ICCP establishes scholarship for grad killed in boating accident Terry Doherty lost at sea near Ireland 20 years ago

according to Doherty’s sister Mary Collins, of Villa Park. At the time of the tragedy, Doherty’s family and friends in the United States and in Ireland helped with an exhaustive search. “We contacted dozens of officials, from the mayor of Elmhurst to President Clinton, including U.S. senators, magazine editors, the Irish Consulate in Chicago and officials involved in the search in Ireland,” Collins said. “Unfortunately, the search, which has included 400 workers, 40 boats and six aircraft, yielded very few clues about the missing vessel.” Terry Doherty grew up in Elmhurst, a middle child of seven brothers and sisters. His parents, John and Mary Doherty, came from Ireland 55 years ago, settling in Elmhurst to raise their family. When they returned to their homeland and retired to the fishing village of Greencastle, Terry joined them and entered the adventurous, lucrative and dangerous world of commer-

ELMHURST — This week marks 20 years since the fishing boat called the Carrickatine was lost in the frigid, stormbrewed waters of the North Sea. Among the lost six-member crew was 23-year-old Elmhurst resident Terry Doherty.

Terry Doherty is pictured here in his senior class photo when he graduated from IC High School. After living in Elmhurst for 55 years, his parents decided to return to their homeland and retired to the fishing village of Greencastle in Ireland. Later he joined them there and began working in the lucrative but sometimes dangerous world of commercial fishing.

cial fishing. All of Terry’s siblings, John, Liam, Mary, Brian and Tim live in either Elmhurst or the neighboring communities. Another sister, Kathy lives in Greencastle, County Donegal, Ireland. A new scholarship is being created at IC Catholic Prep to honor and remember Terry, a 1991 graduate. “Terry loved adventure, was adored by his family and friends and while he has been gone for twenty years, his spirit lives on,” said Pam Levar, president/ principal of IC Catholic Prep (ICCP) in Elmhurst. “Terry embodied our mission to think independently, act selflessly, and lead confidently. While his life on earth was too short he always thrived to make the world a better place.” To make a gift to the Terry Doherty Memorial Scholarship, checks can be made payable to IC Catholic Prep and mailed to The Terry Doherty Memorial Scholarship Fund, c/o IC Catholic Prep, 217 Cottage Hill Avenue, Elmhurst, 60126; or call 630-530-3485.

Terry Doherty is pictured here in his uniform, back when he played football for ICCP. Doherty was killed on a boating excursion in Ireland in 1995. ICCP is developing a scholarship fund in his name.

The Carrickatine remains Ireland’s worst fishing tragedy. “The only sign that was ever found of the missing 86-foot

fishing boat was three fishing boxes and pieces of the boat’s deck floating off an island near where the boat set sail,”

Doll sparks memories of ‘When it rains, it pours’ By Grace Duhasek Lexington Square resident

here were many famous families that contributed to the growth and prosperity of Chicago, such as the Swift, Armour, McCormick, Palmer and Insul families, to name just a few. But the Mortons of the Morton Salt Company were right up there with them. And unlike some of the others, the Morton Salt Company is still in business and doing well to this day. Thanks to the generosity of the Morton family, Chicago has the great Morton Arboretum in Lisle, the Morton Wing of the Chicago Art Institute, the Omnimax Theater at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, as well as many other civic projects. While I can’t claim a direct link to the family, I can tell you about a REMOTE link that I still cherish and still have with me here at Lexington. It is a doll, which is a replica of the very first little girl carrying an upside-down box of

Letters to the Editor LEAGUE: State restores civics to high school, yet sets poor example for youth

This legislative session, a bipartisan bill was passed and signed by Governor Rauner restoring civics education as a high school graduation requirement in Illinois, a hard fought victory for the League of Women Voters of Illinois and our partners. This legislation fulfills the goal of helping young people acquire and learn to use the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that will prepare them to be competent and responsible citizens throughout their lives. Are the current leaders of this state exemplifying competent and responsible citizenship? Governor Rauner and the General Assembly were elected to govern, not to hold the most vulnerable in our state hostage to political ideology. Governing requires discussion and compromise in order to find solutions the legislature is

willing to pass and the Governor is willing to sign. We implore state leaders to pass a budget now that includes sufficient revenue and no additional cuts, not when it works into a political time table. The damage being done to our citizens due to a lack of a budget is life altering, if not life threatening. Voices for Illinois Children, a fellow member in the Responsible Budget Coalition, compiled a recent report laying out the devastating impact of the budget impasse on senior services, mental health provision, early intervention programs for children, after school programs, autism services, domestic violence shelters, oil and conservation work, and services to homeless families, to name a few. The domino effect of further delay on lost jobs and vital services only plunges our state further into economic turmoil. It is time to get down to the work of governing. We are counting on you to show what civics in action looks like, Governor Rauner, Speaker Madigan, House Republican Leader Durkin, Senate President Cullerton, Senate Republican

Garden Club donates $4500 Members of the Elmhurst Garden Club presented a check for $4,500 to the park district at the beginning of the meeting. The funds came from proceeds from the garden club’s 20th annual garden walk and faire, which took place on July 12. The faire, which was held in Wilder Park, included tours of the park’s renovated conservatory and newly built greenhouses. The garden club thanked the park district for its cooperation in presenting the annual event. According to the garden club, the event has raised a total of about $250,000 for worthy charities in the last 20 years. IG, storm water discussions continue The meeting included a discussion of the park district’s ongoing negotiations with the City of Elmhurst to reach an agreement regarding the city’s plans to construct storm water detention basins on park district property. The park district and city are trying to reach an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) containing terms related to the construction of detention areas on multiple park district sites. A storm water subcommittee, which includes representatives from the park district and city, held its last meeting on Oct. 29. Elmhurst Park District Executive Director Jim Rogers, who is one of the park district’s representatives on the committee, said the two sides will continue to work to resolve their differences. The storm water subcommittee will hold its next meeting on Nov. 12. Board talks capital improvements, budget The majority of the park district board’s Nov. 4 meeting included a presentation outlining the district’s capital improvement plans for 2016. The proposed capital budget for 2016 is about $4.14 million. More than half of that

