Library welcomes social work intern Elmhurst Public Library’s new Social Work Intern Tim Vo has begun office hours at the library as of Tuesday, Aug. 28. Vo, an unpaid intern, is pursuing dual Masters degrees in Social Work and Business Administration at Aurora University. Prior to his internship in Elmhurst, he completed an internship with Communities in Schools, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing outside resources such as counseling or social support to children in schools. As Elmhurst Public Library explores the option of providing more direct access to social service resources, the idea of individuals coming to the library to seek help and information is a cornerstone philosophy of public libraries. “Having someone with a social services background at the Library is helpful not only for the public, but for staff,” said Mary Beth Harper, Director. “We are testing the waters to determine if this could be a positive evolution of our services to promote a welcoming environment for all.” Finding social workers in libraries is a nationwide trend that is gaining momentum. Nearby libraries in Oak Park, Evanston, and Addison have social services specialists on staff.

Because libraries are public buildings, individuals who walk through the doors each day may be dealing with a variety of difficulties in varying degree: mental health issues, job instability, domestic abuse, homelessness, dementia, or stresses related to caregiving. Having a social service specialist available on-site to both staff and patrons adds another facet to the resources available to the community. Vo’s specialization focuses on the world of non-profit agencies and the unique challenges they face. “I jumped at this opportunity,” said Vo. “My goal here is to get resources to patrons who may need it. We can’t offer any services inside the Library, but we’ll be able to refer them out.” Vo added that he is also a resource to library staff. Throughout Vo’s internship, a needs assessment will be made available to help determine persistent issues and possible future staffing solutions. The Library aims to target issues that typically occur in libraries and to handle them in new ways. Vo’s internship continues until spring 2019. He is available to assist the public near the 2nd floor computers during the following hours: Tuesdays, 10 a.m.-12 p.m. and 2-4 p.m.; Wednesdays, 2-4 p.m. and 5-7 p.m.

O’Hare Oasis pavilion to close for good Sept. 5 By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

In what seems like a death knell for rest area oases, officials with the Illinois Tollway authority announced on Friday, Aug. 24 that the O’Hare oasis pavilion that suspends over the TriState Tollway will be closing in less than two weeks. The pavilion will shut down at 12 midnight on Sept. 5 before it will be demolished in order to make way for a $4 billion expansion of the I-294 Tri-State expansion. Officials indicated that gas stations and the 7-Eleven shops would remain in place. The tollway is adding a lane in each direction on the Central Tri-State between Rosemont and Oak Lawn.

Rest stops close down to widen highway Removing the glass and support beams over the tollway’s busiest road will be a complex task, according to Tollway officials. The tollway tore down the Des Plaines oasis pavilion in 2014 when it widened the Jane Addams Tollway (I-90). Workers had to use a thick mesh curtain in order to prevent debris from landing on I-90, and glass had to be removed from inside of the building. Demolishing the O’Hare pavilion and improving the parking lots is expected to cost $4.7 million; the project is anticipated to be complete in 2019. Built in the 1950s, the O’Hare oasis had a popular Fred Harvey restau-

Major milestone for Health Department RxBOX More than 50 tons of medication collected

The DuPage County Health Department’s medication take-back program, known as RxBOX, recently reached a collection milestone, following the drop-off by local police departments of unwanted, expired or unused medications. On Friday, Aug. 17, officials dropped-off 4,957 pounds of medications, bringing the total to 101,165 pounds collected (roughly

the weight of 25 average passenger cars) since the program was launched in 2009. The success of the RxBOX program is in the totals, with more than 10,000 pounds collected in 2012, and over 12,000 pounds each year since. “This was accomplished through the partnership between residents, law enforcement and public health

officials of DuPage County,” said Health Department Executive Director Karen Ayala. “We applaud the remarkable community response to RxBOX, as we work to reduce the risk of unused medication falling into the wrong hands.” In its Framework, the DuPage County Heroin Opioid Prevention and Education (HOPE) Taskforce identified the importance of reduc-

ing access to prescription drugs by promoting the use of safe drug-disposal through RxBOX and other drug take-back programs. The health department supports local community and pharmacy takeback programs as assisting in meeting this goal. Using RxBOX protects the environment and reduces the possibility of medications falling into the

wrong hands, which is dangerous and often tragic. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency arranges for the incineration of collected medicines to ensure they are not reused. Visit dupagehealth.org/rxbox for a list and map of the 18 RxBOX locations in DuPage County, disposal instructions, and items that are not accepted.

