Business community turns out to welcome Thornton’s Grand opening event includes $5000 contribution to ECAF

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

A group of business and community leaders, elected officials, City staff and the Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors joined staff and administration of Thornton’s to celebrate the grand opening of its new gas and convenience store facility, located at York Road at the I-290 ramp, the former site of Steven’s Steakhouse.

Speakers included Ed Bitondo, Director of North Operations for Thornton’s, City Manager Jim Grabowski, John Quigley, President & CEO of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry, and Elmhurst Mayor Steve Morley.

“This area has been under-utilized for far too long,” Grabowski said, noting the property has been idle for almost ten years. “This represents the ongoing resurgence in the north end of our City.”

“Thanks for the investment in our community,” Quigley said to Thornton’s. “Even though they are located in Louisville, I understand this location makes Illinois the biggest operation for Thornton’s.

“We have lost gas stations in the downtown area, so it’s nice to have Thornton’s, not only for gas but also for its full-service convenience store. We think people on the I-290 Expressway will stop off to get gas and food before entering Cook County, where things are considerably more expensive.”

“We recognize and appreciate that Thornton’s has invested literally millions of dollars in our town,” said Mayor Morley. “This site has been unoccupied for almost ten years,

On Friday, July 15, staff and administrators of Thornton’s (front row) gathered with the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors (back row) to celebrate the grand opening of the brand new gas station and convenience center on York St. at the I-290 Expressway entrance. Elmhurst Mayor Steve Morley is pictured in the front row, to the right of the man with the scissors. After the ceremony, guests were invited inside for coffee and breakfast items.

which is a long time to have it off the property tax rolls. Now, not only does the location generate property tax, but more importantly, it will generate an ongoing stream of revenue from retail sales tax.

“Our job as a City is to provide premium services to our residents, which takes revenue generated from taxes. A fertile business environment that brings in tax revenue lessens the tax burden on our homeowners.” \A portion of the program included the presentation of a check for $5000 to the Elmhurst Children’s Assistance Foundation (ECAF), Thornton’s first foray into the local community. Current president of the ECAF Board of Directors Mike Burroughs was on hand to accept the funds and offer appreciation.

Following the ceremony, guests were invited inside to help themselves to coffee and breakfast items on display. Comments about the food and even the coffee were extremely positive. Besides a coffee bar that takes up nearly a full wall of the facility with different brews and choices of add-ins, the store has its own breakfast sandwiches, doughnuts and other baked goods as well as hot dogs and sandwiches for the lunch crowd.

Other offerings include the standard convenience store fare, such as cold sodas, many varieties of salty and sweet snacks, magazines, newspapers and other incidentals. There is also an ATM, attractive restrooms and a kiosk where all kinds of gift cards can be purchased.

These residents check out the plans and photos for the proposed Elmhurst Performing Arts Centre. The event was held Wednesday, July 13 at Flight 112, where about 100 people gathered to hear the details of the project which will be built almost entirely with private funds.

Proposed Centre for Performing Arts rolls out

after they opened the cash registers.

The offender then fled from the store on foot heading north from the store.

Store employees provided information on the description of the suspect to our Detective Unit, and Elmhurst Police Detective Unit developed a composite drawing from that information: The offender is described as: male/black, 5’8”, about 200 lbs., large build, short black hair and clean-shaven. He was last seen wearing a dark gray hooded sweatshirt, army green pants, and a black/ gray/red baseball cap.

This incident is currently under active investigation by the Detective Section of the Elmhurst Police Department. Anyone with information on the identity of this suspect is asked to call the Elmhurst Police Department at 630-530-3050 or submit information to policeinfo@elmhurst.org.

It’s a testament to how much people care about this community when you see at least 100 folks jammed inside Flight 112 on one of the hottest, most humid days of the summer thus far. Still, amid mopping brows and melting ice, attendees took advantage of the opportunity to look over the plans for the Elmhurst Cen-

tre for Performing Arts (ECPA) on the evening of Wednesday, July 13.

The Steering Committee, made up of Elmhurst residents Jeff Budgell, Laura Michaud, Doug Peterson and Rebecca Marianetti, put together the event to roll out the first glimpse at the plans for the ECPA including drawings and blueprints.

The Committee’s vision is for a 350-seat auditorium theater with an additional 150 in “flex-seating.”

There is also a plan for a “Black Box” theater, a smaller more intimate theater usually designed for briefer performances often created by local or independent playwrights.

Included are provisions for state-ofthe-art acoustic, lighting and sound equipment.

On the upper level, there will be two large studios (dance/multi-purpose), eight to 12 coaching/practice rooms and a recording suite. Eventually tutoring, classes and private instruction can be offered. It is hoped the ECPA will be a Training Centre, offering a menu of workshops and Master classes by industry professionals, designed to complement, but not compete with, existing services in Elmhurst.

Also on the proposal is a “green” rooftop that can be used as event space, with its own stage and caféstyle seating. The ECPA will have a full catering kitchen that outside approved caterers can use for events.

