Last week, the Independent learned from the City of Elmhurst that former Mayor Charles “Chuck” Weigel, Jr. had passed away on Friday, July 6, at the age of 94. The City recalled Weigel including highlights from his Mayoral term from 19611973.

Born in Chicago in 1924 to Charles and Edith Weigel, he grew up on the northwest side of Chicago, attending Steinmetz High School. Weigel went to the University of Wisconsin and the University of Illinois after his service in the U.S. Army Air Corps in World War II. He graduated from the University of Illinois in 1947 with degrees in chemistry and math.

Along with his wife Mary Ruth “Pris,” Weigel purchased a home at 671 Washington St. in 1948, where he continued to reside through March. Mary Ruth passed away in December 2014. They had four children: Mary Jo (Chastain), Charles III, Vicki (Cobb) and Mark.

He was recalled to the service during the Korean War. Later, he was an officer and active in the management of a small manufacturing company known as Weigel-Miller Inc., located in Addison.

Active in the Elmhurst community and the surrounding area, Weigel served as President of the 5th Ward Improvement Association (1949); President and Chairman of the Board of the Addison Industrial Association (1957-1959); member of the Board of Directors of the Addison Chamber of Commerce (1954); member of

the Business & Professional Men’s Club of Elmhurst; Vice President and member of the Board of Directors for the Elmhurst Rotary Club; member of the Board of Directors to the Elmhurst YMCA; member of the Board

Weigel was elected Alderman of the 5th Ward and served on City Council from 1957-1961. He served three terms as Mayor of Elmhurst, elected in 1961, 1965 and 1969.

“When it’s the father of your children, it’s about family. It’s always about family.”

Those were the words of State Representative Deb Conroy sharing the news that she had donated a kidney to her former husband Tim. “More than anything, it was a gift for my boys,” she said, speaking of her four sons, Sean, 32, Ryan, 28, Brendan, 23 and Will, 21.

Tim Conroy had developed hypertension from a case of untreated strep throat he had as a child. Because of the hypertension, Tim ended up having a stroke when he was just 29 years old.

At that time, doctors and hospital officials said he would need to be placed on a list for a kidney transplant, but warned him that it could take as long as five to ten years for one to be available.

As many people know, people die every day, waiting for a kidney that never arrives.

Tim had his ups and down, but eventually became very sick and had to be on dialysis.

The ideal donor… herself!

“I went through the testing and found out I was a match,” she said. “It turns out two of my boys are as well.”

Conroy explained in an exclusive interview with the Independent what made her “an ideal donor.”

“I learned that, at my age I was the ideal donor,” she said. “At our age, [that is as an adult], hypertension has already started to reveal itself and I don’t have it so that made me a good match.”

Was it unusual for a husband and wife to be a match?

“Not necessarily,” she said. “Well, I don’t know exactly how it works, but it has to do with things like blood type and I am pretty ‘common’ when it comes to those kinds of things. I think it’s more difficult with rare blood types

“Pictured are the four reasons I became a live organ donor,” said State Representative Deb Conroy. They are, of course, her children (from left): Will, 21, Sean, 32, Brendan, 23, and Ryan, 28 – along with Shannon their dog. Conroy recently donated one of her kidneys to Tim, her ex-husband and the father of her four boys. “When something like this happens, we are all still family,” she added.

and so forth.”

She said it was good that two of the boys were also a match, in case something crops up later in Tim’s life, if the kidney should fail or something.

Because Tim contracted the problem due to untreated strep throat, it was not a biological or inherent issue that the children will have to worry about.

“As an adult, the doctors considered me safe to be a donor in that I do not have any kind of hypertension or other issues that might compromise my own kidneys,” she said. “My sons don’t have to worry about inheriting a problem, so eventually when they become full adults – assuming they are healthy – they could likely donate a kidney to Tim if something should go wrong with the transplant down the road. They just need to keep an eye on their own health because should one of them grow up to develop hypertension himself, he wouldn’t be able to donate a kidney. Still, it’s not like the boys are predisposed to kidney disease or any-

thing like that.”

The agony of waiting… and waiting…

Even though Deb was a match for Tim, there were still setbacks in getting the transplant scheduled and completed.

“The first surgery date was supposed to be two years ago,” she said.

“We were all set to go, we went in for our pre-surgical appointments. That’s when they discovered Tim had developed ‘hairy cell leukemia.’”

Yes, you read that right -- “hairy-cell leukemia.”

It’s very rare, according to Conroy.

“There are only 1500 cases in the entire country every year. The disease is treatable not curable. They use a drug that puts you into remission, if all goes well. We went through Rush [St. Luke’s Hospital] and I was really impressed with them.”

Once Tim developed the cancer, he was taken off the transplant list, but once it was under control, his oncologist went to the transplant team and petitioned to get him back on the list.

“In total, four surgery dates had to be canceled,” Conroy said. “The boys really took that hard. Just when you think everything is going to be all right, then there’s yet another hold-up.

“The process is a lot like grieving and everyone grieves in their own way.

My boys got through it pretty well.

Each one coped in his own way. They supported each other.”

Finally the date of June 20, 2018, came along and the surgery was able to be performed.

“The surgery is actually harder on the donor than the recipient,” Conroy explained. ”It takes two small holes and a small incision to get my kidney out. But on him, they don’t take anything out. They actually attach the new kidney in the front.”

Gratefully, the kidney began working immediately.

“The doctors were stunned, the kidney starting working right away,” she said. “The first thing they check is how much urine it’s able to produce and it was already making twice the amount

A bright future for Tim Conroy She said Tim is in better shape than ever, now that he has the new kidney.

“He no longer has high blood pressure, in fact, all the things he dealt with before are gone now,” she said. “All he does now is, he goes in one day a week for blood work and they monitor the meds he is on to make sure it’s working for him.”

A person only needs one kidney to live so it is possible to be a donor and still have good quality of life. Conroy said there have been great strides in liver transplants in the recent past.

“They can now take a portion of the liver and implant it and it regenerates itself,” she said. “It will grow inside the recipient and also regenerate itself inside the donor.”

It is the enzymes in your kidneys that affect blood pressure and that is what caused Tim’s stroke at the age of 29, Conroy said. He remained on medication for years to keep him from further damage.

Her sons breathe a long sigh of relief “The kids have been holding their breath for about three years, and now are beginning to exhale slowly,” she said. “It’s inspiring to see them. Right now, they feel like they’ve won the lottery.

“You don’t really know how much relief it is when you’ve waited so long for everything to be okay and keep getting setbacks, and then finally everything IS okay. It’s a huge relief.”

How is she getting along now?

“It was amazing, I was up on my feet the same day [as the surgery], went home from the hospital the day after the surgery and two weeks later, I was at a White Sox game with my mother,” she said. “My mother is a little Irish lady who doesn’t drink but she had two shots of Bailey’s that day and she was having a great time!”

Ask what surprised her about the procedure, Conroy said she found it easier than she expected.

“I couldn’t believe I was feeling as good as I was,” she said. “I was up and walking around the same day and left the hospital the following day.

“Sure I get worn out and get tired, but there’s a lift, an energy you get from knowing this sick person that you helped is now very likely going to live a long, full life.”

