More time needed to discuss about Opus project

By Dan McLeister For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — In an unusual decision, the Zoning and Planning Commission

(ZPC) moved to extend to the next meeting deliberation on the Opus six-story mixed-use project proposed on the corner of Addison and First Sts., across from the train station.

Commissioners raised questions about a number of issues including the impact of pedestrians on traffic and the placement of retail space.

ZPC Chairman Darrell Whistler stated that overall the project, which features 160

Inside:

luxury units as well as retail space, was “great.”

Currently the Opus site is occupied by a two-story commercial building with bank drive-thru lanes and a parking lot.

Whistler said any project like the Opus should have all nine commissioners present to express their opinions.

Five commissioners attended the March 10th meeting. A date was not set for the next

meeting until the absent commissioners could be contacted about the best date and time.

“There would be a lot of weight on a vote of nine commissioners,” Commissioner Susan Rose said. “A split vote would make things murkier.”

A recommendation by the ZPC, an advisory body to City Council, will go before the Development, Planning and Zoning (DPZ) Committee of three aldermen. Their report

goes to the full City Council, which has the final vote.

Scott Day, the Opus attorney from Naperville, indicated that some changes could be made. More windows could be added to the exterior

Various types of residential units mentioned for Downtown Plan Zoning Group hopes housing will attract millennials, others

By Dan McLeister For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — The Downtown Plan should have residential units which will attract single people in the millennials demographic segment, so they can get a foothold in the housing market in Elmhurst and move later into other types of housing, according to Susan Rose, a member of the Zoning and Planning Commission (ZPC).

“This is the future we want,” she stated at a meeting on March 10, which included deliberations on the Downtown Plan after an earlier public hearing.

Darrell Whistler, chairman of the ZPC, said it could take up to four weeks to get a final draft on the agenda of the Development Planning and Zoning (DPZ) Committee, a group of three aldermen who will make a report to the full City Council, which has the final vote.

Since there were only five ZPC members present, Whistler said he hoped to have all nine mem-

bers at their next meeting.

“I did not see any problems that screamed out,” Commissioner Dan Corrado commented.

Comm. Kurt Warnke added: “I agree wholeheartedly. I am excited about the Downtown Plan.”

“I don’t see any information about 20-somethings,” noted Comm. Jordon Uditske.

“They don’t live here yet,” Warnke replied.

Talking about another segment of young people, Uditske, who is in the real estate business, said he had a client who was considering downtown student housing with a lease signed by Elmhurst College.

Nick Davis, a consultant for the City, talked about larger townhouses and single-family housing, another segment of the residential market.

The 146-page Plan by Housel Levigne also discusses many other topics such as varying building heights throughout the downtown.

As Yorkfield Presbyterian Church Pastor Mike Toburen looks on (left), Nancy Peterson, a Board member with the Yorkfield Food Pantry, presents a small gift to Jim Ruprecht, who had a great deal to do with rebuilding the pantry. He not only served as the architect for the project, but also matched funds raised through his Thing 1.2.3. Foundation. Full story elsewhere in this issue.

Continued from page 1 or more retail could be placed within the building’s existing footprint. But to start all over would be questionable, Day said.

Comm. Dan Corrado stated that his only hang-up was the amount and placement of retail on the first floor.

Comm. Jordon Uditsky said his biggest concern was the amount of retail space on Addison St. He was also concerned about the number of cars coming out of the alley.

“Something needs to be done like flashing lights or people could get killed.”

Bike Club funds purchase of bicycles for six disabled children

By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

I

t was a delightful evening for the members of the Elmhurst Bicycle Club on Thursday, March 10, who were on-hand to witness the excitement of six children with disabilities as they each received a bicycle from the Club. The Bike Club raised

$6500, matched by Project Mobility, which allowed for the purchase of the bicycles.

“It was so cool to watch,” said Club member Kim Messina, who met with the Independent following the event. “One little boy got on his bicycle and just started riding around and around and around in a circle, happy as he could be.

It was so wonderful to see the

smiles on those kids’ faces.”

“We were humbled by their courage and g​ race,” said George Pastorino, president of the Elmhurst Bike Club. “Our members … had the experience of a lifetime that will never be forgotten.”

“It was just such a wonderful thing to be able to do,” Messina added. “It’s nice to know that we may have made their lives better.”

Pastorino offered a more

philosophical message.

“My message is this,” he said. “Let’s think less about how fast we can ride from here to there, how many miles we pedal, or how steep of a hill we can climb, and focus on having a positive effect on our community. Because only when we touch the lives of those in need will our legacy be remembered, long after the miles and such are long forgotten.”

Yorkfield Food Pantry hosts VIP reception for donors Beyond nutrition, dignity provides food for the soul

By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — There was an overcast sky on Tuesday, March 8, but smiles were beaming brightly inside the Elmhurst Yorkfield Food Pantry’s newly-built facility, where Board members welcomed about 100 guests to a VIP Reception exclusive to the benefactors for the first official viewing of its fullycompleted incarnation.

You’ve come a long way, baby.

The food pantry began in a closet in the basement of Yorkfield Presbyterian Church, where two senior citizens came in every week to load up the grocery bags. When the pantry was moved to the small house on church property, it seemed like a mansion by comparison. But there was no indoor area where people could pick up their items, they just pulled up in their car.

This is no longer the case.

Considerably larger than that original closet, the new

facility has a spacious intake area where people check in when they arrive – no waiting in the car, no more volunteers running in the rain. Clients are given a card and a cart to

walk around the pantry store, choosing items. Whenever there is a surplus, the items are made available for clients to help themselves. While the first facility didn’t even have a

refrigerator, today’s EYFP has refrigeration cases from which to choose, just like a grocery store.

It’s all about dignity. Relying on a food pantry can bring

Dog flu cancels Pet Parade again Still a concern, spring break will tell the tale, Dr. DeVries says

By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — When the news broke at the Elmhurst St. Patrick’s Day Parade, it was hard to believe the Spring Road Pet Parade might be cancelled again for the second year. The parade is put on annually by the Spring Road Business Association, where John DeVries, DVM, serves on the Board of Directors.

The owner and principal veterinarian of DeVries Animal Hospital, located on Spring Road, directs the Pet Parade each year and ultimately made the decision to cancel this year’s event.

“There is still some concern about the dog influenza and we didn’t want to take any chances,” Dr. DeVries told the Independent in an exclusive interview. “I think spring break will be the tell-all because [an outbreak] seems to happen when dogs are

confined in an indoor facility while people are on vacation.”

He hastens to explain.

