The New Lenox Patriot | August 24, 2017 | 3
Community rallies around local with
rare cancer, benefit set for Aug. 26
Jon DePaolis
Freelance Reporter
Bill Koch has always been
there to help others.
Whether it’s donating his
time at the local VFW or
doing his best to help out a
friend or family member,
people who know the New
Lenox resident well say that
Koch goes out of his way for
others.
But now it is Koch who
needs a helping hand after
being diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma,
a rare, softtissue
cancer. Most commonly
found in children,
only a handful of medical
facilities in the country have
the ability to treat this disease
for adults. In Koch’s
case, he has had to travel to
the University of Texas MD
Anderson Cancer Center in
Houston for treatment — including
two surgeries and,
most recently, six weeks of
radiation therapy back in
June.
Koch, who was self-employed
before the diagnosis,
was on private health care
insurance — meaning medical
costs quickly have piled
up.
To help him as he’s helped
others, friends and family of
the Kochs have planned a
fundraiser and set up a donation
website. The event
is scheduled from 2-10 p.m.
Saturday, Aug. 26, at Francis
Field Youth Foundation,
801 E. Francis Road in New
Lenox.
It is free admission, but
donations will be accepted to
help fund Bill Koch’s medical
costs.
Connie Cunningham, a
Sandburg graduate and a
friend of the Koch family,
is leading the charge for the
benefit.
When describing the
Kochs, she said they are the
type of people who do nice
things around the community,
but they never want or
seek out recognition.
One of the areas in which
the Kochs spent a lot of time
volunteering was at the New
Lenox Veterans of Foreign
Wars Post 9545. It was a
cause that was dear to them,
as both Bill and his wife,
Nancy, had family members
who served in the military.
“Bill was even president
of the men’s auxiliary at the
post for a few years,” she
said.
Cunningham also said Bill
is the type of person who is
always “behind the camera,
making sure fond memories
are made.”
“He is humble, kind,
funny, generous and incredibly
dedicated to his family
and friends,” she said. “Bill
is the man who does things
as soon as he sees they need
to be done. He doesn’t wait
around for someone to ask.
His wife, Nancy, is the same
way. This is one of the traits
that drew my husband and
me to them when we met.”
She said Koch’s disease is
uncommon in adults.

motorcycle. Photos submitted by Connie Cunningham
“There are only approximately
20 documented,
adult cases of this cancer in
the United States,” Cunningham
said. “It is a childhood
disease that rarely appears
in adults. The treatment is
harsh, long and very draining.
“And the emotional upheaval
of having to be separated
from one’s family
during such a trying time
is unfathomable to me. The

New Lenox School D122 Board of education
Officials approve tentative fiscal year budget
Megann Horstead
Freelance Reporter
The New Lenox School
District 122 Board of Education
reviewed and took
action Aug. 16 to approve
its fiscal year 2018 tentative
budget.
The budget will be on
public display for 30 days at
the district office for review.
For fiscal year 2018, the
district presented a $780,223
operating surplus, and the
remaining funds are to pay
for building renovations during
the next few summers.
The district ended with a
$2.8 million dollar surplus
last year, and the money left
over is to pay for building
renovations during the next
few summers, as well.
D122 Business Manager
Bob Groos said he is hopeful
the district will get closer
to the original approximate
$1.8 million surplus they
forecasted in June and January.
“Pretty much everything,
Round it up
A brief recap of action and discussion at the Aug. 16 meeting of the New Lenox School District
122 board:
• The board approved the disposal of a
2007 Ford utility van due to the asset no
longer being in good working condition. A
newer vehicle will be purchased.
• Officials agreed to award a one-year
to Quest Food Management to support
its box lunch program. While the district
decided to not award the contract to
Revolution Foods for not securing the
needed other local bids, officials went
on to use the Illinois State Board of
Education Nutrition and Wellness small
purchase process to secure another
offer for the 2017-2018 academic year.
if you compare the five-year
forecast to our tentative budget,
everything is very similar,
very consistent,” Groos
said. “The only reason it’s
about a million dollars less
in terms of our surplus is, as
of right now, I’ve included
only three categorical payments
for the year.”
Last year, for example, the
district received two of its
state payments, and the third
quarter installment came on
Aug. 10.
“We received that one
[payment,] so we know we
have that one for this year,
and then we’ll also most
likely receive last year’s
[fourth quarter] payment this
year,” Groos said. “What
To participate in the program, students
will pay $3.25 per meal.
• Board members were presented the
unaudited results from fiscal year 2017.
As of July, the district reportedly spent
roughly $1 million less than budgeted
and collected approximately $1 million
less than expected, in part, because
State of Illinois payments were not
received. The final budget was 99.96
percent accurate, with forecasted
numbers amounting to $36,977,000
and actual projections totaling to
$36,944,000.
I’ve budgeted for here is
to see one payment for this
current school year, so it’s
debatable whether or not to
include a second payment
in the budget for this next
school year.”
Groos said nobody is
projecting to bring in more
than two categorical payments
during this current
school year.
“I think only collecting
one payment is kind of — I
don’t know I want to say pessimistic
say it’s 50/50, and
the only way to know, for
sure, is to see what happens
over the next few weeks in
terms of the school funding
laws that they come up with
[in Springfield.]”
To date, the State of Illinois
is $14 billion behind in
payment to school districts
and other units of government.
A budget hearing will be
held in September, at which
point the board is to discuss
the final budget. At that
point, officials will take action
on it.
“It’s really a matter of
we’ll make that decision
for the final legal budget of
whether or not to keep that
second payment in there, or
just keep only one payment
for the school year in there,”
Groos said.
Superintendent Peggy
Manville said the district
should “stay inspired” that
they’ll receive two categorical
payments this year.
The district is projecting
to end the fiscal year with
a $28 million surplus with
only one categorical accounted
for. That represents
a 55 percent operating fund
balance, which Groos said,
is excellent.
“That’s about six-and-half
months worth of reserves,
and like we say each year,
these sufficient fund balances
and operating surpluses
allow New Lenox School
District [122] to continue to
offer high-quality programs,
despite all the potential future
funding reductions…
and also continue to improve
our district infrastructure
without the need to issue
any new debt at this time,”
he said.
In a 6-0 decision, officials
approved the fiscal year
2018 tentative budget as presented
to the board. Board
Member Michele Degroot
Rosenfeld was absent.
Koch
From Page 3
ability of his wife to continue
to hold down the fort at
home and still continue her
work with the VFW Post is
incredible.
“They are just very unique
people in this world. To see
what they display at this
time of violence, hatred and
judgment in so many places
around us should help renew
our faith in humanity.”
Cunningham said that
when the idea of having a
benefit for the Kochs came
up, “there was a lot of
buzz.”
“There is never hesitation
from anyone,” she said.
“Some of the people contributing
to this event don’t
even know Bill and Nancy;
they just know they are a local
couple in need of some
help.”
She said the benefit and
the YouCaring website was
a way for the Kochs’ family
and friends to show Bill and
Nancy how much they care
and want to help.
As for the event, Cunningham
said there will be
great food and fun for those
who attend. There also will
be bands playing live music,
as well as a disc jockey in
between. Some of the raffle
items include a: $1,000 cash
prize; $500 worth of scratchoff
tickets; and autographed
items from Mick Jagger,
Bon Jovi, Bruno Mars,
Fleetwood Mac, Toby Keith,
Joe Walsh, Brian Urlacher,
Kyle Hendricks and more
music and sports stars.
“It’s going to be a fun
day,” Cunningham said.
“We’re coming together in
the spirit of friendship and
support. You don’t have to
know [the Kochs]. They
could be strangers, and you
can still come and be welcomed.
No matter where you
walk in that facility that day,
there’s going to be a feeling
of camaraderie and of positive
attitude.”

