Fall Art Exhibition at college explores artist’s large-scale prints, more

Jeanine Coupe Ryding presents ‘Coda For The Day’

Artist Jeanine Coupe Ryding is best known for her richly layered, inventive, and often monumental, woodcut prints. Her forms and color record her observations of nature and of daily life, described in her expressive gestural cutting into the wood block plate.

Elmhurst College will present “Coda for the Day,” an exhibition of her work, beginning on Aug. 15. Her exhibition comprises a selection of 15 large-scale relief prints, 11 artist books and eight collages from the last 10 years. The exhibition is curated by Doug Stapleton, associate curator of art at the Illinois State Museum.

“I am thrilled to host this exhibition of Jeanine Coupe Ryding’s work curated by Doug Stapleton,” said Suellen Rocca, curator and director of exhibits at Elmhurst Collee. “Both the curator and artist will discuss the exhibition at the public reception, which should provide great insight into the work.”

Ryding’s prints and artist books are in museum and

private collections throughout the U.S., Europe and Japan. She received her B.A. degree from the University of Iowa and her MFA from Universitat der Kunste in Berlin. She has received various awards and residencies, including from the Illinois Arts Council Award, Arts Midwest, Frans Masereel Center, Belgium and Anchor Graphics, Chicago. Ryding has been an adjunct associate professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago since 1991.

on a controversy with a great newspaper, and escape destruction unless he owns a newspaper equally great, with a circulation of the same neighborhood.”

Lincoln learned how to deal with a divided press just as he did with a divided country. “Mr. Lincoln understood the power of the press. He well understood the excesses of the media, especially during his presidency. On the whole, he was thick-skinned, but he did object to falsehoods, calumnies, libel and slander,” noted Lewis Lehrman, author of “Lincoln at Peoria: The Turning Point.”

“Lincoln’s genius with the press consisted primarily in presenting arguments for the Union cause and emancipation which prevailed over the common prejudices of the day. His fairmindedness, even in the face of vicious press attacks, was apparent to all—in the end, even to his enemies,” Lehrman said.

Holzer suggested that a lifetime of reading, writing and negotiating with newspapers laid the groundwork for what Lincoln was able to do as president: reach the public with letters to the editor spelling out his positions on some of the much-debated issues of the day.

“With his dramatic letters of 1862 and 1863, Lincoln in some ways wrote the big three New York editors out of the equation when it came to molding public opinion,” the historian noted.

Lincoln’s habit of maintaining close ties with members of the press as president didn’t always set well with members of his Cabinet.

Writing in his diary in 1864, Navy Secretary Gideon Welles complained: “It is an infirmity of the President that he permits the little news mongers to come around him and be intimate, and in this he is encouraged by (Secretary of State William) Seward, who does the same, and

even courts the corrupt and the vicious, which the President does not. He has great inquisitiveness.

Likes to hear all the political gossip as much as Seward. But the President is honest, sincere and confiding—traits which are not so prominent in some by whom he is surrounded.”

When it came to using the technology of the day, Lincoln learned about sending messages by wire from Charles Tinker, a telegraph operator he met at the Tazewell House hotel in Pekin in 1857. By the time he moved to Washington in 1860, Lincoln was well aware of how the telegraph operated and ways he could use it, stated Tom Wheeler, author of “Mr. Lincoln’s T-Mails: The Untold Story of How Abraham Lincoln Used the Telegraph to Win the Civil War.” Lincoln not only installed a telegraph office at the White House but used that office as a situation room, allowing the president to communicate with field commanders in the nearest thing to real time that was available in the 1860s, noted Wheeler, adding that Lincoln sent out almost 1,000 telegrams during his time in the executive office.

But speed of transmission wasn’t the only factor that made Lincoln a great communicator.

“Lincoln was a master political strategist.

He understood what it took to get the message out to people,” said Peter Schnall, a filmmaker whose “Lincoln@Gettysburg” program was shown on PBS in 2013.

The president’s 272-word Gettysburg Address was a good example of adapting his message to the media, Schnall said, “(Lincoln) knew the speech would be telegraphed across the nation; within 48 hours every newspaper as far as California had printed the speech straight on the front page, which is exactly what he was aiming for.”

Aug. 2 Jorge L. Vera, 21, of Villa Park, was charged with DUI and improper parking on a roadway, and was issued a citation for possession of cannabis at the Addison UP railroad tracks at

around 3:28 a.m.

