New Lenox Village Board
Officials vote to assist the New
Lenox Fire Protection District
Board approves
preliminary plan
for Cooper’s Hawk
Manuel Ramos
Freelance Reporter
The New Lenox Village
board of trustees held its
biweekly meeting April 9,
and the most pressing item
on the agenda was the status
of the New Lenox Fire
Protection District following
a failed referendum on
March 20 that looked to increase
the tax rate for needed
funding. The failed tax
referendum forced NLFPD
to shutdown one of its four
fire stations, and cut funds
to community programs.
Mayor Tim Baldermann
prefaced the meeting to
community members in
attendance on how New
Lenox’s local government
operates, and what is within
its means of control. The
funding of NLFPD is out of
that control he claims. However,
he believes it is still the
responsibility of the board of
trustees to assure the safety
of residents and the businesses
of New Lenox.
“We have an obligation
as a village board to make
sure that our residents and
businesses are taken care
of,” Baldermann said. “That
includes the service that the
[NLFPD] provides.”
The board overwhelmingly
passed an intergovernmental
agreement that
provides a no-interest loan
of $450,000 to the NLFPD
to be paid this year. If the
NLFPD is able to pass a
tax referendum, incremental
payments will begin at
$50,000 a year over nine
years. Baldermann warned
that this kind of assistance
to other village agencies is
not sustainable for the future
of New Lenox because
NLFPD only services 55
percent of village tax payers.
“I just think it is the
[NLFPD] loan is the right
thing to do,” said Board
Member David Butterfield.
“We’ll just see how the
chips fall later.”
Community members
cheered for the approval of
funding because of the recent
events following the
closure of one of the fire
station. New Lenox has experienced
two separate fires
since the closure where one
resulted in the death of a
69-year-old man on April 6
due to injuries from a house
fire on April 3. The other
structure fire occurred on
April 4.
Trustee Annette Bowden
said she was told by residents
that they were simply
unaware of the consequences
of not voting for the referendum,
and if they had
known they would’ve voted
for the tax increase.
The meeting also approved
the preliminary plan
of a Cooper’s Hawk Winery
& Restaurants that is anticipated
to open its doors later
this year. Once operational,
representatives of the restaurant
believe it will hire
up to 150 employees, and
serve 4,000 to 5,000 patrons
weekly.

From April 12
Lawsuit alleges sex abuse by McGrath, neglect by Providence Catholic
Joe Coughlin, Publisher
Amanda Stoll, Assistant Editor
A former Providence Catholic
High School student has
come forward to allege he
was sexually abused by longtime
Providence President
Richard J. McGrath.
Bob Krankvich, 36, represented
by Jeff Anderson &
Associates and Frost Pearlman,
is the plaintiff in a lawsuit
filed Thursday, April 12,
against Providence and the
Order of St. Augustine that
claims both organizations
knew of the alleged abuse
and shielded McGrath.
In a press conference held
April 12, Krankvich, a Homer
Glen native, told his story
of how McGrath repeatedly
sexually abused him in 1995-
1996 and how the alleged
abuse led to personal troubles,
such as substance abuse and
mental instability, including
multiple suicide attempts.
“I’ve been living in shame
and in guilt for my entire
adult life,” Krankvich said.
“I’ve battled addiction, I’ve
battled suicide, tried hurting
myself many times because I
can’t deal with all of the pain
and all of the shame and all of
the guilt that comes forward
every day when I think about
this.”
Krankvich said he filed an
official report against Mc-
Grath with the New Lenox
Police Department in January,
not long after seeing a
news report about McGrath
resigning from Providence
amid a separate criminal investigation.
The investigation
conducted by the New
Lenox Police Department
regarding alleged images of
a naked, male juvenile seen
on his phone was closed mid-
February because of lack of
evidence.
New Lenox Police Chief
Bob Sterba confirmed
Krankvich’s January report
and said his department
concluded a thorough investigation
“four weeks ago”
and turned the case over to
the Will County State’s Attorney’s
Office, which will
decide whether or not to file
charges against McGrath.
“We left no stone unturned,”
said Sterba, who watched a recording
of Krankvich’s January
statement and said, “It was
a lengthy interview, and the
staff all agreed he was credible.”
Documents released April
12 by the law firm state
McGrath allegedly sexually
abused Krankvich “on
Broker - Management Team
“10”
multiple occasions,” when
Krankvich was approximately
13-15 years old. It states
incidents of sexual molestation
took place on the premises
of Providence.
The lawyers and the police
department said the abuse involved
both anal penetration
and oral copulation. Krankvich
said during the press
conference that the abuse occurred
both in McGrath’s office
at Providence, as well as
at the friary, where McGrath
lived.
The lawsuit alleges Krankvich
was not the only one Mc-
Grath abused during his career,
and that the defendants
in the lawsuit had knowledge
of McGrath’s behavior but
“failed to act on that knowledge
to protect children.”
It also states, more specifically,
that “inappropriate conduct
with children was known
to employees at Providence.”
Prior to his employment at
Providence from 1986 to December
of last year, McGrath
was employed at St. Rita
High School and Monastery
in Chicago, where Krankvich’s
lawyers say he served
on staff with at least four
other priests who have been
accused of wrongdoing.
During the press conference,
Krankvich’s attorney,
Jeff Anderson, did not detail
any specific evidence of
Providence Catholic facilitating
or hiding the abuse.
McGrath’s lawyer in a recent
criminal investigation,
Patrick Reardon, said April
12 he had not read through
the lawsuit and, until then,
was unsure if he would represent
McGrath and had no
comment. Following the
press conference, he said he
had no comment.
In a message to Providence
Catholic colleagues, obtained
by The New Lenox Patriot,
Providence President John
Merkelis wrote, “The lawsuit
was our first notice of these
allegations. Given that there
is ongoing litigation, we are
unable to comment further. ...
We wish to assure all of you
that the safety and well-being
of Providence’s students is
and will remain of the utmost
importance to us.”
During the press conference,
Krankvich said he had
not told anyone — peers or
those associated with Providence
Catholic — of the alleged
abuse until six years
ago when he told his family.
The attorneys said another
focus of the lawsuit is the Augustinian
Order, which, they
said, harbors accused and
convicted clergy.
Marc Pearlman noted while
priests of the Archdiocese of
Chicago have publicized a list
of its accused clergy, that list
does not contain Augustinians
or other order priests, such as
Carmelites or Jesuits.
The lawsuit specifically
accuses the Augustinian Order
of “negligence and/or
deception and concealment”
of McGrath’s alleged actions.
The lawsuit seeks a court
order “requiring Augustinians
to publicly release identities,
histories and documents regarding
each accused child
molesting cleric and each
such cleric’s pattern of grooming
and sexual behavior,” as
well as “an amount in excess
of the jurisdictional limits of
this court and such other relief
as this court deems just and
equitable” related to the accusations
of negligence, noting
that is in excess of $50,000.
In a written statement issued
after the press conference,
the Very Rev. Bernard
C. Scianna, prior provincial
of the Province of Our Mother
of Good Counsel of the Order
of St. Augustine, detailed the
Augustinian process, noting
the order works with Praesidium
Inc. to safeguard minors
and an independent review
board makes recommendations
for a proper response to

all allegations of abuse.
Detailing his alleged abuse
During the press conference,
Krankvich said the
abuse began when he was
a 13-year-old freshman at
Providence Catholic.
Small and young for his
grade, he also was admittedly
troubled and occasionally
had discipline issues. But he
quickly received attention
from McGrath, the school’s
principal.
“I just felt special,”
Krankvich said. “I felt loved
by him.”
Krankvich said the abuse
began a “couple months”
later, and continued into his
sophomore year.
“In the 1990s, that priest,
that teacher, that principal,
that president of that school
repeatedly orally and anally
raped this child,” Anderson
said during the press conference.
Krankvich said he left the
school after being sent to
the office for disciplinary
action, where McGrath allegedly
threatened police action
again Krankvich and his
family if he told anyone of
the abuse.
“He had told me to remain
silent, to never come back to
the school, and that if I was
ever to talk about it he would
get my family or myself arrested
for doing the things I
had done,” Krankvich said at
the press conference. Afterward,
Krankvich said he fled
the school, literally running
from the New Lenox campus
to his home in Homer Glen.
After graduating from
Lockport Township High
School, Krankvich enrolled
in the Marine Corps.
According to his lawyer,
he was honorably discharged.
Krankvich said he then struggled
with his emotions, his
masculinity and even his
sexuality.
“I should have been this
manly man, but yet inside I
was feeling like a child —
like I was weak and couldn’t
handle anything,” Kranvich
said. “And, I tried to commit
suicide numerous times. The
only way I knew how to deal
with it was to mask my feelings
and my hurt with drugs
and alcohol.”
He said after years he finally
sought professional help,
which in turn helped him
“bridge the gap to be able to
talk about it.”
When he was roughly 30
years old, Krankvich said he
told his family of the alleged
abuse and first contemplated
coming forward; however,
he told the media, he was not

