Grabowski shares results of recent citizen survey Location, quality of schools high on list of ‘most liked’ features

By Dee Longfellow

tenance and you can see it was recognized by the residents. The At the latest City Council meet- following year we put the money ing held Monday, June 20, City back in and suddenly, the survey Manager Jim Grabowski shared the scores went up.” results of the recent Citizen Survey that was mailed to 1600 residents earlier this year.

“We mailed the survey to 1600 residents and received 655 in return,” he said. “That’s a 40.9% response rate and that’s pretty good.

It’s a 16-page survey, so it shows our residents take things very seriously.”

Although an almost 41% response rate would delight most marketing professionals, the City is planning to engage the services of a class at Elmhurst College to help with the survey next time in hopes of an even higher response rate. Elmhurst College can be tapped as an inexpensive resource for area businesses to use for marketing, sales, graphic design, survey fulfillment and analysis and other services.

The request is assigned to a certain classroom and instructor who completes project as a class assignment, sometimes lasting the entire semester. Most recently, the Elmhurst Walk-In Ministry, now called the Elmhurst Walk-In Assistance Network, retained a class at Elmhurst College to have a new logo designed as well as other materials to roll-out the new name change.

Many people are happy with overall City operations, according to the survey. Grabowski said the overall dissatisfaction was its lowest in 1994 and 2012.

“You see dips [in the survey trends] as budgets fluctuate,” he said. “As we hit tough times in 2008, we stretched street main-

Dental filling at 4:00 and big game at 5:00?

No Problem!

Have a

Healthy and Happy

Whether you’re missing one or all of your teeth, there’s now an exciting option that will help you smile with confidence again.

Thousands of people are flashing smiles that have been beautified by implants, a fabulous tooth replacement technique that can be performed right here in our office.

Dental implants are the closest cousin to natural teeth. They are permanent false teeth anchored right into your jawbone, just like your natural teeth. They’re more stable than dentures, and eating is done with ease and comfort. Many patients find implants give them a more positive self-image and more confidence.

From Our Family To Yours

Implants can be used to stabilize dentures and bridges, replace just one tooth or to rebuild an entire jaw of missing teeth. The best part is that they look and feel just like natural teeth. Dental implants are reliable. Patients have retained them for more than twenty years with a better than 90% success rate.

Dental implant treatments does require a greater investment of time and money, but in the long run, it’s well worth it.

Elmhurst Toyota, Elmhurst BMW, and Jaguar Elmhurst are gearing up for their annual USO BBQ for the Troops to be held on Saturday, July 16 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the dealerships, located at 440 W. Lake St. Open to the public, the event is a fundraiser to support the USO of Illinois as well as local military troops and their families.

“We are excited to be hosting this great event at our dealership this year,” said General Manager Kurt Schiele. “Elmhurst Toyota proudly supports our local military troops and their families, and we look forward to making this a big event every year.”

All proceeds from the BBQ for the Troops will be donated to USO of Illinois, for the benefit of local military troops and their families.

Last year, the BBQ raised more than $20,000 for the USO. The day will feature live coun-

Last year, brave kids were invited to climb inside one of the huge tires and attempt to roll it while inside.

A few people were successful, but the “ride” was short-lived.

This year, Schiele said Elmhurst Toyota has set a goal to raise at least $24,000.

Mazzochi, a WBHS grad, takes the helm after controversial few years

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE INDEPENDENT

The Independent recently had a chance to catch up with Deanne Marie Mazzochi who is now serving as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the College of DuPage (COD).

An Elmhurst resident, Mazzochi was raised in Villa Park, where she grew up and attended Willowbrook High School.

Recently, she was given a Willowbrook Outstanding Deanne Alumni Award.

Mazzochi A graduate of Boston University in chemistry and biology, she also holds a major in political science.

“That had a lot of people scratching their heads,” she said. “Chemistry and biology along with political science? Many people wondered what I had in mind as a career. But it has worked out well.”

After Boston University, Mazzochi went to law school at George Washington University, where she graduated with honors. Following her education, she and three partners set up a law firm in downtown Chicago, which has now grown to 70 employees.

C.O.D. – a fantastic resource Having taken classes herself at COD, Mazzochi recognizes what a valuable resource it is to have the school right here in DuPage County.

“It’s a great place for hands-on learning in a university environment,” she said. “You can obtain a certification in many areas. Those kinds of offerings drive the value of COD. “It has been our goal to keep tuition affordable. Last year, we were able to keep tuition flat. This year,

“

It has been our goal to keep tuition affordable. Last year, we were able to keep tuition flat. This year, the tax levy went down, so everyone should look for that on their next property tax bill.”

– Deanne Marie Mazzochi, Chairman of the Board, College of DuPage

the tax levy went down, so everyone should look for that on their next property tax bill.”

There are 2+2 programs and 3+1 programs, according to Mazzochi.

“This means two years at COD, then two at a partner college,” she said. “Likewise, 3+1 is the same thing, three years at COD, then one at another. We have partner colleges that use the same curriculum, so that creates a nice synergy for our students who move on. It also makes it that much more affordable.”

The University of Illinois, for example, has a curriculum that matches with COD. Some students find it easier to take their Core requirements needed for graduation at COD, because classes tend to be smaller and more intimate, making it easier to get one-on-one time with a professor, according to Mazzochi.

What got her interested in running for the COD Board was the fact that the school lost the Police Training Academy program to another institution. She began attending Board meetings and decided to run for office.

“It’s one thing to sit there and listen to all the things that are wrong or lacking in an institution,” she said. “But if you’re not going to do anything about it, then you can’t complain. So I decided to run.”

At the time of that election, COD was in considerable turbulence with its then-College President Robert L. Brueder, who was facing heavy criticism for alleged financial misappropriation and lack of accountability.

Hence, there were 12 candidates running for just three open seats.

Still, in the hotly-contested race, Mazzochi was the top vote-getter of them all, garnering almost 50,000 votes.

Once seated, she joined others on the Board in the decision to void part of Brueder’s contract, then to terminate his employment.

