District holds first of four Focus 205 meetings Low-income }The mission of Elmhurst Community students increase 483%; Unit School District is to meet the language barriers 182% education needs of all students. Please since 2009 By Dan McLeister For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — School District 205 faces increasing challenges with students who come to Elmhurst with language barriers or poverty struggles, newly hired Superintendent Dr. David Moyer told a group of about 200 people gathered at York High School on September 2 for the first Focus 205 Community Engagement meeting. The percentage of lowincome students in the District has increased 483 percent in the last decade, he said. Future Focus 205 programs are scheduled for October 8, November 12, and December 2. All sessions will be held from 7 - 9 p.m. in the York High School Commons. Childcare will be available for ages 3 to 12. In small discussion groups, some residents indicated they were surprised not only at the high number of students from low-income households but also at the many students with language barriers. As it relates to achievement in school, Moyer said, research demonstrates that poverty is the most difficult barrier for children to overcome. He also indicated that the percentage of English Language Learners (ELL) has increased 182 percent since 2009. In addition to English, there are

take note of the word ‘all.’ We are very serious about the fact that all means all.” — District 205 Superintendent Dr. David Moyer 56 separate languages spoken by families in Elmhurst. “Working hard and caring about kids is foundational to everything we do, but it can only take us so far,” Moyer said. “We can’t just work hard, we have to be committed to doing the right work. “The mission of Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 is to meet the educational needs of all students, challenging each to be his or her best and insuring a foundation for future success in life. “Please take note of the word ‘all.’ We are very serious about the fact that ‘all means all.’” Moyer also noted that there are many positive indicators of achievement to celebrate. The number of students enrolled in Advance Placement (AP) courses at York has increased 61 percent and the number of tests taken has increased by 68 percent. The Superintendent said the District recently learned it has set a high water mark with an ACT composite test score of 24.2. This continues a decadeslong trend of improvement. “This improvement is particularly remarkable, considering that at beginning in the year

2000, all students, not just the top students, were required to take the test,” he said. “So, while we have many reasons to celebrate in Elmhurst, my Cabinet, administrative team and I are fully committed to continuous improvement in which Elmhurst becomes a lighthouse district [on a national level].” Despite the fact that the majority of people are wellmeaning and simply want strong public schools, their frame of reference typically lies in the past, Moyer said. “We must embrace change and learn how to manage it successfully, as it is the only constant in today’s world.” The superintendent said public schools in this country are improving, but not fast enough. “The world is changing at a much faster rate, and failure to acknowledge this reality has potentially disastrous consequences,” he said. Today, the charge is to ensure that all students learn, Moyer said, adding that the consequences of failing to meet this moral imperative, that is, to assure all students are learning, could eventually result in “the disappearance of the middle class and a collapse of the

American economy.” Scientist Albert Einstein said the formulation of the problem is often more essential then its solution. Moyer noted, if you get the right answer but are asking the wrong questions, then you are no further along. “We cannot rely solely on the best practices to meet the needs of future generations of students,” he said. “Instead, we must re-conceptualize our work to ensure a flexible and adaptable organization that is not only responsive to, but perhaps even predictive of, future needs. “Future Ready Skills are not a synonym for technology. This is commonly confused, in fact, if you look closely, Future Ready Skills are primarily about literacy in the modern age -- communication, accessing, synthesizing and applying knowledge, critical analysis of problems and human existence. “In District 205, we are considering technology an accelerator, not an end, in and of itself. The major focus is on what we call the Four C’s—creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration.” Moyer then discussed the term nostesia. Author Jamie Volmer defines it “as a debilitating mental condition that causes the afflicted to glorify the schools of the past and resist meaningful change.” Nostesia is deadly, according to Moyer. “I like watching reruns of Leave It to Beaver as much as the next guy, but do we want to turn in our cell phones and trade our flat screen smart TVs for a black-and-white with rabbit ears? Looking forward does not erase one’s cherished memories.”

York High School’s 2015 ACT scores set new all-time high of 24.2 ELMHURST — According to District 205, ACT has just released this year’s scores for the Class of 2015. At the state

level, average composite scores on the ACT college entrance exam held steady from last year at 20.7. Elmhurst Community

Touch A Truck at Berens Park on Saturday ELMHURST — The whole family is invited to the Park District’s annual Touch A Truck event. Stop by Berens Park’s east parking lot (off Walnut Street) on Saturday, September 12 from 10 a.m.-12 noon to get up close with firetrucks, tow trucks, police cars, army vehicles, ambulances and more. A helicopter might even make an appearance! This loud and exciting event offers truckloads of fun, so be sure to come early. The first 500 children will receive a free t-shirt. A $1 donation to the People for Elmhurst Parks Foundation is requested to benefit recreation assistance and help build The Playground for Everyone.

Unit School District 205 saw students’ scores increase from 24.0 to 24.2, a new all-time high in the history of the District. York Community High School ACT scores have been trending upward over the past five years. “I am very pleased that the District continues trending upward on its ACT scores in all tested areas,” noted Superintendent Dr. David Moyer. “This is a team effort, and although it is only one indicator of many to help us gauge our achievement, curriculum and instructional practices, it is an important one to students and their families, and all should be commended for their commitment to continu-

ous improvement.” “This is a recognition of the hard work of our students and of our teachers,” noted York Principal Diana Smith. “Our faculty continues to focus on a strong curriculum, which is aligned to future-ready standards. Engaging students in their learning is our top priority; and preparing them for high stakes testing is essential.” More than 157,000 students took the ACT test in Illinois, 642 of them at York High School. Illinois students are tied for the highest composite ACT score among the 13 states that administer the ACT test statewide. In Illinois, the Class of 2015 achieved an average composite score of 20.7.

Describe a family facing the Stamp Act 250 years ago ELMHURST — If you are a student in grades 5-8, you may want to take part in celebrating America’s History by entering an essay contest hosted by the Martha Ibbenson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. This year’s topic will be “A Colonial Family’s Reaction To The Stamp Act.” March 22, 2015, marked the 250th anniversary of the Stamp Act. Passed by the British Parliament in 1765, this new tax required all colonists to pay a tax on every printed piece of paper they used. The Stamp Act was viewed by the colonists as “taxation without representation.” Describe a colonial family’s discussion about the new Stamp Act and what role it played in organizing the colonists against the British King and Parliament. The length of the essay should be 300 – 1000 words, depending on the grade level. Submissions are due November 13, 2015. Please send your essay via e-mail to Sandy Markle at sandy@markle.com. For more information, call 312-841-1068.

