Lockport residents attract visitors with haunting decor
Rager, Levato families
transform yards into
Halloween attractions
Kirsten Onsgard
Assistant Editor
Crafting the creepiest Halloween
yard display is all about the details
for Sue Rager and her husband,
Rick. In their makeshift parlor
room, a faded family photo hangs
on the wall, and antique children’s
crutches prop up a doll. There’s a
100-year-old rocking chair and 19th
century vacuum.
The Ragers’ lawn display at 305
Macintyre St., known as Thanatophobialand,
has long eschewed
plastic party store decor, and is the
culmination of more than 15 years
of antique shopping and building.
But this year will be the last time
they put on such an intricate Halloween
show.
“It’s just gotten to be too much,”
Sue Rager said.
Her husband retired this year because
of an injury, and she underwent
treatment for cancer. Going
forward, they will no longer build
their backyard display, which includes
a Victorian parlor and steampunk
laboratory.
“We still enjoy it, we’re still going
to do parts of it,” she said. “Just
tone it down.”
The Ragers first decorated for
Halloween shortly after moving
into their Lockport home in 2001
with a few tombstones and monsters
on the front lawn.
“And then we started building,
and building, and building, until it
got to this,” Sue Rager said.
Today, their front lawn includes
a graveyard tribute to dead movie
and television stars, with two “his
and hers” hearses parked outside.
In back sits a Victorian parlor room
and steampunk mad scientist lab,
complete with an electric chair,
animatronic doll and real preserved
specimens.
It’s a look that’s “more creepy
than scary,” Sue Rager said, and
one that forgoes jump scares for
more of an old-timey aesthetic.
She often takes guests on personal
tours, telling stories about the
photos on the wall, the origins of
the furniture, the contraption they
created themselves or the dead horror
movie star commemorated in
front. Thanatophobialand also accepts
donations for Lockport Love,
and raised more than $250 last year.
Creating the display is a yearround
activity, from antiquing on
vacation to dreaming up new ideas,
she said. The setup begins in mid-
August, when Rick Rager spends
about three days placing the 19
back panels and roof for the backyard
rooms.
“We’ve invested so many years,
collecting, building, planning,” Sue
Rager said. “We pretty much build,
collect and plan all year.”
Downsizing has meant selling
their flea market and garage sale
finds, in addition to specialty items
the Ragers built themselves. During
their off-season, some of the
antiques aren’t just props, but furniture
in the Ragers home. Other
items are stored in the garage, cars
or even at Sue Rager’s office.
“It’s like selling your kids,” she
said. “You put your heart and soul
into it.”
The Ragers take some comfort in
knowing their props and furniture
have largely been purchased by other
haunters, or haunted house and
display enthusiasts. Sue has already
seen their old furniture on display in
yards in surrounding towns.
But for the next few weeks, those
pieces will still be transforming the
Ragers’ backyard into a spooky
haunt that draws hundreds each
year.
“I love seeing people’s faces
when they walk back here,” Sue
Rager said. “Especially the first
time — it’s like, ‘oh my god, wow.’”
Levato graveyard display continues
to grow
A few miles away, the Levato
family’s front yard has been transformed
into a graveyard swathed
in spiderwebs. They began decorating
about eight years ago with a
Sue and Rick Rager stand in their backyard among steampunk Halloween decor on Tuesday, Oct. 11. The couple
has decorated their yard, located at 305 Macintyre, for Halloween since 2001, elaborating on the design
by adding vintage and self-made props each year. This will be the last year their backyard will be decorated.

few simple tombstones which grew
more elaborate each year. And they
are showing no signs of stopping
anytime soon.
“It was never enough with him —
ever,” said Michelle Levato, referring
to her husband, Tony, “Every
year there’s at least five extra things
that he’s bought or built, and it’s
never the same.”
Today, their entire front lawn at
16719 W. 144th Place is dotted with
tombstones, with a veiled figure
lurking above the faux-graveyard
near the driveway. New this year
is a blood-spattered taxidermist hut
and butcher’s table, which Tony
Levato built, wedged between a
guillotine and skeleton.
The Levatos’ setup begins in early
September, when they squeeze
in more than 48 hours of labor over
weekends and after work. Michelle
is a District 91 secretary, and Tony
is a carpenter.
Despite their home’s location near
a dead-end cul-de-sac, the Levatos’
home has remained a standout
neighborhood haunt, thanks in large
part to word of mouth. The Levatos’
The Levato family began with a few tombstones in their front lawn. Now,
they begin decorating their yard in September, and props cover their
entire yard.
three school-aged children spread
the word among their friends, and
they host a costume party each year.
For Tony Levato, those visits
make it all worthwhile.
“That’s when he has a smile from
ear to ear,” Michelle Levato said.
The goal is to keep building and
expanding, Tony Levato said. The
dream? A haunted house.
“I would love for this whole block
to just be cars crowding up out here,
and a lot of attention,” Tony Levato
said. “I like seeing everyone’s reaction
to it, and the fact that they like
it and know us for the house.”

City receives award for fire safety
Illinois Fire Safety
Alliance lauds
Lockport for
sprinkler program
Jason Maholy
Freelance Reporter
The city of Lockport was
recognized last week with an
award for a program the Illinois
Fire Safety Alliance has
touted as a model for other
municipalities.
The alliance presented
Lockport one of six life safety
awards Thursday, Oct. 13, at
its 76th annual Fire Prevention
Week Luncheon, held at
Bobak’s Signature Events in
Woodridge. On hand to accept
the honor on behalf of
the city was 3rd Ward Alderman
Darren Deskin, who, in
early 2015, brought to Lockport
administrators the idea
to use video gaming revenues
to outfit downtown buildings
with overhead sprinklers and
smoke alarms.
“After a rash of downtown
fires, city officials came together
to create a resolution
that would help existing
downtown buildings meet
current building codes,” said
Jim Saletta, past president
of the Illinois Fire Safety
Alliance. “What Lockport
came up with was a unique
program that encourages the
installation of fire sprinklers
and smoke alarms in the historic
district.”
Lockport’s program offers
matching grants of up
to $20,000 for sprinklers and
alarms to owners of building
constructed before April
2003, and has allocated
$40,000 toward the program
each of the past two years.
The grants are funded by a
portion of the city’s video
gaming revenues, which between
April 2014 and April
2015 amounted to $138,556.
Saletta said the initiative
enhances the protection of
structures and occupants,
and improves the economic
viability of the downtown
properties.
“For other communities
that receive video gaming
revenues, a model has been
created that others can easily
replicate,” he added.
Saletta also lauded the
city’s fire sprinkler ordinance,
which requires buildings
constructed after April
Homer 33C offers free
technology classes
Submitted by Homer 33C
Homer 33C is offering
three free technology courses
for parents and community
members within the next few
weeks.
Residents of Homer 33C

at the schools.
Class sizes are limited and
1, 2003 to have smoke alarms
and sprinkler systems.
“As a veteran of fire sprinkler
wars, I truly appreciate
what has been done here,” he
said. “I know from my own
experience there’s a lot of opposition
and a lot resistance
you have to overcome to pass
these types of ordinances,
and it takes a lot of courage
to do so.”
The incentive program was
the brainchild of Deskin, who
saw video gaming revenues
as a source of funds that did
not impact taxpayers. The
money was earmarked for
downtown improvements,
but was “just sitting there,”
he said.
“I had a conversation with
city administrator (Ben Benson),
and said ‘why don’t we
just use some of that money
to go ahead and use toward
what I call the ‘Great Wall of
China’ ... these old buildings
that need to be renovated. But
the cost of a sprinkler system
is a lot. It costs more than
$20,000.”
The Lockport Township
Fire Protection District also
offers a tax rebate program,
available only to owners of
properties in the historic district.
The district will refund
up to $5,000 of the LTFPD’s
share of tax dollars over two
years for installing smoke
detectors, and over five years
for installing detectors and
sprinklers.

Sample ballot question
“Shall the trustees of
the Homer Township
Fire Protection District
be elected rather than
appointed? Yes Or No”
Mark Lobes told The Legend
over the summer that if the
referendum passes, elected
officials would serve six-year
terms.
The referendum appears on
the ballot as a result of it meeting
the requirements of 1,200
signatures being collected for
it and it getting turned into the
Homer Township Board of
Trustees and verified by the
Township secretary.