“It’s not the fault of the boarding kennel or the people dropping off their dogs,” he assured. “This virus is just so very contagious and any time animals are confined in an indoor facility, things can spread.

Plus once a dog is infected, the symptoms do not show for at least two days, so people may bring their dog around others, not realizing how contagious they are.”

DeVries said there was a lot of discussion about the influenza at a national conference he just attended.

“Yes, it’s still a concern,” he said.

“We’ve seen about 40 cases [at DeVries Animal Hospital] over the past year since it started. We haven’t lost any dogs, but they are sick.

Those poor dogs get really sick, it’s sad.”

The Pet Parade typically uses the parking lot of Ahlgrim Funeral Home at Spring and Vallette as a staging area. Even though it’s outdoors, DeVries said with all those dogs in that small area, there is close contact among them.

The good news? Dr. DeVries said there is a new vaccine available that he highly recommends to dog owners.

“Some kennels are starting to require it,” he said. “The vaccination costs less than $40 which is a small price compared to the cost of the antibiotics, they can run into hundreds of dollars to treat a sick dog. Many people really can’t afford to put that much into their pet.”

Then the veterinarian shared an interesting note.

“You know, Chicago is the epicenter, it’s where it all started,” he said. “A dog came through O’Hare Airport about a year ago. It sounds terrible, but the canine may have been healthy or appeared so when he arrived.

“When you bring in a new virus, it doesn’t take much for a dog to become infected.”

Dr. DeVries hopes that the Pet Parade will be back next year, as usual on the first Saturday in May. He said he was planning a few extra attractions to the 2017 event.

Hope everybody and his dog will be there.

its own blow to one’s dignity. It’s more comfortable for clients to be able to walk around and choose items from shelves. It feels more respectable than driving up and being handed a few grocery bags.

In the back of EYFP, there is a garage door where cars and trucks can pull up to drop off deliveries right by the storage area. Next to it is a convenience drop-box, available 24 hours a day, for those wishing to contribute food items or financial donations. In the past, the Pantry could only accept donations on certain days and times.

Board president Jacki Lawrence and Board member Nancy Peterson both spoke at the event, thanking everyone for their involvement and support. Jim Ruprecht received special honors at the reception, since he had not only served as the project’s architect, but also had increased the amount of funds raised by matching donations via his own “Thing 1.2.3. Foundation.”

In addition to viewing all the new shelving and equipment, guests were also treated to a lesson in how to make Thai Peanut Salad, something easily created from peanut butter and other items at the food pantry. Recipes are made available to clients.

Elmhurst police to add extra patrols for St. Patrick’s Day festivities ELMHURST — The Elmhurst Police Department continues to take part in a year-long grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes with additional enforcement of DUI and seatbelt laws.

The next campaign began Wednesday, March 9 and will continue through March 20. They will take place during all hours, however the focus will be from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., which is reportedly the deadliest time frame on Illinois roadways.

In addition, a Roadside Safety Check will take place on a major roadway in Elmhurst on Saturday, March 19 from 11:30 p.m. thru Sunday March 20 at 3:30 a.m.

Motorists are encouraged to drive safely and to buckle up. If they are planning on drinking during any St. Patrick’s Day festivities, they should make alternate driving arrangements.

People are also encouraged to contact police if they see a vehicle that appears to be driven by an intoxicated driver.

March 3 Xavyer Gardiner, 24, of Berwyn, was issued a citation for trespassing at a local recreational facility in the 200 block of W. First St. at around 12:52 p.m. Police said an employee at the facility reported that Gardiner had violated a notrespass order.

Daylight saving – nighttime snoozing S pring forward; fall back. Twice each year we reset the clocks. In the fall, I relish the extra hour of sleep I think I get because 6:00 a.m. is really 7:00 a.m.

– or it feels that way for a couple days at least.

But you know what they say. There’s no such thing as a free lunch or free extra hour of sleep. Come spring, it’s time to pay the piper and relinquish an hour. Suddenly 7:00 a.m. feels like 6:00 a.m.

– for at least a couple days.

Why do we do this to our-

selves? (Good folks in Arizona and Hawaii, please ignore the question, since you are smart enough to set your clocks and leave them be.)

Daylight saving time. Just what are we saving and when do we save it ­­– when we fall back or spring ahead?

I’ve always been told the practice has to do with farmers. Make hay while the sun shines, and all that jazz. I was misinformed. According to Wiki: “Historically, retailing, sports and tourism interests have favored daylight saving,

while agricultural and evening entertainment interests have opposed it.” If farmers didn’t invent daylight saving time, who did?

Some credit the creation of the phenomenon to Benjamin Franklin, who suggested getting up at sunrise and going to bed at sunset would help save candles. “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”

Although Mr. Franklin was a practical man and in favor of saving candles, he is not the father of daylight saving

Letters to the Editor Don’t form GLCs, citizen pleads to District 205 At the March 8th Elmhurst School Board meeting, Focus 205 sessions were discussed, as was a perceived community concern regarding more balanced class sizes. At one point, Vice President Jim Collins referenced how the possibility of grade-level centers (GLCs) had been addressed but wasn’t warmly received by the community. In response, Dr. David Moyer replied it was “too early to rule any ideas out.”

Though GLCs may not have been a formal talking point of Focus 205 presentations, several parents recall Dr. Moyer conversing about them (albeit informally) during the sessions. Regardless, the topic of GLCs is not--nor will it ever be--embraced by anyone who grasps the priorities of a district that already embodies a wellknown standard of excellence.

From a fiscal/time-management standpoint, how would GLCs impact the cost and length of student travel? What would bussing look like? If a parent has to be doing pickup at one center, is it pragmatic to expect them to (sanely) do pickup from multiple others, as well?

From a volunteer standpoint, how would GLCs impact parental involvement? Inevitably,

parents of more than one child will be expected to race across a broader range of locations.

Many will endeavor to rise to the challenge. But many will also be stretched thin attempting to self-divide between class parties and PTA meetings held at multiple facilities.

From a social-emotional standpoint, how would GLCs impact a student’s ability to cope with excessive transitions? Wasn’t this the very same notion we were concerned about when it came to relocating 18 multi-needs children from Field to Emerson? Also, what will interaction look like-or will it even exist--between different age groups? Part of what I love at Edison is that my younger kids have a chance to learn from older peers (some of whom are their own siblings).

The reverse is true, too. These are lessons that can’t necessarily be duplicated at home because home is a totally different learning environment.

From a real-estate standpoint, how would GLCs impact the idea of neighborhood schools?

