Inland Bank on Spring Road robbed Fourth time in past five years; suspect remains at large

Dee Longfellow News Coordinator

Spotted at the parade: A real hero

ELMHURST — Early Wednesday morning, May 25, The Independent learned that the Inland Bank at 539 South Spring Road in Elmhurst had been robbed at about 10:30 a.m.

Numerous Elmhurst Police Officers responded to the scene, along with an Oak Brook unit, which came to assist. The FBI

was notified as well.

Police blocked off some area streets and were using a police canine to look for the suspect, who was described as a white male, about 5’1”, weighing about 130 pounds wearing a blue jacket, black pants and a hat. Police said the offender presented a note and demanded money from a bank teller, after which he fled eastbound toward Montrose on foot.

Lincoln and Madison Schools were placed on lockdown while the police searched the area.

According to Elmhurst Police Chief Michael Ruth, police

have recovered a vehicle which is believed to be involved in the robbery. In addition, they are currently in touch with a person of interest who may have additional information on the robbery.

This is the fourth time Inland Bank & Trust has been victim of a robbery. The last time was March 5, 2014. Prior to that, the bank faced a robbery on Monday, June 11, 2012, then again on Monday, July 9, 2012, just four weeks later. The FBI later confirmed the two robberies were related, and eventually, police caught up to Carlos

M. Vilanova, 49, of Highland Township, Mich., last August.

The suspect in the most recent incident remains at large. More details will be released as soon as they are available. If anyone has more information about this incident, please contact the Elmhurst Police Department at 630-530-3050 or dial 9-1-1.

ELMHURST — In the eyes of a second grader, history takes on many interesting colors and nuances that were on full display in the more than 300 entries submitted during the annual Ruth Strand Poster Contest.

Sponsored by the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation, the 2016 Ruth Strand Poster Contest invited second grade students to submit an original drawing depicting a scene from Elmhurst history. The contest honors Ruth Strand, the long-time director of the Elmhurst Public Library and a founding member of what is now the Elmhurst History Museum.

The mission of the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation is to stimulate broad-based support for local history, the Elmhurst History Museum and the Churchville Schoolhouse through advocacy, education, and fundraising.

Ten Elmhurst schools participated in the contest, and members of the community voted to select the winners. The first place poster, created by Beatrice Pollock of Hawthorne Elementary School, was a depiction of the Keebler elf and his hollow tree— reminders of the Keebler Company that was once a thriving business located in Elmhurst.

Following are the winners of the 2016 Ruth Strand Post-

How Illinois politicians pick their voters

By Austin Berg Illinois News Network

Springfield saw the arrival of a curious contraption May 5.

Outside the Illinois State Board of Elections was a 36-foot-long file cabinet, filled with more than 500,000 signatures, each one symbolizing a vote of no confidence in a rigged political system.

Throughout the state’s history, Illinois politicians have drawn political boundaries.

Leaders have carefully crafted legislative maps to maximize the chance of success for the incumbent party. This system has led to a lack of competitive politics, and an equally distressing lack of confidence in state government.

But 570,000 signatures gathered by the nonpartisan Independent Map coalition

could change all that. For comparison’s sake, that’s as if every person in Aurora, Rockford, Joliet and Decatur cried out for change. It’s a monumental feat.

But it has been tried before.

Two years ago, associates of Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan, the politician who has benefited most from political control of redistricting, filed a lawsuit to quash a similar referendum on the subject. It was successful.

A look at how Madigan has played the redistricting game reveals why he’d loathe allowing citizens a new way forward.

His redistricting prowess was best shown in the 2014 elections. Despite Illinoisans voting for a Republican governor, Madigan did not lose a single Democratic seat in the

Illinois House of Representatives, maintaining supermajority control.

“Across Illinois you’ve got districts that were created by legislators to help them remain in office,” said Independent Maps spokesman Jim Bray. “They pick the voters they want to have elect them.”

Research on Illinois’ partisan redistricting process, conducted by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois UniversityCarbondale, highlights how the 2011 redistricting process helped pave the way for such a skewed result.

Democrats were facing tough times in Central Illinois. They knew maintaining one district covering Springfield, one covering Decatur and one covering rural counties just south of the two cit-

ies would mean a Republican rout.

So they created a new Senate district to splinter Decatur and Springfield by race, connecting the areas of Springfield and Decatur containing more black voters.