Fire victim remembered for hardworking, caring nature
Friends raise funds
online for New
Lenox’s Crabb family
Meredith Dobes
Freelance Reporter
Larry Crabb Jr. remembers
his father as a hardworking,
strong, funny, caring man
who never complained and
always took life as it came.
Larry Crabb Sr. was hospitalized
April 3 after his son
helped pull him from their
burning house in the 2200
block of Sanford Avenue in
New Lenox. He died April
6 at the age of 69 after suffering
smoke inhalation and
related complications.
He leaves behind many
family members and friends,
including Crabb Jr., who had
cared for his father for the
past half-year in his New
Lenox home.
Crabb Sr. was diagnosed
with Parkinson’s disease in
the mid-1990s, a likely result
of exposure to Agent
Orange during his two terms
with the U.S. Army in the
Vietnam War. He began to
develop dementia from the
disease.
Long before recent events,
when Crabb Sr. returned
home from his service, he
became a sheet metal worker
and a member of Sheet
Metal Workers’ Local 73.
He worked mostly for signhanging
businesses.
In his free time, Crabb Sr.
enjoyed hunting and fishing.
He would meet with friends
and family in southern Illinois
to pursue both hobbies.
“My mom always said my
dad couldn’t wait to have
kids,” Crabb Jr. said. “We
grew up in New Lenox on
Ogden Road.”
Crabb Jr. is the youngest
of three siblings. He remembers
his dad coming home
from work and spending
time playing with him and
his older brother and sister.
“When he’d come home,
it was like WrestleMania in
our living room,” Crabb Jr.
said. “We’d be tossing couch
pillows around. Another
thing I liked is when we
were in the swimming pool,
he’d cup his hands, and we’d
put our foot in there. It’d be
like, ‘One, two, three…’ and
he’d throw you up in the
air so you land back in the
pool.”
Crabb Sr. also enjoyed doing
home renovation projects.
Crabb Jr. said that by
the time the family moved
from his childhood home, it
looked like a completely different
house because of the
work his father did.
“He was never a complainer,”
Crabb Jr. said.
“He always rolled with the
punches. He was a hardworking
guy.
“I learned a lot from him
about working hard and that
you can always do whatever
you put your mind to.”
Another life lesson Crabb
Jr. learned from his father
was to always be kind to
people — to love and respect
people to feel love in return.
Since the fire, Crabb Jr.
said the outpouring of support
he and his family have
received from family, friends
and community members
has amazed him.
Crabb Jr.’s wife, Jackie,
has a coworker at Currie
Motors, Ha Pozos, who
launched a GoFundMe page
for the family.
“You don’t really realize
how much help you’ve got
until something like this happens,”
Crabb Jr. said. “We
felt so alone, at first. Just,
everything we have is gone.
And then we noticed one
day that was on there, and I
couldn’t even believe it. In
Larry Crabb Sr. (center), 69, of New Lenox died after
suffering complications from a fire at his home.
the days that had passed, already
the amount that it’s at is
kind of unbelievable to me.”
So far, roughly 60 people
have collectively donated
more than $5,000 to the family.
The family immediately
needs food and clothing as
they work toward rebuilding
their life, Crabb Jr. said.
As of April 12, the cause
of the fire was still under
investigation. Crabb Jr. said
that the only lead he has
heard from investigators, so
far, is that a recalled charger
for a Microsoft Surface laptop
may have started the fire.
When Crabb Jr. returned
home to see his house on fire
April 3, he went inside to
bring his father downstairs
to safety.
“At the time, I couldn’t
breathe from all the smoke
in there,” Crabb Jr. said. “I
had to run outside. I never
wanted to leave him in there
for even a few seconds.”
When he exited the house,
he saw a utility locator working
near his home and asked
the man, who Crabb Jr. said
was named Brian Peel, to
help him bring his father to
safety.
“I could only imagine the
thoughts someone would
have to go through in their
head in those short moments
to help somebody with
something that would seem,
at the time, so horrible to go
into,” Crabb Jr. said. “I just
want to thank him for deciding
to help me do that. He
didn’t have to, but he did,
and I couldn’t say thank you
enough.”
Crabb Sr. is survived by
children Todd (Amanda)

strong enough to do so then.
This past December, when
he saw the news about Mc-
Grath leaving Providence
amid a police investigation,
Krankvich said he was compelled
to speak.
“How many other people
have been hurt by this predator?”
Krankvich asked. “I
wanted to give power to other
victims to let them know
they don’t have to live in the
shadows. They don’t have to
battle with addiction alone.
They don’t have to hide anymore.
You can come forward.
It’s completely wrong what
happened to you. You had
no power, and I want that to
be known that people like
this shouldn’t be let roam
the streets, they shouldn’t
be teaching our youth in our
schools.”
After the press conference,
Krankvich’s father, also Bob,
tempered his emotions and
only had a few words for his
son’s efforts.
“He is my hero,” Bob said.

Annual Spring Gala celebrates 10th year supporting library
Anniversary to take
place 7-11 p.m.
Saturday, April 21
James Sanchez, Editor
The Friends of the Library
will celebrate its milestone
year of the Spring Gala and
Fundraiser in style.
The annual event, which
is to take place from 7-11
p.m. on Saturday, April 21
at the New Lenox Public Library,
will have a more elegant
look than years past, as
it will have a “Breakfast at
Tiffany’s” theme to it, contrary
to last year’s event that
was tailored to Harry Potter.
The fundraiser has a different
look every year.
Amy Hollis, head of
adult services at the New
Lenox Public Library, said
Friends of the Library
10th Anniversary of
the Spring Gala and
Fundraiser
When: 7-11 p.m.
Saturday, April 21
Where: New Lenox Public
Library, 120 Veterans
Parkway in New Lenox
Cost: $30 online at www.
newlenoxlibrary.org, or
$40 at the door
• Must be 21 or older to
attend
to expect to see Tiffany &
Co. boxes and a lot of blue
around the library to play to
the movie. Even the event’s
signature martini, which
also changes every year,
called “Moon River” will
be blue.
“She [main character Holly
Golightly] was very classy
and fancy, so we’re going
with that kind of theme this
year,” Hollis said.
Featured entertainment
at the Spring Gala will be a
caricature artist, Tarot card
reader, photo booth and
music. And throughout the
event, guests can try their
luck in the silent auction
and raffles, which include
sports tickets and a package
of a free show at Lookingglass
Theatre Company,
along with a free night and
dinner at the Palmer House
Hilton, as prizes.
Another mainstay at the
event is the annual cork
pull, where participants
pull a numbered cork and
take home a wine bottle that
matches the number. Hollis
said 12 local eateries are
donating food to the event.
A cash bar will be on hand,
as well.
All the money raised at
the event, which Hollis said
on average is about $6,000
to $8,000, goes right back to
the library to help enhance
the resources it offers to the
community.
In the past, funds have
been used to buy prizes and
giveaways for the summer
reading program, pay presenters
to come to the library
and equipment for the
digital media lab, among a
variety of other areas, Hollis
said. The Friends of the
Library also hosts a book
sale all-year round and the
annual community rummage
sale at the Village
Commons in the summer to
further benefit the library.
“The Friends help us
out so much,” Hollis said.
“With this year, we’re trying
to do some bicentennial
programming for the
Illinois 200th year anniversary,
and so they’re helping
us pay for a bunch of presenters
throughout the year
just for that program. They
do a lot with the donations
that they get and money that
they raise. We’re able to offer
a lot more to the community
because of them.”

NLCPD receives grant for before and after school program
Submitted by New Lenox
Community Park District
The New Lenox Community
Park District has been
awarded a PowerPlay! Beyond
School Grant for the
ACES PowerPlay! Beyond
School Program. The grant,
awarded by the Illinois Association
of Park Districts,
is in the amount of $1,000.
The Park District’s ACES
program is designed to provide
a safe and structured
before and after school
program held at Spencer
Campus, Nelson Campus,
Tyler/Bentley and Haines/
Oakview schools. The program
sees more than 700
students per school year,
and is for K-6 students. The
program includes time for

James Glasgow is
pleased to announce the appointment

Colby will bring to the
Board of Directors a wealth
of professional experience,
a history of community involvement,
proven leadership,
and a deep commitment
to protecting children from
sexual abuse.
Glasgow, who chairs the
board, established the Children’s
Advocacy Center in
1995 as a not-for-profit agency
to improve investigations
into cases involving child
sexual abuse. When children
make an outcry of sexual
abuse, they are brought to
the center, where trained and
compassionate forensic interviewers
obtain an accurate
statement in a neutral, nonsuggestive,
and child-friendly
environment. Interviews
recorded at the center have
been used to successfully
prosecute thousands of predators.
In addition, the center’s
experienced staff provides
children and families with
advocacy, counseling, and
social services that enable the
healing process to begin.

Standout Student
Sponsored by Marquette Bank
MacKenzie Mahy,
Lincoln-Way West
senior
MacKenzie Mahy was
picked as this week’s Standout

What is one essential you
must have when studying?
I usually have my music
or the TV on, and my puppy
is always right by my side.
What do you like to do when
not in school or studying?
I usually have softball, but
when I don’t, I love to go
shopping, get my nails done,
or hangout with my friends.
What is your dream job?
I want to be a nurse, then
go farther in the medical
field into a specialty. I find
medicine fascinating, and I
love being around people.
What are some of the
songs most played on your
Spotify?
I usually listen to country
music. I like it because it reminds
me of summer.
Who do you look up to?
My mom. She always

people don’t know about
you?
I learned my ABC’s backwards

the experiences at the hospital.
What’s one thing that stands
out about your school?
Our school is special because
of the togetherness
that can be felt all across
grade levels.
What’s your favorite thing

to it.
What’s your favorite

Springfield.
Each year at the event,

Three outstanding Lincoln-Way
students and one
excellent Lincoln-Way leader
were highlighted during the
conference.
Amanda Pohrte, a graduating
senior from Lincoln-Way

responsibilities to a
fellow District 210 student.
Pohrte served as Lieutenant

“She has made more club
contacts and was able to
make more club visits than
any I’ve seen in ten years as
advisor,” said Lincoln-Way
East Key Club Advisor, Matthew
Jordan. As a 12-school
division, the I-I District is
one of the largest in the state.
Abigail Caskey, a Lincoln-
Way West sophomore, was
also highlighted during the
conference as she was sworn
in as Lieutenant Governor.
Caskey’s appointment marks
the first time in Lincoln-Way
West history that a Warrior
has assumed the Lieutenant
Governor’s post.
“I am ecstatic to start my
term,” Caskey said. “I plan
to unite all of the Key Club
schools in my division. I am
elated to see how this year
shapes me as a person going
forward.”
“We are proud to have our
first ever Lieutenant Governor
elected from Lincoln-
Way West,” Lincoln-Way
West Key Club Advisor
Brian K. Willis Jr. said. “Abigail’s
perseverance was the
‘key’ to her success, and we
know she will do a great job
in her new position.”
David Vargas, a Lincoln-
Way East sophomore, was
also elected to be the new
Treasurer of the I-I District.
This marks the first time in
30 years a District 210 student
will be part of the Executive
Board. Over the weekend,
Vargas held 10 caucuses
ahead of voting in order to
introduce himself and answer
questions from other Key
Club members across the
state.
“Words can’t describe how
excited I am to be the Illinois
Eastern Iowa District Treasurer
for Key Club,” Vargas
said. “It’s totally surreal to
me. My job as I-I Treasurer
is to look over the financials
for the District and make sure
that everything is in order. I
know it’s a huge responsibility,
however, I know with
my energetic personality, my
bubbly attitude and my ability
to work well with others,
I am able to accept the challenge
and get the job done!”
It wasn’t only District 210
students who received appointment
and recognition at
the event; during the conference,
Lincoln-Way East Key
Club Advisor Matthew Jordan,
was surprised to learn
that he had been chosen as
the Illinois-Eastern Iowa
Faculty Advisor of the Year.
“The kids surprised me by
submitting a nomination and
writing letters,” he said. “One
of the most rewarding parts
was actually getting to see
the letters they wrote.”
Unbeknownst to Jordan,
Pohrte began spearheading
the nomination packet in November.