Letter to the Editor Cancer hits hard; together, we are fighting back Everyone in Elmhurst is just One Degree from someone with cancer. Each of us knows someone who has battled the disease. Many of us have fought cancer ourselves. Throughout the summer,

American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) volunteers have been collecting thousands of names reflecting everyone’s One Degree to cancer. This week, we delivered these petitions to Sen. Mark Kirk, calling on Congress to boost the nation’s investment in cancer research. Cancer research saves lives. Yet federal cancer research funding is 26 percent lower

than in 2003. With nearly 15 million cancer survivors in the United States today and an estimated 1.7 million people who will be newly diagnosed this year, it’s time to fight back. We also recently visited Congressman Mike Quigley and asked him to cosponsor the Removing Barriers to Colorectal Cancer Screening Act. This would ensure seniors have the same

access to colorectal cancer screening as others. Currently, Medicare fully pays for routine colonoscopies for the purpose of screening. But if a polyp is found and removed during the procedure, the colonoscopy is categorized as a diagnostic exam, and the patient must pay part of the cost. This loophole, which applies only to Medicare beneficiaries, can leave a patient

with a bill that could be as much as $500 out of pocket. More than 65,000 Illinoisans will be diagnosed with cancer in 2015. We hope our lawmakers will prioritize these patients and support policies that help them access the best possible care.

Bethel Church group fulfills mission in Tennessee ELMHURST — In late July a group of 26 youth and adults from Bethel United Church of Christ in Elmhurst packed their work clothes, bug spray and sunscreen and traveled to Sunset Gap in Cosby, Tenn., on its annual mission trip. Sunset Gap, founded in 1924, was established to serve the local community by setting an example of Christian care and concern and by training Christian leaders to care for their neighbors. Over the years Sunset Gap has served as a site for an elementary school, health care services for those with TB, Bible study groups, baseball teams, sewing classes and many other services the directors saw a need for in the community. It continues to be of great use as it houses mission camp volunteers, a thrift store, a food pantry, and a kitchen where over 100 people are served hot meals twice a week. In this area of the Great Smoky Mountains incomes are low and jobs are scarce. At Sunset Gap people with great hearts are trying to do the work of many. During the past year Bethel youth, with generous help from friends, families and members of Bethel, raised money to help subsidize their trip. One family sponsored the vans the group used to travel to Tennessee. “Mission trips offer these young adults a great combination of work, education, new experiences, relationships and spiritual growth,” said Jenny Pozen, Bethel’s director of Christian Education and Youth Ministries. “On these trips the goal is to put our faith and love of Christ into action.” When the Bethel group arrived at Sunset Gap, it discovered that due to a scheduling error, the group was not expected. No materials or arrangements had been made for their work projects. Sunset Gap had lost several key staff members during the summer, and remaining staff were doing the best it could in a difficult situation. Compassion and understanding were in order, and this was a lesson in what a mission trip is all about: coming to help those in need, building relationships and gaining new perspectives.

But there was a silver lining: Three of the chaperones had brought along their tools—just in case. And they had the skills to act as project managers for the group. In addition, the group had the opportunity to work together every day, which had not been common on other trips. “It was a challenge at times to take turns to do the jobs,” said Pozen. “But this meant we all shared the same work, experiences and jokes, and this group really became close. Our youth found ways to bond, laugh and enjoy working together every day. They shared the load and shared themselves.” In spite of a delayed start, the group was able to work on two projects to help those who needed ramps and decks on their homes, and its efforts were rewarded by the sight of one of those they helped enjoying time seated on his new deck and ramp built to accommodate his walker. The group was also able to help in Sunset Gap’s food pantry, relocating lumber and reorganizing the space to accommodate a shipment of

supplies arriving to stock the pantry. The youth had new experiences and learned new skills—using a tractor mower, a power auger, drills and levels; unearthing huge rocks with pick axes; mixing concrete; conquering their fears of white water rafting and, a favorite, filling a washing machine with pans and buckets of water! “These kids are all good with power tools and, more importantly, they are good at being kind to each other,” Pozen said. “They all have open hearts, they are all willing to help others, and they do it with grace—it comes naturally to them. And they are truly fun to be with. “We are blessed to have enthusiastic adults who are willing to take a week from their busy lives and come to work beside these kids,” Pozen continued, “sharing their faith by modeling a selfless and generous spirit. Even though we had some struggles when our trip began I know that there was a plan and a purpose for this group to come together and serve at Sunset Gap. We had everything we needed.” Once at home, the group

shared its experiences with the Bethel congregation during a special youth-led worship service in August filled with bluegrass music, reflections, and a picnic in Bethel’s new Welcome Center. Those who went to Sunset Gap include Rachel and Matt Atristain, Tim Carman, Kate Dempsey, Bridget and Janie Huels, C.J. Karwowski, Jonathan Keenan, Dani and Kate-

lyn Kolosieke, Emily Landreth, Max and Sam Pozen, Ben and Charlie Rogers, Noriko and Rieko Scheib, Bruce and Hanna Smith, Haley Stewart, Jenny Pozen, Jim Karwowski, Todd Keenan, John Kolosieke, Kevin Rogers, and Roxanne Schwoch. The group looks forward to returning to Back Bay Mission in Biloxi, Miss., next summer.

Heard & Not Seen

This hearing aid does for your ears what a contact lens does for your eyes: improves your hearing

without anyone knowing it’s there. Breaking News

Introducing a hearing aid that is Swiss engineered, US made and so small it can be custom formed to fit right next to the eardrum. It sits so deep in the canal that it begins where other hearing aids end. That makes it virtually undetectable to anyone else.

Packs a Punch

Despite its miniature size, the processor inside the “Invisible-In-Canal” hearing aid is so fast it samples the listening environment 20,000 times per second and makes automatic adjustments. It is designed to identify and reduce sounds in the background while amplifying the speech directly around you, making conversations much clearer.

450

OFF MSRP

No Whistling, Buzzing or Plugged-up Feeling

It also supports the undisputed world-leading feedback cancellation technology. This makes annoying whistling and buzzing a thing of the past. In addition, the positioning of the hearing aid is meant to resolve that plugged-up or head-in-a-barrel sensation (a complaint about older types of hearing aids).

AccuQuest Hearing Centers

is offering complimentary hearing screenings* to determine whether you are a candidate to wear the Invisible-In-Canal hearing aids.

Elmhurst College places high in latest college rankings Considered ‘great value, experience, preparation for life’

ELMHURST — Several high-profile national media rankings have once again named Elmhurst College among the best colleges around, in areas that are top of mind with students and families: educational value for tuition dollars, meaningful campus experience, and proven record of preparing students for successful careers and lives.

