Federal official scheduled at Sept 29th City Council meeting Flight pattern changes over Elmhurst to be clarified

with airport issues for several years.

Mayor Steve Morley said the October opening of a runway is the most significant recent

“[Federal Officials] can tell us all they want, but the proof will be when they open the runway. We believe it is good news for Elmhurst. I will believe it when I see it.”

ELMHURST — The regional director of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is tentatively scheduled to come to Elmhurst City Hall on September 29 at 7 p.m. to answer questions from residents and City officials about a new runway set to open in October at O’Hare Airport and to discuss other changes coming over the next ten years.

Alderman Bob Dunn (2nd Ward), who attended one of the recent open house events about O’Hare Airport activity, made the report at the September 8th meeting of City Council.

Also, at the September 8th meeting of City Council, aldermen voted to provide $5,000 to the Suburban O’Hare Commission (SOC), a group of suburban municipalities who attempt to monitor and hold accountable those who are advancing the cause for growth at the airport.

Mark Mulliner (7th Ward) said spending the money was necessary so Elmhurst could have “a seat at the table.”

“We have been a member of the Commission for a long time,” he said. “It is important to continue.”

The Commission includes representatives from Bensenville, Addison, Elk Grove Village, Itasca, Bloomingdale, Roselle, Wood Dale, Schiller Park and DuPage County. The Commission has been involved

Imagination Playground comes to Rock The Block party

On Saturday, September 12, downtown Elmhurst was all a-buzz with the sights and sounds of Elmhurst City Centre’s Rock The Block party, which featured kids activities in the “Family Fun Zone,” pictured here. If you happened to enter the party from the south end of York St., it’s doubtful you ever got past this “Imagination Playground” over which kids went wild, spending long periods of time building things with all kinds of blocks and ramps, some which resembled Tinker Toys. Rock The Block was a celebration of the end of summer and back-to-school days. More photos inside this issue.

host ‘Kartwheels for Kids’ fundraiser

By Jean Lawrence For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — A group of energetic Bryan Middle School girls recently banded together to host their second fundraiser to benefit the hungry.

Maryalice Shockey, Grace Maniola, Martha Miklyukh, Lola Odorisio, and Katelyn Leonard have been gymnastics friends for many years, in some cases going back to preschool.

So when they decided to organize a fundraiser, gymnastics was a natural theme.

“We called it Kartwheels for Kids because cartwheels are a basic gymnastics skill and we wanted to help hungry kids,” said Maryalice, a Bryan sixth grader.

The event included many sports-themed stations, such as Score For More (soccer), Shoes To Share (basketball), Cartwheels For Cures (cartwheeling), Putt For People (mini golf), Handstands For Hunger and Balance For Boys and Girls (balance beam). Event attendees paid a $10 registration fee and had the option to make additional donations, pay for the Dunk To Donate dunk tank, buy raffle tickets, and patronize the lemonade stand and bake sale.

Seventh grader Grace agreed.

“Maryalice talked about doing a fundraiser and asked us if we were interested,” she said.

“All of us went to get donations for raffle prizes and planned the lemonade stand and I baked cookies with my sister. I really liked the event and seeing more than 100 people there. It was fun working the stations.”

The girls raised an impressive $2,000* and choose the Elmhurst Yorkfield Food Pantry as their beneficiary. Last year, the group raised about $900 and donated it to Feed My Starving Children.

Their mission of raising money to feed the hungry goes back to the girls’ studies at Lincoln Elementary School.

“When we were in third grade we read a book at school called ‘Yellow Star,’” Maryalice said. “It was about a lady named Sylvia Rozines and how she survived the Lodz Ghetto in Poland when she was a girl.

“I asked my mom for a long time if I could go to Washington, D.C., to meet Sylvia and so, for my Christmas present in fourth grade, I got to take a trip there with my mom and brother and sister.

“My mom got in touch with the author of the book and got

This young boy tries out the beam at Balance for Boys and Girls, just one of the activities at the Kartwheels for Kids fundraiser held recently for the Elmhurst-Yorkfield Food Pantry. A group of five Bryan Middle School girls hosted the event and organized the games, raising more than $2500.

Sylvia’s number and we met her at a Panera and got to ask her a lot of questions. Then I really wanted to go back and see her again so I got to do that in June and that was my fifth grade Christmas present.”

Sylvia was one of only 12 children to survive the Lodz Ghetto during the Nazi occupation of Poland during World

War II. “I admire her because she’s older and she has the courage to tell her story,” Maryalice continued. “I learned about how she was very hungry as a girl in the ghetto. She had to live underground so the Nazis wouldn’t find her.

“I wanted to raise money because I don’t want other kids

to go hungry like she did.”

After last year’s fundraiser, the girls were honored with a Volunteer Service Award given by the Elmhurst Youth Commission during a ceremony held at Sandburg Middle School.

“The mayor was there and we each got a certificate and

Chamber issues endorsement of video gaming To support affected members, asks City to move ahead to legalize

By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

In a communiqué dated September 8, Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry President & CEO John R. Quigley advised the Public Affairs & Safety Committee of the Elmhurst City Council that the Board of Directors had approved a Governmental Affairs Committee recommendation for the Chamber to support video gaming in the City of Elmhurst. Quigley attended the PAS Committee meeting held at City Hall on Monday, September 14.

The Chamber Board released a memorandum stating its endorsement for the City to opt into the State’s Video Gaming Act of 2009 and cited the following reasons: Video gaming communities have a competitive advantage over Elmhurst

Family-owned restaurants and bars, and fraternal organizations numbering in the double digits report, through their owners and representatives, that Elmhurst residents who are patrons of their establishments are driving a short distance across the city limits to video game in Oakbrook Terrace, Bensenville, Villa Park, Hillside and other municipalities.

July’s report from the Illinois Gaming Board shows that Fitz’s Irish Bulldog in Villa Park, owned and operated by the same family that runs Fitz’s Pub and Fitz’s Spare Keys in downtown Elmhurst, received 35% of its Net Terminal Income (Funds In minus Funds Out) of $30K, or $10.5K. There is a corresponding increase in food and beverage sales at that location as well.

The Illinois Gaming Board’s July report for the 5% municipal share of NTI from terminal-licensed establishments generated $20.5K for the Village of Villa Park (17 loca-

tions), $17.1K for the Village of Addison (14 locations), $10.6K for the Village of Oakbrook Terrace (eight locations) and $1.5K for the Village of Bensenville (three locations).”

Common across County, other communities According to the Illinois Gaming Board website, 16 of 33 municipalities in DuPage County allow video gaming.

Seven of eight communities bordering Elmhurst participate in video gaming, both in DuPage and Cook counties.

State-regulated gaming— including the Illinois lottery (at numerous locations), pull tabs (at the American Legion) and bingo (by churches and fraternal organizations)—is common in Elmhurst.”

Video gaming is ancillary entertainment “Video gaming is entertainment of an ancillary nature for patrons, not unlike bowling lanes or machines, dart boards, shuffle board tables, golden tee video golfing, jukeboxes, etc.”

