‘Battle Tested’ at ICGS builds muscles, minds, and morals Seventh graders participate, meet program’s developer Immaculate Conception Grade School sixth, seventh, and eighth graders are participating in a program this fall that is meant to challenge their physical, mental, and moral strength. “Battle Tested,” a team-building program developed by Blake Williams, is being utilized at ICGS over the course of several weeks as a way to prepare the students for the future battles life will throw at them. All of the “battles” or challenges are done in groups, some involving the entire class of students and some involving small teams. Each challenge is designed to test the team’s physical ability and mental toughness. Skills necessary for success in these challenges include integrity, commitment, courage, loyalty, teamwork, leadership, and service.
Correction
In last week’s Independent, a story about the upcoming Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot appeared which included information about Elmhurst resident Kevin Calkins. The story incorrectly said Calkins had contributed $10,000 in funds for the Vietnam Memorial in Wilder Park. Calkins raised $10,000 in private and civic funds for the project, he did not donate the funds himself. The Independent regrets the error.

Well, it’s official. For the past ten years or so, Elmhurst has been waiting and waiting as all the negotiations went down around a project formerly known as Hahn Street. One difficulty with the project was the 2008 financial crunch that more or less put everything on hold in the real estate and mortgage industries everywhere. So the project sat. But now it is no longer Hahn St.,
it is Elmhurst 255. It is a new ultraluxury apartment building located at 255 No York St. in Elmhurst, near North Avenue. The 192-unit residential building boasts high-end lifestyle and design offerings and several onsite amenities. In addition, there are 12,000 square feet of on-site retail that has been developed, built, and managed by Morningside Group, a Chicago-based firm that has built a reputation for high quality design
and property management in Elmhurst and throughout Chicago for 23 years. There are 32 different open floor plan options at Elmhurst 255 containing walk-in closets, chef’s kitchens, luxury baths, and 9’ to 11’ loft-like ceilings. Outside of the individual apartment homes, residents can enjoy heated indoor parking, a theater, fitness center, community room and a courtyard with a pool, bocce court, grilling stations, fire pits and more.
“As the first rental development in Elmhurst in over 20 years, we are proud to introduce a new, luxury option,” said Morningside President David Strosberg. “The combination of expansive community amenities and walkability truly creates an ease-of-lifestyle rarely found in suburban Chicago.” Elmhurst 255 offers a mix of studio, one bedroom, one bedroom + study, two bedroom and three bedroom apartments.

Scott Levin (5th Ward), chairman of the Development, Planning and Zoning (DPZ) Committee, said. “It took many many

months. There were a lot of opinions. It is not perfect but it is pretty good.” He noted that there was input from the City Centre organization, the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry and residents. Levin noted that the Zoning and Planning Commission spent much time on this issue including holding two public workshops prior to conducting a public hearing. A City document stated, “Regulation of signs by the City is intended to promote and protect public health, safety and welfare by reducing the depreciation of property values caused by signs that are incompatible with surrounding land uses: By creating a more attractive economic and business climate within the offices and commercial areas of the City; By enhancing and protecting the physical appearance of all areas of
the City; By protecting signs from obstruction by other signs; By reducing the distractions, obstructions and hazards to pedestrians and auto traffic caused by the indiscriminate placement and use of signs.” “I have been outspoken over the years about allowing sidewalk signs,” said Bram. “I have concerns regarding safety of the signs which have been pushed up against the walls of stores and can cause problems for pedestrians.” His proposed amendment to allow the sidewalks signs for 90 days for new businesses from March to October was defeated for lack of a second. Resident Michael Krumrey, a long-time opponent of sidewalk signs, came to the City Council meeting with an A-frame sign with hand lettering asking, “How does this sign increase sales?” He questioned how City officials would
enforce aspects such as requiring removal of the signs during high winds or during times of snow. He asked how high the winds would have to be or how much snow would fall before removal of the signs would be required. Some aspects of the text amendments include: Projecting signs may only be allowed as a conditional use on Schiller Court and the City Centre Walkway; Sidewalk signs are not limited to A-frame construction; Only one additional sidewalk sign is allowed for buildings along Schiller Court and City Centre Way; Adding lights that border windows to the prohibited sign list; Clarifying that glass doors may have signs: Removing video and video boards from the definition of electronic display signs.

Slices of life I have a friend who reads clocks. Not reads in the typical sense of noting the time, but reads as in looking to see patterns in the numbers. There is a certain beauty in in discovering order or meaningful sequences and my thoughtful friend finds this in clocks. After she told me about her habit (slash obsession) I was intrigued. What patterns could I find? Before you could say “time out” I was in. Ever since I too have been a clock reader. There are countless numerical sequences a clock reader observes at specific times during the day. It’s a combination of a game and an art form intertwined in a delicate dance of numbers. What I find intriguing and enticing is that even though numbers are rigid and unchanging, there is an abundance of creativity involved with clock watching. The patterns
The clock reader By