People move to specific neighborhoods in this town for access to specific schools. Take that away, and we would be foolish not to anticipate an interesting discussion about real-estate trends and property values.

We repeatedly hear how the situation in Springfield will force us to make difficult choices, though one could argue that our district appears to be fiscal-

ly sound. Either way, there are certain choices we are unwilling to contemplate, including those that would strip us of those qualities that we, as stakeholders, cherish. Yes, there are facets of 205 that could use a makeover, and we are always willing to self-reflect and strive toward improvement. But we are not willing to consider--and nor are we in need of--fullbody plastic surgery in the form of GLCs or any other idea that would detract from what is truly an already exceptional community.

Reader agrees Elmhurst is turning into ‘Oak Park East’ As a refugee from Oak Park East, I appreciated the letter from James Sanchez. The Hahn St. development is allowing many more residents. It is assumed that with the new garage, the city has allowed for additional parking for them. It is the traffic that concerns me.

Oak Park E. became overly congested with cars. If something is not done here, a lot of our streets will be like York, St. Charles and North Ave. at 5 p.m.

time.

That honor goes to a guy in New Zealand named George Hudson. He proposed modern daylight saving time in the 1800s because he was interested in having more daylight after work to pursue his hobby of collecting bugs.

Creepy, but true. An Englishman, William Willett, came up with the same idea a few years later because the setting sun was cutting into his evening round of golf. Bogey to that.

Golf and insect-collecting may have been fine and good reasons to spring ahead, but the idea didn’t catch on here until there was an even bigger rationale for widespread implementation: war. During World War I, The U.S., Russia and many European countries implemented daylight saving time as a way to conserve coal. (Similar to Ben Franklin’s idea, but without the candles.)

The war ended and so did daylight saving time in most places. There was no federal law regulating the practice, which caused confusion between times zones and espe-

cially with the transportation industry. Apparently people kept missing their trains. So, in 1967 a federal law resurrected widespread daylight saving time. Individual states could follow certain rules to opt out, but most were all in – where they remain today.

In addition to keeping people from missing their plane or train, daylight saving time saves energy because people naturally sleep later the morning and stay up to all hours of the night (burning more proverbial candles as they do). If the sun is shining later in the day, less energy is needed to light the streets and heat our homes. A 2008 report that undoubtedly required the time and energy of a number of U.S. Department of Energy employees reported a nationwide electricity savings of about 0.03 percent during daylight saving time. Electrifying results for sure.

There you have it: palpable evidence that daylight saving time benefits us. I only wonder why we switch back and forth. If setting our clocks ahead is a good thing, maybe we should just stick with it and save on energy ourselves.

You know, the energy it takes to reset the clocks twice a year. I’ll light a candle to that.

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 March 9 at the district’s administrative building at 375 W. First Street.

Commissioner Doug Ennis was absent from the meeting.

There were no comments from the public.

Update on IGA discussed

about $6,000. That onsite training will reportedly take place during early April. The district recently published a request for proposal (RFP) to seek the services of a consultant who would review the online registration process. Rogers said the district wants to have that consultant in place when Vermont Systems begins its onsite training on April 4.

Rogers said the district is seeking a consultant who will work with park district staff to identify the root cause of the online registration software’s performance issues and test the system to make sure it works correctly. He also stated that Vermont Systems’s software system was launched too soon and not ready when the district’s spring/summer registration began on Feb. 20.

districts and special recreation associations. PDRMA was formed in 1984 with 25 inaugural members, including the Elmhurst Park District. As the presentation noted, those 25 public entities pooled together their own money to create their own insurance company.

The presentation noted that the district is planning on making plumbing and storm water improvements at Courts Plus in 2016. Additionally, the district will have an engineer examine if there are practical measures the district can take to reduce or eliminate flooding issues at Sugar Creek Golf Course.

new town-home unit, and $900 for each new multi-family unit.

Rogers said the ongoing Nitti development at the former Elmhurst Memorial Hospital site generates a special contribution of $1,700 per unit. He said the Nitti development will feature 56 single-family homes, which will generate a contribution of $95,000 to the district. The district has already received about $25,000 of that amount, Rogers said. Other developments that will impact the district include the Hahn Street project, which will feature 192 multi-family units. At $900 per unit, that development will generate about $173,000 for the district under the city’s subdivision ordinance. The Plass Appliance building redevelopment, which calls for a projected five multifamily units on the 100 block of North York Street, would generate $4,500 for the district.

A proposed redevelopment at 100 N. Addison Ave. calls for

Still ironing out registration software

The March 9 park district board meeting included an update on the district’s registration software system, which failed to perform at an acceptable speed during the first day of spring/summer registration on Feb. 20. While more than 800 households were able to complete as many as 3,500 registrations that day, generating about $200,000 in revenue for the park district, Rogers described the registration process as unacceptably slow.

The district is working with its registration software vendor—Vermont Systems Inc.— to improve the process.

Rogers said the company has offered a week of onsite training at no charge to the district—a reported value of

Enhancing the health of your family SLIPPING AWAY

Many people are quite familiar with the condition “slipped disc,” which is the popular label used to refer to a herniation (bulge) or tear in the cartilage cushions between vertebrae. However, most individuals may not be so well acquainted with the term “spondylolisthesis,” which is the slippage of one vertebra forward over the bone before it. This slippage, which most often occurs in the lower spine (the lumbosacral area), usually results in pinched nerves and consequent pain as well as numbness and/or weakness in one or both legs. Needless to say, vertebral slippage of this sort lends itself to chiropractic treatment, the primary goal of which is to get misaligned spinal bones back into

168 multi-family units, which would generate about $151,000 for the district.

Rogers noted that there is no restriction on how the park district uses the money collected through the subdivision ordinance. He also said that the Hahn Street project and the proposed redevelopment at 100 N. Addison Ave. may attract residents who don’t have an especially strong demand for park district services. The Nitti development, on the other hand, is expected to attract families with young children.

Those families, he said, will have a greater demand for park district programs and services.

Rogers noted that the recent renovations at East End Park will serve the area of the Nitti development homes. He said the development’s homes are in the $900,000 price range.

The park district board will hold its next meeting on March 23.

Do you suffer from pain? It could be from a slipped disc. A professional diagnosis, the first step to pain relief, is just a call away.

Peter Cairo, long-time resident of Elmhurst and Bloomingdale, passed away on March 4 surrounded by his loved ones at the age of 89.

Peter is survived by his loving wife, Celia (née DiVito) married for 66 years. Proud father of Mary (Jim) Rieber, Carmen (Jean) Cairo, Laura (Gary) Johnson, Diane (Harry) Howarth and Caroline Cairo.

