Dana Decker had never 

run in a race until Saturday. 

Training for the Chicago 

Marathon, which takes place 

in October, she saw a great 

training opportunity in the 

Lincoln-Way High School 

District 210 Foundation’s 

Half Marathon, which took 

place on Saturday morning. 

“I thought it was a great 

experience,” Decker, a Tinley 

Park resident, said. “It 

was really nice to go off on a 

different path.” 

More than 150 runners 

gathered at Breidert Green in 

Frankfort to participate in the 

Lincoln-Way Foundation’s 

first-ever half marathon. The 

chip-timed half marathon 

started and ended at Breidert 

Green in downtown Frankfort. 

The route snaked west 

on Old Plank Trail then into 

Hickory Creek Forest Preserve 

and turned around at 

the Hickory Creek Barrens. 

Melissa Williams approaches the finish line to win the 

women's division. The event supported the Lincoln-Way 

Foundation's education initiatives. 

The race was previously 

known as the Frankfort Half 

Marathon and was recently 

handed over to the foundation 

in order to benefit a nonprofit, 

said Stacie McGlone, 

chairperson of the event for 

the Lincoln-Way Foundation. 

“Basically, we want to let 

the community know about 

us and create funds that go toward 

our mission,” she said. 

The foundation plans to 

continue the half marathon 

event going forward and intends 

on making improvements 

next year. 

“We just wanted it to be a 

successful event,” McGlone 

said. “Being our first time 

doing the event, we certainly 

learned a lot.” 

All proceeds from the event 

will go toward the foundation’s 

mission to “creatively 

generate financial support

Summit Hill D161 Board of Education 

School Board welcomes, swears in two new members 

Meredith Dobes 


At its first regular meeting 

April 26 following the 

tallying of official results 

from the April 4 Consolidated 

Election, the Summit 

Hill District 161 Board of 

Education welcomed new 

members Joy Murphy and 

Jim Martin and welcomed 

back Board President Rich 

Marron and Board Secretary 

David Faber, who were 

re-elected. 

Murphy and Martin filled 

the seats of former members 

Pam Kohlbacher, who 

did not seek re-election, and 

Rich Ward, who lost as a 

write-in. 

With all members present, 

following the administration 

of the oath of office, 

the School Board unanimously 

voted to reinstall 

Marron as president, Stacey 

Borgens as vice president 

and Faber as secretary, and 

readopted its board policies. 

Under old business, the 

board unanimously approved 

the 2017-2018 

technology budget and the 

2017-2018 operations and 

maintenance budget, which 

were separated from the 

general fiscal year 2018 

budget because projects associated 

with the budgets 

needed to be planned prior 

to the summer, Marron said. 

The technology budget 

includes the installation of 

Wi-Fi, as well as the preparation 

of tablet carts for the 

2017-2018 school year. The 

operations and maintenance 

budget includes the replacement 

of two classroom windows 

at Arbury Hills School, 

the installation of tile floor at 

Indian Trail School and repairs 

for the rear parking lot 

at Hilda Walker School. 

The School Board voted 

4-1-2 in favor of adopting 

an amended budget for fiscal 

year 2017, with Borgens 

voting “no,” and Murphy 

and Martin abstaining. The 

amended budget reflected an 

Round it up 

A brief recap of action and discussion from the April 26 

meeting of the Summit Hill School District 161 Board of 

Education 

· Board members Joy Murphy and Jim Martin abstained 

from the consent agenda vote, while the rest of the board 

voted “yes,” as they said they had questions regarding the 

Treasurer’s Report and bills payable. 

· A new board member orientation is scheduled for May 8 as 

an open meeting. 

· The board unanimously approved the 2017-2018 parent/ 

student handbook, as well as the purchase and installation 

of internal cameras at Summit Hill Junior High School for 

$6,375. 

· Members approved a $27,250 audit services renewal with 

Mack & Associates. 

amended amount of approximately 

$860,000 the district 

received from the State of Illinois, 

Marron said. 

Borgens said she voted 

against the amended budget 

because she does not like the 

practice of amending budgets 

and did not see a reason to 

amend the FY 2017 budget 

because the School Board did 

not legally have to do so. Murphy 

and Martin said they abstained 

because they did not 

know enough about the budget 

to feel comfortable voting 

on it. 

The School Board postponed 

voting on the appointment 

of members to 

serve on committees, as 

Marron said he wanted to 

allow members time to 

consider which committees 

they would like to serve on. 

However, he did appoint 

himself as the Lincoln-Way 

Area Special Education 

District 843 representative 

and Faber as the alternate, 

as those appointments were 

time-sensitive. 

Curriculum update 

Arbury Hills Principal 

John Snipes, who will become 

director of curriculum 

at the beginning of next 

school year, provided the 

School Board with an update 

on the district’s progress 

toward a comprehensive 

grading scale. 

He said that after meetings 

with staff and parents, the 

district is going to move to a 

system where a student’s total 

grade is composed of 75 

percent summative exams, 

which the student takes following 

learning information, 

and 25 percent formative exams, 

which the student takes 

as practice while learning a 

subject. 

Snipes said some parents 

have voiced concerns about 

consistency with grading, 

so the district will continue 

to have separate English 

language arts and math 

committees to work toward 

aligning curriculum and ensuring 

grading is consistent 

with teachers from kindergarten 

through eighth grade. 

He added that educator 

and speaker Rick Wormeli 

will visit the district at 6 

p.m. May 22 at Hilda Walker 

School during Parent 

Night, will address the Assessment 

and Grading Team 

May 23 and will return in 

March 2018 to address all 

staff at a half-day in-service. 

Wormeli will focus 

on curriculum and grading 

consistencies, Snipes said. 

Superintendent Barb 

Rains said that this will 

be a multiyear process, 

and the district’s main focus 

is getting consistency 

in place. 

“That will help us determine 

where to head with 

teachers and parents,” she 

said. “We still have a long 

way to go.” 

Frankfort 157-C welcomes new board members

Gina Briese along with

Frankfort Village Board 

Road repair, wastewater project 

top spending priorities this year 

Kirsten Onsgard, Editor 

The Village has set aside 

nearly $1 million for street 

repairs in its budget that 

takes effect this month. 

The fiscal year 2017- 

2018 budget, approved at 

the Village Board’s April 

24 regular meeting, otherwise 

maintains much of the 

same spending as the previous 

year — including millions 

for the Wastewater 

Treatment Plant consolidation 

project — in addition to 

regular services. 

The half million dollar 

increase in street repairs is 

in response to growth that 

occurred in Frankfort years 

ago when several new streets 

were built, according to 

Trustee Cindy Heath, chair 

of the finance committee. 

“We’re at a point in this 

Village where, we had a lot of 

subdivisions built at the same 

time several years ago, and 

those roads are all now coming 

in this situation where 

we have to look at them and 

we have to start maintaining 

them,” Heath said. 

About half of that funding – 

$400,000 — comes from taxes 

on gasoline and fuel sales, 

and the other $550,000 is 

from the capital development 

fund, which is the result of 

savings from previous years. 

Heath said the Village is 

forecasting about a $1.5 million 

surplus from the 2016- 

2017 fiscal year, which will 

be put toward capital projects. 

“That is the result of our 

very conservative spending 

and planning and management 

of funds within this 

Village,” Heath said. 

The Village will continue 

to pay for its share of the 

St. Francis Road and bridge 

project, expected to total 

Round it up 

A brief recap of action and discussion from the Monday, April 

24, meeting of the Frankfort Village Board 

• Mayor Jim Holland presented outgoing Trustee R. 

Douglas Walker a plaque after serving on the Village Board 

for 16 years. Holland said he especially appreciated the 

thoughtfulness Walker brought to issues and his ability to 

“cut through to the meat of the matter.” Walker was beaten 

in the April 4 election by incoming trustee John Clavio. 

• Village Attorney George Mahoney was named to the 2017 

Class of Laureates by the Illinois State Bar Association’s 

Academy of Illinois Lawyers. Trustee Cindy Heath said the 

Village was “lucky to have someone of his caliber.” 

• Because regulating donation boxes could violate First 

Amendment rights, the Village changed its policy by 

discarding its old ordinance and implementing a new one. 

The Village of Crest Hill was recently sued after it banned 

donation boxes, with a federal court determining that the ban 

infringes on free speech. In response, the Village set new 

standards to regulate them. Prior to the change, residents 

could not place recycling collection boxes on any privately 

owned property. 

about a half million dollars, 

as well as engineering costs 

for Sauk Trail, Harlem Avenue 

and the signal at La- 

Grange and Steger roads. 

Continued work on the 

$60 million Wastewater 

Treatment Plant consolidation 

program is expected to 

cost $18 million this year, 

nearly all of which will be 

financed by a loan from the 

Illinois Environmental Protection 

Agency. The project 

will be repaid over time 

through sewer rate increases. 

The Village also expects to 

earn money from utilities this 

year. The excess will be put 

toward the Wastewater Treatment 

Plant project’s loan 

payments and other projects, 

according to the Village. 

