Offering an environment for support, suicide awareness 

Jason Maholy 

Freelance Reporter 

For three years following 

her son’s suicide, Patricia 

Steinkamp was mired in a 

state of grief and sorrow. 

The New Lenox woman 

attended many programs 

for people who have experienced 

the loss of a loved 

one, but despite her efforts 

to find a way out of the 

darkness, the pain and sadness 

persisted. 

“I wasn’t feeling that it 

was doing me any good 

— and as far as suicide, 

that people understood,” 

said Steinkamp, whose son 

Larry committed suicide in 

2011. “When you’re in that 

kind of grief and dealing 

with that loss, you’re kind 

of in a post-traumatic stress 

disorder state of mind. So 

personally, I wasn’t getting 

a lot out of it. There were so 

many tears, and it was more 

depressing to me than it was 

uplifting.” 

Steinkamp found it hard 

to find hope. Some of the 

people attending the meetings 

had been doing so for 

as many as 10 years and did 

not appear to be progressing. 

“And I said, ‘I’m not going 

to get stuck in this, I 

have to work through this,’” 

she recalled. 

Inspired by a letter from 

New Lenox Mayor Tim Baldermann 

— whose younger 

brother committed suicide 

25 years ago — and encouraged 

by New Lenox Police 

Public Safety Chief Dan 

Martin, Steinkamp became 

involved in suicide prevention. 

Two years ago, she 

facilitated meetings at Healing 

Hearts, a survivors of 

suicide support group, and 

is now helping other people 

climb out of the despair she 

endured not so long ago. 

“My pastor told me it was

the Remembrance Walk at Village Hall. 

my mission,” she said of 

Healing Hearts. “He said, 

‘God chose you to be one,’ 

to be able to understand and 

to be compassionate to others, 

to show them there’s 

a way you can get through 

this. So that does me a lot of 

good, to help others. If I can 

survive it, I can show you 

the way.” 

Steinkamp and Healing 

Hearts were among the individuals 

and agencies at A 

Pathway to Hope and Healing 

held Sept. 7 at Village 

Hall. The event was sponsored 

by Silver Cross Hospital 

and held in recognition 

of World Suicide Prevention 

Day. 

Steven Kehoe, director of 

behavioral health services at 

Silver Cross, said the event 

is at its heart an attempt to 

strip suicide of the stigma 

often associated with it. 

“The real inspiration is 

that suicide remains one 

of the top causes of death 

in America and in some 

age groups the top cause 

of death, but it’s still very 

much underground and undercover,” 

Kehoe said. “It’s 

not something that’s talked 

about publicly. The idea is 

to bring the issue out into 

the open, give people help 

and resources for themselves 

and family members 

who may be struggling, 

even if they haven’t attempted 

suicide but may be 

dealing with depression.” 

Community support and 

openly discussing suicide 

and mental health issues are 

essential to suicide prevention, 

Kehoe added. 

The event featured a panel 

discussion that included 

Teena Mackey, president of 

NAMI Will-Grundy; Barry 

Kolanowski, director of Senior 

Services of Will County; 

Kaitlyn McAdams, a 

volunteer with a crisis line; 

and Erin Kelly, manager of 

emergency department social 

workers at Silver Cross. 

Kolanowski shared that 

his mother committed suicide 

11 years ago at the age 

of 72. Before his mother’s 

death, Kolanowski had not

also had been informed that 

the cause of the fire came 

from an old, unused Ford 

Expedition car that sat in

“All the electrical was

Neighbors start GoFundMe in support of house fire in subdivision 

F. Amanda Tugade 

Assistant Editor 

“Love. Live.” 

Those pair of words – 

which were hung as decor 

on Paul and Joy Reno’s bedroom 

wall – is one of the 

very few belongings that 

remains unharmed in what is 

left of their two-story home 

on Turtledove Lane in New 

Lenox. 

Nearly three weeks have 

passed since the structural 

fire occurred and destroyed 

their home, leaving Paul and 

Joy and their two sons Zachary 

and Ayden helpless, uncertain. 

“Basically, 20 years of 

our life went up in flames,” 

Paul said, “and it’s been an 

emotional roller coaster, but 

... we have some really great 

neighbors, great friends – 

things like that – to support 

us.” 

That support comes in the 

form of a GoFundMe page 

where community members 

can make donations to help 

the Reno family rebuild. 

While the targeted goal is 

set at $25,000, more than 

$4,000, as of Sept. 9, has already 

been raised. 

Daniel Peterson, who 

lives just a few houses away 

from the Renos, said despite 

not knowing them very well 

– only that Joy brings everyone 

together for the annual 

block party – he started the 

website just to “make it easy 

for people to contribute.” 

The Renos’ experience, 

too, is something that Peterson 

has seen first-hand. 

“I had an uncle who had 

a house fire when I was 

young, and he stayed with us 

for a long time,” he recalled, 

noting to come back from 

a tragedy like that is tough. 

“Insurance covers a lot of 

things, but it doesn’t cover 

everything.” 

Paul said the morning of 

Sunday, Aug. 28 started off 

like most of their Sundays, 

with chores, errands and

to take place. Photos by James Sanchez/22nd Century Media 

plans to spend time together 

as a family. This day, in particular, 

they were to attend 

a birthday party and a fundraiser 

for one of Joy’s friends. 

While the boys were getting 

ready, Paul and Joy decided 

to go to the grocery store to 

finish off their to-do list. 

“So, we went to Berkot’s – 

literally less than half a mile 

from my house – [and] did 

the grocery shopping,” Paul 

said. “We’re checking out, 

and my son called my wife’s 

phone, screaming that ‘the 

garage [is] on fire, the garage 

[is] on fire.’ We ran out 

as fast as we could.” 

As the couple made their 

way back home, he said “all 

we see is smoke coming up, 

probably 350 feet in the air,” 

and the two “knew things 

were real bad.” 

“The garage was completely 

engulfed in flames, 

shooting through the roof,” 

Paul continued. “I got there 

about the same time the fire 

truck pulled up. By the time 

[the New Lenox Fire Protection 

District were] trying to 

put any water on it, [the fire] 

was already racing up the 

stairs through the house and 

out through the roof.”

picture during a vacation. Photos submitted 

Zachary, 14, and Ayden, 

10, and their pets – three 

dogs Sammy, Buddy and 

Jack and cat Thunder – did 

make it out safely and without 

any injury. 

“Thank God nobody got 

hurt; that was the biggest 

thing,” Paul said. 

Picking up the pieces 

Immediately following 

that morning incident, the 

Renos found refuge at a 

nearby hotel with the help 

of their insurance company. 

From there, Paul spent a 

week returning to the house 

to salvage the rest of their 

things, meeting up with a 

team from Allstate to find out 

what happened and learning 

what steps to take next. 

Paul said he was instructed 

to pick up clothes – at 

least 10 outfits – for himself,

Lincoln-Way D210 Board of Education 

District 210 expected to operate at surplus in FY 2017 

School Board unveils 

tentative fiscal year 

2017 budget 

Meredith Dobes 


The public hearing for 

Lincoln-Way Community 

High School District 210’s 

fiscal year 2017 budget was 

brief on Sept. 6, as just two 

residents presented the board 

with questions regarding the 

district’s tentative budget. 

The tentative budget includes 

a surplus of $2.2 million, 

with approximately 

$86.6 million in revenue and 

approximately $84.3 million 

in expenditures. The numbers 

reflect a decrease in expenditures 

and revenue from the FY 

2016 budget, which included 

a $5.2 million deficit, $101.4 

million in revenue and $106.6 

million in expenditures. 

In a Sept. 9 phone interview, 

District 210 Superintendent 

R. Scott Tingley 

attributed the savings to the 

district’s operation of three 

schools instead of four. 

“After years and years of 

deficits, we’re operating at 

a surplus this year,” he said. 

“... We’re still reviewing this 

document, and we’ll continue 

to develop the budget until 

it’s presented to the board on 

[Sept.] 22.” 

Tingley provided a brief 

presentation at the start of 

the hearing about notable 

changes to the budget, and 

a summary of these changes 

from a previous version of 

the tentative budget is now 

available on the district’s 

website, along with the tentative 

budget. 

The district’s Education 

Fund and Operations and 

Maintenance Fund are set 

to start off the fiscal year at 

negative fund balances of approximately 

$3.7 million and

School District 210 budget for fiscal year 2017, visit

Year 2017 Budget(PDF).” 

“After years and years of deficits, 

we’re operating at a surplus this 

year. ... We’re still reviewing this 

document, and we’ll continue 

to develop the budget until it’s 

presented to the board on [Sept.] 22.” 

— District 210 Superintendent R. Scott Tingley, 

on the tentative fiscal year 2017 budget 

$4.8 million, respectively, 

to reflect the district’s outstanding 

$20 million in tax 

anticipation warrants and $6 

million in loans payable/receivable. 

Also in the budget, the 

district moved $870,000 in 

services provided to other 

districts from the O&M Fund 

to the Transportation Fund, 

and the Transportation Fund 

includes a $1.8 million interfund 

loan from the Working 

Cash Fund to the Transportation 

Fund, as well as repayment 

of the loan. 