On Money® magazine’s nationwide list of Best Colleges For Your Money, Elmhurst College ranks in the top 4 percent of the country’s nearly 3,000 four-year colleges and universities. And Forbes® magazine, the Princeton Review and Niche.com place Elmhurst among the top colleges in Illinois and the Midwest. Elmhurst jumped to No. 121 this year (from No. 166 last year) on Money’s rankings, which focus on colleges and universities that “deliver the most value—that is, a great education, at an affordable price, that helps students

launch promising careers.” Money selected the 736 most successful colleges and universities from the country’s total of 2,968, then ranked them on educational quality, affordability and outcomes, or how well graduates have done. Elmhurst students spoke highly to Money about the College’s “beautiful campus, friendly students” and small class sizes. In this year’s Forbes magazine rankings, America’s Top Colleges, Elmhurst places among the top 15 in Illinois. The Forbes list of 650 schools emphasizes what a student gets out of college rather than what

it takes for a student to get into a college. The Forbes list, like the Money list, includes schools ranging from small liberal arts colleges to huge public universities. For the 12th year in a row, Elmhurst College has been named one of the Princeton Review’s Best in the Midwest schools. Students in this ranking describe Elmhurst as “the perfect blend of big city access and small (but not too small) campus atmosphere.” They also said the College offers “great financial aid” and “endless opportunities for scholarships, mentorships, internships, research, and so much more.”

Elmhurst College also ranks among the top colleges in Illinois on Niche.com’s Best Colleges and Universities list, which ranks 892 colleges and universities based on 50 statistics and 12 million ratings from 300,000 students. Elmhurst also has been selected a 2015-16 College of Distinction for “its ongoing commitment to student engagement, great teaching, vibrant community and successful outcomes.” High points identified: all classes at Elmhurst are taught by professors, not teaching assistants. The average class has 17 students, and the student-faculty ratio is 13 to 1.

Hospital earns re-designation as a Planetree Patient-Centered Hospital ELMHURST — Elmhurst Hospital has been re-designated by Planetree, Inc. as a “Planetree Designated Patient-Centered Hospital.” This designation recognizes Elmhurst’s achievement and innovation in the delivery of patient-centered care, defined as an approach to healthcare in which providers partner with patients and families to identify and satisfy the full range of patient needs and preferences. Elmhurst earned its first Planetree designation in 2012 and is one of only 72 organizations worldwide, including 28 in the U.S., to receive the Patient-Centered Hospital Designation since the program’s launch in 2007. Each Planetree designation is awarded for three years. Planetree Designation is based on more than 60 specific criteria that address components of a patient-centered healthcare experience, including patient-provider interactions, access to information, family involvement, the physical environment, food and nutrition, spirituality, arts and entertainment, and integrative therapies. “We are honored to achieve re-designation as a Planetree Hospital,” said Joanne Muzzey, director of Patient Advocacy and Planetree, Elmhurst Hospital. “It serves as confirmation that our patients and families are getting the care and experience they deserve when they’re at Elmhurst Hospital. And, the honor is a wonderful recognition of the team effort by our doctors, nurses and staff that shows a commitment to performing all aspects of healthcare the right way.”

Lexington Squares offer presentations loaded with the most up to date information and solutions to help you improve and maintain a healthy quality of life. All programs include light refreshments and a question and answer session.

HSBC to move 1500 employees to Arlington Heights Transfer includes workers from Elmhurst, second location By Dee Longfellow For the Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — Last week, the Independent learned that the North American unit of Londonbased HSBC Holdings was planning to transfer 1,500 employees from its offices in Elmhurst and

Mettawa to a new 162,000-square-foot office in Arlington Heights. Next spring, the company is aiming to open the new space on the former site of Nokia Siemens, located at 1421 W. Shure Drive, according to a news release. HSBC reportedly signed an 11-year lease agreement with Torburn Partners, which bought the five building, 1.1 million square-foot campus

in Arlington Heights, one of the Village’s largest office campuses. HSBC is a holding company, which through its subsidiaries offers financial services in the United States and Canada including personal and consumer finance, retail banking, wealth management, commercial, private and global banking, as well as corporate investment banking, mortgage insurance and trust services.

Consumers shed light on listing conundrum in BHHS second survey ELMHURST — Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices (BHHS), part of the HSF Affiliates LLC family of real estate brokerage franchise networks, last week released results of its second Homeowner Sentiment Survey. The findings indicate that consumers remain optimistic about housing, yet are hesitant to list their homes in what is largely considered a seller’s market. According to a press release from BHHS, U.S. real estate has moved forward since the “Great Recession,” though its recovery has been tempered by various market conditions, such as strict mortgage-qualification guidelines. Concurrently, the glut of homes generated during the downturn – the “Shadow Inventory” – was gobbled up by investors who now rent the properties. These conditions are among several factors led to a low supply of homes, which in turn has intensified competition for existing properties and driven up home prices in many markets.

Adding to the challenge for real estate consumers and the industry is that many homeowners are simply not listing their homes. Why? Overall, a significant majority of survey respondents (71%) said U.S. real estate MICKEY is heading in the MUISENGA right direction though this number is down from first quarter results, according to BHHS. Yet among contemplators – those who are considering selling their homes but have not yet listed – 73% point to home prices that have not recovered to pre-recession levels, and 61% say uneasiness about the U.S. economy has kept them on the sidelines to this point. “Though home prices around the

country have recovered much of the ground lost during the downturn, contemplators are telling us they want more confidence in the decision to list,” said Mickey Muisenga of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Prairie Path, REALTORS in Elmhurst. “They’re also telling us they need more information about their markets, pricing and specific home improvement in order to list.” Survey respondents said top concerns today include credit-score impairment caused during the downturn, stringent lending guidelines, the challenge facing first-time buyers in competing with all-cash, equity-flush and international buyers. Among current homeowners, 68% said underwater mortgages remain a hurdle. Ironically, less than half of all respondents identified low inventory as a market challenge and only a small minority – 12% of prospective homeowners and 6% of current homeowners – described

housing inventory as “decreasing.” “This is a classic case of supply and demand,” Muisenga said. “The low supply of homes in many markets creates a strong opportunity for those able and willing to list their properties. Good homes priced correctly are selling quickly in many cases.” Opportunity also exists for buyers as mortgage rates remain near historic lows. And, as more homes come on the market, balance will return to U.S. real estate, Muisenga added. “Education is essential in today’s market,” he said, noting that 55% of contemplators said they’d be more likely to list if they had additional information on the home-selling process. “The stage is set for real estate professionals to connect with consumers, learn their needs and concerns and determine the best way for sellers and buyers to capitalize on the opportunities that exist today.”

steps to reduce costs: • An administrative reorganization that resulted in $2 million in annual savings. • A collaborative bid with DuPage County to purchase stone and gravel for trail maintenance and other construction projects that saved $30,000. • An intergovernmental agreement with Addison Con-

solidated Dispatch Center for police dispatch services with an annual savings of $93,000. The District continues to look for opportunities to streamline operations and cut costs through technological advances, a centralized

purchasing process and debt restructuring. “We know that intergovernmental cooperation can help us operate more efficiently and save taxpayers money,” said District President Joe Cantore. “This meeting was another step in that direction.”

