteran Kelly Polte.

“Kaylin Kenny is a senior guard who has come on strong,” said Constable. “She is doing a lot of things well, particularly in shooting the ball, handling the ball and running the pointguard position when we run into some stumbling blocks.

“Kelly Polte also has come on strong. She’s come back the last few weeks and has shot the ball well and is an inside threat.

She plays the center position and has shown the ability to step out to the 3-point line and knock down threes and stretch the defense out. That’s been a big plus for us with opening up the dribble-drive for a couple players to get to the rim.”

York finished the West Suburban Conference Silver Division season with a 5-7 record.

Ellen Foley recently earned all-WSC Silver honors.

“Ellen is another one of those players who has been shooting the ball extremely well,” said Constable. “Hopefully that continues. She’s been our leading scorer of late.”

In the triumph over Willowbrook, Polte had 13 points and shot 4-for-7 from the 3-point line. Caylin Rufus added seven

points and two blocks. Kenny also had seven points. Foley hit two 3-pointers for six points.

Freshman Kathleen Levins finished with six points.

York made eight 3-pointers in the game.

Danielle Dennis added four rebounds and two blocks, while Kristen Viola blocked four shots.

Helton won his first match 3-2 and then won his semifinal contest 1-0 and downed Glenbard West’s Darien Kaufmann 1-0 to win the sectional title.

York’s Brian Nudera went 2-2 at 195 pounds. Nudera lost his opener by fall in 4:20 and then won a pair of back-draw matches via pin in 59 seconds and another pin in 3:28. He lost his fourth match 5-4.

Austin Hoffmann went 1-2 at 138 pounds. He won his opener 7-2 and then lost via fall in 3:17 and via a 14-9 decision in the back draw.

IC Catholic Prep wrestling IC Catholic Prep’s Joe Bianchini is headed to the Class 1A state finals after winning the Class 1A Plano sectional title at 106 pounds.

Bianchini won his first match 8-2 and then won the sectional title via pinfall in 1:32.

Brenden O’Brien went 2-2 for the Knights at 145. He won his first match via fall in 1:23 and then lost in 57 seconds via fall. O’Brien came back to win his third match via a pin in 1:50 and then dropped a 7-0 decision and was eliminated.

Pat Guinan also went 2-2. He lost his opener in 2:50 and then came back to score pins in 1:35 and 1:38. He was eliminated after a technical fall loss in 5:09.

Anthony Silva went 0-2 at the Plano sectional at 160 pounds.

York boys basketball The York boys basketball team dropped a recent 62-47 West Suburban Conference Silver Division game to Glenbard West.

York trailed 10-6 after the first quarter and 24-15 at halftime. York outscored Glenbard West 16-11 in the third quarter, but the Hilltoppers held a 27-16 edge in the fourth quarter.

Patrick Grabowski led the Dukes with 15 points on the strength of 7-for-12 shooting from the field. Jack Morrissey had 11 points and two steals.

Ryan Camp had eight points, three assists and two steals, while Nick Kosich had seven points. York shot 14-for-16 from the free-throw line.

some solid defense early, but they made a good push on us in the second half. It turned into a back-and-forth game and we hit some free throws down the stretch.”

The Trojans also dropped a recent 54-51 Metro Suburban Conference East Division game to Elmwood Park.

Davidson paced the Trojans with 22 points and eight rebounds. Lodewyk added 11 points, while Trayvon Williams had five points, four rebounds and two steals.

“We got behind early,” said LeGrand, of the team’s 28-22 halftime deficit. “We fought our way back and had a chance to tie the game and came up short. We were a little flat early and Elmwood Park played a pretty solid game. They hit a lot of 3s. It was a good conference game at their place. We didn’t come up with the stops and the execution when we needed it.”

The split put Timothy at 9-14 overall and 5-4 in MSC East play.

Timothy recently found out it will play in the Class 2A Aurora Christian regional with the likes of Aurora Christian, St. Edward, IC Catholic Prep, Westmont and Lisle.

“Five of the top eight seeds got sent to our regional,” LeGrand noted. “It’s a crowded regional with a lot of local flavor. People know each other well. It’s going to be a competitive regional.”

LeGrand is looking forward to competing in the home stretch of the schedule. “We are still trying to get that consistency,” he said.

“We are one of those teams that at times played very good and at times we struggle shooting a little bit. When we get momentum going, we play very well. Our effort is there and we’re working on the consistency. This is a fun time of the season. It’s the last couple of weeks. We’re excited to see what we can do here.”

ELMHURST — The Timothy Christian boys basketball team made the most of a trip south.

The Trojans recently traveled to Peoria and came away with a 54-53 non-conference win against Peoria Christian.

“It was a good game and it was fun to take a trip like that,” said Timothy coach Jack LeGrand.

The guys got off to a nice start and played well. In the second half, Peoria Christian made a comeback on us. They have an all-state guard who is pretty tough and made some good shots.”

Joey Davidson led the Trojans with 17 points. Ben Lodewyk added 11 points. Jonny Strube finished with 10 points, while Mitch Evenhouse had eight points.

“We had very good balance,” said LeGrand. “We played a nice team game all the way around on offense and defense. We played

Timothy Christian competitive cheerleading team places seventh at state ELMHURST — The Timothy Christian competitive cheerleading team added to its recent string of success this

decade by placing seventh at the IHSA state finals competition in Bloomington.

Timothy competed in the small-school division. The Trojans finished runner-up in the state in the small-school

division in the 2010 and 2012 seasons.

