‘imperfectly perfect’<br />
Couple-owned<br />
GoodWillHunting<br />
Lawson refurbishes<br />
furniture finds<br />
Meredith Dobes, Editor<br />
On a clear day, Don Lawson<br />
can be seen at nearly all<br />
hours outside his New Lenox<br />
residence refurbishing, painting<br />
and distressing decadesold<br />
pieces of furniture.<br />
These are pieces that were<br />
placed at curbs or next to<br />
dumpsters to be carried away<br />
to landfills or that were handed<br />
off to organizations like<br />
Goodwill and MorningStar<br />
Mission’s Treasure Chest<br />
in New Lenox. Some were<br />
pieces that were dropped off<br />
for Don and his wife, Nadine<br />
Lawson, to work their magic.<br />
The couple is known as<br />
GoodWillHunting Lawson,<br />
and they specialize in “imperfectly<br />
perfect upcycled<br />
furniture and decor,” as their<br />
business card reads.<br />
The business started as a<br />
side project when Don was<br />
between jobs in 2014, but<br />
as it grew, the couple made<br />
the decision to turn it into a<br />
full-time business. Nadine<br />
works a full-time job from<br />
home, but she helps Don out<br />
on smaller projects and with<br />
managing the business.<br />
As the couple put it, Nadine<br />
is the CFO, and Don is<br />
the CEO.<br />
The pair are able to put<br />
a creative touch on any<br />
piece of furniture they come<br />
across. Don’s typical process<br />
when starting a new piece is<br />
to paint the wood, distress it<br />
and then seal it.<br />
A shop at the front of their<br />
house displays a variety of<br />

his New Lenox home. Meredith Dobes/22nd Century Media<br />
the projects they are capable<br />
of, and a workshop of sorts in<br />
their garage is where they’re<br />
able to store and work on most<br />
of the pieces they take in.<br />
How they got here<br />
Before all of the paint,<br />
furniture and social media<br />
accounts, Don worked at a<br />
staffing corporation and had<br />
to travel the majority of the<br />
year.<br />
Tired of traveling and being<br />
away from his family,<br />
Don left the job and considered<br />
what to do next. He<br />
could’ve gone to a different<br />
company, but he was keener<br />
on starting his own business,<br />
he said.<br />
The immediate idea was to<br />
open his own shop, but the<br />
initial hefty investment to do<br />
that deterred him.<br />
One day, Don was considering<br />
refurbishing the family’s<br />
dining room table, but<br />
a friend suggested he start<br />
smaller. He painted and distressed<br />
a couple of small,<br />
old tables the family had in<br />
its basement and took to his<br />
personal Facebook page and<br />
Craigslist to sell them. They<br />
sold very quickly, and Don<br />
knew he was onto something.<br />
Next, Don began picking<br />
up old furniture from curbs<br />
and resale shops, and the<br />
business began to flourish.<br />
“It because something so<br />
much bigger than we anticipated,”<br />
he said.<br />
Now, the business is a<br />
45/55 split between painting<br />
others’ furniture and finding<br />
pieces to refurbish and sell.<br />
Completing between eight<br />
and 10 projects each week,<br />
Don and Nadine said their<br />
business is already large<br />
enough to constitute having<br />
its own storefront, but the<br />
goal is to own an older house<br />
in downtown New Lenox to<br />
stay true to their business’<br />
style. However, the real estate<br />
prices are a bit too out of<br />
range, Don said.<br />
“I could paint 24 hours<br />
a day and not be caught up,<br />
and I would love to have a<br />
store and place to paint everything,”<br />
Don said.<br />
The business markets<br />
through social media channels<br />
— Facebook, Instagram<br />
and Pinterest, primarily —<br />
and also spreads through<br />
word of mouth, Don added.<br />

New Lenox Village Board<br />
Trustees approve Silver Cross land rezoning<br />
Meredith Dobes, Editor<br />
A handful of residents of<br />
New Lenox’s Spring Creek-<br />
Edge Creek subdivision were<br />
in attendance at the New<br />
Lenox Village Board’s July<br />
11 meeting to voice concerns<br />
about rezoning of property<br />
adjacent to their neighborhood<br />
and to Silver Cross<br />
Hospital.<br />
The residents mainly spoke<br />
of concerns the possibilities<br />
the requested H, or hospital,<br />
district zoning would allow<br />
the landowner — Silver<br />
Cross — to have when developing<br />
the land.<br />
After some discussion with<br />
the residents, the Village<br />
Board unanimously voted to<br />
rezone the land in question<br />
to H.<br />
A tentatively proposed<br />
plan for one section of the<br />
58 acres of property along<br />
the west side of Silver Cross<br />
Boulevard, south of U.S.<br />
Route 6, is an outpatient surgical<br />
center, as discussed at a<br />
previous Village Board meeting.<br />
However, the hospital<br />
would need to submit full site<br />
plans for a final plat approval<br />
before building anything on<br />
the land, per Village Code.<br />
Resident Susanne Picchi<br />
asked the board at the meeting<br />
whether the residents<br />
who live near the hospital<br />
would be involved in talks<br />
with Silver Cross about the<br />
development of the land<br />
in the future. Trustee Dave<br />
Smith said he presented that<br />
idea at the last board meeting<br />
because he thought Silver<br />
Cross would be willing to<br />
work with the residents and<br />
hear their concerns.<br />
Picchi said she is concerned<br />
that the hospital could<br />
possibly build a 13-story<br />
building or four- or fivestory<br />
office building on the<br />
land under the H zoning and<br />
wanted to know more about<br />
what would be built there.<br />
Mayor Tim Baldermann said<br />
that other than the possibility<br />
of the surgery center, Silver<br />
Cross has not officially discussed<br />
other plans for the<br />
land.<br />
Steve Dana, another resident,<br />
said the broadness of<br />
the H zoning classification<br />
is concerning, and he wants<br />
to see the Village work on a<br />
transitional H zoning system.<br />
“It strikes one to see<br />
we have H and nothing<br />
underneath H as a subclassification,”<br />
he said.<br />
“There clearly needs to be.<br />
We have it with commercial;<br />
we should really have the<br />
same principal with H.”<br />
Round it up<br />
A brief recap of Village<br />
Board action July 11<br />
• Mayor Tim Baldermann<br />
announced that Karl Kurtz,<br />
founder and owner of Kurtz<br />
Memorial Chapels, Kurtz<br />
Ambulance Service and<br />
Goodale Memorial Chapel,<br />
died and extended his<br />
condolences to the family.<br />
• Village Engineer Will Nash<br />
announced updated dates<br />
for Metra crossing closures.<br />
Work on the Gougar Road<br />
crossing, just north of U.S.<br />
Route 30, was rescheduled<br />
to 6 a.m. July 20-6 p.m. July<br />
29. Another crossing closure<br />
was added at Francis Road,<br />
between Parker and Marley<br />
roads, for 6 a.m. Sept. 21-6<br />
p.m. Sept. 30. Signs and<br />
detour routes will be posted,<br />
he said.<br />
Public hearing for<br />
Wastewater Treatment Plant<br />
No. 2 loan approval<br />
The Village Board also<br />
held a public hearing at its<br />
July 11 meeting to hear comments<br />
on the environmental<br />
impacts of the Wastewater<br />
Treatment Plant No. 2 expansion<br />
project.<br />
According to a memo to the<br />
board from Public Works Director<br />
Brian Williams, part of<br />
the procedures for the Water<br />
Pollution Control Loan Program<br />
requires the Illinois Environmental<br />
Protection Agency<br />
to assess the environmental<br />
impacts of the project.<br />
The expansion project involves<br />
using land to the west<br />
of and adjacent to the current<br />
plant, and is to include<br />
automatic bar screens, five<br />
new aeration tanks, one new<br />
final clarifier, two disc filters,<br />
ultraviolet disinfection, two<br />
new aerobic digesters, sludge<br />
thickening, sludge storage<br />
and high-efficiency blowers.<br />
Resident Bill Walter was<br />
the only person present to<br />
speak at the hearing, and he<br />
asked Williams about the<br />
plant’s capacity after expansion<br />
and whether the Village<br />
would need to hire more personnel<br />
for the project.<br />
Williams said the expansion<br />
would increase the flow<br />
capacity of the plant to 1.5<br />
million gallons per day from<br />
approximately 750,000 gallons<br />
per day, and the Village<br />
would not need any more<br />
personnel. For comparison,<br />
the Village’s Wastewater<br />
Treatment Plant No. 1 can<br />
handle 2.56 million gallons<br />
per day, he said.<br />
The justification for the<br />
project stated that New<br />
Lenox is expected to grow<br />
from its current population<br />
of 26,520 to 54,026 by 2036,<br />
and additional capacity is<br />
needed to accommodate the<br />
larger population. It also said<br />
the Village needs to complete<br />
the update to meet phosphorus<br />
removal, disinfection and<br />
post aeration requirements.<br />
The project is estimated<br />
to start in December and be<br />
completed in June 2018, and<br />
cost $19,718,500. The Village<br />
is to pay for the project<br />
through the aforementioned<br />
Water Pollution Control<br />
Loan Program, and the loan<br />
would be repaid through rate<br />
increases from 3-8 percent<br />
annually through 2021.

New Lenox Township Board<br />
Township secures agreement with Will<br />
County for electronic recycling disposal<br />
Megann Horstead<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
The New Lenox Township<br />
Board of Trustees announced<br />
a new electronic recycling<br />
program will begin Wednesday,<br />
July 27, at its Thursday,<br />
July 14 meeting.<br />
Officials unanimously approved<br />
an intergovernmental<br />
agreement with Will County<br />
that will allow for disposal<br />
of electronics between 5-7<br />
p.m. on the second and fourth<br />
Wednesdays of every month<br />
at the Township Offices, 1100<br />
S. Cedar Road.<br />
Will County Board Member<br />
Ray Tuminello, representing<br />
District 12 — which includes<br />
New Lenox and Mokena —<br />
told the board that getting the<br />
program back on track for<br />
residents is the ultimate goal.<br />
“The County is dedicated to<br />
do anything we need to do to<br />
ensure that there’s a smooth<br />
transition, so we can get some<br />
kind of recycling program<br />
back online,” he said. “We understand<br />
where a product goes<br />
if we didn’t come up with<br />
something.”<br />
In recent months, Township<br />
officials started working<br />
with the County to secure an<br />
intergovernmental agreement<br />
that would introduce a new<br />
program for disposal of electronics.<br />
The former site of the New<br />
Lenox electronic recycling<br />
center closed in February,<br />
much like several other facilities<br />
located in Will County.<br />
State law mandates that putting<br />
electronic waste in landfills<br />
is illegal.<br />
Tuminello noted that TV<br />
manufacturers are withholding<br />
the monies that otherwise<br />
would help residents to properly<br />
dispose of their electronic<br />
purchases. He said this loophole<br />
must be closed.<br />
“Our entire hope really is<br />
to go through our legislative<br />
committee at the County,<br />
which I currently sit on, and<br />
one of the things we are going<br />
to be pushing downstate is<br />
for some of that funding<br />
to come back to the local<br />
municipalities and the local<br />
townships,” Tuminello said.<br />
The initial agreement called<br />
for pick-up on the second and<br />
fourth Thursdays of every<br />
month, but officials noted how<br />
the program coincided with<br />
the schedule for the Township<br />
Board of Trustees meeting.<br />
That is no longer the case.<br />
“We wanted to flip that,”<br />
Township Supervisor Michael<br />
Hickey said. “The best fit for<br />
the other township that’s doing<br />
[electronic recycling] is<br />
doing it the first and third<br />
Wednesday. We will be doing<br />
[collection] the second and<br />
fourth Wednesday.”<br />
Hickey said the program<br />
will run independent of the<br />
Township, even as collection<br />
is hosted on-site.<br />
Will County is contracting<br />
with a new vendor, Electronic<br />
Recyclers International. As<br />
part of the new agreement, the<br />
vendor will handle all sorting,<br />
packaging and loading of<br />
electronics.<br />
As for cost, the service is<br />
free to residents.<br />
The staging of the recycling<br />
event is still in the works,<br />
Hickey said. Officials will<br />
iron out those details in the<br />
weeks to come and adjust as<br />
needed.<br />
If all pans out according to<br />
plan, Trustee Martin Boban<br />
said the recycling drop-off<br />
program will be staged so that<br />
cars run west of Cedar Road<br />
from Otto Drive toward West<br />
Illinois Highway. The hope,<br />
according to Boban, is that<br />
residents will be patient when<br />
the program first launches, so<br />
as to ease the transition.<br />
In a related development,<br />
the Township parking lot was<br />
recently repaved. Officials<br />
said the hope is that the completion<br />
of that project allows<br />
for the electronic recycling<br />
program to see a smooth transition<br />
when it begins later this<br />
month.<br />
Rent for senior housing center<br />
in New Lenox Township on<br />
the rise<br />
Those living in New Lenox<br />
Township’s senior housing<br />
center will find a new rate for<br />
rent in September.<br />
The proposed rents at the<br />
Guy A. Sell Senior Housing<br />
Center will increase by 2 percent<br />
for both single and twobedroom<br />
apartments, upon extension<br />
of the lease. That will<br />
cost residents living in singlebedroom<br />
units $763, while<br />
others living in two-bedroom<br />
units will pay $895.<br />
“Our hands are pretty much<br />
tied,” Hickey said. “The noncallable<br />
bonds are set. The<br />
monies that we have is set<br />
aside for bonds payment. We<br />
can sit there, make 1 percent,<br />
and our responsibility is 5.5<br />
[percent].”<br />
In 2015, rents for single<br />
and two-bedroom apartments<br />
amounted to $748 and $878,<br />
respectively. In 2014, tenants<br />
paid $732 for a single<br />
and $860 for a two-bedroom<br />
apartment.<br />
Hickey said in previous<br />
years, board action resulted<br />
in a rate freeze for tenants in<br />
senior housing, and the Township<br />
has also been able to keep<br />
rent increases to fewer than 2<br />
percent.<br />
“We’ve tried to be as reasonable<br />
as we could, but we<br />
have to keep moving it up because<br />
of our bond obligation,”<br />
he said.<br />
Hickey said the board’s<br />
unanimous decision to move<br />
forward with the rent increase<br />
allows taxpayers to save<br />
money.<br />

