First responders, locals come together for National Night Out
F. Amanda Tugade
Assistant Editor
According to Bonnie Terry
of New Lenox, the only thing
on her five-year-old son’s
mind was to see New Lenox
School Resource Officer Michael
Jurka at National Night
Out. She said Jack had met
Jurka just a couple weeks ago
when he was visiting a few
area schools.
So, on the evening of Aug.
2, Jack searched the crowd
for Jurka, and he eventually
spotted him standing in front
of the New Lenox Police Department.
He walked up to
Jurka with his mother, grandmother
and two siblings
trailing behind. Jurka recognized
Jack, and immediately
flashed him and his family
a big smile and bid them a
warm, welcoming hello.
That, for Jurka, was an
example of what he thought
was so “cool” about National
Night Out.
“It gives the community
and the police department
the chance to get together
in fun circumstances – to
get out and [to] come talk to
the police officers, [to] get to
meet the officers,” he shared,
noting that event also invited
the Village, organizations
and businesses to come together
and showcase their
services and their missions
to residents.
From 6-8 p.m., families
gathered at the Village Commons
on Veterans Parkway.

Hot dogs, popcorn and

all to enjoy. Other attendees
tried their luck and entered

houses and live entertainment
from a local musician,
magician and Kenny the

of the festivities.

Lincoln-Way Democrats host four incumbents seeking re-election
Candidates discuss
platforms, issues at
Jenny’s Southside
Tap in Mokena
Lee Edwards
Freelance Reporter
The Lincoln-Way Democrats
hosted four Illinois
elected officials from the
federal, state and county
level for an evening meetand-greet
on Thursday, Aug.
4 at Jenny’s Southside Tap in
Mokena.
More than 40 attendees
were present for the
gathering which was made
complete with full bar and
complimentary buffet-style
dinner. The elected officials
invited to attend the event
were: U.S. Congressman
Bobby Rush (D-IL); State
Rep. Al Riley (D-38th); Ill.
State Sen. Mike Hastings
(D-19th) and Will County
Executive Larry Walsh.
Lincoln-Way Democrats
is a Democratic organization
serving the towns of
New Lenox, Homer Glen,
Frankfort, Green Garden and
Manhattan.
Lincoln-Way Democrats
Chairman Larry Gilman
helped organize the event
with the hope of energizing
his community to support
Democratic candidates. He
said he intends to take to the
streets to host voter registration
drives, phone events,
door-to-door discussions
and more. He stressed the
evening was mainly about
the candidates sharing their
progress from the campaign
trail.
“What this is really about
is getting people excited
about the election,” Gilman
said. “This is about
getting people interested in
the Democratic movement
in the county. We definitely
want everyone to have the
facts but this is more of an

County Executive Larry Walsh pose for a photo during the
meet-and-greet.
effort-building event to get
people interested. We’ve
got a lot of people who are
attending our events for the
first time.”
Gilman is running for
a seat on the Will County
Board and said for his election,
he is focused on alternative
methods of funding,
how the state’s budget crisis
affected the county health
department and more.
The keynote speaker of
the event, Rush, said he is
no stranger to Will County
and always likes to come
to support different events
and organizations. He cited
his time spent in public service
as the primary difference
between himself and
his competitors. Although
he had not worked with the
Lincoln-Way Democrats before,
the congressman said
he had previously spoken
with members of the organization.
“Will County became part
of my district in the last map,
but I have been present,”
Rush said. “I think I’ve been
more present than any previous
congressman. I guess it
depends on who you talk to.
I’m in most of my constituents’
face too much.”
Rush shared his views
on Republican presidential
nominee Donald Trump,
U.S. Congressman Bobby Rush (right) speaks to attendees Thursday, Aug. 4, during the
Lincoln-Way Democrats event. Photos by Mark Korosa/22nd Century Media
voiced his support of Democratic
presidential candidate
Hillary Clinton and more.
In a candid moment, the
congressman shared how he
recently believed he was racially
profiled. He said that
he felt “violated” by the incident,
which occurred on
Chicago’s South Side but
called for continued cooperation
between the community
and police.
Hastings said he was invited
to attend the event by
Gilman and has observed
and appreciated the organization’s
growth over the last
two years.
“I represent Democrats
and Republicans and I go
to both events; that’s what
good legislators do,” Hastings
said. “Me as a legislator,
I’ve been able to look
on both sides of the aisle to
get things done for the south
suburbs. We represent working
class people and that’s
the main thing.”
Hastings was adamant
about his displeasure with
Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner’s
conduct concerning the
state budget, which in his
opinion has reached “crisis”
level. During his remarks, he
called for voters to mobilize
in 2018 to remove him from
office.
“Right now, we’re in anextreme
crisis that’s been
manufactured by the governor’s
ideological views for
this budget,” Hastings said.
“If it wasn’t for certain legislators
who work hard we
wouldn’t have what we have
now. One thing that’s most
important to me is passing
a balanced budget to ensure
services for those who are
disabled, mentally ill and senior
citizens.”
Riley, who is assistant majority
leader of the Illinois
General Assembly and running
unopposed, attended
the event to answer questions
and to support a different
Democrat function. He
cited the passage of the stopgap
budget as a recent piece
of legislation he is proud of.
“Clearly, the legislature
and the governor don’t see
eye-to-eye but I think we
both came together and understood
that we needed this
budget to fund the very vital
areas of government that
people need,” Riley said.
Walsh said he appreciated
the welcome he received
from the Lincoln-Way Democrats
and shared he was
“very, very proud” of the
organization for generating
Mary Beth Windberg (left to right), of the Mokena Park
District, Mary Louise Knoerzer and State Sen. Mike

enthusiasm for several campaigns
including his own.
“Will County is a huge
county; I try to appear at,
participate and support all
of the Democratic organizations
when they have a function,”
Walsh said.
Walsh said he’s focused
his campaign on what he has
done as full-time county executive
for the past 12 years.
“We made many inroads
to providing services to our
constituents,” Walsh said. “I
believe in bringing government
to the constituents and
not making them come to us
and we have done that.”
Chair of Will County Progressives
Nicki Serbin said it’s
important for elected officials
to recognize their presence at
events can energize and mobilize
their constituency. She
suggested that attendees will
be more likely to participate
in the electoral process.
“I hope [this event] will
inspire other people to take
action,” Serbin said. “It is
much more than your vote,
it’s getting people engaged
as well. The more you have
passion and excitement
when you’re talking about
a candidate, that translates.”

Preserving keepsakes, art and memories
NLCC welcomes frame
business with ribbon
cutting ceremony Aug. 2
F. Amanda Tugade, Assistant Editor
“You name it; we frame it.”
Not only is that Mark Kemens’
motto for his business Treasured
Images Art & Frame, but it is a
promise that he intends to keep for
his customers.
“From baby shoes to baseballs
[and] footballs, we don’t care what
it is,” the 54-year-old New Lenox
resident said. “I had this girl come
in with a drum top from a drummer,
and it was painted and signed,
[so] I built her a shadow box.”
Since February, Treasured
Images Art & Frame – which is
located on 2061 Calistoga Drive
in New Lenox – has been open,
but the New Lenox Chamber of
Commerce officially welcomed
Kemens, also a longtime New
Lenox resident, and his store
with a ribbon cutting ceremony
Tuesday, Aug. 2. That afternoon
included free caricatures from
local artist Michael Hicks, who has
worked with Kemens to promote
art in the community. Raffles for a
custom framed art and gift
certificates rounded out the short
event.
By trade, Kemens was an electrical
and mechanical engineer.
Mark Kemens, owner of Treasured Images Art & Frame in New Lenox,
shows off parts of a frame that he intends to use for a shadow box.
While this new business venture
– which consists of customizing
frames for paintings, photographs
and more – may appear out of his
comfort zone, it does share one
common thread with his former
line of work.
He briefly explained “this has a
lot to do with math,” especially as a
large part of his work requires cutting
and measuring different materials
– from plexiglass to wood – to
make the perfect piece.
To add, he is also no stranger
to creating art and woodworking.
In fact, the counter and most
of the shelves inside his store and
workroom are all made by Kemens
himself.
“Plus, I [am] semi-retired,” he
said of starting Treasured Images
Art & Frame. “So, I figured I need
a hobby.”
Roughly six months in,
Kemens shared he is still “getting
established” and building a
list of clients “because nobody
knows I’m here.” That is why
Kemens works on creating a shadow box for a Chicago Bears football
jersey. Photos by F. Amanda Tugade/22nd Century Media
his presence at Proud American
Days, which took place during the
last weekend of July, and at other
shows is instrumental to spreading
the word about his store and his
service.
So far, he has looked to occasions
like weddings, graduations,
school and sporting events and holidays
to help others preserve their
most cherished memories.
Moreover, Kemens also looks
to be more involved in the community
by hosting a few art classes
at the store for area residents with
Hicks as the instructor.
For now, Kemens sees Treasured
Images Art & Frame as a work in
progress, and like most small business
owners, his priority is to let
others know that he is there to fulfill
customers’ needs.
“I’m looking for a lot of business,
actually,” he said, noting he
wants others to turn to his business
because “they can go [here] to get
good service, [and] I want to have
a good reputation.”

