Late last week, the Elmhurst Police Department reported that it was investigating the recovery of a deceased body which was found in the Elmhurst-Chicago Stone Quarry located at West Ave. & First Street on Friday, April 21. Police officers and fire personnel searching the west side of the quarry for a missing-endangered person from Elmhurst discovered the body of a deceased male in his early 20’s at the bottom of the quarry at 12:40 p.m. The DuPage County Coroner’s Office responded to the scene and transported the body to the Coroner’s office in Wheaton for further examination. It was believed at that time that the body may be that of the missing-endangered person reported to police on April 14, 2017. On April 23, 2017, a positive identification of the missing subject was made through dental records. The subject has been identified as Justin Antony 24, of Elmhurst, who had been reported missing about a week prior.

Members of the Elmhurst Garden Club got help from clients of the Ray Graham facility on Madison in Elmhurst on Earth Day, Saturday, April 22, when they gathered to clean up the grounds and plant flowers around the building. Pictured here, everyone receives a plant to clean up and get ready to go into the ground. American Gardens in Elmhurst donated about 30 flats of flowers to the cause.

Last week, DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin issued a statement to explain the findings of an investigation into the incident, which led to a DuPage County Sheriff’s Deputy shooting Villa Park resident Trevon Johnson on January 1, 2017. The statement began: “After a thorough and extensive investigation surrounding the shooting of Trevon Johnson by a DuPage County Deputy Sheriff, it is my determination that the officer, Deputy Scott Kuschell, who discharged his weapon five times, striking Mr. Johnson four times, was completely justified in his actions and that no criminal charges will be filed against the officer.” [Ed. note: For space reasons, only portions of the statement are printed here. Berlin’s full statement can be found on the web site at theindependentnewspapers.com.] Details from night of event explained According to Berlin’s statement, on January 1, 2017, at approximately 11:26 p.m., DuPage County Deputy Sheriff Kuschell responded to one of three 9-1-1 calls of a domestic violence incident in progress at a residence in unincorporated Villa Park, placed by Ricquia Jones, Trevon’s sister. On the call, Jones can be heard yelling:

“Please, please, please bring the police now… Oh my God… he needs to go, he needs to go to jail… that’s my brother, he’s destroyed the whole entire house, he’s taking knives, he’s got glass and he’s pulling all the braids out of my hair.” Trevon’s brother Robert Pelts placed a second call to 9-1-1, saying, “My brother’s going crazy.” Asked if Trevon had knives on him, Pelts replied: “Ah, yeah. He threatened people.” Pelts also said Trevon had broken some glass and that he was “throwing glass on people.” Details of actual shooting Approaching the home, Kuschell heard yelling and a loud crash, which sounded like broken glass, coming from inside. He drew his service weapon as he continued toward the house. Once inside, he saw Pelts at the top of a stairway. Kuschell asked him to come down, which he did. While searching Pelts for weapons, Kuschell heard footsteps running down the stairs towards him. He pushed Pelts out of the way and saw a man, later identified as Trevon Johnson, leaping toward him, wielding a pointy three- to four-inchlong, one-half to three-quarters-inchwide dull grey metal knife-like object in his right hand, raised above his head. Berlin’s statement said Johnson was ordered by Kuschell to “put it down” but Johnson kept coming toward him.

tinued. “Investigators also recovered a butter knife from the living room floor, and 12 knives, including eight butter knives; three steak knives; and one butcher knife from the kitchen counter and sink. “The above facts have been evaluated in the context of Illinois law governing the justifiable use of deadly force. Given the violent actions of Mr. Johnson, his refusal to obey police commands along with his actions of thrusting and then throwing the trophy at the deputy, the deputy acted lawfully and was justified in using deadly force by discharging his weapon in order to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or other residents of Details of the investigation Illinois State Police Crime Scene the home.” Services Command, who conducted the investigation, recovered five spent Winchester .40 caliber Smith and Wesson shell casings from the living room floor, several braids of dark colored hair from the living room floor, DORINE STEFANI, 82 Dorine B.

