Things get a little tipsy at Touch-A-Truck
The Elmhurst Park District held its annual Touch-A-Truck event on Saturday, Sept. 10 at Berens Park, where kids like these were invited to climb in, on and around the trucks on display – and try the horns and sirens! These kids played in the tilted bed of this Dawson’s Tree Service dump truck, which appears as though it is about to dump THEM! More photos inside.

North York landscape plan could take more than five years Consultant: Could be done faster if $6 million available By Dan McLeister FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT
The North York Street landscape plan could take more than five years to improve the eight blocks, but it could be done faster if $6 million is available, according to consultant Daniel Dalziel of 3D Design Studio. The goal is to unify the North York area with various design elements and make it more pedestrian friendly, he stated. The plan, approved by all 14 al-
dermen at a September 6th City Council meeting, is part of an effort to better connect the north York area with the south York area. In June of 2015, aldermen approved the North York Corridor Plan. Mayor Steve Morley noted that the north York area is part of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District 4 and that it will just take time to develop more fully. Included in the plan is a pattern pavement median, which will make
the road look narrower and is designed to slow down traffic, Deizel noted. The median will provide an “island refuge” for pedestrians crossing York two lanes at a time, according to the consultant. Hardscaping and landscaping elements will enhance the northern gateway to Elmhurst by “dressing up the expressway bridge spanning North York,” Deizel added. A multi-use path on the west side
of York for pedestrians and bicyclists will be incorporated. The plan calls for less curb cuts for better safety. The plan will be done on a blockby-block basis depending on the funds available, according to Deizel. He said government grant money could cover much of the cost. Michael Bram (3rd Ward) noted that is has been a long process with lots of discussion but the City “needs to dive further to see if some of the traffic islands on north York are do-
able.” Bob Dunn (2nd Ward) commented that he was excited about the plan, which will provide a tremendous improvement for the area. He said the enhancements would even improve the looks of private property. Scott Levin (5th Ward) noted that the area would look much better if the power lines could be taken out of the picture. “That would make such a big difference, but the cost would be huge.”
People pause on 9/11 DEE LONGFELLOWPHOTO Elmhurst Independent
Pictured is a couple who took time out of their run/bike ride along the Prairie Path on Sunday afternoon to pay their respects at the 9/11 Memorial on Spring Road. Sunday marked the 15th anniversary of the devastating attacks on American soil, which took place at New York City’s World Trade Center buildings, the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania. The City held a special ceremony on the morning of 9/11 at the Memorial, where an artifact from the Twin Towers was presented – a piece of the subway train that ran beneath the two buildings. The events of 9/11 have come to be known as “this generation’s Pearl Harbor.”

If you could bottle enthusiasm and use it as legal tender, Dr. Troy VanAken could solve Illinois’ budget crisis and still leave cash in the bank. The Independent recently caught up with the 14th President of Elmhurst College to see how his first few weeks in the position were suiting him. The former president of Thiel College in Greensville, Pa., made it clear from the get-go that he and his wife Annette are in this together. “My wife and I are both first generation college graduates,” Dr. VanAken told the Independent. “We recognize that we were helped along the way to be where we are and we want to do the same for others.” Not surprising, he met Annette in a college setting. She holds a Ph.D. in education. They have raised a daughter, now 18, and a son, 20, both of whom chose other colleges to attend rather than “Dad’s.” “It’s not always cool to be the son or daughter of the college president,” VanAken laughed. “They chose to go elsewhere.” The launch of Dr. VanAken’s career Asked how he chose this career path, he said that after being a professor of math and computer science, he was given the opportunity of a lifetime. “I became an interim president at a very young age,” he said. “That was my first taste of administration and I really liked it.” Keeping the coffers full can be one of the biggest and toughest parts of a college president’s job. VanAken shared an experience he had while in his role at Thiel College. “Thiel had, let’s just say, a ‘financial challenge,’ which required a shift in thinking,” he said cautiously. Just last year, with VanAken at the helm, the school surpassed the largest fundraising goal in its 150-year history. In fact, Thiel’s 2016 Campaign had exceeded its $60 million goal 10 months early, thanks to the efforts and gifts of more than 8,500 donors. “We [at Thiel] recognized the costs to families of college-age children and strove to keep education affordable. Classes, faculty, healthcare all play into the challenge.” VanAken is dedicated to helping students afford their education. “At least we have options today,” he said. “There are multiple ways to find funding for school. That is what I see as my personal mission, to be an advocate for higher education for all [income levels].” According to VanAken, the number of students graduating from high schools is currently in decline across the nation. When there are fewer students, there is naturally a financial

impact on a college. “There has been a 10% decline in high school graduates over the past four or five years,” he said. “We want to make sure options are available. We have a strong history but we can’t expect people to just show up. Academics must remain top shelf.” Getting to know the Elmhurst community Dr. VanAken couldn’t say enough about the City of Elmhurst. “This is one of the most vibrant communities I’ve ever seen and a great place for a college,” he said. “It’s evident that the college is a big part of the community and we want to keep it up while focusing on core requirements for our students to prepare them for a good future.” Luckily, the VanAkens were not scared off by a snowy Chicago winter. “We came here in January and February to interview and get acquainted. We were impressed with the high quality of the college, the community, the entire area, however it was cold and snowy! But when we returned in June, we were blown away. It was beautiful! “Annette and I were just so impressed with Elmhurst. Not only is there the safety and security of a suburban community, but also it’s only about 30 miles to Chicago, one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the nation.”
Asked what impressed him the most about Elmhurst, he was quick to answer. “What really blew me away was the hospital,” VanAken said. “I was floored when I saw it, it looks like a picture postcard! To be associated with that hospital through our SIMS [nursing] program and other affiliations, it’s just remarkable. What a nice thing to have in this community.” He said both he and Annette were anxious to get involved in the community. “Everyone has been more than welcoming to us.” His favorite part of the job – the students
“I love talking with young people,” he said. “I love connecting them with the best way to finance their education, but I also just like to be around them and talk to them. I like to think of myself as a ‘favorite uncle.’ I don’t want to be anyone’s dad here, I just want to be the person you like and feel comfortable talking to.” So Dr. Troy VanAken may not be able to solve Illinois’ problems, but he seems more than capable of keeping the resources – all the resources -- that support Elmhurst College coming in. But be warned: that enthusiasm of his is highly contagious.