Teen Read Week engages LTHS students with poetry, spoken word, dance
Kirsten Onsgard
Assistant Editor
George David Miller performs slam poetry at the LTHS Media
Center, touching on topics such as his brother’s death
and gay rights.
The day was not even halfway
over, but sophomore
Tyrell Jackson was shouting
in Lockport Township High
School’s library.
Sure, it was a Shakespeare
sonnet — but poet George
David Miller was egging
him and a fellow student on:
be louder and angrier.
Together, they let out the
line, “Shall I compare thee
to a summer’s day?” slam
poetry-style, bouncing off
each other’s words in front
of about 50 of their peers
Thursday, Oct. 13, as a part
of Miller’s presentation for
Teen Read Week at LTHS.
The week is in part an effort
to reacquaint students with
the library.
Miller’s style is unapologetically
outspoken, and his
presentations during each
class period included a mix
of poetry, audience participation
and remarks about
issues facing both students
and the country. He jumped
on chairs, stared down students
and leapt around the
room while reciting poetry
and rapping about gay rights,
feminism, rape culture, classism
and discrimination.
“You want to get them to
actually start listening to the
words that you say and understand
that they’re so important,
and open up different
ways of seeing the world,”
Miller said. “If you touch
somebody’s heart, sometimes
you’re able to do that.”
Miller, who is the philosophy
department chair at
Lewis University, has been
writing poetry for more than
40 years and performing for
students for more than 15,
including several times at
LTHS. He does not pander
to students because of their
age, he said, and he sees
himself as an “agitator” on
these topics.
He said one student at
LTHS who had just began
publicly identifying as gay
approached him after his
first period presentation to
tell him how much it resonated
with them.
“It meant a lot to hear that,
for that student,” he said.
Miller’s presentation Oct.
13 was just one of the weeklong
activities during Teen
Read Week, a national initiative
created by the Young
Adult Library Services Association
to encourage literacy
among young adults.
Lockport Township High
School Media Specialist Jeff
Krohn said that while about
700 students use the library
each day, he is always looking
for new ways to best utilize
the space that’s no longer
simply a “shh, quiet library,”
he said. The Media Center
will be undergoing renovations
prior to the 2017-2018
Poet George David Miller performs at the Lockport Township High School Media Center for
Teen Read Week on Thursday, Oct. 13, at East Campus. Photos by Kirsten Onsgard/22nd
Century Media
school year, including adding
nooks and monitors for
small group work and opening
up the space, he said.
“[It’s] for some of the other
students who may not come
down here — who don’t know
what the inside of the library
looks like,” Krohn said. “We
just like expose students to
different opportunities, different
ways of learning or how
he was performing. That’s the
main goal.”
Teen Read Week, which
Krohn brought to LTHS
when he was hired in 2008,
is a co-curricular effort, including
classes from gym to
social studies. On Wednesday,
a dance class performed
a choreographed routine,
and on Tuesday, Flannery
Crump, a teen librarian from
the White Oak Library District
Lockport Branch, led
book talks.
For Jackson, who writes
poetry in his spare time for
fun, Miller’s bold style during
his Oct. 13 performance
was inspiring to see. Miller
flipped the script on Jackson
and four other student
volunteers during one of his
presentations, asking them
instead to recite poetry in
different voices and styles in
front of their peers.
“That really touched me,”
Jackson said. “I think when
he was engaging with the
audience … and making us
feel uncomfortable, but we
wanted to see why he was
doing that.”
While it elicited some uncomfortable
giggles from
a few participants, Jackson
said he liked that Miller
“doesn’t care what other
people say” and was willing
to break from the norm.
“To see a leader come to
our school and teach me
something, that was pretty
crazy,” he said.

be $3.99 million. The referendum is
mostly the same as the one proposed
in March, according to Pointon.
“The financial impact is exactly
the same,” he said.
The library district plans to use
the additional funds to increase library
hours, increase outreach services
and install a digital media lab.
These are the same areas the district
planned to use the money for back
in March, but after conducting a
public survey following the previous
referendum’s failure, the district
has decided to give more specifics
about its plan, district director
Scott Pointon said.
Much of the feedback received
through the survey was that voters
would be more likely to vote in favor
of the referendum if the new, increased
hours for the libraries were
made available, Pointon said. The
district plans to increase the hours per
week the libraries are open from the
current 60 to 71, should the referendum
pass. The new hours would be
9 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 9
a.m.-7 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday
and noon-5 p.m. Sunday. The
libraries currently open at 10 a.m.
Outreach services currently serve
senior citizens, and if the referendum
passes, it would also provide
the opportunity to service early
childhood development centers, as
previously reported by The Legend.
The digital media lab would provide
a space for people to make sound
recordings, film short video clips
and digitize photographs and video
home systems, Pointon said.
The library is to host an informational
talk about the referendum at 7
p.m. on Nov. 1 where Pointon will
explain what it means in lamens
terms, and answer questions about
it.

Tick tock: The clock is ticking on 2016 Halloween Costume Contest
Thursday, Oct. 20
marks the last day
for early entry prize
eligibility
Bill Jones
Managing Editor
Come Join Us For Some:
• Fang-tastic fun
• Games & crafts
• Inflatable haunted mansion
• Donut eating contest
• Costume contest
(prizes will be awarded)

dress for the weather.
HANDOUTS AND PRIZES
MAY BE LIMITED TO THE
FIRST 225 CHILDREN!
The rules
1) You have to be the person in the
costume. You cannot submit for anyone
else, with the exception of parents who
submit their children.
2) Each person can only submit one
costume for an entry (basically, you
cannot send yourself in multiple
costumes — pick one), though families
can send one entry per person (and
they can be submitted together) from
different members of the family.
3) We understand there may be a bit in
the way of scary imagery (such is the
nature of the holiday), but the costumes
have to be relatively family friendly to
be considered and published. Nothing
beyond PG-13.
Know what’s scary?
A whole week has passed,
and while we here at publisher
22nd Century Media
have already received plenty
of entries in the 2016 Halloween
Costume Contest, we
know our papers reach approximately
90,000 homes
and businesses in the southwest
suburbs (and many of
those homes and business
have multiple people inside
of them), and we have not received
90,000-plus entries at
this point.
That means some of you
are holding out. Or hate Halloween.
If you’re in the latter
camp, we have nothing for
you here. Turn back now!
But as for the former, what
are you waiting for?
Send us pictures of your
most creative costumes, and
you can win prizes in one of
two categories: ages 17 and
older, 16 or younger.

Orland Park, IL, 60467 (physical entries
cannot be returned), along with names,
email addresses and/or phone numbers,
and towns for each of the entrants.
5) The entries will be judged by 22nd
Century Media’s editorial staff, with
winners being chosen based on
creativity, successful execution of an
idea, quality of craftsmanship and
consideration of the holiday/season.
6) All entries are subject to being
published.
Maybe your are the Joan
Jett of your family’s collaborative
Blackhearts effort. Or
you ingeniously dressed up
as a giant candy pail (Halloween
costumes can be functional).
And we know at least
a few of you must have your
Ken Bone costumes already
put together (please keep the
“sexy” ones to yourself).
Just send them!
We’re going to pick just
one winner across each category
from all seven of our
southwest suburban towns:
Orland Park, Tinley Park,
Frankfort, Mokena, New
Lenox, Homer Glen and
Lockport. So your entries
need to be good.
We have just a few rules,
which you can check out in
one of the accompanying
sidebars.
While the competition may
Police Reports
be tougher this fall, the prizes
are well worth it, as a number
of area business have stepped
up to sponsor our two categories
(the prizes are detailed
in the other accompanying
sidebar).
In addition to the usual
prizes, however, two local
businesses donated passes to
their haunted attractions (as
well as one “seasonal” activity)
which would not do
winners much good after the
holiday. So we’re going to reward
three people who enter
the contest early this year.
Anyone who enters by 5
p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20, —
entries must be received by
then — will be entered into
a side drawing, from which
three names will be picked at
random to receive one of the
three pass packages (editorial
team’s pick) highlighted under
the “Early Entry” section
of the prizes sidebar.
Questions can be directed
to Managing Editor Bill
Jones at bill@opprairie.com

Max Lapthorne, Editor
The Disabled Patriot Fund
is giving children an opportunity
to trick-or-treat at one of
the spookiest places in Lockport.
The Disabled Patriot Fund
Trick-or-Treat Fun Event is
scheduled for noon-4 p.m.
Oct. 30 at HellsGate Haunted
House, 3103 Canal St. in
Lockport. The fund —which
provides assistance to injured
veterans across the state of
Illinois— hosts three fundraisers
per year, but this is the
inaugural Trick-or-Treat Fun
Event.
“We never really did a
family-oriented fundraising
event before, so we’re kind of
excited about it,” said Laura
Harris, Disabled Patriot Fund
secretary and event organizer.
Admission for the event
will be $8 for adults and children,
and there is to be raffles,
face-painting and music in
addition to trick-or-treating.
All the lights will be on in
the haunted house as children
will be able to travel to all of
the dozen or so rooms and
collect candy.
One of the Disabled Patriot
Fund board member’s sons
owns HellsGate, and so the
idea was brought up about
three months ago of hosting
an event there. The fund
wanted to pursue the idea, but
it usually takes a year to plan
fundraisers, and this one had
a timetable.
“This one just came up,”
Harris said. “We didn’t want
to miss the opportunity, so we
are just kind of throwing it together.”
While Harris and the rest
of the organizers aren’t sure
what to expect, they are hoping
to draw close to a quarter
of the 3,000 patrons who pass
through HellsGate on any
given night. The fund wanted
to make sure there was also
an attraction to the event for
adults.
“We wanted to gear something
toward the adults, so
I think what they’re going
to get out of it is something
like a behind the scenes of
the haunted house with the
lights on, and how things go
at night,” Harris said.
The Disabled Patriot Fund
was started in 2005 and during
its existence has raised
over $2.5 million and helped
more than 300 injured soldiers,
Harris said.
“We help them from paying
their utility bills to renovating
their home and making
it handicap accessible,”
she said.
The fund usually likes to
have several of the recipients
attend its fundraising events,
and Harris looks forward to
that being the case this time
around, especially with so
many children expected to
attend.
“We like to introduce them
to the donators, the crowd,
so they see exactly where
their money is going and how
we’re helping them,” Harris
said. “And we’re hoping
that some of the soldiers will
bring their kids, so they can
relate with the other kids that
attend.”

with an interactive presentation
Oct. 14 by two descendents
of the Pilgrims.
English Language Arts
teacher Gail Mickelson and
her father, Craig Nelson, can
trace their ancestry back to
John Alden, an early American
settler.
Mickelson and Nelson
shared stories about their
ancestor’s voyage, with
Mickelson wearing a shirt
that read “I am a descendant
of John Alden” and Nelson
dressed as a pilgrim.
Their ancestor, John Alden,
was a tradesman who
emigrated to America in
1620 on the Mayflower and
was one of the founders of
the Plymouth Colony. Another
ancestor, Mary Chilton,
was the first woman off
the ship.
Chilton recalls her father
telling the story of getting to
Holland, and how there were
several points where it didn’t
seem like they were going to
be able to make it.
It’s a story Mickelson
knows well. Her father used
to give a similar presentation
when she was in the sixth
grade.