“We presented all the points we made to him in writing,” Mazzochi said. “We said, ‘Here is the record we based our decision on.’ But the next day, he filed a law suit against us.”

COD filed a Motion to Dismiss shortly after, which is still pending.

Because the case is in litigation, Mazzochi was not at liberty to talk very much about Brueder and the case against him, but she did mention a few incidents that had come under question.

“There were expense reports for as much as $600 for wine for ‘entertaining donors,’” she said. “When the use of his ‘President’s Expense Account’ was criticized, he switched to Petty Cash. There were expenditures for ‘instructional supplies’ that totaled about $10,000. I mean, can you imagine, $10,000 out of Petty Cash? Most people don’t consider $10,000 ‘petty’ in any way.”

Another concern among Board members was that many things were pushed through without discussion.

There were times when bids should

have been sought, but were not.

“So our plan moving forward is to be more visible, more accountable to the public,” Mazzochi said.

A new President joins the administration In October and November of 2015, a past Board Chair joined a Presidential Search Committee, which was aptly chaired by former House Speaker Lee Daniels, according to Mazzochi.

“I was especially happy to have Daniels on board,” she said. “I knew he was invested enough to make sure we had a top notch candidate for President.”

Prior to offering the position to anyone, there were focus groups and community forums held for college students and other stakeholders, as well as throughout the community to get input on what the public sought in a College president.

“The Search Committee narrowed it down to three very high quality candidates,” Mazzochi said.

“Ultimately, we offered and the job was accepted by Dr. Ann Rondeau.”

Rondeau came with an impressive curriculum vitae, beginning with being a 3-star Vice Admiral of the U.S. Navy – she is only the second woman in the history of the U.S. Navy to ever achieve this status.

“You may recall a few years ago, there was a great deal of trouble with the operations of Great Lakes Naval Academy,” Mazzochi said.

“Well, she’s the person who came in and turned it all around; she came in and fixed it.”

Mazzochi said Rondeau serves on several boards including the Board that determines accreditation of institutions of learning.

“Her record of experience made her a great fit, not only now but looking to the future,” Mazzochi said. “She’s a very humble person,

but very direct. She has very high expectations but waits to know the situation before jumping at a solution. Her philosophy is ‘Covenant Leadership,’ which means creating an environment in which everyone is encouraged to do their very best. Teachers, professors, students, board members, administrators, everyone.”

Most of all, Mazzochi said, what stays top of minds among Board members is to address the question: “Are students getting value for their education dollar?”

What about the state budget impasse?

“That’s definitely affecting us, but we have tried to keep a focus on the bottom line,” she said. “After Brueder left, we were able to cut approximately $9 million out of expenses. Fiscally, we’re in pretty good shape. We are self-funding MAP grants. We took a look at our bond debt and were able to retire some of it. We will have a balanced budget this year.

“We’re just assuming we’ll get no state dollars, so we’ll continue to fund MAP grants.”

The biggest chunk of the budget is $8.2 million per month for salaries, and $2.2 million per month for benefits and $24 million per month for healthcare.

On the personal side Mazzochi and her husband have two children, Annabelle, 11, who attends Sandburg, and Benjamin, 6, who is at Hawthorne.

Asked their favorite Elmhurst destinations, she quickly answers “Wilder Park.”

“It’s such a nice place for the whole family. Then there’s the swimming pool, that would be my kids’ first choice. Everything is perfectly within walking distance of where we live. It’s great to be able to walk everywhere.”

Lebanese Winter Olympian running Elmhurst’s 4 on the 4th

A three-time Winter Olympic Alpine skier has entered the Elmhurst Running Club 4 on the 4th on her road to Rio de Janeiro, where she plans to make history by running the Summer Olympic Marathon. If all goes well, Chirine Njeim, who competes for Lebanon but resides in Chicago, will be the first downhill skier to participate in the Summer Games. Other winter athletes have been Summer Olympians, but most were bobsledders or cross-country skiers.

Njeim, who grew up skiing from age 3 near Beirut (yes, they get snow), has taken up serious running and ran a grueling 2:44:14 at the Houston Marathon in January to qualify for Rio, becoming the first Lebanese woman to qualify for an Olympic 26.2-miler. After flirting with 3 hours several times as a novice, her breakthrough came last fall at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, when she ran 2:46:41.

“Running this race on the Fourth of July, approximately a month before the Olympic Marathon serves as another great opportunity to go through the process of racing,” said Njeim, who runs for the Fleet Feet Sports Racing Team. “Participating in reputable and competitive races is paramount to help me prepare for the atmosphere and athletes

I’ll be up against in the Rio Games.

“Additionally, the distance of this race (four miles) helps me focus on building speed, and the proximity makes this very convenient to my overall training, limiting the time necessary to travel. I’m definitely looking forward to the event.”

Her Winter Olympics included Salt Lake City in 2002, Torino in 2006 and Vancouver in 2010. Her best finish was 34th in 2010.

She has competed in Super G, Giant Slalom and Slalom.

“We’re elated that Chirine has chosen our race as a way to stay sharp for the Olympics,” 4 on the 4th race director Bob Richards said.

Njeim will be in a tough field that includes defending champion Kristen Heckert, 29, of Naperville and Tera Moody, 35, of Chicago, who also possess strong marathon pedigrees.

Heckert ran the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials at Los Angeles in January, finishing 27th in 2:43:39. Moody, the first women’s winner of the 4 on the 4th in 2005, ran on the U.S. team at the 2009 World Championships (2:36:39). Her best time of 2:32:59 came later that year in Chicago.

“This race is one of the highlights of my racing year,” said Heckert, who the 2015 4

on the 4th in 21 minutes, 36 seconds. “I love the course, atmosphere and the chance to compete with my New Balance teammates.”

Moody is looking forward to her return to Elmhurst.

“I am thrilled to finally make it back to the 4 on the 4th,” said Moody, who will be joined by 2005 men’s winner Jim Akita of Elmhurst. “I have been hoping to make it back for years, but my schedule and injuries have prevented my last few attempts. I am grateful to be healthy and able to run in this extremely competitive race with such a history in the Chicago area. My goal is not a place or time but to run as hard as I can with where I am at.”

