PAS Committee approves $50,000 grant to American Legion By Dan McLeister FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

The Public Affairs and Safety (PAS) Committee has proposed a $50,000 grant to the Elmhurst American Legion Post 187. The funds would be used for a Military Ball event scheduled on Saturday, September 10, and for their Thanksgiving Dinner for recruits at Great Lakes Naval Base. The grant to the non-profit entity of the Legion was proposed by Norman Leader (2nd Ward) and Mark Mulliner (7th Ward) to help support the Legion after the City Council voted not to allow video gaming by the American Legion. All three members of the PAS Committee, Chris Healy (5th Ward) chairman, Leader and Dannee Polomsky (3rd Ward) voted in favor of the request. The event request from the American Legion is different from other community grant requests, said Healy. “The organization’s mission is significantly different than other organizations in town. The two events will put the City in a positive light.” In addition to serving active and former servicemen and women, Healy noted that the Legion supports the greater community with scholarships and several other youth and adult services. “Granting the American Legion these funds will show support for active and formal military personnel, and help the Post continue to provide services in our community,” he said. “The two events will help the Post reach their organization goals, including the pursuit of

new members; particularly younger, recently discharged members of the military.”

The grant request came after the City Council voted unanimously on November 23, 2015, to add $50,000 to the 2016 budget to

help support the American Legion Post 187, which is facing a shortage of funds. Council was told that the PAS Committee would review any request to disperse the money before it was given to the organization. The PAS Committee spent several meetings reviewing and

discussing this request. The proposal will be discussed further at a future City Council meeting. The Military Ball will be held at the American Legion Post home at 310 W. Butterfield Road. Members of the community will be able to attend this event, which will show-

case the Legion and its facility. According to Commander John Scudder, the event will include dinner, time-honored military traditions and live music by the Elmhurst College jazz band. Scudder thanked PAS Committee members and City staff for their work.

From China to South Dakota…

Kate Stalker on a mission to help less fortunate children

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Nine-year-old Kate Stalker is an Elmhurst resident, but was born in China. It seems hard to believe that Kate could develop a close connection with a completely different cultural environment in the heart of the state of South Dakota, 6,147 miles away from her homeland. Along with her mother Heather Stalker, Kate has been collecting new and used backpacks to be shipped to the Pine Ridge Reservation, following a recent visit there. At that time, the Stalkers were delivering much-needed shoes to Pine Ridge when they met Angie Stover, a Sioux Indian Administrator of Aid on the Reservation. There was an instant connection. Even though more than 6000 miles separate their birthplaces, Angie and Kate, two racially-unique partners, came together to focus on helping school children better prepare for a good education by providing them with free school backpacks. Kate promised to make it her mission to gather and send the backpacks, once she returned to Elmhurst. Kate is currently collecting new or used backpacks to be shipped to the Reservation. Her goal is collect 100 backpacks by the end of August. Please help Kate by dropping off any new or used backpack at Elmhurst Photo Boutique, 535 Spring Rd.

SUBMITTED PHOTO Elmhurst Independent

Pictured between Heather (left) and 9-year-old Kate Stalker is Angie Stover, a Sioux Indian Administrator of Aid with the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Kate is collecting backpacks to send to the children there. To help her cause, please bring new and used backpacks to Elmhurst Photo Boutique, 535 Spring Rd. before Aug. 31.

Pictured here at last year’s competition is Team Kinsella, a group of Elmhurst residents who cooked up ribs all day and ended up taking first place in People’s Choice. Pictured are (from left) Rosie, 4, (in front), Maura Kinsella, Tom Kinsella and Nancy Kinsella, all of Elmhurst. The second annual Cue for a Cause takes place Sunday, September 4.

If you missed last year’s “’Cue for a Cause,” you missed a great deal of pageantry and showmanship on display as competitors brought their own kind of flourish to the fundraiser for the Walk-In Assistance Network, formerly the Elmhurst Walk-In Ministry. Oh, you missed some good ribs, too. On Sunday, September 4, Elmhurst’s very own ribs fest returns to the parking lot at York & Vallette behind the Knights of Columbus from 12 noon to 8 p.m. Judges include business and community leaders, including Elmhurst Mayor Steve Morley. It’s not too late to sign up to compete, if you think your ribs could win the prize for Best Ribs in Elmhurst. To take part, register online at ewanet.org. If you’re not a competitor, just show up for the ribs. Enjoy award-winning barbecue throughout the day and wait for the winners to be selected. There will be live music, sauce-tasting and entertainment for the whole family. All proceeds go to assist Elmhurst families in need through the Elmhurst Walk-In Assistance Network. For more information, visit elmhurstwalkinministry.org/Barbecue or call 630-782-6006.

t’s over. The wedding. My daughter and her new husband tied the knot last Saturday in a whirlwind weekend of near perfection. The loving couple has been preparing for this for over a year. They were kind enough to allow me to enjoy an active role in the process. I am a planner by nature; my daughter inherited the planning gene. An upcoming wedding is pretty much the epitome of joy for planful persons like us. We dove into the process with gung ho glee. This daughter-mother duo had todo lists. And lists of our lists. And sometimes lists of the secondary lists, or lists of each other’s lists. We even learned to take photos of our lists so we wouldn’t have to worry about the unlikely (but horrifying) possibility of misplacing or losing one.

The day after By

JILL PERTLER Contributor

There were spreadsheets of invitations sent, wedding registry items, meal choices and anything else we thought might fit on a spreadsheet. We created the décor. Chose napkin colors. Designed programs and invites. Perused the web looking for dresses and cake flavors. Secured something old, new, borrowed and even blue. We had meetings with florists, musicians, the pastor and other nuptial aficionados. We scheduled dates for showers and bridal parties and myriad other wedding-related

events. It consumed our days for months; each one was a 24-hour planning opportunity and we were in our glory. We welcomed our roles as wedding plan warriors. No job, no detail was too big or too small. We took on daunting tasks and embraced the insignificant. From tulle and flowers at the church to cupcakes in our freezer, we had it covered from veil to bustle to garter. It occupied our time and creative energy and became a priority over other regular mundane and menial activities. Weeds overtook the garden. Decluttering the basement could wait. We had important things to do. We had a wedding to plan! At first, it seemed the date was eons in the future. We counted down: the number of months until the wedding. Then the weeks. And then we were counting the days.

From time to time my husband expressed bewilderment at our vigor and busyness. As we got nearer to the date, our preparedness took on a new level of frenzy and he was even more perplexed. “You’ve been planning for months,” he said. “It seems like you should be done by now.” He didn’t understand the universal law of prepping for a big event: the closer you get, the more the activity level amplifies. Then we drafted him into service. For the two days prior to the ceremony we kept him busy 24/7 and his steadfast and faithful hands-on experience converted him to the cause. And then the big day came. And went. And now it’s over. And I’m not sure what to do. Oh, there’s a certain amount of residual clean up to occupy me for a short while. But I’m so used to being terribly busy with the notion of

planning for the Very Big Day that regular life is going to feel peculiar for a while. My daughter forgot a few things here at home and seeing her shoes or a jacket or her halffilled coffee cup from the morning before the wedding feels peculiar as well because soon they will be gone. She moved away during college, but this is different and permanent and it feels that way. But I’ll adapt. We all do. This will soon be our new normal. And before long I’ll find things to plot and plan. Like weeding the garden and cleaning out the basement with my newest planning partner and convert.

