Proposed building footprint reduced by more than half

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Elmhurst Extended Care has submitted a new application which reduces the footprint of the proposed building addition from 32,129 square feet to 15,481 by constructing a new two-story building.

But ten residents objected at a public hearing held by the Zoning and Planning Commission (ZPC) on Thursday, Feb. 23, just as some people had objected at a previous meeting. At both meetings neighbors cited traffic safety concerns, noting that a larger nursing home did not fit in with the residential neighborhood and that the value of their homes could decrease.

ZPC members will deliberate on the proposal and issue a recommendation, which will refer the proposal to the Planning & Development Committee of three aldermen, who

will issue a report to the City Council, which will have the final vote.

The applicant, who has operated the nursing home at 300 E. Lake St. since 1961, proposes to use three lots where houses were demolished in 2013. The site, is located on the south side of Lake St., east of York St. on the north side of Fremont Ave. The change in square footage would result in code-compliant lot coverage of 30 percent for the entire development site. The R-2 District limits lot coverage to 30 percent.

Currently the property consists of three land parcels, one fronting on Lake St. and zoned C-2 Community Shopping and Service. The other two parcels front on Fremont Ave. are zoned R-2 Single Family residential.

Although nursing homes are allowed as a conditional use in both

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

It may feel as though March just got here, but it’s already time for the wearin’ o’ the green. That’s right, St. Patrick’s Day will be upon us in just two weeks so that means it’s time for the Elmhurst St. Patrick’s Day Parade which takes place this year on Saturday, March 4.

Morley. The popular civic leader is running unopposed in the spring election, proving that he’s doing a pretty good job for our City.

Inside this issue, you’ll find a special section with all the parade news in it, including a list of the entries.

It’s always filled with photos from last year, so look for your friends and neighbors — or yourself!

Thousands of people are flashing smiles that have been beautified by implants, a fabulous tooth replacement technique that can be performed right here in our office.

DAY!

Dental implants are the closest cousin to natural teeth. They are permanent false teeth anchored right into your jawbone, just like your natural teeth. They’re more stable than dentures, and eating is done with ease and comfort. Many patients find implants give them a more positive self-image and more confidence.

Have fun at the parade!

Implants can be used to stabilize dentures and bridges, replace just one tooth or to rebuild an entire jaw of missing teeth. The best part is that they look and feel just like natural teeth. Dental implants are reliable. Patients have retained them for more than twenty years with a better than 90% success rate.

Dental implant treatments does require a greater investment of time and money, but in the long run, it’s well worth it.

Results of VIP Occasions investigation inconclusive

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

On Monday, Feb. 21, after the Elmhurst City Council meeting, the Independent caught up to Fire Chief Thomas Freeman to ask if there was any news about the cause of the massive fire at VIP Occasions at York Freeman said all tests done as part of the investigation came up incon-

clusive, which he said means they may never know what the real cause of the fire was.

“It has a lot to do with the fact that the building is more than 100 years old and the contents inside were highly combustible,” he said. “We believe it began toward the back of the store, but no other conclusions can be determined absolutely.”

Crews continue to clean up the area around VIP Occasions on north York St., after a fire demolished the entire building, beginning on Thursday, Jan. 26 and burning through the night and into the following morning. Fire Chief Thomas Freeman told the Independent that all tests conducted during the investigation were inconclusive and that the incident mainly had to do with the age of the building and the many combustibles inside. While many brides may have been inconvenienced, the best news is that there were no injuries reported, including among the firefighters.

Neighbor Greg Pellico commented that the nursing home addition would bring down the property values of the houses in the neighborhood. He said of five other nursing homes in the Elmhurst area, “not one intrudes into a residential street.”

Scott Day, attorney for the nursing home owner, stated that the proposed addition meets all the building requirements of height, setbacks and lot coverage.

It left a number of people scratching their heads at the last City Council meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 21, when the Majority and Minority reports about the Mladenoff Day Care Conditional Use were pulled from the agenda without prior notice.

Even the members of the Development Planning & Zoning Committee (DPZ) were surprised when the measure was called back to Committee

by City officials, who said there were more safety concerns to discuss.

The Majority report, in favor of the project, was signed and submitted to City Council by DPZ committee members Ald. Mark Mulliner (7th Ward) and Ald. Scott Levin (5th Ward), who chairs the committee.

The Minority report opposing the project was brought forth by Ald. Michael Honquest (6th Ward), the third member of the DPZ. It should be noted that the Zoning & Planning Commission, an advisory body to the City Council, had voted down the measure.

The action of pulling the reports from the Council agenda right before Monday’s meeting was done to the dismay of not only Kasindra Mladenoff, owner of the proposed Elmhurst Premier Childcare facility at 187-195 No. York, just south of City Hall, but also to Mulliner and Levin.

(Ald. Honquest was absent from the Feb. 21st Council meeting.)

The Elmhurst Independent was able to speak to both Ald. Levin and Ald. Mulliner over the phone later in the week, who both pointed out that the baffling thing was the fact that meetings had already been held to discuss all the safety issues and anything that needed to be changed or fixed had already been addressed

by Mladenoff, the petitioner. Neither appreciated the last-minute removal of their reports from the Council agenda, without any explanation why.

It was not until the DPZ Committee meeting on Monday, Feb. 27 that the discussion could continue further.

A memo dated Feb. 23, 2017 was addressed to Than Werner, the City’s planning and zoning administrator, and signed by Chief of Police Michael Ruth, Fire Chief Tom Freeman and City Engineer Kent Johnson indicating there were further concerns regarding traffic and pedestrian safety. The memo noted that the concerns had been voiced over the last several months as City staff and elected officials discussed the proposal.

Proponents of the day care center had sent letters of support for the facility. Letters were also received from parents of young children who look forward to the daycare center, which is expected to be available for drop-in childcare until 8 p.m. during the week and as late as 12 midnight on weekends.

“

If there are inherent problems with this, it’s up to the City to rectify those, not put it on the backs of the people trying to open a business. The way this (was pulled) at the last minute taints the process and puts the City in a bad light.”

– John R. Quigley, president and CEO of the ECCI

Mladenoff told the Elmhurst Independent in an interview that the children who would frequent the center are between the ages of 6 months and 3 years, in other words, non-walkers.

“Most are too young to even walk, so they will be carried in by their parents,” she said. “There’s not really a safety issue for the children.”

Although reports from the traffic consultant indicated the three available parking spaces would likely be enough, Mladenoff added seven parking spots as well as a sidewalk between the spaces and the building.

The traffic study further showed that most traffic rarely travels all the way through the alley from the north driveway entrance to the south exit by the municipal lot at York and Schiller. Parkers in the municipal lot typically exit south onto Schiller; those at City Hall usually exit north onto Third Street, which should not affect any business located at 187195 No. York.

be.

“If there are inherent problems with this, it’s up to the City to rectify those, not put it on the backs of the people trying to open a business,” Quigley said. “The way this [was pulled] at the last minute taints the process and puts the City in a bad light.”

