Mayor, city officials discuss O’Hare with two Congressmen

Presentation on Fly Quiet program by ONCC to occur within two weeks

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

More residents spoke up during the public forum portion of the City Council meeting on Tuesday, Sept.

5, regarding the detrimental effects of the O’Hare Fly Quiet Runway Rotation tests going on over the past few months. Elmhurst is currently in the midst of Fly Quiet Test #3, which ends Oct. 15.

Mayor Steve Morley reported that he, City Manager Jim Grabowski and 2nd Ward Alderman Bob Dunn had met with Congressmen Mike Quigley and Raja Krishnamoorthi to discuss issues at O’Hare Airport particularly the Fly Quiet program, but also the future of the O’Hare Modernization Plan (OMP).

“Congressman Raja listened to our concerns, but Quigley was a little more of a give-and-take,” Morley said. “I told him about the issues we had with Fly Quiet #3.”

One of the concerns, the mayor said, was the lack of feedback on the first Fly Quiet Tests. While City officials had been told to expect a report on the data that was collected and what it indicates for the future of O’Hare, none has been forthcoming. This has created a lack of trust between the City and the Fly Quiet Program officials.

“We were told there was to be analysis of the data and none came

prior to Test #3,” Morley said. “It has created a lack of trust between our community, the ONCC [O’Hare Noise Compatibility Commission] and the Fly Quiet people, because it was put in so quickly. When the original program was put in place, a lot of lip service was given to the fact that data would be analyzed between each event, each rotation.

“The time between Fly Quiet 2 and Fly Quiet 3 was such that the data wasn’t even available yet from Fly Quiet 2 to be analyzed before Fly Quiet 3 was more or less jammed down our throats.”

Morley told Congressman Quigley that what fueled the lack of trust was not knowing what was going to happen at O’Hare once Fly Quiet 3 ends on Oct. 15.

“I’d never had it put to me so succinctly at the time, but the Congressman’s staff told us the reason Fly Quiet 3 was rushed through so quickly is that, if they had taken the amount of time they had planned to analyze the data and offer recommendations, by the time they would have implemented Fly Quiet 3, there’s a good chance that they would have run into the O’Hare Modernization Plan’s next steps, which was possibly extending some of the runways.”

Chamber offers update to Capital Campaign dollars

The Elmhurst Independent - Thursday, September 14, 2017 • 3

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

No sooner had the last issue of the Elmhurst Independent gone to press, John R. Quigley, president & CEO of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry (ECCI), offered updates of the funds that have been raised so far in the Centennial Celebration Capital Campaign, and with them, how much closer the campaign is to reaching its goals.

As of late last week, Quigley reported that the grand total of the campaign was at $149,645, or 60% of its $250,000 goals. Previously it was reported at $142,500.

The Elmhurst College Student Intern Endowment Fund had raised 74% of its $150,000 goal, but now has $112,300, placing it at 75% of its goal.

The amount of the Second Century Fund, which includes the Civic Hall of Fame Memorial Project, was $37,345, reaching 37% of its goal of $100,000. When broken down, the Second Century Fund without the Civic Hall of Fame project is at $35,345, or 71% of goal, and the Civic Hall of Game project alone holds $2,000, placing it at 4% of its $50,000 goal.

It should be noted that the fund was started by Charity Ahlgrim who set up the account at Community Bank of Elmhurst with her own contribution of $500.

The numbers continue to rise every week, leading up to the ECCI’s 100th anniversary Centennial Celebration, which comes around in 2018.

Anyone wishing to to contribute to any of these funds should call 630834-6060 or visit elmhurstchamber. org.

Raja asks FEMA to incorporate climate change into flood, disaster risk reports Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi called upon the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to issue a report on any steps FEMA is taking to help communities address the increasing likelihood of severe weather through incorporating the effects of climate change into its risk projections, including flood maps.

At the Elmhurst City Council meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 5, Mayor Steve Morley announced that the electric aggregation program has ended and no longer exists. This refers to households who were part of the program to get electrical service from a company other than ComEd. “The way it was set up is, you can have one company supply the garden hose and another can provide the water,” Morley explained. “The City had the opportunity to aggregate our electricity, which created savings of $2 million for our residents in the first couple of years.”

The mayor said ComEd has caught up with their futures contract and was able to bring their cost per kilowatt hour down to where it is much more in line with the market to the point that nothing more has to be done.

“You won’t even notice a difference, but you’ll see a little change in your billing where it will switch back to ComEd,” Morley said.

lize weather patterns and increase the likelihood of extreme weather events,” said Congressman Raja.

“As our country recovers from the devastating human and material costs of the recent string of onehundred-year floods and hurricanes, it is vital that government agencies, communities, and businesses have the best available risk assessments for future storms. To guarantee the quality of our weather projections, the impacts of climate change must be taken into account.

Congressman Raja’s letter to Administrator Long of the FEMA reads as follows: “The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s responsibility to protect the United States from natural and man-made disasters is one of the most important functions of the federal government. The increased dangers posed by climate change and the recent devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey along with the incredible ferocity of Hurricane Irma underscore the stakes of adequate preparation. One-hundred year floods and hurricanes are happening too regularly; forest fires are raging with an intensity and frequency not seen until now; and other severe weather events

“

The human and economic cost of climate change is no longer academic, and our failure to take this into account will only increase the toll of future storms.”

–Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi

are occurring that outdated weather models and maps are not properly accounting for. If we do not properly prepare for these events, our citizens and taxpayers will continue to foot the bill for inadequate preparation.

“In July, the House of Representatives recognized the national security implications of failing to ad-

dress climate change. The FY2018 NDAA acknowledged that climate change is a direct threat to national security and required the Department of Defense to take climate change into account when assessing threats, use of resources, and readiness.

“It is long past time for civilians to have the same level of preparation. When planning for storms, communities need to have the most up-to-date information about the threats and dangers posed by severe weather. Engineers need to know the true likelihood of encountering hurricane-force winds, severe floods, and other extreme weather.

“To this end, I respectfully request that you provide me with all the steps FEMA is taking to help communities address the increasing likelihood of severe weather.

Specifically, I would like to know if FEMA is taking the greater odds of severe weather and climate change into account in the Risk MAP program and when drawing flood maps.

“The human and economic cost of climate change is no longer academic, and our failure to take this into account will only increase the toll of future storms.”

District 205 to offer State of the Schools Address to be given by Dr. Moyer on Monday, Sept. 18

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

According to a release from School District 205 and from the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Dr. David Moyer will be providing a State of the Schools address on Monday, Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. in the York High School Commons area. Moyer expects to discuss student achievement as well as the goals for the District during the upcoming year. The public is welcome.

(Continued from page 1) Quigley was very open to Elmhurst’s concerns, once Morley explained that the biggest issue was that with the first two Fly Quiet Tests, Elmhurst was hit 20-25% of the time; in Fly Quiet 3, it was 50%, which raised the question about fair and equitable distribution.

“We feel that runways that affect our residents 50% of the time are out of step, and Cong. Quigley understood that,” Morley said. “He stressed that it was very important that we stay engaged, but that we recognize that just a blanket statement like, ‘we want no runway traffic over our community,’ was a losing cause. Being as close to O’Hare as we are, that is unrealistic, at least if you want to have a seat at the table.”