On Monday, April 24, Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 Superintendent Dr. David Moyer joined more than 390 school chiefs from across the state, representing 1.3 million students, in calling for the Illinois General Assembly to immediately pass a state budget. The grassroots initiative - called “Pass Illinois’ Budget!” - also urges lawmakers and Governor Rauner to improve the state’s education funding formula, and pay school districts millions of dollars owed in unpaid bills this year. As legislators return to Springfield following their spring break, school districts are using school marquees to share their frustration with the state budget crisis and taking to social media with a call to #PassILBudget. The state now owes District 205 $3,670,579 as of April 24, 2017 and has been operating without a full budget for the past 22 months. “I stand with more than 390 superintendents from across the state in a call for action,” said Dr. Moyer. “We need to end the impasse now and move forward with a budget that will serve the two million K-12 Illinois public school students who represent our future.” The superintendents are calling on members of the Illinois General Assembly and the Governor to do the following: • Immediately, and with bipartisan support, end the state budget impasse. • Improve the state’s education funding formula and invest in students and schools, including higher education,

throughout the state • Pay school districts what they are owed this year. While K-12 education has benefited from a partially-funded state budget, Illinois schools, students, families, and communities will continue to suffer without a full state budget. Districts will continue to struggle if “Mandated Categoricals,” state payments which support special education, bilingual education, transportation, and other important services, do not get paid this year. District 205 has not received three categorical payments this year. Here are the largest funds due: • Transportation - $990,078.06 • Special Education - $2,616,602.18 • State Free Lunch - $1,818.25 • Driver’s Education - $22,080.28 • Early Childhood - $40,000.00 State revenue accounts for about 8.13 percent of District 205’s operating budget or $9,341,790. The General State Aid payments, which support general operating expenses, are being paid on time, however, the categorical payments are not. District 205 has not received any categorical payments this year with the exception of one late quarter payment from last fiscal year. “Because this money reimburses costs to existing programming, and because the majority of these services are required by law, the District will likely have to consider either spending down its fund balance, which is an unsustainable solution, or study options to reduce spending in other programming areas in which discretionary decisions

Elmhurst Brewing Company prepares to open Owners with strong ties to community insist on authenticity

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

On Thursday, April 20, the Independent was invited to a sneak-preview of the new Elmhurst Brewing Company at 171 No. Addison. The facility has been in the works for several months now but is getting closer

and closer to coming to fruition as the building is being reconstructed into the restaurant and brewing facility it will soon be. Owners Pete Dolan and Frazer Donaldson, good friends who met through Larry and Pat Reedy of Reedy Real Estate, have been mov-

ing closer and closer to the finished project, thanks to a group of silent investors along with financial assistance from Community Bank of Elmhurst (CBE). As Elmhurst residents, both men are committed to the community and to using as many local companies as possible in their endeavors. “We used CBE because it is the local community bank and we want to do everything using the resources of the Elmhurst community wherever and whenever possible,” said Donaldson. The building will have an indoor bar and restaurant as well as an outdoor garden that will be completely blocked off from Addison Street traffic for the enjoyment of the guests. Indoors there will be a 46-seat mezzanine level that looks out over the beer garden. In the back is a separate building area that will house the onsite brewery. The brewhouse will be on a 15-barrel system and barrels will be stacked behind the bar, creating a pleasing visual effect. The restaurant will be family-friendly with an indoor children’s area with toys and their own kidsized couch. Donaldson and Dolan both praised the City, saying the new parking deck on Addison was a big factor in their choice of location. They also talked about how easy it was working with

the City on all the necessary steps along the way. “They were very easy to work with at the City of Elmhurst,” Donaldson said. “You could tell they were excited to have us here and encouraged us along the way. We can’t say enough

about Assistant City Manager Mike Kopp, Mayor [Steve] Morley, Than Werner, Bruce Dubiel and Elmhurst Police Chief [Michael Ruth].” Dolan said they have about five to six months to go, but hope to be open sometime in the early fall.

Obituaries

ARNOLD R. SCHENK, 98 Long-time community leader, volunteer Arnold R. Schenk of Elmhurst, May 23, 1918 - April 18, 2017, passed away following a decline in his health. His wife of 75 years, Dora, passed away in January of this year.

