Fire Department to fill three long-time vacancies By Dan McLeister FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Three firefighter vacancies will be filled in the coming fiscal year and the department will be at full strength in 2017, Mayor Steve Morley indicated at a Committee of the Whole meeting on November 7. “It is a necessary thing to do,” he said. “It will decrease overtime.” Testing will be done for people on the eligibility list. Three people could be added at the end of the first quarter of 2017, the Mayor said. “I am extremely disappointed that this was not done last year,” Alderman Mark Mulliner (7th Ward) stated. “The money spent on overtime is about the same amount that it would have cost to hire three firefighters.” Periodically in the last year or so, people have commented at City Council meetings about the need to fill the three vacancies. On another matter, Ald. Chris Healy (5th Ward), chairman of the Public Affairs and Safety (PAS) Committee, pointed out that “medical calls have [increased] greatly.” “Are we staffed properly?” he asked. “Maybe we need a third ambulance.” The alderman noted that Superior Ambulance has been “tremendous.” “Our ambulances provide great value,” Healy said. “That has never been in question. We really appreciate what has been done.” He pointed out that 60 percent of calls come from outside Elmhurst. The City has a mutual aid agreement

with other municipalities. “It is the nature of the medical response system.” Fire Chief Thomas Freeman, who has been on the job for about

a month, commented that medical calls continue to outpace fire calls. He said he would have to do more research. “I am looking to Elmhurst Hos-

pital about the frequency of calls and to see where the volume is and where the peak demand is,” Freeman said. “We have not come to a conclusion yet.”

Morley said this item would be put on the “Circle Back List” to be discussed by aldermen at a later date after discussion of other budget items is complete.

Knights run away with another playoff victory; get a step closer to State Rowell, Ricobene each run for 200 yards in quarterfinal football win By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The IC Catholic Prep football team’s march to a state-championship game continues. The Knights ran their record to a perfect 12-0 after a 48-14 victory over Wilmington in the Class 3A state quarterfinals held at Lewis Stadium at Plunkett Athletic Complex in Elmhurst. IC Catholic Prep, the top seed in the top half of the Class 3A bracket, heads to the state semifinals for the second year in a row. The Knights

will hit the road for the first time in the playoffs when they face No. 6 seed Monticello in a game likely to be held on Saturday in Monticello. In the game against Wilmington, IC Catholic Prep got things done on the ground and then some. The Knights ran for a whopping 499 yards on only 35 carries (14.3 yards per carry). Jordan Rowell ran the ball 15 times for 208 yards and scored two touchdowns. He had a long run of 70 yards. Equally impressive was the out-

ing for quarterback Luke Ricobene, who ran only eight times and gained 200 yards (25 yards per carry). He had a 64-yard long run and also scored two touchdowns. Lazerick Eatman ran seven times for 54 yards. And for good measure, Ricobene completed six passes for 146 yards and threw two other touchdowns. Matt Sutton caught two passes for 87 yards and a touchdown, while sophomore Khali Sanders had one catch for a 42-yard touchdown. On defense, Chris Johnson had

18 tackles. Kemon Reese had 13 tackles, while Jordan had 10 tackles. Khalil Sanders had nine tackles. Matt Jordan had one pass deflection and Khalil Saunders had a fumble recovery. Khalil Saunders had a two-point conversion and Sam Buffo kicked four extra points and also booted a pair of field goals, including a 40-yarder. IC Catholic Prep’s semifinal opponent Monticello reached the final four in Class 3A after upsetting No. 2 seed Farmington 48-17.

The winner of the semifinal game will face either No. 4 Carlinville (11-1) or No. 3 Virden North Mac (11-1) on Friday, Nov. 25 for the Class 3A state title in Champaign at Memorial Stadium on the campus of the University of Illinois. See photos and game preview in sports.

Plans for this year’s Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning are in full swing and coming together for the step-off of the 33rd annual event on Thursday, Nov. 24 at 9 a.m. The race starts at Park & Cottage Hill Avenues in Elmhurst. The Independent caught up with Gibbons recently to see if he had any last minute news or messages to those who are planning to come out and run or walk. “The best thing to do right now is to go to the web site [dangibbonsturkeytrot.com], if you haven’t registered,” he said. “We’re still taking online registration through Saturday, Nov. 19. So I suggest going to the web site and register for the $35 fee, then come out to the Knights of Columbus on Saturday afternoon to pick up your registration packet. “It’s less hectic to [register] in advance plus, the fee [on the day of the event] is $40.” This year’s Honorary Starter will be Kevin Calkins, an Elmhurst resident who is a veteran of the U.S. Army and served during the Vietnam War. Calkins was instrumental in collecting more than $10,000 in funds to upgrade and update the Elmhurst Vietnam War Memorial. The Honor Guard couple for 2016 is a husband and wife team – Captains Cari and Chris Piha of the U.S. Air Force. Cari is a C-17 pilot; Chris is a Maintenance Officer. Before the starting gun, the Men of Spirito! will be on hand to perform a patriotic medley of songs, while the Lima Lima team flyover takes place, weather permitting. If you’re out and about early that morning, be sure to watch for the trolleys and the doubledecker bus, which will be shuttling runners to and from remote parking areas to the front door of the Elmhurst College Gym at 221 Walter St., where day-of registration will be held. Registration for the Turkey Trot is $35 in advance, $40 on the day of the event. The best thing

Half the fun of coming out to the Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot is to see all the people who come out in costume to participate. Pictured here at the 2015 Turkey Trot are close friends Ally Wolfe, Abbey Ward and Jennifer Biggins, who made sure they were properly “dressed” for the occasion. The Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot takes place Thanksgiving morning, November 24 promptly at 9 a.m. from Park and Cottage Hill Avenues.

to do is visit dangibbonsturkeytrot.com for registration information and other details. Asked how he felt about it being the 33rd year, Gibbons quipped, “Yes, I started this race when I was 12.” Well, maybe not, but no one can deny that the event has grown and grown every single year. “This year we expect 8- to 9,000 people,” he said. “The youngest registrant is 2, the oldest is 85. People are coming from four countries (Ire-

land, Canada, Mexico and the US), 23 states and 103 counties within the state of Illinois.” Most of all, Gibbons is grateful for everyone’s support now and for the past 33 years. In a County where 60,000 people daily are at-risk of going to bed hungry -- 20,000 of whom are children – the Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot is one way you can help the fight.