The saga of selling houses, evaluating what you want, and doing that

s I wrote previously, we listed our house and it “sold” in nine days. They were not contingent on selling a home, only on getting financing. I was happy because they were only the second people to look and now I didn’t have to keep the place show ready at all times. We didn’t have to do an open house. All we had to do was find a house. The short version of the long story is that we found a condo and the sellers there agreed to the quick closing date that our buyer wanted. So the sifting and sorting and releasing of stuff began. (You can read my past musings on my website.) Last week, a week before our set closing

date, the buyer’s deal fell through. Thud. Some people know me as the “joy lady.” It is a reputation I enjoy and usually embody. But I am human. I am not always a peach. My realtor will attest to that. (But she is the type of person who wouldn’t.) It took me a day to get over my upset and regain my equilibrium. There was no point in snapping at my realtor. (There never is a point to snapping at anyone, but it happens.) When the initial surprise and disappointment dissipated, my prince and I used the new situation as a chance to evaluate again what we really wanted. Options were abundant. (They al-

ways are, even when we are blind to them.) Did we want to stay in our joy house? We had no buyer now. We could stay put. The masses (friends, family, acquaintances, Facebookers, garage salers) seemed to lament the fact that we were giving up our fabulous retreat here. Again I had to ask myself if I was nuts to leave this place. Nuts or not,

we again confirmed we were ready for the next stop on our joy journey. Onward. Because of our deal falling through on the house, we had an out to not go through with the purchase of the condo. More discussion. Is this what we want? A condo, that particular condo? Find something else? Go off to France and deal with it when we got back? We opted to carry on with that purchase. We want ease, and a little pond with nature in the backyard, not a stereotypical condo environment. By the time you read this, we will have closed on that purchase. That too seems to have disappointed some people.

Folks assumed we were selling to either move out of country or out of state or go be vagabond gypsies. We considered all of the above. We decided to do what felt right for us for right now. Duh. And what about getting a B&B? For now, that is not right. It does not feel easy to me, and the word ease is my guiding light at this point in time. I liked the idea of an inn because I love pretty places, I love to decorate, and I love to meet new people. I don’t have to run a B&B to have that. We also love being able to go and do what we want, when we want. That holds a stronger appeal. Our ultimate desire is to enjoy life. My motto still is let it be easy. We trust everything will all fall into place. It always does. This house is back on the market and there is a showing tomorrow. Maybe by the time this hits print, we will have a new contract on our house. Fingers crossed. Let it be easy. Kelly Epperson Simmons is good at packing.

York grad has his pick of colleges Josh Hovance begins career at the U.S. Naval Academy By Marisa Mancini FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Recent York High School graduate Josh Hovance has much to be proud of. His stellar academic record along with his dedication to community service has led to his acceptance to three military academies – the U.S. Air Force Academy, the Coast Guard Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy. Additionally, Josh was offered full tuition scholarships to the University of Florida and Tulane University, as well as a National Navy and Air Force ROTC scholarship to Vanderbilt. Faced with options many a senior would dream of, Josh selected the U.S. Naval Academy, a prestigious four-year service academy that prepares midshipmen morally, mentally and physically to be professional officers in service to the U.S. Navy. The decision was easy for Josh. He knew after attending the Air Force and Naval Academy summer seminar at the end of his junior year that was where he belonged. Each year, the Naval Academy selects approximately 1,200 candidates for its “plebe” or freshman class. On June 30, Josh was inducted into the Naval Academy class of 2020 and began six challenging weeks of basic midshipman training as part of Plebe Summer. During this time, Josh has no access to television, movies, the internet or music, and restricted access to cell phones. He will only be permitted to make three calls during the six weeks of Plebe Summer. The pressure and rigor of Plebe Summer is carefully designed to help Josh and his classmates prepare for their first academic year at the Naval Academy and the four years of challenge, which awaits them. As the summer progresses, Josh will learn basic skills in seaman-

ship, navigation, damage control, sailing, and handling yard patrol craft. He will also learn infantry drills and how to shoot 9 mm pistols and M-16 rifles. Other daily training sessions involve moral, mental, physical or professional development and team-building skills. Activities include swimming, martial arts, basic rock climbing, obstacle, endurance and confidence courses. Forty hours are devoted to the instruction of infantry drill and five formal parades. More than 4,400 men and women representing every state in the U.S. and several foreign countries make up the student body, known as the Brigade of Midshipmen. Midshipmen learn from military and civilian instructors and participate in intercollegiate varsity sports and extracurricular activities. Josh will pursue a degree in engineering, but will also take courses in leadership, ethics, small arms, seamanship and navigation tactics, naval engineering and weapons, and military law. Upon graduation, Josh will serve at least five years of service as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine Corps.

CHIROPRACTIC

Enhancing the health of your family by Dr. Noelle O’Connor

FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

A release was recently issued by the Elmhurst District 205 Board of Education to announce the appointments of two assistant principals. Ryan Doherty was promoted to assistant principal for Curriculum and Instruction at York High School. Prior to serving as English Department chair for two years at York, Doherty taught in the English Department and chaired the Theatre Department at Metea Valley High School, helping to open the new Indian Prairie District 204 school in August of 2009. He also served as an English teacher and department liaison at Waubonsie Valley High School in District 204 from 2001 to 2009. A former professional musical theatre actor, Doherty holds a BA in Vocal Performance/Musical Theatre from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana (1993); a BA in English Education from Northern Illinois University (2001); and a Masters in Educational Administration from Aurora University (2006). He is pursuing a Master of Science from the University of St. Francis to become a Reading Specialist. He is also a National Board Certified Teacher in English/Language Arts.

He holds a Bachelor of Science in Education from Northern Illinois University (2011) and a Masters in Education Organization and Leadership from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana (2016). He is a member of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Over the summer, Riordan was co-coordinator of summer school at Fischer Elementary School.

We want to print your news!

When a person’s posture is “neutral,” the three curves of the spine (cervical, thoracic, and lumbar) help the body absorb stresses and the impacts of daily activities. Unfortunately, ideal posture is the exception, rather than the rule. As a result of poor posture, strain in the muscles at the back of the head, neck, upper back, and jaw can lead to increased pressure on nearby nerves that trigger “tension” (muscle spasm) headaches. In addition, muscle weakness/ tightness/imbalances; poor flexibility; and misalignment of the hips, knees, and feet can lead to lower-body problems such as patellofemoral pain and plantar fasciitis. By correcting posture and getting to the source of these (and other) problems, the chiropractor can alleviate many painful symptoms.

Incorrect posture puts pressure on your vertebrae, ultimately causing discs to become compressed and making you vulnerable to back pain. Good posture, on the other hand, can make you feel good. At YORK CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC, the chiropractic approach to better health is to locate and remove spinal dysfunction and nerve interference, returning the body to its natural state of health and wellness. We’re located at 486 Spring Road. Please call 630.834.8536 to schedule an appointment. “Enhancing the health of your family.”

P.S. Rotator cuff pain may stem from muscle tightness, weakness, or imbalances associated with poor posture that cause tendons in the rotator cuff to become irritated.