Service to community and church, involvement with family, support of orchestra and opera in the Chicago area, engagement in travel to experience history and natural beauty, and a rich home life ...these elements came to light in the person of Arnold Schenk. Arnold attended high school and junior college in the Morgan Park area of Chicago and graduated from the University of Illinois in 1939, where he met Dora. His love of Boy Scouting led him to a career with the Boy Scouts of America. During the following 42 years Arnold held executive positions in Peoria IL, Beloit WI, Alton Ill., and Madison Wisc. Later he was on the Region 7 staff based in Oak Brook, the Chicago Area Council, and a national representative of Boy’s Life Magazine. His dedication to community ser-

vice manifested itself in his involvement in the Rotary Club of Elmhurst, Boy Scout Retiree programs, service in many capacities with the First Congregational Church of Elmhurst, Walk-In Ministry, Elmhurst College and Community Committee, and other organizations. Arnold’s love of symphonic and operatic music as well as his organizational capabilities benefited the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra where he was a board member for many years and the Chicago Lyric Opera for which he lectured locally to give background information on current performances. A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, June 17, 2017 at 1 p.m., at the First Congregational Church of Elmhurst, 235 S. Kenilworth Ave., with a reception to follow at the church from 2-5 p.m..

We keep our toaster in the cupboard. Early in our marriage, this was a point of contention. My husband grew up in a home where the toaster sat on the counter. My family housed the breakfast appliance in the cupboard. As newlyweds, each of us was comfortable and happy with our own location of origin. But we couldn’t have it both ways – unless we got two toasters or a divorce and neither of those seemed like a viable option. One of us would have to compromise. With this issue, I managed to talk him over to my side. But over the years I’ve acquiesced a time or two in his direction. Marriage is a partnership. And cooperation. And changing where you keep your toaster or how you fold your socks. And change is hardly ever easy. But this isn’t about marriage. It’s about toasters. Toaster location, to be exact. You might be surprised that there are actual articles written about the location of one’s toaster. I was surprised. Bloggers are blogging about toasters and people like me are Googling those blogs. The chatter is mostly about cleanliness and decluttering one’s kitchen. One might think a person who stores their toaster in the cupboard is neater than one who leaves it on the counter. I don’t think this is the case. I stumbled on this concept last week while eating a piece of toast and thereafter putting the toaster away. As I did, I noted the appliance was a crumb-laden, scorch-filled mess – far from what I’d call neat. The cupboard wasn’t much better. It, too, was littered with crumbs. Each time someone puts the toaster in the cupboard a few crumbs fall out the bottom, accumulating over time. We don’t notice, really, because the toaster sits atop the crumbs and the cupboard door shuts and our mess is out of sight, out of mind. If I kept my toaster on the counter, I wouldn’t be able to ignore a pileup of crumbs. I’d probably wipe them away every morning after breakfast. I’d be more cognizant of the appearance of my toaster and more prone to give it a quick swipe with a soapy dishcloth or paper towel. People who keep their toasters

(and myriad other household objects) in the cupboard might appear decluttered, but they may be a whole lot messier than someone with an overloaded countertop. Just because you can’t see someone’s toast crumbs doesn’t mean they aren’t there. I said this column was about toasters. I guess I lied. It’s about life and crumbs and what we do with them – because we all have crumbs and splotches on our stainless and scorched spots where we’d rather not be scorched. We all wrestle with real issues and problems and wonder if our efforts are enough or if we should be trying harder. We worry and ruminate about the metaphorical crumbs in our life that won’t even be a metaphorical blip on our radar in a year, much less five. We get tired sometimes. We all struggle with how to keep our toasters and cupboards and counters squeaky clean – or at least have them appear that way to others. This makes me sigh. Let’s just say I have crumbs, and I know you do too. But crumbs are inconsequential. They aren’t important in the big scheme. I won’t point yours out if you’ll return the favor. I’d love it if we could agree to embrace our collective crumbs and get on with the much more important business of living. Now on to tackling the issue of how to fold socks… Jill Pertler is an award-winning syndicated columnist, published playwright, author and member of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists.