New Lenox resident Steve 

Wahlert asked the board a few 

questions about the process 

by which the budget was prepared, 

referencing the Illinois 

State Board of Education’s 

“Mechanics of a School District 

Budget” guide. 

He said that while the district’s 

process this year is a 

“better effort than what got 

us into trouble,” he wanted 

to be sure the district would 

follow State law regarding 

amendments and revisions to 

the budget. 

According to the ISBE 

document, a school district 

can amend its budget by following 

the same process for 

the budget’s original approval: 

post notice of a budget 

hearing and where the budget 

can be viewed for public inspection; 

hold a public hearing 

on the amended budget; 

adopt the amended budget 

at a public meeting following 

the public hearing; and 

submit the amended budget 

electronically to ISBE within 

30 days of adoption. 

Wahlert said he asked an 

ISBE representative whether 

State law would allow spending 

10 percent over budget. 

According to the “Mechanics 

of a School District Budget” 

guide, if a change in 

the budget in the amount of 

less than 10 percent could be 

made by transferring funds 

between line items, this is allowed. 

However, if a change 

results in increased estimated 

total expenditures, a formal 

amendment is needed. 

Wahlert said he was also 

told the district could submit 

an amended budget until 

May, if needed. Tingley said 

he expects that at some point 

in the 2017 fiscal year, the 

district will need to submit an 

amended budget. 

“When you’re looking at 

a budget this large with as 

many changing factors as we 

have, there is a possibility 

that adjustments will need to 

be made based on the timing 

of state funding and tax distributions,” 

Tingley said. “In 

terms of expenditures, these 

are certainly estimates based 

on estimates of the past, but at 

the same time we’re operating 

three high schools which 

we haven’t for several years.” 

He added that this year, 

with a new business team 

in place, the district has put 

more time and effort into this 

budget. 

Board Member Christopher 

Lucchetti added that this 

year, the board set up contingency 

accounts for its education 

and transportation funds, 

and Wahlert said he thought 

that was an important step 

forward. 

Tinley Park resident Robert 

Ripp also asked the board a 

few questions about the budget, 

including what the district’s 

financial profile score 

would be if the FY 17 budget 

went according to plan. Tingley 

said he was not sure. 

Ripp also noted that one of 

the district’s board goals is to 

develop a five-year financial 

forecast, and he asked whether 

this had been done. Tingley 

said this was done as part of 

last year’s PMA Financial 

Network presentation, though 

it had not been broken down 

activity by activity. 

Finance and Building 

Committee 

Following the budget hearing, 

the regular meeting of 

the district’s Finance and 

Building Committee was 

held. 

The committee discussed 

an overall decrease in utilities 

and maintenance spending 

in August, as well an 

asphalt and roof evaluation 

for Lincoln-Way Central and 

Lincoln-Way East. 

Tingley said the estimate 

for the asphalt evaluation is 

estimated at approximately 

$8,000, and the roof evaluation 

is estimated at approximately 

$16,000. The 

estimates are from DLA Architects. 

The committee briefly discussed 

the merits of using 

DLA or another firm, and 

Tingley explained that to 

negotiate prices, the district 

has to use its architect. To 

go with another company, it 

would first have to select the 

company and then be able to 

evaluate prices. 

The item is expected to be 

brought before the Board at 

its next regular meeting at 7 

p.m. Thursday, Sept. 22, at 

Lincoln-Way Central.

Free golf scramble to benefit scholarships 

Rebecca Susmarski 

Contributing Editor 

A traditional Frankfort 

Square Park District event is 

to assume a new form later 

this month, and the event’s organizers 

hope the change will 

benefit many area students. 

The FSPD is to host its 

11th annual College Scholarship 

Golf Tournament, this 

time in a free all-day golf 

scramble format, from 9:30 

a.m. until dusk Sept. 24 at the 

Square Links Golf Course in 

Frankfort. 

Attendees will not be 

charged a fee to golf, but all 

other purchases they make 

that day — such as golf cart 

rentals and hot dog lunches 

— will benefit the FSPD’s 

College Scholarship Program, 

which provides $1,000 

scholarships to high school 

seniors who reside within the 

boundaries of the FSPD. 

Jim Randall, executive 

director of the FSPD, said 

the College Scholarship 

Golf Tournament has raised 

$84,000 for student scholarships 

since its inception 

in 2006. The event usually 

raises about $10,000 each 

year, but with the new golf 

scramble format, the FSPD 

aims to attract many more 

golfers and raise double that 

amount this year. 

“We hope that everybody 

has the opportunity to come 

out and play, and with the 

scramble going all day we 

hope many people will be 

able to come out and enjoy 

the course, too,” Randall said. 

Golfers can try to get a 

hole-in-one on the course’s 

seventh hole to win free golf, 

driving range use and golf 

cart rental at Square Links 

for five years. On the same 

hole, attendees can also try 

to golf better than Ken Buss, 

a Professional Golfers’ Association 

professional at the 

Square Links Golf Course, 

for a prize. All golfers will 

also be entered into a raffle 

following the event. 

Randall said the FSPD invited 

officials from local government 

entities in Frankfort, 

Mokena, New Lenox, Tinley 

Park and Manhattan to attend 

the event, as well as members 

of various homeowners associations 

and the Lincoln-Way 

Community High School 

District 210 Board of Education 

members. Many of the 

officials are to participate in a 

pre-tournament from 7-9 a.m. 

before the main event begins. 

“I think there’s been a lot 

going on in our area the past 

couple of years, and I think 

if people are aware of who 

people are and get a chance 

to visit, things always move 

along in a better direction,” 

Randall said. “To bring a 

bunch of people committed 

to service together and have 

fun for a day, that’s not a bad 

thing either.” 

Randall said the idea for the 

golf outing came about when 

the FSPD’s Board of Commissioners 

agreed to start a 

fundraiser to ensure more 

Frankfort Square students 

would be represented in the 

area when it came to receiving 

student scholarships. The 

event has been held in July 

every year since 2006 — the 

FSPD moved it to the fall for 

the first time this year — and 

students apply in December 

of the same year to receive 

the scholarships in the spring 

of the following year. 

Randall said the annual 

outing also allows golfers to 

improve their game by playing 

at the Square Links, which 

he said is both challenging for 

seasoned golfers and a solid 

course for beginners. The 

short distance of the course

frequently causes players to 

use their putters more and 

gain more practice with making 

close shots and reducing 

strokes, Randall said. 

The new scramble format 

also has a team-building 

aspect that Randall hoped 

would convince many golfers 

to come out and support 

a good cause, but also to 

have fun. 

“Instead of making one 

good shot by yourself you 

have three or more people 

who can support you, so 

someone may have a more 

playable shot than you might 

have had when you played 

your golf,” Randall said. 

“Everyone loves the scramble 

format so there’s not as 

much pressure on the event.”

ing at a computer that was 

mounted on the fire wall of 

the car. Something in there 

probably sparked and started 

the fire. The explosion everyone 

heard was probably 

the battery, and by that time, 

it was too late. Everything 

was fully engulfed.” 

Paul shared the first week 

after the fire, he tried to stay 

strong for his family, but 

eventually, he became overwhelmed 

with emotion. 

“By the end of the week, 

I just couldn’t anymore,” he 

noted. “I just lost my house. 

I have to go do something. 

I have to get my mind off of 

this – even if it’s just for four 

hours. You have to get away 

from it. You can’t do anything 

about it. If you let it dwell, it’s 

going to eat you inside.” 

Looking ahead 

He returned back to work. 

Joy, too, is gearing up and preparing 

to return to Dr. Julian 

Rogus School in Frankfort. 

Zachary just started his 

freshman year at Lincoln- 

Way West High School, and 

Ayden begam fifth grade at 

Nelson Ridge School. 

“[Joy’s] had a little tougher 

time than probably any of 

us,” Paul said. 

What has helped them all 

get through it so far is seeing 

the sight of the New Lenox 

community come together. 

In fact, even Joy’s students 

visited her “that evening because 

they were so upset” 

and they wanted “to make 

sure that Mrs. Reno was 

OK,” Paul said. 

“The outpouring from the 

community has been phenomenal,” 

Paul said, noting 

that what he and his family 

have taken away from this 

trial is “that there’s good 

people out there, and they’re 

right next door to you.”

suicide 

From Page 3 

spoken to his sister or father 

for 15 years, but the suicide 

helped bring his family 

back together. 

That fact was his “message 

of hope to anyone 

dealing with a loved one’s 

suicide.” 

“I told my wife I’m never 

letting these people go, 

ever, and we have had the 

most wonderful relationship 

because we fought for that,” 

he said, as he had been stoic 

while telling his story, but 

was at that point moved to 

tears. “Nothing is worth 

that separation, and we 

never know how much time 

we have left. My sister and 

I have never been closer, 

and my dad and I had the 

best relationship for 11 

years a guy could ever had 

with his father, because 

we took what was bad and 

made something good out 

of it.” 