PARK BOARD NEWS…

ELMHURST — The Elmhurst Park District Board held a regular meeting on Sept. 9 at the district’s administrative office at 375 W. First Street.

Commissioner Patricia Morissette-Moll was absent from the meeting, which lasted less than 90 minutes. There were no comments from residents during the public participation segment of the meeting.

Intergovernmental agreement remains on table Elmhurst Park District Executive Director Jim Rogers and members of the park district board discussed continuing negotiations regarding plans to construct storm water detention basins on park property. The park district has granted the city permission to construct basins at York Commons and Golden Meadows.

Representatives from the city are negotiating with the park district to reach an agreement that would allow basins at East End Park, Wild Meadows Trace and Crestview Park.

The park district and city are negotiating to create a master intergovernmental agreement (IGA) to allow the city to build the basins. Rogers reiterated that the agreement would include an addendum specific to the characteristics of each park property.

Rogers said at the Sept. 9 meeting that the city had sent a revised proposal to the park district earlier in the day. He said the district’s legal representatives would review the proposal. The city sent a draft of an IGA to the park district earlier this summer. The district responded to that draft on Aug. 25.

Commissioner Vince Spaeth said that the district wants to work with the city to reach an agreement to allow some form of detention at sites beyond York Commons and Golden Meadows. He added that the district spent a lot of time vetting out options at York Commons and Golden Meadows before granting permission for basins at those two park sites. He said the district needs to proceed in a similar fashion before allowing the construction of basins at other sites. Rogers added that the park district cannot agree to allow storm water detention at a particular site until the park district board has fully vetted a proposal for that site.

He said the district has only recently vetted the options for a storm water facility at Crestview Park.

Commissioner Kevin Graf said the park district has been willing to work with the city and spend a large portion of time on the issue of storm water detention at park sites. He said the district is committed to examining the city’s proposals for storm basins at East End Park, Wild Meadows Trace and Crestview Park. Graf asked if the negotiations to create an IGA including those sites would cause a delay in the construction of storm water detention at York Commons and Golden Meadows. Rogers said the district could propose language in its negotiations with the city that would propose implementation of the basins at York Commons and Golden Meadows and consideration of the basins at the other sites.

Board members voted unanimously to award a window replacement project at The Abbey to Integrity Designs of Westmont in the amount of about $21,700. Integrity Designs was the lowest of three bidders for the project, which calls for the removal and replacement of all 10 existing exterior windows at The Abbey, which is located at 407 St. Charles Road.

The project also calls for the replacement of four smaller double-hung windows.

According to information provided by the park district, most of the current windows have become warped and wedged in place. The framing of those windows has reportedly deteriorated, which has led to leaks. The replacement windows are fiberglass framed to reduce maintenance. They also contain low E-glass to improve energy efficiency.

The replacement picture windows will reportedly allow more natural light to enter the building. The project to replace the windows is scheduled to take place Oct. 28-30.

An exterior tuck-pointing project at The Abbey was completed in July.

During the staff announcements portion of the meeting, the district’s director of parks and recreation Angela Ferrentino noted that the project to install a new playground at East End Park is about 75 percent completed and still on target for the scheduled completion date of Oct. 17.

The park district board will hold its next regular meeting on Sept. 23.

The team had a cumulative GPA of 3.88 for the 2014-15 school year.

“We take great pride in our student athletes getting it done in the classroom and on the court,” said ICCP Head Coach Nancy D’Amore.

A complainant told police she noticed the suspect, described as a black male, bald in his 40s, around 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds, wearing a black T-shirt and sandals, walking back and forth, staring at her. When she was sitting and typing at a computer, she told police she felt something touch her feet and immediately turned around to find the suspect behind her.

Sept. 8 A victim in the 800 block of N. Indiana told police that she received a call from her bank, notifying her of suspicious charges to her checking account. The victim stated that she had used the debit machine at the Millennium Park’s parking garage to make a payment, and the following day, her bank statement showed approximately $511 of unauthorized charges.

Sept. 5 Irving Toledo-Bahina, 19, of Berwyn, was arrested at a local store in the 300 block of S. Route 83 at around 5:41 p.m. The store’s security reported detaining the suspect after he allegedly attempted to leave the store with two

tie clips, valued at $23.84, without paying for the merchandise. Toledo-Bahina was charged with retail theft.

There are still some things that make my heart go aflutter

I

thought I was past the point of caring about material things. Sure, I like nice stuff, but I don’t need status cars (me of the smart and SOUL) and I don’t need four-hundred-dollar handbags.

I buy purses, shoes, and clothes because they fit my body, my style, and my functional needs.

I currently sport a floral canvas backpack bought at WalMart for convenience when traveling.

As much as I like to think I am too cool to care about trends, I was happily surprised when I got compliments on my backpack from ladies of all ages. From the older and wiser crowd, to the college age hippie chicks, they dig my bag. I dig that they dig it.

When I’m shopping, brand is not my motivator. Sometimes I

Columnist don’t buy something that may have worked because it’s plastered with a logo that I don’t find pretty. (For one, Coach.)

(There goes my endorsement deal.)

I like things that are different. (Perhaps why I like my hubby so much.)

I’m smug enough (and old enough) to think I’m beyond peer pressure to be in the cool kid’s club. I have my own eclectic style that I think is fashionable, but when I’m in a city like New York or certain

spots in Chicago, my chic has a distinct middle-aged Midwestern flair. And I don’t feel so sophisticated.

Yet, if I look down my nose at the gals who need the latest and greatest fashion, who really is the snooty one?

So I glance with appreciation at the high-priced dressed to the nines put together pristine pretty ladies. And I am content with my five-dollar Frozen sunglasses. Yes, I bought them in the kids’ department but they fit my face better than most adult sunglasses. And they have swirlies and sparklies.

To each her own, and live and let shop wherever she pleaseth.

I know that I too love the appreciative glances directed my way. Be it my red French cowboy boots (they’re American but I bought them in France

so that makes them cooler. And I say I don’t care about cool?), or some funky jewelry, or a newsprint dress made in Paris bought in New York on 5th Avenue (I so don’t care about status, do I?), I love getting comments. (That newsprint dress has started many great conversations. When people find out I’m a writer, they love it even more.)

This weekend, it was obvious that I still have love for material things. We got to joy ride for a couple days in a 1980 Mercedes convertible. The body style is old school elegant and the powder blue color is gorgeous. It’s classy, fun, and not the run of the mill convertible on the road.

Men and women of all ages gave us smiles that said “cool car” and some even voiced, “I

want that fun car.” Yep, me too, I want that fun car. It’s pretty and fits my body, my style, and my functional needs. If it happens to be a status brand, I guess I could get used to that.

In many ways, I am not a material girl. I have pared down our home, for the most part, to be only what we find beautiful or useful. But if there are still some things that make my heart go aflutter, that’s okay. I like an eclectic mix. So next time you see someone in a lovely status car, she just might be wearing five-dollar sunglasses. Give her an appreciative wave. I know she’ll give you the thumbs up and maybe even offer you a ride.