Dombrowski, National Night Out
served as a platform for them to
help spread the word about their
groups’ work and messages. While
Dombrowski helped pass out
pamphlets and buttons for the Heroin
Epidemic Relief Organization,
Buhle and Buddy, a trained therapy
dog, talked with guests about the
Community Emergency Response
Team.
The two noted their primary goal
is to educate and create awareness
about different types of issues and
situations from drugs to natural
disasters.
“We’ll come out to different places
and [teach] classes,” Buhle said
of CERT. “If there is ever a disaster
like a train derailment or if a tornado
comes through New Lenox, we’re
trained to search for victims, help
with first aid, get emergency medicine
– you know things like that.”
As for Buddy, Buhle said “he’s
the ambassador,” and his job is to
remind pet owners should be prepared
with food and water for their
own pets when emergencies and
dangers do arise.
Dombrowski, too, spewed facts
to those who visited her table.
Prayer cards of Matthew Kirk, organization
founder Brian’s son,
were also distributed and put a face
to HERO’s cause. “Right now, New
Lenox is the epicenter of heroin
use in Will County,” she said. “In
2012, Will County had 53 overdose
deaths, and this year, we’re on pace
to have more than 100 deaths.”
“I hope we can get the word out,
and I hope we can help educate
people,” Dombrowski continued,
“because too many people have
their head in the sand, and [say]
‘Not my kid.’”
Buhle, Dombrowski and Jurka
said the most important aspect of
National Night Out is that it shows
New Lenox’s unity, especially
when it comes to facing crises.
“Being a police officer is such
a great job,” Jurka reflected of his
position. “Giving back to the community,
helping people and then
realizing that all these people show
up, it shows that our department really
does matter to the community.
This is such a great town that it’s
humbling to work for. It really is.
It’s so overwhelming; it’s great.”

Lenox, comes out of a bouncy

items, while several vendors
provided free cancer prevention
seminars, health screenings,
and dental exams and
cleanings.
Cheney said 250 families
attended the fair, and
ShareFest New Lenox gave
away 33 pallets of food and
1,500 books.
Orland Park Dental Services
served roughly 40
children in three hours, according
to dentist Dr. Mary
Cox. ChiroOne — based in
Mokena, New Lenox and
Orland Hills — provided
spinal screenings.
Organizations such as
the Fairmont Community
Partnership Group, Catholic
Charities, Riverside
Healthcare, the Northern
Illinois Food Bank, VNA
Health Care, THG Financial,
Cornerstone Services and
Helpers of Mother Earth
also contributed to the fair’s
success.
“We’re kind of duplicating
what we do in New Lenox
and bringing it out through
Will County,” Cheney said.
“This is just the next right
step. It’s just loving our
neighbor, that’s all — helping
people out.”
The Health and Family
Safety Fair was held
in conjunction with home
renovations that are being
spearheaded by Will County
Community Development
Division as part of the Fairmont
Community Empowerment
Project. Several weeks
earlier, roughly 150 people
also attended a Job and Resource
Fair at Shiloh Baptist
Church in Fairmont.
Cheney said the idea is
simply to meet the needs of
the people who most need
assistance, which he sees as
“the mission the Lord gave
me to do.”
“There are certain areas in
Will County we know have
great need, and [Will County
Community Development
Division] asked us to come
alongside and help them
meet those needs,’ Cheney
said. “And I said, ‘Well, I
love doing service projects,
but what if we brought some
jobs up here, and what if we
brought some free health
care, and what if we bought
some free books and clothes
and food. Just to let people
know we have faith, but that
we love to put that faith into
action. This is the action. I
don’t want to tell somebody.
I want to show somebody.”
As an unicorporated community
served by Will County
and Lockport Township,
Fairmont has been overlooked
for years, said Ron
Pullman, director of Will
County Community Development.
The community is
plagued by flooding, infrastructure
problems and illegal
dumping, he added.
“The idea and the hope is
that we continue to show a
presence in the community;
this community has been
underserved for so many
years,” Pullman said. “What
we’re trying to do is open
the tap and have everybody
who wants to help come in
and help.
“It’s tough, it really is,
but we are slowly appealing
to the outer communities
and they’re understanding
a need, and we’re tapping
into a volunteer network.
You will be surprised how
many people, how many
church groups, how many
companies want to give,
and they don’t necessarily
care where they give, they
just say ‘Who needs help?’,
and we say, ‘Well, here in
Fairmont.’ So there is some
hope.”
The Fairmont Community
Partnership Group is
a critical part of that plan.
The group formed as a response
to a plan to construct
a highway through
Fairmont, but since has expanded
its focus to include
community cleanups and
getting people involved in
the community.
During the fair, DeLinda
Herod, the group’s acting
president, signed people up
to adopt-a-street to continue
keeping the community
clean. She said the response
was so overwhelming that
she did not bring enough
paper.
“We’re looking for a way
to get people interested in
helping,” Pullman said. “If
we can find a formula for
that I think we’ll be better
off and can sustain it. It’s
a fun thing, it really is. We
don’t have a plan, all we
know is we’re going to be
working forward. The folks
who live here have to be patient.
When they see something
coming they get excited;
we just have to tell them
slow but sure. But it’s not
just the county, it’s not just
ShareFest, it’s everybody.”
VFW announces kickoff of $30,000 scholarship competition
Submitted by the Veterans
of Foreign Wars
State Commander W.
Dave Stout of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars Department
of Illinois announced
the kickoff of this year’s
VFW’s Voice of Democracy
Scholarship competition.
Local high school students
have the opportunity to
compete for thousands of
dollars in scholarships and a
trip to Washington, D.C.
Students must write
and record a three-to-five
minute essay on the selected
theme using an audio CD
or flash drive and present
their recording, typed
essay and completed entry
form to their local VFW
Post by Nov. 1. The 2016-
17 theme selected is “My
Responsibility to America”.
Students begin by
competing at the local Post
level with an entry deadline
of Nov. 1. Post winners
compete at the district level
with the winner advancing
to the state competition. All
speeches are judged based
on the sound recording
submitted.
All state first-place winners
receive a four day trip
to Washington, D.C. and
the chance to compete for
their share of more than
$150,000 in scholarships.
The national first-place
winner receives a $30,000
college scholarship.
The National Association
of Broadcasters started
the Voice of Democracy
Scholarship program in
1947. The VFW became
a national sponsor in the
late 1950s and assumed
sole responsibility for
the program in 1961. The
competition was created
to provide students grades
9-12 the opportunity to
express themselves in
regard to democratic ideas
and principles. Around
40,000 students participate
in the competition each year
and VFW awards more than
$2 million in scholarships
every year.
Interested students and
teachers should contact the
Voice of Democracy Chairman
at their local VFW Post
or contact State VFW Headquarters

were handed off to children during the
three-hour event.
“I think it’s awesome,” said A.J. Cousins,
store manager of TCC New Lenox. “Instead
of taking money from the customers like
many businesses do, we’re using that to use
to give back to the community we do business
in.”
The store had 30 leftover backpacks,
which were donated to local schools. Each
backpack was filled with pencils, paper, a
pencil box, folders, glue and other supplies.
Cousins said he spent about $100 on his
six-year-old daughter’s school supplies this
year, so he knows the importance of this effort.This
is his third year as part of the backpack
giveaways.
“Every year, it’s awesome to see how genuine
and appreciative the parents are,” he said.
I saw several parents that said they come here
every year the last few years to get the backpacks
consistently. Parents are excited because
school supplies are so expensive.”
This is one of several philanthropy efforts
TCC New Lenox does throughout the year.
In February, they plan on also buying school
supplies for teachers, as well, since they buy
them out of pocket.