FROM THE MOKENA MESSENGER
Board bids adieu to long-serving
trustee
It was a send-off befitting a legend.
The Village of Mokena Board
of Trustees bid farewell to Trustee
John Mazzorana April 9 during a
90-minute recognition ceremony
at the Village Board meeting.
Mazzorana, who had been absent
for several months due to illness,
returned to formally resign from
the position.
Reading from a letter he sent to
the Village Board informing the
members of his resignation, Mazzorana
said it was one of the hardest
things he has ever had to write.
In the letter, he said several
health issues over the past few
years have prevented him from
spending the time he believes is
necessary to represent the residents.
Mazzorana was first elected to
the Village Board in 1993. He was
elected seven consecutive times.
He thanked his “Village family”
for their kind words and the recognition.
He also went over what
he said were some highlights during
his time on the Village Board.
“Everything we do as a Village
Board is important, because what
we do affects all of our residents,”
Mazzorana said. “However, some
things we do, or are part of, are
more significant than others.”

FROM THE TINLEY JUNCTION
Suburban handcyclist wants to
inspire others through marathons
In 2015, John Cancialosi became
the first athlete to complete
the First Midwest Bank Half Marathon
on a handcycle.
Three years later and now training
for his third south suburban
half marathon, the Tinley Park
business owner is hoping to inspire
others facing physical challenges
by dedicating his efforts for
the second time on behalf of South
West Special Recreation Association.
A quadriplegic since 1982, the
result of a diving accident at 20
years old that damaged his lower
spine, Cancialosi, who owns Tinley
Park Kitchen & Bath Shoppe
with wife, Vicki, said his goal
May 6 in Palos Park is to prove
that anything is impossible in the
Southwest Half Marathon.
The passion began roughly seven
years ago, when Cancialosi was
diagnosed with a life-threatening
pressure sore and bone infection
that required surgery and nine
months of bed rest. While laying
in bed, John ordered his first
handcycle, and Vicki assembled it.
Seeing the finished product motivated
him through rehabilitation.
“I decided to reclaim my life,”
John said. “It takes a ton of
strength and endurance — your
whole upper body — to keep
cranking.”
Since then, he has completed
marathons in Carmel, Indiana, and
Canton, Ohio. In the south suburbs,
Cancialosi is the only handcycling
competitor, something
he hopes to change. As a charity
“runner” for SWSRA, a non-forprofit
that specializes in providing
recreation services for children
with special needs, John already
has surpassed his goal of $3,000
and has committed to matching
$1,000 for the cause.

LW East boys volleyball wins
battle with Brother Rice
Statement delivered.
Lincoln-Way East turned a
battle of Top 5 boys volleyball
teams in the state into a mismatch.
The Griffins came out and totally
dominated in a 25-18, 25-13 victory
over Brother Rice April 11 in
Chicago.
They also met in the third place
match on March 31 at the Wheaton/Warrenville
South Tiger Classic.
There, East edged the Crusaders
25-18, 24-26, 25-23. This
time around it was domination by
the Griffins (13-1), who came in
ranked No. 2 in the state.
“We took care of business,”
East senior outside hitter Ian Piet
said. “We played them close the
first time, and we wanted to come
out here and make a statement.
Between high school and club,
we’ve played against those guys a
lot. We know we just have to come
out and play well.”
Piet (7 kills, 2 aces, 2 blocks)
led the balanced attack. Mike
Herlihy (7 kills, 3 blocks) and
fellow senior middle hitter Luis
Zavala (ace, block, kill) helped
the Griffins register 11 blocks in
the match. Senior right-side hitter
George Kougan (3 blocks), sophomore
right side hitter/setter Trevor
Lewis (5 assists, 3 kills, 2 blocks)
and senior outside hitter Mark
Wroblewski (3 kills) helped lead
East to the big win.
The Crusaders (12-3), who entered
ranked No. 5 in the state,
were led by Tom Phelan (4 kills).

FROM THE HOMER HORIZON
Porters boys water polo tightens
defense late to edge past Knights
Water creates rust.
After not playing against an opponent
for 19 days, the Lockport
Township boys water polo team
had rust.
The Porters not only had a long
layoff but also four players, including
two starters, not at the
first game back, for a variety of
reasons.
But in the end, the Porters had
something else — defense and
Connor Hecker. The senior goalkeeper
and defense came through
big-time, holding Lincoln-Way
Central scoreless for the final 8
minutes and 18 seconds of the
game, and the team rallied for a
10-9 victory in a SouthWest Suburban
Conference clash April 10
at Lockport.
“Just trying to keep the guys
motivated and focused was unbelievable,”
Lockport coach Joe Lewandowski
said of the long layoff.
“But we were able to get certain
things done, like a lot of fundamentals
work that we can always
use.”
LTHS junior Tyler Thompson,
who led all scorers with four goals,
scored from close range with 29
seconds left in the third quarter to
close the Porters to within 9-8. He
then skipped a shot in for a score to
knot it up with 4:45 left in the game.
That set the stage for a chaotic
finish.
Hecker made nine of his 18
saves in the fourth quarter, while
Lockport’s Simon Harmata got
a pass to junior Michael Bates,
who scored what proved to be the
game-winner from the left side
with 1:56 to play in the game.

FROM THE ORLAND PARK PRAIRIE
Orland Park woman, 89, dies in
house fire
An 89-year-old Orland Park
woman died following a house fire
April 6 in the 7300 block of Paradise
Lane.
The incident occurred around 5
p.m. in the home’s kitchen, according
to a press release issued April
10 by the Orland Fire Protection
District.
The woman was identified by
fire officials as Margaret Keane.
She was found in the kitchen with
severe burns, according to the
press release. Paramedics reportedly
treated her and transported her
to Palos Community Hospital in
Palos Heights. She later was taken
to Loyola Medicine’s Burn Center
by ambulance.
Orland Fire spokesperson Ray
Hanania said the cause of the fire
was a meal Keane was cooking, but
beyond that it was still under investigation
as of April 10.
“The initial investigation suggests
her clothes caught on fire
while she was cooking, possibly
leaning over the stove,” Hanania
wrote.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s
Office ruled the causes of
death as complications of thermal
injuries, kitchen fire and hypertensive
cardiovascular disease, citing
the manner as an accident in the
April 10 case ledger. She officially
was pronounced dead at 12:55 a.m.
April 9 at Loyola.
The fire was contained to the
kitchen of the home, according to
the fire district’s release.
In the wake of the fire, the district
reminded residents to take caution
when cooking. Officials urged residents
to refrain from wearing loose
clothing and to have a fire extinguisher
nearby, as well as to never
leave food unattended on the stove.

FROM THE LOCKPORT LEGEND
Lockport mayor delivers annual
State of City address
Lockport Mayor Steven Streit
hailed the city’s improvements and
growth over the last year, telling
residents he and the City are in it
for the long haul to take steps to
reach their vision of a vibrant community
during his annual State of
the City address.
“People love Lockport, and they
are successful here,” Streit said
during the address he delivered to
approximately 130 residents and
dignitaries April 10 at the Roxy
Theater downtown.
Cindy DeNormandie, executive
director of the Lockport Chamber
of Commerce, said the turnout
was great and the theater was at
maximum capacity. The State of
the City address was the first event
held at the Roxy Theater since it
underwent renovations.
“I really want to support the
downtown through the construction
[by] doing what I’m asking other
people to do, which is supporting
the downtown,” Streit said. “I know
it’s not the biggest venue, and we
couldn’t have as many people that
wanted to come out, because of its
limited size, but it was about supporting
the downtown and showing
off Roxy and what they have done.”
During the ongoing reconstruction
of State Street, Streit said the
main goal is to not lose a single
business.
“We want to make sure we’re
supportive through this,” he said
during his speech. “Once in every
three generations, you get to redo
State Street. So, this is a very big
thing. We want to make sure we
do it right and want to make sure
we’re supportive.”