Still, Heath said the Village 

will need to consider 

how it will continue to meet 

future expenses — such as 

increases in police pension 

and road maintenance costs 

— which will be topics of 

discussion going forward. 

“There is some concern 

that managing the way we 

have cannot sustain the ever-increasing 

capital needs 

of this community,” Heath 

said. “We have projects like 

drinking water quality, new 

walking trails, sidewalks 

… snow plows, police cars, 

economic development.” 

She said the board is exploring 

other revenue options 

as future projects come up. 

“[The Village is] looking 

at what we can do to sustain 

that long-term capital need 

— if there are any revenue 

sources we can look at, or 

what we can do to plan — so 

we can continue to supply the 

residents of Frankfort with 

the type of services they need 

and expect from us, while 

still managing ourselves in a 

way that is respectful of their 

money, too,” she said. 

In total, the Village anticipates 

spending about $49 

million in the next fiscal year 

with a total operating surplus 

of about $1.8 million when 

accounting for both government 

and utilities. 

Terminix truck driver used 

heroin before crash, police say 

Kirsten Onsgard, Editor 

A man was allegedly under 

the influence of heroin when 

he crashed a Terminix truck 

through two storefronts in 

Frankfort Square last week, 

according to the Will County 

Sheriff’s Office. 

Frankfort Fire Protection 

District officials administered 

Narcan to 21-yearold 

Stephen Dietrich when 

they responded to the April 

20 crash, according to Will 

County Sheriff’s Office 

spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer. 

Narcan is an antagonist 

that reverses the effects 

of heroin and other opioids. 

Dietrich allegedly used 

heroin before backing out 

of a private driveway on the 

east side of Harlem Avenue 

at about 10 a.m. April 20. His 

company vehicle moved in 

reverse across the four-lane 

road, over a grassy embankment 

and into two parked 

cars before crashing through 

the front of Heatwaves Tanning 

and ABC Bartending 

School. Both businesses are 

in a strip mall in the 7200 

block of West Benton Drive. 

That morning, Heatwaves 

Tanning owner Shearin Jurus 

was standing behind the 

counter of her salon when 

she said she saw a flash of 

white — Dietrich’s Terminix 

truck crashing into her Ford 

Expedition, pushing into a 

Ford Explorer before breaking 

through her storefront. 

She said she was surprised 

that no one was injured 

other than Dietrich, 

who was transported by the 

Frankfort Fire Protection 

District to St. James Olympia 

Field Hospital. 

“No one was harmed — 

people had just left, people 

had just come in, people had 

just parked to open their business 

for the day,” Jurus said.

Frankfort dentist to offer free cleanings, fillings 

Dentistry From The 

Heart will take place 

from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. 

Saturday, May 6 

James Sanchez 

Contributing Editor 

For the past handful of 

years, there’s always a day 

in May when Atrium Family 

Dental in New Lenox is at 

its busiest. Lines are out the 

door and each of the patient 

rooms are occupied throughout 

the day. 

The hustle and bustle is 

something Atrium’s operations 

manager Sara Sudman 

and her husband, Shane, a 

dentist, embrace, despite 

their business not making a 

single penny from the day’s 

work. 

Atrium annually hosts a 

day of free cleanings, fillings 

and extractions as part 

of Dentistry From The Heart 

– a nonprofit worldwide organization 

whose initiative 

is to provide free dental care 

for those in need. This year’s 

event is to take place from 9 

a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, May 

6, at their office located on 

1938 E. Lincoln Highway in 

New Lenox. 

“It’s something that I 

look forward to every year,” 

Shane said, who lives in 

Frankfort with his wife. “I 

enjoy doing what I do, so 

going out and doing a mission 

trip to Honduras [back 

in March] and doing charity 

events, it’s something I’ve 

always wanted to do.” 

Patients will be served on 

a first-come, first-served basis. 

Everybody gets a cleaning, 

and after, they could 

get one filling or extraction. 

Those seeking additional 

fillings or extractions could 

be accommodated, but they 

would have to wait back in 

line so dentists could serve 

all visitors. However, multiple 

teeth could be worked 

Frankfort resident Dr. Shane Sudman of Atrium Family Dental works on Julie Rice during 2016’s Dentistry From The Heart event. 22nd Century Media File Photo 

on in one session if they’re 

next to each other since the 

novocaine would already be 

numbing that area. 

Sara recalled one year 

when a woman asked for all 

eight of her remaining teeth 

to be pulled. All of them were 

unsalvageable, as they were 

either broken or rotted. They 

were all in different areas, 

too, so she went back in line 

multiple times. 

“I could not believe it,” 

Sara said. “She walked in 

with eight teeth and left with 

none. She was on a mission 

to get them all pulled because 

she knew she needed 

dentures. I could understand 

because if you don’t have the 

money to go to the dentist, 

and the alternative is to just 

to get it all pulled to make it 

cheaper in the long run for 

her, then just pull it.” 

Sara said the woman’s other 

teeth were pulled at other 

Dentistry From The Heart 

events, adding that families 

rely on the organization as 

their sole dental provider. 

Sara has dealt with hundreds 

of people since starting the 

program – some from Indiana 

and Michigan. In the 

past, she has seen lines forming 

outside the office as early 

as 6 a.m. 

The planning for the event 

starts a year in advance. Sara 

and Shane have to solidify a 

date to Dentistry From The 

Heart early so it is posted 

on its site. Six months later 

is when they ask vendors to 

donate toothbrushes, toothpaste, 

floss, material for fillings 

and novocaine. 

To help alleviate the workload, 

Shane brings on an additional 

dentist, and now a 

third dentist, who Shane met 

on the mission trip, will also 

contribute. In addition, there 

will be extra hygienists and 

30 volunteers. 

Shane said the most rewarding 

part is the response 

he receives after he’s done 

with the patients, especially 

children who have a positive 

experience after initially 

being afraid to go. He said 

people often overlook how 

a clean mouth can better a 

person’s physical and mental 

health. 

“There are constant research 

studies that show 

that having an unhealthy 

mouth can cause several systemic 

diseases,” Shane said. 

“Whether if it’s a stroke, 

diabetes, pancreatic cancer, 

there’s just so many things 

that are linked to that. 

“People who don’t have 

teeth or have dentures can 

have digestive problems because 

they can’t chew up 

their food properly.” 

As busy as May 6 might 

be, it might feel easier after 

what they experienced 

earlier this spring in Honduras, 

when they provided 

care for hundreds of people 

with seemingly worse oral 

issues in a makeshift clinic. 

Now, Shane and Sara will be 

in the comfort of their own 

office with their own equipment, 

but the goal remains 

the same. 

“Some of the people that 

we see on this day are similar 

to the patients we saw in 

Honduras,” Sara said. “The 

interesting part is whether 

we’re in a third-world country 

or a country where there 

shouldn’t be any poverty, 

there are still people lacking 

dental care and need help.”

with which to enrich and enhance 

the opportunities and educational 

experiences of Lincoln-Way High 

School District 210 students,” according 

to the foundation’s website. 

Lincoln-Way Foundation president 

Dave Zang said that the foundation 

has given more than $4 million 

to the district in 20 years. 

“We provide a lot of technology 

in classrooms,” he said. “What we 

do benefits all students in Lincoln- 

Way. When we make a donation, we 

try to make sure it touches all of the 

kids we can.” 

Supporting the foundation was 

the main purpose of participating 

for some runners. Mokena resident 

Maggie Palermini graduated from 

Lincoln-Way East in 2011 and was 

glad to support the school district. 

“I did this one for the cause, not 

so much for the time,” she said. “It 

was a lot more challenging than I 

thought it would be, but I also like 

a new challenge.” 

The second marathon she participated 

in during April, Palermini 

added that she appreciated that this 

one was close to home. 

Runners approach the end of the course on Old Plank Road Trail. Laurie Fanelli/22nd Century Media 

For others, the event served as a 

kick-off and training opportunity to 

their race season. Frankfort resident 

Bill Gray said that he was participating 

in an effort to get ready for 

another race in May. 

Racing in six to seven races a 

year, he said that he appreciated the 

close parking, water stops and all of 

the volunteers. 

McGlone said that the event was 

benefitted by having many volunteers 

who helped organize and run 

various aspects of the race. 

“I’d like to say thank you to all 

of the sponsors and volunteers and 

their involvement. We couldn’t have 

done it without them,” she said. 

crash 

From Page 5 

After he was discharged, Dietrich 

was arrested and charged 

with driving under the influence 

of drugs, improper backing up, 

operating a motor vehicle without 

a safety certificate and possession 

of a controlled substance. Dietrich 

allegedly was carrying 2 grams of 

heroin and syringes, Hoffmeyer 

said. 

Bond was set at $30,000, which 

he failed to post. He awaits trial 

May 11. 