Legion’s Inaugural Military Ball goes over big By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT
It was meant to be a fundraiser, but turned out to be so much more. The Elmhurst American Legion Post THB #187 Inaugural Military Ball held Saturday, Sept. 10 drew more than 100 people who gathered to honor all those who served in the U.S. Military. Following a reception that included music provided by the Elmhurst College String Quartet, the evening began with the Elmhurst Police Color Guard posting the colors. After the room recited the Pledge of Allegiance, a beautiful rendition of The Star Spangled Banner, our National Anthem, was performed the Elmhurst College Jazz Band under the direction of Doug Beach. As dinner was served, several stood up and offered a toast. As music continued through dinner, the band performed the songs that represent each branch of the military: The Army Goes Rolling Along (informally known as Those Caissons Go Rolling Along); Anchors Aweigh for the U.S. Navy; the United States Marine Corps Hymn

ent of the Congressional Medal of Honor for his service during the Vietnam War. He delivered a short address after dinner before the
guests took to the dance floor. Sponsors for the evening included, at the Four Stars level: the City of Elmhurst, Elmhurst College, with generous assistance from Drs. Troy and Annette VanAken (new president of the college) and Gary, Allison and Kalli Wilson in honor of David F. Wilson, WWII Navy veteran. At the Three Stars level was Community Bank of Elmhurst, Edward-Elmhurst Health and John Buckley. Two Stars sponsors were Kiwanis Club of Elmhurst, Lakeside Bank, Larry Roesch Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram & Ford and Classic Cinemas.

Pictured here at the Inaugural Military Ball is Margaret R. Finn, who served as a nurse during World War II, rising to the rank of Hospital Corps First Class. Her family said she had many sad stories, some horrific, about tending to wounded soldiers at that time. “It wasn’t at all like [the sitcom] MASH!” her son-in-law commented. Mrs. Finn is the mother of Elmhurst resident Charity Ahlgrim. The Elmhurst College Jazz Band, under the direction of Doug Beach, performed at the Military Ball held at the Elmhurst American Legion on Saturday, Sept. 10. Besides a remarkable performance of our National Anthem, the band played the songs of each branch of the service. Anchors Aweigh for the U.S. Navy; The Marines Anthem (From the halls of Montezuma), the U.S. Air Force (Off we go into the wild blue yonder); U.S. Army (As the caissons go rolling along), and Semper Paratus for the U.S. Coast Guard. Guests who served stood up when the theme song for their branch of service was played.

Larger road salt storage facility Aldermen have approved a larger road salt storage facility: 5000 tons compared to the current 1600 tons. Bob Dunn (2nd Ward) said he struggled with the size, because “you do not build a church to accommodate Christmas and Easter Mass.” However, he voted to approve the measure, as did all other aldermen. Chris Healy (5th Ward) commented that the size was necessary so the City did not have to pay exorbitant prices on the open market if it ran out of salt during the winter.

We had an urgent issue in the bathroom – as bathroom issues can sometimes be. An annoying drip from the tub’s faucet had grown into an exasperating trickle that could no longer be ignored. This occurred on a Sunday (of course it did) when any plumber worth his plunger had the day off. Hence we were left to our own resources. I took this as a challenge. I like challenges. My husband is okay with challenges, but he prefers spending Sunday afternoons on the couch watching whatever sporting event is on TV. This weekend it was golf. And despite the phenomenal edge-of-your-seat sporting frenzy that TV golf provides, the bathroom was calling. At least I heard it calling. I fully understood what this Niagara Falls of a leak might do to our water bill. So I set out to educate myself on bathroom faucets. After viewing a few online tutorials (which can make anyone an expert), I prepared to take action. I turned off the house’s water supply and grabbed a variety of tools, most of which were featured in the tutorials. My husband remained on the couch. He hadn’t yet caught my passion for plumbing, which didn’t matter because I was feeling plumber-strong and ready to take a crack at the job. I grabbed a hammer and headed for the biffy. I took to pounding on parts that needed loosening. My husband, hearing the ruckus and undoubtedly fearing the damage I could do with a hammer, soon joined me and we proceeded to dismantle the faucet. According to the tutorials, we were in search of old O-rings, which are rubberish gaskets that create a tight seal and prevent leaks. After much prodding and pushing of various parts we found ourselves some O-rings. One was in clear need of replacement and we headed to the hardware store, full of hope. The new O-ring cost 29 cents (31 with tax). We made the purchase and felt giddy at the overall ease of our project. We returned home and replaced the O-ring. Our collective confidence filled the tiny bathroom. My

husband went to turn on the water and soon thereafter it became crystal clear: our work was far from complete. The trickle of a leak had become a full-fledged stream. We may be plumbingly-challenged, but we aren’t quitters, so we shut the water off, re-dismantled the faucet and saw that our brand new O-ring was no longer brand new. It was mangled. We removed it from the faucet doo-hickey and returned to the hardware store to spend another 31 cents. We figured the first O-ring was faulty – an anomaly. The second O-ring gave us a renewed sense of confidence. Temporary confidence; because it too showed up mangled. The water flow in the bathroom continued. We returned to the hardware store – again. And again. On the final trip we bought 62 cents worth of O-rings, to trigger good mojo and to save on gas for future trips. Of course in the midst of all this each one of the kids had an immediate and paramount need to take a shower. At 2:00 in the afternoon. Because that is a common time to shower, apparently. We managed to accommodate them – between trips to the hardware store, where we spent a grand total of $1.55. And, even though I increased my proficiency with a pipe wrench, the faucet won in the end. It’s still broken and we’re in search of a plumber. A real professional – not just some guy on YouTube, or worse yet an amateur like me who’s watched a couple of his videos.

