From Aug. 23<br />
<strong>OP</strong> tower rescue successful<br />
Gas leak redirects traffic<br />
near Orland Square<br />
Bill Jones, Editor<br />
An Orland Park public<br />
works employee reportedly<br />
was in stable condition Aug.<br />
23 after he suffered a medical<br />
emergency inside a water<br />
tower near the northwest corner<br />
of Silver Lake Country<br />
Club.<br />
Orland Fire Protection District<br />
was dispatched around<br />
1:49 p.m. to the tower, near<br />
Golfview Drive and 88th Avenue,<br />
according to Battalion<br />
Chief Nick Cinquepalmi.<br />
“It was our understanding<br />
we had a medical emergency<br />
... about 80 feet up,” Cinquepalmi<br />
said.<br />
A public works employee<br />
reportedly had an undisclosed<br />
medical emergency while<br />
working inside the tower<br />
and needed to be removed.<br />
He reportedly had climbed<br />
up through the water tower’s<br />
internal ladder system before<br />
suffering the emergency.<br />
The fire district first assessed<br />
the situation, then<br />
called for “additional resources”<br />
from its own companies,<br />
Cinquepalmi said.<br />
The employee reportedly<br />
was reached with a ladder that<br />
extends up to 100 feet. Responders<br />
medically stabilized<br />
him inside the tower, then<br />
learned they had two options<br />
for extracting the employee:<br />
from the top or the underside<br />
of the tank bulb through<br />
a scuttle hole, Cinquepalmi<br />
said.<br />
“We worked with public<br />
works to find the second form<br />
of access,” he added.<br />
Cinquepalmi said the employee<br />
was closer to the scuttle<br />
hole on the underside of<br />
the bulb, and firefighters used<br />
a harness to safely bring him<br />
to the ground. He was then<br />
transported to Palos Community<br />
Hospital in stable condition,<br />
Cinquepalmi said.<br />
The rescue mission was<br />
completed in roughly 40 minutes,<br />
he added.<br />
“I think the guys did an<br />
excellent job,” Cinquepalmi<br />
said, crediting the district’s<br />
“depth of personnel” and confined<br />
spaces training. “Everything<br />
went well. All the companies<br />
coordinated just fine.”<br />
The public works employee<br />
was never left alone in the<br />
tower during the rescue, he<br />
added.<br />

An Aug. 23 gas leak near Orland Square<br />
required the gas company to shut off gas<br />
and police to redirect traffic near the mall,<br />
according to Village of Orland Park Public<br />
Information Officer Joe La Margo.<br />
“Police were there for traffic control,<br />
and the Public Works Department was<br />
there to provide emergency location to<br />
[the leak], and the utility company shut off<br />
the gas,” La Margo said.<br />
Public Works helped map the utilities<br />
lines and ensure that no other utilities<br />
would be damaged in the process. Representatives<br />
of the Orland Fire Protection<br />
District also were on the scene, according<br />
to La Margo. He added said no one was<br />
hurt and there was no evacuation necessary<br />
near the leak.<br />
La Margo said he did not know how<br />
long responding units were on the scene,<br />
what caused the leak, and whether or not<br />
it had been fixed or was still shut off as of<br />
late afternoon Aug. 23.<br />

Orland Parker raising her bar on volunteer efforts<br />
Recent Sandburg<br />
grad has eyes set<br />
on Thailand wildlife<br />
conservation<br />
Ryan Wallace<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
Katie Manning does not<br />
recall how old she was when<br />
she heard the call to get involved<br />
with humanitarian<br />
and animal preservation efforts,<br />
but she will never forget<br />
the moment.<br />
For her, it can all be traced<br />
back to a letter she received<br />
from world-renowned wildlife<br />
conservationist Jane<br />
Goodall.<br />
“My sister had written a<br />
letter to her, and Jane Goodall<br />
actually wrote back,”<br />
Manning said. “She told<br />
me to follow my dreams<br />
and make an impact on the<br />
world.”<br />
Those words stuck with<br />
the now 18-year-old Orland<br />
Park native, who is in the<br />
midst of raising funds for<br />
her biggest volunteer effort<br />
to date.<br />
The 2016 Sandburg High<br />
graduate is raising money<br />
for a wildlife conservation<br />
internship in Thailand next<br />
summer, where she is to help<br />
elephants mistreated by the<br />
tourism industry get reintroduced<br />
into the wild. She also<br />
is to teach English to local<br />
children in the city of Chiang<br />
Mai.<br />
The six-week program is<br />
one of many organized by<br />
Global Vision International.<br />
GVI is social enterprise that<br />
has run volunteer and international<br />
education programs<br />
since 1998.<br />
Manning’s goal is to raise<br />
$7,000, which will cover<br />
airfare, the cost of the program<br />
and day-to-day expenditures.<br />
Manning came across<br />
GVI after looking into a<br />
similar program last summer<br />
in Ecuador. She received a<br />
scholarship to help abused<br />
animals rehabilitate at a<br />
sanctuary, but her parents<br />
thought she was too young.<br />
“I was kind of upset about<br />
it,” Manning said with a<br />
chuckle. “But I just volunteered<br />
around here, and then<br />
I came across this Thailand<br />
program.<br />
“I’ve always loved elephants.<br />
They are my favorite<br />
animal, because they’re so<br />
mentally and socially interesting.<br />
Plus, I get to teach<br />
English.”<br />
Manning said she wanted<br />
to start as early as she could<br />
with the fundraising efforts,<br />
because this is an opportunity<br />
too good to pass up.<br />
“I just love being able to<br />
be able make a change and<br />
make a difference,” she said.<br />
“I volunteer because you not<br />
only help others but you help<br />
yourself, too.”<br />
Where it all began<br />
Manning said she did not<br />
have a mentor and was never<br />
guided into volunteering; it<br />
was something she discovered<br />
on her own.<br />
One of her first fundraising<br />
efforts came in junior<br />
high, just after a tsunami<br />
struck in Japan.<br />
“I asked the principal if<br />
we could sell suckers to help<br />
the children who were left<br />
without homes and clothing,”<br />
Manning said. “We got<br />
to do that, and I made sure to<br />
give the credit to the student<br />
council.”<br />
An animal lover for most<br />
of her life, Manning began<br />
volunteering the summer<br />
after her eighth-grade year<br />
at The Children’s Farm at<br />
the Center in Palos Heights,<br />
which she did for five years.<br />
She also volunteered at<br />
camps at the Lake Katherine<br />
Nature Center and Botanic<br />
Gardens, which help youths<br />
connect with nature and how<br />
they can do their part to sustain<br />
it.<br />
She also has raised money<br />
for sick children, was twice<br />

Treasure Chest Foundation.<br />
Parishioners collected more<br />
than 1,200 toys, gifts for teens,<br />
$110 in gift cards and $100 in<br />
cash to help children and teens<br />
fighting cancer.<br />
The not-for-profit Treasure<br />
Chest Foundation now supports<br />
more than 9,300 children and<br />
teens each month who are diagnosed<br />
with cancer by providing<br />
a toy or gift card in 49 hospitals<br />
nationwide. Nowhere else in<br />
the nation does such a program<br />
exist. Treasure Chest Foundation<br />
CEO and Founder Colleen<br />
Kisel founded the organization<br />
in 1996 after her then 7-yearold<br />
son Martin had been diagnosed<br />
with leukemia in 1993.<br />
Kisel discovered that giving her<br />
son a toy after each procedure<br />
provided a calming distraction<br />
from his pain. Martin recently<br />
celebrated his 23rd anniversary<br />
of remission from the disease<br />
earlier this year.<br />
If you would like further information<br />
about the Treasure Chest<br />
Foundation, contact Kisel at<br />

web site at www.treasu<br />
rechest.org.<br />
honored with the Youth Service<br />
Medal of Honor from<br />
Cook County Sheriff’s Office<br />
for doing 100 hours of<br />
community service in a year<br />
and, in her senior year at<br />
Sandburg, she helped organize<br />
the first Mental Health<br />
Awareness Week there.<br />
Manning said these types<br />
of efforts have allowed her<br />
to forge deeper connections<br />
with people and environments.<br />
“Being selfless and volunteering<br />
really connects you<br />
with people from different<br />
cultures,” she said. “Anything<br />
I can do that brings<br />
about change and/or gives<br />
people or animals a chance<br />
at a good life, I would love<br />
to do it.”<br />
Getting there<br />
Manning is set to embark<br />
on her undergrad studies at<br />
Williams College in Williamstown,<br />
Massachusetts.<br />
She chose the small liberal<br />
arts school because of its<br />
environmental programs<br />
and their ties to economic<br />
and social issues. The school<br />
also aligns with her other<br />
passions — poetry, drawing<br />
and playing the violin.<br />
After school, she said she<br />
would like to continue her<br />
self-motivated efforts as<br />
member of the Peace Corps.<br />
Before she gets there,<br />
Manning is concentrating on<br />
how she will continue her<br />
fundraising efforts for Thailand.<br />
She already has raised<br />
$1,200, mostly through the<br />
sales of chocolates outside<br />
of a local Walgreens and<br />
just talking to people about<br />
the program. She said she<br />
will have to make a payment<br />
of $1,500 by the end of the<br />
December to secure a spot,<br />
with the remainder due in<br />
the spring.<br />
There are two sessions for<br />
the program, with one starting<br />
June 24 and the other<br />
July 22. Manning is targeting<br />
the earlier program.<br />
Donations can be made<br />
online at www.volunteerfor<br />
ever.com/volunteer_profile/<br />
hopeloveearth, and Manning<br />
is to provide updates on<br />
her efforts on her fundrais<br />
ing Facebook page, www.<br />
facebook.com/katie.man<br />
ning.14019.<br />
Manning said she is not<br />
going to waste time restarting<br />
her campaign in Massachusetts.<br />
“I plan on talking to environmental<br />
science professors<br />
and find out ways to<br />
raise money in town and ask<br />
for help in setting up events<br />
for my fundraising,” she<br />
said.<br />