This left Springfield residents in the odd position of having three different state Senate districts. But it worked for the politicians.

Democrats picked up a Senate seat and a House seat for their efforts.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court case Shaw v. Reno prohibits drawing borders “primarily” to create minority districts, Illinois House Democrats actually argued in federal court that they drew the district this way for partisan reasons.

Thankfully, the Independent Maps coalition did some tinkering after Madigan’s challenge to the group’s efforts.

Which brings us to the absurdly long cabinetry.

If successful, the coalition’s referendum would take redistricting power from politicians and give it to a bipartisan commission of 11 Illinoisans.

The commission would then draw legislative boundaries every 10 years, following the federal census.

This would mean fewer politically “safe” districts, fewer tortured shapes and loads more transparency.

But some interest groups contend that changing the status quo could lead to

fewer minority lawmakers in Springfield.

The amendment, however, contains a number of provisions protecting the voices of minority voters, including the addition of federal Voting Rights Act provisions to the Illinois Constitution.

“There are a number of strong protections in the amendment that ensure minority voters will be able to elect a representative of their choosing,” Bray said.

The current legislative districting system leaves a majority of Illinoisans without a real choice. Only 40 percent of Illinois’ legislative races in 2014 were contested, meaning 6 in 10 Illinois lawmakers elected that year got a free pass to the Statehouse.

This level of voter disenfranchisement must be addressed.

Republican or Democrat, political parties shouldn’t be able to rig the rules of the game. Citizens have made the herculean efforts necessary to put the redistricting issue to a vote. And many speculate these efforts will face legal challenges.

But it’s a worthy fight. And one the state’s most powerful politicians are afraid of losing.

SLEEP APNEA AND GLAUCOMA

Glaucoma affects nearly 3 million Americans while 18 million Americans have sleep apnea. Glaucoma is a degeneration of the optic nerve from lack of oxygen to the eye. Traditional glaucoma is caused by high eye pressure preventing proper circulation and oxygen to the Optic nerve (the nerve that carries the eye images to the brain). It has been shown that in some cases, sleep apnea reduces the circulation of the blood to the head and can thus cause Glaucoma. If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea it is essential that you have baseline glaucoma tests.

Glaucoma is painless and permanent, and has no symptoms. It can only be diagnosed by a comprehensive eye exam.

To Your Health Through

CHIROPRACTIC

Enhancing the health of your family

by Dr. Noelle O’Connor

WHAT WORKS FOR YOU? One of the first things that those unfamiliar with chiropractic treatment want to know is: Will it work? The fact is that spinal manipulation involving the application of force to move joints to relieve pain provides immediate benefits for most patients with low-back pain, but not for all. As is the case with cancer, glaucoma, and a host of other diseases and conditions, back pain is a collection of different kinds of problems. Thus, no single treatment can be expected to be as successful in one back-pain sufferer as the next. Of course, the chiropractor tailors treatment in accordance with specific causes of each patient’s condition.

This approach is usually successful, but patients must find out for themselves.

A continuing schedule of regular

237061

chiropractic checkups can help detect, correct, and maintain optimum spinal and nervous system function.

Find out how chiropractic care, combined with proper diet, exercise, and other aspects of good health and personal hygiene, can enhance your well-being and help you enjoy life to the fullest. Call YORK CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC at 630.834.8536 to schedule an appointment. We’re located at 486 Spring Road.

P.S. Because back pain may arise from a strained muscle, a “slipped” disc, abnormal body mechanics, and many other conditions, the source of the pain must be clearly identified before it can be treated with the most suitable and effective therapy.

Heritage Foundation announces 2016 Ruth Strand Poster Contest winners I

n the eyes of a second grader, history takes on many interesting colors and nuances that were on full display in the more than 300 entries submitted during the annual Ruth Strand Poster Contest.

Sponsored by the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation, the 2016 Ruth Strand Poster Contest invited second grade students to submit an original drawing depicting a scene from Elmhurst history. Named for the long-time director of the Elmhurst Library and founding member of the Museum, the contest invites second graders to submit an original drawing depicting a scene from Elmhurst history.

Ten Elmhurst schools participated in the contest, and members of the community voted to select the winners.

The first place poster, created by Beatrice Pollock of Hawthorne Elementary School, was a depiction of the Keebler elf and his hollow tree— reminders of the Keebler Company that was once a thriving business located in Elmhurst.