Tree is planted at Sandburg in memory of Annie LeGere FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT
Following a long process in Springfield spearheaded by State Sen. Chris Nybo (R-Elmhurst), dignitaries at the local and state and county level gathered to celebrate the passage of the Annie LeGere Law by planting a tree at Sandburg Middle School.

The 13-year-old Sandburg student passed away from anaphylactic shock after suffering a severe allergic reaction, that had never been diagnosed.

Local surgeon living his dream By Marisa Mancini FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT
Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Hutchinson, a 22-year Elmhurst resident, fulfilled his career dream this summer when he served as a physician on the United States Olympic Committee medical team in Rio de Janeiro. His path to this momentous event began 27 years ago when Hutchinson attended the first International Olympic Committee Congress on Sports Sciences in Colorado Springs. A few years later, he volunteered at the Olympic training center. Over the years, he has been invited to travel with various USA Olympic teams during their training and competitions. Hutchinson cared for the USA Rhythmic Gymnastics Team prior to and during the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. In 2006, he was part of the medical team at the Paralympic Games in Turin. Additionally, he worked with the USA Rhythmic Gymnastics Team at the 2015 Pan American Games. Hutchinson stated that these experiences served as his training ground and indicated to the USOC that he was up for the task in Rio. Hutchinson was sitting in his office at the University of Illinois, Chicago, where he has served as head of sports medicine for 24 years, when he received the call from Bill Mareau, Chief Medical Officer for the USOC. Mareau told Hutchison he had been selected to serve on the “umbrella” team of physicians who would provide medical support to any U.S. Olympic athlete who needed care and that he would cover other sports teams that did not bring their own doctor. Four weeks before the games, Hutchinson learned he would have a

more specific role. He was selected by the rhythmic gymnastics team and the Equestrian team to be their team doctor. Shortly thereafter, USA Gymnastics called the USOC and requested Hutchinson be the team doctor for the
USA Women’s Artistic gymnasts – the Final Five – because of Hutchinson’s 2006 and 2015 experience with the rhythmic gymnasts. Hutchinson arrived in Rio two weeks before the games to help set up
US Women’s Gymnastics Coach Marta Karolyi joins Dr. Hutchinson to enjoy an Olympic moment at the Rio Olympics, where he served as a team doctor. This is Karolyi’s final year of coaching and the final year the US Women’s Gymnastics team will have five athletes - hence the Final Five designation. Next year, the team will have only four.
the medical facility in preparation for the athletes’ arrival. “The Olympic Village consisted of 28 18-story buildings and the cafeteria could accommodate the entire village at one time,” said Hutchinson, recalling the amazing structure. “Everywhere I looked, I saw Olympians. At mealtime, I had the opportunity to sit and talk with athletes from all over the world. It was fascinating. I was an ambassador, reaching out to other countries as a representative of the United States.” While Hutchinson stated that each one of his 30 days in the “bubble” of the Olympic Village was memorable, he did identify some highlights. He was awe-struck by the Final Five team’s focus and intensity as they trained with their coach Marta Karolyi, and by their ability to relax and interact with other athletes, giggling and trading pins. He watched their every performance and was present for every medal ceremony. Each time, he was overwhelmed with patriotic pride. Hutchinson was also overwhelmed by the vast array of medical professionals that came together to serve the athletes. “Athletic trainers, physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors, internists, massage therapists - everyone contributed and respected everyone’s skill set,” he said. Hutchinson had never seen such a “team approach to medicine” before. Hutchinson admits he was enveloped in the moment the entire time he was there. The U.S. Equestrian Federation was wonderfully welcoming to
him, he said. He treated several equestrian athletes for various illnesses and was there to watch them medal in evening, dressage, and jumping. “It is all about supporting the athletes, and when I think I helped even in a small way to make a difference, I feel honored,” he said. He also recalls the ritual of the U.S. swim team. Before the competition, the whole team would form a circle in the Village and sing God Bless America, followed by feverishly chanting “U-S-A! U-S-A!” “It was a motivational, patriotic, wonderful moment I will always remember,” he said. Hutchinson was especially moved by USA Women’s Basketball Team gold medalist Sylvia Fowles. He first met Fowles when she played for the Chicago Sky and he was the team’s physician. Hutchinson and Fowles reconnected in Rio. Recently, Hutchinson arrived home to find Fowles had sent him her practice jersey autographed by the entire USA Women’s Basketball Team in recognition of all his years of dedication to the athletes. “Receiving that jersey was a priceless experience,” he exclaimed. While Dr. Hutchinson says he is “still floating” from his Rio experience, he has a lot to keep him occupied. In addition to being the head of all sports at UIC, he is a full tenured professor, teaches residents, conducts research, performs surgery, and treats patients. “I like to wear different hats. Being involved in all these aspects of medicine keeps me fresh.”

