Flying high at District 45 Fest

FOR THE INDEPENDENT

Late Sunday afternoon, the Independent learned that former Illinois State Representative Sandra Pihos, a Republican from Glen Ellyn, had been arrested by the Lombard Police Department for alleged retail theft on Tuesday, Sept. 26. According to circuit court files, Pihos stands accused of stealing three items of women’s clothing valued at $571 from the Von Maur store located at Yorktown Center, a shopping mall in Lombard.

Pihos was released after posting a $1,500 bond, according to court files.

After serving in the General Assembly from 2003 to 2015, Pihos, 71, lost a bid for re-election in the Republican primary. After that, she ran for the Board of Trustees at College of DuPage (C.O.D.), but lost to Elmhurst resident Deanne Mazzochi as well as Frank Napolitano and Charles Bernstein, who had formed the “clean slate candidates,” running jointly for three seats. According to the Election Commission, Pihos lost by less than 1 percentage point — fewer than 2,000 votes.

During her time in office, Pihos was appointed to serve on several committees, including the Consumer Protection Committee. Additionally, Pihos was named Illinois Legislator of the Year four times by the Western DuPage Special Recreation Association.

Pihos is scheduled to appear at 9 a.m. Nov. 3 at the DuPage County Courthouse in Wheaton.

The Four C Notes to perform holiday dinner concert The Four C Notes, the Midwest’s only tribute group to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, will be the featured entertainment at a one night only holiday concert on Saturday, Dec. 16. Backed by a live band, The Four C Notes are led by John Michael Coppola who appeared in Chicago’s long running Jersey Boys.

The event is being presented by Navarro Catering & Events.

Titled Seasons Greetings: The Hits of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, plus Rock and Roll Holiday Classics, the concert will feature songs by the group whose popularity was reignited by the Broadway show Jersey Boys, as well as holiday classics made famous by artists such as The Eagles, The Drifters, Dion and

the Belmonts, Johnny Maestro and many more.

Coppola, who understudied the role of Frankie Valli during the nearly its nearly three-year run in Chicago, started The Four C Notes in 2013.

“I was asked to create a 30-minute set for a wedding performed to music tracks. I hired three friends of

mine from the Chicago theater and music scene, and it sort of took off from there,” he said. “It was as if the universe said ‘Yes! Go with that instinct’. The show has grown to 90 minutes and we’ve been busy ever since, having been blessed to perform at public and private events all over the country.”

When a patient’s teeth and jaws are not properly aligned, he or she is by said Jeffrey to have a “malocclusion” T. Boland(or “bad bite”). Orthodontic Untreated malocclusions Licensed Specialist can lead to teeth that wear poorly over time. In some cases, this wear can be severe enough that a damaged tooth structure must be replaced with a crown, bonding, or veneers. Poorly fitting teeth can also contribute to stress and strain on the muscles that support the jaws, which can lead to pain in the chewing muscles, headaches, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome. Poorly fitting teeth can induce stresses that can negatively affect bone and gum support of the teeth, which could ultimately result in tooth loss. Timely treatment can prevent these unwanted outcomes.

IHSA baseball pitchers to get a few more throws in 2018 playoffs

ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK High school baseball in Illinois is seven innings, so even the new postseason pitch count of 115 pitches means managers across the state will have to be crafty if their pitchers aren’t on the money.

The Illinois High School Association (IHSA), which oversees high school sports in the state, upped the postseason pitch count last week from 105 to 115. IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson said by the time pitchers get to the state series, you’re talking about fewer teams, stronger arms and fewer games.

Anderson added that the IHSA tweaked the pitch count because schools asked for more leeway, but he said the pitch count itself isn’t going anywhere.

“The pitch smart program that’s developed nationally by Major League Baseball and filtered down to the youth level has recommended these limits,” Anderson said. “Obviously [to protect] the safety of young people going forward.”

Last spring was the first season with a pitch count for Illinois high school baseball. Anderson says the IHSA heard some grumbling, particularly from smaller schools who said they didn’t have enough pitchers, but the group didn’t face any major blowback.

“This is just giving a little back to the coaches,” Anderson said, “while still keeping the safety precautions that we have in place now.”

The 115-pitch limit is only for the state playoffs. Pitchers during the regular season will still be limited to 105 throws during the game.