Election night serves up victories, disappointments, much relief that it’s over Cullerton defeats Lewis in nail-biter; Conroy stomps Holan

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE INDEPENDENT

Tuesday evening was filled with surprises, groans and triumphs until the biggest collective gasp of all – the one that came at 1:30 a.m. when the Associated Press and other media outlets officially declared that Republican nominee Donald Trump would become the 45th President of the United States. Throughout Election night, local results trickled in and anxieties were high, compounded by the fact that the DuPage Election Commission had difficulty posting the results right away, a problem that seems to plague them at virtually every election. At 7 p.m. when the polls closed, the web site said no results would be posted until 7:30 p.m., but the earliest posting came in after 9 p.m. Candidates were left waiting in frustration to learn their respective fates.

Election Commission: new software a disappointment Later in the week, the Independent learned that the DuPage County Election Commission officials had been excited to roll out their brand new computer software system to expedite returns and provide results more quickly Instead the site contained only error messages and indications that results would be available at any minute… still it took more than two hours. According to Robert Saar, executive director of the Election Commission, the servers were “stressed by a combination of factors,” including an unexpected update that consumed much of the server’s processing space. There was also a link directly to ABC 7 News that was supposed to allow the TV station to receive election results right from the commission’s servers. Apparent-

ly, that link not only failed but also made the whole system slow down.

namoorthi handily beat Elmhurst resident Pete DiCianni (R) 141,138 to 101,893 (58.1% to 41.9%). It was a hand-wringer to the bitter end for Villa Park resident Tom Cullerton, but in the end, he squeaked past challenger Seth Lewis and won his second term of office in Illinois Senate District 23 by a vote of 42,731 (50.83%) to 41,342 (49.1%). Incumbent Deb Conroy won a staggering victory over Heidi Holan 23,161 to 16,192, garnering 58.85% of the vote. In other area races, Republican incumbent Peter Breen beat challenger Steve Swanson 30,618 (56.65%) to 23,433 (43.35%) in Illinois State House Dist. 48. In Illinois House Dist. 77, Democrat Kathleen Willis held her seat for another term, beating Republican challenger Anthony Airdo 8,271 (63.34%) to 4,787 (36.66%). Here are the results in the County

Duckworth garners an early win One of the earliest elections to be called on Nov. 8 was the race for U.S. Senate which brought victory to Democrat Tammy Duckworth over incumbent U.S. Senator Mark Kirk (R). She obtained 2,908,363 votes to his 2,150,099, garnering 54.4% of the total. [Note: These numbers have been updated since Election night, but were still unofficial as of press time..] In the 5th Congressional District, Democrat Mike Quigley easily won another term with almost 70% of the vote over his Republican challenger Vince Kolber. The vote was 201,983 to 82,931. In the contest for the seat vacated by Tammy Duckworth in the 8th Congressional District, Raja Krish-

Board Races: Dist. 1, 2-year term: Sam Tornatore (R) beat Richard Accomando (D) 32,573 (56.13%) to 25,454 (43.87%) Dist. 1, 4-year term: Donald Puchalski (R) bested Roland Waller (D) 32,314 (55.68%) to 25,716 (44.32%) Dist. 2, 2-year term: Richard F. Blass (R) squeaked past incumbent Elizabeth Chaplin (D) 36,515 (50.08%) to 36,405 (49.92%), by just 110 votes. Dist. 2, 4-year term: Elmhurst resident Sean Noonan, the Republican incumbent, ran unopposed and received 56,789 votes. Readers should be reminded that these results are unofficial. These numbers are updates from the Independent’s report that appeared on the web site after Election night, but they are still unofficial, according to varous election commissions.

Elmhurst Extended Care proposes expansion plan

About 70 residents attend Zoning Commission’s public hearing

Elmhurst Extended Care’s (EEC) proposed expansion drew about seventy residents to a Zoning and Planning Commission (ZPC] public hearing on November 10 at City Hall. Almost filling Council Chambers, the audience was one of the largest in recent memory for a ZPC meeting. Residents did not have time to express their views because the applicant’s presentation lasted from about 8:30 p.m. until a few minutes before 10 p.m., which is the stated ending time for a ZPC meeting. The hearing was continued to December 8. Testimony was given by an attorney, an architect, a landscape architect, an engineer and a traffic consultant. After a presentation about the history of the site, ZPC member Lisa Callaway said Scott Day, the attorney, was “a zoning nerd.” “I admit I am a zoning geek,” Day replied. One resident in the audience had a “Say No To EEC “sign. Other signs were put up in the neighborhood. Another zoning case was discussed before 8:30 p.m. A ZPC rule states that the length of a meeting, which starts at 7 p.m., is three hours unless there is a majority vote by the Commission to extend the meeting. Darrell Whistler, chairman of the ZPC, mentioned the end time at the beginning of the testimony by EEC representatives. Commissioner Frank Mushow moved to extend the meeting until midnight, but the motion failed for lack of a second.

During the public forum portion of the City Council meeting on November 7, a resident said he was opposed to the expansion for many reasons including density, traffic problems and flooding issues. He predicted that property values would drastically decrease. This could happen anywhere in Elmhurst, he said. “It sets a dangerous precedent to set business interests ahead of residents’ interests.” The company’s request is for a Map Amendment, Conditional Use, Associated Variations (if required) and subdivision for expanding the EEC facility at 200 E. Lake Street onto portions of 193 and 197 E. Fremont Ave. The two parcels on Fremont were previously occupied by single-family residences which were subsequently demolished in 2013 (197 E. Fremont) and 2015 (193 E. Fremont). The lots are immediately south of 200 E. Lake Street. The site is on the north side of Fremont Ave. frontage west of York Street. The site is zoned C2 Community Shopping and Service and R2 Single Family Residential. The surrounding land uses and zoning are: North—Interstate 290, then R1 and R2 Single Family residential; South—R2 Single Family Residential; East—R2 Single Family Residential and R4 beyond; West—R2 Single Family Residential and R4 beyond. Than Werner, planning and zoning administrator for the City, noted that the 2009 Elmhurst Comprehensive Plan “does not discuss the area in

any detail.” “However, the Future Land Use Map shows the property located at 200 E. Lake St. as Institutional and the properties along the north side of Freemont Ave. as Single Family Residential,” he said.