are practically infinite, as long as you stay within the 4-digit, base-60 system that time is based upon. (The technical term for this is sexagesimal. I slipped it in because I thought it was a sexy vocabulary word we all should learn.) While a clock reader isn’t confined to any certain patterns, a few are obvious. One of the most undeniable is 11:11, which is so well known it even has its own Wiki page. Some say when you see 11:11 on the clock you should make a wish. Others say
you should pray. Still others believe it is a sign of good luck. I just appreciate the pattern. As I do for 10:10 and 12:12, even though they are not as pure, in my humble opinion. I also watch for the palindromeish times: 10:01, 12:21, 1:01 and so on. They read the same forward as backwards, which is almost as exciting as riding in a race car. The same goes for orderly clock times, the main one being 12:34 and lesser so: 2:34, 3:45 and of course 4:56, but it ends there as there is no 5:67, which I suppose would technically be 6:07 if we are being sexagesimally correct. (See how I found a way to sneak in our vocabulary word?) You can also go backward with the order. 6:54, 5:43, and so on. But I’ll refrain from remarking on the obvious. Algebra exists in time. 3:39 has a certain synchronicity when you real-
ize 3 multiplied by 3 equals 9. Once you understand the formula, times like 4:48, 7:43 and 2:24 will never be just random numbers ever again. You can’t disavow knowledge like that. It’s like gaining the key to a secret world. Then there are dates. My wedding anniversary is July 11, so I have the opportunity to see 7:11 at least twice a day. I hardly ever catch it. My husband’s birthday, June 8, equates to 6:08. My kids’ birthdays are, 11:18, 2:05, 7:28 and 11:28. Each day of the year has a corresponding clock time. Every 24 hours we have the opportunity to see our own birthdays not once, but twice. Finding the joy and excitement in details like that is what clock watching – and life – is all about. Finally there are familiar number sequences found in the commercial world. 7:47 reminds me of airplanes; 4:11 is the number I call for
directory assistance; 5:05 looks like a cry for help. I could go on and on, but I probably already have. Despite my lack of actual math skills, I’ve always found numbers comforting. I count when faced with a stressful or difficult task – like exercising or giving birth. I find a semi-enjoyment in balancing the checkbook each month. I enjoy studying statistics – as long as they relate to fantasy football. And I’m a clock reader. Right now it is exactly 3:33. There’s a certain tranquility in that. At least there is, for those of us in the club. (You know who you are.)

French women don’t get fat and other lies
W
hen I left for France a decade ago, my coworkers gifted me the book French Women Don’t Get Fat, which proved to be fascinatingly true. My experience that year revealed that women (and men) in La France were svelte and stylish. Fast-ƒforward ten years. France has gone casual. The populace is not exactly fat and sloppy, but now a chic woman catches my eye. Ten years ago all women were dressed nicely 24/7 at the market, the café, everywhere. A simple sundress or skirt and a bit of a heel. Les femmes just looked so put together, so feminine, so slim. My fashion police senses are slightly obsessed with how different things feel now. All shapes and sizes and wardrobes. Back then no female over eight years old wore shorts. Now shorts are the norm. Cut off jean shorts on the young, varying styles on the old. And heels are rare. Flat white tennies are now chic. Remember when travel agents told Americans to not wear solid white tennis shoes to Europe? Adidas, New Balance, Puma, and Nike are now the rage. I can’t speak for Paris, but here in the south of France, Converse is king (and queen). My Prince and I could have worn our Chuck Taylors and fit right in. Food is a tad more American too. Burgers, a non-entity ten years ago, are on many menus. I was re-

In fact, my prince and I became quite enamored with the wine glasses at many of the restaurants. We lieved to see that French women at searched in every store and online least eat the burger and bun with knife and fork. Pizzas are still served one per person and restaurants provide the French pizza knife, but I cannot find any for sale in stores. Pizza cutters now exist. Many boulangeries and corner shops now offer pizzas for take away so seeing people walking through town with a pizza box is a common sight. Call it evolution and I am old guard. Part of the appeal of France is the French staunchness for history, tradition, and style. And cuisine. The French government now allows McDonalds more and more (even at the Louvre in Paris) and Colonel Sanders is becoming a French staple. KFCs are in many larger villages, along with Burger King and other local fast food and burger joints. The times are a-changing. Yet some things remain the same. No screens on the windows. Lots of hand holding and public displays of affection. The bread and the wine, oh la la, and food is still revered and wonderfully prepared and presented. We are eating very
to find the same thing, but to no avail. We asked one proprietor if we could buy some glasses from him, he said no. They were only available to professional restaurants. We went to another café and that owner gifted us eight glasses. People are people, and the world keeps turning. Food and fashion may be fickle, but the fun of travel
and discovery never fades. Even if the French have put on a few pounds.

Elmhurst Children’s Theatre to present ‘Beauty and the Beast’
Walks like a beast. Talks like a beast. But is he really a beast? Find out when you step into an enchanted world with the Elmhurst Children’s Theatre production of “Beauty and the Beast” October 14, 15 and 16. ECT’s timing for this stage production couldn’t be better. With the recent release of the 25th anniversary edition of the animated film and a live-action movie coming in March of 2017, there’s beast buzz in the air. Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” was the first full-length animated feature film in history to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture (1991). The show then premiered on Broadway in 1994, where it was nominated for nine prestigious Tony Awards and ran for 13 years. It ranks as one of the longest-running and highest-grossing Broadway shows of all time. The ECT production includes favorite musical numbers from the animated film plus a few new songs written especially for Broadway. Sandburg Middle School sixth-grader Ava Gecsey, part of the ensemble, is new to ECT. She said the music is both familiar and exciting. “The harmonies are kind of challenging, but when you get it and everyone is singing their parts, it sounds really cool,” said Gecsey. The music lends itself to large all-cast dance numbers, including showstopCOURTESY PHOTO Elmhurst Independent per “Be Our Guest” which involves Practice makes perfect… Tessa Olson (right) and fellow cast members rehearse complex harmonies for Elmhurst Children’s Theatre’s dancing dinnerware. ECT choreogra- “Beauty and the Beast.” pher Sara Zgonina said dance is particularly important to this show. She’s identified certain cast members as featured dancers to help mentor the group. “I think audiences are going to be really inspired by all of the dancing in the show,” said Zgonina. “Hopefully, they will leave the theater wanting to try dancing themselves.” Director David Rice and Music Director Lisa Griffith are impressed by the dedication and hard work the young actors have demonstrated. “I expect a lot from the kids, and so does David,” said Griffith. “We don’t mess around. I think that when you raise the bar high, kids will often meet and exceed your expectations.” Griffith has worked with ECT for 15 years and has seen the group evolve, getting better and better each year. “Elmhurst has become a hotbed for music talent,” she said. “We have so many kids that are really just exceptional. But they’re not only talented, they’re good people and they work well together.” Performances are Oct. 14 at 7 p.m., Oct. 15 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., and Oct. 16 at 2 p.m. The show will take place on the stage of Bryan Catholic Montessori Education Middle School, 111 W Butterfield Catholic Montessori Road.

