Excavation begins for stormwater project at York IGA between City, D205 ‘beginning of a new chapter in Elmhurst’

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

If you’ve driven past York High School this past week, you’ve no doubt noticed that excavation has begun at the large open area between the school and St. Charles Road, which will be used for underground stormwater storage vaults per an intergovernmental agreement between District 205 and the City of Elmhurst. The vaults will be topped by an artificial turf field, which will make them available as athletic fields for physical education and other outdoor activities.

City officials made a commitment more than 10 years ago to address the City’s stormwater challenges in an effort to protect residents and home values in town. To do so, then-Mayor Steve Morley noted, “we really needed the help of our fellow taxing bodies.”

For land-locked Elmhurst, that meant negotiating with both District 205 and the Elmhurst Park District for use of their open lands for

Community gathers on Art Museum lawn for first-ever LGBTQ Pride Proclamation

The lawn of the Elmhurst Art Museum was the place to be on Wednesday, June 9, when the Elmhurst Pride Collective (EPC) hosted the City’s inaugural celebration of Pride Month.

Rainbow colors were everywhere and free ice cream was on the menu as members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) community shared hugs and conversation while enjoying an evening of beautiful weather.

The program began with Peter Thomas, owner of local favorite Pilot Pete’s Coffee & Treats, who talked about his experiences growing

up in Elmhurst and starting a small business in his hometown.

The highlight was when Mayor Scott Levin presented the city’s first Pride Proclamation to the Elmhurst Pride Collective (EPC), giving it to EPC president Stephanie Wargin.

The Proclamation states, in part, that “Elmhurst’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) residents are welcome and valuable members of our community and Elmhurst is dedicated to fostering acceptance of all its citizens and preventing discrimination and bullying based on sexual orientation and gender identity.”

It goes on to declare June 2021 “LGBTQ Pride Month” and encourages “all community residents to eliminate prejudice wherever it exists and to celebrate our diversity by celebrating our LGBTQ friends, neighbors, and children.”

Pride Fest coming to EPC on June 26 Another Pride activity scheduled for Elmhurst is the Pride Fest, scheduled for Saturday, June 26, co-hosted by the Elmhurst Presbyterian Church and the Elmhurst Pride Collective, in the church parking lot, located at 367 Spring Road from

12-3 p.m.

In addition, the EPC has recruited dozens of talented volunteer artists to paint storefront windows around the town with Pride-themed art (for a full list, see the EPC website Pride page at www. elmhurstpridecollective.com/ Pride2021), and the EPC is holding a free prize drawing and a Share Your Pride contest for the best home/yard Pride décor, with prizes donated by several local businesses.

Tony Gambino is a busy man these days.

The Elmhurst resident keeps plenty busy with the many restaurants he owns including H.B. Jones, Victory Meats & Seafood, Victory Tap, and several others, along with locations in Oak Park. It’s no secret the COVID-19 pandemic was a big blow to all area restaurants as they struggled to find a new way to not only build their business, but also to keep existing customers coming in. Most food service owners turned to pick-up and delivery, even if they had never offered the service previously.

Gambino felt the same crunch and, even before the pandemic, was working to find a third-party delivery service for all his restaurants but sought something more affordable than DoorDash and Grubhub and their high-percentage takes.

That’s when Gambino developed Delivery First, a restaurant-focused flat-fee food delivery service that aims to do away with percentage-based fees. Delivery First is trying to be a more affordable solution and an easier option for restaurants.

“The difference is, Delivery First offers a flat fee, which is very transparent to the customer and the restaurant,” Gambino told the Independent in an exclusive interview. “Others take a percentage to take

City’s Ward 5 Aldermanic seat application deadline extended to June 30

Administration:

With the advice and consent of the Elmhurst City Council, Mayor Scott M. Levin will appoint a replacement to the 5th Ward aldermanic seat that became vacant on May 3, when he took office as mayor. The application deadline has been extended to June 30, 2021 in order to ensure residents are adequately notified and have time to submit an application. This person will serve out the remaining two years of the term, until May 2023. For this particular vacancy, Levin believes that soliciting applications is a good way to gauge interest and identify candidates from the Fifth Ward at-large.

To be considered for this appointment, please complete an official application.

Resumes and/or letters of intent are also encouraged to be included with the application. Applications can be found at http://bit.ly/elmhurstward5. Completed applications can be emailed to Amanda.

an order, then charge the customer, whereas our delivery fee is $7. To the restaurant, they can decide how much of that fee they want to cover, if any. We take any delivery, we offer online ordering, any way an order comes in, we can do it, but our oversight of the delivery is much better.”