Women’s course record-holder Laura Batterink of Evanston is considering running, but had not committed at press time.

Registration is open to runners of all abilities. The 4-mile race, Presented by Prairie Path Foot & Ankle Clinic, begins at 7:15 a.m., July 4. The Kids 1K begins at 8:25.

Proceeds go to the Elmhurst Children’s Assistance Foundation. Packet pickup is Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Fleet Feet Sports-Elmhurst, 124 E. Schiller St. There will be race-day registration. For information, go to 4on4th.com.

PSA: Don’t drink and drive this Independence Day Every year, Americans head out on our roads to celebrate the Fourth of July at picnics, parties, parades, and more. Unfortunately, for many people celebrating includes drinking alcohol, which too often leads to drunk driving on one of the most traveled holidays of the year.

That’s why the Elmhurst Police will be on patrol this Independence Day, making sure motorists are sober. Extra patrols started on June 21st and will continue through In-

dependence Day. “Don’t even think about drinking and driving this Fourth of July—or you will be arrested,” said Commander Jim Gandy. “The ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ campaign means zero tolerance for drunk driving—no excuses.”

Is Trump actually uniting Americans? First time since 9/11

It’s become a novelty to watch Donald Trump’s rambling speeches, while most Republicans make a mad dash for the door, wanting nothing to do with him.

George Will just left the Republican party, now calling himself Independent. A long-time conservative columnist and Fox News contributor, Will said the straw that broke the camel’s back for him was Paul Ryan’s endorsement of Trump. It was tentative at best, half-hearted, with Ryan appearing to leave the option of bowing out on certain issues, but it was still an endorsement. The horse is out of the barn.

What’s happening now is something I suspected – Trump appears to be imploding. At first, no one wanted to hear his grandiose speeches. Then people began to listen in to hear the nonsense rolling out of his mouth and on the speculation that a fight could break out at one of his rallies. Now it’s kind of fun just to watch him babble his drivel. He’s also been in the game long enough that he is starting to either repeat

Under my father’s fedora...

Dee Longfellow

Editor himself OR fail to remember something (or someone!) he said several weeks or months ago. For a person who claims to have such a great memory, sounds like the Donald might want to call for one of those “Improve Your Memory” DVDs. The other thing he’s doing is uniting America. It may be against him, but it’s still uniting.

There was a similar situation in Elmhurst when parents of children in District 205 Schools were ex-

pressing ill will toward then-Superintendent Lynn Krizic. At that time, one resident spoke during public forum at a Board meeting noting: “You’re uniting the community all right! You’re uniting us because everywhere you go, it’s the topic of conversation. At ball games, barbecues, everywhere, District 205 is what everyone is talking about.”

I dare say it’s the same thing with the Donald. He’s got people talking about him everywhere they go. It appears that most level-headed people – Republicans AND Democrats – are united against him.

Trump is reportedly (?) having trouble courting women voters (what?!). A recent poll claims Hillary has a double-digit lead over Trump among registered female voters. Another poll indicated that more than 70% of women have an unfavorable view of Donald. (Only 70%?)

Well, hang on to your misogynistic horses. There is now a twitter account at #TrumpGirlsBreakTheInternet, showcasing the women who

are supporting Trump (supposedly).

If you visit, make sure your kids are in the other room because it looks like a chat room for Playboy magazine. One young girl (who looks 20-something) is pictured, although fully clothed, sprawled across a chair with her legs spread wide in her cutoff shorts. Two other photos showed women with large breasts about to pop out of their tops. So, these are the women who support Trump! It all makes sense now.

But George Will leaving the party is what turned on the light for me.

If more and more people depart from the Republican party, is there any possible chance they’ll sit down with Democrats and actually work together? Will our leaders in Washington finally unite behind the efforts to ‘Dump Trump’ to the point they will consider doing what’s best for the American people, rather than wealthy donors and special interest groups?

It’s hard to say whether or not we’ve come that far, but it seems to me the last time we were united

like this – united as Americans – not Republicans or Democrats, not fat, tall, thin, short, not blacks, whites or Asians – Americans – was after 9/11. Some people might find that blasphemous, but I ask you, when has the country ever been so united as Americans? World War II perhaps? It seems to happen when we must group together to fight a common enemy.

There’s a campaign slogan for you: “Donald Trump: Fight the common enemy.”

From the red-faced department Thank you to the faithful but unidentified reader who pointed out that we have been publishing an error in almost every story that has to do with storm water management.

The Independent has referred to “detention ponds” rather than “retention ponds.” As the reader pointed out, the water is being retained in the ponds, it is not being held after school. Good catch -- consider it caught and corrected. And thanks again!

What to do when encountering a coyote – Like I did!

By Marisa Mancini FOR THE INDEPENDENT

(Ed. note: Marisa Mancini has just begun writing features for the Independent, when she stumbled across this story of her own – an encounter with a coyote! Enjoy her story.)

Last week, while walking my 7-pound dog at 10:30 p.m. on Arlington Avenue near St. Charles Road, I was approached by a coyote.

For a split second I stood there in disbelief, but as its paws approached my dog, I swung her by the leash up into my arms and started running.

The coyote pursued me all the way to my driveway.

The Elmhurst Police Department confirmed there have been numerous coyote incident reports in the recent months. As residents trying to get used to these new “neighbors,” here are some safety basics for walking dogs in coyote territory as set forth by Jaymi Heimbuch, documentarian of The Natural History of the Urban Coyote and the Urban Coyote Project.

• Keep your dog on a 6-foot leash instead of a retractable lease so you can easily control your dog. Retract-

able leashes may make it difficult to reel your dog back in.

• Avoid walking your dog in areas where coyotes have been reported by city officials or neighbors.

• Walk in open areas as this gives you time to spot and react to a coyote and avoid thick brush.

If you and your dog encounter a coyote, it is important to have full control over your dog so it does not move towards the coyote. Pick up and carry small dogs. Stand tall and assertively (coyotes are wary of humans and your presence is usually enough to scare one.) Maintain eye

Governor urged to sign legislation for emergency relief to social service agencies As many Illinois social service agencies are cutting services due to the state budget impasse, State Rep. Kathleen Willis (D-Addison) is urging Governor Bruce Rauner to sign an emergency funding bill to provide relief to providers of services for the frail elderly, disabled children, rape victims and those with mental health challenges.