Two local Girl Scouts give craft cart to children’s hospital
By Dee Longfellow
FOR THE INDEPENDENT
Ruby Schwan and Mia Sherman from Elmhurst’s Girl Scout Troop 51296 recently donated a craft cart to the children’s hospital at Central DuPage. It was presented to Dora Castro-Ahillen, Child Life Therapy Coordinator at CDH, by the Scouts as the culmination of their Silver Award, the second highest award available in Girl Scouts and the highest a Girl Scout Cadette (grades 6-8) can earn. Mia and Ruby worked on this
project for the past year, developing the idea, talking with multiple hospitals and encouraging donations of supplies or money. Finally, they put it all together and presented everything to CDH. “We couldn’t even imagine how boring and scary it would be to have to stay in a hospital for days, weeks, or even years,” the girls said. “We wanted to create a fun, entertaining option for kids in a hospital to get their minds off of their sickness or injury and to entertain them.”
Movies in the Park presents The Princess Bride Sept. 16 The movie begins at dusk, but bring the kids early to grab a spot or participate in a family craft project at 7:30 p.m. prior to the movie. This event is presented by the Elmhurst Park District, the Elmhurst Public Library and the Elmhurst Art Museum. Info: visit epd.org or call 630993-8924.

Elmhurst family steps up to the challenge for ALS Tooles named team chairs for upcoming Walk for Life BY PATTI PAGNI FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT
The bright red Matt’s Minions t-shirts have been ordered and on Sunday, Sept. 18, a red army of about 100 of Matt Toole’s family and friends will join him as he and his wife, Karen, lead the crowd as Team Chairs for the ALS Walk for Life at Soldier Field in Chicago.
“
We just try to do it all together. We are making memories.”
– Karen Toole
The Les Turner ALS Foundation named the Elmhurst couple the Team Chairs for the Walk for Life that is expected to have more than 7,000 participants, making it one of the world’s largest gatherings for the ALS community. “The Les Turner Foundation is a great organization,” said Toole, 46, who has ALS. Toole who started showing symptoms in 2010, but wasn’t diagnosed with ALS until 2013 after years of medical tests ruled out everything from cancer to Lyme disease. It finally pointed to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or what is commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. “We are incredibly honored to be the chairs this year,” said Karen. “We did the walk for the first time last year…it was so inspirational. This year we kick off the walk and participate in opening ceremonies… go up on stage. It’s going to be awesome.” The Tooles’ two children, Regan, 14, and Paddy, 13, are big fans of the Despicable Me movie franchise and loved how the minions helped badguy-turned-good Gru battle evil. It was the kids who came up with the name Matt’s Minions because Karen says they have so many helpers. “We couldn’t do this without our friends and family,” she said. “People bring meals. People just showed up and cleared our snow when we had a couple of those blizzards. We still don’t know who they are some-

times…we call them elves.” “The support has definitely helped,” agreed Matt. “The dinners…everything is just one less thing for us. We are taking every day as a gift and making the most of it. It’s easier said than done…and it’s not easy, but we try to stay positive.” The Tooles said they were doing the walk because it’s very motivational and inspirational. “Awareness is key and every little bit [of funds] raised makes a difference,” Matt said. “Les Turner uses the money raised in a bunch of different ways…home support, equipment, supplies…things not covered by insurance. The more awareness, the more funds…the more research, and who knows someone may stumble across something one day that leads to a cure.” ALS is a rapidly-progressing motor neuron disease that robs those stricken with it of the ability to walk, talk, eat and eventually breathe. Elmhurst’s Phil Schwarz, meteorologist for ABC 7 Chicago, will again serve as emcee for the walk. Schwarz also has a personal connection with ALS, losing his grandmother and uncle to the devastating disease. “I remember as a kid…the horror of ALS,” said Schwarz. “It left an indelible impression on me.” Schwarz, who participated in 2014’s wildly rampant ALS ice bucket challenge, is hopeful that all of the awareness and keeping ALS in the limelight will help lead to a cure. “I know there are brilliant people
looking at [ALS],” he said, “…and with the medical advancements and the study of genes, you’d have to
imagine there will be huge advances in the not-too-distant future.” Matt Toole also participated in
the ice bucket challenge alongside Visitation School’s football teams a couple years back when his children both attended school there. Regan has since graduated and is a freshman at York High School. Dozens of young teammates of Paddy doused themselves with ice-cold water to show their support. “Matt is doing very well despite ALS,” said Karen. “He is living his life. We go to the kids’ games. We get out and about. We welcome the awareness, the whole community and the prayers.” Matt says his wife and kids have been “amazing” and although he has come to grips with the fact that he has no strength in his arms or legs and can’t really do anything for himself anymore. Still, he chooses to focus on the positive. “I can still talk, swallow and breathe,” he said. Despite the obvious struggles and hard work it takes to help get Matt dressed and ready to leave the house, the Toole family can be seen in the same section of pews every Sunday at Visitation Parish’s 10 a.m. Mass. “Faith is a big part of it,” said Matt. “We just try to do it all together,” said Karen. “We are making memories.”

Fischer students celebrate history at one-room schoolhouse
Pictured is a group of students from Conrad Fischer School who performed in authentic costumes at the Churchville School Fall Open House in 2015. The students from the school will return to this year’s event scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 1.
• Churchville
(Continued from page 16) to Addison Township around 1846. Children from the towns now known as Elmhurst, Bensenville, and Addison attended the school until 1930. The Schoolhouse was managed by Elmhurst School District 205 from 1988 to 2001, and was used to teach history lessons to students. The City of Elmhurst took ownership in 2001, and an extensive ren-
ovation took place in cooperation with the town of Bensenville. The restoration was completed in 2010, and today the Elmhurst History Museum staff—with the support of the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation—presents hands-on educational history programs to schoolchildren, scout troops, and adult groups by appointment.

