City’s Real Estate Forum shows promising future Continued construction growth keeps town vital, draws more development

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

On Wednesday, Sept. 15, the City of Elmhurst and the Elmhurst Economic Development Commission (EDC) presented its annual Real Estate Forum for members of the real estate, commercial development and mortgage industries at Pint’s in downtown Elmhurst.

EDC Chairman Bill Shanklin welcomed the crowd and offered introductions. Then Mayor Steve Morley approached the podium – carrying a purse?!

“I like to do something a little different every time I come to one of these meetings,” he chuckled, after someone quipped that the purse did not match his shoes. “My shoes are black and they go with anything!”

Morley went on to talk about how the City generates revenue and how real estate and commercial development contributes to that revenue.

“There are two ways a City can get tax revenue,” he said. “We can take our current tax base, that is, the residents and business owners in Elmhurst, and we can increase their taxes, but that’s not the best way. It’s better to broaden your tax base, rather than burden your current base.”

The mayor noted that the tax rate has been lowered in the last two years and that is due to a pro-business environment that starts with a very pro-business City Council.

“When you drive around and see the dedication, see the pride in businesses and in residents, that’s what businesses look for [when choosing a location],” he said. “Are people investing in our town? Turns out, yes

they ARE!” Construction underway throughout CIty, more planned Morley said there was $100 million of construction going on currently in Elmhurst and another $66 million in the planning stages.

“So that’s $166 million in projects either already here or coming soon,” he said. “That is a very good sign of a successful community.”

Sales tax has been up this year, according to Morley. The food and beverage tax revenue is up by $11,000 over 2015. The mayor noted that 350 new high-density dwellings will have a positive impact on local businesses.

“We like to build density to get more customers to use local businesses,” he said.

“We have to keep our downtown vibrant to keep people coming. But with 79 new home permits, there have been record new home sales, in fact, I believe we are 2:1 for the entire County.”

Morley noted that it has been the ongoing practice of the City to repair one to five miles of streets and roadways every year. This is what developers notice when the come to a community, he said.

The mayor also talked briefly about the significant rain events of the past several years, noting that there were no major rain events for 21 years, then in the last eight years, there have been six. And the infrastructure hasn’t changed.

“We recently spent $30 million to mitigate this issue,” he said. “We will continue to attack it in the future.”

A report on TIF Districts Assistant City Manager Mike Kopp talked about the TIF Districts.

“North Elmhurst used to be pretty dead,” he said, “but with Mariano’s, L.A. Fitness, the new Starbuck’s, it was decided to create TIF #4.”

He talked about TIF #1 in downtown and the various attractions in the City, noting ridership was up this summer for the Elmhurst Trolley.

He also mentioned events in City Centre, like the Rock The Block party; the Craft Beer Fest at the Elmhurst History Museum. Kopp further mentioned working together with Elmhurst College and that a “Town and Gown” Committee may be forming.

Kopp introduced Willis Johnson, owner of York Theater and Classic Cinemas, who was seated in the room.

“York Theater is the heart that has kept beating in the downtown, even in the tough times,” Kopp said, drawing a round of applause for Johnson.

The Lake Street TIF from Walnut to Rte. 83 will be expiring soon, Kopp said, but a 5th TIF District has been in the works and in fact, was just approved by City Council on Monday, Sept. 19. TIF #5 will actually overlay the Lake Street TIF and cover more area. Properties will be released from the TIF. (See illustration.)

What is in Elmhurst’s future?

Erin Van De Walle, Business Development Coordinator for the City, offered an economic development update, sharing new businesses and projects coming to Elmhurst.

At the north end: • A prospective car wash on York St., north of Wendy’s; • A Cilantro restaurant has located across the street from Mariano’s; • Wilkins dealership is splitting into two, a Mazda and a Hyundai dealership on either side with a service center between them.

• L.A. Fitness is getting closer every day to opening.

On Spring Road: • Doc Ryan’s has new owners • V.M. Design Group has opened in the former Suburban Bank location.

• A pizza restaurant is moving into the space where DiCianni Real Estate has been.

Downtown: • Fruitful Yield is moving and doubling in size.

• Guac & Taco is taking the former spot of Goalie’s Goodies.

• Lakeside Bank has built on the site that was formerly Ron’s service station.

• The Red Arrow Tap Room is moving into the space once held by The Uptown Shoppe.

• Gloria Jean’s is moving into Elijah’s former space, the company’s first-ever store outside a mall.

• The Uptown Shoppe is operating in its new location, the former Leonard’s Store for Men. • Fuego Loco is expanding next door and will have a gift shop and a “sauceria.”

• More brewery companies are planning a move to Elmhurst.

Better cell service needed in south Elmhurst: Ald. Mulliner Some people don’t want cellular devices in backyard

By Dan McLeister FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Some Elmhurst residents do not want cellular company devices in their backyard, but they want better service, 7th Ward Alderman Mark Mulliner stated at a recent meeting of the Development, Planning and Zoning (DPZ) Committee. He said a small cellular device could be put in his backyard.

Mulliner added that small cellular devices could be put on existing street light poles, rather than on new separate poles.

At a Sept. 12th meeting of the DPZ Committee, Ald. Michael Honquist (6th Ward) noted that the location of cellular devices has become a hot button political issue.

The alderman suggested that a macro tower could be placed on top of the new six-story parking garage in downtown.

He said there could be a blend of both large and small devices around Elmhurst.

Several cellular company representatives attended the meeting.

The DPZ Committee has been

discussing the possible locations of small cellular devices, but Mike Howley of Insite Real Estate Consulting Services stated at the meeting that macro cellular towers, which can be 100 to 120 feet tall, are not going away soon. He noted that many consumers, possibly 50 percent, have discontinued their land-line telephone and only use cell phones. He called the market for cellular devices “vertical real estate.”

Howley pointed out that municipalities like Elmhurst have the possibility of long-term revenue stream by permitting more small cellular devices, which he said have a range of about 750 to 1000 feet.

If the devices are less than nine feet above ground, proposed City legislation would require that there be landscaping around the devices.

Howley noted that there is pending state legislation proposed by the state wireless association concerning where cellular devices can be placed.

Scott Levin (5th Ward), chairman of the DPZ Committee, stated that the City’s consideration of small cellular devices would be service driven, not revenue driven.

“We want to be smart about where to locate these devices.”

Park board news

Here’s what’s going on at the Elmhurst Park District

By Chris Fox FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

The Elmhurst Park District Board held a regular meeting on Sept. 12 at the district’s administrative building at 375 W. First Street. All seven commissioners attended the meeting.

There were no public comments.

Lakota Group selected for strategic planning

• Board members voted 6-0 to approve engaging with The Lakota Group for comprehensive and strategic plan services at a total cost of nearly $170,000. At its Aug. 22 meeting, the board heard presentations from The Lakota Group and one other firm interested in developing the park district’s comprehensive and strategic plan. Board members discussed the proposals later in the Aug. 22 meeting and eventually directed Elmhurst Park District Executive Director Jim

Rogers to open The Lakota Group’s cost proposal, which was about $208,000. Rogers and park district staff proceeded to negotiate with the Chicago-based firm to reach an agreement. The Lakota Group and park district staff made revisions to the scope of the overall project that reportedly won’t affect its quality.