Following are the winners of the 2016 Ruth Strand Poster Contest (school names in parentheses): First Place: Beatrice Pollock (Hawthorne) Second Place: Mason Kotowicz (Lincoln) Third Place: Delilah Kamins (Conrad Fischer) Honorable Mentions: Jackson Messina (Jefferson), Samantha Szejner (Emerson), Ryker Harges (Hawthorne), Kennedi Felipe (Conrad Fischer), Samantha Tomlinson (Lincoln), Emily Franchi (Jackson), Daniela Adams (Immanuel Lutheran), Margaret Pas (Edison), Mary Kate Hilgart (Immaculate Conception), and Will Van Meir (Field).

The poster contest winners were honored on May 25th at a reception at the Elmhurst History Museum. Students received gift bags from the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation and schools with ten or more participants received a donation toward their school library.

The posters will be on display at the Elmhurst History Museum throughout the summer, and winning entries may be viewed at City Hall after June 6.

In addition, the winners will march alongside the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation in the Elmhurst Memorial Day parade and the group will be recognized at the Elmhurst City Council meeting on June 6.

Pollack poster on local history awarded first place

Top left: This is the poster created by Hawthorne student Beatrice Pollock, which took first place in the competition. The bottom of the poster reads: “Did you know the Keebler company used to be in Elmhurst? I have a neighbor who used to work for Keebler. Many people worked for Keebler.”

Lincoln student places second in Ruth Strand contest Top right: Mason Kotowicz of Lincoln School made this poster about Hamburger Heaven, which has been in Elmhurst for almost 70 years. The poster reads: “Hamburger Heaven opened in 1948. You should have a Richardson’s Draft Root beer, a double decker hamburger, or even a malt.”

Elmhurst College highlighted by third place winner Left: The third place winner in the Ruth Strand Poster Contest was Delilah Kamins, a student at Conrad Fischer, who focused on the history of Elmhurst College. It reads: “The Elmhurst college was first a high school. By 1930, The Elmhurst college changed to a 4-year college for men and women.”

BUCKING INJURY

As a great deal of emphasis has been focused recently on preventing sports-related injuries in children, parents have responded by outfitting

by Jeffrey T. Boland young athletes with helmets, mouth Licensed Orthodontic Specialist guards, protective eyewear, and pads. Orthodontists would also like to point out that protruding upper front teeth pose a danger as well. “Buck teeth,” as they are popularly known, are characteristic of the malocclusion known as an “overbite.” This abnormal bite, in which the upper front teeth lie too far forward over the lower teeth, places the upper front teeth in jeopardy of being knocked out. Prevention is key because it’s far preferable to fix the problem with orthodontic treatment than to replace teeth lost to an errant elbow on the basketball court.

St. Peter’s celebrates 140 years; members march in Memorial Day Parade ELMHURST — On Monday, May 30, St. Peter’s United Church of Christ members marched in the Elmhurst Memorial Day Parade. This year’s parade coincided with the St. Peter’s 140th Anniversary. While the City of Elmhurst was incorporated in 1881, St. Peter’s United Church of Christ (UCC) was the first organized Protestant church in the Elmhurst settlement. St. Peter’s congregation was organized in May 1876 while the building cornerstone was laid a few months later in

September of the same year.

The early settlers of the Elmhurst area were predominantly German or English. The merger of two German immigrant church groups in 1871- the Evangelical Synod of the West and the Evangelical Synod of the Northwest led to the creation of the German Evangelical Synod of North America in 1869. This group founded the Evangelical Proseminary in 1871 which was the parent institution of Elmhurst College. The German Evangelical Synod was the denomination

Cullerton works to streamline Illinois voter registration SPRINGFIELD — Currently there are more than 2 million Illinoisans who are eligible to vote, but aren’t registered.

To alleviate this problem, Senator Tom Cullerton (D-Villa Park) sponsored Senate Bill 250 which would automatically register eligible citizens

when they renew their drivers’ license or state ID. “The democratic process works best when more people are involved,” he said. “We need to do whatever we can to engage more people and give them the opportunity to exercise their rights.”

Statistics have shown currently of all voting-age eligible Illinoisans, 42 percent of black citizens, 57.8 percent of Asian citizens and 33 percent of all females are not registered.