One thing yet to be determined is the location. Nothing has been secured as a site yet, but while speaking to the group at Flight 112, Jeff Budgell made a point to say that all the feasibility studies that were done indicate that people want the facility in the downtown area – not north,

not south, but right in the downtown.

The evening at Flight 112 served as the very first fundraiser for the project. A gala is scheduled for October 14 as the ECPA’s next fundraiser. (Details TBA) Most of the project will be funded by private donations. The Committee is hoping to obtain grants or perhaps seek matching funds from local foundations.

The ECPA would like to serve as home base to some of the music and theater groups in the community such as Beyond Center Stage, DeForest Dance, Elmhurst Children’s Theater, Elmhurst Choral Union, Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra, Greenman Theatre Troupe, Spirito!, Irish dance schools and others. The rooftop space will be a lovely place to host various community events.

To learn more about the project, visit ecpa-elmhurst.org or send an e-mail to ecpaelmhurst@gmail.com.

ECPA can also be found on facebook.

City of Elmhurst unveils new fire truck Ladder vehicle for first-responders blessed by Father Andrew

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

The Elmhurst Fire Department under direction of Interim Fire Chief Bill Anaszewicz officially unveiled its new tower ladder fire truck at a reception held on the morning of Monday, July 11.

Anaszewicz thanked elected officials in attendance as well as the Apparatus Committee for the hard work put into the design of the new apparatus.

“Your support of this purchase allows our department to continue to provide the best service possible to the residents of Elmhurst,” Anaszewicz said.

A long-standing fire service tradition, the ceremony included a “wet down,” when new apparatus is anointed with water by local clergy and then cleaned and slowly rolled backwards into the bay by firefighters. Father Andrew of Saint Demetrios Church in Elmhurst graciously took part in the blessing.

One very special guest turned out for the event. It was John Dramm, a 94-year-old retired firefighter, who was one of the last drivers of the City’s antique Seagrave Pumper truck. After the ceremony, firefighters took Dramm for a ride on the antique fire truck.

The City purchased the new ladder truck in June 2015 from Emergency One Incorporated where it then went through one year of building and testing before being ready for service. The truck is slightly more than 45 feet long and the ladder can extend up to 95 feet.

Upgraded features include a new pump configuration and controls, improved LED lighting, and a state-

To Your Health Through

CHIROPRACTIC

Enhancing the health of your family

by Dr. Noelle O’Connor

A STINGER A “stinger” (or “burner”) is a common injury sustained by those who play contact sports, especially football.

The name of this injury comes from the stinging (or burning) pain that spreads from the shoulder to the hand as the athlete performs certain maneuvers, either a tackle, block, or takedown move.

A stinger can occur in one of two ways: either one of the nerves off the spinal cord in the neck is compressed as the head is forced backward and toward that side, or the nerves in the neck and shoulder are over-stretched as the head is forced sideways away from the shoulder. While stingers often resolve quickly, chiropractic treatment may be needed to avoid recurrence and persistent arm weakness.

What can chiropractic health care do for you? Chiropractic’s purpose is to remove interferences to the natural healing power running through the body. At YORK CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC, we can help you enjoy life without pain. We work to restore your health and guide you in a personalized approach to overall wellness. We’re located at 486 Spring Road. For unsurpassed chiropractic care for all members of your family, please call 630.834.8536 to schedule an appointment. “Enhancing the health of your family.”

P.S. Up to 70 percent of all college football players report having experienced a burner or stinger during their 4-year careers.

Fleeing germs: The neverending fear of kooties

We live in a culture where people fear shopping cart handles. To be fair, it’s not the handles themselves. It’s the germs residing on said handles. Germs can make us sick. Being sick is a logical thing to fear. So we wipe the handles with disinfectant and go about our merry way.

Shopping cart handles may be a quirky fear, but that’s only the beginning. Some people go to great lengths, and employ considerable superstitious behavior in their quest for a germ-free life.

Sometimes I’m one of those people.

In discussions with others, I’ve found I’m not alone. We all do weird things (or maybe they are smart things) in the name of cleanliness.

While I don’t typically disinfect my shopping cart handle, the first thing I do when returning home from the store is wash my hands.

I suppose this behavior is loosely related to the shopping cart pho-

bia. Different disinfectant method, different time.

I usually wash my hands at the kitchen sink, which is another object of my fixation on germ evasion. I read somewhere that the kitchen is typically one of the germiest places in the entire house and the sink is host to hordes of bacteria-laden decaying food particles and other blecky whatnots.

As a combatant, I have a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol sitting in a handy location near the kitchen sink. Good riddance, whatnots!

Let’s chat about water that comes from a refrigerator door.

Anyone besides me avoid it? I’m distrusting of the tubing within the

fridge that transports the water to my glass. But I use the refrigerator ice cubes, which probably go through the same tubing system, all the time. In addition, I drink regular water from the regular tap every day. And who knows what the innards of that contain? (I don’t even want to go there.)

Before we leave the kitchen, anyone else afraid of sponges?

