New Lenox Village Board
Trustees approve hike in sales tax
Megann Horstead
Freelance Reporter
To ensure the Village of
New Lenox’s ability to secure
funding to help offset
the cost for infrastructure
improvement projects, officials
decided Aug. 28 to
adopt an ordinance increasing
the home rule sales tax.
In a pair of unanimous
decisions, trustees agreed
to convey a 0.5 percent increase
to the Village’s home
rule sales tax thereby establishing
a new rate at 2 percent
effective Jan. 1
Village Administrator
Kurt Carroll said the Village
views the actions taken by
the trustees as being “more
advantageous” to residents
and business owners.
“There were discussions
of how we would fund our
infrastructure improvement
projects,” he said of the alternatives
explored. “The
board favored [the home rule
sales tax increase] because it
was more advantageous to
our residents and businesses
than the alternatives.”
The Village intends to use
the dollars generated by the
home rule sales tax to help
pay for projects valued approximately
at $80 million
to address wastewater treatment,
water mains on Route
30 and Cedar Road, and access
to Lake Michigan water.
Carroll said the Village
has initiated efforts to fund
a part of these projects and
added officials hope to lessen
the impact imposed on
Round it up
A brief recap of action and discussion from the Aug. 28
meeting of the Village Board of Trustees:
• Trustees approved a site plan and the setting of
surety for Ridgeway Gas Station at the northwest
corner of Laraway and Cedar roads.
• The board pulled from the agenda a measure
authorizing an amendment to a purchasing contract
with CVS Pharmacy.
• Officials agreed to adopt an ordinance creating
a Class D4 liquor license to help advance plans
presented to the Village to operate a craft brewery
called Hickory Creek Brewing Company.
residents and business owners
by imposing an increased
rate.
Municipalities are typically
allowed to impose a
1-percent sales tax. Under
home rule, New Lenox is afforded
the ability to extend
another sales tax.
New Lenox received
community support in 2008
when officials passed a referendum
to become a home
rule municipality. That measure
gives the Village powers
in governing that otherwise
are not defined by state
statutes. The extent to which
New Lenox can extend its
taxation authority, for example,
serves as one way that
officials can put to use its
added options in governing.
In 2010, the Village presented
a plan to the board to
implement a home rule sales
tax; it was approved. New
Lenox started by assessing a
1-percent sales tax and subsequently
increased the rate
by 0.5 percent twice in 2011.
State law allows the Village
to establish changes to
its home rule sales tax, so
long as it goes into effect on
July 1 or Jan. 1.
Now, in 2017, trustees
took action on the Village’s
third ordinance regulating
its home rule sales tax by
approving a 0.5 percent increase.
Carroll referenced a study
that showed 80 percent of
sales tax generated comes
from people outside of the
Village’s borders and said
it’s clear that our residents
will benefit from such a
measure.
The matter of adopting an
ordinance to increase the rate
received no discussion at the
board’s regular meeting.
Carroll said the Village
needed to inform the state
of its intent to increase the
home rule sales tax by Oct.
1.
“The board had to approve
it for this to take effect,” he
said.

Del Toro caps off weekend in hometown with parade
Jason Maholy
Freelance Reporter
Labor Day weekend was
a special few days for Air
Force Master Sgt. Israel Del
Toro.
The celebrated serviceman
– who less than two
months ago received the Pat
Tillman Award for Service
at the 2017 ESPY Awards
– returned last weekend to
his old stomping grounds of
New Lenox to much fanfare.
Del Toro kicked off the holiday
weekend Friday, Sept.
1 by serving as an honorary
captain at Providence Catholic’s
home-opening football
game, where he stepped on
the field on which he once
played for the first time since
graduating in 1993.
“It was just an amazing
feeling,” said Del Toro, who
spent much of his youth in the
Home of Proud Americans.
The following night, he attended
the Barenaked Ladies
concert on the Village Commons,
and was greeted with

Don Boyer, senior state vice commander of the VFW
Department of Illinois and a member of the Harry E.
Anderson VFW Post 9545 in New Lenox, informs Israel Del
Toro he has been granted a life membership in Post 9545.

Commons.
louder cheers than the crowd
gave the Grammy-nominated
band.
“I was like, ‘Whoa,’ there
were people screaming and
yelling,” he said, and added
that New Lenox Mayor Tim
Baldermann joked that he
was going to make the band
jealous.
The celebration of Del Toro
concluded Sunday, Sept. 3,
which Baldermann honored
Del Toro with a parade and
rally. The airman, who was
nearly killed by a roadside
bomb in Afghanistan in 2005
and was told by doctors he
might never walk or breathe
without a respirator, received
the key to the village, the
Stars of American Freedom
award and several other commendations
in front of family,
old friends and some 200
other people who gathered on
the Commons on a sunny and
warm morning.
“For me, it’s been a great
weekend... it’s a great honor,”
Del Toro said at a press
conference prior to Sunday’s
festivities. “I consider this
my hometown; I spent my
teenage years here. Seeing
that my community and the
mayor reached out and wanted
to do something for me
was eye opening and awesome.
It’s just awesome.”
The Del Toro Day program
featured a brief procession
around the Commons’
Ring Road, and guest speakers
from the Military Order
of the Purple Heart Chapter
252 in Tinley Park and Operation
Welcome You Home.
Afterward, the airman hung
around and had photos taken
with attendees.
A life of purpose
Del Toro, known to friends
as D.T., was riding in a Humvee
when disaster struck 12
years ago. He sustained thirddegree
burns on more than 80
percent of his body, lost most
of his fingers and was given
a 15-percent chance to survive.
He spent four months
in a coma, and when he

®
newlenoxpatriot.com news
the New Lenox Patriot | September 7, 2017 | 5
awoke, he thought the life he
had known was over. He has
since undergone more than
100 surgeries.
But through it all, Del Toro
maintained the spirit of the
fighter he had always been.
By the time he was 14 years
old, he lost both his parents
and was forced to help raise
his younger siblings. That
experience, among others,
helped prepare him for what
was to come.
“I’ve always been challenged
in life,” he said.
“Maybe God put all those obstacles
in front of me to help
get me to where I am now.”
Del Toro did walk again,
is breathing just fine on his
own and is once again serving
his country – he is the
first airman to re-enlist after
being granted 100-percent
disability. He is also a Paralympian
who has participated
in the Invictus Games and
the Department of Defense
Warrior Games, and he owns
world records in the shot
put, discus and javelin. He
is the first disabled airman
to be selected for the World
Class Athlete Program.
And while the awards, accolades
and world records are
all meaningful, what matters
most to Del Toro is the effect
his story of perseverance can
have on other people.
“It showed my son and
everyone else you can accomplish
anything as long
as you keep pushing, keep
fighting, find that fire and
stay positive,” he said as to
why, among other reasons,
he re-enlisted when he could
have retired.
After he received the Pat
Tillman Award in July, Del
Toro was bombarded with
direct messages, many from
people who were inspired by
his story. Some of them, he
said, had all but given up on
themselves.
“The ones that were more
meaningful to me were the
people who were inspired
to keep pushing,” he said.
“Some said they were ready
to end their life. I answered
all those. I might not reach
Some of the roughly 200 ceremony attendees, seen here at the Village Commons beyond
Air Force Junior ROTC members, clap for Del Toro.
everyone, but if I reach that
one person who’s down and
out, I do my job. There’s a
reason why God kept me
alive. If it’s my purpose in
life to go out and speak to
help others, so be it.”
Coming home?
The final speaker at Sunday’s
awards presentation
was Del Toro himself, and
he mentioned that when he
does finally retire from the
Air Force – 2020 sounds
good to him, he said – he, his
wife, Carmen, and son, Israel,
may move to New Lenox.
He is currently stationed at
the Air Force Academy in
Colorado Springs.
“The spirit of my town has
always been with me,” he
said, and referenced his time
as a student at Oakview (now
Oster-Oakview) and Providence.
“You make me feel
like I am part of this community
again. And while the
awards and all this is great,
but you guys being out here
for me is even better. As a
wounded service member,
we usually don’t get these
welcome-home celebrations
– we’re in a hospital recovering,
trying to get better – so to
have one, finally, thank you.
It truly means a lot to me.”
Among the attendees was
New Lenox resident Matt
Kelly, who served in the

Tillman Award for Service he received at the 2017 ESPY
Awards earlier this summer.
Army from 1993 to 1997.
Kelly was there with his
wife, Jennifer, and children
Madelyn, 7, and Casey, 5.
“Because of heroes, like
Israel, we get to do our dayto-day
business and get to
enjoy our lives,” Kelly said.
Several of Del Toro’s old
high school pals also came
out to see him, including
Kristin McWilliams, who
brought two of her children
– daughter, Peyton, 10, and
son, Seth, 12 – because she
wanted them to see firsthand
the sacrifice Del Toro
made to the United States.
McWilliams, of Manhattan,
said “Izzy” is much the same
guy he was during his high
school years.
“He was quite the character,
quite the jokester and he
still is,” she said. “And that’s
what I love about him. He
hasn’t lost his sense of humor,
he hasn’t lost who he is
throughout his whole ordeal.
It’s humbling.”