Under current law eligible citizens are allowed to register when they renew their license

DuPage model for government consolidation to be spread throughout state

SPRINGFIELD — To mirror the success seen in DuPage County, State Senator Tom Cullerton (D-Villa Park) has helped passed an initiative to streamline and remove redundancies in local government.

“Through our bipartisan work, we have made DuPage County a leader in government consolidation,” he said. “It’s time to use the lessons we have learned and spread our success throughout the state to save valuable taxpayer dollars.”

Senate Bill 2994 requires all Illinois county boards to submit a report to the General Assembly recommending units of government that may be dissolved or consolidated.

This was the first step DuPage County took in its government

consolidation efforts. Through this model, the county is projected to save taxpayers more than $100 million over the next 20 years.

Cullerton acknowledges that Illinois has more than 7,000 government entities that were developed decades ago.

Land of Arte, and finishing 9th in the world. The team called “The Color of Boom” includes Anna Dray, Aidan Janc, Michael Kuhl, Josh Schierl, Carl Knable, Ryan Veach and Michelle Giannini, managed by Michele Janc and Janene Kuhl. The team is headed to Globals after winning the state tournament held at the Northern Illinois University.

They chose the Technical Challenge, which required building a vehicle that could carry at least one team members a distance of 14 feet 40 times in eight minutes, changing the methods of movement and propulsion each trip. In addition, the team was required to tell a story with multiple requirements that incorporate the vehicle trips.

The team built a hovercraft that converts into a mechanically-wheeled vehicle.

When asked why he enjoyed Destination Imagination, Aidan Janc responded, “It’s not like anything we do in school, and I really like to build stuff.”

And build they have! Each year this team has rented a U-Haul trailer to transport all the items they have created as part of their challenge solu-

tion and this year is no different. Teammate Michael Kuhl said he enjoys DI, “because I love getting together with my friends to solve challenges.”

A special part of the presentation this year included a pantomime, because the hovercraft was very loud. The music for that performance was created by the team using the various instruments they each play.

Two other ICGS teams have qualified to participate in the Global Tournament.

The sixth grade team, “Carmalazers,” which includes Kevin Gliatis, Declan Kenneally, Emily Miller, Lino Narcisi, and Grace Stewart took part in the Improvisational challenge. The fifth grade team, “DI Bling”, comprised of Ava Rose Giannini, Quinn Hunter, Anna Ringelstetter-Ennis, and Gia Toliopoulos, competed in the Fine Arts challenge.

Each team must have a volunteer team manager. The Color of Boom is managed

by Michele Janc and Janene Kuhl, Carmalazers by Maureen Kenneally and Tracey Stewart; and DI Bling by Michelle Giannini and Maria Toliopoulos.

York girls lacrosse team reaches state quarterfinals Dukes finish season with 20 wins

I

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

t was a repeat for the York girls lacrosse team.

The Dukes scored a recent 11-9 win over Glenbrook North to win their second sectional title in a row.

“It was a very tight and physical game,” said York coach Ryan Walz.

York advanced to the state quarterfinals where it lost 15-3 to Hinsdale Central. York finished the year with a 20-4 overall record (4-1 West Suburban Conference).

Zoe Lawless led York through 23 games with 81 goals (ranked fourth in the state). She averaged 4.2 goals per game and also finished third in the state in total points with 115.

“We look heavily on Zoe to provide offense and she does that consistently,” Walz said.

Goalie Caroline Fritsch led the league with a 5.1 goals against average, while Katie Toohey led the league in caused turnovers with 64.

Walz said successful draws and team speed were key factors in the team’s recent success. “We have been very good in time of possession and winning draws due to Emma Baubly. Emma has made a huge difference this season. She has dominated most games in draw controls and her unselfish and great playmaking ability has been so impressive,” he said earlier last week.

In terms of the team’s speed, Walz noted, “We are scoring a lot of goals due to our speed and ability to make quick plays.”

Walz was pleased with the team’s overall offensive makeup heading into the quarterfinal matchup. “Our offense has been solid,” he said. “We work hard in practice and tend to use 10 or more offensive set plays. We do a great job of communicating on which type of offense we play based on the opponent’s defense. Studying film and knowing your opponent can give us an edge. We tend to

make adjustments as needed.

Team chemistry also played a role in the team’s prosperity.

“We have incredible leaders on this team and our team chemistry and support is better than I have seen on any team,” said Walz.

Walz also lauded the recent play of Claire Dyra (defense) and Issy Torres (goalie). “Our defense is very good,” he said.

