the frankfort station | December 29, 2016 | 3<br />

LW candidates split by momentum, change<br />

Kirsten Onsgard, Editor<br />

Months after Lincoln-Way<br />

Community High School<br />

District 210 began the school<br />

year with three high schools,<br />

not four, 13 candidates have<br />

announced their bid to join a<br />

Board of Education marked<br />

by years of mismanagement<br />

claims and denounced by<br />

community members.<br />

The candidates vying for<br />

the five spots open during<br />

the April 4, 2017 election are<br />

ideologically split into two<br />

camps: incumbents emphasizing<br />

a positive momentum,<br />

and reformists calling for a<br />

cultural overhaul.<br />

More than half of the candidates<br />

split into two slates:<br />

a five-person community<br />

group, Citizens for 210, and<br />

a three-person slate anchored<br />

by the current board<br />

president.<br />

The remaining candidates<br />

include three current board<br />

incumbents, a longtime<br />

educator and a former vice<br />

president of a community<br />

activist group.<br />

The announcements come<br />

at the end of a year that included<br />

two board member<br />

resignations, including the<br />

president; two ongoing federal<br />

investigations; a taxpayer-led<br />

lawsuit against<br />

Lincoln-Way North’s closure;<br />

continued multimillion<br />

dollar borrowing and overspending;<br />

hundreds of millions<br />

in looming debt; and<br />

an ongoing mistrust between<br />

parents and what they say is<br />

an opaque Board of Education.<br />

But it also comes in a district<br />

praised for academic<br />

performance regularly exceeding<br />

state standards<br />

along with strong arts and<br />

sports programs, factors the<br />

candidates said was often<br />

overlooked.<br />

In September, the current<br />

board passed a budget<br />

now on-track to maintain<br />

a multimillion-dollar surplus,<br />

which, if maintained,<br />

would be its first in years.<br />

It is also in the midst longrange<br />

strategic planning,<br />

which the board is pushing<br />

as a crucial step towards<br />

balance and direction.<br />

‘We had been duped’<br />

For members of Citizens<br />

for 210, a five-member newcomer<br />

slate, these recent<br />

steps by the Board of Education<br />

are too little, too late.<br />

“We as taxpayers had<br />

been very much duped,”<br />

candidate Karen Town said.<br />

“Most of the taxpayers in<br />

this area work very hard, and<br />

to have that money frittered<br />

away was very difficult to a<br />

lot of us.”<br />

The slate includes Town, a<br />

Moraine Valley Community<br />

College marketing specialist<br />

and Lincoln-Way parent,<br />

and Lee R. Talley, a former<br />

educator and school board<br />

member, running for twoyear<br />

terms. Running for fouryear<br />

terms are educator Gus<br />

Yiakos; former Lincolnshire<br />

school board member Ben<br />

Yomtoob; and Will County<br />

auditor and Lincoln-Way<br />

finance advisory committee<br />

member Cathy Pleasant.<br />

While some have previously<br />

worked with community<br />

group Lincoln-Way<br />

Area Taxpayers Unite —<br />

which headed the lawsuit<br />

pushing to keep North open -<br />

the group prides itself on being<br />

a diverse mix of parents<br />

and community members<br />

who bring backgrounds in<br />

auditing, school board leadership<br />

and education.<br />

During a meet and greet<br />

attended by about 30 people<br />

at the Frankfort Library<br />

District Dec. 14, the group<br />

announced a five-pillar platform<br />

of creating strong relationships<br />

with stakeholders,<br />

educational quality, transparency,<br />

financial integrity<br />

and strategic planning.<br />

“There has been a culture<br />

of misrepresentation,<br />

at the very least, and that<br />

needs to change,” Pleasant<br />

said. “That fear culture, that<br />

culture of egotism, needs<br />

to go away, needs to be revamped.<br />

We believe that<br />

happens through mutual<br />

respect, transparency, accountability<br />

and openness<br />

all the way around.”<br />

It also called for a structural<br />

flip of what they say is<br />

how the current board operates.<br />

While the group said it<br />

would not necessarily “clean<br />

house” and remove current<br />

superintendent R. Scott Tingley,<br />

it pushed for a board<br />

that oversees administration<br />

and answers to constituents.<br />

“There has to be an understanding<br />

that the board represents<br />

the community, and<br />

they should value having an<br />

ongoing conversation with<br />

them,” Town said.<br />

Under former superintendent<br />

Lawrence Wyllie<br />

— who led the district<br />

in its decline and approved<br />

the construction of two new<br />

schools at the tip of the financial<br />

crisis — the board<br />

rubber-stamped measures,<br />

Talley said. Wyllie’s mishandlings,<br />

including spending<br />

made without board approval,<br />

is the subject of an<br />

ongoing federal investigation.<br />

“The biggest thing I see is<br />

the fact that the community<br />

is still divided and splintered<br />

because of what happened,”<br />

Yomtoob said. “We have to<br />

get the community reunified,<br />

and we have to get everybody<br />

rooting for and supporting<br />

the school district.”<br />

Their goal is to make<br />

enough information available<br />

to end the need for<br />

About 30 people attended a meet and greet event hosted at<br />

the Frankfort Public Library by the five-member Citizens for<br />

210 slate. Laurie Fanelli/22nd century media<br />

Freedom of Information Act<br />

requests and hold open forums<br />

with the community.<br />

To rein in the debt the<br />

school faces following the<br />

construction of North and<br />

East — even with North’s<br />

closure, which the district<br />

said would save about $5<br />

million per year — the group<br />

said it would look at creative<br />

solutions and further dissect<br />

spending.<br />

According to a June 2016<br />

annual financial report, the<br />

district had $307 million in<br />

principal short- and longterm<br />

outstanding debt, a<br />

figure that balloons to $474<br />

million when accounting for<br />

interest.<br />

“If you don’t have the<br />

money, you certainly can’t<br />

be spending it,” said Talley,<br />

who likened the district’s<br />

practices to “kicking the<br />

can down the road.” “That’s<br />

the problem we’re in now,<br />

that’s the problem most governmental<br />

bodies are in –<br />

they’ve overspent.”<br />

Currently, the budget is<br />

not broken down by school,<br />

which they said poses a<br />

problem for understanding<br />

its financial standing. Town<br />

also suggested looking at<br />

and renegotiating vendor<br />

contracts, and Pleasant<br />

said the entire checkbook<br />

should be accessible online,<br />

consistent with Will<br />

County’s practices.<br />

If all five candidates are<br />

elected, it would give Citizens<br />

for 210 a controlling<br />

stake in the board. Board<br />

Member Ron Lullo and Vice<br />

President Christine Glatz<br />

are not up for re-election in<br />

April.<br />

But candidates like Yiakos<br />

said that while they are<br />

aligned, they are willing to<br />

disagree with one another to<br />

flesh out problems.<br />

“We have our disagreements,<br />

but what we do have<br />

is an open dialogue,” he<br />