He explained that the drivers are actual employees paid by the hour by Delivery First.

“What they make usually exceeds minimum wage,” Gambino said. “They are in uniform, they are covered by us for all insurance, such as workers compensation, we offer a 401(k) [retirement investment account], we even have internships available.

When you work for Delivery First, you are part of a company, you are not a free agent. We’re always going to be that. We want to be stewards in the community.”

Gambino began by meeting with various restaurant owners and other local parties to identify problems and find facilities interested in the concept.

“The truth is, most restaurants don’t want to be in the delivery business, but were forced to due to COVID-19,” he said. “Our drivers are always available so you don’t have to wait until there’s someone in the area. Right now, we cover five areas – Elmhurst, Oakbrook Terrace, Lombard and Villa Park.

We also have our connections in the Oak Park-River Forest area.

“We also serve the south Loop and River North in Chicago. It is our goal to service the entire Chicago area where there is more density. However, on a Friday night, we have kept 16 to 18 drivers busy just in this west suburban area.

“We’ve also provided delivery for restaurants who have never offered it before, such as the Rainbow Restaurant in downtown Elmhurst. To other companies, delivery is secondary, but at Delivery First, it is our primary business.”

Named ECAF’s ‘Friend of the Children’ The Elmhurst Children’s Assistance Foundation (ECAF) is hosting its annual golf outing this year, after taking a year off for the pandemic, as many charities did. The golf outing serves to honor someone every year who has been a special advocate for children in the community and this year, the honor goes to Tony Gambino.

“I was brought in to get involved in ECAF by Pete DiCianni, who introduced me to the charity,” he said.

“I had three kids of my own in Elmhurst schools and had coached sports with them. [As a restaurant group], we got into supporting teams, leagues and school events. My kids [Tony, 22, Roxy, 19, and Ally, 18] are now all in college.” (DiCianni was previously named an ECAF “Friend of the Children.”)

At HB Jones, Gambino has sponsored the “NoFrills” Fun Run every year, an effort that gives to a different charity each year.

“We don’t care if we make money on a charity event, it’s enough to make it a wash,” he said. “I’d rather not write a check, I’d rather provide food, host an event, or give food or gift certificates. We’ve been involved in the Ray Graham Association golf outing, ECAF of course, and one of my favorites – the Kick Off for Kids golf outing led by [Elmhurst resident]

Elmhurst U. kicks off Sesquicentennial Celebration Year Elmhurst University will celebrate its founding 150 years ago with a series of events and programs to be held over the coming year.

The University’s Commencement ceremonies in May marked the start of Elmhurst’s sesquicentennial anniversary year, though Elmhurst’s official founding was on Dec. 6, 1871, when the Rev. Carl F. Kranz and 14 students stepped off a train in downtown Elmhurst to establish the Elmhurst Proseminary, a school to prepare teenage boys for careers as teachers and preachers in the German Evangelical Synod of the Northwest.

From those humble roots 150 years

ago, the institution now known as Elmhurst University has dramatically expanded its impact across the region, the nation and the world.

All are invited to join Elmhurst University at a number of events celebrating its history, its impact, and the lives it has shaped: • A special June Jazz concert on Saturday, June 19, will feature Grammy-nominated vocalist Roberta Gambarini, acclaimed jazz trumpeter Byron Stripling and the Elmhurst University Jazz Band.

• A vintage baseball exhibition on Sunday, Sept. 26, will pit a University team against a team from the City of

Elmhurst.

• An institutional history and storytelling project, “Calling All Voices,” will spotlight the stories of alumni and faculty.

• The Elmhurst History Museum will host a special exhibition focusing on the University’s history with a public lecture by Professor Robert Butler, chair of the Elmhurst U. Department of History.

• Tours, thought-provoking public lectures, music, dance and theatre performances, and other activities will spotlight the campus and its students.

• On Dec. 6, the University will celebrate Founders Day with a reen-

actment of Rev. Kranz’s arrival in Elmhurst with his students.

More events and activities are planned for Spring 2022. The sesquicentennial celebrations will wrap up with Elmhurst’s May 2022 Commencement.

“Throughout its history, Elmhurst University has transformed the lives of its students, educating and preparing them to contribute meaningfully to a world that needs their diverse insights, knowledge and promise.

That’s true now more than ever,” said President Troy D. VanAken. “We are thrilled for this opportunity to share our story with the world.”

Mazzochi-sponsored telehealth expansion bill passed unanimously, heads to governor’s desk

Furthering the advances made in providing telehealth services during the COVID-19 pandemic, legislation sponsored by State Representative Mazzochi (R-Elmhurst), will enshrine and further advance those services to Illinoisans. The bill unanimously passed both legislative chambers over Memorial Day Weekend.