They also talked about the uncertainty of what happens after Oct. 15 when Fly Quiet 3 ends as

well as what happens in the next 18 months to two years until the next phase of the OMP gets underway. Morley said they had not yet heard back about those issues. He added that they were expecting a presentation on the Fly Quiet tests by the ONCC within the next two weeks.

Morley’s letter sent to Chicago Dept. of Aviation After the City Council meeting on Monday, Aug. 21, when a resolution was passed to formally oppose the Fly Quiet Runway Rotation Program, the mayor sent a letter to Chicago Department of Aviation Commissioner Ginger S. Evans expressing Elmhurst’s overwhelming disappointment with the test program and how it has disproportionately affected the community in a negative

way.

One point that was made in the letter to Evans was that Elmhurst remains supportive of the completion of the OMP, knowing it is expected to help disperse the noise in neighborhoods near the airport.

“We would encourage a practice of using preferred routes which are intended to direct aircraft over less-populated areas, such as forest preserves, highways and commercial and industrial areas,” the mayor’s letter read. “The Runway Rotation Plan test is clearly contrary to the efficient operations of O’Hare Airport which results in significant waste of time and money. The test has already shown negative effects on the quality of life to Elmhurst residents. We ask that you not continue with this program any further.”

Gov. Rauner signs Bicycle Traffic Bill intended to improve cyclist safety A bicycle traffic bill signed into law by Governor Rauner will allow drivers in Illinois to pass bicycles in a no-passing zone in order to improve cyclist safety and traffic flow on the road. Under certain conditions when it’s safe to do so, it will be legal for drivers to cross the solid no-passing centerline into the oncoming lane in order to pass a cyclist by at least three feet, the minimum legal clearance.

The new legislation will also officially legalize bicycling on road shoulders, a common safety practice by cyclists, and allow cyclists to use a rear tail light instead of the legally required rear reflector when bicycling at night.

The bill, House Bill 1784, was proposed by Ride Illinois, a nonprofit bicycle advocacy organization dedicated to improving bicycling conditions and safety throughout the state. Filed back in Jan., HB1784 was sponsored and led through the General Assembly by State Rep. Tim Butler of Springfield and State Sen. Heather Steans of Chicago. The legislation unanimously passed both chambers in May, and was signed by the governor on Friday. The new laws will go

into effect on Jan. 1, 2018.

“This new legislation legalizes some common motorist and bicyclist traffic practices,” said Ed Barsotti, Ride Illinois’ Chief Programs Officer. “The intent is to make the roads safer while improving car-bicycle interactions.”

Long no-passing zones on twolane roads commonly present a problem for drivers trying to legally pass a bicyclist with at least three feet of clearance. The travel lanes of most roads lack the width needed for drivers to safely and legally pass a cyclist with at least three feet of clearance while staying within the lane.

In this common situation, most motorists do cross solid centerlines to pass cyclists anyway. However, some drivers choose to pass the cyclist too closely to obey the no-passing zone, and in doing so, illegally squeeze by within the same, too-narrow lane - a scary maneuver sometimes leading to sideswipe crashes.

For long no-passing zones, those drivers obeying both the no-passing zone and the three-feet passing law may not be able to pass a bicycle for a long time.

Under the new law, when there is

Senior Commission announces upcoming Community Conversations The Elmhurst Senior Citizens Commission is offering two informative presentations this fall, one in October and another in November.

sufficient distance to do so, drivers in this situation will be allowed to cross into the oncoming lane to safely pass a cyclist who is riding at less than half the posted speed limit. The driver must pass with at least three feet clearance and not exceed the speed limit.

The new legislation will also legalize bicycling on shoulders, a common safety practice of biking.

Current Illinois law largely restricts vehicles driving on a shoulder, with some specified exceptions (e.g. farm tractors and equipment), and the new legislation will add bicycles to the list of exceptions. Having this legal clarity will benefit cyclists as well as road agencies desiring to sign or otherwise designate bicycle routes having paved shoulders. Bicycling on shoulders is not required, however, as there are situations for which cyclists should not ride on a shoulder.

The last provision of the new legislation will update current law and allow cyclists to use a rear, red tail light instead of (or in addition to) the currently required rear, red reflector when bicycling at night. Today’s improved bicycle light technology has much greater visibility than reflectors, and many bicyclists solely use rear lights already. Eight states and the City of Chicago currently allow either a light or reflector in their ve- Emmet, the mascot for Classic Cinemas which includes York Thehicle code, and now Illinois will join atre, greets a little girl while he strolled around City Centre during the group. the Rock the Block Party on Saturday, Sept 9.

Obituary

Elmhurst Fire Chief Thomas Freeman is pictured here taking part in the 9/11 ceremony held at the south fire station on Monday, Sept. 11. He shared some bittersweet stories of the first responders and how they reacted on that day 16 years ago. For instance, he told of one rather rotund woman who was in the stairwell on the 24th floor of the building and told rescuers to “go ahead and leave me,” but they refused.

A group of them carried her all the way down all 24 stories. A few years later, the woman passed away but had no family so those same rescuers came out to serve as her pallbearers.

DEE LONGFELLOW PHOTO Elmhurst Independent

HUGH GRIFFITHS KEPNER, 94 Hugh Griffiths Kepner passed away peacefully Sunday, September 3, 2017, while surrounded by loving family at the age of 94. Hugh, known as “Kep,” was born on October 23, 1922 in Chicago to Hugh C. and Margaret Kepner. He married his high school sweetheart, Norma Virginia Smith who predeceased him in 2003. They were married 59 years and began their lives together while Kep was serving in the military. Kep achieved the rank of 1st Lieutenant Field Artillery in the U.S. Army during WWII. Toward the end of his military career he served in the Army Air Force preparing for the invasion of Japan as a reconnaissance pilot. After service, Kep returned to Purdue University to finish his B.S., studying Mechanical Engineering.

Upon graduation, he soon started Kepner Products Company (KPC) with his father Hugh C. Kepner. Plans changed suddenly when the elder Kepner passed away leaving Kep to run the business. Kep invented and patented a unique line of Kep-Oseal valves with a “Flexible Seal Seat” that are leakproof in high pressure applications. His valves were used in Rocketdyne’s Atlas engines which were in the rockets that launched John Glenn into space.

From these early years KPC deep-

DIY, laughter and olive oil

Do-it-youselfers will attest to two universal truths: projects beget projects and the outcomes are often funny if you are willing to laugh at yourself or others. Both phenomena happen to me all the time. This week at our house it involved stickers.

My husband and I recently updated our bathroom by framing the mirror. With the mirror framed and looking lovely, it became apparent (to me) that our soap dispenser was lacking. Or better put, we were lacking a soap dispenser. We were simply using the bottle the soap came in when purchased from the store. Next to the newly framed mirror it looked practically plastic (because it was). We were in need of an upgrade.

I found a suitable plain white ceramic dispenser and put it in the bathroom next to the sink. It was an improvement, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing. And then it hit me: what

in this case, I had extra, unused stickers. I looked around the kitchen for something else to label.

Next to the sink, I have a spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol to clean the stainless steel and other surfaces needing disinfecting.

There wasn’t enough space to spell out rubbing or alcohol so I took three letters – A, L and C – and placed them on the bottle. I wasn’t done yet.

There was a similar spray bottle on the stovetop that held olive oil – of the extra virgin variety. Again, space was an issue, so I went with the well-known (or so I thought) abbreviation: EVOO. (Extra virgin olive oil, for those who have never heard of Rachel Ray.) I still had some stickers left, but it was time to make supper so I put my projects on hold. And here’s where the funny part comes in.