“We had a lot of experience coming back from last year,” said Timothy Christian coach Aaron Armstrong. “Last year it was a younger team and over

TC girls basketball team wins opening-round playoff game Miller, Zeilstra advance in state 3-point shooting competition

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The Timothy Christian girls basketball team recently split a pair of postseason regional games.

The Trojans opened Class 2A Chicago Christ the King regional play with a 67-13 win over Chicago Manley. Timothy then dropped a 49-28 decision to Christ the King in the regional championship game.

“Against Chicago Manley our young kids did awesome,” said Timothy coach Michele Strube.

“Our post players also did very well. Everybody scored in the game. It was a fun game.”

In the Manley game, Timothy pulled in 60 rebounds, shot 62 percent from the field and had 34 assists.

“It was a fun game,” said Strube. “We made a lot of inside baskets.”

Strube said the regional championship game presented many challenges for her team. “Christ the King was very athletic and they had a 6-2 girl who rebounded and blocked shots well,” she said. “They had fantastic guards who were very fast.”

Timothy trailed 9-6 after the first quarter and was down by five at halftime.

“We played a great first half,” she said. “Our 3-2 zone was working and we scored 18 points in the first half. Christ the King went to a four

corners stall at the beginning of the third quarter.

They put their guards in the corners and then we went to a man defense and that’s what the difference was. They also pressed us every minute of the game. Our girls worked very hard, but we didn’t score anything in the third quarter. I was thrilled and proud of how our girls worked.

They gave all they had but we couldn’t stay with them.”

Strube noted sophomore Olivia Schuringa and freshman Jordyn Strube, both up from the JV team for the playoffs, competed well in the regional.

“Olivia and Jordyn both did fantastic against Manley,” said Strube. “Olivia is a 6-foot center and she did well against Christ the King. She will be a fun player to watch and will be very helpful next year. She had six points in the first half against Christ the King and had a nice inside game.”

Timothy closed the year 13-15 overall and took third in the Metro Suburban Conference East Division with an 8-4 record.

“We hated the season to end,” said Strube.

“We had a great group that was so much fun.

They got so much better and that’s what you hope to see as a coach. They became more confident in themselves.”

Grace Miller and Allison Zeilstra advanced to the next round of the state 3-point shooting contest at Willows Academy this week. Miller made 10 of 15 shots in the regional final to take first place.

“Grace was fantastic,” said Strube. “Allison finished fourth and also shot well.”

the course of the year the girls grew up. We had strong leaders on the team who led the team and were a strong part of the program. The experience we had was very helpful.”

Armstrong said Timothy’s routine this year required plenty of focus and teamwork.

“It was a very fun routine for the girls,” he said. “We focused a lot on precision and synchronization. Those have been some of the biggest factors for us. We’ve always been one of the more sharp teams. We always make sure everything is in place and we always knew we could get better and better each competition we were in.”

Junior Heather Kocol was equally pleased with how the routine played out in front of the crowd in Bloomington.

“I loved all of it,” she said of the team’s routine. “The dancing was so much fun. That was everybody’s favorite part. My tumbling pass was a lot of fun.

I got my full this year and that was very exciting.”

Kocol also lauded the team’s pyramid performance. Kocol and junior Alyse Schnurr were the bases, while sophomore Emily Kiefer was the backspotter and sophomore Avy Truax was the flyer.

“We had such a solid pyramid,” Kocol said. “Avy did a great job flying, Emily was great spotting and we had a great time basing it.”

Earlier in the season the Trojans won the Metro Suburban Conference title. The Trojans

had been without a conference title the last two seasons which followed a run of three league titles in a row.

“It was an exciting year for the kids,” said Armstrong. “We also took first in two competitions. It was a very successful season. This team bonded very well. They did a lot of things outside of practice. They all cared about each other and had great camaraderie. They bonded and helped each other and grew as a team the whole year.”

Kocol added: “We bonded very well as a team. This is the closest team I’ve been on since I’ve been here. It’s like a second family and that bond helped us a lot.”

Team members included seniors Montanna Williams and Kyler Northern, juniors Alyse Schnurr, Kocol and Samantha Leidi, along with sophomores Emily Kiefer, Avy Truax, Madde Schaafsma, Taylor Ryan, Val Hoekstra, and freshmen Shayne Casini, Angelina Nesti, Taylor Troutman, Jada Brown and Faith Webb.

“What we did this year is a big deal. It was a great experience and it was very humbling,” said Kocol. “Freshman year we took 11th in the state and then last year we were dead-last at 25th. We were motivated this year to show what we were made of and to glorify God in our performance. I’m so happy with our performance. I can’t wait for us to get back there next year and take it on. This team is ready.”

Elmhurst Art Museum welcomes David Wallace Haskins ELMHURST — The Elmhurst Art Museum is hosting David Wallace Haskins: Presence, the first solo exhibition for this Chicago-area multimedia artist, featuring the debut of seven new site-specific installations, from March 5 thru May 8.

Employing light, space, time and sound, these immersive and interactive works aim to challenge visitors’ sense of perception, introducing new ways to physically experience and encounter everyday phenomena.

Remarkable works such as Soundcube (sound sculpture) and Light Seeing

Light (interactive light sculpture) join Haskins’popular Skycube, a three-dimensional installation of the moving sky which is currently installed on the Museum’s outdoor pavilion. Presence is curated by Elmhurst Art Museum Chief Curator and Director of Public Programs Staci Boris.

“I am interested in creating work that leaves visitors with a renewed sense of perception, leading them on a journey of reorientation by way of disorientation into a beholding that transcends language and thought,” Haskins said.