Among the attendees of 

the event was Laura Wallace, 

of Schererville, Indiana, 

who has survived two 

suicide attempts. Wallace 

became depressed in the 

spring of 2007, three years 

after sustaining a traumatic 

brain injury when she was 

struck by a garbage truck. 

She was prescribed antidepressants, 

but the pharmaceuticals 

provided no 

relief. 

“I was just feeling like 

nothing’s going to change; 

I’m not going to get better,” 

she recalled. “I wanted it to 

be over; I wanted the pain 

to end. I had a hard time 

functioning.” 

After another bout with 

depression in 2014, Wallace 

was diagnosed as bipolar 

and was prescribed medication 

that worked, and she 

has been doing well since. 

Family members have told 

her she seems like a different 

person, she said. 

“I feel very fortunate and 

blessed that I’m still here,” 

she said.

“As a REALTOR ® , it’s my responsibility to highlight the features of a home to 

homebuyers. Safety is a hot topic in today’s homes and that’s why I make sure to 

educate my homebuyers about home fire sprinklers. 

I encountered a fire in my childhood home, so I am able to speak from experience 

about the dangers of fire. Before I realized it, the smoke became even more dangerous 

than the fire. My family lost almost everything and we were without a home for almost 

a year. In fact, we never moved back into that house. 

If we had fire sprinklers, it would have been a much better situation. Fire sprinklers 

are individually activated by heat so they don’t all activate at once. They control or 

extinguish a fire while it is still small, prevent the spread of toxic smoke and allow 

residents to safely escape. 

When I was a kid, it was unheard of to see 

a home with fire sprinklers. Today, more 

than 100 communities in Illinois require 

fire sprinklers when a new home is built. 

For me, it is a relief when I can show one 

of my buyers a sprinklered home, because 

I know the family will not have the same 

experience I had.” 

Riverside’s board-certified oncologists lead a team of experts 

dedicated to helping you face your cancer journey with confidence.

FROM THE ORLAND PARK PRAIRIE 

Four men in custody following 

alleged jewelry store robbery 

attempt 

Four men reportedly are in custody 

after what police are describing 

as a “smash and grab type of theft” 

attempt the morning of Thursday, 

Sept. 8, at an Orland Park jewelry 

store in the 15100 block of La- 

Grange Road. 

The theft was thwarted by an 

off-duty Orland Park police officer 

who was working security at the 

store at the time, according to an 

alert issued the afternoon of Sept. 

8. 

Around 10:57 a.m. Sept. 8, 

one of the stores in the area of 

15100 LaGrange Road reported 

a suspicious circumstance at a 

jewelry store, according to an 

earlier alert issued by the Orland 

Park Police Department. An offduty 

officer working security 

reportedly was approached by a 

male that attempted to lure him out 

of the store. That man was thought 

to be concealing a miniature 

sledgehammer with a wooden 

handle, according to Orland Park 

Police Cmdr. John Keating. 

The suspect left and met with 

three other men in the parking lot, 

Keating said. It reportedly was 

at that point the off-duty officer 

called the department for assistance. 

The male who approached the 

officer and three other subjects 

waiting outside the store ran from 

the area when approached by uniformed 

officers, according to the 

first alert. They reportedly ran eastbound 

across LaGrange Road. 

Three of the four males were apprehended 

immediately, while one 

remained at large for a short time 

but was apprehended by 1:05 p.m., 

according to a second alert.

FROM THE MOKENA MESSENGER 

Tinley girls raise funds for My 

Joyful Heart through garage sale 

A pair of Tinley Park sisters, 

Hannah and Allie Johnston, and 

Sarah and Elaine Andrews, recently 

completed a two-day fundraiser 

for Mokena-based charity, 

My Joyful Heart. 

Inspired by Disney’s Friends 

for Change project, the four girls 

— ranging from 10-13 years 

old — decided they wanted 

to do something generous 

for a local charity. Their idea 

was to organize a garage 

sale at one of their homes. As 

a result, they raised more than 

$2,000, all of which directly 

benefitted My Joyful Heart. 

Along with donated items, Allie 

Johnston said that Elaine Andrews 

and a few other people baked pastries 

to sell at the garage sale. 

Finally, the girls had a raffle 

prize. They sold the tickets for $1 

each, with the prize being a $50 

gift card to a local restaurant and 

tickets to see a movie. The girls 

said that more than 100 tickets 

were sold during their garage sale. 

To push them to their 

final total, the girls said a 

family member heard about 

why the group was organizing a 

garage sale, so they took it upon 

themselves to donate almost $500 

by themselves. 

After school Sept. 7, the girls 

delivered their earnings to My 

Joyful Heart. Executive Director 

Diane Carroll said she was more 

than thrilled to learn how well the 

girls had done in their fundraiser. 

“I love kids helping kids,” 

Carroll said. “The money raised 

will finish our budget to be able to 

purchase enough socks, underwear 

and uniform clothes for our new 

students this year.”

FROM THE FRANKFORT STATION 

Police looking for armed male 

who allegedly robbed a Frankfort 

Speedway 

Frankfort police are seeking 

the public’s help in locating a 

man responsible for an armed 

robbery the evening of Sept. 7 at 

Speedway gas station at 22305 

S. Center Road in Frankfort, 

according to a press release issued 

the next day by the Frankfort 

Police Department. 

A lone man reportedly entered 

the business around 9:54 p.m., 

displayed a silver handgun and 

demanded money, police said. He 

took a “small amount” of cash and 

fled the scene eastbound on foot, 

according to the press release. 

No one was harmed in the incident, 

police added. 

The man suspected of the 

armed robbery was described 

as a white male, 20-25 years 

old, of slender build, with a thin 

goatee or mustache, wearing a 

maroon hooded sweatshirt, black 

jacket and sunglasses. 

A Speedway employee observed 

a silver Jeep exit the south entrance 

of the property, according to the 

press release. Though the man 

initially fled in a different direction 

than the vehicle, police are still 

looking into the possibility that the 

vehicle was connected rather than 

a “coincidence” that it left the lot 

around the same time, because only 

the man and a clerk were inside the 

store at the time of the incident, 

Deputy Chief Kevin Keegan said.

FROM THE HOMER HORIZON 

Schilling School third-grader 

reportedly dies ‘suddenly’ 

A third-grader from Homer 

Community Consolidated School 

District 33C died this week, according 

to a letter sent to parents 

Sept. 7 by Superintendent Kara 

Coglianese. 

The student, who was a thirdgrader 

at Schilling School, reportedly 

died at home “suddenly” and 

was not named by the district. 

“Words cannot express our grief 

and heartfelt sympathy,” Coglianese 

wrote in the letter. 

The cause of death was considered 

natural, according to Will 

County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman 

Kathy Hoffmeyer. Hoffmeyer 

said deputies were called 

to the child’s home shortly before 

8 a.m. Sept. 7, and the child was 

pronounced dead at the scene by 

the Will County Coroner’s Office, 

with an autopsy scheduled to be 

performed. 

“Out of respect to the family, we 

are not going to say anything about 

it,” Hoffmeyer said. “At this time, 

we are not conducting any further 

investigation. ... It is a tragic 

incident.” 

Coglianese said the district will 

have psychologists and social 

workers available for both students 

and staff throughout the week. She 

also encouraged parents to support 

their children, as well as monitor 

cellphones and email to anticipate 

their needs. 

Charla Brautigam, Homer 33C’s 

communications and public relations 

manager, added that licensed 

therapy dogs were to be at the 

school Thursday, Sept. 8, and that 

no memorials for the student were 

planned as of press time.

FROM THE LOCKPORT LEGEND 

Upcoming block party to entertain, 

highlight faith 

With vacations, warm weather 

and endless activities, it is easy to 

let things slide during the summer. 

And sometimes, that includes 

church, according to the Rev. Mitzi 

Blanchard of Cross Point Church 

in Lockport. 

“It’s also a good reminder — 

during the summer, people are 

busy, they go on vacation and 

they’re having a lot of fun,” she 

said. “But sometimes, the importance 

of church gets lost.” 

But one event at Dellwood Park 

in Lockport hopes to bring together 

community members of faith and 

introduce would-be church-goers 

to local congregations through a 

block party with a diverse array of 

entertainment and worship. 

The first Dellwood Park Block 

Party is slated to take place from 1 

p.m.- 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18, and 

will include four Christian worship 

artist performances, family-friendly 

sketch comedy, food and booths 

from local churches, culminating 

with a unity worship. The event is 

free and open to the public. 

The Block Party also coincides 

with national Back to Church Sunday 

— an annual campaign in its 

seventh year encouraging church 

attendance, and asks new members 

to welcome their friends to 

their church. Nearly 30,000 U.S. 

churches across denominations are 

expected to participate this year.

FROM THE TINLEY JUNCTION 

Man charged after allegedly 

toppling Zabrocki Plaza fountain 

Village officials are debating the 

future of the fountain in Zabrocki 

Plaza after it was toppled for the 

second time since 2010. 

Police received a complaint of 

vandalism to the fountain around 

2:50 a.m. Sept.4, but by the time 

they arrived the alleged perpetrator 

had fled. 