New Lenox Village Board
Officials reject plan for controversial Lincoln Station apartments
Megann Horstead
Freelance Reporter
Village officials decided to
not approve an extension of a
special use for development
of the controversial Lincoln
Station apartments at their
Aug. 14 regular meeting.
New Lenox Development
Corporation representatives
had sought a third extension
for its development plan for
the 208-unit complex near
the Village’s Metra Station,
but were shelved by trustees.
Officials had approved
preliminary plans for the
project in August 2015, at
which point the board’s decision
was valid for one year.
Meeting minutes show the
matter drew concern from
a number of residents at a
July 2015 special meeting.
A change to the development
plan is what resulted thereby
reducing the number of units
from 312 to 208.
New Lenox Development
Corporation was due to approach
the Village in July
2015 to seek another approval
for the project, however it
received a six-month extension
last August because it
was working through issues
with Army Corps of Engineers.
At that point, it was the
petitioners’ intent to develop
the property and not sell it.
In February, officials wanted
the New Lenox Development
Corporation to report
back with their findings.
Minutes from that particular
meeting show that Mayor
Tim Baldermann questioned
if the petitioner is seeking to
advance the project or if it is
for marketing purposes.
New Lenox Development
Corporation representative
Richard Gammonley refuted
the idea at the time and cited
there were some changes in
partnership of the development.
At that point, another
six-month extension was
granted.
Mayor Tim Baldermann
wanted the petitioners to approach
the board again at
their Aug. 14 meeting and requested
that they speak.
“The reason I say that is
last time when you were
here, I specifically asked
on-the-record because we
had heard that this was being
marketed,” he said. “I
was told, ‘No, that is wasn’t
going to be sold. The issue
was solely the issue with the
Army Corps [of Engineers,]’
and now there’s a different
reason for looking for the extension.”
Gammonley said they informed
the Village of their
intent to sell or partner with
another firm after a February
meeting for “transparency”
and added they are just days
from choosing a partnership
with one of two groups or
selling the property to develop
it.
To date, Village staff was
provided with two letters of
intent to help the petitioners
in advancing the project.
Gammonley said they believe
the development is the
right fit for the Village of
New Lenox.
Trustee David Smith said
he will not support the extension
of a special use, though
the Village thought highly of
the project.
“We got a lot of heat on
it because it,” he said. “It’s
gone a lot longer than it
should have. Because while
you sit here and say, ‘It’s
great project, and it’s worked
in Elmhurst; it works here;
it worked here; it worked
there.’ I’ve watched them be
built in Elmhurst, and I’ve
watched be built in Glenview,
and I’ve watched them
be built all over the suburbs
of Chicago. The one place I
haven’t watched it be built:
New Lenox.”
Baldermann referenced
both offers the Village had
received and said one of them
was not executed at all and
the other was expired.
“Neither one of those—in
my opinion—were valid,” he
said.
Gammonley said they are
in middle of negotiations regarding
two offers and added
they don’t like how long it is
taking to bring the project on
line.
“They were executed but
by the purchasers,” he said.
“[For the] seller, it has [been]
unexecuted. One of those two
offers [will be accepted] in
the next five business days.”
After a motion failed to be
seconded by the trustees, the
vote died on the floor.
Trustee Annette Bowden
said this was “disheartening.”
Baldermann said the
board’s decision does not
mean the project is dead.
With an extension denied,
New Lenox Development
Corp, if they choose to do so,
will need to approach the Village,
with another request for
preliminary approval.
Plans for Silver Cross
Hospital behavioral health
campus OK’d
Village officials advanced
Silver Cross Hospital’s plans
to build a behavioral health
campus and two related
items.
Silver Cross Hospital is
partnering with US Health-
Vest to build a 100-bed,
68,000-square-foot facility
on the property located at the
southwest corner of Silver
Cross Boulevard and Pawlak
Parkway. Construction is
in the works already for the
hospital’s new ambulatory
surgical center.
Plans submitted by Silver
Cross Hospital will conform
to the Village’s comprehensive
plan and zoning ordinances.
Board action also approves
a surety in the amount of
$404,932.50 to ensure completion
of related public improvements
by August 2019
and a site plan review.
New brewery could be on
tap for New Lenox
New Lenox officials took
a preliminary look at a Village
rule creating a Class D4
liquor license for a prospective
new business.
Gary Meyer, of New
Lenox, intends to open up
a new craft beer establishment
dubbed Hickory Creek
Brewing Company at 1005
W. Laraway Rd., Unit 260.
Meyer said he has competed
in a number of contests
for brewers and added
he likes to make everything.
“Our signature beer is an
imperial porter, and everyone
who has ever had it says

Lincoln-Way D210 Board of Education
Lacrosse receives board approval as IHSA sport for 2017-2018 school year
Meredith Dobes
Freelance Reporter
The boys and girls lacrosse
teams at Lincoln-
Way Community High
School District 210 will be
able to continue to compete
this school year, following
a vote by the School Board
Thursday, Aug. 17, to approve
lacrosse as an Illinois
High School Association
sport.
The approval was unanimous,
with Board Member
Christine Glatz absent.
Until this year, lacrosse
has been deemed an “emerging
sport” by IHSA, meaning
that it was recognized as
a club at schools that participated
in the sport. Because
of its growth, IHSA officially
sanctioned the sport
this year, requiring schools
to also officially adopt the
sport and staff it as a regular
sport.
Superintendent R. Scott
Tingley said the timing of
the IHSA’s decision is difficult
for D210 financially,
but the athletes’ families
were willing to take on most
of the costs the first year in
order to continue to have
the sport at the district.
He said transportation
costs for lacrosse were approximately
$8,000 last
year, and that amount may
rise between $1,000-$3,000
this year, depending on state
series travel. The teams
would be responsible for
paying for coaches, uniforms
and equipment. The
cost per player would be
between $266-$400, and the
club would work with players
unable to pay the fee,
Tingley said.
“We’ve not budgeted for
these sports, and the [athletic
directors] don’t have them in
their budgets at this time,”
Tingley said.
Round it up
A brief recap of action and discussion at the Aug. 17 meeting
of Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 board:
• The School Board unanimously approved its portion
of the Lincoln-Way Area Special Education District 843
budget, in the amount of approximately $3.8 million.
• Board members discussed a requested four-year
property tax abatement for Surface Shield, an Orland
Park business considering relocating to Tinley Park,
within the district’s boundaries. Board members
requested more information, including whether the
business would be interested in supplying internships
to Lincoln-Way students.
For the future, Tingley
said the district will need to
analyze all costs associated
with sports and determine
how the district can move
forward.
The boys lacrosse team is
anticipated to have between
80-100 athletes, and the girls
team is expected to have between
45-50 athletes. The
teams include students from
all three schools.
Financial planning for FY
2018
The School Board unanimously
approved scheduling
a public hearing Sept. 21 for
the fiscal year 2018 tentative
budget.
Assistant Superintendent
of Business Brad Cauffman
said the budget will be available
for review by the public
on BoardDocs beginning
Monday, Aug. 21, and there
will be an in-depth presentation
on the budget at the
Thursday, Aug. 31 meeting.
Cauffman also presented
the tax levy determination
for the district for 2017,
showing how much money
the district is estimated to
need from taxation. The total
estimated 2017 levy is approximately
$81.6 million,
or a 2.2 percent increase for
existing taxpayers.
The School Board unanimously
approved the determination,
and Cauffman
said the levy itself will be up
for approval at the Sept. 21
meeting.
Cauffman said the district
needed to approve its
levy early — most school
districts approve levies in
December — to prepare for
requesting tax anticipation
warrants.
He added that the levy
determination is balanced
against the proposed budget.
Later in the meeting, the
School Board also reviewed
an action plan for Policy
4:20 regarding fund balance,
with the goal that the district
increase operating funds by
3 percent annually.
Cauffman said if the district
is able to do this each
year, it may be able to eliminate
the need for TAWs by
fiscal year 2028.
“This shows we’re in a
pretty significant hole that
is going to take a number
of years to get back out of
it,” Board Member Christopher
Lucchetti said. “Three
percent seems reasonable.
It doesn’t jeopardize current
students and what we’re
spending. We have to get
off [TAWs]. This is a good
plan.”
Will County Public Safety Complex appears ahead of schedule
Tuminello: New
building is expected
to open in December
Staff Report
Members of the Will
County Board toured the
new Public Safety Complex
today as the building enters
its final phases of construction.
Construction is slated
for completion in December,
and some offices will move
into the building as soon as
Sept. 1, 2017.
“It’s exciting to see the
building take shape after so
many months of planning
and deliberation,” said Ray
Tuminello (R-New Lenox),
chairman of the Capital
Improvements Committee.
“Everyone has been working
hard and is eager to see the
Complex open in December.”
Members of the Capital
Improvements Committee,
as well as other board
members, attended the tour.
Board members were able to
walk around the main public
lobby, offices, server storage,
and the new main dispatch
room on the first level.
On the second level, board
members had the opportunity
to see progress on the
sheriff’s office and the new
training room.
“The new Public Safety
Complex will house some of
the County’s most important
safety facilities, such as the
Sheriff’s office and the 911
Dispatch Center,” said Lauren
Staley-Ferry (D-Joliet).
“Consolidating everything
in one centralized location
will help keep operations efficient
and the residents of
Will County safe.”
Construction on the Public
Safety Complex began in
October 2016, and was initially
estimated to be completed
by March 2018 at a
cost of $29.5 million. The
building should be complete
three months early, in December
2017, thanks to an
accelerated contract, great
weather, and local labor.
“I’ve been very impressed
with the security and technology,”
said Minority Leader
Herb Brooks (D-Joliet). “We
have really increased the

Park district hosts grand re-opening for Firefighters Park
Megann Horstead
Freelance Reporter
Civic leaders, residents
and community members
commemorated the grand
re-opening of Firefighters
Park Aug. 14 during Party
in the Park.
The event was made possible
thanks, in part, to the
Lincolnway Special Recreation
Association.
“What we do is we go out
to the park and we throw
a park party,” said Karyn
Reczek, marketing outreach
and fundraising coordinator
for LWSRA. “We bring
a bounce house; we bring
popcorn; we bring lemonade;
we have a DJ; we’ll
play some games; we’ll do
a hula-hoop contest; [we’ll]
award some prizes. For us,
it’s all about awareness. We
just want to tell the communities
that we’re in who
Lincolnway Special Recreation
is, so that they can tell
the people that they know
with special needs who we
are and have them come if
they’re interested our programs.”
The New Lenox Community
Park District is one of
six member districts that belong
to the Lincolnway Special
Recreation Association.
Reczek said LWSRA uses
Party in the Park to help
communicate to residents
the role they play in supporting
individuals with
special needs through special
recreation programming,
as well as vying for
park enhancements.
“[Firefighters Park] is
handicap accessible, which
makes this a perfect location
for our Party in the
Park,” she said.
Firefighters Park, formerly
known as Greenbriar
Park, served as one of the
Village’s 12 original parks
for people to enjoy. The
New Lenox park received
improvements last year to
address concerns for flooding
and safety, and they
were completed in June
2016.
“There was a composite
structure that had climbers
and slides and overhead and
different features, and it was
23 years old,” said George
Travnicek, director of
parks-maintenance for New
Lenox Community Park
District. “If you can get 15
years out of a playground,
normally they say that’s
good. So, that was wellserved.
… When we had to
take that one out because of
safety and we could no longer
get the parts, we were
void of a playground [and]
of a really nice composite
structure.”
The site of the new playground
replaces a composite
structure that was
donated by the Lions Club
in 1994 and includes board
and play surfacing, swings,
play apparatus, turf and
the firefighter theme. Other
changes include new walks
and ramps compliant with
the Americans with Disabilities
Act standards, concrete
curbing, 12 mature trees,
enclosures and fencing. The
New Lenox Community
Park District had allotted
approximately $320,000 out
of the parks and recreation
fund to pay for Firefighters
Park improvements.
Travnicek said the upgrades
have received nothing
but positive feedback —
whether it’s from children,
the New Lenox Fire Protection
District or Mayor Tim
Baldermann.
“This [section of the
park] is sort of unique that
this was always a low area
that always wanted to flood,
and then always wanted to
hold water,” Travnicek said,
referring to the new playground.
“We have underground
drainage that we can
drain the site now. So, this
was an area that we never

really used because of the
fact that it would always
flood and hold water.”
Today, the park features
several levels of elevation
in which people can access
the playground and other
amenities.
“With some earthwork and
some underground drainage,
we were able to make this
viable,” Travnicek said.