New Lenox Family Dental to offer<br />
free check-ups for children Aug. 6<br />
Meredith Dobes, Editor<br />
For some families, dental<br />
insurance might be out of<br />
reach or an afterthought<br />
once all other bills and<br />
expenses are paid.<br />
Nicole Graves, dentist<br />
and owner at New Lenox<br />
Family Dental, is looking<br />
to alleviate the financial<br />
strain yearly check-ups<br />
might cause by offering free<br />
back-to-school check-ups<br />
for children up to 18 years<br />
of age from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.<br />
Saturday, Aug. 6, at her<br />
practice, located at 424 E.<br />
Lincoln Highway in New<br />
Lenox.<br />
The free check-ups are<br />
solely for individuals without<br />
dental insurance.<br />
Graves completed<br />
internships in lower-income<br />
communities during her<br />
final year of dental school<br />
and volunteered at a<br />
clinic that served homeless<br />
adults.<br />
To continue her philanthropic<br />
work, this year will<br />
be the first time she is offering<br />
the free check-ups, and<br />
she said she is looking for<br />
more families to sign up to<br />
benefit from services that<br />
day.<br />
“I wanted to give back to<br />
the community and to try<br />
to do something for people<br />
who might not be able to<br />
afford dental treatment,<br />
which is a necessity for all<br />
kids to have,” Graves said.<br />
“I wanted to alleviate some<br />
of the burden that’s on some<br />
families.”<br />
Families who sign up for<br />
the service do not need to<br />
bring anything special the<br />
day of the free check-ups,<br />
but Graves stressed the day<br />
is solely for patients who<br />
have no dental insurance<br />
coverage whatsoever.<br />
She added that she wants<br />
to serve as many patients<br />
as possible Aug. 6 and<br />
is willing to add another<br />
day of the free services, if<br />
needed.<br />
Graves said she plans to<br />
have two assistants helping<br />
out Aug. 6, as well as possibly<br />
one hygienist. She also<br />
plans to return the event,<br />
hopefully on a larger scale,<br />
in the future, she said.<br />
When asked what she<br />
looks forward to most about<br />
providing the free checkups,<br />
she said, “Just being<br />
able to help people — it’s<br />
always a good feeling.”<br />
<strong>NL</strong> native, Navy official speaks<br />
at local awards presentation<br />
Jessie Molloy<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
Assistant Secretary of the<br />
Navy for Manpower and Reserve<br />
Affairs Franklin Parker<br />
returned home to the south<br />
suburbs July 12 to address<br />
the recipients of this year’s<br />
Chicago Southland Chamber<br />
of Commerce Ron Milnes<br />
Scholarship.<br />
The award winners and<br />
their families met for a celebratory<br />
breakfast at Chicago<br />
Gaelic Park in Oak Forest,<br />
where Parker served as the<br />
keynote speaker. Parker grew<br />
up in New Lenox and graduated<br />
from Providence Catholic<br />
High School in 1992.<br />
“I’m very excited to be<br />
back home today,” Parker<br />
said as he began his address.<br />
“While I live in [Washington,]<br />
D.C. now, Chicago and<br />
the south suburbs are always<br />
with me and will always be<br />
home.”<br />
Throughout his speech,<br />
Parker, who handles the affairs<br />
of more than 800,000<br />
servicemen and women in his<br />
job, emphasized the importance<br />
of people in all aspects<br />
of life from higher education,<br />
to the workplace, to personal<br />
support networks.<br />
“As I took each step in<br />
my life, one of the biggest<br />
parts of it was the people<br />
in my life,” he said. “No<br />
matter who you are or what<br />
you do, you won’t achieve<br />
anything without the support<br />
of others.”<br />
Parker also emphasized<br />
that, despite what many students<br />
are told in high school,<br />
life and career paths are often<br />
fluid, and having a plan set<br />
in stone is not a necessity for<br />
students at the high school<br />
point of their lives.<br />
“It’s OK to not have everything<br />
figured out,” he said.<br />
“We’re all works in progress.<br />
When people ask me what<br />
my favorite job I’ve had is,<br />
I tell them this one, because<br />
I love working with people.<br />
But if you had asked me back<br />
in 1992 when I was at Providence<br />
where I wanted to be<br />
now, I wouldn’t have been<br />
able to tell you, but I feel very<br />
privileged to be where I am<br />
today.”<br />
This year, the chamber<br />
raised $6,000 to give in<br />
scholarships to five students<br />
through private donations<br />
and its annual sports<br />
luncheon. In order to be<br />
eligible for the scholarship —<br />
which was founded in 1995<br />
in memory of Ron Milnes,<br />
Bimba Manufacturing vice<br />
president, active chamber<br />
member and former<br />
elementary school principal<br />
— students must be the child<br />
of a chamber member or<br />
chamber member employee,<br />
or be a chamber member<br />
themselves. Students had<br />
to maintain a GPA of 2.5 or<br />
higher, write an essay about<br />
overcoming a challenge or<br />
difficulty, and submit a letter<br />
of recommendation.<br />
“At a time when there is<br />
often bleak news about education,<br />
we got to read many<br />
enthusiastic and optimistic<br />
essays written by gifted,<br />
young people, and it was so<br />
refreshing,” said Nancy Burrows,<br />
Scholarship Committee<br />
member and employee of<br />
Bimba Manufacturing. “We<br />
are very happy to be recognizing<br />
and giving a boost to<br />
these people as they start the<br />
next chapters of their lives.”<br />
This year’s winners were<br />
Lincoln-Way East graduate<br />
Abby Oliveri, who will<br />
be attending the University<br />
of Wisconsin-Madison;<br />
Homewood-Flossmoor High<br />
School graduate Tristian<br />
Donohoe, who will be attending<br />
the College of Wooster<br />
in Ohio; Southland College<br />
Prep grad Darion Evans, who<br />
Assistant Secretary of the<br />
Navy for Manpower and<br />

the Chicago Southland<br />
Chamber of Commerce<br />

presentation at Chicago<br />
Gaelic Park in Oak Forest.<br />
Photo submitted<br />
will be attending University<br />
of Illinois; Autumn Clemons,<br />
a Hillcrest high school<br />
graduate attending University<br />
of Missouri, Columbia<br />
next year; and Ally Armato, a<br />
Downers Grove South graduate<br />
who will be going to Trinity<br />
Christian College in the<br />
fall.<br />
Armato received this year’s<br />
special award of $2,000.<br />
Each of the other four recipients<br />
were given $1,000 to put<br />
towards their tuition.<br />
Parker congratulated<br />
all the award winners and<br />
wished them luck in their<br />
future endeavors.<br />
“Education and career<br />
training are important parts of<br />
what I do with the Navy, and<br />
they are equally important in<br />
civilian life,” he said. “Take<br />
pride in your accomplishments<br />
today as you build to<br />
greater heights. I believe you<br />
all have the talent and potential<br />
to go far.”

Freedom Ride travels<br />
through area to raise funds<br />

Adventures of Kitty Zombie’<br />

New Lenox resident<br />
organizes event<br />
Jessie Molloy<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
A large group of bikers<br />
rode together on a Sunday<br />
morning with a sole objective<br />
— helping animals.<br />
Homer Glen’s Tender<br />
Loving Care Animal Shelter<br />
held its inaugural Freedom<br />
Ride motorcycle fundraiser<br />
July 10, which began in<br />
Lockport.<br />
“I’ve always wanted to do<br />
a summer fundraiser,” said<br />
Tracy Lesmeister, a TLC<br />
volunteer from New Lenox<br />
and the event’s organizer.<br />
“I’ve done bingo nights and<br />
comedy shows for the shelter<br />
before, but nobody wants to<br />
do indoor events this time of<br />
year, so this year I came up<br />
with the motorcycle ride.”<br />
The ride kicked off at<br />
Jackie’s Pub in Lockport<br />
and traveled to Ryan’s Pub<br />
in Frankfort, Country Place<br />
in Peotone and Gallagher’s<br />
Pub in Manhattan before<br />
heading to an after-party at<br />
the Harry E. Anderson Veterans<br />
of Foreign Wars Post<br />
9545 in New Lenox.<br />
“We called it the Freedom<br />
Ride because at TLC we go<br />
every week to other highkill<br />
shelters and take in dogs<br />
that are running out of time,”<br />
Lesmeister said. “We call<br />
their rides from those shelters<br />
to ours freedom rides,<br />
so that’s where I got the idea<br />
from.”<br />
Before the ride, Lesmeister<br />
said she would have been<br />
happy to have had 25 riders<br />
for the event but was hoping<br />
for more.<br />
The event surpassed her<br />
expectations, as 140 people<br />
on approximately 90 motorcycles<br />
congregated at Jackie’s<br />
Pub for the start of the<br />
ride. Registration cost $25<br />
per motorcycle and an additional<br />
$10 per passenger.<br />
“I was stunned by how<br />
many people showed up,”<br />
Lesmeister said. “It was<br />
wonderful.”<br />
The ride ended with an<br />
after-party that featured 25<br />
local vendors who paid a<br />

Never mind human flesh<br />
and blood; Cooper Lyke’s<br />
favorite living dead prefers to<br />
feast on sugar.<br />
Lyke, a 14-year-old New<br />
Lenox resident, is one of stars<br />
of “The Adventures of Kitty<br />
Zombie,” a short film revolving<br />
around the adventures of<br />
a group of children and their<br />
candy-loving zombie.<br />
Local Z-heads were treated<br />
to a family-friendly version<br />
of the zombie genre during<br />
the movie’s premiere Thursday,<br />
July 14, at Taft School in<br />
Lockport.<br />
“It was a lot of fun to shoot<br />
the movie,” said Lyke, who<br />
auditioned for the role of Ty<br />
Kinkley nearly two years<br />
ago.<br />
A longtime student of the<br />
Second City Kids Program,<br />
Lyke honed his acting skills<br />
through classes in improvisation,<br />
physical comedy and<br />
script writing. Lyke, with<br />
help from his father, Matt,<br />
uploaded an audition to director<br />
John LaFlamboy, and<br />
the rest was movie history.<br />
“John liked what he saw,<br />
and I got the part,” Lyke<br />
added.<br />
Lyke admitted being a<br />
huge fan of the zombie genre.<br />
“I saw the ‘Night of the<br />
Living Dead’ when I was 10<br />
years old and loved it,” he<br />
said. “I also watch other zombie<br />
shows like ‘The Walking<br />
Dead.’ I think [these shows]<br />
are so much fun to watch, and<br />
I’m excited to now be part of<br />
a zombie movie.”<br />
The title’s namesake is<br />
Kitty Zombie, the result of<br />
a military experiment gone<br />
wrong. Instead of a terrorizing<br />
monster, Kitty Zombie<br />
morphs into a gentle giant<br />
with “a body of a soldier<br />
with a mind of a puppy.” The<br />
children hide Kitty Zombie<br />
in their neighborhood secret<br />
tree house, away from the<br />
evil scientist who created<br />
him.<br />
The movie — Kickstarter-funded<br />
and edited as<br />
a 24-minute pilot — was<br />
filmed almost entirely in the<br />
city of Lockport, according<br />
to LaFlamboy.<br />