The two sides arrived at the total fee of about $170,000—an 18.5-percent reduction from the original proposal of about $208,000.

The revised proposal will not affect the timeline of the project, which features a targeted completion date of late May 2017 to coincide with the kickoff of the district’s capital and budget planning for its 2018 fiscal year.

The board allocated $40,000 toward the project in the 2016 budget. In approving the agreement with The Lakota Group at the Sept. 12 meeting, the board also allocated the remaining cost of the project—nearly $130,000— in the district’s 2017 budget.

Commissioner Patricia MorissetteMoll recused herself from the vote related to the agreement with The Lakota Group. She also recused herself from the Aug. 22 discussion to select the firm from the two finalists.

Morissette-Moll noted at that meeting that her daughter is engaged to the son of one of the principals of

Courts Plus StairMasters to be replaced for $43,500

Board members voted 7-0 to authorize the replacement of six StairMaster Stepmill machines at Courts Plus. The total cost to replace the six cardiovascular fitness units is about $43,500. The district will acquire the new Stepmills from Life Fitness of Rosemont through the governmental purchasing cooperative known as the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA). The Stepmills being replaced are reportedly more than five years old and in need of significant repair.

Pool pass sales flat, but revenues higher due to cost increase

The Sept. 12 board meeting included a 2016 second quarter financial report that provided an overview of the district’s financial trends for the period from April 1 to June 30 of this year. One of the highlights from the report noted the sales of pool passes in each of the last two years. The district reportedly sold 7,725 passes in 2015, which resulted in revenue of about $270,000. The

price of passes increased about 15 percent in 2016, but the number of passes sold this year—7,696—was nearly identical to last year. The sale of passes in 2016 generated revenue of about $312,000—a 15-percent increase over last year, commensurate with the increase in price. Rogers said the current price of annual pool passes is still a tremendous value.

He said he could envision another price increase for pool passes in 2017.

The discounted pool pass rate for this year, which was available until May 27, was $39 for an individual resident. This year’s fee for an individual resident rose to $59 on May 28.

State of the Park District address planned for Sept. 29

Ginger Wade, the district’s director of marketing and communications, noted during the staff announcements segment of the meeting that the park district would hold its first-ever “State of the Park District” address on Thursday, Sept.

29, at The Abbey, 427 W. St. Charles Road. Networking will begin at 7 p.m. The presentation by Elmhurst Park District Board President Vince Spaeth and Rogers will start

at 7:15 p.m. According to information provided by the district, the presentation will provide a look at district projects, accomplishments and future plans. It will also include an overview of how the district and park board try to serve the recreational needs of district residents.

Those who plan to attend the meeting are asked to send an e-mail to RSVP@epd.org.

Board considers acquiring 135 Palmer Drive property

Board members entered into executive session near the end of the meeting. When they returned from executive session, Spaeth read a statement noting that the board met in closed session to consider the acquisition of the property at 135 Robert T. Palmer Drive.

According to Spaeth, a proposed purchase contract for the sale of the property for the purchase price of $1.8 million, signed by the seller, was presented to the park board for consideration.

Board members then voted unanimously to approve the purchase of the property, which is located just south of Glos Memorial Park. The board unanimously voted to pass a separate resolution authorizing Rogers to secure financing for the purchase.

FOCUS ON

VISION

by Dr. Mark Skowron

EYEWEAR FOR KIDS

While toddlers and their parents may want children’s eyewear that looks good, optical specialists also focus on fit and comfort, which help to ensure wearing compliance. Proper bridge and temple fit, as well as lens alignment, are of prime importance when it comes to fitting toddlers.

Since children have undeveloped bridges, optical specialists must take great care in making sure that the glasses do not slide down the youngster’s nose and that the lenses are centered on the face.

While some optical specialists claim that plastic frames are best suited to toddlers because they eliminate the risk of a child pulling off a nose pad, metal frames invariably sit well on a toddler’s nose because of the nose pads. When a child reaches school age, their visual system becomes an active, integral part of their education. If left untreated, some childhood vision problems can cause permanent vision loss. To learn more, please call SKOWRON EYE CARE. Our trained opticians will help you pick out the perfect frame style for your child, based on the shape of his or her face and skin tone. We feature the latest in technology from in-vogue eyewear and eyeglasses to complex contact lenses to LASIK eye surgery. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision.

P.S. “Cable temples” wrap around the ears to keep eyeglasses snugly fitted to a toddler’s head.

Slices of life

Fantasy football – family style It’s the trending Sunday sensation more popular than selfies in restaurants or commercials during the Super Bowl. In a word, it’s fantasy football.

According to the New York Post, via the American Express Spending and Saving Tracker, roughly a quarter of the U.S. population played fantasy football last season.

Millions of those aficionados were women. That includes two at my house – my daughter and me. (Who doesn’t like a good fantasy?)

Every. One. Is. Doing. It. (You, me, all of us!) We’re drafting a team. Conducting scientific football research. Choosing a lineup.

Paying attention to the flex, and I’m not referring to football muscles.

We’re living the fantasy.

We tune in on Sunday (and Thursday and Monday) and hope to high heaven we can score enough points this week to beat our daughter’s team, which she’s aptly named

By

JILL PERTLER Contributor

“The Gurley Squad” for obvious reasons.

At least that’s how it goes at my house. We don’t call them Sunday fun-days for nothing.

My family is fairly low-key about the game. Many fantasy fanatics win and lose big bucks each week through online fantasy sites, which are games of skill and technically not gambling or illegal. I can assure you nothing illegal is going on at my house. We’re just competing for the family trophy.

That, and bragging rights.

While I’m relatively new to the adventure, the idea of fantasy football was conceived in 1962, with the first draft occurring in 1963 in Oakland, California. It was a small enterprise back then. Because of the intricacies of scoring by hand in the pre-smart phone era, the game grew gradually over the next few decades until the immediacy of Internet magic took hold. Fantasy football websites and apps have brought the game to the masses – including non-football types like me.

This is my second year at the game, so I’m pretty much a pro.

No matter that I came in last place last season. I was a rookie, and everyone knows you can’t expect too much during a rookie year. (My name’s Jill, not Ezekiel.)

During the off-season, I acquired a vast amount of knowledge about running backs – full and half; they run the ball.

And receivers – the wide kind;

they catch the ball. And tight ends, who stand on the end and can both block bodies and catch the ball.

There’s also the quarterback, but we all know what he does.

A successful fantasy lineup requires expertise in fine-tuned research, extensive knowledge about player capabilities, insight into the sport and an awareness of sudden and unexpected changes to the game (Gronk). It all boils down to grilling my husband and three boys who, unlike me, have all the qualities listed above. I figure if I ask them lots of questions, their pigskin know-how will transfer over to me via familial osmosis.

So far it’s working. They’re willing to provide me with insider insight as long as I make them nachos on game day. I figure it’s a fair trade. (Or maybe that’s a waiver?)

Besides, I won during week one!

Not only that, I had the highest scoring team in my league, and I didn’t even play Cam Newton - a

blunder, perhaps, but Denver’s defense spooked me. Sorry, Cam! It’s not often you can brag about beating your daughter at football, but this week, I’ve got the rights.