FROM THE NEW LENOX PATRIOT
Arrowhead Ales wins
seven trophies at Southland
competition
Arrowhead Ales Brewing
Company owner and master
brewer Mike Bacon entered
the Pints & Pork Challenge
earlier this month with possibly
the least amount of
brewing experience against
seven in the competition.
But he left quite the impression
by the time the
Manhattan-based contest
ended, as he left with seven
trophies — three for first
place and four second place
— recognizing his beer, pork
and pairings.
“It’s kind of reassuring
to a lot of people around
here and who we’ve entered
against that we are players in
the game and we’re here and
we mean business,” Bacon
said.
Bacon ran the risk of not
using a standard style of
beer, like an IPA, wheat beer
or stout. Instead, he entered
his Jive Turkey sweet potato
ale, which is his take
on a pumpkin pie-type of
beer. And he paired it with
his pork entry — an egg roll
stuffed with shredded pork
shoulder that is prepared
with a house-made rub and
smoked for 12 hours, along
with braised cabbage, caramelized
onions and pepper
jack cheese.
Other area breweries or
eateries that competed were
350 Brewing Co. from Tinley
Park, Granite City Food
& Brewery from Orland
Park and Irish Pig BBQ in
New Lenox.

FROM THE FRANKFORT STATION
Frankfort administrator
recovers from tumor
removal, plays sports with
students
In January of last year,
Frankfort resident Curry
Gallagher said he had a persistent
ringing in his left ear,
and doctors said there was
nothing wrong with his hearing.
But when the ringing
turned into pain and it became
unbearable in June,
Gallagher found out he had
a brain tumor.
He went on to open that
school year at Shepard High
School — where he is assistant
principal of athletics —
missing in action, as he recovered
from brain surgery.
In 2016, though, he
opened the school year with
a unique project in mind.
The 40-year-old planned on
participating in a practice in
every sport.
Gallagher is healthy now
and tackling practices at
the Palos Heights school.
He started by joining the
girls swimming and diving
team, and then followed up
with girls tennis and, in one
day, he had a cross country
and soccer practice doubleheader.
“Last year, I was sick, and
you reevaluate your job,”
Gallagher said. “Sitting behind
a desk and being an
administrator is time-demanding,
and you are further
away from kids.
“I want the kids to know
me a little bit. ... I don’t want
kids to look at me as the administrator
who doesn’t talk
to them, or the administrator
who is distant from them.”

FROM THE TINLEY JUNCTION
IEPA announces Tinley
vehicle emission testing
facility to close Nov. 1
The vehicle emissions
testing facility along Duvan
Drive in Tinley Park will
close effective Nov. 1, according
to a spokeswoman
for the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency.
“Illinois EPA is streamlining
the vehicle emission
testing program as a result
of a new testing contract that
will take effect as of Nov.
1,” IEPA spokeswoman Kim
Biggs said in an interview.
Biggs said the state mandates
a testing facility be located
no more than 12 miles
from a resident’s home, and
the new contract will abide
by that mandate.
“[The new contract] will
result in significant cost savings
to [Illinois], and while
it does include some test
station locations that will be
closing, there will also be
some new inspection repair
facilities that will no longer
require appointments for
residents who want to use
those facilities,” Biggs said.
Locations for these new
facilities are still being finalized,
she said.
Tinley Park Mayor Dave
Seaman said he does not
anticipate much backlash to
closing of the facility. The
next closest station is located
in Markham at 3824 W.
159th Place.
“Testing only occurs once
every two years,” Seaman
said. “It’s not something you
do with a lot of frequency.”

FROM THE MOKENA MESSENGER
Pioneer Cemetery may
become a landmark after
Village Board approves
designation
Mokena’s Pioneer Cemetery
is one step closer to
becoming a Will County
landmark, after the Village
of Mokena Board of Trustees
approved a resolution Oct. 10
to approve the designation.
The trustees voted to approve
the resolution 5-0 —
with Trustee Debbie Engler
absent — and now it will go
back to the Will County Historic
Preservation Commission
for approval.
Mokena Assistant Village
Administrator Kirk Zoellner
said he worked hand in hand
with Janine Wilkosz, preservation
program manager
for the county’s preservation
commission, to get the landmark
designation language
just right.
“We’re really just talking
about the headstones and the
restoration and cleaning of
those, which are covered by
this historic preservation,”
Zoellner said. “[Pioneer
Cemetery] really is historically
significant. It dates back
to approximately 1839.”
He said it is truly a pioneer
cemetery, because most of
the people buried there were
pioneers to the Mokena or
Will County area.
“The cemetery was only
active to about 1896, and
there are 34 known graves
within the cemetery,” he said.
“That includes the grave of
Charles Denny, who is one
of only four Revolutionary
War veterans buried in Will
County. You think about that,
and that is very significant to
have a Revolutionary War
veteran buried in Mokena.”
The application for the
historic landmark designation
was submitted by Mokena
historian and resident
Matt Galik.

Garden Patch Farms commits
to fresh food alongside Fall
Fest
Garden Patch Farms in
Homer Glen is a personal
business for co-owner Lexie
Miller, and not just because
it runs in the family.
The food she and her
brother and fellow co-owner,
Tony Ndoca, sell in their
farm’s store — from justlaid
eggs to tomatoes and
apples — often make it to
her own dinner table.
“Not only does it save at
the grocery store, but we’re
big believers in growing
what you eat,” Miller said.
“It’s the only way to really
know where your food is
coming from.”
The fruits, vegetables and
shrubbery Miller and Ndoca
grow and sell on their farm
is what makes Garden Patch
Farms and its yearly Fall Fest
different, they said. Garden
Patch Farms’ free Fall Fest
runs every weekend through
the end of October, and its
store and other farm activities
are open from 9 a.m-6
p.m. daily for the season.
The Fall Fest includes a
bounce house, straw maze
and hayrides, among other
activities. Its petting zoo
hosts animals from Erin’s
Farm in Monee, which
brings farm livestock, as
well as ducks, turkeys and
reptiles.
“What we do here, we
think is good,” Miller said.
“I think we bring a lot of
value to what people find at
[our] store.”

Spaghetti dinner helps fund band’s state trip
Ryan Esguerra
Freelance Reporter
Take a listen to the volunteers
and attendees of the Lockport
Township High School Band spaghetti
dinner fundraiser Sunday
night, and you will hear one common
theme from all, “It’s for the
kids.”
The Lockport Township High
School Band hosted its fourth annual
community spaghetti dinner
fundraiser, Sunday, Oct. 16, to
support the band in its trip to the
51st annual High School Marching
Band State Championships
held at Illinois State University.
The band heads into state competition
as the defending Class
6A State Champion in Marching
Band. Spaghetti dinner organizer,
band mom and member of the
Lockport Township High School
Band Parent Organization Michelle
Kruse has been fundraising
with the band for three years and
looks forward to this event each
year.
“This is one of the great events
in that the kids can come and help
out.” Kruse said. “This is a great
opportunity to get the community
involved in the band and to show
it some of the things that the kids
are doing.”
Attendees of the dinner were
treated to a full course spaghetti
meal with dessert, and given the
chance to put their names in to a
variety of raffles. These raffles offered
prizes such as dinner certificates,
gift cards and wine baskets.
Kruse pointed to the hard work of
the volunteers and donations from
around the community as a big
factor in the success of the spaghetti
dinner.
“We probably have around 30
volunteers for the day of the event
who have been working hard for
us,” Kruse said. “Our raffles, desserts
and food are made up of donations,
so we are very grateful
for that.”
Band dad Adam Woodworth is
a new addition to the band community
as of fall 2016. Woodworth’s
daughter decided to join
the marching band as a percussionist.
While the marching band
has experienced overwhelming
success, Woodworth says that his
favorite part of being a member
of the band community lies in the
community itself.
“It is very welcoming and open
here,” Woodworth said. “People
here are so kind. We do all that
we do for the benefit of our kids.
There is no other way to say it and
I couldn’t imagine anyone doing it
for any other reason.”
Senior Amanda Medina has
been a member of the band
throughout her high school career.
Her and her friends in the
band have been coming together
to volunteer for this spaghetti
dinner each of the last three
years. Medina enjoys the chance
to participate in the fundraising
process while being able to spend
time with people who she cares
about.
“All the fundraisers that we do
are usually a lot of fun, our band
booster program is amazing,” Medina
said. “I have done so many
volunteer hours for school just in
band events. It’s convenient because
you get to do this for something
you love, with the people
that you love.”
The Lockport Township High
School band will head to Illinois
State University Oct. 22, to defend
its state championship title.
After the State Championships
conclude, the band will head to
Indianapolis to compete in the
Bands of America Grand National
Championships Nov. 10-12.
Proceeds from the spaghetti
dinner will go toward funding
the trips to both the state and national
championships. Last year,
the band raised nearly $5,000, and
it is the hope of event organizers
that they reach that mark yet again
this year.
“One thing I would tell the
community, come out and watch
them [the band].” Woodworth
said. When they have open band
practices, come watch and listen
to understand the hard work they
put in, the kids love an audience.”