“Our state’s safety net for our most vulnerable residents is evaporating due to the budget impasse,”

said Willis. “I am calling on the governor to sign emergency legislation to stop the bleeding and to allow these agencies to continue to help our neediest families.”

Senate Bill 2038 is an emergency funding bill to provide resources to social services throughout Illinois.

The legislation passed the General Assembly with overwhelming support from both Democrats and Republicans, and was sent to Governor Rauner’s desk for his signature to

become law on May 18. It remains unsigned.

“This piece of legislation is supported by both Democrats and Republicans because it is undeniable how badly communities throughout the state need this measure,” Willis added.

“As a member of the Illinois House Human Services Appropriations Committee, I am calling on the governor to not waste another day and sign this bill immediately.”

contact; do not turn your back on the coyote.

Do not run. Running away can trigger a coyote to give chase.

“Haze” the coyote by making noise – e.g., yelling, stomping your feet -- flashing a flashlight, tossing rocks near the coyote and anything else that will frighten the coyote off.

Continue hazing and moving toward the coyote until it leaves but do not turn your back on it. Stay tall and assertive as you leave the area, even if it means walking backwards. If the coyote acts overly assertive, report the incident to city authorities.

To keep coyotes away your pets at home, do not let your pet outside alone, especially at night. Haze coyotes every time you see them, even if your pet is not with you. Avoid having any food in your yard including fallen fruit from trees, barbeque grill debris, open trashcans and compost piles.

Had I followed these procedures, it is likely I would not have been chased by the coyote I encountered.

I only hope that being more informed and proactive about coyotes will result in the fewer incidents overall.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF YOUR BED? According to “conventional wisdom,” hard mattresses are best for people with back pain. However, a well-designed study found that, over the period of one month, those sleeping on hard mattresses did slightly worse in terms of back symptoms and sleep quality than those sleeping on either body-conforming foam mattresses or water beds. It seems that a hard mattress is more apt to exert more pressure on hips, shoulders, and other areas of the body than its softer counterparts. As a result, sleepers are more likely to toss and turn. Another study, however, found that a “pressure relief ” mattress did not induce better sleep than a conventional mattress. The best mattress is the one on which you feel

most comfortable.

Our concern is the total health of our patients. At YORK CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC, we take a complete look at the overall picture and formulate lifestyle changes that will help them maintain their health. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment and procedures – let us help you.

Please call 630.834.8536 to schedule an appointment. We’re located at 486 Spring Road, where our goal is to understand and meet your needs.

P.S. When shopping for a new mattress, bear in mind that there are no industry-wide standards about the definition of “firm,” “extra firm,” and other terms applied to mattresses.

Butterfield Park redevelopment The $1.69 million bid by Elanar Construction Co., of Chicago, for the Butterfield Park Redevelopment Project was approved by the Park Board at its May 11 meeting.

Construction on the project began in late June and will include the construction of a new universal playground, The Playground for Everyone, in addition to the $1.84 million planned park renovations.

To make way for The Playground for Everyone, the first step was removing the old playground equipment, which happened June 22, thanks to Kids Around the World, a non-profit agency that repurposes

playgrounds and rebuilds them in developing countries that do not have the resources to provide playgrounds on their own.

The Elmhurst Park District has worked with them previously to repurpose playground equipment from Wilder Park and Washington Park.

Highlights of the renovation project include improved water management with drainage planned at three ball fields, a new detention pond for rain collection during large rain events, new field backstops, tennis court resurfacing and new lighting, new pathways and amenities such as drinking fountains and accessible picnic areas.

The parking lot will be enlarged, repaved, and lighting replaced. In addition, the unused concession area of the small recreation building will be removed and additional green space added.

SPLINT DECISION

248451

A “crossbite” occurs when the upper teeth fall inside the lower teeth on one side when biting down. It is important to treat this type of malocclusion early because it can lead T. to premature tooth

by Jeffrey Boland wear, gum disease (including tooth Licensed Orthodontic Specialist loss), asymmetrical jaw development, dysfunctional chewing patterns, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. A crossbite may be corrected by placing braces on the upper teeth.

Otherwise, a device called a “palatal expander” can be placed in the upper jaw to spread the jaw and eliminate the crossbite. In addition, a customfit rubber mouthpiece known as a Bitesplint may be placed on the lower teeth. This appliance, which prevents the patient from biting completely, facilitates repositioning of the top teeth.

Malocclusions like a crossbite affect the way you smile, chew, clean your teeth, and feel about your smile. Ultimately, orthodontics does more than create a pretty smile – it creates a healthier you. To schedule a free orthodontic consultation, please call our office. Straighter Smiles Are Our Specialty!

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the condition or care of your appliances, please call! We would rather that you feel comfortable and assured that all is under control.

P.S. The orthodontic appliance known as a “palatal expander” not only corrects crossbites, but it also creates needed space for crowded teeth.

District 205 Board supports City’s efforts for storm water mitigation Won’t attend Communications meetings, citing ‘not an appropriate forum’

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

According to the Board Highlights newsletter from Elmhurst School District 205, the Board of Directors maintains its commitment to help the City while it discusses storm water mitigation, but no longer plans to send any representatives to the City’s Communications Committee meetings.

Board member John McDonough reiterated the Board’s intention to support the City and its residents in the pursuit of solutions for storm water mitigation. He explained that throughout the last two years of negotiations with the City of Elmhurst regarding storm water solutions, the District 205 Board has repeatedly noted that its core mission is education. It is willing to assist the City,

if and where possible, according to McDonough.

An Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) with the City has already been completed for the use of field space at the Madison Early Childhood Education Center. Another storm water agreement is in process for property at Bryan Middle School. That project, once completed, will provide one of the City’s largest retention sites, providing significant flood relief to that area of the community.

The Board determined last year that it would not consider other sites at this time, due to the commitment it has have made to finish the Madison and Bryan storm water projects, along with the priority to discuss with the City a new Tax Increment Financing (TIF) area in Elmhurst.