amount—about $2.45 million—will be directed toward the redevelopment of Butterfield Park. Improvements to Butterfield Park continue The 2016 redevelopment at Butterfield Park includes about $1.63 million in various improvements, including resurfacing and upgraded lighting of the tennis courts, the installation of a new basketball court, the resurfacing of the east and west walking paths and work to improve drainage. Another $600,000 of the $2.45 million in improvements will cover the redevelopment of the playground at the park to fully-accessible Playground for Everyone that will exceed accessibility standards required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The $600,000 project will include a fully accessible barrierfree playground (at a cost of $500,000) and the installation of soft surfacing, which will cost $100,000. The 2016 improvements at Butterfield Park will also include the total resurfacing of the parking lot located on East Van Buren Street. The project to repair the parking lot has an estimated cost of $125,000. Another improvement planned for the park next year is the replacement of the backstops and player fences. The anticipated cost of that project is $90,000. Projects in other Elmhurst Parks that are in the 2016 capital improvement plan include: redevelopment/construction of a beginner’s sledding hill at Ben Allison Park ($170,000); completing the engineering, design and construction of an asphalt Salt Creek Greenway Trail Connector ($145,000) near Butterfield and Brush Hill roads and resurfacing the two tennis courts and one roller hockey court at Eldridge Park ($110,000). Wagner Center, HVAC, equipment top list for 2016 Next year’s capital improvements to park district facilities include $130,000 in upgrades to the Wagner Community Center, where upgrades will include the replacement of inefficient Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) units and the installation of new air conditioning units in Classrooms One and Two. The 2016 capital improvement plan also calls for about $100,000 in improvements to the front entrance of the administrative building.

Other capital improvements in the 2016 plan include $200,000 toward vehicle and equipment replacement (excluding fitness equipment). The district plans to replace a 12-year-old Ford F-550 dump truck ($60,000), a 9-year-old facilities van ($30,000) and a 14-year-old pickup truck ($30,000) that is part of the ball field crew. The $80,000 in equipment replacements include the replacement of a 16-year-old Skid Steer Loader ($60,000) and a 72-inch mower ($20,000). The current mower is five years old and used daily during the mowing season. The 2016 capital plan includes about $515,000 in enterprise facility projects, including the installation of energy-efficient LED lighting to 72 fixtures in the tennis court area at Courts Plus ($175,000) and fitness equipment replacement at Courts Plus (about $120,000). Other improvements at Courts Plus include replacement of HVAC units and expanding the security system to include cameras at Kids Plus, as well as all exits and the parking lot. The enterprise facility projects also include about $20,000 toward replacing the wooden flooring in the White Birch Room and hallway at Wilder Mansion. The overall capital plan for next year also includes contingency funding of $75,000 for change orders and unanticipated emergencies.

Long-range capital plans include infrastructure The district’s long-range capital plan for the next 10 years, including 2016, calls for about $45.2 million in infrastructure and equipment improvements. According to information provided by the district, capital projects as defined by the district include: construction of new facilities; remodeling or expansion of existing facilities; the purchase, improvement and development of land; operating equipment and machinery for new or expanded facilities and planning and engineering costs related to a specific capital improvement.

Rogers noted that the Nov. 18 board meeting would include a presentation about the operating budget for 2016. He said the Dec. 2 meeting would feature continued discussion about the proposed budget for next year. The board will reportedly vote to approve the proposed budget at its Dec. 16 meeting. The park board’s next regular meeting will take place on Nov. 18.

ELMHURST — Last week, the Elmhurst Police Department issued a notice that a 67-year-old man with a learning disability was missing and considered to be in danger because of his inability to care for himself. The individual was identified as Thomas D. Schiavone, 67, whose caretaker last saw him on Friday, November 6 at about 12 noon when Schiavone left for an unknown destination. Schiavone reportedly has the mental capacity of a 10-yearold child and is unable to care for himself. He does not drive or have access to a vehicle, nor does he have a cellular telephone or money. According to a release issued by Police Chief Michael Ruth just before the Independent’s press time, officials were still

investigating the disappearance of Schiavone. However, midafternoon on Monday, November 9, the Independent received another release from the City indicating Schiavone had been found safe and was in generally good health. Authorities from Kenosha, Wis. contacted Elmhurst Police when they found Schiavone had been reported as a missing person. Preliminary information indicates that Schiavone took a train from Chicago to Kenosha on Friday. Someone there reported that he appeared to be lost or confused about his surroundings. Local authorities conducted a routine name check, which revealed that Schiavone was entered into the NCIC computer system as a missing person. Late Monday, detectives were making arrangements to bring Schiavone back to Elmhurst.

Continued from page 1 “No veteran in need is ever turned away by the American Legion,” Leader said. “The message we will send is that Elmhurst is a compassionate community that courageously stands by its veterans in need. We owe a debt to those who served, and those who do serve. This is a small thing we can do for our Elmhurst veterans, they who have done so much for us.” At the beginning of the meeting, Mayor Steve Morley commented that he had trouble getting to his seat because there were so many people in the Council room. The fire chief, with an eye on the room capacity of about 160 people, was keeping some from entering Council Chambers until a number of police officers and their families left after some promotional ceremonies were completed. But the mention of a web site with about 500 signatures against video gaming was an even stronger statement. A res-

ident commented that it was pretty clear that video gaming was not something for Elmhurst. One bar owner assured the situation was not as bad as it seemed. The bars and restaurants would not turn into “gambling halls.” (The City proposal would limit each business with a liquor license to five video gaming machines. The proposal prohibited video gaming in gas stations and grocery stores.) The owner said bars and restaurants were losing business to establishments in neighboring communities where video gaming was allowed. He just wanted “an even playing field.” A representative of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ECCI) said the board of directors was for video gaming and he pointed out that seven of the eight municipalities bordering Elmhurst had video gaming. Members of fraternal organizations indicated that they

needed more revenue or they faced the possibility of closing. They said they provide services that other organizations do not provide. One resident, who was against video gaming, commented that the City had plenty of other attractions for people to enjoy. She said video gaming would change the character of Elmhurst, that video gaming

