Village expanding

Three unincorporated parcels to be annexed into Villa Park

By Paul DelGuidice FOR THE VILLA PARK INDEPENDENT

The Village of Villa Park has been around for more than 100 years, but the town just got a little bit bigger. The preliminary vote to annex three unincorporated parcels of land passed the Village Board during their Monday, June 27 meeting. The three properties will officially be ‘incorporated’ into Villa Park barring a surprise reversal of votes at the Monday, July 11 Village Board of Trustees meeting, which occurred after this story was written.

“These (three) parcels are completely sur-

rounded by the Village of Villa Park,” said Village President Deborah Bullwinkel, reading the Formal Agenda description, “Staff believes this annexation will improve emergency services for these parcels and recommends approval of the Annexation Ordinance.”

The first parcel is located at 0S461 Ardmore Ave., south of Roosevelt Rd. A single family home is located on this land, and was subject to its own Annexation Ordinance. The other two parcels- 0S708 Villa Ave. and 0S705 Euclid Ave. are ‘back to back’ and encompass the land between Villa and Euclid. Both prop-

Inside:

Police Reports...........6 Sports................14-15 Weekly Deals.......... 19 Classifieds..........17-18

erties also contain single family residences.

Both the Euclid Ave. and Villa Ave. parcels were included in a second Annexation Ordinance.

According to Village Staff, the annexations will also “achieve the goal of the strategic plan to annex areas that are surrounded by the Village.”

The Annexation Ordinances for the properties run for 20 years according to Village Attorney Kathleen Field-Orr. “Section five of (the Annexation Ordinance) it says ‘The Village agrees to waive the con-

nection fees for both the water and the sewer connections on the property.” said Trustee Al Bulthuis, “Does that go on forever?”

“That’s an agreement with the property owner, “ said Attorney Field-Orr, “There is no new connection needed when you change owners. That’s how we’re protected.”

The Board passed both Annexation Ordinances unanimously 6-0 during the First Reading on June 27. Trustee Bob Taglia was not in attendance. The Board was expected to pass the Second and Final reading at their Monday, July 11 meeting.

County seeks public input on programs, spending DuPage residents invited to participate in online survey DuPage County residents have a chance to weigh in on their priorities by participating in this year’s County budget survey. The survey is available online at surveymonkey.com/r/ DuPaegBudget17Survey.

Each year, the DuPage County Board gathers public opinion as it shapes the next year’s budget, determining spending levels for all

of the County’s programs. County Board Chairman Dan Cronin said this year’s effort is particularly important as the County Board must create a DuPage County budget without a full-year spending plan available from the state.

“We have met our funding obligations despite budget pressures brought out on by 2016’s legislative struggle,” said Cronin.

“The budget agreement reached in June provides us some, but not all, of the answers we need. This year, we will continue to put our

residents and their priorities first as we create a prudent spending plan providing optimal services in the most efficient, cost-effective manner possible.”

Finance Committee Chairman Paul Fichtner said the survey coincides with the regular budget process as DuPage officials determine spending levels for Fiscal Year 2017, which begins on Dec. 1, 2016.

“We have always received thoughtful feedback from our residents through our budget surveys,” said Fichtner. “These survey results

allow us to learn which programs and services our residents value most. They also allow our residents to be the first to learn about county initiatives, events and services by opting to receive our County Board newsletter.”

DuPage County residents may take the brief survey at The survey can also be found at dupageco.org. Click on the Budget Survey link at the top of the page.

Chairman Cronin presents his FY 2017 budget plan to the County Board on Sept. 13, 2016.

State Senator announces County Stormwater Management releases guidebook on flood-proofing ‘Fly Quiet Runway Rotation Test’ Residents urged to visit web site, provide feedback

DuPage County Board’s Stormwater Management Committee recently released a floodproofing guidebook intended to help homeowners resolve common localized flooding issues from both underground and overland sources.

“The catalyst for the development of this guidebook was residential feedback during meetings and events,” said Committee Chair Jim Zay. “Time and time again, residents ask us how they can protect themselves from flooding, particularly where large-scale infrastructure interventions are not an option.”

Developed in partnership with Bluestem Communications, the guidebook helps homeowners identify the source of their flooding, as well as various ways to combat this flooding. Depending on the type of flooding incurred, solutions range from installing overhead sewer systems to nature-based solutions that homeowners can tackle themselves. The guidebook also includes resources for during and after a flood.