Mazzochi supports Ride Away from the Darkness for suicide awareness State Representative Deanne Mazzochi (R-Elmhurst) attended the Inaugural Ride Away From the Darkness Motorcycle Run and Rally in DuPage County held recently. The event, which drew more than 50 local riders, was organized by Westmont resident Chris Svitak, whose son committed suicide nearly

four years ago. All proceeds from the August 18 ride and rally were donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. “Chris Svitak chose to take his tragedy and raise awareness so someone else’s son, daughter, mother, brother, does not experience the loss of a loved one through suicide,” said Mazzochi.

One of their goals of the program is to help communities become more livable and sustainable by promoting a civil and cooperative environment on our roads through education and infrastructure design. A video and a Q & A session will be included. City staff and elected officials as well as teachers, school administrators and PTA parents are especially invited to attend, in hopes of bringing further awareness of safety issues when citizens and students are biking in the community.

“Chris was unaware of the seriousness of his son’s medical condition, and we are going to work together to explore legislation that will make it easier for people to spot signs and get help for their loved ones. Chris is doing a great job to organize this and other events to raise money for the Foundation for Suicide Prevention.” Motorcyclists on two, three and four-wheeled cycles, several of whom had lost someone close to them to suicide, rode approximately 70 miles from the Harley Davidson dealership in Countryside to Walsh’s Bar and Grill in Westmont. Mazzochi addressed the crowd at a

rally that followed the ride. “I am profoundly grateful for everyone who is here today,” she said. “You are sending a message that everyone has worth; every life has worth. You are sending a message to those living in despair – please, don’t be so sure that your life lacks value. Please hear us shouting from the rooftops, we do not want to lose you. The people here are willing to help you for one more day, and then another, and another, and another.” According to Mazzochi, in Illinois, one-person dies every six hours due to suicide and suicide is the third leading cause of death in individuals

aged 15-34. Svitak said he will host the event annually and has made it his life’s goal to increase suicide awareness and help parents and loved ones identify the signs before it is too late. Mazzochi added that she will continue to work with and support stakeholders in the community to ensure access to resources that can help those struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. Those experiencing suicidal thoughts, or who feel they may hurt themselves or others are strongly encouraged to contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800273-8255.

Police announce upcoming safety checks The Elmhurst Police Department continues to take part in a year-long traffic enforcement grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). The goal of this grant is to save lives by reducing fatal and serious injury crashes through additional enforcement of DUI and seatbelt laws. The next campaign of this grant began on Monday, Aug. 20 and continue through the Labor Day holiday weekend. This grant allows extra of-

ficers to be on patrol, watching for impaired drivers, distracted drivers, and seatbelt violations. The majority of this extra enforcement will take place in the overnight hours, which is statistically the most dangerous time to be on the roadway. In addition to increased patrols, a roadside safety checkpoint will take place on Friday, Aug. 31 from 11:30 p.m. through 3 a.m. Saturday morning. This type of checkpoint has proven to be a significant de-

New law takes aim at sexual harassment buyouts A new law will require taxing bodies to notify the public if they enter into a severance agreement with an employee or contractor that has been accused of sexual assault or discrimination. State Senator Tom Cullerton (D-Villa Park) championed House Bill 4242, which will apply to schools, community colleges, units of local government and other taxing bodies. This measure was signed into law on Thursday. “This will put a stop to using taxpayer dollars to line the pockets of administrators and employees who are guilty of sexual harassment or discrimination,” he said. “The Me Too Campaign movement continues to be an essential effort to push our society toward a zero-tolerance atmosphere. This law moves Illinois a step in the right direction.” The law requires the taxing body to notify the public within 72 hours of their entry into the agreement. The notification would include the name and title of the person receiving the payment, the amount of the payment, and whether the reason for the severance was for alleged sexual harassment or sexual discrimination. “This has been going on too long and it’s time we put a stop to it,” Cullerton said. “This law promotes gov-

ernment accountability and transparency—two things we need more than ever.” House Bill 4242 is a response to a separation agreement entered into by Des Plaines Elementary District 62 with Superintendent Floyd Williams Jr. Williams received a buyout of $127,000 after the school district received several complaints alleging sexual harassment. The separation agreement prohibited the district and Williams from disparaging each other and prevented the district from mentioning the sexual harassment allegations in reference letters. The district was aware when it hired Williams that he had faced allegations of misconduct in his previous position as assistant superintendent in Kenosha, Wisconsin, but nonetheless hired him after a supposed “thorough vetting.” “I will continue to fight for initiatives that help inform the public as to where their vital dollars are being spent,” Cullerton said. “The only way to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse is to hold people accountable.” House Bill 4242 passed the House and Senate with bipartisan support and goes into effect immediately. [This was submitted by the office of State Senator Tom Cullerton.]