Kruse welcomes community back to school<br />
Lee Edwards<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
Kruse Education Center<br />
opened all its doors to kick<br />
off the new school year with<br />
an open house tour Aug. 24<br />
— the day before the first<br />
day of school this year — as<br />
part of Community Consolidated<br />
School District 146’s<br />
welcome-back initiative.<br />
All D146 schools held<br />
open houses from 5:30-7<br />
p.m. to ingratiate themselves<br />
to their incoming<br />
students by granting families<br />
the chance to look at the<br />
facilities, as well as meet<br />
faculty and administrative<br />
staff.<br />
Kruse Education Center<br />
Principal Carey Radde<br />
greeted families with warm<br />
welcomes and farewells, as<br />
they entered and exited the<br />
front entrance of the building.<br />
She described the first<br />
open house of the school<br />
year as “exciting.”<br />
“We love seeing everybody,”<br />
she said. “It really<br />
gives everyone a special<br />
sense of community.<br />
They’re going to meet their<br />
teachers and make everyone<br />
feel welcome and special.<br />
“It’s amazing they grow<br />
so much, and everyone has<br />
so much excitement coming<br />
back. A lot of our families<br />
stay because we’re a neighborhood<br />
school. So, we get<br />
to see the kids grow from<br />
year to year.”<br />
Kruse Education Center<br />
educates upward of 350<br />
youths, ranging from prekindergarten<br />
to fifth grade,<br />
including students as young<br />
as 3 years old. Radde said she<br />
connects with her students<br />
throughout the day by eating<br />
lunch with them, rewarding<br />
students for making the<br />
“right choices” with positive<br />
reinforcement and more.<br />
She added Kruse cares<br />
Emily O’Connor, of Tinley Park, checks out the library in<br />
her fifth-grade classroom.<br />
about its students’ development<br />
not only on an academic<br />
level but also as it<br />
relates to social skills.<br />
Kruse is to continue to<br />
provide parents and community<br />
members with the<br />
opportunity to connect with<br />
the school moving forward<br />
this school year by hosting<br />
a family breakfast, fun fairs,<br />
movie nights and more.<br />
Radde said she credits<br />
D146 for its holistic effort<br />
in bringing the community<br />
together.<br />
“There’s a lot of collaboration<br />
that happens not only<br />
with the grade levels within<br />
our school but distract-wide<br />
with the other schools,” she<br />
said. “It’s a great opportunity<br />
to have professional dialogue<br />
and have high levels<br />
of learning for all students.”<br />
Sade Watson and Tony<br />
McClinton brought their<br />
daughter, Lily Watson, to<br />
Kruse’s open house, as she<br />
is joining the district as an<br />
incoming first-grader.<br />
“I think this is a good<br />
thing to do,” Sade said. “It<br />
helps us to be able to tour<br />
the school to know what<br />
she’s getting into, a little of<br />
what to expect, meeting the<br />
teachers.”<br />
McClinton echoed those<br />
sentiments, sharing his desire<br />
to stay in contact with<br />
teachers throughout the<br />
year.<br />
One of Kruse’s returning<br />
parents, Hadil Souany, of Orland<br />
Park, was ready to send<br />
her three children — Ryan,<br />

D230 Foundation Health & Wellness Event to address the whole body<br />
Organizers say<br />
October event is<br />
expected to sell out<br />
early<br />
Lee Edwards<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
The D230 Foundation<br />
is gearing up for one of its<br />
annual scholastic fundraisers,<br />
the Health & Wellness<br />
Event, by inviting prospective<br />
donors, sponsors and<br />
guests to invest in the process<br />
early.<br />
Entering its third year, the<br />
Health & Wellness Event’s<br />
theme is “How to Live a<br />
Colorful Full Spectrum<br />
Life through Whole Detox:<br />
Cutting<br />
Values<br />

Cleanse, Nourish & Thrive”<br />
and is scheduled to take<br />
place at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 22 at<br />
Andrew High School.<br />
The event specifically<br />
raises funds to support<br />
scholarships for seniors<br />
at the district’s three high<br />
schools: Sandburg, Stagg<br />
and Andrew. It provides financial<br />
grants for teachers,<br />
as well.<br />
This year, organizers anticipate<br />
the event will sell<br />
out again with more than<br />
400 tickets sold — a projected<br />
increase from this<br />
past year.<br />
D230 Foundation Executive<br />
Director Jeanne Krapauskas<br />
called the event<br />
a “special treat” and cautioned<br />
interested parties to<br />
not delay if they are hoping<br />
to purchase tickets.<br />
“People are looking forward<br />
to it now because it’s<br />
the third one,” Krapauskas<br />
said. “We made history with<br />
it, because it’s so different<br />
from the other health and<br />
wellness events out there.<br />
All of our events are for<br />
fundraising, but this one is<br />
also to educate the community.<br />
We have the students<br />
serve the dinner, and everyone<br />
loves that. We’ve developed<br />
a reputation, we have<br />
a following and we plan on<br />
selling more tickets than we<br />
did last year.”<br />
Krapauskas explained<br />
the teachers’ grants support<br />
unique learning projects.<br />
She said grant funds previously<br />
have been used on<br />
poetry, literacy, author visits<br />
and more. She noted the<br />
2016-2017 grants have been<br />
chosen, with eight grants<br />
having been selected at different<br />
amounts.<br />
To view some of the previously<br />
awarded grants, visit<br />
www.d230foundation.org/<br />
grants.html.<br />
The Health and Wellness<br />
Event’s keynote speaker is<br />
Dr. Deanna Minich author<br />
of “How to Live a Full-<br />
Spectrum Life Through<br />
Whole Detox”. Krapauskas<br />
explained Minich’s detox<br />
specializes in cleansing the<br />
body with healthy food.<br />
“Dr. Deanna is all about<br />
the rainbow, eating the rainbow,<br />
wearing the rainbow<br />
and all of the colors of the<br />
spectrum, and how we can<br />
live our lives and be healthier<br />
and following that,”<br />
Krapauskas said. “It’s not<br />
just detoxing with food but<br />
detoxing your mind, your<br />
spirit, your stress level so it’s<br />
involved in all of these areas<br />
of detoxing.”<br />
Krapauskas said healthy<br />
lifestyles and detoxing make<br />
people feel better to be<br />
healthier. She said Minich<br />
has simple methods to assist<br />
individuals with their health.<br />
“This is great stuff,” Krapauskas<br />
said. “Once you see<br />
the picture of health, you<br />
just want to be like that and<br />
be as healthy as you can be.<br />
We’re going to have a lot of<br />
education at this event.”<br />
The D230 Foundation<br />
partners with school leaders<br />
and community volunteers<br />
to assist in the educational<br />
process by offering scholarships<br />
to the district’s graduating<br />
seniors, as well as<br />
offer additional classroom<br />
funding.<br />
The D230 Foundation is<br />
an independent 501 (c)(3)<br />
nonprofit organization that<br />
serves more than 8,000 students<br />
each year. Over its decade-long<br />
span, D230 Foundation<br />
has offered more than<br />
$200,00 in grants and $2,500<br />
in college scholarships to<br />
graduating seniors from its<br />
district high schools.<br />

Chicago woman reportedly burglarized<br />
vehicles, used stolen credit cards nearby<br />
Bill Jones, Editor<br />
A 22-yearold<br />
Chicago<br />
woman was<br />
arrested this<br />
past month<br />
after she allegedly<br />
burglarized<br />
vehicles<br />
Eunisha<br />
White<br />
outside two<br />
Orland Park<br />
businesses and then used<br />
stolen credit cards at a store<br />
at Orland Square.<br />
Eunisha White, of 7252<br />
S. Bennett Ave. in Chicago,<br />
was charged Aug. 22 with<br />
two counts of burglary to<br />
motor vehicle, a Class 2 felony,<br />
and two counts of unlawful<br />
use of a credit card, a<br />
Class 4 felony, according to<br />
a press release issued Thursday,<br />
Aug. 25, by the Orland<br />
Park Police Department.<br />
Police reportedly received<br />
a report Aug. 22 regarding a<br />
wallet taken from an unlocked<br />
vehicle outside Twin Peaks,<br />
16154 S. LaGrange Road.<br />
The wallet contained several<br />
credit cards that subsequently<br />
were used at the Janie and<br />
Jack children’s store at Orland<br />
Square, police said.<br />
Officers responded to the<br />
store and were able to get a<br />
detailed description of the<br />
subject who used the stolen<br />
credit cards, according to the<br />
press release. That description<br />
reportedly was relayed to other<br />
officers and mall security.<br />
While police were searching<br />
for a suspect, another burglary<br />
to an unlocked motor<br />
vehicle with a stolen wallet<br />
was reported outside Marcus<br />
Cinema, 16350 S. LaGrange<br />
Road. Shortly thereafter, mall<br />
security began following a<br />
female who matched the description<br />
relayed by Orland<br />
Park officers, according to<br />
the press release.<br />
Officers located White,<br />
who reportedly was carrying<br />
two Janie and Jack shopping<br />
bags. Receipts in the shopping<br />
bags matched the purchases<br />
made on the stolen<br />
credit cards, police said.<br />
One of the stolen credit<br />
cards was located in White’s<br />
pants pocket, and she was<br />
taken into custody, police<br />
added. The wallet stolen<br />
from Twin Peaks was located<br />
in the parking lot where<br />
White was stopped, according<br />
to the press release. The<br />
wallet reported stolen from<br />
Marcus Cinema was later<br />
recovered from White’s vehicle,<br />
police added.<br />
Bond was set Aug. 23 at<br />
$15,000 for White, with her<br />
next court date set for Sept.<br />
14, police said.<br />