Participants line up for the start of the Run for Hunger 5K that took place near Yorkfield Presbyterian Church on July 17. After the 5K, there was to be a Kids Fun Run, but it had to be cancelled due to inclement weather.

Run for Hunger 5K draws 265 Weather cancels Kids Fun Run for 40 registrants

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

On July 17, the annual Run for Hunger 5k and Kids Fun Run took place at Yorkfield Presbyterian Church, drawing 265 participants in the 5K. There were 40 kids registered for the Kids Fun Run but sadly, it had to be cancelled due to the weather. The lion’s share of proceeds will benefit the Elmhurst / Yorkfield Food Pantry. Some proceeds will be contributed to three food pantries located in Villa Park and Lombard -- Disciples Food Pantry, Hand and Hand Food Pantry, and Community Table.

(Left) Or is it ‘a peel?’ Costumes are optional at the Run for Hunger 5K, but it’s always fun to see those who get into the spirit, like this man dressed in a banana suit.

(Below) Pictured is the first wave of runners who took part in the Run for Hunger 5K on July 17. The race drew at least 265 racers and 40 kids who were disappointed when the weather forced the Kids Fun Run to cancel.

FITT-RX In May 2012, Jill Giorno and

Jennifer Knuth decided to join forces and open a fitness studio in Elmhurst, FITT-RX. They had one mission in mind: maintain a commitment to prescribe the best workouts to help people achieve their fitness goals. Jill and Jennifer strongly believe in supporting their community. They helped found The Elmhurst Wellness Team, which Jennifer serves as treasurer and Jill as chair of marketing. Jennifer has been part of The Elmhurst Women’s Junior Club since 2008. Jill has been a Girl Scout leader for her daughter’s troop for the past six years, and is currently a co-chair for the

running club at her children’s school. Along with their active roles in these organizations, they have hosted several fundraisers to support local charities such as a Fashion Show to raise money for the No Frills Fun Run (a local non-for-profit charity). These women have contributed a significant amount of time and money to organizations on a National level as well. Last year FITT-RX’s “Fight for Air Ride” team earned an Impact Award from The American Lung Association. The Fight for Air Ride is an annual cycling event held in Northern Illinois riding 100 miles in two days to raise money for the American Lung Associa-

tion. FITT-Rx has raised more than $50,000 since the team was formed in 2014, with 2016 setting an event and team record $21,000+ in donations. In early 2016, FITT-RX was selected to participate in the Goldman Sachs “10,000 Small Business Program.” This pro-

gram enabled FITT-RX to surround themselves with other entrepreneurs eager to drive economic growth in their community. They were honored and privileged to represent a femaleowned, small business of Elmhurst. In Jill’s spare time, she loves

spending time with her son, daughter, husband, and dog, Sonny. Jennifer enjoys time with her four boys, husband, and two dogs. If they are not hanging with their families, you can catch them on the ice with their Women’s Ice Hockey team based out of Elmhurst.

There are exciting things happening in the world of women as entrepreneurs. Women have become a dominant force in small business ownership and succeeding in industries that were once considered “a man’s world.” Women: not just starting business, but staying in business According to the U.S. Department of Labor, between 1997 and 2006, businesses fully women-owned, or majority-owned by women, grew at nearly twice the rate of all U.S. firms (42.3% vs. 23.3%). During this same time period, employment among women-owned firms grew 0.4%, and annual sales grew 4.4%. In 2006, reports on women-owned (or majority owned by women) in the United States indicated the following statistics: • There were an estimated 10.4 million privatelyheld firms; • This accounted for two in five (40.2%) of all businesses in the country; and • These firms generated $1.9 trillion in annual sales and employed 12.8 million people nationwide. Top high-paying jobs for women According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, some of the best careers that offer high salaries for women lie in the fields of healthcare, law and business management. A list was developed of the highest earning occupations for women, based on median weekly wages: 1. Pharmacist -- Female pharmacists make a median amount of $1,898 per week, or $98,696 per year.

2. Lawyer -- Female lawyers earn a median income of $1,631 per week, or $84,812 per year. 3. Computer Information Systems Manager -Female IT managers earn a median of $1,543 per week, or $80,236. 4. Physician -- Female physicians earn a median of $1,527 per week, or $79,404. 5. C.E.O. -- Female chief executives bring in a median of $1,464 per week, or $76,128. 6. Registered Nurse -- Female nurses bring in a median of $1,034 per week, or $53,768. 7. Accountant -- Female accountants can expect to earn a median income of $956 per week, or $49,712. 8. Elementary or Middle School teacher -- Female teachers earn a median of $933 per week, or $48,516. 9. Human Resources Professional -- Female human resources employees earn a median of $912 per week, or $47,424. 10. Designer – This includes interior decorators, graphic designers, stylists, fashion or jewelry designers, or artists. Women working in the design industry earn a median of $816 per week, or $42,432.

ACS wig boutiques seek volunteers Five locations available, including one at Elmhurst Hospital

By Jane Charmelo

FOR THE INDEPENDENT

The American Cancer Society (ACS) offers many forms of support for patients, families and caregivers who are dealing with a cancer diagnosis, and one of the ways the society can help is to provide wigs for women who anticipate losing—or have already lost—their hair due to the effects of radiation and/or chemotherapy. According to Kelly Perez, program manager, Mission Delivery, the ACS has six wig boutiques in the area where patients can go to get fitted for a wig with the help of compassionate, dedicated volunteers. She said there is a wig boutique in Will County serving the Edward Hospital-Plainfield campus area, as well as five in DuPage County: at the ACS location in Oakbrook Terrace, the Nancy Knowles Cancer Center at Elmhurst Hospital, Wellness House in Hinsdale, Northwestern Medicine

in Warrenville and DuPage Medical Group in Lisle. A Downers Grove location, at the Advocate Good Samaritan Cancer Care Center, is temporarily on hold until facility construction is completed, Perez mentioned. How it works… How it works is a patient contacts the ACS at its National Cancer Information Center, or NCIC, which is a “24/7, 365-day resource,” Perez emphasized, adding that a resource specialist works with the patient to make an appointment at the wig boutique closest to her residence. “We see patients at all ends of their journey,” Perez commented, meaning that some women look into getting fitted for a wig in anticipation of losing their hair, while others are already going through that loss. She said dedicated volunteers at the wig boutiques give the patient “an opportunity to come in and try on some wigs.” PHOTO COURTESY OF THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY Perez said the wigs are typically synthetic, but some are made of hu- Pictured is an American Cancer Society (ACS) staff person instructing a volunteer about the wigs availman hair.

at the Nancy Knowles Cancer Center at Elmhurst Hospital. Once trained, the volunteers can help cancer patients find the right wig for their needs. Volunteers are especially needed in Elmhurst and in Warrenville.