As we were prepping for our meal, my husband (who is a Rachel Ray fan) reached for the olive oil

we needed was a label.

I didn’t trust my artistic prowess enough to paint a label on the ceramic. Instead I opted for stickers.

I got some nice black letters and placed four of them on the dispenser to spell SOAP. It was perfect. So perfect that I got two more dispensers – one for the other bathroom and one for the kitchen – and labeled them with SOAP stickers as well.

I was satisfied with my mini-projects and for most DIYers the story would end here. But I am not only a DIYer; I am a penny-pincher. And

and reacted with a start.

“What the heck is ee-vu?” he asked (He pronounced EVOO as though it rhymed with emu.) Then he repeated his question, sort of.

“Ee-vu? That’s not even a word.

I’ve never heard of ee-vu. Is this some sort of joke?”

By this time, I couldn’t answer him because I was laughing my eevu off.

Sensing an opportunity to laugh at a parent, the kids gathered nearby.

None of them let my husband in on the joke. God bless the children.

My husband remained incredulous. “Ee-vu? Are you messing with me? Ee-vu, really?”

Each time he said the “word” we all burst out in laughter. The kitchen

was a very happy place, unless you were my husband.

Finally one of the kids took pity and let him in on the secret. We all got a good laugh out of that one and my husband learned a new vocabulary word.

All in all it was a good day. Especially for a DIYer. And I’m not done yet. I still have a few stickers left.

I just have to figure out what I can spell and where I can put them.

Plenty of things to do and eat!

These little girls with painted faces take a moment to enjoy pizza slices and cool drinks after spending time at the City Centre’s Rock the Block Party held Saturday Sept. 8 & 9 in downtown Elmhurst.

Looks like they spent some time in the children’s section.

On Saturday, Sept. 9, Elmhurst City Centre’s Rock the Block Party offered guests not only a great selection of food and drinks, but also ample places to sit and enjoy themselves. These two girls enjoyed hot dogs while sitting in front of the TCBY store.

Bethel United Church of Christ proudly presents Vocality on Saturday, Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. as part of its Music@Bethel Concert Series. Vocality is a festival chorus comprised of alumni and current members of Chicago Children’s Choir as well as young vocal artists from a wide array of communities within and surrounding the city of Chicago.

The vocal group is to present a memorable evening of selections from musical theater to popular and contemporary music. Founded by Josephine Lee, President and Artistic Director of Chicago Children’s Choir, Vocality’s mission is to exemplify the highest level of choral singing with an emphasis on excellence

and diversity among its membership.

Vocality made its premiere in July 2015 at Ravinia Festival in a concert performance of Porgy and Bess with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

A wine reception will follow the concert. Bethel United Church of Christ is located at 315 East St. Charles Road in Elmhurst. Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors and $5 for students. A family pass is available at $45 for two adults and up to five children. Tickets are available online through musicatbethel.com or by calling 630-279-4040. The church is accessible and parking is free. Enter at the Sandburg Middle School entrance from St. Charles Road, or from Huntington off Poplar Street.

Elmhurst cancer advocate to travel to nation’s capital Terry Hennen, an ACS CAN volunteer from Elmhurst, will join more than 700 cancer patients, survivors, volunteers and staff from all 50 states and nearly every congressional district in Washington, D.C., as part of the annual American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network Leadership Summit and Lobby Day. Advocates will ask Congress to take specific steps to make cancer a national priority and help end a disease that still kills 1,650 people a day in this country.

Hennen will meet with Congressman Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) and U.S. Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) to discuss the need to support an increase in federal funding for cancer research.

He will also ask them to co-sponsor legislation that supports patients’ quality of life and to support legislation that would close a loophole A young man hands tickets to a food vendor at Cozzi Cove to buy himself a slice of pizza.

With a long history of cancer in his family, Hennen said he is traveling to Washington, D.C. to help ensure fewer people will face a cancer diagnosis. He added that members of Congress play a critical role in passing public health policies that fight this disease.

“One in two men and one in three women will hear the words ‘you have cancer’ in their lifetime,” Hennen said. “We need a full and unwavering commitment from Congress to take action to help prevent and treat cancer. We want our lawmakers to know that volunteers from Illinois and from every state across the country are counting on them to take a stand.”

An estimated 64,720 Illinoisans will be diagnosed with cancer in 2017, and more than 24,000 Illinoisans will lose their fight against cancer.

ICCP unveils newly renovated main floor with special blessing On Wednesday, Aug. 16, IC Catholic Prep (ICCP) students, faculty, administration, parents, and friends gathered to celebrate Mass as a school community to mark the beginning of a new school year and to unveil and bless the newly-renovated main floor of the high school.

ICCP was honored to have Most Reverend Joseph Siegel, Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Joliet, lead the Mass and blessing, along with Immaculate Conception Pastor, Very Rev. Thomas Paul, and Associate Pastor Rev. Chris Lankford.

At the conclusion of the all school Mass, Bishop Siegel, Very Rev. Thomas Paul, and Rev. Chris Lankford led the students and faculty on a procession from the church to the front steps of the high school. They were joined by

members of the ICCP administration including Principal Pamela Levar and President Tom Schergen. After the blessing was completed at the school’s front entrance, the procession continued through the main floor of the school where all of the classrooms and newly-hung crucifixes received a blessing as well.

The upgrades to the main floor were made possible through a generous donation from the estate of IC alumnus Gerald Nelson from the class of 1950. Construction began in late May and was completed just days before the first day of school on August 14. Improvements included new carpeting, whiteboards to replace chalkboards, wall tiles, roller shades, upgrades to energy efficient lighting, a new PA system and more.

Visitation school welcomes new Assistant Principal Katie McVey

Visitation Catholic School has announced the hiring of Katie McVey as Assistant Principal, who will focus on marketing and publicizing the school through local and social media as well as assisting the principal with day-to-day operations of the school.

Katie has taught for 12 years at Visitation in several grade levels and also is an alumna of the school, bringing a lifelong love and passion for Visitation to this new position. She has a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership and is looking forward to applying her day-to-day knowledge in the classroom to efforts to continue to improve the education for Visitation Katie McVey students.

“Young families increasingly get their information from social media and Visitation School needs to have a strong presence in these platforms to get the word out about our exceptional school,” McVey said. “I’m looking forward to showcasing all that Vis has to offer to our community while working together with our Principal and teachers to continue to improve the educational experience at Vis!” McVey is also a York alumna and the daughter of longtime Elmhurst residents Bob and Patty Burnette who are still active in the Elmhurst and Visitation community.

GMTT presents hilarious musical with awful title Urinetown: The Musical opens Sept. 22

KEN BEACH PHOTO Elmhurst Independent

When the Poor overflow with rage, they just might Snap! This photo was taken during a rehearsal as Greenman Theater Troupe prepares for its upcoming performance coming up. Pictured are (from left): Samantha Sieghart, Gregory Winston, Daniel Dick, Alexander R. Wellington, Madison Seabrook, Bobby Alexander, and Kimi Arquines threatening Heather Pauliks (in chair).

Spring Road Day

GreenMan Theatre Troupe kicks off their 2017-18 season with the hilarious musical with an awful title, Urinetown: The Musical, written by by Mark Hollman and Greg Kotis. Production dates for the show are Sept. 22-Oct. 15. Performances will be presented at GreenMan’s performance space, 232 S. York St. Tickets are $20, $18 for students and seniors. For tickets and information, call 630464-2646, or visit greenmantheatre.org.