DuPage Public Transit Conference looks to the future Speaker urges County to partner with other public entities

DuPage County recently took part in the John Noel Public Transit Conference, which featured speakers from the Contra Costa County, Calif. GoMentum Program and Argonne National Laboratory Transportation Research Group.

Contra Costa County GoMentum Leader Jack Hall told attendees about county partnerships with private and state, federal and local public entities for the development of innovative transportation systems and autonomous transit.

“This is a very exciting program that is a model of collaboration for all of us to carefully consider,” DuPage County Public Transit Committee Chairman Pete DiCianni said.

Justice Department gives Chicago final sanctuary warning

ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK President Trump’s Administration is giving Chicago one final warning before it may yank millions of dollars in federal policing grants.

Chicago has until Oct. 27 to prove to the Justice Department that the city’s sanctuary policies, such as not asking about immigration status and not holding people in jail for federal immigration officers, isn’t hurting the law enforcement effort in the city.

The DOJ fired off a letter to Chicago and three other major cities last week that threatened to take away millions of dollars in federal grants if the cities don’t toe the line on the administration’s immigration policy.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said at a press conference that he’s not afraid of the letter.

“I totally, 100% reject the false choice of Donald Trump and the Justice Department,” the mayor said at a press conference last week. “We are not going to be a city that picks between the philosophy of community police and being a welcoming city.”

It’s still uncertain that Chicago will lose any money. A federal judge last month blocked the Justice Department from withholding grant money because Chicago has a pending lawsuit to save its sanctuary city status.

The Justice Department letter is only focused on Chicago. Illinois is not facing scrutiny over the state’s new sanctuary policies.

Report: Illinois among nation leaders in number of school districts, should pursue consolidation ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK Illinois has too many school districts, according to the non-profit Civic Federation, and merging them could save taxpayers on their property tax bills.

A consolidation expert says the push-back with combining schools isn’t the need for savings but allowing emotion to get in the way of what may be best for the children.

The U.S. Census says Illinois had 905 school districts in 2012, more than 200 of which are single-school districts. That’s the third most of any state and hundreds more than similarly sized states such as Michigan

and Wisconsin. The Civic Federation suggested in a report that the state should again pursue consolidating more districts to save taxpayer money on the administrative costs it takes to run all of those districts.

Dr. Jim Rosborg, director of the Masters in Education program at McKendree University said both sides of a consolidation fight, should remember the most important question involved.

“Can they provide the academic possibilities needed for a student to be successful in a university environment?” he asked.

Rosborg, a native of Hoopeston

in east-central Illinois, is currently working on a study of school districts in the Metro East area to see if they should consolidate.

The same hurdles to school consolidation continually emerge when it’s brought up. One, Rosborg said, is emotional.

“We all remember our high school days and none of us want to lose a key component of those memories,” he said.

The other obstacle is directly tied to the potential taxpayer savings from a consolidation: administrators don’t want to lose their jobs.

“There are many boards that do not

want to consolidate simply because they don’t want to take the chance of giving up their board position,” Rosborg said.

Another issue with a potential merging of districts is the potential for students in larger, possibly rural districts that would face a onerously long bus ride to and from school.

“No student should have to ride on the bus over an hour to school and over an hour from school,” he said.

“That makes the day too long for young people.”

Ex-Gov. Pat Quinn proposed a forced consolidation of schools in 2011.

What to know if you have chronic pain government organizations and researchers are discussing strategies to provide relief to the 100 million Americans with chronic pain.

“In May 2016, the CDC issued new guidelines for prescribing opioids, urging physicians to consider other treatments to help patients get relief and reduce the number of people who develop an opioid dependence,” says Dr. Mark Wallace, chair of the division of Pain Medicine in the Department of Anesthesiology,

University of California San Diego.

Fortunately, alternative treatment options exist that can help people manage their chronic pain. While not well known, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an FDA-approved option that has been proven to be safe and effective.

The nerves in the spinal cord are constantly communicating with the brain, and in patients with chronic pain, those signals trigger pain that can be physically and emotion-

The Elmhurst Memorial Hospital (EMH) Foundation will host its Hope. Lives. Here.

Luncheon on Wednesday, Oct. 25, 11 a.m. at the Butterfield Country Club, 2800 Midwest Rd. in Oak Brook.