State behind in payments to residents owed money in legal claims
Illinois is reportedly over a year behind on payments to individuals who are owed money by the state through legal claims. The individuals include those who have suffered injury or monetary damage as a result of the state’s actions and have won their cases against the State of Illinois in the Court of Claims, which serves any citizen with a claim of monetary damages or personal injury against a state agency or state employee. Rich Carter, spokesman for the Illinois Comptroller’s Office, said the office has no input on who receives payments or when. “The Comptroller’s Office doesn’t make any decisions on who gets paid and who doesn’t; it’s just a matter of when we get a voucher from an agency, then we make a payment,” he said. Once a state agency approves the funding, they send a voucher to the Comptroller’s Office, which the office then pays. Carter said that because the General Assembly has yet to pass a balanced budget, the office has been unable to pay out any bills on time. “We have, right now, more than 83,000 unpaid vouchers that are sitting in our system that we don’t have the money to pay because we are more than $8 billion in bill

Manufacturing-sector advocates say Illinois faces skilled-worker shortage Illinois needs to start thinking now about how to fill a looming skills gap for potential employees in the manufacturing sector. Friday is Manufacturing Day in North America, and Fabricators and Manufacturers Association, International, President and CEO Ed Youdell is taking the opportunity to sound the alarm. Youdell said a national manufacturing talent shortage is looming. “We have baby boomers retiring at a rate of 10,000 a day, so there’s the potential in 10 years to have 2.5 million jobs unfilled because we don’t
have the right skill sets in place to fill those positions,” he said. Illinois Manufacturers’ Association (IMA) President and CEO Greg Baise said there needs to be a better alignment from early education all the way through high school graduation to increase the skills of the workforce. “The retirees that are just there, let alone the vacancies that occur every day in a manufacturing facility, needs the skilled workforce trained for those opportunities,” he said. Meanwhile, the manufacturing industry creates more than just tangible goods. It also generates economic
State Rep. wants free in-state tuition at Illinois public colleges Intends to make college tuition-free even for undocumented immigrants ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK
A state lawmaker, flanked by young activists, released details of his plan to make Illinois’ public universities tuition-free, but it would come with a price tag for taxpayers. State Rep. Will Guzzardi, DChicago, provided some details of his plan to make all Illinois public universities and community colleges tuition-free. Guzzardi said the ambitious plan would cost $2 billion. He said he would fund it by establishing a progressive tax, an additional millionaire’s tax and close what he calls “egregious corporate loopholes.” “We’re talking about raising taxes on the very wealthiest of Illinoisans, closing corporate loopholes and using that money to make school tuition free for every student,” he said. “It will lift the burden of debt off the next generation, it will enable our young people to start their careers with firm economic footing, and it will make our universities vibrant places of learning for the long term.” Though a 3 percent millionaire tax to be spent on schools was popular in a 2014 advisory referendum, the measure could not garner the support needed in the General Assembly. A referendum that would have asked Illinoisans about instituting a progressive tax also failed. Both of

these measures are central to Guzzardi’s Tuition-Free Illinois plan. Guzzardi did not mention additional costs, such as room and board, books, transportation and other fees, which a College Board survey said totaled more than $14,000 on average last year. Studies done on other wealthy countries that have offered free tuition have shown spikes in attendance, but lower graduation rates. Tying tuition to state funds also would subject them to the volatility of Illinois’ budget. The progressive Campaign for Free College Tuition said the state would lose $1.45 billion in foregone tuition if the state offered tuition-free school. However, its study also said the cost would “be much higher” because students in private colleges would move to public universities for the free education, something seen in similar situations. The study did not note whether the cost could jump more if nearby states aren’t offering free schooling, attracting students to establish residence here, if only for the degree. Guzzardi said he also intends to make college tuition-free for undocumented immigrants. He said he plans to file the legislation in January.

backlog,” he said. People seeking compensation from the state through the Court of Claims will have to continue to wait for a while for payouts. “Revenue comes in the form of taxes… comes into the State of Illinois every day. It averages about $100 million a day,” he added, “but when you have over $8 billion in unpaid bills, you obviously don’t have enough (money) to pay.” Currently, the Comptroller’s Office is working on paying vouchers from June. The problem will continue until the Assembly can pass a balanced budget, which will allow the Comptroller’s Office to receive more money and help them be able to make payments quickly and
catch up on the backlog of vouchers. Carter said the state first makes payments it is required to by law and court order before finally making payments to average citizens. “In general, everything else that is not required by law to be paid on certain dates or not required by court order to be paid on certain dates comes in at the back of the line,” he said. Citizens cannot collect their awards until the Illinois General Assembly approves the payment. Each year, approximately 8,500 cases are filed against the State of Illinois with the Court of Claims, according to the Illinois Secretary of State’s office.
activity that supports the industry and its employees, something Illinois could be losing out on. Youdell said it makes sense that there’s a lot of competition among all 50 states for manufacturing jobs “because of the value of manufacturing.” “For every dollar invested, $1.40 is returned,” he said. “So with a strong manufacturing base, you can support the dry cleaner and the Starbucks and the movie theater down the street, and as we all know, we all want to
have those kinds of job opportunities and employers in our communities.” While other Midwest states have gained tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs, IMA said Illinois is losing out because the state is not competitive. Baise said the average annual pay, including benefits, in Illinois’ manufacturing industry is $74,000. Dozens of manufacturing-centered events are taking place today and throughout October across Illinois.