Letters to the editor

Don’t stop fight against gun violence, reader urges

We have had far too many moments of silence since Sandy Hook. Our children and community deserve real action to stop the epidemic of gun violence in our country. We’re not alone and we’re not helpless. There are many seemingly simple, yet powerful things we can do today! More and more of our neighbors are uniting to bring the change we need. The phones in Congress are ringing off the hook with calls for commonsense gun reform, peaceful rallies are growing in numbers in cities across the country, and families and friends are gathering together in their own living rooms to talk about bringing violence prevention programs to their schools. The movement is growing and we must keep growing it. There is reason to have hope that we can prevent gun violence before it happens through sensible gun safety laws and programs in our schools and communities that help us identify the signs and signals before a shooting happens and intervene. To keep this hope alive and bring the change we need, I am asking everyone to take two simple actions today. First, call your member of Congress today and ask that he or she support gun violence prevention leg-

islation to keep guns out of dangerous hands. Secondly, Make the Promise at sandyhookpromise.org and help bring Sandy Hook Promise’s no-cost, violence prevention programs to our schools and community. David Terrill

COD Trustee calls Mazzochi ‘valuable asset’

Deanne Mazzochi’s appointment to the Illinois General Assembly is strictly a interim appoint subject to ratification by the voters in her district this November. She has stated publicly that “...she will resign from her COD seat if she’s elected to a full term as a state representative.” Her service to COD is definitely needed as the College embarks on a major academic re-organization and new educational initiatives. In my almost forty years of public service as a elected village trustee I can honestly say that I have been totally impressed by Ms. Mazzochi’s analytical skills, leadership abilities, and intellectual insight. Traits that have made her a valuable asset to the COD Board of Trustees and will make her a welcome addition to the membership of the Illinois General Assembly. Alan L. Bennett COD Trustee

Pulling weeds: a chore no one likes to do

My garden needs weeding. Oh, does it need it. It happens about this time every year. I start out strong, but then summer gets away from me and the weeds are miracle growing like they’ve been fertilized from the heavens. How do the weeds grow so fast? Mother Earth likes to decorate her canvas and her medium of choice (weeds) are in the eye of the beholder. My garden needs weeding. Unlike Mother Nature, I can differentiate between a weed and a zinnia or tomato plant. I sow and nurture the latter. Weeds need neither of those. They just grow, in places most unwanted – between my pepper plants, in amongst the basil and even between cracks in the sidewalk. They are everywhere. I know what I must do. What I should do. I should weed. I should take the time. Stop procrastinating. I have no problem pulling the weeds by their roots. I celebrate a long taproot pulled from the soil because I know a progeny will not be soon forthcoming. I have no problem killing – when it comes to weeds.

When is the last time you made a list of your dreams? Do you have a bucket list? Is your bucket getting bigger or smaller? When my husband and I were courting, we took a road trip and as we drove, we made a wish list of places we wanted to explore together. With our recent trip to Niagara Falls, we have completed the list. That thrills me. Our list included a variety of places, with some usual dream destinations like Hawaii, Alaska, London, Paris, Italy. I also wanted to go to off-thetourist-path places like Pepin, Wis., birthplace of Laura Ingalls Wilder. That and the Blue Ridge Mountains and Niagara Falls and places of natural beauty turned out to be some of my favorites. We’ve been to many places that weren’t on the list too. We have not started a new list yet,

but we did get a scratch-off map of the United States. The entire map is gold and when you scratch off a state, a lovely watercolor is exposed. I’ve been to all states but four, and my Prince has been to all but five. But there are many we’ve not explored together. I just want to scratch off all 50 states. My honey doesn’t really care about that. He wants to see what entices him, and up first is a long trip out west. Idaho, Montana, Wyoming.