To better understand these flooding issues, DuPage County and Bluestem polled residents who frequently experience varying types of flooding on their property. Common issues and concerns were compiled, and experts were then consulted to formulate effective and simple actions homeowners could take to reduce flooding.

“This guidebook is brief but thorough, making it both convenient and comprehensive for residents,” Zay added. “We’re all in this together, and this another tool to alleviate flooding issues in DuPage County.”

To download the guidebook, visit dupageco.org/EDP/Stormwater_Management/52627/.

According to the office of State Senator Tom Cullerton (D-Villa Park), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved the Fly Quiet Runway Rotation Test Plan for O’Hare International Airport beginning on Wednesday, July 6.

The goal of the new plan is to find a more balanced distribution of noise exposure for DuPage County and surrounding communities during overnight hours.

“The Fly Quiet Runway Rotation Test Plan is the result of everyone’s hard work,” Cullerton said. “Different layers of government, community organizations and local residents, worked as a team to try to eliminate this problem.

“My hope is this will provide us with a long-term solution to alleviate these commu-

nities from unnecessary disturbances.”

Cullerton said that the six-month test, which has designated nighttime arrival and departure runways at O’Hare, will be rotated on a weekly basis.

The weekly schedule was developed to achieve a balanced approach that uses eastwest parallel runways as well as diagonal runways. The test will only apply to overnight hours when flight demands can be fulfilled by a single arrival or departure runway, or a mixed-use runway.

The rotation schedule is designed to minimize the impact to communities with the same operation type (arrival or departure) for two consecutive weeks. The purpose of the test is to evaluate a condition that could be in place until Runway 14R/32L is permanently closed in 2018.

Implants –

a new smile!

Whether you’re missing one or all of your teeth, there’s now an exciting option that will help you smile with confidence again. Thousands of people are flashing smiles that have been beautified by implants, a fabulous tooth replacement technique that can be performed right here in our office.

Dental implants are the closest cousin to natural teeth. They are permanent false teeth anchored right into your jawbone, just like your natural teeth. They’re more stable than dentures, and eating is done with ease and comfort. Many patients find implants give them a more positive self-image and more confidence.

Implants can be used to stabilize dentures and bridges, replace just one tooth or to rebuild an entire jaw of missing teeth.

The best part is that they look and feel just like natural teeth.

Dental implants are reliable. Patients have retained them for more than twenty years with a better than 90% success rate.

Dental implant treatment does require a greater investment of time and money, but in the long run, it’s well worth it.

Call us to see if implants can work for you.

According to a release issued by the DuPage County’s Division of Transportation, residents should be aware of the planned closure of the Highland Avenue bridge over Butterfield Road in Lombard. The bridge is being repaired this summer with re-opening tentatively scheduled for mid-August. Motorists are encouraged to follow posted detours.

Information and updates on the construction schedule is available at dupageco.org/DOT/road_construction/Highland Ave. For more information, please contact Evan Shields at (630) 407-6022 or Joan Olson at (630) 407-6015.

Crooked teeth or jaw problems may contribute to improper cleaning. This can lead to tooth decay and, possibly, gum disease or total tooth loss. Orthodontic problems that go untreated can lead to chewing and digestion difficulties, speech impairments, and abnormal wear of tooth surfaces. To schedule a free orthodontic consultation, please call our office. Available by appointment, we honor all kinds of insurance and charge zero interest on our financing.

The criteria used for the test plan was approved by the O’Hare Noise Compatibility Commission (ONCC) in May. Residents are invited to provide feedback, learn more about the test plan and view the week-by-week rotation schedule by visiting flychicago.com/flyquiettest. The site is maintained by the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA).

Cullerton urged area residents to visit the web site, that their feedback is a crucial component for the success of the testing period. The comments and data will be collected and reviewed during the test period to determine the effectiveness of the rotation plan. The CDA will generate reports that will be available throughout the test period.

“I can’t reiterate the importance

of DuPage county residents providing accurate and constant feedback through the CDA’s website,” he said. “Community input will decide the success of the Fly Quiet Runway Rotation Test Plan and help us move forward eliminating this problem.”