As far as Tim is concerned, needless to say his quality of life has greatly improved. His illness required to him to retire early – at age 55 – but as a union laborer, he had a sound benefits package and pension for retirement “Now that he’s healthy and retired, he can pursue all the things he’s ever wanted to,” Deb said. “And I’m happy for him for that as well.”

It is no surprise that Conroy recently backed legislation that would allow 16- and 17-year-olds to donate organs.

“So many people are waiting,” she said. “Hundreds of people die every year. Being a live donor means you save a life and it’s not really even that taxing physically.

“But I feel like I actually saved five lives – my husband and my four sons.”

Superior Ambulance medical helicopter crashes on Chicago’s south side Official: Pilot may have saved lives in accident with four aboard

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

While an ambulance crash – in the air or on the street – is never good news, the accident that took place on the evening of Saturday, July 7, turned out to be minimally troubling, mostly thanks to the pilot’s level-headed and conscientious actions.

According to authorities, the helicopter, an Air Ambulance owned

by Superior Air-Ground Ambulance Service, was headed toward Gary Airport when it crashed in a grassy median near the I-57 and I-94 intersection with four passengers on board.

Superior said it had received reports around 9:15 p.m. that evening.

According to Chicago Fire Department Deputy District Chief Lynda Turner, the helicopter crashed onto its belly and its rotors were still intact when emergency crews arrived.

Smoke was escaping from the helicopter but it did not catch fire.

“The pilot did an excellent job of landing a helicopter that was in an emergency situation,” Turner said in a statement to the press.

Three of the helicopter’s occupants had evacuated by the time emergency crews arrived, Turner said.

Fire crews were then able to remove the patient who was originally being transported. Two people were taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, while two others were taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where they were all listed in serious to critical condition.

When the weather permits, Superior Ambulance in Elmhurst sends one of its ambulance helicopters to Berens Park for the Elmhurst Park District’s annual Touch a Truck event. Kids and adults alike not only enjoy seeing it up close, but marvel at watching it set down. Superior Ambulance frequently sponsors special events in the community, including the upcoming Elmhurst Cycling Classic. One of Superior’s helicopters crashed on Chicago’s South Side on July 7, but thanks to a level-headed and conscientious pilot, things went as well as could be expected with minimal injuries.

The conditions of three of the people later stabilized.

The cause and circumstances of the crash were under investigation by state police, the FAA, and the National Transportation Safety Board.

Northbound lanes on I-57 and southbound lanes on I-94 remained closed by state police on the morning of Sunday, July 8 as police investigated.

Pilot likely saved lives The pilot may have saved lives by crashing the helicopter in a grassy area on the south side of Chicago rather than on major interstate highways or a nearby train station, officials said Sunday.

According to Chicago Fire Deputy District Chief Walter Schroeder, the four people onboard Saturday evening were injured but no one was hurt on

the ground. The patient in the helicopter was taken to a hospital in critical condition, while the three crew members onboard were transported in stable condition.

Schroeder said the pilot issued a “mayday” call before the crash, but the exact cause was not yet known. He commended the pilot for putting the aircraft down in a grassy median away from traffic.

The FAA and The National Transportation Safety Board continue their investigation into the cause of the crash. Results of the FAA report will not be made public until the investigation concludes, which could take up to a month, spokesman Tony Molinaro said. Peter Knudson, a NTSB spokesman, said its investigation will be finished in one to two weeks.

Company responds to incident “At Superior we have been working quickly to gather information about the incident,” said David Hill III, president and CEO of Superior Air-Ground Ambulance Service. “Our immediate concern was for the well-being of our crewmembers and the patient that was being transported. All are currently in the care of medical professionals and we have specially trained team members assisting them directly.

“It has always been our company policy to protect the privacy of all of our employees and patients and we will not be releasing their names or medical information.”

As with any aviation accident that is under investigation, the NTSB is the only official communicator of accident-related information, Hill said.

Health care information regulations and Superior’s internal confidentiality policies prohibit any release or discussion of patient information.

“We expect the aircraft to be removed for further examination shortly, and this message is expected to be our last communication,” Hill added.

“We wish to thank everyone who has expressed so much support to our company. We sincerely appreciate the first responders who provided outstanding support and assistance, including the Chicago Police and Fire Department, the Office of Emergency Management and Communications and the State of Illinois Police.”

‘Chicago Rink Rats’ exhibition opens at History Museum Skating enthusiasts turn out to recall memories, strap on skates again

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Even if you didn’t grow up in Elmhurst, most of the current Baby Boomers grew up around roller-skating in one way or another.

Some may have simply tightened the skates with a key and taken off down the sidewalk, while others may have spent their early years at a roller rink where they held hands and skated with a crush as the first foray into romance.

The romance of the roller rink was the theme on the evening of Friday, July 13, when more than 100 guests turned out at the Elmhurst History Museum for opening night of the newest locally-curated exhibition, “Chicago Rink Rats: The Golden Age of Roller Skating.” The show will remain on display through Nov. 4.

A temporary roller rink (much like a portable dance floor) was assembled on the

grounds of the Museum to allow guests to try their hand at the old pastime of rollerskating. Skates were even made available for those who wanted to go for a spin. It was an attempt to re-create The Elm Skating Rink that was a hot spot for teens in Elmhurst through the 1950s and 60s.

The exhibit is the namesake of a book by author Tom Russo, who was on hand inside the Museum on Friday night to talk about his book and sign copies for guests. The walls of the Museum were adorned with many types of photos and various memorabilia from skating days gone by, including a big map pointing out all the area rinks throughout the Chicagoland area.

Professional groups came out for the evening including skaters from Chicago Roller Talent. Most of the fun took place on or near the rink, where kids of all ages – literally all ages, one man was 87! – enjoyed skating or watching the others.

Whatever your own teen memories of skating might be, this is one exhibition you won’t want to miss. For more information, visit elmhursthistory.org or call 630-8331457.

League’s Executive Committee.

In 1965, Weigel was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws from Elmhurst College. In 1972, he received the Elmhurst Jaycees Distinguished Service Award (1972).

(Weigel’s full obituary appears on this page.)

Weigel sees City through volatile times Several pressing issues arose during Weigel’s tenure as Mayor.

These included flooding and the resulting major public works projects of separating storm and sanitary sewers; O’Hare Airport zoning; expansion of Elmhurst Memorial Hospital; the establishment in 1972 of a recycling center co-sponsored by the City and the Elmhurst Environmental Committee; annexation; land use;

an addition to Elmhurst Public Library; city planning, and the passage of a local fair housing/open housing ordinance (1970.)

Weigel is credited for having established the industrial park in north Elmhurst.

Elected City officials share memories Mayor Steve Morley released the following statement: “On behalf of City Council, we extend the Weigel family our deepest sympathy. Mayor Weigel’s service to the City of Elmhurst and his outstanding achievement towards improvements have contributed to the town we know and cherish today.”

Seventh Ward Alderman Mark Mulliner had this to say: “Charles was one of those people

More crime news Potential home thief discovered by surveillance footage On July 10, a victim in the 800 block of N. Lombard told police at around 12:56 a.m. that while reviewing her security camera footage from July 10, she observed a male with no shirt or shoes attempt to gain entry to her garage. Police said the male was unable to gain access to the garage due to the door being locked and left the area. A reporting officer made contact with William G. Amarantos, 29, of Elmhurst, whom police said admitted to being the subject depicted in the video. He was charged with prowling and served with a no-trespass notice.