A man allegedly climbed and 

toppled the fountain located in the 

plaza on the southeast corner of 

173rd Place and Oak Park Avenue. 

Police worked to identify and 

locate the suspect, and Daniel Mc- 

Donald, of the 18100 block of Rita 

Road in Tinley Park, was taken 

into custody the afternoon of Sept. 

4 and charged with criminal damage 

to property, a Class 2 felony, 

according to Tinley Park Police 

Chief Steve Neubauer. 

This is not the first incidence of 

vandalism to the fountain. In 2010, 

the fountain reportedly was toppled 

in an incident that was similar 

to the one that occurred Sept. 4. 

The 2010 incident required nearly 

$38,000 in repairs, Village Manager 

Dave Niemeyer said. 

“It’s unfortunate,” Niemeyer 

said. “It’s a nice centerpiece of 

downtown, and all I can say is 

it’s really unfortunate that people 

would vandalize it.” 

Neubauer said that there are no 

plans in the works to provide more 

surveillance to Zabrocki Plaza, but 

the area already is observed by 

cameras, which helped police identify 

the suspect. 

The fountain’s long-term future 

is not yet decided, Niemeyer said. 

Until the decision is made, the 

base is to remain in place, and the 

fountain will remain in a public 

works garage, Niemeyer said.

Suicide is the 10th 

leading cause of death 

in the United States 

with 42,773 Americans dying 

each year, according to 

the most accurate research 

provided by the American 

Foundation for Suicide 

Prevention. 

And that significant number 

is probably tripled or 

quadrupled when it comes 

to those affected by it. With 

that said, I’m pleased to find 

that New Lenox has made 

the effort to accommodate 

those who lost a loved one 

or those who are in danger 

of losing a loved one that 

way. On Sept. 7, the New 

Lenox Safe Communities 

America Coalition and 

Sertoma Centre Inc. hosted 

A Pathway to Hope and 

Healing in support of World 

Suicide Prevention Day. 

The event featured an 

information expo that 

provided warning signs 

and risk factors of suicide, 

a panel discussion featuring 

people of all walks of 

life who have been affected 

by suicide, and the newest 

addition to the event was a 

Remembrance and Awareness 

Walk. 

Suicide is a touchy 

subject. It’s not one that 

all people can openly 

talk about. So, to provide 

an avenue for everyone 

who has been affected by 

suicide, to come together 

in an environment where 

they could be comfortable 

with one another and talk 

about it is enlightening. And 

something like this doesn’t 

occur in New Lenox once 

a year. New Lenox Police 

Department’s Public Safety 

Division Chief Dan Martin 

hosts Healing Hearts Support 

Group meetings every 

month for people to work 

through their grief, share experiences 

and stories. Each 

meeting has a different topic 

and has a guest speaker. 

Talking to Dan about 

those efforts, he said the 

participation can go as low 

as one couple and high as 

ten people. But no matter 

the attendance, I’m proud

Library introduces children to 

coding in new Coding Club 

Amanda Del Buono 


At just 11 years old, both 

Alex Mosel and Dave Shaw 

have aspirations to be video 

game makers, likely inspired 

by their shared love 

of “Minecraft.” 

“I want to make an advanced 

version of ‘Pong,’” 

Shaw said. 

“What’s ‘Pong?’” Mosel 

asked. 

“It’s like a really old video 

game,” Shaw said, as he 

added beads to his piece of 

yarn. 

On Sunday, Sept. 3, the 

two boys, along with nearly 

a dozen other third- through 

sixth-grade children, participated 

in the New Lenox 

Public Library’s newest 

STEM/STEAM program 

called Coding Club. That 

Saturday’s Coding IRL (In 

Real Life) session was the 

first of three the library will 

host. 

“A lot of kids want to build 

video games, and this gives 

them an idea of what is involved 

in that,” said Carolyn 

Boyer, youth services assistant 

at the library. “ … We’re 

trying to do more STEM/ 

STEAM programs and kids 

have been requesting coding 

books and different things 

on computers.” 

Although Mosel and Shaw 

said that coding seems harder 

than they thought it would 

be, neither has been deterred, 

and both are excited to continue 

learning about coding. 

According to Boyer, the 

library has been implementing 

STEM programs, which 

focus on science, technology, 

engineering and math, 

for children at the library. 

The programs are designed 

Grace Lustig learns how to 

code her name. 

Ethan Garrison listens 

intently to the STEM lesson. 

to help pique interest in various 

areas of study, she said. 

“The trend now is actually 

doing STEAM, which 

is science, technology, engineering, 

art and math, and 

we do have a really great 

art program, and we started 

the Mini Mad Science Lab” 

Boyer said. “Last year, we 

did a Tinker Lab where we 

took apart computers, so 

they could see the parts inside.” 

During Coding Club, the 

children used the binary alphabet 

to create necklaces 

out of yarn and beads, introducing 

them to the binary 

code and how computers 

work. Each child spelled his 

or her name in binary code 

with red, white and black 

beads on their necklace. 

“You might come up

Boyer (right), youth services assistant, help participants

could make a necklace that represents his name in code.

Coding Club participants work on their name code 

necklaces. 

with a great idea for a video 

game, but how do you make 

it come to life?” Boyer said 

to the children while they 

made their necklaces. “How 

do you make the computer 

do it?” 

Once they had completed 

their necklaces, the children 

participated in an activity 

during which one acted as 

the computer and the other 

was the programmer. The 

two had to work together 

to complete a task with the 

“programmer” telling the 

“computer” how to complete 

the task. 

“It’s just to pique interest 

and give them skills or ideas 

they didn’t have before,” 

Boyer said. “Kids use technology, 

but do they really 

know how it works.” 

The Coding Club will 

continue with the next session, 

Makerspace Sneak 

Peek, taking place Saturday, 

Oct. 1. Children will be able 

to test out some of the library’s 

Ozobots and Cubelet 

robot blocks and learn how 

to program them. 

The final session, Coding, 

will take place Saturday, 

Oct. 29.

The Dish 

Bear Down Barbecue brings smoked meat, labor of love to Frankfort 

James Sanchez 

Editor 

Come enjoy our 

expanded office– 

We’re excited to see you & 

your family’s smiles! 

Bear Down Barbecue & Catering Company owner Rashid 

Riggins sprinkles his secret pork rub onto a slab of St. 

Louis spare ribs ($23.25 for full slab, $12.25 for half) 

midway through its cooking process. 

Rashid Riggins got started 

in the food industry by parking 

his trailer smoker at carnivals 

all throughout Will, 

DuPage, Kane and Cook 

counties for three years before 

he and his fiancé, Marsha, 

recently opened Bear 

Down Barbecue & Catering 

Company in Frankfort. 

As unconventional a path 

as that may seem to some, 

Riggins looks at it as the traditional 

route. 

“Pitmasters cook under the 

sun,” Riggins said. “Where 

would you get the opportunity 

to cook under the sun if 

not for outdoor events? I’m 

not a culinary French chef. 

I’m not making French cuisine, 

Asian cuisine, European 

cuisine. I’m a pitmaster. I’m 

smoking meat. That’s generally 

done under the sun. ... It 

was a perfect progression as a 

pitmaster.” 

Riggins went from barbecuing 

on his $40 grill from 

Kmart to having six smokers 

and grills on his backyard 

deck. And inside Bear 

Down lies his most recent 

purchase — a 2-ton smoker 

— which permeates the air in 

the parking lot outside of the 

restaurant, tucked inside the 

Frankfort Town Center off 

LaGrange Road. 

More than 300 pounds 

of meat could be placed in 

Riggins’ rotisserie smoker, 

and cooked with his 

preference of cherry and oak 

wood. A cut that will always 

hit the rack is a St. Louis 

spare rib Riggins prepares 

with a foiling process. 

While most barbecue 

joints expose their ribs on 

the smoker from start to finish, 

Riggins takes them out 

after three-and-a-half hours, 

reapplies a coat of his pork 

rub, and bastes it with a spray 

mixture of apple cider vinegar 

and other ingredients 

he will not divulge. Then, he 

wraps them in foil before putting 

them back on the smoker 

for a few more hours. 

“It gives the chance of another 

layer of flavor, while 

making the rib more tender,” 

he said of the foiling process. 

The labor of love also is put 

into his pork shoulder for the 

Power Sweeping Pulled Pork 

Sandwich ($7.25). The meat 

consists of the secret rub and 

an injection of a savory pork 

marinade, before hitting the 

smoker for 13 hours. The 

meat is pulled to order, while 

simmering in a vat of its own 

juices, and can be topped

with a traditional homemade

It is only fitting that the 

Chicago Bears-themed restaurant 

opened in the midst of 

the NFL’s preseason. The first 

thing one will notice after the 

aroma is that each side of the 

wall is draped with Bears’ decor 

and signed memorabilia,

The Power Sweeping Pulled Pork Sandwich ($7.25), which 

is smoked for 13 hours, is one of Riggins’ favorites on the 

menu and can be topped with his homemade cole slaw for 

a $1 upcharge. James Sanchez/22nd Century Media 

“This isn’t just for show,” 

Riggins said, pointing at the 

walls. “You ask me a question 

about the Bears, I’ll 

know it, because I love the 

Bears like I love barbecue.” 