Narcan program saves its 100th victim of overdose WHEATON — Early Thursday morning, a DuPage County sheriff’s deputy gave Narcan® to a 24-year-old man who was overdosing on heroin, the sheriff’s office said. The victim then was taken to the hospital for further medical treatment.

The deputy learned how to administer the drug through

the DuPage Narcan Program, which is part of the county’s multi-tiered effort to combat heroin. The training of individuals to use Narcan started late in 2013, and officers began administering it in 2014.

“Reaching 100 saves in just two years shows that the DNP is making progress against the

heroin epidemic in DuPage County, and that is a credit to the officers on the street using Narcan and the partners supporting DNP,” said County Coroner Richard Jorgensen said in a statement.

According to County Health Department officials, 32 lives were saved in 2014 and 61

were saved last year. So far this year, there have been seven people saved.

“This lifesaving effort will continue, along with recovery assistance to those who have been saved so this cycle of drug abuse is broken,” said Karen Ayala, executive director of the health department.

Narcan, also known as Naloxone, is a non-addictive drug that counteracts the effects of

opiates, including heroin and OxyContin®.

The DuPage Narcan Program was organized in response to an alarming number of DuPage deaths attributed to opiate overdoses, officials said. As part of the program, about 2,560 people -- mostly police officers -- have been trained to administer the inhalant Narcan to people having an overdose, officials said.

Women of Bethel plan annual Spring Tea Jenny Riddle to perform Capital Dames: Women of the Civil War ELMHURST — On Saturday, April 30, at 12:30 p.m. the Women of Bethel, of Bethel United Church of Christ, will hold their Spring Tea in the church’s new Welcome Center, located at 315 E. St. Charles Road in Elmhurst.

The event features a full-tea menu in an elegant setting followed by one of Jenny Riddle’s new one-woman shows, a review, in character, of Cokie Roberts’ book Capital Dames: The Women of the Civil War. Jenny is a dramatic book reviewer who motivates, educates, and entertains audiences with her unique interpretations of best-selling books in which she becomes the characters telling their real-life stories. She invites her audiences to identify with her subjects as they embark on adventures, triumph over adversity, and live out their dreams. At the end of each review, Jenny shares her current “favorite reads.”

A portion of the proceeds from the Spring Tea helps support the Elmhurst Shoe Fund, a Women of Bethel-administered program which so far in the 2015-16 school year has provided more than $3,900 in vouchers to 34 families in Elmhurst schools to purchase footwear for their children.

Tickets, available beginning April 1, are $25 per person and must be purchased in advance. Seating is limited. Tickets for the program only (without tea) are $10 at the door. The program begins at 1:45 p.m. Call 630-834-6254 for ticket availability and information. Spring Tea guests are invited to wear hats and gloves.

Church facilities are fully accessible and parking is available.

Please enter from St. Charles Rd. or from Huntington off Poplar.

The ensemble was enthusiastically received at each school and developed a great rapport with the students, who interacted

Elmhurst farmer offers community sponsored agriculture Bob Vierow offers 60 types of locally-grown veggies

By Jean Lawrence For The Elmhurst Independent

A

s the local food movement continues to gain momentum, Elmhurst residents have the option to receive fresh seasonal vegetables grown and delivered close to home.

Bob Vierow of Elmhurst grew up on a farm in western DuPage County that produced corn, soybeans and wheat.

He studied Agronomy at the University of Wisconsin before earning a business degree at Elmhurst College.

He went on to become an architect until the economic downturn put his firm out of business in 2009.

“When I was in college I

heard about the Community Sponsored Agriculture (CSA) model that was starting out east,” he said. “The idea is that people in the community purchase a share of the farm and pay upfront for the farmer to provide them with vegetables grown throughout the season. It reverses the usual business model for the farmer to get the payment in advance and reduces some risk while allowing people to support small family farms in their area.”

Encouraged by this model and training classes he attended for CSA farmers, in 2010 Bob launched Bob’s

April Vierow greets a cow who lives on a farm in Dundee owned and operated by her dad, Bob Vierow of Elmhurst. The business, called Bob’s Fresh and Local, delivers locally-grown vegetables to shareholders throughout the growing season. Raw milk and eggs are also available.

Following the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model, the farm supplies boxes of seasonal veggies to members who pre-pay for their deliveries.

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

A

nother stellar year is in the books for the York boys basketball

team.

The Dukes closed out the 2015-2016 season at the Class 4A East Aurora sectional.

York defeated West Suburban Conference Silver Division foe Glenbard West in the sectional semifinals by a count of 41-32 and then lost 61-55 to Benet Academy in the sectional championship game.

York was playing in a boys basketball sectional championship game for the first time since the 1981-1982 season.

Benet Academy was the No. 1 seed and Glenbard West was the No. 2 seed.

The Dukes finished the season with a 20-13 record. York has won four Class 4A regional titles in a row since coach Vince Doran took over the program.

York’s Truett headed to Notre Dame Volleyball standout to play for decorated college coach

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — Halle Truett received an offer she couldn’t pass up.

Truett, a four-year varsity girls volleyball player at York, will continue her career at Notre Dame University.

Truett verbally committed to the Fighting Irish in December and will sign her National Letter of Intent in April.

“I went on a recruiting trip there and later went to their camp and learned about the coaches and the program,” she said. “At the time, they still were figuring out what they needed for the 2016 class.”

Truett said the camp she attended was for players who had already committed to Notre Dame or players interested in going there.

“It was three days of triple sessions,” she said. “It was all volleyball. You got a lot of reps and it gave them as much exposure to you as possible. At the same time you get to see if you like the coach’s style and if you can conform to it.”

Truett, a standout libero, said her choices came down to Georgetown and Notre Dame.

“I evaluated my options,” she said.

“In the end, I had to go with Notre Dame. It’s an offer I couldn’t pass up.

It’s such a great program. All the piec-

es fell into place for me. It’s a great opportunity academically and athletically. It’s a great program.”

Notre Dame is now coached by Jim McLaughlin, former women’s coach at the University of Washing-

ton. McLaughlin is the only coach to win NCAA titles at both a men’s and women’s university. He led the USC men to the 1989-1990 NCAA title and directed Washington to the 2005 NCAA women’s championship.

“I like that Jim McLaughlin is the coach,” said Truett. “He’s a great guy and he’s definitely one of the factors in the decision I made. He knows what he’s talking about. I have the opportunity to play for one of the best coaches and teachers in the country. I get to play for him for four years and that gives me the opportunity to get that much better.”