The fountain of youth
Yes, a youth like this one always enjoys playing in the fountain any time there is an event in downtown City Centre, like Rock The Block, which took place Saturday, Sept. 10. It turned out to be a beautiful, bright sunny day, less humid than it has been, but warm enough to want to cool off in the fountain, apparently!
Where there’s smoke...
…there’s music! Fear not, there was no fire on stage at Rock The Block on Saturday evening, it was just smoke machine the band ARRA brought along to enhance their performance. The group performed a variety of rock hits by Rush, REO Speedwagon and other popular groups.

Timothy Christian girls volleyball team continues to roll Trojans score two more conference victories By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT
After winning the recent Timothy Christian-Westmont tournament, the Timothy Christian girls volleyball team kept the momentum rolling last week. The Trojans scored conference wins over Elmwood Park and Guerin Prep to move to a perfect 9-0 overall and 3-0 in conference play. Timothy won the TC-Westmont tournament for the third year in a row. In the tournament victory, Trojans coach Scott Piersma was especially pleased with how his team competed on the first day of the event.
“We played very well that Friday night in pool play,” he said. “We had good wins against Latin, IC Catholic Prep and Harvest Christian. We were dominant at the net on offense and on defense Friday night.” Timothy was the No. 1 seed coming out of pool play and thus squared off with new conference foe Elgin St. Edward (No. 2 seed out of its side of the tournament) in the semifinals. Timothy won in three sets. That put the Trojans in the championship match against the same Harvest Christian Academy out of Elgin that they saw in pool play. “Harvest played better and we didn’t come out as strong,” said Piersma. Timothy downed Harvest in three sets for the title. “We were able to regroup and beat them in three,” the coach added. “We had two tough matches that day.” Timothy faced St. Edward in a
conference match earlier this week. “It was good to see them right away,” said Piersma. “We know we are going to have to be ready for them and Chicago Christian. Those will be two tough matches in the conference.” Piersma stressed it will take a continued team effort to succeed as the season rolls on. “When the girls play together as one unit we look really good,” he said. “When the girls do their job at the net and put the ball to the floor that only happens when the girls behind them get the ball where we want it to go. When those two work together, we play very good volleyball. But when we get quiet and things get segmented, we don’t look so hot. When we realize we have to do it all together and everybody has a job to do, that makes

IC Catholic Prep golf team wins three dual matches York girls golf team defeats Addison Trail and St. Ignatius By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

carded a 43. In a 161-179 win over RiversideBrookfield, Leahy was the medalist with a 37. IC Catholic Prep also downed Montini 175-178. Morris again was the medalist with a 41. “It was a productive week,” said Knights coach Don Sujack. “We won all three matches and survived some ups and downs. Trey, Connon and Maddie all are coming along nicely and I like the direction we are heading.” York girls golf The York girls golf team recorded a recent 184-277 win over Addison Trail at Sugar Creek. Tarryn Becker
was medalist with a 41. Katie Wegmann shot 45. Jenny Diamond and Mia Spedale each shot 49. The York junior-varsity team scored a 189-247 win over Addison Trail at Sugar Creek. Cassie Sika was the meet medalist with a 44. Haley Blattner shot 47, while Rachel Perry had a 48. Claudia Schreiber finished with a 50. York also recorded a 173-185 nonconference win against St. Ignatius at Sugar Creek. Diamond was the medalist with a 38. Becker shot 42, while Wegmann had a 46. Christine Millins had a 47. York’s JV won 196-224. Blattner was the medalist with a 45. Olivia
Cook shot 48, while Jenna Koeppen had a 49. Sika shot 54. York boys golf The York boys golf team placed sixth out of 25 teams at the Fenton invitational at White Pines. York shot a 317 for 18 holes. Kyle Kubycheck and Mark Leali each shot 78s to lead the Dukes. Mitchell Russell shot 80, while Jake Brown had an 81 and Tom Manning shot 82. The Dukes also scored a 154-159 West Suburban Conference Silver Division win over Downers Grove North to move to 4-1 in duals and 2-1 in WSC Silver action. Leali shot a 37 to lead York. Rus-
sell had a 38, while Brown shot 39. Aidan Mann and Manning each shot 40s. “We played well in our win over a good Downers Grove North team at their home course,” said York coach Jim Borel. “Our score of 154 is closer to what we are capable of and what we need to shoot going forward into the IHSA tournament season. Our kids are working hard and we are optimistic about the next few weeks.” Through late last week York was averaging 155.44 for nine holes. Leali was tops on the team at 37.38 for nine holes. Russell was averaging 38.63, while Brown was at 40.0 and Kubycheck was at 40.88.

(Continued from page 31) things fun and much smoother.” Ava Venema has continued her season-long strong play. “Ava so far this year has been dominant,” said Piersma. Kendra Teune has been an offensive force as well. “Kendra on the outside is doing the same thing,” said Piersma. “She continues to put balls down hard and even when we get out of system we know we can get it out to her.” Piersma also lauded the emergence of Ruth Hruska-Kelley on the right side. “Ruth has been very good attacking. She has a nice hard and powerful swing. She helps keep that offensive balance across the net.” Zoe Stanton, Rachel Stoll and Abygale Ahn have been strong for the Trojans in the back row. “This is Zoe’s second year as libero and along with Rachel and Abygale have formed a solid base out there. Abygale is only a sophomore and has fit right in and you have Zoe and Rachel back there doing a good job reading things.” Piersma pointed to the next two
weeks as some pivotal times for the Trojans. In addition to playing St. Edward this week, the Trojans face Illiana Christian and Chicago Christian next week. Illiana has moved to the other side of the Metro Suburban Conference. Chicago Christian is a conference match for Timothy. “We have some big tests coming up,” said Piersma. “The next two weeks are going to be big with some tough matches. That’s good for us. I’m happy with how we are playing right now. When we have everything going, we are playing some really good volleyball.” In a 25-11, 25-13 win over Guerin Prep, Teune had six kills, five digs and two aces. Venema had three kills. Setter Tracy Westra finished with 17 assists and three digs, while Hruska-Kelley had eight kills. Teune had six kills in Timothy’s 25-9, 25-16 win over Elmwood Park. Venema had eight kills and two aces. Westra had 20 assists and three aces. Stanton finished with 12 digs, while Stoll had six digs.