New Lenox Scoutmaster receives<br />
Boy Scout Leadership Award<br />
Submitted by New Lenox Boy<br />
Scout Troop 44<br />
New Lenox resident Bill<br />
Schade recently received the<br />
2015 Excellence in Leadership<br />
Award from the Rainbow<br />
Council of The Boy<br />
Scouts of America.<br />
The award is granted to<br />
unit scouters at all levels<br />
of scouting who give service<br />
to the unit above and<br />
beyond their registered position.<br />
This includes helping<br />
at a moment’s notice,<br />
demonstrating and living<br />
the values of scouting, and<br />
serving as a role model, inspiring<br />
the boys to be better<br />
at what they do and who<br />
they are.<br />
Schade has served as<br />
scoutmaster to New Lenox<br />
Boy Scout Troop 44 for the<br />
past 10 years. During this<br />
time, the number of active<br />
scouts and parents involved<br />
has increased.<br />
Schade’s leadership style<br />
combines coaching and<br />
mentoring the youth by letting<br />
them learn from an<br />
experience while offering<br />
guiding advice at the right<br />
time. Schade has the boys<br />
brainstorm new ideas, has<br />
them learn about what it<br />
would take to accomplish<br />
the ideas and ensures they<br />
follow up, according to John<br />
Laitar, Troop 44 committee<br />
chairman.<br />
Schade has guided more<br />
than 20 boys to the Eagle<br />
rank during his time as<br />
scoutmaster. He has worked<br />
with these boys on completing<br />
their requirements<br />
to advance in rank, and has<br />
provided guidance and motivation<br />
for many of them to<br />
continue to the Eagle Scout<br />
rank.<br />
As a youth, Schade was a<br />
Boy Scout in Chicago and<br />
earned his Eagle rank along<br />
with six Palms. He spent<br />
many summers as a member<br />
of camp staff at Owasippe<br />
Scout Reservation<br />
and Camp Shin-Go-Beek.<br />
He was a Cubmaster at Pack<br />
6 in New Lenox for several<br />
years when his son joined<br />
scouting in the Rainbow<br />
Council. When contacted<br />
by his district executive,<br />
Schade stepped up to sit on<br />

Schade’s son, Mark, is an<br />

Scout. His wife, Mary, is a<br />
Girl Scout Leader.<br />
Schade is a facility manager<br />

Standout Student<br />
Sponsored by Marquette Bank lead to ignorance and a lack<br />
of awareness of the pros and<br />
cons of the other side.<br />
Justin Lumanga,<br />
Providence Catholic<br />
graduate<br />
Lumanga was picked as this<br />
week’s Standout Student<br />
because of his academic<br />
performance.<br />
What is one essential you<br />
must have when studying<br />
and why?<br />
An essential that I must<br />
have when studying is desire<br />
because, in my opinion,<br />
one must have the desire to<br />
act on any action in order to<br />
bring out the best to his or<br />
her ability. Lacking full desire<br />
elicits a fraction of what<br />
one can truly do.<br />
What do you like to do when<br />
not in school or studying?<br />
I like to read and enjoy the<br />
outdoors since they give me<br />
tranquility.<br />
What is your dream job and<br />
why?<br />
I want to become a doctor<br />
since I find the biological<br />
sciences very interesting<br />
from its simplest to its most<br />
complex and that I want to<br />
help save and better the lives<br />
of the sick.<br />
What’s one thing people<br />
don’t know about you?<br />
One thing that people<br />
aside from my family do<br />
not know about me is that<br />
whenever there are discussions<br />
of debate, I do not prematurely<br />
choose a side. To<br />
me, learning everything that<br />
I can on both sides is a must<br />
because not knowing the<br />
details of both sides would<br />
Whom do you look up to and<br />
why?<br />
I look up to my parents, as<br />
they always encouraged me<br />
to bring out the best of myself<br />
as well as sacrificing so<br />
much of their time and energy<br />
to bringing my sister and<br />
me to a good school.<br />
Who is your favorite teacher<br />
and why?<br />
Although he is no longer<br />
at the school as of now,<br />
my favorite teacher is the<br />
Rev. Rich Young. He is a<br />
very down-to-earth teacher<br />
who always made good<br />
discussions in addition to<br />
being quite the jokester who<br />
made many people laugh.<br />
He is also someone who<br />
gives good advice to the<br />
troubled.<br />
What is your favorite class?<br />
AP Biology would be my<br />
favorite class since biology<br />
is a very interesting subject<br />
to me and how, despite the<br />
rigors that come with it, the<br />
class would come up with<br />
funny conversations during<br />
the bit of free time that we<br />
have.<br />
What is one thing that<br />
stands out about your<br />
school?<br />
Providence Catholic<br />
High School stands out in<br />
that each student strives to<br />
learn a truth about himself<br />
or herself, that the entire<br />
student body is united as<br />
one not only in athletic<br />
events but during allschool<br />
Masses, and that the<br />
entire student body is<br />
composed of many strong<br />
bonds that end up creating<br />
one family with love and<br />
laughter.<br />
Burns Photography<br />
If you could change one thing<br />
about your school, what<br />
would it be?<br />
Many others probably addressed<br />
this before, but I will<br />
say it again: air conditioning.<br />
During the hot spring<br />
and summer months, the<br />
building heats up to the point<br />
that many people inside start<br />
to sweat, and become sleepy<br />
and uncomfortable. Having<br />
air conditioning would improve<br />
school life during the<br />
hot months of the year.<br />
What is your favorite thing<br />
to eat in the cafeteria?<br />
The meatball pitas are my<br />
favorite food to eat in the<br />
cafeteria.<br />
What is your best memory<br />
from school?<br />
My best memory would<br />
be the experience from Kairos.<br />
While I cannot say what<br />
happens specifically during<br />
the experience since it would<br />
ruin the surprise and that<br />
words cannot really describe<br />
it, I can say that it can really<br />
change a person and bring<br />
about feelings that probably<br />
have not been felt for a long<br />
time. If one really wants to<br />
know what happens, one<br />
must experience Kairos himself.<br />

FROM THE TI<strong>NL</strong>EY JUNCTION<br />
Andrew baseball to trade<br />
bats for golf clubs<br />
When Mark Gierhahn<br />
graduated from Andrew High<br />
School in 1980, the Thunderbolts’<br />
baseball field consisted<br />
of a makeshift backstop that<br />
was essentially a snow fence<br />
and a pair of benches that<br />
served as the dugouts.<br />
Today, the T-Bolts’ home<br />
field boasts an outfield fence,<br />
recently renovated infield,<br />
a new drainage system and<br />
a warning track of crimson<br />
stone.<br />
“It’s one of the best fields<br />
in the area, if not the state,”<br />
Gierhahn said.<br />
Many of those improvements<br />
are thanks to the continued<br />
success of one event:<br />
the annual Friends of Andrew<br />
Baseball golf outing.<br />
“The event has raised<br />
over $100,000 in the last 10<br />
years,” Gierhahn said. “All<br />
of the proceeds go right back<br />
to the baseball program.”<br />
This year’s event is set<br />
to tee off at 2:30 p.m. Aug.<br />
6 at George W. Dunne Golf<br />
Course in Oak Forest. The<br />
event, which is for those 21<br />
and older, will be capped at<br />
144 golfers. Those interested<br />
in registering can contact<br />
Gierhahn at 4gierfam@com<br />
cast.net or visit www.friend<br />
sofandrewbaseball.com.<br />
In addition to the golf,<br />
attendees also will receive<br />
lunch courtesy of Winston’s<br />
Market, dinner provided by<br />
Gatto’s and a plethora of raffles<br />
in which to participate.<br />
The event started in 2005<br />
with roughly 20 people participating<br />
and this past year<br />
reached the maximum number<br />
of 144, Gierhahn said.<br />
“We are hoping for another<br />
great turnout and event this<br />
year,” Gierhahn said. “The<br />
event is the baseball program’s<br />
major fundraiser and<br />
has done so much to benefit<br />
Andrew baseball.”<br />

FROM THE ORLAND PARK PRAIRIE<br />
High school senior from<br />
Orland Park starts tutoring<br />
service<br />
Seventeen-year-old Priya<br />
Sharma is all about preparing<br />
students for success.<br />
The Orland Park teen —<br />
who is to be a senior this<br />
coming fall at the Illinois<br />
Mathematics and Science<br />
Academy in Aurora — created<br />
a tutoring service that<br />
helps area children and<br />
young adults with their academics.<br />
“I wanted to basically help<br />
as much as I could in the Orland<br />
Park community,” Sharma<br />
said. “I realized that a lot<br />
of students would sometimes<br />
struggle in school, and they<br />
wouldn’t really know it, or<br />
their parents could see it but<br />
they didn’t really know what<br />
to do.”<br />
Priya and her mother,<br />
Meera, said the most<br />
important aspect about Next<br />
Level Prep — the name<br />
of her daughter’s tutoring<br />
service — is that the service<br />
is free, which affords any<br />
student in grades K-12 the<br />
opportunity to learn, review<br />
and practice necessary sets<br />
of skills in math, science and<br />
reading.<br />
“A lot of tutoring services,<br />
businesses and companies<br />
cost a lot of money, and that<br />
really stop[s] the parent,”<br />
Priya said.<br />
Priya said she was not too<br />
concerned about people not<br />
taking her and her service<br />
seriously because of her<br />
young age. In fact, the only<br />
thing she worried about was<br />
making sure people saw her<br />
fliers, wherever they may be<br />
hung.<br />
“I put on there [that]<br />
I go to IMSA, [and] I’m<br />
still a high school senior,”<br />
Priya said of her advertisements.<br />
“I think they liked it<br />
more, because I had experience.”<br />

FROM THE Lockport Legend<br />
Meyer qualifies for<br />
National Junior Olympic<br />
Championships<br />
Coming off a Class 3A<br />
state championship in the<br />
shot put this past spring,<br />
John Meyer Jr. is not resting<br />
on that accomplishment.<br />
He is competing at the<br />
highest level this summer<br />
during the USA Track &<br />
Field National Junior Olympics<br />
Championships, which<br />
are scheduled July 25-31 at<br />
Sacramento State University<br />
in California. Meyer is to<br />
compete July 27 and 28.<br />
Meyer — who won the<br />
championship in both the<br />
shot put and discus in the 15-<br />
to 16-year-old division this<br />
past year — qualified in the<br />
17- to 18-year-old division<br />
this year.<br />
The 16-year-old Lockport<br />
Township student can compete<br />
in the 17- to 18-yearold<br />
division for the next two<br />
years, too.<br />
“I’m the young one in the<br />
group,” Meyer said. “But<br />
once you get up in this age<br />
group, you can compete<br />
against anyone that’s still in<br />
high school. To make it to<br />
nationals, I had to finish in<br />
the Top 5.”<br />
At the USA Track & Field<br />
regional at Ball State University<br />
in Muncie, Indiana,<br />
Meyer won the shot put July<br />
9 with a distance of 62 feet<br />
and 3 1/2 inches. The next<br />
day, he placed second in the<br />
discus with a toss of 169-1.<br />
Competing against 17- and<br />
18-year-olds had no effect on<br />
Meyer’s nerves, he said.<br />
“After being at state [the<br />
past two years], I just go in<br />
and have nothing to lose,”<br />
he said. “I just focus on the<br />
form and go throw.”<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />
Retirement in Reverse:<br />
Better read this if you are 62 or<br />
older and own a home in the U.S.<br />
Over 1 million seniors have<br />
already taken advantage of<br />
this “retirement secret.”<br />
Americans are living longer. And, home prices are<br />
up more than 36% since 2011, according to October<br />
2015 data from the National Association of Realtors.*<br />
Median Sales Price of Existing Homes<br />
$240,000<br />
$220,000<br />
$200,000<br />
$190,000<br />
$170,000<br />
$150,000<br />
2011 2012 2013 2014 2015<br />
For many senior citizens, their home is their<br />
biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of<br />
their total net worth.<br />
With the cost of basic necessities<br />
such as food on the rise, it’s no wonder<br />
why more and more seniors are now<br />
using HECM reverse mortgage loans<br />
In 1988, President<br />
Reagan signed the<br />
FHA Reverse Mortgage<br />
bill into law.<br />
to turn their home equity into extra<br />
cash for their retirement.<br />
However, there are still millions of homeowners who<br />
could benefit from this government-insured loan but<br />
may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret.”<br />
Some people think reverse mortgage loans sound<br />
“too good to be true.” After all, you get the cash you<br />
need out of your home, but yet you have no more<br />
monthly mortgage payments.<br />
NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE<br />
PAYMENTS?** EXTRA CASH?<br />
It’s true, no monthly mortgage payments are<br />
required with a reverse mortgage;** the homeowners<br />
only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes,<br />
homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA<br />
fees.<br />
Reverse mortgages first took hold when President<br />
Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mortgage Bill into<br />
law over 25 years ago to help senior citizens remain<br />
in their homes. They’re simply an effective way for<br />
homeowners 62 and older to get the cash they need.<br />
Although today’s HECM reverse mortgage<br />
loans have been greatly improved to provide<br />
greater protection for homeowners, there are still<br />
a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people<br />
mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full<br />
in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, which is<br />
not the case.<br />
One key benefit of a reverse mortgage is that it<br />
automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which<br />
“I have been able to repair my home’s foundation<br />
that I had been putting off for several years, re nish<br />
the hardwood oors, paint the interior and will have<br />
the exterior painted within a few days. My house<br />
is starting to look like my home again and it feels<br />
good.”<br />
- Betty Carter<br />
frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for those on a<br />
fixed income. Unfortunately, many homeowners<br />
who could benefit from a reverse mortgage loan<br />
don’t even bother to get more information due to<br />
rumors they’ve heard.<br />
That’s a shame because reverse mortgages are<br />
helping many seniors live a better life. In fact, a<br />
recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG),<br />
the nation’s number one reverse mortgage lender,<br />
found that 95% of their clients are satisfied with<br />
their reverse mortgages.<br />
If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe<br />
it to yourself to learn more so that you can make an<br />
informed decision.<br />