Facts about home safety
Each year, the American
Red Cross responds to
nearly 64,000 disasters, the
vast majority of which are
home fires. In order to address
this, the Red Cross
set a goal to reduce firerelated
deaths and injuries
in the US by 25 percent
by 2020.
On average:
• Seven people die every
day from a home fire
• Thirty-seven people
suffer injuries as a result of
home fires every day
• More than $7 billion in
property damage occurs every
year
How to prepare your family
Residents can keep their
family safe in the event of
a home fire with two simple
steps:
• Step 1 – Practice a
2-minute drill. Make sure
family members can safely
escape a home fire in less
than two minutes.
• Step 2 – Test your smoke
alarms monthly. Make sure
you and your family are
alerted as soon as a fire is
detected. If the smoke alarm
isn’t working, change the
batteries.

It’s great to see this new
Public Safety Complex will
be a high quality facility. Construction
ending a few months
early is an added bonus.”
The new Public Safety
Complex will house the
Sheriff’s Office, 911 Dispatch
Center, and Emergency
Telephone System Board
(ETSB). The 85,000 squarefoot
facility is located in Joliet
on Laraway Road and
Route 52. It will replace
the existing Sheriff’s Office
next door and provide a new
administration and training
building, evidence storage,
and space for a consolidated
911 Dispatch Center that
will serve 30 communities,
as well as ETSB. Currently,
there is a need for a central
location for these functions
that are now spread throughout
the County. Once the
new complex is complete,
the old Sheriff’s Office will
be torn down.
In August of 2013, after
many years of deliberation,
the Will County Board approved
a comprehensive
plan for major capital improvement
projects throughout
the County. Completion
of the Public Safety Complex
will herald the construction
of a judicial complex
in downtown Joliet on the
southwest corner of Ottawa
and Jefferson Streets. The
County purchased the former
Midwest Bank building
in late 2014 to accommodate
the Sheriff’s operations until
they move into the Public
Safety Complex. Right now,
this move will be ahead of
schedule to allow the county
to stay on schedule for the
new courthouse.

LWSRA golf outing tees off at The Sanctuary Golf Course
Megann Horstead
Freelance Reporter
The golf outing has annually
been one of the
Lincolnway Special Recreation
Association’s biggest
fundraisers, and this year’s
was shaping up to be no
different.
The event, which was
held 9:30 a.m. Friday, Aug.
11, took place at The Sanctuary
Golf Course and featured
lunch, a dinner buffet
and raffle prizes.
LWSRA Executive Director
Keith Wallace said
it’s great to be able to host
the 10th annual golf outing.
“We started it—actually,
I was here for the very first
one—we started a long time
ago, and we just wanted to
do a golf outing,” Wallace
said. “It’s able to support
some of our programming
throughout the year, which
is absolutely phenomenal.
Our foundation [that] actually
puts on this—the
foundation golf outing for
Lincolnway Special Recreation
— they donate at least
$30,000 a year.”
This time around, the
event featured more than
50 raffle baskets for people
to browse through and try
their hand at winning.
“A lot of our families,
they bring in a lot of baskets
and a lot of donations
through that,” Wallace
said. “It’s a real community
and family approach to it,
which our families put in to
help create the baskets and
give us things throughout
the year.
“We get over 50 donations
a year from just different
people. Even some
of the golfers will donate
baskets and things like
that.”
Golfing at the event
cost $130 per person and
included a welcome gift,
complimentary range and

beverage cart on the course,
lunch at the turn and a dinner
reception. Golfers who
sponsored a hole paid $600
for a foursome, the sponsor’s
name appeared in the
golf outing program and
they received verbal recognition
at dinner.
The outing featured a
number of sponsorship opportunities
for businesses
to choose from, and rates
started at $25.
“A lot of businesses came
out to support us,” Wallace
said. “They’re going to
have a fun activity on the
holes, so [the golfers are]
going to have a real good
time out there.”
Participants enjoyed
competing in a scramble
golf with a shotgun start at
11 a.m.
“We usually get some
real good golfers who come
in every year and get some
good scores,” Wallace said.
“We’ll see how it all pans
out.”
This year’s event sold out
and brought in 144 golfers.
“That’s our goal: to sell
out,” Wallace said. “We
like to have at least two
or three sponsorships per
hole, so that is going pretty
well.”
LWSRA strives to provide
services to residents
of New Lenox, Frankfort,
Mokena, Peotone, Wilmington
and Manhattan. Proceeds
go to help the organization
and its ability to
serve people with special
needs.
“Between those six communities,
we have a good
pulse on the local businesses,
the chambers and
everything like that,” Wallace
said. “We get a good
turnout, so it’s really nice.”
Wallace said seeing the
community’s support for
LWSRA is amazing.
“It’s a real big fundraiser
for us, and we’re very appreciative
of everybody
that helps out and makes it
possible.” he said.

Medical teacher, Samantha
Taylor, attended a
two-day Anatomy in Clay
Conference at the Field Museum
in Chicago over the
summer.
Taylor attended the conference
to meet and collaborate
with other Anatomy and
Physiology teachers from all
over the U.S., including Texas,
California, Minnesota
and Tennessee. The conference
combined high-schoollevel
skills along with collegiate-level
expertise.
The conference offered a
hands-on, multi-sensory clay
workshop of the human anatomy.
Taylor took on the role
of a student by participating
in learning a new way of
building the body with clay.
“If the hands can build it,
the brain will remember it,”
Taylor said.
“We’ve had more students
apply for a medical program
than ever before. I learned
a different way of working
with the anatomy to bring to
the classroom,” Taylor said.
The workshop required
participants to use models
that are used in medical
schools today, which Taylor
described as an “amazing”
experience.
“It is very hard to find a
means of professional development
in our department,
so I am very grateful for the
benefits I received over this
two day event,” she said.

High school teachers get a chance to use clay models, like
the one above, which are used in collegiate-level anatomy

Taylor also works with

students to attend medical

year. She continues to assist
students interested in
this field with methods they
could not receive outside of

FROM THE MOKENA MESSENGER
Wolf Road repairs on the
way
The Village of Mokena
Board of Trustees voted 6-0
Aug. 14, to approve emergency
repairs to part of Wolf
Road after an early July incident
in which the road buckled
because of extreme heat.
“Wolf Road buckled near
the Ken Heim Maintenance
Facility, just north of Marley
Creek [on July 6],” said
Mark Detloff, assistant public
works director, during the
meeting. “A contractor was
engaged on an emergency
basis that day to complete
some temporary repairs and
to make the street safe for
motorists. In order to prevent
any further faults from
occurring, permanent repairs
must be completed as soon
as possible to remove inconsistencies
in the roadway.”
Detloff said three bids
were secured by staff for
the work, with Davis Concrete
Construction Company
submitting the lowest bid at
$43,500.
“Over the years, Davis
has completed a substantial
amount of work in Mokena
with positive results, including
similar patching work on
Wolf Road,” Detloff said.
According to the staff report,
the money to pay for
the emergency repairs is to
be taken from the Village’s
capital road repair fund. Staff
noted in the report that the
Village’s capital project bids
are currently $115,220 less
than the budgeted amount.

FROM THE ORLAND PARK PRAIRIE
Police: Armed home invader
sprays man with substance,
takes jewelry
A man invaded an Orland
Park home last week,
sprayed a 68-year-old man
with a substance “similar to
pepper spray” and left with
jewelry, according to police.
The incident occurred just
before 9:52 a.m. Aug. 14 in
the 9400 block of Boardwalk
Lane, according to a press
release issued by the Orland
Park Police Department the
same day.
A lone male reportedly entered
the home via an open
garage door, confronted and
sprayed the man, and then
began to search the home for
valuables. He also had a handgun
on his person that was observed
by the victim, according
to Cmdr. Tony Farrell.
The offender — described
as being between 5-foot-9 and
6-foot-0, with a thin build,
wearing a mask “similar to a
ski mask” — was inside the
home for roughly 10 minutes
before exiting with a “limited
amount” of jewelry, according
to the press release.
After the man exited the
residence, the victim was
able to reach a phone and
called 911, police said. Farrell
said the victim was evaluated
at the scene by paramedics
and did not require
transport to the hospital.
Orland Park Police said
they had no reason to believe
the man remained in the area,
but a precautionary search of
the nearby area reportedly
was conducted with the help
of the Cook County Sheriff’s
Police bloodhound, Orland
Hills officers and a helicopter.
Police ask anyone with information
that could help to
identify the alleged offender
to call (708) 349-4111.

From THE FRANKFORT STATION
Hickory Creek STEM room
unveiled
Frankfort School District
157-C officials, board members
and parents beamed
Aug. 16 as the ribbon was
cut on a new Hickory Creek
Middle School STEM room
and renovations to the
school’s library.
The project, completed
over the summer, comes as
the district continues to integrate
21st century learning
skills into its curriculum.
“We’re really excited to
offer this to our students,”
Hickory Creek Principal
Will Seidelmann said. “My
biggest pet peeve about
these two spaces will be,
yes, they’re pretty spaces,
but they all make sense. Everything
lends itself to what
we’re doing in the STEM
classroom, as well as what
we want to do with the library
space.”
The renovations to the library
replaced rows of bookshelves
with various forms of
tables and seating meant to
encourage collaboration and
teamwork. Seidelmann said
students will be able to take
advantage of the space before
and after school hours, and it
will be an ideal meeting spot
for groups such as the National
Junior Honor Society.
The STEM room, previously
a computer lab attached
to the library, now features
high- and low-top tables,
along with a project room for
students to brainstorm. According
to Seidelmann, the
room will be utilized by all
sixth- and seventh-graders
as part of their STEM encore
course and by eighth-graders
in select elective courses.