Grim news about manufacturing jobs in Illinois Report indicates loss of 1200 jobs in June; another 600 layoffs expected

BY ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK

While Illinois saw some gains in employment last month, its manufacturing sector is still bleeding jobs. The June ADP regional employment report shows Illinois added 7,400 jobs in June, but lost 1,200 manufacturing, mining and construction jobs. In another blow to Illinois’ blue-collar sector, employers announced another 600 planned layoffs under a state law requiring notice of mass firings. Illinois Manufacturers Association Vice President Mark Denzler

said Illinois’ manufacturers are leaving for greener pastures. “Illinois is losing manufacturing jobs while our neighbors in Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan continue to grow manufacturing jobs,” he said. Denzler said the jobs that are being eliminated are the lifeblood of Illinois’ middle class, and that the average manufacturing job in Illinois averages $70,000 annually in wages and benefits. Illinoisans need to remember what each lost job represents, he said. “Every one of these jobs lost

has an impact to a family,” he said. “Whether it’s the husband or wife, it impacts that family and their kids. It effects whether they can go on vacation or send their kids to college.” Illinois needs to enact reforms to worker’s compensation laws and property tax relief to keep employers and attract new ones, according to Denzler. ADP’s report shows the Midwest region gained 32,000 jobs last month. Illinois’ manufacturing sector didn’t see any net changes in the May report. Illinois’ Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification report lists announced layoffs from all sectors,

DuPage County earns national achievement award for Vactor Receiving Station DuPage County has been recognized with an Achievement Award from the National Association of Counties (NACo). County Board Member Jim Healy (District 5), chairman of the County’s Public Works Committee, was presented the award last week at NACo’s annual conference. The awards honor innovative, effective county government programs that enhance services for residents. NACo recognized the County’s Vactor Receiving Station, a shared services initiative that reduces the cost of disposal of public works

waste and debris and aims to keep pollutants out of area water supplies. The station provides a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly method for waste processing, and ensures that liquid runoff is treated through the wastewater treatment plant. Currently, the station is used by seven municipalities and three contractors. DuPage won the NACo Award in the category of ‘County Resiliency: Infrastructure and Sustainability.’ “We are honored to receive such prestigious recognition from our peers in County government,” County Board Chairman Dan Cronin

said. “The Vactor Receiving Station is another example of how shared services can provide real savings, an essential part of DuPage County’s ACT initiative, which aims to make local government as efficient as possible.” “The Vactor Receiving Station is not only environmentally-friendly, but provides cost savings to DuPage County and to our municipalities,” said Healy. “I’m thrilled that DuPage is recognized for our efforts to answer a community need, share resources and save taxpayers money while preserving our environment.”

not just manufacturing. The law requires employers with at least 75 employees to give 60 days notice

some can be sized, she emphasized, and are free to the patient. The manager said the visit takes about an hour, and the trained volunteer works with the patient to find the right fit—not just in terms of size but color and style. “Our end goal is to find something for the patient when they come in that day,” she related, adding that if need be, “Sometimes we’ll look to find another appropriate option for the patient.” According to Perez, there are about 25 volunteers working at these boutiques, but more are needed. Volunteers should have a “flair for hair” Amy Jo Steinbruecker, communications manager, Division Communications, stated in a news release that the ACS is looking for “compassionate persons with a flair for hair,” although she and Perez indicated that volunteers need not have a cosmetology license, but that is a plus. Sometimes the volunteer is someone who is a cancer survivor, knows someone with cancer or is/has been a caregiver. Perez said the ACS is looking for individuals who can dedicate time on a regular, routine basis, and who are “compassionate about helping

people with a cancer diagnosis.” Steinbruecker noted that volunteers are needed particularly at the Elmhurst and Warrenville locations. Perez explained that a new volunteer is paired with a current wig boutique volunteer “to have them observe a few appointments.” “We want to assure they are 100 percent comfortable to work with a patient on their own,” she continued, adding that potential volunteers spend an average of two visits observing. Once an individual becomes a volunteer, that person becomes “a support for the patient during that wig-fitting opportunity,” the manager said. She believes volunteers benefit from the experience in that it is “a way for them to give back,” and at the same time, “truly help people during a really vulnerable time in their journey.” From her own observations, Perez has seen how “that connection patient and volunteer make is really life-changing,” especially when the patient finds the right fit for her circumstances. To inquire about becoming a volunteer, or to find out more about the wig boutiques, call 800-227-2345.

Letting you focus on what’s most important to you... We’ll take care of the rest.

Good luck to everyone heading back to school this week!

Start the school year safely

County encourages residents to sign up for Smart911 As families check off items on their back-toschool lists, DuPage County and your public safety first responders urge them to remember one important safety step for the year ahead: Smart911. Smart911 is a free public safety service that automatically displays essential information to 911 dispatchers when an emergency call is placed. Users create an online safety profile that provides household information about family members, home, pets and vehicles. The profile can contain any information that may be needed in an emergency, including address, family members’ photos or physical descriptions, or medical information, such as medications or medical conditions. Users decide what they want to include, and the confidential information is available only to 911 dispatchers during an emergency call. “Children may know how to dial 911, but

they may not always be able to relay the information needed to get help fast,” said ETSB Chairman Gary Grasso. “Details such as an address or family medical information can be included in a Smart911 profile so that first responders have the information they need immediately.” The details included in a profile can provide quick help in a variety of ways, including: • Calls from mobile phones: An estimated 73 percent of 911 calls come from mobile phones – but a cellular telephone’s exact location can’t always be determined by GPS from a cell tower. Smart911 displays the address of the mobile phone in the profile and can track the call via GPS, even if the call is disconnected. • Missing children: It can take up to an hour to acquire a current photo of a child and disseminate it. Smart911 profiles display the user-

IC Catholic Prep football team ready to tackle challenges ahead Knights kicked off fall practices last week By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

It was all systems go for the IC Catholic Prep football team last week. The Knights kicked off fall practices and coach Bill Krefft reported a strong first week of drills. “It went real good,” he said. “We are healthy and we have great senior leaders again. We’ll be kind of young with younger players contributing. Overall, it was a good first week.” Krefft, whose team advanced to the state semifinals last year, liked what he saw on both sides of the football. “We were in rhythm on offense specifically with Luke (Ricobene) back at quarterback, Robert Vitek at center and Jordan (Rowell) at running back,” said Krefft. “We’re in a rhythm way earlier than we have been. All the kids have a passion and are working hard. They are fired up. On defense we’re running some schemes nicely and checking off on what we see. We’re further along than we have been in the past. It’s nice to have kids with experience who have been through the fire.” Krefft also noted veteran Jimmy Kenneally is back at right tackle and defensive end. “He’s another guy who has seen significant time for us and will be a big help,” the coach said. “It’s nice when you have the entire right side of the offensive line back.” Over the summer, the Knights took their annual retreat trip to Illinois Wesleyan and also did a pair of 7-on-7 competitions, including one at Evanston. “The kids did a nice job this summer,” said Krefft. “We kept it light in the summer and went real slow in getting everybody up to speed. Another key thing is our coaching staff continues to gel. They’ve come together even more now after having worked together a couple years now.” Krefft said a key leading into the regular-season opener next week will be to continue to install systems on both sides of the ball. “We’re still at a base level where we haven’t put a lot of things in yet,” he said. “We’ll get to that point. We also do not have the depth chart totally solidified yet with who will be at each spot. We’ll have some two-way players but not as significant as it has been in other years. One of the key things is to make sure we get things down from a personnel standpoint.” This year’s captains include Kenneally, Vitek, Matt Sutton and Ricobene. “Our captains are leading us well,” said Krefft. “It’s a real tight group that has a lot of passion and

part have been there for three years.” Krefft admits the team’s motiva-

tion is sky high coming off last year’s banner season. “We have to still take

it one day at a time,” he said. “We have to make sure we win tomorrow. There’s definite buy-in with this group and you can see that from the level of work in practice. They come to practice every day with a workman-like mentality. To come in and see that is a joy. It’s almost like late-season practices where the kids are running things a lot more. These guys are getting quality reps all the time. The level of buy-in with this group is significant.”