As I walked into
Lockport Township
High School’s
auditorium last week to see
the choir’s fall concert last
week, I stopped for a moment
to watch the marching
band practice on a makeshift
field near the parking
lot. Immediately it was
clear: kids are good. They
punched out phrases and
horn flares from an uptempo
march, in what I would
assume was an effort to put
a few final touches on a difficult
piece of music.
I have spent a considerable
amount of time at
LTHS over the past few
weeks — covering the band
concert, choir concert, Teen
Read Week and Homecoming
— and it’s become
clear how much these
so-called formative years
and the school itself shape
students’ passions and
creativity.
At the choir concert that
evening, I spoke with two
seniors, Jake Parsons and
Abby Mladic, who are each
involved with three choirs.
They gushed about the
program, its intensity, fun,
learning opportunities and
family-like atmosphere,
however cliche. Only
Parsons plans on pursuing
music professionally,
but both found a space to
explore their creativity and
push themselves musically
in the program.
Earlier that day, I
watched as poet George
David Miller performed
for Teen Read Week at the
LTHS library. He recited
provocative slam poetry
and breached boundaries
by moving around
students and jumping on
chairs. Maybe some found
it cheesy or uncomfortable,
but Miller said he gets
that: not everyone will be
receptive to his message or
means of delivery.
But one student I talked
with did: sophomore Tyrell
Jackson, who writes poetry
at home and enjoys listening
to 2Pac. He spoke with
Miller after his performance,
and thought his raw
approach was inspiring to
see.
It’s programs like these
that help facilitate students’
creativity and find
their passion, and it certainly
was for me in high
school, as well. I played
trombone through high
school and middle school,
and vividly remember the
love-hate relationship with
that passion. We would
spend long nights on a
brisk, damp football field
or march for miles during
an oppressively hot Labor
Day parade.
I also flirted with studying
creative writing in
college for a while, and
somehow convinced an
English teacher one semester
to allow me to spend
a period writing poetry
for an independent study.
Needless to say, that time
would have probably been
best spent working for my
high school paper, though
at least I learned art school
was not in my future.
But high school is meant
to be a time to figure that
out, and deep-dive into
trying things that you
like, regardless of ability
(like those two seasons
of JV soccer I spent on
the bench). And LTHS’s
programs facilitate that —
from creative groups like
band to sports to support
groups, like gay-straight alliance
and Best Buddies.
It’s also a time to figure
out what you enjoy, even
if it’s not eventually going
to become your 9-to-5
job. I’m still a writer, get
excited about new music
and require at least a few
concerts per month.
It’s these passions that
make life more fulfilling,
but are harder and harder
to explore when it’s not
an after school activity, or
when it feels a lot less acceptable
to fail. Kids have
few qualms about learning
a new activity; for adults,
it can be much more uncomfortable.
Still, exploring passions
old and new is essential for
self-care and living a wellrounded
life. For me, that’s
meant things like learning
yoga and becoming excited
(albeit sore) when I finally
land a more difficult pose.
Granted, I am a young
20-something without
a family. But exploring
hobbies and passions —
from cooking to art to
sports — can be a lifelong
pursuit. Take it from a high
schooler.

LTHS choirs show talents at Fall Concert
Kirsten Onsgard
Assistant Editor
Lockport Township High
School senior Jake Parsons’
dream is to make it to Broadway.
After singing in junior
high, he worked his way
through the high school
groups, and he now sings in
Jazz Choir, A Cappella Choir
and will be the king at the
annual Madrigal Dinner.
But on Thursday, Oct. 13,
he said there was no place he
would have rather been than
performing with more than
200 of his peers in the LTHS
choir program during their
annual Fall Concert. The
first show of the year featured
four curricular groups
and one extracurricular
group, and included works
by everyone from Adele to
Claude Debussy in approximately
five languages.
Teaching and performing
a diverse repertoire is the
goal for LTHS Director of
Choirs Chad Goetz.
“From freshmen to seniors,
we are all working
towards a unified purpose
and a unified understanding
of music,” Goetz said. “If
there is a manner of singing,
we give the students a means
to do that. We want to make
sure students have the opportunity
to experience all
those things.”
Goetz, who has been
teaching at LTHS for 12
years, said it is important
to expose his students to a
variety of styles in his ensembles,
which include the
curricular choirs Freshman
Choir, Concert Choir, Mixed
Choir, Bel Canto Choir and
A Capella Choir.
“Our main goal is to continue
to push the limits of
our students as much as possible,”
Goetz said. “Each
year, we try to challenge
them a little more and expect
a little more.”
Each of those groups,
in addition to the extracurricular
pop group Grace
Notes, performed two to
four pieces at the concert,
from traditional American
songs to 16th century works.
The choir’s next concert,
on Thursday, Dec. 15, will
be holiday themed and the
extracurricular Madrigals
group will perform at its
Madrigal Dinner Dec. 2-4.
The group will also travel to
New York City in March for
performances and to work
with clinicians.
“[We are thinking], ‘How
can we do that style in a
healthful way, and be thinking
deeply about it?’” Goetz
said. “Not just Mozart, but it
could be Madonna.”
Rehearsing this music requires
his students to engage
with the music by understanding
its history, learning
music theory and listening
to other members in the
ensemble. It is about active
participation in the music,
Goetz said.
“A lot of time[s], you just
sing along with the radio
and don’t really think about
it,” Parsons said. “It really
forces you to re-examine
music.”
Parsons’ musical theater
dreams put him in the minority
in LTHS Choirs. Goetz
said only a small handful of
the 40 or so students who
graduate from the program
each year go on to study
music performance or education.
That is the case for fellow
senior Abby Mladic, who
does not plan on pursuing
music professionally but
still performs with Parsons
in the Jazz Choir and A Cappella
Choir. She will also be

queen for the Madrigal Dinner.
Nonetheless, she said music
is a passion, though one
that keeps her after school
until 8 p.m. daily and can
test her endurance. But after
every performance, it is
clear the work was worthwhile,
she said.
“I think I’ve cried every
single time,” she said. “It’s
just the combination of the
amount of work you put
into it and the connections
you make with Mr. Goetz as
well as the ensemble around
you.”
Parsons agreed.
“At the end of the day, it’s
just what we love to do,”
Parsons said. “So being here,
there are times when it is a
lot of work … but at the end
of the day, there’s no place
we would rather be.”

choir group that performs pop songs.

Patrons do not have to
look very hard to see that the
new Curtain Call Theatre in
Mokena was once a pharmacy.
The “Rx” pharmacy logo
remains prominent just to
the right of the door to the
new theater at 11112 Front
St., but once inside, it becomes
instantly clear that
Curtain Call is a venue for
performing arts, as the lobby
holds what is clearly intended
to be (and will soon become
more defined as) a box
office, and the theater itself
contains roughly 70 red velvet
seats, the unmistakable
hallmark of a theater.
Originally located in New
Lenox, Curtain Call made
the move to Front Street in
February.
“We were looking for
a place that gave us more
exposure...a place that was
more intimate, more of a
black box sort of thing,” said
David Luecht, the director of
the Mokena iteration of Curtain
Call Theatre’s inaugural
performance who has been
involved with Curtain Call
for six years.
That first performance in
Mokena will be an Agatha
Christie murder mystery,
“The Mousetrap,” which is
set for an Oct. 21 opening
night that was already sold
out as of Sept. 29.
Of course, Luecht added,
the murder mystery theme
should play well given that
the production will run right
around Halloween.
The way Christie wrote
the characters was just perfect
for some of the cast.
Brandon Vlach, a resident
of Homer Glen and a 2014
graduate of Lockport Township
High School, said he

heard about the production
from a friend, and Christopher
Wren, an eccentric,
slightly mischievous character,
stood out immediately.
“There’s some parallels
between him and I,” Vlach
said of his connection with
his character. “We’re both
extremely enthusiastic and
energetic, so it’s really nice
to be able to kind of channel
my energy into this character.
He’s just a very peculiar
guy.”
One of the things the cast
had to work on was sharpening
their British accents.
Griffiths was helpful in that
endeavor.
“Just through conversation
with [Griffiths], just
kind of picking up on his
mannerisms and the patterns
in his speech, it just helps
familiarize with the accent,”
Vlach said.
The 20-year-old Vlach
also said that he appreciates
the diversity of the cast and
his castmates’ willingness
to see him as a fellow performer.
“I tend to be on the younger
[side of] the spectrum,”
he said. “But I appreciate
that the cast treats me with a
sense of maturity and understanding
and professionalism
that I give them.”
Fara Lynn Bingham, of
New Lenox, plays Mrs.
Boyle, a very fussy character
who expects the best. For
Bingham, her role required
her to adapt, as she had been
doing almost exclusively
musical theater prior to “The
Mousetrap.”
Griffiths, too, was impressed
with the cast and its
members’ unique abilities.
“This cast is phenomenal,”
he said. “They are
amazing. For me, they are
so encouraging, they are so
supportive, and I just look
at them with amazement at
their professionalism, their
intensity and passion.”