“We have been plagued with injuries and fortunately have girls who have stepped in and made big plays. Notably, Claire and Issy had fantastic games to help us win the sectional championship. We know we have the offense, however the defense is what puts us on the map.”

Torres and Fritsch combined to give York a pair of strong goalies. “Both goalies are solid and they work as hard as anyone in practices and games.

As coaches we are very confident with Issy or Caroline in goal. They both are so good. It comes down to instinct. We are very lucky to have them both.”

Lauren Anderson, Hannah Fleckenstein and Emily Siegenthaler also have played well. “Lauren and Hannah are

so valuable and always are in the mix offensively and defensively,” said Walz. “Emily has been super valuable on both sides of the field, providing scoring and strong defense in critical times during games.”

In the win over Marian Catholic, Baubly had five goals and four assists. Lawless had three goals and three assists. Sam Wilson had four goals and two assists. Jane Jucek had one goal. Ellie Grubbs had one goal and one assist. Lexi Ferazacca had four goals. Siegenthaler had two goals.

In the sectional-championship game victory, Baubly had one goal and one assist.

Anderson had two goals and two assists. Lawless recorded five goals. Siegenthaler had one goal and one assist, while Wilson had two goals and one assist.

“This team has had an incredible season and with eight very good seniors graduating, it will be sad to see such a great class and group of young ladies go,” said Walz. “They have left a legacy and standard for what York girls lacrosse is all about.

They will be missed.”

Leap year

York junior Morley ends season at state high-jump competition

T

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

he high jump wasn’t originally in the cards for York junior girls track and field athlete Jeanette

Morley.

Morley broke her leg during her freshman cross-country season.

“I came back for track and I wasn’t strong enough,” she said. “I tried the high jump. I had tried it once in eighth grade and kind of liked it.”

Morley explained the leg injury resulted from a quick growth spurt in middle school.

“I was building up workouts for the conference meet and it broke one day when I was doing a hard workout,” she said. “Everything happens for a

reason.”

Morley took a liking to the high jump and began to seriously focus on it. She joined the Jump High Athletic Club based out of College of DuPage.

“That really helped me,” she said.

“I improved by four inches and (York) coach (Annette) Schulte has helped me improve even more.

Morley’s improvement this spring landed her a spot in the Class 3A state meet. Her high mark last year in the high jump was 4-11. This season she jumped 5-6—an improvement of seven inches. She finished tied for 10th in her preliminary group at the state meet.

“I watched a lot of film of professional high jumpers and I thought about my form and focused on technique,” she said. “I did a lot of drills and a lot

of lifting and plyometrics.”

Morley said the key during races for her is focusing on the mental side of the game. “There are a lot of different things going on at once,” she said. “You have to keep yourself calm and focused.

You can’t think about too many things.

You have to stay focused and be confident that you have trained and know how to do this. That’s how you succeed.”

Morley doesn’t get too wrapped up in weather conditions on meet day. “For me rain helps me,” she said. “Some people get caught up with the weather and other stuff. I make sure I stay focused. If I can jump this high, I will. It doesn’t matter about the weather.”

Morley continues to run cross-country for York. “It was a good way to ease

into the track season and I ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would,” she said.

Looking ahead, Morley, an Irish dancer until she hurt her leg, would like to compete in college and also has her eye on a specific height she would like to achieve.

“I would like to jump over my head,” the 5-11 Morley said. “I would like to break 6-feet. That definitely is the goal.”

Morley was thrilled to earn a state berth in the high jump. “I feel like everything finally paid off,” she said.

“I worked hard this season and there were a lot of ups and downs. If you put your mind to it, anything is possible if you work hard enough. Hard work does pay off.”

Mission accomplished

York senior Denning ends high-school career at state

Y

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ork senior runner Max Denning had one thing on his mind this spring.

Make the Class 3A boys track state finals meet.

And that’s exactly what Denning did, qualifying individually in the 800 run and also as part of York’s 3,200 relay team.

“It means a lot,” said Denning. “That was the main goal I was working to the entire season. It’s really cool to be able to represent the team down there.”

Denning was part of the York 3,200

relay team that took fifth in the state this past weekend in Charleston. He also finished ninth in his preliminary heat of the 800 run.

“I have focused much more on the 800 this season,” said Denning earlier last week. “Other years I would run all sorts of races from the mile to the 3,200 to the 800. This year the focus was on the 800.”