defeating Wheaton North
on April 9. As of April 9,
Lincoln-Way has the most
wins of any team in the state.
After its win over Wheaton
North, Lincoln-Way has outscored
its opponents 142-43.
Maxpreps has Lincoln-Way
ranked No. 5 in the state.
The team has quality wins
over Naperville North (No.
10) St. Rita (No. 13) and
Lockport Township (No. 14).
This is a team that lost
five starters but returned
back most of its best players
from last season’s club team
that made it to the final four
in the Class B division. I
made the hour-long trip
north to Mundelein to catch
the state semifinal game,
and although they were
outmatched by top-seeded
Carmel Catholic, I didn’t
see much quit, especially
from one player in particular,
Erik Vallow, who willed
himself to play, despite
having a badly injured knee.
Now Vallow is healthy,
and he’s playing alongside
talented scorers Ricky
Smith, George Burchfield
and Justin Thorpe, to name
a few, as well as returning
goalie Grant Shafer in front
of the net. Lincoln-Way
will have an even tougher
schedule down the road, so
it’ll be a surprise if this win
streak went from start to finish,
but the schedule is only
going to prepare them better
when playoffs hit. The team
was to play a 7 p.m. home
game Wednesday, April 18,
against Plainfield Co-op,
followed by road matchup
at Oak Park-River Forest at
5:30 p.m. the day after.
Next up is Lincoln-Way
Central girls water polo. I
covered them a lot last year,
and I saw how much of a
threat Nicole McCabe was.
Now she’s gone, and so is
Nikki Howe, who is now
playing college water polo.
Yet, the returners made
their natural progression
to fill that void. Caroline
Heathcock and Megan Cales
both upped their play, and
it helps to have an experienced
goalie in net with
Claire Connors. All three of
those girls were key cogs in
last year’s state-qualifying
team, and this year, they’re
leading the way to try and
make the trip back. During
one of their games I covered
this year, I asked one of the
referees who he thinks is
the best water polo team in
the southwest suburbs. He
said easily it’s Lincoln-Way
East for both girls and boys.
Well, the Knights beat the
Griffins 10-7 on March 28.
As of April 10, the Knights
are 11-4 and undefeated in
conference. If they keep this
up, the Knights are on their
way back to Stevenson for
the state playoffs, and I’ll be
glad to cover them for the
second straight year (third
year covering coach Pam
Dettman at state, as she was
an assistant at Lincoln-Way
North in 2016).
I’d like to give a shoutout
to both water polo programs
at Lincoln-Way West. The
girls (10-6 as of April 12) are
on their way in breaking the
program record in wins well
before the season’s over, and
the boys side (9-5-2 as of
April 11) could do the same
thing. First-year coaches Eric
Pavlacka (girls) and Lincoln-
Way alum Jacob Bernard
(boys) are doing a great job
with the program.
The third team that
caught my eye is Lincoln-
Way Central girls soccer.
As of April 11, the team is
8-2. It’s the same start to
the season it had last year
going 8-2, but the team
fizzled toward the end of the
season, ending the regular
season on a multiple-game
losing streak and losing to
rivals Lincoln-Way West in
the regional final. I don’t
see this team losing steam
at the end this time around.
It could possibly end with
a regional title, the team’s
first since 2014. Three-year
starter (started at East in
2016) Nicolette Gossage is
a scoring machine and has
a strong supporting cast
that includes Abbey Ward,
Audrey Bulow and a strong
defensive unit. Maddie
Melde has displayed her
knack to make plays as the
team’s assists leader, and
she can also score. Not to
mention, returning starter
Peyton Vecchiet has made
strides in front of the net.
Five of the team’s seven
wins were shutouts. West
stole the show last year with
its playoff run that extended
to the supersectional. This
year, both the Knights and
Warriors, who are 5-3-1 as
of April 12, will be sharing
the spotlight this time
around. The Knights do
have some bragging rights
as of now since they defeated
West on March 15 in
the Ram Classic.
I could go on and on about
other teams, but I’m running
out of space. But I do want
to add several honorable
mentions. The first one
goes to Lincoln-Way West
badminton, which is 13-7-1,
despite playing a tough
schedule and being without
arguably the best badminton
player in school history:
Cassie Ruettiger. Haley
Burns has filled in admirably
at the No. 1 singles role that
Ruettiger filled for the last
several years. Also, Lincoln-
Way West and Lincoln-Way
Central boys volleyball are
off to hot seasons as of late.
The Warriors, despite having
only two seniors on the
team, are 12-3 as of April 10,
and the Knights’ experienced
unit is 10-5.

I will work for cookies
Though of a certain kind
Seem to have a favorite
Helps me through the grind.
Please don’t give me raisins
They are of no delight
Disgusting little things
With each and every bite.
There is only “one”, I say
Brings a smile to my face
Chocolate chip, my heart’s
desire
In each and every case.
The chips can be chunky
Tiny bits or dark chocolate
Add some oats and nuts
Provides for a tasty palate
Bakery or homemade
Doesn’t matter either way
The ultimate prize a cookie

West grad set to take a lead role in Chicago opera
Edward Brennan will
play the part of the
prince in ‘Cendrillon’
Jon DePaolis
Freelance Reporter
The journey to becoming
a professional opera singer
has been a charming one for
Edward Brennan.
A 2011 graduate of Lincoln-Way
West in New
Lenox, Brennan is set to
take on the role of the prince
in New Moon Opera Company’s
production of “Cendrillon.”
Performances are
scheduled for 7 p.m. April
20-22 at Berry Memorial
United Methodist Church,
4754 N. Leavitt Street in
Chicago.
Written in 1904 by Pauline
Viardot, “Cendrillon”
is an operatic interpretation
of the story of “Cinderella.”
New Moon’s take on
the show will be performed
in English, with translation
work by Rachel M. Harris.
“It’s a different twist on
it,” Brennan said. “In the opera
world, there are at least,
off the top of my head, three
different versions of “Cinderella”
— probably many
more. It’s kind of fun to take
an opera that is done so often
and perform it in this setting.
Viardot wrote this as a
chamber piece, so it is written
for a smaller space. It’s
written for only a piano. We
are not having an orchestra
reduction. We’re doing what
it was written for.”
That smaller-scale production
plays well for Brennan’s
taste.
“This kind of a show really
gives me the opportunity
to really delve into [that
human connection], because
I think our space only can
hold about 75 to 80 people a
night,” he said. “It’s a very
intimate performance, and
that’s a lot of fun.”
Brennan, a tenor, is playing
the role of the prince.
“It’s been fun during the
process to delve in and see
what I can bring to [the
character] that’s more than
just the dashing, charming
character that you get in the
cartoon,” Brennan said. “In
this version of the story, he’s
a little more strong-willed,
I’d say, than in the cartoon.
He’s really out there looking
for someone who is going
to love him truly, and for
he himself and not just his
prince title.”
Getting into musical theater
Brennan didn’t get involved
in the vocal aspect of
music until high school.
“I had been in band
through grade school and
into high school, but [West
teacher] Thomas Venutolo
is the one who kind of
picked me out of the band
and put me into more of the
theatrical program, musicals
and choirs,” Brennan
said. “I was kind of thrown
in. With the opening of
West, the music department
was very small [at first]. Mr.
Venutolo, at the time, said
we needed more gentlemen
in our choir program and in
the shows. He [guided] me
from the first time he met
me to head into that direction.”
Because of his experience
in band, Brennan said he had
a strong understanding of the
musical side of things.
“I knew I could read the
music,” he said. “The singing
just fell into place.”
At West, Brennan performed
with the Madrigals,
as well as in productions
of “Bye Bye Birdie” and
“You’re a Good Man, Charlie
Brown.”
After high school, Brennan
attended the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
with the intention of
earning a degree that would
allow him to be a choir director.
Those plans soon
shifted.
“Along the way, a lot
changed,” he said. “I was selected
to be part of the opera
chorus down at U of I, and
that was my first semester of
my freshman year. They got
ahold of me, and that’s when
I got bit by the opera bug.
The rest is history.”
Brennan racked up experience
in production after production
in college, culminating
in him being cast as the
lead in two of the shows his
senior year.
Brennan said part of the
allure of being an operatic
singer is the difficult nature
of it.
“It’s something that going
into it, I know there will be
something to work on,” he
said. “Every day is a little bit
different. My voice is my instrument.
So, I don’t get the
luxury of putting it in a case
at the end of the day, picking
it up the next day and having
it be roughly the same. I
have to deal with every aspect
of my day and evening
and in life. That’s put into
the performance, and I really
like the connection that
brings to people that you
don’t get in a lot of other
aspects [of music]. When
you’re singing in an opera,
you’re not amplified. It’s just
you and your voice and your
audience. That’s a big draw
for me — that human connection
you get to make with
the audience.”
Finding success outside of
school
After graduating from
the University of Illinois
in spring 2015, Brennan
performed in several small
Performances of “Cendrillon” are scheduled for 7 p.m. April 20-22 at Berry Memorial
United Methodist Church, 4754 N. Leavitt Street in Chicago. Photos courtesy of New Moon
Opera
concerts with several musical
companies, such as the
Sinfonietta Bel Canto in
Downers Grove. He also auditioned
for and was selected
to perform with the Utah
Festival Opera and Musical
Theater. Last summer, he
performed with the Utah
Festival Opera as a principal
artist.
Then, while performing at
a concert at St. Jude, Brennan
said he met the artistic
director for New Moon
Opera Company, Stuart
Thompson — who also was
performing “as a ringer” in
the concert.
“He asked for a few recordings,
so I sent them to
him and he brought me onboard
for this project,” Brennan
said.
Tickets for “Cendrillon”
are $20 for adults and $10
for children (age 18 and
younger). For more information

Lincoln-Way West graduate Edward Brennan will play
the part of the prince in the New Moon Opera Company’s
production of “Cendrillon.” The show is an operatic take on
the classic tale of “Cinderella.”

Providence set to stage ‘The Addams Family’ for four shows
Nearly 90 students
contribute talents
to spring musical
Amanda Del Buono
Freelance Reporter
They’re creepy and kooky,
mysterious and spooky —
it’s the Addams Family.
Providence Catholic High
School is inviting the community
to come face-to-face
with this freaky and famous
family via its spring musical
production of “The Addams
Family.”
The show will take place
at Billie Limacher Bicentennial
Park & Theatre, located
at 201 W. Jefferson Street in
Joliet, from Thursday, April
19, to Saturday, April 21, at
7 p.m., and Sunday, April
22, at 3 p.m.
If not sold out, tickets will
be available at the door and
cost $10 for adults and $7 for
children and seniors. Prior to
the event, tickets can be purchased
by calling 815/717-
3323 or emailing theater@
providencecatholic.org.
Presale ends Thursday,
April 19. The show duration
is two-and-a-half hours with
an intermission.
The musical depicts the
story of Wednesday Addams
introducing her family to her
fiancé’s more typical family,
said Stacy Eckert, theatre director.
“It’s a show about family,
and that’s what our school is
all about,” she said. “… At
the crux of it, it’s about acceptance
and diversity and
accepting people who aren’t
exactly like you but are just
as wonderful.”
The show is family friendly,
with humor for both
adults and children, as Eckert
is a parent herself and
ensures that all of the productions
are appropriate, she
said.
The performers appreciated
the challenge of playing
a different type of role
than normal and are excited
to offer a performance that
is different than previous
Providence musicals. They
described the show as darker
and funnier than other
shows.
“I think the show is different
from other shows
we’ve done. … It’s darker
in a good way and humorous,”
said Abby Schaefer,
an 18-year-old Providence
senior and Mokena resident.
“… Be prepared to laugh a
lot, and be prepared for a
great show.”
Providence senior Madi
Jasper, 18 and a Joliet resident,
added: “We’ve done
‘Fiddler on the Roof’ and
‘The Sound of Music,’ and
those are very classic and serious.
We enjoy this, because
it’s very upbeat and fun.”
Providence senior Conor
Greenawalt, 18 and a Frankfort
resident, added that the
play offered the opportunity
to explore playing a different
type of role, one that is a
little bit darker.
“Everybody plays a different
role, and everybody is
different and weird. It kind
of describes how some of us
in theater feel,” he said.
Yet, it’s not just the script
that stands out. Josh Hecht,
a 16-year-old Providence
sophomore and Tinley Park
resident, said that the show
not only offers an entertaining
story, but also highquality
music and visual elements.
“There is a unique set;
it’s really interactive and
makes the show more enjoyable
to watch, as opposed to
other [sets] that are bland,”
he said. “The music, I can’t
talk enough about the music.
… The music is good, the
dancing is good, the singing
is amazing. It’s professional
quality, but we’re high
school students.”