A vendor that manages
parts of Silver Cross Hospital’s
website experienced
a data breach, which in turn
exposed personal information
of its patients.
Multiple news outlets reported
information of nearly
9,000 patients were compromised.
The hospital is currently
notifying the affected
individuals, according to a notice
on the hospital’s website.
The information compromised
is from various
forms completed on the
website. These forms may
have contained home, email
and IP addresses, telephone
numbers, as well as the possibility
of Social Security
numbers, health insurance
numbers and other health
information. Besides patient
information, guarantors or
insurance policy holders of
patients may have their information
exposed, too.
The incident exposed web
forms submitted between
January 2013 through June
14, 2017 — the date the
breach was detected.
A third-party forensic firm
concluded that the vendor’s
security settings reconfigured
when it went through a
software upgrade in November

The New Lenox Patriot to stay free
Staff Report
Thanks to the thousands
of New Lenox residents
who returned request
forms, The New Lenox Patriot
will remain free of
charge.
Because of these diligent
residents, The Patriot
maintained its second-class
mail status from the U.S.
Postal Service. One of the
requirements of the USPS
to retain second-class mail
status is that every three
years more than half the
homes in town sign a card
requesting the publication.
The Patriot’s qualification
for this vaunted status
means that New Lenox residents
will receive their Patriot
on a timely basis and
that the postal costs for The
Patriot have been greatly
reduced, thereby allowing
the paper to remain free.
If you are one of the
residents who has not returned
a request form and
do not want to rely on the
good graces of your neighbors
or have had the delivery
of your paper discontinued,
you can visit
NewLenoxPatriot.com/de
livery and fill out the form
in seconds. If you are unsure
about whether you returned
your card, contact
our circulation department
at (708) 326-9170.
Thank you again for the
excellent participation in
our program to keep The
Patriot free. Even more
good news is that we will
not have to ask you for help
again until 2020, when the
USPS will ask us to repeat
the process.

LWMB Community Night fit for ‘The King’
Laurie Fanelli
Freelance Reporter
Months of team practice
and countless hours of individual
preparation take place
before the talented students
of District 210 even step foot
onto the football field to provide
the music for the big
game. That’s right, it’s marching
band season again and for
the second year in a row approximately
280 musicians
from Lincoln-Way Central,
Lincoln-Way East and Lincoln-Way
West have joined
forces to create cheer-inducing
music as the combined
Lincoln-Way Marching Band.
On Saturday, Aug. 26, the
Lincoln-Way Marching Band
welcomed fans to Lincoln-
Way West for a Community
Night with Elvis – sponsored
by Giordano’s, Culver’s and
Riverside Healthcare – to enjoy
an evening full of free music
including the debut of the
competitive band’s new show,
“Bend, Twist and Turn.” Under
the direction of Christopher
Mroczek, Justin Barnish,
Dr. Bert Johnson and Cary
Ruklic, the band has been rehearsing
for the 2017 season
throughout the summer.
“This is year two and it’s
been a really great start to
the year so far,” said Ruklic.
“We’ve had a couple of parade
performances and this
is our first performance of
our competitive show. The
parents are super excited
about it.”
The night began with the
band playing “The Star-
Spangled Banner” and
sharing two of their parade
songs, “Battle Hymn of the
Republic” and “Born in the
U.S.A.” The group stuck
around to lead the crowd in
a rendition of the Lincoln-
Way alma matter before
leaving the field to prepare
for the debut of the competitive
show.
“The competitive show
definitely showcases special

music and it’s all arranged
for the group,” said Ruklic.
“We have a design team that
goes through and creates the
design concept and an arranger,
who is based out of
California, who does all of
the music arrangements.”
A variety of interesting and
varied pieces – including
“Toward the Splendid City”
by Richard Danielpour, “The
Carnival Is Over” by Dead
Can Dance, the “3rd Movement”
of Michael Torke’s
Saxophone Concerto and
“Joyride” by Michael Markowski
– were highlighted
throughout the performance.
2017 marks the second
year of the combined Lincoln-Way
Marching Band
as well as the second opportunity
to host a community
night to raise funds for
supplies, equipment, meals,
travel and instrument repairs
for the band. Sponsorship
Director, Kim Hansen,
and LWC Music Boosters
President, Karen Bussean,
brought something new to
the program this year with
Nick Miller’s “Keeping the
King Alive” Elvis Presley
tribute show.
“Elvis is new this year,”
Hansen said. “We were looking
for something to entertain
the crowd and Elvis is a
classic.”
Miller used his time to
perform some of Presley’s
biggest hits from the 1970s
era as well as early favorites.
“I was in band when I was
in high school, so this setting
brings back a lot of memories,”
he said. “It’s fun.”
The bleachers at Lincoln-
Way West were lined with
families eager to witness the
many talents of the young
musicians.
“We’ve seen a few rehearsals
and a couple of her
parades, but this is the first
football-ish thing,” said New
Lenox resident Robert Lask,
whose daughter Amanda is a
freshman flutist at Central.
“It’s very exciting,” added
his wife Sandra.
Cindy Krawulski of New
Lenox was also eager to see
her daughter, Kylie, play
clarinet during the show.
“I’m excited to see how
the new show as evolved
and changed and become

even more exciting and colorful,”
she said. “We want
the whole community to get
excited about it.”
As fans come out to support
local sports teams, the
music boosters hope that
families, friends and neighbors
will also continue to
cheer on the marching band.
“We encourage everyone
to be supportive and support
area music,” said Bussean.
“That’s the biggest thing.
We need the parents – and
the community members –
to support what these kids
are doing.”

New Lenox vendor to be a part of Mokena health fair
Amanda Del Buono
Freelance Reporter
For many, living a healthier
lifestyle is becoming more
important. As part of their
mission, Tammy Spatola
and Kris Geigner, co-owners
of Health Nutz, are driven
by a passion for educating
and helping people pursue
healthier lives.
Bringing their mission to
fruition, Health Nutz will
be hosting its second Health
Fair as a means to educate
and introduce people to the
variety of health and wellness
goods available. Taking
place Sept. 9, from 9 a.m.-3
p.m., the health fair will feature
about 50 vendors offering
demonstrations, samples
and more.
Expanding on the event
this year, five speakers will
talk about health and environmental
issues and their
natural solutions, Geigner
said.
“We’re just celebrating the
community and everybody
getting healthier,” Geigner
said. “Our mission is getting
people healthy in a natural
way.”
Last year, the company
hosted its first Health Fair as
a way to celebrate its grand
re-opening after the business
partners purchased the company.
“Last year, we wanted to
do a grand re-opening, but
we wanted to give people
the opportunity not only to
learn about living healthy
lifestyles, but also to meet
people in the community doing
health-oriented things,”
Geigner said. “We had an
amazing response. … We
had close to 1,500 people attend.”
Since the success of last
year’s event, Health Nutz
has received inquiries about
when it will host its next
health fair, Spatola said.
“It has become, and will
be remembered in years to
come, as an actual community
event,” she said.
“It’s an annual, ongoing
event that the community
looks forward to every year.”
Among the vendors that
will be present at this year’s
health fair, Michael Nastepniak,
owner of Bee Humble
Bee Farm and Bee & You in
Frankfort and New Lenox,
will show off his live bees
and will offer insights to attendees
about the insects.
The company also will
showcase its line of cosmetics
made with bee products.
“I’m excited just to talk
to people, educate people,
as much as I can. That’s exciting
for me,” Nastepniak
said. “Bees are a hot topic
right now, and I want to give
people more information if I
can.”
Nastepniak said that he enjoys
the opportunity to work
with Spatola and Geigner.
“We have the same passion,”
he said. “They just
want to bring good products
to people and educate them
as much as they can. When
you have a passion for something,
it just comes out of
you, and you can see that in
Kris and Tammy.”
The passion in the Health
Nutz co-owners is clear to
many. Deana Hryn, a New
Lenox resident and independent
distributor for Norwex
and Nucerity, products that
offer a natural and healthier
way of cleaning, also shares
a passion for helping others
lead healthful lives.
Hryn will have products
on display at the fair. She
also looks forward to speaking
with people one-on-one
and sharing information
with others about innovations
in the health space, she
said.
“You get to share your
love of health and wellness
and living better lives for
ourselves and our children,”
she said.
“There is so much information,
people are so confused
about all of the big,
bulk mass marketing on
products that they truly don’t
know the long-term effects
of what we consume. I want
to help them not just live
healthier lives but long lives
with better quality of life.”
Understanding the difficulties
that come with celiac
disease, Nancy O’Connor,
owner of Tinley Park’s
Sweet Pea Gluten Free, is
looking forward to sharing
her solution for those looking
for gluten-free options.
“For me, the most important
thing is being able to
provide not just something
healthier, but to provide
to people … a gluten-free
product that tastes good,”
O’Connor said.
O’Connor said she also
appreciates the variety of
health-and-wellness products
available at the fair.
“It’s a unique opportunity
to find a number of new
products, and it’s kind of
like a one-stop-shop, from
chiropractors to gluten-free
food to wonderful honey,”
she said. “It’s a great way to
talk to vendors about what
they offer directly. It’s a nicer,
personal, one-on-one way
to meet … folks who have
small businesses.”