His culinary journey began 

with preparing meals weekly 

for friends and family in his 

neighborhood before Bears 

games, which inspired the 

restaurant’s theme. 

“My two passions were 

tied together immediately,” 

he said. Fridays, I would be 

getting antsy and go to the 

store and pick out the perfect 

things to serve for the Bears 

game. That’s where it all began, 

and it went on to me being 

on my deck cooking six 

days a week.” 

Now, it has evolved to 

owning his own restaurant, 

and it hasn’t all soaked in 

just yet, he said. Years of trial 

and error — as well as studying 

pitmasters from all regions 

— have paid off. A lot 

has changed since he wore a 

shirt and tie, working human 

resources for the City of Chicago. 

Now, he puts on gloves 

and an apron to cook barbecue 

for the masses. 

“Oprah calls it an ‘aha moment,’” 

Riggins said. “This 

thing has been in my brain 

and in my dreams, and it’s 

never been in reality. So to 

walk in here and see what I

Heritage Quilters Guild to display quilts at show 

Showcase to take 

place at Liberty Jr. 

High Sept. 17-18 

Max Lapthorne 


It rubs Sue Barnhill the 

wrong way when people simply 

refer to quilting as a craft, 

because she thinks of it as 

more of an art. 

Barnhill and the other approximately 

90 members of 

the Heritage Quilters Guild 

are to have their works of 

art on display Sept. 17-18 at 

the guild’s “Harvest of Quilts 

Show.” The guild, which is 

based in Lockport, hosts a 

show once every two years, 

but this year has a special 

meaning as it is the 35th anniversary 

of the guild’s inception, 

said Barnhill, co-chairwoman 

of the quilt show. 

“It’s the biggest show 

we’ve ever had,” she said. 

“We’re excited.” 

The Heritage Quilters 

Guild meets at the Lockport 

VFW on the second Tuesday 

of every month between September 

and May for social 

quilting. The guild only puts 

on the “Harvest of Quilts” 

show once every two years 

because of all the preparation 

that goes into planning the 

event and creating the quilts. 

“We women work all 

year long on making quilts,” 

Barnhill said. “Some quilts 

take women months to do the 

hand work.” 

At this year’s show, there 

are to be more than 350 quilts 

on display in addition to a variety 

of other attractions such 

as a quilt book sale, a silent 

auction, raffles and free sewing 

paraphenalia handouts. 

There is also to be a woman at 

the show giving quilt appraisals 

to attendees, which could 

save them hundreds of dollars 

when it comes to home 

insurance, Barnhill said. She 

had a quilt appraised recently 

and found out it was worth 

$1,200 because of the fabric 

it was made from, and if 

something would have happened 

to the quilt without it 

being appraised, she would 

have received almost nothing 

from insurance. 

“If people have quilts, they 

really should have them appraised 

because it’s really to 

their benefit,” she said. 

Another treat for this 

year’s attendees is a display 

of 28 award-winning quilts 

from the Pilgrim/Roy Collection 

that is to be available for 

people to see. 

Barnhill hopes the show 

gives herself and her fellow 

guild members an opportunity 

to show the community 

what they’re capable of creating 

while also helping to 

fund the organization. Funds 

raised are to go toward paying 

for classes for the guild so 

the members can continue to 

grow and improve their skills. 

“Quilting is mental therapy 

because you can just get lost 

in the creativity and the calm 

it gives you,” Barnhill said. 

“And when you’re done you 

have something beautiful you 

can give to your family.” 

The Heritage Quilters Guild 

has grown substantially since 

its early days several decades 

ago, and Barnhill now sees it 

as a big part of her life. 

“It started with a small 

group of a dozen women and 

it’s my hobby — it’s my extracurricular,” 

she said. 

Barnhill has been a part 

of the guild for 22 years so 

she has been to a number of 

shows, and her favorite part is 

watching attendees when they 

first come through the door. 

“[I enjoy] watching people’s 

reactions when they 

come in, especially if they 

haven’t been before,” she 

said. 

When most people arrive 

at the show for the first time, 

they immediately want to 

touch all the quilts they see 

hanging and displayed everywhere, 

Barnhill said. To facilitate 

that, the guild provides 

plastic gloves to attendees so 

they can freely touch all the 

quilts. While some quilters 

don’t like their quilts being 

handled too much, Barnhill 

likes for her quilts to be used. 

“A quilt isn’t really a quilt 

unless it’s been slept under,” 

she said. “I don’t make quilts 

that hang on walls.” 

The quilt that is to be raffled off at the Sept. 17 “Harvest of 

Quilts” show. Photo submitted 

In the coming months, 

Barnhill is moving to Wisconsin, 

but she plans on 

maintaining her membership 

in the Heritage Quilters Guild 

and making the 5 ½ hour trip 

288410_5.5_x_5.indd 1 

frequently to attend meetings 

and shows. 

“We’ve really got it all in 

there, and we’ve got such a 

talented group of women,” 

she said. “It’s just a very 

nice, friendly, giving group.” 

The show is to take place 

at Liberty Jr. High, 151 

Lenox St., New Lenox from 

10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sept. 17 and 

10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sept. 18.

Huguelet opens two new developments 

The Huguelet Company, announced 

the Grand Opening 

of a new ranch town home 

model at the Bridges of Mokena. 

The Bridges of Mokena 

Townhomes features 58 duplex 

ranch sites while their Ginger 

Creek location features 38 single 

family custom home sites. 

The Bridges of Mokena Townhomes 

are ranch plans priced 

from $337,900. Each unit is 

well appointed with quality 

materials, amenities, and features. 

Each unit is a much 

sought after end unit with a 

private covered entry and 

maintenance free deck. The 

development includes Chicago 

Water, Frankfort 157 C Schools 

and the Lincoln Way High 

School district. 

The overall land-plan and 

streets cape offers a quaint residential 

setting. The duplex 

townhomes are set amid a series 

of tree lined boulevards, 

private cul de sacs, and is adjacent 

to a large nature area with 

a pond. The site is professionally 

landscaped with a generous 

assortment of shrubs, 

plantings, and trees. To provide 

a green lush landscape appearance 

an in-ground lawn 

irrigation system is also included. 

Unlike other developments, 

however, The Bridges of Mokena 

Townhomes offers a noteworthy 

cost savings design feature. 

The sprinkler system 

draws water from the pond in 

order to eliminate watering 

bills for the homeowners association, 

as well as individual 

unit owners. 

The exterior elevations are 

attractive and have incorporated 

a variety of roof lines, 

Single family in Ginger Creek 

transom windows, gables, and 

other accent features. Exteriors 

include brick on all four sides, 

boxed out accent windows, and 

architectural grade shingles. 

With the tough Chicago winter 

climate, Huguelet noted the 

importance of including quality 

energy efficient building materials. 

Each new Huguelet 

townhome includes name 

brand Andersen 400 Series 

windows throughout. High efficiency 

furnaces and a/c units 

are standard. For those who 

like to tinker in their garage 

each unit includes three vented 

windows and metal insulated 

overhead doors. Driveways feature 

a brushed “California” finish. 

Lookout sites include a spacious 

maintenance free deck. 

The interior features and 

amenities are equally impressive 

as the exteriors. The ranch 

model is 2,120 square feet offering 

2 bedrooms and a study. 

There is an optional 3 bedroom 

layout. The floorplan is well 

designed incorporating 9’ and 

10’ ceilings with well-placed 

windows and niches. Included 

in the base price of each unit is

10 Questions 

with Hunter Campbell 

Hunter Campbell a senior 

at Lincoln-Way Central 

High School. He is also a 

quarterback for the Knights 

varsity football team. 

How did you get started 

playing football? 

Way back when I was just 

about 4 years old my dad got 

us started in sports. I remember 

watching my brother 

play and after watching him 

I decided I love the game. I 

love sitting down and talking 

with my dad about watching 

the pros play and I thought 

maybe I could do that one 

day. So I started when I was 

4 or 5 and been doing it ever 

since. 

What’s your favorite 

part of the game? 

The teamwork with it. You 

can’t play this game without 

11 guys on the field. You 

can’t play with just one person, 

you need a whole team 

to do it. It’s not a solo sport, 

you need everyone to participate 

in order to succeed. 

What’s the hardest 

part? 

Just the hard work that 

we have to do. The amount 

of work that you have to put 

in, in order to be successful. 

No good team just does the 

minimum amount of days 

and just goes through the 

motions. if you want to be a 

good team you go all out and 

that’s the hardest thing, is 

getting that mindset of every 

day giving it your all. 

Do you have any pregame 

superstitions? 

I have a half-singlet shirt, 

it is a very low-cut shirt, kinda 

like a singlet. I wear that 

every single game, I’ve done 

it since freshman year. Other 

than that, I listen to my music 

and go from there. 

Do you have a favorite 

pre-game meal? 