July 30 Burglary was reported at a motel at around 1:30 a.m. Police said an unknown suspect entered a vehicle parked in the lot and stole a wallet that

Health department says ‘Fight the Bite’ to protect against West Nile virus Increase in infected mosquito samples raises risk level A spike in mosquito samples testing positive for West Nile virus (WNV) has the DuPage County Health Department reminding residents to protect themselves from mosquito bites and the risk of contracting WNV. The number of mosquito samples testing positive for WNV rose to 56 percent for the week ending Aug. 4, compared to 38 percent the previous week. The key factors in determining the degree of West Nile virus activity are temperatures and rainfall. In hot, dry weather, mosquitoes that carry West Nile virus (primarily Culex mosquitoes) breed in stagnant water like street catch basins and ditches, where they multiply rapidly.

“With the high number of mosquito samples testing positive for West Nile virus, it’s important to ‘Fight the Bite,’” said Karen Ayala, Health De-

partment Executive Director.

To protect yourself and your family, and help prevent mosquitoes from breeding around your home, follow the “4 Ds of Defense:” • Drain: Drain those items that collect standing water around your home, yard or business. Scrub and refill pet water dishes and bird baths regularly.

• Defend: Use an insect repellent containing DEET when outdoors and reapply according to directions.

• Dress: Wear long pants, long sleeves and closed-toe shoes when outside to cover the skin.

• Dusk to Dawn: Wear repellent outdoors during these prime times for mosquito activity.

Residents should check the Personal Protection Index (PPI) on the DuPage County Health Department’s website for the current WNV activi-

ty. The PPI ranges in risk level from zero-to-three, with zero being no activity and three announcing multiple human cases of WNV in DuPage County.

The current level is “2: Moderate Risk,” defined as high numbers of infected mosquitoes in most areas, at least one human case. The recommended actions: Drain, Defend, Dusk to Dawn.

Many community partners including townships, municipalities and park districts, also have the PPI widget posted to their homepages.

The PPI is updated every Wednesday at 3 p.m. all during the WNV season by the Health Department’s vector-borne disease surveillance experts. WNV activity generally decreases in the fall when cooler temperatures arrive and especially after the first frost of the season.

District 88 Board welcomes new member Haralambopoulos fills vacancy left

by Gillen’s resignation

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE INDEPENDENT

Tina Haralambopoulos might be new to the Board of Education, but she’s a familiar face to District 88.

In 2002, she graduated from Addison Trail High Tina School, where she was a member of Haralambopoulos the Varsity Girls Swim Team, the Blazettes and the Art Staff. Many of her family members are alumni of Addison Trail as well, including her parents, Art and Lisa Haralambopoulos; her sisters, Marissa Haralambopoulos and Nicole (Haralambopoulos) Katavic; her brother-in-law, Christian Katavic; several cousins, aunts and uncles; and her great-uncle, who is a member of the school’s very first graduating class.

At a Special Meeting of the District 88 Board of Education held on Aug. 2, Tina Haralambopoulos was appointed to the seat left vacant by the resignation of Timothy Gillen.

She will remain in that position until the Consolidated Election on April 2, 2019. She is an Addison Trail alumna (class of 2002), and she resides in Addison.

‘No greater gift than giving back’ “There is no greater gift than giving back to the district that played a large part in my life,” Haralambopoulos said. “I have been a resident of Addison for the majority of my life and attended Addison public schools for eight years – including being an alumna of Addison Trail.”

After earning her associate degree in science from C.O.D., her B.A. in elementary education from NIU, and her M.A. in curriculum and instruction from Concordia University, Haralambopoulos continues pursuing her doctoral degree in organizational leadership. Seven years ago, she began her career as an elementary teacher at a private school in Schaumburg. Haralambopoulos now teaches English as a Second Language (ESL) at a hybrid charter school in Chicago. Through those positions, she has served on the

Ten international students graduate from EC’s Summer Immersion Program As part of Elmhurst College’s ongoing efforts to become a more global campus, the College recently celebrated 10 international high school students who took part in the second annual Elmhurst College 2018 Summer Immersion Program.

During the nearly month-long academic and cultural program, international students experienced what college life is like by immersing themselves in the fun and excitement of a busy Chicago summer.

They took a course in global business and learned about choosing and attending a college in the U.S. They also plunged into a whirlwind of cultural activities that included Major League Baseball, high-end shopping, Chicago sight-

seeing, and a camping trip.

At the program’s graduation ceremony on Aug. 1, the students, who have come from different cities and high schools in Vietnam and Greece, received a certificate of achievement, college credit for their coursework and a $2,000 scholarship. They also were enthusiastically invited to rejoin the Elmhurst College community one day, as full-time students.