ELMHURST — Local resident and Elmhurst College yoga instructor Barb Kahovec has announced the publication of her debut textbook, “Yoga for the Student Body.” It is a textbook, which offers a comprehensive introduction to the world of yoga and includes useful information for the beginning student and more advanced practitioner alike. Kahovec leads readers through yogi breathing techniques, introductory meditation, stress reduction exercises, instruction in yoga poses and more. She has been teaching yoga at Elmhurst College since 2010 and said she was driven to write a textbook after trying unsuccessfully to find an appropriate book to guide her students. “I couldn’t find a yoga book that met the needs of today’s college students,” she said. “Since the Great Recession of 2008, our students are experiencing a great deal of stress, I hope this book can become a tool for students who turn toward yoga in an effort to manage their stress.” In “Yoga for the Student Body” Kahovec shares personal stories from many of her

}After teaching at the college for five years, I can honestly say prevention works.”

— Barb Kahovec students who were suffering from the mental, emotional and physical effects of stress, but were able to find greater comfort and peace through regular yoga practice. Kahovec will celebrate the publication of her textbook during a book-signing event on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. at Café Amano, 116 Schiller St. This event is open to the public. “After teaching at the college for five years, I can honestly say prevention works,” she said. “I wanted to bring the material to my students in a way that would address their needs directly and, hopefully, encourage them to share the joy of yoga with friends and family members.” Practicing yoga since age 16, Kahovec received her yoga certification 15 years ago at the Temple of Kriya Yoga in Chicago and is also certified to teach Pilates through Balanced Body in Chicago. She teaches yoga and Pilates five days a week at Elmhurst College and works one-on-one with private clients. She is a long-time Elmhurst resident and has four adult sons.

York, IC Catholic Prep football teams record wins IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball team victorious again By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The York football team evened its record at 1-1 after a recent 21-14 West Suburban Conference crossover win at home against Leyden. The win snapped a four-game losing streak for the Dukes that dated back to last year. York returns to action Saturday afternoon in Glen Ellyn against Glenbard West. It’s the West Suburban Conference Silver Division opener for both teams. Glenbard West, the defending conference champion, is 2-0 on the season. IC Catholic Prep football The IC Catholic Prep football team has demonstrated it has no problem scoring points. The Knights improved to 1-1 on the season with a recent 56-28 non-conference win over Evergreen Park. IC Catholic Prep scored 32 points in its Week 1 loss (4932) to Bishop McNamara. The Knights return to action Saturday at 1 p.m. at home against Walther Christian in a Metro Suburban Conference crossover game. In the Knights Week 1 loss to Bishop McNamara, quar-

terback Luke Ricobene completed 31 of 39 passes for 342 yards and two touchdowns. Jordan Rowell caught seven passes for 117 yards and ran 17 times for 55 yards. Rowell scored two touchdowns.

tion of a synthetic turf playing surface for football, soccer, lacrosse, baseball and softball, plus a new arched entryway with personalized brick pavers adorning the walkway. The school noted the complex is one of the largest athletic turf playing surfaces in the area with 147,648 sq. ft. of FieldTurf. IC Catholic Prep also is the only high school in the area to have a full-size turf baseball field. The addition of stadium lighting expands the use of the complex to include night games, practices and creates greater usage for the school’s athletic

teams and the extended community that utilizes the facility. The first official IC Catholic Prep event under the lights will be the 2015 Homecoming football game Friday, Sept. 25. The varsity game kicks off at 7:15 p.m., and the evening will include ICCP Football Youth Knight for local grade-school students that offers raffles, prizes and complimentary food and beverage. IC Catholic Prep also will be welcoming alumni, families and friends to an allschool reunion tent party and postgame tailgate. “The addition of lights at Plunkett Athletic Complex is

a huge boost to our athletic programs at IC Catholic Prep,” athletic director Tom Schergen said. “We will be able to host games in the evening now, which will open up more after school times for our studentathletes to practice.” The original plan for the complex included eight stadium lights. The conduit pipe and bases were put into place when the turf was installed. A fundraising effort was spearheaded by the IC Catholic Prep Board of Directors, particularly Scott Sutton and his wife, Becky, who is a1984 graduate of the school. The

fundraising campaign lasted two years and resulted in the school being able to install five lights. “Our deepest gratitude to the Suttons and Mike and Jeannie Curtin for their tireless efforts to raise the funds for the stadium lights and to Scott Sutton and Pete Mulligan for managing the installation process,” said IC Catholic Prep President/Principal Pamela Lavar. Lavar also thanked donors William and Stephanie Annicella, Mike and Jeannie Curtin, Mary Ann Cronin, Tom and

York girls volleyball team off to fine start Rose named MVP of Benet Academy tournament By Mike Miazga Correspondent

James excited for opportunity at IC Catholic Prep New girls basketball coach wants to continue recent success By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — Kelsey James was no stranger to the IC Catholic Prep girls basketball program. “When I was at Mt. Assisi we played them over the years,” she said. “They were always a very talented team and very disciplined.” Those memories were one of the reasons that attracted James to her new position as IC Catholic Prep’s girls’ basketball coach. James takes over for Aubree Schuett, who stepped down over the summer. “Everyone at the school is supportive,” she said. “It’s a good program to be with. The girls are very dedicated and are very excited for the upcoming season. I’m excited to be here. There is a great foundation in place, which is going to make my job a little easier. At the same time, we know we are going to have to try twice as hard because I’m a new coach and everybody that we play is aware of how this program has done. It’s a little added pressure, but we’re looking forward to it.”

James played in high school at Chicago Marist and in college at Lake Forest and Loras (Dubuque, Iowa). She was the head coach the past two seasons at Mt. Assisi, which closed its doors at the end of the 2014-2015 school year. She also works at the Bulls-White Sox training academy in Lisle (she jus completed her fourth year there). James coaches the girls’ travel team there as well as the fall in-house league. “Mt. Assisi and the BullsWhite Sox Academy have helped me a lot,” she said. “At Mt. Assisi I learned a lot about the game. We had a couple of players who had never played before. With the travel team, you are trying to mold different players from different areas into one team. I have a lot of experience in different situations.” James said she will bring an up-tempo style to IC Catholic Prep. “We’re going to run and gun and pressure teams defensively and turn that into points on offense,” she said. “The girls are going to have to be in shape and ready to run the floor.” James is looking forward to this new opportunity. “Being here means so much to me,” she said. “It shows they have confidence in what I have been doing as a coach. Hopefully my background will help bring this program to an even higher level.”