Heroin: The Human Story Area LWV chapters come together for special program

ELMHURST — It seems like every day we read another headline about heroin addiction and heroin overdose deaths. President Obama went to West Virginia to talk about opioid use and abuse. The Rolling Meadows Police are trying a unique approach by helping addicts get treatment rather than an arrest record. There are task forces, commissions and town halls. Laws are passed, and yet the statistics continue to mount. There were 169 heroin deaths in DuPage County from 2010-2014. The staggering statistics rarely tell the human story. Several local chapters of the League of Women Voters will present that story on Thursday, November 19 beginning at 7 p.m. at the Wheaton Park District Community Center, 1777 S.

Blanchard Rd, Wheaton. The invited speaker is Felicia Miceli, whose 24-year-old son Louis became a statistic of heroin overdose in 2012. Louie’s mother became an activist and an advocate, started the LTM Foundation, and continues to strive to prevent the spread of addiction via education and awareness programs. Felicia was an original member of the DuPage County Heroin Task Force, and she works with other advocacy groups lobbying for life-saving legislation. Learn more about Felicia’s efforts on behalf of her son and the foundation she created at ltmfoundation. org. Join the Leagues of Women Voters of Elmhurst, Roselle-Bloomingdale, and Wheaton for this special program. There will be a meet-and-greet at 7 p.m. with the program beginning at 7:30. The event is free and open to the public.

And You Are…Dr. Jennie Brown Elmhurst College Flute Instructor; Member of Picosa Chamber Ensemble By Jean Lawrence For The Elmhurst Independent

r. Jennie Brown has instructed Elmhurst flute players ranging from young children through adults for more than two decades and has recently expanded her career to include participating in a chamber ensemble and releasing her first CD. For the past 25 years, she has provided private flute instruction out of her local studio and is now in her third year on the faculty of Elmhurst College. “Some of my students are very accomplished music majors, others are accomplished on the flute and majoring in other fields, and others are very experienced with other instruments and want to learn the flute,” she said. “For example, some of my students play the sax and want to eventually play on Broadway. They are more employable if they add the flute so it’s a smart career move.” Dr. Brown complements her academic year instruction with two week-long summer music programs at Elmhurst College. Her annual Summer Music Academy is a chamber music festival for strings, winds, brass and percussion, while her newer Credo Flute program focuses on the flute.

Along with Elmhurst resident Jeffrey Panko and three others, Dr. Brown recently joined forces to create a premier chamber ensemble called Picosa. Now in its second year, Picosa blends flute, clarinet, violin, cello and piano and performs at Chicago’s Gottlieb Hall and Oak Brook’s Mayslake Peabody Estate. Dr. Brown serves as Picosa’s Artistic Director. “The members have known each other for many years,” she said. “We get along very well and respect each

other as musicians. We all wanted to play multiple genres from different eras. We love performing at Mayslake because the acoustics are perfect for chamber music, the audience can be close to the performers, and it is a beautiful and historic setting.” On November 5, Picosa performed a fall concert at Mayslake and will be performing again on November 14 at Gottlieb Hall. Tickets are available at picosamusic.com. Two more Mayslake performances are planned

for the season. Picosa supports Hesed House, a center for ending homelessness, by donating a portion of ticket sales. Picosa’s fall concerts are based on their newly released album “Looking Back: Flute Music of Joseph Schwantner.” “The style of Schwantner’s music sweeps the listener through a variety of complex experiences ranging from lovely simple melodies to raw emotional outbursts,” Dr. Brown said. “It’s incredibly moving music.” The CD is included with general admission tickets to Picosa’s concerts. Starting to play the flute in eighth grade, Dr. Brown went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in music from Northwestern University and a Master’s and Doctorate in Musical Arts from the Eastman School of Music. She and her husband moved to Elmhurst in 1997. “My husband’s grandpa built a house in Elmhurst in the 1940’s and his mom grew up here. She went to York and designed a yearbook cover that’s still on display there. We love Elmhurst. It’s a great community.” Dr. Brown’s two children attended Timothy Christian and York, where her second is now a sophomore. She has volunteered in her children’s school music programs, has coached York chamber music groups and has adjudicated York’s solo nights. “At this stage of my life, my time is all about my music and my family. It’s a happy place to be.”

are inherent benefits to the occasional siesta. I’m not alone. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 85 percent of mammals are polyphasic sleepers. Polyphasic sleepers snooze in short spurts, aka naps. My felines nap all the time. (They don’t call them catnaps for nothing.) If 85 percent of the animal population is doing something there has to be a good reason for it. Napping is a way to avoid predators, get through the day unscathed and stay alive. It’s pretty intelligent, really. I always knew my cats were smarter than me. Animal kingdom aside, many important and influential people throughout history were nappers. Winston Churchill, John F. Kennedy, Napoleon, Einstein and Thomas Edison all napped – but not together. There are actual books written on the benefits of napping, but why read about the subject

The Willowbrook/Burr Ridge Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Rock Valley Publishing are pleased to announce the...