They stay damp and contain thousands of little crevices where all sorts of microscopic bad things can grow. I’ve read you can sanitize your sponge in the dishwasher, but I stick with washcloths I can launder in bleach on the hot cycle.

Double dipping – now there’s a thing (or two) to get the masses chatting. I’m a single dip proponent. In direct conflict with this is drink sharing. I think nothing of sharing my water bottle with my husband or kids. Same goes for chapstick, which when you consider it logically is probably more likely to harbor germs than a carrot

stick in ranch dip.

I used to love staying overnight at a hotel. It felt special, not having to make your bed in the morning and all. This changed after I watched a couple of those helpful investigative news stories about the horrors of hotel rooms. Items especially suspect and susceptible are the TV remote and phone. Experts advise bringing your own sanitizing cloths and giving a good wipe down before you change the channel or call down to the front desk for more germ-laden pillows.

A friend of mine has an aversion toward rental carpet cleaners. She thinks the cleaners aren’t clean.

She might be right. But isn’t it possible that a carpet cleaning company could have dirty equipment as well? They deal with some pretty nasty stuff. My best advice would be to clean your carpet cleaner before you clean your carpet. I’m pretty sure there’s an oxymoron in there somewhere.

I’ve saved the best (or worst)

for last: public restrooms. Ever enter a stall only to find the toilet is covered in droplets? There aren’t many things higher on the grossmeter than a wet toilet seat. I also avoid faucet and door handles in public restrooms – and touching anything in public restrooms for that matter.

We live in a crazy, germ-filled world. They are everywhere, and it is not possible (not possible at all) to avoid them completely. Still we try. At least I do. And if we ever meet in person, I want you to know I’m okay with a fist bump and even a hug, but maybe not a handshake.

Depending on the day and how I’m feeling and whether you are sneezing and wheezing.

Just trying to keep it honest.

Munger: bill backlog to exceed $10 billion by year end Human services, small businesses, higher education to be prioritized

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE INDEPENDENT

On Thursday, July 14, Illinois Comptroller Leslie Geissler Munger stated that the backlog of bills for the state will continue to grow through the fall and early winter until it hits the $10 billion mark by New Year’s Day. That many unpaid invoices will cause payment delays of six months or lonLeslie Munger ger to the state’s vendors and suppliers.

Munger’s announcement comes on the heels of the passage of the stopgap budget passed recently.

• Business owners who provided good and services to the state in good faith over the last year without receiving payment.

• Colleges, universities and MAP Grant students who faced significant cuts and delays this past year.

Munger is sticking to her guns regarding compensation for Illinois’ elected officials, treating them like all other payments. Lawmakers and state constitutional office holders – including Miunger – will continue to stand in line for payments with human service providers, small business owners, hospitals, schools and others.

She noted that the state is on pace to spend as much as $2.5 billion more than it takes in during the next six months.

“Severe cash shortages mean my office will continue to perform triage to help those most in need and protect our most critical services,” she added.

Usually payments are handled on a first-in, first-out basis, but Munger said priority would be given to the following: • Nonprofits not covered by court orders or consent decrees that continue to provide services including programs for autism, the homeless,

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Elmhurst Toyota, Elmhurst BMW, and Jaguar Elmhurst held their annual USO BBQ for the Troops on Saturday, July 16, a fundraiser to support the USO of Illinois as well as local military troops and their

families.

All proceeds from the BBQ for the Troops will be donated to USO of Illinois, for the benefit of local military troops and their families. Last year’s BBQ raised $21,000. Saturday’s event broke that record, bringing in $22,700.

Jessica Dolan of the USO accepts ‘the big check’ from Elmhurst Toyota owner Kurt Schiele. The check is for $22,500, but at the last minute an additional $200 was handed to Dolan for a grand total of $22,700, a new record, according to Schiele.

Edward-Elmhurst Health offers innovative, high-tech options for complex heart cases Bryan Foy, MD, System Medical Director, Cardiac Surgery, Edward-Elmhurst Health and a cardiothoracic surgeon with Cardiac Surgery Associates, was also involved in planning Vaux’s care. He agreed that she was a candidate for surgery and performed a triple bypass on March 23.

“Without this intervention, Mrs. Vaux had only a 50 percent chance of surviving a year,” says Dr. Goodwin. “Now her prognosis is good.”

Helen Vaux (left), 82, with daughter Joanne Abeling, following triple bypass surgery at Edward Heart Hospital to treat blocked coronary arteries.

Following a heart attack in March 2016, Vaux’s previous doctors told her because of insufficient blood flow to an artery, there was nothing they could do except send her home to continue her medication.

“Many high-risk patients with coronary artery disease or chronic total occlusion are not getting the procedures they need. We’re seeing referrals for complex procedures from cardiologists in a 10-state area because they’re recognizing this need. It’s gratifying to think

we can often offer something when a patient has been told there’s nothing that can be done.”

To find out if you’re at risk for heart disease, take EdwardElmhurst Health’s free five-minute test at www.eehealth.org/healthydriven/health-aware.