Knife-wielding youth in mask claimed to be playing Pokémon Go On July 10, police said officers responded to Wilder Park at around 9:24 p.m. after a report of someone being chased with a knife while wearing a mask. The juvenile suspect was located and was in posses-

Subsequent to an investigation that began on June 6, Hill was allegedly found to have distributed electronic

Hill was released on bond.

Growing number of gun sanctuary counties in Illinois sparks concerns ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK In Illinois, gun laws are being discussed at the local level in county and city governments in a trend that some see as a political charade and others see as a fight against reactionary legislation.

According to the Belleville News-Democrat, 26 of Illinois’ 102 counties have some resolution making the jurisdiction a safe haven for law-abiding gun owners.

The efforts resemble so-called

“sanctuary cities,” where officials vote on resolutions urging local law enforcement not to comply with federal immigration laws. For gun sanctuary counties in Illinois, the resolutions urge local law enforcement not to enforce state or federal gun control measures.

who set the foundation for what Elmhurst is today. He was an example of a ‘Statesman Mayor.’”

Former Mayor Thomas D. Marcucci recalled Weigel thusly: “I think he was a fabulous mayor, great for the City of Elmhurst, he shepherded us into the modern era of Chicago suburbs. He was a wonderful gentlemen.

“When I was first elected mayor back in 1993, he stopped by City Hall -- without an appointment -- asked to see me, I went up to the counter. He said, ‘Mayor great to see you,’ and I went to let him in, but he said he just wanted to introduce himself and let me know ‘if you need any help, anything that I can do to help you be successful, let me know.’

“He took the time to do that I was always grateful for that.”

unlocked—were reported in the 400 block of N. Howard, the 200 block of E. Grantley, the 200 block of N. Illinois and the 200 block of N. Willow between the above dates. In five of the seven instances, police said patrol officers discovered the victims’ vehicles had been entered, but nothing of value was taken, though contents inside some of the vehicles were disturbed.

In the other two instances, a vehicle had its interior disturbed with items removed from the glove box and center console, while in the other instance, a victim told police that cash and a CD were taken from the vehicle.

Mazzochi pledges to vote to replace Madigan Machine, impose legislative term limits Flanked by various DuPage Republican Senate and House leadership, Deanne Mazzochi, State Representative candidate for House District 47, which encompasses Elmhurst, Oak Brook Terrace, Oak Brook, Clarendon Hills, Hinsdale, Downers Grove and Westmont, expressed her support for the “People’s Pledge.” The People’s Pledge rejects the “corruption and cronyism that has plagued Illinois for decades,” and seeks to bring “reform-minded legislators to the General Assembly who have the courage to act to make state government more effective, efficient, accountable” and put power “squarely back in the hands of the people of Illinois – where it belongs.”

Regarding the “no Madigan” pledge, Mazzochi explained, “I’ve been on enough doorsteps in this district to confirm one bipartisan sentiment: ‘Take a hike Mike.’ Five decades is more than enough.”

A private practice litigator, Mazzochi characterized the pledge as an important first step, but warned that merely voting “no” to Madigan would not alone end Madigan manipulations. Mazzochi observed that in the past, Democrats who promised to vote against Madigan voted for themselves or another no-viable candidate, effectively allowing Madigan to stay in charge.

“Voting for a Madigan puppet will perpetuate, not eliminate, the corruption problem,” she said, adding that, “Illinois is a great state, with great people, but we have to stop putting power politics over good policy. We need independent thinkers willing to look for innovative, creative solutions and do what is fair and right to protect our families; and ensure Illinois has a better future.”

Mazzochi confirmed she strongly supports the term limits pledge.

“We want part-time citizen legislators working for the people, not living off Madigan/Pritzker crumbs,” she said. Mazzochi expressed doubt that her opponent, who quit his job to politically organize this campaign season, could preserve his independence against the Madigan machine in Springfield.

First elected to the College of DuPage Board of Trustees in April 2015 to clean up the mess at the scandal-ridden college, Mazzochi was elected Chairman of the Board in December 2015. Since then, the College fired multiple individuals involved; hired a new President and Treasurer; balanced the budget; reduced taxes and tuition; paid down bond debt; expanded student programs; and led the restoration of the College to full accreditation status with the Higher Learning Commission.

Pictured at the lectern surrounded by state elected officials is Deanne Mazzochi, State Representative candidate for House District 47, who vowed to reject the “corruption and cronyism that has plagued Illinois for decades.” Further, she took the “no Madigan” pledge. “I’ve been on enough doorsteps in this district to confirm one bipartisan sentiment: ‘Take a hike Mike.’ Five decades is more than enough.”

The success of Mazzochi’s reform efforts at the College of DuPage made her the uncontested preference in the Republican primary. She is likely to

be appointed to the seat prior to the head Illinois’ Department of HealthNovember general election due to the care and Family Services.

Mazzochi lives in Elmhurst with recent resignation of Representative Patti Bellock, who was appointed to her husband and two children.

News from Washington D.C. Krishnamoorthi finds Trump’s Supreme Court nomination ‘deeply disturbing’ In response to President Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to the Supreme Court, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi issued the following statement on July 10: “President Trump’s nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is a moment of great concern for millions of Americans. The next Justice to join the Court will be in a position to uphold or overturn key rulings preserving reproductive rights, access to affordable health care for all Americans, and legal protections preventing discrimination against our LGBTQ friends, relatives, and neighbors. In light of Judge Kavanaugh’s record on the bench and in legal scholarship, I find his nomination deeply disturbing.

“From Linda Brown to James Obergefell, millions of Americans have depended on the Supreme Court to uphold their rights and protect them from discrimination.

The Senate must ensure that Judge Kavanaugh will commit to preserving, protecting, and upholding those hard-won Constitutional rights and reject his nomination if he would turn his back on them.”

Congressman calls for release of records of Kavanaugh’s public service Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi wrote to the Archivist of the U.S. on July 11 to urge him to make public all documents related to Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s

public service as the Obama administration did for the Supreme Court nomination of Elena Kagan.

The text of the letter reads as follows: TO: David S. Ferriero, Archivist of the United States, National Archives and Records Administration “Under your leadership, the National Archives made nearly 170,000 pages of records available to the public related to Justice Elena Kagan’s time serving under President Clinton. This information allowed the U.S. Senate and the American people to fully vet her nomination to our nation’s highest court. We now respectfully ask you to do the same for Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

“Judge Kavanaugh has spent several years working for the federal government, first in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Special Counsel under Kenneth Starr and later as Associate Counsel, White House Staff Secretary and Assistant to President George W. Bush.

The American people deserve open and transparent information about Judge Kavanaugh’s work on the Starr Report, the Bush’s administration’s detention and interrogation policies, and any other matters he worked on during his time in government.

“I urge you to work with the White House and the George W. Bush Presidential Library to make public all documents related to Judge Kavanaugh’s federal service. I understand that expediting the release of these files will be a significant undertaking, but it is essential that the Senate and the American public can give full consideration to Judge Kavanaugh’s qualifications,

character, and legal perspective.