Ending summer reading in a magical way
Library wraps up summer
reading program with
Hogwarts Wizard Ball
James Sanchez, Editor
The New Lenox Public
Library usually hires entertainment
throughout its summer reading unit.
But on July 30, NLPL Program Coordinator
Jen Thompson, staff and
volunteers help put together possibly
the biggest event to cap off the
two-month summer program.
The library was festive with children
and teens dressed in Harry Potter-themed
attire for its Hogwarts
Wizard Ball. However, there was a
different aura compared to the last
time the library hosted a Harry Potter
party six years ago.
With the anticipation of the series’
new book “Harry Potter and
the Cursed Child” being released
the following day, the enthusiasm of
nearly 40 children at the party was
at a different level.
“We put a lot of time into it, and
the kids just loved it,” Thompson
said. “This is like an escape for
them that they could go and pretend
that they’re actually in Hogwarts.”
During the free event, children
got the full Hogwarts experience
as soon as they got in, decorating
wands to carry around while they
were taken from class to class for
different activities. They made Pygmy
Puffs in Transfiguration Class,
fortune tellers in Divination Class
and planted “magic” beans in Herbology
Class, to name a few.
All the children were divided up
into four different houses – Gryffindor,
Ravenclaw, Slytherin and
Hufflepuff. Mostly all the children
wanted to emulate Harry Potter and
his friends in Gryffindor. Thompson
said no one wanted to be in Slytherin,
which is where antagonist
Voldemort belonged in.
“Everybody wanted to be in Gryffindor,
but some of them had to be
in Slytherin, so they were not happy
with me,” she said with a laugh.
It was a strong finish to what was
one of the most successful summer
reading programs 12 years working
at the New Lenox Library. A credit
to that could be because the library,
for the first time, shifted away from
the Illinois Library Association’s

EDITOR’S NOTE: The New
Lenox Patriot’s Police Reports
are compiled from official
reports found online on the
New Lenox Police Department’s
website or releases
issued by the department and

until proven guilty in a court

Submitted by Will County
In support of its wellness
program, Will County employees
recently celebrated
a kickoff for the Get Fit on
Route 66.
The program is designed
to increase activity for
county employees with a
goal of walking the distance
of historic Route 66,
which is 2,451 miles.
For the past two years,
the county has sponsored
a wellness program which
includes incentives and
informative seminars
focused on healthy living
practices. The ultimate goal
is to improve the health and
quality of life for county
employees and reduce
health insurance costs.
The walking challenge
is county-wide event and
will include a number of
teams. Each team member
will contribute to walking
the distance of Route 66.
Teams that reach this goal
will receive prizes and other
incentives.
Topics of the monthly
wellness programs include
nutrition, reducing stress,
elder care, and financial
tips. These seminars are focused
on the whole health
of the employees. According
to Bruce Tidwell, director
of human resources, 95
percent of county employees
participate in the wellness
seminars.

From Page 10
theme, which for this year
was “Read for the Win!”
Instead, NLPL did “The
Great Outdoors: Get Out!
Get Wild!” Outside some the
same crowd favorites, like
Matt Wilhelm’s BMX stunt
show and various puppet
shows, the library scheduled
numerous nature-themed activities,
including a showcase
of live birds of prey and a
presentation from Science
Alliance of various insects.
“Mostly every library does
[the statewide theme], and I
know there’s people that go library
hopping, so doing something
different that they’re not
going to see at every library
was one motivation to change
things up,” Thompson said.
Thompson thought outside
the box for criteria to complete
the reading program.
Tasks, including reading in
a tent, going on a scavenger
hunt, nature walk and visiting
a museum were all a part of
the curriculum.
“It wasn’t just reading a
book,” Thompson said. “It
was more interactive than it
was in the past.”
The success of this year’s
program may elicit Thompson
to continue deviating
away from the statewide
theme, she said. With increased
participation in the
library’s science and LEGO
club, Thompson may want
to do something related to
STEM education where children
will get an informative
and interactive experience,
like they had this summer.
“We’re just going to go
with what works best with
the community, but it’s nice
to step out of the usual and
do something different,”
she said.
Don't let your
advertising cool down
this summer.

Husband and wife team Phil & Amy
and their daughter Lucie are fresh off
a 3 day schedule of musical entertainment
at Starved Rock Lodge. They
performed their Les Miserables/Phantom
of the Opera selections to a full
Lodge of guests receiving standing
ovations and bravos. Featured in
Starved Rock’s Musical Tribute series
they kicked off August in celebrating
the Anniversary of their “Opening
Night” album which continues to sell
at their show venues and as digital
downloads on the web.
The duet couple performs in Chicagoland
and throughout the Midwest and
have been spotlighted in broadcasts
of the National Anthem for such notables
as the Chicago Cubs, White Sox,
Chicago Fire and The Air Force Academy.
Last weekend they were asked
back to sing the anthem again for the
Pro Bowlers Tour PBA50 in Arlington
Heights. Phil & Amy have two sons,
Pete who bowls as a senior for St. Francis
University and just earned his first
Pro Bowlers Tour check in Lockport in
June. Not to be left out their 8 year old
son Luke is already capturing attention
on the lanes rolling a 257 game in his
league at Centennial Lanes and wining
the Pro-Am Trophy at Beverly Lanes
last weekend. Daughter Lucie sings
with mom and dad at shows, assists
them with their St. Christopher Travelers
Tours and finds time to be in the
recording studio working on her music
and getting set to venture off to Lindenwood
University where she will be
studying Music Business, journalism
and continuing her vocal studies.
Phil & Amy have been hosting
motorcoach travel trips for over 20
years with the St. Christopher Travelers.
Their theme is “Like Family we visit
Authentic America.” The travelers are
back from2016 trips to Cape Cod,
Mackinac Island and Route 66 to mention
a few. Upcoming trips with Phil &
Amy include a 2017, 6 day trip to Nashville,
TN featuring a 2 night stay at the
Gaylord Opryland Resort Atrium, a visit
to Chattanooga, the Smoky Mountains
and Dollywood as well. This fall they
have another 1 day Rt 66 trip planned
for Thursday, October 6th with their
Rt 66 historian, and later in October a
3 day visit to Frankenmuth, MI for a
great Bavarian get-a-way that features
the colors of Autumn, Halloween and
the World’s Largest Christmas Store –
Bronner’s. Just about every June the
travelers visit one of their favorite
treasure’s – Mackinac Island, The
Mackinac Bridge, bikes, horses &
carriages, famous fudge and the historic
Grand Hotel. Looking ahead to 2018
is a greatly anticipated 9 day trip to
Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, Mt.
Rushmore and more. For more information
or to get on their mailing list,

Standout Student
Sponsored by Marquette Bank
Michael Markasovic, Providence
Catholic graduate
Michael Markosovic was picked as this week’s
Standout Student because of his academic performance.
What is one essential you must have when
studying and why?
One essential that I most definitely need
while studying is quiet because like most
people, I can get distracted pretty easily, so I
try to avoid it.
What do you like to do when not in school or
studying?
I prefer to be with my brothers or friends
in my free time.
What is your dream job and why?
If I could, I would become a doctor so I
can have the opportunity to make an impact
on people’s lives first-hand when assisting
them with injuries, illnesses and overall
medical issues.
What is one thing people don’t know about
you?
One thing people don’t know about me is
that I consider myself a pretty big gamer –
more so in the past but still in the present, I
prefer role-playing games because they are
fun and entertaining.
Whom do you look up to and why?
One person that I look up to everyday is
my mom, Kimmie, because although she is
a mother of four boys that are each twice the
size of her, she still manages to be the strongest
woman I know and always keeps us in
line. P.S. If you’re reading this, I love you
momma.
Who is your favorite teacher and why?
I have a lot of favorite teachers, but it
would be Ms. Hart, one of our math teachers.
She is my favorite not only because
she’s an excellent teacher, but she’s also a
very down-to- earth and kind–hearted person,
as well.
Photo submitted
What is your favorite class and why?
My favorite class has always been English
because I enjoy learning about the plethora
of writing styles, the famous authors, and
their literature as well.
What is one thing that stands out about
your school?
One thing that definitely stands out about
Providence is the “behind the scenes” acts
of love and trust that our school shares with
each other, including all of our faculty,
staff, and students. Truth, unity and love
all summarize those “behind the scenes”
moments.
If you could change one thing about school,
what would it be?
If I had to change one thing about our
school, it would easily be the air-conditioning
situation that tends to be forgotten
about until those few hot months come
around.
What is your best memory from school?
My best memory is divided between two
moments. The first is being able to win a
state championship with the best groups of
guys out there and attending my first Kairos
retreat, which both took place my junior
year.

FROM THE TINLEY JUNCTION
Chamber’s Bag Crawl set to return
to Oak Park Avenue
There are two things Dana Lahart
of the Tinley Park Chamber
of Commerce can guarantee for
those participating in the chamber’s
sixth annual Bag Crawl Aug.
14: fun and perfect weather.
OK, the last one may be a bit out
of Lahart’s control, but if the previous
five are any indication, then
attendees need not worry about
carrying an umbrella or rain coat.
“It’s been absolutely perfect
weather in years past,” Lahart
said.
With a picturesque August day
now all but set in stone, all that
is left is for bean bag aficionados
and those just interested in spending
a Sunday with friends and
neighbors to participate.
Those who would like to test
their luck in the Bag Crawl can
register prior to noon on the day
of the event at Ed & Joe’s, 17332
Oak Park Ave. in Tinley Park. The
cost is $30, and that includes entrance
into the tournament, food or
drink at the seven “crawl” stops,
and an event T-shirt. All competitors
throw four bean bags at each
of the seven locations, and both
the male and female who records
the most points after all 28 tosses
will receive $100, Lahart said.
Now more than halfway to celebrating
its 10th anniversary, the
Bag Crawl has succeeded in its
mission, Lahart said.
“The goal was really to create a
summer event and bring people to
Oak Park Avenue, and it has done
that,” Lahart said. “It’s just become
a great community event.”