We will take a month or more and do just that. That won’t happen for a year or two. It took us eight years to complete our first list and we are not on any kind of time line. If we don’t make it to all 50 states together, that’s okay too. We’ve had a great life and if it ends today, I’m grateful and overjoyed. (But I’m pretty sure we’re going to live to 108.) There may come a time when travel fades away. That is not the only fun thing in the world to do. There will always be classes that interest me, to take and to teach. There will always be concerts and plays that appeal. We love hiking and kayaking. There are never-ending trails and countless lakes and rivers. There are art festivals and my list goes on and on.

There will never be enough time for all the books I want to read and movies I want to watch. There will be stories and essays I want to write. There will be crafty projects to try. And, dearest husband, I will want to rearrange the furniture from time to time. We have done plenty: skydiving, hang gliding, hot air balloon, zip lining. What’s on your list? Do it! Age is not a restriction. My Ireland trip included folks in their 80s. Money is not a restriction. You can get AMAZING deals online and there is no harm or shame in carrying a credit card balance for a few months. And I know people who have won trips and have gotten free trips via work, friends, and all kinds of crazy ways.

Do not shut down your dreams. There is always a way. Your assignment for today: Ponder. Imagine. Dream. What do you still want to do while you are breathing on this planet? Make a list. Do not limit yourself to what you think can actually happen. Do you want to swim with the dolphins? Do you want to see the sunset on the ocean? Do you want to go on a mission trip? For now, put the dreams on paper. Smile as you write. That is the first step. The next step: Be open to receive. Start to BELIEVE that these dreams can happen. THEY CAN.

Yorkfield Presbyterian youth serve mission in the Adirondacks On July 28, seventeen youth and five adult advisors from Yorkfield Presbyterian Church (YPC) climbed into vans and headed out for a week of mission and service to the people of the Adirondack Mountain region in northern New York State. On the way there and back they stayed on the floors of local churches, which opened their doors in hospitality and friendship. The group served with Youthworks, an organization that has hosted youth mission trips over the past 25 years. YPC met up with one

other church, Grace of God Lutheran Church, out of Oakdale, Minnesota. Throughout the week, youth and adults volunteered their time and energy in a wide variety of ways. Participants were split into work crews for the week. One crew scraped and painted a historical local church that has been part of the community for more than 175 years. Others helped by weeding and revitalizing community gardens, cleaning and maintaining homes of local residents, helping weed and

gather vegetables at a local farm that offers produce to area food pantries, and cleaning and organizing materials for a local homeless shelter. Two of the crews also provided a Kids Club for local children, offering them an opportunity to learn about faith, play, eat, and have fun together. One youth participant had this to say: “It was amazing to know that I made a difference in someone’s life. It was really great to be able to help someone out.” The teenagers not only worked

hard, but they fun serving others as well. Working with leaders at a local camp, the youth honed their gardening skills and interacted with some of the animals. Corralling some chickens, one youth proudly exclaimed, “I caught a chicken!” Working together, the youth bonded and had fun getting to know each other better. They connected well with residents whom they served and grew closer in their understanding of faith in God. Throughout the week, the group shared in the responsibility of cooking, washing dishes and cleaning up for one another. Evening gatherings allowed times to sing together, pray together and reflect on the day. The week culminated with a community cookout in the backyard of the church that served as the main camp for the week. Youth and camp staff were joined by people who were served throughout the week for this celebratory meal outside. As the group finished eating, local kids that were part of the Kids Club ran and played, encouraging some of the youth to join with them. Later that evening, the group reflected on a week well spent (as well as on what lies ahead). On the way home to Elmhurst, the group stopped a couple of times to break up the long trip. Stopping in Buffalo, New York, they took in the grandeur of Niagara Falls. The final layover was in Toledo, Ohio,

where the group attended a Toledo Mud Hens game (and made it on the park’s huge electric scoreboard at least five different times). During their final evening together, many of the youth mentioned how much they appreciated the opportunity to serve together. Several said it was the highlight of their year. As the group arrived back home, youth were welcomed by their families and friends. The youth reported back to the congregation during the worship service on Sunday, Aug. 12. Participants from Yorkfield Presbyterian Church included Josie Andrews, Jack Birch, Grace Callen, Emily Ebsen, Anne Griffin, Isabel Jones, Colin Lestina, Abbie Lockie, Allie McGreal, Emma McGreal, Jensen Redick, Garrett Schwan, Ruby Schwan, Everett Snyder, Hayden Snyder, Grace Wiesenmayer, and Justin Zellinger. Adult leaders included Gordon Jensen, Brian Jones, Kelly Klenck, Abby Udelhofen and Pastor Matt Parker Wrzeszcz. Plans for next year’s youth mission trip are already underway. The Yorkfield Presbyterian High School Youth Fellowship (YF) meets regularly on Sunday nights throughout the year. High school youth interested in participating in the 2019 youth mission trip need to be active with YF throughout the year. Anyone interested in joining the group should contact Pastor Matt at mattpw@ eypc.org.