“I thank you for your consideration in this matter, and I look forward to your work on this issue.”

Raja Krishnamoorthi Member of Congress Raja: ‘Trump must discuss indicted Russian military hackers with Putin in Helsinki’ Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi released the following statement in response to Special Counsel Rod Rosenstein’s announcement of 12 indictments for Russian hackers who stole data and documents from the Democratic National Committee, state boards of elections, secretaries of state, and many other key organizations who make up our democratic infrastructure: “If anything, these indictments are a strong reminder to the American people that Russia did have a role in our 2016 presidential election - a direct assault on the integrity of our democracy. If President Trump does not raise this issue in his meeting with Vladimir Putin next week, or if he chooses to accept Putin’s version of events over the findings of our own intelligence community, Congress must investigate the reasons behind this unprecedented behavior. President Trump was fully briefed on these indictments, and there is no excuse for any failure to defend the integrity of our elections.

Defending our nation should not be a partisan issue, and the American people are ready for the President to publicly confront Putin.”

DGTT Foundation urges community to step forward for Lucy Shannon Young girl fights early months with heart transplant

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

“We don’t normally use our forum to promoted causes other than our own, But this is personal. One of our own needs our help.”

This was a quote from Dan Gibbons, founder of the Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot Foundation, which raises funds and resources for those who are going hungry in DuPage County. He has agreed to step outside its mission to help the hungry in order to assist a little girl who belongs to one of the DGTT Foundation’s Board members.

Betsy Shannon, treasurer and finance chair of the DGTT Foundation, has taken hiatus as a board member to assist her daughter Lucy. Four years and a few months ago, Betsy and her husband Mike’s first child Lucy was diagnosed as having been born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, a rare congenital heart defect where the left half of her heart will never develop.

After numerous open-heart surgeries at Advocate Christ Hospital during her first four years of life, Lucy’s doctors and heart team determined that she needed to be evaluated as a potential candidate for a heart transplant.

She was then transferred to Lurie’s Children’s Hospital in midMarch, where she was evaluated and determined to be a candidate

with 1A classification.

Betsy and Mike were told that the wait for a donor match could take six to eight months, possibly longer with no guarantees.

Unbelievably, a donor heart became available in the first month.

In April, Lucy received her new heart and was doing very well. After weeks of testing and close monitoring, Lucy was determined ready to leave to go home – a family is reunited!

Betsy advised that Lucy has had complications and setbacks since her operation that proves that her journey to health continues and she still needs the assistance of the Elmhurst community.

“All this comes at a huge astronomical price,” said Gibbons. “We need to help.”

About Lanes for Lucy There will be a chance to help the Shannons at an event called “Lanes for Lucy” to be held Sunday, July 22 from 2-5 p.m. at Stardust Bowl, 37 East Lorraine Ave., in Addison.

It will be an afternoon of Crazy Bowling and Fun. Tickets for bowling is $76 per person. (There are typically four people per lane, if you set up a group.)

Cash or check can be mailed to Debbie Hagensee, at 485 Montrose, Elmhurst. Tickets include a buffet luncheon, coffee and soda. A cash bar will be available.

Tickets for the luncheon only with no bowling are $25 each.

There will be split-the-pot and other games of chance to raise funds for Lucy.

Annual Garden Walk & Faire deemed successful

By Marisa Mancini

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENEDENT

Blue skies abounded for the Elmhurst Garden Club’s 23rd annual Garden Walk & Faire.

An Afternoon in the Garden, which took place on Sunday, July 8 and showcased five stunning private Elmhurst gardens, each reflecting the hard work, creativity, and personality of their homeowners. Also included were the newly developed Marjorie Davies Park Community Garden Plots, consisting of the 52 community garden plots located at 285 W. Grantley.

Garden Walk Chairperson Penny O’Neill coordinated the Garden Walk efforts from start to finish. Due to the scope of the project, nearly every Garden Club member helped in

some way to make the event such a success.

Garden Club committee members estimated nearly 800 ticket books were sold for the event, making it one of the most successful Garden Walks in the club’s history.

The funds raised go to many worthy causes including scholarships for Illinois students majoring in horticulture, environmental studies and related fields, Elmhurst College arboretum, Ray Graham Community Center, York Community High School Garden Club, Elmhurst Public Library, Elmhurst Park District, and the Elmhurst YMCA. Information about the Elmhurst Garden Club, including information on becoming a member, can be found at elmhurstgardenclub.com.

Held annually on the second Sunday in July, An Afternoon in the Garden featured the opulent garden of Fran and Larry Rychlowski on Eggleston Avenue. The Rychlowskis (pictured above) stand between two small waterfalls that flow into a wonderful stream that leads to a second tier deck complete with an outdoor kitchen, a fire feature with natural cracked glass, and an outdoor dining table to accommodate their family and friends.

Inspired to buy new plants after touring the beautiful gardens, Wan consulted with Susan Bontrager (right) of Red Barn Green House, Centerville, Mich., prior to her purchase. More than 50 vendors selling a variety of plants and garden-related arts and crafts also participated in the Faire. Red Barn has participated in the Faire for 18 years.

The Johnsons, Elmhurst residents for 17 years, have made the Elmhurst Garden Walk and Faire their annual traditional for the past 10 years.

Sponsored in cooperation with the Elmhurst Park District, the Elmhurst Garden Walk and Faire was held on July 8, and was attended by nearly 800 participants.

For the past 15 years, Garden Club member Bev Schripsema (far right) has organized a group of 12 friends to attend the Elmhurst Garden Walk and Faire with her, including (from left) Margie McInerney, Joann Schwichtemberg and Eileen Kushida. The women stand beside a patch of magnificent yellow onions, part of the 30 x 30-foot vegetable garden with 10 raised beds constructed by homeowner Michael Bourdage, who retired from the City of Elmhurst’s Forestry Department after 39 years. Created only three years ago, the garden contains 19 varieties of vegetables including snap peas, zucchini, three varieties of peppers, pumpkins, and watermelons.

Linden Oaks offers programs for those struggling with opioid addiction Uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms can be a major barrier for those attempting to recover from addiction to opioids.

“You might experience bad flulike symptoms, such as muscle aches and fatigue,” says Aaron Weiner, PhD, Director of Addiction Services at Linden Oaks Behavioral Health in Naperville. “There are ways of managing these symptoms. Although withdrawal from opioids can’t kill you, it can be extremely unpleasant, stopping many from wanting to move forward towards health.”

The first option, ongoing medication-assisted therapy, can be initiated either in an inpatient or outpatient environment. Some addiction programs administer methadone, but at the Linden Oaks MedicationAssisted Therapy (MAT) Clinic, patients receive Suboxone, which is a combination of buprenorphine and

naloxone, which is used to reverse overdoses.

“Buprenorphine is less sedating than methadone and easier than methadone to taper off from when the person is ready to stay sober without any pharmaceutical assistance,” says Dr. Weiner.

According to the Merck Manual Consumer Version, “In many countries, buprenorphine has replaced methadone in detoxification programs.”