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT
Timothy Christian High School recently hosted its annual homecoming festivities in conjunction with a Trojans’ boys soccer game. Timothy defeated Guerin Prep 9-0. Besides the soccer game and fellowship among Timothy alums, the school also celebrated the 60th anniversary of its “Red and White” fight song and the 60th anniversary of the formation of the pom-pom squad at the school. The current Timothy pom-pom members and cheerleaders performed a routine during the singing of the song, while pom-pom alumni were invited to attend and support the squad, Timothy Christian Director of Alumni Relations Jay Evenhouse noted. Evenhouse added the school fight song has an interesting origin. The lyrics to the song were written by former student Alice Wiersema DeGroot as part of a contest to come up with a school fight song. Those lyrics were put to music by the band director at the time, who had originally come up with the musical compilation for a college assignment while in school getting his teaching degree. Other key activities during homecoming included the flag being raised between games during the National Anthem with the help of three alumni from the Class of 1966, who were celebrating their 50th reunion. The gentlemen who raised the flag all were veterans of the Vietnam War. Also at halftime, the school’s alumni association honored alumni who had major accomplishments during their time at Timothy. This year, alumni that had accomplishments in a year ending in six were honored. That included Phil Sikenga, a state-champion in the 110 high hurdles in 1996 and the 2006 mock trial team that won the state title and placed third in the nation. Sikenga and a representative of the mock trial team accepted alumni medals and enjoyed memories from their
seasons from their coaches who attended the ceremony, Evenhouse noted. The Legacy Alumni, which is any alum who has celebrated a 50th anniversary of their graduation or older, enjoyed a special desert reception in the school during the varsity game. The next day featured a pancake breakfast with inflatables in the gym for kids. The homecoming dance took place that Saturday night, while the classes of 1963 and 1966 had reunions at various locations. Between the junior-varsity and varsity soccer games, the student council hosted the homecoming court and crowned a new king and queen. Allison Zeilstra (girls tennis in the fall) is this year’s queen, while Tommy Troxel (boys cross-country in the fall) is this year’s homecoming king. Other members of the homecoming court include seniors Madeleine Monat, Zoe Stanton, Hope Zastrow, Joey Davidson, Trevor Hoogendoorn and Joshua Kalapala, juniors Catherine Carter, Yanni Gu, Emily Kiefer, Connor Gwaltney, Shakir Tharpe and Nico Zhu, sophomores Abygale Ahn, Lindsay Mahler, Matthew Bootsma and Matthew VanZeelt and freshmen Leah Haft and Carson Hooker. Evenhouse noted this was the third year Timothy Christian has held homecoming outdoors during the fall. “It used to be in the winter during basketball season,” he said. “It’s taken some getting used to and some people wonder why we have it during the fall now. When you have it outside, it promotes fellowship. You can walk around and meet more people instead of at a basketball game where you are in your chair until the game is over. You can do a lot more conversing with your grade and other alumni you knew at Timothy. I enjoy watching all the people reuniting. It’s great to see people from different eras and classes hanging around in a group and catching up with each other.”

Library Insiders offers programming for adults with developmental disabilities Surveying a roomful of baking enthusiasts at Elmhurst Public Library, Tom Morissette was given the task of judging pies created during an afternoon program called Iron Chef. Tom, by his own admission, prefers salads over sweets, but he takes his job seriously. He shakes the hand of each participant and carefully studies each creation before deciding on the score: two thumbs up. In the back row, a young man looks down at his empty pie plate, a telltale dab of whipped cream at the corner of his mouth. He shrugs and gives a winning smile. “My tummy is happy,” he laughed. Programs like this and others are part of the Library Insiders, an ongoing series of programming designed specially for adults with developmental disabilities. Earlier this year, Elmhurst Public Library launched the Next Chapter Book Club, part of a national organization of the same name. Library staff received special training from Ups for Downs, a volunteer parent organization in Schaumburg, to facilitate the twice-monthly meetings aimed toward maintaining literacy skills for adults with developmental disabilities, particularly those who are aging out of the school system. “Oftentimes when you’re the parent or have a disability, you isolate yourself, because you don’t feel that the programs are for you,” said Outreach Librarian Kristin Sanderson. “We’re a community library. Part of our mission is to give all members of

Getting just the right combination of ingredients is crucial to pie making. Kim Calkins, EPL’s programming coordinator, passes samples around during a Library Insiders program, designed specifically for adults with developmental disabilities.

our community access to connecting with other people, creating things, and exploring new ideas.” Patricia Yaeger, Morissette’s cousin, says the new variety of programming makes the Library even more of a favorite place to go. “Tom is often attracted to activities designed for school-age children, which might not necessarily be appropriate,” she said. “Programs like [the Library Insiders] make Tom feel even more excited about
“It’s great to invite this underserved community into our Library to participate. And it’s great to pair the typically-abled volunteers with the developmentally disabled and see those relationships grow.” Yeager agrees. “Tom is very social,” she says. “He loves meeting new people. The Library Insiders programming gives him the opportunity to connect with others outside his usual circle of family and friends, and I think most
coming to the Library. It’s nice to be at a program designed for him.” High school age or adult volunteers can be a Library Buddy, a program that matches volunteers with adults with developmental disabilities so they can attend programs together. Kim Calkins, adult programming coordinator at Elmhurst Library says the Library Insiders programs have been the highlight of her year. “It’s been absolute joy,” she says.
people he meets feel better about their day after just a few minutes talking with Tom. He has a way of spreading joy wherever he goes.” Outreach Librarian Kristin Sanderson is available to answer questions and provide more information about the Library Insiders programs, events, and volunteer opportunities.