Love Dave, the owner and admin- drainage swales and an underground istrator for EEC, said the facility has vault with 14,000 cubic feet of stor108 beds. He is seeking to increase age or 100,000 gallons. the total by 11 beds so that there can be more private rooms in the facility designed to look like townhouses. Construction details include FOCUS ON

“C” IS FOR CATARACT

Cataract, which is clouding of the eye lens, affects more than half of Americans aged 65 years and older. This age-related cause of vision loss can occur much earlier due to exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays and a host of other causes (including smoking, use of corticosteroids, and a family history). It is also thought that cataract formation is linked to oxidative changes in the human eye lens, which makes the case for consuming fruits and vegetables containing high amounts of antioxidants. In fact, recent research involving 324 pairs of twins over a decade shows that there was a 33 percent lower risk of developing cataracts among women whose diets were rich in foods containing vitamin C. The symptoms of early cataract may be improved with new eyeglasses, brighter lighting, anti-glare sunglasses, or magnifying lenses. At SKOWRON EYE CARE, we have the technology to actually photograph and/ or videotape your cataract. We review your case together to determine what the best possible course of action should be. Sometimes having cataract surgery is not the best way to improve your vision. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision.

• Nearly $28 million storm water loans authorized The City Council has authorized almost $28 million in loans from the Illinois Environmental Protections Agency (IEPA) to fund storm water capital improvement projects. The Finance, Council Affairs and Administrative Services Committee had recommended the authorization. City staff noted that due to the length of time required to complete all the anticipated capital projects, multiple loans, not to exceed $27,971,000, may be processed based on the project schedules and input from the IEPA. It was also noted that the terms of the loans will not exceed twenty years and based on the current interest environment the loan rates will be approximately 2%. • Preferred Metra Station alternative The City Council has approved the report of the Public Affairs and Safety (PAS) Committee that the proposed concept, which includes the construction of a new station, a new pedestrian tunnel and minor improvements to the existing tunnel, be selected as

the preferred alternative to be shared with the public for comment and for the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) grant application. A second public hearing has been scheduled at City Hall for Wednesday, Nov. 30. This meeting will provide the opportunity for public comment on the proposed concept. This concept will also be shared with the Union Pacific Railroad and Metra for review and comment. CDM Smith, a consultant previously held a public meeting. The Elmhurst Metra station improvements are estimated to cost between $12- and $16-million. The final project will be dependent on securing grant funding, the City said. • Mayor comments about District 205 After Elmhurst School District 205 rejected a City offer for land at the Bryan Middle School, Mayor Steve Morley said at a City Council meeting on November 7th that he “would keep channels open.” He noted that residents’ money and land are involved. City officials contend that there should be a storm mitigation site in the York High School area. City Manager Jim Grabowski said he had not seen any storm water mitigation information about York from School District 205.

Morning-after musings after a late election night It was interesting to watch mouths drop open in disbelief as more and more states brought in the vote for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton on Tuesday evening, Nov. 8. As newspaper reporters, the Independent visited both the Democrat and Republican local camps, where most of the focus was on the area races, with the occasional intermittent nod to the national election scene. Once all the local races were called, at least unofficially, people finished their beers, shook hands, slapped backs and said goodnight. Over the next few hours, every television station was locked on the presidential race, which ran neck-and-neck right down to the wire. It was just after midnight when speculation began that Trump would likely win the state of Pennsylvania and with that, enough electoral votes to win the top spot in the country. Sure enough, about 1:30 a.m., the Associated Press (AP) first an-

Under my father’s fedora... Dee Longfellow

Editor nounced that Trump was the victor over Hillary Clinton and other major media outlets soon followed – you know, those media outlets Trump hates so much? Dare anyone ask if he really won, or was the election rigged? I guess the election, much like polling, is not rigged if it’s in his favor. Just 34 minutes later, a news release from CNN had the following headline: “Global markets tank as U.S. election results shock in-

vestors; As Donald Trump made a stunning advance toward the White House, investors around the world reacted with shock.” Sure, it was CNN, but shortly after, other news outlets were posting reports like, “Dow futures nosedive,” “Global markets in panic mode,” “Dow plunges 800 points.” Now for the better news… is there hope? Not long after the official announcement, The Donald took the podium at his headquarters and spoke to the nation for the first time as President-elect. It was a struggle to force myself to listen but after 10 minutes or so, I had to admit he came off very well. Trump actually acted more presidential in that speech than he ever has throughout the entire campaign. He was gracious to Hillary Clinton who had called to concede, he praised her for putting up a tough fight and running a good campaign. He acknowledged that she and her 256748

supporters had worked very very hard.  Then he talked about the first thing at the top of this list: bringing the country together and beginning to heal. Without admitting any of it was his fault, Trump acknowledged that the nation had come through a tough time and was very divided in many ways over many issues, but that it was time to return to the table and work together as a country united; as the most powerful country in the world, which it is. Let’s just hope it stays that way. A suggestion for mothers of daughters I spoke with my favorite niece, whose 8-year-old daughter was long-asleep when the results came in. She was so shocked and surprised, she didn’t know how to explain it to her child. Here’s a suggestion to mothers AND for that matter, fathers -- of duaghters, heck, of sons, of anyone -- for grandmothers, aunts, anyone who is concerned about their child,

especially a female child, growing up in the world of Donald Trump. Why not sit down right now and write a letter to your child’s 20-year-old self and explain that Donald Trump has just won the White House. Share your hopes and fears for yourself, for her, for the nation, for the future of the world. Then tuck it away in the lockbox or somewhere safe and show it to her (or him) in 20 years or so. It’s something your child will cherish forever. And who knows, maybe there won’t be drastic changes with Trump in office, but in case there is, your letter would serve as a nice piece of history. Don’t forget to put the date you write including the year; your name and age; the child’s name and age; and a little bit about the current day, such as where you’re working or what you’re doing to spend your life in a productive fashion. And how that might be threatened by a Trump presidency -- if that is your fear.