Noor and Adam — back for<br />
another year of learning. She<br />
said hoped her children learn<br />
more about math and science<br />
this year, as those are their<br />
favorite subjects.<br />
“Summer is gone, but it’s<br />
a new year, so I’m excited,”<br />
Souany said.<br />
Kruse’s math specialist<br />
and instructional coach Angelika<br />
Kavroulakis, who encounters<br />
all of the students<br />
within the building, said she<br />
places a high emphasis on<br />
understanding how each individual<br />
student learns best.<br />
She recalled being amazed<br />
at the teamwork, dedication<br />
and hard work of the Kruse<br />
Elementary staff when she<br />
joined the district four years<br />
ago.<br />
“We’re all about serving<br />
kids, watching how they<br />
do, measuring success and<br />
adjusting according to what<br />
each student needs,” Kavroulakis<br />
said.<br />
Even though the event has<br />
passed, Joe Rizza Ford of<br />

its offer from its “Take the<br />

helping survivors of law enforcement<br />

died in the line of duty. They<br />
represent both the survivors<br />

served nine years on the Tinley Park<br />
Village Board beginning in 1998,<br />
serving as a chairperson on numerous<br />
committees during his tenure.<br />
Heffernan, who also served in<br />
the United States Marine Corps<br />
during the Vietnam War, died Aug.<br />
18. He was 70 years old.<br />
In 1998, when Trustee Thomas<br />
DiBernardo vacated his seat, Heffernan<br />
was appointed to the Tinley<br />
Park Village Board. Heffernan<br />
went on to be elected to the position<br />
in 2001.<br />
“He was the common man; he<br />
was able to relate to most everyone,”<br />
former Tinley Park Mayor<br />
Ed Zabrocki said.<br />
“Matt was a dedicated public<br />
servant and a good person,” Mayor<br />
Dave Seaman added.<br />
In addition to chairing the Village’s<br />
Budget and Administration<br />
Committee, Heffernan was<br />
the chairman of the Public Safety<br />
Committee. Heffernan helped initiate<br />
the Tinley Park Seat Belt Ordinance<br />
and introduced legislation<br />
for fire departments to lend mutual<br />
aid when emergencies arise.<br />
In addition to his passion for<br />
public safety, Heffernan was a<br />
proud veteran. He served as cochairman<br />
of the Tinley Park Veterans<br />
Commission and helped initiate<br />
the Marine Corps Detachment<br />
1217 in Tinley Park.<br />
Heffernan also was instrumental<br />
in setting up Tinley’s Sister City<br />
Program with Mallow, Ireland, and<br />
was vice chairman of the Tinley<br />
Park Oktoberfest, chairman of the<br />
Oktoberfest Parade and an active<br />
member of St. Stephen Deacon and<br />
Martyr Church.<br />

FROM THE NEW LENOX PATRIOT<br />
Foundation’s ninth annual outing to<br />
continue honoring NL native<br />
After eight straight years of successful<br />
outings, the morning of<br />
the ninth annual Martin J. Larson<br />
II Memorial Golf Outing Aug. 20<br />
looked as if the event was going to<br />
be in jeopardy.<br />
Torrential downpours hit New<br />
Lenox, showering The Sanctuary<br />
Golf Course – the host site of the<br />
outing. And Sharon Larson received<br />
calls regarding of the status<br />
of the event in the hours leading up<br />
to registration.<br />
Faced with the decision to send<br />
people home and come back for the<br />
dinner portion of the event, she and<br />
the event board members decided<br />
to let the show go on.<br />
The downpour subsided, and all<br />
the golfers at the sold-out event<br />
teed off on time, after hours of uncertainty.<br />
“It all worked out,” Larson said.<br />
“It turned out to be a great outing,<br />
actually.”<br />
Sharon’s goal when she, her husband,<br />
Dale, family and friends created<br />
the Martin J. Larson II Foundation<br />
was to donate $100,000<br />
after 10 years in service.<br />
It has exceeded that amount —<br />
after the foundation raised more<br />
than $29,000 at this year’s outing<br />
— and is closing on nearly tripling<br />
that goal as it heads into its 10th<br />
year.<br />
The event — which honors Sharon<br />
and Dale’s son, Martin, who<br />
died following a battle with lymphoma<br />
in 2006 — sold out all nine<br />
times, with roughly 40 foursomes<br />
every year.<br />
“These kind of things end after<br />
a few years, maybe because people<br />
get tired of it,” Dale said of golf<br />
outings. “But everyone enjoys it.<br />
For me, it’s like being at a party.<br />
It’s a celebration of his life.”<br />

new book<br />
I was troubled to read an<br />
article recently that alleged<br />
that the Orland Park Public<br />
Library was banning a new<br />
book that is critical of the library.<br />
To me, this sounds like<br />
censorship and also a violation<br />
of the library’s own intellectual<br />
freedom policy. I<br />
think it also goes against the<br />
spirit of Banned Books Week,<br />
which is an event that the<br />

First Amendment.” The article<br />
I read stated that several<br />
requests were made from Orland<br />
Park residents asking the<br />
library to carry this book, and<br />
I am personally aware of at<br />
least one library cardholder<br />
who has persistently asked<br />
the library to carry the book.<br />
The <strong>OP</strong>PL has refused to allow<br />
the book into its collection,<br />
despite offers to donate<br />
a copy of the book to the library<br />
and demonstrated community<br />
interest in the book.<br />
Since the book is carried<br />
by the Chicago Public Library<br />
and other libraries in<br />
the area, such as Tinley Park<br />
and Bellwood, I am left to<br />
assume that the staff at the<br />
<strong>OP</strong>PL has decided to engage<br />
in what I feel is viewpoint<br />
discrimination. “SHUT<br />
UP!” is a primary source account<br />
what transpired in our<br />
library in recent years, including<br />
reprints of incident<br />
reports and legal documents<br />
involved in complaints made<br />
against the library and its<br />
staff. The authors of “SHUT<br />
UP!” won several high-profile<br />
determinations against<br />
the library by the Attorney<br />
General and received court<br />
settlements.<br />
The residents of Orland<br />
Park deserve the opportunity<br />
to read this account of what<br />
went on in our library that led<br />
to the squandering of money<br />
on legal battles. In my opinion,<br />
library staff should not<br />
be able to ban a book from<br />
its shelves because they do<br />
not like the contents of the<br />
book or because it might<br />
embarrass them. In keeping<br />
“SHUT UP!” off its shelves,<br />
the <strong>OP</strong>PL feels like it is trying<br />
to keep the truth from<br />
taxpayers about what’s been<br />
going on in there.<br />
Jean Morrow<br />
Orland Park resident<br />
<strong>OP</strong>PL silencing its critics by<br />
banning book from shelves<br />
Although the Orland Park<br />
Public Library Director Mary<br />
Weimar accepted the 2014<br />
Intellectual Freedom (of censorship)<br />
Award, she reserves<br />
the right to ban materials<br />
with a differing opinion.<br />
I was informed by Andrew<br />
Masura, head of Adult<br />
Services, that “Shut Up! The<br />
Bizarre War that One Public<br />
Library Waged Against the<br />
First Amendment” “does<br />
not meet the standards for<br />
selection, as defined in the<br />
policy.” The brief “Standards<br />
for Selection” policy<br />
include this sentence, “No<br />
library material shall be excluded<br />
because of the race,<br />
nationality, political or social<br />
views of the creator.”<br />
Despite requests from<br />
patrons that the book be<br />
carried and the Library being<br />
offered a free copy for<br />
the community to read, the<br />
<strong>OP</strong>PL has chosen again to<br />
silence critics and cover up<br />
sexual offenses.<br />
I see “Shut Up!” as a<br />
how-to book in dealing with<br />
runaway government entities.<br />
Megan Fox and Kevin<br />
DuJan thoroughly document<br />
two years of verbal and<br />
physical attacks by library<br />
staff, trustees, and their family<br />
members since an Oct.<br />
8, 2013, library visit to print<br />
out homeschooling materials<br />
revealed shocking behaviors.<br />
We have a runaway board.<br />
Another example is lavish<br />
spending for Robin Wagner<br />
and Jason Rock to attend a<br />
San Francisco conference<br />
amounting to $3,655.18,<br />
plus salaries for four days.<br />
Both left their positions,<br />
assistant director and virtual<br />
services manager, in<br />
2-3 months. (Safe Libraries,<br />
May 9, 2016)<br />
I have been attending Orland<br />
Library Board meetings<br />
2 1/2 years but learned so<br />
much more from the pages of<br />
“Shut Up!” Fox and DuJan<br />
are dedicated and persistent in<br />
their fight for citizens’ rights<br />
in an era of Big Government.<br />
I do expect adherence to<br />
Village ordinances and State<br />
statutes in public buildings,<br />
merely common decency. I<br />
bought three books, keeping<br />
one for myself to highlight<br />
and make notes. Residents,<br />
we need to step up and speak<br />
out. Let’s put the “public”<br />
back into Orland Park Public<br />
Library!<br />