Visitors will be invited to explore a trio of works in the main galleries that create tension from opposing forces, whether elemental or experiential. The video Where We Meet shows a series of people from all ages walking from a single point on the horizon towards the viewer, arriving life-sized

on the museum wall before turning and disappearing into the distance again, highlighting one’s absence and presence in the world. Time Mirror III continues the interactive video work Haskins first introduced at the Museum in 2016 and allows viewers to experience multiple past versions of themselves interacting in real-time throughout the gallery space. The large-scale Architecture of Light is an immersive installation that combines the immaterial elements of fire (light) with the material elements of water (haze) to recreate atmospheric conditions similar to the sky’s sun and clouds. Using high-powered projectors Haskins creates dynamic architectural and sculptural composi-

tions of light throughout the space. As visitors explore the light installation, their physical presence dramatically transforms the surrounding environment with each small action. Haskins will also premiere a site-specific installation in the Museum’s McCormick House designed by Mies van der Rohe, which is the second of a series of transformative architectural interventions. Entitled Ascension / Descension, the mirrored installation will put the one-story glass house designed by the famed architect in conversation with the tall skyscrapers that made him a modern icon. This series, which debuted with an intervention by Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, celebrates the historic structure by Mies, especially as the

Fitness Formula Club offers Preview Center FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

If you’re anxiously awaiting the newest fitness facility opening in downtown later this fall, there’s a way to get a sneak peak right now. Directly across the street from Fitness Formula Club (FFC) currently under construction, the company has opened the FFC Preview Center at 135 N. Addison. Membership Director George Deoudes and his staff are available to give prospective members the chance to take a virtual tour (with eyeglasses!) of the fitness center or to see floor plans and building materials that are posted on the walls of the Preview Center. There’s a chance to learn about amenities, hours, age limits, classes, childcare and much more. “This is our 11th location,” Deoudes said in an exclusive interview. “We are proud to have Elmhurst as our newest location and plan to be open by December at the latest. We’re pushing to get things done even sooner.” Just a few of the offerings at FFC are group fitness classes, personal trainers, marathon/triathlon training,

boot camps, martial arts, swimming lessons and football and volleyball leagues. Amenities include an on-site café, yoga and Pilates studios, climbing walls, rooftop sundecks, towel service, a full-service spa featuring airbrush tanning, and more. You can sign up on the spot at the Preview Center to join the location. Deoudes and his staff can explain prices, payment plans and discounts available, including an advantage if you join early during the pre-opening. “We’re so fortunate to have the [Addison] parking deck right here to make it easy for people to leave their car and take a short walk across the street,” he said. “When people leave FFC after their workout, they find themselves right in downtown where shops, restaurants and other establishments await them.” The best part of the facility? “It’s our outdoor pool,” Deoudes said. “We have an indoor pool as well, but the outdoor pool also features a turf area and a club lounge – we will serve cocktails and other adult beverages there.” Now that’s fitness!

DEE LONGFELLOW PHOTOS Elmhurst Independent

Across the street from the new Fitness Formula Club being built on the 100 block of Addison is the company’s Preview Center at 135 Addison. It’s a great way to learn more about the facility and what it has to offer such as both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, an outdoor turf area and a club lounge.

Under construction for a while now, things are shaping up at Fitness Formula Club on the 100 block of Addison. Company officials say it will be open in December at the latest, but sources indicate the facility could open before then, perhaps as early as late September or early October. In the meantime, curious fitness enthusiasts are invited to FFC’s Preview Center across the street at 135 Addison to learn more about what’s coming. 320751

The two-time defending state-champion IC Catholic Prep football team picked up right where it left off.