The District administration has also informed the City that the Board will also no longer attend the Communications Committee meetings. The School Board believes the meetings do not serve the purpose of informing the public, due to “significant differences of opinion,” and because the Board of Education feels the meetings are not appropriate forums to negotiate storm water management agreements.

The most substantive progress has been made is in meetings between the City Manager and District 205 Superintendent, along with their respective attorneys.

District 205 will continue to work together with the City through this approach to complete the Bryan agreement as soon as is reasonably possible.

Elmhurst art exhibit showcases Chicago-area artists Chicago-area artists are exhibiting some of their newest works in the Elmhurst Artists’ Guild Summer Member Show, running from July 3 through August 12 in the EAG Gallery at the Elmhurst Art Museum, 150 S. Cottage Hill Ave. in Wilder Park.

More than 50 entries in a wide array of form, style and media are on display.

Judging the show’s entries is performed by an outside Chicagoarea artist or gallery owner. Prizes are awarded during the reception.

“The breadth of styles and media included in the show results in dramatically different approaches to art, encompassing watercolors, ceramics, oils, acrylics, collages and photographs,” said Randy Irion, EAG President. “We are fortunate in having an excellent, permanent exhibit space in the Elmhurst Art Museum building, and this has helped to attract a high-caliber membership from the entire Chicago metropolitan area.”

Most of the artwork on display is for sale, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the Guild and the Elmhurst Art Museum.

The EAG gallery is not-for-profit, operated by the Elmhurst Artists’ Guild. It features original contemporary artworks in a variety of styles and media. In addition to four member shows each year, the guild hosts exhibitions of individual member’s artwork and invitational shows for significant local artists. Exhibits have been partially supported by grants from the Illinois Arts Council. More information is available at elmhurstartistsguild.org,

Slug wars: Fighting pests in my garden

nyone who gardens grapples with the reality of pests. Most often, pests want to eat your garden before you get the chance to do so yourself. Or, they destroy the prettiness of plants by chewing holes in leaves and such.

Pests are like a plague and a curse to gardeners everywhere.

My particular pest of choice is the common slug. Although I suppose I didn’t choose them; they chose me, or better put, my garden.

I have a host of hostas and slugs treat them like a smorgasbord. Typically, by mid-summer my garden is a regular slugfest. I’ve tried eliminating the slugs – or at least limiting their numbers – without much success. They can be voracious (and slimy) little invertebrates.

I read up on slug removal; you’d be surprised at the number of ways to thwart a slug. There are commercial products, which in some cases could be harmful to pets and other animals. I wanted to kill the slugs, not my cats.

You can get rid of slugs the old fashioned way – by picking them off the plants, but that’s rather tedious.

A similar technique involves placing a board (or other flat object) in the garden overnight. Slugs supposedly crawl under the object and you can remove the board – and slugs – in

the morning. Picking slugs off the ground involves touching them.

They are slimy. I’m no ghostbuster and try to reduce the slime in my life whenever possible.

Some experts advise putting down sharp groundcover around plants to repel (and probably puncture) the slugs. Crushed eggshells, diatomaceous earth or coffee grounds all do the trick. Trouble is, I have a lot of plants, and we don’t drink that much coffee. Plus, stabbing a slug seems painful (to the slug).

Slugs can be their own worst enemy. Some species are carnivorous.

My garden should be so lucky. My slugs seem more intent on breeding than eating one another. Hence my (over) population problem.

My research took a turn for the positive when I remembered a critical and game-changing fact about common, garden-variety backyard slugs: they love beer. They love it so much they will actually crawl into a

container of beer and drown not only their sorrows, but themselves.

True life can be weirder than fiction, especially if you are an inebriated slug.

As a gardening guru, I’d heard of this practice, but hadn’t ever tried it. It seemed like a waste of beer. I attempted the same technique with ginger ale once, thinking the sweet liquid might lure the slugs, but they are attracted to yeast, not sugar.

This year, I decided to tap the keg and see if an open bar would put an end to my slug-ish backyard buffet.

I got little plastic containers, poured in a couple ounces of beer and put them near the hostas.

What do you know? It worked.

The next morning I awoke to slugfilled cups. I also managed to save the life of a beetle that was frantically treading beer when I checked one container. Maybe beer has a more universal appeal than I thought.

And, if it can help me help my hostas, well, I’ll drink to that. (I just won’t be drinking beer. I’ve got to save that for the garden.)

Registration now open for second annual ‘Cue for a Cause’ rib competition On Sunday, Sept. 4, Elmhurst’s amateur grill masters will be gathering at the 2nd annual “Cue for a Cause,” trying to prove that their rib-making technique is the best around.

All those interested in taking up the challenge are invited to register to compete.

Last year’s winners, the Tuxedo Park Czars, are ready to defend their 2015 championship title of “Best Ribs in Elmhurst.” Leading the four-man team is Frank Pedote who says his whole crew will be out there again this year.

Frank does not profess to be a rib expert and has only been working on his smoking technique for three or four years. He said about their win: “It was funny. We were just there having fun.”

Nevertheless, the panel of judges put his team’s ribs on top.

The competition is open to anyone willing to test his or her barbecue chops. Last year’s competitors included a team of two high school students who ended up taking second place for best sauce.

Two all-female teams proved that men do not rule the backyard grill.

Pedote encourages other rib enthusiasts to give it a try. For those unsure whether they’re up to the task he advises, “Just do it. It’s a great day out there!”

“Cue for a Cause” is a major fundraiser for the Elmhurst WalkIn Assistance Network (formally known as the Elmhurst Walk-In Ministry). The organization provides financial assistance to members of the Elmhurst community undergoing difficult times.

The day will offer plenty for non-competitors as well. BBQ Jim’s will be selling its own award-winning barbecue—including ribs this year—to satisfy all those lured in by the smell of smoking meat.

To wash it down, beer and wine also will be for sale. The public has the opportunity to sample sauces and determine “The People’s Choice” prize winners for sauce. Live music, a bags tournament, raffles, and activities for kids will all make for a great day.