The annual event is held to increase awareness and raise funds for the Nancy W. Knowles Cancer Center and Elmhurst Hospital’s oncology services.

Proceeds from the Luncheon are used to provide patients with educational materials to learn more about their specific needs, provide community screenings for early detection and prevention, and offer the latest therapies, such as the use of the DigniCap Scalp Cooling System to lessen hair loss during chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer.

Speakers at the Luncheon include Christina Lavin, MS, LCGC, Genetic Counselor, Nancy W. Knowles Cancer Center and Deborah Lindner,

MD, FACOG, LCGC, Chief Medical Officer, Bright Pink, an organization with the mission of saving women’s lives from breast and ovarian cancer by empowering them to live proactively at a young age.

Individual tickets are $55 and tables of 10 are available for $550. To register and purchase tickets, call the EMH Foundation at (331)221-0388.

Founded in 1980, the EMH Foundation offers many giving opportunities and annual special events designed to support the hospital’s programs and facilities, including the Autumn Affair, Chef Fest, Reindeer Route Housewalk and Love Lights program.

ally debilitating. SCS therapy works by interrupting that pain signal from reaching the brain.

It is a medical device that is implanted and is reversible unlike most surgical procedures.

Patients undergo a trial period allowing them to evaluate it before deciding to receive a permanent implant.

In a recent study published in the journal “Pain Medicine,” 86 percent of patients who underwent a trial with the Precision Spectra SCS System, a device made by Boston Scientific, reported a significant reduction in their pain and opted to receive an implant. When asked about their pain levels two years later, approximately 70 percent of the patients in the Lumina Study reported equal to or more than 50 percent reduction in their overall pain.

Since its introduction more

than 40 years ago, SCS technology has evolved, allowing for precise targeting and personalized treatment, which helps physicians better address the needs of their patients.

People struggling from chronic pain should consider talking to a pain management specialist about SCS, and visit www.ControlYourPain.com for more information. According to Dr. Wallace, key questions to ask include: • Should I consider SCS? • How can SCS treat my pain?

• What is the procedure like?

• We all need to do our part to reduce the negative impact of opioid abuse. One key step is for patients and physicians to initiate conversations about other ways we can manage pain to help them return to their normal lives,” says Dr. Wallace.

186149

(StatePoint) For a dose of reality on the impact of opioid abuse, consider this: In the U.S., illicit and prescription drug overdoses now kill more people than cars or guns, more than HIV/AIDS did at its peak, and from 1998 to 2015 overdoses rose by more than 500 percent. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 91 Americans die daily from an opioid overdose, totaling more than 33,000 people a year.

Man convicted of 1995 double murder resentenced to natural life in prison DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin announced last week that Judge George Bakalis has resentenced convicted double-murderer Joseph Arrieta, 40, to natural life in prison without the possibility of parole for the 1995 murders of Anthony Moore and Edward Riola.

The resentencing comes following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling (Miller v.

Alabama) that a mandatory sentence of natural life for those under the age of 18 at the time of the crime violates

the 8th amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment and that anyone under the age of 18 sentenced to mandatory life in prison must receive a new sentencing hear-ing. Arrieta was 17 years old at the time of the murders, just three months shy of his 18th birthday.

On March 11, 1996, following a jury trial, Arrieta was found guilty of the double murder. At that time, Illinois law mandated a sentence of natural life in prison without the possibility

of parole in the case of double murders. Consequently, a sentencing hearing was unnecessary and Arrieta was sentenced to mandatory life imprisonment, as required by Illinois law.

With the 2012 Miller v. Alabama decision, Arrieta received a sentencing hearing at which time the court heard evidence and arguments for and against his life sentence. The sentencing hearing was held on Aug. 8.

Following the hearing, Judge Bakalis ruled that after careful consideration

of all the relevant factors, as required by the U.S. Supreme Court in Miller v. Alabama, the “petitioner’s original sentence to natural life imprisonment was correct” and that his request “to be sentenced to something less than life imprisonment is denied.”

“In Miller v. Alabama, the Supreme Court ruled that a mandatory life sentence for those under 1 is unconstitutional, not the sentence itself, just the automatic imposition of the life sentence after a finding of guilty,”

Berlin said. “This was a cold-hearted, planned killing by a man who, once informed by others that Mr. Moore was still alive after being shot, actually went back to the room where he shot Mr. Moore and shot him again to make sure he was dead.