It’s a proud parenting moment. If my winning ways continue, I could take the trophy home this year.

But, I best not count my touchdowns before the two-minute warning. I’m up against my husband this week and it’s likely to be a tough match. He’s got Andrew Luck and a possible Gronk to my Cam and Beckam Jr. Either way, we’re both winners. Because you know what they say…

The family that plays (and eats nachos) together stays together.

UCCA grateful for most recent food pantry endeavor

For the past ten years, United Community Concerns Association (UCCA) has been providing food for Elmhurst families in need by sponsoring a Mobile Food Pantry.

Every May, July, and September, a food truck from the Northern Illinois Food Bank, holding approximately 5,000 pounds of food, arrives at the City of Elmhurst Public Works Facility. Volunteers unload the truck, while families line up to shop.

Items to choose from have included meat, pizza, bread, crackers, cereal, cheese, fresh vegetables, fruit juice, canned soup, yogurt, and desserts.

In recent years, the Faith Christian Reformed Church has supplemented the food products by collecting soap, shampoo, and toothpaste.

At the most recent Food Pantry event on September 17, 30 volunteers comprised of UCCA board members and Elmhurst residents considered as Friends of the UCCA stood ready to unload the food, assist families in selecting items and help them load their cars. Just in this past year, more than 200 Elmhurst families have been served.

The UCCA is most grateful to Elmhurst City Manager James Grabowski for making the City of

Elmhurst Public Works Facility available for the pantries; and to Cori Tiberi, Assistant Director of Public Works, and her staff for generously managing the on-site details. With their assistance, and the help of all the volunteers, the Mobile Food Pantry has been successful in serving Elmhurst families.

ACA complete opposite of what was promised, reader says

The impact of the Affordable Care Act has been the complete opposite from what was promised.

The ACA promised we could keep our plan. For the 20 years prior to the ACA, we were able to purchase affordable health insurance and never had a policy cancelled. Like millions of others we didn’t gain health insurance coverage through the ACA, we lost our coverage because of it.

The ACA promised we could keep our doctors. The new ACA plans issued in 2016 gutted the number of

LOUISE HAMILTON, 98 Louise Hamilton, nee Smith, a resident of Elmhurst since 1947, passed away Sept. 15, 2016, at the age of 98. She was married to the late Willis Beatty Hamilton and was his loving companion and the joy of his life for over 73 years. Her memory will be forever cherished by her children: Sally, James (Sharon), Stephen (Denise), Ann (Terry) and Michael (Debra); her grandsons: Timothy, Todd and Jeffrey.

She is also survived by her brother, Richard Smith. A Memorial Mass will be held at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 134 Arthur St., Elmhurst, IL 60126 on Monday September 26, 2016 at 9:30 a.m., where she was a member since 1947, Inurnment immediately following at St. Mary Cemetery, in Elmhurst.

roles in operas of Mozart, Verdi, Puccini, Holst, Poulenc and Menotti, among others. She also sang the title role for the world premiere of Raymond WildingWhite’s three-act opera “Yerma,” based Sandra Walker on the Federico Garcia Lorca play. Walker was also a regular performer of the Wagner Society of America, the Spoleto Festival and the Aspen Music Festival.

Walker possessed a large voice, unusual for a lyric soprano, which made her a natural to perform tragic Puccini heroines, her specialty. She is featured in the title role on the Chicago Music Association’s 1975 recording of “Madama Butterfly” and sang “Un bel di” on the Italian RAI television network with the NATO band.

After retiring from the stage to raise

a family, Walker continued to sing across naval bases in Europe and the United States as a soloist with her husband, Navy band leader, pianist and composer Barney Walker. In 1998, the couple moved back to the Chicago area where Walker created and directed the St. Joan of Arc parish children’s choir in Lisle and taught voice students at home.

Sacred music was a lifelong love for Walker, a devout Roman Catholic.

She was proud to be the first woman ever asked to cantor at her home parish after Vatican II (Visitation Church in Elmhurst) and most recently had served as a cantor and chorister at St. Irene’s Church in Warrenville. Of all of her international performances, Ms. Walker was most proud to have sung Schubert’s “Ave Maria” at the convent and in the presence of Sr. Lúcia, visionary of Our Lady of Fatima.

After successfully seeking relief from fibromyalgia from Tong Ren

Therapy founder Tom Tam, Walker became a Tong Ren therapist and made a mission of offering healing and hope to others through Chi Gong.

She hosted a weekly televised Tong Ren therapy session that was an inspiration to many.

Walker is survived by her husband of over 39 years, Barney; by her sons Robert (Erin) and Douglas (Robin); and by her sisters Judy and Bonnie (James), brothers Gary (Paula) and Dennis and by niece Jennifer (Mike), nephews Dave (Katie), Eric (Bailey) and Alex and great-nieces Annie and Molly and great-nephews Jack, Ryne and Finn.

Mass of the Resurrection was celebrated on September 22, 2016, at St. Irene’s Catholic Church, 28W441 Warrenville Rd., Warrenville.

We lost doctors, prescription coverage, and access to the specialists at the teaching hospitals in Chicago.

The ACA promised to lower costs.

In 2017, the silver plan we have will increase 45% from $18,000 to $26,000. Next year our insurance will be almost double, what we paid prior to the government getting involved in making it “affordable.”

Like millions of others, we don’t receive a subsidy for our insurance; instead, we have paid over $2,000 in taxes on our premiums in the last three years. Our policies in the past never included a tax. Under the ACA, if we don’t buy insurance, we are fined; if we do buy insurance, we

are taxed.

The ACA promised financial protection. Up until 2016, every insurance plan I had limited our out-ofpocket expenses. Now our family out of network deductible is $45,000 with no cap on the out-of-pocket expenses at all. Under the ACA, we are left more vulnerable to bankruptcy then we have ever been.

We have suffered through cancelled plans, broken websites, broken promises and Washington inaction to fix the mess they created.

We are left with an inferior plan that lacks bankruptcy protection, offers a much-narrower network and most of all, it is unaffordable.

MAKING A GOOD IMPRESSION

According to a survey that showed pictures of individuals with and without by treatment Jeffreyto T. Boland of dental a cross-section Licensedthe Orthodontic Americans, majority ofSpecialist respondents said that a beautiful smile made people look more intelligent, successful, and wealthy. From both a social and business standpoint, these are desirable qualities that anyone would want to have working for them. With this in mind, it is no accident that increasing numbers of adults are turning to orthodontists for treatment that corrects tooth and jaw irregularities, which may have previously detracted from their smiles and hindered their personal desires and business ambitions. If adults are selfconscious about their smiles, they should avail themselves of the same treatment that benefits younger patients.

Braces aren’t just for kids anymore.

Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. If left untreated, crooked teeth can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss.

By addressing orthodontic problems early, some can be reduced in severity or even eliminated. To schedule a free orthodontic consultation, please call our office, Straighter Smiles Are Our Specialty!