Helen Vaux, 82, suffered a heart attack in March 2016 while at a family wedding reception in Florida. “I started to feel very tired and my chest was making strange noises when I lay down,” recalls Vaux. She was taken to a local hospital where she had a cardiac catheterization, a procedure used to diagnose and sometimes treat heart conditions.

Though the test showed significant blockages in three of Vaux’s coronary arteries, doctors told her there was nothing they could do for her beyond sending her home to continue her medication regimen. They said insufficient blood flow to her LAD (left anterior descending) artery – a coronary artery supplying blood to more than half of the heart muscle – ruled out the two most common treatment options: placement of stents to prop open the artery or surgery to allow blood to bypass the diseased area.

Vaux’s daughter Joanne Abeling, Director, Clinical Excellence at Edward Hospital in Naperville, was in town for the wedding and stayed throughout her mother’s medical emergency.

When she heard the doctors’ recommendation, she decided to arrange transportation for her mother to Edward Heart Hospital, which she knew had the equipment and expertise for complex highrisk interventional procedures.

These types of interventions are appropriate for some patients whose severe heart damage or other conditions make stenting problematic.

When Mark Goodwin, MD, Medical Director, Cardiology, Edward Heart Hospital and an interventional cardiologist with Midwest Heart-Advocate Medical Group, learned of Vaux’s situation, he was ready to use a state-ofthe art piece of equipment to make stenting possible. Impella, a device which can be inserted through a small hole in the leg, helps the heart pump blood during a procedure.

When a patient’s condition is too severe for even the Impella approach, the cardiac team at Edward Heart Hospital is prepared to employ another level of care called ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), which involves using a bypass machine to take over for the heart and lungs during stenting.

But it turned out neither Impella nor ECMO was needed in Vaux’s case. When Dr. Goodwin performed a cardiac catheterization at Edward, he determined that she did have sufficient blood flow to the LAD to make surgery feasible.

Since her discharge from Edward, Vaux is staying with her daughter in Naperville and shining in her cardiac rehab sessions. “I’m told I’m doing better,” she says.

“It’s important to have the right equipment for diagnosis and treatment – from X-ray and laser to the more recent developments, such as Impella,” says Dr. Goodwin. “But it’s also key to have an experienced, specially trained team to determine the best option for each individual.

Realty Group visits Feed My Starving Children

B

erkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff Realty Group’s Elmhurst, Glen Ellyn, and Naperville offices visited Feed My Starving Children in Aurora, a nonprofit organization that sends hand-packed meals to children all over the world. The meals are especially formulated for malnourished children.

The three offices volunteered at Feed My Starving Children during the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff Realty Group and KoenigRubloff Cares Foundation’s company-wide event called the Week of Kindness. During that week, more than 500 Realtors® from 23 of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff Realty Group offices organized their own events to volunteer time and services to organizations in their respective communities.

“We have volunteered at Feed My Starving Children before, and we knew we wanted to return because it’s such a phenomenal organization,” said Pat Wargowski, Vice President and Managing Broker for the offices. “We ended up packing enough food for 44,496 meals to be sent around the world. It’s an incredible feeling knowing what we can accomplish when we come together.”

On Money magazine’s latest list of Best Colleges, Elmhurst College ranks sixth among all colleges and universities in Illinois, and 120th on a list of more than 700 top institutions nationwide.

Published on July 11 by Time Inc.,

Money’s rankings focus on public and private colleges and universities that “deliver the most value—that is, a great education, at an affordable price, that helps students launch promising careers.”

Elmhurst College also ranks as one of Money’s “50 Best Colleges You Can Actually Get Into,” a list that considers accessibility in relation to high-quality academics.

“Elmhurst College’s high place-

ment in the Money magazine rankings is great news, and just reinforces what we already know about why the College is exceptional,” said College President Troy VanAken, who just began his new position July 1. “Our faculty and academic programs, a wealth of career exploration and engagement opportunities, and our beautiful campus and unbeatable location make Elmhurst an outstanding value for our students.”

On Friday, July 15, a large contingent of business and community leaders came to the grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony of Thornton’s, the new gas station and convenience store located at York and I-290. Among the guests were Police Chief Mike Ruth and members of Elmhurst’s law enforcement community.

A welcome from the mayor

Elmhurst Mayor Steve Morley (left) greets Ed Bitondo, Director of North Operations for Thornton’s, at the grand opening of the new facility at York & I-290 on Friday, July 15. “We recognize and appreciate that Thornton’s has invested literally millions of dollars in our town,” Morley said. “A fertile business environment that brings in tax revenue lessens the tax burden on our homeowners.”

The ten most beautiful places in Wisconsin The web site discoverwisconsin. com recently released a list of the top ten most beautiful places in Wisconsin. The list was composed by Mariah Haberman, who hosts the nation’s longest-running tourism TV show, Discover Wisconsin.

1. Apostle Island National Lakeshore in Bayfield Consisting of 21 islands located at the northern tip of the state, the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore offers endless beauty in its historic lighthouses and sandstone caves.