when you can take a real nap yourself? Scientific research shows numerous benefits to catching a few ZZZs in the afternoon. A NASA study found that short naps improve performance and alertness. According to the buzz at Buzzfeed, napping can heighten creativity, promote relaxation, enhance memory, brighten mood and lower blood pressure. We’ve all heard the expression, “You snooze you lose.” With naps, this might just be the case. Studies show that sleepy fellows reach for less high-fat, sugary foods than those walking around with bags under their eyes. That’s not all. I saved the best for last. Sleep deprivation dampens sex drive. Napping reverses the effect. This is exponentiated if you can get your significant other to nap with you. I may sleep on Saturdays, but some are taking napping to new levels – and days of the week. There’s a growing trend that encourages short naps at work. Employers are recognizing the positive benefits of napping and allowing workers to catch a little shut-eye during the lunch hour. Some even provide napping

f given an extra hour or two on a Saturday afternoon, some people will go out and play a round of golf or tennis. (There’s never time for both.) Others will take a warm bath, curl up with a good book or make a fresh batch of homemade peanut butter cookies. Maybe there’s a good movie or game or “Naked and Afraid” on TV. Some (but not many) will clean out the garage. Each of these options has its own attributes, and I might choose any of them on an unencumbered Saturday, but none would be my first choice. I have a secret indulgence reserved for Saturday afternoons. Sometimes my husband joins me. When I have a moment (or two) I opt for a nap. There, I said it. I am a napper. I love (love, love) taking naps. Some Saturday mornings I wake up early just so I can schedule in a nap. I’m creative that way. I do not readily admit to my nappiness. It might make me appear lazy – sleeping in the middle of the day and all. We live in a society where productivity and action are valued.

It gives whole new meaning to the term “sleeping on the job.” I’ve always been a closet napper. Then I did some research for this column and discovered we afternoon sleepers should be loud and proud about our noontime habits. A little after-

noon sleep can increase creativity, help you lose weight and boost your sex life. (Kaching!) There isn’t any pill anywhere that can do that. Counting sheep after lunch? I say count me in.

The question to ask, ‘Did I enjoy today?’

t often takes a near death experience or the death of a loved one to shake us up and make us renew our determination to “really live.” Some people do change their ways and live with their priorities of love and fun as guiding forces, and some fall back into the old habits of work, television, and talking about the weather. An acquaintance of mine left this earth yesterday so I am in reflecting mode. Self-reflection is a good thing if we do something with it. Lorri was a one-legged cancer survivor comedian. I met her at an event a few years ago. We became email pals and sent each other encouragement from time to time. I was not aware the cancer had come back until this morning when I saw a posting on Facebook. In reading the posts, I learned that the state of Indiana recently created and dedicated its first ADA Canoe & Kayak launch to Lorri Kovitz. “Her determination to paddle highlighted the need for improved accessibility for all who wish to pursue their passions. It is our hope that this facility will inspire other ADA paddling launch sites throughout the State of Indiana and beyond.” That is fabulous. It does not take two legs to paddle or to enjoy nature’s beauty. Lorri was also known for her humor and her desire to help others facing cancer to laugh and to have fun. She once wrote “Ten Reasons It’s Great to Have Only One Leg”. She made a point to enjoy life. In the end, when we look back at our life, that is a good question: Did I enjoy it? Enjoyment is the entire journey, the daily things that make life more interesting. If you live your life for that one 2-week vacation every summer, what are the rest of the fifty weeks? Just getting by? That does not sound like a fun life.

Kelly Simmons COLUMNIST

A happy life is nothing more than a string of happy moments. To obtain the goal of a happy life, embark on a new habit of asking before you go to bed each night: Did I enjoy today? By asking yourself that question, you start to see where your daily habits could use some fine tuning. Start anywhere. Did I enjoy my breakfast? If not, what can you do to feel better with that time and food? Did I enjoy my commute to work? If not, what can you do to make the ride to work more enjoyable? Did I enjoy my work today? Did I enjoy my dinner? Did I enjoy my evening? In asking yourself these questions, you start to pinpoint all kinds of small ways you can make your life more enjoyable, day in and day out. Because that is what life is, a string of day after day after day. If you did not enjoy today, what can you do to make tomorrow different? Little things are big things. Putting your attention on what you enjoy brings more of it into your realm of experience. Maybe seeing a butterfly on your lunch break walk is an enjoyable moment. Before you hit the hay and ask “Did I enjoy today?” you will recall seeing that butterfly and it will bring a moment of peace. Moment of peace after moment of peace after moment of peace adds up to a peaceful life. If you have 51% more peace than stress, that’s all you need. And once you hit that tipping point, the odds go crazy good in your favor.

Real Estate/Business Correction: In the Business section of the Elmhurst Independent issue of October 25, 2015, there was a story about the 35th anniversary of Olympic Signs, which created the spinning record sign above the Elmhurst Portillo’s restaurant. In the photo caption, the name of the owner of Olympic Signs was given as Rob Whiteside, however the correct name is Rob Whitehead. His name is correct throughout the article, but is wrong in the caption. The Independent regrets the error.

League of Illinois Bicyclists organization changes name to Ride Illinois Statewide bicycle advocacy organization unveils a new brand

AURORA — The League of Illinois Bicyclists, a nonprofit bicycle advocacy organization, announced the rebranding of its organization to Ride Illinois at the 4th Annual Illinois Bike Summit on October 28, 2015. The organization also unveiled its new name, logo, and website, www. rideillinois.org, the same day. The rebranding reflects the growing popularity of bicycling and the organization’s commitment to reach and represent the broad spectrum of people who ride bikes in Illinois. Since 1992, the nonprofit organization has been dedicated to one mission - to improve bicycling conditions throughout the state so that more people can safely and easily ride in Illinois. Over the years, the organization has evolved from a state chapter of the League of American Bicyclists to an independent organization with a strong advocacy voice in Springfield and municipalities all around the state. In that time, its membership has increased from a few hundred people to more than 2,200 Illinois residents.