As a result of the crash, five businesses 

in the strip mall temporarily 

shut down pending building 

inspections. The Terminix truck 

also spilled a diluted pesticide 

substance, according to Frankfort 

Fire Battalion Chief Paul Kinsella, 

which the company cleaned. 

Heatwaves Tanning was closed 

for five days before reopening 

Tuesday, April 24, Jurus said. 

Because her storefront and door 

is boarded up, she is closing at 7 

p.m., instead of 10 p.m. This time 

of year is especially busy for tanning 

because of summer vacations 

and prom, she said. 

“This is our prime — this is 

our prime time,” Jurus said. “This 

was prom [season] right as this 

was happening. I’m very certain 

through that five days of being 

closed that [customers] had to go 

somewhere else.” 

Ninety-six people died from 

heroin, fentanyl and other opioidrelated 

overdoses in 2016 in Will 

County. Jurus said this incident 

was the first time she was personally 

affected by the epidemic. 

Kinsella could not discuss the 

use of Narcan, but said the Frankfort 

Fire Protection District followed 

protocol. 

“It’s harming not just the person 

— they’re putting themselves in 

harm’s way of everybody, especially 

in this instance,” Jurus said. “I 

was in total shock to find out that’s 

what he was doing that day.” 

Terminix did not immediately 

respond to a request for comment. 

ABC Bartending School and Heatwaves Tanning were boarded up after a Terminix truck crashed into the 

storefronts April 20. Shearin Jurus, 12-year owner of Heatwaves Tanning, said her salon was closed for five 

days after the crash. Her truck was also totaled. Kirsten Onsgard/22nd Century Media



Students have a ball for a cause during annual tournament 

Jason Maholy 


The players went by 

names including Elf and 

Alaskan Ice, on teams 

dubbed Not in the Face, The 

Dodgefathers and Sacara 

la Basura – the latter being 

Spanish for “Take Out the 

Trash.” 

Some wore homemade 

“uniforms” bearing their 

team names the front and 

made-up names on the 

back; while others were 

clad in the jerseys of Derrick 

Rose, LeBron James 

and the Flint Tropics’ Clarence 

“Coffee Black” Withers. 

Some went completely 

outside the box and donned 

what can best be described 

as costumes: Superman and 

his red cape; an outlaw’s 

bandana teamed with women’s 

patterned boxer shorts 

worn over leggings; the rare 

combination of an armless 

Captain America T-shirt and 

a necktie. 

Lincoln-Way East students 

put a whole lot of creativity 

into the third annual 

Lincoln-Way East Aaron 

Toppen Memorial Dodgeball 

Tournament, which 

appeared to be as much a 

venue for personal expression 

as it was for bragging 

rights as greatest dodgeball 

team in school. 

In the end, the Wet Bandits 

topped Free O.J. for the 

championship. 

East English teacher 

and Student Council sponsor 

Laura Render said the 

whole production is simply 

about having fun, and raising 

a few hundred dollars 

for charity. 

“I just really think they 

have a great time,” Render 

said. “It was really 

fun to watch them enjoy 

themselves in kind of a 

wholesome-fun sort of way 

at school, which is always 

nice to see. It gives them 

an outlet to play something, 

especially if they’re not in a 

sport right now.” 

The idea of a dodgeball 

tournament was proposed 

three years ago by students 

who thought it would be fun 

thing to do, and the Student 

Council turned it into a fundraiser, 

Render explained. 

Proceeds from the $10 per 

student entry fee went to 

Puppies Behind Bars, which 

trains prison inmates to 

raise service dogs that assist 

wounded veterans, and 

detect explosives for law 

enforcement. 

Puppies Behind Bars 

was chosen as the beneficiary 

by the family of late 

Army Pvt. Aaron Toppen, 

a former Mokena resident 

and East graduate who was 

killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan 

in June 2014. A 

former East Student Council 

sponsor taught Toppen, 

and wanted to pay tribute 

to his memory by using the 

tournament as a fundraiser 

held in his memory, Render 

said.

Standout Student 

Sponsored by Marquette Bank 

Nicky Piunti, Lincoln- 

Way East senior 

Nicky Piunti was chosen as this 

week’s Standout Student for his 

academic excellence. 

What is one essential you 

must have when studying 

and why? 

I need my notebooks. It’s 

easiest to study when I’m 

reading my own writing 

rather than a textbook. 

What do you like to do when 

not in school or studying? 

I like to play video games, 

swim and spend time with 

friends. I also participate in 

clubs at school. 

What is your dream job and 

why? 

I don’t know. I wanted 

to be a teacher when I was 

younger, but I don’t like 

Common Core, so I’m exploring 

other options. 

What is one thing people 

don’t know about you? 

I help my brother run a 

public “Minecraft” server. 

We’re building a community 

together. 

Whom do you look up to and 

why? 

I look up to my parents because 

they’ve supported me 

and helped me become who 

I am today. 

Who is your favorite teacher 

and why? 

It’s hard to choose! I’ve 

had so many great teachers. 

What is your favorite class 

and why? 

Photo submitted 

I love my AP Physics 

class. I enjoy the lab assignments 

because we use math 

(which I feel is my strongest 

subject) and apply it to real 

situations. 

What is one thing that 

stands out about your 

school? 

Our school has a great 

community. Student are 

mostly friendly and helpful, 

and the teachers like their 

students. 

If you could change one thing 

about your school, what 

would it be? 

If school started a little bit 

later, that would be great. 

I’m always tired in the 

mornings. 

What is your favorite thing 

to eat in the cafeteria? 

I usually pack a lunch, but 

the fries at school are some 

of the best I’ve had. No wonder 

they’re so popular. 

What is your best memory 

from school? 

I remember when I was 

inducted into National Honor 

Society. I felt so proud of 

myself that day. 

Standout Student is weekly 

feature in The Station. Nominations 

come from Frankfort 

schools.

From Page 11 

proximately $1,500 in three 

years, according to Render. 

The rules were simple: 

players are eliminated from 

play by either being struck 

by a ball, or throwing a ball 

that is caught by an opponent. 

A player who catches 

a ball, and whose team has 

three or fewer members still 

in the game, gets to reactivate 

a teammate that had 

been eliminated. 

Each of the 12 teams that 

competes consisted of at 

least eight players, and every 

squad had to choose a 

name and “uniform” – although 

the rules pertaining 

to the latter are loose, if 

not altogether nonexistent. 

Several players wore T- 

shirts on which their team’s 

and individual names 

were scribbled in black 

marker. 

“They’re quite creative 

and amusing – they amuse 

themselves, I think,” Render 

said. “How creative 

they get is entirely up to 

them. This is really just a 

way for them to have good 

old-fashioned fun.” 

Some teams consisted 

entirely of members of one 

graduating class, while others 

were mixed. All but two 

squads were composed of 

all boys – one was represented 

by both genders and 

the other, the Student Athletes, 

was all girls. 

“We were actually joking 

about [signing up] at 

first and then we decided 

we should actually do it, 

and we scraped together 

everybody else we could 

find who would actually 

do it with us,” said Student 

Athlete member Abby Aguirre. 

Aguirre, a sophomore, 

joked she was a dodgeball 

veteran because of her 

past experience playing the 

game during the school’s 

Homecoming Olympics. 

She and several of her teammates 

acknowledged it was 

intimidating playing dodgeball 

against squads composed 

entirely of boys. 

“We didn’t expect it to 

be like this, but it is kind 

of fun, too,” Aguirre said 

regarding being the lone allgirls 

team. It doesn’t hurt 

when you get hit, it’s more 

like you’re sad you got hit, 

kind of a depressing feeling.” 

“Nobody hit me with the 

ball, which was nice, because 

it was kind of scary,” 

added Student Athlete member 

Sam Youngren. “But it 

was fun, I had a lot of fun.” 

Jalen Hacha, a freshman 

who couldn’t recall the last 

time he played dodgeball, 

played for Juan’s Crew. The 

team was named after his 

brother, who recruited his 

friends to play. 

“It was fun,” Hacha said 

after his team’s first-round 

contest. “It’s interesting 

playing against people you 

usually wouldn’t talk to, but 

it’s good to play with those 

other people and have fun.”

“The Biggest Loser” winner Danni Allen encourages 

everyone to join her fitness demo Saturday, April 29, during 

Lady - A Women’s Expo at the Tinley Park Convention 

Center. Laurie Fanelli/22nd Century Media 

Fashion, fitness and fun 

combine at 22nd Century 

Media’s women’s expo 

Laurie Fanelli 


On Saturday, April 29, 

south suburban women converged 

on the Tinley Park 

Convention Center for Lady 

– A Women’s Expo. 

The event — now in its 

fourth year — featured 79 

vendors specializing in everything 

from fitness to aromatherapy 

to travel tips. 

“We want to provide an 

easy girls day out,” said 

Heather Warthen, chief 

events officer at 22nd Century 

Media. “Women can get 

up early and come out and 

have some fun. We’ve got 

some great shopping opportunities, 

some health screenings. 

It’s fun and free.” 