said. “Every time that we<br />

meet, everybody walks out<br />

of that meeting feeling like<br />

they were not judged upon<br />

what they said in an open<br />

forum.”<br />

‘On the right track’<br />

Though Citizens for 210<br />

said they are working in<br />

advance to begin enacting<br />

change on day one, board<br />

members don’t “hit the<br />

ground running,” said current<br />

Board of Education President<br />

Dee Molinare. She wants to<br />

see this through.<br />

“We are headed in a good<br />

direction,” Molinare said. “I<br />

want to make sure we continue<br />

with good leadership in<br />

the district, with strong leadership<br />

in the district..”<br />

Frankfort Village Board<br />

Downtown house denied height extension for cupola<br />

Kirsten Onsgard, Editor<br />

Frankfort Village Board<br />

prohibited a developer from<br />

constructing a structure<br />

which would have been<br />

nearly 10 feet taller than<br />

current village ordinance allows.<br />

Trustees at the board's regular<br />

meeting Dec. 19 worried<br />

that allowing a cupola to be<br />

built atop a garage at a house<br />

at 231 Oak Street would set a<br />

precedent for future development,<br />

unanimously denying<br />

the request by builder Steve<br />

Lecas. The cupola would<br />

have made the structure more<br />

than 44 feet tall, and current<br />

ordinance allows for a maximum<br />

of 35-foot buildings.<br />

The Plan Commission recommended<br />

to deny the variance<br />

for the cupola at its Dec.<br />

8 meeting, though Trustee<br />

Mike Stevens and Lecas said<br />

many neighbors present were<br />

in favor of the house itself.<br />

“I don’t believe we should<br />

be starting a precedent with<br />

this particular structure, especially<br />

given that we have,<br />

routinely in the past, denied<br />

the height variance on other<br />

structures,” Trustee Cynthia<br />

Heath said. “It is a beautiful<br />

home, and it is going to be<br />

set back, but I still think it’s<br />

going to be very tall, it’s going<br />

to be very visible from<br />

the street and the neighbors,<br />

and I am also not going to<br />

be voting against what the<br />

recommendation of our Plan<br />

Commission was on this.”<br />

Lecas said the cupola<br />

would make the garage look<br />

like an old barn, and blend<br />

in better with surrounding<br />

downtown properties.<br />

It would have been used to<br />

light and ventilate the fourcar<br />

garage, which is set back<br />

about 140 feet from the road,<br />

Lecas said.<br />

“I think it’s getting way<br />

too much attention for what<br />

it is going to serve as, which<br />

is the pinnacle to the project,”<br />

Lecas said. “It’s going<br />

to show that garage as<br />

being a barn, which is why<br />

we designed a farmhouse for<br />

Frankfort.”<br />

“When you take that cupola<br />

off it, it’s going to look like<br />

a big garage, it’s not going to<br />

look like a barn,” he said.<br />

Trustees approved Lecas’<br />

request for a building materials<br />

variance, allowing for<br />

Hardic board and batten siding<br />

for the 7,550-square-foot<br />

two-story house.<br />

At the Nov. 10 Plan Commission<br />

meeting, Lecas<br />

said the siding will give the<br />

house’s architecture a softer<br />

feeling. The commission<br />

unanimously approved the<br />

request at that meeting.<br />

Village sues to quell house<br />

parties<br />

The Village has filed suit<br />

against the owner and residents<br />

of a foreclosed house<br />

that neighbors said has<br />

hosted several parties with<br />

alleged illegal activity, according<br />

to Village Attorney<br />

George Mahoney.<br />

About a dozen residents<br />

were present at the board’s<br />

Dec. 5 meeting to voice<br />

concern about large parties<br />

attracting up to hundreds<br />

of people at the Plank Trail<br />

Estates house. Police Chief<br />

John Burica said the parties<br />

had been ongoing for about<br />

eight months, but search and<br />

seizure rights prevented police<br />

from entering the home.<br />

Two residents pled not<br />

guilty in court earlier this<br />

month on separate noise<br />

ordinance complaints from<br />

November, with hearings set<br />

for January.<br />

The Village also filed suit<br />

against the bank that owns<br />

the home and its occupants,<br />

and was granted a temporary<br />

restraining order until late<br />

February 2017, according to<br />

Will County Circuit Court<br />

documents.<br />

Student parking bans<br />

Student parking will be<br />

prohibited on a street south<br />

of Lincoln-Way East High<br />

School following a resolution<br />

passed by the Frankfort<br />

Village Board.<br />

The Village will install<br />

signage on Bankview Drive<br />

in the Creekview subdivision<br />

banning student parking<br />

when school is in session<br />

from 8-10 a.m. Monday<br />

through Friday.<br />

“A lot of students were<br />

taking up both sides of the<br />

streets, creating some safety<br />

issues, plus a lot of issues for<br />

the local people,” Trustee<br />

Dick Trevarthan said.<br />

Judy Herder remembered<br />

Several members of the<br />

board expressed their condolences<br />

to the Herder family<br />

following the death of Judy<br />

Herder earlier this month.<br />

The 40-year resident was<br />

president of the Frankfort<br />

Area Historical Society, in<br />

addition to working with<br />

organizations such as KidsWork<br />

Children’s Museum,<br />

Preservation Foundation,<br />

Garden Club and Concerts<br />

on the Green, among others.<br />

“She just continually<br />

worked to preserve our community,”<br />

Mayor Jim Holland<br />

said. “She was always<br />

concerned about the historic<br />

district. But she was the<br />

most pleasant person, even<br />

if someone was trying to do<br />

something she didn’t agree<br />

with. What a civil person,<br />

what a champion of how<br />

people should communicate.<br />

Judy was it.”<br />

Election<br />

From Page 4<br />

tive direction, and we need to<br />

continue that positive direction<br />

by working with the residents<br />

to improve our roads,<br />

add new bike trails, bring<br />

new public development and<br />

increase public safety with<br />

new crime prevention programs,”<br />

he said.<br />

Morgan is Holland’s first<br />

challenger since winning the<br />

mayoral seat in 2005.<br />

Three challenge trustees<br />

Two newcomers are looking<br />

to oust the three incumbents<br />

running for Board of<br />

Trustees re-election.<br />

Former Frankfort firefighter<br />

Samuel Giordano and<br />

attorney John Clavio are vying<br />

to take two of the three<br />

seats currently held by trustees<br />

R. Douglas Walker, Dick<br />

Trevarthan and Keith Ogle.<br />

Giordano is currently a fire<br />

science instructor at Harper<br />

College who worked for the<br />

Frankfort Fire Department<br />

from 1974-2002. In a written<br />

statement, Giordano said in<br />

a statement the Village is at<br />

a “critical crossroad” and is<br />

pushing to prioritize “public<br />

safety, economic growth and<br />

fiscal responsibility.”<br />

Trevarthan, who has been<br />

on the board since 1971,<br />

and Walker, first elected in<br />

2001, are looking to retain<br />

their seats, along with Ogle,<br />

who was appointed to trustee<br />

from village clerk by Holland<br />

in 2015 to fill a vacancy.<br />

Ogle said in statement that<br />