The City responds City Manager Jim Grabowski began the City’s portion of explaining the removal of the agenda items before Freeman, Ruth and Johnson gave their reasons.

Freeman first talked about being the new kid on the block, having only started his position as Fire Chief just four to six weeks ago. His main concern was getting a fire truck near the facility, should the back lot be full.

Ruth’s concern was with the setback of the building and where the utility poles stood. The Committee noted Ruth had been in on the discussions since the beginning when all the safety issues had already been addressed. It was further stated that the petitioner had gone back and rectified virtually all of the City’s concerns. Johnson concurred with Freeman and Ruth’s feelings about traffic and pedestrian safety.

wards now,” said Mulliner. “I just can’t get my head around what is the difference between this business and any other [business] moving into the space. The other side of this is, we’ve got a building here that has been empty for more than eight years and we want something in there. Certainly we want it to be safe, but we can’t wrap people in bubblewrap. There’s a point at which people have to be responsible for their own actions and their own children’s safety.”

Honquest explains his position, stands by his Minority report Before speaking, Ald. Honquest changed positions at the table in order to address everyone in the room, especially those who had spoken in favor of Mladenoff and the facility and criticized his silence. He looked people square in the eye as he spoke.

“I am a volunteer worker [as an Alderman],” he began. “I was elected to serve and when I review a decision, I go to the [City] staff, who have the skills and training to address these issues. I’m not in a position to do that. That’s the process we follow.”

Honquest went on to say that he had to trust the advice of the staff as well as traffic consultants because he was not an engineer himself.

“You have every right to speak up,” he said to the people in the room. “We have an excellent group of people and staff knows this parking lot better than I do.”

After some exchange between Committee members, it was determined that the Majority and the Minority reports would both be re-submitted to the agenda of the next City Council meeting, but would stand as they were originally written without any changes.

“I’m sure some aldermen will have questions,” Levin said.

The next City Council meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 6.

At the DPZ meeting On Monday, Feb. 27, DPZ Committee Chair Scott Levin called the meeting to order and opened the floor to public comment. A handful of people spoke in favor of the facility and in support of Mladenoff.

Some called on 6th Ward Alderman Michael Honquest to speak up, that his silence on the issue “wasn’t ap- Mulliner questions move, propriate,” and to reconsider his vote notes building idle for 8+ years against the project.

“I feel like we’re working backLevin and Mulliner were clearly annoyed by the last minute removal of the item from the previous Monday’s agenda by Ruth, Freeman and Johnson, indicating they had been kept out of the loop on why it was done in the first place, much less why it was pulled at the 11th hour.

Citywide Community Church devoted to inclusivity, peace, social justice

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

By now, most people realize that the former Lutheran Church on North Avenue a few blocks west of York St. was purchased and transformed into the Masonic Lodge a few years ago. Since that time, the Lodge has found others to share the space during times it is not in use by the Masons. Among those is the Citywide Community Church.

The church has enjoyed a solid following in Chicago, but has found that more and more members reside in the western suburbs, so officials sought a place of worship in this area. That’s when the Masonic Lodge became its ideal place of worship. To learn what the church was all about, the Elmhurst Independent was able to sit down with Bishop James Wilkowski of the Evangelical Catholic Diocese of the Northwest.

“The theology of the Evangelical Catholic Church is not that far removed from that of our cousins in the Roman Catholic Church,” the Bishop said. “We still celebrate the same history, the Seven Sacraments, the Stations of the Cross, etc. The uniqueness is in our commitment to the Second Vatican’s call for social justice and peace, inclusion and living up to the laity. For example, we welcome women to the priesthood; priests — male or female — may or may not be married; there are some who still take the traditional vows of poverty and chastity to enter the religious life.”

Easing the annulment process One thing the church has done is

1997, was consecrated a Bishop. He became a missionary priest, which he always thought meant foraging in the jungles around the world. His missionary work took him to the city.

“The priest who ordained me said, good luck, and I was on my own,” he said. “At first we had a lot of response that the Diocese was against what we were doing, but as our work became more well-known, they started asking, ‘hey, who are you guys?’

“We put up a web site and really placed our cards on the table, as to who we were and what we were about. Soon, they would say, ‘they know what they’re doing.’”

own psycho-sexual issues.

“Some of us went in as innocents, myself and others were chewed up in the process.”

Finding a different path So he left Joliet and the formation program and was later picked up by the Diocese in Jefferson City, Mo. There, he learned of the Evangelical Catholic Church.

“I always said, there’s a reason God gave me the option to cross the Catholic boulevard from regular to evangelical,” he said. “We are a validated Catholic community, but the second half of the issue is, we are not in [the Diocese’s] control or jurisdiction. Still, they recognize the fact that the experience we’ve had as a bishop or a priest meets About the Roman Church’s and sometimes even surpasses Rohistory of sexual abuse Bishop Wilkowski said they were man theology in many areas.

Bishop Wilkerson said they recognize the Pope as the leader of the Roman Catholic community, but they don’t go out of their way to follow all of the internal mechanisms of the Roman church.

“My own personal feeling is that there is a movement similar to that of the Queen Mother,” he said. “She once said she felt the need to ‘put the starch back in the monarchy.’ With the tsunami of sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church, I feel this movement toward the Evangelical Catholic Church is more or less the same thing.

“I have said to the upset of theologians that I see the tree of Catholicism and we’re a new branch on an old tree, sharing the same roots. We are all Catholic in some way, shape or form, but people have never been given permission to know that Catholicism exists outside of Rome.

Part of my job is educating people to that.”

The DuPage Foundation (DF) celebrated the legacy of Brooks McCormick, our co-founder, on Feb. 23, 2017, which would have been his 100th birthday.

Born in 1917, Mr. McCormick possessed deep ties to DuPage and was regarded as one of our community’s leading philanthropists and conservationists. He was the great-grandnephew of Cyrus Hall McCormick, inventor of the mechanical reaper and founder of International Harvester (now Navistar).

While serving as chair of The Chicago Community Trust’s executive committee, Mr. McCormick partnered with local civic leader Mary Eleanor Wall and others in 1986 to create DF, a 501 (c)(3) public charity focused on raising the quality of life throughout DuPage County through its grant-making, special initiatives, and charitable services to donors.

More than 30 years later, DF has grown to more than $65 million in

The dog was subsequently located in the owner’s backyard.

Oak Meadows golf course gets a facelift, new name The fairways where the legendary Ben Hogan once walked will now be known as The Preserve at Oak Meadows.

The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County on Tuesday, formally renamed what had been known for 30 years as the Oak Meadows Golf Course in Addison. It reflects the $16.8 million transformation of the 288acre property into something much more than 27 holes of flood-prone, 1920s-era golf.

The Preserve at Oak Meadows is the result of a major environmental restoration project resulting in a forest preserve that promises improved stormwater management, greater water quality in Salt Creek, enhanced habitat for fish and other aquatic species, and a premier 18-hole public golf destination rivaling any in the Midwest.