I love eating my fruit 

snacks and Skittles. My 

eighth grade year, I did 

a 7-on-7 with some high 

schoolers and they got 

me into the Skittles. Fruit 

snacks, I just love fruit 

snacks, but the Skittles I’ve 

been doing for a while now. 

What have you learned 

from your coaches at 

Central? 

How important teamwork 

is. How important family is. 

Since coach Cordell came 

here he really taught us all 

about family and how important 

it is to succeed and 

our football family is just 

like our normal family. 

Who is your role model? 

That’s a hard one, but 

I’d say my dad. He’s been 

working hard his whole life. 

When he was younger he 

was in some tough situations. 

He didn’t have all the 

opportunities given to him, 

but he worked hard for them 

and he was successful which 

is something I can look up 

to because not everything in 

life is given to you. You have 

to work for it. 

Who is your favorite 

NFL player? 

It used to be Tony Romo, 

Amanda Jarzynski/22nd 

Century Media 

but I’m gonna have to say 

Russell Wilson. He’s a short 

quarterback, but he never 

lets it stop him. He’s a complete 

beast on the field, he 

goes all out, he never lets 

anyone else out-work him 

and he’s always interested in 

right now and what’s next. 

What is your dream 

vacation? 

I’ve always wanted to 

go to Rio De Janero. Four 

or five years ago we did a 

research project on different 

countries and ever since 

then, I’ve wanted to go there. 

What would you do if 

you won the lottery? 

I would pay off everything 

for my parents and then I’d 

put money away for college. 

I’d pay for my brother’s college. 

I’d just help out my 

family, probably give back 

to the school a little bit, but 

family comes first.

Girls Volleyball 

LW Central downed in two sets by D210 rival, LW East 

Knights continue 

to work on 

communication 

while on court 

Randy Whalen 


As a sophomore last season, 

Madi Corey got pulled 

up to the varsity for the playoff 

run of the Lincoln-Way 

North girls volleyball team. 

That run for the Phoenix 

took them all the way to the 

Elite 8 in the state in Class 

4A. And, although North 

closed at the end of the past 

school year, it also gave Corey 

an opportunity to get varsity 

experience. 

Corey and the rest of the 

returners from North are now 

at Lincoln-Way East. While 

North’s former coach — Mary 

Brown, is now the coach at 

Lincoln-Way Central. 

Last week Corey put the 

teaching she learned from 

Brown to good use as she 

came in for the second set and 

helped lead East to a 25-18, 

25-8 victory over Central in a 

SouthWest Suburban Conference 

crossover on Thursday, 

Sept. 8 in Frankfort. 

The win continued a nice 

start to the season for the 

Griffins (8-2). Central (3-7) 

fell to a local opponent for 

the second time this week. 

“It’s always fun to play a 

rivalry match,” Corey said 

of playing Central. “During 

the playoffs I got pulled up 

by coach Brown. She’s an 

excellent coach and her team 

played well.” 

The Knights hung right in 

there for much of the first set. 

After East opened with four 

straight points, junior outside 

hitter Dom Dixon (3 kills) 

had a kill and junior setter 

Cassidy Wyman (3 aces, 7 

digs) served an ace to tie the 

game at 4-4. 

Soon after junior outside 

hitter Kylie Kulinski had a 

kill and middle hitter Liz 

Neitzel — one of only two 

seniors on the team, had a 

block during a 3-point spurt 

that gave Central its only lead 

of the match at 8-7. 

With the score knotted at 

9-9, LW East senior middle 

hitter Sarah Lewis (4 kills) 

had a kill to trigger a 7-2 burst 

that put the Griffins ahead for 

Central’s Kylie Kulinski practices before the Thursday, 

Sept. 8 match against D210 rivals, Lincoln-Way East in 

Frankfort. James Sanchez/22nd Century Media 

good. Senior outside/right 

side hitter Becca Lilley added 

a kill and junior outside hitter 

Hannah Lesiak (4 kills) and 

senior setter Madeline Morrow(11 

assists, 6 digs) added 

aces in the stretch. 

Back-to-back aces by 

Wyman drew the Knights 

within 16-14, but they 

couldn’t get closer. Another 

7-2 spurt give East a 23-16 

lead. After a couple of Griffins 

errors, Lesiak tipped a 

kill and Lilley laced the game 

winner. 

“We about the fact that we 

needed to match their intensity,” 

East coach Kris Fiore 

said of the opening set. “It 

was close for awhile, but our 

blocking and defense took 

over. 

“Then Madi Corey came in 

[for set 2] and played well. I 

was impressed that we were 

able to play kids all over. We 

had six players with more 

than one kill. We have 11 

or 12 kids that can play and 

we can use a lot of different 

people.” 

Corey (4 kills, 2 assists, 3 

digs) certainly showed she is 

one of them. Playing as a setter/right 

side hitter in the second 

set, she had a pair of kills 

in an opening 6-0 run. The 

Knights never got closer than 

7-2. Kills by junior right side/ 

outside/setter Molly Hackett 

and Lesiak, along with an ace 

from junior defensive specialist 

Kate Bruder extended 

the East advantage to 12-2. 

Central only had back-toback 

points once in set two, 

those were to close within 

16-6. Kills by Corey and junior 

outside hitter Camryn 

Beltz ended the match. 

Junior middle hitter Haley 

Hart (3 kills) and senior libero 

Melanie Weller (6 digs) 

also contributed for East. 

Junior libero Lucy Chesla 

(7 digs) did the same for the 

Knights. 

“We’re working, we’re 

working very hard,” Brown 

said. “But we stopped talking 

to each other in the second 

set. We have to communicate. 

In the first set, we took 

them out of their game plan 

for a while, but they have big 

hitters. 

“[At Central] it’s a new 

team and there’s a lot of inexperience. 

It takes awhile to 

get that going. It’s going to 

take some time, but we need 

to see some wins, see some 

results.” 

East has already seen results, 

but plans to see more 

with the right people in place. 

“We’ve been a work in 

progress, but it’s fun,” Fiore 

said. “We’re meshing, but 

we’re so deep that we can 

move people around.” 

Corey agreed and is looking 

forward to big things the 

rest of the season. 

“Going to East we just all 

connected and it’s been all 

positive,” she said of moving 

schools. “The coolest thing is 

we’ve only been together 2-3 

months. I can’t wait to see 

what happens when we reach 

our full potential.” 

Earlier in the week, on 

Tuesday, Sept. 6, the Griffins 

traveled to Lombard and defeated 

Montini — which finished 

fourth in Class 3A two 

years ago, 25-15, 21-25, 25- 

15. Lesiak (12 kills, 8 blocks) 

and Hart (6 kills 4 blocks) led 

the way. 

Also on Tuesday, Sept. 6, 

Central traveled down Route 

30 to face local rival Providence. 

There the Knights lost 

25-10, 25-22. Chesla had 4 

digs in the match.

Girls Golf 

Knights remain undefeated with win at own invite against five teams 

Lee Edwards 


Lincoln-Way Central won 

the Lincoln-Way Central 

Golf Invitational by nearly 

double digit strokes Thursday, 

Sept. 8, at The Sanctuary 

Golf Course in New 

Lenox. 

The Invitational was a 

nine-hole tournament featuring 

teams from Lincoln- 

Way East, Lincoln-Way 

Central, Lemont High 

School, Sandburg, Lockport 

Township and Mother 

McAuley Liberal Arts High 

School. Schools were allowed 

to have teams of six 

competing, and the round 

was scheduled to begin at 

4 p.m. and conclude at 7:30 

p.m. or before sunset. 

Knights head coach Brian 

Shannon said his school 

hosts the Invitational to simulate 

the conditions of a larger 

tournament for the participating 

schools in order to prepare 

for the postseason. He 

brought his six best from his 

roster of 20 golfers. 

Central came into the invitational 

with an unblemished 

record of 7-0, and Shannon 

hoped his team would continue 

to lead the pack at the 

competition. 

“We’re looking to keep 

the mojo working and head 

strong into the playoffs,” 

Shannon said. “We’re just 

trying to get better every 

day. Just 1 percent better every 

day.” 

He noted The Sanctuary 

Golf Course challenges 

players to keep the ball on 

the fairway with a focus on 

strategic shot placement. 

“We shot a 153 yesterday 

so I’m hoping for a 152 or 

better,” Shannon said. “The 

reason why I like the course 

so much is because it’s not 

just ‘pick out a driver and 

go.’” 

Sandburg Head Coach 

Todd Allen’s expectations 

for his team were fairly high 

going into the competition, 

given his team won the invitational 

last year. His goal 

was for his team to shoot a 

collective 165-170 on the 

day. 

“If the girls play the best 

they can, play to their capability, 

we’ll go from there,” 

Allen said. 

Allen enjoyed the midweek 

big tournament format 

as a change of pace for his 

team. 

“It’s a nine-hole tournament 

but it’s good to be out 

here with different schools,” 

Allen said. “All of our big 

matches are 18 holes, but 

this is a fun experience. 