History Museum to host St. Nicholas Concert On Friday, Dec. 2 from 7-8:15 p.m., the Elmhurst History Museum presents a Jolly Old St. Nicholas Concert at Yorkfield Presbyterian Church, 1099 S. York St., Elmhurst.

The Elmhurst History Museum invites the public to celebrate this tradition and Elmhurst’s German roots with a concert of German carols and a performance by Jolly Old St. Nick. Now in its 80th year, Elmhurst’s

own Damenchor (Women’s Chorus) and Männerchor (Men’s Chorus) will perform German carols that the audience can join in singing. St. Nicholas himself, brought to life by first-person history performer Terry Lynch, will join the festivities to explain the celebration and take pictures with the kids. Hot cocoa and sweet treats will be provided. Children are encouraged to wear their pajamas! All ages welcome, reservations are required. For reservations, visit elmhursthistory.org and click on the Special Events section. For more information, call 630-833-1457 or visit elmhursthistory.org.

Northwestern Mutual earns Childhood Cancer Impact Award With honor, Foundation donates $25,000 to Ronald McDonald charities By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

A combination of volunteerism, fundraising, brand and cause awareness led to Northwestern Mutual – Chicago being recognized by the Northwestern Mutual Foundation with the 2016 Childhood Cancer Impact Award for the Central region. In honor of the recognition, the Northwestern Mutual Foundation is donating $25,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana. “We are honored to receive this recognition, but more important, is the impact this grant will have in supporting the Ronald McDonald House,” said Corey D. McQuade, Managing Partner, who is an Elmhurst resident. “We have been a

partner with the house providing meals for families and engaging our internship team with a day of service painting and providing handyman services. Now, this grant will go a far way in providing the financial support to ensure a ‘home away from home’ that keeps families together while their child is in the hospital.” Every night, 153 families are able to heal together because of the comfort, compassion and community found at each of the Ronald McDonald Houses®. The Houses allow families to eat, sleep and find the emotional support they need just blocks from where their child is being treated. This year, the organization will provide more than 43,000 nights to families during their greatest hours of need. While they suggest a donation of $10 per night, no family is ever turned away if they are unable to pay. The Northwestern Mutual – Chicago childhood cancer program was created in 2014 to increase awareness and funding for childhood cancer research and to provide support to families affected by the disease.

Orthodontic U P DAT E

by Jeffrey T. Boland Licensed Orthodontic Specialist

CONGENITALLY MISSING TEETH

When teeth are missing as a result of failing to develop at birth, it is referred to as “hypodontia.” The most common by Jeffrey T. teeth Boland congenitally missing are the Licensed Orthodontic Specialist wisdom teeth (25%-35%), followed by the second premolars (3%) and the permanent upper lateral incisors (2%). The problem that this condition poses is that it removes a tooth from the dental arch that would normally serve to keep adjacent teeth in their proper places. For instance, when the upper lateral incisors are missing, the canine (cuspid or “eye”) teeth are apt to move toward the central incisors to fill the gap. Orthodontic treatment involves moving the teeth in the upper jaw into their correct positions, followed by replacing the missing lateral incisor artificially. To schedule a free orthodontic consultation, please call our office. We offer comprehensive orthodontics for all ages to enure you and your family can achieve your ideal smiles. We recognize that every patient has different needs, and we pride ourselves in the courteous service we deliver to each person who walks through our doors. We honor almost all insurance plans and charge no interest on our financing. Straighter Smiles Are Our Specialty!

P.S. Congenitally missing teeth is a trait that tends to appear within families and may also be influenced by environmental factors.

In my opinion

We all can make America great again I fully expected to be writing about the first female president and the importance of that historic moment. But that moment is not yet ours. That event will come (soon) and it will be a woman that the majority of the country will be able to stand behind with great pride and respect. Many say this election became a “choose the lesser of the two evils” kind of thing, but to believe that whomever we elected for the leader of our country is evil at all is a shuddering thought. As the night wore on, I was stunned at what was becoming our national reality. It wasn’t about evil, it was about respect. Would Trump be a leader that other countries would respect? Would Trump be a leader at all? I went to bed before the race was officially called with a heavy heart. The morning light and a reading of the acceptance speech transcript and a deep connection to the core of me give me a new hope. My very ignorant and perhaps naïve view is that Trump sees life as a game. That is a good thing. He is a very good player. He knows how to get what he wants. He wanted a new great big triumph and what better than the presidency of the United States? However, that may have been the miscalcu-

believe that Trump will become a Hitler. I do not believe that anyone has to be in fear of their rights. I do not believe gay marriage will be overturned. I do not believe that a wall will be built. I do not believe that people will be deported. Please join me in believing that all will indeed be well. Please join me in letting go of the fear and the hate. Please join me in believing that we the people are more kind and loving than we give each other credit for. Please act from love and kindness and peace, even when you feel jumbled up about it. What good does it do to lay blame or hide in fear or lash out in anger? The next four years are anyone’s guess. Health insurance is a big question. The fate of our 401(k) is a big question. The mentality and humanity of our fellow man is a big question, but that one is in our hands. We all can make America great again (it’s pretty great right now). We can. It is not the job of the man (or woman) in the White House. It is our job. Let us start now. Kelly Epperson Simmons is a ghostwriter, editor and book coach. She has written 30 books, some for New York Times bestselling authors, one that sold 3 million copies. Visit www.kellyepperson.com and write info@kellyepperson.com.