Local women seemed eager 

for the start of the expo, 

as hundreds lined up throughout 

the halls of the convention 

center before the doors 

opened at 9 a.m. sharp. Park 

Forest resident Carol Clark 

said she thought it sounded 

like an interesting event — 

and a good time — so she 

recruited her friend Betty 

Rodgers, of Homewood, to 

join her. 

“I hope I see something to 

purchase and maybe I would 

like to participate in some of 

the on-site classes that they’re 

having,” Rodgers said. 

One such event featured 

“The Biggest Loser” winner 

Danni Allen leading a 

20-minute exercise class 

with experts from Planet 

Fitness, who were on hand 

throughout the expo to offer 

exercise tips and techniques 

to attendees. Natural Healing 

Centers also led sessions 

on natural and holistic solutions 

to encourage healing 

on all levels. 

Science-based workouts 

are at the heart of Orangetheory 

Fitness, which was on 

hand at the expo. Katie Krop, 

assistant manager of the 

Frankfort location, explained 

that each one-hour total body 

workout combines endurance 

and strength training to target 

five different heart rate zones. 

“The goal is to spend at 

least 12 or more minutes in 

our orange zone,” she said, 

adding that people who 

spend 12 minutes at that target 

heart rate may continue 

Please see lady, 18

Lincoln-Way student designs Fall Fest poster 

Submitted by Lincoln-Way Community High 


On April 21, sophomore McKenzie Dickerson 

was named as the winning artist for 

the 2017 Frankfort Fall Fest Poster Contest. 

Frankfort Chamber of Commerce President 

Steve Hogan and Fall Fest Chair Lisa Ricchio 

arrived at Lincoln-Way West to surprise 

Dickerson among her peers during her seventh 

hour art class. 

For the contest, students were tasked to 

create an original artwork reflecting this 

year’s theme: “Frankfort & Co. A business 

community that is Elegant. Unique. Classic.” 

“We are very proud of McKenzie winning 

the Frankfort Fall Fest Poster Contest,” 

said Lincoln-Way art department 

chair, Phil Labriola, in a statement. “She 

is a hardworking and talented student, and 

is very deserving of the recognition. McKenzie 

did a great job of creating a poster 

design that captures this year’s theme of 

classic elegance within the business community 

of Frankfort.” 

Dickerson used Adobe Photoshop to create 

the poster, which depicts two people dancing 

beside the Frankfort Grainery building. 

Dickerson said she was taken aback when 

the chamber took notice of her design and 

asked for slight tweaks. 

“I was surprised,” she said in a statement. 

“I thought, ‘Wait, this has a shot?’ I’m still 

shocked.” 

Dickerson’s design depicts two people 

dancing beside the Frankfort Grainery 

building. 

Dickerson’s art will be used in Frankfort 

Fall Festival advertising and merchandising, 

including the cover of the 2017 Frankfort 

Fall Festival Guide and the Frankfort Fall 

Festival website. The Frankfort Fall Fest 

takes place in September.

FROM THE ORLAND PARK PRAIRIE 

Bridge Teen Center takes part in 

Global Youth Service Day 

Priscilla Steinmetz stood before 

the more than 100 youths gathered 

in the main room at The Bridge 

Teen Center in Orland Park and put 

out a call for volunteers who have 

specific skills sets. 

She needed clean freaks for one 

set of tasks, good communicators 

with long arms to comprise the 

“ladder crew,” and agile youths 

who are “controlled and very aware 

of their surroundings” to function 

as “runners” who would buzz between 

various work stations. And 

she wanted leaders to help keep everything 

organized and running at 

the optimum level. 

The youths did, after all, have 

some 200 garbage bags containing 

thousands of pounds of clothes 

through which to sort in only three 

hours. 

With each request by Steinmetz, 

small groups of teens weaved their 

way through the mass of bodies 

and joined their peers with similar 

abilities. Twenty minutes later, 

The Bridge was a bustling hive, in 

which the youths made their way 

through the garments and linens 

that will be sold at the nonprofit 

organization’s adjacent thrift store. 

The teens were at The Bridge 

the morning of April 22 for Global 

Youth Service Day, which Bridge 

program associate Amanda Speakman 

defined as “the longest-running, 

largest youth-led service event

more than 100 countries were, during 

the weekend of April 21-23, 

reportedly engaged in community 

service projects, service learning 

and youth voice activities, all with 

the purpose of giving back to their 

respective communities. 

The proceeds from the eventual 

sales of the clothes the youths sorted 

will go toward funding The Bridge’s 

350 free recreational, educational 

and job readiness programs.

Martino, Liberty take part in mock 

meeting for Student Government 

Day 

Students from Martino and Liberty 

junior high schools assumed 

the roles of New Lenox officials 

and Village staff April 24, as they 

participated in a mock board meeting. 

It was all part of a three-part exercise 

coordinated between New 

Lenox School District 122 and the 

Village of New Lenox. 

“It’s something we’ve done for 

a long time within the community, 

and it just gives the students 

a chance to see how local government 

works and really understand 

the process in local government,” 

said Bonnie Groen, principal of 

Martino. “They do a nice job of 

representing the district, and their

demos throughout the morning. 

The spring fashion show — presented 

by Jenny Applegate of The 

Leading Image, Diva Me Bella and 

Orland Park Crossing — offered 

women a chance to see the latest 

fashion, hair and makeup trends, 

modeled by members of the south 

suburban community. It is this type 

of unique neighborhood connection 

that makes Lady – A Women’s 

Expo a truly special event for many. 

“We’re the local community 

newspaper, and everybody knows 

who we are,” Warthen said. “So, 

it’s a fun opportunity for us to put 

faces with names.” 

Publisher 22nd Century Media 

parents enjoy seeing them stepping 

up to being young adults.” 

While the actions taken by the 

board were fake, the discussions 

were not. Students discussed 

the idea of hosting a community 

clean-up day, the need to install a 

new ice rink and a recent request 

received by the Village to host a 

concert for teens. 

“It’s important that all of our 

kids [have a good grasp of how 

local government works],” Mayor 

Tim Baldermann said. “For the 

future of our schools, for the future 

of our communities, for the 

future of our state and our country, 

we need smart, young people 

to be engaged and involved, and 

it starts at the local level. Let’s

streets plowed; this is where your 

kids get educated; this is where 

they recreate in the park district.”

FROM THE MOKENA MESSENGER 

Children’s rock bands begin 

summer season at Jenny’s 

Southside Tap in Mokena 

Mokena rock fans were treated 

to live performances by two talented 

young bands April 23. 

Organized Chaos and Mentally 

Purple performed at the All About 

Music & Children’s Theatre’s 

Rock Band Showcase at Jenny’s 

Southside Tap in Mokena. 

The concert served as a preview 

for the groups’ busy summer season, 

during which they are to perform 

at events, fairs and festivals 

across the south suburbs. 

“There’s so many great shows 

this summer,” rock band instructor 

Todd Beebe said. “I just can’t wait 

to get them in front of a big crowd. 

It’s going to be great.” 

His wife and AACMT creative 

director Connie Johnson-Beebe 

echoed his excitement, noting that 

the groups’ Proud American Days 

debut July 29 is especially noteworthy. 

“This is our first year, and we’re 

really excited to be playing at 

Proud American Days in New 

Lenox,” she said. 

With a setlist featuring songs 

like The Beatles’ “Love Me Do” 

and Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Pride 

and Joy,” the music came well before 

any of the young musicians 

were born. Still, classic rock continues 

to resonate with the next 

generation of superstars. Mentally 

Purple guitarist Genevieve 

Schramm said some of her favorite 

artists are classic rockers. 

“I really like Tom Petty and Nirvana, 

because ... I really like the 

style of music,” Schramm said, 

noting she is scheduled to see 

Tom Petty in concert this summer. 

“And it’s cool to know those 

people, because their music is fun 

to play and cool.”

and making sense of it 

Kirsten Onsgard 

kirsten@frankfortstation.com 

It feels senseless. 

A truck speeds across 

four lanes, over an 

embankment, into two cars 

and through two storefronts. 

Shocked, a store owner 

calls 9-1-1. The driver is 

unresponsive. And when 

the fire department arrives, 

the young man is revived 

and hospitalized, later to be 

jailed. 

That’s what happened 

about two weeks ago in 

Frankfort Square in the 

7200 block of West Benton 

Drive near Harlem Avenue. 

It was morning, and Shearin 

Jurus had just opened her 

tanning salon for the day. 

Other business owners were 

just arriving. Customers 

were coming and going. 

But in a flash, her truck 

was totalled and her shop’s 

windows smashed. 

At first, it’s an incident 

that sounds like a freak accident. 

But the driver’s story 

plays into a larger tragedy 

in Will County: the 21-yearold 

was allegedly under the 

influence of heroin. Frankfort 

Fire Protection District 

administered Narcan, a 

powerful treatment. 

If it was required to save 

his life, the young man is 

lucky, relatively speaking. 

Last year, 96 people in Will 

County died from overdoses 

related to heroin, fentanyl 

and opiates. 

