Stirring up conversation
Police officers meet
residents at regular
Coffee With A Cop
Joe Coughlin, Interim Editor
Policing is much different
than it was as soon as five
years ago. With the progression
of digital communication
and social media,
threats have taken on new
shapes.
That narrative was a main
subject of questioning received
by Tinley Park police
officers Thursday, Nov.
30, at Coffee With A Cop at
the Bremen VFW Post 2791
on Oak Park Avenue.
Detective Ray Violetto
was on hand and said more
than ever community vigilance
is important to community
safety, and the semiannual
Coffee With A Cop
encourages that.
“Today you need the
community and the police
to work together,” he said.
“The biggest issue today is
trying to get everybody to
understand policing.
“The community needs
to pay attention, lock their
doors and call police when
they see something strange,
something that makes them
uncomfortable. We live in
such populated areas; we
need people to be vigilant
and call.”
Coffee With A Cop is a
national event started in
2011 in California. Its purpose
is to interact with community
members in a casual
environment, encouraging
conversation and collaboration.
It expanded to Illinois by
2013 and was active in all
50 states by 2016.
The event occurs regularly
— multiple times a year
— in Tinley Park and moves
from location to location.
On July 22, it was held at
Cavallini’s in the Park.
It moved to the local
VFW thanks to the post’s
Richard Barton, a retired
Tinley Park police officer
who requested officers
come to the post. And coincidentally,
Barton used to
oversee Violetto, a 27-year
veteran of the TPPD.
With Violetto, Tinley
Park Police Chief Steve
Neubauer was one of five
members of the TPPD on
hand and was speaking with
Richards Grinius, of Homer
Glen.
Grinius, an active member
of the veterans community,
said he likes to make
an effort to meet and thank
first-responders whenever
Richard Grinius (far right) talks with Tinley Park Police Chief Steve Neubauer at Coffee
With A Cop Thursday, Nov. 30, at the Bremen VFW Post 2791 in Tinley Park.

he can. He also came ready
with a question about the
concealed carry law.
A concealed carry license
holder, Grinius wondered
the best way to approach
or notify a police officer if
you are legally carrying a
firearm.
“They have a tough job,”
he said about police officers.

Tinley hoping Loves Grows By Giving
F. Amanda Tugade
Freelance Reporter
Karen Beran has one
message for the Tinley Park
community: “The more
you give, the more you get
back.”
In fact, that mantra comes
as a reminder from Beran
on the importance of being
compassionate and lending
a hand, especially to those
facing adversities.
And that is where the donation
drive Love Grows by
Giving comes into play, she
explained.
The nearly month-long
collection, which will end
Friday, Dec. 8, benefits two
local nonprofits, Crisis Center
for South Suburbia and
the Tinley Park Food Pantry.
Items can be dropped
off at the Tinley Park Public
Library, 7851 Timber Drive.
“You give, and you receive,”
said Beran, a coordinator
for “Love Grows”
and a public information
and graphics manager for
the library. “I feel personally
everyone should help
their fellow neighbor in
their community. We’re not
all islands. We’re one big
village, and we need to help
each other, not beat each
other down.”
Food pantry director
Chuck Okresik indulged in
Beran’s sentiments.
“There’s just a natural
benefit that comes back to
somebody in the form of
knowing that they’re doing
something responsible for
their neighbors, and that’s
really who these people
are,” Okresik said. “They’re
our neighbors, and some of
them are in need. That need
comes and goes, as jobs
come and go, and we’re
here to help people through
the difficult times.”
The food pantry located
at 6875 173rd Place serves
residents from Tinley Park
and Orland Hills and is open
from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on
Wednesdays.
Okresik said roughly 55

families, or 180 to 200 individuals,
come every week to
gather some groceries, and
through “Love Grows,” he
hopes to replenish the pantry’s
supplies.
The food pantry’s wish
list comprises nonperishable
and nonexpired food
items, such as dry cereal,
cookies, crackers, boxed
pasta and potatoes, and
Hamburger Helper. A complete
list can be viewed
on the library’s website at
www.tplibrary.org.
For CCSS marketing and
communications director
Jay Capron, the meaning
behind this holiday collection
unfolds into another
message: He, along with the
center’s staff, want to give
their clients strength and encouragement.
CCSS is a Tinley Parkbased
organization that
works with and provides
resources for victims of domestic
violence.
“We have a 35-bed emergency
shelter, which is
[open] 24 hours, and we
work with clients across
the community who find
themselves in domestic
violence situations,” Capron
said. “We have screenings
at local hospitals, and
we also advocate for our
clients in local courtrooms
and throughout the area. We
help our clients in any way
that we can, when we can,
to get out them of the threat
of domestic violence.”
Because the center is open
to men and women of all ages,
Capron said suggested donations
range from baby diapers
to board games for children
to electronics for teens and
personal care items for all. A
complete list of CCSS’s wish
list can also be found on the
library’s website.
“A lot of people assume
that it’s only women who
are victims of domestic
violence, but that is not the
case,” he said. “We do have
men that are staying at our
shelter, as well, and we have
children, too.
“Sometimes, they come
here — the families and the
children — with nothing but
the clothes on their back because
they are in a situation
where they are living with
the provider in the family
that is the abuser. Because
of that, they can’t go back
home and grab everything
they need before coming to
the shelter. So, they come
here with nothing. It’s very
sad, and one of the things
we can do is provide hope
by giving them some of
those items.”
Capron said another option
for patrons is to participate
in the center’s adoptive
family program, which
takes on a more personal
approach and allows for
those involved a chance to
know each other. Inquiries
on the program can be sent
to Shani Smith-Walton at at
(708) 429-7255 ext. 138 or
ssmith@crisisctr.org.
At the heart of CCSS are
the clients’ growth, an opportunity
to reset and rebuild
their lives.
“That’s one of the most
exciting things that we see,”
Capron said. “[It’s] when
families come here and
[are] able to get into our
transitional housing program
and then break free
from violence, move on and
live independently.”
All in all, Beran, Okresik
and Capron shared that the
drive is a culmination of
their efforts to show care
and kindness.
Beran puts it simply:
“Love grows by giving.”
Culver’s doubles as

Culver’s of Tinley Park, 18248
Sayre Ave., has joined forces with its

hospitals and organizations that support
children in need. As a fourthyear
initiative, Culver’s continues its
tradition of spreading holiday cheer.
“Culver’s is proud to be a part of
this collaboration that allows us to