Truett said her evolution into a future college player has come full-circle.

“This means the world to me,” she said. “When I started the whole recruiting process, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to play in college. Now I have such an incredible opportunity here to play for a volleyball program and a school with great academics. It’s the best of both worlds. It’s beyond exciting to be able to be there. Coach McLaughlin is going to do incredible things with the program. I’m eager to get there and be in a program with such a sense of community and such potential.”

Truett, an all-West Suburban Conference Silver Division choice this past fall, would like to study business and has eyes on possible accounting or Spanish minors.

“It’s going to be a challenge there academically,” said Truett, who has a 4.93 GPA at York and takes all AP honors classes. “I’ve worked very hard on academics and was looking for a

school that will be a good fit for me.

Notre Dame is a good school that will help me be successful.”

Truett feels her time on the varsity at York as a younger player will come in handy when she hits South Bend later this summer.

“I have to give a lot of credit to my high school and club coaches in my development,” she said. “I played with girls who are now Division I athletes.

It’s helped me push toward that environment. Next year is going to be the same thing. I’ll be playing with girls who have four years of college under their belt and I’m just getting in there.

The exposure I’ve had to that type of environment in the past hopefully will do justice for me and make the transition to the next level easier.”

Truett, who plays for the 1st Alliance club team, said she most definitely will miss the York girls volleyball program and the school as a whole.

“I’ve devoted a lot of time to it,” she said. “I remember being at the middle school camp every summer and training and then I worked the camp. All that time in the program has paid off and has made me a better player. I’ve learned a lot about dedication to your coaches, teammates and the program and that’s going to carry over with me to college. I’m going to miss my teammates and all the friendships I have developed, particularly with Alexandra Preuss (fellow York standout who will play at Lewis University this fall) who I’ve played with for four years. York helped me so much and has helped me prepare for college.”

York girls water polo team has experience Dukes return virtually entire roster

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The York girls water polo team didn’t need to introduce themselves on the first day of practice.

That’s because the Dukes graduated only one senior from last year’s team that went 14-12 overall and finished 2-3 in the West Suburban Conference.

“It’s pretty much the same starting lineup and we’ve added a couple new juniors with some speed,” said York coach Mark Giuliani.

Among the key returners for the Dukes are seniors Grace Achepohl and Carli York, along with juniors Maria Rantis and goalie Sarah Lewand.

“Grace has been our lead-

ing scorer every year and has been our MVP,” said Giuliani.

“The big thing with Grace is she’s a defensive player who wins points on offense. Carli York is one of the fastest girls on the team and Maria Rantis always seems to get open. This is Sara Lewand’s second year as goalie and she’s maturing as a player and is looking very comfortable between the cage.

The biggest thing is this is a veteran group. We have five girls who will have at least three years of varsity experience. It’s a mature group that have played in the system and understand what we need to do on offense and defense.

They understand where our strengths and weaknesses lie.”

That group of five veterans includes Achepohl (4 years on varsity), Amalia Siavelis (2 years), Isabelle Gil (3 years), Rantis (2 years), York (4 years), Eleanor Fitzpatrick

(3 years) and Lewand (parts of 3 years).

Senior Maggie Schlecht is back with the program for the first time since her freshman year.

“Maggie is very fast and will help make a difference for us on defense,” said Giuliani.

“She is so fast, she makes things difficult for offenses.”

Giuliani said team speed will be a difference-maker this season. “We have a good amount of speed, more so than last year,” he said. “We will be able to beat teams down the pool and score goals on the counter attack.”

York recently opened the 2016 season with a 13-8 nonconference loss to Naperville North.

“Even though we lost, we were much more improved against them than we have been in previous years,” said Giuliani. “Before, we were

only putting up two or three goals. I thought our defense was strong against Naperville North and I really believe our offense is going to be strong.”

Rantis and Achepohl each had two goals. York, Gil and Siavelis each had one goal.

“This year will be one of the best in York history, knock on wood,” said Giuliani. “If there is ever a year to make it out of our tough sectional, this would be the one. Even though we lost to Naperville North, we played with them the whole time. We made some mistakes, but that’s to be expected in the first game. The girls realized they have the potential to be a good team.”

Giuliani also lauded his team for their perseverance during a recent stretch where the York pool was closed for maintenance, which forced the Dukes to hold practice in the evening at Lyons Township

High School.

“We have a game upcoming against Lyons and I was joking with the girls that because of us practicing there it’s a home game,” he said. “I’m proud of the girls for how they handled the situation. We had to travel over there and we weren’t able to have any morning practices.

Then we came out and played pretty well against Naperville North. Our pool is back to normal now. The experience is only going to help us.”

Giuliani added another factor that will help the team is the tough schedule it plays on an annual basis.

“We have a very tough schedule,” he said. “I’m excited about the teams we are playing. We’re playing teams in the top 25 and that’s good for us. We play in a tough conference and compete in a tough schedule. We welcome any competition.”

York boys lacrosse team looking for more success Dukes coming off conference championship season

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The York boys lacrosse team will not lack for returning experience this season.

The Dukes return plenty of it from a 2015 team that went 16-4, won the WestSuburban Conference with an 8-1 record and advanced to the state round of 16, losing to St. Viator 8-3.

Key returners for the Dukes include senior defender Cam Dobrotka, who will play lacrosse at Division III Wittenberg University and senior attack Jack Buckley, who will play at Division I Siena College. Senior midfielder Quinn Gaughan also returns.

“Cam has been a varsity player for four years and appears to be ready to lead a very strong defense,” said Canfield. “Jack is a tough and shifty senior attack man who will now attract the attention of opposing teams’ top defensemen. It will be interesting to see how he responds. Quinn is a very good athlete and has the ability to run past defenders. He shoots the ball incredibly hard. He has the ability to put up big numbers on offense this year.”

Among the newcomers to the squad are senior attack Erik Nyberg and sophomore midfielder Joe Chorij.

Dobrotka and Buckley both were all-WSC second-team selections.

“We have good stick skills,” said York coach Don Canfield. “The guys on the team can move the ball really well. We also have depth with a lot of returning players and a lot of talented newcomers pushing the returning guys.”

York has 14 seniors on the team. “We have a strong senior class,” said Canfield. “Many of the players have been on varsity since sophomore year. We will see how they step up.”

Canfield likes the fact he has many weapons on offense, as well as an experienced defense. In goal, senior Tommy Angelos (honorable mention all-conference last season) and sophomore Artie Renier return. “Last season they split time with Tommy taking over the starting role at the end of the season,” he said. “Both look strong early.”