FROM THE TINLEY JUNCTION
Local actress refuses to
sugarcoat her experiences
“My father called me
‘sugar,’” actress Monique
Cafe said. “All is right with
the world.”
The 57-year-old performer
from Matteson repeated
that phrase during her onewoman
tell-all show, which
starts with her nickname and
unfolds into her life story.
Cafe — who wrote, produced
and starred in “Sugar”—
held back to back performances
Aug. 12 and 13 at
the Tinley Park Performing
Arts Center.
“This is what I’ve been
working for so I’m excited,”
Cafe said, prior to the start
of the Sunday matinee. “I’ve
been performing up in the
city, but I wanted to bring
something new out to the
south suburbs, where I’m
from, so that the people who
know me best can experience
my show.”
Cafe’s family members
were peppered throughout
the packed theater, including
her husband, Charles Gary,
and cousin, Joy Johnson.
“Just because I’m her
cousin doesn’t mean I know
what to expect from the
show,” Johnson said. “There
are some things you might
not talk about with family.
So, I’m going to be just as
amazed, shocked or entertained
as everyone else.”
Throughout “Sugar,” Cafe
weaved in and out of the pivotal
moments in her life and
revisited parts of her past,
which included an unexpected
childhood loss to a family
mystery.
“I’m really happy to do the
full premiere of the show in
the south suburbs, because
that’s where I’m from,” Cafe
said. “Now, I can expand it
out to other areas. I think
that everybody can relate to
something in this story.”

From the Assistant Editor
Football lessons from ‘Game of Thrones’
Amanda Stoll
a.stoll@22ndcenturymedia.com
The game of football
draws many parallels
to the popular HBO
series “Game of Thrones,”
which is why the “Football
is Coming” title was chosen
for 22nd Century Media’s
annual football preview.
The preview has taken
over the sports section,
much like GoT has taken
over people’s Sunday evenings
lately.
For those of you who
haven’t watched the show,
I’d highly recommend it. Yes,
we’re now in Season 7, but
a look at the Nielsen ratings
will show you that more and
more people have been viewing
the show each season.

FROM THE LOCKPORT LEGEND
Man reportedly shot during
drug deal in Lockport
A Romeoville man reportedly
was shot in the arm
Aug. 16 during a drug deal
in Fairmont.
The victim suffered non
life-threatening injuries during
the transaction in Lockport’s
Fairmont subdivision,
and drove to East Romeo
Road in Romeoville, where
Will County Sheriff’s deputies
responded around 1:15
p.m., according to Will
County spokesperson Kathy
It’s never too late to start
watching a show, so go
ahead and start binge watching
seasons 1-6. By the time
you get done with season
6, the current season will
likely be released for home
viewing.
The story is based on a
series of books by George
R.R. Martin that can be
described as a medieval
fantasy epic — which I have
not read yet, but plan to —
and it has translated well to
the longer-episode, series
format.
Fun fact: The book series
is actually titled “A Song of
Ice and Fire” with the first
novel being titled “A Game
of Thrones.”
I’ll admit the first season
had a bit more nudity and
graphic violence than I think
I was prepared for, but don’t
let that scare you off. The
seasons focus less on the
carnal in subsequent seasons
and the story lines get much
more interesting.
Don’t let the word “fantasy”
scare you off either.
I know a lot of people who
probably wouldn’t be attracted
to things like “Lord
of the Rings” or the Harry
Potter series but have found
“Game of Thrones” to be
quite enjoyable.
They probably feel the
way about GoT that I feel
about most sports. If I don’t
pay much attention to the
games, scores and fantasy
leagues throughout the season,
then I really couldn’t
care less when it comes
around time for the Superbowl
or the Stanley Cup. If
I really get invested during
the season; though, then I’m
all in when it comes to the
playoffs.
So, let’s compare the
football preview to “Game
of Thrones” once again.
GoT is full of leaders,
each with their own unique
style of conquering. Whether
it be by force, stealth
or fear, or a combination
thereof, making the right
moves at the right times is
crucial.
In football, those plays can
make or break a game and
it’s up to the teams’ leaders
— the coaches and captains
— to make it happen.
Hoffmeyer.
The 22-year-old told deputies
he set up a meeting
with an unknown individual
via Snapchat to purchase
cannabis, and when he drove
to Fairmont Avenue around
12:45 p.m., he was approached
by a man described
as black, 17-18 years old,
5-foot-6 and 120 pounds,
with no facial hair. The man
asked to see the money for
the transaction and said he
would be right back.
After the first man walked
away, a second man — described
as black, with a
medium skin tone, 17-18
years old, 6-foot-2 and 150
pounds, with a light mustache
— entered the passenger
side of the vehicle
and revealed a handgun.
The Romeoville man reportedly
attempted to push the
other man out of the vehicle
and began to drive away, at
which point the man in the
passenger’s seat shot the Romeoville
man as he jumped
out of the moving vehicle.
The alleged victim was
transferred to Adventist
Medical Center in Bolingbrook.
Will County Sheriff’s
detectives are investigating
the incident.
Reporting by Max Lapthorne,
Editor. For more, visit
LockportLegend.com.
Leadership isn’t all about
having a fancy title; though,
and, as we’ve seen with
Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage)
in GoT, sometimes
even the little guy can make
a big difference.
That could mean one
player or an entire team.
Either way, anything is
possible when it comes to
a new football season — or
a new season of “Game of
Thrones” for that matter.
Our sports section will
tell you when and where the
fall football games are, who
the players are, which will
help you keep tabs on all the
areas teams.
Luckily, with “Game
of Thrones” you can get
replays on every episode
and prepare yourself for the
final season, or championship
if you will, and be part
of the hype that is one of
my new favorite stories.

Poetry Corner
FRAGILE BLUE
Uninhabited ruins
Overspread the earth with sin
O Watcher of men, awaken
Come Jesus, bring victory’s win.
Bitterness strengthens in trials
Throbbing chasms of wickedness
Barely to catch my breath
Into a pathless wilderness.
Crushed in the treads of waves
Contempt disarms the weak
Wages of hurtful offenses
Disgraced beyond misery.
Words like strong winds, spoken
Terrified with visions of dread
Anguish pours forth precisely
Strangling my soul to shred.
Days in the land of darkness
Spent without hope, no remedy
Subverted judgment applied
Now regarded as an enemy.
The forger of lies imprisons
Whose feet slip into his traps
Tightens, bond of the shackled
Shame and guilt’s deceitful slap.
Company of hypocrites, slay
Unprofitable talk is filthy
The abominable sword awaits
Empty knowledge acts stealthy.

My cries find no resting place
I lay shattered in the dust
Steps of strength, shortened
Silence for now to entrust.
Conceal me, though I be shaken
As I grope in darkness for light
Oppressed, despised and barren
Vindicate me less I die.
Rebuke mockers that taunt me
Sorrow looks for a dwelling place
Estranged acquaintances loud
My memory perished in disgrace.
Cover the faces of my judges
That plunged me into the pit
Preserve my spirit in Thy care
You alone God can acquit.
Supplication made to God
Secured hope to rest in safety
Forgives in His mercy and grace
Renews His witness greatly

Dickson’s next step in career lands in New Lenox
Amanda Stoll, Assistant Editor
It’s been about two months
since The Rev. Wesley
Dickson was appointed his
new position as senior pastor
at the United Methodist
Church of New Lenox, but
he’s already putting the pressure
on himself to remember
everyone’s names.
“I’m the kind of person
who loves to meet with
people, loves to get to know
who they are and loves to
encounter folks,” Dickson
said. “This is a church that’s
just big enough that it’s
tough to learn everybody’s
name quickly. So, there’s a
piece of me that’s really adjusting
to not really knowing
everybody right away.”
That’s part of his personality
though, trying to get to
know everyone in his church
as soon as he can and helping
them in their faith journey.
“I love what I do,” Dickson
said. “I have a passion
of just connecting people to
faith that’s deep, and rich
and meaningful, and something
that’s going to provide
a reason for you to want to
get out of bed on a Sunday
morning to engage in faith,
to cause you to think, to
grow a little bit deeper, to be
challenged a little bit. But,
also just to experience something
that equips you to have
quality community.”
Dickson grew up in Bristol
and graduated from Northern
Illinois University in DeKalb
with a degree in communication
studies before attending
the University of Dubuque
Theological Seminary, where
he received his Master of Divinity
degree.
He became a pastor long
before the degrees, however,
and began preaching at two
small churches at the age of
20 when he said he experienced
the call to ministry.
As part of the United Methodist
Church’s process of itinerancy,
where pastors are appointed
to different churches
on a yearly basis. Dickson
most recently served as a pastor
at a church in Sterling and
Bolingbrook before that.
He and his wife, Karen,
had dated since middle school
before getting married after
college. She works as a
speech-language pathologist
at Independence Elementary
School in Bolingbrook, where
the couple currently lives.
Aside from the challenge
of learning his parishioners’
names, Dickson said he is
adjusting well to the new
church and is looking forward
to September when
programming at the church
picks back up.
“For the most part, a lot of
what we do as pastors is pretty
transferable from place
to place,” Dickson said. “...
Even though [pastors] move
among different churches,
we’re all structured the same
because we all basically
adhere to the same Book
of Discipline, which is the
outline for how we structure
our life and ministry and our
work together.”
Another change for Dickson
has been that he has some
extra help in the form of The
Rev. Matthew Krings — the
associate pastor at UMC of
New Lenox.
“My experience up until
[coming to New Lenox] has
been serving as a solo pastor,
so one of the things I’m pleasantly
adjusting to I’m is working
with a colleague,” Dickson
said. “We can frequently
get together and bounce ideas
off of each other, and make
sure that ministries are covered,
and that we’re able to do
the work together and coordinate,
which, as far as I’m concerned,
is one of the greatest
blessings of this place.”
Aside from his work at the
church, Dickson said he enjoys
reading and geocaching
in his free time — and said
he’s already found a few caches
near the church and along
the Old Plank Road Trail.
Dickson has a unique way
of describing faith, and compares
it to Magic Eye images
— stereograms that were popular
in the 90s and feature an
intricate, computer generated
pattern with a hidden 3D image.
“There’s so many people
who get lost in the details or
you just give up, or you just
don’t focus on it, But, to catch
a glimpse of the actual 3D image
is one of the greatest moments,”
Dickson said. “That’s
my passion is to equip people
to stick with it [and] look
deeper. Don’t get lost in the
tedium, and don’t just eliminate
pieces that you don’t
like. There’s something rich
behind there, and if you catch
the image of the fullness of
our faith it’s magnificent, just
magnificent.”