Consolidated High School D230 Board of Education
Stagg misconduct investigations continue
Jon DePaolis
Freelance Reporter
The fates of both a Stagg
High School coach and its
athletic director still were
up in the air Thursday, Nov.
30, as no action was taken
by the Consolidated High
School District 230 Board of
Education during its regular
meeting.
Stagg cheerleading coach
Bridget Guzior has been suspended
pending investigation
after allegedly sending
a text message with an inappropriate
word to one of her
cheerleaders, a violation of
school policy. Administration
recommended her dismissal
to the board of education,
but action on the item was
delayed after Guzior submitted
a complaint to the Illinois
Department of Human Resources
accusing Stagg athletic
director Terry Treasure
of sexual harassment.
At the October board
meeting, Board President
Rick Nogal said these allegations
were under separate
investigation.
While no action was taken
on either matter at the Nov.
30 meeting, held at Sandburg
High School in Orland Park,
two people spoke about it
during public comment.
“I understand you will not
discuss information about
your employees,” said Michael
Orloff, a parent of a
Stagg cheerleader. “I want
to be clear that my questions
are not such, nor should be
considered this in any way,
shape or form. These are
questions about protocols
and procedures that should
be consistent for all employees
of the district and that
they are all governed by the
same rules and regulations.
No names will be used.
“The athletic director of
Stagg High School was accused
of improper conduct.
Another female employee,
who is head coach for the
co-ed cheer at Stagg, was
accused of far less-serious
allegations and was removed
pending investigation.
“Why is this employee
not suspended pending investigation?
Why is there a
double standard for women
versus men? How can we
justify inaction when protecting
our students and
safety in our schools should
be Priority 1?”
Orloff also mentioned
another complaint against
Treasure, to which Nogal responded
by saying only one
complaint has been brought
to the board’s attention.
“We’re not aware of any
other complaints,” he said.
“Only one complaint has been
brought before the board, but
it is currently under consideration
and investigation.”
Jon Daniels, a coach and
teacher at Stagg, also spoke
during public comment.
“I’m just here in support
of our athletic director,
Mr. Terry Treasure,” Daniels
said, also referencing a
group of coaches from Stagg
in attendance at the meeting
in support of Treasure. “He’s
a good leader, a good person,
a good man. We’re just here
because we feel he does a
great job at our school. He
does a great job leading us,
and he does a great job for
our students.”
D230 estimates 2.5 percent
increase to tax levy
Also during the meeting,
D230 board members voted
7-0 to establish the estimated
amount of the 2017 property
tax levy in the amount of
$111.86 million — a 2.5 percent
increase from the 2016
tax extension of $109.13
million.
“One important thing to
note is that we do have some
expiring debt,” said John
Lavelle, D230 assistant superintendent
for business
services while presenting
the report to the board. “Our
2007B and 2008 bond series
ROUND It Up
A brief recap of Nov. 30 School Board action
• Several students were recognized for achievements,
including: Sandburg sophomore Elise Blinn, who
authored a book titled, “Colours of Friendship”; Andrew
student Seth Huizenga, who recently received the
Tinley Park/Frankfort Rotary Youth Leadership Award;
and Andrew students Cameron Bilek, Lauren Johnson,
Noelle Doody and Samantha Warpecha, a flute quartet
that will perform at a national showcase.
• Board members voted 7-0 to award a site drainage
improvement project at Sandburg to Bisping
Construction, of New Lenox, in the amount of $374,580.
• Also approved were curriculum changes for fiscal
year 2019. They include: a new freshman history
course called Global Issues; an update to Spring
2 for Heritage Learners; the addition of Spanish 3
for Heritage Learners; changing pre-requisites for
German 2, German 3 and German 4 honors classes;
implementation of new descriptions for several foreign
language courses; and the removal of nail technology.
are getting paid off and expiring
in conjunction with
this levy, so you’re going to
see the rate drop — not only
because of the rising [equalized
assessed value] but also
because we’ve paid off some
debt, which is a great thing.”
Lavelle said the tax levy
formula is using a 2.1 percent
consumer price index
number this year.
“We certainly felt that in
light of all of this discussion
and talk about a [potential
property] tax freeze, making
sure that we capture all
that the district is entitled to
in our levy,” Lavelle said.
“So, this levy reflects a 2.5
percent increase over what
was extended the prior year.
That’s a little different than
what you’ve seen in the past,
where we’ve just been asking
for what was extended in
the previous year and previous
levies.”
Lavelle said the district
cannot predict how individual
property taxpayers will
be impacted, because every
property changes in value
differently, depending upon
where one lives.
Nogal said the levy estimate
was discussed at the
October building and finance
meeting. Board member
Tony Serratore also expanded
on the discussion of
the levy at that meeting.
“The community members
understood what the
reasoning was behind it and
did not have any objection to
us going forward with this,”
Serratore said.
Nogal also clarified that
this was just “four-tenths
of 1 percent above the consumer
price index” to capture
some of the new construction
in the district. He
also asked Lavelle at what
amount the district estimates
that construction.
“We’re estimating about
$30 million,” Lavelle said.
“It was about $34 million
last year, so it could very
well be in the $30-$40 million
range, or it could surprise
us and do less than that.
But $30 million was used in

The more the merrier for Tinley’s Holiday Happenings
Four major events
downtown kick off
special season
Megann Horstead
Freelance Reporter
It is beginning to look a
lot like Christmas in Tinley
Park.
The moment people arrived
in the downtown area
over the weekend, Friday-
Sunday, Dec. 1-3, they were
surrounded by the sights
and sounds of the holidays,
thanks to the annual Tree
Lighting Ceremony, Holiday
Market, Tinley Toyland
Parade and Parade of Lights
that made it easy to get into
the spirit of the season.
Ushered in with the songs

out by the dozens on Friday
evening, Dec. 1, to kick off
the festivities at Zabrocki
Plaza and awaited the arrival
of Mayor Jacob Vandenberg
and members of the Village
Board of Trustees.
People huddled among
friends, family and neighbors
and sang carols — some they
recalled and others they welcomed
the aid of lyrics flashing
across a projector.
Others tried to grab a spot
near the tree and gazed upon
its pre-lit majesty while enjoying
the holiday music.
Jingle bells rang and anticipation
grew with the passing
of every tune, and members
of the crowd chanted, “Light
the tree!”
Vandenberg took to the
stage and thanked everyone
for coming out before introducing
members of the Village
Board of Trustees.
“Christmas is here, and
we’re here to celebrate,”
Vandenberg told the crowd.
The mayor informed people
of all the holiday events
occurring in town and went
on to provide a countdown to
the tree lighting.
Tinley Park’s Brian Cizas
was motivated to come out
for the tree lighting ceremony
this year with his wife, Lindsay,
and their son, Alex.
“I like Christmas, I like
decorating, and now that we
have a little guy, we try to
do a lot more stuff for the
holidays, family stuff for the
holidays,” Brian said.
The tree lighting ceremony
served as a first for the Cizas
family.

said, reflecting on the moment
the tree was lit. “It was
cool to be around all these
people while they did it.”
People snapped pictures in
front of the tree and others
went on to peruse the annual
Holiday Market and the nearly
30 booths lining the heated
tents near the Oak Park Avenue
train station.
From K9 Cookie Factory
and Paparazzi Accessories
to Reen’s Custom Creations
and Spartan Gourmet Foods,
vendors were equipped with
something for everyone.