If you heard a loud blast last Friday afternoon, here’s what happened: According to City officials, scheduled rock blasting was performed at the Elmhurst Quarry on Friday, September 16 at 4:25 p.m. Ludwig Explosives, a contractor who has been hired by the City of Elmhurst, performed the scheduled rock blasting in conjunction with the Walnut/ Myrtle/ Evergreen Stormwater Improvement Project. The contractor sounded a series of horns in the minutes leading up to the actual blast.

While the blast itself lasted only a few seconds, the loud sounds may have been noticed by anyone who was close to the area.

Nybo appointed Senate Republican Spokesman to Executive Committee

Illinois Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno has appointed Senator Chris Nybo (R-Lombard) to replace Senator Matt Murphy as Republican Spokesman on the Senate Executive Committee. Radogno made the appointment as part of a series of leadership changes resulting from Senator Murphy’s resignation that took effect last week.

“This committee, comprised of Senate leadership from both sides of the aisle, tackles some of the most controversial and complicated matters before the legislature,” said Radogno. “We will be leaning on Senator Nybo to help formulate and articulate our caucus positions.”

Having also served in the Illinois House, Nybo is serving his first term in the Senate.

“I am humbled by the opportunity to serve in this role for our team,” he said. “I look forward to working with all committee members to find common ground that resolves our budget impasse, improves our economy, and gets Illinois back on the right track.”

Nybo’s appointment takes effect immediately.

Bethel youth take mission trip to Biloxi, Miss.

Submitted by Linda Lyman BETHEL UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST

In late July, 28 youth and adults from Bethel United Church of Christ in Elmhurst traveled to Biloxi, Miss., on the Bethel Youth Group’s annual mission trip. Going by train to New Orleans, they spent their first night at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, attending worship there the next morning. The remainder of the day was spent taking in the sights, sounds and tastes of The Crescent City while meeting its friendly people, ready to tell their stories.

Arriving in Biloxi the next day, the group spent the remainder of the week working at Back Bay Mission, a United Church of Christ community ministry founded in 1922. Back Bay Mission serves the poor and marginalized of the Mississippi Gulf Coast through a variety of ministries which include its Micah Day Center, its client-choice food pantry, the Loaves and Fishes soup kitchen that feeds 100 people daily, and its housing rehabilitation ministry, which helps low-income families stay in their homes by making necessary renovations and repairs. Back Bay Mission’s goal is to empower and equip people to make their way out of poverty.

The Bethel group was warmly welcomed by the Back Bay staff and quickly got to work. Some members had the opportunity to serve at the day center, the soup kitchen and the food pantry. They were touched by the dedicated staff and the clients, who were willing to share their stories and to work along with staff and volunteers to serve others.

Group members were also involved in rehabbing a home. Back Bay is passionate about buying homes in foreclosure and repairing

them properly to create affordable and quality housing. They educate buyers on home ownership and maintenance and provide financial counseling. The homes are offered on a lease-to-own program; the pride families feel in home ownership helps strengthen the entire community.

In the heat and humidity of a Mississippi summer, the Bethel group painted, caulked and re-sided a home and made other repairs. , remarked that “These kids know how to paint walls and ceilings, install shelving, use power saws, drills and nail guns, side a house, paint a house, take down a ceiling fan and install a ceiling fan, and caulk the entire outside of a house,” said Jenny Pozen, Bethel’s Director of Christian Education and Youth Ministries. “We (parents) must remember this when we ask them to take out the garbage. They are extremely capable of anything!”

But the trip was not all work. The group also enjoyed a ping-pong competition in the midst of the 2016 Olympics, do-it-yourself slip and slides on the grass during a Mississippi downpour, attending a memorable, joyful, spirit-filled Baptist revival, singing the song “10,000 Reasons” together each night, and sharing roses and thorns (the best and worst parts of the day) every evening with fellow workers.

The trip ended memorably when the train back to Chicago broke down in Memphis during the night.

After waiting in hot train cars for hours, word came that there would be no train to Chicago until sometime the next day. Luckily, group leaders were able to locate and rent vans to complete the journey home.

Once at home, the group shared

A group of York alumni have started the process of forming an association that will be known as the York Community High School Alumni Association (YCHSAA). The mission of the YCHSAA will be to serve and support York High School and its alumni by fostering and enhancing communication and camaraderie among alumni; maintaining a strong relationship between the school and its alumni; preserving, promoting, and celebrating the history, traditions, and memories of York; and contributing to the growth and welfare of York and its students. It is hoped the Association will be formally established sometime in 2017, in advance of the school’s centennial celebration in 2018.

The YCHSAA will be free to join and will not have any dues. The Association will be open to all those who attended York as regular members and to friends of York as associate members. Benefits will include being able to participate in Association events and receiving an electronic newsletter with alumni and current York updates.

Those interested in joining the YCHSAA can do so by visiting the York alumni website at elmhurst205. org/alumni and clicking on the “update your personal information” button. Further information and updates on the York Alumni Association may also be found there. Plan to stop by the white Alumni Tent, located just inside the gate, at Friday’s Homecoming game.

In Her Own Right: Marion Mahony Griffin

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

To say that Marion Mahony Griffin was a pioneer in her field is an understatement. Terms like “force of nature” or “trailblazer” are more fitting to describe a woman—the first registered architect in the state of Illinois and the second woman to earn an architecture degree from MIT— who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with PAUL DELGUIDICE PHOTOS Elmhurst Independent her male peers in the vaunted Prairie School of Architecture led by the inimitable Frank Lloyd Wright.

Though Wright and Griffin’s husDuPage County Board member Pete DiCianni is flanked by Talkie Trot founder Phyllis Kupperman (left) and Center for Speech and Lan- band, Walter Burley Griffin, may be guage Disorders (CSLD) Executive Director Lynn Kozak at the An- more familiar to those who know about American architecture, it is nual Family Fun Walk held at Berens Park on Sunday, Sept. 18. the often-unheralded design work by Marion that became the distinct hallmark of the Prairie School through detailed renderings of such masterpieces as Unity Temple in Oak Park and the Plan for Canberra in Australia. Mahony Griffin was one of Wright’s first employees in the legendary Oak Park studio, and she proved to be ahead of her time in her ideas and innovative drawing style that integrated the natural environment into the design process.

For many years, Marion Mahony Griffin’s story went untold as the spotlight shone on men like Louis Sullivan, Wright, and others. Her story is now being brought to light

with a new exhibit presented by the Elmhurst History Museum entitled “In Her Own Right: Marion Mahony Griffin.” The exhibit opens October 7, 2016, and remains through March 12, 2017, bringing Mahony Griffin’s own story out of the shadows as the brilliant architect, talented artist, avid environmentalist and social activist that she was.

The exhibit traces Mahony Griffin’s early life, her personal and professional partnership with her husband on three continents, her final years in Chicago where she died in obscurity and penniless—and considers the legacy of a Chicagoan of immense but often overlooked importance.

Telling Marion’s story According to information provided by the Elmhurst History Museum, the Griffins may be better known in Australia than they are in the U.S., due to the years they spent there working on the elaborate Plan for Canberra—an impressive international contest-winning design created for the country’s capital city—and the town of Castlecrag, an idyllic community near Sydney that assimilated architecture into the natural landscape. It was only fitting that the Museum turned to Dr. Anna Rubbo, Ph.D., an Australian native and an adjunct senior scholar at the Center for Sustainable Urban Development at Columbia University and a former associate professor of architecture, design and planning at the University of Sydney, for development of the exhibit content.