As Jurus and I spoke 

last week, we struggled to 

make sense of the incident. 

An alleged drug overdose 

impacted her life in a way 

she never expected, leaving 

her to clean up the pieces 

and shut down her salon for 

several days. 

She recalled several coincidences: 

she never parks 

her large truck in that spot, 

but it ended up slowing the 

trajectory of the truck. And 

somehow, no one was hurt. 

The good, the bad — it 

felt random. 

This was the first time 

Jurus was affected by the 

epidemic. Perhaps it’s 

because of my age, but it’s 

touched me a little closer. 

I don’t know friends who 

have died, but friends of 

friends. My boyfriend has 

acquaintances who were 

killed. Facebook memorials 

I read often lament the suddenness 

of the tragedy. 

But it’s not sudden, senseless 

or random — this problem 

has been going on for a 

long time. And the epidemic 

has become exponentially 

more deadly. 

What’s hopeful is Will 

County has officials that see 

this as it is: a mental health 

crisis complicated and fed 

by criminal activity. They 

understand that locking 

up users for a short time 

doesn’t cure addition, and 

that silence only fuels it. 

These viewpoints evident at 

last month’s annual Hero- 

Helps summit. 

As citizens — and as 

good humans — it’s imperative 

we are not complicit. If 

you, a family member or a 

friend has a substance abuse 

or mental health problem, 

there are free resources.

Summit Hill to present ‘Review of Revues’ 

Submitted by Summit Hill 


Performers in last year’s musical revue pose for a photo. 

This year’s Review of the Revues will take place 7 p.m. May 

5 and 6. Photo submitted 

The Summit Hill Junior 

High School music department 

will be presenting its 

10th annual Musical Revue 

on Friday and Saturday, May 

5 and 6. In honor of this being 

the 10th year for the 

event, the show will feature a 

“Review of the Revues” with 

highlights from each of the 

nine previous years’ shows. 

The Musical Revue involves 

seventh- and eighthgraders 

who are involved 

in the music department, 

whether in band, choir and/ 

or strings. Students perform 

on stage, in the pit band, as 

emcees and as members of 

the stage, light and sound 

crews. Students are also instrumental 

in planning choreography 

and with adding 

their personal touches to the 

revue. The cast is divided 

into three groups for rehearsals, 

each with specific 

parts of the show to cover. 

There are also three parts 

of the show where the entire 

cast will join together, 

such as in the opening and 

closing reviews of 2008 and 

2016. Each of these three 

groups meets once a week 

for four weeks before coming 

together for tech week 

the first week of May. This is 

also when the pit band (comprised 

entirely of junior high 

band members) will first 

play the music live for the 

cast to rehearse to. The band 

had made recordings of the 

pieces earlier in March that 

the casts use to rehearse with 

prior to tech week. 

The two performances, on 

May 5 and 6, will begin at 

7:00 p.m. and be held in the 

cafetorium at Summit Hill Junior 

High. There is no admission 

charge. In honor of this 

being the 10th revue, a slide 

show will loop for the audience 

to watch while awaiting 

the start of the show.- This 

slide show will feature photos 

of cast members from each of 

the nine previous revues.

Students learn skills, grow with plant sale 

Amanda Stoll, Assistant Editor 

Again this year, students 

in the Lincoln-Way Transition 

Program have been 

hard at work growing a variety 

of flowers, herbs, spices, 

vegetables and potted 

plants in the greenhouse at 

Lincoln-Way Central High 

School. 

The transition program 

helps students with special 

needs to gain life and job 

skills after high school graduation. 

Their annual plant 

sales include the poinsettia 

sale that is held annually 

before Christmas, and the 

spring plant sale, which is 

coming up this weekend and 

next weekend. 

An array of garden- and 

planter-worthy perennials 

are overflowing in doublestacked 

trays in the greenhouse 

awaiting the sale, all 

of which have been grown 

by the students with little 

more than supervision from 

their instructor. 

“I just monitor to make 

sure everything is okay, 

but they really know the 

process,” special services 

teacher Josh Kreske said. 

“They’ve done a nice job 

picking up how it’s supposed 

to be done.” 

He said the students started 

working in the greenhouse 

in February. At that 

time, they began planting, 

fertilizing and monitoring 

for disease and bugs. 

“If they’ve done it in the 

past, they have an idea of 

Breanna Ceci demonstrates how to carefully remove a dead leaf without damaging the 

plant at Lincoln-Way Central High School on Thursday, April 27. All of the plants in the

Program since February, and they are available for sale Saturday, May 6 and 13, from 9 

a.m.-noon. Photos by Amanda Stoll/22nd Century Media 

how it goes about, but we 

have a lot of new students 

this year,” Kreske said. “But, 

after the first couple times 

they came in, they were able 

to set up their work area by 

themselves, and they work 

really independently.” 

The project — which is 

one of many the students 

do throughout the year — is 

not designed to steer the students 

toward horticulture or 

agriculture jobs, but rather to 

give them transferable skills 

they can use at any job. 

“It just teaches them 

work skills,”Kreske said. “It 

teaches them how to follow 

multi-step directions, work

get things done in a certain 

amount of time [and] meet 

certain requirements that 

it has to look a certain way 

before it can be a finished 

product.” 

Breanna Ceci is one of the 

students who has been working 

in the greenhouse this 

semester, and she is quick 

to recognize dead or dying 

leaves on the plants. 

She said it is important to 

remove them carefully so 

as not to damage the plant 

and demonstrated the proper 

way to “pinch” the leaves to 

remove them. 

Petunias, begonias, zinnias, 

marigolds, impatiens, 

celosia and alyssum, as well 

as salvia — which is new to 

the sale this year — will be 

sold for $2 per six pack or 

$12 per flat; Geraniums will 

be sold for $3 per six pack or 

$18 per flat. 

Potted plants, including 

A variety of flowers, vegetables, herbs, spices and potted 

plants have been grown by students in the Lincoln-Way 

Transition Program. Proceeds from the sale support the 

program.

plants for the spring flower and vegetable sale. 

coleus, vegetables, spices 

and herbs, will be sold for 

$2 each, and larger potted 

plants, such as wandering 

Jew, Swedish ivy, spider 

plants and citronella will be 

sold for $5 each. 

The greenhouse is located 

off Schoolhouse Road 

on the East side of the 

school, and proceeds from 

the sale go back to support

Frankfort duo tunes up for bluegrass season 

Laurie Fanelli 


The Orland Park Public 

Library’s lobby was filled 

with music and a crowd 

April 21. 

Residents were eager to 

enjoy acoustic music, compliments 

of Nikki & Steve, 

the Frankfort duo featuring 

Nikki Giblin and Steve Haberichter. 

Although the library may 

seem like an unlikely venue 

to host a concert of any kind, 

Outreach Assistant Shane 

Peterson explained that music 

can regularly be heard at 

a variety of events. 

“We do a monthly musical 

showcase in the lobby, 

which generally tends to be 

smaller groups,” he said. 

“Sometimes, we do additional 

musical events in our 

conference rooms, and the 

summer concert series is 

coming up. That’s four concerts 

out in the library pavilion 

in the summer. We try to 

have musical performances 

anytime we can. 

“It’s nice to be able to 

bring people in, and that the 

music emanates through the 

lobby and up through the 

teen section. We get a lot 

of positive feedback from 

people who enjoy the atmosphere 

that it brings to the 

library.” 

A group of music lovers 

from Peace Village in Palos 

Park had nothing but praise 

for the library’s concert 

events. Rose Krc, who has 

attended two previous concerts 

at the library as well 

as a lecture on the old Chicago 

stockyards, said that 

these performances give her 

a chance to reconnect with a 

variety of genres. 

“I really like classical the 

best, but I can relate to all of 

this,” she said. 

Her friend Marge Billich 

added, “I like all kinds of 

music — rock and roll, everything.” 

Fellow Peace Village resident 

Donna Ives said she 

was hoping to hear the blues. 

Ives was in luck, as Nikki 

& Steve count the blues as 

one of their favorite genres, 

along with folk, country, 

sultry soul and, most of all, 

bluegrass. Both Giblin and 

Haberichter serve as board 

members for the annual 

Frankfort Bluegrass Festival, 

which is set to take place 

on July 8 and 9 at Breidert 

Green. 

Elements of bluegrass 

were on display throughout 

the performance, as Haberichter’s 

fast fingers made 

easy work out of the most 

complicated of compositions, 

gliding up and down 

the frets of his acoustic 

guitar. Giblin’s expressive 

vocals transfixed the crowd 

on classics like Etta James’ 

“At Last” and contemporary 

tunes, including The Derek 

Trucks Band’s “Back Where 

I Started,” the recording of 

which features singing from 

Truck’s talented wife, Susan 

Tedeschi. 

“This one will bring a tear 

to a glass eye,” Haberichter 

said before the duo dove into 

the classic Leonard Cohen 

heartbreaker “Hallelujah.” 