Forest Preserve District of DuPage County President Joe Cantore said the new name more accurately reflects what the property has become — a revitalized preserve, where conservation and recreation thrive together.

“We believe The Preserve at Oak Meadows is a model for how conservation agencies can blend ecological initiatives with golf and recreation,”

he said.

To accommodate the ambitious ecological and stormwater management aspects of the project, the number of golf holes was reduced from 27 to 18. The result is an entirely new golf course designed by nationally-known golf course architect Greg Martin.

Only 15 percent of the 288 acres is dedicated to fairways, greens and teeing areas, officials said. Improvements also include a connection to the regional Salt Creek Greenway Trail, making The Preserve accessible to hikers, joggers and cyclists.

The District and its partners, the DuPage River Salt Creek Workgroup and DuPage County Stormwater Management, funded the restoration project. The River Prairie Group of the Sierra Club also supported the project’s initiatives.

One of the giants of the game, Hogan won the 1941 Chicago Open at what was then Elmhurst Country Club, an 18-hole private club originally designed by prominent golf course architect Charles W. Wagstaff. The Forest Preserve District acquired the course in 1985, renaming it Oak Meadows and later bought the adjacent Brookwood Country Club.

Misericordia dinner seeks to break record The date of Wednesday March 22 marks the 11th annual fundraiser for the Misericordia Wild Game Dinner sponsored by many local organizations and Elmhurst resident Butch Navarro.

Misericordia is a continuum of care and a network of services for persons with mild to profound developmental disabilities, many of whom are also physically chal-

lenged.

After being introduced to his sister-in-law as a resident at Misericordia more than 31 years ago, and meeting Sister Rosemary Connelly SM, their Executive Director, Navarro became hooked on doing whatever he could to promote their message.

A dinner with donations and prizes started this event 11 years

ago with ten friends who shared a passion for hunting and charitable organizations. Last year the event had 215 people in attendance, and raised $20,000. They are hoping to raise even more this year.

With the help of family, friends and business contacts, Navarro has seen a steady increase in the awareness for Misericordia in his hometown of Elmhurst.

“This is in an opportunity to experience great food, great people and great fun, all for a great cause,” Navarro said.

Tickets to the Hawks, Cubs, Sox and Wolves will be up for auction, along with sporting goods, Blackhawks and Cubs jerseys, artwork and gift certificates. One special item for auction is an 8-week-old yellow Labrador female puppy

donated by Carriage Hill Kennels in Glenview. They are still seeking items to auction. To donate call 630-638-0110.

This event will be held at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 537 S. York Rd, with the ticket price $40.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with a cash bar, dinner is served at 6:30 p.m.

After that there will be a silent auction, live auction and raffles.

Members of the Sandburg Girl Scout Troop 42170 led the Pledge of Allegiance to begin the Elmhurst City Council meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 21. On the dais behind the girls are (from left): Aldermen Norm Leader (2nd Ward), Jim Kennedy (6th Ward), Marti Deuter (1st Ward) and Michael Bram (3rd Ward).

Five things to know if someone you love is addicted to painkillers medication can help repair. There are three major medications typically used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes counseling and participation in social support programs: Buprenorphine, methadone and naltrexone. Buprenorphine and methadone diminish the effects of withdrawal and cravings restoring brain chemistry. Naltrexone blocks the euphoric effects of opioids and heroin. Buprenorphine and naltrexone can be administered by health care providers. Methadone is delivered in specialized clinics.

3. Traditional treatments aren’t always effective. Recovery is a lifelong journey. Unfortunately, some traditional treatments focus on quicker fixes like attempting it alone or by going cold turkey, which ultimately can be detrimental.

Indeed, rates of relapse for people who have gone through in-patient treatment programs are up to 56 percent within the first year following discharge. However, medications, can offer longerterm solutions, and are often less expensive than in-patient treatment.

If traditional substance abuse programs haven’t worked, consider medication.

4. Support is critical. A failed cycle of detox and inpatient therapy, then relapse, can leave a person feeling hopeless. This is why support is critical. Doctors and

treatment counselors are important, but even more so is a well-informed support group of family and friends.

“Addiction is not a broken arm that can be fixed. It’s like being on a permanent diet with a piece of candy staring at you every day,” says Avi Israel, a survivor advocate who lost his son after battling a prescription drug addiction. He advises friends and family of patients to, “Know the signs of addiction. Don’t judge.

Throw tough love out the window.

Love. But love with structure.”

5. Understanding addiction is crucial. Both patients and their friends and family should understand that addiction is a disease, and know what is needed to manage it.

“My son had Crohn’s disease, and I knew everything about that.

I wish I had known as much about addiction,” says Israel.

There are more options than traditional 30-day-treatment programs and 12-step programs.

In addition to medication, there are support programs like SMART recovery, which provide attendees with tools based on the latest scientific research, as well as a worldwide community with selfempowering, science-based support groups.

A road of recovery is paved by many people – not just those in recovery. With the right support systems in place, a successful and sober life is possible.

(StatePoint) Fifty-two people die every day from opioid overdoses nationwide, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported more than 12 million U.S. residents used prescription painkillers non-medically in the past year.

Unfortunately, even a small dosage can depress respiratory function, and these drugs can be especially dangerous when combined with other common substances like alcohol and sleeping pills. What’s more, prescription drug abuse can be addictive, and even lead to heroin use.

If you love someone who may be addicted to prescription painkillers, here are five things the National Safety Council says you should know.

1. Addiction is a chronic disease that affects the brain. Addiction, like heart disease or diabetes, leads to increasingly poor health, and can be fatal if it’s not effectively treated and managed. People who suffer from addiction still have self-worth and should be treated with dignity. Unfortunately, shame and discrimination prevent many individuals from seeking treatment.

Recovery can be achieved in many different ways and all recovery efforts should be celebrated.

2. Medication Helps. Opioid and heroin addiction cause a chemical imbalance in the brain, which

IC Catholic Prep inducts two new members to Athletic Hall of Fame On Saturday, January 28, IC Catholic Prep (ICCP) inducted its newest members into the 2017 Athletic Hall of Fame.

Honored were Dr. Thomas Raspanti ’66 (football and baseball) and Donna Collignon Chambers ’84 (volleyball). In a presentation prior to the start of the boys Varsity Basketball game, Dr. Thomas Raspanti, along with his wife Cathy, were joined by Earl and Judy Collignon to receive their award.

Donna Chambers was unfortunately unable to attend due to a prior work engagement.

Friends and families of the honorees also took part in a celebratory Mass and Athletic Hall of Fame reception prior to the game.

In 2006, ICCP established the Athletic Hall of Fame Award, which is intended to recognize graduates whose achievements reflect the ideals of commitment, excellence, and service; and also gives witness to the heart and spirit of Catholic education, athletic integrity, and leadership. The award has been created to serve as a standard to which current student athletes can aspire.