FROM THE FRANKFORT STATION
Night Out Against Crime features
scavenger hunt, other activities
Frankfort Police Department
officers and area residents came
out to Breidert Green on Aug. 2
for the department’s ninth annual
Night Out Against Crime.
The evening featured attractions
such as bounce houses, Toucha-Truck
and — for the first
time in the event’s history — a
competition with police officers
that started with a scavenger
hunt. Officers from various law
enforcement agencies attended
the Night Out, including the Will
County Sheriff Special Operations
Group, the FBI, the Secretary
of State Police and the Chicago
Police Department.
Frankfort Police Chief John
Burica also addressed the crowd
during the event and asked for a
moment of silence to honor police
officers who have been killed this
year. Since Aug. 5, 70 officers in
the United States have been killed
in the line of duty, according to
the Officer Down Memorial Page
website.
Burica said it was great to see
the community support at the
event, adding that it is important
for police departments and communities
to work together.
“You can’t be working against
each other,” Burica said during
a phone interview following the
event. “If you have the trust of the
community, it makes everything
work a lot better.”

FROM THE LOCKPORT LEGEND
Taft School student races toward
success in STEM
Emma Oster has spent
the past two weeks
transforming a refrigerator into a
solar-powered race car.
And in just a few days, on
Saturday, Aug. 13, the 13-yearold
Lockport resident is to test the
contraption by racing the vehicle
in the east parking lot of The Field
Museum of Chicago.
Oster is one of 30 girls
participating in the annual Icebox
Derby STEM competition.
Sponsored by ComEd, the
competition was established
in 2014 to promote science,
technology, engineering and math
among girls, according to the
derby’s website.
“I ended up being one
of the youngest, which is
still cool,” Oster said. “It’s
more exciting knowing I can keep
up with the high-schoolers.”
Oster, a Taft School student,
decided to apply for the Icebox
Derby after her mother received
an email about the competition
from her Girl Scout troop, she
said. Math and science-related
classes are her favorite, and she
has started to consider becoming
a chemical engineer in the future,
she said.
“I like that you get to design
your own kinds of things, and you
get to put it together yourself,”
Oster said.
The participants are divided
into six teams of five girls, who
take part in four three-hour building
sessions prior to the race. The
teams are given manuals with
step-by-step instructions and are
guided by mentors who have experience
in the industry.
“I really enjoyed starting to put
everything together,” she said.

FROM THE HOMER HORIZON
Night Out for Safety lets
residents learn about fire
protection
The Homer Township Fire
Protection District discussed fire
safety in an informative, sometimes
visual display at its inaugural
Night Out for Safety event Aug.
2 outside Homer Township
Fire Protection District’s Station
1.
HTFPD leadership took
advantage of a pleasant
summer evening to teach
children and adults about fire
preparedness, providing a fair
at which vendors from Homer
Township, Westcom Dispatch
Center, Mothers Against Drunk
Driving and more offered safety
information and complimentary
giveaways. Additionally,
HTFPD demonstrated how they
extract individuals from vehicles
and how its sprinkler system
operates.
HTFPD Fire Chief Bob
Tutko said he wanted to add an
additional program to this year’s
calendar leading up to Fire Week
in October. A few fire safety
basics he stressed at Night Out
for Safety included, in the event
of a fire, everyone should have an
exit plan to get out of their homes;
making sure smoke detectors are
fully operational; and suggesting
families install an in-home
sprinkler system.
“It’s about getting the safety
information out to the people,”
Tutko said. “We’ve got some
safety demonstrations we want to
do and show them what we have
to do. The big thing is getting out
and talking to the people about
safety.”

FROM THE ORLAND PARK PRAIRIE
Sepsis awareness 5K returns to
Orland Park in third year
The morning of Saturday, July
30, the third annual Illinois Sepsis
Challenge 5K Fun Run and
Walk took place at Centennial
Park.
The purpose of the event was
to raise awareness about sepsis,
as well as to raise funds to
better protect patients from the
disease.
Sepsis is an overwhelming and
life-threatening response to infection,
which can lead to tissue damage,
organ failure and death. It is
a medical emergency that requires
early detection and treatment for
survival. Although there reportedly
are 1.6 million cases in the
United States per year, fewer than
half of Americans have heard of
sepsis.
The disease is often devastating.
Liz and Tony Galbo of Monticello
lost their 5-year old daughter Gabby
to sepsis in May 2012. Gabby
received three different diagnoses
from doctors and had a 106-degree
fever for five days. Without proper
diagnosis and treatment, the family
was unable to save Gabby. Her
family continues to honor her by
telling her story in hopes of saving
future lives.
The Galbos were honorary
chairpersons at the event, which
included a 5K run and a silent
auction. All money raised from
the event was for Sepsis Alliance
— the leading nonprofit organization
in the U.S. promoting awareness
of sepsis. Through the help of
event organizer Laura Messineo,
more than $35,000 was raised.

FROM THE MOKENA MESSENGER
LW East alumna goes from player
to coach at Syracuse University
A lot of athletes dream of one
day being able to pass down their
knowledge to younger athletes
so they can improve their performances.
Lincoln-Way East graduate
Alisa Goler has plenty to teach her
team at Syracuse University, as
she has been playing softball from
an early age.
“I have [enjoyed it so far],” Goler
said. “I have a great boss I work
for, and it’s an excellent school.
We’re in a pretty prestigious conference.
… I wish I was closer to
family, but it’s doable.”
Goler started her journey with
softball while attending Hickory
Creek Middle School. She enjoyed
softball so much that she started
a petition to create a competitive
softball team. She was successful
in her quest.
From then on, Goler spent
years improving her talents and
building a strong resume as a
four-year starter at East and at the
University of Georgia. In 2011,
she was drafted by the Chicago
Bandits and played with them
until 2015, when she moved to the
Pennsylvania Rebellion team as a
free agent.
In that same year, Goler accepted
her new position at Syracuse.
Since taking the position, Syracuse
showed great improvement
in terms of its softball team.
“Our head coach is new, [too],
so we’re all new,” Goler said. “I
think it was just bringing in new
people and working as a unit to the
program, [which helped the team
improve].”

After spending a year
working as an assistant
for The Frankfort
Station, The Mokena
Messenger and The New
Lenox Patriot, I’m proud to
say that I am now the editor
for The Patriot. It will be
a tough act to follow in the
footsteps of previous editor
Meredith Dobes, who I had
the pleasure to work under.
She was one of the hardest
workers and nicest people
I’ve ever been around. In
a business where it is easy
to get flustered and overwhelmed,
Meredith seemed
to do everything without
a complaint. She’s always
had a strong attitude in my
year working for her, and I
want to pattern myself after
that.
Meredith allowed me to
write stories that I wanted
to write throughout my time
as an assistant, which I’ll
forever be thankful for. With
that, most of my greatest
memories I’ve had working
at 22nd Century Media
came from New Lenox. I
witnessed both of Lincoln-
Way West’s dramatic runs
to the state championship
game in both basketball and
football. I experienced the
ride the Knights’ basketball
team went on, finishing with
its best record in school history
since the district split.
I covered Brianne Bolden
and Grace Curran – two
freshmen on Lincoln-Way
Central’s girls golf team –
just dominate the SouthWest
Suburban Conference this
past fall and during regionals.
Those are just a few that
stick out. The sports scene
out in New Lenox helped
make it a no-brainer for
me to pursue the town’s
editor job. Also, with the
transitioning students from
Mokena to Central and
Manhattan to West, it’s going
to be interesting to see
how these talented programs
will flourish.
Although I love covering
games, there’s way more
to New Lenox than just
sports. And now that I can
focus strictly on one town,
instead of three, I plan to
be out as much as I can for
everything this town has to
offer. And if I’m not there,
Lincoln-Way’s new assistant
F. Amanda Tugade will be
out there covering the rest.
A previous assistant for
The Orland Park Prairie
and The Tinley Junction, F.
Amanda will bring along a
creative writing style to The
Patriot that will be undoubtedly
be enjoyed in New
Lenox, as well as the two
other towns she will work
for.
It’ll be a challenging
step taking over from
someone like Meredith,
but I’m certainly up for it.
And the transition will be
easier for me, considering
I’m working in a town I’ve
already been accustomed
to, alongside a strong assistant
and support from
the other Lincoln-Way
editors Rebecca Susmarski
(Frankfort) and Amanda
Jarzynski (Mokena). I look
forward to being more
involved in the community
and for more great things
to come in New Lenox. For

Looking for a place to land
The Rev. Dave Hedlin
Peace Lutheran Church
Sometimes when a
plane is scheduled
to land and a
summertime storm arrives
at the same time, the
plane is forced to circle,
or even divert to another
airport. The plane has to
land eventually or it will
run out of fuel, but in the
near term, the conditions
are dangerous enough to
warrant a Plan B. If the
pilot only can fathom the
one runway at the original
airport, a bad decision
might be made.

everyone’s life. We may
have a specific destination
in mind; a plan for how life
is supposed to go. When
the storms come – and they
almost always do come –
there can be a narrowing
of our vision. Our worries
and our fears can blind us
to options and we make
mistakes based on trying to
force an outcome.
At times like that, we are
invited to “look up/around/
beyond.” Just as those of
us in the Midwest can see
storms approaching, we
can also see the western
sky starting to brighten.
The storms do not last
forever. The challenges
and difficulties we are
experiencing are not the
last word. That is one of
the great benefits of relying
on God. To place our lives
in a context is to see how
God has been at work in
people’s lives over and
over again to help them
get through and to see
options for how to move

has inspiring words, like
“though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of
death... you are with me.”
And what was said “back
then” is being repeated in
people’s lives over and
over again today.
We live in a troubled
age, with shootings and
fear-filling words being
used daily. Individuals feel
powerless and hopeless
and sometimes react with
blindness to their options;
then mistakes become
compounded. We have
a message from God,
however, that would invite
people to look up, around
and beyond. From there we
can see options and a Godpresent
landing place.