“We are committed to expanding our membership and influence even farther,” said Frank Brummer, Ride Illinois Board President. “Our organization made a bold decision to seek out a new name that would appeal to a wide audience and align them with our mission -- a name that would inspire everyone to get on a bike and Ride Illinois.” Ride Illinois’ mission remains the same, and the organization will continue to work for bike friendly roads and trails, favorable policies and legislation, and education on sharing our roads safely. Over recent years the organization has achieved a number of accomplishments at the local and state level including: 3-Foot Passing Law -Ride Illinois wrote and successfully lobbied for the passage of the 2007 state law amending the Illinois Vehicle Code by specifying a minimum 3-foot passing clearance for motorists passing bicyclists. Creating bike plans for 17 towns in Illinois including Springfield, Bloomington, Kankakee, Effingham, Buffalo Grove, and Ottawa most recently, and providing assistance in dozens more. Currently, Ride Illinois is consulting on

Carbondale’s bike planning efforts. Development of more than 40 metro area and local bike maps, longer-distance route guides, and other bicyclist resources. Providing bike safety education through our online learning tool, BikeSafetyQuiz.com, used by over 40,000 motorists and bicyclists. Offering trainings statewide for hundreds of Drivers’ Ed teachers, road planners and engineers, and law enforcement. Collaborating on the Illinois Department of Transportation’s State Bike Transportation Plan released in 2014. Leading Illinois delegation in D.C. to save federal funds for trails and bikeways, while preserving over $20 million of these funds at the state level. Coordinating the annual Grand Illinois Trail and Parks Bike Tour, Illinois’ top week-long supported ride since 2003. Co-hosting the Annual Illinois Bike Summit that attracts nearly 300 bike advocates, municipal and private sector planners and civil engineers, government officials and staff for a day of learning and networking on the positive impact of bicycling in Illinois.

IC Catholic Prep football team wins second playoff game Knights head to quarterfinals against Princeton By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — It was another resounding playoff win for the IC Catholic Prep football team. This time, the Knights took down Elmwood-Brimfield 48-7 in a second-round Class 3A playoff game at Plunkett Athletic Complex in Elmhurst. The victory moved IC Catholic Prep to 10-1 overall and sends the Knights to the Class 3A quarterfinals this weekend against unbeaten Princeton (110). Princeton is the No. 2 seed on the top half of the Class 3A bracket, while IC Catholic Prep is the No. 3 seed. The game will be played at Princeton. For exact date and time, visit the IHSA website at www.ihsa.org. The Knights have beaten

their two playoff opponents by a combined score of 93-14. The winner of the IC Catholic Prep-Princeton game moves on to the Class 3A semifinals against either No. 5 seed Byron (9-2) or No. 5 seed Kankakee Bishop McNamara (10-1). McNamara is the only team to defeat IC Catholic Prep this season—that occurred in the season opener for both teams. In IC Catholic Prep’s firstround victory over Winnebago, the Knights racked up 339 yards of total offense. Quarterback Luke Ricobene completed 14 of 19 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns. Pat Jordan caught five passes for 69 yards and two touchdowns, while Garrett Cheng caught four passes for 49 yards and a score. Jordan Rowell had five catches for 61 yards. courtesy photo Rowell also ran the ball 13 times for 102 yards and scored IC Catholic Prep sophomore QB Luke Ricobene led the Knights past the Elmwood-Brimfield

Packing it in

Racing strategy fuels York boys cross-country success this season

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ork senior boys cross-country runner Jon May said crosscountry’s simple mathematical formula for success paid off in a big way for the team this season. “Our pack running has helped us,” he said. “Every day we have seven guys training together and that makes us more consistent. We’ve been emphasizing pack running since the summer. We started with a big group of guys an made sure everybody kept training together.” And once again York’s work behind the scenes translated onto the crosscountry course. The Dukes won conference, regional and sectional titles and finished fourth in Class 3A this season. Four of York’s seven state runners this season were seniors. “We have a big group of seniors,” said May. “Over the years we have got to know each other very well. This is something we always knew we could do. We’re very

happy with what we’ve done.” Senior Max Denning added: “We have gotten to know each other over the years. I think that makes us run a lot harder because of that closeness.” Denning said a big turning point for the team this year was its first-place performance at the always competitive Palatine invitational. “When we won Palatine we realized how good we could be,” he said. “And then after we won conference we thought we had a chance to be something very good.” “Palatine turned the corner for us,” said senior Robert Tomaska. “It was our first major victory of the season and it was good to see where we were at compared to other teams that were running well. It gave us a lot of confidence going forward.” Tomaska noted the team also benefitted from having a singular goal of improving and getting ready for a peak performance at the end of the season. “We’ve always had the focus on the

end of the year,” he said. “We trust the workouts and we trust the coaches. We all have improved throughout the season.” Denning and Tomaska have been key pieces to the puzzle for the Dukes this season. “What helped me improve the most was running with people who already have been there,” said Tomaska. “I learned from them and I learned from the coaches. We have a lot of experienced people here. I like to compete and there is a great tradition of winning here. It’s nice to be part of it.” For Denning, health has played a big role in his success this season. “I’ve been trying to stay a lot healthier this season,” he said. “I haven’t been injured. The other years I was injured. I’ve been doing everything I can to stay healthy. When you stay healthy there is no interruption with your training.” May said the group also owes a lot to the coaching of veteran head coach Joe Newton. “Mr. Newton has helped us a lot,”

he said. “He’s a very legendary coach. He’s been doing it for so long. He knows how to get us ready on the day.” “He’s always there for us,” Denning said of Newton. “He knows so much. We’re lucky to have him. You can ask the guy almost anything and he has an answer.” Tomaska said trust plays a big part in the team’s relationship with Newton. “We trust him because he knows how to get us ready for the meets,” he said. “He has helped us improve in so many ways this season.” May used to watch older brother, Chris, run in the program and couldn’t wait for his turn. “It’s been amazing here,” he said. “With my brother I was watching it from the outside. Now being part of it, there is nothing like it.” Denning added: “When I first learned about York and found out that it is a running school and has so much history, I wanted to be part of that history.” And this year’s York group added another action-packed chapter to that storied York boys cross-country history.