Mismatches between teeth and jaws result from inheriting disparate characteristics from each parent, such as

by Jeffrey Boland a small jaw from theT.mother and large Licensedteeth Orthodontic permanent from the Specialist father. As a result, teeth can be forced out of their proper alignment, grow inside or outside the dental arch, or rotate and overlap adjacent teeth. Orthodontic treatment addresses these problems by moving teeth into their proper positions with constant and gentle pressure. Because rushing toward completion of treatment would only serve to jeopardize the health of teeth and underlying bones, most treatment times can be expected to range from 18 months to three years. In time, children are able to properly reflect the best of both of their parents’ influence.

Conroy legislation would give parents, caregivers more flexibility Illinois workers caring for elderly or sick family members may soon have increased access to paid sick leave under legislation sponsored by state Rep. Deb Conroy, D-Villa Park.

Conroy co-sponsored House Bill 6162, which allows Illinois workers to use earned sick time from their employers to care for an ill or injured family member, including taking them to medical appointments. According to AARP Illinois, over 1.5 million Illinoisans serve as caregivers, most of whom work fulltime. This legislation adds flexibility to existing time off policies without requiring employers who do not al-

ready have sick leave benefits in place to provide them.

“Employees should be able to go to work confident that if a family member falls ill, the time off that they have earned will be available to provide care for the people whose health is as important as their own,” Conroy said. “This is a common sense bill that would not place any additional burden on employers and received bipartisan support in the legislature.”

House Bill 6162 passed both the House and Senate with bipartisan support and awaits action by the governor.

‘Discover Mayslake’ on July 23 Historic Mayslake Peabody Estate to host open house

Take a self-guided tour of the Mayslake mansion and enjoy live music and theater, art projects, photography hikes, archery, and fishing at “Discover Mayslake” from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, July 23 at the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County’s Mayslake Peabody Estate, 1717 W. 31st St. in Oak Brook.

The free, all-ages open house spotlights programs and events offered throughout the year at the 87-acre estate, which includes its 1920s Tudor Revival-style Mayslake Hall, a national historic landmark.

Throughout the day, visitors can enjoy live music from Picosa and Acappellago, regular performers at Mayslake, and mini-performances by First Folio, Mayslake’s resident theater company and the premier nonprofit professional theater in the western suburbs. They can see demonstrations, too, by Music Together, a music and movement program for newborns to kindergarteners offered at the estate throughout the year.

Visitors can take in the beauty of Mayslake with photo walks led by photography professionals who teach at Mayslake or on garden walks led by volunteers who care for the estate’s heritage garden. They can join district naturalists on guided nature hikes and at activity stations featuring bugs and letterboxing (a type of outdoor treasure hunt) or try a hand at archery and fishing with District rangers. A complete schedule of events is available at dupageforest.org/Discover_Mayslake_2016. “ ‘Discover Mayslake’ will be a great day to spend with family and friends, try new activities and enjoy the beauty of Mayslake,” said Forest Preserve District Commissioner Jeff Redick, District 2.

Other activities will include historical talks about the forest preserve and Mayslake Hall restoration, “open-house style” tours of the mansion, an art exhibit of Mayslake-inspired works, and art projects, including one where visitors’ completed images will be posted to the Mayslake Facebook page.

“This event gives visitors a chance to sample the many ways this historical icon connects people to nature and culture in DuPage County,” said Forest Preserve District of DuPage County President Joe Cantore.

The district works to historically restore Mayslake Hall, which hosts theater and musical productions, art classes, tours, exhibits, workshops, summer camps, special events and private functions throughout the year.

District ecologists and volunteers continue to improve the land’s highquality prairie, oak savanna, wetlands and woodlands.

Classic cars on display at Cortesi Park every Sunday through September

By Paul DelGuidice FOR THE VILLA PARK INDEPENDENT

The third season of Sunday Night Car Shows got off to a roaring start on July 10 with some classic ‘iron’ on display for free.

“More like classic fiberglass,” quipped Villa Park resident Doug Lehman, referring to the large number of Chevrolet Corvettes at the show. Corvettes are famous for having bodywork made of fiberglass.

Besides ‘vettes, including a 1974 Stingray, a 1995 ZR-1 and a 1998 Indy Pace Car C5, there were other makes and models. Even a few Fords.