Robin Murphy was enjoying
bits of conversation with
Missy Geibel and Kate Seery
between bits of chocolatecovered
pretzels inside the
heated tent.
“We do this together every
year,” Robin said. “We do a
lot of holiday things together.”
The group missed the tree
lighting ceremony this time
around, but they weren’t
planning to skip the holiday
market, which ran Friday
evening through Sunday.
“We’re probably going to
go buy the pretzels, but we’re
going to get a couple Christmas
ornaments,” Geibel said.
“We like the crafts.”
Geibel said they like to
support local business and
crafts.

Aldi becomes newest Tinley Park grocery
Orland Township Holiday
Program ready for donors

Area residents have
three opportunities
to give to community
Submitted by Orland
Township
Every winter brings more
and more challenges to residents
of Orland Township,
which serves a portion of
Tinley Park, but that did
not stop folks from coming
to the Township last year to
drop off donations for the
annual holiday program.
Braving those temperatures
and icy roads, residents
once again came through
with gifts: stuffed animals,
dolls, board games, coloring
books, scarves, hats,
turkeys, hams and more.
The 2016 Holiday Program
helped more than 400
local families last holiday
season, and this year Orland
Township hopes to do the
same.
Orland Township officially
has started collecting
donations for the 2017
Holiday Program. All donations
will be accepted at
the Township, 14807 S. Ravinia
Ave. in Orland Park,
between regular business
hours from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Monday-Friday and 8 a.m.-
6 p.m. Tuesdays.
For a complete list of accepted
items, visit www.
orlandtownship.org or call
(708) 403-4222.
Along with the Holiday
Program, Orland Township
also is sponsoring Giving
Tree and an Adopt-A-Family
programs to help families
in need.
Residents have been coming
in and choosing gifts to
purchase for children. Items
listed are suggested gifts,
and not all items are required
to buy. But residents
can consider purchasing one
toy and one article of clothing
that is listed on the gift
tag.
The last opportunity to
drop off gifts is between 8
a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Friday,
Dec. 9. Gifts should be
brought unwrapped, with
the gift tag attached, to the
Orland Township office.
For more information, contact
Lindsay Trost or Robin
Kassis at (708) 403-2222.
The Adopt-A-Family Program
is designed to enhance
the holiday season for less
fortunate families in Orland
Township by providing
them with new toys and
clothing. Participants can
choose a small family or a
large one. This is a popular
program for work, church,
schools and social groups.
For anyone who would
like to adopt a family or
needs additional information
on the Adopt-A-Family
Program, contact Lindsay
Trost or Robin Kassis.

Sheriff launches opioid
awareness campaign
Cook County Sheriff
Thomas J. Dart, who
serves much of Tinley Park,
launched Thursday, Nov.
29, an awareness campaign
on social media aiming to
shed light on the opioid crisis
while giving the public
a better understanding of
its victims and tools to help
those in need.
The Sheriff’s Awareness
Initiative’s first video installment
tells the story of a
woman who says her use of
prescription opioids led to a
powerful heroin addiction
that cost her everything.
The anonymous woman
volunteered to participate
in the initiative while in a
treatment program at the
Cook County Department
of Corrections.
During the coming
months, the Sheriff’s Office
will periodically release additional
stories, videos and
pictures on social media to
convey important messages
about the crisis.
“Every day we work with
people swept up by devastating
opioid addictions,”
Dart said. “To confront this
crisis, we all need to better
understand its scope, the
human beings impacted and
— for those not yet impacted
— how close it is to all of
us. While only one part of
the solution, informing the
public and changing minds
is an important battlefront
in the war we face.”
In Cook County last year,
1,091 people died, at least in
part, because of an opioidrelated
overdose, according
to the Cook County Medical
Examiner’s Office. That is
more people than gun violence
or car crashes killed
in the same time period.
The Awareness Initiative
has been created using existing
staff and resources at
the Sheriff’s Office.

Editor Joe Coughlin,

FROM THE ORLAND PARK PRAIRIE
New time, activities draw
big crowds to Holiday
Festival
It is a beautiful sight every
night in Orland Park, as residents
now can walk through
their very own winter wonderland
this holiday season.
The Village of Orland
Park’s annual Holiday Festival
and Tree Lighting Ceremony
has become an annual
highlight of the holidays for
residents of the south suburbs
and beyond. While still
honoring the traditions attendees
love, the 2017 festivities
— which took place
Nov. 26 at the Civic Center
— featured several new elements,
attractions and activities,
as well as a new start
time of 4:30 p.m.
Doreen Biela, special
events manager for the Village,
explained that Village
officials and staff wanted to
create a “Winter Wonderland”
feel to this year’s celebration
as a way to keep the
classic event fresh, fun and
festive.
“We came up with this
Winter Wonderland theme
thinking of residents enjoying
the grounds,” she said.
“We’re also focusing on
local entertainment, so we
have area high school and junior
high choirs strolling the
grounds performing. And,
we have a variety of dance
groups — including our junior
and senior dance groups
— performing inside.”

East girls basketball falls to
Montini Catholic in battle of
unbeatens
The Griffins are not going
to back down from playing
anyone.
That certainly included
last week’s opponent: Montini
Catholic. Coming into
this season, the Broncos
have won 13 straight sectional
titles and captured
eight Class 4A state trophies
during that span. While in
Class 3A, Montini won four
state titles, including three
in a row between 2010 and
2012.
The Broncos left their
first-ever meeting with Lincoln-Way
East Nov. 28 by
adding to that resume with a
63-28 victory over the Griffins
in a battle of undefeated
teams.
It was the 500th victory
for Montini coach Jason
Nichols, who did not know
that fact until he was told
by his athletic director, Tom
Lentine, on the bus ride
home following the game.
That total included 68 wins
at Trinity between 2000 and
2003 and now 432 since November
2003 at Montini.
Nichols undoubtedly will
add to his total this season.
He has another outstanding
team, and the Broncos’
size showed in dominating
performances by senior post
players Lindsey Jarosinski
(20 points, 5 rebounds,
4 blocks), who is a 6-foot-5
inch center, and Aaliyah Patty
(16 points, 10 rebounds,
6 blocks), who is a 6-foot-3
forward. Senior guard Iysse
Pitts (16 points) also contributed
for Montini (7-0).
Lauren Hunter had 13
points and grabbed 11 rebounds
for East (5-1). But
the senior forward did not
get much scoring help. Junior
guard Katchie Savic
scored all six of her points
in the first half, while senior
guard Carolyn Waleski
scored four second half
points for the Griffins.