Jackie OBoyle<br />
Orland Park Resident<br />
The first day of school<br />
for Orland School<br />
District 135 has come<br />
and gone. We all are getting<br />
back into the swing of<br />
things with schedules and<br />
homework and that early<br />
morning bus.<br />
I always enjoy the first<br />
day of school. No, I am not<br />
happy the children are back<br />
in school. I fully enjoy summer<br />
break, with pajamas<br />
till noon. I do, however,<br />
love the first day of school<br />
fashions.<br />
The children carefully select<br />
that “first day of school<br />
outfit” — spending more<br />
time than any other day,<br />
even picture day, in hopes to<br />
make a good first impression<br />
on new teachers and<br />
friends they haven’t seen all<br />
summer.<br />
Here is what was trending<br />
at our bus stop this year.<br />
The boys are simple.<br />
Gym shoes absolutely and a<br />
variety of athletic shorts and<br />
T-shirts. I was shocked my<br />
12-year-old opted for some<br />
striped board shorts and a V-<br />
neck T-shirt over the usual<br />
Nike this or Under Armour<br />
that.<br />
I tried not to make a big<br />
deal about it, in hopes it<br />
would continue on Day 2.<br />
It did not. We’re back to<br />
athletic shorts and T-shirts<br />

Combating social me-dia; or, Standing in line, Part II<br />
BILL JONES<br />
bill@opprairie.com<br />
I<br />
recently found myself<br />
standing in line in Chicago.<br />
The line was roughly oneand-a-half<br />
city blocks long.<br />
And it took roughly an hour<br />
and a half to get through it.<br />
Throughout my stint in said<br />
line, many passersby asked<br />
from their vehicles why the<br />
line existed, a few phrasing it<br />
in the way of “What are they<br />
giving away?”<br />
The answer was: nothing.<br />
A brewer who stepped<br />
out from a larger company<br />
to form an independent<br />
business and cultivated a<br />
following was releasing a<br />
one-day-only brew — John<br />
Laffler, Off Color and<br />
Barrel-Aged Dino S’mores,<br />
for the record — and people<br />
were waiting for the opportunity<br />
to buy it. (It was<br />
worth it.)<br />
But that people were<br />
waiting in line to reward<br />
someone for their work<br />
seemed perplexing to many.<br />
Fashion<br />
From Page 16<br />
until picture day.<br />
The girls at the stop were<br />
sporting the latest trends in<br />
fashion for girls in junior<br />
high. It’s all about the<br />
romper. They were so cute<br />
in prints and solids, with<br />
flip-flops on the feet. Some<br />
wore colored Converse gym<br />
shoes, with jean shorts or<br />
This coupled in my mind<br />
with something else I did<br />
over a recent weekend,<br />
which was watch a Netflix<br />
comedy special: Bo<br />
Burnham’s “Make Happy.”<br />
Burnham does musical comedy<br />
right — self-aware of<br />
the stigma it sometimes carries<br />
and undeniably clever.<br />
But what was most striking<br />
about it is what unfolds in<br />
the last 15 minutes of the<br />
special.<br />
Burnham searches for<br />
meaning in what he is doing<br />
on the stage. And in mocking<br />
a Kanye West musical rant<br />
for some laughs, Burnham<br />
also openly touches upon<br />
some personal issues —<br />
what he does, what it means,<br />
what it leaves the audience<br />
and what it leaves him.<br />
In doing so, he also<br />
touches upon the proliferation<br />
of social media in our<br />
lives. Most of us use it —<br />
The Orland Park Prairie is<br />
@<strong>OP</strong>Prairie on Twitter and<br />
on Facebook.com/TheOr<br />
landParkPrairie (cheap<br />
plug!) — but what has<br />
it done to our collective<br />
psyche? Burnham argues<br />
that in many ways it has<br />
turned everyone into a performer.<br />
Or maybe everyone<br />
already was aching to be a<br />
performer, both audience<br />
and celebrity at the same<br />
time, and social media was<br />
the stage built in response to<br />
white denim capris. A few<br />
had on little summer dresses.<br />
The one accessory they<br />
all had was a gigantic<br />
backpack, filled with every<br />
school supply required and<br />
then some.<br />
The children at our stop<br />
were all dressed very appropriately,<br />
and each little<br />
person was embracing a<br />
trend of some sort. I enjoyed<br />
all of their outfits, and<br />
I am happy to report once<br />
that desire.<br />
So where does that leave<br />
the professional performer?<br />
We live our lives in public,<br />
and we watch everyone<br />
else do the same. We are,<br />
in essence, performing/<br />
chronicling/whatever on an<br />
international stage, as well<br />
as spectators to our friends<br />
all doing the same.<br />
It is, in many ways, selfcentered.<br />
And there is both<br />
good and bad that comes<br />
with it.<br />
On the one hand, we are<br />
open, connected. And we<br />
should, honestly, feel like<br />
what we have to say and<br />
what we do has value — the<br />
kind of value to be shared<br />
with the world.<br />
But with that comes<br />
the audacity to think that<br />
everyone else should care.<br />
It is easy to get lost in the<br />
“me” aspect of social media.<br />
Many are so caught up in<br />
the performances that are<br />
their daily lives that they<br />
stop paying attention to others.<br />
Who has the time?<br />
National tragedies simply<br />
become another opportunity<br />
to make the day about us<br />
and our feelings, but rarely<br />
are we out on the streets<br />
making a difference. Our<br />
condolences are too often<br />
simply another opportunity<br />
to remind others that we<br />
think we’re good people.<br />
We’re all “stars,” but stars<br />
again our bus stop is quite<br />
fashionable!<br />

that no one else really cares<br />

is too caught up in its own<br />
stardom. Stars surprised that<br />
other people might possibly<br />

have no need for a professional<br />

everyone is a reporter<br />

It seems like everyone<br />
has found a calling, a way<br />
to connect, via social media,<br />
and I think, just maybe,<br />
there is a real value to be<br />
found there. But it is hard<br />

else has somehow become<br />
devalued in the process.<br />

Pastor Column<br />
Remembering the meaning of Labor Day<br />
The Rev. Michael Foley<br />
Our Lady of the Woods<br />
This weekend, our nation<br />
celebrates Labor<br />
Day. This is a holiday<br />
developed at the end of the<br />
19th century to honor those<br />
who labor.<br />
It owes its origin to the<br />
push of labor unions and<br />
the desire of the Grover<br />
Cleveland administration to<br />
dissuade workers from the<br />
socialism that was becoming<br />
increasingly popular. In its<br />
earliest days, it celebrated<br />
labor unions (which by the<br />
middle of the 20th century<br />
accounted for nearly 50 percent<br />
of American workers).<br />
Samuel Gompers, the<br />
head of the American<br />
Federation of Labor, wrote<br />
in 1898 that it would be a<br />
“day for which the toilers<br />
in past centuries looked<br />
forward, when their rights<br />
and wrongs would be discussed<br />
... that the workers<br />
of our day may not only lay<br />
down their tools of labor for<br />
a holiday, but upon which<br />
they may touch shoulders in<br />
marching phalanx and feel<br />
stronger for it.”<br />
Labor Day has come<br />
to mean much more and<br />
much less. It is seen as a<br />
well-deserved break, a long<br />
weekend to mark the end of<br />
summer. All who work, not<br />
just union members, benefit<br />
from the recognition.<br />
At the same time, it is a<br />
bit ironic that so many people<br />
who work on Labor Day<br />
in retail establishments lose<br />
the benefit for which this<br />
day was created. And, of<br />
course, union membership,<br />
especially in the private sector,<br />
is a significantly smaller<br />
percentage of employees.<br />
It is good to reflect on<br />
the value of our work. The<br />
church sees work as sharing<br />
in the creative power of<br />
God. If we bring love to<br />
what we do, a task may be<br />
transformed from a burden<br />
to an opportunity.<br />
In the “Pastoral Constitution<br />
on the Church in the<br />
Modern World,” a document<br />
of the Vatican Council in the<br />
1960s, it is written, “When<br />
men and women provide<br />
for themselves and their<br />
families in such a way as to<br />
be of service to their communities,<br />
they can rightly<br />
look upon their work as a<br />
prolongation of the work<br />
of the creator, a service to<br />
their fellow man, and their<br />
personal contribution to<br />
the fulfillment of human<br />
history.”<br />
More recently, the Rev.<br />
Rick Warren wrote of the<br />
“purpose-driven life.” We<br />
are not here only for ourselves.<br />
We must bring this<br />
sense of purpose into what<br />
we do.<br />
Before I entered the<br />
seminary, I worked in the<br />
Loop. Each morning, I took<br />
the CTA downtown and<br />
most mornings had the same<br />
driver. He knew his passengers,<br />
and they knew him. He<br />
greeted everyone. If a regular<br />
was not at the corner, he<br />
would look down the street<br />
to see if that individual was<br />
coming a bit late. He wished<br />
everyone a good day, as we<br />
alighted from the bus.<br />
I thought, at the time, that<br />
he had found his work as<br />
something that made a difference.<br />
He was not driving<br />
a bus. He was transporting<br />
people with a bus. This<br />
changed perspective made<br />
all the difference.<br />
Sadly, there are challenges,<br />
including unemployment,<br />
struggles over wages<br />
and benefits, and the fact<br />
that frequently people are<br />
treated like commodities<br />
by those that employ them.<br />
This is far from the promotion<br />
of human dignity.<br />
I recently came across a<br />
survey that indicated that the<br />
majority of us are not happy<br />
in our jobs. According to The<br />
Conference Board in 2014,<br />
only 42 percent of Americans<br />
liked their jobs, down<br />
from 61 percent in 1987. As<br />
a nation, we work harder,<br />
take less time off, and have<br />
less satisfaction in our labors<br />
than workers in many other<br />
countries.<br />
This Labor Day, perhaps<br />
we can reflect on how to<br />
find meaning and value in<br />
our labors.<br />