Linden Oaks’ MAT Clinic also features medical supervision, regular drug testing and group therapy.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, a key approach used in the group sessions, helps patients challenge negative patterns of thought that lead to unwanted consequences, such as acting on cravings.

management of withdrawal symptoms while the body rids itself of opioids. As is the case with MAT, this approach is followed by counseling and other long-term support.

For those choosing this option, Linden Oaks eases withdrawal symptoms in the medically monitored inpatient detoxification unit. There, under the care of a psychiatrist and other Linden Oaks addiction specialists, support, monitoring and medications for specific symptoms, such as anti-nausea pills, are provided.

Says Dr. Weiner, “This approach can work for some, especially if they’ve only been using opioids for a short time. But in general, studies have found up to a 90 percent relapse rate for people who don’t use medications to begin their period of sobriety from opioids.”

For those choosing to begin sobriA second option is short-term ety with the help of Linden Oaks’

MAT Clinic, services are available without a physician’s order to anyone who wants to begin the process of change. A patient can start at the clinic, or move there after an inpatient, residential or outpatient treatment program.

In addition to the MAT Clinic, Linden Oaks Addiction Services offers a variety of treatment levels, including weekly outpatient therapy sessions, structured programs that run 3-6 hours each weekday, and a full-time residential program. Linden Oaks offers addiction treatment services in Naperville, Plainfield, St. Charles, Hinsdale and Arlington Heights.

DMMC appoints new president Wood Dale mayor seeks more collaboration among municipalities one-year term. In addition, Naperville Mayor Steve Chirico, who served last year as DMMC Legislative Deputy Director, was named Vice President.

“DMMC is a powerful voice that speaks out for the needs of municipalities, and by extension, their residents,” Chirico said. “By working together to identify our shared goals and needs and move those forward in Springfield, our cities and villages are achieving far more together than we would apart. I look forward to continued success as a coalition in the coming year as we continue to work together for our region’s needs.”

The DMMC has worked successfully with partner organizations to reduce the amount of local funds the state had sought during the spring legislative session, Pulice noted.

Municipalities throughout the state banded together this year to cut the amount of local government distributive fund dollars the state threatened

to take from 10 percent to 5 percent.

Mayors also reduced the state’s share of the sales tax collection fee charged to municipalities from 2 percent to 1.5 percent. Both initiatives saved Illinois municipalities a total of nearly $80 million.

Re-elected as Wood Dale’s mayor for a second term in April 2016, Pulice previously served as an alderman. Having lived in Wood Dale with his family for the past 30 years, he was asked to run for alderman after volunteering for a number of city

committees and local issues.

Pulice pledges to work towards policies that best serve all residents, including the ability to enact crime free housing programs and use existing hotel-motel tax revenues to pay for infrastructure projects.

Congressman: Feds should reconsider Illinois for new facility after allegations of fraud in Missouri

ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK

An Illinois congressman is calling on federal officials to reconsider putting a new military installation in St. Louis after new allegations of fraud by a key player in the land deal. He wants it in his district.

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency chose a plot in St. Louis to build its western

headquarters in 2016 over a proposed spot next to Scott Air Force Base across the river in Illinois.

The Missouri Attorney General has sued the developer of the site for tax credit fraud. The suit, in addition to other concerns with the selection process, is what Murphysboro Congressman Mike Bost wants to talk to NGA leaders

about.

“We’re asking them to stop, look this over and understand that the St. Clair County, Illinois, site is still available,” he said. “There’s been one problem after another having it located in the city and not out where it’s safe and secure.”

See CONGRESSMAN, Page 16

320751

Newly-appointed DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference (DMMC) President Annunziato “Nunzio” Pulice’s top priority is to unify municipalities on key issues and to safeguard local tax revenue.

“The past several years of having to go to Springfield every year and demand that we keep our tax dollars in our communities reinforces the need for Illinois mayors to become more united and speak in one voice,” said Pulice, who also serves as the Mayor of west suburban Wood Dale.

“If we don’t stick together and find common ground and solutions to the challenges confronting local cities and villages, we become divided and municipalities and residents lose in the end. Each town in the Conference has its individual needs but we need to find ways to work together as one.”

Pulice took over as President of DMMC after Addison Mayor Richard Veenstra recently completed his

State groups eye signs from Trump’s Supreme Court nominee on key issues ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK

President Donald Trump’s most recent nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court could make decisions that affect Illinois on everything from gun rights to privacy, and state groups such as the ACLU of Illinois are closely watching the process with an eye toward what it means for this state.

Trump nominated D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals judge Brett Kavanaugh for a lifetime appointment to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy.

Kavanaugh could shift the court to the right, which has the potential to

ACLU shares concerns about drones, etc.

American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois’ Ed Yohnka said other issues the nation’s high court could take up from Illinois could deal with technologies law enforcement agencies are using that trigger privacy concerns.

“Whether it’s (cell phone interceptors commonly called) Stingrays, whether it’s drones, whether it’s other things that could be put into place that could ultimately yield one of these kinds of challenges,” Yohnka said. “I think it’s just frankly a matter of what cases get there and when and how the justices ultimately examine them in light of the facts that are before them.”

Reform sought in map-making policy Jeff Raines with Change Illinois, a group that wants to take political map-making away from lawmakers, said the court has shown it can’t make its mind up on gerrymandering by punting a couple cases in the most recent term.

Raines said Illinois voters can’t wait for another case to be punted.

“Illinois is still able to reform their maps without needing the United States Supreme Court to be involved in this process,” Raines said. “The citizens and the General Assembly both have a voice and the ability to change the system and should.”

(Continued from page 15) “You can put it adjacent to a military base where you can have control and put the setbacks in place for your security,” he said.

The three levels of “setbacks” or security threats, Bost said that they would face, ranging from a Boston Marathon-style attack where a pedestrian plants an explosive, to a van-based attack similar to the Oklahoma City bombing.

“You can’t protect against those attacks in the city,” he said.

In its assessment of the Illinois-based proposal, Bost said the Army Corps of Engineers mentioned an environmental hazard near the Osage River. That’s problematic, he

said, because the Osage River runs through St. Clair County, Missouri, not Illinois.

Bost said Cardillo had not responded to his letter. A spokeswoman for the spy agency said the NGA remained committed to the St. Louis site.

“Following a review of mission needs, security, cost, environmental analysis, schedule implications, laws, policy, regulations, and executive orders, NGA decided the St. Louis City site is the right choice for its future and the policymakers, warfighters and first responders that depend on the agency’s services,” the spokeswoman said.

Dynamic Strength in Oakbrook Terrace was opened in 2003 by Nicki Casale.

Nicki is a personal fitness trainer with over 25 years of fitness and nutrition experience. She has served the Elmhurst, Oak Brook and surrounding communities for the past 15 years.

Watching my stepfather slowly deteriorate as he got older was the main reason I opened Dynamic Strength.

Several years ago, I noticed my stepfather starting to slow down. His daily tasks were becoming more difficult for him and I noticed he started to shuffle a little bit when he walked. I knew if I could get him to exercise he would be able to do more and feel better. Although, having not worked out a day in his life, I knew that it would be almost impossible to get him into a gym.

That’s when I knew that Slow Motion Strength Training would be an excellent type of exercise for him and it would provide others who are not accustomed to exercising the opportunity to regain their muscular strength, become fit and healthy again.