Chapter Chatter
Emma Cline takes you on a rollercoaster ride with ‘The Girls’
Haley Thompson
New Lenox Resident
Emma Cline has
written a novel that
demands attention.
Debut novels as hypnotic
as “The Girls” is very rare.
Praise for Cline’s work has
disquieted The Los Angeles
Times, The Washington Post
and The Guardian.
Although I, Haley
Thompson (the recent
college graduate), does
not represent a prestigious
company, I think my review
of “The Girls” arrests its
fame. You can take my word
for it. “The Girls” has officially
become my favorite
book of the summer.
Written with spellbinding
diction, Cline seduces
anyone who dares to pick up
her masterpiece. Illustrating
the nightmare of Charles
Manson’s infamous commune,
Cline’s writing is told
through a fictional character
who shares her pleasurably
evil summer with the cult
and its mystic ring leader.
The book is set in northern
California amidst the start
of summer and the end
the 1960s. Following the
civil rights riots and protests,
a free-love movement
emerges.
Fourteen year-old Evie
Boyd’s life takes a dramatic
shift after she catches her
father cheating (someone
took the free-love movement
too literally). Her parents’
divorce leaves her more
abandoned than ever before.
The one friend Evie had,
Connie, severed their friendship
following an incestual
scandal. As summer begins,
Evie’s father is living with a
barely-legal bombshell, and
her once poised mother, has
transformed into a incense
burning, married-man-dating
sleaze. Evie isolates herself
in a blanket of depression
and loneliness. She is now
friendless and family-less. It
doesn’t take long for a heavy
tension between Evie and
her mother to birth a divide
into their home.
How did she go from endless
sleepovers spent taking
life advice from a Cosmopolitan
magazine and family
vacations to isolation? The
aftermath of an absent father,
a hippie mother who is
soul searching and a slimey
best friend break up leads
Evie Boyd directly into the
greedy hands of a cult.
Evie would do anything to
become accepted by the farrelly
beautiful group of girls
she sees ravishing through
dumpsters for food and
stealing toilet paper from the
local convenience store. A
sudden obsession with their
stench of unwashed freedom
overtakes her. Evie begins
stealing money, food and
breaking into houses to gain
the conditional acceptance
from them.
She is quickly woven into
the girls “group” and is soon
taken to a run down farm to
meet their “leader.” Evie is
unaware that this gathering
and essence of sexual attraction
between all the girls
and this man is a cult.
Evie’s life soon seems
to spiral out of control.
From getting arrested, being
brainwashed to oppose
societal norms, having sex
with middle-aged men,
falling in love with girls and
being a lover of her favorite
Suzanne, Evie no longer
recognizes herself. She
could have never known
that the summer she spent
with “the girls” would brand
her for life as a member one
of the most murderous and
infamous cults of the ages.
One mistake, gone horribly
wrong leaves countless lives
lost and innocence stolen.

AFJROTC students shine at leadership school
Submitted by Lincoln-Way
Community High School
District 210
Back in June, Lincoln-Way
students from the Air Force
Junior ROTC programs completed
a week-long Leadership
School conducted at
Wright State University in
Dayton, Ohio. Cadets endured
intense physical training,
leadership skill classes
and team-building activities.
Among the 150 cadets at
the camp, 12 Lincoln-Way
students were also there
to represent Illinois. High
schools from Ohio, Kentucky
and Michigan also participated.
Cadets who attended the
course were Hunter Brugler,
Matthew Deavers, Dominica
Diangi, Alexis Dunham,
Arick Hauschild, Elizabeth
Ihrke, Taylor Lenburg, Kirsten
Lutz, Elizabeth Prynn,
Raechel Sweeney, Michael
Thompson and Nathaniel
Zambrano. They were accompanied
by Lt. Col. John
O’Connor (LW East) and
Master Sgt. Dan Schliffka
(LW Central, LW West)
Lincoln-Way has several
outstanding cadets who
were recognized during this
week-long program. Lenburg
received the Top Academic
Award by achieving the highest
score on the academic
exam in the past eight years.
Brugler, Deavers and Prynn
were awarded Top Squadron
Members. Diangi was
presented as the Top Flight
Member. Deavers and Prynn
also earned First Place Flight
Drill Competitors. Hauschild
took home the Field Training
Exercise Award. Lastly,
Lenburg, Zambrano, Lutz
and Thompson were honored
with the Escape and Evasion
Top Survival Rate.
“Our cadets did an incredible
job representing Lincoln-
Way,” Schliffka said. “It was
our first time to attend this
particular Leadership School,
and it is considered to be one
of the most highly structured
and disciplined course available
to cadets in the Midwest.
They were all personally selected
to attend and did not
disappoint in their determination
to excel.”
Lenberg said she took
away a lot from the weeklong
program.
“Ohio Valley Leadership
School was a rigorous experience
that tested everyone’s
physical, mental, and emotional
strength, to a point that
most high schoolers probably
have not undergone before,”
Lenberg said. “It forced us
to face our fears and misgivings,
and ultimately taught
us how leaders act and think.
And although it was incredibly,
unbelievably difficult, it
was one of the most influential
weeks of my life, both in
teaching me about my own
strength, as well the strength
of relying on my peers. I am
very glad to have pushed
through it.”

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.

most in that first game and

Weakness quickly turned
to strength.
“I don’t really think it
matters who is behind us,”
McFarland said. “We have a
strong, tight-knit group unit,
and we trust everyone on the
line to do their job. We’ll get
the job done, and we know
we can’t run it for them. We
can just help them find where
to run, and we think we’ll do
the right thing and get the job
done.”
Athlete of the Week
10 Questions
with Ryan Robbins
Ryan Robbins is a senior
linebacker for the Lincoln-
Way West football team.
How did you get into
football?
My brother actually
played before me. He just
kind of paved the way for
me. He made me want to
play the game, as well as my
dad [Ted Robbins] being the
athletic director here. I was
around sports all the time.
What’s the best part
about the sport?
Honestly, it’s the group
of guys. You spend all summer,
you spend all the time
in the offseason, in the
weight room, you create a
bond that’s like nothing else
you’re going to find.
You played running
back last year. Would
you rather be in the
backfield or be a
linebacker?
I like linebacker. I like delivering
the hits instead of
getting them.
What’s the biggest
lesson you’ve learned
from coach Dave Ernst?
He’s really big on the
whole toughness factor, not
only in football but in life.
Take every day with your
best effort and not going
back to anything. That’s
probably the biggest thing
he’s taught us these whole
four years.
If you won the lottery,
what’s the first thing
you’d buy?
I’d probably buy myself a
nice new car. I’d go with a
Nissan GTR.
What’s something most
people don’t know
about you?
Most people know everything
about me, but I spend
probably 98 percent of my
life at Lincoln-Way West
High School.
Do you have any
pregame superstitions?
I always put on my right
shoe first. I’ve always done
it.
What are you going to
miss about West being
your last year here?
James Sanchez/22nd century
media
I’ll miss everything. I’ve
known these coaches forever.
My brother coming here
and my sister - I’ve been
around the programs all my
life. So, developing relationships,
I’m definitely going
to miss that. I grew up here,
so it’s going to be sad leaving
these guys and leaving
coach Ernst and the opportunities
he’s given me. I’m
very grateful for him.
What would your perfect
post-game meal be?
I’m always a big peanut
butter cracker guy. Peanut
butter and jelly, too. Peanut
butter all the time.
If you could be anyone
for a day, who would
you be?
I’d probably be Spider-
Man. Just his athleticism and
his “spidey sense.” That’d
be pretty cool.