A souped-up 1995 Ford Mustang 5.0, a couple of 1957 Chevy Bel-Aires, a 1969 Pontiac GT0 and even a 1970s-era Lincoln Continental were all parked around Cortesi Park, their proud owners ready to tell visitors all about their ‘rides.’

This year, Sunday Night Car Shows will be held every Sunday from July 10 through September 25.

Each show will have a theme such

as a pie eating contest on July 24; kids and adult tricycle races August 7; karaoke night on August 28; and first responders night/Oktoberfest on September 11.

Attendees are encouraged to visit www.sundaynightcarshow.com and vote for ‘Best of Show’ each week.

The shows run from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and are free and open to the public.

July 10: Opening of the show July 17: 1st Best of Show award July 24: Pie eating contest July 31: Hot dog eating contest August 7: Kids and adult tricycle races August 14: Pedi taxi rides August 21: Auto show night August 28: Karaoke night September 4: Union workers night September 11: First Responders/ Oktoberfest night September 18: Pizza night in Villa Park September 26: Car of the Year award

Christmas in July project benefits ‘Meals on Wheels’

The York Township Republican Women’s Organization (YTRWO) recently completed a service project to benefit York Township senior citizens who receive “Meals on Wheels” at home through the DuPage Senior Citizens Council-York Township Senior Nutrition Program. Pictured are (front row, from left): Hosanna Korynecky, President Gladys Novotny, member Lori Solyom; (back row) York Township Supervisor John W. Valle and YTRWO Second Vice-President Pam Morrissey. The YTRWO received 80 plastic buckets from an anonymous donor, which they filled with summer-themed household items such as fly swatters, ice cube trays, water and hand-held fans. These were then distributed by volunteer “Meals on Wheels” drivers to the senior citizens on their routes.

Addison Trail baseball team wins two games in wood bat tournament Perez earns summer all-district honors

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Addison Trail summer baseball team’s improvement is appearing at the perfect time on the schedule.

“

We finished the regular season strong. We are getting better every week and that is starting to pay dividends. We finished up (the regular season) with three wins in our last four games. Those are signs we are headed in the right direction.”

– Addison Trail Coach Mike Kennedy

The Blazers closed out their summer regular-season schedule by winning two games in a wooden bat tournament in St. Charles.

Addison Trail recorded a 2-0 victory over West Chicago behind the pitching efforts of Nick Villasenor and Trevor Fulmer. Villasenor and Fulmer combined to throw a twohit shutout.

“They were awesome,” said Addison Trail coach Mike Kennedy of his two hurlers.

Bryan Hidalgo-Ortiz had what turned out to be the game-winning RBI in the bottom of the sixth. Hidalgo-Ortiz then scored the Blazers’ second and final run.

Addison Trail also recorded a 9-3 win over Elgin Larkin. Simon Marinelli had three hits, while Fulmer and Mitch Gomez each had two hits.

AJ Parnell pitched the first four innings, while Bobby Daniels pitched the last three innings.

“We finished the regular-season strong,” said Kennedy. “We are getting better every week and that is starting to pay dividends. We finished up (the regular season) with three wins in our last four games.

Those are signs we are headed in the right direction.”

Kennedy and the Blazers re-

ceived further good news when it was announced Ricky Perez earned summer Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association all-district honors.

“Ricky did just about everything for us,” said Kennedy. “His defense and pitching have been key for us as well as the way he swings the bat.

He threw some big innings for us.”

Kennedy likes the progress the team’s offense has made this summer. “Lately, we’ve started putting runs up. That’s a big thing,” he said.

“Our pitching is getting a little better and where it needs to be. We put

up nine runs against Larkin using wooden bats. That’s huge for us.

We came out hitting in that game.

We had 12 or 13 hits, which is awesome. We started the game with Simon, Mitch Gomez and Trevor each getting doubles. Fulmer hit one off the wall.”

Kennedy noted the wooden bat tournament was a nice bonus on the summer schedule. “The kids love the wooden bat tournament,” he said. “They want to play with wooden bats all the time.”

Kennedy said the summer season has been a big hit from an evalua-

tion standpoint as well.

“We’ve been able to get a good look at different guys this summer,” said Kennedy. “We’ve seen guys in different positions that might be outside their comfort zone. If they can show they can play different positions during the summer that will allow them to play different positions during the regular season.

If they are swinging a good bat we want to find a good place for them in the field.”

Addison Trail opened the state summer playoffs earlier this week against Montini in Lombard.

