The City Council approved an electronic sign ordinance, the final step in a process about residential neighborhoods. The vote included ten votes to approve the ordinance and three “no” votes from Scott Levin (5th Ward), Marti Deuter (1st Ward) and Michael Bram (3rd Ward). Michael Honquest (6th Ward) did not attend the meeting. But it contains a conditional use provision, which says that each applicant must go through a public hearing and make a case for why the electronic sign should be allowed and why it will not have a negative impact on a residential area. At an October 5th meeting, neighbors who oppose electronic signs said they will continue their opposition at each public hearing because they want to maintain the residential character of neighborhoods. William Kling, who lives in the 100 block of S. Kenilworth, called the City process “procedural chicanery,” and that it was “unconscionable.” Any electronic sign will have a negative impact on residential neighborhoods, he said about his strong

All-day kindergarten favored at Focus 205 citizen session School District’s latest community engagement session draws 80+ By Dan McLeister For The Elmhurst Independent
Research shows that children in all-day kindergarten make greater gains in their reading and math achievement from fall to spring, according to Dr. Michelle Fitzgerald, assistant superintendent for learning and teaching for Elmhurst District 205. At the second of four Community Engagement Sessions, known as Focus 205, on Thursday, October 8, she said many districts have implemented allday kindergarten to help with early literacy. After Fitzgerald’s presentation in the York High School Commons, most citizens met in small groups at individual tables. They agreed that all-day kindergarten was the most important on a list of approaches that should receive the greatest priority by District 205 going forward into the future. Fitzgerald stated that research shows that children who attended all-day kindergarten score higher on standardized tests and as a result, need fewer interventions. Also, students in all-day kindergarten had more child-tochild interactions to progress in
learning social skills faster, the assistant superintendent commented. However, Fitzgerald noted that some administrators in other area districts stated that students are more prepared for first grade, while other administrators indicated that some students struggle with the full-day schedule. On another topic in her presentation on “Tomorrow’s Classroom Today,” Fitzgerald said the future-ready classroom effort comes at a critical time as districts embrace college and career readiness as the goal for all students and recognize the potential of digital tools to help teachers personalize learning for each youth. She said District 205 leaders must respond to these changes with thoughtful planning to align necessary technologies with instruction goals to support teaching and learning. “With all of this talk about classrooms for future-ready students, it is important to remember that technology needs to be accelerator, not a driver,” she said. “We do not make decisions based on technology; technology helps the decisions that are made.” Mentioning another topic, Fitzgerald stated that, “it is widely accepted among researchers that the difference in students’ vocabulary levels is a key factor in disparities in academic
achievement, but that vocabulary instruction has been neither frequent nor systematic in most schools.” Community Engagement Cochair John Morrissey reminded the 80-some people in the audience that all Focus 205 informa-
tion, materials and documents would be posted at focus205. org. People can also sign up to receive the Focus 205 newsletter, RSVP for future meetings, and reserve childcare. Future sessions include on Thursday November 13th the
financial challenges and opportunities District 205 faces. The last session on Wednesday December 2nd will focus on school facilities in the 21st century, raising the question, how well does the current structure meet the needs of students?

Obituary Dennis Aldred passes away
Dennis Alan Aldred died peacefully at home in the presence of family. Dennis attended Bradley University, graduating in 1962, with a degree in Chemistry. College also was the place he met his future wife, Betsy, whom he married in 1963. That fall, Dennis began working on his MBA at Illinois Institute of Technology and graduated in 1966. Dennis and Betsy celebrated that accomplishment by purchasing a VW Bug in Stuttgart, Germany and touring Europe for the summer. That fall, he began working as a consultant for CorPlan, a division of IIT. Because of his familiarity with Europe, Dennis got many assignments of European hospitals and chemical companies. After several years, he branched off to begin his own company, Medical Technomics. Besides doing studies and consulting, Dennis saw a growing need for disposable laboratory equipment and eventually opened a manufacturing plant outside Warsaw, Poland. In addition, he started another company, CompuCart, for importing computer desks for school and home. During off times, he enjoyed being engaged in his daughters’ activities, and later, his four grandchildren’s lives. He also enjoyed archery, motorcycle riding, camping out west, hanging out with the York High School Class of 1954, and later, summers at the Lake House on White Lake in Michigan. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Florence “Betsy” Bliss Aldred; daughters, Jennifer (Pam Masek) Aldred, PhD., and Sarah (Chris) Aldred Fleege; and grandchildren, Lucas Fleege, Justin Fleege, Elliot Fleege and Olivia Elizabeth Berry. Memorial Visitation at Thursday, October 15, 2015, from 4-8 p.m. at Ahlgrim Funeral Home, 567 S. Spring Rd., Elmhurst.

U.S. Census Enumerators will be contacting residents at their homes for a short interview. The Special Census will be conducted over a four- to five-week period.

Elmhurst. Upon arriving on the scene and finding the vehicle 90 feet from the shoreline and almost completely under water, Officers Pacewic, Hopkins, and Sluzewicz, entered the water, swimming over 90 feet to rescue the unconscious driver. The officers were able to free the victim from the passenger compartment, pull him to the surface, and ultimately to the shoreline. On April 29, 2015, the Westmont Fire Department responded to a fire alarm in the King Arthur Court apartment complex. Upon arrival, there was heavy brown smoke and the report of a person still in the apartment. Lt. Turen, without regard for his own safety, entered the apartment. After searching for a few seconds, he was forced back by the intense heat and retreated from the apartment until a charged hose line was in place. Once the charged hose line was in place, his crew then proceeded into the apartment and extinguished the fire. While the crew was extinguishing the fire, Lt. Turen located the victim approximately 12 feet inside the apartment and removed him from further danger. The 100 Club President Lisa Savegnago will present the Award of Valor to Officer Pacewic, Officer Hopkins, Officer Sluzewicz, and Lt. Turen during the annual dinner. “It is with great honor to bestow the 2015 Award of Valor to Officers Pacewic, Hopkins, Sluzewicz, and Lt. Turen,” said Savegnago. “They all put their lives on the line, without hesitation and with courage, to save the life of another. Their leadership and devotion to their duty and their community is unparalleled. They are true heroes.”

“The two lanes along St. Charles Rd. are different than a four-lane stretch in the area of Visitation Church, which has an electronic sign,” he said. “The Timothy Christian School sign on Butterfield is a mixed bag.” Discussions about electronic signs began about three years ago when Redeemer Lutheran Church applied for one, but later withdrew the application. The City decided that there should be more specifics about electronic signs. Kevin Van Slyke, who lives in the 300 block of S. Kenilworth, said he was challenging the
process and that the City was pulling “a proverbial fast one.” “It seems that this issue has not gotten a fair hearing,” he said. Doug Manning, who lives in the 300 block of S. Kenilworth, commented that the electronic sign issue does not involve one or two sites, but 13 potential sites in various residential areas around Elmhurst. “That is a lot of signs,” he said. Manning further mentioned the brightness of electronic signs and the potential for “light pollution.”

opposition, adding that “the process should be honest and fair.” Jim Hauser, who lives in the 100 block of E. St. Charles, said an electronic sign on the property of Redeemer Lutheran Church would be like living across the street from a Dairy Queen. He stated that there have been a lot of accidents in the area involving cars, bikers and pedestrians. An electronic sign could distract drivers and possibly cause more accidents, he said. Also Hauser noted that electronic signs are “not cookiecutter.”
Letter to the Editor
Ribbons on trees becoming nuisance, reader says when they are not removed in a timely fashion (perhaps 2-3 weeks). Currently there are green ribbons along Spring Road and nearby streets that have been there for months. Now we also have pink ribbons along York Street and other areas. These ribbons are becoming faded and torn. I don’t think
that this is the image that we wish to project about our city. I respectfully ask that those who so lovingly put up the ribbons take responsibility for removing them. Perhaps a city ordinance stating a length of time that ribbons may be displayed might be considered. Carol Jamieson