We’re usually at competitions 

where you have one 

or two teams, so it’s nice to 

Lincoln-Way Central senior Hannah Mastandrea hits 

a tee shot Thursday, Sept. 8, during the Lincoln-Way 

Central Invitational at The Sanctuary Golf Course. Julie 

McMann/22nd Century Media 

have six teams.” 

A few golfers said they 

enjoyed the challenges the 

course provided and played 

with the anticipation of 

shooting low scores. 

Lincoln-Way East junior 

Hannah Hill said it was fun 

playing against new competition. 

She hoped to score 

under a 45 on the day, after 

acknowledging she hadn’t 

played well on her last few 

holes. She finished the day 

with a score of 45, good 

enough for second from her 

school. 

Lockport senior McKenzie 

Ebel said her team’s expectations 

were to place in the 

Top 3, and her personal goal 

was to shoot a 43. Although 

playing in a group of four, 

she said her focus was on the 

holes, not her competition. 

She finished with a score 

of 47. 

“I used to think this was 

the hardest course we played 

in our conference,” Elbe 

said. “Now that I’ve matured 

as a player, I can work 

around the obstacles.” 

Sandburg’s Emilyee Mc- 

Giles, Central’s Bri Bolden 

and Central’s Grace Curran 

were atop the leaderboard 

with overall scores of 38. 

Boys Golf 

Lockport edges Lincoln-Way West by four strokes in conference battle 

RANDY WHALEN 


As the late Yogi Berra 

once said, “it gets late early 

out there.” 

That’s the case especially 

in golf season. While it was 

just after Labor Day, and 

that’s usually when sports 

teams are just settling into 

the fall seasons, it also 

marked the midway point of 

the high school golf regular 

season. 

It also brought a pair of 

teams that are looking toward 

improving by the end 

of the regular season. Those 

were Lockport Township, 

which edged Lincoln-Way 

West 188-192 in a South- 

West Suburban Conference 

crossover boys golf dual 

meet crossover on Tuesday, 

Sept. 6 at Big Run in Lockport. 

“It’s a fast season.” Lockport 

senior John Parker said. 

“A little too fast.” 

Parker finished with a 

team-best 45 for the Porters 

(2-4, 2-4). Best score of the 

day, however, went to West 

senior Pat Potter, who shot 

a 42. While Potter beat the 

Porters, Lockport prevailed 

as as a team since the top 

four all shot under 50, while 

only one other Warrior player 

was under that mark. 

The rest of the Porters 

qualifying scores were senior 

Noah Speechley (47), 

junior Ben Bauer (47) and 

senior Alex Middleton (49). 

Sophomore Collin Phelps 

had a 49 as the only other 

person under 50 for West (4- 

3, 2-3). 

Someone who is focused 

is Potter. He’s been the top 

golfer in leading an improved 

Warrior squad. Not 

bad for someone who is in 

just his third season playing 

the game. 

“I tried out sophomore 

year,” Potter, who was urged 

to tryout by West coach 

Donna Thompson, said. “I 

hit a couple of balls when I 

was young, about 4 [years 

old]. But other than that two 

weeks before tryouts (the 

summer before his sophomore 

season) was the first 

time I swang a club.” 

Potter played baseball, but 

the joys of golf soon made 

him surpass a bat for a club. 

“I played baseball and the 

swing is similar,” Potter said. 

“But I decided I like golf 

better and gave up baseball 

my junior year. I think golf is 

one of the hardest sports, but 

when I hit a good shot I just 

want to do it again. 

“It hooked me in and I 

love the sport. As a team 

we’re doing way better this 

season. Last year we were 

3-13, but we’ve already surpassed 

that. I want to make 

it to state [on Oct. 14-15 at 

the Den at Fox Creek Golf 

Course in Bloomington] and 

play there.” 

After Potter (42) and 

Phelps (49), the rest of the 

West scores were sophomore 

Brendan Kirk (50) and seniors 

Ryan Burdick (51) and 

Nolan Hullinger (51) tying 

for the final fourth posted 

score. Other scores were 

sophomore Dylan Adair (52), 

junior Kirk Hubbs (53) and 

senior Owen Ettema (55). 

“It’s going great and 

we have a young squad,” 

Thompson said. “They just 

have a great attitude. We finished 

fifth at Broken Arrow 

[Lockport Invite on Aug. 27] 

and were just one stroke behind 

Lockport there in a best 

ball format. We finished 11th 

at Plainfield North to start 

the season [Aug. 15], but 

there’s a lot of teams there 

and the previous year we finished 

last. We’ve had a lot of 

improvement.”

Football 

Lockport nips 16-14 to hand Lincoln-Way Central’s first loss 

Randy Whalen 


There was a feeling in the 

air when Lockport Township 

traveled to face Lincoln-Way 

Central in the opening South- 

West Suburban Conference 

football game of season for 

both teams. 

No, it wasn’t the rain - 

which had come earlier in 

the day, but mostly stayed 

away during the game. It 

was a feeling of excitement 

as both teams came in undefeated. 

But in the end it was 

Lockport which forced key 

turnovers and came away 

with a 16-14 victory over the 

Knights on Friday, Sept. 9 in 

New Lenox. 

Tavares Moore (33 carries 

for 175 yards) scored the 

go-ahead touchdown in the 

third quarter and the junior 

was even better than he was 

the previous week (34 carries 

for 169 yards) in Lockport’s 

thrilling 17-15 win over 

South Elgin. 

With the victory the Porters 

(3-0, 1-0) won their first 

three games for the first time 

since 2009. Central (2-1, 0-1) 

last won its first two games 

in 2009 and started 4-0 the 

year before that. It was the 

first meeting between the two 

teams since a 21-0 Knights 

victory in 2012 and first meeting 

in New Lenox since a 37- 

10 Lockport win in 2011. 

“We’re got a lot of great 

kids and our senior leadership 

has been great,” said 

Lockport coach Dan Starkey. 

“The offensive line is getting 

better and the passing game 

will be there. It wasn’t perfect, 

but it was huge to win.” 

Neither team was perfect, 

as each turned the ball over 

three times. But the key turnover 

happened at the end of 

the third quarter. Spurred by 

a 40-yard pass from senior 

quarterback Hunter Campbell 

(8-of-17 for 100 yards, 

2 interceptions) to junior running 

back Mike Morgan on a 

3rd-and-6 play, the Knights 

reached the Lockport 12. 

But on 2nd-and-1 from 

there, senior running back 

Mitch Hosman fumbled the 

ball and senior defensive 

back Eric Jungheim scooped 

it up and returned it 25-yards 

with 30.6 seconds left in the 

third quarter for the Porters. 

“Nick Dado forced it,” 

Jungheim said of the the 

senior linebacker forcing 

the fumble. “I saw it rolling 

and just picked it up. That 

just turned the whole game 

around. It gave the ball back 

to the offense and that secured 

the win for us.” 

It did, but indirectly. Lockport 

was forced to punt from 

near midfield on the ensuing 

possession. But Ben Davis’ 

kick was downed at the Central 

6. On 4th-and-2 from the 

12, senior Devin Smith went 

back to punt. But as he moved 

to his right to get a better angle 

on the kick, Smith instead 

found Porter defenders - including 

senior defensive back 

Dylan Hagan, who tackled 

him for a 3-yard loss. 

“No, that wasn’t a fake 

punt,” Central coach Jeremy 

Cordell said of the play. “But 

we just can’t make those 

[turnover] mistakes. We can’t 

turn the ball over in the red 

zone.” 

The Central defense held 

the Porters out of the end 

zone, but Davis kicked a 24- 

yard field goal with 6:19 to 

play to give Lockport a 16-7 

lead. It was the third field 

goal of the game for the senior. 

“Special teams was a huge 

part of this game,” Starkey 

said. “To go up by nine 

on that third field goal was 

huge.” 

Especially when the 

Knights put together a nineplay, 

71-yard drive which 

was capped on a 6-yard 

touchdown pass from Campbell 

to Smith in the left corner 

of the end zone. Junior 

Dimitri Sereleas added the 

extra point and Central was 

within two points at 16-14 

with 3:35 left in the game. 

The key play in the drive was 

a 32-yard flea-flicker pass 

from Zack Stoklosa to fellow 

junior Matt Pollack down to 

the Lockport 39. 

But behind the running 

of Moore, who carried five 

straight times for 27-yards, 

the Porters were able to run 

out the clock and secure a 

second straight 2-point win. 

“Our defense played well,” 

Starkey said. “We gave up a 

touchdown drive at the end, 

which we weren’t happy 

with, but our offense ran out 

the clock. Getting those first 

downs was huge. Also credit 

to [junior fullback] Austin 

Hoffman, who we call our 

superback. Our offensive line 

was great and Tavares was 

the beneficiary of that.” 

Central got on the board 

first when Hosman (9 carries 

for 81 yards) broke free down 

the right side and galloped in 

from 65-yards out on the last 

play of the first quarter to 

take a 7-0 lead. 

The Porters capped a 10- 

play drive with a 27-yard 

field goal by Davis with 3:20 

left in the first half. Junior defensive 

back Zach Reese then 

intercepted Campbell, giving 

the ball to Lockport at its own 

41 with 53.8 seconds left in 

the half. 