“Our state should support innovation and efficiencies that increase affordability in healthcare whenever we can,” Rep. Mazzochi said.

“Telehealth has helped generate better patient outcomes in critical areas, especially for chronic conditions, behavioral health management, and longterm care plans that require numerous doctor visits.”

Advocates of the legislation have argued that telehealth has helped drive a reduction of missed appointments, demonstrated increased care plan adherence, and improved chronic disease management. Telehealth has further decreased barriers to access that arise from transportation, lost income, missed work and school, or the stigma of seeking help.

House Bill 3308 bars insurers from requiring patients to prove a hardship or access barrier in order to receive reimbursement for telehealth services; protects patient privacy; regulates insurance applications to telehealth services; and keeps costs in line with, or lower than, in-person visits.

“There has been a significant increase in interest in receiving telehealth services, not only because of the pandemic, but because of the care management benefits and convenience,” Rep. Mazzochi continued.

“This bill will make sure Illinois law is keeping up with that demand and protecting patients’ access to the health care services they need.”

(This was received from the office of Deanne Mazzochi.)

Proponents of clean energy bill gather outside senator’s office

On Monday morning, June 7, dozens of people gathered for a rally outside of State Sen. Suzy Glowiak Hilton’s office in Oakbrook Terrace with homemade signs and chants such as “no more coal, no more oil; keep the carbon in the soil” in an effort to persuade lawmakers to pass a clean energy bill in Illinois that supports clean energy jobs, environmental justice and cleaner air, along with phasing out coal-powered energy plants. The rally was hosted by the DuPage Clean Energy Coalition (DCEC) and the River Prairie Group of the Sierra Club-DuPage County. Glowiak Hilton spoke at the rally, telling those who attended that she would vote “yes” for clean energy. A deal on an energy overhaul package between Gov. JB Pritzker’s office and Exelon—the parent company of Commonwealth Edison and owner of six nuclear power plants in Illinois—was believed to have been reached before the end of the spring legislative session. However, that deal fell through at the 11th hour when Senate Democrats balked at provisions in the package to phase out coal-powered energy plants by 2035. However, lawmakers returned to Springfield this week to vote on a new energy bill

Obituary

Ming Chwen Lee, 89 Ming Chwen Lee passed away peacefully and quietly in Elmhurst on May 8, 2021 at the age of 89. She was born on November 11, 1931.

Ming’s life was full of family, friends, travel, and bridge. Her love of travel took her to all seven continents and cruises on most of the oceans. Her most cherished memories were those made with friends and families on these trips. When not traveling, Ming would be found playing in bridge tournaments across the country where she would meet many people -- some of whom would become her closest friends over the many years that she played.

Ming was preceded in death by her husband, Martin Lee. She was the beloved mother of Michael (Valerie) Lee, and grandmother of Samantha, Mitchell, and Meredith Lee. The family will hold a private ceremony in Hawaii and plans to hold a Celebration of Life at a later date.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to Park Place of Elmhurst Memorial Fund, 1050 S Euclid Ave. Elmhurst, IL 60126 Arrangements by Elmhurst Community Funeral Home – The Ahglrim Chapel, 567 S.

Elmhurst company creates all-weather keypads

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Think about the keypads you use at the gas pump that are out in the weather 24/7. What happens to them when they are constantly out in the weather? Where else do you use a keypad?

There is a company in the north business park right here in Elmhurst that has engineered the solution. DuraTouch, located at 650 W. Grand Ave., Ste 308, offers all-weather touch pads for use in various industries.

“We make the technology and en-

gineering here in Elmhurst, but production is done elsewhere,” said DuraTouch CEO Doug Monieson. “We have the prototypes in Elmhurst. We are sold directly to equipment companies, medical companies, such as Baxter, and start-ups.”

Sales, which are global in scale,

are done from the Elmhurst facility along with an office in Boston.

Experts at DuraTouch help customers determine the best product for their particular need. They consider size, LCD specification, optical or perimeter bond options, cover lens thickness, material, decoration, etc.

Buyers can choose coating options including anti-fingerprint, anti-reflective, anti-glare, antimicrobial, and more. There are USB or 12C Communication Protocol options.

The touchscreens are designed for harsh environments, indoors or outdoors, with glove and water performance ability.

DuraTouch CEO Doug Monieson shows off the many products created and engineered by the company, which primarily makes all-weather keypads. As it shows here, weather-proof touchpads have numerous applications.

We make the technology and engineering here in Elmhurst, but production is done elsewhere. We have the prototypes in Elmhurst. We are sold directly to equipment companies, medical companies, such as Baxter, and start-ups.”