Timothy Christian boys soccer team wins conference title Allen, Martens and Anderson leading the way for Trojans
By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT
The Timothy Christian boys soccer team secured the Metro Suburban Conference Red Division title after a recent 7-0 victory on the road against Chicago Christian. The win moved the Trojans to 11-4-1 overall and 7-0 in MSC Red play. “Winning conference is big for us,” said Timothy coach Steve Fernandes. “We’ve had a lot of injuries this season and other guys have stepped up for us the past couple weeks.” In the win against Chicago
Christian, Jimmy Allen had three goals, while Mike Martens, Josh Anderson, Trevor Hoogendoorn and Brett Harbaugh-Clark each had a goal. Martens had four assists. Allen and Martens have been the team’s top goal-scorers this season. “Jimmy has scored a lot of goals,” said Fernandes. “He had a hat trick two games in a row. Him and Mike have a lot of goals and assists. We’ve been moving a lot of guys around, but Jimmy and Mike have been the key on offense. They connect with each other and make plays for themselves and their teammates. Everybody moves and
works off them. They are out there setting up opportunities.” The Trojans also have made strides on the defensive front. “Defense has been our biggest struggle because we lost some key people from last season,” said Fernandes. “The defense is improving.” Fernandes lauded the defensive work of Josh Anderson in particular. “Our anchor back there has been Josh,” he said. “He hadn’t played center back for us at all, but he’s stepped into it and improved a lot. He’s one of the best center backs we’ve had this year.”
Goalie Noah Marrera also has enjoyed a strong season. “Noah has been solid all year,” said Fernandes. “He’s peaking at the right time.” Fernandes added Allen, Martens and Anderson have helped the team much more than only on the statistical front. “Jimmy, Mike and Josh have led the team,” he said. “They lead in practice and they lead through their play. Most coaches come up to me after games and call out one or all of them and say those guys really stand out.” Timothy plays New Trier in a
non-conference game today before opening play next Wednesday in a Class 2A sectional against Marmion Academy. “We’re in 2A this year and that will be a whole different animal,” said Fernnades. “We have a tough seed in a tough regional. We have the No. 3 seed and we know Marmion is going to be really good. We need to improve going into that game. We’ll be ready. We’ve had some gut checks throughout the season. I think we’re in the right place at the right time. Guys are playing their best soccer right now.”

York girls golf team advances four to sectionals Timothy’s Strube qualifies for boys golf sectional By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT
The York girls golf team finished sixth at the recent Class 2A Glenbard East Regional at Glendale Lakes Golf Club in Lombard. The Dukes shot 395 as a team. However, York advanced four players out of the regional who competed this past Monday in the Class 2A Schaumburg Sectional at Schaumburg Golf Club. Senior Christine Millins shot a 91 to advance.

Conference Red Division play. Timothy Christian boys golf Timothy Christian’s Jonny Strube shot a 91 at the Class 1A Seneca Regional at Nettle Creek in Morris and advanced to sectional competition earlier this week. Brian Schiff added a 97, while Joey Davidson shot 98. Graham Loughead finished with a 100 for the Trojans, who did not advance as a team. “Jonny struggled on the front nine with a 50, but did a great job of regrouping himself and played a solid back nine in 41 to make the cut on the number,” said Timothy coach Jeff VanderNaald. “We were blessed with great weather, but despite our best efforts we didn’t advance as a team to sectionals.”
IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball team turning season around Knights enjoy recent stretch of six wins in eight matches By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT
The IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball team is heading in the right direction. The Knights recently put together a string where they won six matches during an eight-match period. “We have gotten a lot better lately,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Nancy D’Amore. “We’re finding better rhythm and chemistry and that’s helped us out. In the beginning of the season we struggled with a combination of chemistry and confidence. We made some early-season adjustments on how we approach matches and practices. They’ve bought into it. We’re working hard and we’re playing with more consistency. It’s not so much making changes on papers with the lineup. We’ve changed our approach to the game in general.” D’Amore said the team’s defense continues to be a bright spot. “Our ball control has been real good,” she said. “It’s typically a strength of ours and it has gotten even better. We’re more consistent with our passing. Giana Curran is doing a great job at libero. She’s stepped up. I feel every game we’re getting better and better. Our other passers and defenders are doing a great job as well. Josie Lytton and Kaitlyn Falduto are doing a great job in the back.’ D’Amore also has been impressed with Tess Reardon’s development as the team’s setter in a 5-1 defense. “Tess is running a 5-1 and doing much better,” she said. “She’s less hesitant now. Once we switched to the 5-1 her confidence grew so much and she’s moving the ball around a lot more and that’s opening things up for our attackers.” On the offensive end, sophomore Nailah Landon has taken steps for-
Timothy Christian girls tennis Through late last week the Timothy Christian girls tennis team was 8-5 overall in duals and 4-0 in Metro Suburban Conference Red Division play. The Trojans dropped a recent 4-1 match to Fenwick and had wins over Elmwood Park (5-0) and Willowbrook (3-2). Danielle Beard and Maddie Monat recorded a key win over Fenwick’s No. 1 doubles team. “That solidi-
fies their potential for a top seed in our sectional,” said Timothy coach Keith Mills. “Their only loss this year as partners was a pro-set loss to York’s top team.” Monat and Beard were 7-1 together, while Abygale Ahn also had a 7-1 record in singles play. “Danielle Beard is playing well right now and becoming more aggressive at the net,” said Mills. “Abygale continues to play well and her only loss was a long battle against Haley Fokouri of Fenwick. They will likely face each other again at the sectional. It’s a very competitive Class A sectional.”
IC Catholic Prep boys soccer In recent action, the IC Catholic Prep boys soccer team tied Aurora Christian 2-2 and won 4-2 against Walther Christian. The Knights lost 6-0 to Timothy Christian and 2-0 to Elmwood Park. IC Catholic Prep also lost 2-1 to St. Rita and defeated Guerin Prep 3-2 in penalty kicks. In the win against Walther Christian, Zen Tverdokhlib had three goals, while Francisco Monteon had one goal. “After a losing streak, our team has rebounded and has played better soccer,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Javier Andrade.