Sometimes we can drift away from our style of soccer and over to the tempo of our opponent. I’m very happy but we know we can get better.” Fernandes added the team’s presence in the Pepsi Showdown will only benefit it down the road. “We’re really happy to be in it,” he said. “It’s very cool to be able to play bigger schools, especially since we moved up to Class 2A this season.”

The Timothy Christian boys soccer team isn’t shying away from tough competition. The Trojans returned to the Pepsi Showdown tournament and opened play with a 4-3 victory over Plainfield South. “It was a big win for us,” said Timothy coach Steve Fernandes. “It was a little crazy out there. We had two guys out taking the ACT and two guys recovering from injuries. We were down a goalie and a couple of center backs. It was a next guy up thing. Everybody played fairly well for us. It was definitely a nail-biter toward the end.” Jimmy Allen scored a hat trick
“Andrew is a sophomore who plays right back,” he said. “He was on the team last year but did not get a ton of varsity minutes. He’s been incredibly solid this season.” Martens and team-leading scorer Allen have been two more keys to the team’s success. “Mike Martens has stepped up in every way,” said Fernandes. “Other teams always are talking about how good a player he is. Jimmy is our leading scorer and has been very dangerous up top for us.” Timothy played earlier this week in the Pepsi tournament. The Trojans

it, we are really good at possessing the ball. But so far we’ve had some lapses where we play pretty well for 15 minutes and then not so well for 10 minutes.” Fernandes has been pleased with the squad’s defensive progress. “The defense has played solid,” he said. “That was sort of the biggest question mark coming into the season. We graduated guys and Isaiah Whittaker is out for the season with a knee injury. A lot of guys have stepped up and have played well back there.” In particular, Fernandes has seen Vogt take a step forward thus far.

with three goals. Mike Martens had the other Timothy goal. Josh Anderson, Allen and Andrew Vogt each had an assist. Timothy led 3-0 at halftime and 4-1 at one point. Plainfield scored a pair of quick goals with about 15 minutes left in regulation. “It was a sort of crazy last 10 minutes,” said Fernandes. The win moved Timothy to 4-11 overall. The Trojans were 1-0 in conference play through late last week. Timothy also has wins against Illiana Christian, Walther Christian and North Shore Country Day. Timothy won its games against Walther and North Shore by a combined 13-1 count. The Trojans lost to Wheaton Academy and tied Glenbard South—both teams play in the opposite side of the Metro Suburban Conference. “Even more so than last year we have a lot of guys who all-around are playing well technically,” said Fernandes. “When we are committed to