lation. He wanted the challenge of winning the ELECTION, without much thought to the real job of being the guy in the Oval Office day after day. Being the ignorant and naïve gal that I am, I now choose to believe that HE WILL make the job of president his next great big achievement. If he chooses to become a good leader, it can happen. Look at what he has achieved thus far. If he thinks he can do anything, then let him think he can be the greatest president in the history of the world. Let him get the economy back on track, let him create sound foreign relations, let him unify this divided nation. Now that would be something. Is it possible? The impossible keeps happening, so why not? Right now there is so much fear (and hate) that many people think the world and our nation will crumble. I do not discount the fear, but we cannot (I repeat, we cannot) let it be the driver. I do not

(Continued from page 10) “Usually in a case like this, we take out part of one kidney and then, two or three months later, remove the cancerous section of the other kidney,” said Dr. Kinzler. “But, he said, ‘Doc, I have to get back to work [as an automotive technology instructor at Triton College in River Grove].’” In addition to accommodating DiGangi’s desire to quickly return to his job, Dr. Kinzler thought a single surgery to treat both kidneys would be advantageous for other reasons as well. “I gave him the option of doing both kidney tumor removals at one operation because I knew it would save him recovery time and potential side effects,” he said. “And, there are always risks with major surgery, which would potentially double with two surgeries. “It’s hard to remove part of both kidneys during the same laparoscopic operation. Both renal arteries are temporarily cross-clamped and there is a possibility that if both kidneys do not recover immediately, [DiGangi] would need dialysis for a time after the surgery. I said, ‘I’ll start by doing the left side, and if everything goes smooth and I think it’s safe, we’ll proceed and do the right side.’” On July 11 at Elmhurst Hospital, Dr. Kinzler performed what he believes was a first for a community hospital in Chicago’s western suburbs – single-setting bilateral hand-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomies with bilateral renal artery cross clamping. In layperson’s terms, he removed the cancerous portions from both of DiGangi’s kidneys during one procedure, using a hand-assisted laparoscopic, minimally invasive form of surgery in which several small ports are made in the abdomen. This is an alternative to traditional “open” surgery, which uses a larger, single incision. A special camera and instruments are used to perform the surgery and are passed through the ports. The surgeon is able to view high-resolution video on monitors in the operating room while the procedure is performed. The “hand-assisted” element comes in via an additional incision that allows the surgeon to insert a hand to aid in the more complex maneuvers required to perform the procedure. In total, it took Dr. Kinzler about eight hours to remove about a fourth of DiGangi’s left kidney and a smaller section of his right kidney. Afterward, Dr. Kinzler confirmed the cancer from either kidney had not spread, the margins of both kidneys were free of tumor and that DiGangi’s kidneys were functioning normally. He was home a few days later. After a brief recovery period, DiGangi didn’t waste any time. He shifted back to the speed he prefers – fast. “I let it roll off my shoulder and just keep on going,” he said. “I feel like I have a lot of years left.” For more information visit eehealth.org/services/surgery.

Veterans Day history Why Nov. 11? The day traces its origins back to the end of World War I. On Nov. 11, 1918, an armistice between the U.S.-led Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Though the war wasn’t officially over until the Treaty of Versailles was signed seven months later, the Nov. 11 is recognized as the end of the “war to end all wars,” according to the Allegra Banquets_Thanksgiving_Allegra Banquets 10/24/16 12:51 PM Page 1

Veterans Administration. In November 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as the first commemoration of what was then known as Armistice Day. The day was originally celebrated with parades and a brief suspension of business at 11 a.m. Congress officially recognized the day with a resolution passed on June 4, 1926. It was then that the day – Nov. 11 – was officially recognized as the date of the holiday.

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin announced last week that Alfonso Rodriguez, 23, of Addison, had been sentenced to ten years in the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) for selling cocaine to an undercover officer on more than one occasion. On August 19, 2016, following a three-day long trial, a jury found Rodriguez guilty of three counts of Unlawful Delivery of a Controlled Substance. The offense is a Class X Felony because the sale occurred within 1,000 feet of a school on one occasion and within 1,000 feet of a park on another. Judge Daniel Guerin handed down the sentence, which will be served at 50%. Rodriguez is a Chief of the Latin Counts, a violent Hispanic street gang that originated in Chicago in the mid-1960s. He was previously sent to the IDOC for unlawful sale/ delivery of a Firearm and Aggravated Battery and was currently on mandatory supervised release on these charges when he was arrested for this offense. Prior to his arrest, Rodriguez was the subject of an ongoing investigation conducted by the Addison Police Department and the DuPage Metropolitan Enforcement Group (DuMeg). On December 23, 2015, Rodriguez was arrested and taken into custody by an Addison police officer after completing the cocaine sale. The sale occurred on Michael Lane in Addison. This was the second such sale of cocaine conducted by Rodriguez.

Timothy Christian girls volleyball team logs another 30-win season Trojans take Metro Suburban Red title outright; Four players earn all-conference status By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Timothy Christian girls volleyball team exited the state tournament earlier than it would have liked this season. The Trojans, who were bumped up to Class 3A this season after making it to the state semifinals in Class 2A a year ago, lost to Trinity in the Class 3A Trinity regional championship match. “It was a little earlier than we would have hoped,” agreed Timothy Christian coach Scott Piersma. “That’s not to say we didn’t think it could happen. Being up in Class 3A is a whole different animal. There are tough teams in Class 2A that we had to beat such as Latin School, which we beat in a three-setter this year (Latin qualified for this year’s Class 2A state semifinals). We knew there would be no easy matches. We knew we would have to bring everything we had to string together some great matches.” Timothy lost in three sets to Trinity after easily winning its regional semifinal contest. “We played well against Trinity,” said Piersma. “It’s really hard

to beat a team when that team plays perfectly. Trinity did everything they had to do to slow us down. We never saw a team slow down Ava (Timothy standout Venema) like they did. They kept attacking and kept the ball in the air and slowed things down with a few soft blocks. They took away one of our biggest weapons. They did everything they could to beat us. We didn’t lose the match. They certainly won the match.” However, the loss didn’t overshadow what was another wildly successful season for the Trojans. Timothy went 31-6 overall and hit the 30-win barrier for the third year in a row. “Winning 30 matches is impressive any way you look at it when you are playing 35 or 37 matches a season,” said Piersma, who noted it was the fifth time in school history that 30 or more wins was achieved. “For girls like Ava and Kendra (Teune) that was three in a row with 30 wins. That’s impressive as well. The girls were disappointed that we lost to Trinity but you can’t let anybody take away what they accomplished.”