Local charity supports brain injury survivors Harvest Moon gala fundraiser scheduled for Oct. 22
By Jean Lawrence For The Elmhurst Independent
Named for the nervous system’s communication between neurons, Elmhurst-based Synapse House opened its doors in April to support people who have acquired brain injuries. “I’m a speech therapist by trade and I worked at Lutheran General Hospital with traumatic brain injury patients,” Founder and Executive Director Deborah Giesler explained. “We would take great care of them but they’d come back in with so many needs that far exceeded what we could provide. The whole Chicago area has amazing medical services and rehab programs but I saw a real need to provide long-term services for people after they are discharged.” Synapse House follows a “clubhouse” model of longterm, community-based care. “Our model is based on the idea that you get better through work and activity so we are very focused on real world work,” Deborah said. “It’s a great model that you don’t see in traditional medical rehab. So, for example, our members write thank you notes to donors and send out letters requesting auction donations, which helps their language skills as well as handwriting and computer
skills. “We are renovating our space to do more life skills training with having members cook for each other. Our members really develop a sense of purpose because they know they are needed.” Members of Synapse House have experienced brain injuries from many different sources, such as strokes, brain tumors, drug overdoses, epilepsy, cardiac arrest during surgery, falls, violence and motor vehicle accidents. “Many of our members are young and might need services for another 50 years,” Deborah said. “Our program can serve people from about age 18 to 80 but we have a lot in their 40’s. And people that age don’t want to be in a senior center. The work-based model lets them continue to progress with their recovery goals.” In addition to benefiting its members, Synapse House provides respite and support to members’ families. The families don’t participate in the clubhouse but do take advantage of educational and wellness seminars featuring everything from stress management to yoga sessions to updates on medical research that might affect their family member. “Some of our members were injured many years ago and their families have lost touch with the medical community and are interested in learning about the latest research,” Deborah noted.
Synapse House is located at 561 North York and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. Their decision to locate in Elmhurst followed a lengthy study of the best location for PACE buses that transport the handicapped as well as highway access. “DuPage County has great resources for non-profits and
Elmhurst is such a perfect location for maximizing the number of people we can serve,” Deborah said. “We are making Elmhurst our home and getting to know the businesses and residents.” Elmhurst residents who are interested in supporting Synapse House can attend the organization’s second Harvest

Spirito! to honor Mark Dyer with annual service award ELMHURST — Spirito! Singers has announced that it will be honoring Elmhurst resident Mark Dyer with its 2015-2016 Service Award for his volunteer work helping disaster victims around the world with ShelterBox. The event is scheduled for Saturday, October 24 from 6 p.m. to midnight at Drury Lane in Oakbrook Terrace. Tickets are $100 each and include dinner, open bar, auctions and performances by all three Spirito! Ensembles. Adults only; cocktail attire. Complimentary valet parking available. For tickets, call 630581-5440 or visit spiritosingers. org. ShelterBox is a world-wide humanitarian organization. When a natural or manmade disaster strikes, ShelterBox deploys twoto-four-person response teams within 48-72 hours to bring emergency shelter, aid, and hope to those who need it most. Specifically, ShelterBox delivers selfcontained boxes with family-size tents, stoves, water purification equipment, and other emergency materials directly to families who have lost their homes as a result of major disasters such as hur-
834-8244
ricanes, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, typhoons, and war. Since 2008, Mark has served as a ShelterBox field responder, personally delivering those lifesaving boxes to Haiti, Columbia, Somaliland, and other places around the world. The role is mentally and physically challenging. When deployed, Mark must respond to disasters on short notice and work in extreme conditions for two to five weeks at a time and often in some of the most dangerous and destitute locations around the globe. The selection process to serve as a field responder is rigorous. Mark is one of only about 185 qualified field responders worldwide. Mark learned about ShelterBox through the Rotary Club of Elmhurst, where he was a member. Mark said that two of his most memorable and rewarding experiences were (1) working with a young Nigerian man, who— after severe flooding wiped out his town and killed its mayor— jumped into the leadership role for his town and helped Mark make sure supplies were first distributed to the disabled, widows, and orphans most in need; and,
(2) seeing two Japanese women reunited after each thought the other had died in a tsunami. “Disasters are terrible, but it is heartwarming to see people at their best amid the worst,” Dyer said. “Mark is a ‘Marine’ of humanitarian volunteers,” said Michael Nelson, Spirito! board member and chair of the Spirito! Service Committee. “It is awe-inspiring how Mark risks his health and personal safety and sacrifices his time to bring lifesaving disaster

To Your Health Through
CHIROPRACTIC by Dr. Noelle O’Connor
TAKING A SWING AT IT While professional golfers generally experience more hand and wrist injuries, average golfers’ flawed mechanics make their backs more susceptible to injury. The golf swing stresses the back in three ways: There is downward head-to-foot compression; lateral side-to-side bending; and a sliding, front-to-back shearing motion. According to a comparison of professional and amateur golfers’ swings, the amateurs’ swings put 80% more lateral and shear load on their spines than the professionals’ more polished swings. Regardless of whether you are a professional or amateur golfer, the peak compressive load that your swing exerts on your lumbar spine is equivalent to eight times your body weight. All golfers have good reason to perfect their swings and have a chiropractor check their body mechanics.
Are you a golfer? Or do you have a golfer in your life? At YORK CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC, we are located at 486 Spring Road, where we can help your body heal without the use of traditional medication. Call us at 630.834.8536 to schedule an appointment. Could acupuncture help you? Be sure to mark your calendar for October 24th to educate yourself about Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine awareness day. AOM Day explains the benefits for the use of acupuncture and other forms of Chinese and Oriental medicine.
P.S. Because younger golfers (between the ages of 30 and 40) tend to swing the hardest, they stand to benefit the most from an easy, fluid golf swing that spares them from back pain.

relief and hope to those most in need. “Mark is a credit to our community and Spirito! is honored and pleased to present Mark with its 2015-2016 Service Award.” “It is an honor to receive this Spirito! Service Award,” Dyer said. “I appreciate Spirito! recognizing all the good that ShelterBox is able to accomplish for disaster victims around the world. I hope this award will generate greater awareness for ShelterBox’s vital mission.”
Spirito! welcomes the community to come honor Mark at the Autumn Voices Gala. Donations raised through Autumn Voices are crucial to the ongoing success and service of Spirito!. Auction activities will be directed by the professionals from Zaffarano Auctioneers. The event will offer live, mini-live and silent auctions; and raffles – giving you the opportunity to secure a holiday gift or summer experience for yourself, your honey or your kids.

ICGS DI team reports on the fruits of a yearlong service project ELMHURST — On Wednesday, Sept. 23, a group of seventh-grade students at Immaculate Conception Grade School in Elmhurst met with IC Pastor, Rev Tom Paul to report on the fruits of the Destination Imagination service learning project, they undertook a year ago. Destination Imagination is a fun, hands-on system of learning that fosters students’ creativity, courage and curiosity through open-ended academic Challenges in the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), fine arts, and service learning. Last year, these ICGS students, known as “DInamite,” initiated a fundraising effort by making friendship bracelets that were sold after IC weekend Masses. The funds from this effort were used to purchase a set of book discussion books for a group of fellow students at St. Mary’s Mission School in Red Lake, Minn. During the past several years, IC Parish has raised funds for this school which is located on an impoverished closed Native American reservation of the Ojibwe Tribe. After purchasing this set of books, the students on the ICGS “DI” team and a group of students from St. Mary’s participated in a cyber book group during the course of the school year. Upon completion of the school year, the ICGS students created five murals, depicting five key themes that the two school com-

munities share in common. Those themes were loyalty, pride, mind (importance of intellectual development), body (importance of responsible nutrition and fitness), and spirit (importance of harmony through non-violence). The murals were delivered to St. Mary’s Mission School by a group of IC Catholic Prep students who traveled there last summer as part of an IC Parish mission trip. At the Sept. 23 meeting, the
“DInamite” team reported who donated to this project. that it has $600 in remainFather Tom invited this ing funds to donate to St. group to meet with Rev. Jerry Mary’s. The students showed Father Tom photos of the murals they created and he asked them questions about all that they have learned throughout the past year relative to this service learning project. The students overwhelmingly agreed that they were surprised and inspired by the generosity of parishioners

More than 75 golfers played in a shotgun format after a blessing by Immaculate Conception Parish Parochial Vicar, Rev. David Mowry. IC Pastor, Rev. Tom Paul and ICGS Principal, Cathy Linley were also present to thank the golfers for their support of the school. The golf tournament was followed by a dinner with a silent auction and raffle.