Friends, co-workers,
mayor in attendance
at Zagota’s party
Michael Ivey, Editorial Intern
There is a certain “happy”
vibe between the workers
and customers one can
feel that has nothing to
do with the happy meals
served there at McDonald’s
at 600 West Maple St. in
New Lenox.
Its lobby is squeaky
clean, and the chairs are arranged
in a certain order.
One might also be welcomed
to the restaurant by
a smiling employee holding
a broom.
That employee’s name is
Kenny Zagota, and for the
past three decades, Zagota
has been working at the
same McDonald’s restaurant.
July 23 marked Zagota’s
30th anniversary.
Rhonda Tempinski, who
has served as Zagota’s supervisor
since his first day
on the job, only uses one
word to describe Kenny at
his job.

Kenny Zagota celebrated his 30th year working at McDonald’s with a party hosted by coworkers
on July 22. Michael Ivey/22nd Century Media
“Happy,” Tempinski said
with a smile. “Always happy.”
Tempinski said Zagota
has grown a lot as an employee
since he began
working at the restaurant
back in 1986. She said in
the beginning he was very
shy, but now he greets customers
in a warm manner.
“He’s just proud to be
here, and we’re proud to
have him,” she said.
Tempinski points to the
clean lobby as a tangible
mark Zagota has made on
his McDonald’s. But beyond
his strong work ethic,
Zagota’s personality resonates
with his fellow employees.
“This is Kenny’s lobby
that we’re sitting in right
now,” Tempinski said.
“Kenny decides where the
chairs go, what gets done
when and his hospitality is
over the top.
“We love Kenny. He’s
one of us. He’s more family
than he is an employee
to us.”
Beyond stocking the
drink station and cleaning
the lobby, Zagota does
his best to interact with
younger children and make
the customers leave with a
smile.
“He cleans and greets our
guests when they’re coming
into or out of the restaurant,”
Tempinski said. “He
talks with the little kids,
who he absolutely loves.
He also does refills, but
mainly he cleans.”
The 52-year-old Zagota
said the best part about
working at McDonald’s is
working with his co-workers
as well as interacting
with the customers.
“I like the staff,” Zagota
said. “I also like the people.”
The day before the anniversary,
employees at
the McDonald’s threw Zagota
a party. A number of
Zagota’s family members
attended the party. Also in
attendance was New Lenox
Mayor Tim Baldermann,
who gave Zagota a congratulatory
certificate. Zagota
also received a special hat
from McDonald’s that said
“30 Years” on it.
“It was a good day,” Zagota
said.

Making connections on the course
New Lenox Chamber
of Commerce sells
out annual outing
James Sanchez, Editor
Former New Lenox
Chamber of Commerce
president Jim Wirt recalled
the one time his foursome
won the scramble at the
chamber’s annual golf outing
about 15 years ago.
One member of the winning
team was his daughter,
Candace, who he described
as a great putter and shortgame
specialist. He said
teammate Pat Flynn drove
the ball more than 300
yards, providing a complement
to Candace’s expertise
around the green, which
is essential to success in
scramble formats.
But when it came to what
Wirt and another former
New Lenox Chamber president
Dean Hill brought to
the team, he was not eager
to elaborate.
“Nothing,” he said about
their contributions with a
laugh. “We just hit the ball.
We might have done something
but not very much.”
Now, at 84 years old,
Wirt said the competitiveness
is over and he uses
the NLCC’s annual festivities
as a way to get together
with old friends and family,
including his grandson
Will, with whom he played
alongside on Friday, Aug. 5,
at this year’s outing.
About 144 golfers participated
at the sold-out event
held at Sanctuary Golf
Course. The fee included
lunch, drinks and various
contests throughout the
round. It concluded with an
awards dinner where raffle
prizes including baseball
tickets, sets of golf clubs
Kathy Miller, who served her last year as the event
chairperson on Friday, Aug. 5, speaks to about 144 golfers
at the event.
and gift cards were given
away.
It was the first time in
nearly 10 years that the
outing sold out, said event
chairperson Kathy Miller,
and it could not have come
at a better time for her, as
she is to step down after
running the event for 15
straight years.
“It’s a great way to leave,”
she said. “I’ve been enjoying
doing it, but I’m a big
believer in term limits – it is
time to move on.”
Miller remembered feeling
overwhelmed and in
a bind back in 2001 when
she first took over the golf
festivities. The event was
scheduled well in advance
on Sept. 12, which turned
out to be the day after the
9/11 attacks.
The decision was made
to not reschedule the event,
and it turned out to be one
of the more successful outings,
she said. Since then,
she said she has the event
down to a science.
“I feel like it’s my baby,
so it’s hard to give it up,
Anthony Michals putts the ball on the practice green Friday, Aug. 5, during the New Lenox
Chamber of Commerce’s annual golf outing. Photos by James Sanchez/22nd Century Media
Will Wirt, of Orland Park, hits balls on the practice range before his round at Sanctuary
Golf Course.
but just like when your kids
grow up, you got to move
them along,” Miller said.
All revenue generated
will go directly back into
the Chamber to fund its
programs, which include
networking opportunities,
various events throughout
the year and scholarships
for Lincoln-Way Community
High School District 210
students. The event nearly
funds the Chamber’s entire
year, said Chamber CEO
Emily Johnson.
“This is a really special
event,” she said. “It draws
out such a broad range
of our members. People
we don’t see sometimes
throughout the year, we’ll
see here. They make a point
to put this on their schedule.”
Aside from raising money
for the chamber, the main
goal of the event is for all
guests to have an enjoyable
time. The golfers are used
to seeing each other in their
professional element during
the chamber’s Business on
the Move Luncheons, Business
After Hours gatherings
and other functions. For
Johnson, it is about seeing
everyone enjoy the day outside
of the office.
“It’s kind of exciting to
see everyone in a relaxed
environment and having a
good time, enjoying each
other’s company and making
new connections,”
Johnson said.

The Dish
Guardi’s celebrates a quarter-century in Tinley Park
Michael Gilbert
Contributing Editor
Today he is known as
“Big Al, the Pizza Man,”
but 25 years ago Al Guardi
was a rookie restaurant
owner uncertain about the
future.
“Never in my wildest
dreams did I think I’d be
where I am today,” Guardi
said Thursday, Aug. 4, inside
his Tinley Park pizzeria,
aptly named Guardi’s.
“But I love my job, and I
wouldn’t want to do anything
else.”
Guardi’s is the first and,
to date, only pizzeria Al has
owned, but he was not a complete
stranger to the restaurant
business when he opened
in 1991 in the Parkside Plaza.
Working as a pizza maker at
a Hawaiian restaurant called
the Redline some 30-plus
years ago gave him a taste
of the business, but most of
his knowledge came from his
late wife, Clare, whose family
has a long history with
restaurants, including owning
Little Frank’s Pizzeria in
Burbank.
“My wife used to work
at Little Frank’s, but then
when we moved to Tinley
Park she didn’t want to
make the daily commute
to Burbank, so that’s how
Guardi’s was born,” Al said.
Following many of same
recipes as Little Frank’s,
along with the Burbank
restaurant’s commitment to
fresh ingredients and quality
products, Guardi’s has
enjoyed a long and successful
run.
“If you’re from Tinley
Park, you know about Guardi’s
Pizza,” Al said. “We
have a great customer base
who has been extremely
loyal to us. I’m very appreciative

crust pizza, which Al described
as the restaurant’s
“calling card.” The most
popular of those thin crust
pies is the Tinley Park Special
(starting at $14), which
features sausage, roast beef,
pepperoni and jalapeño.
“We go through about 100
a week,” Al said. “I think
what makes it so popular is
that it’s a meat lover’s dream,
with the sausage, roast beef
and pepperoni, and then you
add the heat with the jalapeño.
It’s something different
than what you’d normally
find elsewhere.”
Al noted the restaurant
“doesn’t skimp” on its toppings.
“We don’t weigh or measure
our toppings,” Al said.
“We just go by the eye test,
and that can often lead to an
overflow of toppings. We
don’t short change our customers.”
If one is looking for a
bit of heat but without all
the meat, the Big Al’s Special
(starting at $14) is the
way to go. The thin crust
pizza comes with sausage,
mushroom, onion and hot
crushed pepper.
“Our sauce and dough are
all made on the premises,
and we only use fresh vegetables
and cheese,” Al said.
“I think it really makes for
a delicious pizza.” While

built a 25-year tradition. photos by Michael Gilbert/22nd Century Media
pizza, there are plenty of
sandwich options available
for those looking to go that
route. The most ordered is
the chicken Parmesan ($10
for the sandwich, fries and
drink). The chicken is lightly-breaded
and then smothered
in red meat sauce and
mozzarella cheese, served
on toasted French bread.
“We use all white meat
for our chicken and scoop
the sauce all over,” Al said.
“It’s a very popular sandwich.”
Other sandwich options
include the Guardi’s Grinder
($7), which features spicy
meatballs with mozzarella
cheese and jalapeño, and
the classic meatball ($6).
Guardi’s also offers a
gluten-free pizza ($15) and
several salads and pizza
bread options.
Al said little has changed
at Guardi’s in the past 25
years, other than the “customer
base and technology.”
Speaking of that technology,
Guardi’s recently
unveiled a mobile app that
allows customers to quickly