Timothy also won the Metro Suburban Conference Red Division title. It was the sixth conference title in a row either shared or won outright for the Trojans. “We won 31 matches and won the conference title for a sixth year in a row and won two of the four tournaments we were in,” said Piersma. “That’s 16-4 in those tournaments. All of that is impressive. It’s disappointing to lose a big match like that to Trinity, but at the same time we had another outstanding season and we made sure the girls focused on that.” Timothy landed four players on the all-MSC Red team. That group included junior setter Tracy Westra, senior libero Zoe Stanton and the offensive powerhouse tandem of Venema and Teune. Teune was named the Red Division MVP. “For Ava and Kendra that’s two years in a row of being all-conference,” the coach pointed out. “Kendra getting MVP is pretty incredible as well. We’ve had four conference MVPs since I can remember (setting standout Jenna Lodewyk twice, Kacie

Stoll and now Teune). Getting the conference MVP award is a high honor. We’re going up against other very talented girls in the conference and to receive that speaks volumes for Kendra and her play.” Timothy will say goodbye to six seniors, including Venema, Teune, Stanton, multisport athlete Olivia Hoekstra, middle blocker Emily Schmidt and defensive specialist Heather Kocol. “Emily and Heather were very much key parts of this team,” said Piersma. “They had big roles on the team whether it was in practice or in matches. This is a senior crew that is going to be missed. The way you

keep your success going is you have great senior leaders and then you have younger kids willing to look up to them and learn from them and grow into leaders themselves.” Piersma is excited about the future. Westra and Rachel Stoll will begin their third seasons on the varsity next year. “It seems like we would be starting over, but we’re not,” he said. “We have Tracy and Rachel and a few juniors coming back. We have a good core and then we’ll have to fill in some spots like we’ve done in the past. We’ll have girls step up ini the right places and we’ll be fine.”

Kendra Teune named Metro Suburban Conference Red Division MVP By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Timothy Christian senior Kendra Teune’s strong play on the volleyball court this fall recently earned her high distinction. Teune was named the MVP of the Metro Suburban Conference Red Division this season. Teune’s play helped Timothy win the MSC Red title outright—the program’s sixth league title in a row either shared or won outright. “It definitely means a lot to me,” she said. “There is a lot of talent, especially on our team, and in the conference overall. To be recognized as MVP is awesome and something I’m super-proud of after working so hard on varsity the last three years.” Teune said her biggest advancements this season came off the pin. “I feel like I improved a lot on my backrow skills,” she said. “This is the first year I played allaround as an outside hitter. I definitely improved on my defense.” She added her improvement went beyond the Xs and Os on the court. “As a senior I also felt like I improved as a leader,” she said. “As a senior, I stepped up into that role and got better as a leader. Being able to play all-around (six rotations) also helped me become a better leader because I was always on the court.” Teune’s tenure on the varsity included three 30-win seasons plus a trip to the Class 2A state semifinals last season. “It’s been such an honor to play for Timothy Christian,” she said. “Now it’s over. Playing at Timothy always has been something I looked forward to. I’ve been at the school since preschool so I grew up in the school community. And being able to have such a successful career in volleyball with this team means so much to me.” Teune started playing the sport in the third grade. “Growing up my parents were always eager for me to

try different sports,” she said. “I tried a ton of different ones such as soccer and basketball and volleyball. At a pretty young age I knew volleyball was my favorite and it was something I wanted to work at to get better.” Teune played club for Lisle-based Illinois Performance Volleyball, but does not plan on playing club this coming season. “I’m not playing volFILE PHOTO leyball in college,” she said. “I’m going to focus Timothy Christian senior on academics and work to Kendra Teune (shown during a Sept 3, 2016 help pay for college.” Teune would like to at- match) was named MVP tend Purdue University of the Metro Suburban and is hoping to major in Conference Red Division this year. landscape architecture. “I’ve always loved math and science,” she said. “I also loved the art classes I’ve taken. I like being creative and during high school I found out I’m passionate for the environment and creating a healthier and more sustainable world. That led me toward architecture.” Teune, a member of the high honor roll all four years at Timothy, said she’s going to miss the environment around the Timothy volleyball program. “It’s weird to think I will never play on the Timothy court again,” she said. “I’m going to miss (head coach Scott) Piersma and all the other coaches who have helped me in my career. I’m also going to miss all my teammates. It was a big honor to play with them.”

Mastering the middle By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

York junior middle blocker Molly Evans didn’t hold back in evaluating herself at the start of this season. “Personally at the beginning of the season when summer camp was over I found myself not being as physically equipped as I would have liked to be,” she said. So Evans did something about it. “I hit the weights,” she said. “We all hit the weights and pushed each other on and off the court and we became better, not only with volleyball but academically. We’re always pushing each other to do better.” Evans was one of a number of key contributors who helped the Dukes win another regional title and advance to a Class 4A sectional semifinal match. Evans noted her time in the weight room produced the desired results she wanted to see. “The biggest thing was I had to get stronger,” she said. “I would say I got quite a bit stronger. I was lifting maybe three time a week especially during the offseason. I eventually saw the results. The whole team did. We were a very competitive team this year.” When talking about one of her other im-

provements—her hitting—Evans again drifted to the greater sum of the team. “My hitting improved a lot,” she said. “But it wasn’t just me. We had a ton of girls, even the sophomores, who were hitting better, they got stronger and they were blocking better and serving faster. We minimized our unforced errors and we worked better as a team overall.” Evans said she had a hitting efficiency of around 22 percent at the start of the season. “By the end of the season it was 36 percent,” she said. “It was all about the training. Volleyball is mental. This was my first year on varsity and I think I got intimidated the first few games. I got really intimidated. There were senior girls out there who were going on to play in college. I kept working to become more comfortable and I started playing better.” Evans noted she’s also fortunate to be under the tutelage of longtime Dukes coach Patty Iverson. “York volleyball is amazing and Patty Iverson is such an inspiring and amazing coach,” she said. “She’s been coaching for a long time and has so much knowledge of the game.” Evans got her start in the sport in middle school through a YMCA volleyball program. “I saw other girls playing and it sparked my