What you think you know about Social Security may be totally wrong much they’ll be eligible to receive, and when they can start drawing benefits without penalty. The survey, by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual), included a true/false quiz about Social Security facts. Just 28 percent of those surveyed scored a passing grade, and only one person out of the 1,500 polled was able to answer all survey questions correctly. The survey results illustrated a 186149
(BPT) — Americans may have faith in the Social Security system, but many still don’t really understand how it works. That’s a key take-away from a recent survey of Americans’ knowledge of Social Security retirement benefits. While 63 percent of respondents said they do believe Social Security benefits will be available to them when they retire, many were confused about who qualifies for benefits, how
significant lack of knowledge about Social Security, including: • Although 75 percent of those surveyed thought being an American citizen is a requirement to receive Social Security retirement benefits, this is not the case. Noncitizens lawfully living in the U.S., and who have permission to work here, can obtain a Social Security number, pay into the Social Security system and draw benefits. • More than seven in 10 respondents mistakenly thought that 65 is the age when everyone can begin drawing full retirement benefits. Actually, your full retirement age depends on what year you were born. • Fifty-five percent of those surveyed incorrectly believed they could continue working during retirement while collecting full Social Security benefits, regardless of their age. If you work during retirement, but have not yet reached your full retirement age, your Social Security benefits may be reduced if you earn too much. Once you reach full retirement age, those withheld benefits will be repaid over your lifetime. “Perhaps the greatest Social Security deficit in this country is the
lack of education around the retirement benefits of the program,” says Michael R. Fanning, executive vice president, U.S. Insurance Group, MassMutual. “With millions of Americans nearing retirement each year, many may be at risk of underutilizing a critical component of their retirement income stream.” Still, some good news emerged from the survey. Americans seem aware that Social Security should be only one component of their overall retirement savings plan. Just 39 percent said they expected to rely more on Social Security than their personal savings or income during retirement, and just 15 percent expected to rely solely on Social Security. You can test your Social Security knowledge by taking the MassMutual quiz. Here are some Social Security facts to help improve your knowledge: • No single filing strategy works for everyone filing for Social Security benefits; there are just too many variables. For example, a married couple may have hundreds of options for filing for Social Security retirement benefits.

• Americans are living longer. It’s no longer sufficient to plan for just 10 years of retirement. You may well need savings and income to carry you for three decades or longer. • While Social Security can be an important component of your retirement plan, you need to have other income as well. Under- or overvaluing your Social Security retirement benefits could keep you from getting a true picture of your retirement savings plans. A qualified financial professional can better help you understand how Social Security fits into your personal situation.

Edward-Elmhurst launches new website, EEHealth.org
NAPERVILLE AND ELMHURST – As part of the next phase of its “Healthy Driven” initiative, Edward-Elmhurst Health has introduced a new website – EEHealth.org – to provide patients and visitors with information about the system’s services, programs, classes and locations.Race car driver Danica Patrick, who will serve through early 2016 as the system’s “Healthy Driven” spokesperson, is prominently featured on several pages of EEHealth.org. Other highlights of the new website include Healthy Driven blogs, an easy-to-use “Find a Doctor” search function, ER Wait Times and Edward-Elmhurst’s HealthAware screenings, which are free, five-minute tests to determine a person’s risk for diseases or disorders.Tens of thousands have taken the HealthAware screenings since they began in 2009, with thousands seeking and receiving additional testing and treatment after they were found at-risk. The Edward-Elmhurst HealthAware Center includes assessments for addiction, anxiety, breast cancer, depression, diabetes, heart disease, lung cancer, sleep disorders and stroke.“What makes EEHealth.org unique is the opportunity it provides in so many ways for people to get engaged in and take charge of their own health,” says Pam Davis, System CEO, Edward-Elmhurst Health. “Edward-Elmhurst Health is a leader in prevention and wellness, and we’re determined to motivate as many people as possible to join

The new campaign will include TV and radio commercials, newspaper and magazine ads, billboards, online advertising, direct marketing and social media.“In many cases when it comes to our health, we don’t get the equivalent of a “check engine” warning that we get in our vehicles,” says Patrick, who will be a guest blogger on EEHealth.org. “But, with tools like the HealthAware screenings, Edward-Elmhurst Health has ways to identify and address health risks before they become serious.”Edward-Elmhurst Health, which began its “Healthy Driven” program in late 2014, includes Edward Hospital, Elmhurst Hospital and Linden Oaks Behavioral Health. The system, created in 2013 following the merger of Edward Hospital and Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare, has more than 50 outpatient locations across a service area of 1.7 million residents in the west and southwest suburbs of Chicago, 7,400 employees and 1,900 physicians on staff.
they go in for a physical exam or have a medical event. In fact, a third of Americans who have AFib are still undiagnosed, noted a 2015 report from the American Heart Association. Early diagnosis and treatment is key Early detection of AFib is critical to reduce unnecessary medical visits and prevent serious complications. However, AFib can occur intermittently or without symptoms, making it difficult to detect and diagnose. If a physician suspects AFib, they will typically conduct a physical examination and heartmonitoring tests. Traditional heart monitoring methods include an electrocardiogram (ECG) to measure the timing and duration of each electrical signal of the heart. New advancements in technology such as wireless, long-term, continuous cardiac monitors have significantly improved how AFib is diagnosed and managed. For example, iRhythm’s ZIO Service with a biosensor patch has the ability to monitor and store

surgery. People who are overweight, have high blood pressure, lung or thyroid issues or are under a lot of stress may also have an increased risk for AFib. Additionally, the risk for AFib increases with age, especially after 60. There is also a genetic component to AFib, so if someone in the family has it, the more likely the next generation will have it too. Without treatment, AFib can lead to serious health consequences, including: * Heart failure * Stroke * Fatigue * Shortness of breath What are the symptoms of AFib? Each year, millions of patients see physicians because they feel heart palpitations or report their heart is racing, quivering or fluttering, which are the most common symptoms of AFib. Other signs may include general fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, anxiety or weakness. However, some people with “silent” AFib have no symptoms at all and their condition is only detected when

(BPT) — An estimated 2.7 million Americans suffer from atrial fibrillation (AFib), an irregular heartbeat and the most common form of cardiac arrhythmia, according to the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Surprisingly, many people do not feel any symptoms until they are suffering from complications of AFib such as heart failure or stroke. September is Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month. Take the time to understand your risk for AFib, and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. One out of every four strokes in the United States is a result of AFib, according to the American Heart Association. Patients who experience a stroke caused by AFib are twice as likely to be severely disabled, a 1996 Framingham Study found. Stroke prevention and heart failure prevention are primary treatment goals in AFib. Who is at risk for AFib? There are a number of risk factors associated with AFib, including existing heart conditions, prior heart attack or recent heart

Elmhurst teachers publish ‘Literacy & History in Action’ ‘It’s a common core bonanza!’ says Edison Librarian By Jean Lawrence For The Elmhurst Indpendent
M
any adults remember school as a not-sointeresting process of memorizing information and filling out worksheets. Elmhurst fifth graders are fortunate to be exposed to a completely different approach to reading and writing in social studies, and four of the educators who spearhead this approach recently published a book detailing their methods.
}There’s a lot of value of putting kids in collaborative work groups and teaching them to inform their thinking by listening to other people’s opinions.”
—Becky D’Angelo
The book “Literacy and History in Action: Immersive Approaches to Disciplinary Thinking, Grades 5-12” has its roots in a District 205 professional development class that was offered about 12 years ago. Dr. Thomas McCann, who then served as the assistant superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, taught a writing class to educators throughout the district. The author of about 14 books and now a professor at Northern Illinois University, Dr. McCann developed a collaborative relationship with some Edison Elementary School staff members after the writing class and that led to classroom writing and reading projects based on immersion and simulation. At the time of the writing class, Nancy Galas was teaching fifth grade at Edison and Mary Greska was the school librarian. A couple years later, Becky D’Angelo joined the fifth grade faculty and Mrs. Galas subsequently retired. The three Edison staff members teamed up with Dr. McCann to write the book, which offers an explanation of how the authors have applied an immersive approach to integrating writing, reading, speaking and listening with their fifth grade social studies curriculum. “Becky and Nancy saw