2. Pattison State Park in Superior Located in northwest Wisconsin, Pattison State Park is home to Wisconsin’s tallest waterfall, Big Manitou Falls.

3. Pewits Nest in Baraboo Pewits Nest includes a deep gorge surrounded by tall pines and majestic bluffs plus a beautiful stream that runs right through it. It was formed during the retreat of the last glacier.

4. Door County in northeast Wisconsin From Cave Point County Park in Sturgeon Bay all the way up to the

famous Winding Road in Gills Rock to Washington Island, Door County is literally bursting with spectacular places to discover.

5. Driftless Area in southwest Wisconsin Exceptionally underrated and generally overlooked as a travel destination, the Driftless Region challenges Wisconsin’s reputation as a flat state. The topography in southwest Wisconsin is diverse and fascinating, worthy of being at the top of any traveler’s bucket list.

6. Holy Hill in Hubertus The Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians at Holy Hill is located in Hubertus near Milwaukee. People of all faiths find comfort and peace at Holy Hill as well as magnificent beauty—it is one of the most photographed places in Wisconsin during the fall months.

7. Marinette County in northeast Wisconsin Renowned as the Waterfall Capital of Wisconsin, Marinette County boasts 14 exquisite waterfalls. Hike or camp your way across this northeastern region.

8. National Ice Age Scenic Trail (statewide) Wisconsin’s Ice Age Trail is a 1,000-mile foot path that meanders throughout the entire state. Throw on your best pair of hiking boots and explore Wisconsin’s glacial landscapes.

9. Vilas County, north central Wisconsin Vilas County is home to an assemblage of iconic Northwood’s towns, such as Eagle River, St. Germain and Phelps, plus the world’s largest inland chain of freshwater lakes.

10. Wisconsin Dells The Dells area may be overshadowed by its bustling waterpark scene but you don’t have to go far to find quiet splendor. After all, this popular destination did build its tourism empire off of its deep, narrow gorges and unusual rock formations along the Wisconsin River.

Relax and escape the city at Fulton Escape the city and the stress of a fast-paced life by taking a drive out to the narrows of the Mississippi River. Your destination: Fulton, Illinois. We are located 3 hours west of Chicago on Route 30/Lincoln Highway. When you arrive to Fulton you will find many attractions waiting for you to explore. After a full day, you’ll want to stay right in town at the Americinn.

Our fully-operational Dutch

Windmill and Windmill Cultural Center are must-sees for your day trip to Fulton. This windmill features grinding stones that grind wheat, rye, buckwheat, and corn that produce flour that is sold at our gift shop, located at the cultural center.

On Wednesdays (during the summer), from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., visitors can enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and sample different freshly baked treats made with our flour.

Be sure to check out all the other attractions such as Heritage Canyon, an 1800’s village nestled inside a beautiful abandoned quarry or stop in at the Andresen Nature Center and see displays of local wildlife. If you want to time your trip to Fulton to some of the exciting activities this summer, visit our website at www. cityoffulton.us or call our tourism office at 815-589-3925 to see what’s happening.

Visit Olson’s Christmas House for that special gift Experience the spirit of Christmas all through the year at Olson’s Christmas House. Recognized as one of the leading specialty shops in the Midwest, you will find that perfect addition to your Christmas collection or the ideal gift for that special occasion at Olson’s.

Serving their customers for over 35 years, the Olsons have taken great pride in developing and expanding their shop as evidenced by

the largest selection of current and retired Department 56, Snowbabies, Pipka Santas, and Byers’ Choice Carolers merchandise in the area.

In fact, Department 56 villages are available dating back to the 1980s.

You will also find a large selection of ornaments and Christmas items including those by Old World Christmas, Patience Brewster, Jim Shore, Mark Roberts, Fontanini, DeBrekht, and retired Christopher

Radko—to name a few.

Olson’s also has a large selection of Halloween (including Department 56 houses) and Thanksgiving merchandise.

As one customer was overheard on her cell phone, “I am in Mt. Horeb and have found this beautiful Christmas shop.” Come to Mt. Horeb and experience the shop for yourself. As the Olsons say, “Don’t start Christmas without us!”

(StatePoint) In an age of constant communication and connectivity, it can be difficult to take a break.

But drive time is when your phone should take a backseat to safety, say experts.

“You don’t need to be texting to be distracted by your phone,” says Kelly Nantel, vice president of communications and advocacy at the National Safety Council. “Even handsfree talking is a major distraction.”

Research indicates drivers using handheld and hands-free phones only see about 50 percent of all the information in their driving environment. This phenomenon is known as “inattention blindness,” similar to tunnel vision.

While multitasking is valued in today’s culture, researchers find that the human brain doesn’t actually perform two tasks at the same time but rather switches attention between tasks. At your desk, this can be an effective and efficient way to work, but behind the wheel, “multitasking” can be deadly.

From checking GPS, to firing up a drive time playlist, there are countless smartphone-related reasons why people take their mind off the road.

And newer in-vehicle systems allow drivers to call, text, email, update social media and browse the Internet, despite research showing these systems cause distraction that can linger after the driver finishes the task.