Celebrating Earth Day Garden Club helps Ray Graham clean up yard, plant new flowers

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

It was a beautiful Earth Day on Saturday, April 22, when a dozen or so members of the Elmhurst Garden Club came to the Ray Graham facility on Madison in Elmhurst to join residents in helping to clean up the

yards and to plant new flats of flowers. American Gardens donated about 30 flats of flowers to the project that really perked up the look of the entire building. RGA clients were delighted to take part in the effort and were especially happy to see the end result. DEE LONGFELLOW PHOTOS Elmhurst Independent

IC Catholic Prep Knight of Jewels Gala a huge success

Saturday, March 18, IC Catholic Prep hosted its 47th annual Knight of Jewels Gala with the theme of “Celebrate the Knight,” paying homage to the Knights of past, present, and future. The Hyatt Lodge in Oak Brook provided the perfect backdrop to showcase this year’s walk down memory lane. The evening began with a red carpet style photo opportunity for arriving guests while ICCP alumnus Ben

Johnson, from the Class of 2016, performed on the piano. dancing to live entertainment by SPG Trio, and fond memories of the traditions of ICCP. This year’s keynote speaker was Bill Krefft (’03), ICCP Head Football Coach of the 2016 IHSA Class 3A State Championship Team. Coach Krefft delivered a moving message about ICCP’s overall commitment to excellence for its students, athletes, and alumni, which has created a deep and strong foundation for the many

generations of students yet to come. Guests also had the opportunity to hear from freshman Louis Narcisi and senior Autumn Gage as they reflected on what it means to them to be a Knight. The Knight of Jewels is the high school’s largest fundraiser of the year, providing alumni, benefactors, families, friends and the community an opportunity to enjoy a fabulous evening while raising funds for the school. Proceeds from this event will help to transform the lives of ICCP

students through enhanced academic and extra curricular programs, updated technology throughout the campus, and professional development of the faculty and staff. This year’s event, chaired by Jim and Maureen Kenneally and Steve and Terry Remy, included a new format for fundraising. Instead of bidding on trips, sports tickets, or spa baskets, guests were asked to open their hearts through Fund a Knight and ICCP is proud to announce that more than $225,000 was raised! Do-

nations to Fund A Knight are still welcome and openings are still available for the Buy-In Parties.

The York Community High School Econ Challenge team of John Fetscher, Jason Kentra, Frank Luse and Flanagan Waldherr took second place in the 2017 Illinois Economic Challenge (ILEC) state finals. There were 165 teams from 20 different schools that competed in the first online round earlier this spring. Ten teams of four competed in the state finals held Friday, April 7, in DeKalb. “It was an exciting competition as the final quiz bowl round went into double overtime against Stevenson High School,” said York social studies teacher and Econ Challenge coach, Tamra Carl. The Lieutenant Governor spoke before the quiz bowl round and took pictures with each of the ten schools after the competition. A second York HS team comprised of Tim Baer, David Cooke, Kevin Rachwalski and Katerina Siavelis, finished fourth. This year’s finalists included students from the following schools: Adlai Stevenson High School (Lincolnshire), Hinsdale South High School, York Community High School, Edwardsville High School, Neuqua Valley High School (Naperville) and Saint Ignatius College Prep (Chicago).

Danielle Woodward’s roller coaster ride with the rare autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis (“MG”) began last year. “There were days I didn’t know if I could step up to the train for my morning commute,” the avid exerciser explained. With surgery and medication, “I thought I had it solved…but then it came back even worse.” The local organization Conquer Myasthenia Gravis checked in with Danielle recently and found additional at-home treatment has put her MG symptoms in check once again. “I’m hoping to make it to this year’s Strides Against MG Walk,” she said. “After all your support, that would be great.” Conquer MG will hold its fifth annual Strides Against MG Walk on Sunday, June 4 at 8:30 a.m. at Berens Park, 493 Oaklawn Avenue. Registration starts at 8 a.m. Donate or register for the benefit walk and kids’ dash at myastheniagravis.org/2017walk. Participant fee is $30 per walker ($35 day of the walk); $10 per child under age 12. Participants can enjoy the walk’s family fun with live music, bubbles, hula hoops and raffle prizes. Proceeds will help fund Conquer Myasthenia Gravis programs of support, education, awareness, and research. MG affects approximately 20 per 100,000 people of any age, race, or gender. Conquer MG (formerly known as the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of Illinois) has been serving myasthenia gravis patients since 1972. The Strides walk has raised more than $60,000 since its inception to fund its services.