Denning said the 800 is a race that requires several different skill sets. “You have to have pretty good leg speed,” he said. “You have to be able to sprint well and you also need a good amount of endurance. It’s a mixed race. I enjoy

running it. It’s not too long and it’s not too short. There is still a lot of room to make a move in that race.”

Familiarity is something Denning said helped the 3,200 relay team this season.

“We’ve run together a lot,” he said.

“We’ve done a lot of relays with those guys. We all know how each other runs and we provide good support to each other. We’re definitely close as friends.”

Denning pointed out eight runners tied to the relay went to Charleston, including Charlie Kern Jr., Robert Tomaska, Liam Hill, Jon May, Tom Devereux, Devin Davies and Alex Deuter.

“We’ve run that race a lot and learned

a lot from it,” he said.

Denning is headed to Claremont, Calif., to study engineering and run at Harvey Mudd College. “We went and visited there and it was really nice so I applied there,” he said. “It has a pretty good running program and I wanted to run in college. The academics are good with engineering and it’s California!”

Denning is thankful he was able to finish his high-school career in Charleston. “It means a lot to be able to go with these guys. We’ve spent a lot of time together,” he said. “York has been a big part of my life. It’s definitely something I treasure.”

York’s May makes major impact during her freshman year Running standout qualifies for state in both cross country and track

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — York’s Sarah May had a freshman year to remember.

May started high school off with a bang by helping the York girls cross-country team qualify for the Class 3A state meet. May was York’s second finisher through the chute in

Peoria.

This spring May again qualified for state, this time individually in the 800 run and also was part of the Dukes’ 3,200 relay that competed in the Class 3A meet in Charleston.

“I was running really well at the beginning of cross country and then I got injured and my times went up,” she said.

“It was frustrating. I really wanted to come back strong in track. I think it worked out well.”

May ran 2:15.84 in the 800 at state and finished fourth in her preliminary heat.

“I ran a lot of 400s in practice,” she said. “I also tripled

in a lot of meets (running in three events) with the 400, 800 and the 4-by-4 relay. The 4-by-4 helped me with my kick.”

May enjoys the length of the 800 race. “It’s not a sprint, but it’s not really long like the two-mile,” she said. “I like how it’s really competitive and fast, but not as fast as a sprint and not as slow as a two-mile.”

She added position is important when running an 800. “You have to get good positions and not get boxed in. That can be easy to do,” she said. “When people move up you have to move out and get out of the box and stay in

a good position and speed up once you get to the 400-meter mark.”

May was one of seven runners to qualify for state in the 800 at the Lake Park sectional. She ran 2:15.64 at Lake Park and won the sectional title. “I love running against good competition,” she said.

“It’s fun to see what I can do.”

May was proud of how the 3,200 relay team came together and stepped things up toward the end of the season.

“Before, we weren’t really running state-qualifying time,” she said. “Then we ran it and got close to where we needed to be and then we got really excited and our

times started to get faster. We worked together as a team at practice.”

May, whose older brother, Jon, a senior at York, qualified for the boys state track meet, was thankful for the support and tutelage she received this season from the team’s senior athletes.

“The older girls are very encouraging,” she said. “They know a lot about running.

When I joined the team I was bad at cutting in. All the stuff seemed simple, but it’s the kind of stuff you never learned in middle school. I also was bad at handoffs. They taught me how to do things and it’s helped a lot.”

ELMHURST — The York boys track 3,200 relay team has tasted great success in recent times.

The 2015 version placed fifth in Class 3A and the 2016 version, which returned Charlie Kern Jr., and Max Denning, also placed fifth.

One key component to this year’s group was senior Robert Tomaska, who led off the 3,200 relay on the final day of state and helped the team take fifth in the race with a time of 7:52.27.

“We’ve been doing great in the 3,200 all year,” said Tomaska. “We’ve had a lot of guys step up and make huge contributions. We all learned a lot last year. We did well at state and brought some guys back who have made a lot of contributions. All of us got better. We know each other from running together over the years in cross country and track. We’ve learned a lot about each other. We have great team chemistry and a great bond. We work hard and push each other. We make each other better every day.”

That team chemistry aspect is something Tomaska puts at the top of the list. “I love working with these guys every day,” he said. “We have a lot of fun. Everybody on the team wants to be great. It’s been fun to dream what could happen and then work every day to make it a reality.”