the Village has “a winning<br />

team right now,” pointing<br />

to economic development<br />

downtown, low property<br />

taxes and the $60 million<br />

wastewater treatment plan<br />

consolidation. Ogle is the<br />

president of Plus One Audio<br />

Video, and has served on the<br />

Frankfort library board and<br />

Chamber of Commerce.<br />

“It is important that we<br />

re-elect trustees who have<br />

experience, and thoroughly<br />

understand the projects and<br />

planning issues before us,”<br />

he said in a statement.<br />

Walker said in a statement<br />

that during his tenure,<br />

the Village has experienced<br />

a varied rate of growth —<br />

from sluggish to rapid — but<br />

pointed to the its need for a<br />

“board that can provide leadership<br />

and responsibility under<br />

all economic scenarios.”<br />

Walker is currently the vice<br />

president of business development<br />

for Tallgrass Energy,<br />

and has worked in the natural<br />

gas and energy industry<br />

for decades.<br />

Adam Borrelli is running<br />

unopposed for Village Clerk,<br />

a position he has held since<br />

being appointed by Holland<br />

to fill Ogle’s vacancy in<br />

2015.<br />

In a statement, Borrelli<br />

said he would dedicate his<br />

efforts to supporting Holland's<br />

re-election.<br />

Clavio and Trevarthan did<br />

not immediately return a request<br />

for comment.<br />

Grade school board candidates<br />

face few competitors in race<br />

Kirsten Onsgard, Editor<br />

In stark contrast to a<br />

contested high school district<br />

race, candidates for<br />

Frankfort area grade school<br />

boards will see little competition<br />

during the April 4,<br />

2017 election.<br />

No contest expected in<br />

Frankfort school election<br />

Barring write-in candidates,<br />

three candidates, including<br />

the current board<br />

president will face no opposition<br />

in their bid for Frankfort<br />

School District 157-C<br />

Board of Education.<br />

President Gina Briese,<br />

along with former member<br />

Chris McFadden and<br />

community member Brett<br />

Cosich, have filed for the<br />

April 7, 2017 school board<br />

election.<br />

McFadden and Cosich<br />

are expected to fill positions<br />

currently held by<br />

board Vice President Brian<br />

Sasso, who was elected in<br />

2013, and Mike Turner,<br />

who has served the unexpired<br />

term of former board<br />

member Carrie Mills since<br />

2015. Turner was also previously<br />

elected in 2011 for<br />

one term.<br />

McFadden, an attorney,<br />

served on the Frankfort<br />

school board from 2011 until<br />

2015, when he joined the<br />

Lincoln-Way Community<br />

High School District 210<br />

Board of Education, a position<br />

he resigned from last<br />

January.<br />

He said he wanted to return<br />

to Frankfort to continue<br />

to provide opportunities<br />

for children, and to ensure<br />

the district is hiring the<br />

“best people for the best positions.”<br />

McFadden’s oldest<br />

child is in kindergarten.<br />

Cosich, a Frankfort<br />

school district graduate, is<br />

the chief operating officer<br />

of a Tinley Park network<br />

services company and former<br />

consultant. Though the<br />

board position would be his<br />

first in education, he pointed<br />

to his decades-long business<br />

background and said<br />

he had a vested interest in<br />

the district with three children<br />

attending Frankfort<br />

schools.<br />

“We’re in a rapidly<br />

changing economic climate<br />

in this country, so I think<br />

it’s important that the focus<br />

on STEM — science, technology<br />

— stays front and<br />

center,” Cosich said.<br />

Briese, who was elected<br />

in 2013, did not immediately<br />

return a request for<br />

comment.<br />

Incumbents, educational<br />

professionals vie for 161<br />

A current principal and a<br />

former board member are<br />

among the three newcomer<br />

applicants and two incumbents<br />

vying for seats on the<br />

Summit Hill District 161<br />

Board of Education.<br />

Board President Rich<br />

Marron and Secretary David<br />

Faber will be challenged<br />

by former assistant<br />

superintendent James Martin,<br />

former board member<br />

Joy Murphy and Debra Staples<br />

for four openings in the<br />

April 4, 2017 election.<br />

Current board members<br />

Pam Kohlbacher and Rich<br />

Ward did not file with the<br />

Will County Clerk for reelection.<br />

Martin is currently principal<br />

at Plank Junior High<br />

School in Oswego, and was<br />

formerly an assistant principal<br />

and assistant superintendent<br />

in Summit Hill<br />

District 161. Martin emphasized<br />

the need for improving<br />

technology, critical<br />

thinking and writing skills<br />

in the classroom, as well<br />

as navigating a future with<br />

limited state aid.<br />

“There’s more that is<br />

needed to help students<br />

learn how to become learners<br />

in this century,” he said.<br />

Murphy’s 2009-2013<br />

board tenure was during<br />

a tumultuous time for the<br />

district as it faced a $2.5<br />

million deficit, eventually<br />

resulting in the closure of<br />

Mary Drew School.<br />

A nursing assistant and<br />

mother of five district<br />

graduates, Murphy said she<br />

made the decision to run<br />

last minute to ensure voters<br />

had a choice.<br />

“[My children] had such<br />

a wonderful experience in<br />

the district, I have no problem<br />

stepping up and volunteering<br />

to serve,” she said.<br />

Board Secretary Dave<br />

Faber said that moving forward<br />

he would like to “ensure<br />

that the district stays<br />

on trying to make fiscally<br />

sound decisions, so that<br />

when something comes<br />

down the pipe we can handle<br />

it.”<br />

“We just signed a contract<br />

with the teachers working<br />

with the union last week,”<br />

he said. “That’s another<br />

four years of stability there<br />

without a work stoppage. I<br />

think we’re in good shape<br />

financially compared to<br />

other districts in the area.”<br />

Staples and Marron did<br />

not immediately return a request<br />

for comment.<br />

No tax rate hike expected in 157-C<br />

Submitted by Frankfort<br />

School District 157-C<br />

The Frankfort School<br />

District 157-C Board of Education<br />

approved a flat tax<br />

levy thanks to new growth<br />

at its regular board meeting<br />

Dec. 21.<br />

The levy is a 2.7 percent<br />

bump over the district’s<br />

2015 collection, accounted<br />

for by new construction. It<br />

was initially proposed at the<br />

board’s Nov. 16 meeting.<br />

In total, the district will<br />

request more funding than it<br />

intends to collect, and will<br />

then apply an abatement of<br />

$1 million back to taxpayers.<br />

The process of levying<br />

more now and abating<br />

back ensures the district can<br />

continue to levy a higher<br />

amount in the future, according<br />

to Assistant Superintendent<br />

and Board Treasurer<br />

Curtis Saindon. Last<br />

year, the district applied a<br />

$600,000 abatement.<br />

In a statement, board<br />

President Gina Briese said<br />

the abatement will allow the<br />

district to not increase the<br />

amount taxpayers contribute<br />

to the district.<br />

The total levy request is<br />

expected to be about $31.2<br />

million, compared to $30.3<br />

million in 2015.<br />