Canfield said a key to this season will be playing together in a new offense, “especially after losing much of our offense from last season,” he said. “We’re learning new systems we are trying to put in.”

Canfield noted York’s schedule this season is its toughest ever. “We have a lot of experience with a huge senior class looking to build on last season’s program-first conference championship,” he said.

“Every game this season will test us. Hopefully the schedule will force us to continue to get better every day with the payoff coming in the playoffs where we play our best lacrosse.”

York girls lacrosse team looking for another banner year Dukes ranked fifth in the state last year, advanced to final round of eight

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — York girls lacrosse coach Ryan Walz likes the fact his team has plenty of potential on both sides of the field.

The Dukes return talented offensive and defensive players from a 2015 team that went 16-5, advanced to the state round of eight in the playoffs and was ranked fifth in the state. York lost to Hinsdale Central in the playoffs. Hinsdale lost to Loyola Academy in the state-title game.

York returns all-conference players Lauren Anderson, Zoe Lawless, Emily Siegenthaler, Emma Baubly and Izzy Torres.

Key defenders Hannah Fleckenstein and Katie Toohey also are back.

“It starts with our defense. Hannah and Katie will anchor the defense,” said Walz. “We know we will score goals this year, but the key to our success we know relies on our defense. Hannah and Katie are two of the best defenders in our conference, without a doubt. They are senior leaders who are helping a new core of defenders at the varsity level. They do a fantastic job assisting the coaches in the teaching of positional play and leading our new defensive crew.”

Key newcomers include Mollie Grasse (defense), Marissa Krilich (midfield), Jane Jurasek (attack-defense), Kerry O’Malley (defense), Alexa Ferzacca (attack), Caroline Fritsch (goalie) and Claire Dyra (defense).

Walz said the team’s midfield play also will be a strength this spring. “We have excellent transitions and speed through the midfield,” he said. “We will have the scoring and goaltending depth. Our offense is fast, aggressive and smart.

We make quick plays in tight, highpressure situations, which we practice a lot on. We move the ball well and are very unselfish. We try to get everyone involved and if other teams try to shut down one or two individuals on our team, they will get beat by others.”

Torres and newcomer Fritsch give York depth in goal. “Izzy Torres had a fantastic year and was a big contributor to our overall success,” said Walz. “Izzy is a fierce competitor and she works hard to get better every day. However, Caroline is an excellent young goalie who will compete for playing time. She, too, works extremely hard. I don’t know if any other varsity team has two solid goalies like we do. It will be great to see them play and compete.”

Walz said two more players to keep an eye on are Sam Wilson and Ellie Grubbs. “Sam Wilson no longer has three seniors to compete with,” he said.

“She will start this year and I believe she will be an important role player for our offense. Ellie will be a sophomore and she has some of the best scoring ability around the net.”

Walz said the team is working on its defense and stick skills. “We have been focusing a lot on our communication, slides and positional play on defense,” he said.

Walz is looking forward to what the 2016 season brings. “I believe we will have another great season,” he said.

“However, we lost eight seniors and our newcomers will really need to play well for us to get where we want to be.

In my 11 years of coaching lacrosse I have never seen a team so focused and excited to start the season. We have a ton of talent and heart. This team is fun to watch. They always are excited to practice and they can’t wait for the first game. We have the toughest schedule in York girls lacrosse history, but I believe we are up for the challenge.”

Zastrow, Gifford lead way for Timothy Christian softball team

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The Timothy Christian softball team is in good hands between the pitching circle and home plate.

The Trojans, coming off a 2015 year where it went 6-20 and 2-10 in Metro Suburban Conference East Division play, returns the battery of junior catcher Hope Zastrow and junior pitcher Emily Gifford.

“Hope’s a solid kid who has the most experience,” said Timothy coach Aaron Moore. “Her and Emily both

play travel softball. With that experience they will help the younger kids. Emily is a solid competitor who will be asked to pitch a lot. It’s a challenge she is up to. We will have to win some games through her pitching. We’re an extremely young team and have a small roster this year. Both girls will definitely help everybody out.”

Moore noted the Trojans have a roster of 11 players that includes two freshmen and one sophomore. “The two new freshmen are gong to do fine. They are still learning the

game,” said Moore. “It will be interesting to see what they do when we get into playing games.”

Timothy is scheduled to open the 2016 season today at Nazareth Academy and is slated to host Luther North Monday.

“A big strength of ours is with our catching and pitching. Hope and Emily are going at it hard and they are showing what we need to do,” said Moore. “They are going to be strong for us. We’re missing some experience at some important positions, but every-

body is learning and adapting and hopefully we’ll be able to sneak out some wins. The weather has gone our way and we’ve been able to get outside a couple of times, which has been a big help.”

While Timothy might lack experience on its roster, it does not lack character.

“It’s a great group of girls,” said Moore. “They work hard.

They want to be successful and they try hard. They listen well and they want to get better.”

Gifford is a returning all-conference player for the Trojans.

Stepping up in the clutch Senior Patrick Grabowski turns things up a notch down the stretch for the York boys basketball team

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

T

hroughout its memorable 2015-2016 run, the York boys basketball team benefited from the contributions of many.

One of those key contributors down the stretch was senior Patrick Grabowski, who had several double-digit scoring games during York’s ride all the way to a Class 4A sectional championship game.

Grabowski had 16 points on 6-for-8 shooting in the Dukes’ regional title win over Naperville North. He also had eight points and nine rebounds in the sectional semifinal win over Glenbard West.

“I’ve been more aggressive,” said Grabowski, earlier last week. “I didn’t want my senior year to end because I just like playing the game.”

Grabowski has been a key cog for the Dukes in the post both offensively and defensively.

“Inside in the post is where I excel offensively,” he said.

“It’s where I get most of my buckets and I’m always trying to get a three-point play. I also try and play solid defense and close out shooters and try to get rebounds. Defensively I’m blocking out and finding guys to drive out of the lane.

You have to go after the ball aggressively.”

Grabowski admits he’s a fan

of putting the ball in the basket. “My favorite part of the game I definitely would say is scoring,” he said. “I like hearing the crowd cheer when you score a basket. It definitely gets me motivated on defense.

I love it when the crowd gets going.”

Grabowski started playing basketball in the seventh grade at Churchville Middle School.

“I kept going,” he said. “I like to play the game. It’s fun and it’s always intense. I don’t think about a lot of things outside the court when I’m playing. I focus on the game and that’s what I like about it.”