One of the major reasons drivers today are so distracted is one of the most surprising -- pressure from your family. Indeed 82 percent of Americans feels their family pressures them the most -- above friends or employers -- to drive distracted, according to a recent NSC survey.

“It is a sad irony that the people we love are actually jeopardizing our safety the most,” says Nantel.

“If you really care, don’t call to say, ‘I love you,’ instead encourage your family to set everything else aside, disconnect and focus only on the

road.”

To prioritize safety and reduce your risk of being involved in a crash, turn your commute into “me time,” and your car into a safe sanctuary. The National Safety Council is offering some tips to take back your drive.

• Turn off your phone when you get in the car.

• Tell your family (and anyone else expecting to hear from you) that you will be driving and will call or text them when you are parked at your destination.

• Send emails and texts before you start driving.

• Return the favor. When friends, family or colleagues are driving, refrain from placing distracting calls or sending texts.

Walk off hit

Brady Lavin connects in the bottom of the 6th for two RBI on Friday, July 15. The hit propelled the Elmhurst Explosion 9U team to a 9-8 victory over the Geneva Vikings at the Carol Stream Gold Medal Tournament.

Keegan Kilrea knows a thing or two about the York girls cross country and track and field.

Kilrea is a 2008 graduate of Lyons Township, a member of the West Suburban Conference Silver Division, where she competed against York on a regular basis. Kilrea also coached at the school for two seasons.

Now she is turning in her Lions paraphernalia for Dukes gear. Kilrea recently was named the head girls track and field coach at York. She replaces Annette Schulte, who retired at the end of this past school year.

“I didn’t coach anywhere this past season,” said Kilrea. “I was focusing on grad school, but I missed coaching and working with high-school athletes. I saw a teaching and coaching position posted in the district (Elmhurst District 205) and saw it as the best of both worlds. I love teaching at the middle-school level and coaching at the high-school level. It was a great opportunity.”

Kilrea, who previously taught at Western Springs Junior High School,

York summer baseball team finishes season strong Dukes advance to state regional semifinals

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York summer baseball team went on a hot streak at a perfect juncture in the season.

The Dukes advanced all the way to the semifinals of the Fenwick regional. During the summer, regional winners advance to the state finals.

York opened the Phil Lawler Summer Classic state tournament with an 11-10 win over Glenbard East.

York, which had 16 hits in the

game, led 2-0 in the first inning but found itself down 5-2 in the third inning. The Dukes tied the game at 5-5 after the fourth inning. However, Glenbard East again distanced itself from the Dukes with five runs in the sixth inning to go up 10-5.

York scored three runs in its half of the sixth to cut the lead to 10-8 and then scored three runs in the seventh inning to win the game.

Ian Steinorth went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, a double and an RBI for York. Andrew Deardurff went 1-for-4 with three runs scored and a stolen base. Nick Lee was 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI. Mike Bernal was 2-for-3 with three RBI, two walks, two stolen bases and a double. Ryan Ross was 2-for-4 with an RBI. Joey Chiappetta went 1-for-3 with a double,

a walk and two RBI. Joey Jaeger went 4-for-4 with three runs scored.

Scott Tucker was the winning pitcher. He went 1 2/3 innings in relief late in the game and fanned one. He allowed no hits. Burke Corcoran started and pitched three innings. He struck out two. Austin Gelsomino pitched 2 1/3 innings and struck out three.

York then recorded a 7-5 win over Maine West in the second round of the regional. York had eight hits in the contest.

Maine West led 1-0 after the first inning, but York quickly recovered to score five runs in the second inning and two more in the third inning to take a comfortable 7-1 lead.

Deardurff went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI. Lee was 1-for-3 with a triple, a run

scored and an RBI. Bernal went 1-for-3. Chiappetta went 1-for-2 with two runs scored.

Zach Pflum went 2-for-3 with a double, a triple, two runs scored and two RBI. Mike Pastuovic went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a run scored and two RBI. Pflum and Pastuovic, the team’s eighth and ninth hitters in the game, went a combined 4-for-6 with three doubles, a triple, three runs scored and four RBI. Jake Hadawi was the winning pitcher. He went six innings and allowed four hits and one earned run while striking out five. Pflum pitched one inning and struck out one.

With the win, York advanced to

will teach sixth-grade English at Churchville Middle School in Elmhurst.

Kilrea remembers going to battle against York on many occasions during her running career at Lyons.

“When I was in high school, York was always very strong in cross country and track,” she said. “They always had competitive teams. At Lyons Township they always had big teams, which is very comparable to York. It always was a good rivalry because we were similar type teams. And now I am coming into a situation where there are so many great athletes and coaches at York.”

Kilrea said her goal is to develop high-caliber athletes and individuals.

“It’s all about instilling those important athletic qualities such as dedication, hard work and being competitive,” she said. “If you instill those qualities you will create consistent competitive teams. If we can focus on being competitive and staying healthy, ultimately we are going to be successful.”

Kilrea, who graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, also will be an assistant in the girls crosscountry program, led by new head coach Lauren DeAngelis.