Real Estate/Business New Elmhurst Chamber Logo is 100 years in the making In preparation for its 100th Anniversary in 2018, the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry today unveiled a new logo and color palette, as approved at the April 11 Board of Directors meeting. The new logo features a multi-colored leaf from an Elm tree to the right of the organization’s name in two lines, with the top-line words of Elmhurst Chamber in larger and bolder black font. The six Elm leaf colors replicate its changing look during the seasons of one year.

For 2018, a “Centennial Celebration / 1918 - 2018” tagline will run under the Chamber’s name in green, with the words in italic and the dates in bold. “Our logo redesign is but the first step completed towards celebrating 100 years as the leader of Elmhurst’s business community,” stated John R.

About the design company Korzenowski Design, a family-owned and operated Chamber member since 1999, submitted the winning proposal for the logo redesign and completed the project in six weeks.

“We were honored to be selected to redesign the Chamber’s logo, in celebration of their centennial year, and bring the marketing committee’s vision to life,” stated Gigi Korzenowski, owner and president of Korzenowski Design. “The vibrant new logo is an expression of the dynamic range of the Chamber’s work on behalf of local businesses and the community at large—for the past 100 years and into the future.” The Chamber’s Marketing Committee, chaired by First Vice Chair Ken Bartels of Community Bank of Elmhurst, played an instrumental role in the new logo’s development.

Sports York baseball team ups record to 16-2

April 27, 2017 • 23

Dukes run through first half of conference season with 8-1 mark

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York baseball team continues to fire on all cylinders. The Dukes won five more games last week without a loss to run their record to 16-2 overall and 8-1 in West Suburban Conference Silver Division play, which marks the unofficial firsthalf of the conference schedule. “It’s pretty remarkable what we’re doing now in many different ways,” said York coach Dave Kalal. “We’ve had a lot of come-from-behind victories. Of the 16 wins, I’d say six or seven have been late-inning comefrom-behind wins. We are never out of a game.” York started the week with a threegame conference sweep of Proviso West where it outscored its opponent 69-6. In an 18-5 win, York trailed 5-4 heading into the fourth inning, but then scored seven runs in each of the fifth and sixth innings. York had 14 hits. Mike Pastuovic went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI. Nick Lee was 2-for-5 with two runs scored and four RBI. Mike Bernal was 2-for3 with a run scored. Joey Yaeger was 1-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI. Joey Chiappetta went 2-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI. Andrew Deardurff had a hit and scored three runs in one official at-bat. Ryan Ross went 2-for-2 with three runs scored and an RBI. Austin Gelsomino had three run scored and an RBI and Mike Achepohl had an RBI. Chiappetta had two doubles, while Bernal had a double. Lee hit two triples. Burke Corcoran was the winning pitcher. He threw a six-inning complete game and struck out four. In a 26-1 win in five innings against Proviso West, York scored 14 runs in the first inning and six more in the second to take a 20-0 lead. York had 23 hits in the contest. Zach Pflum went 2-for-2 with a run scored and two RBI. Lee went 2-for2 with two runs scored and an RBI. Achepohl had a run scored and an RBI and two walks. Pastuovic had a hit, a run scored and an RBI. Bernal had a hit and an RBI. Kevin Lipkin scored three runs and had an RBI. Elliott Achepohl had a run scored, a hit and two RBI. Yaeger wnet 2-for-4 with three runs scored and two RBI. Jake Hadawi had an RBI. Chiappetta had two hits, two runs scored and two RBI.