Dr. Raspanti was a four-year varsity letter winner in baseball and a three-year varsity letter winner in football. He was an all-conference selection in both baseball and football during his junior and senior years, while also helping lead his baseball teams to two conference championships. Dr. Raspanti went on to play four years of football and three years of baseball for the Elmhurst College Bluejays, earning his Bachelors degree

from Elmhurst College in 1970.

He went on to graduate from the Marquette University School of Dentistry in 1974. During a successful career as an oral surgeon, Dr. Raspanti served as the president of the Waukesha Dental Society and the Chief of Staff for Waukesha Memorial Hospital Dental Service before retiring in 2009.

Donna Collignon Chambers was a twoyear varsity letter winner and standout in the IC volleyball program. As a sophomore, Chambers was moved up to the varsity team for the post season and earned a gold medal as a part of the 1981 IHSA Class A State Championship team. As a junior, she helped lead the Knights to a second place finish in the IHSA State Finals. And finally as a senior, Chambers was a WSCC All-Conference selection, Chicago All-Area selection, and earned All-State Second team honors while helping the volleyball team earn yet another trip downstate to finish in the Elite Eight.

Chambers went on to play volleyball at the University of Virginia where she competed in the ACC conference and was a starter for the team in all four seasons.

She graduated in 1988 with a Bachelors in Commerce and eventually earned her Masters in Management from the Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management in 2006. She now works in marketing for Hewlett Packard.

Cyber Club Team takes first at State, Midwest Regionals A team of high school students who attend York Community High School recently concluded an exceptional four rounds of competition against more than 1,700 high school teams in CyberPatriot, the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition.

Led by Coach Dean Jensen from Elmhurst College, the students, who attend York Community High School, excelled in the CyberPatriot IX State Round, held Jan. 15, demonstrating teamwork, critical

thinking skills and technical knowledge key to a successful career in cybersecurity.

The team’s performance at State earned it a 1st Place Award and a spot in the Platinum Tier Regional Round, which was held Feb. 5. The participants went on to earn the Midwest 1st Place Award at the Regional competition.

Team members included students Joseph Black, Evan Mills, Brandon Musgrave, Amelia O’Halloran, Bri-

The Club 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.

In Her Own Right exhibit closing on March 12 Show about state’s first woman architect still offers programs

Architecture is a subject on the minds of many Chicagoans, and the city’s rich history is closely entwined with its visionary architects.

Yet, one of those pioneers has yet to become a household name in a place that puts its architects on pedestals: Marion Mahony Griffin.

The Elmhurst History Museum’s current exhibit, “In Her Own Right: Marion Mahony Griffin,” aims to change that status. The exhibit is in its final weeks of a six-month run, so the time is now to explore the interesting life and pioneering work of an extraordinary woman who was one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s first employees and the first registered female architect in the state of Illinois.

“In Her Own Right” traces Mahony Griffin’s early life, her personal and professional partnership with her husband (Walter Burley Griffin) on three continents, her final years in Chicago where she died in relative obscurity—and considers the legacy of a Chicagoan of immense but often overlooked importance.

The exhibit is open through March 12, 2017 at the Elmhurst History Museum, located at 120 E. Park Ave. in Elmhurst. Exhibit hours are: Sunday, Tuesday through Friday from 1 to 5 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. General admission is free and limited free parking is available.

Final Exhibit-related Programs To close out the final weeks of “In Her Own Right,” the Elmhurst His-

tory Museum has two programs on the schedule related to the exhibit.

On Friday, March 3, families can explore Mahony Griffin’s love of nature and her belief in the power of fairies to help children expand their imaginations during a School’s Out Workshop. Kids and caregivers will participate together to make Fairy Garden Jars that children can use to capture fairies at home.

Cost is $10 per adult/child pair for members and $5 for each additional child; the non-member fee is $15 per adult/child pair and $7 per additional child. Registration is online at elmhursthistory.org in the Family Programs section or at http://bpt. me/2844123. The program takes place in the Museum’s Education Center at 1 p.m.

In addition, a rare opportunity to view Marion’s hand-painted murals, “Fairies Feeding the Herons” and “Father Heron Feeding the Fish,” will take place on Saturday, March 11 from 1:00 until 2:30 p.m. when they will be open to the public at George B. Armstrong International Elementary School, located at 2110 Greenleaf Ave. in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Mahony Griffin created the paintings inside the school where her sister was an art teacher in 1931 during an extended visit to her nearby Evanston family home.

Incorporating themes of imagination, creativity, and love of nature, Marion delighted students by standing upon a table to paint while dis-

Huntington Learning Center celebrates forty years

Huntington Learning Center is celebrating its 40th year of helping students unlock their academic potential. Since its founding in 1977

by Dr. Raymond and Mrs. Eileen Huntington, the company has helped millions of students of all ages and abilities learn the skills they need to excel in school, improve their study habits and build self-confidence.

Huntington of Elmhurst is located at 179 S. Route 83 in Elmhurst Cross-

ing Shopping Center. It is owned and operated by a husband and wife team, Mark and Diane Kilcommons.

They are committed to helping every student become a better academic version of themselves.

The company’s success is grounded in its mission, which is to give every student the best education possible. Huntington is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools as well as

the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and is one of the nation’s first approved supplemental education services providers under No Child Left Behind. Eileen Huntington, co-founder and CEO, adds, “While we’ve received numerous awards and accolades over the past 40 years, our greatest joy is knowing

we have helped millions of students gain the skills, confidence and motivation they need to succeed.”

Huntington Learning Center is the premier national tutoring and test prep provider for the K-12 market with locations in 38 states. Areas of instruction include phonics, reading, writing, vocabulary, math, science,

study skills, executive functioning skills, ACT, SAT, PSAT, high school entrance exams, and state and other standardized exams.

Modern day fires grow faster and hotter, NFPA says The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) issued an attack fire hose safety bulletin last week, reminding the fire service to purchase, maintain, inspect, remove and repair fire hose in accordance with NFPA 1961: Standard on Fire Hose and NFPA 1962: Standard for the Care, Use, Inspection, Service Testing, and Replacement of Fire Hose, Couplings, Nozzles, and Fire Hose Appliances.

“Research shows that flashover occurs eight times faster today, putting firefighters and their equipment at increased risk,” said Ed Conlin, Public Fire Protection division manager. “As NFPA’s Technical Committee on Fire Hose, the Fire Protection Research Foundation and others consider attack hose characteristics and research gaps, it’s important that fire departments follow fire hose codes, and make tactical changes to keep first responders safe during fast-moving fires.”

Thermal degradation of fire hose has been identified as a factor during fire hose failure incidents in recent years. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) called for more research, dialogue, review of fireground tactics, and responsiveness from fire service research organizations, equipment manufacturers, standard-makers, and fire departments after two Boston firefighters died in a Back Bay blaze in 2015.

The Fire Protection Research Foundation conducted a Workshop on Fire Hose in Support of the Technical Committee in 2016, and recommendations were shared for consideration in the next edition of the code to be released in 2019.

Another report that may offer additional insight on firefighter equipment and thermal conditions will be released next month.