Crescent Park wraps up its 2016 concert series<br />
Three more bands<br />
to play Sept. 4 at<br />
Orland’s Centennial<br />
Park West<br />
Jason Maholy<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
Hundreds of people recently<br />
took advantage of a<br />
beautiful late summer evening<br />
and attended the final<br />
concert of the season held at<br />
one of Orland Park’s newest<br />
recreational venues.<br />
Crescent Park — a fanshaped<br />
1-acre swath of grass<br />
nestled between the steel<br />
and concrete of the 143rd<br />
Street Metra station and the<br />
Ninety7Fifty on the Park development<br />
to the east, with<br />
a bandstand at its northwest<br />
end — is tailor-made to accommodate<br />
concerts.<br />
The park at the intersections<br />
of 142nd Street and<br />
Ravinia Avenue was populated<br />
Aug. 21 with people of<br />
all ages, who turned out to<br />
see the band 1976.<br />
Sitting in lawn chairs and<br />
on blankets, concertgoers<br />
dined on food and sipped<br />
beverages they brought in<br />
coolers, as they listened<br />
to the cover band perform<br />
popular 1970s-era hits by<br />
Fleetwood Mac, Thin Lizzy,<br />
Rod Stewart and Elton John,<br />
among other artists.<br />
Among those people who<br />
were enjoying the show under<br />
a sunny, blue evening sky<br />
— with temperatures pleasant<br />
but hinting of the coming<br />
autumn — were three generations<br />
of the Dabrowski<br />
family. All Orland Park residents,<br />
the group consisted of<br />
Mark and Jean, their daughter-in-law<br />
Julie, and Julie’s<br />
children Claire, 2 years old,<br />
and Paul, 8 months.<br />
“Well, ’70s Music is always<br />
good,” Jean laughed<br />
when asked about what<br />
Marlene Humphry (left) and Al Schumacher, both of Orland Park, share a picnic from<br />
Mariano’s at the show.<br />
brought the family out to the<br />
show. “We’re trying to take<br />
advantage of the town we<br />
live in. We missed a couple<br />
of the other [concerts]; then<br />
I wrote this one down on<br />
the calendar and was like,<br />
‘We’ve got to get one in this<br />
summer.’”<br />
“We were in college during<br />
this era,” Mark added,<br />
referring to the ’70s rock<br />
emanating from the stage<br />
roughly 100 yards away. For<br />
the record, the Dabrowski<br />
couple met while attending<br />
Northern Illinois University<br />
during the 1970s.<br />
While little Paul slept<br />
comfortably in a stroller, his<br />
big sister happily consumed<br />
rainbow sherbet, provided<br />
free to concertgoers by Hudsonville<br />
Ice Cream.<br />
“It’s nice to get out and<br />
have free baby-sitting,” Julie<br />
Dabrowski said. “And it’s<br />
good to have some different,<br />
free activities.”<br />
A short walk away, along<br />
the perimeter of the park,<br />
Orland Park Mayor Dan<br />
Michael Whitten (back), of Orland Park, plays catch with his<br />
sister Megan.<br />
McLaughlin, his wife and<br />
several other family members<br />
chatted as they dined<br />
on sandwiches, salads,<br />
and chips and guacamole,<br />
with brownies for dessert.<br />
Like many people who attended<br />
the show, they had<br />
a cooler packed with food<br />
and drinks.<br />
“We’re trying to create<br />
events where people don’t<br />
have to leave Orland,”<br />
McLaughlin said about Orland’s<br />
concert series. “They<br />
don’t always have to go to<br />
Ravinia or Downtown Chicago<br />
or Oak Brook or wherever.<br />
So the last 10 years or<br />
so, we’ve been adding more<br />
and more events every year.<br />
“I was just sitting here,<br />
thinking how neat it is. I just<br />
saw a couple riding their<br />
bikes this way, a family riding<br />
their bikes that way, and<br />
all these people sitting here,<br />
walking around, listening to<br />
music. That’s what we wanted<br />
to create here.”<br />

The concert was the fourth<br />
and final one to be held at<br />
Crescent this summer. Orland<br />
Park is to present one<br />
more show to close out the<br />
summer on Sunday, Sept.<br />
4, when three bands will<br />
perform during a five-hour<br />
mini-fest at Centennial Park<br />
West, 156th Street and 108th<br />
Avenue. Classical Blast is<br />
slated to kick off the show at<br />
2 p.m., and Fletcher Rockwell<br />
is scheduled to perform<br />
covers of heartland rock<br />
classics beginning at 3:30<br />
p.m. Chicago-based 1980s<br />
cover band Sixteen Candles<br />
is to close the show with a<br />
two-hour set scheduled to<br />
begin at 5 p.m.<br />
“We’re trying to replicate<br />
Ravinia a little bit,”<br />
McLaughlin said of the upcoming<br />
Labor Day weekend<br />
music fest.

The Dish<br />
Bourbon fuels spirit selection at Harvest Room<br />
Owner Christ Sirigas<br />
hand-picks ever-evolving<br />
drinks menu<br />
Bill Jones, Editor<br />
When it comes to the bar at Harvest<br />
Room, owner Christ Sirigas<br />
makes no secret of the fact that he<br />
is partial toward his bourbon.<br />
“I do focus on the bourbon,” he<br />
said Aug. 24, during an interview<br />
at the restaurant. “It’s complex. It<br />
takes a long time to develop. In<br />
bourbon, you can really taste the<br />
craftsmanship in every sip.”<br />
While the Palos Heights spot is<br />
known predominantly as an inventive,<br />
family-friendly restaurant, it<br />
is obvious to the cocktail connoisseur<br />
that Sirigas pays his libations<br />
the same loving attention Harvest<br />
Room’s chefs give to sourcing<br />
quality ingredients.<br />
“We try to use local distilleries<br />
as much as possible,” Sirigas said.<br />
The drinks list is constantly<br />
changing under his stewardship,<br />
and it is simply his palate that<br />
drives most of those changes.<br />
“I know what I like — the tastes<br />
and the intricacies of the flavors,”<br />
Sirigas said of making his selections.<br />
“It’s just so many flavors and<br />
complexities. I have people coming<br />
in every day to [get me to] taste<br />
their spirits.”<br />
Many customers start with the<br />
specialty cocktails menu. And<br />
when Sirigas is asked for recommendations,<br />
he starts by asking a<br />
question of his own: What is the<br />
preferred spirit?<br />
For those looking for vodkabased<br />
drinks, for instance, Sirigas<br />
said he would steer customers in<br />
the direction of the Booty Collins<br />
($10) — a passion fruit green teaand<br />
damiana-infused vodka, with<br />
passion fruit juice, lemon verbena<br />
syrup and yohimbe extract — if it<br />
was not already the most popular<br />
drink on the menu. The key to its<br />
success is the work that goes into<br />
it, Sirigas said.<br />
“It’s passion fruit infused; we do<br />
that ourselves, in-house,” he said.<br />
“It’s complex. It takes a long time to<br />
develop. In bourbon, you can really taste<br />
the craftsmanship in every sip.”<br />
Christ Sirigas — Owner of Harvest Room, on why he loves<br />
bourbon<br />

“We spend so much time making<br />
these drinks, these syrups.”<br />
Instead, for customers open<br />
to trying something different, he<br />
points to the Dead Heat ($10) —<br />
a St. George Green Chile Vodka<br />
cocktail, with simple syrup and<br />
lime.<br />
“It’s a very particular drink,” Sirigas<br />
said.<br />
And if customers want bourbon<br />
but insist on getting it in a cocktail,<br />
Sirigas recommends The General<br />
($10), which is named after his<br />
wife and co-owner, Carri. That one<br />
takes beer-barrel bourbon and adds<br />
a lavender-honey syrup, then drops<br />
in Italian-made Luxardo maraschino<br />
cherries for good measure.<br />
“We have to keep them locked<br />
up in the kitchen, because people<br />
will steal them,” Sirigas said of the<br />
delectable cherries.<br />
But while the cocktails remain<br />
popular, with a spirit like bourbon<br />
— which Sirigas said ranges in<br />
flavor as much as pinot noir — he<br />
selects what will appear on Harvest<br />
Room’s list based on how the<br />
spirits stand on their own, whether<br />
served neat, with a splash of water<br />
or a single ice cube.<br />
“It’s a fun time to be involved in<br />
bourbon,” Sirigas said. “I’m excited<br />
to show people new flavors and<br />
bourbons.<br />
“On the whole, our spirits are<br />
gaining notoriety.”<br />
And while Harvest Room definitely<br />
carries some high-end selections<br />
for the more discerning<br />
enthusiast, most of the spirits<br />
it serves run between $8<br />
and $16. Sirigas noted he<br />
would like to get a full<br />
tasting program going in<br />
the future, but until then,<br />
he is happy to put together<br />
custom tastings for diners if<br />
he is behind the bar.<br />
How about some jam with<br />
that bourbon?<br />
After three-and-a-half years,<br />
Sirigas said Harvest Room is<br />
finding its footing.<br />
“We had a trial by fire, and<br />
it’s taken awhile ... but people<br />
love us,” he said. “The reviews<br />
are coming in great.”<br />
For much of that time,<br />
the restaurant’s management<br />
has run what it calls<br />
the Side Room — a special<br />
events space directly to<br />
the east in the same retail<br />
strip. And slowly picking<br />
up steam is a jam session<br />
that has started unfolding<br />
in that space on Monday<br />
evenings.<br />
Mondays are already<br />
a busy events<br />
day for the main<br />
restaurant, with<br />
Chef Jonathan Harootunian<br />
offering his<br />
“Off the Beaten Path”<br />
prix fixe menu, which<br />
Top Pours<br />
Harvest Room’s spirits menu is regularly changing, but as of Aug.<br />
24, we asked owner Christ Sirigas to name his favorite selections.<br />
His Top 5 (at the time) were as follows.<br />
• Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea Straight Bourbon Whiskey<br />
• Blanton’s, The Original Single-Barrel Bourbon Whiskey<br />
• Journeyman Distillery Single Malt Whiskey<br />
• Larceny 1870 Bourbon<br />
• Hudson’s Baby Bourbon<br />
gives diners five courses of Harvest<br />
Room’s most adventurous<br />
offerings for $45. Sirigas said<br />
Harvest Room typically reins in<br />
Harootunian for the core menu,<br />
but these Monday evening dinners<br />
are his chance to let loose.<br />
Resident musician<br />
Ernie Hendrickson<br />
also performs<br />
at 7 p.m. weekly,<br />
as is heavily<br />
advertised by<br />
the restaurant.<br />
But after<br />
Harvest<br />
Room<br />
closes, some of its chefs head next<br />
door for a jam session, and — as<br />
the restaurant’s liquor license is<br />
still in effect — customers are welcome<br />
to head over to grab a drink<br />
and enjoy the music, Sirigas said.<br />
Maybe a doughnut?<br />
Is it an alcohol-infused breakfast<br />
at night, an appetizer, a late-night<br />
snack or a meal unto itself?<br />
Sirigas said he often gets those<br />
questions from customers who<br />
stop in after 5 p.m. on Fridays<br />
for Harvest Room’s Bourbon &<br />
Doughnuts event, which pairs three<br />
maple-bacon buttercream-frosted<br />
house doughnuts, fried in duck fat,<br />
served on a wooden board with<br />
an ever-changing house<br />
pick of 2.5 ounces of<br />
bourbon for $16.<br />
His answer is<br />
simple:<br />
Who<br />
cares? Enjoy<br />
it.<br />