Skill positions to keep Titans in contention
Tim Carroll, Sports Editor
Tinley Park football
reached new heights in
2015. The Titans made a
quarterfinal playoff appearance,
going 9-3 during the
regular season and playoffs
combined, en route to their
best season in nearly 30
years.
With new pieces in place
in 2016 — the Titans had
only five returning starters
— Tinley Park finished the
regular season 4-5.
“We started fast last year,
and then we kind of lost a
couple tough games and
never really got back into
finishing games and winning,”
Tinley Park coach
Nick Johnston said.
Now, there is hope for a
return to the playoffs, with
key cogs in the offense
making their return to the
Titans.
“The strength of the team
is definitely our skill has
returned,” Johnston said.
“Our offensive skill has all
returned from a year ago
— our quarterback, our
running back, our receivers
are primarily all back.
So, they have to be the unit
that makes plays down the
clutch. That’s definitely
been a strength from the
summer until now.”
Senior quarterback Ryan
Zientara, who gained lots
of experience as the starter
in 2016, will find himself in
the backfield with another
talented returning starter in
running back Elijah Webster.
Senior receivers Justin
Taylor, David Morgan and
Joel Zackavec will also provide
stability for Zientara
on the perimeter of the offense.
The defensive side of the
ball had a little more attrition
coming into 2017, but
standout returners include
senior defensive lineman

linebacker Jose Marban,
who earned experience
on the defense in 2016 as
a sophomore and may be
one of the keys to Tinley’s
success as the most experienced
player on the second
level of the defense.
With many returners on
offense and a couple defensive
returners in the front
seven, Johnston said he
thinks the team can start as
fast as it did in 2016. It just
needs to continue that pace
throughout the rest of the
year.
“We need to start fast
again, like we did last year,
but when we get to the middle
part of the year, we’ve
got to win games in conference,”
Johnston said.
Saluting an alumnus
Wins and losses are the
mark by which a football
team is judged. But the Tinley
Park football team may
have a more important priority
this season: the Tim
Jones game.

officer, was shot and

park alumnus and former
Titan football player, Jones
will be honored during
Tinley Park’s second game
against Rich East at 7 p.m.
Sept. 1.
“We dedicated and committed
a lot of time for him
and his fundraiser and the
foundation,” Johnston said. “
... We’re having our Salute to
Blue Night [Sept. 1]. So, any
servicemen [and] policemen
will be honored at the game,
and Tim Jones will be there,
too. So, that’ll be a big game
for him and our players and
our community.”

Who is your coaching hero?
Well, growing up, it was my dad, because I
was around him when he coached and taught. He
was a longtime coach and teacher in the district.
And then, through [Tinley Park], it would definitely
be coach [Lou] Narish, who was the longtime
coach here. When I got here, he mentored
me, as well.
Which phase of football is your specialty?
I’ve coached all sides. I’ve coached offense,
defense and special teams. I like to think of myself
as someone that can coach any position and
be able to run with it, so definitely all of them.
What has been a favorite moment during your
coaching career?
Favorite moment would be winning the second-round
game at Glenbard [in 2015] and moving
on to the third round, the quarterfinals, and
getting Tinley Park in some uncharted territory
— to where only one team has been — and seeing
the overall team and community come together
for support.

Andrew looks for big leap forward
Second-year coach,
returning starters have
things looking up
Randy Whalen
Freelance Reporter
On the surface, it might have
seemed like one victory in an otherwise
winless season.
But to the Andrew football team,
last year’s season-ending 17-6 win
over sister school Stagg symbolized
a new beginning — one the
Thunderbolts plan to take into this
season, as they continue to improve
in the second season under
coach Adam Lewandowski.
“I’m really excited,” Lewandowski
said of the upcoming season.
“I’m excited, because the guys
that are returning know the expectations.
We don’t have to work on
those anymore. We can focus on
getting better as athletes. We know
what it takes to get better on the
football field.”
The T-Bolts certainly plan to better
last year’s 1-8 record. Before
last season, the previous time they
were 1-8 was 1985. But a program
turnaround began with four wins
the next season. By 1988, Andrew
was in the playoffs for the first
time ever and qualified a total of 17
times in the next 26 seasons.
Currently, there has been a threeyear
playoff drought. While the T-
Bolts are not guaranteeing a playoff
berth this year, they do think
they will be much better.
“One of the biggest things is we’re
back for another year with coach
Lew,” senior quarterback Jack Condon
said of the second season under
Lewandowski. “Our ability is going
to start showing on the field.”
Condon, who is one of four returning
offensive starters, said he
thinks everything was set in motion
by that first win in the final game
last season.
“After going through the season
with eight straight losses, that win
showed what we could do,” Condon
said. “Now, we are going into
Friday nights as hard as we can.
Everyone is on the same page, and
we know what to do to succeed.”
In addition to Condon — who
Tim Carroll/22nd Century Media
was a wide receiver last year — the
other returning offensive senior
starters are offensive lineman Mike
DeHaan, Cole Griffin at running
back and Austin O’Connor on the
offensive line.
DeHaan will play both ways, as
he will play defensive end, as well.
Other returning defensive starters
include linebackers Ameer Aqel,
Josh Dyke and Tommy Piekarz, as
well as 6-foot-4, 275-pound defensive
lineman Adam Jumah.
“It was important, as it started
our streak off going into this year,”
Piekarz said of last year’s seasonending
victory and how it will affect
returning players. “It’s something
to build off of.”
Piekarz, who enters his third varsity
season at middle linebacker
and has been through two head
coaches, said he thinks the team
will keep building.
“Last year was [Lewandowski’s]
first year, and everything was new,”
he said. “Adjusting to everything
was all very new. But now, we’re
ready. We just have to keep working
hard and getting it done. We’re
really looking to get some more
wins. I know we will be better.”
Something with which Lewandowski
said he is happy is that

What is one team you are you looking forward
to playing?
Thornton, Game 1. Doesn’t matter who it
would be, I’m looking forward to Game 1 the
most.
What has been a favorite moment during your
coaching career?
When we beat Stagg last year and the student
body and the cheerleaders and the team joined
in the school fight song after we won, at the
50-yard line, on our home field, that was my
favorite Andrew football moment.
What is one lesson you want your team to
learn by the end of the season?
Life can be very difficult. It can be very hard
and challenging. Sometimes, it feels real cruel
and unfair. But if you work hard and you are
doing things for the right reason, you can overcome
any adversity in life. Football’s a great
symbol of that, but it’s something that you can
use in life, which is what I love most about it.

five total home contests.
“We have three straight home
games and are very excited about

Porters desirous of another postseason berth, more
Randy Whalen
Freelance Reporter
A year ago, the Lockport
Township football team was
humming a line from an old
AC/DC song.
“Now I’m back in the ring
to take another swing.”
This season, the Porters
hope to be shaking teams
all night long, as they will
be bidding for their second
straight playoff appearance.
With numerous players back
from last year’s team, which
finished 6-4 and made the
team’s first postseason appearance
since 2011, they
have a good shot.
“We were in the playoffs,
we got back in the ring,”
Lockport coach Dan Starkey
said. “We got punched in
the face [in a 45-0 loss to St.
Charles East in the opening
round of the Class 8A playoffs]
there, but the kids want
to be back in that game and
go beyond.”
Starkey enters his fourth
year, so this season’s seniors
have been in Starkey’s program
the whole time.
“The first couple of years,
we were going through
growing pains,” Starkey
said. “But now ... we have
41 seniors on the team this
season. Not that many of
them were starters, but a lot
of them paid their dues and
will be ready.”
One of those players is
Haleem Ajibola.
“I’m ready,” he said. “I
certainly feel ready. All of
us seniors have been playing
together for four years. Our
defensive guys have been
playing together since freshman
year, and that’s only going
to help us.”
A couple of other seniors
hoping to make big contributions
are defensive backs
Niko Malevitis and Jon Savage,
along with seniors Jake
Pietryk at defensive end and
Brittany Kapa/22nd Century media
Zach Reese at defensive
back.
The Porters defense was
stellar for much of last season,
holding teams to 16
points or fewer on six occasions,
including three times
to fewer than 10 points and
a shutout over Stagg.
On offense, Lockport has
six returning starters. They
are seniors Austin Hoffman
at fullback/tight end, Tavares
Moore at running back,
Tommy Mulhall at offensive
line, Sam Pierson at fullback
and Alek Trafton on the offensive
line.
Junior quarterback Jake
Karli started the Porters’
last two games in 2016
when then-senior Ben Davis
missed the last three weeks
due to illness.
“The experience really
helps,” Karli said. “It gives
me that different mental advantage,
and I’ll come out
ready.”
While Karli looks forward
to the challenges of the season,
he will have a couple
new senior targets in receivers
Tim Houlihan and Nick
Ward.
Someone else who got
experience at the end of last
year was kicker/punter Ryan
Barth. The junior had those
duties at the end of last season
when Davis was out.
A key to last season’s
playoff push was the Porters
getting off to a good start.
They opened 3-0, which included
a pair of two-point
victories over South Elgin
and Lincoln-Way Central.
While those teams are on the
schedule again this season,

What is your favorite play to run?
We like to run the football a lot of different
ways. I really believe good football teams can
run the football and they can stop the run. I
would say my favorite football play is [an] iso.
Which phase of football is your speciality?
I’d say my speciality in football is defense and
special teams. I played linebacker in college at
Illinois State, and I played on a lot of special
teams. Those are the areas I love coaching and
that I have a passion for. Really, the special teams
and coaching linebackers, to make it a little more
narrow.
What is the team’s motto?
A team motto is “refuse to lose.” It comes
from a saying, “I am the champion, and I refuse
to lose.” It’s just something that we chant after a
game. We want to see our kids play with a nevergive-up
attitude, and it’s just part of the philosophy.

pertinent to success, the
end of the schedule will be
huge this fall. The final three
games are against Lincoln-
Way East, Wheaton-Warrenville
South and Bradley-

of two SouthWest Suburban
Conference teams that went
undefeated last season.
The matchup with Wheaton-Warrenville
South is an
interesting one, as it has a
personal tie for Lockport’s
coach.

“I taught and coached
at Wheaton-Warrenville
South from 1994-2000,”
Starkey said. “I coached
alongside their coach, Ron
Muhitch, at that time. He
was one of my mentors
and is now the head coach
[since 2002]. Plus, there’s a
playoff history with them.
So, it’s going to be great
to have them here for a
game.”
As has been the case
since Starkey took over,
there is a theme to this season.
This year, it is “Savage
SZN,” with the SZN pronounced
like “season.”
“The kids wanted that,”
Starkey said. “It means we
want to play with a lot of
pride and be ready every
week. We want to build
quality depth and know we
have multiple players to
count on. We want to build
trust, chemistry and teamwork;
be champions on and
off the field.