to know Jennifer Moore
Question and answer with Lockport ???
Jennifer Moore is a photographer
who currently has four
pieces on display at the Illinois
State Museum Lockport Gallery.
Do you dabble in other media
besides photography?
I used to,
but I feel like
I settled in on
photography
more than a
few years ago.
It seems like a
few years ago, Moore
but I know it
wasn’t a few years ago.
How did you get into
photography?
I was taking classes in college
[at Moraine Valley Community
College], and I was
kind of leaning toward sculpture
actually… and I took
a photography course just
to kind of fill in a required
course, and I found that I fell
in love with it even more so
than throwing clay.
Do you do photography full
time?
I don’t do it full time. I
work, like most artists I feel
like, have to have a day job. I
have taught photography and
art for 12 years and currently
I am teaching at University
of St. Francis in Joliet, and I
am the gallery director at the
university art gallery.
What kinds of things do you
do as the gallery director?
I arrange for shows, [and]
curate shows. I typically
bring in very local artists. By
local, I mean Illinois artists.
Some Chicago artists, in fact
we have one here right now
that’s from Chicago and next
month we have somebody
from Southern Illinois coming
in who’s a photographer.
But we try to mix it up, we
try to do painting, and sculpture,
and photography, so it’s
constantly changing, because
my objective as the gallery
director at St. Francis is to
educate our students and expose
them to as much work
as possible that’s relevant to
current modern art.
Have you enjoyed your time
as gallery director?
Absolutely. I’ve been here
for just over two years, and
it’s been a switch. My primary
job before this was teaching,
and now my primary job
is gallery director, and I teach
in addition to being a gallery
director. I feel like it gives
you a very different perspective
as an artist on your own
work, and obviously it’s able
to keep me current.
How long have you been
doing photography?
About 20 years if you include
my time as a student
as well. Outside of being a
student, I got my master’s in
2005, which is when I would
say I truly started working on
my own body of work.
Do you have any other
hobbies outside of
photography?
I run quite a bit. I’m not
fast, but I run. For me, it’s
just a stress reliever and it
helps me work out some of
my art issues. I have a family
and my kids are very involved
in my work, so other
than my running and my photography
and my job and my
family, there’s not a whole lot
of time to do much else.
Where do you think you’ve
grown the most as a
photographer?
I think technically it’s always
an ever-changing medium
because it’s just the
nature of what it is, going
from analog to digital. But
I think as an artist I would
say thematically I’ve grown.
And I think that goes along
too with people just maturing.
What kind of body of
work a 20-year-old is doing
is a lot different than what a
30-year-old or a 40-year-old
or a 50-year-old is doing.
What is the hardest part of
art for you?
Probably just logistically
finding the time to do it, but
other than that I think figuring
out what the theme is.
Everyone knows generally
what they want to say when
they’re making a piece of artwork,
but kind of connecting
the dots and making it coherent
— to make your theme
coherent. I wouldn’t say it’s
difficult, but I would say it
takes time and energy.
What part of art comes
naturally to you?
I would say that once you
nail down that theme, I feel
like it just flows. Once I figure
out what I want to say,
that part of it kind of comes
naturally.
What types of photos do you
usually make?
Some people have said
it’s like dramatic narrative,
that’s the way it’s been described
in the past. I would
say very staged, very set up,
controlled in terms of lighting
and posing. They’re not
candids is what I’m saying.
They’re not natural, although
quite a bit of my work is outside,
so I do incorporate landscape
into it, but it’s not the
primary focus by any means.
Usually, what’s going on in
the photograph is what the
primary [focus] is, and the
landscape is just a setting for
the image. I kind of like to
look at is as a movie still if
you will. There’s something
going on within the frame,
and sometimes what’s outside
of the frame or what the
viewer doesn’t see is just as
important. But that’s up to the
viewer to decide.
Where do you usually get
your inspiration?
Most of it is personal experience.
Of course, I think
you’re influenced by everything
you see and do, but typically
inspiration comes from
personal experience for me.
What is your favorite part of
being an artist?
For me, the quiet time of
making the photographs. It’s
not a big production per se,
it’s just myself and my models
and the space. So it’s that
quiet time within that frame
of shooting that I like the
most. I also like post-production
as well, but I would say
it’s that quiet time.
What is your favorite piece
you have done?
I feel like most artists go
through this where you make
a body of work and you’re really,
really into it and at some
point you’re just kind of tired
of it like you don’t want to
see it anymore. I would say
for other reasons, not aesthetically,
but just for the
process of doing it, the pieces
that I did with models that I
didn’t even know. It was a series
called “Guilt and Fear.”
I think that one was kind of
interesting because most of
the models or some of the
models I didn’t even know,
and I enjoyed doing that because
it was out of the box for
me, it was different. Prior to
that, most of my models I do
know, and I know them on a
very personal level.

The Dish
Smoked salmon sandwich taking on starring role on Just Shrimp’s menu
Michael Gilbert
Contributing Editor
The restaurant’s name is Just
Shrimp, but co-owner John Mihalos
is willing to share a little secret.
“Even though we are called Just
Shrimp, you don’t need to like
shrimp to eat here,” Mihalos said.
“Our speciality is fried shrimp, but
we have enough of a menu to give
people a variety to eat.”
One of those non-shrimp options
is the smoked salmon sandwich
($9.99), which was introduced
earlier this month. It comes served
with fries and coleslaw.
“We wanted to do an item that
was a little on the healthier side but
still do a great job with it and make
it very tasty,” Mihalos said. “Having
[the salmon] smoked in house
and then immediately sealing it in
a bag allows it to retain the smoked
flavor and moisture and improve
the taste.”
The smoked salmon sandwich is
served chilled and on a sweet Hawaiian
roll. The size of the salmon
is between 6 and 8 ounces. It
is seasoned with salt, pepper and
brown sugar, and then topped with
tarragon-lime mayonnaise, as well
as lettuce and tomatoes.
Those fearful $10 won’t get very
far with salmon have probably
never dined at Just Shrimp. The
salmon is thick, and the fries and
coleslaw that accompany the sandwich
are plentiful.
“The response has been very,
very good,” Mihalos said. “It’s on a
trial basis now, but it’s looking like
it’s going to be one of our staple
dishes.
Another non-shrimp option is the
gator po’boy, $12.99 with fries and
coleslaw. The dish includes several
pieces of lightly breaded and
fried bite-sized, alligator served
on toasted French bread, with lettuce
and tomato, as well as Just
Shrimp’s unique po’ boy sauce.
“We’ve had the alligator po’boy
for about five or six months, and
it has become a favorite among
many people,” said Mihalos, who
owns the restaurant with his daughter,
Christina. “We had a customer

who was craving it, so we brought
it in. And the response was so great
that we decided to keep it on the
menu.”
For those who have never sampled
alligator before, anticipate a
meat similar in texture to pork with
the flavor of chicken breast. The
gator does not melt in the mouth
like other meats, but it still goes
down easy. And Mihalos puts just
the right amount of seasoning to
make this a must-try dish.
The sauce on the sandwich has
a dash of sriracha, giving it a mild
kick.
“Our sauce has a nice little kick
to it but nothing that will have you
reaching for your water,” Mihalos
said.
Of course, there’s no discussing
Mihalos’ restaurant without talking
about the shrimp.
“The shrimp will speak for itself,”
Mihalos said. “It’s our speciality.
We get glowing praise for
it.”
The restaurant only uses wildcaught
shrimp, as opposed to
farmed shrimp. And Mihalos said
the difference is quite noticeable.
“[The wild-caught shrimp] gives
it a unique flavor and texture that
no farm raised shrimp can ever
have,” he said.
Six jumbo shrimp with fries and
coleslaw runs $8.49, and customers
The smoked salmon sandwich ($9.99 with fries and coleslaw) is a new menu item at Just Shrimp in Tinley
Park that has proven popular among diners, according to co-owner John Mihalos.
Photos by James Sanchez/22nd Century Media
certainly get their money’s worth.
“We give you plenty to eat,” Mihalos
said. “We don’t anticipate our
customers will be leaving hungry.”
Mihalos and his daughter previously
operated Chicken Wild in the
building that is now Just Shrimp,
15940 S. Harlem Ave. The rotisserie-style
chicken restaurant closed
roughly two years ago, but Mihalos
said he introduced several popular
fish dishes at Chicken Wild that ultimately
led to the opening of Just
Shrimp.
“Trying to find our niche, we introduced
fish, and once we started
serving our shrimp it kind of had a
life of its own,” Mihalos said. “Because
the fish and shrimp were the
leading items [at Chicken Wild],
my daughter suggested that we
switch to shrimp and do the type
of things that we are doing today.
We went with it, and we’ve been
blessed ever since.”
Six jumbo shrimp with fries and coleslaw run $8.49 at Just Shrimp in
Tinley Park.