Community invited to free
disaster preparedness classes
Submitted by Village of New
Lenox
The Village of New
Lenox will be hosting a
Community Emergency
Response Team (CERT)
20-hour basic course starting
Wednesday, Sept. 13.
Class size is limited to
40 and registration closes
Sept. 8.
The course is free to
New Lenox residents and
takes place every Wednesday
from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at
Village Hall. The final exercise
and graduation will
be held from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
Saturday, Oct. 28.
The CERT program educates
people about disaster
preparedness for hazards
that may impact their area
and trains them in basic disaster
response skills, such
as fire safety, light search,
rescue-team organizations
and disaster medical training
operations.
Using the training
learned in the classroom
and during exercises,
CERT members can assist
others in their neighborhood
or workplace following
an event when professional
responders aren’t
immediately available for
help. CERT members are
also encouraged to support
emergency response agencies
by taking a more active
role in emergency preparedness
projects in their
community.
CERT training will teach
participants to describe the
types of hazards that affect
their homes and communities;
describe the functions
of CERT and their roles in
immediate response; take
steps to prepare themselves
for a disaster; identify and
reduce potential fire hazards
in their home or workplace;
work as a team to
apply basic fire suppression
strategies, resources
and safety measures to
extinguish a burning liquid;
apply techniques for
opening airways, controlling
bleeding, and treating
shock; conduct triage under
simulated conditions; perform
head-to-toe assessments;
select and set-up
a treatment area; employ
basic treatments for various
wounds; identify planning
and size-up requirements
for potential search
and rescue situations; and
describe the most common
techniques for searching a
structure.
Those interested in registering
for the CERT course
should contact Daniel Martin,
Safe Community Coordinator,
Village of New
Lenox, (815) 462-6493 or

Free falls prevention classes
offered for older adults
A Matter of Balance
classes begin Sept.
11 and Sept. 28
Submitted by Village of New
Lenox
Has someone turned down
a chance to go out with family
or friends because he or
she was concerned about
falling? Has one cut down on
a favorite activity because of
the possibility of falling?
If so, A Matter of Balance:
Managing Concerns About
Falls is a program to attend.
The New Lenox Safe
Communities America Coalition,
through collaborative
partnerships with member
organizations, is offering
two free, different sessions
in September for participants
to attend. The upcoming
session starts 9:30-11:30
a.m. Monday, Sept. 11 and
will have classes every
Monday through Oct. 30 at
Village Hall. If unavailable
on Mondays, the second set
of classes begin Thursday,
Sept. 28 from 9:30- 11:30
a.m. and occur every Thursday
through Nov. 16 at Lincolnway
Christian Church,
690 E. Illinois Highway in
New Lenox.
Fear of falling can be just
as dangerous as falling itself.
People who develop this fear
often limit their activities,
which can result in severe
physical weakness, making
the risk of falling even greater.
Many older adults also
experience increased isolation
and depression when
they limit their interactions
with family and friends. A
Matter of Balance can help
people improve their quality
of life and remain independent.
A Matter of Balance is designed
to reduce the fear of
falling and increase activity
levels among older adults.
Participants learn to set realistic
goals to increase activity,
change their environment
to reduce fall risk factors,
and learn simple exercises
to increase strength and balance.
For additional information
or to register for either
class, please contact Daniel
Martin, Safe Community
Coordinator, at (815) 462-
6493 or via email at dmar
tin@newlenox.net.

Twenty-two
local eateries
participate in
Restaurant Week
Food specials run
through Sept. 17
James Sanchez, Editor
The Village and New
Lenox Chamber of Commerce
decided to switch
things up for the local foodies.
Through Sunday, Sept.
17, participating eateries
will have special offers and
discounts for their customers
as part of the village’s
first installment of Restaurant
Week.
For the last five years,
Celebrate and Shop New
Lenox, which occurred between
Thanksgiving and
Christmas, was the period
when all local deals from a
variety of businesses took
place. However, designating
a time to each industry
throughout the year was the
more effective way to go. It
started with Bring on Spring
last April, which featured
mostly cleaning, flooring,
landscaping and home decorating
specials and now
Restaurant Week.
“We were thinking that
businesses will be more apt
to participate if it’s more
specialized rather than having
everything at the end of
the year,” said Village Economic
Development Coordinator
Nancy Dye.
Moving forward, Celebrate
and Shop New Lenox
will predominantly feature
deals from clothing and accessory
stores. Dye chose

FROM THE ORLAND PARK PRAIRIE
Bike path set for completion
this fall at Stellwagen Farm
A bike path is set to open
at Stellwagen Farm this fall,
providing a new layer of access
to the historic farmland.
Since purchasing the 60-
acre farm at 108th Avenue
and Louetta Lane in 2002
through the State’s Open
Space Lands Acquisition
and Development Program,
the Village of Orland Park
has worked on a plan to
make the farm more accessible
to all.
The Stellwagen Family
Farm Foundation offers special
events at the farm and
free tours of the farm in the
fall.
The addition of a bike
and walking path will be
one more way for residents
of Orland Park and the surrounding
area to enjoy the
farm, according to Trustee
Kathleen Fenton, who serves
as chairwoman of the Village’s
Development Services,
Planning & Engineering
Committee.
“The path will give visitors
to the farm a bird’s eye view
of buildings, crops, prairies,
everything,” she said. “It’s
going to connect to three
other parks. It’s a long time
coming, getting the funding
to put the path in, because
they’re not cheap.”
The total cost of the bike
path is $384,316, Fenton
said, and the Village is paying
for it through a mixture
of budgeted funds and
grants.
Construction of the path
is underway, and once completed
the path is to connect
to sidewalks at Rachel Lane,
Louetta Lane, Amber Lane,
Diego Lane and Olde Mill
Drive. The path also is to
connect to Eagle Ridge and
Mission Hills parks.

FROM THE LOCKPORT LEGEND
WWII Days to blast back
into Lockport
Dellwood Park will be
under siege yet again this
weekend.
All of the explosions, gunfire
and entertainment of the
Lockport Township Park
District’s annual World War
II Days event is set to make
its return Saturday, Sept. 9,
and Sunday, Sept. 10.
The first event of the
weekend is to be the popular
WWII Weapons & Uniform
Demonstration, taking place
at 10:15 a.m. at the Performing
Arts Center in Dellwood
Park. Spectators will have
the opportunity to get an upclose
look at the clothes and
weaponry of the time before
seeing it put to use on the
battlefield.
One aspect of the event
that has evolved is the hospitality
tent for veterans.
Previously, the tent only had
been available for WWII
veterans, but this year it will
be open to all veterans, according
to Pamela Hutton,
public relations and marketing
supervisor for the Lockport
Township Park District.
The tent is to be open from
12:30-2:30 p.m. Sept. 9 in
the beer garden, she said.

Tribes Alehouse’s Paints
& Pints fuses creativity,
entertainment
For many adults who enjoy
a frothy, fermented beverage,
having a cold one can
make many any activity that
much more enjoyable.
When said activity involves
tapping into the inner
artist, how can one not have
a good time?
Tribes Alehouse is hoping
to capitalize on those concepts
with Paints & Pints, an
informal three hours of instructional
painting coupled
with a beer or glass of wine.
The restaurant and bar
kicked off the series —
scheduled to be held the last
Wednesday of each month
through the end of fall —
Aug. 30 at Tribes’ Tinley
Park location, 9501 W. 171st
St.
Erin Daly, a Tribes employee
and chief organizer
of the event, has attended
painting nights before, and
thought bringing the event
to the alehouse would be a
way to get people out on a
weeknight to have fun with
friends.
“It’s beer and painting,
you know what I mean?”
Daly said. “Everything can
go wrong, and that’s the fun
part about it.”

FROM THE HOMER HORIZON
Annunciation Byzantine adds
mural to exterior of church
Bright blue arches decorate
the exterior of the Annunciation
Byzantine Catholic
Church in Homer Glen;
however, they are not meant
to stay blue.
“If people go by our
church, they’ll see these
blue, arched areas,” the Rev.
Thomas Loya said. “All of
them are intended for murals,
so we have them all
across the front — that’s
complete — and now we are
working on the other parts.”
Six of the arches already
have been converted to murals,
and Loya started working
on the seventh in July.
These murals come from a
long-standing tradition of
iconography in the Byzantine
Church, according to
Loya, who has been involved
with art his whole life.
“I painted all of the interior
of the church,” Loya said.
“The murals from floor to
ceiling are our tradition with
the Byzantine icons.
The latest mural is of Theotokos
of the Life-giving
Font, spanning a 9-foot-by-
14-foot arch space. Such a
large mural called for the
grid method, in order to keep
the icon proportional.
According to Loya, he
used a “quality exterior paint
and 23-karat gold leaf” for
the mural. The supplies are
funded by parishioners who
would like an icon painted in
honor of a loved one.

Conservation and science in your own backyard
Amanda Stoll

I
don’t even particularly
care for most insects,
although I do understand
the importance of them in
the environment.
I don’t wear clothing with
butterflies on it, and I don’t
think I ever really did as a
child. And, I would never
consider getting a butterfly
tattooed on my skin.
But, man, I love butterflies.
I dressed up as a monarch
butterfly once for trick-ortreating
for Halloween. My
mom would make costumes
for us every year, and I
swear every year they were
just as elaborate as the next.
Two years later, that
costume got used for my
sister’s second grade class
play, “The Garden Show.”
The costume was a huge
orange poncho, so when I
stretched out my arms the

use those interests for good.
When her children were
young, she would sometimes
find a monarch caterpillar
in the yard and bring
it in, nurture it and watch
it emerge from its chrysalis
with her family as an educational
activity.
Now, however, she is doing
it on a bigger scale to
try to help the population
rebound.
brightly colored and painstakingly
accurate vein and
dot patterns on the wings
looked like something from
a Broadway musical.
Or so I felt every time
I put on that costume. My
sister and I played dress-up
with our friends and that costume
was always a favorite.
The felt dots fell off, and
my mother glued them back
on. I even tried to squeeze
myself into the costume during
college when my parents
moved, and I found the
costume in the basement.
Obviously I was not the
same size as I had been, but
I guess my love for butterflies
had never changed.
This week I interviewed
Kay MacNeil, a Frankfort
resident who has spent years
nurturing monarch butterflies
in her home. It started
as an educational tool for
her children, but now she
does it as her own way to
help monarch populations
recover from a nearly 90
percent population decrease
in the last two decades.
During that hour I
saw caterpillars turn into
chrysalides and butterflies
emerge with wrinkled wings
— well, almost. Those little
guys are fast and before we
knew it, he was out!
The monarch butterfly
has been the state insect of
Illinois since 1975, but its
numbers have been steadily
and alarmingly declining in
recent years because of loss
of habitat. In 1996, there
were an estimated 1 billion
monarch butterflies. In
2013, there were 33 million.
The milkweed on which
the caterpillars feed and the
butterflies lay their eggs is
frequently mowed, leaving
the monarchs nowhere to
go.
As part of the Garden
The interview has brought
back so many memories
for me. I think it was also
second grade when we did
the exact project in our
classroom.
It was a great learning
experience then, but even 20
years later I found myself
learning things I didn’t
know about monarch butterflies.
In college, I changed my
major multiple times and
spend my sophomore year
as a biology major with a
journalism minor. I ended
up changing my major the
following year. Even as a
journalism major; however,
I couldn’t bear to drop the
biology, so I kept it as my
minor.
Learning about the life
cycle of the monarch, and
all butterflies and moths,
really, is a great learning
experience. It’s one project
I sure hope they do in the
New Lenox schools — and
not just for elementary
school students, either.
I think there is something
for everyone to learn, and
I think learning is the first
step in caring.
Monarch butterflies are
not currently protected under
the Endangered Species
Act, but there is a petition to

There aren’t usually
a lot of ways for the average
person to help out species
that are in need, but helping
monarchs is an easy one.
Planting milkweed in
your yard or along a roadside
helps give monarchs
back some of their habitat,
and even though MacNeil is
very hands-on with raising
the insects, it is not necessary
to be.
So, consider planting
milkweed in your yard,
or talking to your child’s
teacher about doing the
project in their classroom.
Hey, they might even like
some help with it if you
have the time.