Sandburg’s young bunch keeps expectations high
Tim Carroll, Sports Editor
Sandburg coach Scott Peters
still has high expectations.
In 2016, Peters’ first year
as the coach at Sandburg, he
knew the team was going to
be the underdog in most of
its games. The Eagles finished
the season 4-5.
But his plan for the Sandburg
football program remains
a lofty one.
“Our goal ... is eventually
[to] get it to a point where
we’re consistently a quarterfinal
team,” Peters said.
“I feel like once that starts
to happen, then you’re going
to have a year where you
breakthrough.”
Peters acknowledged that
Sandburg is not at that level
just yet. For the short term,
though, Peters just wants his
team to continue improving.
“We won a couple games
at the end of the year, which
I thought helps us building
some momentum into this
year,” he said. “[We] just
focus on the now, get better
every day. At the end of the
year, if we do that, we’ll be
the best team we can possibly
be.”
In an attempt to prepare
his team for a high school
football season, Peters and
his staff have been emphasizing
the ground game, as
well as its counterpart.
“The thing that we always
try to stress is ability to run
the football and stop the run,”
Peters said. “Those are things
that we try to hang our hat on
as a coaching staff and we
preach to our players.”
That may be a challenge
for the Eagles, as the bulk
of the returners on both offense
and defense are on the
perimeter or in the backfield.
“We have a lot of guys
coming back on the back half
of our defense,” Peters said.
“We have linebackers returning;
we have [defensive
backs] returning. We only

have one lineman returning.
So, obviously our kids feel
good with [defending] the
passing game. That’s going
to be a strength for us.”
Cornerback Ricky Kwak,
as well as safeties Jaimie Marines
and Anthony Hansler,
make their returns to the
team. Linebackers Alex
Hirschfield, Colin Dominski
and Mike Stevens also are
returning, along with defensive
end Moe Jumah.
Even with new starters on
the interior of the defensive
line, Peters, who calls the
defense, said he has the ability
to give opposing offenses
different looks.
“We have the ability to
move from a [three-man]
front to a four front — and
even a five, if we need to —
based on the formations we
get,” Peters said. “The techniques
don’t change a lot for
the kids, [but] it looks different
to the offense, [and] obviously
they’re going to have to
block things differently.”
Tim Carroll/22nd Century Media
On the other side of the
ball, receivers Nick Shelton
and John Murphy come back
to provide a spark on the
outside, while Alex Lunak
and Joe Boyce figure to bolster
the offensive line.
Offensive coordinator
Kevin Fahey said he has
liked what he has seen from
his team to enter the season.
“We’re young,” he said.
“But we’ve had a great
summer, a great preseason.
The expectations haven’t
changed from the year before.
We’re looking like we
should have a lot of success.”
While junior quarterback
Ben Starcevich may experience
some growing pains in
his first season at the helm
of the offense, he also will
have a group of experienced
receivers at his disposal in
Shelton, Murphy and fellow
senior Will Davis. Fahey
said Starcevich has another
tool working in his favor.
“He’s incredibly intelligent,”
Fahey said. “He picks
up things very quickly —
ideas, schemes, whatever we
throw at him.
“When you have a quarterback
like that, you feel
like you can game plan for
almost any team and execute
that game plan.”
Starcevich will be joined
in the offensive backfield by
another junior, running back
Andrew Schab.
“He has had a tremendous,
tremendous offseason,” Fahey
said of his featured back.
“He’s fast, [and] he’s low to
the ground.
“We feel extremely glad

What is your favorite play to run?
Something that works. You know, that’s a great
question. I mean, as a defensive guy, we’re a fundamental-type
team. So, for me, there’s nothing
better than a solid, fundamental play that’s successful.
What is your Game Day tradition?
One of the cool traditions that we do here before

walk down the drive, and the drumline [and]
band are leading us out. The kids get pretty
pumped. They were stretching right before that,
and the drummers are going crazy in the hallway.
They’re playing stuff, and our kids love it. Our
band director does an awesome job with those
kids. So, that’s one of the traditions that we have
since I started here that the kids love. I think the
band really likes it; they feel like they’re a part
of it.

East plans to continue winning tradition in 2017
Jon DePaolis
Freelance Reporter
In an ever-changing world,
there are only a few things on
which anyone can count: death,
taxes and Lincoln-Way East making
the playoffs.
In the 16 years of the school’s
existence, East has amassed a
151-38 record and qualified for
the postseason every single year.
Along the way, the Griffins have
won a state title and finished second.
Last year, they were ousted in
the Class 8A quarterfinals by the
eventual state champion, Maine
South, thanks to a last-second
field goal.
But heading into 2017, East is
back with depth and some new,
game-changing talents.
On offense, the Griffins will be
led by senior quarterback Brendan
Morrissey. If the name looks familiar,
that is because Morrissey
was a fixture on last year’s team as
one of the three running backs the
Griffins unleashed on opponents.
“He was a quarterback his
whole life except for last year,”
coach Rob Zvonar said. “He’s
moved back [to quarterback] this
year and been the leader of our
offense. In some respects, he’s
arguably the fastest — pound for
pound — and strongest, smartest
kid on the team. That’s a nice
kid to have taking the ball every
time.”
While the Griffins had to say
goodbye to longtime varsity running
back Nigel Muhammad in
2016, they will have some incredible
options at the position this
year. Among the crowded backfield
are senior Ryan Scianna, who
got lots of playing time on last
year’s team; senior Chris Wilder;
junior Jordan Corbett; and sophomore
A.J. Henning, a dynamic
talent who was already offered a
scholarship by the University of
Illinois Urbana-Champaign earlier
this summer.
“We’re going to put [Henning] all
over the place — slot, tailback, wherever
we can get some touches for
him,” Zvonar said. “We knew what
we had with him. He went through
the freshman and sophomore levels
like no one we’ve ever seen before.”
The road ahead
• Week 1 — hosts Crete-Monee,
7 p.m. Aug. 25

• Week 9 — at Bolingbrook, 7

At tight end, senior Turner
Pallissard is back for another year
on varsity. He is joined by fellow
tight end and senior Jack Cohrs.
“It allows us to play a two tight
end set sometimes,” Zvonar said.
“Turner is going to be a mismatch
for a lot of teams.”
At wide receiver, East will rely
on seniors Mason Keenan, Shane
Pedersen and Evan McDermed,
and juniors Josh Ohiku and Jackson
Ritter.
Jake Buhe, a senior and threeyear
starter, is slated to anchor the
offensive line. He will be joined
by juniors Dane Eggert and Anthony
Sottosanto, who both got
time on the line last season. Also
joining the ranks are senior guard
Troy White and senior center Lucas
Michaels.
Dominic Dzioban, a sophomore,
also returns as the starting
varsity kicker.
On defense, East is returning
defensive end Devin O’Rourke, a
senior who committed in March to
play at Northwestern University.
“When you have not just an All-
Stater but an All-American there,
he’s a special kid to have,” Zvonar
said.
And in case teams try to run
away from O’Rourke, Zvonar said
returning seniors Ben Ravetto,
Sam Broda and Jaden Hacha will
be there to clamp down the attack.
He also pointed to juniors Dylan
Photo submitted
Shelton, Mick Stewart and Jeremiah
Dawson as providing great
depth on the line.
At linebacker, Zvonar said senior
John Christensen will move
from the outside to the inside
position. Declan Carr, a senior,
emerged this summer at the strong
side, linebacker position.
At defensive back, Zvonar said
seniors Kwaku Appiah (corner),
Dugan Bolsoni (corner), Max Cesario
(safety), Brendan Gallagher
and Shea McGivern, and junior
Mike Manning are expected to
lead the way.
Heading into the season, the
Griffins are scheduled to play
six teams who had five or more
wins last year. In Week 1, they
will play Crete-Monee (8-3 last
season).
“They do a tremendous job, and
they are extremely dangerous,”
Zvonar said of Crete-Monee.
“We’re going to have to be ready
off the bat, or they are going to
come over here and knock us off.
Rob Zvonar
We’re excited about the challenge.”
Zvonar said the team has put in
the work this offseason, and he is
excited to see the Griffins play.
Team: Lincoln-Way East
Years coached for the team: 16
Last regular season record: 7-2
What is your favorite play to run?
I coach defense, so my favorite play is a
sack. Offensively, I think we like to be a physical
team, so [we like to run] off-tackle power.
What phase of football is your speciality?
Whether it’s my specialty or not, I’ve pretty
much always been and have coached linebacker.
It’s a position I enjoy the most and know the
best. I’ve been fortunate enough to have some
great [linebackers] at Lincoln-Way East.
What is a team motto?
I think a slogan or a motto that we’ve always
had in our program was, we talk about “one
heartbeat” and then “winning with character.”
“One heartbeat” just symbolizes doing things
with unity, doing things as a football family,
doing them together and have each other’s
back. “Winning with integrity” and “winning
with character” has always been a motto of
ours. We want to try our very best to do things
the right way and not take shortcuts.