York girls tennis team enjoying hot streak Dukes had won nine matches in 11-match stretch By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT
The York girls tennis team is playing good tennis at the right time of the year. The Dukes recorded a 10-0 West Suburban Conference crossover victory against Downers Grove South to run its dual-meet record to 18-10 overall. York ran its winning streak to five in a row and had won nine of its last 11 dual meets. “I feel like we are really hitting our stride as a team,” said York coach Tres Heimann. “Our girls are playing with a lot of confidence right now.
Hinsdale South and Downers Grove South are No. 1 and No. 2 in their conference so we feel good about the wins against them.” Against Downers Grove South, Melissa Cartis won 6-0, 6-2 at No. 1 singles. Cate Duhig won 6-3, 2-6, 6-3 at No. 2 singles. Alex Hennessy and Maja Shaw won 6-4, 6-2 at No. 1 doubles, while Julia Riddle and Liz Mazzocco won 6-2. 6-3 at No. 2 doubles.

York celebrated senior night with a 6-5 non-conference win against Benet Academy. “This was a very nice win for our team on senior night,” said Heimann. “We have nine seniors in the program this year. We were able to win
two of the three matches that split sets and went to super-tiebreakers. I was really happy to see the competitive fire the team showed. This was a good win against a good program in Benet.” Cartis won 6-2, 6-3 at No. 1 singles. Elsey won 6-1, 6-2 at No. 4 singles. Riek and Jovic were 6-2, 3-6, (106) winners at No. 3 doubles.