Urinetown: The Musical premiered in 2001 and went on to win three Tony awards, including for Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical.

The premise of the show is that a terrible drought has caused a water shortage so severe that private toilets have been banned.

Citizens may only use public amenities, which are regulated by a greedy corporation and supported by strict laws against public urination. The show satirizes big business, social irresponsibility, and populism while parodying specific musicals and musical styles.

The characters even speculate on whether a show with an “awful title” could ever succeed. The New York Times called the show a “zesty and full-bodied original” and a “marvelously self-conscious satire…audacious and exhilarating, riotously and intelligently arch.”

Zach Gibson, who plays Officer Barrel, observes that Urinetown: The Musical “has all the trappings of a ‘traditional musical’ set to a fantastic, modern score with a witty, hilarious script.” Katie Soria, who plays Ma Strong, adds that “If you love musical theater, you’ll love seeing this silly spoof of some iconic dances, musical styles, and characters. And if you hate musical theater, you’ll love that this show, while paying homage to musicals, is also poking fun at the genre.” And Bobby Alexander, who plays Robby the Stockfish, comments that “the title is definitely tongue-in-cheek. It’s supposed to be an awful title and that is definitely poked fun at in the show itself! It’s a very self-aware show.” Craig Gustafson directs; Jim Stahulak is the musical director, and Jacqueline Schultz is the choreographer.

Urinetown: The Musical is produced with generous support from Lillypad Development LLC, a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency, and additional support from the City of Elmhurst Community Grant Program.

Elmhurst Park District sponsors Family Fall Fest Fall Fest has been a staple in Elmhurst for a number of years, so when the Elmhurst Park District was asked to take over the event, they couldn’t turn it down. This year, the event will be held Saturday, Oct. 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Wild Meadows Trace and Safety Town.

“In the past, the Park District has been an event partner by offering trick-or-treating within Safety Town, and this year we’re excited to add some new features as the organizer of the event,” said Executive Director Jim Rogers. “York & Vallette Business Association has done a great job with the event all these years, and Park District staff is looking forward to expanding upon that tradition.”

In addition to changing the name to “Family Fall Fest,” the District felt it was appropriate to eliminate the admission fee.

“It is our mission to provide fun, recreational experiences to residents, and one of the ways we do that is

by hosting a number of free events throughout the year,” said Rogers.

“When staff agreed to take over Fall Fest, it was an easy decision to eliminate the cost of admission and allow the community to take part in the festivities free of charge.”

New activities will include an inflatable corn maze, craft time in the Depot, courtesy of the Elmhurst Public Library, and a festive backdrop where families are invited to take their own photos. The Elmhurst Police Department will be on hand distributing complimentary trick-ortreat bags while supplies last, and a number of local businesses will offer games and activities, including pumpkin tic-tac-toe, rock painting, plinko and a pumpkin toss.

David Agency Insurance hosts Hurricane Harvey Donation Drive Sends semi-tractor trailer to Texas bulging with donations, supplies

What started out as an idea at The David Agency Insurance, Inc. to have the office collect items for hurricane victims of their client’s apartment complexes in Corpus Christi blossomed into several communities coming together to provide donations to Hurricane Harvey victims.

Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry sent out an email blast to ask other local businesses if they would like to participate and participate they did! Word started to spread with other local businesses, schools, churches, families, via facebook, group board postings, proving social media works.

With everyone’s generosity pour-

es, time and encouragement on this donation drive.

The Semi Tractor Trailer is on its way down to Texas with the assis-

tance of United Way and Catholic donations to the victims of Hurricane Charities, who will be receiving the Harvey.

Thank you to everyone’s generosdonations. These charities will be providing the distribution of your ity!

ing in, The David Agency Insurance began boxing and filling offices with the donations.

With such volume they knew that they would have to lease a semi-tractor trailer to take everything down to Texas.

The tractor trailer arrived and was quickly filled with the assistance of the agency’s employees, local fire department firemen and volunteers from a suburban school district that pulled up with four truckloads to transfer into the semi.

The David Agency Insurance would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of kindness (the list is too long print), who donated items, box-

Sheehan firm changes name to IRS Trouble Solvers Local tax attorney Patrick T. Sheehan is pleased to announce that the law firm he created in 1991, Patrick T. Sheehan & Associates, will also now be known as IRS Trouble Solvers. This new co-branding effort “allows us to better define who we are and continue to focus on what we do best — representing individuals and businesses in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service or the Illinois Department of Revenue.”

When Sheehan started his firm over 25 years ago, it was just a oneman operation. In addition to representing taxpayers before the IRS, Sheehan said that he also answered the phones and emptied out the garbage cans. However, the steady growth of the firm has led to many changes over the years, including the 2001 purchase of the office building in which they still operate.

Today, IRS Trouble Solvers has three experienced tax attorneys including Molly Young and Greg Dzialo along with a capable staff of professionals. The new brand shines a brighter light on the experience and capabilities of both Young and Dzialo who have a combined experience of 14 years as tax attorneys. Young’s legal talents include Offers in Com-

promise, negotiating the release of bank and wage levies and innocent spouse relief. Dzialo’s legal talents include audits, offshore tax issues and Illinois Department of Revenue matters.

“Unlike the national tax resolution firms that you hear on the radio or see on TV, IRS Trouble Solvers is a local law firm where our lawyers resolve IRS problems like we have done from the very beginning, in a one-on-one setting,” Sheehan said. “If you have an IRS problem, you will sit down with either myself, Molly or Greg in our brick and mortar location in the heart of Chicago’s western suburbs, look him or her straight in the eye and have all of your questions answered. You will never talk to a salesman on the telephone located in another state.”

Sheehan is a former Special Assistant United States Attorney with the Internal Revenue Service and served in the IRS Office of Chief Counsel from 1987 to 1991. He has litigated extensively in federal court, including the United States Tax Court, and was sworn into the United States Supreme Court Bar in 2007.

York boys crosscountry team defeats Oak Park-River Forest IC Catholic Prep crosscountry teams poised for improvement

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York boys cross-country team defeated Oak Park-River Forest 2041 on a 3-mile course at Schiller Woods.

Sean MacGregor took second for the Dukes with a time of 15:46. Timothy Stevenson was third at 15:55.

Jackson Bode took fourth at 16:05, while Daniel Klysh was fifth at 16:11.

John Rosack took sixth at 16:17. Joe Evely was eighth at 16:32. Mark Morgan placed ninth at 16:41 and Eddie Ryan was 10th at 16:42. York had nine of the first 11 runners cross the finish line.

The Dukes are coming off a 2016 campaign where they finished third in the West Suburban Conference Silver Division and qualified for the Class 3A state finals meet.

Back for York are seniors Charlie Kern Jr., who took fourth in the state last year, MacGregor (10th in the state), Danny Honquest (ran in the state meet), Bode (ran in the state meet), Evely (ran in the state meet), along with sophomores Ethan Kern (ran in the state meet) and Klysh (part of York’s sectional lineup last year).

Newcomers to the team include seniors Morgan and Rosack, along with juniors Ryan and Johnny Sciabica.

York coach Charlie Kern Sr. has been impressed with the team’s effort in practice thus far and its support for one another. “They have improved on their self-belief,” he said. “This team believes it will be successful and encourages that belief in others.”