Junior Molly Evans emerged as a key contributor for the York girls volleyball team interest,” she said. “I thought I should play volleyball. I enjoy both the team and individual aspect of it. What you do helps you as an individual but it also runs parallel to your other teammates and that’s what we have at York. We have such dedicated and sweet girls. They do the same thing. They are pushing me to work even harder.” Evans, who also competes in track and field at York, plays club in the off-season for Illinois Performance Volleyball. She also is a former Irish dancer. “I did Irish dancing for six or seven years. I got to wear the curly wigs” she said. “I used to go to the Midwest championship. I have a few first place trophies.” But she took an even greater lesson out of her Irish dancing time. “Irish dancing was the first thing that taught me about teamwork,” she said. And Evans hasn’t forgotten that lesson and York’s volleyball team is better off because of it. Right: Dukes junior middle blocker Molly Evans (shown in a Sept. 28, 2016 York victory over Hinsdale South) improved her hitting efficiency from 22 to 36 percent this season.

Lewand, in addition to swimming on a pair of relays for the Dukes, competed in the 50 and 500 freestyle races — the shortest and longest competitions on the docket. And she loves the variety. “I didn’t start swimming the 500 until this year,” she said. “I’ve always been a sprinter and then on a whim I decided to swim the 500 at a meet and I did a lot better than I expected. When I started doing the 500 I didn’t have many expectations. I kept practicing and kept getting better and ended up in the position I’m in.” Lewand enjoys the challenge the 500 brings her. “I’m not used to distance events,” she said. “Instead of sprinting, I have to pace myself and that requires a lot more determination to get through such a long event.” At the opposite end of the spectrum is the 50, which she is more familiar with. “It’s opposite the 500,” she said. “Both have good aspects and harder aspects. The 50 is such a burst of energy. It’s nice that you can go give it your all in such a short amount of time.” As a senior, Lewand is one of the Dukes’ team leaders. “Being a captain on the team is a great role to have,” she said. “I love being able to help and lead the girls. I love leading them in cheers and making sure we have great team spirit. Overall, there is such a positive atmosphere with our girls. They all love being in the pool.” Lewand said swimming at York has afforded her the opportunity to meet many new people. “You spend so much time with the girls on the team,” she said. “We’re together for practices before and after school. You develop such strong relationships with girls in your grade, the younger girls and the upperclassmen.” Lewand is a product of the Elmhurst Swim Team where she’s been since the fourth grade. “I’ve enjoyed swimming,” she said. “I’ve known a lot of the girls on the team since EST. When I was there I knew I would make a lot of friends on the York team so I decided to continue swimming in high school.” Lewand can’t believe how quickly her four years in the program have flown by. “You spend so much time with the girls and you have a blast and in a blink of an eye the four years have passed,” she said. “Four years are gone. It’s crazy to think it’s

your last year.” Lewand, also the goalie on the York girls water-polo team, would like to study either marketing or environmental science in college though and said she plans on doing club swimming and/ or water polo at that level. In her spare time, Lewand enjoys drawing. She’s involved in the art programs at York and is taking an AP art course. She recently drew a lion that she’s rather proud of. “It took a long time to draw,” she said. “I’m proud of the way it came out.” Whether it’s drawing or painting or working her way through 500 yards in the pool, Lewand puts everything she has into her activities and school work. “People might not know just how much I like to do the things I do,” she said. “I put my mind to it and do the best I can at it.” And the results speak for themselves.

York girls swimming team wins sectional title By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York girls swimming team made some history this past weekend after winning its own York sectional team title. It was York’s third sectional title in program history and first in 21 years. York also won sectional titles in 1993 and 1995. York finished with 264 points. Glenbard West was second with 238 points. York qualified its 200 freestyle relay team for state after it placed third with a state-qualifying time of 1:38.42. That team included Allie Orzak, Meghan Quinn, Winona Asher and Sarah Lewand. Orzak, Asher and Lewand are seniors, while Quinn is a junior. York also qualified its 400 relay team for state. The team of Lewand, freshman Amanda Polach, Quinn and Orzak won the race in 3:36.78. Sophomore Birgitte Kammerdiener finished third in diving with 420 points and senior Katie Fischer finished fourth with 396.80 points. Both were in contention for one of 32 at-large berths in the state diving finals. Freshman Moleigh Waldherr won the breaststroke sectional title with a time of 1:09.00.

IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball team advances to sectional final Knights win 19 matches; Reardon, Curran earn all-conference awards

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

It was a bittersweet ending to the IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball season. The major positive is the Knights did advance to a Class 2A sectional final. The tough-pill-to-swallow part is the team IC Catholic Prep lost to, Chicago Latin School, ended up making it to the Class 2A state semifinals. “It was a tough loss,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Nancy D’Amore. “It’s always easier to look back at it, but we got a close look at Latin because we hosted the supersectional (where Latin won to advance to the state semifinals). It’s tough. I think all in all, we probably were the better team, we just didn’t play better that night. That is a tough pill to swallow. Latin stepped up when they needed to. That’s how it goes and that’s why the postseason is so crazy.” But after having time to digest the situation, D’Amore was thrilled with how the season played out for the Knights overall. “Now that you are a step or two away from it, the girls understand it’s a big accomplishment what they did,” she said. “If you look back from where we started, it’s pretty impressive with how we pulled it all together. The girls got the most out of themselves and really played to their potential. We had some rough patches early on and we made some adjustments that helped us get better. That’s not always easy. They can look back and say it was a big accomplishment to get to the sectional final. Yes, it’s bittersweet because we felt we could have been there and earned that trip to state.” IC Catholic Prep finished the season 19-19 overall. “I keep repeating to the girls if we look back at the

Morley plans on studying something along the lines of audio engineering. “Belmont has a great music production program,” she said. “I’ve always been into music. I was playing instruments in the second and third grade and I haven’t stopped.” When she was younger, Morley played the clarinet and bassoon and later picked up guitar and a little bit with the piano. “Audio engineering kind of goes into mixing and mastering and recording music and albums,” she said. “There is a lot you can do with audio engineering like working at venues and touring with bands and working to create live shows.” Morley was proactive when it came to getting her name out in the track-and-field realm to Belmont. “I reached out to them before the beginning of track season my junior year and let them know I wanted to compete,” she said. “They said they would keep in contact with me. I kept speaking with them and it ended up that they had a spot on the team for me. It means so much. Athletics always have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since I was a freshman, I wanted to do a sport in college. I also learned to love sports that are associated with school.