}It’s nice that other people are stepping up and contributing.” — York coach Patty Iverson

ELMHURST — After a rough opening act, the York girls volleyball team found its stride recently. The Dukes shook off a season-opening loss to St. Charles North and won the Benet Academy tournament with a perfect 5-0 record. York defeated Lincoln-Way Central, Morris, Hinsdale Central, Neuqua Valley and Benet Academy all in two sets. York downed Neuqua Valley in the semifinals and Benet in the finals. “We started off awful in our match against St. Charles North,” said York coach Patty Iverson. “We set our sights really high and put all the pressure on our shoulders. St. Charles North played very well and we did not execute in several different areas. It was our inability to play against a solid offense.” Things were a tad different at Benet. “We played good defense,” said Iverson. “People stepped up big. If our big kill hitters were having a tough half-game or full game there were other people who rose up to the challenge and contributed for us. We’re consistently playing nine girls and we’re getting that consistent help with blocking, attacking and on defense. We sure put a lot on Alexandra (Preuss) last year. It’s nice that other people are stepping up and contributing.” Preuss, Sarah Rose and Ally Mann were named to the all-tournament team at Benet. Rose

was named the MVP. Iverson said one area of improvement has been in the middle. “Our middles really have stepped up,” she said. “Sydney Bonthron is much improved. She’s trained very hard. Kristie Paus is a junior and she has been blocking well. She’s put in some hard work in the middle and has done a great job. I’m very happy with our two middles.” On defense, York has been bolstered by the play of Amaya Diaz and Lauren Kalinich, as well as libero Halle Truett. Michelle Wiese also is helping on the outside. “Maya is playing great defense and Laura is up as a sophomore and helping us,” said Iverson. “Halle at libero has been really great and Michelle is swinging outside for us. We’re getting a lot of good contributions. We’re getting nine girls in every match because we needed them in there. It’s nice to see that many people helping us. We’re hoping to continue to do that throughout the season where girls get in there and jump right in.” Iverson said the win against Hinsdale Central in the tournament was important given Hinsdale and York are in the West Suburban Conference Silver Division. “Hinsdale Central is tough,” she said. “Our side of the conference has a lot of big sluggers. You have to be ready for every game.”

IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball team off to great start Coach D’Amore likes where team is at early in season By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball team won its first two matches of the season. And during those matches, coach Nancy D’Amore did plenty of evaluating. “We are at a good place to start the season,” she said. “The chemistry is coming together. The girls are comfortable playing next to each other and the intensity is good. I think like any other team at this point in the season starting off, you get a better idea of the things you need to focus in on. I like that I’m seeing a lot of teamwork.

We’re coming together well. The skills we can work on—the fundamentals is something that can easily be pushed day-to-day. Most importantly I like the kind of team they are.” Back for IC Catholic Prep this year are seniors Claudia Koch (outside hitter), Kerry Mulligan (libero), Katie Harvey (middle blocker) and juniors Tess Reardon (setter-outside hitter) and Katie Hendricks (middle blocker). Koch moved this year from the middle to outside. “Claudia is doing really well,” said D’Amore. Junior Giana Curran also will help out on defense. Junior Molly Fahey is sharing the setting duties with Reardon in a modified 6-2 offense, while sophomore Josie Lytton is playing right side. Hendricks is showing her versatility this season by playing in the middle. “Katie has helped us in the back row with good ball control, good defense

and quickness,” said D’Amore. “When we came back this year and started putting the pieces of the puzzle together we asked Katie to take over duties in the front row and she jumped right in.” D’Amore has plenty of experience to lean on with the likes of Koch, Mulligan and Reardon. “That core group of Claudia, Kerry and Tess goes back to 2013 and the state championship team,” she said. “We have a great amount of experience coming back. The girls coming back are doing a great job of leading and keeping everyone together.” The coach said Glenbard South will be a top contender in the Metro Suburban Conference West Division. “Glenbard South will probably be one of the toughest teams we face in a tough conference,” she said. “We got by Wheaton Academy and that was nice. We lost to them twice last year. Beating

Hurt’s heroics help IC Catholic Prep golf team score big win Knights fare well against tough competition; finish second at Leyden invitational By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — A recent stretch of matches was one IC Catholic Prep golf coach Don Sujack had circled on his calendar. “We were pointing to these events as a mid-season measuring stick of our progress,” said Sujack. And as it turns out, the Knights are progressing quite well. IC Catholic Prep participated in the Leyden invitational at Pheasant Run in St. Charles and also competed against state powers North Shore Country Day (second in Class 1A last year) and Glenbard South (second in Class 2A last year). In the win against Glenbard South, it was junior girls golfer Maddie Hurt who came through in the clutch for the Knights. Hurt plays with the boys team during the regular season and then shifts over to the girls state postseason tournament. IC Catholic Prep does not have a girls golf team. After teammate John Hoffman was in the clubhouse with a 44, Hurt came to the par-4 ninth hole. Sujack noted after a strong drive and medium iron to the left side of the green, Hurt chipped in for a birdie, which turned a one-shot deficit

into a one-stroke victory for the Knights. “This was a big week for us with consecutive matches against traditional state powers,” said Sujack. “The young lady, however, is absolutely unflappable. Day in and day out, Maddie steps up and plays under pressure most can’t even imagine. Every match people openly scoff about a young lady playing varsity boys golf. That is until they see her hit her opening tee shot. My only regret is we won’t be able to take her with us into the IHSA playoffs. She’s got a state title of her own to chase after and this team will miss her come October. But stepping up like she did under these circumstances underscores her tremendous competitiveness.” IC Catholic Prep downed Glenbard South 167-168 in a Metro Suburban Conference West Division match that took place at The Village Links of Glen Ellyn. “This was our second consecutive match against a team that expects to contend for a state title this year,” said Sujack. Connon Leahy and Trey Morris tied for team medalist honors. Each shot 41. Jack Ricobene had a 42. Hurt finished with a 43 and Hoffman had the 44. In earlier action, the Knights finished second at the Leyden invitational. The tournament was shortened to nine holes due to rain and lightning. IC Catholic Prep shot 164, 16 shots behind winner Rolling Meadows. Morris finished fourth in the field with a 38. Hoffman took ninth with a 41. Leahy added

a 42, while Hurt and Charlie Schoonveld each shot 43s. “We continued with some decent play and our scores were respectable considering we played in near-constant rain,” said Sujack. “Trey has enjoyed a tremendous start to his season, but we know that everyone will have to improve in order to start winning tournaments like this.” The Knights also won a nonconference dual meet against St. Joseph by a 192-200 count at Fresh Meadows. Anthony Bavaro was the team medalist with a 46. Troy Simonides shot a 47, while Matt DeWitte added a 49 and Jake DeWitte shot 50. “It was a nice opportunity to play some of our younger players and see them perform in a varsity situation,” said Sujack. IC Catholic Prep then dropped a 158-166 non-conference match to North Shore Country Day at Merit Club in Libertyville. Schoonveld was the meet medalist with a 40. Morris added a 41. Hoffman shot 42 and Ricobene finished with a 43. “We played a very fine team on a wonderful golf course, but came up short,” said Sujack. “Merit Club has a few holes that can put some serious doubt in the back of your mind and it can make you pay. With the exception of Charlie, we all stumbled and threw in a triple or quad. On the bright side, we never quit grinding. Hoff (Hoffman), Ricco (Ricobene) and Charlie really stepped to the forefront in a meet against a very strong team on a challenging tract. I’m hoping we can draw on this in the future.”

them was a big conference start for us and gave us a nice boost in confidence. I think Glenbard South and RiversideBrookfield are two teams that will be up there. We’re going to have to have our ‘A’ game out there and try to capture these conference wins.” IC Catholic Prep will take a different postseason path this year, moving from Class 2A to Class 3A. “We’re taking a two-step approach with our conference schedule which will prepare us for the second season,” said D’Amore. “I think at first we were a little nervous about moving up to 3A. But after we started playing I think the girls are more comfortable with the move. Our goals shouldn’t change because we moved up a class. It’s nice to have the tough conference schedule. We’ll use that to get us ready. We want to push through the state playoffs and that’s how we’ll work every day.”