We have helped many people achieve

goals they never thought they would reach. Regardless of your age or fitness level, you can expect to shed body fat, increase muscular strength and endurance, lower cholesterol levels, improve bone density, balance and coordination.

It is such a rewarding experience to see how people progress in their training and become a younger version of themselves and that’s why I love what I do!

If you’re interested in learning more, let us take you through a sample work out and you can see for yourself how we can change your life as well!

Four tours to explore Wisconsin by water

Cruise on a vintage sailboat --Ephraim Eagle Harbor in the center of Ephraim is a magnificent bay adorned with sailboat masts swaying in the wind. White-washed clapboard buildings dot the lakeside village that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

One of the best ways to kick back and enjoy Ephraim’s picturesque coastline is by sailing aboard Scuppers, a vintage sailboat navigated

by Captain Tom Schroeder of Bella Sailing Cruises. Sailing aboard the 26- foot twin-masted sailboat is a water vacation like no other. No worries if you’ve never sailed before, all ages and sailing abilities are welcome.

Dells Boat Tour.

The best way to see the Upper and Lower Dells is aboard a double-decker boat. The Upper Dells glides you by incredible rock ledges that tower above the river, and pauses for shore landings at Witches Gulch, a spooky and spectacular canyon carved into the stone, and Stand Rock.

Best views of our favorite Great Lake!

Michigan’s downtowns offer vibrant art and music scenes, tastes that reflect global diversity and nightly entertainment that help visitors get to know the city. Pure Michigan is celebrating the dynamic and authentic urban environments across the state with a new digital campaign launching today.

Aimed to inspire millennial travelers by highlighting the unique ecosystems that combine art and culture with people and foods, the Urban DNA campaign utilizes influencers and video to introduce travelers to Detroit, Ann Arbor, Flint, Lansing, Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, encouraging them to ‘Seek Authenticity.’

“The Urban DNA campaign highlights the unique cultures found in each of our state’s largest cities,” said Dave Lorenz, vice president of Travel Michigan, part of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. “We hope that in seeing what Michigan’s cities have to offer through the lens of residents with passion for their communities, travelers will be inspired to experience the foods, cultures and arts that Michigan cities have to offer.”

A key component of the campaign is a series of videos hosted by Detroit native and co-founder of Slow Roll, Jason Hall. The six-part series will take viewers on a tour of urban cores in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Kalamazoo and Flint – telling each city’s story through business owners and residents of these distinct destinations. The videos will be promoted in advertising and can be watched at michigan.org/cities.

Hall’s voice will also be heard on spots running on Expedia and Spotify as part of the Urban DNA campaign.

The campaign, with a budget of $1.2 million, seeks to attract and inspire visitors from key markets across Michigan and the Great Lakes region – including Chicago, Ill., Fort Wayne, Indianapolis and South Bend, Ind., Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo Ohio; Green Bay and Milwaukee, Wis.; and Pittsburgh, Pa. – to take an overnight trip get to know one of our vibrant Michigan cities.

Pure Michigan will also work with social media influencers to help spread the Urban DNA story. These influencers have an affinity for travel and are millennials with an interest in arts and culture. In addition, custom content will be created for Thrillist with articles highlighting each city, and two murals will be painted on walls in the Wicker Park and Uptown neighborhoods of Chicago to further generate awareness of Urban DNA. These components will complement traditional digital and social advertising.

Meeting up with friends and neighbors

Above: On Friday, July 13, residents, friends and neighbors turned out for opening night of the Elmhurst History Museum’s Chicago Rink Rats exhibition. It was a good night to watch or try out some rollerskating or just to catch up with friends.

Right: These two young ladies clearly know what they are doing on the roller rink because they were able to stay on their feet, err, their wheels, while holding a conversation. It was all part of the History Museum’s Chicago Rink Rats exhibition which opened Friday, July 13.

Slices of life We play a name-that-tune game in the car while listening to the radio.

Whoever is first to blurt the title of a song and the name of the group or artist singing it wins. Last weekend I encountered a melody unfamiliar to me. When I fessed up to this, my husband said, “It’s a song from the 90s.”

He thought he was giving me a hint. Little did he know a hint would do me no good. I was beyond rescue and redemption.

The 90s – ha! I know practically nothing from the decade. Not songs.

Not pop culture. Not TV shows. Not

The lost decade of the 90s By

JILL PERTLER Slices of Life

movies (unless they were Disney).

It’s like I slept through the 90s except just the opposite was true.

The 90s are a blur for me – a decade long haze people might experience after indulging in excessive amounts of sex, drugs and rock and

roll. I wish. My haze was nothing like that. Although I guess sex did play a significant a part in it. You can’t have babies without it.

And babies filled the bulk of my 90s. I spent most of the decade in a sticky, sleep-deprived stupor caused by pregnancy and infants and (thankfully only) one colossal case of the colic.

Funny I hadn’t realized it before, but when I did the math I spent close to 90 percent of the 90s either pregnant, nursing, changing diapers or all of the above.

I spent most of 1991 pregnant, ‘92

Illinois taxpayer-funded abortions increase at least 274 percent in first six months of 2018 ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK Illinois taxpayers paid for nearly four times more abortions in the first six months of 2018 than the year before, and one state lawmakers expects the total number to eventually be much larger.

Records of the number of abortion reimbursement requests Illinois News Network obtained through an open records request from the Illinois Department of Health and Family Services showed 84 abortions from January to June last year.

The same time period this year, there were 314 abortions. That’s a 274 percent increase of taxpayer-funded abortions.

State Rep. Peter Breen, who opposed taxpayer-funded abortions, said the state law he’s challenging in the courts that went into effect Jan. 1 is the cause for the spike.

“By the time this program gets ramped up, these numbers are going to be ten times what these preliminary numbers are,” said Breen, R-Lombard.

Gov. Bruce Rauner signed House Bill 40 last fall. The law allowed for state tax dollars to be used for abortions for Medicaid recipients and state employees and their dependents

covered by state employee health coverage.

“With access to abortion under attack at the federal level, it is essential to make sure that women will have access to safe and legal abortion in Illinois,” said Julie Lynn, manager of external affairs for Planned Parenthood of Illinois. “HB 40 ended the discriminatory practice of denying women in Illinois coverage based on how much money she makes or where she works.”

For the first six months of 2017, the HFS document showed the provider charge amount for the 84 procedures was $129,467, with a total payment of $14,995.29. For the same time period in 2018 for the 314 procedures the provider charge amount was $426,583 with a payment total of $24,389. The state mandates that it is the payor of last resort Breen predicted those totals would increase over time. The HFS document said the data for the first six months of this year “is likely incomplete.”

“Providers have 180 days from the date of service to submit a claim to HFS for fee-for-service claims or to the contractual managed care entity for managed care claims,” the HFS

report said. “There may be an additional 90-day lag for managed care claims to be available.”

The state also tracks abortions that aren’t funded by tax dollars.

In 2014 the Illinois Department of Public Health said there were 33,247 Illinois residents that had a pregnancy terminated. There were 2,970 performed on out-of-state individuals.

By 2016, the most recent published data, 32,663 Illinois residents had abortions, less than in 2014. But in 2016 there were were 4,543 out-ofstate individuals that got an abortion in Illinois, 1,573 more than in 2014.