learning more can request a free 2016 HECM<br />
Reverse Mortgage Information Kit and free<br />

stlouisfed.org **If you qualify and your loan is approved, a reverse mortgage must pay off your existing mortgage(s). With a reverse mortgage, no monthly mortgage payment is required. Borrowers are responsible for paying<br />
property taxes and homeowner’s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and may<br />
be required in some cases. Borrowers must occupy home as their primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable when the last<br />
borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, defaults on taxes or insurance payments, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms. A reverse mortgage increases<br />
the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan). American Advisors Group (AAG) works with other lenders and nancial institutions that offer reverse mortgages. To process<br />
your request for a reverse mortgage, AAG may forward your contact information to such lenders for your consideration of reverse mortgage programs that they offer. NMLS# 9392 (www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org). American<br />

This week’s News<br />
Cover Story (See<br />
Page 3) is about a<br />
couple who found happiness<br />
in refurbishing old furniture<br />
and being creative in order<br />
to make people’s interior<br />
decorating dreams come<br />
true.<br />
The couple was an inspiration<br />
to me, personally, this<br />
week, as I’m writing this<br />
Friday, July 15, one week<br />
before my final day with<br />
22nd Century Media and<br />
The New Lenox Patriot. (I<br />
won’t say goodbye just yet;<br />
I’ll save that for next week’s<br />
column.)<br />
Changing jobs is always a<br />
terrifying and exciting step<br />
in life, and it was wonderful<br />
to see how happy Don and<br />
Nadine Lawson were after<br />
Don decided to pursue creating<br />
an at-home business<br />
after being in the corporate<br />
world for 20 years.<br />
It was a joy to talk to<br />
them, and it was obvious<br />
from the way they interacted<br />
with each other that they did<br />
well together in all aspects<br />
of their relationship.<br />
Beyond that, it was obvious<br />
that Don, who does<br />
the majority of the larger<br />
refurbishing projects and<br />
works full time on the<br />
GoodWillHunting Lawson<br />
business, found such happiness<br />
in his work. Not only<br />
does he get to work with<br />
his hands and his creativity,<br />
but he gets to continue<br />
to use his business-minded<br />
skills from his time in the<br />
corporate world to run and<br />
promote the business.<br />
I will be embarking on<br />
a new challenge soon,<br />
and seeing the success<br />
of this couple helped me<br />
remember that skill sets are<br />
versatile. Though it is easy<br />
to continue to do what one<br />
knows, it is a learning and<br />
growing opportunity to try<br />
new things.<br />
Happiness can lie in all<br />
sorts of different places. It<br />
can be found anywhere. The<br />
Lawsons seemed so happy<br />
to be working beside and<br />
with each other in their own<br />
home and to be able to turn<br />
to their partner for advice,<br />
consolation, support, etc.<br />
Their happiness showed<br />
in the quality of their work<br />
and the passion that they so<br />
obviously had for it.<br />
It’s been such a happy<br />
time for me here, and I<br />
know that I’ll find happiness<br />
in this next step, too.<br />
May happiness find you at<br />
whichever step you’re on.<br />
Letters to the Editor<br />
Thank you<br />
My faith in the younger<br />
generation just increased,<br />
as a young man who lives<br />
in my Windermere subdivision<br />
returned my handmade<br />
speed limit street sign that<br />
was stolen Tuesday. What a<br />
nice thing to do. My sign has<br />
been damaged already this<br />
year, and it was great to get<br />
it back. He has consistently<br />
driven down my street (Regent),<br />
and is aware that for<br />
the last four years I have<br />
tried to get nearby residents<br />
“Congratulations to LWC student Christian<br />
Gabriel, who was awarded a scholarship in<br />
recognition of his successful participation in<br />
the recent SkillsUSA Championships in the<br />
HVACR category!” Lincoln-Way High School<br />
District 210 posted. “The Championships,<br />
held in Kentucky, brought together students<br />
who won local and statewide competitions<br />
before qualifying to compete on the national<br />
stage. Christian finished as a finalist at the<br />
Championships!”<br />

Lesmeister said the event<br />
to slow down to 25 mph.<br />
He said he supported my<br />
efforts. I only wish that others<br />
might, too. They fail to<br />
realize that speeding in a<br />
residential area is inviting a<br />
possible injury or death to<br />
an unsuspecting child. As<br />
it’s summer vacation time,<br />
the young ones are out and<br />
about. Why someone would<br />
want to steal such a sign<br />
only leads me to think that<br />
they care only about themselves<br />
and not anyone else.<br />
How can speed be more<br />
raised close to $4,100 for the<br />
shelter.<br />
“I can’t say enough great<br />
things about the people at<br />
the VFW,” she said. “They<br />
didn’t know until the morning<br />
of the event how many<br />
people were coming, and<br />
they made food and got everything<br />
together for them in<br />
a matter of hours.<br />
“I also couldn’t have done<br />
it without Jackie Hennessy<br />

important than lives? Most<br />
thieves steal articles of value,<br />
but signs? The same happened<br />
to my “Proud American<br />
Home” signs. They, too, were<br />
damaged earlier this year.<br />
So again, I would like to<br />
thank publicly that young<br />
man for his thoughtfulness,<br />
and have him stop by for a<br />
drink (Coke) so that I can get<br />
his name.<br />

Lesmeister said. “She was<br />
phenomenally helpful.”<br />
Lesmeister said she hopes<br />
the Freedom Ride will become<br />
an annual event and<br />
continue to grow.<br />
“At the after-party, I had<br />
several people tell me they<br />
would do it again next year,”<br />
she said. “One person told<br />
me if word spreads, I could<br />
expect as many people as I<br />
had this year, plus another<br />
half as many.”<br />

Caterpillar’s Trust<br />
Little caterpillar in the road<br />
Don’t you see that hungry<br />
toad?<br />
He could eat you, should he<br />
dare<br />
His tongue zap you, and he<br />
not care.<br />
“I’m not worried” said<br />
caterpillar<br />
I am joyful, I’m not bitter<br />
God watches over me, you<br />
see<br />
If it’s my time, I’m worry<br />
free.”<br />
But that toad, that huge toad<br />
Watches you from the road<br />
And he is fast, so very fast<br />
You couldn’t run and not<br />
last.<br />
“Concern for one you do not<br />
know<br />
Certainly makes our friendship<br />
grow<br />
God protects me, in Him I<br />
trust<br />
May He protect the both of<br />
us”.<br />
How do you do it?, I said to<br />
him<br />
Your destiny looks quite<br />
grim<br />
How do you trust and believe<br />
In someone you really can’t<br />
see?<br />
“It’s so easy” he said to me<br />
The gospel sent me to my<br />
knees<br />
Trust in Jesus who died for<br />
my sins<br />
Believe in heart and faith<br />
begins.<br />
Look at that, oh me, oh my<br />
That frog just zapped a juicy<br />
fly<br />
God is good, His gospel key<br />
To live or die in Him is<br />
peace.<br />

‘Joseph’ performances to benefit Rotary Club<br />
Travis Cornejo<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
Rehearsals are underway<br />
for Lincoln-Way Area Summer<br />
Stock Theatre’s 2016<br />
production of “Joseph and<br />
the Amazing Technicolor<br />
Dreamcoat,” presented by<br />
the Rotary Club of New<br />
Lenox.<br />
The musical by Andrew<br />
Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice<br />
is based on the story of Joseph<br />
and the coat of many<br />
colors from the Book of<br />
Genesis. Performances are<br />
slated to begin Friday, July<br />
22, at Lincoln-Way West.<br />
“Most community theaters<br />
rehearse over a 10-week period,”<br />
producer Kevin Molloy<br />
said. “Our rehearsals are<br />
done in four weeks. That’s a<br />
big challenge. This is a rehearsal<br />
process on steroids.<br />
The cast is off book before<br />
they even show up on day<br />
one. To me, that’s what<br />
makes this special.”<br />
And for director Mike<br />
Knezz, just four weeks were<br />
available to wrangle his cast<br />
of nearly 80 children and<br />
adults.<br />
“It’s challenging, but these<br />
are really good people,” he<br />
said. “As long as I communicate<br />
in a positive way, it’s<br />
all good. This is something<br />
special, and I’m just glad<br />
to be part of it. It’s great for<br />
the community, and what<br />
the Rotary Club does for the<br />
area is awesome.”<br />
One of the stars of the<br />
cast is Justin Corp, a recent<br />
graduate of Lincoln-Way<br />
North. A veteran of his<br />
high school’s theater group,<br />
Corp’s turn as Joseph marks<br />
his first role in an independent<br />
production.<br />
“It’s been a little tough,”<br />
he said regarding the rehearsal<br />
schedule. “There’s<br />
a lot of work to be done on<br />
your own. And the dances<br />
JoAnn Robertson (left) puts a wig on Mimi Pahis, who plays Potiphar’s wife, to prepare for<br />
rehearsal.<br />
are the hardest part, because<br />
there’s so little time to put<br />
it together with everyone<br />
else.”<br />
Overall, he said it<br />
has been an incredible<br />
experience, and it helps<br />
to know the production is<br />
raising money for a good<br />
cause — for Rotary.<br />
But while Corp is moving<br />
on to college in the fall, Tom<br />
Venutolo, who plays the<br />
Pharaoh, will return to the<br />
halls of Lincoln-Way West<br />
as he’s done every year since<br />
2009. As the high school’s<br />
choir director, it was a simple<br />
coincidence that got him<br />
involved in this year’s production.<br />
“I had just come back from<br />
a field trip with my kids, and<br />
they were using my choir<br />
room for auditions,” Venutolo<br />
said. “They asked if I<br />
was going to audition. I said<br />
‘maybe,’ but I wasn’t planning<br />
on it. Now all of a sudden,<br />
here I am playing the<br />
Pharaoh.”<br />
Next week will mark<br />
Venutolo’s first time on stage<br />
in nearly 17 years. While he<br />
performed in college, he’s<br />
spent most of the time since<br />
behind the scenes, either directing<br />
or performing in the<br />
pit.<br />
“It’s a fun role, and the<br />
experience has been a whirlwind,”<br />
he said. “A lot of my<br />
students are in the show,<br />
which is cool. And it’s just<br />
a fun show for the audience<br />
and the cast. It’s probably<br />
one of the best family shows<br />
there is. The energy is just<br />
contagious.”<br />
Other than Knezz’s direction,<br />
bringing the show together<br />
is Sara Martin, who<br />
plays the narrator.<br />
“The narrator is exactly<br />
what it sounds like,” she<br />
said. “I tell the story as it<br />
goes. I open it up, and I keep<br />
the story moving along as<br />
characters move in and out<br />
of the show.”<br />
As a stay-at-home mom,<br />
Martin has been involved<br />
with community theater for<br />
the past 25 years. And for her,<br />
the intense production schedule<br />
is actually a benefit.<br />
“I love these production<br />
schedules,” she said. “I like<br />
it because it’s four times a<br />
week for three to four weeks.<br />
No weekend rehearsals. So<br />
being a sports mom, that<br />

means I don’t have to miss<br />
any games. It works out really<br />
great.”<br />
But it does present a challenge<br />
when it comes to<br />
memorizing her lines. As the<br />
narrator, she sings for nearly<br />
70 percent of the show.<br />
“I think so far it’s been<br />
a really good experience,”<br />
she said. “This is my first<br />
big show with this group.<br />
They’re doing great things,<br />
and I love doing shows for<br />

raise money for other people<br />

boosts it up because this<br />
is community theater, and I<br />
think one of the driving forces<br />
is to help people in your<br />
community.”