Week 3 Preview York (1-1) at Glenbard West (2-0)

When: Saturday, 1 p.m. Where: Glenbard West High School, Glen Ellyn Last week: York 21, Leyden 14; Glenbard West 50, Hinsdale South 31 Last year: Glenbard West 48, York 7

Outlook: The Dukes got into the win column for the first time in 2015 with a home victory over Leyden in Week 2. Now, York heads to Glen Ellyn to face a Glenbard West team that has scored 78 points in its two wins. Glenbard West advanced to the Class 7A state semifinals last year. The Hilltoppers have won or shared the conference title in each of the last seven years. York shared the 2010 title with Glenbard West and Lyons Township. The last time Glenbard West was not involved in the championship equation was in 2007 when York and Lyons shared the title. Glenbard West has won 24 conference games in a row. Its last lost came in Week 9 of the 2010 season to Lyons.

Week 3 Preview Walther Christian (0-2) at IC Catholic Prep (1-1)

When: Saturday, 1 p.m. Where: Lewis Stadium at Plunkett Athletic Complex, Elmhurst

Last week: Fenton 41, Walther 8; IC Catholic Prep 56, Evergreen Park 28 Last year: IC Catholic Prep 35, Walther Christian 0

Outlook: The Knights have piled up 88 points in their first two games of the season. Walther Christian has lost 13 games in a row dating back to the 2013 season. Walther lost its opener to Wheaton Academy 39-14 and then lost by 33 points to Fenton. After heading to Elgin next week to face St. Edward, IC returns home on Friday, Sept. 25 against Aurora Central to play the first game under permanent lights at Lewis Stadium.

Timothy Christian cross country teams have eyes on success Girls and boys teams return talented runners By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The Timothy Christian boys cross country team has a major goal it would like to accomplish this season. “Our goal is to qualify for state,” said coach Dick Zylstra. “We have been close the last few years. We are very

determined to run in Peoria this season.” Timothy, which finished third in the Metro Suburban Conference East Division last year, returns senior Michael Larkin, juniors Matt Fox, Aidan Shervheim, Jordan Scheidler, Andy Mittlestaedt, Tommy Troxel and sophomore Will Terpstra. Sophomore Xavier Ross is a key newcomer. Larkin was an all-conference selection as a junior. “Michael always has been under the radar but has consistently performed at or above expectations,” said Zylstra.

Zylstra added Terpstra is another runner who is showing promise. “He is a fierce competitor,” the coach said. Terpstra took third for Timothy in the team’s first meet of the season against Westmont. “We have pretty good depth and a solid core of juniors,” said Zylstra. “We want to develop a strong pack mentality.” Timothy Christian girls cross country The Trojans’ girls cross country team is coming off a 2014 campaign where it took fourth in the Metro Suburban Conference East Division.

York girls swimming team high on talent Dukes return three state qualifiers By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The York girls swimming team has a lot of good going for it. The Dukes, who took third in the West Suburban Conference Silver Division dualmeet season last year and fifth in the conference meet, return three swimmers who qualified for the state meet. Senior Paula Nolte is a returning state qualifier and is the school record-holder in the 200 medley relay and breaststroke. Senior Maggie Schlecht, also is a returning state qualifier and is the school record-holder in the 200 medley and 200 freestyle relays. Sophomore Meghan Quinn rounds out the statequalifier list. She is a school record-holder in the 200 free relay.

Junior Katie Fischer holds six school diving records. The Dukes also will benefit from juniors Sarah Lewand, Allie Orzak and Meaghan McIntyre. “Sarah, Allie and Meaghan were all new to our sectional team last year,” said York coach Sarah Krizmanic. “The three of them along with our returning sectional team athletes should emerge onto the varsity scene as threats in their respective events. They also will make enormous contributions to our relay teams, which have been very strong in years past.” Lewand swims the 50 and 100, while Orzak swims the IM and sprint freestyle events. McIntyre swims the butterfly and 500. Krizmanic has been particularly pleased with Lewand’s progress. “Sarah has made tremendous progress since last season and will emerge onto the varsity stage as a threat in the sprint freestyle events,” she said. “She also is a key member of

our varsity relay teams.” Freshman Birgitte Kammerdiener will help in the diving competition. She comes from the Windy City Diving Club with extensive competitive diving experience. “We have a unique blend of returning varsity athletes and emerging varsity athletes that will require us to reassert our power and abilities in the conference,” said Krizmanic. “Similar to years past, we are looking to contend with strong conference rivals such as Downers Grove North, Hinsdale Central and Lyons Township. The conference is tough.” Krizmanic likes the makeup of this year’s team. “We have a solid group of dedicated and hard-working girls, many of whom are motivated, natural leaders,” she said. “The team functions well in a competitive environment, but also knows how to loosen up and enjoy each other in social situations.”

Returning for Timothy are seniors Hannah Bosman, Megan Middel and Nicole Terpstra. Freshman Olivia Reamer is a key newcomer. Bosman has been an all-conference performer the previous three seasons and has qualified for the state meet in each of her first three years. Bosman also is an accomplished speed skater where she competes at the national level and is knocking on the door to compete at the world level, Zylstra noted. “We would love to have the entire girls team qualify for state rather than just Hannah,” said Zylstra.

York graduate Sullivan signs professional basketball contract Miami-Ohio graduate to play in the Netherlands