Kern Sr. said health and continued strong training will be a pair of keys to the season. “We need to support each other and work on improving a little more each day,” he said. “We’re looking forward to the improvement of all our runners. Those who best embody the goals of our program will cause others to see their actions.”

Kern Sr. said the Dukes would like to challenge the top teams in the WSC Silver and in the state. “We will see nationally ranked teams such as Downers Grove North and Neuqua Valley throughout the season,” he said. “Our goal is to run the best we can and if we do that, we will be competing with the best and the results will then take care of themselves.”

IC Catholic Prep boys cross country The Knights ventured to Charles-

ton to compete in the recent Charleston invitational.

Casey Kristie led IC Catholic Prep with a 57th place finish at 18:52.6.

Freshman newcomer Liam Darce ran his first 3-mile race and clocked in at 22:44.8. Sophomore Vaughan Murray was the team’s third runner at 22:48.9.

“Vaughan had the race of the day,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Jeff Fredrickson. “I compare him to the ‘Little Engine.’ During practice he always is pushing himself and at the races he is the same way. He never complains.

He believes in himself and runs.”

The Knights also competed in a quad meet at Westmont. IC Catholic Prep was shorthanded with two key runners out of the lineup.

Pat Shannon took 12th with a time of 19:19. Fabian Perez finished with a time of 22:19.

“Fabian has come a long way from his freshman year,” said Fredrickson.

“He has pushed himself in practice and it has been paying off.”

IC Catholic Prep girls cross country IC Catholic Prep returns three girls cross-country runners with seniors Julissa Unzueta and Anna Gendusa, along with junior Jaida Smith. Newcomers include freshmen Alia Johnson and Frankie Chaidez, along with sport newcomers Juanita Herrera (junior) and Peyton James (junior).

“What impresses me the most with these ladies is the culture they have installed in our first year having a team that can score as a team,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Dawn Calcagno. “The culture is one of hard work and constant improvement.

These athletes have started with minimal running experience and have made tremendous gains. They realize they are setting the foundation for many more powerful young ladies in the near future. Our goals are very simple: work hard every day, improve every day and build a culture that will allow girls to become competitors and leaders today and every day forward.”

The team captains are Smith and Unzueta. Calcagno noted Unzueta went to York boys coach Charlie Kern’s running camp in the summer.

“She put in the time to try to maximize her running capabilities,” said Calcagno.

The coach also has been impressed with freshman runner Chaidez.

“Frankie has some cross-country experience and has the potential to raise some eyebrows,” she said.

York boys soccer team records two key wins Dukes shut out foes by combined 7-0 score

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York boys soccer team took a major step forward recently.

The Dukes, after a string of tough games, roared back with non-conference wins against St. Francis and Wheaton North.

The two victories moved York to 3-3 through late last week ahead of opening West Suburban Conference Silver Division play this week.

York was a 3-0 winner over St. Francis in non-conference play. Nate Brown and Tony Lepore were among those who scored in the match.

In a 4-0 non-conference win over Wheaton North, Parker Gawne and Joe Chornij each had a goal, while Matt Artistain netted the last two goals.

“We had a stretch where we had lost three games in a row,” pointed out York coach Lukasz Majewski.

“Hopefully we are on the rebound now and coming back.”

In both wins, Sam Kritikos started in goal, while sophomore Tim Hardl played in the final 10 minutes of each game.

“We started playing a little better as a team,” said Majewski. “We had a better effort. We brought some pride to those games.”

Majewski noted York played quite well and led New Trier at one point before losing 3-2 to start the threegame skid.

“We had a 2-1 lead and they tied it and won it in the last 30 seconds,” he said. “We had a defensive collapse.

We played really well but we had a hard time picking up and marking players.”

York then lost 2-0 to Lake Park.

“We missed two penalty kicks in the fifth minute and then with 25 minutes to go in the second half with the score 0-0,” said Majewski. “Those two penalty kicks were huge. Those should have been easy. We should have made at least one. And then on the second PK the Lake Park goalie was ejected so they had to play a man down the rest of the game. We weren’t able to put the team away.

We gave up a goal on a set piece and then another one late. When you have two PKs and you are a man up with 25 minutes left and it’s 0-0, you have to win the game. It was a tough game.”

York then lost to South Elgin. “We had a complete lack of everything in that game,” said Majewski. “They scored in the first three minutes of

the game and then we gave up an own goal. It ended up 4-1.”

Majewski said he had a talk with the team after the South Elgin contest. “I asked the boys to do some soul searching after that,” he said.

“Which team were they? The team that beat Nazareth Academy and had New Trier on the ropes or the team that couldn’t finish a game against Lake Park and came out flat against South Elgin? I was proud that the kids came back and played well and were supporting each other. They responded to the challenge. They figured it out and were playing for each other.”

Majewski lauded the recent play of sophomore Joe Meade, Gawne and Chornij. “Joe (Meade) is a sophomore who is playing well,” he said. “Parker Gaughan is another sophomore playing really well.

We’ve been using him all over the place at forward and in the back.

Joe (Chornij) had a little bit of a slow start and has really picked it up and has played well the last couple games. Overall, we are getting better defensively. You can’t be disappointed that we didn’t give up any goals the last two games. We’re better defensively, but we’re still a work in progress.”

York opened conference play with Hinsdale Central earlier this week.

IC Catholic Prep boys golf team moves to 4-0 in conference Timothy Christian girls volleyball team racks up pair of wins

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The IC Catholic Prep boys golf team moved to 4-0 in conference play with a pair of recent wins.

The Knights were 168-178 winners over Riverside-Brookfield at Carriage Greens in Darien. Connon Leahy and Thomas Hilgart were co-medalists with 41s. Charlie Schoonveld shot 42 and Michael Carpanzano finished with a 44.

In a non-conference contest, IC Catholic Prep won 161-174 over Montini at Maple Meadows in Addison.

Leahy was the medalist with an even-par 36. Hilgart shot 41. Michael Hoffman and Carpanzano each had 42s.

The three wins moved the Knights to 5-1 overall.

“It was a busy week with lots of positives,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Don Sujack. “Aside from three wins, our juniors—Thomas Hilgart and Michael Carpanzano—are becoming steady contributors, which pushes everyone to perform better.

Plus, in October-like conditions all week, Connon and Charlie continue to excel and that bodes well for late-season play. I was pleased with our ability to post scores without them against Glenbard South. Michael Hoffman took over and Jake DeWitte stepped up to help fill the void. Certainly, there is a lot of room for improvement but I like our trajectory.”

Timothy Christian girls volleyball The Timothy Christian girls volleyball team downed Guerin Prep 25-9, 25-4 in Metro Suburban Conference Red Division play.

IC Catholic Prep boys soccer team making progress Tverdokhlib scores two goals against Chicago Christian

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The still young IC Catholic Prep boys soccer team continues to move forward.

The Knights, under the direction of coach Javier Andrade, recently competed in the Windy City Classic at Reavis High School in Burbank.

IC Catholic Prep lost 7-0 to host Reavis and then dropped a 4-1 decision to De La Salle before scoring

a 4-2 win over Chicago Christian.

“We were 1-1 against De La Salle at halftime,” said Andrade. “Chicago Christian beat us last year 4-2 and then we beat them 4-2 this year.

There was a lot of improvement.”

The Knights also recently played Montini and dropped a 6-1 decision. “It was 1-1 at one point,” said Andrade. “The kids played a great first half. We made a couple of mistakes on defense and that hurt us.”