The district also maintained<br />

its AAA bond rating<br />

from Standard & Poor’s.<br />

Indian Trail toy drive collects 100 gifts<br />

was headed by the Make a<br />

Board<br />

From Page 3<br />

na School District 159 Vice President<br />

Aaron Janik. Both Janik and Kosteck<br />

were selected to participate in the<br />

district’s strategic planning sessions<br />

held earlier this month, serving on<br />

the human resources committee.<br />

Those planning sessions will help<br />

to forge an action path going forward,<br />

Janik said, in areas such as<br />

public relations, capital improvements,<br />

hiring and technology. While<br />

on the District 159 board, Janik said<br />

he and his fellow members worked<br />

to improve technology infrastructure<br />

and launched an elementary<br />

dual language program.<br />

Though their opposition is promising<br />

a culture change, Molinare<br />

said much of the problems present<br />

under Wyllie’s administration<br />

shifted after his retirement. Molinare<br />

was a board member for about<br />

a year and a half while Wyllie was<br />

superintendent, but said she did not<br />

have close ties with him.<br />

“The dynamic has changed tremendously,<br />

and we are a team<br />

working together as a group of individuals,”<br />

she said. “We have our collective<br />

thoughts and our differences<br />

of opinions, but we are all working<br />

for the good of Lincoln-Way.”<br />

Their goal is to maintain what<br />

they said is the current trend of academic<br />

excellence and a balanced<br />

operating budget to ease borrowing.<br />

According to Treasurer Kelly Luzzo,<br />

the district is on track to maintain<br />

a $2 million operating surplus<br />

this year and is to sell three parcels<br />

of land early next year estimated to<br />

yield more than $6 million.<br />

“We hit a little bump with our finances,”<br />

Molinare said. “We’re addressing<br />

them, and I do want to see<br />

that through for the next four years<br />

and make sure the district stays on<br />

that path of continuing to rectify the<br />

finances.”<br />

Moves such as presenting a treasurer’s<br />

report and acknowledging<br />

cash flow at every Board of Education<br />

meeting have already increased<br />

transparency, Molinare said. The<br />

board will also be shifting to Board-<br />

Docs next month, a platform that<br />

publishes board packets online. Putting<br />

the entire checkbook online,<br />

Molinare and Janik said, does not<br />

seem like a considerable option.<br />

“Now is not the time when you<br />

want inexperience coming onto a<br />

school board,” Molinare said. “As a<br />

board member, it takes time to acclimate<br />

to how it truly works as far as<br />

the fund accounting, curriculum and<br />

instruction. You don’t hit the ground<br />

running — there’s a learning curve<br />

involved.”<br />

The remaining incumbents whose<br />

terms are expiring will also vie to<br />

retain their seats: Secretary Christopher<br />

Kosel, Joseph Kirkeeng and<br />

Christopher Lucchetti. Though Kirkeeng<br />

and Lucchetti were appointed<br />

following recent resignations, Kosel<br />

has been on the board for more<br />

than a decade. None are currently<br />

aligned with a slate.<br />

Kosel, who formerly served as<br />

board vice president, was central to<br />

LWATU’s 2015 lawsuit against the<br />

Board of Education, which said his<br />

failure to complete training hours<br />

in time voided his motion to close<br />

North. The group’s amended lawsuit<br />

was dismissed in June.<br />

Lucchetti, an investment banker,<br />

was appointed in February. Kosel<br />

and Lucchetti did not immediately<br />

return requests for comment, and<br />

phone numbers listed were disconnected.<br />

While acknowledging his current<br />

position on the board could<br />

lead voters to associate him with<br />

old problems, Kirkeeng said his<br />

addition — along with that of Lucchetti<br />

and Kosteck — has upped its<br />

responsibility.<br />

“The addition of the three appointees<br />

raised the level of accountability<br />

on the board, and I’d like to think<br />

that I was a part of that,” said Kirkeeng,<br />

a New Lenox resident and<br />

financial services professional.<br />

Besides passing a budget that<br />

has so far maintained its projected<br />

surplus, Kirkeeng said he is “advocating<br />

for a 12-month process” for<br />

the annual budget. The district has<br />

predictable revenues and expenses,<br />

he said, and “it’s not like you’re trying<br />

to project sales or project a commodity.”<br />

“Everybody’s got a common<br />

goal,” Kirkeeng said. “All of the disparate<br />

parties in this thing want the<br />

district to be strong, want the educational<br />

opportunities, and want it to be<br />

fiscally sound. At the end of the day,<br />

we need to focus on what we have in<br />

common, and then discuss the different<br />

ways to get there.”<br />

‘A balanced board’<br />

Two independent candidates,<br />

each without a slate, said their distinct<br />

backgrounds give them needed<br />

insight into overhauling the district’s<br />

practices.<br />

For former Lincoln-Way Area<br />

Taxpayers Unite Vice President<br />

Robert Ripp, that’s a financial background<br />

and experience assisting<br />

with the group’s investigations he<br />

said pressured the district to adopt<br />

more transparent and financially<br />

sound practices.<br />

Ripp quit the group after announcing<br />

his candidacy. LWATU<br />

said it will not endorse any candidates,<br />

including Ripp, until hosting<br />

a forum in February.<br />

Still, Ripp, who is running for a<br />

two-year term, is looking to boost<br />

transparency, encourage community<br />

involvement and improve financial<br />

oversight, ensuring surpluses continue.<br />

He also suggested videotaping<br />

meetings — a practice LWATU undertook<br />

— and involving additional<br />

skilled community members on the<br />

Finance Committee.<br />

“It should be the district’s responsibility,<br />

not the community’s responsibility,”<br />

he said. “They should<br />

be transparent willingly, not through<br />

outside forces.”<br />

For high school educator Beth<br />

Janus-Doyle, that’s bringing a<br />

teacher’s perspective and looking<br />

out for the interests of students and<br />

academics. A good board is a variety,<br />

she said.<br />

“A successful school board is a<br />

balanced school board: one that<br />

has all types of people on it,” Janus-<br />

Doyle, who is running for a twoyear<br />

term, wrote in a statement. “I<br />

am the ideal stakeholder: longtime<br />

resident of an underserved grade<br />

school district [Mokena School<br />

District 159], mother of an upcoming<br />

high school student, longtime<br />

educator and concerned community<br />

member.”<br />

While her concerns echoed those<br />

of mistrust and what she said was<br />

a lack of communication, she also<br />

said her perspective offers a look at<br />

how board decisions and larger educational<br />

issues affect day-to-day operations<br />

and can help push already<br />

strong students into high achievers.<br />

“I thought, ‘this is really interesting<br />

to me that this board has<br />

functioned without a teacher for as<br />

long as it has,’” Janus-Doyle said.<br />

“I don’t have any vested interested<br />

other than representing students,<br />

and I don’t think they’ve done a<br />

good job of that.”