Resident sets new initiative at Northwestern Mutual McQuade makes leadership development a company priority network office in Chicago, Oak Brook, Rosemont and Northbrook.

But a need to constantly break new ground brought the team together to change the leadership development playbook.

Mike Muisenga awarded Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Chairman’s Circle-Gold

Elmhurst- Mike Muisenga of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Prairie Path, REALTORS has been named to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices’ prestigious Chairman’s Circle Gold for 2016.

In March, Mike will be recognized during special awards ceremonies at the 2016 Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Sales Convention held in Phoenix, Az. The Chairman’s Circle-Gold is awarded to the top 2% of the network’s 42,000+ sales professionals.

This is the 3rd year in a row that Mike has achieved this status.

Mike Muisenga “We congratulate Mike, winning the Gold Level of the Chairman’s Circle Award is an impressive achievement and attests to Mike’s commitment to his profession,” said Gino Blefari, President of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Prairie Path, REALTORS became a member of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Real Estate network in April, 2014. The company is an independently owned franchise operated by Mickey Muisenga since 1988.

“Leadership development used to mean you wanted to rise to the role of Managing Partner, but today’s financial advisors aspire to be leaders in their career,” said Corey D. McQuade, Managing Partner.

“They want an opportunity to develop themselves, develop others, and lead a team, regardless of titles and organizational charts.”

To build on the firm’s legacy of leadership in the financial planning field, McQuade set leadership development as a strategic priority.

“The goal was to create a leading edge learning experience and development opportunity that will challenge today’s emerging leaders thinking and accelerate their growth,” he said.

The result, 1872, a top-tier leadership development program that embraces servant leadership, a tenet of the financial planning firm.

The two-year experiential learning program will provide one-on-one coaching, engage participants in team building at a performance training camp and provide fun social events.

It continues with learning opportunities for experienced advisors to embrace fast-moving technologies and changing consumer demands and build on their vision of success.

“Innovation is not a new trend for our firm,” said McQuade. “We will always be the financial planning firm that stands on the shoulders of legends and whose advisors and leaders exemplify excellence each and every year,” he adds. “Through the 1872 leadership development program, it’s our turn to build the next generation of leaders.”

Championship Knights

The IC Catholic Prep Knights boys basketball team shows off their newly minted IHSA Class 2A regional championship trophy after defeating cross-town rival Timothy Christian 53-52 on Friday, Feb. 24.

Timothy Christian boys and girls teams reach regional finals Trojans win 17 games this season; Strube advances to 3-point shooting sectional round

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Timothy Christian boys basketball team saw its season come to a conclusion after a 53-52 loss to crosstown neighbor IC Catholic Prep in the championship game of the Class 2A IC Catholic Prep regional.

Brandon Orange led the Trojans with 17 points. Jonny Strube had 11 points, while Joey Davidson and Ty Merrick each had nine points. Trayvon Williams had four points and Jimmy Allen added two points.

Timothy reached the regional final

after downing Westmont 39-33 in the regional semifinals.

“We were losing by four at halftime and the guys came back,” said Timothy Christian coach Jack LeGrand. “It was a defensive battle. Westmont did a good job on us and we played good defense as well. We had a good spurt in the second half.”

Orange led the Trojans with 14 points and six rebounds. Davidson had 12 points and three rebounds, while Strube had seven points and 10 rebounds.

“Our defense was pretty good, but

offensively we didn’t finish as well as we would have hoped,” said LeGrand.

“We’ve made some good strides.

We’re starting to play better defense and when we move the ball on offense we are getting some high-percentage shots.”

At this point in the playoffs you are trying to survive and keep playing and we are happy that we did that.

Timothy lost to IC Catholic Prep by 15 points earlier in the season at ICCP. In earlier action, the Trojans lost a

MSC Red game to Elgin St. Edward by a 64-52 count.

“St. Edward did a really good job on us,” said LeGrand. “We didn’t shoot the ball well all the way around.”

Strube led the Trojans with 19 points, 14 rebounds and two assists, while Orange had 18 points and 10 rebounds. Davidson had eight points, 11 rebounds and two assists.

“All of those guys had big games,” said LeGrand. “Those three guys have been carrying us offensively.”

The game against St. Edward may

have been the final contest held in the Timothy Christian gym with the opening of the school’s new arena on the horizon.

“We’re hoping to be in our new facility next season,” said LeGrand.

The Trojans finished the season 1711 overall and took second place in the Metro Suburban Conference Red Division with an 8-4 record. Chicago Christian won the Red Division title.

Strube advanced to the sectional round of the Class 2A state 3-point shooting contest. Strube will shoot this week at Guerin Prep.

Michele Strube, Olivia Schruinga named to all-MSC Red team

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Timothy Christian girls basketball team was close to winning a regional title.

“We were about 60 seconds away,” Trojans coach Michele Strube said.

Timothy lost 46-43 in overtime to Lisle in the Class 2A Lisle regional final.

“It was a tough loss,” said Strube.

“We didn’t have a good first half.

We started slow. We altered some things and the second half was very

exciting. We were up by six points with a minute to go. We did a lot of preparation with what-if situations if we were to get into games like this.

We went through what to do late in games like this.”

Timothy was plagued by missed free throws in the latter part of the fourth quarter against Lisle. The host team rallied back and hit a 3-point basket at the buzzer to send the game into overtime.

“They threw up a Hail Mary and it went in,” said Strube.

Timothy didn’t score any points in the overtime period. “We didn’t have anything left in us,” said Strube. “It’s tough. We had a minute left to play and we were confident. We had been shooting free throws better lately. It’s sad for the seniors. We haven’t won a regional in a while and we were hoping to do it with this group. They are a special group of kids. They took it pretty hard. Things didn’t go our way at the end.”

Jordyn Strube led the Trojans with 16 points. “Jordyn had a phenome-

nal game. We had a lot of girls who played well in that game,” said Michele Strube.

Timothy finished the season 13-15.

“We competed in most of those games, which is great,” said Strube.

Jordyn Strube and Olivia Schuringa both were named to the all-Metro Suburban Conference Red Division team. Olivia Hoekstra and Ava Venema both earned honorable-mention all-conference honors.

Venema, Hoekstra, Allison Zeilstra, Tyra Hopson and Hope Zastrow

are the five seniors graduating. Timothy returns five players from this year’s team.

“Allison and Olivia are our two senior captains,” said Strube. “The seniors did a great job for us.”

Strube singled out Zastrow for her contributions to the team while battling through a medical issue. “Hope was amazing for us all season,” said Strube. “She was so supportive and encouraging throughout the season.

She was great. We had a lot of fun this season.”

IC Catholic Prep wins regional title

Knights edge Timothy Christian for crown; Meurer scores 19 points

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The IC Catholic Prep boys basketball team’s late-season surge has netted it some coveted hardware.

The Knights edged crosstown neighbor Timothy Christian 53-52 to win their own Class 2A IC Catholic Prep regional title.

The Knights advance to the Class 2A Guerin Prep sectional in River Grove. The Knights played Chicago Orr earlier this week in the semifinals.