“We created this program because we wanted to provide international students with a unique experience,” said Timothy Ricordati, vice president for admission.

“America always has been, and always will be, a place that welcomes everyone from around the world.

Hopefully, over the last three and

a half weeks, Elmhurst College has provided a little of that welcome to you. What you have seen here is truly what America is about.”

President Troy D. VanAken said the Summer Immersion Program is “paving the way for Elmhurst College to become even more of a

Wisconsin’s pizza farms: Not your typical take-out

You’ve heard of dairy farms, and cattle farms…but have you ever heard of a pizza farm? That’s right – here in Wisconsin, you can head down to the farm for fresh, delicious pizza, packed with ingredients that taste like they were just picked this morning (because honestly, they probably were.) Check them out!

AtoZ Produce and Bakery – Stockholm AtoZ Produce and Bakery, located just east of the Mississippi River, has developed quite the following for their highly regarded pizza nights.

Each summer, AtoZ opens their doors to serve unique, wood fired pizzas to hoards of hungry customers.

Wait times increase as the days get warmer, but pizza will be served rain or shine. While your pizza is cooking, relax with a drink and soak up some sun on the lawn. If you’re in a rush and can’t stay to enjoy the atmosphere, the folks at AtoZ are be more than happy to fix you up a pizza to go.

Stoney Acres Farm – Athens Stoney Acres offers a range of seasonal pizzas in addition to their rotating selection of specials. If pizza isn’t enough on your visit, don’t forget to check out the farmer’s market stand for some fresh produce (and maybe even some sweets!) to take home with you. They also feature various local area and artisan cheeses from across Wisconsin. Think of Stoney Acres Farm as your one stop farm shop!

Suncrest Gardens Farm – Cochrane Suncrest Gardens Farm, settled in

the serene Yaeger Valley, is the perfect farm for a pizza dinner. Woodfired pizzas are cooked in less than two minutes, thanks to their handmade, Italian-style oven. Suncrest also offers a gluten free option for those with special dietary needs. Be sure to check their website for a full schedule of live music throughout the season!

LoveTree Farmstead Cheese – Grantsburg This Wisconsin cheesemaker is a natural spot to enjoy some “Pizza by the Pond.” LoveTree bakes their woodfired pizzas using their best ingredients, like cave aged cheeses and dough. Kids will love visiting the sheep, llamas, and other animals around the farm, and there’s plenty of space to spread out for

Willowbrook football team to play five homes games this season Warriors open with three in a row in Villa Park

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Willowbrook football team will get plenty of opportunities to play in front of its fans this year, particularly in the first third of the season.

The Warriors, who won the West Suburban Conference Gold Division title last year with a perfect 6-0 mark and advanced to the quarterfinal round of the state playoffs, will play five games at home this season, including the first three of the year.

Willowbrook will open the season at home Friday, Aug. 24 at 7:30 p.m., against Chicago Curie. The longtime traditional opener against neighbor

Glenbard East is no more. Glenbard East now is a member of the Upstate Eight Conference (that has 10 teams) and must play an entire conference schedule.

The Warriors then host Hinsdale Central in a West Suburban Conference crossover game on Friday, Aug. 31 at 7:30 p.m.

Willowbrook begins defense of its Gold Division title with a Friday Sept.

7 game at home against Leyden (7:30 p.m. start).

The Warriors will head to Addison in Week 4 for the annual District 88 meeting on Friday, Sept. 14 at 7:30 p.m.

Willowbrook returns home in Week 5 to host Hinsdale Central on Friday, Sept. 21 at 7:30 p.m.

The usual meeting with neighbor York occurs on Friday, Sept. 28 at 7:30 p.m. in Elmhurst this year.

Morton comes to Villa Park in Week 7 for a WSC Gold game on Friday, Oct. 5 at 7:30 p.m.

The Warriors then end their regular season with two road games. Willowbrook heads to Maywood on Friday, Oct. 12 at 7:15 p.m. against Proviso East and then heads to Downers Grove South in Week 9 for a Friday, Oct. 19 contest at 7:30 p.m.

Willowbrook, which went 10-2 a year ago, will face three teams that made the 2017 playoffs in Hinsdale South (went to the second round), Hinsdale Central (went to the second round) and Chicago Curie (which finished 9-4).

Four teams on Willowbrook’s schedule last year had winning records.

The combined 2017 record for all nine of Willowbrook’s opponents this year is 38-51.

Addison Trail student-athletes Fenton football team kicks off 2018 season cited for spring excellence

By Mike Miazga

CORRESPONDENT

More than 50 players earn all-academic honors

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Addison Trail student-athletes excelled both in the classroom and on the field this past spring.