Breen predicted HB 40 will also increase the number of abortions on people from out of state.

“Our neighboring states have decided to put additional regulations on abortion, that’s No. 1,” Breen said.

“No. 2 is also that our Medicaid eligibility requirements are so lenient that we expect folks are going to come in from out of state, they will establish temporary residence to get their free abortion and then go home.”

Lynn said that wasn’t true.

“Breen is falsely claiming that outof-state residents will be able to use their state Medicaid for abortion services in Illinois,” she said.

In the wake of the he said.

Florida shooting Illinois Democrats Pearson said that’s not the case, introduced a slew of measures to ban but said he does expect the grass-

roots movement to be adopted in other states.

“I think this will probably spread across the United States because gun owners are tired of being beaten up for things they didn’t do,” he said.

Pearson said he wasn’t aware of any other states where gun sanctuary counties are popping up. He said a county in Oregon inquired with ISRA about what’s happening in Illinois, but didn’t have any other details.

The 26 Illinois counties that have passed such measures are Brown, Christian, Clark, Clay, Cumberland, Douglas, Effingham, Fayette, Ford, Greene, Hamilton, Hardin, Henry, Iroquois, Jasper, Jefferson, Lawrence, Monroe, Perry, Pope, Saline, Shelby, Washington, Wayne, White and Woodford, BND reported.

Pearson expects another dozen or so counties to consider similar provisions or resolutions in the coming months.

breastfeeding, ’93 changing diapers, ’94 pregnant - again, ’95 nursing again, ’96 changing diapers again, ’97 pregnant again, again, ’98 nursing, ’99 still changing diapers. And after all this we still had one more baby to birth. He came in ’01.

All this was interspersed by reading board books, stacking blocks and watching Toy Story (or Pooh) videos over and over and over again.

By the end of it all I was barely alive, or at least barely awake.

And let’s just say when the new millennium hit I was in no shape to party like it was 1999. Heck I just wanted a good night’s sleep. Maybe two.

Instead I threw on an oversized color-block sweater over my turtleneck, stepped in to my stonewashed mom jeans and tossed in another load of laundry while balancing a baby on my hip. I was oblivious to the trends of the world around me.

Fashion could wait until later. As could music. I completely missed out on grunge – both the fashion and music facets. Didn’t even know it existed until I did a Google. After reading about it on Wiki I don’t think I missed much.

The Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys took a backseat to my own girl and boys. Priorities.

I lived the 90s, but missed them as well. I do, however, have many wonderful memories from the decade – they’re just not from pop culture, but from poop culture.

Instead of paying attention to fashion, I was changing diapers and clothing babies. Instead of going to the movie theater, I was filming VHS tapes of my children and memorizing Toy Story. Instead of paying attention to Billboard’s top 10 hits, I was singing along with Sesame Street.

The 1990s will go down in my memory banks as one of the fondest decades of all times. It was a time when I had the miraculous privilege of growing babies! I was rocking them. I was feeding them. I was teaching them about love and life.

And they, in turn, were teaching me – about love, life, here, there, the over-ratedness of sleep, the transitory nature of trends, childhood and other life lessons – to infinity and beyond.

IC Catholic Prep’s Faber-Cournane pitches 13-inning complete game Helps Elmhurst Emeralds 16U softball team win tournament

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

IC Catholic Prep senior-to-be Kayla Faber-Cournane put in some overtime hours recently on her Elmhurst Emeralds 16U full-time travel softball team.

Faber-Cournane pitched a 13-inning complete game and struck out 11 in helping the Emeralds outlast the BRW Blast 4-3 in the championship game of the BRW Blast tournament in Willowbrook.

Faber-Cournane allowed no earned runs in the game and issued only one walk. She also was 3-for-4 at the plate and was hit by a pitch.

She pitched in three games for Elmhurst, going 3-0. The Emeralds went 7-0 in the tournament, going 3-0 in pool play (17-1 win over Illinois Venom; 5-0 win over BRW Blast and 12-3 win over Wheaton Wildcats) before defeating the Chicago Rockets 12-0, Devils Fast Pitch Black 1-0 and the Downers Grove Rebels 5-3 before facing BRW Blast in the finale.

“Kayla had the tournament of a lifetime,” said Emeralds coach Tony Liapold. “The game was 0-0 going into extra innings. The one thing about Kayla is she shows up to work every day and never complains. If she doesn’t have her best stuff she finds what works for her. We also asked her to play second and center field this season. She had never played center before but she’s a quick learner. She takes our in-game adjustments great.”

Liapold noted he continuously asked Faber-Cournane if she wanted to continue pitching in the marathon game. “I kept asking if she was OK and she kept telling me she wanted to go one more,” he said.

Faber-Cournane said she believes her previous longest outing was in the eight- or nine-inning range.

“I had so much adrenaline rushing through my body,” she said. “I just wanted to keep going. We were doing pretty well and our defense held it all together and I kept throwing strikes.”

She said her curveball was a key asset in the title game.

“It was working really well and so was my changeup,” she said.

Faber-Cournane helped IC Cath-

olic Prep reach the Class 2A supersectional round this past spring. She was sidelined for a stretch during the high-school season with an elbow ailment.

“I had a strain or something, nothing major,” she said. “I rested it and took some time off between high school and travel.”

Faber-Cournane sees a bright future for the Knights’ softball team.

“We were very young, but we continued to improve. We’ve been going further and further each year. We should do really well next year. The younger players are maturing and settling into their positions.”

The 16U Emeralds, part of Elmhurst Baseball and Softball, have won two tournament titles this summer and will play in the USSSA nationals in Indiana this week.

Faber-Cournane has played on and off for the Emeralds for five years.

Timothy Christian boys basketball team wraps up summer season Team chemistry a focal point after large graduation losses

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Timothy Christian boys basketball team was hit hard in the graduation department.

Thus, second-year coach Scott Plaisier changed things up a bit during the squad’s recent summer season.

“Overall we had a pretty good

summer,” he said. “We did things a little differently than in the past as far as playing in leagues. We kept it in-house more and worked on things with our younger guys. We worked hard and made some major improvements as the summer went on.

“With the loss of so much productivity from the seniors graduating, we had to figure out who can produce in spots and that was really good for us in that regard.”

Timothy played three games in a shootout at East Aurora and played five games at the Hoop Mountain event at West Aurora, while also

playing six games in a shootout at Willowbrook. The Trojans also held several intra-squad games (with referees) and also brought back some alumni players.

“These were guys who are college players now or who are just out of college,” Plaisier explained. “It was good for us to have our guys play against them. They showed our guys how to play a certain way. We had a focus this summer of wanting to improve and I think we did that. We had good attitudes and I was pleased with the focus. We have to keep getting better as individuals and as a

group once the season comes along and we will do that.”

Plaisier noted a new shooting program was implemented this summer. “The guys had the effort and focus to want to be better shooters and that was really good to see,” he said.

Returning players Justin Baez and Matt Owens were cited for strong play. “Justin and Matt had really good summers,” said Plaisier.

Danardo Jones impressed in the shootout events, while Josh Harris and A.J. Vos also had good summers, Plaisier noted, as did Chris

Brooks. Harris and Vos are new to the varsity this year.