“The Miller v. Alabama decision should not have and did not change Mr. Arrieta’s circumstances. He earned his natural life sentence on March 15, 1995 – the day he murdered two innocent men.”

County Stormwater Management operated Flood Control Facilities last Saturday

DuPage County Stormwater Management was operating the Elmhurst Quarry Flood Control and Spring Creek Reservoir in Bloomingdale on Salt Creek following precipitation throughout the area which began early Saturday, Oct. 14.

County received rainfall totals ranging from 2.5 inches to up to 5

inches throughout the day on Saturday. The National Weather Service was forecasting an additional 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rainfall through early Sunday.

The rainfall triggered operation of the Elmhurst Quarry and Spring Creek Reservoir, as well as several of the County’s smaller gravity-operated

facilities. Flood forecasts indicated the remaining larger facilities, including the Wood Dale-Itasca Reservoir, Armstrong Park Reservoirs in Carol Stream and Fawell Dam in Naperville, would go into operation later Saturday as needed.

DuPage County Stormwater Management staff continued to monitor

stream elevations throughout the rain event and provided updates as they became available. Residents were warned that this precipitation could have caused localized and flash flooding, especially in low-lying areas.

Of the 16 flood control facilities DuPage County operates, five larger facilities have mechanical equipment

Super SavingS To find out how your business can be included, call 630-834-8355

allowing staff to control them according to a predetermined operating plan.

The remaining facilities protect the surrounding areas from flooding without human intervention using fixed weirs and natural drainage systems. In total, the facilities have a floodwater storage capacity of nearly four billion gallons.

Willowbrook football team kicker named Wintrust Athlete of the Week

Willowbrook senior Betty-Ann Garrett has been named as the Wintrust Athlete of the Week for Oct. 13 by Wintrust and NBC Sports Chicago.

Garrett is a kicker on the Willowbrook Football Team and credits her success in that position to the nearly 15 years she has been playing soccer. Growing up, she was always interested in football, but didn’t start playing until the summer before her freshman year.

Garrett is being recognized for her contributions to the Willowbrook football team – including kicking eight extra points to help the Warriors to a 56-6 win over Morton on Oct. 6 – as well as her work off the field. Garrett is dedicating her senior season to raising money to support pediatric cancer patients and their families (for details, or to make a donation, go to kickit.org/champ/2017/08/betty-anns-kickit-campaign).

D’Ambrose rushes for 316 yards and four scores in Addison Trail football win Addison Trail boys soccer team beats Mt. Carmel

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Addison Trail football team scored a 34-7 victory over Morton in a West Suburban Conference Gold Division game in Addison.

The win broke a five-game losing streak and put the Blazers at 3-5 overall and 1-4 in WSC Gold play.

Addison Trail finishes out the 2017 season in Maywood Saturday at 1 p.m., against Proviso East.

The Blazers led 7-0 after the first quarter and 14-0 at halftime. Addison Trail extended the lead to 27-7 after three quarters.

Addison Trail running back Nick D’Ambrose ran 21 times for 316 yards and scored four touchdowns in the win. He had a 73-yard long run and averaged 15.0 yards per carry.

Dennis Ionikov caught three passes for 13 yards and AJ Parnell caught one pass for 13 yards.

Addison Trail had 365 yards of total offense.

D’Ambrose also returned a kickoff 41 yards.

Christian Cici returned a punt 43 yards for a touchdown and Vince Daudelin had a 16-yard punt return.

On the season, D’Ambrose has rushed for 888 yards on 114 carries and has six rushing touchdowns and seven total touchdowns. He’s only played in five games this season. It was his third game of the year rushing for 200 or more yards. He had 224 yards on 24 carries to go with two touchdowns against Glenbard South and also ran for 224 yards on 32 carries against Glenbard West.

Addison Trail boys soccer The Addison Trail boys soccer team has provided plenty of excitement of late.

The Blazers recently beat Mt. Carmel 1-0 in a non-conference game on senior night at Addison Trail. Mt. Carmel was ranked No. 18 in the Chicago area at the time.

Addison Trail also lost 2-1 to perennial state power Morton in a West Suburban Conference Gold Division game in Berywn.