Timothy Christian girls tennis team shows promise Ahn, Beard and Monat headline list of returners By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT
The Timothy Christian girls tennis team logged yet another strong season a year ago in going 17-3 and winning the Metro Suburban Conference East Division title. Though the Trojans graduated a number of key components from that team, they still have plenty left in the tank this fall. Headlining the list of returners is the trio of sophomore Abygale Ahn (who also plays on the girls volleyball team), senior Danielle Beard and senior Maddie Monat. Ahn played first doubles and second singles last year and is playing No. 1 singles this season. She was a conference champion at No. 1 doubles, took second at the sectional and won one round in the state tournament. Ahn was 9-1 in singles action last year prior to sectionals.
“Abygale will be a tough competitor this year despite double duty with volleyball,” said Timothy Christian coach Keith Mills. “She is a very competitive player with a good allaround game.” Ahn already has scored key wins against IC Catholic Prep’s Kelly Hodyl in three sets and Glenbard South’s Naomi Campbell by a 6-0, 6-2 count. “Abygale could be Top 16 in the state in Class A this year,” said Mills. “Our top of the lineup will be tough.” Beard and Monat are the Trojans’ No. 1 doubles team this season. Beard is a four-year varsity starter who played No. 2 singles and No. 1 doubles last year. She was a conference champion at No. 2 singles in 2014 and 2015 and qualified for state in doubles with Monat last year. Monat also was an all-conference selection last year.
IC Catholic Prep boys soccer team defeats Evergreen Park Second-year program heading in right direction; Knights play to 3-3 tie with ACC
By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT
After a tough opening-game loss to Montini, the IC Catholic Prep boys soccer team came away with a better result in a recent contest against Evergreen Park. The Knights were 2-1 winners in the non-conference game. “We’re doing well. This is only our second year,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Javier Andrade. In the win against Evergreen Park, usual midfielder Alex Meurer was moved up top. “We moved him to forward and changed some tactics,” said Andrade. “Our defense also played excellent. We had the lead against them the whole second half.” Andrade cited recent strong play for the likes of defender Kris Askew, as well as Meurer, and freshmen Thomas Sloan and William Russ. Forward Francisco Monteon also has been a key contributor. IC Catholic Prep also competed in the Reavis tournament where it went 0-3. “We played some highcaliber teams,” said Andrade. “Even though we got beat 6-1, 6-0 and 4-3, it was good for us to play against those teams. We know we can play faster and body-to-body.” The 4-3 loss came to De La Salle. “I’m happy with where we are at as a second-year program,” said Andrade. “People tell me this is real
good for a second-year program because it usually takes two or three years before you start winning. This is a good group. We have kids who have never played soccer before and we’re teaching them the respect and discipline that comes with the sport. They all are learning it’s about the team and not individuals. They are improving their games and are having a lot of fun out there. The kids are getting better and it’s also good they are getting better against good teams.” In other recent action, the Knights played to a 3-3 tie with Aurora Central Catholic. Meurer scored IC Catholic Prep’s first goal eight minutes into the game. ACC came back with two goals and went into halftime with a 2-1 lead. The Chargers added a goal five minutes into the second half to go up 3-1. With 10 minutes left in the game, Andrade changed his formation to a 3-4-3 and with five minutes left Monteon scored the team’s second goal. Two minutes later, Sloan tied the game. “It was a good game for our young program,” said Andrade. “This tasted more like a win for us after being down by two goals in the last five minutes of the game.” Andrade also lauded Askew for another strong defensive performance.
“Danielle and Maddie have things to work on but should be a strong team in Class A,” said Mills. “Our second and third doubles are a work in progress but have potential to win 10 or more matches.” Key newcomers to the team include senior Allison Zeilstra, senior Kaleigh Bone, junior Avy Truax, junior Anna Thompson and senior Olivia Helmus. Zeilstra, who previously played volleyball at the school, is the sister of Annika Zeilstra, a twotime state qualifier at Timothy. Bone
will play No. 2 doubles this season, while Truax will play No. 2 singles. Thompson and Helmus will play No. 3 doubles. “The girls have a strong desire to improve,” said Mills. “They also get along well and have positive attitudes.” Mills said with Illiana Christian shifting to the other side of the conference his team should be a heavy favorite to repeat as conference champions with Ridgewood being a top-tier team in the division.
“We lost three strong players from last year so there will be challenges,” said Mills. “Our No. 1 goal is to be a better team in October compared to where we were in August. We would like to be conference champs again, have a 15-win season and qualify five players for state.” Timothy has defeated IC Catholic Prep and Lisle and lost 3-2 to longtime rival Glenbard South. Ahn won her match 6-0, 6-2 against Glenbard South while Beard and Monat were 6-3, 7-6 winners.
York boys soccer team making progress Dukes finish second in recent Lake Park tournament By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT
After a second-place showing at the Lake Park tournament earlier this season, the York boys soccer team has kept its progress going forward. While the Dukes dropped a recent 5-2 West Suburban Conference Silver Division contest to a tough Hinsdale Central team, coach Lukasz Majewski was pleased with how his team performed against a perennial state contender. “It’s a big score, but it doesn’t show how the game was played,” said Majewski. “We fell off a little bit in the last 15 minutes of the second half. We had a couple defensive mistakes that cost us.” York led 1-0 and then 2-1 at one point. “We gave up a goal with 30 seconds left in the first half and then it was back and forth for most of the second half,” said Majewski. “We had a great opportunity to go up 3-2 but their goalie made a fantastic save. They came down a couple minutes later and were able to squeeze a ball through and then about 90 second later they scored very similar to the last play and went up 4-2 with 10 minutes to play. We then gave up a counter-attack goal with only two defenders in the back. If we can clean up those defensive mistakes we are going to have better results going forward. It was not a 5-2 game.” Joe Reinhofer and Christian Waldschmidt each had a goal for the Dukes (2-3-1 overall). At Lake Park, York defeated Lake Park and Wheaton St. Francis, lost to South Elgin and tied Wheaton North. “We are learning,” said Majewski. “I talked to the boys after the last game and we have to learn how to play with the lead. We’re not finishing teams off. Hinsdale Central is a team that knows how to fight back because they have been there so many times. We are still learning
that process. When we have a team on the ropes we have to put them away. Overall, we are improving. We still need to iron some things out. We have players playing in different spots and we’re seeing what works.” Majewski said Waldschmidt has been a key spark for the team in the midfield. “He’s been a stabilizing player in the midfield patrolling around the game,” he said. Joe Chornij has played well on the defensive end. “Joe has been outstanding playing on the back line,” the coach said. “He’s been shutting down the other teams’ biggest
threats.” Reinhofer also had a pair of goals in the win against Lake Park. “Joe has produced on top and Christian has been stabilizing the middle and Joe Chornij has been pretty dominant in the back, especially in the air with getting a lot of head balls,” said Majewski. York has upcoming contests against Proviso West and Willowbrook. “We have another busy week coming up,” said Majewski. “We would like to string together a couple wins here and start a nice streak.”
Week 4 Preview York (1-2, 0-1) at Hinsdale Central (3-0, 1-0)

The Dukes will encounter a Hinsdale Central team that has put up 98 points in three games against American Fork (Utah), Downers Grove South and Downers Grove North. Hinsdale Central went 7-3 last year.
Week 4 Preview Chicago Christian (1-2) at IC Catholic Prep (3-0)
When: Friday, 7:15 p.m. Where: Lewis Stadium at Plunkett Athletic Complex, Elmhurst Last week: IC Catholic Prep 56, Elmwood Park 0; Wheaton Academy 46, Chicago Christian 6 Last year: Did not play Outlook: This is IC Catholic Prep’s second and final Metro Suburban Conference crossover game before it begins Blue Division competition next week in Elgin against St. Edward. The Knights have scored 153 points in their first three games. Jordan Rowell has led the way with 573 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns. Chicago Christian split its first two games, losing 28-26 to Chicago Noble/Bulls and defeating Crossroads Academy out of Big Rock by a 54-28 count. Chicago Christian then lost its first MSC crossover game last week to Wheaton Academy (46-6).