Sophie Sjo is a senior tennis<br />
player at Sandburg High<br />
School. She plays doubles<br />
and won the conference with<br />
her partner this past season.<br />
How did you get started<br />
playing tennis?<br />
First, I was in soccer, but<br />
it wasn’t the right fit for me.<br />
My mom always played tennis,<br />
so she knew a coach that<br />
worked at Sandburg. So, I<br />
first got started with him in<br />
junior high.<br />
Do you have any<br />
pre-match rituals or<br />
superstitions?<br />
On the bus, someone<br />
brings a speaker, and we all<br />
jam out and sing, and it gets<br />
us all pumped, and it’s really<br />
nice.<br />
What is your proudest<br />
moment on the court so<br />
far?<br />
Last season, I was injuryplagued,<br />
and I had strep<br />
throat, and I was put with a<br />
random partner to finish out<br />
the season strong, and we<br />
won conference.<br />
What have you been<br />
working on during the<br />
offseason?<br />
In the offseason, I worked<br />
a lot on my serve. And my<br />
partner and I, we play aggressive<br />
doubles, so every<br />
ball we come up to the net<br />
and really put balls away.<br />
What do you like most<br />
about tennis?<br />
I like tennis, because you<br />
have to be really mentally<br />
tough. And if you’re feeling<br />
down, you have to bring<br />
yourself out of it. I play doubles,<br />
so I’m lucky enough to<br />
have a partner, so if I’m feeling<br />
down she can bring me<br />
back up, and vice versa.<br />
If you won the lottery,<br />
what would you buy<br />
first?<br />
I guess I would buy a<br />
car for my dad, because<br />
he wants a new car really<br />
badly. I would get him a ...<br />
He wants, like, a Pinto from<br />
back in the day. I think that’s<br />
a car, isn’t it? Yeah, he really<br />
wants one of those.<br />
Who is your favorite<br />
professional athlete?<br />
Novak Đoković, he’s the<br />
world’s No. 1 tennis player.<br />
He can be down, and he just<br />
comes back. He can fight<br />
through everything and<br />
gets every ball back and hit<br />
amazing shots all the time.<br />
What two items could<br />
you not live without?<br />
Tim Carroll/22nd Century Media<br />
Definitely my phone,<br />
because I’m a teenager in<br />
a technologically-driven<br />
world. The other would<br />
probably be food. I need<br />
that. Cheerios, Cheerios.<br />
Who would be your<br />
dream doubles partner?<br />
My doubles partner now is<br />
pretty great, Jasmine [Abunaim].<br />
If it had to be a celebrity,<br />
I would want it to be Angelique<br />
Kerber. She’s also a<br />
lefty, and she just won the<br />
Australian Open, so she’d be<br />
fun to play with.<br />
What is your dream<br />
job?<br />
See, that’s tricky because<br />
I’m undecided. My dream<br />
job would probably be a<br />
dermatologist. I like to help<br />
people, and I don’t want to<br />
be the medical aspect of being<br />
a doctor — you know,<br />
cutting into people — but<br />
I want to be somewhat involved.<br />

Girls Cross Country<br />
Eagles’ new coach plans to return squad to top-team status<br />
Randy Whalen<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
Sandburg girls cross<br />
country has a new head<br />
coach, and his name is Tony<br />
Pena.<br />
Pena, a 1994 Bishop Mc-<br />
Namara graduate, played<br />
baseball there and then at<br />
Lewis University. He is a<br />
teacher in Consolidated<br />
High School District 230 at<br />
Stagg, and a distance coach<br />
on the girls track team there.<br />
He takes over an Eagles<br />
squad that won a regional<br />
this past fall but fell short in<br />
the sectional.<br />
In fact, since finishing<br />
second in the state in 2009<br />
— which capped a streak<br />
of 15 state appearances in<br />
16 seasons — Sandburg has<br />
qualified for state only once<br />
(2012).<br />
“There’s a history with<br />
Sandburg, and the girls are<br />
looking long-term,” Pena<br />
said. “Our goal is to rise to<br />
be one of those top teams<br />
in the sectional, because we<br />
know that they won’t fall<br />
back.<br />
“Early in the season, I<br />
think we have a good Top<br />
7 and a nice group even beyond<br />
that.”<br />
Sandburg certainly looked<br />
good in the SouthWest Suburban<br />
Conference preseason<br />
meet. Although it was not<br />
scored officially, the Eagles<br />
finished second with 54<br />
points.<br />
That was just behind Lincoln-Way<br />
Central (49 points)<br />
and ahead of third-place finisher<br />
and Blue Division rival<br />
Lockport Township (75).<br />
“We have a lot of potential,<br />
a lot of people who are<br />
motivated,” senior Casey<br />
Jensen said of this season’s<br />
Eagles squad. “We have a<br />
new coach who has great<br />
organization. He has a nice<br />

“My time [in the preseason<br />

than I’d like, but I’ll get back<br />
up there. But as a team, I’m<br />
thrilled we had four runners<br />
in the Top 12.”<br />
Jensen (4th overall, 20<br />
minutes and 4.04 seconds)<br />
was Sandburg’s top runner<br />
at the preseason meet.<br />