“That was a great game at their place,” said Addison Trail coach Ryan Dini.

The Blazers also recently tied Hinsdale Central 2-2 in a WSC crossover game. Addison Trail scored with 14 seconds left in the game to tie the score.

“Our team really is playing well of late and is looking forward to the playoffs,” said Dini.

The Blazers have been bolstered by the play of Alexis DelaPaz, along with goalies Jean Avila and Sam Sandoval. “Alexis is playing really well,” said Dini. “He has really emerged over the past two weeks with his ball control and distributing to teammates. Both goalies have stepped up their games at the right time of the season. It has been great to see both of them improve over the past month.”

Junior midfielder Melvin Mora was leading the team in scoring through late last week with six goals and four assists. Senior midfielder Luis Saucedo had three goals and four assists, while senior forward Christian Garcia had three goals and three assists.

The coach also lauded the play of senior forward Osbaldo Murillo. “He scored against Hinsdale Central,” Dini noted. “He has good height and speed and we moved him from defense to offense about a week ago. He has given us another dimension up top and is good at 50/50 balls.”

Dini has been pleased with the team’s offensive

makeover of late. “The offense has improved over the past week with our guys getting to scoring spots on the field so we can have some success,” he said.

“We are creating more opportunities with our speed and angle runs by our forwards. I also have moved some of our better defenders up at times to get more numbers up toward the penalty box. Our set plays have improved as well so we are taking advantage of corner kicks and throw-ins near the top of the box.”

The Blazers have been sound on defense throughout the season, Dini noted. “Our defense has been really solid all year long. With playing some of the best teams in the state, we are holding our own. I play six defenders and of the six, only one is a senior.

The other four are juniors and one is a sophomore.

This is great news for next year’s team because most of them will be back.”

Through the first 20 games of the season, the Blazers have allowed more than two goals only six times and have four shutouts. Avila has a 1.42 goalsagainst average, while Sandoval, a junior, has a 2.38 GAA. “Both goalies bring a little something different to the game so our plan is to play both during the playoffs by giving them each a half,” said Dini. “They really haven’t separated themselves from each other.

We are lucky to have them both.”

Addison Trail, through late last week, had played six teams currently ranked in the top 20.

“Our team is believing we can beat anyone we play,” said Dini. “Although our record is 1-4-1 against those teams, we have been really competitive in those games besides one. It feels like every game we play is against a strong team. That is getting us ready for the state tournament. We beat a good Mt. Carmel team that I think will make it to at least sectionals, so that was a really good confidence boost. I also think our communication on the field has improved and has allowed for us to be more organized.”

Due to the foul weather that hit the area this past Saturday, Addison Trail’s first playoff game against Elk Grove was moved to this past Monday. The winner was to face York on Tuesday at Glenbard East in regional semifinal action.

Mello hired as Fenton’s new girls basketball coach

No stranger to Bison athletics over the years

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Fenton has turned to a longtime familiar face for its new girls basketball coach.

Dave Mello, a longtime multi-sport coach at the Bensenville high school, is the new girls basketball coach at Fenton. He is the school’s third coach since the end of last season, replacing longtime coach Tim Anderson and Megan Andrews, who was hired to replace Anderson.

Mello stepped down from his position as head girls basketball coach at Bartlett High School to take the Fenton position. Mello is a physical education teacher at Bartlett.

“I had been in the Fenton program for 15 seasons prior to going to Bartlett,” said Mello. “When the Fenton job came open for the second time in six months, it was a sign that it was meant to be. If it was anywhere else but Fenton I wouldn’t have considered leaving the Bartlett job.”

Mello also is currently the varsity assistant girls volleyball coach and the school’s head softball coach. He’s been a coach at Fenton since 1995.

“I have a lot invested in Fenton athletics,” he said. “I want to do what I can to build the girls basketball program back up to where it should be.”

Mello said it was tough leaving the Bartlett job. “I teach there so that made it even more difficult of a decision,” he said. “But I had to do what I felt my calling was right now.”

Mello has taught PE and driver’s education at Bartlett since 2002. Mello did his student-teaching at Fenton.

“I didn’t get right into teaching at that point. I worked for a company in Elk Grove first,” he said.