a band and perform Weezer’s<br />
“Beverly Hills” at the Taste<br />

some of Lockport resident<br />
Andrea Veltri’s earliest memories<br />
onstage.<br />
The 19-year-old Providence<br />
Catholic High School<br />
alumnus began taking guitar<br />
and vocal lessons at Lockport’s<br />
Allegro Music &<br />
Dance Academy when she<br />
was 6 years old. After joining<br />
the academy’s rock sound<br />
program, she became the<br />
lead singer for the band The<br />
Heartbreakers.<br />
“It was pretty legit,” she<br />
said of The Heartbreakers,<br />
which disbanded five years<br />
later.<br />
Veltri now is entering<br />
her sophomore year at<br />
Illinois State University<br />
and is studying business,<br />
but her drive to become a<br />
professional musician has not<br />
wavered.<br />
“I always used to tell my<br />
mom I want to be a rock star;<br />
I want to be onstage,” she<br />
said.<br />
As Veltri has matured, she<br />
has transformed from covering<br />
rock songs to writing<br />
country music and performing<br />
with an American flagthemed<br />
guitar.<br />
Veltri said country music<br />
always has appealed to her.<br />
“I love the meaning behind<br />
it,” she said. “I think a lot of<br />
people think it’s just pickup<br />
trucks and drinking and girls.<br />
… I feel like country music<br />
always hits home for me.”<br />
Veltri got a glimpse of life<br />
in the spotlight in 2014 when<br />
she opened for singer-songwriter<br />
Anna Nalick in Steger,<br />
Illinois. A year later, she<br />
opened for country singers<br />
Jason Michael Carroll and<br />
Jana Kramer.<br />
“It was the best times of<br />
my life,” Veltri said.<br />
Lockport musician Andrea Veltri now is a student at<br />
Illinois State University but seeks to further her career as a<br />
professional musician. Photo submitted<br />
Discovering she was one<br />
of three finalists in the BIG<br />
95.5 FM’s Next Big Thing<br />
Country Thunder competition<br />
and was selected to open<br />
for Kramer was a pivotal moment,<br />
she said.<br />
She submitted her entry<br />
to the contest two days before<br />
the deadline, Veltri said.<br />
When she read online that<br />
she was a Top 10 finalist,<br />
she barged into her parents’<br />
bedroom at 1 a.m. just to tell<br />
them the news. A week later,<br />
she learned she made the final<br />
cut and was to open for<br />
Jana Kramer.<br />
“It was insane,” she said.<br />
“It was one of the best moments<br />
of my music career.”<br />
As a high-schooler, she<br />
played at the Bluebird Cafe<br />
in Nashville and performed<br />
for Sirius XM The Highway.<br />
She also recorded a song she<br />
wrote “Soldiers of America”<br />
and sent 650 copies to members<br />
of the military stationed<br />
overseas, she said. The U.S.<br />
Air Force mailed a letter of<br />
honor and appreciation to<br />
Providence Catholic High<br />
School to thank her.<br />
Veltri’s efforts to help others<br />
through music expands<br />
beyond the military, as she<br />
started a music therapy program<br />
at Silver Cross Hospital<br />
in New Lenox. She said her<br />
grandfather frequented the<br />
hospital, and it upset her to<br />
see so many people without<br />
visitors.<br />
She said she hopes performing<br />
for patients of its<br />
rehabilitation center provides<br />
comfort.<br />
“It really doesn’t have to<br />
be such a sad place,” Veltri<br />
said.<br />
She still performs at the<br />
hospital roughly once a<br />
month since she moved to<br />
Bloomington-Normal to attend<br />
Illinois State University.<br />
She focused on academics<br />
as a first-year college<br />
student, which caused her<br />
to put her music career on<br />
a temporary hiatus, and she<br />
did not tell her peers she was<br />
a musician.<br />
“I was able to identify myself<br />
as not Andrea the musician<br />
but Andrea,” she said.<br />
“Without that piece of me, I<br />
felt boring.”<br />
As sophomore year approaches,<br />
she plans to prioritize<br />
performing and has<br />
started posting her music on<br />
social media.<br />
“I’m much more comfortable<br />
with my music now than<br />
I was in high school,” she<br />
said.<br />
“I’m more inclined to be<br />
myself and just embrace who<br />
I am as an artist.”<br />

the New Lenox Patriot | July 21, 2016 | 23<br />
RSVP to the laugh riot of ‘Mike<br />
and Dave Need Wedding Dates’<br />
Robert Sieger<br />
New Lenox resident<br />
rating: R | genre: Comedy | run time: 1 hour, 38 minutes<br />
Let’s put this out there first<br />
— screwball, R-rated comedies<br />
are really not for everyone.<br />
I’m OK with that; just like<br />
romance or action movies are<br />
not for everyone.<br />
In today’s movie-going<br />
world, you are apt to find a<br />
film in one of the local multiplexes<br />
that will fit your own<br />
particular tastes. I pretty much<br />
want to see everything. I have<br />
a very wide love for all things<br />
film. That being said, R-rated<br />
comedies are tough; take anything<br />
Sacha Baron Cohen has<br />
made after “Borat” as an example<br />
— swearing, nudity and<br />
toilet jokes really don’t make a<br />
film, but that pretty much sums<br />
up every one of his films since<br />
“Borat.”<br />
R-rated antics really don’t<br />
make a film funny unless you<br />
have the story and characters<br />
to fill it out. In “Mike and Dave<br />
Need Wedding Dates,” the<br />
very talents and likability of<br />
Zac Efron and Adam DeVine<br />
as bumbling but loving brothers<br />
make the film work.<br />
Dave (Zac Efron) and Mike<br />
(Adam DeVine) Stangle are<br />
the type of bothers who constantly<br />
egg each other on; from<br />
one poor decision to the next,<br />
their antics have hilariously<br />
ruined many a family outing.<br />
Fed up with their hijinks, their<br />
parents, Burt (the hilarious Stephen<br />
Root) and Jeanie (Sugar<br />
Lyn Beard), demand the boys<br />
find respectable dates to bring<br />
to their sister’s wedding in Hawaii.<br />
The boys are not terrible<br />
people, just likable idiots who<br />
get out of control sometimes,<br />
so they embark to fulfill their<br />
parents’ wishes.<br />
Of course, they turn to<br />
Craigslist, where everyone<br />
goes to find decent dates, and<br />
it causes a social media storm<br />
that overtakes the city. It eventually<br />
comes to the attention of<br />
two equally likeable but just as<br />
idiotic slacker girls in Tatiana<br />
(Aubrey Plaza from “Parks<br />
and Recreation” fame) and Alice<br />
(Anna Kendrick of “Pitch<br />
Perfect” fame) who conspire<br />
to get the boys to take them<br />
to Hawaii by pretending to be<br />
“nice girls,” when in reality,<br />
they are just as crazy as Dave<br />
and Mike.<br />
The boys ask them to the<br />
wedding, and once there, the<br />
girls turn out to be bigger disasters<br />
than the boys. And of<br />
course, hilarity ensues.<br />
“Mike and Dave” was written<br />
by Andrew Jay Cohen and<br />
Brendan O’Brien, the deviously<br />
funny minds behind the<br />
“Neighbors” films, and while<br />
those films were solidly frat<br />
humor, they balance “Mike<br />
and Dave” well by adding<br />
the girls to balance Mike and<br />
Dave’s idiotic ways.<br />
Director Jake Szymanski<br />
does a pretty decent job, but<br />
seems to lose the pace a bit<br />
in the middle part of the film.<br />
Much of that is due to the<br />
fantastic chemistry that Efron<br />
and DeVine share, and a slight<br />
lack of chemistry in Plaza and<br />
Kendrick.<br />
When they are either in a<br />
scene together or with the girls,<br />
you’ll be belly laughing, but<br />
when the girls are added to the<br />
mix, things just seem to slow<br />
a bit. While Plaza and Kendrick<br />
are funny, they simply<br />
don’t have the comedic chops<br />
of Efron and Devine. (I could<br />
have done with a little less<br />
of DeVine’s signature highpitched<br />
whines). All that being<br />
said, Efron is building himself<br />
up as a solid comedic talent<br />
and is leaving his Disney roots<br />
firmly behind him.<br />
“Mike and Dave Need Wedding<br />
Dates” is a solid B- that<br />
will leave you chuckling as<br />
you leave the theater.<br />

The Dish<br />
Orland Park chef gives kick<br />
to historic Chicago kitchen<br />
Bill Jones, Managing Editor<br />
New Daily Breakfast Specials<br />
Chicago’s Italian Village is<br />
all about its history.<br />
Opened in 1927 by Alfredo<br />
Capitanini, the building —<br />
which houses three distinct<br />
restaurants in The Village,<br />
Vivere and La Cantina — still<br />
operates under third-generation<br />
owner Gina Capitanini<br />
and lays claim to the title of<br />
“oldest continuously operating<br />
Italian restaurant in Chicago.”<br />
And while Vivere offers a<br />
contemporary spin on Italian<br />
and La Cantina an intimate<br />
setting with a wine cellar<br />
vibe, The Village still stands<br />
as monument to the classic<br />
Northern Italian cuisine that<br />
helped get it started nearly 90<br />
years ago.<br />
But even The Village boasts<br />
some newness nowadays, and<br />
that is thanks, in large part, to<br />
Executive Chef Jose Torres, of<br />
Orland Park.<br />
“We needed a mature chef,”<br />
general manager Joe Deininger<br />
said of hiring Torres. “Jose’s<br />
done a great job for us.”<br />
Torres previously cooked<br />
for Orland Park’s Rock Bottom<br />
Restaurant & Brewery<br />
but departed from that post<br />
roughly two years ago. After<br />
taking a month for himself,<br />
Torres said through a recruiter<br />
he quickly found himself at<br />
Italian Village, thanks to his<br />
Italian cooking background<br />
with Buca di Beppo and Luigi’s<br />
House.<br />
“I came in here four times,”<br />
he said. “I did an interview,<br />
day follow, food presentation.”<br />
His presentation — which<br />
featured items like a white pizza<br />
with Alfredo sauce, mushrooms,<br />
spinach and chicken;<br />
butternut ravioli with white<br />
wine bacon sauce; and salmon<br />
with root vegetables wrapped<br />
in parchment paper — wowed<br />
the staff.<br />
Jose Torres, of Orland Park, stands in the entryway of<br />
Italian Village’s The Village restaurant in Chicago, where he<br />
serves as executive chef. Bill Jones/22nd Century Media<br />
Torres was “on the money”<br />
with his sampling, Deininger<br />
said. He originally was hired<br />
to work La Cantina, but six<br />
months later he was promoted<br />
to executive chef of The Village.<br />
“It’s a new challenge for<br />
me,” Torres said. “[Capitanini]<br />
asked, ‘Can you run the restaurant?’<br />
I said, ‘Yes.’”<br />
While much of what Torres<br />
and his fellow cooks plate are<br />
traditional dishes, with things<br />
like the Pollo Alfredo — one<br />
of the originals from 1927<br />
— meat cannelloni, chicken<br />
Vesuvio and lasagna taking<br />
center stage, he also has an opportunity<br />
to put his flourishes<br />
on the menu.<br />
“The chefs get to highlight<br />
their talents on the back of the<br />
menu,” Deininger said.<br />
For Torres, that has meant<br />
serving some of the dishes<br />
that were part of his audition,<br />
as well as some new concepts<br />
along the way. It has provided<br />
him a nice mix of old and new,<br />
his involvement both serving<br />
the tradition of The Village<br />
while pushing it in new<br />
directions.<br />
Still, some things will never<br />
change, Deininger said.<br />
“The only thing that’s<br />
changed is the ceiling and the<br />

floor,” the general manager<br />
said of the interior. “Architecturally,<br />
it has never changed,<br />
and it never will.”<br />
But culinarily, Torres plans<br />
to keep it fresh and interesting<br />
for customers for years to<br />
come, be it with fresh vegetables<br />
from the modern earth box<br />
the chefs cultivate on the roof,<br />
catering to a surge in food allergies<br />
or simply changing the<br />
recipe for a particular sauce.<br />
Deininger said he does not<br />
think any amount of creativity<br />
could change Chicago’s<br />
view of Italian Village as an<br />
institution.<br />
“There’s so much history<br />
it’s ridiculous,” he said. “It’s<br />
just a family tradition that<br />
keeps happening.”<br />