Husband, wife educate children about anatomy through book
Jason Maholy
Freelance Reporter
Most preschool-aged children
know – even before
they can read – “C” is for
cat. But do they know the
third letter of the alphabet is
also for “cranium?”
A husband and wife from
New Lenox believe most
probably don’t, but through
a book they co-authored
hopes to educate children on
that fact, and other aspects of
human anatomy and physiology.
“B is for Biceps,” the
first book by professional
physical therapists James
and Amy Randolph debuted
in May on Amazon and
BarnesandNoble.com.
“The idea is to [introduce]
anatomy to children, and
spark an interest and curiosity
on what makes up the human
body,” said James, who
teamed up with his wife,
Amy, to write the book.
The inspiration to write a
children’s book on anatomy
came to the Randolphs a
couple years ago during a
fruitless search for just such
a publication. The couple
was in a large chain bookstore
looking for a book for
their children, Jayden and
Hailey, now 8 and 4, respectively,
but found nothing that
was appropriate for and understandable
to young children.
“So, we decided to write
one of our own,” James said.
“It’s a book we wanted our
children to have.”
“B is for Biceps” uses
rhymes and illustrations to
present human anatomy to
children in a way that is fun,
educational and easy to understand,
Amy explained.
The journey from A to Z covers
proper anatomical terminology
for various muscles,
bones and other parts of
the body, and explains their
The characters in the book are inspired by James and Amy’s two children, Hailey and
Jayden. Their dog, Sadie, is also illustrated in the book.
functions and what they look
like.
“And adults can learn
from it too,” said Amy, a
Frankfort native and a Lincoln-Way
East alum. “It was
a lot of fun writing it.”
Children with strong reading
skills should be able to
read the book themselves,
though Amy acknowledged
youths may need help with
a few of the more complex
anatomical terms, such as xiphoid
process and orbicularis
oculi. For those who don’t
know, the former is a small
cartilaginous extension of
the lower sternum – feel

WC Forest Preserve to distribute free safety wristbands for trail-goers
Submitted by the Will
County Forest Preserve
District
The Forest Preserve District
of Will County has
launched a wristband campaign
to help people remember
the telephone number
they should call if they need
police assistance in a preserve
or on a trail.
The colorful wristbands
come in two sizes – small
and large – and they are imprinted
with the telephone
number for the Will County
Sheriff’s Police dispatch
center. The center provides
dispatching services for the
Forest Preserve District’s
Police Department.
If one is faced with an
emergency where seconds
count, call 911. But if there
is a non-emergency that requires
police assistance, or
if one sees something suspicious,
call the dispatch number,
(815) 727-6191.
The wristband campaign
is part of the Forest Preserve
police department’s “Eyes,
Ears and Cell Phones” campaign,
which provides advice
about how to stay safe
in the forest preserves by using
your sight and hearing to
be aware of your surroundings
and a cell phone to call
for assistance or report concerns.
Police Chief Tracy Chapman
said she came up with
the idea for wristbands while
A cyclist on the Old Plank Road Trail shows off a new safety wristband he recently received from the Forest Preserve
District of Will County. The free wristbands list the dispatch number people should call if they need non-emergency police
assistance on a trail or in a preserve. Photo Submitted
she was in a safety planning
meeting where public outreach
was being discussed.
“I looked down at my
wristband that I wear every
day for my best friend who
passed away in 2011 from
brain cancer, and it hit me.
We should have wristbands
with our dispatch phone
number on it,” Chapman
said.
Forest Preserve staff hand
out “Eyes, Ears and Cell
Phones” brochures, which
also include the dispatch
number and other safety tips.
And trail users are encouraged
to program the number
into their phones. But that
might not always happen,
Chapman said. So the wristbands
will help guarantee
that the number is always
available and help is only a
phone call away.
“The wristbands are not
just for your wrist,” Chapman
said. “They also can be
placed on a bike’s handlebars,
around water bottles or
even around your cell phone
while you are spending time
in the preserves. Having the
phone number right there
and available will encourage
people to call.”
Chapman said people
shouldn’t wait to call with
information or concerns.
“See it; report it,” she said.
“Real-time reporting will
increase public safety and
crime prevention.”
Ralph Schultz, the Forest
Preserve’s chief operating
officer, said the wristbands
are informative and helpful,
but they also serve another
purpose.
“Along with providing
a contact number for our
police, the wristbands can
serve as a subtle reminder
to think about safety and to
be aware of your surroundings,”
he said.
The free wristbands were
distributed by police during
Trail Safety Days. Around
100 wristbands were distributed
during a Trail Safety
Day on July 30 at Rock Run
and Hadley Valley preserves
and Veterans Memorial and
Old Plank Road trails.
Wristbands also can be
picked up at four Forest
Preserve visitor centers: Isle
a la Cache, 501 E. Romeo
Road in Romeoville; Monee
Reservoir, 27341 Ridgeland
Ave. in Monee; Plum Creek
Nature Center, 27064 S.
Dutton Road in Beecher; and
Sugar Creek Administration
Center, 17540 W. Laraway
Road in Joliet.

Book
From Page 21
Determining which body
part to relate to each letter,
and coming up with good
rhymes while keeping the
passages short were among
the greatest challenges, the
couple said, and agreed “X”
was the most difficult letter
with which to work.
“We don’t have a lot of
anatomical or physiological
terms that start with X, so
we ended up with xiphoid
process,” Amy added.
There are also simpler
ones, like “L” for lungs and
“K” for kidneys. And “B,”
obviously, for biceps.
“After we decided to write
the book, we started talking
about what would we
call the it, and quickly came
up with ‘B is for Biceps,’”
James said. “We thought
that was really catchy, and
we thought the book should
have rhyming because kids
love rhyming books – we
know that, as parents.”
The couple kept the book
a secret from their children
until they received a proof
copy from their publisher.
Jayden and Hailey were
thrilled to learn they are the
two characters that take the
journey through the human
body. The family’s golden
retriever, Sadie, also makes
an appearance.
The book has been wellreceived
by healthcare professionals,
and many of
James and Amy’s colleagues
have told them they hadn’t
before seen such a book,
the couple said. The school
district Jayden and Hailey
attend will incorporate the
book into its preschool curriculum
this year, they said.
“We came with the idea
and put it out there, and people
really like it,” Amy said
of the satisfaction of being a
published author.
“We’re definitely happy
with how everything turned
out, and it was really exciting
to see our idea come together
on the pages,” James
added. “Once we actually received
the physical copy, we
were so excited to have the
completed project because
we knew all the work that
went into it, and we were
really excited to show our
kids.”
The next thought, he said,
was “what now?” The Randolphs
have answered that
question, and are working
on the idea for their second
book. The couple is ironing
out the details, but will
continue with the concept
of anatomy, physiology and
healthcare.
The Randolphs will be
selling their book at the
Friends of the Library Community
Rummage Sale from
9 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Sept.
9, at the Village Commons.