Edison Elementary School educators (l to r) Becky D’Angelo, Nancy Galas and Mary Greska recently teamed up with Dr. Thomas McCann (not pictured), retired Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, to write a book. “Literacy and History in Action” describes the educators’ approach to incorporating writing, reading, speaking and listening skills into the fifth grade social studies curriculum through historical simulations.
opportunities to build content areas into writing,” Greska explained. “So if they are working on argument writing, they will use a topic in history and start with a problem. It’s very inquiry-based.” Mrs. D’Angelo gave examples from the classroom. “We do three simulations in social studies,” she said. “We start with the idea of reparations for Native Americans. We pose a question: Should Native Americans get reparations? Then we divide the kids into groups by tribe and tell them we are looking for expert testimony. “They do research on the topic and write their arguments but they take it the additional step of having each tribe listen to the other tribes and go before a panel for a mock legislative hearing. Then we do a simulation about a Colonial American town we call Elmtown. “We divide the kids into family groups – silversmiths, farmers, lawyers – and then they learn about
events like the Sugar Act that led up to the Revolutionary War. They write in their journals about each topic and how it affects their family and role play in town hall meetings. They learn a lot about the time period and also about speaking and listening because they have to summarize the opinion of the person before them before they can give their own opinion. “There’s a lot of value of putting kids in collaborative work groups and teaching them to inform their thinking by listening to other people’s opinions.” “The student engagement is insanely high,” added Greska. “They really get into the role-playing and do things like make maps or models of Elmtown for fun. And in the process they have a really purposeful interaction and work on key skills like reading, writing, speaking and listening. “It’s a common core bonanza! And when kids ask questions, they
construct the knowledge themselves in a way that endures.” The authors have given presentations to other educators within and beyond District 205. “In the process of explaining how we have implemented this approach at Edison, we have learned a lot from other teachers about their ideas to apply this to subjects like science that are inquiry-based,” D’Angelo noted. “It’s an effective way to meet learning objectives in many subjects and gives students a framework to inform themselves.” Over a period of about 18 months, the four educators collaborated to write the book with a unified voice. “Literacy and History in Action” guides middle school and high school teachers incorporating inquiry-based instruction and includes details on simulation activities like those described by D’Angelo. The book will be available on amazon.com starting October 16.

Independent unveils history in the making This week: Addison St. parking deck, former Steven’s Steakhouse
A message from the editor... As a community newspaper, The Independent believes part of our job is to document history as it unfolds. Who knows, someday some curious person may want to explore a local publication from a given time period – and that could be NOW! With that mission in mind, this week, we begin a series of photo features based on the developments
under construction around Elmhurst. This week, you’ll find the final stages of the Addison parking deck and an early glimpse of the Stevens Steakhouse site, where a Thorntons service and convenience center will be built. In upcoming editions, The Independent will publish photo updates on Hahn Street, the Park District’s “Playground for Everyone,” the Berteau Development on the site of the former hospital and the new construction of a fitness center that has begun where the Holiday Inn and Waverton Waterpark once stood. Dee Longfellow Editorial Coordinator
THORNTONS TO BUILD ON SITE OF FORMER STEAKHOUSE
This rather bleak-looking piece of property has been vacant for about five years after Steven’s Steakhouse closed. It is a prime location at York and Lake Sts. at I-290. Despite concerns about light pollution and visual clutter, one alderman said the community needed a sign big enough to draw travelers from I-290. See story on page 22. photo by Dee Longfellow

Community awaits new Thorntons at steakhouse site By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent
ELMHURST — At the City’s Retail Real Estate Forum on Wednesday, June 24, Tony Rubino, real estate manager for Thorntons, Inc., owners of fuel stations and convenience centers across the country, announced that plans were in the works to bring a large Thorntons convenience complex to the property formerly occupied by Steven’s Steakhouse at York and Lake Sts.. “It will be a big bright open area convenience center for not only gasoline fuel but also for all the other reasons people stop
A
at convenience stores,” Rubino said. “There will be one or two restaurants inside along with other amenities.” He added that the company planned to open sometime in 2016. On August 13, the Zoning and Planning Commission approved the project as did the Planning & Zoning Committee, and shortly after, the full City Council. The only negatives mentioned at public hearings concerned possible visual clutter and “light pollution.” Seventh Ward Alderman Mark Mulliner said a sign was needed that could be seen from I-290 to encourage drivers to come to Elmhurst.

lmost completed, the Addison parking deck began with some contention, but also on the heels of a new deck next to the YMCA, which was very well-received by the public. It seemed merchants and residents alike recognized it as a way to reduce parking headaches around the train station as well as providing more spaces for shoppers who might spend money in the community and contribute to local taxes. In February of 2014, the Independent reported on the public hearing held before the Planning & Zoning Commission, which brought neighbors and residents out – some for, some against. One resident claimed a six-story structure would “look like the Rocky Mountains,” another said it would “stick out like a sore thumb.” On the plus side, others recognized it would increase foot traffic in the downtown area, would provide more shopper parking and would support local businesses like York Theatre and Fitz’s Spare Keys. One business owner noted that as
many as nine businesses in the area had closed over the past year (meaning 2013). Design elements discussed In June and July of 2014, the City held two open house events to discuss the design of the garage. Louis Vandeloecht of GMA Architects in St. Louis offered a presentation of a thenevolving design plan for the parking deck, to show how different building elements could be altered to make the six-story structure more appealing. The structure would have 16,000 square-feet of first floor retail space facing Addison Ave., which wrapped around to face Schiller Court. Vandeloecht said there would be actual brick similar to the Larch St. parking garage, which his firm also designed. Above the retail space will be 690 parking spaces.

Sponsored by Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), the bill would close a loophole that allows retailers to sell guns without a background check after 72 hours. Background check legislation came before the Senate in
that time, an amendment sponsored by Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) would have provided a stricter background check process to prevent criminals and those deemed mentally ill from purchasing a gun. The amendment failed to garner the 60 votes required to override a filibuster and was stopped by a vote of 54-46. • Senators who voted against the 2013 Manchin-Toomey Amendment received on average 11 times more money ($25,631) from pro-gun interest groups than senators voting for it ($2,340) between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2014. In contrast, campaign contributions from anti-gun groups to Senators in the same period were negligible. • Six senators received more than $50,000 from pro-gun interest groups between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2014. Of those, only one (Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), also a co-sponsor of the amendment) supported the stricter background check process.

PARKING DECK SEEN AS BOON TO ADDISON ST., DOWNTOWN Addison Street just south of the new parking deck (pictured here) is poised for growth and more development. In July of 2015, a story was published about CB Residential, which had recently moved from its previous location on north York St. to 121 No. Addison. Agent and Branch Manager Jim Barcelona praised the location and the new parking deck. “Instead of ‘if you build it, they will come,’ this is a case of ‘when they come, where will we put them?’” he said, quoting a line from the movie Field of Dreams. “I think the City was right to take that first step, the parking deck, and that’s the catalyst that will drive the entire downtown area.”

Rauner to Democrats: join us or pass your own tax increase ELMHURST — Now is a key turning point in the state of Illinois and there needs to be urgency in passing the Governor’s Turnaround Agenda or Democrats should pass a tax increase with a supermajority to balance the budget. That’s according to Illinois’ Republican Governor. Governor Bruce Rauner addressed a crowd on Wednesday, October 7 in Oak Lawn, where he talked about the ongoing budget impasse, efficiencies agencies he controls are finding to save taxpayers’ money and the need to address collective bargaining issues. The governor said lawmakers must consider his proposed reforms or take up another option — higher taxes. “But if you block reforms then use your supermajority to pass your own tax increase to pay for the spending level that you want,” he said. “But please choose now. Choose now. Time’s up.” Rauner said the state can’t ask taxpayers for more taxes
without reforms. Illinois is now into Month No. 4 of the new fiscal year without a budget. In a press release following the Governor’s speech, Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan said the ongoing budget impasse is due to the Governor’s decision to veto the spending bill approved by lawmakers, a budget Republicans said was upwards of $4 billion out of balance. The governor said the General Assembly is constitutionally obligated to pass a balanced budget. Rauner wants to modify collective bargaining issues Illinois’ Governor wants to remove health insurance and other issues from collective bargaining in an effort he says will save taxpayers billions. During a speech in Oak Lawn Wednesday Governor Bruce Rauner said he wants to modify what can be collectively bargained like health care benefits. Rauner said removing items from collective bargaining is not a radical or partisan idea and will help steer money to economic growth and to those in most need of vital
state services. “It’s about making sure that tax dollars go to education, economic growth, tourism marketing, and services for the most vulnerable. Not to expensive government bureaucracy.” Rauner said Illinois is an outlier on these issues and that 33 states limit all or a portion of collective bargaining in state and local governments. Speaker Michael Madigan said in a press release after Rauner’s speech that his caucus will not quote “devastate Illinois’ middle class and struggling families by furthering an agenda aimed at driving down their wages and their standard of living.” Governor open to Chicago casino as concession A Chicago casino could assist Illinois out of a budget crisis but the governor says the legislature would still have to approve some of his Turnaround Agenda items. Governor Bruce Rauner said in a speech to the Chicago Southland Convention and Visitor’s Bureau in Oak Lawn on Wednesday, Octo-