A 22-yard run by Davis, 

down to the 22, helped set up 

his own field goal. This one 

from 39-yards out, to end the 

half and draw the Porters to 

within 7-6 at intermission. 

Davis (6-of-15 for 40 

yards, 3 interceptions) didn’t 

have the best day passing. but 

he made up for it by kicking 

the three field goals and none 

of his three interceptions led 

to points.

home matchup against Lockport. Photos by Jason Maholy/22nd Century Media 

But unfortunately for the 

Knights, both of Campbell’s 

did. His second one, a pick 

by Jungheim just 1:21 into 

the second half, gave Lockport 

the ball at the Central 48. 

Four plays later the Porters 

faced 4th-and-2 at the 26, but 

Moore gained six yards for a 

first down. 

Another 4th-and-2 followed, 

this one from the 12. 

Once again, Lockport went 

for it and Moore motored, 

nearly untouched, up the 

middle for a 12-yard TD run 

to cap the 9-play drive and 

give the Porters a 13-7 lead. 

“First off it shows the 

confidence the coaches have 

in me to give me the ball,” 

Moore said of getting the call 

on the key fourth down situations. 

“On [the second one] I 

just saw touchdown.” 

It continues the odyssey 

for Moore, who had a few 

carries for minus-1 in the 

season opening win 20-9 win 

at Downers Grove North. But 

he has substituted for senior 

John Snidanko, who is still 

out with an injury, and gained 

over 400 yards from scrimmage 

[including passing 

yards] the past 2 weeks. 

Central’s Trey Lyons catches the ball in midair against 

Lockport. 

“I thought I was going to 

be a backup the entire season,” 

Moore admitted. “But 

I’m just stepping up and doing 

my job. I’m thankful for 

the opportunity and the offensive 

line has been great. 

We just want to keep winning 

and make the playoffs.” 

Both teams still have playoff 

aspirations and Cordell 

wants the Knights to remain 

positive and correct their 

mistakes. 

“I was proud of the kids on 

the last drive to come back and 

score,” he said of the final TD 

march. “But it comes down 

to opportunities and we have 

to take advantage of ours. We 

win and lose as a team and we 

are looking at the opportunity 

to be 1-0 [this] week [7:30 

p.m. Friday, Sept. 16 at home 

against Thornwood]. We will 

be fine.” 

Peyton Nigro had a pair of 

interceptions and fellow junior 

linebacker Nick Degregorio 

added one for Central. 

But Jungheim had the key 

pick for the Porters to start 

the third quarter. 

“We knew what we wanted 

and we got it,” Jungheim 

said. “We wanted to be 3-0 

and this is huge. We have 

a team that wants the same 

thing together and we’re just 

playing with fire.”

Passing attack takes step forward in West’s 35-14 win over Andrew 

Frank Gogola 


Lincoln-Way West 

showed its depth and offensive 

balance in its win over 

Andrew Friday, Sept. 9, after 

relying on running back 

Justin LaBuhn’s 378 yards 

and six touchdowns in its 

first two games. 

The Warriors (3-0) 

got contributions from 

their first- and secondteam 

players and scored 

touchdowns through the 

air, on the ground and on 

defense in Friday’s 35- 

14 victory against the 

Thunderbolts. 

“It was the hardest we 

played and the most physical 

that we played,” said 

Lincoln-Way West head 

coach Dave Ernst. “I was 

happy with every group that 

came out there, and how 

they played and how physical 

they were and how aggressive 

they were.” 

Senior quarterback Cal 

Pohrte threw for 167 yards 

and two touchdowns, while 

backup Anthony Senerchia 

tossed one touchdown. 

LaBuhn led the way on the 

ground with 91 yards and 

one touchdown, and Donte’ 

Barber added 64 yards in 

the second half. 

Ernst told his team afterward 

he was proud of how 

they played “physical and 

violent the entire game.” He 

called it “the best game of 

the year for the wide receivers 

group.” 

Andrew’s two touchdowns 

came against the 

Warriors’ second-team defense.

one of which was returned 

for a touchdown, as they 

fell to 0-3 under first-year 

head coach Adam Lewandowski. 

“The football is getting 

better, but the mistakes are 

limiting progress on the 

scoreboard,” Lewandowski 

said. “Technique and X’s 

and O’s are getting better, 

but the thing that needs 

to get improved the most 

is how we take care of the 

ball.” 

LaBuhn ran for a 37-yard 

touchdown on the game’s 

opening drive. The Warriors 

scored on the ensuing possession 

when strong safety 

Jake Price picked off a pass 

and returned it 45 yards for 

a touchdown.

quarter, the Warriors went

However, the refs didn’t notice 

Andrew had too many 

players on the field until 

the ball was snapped and 

awarded Lincoln-Way West 

15 yards and an automatic 

first down. 

“I felt that was a really 

nice stop by our defense,” 

Lewandowski said. “They 

were pretty deep [at their 

own 15-yard line]. It’s stuff 

like that, that’s exactly what 

I’m talking about. 

“What we need to 

start doing is being more 

opportunistic when we 

have our own momentum 

and we need to capitalize 

on that. We need to sustain 

drives rather than jumping 

offside or having holding 

penalties or getting called 

for a man on the field. It’s 

messy stuff that’s stopping 

our progress.” 

Andrew committed eight 

penalties for 50 yards to 

the Warriors’ eight for 80. 

Lincoln-Way West turned 

its new life into a 36-yard 

touchdown from Pohrte to 

Kevin Gerardy. The Warriors 

added an 8-yard touchdown 

from Pohrte to Alex 

Croft with 32.8 left to lead 

28-0 at the half. 

Senerchia completed his 

lone pass to Croft for an 82- 

yard, catch-and-run touchdown. 

He replaced Pohrte, 

who exited following the 

first drive of the third quarter 

after having rolled an 

ankle while being sacked in 

the first quarter. 

Pohrte was on crutches 

afterward in what offensive 

coordinator Ryan Gabey 

called a preventive measure. 

Gabey expects Pohrte to 

play next week but said they 

will take it day by day. 

Andrew didn’t score until 

Lincoln-Way West subbed 

in its second-team defense.

“We’re looking to keep the mojo working 

and head strong into the playoffs. We’re just 

trying to get better every day. Just 1 percent 

better every day.” 

Brian Shannon — Lincoln-Way Central girls golf coach, on winning the 

Lincoln-Way Central Invitational Sept. 8 against five other teams. 

Rarely, do hearts get broken 

twice in the same game 

though, but even that happens 

on rare occasions. Just 

ask Providence after the Sept. 

9 Chicago Catholic League 

Blue Division Opener. 

The Celtics lost 32-31 

in overtime during a game 

where they were so very 

close to winning on two occasions. 

“Being the first conference 

game and leading the 

whole game, it was tough,” 

said Providence quarterback 

Jared Drake. “I thought we 

had it so that was heartbreaking. 

Those turnovers cost us 

in the end.” 

Providence (1-2, 0-1) led 

24-14 more than midway 

through the fourth quarter, 

before St. Rita rallied. 

The Mustangs pulled to 

within 24-21 with 4:19 remaining 

in the game when 

Jake Zylman fired a 26-yard 

strike to Tim Zaleski. It was 

a huge drive for the Mustangs 

as they converted three, 

fourth downs before finding 

the end zone. 

Although there wasn’t 

much time left, there was 

enough for the Mustangs to 

get another opportunity to 

score, and it came with less 

than 10 seconds remaining 

and from the foot of Gavin 

Mottl. His 37-yard field goal 

knotted the scored at 24-24 

and sent it into overtime. 

Although St. Rita had tons 

of momentum on their side, 

the Celtics scored first in 

overtime when Drake completed 

his fourth touchdown 

pass of the night – this one 

an 18-yard strike to Nico Planeta 

to make it 31-24. 

The Celtics needed their 

defense to make a huge stop, 

but the Mustangs simply 

wouldn’t be denied on their 

home turf after making such 

a great late rally. 

Zylman connected for a 

9-yard touchdown to Zaleski

traditional PAT to tie the 

game and extend it to a second 

overtime, the Mustangs 

opted to go for the two-point 

conversion and the win. 

That two-point conversion 

was handed off to Jake Stefanski, 

who barreled his way 

into the end zone to stun the 

Celtics. 

Both teams took advantage 

of turnovers, but the one that 

stings the most for the Celtics 

came with just 2:05 remaining. 

The Celtics were deep 

into the red zone and St. Rita 

was out of timeouts. Another 

touchdown or running out 

the clock would’ve sealed the 

game, but they coughed the 

ball up on the 6-yard line. 

That still left the Mustangs 

with 94 yards to go in 

little time, but they were able 

to put Mottl in a position to 

deliver the game-tying field 

goal and he hammered it 

through the uprights.

Drake said. “To go down

Providence couldn’t have 

been more pleased with how 

the game started. 

Drake connected with 

Drake Kotowski in the first 

quarter and Richie Warfield 

in the second quarter to give 

the Celtics a 14-0 lead. St.