Rubbo has researched, published, and lectured extensively on Marion Mahony Griffin—a woman she feels has not been given the credit she deserves in architecture history.

Lance Tawzer, Elmhurst History Museum’s curator of exhibits, shared his rationale for telling Marion’s story now.

“Anna Rubbo brings a special perspective to this story as a scholar, an architect, and an Australian, and she was very enthusiastic about partnering with us on this project,” he said.

“We were drawn to doing this exhibit because it seemed unfair that Marion’s story had not yet been told without being put in a box with Walter Burley Griffin and Frank Lloyd Wright.

“When we started to pursue this story a few years ago, it was because of Walter’s relationship to Elmhurst where his parent’s lived and he designed three homes and the Elmhurst Golf Club’s clubhouse. But as we

dug further, we realized the unique story here was Marion’s and we felt it was time to give her the accolades she deserves. With Anna Rubbo’s scholarship and research, I believe we are able to tell a compelling story that people need to know more about.

“What I hope people take away from this exhibit is an understanding that this is a woman who has earned a place in history, a woman with vision and talent who dared to have a career in a field dominated by men. Mahony Griffin is certainly a role model for all of us today to look up to, and I believe by experiencing this exhibit our visitors will have a greater respect for her importance in history.”

Exhibit Highlights In the exhibit, Rubbo tells Marion’s story through a number of themes including early childhood life and influences, her years at MIT, her early professional career in Wright’s Oak Park studio, her personal and professional partnership with Walter, their years abroad in Australia and India, and her return to the U.S. and late career. The Elmhurst History Museum staff brings these details to life through a number of loaned photos and materials including: Two of Mahony Griffin’s “Forest Portraits” (private collector); Illustrations from the Mary and Leigh Block Museum in Evanston; Rare photographs from the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust, National Library of Australia, Walter Burley Griffin Society, Oak Park Public Library, and others; A model of Mahony Griffin’s first major commission, All Soul’s Church in Evanston, loaned by Griffin scholar Paul Kruty.

‘Schoolmarm’ set to play role at upcoming Fall Open House

By Marisa Mancini FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Jesse Sekiya portrays 1910 schoolmarm Arliegh Wheeler at Churchville’s one-room schoolhouse as part of a “living history program.” Through this program, Elmhurst students who visit the schoolhouse get a greater understanding of how children were educated in the early 20th century.

Sekiya is set to star in her role at the upcoming Fall Open House on Saturday, Oct. 1 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Churchville Schoolhouse located at 3N784 Church Road in Bensenville. Hosted by the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation, the public is invited to an afternoon of music, history, and fun activities amid the quaint charm of the one-room school.

Every effort is made to best replicate a small slice of a day in the life of a student in 1910 in Sekiya’s presentation.

“We have documents including

class rosters and schedules of what the schoolhouse kids were doing on a daily basis,” she said. “It’s amazing to watch the transformation that takes place in the children once they enter the schoolhouse.

When I ring the bell, my demeanor changes. I go from Jesse to the strict Arliegh Wheeler and the children go from modern day kids to early 20th century school children.”

The children are advised of the rules of the schoolhouse. They must be quiet unless they are spoken to first; they must raise their hand before speaking; they cannot interrupt while someone is speaking. The students also learn about the punishments for breaking the rules.

“The kids are always fascinated by the punishments which include standing in the corner, sitting on a stool in front of the entire class, putting their nose in a chalkboard circle and holding their arms in

front of them, sometimes while holding books.”

The curriculum consists of three lessons - arithmetic, penmanship, and reading. Sekiya reads word problems from a period book, which contains the same math lesson students in 1910 would have used. The children use slates and chalk to write down their answers and are told that paper was too expensive to use in 1910.

During the penmanship lesson, which includes instruction in proper posture, the children encounter cursive writing -- probably for the first time.

They learn to write letters and some words. In the reading lesson, the children participate in recitation, where a child stands up and reads out loud to the entire class.

The children read from McGuffie readers, the standard reader used all over the country in 1910.

Throughout the lessons, Sekiya jumps back and forth comparing

and contrasting modern-day learning with early 20th-century education. She explains that the schoolhouse took in children from 1st to 8th grade but the age range would have been from 6 to 16 years old because some children were farmers and had to work instead of attending school, which put them behind in their education. The environment and the lessons are different from anything modern children have ever experienced before.

“We live in such a technological age that this is a way of life is so foreign to the kids,” stated Sekiya.

“The kids ask, ‘Where is the lunch lady?’ and ‘Who is the principal?’

They are amazed that the schoolmarm does it all.

“They are also shocked that there is no indoor plumbing, electricity or air conditioning despite the fact that they have most likely read about these conditions in books, or have seen it on TV or in movies. It really hits them when

they are sitting in the building and they leave with a new appreciation for their teachers and all the modern conveniences they have at their school.”

She also believe that the experience sparks their interest to learn more about history.

“If it prompts a child to learn more about this time period, I’ve done my job.”

Sekiya has received numerous handwritten cards from students saying how much they enjoyed the experience and how much they want to come back.

Children will have the opportunity to visit the Churchville oneroom schoolhouse, along with friends and family, on Saturday, October 1. Festivities will include live music by the Battlefield Balladeers, folk dancing lead by the schoolmarm, vintage crafts, old fashioned games, and songs performed by the Conrad Fischer Singers.

Local church makes housing for homeless a priority This year St Peter’s United Church of Christ in Elmhurst has taken action against homelessness in both DuPage County and beyond.

Back in February, 28 members of St. Peter’s UCC traveled to

Macon, Georgia, to work with the Fuller Center for Housing to transform a bank-foreclosed house into a residence for a local Macon family. The Fuller Center for Housing is a non-profit, ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to elimi-

nating poverty housing worldwide.

By forming partnerships with local organizations, the Fuller Center provides the structure, guidance and support that communities need to build and repair homes for the impoverished among them.

To work against homelessness here in DuPage County, St. Peter’s is working with Bridge Communities to help a homeless family complete a transition plan towards residence in a home. Three St. Peter’s members work as mentors to this family by providing guidance and support as they work through the Bridge program.

Bob Walgen and Mark Milligan formed Bridge Communities in 1988 with the idea of developing a transition path for homeless families to self-sufficiency. The concept was to partner with faith-based and community action groups and businesses to provide mentoring, housing, and supportive services.

Needless to say, it was met with skepticism at the time, but now 28 years later, Bridge Communities has become a regional and national leader in serving to needs of home-

For many years, St. Peter’s has worked with the DuPage Public Action to Deliver Shelter (PADS) organization. In partnership with Elmhurst Presbyterian Church, St. Peter’s UCC and other Elmhurst churches provide staffing, food and support to help in the effort to reduce the DuPage County Homeless problem. DuPage PADs, founded in 1985, is the County’s largest provider of interim and permanent housing to help individuals work toward becoming self-sufficient.