FROM THE MOKENA MESSENGER
Police: DUI arrest leads to
pot, shrooms, pills
Brian S. Strzelecki, 34, of
114 Edison Road in Joliet,
was charged Nov. 3 with
DUI-alcohol, DUI-BAC
over .08, failure to reduce
speed to avoid an accident,
possession of a controlled
substance, possession of
cannabis 10 grams or less,
and causing an accident with
property damage.
An officer was dispatched
to a ramp at the intersection
of LaGrange Road and the
Interstate 80 to assist Illinois
State Police on a report of an
accident and potential DUI.
According to police reports,
the officer arrived to
find three vehicles parked
on the interstate ramp. After
checking to make sure
everyone was safe and did
not need medical attention,
the officer was informed that
State police were unable to
give an estimated time of arrival,
so the officer began the
investigation.
The officer approached
Strzelecki and smelled alcohol
coming from his breath,
police said. The officer then
issued three field sobriety
tests to Strzelecki, all of
which he failed, according
to the reports.
After placing him under
arrest, the officer reportedly
conducted an inventory of
Strzelecki’s vehicle. Police
found a mason jar containing
psilocybin mushrooms
and cannabis, according to
the reports. A further search
of the vehicle reportedly
resulted in the discovery of
two Clonazepam pills.
Strzelecki later was found
to have a BAC of .09, according
to the report.

Holiday Card Contest deadline fast approaching
Two weeks remain to

Media holiday love
Bill Jones, Managing Editor
You have seen it on all of
your favorite online shopping
outlets this time of the year:
Order by Dec. XX with this
form of shipping to get your
things in time for Christmas.
You inevitably miss that
deadline, and now you are
stuck paying an extra $10
for expedited shipping on
that darn new Eminem album
— why does he listen
to this stuff? — Jimmy could
have bought digitally if the
hipsters he’s fallen in with
this school year hadn’t convinced
him vinyl just has a
warmth that cannot be recreated
with ones and zeros.
So, we’ll offer you a similar
warning, because this is
one of those deals you just
don’t want to miss: The
deadline for the 2017 Holiday
Card Contest is but two
weeks away. And holiday
mail is an inexact science.
So mail soon if you want to
make sure your entry arrives
by our deadline.
In case you have forgotten,
here are the details.
We want to see your custom
Christmas cards (homemade,
unique, funny jokes,
cool envelopes), read your
year-end letters, and check
out your holiday photos and
drawings.
Whatever it is you do for
the people you love during
the holidays (PG-13,
please), simply address these
things to Managing Editor
Bill Jones, and mail them
to 11516 W. 183rd St. Unit
SW Office Condo 3, Orland
Park, IL, 60467. Make sure
the items somewhere include
a name and a phone number
at which we can reach you
— should you happen to
win the contest — as well as
your hometown.
We will accept submissions
through 5 p.m. Thursday,
Dec. 21. They must be
received (not postmarked)
by that day, so please make
sure to give yourself enough
time for holiday mail service.
The entries will be evaluated
by our editorial staff
and judged in two categories:
Best in Show and Funniest.
We will pick one winner in
each of the categories from
across all seven of the towns
covered by 22nd Century Media’s
Southwest office: Orland
Park, Tinley Park, Frankfort,
Mokena, New Lenox, Lockport
and Homer Glen.
In addition to awarding
prizes (detailed in the sidebar),
we plan to publish images
or transcripts of our
winners in print, along with
a few of our other favorites.
We do have three important
rules to follow.
• We are allowing only
one entry per household for
this contest.
• The entry must be from
this holiday season.
• Electronic entries are
accepted and can be sent to
bill@opprairie.com.
The good stuff
A look at the prizes to be awarded to one winner in
each of the categories

From The Editor
Hello again, Tinley
Joe Coughlin
Interim Editor
Don’t recognize that
half-smiling mug?
Well, that’s me, the
former and original editor of
The Tinley Junction.
Maybe — and I hope —
some of you remember me,
but if you do not, I was the
editor of The Junction when
it debuted in 2008 until mid-
2010, when I moved to the
north suburbs to launch our
second branch.
Since, I’ve moved on to
publisher of 22nd Century
Media (The Junction’s parent
company) and editor
in chief of our regional
magazine, Chicagoly (check
it out: Chicagolymag.com).
While we search for the
right, long-term fit for this
position, someone Tinley
Parkers deserve, I am happy
to pitch in as interim editor
and proudly report and
deliver the news to Tinley
Park residents — just like
the good ole days.
I loved covering Tinley
Park. I genuinely called it
my second home. (I’m a
New Lenox native.) Plenty
of news and events, a robust
arts scene, great schools,
and down-to-earth, honest
people: What’s not to love?
For me, it’s a return to
greatness, and you are the
greatness, and I’m glad to
be back, if only temporarily.
But enough about me, how
the heck have you been?
I’ve been away, but I’ve
been following along: A
new mayor, then another
new mayor and regime; a
water-meter controversy;
a closed high school; and
much, much more. I’ve got
some catching up to do.
What hasn’t changed,
I witnessed firsthand this
week, is the spirit of this
community. While out
and about, I took in a
few events, including the
Toyland Parade and holiday
market — wonderful, heartfilled
events.
It reminded me of what
endeared me to Tinley Park
in the first place.
For the next few weeks,
I’ll be running the ship
here at The Junction, and
while I’m at it, I’m looking
forward to hearing from you
and telling your stories.
Feel free to give me a call
(708) 326-9170 or email
(j.coughlin@22ndcentury
media.com) any time about
anything: news tips, story
ideas, questions about coverage,
concerns in the community,
or just to say hello.
It’s good to be back.

But for patients at Advocate
Children’s Hospital in
Oak Lawn, their wish is to
enjoy the normalcy of being
a child, as some have the
unfortunate circumstances
of spending the holidays
there.
Project Little Red Wagon,
an initiative started by
Homer Glen resident Laurie
Cepkauskas in 2016, is aiming
to provide all children
who have open-heart surgery
at Advocate Children’s
Hospital during the holiday
season with a teddy bear.
The bear, originally at a
cost of $46, is being sold
for $29 and will be donated
in honor of Cepkauskas’
18-month-old daughter,
Emily, who received two
open-heart surgeries in
2016.