“I’ve already met a ton of great people here who have offered their resources,” she said. “That’s helped ease the transition for me. It will be fun to be working with both programs. Cross country and track are similar but still very different. It will be fun to see the girls in different arenas and see them thrive differently. I’m glad I get to be involved with both sports.”

And Kilrea is ready to hit the ground running at York. “I’m coming into something that has such a wonderful base established already,” she said.

“The program always has a lot of girls who come out for the team and great things have happened in this program over the years. I’m excited to implement my personal coaching style with the styles of the other coaches and continue the success of the program.”

York graduate Toohey excelling at Air Force Junior-to-be enjoys breakout at end of sophomore season

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The United States Air Force Academy is suiting York boys basketball alum Frank Toohey just fine.

Toohey, heading into his junior “It was an honor to receive the year at Air Force, was named the awards,” he said. “It’s nice to get team’s most improved player and recognized for the work you put in.” it’s hardest-working in the weight Toohey enjoyed a breakout as a room this past season. sophomore toward the latter part of the Falcons’ season this past winter. “This last season was crazy,” he said. “I went from basically not playing much to starting and getting big minutes in big games. Freshman year I traveled the whole time but got into something like six games and made one shot all year. I went from not playing freshman year to starting off not playing much sophomore year to playing big minutes at the end of the year.”

Toohey said his big break came in a game against San Jose State this past season. “We started the season pretty good in our non-conference games and then we started off conference play a little slow,” Toohey explained.

“At one point we lost eight in a row. Against San Jose State we got down big and coach put me in. We ended up losing, but I had a really big game (17 points and 7 rebounds).

I started after that.”

Toohey said his playing situation did a quick 180-degree turn. “I had started playing a little more minutes in the back end, but I was the second- or third-string center, mostly third,” he said of his situation prior to the San Jose State game. “I got

my opportunity and took advantage of it and played as hard as I could and things happened.”

Toohey, a 6-7 center, finished his sophomore year averaging 5.5 points and 2.9 rebounds per game. He played in 26 games and started nine of them. Toohey shot .512 from the field and .726 from the free-throw line.

Toohey admitted going from the rigors of the West Suburban Conference Silver Division at York to Division I men’s college basketball required an adjustment period.

“It’s definitely a big jump,” he said. “The pace of the game, the speed and size all are different.

There are a lot of good athletes. It took awhile to get used to. I found my role and figured out how to make an impact at this level.”

Overall, Toohey is enjoying his time at Air Force. “It’s been awesome, but it’s been tough,” he said.

“I’ve put in a lot of late nights. It’s a great time and I’ve been able to do a lot of cool things. I’m happy where I am. I’m really enjoying myself.”

Toohey went through basic training two summers ago. “That definitely was an adjustment,” he said.

“It was a tough experience and one that is hard to describe unless you have been through it. I got through it.”

Last summer, Toohey went

through survival training and flew gliders (completed the airmanship program where he took 14 flights in a TG-16A glider). “I did that for three weeks. It was a cool experience,” he said.

This summer Toohey noted he spent several weeks at a base in California shadowing an officer. “I was able to learn things first-hand,” he said.

He’s also going to be an instructor at a gun range. “They let you do a lot of interesting things here,” he said. “The summers going into your junior and senior years you are required to take a leadership class. A lot of people work basic training and I’m going to be part of that survival course I took last summer.”

Toohey is studying aeronautical engineering at Air Force. “It’s an interesting field,” he said. “It’s been pretty tough keeping up with that and basketball, but I’m committed to it. I’m going to be able to get into some of the real engineering stuff coming up here. I’m looking forward to it.”

Toohey also is looking forward to the upcoming Air Force basketball season.

“It’s going to be a big season for us,” he said. “We have a lot of guys coming back who played big minutes. We only graduated one senior.

We definitely are going to be deep.”

the regional semifinals where it lost 6-4 to Lyons Township. York had six hits in the game and made three errors.

The Dukes held a 3-1 lead heading into the bottom of the third, but Lyons scored three runs in the bottom of the third. York scored a run in the fourth to tie the game, but Lyons came right back with two runs in the bottom of the fourth for what turned out to be the final margin.

Deardurff went 2-for-3 with a stolen base. Lee had a run scored and an RBI. Ross went 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI. Pflum went 1-for-2 with a run

scored and a double. Pastuovic went 1-for-2 with two RBI. Steinorth had a stolen base.

Pflum took the loss. He threw two innings. Tucker went the first three innings and had one strikeout.

Charles Pakenas pitched an inning and struck out two.

York finished the summer season 9-8-1. Lyons Township ended up downing Oak Park-River Forest 5-3 in the regional title game. Oak Park-River Forest advanced to the regional final with a 6-4 win over Willowbrook, meaning the regional semifinals featured four teams from the West Suburban Conference.

CORRESPONDENT

One of the first things new IC Catholic Prep baseball coach Frank DeAngelis did was ramp up the team’s summer schedule.