The times they are a-changin’ – or they should be…

T

here has been so much in the news lately about difficulties between the police and those they serve and protect, as well as those they arrest and prosecute. On a recent news show, after reporting on an incident, it was mentioned that “the time period between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. can be the toughest on law enforcement, because so many children are roaming loose without adult supervision.”

Does anyone recall why schools typically dismiss at 3:30 p.m.? Or am I the only one who remembers, since I was raised in an Iowa farming community. It’s because school children who lived on farms had to get home by 4 p.m. to do chores. Running a farm was like any other family business, everyone pitches in along the way, including the kids. Everyone had their job.

Isn’t it about time to re-think the hours our families try to keep? Are there any students at Elmhurst schools who even know what farm chores are?

We “townies,” as we were called, didn’t have farm chores, we helped around the house; do Elmhurst students have other tasks to do at home to assist their parents and family? (I can hear you laughing.)

So, why are we still send-

Wouldn’t it be easier if everybody in the family piled into the car all together every morning; then the kids could be dropped at school, while Mom & Dad head to work. Then afterwards, they repeat the same actions in reverse at about 4 or 4:30, maybe even 5 p.m. Talking about the day could take place in the car, while the family is all confined to that little cube -- the car’s interior. Also decisions could be made right then and there about dinner, where

Local family seeks help for baby with rare affliction Event on Sept. 20 to raise money, awareness of mitochondrial disease

By Dee Longfellow For The Independent

While her story is heartbreaking, there is hope on the horizon for Audrey Price, who lives in Villa Park with her parents Sarah and Fred Price.

Last week, the Independent conversed with her grandmother, Linda Przybylski, who lives in Elmhurst where Sarah, Audrey’s mother, grew up.

“Our granddaughter, Audrey who is 22 months old, has a rare disease,” she said. “She was hospitalized at 16 months and diagnosed in July of this year with mitochondrial disease.”

September happens to be

Mitochondrial Awareness month and the Chicago Walk Committee with UMDF is planning the 6th Annual Energy For Life: Chicago Walkathon on Sunday, September 20 at Katherine Legge Memorial Park, 5901 County Line Road, in Hinsdale. The event is to raise funds as well as knowledge of the condition so more people can step forward and help out. The Walk steps off at 10 a.m. To learn more about it, visit energyforlifewalk.org There is already a team set up known as “Audrey’s Crusaders,” which will be taking part in the WalkAThon and has already raised $5550 just since September 2 in Audrey’s name.

There is an account set up to accept donations at gofundme. com/AngelsforAudrey.

the City cannot receive noise reduction funds because the level has to be 65 decibels or higher to qualify. One of the consultants hired by the City is looking into the possibility of reducing the requirement to 55 decibels. Grabowski said the consultant is considering a host of ideas about minimizing noise.

Grabowski also noted that the City of Chicago has not always been forthright about some airport information, so a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request has been filed.

“We are participating in the United Mitochondrial Energy for Life Walkathon because … Audrey was recently diagnosed and has been hospitalized with a mitochondrial genetic mutation MT-ND6,” Linda said. “Audrey has difficulty eating, sitting and speaking. The name Audrey means ‘noble strength,’ which is what is necessary for Audrey to get through her daily life.”

More about Mitochondrial disease…

Mitochondrial diseases result from failures of the mitochondria, specialized compartments present in every cell of the body except red blood cells.

Mitochondria are responsible for creating more than 90% of the energy needed by the body to sustain life and support growth. When they fail, less and less energy is generated within the cell. Cell injury and even cell death follow. If this process is repeated throughout the body, whole systems begin to fail, and the life of the person is severely compromised. The disease primarily affects children, but adult onset is becoming more and more common.

Depending on which cells are affected, diseases of the mitochondria cause the most damage to cells of the brain, heart, liver, skeletal muscles, kidney and the endocrine and respiratory systems.

There is a WalkAThon to raise money and awareness of the condition throughout Chicago and Audrey’s family and friends have a team called “Audrey’s Crusaders” which will be taking part.

More about the UMDF… Founded in 1996, the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation was developed as the result of a merger of several smaller foundations established by those who lost loved ones to the disease. Its mission is to promote research and education for the diag-

nosis, treatment and cure of mitochondrial disorders and to provide support to affected individuals and families.

To date, UMDF has provided more than $13 million in grants to support research that may lead to less invasive diagnoses, better treatments, and ultimately, a cure.

The day will feature musical performances by local schoolchildren and an opportunity to meet the school marm in the restored Churchville Schoolhouse, a National Register of Historic

Places property built circa 1846.

The scheduled Fall Open House activities include: Participate in class time with the school marm inside the Schoolhouse.

Churchville Schoolhouse is located just north of Elmhurst at 3N784 Church Road (north of Grand Ave.) in Bensenville.

Admission is free and parking will be available in the church parking lots on the east side of Church Road.

History of the Churchville Schoolhouse The Churchville Schoolhouse is one of the oldest structures in DuPage County as well as one of the few remaining one-room schoolhouses in the state of Illinois still standing on its original site. Listed in the National Reg-

ister of Historic Places since 1999, it is a well-preserved example of typical mid-1800s rural schoolhouses built by local farmers and craftsmen.

The Schoolhouse sits on property which was once part of the August Fischer family farm which was deeded to Addison Township around 1846.

Children from the towns now known as Elmhurst, Bensenville, and Addison attended the school until 1930. The Schoolhouse was managed by Elmhurst School District 205 from 1988 to 2001, and was used to teach history lessons to students. The City of Elmhurst took ownership in 2001, and an extensive renovation took

place in cooperation with the town of Bensenville. The restoration was completed in 2010, and the Elmhurst Historical Museum staff, with the support of the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation, presents hands-on educational history programs to school children, scouts troops, and adult groups by appointment.

School is back in session Head back to school at the Churchville Schoolhouse during the Fall Open House on September 26. For more information, call the Elmhurst Historical Museum at 630-8331457 or go to elmhursthistory. org

DiCianni officially announces run for Illinois 8th District Makes it part of 3rd annual Talkie Trot for CSLD

By Dee Longfellow

For The Independent On Sunday, Sept. 13 just before the 3rd annual “Talkie Trot” to support the Center for Speech and Language Disorders (CSLD), Pete DiCianni, County Board member (Dist. 2) and former Mayor of Elmhurst, announced his intentions to seek the seat in the U.S. House of Representatives representing Illinois’ 8th District as a Republican. The seat was vacated when Tammy Duckworth decided to run for U.S. Senate and give up her Congressional seat.

Surrounded by elected officials, the music blasted the theme from the movie Rocky (Gonna Fly Now) as DiCianni took the stage to make his announcement. It took place at York & South Streets in Elmhurst, near the Knights of Columbus Hall.

Pete and his wife Rose took the initiative eight years ago to raise awareness and financial support for families with autism and other disabilities that effect communication. Their daughter Brianna was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and had difficulty mostly with her speech, which was helped exponentially by the CSLD.