Tomaska, whose younger sister, Katherine, runs in the York girls’ program, said he’s learned plenty from York’s roster of standout runners.

“I’ve seen how the most successful guys on the team do what they do,” he said.

“Guys like Charlie (Kern Jr.) and Max (Denning) have already done this. They were in the 4-by-8 last year. I also learned from coach (Charlie) Kern (Sr.) about doing the little things that help make contributions like getting enough sleep and doing little strength exercises. You do everything you can to take care of yourself so you are ready on race day.”

Tomaska is headed to the University of Minnesota to study mechanical engineering.

He won’t run at the collegiate level there.

“It would be too difficult to balance schoolwork and running in college,” he said.

“I have to make sure studies come first. I’m looking toward getting to work on building things and being part of a team, getting a project and

YORK HIGH SCHOOL PLAYER OF THE WEEK YORK BOYS TRACK 3,200 RELAY TEAM The York boys track 3,200 relay team took fifth at the recent Class 3A state finals meet in Charleston. The quartet of Robert Tomaska, Liam Hill, Max Denning and Charlie Kern Jr., ran 7:52.7 in the finals.

making it happen.”

Tomaska said classes he took at York helped point him in the engineering direction.

“I had some difficult mathematics and physics classes.

Those sparked my interest.

Teachers challenged me to go the extra mile to succeed.

I see a future for myself in that field even though I don’t have much experience building things.”

Tomaska added he’s come a long way in his four years running at York.

“I’m so grateful to be part of this program,” he said. “When I joined freshman year I wasn’t sure if I was going to make a contribution. But I’ve been able to be part of this orga-

York boys water polo team enjoys banner season Dukes qualify for state tournament for third time in program history

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — This spring was one for the record books for the York boys water polo team.

The Dukes finished the season with a 23-8-2 record and won a sectional title. York qualified for the state tournament for the third time in program history. The Dukes also made the state tournament in 2003 (14-14 record) and in 2008 (1714-1 record).

In this year’s state quarterfinals, the Dukes lost 15-4 to Naperville Central, which went on to win the state title.

“We have a lot of returning players and talent and we work hard,” said York three-year varsity player Jordan Jopes prior to the state tournament. “It’s a fun group of guys who are

fun to work with and hang out with.”

Heading into the state tournament the Dukes had six players who had scored 35 or more goals. Tim Evely led that group with 101 goals. Alex Marlott had 64 goals, while Danny Stumpf had 51 goals. Luke Nowak had 48, Nike Miklyukh had 42 and Jopes had 35.

“Offensively we have a lot of shooters and drivers who can put the ball in the back of the net,” said Jopes.

The Dukes also weren’t too shabby on defense, limiting opponents to single-digit goal outputs in 24 games heading into the state tournament. In 12 games, York opponents scored five or fewer goals.

“Defensively we probably are one of the best teams,” Jopes said. “We have a lot of guys who are aware and know where the ball will be. They know how to get into the lanes.”

Jopes, who is headed to Iowa State to study engineering and is thinking about playing club

water polo at the Ames school, said the team’s win against Fenwick in the sectional final at York was a milestone for the group. Fenwick is a traditional state water polo power. York had went to a 9-9 tie with Fenwick earlier in the season at the York tournament. York downed Fenwick 10-9 to advance to the state quarterfinals.

“We were really looking forward to that game,” Jopes said.

Jopes said the state-tournament berth meant a lot to the team. “It’s something we’ve been working for all year. It’s very special,” he noted. “It’s the first time York has gone to the tournament in eight years.”

The team is coached by Brian Drumm, who just completed his fifth year and has more than 150 career wins in head coaching stints at York and Chicago St. Ignatius. This was Drumm’s third state finals appearance.

He led St. Ignatius to secondand third-place finishes in the state in 2010 (third) and 2011 (second).

4 on the 4th entry fee increases $5 on June 5 ELMHURST—The entry fee for the 2016 Elmhurst Running Club 4 on the 4th race will increase $5 at midnight on June 5. Registration and information about the race, which is presented by Prairie Path Foot and Ankle Clinic, can be found at 4on4th.com.

The 12th annual 4-mile race on the Fourth of July has a

“We encourage people to sign up early and also take

The chip-timed race starts and finishes on Prospect Avenue at Elmhurst College. Primary beneficiary of the event is the Elmhurst Children’s Assistance Foundation.