The win against Timothy featured 24 lead changes and nine ties. “Timothy played extremely well,” said IC Catholic Prep coach TJ Tyrrell.

“That is an extremely well-coached team. Coach (Jack) LeGrand gets a lot out of his players. They have a player, Brandon Orange, who is a tough matchup because of his size.

We contained him as much as we could.”

IC Catholic Prep drained 14 of

15 free-throws in the tight contest.

“That ended up being key for us in the game,” said Tyrrell.

Alex Meurer led the Knights with 19 points. “Alex had another big game for us,” said Tyrrell.

Luke Ricobene scored the game-winning basket for IC Catholic Prep. Timothy Christian missed a shot to win it in the waning seconds.

“When Luke went up in the air it looked like he was floating for two seconds. He was able to put it in and we went up for good,” said Tyrrell. “This was very exciting. It was another balanced team effort. It was great to be able to do it on our home court. The stands were packed on both sides. Both schools were well-represented. There was a lot of energy. It was a great atmosphere for high-school basketball.”

IC Catholic Prep won its first regional title since 2014. This was Tyrrell’s second regional title as head coach and sixth appearance in

a regional title game.

Amari Reed had 10 points. Ricobene added eight points, six rebounds and four assists. Kevin Cheng had seven points, while Matt Sutton also had seven. Cheng had three assists.

Tyrrell said the sectional field at Guerin Prep is loaded with talented teams. Elgin St. Edward faces DePaul Prep in the other sectional semifinal.

“Chicago Orr is extremely athletic and is having an outstanding year,” said Tyrrell. “We have the toughest sectional in the state in Class 2A. Orr beat Chicago Uplift in the regional and those are two teams that have been ranked in the Top 10 in the Chicago area and in the Associated Press 2A poll. DePaul Prep also is ranked up there.”

IC Catholic Prep ran its winning streak to eight games in a row and 10 of its last 11.

“We are playing well right now,”

said Tyrrell. “We are playing as a team. We’ve really come together. We’ve had good shot selection and we’re making better decisions.

We’re playing good team defense.

Everybody is focused and on the same page. We’ve also found a pretty good rotation with the guys.”

IC Catholic Prep shared the Metro Suburban Conference Blue Division title this season with Aurora Central Catholic. It was Tyrrell’s third conference title as head coach and first in the MSC. “We split with Aurora Central Catholic. We lost at their place and beat them here,” said Tyrrell. “Winning the conference is huge. We felt good going into the season, but Riverside-Brookfield had won the conference for more than 10 years.

We knew we had to knock them off that first game and we did that, but then we lost to Aurora Central and Glenbard South and started out conference play 1-2.”

The Knights then won nine conference games in a row to close out the slate. “We played a lot of very close games in conference but we pulled it out,” said Tyrrell. “It’s pretty cool to win this conference with all these big schools in it. It was a battle every game against some very good teams.”

IC Catholic Prep moved to 21-7 with the win against Timothy. It’s the Knights’ third 20-win season under Tyrrell.

Earlier, the Knights defeated Guerin Prep in the regional semifinals. IC Catholic Prep led 49-21 at halftime.

Cheng had 17 points, while Reed had 14 points. Tony Gaudio had eight points. The Knights had 16 team assists.

“Our kids expect to win,” said Tyrrell. “Going into the game against Timothy they guys were not too high or low. They were ready to play and showed their composure.”

By Mike Miazga Correspondent The boys diving state finals meet has become old hat for York senior Peter Barabolak.

The Dukes’ senior recently competed in his fourth state finals meet in a row. Barabolak recorded a score of 206.50 to advance out of the preliminary round at state and then took 13th in the semifinals with a score of 315.65. He finished one place out of qualifying for the finals.

“Time has gone by fast,” said Barabolak in reflecting on his York career earlier last week. “This year I’ve done everything the same that I have been doing last year. It’s all about consistency. The consistency has come along and all my dives this year are cleaner, better and more consistent.”

Barabolak noted his dives have large degrees of difficulty. “With the first five dives you want those dives to be the highest degree of difficulty,” he explained. “You stack the dives and this year it’s paid off.”

The senior said his favorite dive is his front 2 ½ tuck. “It’s my best dive this year,” he said. “Overall I’ve competed with it in every meet this year. It‘s my

most consistent dive and it’s the most fun. I like to flip a lot and flip quickly. I’m the most confident with it.

It’s always fun to see how many points I can get on it.”

Barabolak scored a 497 at the sectional. His alltime high is 504, set last year at the sectional. The 504 remains the York school record for divers.

“It’s an accomplishment to get to the state meet again,” he said earlier last week. “I’m also a little nervous because there is so much tough competition this year. There are a lot of good divers in the state.”

Barabolak will hang up the diving uniform going forward. He’s going to focus on academics and had narrowed his choices down to two schools.

“I’d like to study engineering,” he said. “I want to focus on my school wherever I go because it’s going to be tough. That’s the main focus I want to have.”

Barabolak said being part of this year’s York team was a rewarding experience.

“Our team is very good this year,” he said. “We got a lot better. We have a few freshmen that came in with a lot of background in the sport and were able to go to the varsity level right away. Also, our seniors have done very well this year. They’ve stepped up and really pushed themselves and it shows.”

The York boys swimming team was well-represented at the recent IHSA state finals meet at New Trier High School.

York had four individuals in the meet. Senior diver Peter Barabolak took 15th in the preliminary diving round with a score of 206.50, which

earned him a place in the semifinals.

Barabolak then placed 13th with a score of 315.65 and finished one place out of qualifying for the diving finals.

Senior Flanagan Waldherr took 18th in the 500 with a time of 4:42.53.

Senior Alex Marlott was 31st in the backstroke with a time of 53.37.

Freshman Branko Kosanovich was 33rd with a time of 52.41.

In addition to qualifying four individuals for the state meet, York also took third as a team at the sectional

this season.

IC Catholic Prep boys basketball The IC Catholic Prep boys’ basketball team not only won a Class 2A regional title recently but also had a qualifier for this week’s Class 2A three-point shooting sectional round.

Matt Sutton was one of four individuals to qualify out of the Class 2A IC Catholic Prep regional. Sutton will shoot this week at the Class 2A Guerin Prep sectional for a chance to compete in next weekend’s Class 2A state 3-point shooting finals in Peoria.

Waldherr finished 18th in the preliminary round of the 500 at state with a time of 4:42.53.

Waldherr was one of four York swimmers/divers to make the state meet this season along with Alex Marlott, Peter Barabolak and freshman Branko Kosanovich. The Independent has a profile of Barabolak in this issue and will feature Marlott and Kosanovich in next week’s edi-

tion.

“I learned how to swim the 500 a little bit better this year,” said Waldherr earlier last week. “I got better at swimming it along with the other people in the pool. I learned it was more about racing the other people in the pool and pushing myself more.”