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ork alum Will Sullivan has excelled at the high school and college basketball levels. Now Sullivan is getting the opportunity to play at an even higher level. Sullivan, who completed his college career at Miami of Ohio University this past season, recently signed a professional contract to play overseas with the Donar Gronignen team in the Netherlands. Sullivan played in every game during his Miami career, tying the program record for career games played at 124 (he made 84 starts). During this past season he was the team’s second-leading scorer at 10.7 points per game and was its leading rebounder at 4.8 rebounds per game. He ranked second in the Mid-American Conference in 3-point percentage (.444) and knocked down 68 three-pointers to tie for sixth on the program’s singleseason chart. He ranks eighth on the Miami career 3-point field-goal percentage list (.395). Sullivan graduated with a degree in finance. He joins a Donar team that competes in the Dutch Basketball League and has won four national titles (including one in 2014). It also has captured four domestic cup titles, winning three in the last five years including back-to-back titles in 2014 and 2015. “The opportunity officially came about when I was approached by a handful of agents after my last season at Miami,” Sullivan told the Independent via email from the Netherlands. “Once I spoke to them all and finally decided on one, the ball was in his court. He spoke to many professional teams all over Europe. He showed them my game film, talked to them about my game and analyzed where I would fit into their systems. After a long summer of training and waiting for the phone call, the right opportunity came up.” Sullivan said he signed a one-year contract. “Almost all deals in overseas basketball are one-year deals,” Sullivan explained. “This is because players are constantly trying to move up to better leagues or better opportunities across the globe from year to year.” Sullivan added it’s too early to know his exact role for the team. “I’m ready to do whatever I need to do to help my team succeed,” he said. “They brought me in to make outside shots, spread the defense and play tough defense no matter what my matchup is. I’m very excited about the opportunity because these are the things I love doing.” Practice has already started and games will begin in early October. “We compete in the top league in the Netherlands,” said Sullivan. “The majority of our games are played against other teams within our league. We also are competing in the EuroCup this season. This is a tournament that includes some of the best teams from all over Europe. These games also

are played throughout the season depending on how far we advance.” Sullivan added he’s getting along well with his teammates and coaches. “I am the only rookie on the team and they have been great to me thus far,” he said. “There are three other Americans on the team so that helps a lot as well. They have gone through what I am experiencing and they are there to help me through it.” Sullivan has been in the Netherlands since Aug. 29. “The country is absolutely beautiful,” he said. “I am staying in Groningen and it is spectacular. It is the home of one of the biggest universities in the Netherlands so there are people my age all over. The people here are unbelievably friendly so they have made my transition very easy thus far. The main challenge I’ve faced thus far is how physically demanding it all is. It certainly is not a paid vacation. There is a ton of hard work that goes into it, but I love every second of it so far. This is what I signed up for.” Sullivan is thrilled to have the opportunity to play overseas. “It means the world to me,” he said. “This has been a dream of mine since I can remember. I always have wanted to play professionally. When I first started playing with the Illinois Wolves my fresh-

man year of high school, I met a former player who played professionally in Europe and the idea never left the back of my mind after that.” Sullivan noted he gave serious thought to his basketball career after his first two years at Miami. “During my first two years, I had not been playing well enough to set myself up for a career in basketball post-graduation,” he said. “I never gave up on my dream, but I certainly began to think about what I wanted to do after my playing days came to an end. I continued to work hard in the off-season and when my junior year came around, I finally started to find my groove. With the encouragement of my coaches and teammates at Miami, I started to play with the same confidence that I had while I was at York during my final two seasons. My dream to play professionally started to finally look possible. It was then that I made up my mind that this is what I wanted to do.” Sullivan said he’s taken plenty away from his collegiate playing experience. “The main thing I have learned from my college experience is how to persevere,” he said. “I had two coaches while at Miami and had a lot of teammate and close friends transfer during the transition. In the midst of all the moving parts around me, I was not playing as well as I was capable of playing. Through these challenges I was able to find some amazing friends who helped encourage me to work even harder through the troubles I was having. It was because of my family and people I met at Miami that I was able to turn my career around.” His biggest improvements came both on and off the court. “The biggest improvements I made since leaving York have been my jump shot and the mental side of my game,” said Sullivan. “I put a lot of hours into my jump shot until I finally began to shoot like I was capable. As for my mental game, it was very easy to break my confidence during high school and the beginning years at Miami. Working through that taught me how to focus on the details of the game and how much time and effort I have put into them all. This has helped me tremendously.” York coach Vince Doran was thrilled to hear the news Sullivan was turning pro. “The kid is awesome,” he said. “He’s a tremendous worker and just a great person.” As for the future, Sullivan’s plans have a twopronged approach. “My goal is to play as long as I love it and my body allows me,” he said. “I am going in with a very open mind. Maybe this one season goes by and I realize that this was the perfect experience for me. Maybe I love the year that I have and I try to keep playing for as long as my body lets me. As for now, I feel great. I am having a blast playing the sport that I love for a living while seeing the world. I am not taking a moment for granted. None of this would be possible without all the support from friends, family coaches and teammates I’ve had throughout the year. I couldn’t be more thankful. You all helped me reach my dream.”

The five Musco brand stadium lights that have been installed atop 80-ft. poles at Plunkett are the same brand of lights used by the adjacent Elmhurst Park District and Courts Plus properties. With

the five lights, the requirements are met to play night games in football, soccer, lacrosse and softball. The school still is working to raise the additional $120,000 needed to add the final three lights to the Plunkett Athletic Complex, which would allow for baseball to be played at night as well. Currently, more than 25 different organizations from Elmhurst and surrounding communities utilize Plunkett Athletic

Complex. “We invite everyone in the Elmhurst and neighboring communities to come out and enjoy the great atmosphere ‘under the lights’ at Plunkett,” Levar added. “Whether it is cheering for one of our IC Catholic Prep teams or one of the many other community organizations that utilize our state-of-the-art facility, it is sure to be a wonderful way to spend the evening with family and friends.”

Elmhurst residents swim, bike, run in 33rd annual Chicago Triathlon ELMHURST — Forty-eight Elmhurst residents joined more than 9,000 elite, amateur and kid triathletes in the August 29th-30th Transamerica Chicago Triathlon, produced by Life TimeSM – The Healthy Way of Life Company. This year marked the 33rd anniversary of the endurance event, the nation’s largest triathlon. An estimated crowd of nearly 10,000 cheered on the race participants – about onethird of whom were first-time triathletes and half of whom competed in the Chicago Triathlon for the first time. Among Elmhurst’s participating triathletes were Robert and Pauline Tuchscherer. “I did the sprint triathlon last year with a friend of mine, and this year I asked my husband – who’s never done one before – if he’d join me in this year’s race,” Pauline said. “He trained and I was really proud of him. I think he might have been bit by the triathlon bug. He’s already talking about ways to prepare for next year. “It was a great event. It was run extremely well and was a lot of fun. The cooler weather definitely helped for the run.” In addition to the International and Sprint distance events, race weekend also welcomed more than 1,000 7-to-14 yearolds to the Life Time Kids Tri

Emily Shields named 24th Senate District’s Inspiring Educator for 2015

LOMBARD — Inspired by a local teacher who helped a student meet his full potential, State Sen. Chris Nybo (R-Elmhurst) is formulating a program to honor local educators. The Inspiring Educator award program asks parents, students or other community members in the 24th Senate District to recommend individual educators who impact students’ lives in a positive way. “Think of the people who played such an important role in shaping you as a young person – no doubt, one or more of those role models was a teacher,” Nybo said. “Inspiring educators go beyond helping our children learn reading, writing and arithmetic. Their caring and dedication can affect young lives in ways they might not realize and for that, we are grateful.” The 2015 Inspiring Educator award recipient is Emily Shield from Briar Glen School in Glen Ellyn. Shield was nominated by the Lujan family for Ms. Shield’s tireless work with the Lujans’ son Caleb. “I have to say that my students help me as much as I help them. Seeing them make changes in school is amazing. Seeing them make changes at home is profound,” Shield said. “Seeing my student make changes that will help them their whole lives is the reason I do this job. There is no greater satisfaction as a teacher than knowing

you have had a small part in that.” Sen. Nybo has asked his Legislative Advisory Council’s Education Committee, chaired by retired principal Mary Ann Kalis, to set criteria for future award and to create an application process. The committee will review the applications and recommend award winners. “This is a very flexible award,” Kalis said. “The term ‘educator’ opens up the award to all who work with students in a school setting. We wanted to make sure specialized support personnel could be recognized as well.”