Grabowski noted this year’s success for York stems from a group of hard-working players

and a strong coaching staff.

“We have a mix of younger guys, some juniors and a strong senior lineup,” he said.

“In general, we’re all unique at different things. We do different things well. We have a freshman (Nick Kosich) starting for us and he plays like he’s an older guy. The younger guys have done well. We’re one big, solid group. We’re all equally good and that has been working for us. Everyone does their job. Everybody is a star at their job and we all come up with big plays at key times.”

Grabowski also tipped his hat to coach Vince Doran and his staff. “The coaching is consistent,” he said. “They get after us, but everything they

do is consistent. They motivate us and do a great job giving us the right mindset. They look at the game differently.”

And now Grabowski can say he was part of a York program that has continued to enjoy success dating back to Grabowski’s freshman season.

York has won four Class 4A regional titles in a row and advanced to the sectional final this season.

“I don’t know if I was necessarily expecting this, but this is my senior year on the varsity,” he said. “It’s definitely exciting and a lot of people have been talking about it. A lot of guys have busted their butts in practice this year. We definitely earned it.”

York hockey club takes home IHSHL awards Totals 11 Individual and team plaudits

ELMHURST — York Hockey Club was the most decorated program at the Illinois High School Hockey League West Division 2015-16 season award announcements. York took home seven individual awards and four team banners as a result of the club’s successful season both on, and off, the ice.

Good as gold

“We are really proud of our players and families,” said YHC President Jessica Gatti.

“They had a great season on the rink and in the classroom.”

York hockey club has a long history of promoting excellence in school, community and on the ice. This season, the players achieved a high level of academic success that was rewarded by the IHSHL. Junior Jack Redick was recognized as the IHSHL President’s Award for Scholastic Achieve-

ment winner.

In addition, twenty-eight other York hockey club players were named to the IHSHL All-Academic Team.

As a result of York’s varsity and junior varsity teams hock-

ey performance, the Dukes received banners for their dominant playoff runs that ended in York being crowned champions in both divisions. The strong playoff performance came on

the heels of a season which saw the junior varsity team cruise to a 25-1-0 regular season championship record and the varsity

New heart stent system is Edward Hospital’s present to Santa NAPERVILLE – For 68-year-old Floyd King, a professional Santa living in Alpena, MI, the last few years were tough. Not only did his coronary arteries keep getting blocked, causing chest pain and weakness, he also suffered from a painful neck condition.

His Michigan orthopedic surgeon, Louis Habryl, MD, recommended spinal fusion

surgery to address the neck problem. He told King his best chance of safely undergoing the surgery was to first get effective treatment for his cardiovascular problem, chronic total occlusion (CTO), when a coronary artery has been blocked for a long period of time and is difficult to open and keep open.

King already had undergone www.edwardjones.com

eight cardiac catheterizations, resulting in placement of several stents – devices designed to prop open the arteries where they’d been blocked. But on several occasions, doctors had difficulty getting through King’s highly calcified arteries.

Dr. Habryl recommended King look into treatment at Edward Heart Hospital in Naperville, where his daughter, Mary Lou Habryl, RN, is the clinical leader of the cardiac catheterization lab. Edward has the latest equipment, and a team highly experienced in treating CTO, which sometimes requires an atherectomy.

In this procedure, the cardiologist uses a catheter that’s fitted with a rotating blade, laser or other device. The catheter is threaded through the body to the blockage site, where the plaque is shaved or vaporized – helpful when severe calcification makes treatment solely with balloons and/or stents difficult.

“Angioplasty for patients with CTO typically has a 5 to 10 percent rate of success in opening the artery,” says Mark Goodwin, MD, medical director of Edward Heart Hospital’s Cardiac Catheterization Lab and interventional cardiologist with Midwest Heart-Advocate Medical Group. “With our range of CTO strategies, the Edward team has been able to achieve a 90 percent success rate.”

with Dr. Goodwin, King says, “I had been having chest pains for two years. (Eventually) I couldn’t even shovel the smallest amount of snow, or walk 50 feet without stopping. “ Dr. Goodwin and interventional cardiologist Tony DeMartini, MD, also with Midwest HeartAdvocate Medical Group, worked to clear two of King’s blocked arteries using laser atherectomy and angioplasty at Edward in November 2015.

Dr. Goodwin and interventional cardiologist Tony DeMartini, MD, also with Midwest HeartAdvocate Medical Group, worked to clear two of King’s blocked arteries using laser atherectomy and angioplasty at Edward in November 2015.

They also used the newly FDA-approved SYNERGY Bioabsorbable Polymer DrugEluting Stent System – the first stent in which both the drug coating and the polymer, which controls the drug’s release, are fully absorbed by the body within months.

Edward is the first Illinois hospital to use SYNERGY in coronary interventions.

“The only stents that had been available were either bare metal, which sometimes irritates the blood vessel, or metal stents coated with a drug to help prevent recurring blockages,” says Dr. Goodwin. “(However,) some patients who receive the drugeluting stents are slow to heal and require long-term blood thinners.”

The SYNERGY stent lessens the risk of these complications according to its manufacturer, Boston Scientific, by “(avoiding) the permanent polymer exposure, which has been associated with complications such as vessel re-narrowing and blood clots.”

“Patients with CTO typically are on two blood thinners for six to nine months after their procedure,” says Dr. Goodwin. “With this stent, it’s often safer to stop these drugs sooner.”

And, cutting back on blood thinners helps make subsequent surgeries safer, such as King’s planned spinal fusion.

King is now back to hunting, shoveling snow and basically doing what he wants to do, including gearing up for Santa’s busiest season, come December.

Four tips to live better in retirement

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

and gym memberships, and sites like Restaurant.com or

and can be cost-effective 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.

With smart strategies you can free yourself from worry about aging, while getting wiser over time.

(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.”

Are you retired or approaching the end of your working life? Are you concerned about an older parent or loved one? Here, Page offers expert tips on living better:

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

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/free-tools, 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,

team skate to a 20-3-3 record to earn second place in the regular season league standings.

Seniors Will Borrows and Frank Wheatland were selected for the IHSHL All Conference team. The duo was also named to the AHAI All –State team.

Freshman Bill Paschen was awarded the league’s Rookie of the Year as a result of his dominant play as a newcomer in the varsity division.

Juniors Parker Stasica and Anthony Trankina were both named Illinois West Top Players JV. Stasica led the league with a 97% save rate and the lowest goals against average of 0.38 a game. Trankina was the junior varsity league goal scoring leader.

In addition to the long list of award winning York players, Coach Bruce Turpin was named the IHSHL Coach of the Year.