Electrical engineer Andrew Schweig demonstrates how a DuraTouch screen works by “writing” on it while it is under a downpour of water. The touchscreens are designed for harsh environments, indoors or outdoors, with glove and water performance ability.

To demonstrate the durability of the keypads, Andrew Schweig, an electrical engineer with the company, offered a demonstration right at the sink! He ran the water over one of the devices and was still able to make it function.

Asked how they are used in hospitals, Schweig explained that most interior hospital doors are opened with a touchpad.

“If a medical worker is wearing the usual plastic gloves and if they have any sort of wet or slippery substance on the gloves, it can be difficult to press the keypad,” he said.

Monieson showed the products carried by DuraTouch. There are “wearables,” that is, devices that can be worn like watches, emergency walkie-talkies, and many others.

The company was founded in 2008 and was first located across the street from its current location.

“We’ve been in here Elmhurst ever since the beginning,” Monieson said.

“We find good talent here and we like the central location.”

Next time you find yourself using a keypad outdoors, you just might be using a device that had its beginnings in Elmhurst.

York boys lacrosse team wins sectional title

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York boys lacrosse team moved itself one step closer to a state berth recently.

The Dukes were 11-4 winners over fellow West Suburban Conference foe Glenbard West to win an IHSA boys lacrosse sectional title at Elmhurst University’s Langhorst Stadium.

The win propelled York to a supersectional appearance earlier in the week against Neuqua Valley at Lockport High School.

If York defeated Neuqua Valley, it would advance to the state boys lacrosse state semifinals today at Forest View Education Center in Arlington Heights.

York softball The York softball team saw its season come to a conclusion after an 11-1 loss to Chicago Marist in the Class 3A Marist sectional championship game.

York was held to three hits in the contest. Mariann Blass went 2-for-2, while Haley Sandoval went 1-for-2.

Rena Sotos walked twice, stole two bases and scored a run.

University of Michigan-bound Lauren Derkowski took the loss for the Dukes. She went 4 2/3 innings and allowed 13 hits. She struck out four and walked two.

York reached the sectional final after a 4-0 win over Downers Grove South.

Derkowski was the winning pitcher.

She allowed one hit and struck out 12, while walking none. She threw 70 of 90 pitches for strikes.

Derkowski also belted a home run, scored two runs, had two RBI and drew two walks. Blass was 3-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI. Sotos was 2-for-3, while Kara Jensen was 1-for-3 with an RBI. York finished the season 20-3.

Timothy Christian boys track The Timothy Christian boys track team finished sixth at the recent Class 1A Seneca sectional.

At Seneca, the Trojans qualified three individuals for the state meet later this week at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston.

Senior Jerard Starr won the 300 hurdles, while freshman Caleb Hoekstra was first in the 400, and junior Grayson Haywood took second in the long jump and qualified for today’s Class 1A state meet.

IHSA announces new COVID-19 protocols In conjunction with the state moving to Phase 5 as a part of the Restore Illinois pandemic relief plan, many IHSA sports and activities have greater autonomy in scheduling, as well as in hosting fans.

Some of the IHSA highlights with the move to Phase 5 include all IHSA sports can now schedule contests/ meets with and against any other high school in the state, as well as with out-of-state opponents; There are no longer any spectator limitations. All IHSA host venues, indoor and outdoor, may host fans at 100 percent capacity; and masks are no longer required for student-athletes, coaches and officials in low- and medium-risk outdoor sports.

Timothy Christian baseball team takes sectional title

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Timothy Christian baseball team is playing at its best at the perfect time of the year.

The Trojans recently won a Class 2A sectional championship with a 12-8 win over host Chicago Latin School at Kerry Wood Cubs Field on North Rockwell Street in Chicago.

The win gave Timothy its third sectional title since 2017. Timothy played earlier this week in a Class 2A supersectional at Rivets Stadium in Rockford against Winnebago for

a shot to advance to the Class 2A finals at Illinois State University in Normal against the winner of the Decatur Millikin University supersectional.

In the win over Latin, Donald Tober was the winning pitcher. He threw the first 6 1/3 innings. Tober also was a key contributor at the plate with three hits.

Evan Montella and Myles Foy each added two-hit games, while Fletcher Roemmich reached base all five times he batted — via a single and four walks.

To reach the sectional championship, Timothy recorded a 7-6 win over DePaul Prep in eight innings.

Ben Jones pitched five innings, while Jacob Friend earned the win, pitching three innings in relief.