ber 7, he would be open to the idea of a Chicago casino, among other concessions like financial assistance to Chicago Public Schools. A supporter of expanding gambling, Democratic Representative Bob Rita said the Governor’s Turnaround Agenda, the budget and expanded gambling are all different items. “The budget is one issue and the non-budgetary items is a different issue, no different than we look at gaming a different issue, Rita said. “Even though it would provide revenue to the state they’re all three separate–it’s not all intertwined.” Regardless of willingness to support expanding a casino in Chicago, Rauner said he still wants lawmakers to approve items from his Turnaround Agenda, including allowing local governments the ability to opt out of certain collective bargaining issues as a way to save money. Rauner removes two Prisoner Review Board members The direction of the Illi-

nois Prisoner Review Board could change after allegedly false bankruptcy and other filings lead to the dismissal of one member while another resigned. Legal counsel for the Prisoner Review Board Ken Tupy refused to comment on what led to the dismissal of Eric Gregg and looming resignation of Adam Monreal but said the Governor’s ultimate nominations could drive the board, and various three-member panels, in a different direction, especially when it comes to prisoner release. “It could change some of the conditions,” Tupy said. “Different people have different ideas about what is or what needs to be on people when they’re being released and other people don’t.” Tupy said the 15-member board can’t have more than eight members from one particular party. Of the 13 members still on the board, Tupy said there are, six Republicans, six Democrats and one independent. Board members nominated by the Governor must be approved by the Senate.

Timothy Christian senior Ben Lodewyk throws in during the Trojans’ regular season ending game against Wheaton Academy on Thursday, Oct. 8 at home. TC will began the IHSA Class 1A playoffs this week.
The IC Catholic Prep football team is headed back to the playoffs. The Knights improved to 6-1 overall with a recent 40-10 win on the road against Wheaton Academy. IC also remained tied atop the Metro Suburban Conference West Division with a 3-0 record. IC earned the automatic playoff bid with its sixth win of the season. The Knights rolled past Wheaton Academy on the strength of 458 rushing yards. Jordan Rowell led the way with 19 carries for 298 yards and four touchdowns. He had a long run of 90 yards. Lazerick Eatman ran 14 times for 103 yards and one touchdown. He had a long run of 60 yards. Quarterback Luke Ricobene completed five passes for 105 yards and a touchdown. Garrett Cheng caught three passes for 57 yards and a touchdown. Pat Jordan had one catch for 45 yards. On defense, Jose Rodriguez had a team-high 12 tackles. Jim Kenneally had 10 tackles, one tackle for loss and three quarterback sacks. Kemon Reese recorded 10 tackles and one quarterback sack. Jack Lamborn had one quarterback sack. Luke Calles and Rowell each had an interception, while Cheng recovered a fumble. IC Catholic Prep returns home Friday night when it hosts Glenbard South in a game where first place in the MSC West will be on the line. Glenbard South is 5-2 overall and 3-0 in conference play. Glenbard South is the defending conference champion. York football The York football team improved to 3-4 overall with

A family affair Freshman Sarah May is a contributor to the York girls crosscountry team
Sophomore shoots 2-overpar 73 to help send Knights to sectional By Mike Miazga Correspondent
By Mike Miazga Correspondent
Running is a part of Sarah May’s family. The York freshman girls crosscountry runner is the younger sister of former Dukes boys runner Chris May and current York boys senior runner Jon May. “I started running at the start of middle school,” she said. “I had always played soccer since I was little. I like how cross country brings people together. It’s a different experience. You get to meet a bunch of new people and get to know them through running. It’s a lot of fun.” May enjoys the training her and her York teammates put in during the week. “I like it because it’s challenging,” she said. “At the end of a really hard workout you can look back and say, ‘I just did that.’ Coach (Annette) Schulte’s workouts are very good and she gives us good advice. All our coaches are very encouraging.” May admitted she does think about being a freshman on the varsity team, but only briefly. “Yes, there is some pressure but you don’t think about it. You just go out and run,” she said. Along those same lines, May noted York’s upperclassmen have been extremely helpful. “The older girls on the team are really nice and supportive,” she said. “It’s very nice when they are cheering you on. They all are really nice and help you out. At first this season I was really confused with how you put the chip (electronic scoring chip) in your shoe and they taught me. I really like our team. Everyone is nice and supportive. They all are great people. We push each other to do our best.” May has been a varsity contributor so far this season— something she didn’t expect. “I only expected to go out and try and do my best,” she said. “I wasn’t sure how everything would turn out. I just wanted to try my hardest.” May was pleased with her performance in a recent flight meet at Wheaton North. She placed fourth in the No. 2 flight, which featured all the teams No. 2 runners. “In each race my time has gotten better,” she said. “At the flight meet it got better again and I was running with the other team’s No. 2 runners. I was able to stay with people that I didn’t

know if I could or not earlier in the season.” At the same time, May is adjusting to life as a high school student. “It’s gone really well,” she said. “At first I thought it would be scary going into high school. And then you get used to it and you figure out how everything works. You figure everything out and you find your spot. You have to get used to balancing schoolwork and sports. I make sure I work on one specific thing at a time and use my time as efficiently as possible and try and fit everything into my schedule.” May said she’s received plenty of running advice from her older brothers. “I look up to my brothers,” she said. “I try to be like them. They are good people and work really hard and they are really good runners.” May and her York teammates are gearing up for the stretch run of the season, which includes the start of the Class 3A state series. “We all have to keep working really hard and keep encouraging each other,” she said. “We have some important meets coming up. We have to give it our all.”
There’s an age-old golf axiom that says driving is for show and putting is for dough. For IC Catholic Prep sophomore Connon Leahy, putting is for championship hardware. Leahy rode his short game straight to the Class 1A Seneca regional championship at Nettle Creek in Morris. Leahy shot a 2-over-par 73 to take top individual honors. His score helped IC Catholic Prep advance as a team to this past Monday’s sectional round. “I hit the ball pretty solid,” he said. “But every time I would miss a green I was able to get up and down and putt well enough. I helped myself every time I missed a green. My short game really saved me. Every time I missed I was up and down one or two times and that was it. My short game has been solid all year. It’s given me a lot of confidence. I’ve been able to get out of some jams because I’m able to rely on my short game when I need to.” Leahy said one notable hole was the birdie he recorded on No. 4. “It was a short hole,” he said. “I used a four-iron off the tee and was in the fairway. I hit a wedge from 130 yards and got within 15 feet and was able to roll in a 15-foot putt uphill.” Leahy noted the regional championship was a welcome relief. “For sure,” he said. “I haven’t had the best season by any means, but I’ve been able to grind it out and come back ready to go for this big stretch of tournaments. Even though I haven’t played my best, I’ve stayed focused and have stayed positive. That has helped me fight through the year strong. This was my first medalist of the season after kind of strug-