FROM THE MOKENA MESSENGER<br />

Mokena artist takes first in<br />

sand sculpting competition<br />

Brian Turnbough says he<br />

just likes to make stuff.<br />

Whether that means painting<br />

murals or sculpting sand,<br />

the Mokena resident enjoys<br />

creating art that is meaningful<br />

to him.<br />

Recently, Turnbough took<br />

first place in the Master Solo<br />

Division at the 30th Annual<br />

American Sandsculpting<br />

Championship in Fort Myers<br />

Beach, Florida, with a sculpture<br />

titled “Finding Peace.”<br />

The sculpture features a<br />

tree with birds taking flight<br />

around it.<br />

“It’s a little bit abstract,<br />

but I did the sculpture in<br />

memory of my dad,” Turnbough<br />

said.<br />

“[The sculpture is] basically<br />

about nature, and how<br />

I can look at trees and birds<br />

and find myself in nature,<br />

and it brings me peace in<br />

times when maybe other<br />

parts of my life seem chaotic<br />

or crazy.”<br />

He said that philosophy<br />

is something his dad taught<br />

him — that nature can be a<br />

way to remove oneself from<br />

the stress of everyday life<br />

and find strength through<br />

that peace.<br />

NLFPD more than doubles<br />

support for Wreaths Across<br />

America program<br />

Steve Engledow started<br />

placing wreaths at Abraham<br />

Lincoln National Cemetery<br />

in 2011 after his father, Harry<br />

Lee, died.<br />

The late Engledow was a<br />

veteran who served during<br />

World War II and is buried at<br />

the cemetery.<br />

Since then, the younger<br />

Engledow has continued<br />

traveling to Elwood every<br />

year before Christmas<br />

to help out with Wreaths<br />

Across America.<br />

Steve Engledow has been<br />

the New Lenox Fire Chief<br />

since October 2014. This<br />

year, Engledow and staff did<br />

not visit the cemetery alone,<br />

as a busload of volunteers<br />

took the trip with them Dec.<br />

17 to Elwood to pay homage<br />

to the veterans who have<br />

died.<br />

This past year was the first<br />

year the New Lenox Fire<br />

Protection District collected<br />

donations for wreaths, which<br />

cost $15 each. It raised approximately<br />

$6,000, which<br />

allowed the district to place<br />

wreaths on roughly 400<br />

graves.<br />

This year, the district easily<br />

surpassed their goal with<br />

$16,000 raised and placing<br />

more than 1,000 wreaths.<br />

From the assistant editor<br />

Judy Herder a role model for others<br />

Amanda Stoll<br />

a.stoll@22ndcenturymedia.com<br />

I<br />

never knew Judy<br />

Herder, and I’m probably<br />

one of the few who<br />

didn’t.<br />

Being new to the area<br />

and new to this job prevented<br />

that, but I’m sure in no<br />

time I would have crossed<br />

paths with her.<br />

I can’t imagine having<br />

enough time to accomplish<br />

everything that she did<br />

and still find time to do the<br />

things I enjoy.<br />

From the stories I’ve<br />

heard so far, Herder wasn’t<br />

just integrally involved<br />

sometimes. She was involved<br />

all the time.<br />

It seems she was constantly<br />

starting a new<br />

project or continuing an old<br />

one, and all the while still<br />

finding time to play bridge,<br />

meet with her women’s<br />

investment group and travel<br />

the world.<br />

When I met with some of<br />

her friends shortly after her<br />

death, I found myself wishing<br />

I’d known her. Everything<br />

I’ve heard about her is<br />

so inspiring.<br />

Kind, friendly, generous,<br />

funny, passionate, hard<br />

working and loving were<br />

all words I’ve heard her<br />

described as — and I’m sure<br />

the list could go on and on.<br />

Paula Wallrich, one of<br />

her longtime friends and<br />

neighbors, recounted how<br />

each year on Christmas Eve<br />

Herder would show up on<br />

her front porch with a plate<br />

of cookies and a jar of her<br />

homemade raspberry jam.<br />

Wallrich was the one who<br />

had the idea to tie ribbons<br />

on the tree outside the<br />

Herder’s home, a story that<br />

ran in The Station last week.<br />

Despite the cold, dozens if<br />

not hundreds of people have<br />

visited to tie a ribbon on a<br />

branch to say goodbye.<br />

She’s already been<br />

honored countless times,<br />

including at last week’s<br />

Village Board meeting when<br />

nearly every member of the<br />

board and the mayor spoke<br />

about her.<br />

As we might try, I’m not<br />

sure anything could cover<br />

the magnitude of her impact<br />

on this community.<br />

As her friend Harry<br />

D’Ercole said to me,<br />

“Things would just happen,<br />

she would just get things<br />

done. Nobody even knew<br />

everything she was doing,<br />

and we’re going to find that<br />

out as things fall through<br />

the cracks in the next year.”<br />

I don’t think there are<br />

many people in the world<br />

who could fill Herder’s<br />

shoes, and it would probably<br />

be easier to let some<br />

of the things she did fall to<br />

the wayside.<br />

D’Ercole said “she hated<br />

recognition,” and, while it’s<br />

hard for us to refrain from<br />

that, I think she would want<br />

the community to pick up<br />

right where she left off.<br />

So in the coming year,<br />

make a resolution to volunteer<br />

your time, find out<br />

where you can help, offer<br />

your support to your neighbors<br />

and friends and spend<br />

time in the community.<br />

I think we could all stand<br />

to be a little more like Judy<br />

in the coming year. I know<br />

I could.<br />

100 dancers perform in 'Nutcracker' twist<br />

Amanda Del Buono<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

Megan Acke was taken<br />

aback when two young girls<br />

approached her asking for<br />

her autograph. At 15 years<br />

old, no one had asked for her<br />

autograph before.<br />

The Homer Glen resident<br />

had been dancing with Ballet<br />

5:8 School of the Arts for<br />

five years, and performed<br />

as Anastasias, one of God’s<br />

traveling servants, in the<br />

dance company’s second<br />

production of “Beyond the<br />

Nutcracker.”<br />

“It’s great to see all our<br />

hard work and for other people<br />

to see it, and for God’s<br />

glory to come through,”<br />

Acke said.<br />

Lockport Township High<br />

School hosted Ballet 5:8<br />

School of the Arts’ second<br />

annual production of “Beyond<br />

the Nutcracker,” the<br />

dance company’s rendition<br />

of the holiday classic.<br />

Showings of the fulllength<br />

ballet took place on<br />

Saturday, Dec. 17, and Sunday,<br />

Dec. 18. The production<br />

included a cast of more than<br />

100 dancers and dazzling<br />

handmade costumes.<br />

Ballet 5:8 School of the<br />

Arts is a part of the larger<br />

Ballet 5:8 nonprofit organization<br />

located in Frankfort.<br />

It’s also a Christian-based<br />

organization that brings a<br />

tinge of faith into each performance<br />

in hopes of encouraging<br />

conversation, according<br />

to artistic director<br />

Julianna Slager, who also<br />

wrote the choreography for<br />

the ballet.<br />

After a successful run last<br />

year, the dance company decided<br />

to continue with the<br />

same show this year and<br />

hopes to run it as an annual<br />

holiday production henceforth,<br />

Slager said.<br />

“We premiered it last year,<br />

5:8 School of the Arts' “Beyond the Nutcracker,” Dec. 17-18 at Lockport Township High<br />