10U, 11U, 12U, 14U and 16U Girls

Addison Trail coach Rob Schader.

“We have six kids coming back with a ton of minutes played already. The biggest keys for this coming season will be to stay healthy and stay out of foul trouble. We feel comfortable putting eight kids out there on a consistent basis. We’d like to add a few more to that list who can go in and help us.”

Addison Trail went 6-4 against competition at the Palatine summer league. “We haven’t played more than one or two games over there in previous years,” said Schader.

“When we were at full strength we played teams tough. We beat some teams that we don’t normally beat.

We beat Oswego twice and we beat Barrington and McHenry. We played Lake Park tough and only lost by seven or eight points. We beat some pretty good teams. It should be a fun year coming up.”

Addison Trail also hosted several shootouts and played in an event at Lake Park. The Blazers wrapped up the summer season at a team camp at Hope College.

“The girls had the chance to play in 32 games this summer and get a lot of experience,” the coach said.

Schader said returning players such as Diamond Pikulyk, Nicolette Scorza, Alyssa Pham, Marie Baumgartner and Jasmin Mehmeti all had strong summers, as did Diane Graciano.

“The kids coming back from last year impressed me the most,” said Schader. “They all played well. Dia-

mond is a lot better on offense and defense and had a great attitude. We also had some juniors that played well and we’ll be counting on them to help us. We would like to get a good rotation of nine or 10 kids going. That would be ideal.”

Schader saw positives on both sides of the ball. “Offensively we pushed the ball and the tempo,” he said. “We made it hard for teams to keep up with us. Defensively we worked on our half-court man, which was good at times. We rebounded the ball well. We have kids who want to rebound the basketball well.”

Schader said the high volume of returning players helped accelerate teachings during the summer contact period.

“In 11 years I don’t think we’ve had more than three or four players back,” he said. “No way we’ve had six back. Four of those kids started on a regular basis and all five of our starters at some point started a game last year. You can’t teach that. That’s a learning experience you can’t get from any practice situation. We’re ahead of the game at this point.”

Schader said the season-ending Hope College trip in Michigan provided another good evaluation opportunity. He added the team will play in the neighborhood of 11-12 games while there.

“A lot of the juniors are going and that will give them a lot of game opportunities and the opportunity to get better,” he said.

Fenton girls basketball team wraps up summer session Veteran coach Anderson thrilled with squad’s progress

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The summer session was a smash hit for the Fenton girls basketball team.

Although the Bison did not play in any formal competitions during the summer, they racked up plenty of superlatives on the practice floor.

“The summer went very well,” said longtime Fenton coach Tim Anderson. “I was pleased with the turnout and was extremely pleased with the work ethic and determination. Last year, in terms of wins and losses, it wasn’t successful. This camp was extremely successful. It was phenomenal. These kids are extremely motivated. One of the tests in my mind was what would happen between the end of last season and when we would meet next

here in the summer. The girls came in raring to go. I was so pleased. It really does bode well for when we get started at the first day of practice.”

Anderson noted the team worked on a variety of skills. “Like last season, we spent a lot of time on fundamentals with shooting being priority No. 1,” the coach stated. “We also spent a lot of time working on defense, which was priority No. 2.

We’ve taken a step in the right direction here. I’m very excited.”

Fenton conducted its summer session a little later than usual.

“School ended late for us because of the construction on campus,” said Anderson. “We didn’t start camp until June 14 so we were a little behind. We knew it would be coming and we knew we would have a shorter session so we planned our agenda accordingly.”

The Bison graduated only two of their 13 players from last year’s

Firing on all cylinders

team. “I’m really looking forward to this group,” said Anderson. “It’s a group with a lot of character and a lot of resilience. Most of the girls from last year are back and we have some kids coming up from the JV that we’re very excited about. Our JV had a very good season last year. One thing that is going to help us, and I sound like a broken record from last year, is how well the girls get along with each other and how well they treat each other.

They show up and they are ready to work. Wow! We were so pleased this summer.”

Anderson also witnessed the metamorphosis of his senior group.

“The nice thing was to watch the transition from when they came into camp the first day,” he said.

“Now they are seniors. And when they come back in the fall, they will be two to three months into being seniors and that’s when we’ll expect big things from them.”