gling. It’s a big confidence boost for me.” Leahy also was thrilled that the Knights advanced to sectionals as a team. “It’s awesome for the team,” he said. “It’s an unbelievable group. It’s a great group of guys. It’s so much fun getting a chance to play golf with them every day. It’s awesome that I get to move on with these guys.” Leahy noted the strong regional showing more than made up for the team’s recent finish at the Metro Suburban Conference West Division meet. “We had some high hopes going into conference,” he said. “We came out flat that day and had nothing going. It
was nice to see us shake it off very fast and bounce back at regionals and do very well.” The Knights once again said good-bye to teammate Maddie Hurt, who left the boys team at the end of the regular-season to participate in the Metro Suburban Conference girls tournament and the Class A girls state series. Hurt won a Class A regional title as well last week. “We miss Maddie,” said Leahy. “She’s been a big help this season. Maddie has put up some great scores and has contributed a lot to the team. She has a solid game and is a really good player. It’s cool seeing her do well and also be medalist at the regional. She’s impressive.”
IC Catholic Prep boys golf team advances to sectionals Timothy Christian girls volleyball team racks up two more wins By Mike Miazga Correspondent
The IC Catholic Prep boys golf team finished second at the recent Class 1A Seneca regional and qualified for sectionals. The Knights shot 327 at Nettle Creek Golf Course in Morris. IC Catholic Prep played earlier this week in the Class 1A Byron sectional at Prairie View Golf Course. Connon Leahy was the meet medalist with a 73. Charlie Schoonveld added an 83. John Hoffman shot 85 and Jack Ricobene fired an 86 for the Knights. “From the team perspective it was a bit of redemption,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Don Sujack. “Everyone was disappointed over our play at conference. It seemed our focus was stronger at the regional. Connon’s game was really steady. He drove the ball so well that he was able to take advantage of the scoring holes and was never really out of position. The entire lineup played well enough that we were able to advance with very little drama. The fact we all left a few shots out on the course has the boys really looking forward to sectionals and another opportunity to compete.” IC Catholic Prep girls golfer Maddie Hurt won the Class A Queen of Peace girls regional at Stony Creek with a 71. She played in a Class A sectional earlier in the week at The Village Greens of Woodridge. “Sometimes as a coach you get the chance to just walk, observe and enjoy,” said Sujack. “Mad-
die was in complete control of her swing. It was the best ballstriking round of any high school boy or girl that I have ever seen. She continues to work hard and remains highly motivated. I’m sure other schools have had individual medalists at both the boys’ and girls’ regional tournaments in the same year, but for Connon and Maddie to step up on consecutive days was quite an accomplishment for our program and a real treat to watch.” Timothy Christian boys golf The Timothy Christian boys golf team finished seventh at the recent Class 2A St. Patrick regional in Mundelein. The Trojans shot 372 and did not advance to sectionals. Timothy Christian girls volleyball The Timothy Christian girls volleyball team moved to 23-3 overall and 9-0 in Metro Suburban Conference East Division action after a pair of recent wins. In a 25-11, 25-10 win over Elmwood Park, Dani Van Laten had 16 assists and four aces. Ava Venema had nine kills, while Kendra Teune had seven kills. Zoe Stanton finished with five digs and Tracy Westra had seven assists and four digs. In a 25-6, 25-16 victory over Guerin Prep, Van Laten had 16 assists and 12 digs. Venema had seven kills, while Teune had eight kills and three aces. Stanton had nine digs and Rachel Stoll had four aces and four digs. IC Catholic Prep Girls Tennis Juniors Kelly Hodyl (No. 1 singles) and Autumn Gage (No. 2 singles) both had 5-0 conference regular-season records. Hodyl scored a recent 7-6 (7-0), 6-0 win over Wheaton Academy, while Gage was a 6-3, 6-0 winner over Wheaton Academy.

IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball team defeats ACC, St. Edward Koch racks up 25 kills in two victories; Reardon records triple-double
The IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball team put a rough patch of play squarely behind it with a pair of recent Metro Suburban Conference West Division victories. IC downed Elgin St. Edward and Aurora Central Catholic to move to 15-7 overall and 6-3 in conference play. “We’ve started to put things back together,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Nancy D’Amore. “The girls are playing well. It’s a focus thing. The girls have refocused their ener-
gy back into the team, into the gym and into our goals. Practice has been more intense, which has really helped. In matches we are attacking more efficiently and we’re starting to find open spots on the floor instead of just swinging. We’re doing a better job of creating points. That’s what we needed. Our defense always has been solid. We just needed to find a way to score points sooner.” The Knights have received strong recent play from the likes of captains Claudia Koch, Tess Reardon and Kerry Mulligan. “Kerry has been super consistent at playing at a high level in the back row,” said D’Amore. “It helps to have someone back there who is so consistent and producing. There are no big highs or lows
with her. She’s been a huge help. Claudia and Tess both are taking a lot of swings. We’ve made some adjustments offensively and they are paying off.” Katie Hendricks also has been a force of late in the middle. “Katie is finding her feet in the middle,” said D’Amore. “She had five kills against Aurora Central and had some key blocks at very critical times that took the momentum away from the other side.” In a 25-15, 25-23 win over St. Edward, Koch had 12 kills, two blocks and five digs. Reardon had eight kills, nine assists, nine digs and four aces. Mulligan had 10 digs, one ace and two assists. Giana

IC Catholic Prep punched its playoff ticket with its sixth win of the season last week. The Knights will encoun-
ter a Glenbard South team that has been the ruler of the roost in the MSC for many years. The Raiders are 5-2 this year, but have only two wins against team’s with winning records. Glenbard South’s losses were in its first two non-conference games to Addison Trail and Glenbard East. In comparing two common opponents, Glenbard South beat Wheaton Academy 55-14 (IC Catholic Prep won 40-10) and Aurora Central 42-0 (IC Catholic Prep beat ACC 41-7). In other words, this should be a real good football game.

York senior girls golfer Ellen Foley picked a perfect time to have a dramatic reduction in her score. Foley recently shot a careerlow 78 at the Class AA Wheaton Academy regional at par-72 Pheasant Run in St. Charles. Foley advanced to this past Monday’s Class AA Oak ParkRiver Forest sectional at Cog Hill where berths in the state tournament were on the line. Joining Foley at Cog Hill were junior teammates Christine Millins and Jenny Diamond, who both advanced with 92s. Foley’s previous low round was the 86 she shot at the West Suburban Conference meet the week before. “I was hitting the ball pretty straight,” she said. “It was a fairly short course with a lot of trees. I kept the ball in the fairway and didn’t miss too many putts.” Foley shot 1-over-par on the front nine holes. “I played the course really well in a practice round the previous Saturday,” she said. “I was a little nervous that I would be able to do it again. It felt good shooting that. I’m happy with how I’m playing. I’m playing my best golf right now and I shot my lowest score. I was a little surprised (at shooting 78) but it’s exciting to see it all come together.” Foley had one birdie in her
assists in recording a tripledouble (double digits in three statistical categories). Koch had 13 kills and 10 digs. Hendricks had five kills and two blocks, while Mulligan had 13 digs and two aces.
250 yards. I was about 140 yards out and mishit my next shot and ended up in front of a sand trap. I chipped on and had about a six-foot putt that I drained for birdie.” Looking back at her senior season, Foley noted her biggest strides have come off the tee and with her putter. “I’m hitting the ball father than I have,” she said. “Earlier in the season I was struggling off the tee. I started hitting it straighter and my putting has gotten a lot better at the end of the season. I’m making a lot more putts for birdie. I’ve probably made more birdie putts this year than the previous three years combined.” Foley, who has a 4.69 gradepoint average at York and is contemplating something environmental science-related as a major in college, started playing golf right before her freshman year at York. “It was a few weeks before tryouts,” she said. “I told my parents I wanted to go out for golf. I started with kids clubs. I loved the coaches and the teams have been so fabulous that I can’t imagine not playing golf.” Foley is a three-sport athlete at York. She also plays basketball and soccer. Foley currently is juggling golf and club soccer (Team Elmhurst). “It’s pretty busy during the school year,” she said. “It seems like I’m never home.

Stoney Creek in Oak Lawn. “Going into the round I was very confident in my game,” she said. “I was hitting the ball very solid with every club. I was really confident. I had a good warm-up. I did my putting drills beforehand and felt good. Everything felt good. I was very relaxed. I went out and played. I wasn’t too worried about the other scores. I just wanted to go out and shoot a good score.” And shoot a good score she did. Hurt won the Queen of Peace regional title with a 71. “I drove the ball well,” she said. “I’ve been practicing every day and it definitely has paid off. Every shot I hit was very clean.” Hurt birdied her second hole on the par-65 course. “I had a long putt on that hole. It was a par-3,” she said of the birdie. “I would say the putt was about 25 feet uphill. It was a left to right putt. I had to get some speed on it and I rolled it in.” Hurt was coming off shooting 86 at the Metro Suburban Conference girls’ tournament the previous week. “I felt very good about my swing at conference and shot the 86, which is one of the higher rounds I’ve shot,” she said. “I knew I had to go back and focus on my game. At conference I was trying to score too much instead of playing my own game. I was more relaxed at regionals and it showed with my score.” Hurt enjoyed playing on the regional course in Oak Lawn. “The par-4s were shorter than I was used to,” she said. “I had some approach shots under 45-50 yards. It’s an executive course with a lot of par-3s. I liked the course. It played very well for my game.” Hurt said she again benefitted from playing the regular season with the IC Catholic Prep boys team. The Knights do not have a girls golf team. “Playing with the guys you are playing from longer distances,” she said. “My short game had to be on and I had to really focus on that. The main focus is to try and get up and down and get those par saves. That’s where the short game comes into play.”