The final chapter

Legendary York coach Newton talks about his decision to retire at the end of the 2016 cross-country season; praises co-coach Charlie Kern Sr. By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Sebastian Coe is one of the most famous and successful runners in the history of the sport. Britain’s Coe won back-to-back gold medals in the 1,500 meters in 1980 and 1984 and also set eight outdoor world records during his career. And naturally, legendary York boys cross-country coach Joe Newton hosted Coe at his Oak Brook home when Coe was preparing for the 1984 Games in Los Angeles. “He stayed at my house on his way to Los Angeles from London. My wife still calls him my British son,” said Newton last week from his home in Arizona. “He had such a profound effect on me and my teams. I asked him at the dinner table what it was like to win in the Olympics. He told

me when you get to that level the mind is four times more important than the physical part. He had such a profound influence on me with training methods. I learned so much from him.” Newton plans on delivering powerful messages along those same lines to his Dukes’ team when he returns to Elmhurst in October during the IHSA boys cross-country state series. York is in search of its record 29th state title during Newton’s incredible coaching run. It was announced recently that Newton is going to retire as York’s boys cross-country coach at the end of the season. Due to several medical issues that make traveling difficult, Newton will remain in Arizona until the October postseason push when he will return to Elmhurst. Charlie

Kern Sr., Newton’s assistant in recent years, will coach the team in Newton’s absence and be the co-head coach of the program with Newton. This is Newton’s 60th year associated with York High School and his 56th as the boys cross-country coach. The 87-year-old Newton took time last week to talk to the Independent about his decision and the upcoming season. “It was a hard decision to make,” he said. “What made it easier is I’m in a lot of pain. When you are coaching you have to stay on your feet all day. I can’t do that. It’s embarrassing having to sit in a chair while the kids are out there busting their butts. It didn’t make a lot of sense. I’m going to come back from Arizona the last two weeks of the season and get the guys mentally ready for the state

IC Catholic Prep boys golf team ready to take things to the next level Knights return host of accomplished golfers By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

There’s a reason IC Catholic Prep boys golf coach Don Sujack is excited. Sujack returns seasoned talent from a Knights team that advanced to the sectional round a year ago. Back are seniors Trey Morris, Maddie Hurt and junior Connon Leahy. Morris and Leahy qualified for the Class 1A boys state tournament last year, while Hurt, of course, won the Class A girls state title last year as a junior. “We will be strong this year,” said Sujack. “The three of them have taken a step up. Trey has taken his game from being a nice complementary player to someone now shooting in the 30s and capable of winning a tournament. Everybody has worked very hard over the summer to improve.” In addition to that talented triumvirate, IC Catholic Prep returns seniors Troy Simonides and John Hoffman, along with juniors Charlie Schoonveld and Michael Hoffman. Sujack also has been impressed with the development of Jake DeWitte. “Jake worked hard over the summer and will certainly have a chance to compete. By and large those eight players will be vying to compete on our postseason rosters (8 players for the conference tournament and 6 for the IHSA state series).” Hurt will compete in most every boys event for the Knights and then switch over to the Metro Suburban Conference girls tournament and the IHSA girls state series where she will defend her state title. “It’s a neat dynamic,” said Sujack. “When she goes to play in the girls

tournaments one spot will open up in the top six. There will be some healthy competition to see who can move into the lineup.” Sujack said the team’s goals are once again high. “Two years ago our goal was to qualify for sectionals and we did that,” he said. “Last year we said, ‘Alright, let’s see if we can take the next step.’ The goal hasn’t necessarily changed, but anything less than the team going downstate I think would be a disappointment. We’ve seen what it takes to get there. We feel we have the talent and the work ethic to go and achieve our goals. The kids are excited and they’ve made a big believer out of me.” Sujack is equally excited about Hurt’s prospects this year. The girls standout has committed to Northern Illinois University to continue her golf career next year. “Maddie played a full summer schedule again,” said Sujack. “She is on everybody’s short list of people expected to contend for the state crown. She realizes she has a target on her back as she kind of did all summer in the events she played in. That is what happens when you beat the two-time defending state champion in a playoff. That was not a fluke. Maddie is even more motivated by her signing with Northern. She wants to succeed at the boys level as well and contribute scores and feel like she can throw in a medalist round if the course is right. She expects to contribute a score at every meet we have.” IC Catholic Prep kicked off the season earlier this week at the Glen Oak invitational held at Glen Oak Country Club in Glen Ellyn. “I think it’s one of the best high-school tournaments in the state,” said Sujack. “The teams are able to go out and hit at the range and there’s a buffet meal served to all the participants.

They really give back to the community with this. If there are kids who work there or alumni that are members there, they find a way to get that high school in the tournament and get those kids there. We’ll be the only Class 1A school there. It’s a great venerable 100-year old course with a solid field of teams. It’s a wonderful opportunity for our kids (to play) against some really good competition.” The Knights also are looking forward to playing perennial smallschool state power North Shore Country Day on the road at the Merit Club in Gurnee. “There are some events at various points in the schedule that will allow us to see if we are progressing in the manner we feel we should be,” said Sujack. Sujack and his players are ready to get the ball rolling on the 2016 season. “The boys and Maddie are chomping at the bit,” he said. “They are working fast and furious. I’m looking forward to this season more than any in recent memory. We are deep and have some proven players at the top of our lineup and our other young men who have rapidly picked up their games to the point they are in the conversation as well. They have shown tremendous improvement. There are a lot of expectations and the competition we will play will be spirited. We have great kids here who are fun to coach. They are nice young men and a nice young lady. They get along —there is a wonderful team dynamic here. Last year has stuck in their craws. It was a great experience for the individuals who went to state, but they realize it could be five other teammates and you there. They’ve seen what it takes and have made the sacrifices necessary to where they are considered contenders to get downstate.”