Looking to Build and Move into Your New Home This Year?
It’s Possible at Prairie Trails in Manhattan!
Distinctive Home Builders provides homeowners the
highest quality home on the Market from the low $200s
with zero punch list items in 90 days
Distinctive Home Builders
continues to add high quality
homes to the Manhattan
landscape at Prairie Trails; its
latest new home community,
located within the highlyregarded
Lincoln-Way School
District. Many families are
happy to call Prairie Trails
home and are pleased that
Distinctive is able to deliver
a new home with zero punch
list items in 90 days. Before
closing, each home undergoes
an industry-leading checklist
that ensures each home measures
up to the firm’s high
quality standards.
“Actually our last average
was 81 working days from excavation
to receiving a home
occupancy permit - without
sacrificing quality,” said
Bryan Nooner, president of
Distinctive Home Builders.

cording to Nooner.
“When we opened Prairie
Trails we wanted to provide
the best new home value for
the dollar and we feel with
offering Premium Standard
Features that we do just that.
So why wait? This is truly the
best time to build your dream
home!”
Distinctive offers custom
maple kitchen cabinets featuring
solid wood construction
(no particle board), have solid
wood drawers with dove tail
joints, which is very rare in the
marketplace. “When you buy
a new home from Distinctive,
you truly are receiving custom
made cabinets in every home
we sell no matter what the
price range,” noted Nooner.
Nooner added that all
homes are highly energy efficient.
Every home built will
have upgraded wall and ceiling
insulation values with
energy efficient windows and
high efficiency furnaces. Before
homeowners move into
their new home, Distinctive
Home Builders conducts a
blower door test that pressurizes
the home to ensure that
each home passes a set of very
“Everyone at the company
works extremely hard to continually
achieve this delivery
goal for our homeowners. Our
three decades building homes
provides this efficient construction
system. Many of our
skilled craftsmen have been
working with our company
for over 20 years. We also
take pride on having excellent
communicators throughout
our organization. This translates
into a positive buying
and building experience for
our homeowners and one of
the highest referral rates in
the industry for Distinctive.”
In all, buyers can select
from 13 ranch, split-level and
six two-story single-family
home styles; each offering
three to eight different exterior
elevations. The three- to

two to two-and-one-half
baths, two- to three-car garages
and a family room, all
in approximately 1,600 to
over 3,000 square feet of living
space. Basements are included
in most models as well.
Distinctive also encourages
customization to make your
new home truly personalized
to suit your lifestyle.
Oversize home sites; brick
exteriors on all four sides of
the first floor; custom maple
cabinets; ceramic tile or hardwood
floors in the kitchen,
baths and foyer; genuine
wood trim and doors; granite
countertops and concrete
driveways can all be yours at
Prairie Trails. All home sites
at Prairie Trails can accommodate
a three-car garage; a
very important amenity to the
Manhattan homebuyer, acstringent

The Stonegrove will be available
for walk through in late
September.

Athlete of the Week
check. I’ve dialed it down on
that this year.
10 Questions
with Bri Hillock
Bri Hillock is a sophomore
on the Lockport Township
girls tennis team. She plays
second doubles with Kaitlyn
Graves, and the duo recently
won the No. 2 doubles title
at the SouthWest Suburban
Conference meet.
Coming into this season,
the Porters were expected
to be good, but
you surpassed expectations.
What has made it
work?
For me, I knew in the offseason
that Kate and I had
something special. Something
a lot of No. 2 doubles
teams don’t have. But one
thing I didn’t know was the
depth of the team. That’s
been key.
What has made you and
Kate have something
special?
Non playing-wise and
playing-wise, we both have
the same goals. We wanted
to win conference and get
out of the sectional, to state.
Individually when we play, I
can set her up well with volleys.
How did you get started
playing tennis?
I started, along with my
twin sister — Cassidy Hillock
— when I was 4 years
old. But I really didn’t start
playing competitively until I
was 11. I didn’t want to play
basketball anymore, so I
started playing tennis all the
time. Besides, tennis runs
in my family as my mom
[Wendy] and my dad [Ray]
play too.
Since you and your
sister both play tennis
on the team, are you interchangeable
in singles
and doubles? And who
wins when you play
each other?
Last year, I was playing
No. 2 doubles to start,
but moved to No. 3 singles.
When Cassidy and I play
against each other, we’re
pretty friendly. We leave it
on the court, but move on afterward.
I think we’re pretty
even.
What is it about tennis
that makes it the best
sport for you?
It’s a good stress relief.
I remember when I was
younger, I’d always feel
better after playing. It was
an instant stress relief as to
what was bothering me.
22nd Century Media File Photo
So what do you like
playing better, singles
or doubles?
Doubles, because there’s
more of a placement strategy.
That’s what I like, the
strategy. I like that in school
too. I like strategizing, and
my favorite classes in school
are English and chemistry.
What have you learned
from Lockport tennis
coach, Bob Champlin?
I’ve learned with volleys
to guide the ball into the
court more. Also, to step in
more when hitting a serve
and to keep my emotions in
Do you have any prematch
superstitions?
I always get kind of nervous
before a big match,
especially if I’ve beat the
person before. So I just clear
my mind to forget that and
tell myself I can do anything
as long as I believe.
You still have a while,
but do you plan to play
tennis in college?
It depends on what college
I go to. Right now I want to
go to Texas A&M University
and study Meteorology. I always
liked Texas A&M and
their football team. Then I
found out they have one of
the top Meteorology programs.
What is the best thing
about being an athlete
at Lockport?
It’s that all the other athletes
support you. Even if
you don’t play a major sport,
they still support you. Plus,
all the coaches are really
good too.

a kill.
Senior outside hitter Serene
Jones (9 kills), senior
setter Bella Cosentino (14
assists), and junior libero
Emma Sweeney (18 digs)
came up big for Lockport.
The two teams met earlier
in the season. That was
on Friday, Aug. 26th in the
opening match of the Plainfield
North Invite. There,
Sandburg won 25-16, 25-
19.
“We need to get the mentality
that no ball touches
the ground,” Kovanda said.
“The second game we had
that mentality. We’ve come
a long way. When they beat
us in two, we got down on
ourselves and kept making
mistakes. We executed a
lot more and dug a lot more
here.”
Lockport’s last victory
over Sandburg was 25-23,
25-22 on Oct. 16, 2008 in
Orland Park. That helped
give the Porters their oneand-only
SWSC Blue title.
Before that, their last conference
championship was
in 2000 when they won the
SICA West.
Just 17 months before
Lockport’s last win over the
Eagles, current Porter volleyball
coach Nick Mraz
was a student at Sandburg,
and the 2007 graduate
was winding down his senior
volleyball season. His
coach when he played for
the Eagles was none other
than Vales.
“Nick and I go way back
to a boys’ team that was
not supposed to accomplish
much,” Vales said of Mraz
helping to spur the 2007
Sandburg boys team. “Nick
led us to a regional championship
(25-15, 26-24 over
Andrew), a sectional semifinal
win (25-21, 20-25,
25-22) over Providence and
within a couple of points of
pulling another huge upset
(23-25, 25-21, 25-15 loss
to Lincoln-Way East) in the
championship. He’s the ultimate
competitor and he’s
got his girls starting to believe
his system.”
In his second season as
girls coach, Mraz has the
Porters on track this fall.
They are on pace to reach
20 victories after going 14-
23 the past two years.
“Sandburg is a great
team,” Mraz said. “They
were putting the ball way
against us, but I was very
happy with how we bounced
back. The girls knew how
big [last weeks] match was
and how big it would be
to win, but we didn’t treat
it different than any other
match.
“I don’t think it would
have been stealing one if
we had come in and pulled
it out. We have the talent to
do good things.”
In the win over Stagg on
Wednesday, Oct. 12, Lockport
was led by Orlowski (5
Kills, 2.5 blocks) and senior
middle hitter Jasmine Raudys
(3 kills, 3 blocks).

nior, plowed in from 2 yards
out with 7:17 left in the
first half. Sophomore Ryan
Barth, who was brought up
to the varsity for kicking duties,
added the extra point,
and Lockport led 7-0.
Cooper, who has taken
snaps all season during practice
as the back-up, but was
the starting quarterback on
the sophomore team. He
threw only one pass [incomplete]
in the first half
as Lockport ran the ball 29
times for 140 yards.
“I felt good,” Cooper said
of playing quarterback. “I
was ready, I was prepared,
my teammates were there to
support me, and the offensive
line did another great job.”
One of those teammates
was Moore (27 carries for
208 yards), who had another
highlight-reel run as
he dashed down the right
sideline for a 58-yard TD
run with 25 seconds left in
the first half. On the jaunt,

Moore looked to be caught
around the 15-yard-line.
But, he stopped on a dime
as defenders raced past him,
and juked back toward the
middle of the field to complete
his touchdown run.
“I think he took that off
‘Madden,’” Cooper said of
Moore’s video game-type of
move. “He stole the thunder,
as he usually does.”
In the second half, sophomore
Jacob Karli came in
at quarterback after playing
the first half of and part of
the third quarter at that position
in the sophomore game,
which also ended 35-0 in favor
of the Porters. Already
being praised for his performances
on the sophomore
level, Karli came in and was
4-of-6 passing for 38 yards
and had a 20-yard touchdown
pass to Austin Hoffman
in the left corner of the
end zone to make the score
21-0 with 3:03 left in the
third quarter. He also rushed
six times for 12 yards, and
had a 42-yard TD run called
back on a penalty.
“Coach [Cory] Dillard
was talking to us at the start
of the third quarter and said
‘Karli, you’re in,” Karli said
of entering a varsity game
for the first time. “I tried to
think of it as just another
game, but it’s really a bigger
game, with bigger boys and
quicker speed.
“But, as soon as the butterflies
left, I settled in. To
throw that touchdown pass
felt really good.”
After senior linebacker
Michael Mata recovered
a fumble at the Stagg 32,
Moore added a 23-yard TD
burst for a 28-0 with 8:31
to play in the game. Junior
Nick Ganz (15 carriesfor-50
yards) nearly got in
on the scoring action at the
end, but fumbled near the
goal line. The Porters, however,
still scored when Stagg
junior running back Jaylon
Watson was dropped for a
5-yard loss and fumbled into
the end zone. Junior defensive
lineman Quinn Kelley
pounced on it with 36 seconds
to play for a defensive
touchdown.
There was some good
news on the injury front for
Lockport, which finished
with 304 total yards on offense.
Senior running back
John Snidanko (3 carries
for 18 yards) returned to the
lineup for the first time since
being injured in the seasonopening
win at Downers
Grove North.
The Porters close out the
regular season with a game
this Friday, Oct. 21, against
Lincoln-Way East in Frankfort.
The Griffins (6-2, 4-2)
have the same record as
Lockport after losing to
Bradley-Bourbonnais 38-21
at home last week.