The Dish
Chak De Fuzyon introduces Indian cuisine to Tinley Park
Brittany Kapa, Assistant Editor
Sandeep Joshi strongly
believes that cooking is an
art form that can touch all of
the senses.
“The chef is the biggest artist
for me,” he said. “The art
of the chef, people can smell;
people can see and eat. I’m
really influenced by that.”
That influence shows in
his work. Joshi prepares everything
from scratch and
in-house. Naan dough and
all of the base gravies – onion,
tomato and vegetable
– are made in the morning.
Aside from that, every dish
featured on the menu is prepared
fresh once a customer
places an order.
“Indian cooking has to
simmer; Indian cooking has
to be seasoned properly,” said
Lupita Hermosillo, Joshi’s
business partner. “There are
dishes that have over 20 or 30
different spices in it. There
are some dishes that he has to
marinade overnight.”
Hermosillo stressed that she
hopes patrons can appreciate
the dish despite the wait. Joshi
does not make bulk batches
and then re-warm dishes; he
makes everything to order.
In January, the pair came
across an advertisement on
Craigslist for the space that
they would later call Chak
De Fuzyon. This is the first
restaurant for Hermosillo, 35,
and Joshi, 28.
“When we met I had already
been serving and bartending
and hosting,” Hermosillo
said. “I pretty much
did everything in the front of
the house for over 15 years.
I was tired of working for
someone else, seeing the
things they were doing that I
would do differently but I had
no power to actually change
[those] things because I was
not in charge.”
After some minor renovations,
the duo opened their
Chicken tikka masala ($10.99) can be ordered mild or spicy,
and has a creamy butter, tomato and fenugreek sauce that
simmers with masala spices for a complex flavor.
Tinley Park restaurant, located
at 7982 167th Street,
on April 1. Hermosillo said
for the first three weeks the
restaurant opened were very
busy. Now, they have leveled
out to a good ebb and flow.
The restaurant’s name
stems from a movie released
in 2007 by a similar name,
“Chak De! India.” The phrase
“chak de” translates to “let’s
go.” Since Joshi also has experience
in Chinese cuisine,
the “fuzyon” part of the name
refers to the fusion between
the two cuisines.
“We wanted something
different but at the same time
we feel like in Tinley Park,
there is no Indian restaurant,”
Joshi said. “We wanted to put
a name that brings the people
[to the restaurant].”
Joshi said when choosing
the name he had hoped people
would Google the phrase
and then say, “Let’s go for
Indian bistro.” Hermosillo
said she hopes the restaurant
becomes people’s “hole in
the wall” restaurant that may
not be the fanciest but has the
best food.
“The most rewarding
places that I usually go to,
and I keep going back, are
the small places where there
is that dish that nobody else
makes better,” she said.
“That’s what we strive for because
that’s all we can offer.”
‘His work is his worship’
Joshi’s level of dedication
to his food shows in every
dish he makes. Whether it is
a traditional and well-known
dish like chicken tikka masala
($10.99) or dal tadka
($9.99) that brings him back
to his roots, he prepares each
dish with care.
The latter, dal yadka, is
what Hermosillo describes
as Indian comfort food. Joshi
strays from the typical restaurant
dal tadka and makes a
recipe inspired by his mom’s
recipe.
“When I was a small kid,
my mom made it in an easy,
simple way like a homestyle,”
Joshi said, adding that
his mom would hand grind
special spices for the soup.
Joshi includes the traditional
cooked lentils and

mixes the dish with ginger,
garlic, and his own blend of
herbs and spices.
He still remembers coming
home from school as a child
and smelling dal tadka wafting
from the kitchen. It’s a
dish that takes him right back
to his roots.
For those who have not
tried Indian food before, both
Joshi and Hermosillo assure
that the flavors are not as
strong as one might expect.
Dishes like the chicken tikka
masala can be made to suit
the customer’s spice preference.

or “Indian spicy.” It’s more
about flavor than anything
else, they said.
“A lot of times the chef
only comes out when there
is an issue,” Hermosillo said.
“[Joshi] comes out to talk to
people. There are people that
walk up to the window and
talk with him. They tell him
how good the meal was.”
Other not-to-miss items
include the cheese naan ($3).
Joshi works cream cheese
into the dough before cooking
it in a traditional tandoor
clay oven. Those looking for
vegan options have plenty to
choose from. Twisted Babycorn
($7.99) is one of the bistro’s
fusion dishes that combines
tomato, ketchup, chili
sauce and coconut milk onto
the corn. After being sauteed,
the dish is topped with
sesame oil and cilantro. Vegetable
Korma ($8.99) is another
dish that can be vegan,
and has a creamy almond and
cashew nut base sauce.
“His work is his worship,”
Hermosillo said about Joshi’s
cooking. “He puts his heart
and soul into what he does.”

The Dish
Soundgrowler’s true-to-style craft beer served with a side of grit, attitude
F. Amanda Tugade
Contributing Editor
Tinley Crossing North,
along 183rd Avenue, is
home to several industrial
businesses.
But Arturo Lamas and
Chris Pennington had something
else in mind.
Their vision was to find
the right spot to grow
Soundgrowler Brewing Co.
into more than a place where
people can drink and dine,
and they sought to sink their
teeth into a community.
There is a certain stillness
that surrounds the North
complex, which is a stark
contrast to the constant rotation
of doom metal bands
that blares overhead in the
taproom and the loud humming
from the brewing
equipment in the back.
The buzz behind Soundgrowler
continues to grow,
especially since Lamas
and Pennington opened the
doors to the taproom nearly
five weeks ago, and for metalheads,
Mexican street food
devotees and craft beer enthusiasts,
the south suburban
brewery is a hidden gem.
“We do what we want to
do, and don’t really care
about what everyone else is
doing,” brewmaster Larry
Hough said. “We don’t try to
fit in or please everyone. You
either get it or you don’t, if
that makes sense.”
Hough, a self-proclaimed
“craft beer geek,” is a stickler
for perfecting Soundgrowler’s
staples, as his
main priority is to bring
Lamas’ and Pennington’s
promise of “our people, our
craft” into fruition.
And he looks to his playlist
as his muse.
“Customers can’t pick
what to play,” Hough said.
“A lot of the [beer] names
come from bands and songs
and stuff like that, whatever
Soundgrowler’s plate of nachos ($7.50) is comprised of house chips, steak, signature pico de gallo, lettuce, tomatoes,
salsa verde, grated Cotija cheese and sour cream. F. Amanda Tugade/22nd Century Media
inspires me at the moment.”
Case in point, his American
Pale Ale 3 Suns is a nod
to New Orleans-based band
Down and its song “Three
Suns and One Star.” Another
example is the Dirty Hesher,
inspired by metal musician
Matt Pike.
Pike, a member of Sleep
and frontman of High on
Fire, is known for his distinct,
heavy sound, followed
by his signature guitar pickup,
“The Dirty Hesher.”
Hough — who also was
eager to share his sense of
humor — cited a definition
of a “hesher,” which
is a “grungy, long-haired
person with a still-stuck-inthe-1980s
image.” The beer
itself, he added, is a hoppy
farmhouse ale, mostly Pilsner
malt-based with a touch
of American hops.
As for Soundgrowler’s
best seller, Hough and taproom
manager Drew Green
turn to Orange Haze — a
West Coast IPA not actually
made with any fruit.
Orange Haze is the end
result of an experiment of
trying a certain yeast strain,
Hough explained. He called
the success an “unexpected”
one, because he “just brewed
it,” and the citrus flavor
comes from the hops, water,
yeast and barley.
Soundgrowler’s craft
beers are sold in a variety of
sizes. Prices start at $5 for a
20-ounce imperial pint (or a
13-ounce nonic, depending
on the beer) and go as high
as $15-18 for a 64-ounce
growler fill.
In addition to the beer, Lamas
and his cousin, Jackie,
have created a menu that
pays tribute to their Mexican
culture.
“Basically, all the recipes
are all old family recipes —
all tradition, all authentic,
[all] street,” Hough said.
The hero of the menu are
the tacos ($2.25 each), and
customers have the choice of
steak, al pastor and chicken.
Tacos are served on corn tortillas,
and topped with cilantro
and onion.
Green said those who opt
for the veggie tacos (also
$2.25) can look forward to a
blend of potato with poblano
strips garnished with Cotija
cheese, lettuce, tomato and
sour cream.
Other standouts, he said,
are elotes ($3.50), a Mexican-style
corn on the cob
doused in mayo, butter,
grated cotija cheese and chili
powder; and nachos ($7.50),
which are made with house
chips, Soundgrowler signature
pico de gallo, lettuce,
salsa verde, grated Cotija
cheese and sour cream. Customers
also can choose to
top their nachos with steak,
chicken or al pastor.
Hough noted Soundgrowler
also has its own craft root
beer ($3).
“So, you can come here
and eat, but you don’t have
to drink,” he said.
He said looking to get their
hands on Soundgrowler outside
of the brewery should
keep an eye out for the team
at some festivals, including
Naperville Firkin Fest on
Saturday, Sept. 9; Villa Park
Brewfest Saturday, Sept. 23;
and Arts and Drafts in Orland
Park Saturday, Sept. 30.
Hough reflected on his
partnership with Lamas and

Pennington, which stemmed
from replying to an ad on a
site for craft brewers, and
navigating through the industry
for the last 10 years.
He said his interest in craft
brewing came from a kit his
wife gifted him on Father’s
Day and “it exploded from
there.”
He snagged an opportunity
to intern at 5 Rabbit Brewery
in Bedford Park and gained
more experience with 51st
Ward and Lagunitas.
“And here I am now,” he
said. “So, now it doesn’t
suck to go to work.”

Luxury Townhomes in Tinley Park from the upper $200’s
Since 1970
Exit I-80 at La Grange Road south for just under two miles to La Porte Road and turn east for one-half mile to Brookside Meadows.
Crana Homes: Sterling Reputation for Quality and Customer Satisfaction
Reputation is everything, especially when it
comes to the largest investment most people will
ever make. Buyers have the right to expect lasting
quality in a new home and complete customer
satisfaction from their builder. A great reputation,
developed over years of experience, is an important
distinction that separates the ‘best of the best’ from
mediocrity. Since you will likely own your home
for years, maybe decades - or even pass it along to
future generations - why settle for anything less?
Look no further. The ‘best of the best’ is Crana
Homes. By every standard that measures reputation:
quality, integrity, value and commitment to customer
satisfaction, Crana stands out. Their dedication to
your new home is a legacy from the many hundreds
of homes built by Crana over the past 45+ years.
Their latest development is Brookside Meadows, a
secluded neighborhood of luxury townhomes where
buyers are finding unrivaled Crana quality and great
value in a excellent Tinley Park location.
The champion of Crana Homes’ reputation is
Frank Bradley, well-known for his commitment to
excellence as well as his charitable work. Growing
up in Ireland Bradley trained as a Master Carpenter
– at a time when houses were mostly built with hand
tools. The building industry has seen many changes
over the years but nothing can replace the value of
Old World craftsmanship and the importance of