Elmhurst YMCA honors Elliot Spiegel Good Samaritan Award bestowed upon long-time volunteer

ELMHURST — The Elmhurst YMCA awarded the Good Samaritan Award to Elliot Spiegel during the 27th Annual Stone Open Golf Tournament at Maple Meadows Golf Club in Wood Dale. Created in memory of longtime YMCA friend Bob Hummel, the award honors the contributions and service of an individual or family to the YMCA and to Elmhurst. Elliot has been an integral part of both for years. He worked at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital as Director of Mate-

rials and Nutritional Resources for 25 years. He joined Elmhurst Kiwanis in 1998 and later served a year as Club president. In 2014, Elliot received the Dr. Luis V. Amador Medallion, another award for outstanding community service. In addition, he has contributed to high profile political work, serving as chairman of the Democratic Party of DuPage and of Lisle Township Democrats. Elliot has been both a board member and served as president of the Suburban Library System and Lisle Library as well as the Metro Library System, made up of 1,000 libraries. Upon accepting the award, Elliot shared a personal story about how the Y holds a spe-

cial place in his family’s history. When his father finished high school, he hitchhiked from Chicago to Los Angeles, frequently using YMCAs across the country because it was a safe place to stay. The elder Spiegel wrote postcards to his mother, Elliot’s grandmother, documenting the different cities and YMCAs at which he stayed. As a result, Elliot has always had a soft spot for the YMCA. Elliot believes that in order to be a good citizen, one needs to give of their time and resources and “fill in the cracks” where other organizations and institutions cannot always cover. Elliot thanked his “beautiful wife Peggy” for her support over the years.

And You Are…David Wallace Haskins Creator of Skycube at Elmhurst Art Museum

By Jean Lawrence For The Independent

oung kids lie on their back for hours looking at the dragons, turtles and trees they see in cloud formations. As adults, we often lose our appreciation for staring at the sky. Artist David Wallace Haskins aims to reignite our love of the sky with his new installation – Skycube - at the Elmhurst Art Museum. Skycube, installed on the museum’s outdoor patio, is a 6,000-pound construction of steel, glass and far infrared light film. The 8’x8’x8’ creation shows the moving image of the actual sky above at eye level through a pictorial plane.

}You sit for a while and look (at Skycube) and it gets hypnotic. It has caught a lot of people’s attention and it’s an honor to have it here at the Elmhurst Art Museum.” — Luisa Castellanos, the museum’s Visitor Services Manager “You feel like the sky is coming down to greet you, like it’s a mythological entity,” David said. “A big part of the work is to invite the viewer to reconnect with the sense of wonder of the sky and see the sky with new eyes. You enter into the experience in four dimensions: the three dimensions of the cube and the fourth dimension of time since the experience is constantly changing as the clouds move.” David grew up a block away from the art museum and his childhood best friend lived at the current site of the art museum before the museum was built. “This exact spot was my playground,” he recalled. “I’d lie on my back and look up at the clouds. And walking to and from Hawthorne (Elementary School)

David Wallace Haskins stands with his Skycube.

I would see rain puddles reflecting the sky. It seemed otherworldly to see the sky out of context like that and I started connecting the sky with art.” Surrealist artist Rene Magritte became one of David’s primary influences even in those early years. “A picture lady at Hawthorne brought in a Magritte print called Time Transfixed and then another one called On The Threshold of Liberty, both of which are at the Art Institute of Chicago,” he said. “I remember just loving those and thinking how beautifully Magritte decontextualized and put the sky in his work because of the sky’s mystery.” While he was at Sandburg Middle School, David worked with art teacher Mrs. Goodwin. “She encouraged my abstract ideas and introduced

Artists invited to submit works for Forest Preserves’ Centennial Exhibit Mayslake display will showcase 100 years of inspiration

OAK BROOK—The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County invites artists inspired by its 100 years of nature to submit work for the centennial “DuPage through the Artist’s Eye” exhibit, which will run Nov. 3 - Dec. 9 at Mayslake Peabody Estate, 1717 W. 31st St., Oak Brook.

Artists who would like to submit drawings, paintings, photographs, prints or other hangable works should contact Mollie Fullerton at mfullerton@dupageforest.org by Sept. 30. Each email should include the artist’s name; the title, medium and dimensions of the piece; the preserve that inspired it (if applicable); the sales price (if applicable); and the artist’s top preference for display if submitting multiple works. If Mayslake receives more entries than it can accommodate,

a panel of visual artists who teach at the estate will choose the pieces for display. Selected artists must drop off their works at Mayslake Hall between 10 a.m. and noon on Oct. 31. “This is a great way for people to share artistic talents that have been inspired by our beautiful preserves,” said Forest Preserve District Commissioner Jeff Redick, District 2. “I am excited to enjoy these tributes as part of our centennial celebration.”

me to Georgia O’Keefe and the idea of color fields, which became a big influence on my art.” Then at York, where he graduated in 1994, David studied under John Nester, who now teaches at the Elmhurst Art Museum and Elmhurst College. “He took me under his wing in the art department and I learned a lot about the process of trial and error.” During a Magritte show at the Art Institute, David met the head of adult education, who later came to visit David’s creation Skywall, a predecessor to Skycube. Their shared appreciation for Magritte led to a friendship and introductions that ultimately connected David to Elmhurst Art Museum curator Stacy Boris. The two started discussing exhibiting David’s work locally. “I had started Skycube already so it was a mutually beneficial relationship,” he said. It’s very exciting to come back to my hometown after living on both coasts and in the city.” So after five years of conceiving and developing Skycube, the piece was installed in August. “It was delivered by a huge crane, towering over the trees,” said David. “I dug four feet down from each of the legs and poured concrete to support the weight of 6,000 pounds. Then we planted trees around the patio to play off Magritte’s use of trees and the sky.” Visiting Skycube is included with museum admission. Luisa Castellanos, the museum’s Visitor Services Manager, had this to say: “The (Skycube) opening was packed with people enjoying music and food on the patio. We are working the piece into our class activities and are finding that we are getting new members. You sit for a while and look (at Skycube) and it gets hypnotic. It has caught a lot of people’s attention and it’s an honor to have it here at the Elmhurst Art Museum.”