York boys golf team wins regional title
Manning’s 75 helps Dukes take second crown in as many years
By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT
York senior boys golfer Tom Manning said depth makes all the difference in the world with this year’s Dukes squad. “We have consistency,” he said. “All six players are capable of going out there and shooting par or close to it. We have confidence. We know the fifth or sixth guy can step up and
fill in the gap.” The Dukes continued that consistency at the recent Class 3A Addison Trail regional held at Indian Lakes in Bloomingdale. York won the regional team title and advanced to this past Monday’s Class 3A Loyola sectional at Glencoe Golf Club. York shot 309, eight shots better than second-place Lake Park. Manning led the Dukes with a 75.
He finished second overall in the regional after participating in a threehole playoff for the top spot. Freshman Josh LaBounty shot 76 and finished fourth, while Mitchell Russell had a 78. Mark Leali and Kyle Kubycheck each shot 80, while Jake Brown had an 81. “Our kids are playing well,” said York coach Jim Borel. Manning added a fun team atmo-
IC Catholic Prep boys golf team wins regional title Leahy earns medalist honors with 75 By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT
A week after winning the Metro Suburban Conference Blue Division title, the IC Catholic Prep boys golf team upped the ante even further. The Knights won the Class 1A Seneca regional title at Nettle Creek in Morris. IC Catholic Prep shot a 316 to win the team title and moved on to this past Monday’s Class 1A Westminster Christian sectional at Randall Oaks in West Dundee. Connon Leahy was the meet’s individual medalist with a 75. John Hoffman finished second with a 79, while Trey Morris and Troy Simonides tied for fifth with 81s. Charlie Schoonveld (85) and Michael Hoffman (89) also competed. The Knights won by 29 strokes over second-place Lisle. “Our score was lower than the previous two IHSA events (a regional last year and a sectional in 2014) held at Nettle Creek,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Don Sujack. “The team
played nicely. We had a bit of a slow start, but everyone picked up their game on the back side to post some nice scores.” Leahy won his second regional medalist honor in as many years. “That’s noteworthy,” said Sujack. The coach also was pleased with the play of John Hoffman. “Hoff has the skill set to challenge at every level and his progress has made us much stronger,” said Sujack, who also lauded the rest of his regional lineup. “Troy is finally healthy enough to compete fully and Trey does whatever is necessary for his team to advance. Charlie and Michael each ended up with scores that would have advanced as individuals, so it was a complete team effort.” John Hoffman said the Knights benefit from a strong roster. “It’s definitely been our depth,” he said. “We all know that if we have a bad day someone behind us or in front of us will have a good day and really pick that guy up,” he said. “Sticking together has definitely contributed to our success.” Individually, Hoffman said putting was the name of the game for him at Nettle Creek. “My putting has gotten better lately,” he said. “Tee to green always has been pretty great,
but I’ve struggled with putting in the past. Lately that’s picked up and I’m able to shoot some pretty decent sores.” Hoffman birdied the first and 11th holes. “On 11 I had a long putt downhill,” he said. “It was a tough read, but I gave it a good roll and got it to go in. That helped, especially after a couple bogeys.” Simonides said the team has been on the same page in terms of longterm outlook all season. “We all have one common goal,” he said. “We wanted to win regionals and get to sectionals and then we want to get to state. We’ve kept our heads straight. We were a pretty young team last year and now we’re pretty mature. After last year we have a lot more experience. And there is great camaraderie. Everybody is best friends. We love our coach like an uncle and everybody loves each other and has each other’s back.” Simonides said the key to his round was the use of a hybrid club. “I wasn’t using my driver and instead used a hybrid 3 and that helped keep it in the fairway,” he said. “I was able to make it to the green in two. I had a consistent round.” It was IC Catholic Prep’s first regional title since 1994.
sphere also has contributed to York’s success this season. “It’s just the fact we gel pretty well together,” he said. “We spend a lot of time together and joke around. We can go out and enjoy ourselves no matter what happens. It’s a relatively stress-free environment. We go out and have a good time.” Manning was thrilled with his round, especially after the first hole. “I doubled the first hole and then played solid all-around,” he said. Manning made three birdies during his round. “I putted pretty well and didn’t miss any short putts and made a few decently long putts,” he said. “It was solid. I hit quite a few greens and got up and down quite a bit. Fairways and greens for me. I simplified the round and made a few putts here and
there.” York’s 309 was its third-lowest 18-hole score of the season, trailing a 302 at the Hinsdale Central invitational and a 307 at the Limestone invitational. Heading into sectionals York was averaging a 154.04 for nine holes. Leali was leading the way at 37.85, while Russell was at 39.1. Manning was at 39.38, while Brown was at 39.68. Leali was leading the team in team medalist rounds with nine. Manning was second with three, while Russell and LaBounty each had three. York won its second regional title in a row and fourth in program history. The Dukes were looking for their third state finals appearance in a row at the Loyola sectional earlier this week.
Week 8 Preview IC Catholic Prep (7-0, 3-0) at Glenbard South (5-2, 3-0) When: Friday, 7:15 p.m. Where: Glenbard South High School, Glen Ellyn Last week: IC Catholic Prep 50, Wheaton Academy 0; Glenbard South 42, St. Edward 21 Last year: IC Catholic Prep 34, Glenbard South 28, 3 OT
Outlook: The Knights continued their destruction of the regular-season schedule last week with a 50-0 blowout of Wheaton Academy. The Knights have scored 45 or more points in each of the last six weeks and have shut out opponents four times this season. This game likely will determine the Metro Suburban Conference Blue Division champion. Both teams are 3-0 in conference play. The Knights close out the regular season next Friday in Bensenville against Fenton.

Ex-inmate secures professional license under new law’s provisions ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK
Illinois’ new law allowing inmates to train for certain professional licenses before their release has produced its first success story. Landus Jackson took all of the required classes and was approved to receive his cosmetology and barber’s license, but he was still in an Illinois prison. Once released from the Vienna Correctional Center, Jackson was able to secure his license right away and with it, a better chance to stay out of prison. Jackson is the first to do so thanks to the new law. He is excited about his job prospects. “I feel that this has given me a big-
ger opportunity to do whatever it is that I want to do,” the 40-year-old said. “I am extremely proud that Illinois is taking steps to improve outcomes for men and women who have been incarcerated,” Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) acting Director John Baldwin said. “Everyone deserves a second chance, and that is exactly what Landus is getting today — a fair shot at finding employment that will increase his odds of not returning to IDOC custody.” The state requires 1,500 hours of training to get the license so before the legislation passed, Jackson would have needed to spend months training
without pay after his release before he could support himself with his skills. “So often, when offenders are released, there are a lot of hurdles in their path that prevent them from finding employment,” Corrections spokesperson Nicole Wilson said. “We anticipate all who complete their courses are going to at least apply for that license before they leave IDOC custody.” Gov. Bruce Rauner, by executive order, created a commission with the goal of reducing the prison population in Illinois by 25 percent by 2025. Removing barriers for ex-inmates to get professional licenses was one of the commission’s recommendations.
Deficit spending part of most Illinois school districts’ fiscal curriculum ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK
Nearly six out of every 10 school districts in Illinois are looking to spend more than they take in next year, a recent Illinois State Board of Education report said. But almost no one involved in education across Illinois is blaming taxpayers for the statewide shortage of school dollars. State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Ottawa, said taxpayers pay enough. It’s state government that have shortchanged schools. Rezin said former Govs. Rod
Blagojevich and Pat Quinn cut state aid nearly 15 percent during their time in office. “Proration has been the most regressive policy that’s been implemented in the last decade,” Rezin said. Galesburg School District 205 Budget Director Jennifer Hamm said the district has spent more than it has brought in for the past six years because the state trimmed $9 million from its bottom line. “This year, we have a $1.2 mil-
lion deficit in our operating fund,” Hamm said. “Last year, we had a $2.3 million deficit in our operating fund. This is the trend.” Rezin compared proration to a payday loan. The problem with a payday loan isn’t the interest. Most people who need a payday loan are living on such a small margin, it just takes them too long to scrape together the extra cash to pay it off. Rezin said many districts are now so far in debt, they may never be able to catch up.