In addition to serving on the ing to the Center for Disease DuPage County Board, DiCi- Controls,” he said. “Autism is anni currently serves as chair- now diagnosed in one in every man of the Illinois Autism 50 children born today and is Task Force, serving under two outpacing all other children’s governors. DiCianni led the conditions, including pediatric charge to make sure autism AIDS, pediatric cancer, juvewas covered by insurance carriers in Illinois. Back in 2008, they learned their insurance did not cover Brianna’s diagnosis and treatment. Long story short, Brianna’s Law is now law in Illinois as well as in 38 other states.

DiCianni also served as Mayor of the City of Elmhurst, his hometown. He has championed bi-partisan legislation affecting healthcare access for children with disabilities, public safety, education and the elderly. A group of young people rdtook

What everyone should know about screening for common cancers screenings and are unaware of the harms associated with them,” says Dr. Wayne J. Riley, President of the American College of Physicians (ACP), the largest medical specialty organization and the second-largest physician group in the United States.

In a recent paper published in Annals of Internal Medicine, the ACP issued advice for screening average-risk adults without symptoms for breast cancer,

cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer and prostate cancer.

“Smarter screening does not just mean more of it. High value care involves letting patients know

about both the benefits and harms of screening, and encourages them to get screened at the right time, at the right interval and with the right test,” says Riley.

Harms of screening include a high rate of false positives and over-diagnosis, leading to the need for more unnecessary testing, anxiety, and overtreatment of

(StatePoint) Screening for common cancers is widely promoted by many health advocates. However, for adults at average-risk without symptoms, it’s important to be strategic about such testing, according to experts, who say that too much screening can be harmful and provide little benefit.

conditions that will never lead to health problems.

Evidence shows that some people have continued psychological effects, such as anxiety, problems sleeping, and intrusive thoughts months after a false positive.

Because false positives are so common, the number of people who have these problems is very large, much larger than the number of people who are helped by low value screening.

The ACP’s High Value Care initiative encourages physicians to implement a health care strategy that focuses on tests or treatments that improve health, avoid harms and eliminate wasteful practices.

To learn more about your risk for common cancers and what tests are right for you, visit https://hvc. acponline.org/.

Shared decision making is important when deciding on any kind of screening. Discuss your goals, values, and preferences with your own health care provider before requesting or rejecting a cancer test.

“Although screening leads to important benefits for some cancers and some people, it can also lead to significant harms to many more people than those receiving benefits. Determining the right screening strategy is complex, but not impossible,” says Riley.

Local resident takes First Runner-Up in Galaxy International Pageant Kaili Harding also wins swimsuit competition, couture award

Elmhurst — Kaili Harding, Ms. Illinois Galaxy 2015 and president of Schaumburg Business Association, made a strong showing at the recent Galaxy International Pageant by winning first runner-up in the Ms. Galaxy division.

Harding, an Elmhurst resident, competed with national and international winners at the 2016 Galaxy International Pageant® which took place Aug. 5–9 at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida.

Contestants competed in four divisions: Teen, Miss, Ms. and Mrs. Galaxy.

She achieved winning status in other divisions, in addition to earning first runner-up.

Harding took first place in the Swimsuit competition.

She credits the combination of hard work and the power of positivity to help her KAILI achieve her HARDING goals on and off the pageant circuit.

“If you have the goal in mind to do something, you can do it,” she said. “This philosophy has helped me find jobs, be a good parent and even to win a swimsuit competition.”

A much bigger honor came when Harding accepted the Couture Award out all of the divisions. This award, she explained, refers to presenting the best in fashion and displaying an enthusiastic attitude dur-

ing the whole pageant week.

“That award was the biggest shock to me; that was my winning moment,” she said. “It really was an honor because I did have a good time at the pageant and I tried to looked the best at every moment. The award meant a lot to me.”

Her experience in Florida was a positive one as she enjoyed the company of her fellow Galaxy “sister queens” from Illinois as well as other contestants. Asked if she will enter a pageant again, she left the door open.

“I say ‘never say never’ because I know that there’s always the opportunity of speaking and promoting appearances for charitable causes,” Harding said. “Whether or not I went home with a crown at this pageant, I was honored to be recognized.”

Trespass notice

Warrant service

Sept. 7 A complainant at a club in the 100 block of N. Addison told police an unidentified suspect entered the club and sat by the entrance for several minutes.

The suspect then sat by a jukebox and began talking to himself, making customers uncomfortable. He was asked to leave and was found sitting outside on a bench. The suspect was subsequently issued a no-trespass noticed and advised if he returned to the property, he would be subject to arrest.

Elmhurst out in full force to catch drunk drivers Reminder: Drive sober or get pulled over

ELMHURST — As summer winds down, the Elmhurst Police Department is ramping up its traffic enforcement efforts as part of a national crackdown on drunk driving. The highvisibility campaign, Drive Sober of Get Pulled Over, is a partnership of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IL-IDOT) to curb drunk and drugged driving and to save lives.

As part of this traffic

enforcement campaign the Elmhurst Police Department will conduct a roadside safety check on a major Elmhurst roadway.

The check will run from 11 p.m. on Friday, September 18 until 4 a.m. to Saturday, September 19, 2015. During roadside safety checks, police officers slow traffic and contact motorists at regular intervals, looking for drivers who show signs of impairment in an effort to remove dangerous drivers from our roadways.

This law enforcement crackdown is funded by federal traffic safety funds through the IL-IDOT.

College cracks top 10 in U.S. News rankings for Midwest Elmhurst moves up a spot in both Best College, Best Value categories

ELMHURST — Elmhurst College has been named the 10th Best Regional University in the Midwest in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges rankings for 2016, released on September 9. The College also rose from #10 to the #9 spot this year on U.S. News’ list of Best Value Schools, or “Great Schools at a Great Price.”

This is the first time Elmhurst College has cracked the Top 10 list of Best Regional Universities in the well-respected publication’s annual rankings.

The College’s rise on the list continues from last year, when it shot up three places to reach

the No. 10 spot.

“We are very pleased to have entered the Top 10 among best regional colleges and universities, and to have reached No. 9 on the list of great schools at a great price,” said Elmhurst College Interim President Larry Braskamp. “Year after year, our high rankings in U.S. News and other college rankings confirm the strength and success of our commitment to students—to putting them first and helping them to reach their potential.”

Elmhurst ranked 10th among 113 institutions in the Midwest region, maintaining the highest rank among those in the Chicago metropolitan area. Schools ranked higher than Elmhurst include Creighton, Butler and Drake universities, all far larger than Elmhurst.

Some of the factors that counted toward Elmhurst’s

rank include its strong freshman retention rate of 80 percent and its low student-to-faculty ratio. All classes at Elmhurst are taught by professors, not teaching assistants, and the student-to-faculty ratio is 13 to 1.