is making it easier than<br />
ever to claim a generouslyappointed<br />
and thoughtfully<br />
designed new home in a<br />
great location with the introduction<br />
of new Premium<br />
Standard Features at Prairie<br />
Trails—a community of 100<br />
single-family homes in Manhattan.<br />
“The new home designs<br />
at Prairie Trails now offer<br />
more flexibility and value<br />
to our customers,” said<br />
Bryan Nooner, president of<br />
Distinctive Home Builders.<br />
“They are attractively base<br />
priced from the low $200s,<br />
making it more affordable<br />
than ever to become a<br />
homeowner here. And yet,<br />
the price doesn’t mean you<br />
have to compromise your<br />
expectations or tastes. We’ve<br />
included a lion’s share of<br />
luxury features and in-demand<br />
standard inclusions<br />
at Prairie Trails that all add<br />
up to a tremendous deal on a<br />
brand new residence.”<br />
“You really can have it all.<br />
Most home shoppers realize<br />
there is a trade off from getting<br />
what you need and what<br />
you want in a new home.<br />
With our new premium inclusions<br />
we have closed that<br />
gap significantly by including<br />
additional features that<br />
our buyers told us were most<br />
important to them.<br />
“Prairie Trails has the<br />
premium standard features<br />
that today’s buyers want in<br />
a new home, such as custom<br />
kitchen cabinets with soft<br />
close doors and drawers,<br />
granite kitchen countertops,<br />
ceramic tile or hardwood<br />
floors, and a choice of white<br />
painted or oak trim.”<br />
At Prairie Trails in Manhattan,<br />
buyers can choose<br />
from 12 different home designs;<br />
each available in three<br />
to eight different elevations.<br />
The three and four-bedroom<br />
homes range in size<br />
from 1,600 to over 3,000<br />
square feet with ranch, split<br />
level and two-story designs.<br />
Special limited time Pre-<br />
Construction prices are still<br />
in effect with homes priced<br />
from the low $200s.<br />
ery home we sell no matter<br />
what the price range,” noted<br />
Nooner.<br />
Nooner added that all<br />
homes are highly energy efficient.<br />
Every home built will<br />
have upgraded wall and ceiling<br />
insulation values with<br />
energy efficient windows<br />
and high efficiency furnaces.<br />
Before customers take<br />
possession of their new<br />
home, Distinctive Home<br />
Builders will conduct a<br />
blower door test that pressurizes<br />
the home to ensure<br />
that each home passes a set<br />
of very stringent Energy Efficiency<br />
guidelines.<br />
When you purchase a<br />
Distinctive Home you are<br />
getting a high quality hand<br />
Other premium standard<br />
features included at Prairie<br />
Trails that are not offered<br />
anywhere else in the marketplace<br />
are brick exteriors<br />
on all four sides of the first<br />
floor, concrete driveways,<br />
free basements in most<br />
models, ceramic tile or hardwood<br />
floors in the kitchen,<br />
baths and foyer; and custom<br />
cabinets. Distinctive<br />
kitchen cabinets feature<br />
solid wood construction (no<br />
particle board), have solid<br />
wood drawers with dove tail<br />
joints, which is very rare in<br />
the marketplace.<br />
“When you buy a new<br />
home from Distinctive, you<br />
truly are receiving custom<br />
made cabinets in evcrafted<br />
home. Before closing,<br />
each home undergoes<br />
an industry-leading checklist<br />
that ensures each home<br />
measures up to the firm’s<br />
high quality standards.<br />
Prairie Trails is also a<br />
beautiful place to live featuring<br />
a 20 acre lake on the<br />
site, as well as direct access<br />
to a 22-mile Wauponsee Glacial<br />
Prairie Path trail that<br />
borders the community. The<br />
Metra station is also nearby.<br />
Building homes in the<br />
area is nothing new for<br />
Nooner and his company.<br />
Distinctive has built hundreds<br />
of homes in Manhattan<br />
and thousands in the<br />
Will and south Cook county<br />
area over the past 30 years.<br />

Children from households that meet Federal guidelines are eligible for free or reduced-price meal services. Complete one application<br />
per household for all children that attend the same school district.<br />
All meals served must meet the U. S. Department of Agriculture meal requirements. However, if a child has been determined by a doctor<br />
to have a disability and the disability would prevent the child from eating the regular school meal, this school will make substitutions<br />
prescribed by the doctor. If a substitution is needed, there will be no extra charge for the meal. If you believe your child needs substitutions<br />
because of a disability, please contact the school for further information.<br />
Application forms are available at the principal’s o ce in each school. To apply for free or reduced-price meal services, households must<br />
complete the application as soon as possible, sign it and return it to the school. Households should answer all applicable questions on the<br />
form. An application, which does not contain all the required information, cannot be processed and approved by the school. Women,<br />
Infants, and Children (WIC) participants may be eligible for free/reduced-price meals and are encouraged to complete an application<br />
for meal benefits.<br />
The required information is as follows:<br />
FOOD STAMP/TANF HOUSEHOLDS: If you received a letter with an eligibility certificate for school meals, return the eligibility<br />
certificate to the school your child attends. You do not have to complete this application to receive meal benefits. Households that<br />
currently receive food stamps or ‘‘Temporary Assistance for Needy Families’’ (TANF) for their child(ren), only have to list the child(ren)’s<br />
name and food stamp or TANF case number and sign the application. Applications listing LINK card number cannot be used for free<br />
or reduced-price meals.<br />
ALL OTHER HOUSEHOLDS: If a household’s income is at or below the level shown on the income scale, children are eligible for either<br />
free or reduced-price meal services. Households must provide the following information: (1) the names of all household members; (2)<br />
the Social Security number of the adult household member signing the application, or indicate if the adult does not have a Social Security<br />
number; (3) the amount of income each household member received last month, how frequently it is paid, and where it came from<br />
(wages, child support, etc.); and (4) the signature of an adult household member.<br />
The information on the application may be checked by school or other o cials at any time during the school year.<br />
Households may apply for benefits at any time during the school year. Households that are not eligible now but have a decrease in<br />
household income, an increase in household size or have a household member that becomes unemployed should fill out an application<br />
at that time.<br />
In certain cases, foster children are eligible for free or reduced-price meal services regardless of the household income. Households that<br />
have foster children living with them and wish to apply for free or reduced-price meal services for them should complete the application.<br />
Homeless, migrant and runaway youth are categorically eligible for free meals. Please follow instructions and return form to school.<br />
Households dissatisfied with the ruling of the o cial may wish to discuss it with the school. Households also have the right to a fair hearing.<br />
This can be done by calling or writing the following o cial:<br />
The Principal, Business Manager, or Superintendent in the school/school district in which you live<br />

Athlete of the Week<br />
10 Questions<br />
with Ryan McWilliams<br />
Ryan McWilliams is going to<br />
be a junior at Lincoln-Way<br />
West High School, where<br />
he will be a member of the<br />
Warriors baseball team.<br />
Who got you into<br />
baseball?<br />
Mostly my dad, my uncle,<br />
and my grandpa. They all<br />
played baseball at a high<br />
level. My dad played for<br />
the Philadelphia Phillies,<br />
my grandpa played for<br />
the Mets, and my uncle<br />
was drafted out of high<br />
school. I’ve really admired<br />
all three of them, and have<br />
always wanted to get to their<br />
level.<br />
What’s the best part<br />
about the sport?<br />
The thing I’ve learned<br />
is that you fail 70 percent<br />
of the game but succeed at<br />
the other 30 percent. If you<br />
fail, you always have that<br />
next opportunity to hit the<br />
next pitch at the next at bat,<br />
so that’s really what I love<br />
about the game.<br />
What’s the best advice<br />
you’ve ever gotten from<br />
one of your coaches?<br />
Keep it simple. If I ever<br />
made a mistake, my coach<br />
would say, “I know what<br />
type of talent you have, so<br />
prove it the next play.”<br />
Who do you look up to?<br />
I’ve always looked up to<br />
my dad. I’ve never had a<br />
hitting coach or a pitching<br />
coach, and he has always<br />
been the one that has helped<br />
me out. He has always been a<br />
role model to me.<br />
Do you have any<br />
pregame superstitions?<br />
I usually sit in the dugout<br />
and talk to myself saying,<br />
“This is what I’m going to<br />
do today.” Before every at<br />
bat and before every game I<br />
pitch, I think about what I’m<br />
going to do in this type of<br />
situation.<br />
What made you want to<br />
be a pitcher?<br />
I just like the aspect of<br />
pitching. My dad was a pitcher,<br />
and he basically trained<br />
me to become a pitcher. As a<br />
left-handed pitcher, I can go<br />
really far as long as I pitch in<br />
the strike zone.<br />
What are you going to<br />
remember most about<br />
this past season?<br />
Mostly my coaches giving<br />
me the opportunity to play<br />
at a higher level than most<br />
players my age. I played varsity<br />
as a sophomore.<br />
What did you like most<br />
about attending Central?<br />
I liked the atmosphere<br />
there. I liked the teachers and<br />
coaches a lot. I always went<br />
to Friday night [baseball]<br />
games when I was little and<br />
looked up to those guys. To<br />
get the opportunity to play<br />
under those lights was really<br />
cool.<br />
What are your goals for<br />
this upcoming baseball<br />
season?<br />
Mainly be a team player. I<br />
James Sanchez/22nd Century<br />
Media<br />
can’t look at what my average<br />
would be and stuff like<br />
that. I would rather be a team<br />
type of player.<br />
What’s your favorite<br />
memory on the baseball<br />
diamond?<br />
It was during a game<br />
against Lincoln Way-West<br />
last season. It was a big rivalry<br />
game, and a lot of weight<br />
was on my shoulders because<br />
I’m going to be going there<br />
next year. The score was tied<br />
0-0 in the fifth inning, and I<br />
drove in a run. Also during<br />
the game I made three diving<br />
catches. We won the game<br />
1-0. One of the West coaches<br />
told me I single-handedly<br />
beat them that game, so that<br />
was really cool.<br />
Interview by Editorial Intern<br />
Michael Ivey.<br />
Going Places<br />
Hopper headed to Millikin<br />
Michael Ivey, Editorial Intern<br />
For the past two years,<br />
Isaac Hopper was a regular in<br />
net for the Lincoln-Way Central<br />
boys soccer team.<br />
This fall, the goalkeeper<br />
will make the short trip to<br />
Decatur, Illinois, to begin his<br />
collegiate athletic career at<br />
Millikin University.<br />
“I’m really excited,” Isaac<br />
said. “It has always been a<br />
goal of mine to play college<br />
soccer, and I’ve been really<br />
fortunate and excited to carry<br />
on with it.”<br />
Hopper first considered<br />
Millikin when his high<br />
school coach, Sean Fahey,<br />
recommended going on a<br />
visit there.<br />
“When I began the college<br />
process, I was looking at liberal<br />
arts schools and my high<br />
school coach, Coach Fahey,<br />
talked [Millikin] up,” Hopper<br />
said. “So when I started<br />
visiting schools, it was one of<br />
the first places I visited, and I<br />
absolutely loved the campus<br />
and got a scholarship there. It<br />
all just worked out together.”<br />
Hopper started playing<br />
soccer as a child when his<br />
dad introduced the sport to<br />
him.<br />
“My dad had been coaching<br />
and playing when I was really<br />
young,” Hopper said. “I had<br />
always been around the game<br />
and loved it. I definitely started<br />
playing because of him.”<br />
Hopper’s father, Colin,<br />
said he enjoyed watching his<br />
son play for Lincoln Way-<br />
Central and Fahey.<br />
“It was a great deal of fun<br />
to watch him,” Colin said. “I<br />
was able to help out coaching<br />
him a little bit. I have nothing<br />
but good things to say about<br />
Coach Fahey and the staff at<br />
Lincoln Way-Central. From<br />
the day he started his first<br />
camp, the coaches were very<br />
professional and motivated,<br />
and gave Isaac a wonderful<br />
experience. To see him<br />
Isaac Hopper defends the goal for Lincoln-Way Central<br />
during a fall 2015 game. 22nd Century Media File Photo<br />
develop as both a player and<br />
a man was quite thrilling,<br />
and I’m looking forward to<br />
watching him continue his<br />
career at Millikin.”<br />
Colin is a history teacher<br />
at Lincoln Way-Central and<br />
was a goalie coach at Lincoln<br />
Way-East for 10 years. He<br />
said he believes one of the<br />
most important skills a goalie<br />
needs is leadership, and he<br />
said his son grew as a leader<br />
while playing as a goalie for<br />
Lincoln Way-Central.<br />
“As a goalkeeper, you need<br />
some height, quick reflexes,<br />
and you need to develop<br />
into a leader because you’re<br />
the only one who can see<br />
the whole field,” Colin said.<br />
“You have to command from<br />
the back and tell your defense<br />
what to do. It took him<br />
a while to grow into all of<br />
those, but eventually, he used<br />
his maturity to end up being<br />
a leader on his team. He was<br />
one of only two seniors on<br />
the team. It really fell upon<br />
him to take a leadership role.<br />
I think the experiences he had<br />
as an underclassmen really<br />
helped him with that.”<br />
Hopper said he loves playing<br />
goalie because of the responsibility<br />
that comes with<br />
the position.<br />
“As a goalie, I love the<br />
pressure that’s involved,” he<br />
said. “I love being someone<br />
that my team can count on,<br />
and I love the fact the sport<br />
isn’t easy. Both of those<br />
things just make it a lot of<br />
fun.”<br />
Hopper said he will always<br />
have fond memories of being<br />
a student at Lincoln Way-<br />
Central due in part to the students<br />
and faculty.<br />
“Both the teachers and<br />
coaches are just amazing,”<br />
Hopper said. “They care<br />
about the students so much.<br />
Also, the Knight pride the<br />
school had — there’s a really<br />
awesome atmosphere at<br />
Lincoln Way-Central that I’m<br />
definitely going to miss.”