“As a first-year event, last year’s Cue “far exceeded our expectations,” said Jackie Crnkovich, executive director of EWAN. “Over 400 people came through and all seemed to have a great time.

We are anticipating more competitors this year and are planning for an even bigger and better event.”

To register to compete in the ‘Cue for a Cause or to learn more about EWAN, go to their website: www.ewanet.org.

This year marked the first time in the 31-year event history that a team raised over $20,000, with Team FITT-RX pulling in $21,861 and Elmhurst Bicycle Club raising an impressive $17,516 in their efforts. Team FITT-RX member Ken Wake repeated his efforts from 2015 to claim the title of Top Individual Fundraiser. Both local teams spent months fundraising and training to ride in the weekend cycling event to raise money for the American Lung Association. One of the Elmhurst Bicycle Club Team members, Ken Hickey, was a “virtual rider” as he rode 1,300 miles from Lombard to Colorado fundraising along the way. The Fight For Air Ride kicked off from McHenry County College in Crystal Lake and made its way to Fontana, Wis., ending at the Abbey Resort. Riders chose from the 2-day or 3-day option which routed cyclists from the college to Lake Geneva, around the lake and back to McHenry County College on Sunday.

On Saturday, June 18, the Elmhurst Park District broke ground on the Butterfield Park redevelopment project and the Playground for Everyone. Plans to redevelop Butterfield Park have been part of the District’s long-range plans, and included input from neighboring residents at multiple public meetings.

Estimated to cost approximately $1.8 million, improvements will include drainage throughout the park and under the ballfields, new backstops, new walking paths, tennis court resurfacing, new lighting, parking lot improvements with additional spaces and improved lighting, and the new playground.

“The playground component of the redevelopment has provided an opportunity to bring the entire community together,” said Park Board President Vince Spaeth, “committing to provide a fully accessible, universal playground that will benefit every child who plays there.”

Each year the Park District budgets approximately $350,000 to replace the oldest playground in the park system, but the cost for a universal playground reached an estimated $600,000.

The Park District partnered with

the People for Elmhurst Parks Foundation and Special Kids Day to raise the additional $250,000.

Support for the project was widespread.

Several community partner organizations and individuals donated.

An online crowdfunding campaign and a fundraiser held this past February helped the Park District further involve the community with this exciting project.

“The Playground for Everyone will become a place where all children, no matter their abilities, can play together, build friendships and have fun,” said Spaeth.

Several of the partnering organizations joined the Park Board for the ground breaking, including the Kiwanis Club of Elmhurst, Elmhurst Children’s Assistance Foundation, Kickoff for Kids, the Andi Stelzner Fund of the DuPage Foundation, Elmhurst Lions Club, Elmhurst Jaycees, Special Kids Day, Mobility Works, and the Conrad Fischer School Student Council & Girl Scouts.

Butterfield Park will be closed throughout the summer and will reopen with a grand opening event on Saturday, Nov. 5. The celebration is planned for noon and all are invited to attend.

Noted author to speak at Cantigny Park The First Division Museum at Cantigny Park welcomes author and military historian Dr. John C. McManus on Wednesday, July 6 at 7:30 p.m.

He will discuss “Hell Before Their Very Eyes,” his book about the American soldiers who liberated the Nazi concentration camps of World War II. The free program will be held at the Cantigny Park Visitors Center and all are invited. Parking also is complimentary for this event.

In his book, published in 2015, McManus sheds new light on this often-overlooked aspect of the Holocaust. Drawing on archival sources and thousands of firsthand accounts—including unit journals, interviews, oral histories, memoirs, diaries, letters and published recollections―“Hell Before Their Very Eyes” examines the horrific experience of entering the confines of Germany’s Ohrdruf, Buchenwald and Dachau camps in April 1945.

McManus visited Cantigny in 2014 to discuss “The Dead and Those About to Die,” his volume about the 1st Infantry Division’s heroic actions on D-Day. He is a prolific author and professor of military history at the Missouri University of Science and Technology. McManus earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Missouri and a Ph.D. in American and military history from the University of Tennessee.

Copies of “Hell Before Their Very Eyes” will be available for purchase in the Cantigny Shop the evening of July 6. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

A cash bar will accompany a limited food menu.

Coffee is complimentary.

This event is part of the First Division Museum’s Date with History, a monthly series featuring lively discussions with authors, panelists, historians and special guests. Information about upcoming programs is online at FirstDivisionMuseum.org.

Willis-backed measure to reduce libraries’ dependency on property taxes

Local libraries are one step closer to having cumbersome government restrictions lifted in pursuit of grant funding under a bill sponsored by state Rep. Kathleen Willis, D-Addison, heads to the governor’s desk.

“Local libraries are a vital resource to communities throughout our state,” said Willis. “They should have all the flexibility they can get when it comes to pursuing grant opportunities that will help them to continue to provide quality services to residents.”

Senate Bill 2255 eases govern-

ment mandates on local libraries when it comes to applying for the Public Library Per Capita Grant.

The grant program was established to assist public libraries to improve and increase library services within their service areas.

It requires the library district to maintain a certain percentage that it must tax local residents in order to receive the grant.

Willis’ legislation eases the percentage, resulting in the library not having to rely as heavily on rising property taxes in order to be eligible for the grant.

Manny’s Ale House is Elmhurst’s newest home for live entertainment. Two years after the purchase and re-branding of the Elmhurst Public House, the ownership has decided to add bands to their entertainment schedule. Known for their pub fare and an impressive craft beer selection, the addition of live music rounds out Manny’s entertainment offering, which includes karaoke on Friday nights.

Concussion Entertainment has resurfaced and taken over the talent buying for the venue. The booking/artist management company started in 2002 and has booked events all over the Chicagoland area. Metro, Double Door, and Beat Kitchen are some of the finest acts on its roster. They have been been hosting some popular cover bands as well as some Chicago blues.

Upcoming schedule: Saturday, July 9 - Whiskey Thunder Saturday, July 16 – SoulPatchMonkey Saturday, July 23 – Ed Burns Rhythm and Blues Review Saturday, July 30 – 80’s throwback party – Live DJ There’s never a cover charge. Visit www.mannysalehouse.com for more information.