U.S. News calculates its Best Value Schools rankings based on academic quality and the 2014-15 net cost of attendance for a student with an average level of need-based financial aid. In 2014, 72 percent of Elmhurst students received grants based on financial need, an average tuition discount of 46 percent. Further, the average debt load for recent Elmhurst graduates is 17 percent less than the national average for private colleges, making it comparable to a public university.

Several other high-profile national media rankings have recently named Elmhurst Col-

lege among the best colleges around in educational value for tuition dollars, meaningful

campus experience, and proven record of preparing students for successful careers and lives.

Tom Cullerton passes measure to prevent drug related deaths SPRINGFIELD — DuPage County introduced the first county-wide application of Narcan® in the state and the DuPage County Health Department organized an effort to equip more than 2,000 people, largely local police, with Narcan at the beginning of 2014.

The use of Narcan in DuPage County has since saved more than 49 lives.

State Senator Tom Culler-

ton (D-Villa Park) is hoping to spread the success of this county-wide program with today’s passage of House Bill 1.

“Today we put protections in place to help prevent our young people from making fatal decisions,” said Cullerton. “We have all seen that drug overdoses can happen to people regardless of their age, socioeconomic background or ethnicity.”

The legislation addresses heroin and opioid abuse and addiction in Illinois in a variety of different ways, including programs mirrored off the success of DuPage County’s efforts at training public safety entities in administering Narcan, requiring state agencies to develop a three-year heroin and opioid drug prevention program and expanding statefunded treatment to include

Forest Preserve District recognized for financial reporting WHEATON — For the 28th consecutive year, the Government Finance Officers Association has awarded the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County its Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.

It is for the District’s report for the fiscal year 2013-14, which is posted at dupageforest.org. The award recognizes the report’s readability and efficient organization.

“It’s a testament to our agency’s longstanding dedication

to open operations that we’ve received this award each year for more than a quarter century,” said Forest Preserve President Joe Cantore.

The District’s Finance & Administration office prepares the agency’s budgetary documents as well as its annual financial reports, which provide comprehensive statements of audited figures for completed fiscal years.

“These documents are the public record of our agency’s sound financial prac-

tices, and our staff takes pride in preparing accurate and thorough reports,” said Finance Director Jack Hogan.

Started more than 100 years ago, the nonprofit Government Finance Officers Association serves more than 17,800 finance professionals in the U.S. and Canada. It developed this recognition program to encourage more comprehensive annual financial reports in the spirit of transparency and full disclosure.

addiction therapy and prescription costs.

Narcan reverses the effects of overdose for heroin, cocaine, Vicodin®, OxyContin® and morphine. The drug can be administered either by injection or nasal spray.

Throughout the nation, fatal drug overdoses have increased six-fold over three decades, claiming 36,000 American lives every year.

“This comprehensive solution is a great example of legislators working together in a bipartisan manner to address a serious problem and work to save lives,” said Cullerton.

“I’m proud of the work we have done to protect families across Illinois.”

House Bill 1 passed out of the Senate with a vote of 44-11.

The law goes into effect immediately.

U. S. Chamber says Illinois’ lawsuit climate poor; Trial Lawyers disagree

By Mark Fitton Illinois News Network

SPRINGFIELD — The U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, September 10, said Illinois’ lawsuit climate is nearly the worst in the country. The Illinois Trial Lawyers Association answered, saying that’s corporate propaganda.

Citing a survey conducted for its Institute for Legal Reform

by Harris Poll, the Chamber said only Louisiana and West Virginia fare worse than Illinois.

The score represents Illinois’ worst showing in the 13-year history of the survey. Illinois was bested by regional competitors including Iowa at No. 4, Indiana at No. 18, Wisconsin at No. 20, Kentucky at No. 39 and Missouri at No. 42.

According to the survey, 75 percent of senior company attorneys surveyed said a state’s lawsuit environment is likely to affect important business decisions at their companies, including where to locate or expand.

The Chamber rolled out the national survey in a Chicago news conference, which Gov. Bruce Rauner joined.

Gov. Rauner praised the Chamber’s efforts to shine light on the issue and said the state’s reputation for a nasty lawsuit atmosphere was hurting Illinois in job retention, job creation and employer recruitment.

“You come here, you open yourself up to attack and excessive judgment against your company,” the governor said.

“There needs to be a balance of influence, a balance of outcomes between plaintiffs and defendants, between employers and those who are … attacking employers. We’re clearly out of balance.”

“We have two of the areas of the nation that are regarded as the worst places for lawsuit abuse, completely biased for plaintiffs and plaintiffs attorneys. That’s down in Madison County and, unfortunately, right here in the city of Chicago.”

The governor said he’s pro-

posed legislation to improve what he considers unfairly weighted aspects of Illinois’ system, such as medical awards based on charges rather than actual payments; overly inclusive liability standards and venue shopping by plaintiffs. The subject is important because Illinois can’t fix a seemingly continual budget crisis without improving its economy, Rauner noted.

“Without growth, we will not solve our financial troubles,” he said.

Perry J. Browder, president of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Trial Association, tore into Rauner, the survey, the Institute for Legal Reform and Harris Poll in a statement issued in response. Browder called the institute “a front group for the nation’s wealthiest special interests” and said the governor was putting profits before people.

“The only lawsuit crisis in Illinois is the one conjured up by the imaginations of phony front groups funded by big businesses trying to saddle the state’s taxpayers with the costs of caring for those who are injured or the survivors of those killed due to corporate negligence or malfeasance,” Browder said.

The Trial Lawyers president also said the respondents were essentially defense attorneys for the nation’s richest companies, and the survey excluded other relevant parties such as attorneys and judges.

Browder called the survey “math washing — using numbers to give the veneer of science and precision to a biased study that found just what it wanted to find.”

He argued Illinois’ civil justice system works and said the state’s courts “provide a level playing field for individuals to force wrongdoers to make amends — even the wealthiest people and companies that, in other spheres of our government, exert vastly disproportionate influence.”

Harris Poll said its survey was conducted via online and telephone interviews between March 9 and June 24, 2105. The respondents were 1,203 general counsels and senior attorneys or leaders in companies with annual revenues of at least $100 million. The sampling variation or error was listed at plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

The survey is available at instituteforlegalreform.com

OBITUARIES

Donald W. Buik, 88

Industrial laundry pioneer Donald W. Buik, 88, formerly of Oak Brook and Elmhurst, died peacefully at home on September 2, 2015. Loving husband of the late Betty J. Buik nee Jakoubek, dear father of Nancy Beth (Jeff), Richard (Patricia), Christine (Jim) and James (Teresa); gentle grandfather of Mark, Anna, Mollie, Steven, Will, Julia, Katie and Daniel; doting dog parent of Max. Born in Oak Park on April 12, 1927, and predeceased by parents, Frieda and George, Sr., sisters, Annabelle Roche and Dorothy (Doe) Kempinsky, brother, George Buik, Jr. Donald’s two passions were

his family and his family’s business, The Roscoe Company of Chicago. Buik served in the U.S. Navy V-5 DONALD W. program before BUIK completing a business degree at Northwestern University in 1948. Joining the family business founded in 1921 by his father, Don became president in 1969, continuing to guide the company until his son, Jim, purchased the company in 2000. Long active in the Institute of Industrial Launderers (renamed UTSA), Buik served as president from 1973-’74.