The Blazers had 51 student-athletes earn spring allacademic conference honors, while many others were honored for their athletic achievements.

In girls badminton, Mary Grace Mutia, Kasiz Czepiel and Bianca Piscopo earned all-conference honors, while Mutia, Czepiel, Thannia Arteaga, Martyna Bednarska, Edith Cabral, Robessa Llanto, Karina Lopez, Magdelena Marek, Emily Onorato, Piscopo and Destiny Reyes were all-academic honorees.

In baseball, Angelo Pahopos, Trevor Fulmer, Simon Marinelli, Michael Scali and AJ Parnell earned allconference honors, while Pahopos, Fulmer, Marinelli, Parnell, Matt Crandell, Michael Ruffolo and Bryan Peters were all-academic award winners.

For boys gymnastics, Caleb Michaliska, Matt Wojdak and Jakub Sitko were all-conference selections. Wojdak earned an all-state award for his performance in the state meet.

Sophia Hawkins was an all-conference pick for the Addison Trail softball team. Katie Lacni, Nicolette Scorza, Gianna Fugarino, Ramon Casey Jr., Gianna Trippiedi and Alexa Giometti were all-academic picks.

Berenice Berumen and Lucia Fullone were allconference in girls soccer for the Blazers. Berumen, Sandy Herrera, Perla Gomez, Natalie Cabrera and Linda Diego were all-academic honorees.

In boys tennis, Daniel Maretinez, Alex Velasquez, Kenny Bartkiewicz, Nicco Savinos and Miachel Szydlowski were all-academic award winners.

Lukas Rodriguez, Cesar Merrera and Jonathan Chambers Green were all-conference selections. Nick Czorniak, Miguel Gutierrez, Randall Petrbok, David Reyes, Ryan Sheehan, Nick D’Ambrose and Braden Whitaker were all-academic honorees.

Viviana Sanfilippo, Stefania Camaci and Maggie

“

I am so proud of Eric and Kenny. They have worked so hard this past year and they are very deserving of this honor, not only to represent Benedictine, but also represent the United States.”

– Keith Bunkenburg, Benedictine coach

O’Connell were all-conference selections, while Camaci, Natasha Olivera, Yesennia Tiscareno and Katarina Sirjancev were all-academic choices.

Jacob Grygo, David Zielinski, Bryan Florian and Mikey Strycharz were all-conference selections in boys volleyball. Grygo, Zielinski, Florian, Strycharz, Michael Chiarmonte and Michael Pudlo were all-academic picks.

Grygo earned all-state and all-area honors from other media outlets.

Eric Grygo to Brazil Jacob Grygo’s older brother, Eric, was chosen earlier this summer to be part of the USA DIII Basketball 2018 Brazil tour. Eric Grygo plays basketball at Benedictine University in Lisle.

The U.S. men’s teams started their tour July 16 in Orlando with a team orientation and then flew to Sao Paulo, Brazil to begin practice on July 17. Games started on July 18. While in Brazil, the team experienced educational, cultural and social aspects of Brazilian life through city, school and sports club visits, USA DIII Basketball said.

Grygo’s teammate at Benedictine, Kenny Bogus, also made the trip.

“I am so proud of Eric and Kenny,” Benedictine coach Keith Bunkenburg said in a Benedictine news release. “They have worked so hard this past year and they are very deserving of this honor, not only to represent Benedictine, but also represent the United States.”

The first week of high-school football practices in Illinois always is filled with plenty of anticipation.

Fenton High School was no exception last week.

“The first week of football always is a blessing,” said second-year Fenton coach Matt Lynch. “It went well. I have no complaints. The guys worked hard and they are learning. That’s all I can ask for. That first day of practice, there always is a big excitement to get started. It’s great to get back into the swing of things. Everything is good.”

Lynch said the biggest difference between his first summer as coach last year and now is knowledge-based.

“It’s the learning curve,” he said.

“Last year we got started late and there was a lot of coaching the coaches and getting the kids up to speed. Now, everybody is up to speed and we can focus on preparing the players.”

Lynch liked what he saw during the first week of practices. “I liked how hard our kids competed,” he said. “I also liked our retention, for sure. We were able to retain a lot of knowledge from the summer. That’s a pleasant thing to deal with.”

Lynch also is excited about the versatility and depth the program has developed in a short timeframe. “We have a lot of different players here,” he said.