Timothy Christian’s Brush wins sudden-death playoff to advance Competed in Class 2A boys golf sectional earlier this week By Mike Miazga Correspondent
Timothy Christian boys golfer Jimmy Brush qualified for sectionals and had a thrilling time doing it. Brush, a senior, survived a sudden-death two-hole playoff to earn the last qualifying spot at the Class 2A St. Patrick regional at Pine Meadow in Mundelein. Brush played in the Class 2A Nazareth Academy sectional at Broken Arrow in Lockport earlier this week. “It was pretty eventful,” said Brush, who shot an 87. “I had a good front, but had some bad holes on the back and then went to a playoff. The rest is history so to speak.” Brush and one other golfer both double-bogeyed the first playoff hole (No. 10). Brush made par on the second hole to win it. “I had a par putt and he was putting for bogey,” he said. “My putt was 10 feet away. It broke at the last second, which was nice. I didn’t have to do any more holes. It got
over quick. I hit my tee shot into the trees and punched out with a seven iron. It was a good recovery shot. I had a 30- to 40-foot birdie putt that went 10 feet beyond the hole so ended up with a two-putt. Luckily the second one went in there.” Brush had to deal with a little added pressure in the playoff—a large crowd watching. “The first tee shot there was a huge gallery of players,” he said. “It was a big crowd. There
were some nerves there but they went away quickly and I played my regular game. I got used to it pretty quick. They were following us around for both holes and doing regular golf stuff like clapping for tee shots and the oohs and ahs for close putts.” Brush shot 41 on the front nine. “I started out with a double bogey and then hit a stretch of five or six straight pars. I made amends. Those pars helped out on the front nine.”
Brush missed qualifying for the sectional last year by a stroke. “I went to sectionals sophomore year so I wanted to get back there,” he said. Brush, who had three rounds in the 30s for nine holes and one sub-80 round for 18 during the regular season, noted his senior season has been fun both as an individual and with the Trojans’ team. “I love the competition and I love being out here with good golfers,” he said. “It’s been a
really good season both individually and with the team. We finished 8-4 and the good thing is the teams we lost to beat us. We didn’t beat ourselves. A lot of guys had good years. This definitely has been my best golf season. It’s been a lot of fun with these guys. I looked forward to coming to practice every day. I can’t say enough about this team. I enjoyed their company. It was a fantastic experience this year. All in all it’s been a great season.”
Timothy Christian’s Byrne passes 100 career win plateau Senior looking to make another state tournament appearance By Mike Miazga Correspondent
Different sports have different key statistical milestones associated with them. In terms of high school tennis, 100 individual wins is a big deal. Timothy Christian senior girls tennis player McKenna Byrne joined that exclusive club earlier this season. Through late last week, Byrne had 114 career wins at
Timothy against only 16 losses. Byrne was 29-4 as a freshman, 34-7 as a sophomore, 29-4 last year and was 21-1 this season through late last week. Byrne has three conference titles and three state tournament appearances to her credit. During her time at Timothy, the Trojans’ varsity teams have a combined record of 68-10-2. Byrne has been hard at work this season and has the sparkling 21-1 record to show for it. “I’ve been really focusing on my serve. I work on it every week,” she said. “I’ve also been focusing a lot on getting my returns in more and switch-

for each other.” Byrne labeled a match against Chicago University High as her favorite thus far this season. “The girl from the other team is really good,” said Byrne. “We split sets and I won the tiebreak. My whole team was watching and cheering me on and that felt very special. These good teams we play help us at the end of the season.” Byrne labeled the 100-win achievement “really cool.” “It’s something that has never happened before here,” she said. “Coach (Keith Mills) made it special for me. He got me a cookie cake and announced it in front of everybody and said he was proud of me. That made me realize why I like playing tennis.” Byrne is considering studying nursing in college and said it would be “amazing” if she was able to play tennis at the next level. “I really want to play,” she said. With the home stretch of the season upon us, Byrne has a couple goals in mind. “I’d like to win the sectional and then be able to be seeded at state,” she said. “I know I’m going to have to be tough out there and be on my game because there are some very good tennis players. I’m looking forward to it.”

ing it up on how I return it to throw off the opponent.” Looking at that 29-4 rookie season at Timothy, Byrne said her game today is much different than it was four years ago. “Freshman year I made a lot of mistakes and couldn’t stay mentally focused during matches,” she said. “This year I am able to stay focused and get the ball in. I don’t mess up anymore. The mental side of the game is the most important part. Momentum can change very easily in a match. You have to make sure you stay positive all the time.” Byrne has been playing tennis since her earlier childhood. “My mom put me in the sport and I really enjoy it,” she said. “I like the competitiveness of it and I like playing singles. You are responsible for what you do out there and I really like that aspect.” Byrne continues to have a blast in the Timothy tennis program. “Being part of Timothy Christian tennis is very fun,” she said. “It’s the highlight of the high school year. Everybody on the team is great. These are some of the best people I have ever met. We are close and we always cheer each other on and keep each other pumped up. That helps us in matches.