Buik piloted the installation of the first wastewater pretreatment system in an industrial laundry and showcased this work at the 6th Annual World Linen Congress in Venice, Italy. These pioneering efforts brought Buik recognition, including induction into the UTSA Plant Operations Hall of Fame and the Gus Eggerling Award. Don earned the title of “Lawndale Industrialist of the Year” which is named for the area in which The Roscoe Company continues to operate today. Buik served as chairman of the Lawndale Sears Roebuck YMCA, and received the Lawndale Business Community Spirit Award which was later named in his honor for future recipients.

to go, what’s at home, what are we having?

Sounds pretty ideal, doesn’t it? Well, it depends on what sports, clubs or organizations the kids are involved in; is there a practice or a game? Is there rehearsal for a concert or a play? Is there a meeting or special activity for one of the many causes students are involved in today, like Relay For Life?

And what about Mom and Dad? You know there’s always a meeting after work, something to drop off or pick up, a task to complete you tried to finish on your lunch hour, but couldn’t. Are there groceries in the house? If no, gotta stop at the store. Is there a meeting to attend at City Hall about local civic issues (did someone say flooding? stormwater)?

Is there a class or lecture at Elmhurst College or the pub-

lic library Mom or Dad might want to attend?

The busier we get, the tougher it is to stick to any kind of schedule at all. It’s even worse when half the family is operating on an 8-5 schedule and the rest is following 7:30-3:30. What about family harmony? What about helping with homework?

It seems like a shift would be a good idea but that begs another question: How could it ever be accomplished? On what day would we all make such a giant shift in our lives? We do it for Daylight Savings Time. Could we ever do it to change our lives?

And would the change be for the better?

Could we do it to change the world? Would it make the world a better place? Who knows? Who knows if we could ever find a way to try.

Timothy Christian girls tennis team off to 3-0 start Beard and Monat take second at No. 2 doubles in Moline

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The Timothy Christian girls tennis team was 3-0 in dual matches through last week.

The Trojans scored wins over Addison Trail (4-1), Elk Grove (3-2) and IC Catholic Prep (4-1). Timothy also had two matches rained out.

Timothy also took fourth at the Moline invitational. The Trojans competed in Moline with only seven available players and without No. 1 singles player McKenna Byrne.

In the Elk Grove contest, Byrne and Danielle Beard scored a hard-fought 6-4, 7-5 win at No. 1 doubles. “Elk Grove has three highly ranked players this year,” said Timothy coach Keith Mills.

Beard and Maddie Monat took second at No. 2 doubles in Moline. Abygale Ahn filled in at No. 1 singles and took third in Moline. “That was Abygale’s first singles action after suffering an ankle sprain in our second practice,” said Mills.

Through late last week, Beard was 5-1. She missed most of the first week of the season with an ankle injury. Byrne had a 3-0 record.

“Our teamwork and support is strong already, which is a good sign,” said Mills. “Due to injuries and matchups I have had to change the lineup quite a bit and it has not affected play with different positions and partners.”

Mills, who noted the team is hard at work on its doubles strategy, is hopeful a regular lineup soon will be established. “Our consistency has improved,” he said. “However we need to settle on a regular lineup. That will be my job in

the next week.”

The coach added Monat and Beard are two players who have stepped up of late. “Maddie has been an early-season surprise and is improving rapidly,” said Mills. “Danielle also is hitting the ball really well so far.”

Timothy was slated to play Walther Christian and Elmwood Park this week in Metro Suburban Conference East Division matches. The Trojans also will play in the Elk Grove invitational Saturday.

Timothy Christian girls volleyball team off to hot start Trojans win Timothy-Westmont tournament.

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

EMHURST — The wins have come frequently thus far for the Timothy Christian girls’ volleyball team.

The Trojans were off to an 8-1 start through late last week.

That included winning the Timothy Christian-Westmont tournament championship with a 4-1 record.

At the tournament, Timothy defeated Westmont JV and Harvest Christian Academy, but lost to IC Catholic Prep to finish 2-1 in pool play.

That second-place pool-play finish still earned the Trojans a spot in the tournament semifinals. Timothy defeated Elgin St. Edward in three sets in the semifinals and then downed Chicago Latin School in three sets in the tournament championship.

“The season has gone well so far,” said Timothy coach Scott

Piersma. “We’re playing well.

We had a good tournament.

After we lost to IC Catholic Prep we bounced back real well the next day.”

Defense and a strong third set helped the Trojans win the match against Latin. “Those were the two key things,” said Piersma. “Latin has an outstanding outside hitter. We shut her down in the third set. We had seven total blocks in the third set and five of those came against that girl. We also had 13 digs in the third set. Those aren’t numbers you typically see in a high school match very often. It was very impressive to watch. The first two sets were close (25-20, 22-25) but we were able to take charge in the third (25-17).”

Piersma said Timothy is excelling around the court.

Ava Venema and Tracy Westra have been strong in the middle on the block. “Our blocking is working real well,” he said.

“Ava and Tracy are putting up a big solid block and Dani (Van Laten) has been strong up

there as well. We haven’t come across a team yet that has been able to stop Ava. She’s been dominate at the net and has been getting us a lot of points.”

On defense, Zoe Stanton and Abby Groters were cited for strong play. “Zoe and Abby have done a great job of digging balls up,” said Piersma.

“They were part of many of those big digs against Latin.”

Kendra Teune provides Timothy with another key weapon on the outside. “Kendra is a big threat for us on the outside,” said Piersma. “We can rely on her for kills.”

Timothy turns its attention to a challenging week where it will play Metro Suburban Conference East Division uppertier contenders Illiana Christian and Chicago Christian. Timothy also will take part in the St. Viator tournament.

“We have both Illiana and Chicago Christian at home. It’s going to be a tough week,” said Piersma. “If we can come out of it with two more wins, I would be very happy. And

then we go to St. Viator, which is probably going to be our toughest regular-season tournament of the year. By the end of the week we’ll get in another seven matches real quick. We are going to be playing some tough competition.”

Timothy also recently scored a pair of MSC East Division wins over Guerin Prep and Elmwood Park.

In the Guerin Prep win (25-6, 25-12), Van Laten had 15assists. Teune had seven kills and five aces. Olivia Hoekstra had four kills, while Venema had three kills. Groters finished

218583

with five digs and seven aces.

In a 25-6, 25-9 win over Elmwood Park that improved Timothy’s conference record to 3-0, Van Laten had 10 assists and four kills. Teune had three kills and four aces. Venema had five kills, while Groters had seven digs.

In the Timothy-Westmont tournament, Van Laten had 91 assists, 27 digs, 22 kills and seven blocks. Teune had 44 kills. Venema had 39 kills and 11 blocks. Westra finished with 12 aces, 15 digs and 5 1/2 blocks. Stanton had 31 digs and Groters had 20 digs.