Girls Tennis<br />
Eagles hope returning skill can top uncertainty<br />
Tim Carroll, Assistant Editor<br />
The Sandburg girls tennis team poses for a photo before practice Aug. 25 at the Orland<br />
Park high school. Tim Carroll/22nd Century Media<br />
It is a fact of life in amateur<br />
athletics: there will be<br />
turnover from year to year.<br />
Despite losing a great deal<br />
of the veteran presence on<br />
the Sandburg High School<br />
girls tennis team between<br />
this past season and the 2016<br />
campaign, though, the Eagles<br />
are confident that they<br />
will be able to repeat the<br />
successes they enjoyed this<br />
past season.<br />
In 2015, the team won<br />
sectional and sent top singles<br />
player Anna Loureiro —<br />
then only a freshman — and<br />
a doubles team to the Illinois<br />
High School Association<br />
state finals.<br />
“We had a pretty good<br />
season last year, I’d say,”<br />
said Stephanie Garoufalis,<br />
a senior and the returning<br />
member of the doubles team<br />
that qualified for state.<br />
But it still will not be easy<br />
for the team to replace all<br />
of the talented players who<br />
graduated.<br />
“We had about nine seniors<br />
last year, so it was definitely<br />
hard to lose them,”<br />
Garoufalis said. “We were<br />
very close with them.”<br />
Senior Jasmine Abunaim,<br />
another senior doubles player,<br />
added that none of this past<br />
year’s doubles teams came<br />
back whole for the 2016 season.<br />
As a result, the girls will<br />
have to get acquainted with<br />
new partners quickly. And<br />
there are plenty of players<br />
who are new to the program<br />
altogether, and will be asked<br />
to step into big roles.<br />
“This is the first time since<br />
I’ve been at Sandburg that<br />
I’ve brought up four freshman<br />
to start off,” head coach<br />
Brian Ostrander said.<br />
Although they lost a big<br />
chunk of this past year’s<br />
team to graduation, the Eagles<br />
will still have the leadership<br />
they need from the<br />
head coaching position. Ostrander<br />
is back for his 17th<br />
season of coaching tennis at<br />
Sandburg.<br />
In his time, Ostrander<br />
has seen some very talented<br />
teams and players come<br />
through the school. But<br />
things were a little different<br />
in Loureiro’s first season.<br />
“[Loureiro] really elevated<br />
our team right away,” Ostrander<br />
said. “To get a freshman<br />
who’s our No. 1 player<br />
right away makes everyone<br />
fall into a better position for<br />
us.<br />
Ostrander said he thinks<br />
that the experience players<br />
got last year should put them<br />
in a better position for the<br />
coming season.<br />
“We have some of the juniors<br />
that were here last year<br />
that got a taste of some higher<br />
positions,” he said. “So,<br />
if you look at it, this year is<br />
really set up for maybe even<br />
a better year than last year.”<br />
Ostrander is not alone in<br />
his lofty expectations for the<br />
season, despite the relative<br />
inexperience of the team.<br />
“We have a very young<br />
team,” Garoufalis said. “We<br />
have a lot of freshmen and<br />
sophomores coming up, so I<br />
think carrying that forward,<br />
kind of just to leave a legacy,<br />
[we] probably look for that<br />
conference title, look for that<br />
sectional title and get more<br />
state qualifiers.”<br />
“I’m very optimistic for<br />
sectionals,” Ostrander said.<br />
“I don’t know if we’re going<br />
to win the thing; all I know<br />
is we’re going to be a tough<br />
opponent.”<br />
The conference championship<br />
is likely to be a more<br />
difficult test for the Eagles.<br />
They have very difficult<br />
opponents in Homewood-<br />
Flossmoor and Lockport,<br />
which are two of the main<br />
reasons that Sandburg has<br />
been unable to win the conference<br />
in recent years.<br />
The Eagles recently had<br />
success against Homewood-<br />
Flossmoor for the first time<br />
in a long time.<br />
“We used to lose to H-F<br />
quite frequently, but last<br />
year we beat them for the<br />
first time in eight years,<br />
which is pretty good,” Garoufalis<br />
said.<br />
It has been tough sledding<br />
against Homewood-Flossmoor,<br />
but matches against<br />
Lockport have been backand-forth<br />
in recent years.<br />
“Lockport has been a little<br />
up in the air,” Garoufalis<br />
said. “We’re pretty evenly<br />
matched with them, so it’s<br />
always fun to play them and<br />
see what the result will be.”<br />
New class system to make<br />
state qualification harder<br />
Tim Carroll, Assistant Editor<br />
After winning sectional<br />
and sending a doubles team<br />
and a singles player to state<br />
this past season, it will be<br />
no easy task to send more<br />
representatives at the end<br />
of this season.<br />
For the first time, the<br />
sectional tournament will<br />
be broken up by classes.<br />
There will be two divisions,<br />
Classes 1A and 2A, which<br />
are to be broken up based<br />
on school population.<br />
Given that Sandburg’s<br />
enrollment is greater than<br />
3,500 students, the Eagles<br />
will find themselves in Class<br />
2A. This will pit the Eagles<br />
against some of the tennis<br />
powerhouses in the state.<br />
“We have a lot of bigger<br />
schools in our sectional,<br />
which will make it harder<br />
to qualify for state,” said<br />
Stephanie Garoufalis, who<br />
was one of Sandburg’s<br />
state representatives last<br />
season.<br />
“We’re obviously a 2A<br />
school, so we’re going to be<br />
playing all the big schools<br />
with all the great players,<br />
and everyone knows that<br />
the same old schools are the<br />
same old ones that win tennis,”<br />
Sandburg coach Brian<br />
Ostrander said.<br />
Although Ostrander said<br />
he does not think the Eagles<br />
are quite at the level of being<br />
state powerhouses, he<br />
added that his team is one<br />
But if there is one intangible<br />
Sandburg has that their<br />
opponents may not, it is<br />
team unity.<br />
“What’s amazing about<br />
of the best in its geographical<br />
area.<br />
“We’re getting to a point<br />
where we’re one of the best<br />
teams in the [southwest<br />
suburbs],” Ostrander said.<br />
But that does not guarantee<br />
the Eagles success.<br />
Because of the new classification,<br />
they will not know<br />
who their sectional competition<br />
will be or where<br />
it will be held until around<br />
Sept. 5.<br />
“That’s a big thing, because<br />
if we slide up north<br />
to Hinsdale, then we’re going<br />
to be going in there [underdogs];<br />
if we stay around<br />
here, then we’re going to<br />
be one of the top ones,” Ostrander<br />
said.<br />
The road to getting there<br />
will be more difficult with<br />
the sectional tournament<br />
being shaken up, but Ostrander<br />
still is confident<br />
that he will have plenty of<br />
representatives at the IHSA<br />
state finals.<br />
“I wouldn’t be surprised<br />
if we got three of the four<br />
teams [to state],” he said.<br />
And regardless of the<br />
trials and tribulations that<br />
await the Eagles on the<br />
way, Ostrander set his expectations<br />
somewhere in<br />
the stratosphere.<br />
“They’re high expectations,”<br />
he said. “Winning<br />
sectional, winning conference,<br />
getting to state and<br />
really improving on state<br />
finishes.”<br />

it’s very individual.”

Girls Swimming<br />
Young Sandburg swimmers hoping to make up for recent grads<br />
Tim Carroll, Assistant Editor<br />
As with any team entering<br />
a new season, the Sandburg<br />
High School girls swimming<br />
team lost some important<br />
members to graduation.<br />
Although some uncertainty<br />
accompanies that attrition,<br />
many of the Eagles that<br />
remain are well acquainted<br />
with the spotlight. After taking<br />
second place in both this<br />
past year’s conference and<br />
sectional championships,<br />
Sandburg girls swimming<br />
hopes to build on the experience<br />
and take home those<br />
titles in 2016.<br />
Many of the girls on the<br />
team were not around for<br />
the conference and sectional<br />
meets this past year.<br />
Head coach Anna McBride<br />
said she got a great freshman<br />
turnout, with 16 new<br />
members coming out for the<br />
team.<br />
Only five of the girls who<br />
swam sectional are back for<br />
the 2016 season, and three of<br />
them are juniors this year.<br />
“There’s a lot of spots for<br />
people to step up and fill new<br />
positions in terms of leadership,<br />
and also in terms of<br />
spots on lineups that maybe<br />
wouldn’t have been available<br />
to them in the past,”<br />
McBride said.<br />
The Eagles may not have a<br />
ton of experience in the pool,<br />
but they should not have any<br />
problems with team cohesion.<br />
“I think we bonded really<br />
well as a team and that we<br />
felt together,” junior Bella<br />
Wrobel said. “And even<br />
through the times that we<br />
didn’t do as well as we wanted,<br />
we still stayed together<br />
and made sure that everyone<br />
was happy about what they<br />
were doing and that they<br />
were trying as hard as they<br />
possibly could.”<br />
One of the big swim caps<br />
to be filled this season is<br />
A new-look conference<br />
offers shot at redemption<br />
Tim Carroll, Assistant Editor<br />
Things are not going<br />
to be exactly the same in<br />
terms of the Sandburg girls<br />
swimming team’s competition<br />
within the conference.<br />
With the closure of Lincoln-Way<br />
North and the resulting<br />
consolidation of the<br />
Lincoln-Way schools, the<br />
Eagles will see some old<br />
competition at new schools.<br />
“Our conference is going<br />
to look a little different,<br />
though, with the changing<br />
of the Lincoln-Way<br />
schools” coach Anna Mc-<br />
Bride said. “I don’t know<br />
which swimmers are going<br />
to be at which schools this<br />
year.”<br />
But this development will<br />
not quell Sandburg’s desire<br />
to get back at the teams<br />
that kept the Eagles from<br />
Clare Lawlor’s. Lawlor, who<br />
was a state medalist this past<br />
season, competed mainly in<br />
the sprint freestyle events.<br />
Junior Madison Stuursma<br />
will be tasked with filling<br />
Lawlor’s spot in the lineup,<br />
as she will be competing in<br />
the sprint freestyle.<br />
“Clare Lawlor was a huge<br />
impact on our team” Stuursma<br />
said. “But now that she’s<br />
gone, we want to see what<br />
we can do without her.”<br />
reaching the promised land.<br />
McBride said she may not<br />
know who will be swimming<br />
for which schools, but<br />
she does know she would<br />
like to avenge the conference<br />
and sectional runnerup<br />
finishes handed to the<br />
Eagles by Lincoln-Way<br />
East and Lockport, respectively.<br />
“They were both really<br />
close meets,” McBride said.<br />
“We have a pretty young<br />
team, so I think that’s a motivator<br />
for them, in terms of<br />
coming back.<br />
“Those would be our biggest<br />
local rivals.”<br />
The Eagles will have<br />
their chance at vengeance<br />
during the regular season,<br />
all within the span of<br />
a week. They are slated to<br />
meet East at home Oct. 6<br />
and visit Lockport Oct. 12.<br />

• host Joliet, 5 p.m. Sept. 22<br />

While McBride was<br />
pleased with how hard her<br />
swimmers were working<br />
to get ready for the season,<br />
there is still some work to be<br />
done in filling out the lineups.<br />
She said she hoped that<br />
a couple of swimmers would<br />
step up and claim spots in<br />
the 500-yard freestyle.<br />
“That’s a little bit different<br />
of an event, being that it’s<br />
the longest event,” McBride<br />
said. “So, it helps when<br />

While her team is relatively<br />
young and not all the<br />
lineup spots are completely<br />
sewn up, McBride knows she<br />
has the talent to compete.<br />
“We always, as a program,<br />
traditionally have had a goal<br />
of winning the conference<br />
meet, because it is a team<br />
meet,” she said. “That’s always<br />
been one of our goals.<br />
“It’s a very tough goal, but<br />
it’s very motivating for us.”