Arts center hopes inaugural train show brings big crowd
Joe Coughlin, Interim Editor
It hit Julie Dekker like a
locomotive.
Dekker, the director of
the Vogt Visual Arts Center
in Tinley Park, was looking
for a way to energize
the gallery’s annual miniature
show. Then, during last
year’s show, she noticed visitors,
especially children and
men, flocking to the same
display.
It was a model train layout
from resident Pat Byrne.
“It was the hit,” Dekker
said of the train. “I’d been
waiting for a couple years
to change it up, and this was
it.”
That moment was the inspiration
for the 2017 miniature
train show, which
kicked off Saturday, Dec. 2,
and chugs through Dec. 20.
The decision to change
things up wasn’t easy for
Dekker. The miniature show
had featured dollhouses as
the December show’s highlight
for the past 14 years.
Dekker loved Vogt’s miniature
and dollhouse show,
and so did many Tinley
Parkers. But she said the
word “dollhouse” turned
some people off.
“It’s very dated,” she said.
And when the idea for a
train show first occurred to
her, she was all aboard.
“It was a no-brainer,” she
said. “This is going to be
successful. There’s something
about it.”
It helped that model trains
remind many of the holiday
season, and that Tinley Park
“truly is a train town,” she
said — something The Junction
knows all too well.
Inside the arts center,
17420 S. 67th Court, a
Christmas-themed train welcomes
front-door visitors to
a train-lover’s sanctuary.
The display cases are
filled with train artifacts
Julie Dekker, director of the Vogt Visual Arts Center, sits with a holiday-themed model train that leads off the exhibit, which runs through Dec. 20.

and historical model trains.
The walls are livened with
classic and modern photos,
many taken by Tinley’s Bob
Dietz, of real trains.
But that’s all the appetizer
to the main course:
About 10 model trains, of
varying size (or gauge),
whipping or moseying
around their respective rails
amid precise and imaginative
layouts.
Bruce Lorence, a 42-year
Tinley Park resident, was
happy to bring his S-gauge
model trains to the show —
so happy, in fact, he constructed
a platform in two
days’ time.
Lorence, who was wearing
a shirt that says “Bruce
Still Plays With Trains,”
designed a 1950s layout,
complete with camping
and farming scenes, a train
Donald Haley, of Tinley Park, speeds up his model trains
complemented with an open-land concept.
depot, checkered water
tower, ice rink and tavern.
He laughed while showing
off a figurine of a man laying
down outside the tavern
with a bottle of beer in his
hand and a newspaper covering
his face.
With the help of Lorence
and fellow train-lover Donald
Hanley, Dekker got all
the trains running.
Bruce Lorence watches his S-gauge trains round the track
of his 1950s layout.
The room filled with motion,
sound and even smell,
as one of the locomotives is
a steam engine.
It’s all very charming.
“Somebody said, ‘You
know, it’s going to get really
noisy in here.’ I said,
‘Good!’” Dekker said, adding
that the sound is part of
the charm that keeps visitors
engaged.

Seniors, teens unite in holiday celebration
Laurie Fanelli
Freelance Reporter
Each generation has a
unique understanding of life
based on its formative years.
When different age groups
come together in friendship
and fellowship the result can
be a special brand of higher
learning.
Students at Tinley Park
High School treated local senior
citizens Nov. 29 to a holiday
luncheon full of festive
energy, captivating performances,
delicious food, and
everyone’s favorite game of
chance, bingo. Along with
providing Christmas cheer,
the event gave the two generations
an opportunity to
connect and learn from each
other’s world experiences.
Associate Principal Dr.
Randy Couwenhoven has
helped to coordinate the
event for the past 11 years
that he’s been on staff;
though the luncheon has
been running annually for
more than 25 years.
“It’s being held at all four
of our buildings today, so
senior citizens within the
communities that District
228 serve have the option
to come to Tinley, Hillcrest,
Oak Forest or Bremen,” he
said. “It’s really a great opportunity
for us to showcase
what we do to a segment of
our population that might not
otherwise have the chance to
see these different aspects of
the school.”
Several student groups
collaborated to make the
2017 Senior Citizen Holiday
Luncheon a memorable one.
Student Council members
served as the official greeters,
while students from the
culinary program helped
to prepare and pass out a
holiday feast. The choir
performed several tunes, including
“Carol of the Bells”;
the Drama Club showcased
a scene from its winter
production of “Steel Magnolias”;
and the combined
band had students, faculty
and senior citizens dancing
to the holiday classic “Sleigh
Ride.”
Even the young children
of the pre-school program
stopped by to sing “Rudolph
the Red-Nosed Reindeer”
with a little help from their
high school buddies.
Tinley Park residents Jerry
and Elaine Hagemann have
enjoyed attending the luncheon
in the past, and they
stopped by again this year
to witness the newest talents
emerging from TPHS.
“We love the entertainment
from the students,”
Jerry said.
Every generation has its
own distinct qualities, and
Elaine was impressed by
the warmness of modern
teenagers.
“They are more friendly,”
she said. “They greet you
with smiles on their faces
and they like to mingle with
each other, too.”
Ann Fultz, of Country
Club Hills, likes choosing a
different District 228 high
school holiday luncheon
to attend each year to get a
glimpse inside all of the institutions.
“Now I’ve been to Tinley
Park and I’ve been to Bremen
and Hillcrest. I want
to try all four schools. Next
year I’ll go to Oak Forest,”
she said.
TPHS junior Emily Meister
welcomed local senior
citizens to TPHS as a member
of the Student Council.
“They all have a lot of
bright smiles and everyone
looks so touched to be able
to interact with all of us and
we all have a lot of fun,” she
said.
During her opening remarks,
Tinley Park High
School Principal Dr. Theresa
Nolan explained that though
we are living in a time where
the news is flooded with
negativity, she enjoys sharing
the good things that happen
within the walls of the
school with the community
at the annual Holiday Luncheon.
“I’m so happy to show you
how awesome Tinley Park
High School really is,” she
said before sharing alumni
success stories, memories of
years past and hopes for the
future.