School. Photos by Laurie Fanelli/22nd Century Media<br />

this is the second year, and we<br />

plan to continue,” said Slager.<br />

“Beyond the Nutcracker”<br />

features the original musical<br />

score from “The Nutcracker,”<br />

composed by Peter Ilyich<br />

Tchaikovsky, but offers a<br />

twist to the storyline of the<br />

ballet, she said.<br />

“What we did is we looked<br />

at [“The Nutcracker”] from<br />

a different perspective. …<br />

‘What is Christmas actually<br />

about?’” Slager said. “So<br />

this story centers on Emma<br />

learning the story of Christmas.”<br />

Daria Caravette performed<br />

the role of Mary alongside<br />

Antonio Fernandez, a dancer<br />

from the professional dancing<br />

arm of Ballet 5:8, who<br />

took on the role of Joseph.<br />

The 16-year-old New Lenox<br />

resident has been dancing<br />

for roughly five years, she<br />

said.<br />

“I love the story Miss. Julianna<br />

brings across,” Caravette<br />

said. “I feel like the<br />

audience gets the message.”<br />

While it’s a holiday classic,<br />

the ballet also is a valuable<br />

educational tool for the student<br />

dancers because of the<br />

stamina required to perform<br />

the full two-hour performance,<br />

as well as the technical<br />

skills needed, Slager said.<br />

“Our goal is to train young<br />

girls to be professional dancers,”<br />

she said. “… No matter<br />

what company they dance<br />

for, they’ll have to perform<br />

it. So, it’s very valuable to<br />

learn ‘The Nutcracker.’”<br />

Sophia Snider, 16, of New<br />

Lenox performed the role<br />

of Emma Cooper, the main<br />

character, and said that the<br />

performance is a challenge<br />

as a dancer.<br />

“[It’s challenging] having<br />

the stamina to do the show<br />

twice and keep your technique<br />

and emotions intact,”<br />

she said. “… It’s a good<br />

challenge for me. I think I’ve<br />

grown a lot as a dancer.”<br />

For parents in the audience,<br />

the progression of the students<br />

on stage was evident.<br />

Tammy Gadomski of Green<br />

Garden said that after watching<br />

the show twice on Saturday<br />

she wanted to come back<br />

again on Sunday, despite the<br />

fact that her daughter wasn’t<br />

performing on Sunday.<br />

“I like the story line — it’s<br />

a good story line,” she said.<br />

“I’ve seen some ballets that<br />

don’t have good story lines.”<br />

She added that Ballet 5:8<br />

School of the Arts has helped<br />

her 10-year-old daughter to<br />

quickly progress as a dancer.<br />

“Ballet 5:8 is very passionate,”<br />

she said. “I think<br />

they put their hearts into<br />

teaching the kids.”<br />

Heidi and Dario Caravette<br />

also said that they have seen<br />

their daughter Daria grow as<br />

a dancer.<br />

“It’s fun to watch them<br />

grow and see how much better<br />

they get,” Dario said.<br />

Contributing Editor<br />

Angelo’s Fresh Markets<br />

are centered on tradition and<br />

value.<br />

The small neighborhood<br />

deli and butcher shop —<br />

which resides at a plaza on<br />

183rd Street in Tinley Park<br />

— gives owner Carla Bolin<br />

an opportunity to let customers<br />

in on her definition of<br />

good Italian food.<br />

Bolin said it is no secret<br />

there is a rivalry between<br />

Northern Italy and Sicily, especially<br />

when it comes cooking,<br />

and members of her family<br />

have gone head-to-head to<br />

compare.<br />

“They’re very different,”<br />

the 52-year-old Chicago<br />

Heights native said.<br />

The idea behind Bolin’s<br />

markets — which also have<br />

found homes in Flossmoor<br />

and Schererville, Indiana —<br />

is an effort to showcase the<br />

stronger bond that exists between<br />

food and family.<br />

“I actually grew up in the<br />

restaurant business,” Bolin<br />

said. “My parents had restaurants<br />

from [when I was<br />

in] seventh grade on, and<br />

they were called Angelo’s.”<br />

Equipped with a marketing<br />

degree, a young Bolin<br />

found herself dedicating the<br />

next few chapters of her life<br />

working in that field. But an<br />

unfortunate circumstance<br />

forced her to reevaluate her<br />

career options.<br />

And opening Angelo’s felt<br />

like the next step.<br />

“If it’s in your blood, it’s<br />

in your blood,” she said.<br />

“You’re always around food,<br />

you love food, you want to<br />

do food.”<br />

Rows of hand-picked imported<br />

condiments, tomato<br />

sauces and olive oils are displayed<br />

on a long shelf placed<br />

Angelo’s Fresh Markets is known for its homemade<br />

lasagna, sold in full slices ($7.99) or half ($4.99). F. Amanda<br />

Tugade/22nd Century Media<br />

in the middle of the store, dividing<br />

the freezer aisle from<br />

the deli counter.<br />

Those freezers are reserved<br />

for Bolin’s seafood selection,<br />

which ranges from tilapia to<br />

swordfish, as well as homemade<br />

pasta and raviolis.<br />

Small tables that seat a<br />

maximum of four people<br />

are scattered throughout for<br />

those who want to stop in for<br />

lunch and grab a quick bite<br />

of Angelo’s sandwiches.<br />

Enter The Papa Phil.<br />

Bolin said that was the<br />

first sandwich featured on<br />

the market’s menu, and it<br />

was tailored to her father’s<br />

favorites. The $6.99 cold<br />

sandwich includes a hearty<br />

serving of Italian roast<br />

beef, topped with provolone<br />

cheese and red peppers.<br />

“After that, it was like,<br />

‘What’s his favorite thing?’”<br />

Bolin said. “He loved the<br />

Rat Pack.”<br />

The Frank Sinatra ($6.99)<br />

is built on a Tuscan Panne<br />

bread and features of mesquite<br />

smoked turkey; cheddar<br />

cheese; applewood<br />

smoked, all natural bacon;<br />

lettuce; and artichoke<br />

spread.<br />

Bolin’s grab-and-go cooler<br />

is frequently replenished<br />

with homemade meatballs<br />

and slices of lasagna.<br />

High-quality cuts<br />

What should not go unnoticed<br />

for Angelo’s Fresh<br />

Markets is Bolin’s commitment<br />

to selling meat.<br />

And that is where the conversations<br />

with customers,<br />

sometimes, take a turn.<br />

“Most people that don’t<br />

know anything about meat,”<br />

Bolin said. “I’ll give them<br />

a little explanation and try<br />

to start them off on a very<br />

small thing, maybe a small<br />

flat iron or small sirloin<br />

cubes, which are made for<br />

pot roasts. Once you’ve tried<br />

that, trust me."<br />

That is why Bolin can usually<br />

be found right behind<br />

the counter. She loves to offer<br />

a helping hand.<br />

"Once you try something<br />

small, then you understand<br />

and appreciate it," Bolin<br />

said.

New Frankfort movie theater sells out soft opening<br />

Ryan Esguerra<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

When Frankfort residents<br />

were looking for a night out<br />

at the movies, they had to<br />

travel miles outside of town<br />

limits to do so — or just stay<br />

home.<br />

But with the opening of<br />

Emagine Frankfort, the trip<br />

to the movie theater just got<br />

a lot shorter.<br />

On Friday, Dec. 23, the<br />

Michigan-based movie theater<br />

company held a soft<br />

opening, which saw three<br />

sellout crowds for the three<br />

movie screened: “Sing!,”<br />

“Rogue One: A Star Wars<br />

Story” and “Passengers.”<br />

Emagine owner and CEO<br />

Paul Glantz said he saw opportunity<br />

in creating the first<br />

Emagine in Illinois in Frankfort.<br />

“We found that Frankfort<br />

was a really underserved<br />

market, in that it had people<br />

who wanted that movie going<br />

experience,” Glantz said.<br />

On Friday, guests were<br />

greeted by employees holding<br />

champagne and apple<br />

juice in a large foyer entrance<br />

decorated as a futuristic<br />

1920s film. Near the<br />

ticket booth and express<br />

ticketing stands electronic<br />

movie displays. To the right<br />

is a full-service bar with a<br />

seating area highlighted by a<br />

glossy piano resembling that<br />

of an old-style cocktail bar.<br />

“We are blessed to be surrounded<br />

by some very talented<br />

people,” Glantz said.<br />

“Our designer, June Lester,<br />

has quite an eye for color<br />

and texture. Similar designs<br />

have been well received in<br />

our theater in Michigan.”<br />

Beside the bar, a large<br />

concession area carries theater<br />

favorites such as Slurpees,<br />

popcorn and candy, as<br />

well as a large wood-burning<br />

Emagine employee Brittany Agnew pours champagne<br />

during the theater's soft opening Dec. 23.<br />

pizza oven and a series of<br />

giant soda pop dispensing<br />

machines.<br />

Glantz said these upscale<br />

amenities are needed<br />

to compete with watching<br />

movies at home.<br />

“Movie theaters have<br />

changed in overall guest expectation,<br />

and I think that<br />

has been changed by the enhancements<br />

in technology,”<br />

Glantz said. “The home environment<br />

is so good these<br />

days, that if guests aren’t<br />

given a compelling reason<br />

to leave their homes, they<br />

could just as easily stay in.<br />

So to me, that means we<br />

have to raise our level of service.”<br />

At the soft opening, only<br />

three theaters were open, but<br />

in its completion, Emagine<br />

will feature 10 theaters —<br />

one of which is an IMAX —<br />

ranging in size from 77-210<br />

seats. Each chair is a large<br />

La-Z-Boy recliner that aims<br />

to give patrons the comfort<br />

of home in front of Emagine's<br />

50-foot big screens.<br />

“The truth is, we all need<br />

an outlet for escapism,”<br />

Glantz said. “I think that<br />

coming into a beautiful setting<br />

like this gives the escape<br />

that many are looking for.”<br />

Sean McNamee, along<br />

his wife Jeanne McNamee<br />

and their son Sean, came to<br />

the Emagine opening from<br />

Mokena in search of a venue<br />

close by that they could<br />

spend a night out as a family.<br />

Sean McNamee said that he<br />

was blown away by Emagine,<br />

and is excited for it to be<br />

in the town next door.<br />

“We are so excited because<br />

there is no theater in<br />

the area like this that serves<br />

food and drinks and has a<br />

quality similar to this one.”<br />

McNamee said. “It is beautiful,<br />

very well done and<br />

professional. The staff seem<br />

very nice and it is cool to see<br />

that corporate came out to.<br />

We are impressed.”<br />

Emagine Frankfort features reclining seats in all 10 of its auditoriums. The theater had a<br />

soft opening last week. Photos by Ryan Esguerra/22nd Century Media<br />

The theater's lobby includes automatic ticketing, a full bar and concessions such as ovenbaked<br />

pizza.<br />

Emagine will host an official<br />

ribbon cutting ceremony<br />

Jan. 19 that will also act as a<br />

charity fundraiser for two local<br />

charities, the Illinois Philharmonic<br />

Orchestra and the<br />

Children’s Kidswork Museum.<br />

After that, all 10 theaters<br />

will be open.<br />

Glantz said he is appreciative<br />

of all of the support that<br />

the Frankfort community<br />

has given, and he said that<br />

he is looking forward to giving<br />

back.<br />

“The community response<br />

couldn’t be better, everyone<br />

has been so gracious,”<br />

Glantz said. “This just reinforces<br />

to me what a wonderful<br />

community Frankfort is.”