Leading the way

Senior Jose Rodriguez has been an integral part of the IC Catholic Prep football team’s success this season

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

C Catholic Prep senior linebacker Jose Rodriguez is all about the team. When asked what he’s improved on the most as a linebacker, Rodriguez cut right to the chase as to why the Knights have been so successful this season. “I just do my job,” he said. “I don’t want to let down my teammates. That’s why we are successful. We all do our jobs.” Rodriguez said in addition to performing the tasks at hand, the Knights also benefit from great team chemistry. “We’re a close team,” he said. “We worked hard all summer together. We’re a lot tighter now and everybody gets

“I like the contact, that’s my favorite part,” he said. IC Catholic Prep has been particularly stingy on the defensive front this season, something Rodriguez traces back to that same job performance concept. “We all do our jobs,” he said. “We all trust each other and trust that each guy will do their job. Trust is — Jose Rodriquez very important.” After a 4-5 season in 2014, along. We are a lot closer and Rodriguez noted the Knights that definitely makes a differ- had one main goal on their ence.

Timothy Christian girls volleyball team headed to state finals York girls volleyball team advances to sectional final By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — It’s been quite the fall for Timothy Christian sports programs. The Trojans’ boys soccer team recently won the Class 1A state championship and now Timothy’s girls volleyball team will have an opportunity to bring home its own state crown. The Trojans defeated Watseka 25-17, 23-25, 25-12 to win the Class 2A Beecher supersectional title. The win gives Timothy its first-ever berth in the Class 2A state finals. The Trojans (364) play in the state semifinals Friday at approximately 1:30 p.m. at Redbird Arena on the campus of Illinois State University in Normal against either Williamsville or Bloomington Central Catholic. Timothy reached the supersectional round by winning the Class 2A Guerin Prep sectional title in River Grove. Timothy downed Westmont 25-20, 25-19 to win the school’s second sectional title (first came in 2011). Dani Van Laten led the Trojans with 16 assists, four kills, four aces and

10 digs. Kendra Teune had nine kills and five digs. Ava Venema added six kills, while Tracy Westra had six assists and five digs. Zoe Stanton added eight digs. In the sectional semifinals Timothy edged Chicago Latin School 16-25, 25-18, 27-25. Van Laten had 21 assists, four blocks and 12 digs. Venema added six kills and three blocks. Teune had 11 kills. Olivia Hoekstra had four kills and six digs. Westra had three assists and 12 digs. Stanton finished with eight digs, while Rachel Stoll had six digs. York girls volleyball The York girls volleyball team dropped a 20-25, 25-22, 25-23 contest to Glenbard West in the championship match of the Class 4A Riverside-Brookfield sectional. York shared the West Suburban Conference Silver Division title with Glenbard West this season. The Dukes had defeated Glenbard West in the regular-season meeting. The Dukes reached the sectional final after scoring a 25-20, 25-20 win over Chicago Whitney Young. Glenbard West went on to Loyola Academy to win the Class 4A York supersectional and earn a spot in this weekend’s state finals in Normal. York finished its season with a 32-7 record, which includ-

ed a share of the conference title and the program’s seventh regional title since 2007.

He had three punt returns for 104 yards. He had 267 all-purpose yards. On defense, Anthony Silva led the way with 10 tackles. Jim Kenneally, Kemon Reese and Jose Rodriguez each had nine tackles. Pat Guinan had one interception, while Matt Sutton and Kenneally each had one fumble recovery. Sam Buffo made six extra points and one field goal. After 10 games, Ricobene had passed for 1,810 yards and 19 touchdowns. Rowell was the team’s leading rusher with 1,184 yards on 137 carries and 19 touchdowns. He was averaging 8.6 yards per carry. Jordan was the team’s leading receiver with 35 catches for 480 yards and seven touchdowns. Kenneally was tops on defense with 89 tackles, 16 quarterback sacks (totaling 137 yards in losses) and four fumble recoveries. Sutton was the team leader in interceptions with four.

His family is no stranger to IC Catholic Prep football. His brother, Carlos, was part of the 2008 Knights team that won a state title. “Football runs in the family,” he said. “It’s always something we’ve done. I’ve always been around the school. I remember when I was younger and watching them on their playoff run. It was awesome and it was something I looked forward to. It was a goal I hoped to reach.” Rodriguez, who also plays baseball at IC Catholic Prep and enjoys weightlifting in his spare time, is one of the team’s

captains this season. “I like being a leader,” he said. “I’m not the type of guy that talks. I’m more about setting an example through my actions.” Rodriguez is appreciative of the support the team has received from the school, administration and community. “It pumps us up,” he said. “All the fans being around and cheering us on, gets us fired up. We enjoy it. This has been a fun season. With all the guys on the team being so close, it makes it even better. We enjoy being with each other. It’s a brotherhood here.”