The Dish
Comfort food a staple of All Aboard! in Frankfort
Nuria Mathog
Contributing Editor
When it comes to giving
customers an immersive
train-themed dining experience,
All Aboard! Family
Dining & Amusement goes
full steam ahead.
The interior of the Frankfort
restaurant is decorated
with railroad tracks and
signs, a locomotive mural
and a miniature train that
slowly chugs its way around
the dining area. Dishes are
served on a toy train that follows
an oval-shaped track
around the dining counter
and many of the menu
items play off the theme,
with chili and chicken tenders
listed under “First Stop
Starters” and a variety of hot
sandwiches categorized as
“Switchman Specialties.”
Restaurant owners Teffini
and Tony Chiuso have
been in charge since 2014,
when they purchased the La-
Grange Road establishment
previously known as Choo
Choo Johnny’s.
“I was in the food service
industry all my life, from bartending
to event planning and
serving,” Teffini said. “I lived
in Chicago, and when I got
married I moved here, and
there really wasn’t anyplace
for me to work. So, we just
decided to open our own place.
And this was for sale, and I
looked at it and I, for some reason,
fell in love with it.”
All Aboard offers customers
what Chiuso describes
as American-style comfort
food, dishes inspired by the
food she most enjoys.
“Everybody loves a good
burger,” she said. “Everybody
loves a wrap. We also have
quesadillas, tacos — we have
something for everyone.”
Two of the restaurant’s
most popular appetizers are
the hand-breaded cheese
sticks ($5.50) — long strips
of mozzarella cheese paired

The hand-breaded cheese
sticks ($5.50) come with
homemade dipping sauce at
All Aboard! Family Dining &

Chiuso said. “We make our
own corned beef in house,
our own barbecue pork. Everything’s
breaded here. Everything’s
made to order.
“So, things may take
a little bit longer, but everything’s
made to order.
There’s no shortcuts here.
We don’t really buy that
much stuff that’s already
made and processed.”
After the main course, it’s
time for dessert — a scoop
of ice cream, which comes
free with a kid’s meal, costs
$1.25 and can be served in
a cone or a cup. The restaurant’s
best-selling flavor, is a
strawberry, banana and Blue
Moon concoction called
“Superman, while other top
flavors include cotton candy,
birthday cake, and a cookies
and cream flavor containing
pieces of Oreo cookies,
Chiuso said.
All Aboard also features
a toy room for young children,
which includes a rideable
train on a circular track,
and quarter-operated arcade
games.
This month, the restaurant
is embracing the holiday
spirit with Breakfast Buffet
with Santa events scheduled
for the weekends of Dec. 9
and Dec. 16, Chiuso said.
“We do it every year,” she
said. “And it’s a breakfast
buffet. It’s $10 for adults,
$5 for a kid. ... Basically, it’s
got pancakes, bacon, eggs,
sausage, hash browns, toast,
cereal, omelettes.”
The restaurant also will
host a Lunch with Santa
Dec. 22 featuring items off
NEED
the menu.
Chiuso said she plans to
decorate All Aboard! for
the holidays, complete with
lights by the train track
where customers’ food is
served and a Christmas tree
encircled by a train.
“We just put like lights
everywhere, garlands, stuff
like that,” she said. “It looks
really nice at Christmas.”

Distinctive Home Builders Introduces New Craftsman Home Series
At Prairie Trails in Manhattan and WestGate Manor in Peotone!
Two new designs (with more to follow) are a direct result of buyer feedback
Two refreshing designs mark
the beginning of a new series
of Craftsman-style homes
available from Distinctive Home
Builders at its latest new home
communities: Prairie Trails;
located in Manhattan within the
highly-regarded Lincoln-Way
School District and at WestGate
Manor in Peotone within
the desirable Peotone School
District.
“Craftsman homes were
introduced in the early 1900s
in California with designs
based on a simpler, functional
aesthetic using a higher level
of craftsmanship and natural
materials. These homes were a
departure from homes that were
mass produced from that era,
“according to Bryan Nooner,
president of Distinctive Home
Builders.
“The Craftsman design has
made a comeback today for
many of the same reasons it
started over a century ago. Our
customers want to live in a home
that gets away from the “mass
produced” look and live in a
home that has more character. As
a result of our daily interaction
with our homeowners and their
input, we are excited to introduce
these two homes, with additional
designs in the works.”
Nooner, who meets with
each homeowner prior to
construction, has been working
on these plans for a while and felt
that the timing was ideal for the
debut. “Customers were asking
for something different and
simple with less monotony and
higher architectural standards.”
The result was the Craftsman
ranch and the Prairie twostory,
now available at Prairie
Trails and WestGate Manor.
The Craftsman ranch features
an open floor plan with Great
Room, three bedrooms, two
baths and a two-car (optional
three-car) garage. The Prairie
features a two-story foyer and
Great Room, three bedrooms
and one and one-half baths, a
convenient Flex Room space
on the main level and a two-car
(optional three-car) garage. The
Craftsman architectural elements
on both homes include brick and
stone exteriors with cedar shake
accent siding, low-pitched gabled
bracket roofs, front porches with
tapered columns and stone piers,
partially paned windows, and a
standard panel front entry door.
Distinctive Home Builders
offers a Craftsman-style trim
package offering trim without
ornate profiles and routers. The
trim features simplicity in design
with rectangles, straight lines and
layered look trims over doors for
example. The front entry door
will have the standard Craftsman
panel style door. Distinctive has
also created a Craftsman color
palate to assist buyers in making
coordinated choices for the
interior of their new Craftsman
home. Colors, cabinet styles and
flooring choices blend seamlessly
with the Craftsman trim package
and are available in gray tones
package and earth tones.
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.
Distinctive Home Builders
works to achieve a delivery goal
of 90 days with zero punch list
items for its homeowners. “Our
three decades building homes
provides an efficient construction
system,” said Nooner. “Many of
our skilled craftsmen have been
working with our company
for over 20 years. We also
take pride on having excellent
communicators throughout our
organization. This translates into
a positive buying and building
experience for our homeowners
and one of the highest referral
rates in the industry.”
Nooner added that all homes
are highly energy efficient. Every
home built will have upgraded
wall and ceiling insulation
values with energy efficient
windows and high efficiency
furnaces. Before homeowners
move into their new home,
Distinctive Home Builders
conducts a blower door test that
pressurizes the home to ensure
that each home passes a set of
very stringent Energy Efficiency
guidelines.
With the addition of these two
new designs, there are now 15
ranch, split-level and six twostory
single-family home styles to
choose from each offering from
three to eight different exterior
elevations at both communities.
The three- to four-bedroom
homes feature one and one-half
to two-and-one-half baths, twoto
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 and concrete driveways
can all be yours at Prairie
Trails and WestGate Manor.
Most all home sites at Prairie
Trails and WestGate Manor
can accommodate a three-car
garage; a very important amenity
to the Manhattan homebuyer,
said Nooner.
“When we opened Prairie
Trails and WestGate Manor 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!”
Prairie Trails is also a beautiful
place to live and raise a family
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 less than a mile away.
Besides Prairie Trails,
Distinctive Home Builders
has built homes throughout
Manhattan in the Butternut
Ridge and Leighlinbridge
developments, as well as in the
Will and south Cook county
areas over the past 30 years.
Distinctive Home Builders
chose the Will County village
of Peotone for its newest
community of 38 single-family
homes at WestGate Manor
within walking distance of the
esteemed Peotone High School.
Its convenient location between
Interstate 57 and Illinois Route
50 provide easy access to I-80
and commuters enjoy several
nearby train stations and a
35-minute drive to Chicago.