Brendan Connell had a hit, an RBI and a run scored. Deardurff had two hits, two runs scored and three RBI. Charlie Pakenas has three hits, two runs scored and two RBI. Ian Steinorth had two hits and two runs scored. Adam Hassler had a hit and two runs scored. Tamiane Durr had a hit, two runs scored and an RBI and Austin Gelsomino had two hits, a run scored and two RBI. Connell, Steinorth, Lee and Pastuovic each had a double, while Deardurff hit a home run. Hadawi was the winning pitcher. He went three innings and allowed two runs, while fanning five. Pakenas pitched the final inning. York concluded the series with a 25-0 win at Proviso West. The Dukes scored 13 runs in the first inning and six more in the second to take a 19-0 lead. York had 21 hits. Pastuovic had two hits, two runs scored and three RBI. Pflum scored two runs and had an RBI. Lee had two hits, two runs scored and two RBI. Elliott Achepohl had a hit, two runs scored and two RBI. Bernal had a hit, a run scored and two RBI. Lipkin had two runs scored and an RBI. Mike Patti had three hits, two runs scored and two RBI. Yaeger had a hit, two runs scored and two RBI. Chiappetta had two hits, two runs scored and an RBI. Connell had three hits, a run scored and two RBI. Deardurff had two hits, two runs scored and an RBI. Mike Achepohl had a run scored and an RBI. Steinorth had two hits, a run scored and two RBI. Hassler had a hit, a run scored and two RBI. Ross scored a run, while Durr had a hit, an RBI and a run scored. Lee had two doubles, while Elliott Achepohl, Durr, Patti, Pastuovic, Chiappetta, Yaeger and Deardurff each had a double. York hit nine doubles in the game. Pastuovic tripled and Bernal hit a home run. Henry Judge was the winning pitcher. He went five innings and allowed one run, while striking out 13 of the 20 batters he faced. Judge allowed five baserunners in the game. York then recorded a 7-4 WSC Silver win over Glenbard West at home. York scored five runs in the first inning en route to the victory. The Dukes had 11 hits. Lee had a hit. Bernal went 3-for-4. Lipkin scored two runs. Yaeger had two hits and two runs scored. Chiappetta had a hit, three RBI and a run scored. Deardurff had a run scored and

two RBI. Stienorth had two hits and an RBI. Ross had two hits. Ross, Bernal and Yaeger each had a double. Pakenas was the winning pitcher. He went 6 2/3 innings, allowing four hits. He struck out seven. Gelsomino pitched the final 1/3 of an inning and picked up the save. York concluded the week with a 2-1 WSC crossover win against Downers Grove South. York won the game in the bottom of the seventh with two runs. Ross’ RBI single won the game. York had three hits in the contest. Ross had two of the hits and drove in both runs. Pastuovic had the other hit, that being a triple. Chiappetta was the winning pitcher in relief. He pitched 2/3 of an inning. Scott Tucker went the first 6 1/3 innings and allowed only five hits and no earned runs. He struck out five. “It’s been everything this year,” said Kalal. “All three phases of the game (hitting, defense and pitching) have been working. It’s been a different guy on the team every game. Our defense and pitching have been phenomenal and that carries you at any level. Offensively, the production has been way up by everybody.” Ross’ game-winning hit followed the recent one by Pastuovic that brought a halt to a 12-inning game. “It’s been a new guy every day lately,” said Kalal. Kalal noted Chiappetta worked out of a bases-loaded jam against Downers Grove South in the top of the seventh inning by retiring the Mustangs’ third and fourth hitters in the batting order. “We’ve been a part of some good high-school baseball lately,” he said. And then York came through at the plate down 1-0 in the bottom of the seventh to Downers South. “It’s been unreal,” said Kalal. “After the Downers Grove South game you almost have to pinch yourself. They were up 1-0 in the seventh. Our first two guys in the seventh walked and then we did a double-steal and Ryan Ross drove both guys in. It’s been one of those years where almost everything you execute and the moves you make work. Everything has fallen into place. The Downers Grove South game was phenomenal high-school baseball. Both teams’ pitching was phenomenal and both teams played solid defense. It was a fun game to be part of.”

IC Catholic Prep softball Timothy Christian girls soccer team making strides team defeats R-B Knights take conference win with 10-run rule

By Mike Miazga

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

CORRESPONDENT

The IC Catholic Prep softball team pounded out 16 hits in a recent 12-2 Metro Suburban Conference Blue Division win against Riverside-Brookfield. The Knights jumped out to an 8-0 lead after three innings thanks in part to a five-run second inning. The Knights scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth to trigger the 10-run rule. Josie Lytton went 4-for-4 in the game. She tripled in the first inning and then singled in the second, fourth and sixth innings. Lytton scored the team’s first run. In the five-run second inning, singles by Brooklyn Campos, Kaitlyn Falduto and Lytton helped trigger the outburst. Kayla Faber-Cournane was the winning pitcher. She struck out four and scattered six hits in a six-inning complete-game effort. Lytton, Natalie Murillo, Daniela Murillo, Alessandra Eccardt and Faber-Cournane had multiple hits in the contest.