There is something about 

music that brings people together. 

Much like Tedeschi 

and Trucks, Giblin and Haberichter 

are a couple, as well 

as a performing duo. They 

met as employees at World 

Music Company in Beverly 

more than 10 years ago, and 

the rest is history. 

Giblin and Haberichter 

are gearing up for bluegrass 

season, with a festival fundraiser 

April 29 at Smokey 

Barque BBQ in Frankfort.

The Dish 

Happy Hour taps into hunger, too, with new menu at Bonefish Grill 

Bill Jones, Managing Editor 

Stop into most bars between 

4-6 p.m., and one will 

quickly find that a strange 

thing happens. Two hours 

magically become one Happy 

Hour, where the drinks 

tend to flow freely thanks to 

discounted prices. 

But usually by the end 

of those two hours, guests 

are starting to recall that 

they have not eaten since 

lunchtime, should maybe 

get something in their bellies. 

But dinner is waiting 

at home, so the $30 entrées 

are out of the question. 

And no one can seem 

to agree on which apps 

to order. 

Enter Bonefish Grill’s 

new Hand-Crafted Happy 

Hour menu, which alongside 

four new cocktails offers 

a smattering of food 

choices in smaller portions, 

with the $5 drink 

specials complemented by 

$6 dining options that hark 

back to Bonefish’s former 

Bar Bites offerings, but 

with a new collection of 

flavors. 

“We’ve had the drinks 

side for quite some time, 

but we finally brought back 

the small plate platform,” 

managing partner Nicholas 

Kapellas said. “Guests were 

asking for it, really. Maybe 

they don’t want to have a 

full meal but just want to 

sit down and try a few new 

plates.” 

The crispy calamari and 

mussels Josephine already 

were on the appetizer menu, 

though in bigger portions, 

but everything else is new. 

When asked about favorites, 

Kapellas said the ahi 

tuna poke is a must-try because 

of its fresh avocado 

purée, the wonton crisps 

and, of course, the fresh 

tuna. 

Bonefish Grill’s new Happy Hour menu includes (left to right, top) wagyu beef sliders, crispy au gratin bites, the tropical tiki martini, crispy cod sliders, 

(bottom) ahi tuna poke, a fresh margarita, calamari and a raspberry vodka Collins. Photos by Bill Jones/22nd Century Media, Illustration by Nancy 

Burgan/22nd Century Media 

“You can’t get sushigrade 

tuna in Orland in too 

many places,” Kapellas said 

of the appeal. 

But his go-to has become 

the crispy au gratin 

bites — or as the kids are 

calling them, nowadays, 

“grat tots.” The blend of 

potatoes au gratin, cheese, 

bacon and green onion is 

served alongside two sauces: 

a smoky ranch and sour 

cream. 

“They have such great 

flavor,” he opined. 

But tastes, of course, 

vary. And overhearing our 

conversation, bartender Angela 

DeMarco slyly pointed 

toward the crispy cod sliders, 

which she said she 

likes even more than the 

special menu’s wagyu beef 

sliders. 

“This has the Bang Bang 

shrimp sauce on it,” she 

said. “They’re so popular. 

They’re not heavy; they’re 

not burgers.” 

The following is a breakdown 

of all of the offerings 

on Bonefish Grill’s new 

Hand-Crafted Happy Hour 

menu. The selections and 

the special price points are 

only available during the 

hours of 4-6 p.m., for dinein 

only, but Bonefish offers 

the menu seven days a 

week. 

And the Orland Park restaurant’s 

40-seat patio is 

open for the season. 

The Drinks ($5) 

• Blueberry Lemon Drop: 

Absolut Citron, blueberry 

purée, fresh sour mix, sugar 

rim (pictured with Life & 

Arts cover teaser) 

• Tropical Tiki Martini: 

Pineapple and Absolut 

infusion; Captain Morgan; 

flavors of mango and 

pomegranate; and a hint 

of lime 

• Raspberry Vodka Collins: 

Tito’s Handmade Vodka, 

fresh raspberries, fresh 

sour mix, topped with soda 

water 

• Fresh Margarita: Olmeca 

Altos Tequila, Cointreau, 

fresh lime simple syrup 

• Select spirits singleliquor 

mixed drinks (Tito’s, 

Bombay, Bacardi, Dewar’s, 

Maker’s Mark and Jack 

Daniel’s) are $5 during the 

Happy Hour. House wines 

are $4. And draft beers are 

$1 off, including Metal 

Monkey, a Romeovillebased 

local brew that has 

been on rotating tap for the 

past six months.

Build and Move into Your New Home from the low $200s 

With Lincoln-Way Schools at Prairie Trails in Manhattan 

Distinctive Home Builders provides homeowners the 

highest quality home on the market 

Distinctive Home Builders 

continues to add high quality 

homes to the Manhattan 

landscape at Prairie Trails; its 

latest new home community, 

located within the highly-regarded 

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. “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 

Recently closed Prairie Trails Arbor Model 

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 

four-bedroom homes feature 

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, according 

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 

Recently closed Prairie Trails Arbor Model 

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 

stringent Energy Efficiency 

guidelines. 

Typically a wide variety of 

homes are available to tour 

that include ranch and twostory 

homes. 

Distinctive is also offering 

a brand new home, the 

Stonegrove, a 3,000 square 

foot open concept home with a 

split foyer entry, formal living 

and dining rooms, a two-story 

great room, four bedrooms 

and an upstairs laundry room. 

Distinctive also offers Appbased 

technology allowing its 

homeowners to be updated 

on the progress of their new 

home 24 hours a day, seven 

days a week at the touch of a 

button. 

Prairie Trails is also a beautiful 

place to live featuring a 

20-acre lake on site, as well 

as direct access to the 22-mile 

Wauponsee Glacial Prairie 

Path that borders the community 

and meanders through 

many neighboring communities 

and links to many other 

popular trails. The Manhattan 

Metra station is also nearby. 

Besides Prairie Trails, Distinctive 

Home Builders has 

built hundreds of homes 

throughout Manhattan in the 

Butternut Ridge and Leighlinbridge 

developments, as well 

as thousands in the Will and 

south Cook county areas over 

the past 30 years.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Emily Scianna 

Emily Scianna is a senior 

forward on the Lincoln-Way 

East girls soccer team. 

You have been on 

varsity since freshman 

year. What is it like as 

a senior this year? 

It’s cool to see the juniors 

and sophomores play also, 

because I was one of them. 

I love being a leader on the 

team, and being the oldest is 

kind of cool at school, too. 

What has that 

leadership looked like? 

On the field , it’s a big 

role because I have to be in 

charge of all the forwards, 

because I’m the only senior 

forward. Off the field, we 

have a group message and 

the seniors like to take control 

of everything. It’s really 

nice to be a part of that. 

How has it been 

working with Coach 

Murphy this year? 

It’s been really great. I 

had Coach Papa freshman, 

sophomore and junior year. 

Me and him were very close, 

but Coach Murphy is great. 

I love the new dynamic, and 

it’s cool to see two different 

coaches in high school — 

not many people get to do 

that. 

You’ve been scoring 

more this year. What 

has caused that shift? 

I think it’s all my mentality. 

I’ve gotten a lot of confidence 

this year. Being a senior, 

it’s cool being a leader 

and begin in control. 

I’ve really been trying my 

hardest being aggressive, 

and I’ve gotten rewarded 

from that. 

What have you learned 

over the years? 

I’ve learned to always stay 

humble — that’s a big thing. 

Confidence, not cockiness. 

Especially against all the 

other good teams: the other 

Lincoln-Ways, Lockport and 

all them. Confidence definitely 

is key. 

What has been the 

toughest moment so far 

this season? 

I think the Lyons game 

was pretty tough. We were 

tied 0-0 until about more 

than halfway through the 

second half. It was hard as 

a whole team to not let up 

a goal, or to not let up anything. 

That was the toughest 

for all of us. 

What are your goals 

going forward? 

I plan on playing club at 

my university, San Diego 

State University. I definitely 

want to coach when I’m 

older. I love the game, and 

I don’t want to stop playing. 

What are your plans for 

San Diego State? 

I’m not going to play for 

the university, just club and 

intramurals. 

I have family out there, 

and I just absolutely love it 

— the weather, the people 

Julie McMann/22nd Century 

Media 

— it’s just a different place. 

I love being able to go there. 

I’m undecided. I might 

go into education or athletic 

training. 

If you won the lottery, 

what would you spend 

your money on? 

My aunt has lung cancer, 

and she has this foundation 

called LUNGevity Foundation. 

I would probably donate 

all of it, to be honest, 

because she’s a great role 

model for me, and I want 

everything for her to be 

OK. It’s hard seeing her go 

through all this. 

What are you looking 

forward to this year? 

Definitely prom, social. 

I’m excited for playoffs. I 

think we’ll go far this season. 

I’m just really excited 

for the end of my senior year.