York football team opens 2018 season New coach Fitzgerald has plenty of reasons for optimism

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

New York High School football coach Mike Fitzgerald beams with enthusiasm when talking about this year’s team. Fitzgerald, whose team lost 21-13 to New Trier in its non-conference opener, has four starters back on offense and a host of others on defense. Returning starters on offense for the Dukes, who went 2-7 a year ago, are running back KeVon Robinson, tight end Tyrone Birmingham, offensive lineman Hayden Snyder and wide receiver-running back Josiahh Scott. Fitzgerald also is excited about the four junior offensive linemen he has. “They all are pretty talented kids,” he said. “They have the size and that’s pretty incredible for being juniors. We have good depth up front. I like where we are at on the offensive line.” Joe Orrico and Mike Pedote will help at the wide receiver positions, along with Owen Pechous. Joe Javorek and Danny Dunn went into the season with both taking reps at the quarterback position. “Both have done a great job and have earned the right to play,” said Fitzgerald early last week of the two signal callers. “We have confidence in both guys.” Fitzgerald said his offense has a nice balance to it. “We’re able to run and pass,” said Fitzgerald. “We have that balance and we have skill guys on the field who can catch and move

the ball and also can block. Our offensive line is coming together. We can do some different things to utilize our personnel. Defenses will have a lot to account for against us.” Returning defensive starters include the likes of Bo Thomas, Ben Melion and Joey Goehl on the defensive line, along with John Milling, Zane Heemsoth and Anthony Scalzitti in the linebacking group. Senior Zach Armstrong, safeties Charlie Julian and Riley Hendron also will help the Dukes. “Charlie is a tough kid and a good cover guy who moves around and Riley has good length and range,” said Fitzgerald. “We have the defensive experience. They play well together, communicate and do the little things that make a difference. We have some great veteran leadership from guys who got a lot of playing time last year. They know the ins and outs of the defensive system and have done a good job. We have a lot of continuity on defense. We’re doing a few new things on defense, but for the most part we’re in a good place.” Fitzgerald said while the defensive scheme has remained mainly the same from the previous regime, the offense has undergone an overhaul. “We’ve revamped the offensive side of the ball and kind of turned it upside down,” he said. “On defense we are playing a similar format with some different variations. The fun part on the offensive side has been teaching the new offense and learning the language. It’s been neat to see how far they have come with it from June until now. It’s remarkable. Guys are starting to have confidence and they are taking ownership. Defensively we’re built mainly on what

we did last year but we’re fine-tuning some of the details.” York faces Addison Trail on the road in Week 2 action Friday. “Our focus is on us and controlling what we can control, which is our effort, attitude and preparation,” said Fitzgerald. “We want to put ourselves in the best position possible every Friday.”

Week 2 Preview York (0-1) at Addison Trail (0-1) When: Friday, 7:15 p.m. Where: Addison Trail High School, Addison Last week: New Trier 21, York 13; Conant 7, Addison Trail 0 Last year: Addison Trail 14, York 7 Outlook: This West Suburban Conference crossover game features a pair of teams looking to get in the win column in the early going. York, under new coach Mike Fitzgerald, lost by only eight to New Trier, while Addison Trail played Conant close in its opener. York kicks off Silver Division play next week at Lyons Township, while the Blazers have a Saturday matinee game against Glenbard West—another WSC crossover—in Week 3.

York boys soccer team off to strong start Dukes shut out first two opponents

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York boys soccer team couldn’t have asked for a better start to the season. The Dukes pitched a pair of shutouts in their opening two games against Hoffman Estates and New Trier. York was a 3-0 winner against Hoffman Estates as part of the Lake Park tournament. The Dukes had an

own goal, as well as single goals from Jon Milani and Joe Meade. The Dukes then headed to Winnetka where they were 2-0 winners against New Trier in non-conference play. Jack Musial and Ethan Oder each had a goal for York. “It’s a good group of kids,” said York coach Lukasz Majewski. “We have a lot of returning players from last year’s team and a couple new faces who are good additions to the club.” York welcomed goalie Kyle Johnson to the team, who previously was an academy player with the Chicago

Soccers club team. “He’s our starting goalie and he’s definitely every little bit of an academy player goalie,” said Majewski. “He’s well-organized and is a very athletic keeper.” On the returning front, Majewski is excited to have all his center-mids back in Meade, Paulo Favuzzi and Musial. Sweeper Eduardo Del Carmen also is back along with defensive right back Josh Borzello, forward Parker Gawne and midfield-forward Oder. Stopper Milani also returns. “We have a big part of the team

back from last year,” said Majewski. “I think we’re better because of the strong play we’re getting plus we have our entire defense back with a year under its belt.” Majewski said there is a strong sense of redemption on the pitch this year. “The mindset is we left a few games on the table last year including the playoff loss to Glenbard East,” he said. “The kids were really disappointed. The bar has been raised, but so is our technical ability. We are fast and we are technically gifted. We have the ability to possess the ball and not only keep it,

but move it fast. We are going to try and pressure teams into turnovers in their final third and capitalize off those.” Majewski said the Dukes also have seen progress with their play on set pieces. “Out of the five goals we’ve scored, four have come off set pieces,” he said. “That’s a big part of the game.” York played Lake Park over the weekend in the Lake Park tournament and has contests scheduled this week on Tuesday, Thursday (4:30 p.m.) and Saturday (9 a.m.) in the Lake Park event.