Mello noted he started coaching boys soccer at Fenton in the fall of 1995. He also coached girls basketball and softball at now defunct Driscoll High School in Addison. He made it over to the girls volleyball and softball programs at Fenton around the turn of the century. He became the head softball coach at Fenton in 2008 and was co-head coach of the girls volleyball team with Josh Payton for two years. He’s been with the Fenton girls volleyball varsity team since 2011.

One thing Mello is excited about is this year’s senior players on the Fenton girls basketball team.

“Those seniors were my last freshmen group at Fenton,” he said.

Mello is chomping at the bit to get going and elevate the Bison program.

“We know we play in a tough conference with some private schools, but there is no reason we can’t continue to get better and compete,” he said.

“Our number-one goal is to establish a culture here and attract kids who want to be involved with Fenton girls basketball. In our initial meeting, we had 52 girls who had signed up for basketball or expressed an interest.

That’s a great start to have that many. We had some T-shirts made up because we want to get that logo out in the school. Some of the girls wore them the next day and there were some staff members who said there was more talk about Fenton girls basketball that one day than there has been the previous four or five years put together. We’re going to get out there and compete and see where it takes us. We’re going to establish this program and get it on track. We’ll worry about the conference and the regional down the road.”

Mello again stressed the importance of being at Fenton. “Since I started coaching there in 1995, it’s a place that holds a lot of importance for me. I have a lot of blue and orange in my closet,” he said. “I do some driver’s ed behind the wheel for them in summer, coach the different sports there and do the summer camps. For me it’s like my second home. My family always comes first, but Fenton is like that second home. I’ve received nothing but great support from the administration and teachers and there has been great buy-in from the athletes there.”

Mello feels success in the program can be achieved. “You hear people sometimes say Fenton never wins. Why can’t we?” he asked. “We’ve had success in softball. We lost 1-0 last year in the regional title game to Whitney Young and had the bases loaded in the top of the seventh against them. That’s a perfect example. We need to get these girls to believe that we can compete and we will. We want the days of, ‘It’s just Fenton again,’ to be over.”

Mello said former Fenton all-state softball player Tara Lawson will be his varsity assistant coach.

“We’re ready to go,” he said. “I can’t wait for practice to start.”

Illinois coal producers praise Trump administration’s planned rollback of the Clean Power Plan ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK Illinois coal producers are breathing a sigh of relief following the announcement of the Trump administration’s planned rollback of the Clean Power Plan.

The Obama-era rules were an ef-

ESO gears up for next concert in series

Mary Stolper to perform in Pied Piper Fantasy

Pied Piper Fantasy, the second concert of the Elmhurst Symphony’s 57th season, will take place on Sunday, Nov. 12 at 3 p.m. It will be an afternoon of majestic beauty and theatrical splendor when renowned flutist and Elmhurst resident Mary Stolper headlines a program of musical favorites that will appeal to all ages. You will be enveloped by the lush strings of the orchestra in Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, be inspired

by Felix Mendelssohn’s tribute to the Reformation in Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 107, and be carried away by the Pied Piper in John Corigliano’s Pied Piper Fantasy for Flute and Orchestra. Local flute students will join Stolper in portraying the exciting story of how the piper saved the inhabitants of Hamelin.

Mary Stolper is currently Principal Flute of the Grant Park Symphony Festival Orchestra and Music of the Baroque Orchestra, both in Chicago.

She also acts as Principal Flute with the Chicago Philharmonic Orchestra and the Joffrey Ballet and, as a sought-after orchestral and chamber musician and soloist, is invited to perform throughout the city, nationally and internationally.

This concert is underwritten in part by generous gifts from Jane and Richard Kiep (Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia) and Elaine Libovicz (Mary Stolper’s performance.)

Enjoy HB Jones Food Truck after concert Following the concert, help support the ESO by enjoying dinner from the HB Jones Food Truck, which will be parked in front of the main entrance to the church. On the menu are a variety of delicious sandwiches or mac and cheese. Tickets are $15 per person and can be purchased on the ESO web site at elmhurstsymphony.org. Seating is in the Garden Room, where beverages and desserts will be served. HB Jones will donate 15 percent of sales to the ESO. Tickets and information The Symphony performs in the contemporary venue at Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church, 149 W. Brush Hill Rd. The church has accessible parking and facilities; parking is free. The concert experience at ECRC is enhanced by the informative and lively discussion, Behind the Music Stand, led by audience favorite Dr. Ted Hatmaker, which takes place at 1:45 p.m. prior to the concert.

fort to limit carbon emissions from coal-fired plants. Legal challenges have prevented the regulations from ever actually taking effect.