In the win against Chicago Christian, Zen Tverdokhlib had two goals, while Alex Cabrera and Alex Meurer each had a goal.

Andrade noted the Knights trailed 1-0 at one point against Chicago Christian. “At halftime I told

them we had played well in the summer leagues and if we wanted to win we had to come out and play like we did in the summer,” he said.

“They came back roaring.”

Meurer had the team’s lone goals in the games against Montini and De La Salle.

IC Catholic Prep returns nine players from last year, including the likes of Cabrera, Meurer, Tim and Dan McCann, Robby Whelan and Joshua De La Cruz. Sophomores William Russ and Thomas Sloan also will contribute, as will classmates David Perez and Ryan Rasmussen. Jake Lapisa is a key newcomer for the team.

“Our strength will be in the mid-

field,” said Andrade. “They will be the strength and core.”

Tverdokhlib is the team’s goalie and had 15 saves in a recent game.

“He is a great goalie,” said Andrade.

Nico Gaudio also will see time in goal. He was in goal when Tverdokhlib shifted to the field against Chicago Christian.

“He scored on a penalty kick and scored another on a fast-ball shot,” said Andrade.

In other recent action in addition to the Montini game, IC Catholic Prep lost 3-1 to Evergreen Park, 6-1 to De La Salle and 5-1 to Aurora Central Catholic.

“All the first-half scores were

tied at 1-1 in those four games,” said Andrade. “In the first half the team played very well in those games. “ Andrade likes the direction in which the program is headed.

“As a coach, I told the kids when we started the program that it would take us three years to see where we are at,” he said.

“This is our third year and we’ve seen how much the players have improved. They are playing well.

When they play their peers in Class 1A they will be successful in a lot of games. We play a tough schedule against some bigger schools. I’m very happy with how this group has improved.”

Timothy Christian set to open new middle school and arena Grand opening tonight; classes start Monday

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

On June 27 of last year, Timothy Christian Schools held a groundbreaking ceremony for its Project IMPACT that would build a new middle school and competition arena on the current campus.

In a little more than a year, that project is about to come to completion.

Timothy Christian is holding a grand-opening event for the school and arena tonight starting at 6 p.m., which includes a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tours of the new multipurpose building, which sits between the current grade-school/middle school and high-school buildings on the Timothy campus located at Prospect Ave. and Butterfield Road.

Middle-school classes are slated to start Monday and sporting events, such as high-school girls volleyball, will follow later this month.

Timothy Christian Schools Superintendent Matt Davidson told the

Independent during a tour of the new facility last week that the project will finish a few weeks ahead of schedule and will come in about $250,000 under budget. The $16 million project is fully funded, meaning the schools will continue to operate without any debt.

“That’s the trifecta,” said Davidson.

“We’re ahead of schedule, under budget and fully funded. That’s really rare in building projects. God has moved in the hearts of his people here at Timothy Christian to give generously. This facility is second-to-none. It will provide us with an even greater platform to train, equip and inspire this generation to make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ. This building is extraordinary.”

The seventh- and eighth-grade middle school features eight classrooms and numerous spacious common spaces that can be utilized for group learning. The latest technology, such as state-of-the-art science labs and touch video screens in the classroom, will be utilized.

“This is college campus stuff. It’s unbelievable,” said Davidson.

The IC Catholic Prep football team got back in the win column in quick fashion via a 54-0 Metro Suburban Conference crossover win against Elmwood Park at Lewis Stadium at Plunkett Athletic Complex.

The win moved the Knights to 2-1 overall. IC Catholic Prep, the defending Class 3A state champion, had a 15-game winning streak snapped in Week 2 against St. Laurence.

In the win against Elmwood Park, Khalil Saunders and CJ West both saw time at quarterback in place of injured star Luke Ricobene. Saunders completed 5 of 10 passes for 81 yards and had a touchdown. West was 3 of 6 for 92 yards and also threw a touchdown.

The Knights racked up 370 rushing yards on the ground. Lazerick Eatman ran 10 times for 186 yards and scored three touchdowns. Kyle Franklin, a freshman, ran six times for 66 yards and scored a touchdown. Senior Daniel Gibbons ran

seven times for 66 yards and scored a touchdown. Saunders ran four times for 36 yards and scored a touchdown, while Kevin Cooke, a sophomore, ran two times for 16 yards. Each of the five players who gained rushing yards had long runs of more than 10 yards with Franklin (27), Eatman (43), Gibbons (23) and Saunders (27) breaking off runs of 20 or more yards.

Khali Saunders caught three passes for 110 yards and a touchdown.

He had a long catch of 79 yards.

Chicago Christian’s wins came against Chicago Noble/Bulls (28-14) and a 1-0 forfeit win over Crossroads Academy out of Big Rock.

York (0-3, 0-1) at Glenbard West (2-1) When: Saturday, 1:30 p.m.

York lost 14-7 to Addison Trail n Week 2.

IC Catholic Prep football opponents are seeing double these days.

That’s because the twin-brother duo of Khalil and Khali Saunders continue to be key contributors on both sides of the ball for the defending Class 3A state-champion Knights, who bring a 2-1 record into Friday’s Metro Suburban Conference crossover game at Chicago Christian.

Khalil Saunders plays slot receiver, is part of the IC Catholic Prep secondary and recently saw time at quarterback in place of injured standout Luke Ricobene. Khali Saunders plays outside linebacker on defense and receiver on offense.

In the team’s recent win against Elmwood Park, Khalil Saunders threw one touchdown pass and ran for another, while Khali Saunders caught three passes for 110 yards and one touchdown. He had a 79-yard grab in the game. The brothers combined to make 10 tackles on defense.

“I’ve improved much more at route running,” said Khalil Saunders, talking about his receiving duties. “I’m able to get off the ball better. I did some work with the quarterbacks in the offseason running routes. I like getting the ball in the open field and making a play.”

Khalil Saunders also has been hard at work on defense. “I’m doing a better job of keeping my hip square and not opening right away,” he said.

Khalil Saunders enjoys the hustle and bustle of playing on both sides of the ball. “I enjoy playing both ways,” he said. “Our coaches have us wellwinded through our conditioning work in summer camp. You have to be in condition to play both ways.”

Khali Saunders, who is older by one minute, has worked on improving his speed from his linebacker position. “You have multiple jobs out there,” he explained. “You can walk up as an end or play like you are a defensive back. You have to be versatile as a player. Now, I adjust to certain situations better and am better at picking up different offenses. I like playing linebacker because you get to be aggressive and you get to play the run and be the focal point of the defense.”

Khali Saunders also has put his speed to good use on offense. “I feel like I can spread out the defense as a vertical threat,” he said. “If I have the ball I

• Arena

want to make people miss me. By doing well on offense, I’m helping take pressure off other guys on offense.”

And not many brothers get the opportunity to play on the same team.

“Playing with my brother always has been fun,” said Khalil Saunders. “I’ve been playing with him for a long time. It’s a good time. We look at each other and smile and compete every day. I know what he is going to do before he does it and he’s the same way with me.”

Khali Saunders added: “Sometimes we can get pretty competitive in practice and that carries over.

Our mom has to hear about it. Not many people get the opportunity to play with their brother. There will come a day when that’s going to stop. We have to make sure we keep it fun while it lasts. I don’t take it for granted. I love every minute playing with him.”