Amber Furman is a senior
bowler at Andrew
High School. She won the
individual regional title last
season as a junior.
How did you get started
bowling?
My dad is a basically my
inspiration when it comes to
bowling. He’s been there for
me since Day 1. He was kind
of my coach as I grew up.
He taught me the strategies
of bowling, the mentality,
and … he’s basically my role
model, I would say. He basically
taught me the bowling
strategy and mentality and
all that. He’s my inspiration
because he’s a big bowler
himself.
Did you ever play any
other sports?
I played softball for 13
years. [Bowling and softball]
honestly did not go well
together, because I was a
pitcher in softball. So, when
it would come to bowling,
I would pitch the bowling
ball; and when I would go to
softball, I would bowl. So,
it took a lot of work to differentiate
between the two
sports.
What is your proudest
moment in bowling?
Definitely winning regionals
my junior year. Usually,
between the games, we can’t
look at our scores — the
coaches don’t like when we
look at our scores; only the
parents get to. So, my mom
was telling me the whole
time I was in first place the
whole day, because I was
shooting 258, 260. I averaged
220 throughout the
whole day. And my last
game, I shot a low 180, and
I needed to beat this girl
by eight pins after the fifth
game, and she shot lower
than a 180 the fifth game.
So, I was lucky. It was really
exciting, honestly. … It was
something I would never
[have] seen myself accomplishing.
What goals do you have
for this season?
I would like to place at as
many tournaments as I can.
I would like to place at all
of them, if I could. But I really
just need to work on my
mentality this year and making
my goals of placing at
conference, regionals, sectionals,
and then, hopefully,
making it to state as an individual,
if we don’t as a team.
What do you like the
most about bowling?
I love getting along with
everyone. We’re just a big
family. We all get along. We
have bonding nights together.
I just love the game of
bowling. We have pasta parties.
So, we have team dinners,
and then we usually go
out for frozen yogurt. And
we talk about what we have
to work on for the tournament
the next day and, if one
of us is down, how we’re going
to pick each other up.
If you won the lottery,
how would you spend
the money first?
Definitely donate it to a
child’s cancer society. I want
to work with kids like that
when I’m older, and I actually
did St. Baldrick’s for that,
because I want to help little
kids like that who struggle
with that kind of stuff. Because
if I were a kid like
that, I couldn’t even imagine
what my life would be. So, I
want to be able to help others
out.
After a long
tournament, what is a
perfect meal?
Oh, gosh. I love pasta, so
I would have to say coming
home or going out to eat to
an Italian restaurant to get
some pasta. Chicken Parmesan
or mostaccioli [would be
the perfect order].
What item or two that
you own could you not
live without?
Technology, of course,
which is probably a really
bad answer. And probably
my cats. I’m a big cat-lover.
[I have] two. One is Smokey,
and he is 10, and he actually
has cancer right now, so he’s
being a big lover to us, because
we think he knows
he’s sick. He cuddles a lot.
And if someone’s crying,
he’ll come up to you and
cuddle with you, make sure
you’re OK. And then, my
other cat is Gracson. He is 8,
but he’s the type of cat, right
now, who’s very stressed out
because we’re giving all the
attention to my other cat. But
22nd Century Media File Photo
he’s still definitely a lover,
but he’s more of a guard dog.
What is your favorite
subject in school?
Math. Honestly, there are
some days where I struggle
with it and I don’t really
understand the material, but
then again … I tell myself,
“You have to push through.”
This is the No. 1 thing I’m
going to need with nursing,
when I’m in my future
career, along with science.
But I’m definitely more of a
math person.
What is your dream
job?
A nurse. [I want to be in]
labor and delivery. I just
think it’s really cool, helping
others bring such a beautiful
human being into life. And
I really love kids. I really
wanted to work with kids. I
was in between neonatal at
first, but then I just thought
to myself that would be way
too emotional for me, just in
case something would happen,
and I would hate seeing
little kids like that. So,
I’d rather go into labor and
delivery.

Young Titans ready to rise to prominence
Despite defeat,
TPHS continues to
pick up confidence
Tim Carroll, Sports Editor
The Tinley Park girls basketball
team has youth on its
side.
With two sophomores,
point guard Theo Jones and
forward Emily Kleffman, in
the starting lineup Thursday,
Nov. 30, for the Titans’ first
home game this season, Tinley
Park is still in the process
of gaining confidence
and experience at the varsity
level.
The Titans lost 51-34 to
Shepard in the home-opener.
“Our starting lineup varies
a little bit, but, usually,
there’s two seniors in there,
so we have some leadership,
but we also have some timidness,
I think, that we’re
still playing with,” coach
Michelle Beary said. “Our
point guard is a sophomore,
and a lot of [the girls] are
meeting their competition
and above for the first
time, so it’s kind of a culture
shock for them a little bit.
But they’re definitely coming
around.”
The main problem for
Tinley Park against Shepard
was offense. Defensively,
the Titans allowed no more
than 12 points in any of the
first three quarters, prior to
a mild 16-point outburst by
Shepard, which pulled away
in the fourth.
But Tinley Park also
scored no more than 10
points in any quarter.
“Shooting has been a little
bit of a struggle from time
to time and in years past,
so that’s definitely a focus,”
Beary said.
Overall, the Titans shot 25
percent from the floor, with
their best quarter being a
5-of-15 collective showing
in the second.
Junior guard Kayla Serafini
(12 points, 4 rebounds, 3
steals) was responsible for
most of that second-quarter
offense, scoring four baskets
in the quarter.
Beary said Serafini
and senior guard Vejune
Sidaugaite, who did a bit
of everything for the Titans
against Shepard, likely will
be the two main offensive
threats this season.
“V is a very versatile
player,” Beary said. “Sometimes,
you see her in the
forward position. But she’s
definitely someone we look
to. We’ve got a couple outof-bounds
plays for her. And
... Kayla, she’s getting a lot
more confident with her shot
when she gets the ball inside,
so those two, I think, if
we can get those two on, every
game, I think our games
are going to be a different
story than what they’re turning
out to be right now.”
Sidaugaite scored eight
points, pulled in a team-high
eight rebounds and had a
team-high five assists. Many
of those assists were to Serafini
on her way to the basket.
“During water breaks,
[Sidaugaite and Serafini are]
always the ones out on the
floor, passing to each other,
shooting, playing around, so
it’s kind of part of that clicking,”
Beary said. “... Those
two are definitely a pair that
can really step up their game
out there and kind of lift up
everyone else.”
Serafini converted most of
her chances in the paint, but
as a team, the Titans struggled
with those shots.
Beary said the Titans offensive
performance in the
paint can be partially attributed
to the learning curve of
getting acclimated to varsity