Timothy Christian girls tennis team out to create more success Trojans return state standouts Ahn and Lee

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Timothy Christian girls tennis team won the Metro Suburban Conference Red Division and saw the doubles tandem of Abygale Ahn and Cassandra Lee finish third in the state. And with Ahn and Lee leading the way once again, the Trojans

have their sights set on even more success. Ahn is a three-time state qualifier and the defending No. 1 singles champion in the conference two years running. Lee won a conference title at No. 1 doubles as a freshman last year and finished with a team-best 35-2 overall record. Also back is key contributor Abby Carstensen who played mostly doubles last year and won the No. 2 doubles title. She will move to No. 1 doubles this season. Senior Gabi Silvia and junior Cary Bone also are back. Newcomers to the squad include

sophomore Sarah Carstensen, junior Abby Schaafsma and senior Maggie Troxel. Sarah Carstensen will play No. 2 doubles this season, while Schaafsma will play No. 3 doubles. Troxel did not play last year and will play mostly No. 2 singles this season. “The top of the lineup is as good as any school in the area,” said Timothy coach Keith Mills. “Abygale and Cassandra were almost unbeatable last year whether in singles or doubles. Abby and Gabi have a year of varsity play under their belt so they should be more experienced than last year.”

Mills likes the team’s overall makeup. “We have a good mix of veterans and newcomers,” he said. “The team is fairly close-knit and they pull for each other.” Mills said the team’s No. 1 singles slot with Lee or Ahn is a key strength, as well as its No. 1 doubles position with either Ahn or Lee partnered with Abby Carstensen. “That will be tough to beat,” he said. “Cassie and Abygale will rotate between singles and doubles.” Mills said Sarah Carstensen has made big strides. “Sarah is improving rapidly and can be a solid singles or doubles player,” he said.

“We need another player to step up and she may be the one.” Mills said a key to the season will be winning matches at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles. “That will be the challenge,” he said. Timothy also will get a look at a revamped conference alignment “Wheaton Academy will be tough as well as Wheaton St. Francis. The divisions have changed in the Metro Suburban and we play in the stronger division (divisions now set up by strength of team and not by school size),” Mills pointed out. “We can compete for the conference title, but it will tough.”

York girls golf team defeats Lyons Township Freshman Matias earns medalist honors By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York girls golf team scored a key West Suburban Conference victory recently against Lyons Township in a contest played at Flagg Creek. York downed Lyons 162-171 at the varsity level. Audrey Matias was the meet medalist with a 38 for York. Haley Blattner and Elle Borchardt each had 41s, while Lauren Keith finished with a 42. York’s junior-varsity team also downed Lyons by a count of 191193. Macy Fries was the medalist with a 43. Julia Filosa had a 45, while Camille Steahly shot 50 and Jenna

Hughes finished with a 53. The Dukes also lost 184-195 to Downers Grove North in WSC play at Oak Brook Golf Club. Matias had a 47 for York, while Blattner and Keith each shot 49. Bella Bartolone carded a 50. York’s JV won by a 182-191 score over Downers North. Filosa and Fries each shot 45, while Hughes and Steahly each had 46s. York coach Barb Tilden has liked what she has seen thus far from her team, which started the season by winning its own invite at Oak Brook. “I was kind of pleasantly surprised. We played very well at Oak Brook,” she said. “There were some good teams there such as Wheaton-Warrenville South, Downers Grove North

and Downers South. A lot of people from the conference were there. Lyons Township was there and Oak Park-River Forest was there.” The Dukes also took fifth out of 24 teams at the Joliet Girls Golf Invite, which was held under scramble rules. York had two players tie for ninth. “We did well there,” said Tilden. Tilden’s team returns the likes of senior Bartalone, who qualified for sectional last year, along with juniors Blattner and Cassie Sika. Mathias is a freshman and Keith is a transfer student. “The girls all worked on their games over the summer. We’re very excited about that,” said Tilden. “We’re playing well to start. It’s a nice group that is fun to be around. They

are very energetic and focused. They are hitting the ball well.” Tilden said the WSC will again be competitive. “Downers North will be one of the top teams along with Hinsdale Central,” she said. “Everybody in the conference we’ve seen so far we’ve beaten except for Downers North.” York will split its home matches

between Sugar Creek in Villa Park, Oak Brook and River Forest Country Club. “I really like this group,” said Tilden. “We had a longest drive competition in practice and I couldn’t believe the ball-striking ability of these girls. We’ve never had a group that is this deep. We have a lot of girls who can play.”