St Peter’s St. Peter’s United Church of Christ located at 125 W. Church Street, has always been a community, which puts its faith into action. Learn more about the church and how St. Peter’s changes lives at stpeterselmhurst.org or by calling 630-530-6000 or “Like” the church on facebook.

Her photographs have been published in The Nation, La Raza, Dissent magazine, In These Times and Gapers Block.

Ruzicka also serves as co-chair on the Board of Directors of Chicago Fair Trade, the largest local fair trade organization in the U.S. She is an Elmhurst College alumna (Class of 2006), earning her bachelor’s degree in political science and intercultural studies, and the Founders Award for Service to Community in 2006.

Illinoisans fleeing for states with lower costs, better jobs

“

ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK

The advantages that Chicago historically had are now shared by many of its competitors.”

– Joel Kotkin, Center for Opportunity Urbanism Executive Director

A study of the most recent IRS data shows that Illinois may be losing more people than nearly any other state and in nearly every demographic.

Center for Opportunity Urbanism Executive Director Joel Kotkin said his report on outmigration shows Illinois is hemorrhaging people of all ages and incomes, second only to New York. Kotkin said the common factors in where Illinoisans end up are the lower cost of living and jobs.

“What was striking about Illinois is the tremendous imbalance between people coming and people leaving in virtually every category,” he said. “It’s losing to places like Texas, like Florida, which offers a less-expensive alternative. But you’re also seeing your neighboring states siphon off working-age people in high numbers.”

Kotkin also said companies are following workers out of Illinois.

“If you’re Toyota, are you really going to move to Chicago? Probably

not. You’re likely going to choose Dallas, which has the same logistical advantages and much lower costs.”

Chicago’s superior transportation and amenities are no longer exclusive to the Second City, according to Kotkin.

“The advantages that Chicago historically had are now shared by many of its competitors. You can run a global business from Dallas just as easily as you can from Chicago.”

While Kotkin said some “blue” states like Oregon have gained a

New law restricts public officials’ use of tax money on entertainment, travel

ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK

Some egregious examples of local officials using taxpayer dollars for entertainment and travel expenses

has led to a new law that restricts the use of tax money for certain nongovernment activities.

A measure signed by Gov. Bruce

FREE Lifeline Service Available for Income-Eligible Residents If you participate in public assistance programs or meet monthly income level guidelines, you may qualify for a free phone* & 250 minutes/texts.

Free phone is provided by Access Wireless. Access Wireless is a service provider for the government-funded Lifeline Assistance program. Lifeline assistance is provided by i-wireless LLC, d/b/a Access Wireless, an eligible telecommunications carrier. Lifeline service is non-transferable. Lifeline benefits are limited to one per household.

A household is defined, for the purposes of the Lifeline program, as any individual or group of individuals, who live together at the same address and share income and expenses. Violation of the one-per-household rule constitutes violation of FCC rules and will result in the customer’s de-enrollment from Lifeline. Only eligible customers may enroll in the program. Consumers who willfully make false statements in order to obtain a Lifeline benefit can be punished by fine, imprisonment, or can be barred from the program. Customers must present proper documentation proving eligibility for the Lifeline program. Your information will be validated against public records and any discrepancies could result in delays or denial of service.

Rauner completely prohibits local government officials from using taxpayer dollars for entertainment expenses.

State Rep. David McSweeney (R-Dist. 52) said the measure he advanced through the General Assembly also requires extra scrutiny on travel expenses. “And there’s no reason that government officials should spend money on entertainment, and they certainly should be very limited, and it has to be justified and subject to a public roll call by a vote if they’re going to spend money on meals, travel and lodging.”

Edgar County Watchdogs cofounder Kirk Allen said he has found examples of this kind of spending

going unchecked in several layers of government, from community college presidents to even state’s attorneys.

“It’s not just at the lower local levels. It’s all the way up to the very enforcers of our laws,” Allen said.

The measure could help restore public trust and keep property taxes from increasing.

Allen said the spending in question and a lack of oversight from boards and councils weakens public trust rapidly.

“It’s compounded by malfeasance by these very elected officials as well.”

The measure takes effect Jan. 1, 2017.

number of people due to the relatively low cost of living compared with neighboring California, the states gaining the most wealthy, working age people are traditionally low-tax, business-friendly states like Texas, Florida, the Carolinas, Tennessee and North Dakota.

Midwest Traveler

A Special Advertising Section

The Great River State Trail is in Wisconsin’s scenic Coulee Region, part of the Driftless Area that was untouched by glaciers during the last Ice Age. Visitors to the Great River trail will enjoy the changing wetlands of the Mississippi River backwaters, 500foot bluffs, hardwood forests, unique sand prairies and oak savannahs.

COURTESY PHOTO The Independent

Explore the Great River State Trail The Mississippi isn’t the only river focus along the Great River State Trail. It bridges 18 streams and channels coursing their way to the Mighty Mississippi. These crossings and surrounding wetlands are havens for wildlife. Deer are often seen in the cool shade even at mid-day. The Black River forms a maze of channels that herons and egrets love. Interconnecting links to over 101 miles of state trails.

In the sleepy river town of Trempealeau you can watch tugboats finesse 400-foot-long barges through lock and dam No. 6. Nearby, Perrot State Park is a scenic wonder. In ancient times, its soaring bluffs were isolated from those on the western shore when torrents of glacial meltwater changed the river’s course.

It became a natural landmark for people from the sophisticated Native American Hopewell culture of 2,000 years ago, to the French explorer Nicholas Perrot in 1685. Just south of trails-end at Marshland, you can tour the Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge, a 5,600-acre riverside home for migratory waterfowl, herons, egrets and resident bald eagles.

You’ll agree, it’s a great river and a great place to be.

Follow Hwy. 35 to the eastern edge of Trempealeau. There, on the west side of the road, you will find a well-marked parking lot and large

Three ways to do good on a road trip (StatePoint) Many Americans are rethinking typical vacation goals of relaxing and having fun by undertaking something a bit less conventional: doing something good for the world.

Away from school, work and daily responsibilities, a road trip can be a perfect opportunity for giving back to the community.

257530

257533

257531

Motoring for a Cause Look for organizations or brands hosting fun fundraising or volunteer events for a good cause. For example, hunger affects families and communities nationwide, but some road trippers are helping in the fight

to defy hunger.

Every other year, a rally takes place called “MINI Takes the States,” whereby MINI owners explore the backroads, curves and hidden gems of America. The rally supports Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization and its network of 200 food banks and 60,000 local food pantries and meal programs.

A portion of each registration fee is donated to Feeding America and a food collection takes place each morning of the rally. Participants are also encouraged to start fundraising pages online and spread the word to friends and family to contribute

Campground Area-Resort Lodging-Dining Hall-Swimming Pool-Exercise Room

In the beautiful Ozark Mountains of Southern-Central Missouri.

Picturesque ranch with crystal clear spring fed streams, forest, massive bluffs, large caves, some so large that you can ride your horse into them

Over 150 miles of trails and roads privately owned

How You Can Give Back You too can turn your road trip into an opportunity to do good.

Whether the great outdoors is your ultimate destination, or you’re passing parks on your route to another adventure, consider taking some time for a park clean-up. Hit the trail in a national, state or local park. Bring along some gloves and plastic bags.