“We lost so much productivity from last year,” said Plaisier. “I was really impressed with how this group came together in only three weeks. They learned how we want them to move and how we want them to play together as a team.

They worked hard at it. We brought in younger guys off the sophomore team last year and they saw how we play motion on the varsity level and they got better this summer. That was critical. We came together as a team.”

IC Catholic Prep coach Sliva announces two local wrestling initiatives MCK Wrestling club established along with IKWF program

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

It’s been a busy summer for youth wrestling in Elmhurst.

IC Catholic Prep wrestling coach Kevin Sliva recently announced the formation of MCK Wrestling, an Illinois/USA Wrestling-affiliated spring-summer club formed in collaboration with former world team member Jimmy Kennedy and ICCP coaches Sliva, Corey Stanley and Matt Mulvihill.

Kennedy moved to the area this past winter from Ann Arbor, Michigan where he had been training for the past five-plus years at the University of Michigan Regional Training Center while competing internationally and being sponsored by Cliff Keen.

Kennedy led MCK Wrestling’s first free clinic at Redeemer Church in Elmhurst (home of MCK) on June 30, which attracted more than 40 kids.

On July 7, MCK hosted current world team member, 2016 world

champion and four-time NCAA champion Logan Stieber.

More than 50 wrestlers attended the clinic from all over the Chicago area.

In addition to the spring/summer wrestling club, MCK also will be forming a youth IKWF club with former York, Elmhurst Junior Dukes and current Willowbrook High School coaching staff member Gary Walker, who Sliva noted brings a wealth of coaching experience and passion.

Walker most recently spearheaded and led an Illinois wrestling coaches’ task-force meeting in May at Willowbrook to address issues with the sport. The meeting was attended by upwards of 100 coaches and guest speakers.

“The main focus is and always will be about the kids and being able to offer world-class instruction and coaching to all ages and experience levels from first-timers to advanced wrestlers,” said Sliva. “We are lucky that all the coaches share this vision.

We are lucky to have such great coached with an incredible skill set and the ability to teach young people wrestling and life lessons. We want to make sure we are putting in the same

amount of time with the kid who has been wrestling for eight years as we are with the kid who is stepping on the mat for the first time.

“We’re working on many ideas and plans for the future on how to increase participation and retention while continuing to make it fun for everyone. We’re excited about this.

This is going to be such a great ben-

efit to the great community of Elmhurst that deserves this, as well as the surrounding Chicagoland area.”

Sliva, who noted the club will follow the USA Wrestling long-term athlete development model, said the club’s mission is simple.

“We want this to be a place where young people of all ages and all skill levels can receive consistent world-

class instruction on basic skills to advanced training, nutrition education, mental preparation, strength and conditioning, networking, fun, friendships, games, camps and more,” he said. “It’s an exciting time for wrestling in Elmhurst. This is something that is super-special that will grow wrestling for everyone regardless of school, age or experience level.”

Elmhurst Rugby undefeated in regular season, places 2nd in state In only its second year as a club, Elmhurst Rugby was undefeated during the regular season, earning first seed for the Illinois State Playoffs. The team, consisting of 18 of kids ages 14 to 18, won 62 to 10 in the state semifinals match on May 24 at Hinsdale South against Plainfield. The team faced Springfield in the state finals on May 31 at Morton High School in Berwyn in a close game, just missing the win by 3 points.

“This group of young men really gave it their all this season, learning a new sport, working hard, and coming together as a team,” said Coach Nick. “The impact on these boys both as athletes and as teammates will help them not only with other team sports they play but will also help them grow into confident, successful young men.”

Ben Bernard, a recent graduate of York High School who is heading to University of Iowa this fall, is the team captain.

“The brotherhood among the team propelled us to an undefeated season and eventually the state championship,” he said. “The bonds between us are going to stick with me and shape me for my future both in life and in rugby.”

Registration for the 2018-19 highschool and middle-school squads will be held in October. Rookie Rugby and Access Rugby camps will be held in the Fall with registration in August. For more information on

registration, visit elmhurstrugby.org.

Elmhurst Rugby, started by Elmhurst residents in 2016, embraces a player-centered approach that aims to develop the athlete in both competition and life. Using rugby as a platform for development well beyond the sport, Elmhurst Rugby is passionate about making youth a better version of themselves for lifelong success.

• Coaches have years of experience as educators and working with youth. Some are also involved in the national elite development program.

• The club is connected with college rugby programs in the US and abroad for those athletes looking to play and receive scholarships in college.

• Elmhurst Rugby is heavily involved in giving back and provide rugby camps at inner-city Chicago schools in partnership with Jordan Brand Wings and Triple Threat Mentoring.

• The team benefits from athletic training services from Dr. Mike Calcagno and all the staff at Olympia Chiropractic & Physical Therapy of Elmhurst and the strength training provided by Coach Tom Sroka, owner of The Strength Agenda.

Elmhurst Rugby is sponsored by Olympia Chiropractic & Physical Therapy of Elmhurst and Pints and is currently seeking additional sponsors. For information on sponsorship, contact Coach Nick at elmhurstrugby@gmail.com.

IC Catholic Prep grad Bianchini headed to St. Cloud State Vargas off to Fargo junior nationals; Knights wrestlers cited for academic excellence

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The IC Catholic Prep wrestling program hit the recent trifecta in the good-news department.

For starters, recent graduate Joey Bianchini will become the first IC Catholic Prep wrestler to continue his athletic/academic careers at the college level. Bianchini will wrestle at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota.

Under coach Steve Costanzo, the Huskies have won three of the last four national titles at the Division II level. In addition to its 2018 title, St. Cloude State had 12 National Wrestling Coaches Association all-academic honorees, which tied it for fourth-highest among all Division II schools.

Bianchini won two individual state titles at IC Catholic Prep and finished his career there with 150 wins. Bianchini also was part of a 2017-2018 IC Catholic Prep wrestling team that qualified for the

Class 1A dual-team state finals.

Vargas going to Fargo Also, recent graduate Victor Vargas earned a berth on Team Illinois’ junior Greco-Roman national team after his strong finish in April’s Illinois Greco-Roman state tournament.

Vargas is the second IC Catholic Prep wrestler in a row to wrestle on Team Illinois in the junior national championships in Fargo, North Dakota.

Vargas will wrestle in the 195-pound weight class when competition begins today in Fargo.

Knights cited for academic excellence The IC Catholic Prep wrestling program earned the Illinois High School Association academic achievement award once again. It was IC Catholic Prep’s sixth academic achievement award in a row.

In order to receive honor, a team must have a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher on an unweighted 4.0 scale.

IC Catholic Prep coach Kevin Sliva noted IC Catholic Prep is one of only two other programs in the state to accomplish this feat in each of the last six years.

Above: The Elmhurst Rugby team holds its own celebration after taking 2nd place in the state competition. The team was undefeated during the regular season, earning first seed for the Illinois State Playoffs.

Right: This is a rugby match, not a basketball game, but still these players are indeed “airborne” as they’re teammates boost them up to make a shot. Elmhurst Airborne has had a very successful second season, going undefeated and taking 2nd in the state.