meet. That’s going to be my final straw. It was time. This is my 60th year at York and my 56th as head coach. I’ve put in a lifetime there. It’s been a long run. I’ve had so much fun and made a lot of friends. I’m looking forward to a great final season.” Newton’s pain he said stems from a decades-old weightlifting injury he sustained during a workout at York. “I was bench pressing and something pulled,” he said. “I never went to the doctor for it. The last couple years it’s been pure pain standing. Like I said, it doesn’t look good when the coach is sitting and the boys are out there running.” Newton said the weightlifting incident in question stemmed from his competitive nature. “There was another teacher there doing it and I thought I was tougher than the other guy,” he said. “Whatever he benched and I don’t know what the heck it was, I said put it up there for me. I got the weight up but then I heard something pop. I need to get it taken care of. When I do that I’m going to feel like I’m 45 years old instead of 87. I feel great other than the pain.” Newton added that arthritis has complicated the injury. “It’s very hard to get around,” he said. “But I have another few months here to get better and rest and get ready for the last two weeks of the season.” Newton stressed the team is in excellent hands with Kern Sr. at the helm. “Charlie Kern was a state champion in the mile in New York state and ran on scholarship at Kentucky,” Newton pointed out. “He ran close to a four-minute mile. Charlie is very competent and knows what the

hell he’s doing. He’s a great guy. The team is in great hands with Charlie.” Newton also is optimistic about this year’s York squad, which is headlined by Kern’s son, Charlie Jr., who finished second in the state last year as a sophomore. “I think the boys will be pretty darned tough,” Newton said. “There are six boys back from the state meet and now they have another year of experience. The first time you go down to the state meet you make a mountain out of a mole hill and you think you are running in the Olympics. The second year you go back and run and you do a lot better. I think Charlie Kern Jr. has a chance to win the state. He finished eighth as a freshman and second as a sophomore. This is a kid that ran 51-flat in the quarter mile. He has great leg speed. I look forward to him being great.” And Newton is looking forward to seeing his final season unfold. “I enjoy what I do,” he said. “I was able to do what I love and have good success. Life has been very good to me. I cannot complain. The team is in great hands with Charlie. I’m going to come back and get them mentally in shape to run in the state meet. There’s a saying, ‘If you think you can, you might. If you think you can’t, you definitely won’t.’ These guys have to believe in themselves that they can.” York, which finished fourth in the state a year ago (tied for third but finished fourth on tiebreaker), opens the 2016 season August 30 at home against Glenbard West at Berens Park. The Dukes again will compete in the Peoria Notre Dame and Palatine invitationals.

York hockey club enters top league in the state

Coming off dual championships in the Illinois West League at both the varsity and junior varsity levels, the York High School hockey club will enter the the Scholastic Hockey League for the first time this year. The SHL is considered the top high school league in the State of Illinois. Ffth year Dukes coach Bruce Turpin reported the hockey club will enter two teams in the league that features perennial powerhouses New Trier, Glenbrook North, Glenbrook South and Stevenson High Schools. “Moving into the Scholastic League affords us the opportunity to play the top teams on a nightly basis,” Turpin said. “The best way to improve is to face better competition consistently and this is what the league delivers.” Turpin started his coaching carrier in 2000 while he was earning his graduate degree at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. The Canadian-native, a resident of the Chicago area since 2002, has worked with teams including the Chicago Blues, Chicago Young Americans, Northbrook Bluehawks and Loyola Academy. Elmhurst, however, is where he’ll continue to coach and help grow the hockey community. Coach Turpin will be joined by assistant coach Matt Leitzke on the varsity bench. Leitzke brings a wealth of hockey coaching experience having served as assistant coach for Barrington High School the past few years. First year head coach Brian Finnerty leads the JV squad after coming over from Illinois West League rival Waubonsie Valley. Matt Boeing (in his 3rd year with York) and Brooks Sullivan join Finnerty on the JV bench. “Our goal is to create an environment where our players are challenged to become the best they can be on and off the ice as student athletes,” said Turpin. “We think this step provides us the path to continuously develop the quality of our program, so that all York High School players want to play for their high school as freshman.” Registration is still open for the 2016-2017 tryouts scheduled the week of August 22nd.

York’s Lawless commits to Division I University of Colorado Dukes’ senior lacrosse player says opportunity wouldn’t be possible without her high-school teammates

Knights have won AVCA honor 23 times By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

CORRESPONDENT

ARCHIVE PHOTO Elmhurst Independent

Dukes standout lacrosse player Zoe Lawless (shown during a 2015 game against Fenwick) will compete for York one more season before graduating and moving on to Division I University of Colorado.

thing she could for everybody on the team to get them in front of coaches and get them committed to a college. She wanted to do the most she could to help someone. I owe a big thanks to her.” When the travel team still was based in Denver, Lawless would practice in Chicago with a local travel team and then meet up with the Denver Summit team at tournaments. The team now is based out of Chicago and still features players from Chicago and Denver. “We kind of made our own team and called it Summit Elite,” Lawless explained. Lawless, who is the stage manager for the fall play at York, said she is extremely thankful for the opportunity to continue her career at the highest college level. “It means so much to me,” she said. “I’m still kind of in awe, especially it being my dream school. I’ve been super into going there but wasn’t sure how or if it would work out. But between Colorado’s coach (Ann Elliott) and coach (Ryan) Walz and coach Stern at York and all my York teammates who are super-talented, they all helped make this happen.” Lawless, who has a 4.1 gradepoint average at York, said she would like to study veterinary medicine at Colorado. “I got a chance to shadow a vet this summer (in Dixon, Ill., where her grandparents live),” she said. “I know it’s a big major going

in, but I got to see what it was like to be a vet. For as long as I can remember being a vet has been a goal. Being a little kid you don’t know what it’s really like to be a vet. Being able to see that the last two summers in Dixon was huge. I saw the real-life version. I owe a huge amount of appreciation for that.” Lawless said herself and her York teammates also are working hard to grow the sport with younger players. “We all play during the season and then a lot of us go out and coach the little kids,” she said. “We’re trying to grow the sport at York. We want girls to try out for the sport even if they are completely new to it so they can see if they like it. We’re highlighting the importance of the York program.” And coming on the heels of an outstanding junior season (both individually and as a team), Lawless can’t wait to get going for the 2017 York lacrosse season. The Dukes made it to the quarterfinals (final eight teams in the state) last year. “I was just talking to our goalie, Izzy Torres. We work out every day and we talk every time about getting to the spring season right now,” she said. “It’s so exciting. This team is not only pretty good at competing, but we all get along. We have fun in practices and games. This team has been fantastic every year since my freshman year. The people make it so special. I love being with them.”

One constant on the calendar the last two-plus decades has been the announcement of the IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball team being recognized for academic achievement at the national level. This year is no different. The Knights recently were informed they are the recipients of the 2015-2016 American Volleyball Coaches Association team academic award. The Knights have earned the national recognition in 23 of the award’s 24 years in existence. IC Catholic Prep coach Nancy D’Amore noted the one year the Knights did not win the award, they actually qualified but a paperwork mix-up led to them not meeting that year’s submission deadline. The 2015 team, which is being honored with the 23rd award in program history, was comprised of Giana Curran, Molly Fahey, Kaitlyn Falduto, Katie Harvey, Katie Hendricks, Claudia Koch, Josie Lytton, Kerry Mulligan, Tess Reardon and Sophie Zanoni. The award, initiated in the 1992-1993 academic year, honors collegiate and high-school volleyball teams that display excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a cumulative 3.30 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 cumulative GPA on a 5.0 scale. The 2015 IC Catholic Prep varsity team had a cumulative GPA of 4.14 for the 2015-2016 school year. “The girls love getting the award,” D’Amore told the Independent. “When we do our goal-setting even without me saying it out loud, they say they want the big team academic award. They know it’s out there and they take a lot of interest in it, as they should.” D’Amore added in a school release on the award: “This award always is one of the most meaningful for our team. Our volleyball program’s core values are centered around achieving in the classroom. Success on the court is a byproduct of pursuing excellence in academics, developing character and showing superior sportsmanship.” IC Catholic Prep is among 771 teams that earned the award for the 15-16 school year. That total breaks the previous year’s total of 757 to set an all-time high. Girls’ high-school teams led the way with 260 recipients, an increase of 22 over last year. “Congratulations to the coaches and institutions that won the 2016 AVCA team academic award,” said AVCA Executive Director Kathy DeBoer. “It is no accident that a volleyball coaches association recognizes academic excellence as a team, rather than an individual, achievement. Players influence each other, both in execution on the court and discipline in the classroom.”