As you enjoy your hike, stop and pick up litter -- which is not only an eyesore, but a hazard to wildlife and the ecosystem. You can time your visit with a scheduled volunteer opportunity or just do it yourself.

Walking tours are one way to explore a destination. A perhaps more valuable way is to engage with its residents meaningfully. At your destination, consider volunteering with Feeding America or with a local food pantry.

The mark of a great vacation can come in many forms. Consider a different kind of road trip.

Pick-your-own harvest: Apples and pumpkins

When leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, it’s time to take advantage of Iowa’s fall harvest of apples, pumpkins and gourds. Visit Iowa for pick-your-own fall fun many also feature hayrides, corn mazes and more outdoor harvest activities.

Walk among the trees, sip cider and take home a basket of Iowagrown apples. With more than 40 orchards open to the public, you’ll find Honeycrisps, Chieftains and Jonathans everywhere you travel. Visit idalsdata.org for a list of locations.

Indiana Wine Trail Fall Haul runs November 6 and 7

The Indiana Wine Trail in Southeast Indiana will host their annual Fall Haul Event on Saturday, November 6 and Sunday, November 7. Only this time, instead of pairing wine and food, the wine is part of the food.

They’ll be serving wine sauces, wine tapas, and even wine cake (sounds a little like Dr. Seuss there).

The different wineries along the Indiana Wine Trail are using this event to showcase their wines through food tastings. But visitors along the trail will be able to get the recipes as well as special discounts on their wines.

The wine and food tastings will be free, but you may purchase larger portions.

The Indiana Wine Trail is made up of six wineries — Thomas Family Winery, Lanthier Winery, Madison Vineyards, Ertel Cellars, StreamCliff Farm Winery and The Ridge Winery — along and around the Ohio River Scenic Byway.

For more information, visit the Indiana Wine Trail or Switzerland County Tourism.

IC Catholic Prep football team moves to 4-0 with 72-0 rout of Chicago Christian York gridders lose to Hinsdale Central; Dukes’ boys cross-country team victorious

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

York girls cross-country team strong in two recent invitationals May leads way for Dukes

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York girls cross-country team fared well in a pair of recent invitationals.

The Dukes placed third at the St. Charles East invitational and also took third at the Lake Park invitational.

Sophomore standout Sarah May took fourth at St. Charles East and was 10th at Lake Park.

“We had a ton of girls set personal records at Lake Park,” said York coach Lauren DeAngelis. “We’re progressing at a really even pace.

We’re focused on pack running as a team and we’re consistently getting stronger and improving in races. It’s a good group of girls character-wise, which definitely makes them very coachable.”

Freshman runner Maya Curry has been a key addition to the Dukes.

“She’s been a consistent fourth or fifth runner for us,” said DeAngelis.

“She took fourth at Lake Park for us and was fifth at St. Charles. She’s been right up there.”

DeAngelis noted the early-season performances has given the group a boost. “There is some early confidence after seeing them race,” she said. “One of our goals is to perform better at conference and that’s something we’re definitely focusing on at all levels. Last year we were fourth

and that’s not where we want to be. I think we can compete with Hinsdale Central for second place. Glenbard West is really good right now.”

DeAngelis also has been pleased with May’s efforts. “Sarah is doing well, but I don’t think we’ve seen the best from her this season yet.”

At St. Charles East, Erin Davies took second, while Katherine Tomaska was third. That same pairing was second and third at Lake Park.

Seniors Julie Biggins and Bridget Berger round out the top six runners for York.

“We have good upper-class leadership and we also have some individuals who are getting good experience on the varsity team,” said

We’re coming together as a team and we’re racing better as a team. We’re keeping the momentum moving forward.”

The IC Catholic Prep cross-country teams had success at their own 13-team invitational at Plunkett Park in Elmhurst.

On the boys side, Eric James took 13th with a time of 17:25.9, while Casey Kristie took 21st in 17:42.6.

“The ‘Dynamic Duo’ had another outstanding race against a strong field of runners from Leyden, Montini and Notre Dame,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Jeff Fredrickson, referring to James and Kristie.

Earlier, Kristie finished fifth in a meet against Westmont, while James placed sixth.

“Eric and Casey have been working real hard and it is paying off,” Fredrickson added. “They are becoming more confident with each race as they see that they can keep pace with stronger competition.”

Tony Gaudio finished in 48th place in 20:15.2 at the invitational, while Jacob Schmidt was 53rd in 20:30.1. Nico Gaudio was 56th in 21:15.2 and Fabian Perez finished 57th with a time of 22:04.1.

On the girls side, newcomer Julissa Unzueta finished 17th with a time of 23:11.2 and Anna Genduso ran 28:47.6.

In other earlier competition, IC Catholic Prep ran in the Charleston invitational on the grounds of Eastern Illinois University.

18:03.1, while James was 54th with a time of 18:18.5.

“Casey had a strong performance,” said Fredrickson. “Casey and Eric ran against some tough competition and boosted their confidence with this meet.”

Nico Gaudio was 81st with a time of 20:53.2. Howard Huang was 82nd with a time of 21:05.1. Jacobs Schmidt finished 83rd with a time of 21:06. Perez was 87th with a time of 21:54.1 and Dominic Gaudio was 88th with a time of 22:55.1.

IC Catholic Prep boys soccer While the IC Catholic Prep boys soccer team dropped three recent contests, coach Javier Andrade was pleased with how his players performed against larger-school competition.

The Knights dropped a 7-1 nonconference game to nearby neighbor York and also lost a non-conference 8-2 decision to Niles Notre Dame.

IC Catholic Prep also lost a Metro Suburban Conference crossover game to Riverside-Brookfield by a 6-1 count.

“Our young team played hard but when your players are freshmen and have to face opposition that are mainly seniors, it’s tough,” said Andrade. “We’ve also been facing Class 2A and 3A soccer schools.”

Alex Meurer had IC Catholic Prep’s goal against York. Meurer and goalie Zen Tverdokhlib each had penalty-kick goals in the game against Notre Dame, while Meurer had a goal against R-B. Andrade also lauded the play of defender Kris Askew in the three games. “Christopher played solid in all three games,” he said. “I also liked the passing and support of my freshmen Thomas Sloan, William Russ, David Perez and Liam Reilly.”

Timothy Christian girls cross-country team second at MSC preconference meet

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Timothy Christian girls crosscountry team gave itself a nice boost by finishing second at the recent Metro Suburban Conference preconference meet held in Elmwood Park.

Olivia Reamer took third in the race with a time of 21:26. Hope Clark was sixth in 21:40, while Annika Ward was ninth in 22:01. Elise Terpstra was 13th at 22:35 and Jill Forgac was 21st in 25:29.

“Olivia is a sophomore and is beginning to realize how good she can be,” said Timothy Christian coach Dick Zylstra. “Hope (freshman) is in her first season of competitive running and is learning fast. Junior transfer Annika Ward has emerged as a quietly positive leader. Our top four runners (Reamer, Clark, Terpstra and Ward) are showing the potential to be quite good.”