York girls cross-country team strong out of gates Dukes have a record 147 girls in program this season

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

The York girls cross-country team got off to a strong start.

The Dukes opened the season with a West Suburban Conference Silver Division triangular meet. York defeated Oak Park-River Forest on the varsity level and lost to Downers Grove North.

York also ran at the Leavey St. Charles East invitational at Leroy Oakes Forest Preserve.

York’s junior varsity team won the meet with 21 points.

York’s varsity took third out of 13 teams.

“It was a hot day at St. Charles,” said York coach Annette Schulte. “The JV scoring 21 points, that’s a good score for a big meet and the varsity did well. It was a

good start to the season.”

Elizabeth Hagstrom, a senior, and freshman Sarah May both finished in the Top 15 at St. Charles.

“They both ran very well,” said Schulte. “Those are two girls at this point who are doing exceptionally well.

Everybody is doing well, but those two have really stepped it up.”

Senior Jessica Zellinger, along with sophomores Emily Siegenthaler and Erin Davies also have been in York’s Top 5 of late.

“Jessica was injured last year,” said Schulte. “She has been racing well and will continue to improve for us. We’re making steady progress as a group. We need to get the pack closer to Lizzy (Hagstrom) and Sarah. Sarah’s about 20 seconds behind and we need more girls to get closer to Sarah. Right now we’re about 40 seconds there. If we can get

the other three girls closer to Sarah and maintain our split with Lizzy I think we can do some things.”

York has a record 147 girls in the program this season.

“We thought we would have a bigger turnout over the summer, but it’s been a much bigger turnout in the fall,” said Schulte. “This is the largest team we’ve ever hard.”

Schulte said there are several factors that have led to the increased numbers. “The enrollment at the school has increased,” she said. “There’s also a push to get more involved with extra curricular activities at school. It’s a good thing. We’re providing an opportunity for girls with different ability levels.”

The increased roster number means Schulte and her staff have a full coaching plate. The longtime York coach said one major benefit thus far has been the large amount of strong

leaders on the team.

“We have a lot of girls on the team who are exceptional when it comes to leadership,” she said. “We break the team down into groups and each group has a leader.”

York’s captains this year are Hagstrom, Claire Niawara, Emily Fjelstedt and Norah Barrett.

“These girls do a very nice job,” said Schulte. “We have 15 groups and each group has 6-10 runners in it depending on the day. They lead each segment of practice, help with the barefoot exercises, and report injuries and illnesses.

They are a big help.”

York will head to Peoria Saturday to run in the Norte Dame invitational.

“It will be a very competitive meet,” said Schulte.

York has two more WSC Silver triangulars on the schedule. The triangular results no longer count in the final league

standings, only the conference meet does.

At the Leavey invitational in St. Charles, Hagstrom finished seventh with a time of 18:24.7. May was 13th at 18:45.8. Siegenthaler was 26th at 19:25.0. Davies was 28th at 19:28.0. Zellinger placed 33rd with a time of 19:41.6. Julie Biggins was 37th at 19:56.7 and Erin Muckian placed 41st at 20:00.6.

In the Open race, York’s JV won the title with 21 points.

York had five runners in the Top 7 and six in the Top 12.

Sophomore Haley Weiler finished second with a time of 19:46.2. Freshman Sarah Gutierrez was third at 19:56.9.

Juinor Bridget Berger was fourth at 20:18.1. Freshman Anna Morley was fifth at 20:24.2. Sophomore Katherine Tomaska was seventh at 20:28.0 and freshman Francesca Mordini was 11th at 20:41.1.

hurst College’s executive director of facilities management, this one-hour tour will highlight eco-friendly aspects of West Hall and the surrounding grounds.

Participants on the Eco-Tour will receive free admission to the Lessons from Modernism exhibition at the Elmhurst Art Museum, on display now through November 29. The exhibition looks at a group of 20th Century modern architecture projects and explores their innovations in environmental design for today’s practice. The West Hall Eco-Tour brings the exhibition up to date with a contemporary example of sustainable or “green” architecture.

West Hall, which opened its doors in 2008, is a prime

example of how Elmhurst College puts principles of sustainable design to work in the day-to-day lives of students.

The residence hall features a solar water-heating system,

eco-friendly building materials and many energy-conserving and sustainable elements in its structure and grounds. In 2009, the U.S. Green Building Council awarded West Hall a

gold rating in its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system.

The building was one of the first of its kind in Illinois to achieve that status.

Elmhurst College, Art Museum to explore green architecture College to offer ‘EcoTour’ to augment museum’s Lessons from Modernism exhibition

ELMHURST —On Thursday, Sept. 24 at 12 noon, Elmhurst College and the Elmhurst Art Museum will host a free “Eco-Tour” of West Hall, one of the region’s greenest buildings, in conjunction with the Art Museum’s fall exhibition Lessons from Modernism: Environmental Design Strategies in Architecture, 1925-1970. The tour begins at the west entrance of the West Hall building, off the parking lot. The public is invited to attend.

York boys cross-country team ready to tackle more tough terrain Dukes started season strong with WSC Silver triangular win

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

How tough is the boys crosscountry competition in the Chicagoland area?

Veteran York coach Joe Newton can readily answer that.

His Dukes’ team, which earned a No. 3 preseason ranking from the state coaches association, runs in the competitive West Suburban Conference Silver Division, which features four of the state’s top teams. Newton noted a recent poll showed four of the Top 10 teams in Class 3A reside in the WSC Silver.

“LaGrange (Lyons) almost upset Sandburg at an invitational. They only lost by one point and everybody thought Sandburg was a shoe-in this year,” said Newton. “LaGrange is going to be tough. And our one home meet is against Hinsdale Central and Glenbard West. It’s a tough schedule.”

Newton also happens to feel very strongly about his team’s chances this season. “We will be good,” he said. “I don’t know how good, but we have very good talent.”

Sophomore Charlie Kern Jr. is back after finishing eighth in the state as a freshman. “Charlie’s our No. 1 guy and the other guys we have coming back are good leaders,” said Newton. “Those six other guys are running right together. We have a good team, but we know we have to do it on the day. Talk is cheap.”

Besides Kern Jr., the Dukes are led by the likes of Devin Davies, Liam Hill, Max Denning, Jon May, Tom Devereux and Robert Tomaska. Hill is a junior, while the other five are seniors. Kern Jr., Davies, Hill, Denning, May and Devereux all ran at last year’s state meet where York finished sixth in Class 3A.

“We had a time trial over at the park,” said Newton. “We ran 2.1 miles and we had seven guys finishing within eight seconds of each other. I was very impressed. We are going to be competitive.”

Newton said this year’s team brings back some memories.

“This is like an old-time York team,” he said. “These guys ran all summer and they are in really good shape. They went through some hard workouts and blasted through them. It’s an old-fashioned York team. This is my 55th year at York and this is like having one of those old-time teams from the 60s, 70s and 80s.

They run together every day and pal along together. They all are

good students. They not only are talented, but they work hard and they stay together as a group.

They get the message.”