Park eatery.
search the menu and begin
collecting reward points
that can lead to a free pizza.
The app is available by
searching “Guardi’s Pizza”
on the Apple App Store or
Google Play.
Guardi’s recently added
Monday hours and is now
open seven days a week.
“We realized there are a
lot of moms out there who
are maybe picking the kids
up from school or sports
practice and don’t have the
time to cook,” Al said of the
reasoning behind the Monday
opening.
Guardi’s also offers
a”buy one, get one half-off”
promotion from 4-8 p.m.
Mondays.
“We have a great customer
base,” Al said. “We are
happy to be here in Tinley
Park. It’s a great place to
be.”

New Premium Standard Features Announced At
Prairie Trails in Manhattan Adding up to Tremendous Deal
New Homes in Manhattan within the
Lincoln-Way School District from the
mid- $200s
Distinctive Home Builders
is making it easier than
ever to claim a generouslyappointed
and thoughtfully
designed new home in a
great location with the introduction
of new Premium
Standard Features at Prairie
Trails—a community of 100
single-family homes in Manhattan.
“The new home designs
at Prairie Trails now offer
more flexibility and value
to our customers,” said
Bryan Nooner, president of
Distinctive Home Builders.
“They are attractively base
priced from the low $200s,
making it more affordable
than ever to become a
homeowner here. And yet,
the price doesn’t mean you
have to compromise your
expectations or tastes. We’ve
included a lion’s share of
luxury features and in-demand
standard inclusions
at Prairie Trails that all add
up to a tremendous deal on a
brand new residence.”
“You really can have it all.
Most home shoppers realize
there is a trade off from getting
what you need and what
you want in a new home.
With our new premium inclusions
we have closed that
gap significantly by including
additional features that
our buyers told us were most
important to them.
“Prairie Trails has the
premium standard features
that today’s buyers want in
a new home, such as custom
kitchen cabinets with soft
close doors and drawers,
granite kitchen countertops,
ceramic tile or hardwood
floors, and a choice of white
painted or oak trim.”
At Prairie Trails in Manhattan,
buyers can choose
from 12 different home designs;
each available in three
to eight different elevations.
The three and four-bedroom
homes range in size
from 1,600 to over 3,000
square feet with ranch, split
level and two-story designs.
Special limited time Pre-
Construction prices are still
in effect with homes priced
from the low $200s.
ery home we sell no matter
what the price range,” noted
Nooner.
Nooner added that all
homes are highly energy efficient.
Every home built will
have upgraded wall and ceiling
insulation values with
energy efficient windows
and high efficiency furnaces.
Before customers take
possession of their new
home, Distinctive Home
Builders will conduct a
blower door test that pressurizes
the home to ensure
that each home passes a set
of very stringent Energy Efficiency
guidelines.
When you purchase a
Distinctive Home you are
getting a high quality hand
Other premium standard
features included at Prairie
Trails that are not offered
anywhere else in the marketplace
are brick exteriors
on all four sides of the first
floor, concrete driveways,
free basements in most
models, ceramic tile or hardwood
floors in the kitchen,
baths and foyer; and custom
cabinets. Distinctive
kitchen cabinets feature
solid wood construction (no
particle board), have solid
wood drawers with dove tail
joints, which is very rare in
the marketplace.
“When you buy a new
home from Distinctive, you
truly are receiving custom
made cabinets in evcrafted
home. Before closing,
each home undergoes
an industry-leading checklist
that ensures each home
measures up to the firm’s
high quality standards.
Prairie Trails is also a
beautiful place to live featuring
a 20 acre lake on the
site, as well as direct access
to a 22-mile Wauponsee Glacial
Prairie Path trail that
borders the community. The
Metra station is also nearby.
Building homes in the
area is nothing new for
Nooner and his company.
Distinctive has built hundreds
of homes in Manhattan
and thousands in the
Will and south Cook county
area over the past 30 years.
Visit the on-site sales
information center for unadvertised
specials and
view the numerous styles
of homes being offered and
the available lots. Call (708)
479-7700 or contact Lynne
at (708) 737-9142 for more

10 Questions
Save tH e d ate
22nd CE ntury ME dia prE s E nts
with Isaac Hopper
Isaac Hopper is a recent
graduate of Lincoln-Way
Central. He played goalie
for the Knights and will
attend Millikin University in
the fall to play soccer.
How long have you
been playing soccer, and
what made you keep
playing?
Since I was about three. I
fell in love with the game,
that’s for sure. My dad was
influential in that he was a
soccer coach at Lincoln-Way
East.
What do you like most
about it?
I’m a goalie so I enjoy
the pressure. I just enjoy the
“not everyone can do it,” —
it’s a fun game.
I loved the campus. I went
through an interview process
for a scholarship, and I ending
up getting a full-tuition
scholarship.
What are some of your
personal goals for the
upcoming year?
I’d like to find some minutes
for Millikin and contribute
to the team and help out
the best I can.
What needs to be done
in order for that to
happen?
I think I have to work
real hard in the offseason
right now, and show up to
preseason fit and ready to
go. I just think hard work
is what is going to come
down to.

What’s the most
important lesson you’ve
learned from coach Sean
Fahey?
My body and I are capable
of more than what I thought.
He really pushes us to our
limits. If you really set your
mind to something that you
are, as a person, capable of
more than you give yourself
credit for.
You’re going to Millikin
University in the fall.
What made that the
correct choice for you?
Coach Fahey went there.
He definitely was influential
in talking up Millikin.
Who do you look up to
the most?
Definitely my dad. He’s
been a role model for me
in all of my life, in all aspects.
He’s a history teacher
at Lincoln-Way, so he’s inspired
me to study history.
He’s inspired my curiosity,
for sure. His passion is for
life is something that I do
really look up to and try to
emulate.
What are you looking
forward to most about
college?
I’m really excited to go
to a liberal arts school that’s
smaller so that I can really
get to know my professors
and get to know all of my
classmates. I’m excited to be
in an atmosphere where I’m
comfortable and know all of
my classmates.
If you can hangout
with any celebrity, who
would it be and what
would you do?
I’d love to have a conversation
with Ellen DeGeneres.
I think she’s really
funny and fun person.
22nd Century Media File Photo
What was the best part
about being a Knight?
Just the school atmosphere.
Dr. [Steve]Provis and the rest
of the staff really do just an
awesome job of encouraging
Knight pride. It really inspired
me to want to go to a small
school where I’d get that same
atmosphere at football games.
That’s something that I really
look forward and I appreciated
about Central.