The key, Zylstra noted, is to find that fifth score. “We are working on our need to get a fifth runner closer to the top four,” he said. “If we can continue to improve our one through four runners and find a fifth, we may have a shot at qualifying for state.”

Timothy Christian boys cross country The Timothy Christian boys crosscountry team edged Walther Christian for second place at the recent MSC pre-conference meet in Elmwood Park.

“Depth was the difference,” said Zylstra. “We had a solid team effort.”

The Trojans placed five runners in the top 14. Will Terpstra was fifth in 17:21. Clint Fincher was seventh with a time of 17:24, while Tommy Troxel was eighth in 17:40. Matt Fox was ninth in 17:59 and Andy Mittlestaedt was 14th in 18:40.

“Like the girls we have too big a gap right now between our fourth and fifth runners,” said Zylstra. “I am confident we have the depth and the commitment to be able to get that accomplished.”

Zylstra noted that depth and improvement of the runners on the roster has made for a good one-two punch. “Will Terpstra has really been solid,” he said.

“His summer training has paid big dividends so far. Clint Fincher is a newcomer and is learning how to race very quickly and has been huge for us. Seniors Tommy Troxel and Matt Fox have shown positive leadership and Andy Mittlestaedt and Xavier Ross have been making significant strides in those fifth and sixth spots.”

Timothy is coming off a state appearance last season. “I’m feeling good about this group,” said Zylstra.

“We qualified for state last year and we have our solid core back with a couple good additions.”

The Trojans head to Aurora Central Catholic for races on Saturday.

The IC Catholic Prep golf team continues to steamroll ahead.

The Knights notched three more recent wins to run their dual-meet record to a perfect 9-0 on the season.

IC Catholic Prep scored a 151178 non-conference win over Lisle at Cog Hill No. 3 in Lemont.

Experience and team camaraderie fueling IC Catholic Prep golf team

Hoffman was the meet medalist with a 39. Morris shot 40, while Hurt had a 43 and Simonides finished with a 44.

“This was a very good week for the team,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Don Sujack. “Our scores, for the most part, were in the range we expect and we had seven different players contribute scores.”

Sujack noted the team is benefiting from contributions up and down the roster as opposed to just the top part of the scorecard—specifically lauding the recent efforts of John Hoffman, Simonides, Michael Hoffman and Schoonveld.

“Trey, Maddie and Connon are all playing quite well, continuing where they left off last year,” he said.

“What has changed is John Hoffman and Troy Simonides are challenging for medalist in every match, while

Week 5 Preview Willowbrook (2-2) at York (1-3)

Knights off to fabulous start thanks to depth on lineup card

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The IC Catholic Prep golf team has benefitted from a veteran and talented roster this season to the tune of a 9-0 start in dual matches.

But for Connon Leahy, one of the Knights’ top performers, there is another ingredient that comes into play.

“The team chemistry has been really good all year,” he said. “We’ve all been sticking together and sticking to the game plan. We’re all very positive. If someone has a bad hole, they come back and they keep the round together. Most importantly, we’re having fun together. We love being out there with each other and we love playing golf. It’s a great group. Given the fact we’re all very good friends on and off the course, it’s just going out and playing golf and competing with your buddies. We try and make each other better. That helps with the camaraderie. We’ve become better friends through golf and that’s helped each of us get better and it’s helped the team get better.”

Leahy, who medaled for the Knights in two recent meets, said it also doesn’t hurt that IC Catholic Prep has the amount of experience it does on the roster. “Trey (Morris), John (Hoffman), Maddie (Hurt) and Troy Simonides all are seniors,” he said. “Myself, Michael Hoffman, Charlie (Schoonveld), Charlie O’Brien and Jake DeWitte are juniors.

There are a lot of upperclassmen on the team and that helps out.”

Leahy added that experience comes in handy in dealing with and providing motivation for the team’s near-misses in recent years.

“We’ve had some heartbreak the last few years,” he said. “It’s been frustrating that we didn’t get down to state the last two years. We’ve regrouped and we’re making a push toward the state tournament.

We want to get to the state tournament at the end of the season. We have the potential to do that. We knew from the start that we had a very special group here. It’s probably one of the most special teams that IC’s had. At the beginning of the season, if someone would have told us we’d be 9-0, none of us would have been surprised. We’re all capable and we know if we compete the way we should that things like this will happen. We will keep competing and we will keep getting better. We have the opportunity to do something that hasn’t been done before. From the start, the goal has been to get downstate.

We’re going to play our hearts out and try and make that happen here.”

Leahy also took time to reflect on his and the team’s thoughts on saying good-bye to Hurt, the defending Class A girls state champion and Northern Illinois University recruit who plays in her final IC Catholic Prep boys match this week before doing her annual transition into the girls postseason tournaments.

“It’s been really good for all of us playing with Maddie,” he said.

“She has a good game and most importantly she has a great attitude and that helps this team. She never gets frustrated out there. If she has a bad hole, she will come right back and make an up-and-down or a birdie and gets her round back in sync. Seeing that kind of attitude helps all of us. You have to have a short memory in golf. If you have a bad round or make a mistake, you have to come back and do better.

That’s what golf is all about and she is really good at that.”

Michael and Charlie are consistently posting scores. This is a hungry and motivated group.”

IC Catholic Prep wraps up the dual-meet portion of its schedule today at Oak Brook Golf Club. The team will honor Hurt, a four-year varsity veteran and defending girls Class A state champion.

Hurt, due to IC Catholic Prep not having a girls golf team, plays with the boys team during the regular season and then competes in the MSC girls tournament and the IHSA girls state series.

“We all are going to tee off and play with pink golf balls and perhaps wear pink shirts in a salute to Maddie playing in her final boys match,” said Sujack. “She’s played in every match from Day 1, and given her accomplishments, it warrants our team marking the event.”

When: Friday, 7:30 p.m.

Where: York High School, Elmhurst Last week: Hinsdale South 30, Willowbrook 27; Hinsdale Central 35, York 7 Last year: York 24, Willowbrook 7 Outlook: This is one of those fork-in-the road-type matchups.

A win will give one of these teams good momentum heading into the final four weeks of the season in the pursuit of either becoming playoff eligible with five wins or earning an automatic berth with six wins. Willowbrook had a two-game winning streak snapped after a three-point loss to defending conference-champion Hinsdale South. York is coming off a pair of West Suburban Conference Silver Division losses to defending state-champion Glenbard West and Hinsdale Central.

their game plan as the match went on and they were the clinchers,” said Heimann.

In earlier conference action, York dropped a hard-fought 4-3 WSC Silver decision to Oak Park-River Forest.

Melissa and Cate have really stepped in and done a nice job at the No. 1 and No. 2 singles spots,” said Heimann. “They are very seasoned for freshmen.”

Nicoli and Fonorow were 6-1, 6-3

winners at No. 4 doubles. “Isabella and Lauren really controlled the net in their victory,” said Heimann.

York’s four losses in the duals all came in three sets.

Through late last week, Jessica Paist, Duhig, Shaw and Jovic were tied for the team lead with eight wins each. Cartis, Alex Hennessy and Nicoli each had seven wins.

Allison Stramel, Mei Giuffre, Mazzocco, Riek and Fonorow each had six victories.