Athlete of the Month 

Providence Catholic hockey player 

wins hotly contested April title 

Bill Jones, Managing Editor 

It is rare that 22nd Century 

Media Southwest Chicago’s 

Athlete of the Month competition 

ends in a tie. Potentially 

unprecedented, though, is 

the contest ending in a threeway 

stalemate at the end of 

regulation. 

But as everyone outside 

of soccer — and, on rare occasion, 

American football 

— knows, ending in ties is 

no fun. So this past month’s 

Athlete of the Month competition 

got sent to the rare staff 

overtime tiebreaker vote. 

The choices came down to 

Lockport Township baseball 

player Kevin Davis, Providence 

Catholic hockey player 

Kevin Horan and Lincoln- 

Way East boys water polo 

competitor Ryan Murphy. 

When the dust settled, Horan 

earned the win yet again. 

The senior has played on 

the varsity hockey team for 

the past two years, in which 

the Celtics won back-toback 

Kennedy Cups. He 

also took the trip once again 

track 

From Page 51 

said. “We’ve been pushing 

them hard in practice lately, 

including (Monday). They’re 

tired. They’re grumpy. But 

they still came out today to 

compete.” 

With the postseason approaching, 

the focus for East 

will begin to switch in practices. 

The SWSC outdoor 

championships take place on 

Thursday, May 11, at Sandburg, 

and sectional is May 18. 

“It’ll start to get easier,” Widinski

Boys track and field 

Griffins eye postseason during tri-meet 

Frank Gogola 


Lincoln-Way East sophomore 

Quinton Stringfellow 

knew his long jump was not 

his best with approach and 

footing. But on a day with 

only two other teams competing 

and multiple competitors 

sitting out, his distance 

was good enough to take first 

place in the event. 

Stringfellow’s win was 

one of several individual 

event victories for East on 

Tuesday, April 25, at Bradley-Bourbonnais. 

No official 

team scores were kept in the 

SouthWest Suburban Conference 

tri-meet between East, 

Bradley-Bourbonnais and 

Thornwood. 

“What this is, is a glorified 

practice,” East coach Ross 

Widinski said. “We didn’t 

bring a whole team. Other 

teams aren’t starting all their 

regular guys. There’s no pole 

vault. 

“Not being an invite, this 

was a chance for some of the 

younger guys to get a chance 

to show what they could do. 

They were really competing 

to show their ability.” 

Stringfellow jumped 19 

feet, 6 ½ inches in his lone 

attempt. The jump was more 

than 2 feet shorter than his 

season best of 21 feet, 7 inches, 

but it was good enough to 

win the event. 

“I jumped off the wrong 

foot, too,” he said. 

Stringfellow and teammate 

Randy Johnson tied for 

first place in the triple jump 

(40 feet, 2 ½ inches). Senior 

Cole Paraday won the discus 

throw. Paraday scratched on 

all three of his shot put attempts 

but had the distance to 

win had he not scratched. 

On the track, senior Nick 

Miranda took first place in the 

400-meter dash. Freshman AJ 

Henning won the 100-meter 

dash. Sophomore Michael 

Honchar crossed the line first 

in the 110-meter hurdles. 

The 800-meter relay team 

finished second behind 

Thornwood. The Griffins 

took the lead after Thornwood 

was slow with the 

handoff between the second 

and third runners, but Thornwood 

came back to win. 

Several of East’s top distance 

guys got the day off 

to rest. Some who ran in the 

800-meter run and 1,600-meter 

run were switched up, 

“Right now, they’re running 

on tired legs,” Widinski

Baseball 

Griffins play to strengths, step up in win 

Frank Gogola 


Lincoln-Way East senior 

Joe Prestamer knows he 

does not have the quickest 

fastball, so he has to trust 

in his off-speed pitches this 

season. 

He looked to those offspeed 

pitches again to help 

East escape a late-game, 

bases-loaded jam and end 

Sandburg’s best chance of 

staging a comeback in a recent 

conference victory. 

“I’m not really going to 

blow fastballs by guys too 

much, so I rely on keeping 

guys off balance,” Prestamer 

said. “My off-speed 

pitches were getting mainly 

pop ups, getting guys to 

roll over and out ahead, so 

just attack the zone like any 

other batter and trust my 

field to step on a base if we 

have to.” 

Prestamer gave up one run 

in six innings and his offense 

took advantage of walks 

as East beat Sandburg, 3-1, 

for the second time in three 

days to sweep the defending 

SouthWest Suburban Blue 

champs on Thursday, April 

27, in Orland Park. 

Leading 3-1 with two outs 

in the fifth, Prestamer used 

his curveball to get Ryan 

Hampe to pop out in front 

of home plate with the bases 

loaded. After bouncing two 

off-speed pitches to turn an 

0-2 count into a 2-2 count, he 

put a curveball over the plate 

and got Hampe to swing underneath 

the ball. 

Prestamer had loaded the 

bases with a two-out walk 

and hit by pitch, but East 

coach Paul Babcock had 

trust in him to get the final 

out. 

“No thought of taking him 

out in that situation,” Babcock 

said. “Joe’s the man. 

He’s who I’m going to have 

East’s Jake Arthur takes a hard swing during the 3-1 win. 

out there in that spot. No 

doubt in my mind.” 

The Eagles managed just 

one run during the 14 innings 

against East. In the 

second game, they had four 

hits, three walks and one hit 

by pitch, but they left seven 

runners on base. 

The Griffins got enough 

offense without catcher and 

cleanup hitter Jimmy Quinn, 

who was out sick, who homered 

in the first meeting. 

They had six walks and five 

hits – only one extra-base hit 

– and all three of their runs 

were walks that came around 

to score against pitcher Evan 

Tenuta. 

“We’re not getting it done 

offensively,” Sandburg 

coach Jim Morsovillo said. 

“We swung better today, 

hit the ball harder, but everything 

we hit was right at 

them. We got some hits, got 

some guys on but didn’t get 

the big hit. And we walked 

guys who came around to 

score. You can’t do that and 

win baseball games.” 

Sandburg (10-4, 2-2) 

dropped its second game in 

three days after only losing 

twice in its first 12 games. 

It lost 8-0 on April 25 in 

Frankfort against pitcher 

Danny Zimmerman. 

“Last game, [Zimmerman] 

really filled it up and 

competed,” Morsovillo said. 

“This game, [Prestamer] 

made more mistakes over 

the middle of the plate, but 

we didn’t make him pay.” 

The wins over Sandburg 

added to the Griffins’ (8- 

10, 3-1) resurgence. They 

have gone 7-2 after starting 

1-8. 

“I’m not trying to sound 

cocky, but with these guys 

the past two games, that’s 

what I expect,” Babcock 

said. “I did not expect how 

we started the season. When 

these guys play the way they 

can, good things can happen.” 

East struck first when 

Brett Melby drove in Zimmerman 

with a two-out RBI 

single in the top of the first. 

Mike Wallace drew a bases-loaded 

walk in the second, 

pushing pinch runner 

Jacob Slager across the plate 

to put East up 2-1. It was the 

third walk of the inning surrendered 

by Tenuta.

double to the right-center

field gap in the fifth to make 

East’s lead 3-1. 

Hampe drove in Sandburg’s 

lone run on a onehopper 

off the left-center 

field wall. His hit scored 

Seth Masters and tied the 

game 1-1 in the bottom of 

the first. 

Nick Tortorici earned the 

save with a 1-2-3 seventh inning. 

Tenuta took the loss, surrendering 

three runs on three hits 

and six walks in five innings.

From Page 54 

said. “There’s more to life 

than soccer so it’s great to 

play for something bigger 

than the game.” 

Theiss heaped praise on 

Galassini and McInturff. 

“Galassini is good,” he 

said. “We tried to double 

her, but good players make 

plays. Sometimes you have 

to tip your hat. You have to 

give credit to [McInturff], 

too. She’s whipping great 

balls in. Those three set 

pieces made all the difference.” 

Despite falling behind 

3-0, the Warriors kept battling. 

Madison Mikalauski 

broke the shutout with 8:04 

to go when she put in a rebound 

after Kate Honan 

fired a free kick off the 

crossbar. 

“I’m proud of the girls for 

fighting,” Mikalauski said. 

“We could’ve played better, 

but at least we didn’t give 

up. 

“It was really fun to be 

able to participate in this 

event, too. The community 

has done a lot for us and it’s 

nice to be able to give back. 

This game helps us think of 

those we know who were 

affected by cancer and it 

makes us grateful for everything 

we have.” 

West nearly made it 3-2 

with under two minutes 

left, but East goalkeeper 

Kim Seper robbed Mikalauski 

with a leaping 

save. 

Erin Toomey had two 

saves for the Warriors. 

“The girls never quit,” 

Theiss said. “They got a 

goal back and they had a 

great opportunity to score 

again in the final minute and 

a half. 

“These girls are going to 

continue to fight. They’re 

improving every day. If they 

keep that up, who knows 

what can happen the rest of 

the way in conference and 

into the postseason.”