West Coast Cool Jazz coming to Bethel UCC
Bethel United Church of Christ will present Jeff Hedberg & C11 on Saturday, October 8 at 7 p.m., as part of its Music@Bethel Concert Series. The critically acclaimed 12-piece jazz ensemble promises an evening of swinging rhythms and jazz interpretations of the Great American Songbook, including “Nice Work If You Can Get It,” “They Can’t Take That Away From Me,” “Lulu’s Back in Town,” “The Surrey with the Fringe on Top” and more. Formed in April 2008, the group performs mostly historical arrangements in the West Coast cool jazz style, selections from several albums that the jazz genius Mel Tormé recorded in the mid-50s. In fact Hedberg—a Chicago-based jazz vocalist, flugelhorn/trumpet player—is often compared to a younger Mel Tormé. With his smooth tenor voice, he swings, scats and caresses the lyrics of the great jazz tunes with fidelity and sincerity twice his years. Hedberg’s group, C11, features many of the top soloists, section players and freelance artists who are also part of the Chicago music scene. In addition to Hedberg, musicians include (but are not limited to) Rich Moore, Ian McGarrie, Ted Hogarth, Lisa Taylor, Steve Duncan, Rich Armandi, Joe Lill, Nick Drozdoff, Ken Spurr, Joe Policastro and Darren Scorza. A wine reception will follow the concert. Bethel United Church of Christ is located at 315 East St. Charles Road in Elmhurst. Tickets, available online at musicatbethel.com or by calling 630-279-4040, are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors and $5 for students. The church is accessible and parking is free. Enter at the Sandburg Middle School entrance from St. Charles Road, or from Huntington off Poplar Street.

Maureen Denhoff as Billie Dawn turns on her charm for reporter Paul Verrall, played by Erick Sosa, in the upcoming production of Born Yesterday to be performed by GreenMan Theater Troupe to open their 13th season. The show opens Sept. 23 and runs for three weekends, closing Oct. 9.
GreenMan announces cast for Born Yesterday Local actors to appear in production that opens Sept. 23
GreenMan Theatre is pleased to announce the cast of “Born Yesterday,” the first production in their 13th season. Garson Kanin’s most famous play was a longrunning hit when it opened in New York in 1946. It was made into a 1950 film that captured a best actress nod for its star, Judy Holliday. Kanin’s play is a stinging satire of political corruption, centering on a businessman’s plot to bribe a congressman. His plan is foiled hilariously by his girlfriend and an intrepid reporter. “Born Yesterday” will open September 23 and run for three weekends of performances, closing on October 9. Appearing in “Born Yesterday” will be Denis Duffy as the junk dealer Harry Brock with Maureen Denhoff as his girlfriend, Billie Dawn. The reporter Paul Verrall, who uncovers Brock’s schemes, will be played by Erick Sosa. Brock’s entourage includes his lawyer, Ed Devery, played by Patrick Deering and his cousin, Eddie Brock, played by Jamie Sandoval. Stan Kosek (of
Villa Park) plays a corrupt Senator and Arlene Arnone plays the Senator’s wife, Mrs. Hedges. Performances of “Born Yesterday” will be presented at the First United Methodist Church, 232 S. York St., in Elmhurst. Tickets are $17, $15 for students and seniors. There is ample free parking. For more information about the production or to buy tickets, call 630-464-2646, or visit greenmantheatre.org
Upcoming productions by GreenMan
GreenMan’s season will continue this fall with “Spooky Stories of the Season” in October and “Nickel and Dimed” in November. GreenMan’s annual murder mystery, “The McAddams Family: Spring Break” will open in February, and the 13th season closes with “A Tale of Two Cities,” next May. You can sign up for GreenMan’s mailing list to be sure to get up to date information on classes and productions. Volunteers will also be needed throughout the year to assist the production team in several areas. Call or visit the website for more information on productions, auditions, and volunteer opportunities. GreenMan also offers classes and workshops for members and the community. GreenMan welcomes new members and participants in all aspects of theatre production.

Early in the morning of Friday, Sept. 9, more than 200 volunteers were scheduled to gather at the former site of Mohawk School in Bensenville, to transform a nowempty site into a new neighborhood park. Located at 917 W. Hillside Ave., the playground will be a lovely addition to the Hillside neighborhood -- a neighborhood that has experienced some of the greatest impact from the noise and from the ongoing expansion of O’Hare International Airport.

The park is made possible due to a grant from KaBOOM!, a Washington D.C.-based non-profit organization that raises funds to build playgrounds around the country. Bensenville School District 2 was selected as a grant recipient. The Village of Bensenville, along with the Bensenville Park District, contributed additional funds to make the project a reality. Target® is a corporate sponsor for the Hillside park project. Throughout the O’Hare expansion process, Bensenville has made

significant community investments, including the construction of two new grammar schools. But the closing of Mohawk School in 2011 and its later demolition left the Hillside neighborhood – bound by Irving Park Road and Route 83 – without a nearby playground for children in the area. Village President Frank Soto praised Bensenville School District 2 for seeking the KaBOOM! grant. “It’s important that we give our children safe places to play close to home and bring families together,” he said. “Though our entire community was impacted by the O’Hare expansion, the Hillside neighborhood was hit particularly hard. “But we know it is a neighborhood filled with parents dedicated to our community and their children and a neighborhood that deserves something special.”

Among them are: Village Trustees Frank DeSimone and Annie Jowarska, Illinois State Representative Kathleen Willis, Bensenville park and library board members, public works employees, Target employees and other hardworking Bensenville residents.