Newton won’t make any grand predications going forward, but said his team will be ready to compete this season.

“I’m not saying anything like we are going to win this or that,” he said. “All I know is we have a good team. But we have a very hard schedule. LaGrange almost beat the No. 1 team in the state and they finished ahead of us last year. Hinsdale is the two-time defending state champion and has guys back. Our conference meet is going to be a humdinger.

It will be like a mini-state meet.”

York has 170 runners in the

program this season.

“Our sophomores are good and our freshmen are very good,” said Newton. “We have a lot of talent in the program.”

York opened the season with a WSC Silver triangular win over Oak Park-RiverForest and Downers Grove North. Kern Jr. won the varsity race.

“Charlie was up front but Liam (Hill) was there battling him down to the wire,” said Newton.

“Charlie finished first and then we had the third, fourth, fifth and eighth runners. We had a very tight group.”

York will compete in its first invitational of the season Saturday down in Peoria at Detweiler Park (Notre Dame invitational).

The first-year coach also has been pleased with the team’s progress on defense. “We’re playing a four-back system and playing a little differently than in the past. Our guys do a good job of winning the ball and they distribute very well. We also possess the ball very well in the back.”

Jimmy Allen was the team’s leading scorer in goals through late last week with 14. “Jimmy is fast and has good breakaway speed,” said Fernandes. “When he gets away he gives himself a lot of scoring opportunities. He had two big goals for us in that Peoria Christian game. He has an eye for the net and is a strong finisher.”

Captains Josh Anderson and Mitch Evenhouse also have played key roles in the team’s success thus far. “Both Josh and

Goals have been plentiful for the Trojans, who have racked up a staggering 47 goals in their first six games. Timothy has allowed only nine goals en route to a hot 5-1 start.

Timothy opened the season with a 6-2 non-conference win over Lisle. The Trojans then took their annual voyage to the Peoria area where they took second in the Peoria tournament with a 2-1 record. Timothy defeated St. Thomas More 6-2 and fellow Metro Suburban Conference East Division member Chicago Christian 9-0. The Trojans lost 4-3 to Peoria Christian in the championship game.

Timothy then recorded a 10-0 non-conference win over Montini and a 13-1 MSCEast win over Guerin Prep.

Anderson was the team’s second-leading scorer with 9 goals through late last week. “Josh is great with possession and is very good on set pieces,” said Fernandes.

Junior Noah Marrera has been a strong presence in goal for the Trojans. “Noah’s done pretty well for us so far,” said Fernandes.

Ben Lodewyk, who was injured in the Peoria tournament and was still out as of late last week, Nate Daniels and Alex Markewycz are helping Marrera in the back with key defense play. “Ben has been great,” said Fernandes. Nate has stepped up big and has been solid back there and Alex along with Nate are center backs who are holding it together back there.”

VIEWPOINT Senate passes nearly $4 billion spending bill; also overrides ‘Heroin Crisis Act’ veto SPRINGFIELD — With entirely Democratic support, the state Senate on Wednesday, September 9, passed a bill to fund human service providers, to let road money flow through to local governments and to allow Illinois Lottery winners to be paid.

Sen. Heather Steans, D-Chicago, said the appropriations measure would authorize spending of $1.8 billion from general revenue funds for human services. Additionally, it would allow $2 billion from other state funding sources, including motor fuel taxes.

Republicans opposed the measure, saying Democrats were just accelerating Illinois budget crisis by knowingly spending more money than the state will collect.

“So, the budget you passed in May was $4 billion out of balance, (and) we’re here four months later and now you want to put it $6 billion out of balance?” asked Sen. Matt Murphy, R-Palatine.

Sen. Daniel Biss, D-Evanston, said while he didn’t vote for the budget offered by Democrats in May and later vetoed by Gov. Bruce Rauner, the Legislature must proceed assembling a budget with appropriations first if need be.

To do nothing until the warring parties in Springfield break their impasse, he and other Democrats argued, would be to allow the devastation of Illinois human services infrastructure and the harming of the state’s most vulnerable citizens.

“Let’s cut the self-righteousness, let’s all look inside of ourselves, let’s recommit to sitting down and working this (impasse) out, to solving it,” said Biss. “Until we get there, let’s not hurt people for no reason.”

Republicans weren’t buying that line of reasoning.

“Just appropriating money that isn’t there isn’t giving people comfort,” Murphy said.

“It’s leading them down a path because someone’s not going to get the money.”

The Republican governor’s administration opposes the bill.

“Rather than pursuing this failed Groundhog Day strategy of putting unbalanced budgets up for a vote every few weeks, we urge Senate Democrats to come back to the negotiating table to pursue compromise, reform and a balanced budget,” one of the governor’s top aides said in a memo to Senators.

The measure, Senate Bill 2046, passed on a partisan roll call of

36-19. It now moves on to the House, where it will need 71 votes to pass.

While Democrats said reasonable people could disagree on how to fund human services, they argued that withholding motor fuel tax money for local road work and not allowing payments to lottery game winners of more than $25,000 was less than sensible.

They argued the money to fund those items is being collected and can and should be paid out.

The state recently announced that because of the budget impasse, Lottery game winners of more than $25,000 would have to essentially settle for an IOU. Two winners have since sued.

Senate overrides Gov’s veto of heroin crisis bill

With bipartisan support, the Senate on Wednesday overrode Gov. Rauner’s amendatory veto of House Bill 1, the Heroin Crisis Act. The bill championed by Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie, and cosponsors from both parties won overwhelming bipartisan support when it first passed the General Assembly.

However, it was red-penned

by Rauner, who largely cited its potential cost to the state, which has been estimated at anywhere from $25 million to $60 million annually.

The Senate’s override vote, 44 to 11, follows last week’s House override vote, 105 to 5, and the measure now becomes law. It retains funding authority for heroin addiction treatment.

Reader closed on house just days after 1987 flood

By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

Faithful Independent reader Jim Herrmann of the 400 block of So. Hillside, came across an old photo from 1987 flood in Elmhurst. With it is a current photo of the area taken by the Independent.

“This is the now the Kohl’s / Whole Foods plaza at Rte. 83 and St. Charles looking north,” he said. “The new Chik-FilA stands where the Builder’s Square sign sits. You can see the old Portillo’s Hot Dogs at the far end of the plaza. Of course, photo by Dee Longfellow the new one stands where the Rte. 83 & St. Charles today – in 2015 ReMax sign sits in the photo. There are more cars than water in this recent shot of the same area. There’s been a great deal of progress in that area in the past 25+ years.

There was a lot of water.

“My wife and I closed on our Elmhurst house in the days following the flood. Our new home was high and dry - its one of the few homes in Elmhurst sitting happily on a slab. We’ve been here ever since. photo courtesy of Jim Herrmann

Rte. 83 & St. Charles in August of 1987 This photo recently turned up in the home of Jim Herrmann, who sent it in to recall the flood of 1987 and how it didn’t stop Jim and his wife from closing on their Elmhurst home just a few days later – and still no regrets!