The production is a result
of the efforts of nearly
90 freshmen through senior
Providence students, with
double casts, a production
team and orchestra pit
members, Eckert said. Auditions
were held Jan. 12, and
students began rehearsing
immediately. The students
rehearsed four times a week
leading up to the performance,
she said.
“It’s a delightful show,”
Eckert said. “The talent is
amazing. We have a double
cast. I had to double cast
because there’s so many talented,
strong, amazing students.”

The Dish
Chuy’s Tex-Mex offers a different kind of fusion
Amanda Stoll, Assistant Editor
True or False? Traditional
Mexican tacos are served
topped with cheese?
If you guessed true, you
would be wrong according
to Jose Salazar, general
manager at Chuy’s in Orland
Park.
Lucky for those cheeselovers
out there, Chuy’s
serves both traditional and
Texan-inspired dishes, and
some with a little bit of
both.
The chain started in Austin,
Texas in 1982 and has
nearly 100 locations, mostly
spread across the South,
East Coast and Central Great
Plains.
Hallmarks of the chain
include a nacho car, a selfserve
nacho bar situated in
the trunk of a Buick 1958,
and the chihuahua bar,
where visitors can bring a
framed picture of their dogs
to hang up and receive a free
appetizer to boot.
Salazar said last week
there were almost 300 pups
adorning the walls and bar
area, but he is hoping to get
that number up to at least
1,000.
One room is reserved as
the hubcap room, where
the ceiling in the original
location was painted purple,
and — because of the
owners’ displeasure with
the color — consequently
covered with a variety of
hubcaps.
Upon closer inspection,
the iconic purple paint can
be seen between the gleaming
hubcaps at the Orland
Park location.
Many of the same things
can be found at all Chuy’s
locations — including the
menu, nacho car, chihuahua
bar, indoor palm tree decor
and hubcap room — but the
artwork adorning the walls,
the design and layout are

unique to each location.
Most of the decor in the
restaurant is brought in
from Mexico, where Salazar
said the company tries
to support local artists, including
those who have
been making the more than
1,000 hand-carved wooden
fish on the ceiling in the bar
area.
Chuy’s opened March 27,
and so far Salazar said the
Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom
chicken enchiladas ($12.29)
have been among the most
popular menu items. He said
what sets the dish apart are
the fresh ingredients, inhouse
roasted chicken and,
of course, the Boom-Boom
sauce.
The Boom-Boom sauce,
one of a variety of sauce options
at Chuy’s, is made with
cheese, roasted New Mexican
green chiles, tomatillos,
green onions, cilantro and
lime juice, as well as some
“secret spices.”
The creamy jalapeño
sauce, although originally
served as only a salad dressing,
has become a favorite,
Salazar added. It is a ranchbased
sauce with a jalapeno
kick, and people put it on everything
from tortilla chips
to burritos and tacos.
Chuy’s even sells the
creamy jalapeño sauce in
32-ounce take-home containers

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.

New Arthritis Painkiller Works on Contact
and Numbs the Pain in Minutes
New cream works faster and is more targeted than oral medications. Key ingredients penetrate the skin
within minutes to relieve joint arthritis pain. Users report significant immediate relief.
By Robert Ward
Associated Health Press
BOSTON – Innovus Pharmaceuticals has introduced
a new arthritis pain relief treatment
that works in minutes.
Sold under the brand name Apeaz, the
new pain relief cream numbs the nerves right
below the skin.
When applied to an arthritic joint, or a
painful area on the body, it delivers immediate
relief that lasts for hours and hours.
The powerful painkilling effect is created
by the creams active ingredient, a special
medical compound.
Anesthetics are used in hospitals during
surgery. They block nerve signals from the
brain so that patients don’t feel pain and they
work fast.
The anesthetic found in Apeaz is the
strongest available without a prescription.
The cream form allows users to directly
target their area of pain. It works where it is
applied. The company says this is why the
product is so effective and fast acting.
“Users can expect to feel relief
immediately after applying,” explains
Dr. Bassam Damaj, President of Innovus
Pharmaceuticals.
“There will a pleasant warming sensation
that is followed by a cool, soothing one. This
is how you know that the active ingredients
have reached the infected joint and tissue.”
Works In Minutes
For arthritis suffers, Apeaz offers
impressive advantages over traditional
medications. The most obvious is how
quickly it relieves discomfort.
The cream contains the maximum
approved dose of a top anesthetic, which
penetrates the skin in a matter of minutes to
numb the area that’s in pain. This relief lasts
for several hours.
Additional ingredients in the cream help
suppress inammation around tissues and
joints. Published pre-clinical studies have
shown that the ingredients in Apeaz can
also prevent further bone and cartilage destruction.
There are also no negative side effects
from the oral medication. Apeaz delivers
its ingredients through the skin. Oral medications
are absorbed in the digestive tract.
Overtime, the chemicals in pills can tear the
delicate lining of the stomach, causing ulcers
and bleeding.
When compared to other arthritis
medications, Apeaz is a fraction of the cost.
At less than $2 a day, the cream quickly is
becoming a household name.
Those with terrible arthritis in their hands
and ngers, love how easy Apeaz is to
open. The jar ts in the palm of the hand,
which makes it much easier to use.
Instant Pain Relief Without
a Prescription
Many Apeaz users report signicant improvements
in daily aches and pain. Many
more report increased exibility and less
stiffness. They are moving pain free for the
rst time in years, like Henry Esber, and early
user of Apeaz.
“I’ve tried more pills than I can count.
I’ve also had a handful of cortisone shots.
Nothing is as effective as this product. With
Apeaz, I get relief right away. I rub a little
on my knees and some through my hands.
It keeps the pain away. It also prevents the
pain from getting really bad. It’s completely
changed my life.”
How It Works
“Apeaz contains the highest, non-prescription
dose of a medical compound that
ghts pain on contact. When applied to
the skin it goes to work within minutes by
Apeaz is an FDA drug with approved claims for the
pain relief of the following conditions:
• Arthritis pain • Simple back pain
• Strains
• Sprains
• Athletic injuries • Muscle stiffness and pain
• Wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, foot, muscle or joint pain
Apeaz: Quick Acting Pain and Arthritis Cream is Now Available Without a Prescription
penetrating right to the source of your pain,
numbing the nerve endings.”
“This is why Apeaz is so effective
for people with arthritis. It reduces pain
while adding an additional layer of joint
protection,” explains Damaj.
A New Way to Treat Pain
Although Dr. Damaj and his team say that
their cream is the fastest and most effective
way to relieve arthritis pain, they believe
there is still a reason to take joint pills. The
most effective are those which help to
further strengthen and support the joints.
That’s why every container of Apeaz
comes with ArthriVarx, a breakthrough pill
that’s taking on joint support in an entirely
new way.
ArthriVarx works on your joints, making it
the perfect companion to Apeaz.
“ArthriVarx contains special compounds
published to lubricate the joints and connective
tissues that surrounds them. With daily
use, they improve joint health and can give
an extra cushion,” explains Dr. Damaj.
“When combined with Apeaz, it becomes
the perfect system to tackle arthritis. While
the anesthetic component of Apeaz is working
on the outside, relieving pain on contact,
ArthriVarx is working on the inside, adding
cushioning to the joints”’
A Powerful Combination For
Arthritis and Joint Pain
With daily use, Apeaz plus ArthriVarx
helps users live a more vital, pain free life
without any of the negative side effects or
interactions associated with oral drugs.
By delivering fast, long-lasting, and targeted
relief from joint pain and reducing inammation
and swelling that causes joint damage, Apeaz
and ArthriVarx is the newest, most effective
way to tackle your arthritis pain.
You can now enjoy an entirely new level of
comfort that’s both safe and affordable. It is
also extremely effective, especially if nothing
else has worked well for you.

Athlete of the Week
10 Questions
with Delaney Janosek
Junior Delaney Janosek is key
player on the Lincoln-Way West
water polo and swimming team.
If you had to choose, would
you be a professional
swimmer or water polo
player?
I would choose to be a pro swimmer
just because I’ve been doing
that my whole life, and I just do
water polo on the side.
The Warriors girls water polo
team is already closing in on
the program record in season
wins. What’s been the recipe
to the team’s success this
year?
This year we got a new goalie,
Julia Mindy. She’s been really doing
a good job with us. Earlier this
year, we had six wins in a row,
which is way better than last year.
We are improving as the season
goes along. Last year, we were
separated as friends because new
people came over from Lincoln-
Way Central. We didn’t know them
as well, but this year we’ve been
doing a lot of team bonding, so we
all have been really good friends.
It’s made practice easier, and we all
cooperate together well.
What’s the best part about
22nd Century Media File Photo
water polo?
What I like most is that it’s a
group sport, instead of individual.
It kind of gives me a break from
swimming.
What’s something you would
want to change in water
polo?
I would change a rule to where all
players can touch the ball with two
hands. Right now, only a goalie can
touch the ball with two hands. I’m a
field player, so I can only touch the
ball with one hand, otherwise it’s a
turnover. I feel like it would be a lot
easier if we all could use both hands,
and it would change the game a lot.
What’s it like competing
alongside your teammate and
older sister, Cailey?
It’s been really fun with her by
my side, and she encourages me
along the way.
What’s your ideal splurge
post-game meal?
I would have to go with a cheese
pizza from Lou Malnati’s. I’ve
loved pizza ever since I was little.
Besides your sister, who’s
your favorite teammate?
It’s Julia Mindy. We’ve been visiting
the same college, St. Ambrose
University, and we both fell in love
with the school, so we’ve been
talking about that a lot. There’s a
good chance we’re going to the
same college, which is going to be
really nice. We’ve been talking to
their swim coaches lately, and they
think they’re going to make a club
polo team, so we’re going to be doing
swim and polo.
If you could own an exotic
pet, what would it be?
It would have to be a parrot. My
mom and I always wanted a parrot,
and we still do.
Who’s someone you would
like to be for a day?
I would love to be [Team USA
swimmer and six-time Olympic
medalist] Becca Soni because she’s
a hard worker, and that’s who I aspire
to be.
What are three things you
can’t live without?
My phone and my sister. I don’t
know what I’m going to do without
her next year when she goes to college.
Also, my friends because they
support me in any way they could.