Advocates for the legislation argue that as property taxes increase, even as home values decline, lifting this restriction on libraries will provide some relief and move the library away from being so property tax-reliant.

“We have a system where we are forcing taxing bodies to increase the burden on middle-class families, as opposed to finding smart and innovative funding solutions to provide relief,” said Willis.

Senate Bill 2255 is on the governor’s desk and upon receiving his signature will become law.

New Dukes girls basketball coach excited for opportunity Ely played collegiately at University of Chicago

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Hustling in the playoffs

CHRIS FOX Elmhurst Independent

An Elmhurst Baseball League Pony-Division White Sox runner comes in to score at Plunkett Park on Saturday, June 25. The Sox beat the Cardinals 25-2.

To say new York girls basketball coach Maggie Ely is excited about her new position would be a rather large understatement.

“I am thrilled,” she said late last week. “I’m so excited. I’m still coming down to Earth. York is a great school and Elmhurst is a great community. I’ve met a lot of great people so far. In the four short weeks I’ve been here people have been incredibly gracious. There is a high level of enthusiasm and the kids have been great.”

Ely grew up in northern New Jersey and attended Pascack Valley High School. “I went to a big public high school just like York,” she said.

Ely, a 2014 graduate of the University of Chicago, played collegiately for the Maroons.

She averaged 11.8 points in 2014 and ranks ninth all-time in program history in 3-point field-goal percentage.

Ely earned her master’s degree from Montclair State University in

Productive year for York boys volleyball team

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The York boys volleyball team had plenty to celebrate this spring.

The Dukes not only won 21 matches, but also won an IHSA boys volleyball regional championship.

Bobby Krissinger and Jake Wendell both earned all-West Suburban Conference Silver Division honors for their play.

Wendell led the team in kills with 253 and hit .339 on 499 attempts. He averaged 4.1 kills per set. Krissinger had 217 kills and hit .295 on 457 attempts. He averaged 3.3 kills per set. Andrew Lewand was third on the team in kills with

97 and hit .321 on 193 attempts.

Michael Pennel had 65 kills and hit .290.

York hit .283 as a team.

At the service line, Rio Diaz led the team with 15 aces. AJ Weber had 14 aces, while Wendell had 12 aces and sophomore Zach Hughart had 11 aces.

Weber was the team leader in serving accuracy at 97 percent. He had only eight errors in 269 service attempts. He also led the team with 123 service points. Diaz was second with 110 points. Krissinger made only 12 errors in 197 attempts and scored 75 points. As a team, York served at a 90.2 percent clip.

Lewand led the team with 72

total blocks. Krissinger added 54 blocks, while Pennel had 48 blocks.

Weber was tops on the team in digs with 172. Hughart had 155 digs, while Krissinger had 111 digs.

Wendell finished with 91 digs and Jake Privett had 89 digs.

Diaz, a junior setter, led the team with 484 assists. John Goehl had 182 assists. Diaz had 1,199 ball handling attempts and made only 45 errors.

Wendell and Weber were the team leaders in serve-receive. Wendell had 285 service receptions with only 11 errors, while Weber had 283 receptions with only 10 errors.

York boys volleyball players also excelled in the classroom with

seven players earning all-WSC Silver Division academic honors. That list included Krissinger, Wendell, Gordon Johnson, Danny Bolivar, Lewand, Weber and Privett.

Elmhurst Lacrosse update As a follow-up to last week’s story in the Independent on Elmhurst Lacrosse, the organization reported it had more than 250 kids in the program this year.

Also, Elmhurst Lacrosse collected more than 600 pounds of food for a local food pantry at its annual Kings of Spring tournament event.

This was the sixth year Elmhurst Lacrosse has held its Kings of Spring event.

New Jersey.

“I have been anxiously awaiting moving back to Chicago,” she said.

That opportunity occurred when a friend talked to her about York. “A friend of mine’s kids went through York,” she said. “I’ve been researching great districts in the Chicago area and had my eye on York for a long time. It’s an exceptional community and district. I found out about the job and applied right away. I jumped right on it. Rob Wagner (York athletic director) is wonderful and is extremely supportive of the girls’ basketball program and the girls themselves. He advocates for them.

He’s been incredible in the short time I’ve been here.”

Ely previously coached at Saddle River Day school in New Jersey under her mentor Denny Brown.

“We had a pretty successful season,” said Ely of this 2015-2016 campaign. “Danny has been a great mentor to me. I’ve known him for 10-plus years now. I went home to get my master’s degree and was able to coach there for a year-and-a-half and got some great hands-on experience.”

Ely will be an instructional aide in the York special education department. Her long-term goal is to be a counselor.

As far as her coaching style, Ely said it all starts with connecting with the players. “I want to have a great relationship with the kids,” she said.

“I always responded well to coaches who invested in me and my team.

That kind of solid trust and relationship is what I’m looking for. The kids need to see the commitment from the coaching staff in order to buy in to the system. Basketball should be hard and competitive but at the same time it should be a lot of fun. I want to establish deep ties and form solid relationships with the players and their families. I look forward to working with our kids here.”

Ely also is excited about working with varsity assistant coach Sam Arnold, a Lake Park High School graduate and a 6-4 forward who played collegiately at Division I Michigan.

“Sam has been great,” said Ely. “Sam and I are on the same level when it comes to establishing and building relationships with the girls.”

tournament. “Lucas and Jacob had a very nice season together,” said York coach Tres Heimann. “Lucas had an excellent career as a three-year varsity player and a four-year player in the program. His nickname is ‘The Magician’ because he was able to come up with some great shots that you didn’t think he could make. Jacob has tremendous upside and will look to improve on this year’s totals in the coming years.”

Wit finished his freshman season with 19 wins. Gough ended his high-school career with 16 wins this spring and sported a career threeyear varsity record of 62-40.

York boys basketball team progressing during summer

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

York boys basketball coach Vince Doran is making the most out of the team’s summer season.

“We’ve done really well in the shootouts we’ve played in,” he said.