Sandburg faces injury, loss in season-opener<br />
Brucki sidelined<br />
during second<br />
quarter of Game 1<br />
Dave Owen, Freelance Reporter<br />
A second-quarter injury to<br />
star running back/linebacker<br />
Patrick Brucki and a 42-<br />
14 loss to Naperville North<br />
made for a painful Friday,<br />
Aug. 26, for Sandburg’s football<br />
team.<br />
But the strong return to an<br />
old position for senior Collin<br />
Friedsam provided a silver<br />
lining.<br />
Friedsam completed 12-<br />
of-26 passes for 156 yards<br />
and two touchdowns, and<br />
made big plays in the wake<br />
of Brucki’s injury to help the<br />
Eagles rally from a 21-0 deficit<br />
to close the score to 21-14<br />
at halftime.<br />
“Patrick’s our leader, the<br />
heart of this team,” Friedsam<br />
said. “We knew we all had to<br />
step up.”<br />
A quarterback throughout<br />
his playing career, Friedsam<br />
(6-foot-3, 190 pounds) shifted<br />
to tight end this past fall.<br />
“Collin’s a good athlete,”<br />
Sandburg coach Scott Peters<br />
said. “We had a two-year<br />
starter at quarterback, and<br />
we couldn’t just have Collin<br />
sit on the bench, so we found<br />
another spot for him.<br />
“He’s a good kid, and he<br />
works hard. He’s going to be<br />
a good quarterback.”<br />
Friedsam showed big<br />
signs of that in the second<br />
quarter, with his team reeling<br />
from both the loss of<br />
Brucki and a 21-0 deficit.<br />
Friedsam’s 37-yard pass to<br />
Jamare Parker down the left<br />
sideline ignited the comeback,<br />
and Friedsam followed<br />
with a clutch 12-yard pass to<br />
Ayo Abiona on fourth down<br />
and 10 yards to the Naperville<br />
North 26-yard line.<br />
The next play, Friedsam<br />
hit Parker deep left with a<br />
26-yard touchdown pass to<br />
make the score 21-7.<br />
The ensuing kickoff added<br />
fuel to the momentum, as<br />
John Murphy’s fumble recovery<br />
gave the Eagles the<br />
ball right back at the Huskies’<br />
34-yard line.<br />
Friedsam again showed<br />
poise, rolling away from<br />
pressure on fourth-and-4,<br />
with 1 minute and 2 seconds<br />
left in the half, to hit Abiona<br />
for a 17-yard touchdown<br />
pass in the front of the end<br />
zone to send Sandburg into<br />
the break with only a sevenpoint<br />
deficit.<br />
“Our offense looked really<br />
good,” Friedsam said. “We<br />
were driving the ball. We<br />
had momentum. Then, in the<br />
second half, we just came<br />
out flat and had execution<br />
problems. We’ll be all right,<br />
Sandburg Ayo Abiona tries to dodge a Naperville North<br />
defender during the game.<br />
though. We’ll come out next<br />
week ready to get it done.”<br />
Naperville North turned<br />
the tide for good at an unlikely<br />
time — after a Jared<br />
Monnett punt rolled dead at<br />
the 1-yard line.<br />
The Huskies went 99<br />
yards on six plays to take a<br />
28-14 lead, sparked by runs<br />
of seven and 51 yards to<br />
open the drive.<br />
Despite another Sandburg<br />
drive to the Naperville North<br />
44-yard line on its next possession<br />
— featuring a 16-yard<br />
pass from Friedsam to Grant<br />
Glover — the Huskies added<br />
scores on their next two possessions<br />
to take command.<br />
“It was good to see them<br />
respond and get back in the<br />
game,” Peters said of his<br />
team’s second-quarter rally.<br />
”But at the end of the day,<br />
Sandburg quarterback Collin Friedsam fires a pass under<br />
pressure Friday, Aug. 26, during the season-opener against<br />
Naperville North, in Orland Park.<br />
Photos by Seamus Scanlan/22nd Century Media<br />
[Naperville North was] the<br />
better team and physically<br />
were taking it to us a little<br />
bit. That was the tone on<br />
both sides of the ball.”<br />
Losing the talents and<br />
hard-hitting aggressiveness<br />
of Brucki did not help. He<br />
was injured on a Naperville<br />
North running play in the<br />
second quarter and spent the<br />
rest of the night on crutches,<br />
with a heavily wrapped leg<br />
just above the right ankle.<br />
“He’s a guy that we count<br />
on, on both sides of the<br />
ball,” Peters said. “That’s<br />
obviously a big blow to the<br />
team, but hopefully he’ll be<br />
all right. And if not, we need<br />
somebody else to step up.”<br />
Players like Friedsam already<br />
have shown versatility<br />
and drive to help the team<br />
wherever needed. Pulling together<br />
for next week’s trip to<br />
Lincoln-Way Central is just<br />
the latest test.<br />
“We’ve always had a<br />
tough time with them, so<br />
there’s definitely some revenge<br />
from a lot of our<br />
seniors,” Friedsam said.<br />
“We’re going to work extra<br />
hard to get that ‘W’ in our<br />
last year against them.”<br />
As for his 2016 debut,<br />
Friedsam was happy to be<br />
back at quarterback.<br />
“I’ve been playing quarterback<br />
my whole life, so I’ve<br />
still got it in me,” he said. “I<br />
absolutely love leading the<br />
offense and being the leader.<br />
This is the best game, stepping<br />
out here on Friday night.<br />
There’s nothing better.”<br />
Friedsam sees much more<br />
potential for himself and the<br />
Eagles.<br />
“I think I could have performed<br />
a little better,” he<br />
said. “But it’s only Week 1,<br />
so all of our guys are going<br />
to be more comfortable as it<br />
goes. We’re going to work<br />
even harder this week, and<br />
we’ll be all right next week.”<br />
Coming off his varsity<br />
head coaching debut, after<br />
serving on Sandburg’s sophomore<br />
staff this past fall, Peters<br />
also is looking forward.<br />
“We’ll challenge the kids<br />
to bounce back,” Peters said.<br />
“You’re going to go through<br />
ups and downs and adversity,<br />
and it’s how you respond that’s<br />
the character we’re looking<br />
for. We have another tough<br />
game next week. There’s no<br />
time to dwell on it.”<br />

Eagles unofficially dominate SWSC preseason meet<br />
Coach says he wants<br />

slated to be held at<br />
the Roma Sports Club,<br />

tryouts are as<br />
follows. Children ages<br />
12-14 years old are<br />
to try out from 6-7:30<br />
p.m., while teens ages<br />
15-18 are to try out<br />
from 8-9:45 p.m.<br />

net or contact Pam<br />
Campbell at (312) 806-<br />
7387. Attack is a local<br />
volleyball club with ties<br />
to Orland Park.<br />
According to Sandburg<br />
boys cross country coach<br />
John O’Malley, the Eagles<br />
are not out to defend their<br />
Class 3A state title from last<br />
year; they are building for<br />
this season.<br />
“There is no defense,”<br />
O’Malley said. “We feel like<br />
we’re building, not defending.<br />
If you feel like you’re<br />
defending, you’re in the<br />
wrong mindset. We’ve got<br />
to be in a building mode. No<br />
one has won anything yet.”<br />
While this is true, the Eagles<br />
would have easily won<br />
the SouthWest Suburban<br />
Conference preseason meet,<br />
which was held Aug. 23 at<br />
Turtlehead Lake.<br />
The meet was not scored<br />
officially, but if it were,<br />
Sandburg (27 points) —<br />
which had four of the top<br />
six finishers — would have<br />
won.<br />
Lincoln-Way East (77)<br />
was second, and Lincoln-<br />
Way West (96) placed third.<br />
Sandburg has captured<br />
the conference crown every<br />
year except 2009 — when<br />
Lockport Township won it<br />
— since the league formed<br />
in 2005.<br />
So, at least in terms of<br />
the SWSC Conference, the<br />
Eagles looked to be in good<br />
John Cunningham runs during the preseason meet.<br />
spot to start the season. But<br />
in terms of being a state contender,<br />
that is still a long way<br />
to go.<br />
“Martin Skucas is the only<br />
guy we have back from last<br />
season’s Top 7,” O’Malley<br />
said. “This is the least<br />
amount of talent we’ve had<br />
coming back in some time.<br />
So we have to work really<br />
hard.”<br />
The guys are ready to do<br />
that. In the SWSC preseason<br />
meet, junior Dylan Jacobs<br />
won with a time of 15 minutes<br />
and 22.1 seconds. Skucas<br />
(15:48.6) was second.<br />
“It definitely felt good,”<br />
Jacobs said of being the top<br />
finisher. “We lost a lot of<br />
great runners, but we have<br />
a lot of guys stepping up.<br />
We don’t have that experience<br />
from the state meet, but<br />
I think we can run well this<br />
year.”<br />
So does Skucas, who said<br />
he wants to take the experience<br />
of being among the<br />
top runners this past fall and<br />
build upon it.<br />
“I ran with all the legends<br />
of Sandburg, the guys that<br />
broke through and made it<br />
happen,” he said. “Last year,<br />
we knew what we had to do<br />
from experience. This year,<br />
we don’t have the returners.<br />
So, my job is definitely getting<br />
the young guys to know<br />
what it’s like to be a part of<br />
the team.”<br />
Skucas also noted that the<br />
team’s gap between its Top 5<br />
runners was not big last year.<br />
That’s something the Eagles<br />
will have to work on this<br />
season if they once again<br />
hope to have state success.<br />

Top 7 times at the preseason<br />
meet were senior<br />

junior Ben Cachares (24th,<br />

“The gap we had between<br />
the first runner and the fifth<br />
was too big,” O’Malley said<br />
of the preseason results. “It<br />
was over a minute-and-ahalf,<br />
and you’d get carved<br />