paying attention to the smallest detail. That’s why
Bradley meets with buyers personally to discuss
what they need and want in their new home.
Working closely with customers gives the insight
needed to meet and exceed customer expectations.
This makes a Crana home not only a great place to
live but a wise investment as well.
In Brookside Meadows the recently opened
Phase II has choice sites available for singlefamily
luxury townhome designs. The Fahan II is a
beautiful 3,303 total square foot home (2,087’ living
space and 1,216’ basement) with a two-car garage.
The split level layout has three bedrooms and twoand-half
baths. The spacious kitchen has custom
maple cabinetry and stunning granite countertops.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a great room, comfortable
and elegant beneath a stately loft. Beautiful oak is
used throughout – including doors, floors, railings
and trim. The floors in the foyer and the bathrooms
are finished with ceramic tile. The bathrooms feature
maple cabinets with companion granite tops. A deck
is included and, depending on home style selected,
a full walkout or lookout basement is included.
The Lennan II is a comfortable two (or optional
three) bedroom split level home and includes most
of the features of the Fahan II except the large
master suite has an optional cathedral ceiling and is
located on the upper level. The Lennan II has 3,167

square feet of total space (2,118’ living space and
1,049’ basement) and a two-car garage.
With prices holding in the upper-$200s (including
site), buyers are finding options are affordable - like
a fireplace, coffered ceilings, skylights providing
natural light and a soaker tub in the master bath.
Homes include cost-efficient, energy-saving features
like a high-efficiency furnace, Lo-E glass and other
‘Green’ features. Chicago water is on tap.
Brookside Meadows’ location is a winner,
too! Tinley Park has everything: great schools,
numerous parks and playgrounds, close proximitry
to thousands of shopping choices plus all the
recreation, cultural events and dining choices of a
neighboring world class city. Major highways and
the Metra commuter line are just minutes away.
Discover Crana Homes’ great reputation in
Brookside Meadows. The Sales Center, with fully
decorated luxury townhome models, is open Mon-
Thurs, 10am-4pm; Sat-Sun, noon-4pm; and Friday
by appointment. From I-80, exit La Grange Road
south for two miles to La Porte Road and turn
east for one-half mile. GPS users can enter: 19839

10 Questions
with Mackenzie Brownrigg
Mackenzie Brownrigg is a junior at
Lincoln-Way Central and a standout runner
on the Knights’ girls cross country team.
How did you get started?
My mom was a runner, so when we were
younger my mom used to have us do 5K’s. I
started competitive running in sixth grade. I
was also competitive swimming, so when I
moved here I had to decide between running
and swimming because they were both in the
same season, so I decided on running.
What’s your favorite/least favorite
part of running?
The bond between the team, the healthy
competition between team rivals or individuals
rivals, and the feeling of empowerment
of the competition. I definitely love competing.
My least favorite is not being satisfied
with what I do. But it always makes me want
to do better. So it always helps not being satisfied.
What’s the hardest part?
Right now, as a junior, is trying to juggle
running and training with my school work.
I’m definitely taking my hardest classes now,
but I’m making it work.
What have you learned from coach
Jack Young?
At my old school we basically just ran
miles. He’s all about not just running miles
but making sure we’re doing our work at
practice, whether it’s running the right pace
or having a fast finish or doing our strides at
the end of a run. He’s definitely taught me a
lot of things about myself and my team and
how to run better.
Do you have plans for college?
I definitely want to go to college for running.
At the top of my list is University of
Michigan. So I definitely want to go to a D-I
school if I’m able to. I also want to look at
Notre Dame and Arkansas.
What would be your dream job?
My true dream job would be to be an elite,
professional runner. But I’d also like to be in
Photo submitted
sports nutrition. Just to be involved with the
sport of running would be ideal for me.
Who’s your role model?
My dad. He did track in high school, but
he gets out and he runs now, even with me.
He keeps me going in my races. Whenever I
see him and I’m giving in at the end of the
race, then I know I need to start kicking, and
he’s definitely pushed me to be my best.
Where would your dream vacation
be?
Getting to travel to different states to see
what the different terrain and altitude is like.
I would love to go to Colorado and run there.
What kind of exotic pet would you
like to own?
A cheetah would be pretty nice.
Do you have a pre-run ritual?
I have certain stretches I do. But one thing
I always do is write a bible verse on my
hand; I write Philippians 4:13 on my hand,
so whenever I’m getting in a tough spot in a
race I can look down and I know I that I can
always go harder.

LW Central girls tennis fundraiser a smash
T.J. Kremer III
Contributing Editor
The phrase, “like herding
cats,” was originally coined
by Electronic Data Systems
and was meant to mimic what
is was like to manage senior
programmers, but the phrase
was just as apt for some of the
youngest participants at Lincoln-Way
Central girls tennis
fundraiser on Aug. 27. However,
all that controlled chaos
resulted in a sea of smiles and
money raised to help the team
purchase new equipment,
training and treats throughout
the hard season for the dedicated
players.
The Knights opened their
courts to anyone able to pick
up a racket and get some
one-on-one instruction from
members of the junior varsity
and varsity teams. And
the community responded
by packing the courts at LW
Central, swinging freely and
having a good time.
Sisters Taylor, 8, and Gabriella,
10, Bush each got
a shot to learn from a pair
of freshman tennis players.
When asked what she was
learning that day, Taylor responded,
“tennis.”
Gabriella expanded on the
answer a little further for her
sister.
“I’m learning forehands,
backhands, overheads and
drop serves,” the older sister
proudly recited, happy she
remembered the name of the
last technique.
Their instructors for the
half hour, Micaela Cesta and
Alexandria Rees, appeared
to be enjoying the time as
much as the young girls.
“The fundraiser is to get
people out in this community,
to come and take their
kids or themselves, to learn
that tennis is a great way
for them to get accustomed
to something they’ve never
done before,” Rees said.
“Like my dad says, “When
you teach someone something,
you learn twice.’”
Getting people hooked on
that joy from tennis is really
the other main goal of
the fundraiser, according to
Susan Schneider, head girls
tennis coach at LW Central
In the six years they’ve
been putting on the fundraiser,
Schneider said she’s
seen girls inspired to join the
team after spending part of
an afternoon learning from
them.
“It’s really nice to be able
to get people to come out
here and fall in love with the
sport of tennis,” Schneider
said. “[People] of any age —
we’ve got some 3 year olds
[out here] — all the way up
to adult; people in their 90’s
are still playing tennis, and
it doesn’t matter what their
ability level is, we just want
people to go out an play.” “It’s
a lifetime sport is what it is.”
The Knights are offering
spirt-wear and other merchandise
to those interested

“Junior Brian Sterling and
freshman Sean Curran ironically
are the little brothers
of the program,” Pohlmann
said. “Both share the honor
of following of their sisters’
tradition of great high school
golf. As Brian follows Kathy
and Kelly Sterling and Sean
follows [current junior and
defending Class AA state
champion] Grace Curran,
both families are fantastic
examples of how golf allows
for quality family time and
teaches great lessons along
the way.
“We have a collaboration
of juniors looking to contribute
as well. Jon Soldan,
Noah DeVries and Danny
Bolek will all be looking to
fill out our lineup when we
get ready to head into state
competition.”
For Lockport, the top four
scores against the Knights
were freshman Ben Sluzas
(36), followed by juniors
Nolan Weis (38), John Elsen
(41) and John Weis (44).
“The boys have been playing
better all year and just
had one of those days,” said
Eber of the matchup against
Central. “I fully expect them
to bounce back and shoot
better next time out. I was
very pleased though that
Ben and Nolan could put a
really good pair of scores on
the board tonight against a
really good team in Lincoln-
Way Central.
“We focus a lot of time on
short game and that let us
down, We failed to get up
and down when needed and
had some bad penalty shots
which hurt us [against Central].
But I know one thing
though, these boys will work
and they will be better.”
In the SWSC Better Ball
Shootout three days earlier at
Balmoral Woods, the Porters
placed second as the team of
Sluzas and John Weis shot a
1-under 71 to finish fourth as
a group.
Both teams saw plenty of
each other to end last week
and this week. Both the
Knights and Lockport ended
last week on Saturday, Sept.
2 at the H-F Co-Ed Classic
Invitational at Lincoln Oaks
Golf Course. This Saturday,
Sept. 9, they are both in the
Providence Invitational,
which starts at 7:30 a.m. at
the Sanctuary Golf Course in
New Lenox.

Griffins outlast Warriors on a gusty day
Tim Cronin, Freelance Reporter
Golf is a hard enough
game to play on a calm day,
but on a windy afternoon
when a gust is likely to come
along and tip over your golf
bag in your backswing, then
flip your hat off in the middle
of the next shot?
Then it gets crazy. On
the last day of August, it
was crazy, but Lincoln-Way
East’s veterans were able to
keep their wits about them in
the wind and earn a 177-202
victory over district rival
Lincoln-Way West on Green
Garden Country Club’s testing
Emerald nine.
“It’s been a rough one,”
Griffins senior Hannah Hill
said. “You’ve got to have a
positive attitude. You can’t
get down on a bad shot.
When you have one, just
bounce back.”
Hill scored 4-over 39,
birdie-free but with only two
bogeys and a double for her
trouble on a day when she
wasn’t feeling 100 percent.
You couldn’t tell it from the
golf, finishing with three
straight pars on an afternoon
when the Griffins and
Warriors played the fourth
through ninth holes first,
then the second and third,
and finally the first. She
rammed home a 30-footer
on the Emerald’s second
hole, then cozied home a
10-footer for par on the first
to be the only player to come
home in under 40.
“In tryouts I shot 37, but
other than that this is the best
of the year, so far,” Hill said.
She fired a 39 against West
in last year’s match at Green
Garden as well.
Hill’s score was six
strokes better than the 10-
over 45 fired by senior Sarah
Scheer, the best posted score
for West. Scheer, though,
collected a birdie on the

in drilling a 100-yard pitching

of the cup.
“You’ve got to know your
clubs, how far you can hit
them,” Scheer said. “Clubbing
up, I always do that. If
it goes over, it’s OK. I can
always chip back.”
Scheer was joined less

in the right wrist by a softball
during gym class. By the end
of her 8-over round of 43, it

“You’ve got to know the
direction, and you’ve got to
feel confident,” McAllister
said. “And not overswinging.
You might want to bomb
it out there, but you’ve got to
let the club do the work. You
can’t force it.”