Timothy Christian trailed 5-1 heading into the sixth inning. In the sixth, after Montella singled and Foy and Kwasigroch walked, Jones cleared the bases with a triple to bring Timothy within a single run.

Roemmich then hit the game-tying single. Timothy took the lead in the top of the eighth with a pair

of fielder’s choice ground balls that scored runs off the bats of Casey Folkerts and CJ James.

Timothy advanced to the sectional with an 11-3 win over crosstown neighbor IC Catholic Prep to win the regional title.

Tober was the winning pitcher, allowing only one earned run over five innings. Roemmich, the catcher, had a double, a triple and two RBI. Jones, James and Foy each added two RBI. Timothy opened postseason play with a 10-0 win over Westmont.

York girls soccer team wraps up season

Stockwell and Rebic led Dukes in scoring

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York girls soccer team wrapped up its season with a recent 2-1 loss to Downers Grove North in regional semifinal action in Downers Grove.

The loss dropped York to 3-111 overall. York recently scored a 5-0 forfeit win over Proviso West and dropped a 6-0 decision to Lyons Township prior to the state playoffs beginning. York finished West Suburban Conference Silver Division action with a 2-10 mark.

Coach Stevan Dorbic lauded the recent efforts of Danie Stockwell, Maya Rebic, Maddie Jeffery and Clare Mathews. “Danie, Maya, Maddie and Clare have all been fantastic leaders on the field,” the coach said.

“These seniors have shown a tremendous amount of hard work, dedication and teamwork that has motivated the rest of the team.”

As the season wore on, Dobric liked what he saw from his team on offense. “The team has done a great job of putting pressure on the opposing defenders to create mistakes and develop opportunities to score. Ev-

eryone is doing a great job of getting involved in the attack.

Dobric also saw progress on the defensive side of the ball. “Defensively, each player has been attacking the ball very well, in the air and on all areas of the field,” he said.

Through the end of the regular season, Stockwell was leading the team in scoring with eight goals and six assists. Rebic had five goals and two assists, while Allison Sheehan had four goals and an assist, while Michaela Quinn had three goals and five assists.

Dobric was particularly pleased with how Rebic and Jeffery stepped it up late in the season. “Maya has been creating chances and finishing her own opportunities in the offensive third of the field,” he explained.

“Maddie has done an excellent job controlling the midfield with her vision and ability to slow down and stop attacks from developing.”

Dobric also observed a close-knit group this spring. “This team does an excellent job of building each other up,” he said. “They do this by focusing on the positive elements each player brings to practice and games.”

Winton, who also ran the 1,600-meter run later in the meet, helped the Dukes finish seventh in the state of Illinois in the Illinois High School Association Class 3A State Championships. Because of the COVID-19/Coronavirus, the state finals were a one-day affair for each of the days.

Silverado Grill

Thank you for your generosity during the pandemic! We are grateful and appreciate your continued support as we continue to move forward.

At Silverado Grill you can enjoy dining al fresco even when the weather is rainy. We have an outdoor patio that is completely undercover, including an awning so you don’t have to run indoors on a cloudy day or when sprinkles surprise us. We’ll also have additional patio tables with umbrellas outdoors. With plenty of parking available, dining al fresco at Silverado is the perfect place for gathering with family and friends all summer and into the fall.

The entire menu — from those tasty hand-carved steaks, juicy burgers, gourmet salads, and cold beer — is available to outdoor enthusiasts.

All steaks are carved on premises. All top sirloin cuts, strip cuts and filet cuts can be increased to the size the diner prefers. So if the 11-ounce top sirloin just doesn’t seem right to you, ask for a 16-oz. cut. It will be done on the spot. Steaks are hand-cut daily, so whatever you order, you know it will be fresh.

Hours will continue to be adjusted until we reach the conditions as it was before the pandemic. Typically, Bar hours will be extended. Reservations are accepted. For reservations call (630) 833-1602. Current Hours: Sunday 4PM-8PM, Monday thru Thursday 4PM-9PM, Friday and Saturday 11:30AM-9PM.

Two Brothers from Italy Ristorante & Pizzeria In the heart of downtown Elmhurst, Two Brothers from Italy Ristorante & Pizzeria continues to carry on the rich tradition of Italian cuisine since it opened its doors. In 1976, Angelo Battaglia and his wife, Rosalia, purchased an Elmhurst storefront to start their restaurant. Serving up authentic Italian dishes and pizza that is beyond praise, this little “ma and pa” restaurant became a quick neighborhood favorite and has since quadrupled in size. Now in its 45th year of business, the family restaurant is run by Angelo’s daughter, Joanne and her husband, Sam. “We still are using those favorite recipes from 45 years ago,” Joanne states.