The brothers noted they also don’t take playing in the IC Catholic Prep program lightly.

“The IC football program is very strong,” Khalil Saunders said. “The tradition is strong and the coaching staff is great and has a lot of experience.

Playing at IC has made me the player and man I am.

This program builds you as a player, a teammate and a man.”

Khali Saunders added: “We have the opportunity to play with great players and be coached by great coaches. We have the opportunity to be coached by Matt Bowen (former NFL player and a member of the ICCP coaching staff). We have other coaches who have played in the program. We want to keep the tradition going because it’s so special. We want to keep things moving in the right direction.”

The brothers also know the team can’t rest on its laurels this year.

“We’re taking it game by game,” said Khalil Saunders. “Hopefully we will have a strong season just like we did last year.”

Khali Saunders said there is plenty to prove this fall. “We look at it as we have to work to become state champions,” he said. “We can’t defend something we don’t have yet. We have to focus on us. The coaches put us in a position to win games.

We have the game plan and if everybody does their job we are going to be fine. If we do our jobs it takes pressure off everybody because everybody is contributing. We are going to keep going out there and work hard every week.”

“In my weaker moments, I sometimes wonder if we are in over our heads,” Davidson wrote to a trusted friend in July 2015 (as the project was starting to gain momentum) and recalled in the internal memo. “I confess I have experienced fear, doubt and worry at various times throughout the project.

On occasion they have perched heavily on my shoulders. As the leader of our school, I’m probably not supposed to share that with you. However, it is important that I vulnerably share this so it is loud and clear that God has once again demonstrated his power in our weakness. There is no compelling evidence that this project could have been accomplished apart from God, absolutely no other explanation would hold up under scrutiny.”

And come Monday, the school’s expansion vision will become reality.

“This project has been a great success. It started as a blurry vision a few years ago and it’s exciting to see this dream become a reality,” said Davidson.

York boys golf team misses winning Fenton invite by one stroke Dukes post 149 team score at Oak Park Country Club

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York boys golf team is off to a rousing start.

The Dukes recently placed third out of 25 teams at the Fenton invitational with a season-low 18-hole tournament score of 306. York missed winning the tournament by one stroke and had to settle for third place on a fifth-score tiebreaker.

Josh LaBounty shot a 72 to finish fourth individually at Fenton. He was 2-over par. Aidan Mann added a 76 while Casey O’Malley had a 78. Matt Buckley shot 80 and Jake Brown finished with an 83.

In other recent tournament play, York was fifth out of 22 teams at the Limestone invitational near Peoria with a 309 team score. LaBounty shot 74, while Buckley shot 75. Brown posted a 78 and Mann shot 82.

York also was sixth out of 15 teams at the Warren invitational with a 324.

Buckley led the way with a 78. Sam Bartolone shot 81, as did Mann.

Brown, Blair Faber, O’Malley and LaBounty all shot 84s.

In recent dual-match play, York was a 157-229 winner over Proviso West in West Suburban Conference Silver Division play. Faber and O’Malley each shot 38. Ryan Costello finished with a 40. Bartolone had a 43 and Mason Lampa shot 41.

York also downed Downers Grove

North 147-160 in conference play.

Buckley shot even-par 35, while LaBounty and Jacob Wit each shot 37s. Mann shot 38 and Brown posted a 39.

The Dukes moved to 3-0 in conference action with a 149-167 win over Oak Park-River Forest. Mann led the way with an even-par 36 at Oak Park Country Club. LaBounty added a 37.

Buckley and Brown each shot 38 and Wit had a 39. York was 4-1 overall after the Oak Park win.

On the season, York was averaging 155.38 for nine holes with LaBounty leading the way with a 38.1 average.

Buckley was at 38.8, while Mann was at 39.1.

O’Malley was at 40.1 and Brown was at 40.5.

“We had a very good week,” said York coach Jim Borel. “We almost won the Fenton invite, beat a very strong Downers Grove North team by 13 strokes, shooting a 147 on our home course. We shot 5-over par for a 149 from the back tees at Oak Park Country Club. Our kids are playing well, working hard and shooting scores good enough to beat most teams in the state. It’s a great group of kids and we are excited about the next few weeks.”

York faced off against Lyons Township earlier this week in a key WSC Silver match at home.

York girls golf The York girls golf team dropped a 185-191 West Suburban Conference Silver Division decision to Glenbard West at Glendale Lakes recently.

Metro Suburban Conference to welcome new teams next school year

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Metro Suburban Conference, of which IC Catholic Prep and Timothy Christian belong, will have a new look to it next school year.

The MSC is saying goodbye to Glenbard South, Walther Lutheran and Illiana Christian, while welcoming Wheaton St. Francis, Bishop McNamara out of Kankakee, Aurora Christian and all-girls school Rosary for girls’ sports only.

St. Francis, McNamara and Aurora Christian are currently part of the Chicago Catholic League, while St. Francis, McNamara and Rosary compete in girls sports as members of the Girls Catholic

Athletic Conference.

Those new schools joins existing MSC members Timothy, IC Catholic Prep, Ridgewood, Elmwood Park, Guerin Prep, Elgin St. Edward, Riverside-Brookfield, Chicago Christian, Fenton, Wheaton Academy and Aurora Central Catholic.

Timothy Christian athletic director Jack LeGrand, the MSC president, noted Glenbard South is headed to the Upstate Eight Conference, while Illiana is building a new facility in Indiana and will no longer be part of the Illinois High School Association.

LeGrand said he thought Walther Christian was headed to a new home for football and another for the rest of its sports.

“We’re very excited to have these new schools of similar size and vision,” he said.

“For a lot of the schools we have a very good relationship with these new schools.

We’ve played many of them and are excited to play them more often. These new schools

were a very good fit for the conference.

The Metro will have some good equality and some good teams. It’s going to be a fun time. There will be some good, competitive rivalries. We’re excited to develop some of these new relationships, such as Bishop McNamara.”

LeGrand said details on how the conference would be aligned are still being hammered out. “We’re still working on some details,” he said. “I would think we’d have two divisions like we do now.

We’re talking about playing a year and then revisiting everything and possibly move schools back and forth by sport. It should be a very competitive conference with good competition.”

LeGrand said conference alignment will be determined by such elements as success factor and geography.

“We think we have really good schools with well-rounded programs,” he said. “We

We still have some details to work out with this.”

LeGrand noted Timothy plans on still keeping in touch with the departing schools.

“If it works for both schedules we would like to still play those schools,” he said.

“Timothy has a long history with Illiana and we’d like to still play Glenbard and Walther.”

LeGrand said the conference isn’t closing the door on possible expansion down the road.

“Like every conference in the state we will keep our eyes and ears open,” he said.

“We’re very excited about what we have in place with football and our other sports. But you have to constantly be aware of different conferences and schools moving around.

Our hope is to have stability in the Metro Suburban going forward.”

FINALLY a way to fix the PAIN of a Are you suffering from back pain, arm or leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in your arms or legs? Then it’s likely you’re suffering from a Bulging DISC. That’s when one of your spinal discs is bulging and causing these, sometimes severe, symptoms because of the effect it’s having on your nerve system.

You may have already had this diagnosed on an MRI and thought that there is little that can be done about it and that’s a major problem: bad information, because in the right hands a lot can be done for you.

To end the misery caused by Bulging DISCS you must have the right information. Pay close attention because I’m going to destroy some important myths and give you the facts.