Girls Golf
Area’s top players compete at sectional in Lockport
Randy Whalen, Freelance Reporter
While no area teams qualified
for last weekend’s Class AA girls
golf state finals, six players still
represented the Southland there.
Those half dozen individuals
emerged from perhaps the top
sectional in the state. That was
the Lockport Township Sectional,
which was held Oct. 11 at Broken
Arrow Golf Club in Lockport.
The Class 2A state finals were
held Friday, Oct. 14, and Saturday,
Oct. 15, at the Hickory Point Golf
Club in Forsyth.
In the sectional, two-time defending
state champion Hinsdale
Central (305) won its sixth-straight
sectional title. Naperville North
(315) was second while Benet
Academy (317) was third.
Sandburg (334) was fourth, followed
by Lincoln-Way Central
(336), while Lincoln-Way East
(349) placed sixth and Providence
(351) and Waubonsie Valley tied
for seventh place. Neuqua Valley
(376), Oswego East (400), Mother
McAuley (409) and Marist (417)
rounded out the scores for the 12
teams.
While it fell short of qualifying
as a team, Lockport had four girls
at its own sectional. The Porters
were paced by freshman Rachel
Kuzel (81, tied 20th), who fell
two strokes short of qualifying for
state. Senior McKenzie Ebel (89,
tie 38th) also made the Top 50.
Seniors Erica Long (94) and Sydney
Loeffler (95) rounded out the
scores for the senior-laden Porters.
For the first time in four years,
Sandburg wasn’t in the state finals
as a team. The Eagles, however,
still sent a pair of players. Those
were senior Emilyee McGiles (73)
and sophomore Hannah Kilbane
(77).
McGiles picked an ideal time
to shoot her season-best 18-hole
round. That allowed her to become
the first Eagle girls golfer to
qualify for state all 4-years of high
school and her 1-over tied her for
third place overall with Hinsdale
Central senior Jessica Lee. Naperville
North junior Lauren Nay was
Lockport freshman Rachel Kuzel follows through on a putt at a recent
match. Kuzel finished two strokes away from qualifying for state Oct. 11
at the Lockport Sectional. 22nd Century Media File Photo
second with an even-par 72.
“I really wanted to play the best
I could and hitting the fairways and
greens makes it easier,” McGiles
said. “I shot an 82 here [at Broken
Arrow] in the [SouthWest Suburban
Blue] Conference Tournament
[on Sept. 28], but this was my best
of the year. This was the time to do
it, when it counts.
“To start as a freshman and to
continue it all four years is pretty
special. Even though we didn’t
make it as a team this time, and it’ll
be a little different, I know I [still
had] my teammates and family at
state to support me.”
One of those is Kilbane, who
tied for the lowest score (164) at
state last year for the Eagles as they
placed sixth.
“I [was] really excited to go to
state again,” Kilbane said. “My
form was off some [in the sectional],
but I [was] still happy to make
it and play at state again.”
Senior Morgan Howard and junior
Dayna Waner each shot a 92 in
tying for 46th overall and rounding
out the top four golfers for Sandburg.
Seniors Jenna Perdue (103)
and Sarah Gleason (113) were the
other Eagle golfers.
“For Emilyee to go downstate
four straight years is an incredible
run,” Sandburg coach Todd Allen
said. “I don’t think anyone here has
ever done that. I’m proud of both
her and Hannah, they did a great
job. Plus Morgan and Dayna both
shot 92’s for their best rounds so
far.
“With this field of teams we
would have had to have an unbelievable
day for us to advance. But
we shot 346 here as a team in winning
the conference and then 334
at the sectional with windy conditions
and so much on the line. I’m
unbelievably proud of them to do
that.”
So was Lincoln-Way Central
coach Brian Shannon as the
Knights sent a pair of sophomores
to state. Those were Grace Curran
(74) and Bri Bolden (75).
“We knew that the top three
teams are in a different class and
we’re on the right path to that,” he
said. “When I took over 10 years
ago, we had a really good team.
But then we started to get one person
to the regional, then three and
now we’ve won back-to-back regionals
and got one person to state
last year and then two this year.
“This makes our team hungrier
and makes all us of want to work
harder. The girls have got the world
ahead of them. We’re headed in the
right direction.”
Both Curran and Bolden were
happy to go to state this past weekend.
“I’m so excited,” Curran said of
going to state. “This [was] definitely
going to be a new experience.
This was the main goal through
the year and I’m just so happy to
have gotten here. I was definitely
nervous [sectional] morning on the
first tee and Bri was trying to calm
me down.”
For Lincoln-Way East junior
Hannah Hill, the disappointment
of not shooting well on the back-
9 was replaced by a feeling of euphoria
for tying Yorkville freshman
Kait Natividad with a 79 as the two
were the final qualifiers for state.
“The 79 is a tie for my best ever
and it’s awesome to go to state and
represent us out of this tough sectional,”
Hill said. “I’m pleased, but
I blew up on the back 9. I was even
par at 36 on the front 9 and then
blew up with a 7 over on the back
9. But I had an 87 the last time I
was here and it’s a tough course.”
After finishing fourth and not
qualifying out of the regional last
season, the Griffins (343) edged
Lockport (346) for third place at
the Joliet Central Regional this
season to qualify for the sectional
again after a year absence.
“It’s a tough field and it was
great to be able to get the team
back here to compete,” McGivern
said of qualifying for the sectional.
“It’s nice to start the streak again.”
While Providence didn’t make
it as a team, Celtic senior Alyssa
Gromala was still ecstatic. That’s
because she was going to state as
an individual for the fourth-straight
season, accomplishing a goal she
had set for herself. Her 76 put her
in a four-way tie for 10th place at
the sectional.
“I’m very happy,” Gromala said
after the sectional. “I was very nervous
going into it because it’s a big
thing to say that you’ve qualified
four times. I’m very excited that
I’ve been able to compete down
there for all four years. I started off
my round very well, so that gave
me a little bit of comfort. It just
shows me that I can go really well
and hopefully I can do that at state.
Junior Isabella Corso (88, tie
36th), sophomore Ellie Bilotta (91,
tied 40th), and sophomore Kayla
Ambrose (96) were the rest of the
Top 4 for Providence. Freshman
Claire McGrath (109) and senior
Holly Sebastian (135) rounded out
the Celtic scores.
Lincoln-Way West had a trio of
golfers at the sectional. They were
senior Hannah Slater (87, tie 33rd),
sophomore Sarah Scheer (92, tie
46th), and senior Sydney Valiska
(95). Emily Sherman (109), a senior
from Andrew, was also there.

Girls Tennis
Doubles teams advance to state for Porters
LTHS finds success
after sectional play
moves to Lockport
Randy Whalen
Freelance Reporter
There is no place like
home.
And when it came to winning
a tennis doubles sectional
championship, there
was certainly no better place
than home to that for Lockport
Township seniors Tomi
Jo Mansell and Mary Kate
Buchheit.
Mansell and Buchheit
captured the doubles title on
Saturday, Oct. 15, and helped
the Porters to a second-place
finish in the Class AA Plainfield
South Sectional, except
that is not where the final
matches took place.
Those ended up taking
place at Lockport Township
High School.
Such was the odyssey of
a strange sectional title day,
though one that had a great
result for the Porters doubles
teams. Junior Kaitlyn
Graves and sophomore Bri
Hillock placed third and also
advanced to this week’s state
finals, which are slated be
held between Thursday, Oct.
20 and Saturday, Oct. 22, at
Buffalo Grove High School
and other surrounding sites.
“It makes it more special,”
Mansell said of winning a
sectional championship on
her home court as a senior.
“It definitely does.”
Getting to the semifinals
and guaranteeing a spot at
state was special for Mansell
regardless. She became
the fourth Porters girls tennis
player to qualify for state
all four years of her high
school career. She did so in
singles as a freshman and junior,
and this was her second
sectional title. The other was
two years ago in doubles
with Hana Khatib.
“After making it freshman
year, I just wanted to keep it
going,” Mansell said of the
state streak. “But I didn’t
want to take it for granted.”
The other three Lockport
girls players to qualify
for state each year were
1993 graduate Dawn Barone,
2011 graduate Haley
Ilcewicz and 2013 graduate
Kelsey Forkin. Mansell now
has 91 wins in her career at
Lockport. Forkin holds the
record with 95.
But none of the previous
players probably took a sectional
final day route like
the one from last weekend.
Everything went off fine on
Friday, Oct. 14, at Plainfield
South, as the first two rounds
were played. But, the next
morning brought some unexpected
wind and rain, so
the semifinal matches were
moved indoors to the Rush-
Copley Healthplex in Aurora.
The problem was, the facility
was only available until
noon. So the teams packed
it up and drove to Lockport,
where they planned to continue
play indoors at Challenge
Fitness.
However, there was something
scheduled there, so
only two courts could be
used at a time. So, with
the sun coming out and the
winds subsiding, they decided
to go down the street
to Lockport Township High
School’s East Campus.
That was fine by the Porters
players, who used the
home court as motivation.
“It was like senior night
3.0,” Buchheit said of having
one more match as a senior
on the home court. “We
had senior night this year
but still had one more home
match after that. Now, we
had this.”