30, in Tinley Park. Photos by Bob Klein/22nd Century Media
basketball.
“We had a couple on the
fly, down low, that I felt like
we were a little off from,”
Beary said. “We definitely
had a lot of missed shots in
the paint. … Down in the
paint, we were 8-for-25, so
that’s frustrating, because
those are shots that we work
on, those are shots that, at
our level, they should be
able to do those in their
sleep.”
Forward Hanah Remes
scored eight points for the
Titans and brought down
seven rebounds. She was
also the most efficient
shooter for Tinley Park, going
4-for-5 from the floor.
The Titans fell into an early
hole offensively, but they
tied the game at 11-11 early
in the second quarter.
After Serafini hit a pullup
jumper from the elbow to
Vejune Sidaugaite, who led the team with eight rebounds,

make it 11-9, Sidaugaite followed
with a steal that led to
a Remes’ score.
After falling behind 20-
13, Serafini had a steal and
coast-to-coast score, and
Sidaugaite threw a pass into
the post to a cutting Serafini,
who finished at the basket to
make the score 20-17 near
the end of the first half.
But that was the last time
the Titans drew within a
possession of Shepard.
It was a tough start to the
season for Tinley Park (1-5).
After a big loss to Stagg
to start the season, the Titans
were competitive in
the Beecher LadyCat Fall
Classic, falling 43-40 to St.
Laurence and 34-31 to Providence.
But Beary is confident
that her team will continue
to improve.
“We’ve had some really
tough competition, and
we’ve had to make … improvements
on the fly,” she
said. “... I’m really proud of
how they have stepped up,
and we’ve made progress in
such a short amount of time,
in just a couple weeks.”
Tinley Park next takes
the floor Friday, Dec. 8, in
a home matchup with Evergreen
Park.

Tim Carroll, Sports Editor
What a difference a week
makes.
After the Andrew girls
basketball team held on to
win 65-55 against Stagg
Nov. 21 during the Lincoln-
Way Central Tournament,
the third quarter was the
turning point Nov. 29 in a
rematch of the two teams in
Tinley Park.
“There was a difference
in the first three quarters of
the first game and then the
next five,” Andrew coach
Bobby Matz said. “They
had a great fourth quarter in
the game that we beat them.
They cut a big lead on our
end. … We had a 29-point
lead in that game.”
Things never got quite
that out of hand for Andrew
in its 55-40 loss Nov. 29. In
fact, the Thunderbolts were
down 20-16 at the end of
the first half, and if not for
Stagg forward Julia Matusevicius
getting an offensive
rebound and a putback
as the half expired, it could
have been a single-possession
game headed to the
second half.
But Andrew’s offense was
not in sync Nov. 29. The
Thunderbolts were a combined
5-for-23 from the field
in the first half, with guard
Kayla Langowski’s four
points off the bench leading
the first-half scoring.
While things opened up a
bit for the T-Bolts in the third
quarter offensively, Stagg
was able to accomplish even
Andrew’s Isis Fitch, who led the team with 16 rebounds,
drives to the hoop for a layup Nov. 29 during a game
against Stagg in Tinley Park.
Julie McMann/22nd Century Media
more. Andrew scored 13
points in the quarter, while
Stagg was able to put up 23
and get up to a 43-29 lead.
“In the third quarter, they
made a couple of those big
buckets, and we just ripped
apart at the seams,” Matz
said. “Whether it be our
cohesiveness, our fight, our
spirit, it kind of just oozed
out.
“Not only did [Stagg] answer
every bucket, but every
time we made a mistake,
they capitalized.”
But Matz does not see
lack of cohesion being
problem in the future for his
young team. Although many
of them played together last
season, they are still learning
each other’s tendencies.
“I think the key is playing
together,” Matz said. “We
have the girls that played
together last year, but we
made a lot of improvements
over the summer, individually,
and I feel like we don’t
all embrace the collective
skill set we have right now.
“I’ve been really pleased
with the skill development
of our kids, but I need them
to open up and embrace that
basketball is a lot more than
skill.”
One of the skilled senior
leaders Andrew will lean
on this season is forward
Amari Sims (11 points, 6
rebounds, 1 steal), who was
the leading scorer for the T-
Bolts. After being held to
1-for-2 from the field in the
first half, she was 4-for-8 in
the second half.
Despite the collective offensive
woes, the T-Bolts
looked good on the glass.
Matz said that rebounding,
in the past, has been a
weakness for Andrew. But
it is beginning to look like
it might become a strength,
with sophomore forward
Isis Fitch hauling in 16
rebounds and scoring 10
points.
“I just feel like, because
other things weren’t working
out, that I had to play
well in another aspect of
the game,” Fitch said. “So,
I had to crash the boards.”
Like her T-Bolts teammates,
Fitch had a difficult
offensive start to the game,
going 0-for-4 from the field
in the first half. But she
went up and got her own
rebound and a putback early
in the third quarter to keep
Andrew close at 27-22. She
got another offensive rebound
and putback, plus she
was fouled and converted
the three-point play, to open
the scoring in the fourth
quarter.
“She’s gotten a lot hungrier
for the glass,” Matz said
of Fitch. “… I think she’s
started to realize, ‘There’s
free points and a difference
I can make in the game by
being a good rebounder, because
I have height and I am
athletic and I can keep the
ball high.’”
As Fitch and Sims keep
pulling down rebounds, and
center Andrianna Sanchez
(2 points, 2 rebounds) contributes
more of the same,
the ability to rebound and
get putback points may become
a calling card for the
T-Bolts.
“Right now, that’s something
we’re lacking a little
bit,” Matz said. “We don’t
have an identity. We have
some talent, we have some
skill, but we don’t have the
consistency in any of those
things right now where you
would look and say, ‘That’s
Andrew basketball.’ That’s
something that we’re trying
to get the girls to buy into.”
Listen Up
“We don’t have an identity. ... We don’t have the
consistency in any of those things right now where
you would look and say, ‘That’s Andrew basketball.”