While York senior Zoe Lawless has enjoyed many successes in lacrosse, she stresses none of them would have been possible the last three seasons without the support of her Dukes’ teammates. And that includes her committing to continue her lacrosse career at Division I University of Colorado. “Playing with these girls at York got me the experience and gave me the boost to say, ‘Hey, if I have a chance to go Division I, I’m going to do it’,” she said. “The York program is something super-important to me as a player and my teammates and coaches. The coaches at York have done so much for us in and out of the season.” Lawless, an all-state honorablemention and an all-West Suburban Conference selection as a junior, had her eye on playing at Colorado for a long time. “Since I decided I wanted to try and play Division I lacrosse, I always was looking to go out to Colorado,” she said. “I was invited to go out to their summer camps and I got in front of the coaches out there. When I got back, that’s when they made an offer. They saw me play in some travel tournaments in Virginia and Florida.” The state of Colorado has been on Lawless’ mind since her middleschool days. “I went out to Colorado the summer before seventh grade with one of my friends,” she said. “We stayed at a dude ranch and had so much fun. We didn’t want to leave. There was something about Colorado and its beauty. I completely fell in love with it there. So it was like, ‘Hey, why not play lacrosse out there.’ I took a tour of the campus and fell in love with the school and the rest is history.” About the same time as her duderanch adventure, Lawless started playing lacrosse. “In my sixth-grade year Bryan Middle School had a three-day portion on lacrosse and we didn’t even play with real rules,” recalled Lawless, who finished third in the state in points and fourth in goals as a junior. “We were messing around and I chucked the ball down the field and it went in the goal. It was complete luck. I said to myself, ‘Maybe I’ll like this sport?’” Lawless eventually became involved with the Illinois Girls Lacrosse Association (she currently is a coach for that group) and now plays for the Summit Elite travel program. And even the Summit Elite program has a Colorado connection. “It’s based out of Chicago now, but it was originally based in Denver,” said Lawless. “Last year is where I really got in front of college coaches. My coach (Zoe Smith) did every-

IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball team progresses during summer Knights finish second at Great Lakes Thursday night league By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The IC Catholic girls volleyball team packed plenty of work into their recently concluded summer session. In addition to regular summer camp, the Knights again competed in a pair of summer leagues out at the Great Lakes Center in Aurora (home of the Sports Performance volleyball club). “Between the summer camp and the leagues in July we were pretty busy,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Nancy D’Amore. “I changed the structure of the high-school camp. The girls went Monday, Wednesday and Friday for three weeks instead of a solid five-day week. I wanted to see if that would ease things up a bit. Everybody liked it. They didn’t seem as exhausted at the end of the month.” D’Amore was equally happy with the turnout for the program’s youth camps. “We had more than 150 girls for the youth camps,” she noted. “That kept us quite busy. On paper those camps are for second through eighth graders, but we had a couple first graders and kindergartners. Word gets around about the youth camps and that’s something that puts a smile

“

True to form, I think we will be pretty solid, but we know we still have a lot of work to do,” she said. “We’re pretty solid with ball control and passing and defense. We have some gaps to fill because of graduations, but we have a solid returning core.” – IC Catholic Prep coach Nancy D’Amore

on my face.” With her high-school team, D’Amore was able to get a good handle on its progress. “True to form, I think we will be pretty solid, but we know we still have a lot of work to do,” she said. “We’re pretty solid with ball control and passing and defense. We have some gaps to fill because of graduations, but we have a solid returning core. Every year we have one or two spots where we find someone who steps up and takes on a role. We looked at a number of different things in camp and summer league. We saw some different things and saw how different girls have developed their games in the off-season. I think we will be pretty good. We’ll use the first part of the season here until we start playing matches to take a little closer look at things.” Over at Great Lakes, the

Knights took 11th out of 40 or so teams in the Tuesday night league. “The Tuesday league has a lot of Class 4A teams and strong programs,” said D’Amore. “I was pleased with it. We weren’t the smallest school in it but we were very close to it.”

The Knights took second in the Thursday night league, losing to Kaneland in the championship contest. “That’s a smaller grouping of teams,” said D’Amore. “There are 16-20 teams that draw from some of the smaller schools. Overall there I was pleasantly pleased. We tend to frustrate teams with our ability to pick balls up. We’re not going to overpower anybody but we will prevent them from getting the ball to the floor.” The Knights benefit from a nucleus of five seniors returning. “They all played a big role on last year’s team,” said D’Amore. “It’s a good feeling when you know what to expect.” That senior group includes Tess Reardon, Katie Hendricks, Giana Curran, Molly Fahey and Kaitlyn Falduto. Junior Josie Lytton and sophomore newcomer Nailah

Landon also will be key components. Reardon is the team’s top returning hitter and will set in what likely will be a 6-2 offense, D’Amore said. Hendricks played middle last year but could also help on the outside. Curran takes over the libero spot, while Falduto is a serving specialist standout and has been taking defensivespecialist reps as well. D’Amore noted this year’s summer camp attracted upwards of 25 freshmen players. “It’s a happy surprise to have,” she said. “We have a big freshmen crew and we’ll have freshman A and B teams, which is something new for us. It’s a great group of kids with some nice athletes in it. It’s exciting to have a really full gym and it’s nice to see girls coming into school excited about playing volleyball here.”

York boys golf team deep with talent Manning, Leali headline list of returners for Dukes By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

said. Headlining the list of returners from last year’s squad that fared quite well in the tough West Suburban Conference Silver Division and qualified as a team for state are seniors Tom Manning and Mark Leali. Leali shot a 74 during one tryout round last week, while Manning had a 75. “We will definitely count on these two young men to help us,” said Borel. Jake Czernik, Kyle Kubycheck and Mitchell Russell also are back. Czernik and Kubycheck each shot a 76 during a tryout round. All three are seniors. “Those five seniors are guys we will count on to take us a long way,” said Borel. “The last few years the seniors have stepped up and that’s why we have made it as far as we have. We’re very excited about the senior class.” Junior Jake Brown shot a 73 last week, while sophomores Jacob Wit (74), Aidan Mann (79) and Blair Faber also will be counted on as will freshman Josh LaBounty, who shot an even-par 36 on the first day of freshman tryouts.