“That’s been a positive this summer to have the number of different players we have who can play in a game. Instead of using the same kids over and over, we’re able to play a lot of different players. It makes a huge difference and it’s become a huge benefit for us, for the kids and for the program. It gives us the opportunity to compete for all four quarters when you have multi-

ple players playing.”

Lynch said that depth comes from hard work. “I attribute it to the development of the players,” he said. “We’ve done a lot of hard work developing kids in the offseason to get them ready.”

Fenton will face a new challenge this season when it shifts to the Metro Suburban Conference Red Division, which features more of the smaller-enrollment schools in the conference, including St. Edward, Elmwood Park, Chicago Christian, Guerin Prep and Ridgewood.

“I haven’t spent much time thinking about it,” said Lynch. “It’s so new to me. I will take this as a learning experience and see how the structure of the conference goes. As the season goes on, I’ll have a better understanding of it. Right now, it’s kind of a wait-andsee approach. We’ll see how the conference lines up.”

Fenton used its 25 contact days throughout the summer, including competing in several 7-on-7 events.

“We spread our contact days out throughout the summer,” said Lynch.

“We did a fair amount of 7-on-7s and saw a fair amount of competition. We wanted to get a good mix of competition. We concentrated on schools our size and bigger.”

One of the 7-on-7 events occurred at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

Looking ahead, Lynch is excited about the 2018 season and one of the reasons is the makeup of his roster.

“They are great kids who get along together,” he said. “They work together quite well. Every coach (wishes) to have that. They like being around each other and they encourage each other. That’s a huge plus to have for any team.”

Nicor Gas reinforces safe digging practices for National 811 Day Learn more about natural gas safety at www.nicorgas.com/safety.

Calls can be made 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

• Wait the required amount of time for marking: Locators will mark the underground utility lines with color-coded paint, flags or stakes that correspond to utility types. Yellow is used for natural gas.

• Respect the marks: Use the appropriate digging methods to dig no closer than 18 inches from the marked underground utility lines and request remarking when marks are damaged, removed or no longer visible.

• Excavate carefully: If a natural gas line is accidently damaged or the smell of the distinctive, rotten-egg odor associated with natural gas is present, call Nicor Gas at 888-642-6748 or 911 once you are out of the area of the suspected leak and in a safe place. Do not attempt to repair, clamp or constrict a damaged utility line. Be sure to stay away until Nicor Gas or emergency personnel indicate it is safe to return.

To ensure the highest level of safety, Nicor Gas continues to support National 811 Day, recognized each Aug. 11 (8/11), by joining other utility companies, one-call centers, damage prevention advocates and professional contractors to raise public awareness that state law requires a call to 811 before starting any outdoor digging projects.

Making a toll-free call to 811 in advance of digging projects, such as planting a garden, building a deck or putting in a swimming pool, can help prevent injuries, property damages and inconvenient utility outages.

Nicor Gas encourages homeowners and contractors to follow the below safe digging guidelines: • Call 811 before you dig: This first step, which should be done at least two working days prior to excavating (excludes weekends and holidays), connects you to the JULIE one-call center to begin the process of having your underground utility lines located for free.

Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty develops Elmhurst One 95

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE INDEPENDENT

According to a release issued by Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty, a new development project is coming to 195 No. Addison Ave. in downtown Elmhurst.

Called Elmhurst One 95, the project will feature 20 elegant, maintenance-free residences located close to City Centre. All residences feature large open floor plans, three bedrooms plus a den, 2.5 baths, 10-foot ceilings and private outdoor terraces.

Each unit is flooded with natural light and contains almost the same square footage as a single-family home with no wasted space.

Prices will range from $799,900$1,100,000. Elmhurst One 95 is appointed with designer finishes, including Wolf/Sub-Zero and Kohler products.

The traditional design will “feel familiar to long-time local residents who are looking to downsize” as well as newcomers who are ready to join the community, according to the release. It points out the “urban walkability” to local retailers and restaurants, easy access to downtown Chicago from the nearby Metra station, and other destinations within walking distance such as York Theatre, City Hall, the Elm-

hurst Public Library, Wilder Park, the Elmhurst Art Museum, Fitness Formula Club, the Fruitful Yield Organic Grocery and much more.

One of the project developers is Nick DiCosola of DiCosola Group, a longtime resident of the western suburbs.

“I’m extremely passionate about this community and I’m excited for the opportunity to build Elmhurst one of our signature, quality products,” he said.

For more information on Elmhurst One 95, call (630) 339-7425 or visit ElmhurstOne95.com.

Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty located at 425 W. North Ave. in Chicago, is the leading the sales of the project.