Week 12 Preview IC Catholic Prep (10-1) at Princeton (11-0) What: Quarterfinal game in the Class 3A state football playoffs. When: Friday or Saturday. Check IHSA website (www.ihsa.org) for exact date and time. Where: Princeton High School Seeds: IC Catholic Prep is the No. 3 seed on the top half of the Class 3A bracket. Princeton is the No. 2 seed. Last week: IC Catholic Prep 48, Elmwood-Brimfield 7; Princeton 43, Chicago Raby 8

Up next: The winner faces the winner of Byron (9-2, No. 8 seed) at Bishop McNamara (10-1, No. 5 seed) in the state semifinals. Outlook: The Knights have won their first two playoff games by a combined score of 93-14 (both games at home). Now, the Knights head to western Illinois to take on an unbeaten Princeton team that won its first two playoff games by scores of 43-8 and 41-7. Princeton is a member of the Three Rivers Conference Mississippi Division where it won the conference title with a 6-0 record. Princeton, 3-6 a year ago, played only two teams with winning records during the regular season. It won those two games by a combined 28-7 score. The other seven games against teams with losing records Princeton won by a combined score of 26055. Princeton co-ops with tiny Ohio High School (enrollment 34). Through 10 games, IC Catholic Prep caused 34 turnovers and had committed only 14 turnovers of its own, an impressive plus-20 statistic. The winner of this game heads to the semifinals to face either Byron or Kankakee Bishop McNamara. Bishop Mac is the only team to defeat IC Catholic Prep this season (in Week 1). If IC Catholic Prep wins against Princeton and Byron wins against McNamara, the semifinal game would be at Byron. If IC Catholic Prep wins and McNamara wins in the quarterfinal, the game will be at IC Catholic Prep based on a third IHSA hosting tiebreaker. IHSA rules state the semifinal host is determined first by the team hosting the fewest games (both teams will have hosted two games through the quarterfinals), the second tiebreaker is overall record (both teams would be 11-1) and the third tiebreaker is tiebreaker (playoff) points (IC Catholic Prep holds a 42-38 edge there).

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

C Catholic Prep recently welcomed its 2002 statechampionship football team into the ICCP Hall of Fame. In a late October ceremony, 22 players and coaches were on hand as the team was honored during halftime of an IC Catholic Prep football game at Plunkett Athletic Complex. The newest inductees along with their families enjoyed a post game athletic Hall of Fame reception after the game. The 2002 team finished with a 13-1 record and went 8-1 in Suburban Catholic Conference play. The Knights defeated Walther Lutheran 45-0 at home in the first round of the playoffs and then scored a 35-14 win over Stillman Valley. The Knights downed LenaWinslow 27-8 on the road in the quarterfinals and then downed Wilmington 26-15 on the road in the state semifinals. In the championship game in Champaign, the Knights trailed DuQuoin by 14 points in the first quarter. However, the Knights rallied to score 21 unanswered points to win the program’s first state title. The Knights’ starting defense held opponents scoreless for the

Offensive force A

lexandra Preuss’ volleyball career started thanks to a bet. “Amaya (York senior defensive specialist Diaz) and I made a bet and if I lost I had to try out with her for the Sandburg Middle School team,” she said. “I lost the bet and ended up trying out and made it. When I first started it was embarrassing. Now looking back it was all because of Amaya. She made me do it.” These days, Preuss is a far cry from her beginning middle-school days. She’s turned into an offensive force that led the York girls volleyball team in kills each of the past two seasons and helped the Dukes share the West Suburban Conference Silver Division title and reach the sectional final this season. Preuss’ prowess on the court also has paid dividends for her future. She’s committed to continue her career next fall at Division II Lewis University in Romeoville.

Alexandra Preuss enjoys another stellar season for the York girls volleyball team

“Lewis’ coach is absolutely amazing,” said Preuss who noted she would like to study nursing or psychology. “She gave me time to make my decision and told me to go visit other schools before deciding. It’s an amazing school and I met the girls on the team and they are very nice. They have a good nursing program there. When I was looking into nursing, playing Division I volleyball and pursuing nursing would have been a challenge, that’s why I chose Lewis.” On the court this season, Preuss bested her 2014 kill total of 466 and is part of the 1,000 career kill club at York. “My goal was to beat last year’s kill total, but personally I’ve worked a lot on getting better at blocking this season,” she said. Even though Preuss put up big kill numbers again this season, she had plenty of help around her. “Our middles Sydney Bonthron and Christie Paus stepped up and

Steph Reinke on the right side has really helped out,” said Preuss. “If I’m having a hard time hitting, I know there are others who can put the ball away and know where to put the ball away.” Preuss, who has been on the honor roll every semester at York, said familiarity with one another played a big role this season. “We have seven or eight seniors and all of us have played together for a while either in high school or in club,” she said. “A lot of us play for 1st Alliance (club team) in the offseason. So a lot of us have been practicing and playing together for a long time. And the coaches we’ve had have been amazing.” Preuss also remembers the first time she attended a York volleyball game as a fan with Diaz. “I was so bored out of my mind watching it with Amaya,” she said with a laugh. “There is a picture in the training room of Caroline Rose (older sister of current York setter Sarah

Rose) attacking and I’m sitting in the background in the sands with my hands on my knees and not enjoying it.” Little did Preuss know she’d soon end up being a star in the York program. “Freshman year I’m sitting with Mrs. Iverson (York coach Patty) and I found out I made the varsity,” she said. “That reminded me of that photo of Caroline Rose, who did some great things at York. It’s been amazing here. Mrs. Iverson is an amazing coach. Freshman year I was super-dooper scared and nervous. I had only been in the sport for a year-and-a-half and then I’m on the varsity. I found a sport that I was excited to be part of. It’s been amazing growing up here as a player, teammate and a leader.” This season has especially been memorable for Preuss. “I love this team,” she said. “We are so close. It’s an amazing team.” With an amazing player helping lead the charge.

Moving ahead Y

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ork running standout Charlie Kern Jr., pointed to one major difference between his debut cross-country season last year and his sophomore campaign this fall. “I’m running the varsity workouts this season,” he said earlier last week. “Last year I was running the freshman workouts early on in the season. It was kind of a shock. Last year I was doing two-mile repeats and this year it’s up to five. It’s been a different year training-wise and race-wise.” Kern Jr.’s sophomore campaign has been impressive. He finished fourth at the West Suburban Conference Silver Division meet and took first at regionals and sectionals, and second at the recent Class 3A state finals meet in Peoria at Detweiller Park. Kern Jr. was eighth in the state as a freshman last year.