Battle of undefeated squads end in Knights’ favor
RANDY WHALEN
Freelance Reporter
A couple of the area’s top
boys golf teams teed off
against each other last week
at a special location.
In the end it was Lincoln-
Way Central, with some very
steady scoring, that defeated
Lockport Township 145-159
on Aug. 29 at Joliet Country
Club.
The victory kept the
Knights (5-0, 5-0) undefeated
in both dual meets
overall and in SouthWest
Suburban Conference play.
It was the first dual team loss
for Lockport (4-1, 4-1). But
both teams found it neat to
play in a place they usually
wouldn’t get to golf at.
“We did not shoot our
best score [against Central],
but I was pleased with the
boys efforts on an unfamiliar
track,” Lockport coach Matt
Eber said. “We are grateful
we could get out and compete
on such a nice course as
Joliet Country Club, and we
thank Marty [Hetelle] and
the members for allowing us
to play there.”
Central coach Ryan Pohlmann
was also glad his team
got the opportunity to play
there. But he’s also happy
his team has preformed so
well as it’s already midseason.
“This has been an enjoyable
season,” Pohlmann
said. “We have a great mix
of guys on the team that are
talented and have worked
very hard in the off season.”
That showed against the
Porters, as the top four carded
scores were within a few
strokes of each other. Junior
Jon Soldan led the way with
a 35 to register medalist honors.
Freshman Sean Curran
(36), junior Brian Sterling
(36) and senior E.J. Charles
(38) were all consistent for
Central.

Lockport at Joliet Country Club. Photos by James Sanchez/22nd Century Media
“It is fitting that our seniors
E.J. Charles and Ryan
Nolan ... both have become
tremendous golfers and are
even better people,” Pohlmann
said. “E.J., having
transferred over from East
to Central and Ryan grown
up a Knight, they have come
together to become great
friends and teammates that
have worked together to create
high expectations for the
program this season. They
have truly encompassed
what the transition of students
has become.”
Charles is happy to be one
of the veteran leaders and believes
consistency is the key.
“Lockport is a solid
team, and we all played
well against them,” he said.
“We’re doing well, The guys
have just been consistent
and we have a good group of
players.
“Hopefully we have
enough guys that are playing
well at the end of the season.
As a team our goal is to
make it to state.”
That’s a good possibility

Central’s balanced attack hands Glenbard North its first loss
Knights maintain
momentum following
Silver Division win at
Plainfield North Invite
James Sanchez, Editor
The Knights girls volleyball
team is making up for
lost time.
They spent most of last
season going through the
struggles of gelling with
a team of new faces from
a rival school, new coach
and dealing with the loss of
some of their classmates to
the district boundary shift.
Their full potential was finally
showcased when they
upset No. 5-seed Joliet
Catholic at last year’s regional
semifinal — all the
way at the end of the season.
However, the takeaway of
last fall was the realization
of how good the girls can
really be. And that was the
mindset before heading into
the new season with its core
players returning.
“It was a little bit of a
struggle because of the transitional
year,” said coach
Mary Brown, admitting
some of the team were unable
to grasp what she required
of them. “This year,
the girls knew what to do,
we worked out all summer,
and they understand what
I expect out of them, and
these are the girls that are
willing to give it.”
And the girls know what
to expect out of themselves,
too. This has all translated
to a complete turnaround to
start of the 2017 campaign.
The momentum didn’t stop
when they coasted past
Glenbard North 25-19, 25-9
after a 40-mile trek to Carol
Stream on Aug. 28.
The dual-setter attack,
which Central employed
Lincoln-Way Central setter/outside Kylie Kulinski serves

Carol Stream. Photos by James Sanchez/22nd Century Media
last season, was effective
again with Kylie Kulinski
(12 assists) and Cassidy
Wyman (11 assists) nearly
tying in passing stats.
The Panthers (2-1), which
came into the home matchup
undefeated, stayed close
through the early stages of
Set 1 before Kulinski set
Wyman and Hannah Stacy
up for back-to-back kills,
followed up by another kill
by Wyman to break open
the 9-9 tie and never look
back.
“We started out sluggish,”
Brown said. “Granted it’s a
Monday and the long drive,
but I like that they kept
fighting. I liked that we put
it together. Unforced errors-wise,
we were plus-10
(first set) and plus-3, which
means that we made them
earn more than we gave
them. So, I was happy we
were able to play smart, and
we kept up and built up our
energy and didn’t give in.”
Seven of the 25 points
in Set 1 were scored when
Wyman was serving. Fittingly,
an ace from the senior
standout sealed the first set,
and the momentum carried
over in the second where the
Knights went wire to wire.
Libero Lucy Chesla (4 digs)
put the second frame out of
reach when the team scored
nine straight points from her
serve to put the Panthers in
their biggest deficit, down
15-3. Three of her four aces
came in that span.
Sophomore middle Layne
Stevens led the way with
five kills. Wyman was right
behind with four, and Kulinski
had three. That balanced
effort is what to expect from
the Knights all season.
“I don’t have any goto’s;
I don’t have any big
hitters,” Brown said. “It’s
no secret. We just have to
play scrappy, and we have
to play smart, and the girls
understand that. That’s the
way we’ve been successful,
and we got to keep that up.”
(Left to right) Kylie Kulinski, Michelle Burk and Morgan Markus survey the Panthers’
offensive set up before the serve.
Megan Barry gets in position to receive a serve.
The win moves the
Knights to 6-1 on the season,
with the only loss
coming against nationally
ranked Marist at the Plainfield
North Invitational Aug.
25-26. The loss moved them
to the Silver Division of the
tournament, and there, they
bounced back to win that
bracket, capping it off with
a three-set win over Lockport
25-19, 23-25, 25-18.
Now a year under
Brown’s system and tutelage,
Kulinski said the team
is more comfortable and
playing more freely, instead
of overthinking during
games, which has attributed
to the hot start.
“This year, we’re a completely
different team, and
everyone has a lot of energy,”
Kulinski said. “People
are positive, and people are
doing their part.”

Griffins answer back with a vengeance after Celtics’ opening touchdown
Chris Walker
Freelance Reporter
Providence could not
have asked for a better start
when DeShon Gavin busted
through the line of scrimmage
and past all of St. John
Vianney’s defenders for a
62-yard touchdown on the
first offensive play of its season
opener in New Lenox.
Unfortunately for the Celtics
the rest of the game and
these past two weeks have
not gone anywhere near as
well as they had planned.
After a hard fought loss
last weekend at East St.
Louis, the Celtics hosted St.
John Vianney from Missouri
but proved unable to stop
their offensive attack, losing
35-14 on Friday, Sept. 1.
What proved most frustrating
for the Celtics was
that they probably beat
themselves as much or more
than the Griffins did.
After Gavin fired up the
crowd on a night where the
Celtics honored back a true
American hero, Israel Del
Toro (1993), who re-enrolled
in the Air Force after
being severely burned over
more than 80 percent of his
body in an IED explosion
in Afghanistan, they made
mistakes that proved far too
difficult to overcome against
a team that won a state title a
year ago.
The Griffins answered
Gavin’s touchdown by scoring
28 straight points.
“It was a great experience
with everything before the
game, honoring the Purple
Heart and having the bagpipes
leading them in and
welcoming us in with a barbecue
and open arms,” Vianney
coach Paul Day said. “I
was so happy for our kids to
see this. Everything about
Providence is great. They
have an awesome program
with 10 state championships,
Providence wide receiver Dakota Kotowski stiff arms a
would-be tackler Friday, Sept. 1, during its home opener
against St. John Vianney in New Lenox.
unbelievable tradition and
fan support and are as classy
as can be.”
The Griffins tied the game
after marching down field
72 yards, culminating with a
7-yard run from Kyren Williams.
Then, the Celtics (0-2)
buried themselves with
all-too costly turnovers on
consecutive possessions.
A pick-6 from Providence
quarterback Caden Kalinowski
put the Celtics down
14-7 and a fumble from
Gavin provided the Griffins
(3-0) with excellent field position
and they only needed
three plays before Williams
caught an 18-yard pass from
Tionne Harris to make it a
21-7 game with still 5:37 left
to play in the opening quarter.
Hopeful to rebound from
those turnovers since the
night was still young, the
Celtics were forced to punt
on their next possession and
moments later, Williams was
at it again, busting through
Linebacker Mariano Sori-Marin tackles a ball carrier. Photos by Mike Lorenz/22nd Century Media
the Providence defense for
a 75-yard touchdown and a
28-7 lead.
“That beginning was huge
because they got some turnovers
on us in the third quarter,
but then their momentum
stopped,” Day said. “For us
to get those turnovers in the
first quarter, to get some
stops and to score was a big
turning point.”
Providence won the turnover
battle in the second half
as Steven Meyer snagged an
interception and Jack Halper
and Max Pignotti recovered
fumbles, but the Celtics
were unable to turn those
into points the same way the
Griffins did.
“We didn’t take advantage
of the few breaks that
we had,” Providence coach
Mark Coglianese said.
“They gave us a few opportunities.
We had some momentum
in the second half,
but we didn’t finish drives.”
The Celtics finally found
the end zone again on
Gavin’s 13-yard run midway
through the third quarter
to pull them with two
touchdowns, but the Griffins
countered with a 10-play,
time-consuming drive that
ended with Percy Mitchell
crashing into the end zone
on a short run to make it a
35-14 game.
“They’re very talented,
and they took advantage of
our mistakes,” Coglianese
said. “Across the board, they
are a very good team.”
It doesn’t get any easier
for the Celtics as they take
on St. Rita (2-0) next week,
and the Mustangs are playing
extremely well, coming off a
44-25 win over Rich Central.
“We know we’re going
into the (Chicago Catholic)
Blue division all are mustwin
games,” Gavin said. “We
just played two state champions
and when we executed
plays we played well and
when we made mental mistakes
we were in trouble.”
Now, the Celtics have to
get angry and the Mustangs
would probably like nothing
better than to send them to
0-3.
De’Shon Gavin sprints down the sideline for his second
touchdown of the game.
“We’re in an 0-2 hole but
we know Providence teams
have started bad and finished
great,” Gavin said. “As a
captain, I’m going to lead
this team and we’re going
to play with high-intensity
next week. We just need to
play consistently, make good
plays and nip the bad ones in
the butt. [St.] Rita is probably
the best team we could
play next. They don’t like us
and we don’t like them.”