City crews respond to storm activity ELMHURST — City crews responded to stormwater activity in the evening on May 25.

Rain began to fall at approximately 4:30 p.m. with heavy downfalls at times. The first round of storms brought 1.8 inches of rain in 1½ hours. A second and third line of storms also hit the City prior to 10 p.m. and brought another .4 inches of rain, bringing the total to 2.2 inches.

The Palmer Drive Underpass was the only street closed during the storm due to minor flooding. No other areas had significant flooding.

While the city-wide contractual street sweeping is in the process of completion this week, some inlets were covered Submitted photo

Herbert Trettin was given his World War II medals by Army Major General James Mukoyama Jr. (a decorated Vietnam veteran) and Immanuel Lutheran Church’s Pastor Eric Allyn. Herb served in the Coast Guard on the USS Pueblo (1943-1946) during World War II. Presentation was made at the conclusion of Immanuel’s annual Memorial Service, remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice and those current and past veterans. Pictured from left to right are Trettin, Major General Mukoyama Jr., Trettin’s son, Paul Trettin (principal of Immanuel, Elmhurst) and Rev. Allyn.

with landscape waste, which caused localized minor flooding. The City encourages residents to frequently check inlets directly affecting their home, and consider removing leaves and debris to protect their property.

At the intersection of Jackson and Prospect, an existing excavation for sanitary sewer work experienced some minor collapse of the sidewalls. Elmhurst Police, Fire, Public Works, and the project contractor were on the scene to stabilize the walls and secure the site.

There was a report of a lighting strike of a tree at 161 Pine.

City crews removed the hanging branch from the tree.

New Elmhurst History Museum exhibit shares the irresistible appeal and spiel of America’s favorite TV pitchmen ELMHURST — It slices, it dices!” “Set it and forget it!”

“But wait, there’s more!”

Just about everyone of a certain age knows the infamous catchphrases of the Popeil family and their “amazing” products. It would be difficult not to. For over forty years, starting in the early 1960s, the Popeils’ high-energy television commercials made them familiar intruders into America’s living rooms.

The evidence of their seductive visits sit tucked away in America’s cupboards: countless Veg-O-Matics, Kitchen Magicians, Miracle Brooms, and other gadgets give silent testimony to the power of the family’s broadcast salesmanship. Even if the temptation to buy was resisted, their commercials and products remain indelibly imprinted in the annals of pop culture history.

Bringing gadgets out of the cupboard The Elmhurst History Museum debuts a new exhibit titled “But Wait, There’s More!,” opening June 17 through Sept. 18 at 120 E. Park Ave. The exhibit shares the Popeil story as a classic tale of hustle and chutzpah starting with the Popeil brothers Samuel and Raymond on beachfront boardwalks and county fairs in the 1930s and 1940s.

This original exhibit is based on the book “But Wait, There’s More! The Irresistible Appeal and Spiel of Ronco and Popeil” (published in 2002) by Timothy Samuelson, author and Chicago’s official cultural historian.

The exhibit showcases Samuelson’s extensive collection of Ronco and Popeil products, reflecting a collecting passion that started in young adulthood and led to a desire to understand who these guys were and how they became an American success story as the premiere pitchmen of convenience gadgetry.

Selling products no one knew they needed The “But Wait, There’s More!” exhibit was created by the Elmhurst History Museum staff and designed by curator of exhibits, Lance Tawzer. Samuelson and Tawzer have partnered before on projects at the Chicago Cultural Center, and Tawzer immediately saw the kitschy attraction of an exhibit based on Samuelson’s book and collection.

York alum internship at International Trade Center at U of Missouri COLUMBIA, Mo. — Elmhurst resident Tom Geoly recently took part in an internship with the award-winning International Trade Center at the University of Missouri.

He is one of just 15 student interns working there during the spring 2016 semester. The International Trade Center selects 12-15 students each

semester, who contribute at least 120 hours to projects for the Center, involving international market research.

“Working with the International Trade Center taught me how to take a large report and break it down into smaller, more manageable goals,” Geoly said. “I refined my project management skills

which is very beneficial for my future.”

A 2012 graduate of York Community High School, Geoly is a recent graduate of MU. He studied finance and banking and also was a member of the University of Missouri Banking and Investment Group. Geoly is a son of James Geoly and Vilia Dedinas.