Unless all bids are rejected, the contract award will be made to the lowest responsive responsible bidder. In determining who the lowest responsive responsible bidder is, the City of Elmhurst will consider all factors which it, in its discretion, deems relevant in determining who the lowest responsive responsible bidder is. PAYMENT OF PREVAILING WAGES The general prevailing rate of wages in DuPage County for each craft or type of worker or mechanic needed to execute the contract or perform the work, also the general prevailing rate for legal holiday and overtime work, as ascertained by the Illinois Department of Labor, shall be paid for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the contract or to perform the work. Dated: This 18th Day of August, 2016 CITY OF ELMHURST Steven M. Morley, Patty Spencer, Mayor City Clerk (Published in The Elmhurst Independent Aug. 18, 2016) 254071

“A score like that hasn’t happened in a long time,” said Borel, of LaBounty’s even-par highschool debut. “Josh will help us. Overall, we have some pretty consistent players. I think we will be a very good high-school golf team. We have good balance throughout the program from freshmen to seniors.” Borel is not glossing over the fact the team graduated standouts Jordan Less and Will Gunst. “Will and Jordan are huge losses,” he said. “Those are kids who helped us the last four years. We will need the balance we have to replace those two, as well as Frank Wheatland, who helped us a lot. It’s too bad those guys got older. It would be nice to have them back again. But we are going to be a very good team. We know it will be tough replacing them, but I’m very excited. We’re coming off a year where we won the regional and sectional and went downstate. There’s no reason to set goals any lower than that. We look to win conference and advance the team to state again. We have the ability to do that.” Borel said the conference will, as always, be tough. “Hinsdale Central will be tough and we have them at the country club (Hinsdale) this year,” he said. “We finished 5-1 last year. We beat Hinsdale, but lost to Glenbard West. Downers North had a freshman kid last year who was pretty strong. We know the Hinsdale match will be great. Our boys like their boys. It’s a good rivalry. We know we can beat these teams in the conference. We did it last year and we’re excited for the opportunity to play them again.” York opened the season earlier this week at the Addison Trail invitational. The Dukes make their annual voyage to central Illinois on Saturday to play in the Coyote Creek Classic in Bartonville near Peoria (Limestone High School is the host). York will play its home matches this year at Maple Meadows in Wood Dale.

An unknown person who claimed to be an officer from the jail requested that payment be made using iTunes gift cards, according to police. The victim purchased the gift cards and gave the numbers off the cards to an unknown person over the phone. An investigation is pending.

but by then, he had fled. Police said he possibly left in a blue or black four-door vehicle with a black female driver. The second instance occurred at around 12:38 p.m. inside a coffee shop, also in the 600 block of W. North Ave. An officer spoke with the shift manager, who confirmed the suspect was the same black male suspect described from the earlier incident at the restaurant. In the same fashion, the suspect had entered the coffee shop and purchased a cookie for $1.95, using a $20 bill. The shift manager found the $20 bill in the drawer; an officer took possession of it and contacted the U.S. Secret Service.

“BenJamin’ Beckons Grains and Grooves” is a suitable title of Ben Calvert’s unusual artwork in the solo exhibition of his block prints in the Elmhurst Artists’ Guild gallery from August 21 through September 30. The gallery is located at the Elmhurst Art Museum, 150 S. Cottage Hill Ave., Elmhurst. An opening reception, free and open to the public, is scheduled in the gallery, on Friday, August 26 from 7-9 pm. Benjamin F. Calvert III, as he is more formally known, has a daytime job as customer service representative, but his joy lies in pulling prints from his wood blocks. “I have a strong feeling for nature, and the wood complements my images,” said the Villa Park resident. “Different types of wood provide varied and often fascinating backgrounds, depending upon on the subject.” He believes in creating images that are familiar, yet open to interpretation. “For some images I use linoleum blocks in order to get more detailed lines in a small area,” said Calvert. “The majority of my creations are printed on Japanese Kozuki paper,

using oil-based inks.” Calvert received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Knox College, Galesburg, Ill., which published his first print, “Invasions,” in Catch, the school’s literary magazine. He has entered juried art shows at Beverly Art Center and Bridgeport Art Center. A portion of the proceeds of any artwork sold benefits the Guild and the Elmhurst Art Museum.

Shoulder seasons are travel enthusiasts’ best-kept secret. Autumn, falling right between the busier summer vacation period and endof-the-year holidays, offers plenty of affordable options. So give into your wanderlust and start planning with these travel tips for an amazing fall getaway. Watch the weather When deciding on a destination for fall travel, be sure to research the weather. In some locales, fall is the rainy season. In others, fall is simply an extension of summer. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is the perfect example. Temperate weather and warm ocean water,

paired with fewer travelers, makes this a prime destination for autumn adventures. If you’re craving fall colors, explore regions with sunny days and crisp nights. National parks are a wonderful option, as they’re celebrating the centennial of the National Parks System throughout 2016. Check out Yosemite or Arcadia National Park, both well-known for fantastic fall foliage. Wherever you go, remember fall weather can be fickle. Be sure to select a location with a reliable climate. 253734

Analyze accommodations The shoulder season brings fewer crowds, which means not only a less stressful trip, but also less costly accommodations. Researching location-specific websites, like www.visitmyrtlebeach.com, you will discover many great options, from beach-side bungalows to chic city condos. Resort costs often drop during autumn months, but so do the costs of private accommodations. House rentals may be the right home-away-from-home for you. Bonus: You might even have some negotiating power during the slow months.

Explore eateries The fall provides a bounty of fresh flavors in regions throughout the country, making this time ideal for foodies or anyone who simply enjoys a scrumptious meal. Some destinations offer “stay and dine” deals to highlight local cuisine at an incredible price, so do your research and make reservations early. If you want the food to be a central theme throughout your trip but don’t want to battle for a table every night, seek destinations with a new or revitalized culinary scene. Underground foodies are flocking to Myrtle Beach, home to many up-and-coming chefs offering diverse flavors that will awaken and surprise your palate, such as liquid nitrogen tuna at The Chemist, Low Country egg rolls at 2nd Avenue Pier, or mango gazpacho at Chive Blossom. The secret’s out: fall may just be the ideal time for a vacation. Because you’ll get more for less, you may just make it an annual tradition.

By Tresa Erickson When the days turn cooler and the leaves glisten in shades of gold, orange, purple and red, America becomes a beautiful sight to behold. It is so beautiful, in fact, that many take time out to tour the color-changing landscape. If a fall foliage tour sounds like a great idea to you, read on! There are a couple of avenues for exploring America’s shifting fall color palette. You can create your own route and explore it by foot, bike or car. You can look to a professional to guide you and explore the route by bike, bus or train. Either way, you are sure to have a great fall foliage tour. For some leaf peepers, there is no better way to check out the changing colors than to fly solo. They choose their own route and go their own pace. There are hundreds of sources online and in print for determining the most scenic fall foliage routes. For other leaf peepers, only a guided fall foliage tour will do. They don’t have the time or inclination to plot out a route, nor do they want to do the driving. It’s far better to hop a bike, bus or train and leave the planning to someone else. Professional fall foliage tours can range from a few hours to several days, with fees based on the length of trip and services provided. As with any trip you take, you should research in depth what’s offered and select the package that will best serve you. Some tours are better than others, and it pays to read customer reviews and check out references and recommendations. When you have selected a tour, you should get everything in writing, including the fees as well as a list of what you will need for the trip. No matter how long the fall foliage tour, guided or self-guided, there are a few things you should do to ensure you have a good time. You should always dress in layers to account for changing temperatures. You should pack a first aid kit, along with nutritious snacks and water, for any hikes you might take. Finally, you should bring a camera. No doubt you will come across some sights that you won’t want to forget. Fall foliage tours can be great fun. Don’t dismiss the beauty around you. Whether just a short jaunt around the local area or a long trek up the coast, you’re sure to be inspired by Mother Nature’s changing fall vista.