Lewis is looking to be on<br />
the rise after finishing this<br />
past year with its first double-digit<br />
win season since<br />
2012. It is only the second<br />
10-plus win season since<br />
1997. Pearson said the team<br />
dealt with a variety of injuries<br />
throughout the course of<br />
the season, which led to an<br />
early end in the Great Lakes<br />
Valley Conference Tournament<br />
in the first round.<br />
It was an eye-opening experience<br />
for Pearson. She<br />
chose Lewis University out<br />
of the eight total schools that<br />
recruited her mostly because<br />
it was the only Division-II<br />
school. Most high school<br />
teams have only a few highly<br />
skilled players, unlike college<br />
where everyone is welltrained,<br />
she said. Pearson<br />
noticed the difference first<br />
hand within the first couple<br />
of practices.<br />
“When I first started seeing<br />
some of the girls and<br />
having them take shots on<br />
me, the skill level was probably<br />
three steps higher than<br />
[high school] varsity level,”<br />
Pearson said.<br />
Pearson appeared in three<br />
games in her freshman campaign<br />
with the Flyers. It is a<br />
small sample size, but she<br />
has come a long way, entering<br />
the program as the<br />
team’s only walk-on.<br />
Despite leaving West<br />
with 30 shutouts in her high<br />
school career, she entered<br />
Lewis in the back of the<br />
pecking order as the third<br />
goalie. By the end of the<br />
season, she moved up as the<br />
team’s primary backup behind<br />
starter Jennifer Meyer.<br />
Her work earned herself<br />
scholarship money for this<br />
upcoming school year. She<br />
earned quality minutes competing<br />
in spring exhibition<br />
games, which included shutting<br />
out Division-I Loyola<br />
University for an entire half.<br />
The early progress was accelerated<br />
because of her varsity<br />
experience at West and<br />
her time working with Warriors<br />
head coach Jeff Theiss.<br />
“I don’t know if any other<br />
school could have prepared<br />
me any better,” she said. “...<br />
I cannot thank Jeff enough<br />
for what he gave me in terms<br />
of assets, work ethic and<br />
being a team player. I was<br />
a step ahead of most of the<br />
freshman because I knew<br />
what kind of work I needed<br />
to put in.”<br />
Even though Meyer started<br />
all last year, it does not<br />
mean she will maintain her<br />
starting role this fall. Pearson<br />
said Lewis head coach<br />
Chris Koenig gives all his<br />
players an equal opportunity<br />
to earn a spot.<br />
With Koenig starting each<br />
season from scratch, it has lit<br />
a fire to the team, who are all<br />
vying for positions, as well<br />
as building off last year’s<br />
success, she said.<br />
“People come from an<br />
hour-and-a-half away just<br />
to be here with each other<br />
and work with each other,”<br />
she said. “We want to win<br />
so bad, we’ll almost do anything<br />
for it.”<br />
And if Pearson won the<br />
starting role, it would mean<br />
a culmination of work, coming<br />
into Lewis as a walk-on<br />
to a starter in just a year’s<br />
time, has paid off.<br />
“[Being the starting goalie]<br />
would mean that what I’m<br />
doing is what I should be doing,”<br />
Pearson said. “My work<br />
is worth something, and if I<br />
keep working harder I’m going<br />
to keep that position. The<br />
other goalkeeper I’m competing<br />
against, I love her to<br />
death. She’s above me right<br />
now. If I keep pushing and if<br />
I get passed her, I’ll push her<br />
to try and beat me again. That<br />
will only raise our level even<br />
higher.”

Provi graduate collects football accolades, moves from Mokena to Oregon<br />
Jon DePaolis<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
In his grade school years,<br />
Mokena resident Zac Morgan<br />
wasn’t allowed to play football<br />
because he was much<br />
bigger than everyone else his<br />
age.<br />
But the offensive tackle<br />
made up for lost time by<br />
having stellar careers at<br />
Providence Catholic and the<br />
University of Dayton. Now,<br />
Morgan will use his last year<br />
of NCAA eligibility to go<br />
from Dayton to the University<br />
of Oregon as a graduate<br />
transfer.<br />
Quick learner<br />
Because of his size at a<br />
young age, Morgan said his<br />
parents didn’t allow him to<br />
play football until he got to<br />
high school.<br />
“But growing up, I had<br />
three older sisters who<br />
all went to Providence<br />
— which is known for being<br />
a football powerhouse<br />
with such a strong tradition<br />
there,” he said. “I grew up<br />
going to the games, and<br />
I fell in love with the idea<br />
that it could be me out there<br />
in the future.”<br />
He started playing football<br />
his freshman year at Providence.<br />
His first two years,<br />
he played a bit of defense<br />
but was mostly an offensive<br />
tackle — a position he has<br />
played his entire career.<br />
“I grew into my body a<br />
little bit and finally was able<br />
to use my strength to my advantage,”<br />
he said.<br />
He capped his Providence<br />
career with a first-team All-<br />
Conference selection, and<br />
Morgan redshirted his freshman<br />
season at Dayton in<br />
2012.<br />
Morgan was a rotational<br />
player the first few times he<br />
got into games his sophomore<br />
year. But after an injury<br />
to a senior teammate,<br />
Morgan said he started five<br />
games in a row.<br />
The next two years, he<br />
started every game.<br />
“I probably played more<br />
plays than anybody on my<br />
team,” Morgan said. “I never<br />
came off the field, and I<br />
wasn’t injured at all. I stayed<br />
on for field goals, too.”<br />
His junior year, Morgan<br />
played right tackle. His senior<br />
year, he moved to left<br />
tackle.<br />
“I played right [tackle] one<br />
year, because we had a lefthanded<br />
quarterback,” he said.<br />
“I went back to left [tackle]<br />
when we had a right-handed<br />
quarterback. It doesn’t really<br />
make a difference to me. It<br />
takes about a week or two to<br />
get back into rhythm.”<br />
Morgan credited his coaches<br />
at Dayton for teaching him<br />
the game and preparing him<br />
well.<br />
“Game experience definitely<br />
helps,” he added. “I<br />
remember first playing my<br />
sophomore year at Dayton,<br />
and things were going a mile<br />
a minute. But last year, things<br />
came to me a lot slower. I<br />
was able to dissect things as<br />
they were happening during<br />
play. Things definitely<br />
slowed down for me.”<br />
This last season, led by a<br />
core group of seniors, Dayton<br />
won its conference championship,<br />
finishing the season<br />
10-2.<br />
“That was a huge deal for<br />
us,” Morgan said of winning<br />
conference. “We were working<br />
toward it for a long time.”<br />
He said he’ll always remember<br />
clinching the conference<br />
crown in a game against<br />
Marist College.<br />
“It was our 10th win of the<br />
year, and everyone was going<br />
nuts,” he said. “Our families<br />
were on the field after the<br />
game. Everybody’s families<br />
were really invested in the<br />
team, and they were traveling<br />
Mokena native and Providence graduate, Zach Morgan,<br />
during one of his games with the University of Dayton.<br />
Morgan is an offensive tackler who recently transfered to<br />
play football with the University of Oregon. Photo submitted<br />
with us everywhere. It was a<br />
lot of fun to be able to share<br />
that with everybody.<br />
“The four years at Dayton<br />
were — so far — the best<br />
four years of my life.”<br />
Racking up the awards<br />
Morgan said technique<br />
is by far the most important<br />
factor in separating a good<br />
offensive lineman from an<br />
average lineman.<br />
“And having an<br />
understanding of what the<br />
offense is trying to do and<br />
how the defense will try<br />
to counteract it,” he said.<br />
“You have to understand<br />
and know schematically<br />
what both sides are trying<br />
to do, and picking up the<br />
tendencies of the defense.<br />
“That’s one of the biggest<br />
differences of high school<br />
football to college — from an<br />
offensive line standpoint, you<br />
should know if somebody is<br />
lined up like so, then this is<br />
coming. It’s studying your<br />
opponents.”<br />
Morgan certainly did that<br />
on his way to a bevy of awards<br />
and recognitions. During his<br />
time at Dayton, Morgan was<br />
named as a first-team All-<br />
Pioneer Football League selection<br />
(2015), an honorable<br />
mention All-PFL selection<br />
(2014), twice a second-team<br />
Academic PFL selection, and<br />
three times a member of the<br />
PFL Academic Honor Roll.<br />
He also was recipient of the<br />
Stan Kurdziel Outstanding<br />
Lineman Award two years in<br />
a row (2014, 2015).<br />
“That was an award that<br />
was voted on by my teammates,<br />
so I think that makes<br />
it even more of a big deal for<br />
me — just knowing that I<br />
have that sort of appreciation<br />
from all those guys,” Morgan<br />
said. “It means the world to<br />
me.”<br />
On to Oregon<br />
After the Flyers’ season<br />
ended, Morgan visited Providence<br />
Catholic during winter<br />
break.<br />
“I was at home lifting at<br />
Providence, and my high<br />
school head coach came up<br />
to me and said there was this<br />
guy from Oregon who was<br />
there and he was asking about<br />
me,” Morgan said. “He gave<br />
his contact info and left it for<br />
me. I called him and sent my<br />
transcripts and some film.<br />
“Everything kind of blew<br />
up from that over winter<br />
break.”<br />
In mid-January, Morgan<br />
said coaches flew out to Dayton<br />
to meet him. Then, around<br />
Jan. 30, he visited the campus<br />
and signed the paperwork. As<br />
a graduate transfer, he has one<br />
year left of eligibility.<br />
Reached by phone July 7,<br />
Morgan said he had been in<br />
Eugene, Oregon for close to<br />
three weeks going to summer<br />
workouts with the team, as<br />
well as summer classes.<br />
“It’s been great, and it’s<br />
definitely been a change of<br />
pace from what I was used to<br />
at Dayton,” he said. “We’ve<br />
been working out about<br />
five days a week now, and I<br />
have to take some classes in<br />
summer school to be eligible<br />
to practice with the team<br />
right now.”<br />
Morgan said the workload<br />
was similar to that of Dayton<br />
— just kicked up a notch.<br />
“At Dayton, we worked<br />
our butts off, too, and the<br />
work level is about the same,”<br />
he said. “But everybody is<br />
a little bit bigger, a little bit<br />
faster. And there’s definitely<br />
a lot more [funding] in this<br />
program than there was at<br />
Dayton.<br />
“I tell people that this<br />
whole facility is like Disney<br />
World for football players.<br />
It’s something else.”<br />
As for classes, Morgan —<br />
a finance major at Dayton —<br />
is taking economics courses<br />
at Oregon for his master’s<br />
program.<br />
“It’s an unbelievable opportunity,”<br />
he said. “I’m<br />
working right now to become<br />
the best I can be and earn a<br />
playing position this fall. I<br />
want to do whatever I can to<br />
help my team win, and hopefully<br />
take Oregon back to the<br />
college football playoffs.<br />
“That’s something they<br />
always talk about here —<br />
working to get back to the<br />
[national championship] and<br />
to win it this time.”<br />