MYTH: Bulging DISC problems will just “go away” with some rest.

FACT: If you are dealing with back pain, buttock pain or leg pain, then you must seek help from a Bulging DISC specialist immediately. Left untreated, the problem can lead to permanent nerve damage - and lifelong pain.

MYTH: Pain is the only problem associated with Bulging DISC problems.

FACT: In severe cases, this problem can lead to the inability to control your bowels, bladder and sexual potency - leading to embarrassing situations.

MYTH: You must take pain medications to deal with Bulging DISCs. FACT: Drugs like muscle relaxants, pain killers, narcotics, antidepressants, and antiseizure medications have serious potential sideeffects and do not cure Bulging DISCs. MYTH: “I must have done something wrong to damage my DISC.” FACT: Physical work or simply sitting at a desk for long periods can lead to Bulging DISCs. Accidents and trauma can also be the culprits. Pregnancy can cause damage. DISC Bulges can happen to anyone - including superfit celebrities like Tiger Woods, Sylvester Stallone, and British Olympic medallist Ian Wynne.

MYTH: Stop exercising and get several weeks of bed rest to let the Bulging DISC recover...

FACT: Staying active can help to relieve the pain and prevent the pain getting worse. Staying inactive in bed could be the worst advice -based on a recent study in the Netherlands.

MYTH: DISC Bulges or herniations require surgery.

FACT: NO! There’s been a huge

breakthrough in the treatment of Bulging DISCs. It’s a new procedure called NonSurgical Re-Constructive Spinal Care. The excellent results from this treatment have been published in major medical journals.

Success rates are up to 88%.

MYTH: “There’s nothing anyone can really do. I’m just stuck with this for the rest of my life.”

FACT: With the correct treatment from a healthcare professional who specialises in Bulging DISCs, you can find relief from the core cause - and the symptoms.

MYTH: Getting a Bulging DISC properly diagnosed is expensive.

FACT: Not true. Tree of Life Chiropractic Center is currently offering an initial consultation for Just $43.

Tree of Life Chiropractic Center is one of the nations leading Bulging DISC centers.

The team of fully-trained friendly staff have helped over 1,483 patients find relief from agonising Bulging DISCs. It’s one of the first places in the USA to use Non-Surgical ReConstructive Spinal Care.

This procedure does not require a hospital stay and in most cases you’ll be able to continue with your normal daily activities with little interruption. The focus is on finding - and correcting - the original cause of the Bulged DISC. According to Tree of Life, “We use a combination of ultra-advanced technology, not found elsewhere in the region, for precisely diagnosing the cause of your Bulging DISC. This means superior long-term results for most people.”

88% of People Find Relief from the Pain and Associated Symptoms...

Because the treatment is non-surgical, safe, and easy, most patients report relief from their pain and associated symptoms early in the process.

Patient Jeff P. from Elmhurst wrote, “My back pain was unbearable but the worst thing was the searing burning pain I felt in my buttock and leg... my wife insisted I go to Tree of Life. I’m 95% better in just a couple of weeks.”

Forest Preserve District seeks public feedback Plans community meetings to get input on five-year master plan

The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County invites residents to contribute to a new five-year development plan by sharing their thoughts on natural areas and educational and recreational programs at the county’s 62 forest preserves at six upcoming community meetings.

The meeting closest to readers of the Independent will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 26 from 7 – 8:30 p.m. at Mayslake Peabody Estate, 1717 W. 31st St., Oak Brook In addition, the Forest Preserve District is sending surveys to randomly selected DuPage County households via U.S. mail or email and collecting opinions online. Details and updates will be posted at dupageforest.org/master-plan.

“These preserves are yours and should reflect the type of nature programs and recreational activities you’re interested in,” said Forest Preserve District of DuPage County President Joe Cantore. “This is your chance to share your vision with us.”

Why do people collect things?

Or is just me?

Why do people collect things?

Not everyone has the collector gene. Or maybe we all do and for some it stays dormant. Mine gets squashed down but pops back up from time to time. Right now, it’s salt and pepper shakers.

I have gotten rid of plenty over the years (oh the regret!) and there was a time I was on a mighty quest to find the perfect shakers that looked pretty and also did not dump a mountain of salt when you gave a slight shake. That was being practical, not a collector. Having something useful and beautiful is always the name of my game, but having several sets of various salt and pepper shakers just because they are cute makes no sense. Collections make no sense.

But then again neither does love.

In my past lives, my collections have included bells, miniature tea sets. covered bridges, and Donny Osmond posters. But I am long past being a schoolgirl and the desire for a conglomeration of things seems silly to me. Yet I cannot resist.

The collection of salt and peppers will not grow too large. Cross my heart. (If you know of any heart shaped shakers, let me know!) The recent foxes that I just bought I got because the prior owner of our new home said a family of foxes lived in the back corner of the trees and some cubs were born in the spring. That thrills me. Having a memento of foxes is an appropriate house-warming gift to myself.

The pumpkins are simply seasonal. The love birds are simply adorable. The little blue houses I got in Amsterdam several years ago and they make me reflective, and appreciative. And all the little bitty ones that I have swiped from hotel room service are fun and doesn’t every guest to my home deserve a tiny shaker at their individual place setting? It seems polite and almost proper Victorian. (Don’t get me started on those little salt bowls that they used! I could amass a new collection of salt cellars.)

Women are not the only collectors. Collecting is an equal opportunity hobby. Beer can collections.

Ball caps. Farming tools. The connection to history makes sense and I see why we collect Depression glass or antique china, but beer cans? Or Coca-Cola memorabilia

By

KELLY SIMMONS Columnist

or anything really - WHY do we feel the desire to have groups of things sitting around our homes?

Some people collect for the possible monetary value of their items but I think most of us collect simply because we are drawn to something. There is no explanation. Not for me anyway. I love to decorate and I like pretty things.

What about you? Do you collect? What entices you? Do you have any clue why you find the items so appealing? In the end, it doesn’t really matter. As long as your collecting does not cross over into hoarding, there is no reason to be concerned.

Why do I have collections? Because I like them, the reason of pure delight is enough. If I get enjoyment when I look at my pretty things, so be it. Is that shallow? I don’t think so. Decorating is an individual choice and to make a home warm and welcoming is my goal. I don’t have curio cabinets anymore just to house my stuff. My “things” are much fewer and yet I still enjoy something whose only purpose is beauty. And when you think about it, there is no grander purpose than that.

Kelly Epperson welcomes your comments about your collections.

What do you collect and why?

Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra begins 57th season

Be prepared for a season of spectacular music-making when the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Music Director and Conductor Stephen Alltop, begins its 57th year of musical adventures on Saturday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m., at Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church with a concert of music.

“Mozart and Beethoven Gems” begins with Mozart’s Overture to La finta giardiniera, followed by featured guest artist Elizandro Garcia-Montoya in a brilliant performance of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto in A Major. Rounding out the program is Beethoven’s well-loved Symphony No. 6 in F Major (Pastoral).

This concert, in memory of ESO board member Edgar Swarthout, is sponsored by a generous gift from Ray and Sally Allen. Jane and Richard Kiep are generous underwriters of the Mozart Overture.

A pre-concert Oktoberfest fundraising dinner celebrates the opening of the ESO’s season. From 5:15 p.m., to 6:30 p.m., concertgoers can enjoy grilled bratwurst and roast pork loin accompanied by traditional German side dishes. Tickets are $30 per person.