York hockey club earns ‘spirited’ win over Hinsdale Central
York girls tennis team seventh at Lockport invitational Dukes defeat Fenwick for 17th win, most since 2009 By Mike Miazga Correspondent
The York girls tennis team recently placed seventh out of 32 teams at the Lockport invitational. The Dukes went 3-2 in dual matches at Lockport and thus matched its 16-win total from the previous five seasons. York coach Tres Heimann cited strong play from the No. 1 doubles team of Abby Brigman and Alex Hennessy. Brigman and Hennessy went 4-1. “They are striking the ball well and playing very aggressive doubles,” he said. “In their match against Neuqua Valley they were down 9-7 in the supertiebreaker (played to10). They fought off two match points against them and ended up winning the match 12-10.” Doubles also played a role in the seventh-place match where the No. 3 team of Jacki Riek and Liz Mazzocco won the first set 7-5, but dropped the second 6-2. Riek and Mazzocco found themselves down 3-0 in the deciding set but came back and scored the important win. “They fell in a hole but worked out of it and came up with some big shots and big serves to close out the match and clinch the dual meet.” In a 5-0 win over Tinley Park at Lincoln-Way Central, Maja Shaw was an 8-3 winner at No. 1 singles. Lauren Fonorow won 8-0 at No. 2 singles. Hennessy and Brigman were 8-5 winners at No. 1 doubles. Riek and Tara Meyer were 8-5 winners at No.
2 doubles, while Jessica Paist and Anna Lubertozzi were 8-0 winners at No. 3 doubles. In a 4-1 win over Plainfield North at Lincoln-Way Central, Paist was an 8-1 winner at No. 2 singles. Brigman and Hennessy were 8-4 winners at No. 1 doubles. Julia Riddle and Claire Meyer were 8-6 winners at No. 2 doubles. Lauren Cushing and Mazzocco were 8-4 winners at No. 3 doubles. In a 4-1 loss to Neuqua Valley in Naperville, Brigman and Hennessy were 6-7(1), 6-4, (1210) winners at No.1 doubles. York also lost 5-0 to Sandburg in the consolation semifinals at Waubonsie Valley in Aurora. In the seventh-place match, York edged Lincoln-Way East 3-2 at Waubonsie Valley. Maja Shaw was a 6-0, 6-2 winner at No. 1 singles. Brigman and Hennessy were 6-2, 6-2 winners at No. 1 doubles and Riek and Mazzocco were 7-5, 2-6, (10-6) winners at No. 3 doubles. In other recent action, York dropped a 7-1 non-conference match to Benet Academy in Lisle. Fonorow was a 6-1, 6-1 winner at No. 3 singles. York then recorded a 5-3 nonconference win over Fenwick at Taylor Park in Oak Park to improve to 17-14 on the season. The 17 wins are the most for York since the 2009 season (where it won 19). Claire Meyer and Riddle were 7-5, 6-2 winners at No. 2 doubles. Cushing and Tara Meyer were 8-2 winners at No. 3 doubles. Riek and Mazzocco were 8-3 winners at No. 4 doubles, while Jessica Paist and Lubertozzi were 8-0 winners at No. 5 doubles. Katie Toohey and Lauren Aloia were 8-0 winners at No. 6 doubles.
The game was played before a capacity crowd on “Spirit Night.” The victory improved York’s league record to 3-0-1. “We showed our ability to dominate an opponent by utilizing good puck movement, offensive pressure and a very active forecheck,” said York Coach Bruce Turpin. “In addition, we took advantage of our strong group of defensemen that all have very heavy shots and the ability to join the rush to help us create offensive opportunities.” The Dukes started the scoring in the first period when senior Grey Miller delivered the game’s first goal on assists by senior Frank Wheatland and junior Michael Rouzer. A minute later York defense-
men Tom Sieracki and Rouzer took control of the power play and moved the puck with ease around the Red Devil defense until freshman Aiden Mann scored on a wrist shot from the slot to double the Duke lead. York came out strong in the second period when junior Nick Lee passed the puck to senior Cam Dobraka on the point. Dobraka ripped a slap shot that the Hinsdale Central goalie blocked. Dukes junior Jack Redick cleaned up the rebound and lit the lamp to give the Dukes a 3-0 lead. In the third period Hinsdale was able to take advantage of a York turnover and scored to make it 3-1 but York came storming back when Rouzer scored a goal on assists by
freshman Billy Paschen and senior Joe Levin. Senior goalie Jack Buckley made 18 saves to preserve the victory over the Red Devils. Addison Ice Arena was clad in green, black and pink streamers for the game and posters adorned the walls as York hockey club hosted its “Spirit Night” in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Many of the players dedicated the game to friends and loved ones that have battled the disease and the large crowd wore York Hockey Cancer Awareness t-shirts. “It was great to have so many people in the stands cheering us on,” said Lee. “We were playing for a little bit more tonight and it showed.”
York boys golf team wins regional championship Gunst earns individual medalist honors with a 1-under-71 By Mike Miazga Correspondent
The York boys golf team added another impressive accomplishment to an already impressive season. The Dukes shot a 294 to win the Class 3A Lake Park regional title at Indian Lakes in Bloomingdale. The win sent York to this past Monday’s Conant sectional at Bridges of Poplar Creek County Club in Hoffman Estates. York easily won the regional title, finishing 30 strokes ahead of second-place Lake Park and 40 strokes ahead of Oak ParkRiver Forest, which finished third and earned the final sectional berth. “We played very well,” said York coach Jim Borel. “We took all the medals available at the regional, which is a great accomplishment.” Will Gunst won the individual regional title with a 1-under-par 71. Jordan Less finished second
with a 73. Tom Manning placed third with a 74, while Mitchell Russell was fourth with a 76 and Mark Leali tied for fifth with a 78 and picked up the fifth and final individual medal. York’s 294 was one stroke off its previous best 18-hole showing of the year, a 293 at the Hinsdale Central invitational (which York also won). The regional title was York’s fourth 18-hole tournament win of the season and third in a row. “It means a lot winning the regional title,” said Gunst. “It’s very exciting. We feel like all the hard work is starting to pay off. The way we have been playing is very encouraging going into the sectional. We have a lot of confidence from winning regionals.” Gunst said it was business as usual for him on the course in Bloomingdale. “It was nothing that special,” he said when asked what helped him shoot the 1-under round. “I hit a lot of fairways and greens. I also played the par 5s at 5-under par. I was hitting a lot of the par 5s in two, which helped get easy birdies. Playing under par on the longer holes is something that is important for me.
There were a lot of tough pins out there, but my putter was on most of the day. I was able to get the putter going, which was nice.” Gunst’s round was punctuated with an eagle on the second hole he played. “The eagle was awesome,” he said. “I killed the drive. I got to 120 yards in and cut the corner. I hit a wedge to about 15-20 feet away and my putt ended up going in. It was very encouraging to have that very early in the round. It was something I built off.” Gunst also shot 71 earlier in the season to finish fourth at the Dundee-Crown Charger Classic. In earlier action, the Dukes also won the Lake Park invitational. York shot 306 in the 24-team field. Less was third with a 73. Tom Manning finished eighth with a 77. Gunst also shot 77, while Russell shot 79. York also competed in the annual Elmhurst Classic with IC Catholic Prep and Timothy Christian. York finished 11 under. IC Catholic Prep was

Rauner tries to crank up the pressure Democrats say he’s peddling same old material By Mark Fitton Illinois News Network
SPRINGFIELD — Gov. Bruce Rauner on Wednesday painted his side of the budgetimpasse picture, saying that while his department heads are saving the state millions, he needs his agenda items to
restore faith in Illinois government and invigorate the economy. Democrats said the governor’s speech was just more of the same and argued Rauner needs to address the budget crises without making his proposals preconditions. Speaking to a business group in Oak Lawn, the governor said his ideas aren’t about Republicans versus Democrats, but about breaking a cycle of deficit spending and tax increases.

“The key question is, ‘Will we stay on this failed path of the status quo or will we change direction?’” Rauner said. Restoring faith in government, he said, “is the single most important thing we can do.” The governor particularly emphasized giving local governments the option to cut back the areas addressable in collective bargaining with public employees. “It is a critical bipartisan issue

where we can find common ground,” Rauner said. “Getting rid of unfunded mandates and giving decision-making authority on bargaining, bidding and contracting back to local communities can save taxpayers billions.” The first-term Republican governor also challenged legislative Democrats to either join him or pass a tax increase. “If you block reforms, then use your supermajority to pass your own tax increase to pay for the spending level that you want,” he said. “But choose now … the people of Illinois have been waiting long enough.” Speaker of the House Michael Madigan of Chicago, who is also the state’s Democratic Party chairman, sees things differently. “As I have stated since January, the No. 1 issue facing the state is the budget deficit,” he said in a news release. “The governor, however, has refused to focus on solving our budget deficit, instead focusing on other issues.” Madigan and other Democrats say the governor’s calls for diminished collective bargaining in the public sector, elimination of prevailing wage rules for public projects and changes to the state’s workers compensation system would hurt the middle class. “I’ve stated all year that I will work with the governor cooperatively and professionally, but we will not devastate Illinois’ middle class and struggling families by furthering an agenda aimed at driving down their wages and their standard of living,” he said. Madigan says the governor’s refusing to work on this year’s
budget has led to cuts in programs including child care for struggling families, meals for the homebound elderly and services for people with disabilities. Illinois is now in its fourth month of fiscal year 2016 without a budget. Rauner and the GOP argue Democrats have proposed a plan billions heavier in spending than revenue. While Rauner says he’s willing to discuss new revenue, he says he won’t sign off until he gets at least some of his agenda items, which he considers fundamental reforms. Democrats complain Rauner and the GOP have been unwilling to work with them until the governor gets what he wants, and they don’t consider his “Turnaround Agenda” items directly related to the annual budget. The governor answers that his proposals are necessary to improve the state’s economy and retain jobs and population. Meanwhile, the state remains without a budget, with primary and secondary education the largest exceptions. But even without a master budget, the state is spending at clip said to be driving it toward a $5 billion shortfall for the budget year. There’s been little in the way of actual movement from either side, the General Assembly isn’t scheduled to return to Springfield until Oct. 20. Widespread speculation in the Capital is that the calendar year may run out before much, if anything, changes. Further, analysts say Illinois could find itself flat broke in the spring, months short of the June 30, 2016, conclusion of the fiscal year.

The scene: It’s 2015 and a regret-filled Napoleon is exploring the land now known as Iowa. Kayaking, stomping grapes, cycling and savoring local cuisine, Napoleon learns first-hand what he lost in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. As other travelers meet Napoleon they excitedly exclaim “This is Iowa!” A remorseful Napoleon replies with a “Yep.” “Our mission is to grow the state’s economy by attracting travelers who spend money at our attractions, lodging facilities, restaurants, stores and more,” said Shawna Lode, Iowa Tourism Office manager. “Just as Iowa offers unexpected destinations, Napoleon delivers our messaging in an unexpected way, cutting through the clutter and making more of an impact on potential travelers.” Nearly a dozen different Iowa locations are featured in the ads including wineries, iconic landmarks, parks and waterways and great restaurants. As prospective travelers are enticed by Napoleon’s hijinks at these locations, they will be directed to visit traveliowa.com to plan their own Iowa getaway. All of the ads can be viewed at traveliowa.com/thisisiowa.

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin’s 16 million acres of forests will soon transform from bright green to vibrant seasonal hues, and travelers can use the Travel Wisconsin Fall Color Report to find the best fall color and plan their getaway. With more than 25,000 views so far, the award-winning report has seen a steady increase in website traffic since July, nearly two months earlier than last year’s Fall Color Report. The report, which officially launched on TravelWisconsin.com, offers an interactive map with links to nearby events, lodging and dining; local travel tips, such as scenic drives and seasonal activities; and the ability to share, tag and rate photos.