Knights have eight players back from a year ago

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball team kicked off the 2018 season with a 25-5, 25-12 non-conference win against Lisle. Sophie Hurt had 23 assists, four digs, three kills and one ace for the Knights. Maya Stovall added seven kills and one ace. Jess Sobon had seven kills, while Kaya Hood had six kills. Bella Leslie had four digs, while Olivia Hurt had five digs and three aces. Olivia Palumbo had three digs and three aces.

Coach Nancy D’Amore has eight players back from a year ago. “We still are very young this year,” she said. Her roster has six sophomores, four juniors and only three seniors. Back for the Knights are Stovall (outside hitter), Olivia Hurt (defensive specialist), Kelly Murray (rightside hitter), Leslie (libero), Sobon (outside hitter), Kristen Brachmann (6-foot middle blocker) and Sophie Hurt, the team’s all-conference setter from a year ago. Newcomers to the team include sophomore twins Maddie and Morgan Benson, who both are defensive specialists. Juniors include right-side Palumbo, defensive specialist Fran Capannari and outside hitter-right-

side hitter Victoria Bernero. “Once again our bread and butter is going to be our defense and our first contact skills,” said D’Amore. “We’re going to be a very strong serving, passing and defensive team. We have a lot of strong defensive players. We’re already playing good team defense. They have shown good signs there. Our first match with Lisle we looked good.” D’Amore likes the team’s height as well. “We look to be strong both in the middle and outside,” she said. “We also have a returning all-conference setter in Sophie Hurt. Right now, we feel good. Our strength is going to be our defense and our abil-

IC hosts World Youth Day Cross Welcomes holy icon on its trip around the world

On Tuesday, Aug. 21, Immaculate Conception Parish had the honor of hosting the World Youth Day Cross, a symbol given to the world’s youth by Pope St. John Paul II at the first World Youth Day in 1984 in Rome. Pope St. John Paul II also gifted an Marian icon to accompany the cross as it travels the world. These symbols, venerated by both Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis, will continue to travel internationally as they make their way to World Youth Day in Panama in January of 2019. On Aug. 21, students from both Immaculate Conception Grade School and IC Catholic Prep had the opportunity to venerate the cross and offer their prayers in union with the millions of others who have prayed before it. IC parishioners as well as parishioners from around the Diocese of Joliet also visited IC for this rare opportunity. Immaculate Conception Parish was the only parish in the Diocese of Joliet to have the privilege of hosting the 13-foot cross and the icon of Mary, the Mother of God. Holy Name Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Chicago hosted these symbols on Monday, Aug. 20. Upon leaving Elmhurst, the cross and icon continued on to the Archdiocese of Miami in Florida.

ity on first contact.” D’Amore also likes the team’s chemistry in light of having such a varied age range on the team. “We had a trio of three freshmen who played last year and that kind of softened the blow,” she said. “It’s not a big shocker that the three freshmen already are pretty tight with the group and now they have three peers on the team. It’s nice to have that dynamic. I can’t tell by looking out at the court at any point that a lot of these girls aren’t seniors. We already have the team chemistry and relationships down.” IC Catholic Prep is in a division in the revamped Metro Suburban Conference with the likes of St. Francis, Rosary, St. Edward, Timothy Christian, Riverside-Brookfield

and Aurora Central Catholic. “We recognized the strength of our division right away,” said D’Amore. “We won’t have any breaks, which we think is OK. Like we do every year we talk about what we are preparing for and also going out there and learning and getting better. We’re back in Class 2A again so we hope our tough conference schedule will get us ready to make a deep run in the postseason. I’m really excited about this season. I think we are going to be exciting to watch. We still have a lot of growth potential. But from the summer to the first match of the season I’ve seen a ton of growth. I feel really good about this year. They are hard-working and the dynamic in the gym has me really encouraged. They are very focused.”