“It is nice when people outside the organization recognize our success,” said Turpin. “I see what these players and families do to be successful and I can tell you this is just the start of things to come.”

reason Bob started his CSA. “Most of the food we eat now comes from 1500 miles away,” he said. “Our country used to have local food systems and we are trying to build that up again. And part of that is paying a livable wage to our workers – we pay triple the farm minimum wage. Our shareholders are welcome to visit and schedule a tour anytime. They can see a cow being milked and develop that personal connection to their farmer and their food.”

offered to shareholders and then promoted by Bob’s wife Lori on Elmhurst social media sites.

“She puts a notice on a site like eParent that we have fresh eggs and they are gone in 45 minutes,” said Bob. Bob and Lori’s three daughters have been involved in the farm since the inception of the business.

“My older two girls are in college now but they helped a lot when they were younger,” he said. “My third grader packs boxes, eats veggies right out of the field, and will learn to drive a tractor this year.”

The local aspect is an important

Fresh and Local and recruited 26 members in his first year. Six years later, he maxes out at 150 members each year.

Members can sign up to receive 20, 15, ten or seven boxes of vegetables during the growing season, which starts in June and runs through the fall. Prices range from $280 for summer-only shares to $660 for full season shares.

Bob and his team employ organic practices on the 75-acre farm they lease in Dundee, about 26 miles from Elmhurst.

“We will grow 12 acres of veggies this season, with a crop rotation that enables us to return nitrogen and other nutrients to the soil, eliminate weeds, prevent soil diseases, and use no chemical fertilizers or insecticides,” he explained Bob plans to grow about 60 types of vegetables this year, with double that in varieties.

“We have 19 types of tomatoes,” he said.

His website and shareholder newsletter explain which vegetables grow in each season; broadly speaking, the early months produce lettuces, followed in the summer by sweet corn, tomatoes and green beans, followed in the fall by winter squashes, Asian greens and more lettuces.

Through a recently formed

partnership, this year Bob will offer eggs, milk and meat to his shareholders. His partner will raise animals on the same Dundee farm and offer Bob’s vegetables to his shareholders.

“The idea is to offer our shareholders the full menu, within reason and what grows here,” he said.

Longer-term plans envision the addition of fruit and grains.

About a third of Bob’s shareholders live in Elmhurst and pick up their weekly farm delivery boxes at Tannin’s or from a walk-in cooler at Bob’s house on Spring Road. Extra vegetables, eggs and milk are

LANSING — If a photo is worth a thousand words, a newly installed Pure Michigan photo experience at the International Arrivals Hall of McNamara Terminal and in the North Terminal at Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) will speak volumes to the nearly 1.5 million international travelers that pass through the airport’s federal inspection services facilities each year.

The campaign is one of the first of its kind in the United States and is the result of a collaboration between Travel Michigan, the Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau, Detroit Metropolitan Airport, the Airlines and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). It has been launched to coincide with the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, kicking off January 11. International visitors, including media from approximately 60 countries, attending at this year’s show will be some of the first travelers to be greeted by the Michigan imagery.

“Detroit truly serves as the gateway to Michigan for the vast majority of our international visitors,” said Dave Lorenz, Vice President of Travel Michigan, part of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.

“From the moment people step off that plane, we want them to feel welcome in Michigan, to be excited about arriving in America’s Great Comeback City and to be inspired by the leisure travel opportunities our state has to offer. We appreciate the hard work of everyone involved to bring this experience to life.”

The airport branding builds on Michigan’s increased efforts in recent years to attract international leisure travelers to the state. Artwork, as large as 12 feet high and 61 feet long, featuring images of Detroit cultural landmarks and the state’s natural beauty can be found at the European and Asian arrival gates and the baggage claim area in customs.

Native language videos featuring Detroit will also play on video monitors located throughout the customs area in the near future. As flights arrive, the videos will be served up in the most appropriate language, including English, German and Mandarin.

Pure Michigan ads will also play on the monitors.

he Wisconsin Dells area features the highest concentration of indoor water parks in the world, as well as the largest – the African-themed Kalahari Resort & Convention Center. Water-lovers have no shortage of options in this massive 125,000 square foot facility, including an uphill water roller coaster, a colorful maze of waterslides, tube rides, the longest lazy river in the country, and the “FlowRider,” in which a continuous surge of 50,000 gallons of water per minute creates ocean-like waves for a nearly authentic surfing experience. Plus, you can rent an indoor water park cabana and enjoy a flat screen TV, security safe, refrigerator, chaise lounges and table.

Great Wolf Lodge, also in the Dells, features another wild attraction known as the Howlin’ Tornado, an extreme water-

tubing ride with a 53-foot vertical drop. Not to be outdone, the 80,000 sq. ft. Lost Rios indoor water park at nearby Chula Vista Resort is home to the country’s fastest indoor water coaster, the “Flyan Myan.” Just down the Parkway, the Wilderness Hotel and Golf Resort is America’s largest water park resort with four indoor and four outdoor water parks. Inside, that’s nearly 250,000 sq. ft. of water park fun including bumper boats, the Dell’s only 5-person tube ride, a 180-foot body slide, and a wave pool that creates five-footers.

Indoor Water Parks for Every Type of Getaway The Dells isn’t Wisconsin’s only indoor water park destination. The Tundra Lodge Resort & Waterpark in Green Bay features two 250-foot water slides, an interactive water playground

and Green Bay’s only lazy river and whirlpool… all within the shadow of legendary Lambeau Field.

The Grand Lodge by Stoney Creek in Wausau draws its inspiration from Wisconsin’s Northwoods and the city’s historic leadership in the timber industry. The lodge’s 50,000-squarefoot indoor water park is one of northern Wisconsin’s largest. A bit further north, The Waters of Minocqua also offers a rustic, timbered, Northwoods-look with a pair of body tubes and a plunge pool.

Located on the shores of Lake Michigan in Sheboygan, Breaker Bay - inside the Blue Harbor Resort & Spa is a four-story, 43,000 sq. ft. indoor water park with a nautical theme that captures the adventure of the Great Lakes.

In Waukesha, the Country Springs Hotel and Water Park is a great choice: think two-anda-half football fields of indoor water fun - including their signature Body Flume waterslide - will keep the kids active and happy.

Another exciting indoor water park destination is Moose Mountain Falls on the grounds of the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa at Timber Ridge Lodge in Lake Geneva. Complete with 30,000 square feet of indoor fun, the water park has two waterslides, a lazy river, splash pools filled with interactive water features, and a large whirlpool.