“Last year I didn’t feel as much pressure as I do this year,” he said. “It was my first time around last year. I was excited to see what I could do. This year the expectations I have for myself are higher. I’ve been focusing on what I can do and how I can be the best I can be—everything else will fall into place if I do that.” Kern Jr. said he enjoys racing against the area and state’s best runners. “I enjoy the challenge of it,” he said. Kern Jr. also has enjoyed the teachings of legendary York coach Joe Newton. “He’s always giving us encouraging words and inspirational stories,” he said. “He knows how to lighten the mood and get us prepared for our workouts. He’s really an inspiration to all of us. He’s awesome. We totally trust him and he’s made us so successful. He has that tradition of winning. We’re fortunate to have him

York sophomore Charlie Kern Jr. takes his running up another notch this fall around here.” Kern Jr. also benefits from the coaching of his father, York assistant coach and head boys track coach Charlie Kern Sr. “It’s a little weird with dad in practice, but he contributes so much to the team,” Kern Jr. said. “This is his second year back as coach. He runs the workouts with the top guys. He’s one of the ones who has been building this pack mentality we have during workouts and races.” Kern Jr. also lauded the help he’s received from the last two York senior classes. “I’m going to miss the seniors just like last year,” he said. “They have helped me a ton. Last year I would get super nervous before races. It was the first time I was running in big meets. They would calm me down and tell me everything would be alright. They’ve helped me again

through this year. We started talking to each other during races and that has helped keep the pack together as long as possible. The seniors have been a huge help.” And Kern Jr., to say the least, is looking forward to two more years in the York program. “I’m really blessed to attend this school and run in this program,” he said. “I’m lucky I have two more years left. I love the competitiveness here. We all have the same lofty dreams and we’re all willing to work hard to achieve them.” Quite a run A look at York sophomore Charlie Kern Jr.’s 2015 postseason.

ELMHURST — IC Catholic Prep Knights Theatre Productions is proud to present Just Another High School Play. When the high school drama teacher abandons her actors because no one shows up to rehearsals, the students are forced to fend for themselves.

The ensuing chaos is full of physical comedy, wit, and satire. In a hysterically funny playwithin-a-play, Just Another High School Play incorporates scenes of plays from Romeo and Juliet, A Christmas Carol, and Our Town with an abundance of slapstick humor, improvisation, and audience interaction. Don’t miss this unforgettable production that is sure to keep you laughing long after you leave the theatre. The cast includes: Vince Cerasuolo, Nicollette Chilson, Jennifer Cook, Anthony Guerra, Samantha Hillebrand, Alister McGrath, Christa Prado, Abraham Salazar, Nicholas Slowinski, Gabriela Smola, and Kayla Wilson. Mrs. Julia Jazwiec will direct and provide set design for the production. Taylor Dorband, ICCP Class of 2015, will serves as Assistant Director. Performances will be held in Monsignor Plunkett Hall (lower level of IC Chapel) located at 130 Arthur Street in Elmhurst. Ticket prices are $12 for adults, $10 for senior citizens and high school students and children. Performance times are Friday, November 13 at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, November 14 at 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, November 15 at 2 p.m. For more information, visit iccatholicprep.org.

GMTT opens Communicating Doors on Nov. 13 New show features time travel plot line

ELMHURST — GreenMan Theatre will present Communicating Doors by Alan Ayckbourn, opening Nov. 13 and running for three weekends until Nov. 29. All performances are held in Asbury Hall at First United Methodist Church at 232 S. York in Elmhurst. Friday & Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees begin at 2 p.m. Tickets are $17 for adults and $15 for students/ seniors. Free parking is available. Director Richard Bucchi has been a long-standing fan

of this interesting, exciting, and immersive play. Before embarking on this new journey of directing the play, he had already formed an interest in the script and storyline. “I first became interested in Communicating Doors when I read it over 20 years ago as a possible show for another community theatre,” he stated. “We couldn’t get the rights to do it back then, but I’ve never forgotten wonderfully written characters, the compelling story-telling, and the quirky way the script combines elements of the thriller and comedy genres. When it came up in conversation as a possibility for GreenMan’s season, I was very excited.” Due to popular television

shows such as Doctor Who and movies such as Back to the Future, time travel has been a huge part of popular culture and the media for some time now. “Time travel is such a great device for exploring situations from different perspectives,” Bucchi said. “If something happened a certain way in the past, does that mean it was destined that way, or would it be changeable if we could go back in time? I think the audience is going to get caught up in the story we will tell, and I think they are really going to enjoy getting to know the characters who tell the story.” This intricate time traveling comic thriller by the British master of farcical comedy

delighted London and New York audiences. A London sex specialist from the future stumbles into a murder plot that sends her, compliments of a unique set of hotel doors, traveling back in time. She and two women who were murdered in 1998 and 2015 race back and forth in time trying to rewrite history and prevent their own violent ends. This energetic thriller, tinged with a comic sensibility, will have you on the edge of your seat while it asks the questions, “If you could walk through a door and change history, would you? Should you?” For tickets and information, visit greenmantheatre.com or call 630-464-2646.

Doc Severinsen to give Master Class at Elmhurst College

Former Tonight Show bandleader to discuss career, perform with Jazz Band

ELMHURST — Legendary trumpet player and former Tonight Show bandleader Doc Severinsen will visit Elmhurst College later this month for a master class, during which he will talk about his career and life and perform

with the award-winning Elmhurst College Jazz Band. The 60-minute master class will take place on Thursday, November 19 at 11:30 a.m. in Hammerschmidt Memorial Chapel on the campus of Elmhurst College. From 1962 to 1992, Doc Severinsen led the NBC Orchestra on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, making it the most visible big band in America. Since the final telecast, Severinsen has

continued to perform. He appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show in February, when the show traveled to Los Angeles for a week. He played for the evening with the Roots, and the appearance helped to promote the 87-year-old’s 2015 nationwide tour with his band. This event is free and open to the public.