Anderson stressed he’s hopeful his players will continue to refine their games in the time away from the gym leading up to the start of fall practices. “For us, priority No. 1 is putting the ball in the basket,”

he said. “What we did in these three weeks here is hopefully the catalyst to get things started. Now go out in the driveway or park and shoot the ball or play 3-on-3 pickup games, but shoot the ball. You have to focus on what you want to do and plan on what you want to try and accomplish. That’s how we left them at the end of the summer. I have a lot of confidence and faith that they will go out and work on their own. I have a good feeling about what we’ll see when we see them again at the end of October.

It’s such a nice group of kids.”

Banner summer for Timothy Christian girls basketball team

Trojans made progress, enjoyed success at Lisle summer league

By Mike Miasma CORRESPONDENT

A 4-8 record doesn’t seem like

ketball coach Michele Strube uses much to write home about.

But in terms of summer improve- that mark as exhibit No. 1 in her ment, Timothy Christian girls bas- team’s progress.

“We finished 4-8 in the Lisle summer league and that’s the best summer we’ve had so far since I’ve been coach,” she said. “My first year we won no games there and the last two years we won one each time.”

The Trojans defeated IC Catholic grow up. I’d like to get a degree in biology and then get pharm-D and Prep and Lisle on the same night.

“Lisle was 10-0 when we beat them become a registered pharmacist and in the last week of summer league,” go from there.”

Michaelson is part of a Willow- said Strube. “The girls played rebrook summer team that won 18 ally well. They saw what two weeks games and opened play in the state of camp and playing games at night summer tournament earlier this See BANNER SUMMER, Page 16 week.

“We are all together,” he said.

“Everybody knows each other. The ublic otice seniors get along with the juniors and the juniors get along with the Public Notice seniors. We’re hitting the ball and Notice is hereby given by the Board of pitching well and doing the basic Education, Addison School District 4, in the County of DuPage, State of Illinois, that stuff to win ballgames.”

Willowbrook pitcher Alec Michaelson gets off to 4-0 summer start CORRESPONDENT

During the longer spring highschool baseball season, a good majority of pitchers do not win four games.

Willowbrook’s Alec Michaelson has done that in just about a month’s time during the current summer season. Michaelson brought a 4-0 record into the start of this week’s summer state tournament.

“I’ve worked a lot on my mechanics lately,” he said. “At the beginning of last season I was a little shaky and couldn’t find my control.

I was giving up a lot of walks.”

Michaelson said his work with Warriors’ pitching coach Curtis Hudson has made a major difference.

“Working with coach Hudson has helped a lot,” he said. “He’s helped me pump up the velocity and get more control. Everything he’s done with me has been a masterpiece.

Things have been going well.

Coach Hudson is a masterpiece. I wanted to be a dominant pitcher.

Coach Hudson helped me become a better pitcher. The improvements I’ve made are crazy. I’ve been doing really good.”

Michaelson has been hard at work refining a variety of pitches.

“My fastball is a solid No. 1 pitch,” he said. “I’ve really worked on my slider as a good kill pitch to get outs.

It’s worked on a lot of people. My curveball has been good this season and last season and my changeup is getting there. I’ve been working on it. It has great movement, but I need to find more control with it.”

Michaelson said his fastball has been clocked in the mid-80s with a high point of 85 MPH. “I’m consistently hitting 81 or 82,” he said.

Michaelson said his first summer victory against Wheaton-Warrenville South was a difference-maker for him.

“I had no earned runs and walked one person with upwards of eight strikeouts,” he said. “Right after that it made me feel like I had something special going here and just needed to work hard and get it jump-started. I gained a lot of confidence.”

Michaelson has been a nearly life-long practitioner of the sport.

“My mom got me a whiffle ball and bat when I was real young,” he said. “I’ve been playing competitively ever since I was able to get into a league. Baseball is my whole life.”

Michaelson, who also plays for the Lombard Lightning travel team, marvels at the progress he’s made as a player.

“It’s one of the best feelings ever when you look back at how far you’ve come and how real baseball can be and how far it can get me in life,” he said.

Michaelson noted he would like to play the sport in college. The holder of a grade point average in the high 3’s, Michaelson has plans to study to be a pharmacist. “School is the name of the game,” he said.

• BANNER SUMMER does.”