For a trio of standout
Lincoln-Way Community
High School District 210
athletes, the boys soccer
preseason is off to a pictureperfect
start.
Lincoln-Way West’s Ezequiel
Medellin and Lincoln-
Way East’s Victor Gudino
and Joel Seielstad were selected
to take part in a July
26 promotional photo event
for the 13th annual PepsiCo
Showdown Boys Tournament.
It was literally a big
event: a photo shoot that
produced life-sized posters
of numerous standout soccer
players from the Chicagoland
area.
The three Lincoln-Way
players each had their photo
taken, and their posters are
to be displayed throughout
the tournament, which begins
Saturday, Sept. 10 at
the Lyons Township site.
“It was a different experience,”
Medellin said.
“Working with a professional
photographer is definitely
something new. And
it was nice seeing all the
other players (from other
schools) that were there too,
and see the competition that
we could face.”
Gudino and Seielstad also
enjoyed the spotlight.
“These two have celebrity
status with the social media
buzz around the Pepsi
Showdown,” East’s boys
soccer head coach Ryan
Decker joked.
West finished 9-9-4 last
year, and summer camp
also provided the Warriors
with introductions of arrivals
from Central in the new
district alignment.
“We’ve gained a few
players that will be added
to the starting lineup, and
they’ve definitely helped us
a lot and impacted us very
well,” Medellin said. “I see
us doing very good this season
with the new players we
have coming in.”
Those players will join an
experienced nucleus.
“We’re excited about the
upcoming season as we have
a number of key returners
with quality varsity experience,”
said West coach Jeff
Theiss, who coached the
Warriors to regional titles
in 2012 and 2013. “Connor
O’Shaughnessy and
Gus Petrungaro split time
in goal last season and will
continue to compete for the
starting position. Jay Bumstead
and Luke James are
three-year varsity starters
that will anchor our back
line, while Conrad Bolster
and Kyle Seymour have
both proven their ability to
be dangerous in the attacking
third.”
“Additionally, our midfield
core is experienced
and talented with seniors
Christian Panici, Ezequiel
Medellin, and Juan Flores.”
Nearly a month before
the first match of 2016, the
PepsiCo Showdown photo
day brought the rising hopes
and new era of Lincoln-Way
soccer into focus.
“The keys to a successful
season revolve around
maintaining our philosophy
to work to improve every
day and continuing to build
off of the chemistry that was
developed throughout our
summer camp,” Theiss said.
“We’re also very excited
about the opportunity to
compete in the PepsiCo
Showdown this season.
This will be our first season
with the boys program.
“However, what we have
learned throughout the
past two tournaments with
the girls is that the level
of competition within the
PepsiCo Showdown provides
us with an excellent
foundation to have success
within the SWSC Red and
throughout the postseason.”
While enjoying his
moment in the spotlight at
the Showdown photo day,
Medellin pictured more
important things going
forward.
“Obviously I’m hoping
we’ll win conference,” he
said. “Any accolades would
be huge for me, but I’m just
going to work my hardest to
help the team get as far as
we can.”
With North’s closing in
June, the district’s talent
pool will be spread among
four schools instead of
three.
East’s influx of new talent
from North includes
Gudino.
“I’m still learning the
type of player he is, but he
is showing a lot of potential,”
Decker said. “His size
and athleticism is going to
help us as we get started in
a couple weeks.
“Victor also has a great
personality and solid work
ethic thus far. He has done
all the right things over the
summer to prepare for the
upcoming season.”
Fellow poster boy Seielstad
wraps up a strong career
at East this fall.
“I am looking for a
big season from Joel,”
Decker said. “With the
players from North and the
remaining eight guys from
East’s varsity, I can now
put Joel into a comfortable
situation where he is going
to get touches on the ball
and the opportunity to be
dangerous.
“Joel unfortunately lost a
majority of his junior year
to injury and that hurt as he
was the focal point of our
attack,” Decker added.
That injury contributed
to a rare down year for the
Griffins last fall. After winning
a sectional title under
Decker in 2011 and regionals
in 2012 and 2013, East
went 6-13 last season.

soccer players Joel Seielstad and Victor Gudino for a photo July 26 that is to be used in a
promotional poster during the PepsiCo Showdown Boys Tournament. Photo submitted
Help is on the way, and a
return to better times should
come with it.
“This year some of the focus
will now lie on Jordan
Abbasi, Frank Dicosola,
Andrew Arias, and Gudino,
which allows Joel to relax
and play,” Decker said.
“Jordan, Andrew and Frank
are all juniors with loads of
experience. Along with [senior]
Nick Conces, I’m expecting
us to have multiple
options in the attack.”
Decker also sees a strong
defensive squad.
“On the defensive side of
things Liam Elsden [captain]
and Isaac Cahue will
anchor the back line,” he
said. “Victor Porada and
Mike Vieni looked good
over the summer minding
the net, so I feel as though
we have a fairly good balance
in our ability to defend
and attack.”
Seielstad shares his
coach’s enthusiasm.
“I’m definitely excited
to be playing with all the
kids coming from North,”
he said. “During summer
camp [at East] we were able
to meet a bunch of them. I
think it’s going to be a good
season.”
Decker added that the key
to winning this upcoming
season would be keeping
the team focused.
“There are numerous
distractions right now [with
the North closing], but I am
excited about the chemistry
and potential this group has
shown over the course of the
summer,” Decker said. “If
we stay focused and prepare
as best we can, I think this
team has the right mix of
talent [and] athleticism and
[the] mentality to compete
at a level we have not seen
in East soccer since 2011
and 2012.”

LW Central grad finishes summer soccer tour in Brazil
Steve Millar
Freelance Reporter
The world’s best athletes
will compete in Rio
de Janiero this month in the
Summer Olympics.
Lincoln-Way Central
alumna Rachel Post got her
own chance to compete in
Rio earlier this summer as
part of the USA Division III
women’s team, comprised of
top players from NCAA Division
III.
“It was a great experience,”
Post said. “It was
awesome. It was great to go
to a new place that I’ve never
been to and to get to play
soccer in another country is
such a cool thing.”
Post, who graduated from
Lincoln-Way Central in
2012 and finished her career
at Carthage (Wisconsin) last
fall, was asked to be on the
team after receiving All-
Central Region honors.
Ron Smith, of USA Sports
Tours and Events, puts together
the team and organizes
the trip.
“This tour is designed to
expose players to a great
soccer experience while providing
a once in a lifetime
opportunity for educational,
cultural and social growth,”
Smith said.
When she got the offer,
Post had been planning a
school trip in January and
was not sure she could do
both. The chance, though,
was too good to pass up.
“I wasn’t sure about it at
first, but then I was like ‘I
can’t turn this down, I’ll
never get an opportunity like
this again,’” she said.
The team spent 10 days
in Brazil, and one thing was
clear throughout the trip:
Brazil loves soccer.
“Brazil is soccer,” Post
said. “The experience of
playing there was incredible.
There’s such a love for soccer
there.”
The team went 2-1 against
local club teams. Flight
problems caused a fourth
game to be canceled.
With her college career
over, Post saw the trip as one
last chance to play the sport
she loves at a high level. She
made the most of it, scoring
two goals, including one in
the final game.
Post had just as much fun
off the field, as well. The
team visited the Christ the
Redeemer statue, Sugarloaf
Mountain and Copacabana
beach.
“They were all great things
to see,” Post said. “Brazil is
beautiful and I’m glad I got
a chance to go there and see
everything.”
Post became teammates
with many girls who were
rivals during the collegiate
season.
“There were girls from
our conference and girls
who made the Final Four in
Division III who we watched
play in those games on the
internet,” Post said. “It was
really cool to get to know
each other. We all have the
same passion for the sport
and we got to experience
playing in a new country together.”
Post also enjoyed getting
to know the Brazilian players.
“There was obviously a
language barrier, but some
of them knew English well
enough to communicate and
we could all bond over our
love for soccer,” she said.
“After every game, we exchanged
jerseys and shirts
with the Brazilian players.”
The women’s games were
followed by a men’s game,
featuring the USA Division
III men’s team, giving the
women’s players plenty of
chances to hang out.

“We’d watch the men’s
game with the Brazilian
players,” Post said. “We’d
juggle with them and tell
jokes and it was a lot of fun.”
Post was a four-year starter
at Carthage.
Her sophomore year, she
scored eight goals and had
seven assists. She moved
from midfielder to defender
for her final two seasons,
scoring five goals her senior
year.
“Playing soccer at Carthage
gave me some of my
best friends, people that I’ll
keep in touch with the rest
of my life,” she said. “As
a team, you could see the
progress we made from my
freshman year to now. It was
good to be part of building a
program.”
Post is working for a
healthcare software company
in Madison, Wisconsin,
but hopes to remain involved
in soccer.
Post kicks the ball in one of the matches during the summer soccer tour.
“I’m still going to kick
it around when I get a
chance,” she said. “I might
try to find a club that needs
a coach.”
One thing’s for sure.
She’ll be able to look back
on the games in Brazil with
fond memories.
“It was pretty cool to score
in what will probably be my
last real, organized soccer
game,” she said. “Then to
have it be in Brazil, that was
a good way for it to end.”