It’s nice to see things getting better.” Morley, who jumped 5-6 last year and qualified for the Class 3A state finals meet, is happy to have her college choice made. “I’m super-excited about it,” she said. “It’s helpful to have a season where no matter what happens I have a place to go. That being said, I’m looking forward to making even more improvements this year.” Morley said her improvement in the event has come down to the mental side of the jump. “The key is being able to keep focused on the steps of the jump,” she said. “I break it down into what happens, for instance, when you go

through your approach. There are multiple things you have to hit on in the process. You have to recognize where you have trouble and where you’ve made mistakes and understand you are going to have bad and good days. There is a lot of time and effort that goes into this. It’s important to persevere through whatever you have to fix. If you put in the time and effort, it’s going to work out.” Morley, who is on the high honor roll at York and takes AP classes, stands 5 feet, 11 inches tall. The fact that she’s jumped five inches short of her standing height is not lost on her. “I want to clear at least six feet before my career is over,” she said. And for Morley, with four more years on the horizon after York, she’s just getting started.

Revolutionary Framework for Healthy Metabolism Function.” “In my view, we are missing some of the most powerful and supportive steps we can take to remain well and prevent disease and illness.” Lu says the teachings of TCM can help patients deal with the root cause of their problems, rather than just eliminate the symptoms. While complex, he is offering a few quick insights into the subject of food as medicine. • Nutritionists today base their work on the physical and chemical properties of food alone, but this is just half the picture. “There are many immaterial things contained within food as well,” says Lu, who cites Qi, or vital energy, as a key aspect of food you can’t see. • The “right” foods won’t necessarily protect your health by virtue of their properties

alone. Good organ function is also necessary for your body to process and digest what you eat. However, foods can help restore balance to an ailing organ system. • Listen to your body, not cultural beliefs about what is good or bad for you. Lu offers the example of a woman craving sugar or salt during her menstrual cycle. “Assuming she listens to the wisdom of her body and satisfies her craving, she’ll have some chocolate or eat some potato chips. This woman is doing something natural.” • You may have heard of the adage, “you are what you eat.” Lu says to also consider the phrase, “you are what you think,” and avoid a steady diet of negative emotions, which you then must digest and process. Your thoughts impact your body and health, he says. • The next time your stomach

is upset, consider reaching for something natural. Ginger can be eaten or used topically to deal with stomach discomfort, reduce inflammation and even lower pain from arthritis. More information about TCM and “Digesting the Universe” can be found at

tcmworld.org. While modern science has offered us groundbreaking medications and treatments, traditional healing systems can help patients recognize the root cause of physical conditions for a healthier, more balanced life. 186149

(StatePoint) When you’re not feeling well, conventional wisdom says you should reach for over-the-counter or prescription remedies. But many experts point out that foods have healing properties that can be complementary in helping to treat common ailments and prevent illness. “The concept of using food as medicine isn’t a new one; however, the evolution of society and science has moved us further from this concept,” says Grand Master Nan Lu, OMD, one of the country’s foremost teachers and practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and author of the new book “Digesting the Universe: A

start of the season at those first few weeks, we had to push through some tough skids,” said D’Amore. “The team the last two or three weeks of the season was a completely different team than the one we started with. Their hard work and trust in each other was something to see. They bought in to what I wanted them to do. We’re known for our first-contact skills and that was spot-on at the end of the year. We were a very tough passing team. We picked up a lot of balls defensively and frustrated other teams. We were aggressive with our serv-

ing. Offensively, we didn’t have any high-powered hitters, but we had people step up. Even in the sectional final, everybody stepped up in a different way. We had an incredibly successful season because of that.” Tess Reardon and Giana Curran earned all-Metro Suburban Conference Blue Division honors. Reardon, Curran, Katie Hendricks, Kaitlyn Falduto and Molly Fahey are the five seniors leaving the program. “That will be the hardest part, losing those five girls,” said D’Amore.

For many, holiday’s come wrapped with “to-do lists.” Extra chores without additional time can seriously dampen what’s supposed to be “the most wonderful time of the year. That’s why more and more families are tossing out the lists and giving each other the very special gift of time. Member ranches of the Dude Ranchers Association or DRA, as it’s known, are hosting more guests then ever during the holiday seasons. It seems travelers are discovering A DRA guest ranch an ideal place to give thanks and make merry with friends and family. Since 1926 the DRA has set standards for the industry, extending membership only to those ranches consistently meeting distinguished levels of quality and authenticity. The spectacular scenery of the remote wilderness settings, family style meals and activities, and Western hospitality make a holiday spent at a dude ranch one to remember.

It’s a place where visitors can explore the depths of historic copper mines, scuba dive Great Lakes shipwrecks, bike on world-class trails and visit more than 300 waterfalls. “What great recognition not only for our natural products and all they have to offer but for the hard working people who manage our hospitality industry in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula,” said Tom Nemacheck, executive director of the Upper Peninsula Travel and Recreation Association (UPTRA). “The Upper Peninsula still manages to escape the international spotlight,” said Lonely Planet editor Rebecca Warren. “It’s the best-kept secret by Midwesterners, which means prices are reasonable and crowds are comparatively light.” For more information or trip ideas in the Upper Peninsula, visit http:// www.michigan.org/hot-spots/upperpeninsula/.