A four-year college player
with 15 years of coaching
experience, Lincoln-Way
boys lacrosse coach Mike
McCormick knows a good
team when he sees one.
And for a team that’s returning
half of its starters
and best players from last
year’s final four appearance
in Class B play, McCormick
sees this year’s unit as such.
The proof is in the results.
Lincoln-Way is a perfect 9-0
on the season with its recent
12-8 win coming against
Wheaton North – a Class A
team last year – on April 9.
Rick Smith led the way with
four goals, three assists;
George Burchfield had two
goals, two assists; and Erik
Vallow had three goals and
an assist. More importantly,
Vallow won nine of 12 faceoffs.
Teammate Hunter
Lash won seven of nine.
“That’s a huge thing,” he
said about winning faceoffs.
“If you have a strong faceoff
man, we’re going to have
the ball more than most, and
then if you have a good goalie
who could control the ball,
which we do, we’re going to
have the ball even more.”
That goalie is returning
starter Grant Shafer. Mc-
Cormick said he had a lot to
do with the win, disallowing
any chance for Wheaton
North to make a run.
Through the season, Shafer
and the defense has only allowed
4.7 goals a game.
“I haven’t seen all the
goalies in the state, but Grant
is certainly superior to anyone
we’ve played against, in
my opinion, by a large margin,”
McCormick said.
On the flip side, the offense
has averaged 14 goals
per game, outscoring its opponents
126-39 this season.
Smith is leading the charge,
accounting for 27 percent of
the team’s scoring with 34
goals and leads the team in
assists (17).
“He has all the attributes
of a great player,” McCormick
said. “The engine
never stops. He’s extremely
confident. He’s quick as a
cat, and he has a great shot.
This year, he’s added another
dimension. He looks
much more to distribute the
ball than he did last year, and
he’s such a great competitor
that it kind of rubs off.”
Labeled as more defensive-minded
team last year,
McCormick credited his
more structured coaching
staff as the improvement
in this year’s offensive efficiency.
He hired his son,
Jack, to take over offensive
coaching duties to pair with
returning defensive coach
Tyler Jackson. Both assistant
coaches were four-year college
players. This move allowed
McCormick to oversee
the team better.
“The offensive coach last

year was not as good; that
was me,” McCormick said
with a laugh. “It gives me
the chance with two really
strong assistant coaches to
act more like a head coach.
I can move around and do
different things. I could be
more strategic than having
to focus on individual plays.
I could see more of the game
as a head coach.”
It also helps to have a
senior-laden bunch that
has postseason experience.
Coming from the Class B
pool, Lincoln-Way only
played roughly a handful of
Class A teams. With lacrosse
as an IHSA-sanctioned sport
and everyone on an even
playing field, its schedule
is more difficult. Lincoln-
Way has already played
three Class A teams, and of
the eight remaining games
left, four are from Class A,
including state semifinalist
Neuqua Valley two days before
playoffs.
McCormick prefers it that
way, adding that playing
teams they’re significantly
better than can create bad
habits because it’s easier to
do things than it should be.
“You don’t want to be going
into playoffs not being as
Lincoln-Way’s Erik Vallow leads the team in faceoff wins and success rate, winning 83
percent of his faceoffs through nine games this season. 22nd Century Media File Photo
sharp as you could possibly
be,” he said. “Having Neuqua
that last game is pretty cool,
and it’s a home game.”
McCormick doesn’t expect
to have a perfect season with
a much tougher road ahead,
but there’s still plenty of excitement
for this unit, and
now the lacrosse community
is beginning to take notice.
Maxpreps has Lincoln-Way
ranked No. 5 in the state. Last
year’s Class B team is among
the ranks of powerhouses
New Trier, Loyola Academy,
Fenwick and Saint Viator, to
name a few.
As much as it’s a credit
to the players and revamped
staff, McCormick said the
team wouldn’t be where it’s
at without the strong foundation
built through the years
at the club level.
“You cannot compete in
the highest level of lacrosse
without feeder programs,”
he said. “There’s probably
300 young boys competing
in lacrosse throughout the
Lincoln-Way school system.
...It’s always helpful when
guys get to high school that
you’re not teaching them the
game, you’re refining it.

Girls lacrosse
10 different players score for Lincoln-Way against Minooka
Steve Millar
Freelance Reporter
The Lincoln-Way co-op
girls lacrosse team started
fast and never looked back
in the game April 12, against
Minooka.
Lincoln-Way got goals
from 10 different players and
rolled to a 21-3 win at Lincoln-Way
East.
“Our fundamentals were
there,” sophomore Cait Dryzga
said. “We were working
together as a team, we were
moving the ball fast and the
defense just couldn’t keep up
with us.”
A trio of sophomores from
East led the way for Lincoln-
Way (6-2). Caroline Behrens
poured in six goals, Dryzga
finished with three, and Bella
Hernandez had a pair of key
early goals.
Seniors Hayley Brothen
and Grace Pawelczyk also
scored two goals each. Goalie
Elizabeth Myotte made
seven saves.
“It was great to see so many
girls scoring,” Behrens said.
“It’s amazing to have so many
girls who can do big things. If
someone’s off or having a bad
night, you can count on other
girls to step up.”
Hernandez, who’s typically
a defender, sparked Lincoln-Way
early, scoring on a
penalty shot just 85 seconds
into the game.
“I was really excited to
score that first goal,” she
said. “Sometimes if we don’t
get off to a fast start, we kind
of lose our motivation. So,
when we came out really fast
and really strong, that gave us
our motivation for the rest of
the game.”
Over the next three minutes,
Behrens scored twice
and East senior Maggie
Huizinga once to make it 4-0.
Lincoln-Way coach Wei
Chenh was thrilled with the
fast start.

a game against Minooka at Lincoln-Way East. Photos by Julie McMann/22nd Century Media
“We train these girls to set
the tone,” she said. “It’s huge
to get that first goal and it was
good to see someone who’s
normally on defense get it.
That’s a big deal.”
Lincoln-Way quickly
turned the game into a rout,
jumping to a 12-0 lead. After
Behrens converted on a penalty
shot to make it 5-0, Lincoln-Way’s
next seven goals
came from seven different
players.
Hernandez, Dryzga,
Pawelczyk, juniors Bailey
Simpson and Delia Dohm,
and sophomores Audrey
Zednick and Gabby Malec all
scored during the run.
Impressively, much of
the surge came with leading
scorer Behrens on the bench.
“It makes me happy to
see what our girls are doing
on the field,” Chenh said.
“They’re taking different
roles that they’re not used
to and succeeding, so that’s
amazing to see as a coach.”
Defensively, Lincoln-
Way was equally dominant.
Minooka didn’t score for
more than 18 minutes before
Meghan Angus broke
the shutout, making it 12-1.
Myotte wasn’t tested often
but came up with three huge
saves in the first half.
Lincoln-Way led 15-1 at
halftime following goals
from Behrens, Dryzga and
Huizinga.
“We played a lot of highpressure
defense,” Chenh
said. “We’ve worked a lot on
our footwork.”
Lincoln-Way stretched the
lead to 19-1 before Minooka
scored a pair of late goals.
Behrens and Brothen each
scored twice in the second
half, while Huizinga and
Pawelczyk chipped in a goal
apiece.
Minooka had no answer
for the Lincoln-Way attack,
which attacked the Indians in
a variety of ways.
“We have some main scorers,
but this game we were
able to get everyone involved
and get some new scorers,”
Hernandez said. “That was
great. It makes us really
tough to stop when everyone
gets involved.”
Hannah Laverty had three
assists for Lincoln-Way,
while Behrens and Huizinga
finished with two each. The
team shared the ball well all
night.
“We had a lot of great passes
and some great assists,”
Dryzga said. “We’re working
better as a team every game.
As the year goes on, we get
closer and that really improves
our game.”
Chenh said her team has
developed much more chemistry
than it had at the beginning
of the season.
“The girls are all working
together,” she said. “They’re
counting on each other and
trusting each other.”
Lincoln-Way dominated
possession throughout the
game and was often able to
turn a strong defensive stop
into a good look on offense
as it beat Minooka back in
transition.
“Our transitions were a lot
better in this game than in the
past games,” Behrens said.
“They were the best we’ve
ever seen them.”
The game marked the
halfway point of the regular
season for Lincoln-Way, and
Hernandez is optimistic the
team is headed in the right
direction for the latter part of
its schedule.
“We keep improving as a
team,” she said. “We’re just
going to keep getting better
as the year goes on and
getting stronger. This team
seems like a family. I love
how close we are.”
Audrey Zednick (44) gets past two defenders and scores.
Maggie Huizinga turns the corner to get past a Minooka
defender.
Goalie Elizabeth Myotte made seven saves on the night.

Boys Water Polo
Knights unable to hand Porters first loss with fourth-quarter miscues
Randy Whalen
Freelance Reporter
Water creates rust. Well,
after not playing against an
opponent for 19 days, the
Lockport Township boys
water polo team had rust.
The Porters not only had
a long layoff, they had four
players – including two
starters – not at the first
game back for a variety of
reasons.
But in the end the Porters
also had something else: Defense
and Connor Hecker.
The senior goalkeeper and
defense came through big
time, holding Lincoln-Way
Central scoreless for the final
8:18 of the game, and
rallied for a 10-9 victory in
a SouthWest Suburban Conference
clash on April 10 at
Lockport.
The win kept Lockport
(8-0, 2-0) undefeated on
the season. The Knights (8-
4, 3-3) played well, but just
couldn’t get their offense going
at the end.
“Just trying to keep the
guys motivated and focused
was unbelievable,” Lockport
coach Joe Lewandowski
said of the long layoff. “But
we were able to get certain
things done, like a lot of fundamentals
work that we can
always use. But we were also
short guys and missing six or
seven guys to the flu, but we
did the best that we could.
That’s probably why in the
beginning of the [Central]
game I was so stressed out.
We hadn’t played in 19 days
and were down two [starters],
so things were going to
be tougher since we had to
go deeper into the bench.”
Lockport did, but the
results were good. Junior
Tyler Thompson, who led
all scorers with four goals,
scored from close range with
29 seconds left in the third
quarter to close the Porters
within 9-8. He then skipped
a shot in for a score to knot
it up with 4:45 left in the
game.
That set the stage for a
chaotic finish. Lockport
mad multiple guys ejected
in the fourth quarter, but the
Knights couldn’t take advantage.
They either turned
the ball over or were turned
back by Hecker, who made
nine of his 18 saves in the
fourth quarter.
Hecker’s defense certainly
came through down the
stretch. With the game tied
and with the Porters in many
a precarious position being
down a man, the defense
stepped up. That allowed
Simon Harmata to get a pass
to junior Michael Bates, who
scored what proved to be the
game-winner from the left
side with 1:56 to play in the
game.
The Knights couldn’t get
the equalizer. A final opportunity
ended with Harmata
getting another steal with 11
seconds left in the game.
Thompson had a highlight
goal when he skipped one
in past senior keeper Chuck
Evans with four seconds left
in the first quarter to put the
Porters ahead 4-3. Junior
Declan Ruane added a goal
in the opening minute of the
second quarter to give Lockport
a 5-3 advantage. Hecker
then turned back a 5-meter
penalty shot with 5:43 to
play in the first half.
But Central’s Brian Mc-
Guire, and fellow seniors
Adam Ceh (2 goals) and Tim
Murphy (2 goals) tallied, as
the Knights rallied for a 6-5
halftime lead. Senior Ryan
Burke (3 goals) put Central
ahead 7-5. The Porters,
however, scored for the first
time in a span of 9:26. That
happened when senior Matt
Zalesko zipped in a pair of
goals in 23 seconds. The last
one of those, on a penalty