Celtics make it to second game of Lockport Regional<br />
RANDY WHALEN<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
It sounded strange to hear<br />
Providence baseball coach<br />
Mark Smith use the term<br />
“uncharted territory” after a<br />
playoff victory last week.<br />
After all, Smith and the<br />
Celtics have only won three<br />
straight Class 4A baseball<br />
state championships.<br />
But those are in the spring.<br />
In the summer season, he’s<br />
usually not too concerned<br />
with the results, he said.<br />
His team, however, got a<br />
winning result in the opening<br />
game of the Lockport<br />
Regional last week. That<br />
came when Providence rallied<br />
for six runs in the top of<br />
the seventh and held on to<br />
defeat host Andrew 11-8 on<br />
July 11 in Tinley Park.<br />
“I told the kids that we<br />
usually don’t get this far; it’s<br />
uncharted territory,” Smith<br />
said following the victory.<br />
“We’re not usually one to<br />
take the summer seriously.”<br />
That showed in the fact<br />
that none of the state champion<br />
Providence teams in the<br />
past three seasons have even<br />
advanced further than the<br />
quarterfinals of the summer<br />
regional.<br />
This year’s didn’t either.<br />
The next day, July 12,<br />
Providence lost to Plainfield<br />
South by the score of 13-1 in<br />
five innings in the quarterfinals<br />
at Lockport. That ended<br />
the summer season for the<br />
Celtics (2-9). The Cougars<br />
(8-3), who scored eight runs<br />
in the bottom of the fourth to<br />
put the game away against<br />
Providence, had their semifinal<br />
game against Joliet<br />
Catholic Academy on July<br />
13 rained out.<br />
“We still got a lot of<br />
questions answered,” Smith<br />
said following the loss to<br />
Plainfield South. “We didn’t<br />
have all our kids here, but<br />
the ones that were got to<br />
showcase themselves in a<br />
tournament format.”<br />
The Celtics showcased<br />
their never-give-up attitude<br />
in the game against Andrew.<br />
True to his philosophy,<br />
Smith brought in sophomore<br />
T.J. Galligani to pitch in the<br />
bottom of the sixth with the<br />
score tied 5-5. The righthander,<br />
who hadn’t pitched<br />
in a varsity game all summer,<br />
walked junior second<br />
baseman Mike McGrail and<br />
junior pinch hitter Tom Mc-<br />
Garry to open the inning.<br />
The two of them eventually<br />
scored on a combination of<br />
passed balls and wild pitches<br />
as the Thunderbolts took a<br />
7-5 lead.<br />
But Galligani settled in<br />
to get a strikeout and two<br />
ground outs to end the inning.<br />
He was eventually the<br />
winning pitcher.<br />
That’s because Providence<br />
scored six runs in the top of<br />
the seventh, five of them after<br />
two were out. After a fly<br />
out started the inning, junior<br />
third baseman Logan Anderson<br />
then belted a home run<br />
to left center to cut the lead<br />
to one. Senior first baseman<br />
Matt Swanson (3-for-4, 2 R)<br />
singled to center, and junior<br />
designated hitter Dylan Gorski<br />
reached on an error.<br />
A fly out to center moved<br />
Swanson to third, but also<br />
moved the T-Bolts within<br />
an out of victory. That never<br />
happened, however, as<br />
sophomore center fielder<br />
Alex Helmin (2-for-5, R,<br />
3 RBI) singled to left to tie<br />
the game. Junior shortstop<br />
Steven Meyer (2-for-4, 2 R,<br />
2 RBI) then walked to load<br />
the bases.<br />
At that point, Andrew<br />
made a pitching change, but<br />
that didn’t matter to Drew<br />
Hunniford (2-for-4, R, 4<br />
RBI). The senior right fielder,<br />
who is the younger brother of<br />
former Celtics standout Justin<br />
Hunniford, hammered a<br />
3-run triple to deep left center.<br />
He then scored on a wild<br />
pitch to make the score 11-7.<br />
“I was looking bad all<br />
day,” Hunniford said. “I had<br />
missed a ball that I could<br />
have caught in right field, so<br />
I had to do something to turn<br />
it around.”<br />
Hunniford said he believes<br />
that the Celtics’ success<br />
is contagious.<br />
“Obviously, we lose a lot<br />
of seniors,” he said of the 19<br />
seniors who graduated from<br />
this spring’s state championship<br />
team — most of them<br />
two- or three-year starters.<br />
“But we’re going to do the<br />
best that we can. Celtics are<br />
known for coming back, so<br />
there wasn’t a doubt in my<br />
mind.”<br />
Andrew (9-5) scored a run<br />
in the bottom of the seventh.<br />
Senior third baseman Joe<br />
Oswald (1-for-3, 3 R) led off<br />
with a single to left. He was<br />
wild pitched to second and<br />
scored on a pair of ground<br />
outs.<br />
The T-Bolts scored three<br />
runs in the second. Oswald<br />
walked to lead off the inning.<br />
Senior Tom Flisk (2-<br />
for-3, RBI) had a bunt single<br />
up the first base line. Junior<br />
shortstop Jake Plastiak (2-<br />
for-3, 3 RBI) pounded an<br />
RBI double to right center,<br />
and Flisk also scored on the<br />
play when the relay throw<br />
in got loose. Senior right<br />
fielder Dan Cryan had a bunt<br />
single, and McGrail knocked<br />
in the third run with a RBI<br />
ground out.<br />
Andrew added an unearned<br />
run in the third. With<br />
two outs and none on, Oswald<br />
reached on an error.<br />
Flisk was hit by a pitch, and<br />
Plastiak pulverized a ground<br />
rule double to left center.<br />
In the fourth, Providence<br />
got on the board with a trio<br />
of runs. Swanson led off<br />
with a single to right. Gorski<br />
walked and junior second<br />

Providence’s Kevin O’Boyle swings at a pitch during the game.<br />
baseman Ryan Kaup singled<br />
to right to load the bases.<br />
Helmin smacked a 2-run<br />
single to right center and<br />
Meyer closed the Celtics<br />
within a run on a fielders<br />
choice groundout.<br />
The fifth brought another<br />
run from for the T-Bolts.<br />
With one out, senior first<br />
baseman Dan Heilbron doubled<br />
to right. One out and a<br />
wild pitch later, he scored on<br />
an RBI double to right center<br />
by Flisk. Providence tied<br />
it in the sixth. Gorski led<br />
off with a walk, was sacrificed<br />
to second by Kaup and<br />
scored on a 2-out single to<br />
left by Meyer. Then Meyer<br />
stole second and scored on<br />
a ground rule double to left<br />
center by Hunniford.<br />
While the Andrew game<br />
was the only one the Celtics<br />
won in the summer regional,<br />
it showed that next spring<br />
could be another successful<br />
one for them.<br />
“I was proud of them,”<br />
Smith said of his team. “We<br />
were down 4-0, 5-3, 7-5 and<br />
we came back. We battled<br />
back, and that’s the Providence<br />
way. We battle until<br />
the last out.”

The Central transfer<br />
is continuing to<br />
impress his new<br />

Central runs into red hot<br />
Plainfield North, loses 18-5<br />
New coach Nowicki<br />
finishes summer<br />
league at 7-5 record<br />
James Sanchez<br />
Assistant Editor<br />
The proverb “when it<br />
rains, it pours” can certainly<br />
describe Lincoln-Way<br />
Central’s July 11 matchup<br />
against Plainfield North during<br />
the IHSBCA summer regional<br />
tournament.<br />
After striking first to open<br />
the game with a 1-0 lead<br />
and maintaining it for a<br />
several innings, the Tigers<br />
put on a hitting display that<br />
not many high school teams<br />
can duplicate. The barrage<br />
started with back-to-back<br />
home runs to capture the<br />
lead, and they never looked<br />
back. Plainfield North won<br />
18-5 to advance to the<br />
regional quarterfinals.<br />
“They hit everything we<br />
threw at them,” said head<br />
coach Mitch Nowicki. “We<br />
changed pitchers a bunch of<br />
times, but we just ran into<br />
a really hot team and really<br />
hot hitters.”<br />
The Tigers’ high-powered<br />
offense carried over into the<br />
next round against top-seed<br />
Minooka the following day,<br />
as they scored 14 runs in the<br />
top of the first inning alone.<br />
They are on the rise after a<br />
fourth place finish at state in<br />
June, while Central’s program<br />
is in a completely different<br />
phase.<br />
The Knights are under the<br />
guidance of new head coach<br />
Nowicki, who led Lincoln-<br />
Way North to a 30-plus win<br />
season in spring, and also<br />
have to deal with Mokena<br />
students transitioning over<br />
from Lincoln-Way East.<br />
Central is in a more unique<br />
situation in its baseball program,<br />
compared to the other<br />
Lincoln-Way schools. Both<br />
Paul Babcock, of East, and<br />
Jake Zajc, of West, stayed<br />
put, which meant they maintained<br />
the familiarity of<br />
their players and only had<br />
to introduce the transitioning<br />
athletes to their system.<br />
Nowicki was the only coach<br />
in new surroundings.<br />
The only familiarity he<br />
had with his new roster was<br />
the few games North had<br />
competed against them. So,<br />
there was a lot to tackle in<br />
the short summer season,<br />
Nowicki said.<br />
“We weren’t able to implement<br />
new things and a<br />
mentality,” he said. “It was<br />
a lot of getting some guys<br />
opportunities and watching<br />
them play baseball for<br />
a coaching foundation for<br />
next spring. … For me, everybody’s<br />
brand new, so<br />
there was a lot of personality<br />
learning this summer.”<br />
Despite the adversity,<br />
Central finished the season<br />
a game over the .500 mark<br />
with a 7-5 record, which<br />
included wins against both<br />
district rivals. The Knights<br />
kept a large summer roster<br />
to give everyone a chance<br />
to play and see where pieces<br />
fit, and they still maintained<br />
a respectable record.<br />
In the short sample size<br />
with the new club, Nowicki<br />
said he sees the Knights as a<br />
“high-potential” team with<br />
a defensive-minded focus,<br />
especially in the infield. The<br />
strong regard for his deep infield<br />
talent led him to move<br />
Matt Duske to the outfield.<br />
Not only did he excel outside<br />
the diamond, but his bat<br />
came along with it. Duske<br />
had a strong summer, which<br />
included a three-run home<br />
run in the final game against<br />
Plainfield North.<br />
Cam Post was another<br />
name that stuck out to Nowicki<br />
as one of his top performers.<br />
He is a versatile<br />
player that could play first<br />
base, third base, outfield and<br />
catcher, as well as produce<br />
in the heart of the lineup,<br />
like he did last season with a<br />
.421 batting average.<br />
“He was a game changer<br />
for us,” he said. “He plays<br />
the game at a really high<br />
level. He’s just a fierce competitor,<br />
so I think [Post and<br />
Duske] are rock solid seniors<br />
for us and will kind of lead<br />
the way next spring.”<br />
Baseball<br />
Errors, walks eliminate<br />
LW West from regional<br />
James Sanchez<br />
Assistant Editor<br />
Lincoln-Way East coach<br />
Paul Babcock described<br />
East’s July 11 matchup<br />
against Lincoln-Way West<br />
with one word: sloppy.<br />
There were eight errors<br />
along with a handful of<br />
passed balls and wild pitches<br />
between the two teams,<br />
which accounted for eight<br />
of the 20 runs scored in the<br />
game.<br />
“Nobody deserved to win<br />
that game,” Babcock said.<br />
“That was bad. There were<br />
times when it was our offense<br />
against their sloppy defense.<br />
But then we’d give it right<br />
back to them.”<br />
So, it was a matter of who<br />
made the least mistakes and<br />
who made the most of the opportunities<br />
from them. The<br />
Warriors allowed five free<br />
runs through their mistakes,<br />
and the Griffins did the rest to<br />
win 13-7 in New Lenox and<br />
advance to the quarterfinals<br />
of the Illinois High School<br />
Baseball Coaches Association<br />
State Tournament.<br />
It was the Griffins, however,<br />
who dug themselves<br />
into a hole at the beginning<br />
of the game. Throwing errors<br />
in the infield during the first<br />
and second innings allowed<br />
the Warriors to start off with<br />
a 2-0 lead.<br />
West’s Noah Hibler (1 for<br />
2, 3 runs) and Kevin Davis<br />
(1 for 4, 2 runs) were the<br />
beneficiaries with runs scored.<br />
The tables turned in the third<br />
inning, though, with the<br />
Griffins’ largest production of<br />
the game: a five-run frame.<br />
East scored all three of its<br />
fourth-inning runs from errors.<br />
“We let them back in the<br />
ball game with our own mistakes,”<br />
said West coach Jake<br />
Zajc. “They’re a good team<br />
and took advantage of it.”<br />
West made its biggest<br />
surge in the bottom of the<br />
fourth inning with a four-run<br />
frame to make it an 8-6 ball<br />
game. Jim Helfrich’s lone hit<br />
was an RBI single that drove<br />
in Davis, and with two outs,<br />
pinch-hitter Brendan Sturm<br />
hit a two-RBI double down<br />
the right-field line.<br />
However, the two-run deficit<br />
was the closest West was<br />
going to get to tying the ball<br />
game. It mustered only one<br />
more run the rest of the way.<br />
“I think everyone’s a little<br />
disappointed [in] how it<br />
went,” Zajc said. “It was kind<br />
of an ugly game all around,<br />
but there was some good<br />
things too. We were down<br />
8-2 and kept battling back.<br />
We even gave ourselves an<br />
opportunity in the last inning<br />
where we got some guys on.”<br />
The Warriors finish their<br />
summer league at 8-6. It had<br />
big wins, including last-inning<br />
comeback wins against<br />
the 4A state champions Providence<br />
Catholic and Palatine<br />
high schools.<br />
LISTEN UP<br />
“We got some guys in different positions. We gave guys<br />
some opportunities on where they fit in. We had some big<br />
wins, we had some comebacks. It’s a learning experience for<br />
them and for us as we look forward to the regular season.”<br />