The Elmhurst Independent / October 13, 2016 - Page 35 To the Electors of the State of Illinois: The Illinois Constitution establishes a structure for government and laws. There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may propose changes to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in the Legislative Article. The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective. The purpose of this document is to inform you of proposed changes to the Illinois Constitution and provide you with a brief explanation and a summary of the arguments in favor of and in opposition to the proposed amendment. Proposed changes in the existing constitutional amendment are indicated by underscoring all new matter and by crossing with a line all matter which is to be deleted. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ADD SECTION 11 TO ARTICLE IX OF THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE IX – REVENUE SECTION 11. TRANSPORTATION FUNDS (a) No moneys, including bond proceeds, derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes relating to registration, title, or operation or use of vehicles, or related to the use of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or to fuels used for propelling vehicles, or derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes relating to any other transportation infrastructure or transportation operation, shall be expended for purposes other than as provided in subsections (b) and (c). (b) Transportation funds may be expended for the following: the costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation, including statutory refunds and adjustments provided in those laws; payment of highway obligations; costs for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, and betterment of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or other forms of transportation; and other statutory highway purposes. Transportation funds may also be expended for the State or local share of highway funds to match federal aid highway funds, and expenses of grade separation of highways and railroad crossings, including protection of at-grade highways and railroad crossings, and, with respect to local governments, other transportation purposes as authorized by law. (c) The costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation shall be limited to direct program expenses related to the following: the enforcement of traffic, railroad, and motor carrier laws; the safety of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, or airports; and the construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair, maintenance, operation, and administration of highways, under any related provisions of law or any purpose related or incident to, including grade separation of highways and railroad crossings. The limitations to the costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation under this subsection (c) shall also include direct program expenses related to workers’ compensation claims for death or injury of employees of the State’s transportation agency; the acquisition of land and the erection of buildings for highway purposes, including the acquisition of highway rights-of-way or for investigations to determine the reasonable anticipated future highway needs; and the making of surveys, plans, specifications, and estimates for the construction and maintenance of flight strips and highways. The expenses related to the construction and maintenance of flight strips and highways under this subsection (c) are for the purpose of providing access to military and naval reservations, defenseindustries, defense-industry sites, and sources of raw materials, including the replacement of existing highways and highway connections shut off from general use at military and naval reservations, defense-industries, and defense-industry sites, or the purchase of rights-of-way. (d) None of the revenues described in subsection (a) of this Section shall, by transfer, offset, or otherwise, be diverted to any purpose other than those described in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section. (e) If the General Assembly appropriates funds for a mode of transportation not described in this Section, the General Assembly must provide for a dedicated source of funding. (f) Federal funds may be spent for any purposes authorized by federal law. EXPLANATION The proposed amendment adds a new Section to the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution that provides revenue generated from transportation related taxes and fees (referred to as “transportation funds”) shall be used exclusively for transportation related purposes. Transportation related taxes and fees include motor fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees, and other taxes and user fees dedicated to public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit (buses and rail), ports, or airports. Under the proposed amendment, transportation funds may be used by the State or local governments only for the following purposes: (1) costs related to administering transportation and vehicle laws, including public safety purposes and the payment of obligations such as bonds; (2) the State or local share necessary to secure federal funds or for local government transportation purposes as authorized by law; (3) the construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair, maintenance, and operation of highways, mass transit, and railroad crossings; (4) expenses related to workers’ compensation claims for death or injury of transportation agency employees; and (5) to purchase land for building highways or buildings for to be used for highway purposes. This new Section is a limitation on the power of the General Assembly or a unit of local government to use, divert, or transfer transportation funds for a purpose other than transportation. It does not, and is not intended to, impact or change the way in which the State and local governments use sales taxes, including the sales and excise tax on motor fuel, or alter home rule powers granted under this Constitution. It does not seek to change the way in which the State funds programs administered by the Illinois Secretary of State, Illinois Department of Transportation, and operations by the Illinois State Police directly dedicated to the safety of roads, or entities or programs funded by units of local government. Further, the Section does not impact the expenditure of federal funds, which may be spent for any purpose authorized by federal law. FORM OF BALLOT Proposed Amendment to the 1970 Illinois Constitution Explanation of Amendment The proposed amendment adds a new section to the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution. The proposed amendment provides that no moneys derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes, relating to registration, titles, operation, or use of vehicles or public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, or airports, or motor fuels, including bond proceeds, shall be expended for other than costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation, costs for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, and betterment of public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or other forms of transportation, and other statutory highway purposes, including the State or local share to match federal aid highway funds. You are asked to decide whether the proposed amendment should become part of the Illinois Constitution. YES –––– NO

Volunteers needed for ‘Make A Difference Day’ Oct. 22 The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County invites volunteers of all ages to help a local habitat by removing litter at East Branch Forest Preserve on Glen Ellyn Road in Glendale Heights during “Make a Difference Day” on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 9 a.m. to noon. Individuals and families as well as school, church, Scout and other groups are invited, but adults must accompany children under 14. Volunteers should dress for the weather and wear waterproof boots and gloves as they will be cleaning along shorelines and trails. Participants must register three business days in advance (10 days for groups of five or more) through Volunteer Services at 630933-7233 or volunteer@dupageforest.org. “East Branch is a beautiful place to visit in the fall to see the colorful prairie grasses, enjoy a picnic outdoors or drop a line in Rush Lake,” said District Volunteer Services coordinator Deborah Brooks. “We hope that volunteers feel good knowing their efforts will help keep the environment clean and healthy.” “We are extremely grateful to all our volunteers for their help keeping our preserves clean and beautiful,” said Forest Preserve District Commissioner Tim Whelan, District 4. “Our volunteers really do make a difference not only on ‘Make a Difference Day,’ but each and every day.”