Waldherr said he preferred swimming the 500. “I had endurance,” he said. “If I had to swim a short 50 or 100, I couldn’t do it. I’m not a sprinter. I can hold on longer than most.”

Waldherr was thrilled with the amount of swimmers (and diver) York qualified for state this year.

“That’s awesome to have three swimmers and diver,” he said. “It’s the best this team’s done in a while.”

Waldherr has seen his swimming acumen take a leap forward over the last four years. “Freshman year I didn’t even swim the 500,” he said.

“How I got started in the 500 is a good question. There was a freshman invite where they had a 400, which isn’t even a real race. I did the 400 and won the freshman meet. I kept swimming the breaststroke but the next season I started focusing more on the distance races. From there it was just about all I did.”

Waldherr has fond memories of his time in the York boys’ program. “It’s been a great time,” he said. “Being a senior it’s tough because the state meet is the last time I’ll do it in high school. It’s been one big family.”

Waldherr would like to continue his swimming career at the next level. “I’m not sure exactly where I’m going, but I definitely know I want to swim,” he said. “I’m looking at a lot of smaller schools. It’s definitely something I want to keep doing, but right now I have no idea specifically where I will end up.”

Waldherr said he would like to study electrical engineering in college. “I have some interest in robotics,” he said. “That’s something I would like to get exposure to in college.”

Waldherr is no slouch in the classroom either. In fact, he’s in the running for earning National Merit Scholar finalist designation.

Achieving a goal

“The National Merit thing is really crazy,” he said. “There’s a test and application. A lot of work went into it. That’s really cool to be able to say you’ve gotten to that point. It’s an accomplishment.”

Waldherr said he’s slated to receive word in March if he is a finalist.

“Academics are extremely important,” he said. “The first thing our coach (Mark Laurich) says to us from freshmen to seniors is your first goal is to be an academic all-conference selection. He tells us we’re students first and athletes after that.”

For Waldherr success has come in both arenas—standout swimmer and accomplished student.

Lauren Gould helps the York girls bowling team advance to the state finals tournament

By Mike Miazga

CORRESPONDENT

York junior girls bowler Lauren Gould had an inkling her team could have a good year.

“But we knew it would take a lot of work to get done,” she said. “It wasn’t going to be easy. Our coaches (said) the whole season ‘when we get to state,’ not ‘if we get to state.’ That was very different. That helped us get there. They had so much confidence in us.”

York’s strong year indeed did end with the team in the state finals tournament near Rockford. Gould led the way with an 1,133 series that included a 256 high game (that featured one string of six strikes in a row).

“We had a lot of girls on the team

that had very good mental attitudes,” said Gould. “That’s important because I would say 90 percent of the game is mental.”

Gould said a lot of her improvement this season had to do with the mental side of the game.

“I worked on staying focused,” she said. “That can be really hard considering how loud it can get in the alley.

In bowling if you are not 110 percent focused on your mark and your mind is somewhere else, you have no chance of hitting the head pin.”

Gould laughs about how she became involved in the sport freshman year.

“I have no idea why I started,” she said. “The funny part of the story is I was going to try out for the team with

us. That was amazing. Our coaches are amazing. This is a sport where it’s somewhere I want to be every week.

Other sports sometimes you seem to find a reason why you don’t want to go on a particular day. There is nothing like bowling.”

Gould raised her average this year from an estimated 160 to the 180 range. “I didn’t do a lot of work over this past summer and that’s something I’m going to try to change this year,” she said. “Practicing is going to be my biggest step to improving when next season comes around. I’m going to

work on things like concentration and getting the 10 pin. If your concentration is off and your mark is off by like three boards and you do one small thing wrong, it will ruin the rest of the shot. Missing the 10 pin adds up and it can hurt your team’s score.”

Gould, an honor-roll student at York, already is looking forward to the 2017-2018 season. “We don’t only want to make it to state, we want to get to the second day of state and try to take home a trophy as a team,” she said. “I want to go to state again with the whole team.”

Timothy Christian’s Strube qualifies for state 3-point shooting finals Turns in strong performance in Normal

a friend and then she kind of bailed on me. It was the day of the tryout and I figured I’m a freshman and I’m supposed to be getting out and doing things and joining clubs, so let’s do this and let’s give it a shot. Now it’s something where I’m going to focus on bowling my senior year (She previously played softball as well).”

Gould is a big fan of the team aspect in the sport. “I like the energy the sport brings,” she said. “It’s a team atmosphere. It’s way better than playing any other sport. At our sectional meet our coaches were so excited for

Timothy Christian sophomore girls basketball player Jordyn Strube performed well on the big stage recently.

Strube competed in the Class 2A state 3-point shooting finals at Redbird Arena on the campus of Illinois State University in Normal.

Strube made eight 3-pointers in Group 3 of the preliminary round, falling one 3-pointer shy of potentially advancing to the Class 2A finals.

Numerous players tied with nine 3-pointers made, which necessitated a shoot-off.

“Being only a sophomore and going to the 3-point finals is pretty cool,” Strube said earlier last week.

At the sectional round at Lisle that determined who would qualify for state, Strube admitted to having some butterflies.

“The day of it I was a little nervous, but when I got up to shoot I reminded myself I had to go shoot like I normally do, just like I did at the regionals,” she said. “Once I got up

there the nerves started to calm down.

Once I got into a rhythm I started to make them.”

Strube made nine 3-pointers at the sectional level and tied for first at Lisle. She advanced to sectionals after making six at the regional level.

“I like shooting from the top (of the key) and on the right side,” she said. “I’ve been shooting a lot lately.

I took a little break (over last weekend) and then started shooting again (last Monday). I shoot the 15 balls just like in the competition. I do those over and over.”

Strube also saw her game take steps forward this season on the varsity level where she played for her mother, Michele, Timothy’s head girls’ coach.

“I improved a lot on ball handling,” she said. “I definitely needed to step it up on the varsity team. There was more pressure and we saw a lot more man-to-man defense. I got a lot better at it.”

Strube said going from the lower levels to the varsity was a big step. “It was an adjustment in the beginning,” she said. “I was used to playing at the lower levels and then you go up to varsity and it’s a lot more difficult. I got used to it pretty fast.”

Strube tallied 14 points, 10 rebounds and five assists to go with three blocks and a perfect 12-for-12 on free throws in the team’s regional semifinal win. She had 16 points, nine rebounds and two assists in the regional final loss to Lisle.

Strube said playing for her mom has mainly positives to it. “It can be a little hard at times,” she said. “I sometimes will get the worst of what she’s saying, but that’s only a little here and there. It’s fun to be coached by your parents (her dad is the varsity assistant). I have learned a lot from them.”

She added it’s been a thrill to see her brother, Jonny, develop in the Timothy boys basketball program.

“My brother, honestly, is the one who got me going with this,” she said. “I would see him playing and want to do my best. I got going in basketball because I saw him. I like that basketball is a team sport. I like playing with my teammates and I like the team aspect of everything.”

Strube is excited about the prospects for next season. “It’s sad that all the seniors are leaving,” she said. “At the same time, we have some girls coming back and some younger girls coming up who will help us.”