Seeking out a stronger finish
Lincoln-Way Patriots look
to finish on top in MSFL
Steve Millar
Freelance Reporter
Last season, the Lincoln-Way
Patriots went undefeated through
the Mid-States Football League
season, only to fall 36-29 to the
Racine Raiders in the league’s
championship game.
This year, the Patriots – a semipro
team that plays its home
games at Andrew High School –
are rolling again, and looking for
a different ending.
“Last year’s championship
game left a bad taste in everybody’s
mouth, including mine,”
said defensive lineman Arlander
Wade. “Everyone wants it this
year. I see a lot of fight in these
guys this year.”
Heading into its Saturday, Aug.
6 game against Rockton Rush, the
Patriots were 6-0, defeating their
opponents by an average of 31
points.
“We have really good players,”
said team owner Jim McClelland.
“We’ve built kind of from
the bottom up. Fortunately, we’re
from an area where there are a lot
of great programs. You’ve got to
have the horses, and we have a lot
of them. It’s not great coaching,
it’s great players.”
It all starts with quarterback
Tony Powell. The 26-year old
Crete resident who played at
Crete-Monee High School is a
two-time Most Valuable Player in
the league.
This year, he’s leading the
league in passing with 1,737
yards, entering the Saturday, Aug.
6 game. His 31 touchdown passes
are nearly twice as many as anyone
else in the league, with the
closest competitor at 17. He’s
thrown just four interceptions.
“Quarterback is the most
important position in all of team
sports and we have the best
quarterback in the country,”
McClelland said. “Our offensive
line sets the stage for everything
we do. They dominate. Our wide
receivers have been playing
together a long time, and they
know their roles and what to do.
And our running backs, we have
three or four guys who could all be
starters for any other team.”
That all adds up to an offense
averaging over 50 points a game.
Powell gives the credit to his
teammates.
“My teammates have been the
key,” he said. “I’ve been surrounded
by athletes. I just get
them the ball and let them make
plays. My job is just to make sure
they get the ball.
“It’s the third year together for a
lot of us. We’re gelling. We came
up just a little short last year, so
we’re trying to finish what we
started.”
Powell and his teammates continue
to play football for the love
of the game. It fulfills their desire
for competition.
“When you can leave work, put
all that aside and get to do something
that you enjoyed doing so
much as a kid, there’s just nothing
else like it,” Powell said.
“I’m an accountant, so it’s kind
of boring. It’s great to come out
here and get the adrenaline going.
It’s fun.”
Steve Trudo, one of the team’s
top receivers, loves the competitive
nature of the league.
“We have a league page where
we can trash talk and it just makes
it fun,” he said. “You come out
here and prove yourself. You can
leave all the stress in your life out
and come out here and just have
your mind set on football.”
Trudo, 24, is a University
Park resident who also went to
Crete-Monee High School. He’s
developed quite a bond with
Powell.
“When I was a senior in high
school, he’d come back and help
me,” Trudo said. “He’d throw to
us. We kind of already had that
chemistry, then we came out here
and we just clicked.”
Running back Calvin Phillips
is in his first year with the team.

Lincoln-Way Patriots running back Oojay Wilkerson eludes a defender during a practice last week at Andrew
High School in Tinley Park. Photos by Jason Maholy/22nd Century Media
is third in the league with 449
rushing yards.
“I’m enjoying the winning,”
Phillips said. “It’s been a long time
since I’ve been on top. I played
with the North Shore Express [in
the Gridiron Football League] before
this and we probably won two
games in two years.
“This team, we’ve just got a lot
of guys that work hard and have
fun playing together.”
On the opposite end of the spectrum
is Wade, who’s in his sixth
year with the team. The 24-yearold
from Plainfield said he keeps
coming back because of his teammates.
“We all treat each other like
family here and we all work hard
for each other,” he said. “We all
know there’s one goal. We want to
win that championship.”
The team has home games Aug.
13, 20 and 27 at Andrew. Tickets
are $5.
McClelland said fans can expect

watch his team play.
“The level of football is high,”
he said. “These are grown men,
they’re very athletic and the talent
level is extremely high. These are
guys that still love the game and
want to come out and play, and
this is what they have left.”

Ruskowsky to take the mound at NAIA powerhouse
James Sanchez, Editor
Nicknamed the “Polish
Princess” by Lincoln-Way
West softball announcer
Dave Gallagher, there’s
nothing elegant about
Amanda Ruskowsky when
she’s standing on the mound.
Instead, she exudes a tenacity
and ruggedness, as
she has endured pitching
nearly every game for the
Warriors the past two seasons,
as well as performing
through a multitude of injuries
this past spring.
“That doesn’t meet my
demeanor on the mound,”
Ruskowsky said about the
nickname. “You need to be
stone-faced and kind of intimidating,
so hitters kind of
fear it.”
Next fall, the West alumna
will take that passion of the
game to the next level at
Saint Xavier University — a
National Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics powerhouse
that wrapped up this
past spring with a 46-10-1
record and an appearance in
the NAIA Softball World Series.
The Cougars compiled
a 189-35-4 record over the
past four seasons.
Ruskowsky said the opportunity
to join Saint
Xavier fell into her lap. The
Cougars realized her potential
when she was 14-yearsold
when the team’s assistant
coach Erin Mulholland
taught her at hitting clinics.
Despite talks with Division-
I programs, Ruskowsky
signed with Saint Xavier two
years later before the start of
her junior year.
“I was really close with

Erin,” she said. “Then I met
Myra Minuskin, [SXU’s]
head coach, and she was super
nice. I had a great visit
there. … It felt like I was at
home.”
She will leave behind a
team she led the past two
seasons as its primary pitcher
and a force in the heart of
the Warriors’ lineup. However,
she leaves on a positive
note, capping off her
final year at West with its
most successful postseason
to date.
The Warriors reached the
sectional finals for the first
time in school history, and
during the regular season
they handed Lincoln-Way
North its first loss after a
16-0 start.
“I wouldn’t trade it for
anything,” she said of her

senior season. “It was my
favorite team all around. I’m
going to miss it. They were a
great group of girls with a lot
of camaraderie. They always
had my back. If I would do
it again, I’d do it again in a
heartbeat.”
West coach Heather
Novak said Ruskowsky
earned her stripes
throughout her time on
varsity, and by the end of
her high school career, she
considered her as one of the
best two-way players she’s
ever coached.
Ruskowsky started off as
a pinch runner as a freshman
and worked her way up
to an all-conference starter
at second base. She turned
to a full-time pitcher her junior
and senior season after
standout ace Morghan Deringer
left for graduation and
did more than just fill the
void. She finished her senior
year with a 0.95 ERA and
190 strikeouts. As the team’s
leadoff hitter, she batted .443
with five home runs and 24
RBI for another all-conference
nod.
“I can’t say enough about
Amanda - not only as an athlete
and a competitor on the
playing field, but everything
she did off the field,” Novak
said. “She did everything to
be a good teammate.”
The competitor in her
even led to points where
she started on the mound at
less than 100 percent. She
played through shooting
nerve pains and shoulder
tightness throughout the regular
season. And during the
first round of playoffs, she
pitched six innings en route
to a victory, despite dealing
with a stomach flu.
It took a pitch that nearly
broke her hand during
the sectional finals against
Bishop McNamara for Ruskowsky
to not complete a
game. She relished every opportunity
on the field as the
team’s leader.
“[Pitching] is rough on
the body, but when you want
to do big things, like go to
state, you just got to put the
pain to the side and go out
there and keep working for
it,” Ruskowsky said. “Even
though I pitched a lot, I have
12, 13 girls counting on me
to do big things.”
With Saint Xavier about
45 minutes away from
home, Ruskowsky said she
plans to come back to West
and watch her old teammates
play. However, her focus going
into next fall will be to
make the most of her college
life because she believes the
next four years are going to
fly by.
“I’m excited for it, but college
will go faster than high
school,” she said. “So, I’m
going to live it up, do some
great things with St. Xavier,
maybe win a national championship.
I’ll give it my all
and make it work.”

Michael Ivey, Editorial Intern
When he was four years
old, Bryan Ditchman was
dragged to his two older
brothers’ flag football team
practices. To keep him from
being bored, his father, who
was also the coach of the
team, decided to add his
youngest to the team.
“I got dragged to the practices
to watch them, so my
dad ended up throwing me
out there just to get a good
laugh out of it because it was
flag football and there was
not much contact,” Ditchman
said. “He threw me out
there at a very young age.
I’ve been playing football
since.”
That was the beginning
of a football career that has
earned the recent Lincoln-
Way Central graduate a football
scholarship to Florida
International University beginning
in the fall. Ditchman
said the coaching staff at
FIU played a big role in his
decision to attend the school.
“My recruiting coordinator
was really nice to me and
really down to Earth,” Ditchman
said. “They didn’t have
to lie to me and say I was going
to start my first year or
talk me up and tell me I’m
going to be this or that. They
were very honest with me
and very nice. Then when I
visited the campus, I got to
meet all of the coaches, not
just the recruiting coordinator.
They were all down to

Earth, and that’s what really
got me to go there.”
Ditchman’s four-year varsity
football career at Central
began when he blew the
coaches away with his performance
during his freshman
football camp.
“My freshman year in
camp, the coaches moved
me up to the sophomore
team, and within a week of
them seeing what I can do,
they moved me up to varsity,”
Ditchman said. “That’s
what started the fire for my
football career now at FIU.
Being able to play varsity
my freshman year with a lot
of the great athletes that we
had that year was definitely
a great memory.”
Ditchman said his favorite
aspect of playing football is
the physicality of the sport.
“From a football standpoint,
being able to tackle
somebody and being able to
be as physical as you can is
definitely a bonus coming
from a very aggressive and
physical state of being,” he
said. “From another standpoint
would be the lessons
I’ve learned over the years.
Playing 14 years, you really
learn a lot from all the different
coaches you have and
from all the people that you
meet. You learn a lot of important
life lessons that you
can apply to your life from
these people.”
Ditchman believes that
playing football for an extended
period of time is difficult
due to the physical toll
it takes.
“Playing such a physical
sport, you have to have
the mental strength, or just
strength in general, to continue
playing for so long and
it’s difficult because of the
physicality of the sport,” he
said.
Ditchman has cited his father
as being his biggest role
model during his football
career.

me started in football,” he

game of football. He was always
there to help make the

me. So I would say he was

regards to football.”