Strube saw a variety of positives on the court. “We had a great summer,” she said. “We were getting a lot of good shots, but we weren’t finishing sometimes. As the summer went on, the shots started to go in more. What we did in camp and playing games at night at Lisle helped. We played very good defensively. Most of the games at Lisle were very close. We did not get blown out. Defensively, we’re doing a fantastic job and we’re rebounding well. I’m very happy.

I’m excited for when we get back together on Oct. 31 for the first practice. I said to them two weeks

of camp is usually like two weeks of practice before the first game. I can’t what to see what two weeks of practice will do before we start the season. I stressed to them to do something between now and the start of practice. They saw what we were able to do. Hopefully they will continue to work here in the off-season and be ready to go when practice starts.”

Seniors Olivia Hoekstra, Tyra Hopson, Allison Zeilstra and Hope Zastrow had strong summers. “Olivia’s defense is fantastic,” said Strube. “She is crazy good and aggressive and fast in the passing lanes. Tyra can shoot from the out-

side. She has been working with a trainer and has been working hard in the off-season. Allison did well in the summer. She’s much better with her ball-handling and decision-making. Hope is only about 5-6 and is an inside player.

Hope is a workhorse for us. She rebounds the ball fantastically and is shooting the ball better. I was very happy how she played.”

Timothy also received word that volleyball standout Ava Venema will return to the team this season. Venema did not participate in summer activities but attended several games.

“Ava will help us with her

height,” said Strube. “She hasn’t played in two years, but she is athletic and strong. She is going to help the team.”

Emily DeBoer, Olivia Schuringa and Shayna Smits are juniors who also will help the Trojans.

“Emily is 6-2 and her height and rebounding are definitely a factor,” said Strube. “Olivia is another 6-footer who has gotten stronger and finishes with her left hand.

She’s worked really hard. Shayna is six-feet and is another girl who plays hard.”

Sophomores Heidi Westra and Jordyn Strube rounded out the summer contingent. “Heidi has

a lot of potential,” said Strube.

“She’s aggressive and plays good defense. She will be a fun addition. Jordyn is a good ball-handler and an extremely good passer.

She’s also a good outside shooter.

She’s going to help the girls inside.

She’s a point guard and shooting guard. It was fun to watch her and Allison Zeilstra work together and get to know each other.”

Strube already is looking forward to the official start of practice. “It’s a really good group of girls,” she said. “It’s been fun to see them improve and learn from what they do. Their hard work has paid off right away.”

IC Catholic Prep girls basketball team gets plenty of summer work Knights competed in Lisle summer league

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

With modern-day high-school sports, the summertime is for evaluation.

And IC Catholic Prep girls basketball coach Kelsey James had ample opportunity to do just that with her program during the recent summer slate.

The Knights competed in the Lisle summer league.

“Everybody got to play equally,”

said James. “Everybody got some experience. We brought all the sophomores through seniors and on the last day we let the incoming freshmen play.”

James, who graduated three players off last year’s squad, saw plenty she liked. “They all were on the same page,” she said. “The chemistry was very good.”

The summer season also allowed James to experiment with different lineups. “We switched up who was going in with who and we saw some different combinations and saw who played well with each

other. We got a very good feel for what we will be able to do this season.”

Defense was at the top of the impressive list for the second-year Knights’ coach. “Defensively we are going to be a lot better,” she said. “The girls have put in a lot of hard work. We put in some new defenses and we’ll see what they can do. We have a lot of potential on defense.”

And James sees that defensive potential rubbing off on the offense. “Hopefully our defense will create some easy offense,” she

up her game. She’s worked hard on the offensive side and is going to be a scoring threat for us.”

James said there is a big difference with her second summer season as compared to when she took over the program last year.

said.

IC Catholic Prep returns the likes of Claire Gibler, Jaida Smith and Sophie Zanoni. “Those are people who can contribute on the offensive side,” said James. “They are back and they have gotten better.”

James also lauded the summer work of incoming freshman Gabi Zanoni and veteran Tess Reardon.

“Gabi is a good player,” she said.

“We knew she was good but we weren’t sure how she would fit with the varsity. It was nice to see her work very well with the other varsity players. Tess has stepped

“The girls know what to expect,” she said. “With a lot of girls returning, they are helping the younger girls to see what our goal is and how we want to get there. We’ve been able to build on things over the summer and that’s only going to help us when the season starts.”