Lockport. Photos by Adam Jomant/22nd Century Media
In the final, Mansell and
Buchheit had a strong first
and third set in battling to a
6-4, 0-6, 6-4 win over sophomore
Hanna Beck and freshman
Hannah Neuman from
Neuqua Valley. Not only did
the Lockport duo comeback
after not winning a game in
the second set, they were
down 3-1 in the third set before
rallying. Buchheit had a
great shot down the middle
in the clinching game as her
and Mansell scored the final
three points after being
down 30-40.
“Every day at practice,
I’d look up at the fence and
imagine our names up there
as sectional champions,”
Buchheit said of the fence
at Lockport which lists all
the sectional winning teams
and players. “So during the
match, I kept looking back at
it and thinking, ‘I want to be
up there.’”
Now, her and Mansell will
be.
“They were making good
shots, and our energy was
down,” Mansell said of being
swept in the second set.
“Then, we were down 3-1 in
the final set, and we had to
go back to playing our game
of straight ahead doubles.
We had to persevere.
“Our [individual] goal
was to win conference and
sectionals. We wanted to win
the sectional as a team, too,
but Neuqua is still strong.”
In the sectional standings,
Neuqua (29 points)
edged the Porters (25) to
win a sectional title for the
third straight season on the
strength of having both doubles
teams and both singles
teams qualify for state. Joliet
West (14), Plainfield
North (10), Minooka (10),
and Plainfield Central (10)
rounded out the Top 6 in the
10-team field.
In the semifinals, Mansell
and Buchheit had to battle
to a 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 win over
Neuqua sophomores Charlotte
Harland and Sara Mata.
In the third-place match,
Graves and Hillock dispatched
Harland and Mata
6-4, 6-4 to also win their
final home contest. The Porters
pair will be making their
first trip to state.
“We had a rough semifinal
match,” Hillock said of their
6-1, 6-1 loss to Beck and
Neuman. “But we bounced
back. For me, going to state
is going to be really surreal.
Coach [Bob] Champlin
first saw me play in seventh
grade and told me how cool

play.

of an experience it is to get
to state. Now, I’m going.”
The logistics for the sectional
may have been tricky,
but it was all worth it in the
end.
“There was a lot of driving
around,” Graves said of
the site changes. “But [in the
third-place match] we really
focused and executed.
We’ve really had fun this
year, and we just work really
well together.”
Both Lockport singles
players went out in the quarterfinal
round, which was
completed Friday, Oct. 14.
Sophomore Cassidy Hillock
lost 6-1, 6-1 to eventual
third-place winner Jessica
Chen of Neuqua. Porters
freshman Natallie Barth fell
6-4, 6-2 to eventual runnerup
junior Veena Murali from
Neuqua.
Joliet West junior Eileen
Carney won the singles title
with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over
Murali.
“There’s high level singles
players here,” Champlin said
of the sectional singles draw.
“Our girls will learn from
this as often you learn more
from a loss than a win.
“But for our doubles teams
to get through is great. They
put in a lot of hard work, a
lot of offseason work, and to
get some wins like that over
Neuqua is a really good feeling.
Tomi Jo Mansell and
Mary Kate Buchheit are the
two No. 1 students in their
class, too. So it’s wonderful
to have that final ending and
upnote at home.”

Lockport clinches playoff berth with win over Stagg
Randy Whalen
Freelance Reporter
To break a 5-year playoff
drought, the Lockport
Township football team
knew it had to play together,
as a team.
So, when senior quarterback
Ben Davis became ill
last week and wasn’t able to
play in the Porters possible
playoff clinching game, others
stepped right in. Even
with players out of position
or being shifted around,
Lockport looked great and
went on to shut out Stagg
35-0 in a SouthWest Suburban
Conference matchup
on Friday, Oct. 14 in
Palos Hills.
Tavares Moore rushed
for 208 yards and scored a
trio of touchdowns as the
Porters (6-2, 4-2) clinched a
playoff spot for the first time
since 2011. In the process,
they registered their first
shutout since a 41-0 victory
over Joliet Central on Sept.
12 of last year. Stagg (0-8,
0-6) remained winless on
the season and traveled to
face winless Andrew this
Friday to see which team
would emerge with a victory
this season.
“It’s a great accomplishment
and a tremendous
thing for the kids,” Lockport
coach Dan Starkey
said of making the playoffs.
“Our goal was to win a conference
championship, but
it’s still a great accomplishment.
Everyone was on the
same page and our defense
really works hard.”
The downside was the absence
of Davis. Not only is
he the teams quarterback, he
handles kicking and punting
duties as well. While his
exact status for this week
and beyond was still unknown,
it didn’t look good
as signs pointed to him having
mononucleosis.
Lockport’s Brian Trochuk (6) and Jason Balderrama (12)
take down Stagg’s Jordan Watson.
“We’re just not sure yet,”
Starkey said of Davis. “He
was too sick to play. He
went home from practice
on Wednesday [Oct. 12]
and hasn’t felt well enough
since.”
Even with Davis out, the
Porters reached six regular
season wins for only
the third time since the undefeated
regular season of
2004. The two others were
in 2009 and 2011.
As has been the case all
season, the Porters defense
came up big. They have
only allowed over 16 points
in a game twice this season.
Those were to perennial
powers Homewood-Flossmoor
and Bolingbrook.
Stagg finished with 34 total
yards in the game, including
one rushing yard. The
Chargers were held to minus
3 yards total in the second
half and had three first
downs in the game — none
in the second half. Lockport
had the ball for 30:50 total,
while Stagg held it for 17:10.
A key moment was at the
start of the third quarter.
Trailing 14-0, the Chargers,
who forced three turnovers,
recovered a fumble in the
opening minute of the second
half at the Lockport 21.
But two incomplete passes
were coupled by a pair of
sacks of junior quarterback
Kyle Neputy (5-of-15 for 33
yards) by senior defensive
end David Balderrama.
“Our coaches knew we
couldn’t just have a great
game, we had to be better
than that,” Balderrama said
of the defense. “We were
looking to get a defensive
score, and [fellow senior defensive
end] Josh Baker and
I are like brothers out there.
“It [making the playoffs]
is something we wanted all
season. This is everything
we’ve waited for since
freshman year.”
On offense, the Porters
started slow. Junior Kevin
McDevitt opened at quarterback,
but was soon replaced
by a fellow wide receiver,
senior Patrick Cooper. But
neither of Lockport’s first
two possessions netted a first
down, and the second one
ended with a fumble at its
own 23.
The Porter defense rose to
the task, however, forcing a
39-yard field goal attempt
which was tipped at the line.
Lockport took over at the
20 and went 80 yards in 17
plays — all of them running
— in a drive that lasted over
eight minutes. Moore, a ju-

Sandburg was looking to
solidify another girls volleyball
conference title.
But Lockport Township
was looking to play spoiler
and throw its hat into the
ring for a conference championship,
as well.
When all was said and
done, the old guard looked
to be on its way to an eighth
straight SouthWest Suburban
Conference Blue Division
championship. That
is because Anna Jonynas
came up huge, especially
down the stretch, as Sandburg
held off the Porters in
a well-played 25-14, 23-25,
25-18 victory Oct. 11 in Orland
Park.
The win put the Eagles
(19-9, 3-0) a match closer to
capturing at least a share of
another SWSC Blue crown.

Flossmoor [on Thursday,

least a tie, and a sweep of
the two would give them the
outright title.
Lockport, which improved
to 19-8, 3-1 with a
27-25, 25-19 home victory
over Stagg the next day,
was looking to win at least
a share of the SWSC Blue
title for the first time since
winning it outright in 2008.
The Porters held early
leads of 2-0 and 3-2 in set
No. 3, but then Jonynas
went to work. She smacked
a kill to tie it at 3-3 and added
another one two points
later. Sophomore middle
hitter Lauren Mizera added
an ace in what became a 6-0
run that put Sandburg ahead
for good at 8-3.
Although the Porters
came back with four straight
points, they could never tie
it. Ahead 10-9, the Eagles
embarked on another run,
this one a 7-0 one that included
four Lockport errors

But the Porters kept hanging
in there, going on a 6-1