“We have a good group,” said Walsh. “We have to make sure we are knocking down shots and playing hard and playing as a team. We’re very capable of playing good basketball. We have improved quite a bit over the season. Things have been clicking. We have a lot of confidence heading into the playoffs.”

ness and the speed you play at and being on a team. I really enjoy that.”

When a player is injured in sports there is the old philosophy of “next man up.”

That most definitely has been the case with York sophomore boys basketball player Sam Walsh. When Nick Kosich was injured recently, Walsh saw an uptick in his minutes.

“As I started playing more and more minutes, I started getting more confident,” said Walsh, who through the team’s first 27 games was averaging 3.9 points and 2.7 rebounds per game while shooting 62 percent from the field. “Throughout the year that confidence has helped me produce more.”

Even though he’s only a sophomore, Walsh was ready to get down to business on the varsity court. “I was looking forward to playing more,” he said. “I’m never really nervous when I go into a game because I know my teammates are always there for me.”

And going against senior-age players also is a non-issue. “My aggressiveness is the best part of my game,” he said. “I won’t back off guys who are bigger than me. I’m not afraid just because I’m a sophomore and seniors are way stronger than me. I’m going to continue being aggressive. I love it out there. It’s a lot of fun. I love the competition and I love competing against good players.”

Walsh is a native of Northern California and his family moved to the area when he was in seventh grade.

His father played quarterback at Cal Berkeley and his mother was a swimmer.

“I grew up around sports,” he said.

“Both my parents were college athletes and my siblings played sports.

I followed my family playing basketball at a young age. I love the speed of the game. I’ve always had a passion for basketball. When I was a kid I followed it. I love the aggressive-

Armpit Orchestra to honor Sutherland’s memory

Cancer Center fundraising effort takes place through St. Pat’s Parade

For the 9th straight year the men of the “World Famous” Elmhurst Armpit Orchestra (aka “EAO”) will entertain those attending the Elmhurst St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The EAO, featured on WGN radio and a segment with ABC channel 7 TV’s Frank Mathie, is an annual Parade favorite. This year’s parade is scheduled to step off on Saturday, March 4 at 12 noon on Spring Road. The EAO plays familiar tunes on kazoos, bucket drums, vuvuzelas, cowbell,

judicial handzoo, stumpf fiddle and other unconventional instruments.

Again this year, the group will feature the World’s Largest Drum, built as a tribute to its inspiration, actor and comedian Bill Murray. They are again hopeful Bill will attend the March 4th parade and lead them down Spring Road.

This year, the men of the EAO will be marching with heavy hearts, as 2014 EAO Queen Colleen Sutherland lost her battle with breast cancer

in October. Queen Colleen and her husband Scott have graciously hosted a large pre-parade gathering for the members of the EAO and their families for the past eight years.

“Colleen epitomized the cheerful spirit of the Elmhurst St. Patrick’s Day Parade,” said EAO third-chair kazooist Bob Hedrick. “She so looked forward each year to entertaining the families of the EAO and especially enjoyed making the day fun for children. She would decorate

the gathering tent in the spirit of the occasion and help provide food for the families. Colleen loved Parade Day. “It is difficult to imagine this year’s parade without her, but her memory keeps us strong and we will march with her in our hearts.”

The EAO will honor Sutherland posthumously with its Distinguished Service Award at a ceremony the morning of March 4. Also, she will be bestowed the title, “EAO Queen

Emeritus and Eternal Lady of the Royal Court.” Most importantly, her memory will be honored through a fundraising effort for the Elmhurst Memorial Hospital Infusion Center.

The Center, located within the Nancy W. Knowles Cancer Center at the Hospital, provided professional, caring treatment to Colleen as part of her fight with the disease.

“We were so fortunate to have the amazing staff at Elmhurst Hospital’s Infusion Center providing care for both Colleen and our family,” said Colleen’s husband Scott. “They really encourage the family to be part of a patient’s wellness. We will be forever grateful to them.”

The Armpit Orchestra will raise funds for the Hospital’s Infusion Center by selling pink shamrocks to be attached to its treasured instrument, ‘Mary, The World’s Largest Drum’. Small shamrocks can be purchased for as little as $5, while larger shamrocks may be purchased for $20 or more. Purchasers can write their name or the name of an honoree on their shamrock. The shamrocks will adorn the drum as it traverses the parade route on March 4.

Shamrocks may be purchased in person from 10:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. in front of the Ahlgrim Funeral Home (567 Spring Road) on March 4. Donations by check may be sent by mail to Elmhurst Memorial Hospital Foundation, 155 E. Brush Hill Road, Elmhurst, IL 60126, payable to the same. Mailed donations should indicate “EAO” or “Colleen” on the memo line or accompanying note.

Those wishing to donate online may do so by visiting the Parade website referenced below and clicking on the “EAO Honor Colleen Donation” link (reference ‘EAO’ or ‘Colleen’ in the comments and the gift type is ‘Hope Lives Here Campaign’).

The 21st Annual Elmhurst St. Patrick’s Day Parade steps off at noon on Saturday, March 4, 2017 from Spring Road and Wilson Avenue in Elmhurst.

Elmhurst St. Patrick’s Day Parade

Entertainment abounds on Spring Road March 4 Now ranked as the second largest St. Patrick’s Parade in the Chicago area, a record crowd is expected, especially if the weather is nice.

Almost every year, the parade has

been blessed with a sunny day, even if it has been cold. The few years it has been gloomy, overcast or even raining, the crowd hasn’t dwindled much.

Musical bands and entertainment will take place prior to the parade at three locations along Spring Road: In front of Ahlgrim Funeral Home at Vallette; at the Prairie Path; and at

We are OPEN on the day of the St. Patrick’s Parade Be sure to stop by for Fun Activities and Delicious Treats!

McKinley. After the parade, several establishments in the area will have their own music. The Spring Inn is always a lively place to visit after (and during) the Parade, where they will offer live music from 1-4 p.m.

Doc Ryan’s, right in the heart of the action, will serve up green beer and corned beef sandwiches, hot or cold.

Toward the end of the parade, the parking lot at Jack’s Silverado Grill is always packed with people. Inside Silverado will host live entertainment after the parade performed by the band Summit, which will continue into the evening.

The parade features floats, marching units, entries from local businesses, clubs and organizations and animated characters including local team mascots Benny the Bull, Southpaw and Tommy Hawk. Other entertainment during the parade will be provided by the Chicago Highlanders, the Medinah Clowns, the Shannon Rovers and the troupes of Irish Dancers from the many dance schools in the area. The York High School marching band will participate as always and, of course, the Elmhurst Armpit Orchestra that entertains every year, usually offering a new unusual instrument every year.

Perhaps the best news of all is that the Elmhurst Trolley will run before and after the parade (see related story elsewhere in this section), which means it will be easy to get around without driving after consuming too much green beer. The trolley begins at 9:30 a.m., making all its usual stops, then will discontinue during