Knights’ second-half adjustments down Warriors
Jason Maholy
Freelance Reporter
Lincoln-Way Central
coach Jeremy Cordell said
after the season-opening
shutout of Lake Central
(Indiana) that the Knights’
defense was going to win
games for the team this year.
Consider Central’s victory
on the road over district
rival Lincoln-Way West in
Week 2 one of those games.
The Knights’ defense held
the Warriors to three points
in the second half, and were
dominant in the fourth quarter
of a 27-17 victory on Friday,
Sept. 1.
The win was the Central’s
first over West in five
meetings between the New
Lenox schools. An estimated
4,500 fans attended the hardfought
contest.
The Knights limited the
Warriors’ offense to 46 yards
rushing and 206 overall in a
second straight impressive
performance to open the
2017 season. West roared
back from an early 14-0 deficit
to take a 17-14 lead on a
36-yard field goal by Patrick
Ayala with 7:39 remaining
in the third quarter; however,
they moved the ball past
midfield only once more
in the second half, and that
drive ended when Central
junior defensive back Gabe
Meyers intercepted Anthony
Senerchia deep in Knights
territory.
Senior linebacker Brett
Widule also picked off a
Senerchia pass.
“Our defense came up
with some key stops and a
couple key turnovers, and
they did a nice job of forcing
some throws,” Cordell
said. “We withstood some
punches, and that’s a football
game. When you have
two good teams, you have to
be able to take some punches
and keep moving on, and we
did that and our defense did
that, and we’re really proud
of those guys.”
The Knights’ prevention
corps did have some help,
including a rushing attack
that ground out 207 yards
against a solid West defense
that made Central work hard
for the bulk of that yardage.
Junior running back Justin
Ellis ran for a career-high 77
yards, with most of it coming
on a 57-yard sprint that
opened the scoring eight
minutes into the contest, and
senior quarterback Sam Pipiras
tossed a 17-yard touchdown
pass to Matt Pollack.
Central also scored on a
punt return for the second
straight week. Pollack followed
a caravan of blockers
54 yards to pay dirt to provide
the Knights a 10-point
cushion with 3:57 remaining
in the game. The play
silenced what had been a
raucous contingent of West
fans, and send Knights’ fans
into a frenzy. The Central
“D” did the rest from there.
West head coach Dave
Ernst was complimentary
of his opponent’s defensive
effort, particularly after the
Warriors took their first and
only lead of the night.
“They played really well
in the fourth quarter,” Ernst
said. “We were able to do
some things early, but by the
fourth quarter their D-line
was the difference – their D-
line and their [line]backers,
no doubt about it. We had a
hard time getting protection,
and by the middle of the
third quarter we couldn’t run
anymore.”
The Warriors didn’t help
their cause with numerous
penalties – including two for
unsportsmanlike conduct.
The penalties, combined with
some youthful mistakes and
Central’s strong defensive
showing, kept West pinned

on their half of the field for
most of the second half.
“In a tight game, you can’t
make mistakes in your own
end, and we did,” Ernst said.
“High school football’s such
a field position game, and
we killed ourselves with
dumb penalties. We had 30
yards in penalties on one
play when we had shot at
good field position, then another
unsportsmanlike conduct
penalty later.
“We had our chance to get
better field position, and we
ruined it ourselves.”
Ersnt was pleased with
his squad’s resilience after
they fell behind by two
touchdowns in the first half.
Senerchia completed 12-
of-32 passes for 167 yards,
two touchdowns – a 40-yard
catch-and-run by sophomore
running back Caleb Marconi,
and a 25-yard strike to
Alex Croft. Tight end Evan
Weygandt caught four passes
for 58 yards.
“They didn’t panic; they
fought back, and we had a
couple big plays,” Ernst said.
”They kept playing, and I
don’t think they ever didn’t
believe we weren’t going to
be able to score and win the
game. They kept fighting.”
West was down 20-17
when Pollock’s punt return
broke the Warriors’ back.
The senior running back
hadn’t fielded a punt all
night because of problems
seeing the ball in the lights,
but glimpsed an opening
down the left sideline – and
a blockade of teammates –
moments before he caught
the ball.
“I was actually thinking
about just letting it go, but
I looked up at it and looked
back down and saw I had a
Mike Morgan finds space while running with the ball
lot of space,” Pollock said.
“It was easy for me. I was
kind of able to just walk in
with all the blocks I got.
That was a big moment for
us. I think it kind of boosted
the defense, gave them momentum
to get a final stop.”
Pollack said the victory
was big for Central, which
has high expectations and
responded assertively to a
tough challenge on the road.
“West is a great team, so
if we can come in here and
beat a team like them we
can beat anybody,” he said.
“So I think it’s really good
for us and gives us a lot of
confidence.”

Providence’s boys soccer
team seemed to be in trouble
when Marian Catholic scored
to take a 4-3 lead with just
4:48 during the Saturday,
Sept. 2 nonconference match.
The Celtics, though,
showed they have the firepower
to overcome a late deficit.
After Jack McAllister tied
the game, senior Silvio Gkizas
scored his fourth goal of the
day with just 36 seconds left
to lift the Celtics to a thrilling
5-4 win in Chicago Heights.
“We’ve got to learn how to
play with a lead,” Providence
coach Dan Potempa said. “We
let them come back too many
times, but I liked the way our
guys responded after giving
up the goals.
“They kept fighting all the
way until the last minute to
get the win. You’ve got to
bury teams. I just wish we
wouldn’t wait until there were
30 seconds left to do it.”
The game-winner for the
Celtics (2-2) came when

Gkizas broke free down the
middle of the field. His initial
shot was saved by Marian
goalkeeper Kyle Rusin, but
Gkizas poked in the rebound.
“I had an open shot and
didn’t put it away, but the
goalie bobbled it back to me,”
Gkizas said. “I just made sure
to stay calm and finish.”
It capped a remarkable day
for Gkizas, who missed all of
last season with a broken left
leg and sat out much of his
sophomore year with a concussion.
He’s scored six goals
this season.
“Silvio is a game-changer,”
Providence coach Dan Potempa
said. “Having him back
adds so much to our team and
to our attack.”
Gkizas completed the hat
trick when he scored off a
Scottie Slocum pass to give
the Celtics a 3-2 lead with
14:05left.
Marian (0-4-1) fought back,
as Brian Mendez scored a pair
of goals less than three minutes
apart to put the Spartans ahead.
Mendez also had a hat trick.

McAllister knew the Celtics
needed to respond.
“We had to show what we
were made of,” he said. “We
didn’t expect this kind of
game. We kind of underestimated
them. We’ve got to
make sure we don’t do that
again.”
Providence was behind for
just 29 seconds before McAllister
tied it, putting in a rebound
after Jack Land’s shot
hit the post.
“I thought the ball was already
in the net (on Land’s
shot), and the goalie kind of
tapped it out, but they didn’t
call it a goal and I know to
always crash the net to make
sure we score, McAllister
said.
“This comeback showed
the character we have.”
After Mendez gave Marian
the lead 11 minutes in, Gkizas
tied it when he saw Rusin out
of the net and fired a shot in
from 55 yards out.
The match went to halftime
tied 1-1, but Gkizas scored
again six minutes into the
second half off a Cam Cutler

pass.
That lead lasted less than
seven minutes before Alfredo
Garcia tied it for the Spartans.
“There’s definitely some
things we need to do better
defensively,” Potempa said.
“We need to keep learning
and getting better as the season
goes on.
“Offensively, we’ve got a
lot of guys that can find the
back of the net. Silvio and
Jack did it in this game, but
(Slocum and Cutler) can definitely
do it, Jake Purvis can do
it. Even our center back Tristian
(Vidican) is a converted
forward and he can score. I
like all the weapons we have.”
The Celtics opened the season
by going 1-2 in the Windy
City Ram Classic.
After dropping their opening
game 3-2 to Joliet Central,
Gkizas scored both goals in a
2-1 win over Eisenhower.
Providence concluded tournament
play with a 5-0 loss to
Mount Carmel, the defending
Class 2A state runner-up.
“We’ve had ups and
downs,” Potempa said. “Playing
Mount Carmel was tough,
but I think it was good for us.
They play the game right and
my boys got the chance to see
that and see what they can
work on to play more like that.
It’s a learning experience.”
The Celtics are a veteran
squad. Eight seniors started
in the win over Marian, and
McAllister said it’s a tightlyknit
group.
“We’ve all played together
and we have good chemistry,”
he said. “We’ve got a good
core group of players that can
take us a long way.”
As Providence heads into
Catholic League play, Potempa
is searching for continued
improvement. He’s confident
his players have the right
mindset.
“The best thing about this
team is we don’t have any bad
attitudes at all,” Potempa said.
“Usually, you have at least
one or two. I have a bunch of
really good kids. Everyone is
willing to work and give what
they have for the team and
if we keep building on that,
we’ll get somewhere.”