“The Clean Power Plan going away means that power plants that could not comply with the air emissions limits are going to be kept online,” said Phil Gonet, president of the Illinois Coal Association. “We’ll be able to provide them with coal to provide reliable energy.”

Uncertainty about the regulations helped contribute to a recent wave of shutdowns of coal-fired plants. More than 400 have closed their doors in the past six years nationwide. Gonet says the whole idea never made much sense.

“Even Gina McCarthy, the former administrator of the EPA, admitted if the United States implemented the Clean Power Plan, it would have an impact on global [carbon dioxide] emissions of less than 1%,” Gonet said. “Our point was, it’s going to cost billions of dollars in more costly power from renewables or wherever to replace coal and it would have a negligible impact on emissions worldwide. Why are we doing this?”

The EPA estimates that repealing the Clean Power Plan could lead to up to $33 billion dollars in avoided compliance costs in 2030. And Gonet says the increased regulatory certainty would mean a brighter future for Illinois coal.

“I see coal [in Illinois] that is easy to extract,” Gonet said. “The coal mines are very productive, in terms of tons per man hour produced.

Our operators know how to get the product to the end market. And in a shrinking marketplace, the low-cost producer is going to prevail.”

Total coal production in Illinois is expected to be up about 12% in 2017, to 50 million tons. Illinois supports about 3,300 jobs in the coal industry, down from about 4,400 just three years ago, and a high of 10,000 back in 1990.

Gonet says the rollback is a shot in the arm for the industry but admits it’s not a cure-all.

“The [rollback of] the Clean Power Plan, while we welcome it, is not going to bring those plants back,” Gonet said, “but it’s going to stop the bleeding and stop the further reduction in coal being used.”

Where: Lewis Stadium at Plunkett Athletic Complex, Elmhurst Last week: IC Catholic Prep 51, Glenbard South 14; Wheaton Academy 53, Fenton 32 Last year: IC Catholic Prep 49, Fenton 0 Outlook: A Knights win here will give them the Metro Suburban Conference Blue Division title outright with a perfect 5-0 record. IC Catholic Prep has won 21 of its last 22 contests and has scored 50 or more pints in five of its last six games. Only one opponent this season has managed to break 20 points against IC Catholic Prep (St. Laurence handed the Knights their only loss 26-23 in Week 2).

Travel Wisconsin spotlights fleeting fall color in new ad campaign

Travel Wisconsin is reminding travelers that nature doesn’t wait when it comes to Wisconsin’s autumn color. A new fall campaign from the state tourism office uses drone footage of the state’s spectacular autumn color and a full-on immersive experience in Chicago’s Union Station to encourage travelers to book their fall vacations.

Travel Wisconsin wrapped an entire hallway in Union Station in an enchanting fall theme with a towering 8-foot hourglass as the main attraction. As the colors change in Wisconsin, which is known for it’s 16 million acres of forest, leaves will slip through the hourglass remind-

ing daily commuters and travelers to “see the fall leaves before the leaves fall.” Vacationers are encouraged to start their planning by visiting the award-winning online Travel Wisconsin Fall Color Report.

The campaign kicked off earlier this month with a fall TV spot that utilized drone technology to capture close-ups of people enjoying outdoor activities, then zooming out to a backdrop panorama of fall color.

The spot features hiking at RocheA-Cri State Park in Friendship, leaf peeping at Holy Hill National Shrine of Mary in Hubertus, golfing at Whistling Straits in Sheboygan and riding the “Fall Colors Comet Sky

Ride” at Granite Peak Ski Area in Wausau.

“Fall is a short travel season so we need to make a big impact in a small window of time to urge travelers not to wait when it comes to their vacation plans,” said Wisconsin Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett. “The hourglass promotes the fast-moving nature of fall color and the entire campaign captures the beauty and the fun to be had in Wisconsin. One look at the hourglass and travelers will want to head for the next Hiawatha train to Wisconsin. We’ll be ready to greet them when they arrive!”

The portal for traveler information can be found at travelwisconsin.com.