This year, the Knights played seven games and went 3-4 overall. “In the past we didn’t schedule many games,” he said. “We got seven in this summer and we had to cancel a game. We had 15 guys, which was pretty good. A lot of young guys got at-bats and a lot of guys on varsity who didn’t get a lot of at-bats last season saw different positional play and got their swings in. And guys were able to pitch more and log some more innings this summer.”

DeAngelis was pleased with his player’s commitment to the sport this summer. “We have guys who also play on travel teams in the summer,” he said.

“That’s a big positive. Guys threw

for us in the middle of the week for an inning or two. That’s productive work. We’re not concerned about wins in the summer. We want to get the reps in and get the guys around each other. We’re working toward next year.”

DeAngelis cited strong play from the likes of Joey Salvi (P-1B), John Hoffman, Michael Liszka, Griffen Eichhorn and Brendan Russ.

“Joey is a lefty who played at the varsity level last year. He had some good at-bats this summer and we expect him to log some innings on the mound moving forward,” the coach said. “John Hoffman will make a run at an outfield spot and get some innings on the mound. Michael and Griffin are younger guys who played last year and stepped it up this summer. Brendan Russ is a workhorse for us on the mound. He did his mid-week bullpen with us and then played on the weekend with his travel team.”

The coach also lauded the efforts of Andrew Falduto and Pete Sykora.

“Those two kids didn’t miss a day of camp and games,” said DeAngelis.

“Andrew will make his way into the rotation at some point and Pete will find time as an outfielder, first baseman and pitcher.”

DeAngelis noted he was able to use the summer time he had with his

players to evaluate their versatility, something he’s stressing going forward. “We saw them play different positions this summer,” he said. “If you have guys who are interchangeable and are swinging hot bats, they are going to find their way into the lineup. I’m very pleased with the versatility we have on the team.”

DeAngelis said he’s working on increasing the number of games the team will play next summer and said the Knights will be eligible to play in the state summer tournament (need a minimum of 10 games to do so). The coach added the team is looking into taking a trip to Carthage College in Kenosha, Wis., for a team camp next year.

“We were very solidified and goal-oriented this summer. We used our contact days wisely,” he said.

“Some of our kids play two and three sports and were going to team camps. They have a lot going on. I was very pleased with the kids and what we accomplished this summer.

Moving forward, I will keep in communication with the other coaches at the school in terms of scheduling.

My goal is to put together a more solidified and more rigorous baseball program in the summer here.”

DeAngelis also is in the process of restructuring the program’s youth camps that are offered.

York’s May finishes third at New Balance Nationals Sophomoreto-be fares well in two other summer races

were handing out the medals and also held the race tape,” she said.

At the New Balance event, May was able to enjoy the spectacle along with her brother, Jon, who is headed to Peoria and Bradley University to run this fall. Jon May was part of a group of York boys’ runners (running under the Kroy club banner) that competed in relay races at the New Balance event. May’s other older brother, Chris, earned All-American status this past school year at Grand Valley State University in Michigan.

“I am really proud of what my brothers have done,” said May. “We all had pretty good seasons. They always give me advice, even if I don’t ask for it.”

May is looking forward to this fall’s York cross-country season.

“I’m excited about our team,” she said. “I would like to do well, but more importantly I want to help our team do well.”

Kroy boys track At the New Balance event, the Kroy boys’ distance medley team of Robert Tomaska, Kurt Namini, Max Denning and Charlie Kern Jr., ran a 10:03.32 to take second and earn All-American status.

Earlier, the 3,200 relay team of Denning, Tomaska, Jon May and Kern Jr., finished 24th in the event.

An unfortunate jostling during the first leg of the 3,200 relay led to a fall, which dropped Kroy back in the pack during the relay race.

At the U.S. Army Midwest Distance Classic held at Benedictine University in Lisle, May took third in the 800 run with a time of 2:14.73.

“That was pretty good,” she said.

York sophomore-to-be Sarah May had herself quite the summer on the track.

May took third in the freshman mile at the recent New Balance Nationals outdoor meet held in Greensboro, N.C., at North Carolina A & T University.

May ran the mile in 5:06.60. The second-place finisher clocked in at 5:06.01 and the national champion ran 5:02.66. Thirty-seven runners competed in the race.

“I moved up well during the race,” said May. “I didn’t start out in front and I worked my way up. I was in the inside lane and didn’t want to go out too fast and get caught. I was happy with how I did.”

May admitted she was “kind of intimidated” heading into the race.

“Once the race started and I started running, all of that went away,” she said. “I wasn’t nervous. I just ran. It was a cool meet.”

May also was successful this summer in two other races. She won the girls’ high-school elite mile at the Magis Miles event held at St. Ignatius College Prep in Chicago.

May finished with a time of 5:01.35.

“There was a pacer and I stuck with the group,” she said of the St. Ignatius race. “I also had a good final 400 meters and that helped separate me from the group. I had a good finish.”

May’s other times at St. Ignatius included 4:59.63 (girls’ 1,600 en route) and 4:42.10 (girls’ 1,500 en