and a TD in a 31-24 home victory<br />

over William Jewell.<br />

“A lot of those catches<br />

were really good ones,”<br />

Slager said. “I had a touchdown<br />

catch [of 11 yards in<br />

the first quarter for the Bulldogs<br />

initial score] and I also<br />

recovered the onside kick to<br />

seal it. Plus, it was Homecoming.”<br />

Home in Frankfort is<br />

where Slager learned the<br />

game. At North he earned<br />

All-State, All-Area and All-<br />

SouthWest Suburban Conference<br />

honors. He caught 70<br />

passes for over 1,400 yards<br />

From Page 39<br />

with each other about possibly<br />

hosting a similar event<br />

in the future. Byrd sounded<br />

like he was in favor of it but<br />

said it’d be imperative for the<br />

team to show up competitively<br />

to make it worth it.<br />

There didn’t appear to be<br />

any logistical or safety issues<br />

with the wrestlers competing<br />

on a mat up on the stage.<br />

Prior to each match, the two<br />

wrestlers in that weight class<br />

walked to the stage from the<br />

back of the darkened theater<br />

while lights flashed and their<br />

chosen walk-up music played.<br />

“It was really cool walking<br />

up,” Diehl said. “It was pretty<br />

chilling with all the lights<br />

and the music and the fans<br />

screaming. It was cool. I really<br />

wish the outcome would<br />

have been different.”<br />

The timing of the event allowed<br />

for approximately 20<br />

former East wrestlers to return<br />

to campus and catch up<br />

with Byrd for the first time in<br />

South, 10 a.m.<br />

Girls basketball<br />

Tournament<br />

and 19 touchdowns in two<br />

years as a varsity starter. He<br />

was an All-State Academic<br />

recipient and a member of<br />

the National Honor Society.<br />

“I would say at North I<br />

learned how strong a team<br />

could be,” said Slager, who<br />

helped the Phoenix to a school<br />

best record of 11-1 as a senior.<br />

“We came together and<br />

trusted each other as a team. If<br />

we were behind, our offense<br />

knew we could come back.”<br />

Now Slager, who is majoring<br />

in business, will comeback<br />

for three more season<br />

for the Bulldogs.<br />

“My only goal now is to<br />

have a better season than last<br />

year,” he said.<br />

several years. Among those<br />

was Joey Allegretti, who was<br />

a freshman during Byrd’s<br />

first year coaching at East.<br />

“The kids all coming back<br />

shows that they bought into<br />

what we were preaching the<br />

whole time about being family<br />

and caring about them as<br />

people,” Byrd said. “This is<br />

a pretty cool thing and kind<br />

of takes the sting off the loss<br />

getting to see so many familiar<br />

faces. But it’s still a tough<br />

sting.”<br />

East wrestled in the Palatine<br />

Wrestling Invite on<br />

Tuesday. It begins the second<br />

half of its season with a dual<br />

meet against Bolingbrook on<br />

Jan. 6 and the Oswego Mega<br />

Duals on Jan. 7.<br />

“We’re just now to the<br />

halfway mark, and we’re far<br />

from done,” Byrd said. “I’m<br />

not going to give up on this<br />

group, and I hope they don’t<br />

give up on us (coaches). How<br />

we bounce back from this<br />

when we come back from<br />

Christmas will tell you who<br />

we really are.”<br />

10 Questions<br />

with Kara Bouck<br />

Bouck is a Mokena resident<br />

and Lincoln-Way East High<br />

School junior. This is her<br />

second year on the high<br />

school’s varsity poms and<br />

dance team.<br />

How did you get started<br />

with poms and dance?<br />

I had always danced since<br />

I was little. My freshman<br />

year, I did a conservatory<br />

program. It got really intense,<br />

so I decided I wanted<br />

to do something a little more<br />

involved in school. I had<br />

Coach [Karisa] Casey as a<br />

teacher and she always talked<br />

about it. So I tried out and<br />

I’ve been on it ever since.<br />

What’s your favorite<br />

part about poms and<br />

dance?<br />

The team atmosphere,<br />

the [encouragement], all the<br />

friends I’ve made from it.<br />

It’s just a really positive organization.<br />

What is the hardest<br />

part about poms and<br />

dance?<br />

People don’t often think<br />

of dance as an athletic and<br />

demanding sport. But it’s really<br />

hard to be at the level of<br />

athlete that we are and also<br />

look good, and be performing<br />

all the time.<br />

What’s one thing people<br />

might not know about<br />

poms and dance?<br />

We actually do a lot of<br />

cardio. We run about a mile<br />

every single practice, condition<br />

for up to an hour and<br />

then run the routine multiple<br />

times. So we do a lot of cardio,<br />

a lot of physical conditioning,<br />

and I think people<br />

don’t always realize how<br />

much athletics goes into getting<br />

ready to perform.<br />

What have you learned<br />

from your coaches?<br />

Both of my coaches are<br />

very calm and collected<br />

and encouraging. They’re<br />

always encouraging us, and<br />

they’re always telling us,<br />

‘we’ll fix it, we’ll fix it.’<br />

They see the positive side of<br />

every situation, and [don't]<br />

get so stressed out. I think<br />

that’s been a good influence<br />

on me, just how to handle<br />

situations really well.<br />

What has been your<br />

favorite moment so far<br />

this season?<br />

This year, because of<br />

[North] closing, we’ve had<br />

a lot of obstacles thrown at<br />

us. At our first competition,<br />

we had just finished choreographing<br />

our dance. We just<br />

finished learning it the day<br />

before we competed, and<br />

we all went out there with<br />

a very positive attitude and<br />

managed to do a pretty decent<br />

performance for how<br />

little time we had to prepare.<br />

I think that shows our character<br />

and how we are able to<br />

face those obstacles.<br />

What are you<br />

particularly proud of?<br />

I was chosen [to be a captain]<br />

this year as a junior,<br />

which was a big accomplishment<br />

for me and a huge<br />

honor. As a team, we are one<br />

of the only Lincoln-Ways<br />

that pursues a very different<br />

style. We don’t do hip-hop,<br />

and I think that’s a big part<br />

of who we are — we go in<br />

a different direction. I’m really<br />

proud of what we’ve<br />

made this year.<br />

What are your plans<br />

after high school?<br />

I’ve always wanted to<br />

dance professionally or on<br />

a college team. I’m looking<br />

at Iowa, and potentially auditioning<br />

there or some other<br />

dance team. I’m also looking<br />

into auditioning for dance<br />

companies in New York,<br />

hopefully.<br />

Who is your role model?<br />

My mom. I’m the oldest<br />

Photo submitted<br />

of five kids, and she has a<br />

lot on her plate. Watching<br />

her and how she handles us<br />

and how she is so encouraging<br />

of everything we do. All<br />

my brothers and sisters are<br />

involved in activities and<br />

sports, and she is always at<br />

all of our games and all of<br />

our competitions, cheering<br />

us on. She’s always pushing<br />

us toward whatever our<br />

dreams are.<br />

Who is your favorite<br />

athlete or dancer?<br />

Misty Copeland is a huge<br />

dancing role model right<br />

now. She’s defying all the<br />

stereotypes and obstacles,<br />

and doing what her heart desires.<br />

Truman State finds a catch in former North wide receiver<br />

Randy Whalen<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

Drew Slager is no longer<br />

“the best kept secret.”<br />

Slager, who was in the last<br />

graduating class at Lincoln-<br />

Way North this past spring,<br />

showed there was no secret<br />

to his success as a freshman<br />

football player this season at<br />

Truman State University.<br />

As a wide receiver, he<br />

stepped up and led Truman<br />

in receiving with 39 catches<br />

for 625 yards. That earned<br />

him an honorable mention<br />

on the Great Lakes Valley<br />

Conference All-Conference<br />

team. But not only was he a<br />

team leader, he helped lead<br />

the team to new heights. The<br />

Bulldogs earned a share of<br />

their first GLVC title, which<br />

was their first in any league<br />

since 1988, with a 7-1 league<br />