Township in Lockport. Photos by Adam Jomant/22nd Century Media
shot with 3:25 left in the
third quarter, tied the game
at 7-7.
Senior Jack Lyons and junior
Caleb Speechley added
first quarter goals for Lockport.
Murphy and senior
Josh Fox had third quarter
goals for the Knights, the final
one gave them a 9-7 lead
with 1:18 left in the third
quarter. That would be their
final tally.
“We had two tries at the
end to tie it, but couldn’t get
it done,” Central coach Patrick
Shaughnessy said. “We
[had] six games this [past]
week, so the guys are just
working on getting better.
We played really well, and
we’ve been clicking and are
starting to really get it. Ryan
[Burke] played awesome
and does so many things
for beside scoring. He’s our
leader and really showed it.
“But our eyes are on sectionals
and we have to get

better for that. The guys are
all working together. I told
them from the start, if they
want to win, they have to
work together.”
Central will be at the
Lincoln-Way East Sectional
while the Porters are at the
Metea Valley Sectional,
along with the top-ranked
team in the state: Naperville
Central.

Lockport Sectional loaded with area teams
Providence is the
only NL school to
host regional
JEFF VORVA, Contributing Editor
Providence Catholic’s unprecedented
baseball title
reign ended last year when
Sandburg knocked the Celtics
off at the Class 4A Homewood-Flossmoor
Sectional.
The Celtics had a postseason
23-game winning streak
snapped. They had won three
consecutive state titles, which
had never been done before
in the history of the Illinois
High School Association.
If the Celtics want to win
another state title in 2018,
they have a rough road,
which includes many area
teams standing in the way.
The IHSA announced its assignments
and the Celtics
plus six other 22nd Century
Media teams will duke it
out in the 21-team Lockport
Sectional. Lockport, Lincoln-Way
East, Lincoln-Way
Central, Lincoln-Way West,
Sandburg and Andrew are
also in the mix. Providence
is the only area team that will
host a regional.
Other teams in the sectional
are Eisenhower, Marist,
Bloom, Marian, Crete-Monee,
Homewood-Flossmoor,
Thornton, Joliet Central, Joliet
West, Thornton Fractional
South, Shepard, Stagg, Romeoville
and Thornwood.
In the April 2 edition of the
Prep Baseball Report state
rankings, six teams from the
Lockport Sectional are in the
top 25. Lincoln-Way East
was ranked sixth, Andrew
13th, Lockport 14th, Sandburg
17th, Providence 22nd
and Marist 25th. That means
at least two of those teams
will not win one of the four
regional titles.
In Class 3A, Tinley Park is
in the 10-team sub-sectional
of the Ottawa Sectional. The
Titans are joined by Thornton
Fractional North, Chicago

Park, Hillcrest, Evergreen
As a 7-seed last year, Providence shocked top-seeded
Andrew in the regional final with an 8-2 win and went on to
play Sandburg in an exciting high-scoring affair that ended
in a 12-10 loss. With plenty of returners and the Celtics
under the radar once again, they’ll be a team no one wants
to face come late May. 22nd Century Media File Photo

Knights open conference play clicking on all levels
Steve Millar
Freelance Reporter
The weather wasn’t the
only thing heating up April
11 in New Lenox.
Lincoln-Way Central’s
baseball team caught fire
offensively in its South-
West Suburban Red opener
against Bradley-Bourbonnais.
The Knights scored six
runs in the first inning and
rolled to a 12-2 win in six
innings.
“It was awesome to see
us come out and attack our
pitches early and put up six,”
Central coach Mitch Nowicki
said. “We could just
relax and play after that. We
coasted a bit in the middle of
the game, but I thought we
did a great job overall.”
The Knights (7-3, 1-0)
batted around in the first inning,
sending 10 batters to
the plate.
Leadoff hitter Aaron Andersen
started the rally with
a double, Jacob Blount was
hit by a pitch and Mike Roat
walked to load the bases.
Junior Dylan Post then
cleared the bases, lining a
3-2 pitch down the rightfield
line for a three-run
triple.
“I got two strikes on me
and I was able to foul off
a couple pitches and keep
fighting,” Post said. “I saw
the one pitch I liked and I
went down and got it. Luckily,
it stayed fair down the
line.
“Coming out and getting
six runs right off the bat was
huge. We hadn’t really been
hitting much this year, but
it’s starting to come around
now.”
After a wild pitch led to
another Knights run, senior
Danny Gross produced a
two-run single to make it
6-0.
The run support immediately
put senior starting

pitcher Matt Helwig in a
comfort zone.
“Getting those runs early
took a lot of stress off me
and let me just go out there
and pitch my game,” Helwig
said. “I wanted to come out
and throw strikes, let them
put the ball in play and let
my defense make plays.”
Helwig went four innings
to earn the win. He allowed
two runs, just one of them
earned, on four hits. He
struck out two and walked
one. John Van Gennep followed
with two innings of
scoreless relief, allowing
just one hit and striking out
two.
Helwig is making the adjustment
to starting after
serving as a reliever last season.
“It’s a different mindset
that I’ve got to adjust to and
hopefully I’ll keep getting
better as I go along,” he said.
“A game like this is huge for
me. It’s a great confidence
booster and puts me in a lot
better shape than I was in before.”
The Knights did not let up
offensively, putting up single
runs each inning between the
third and fifth.
After Post led off the third
with a single, Central was
able to manufacture a run.
Connor Barry, the courtesy
runner for Post, took second
on a balk, moved to third on
a groundout and scored on
Sean Harris’ RBI groundout.
Andersen’s second double
of the game drove in Kyle
Labedz, who had walked, in
the fourth to give Central an
8-2 lead.
Two walks and a balk
helped the Knights add a run
in the fifth, as Gross picked up
his third RBI of the game on a
fielder’s choice grounder.
Central ended the game
early by scoring three times
in the sixth to evoke the
10-run rule. Roat’s single
drove in Andersen, who had
walked, before Harris delivered
a walk-off two-run
double.
The Knights produced
eight hits and drew nine
walks in the game.
Nowicki said his team was
able to carry over momentum
from a trip to Louisville
the previous weekend,
when the Knights scored a
combined 24 runs over two
victories.
“With it being so cold
early on, it was tough for the
offense,” Nowicki said. “We
had a group trip to Louisville
last weekend where we got a
lot of hits. We’re starting to
see that comfort level in the
box and that confidence in
our at-bats.”
Lincoln-Way Central’s Matt Helwig was the winning pitcher April 11 over Bradley-
Bourbonnais. He went four innings, giving up one earned run, while striking out two.

Hitting the Eck out of the ball
Madison Eckberg
belts two home
runs to lead
road blowout win
James Sanchez, Editor
Lincoln-Way West softball
is making up for lost
time.
After four straight postponed
matchups, the Warriors’
first game of the month
came on April 10. Last time
they played was on March
29. The Warriors’ frustration
and eagerness was taken out
against Hinsdale South to the
tune 15-2 mercy rule win after
five innings in Darien.
The offensive explosion
started from the get go, as the
Warriors (3-3) batted through
its entire lineup in the opening
inning. Dani Callahan
made her presence felt right
away with a 3-run home run
to put the first runs on the
board. Callahan, who is coming
back from an injury in the
offseason, started as a designated
hitter the last two games
and was a pinch hitter before
that. Against the Hornets was
the first time this season that
the first baseman started on
offense and defense.
“For her to come up her
first bat and see her hit the
ball the way we know how
she could hit the ball, she’s
a huge asset to our team,”
Novak said about the senior
power hitter.
Six straight Warriors
reached base in the first inning.
Two batters after Callahan’s
homer, Melena Stemmler
knocked in Sydney
Swanberg with a double, and
Madison Eckberg followed
up in the next at-bat with her
first home run of the season
— a 2-run shot over the leftfield
fence — to complete the
six-run opening frame.
“We focus pitch by pitch,

Melena Stemmler —
especially Eckberg from her
first home run,” Novak said.
“She made an adjustment off
her first pitch to her second
pitch. She was able to hit the
ball hard.”
Eckberg didn’t stop there
and one-upped her first atbat.
The junior belted another
home run, this time a 3-run
shot, with two outs in the second
inning to essentially put
the game away. A three-year
varsity member, Eckberg
only had one home run on
the varsity level her first two
years. She doubled that total
all in one game.
“I was just focusing on the
ball and not trying to do too
much; just make contact,”
Eckberg said.
The large lead allowed
several of the reserves to get
in on the action. Hayley Sawyer
came in for Molly Ryan
and hit a pinch-hit 3-run
home run and added a single
in her final at bat to stay perfect
on the day. Sarah Bourell
came in for McKenzie Kroll
and finished her afternoon
with a 2-RBI single in her final
at bat. Amber Evans came
in for Callahan and knocked
in Emma Young with a RBI
single in the fourth inning.
All but one of the 15 batters
who played against the Hornets
reached base.
“We do have a great lineup
with talented hitters all
3-for-4, 2B, RBI, 2 R
Emma Young — 2-for-3,
2B, RBI, 2 R, SB; 3 IP, 2
K, 2 ER

Julia Noga — 2 IP, 2 H, 0
ER, 2K, 0 BB
throughout the lineup,” Novak
said. “Obviously the opportunity
to play here after
12 days, we definitely took
advantage of that.”
Freshman pitcher Julia
Noga, who is slowly spearheading
the young Warriors’
3-man rotation, threw two
shutout innings, while striking
out three. Emma Young
finished up the remaining
three innings, striking out
two and giving up two runs.
Young also went 2-for-3 with
a double, RBI and two runs at
the plate.
The Warriors finished
March with a bad taste in
their mouths after a 12-
11 loss to Bolingbrook on
March 29. The win against
Hinsdale South puts West
back on the .500 mark before
hitting a gauntlet in their
schedule through April 18.
They played, in order, Lincoln-Way
East, Lincoln-Way
Central, Oak Forest, Bradley-
Bourbonnais and Sandburg.
The Warriors may be in a
miniature youth movement,
but Eckberg said the team is
capable of competing against
the area’s top teams.
“I feel like we’re talked
down a lot, people saying
we have a lot of young girls,
but I feel like we’re all really
performing a lot better than
they thought,” Eckberg said.
“We’re proving a lot of people
wrong.”