York boys lacrosse team wins two overtime thrillers Robertson, Leonard score game-winning goals

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York boys lacrosse team scored two major conference wins lately and did so in dramatic fashion. The Dukes were 8-7 overtime winners at Hinsdale Central and then won 6-5 in extra sessions against Lyons Township. “Those were two very big wins,” said York coach Don Canfield. “In the Lyons game we were down 5-2 with six minutes left. That was a pretty big comeback. We didn’t adjust to much against them and just stuck with our game plan. We found the open guy and buried our chances. Early on, we couldn’t capitalize, but at the end of the game we had some good looks.” Steve Robertson put in the game-winner against Hinsdale Central, while David Leonard had the game-winning goal against Lyons Township. Canfield also cited recent strong play from goalies Finn McCarthy and Artie Renier. “Our goalies have split time,” he

• Baseball

said. “Finn is our first-half goalie and then Artie plays the second half and has played the overtime. Both have done a good job.” York has been bolstered on the defensive end by Pierceson Mapes, Canfield said. “Pierceson has played really well,” the coach said. Gavin Vandenberg has been a spark on the offensive end, while Cory Jaeger has helped the Dukes on faceoffs. The two recent conference wins put York at 6-1 overall and 2-1 in WSC play. York’s only loss was to Glenbard West in conference play. “The kids have a lot of fight in them,” said Canfield. “When we are out there playing games, they are pretty intense. They play hard and they fight for everything throughout the game. They don’t stop. And when it comes time to play, they play very well together. It’s a close-knit group of guys and it’s an easy group of guys to coach. They are very responsive.” York started play earlier this week in the St. Viator tournament against Schaumburg.

Kalal isn’t shocked at the team’s tremendous start. “We knew we had the ability, but being as young as we are right now, we didn’t know if we would produce quite this much yet at the varsity level,” he said. “It’s all come down to the big question mark we had at the beginning of the season and that’s been our pitching. We knew we would play defense and we knew we would score some runs by the way our summer went. We didn’t know about the pitching and our pitching has really stepped up. The guys have got the job done.” York finished the first half of the conference slate at 8-1 and wraps up conference play with three-game se-

ries against Oak Park-River Forest, Hinsdale Central and Lyons Township. “It will be a really exciting next three weeks of the season,” said Kalal. “It’s going to be fun to see how we measure up.” York has been in five one-run games (4-1 record) and four two-run games (3-1 record). “We’ve been able to pull out the close games,” said Kalal. “That’s only going to make us that much better heading into these last three weeks.” York’s only losses this season have been to Downers Grove North in conference (3-2 in 8 innings) and to Lockport in a non-conference game (8-6).

While the Timothy Christian girls soccer team does not have the wins to show for it, coach Jon Hamelinck is seeing his team turn the corner in a number of areas. In recent action, the Trojans lost 2-1 to St. Edward, 4-3 to Hinckley Big Rock and 3-1 to Elmwood Park. On the individual front, Maddie Schaffsma scored eight goals during a recent four-game stretch. “Our defensive coverage has improved dramatically from our first game,” said Hamelinck. “There were a lot of lessons learned in the early part of our season, but the team has made great strides since our spring break and we’re getting closer to playing the way we are capable of. We started out rough in terms of limiting shots against and keeping teams to the outside. We allowed entry into the 18 far too easily. The girls are doing a better job of staying connected on the back end and playing more efficiently in the defensive third.”