record.<br />

Truman (8-3 overall)<br />

shared the GLVC championship<br />

with Southwest Baptist,<br />

but won the head-to-head<br />

matchup 26-16 on October 8<br />

on the road. It was the most<br />

conference wins by a Bulldog<br />

team since 1990 and the<br />

16th time a Truman team has<br />

won at least eight games in<br />

a season. Overall, it was the<br />

27th conference championship<br />

for the Bulldogs.<br />

For Slager, it’s all been a<br />

whirlwind that started about<br />

a year ago.<br />

“I had received a letter<br />

from them during the season,<br />

and afterward I sent<br />

them a letter,” Slager said of<br />

how the process of going to<br />

Truman State began. “I started<br />

talking to them in mid<br />

December and went there for<br />

a visit on Jan. 15.<br />

“I had two more visits<br />

scheduled after that, but only<br />

went on one to the University<br />

of Indianapolis. But right<br />

away, I pretty much knew<br />

I wanted to go to Truman<br />

State.”<br />

What sold Slager on the<br />

university in Kirksville,<br />

Missouri?<br />

“It was set up a lot different<br />

than other places and I<br />

liked that,” he said. “They<br />

let us [as recruits] hang out<br />

with the kids there and everyone<br />

was awesome. And<br />

they were straight-up with<br />

you on everything. They<br />

didn’t tell you what you<br />

wanted to hear. They said,<br />

‘if you work hard, you get<br />

a chance.’ That’s how they<br />

are.”<br />

Working hard is something<br />

that came natural for<br />

Slager. George Czart, who<br />

was head coach at North for<br />

all eight years the school was<br />

open and guided the Phoenix<br />

to six playoff berths in that<br />

time, saw that right away.<br />

“I’m not surprised at all,”<br />

Czart said of Slager’s success.<br />

“It’s kind of shocking<br />

that more people [from colleges]<br />

couldn’t see what we<br />

could see. Drew was the best<br />

kept secret, and we weren’t<br />

trying to keep him a secret.<br />

“You had to see him to appreciate<br />

him. He’s not the<br />

biggest kid [being 5-foot-9],<br />

but has the physical attributes.<br />

He could move quick,<br />

has great hands and a lot of<br />

ball savvy. It just seemed<br />

like he’d come in and make<br />

a play. He played every<br />

[skill] offensive position for<br />

us at one time or another. He<br />

even played some special<br />

teams and defense. He’s just<br />

a spectacular athlete.”<br />

The move from Frankfort<br />

to Missouri wasn’t easy to<br />

start, but Slager settled in<br />

pretty quickly.<br />

“It’s five and a half hours<br />

from home, in northeast<br />

Missouri, and there’s a<br />

whole bunch of cornfields,”<br />

he said. “It’s laid back and it<br />

was tough at first. But then I<br />

made a whole lot of friends<br />

pretty easily and that made<br />

the transition a lot better.”<br />

Richards last year in Oak Lawn. Paul Bergstrom/22nd Century Media<br />

The preparation still<br />

wasn’t easy.<br />

“I’d been training in the<br />

offseason for years,” Slager<br />

said. “I caught a lot of passes<br />

over the summer, but coming<br />

into college I really had<br />

to study for the new offense.<br />

It’s a lot more complex and<br />

took a lot of mental work.”<br />

But by the time the season<br />

opened, Slager had impressed<br />

the coaches so much<br />

that he was in the starting<br />

lineup.<br />

“Drew had a breakthrough<br />

season as a true freshman,”<br />

Truman State head coach<br />

Gregg Nesbitt said. “We initially<br />

thought he would benefit<br />

with a year to red shirt.<br />

But it became apparent very<br />

quickly that he was a complete<br />

player and fully ready<br />

to compete in spite of being<br />

a true freshman.<br />

“He has many attributes:<br />

great work ethic, above average<br />

daily preparation for a<br />

young player and excellent<br />

football intelligence. He’s a<br />

complete wide receiver who<br />

is willing to block along with<br />

play in the kicking game, but<br />

what separates Drew without<br />

a doubt are his hands. He<br />

is among the best I have seen<br />

at catching the football over<br />

my 37-year career.”<br />

Slager caught at least one<br />

pass in every game for the<br />

Bulldogs this season and<br />

scored a pair of touchdowns.<br />

Twice, he had six receptions<br />

in a game, including on<br />

Sept. 10 when he hauled in<br />

a 14-yard TD pass and had<br />

73 total yards in a 35-3 victory<br />

at home over Malone.<br />

His longest reception of the<br />

year, a 60-yard catch, came<br />

the next week in a 44-20 win<br />

at Missouri S&T, and he had<br />

a season-high 90 yards in a<br />

game with three receptions<br />

on Oct. 8 in a 26-16 win at<br />

Southwest Baptist.<br />

But his favorite game of the<br />

season took place on Oct. 22<br />

with six catches for 65 yards<br />

Wrestling<br />

Griffins 'beat up pretty bad' in Joliet West loss<br />

East’s top players of<br />

the week<br />

1. Nick Mihajlovich<br />

(ABOVE)<br />

Mihajlovich, a<br />

sophomore, cut to<br />

3. Sammy Diehl<br />

Following up<br />

football season, the<br />

heavyweight moved<br />

to 16-0 during the<br />

Griffins' dual against<br />

Joliet West. Diehl<br />

is ranked fourth in<br />

the state by Illinois<br />

Matmen and pinned<br />

Robert Ford.<br />

Frank Gogola<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

Lincoln-Way East wrestler<br />

Sammy Diehl’s 16th win<br />

of the season was more sour<br />

than sweet.<br />

The senior moved to 16-0<br />

on the season but was one of<br />

only four East wrestlers who<br />

won in the Griffins’ 45-21<br />

loss to Joliet West on Dec.<br />

23. It was hardly the performance<br />

East was hoping for as<br />

it hosted its first-ever wrestling<br />

match in the school’s<br />

Performing Arts Center.<br />

Diehl, ranked the No. 4<br />

heavyweight in Class 3A by<br />

Illinois Matmen, beat Robert<br />

Ford, an honorable mention<br />

on the list, by pinning him at<br />

2:26 in the only matchup of<br />

ranked wrestlers. His 16-0<br />

start comes on the heels of<br />

playing an entire football season<br />

with about one week of<br />

rest in between sports.<br />

“It means I’m 16-0 right<br />

now,” Diehl said of what being<br />

16-0 means to him. “It<br />

doesn’t mean a whole lot<br />

until we get to conference<br />

and postseason. We try not to<br />

look at rankings and record.”<br />

What they shouldn’t have<br />

wanted to look at was the<br />

score. The Griffins trailed<br />

32-6 at intermission. When<br />

Adam Aguirre (160) lost by<br />

major decision, East was<br />

mathematically eliminated<br />

from winning the meet, down<br />

39-6 with five matches left.<br />

East wrestlers were pinned<br />

four times; two pins came in<br />

the final four seconds of a<br />

period. One lost by technical<br />

fall, one by major decision<br />

and four by decision.<br />

Junior Tommy Golden<br />

(106) and sophomore Nate<br />

Ernst (120) made their first<br />

varsity starts of the season<br />

because of injuries. Golden<br />

lost by technical fall. Ernst<br />

was pinned.<br />

“Tonight’s performance<br />

wasn’t just (the wrestlers’)<br />

letdown,” East coach Tyrone<br />

Byrd said. “It was the coaching<br />

staff as well. We all share<br />

in this loss and all need to do<br />

a little soul searching. We<br />

didn’t just get beat; we got<br />

beat up pretty bad.”<br />

Three of East’s four wins<br />

came in the final four matches<br />

to make the final score look<br />

more respectable. Sophomore<br />

Jacob Abeja (113), sophomore<br />

Nick Mihajlovich (170)<br />

and Diehl (285) won by pin.<br />

Junior Chris Wilder (195)<br />

scored a victory by decision.<br />

Abeja and Mihajlovich<br />

were challenged to cut weight<br />

for the meet. Abeja went<br />

down from the 120-pound<br />

weight class to 113, and Mihajlovich<br />

cut from 182 to 170.<br />

The event, dubbed the<br />

Throwdown in the Theater,<br />

had been a work in progress<br />

for Byrd and athletic director<br />

Mark Vander Kooi since<br />

last spring. They saw other<br />

schools do something similar<br />

and thought they could do it<br />

better.<br />

Vander Kooi and Byrd said<br />

they’d compare notes and talk<br />