Gossage notches fourth multi-goal game in last five matches
Goalie Peyton
Vecchiet earns sixth
shutout of season
Steve Millar
Freelance Reporter
With junior Nicolette
Gossage continuing to pour
in goals, and with a strong
supporting cast surrounding
her, Lincoln-Way Central’s
offense is clicking on all cylinders.
“Our attack, altogether,
has been great,” Gossage
said. “We’re working together
up top so well, getting
great opportunities and
we’re definitely finishing
when we get those chances.
We just all work so well off
each other.”
Gossage and sophomore
Audrey Bulow each scored
twice April 11 as the host
Knights rolled to a 4-0 win
over Homewood-Flossmoor
in a SouthWest Suburban
crossover.
“It’s great to see all the
girls stepping up and getting
the job done,” Central
coach Dan Radz said. “We
did a great job connecting
our passes and generating
some offense in the first half,
especially.”
It was the fifth straight
win for Central (8-2), which
scored 16 goals over those
five games.
The Knights wasted no
time getting on the scoreboard,
striking less than
three minutes in against H-F
(2-4).
Gossage got free down
the middle of the field, took
a through ball from Abbey
Ward, and buried her shot.
“Abbey’s through ball
was perfectly slotted,” Gossage
said. “It started from
the back and moved its way
up to her, and she played a
perfect ball. All it took for
me was just to touch it. Honestly,
it was all Abbey.”
Radz said his team perfectly
executed a play it had
been working on in practice.
“We did that drill in Saturday’s
practice and they ran it
just like we did in practice,”
he said. “They did it perfectly.
Abbey played a great
ball.”
Gossage scored again 14
minutes later. She took a
free kick from 25 yards out
and ripped a line drive over
the head of H-F goalkeeper
Kennedy Jones and just under
the crossbar to make it
2-0.
It was the 16th goal of the
season for Gossage, who
scored multiple goals for the
fourth time in the last five
games.
“She’s been unbelievable,”
Radz said. “The last
four games, she’s had great
patience. Earlier in the season,
she was dropping back
when the ball wasn’t getting
to her. I’ve told her just to
hang on up top and we’ve
got to find her.”
Radz said an example of
Gossage’s value came in
a game last month against
Shepard.
“I had Nicolette sitting
at the start of the game, because
I told the girls we’ve
got to find other ways to
score,” he said. “We can’t
depend on Nicolette to continue
scoring. We got down
2-1 and I had to put her out
there, and she goes out and
scores three goals.”
While Gossage was again
the hero early, Bulow was
the star in the second half.
The Knights took the 2-0
lead to halftime, but H-F had
the strong winds at its back
in the second half and dominated
possession early in the
half.
The Vikings nearly cut the
deficit in half three minutes
into the second half when
Mia Villamor-Thompkins
worked a nice give-and-go
with Josephine Bachus before
Villamor-Thompkins
fired just wide.
Villamor-Thompkins got
another look at goal five
minutes later, but Peyton
Vecchiet made a big save for
the Knights.
Momentum was squarely
on H-F’s side, and the outcome
was still in doubt, until
Bulow came through with
her first varsity goal with
17:46 to go.
After Shannon Klemm
played a long pass out of
the back, Gossage deflected
the ball toward Bulow in
the box, where she headed it
home.
“I would’ve never scored
that without Nicolette popping
the ball up into the air
like that,” Bulow said. “She
did that and then she yelled
at me to head it. If she didn’t
say anything, I probably
would’ve tried to hit it with
my body or something, but
I followed her instincts and
got my head on it.”
Bulow scored again with
3:19 to go, following up after
Gossage had her scoring
chance broken up by a H-F
defender.
“I saw the ball and I went
for it,” she said. “I kind of
felt bad. I was like this is
supposed to be Nicolette’s
goal, but I was there in the
right place.”
It was a great return for
Bulow, who missed the
Knights’ last two games with
a concussion.
“Our midfielders tend to
go side-to-side a lot,” Radz
said. “We want them to get
that mentality that if they’re
an attacking mid, they can
move forward and get in on
the attack. It was great to see
Audrey do that. She did a
great job.”
Vecchiet made three saves
to record her sixth shutout.
Lincoln-Way Central forward Nicolette Gossage clears the ball April 11 during a SWSC
Red match against Homewood-Flossmoor. Gossage scored two goals against the Vikings,
registering multi-goal games for the fourth time in the last five games.

Knights defender Dana Boucher pokes the ball away from a Vikings player.
Klemm, Leah Willner, Dana
Boucher, Lauren Limpin and
Megan Andjelic turned in
strong defensive efforts.
“We’re really flexible
with our lineup,” Vecchiet
said. “Everyone’s good and
can play different positions.
We’ve had some different
girls playing in the back, and
they’ve all done a great job.
I trust them all.”
The Knights have big
tests ahead. After Saturday’s
game against Normal West,
and a special cancer awareness
game Tuesday with
Lincoln-Way East, Central
will compete in the Naperville
Invitational beginning
April 19, facing a field
that includes several of the
state’s best teams.
“We’ve got a gauntlet
coming up,” Radz said.
“We’ve just got to keep going

In his first season as varsity
coach at the school, Lincoln-Way
West boys water
polo coach Jake Bernard is
realistic.
“Apparently we’ve never
had a winning season here,”
he said of West’s boys water
polo history. “So our goal for
the season is to have one.”
The Warriors took another
step toward that goal with a
win on April 9. But it wasn’t
easy as they scored twice
down the stretch and held on
for a 14-13 victory over the
District 228 Silver Snakes
at Bremen High School in
Midlothian.
Josh Carlson led the way
with four goals for the Warriors.
The win gave West
(9-5-2) more than half the
victories it had last season
when it had its best record in
school history at 15-17.
“It’s been pretty positive,”
West senior Tyler Hubbs said
of the season. “We got second
in our first tournament
of the season at Schaumburg
[on March 16 and 17] and
have gone from there. We’ve
had a lot of movement, made
good drives and passes and
communicated well. We’re
looking to go for the fourth
or fifth seed in the [Lincoln-
Way East] sectional and try
to do well there.”
Hubbs (2 goals) came
through when it counted
most against the Silver
Snakes. With the score tied

“It started from the back and moved its way up to
her, and she played a perfect ball. All it took for me
was just to touch it. Honestly, it was all Abbey.”

Tune In
at 12-12, Hubbs rose up and
fired in the go-ahead goal
from about mid-pool with
1:09 to play. Following a
turnover, Hubbs hammered
home the clinching goal
with 42 seconds left when he
skipped one in from the left
side.
“I just saw an opening,
and I shot it,” Hubbs said of
his go-ahead goal. “We practice
that a lot, and then I was
able to add [the final goal]
on a man-up at the end.”
Although they are winless,
the Silver Snakes certainly
didn’t look like it and
played well until the end.
Senior Michael Feeley, a
Tinley Park High School
student who lead all scorers
with seven goals, came
up with a big steal and was
fouled in the final seconds.
He converted a 5-meter penalty
shot with six seconds
left to account for the final
score. But the Silver Snakes
couldn’t get the ball back for
a final shot.
“It’s always hard to win
here,” Bernard said of playing
in the small pool at Bremen.
“It’s the first time I’ve
been here since I played
[at Lincoln-Way Central]
in 2011. That number nine
[Feeley] is a fantastic player
and they know how to work
their pool.”
The game was tied 2-2
after a quarter. The Warriors
went on a 4-1 spurt in

the second quarter before
settling on a 6-4 halftime
advantage. Junior Jake Wroblewski
scored West’s final
two goals in that quarter.
Those were only his fifth and
sixth goals of the season.
“We had good communication
and found the
open hole and made plays,”
Wroblewski said. “[Feeley]
played a good game and
gave us a rough time. But we
communicated well and just
work well as a team. We just
want to do our best and win
as many games as possible.”
West extended the lead
to 9-5 midway through the
third quarter on a goal by
senior Liam Hall (3 goals).
But the Silver Snakes closed

within 10-9 after three and
tied it on consecutive goals
by Feeley, including one that
knotted the game at 12-12
with 1:39 to play.
Jack Taylor, who along
with Carlson is a senior, added
three goals for West. The
Warriors have only won two
postseason games in their
history and both of those
were play-in games (2015
and 2017). They have never
advanced past the sectional
quarterfinals, but they hope
to this year.
“We’re meshing, we’re
not relaying on one person,”
said Bernard, who was the
head coach at Lincoln-Way
Central last year before
moving to West this season.
“We’ve tied two games in
tournaments and they’ve
been good games for us. We
keep getting better and we’re
reinforcing the positive.”
The next day, Tuesday,
April 10, West registered
another win when it traveled
to Stagg for a SouthWest
Suburban Conference clash.
There Carlson scored five
goals as the Warriors won
15-8. They are now 9-5-2
and 3-3 in the SWSC.
“We had an amazing defensive
game,” Bernard said
of the Stagg match. “Everyone
on the team stepped
up and started to take more
shots and press.”
On Saturday, April 21
starting at 8:30 a.m., West
hosts its own tournament –
the Warrior Boys Water Polo
Invitational.