“We have a good group of guys returning. We’re blending youth and experience. Trap (Nick Trapani) and Jordan (Gray) are seniors and we’re playing a lot of sophomores. Nick (Kosich) and Erik (Cohn) both are back and we are playing a couple more sophomores who might come up. We have a good mix of kids.”

York wraps up play in the Riverside-Brookfield summer league this week. The Dukes also have played in shootouts at Joliet West, R-B and Ridgewood. York went to the Illinois Wesleyan team camp this past weekend.

“We’ve really improved as the summer has gone on,” said Doran. “From the beginning of summer to now we are seeing a lot of progress both as individuals and as a team.”

Doran is using the summer to get this year’s group used to playing with each other.

“I don’t place too much value on wins and losses in the summer,” he said. “We’ve certainly won more than we have lost. One of the things with summer ball is it’s a lot different than the regular season. We lost a lot of re-

ally good seniors. It’s nice to have this time to work with the younger guys and with the returning guys. We have some good seniors returning and Nick Kosich started most of the year as a freshman. We’re putting everybody together. Chemistry is important as it always is.”

Junior Angelo Martucci also is back for the Dukes. “Angelo played as a sophomore,” said Doran. “We have a nice mix of classes. Jordan and Trap are really good seniors. Angelo is very consistent for us and Kosich and Cohn are two more talented guys. They all have played good during the summer and we have a couple other sophomores we think will be able to contribute.”

Doran is optimistic about this group’s potential. “We’re pretty young overall, but we do have experience back,” he said. “There is a lot of upside when you have a lot of young kids.

The ceiling is much higher. That’s the case here. It’s just a matter of how quickly the younger guys catch on. I like what I’ve seen so far.”

Doran noted the team has packed plenty into the month of June. “We use all 25 contact days in June,” he said.

“It’s been an extremely busy month.

The kids will have some time off here the rest of the summer to do what they want in July and August and then we’ll see them back in school and get ready to go for the season.”

The excitement builds at Timothy Christian

Timothy Christian Schools was scheduled to hold a groundbreaking ceremony for its Project IMPACT earlier this week. Project IMPACT includes the construction of a new junior high school and a new athletics arena on the Timothy campus. The athletics arena will seat 1,200 people and features a 94-foot competition court for game nights and two 94-foot courts oriented sideways for practices, summer leagues and tournaments. The school is hopeful it will be able to host IHSA regional and sectional competitions in the new facility. The Independent will have a full update on the project and the groundbreaking ceremony in next week’s paper.

Park District administrative office to receive exterior improvements At its May 25 meeting, the Park Board approved a bid of $63,800 from Professional Paving and Concrete Co., Inc. of Glen Ellyn to redesign the front entrance stairway at the Park District Administrative Office in order to increase accessibility and safety, and to repair the sidewalks and driveway entrances on First Street.

This improvement project also will include paving the visitor parking spots directly across from the front entrance along the train tracks.

Make eye contact. Smile. Hold a door. Show respect, compassion, and trust. Those tiny actions are indeed huge. We can turn the tide, one tiny act at a time. Let’s start now.

feel avenged. He deserved to die, didn’t he?

We are wonderful armchair quarterbacks. We play judge, jury, and God all in one tweet. But is hate the answer? Does that stop the cycle? I shudder to think that there will be a new headliner atrocious event before this goes to print and our attention will be on yet another tragedy. But we know that to be the case.

Hate breeds hate. Fear breeds fear.

Distrust breeds distrust. No argument there. So why can’t it also be true that listening breeds listening?

Love breeds love. Calm breeds calm.

The very smallest of effort can have a ripple effect. Instead of joining the throngs of hate talk, I can stay quiet. I can simply send loving calm energy to all those who feel lost. I know that is why we join together in these discussions, online and offline.

We seek comfort and answers.

The monsters have come out from under the bed and they are real and they hurt people. We feel a sense of panic, just like the little kid who is afraid of the monsters in the closet.

There is no reasoning with that child in that moment. Talk is futile. So what do you do? You simply hold your little one and quietly stroke their hair and calm them. Words don’t sway in this case. It is the quiet calming energy that shifts the mood and chases the fear away.

The state of the world may seem like chaos but we can chase the fear away. Instead of talking ourselves in circles, let us seek calm. Let us seek not to be up in arms, but to have outstretched arms. So many feel lost

Asked what top things homeowners like the least about Elmhurst, the replies were 1) taxes; 2) storm water management; 3) cost of living; 4) traffic congestion; and, 5) airplane noise.

As City Council begins the 2017 budget discussions, the survey will be used as a guideline for decisions to be made not only for next year, but also for the five-year Capital Plan, Grabowski said.

Yes, call me a simpleton, but join in this experiment. No need for words.

Tiny actions of compassion and caring are how we can soothe each other. That is how we once again believe in our fellow man.

aybe I’m a simpleton, but I still profess love is the answer. In the face of tragedy, terror, and events I cannot fathom or even begin to try to or want to understand, I do know that my response is up to me. That power can never be taken away. My reaction is always my choice.

I don’t know how to solve the problems of this world. I only know that I do not have to add to them. I don’t have to relentlessly talk about the madness. Rehashing the horrible events that occur does nothing to add new insight. There is never a satisfying “answer” to why someone would rape, murder, or hate.

The background of such a person can be said in one word: disturbed.

Something is not right within them; end of discussion. A privileged white male horrifically rapes a young woman. Oh, have you forgotten about that already in the wake of the Orlando nightclub attack? What about the shooting at UCLA? Or the Paris attack? Or….. no need to go on. One tragic event usurps the limelight of the previous one and we are off and running to argue and debate the next topic of the moment.

We all agree that raping and killing and hating is wrong, yet we hate the attackers. We do. We hate. We stay in the energy of hate. Certainly the terrorists know that. They count on it. Fear and hate are more powerful than any gun or weapon.

With all the uproar on social media every time a new event takes center stage, the rhetoric is still the same. We want to tar and feather the bad guy. Somebody done somebody wrong so now let me go kill him and make it “right”. Many times the bad guy blows himself up too or the police kill him, so we are happy. We