Lincoln-Way East coach 

Mike Murphy was thrilled 

with his team’s 3-1 win 

Tuesday night over Lincoln-Way 

West. 

The night, though, was 

about more than soccer. 

The rivals came together 

for the annual Kick For a 

Cure breast cancer awareness 

game, raising money 

for cancer research. 

“I love this game because 

it teaches the girls and everyone 

else that when we’re 

on the field we’re competing, 

but off the field we’re 

competing for a common 

cause,” Murphy said. “The 

parents at both schools put 

in a lot of effort. West did 

a great job hosting. To give 

back to the community is 

outstanding.” 

The teams wore special 

T-shirts and helped 

organize gift baskets that 

were auctioned off. Proceeds 

were donated to Silver 

Cross Hospital Cancer 

Center. 

“We’ve now raised over 

$30,000 since we started the 

event in 2009,” West coach 

Jeff Theiss said. “This continues 

to grow every year. 

It’s always a special experience 

to see the community 

come together for a bigger 

cause.” 

On the field, East’s 

star midfielder Bianca 

Galassini proved to be unstoppable. 

The South Carolina recruit 

had a hat trick, scoring 

all three goals on headers, 

as the visiting Griffins prevailed 

in a SouthWest Suburban 

Red game. 

It was the conference 

opener for East (10-3-1, 

1-0) and a key victory over 

the Warriors (9-6-1, 1-1), 

who had established themselves 

as a major contender

in the league with its win 

over Andrew. 

“We knew West was going 

to be a tough opponent,” 

Galassini said. “This was 

a big result to improve our 

spot in conference and with 

our sectional seeding.” 

Galassini got the Griffins 

on the board in the 

30th minute, heading in a 

long throw-in from Anna 

Power. 

It was the start of a strong 

performance from Power. 

“Anna did a great job 

winning headers,” Murphy 

said. “She played some 

dangerous balls outside and 

she was dangerous on the 

throws. I was really happy 

with how she played.” 

After playing nearly the 

entire first half on the offensive 

side of the field with 

strong winds at its back, 

East led 1-0 and faced the 

challenge of having the 

wind against it in the second 

half. 

The Griffins, though, negated 

that disadvantage by 

scoring two goals off corner 

kicks early in the half. 

Galassini headed in 

Kelsey McInturff’s corner 

kick with 38:35 left in the 

match, then did it again with 

28:29 to go. 

“I love taking corner 

kicks,” McInturff said. “I 

know as long as I do what I 

need to do, Bianca is going 

to finish it.” 

McInturff was especially 

motivated by the Kick For a 

Cure event. 

Players who have had 

family members or friends 

affected by cancer were 

recognized before the game 

and wore patches on their 

uniform in honor of their 

“angels” — those who 

died from cancer —“warriors” 

—those still battling 

the disease — and 

survivors. 

“I had two angels and two 

survivors to honor,” McInturff 

said. “Having a lot of 

family behind me and a lot 

of people to play for meant 

a lot to me. The names on 

those wings were with me 

during the game.” 

Galassini, who honored 

her aunt Idelma, a cancer 

survivor, was also grateful 

for the chance to play for a 

cause. 

“It’s really awesome to 

play for a good cause,” she

RANDY WHALEN 


In an old-fashioned pitchers’ 

duel, Alex Storako came 

up big in the circle and at the 

plate. 

The Lincoln-Way East junior 

fired a two-hitter from 

the mound and belted what 

proved to be the winning 

home run as the Griffins rallied 

for a 3-2 victory over 

a tough Bolingbrook team 

in a first place SouthWest 

Suburban Conference Blue 

Division battle on Thursday, 

April 27, in Bolingbrook. 

With the win, East (14-2, 

4-0) claimed the top spot in 

the SWSC Blue by itself. 

Bolingbrook (8-7, 3-1), 

which had defeated visiting 

Lockport Township 9-1 on 

April 18, stood toe-to-toe 

with the Griffins before a 

3-run fifth proved to be the 

difference. 

“This was a huge game,” 

East senior left fielder Sidney 

Bloomfield said. “We 

went 4-0 this [past] week 

and are playing well.” 

With East trailing 2-0, 

Bloomfield came up big in 

the fifth. With one out, the 

number nine hitter, sophomore 

second baseman Lindsay 

LaDere, put down a 

bunt. Raider senior pitcher 

Lorrin Pondo picked it up, 

but her hurried throw was 

low and skipped past first 

base as LeDere reached on 

Bolingbrook’s only error of 

the game. 

Pondo (0 ERA, 7 H, 8 K, 2 

BB) came back with a strikeout, 

but up stepped Bloomfield 

(2-for-4, R, RBI). She 

bashed the first pitch she saw 

off the right-hander to the 

right center field gap for an 

RBI triple that cut the Griffin 

deficit in half. 

“I was just looking for 

something to drive,” Bloomfield 

said. “I was just looking 

for something to get the 

team going and give us some 

energy. I wanted to get our 

bench going.” 

The Griffins bench — 

which had been loud early 

on during the cold, gray day, 

but had grown more quiet 

when they were seven outs 

away from defeat — was 

then alive with cheers again. 

Moments later, they were 

pouring out to home plate. 

That’s because they came 

out to congratulate Storako 

following her slam. 

“It was big,” said Storako, 

who had a big smile on her 

face after rounding third 

with her second homer of the 

season. “I just saw the pitch 

and reacted to it. I just wanted 

to get a hit for the team.” 

Storako (1-for-3, BB, 2 

RBI) had fallen behind in 

the count 0-2, but worked it 

to 2-2. The fifth offering was 

high and inside, and the lefthanded 

batter bashed it well 

over the fence in right center. 

“No, I really didn’t know 

[that it was a home run] right 

away,” Storako said. “But it 

felt good off the bat. After 

that, it was very easy to relax 

[in the circle] and I knew the 

“I was just looking for something 

to get the team going and give us 

some energy. I wanted to get our 

bench going.” 

Sidney Bloomfield — East senior left fielder on 

landing a big RBI hit 

defense was behind me.” 

They were, but Storako 

didn’t give them many opportunities 

as she struck out 

13, walked none, hit a batter, 

and allowed two hits while 

retiring the final 13 batters. 

The right-hander was especially 

tough after hitting her 

home run, getting the final 

nine outs on seven strikeouts 

and two ground balls back 

to herself. In fact, she struck 

out the side — the heart of 

the Bolingbrook lineup — 

on nine pitches in the bottom 

of the seventh. 

Storako settled in, but 

started shaky, hitting center 

fielder Katrina Yep with on 

her first pitch of the game. 

One out later, Pondo lined a 

single to right and both runners 

moved up to second and 

third on a wild pitch. With 

two outs, Storako uncorked 

another wild pitch and Yep 

raced home. When senior 

catcher Riley Lang’s throw 

to Storako covering the plate 

got away, Pondo came home 

too and it was 2-0. 

Junior right fielder Nia 

Fowlkes had the other Raider 

hit, an infield single to 

deep short with one out in 

the second inning. But she 

never moved from there, and 

that was the final Bolingbrook 

base runner. 

East had a golden opportunity 

to put runs on the 

board in the second. Senior 

designated hitter Christine 

Malito (2-for-3) singled to 

right, junior first baseman 

Lauren Hunter walked and 

sophomore third baseman 

Lexi Krause (1-for-3) had a 

bunt single to load the bases. 

But Pondo got a pop-out 

back to herself and a pair of 

strikeouts to end the inning. 

Griffin leadoff hitter Alli 

Jaquith (1-for-4) had the 

team’s other hit: double to 

left center with one out in 

the seventh. 

Winning close conference 

games is something the 

Griffins have done for years. 

They are the two-time defending 

SWSC Blue champions, 

but with many new 

faces on this year’s squad, 

there were question marks 

on how they would mesh. 

“With [Lincoln-Way] 

North closing and a lot of 

different people coming together, 

we’ve jelled really 

well,” Bloomfield said. “Our 

theme this year has been 

‘synergy.’ That’s what we 

have.” 

Storako, who transferred 

in from Bishop McNamara 

after pitching two seasons 

for the Irish, has added to 

that. Did she expect to be in 

these big games when she 

came to East? 

“I came in expecting a 

good, exciting season,” Storako 

said. “That’s what we’ve 

had so far.” 

East opened the week on 

Monday, April 24, by hosting 

Plainfield South and 

coming away with a 7-5 victory. 

Krause (2-for-2) and 

Jaquith (2-for-4) led the offense 

and Storako had eight 

strikeouts in the circle. The 

next day, the Griffins hosted 

Stagg in a SWSC Blue game 

and won 10-0 in five innings. 

Bloomfield (3-for-3) 

and senior center fielder Ami 

Ill (2-for-3, HR, 3 RBI) had 

multi hits while Hunter and 

Krause clubed homers in 

the 13-hit attack. Freshman 

Danielle Drogemuller had 

six strikeouts in four innings 

to register the win. 

Then on Wednesday, April 

26, East traveled to Minooka 

and defeated the host Indians