LW Central looks to experience, leadership to guide state-bound hopes
Jason Maholy
Freelance Reporter
By most standards, the
Lincoln-Way Central football
program had an outstanding
season in 2016.
The Knights finished 7-4,
scored a season-defining
victory over perennial Class
8A powerhouse Bolingbrook
and advanced to the second
round of the playoffs for the
first time in 12 years.
But to the guys in the
locker room, the campaign
ended not only prematurely
but also unexpectedly. No
one would call the season
disappointing, but in the
end the youths who shed
their blood, sweat and tears
to bring Central back to relevance
failed to live up to
their own expectations.
They knew the program’s
recent history had been average,
at best, and their goal
was not merely to rise above
mediocrity; it was to bring
home a state title.
Now, with the taste of success
still fresh on their lips
from a year ago, and several
core players returning, thirdyear
coach Jeremy Cordell’s
squad has boldly declared
2017 “Mission NIU.”
The Knights are poised
and ready, chomping at the
bit to build on what they accomplished
last season. That
has been the collective state
of mind since their secondround
playoff loss to Rolling
Meadows last October.
“From the moment we
lost, they’ve wanted to get
back to work,” Cordell said.
“They wanted to get back at
it, and I mean right away.”
Gone from last year’s
offense are fullback Nico
Muto, quarterback Hunter
Campbell, and standout offensive
linemen Eric Hypke
and Joe Dunlap.
The Knights return seven
starters: fullback Mike Morgan;
dynamic playmaker
Matt Pollack; wide receiver

Pollack, who lines up at
running back, gained more
than 1,500 yards from scrimmage
last season during his
breakout junior year.
“He’s a special athlete,”
Cordell said of Pollack.
“He’s a hard worker, loves
the game. And whatever you
need him to do, he’ll do it.”
Pollack said last year’s
team did not expect to lose
in the second round of the
playoffs, and the disappointment
has motivated them
even more heading into the
2017 season.
“I think it made us very
hungry, knowing that last
year we [were eliminated]
when we should have kept
going,” Pollack said. “We’ve
got a lot of returning guys, so
we have a lot of confidence
and a lot of experience that I
think will help us a lot.
“We’re going to score a lot
Jason Maholy/22nd Century Media
of points with a lot of different
players.”
Several players who saw
significant time on the field
and filled key roles in 2016
— including running backs
Mike Gossage and Zach
Stoklosa — are expected to
contribute to the cause. Senior
center Rian Nealon, and
junior guards Drew Parrish
and Lucas Korte will see
time in the trenches.
Sam Pipiras will take over
under center. The key for the
Knights will be his leadership
and making good decisions.
“He’s tall, he’s long, has
a strong arm and throws
the ball well,” Cordell said.
“With him it’s just, ‘Now,
you’re the guy,’ which happens
at every school. Maybe
as a junior you didn’t get the
reps and now you’re the guy,
and he’s worked very hard in
the offseason to put himself
in position to succeed.”
Pipiras said he is excited
about taking the reins of a
potentially high-powered offense.
“The talent on our team,
the weapons we have, we
have so many options that it
takes the pressure off me,”
he said. “The talents all compliment
each other, it’s not a
one-man show.”
Central also will field an
experienced and talented
prevention corps, led by
senior linebackers Nick
DeGregorio and Matt Granberry,
and junior safety Gabe
Meyers. Three other starting
linebackers from last year’s
team will return. The front
three will be new, but senior
defensive ends Andrew Folgers
and Mark O’Reilly saw

What is your favorite play to run?
Just to run the ball. We like running the
ball. Just run the ball.
Which phase of football is your specialty?
I was a varsity defensive coordinator for
11 years. I love the game planning behind
it. I love just the nature of it, the attack style
of it.
What is one team you are you looking
forward to playing?
I know this is going to sound very cliché,
but we’re going to take one game at a time.
Our whole program motto is being 1-0, so
we’re just going to approach Week 1, and

Cordell said he believes
the team’s experience will
be a major factor in the
Knights’ favor.
“We’re a year older, a year
smarter, and we’re better
now because we have these
guys who have gone through
that, and we can really fine
tune the smaller things instead
of trying to learn on the
fly,” he said. “We’ve been
able to focus on the details,
rather than the big picture.”

Experienced defense pairs with dynamic offense for Warriors
James Sanchez, Editor
Coaching words of wisdom
like “finish strong” or
“play all 48 minutes” go
without saying for Lincoln-
Way West’s returning varsity
members.
Having lived through the
tribulations of last season’s
disappointing second half is
enough of a reminder.
In its first season in Class
7A, West started the year by
winning four straight before
finishing the regular season
1-4 — two of those losses
given up late in games.
From what was a possibility
of a high seed and hosting its
own playoff game at midseason
turned into the Warriors
being on the bubble with a
5-4 record entering the playoffs.
They barely made the
round of 32.
Their reward? A date with
eventual state champion
East St. Louis.
Last fall was a learning
experience, to say the least,
and now the Warriors want
to make sure it does not happen
again.
“[Last year] definitely
gave us a lot of motivation
coming into the offseason,”
senior linebacker Ryan Robbins
said. “We started off
this summer knowing what
we wanted to do. Starting
4-0 was good, but we want
that good season overall.”
Last year was West’s first
time as a bubble team, after
comfortably making the
playoffs six straight years
prior with at least seven
wins or more. It will have to
bounce back in 2017 without
any returning full-time starters
on offense, as well as
losing the school’s all-time
sacks leader, Trey Telez, to
graduation.
Several returners made
spot starts, including new
quarterback Anthony Senerchia.
He filled in Week 4
against Stagg and threw a
game-winning touchdown
with less than 2 minutes and
30 seconds left, when it was
deadlocked at 0-0 up to that
point.
“It definitely gave me a
feel of what the varsity level
was about,” Senerchia said.
“It helped me progress, because
it kind of gave me a
jump-start.”
The senior quarterback
will lead an offense unlike it
has had in the past. No more
is a team tailored by a stout
ground attack that bludgeons
defenses behind 270-plus
pound, All-State linemen
Justin Witt and Bryan Brokop,
and All-State Special
Mention Nate Henry, which
led the team to the Class
5A championship game two
years ago.
With a more undersized
offensive line, speed and
athleticism at the skill positions,
and Senerchia being an
accurate pocket passer, head
coach Dave Ernst will tweak
his offense but maintain the
physicality for which West is
known.
“We have more running
backs, more receivers than
we’ve had in the past, and
they have a high skill level,
so we’re going to be a little
different in that regard,”
Ernst said.
Juniors Donte Barber, Anthony
Izzarelli and sophomore
Caleb Marconi will all
share time in the backfield.
Senior Alex Croft made big
strides from last season and
will pioneer the pass catchers,
which include tight end
Evan Weygandt, who grew
4 inches and gained roughly
20 pounds from a year ago.
Junior Nate Mahoney will
lead the offensive line. He
started five games before
suffering a season-ending
injury.
To back up the developing
offense, Ernst moved offensive
contributors Kevin Davis
and Robbins on the other
side to linebacker to fill

Telez’s little brother
Jordan returns for edgerushing
duties, along with
Nick Skentzos, who earned
significant time on the interior
line.
Fortunately, in the back
end, all of the secondary
is returning, most notably
three-year starters Matt
Murphy and Jake Price, to
go along with Anthony Lullo
and Hunter Valentine.
It will be a veteran-led
defense, compared to the
offense, but Robbins said
the young players’ presence
is incomparable to previous
seasons.
“They’re hungry; they
want to play; and they bring
an energy that’s kind of unequal
to anything we’ve ever
had before,” he said.
Dave Ernst
Team: Lincoln-Way West High School
Years coaching the team: 4
2016 regular season record: 5-4
What is your favorite play to run?
My favorite play is power. I just think that it’s everything
football is supposed to be. It’s a physically
tough play. It’s violent and it’s physical. It’s a tough
play; it’s a man’s play. It’s an old-school play, and I
think it’s everything football should be.
What is one team you are looking forward to
playing?
I just want to get the season started, really. I know
we open up at Proviso West, and that’s really the one
I’m looking forward to and to just get the season
started and get the games going.
What is a team motto?
Our goal every season — I think we’re a little different
than a lot of people — is to play 14 and win
the last [game]. Which puts you in the state championship
game. Two years ago, we were fortunate
enough to get to the state championship game. We
lost, so we haven’t achieved that goal yet, but it’s
something we strive to do every year.

Ernst agreed, noting this
summer’s two-a-days were
the most fun he’s had in a long
time. The hope is that these
positive signs will not elicit
just a fast start but seasonlong
success this time around.
“We didn’t have one issue
the whole time,” Ernst said of
the summer. “They all work
hard; they all do whatever’s
asked of them; they’re all
great kids. We got better every
day. It was a lot of fun.”

Providence eager to take on tough schedule
Chris Walker, Freelance Reporter
Providence Catholic is to open the season by
making the long drive down Interstate 55 to face
defending Class 7A champion East St. Louis.
The following week, the Celtics are to host St.
John Vianney from Missouri, which also won a
state title a season ago.
Then, they jump right into the Chicago Catholic
Conference Blue Division, including a game
against Class 8A runner-up Loyola Academy in
Week 8.
It is never easy for the Celtics, but as 10-time
state champions themselves, they would have it no
other way — although they are as antsy as ever to
get back to the playoffs after falling short the past
two seasons.
“Those first two teams being state champs are
only going to make us better, but they put us in
almost a situation that they’re must-win games,”
Celtics coach Mark Coglianese said. “Heading to
St. Louis will be a tough challenge, but if we can
get a big win, that could catapult us to big things
down the road.”
Tough losses to St. Rita and Fenwick ended up
crushing Providence’s hopes of making the playoffs
in 2016, but one of its biggest positives was
how it finished. The Celtics beat Mt. Carmel in
Week 9 to keep the Caravan out of the playoffs for
the first time since 1985.
“That was a huge momentum swing, and we
want to keep the intensity from that game all season,”
senior De’Shon Gavin said. “We’re not taking
anything for granted, especially us seniors. The
seniors are looking really good and poised after a
great summer and we’re ready to finish it, and our
juniors and some sophomores have been impressive.”
Providence’s roster is smaller than it has been the
past, which is one of the team’s biggest concerns.
“They key is staying healthy, because we’re not
real deep,” Coglianese said. “We have a lot of quality
players, but the numbers are low so we can’t
afford to lose many guys. Lots of guys are going
to see both sides of the ball. ... It’s something we
have to do.”
An experienced offensive line will look to provide
sufficient time and blocking for an offense that
likely will rotate three or four guys in the backfield.

I would say Tom Landry. He was always

What is your favorite play to run?
I guess being a defensive coach — I was a
defensive coordinator for many years — so
I would say multiple blitzes. Trying to catch
the offense in something that maybe they
haven’t seen or prepared for.
What is a favorite moment during your
coaching career?
I guess there are a couple. When I first

second one would be winning a state championship