“

The girls continue to show up to games ready to play with a belief they have the ability to win every game if they play the right way.” – coach Jon Hamelinck

Hamelinck lauded the efforts of goalie Shayna Smits. “Shayna has been solid in goal and has provided stability every game,” he said. Hamelinck noted the team continues to work on its offensive game. “We got a couple girls back from injury the past couple of days and that has changed our dynamic up top quite a bit,” he said. “They are still figuring out how to play together, but there is potential there.” In addition to scoring those eight

goals in a four-game stretch, Schaffsma registered two assists in a recent four-game stretch as well. Hamelinck also has been pleased with the play of Danielle Beard and Heather Kocol. “Danielle has returned to the lineup and has provided a spark with her hustle and game knowledge,” he said. “Heather has been battling an injury and playing big minutes as a central defender. We are a different team with her in the lineup.” Hamelinck likes the direction the team is headed with the home stretch of the season quickly approaching. “The girls continue to show up to games ready to play with a belief they have the ability to win every game if they play the right way,” he said. “Our record (1-7, 1-1 Metro Suburban Conference Red Division) isn’t a good reflection of the progress we’ve made. Our first couple games of the season were a wakeup call, but we’ve made some great progress lately. We have to continue to work hard at getting better every day and the results will follow.”

York softball team York boys water polo team downs St. Charles defeats Proviso West North and Hinsdale South By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

York boys water-polo player Alex Marlott is having himself quite the time of late in the pool. Marlott scored 26 goals over a recent six-game stretch for the Dukes, who have jumped out to a 12-5-1 record through late last week. York was 4-1 in West Suburban Conference action. In recent games, York was a 19-7 winner over St. Charles North and recorded a 13-6 victory over Hinsdale South. Marlott had six goals against Hinsdale South and four against St. Charles North. “Alex has been dominant,” said York coach Brian Drumm. Drumm was pleased with the squad’s performance in particular

against St. Charles North. “We had our best offensive game of the season against St. Charles North,” he said. “Seven different players scored and most of them scored multiple goals. We changed our offense a little bit after our home tournament and we’ve become more and more comfortable running it.” Drumm likes the balance his team has on offense. “Every one of our starters has the ability to score three or four goals in any game,” he said. “This opens our options and limits our opponents’ opportunities to focus on one or two players.” York also is making progress defensively, Drumm noted. “Our individual defense is much better, meaning more players have been improving their abilities to match up one-on-one with the best individual

players on other teams,” he said. Simon DeGrace, Parker Hicks and Tim Delaney have been leading the defensive charge on that front of late for the Dukes. York also has received a boost from sophomores Isaac Marlott and Mike Sullivan. “Isaac has been on varsity all season, but he stepped up big against Lyons Township by scoring four goals when they overplayed his brother, Alex,” said Drumm. “We brought up Mike to the varsity recently and he has scored in every game. He put in three goals against St. Charles North.” Drumm said another encouraging aspect has been the play of the team’s bench. “We continue to get better,” he said. “We’re happy with the quality of our bench, which will help us down the stretch.”

Tough week for Timothy Christian baseball team Allen hits grand-slam home run for Trojans

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Timothy Christian baseball team dropped a recent 5-0 Metro Suburban Conference Red Division game to Chicago Christian. Chicago Christian scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning to take control. Brian Schiff had a double for the Trojans. Nick Huisman took the loss. He struck out five in five innings and allowed three hits. Chicago Christian won the series with a 3-0 victory. Timothy had five singles in the game, two by Noah

Marrera. Jimmy Allen took the loss, despite pitching a seven-inning complete game, allowing three hits and striking out 13, while walking one. Timothy then dropped a 5-1 MSC crossover game to Riverside-Brookfield. The Trojans were stung by eight fielding errors that led to four unearned runs. Joey Davidson went 2-for-3, while Schiff had an RBI. Jonny Strube was the losing pitcher. He struck out four in five innings of work and allowed only one earned run. Timothy had four hits. Timothy also lost an 18-11 MSC

crossover game to Aurora Central Catholic. ACC scored nine of its 18 runs off eight walks and five hit batsmen. Allen again had a strong game, going 3-for-5 with a grand-slam home run and six RBI. He also had a double. Shawn VanTholen was 3-for-4. Jakob Loerop went 2-for-4. Schiff was 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI. Marrera had two hits and two RBI, while Connor Gwaltney had two hits. Schiff and Gwaltney also had a double each. Josh Anderson took the loss.
