The other winners for the men were Alex Brower and Ben Walczak. The women's winner was Kate Guderjan, who clocked in at 22 minutes and 57 seconds. She was followed by Deborah Simental and Laura Mizwicki. After the race awards were announced, Zelenika and the Mizwicki family awarded this year's scholarship recipients with their checks and award plaques. While the four winners had been announced at the school's awards night last week, they were officially presented with their prizes at the race. This year's winners of the $1,000 scholarships were Chris Gromnicki, who will be attending Joliet Junior College for finance in fall; Thomas Huguelet, who will be attending Iowa State University to major in engineering; Grace Babcock, who will be studying History and English at Ball State, and Kelly Prusak, who will be starting college at Moraine Valley for psychology. "This event is really special for me and it means a lot to get this scholarship," Ray Mizwicki (left), the father of former Lincoln-Way East student Patrick Mizwicki, and Frankfort Mayor Jim Holland (right) get ready to kick off the Strive for 5 5K on Saturday, May 19. Julie McMann/22nd Century Media Huguelet said. "The Mizwickis were my neighbors. Patrick was in class with my older sister and we all grew up together. It's amazing to see all the faces from the neighborhood here and all the support from everyone." Huguelet has taken part in the 5K every year since its inception. This year was the first time Gromnicki took part in the event, but he said that he would "definitely come out for it again." After the awards were distributed, the crowd took part in a short round of Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox trivia for Portillo's gift cards. "We've had trouble with raffles in the past," Zelenika explained, "since some of the winners haven't stuck around." The topic was another tribute to Patrick, who was not only an avid baseball fan, but the only avid Cubs supporter in a family full of White Sox fans. Before the event dispersed, JoAnne and Ray took the stage to thank everyone for coming. "On behalf of our family I just want to say thank you," JoAnne said. "We are so blessed to have you all here for Pat. We miss him so much and I have no doubt he lives on in all of you. Thank you all for being here today. This is always bittersweet, but it is beautiful."
frankfortstation.com news the frankfort station | May 24, 2018 | 9 Lincoln-Way D210 Board of Education Board discusses district debt, tables vote on sales tax resolution Megan Schuller Freelance Reporter Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210’s finances were a debated topic of discussion at the Board of Education meeting on May 17, as the board looks for solutions. The district is at its lowest cash point of the year and took out $2 million to ensure it could fund the payroll, according to Bradley Cauffman, assistant superintendent of business. Some of that debt burden will be felt by residents. The board approved a flat $50 participation fee for all students, regardless of how many athletics and extracurricular activities they participate in. It was a 4-2 vote, with Christopher Lucchetti and Joseph Kirkeeng casting dissenting votes. The expected revenue from that fee would bring in roughly $310,000. The board tabled the vote for the Will County school facilities sales tax resolution to be put on the ballot. The district would bring in about $3.5 million for the school to use on school facilities; however, it has restrictions as to what kind of sales would be taxed. “Will County has turned into a logistics hub,” Board President Joseph Kirkeeng said, referring to the Will County Freight Mobility Study that showed Will County handles 3.5 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product. “That’s outside money coming in here that could be taxed at 1 percent.” The study conducted last year by the Will County Center of Economic Development showed that Will County is the largest inland port in North America, with $65 billion worth of products flowing through the county annually. Cars, trucks, ATVs, boats, RVs, mobile homes, unprepared food, drugs (including over the counter and vitamins), farm equipment, farm inputs, and services would be excluded from the 1 percent tax. Other districts have been voting on the same proposal. When school boards representing more than 50 percent of the resident student enrollment in the county adopt Round it up A brief recap of action and discussion from the Thursday, May 17 meeting of the D210 School Board • D210 was a leader in the statewide led Reading Program “Read for a Lifetime.” • The board voted in favor of school handbook changes to keep up with the changing times of technology, transportation, vaping and drug use by students. • Graduating student council leader members received sweatshirts that featured their soon-to-be college logos. • A property at Harlem Avenue and 191st Street is back on the market after a deal with Woodman’s Market fell through. • A $50 student activity fee was passed by the board. the resolution, the Regional Superintendent will certify the question to the County clerk, who will then place on the ballot at the next election. Frankfort School District 157-C unanimously rejected the resolution at its Board of Education meeting on May 16. Several people spoke during open comments regarding the district’s restriction on the community use of facilities. D210 board later discussed that they allowed community members early morning pool access because they had already paid. They are rethinking their current plan for next year, which would ideally limit the pool, track and fitness center to after hours when students are not in session. Some board members suggested during the discussion to not allow the community to use the facilities because it makes it difficult to ensure a student’s safety who stays after school to participate in an activity. “We would not be banning public use of facilities, we would be restricting it at times that students are present during the school day,” Kirkeeng said. Lucchetti asked the board about using Lincoln Way West for the community’s needs, and Kirkeeng said it wasn’t possible. “We’re not able to block it off Chris because of the way the atrium is set up,” Kirkeeng said in reply to Lucchetti’s question. Board member Beth Janus-Doyle suggested the board to ask the staff members that would be staying after school with students how comfortable they’d be with community use of the school facilities. “In my high school I’d feel comfortable to not allow them to roam the halls while I’m teaching,” Janus-Doyle said in discussion. A woman in the audience quickly shouted out, “We don’t roam the halls” in response to Janus-Doyle’s comment. The board determined that it needed further discussion before making a decision on it. “There were promises made to use the new facilities, and they’re going back on that promise. They (the community members) have every right to voice that concern, and hopefully the board will make the right decision,” audience member Mike Barnas said after the meeting. “Security should be a concern but there are ways to accommodate what the community is requesting as well as keeping the facility secure.” The board also stated that the contract to sell the property at Harlem and 191st street has been voided due to the potential buyer Woodman’s Market letting the due diligence period expire. As the hunt for a new buyer begins, the board spent closed session discussing a new selling price and how to move forward. While discussing other district business, the board mentioned the unit district and acquisition of Lincoln-Way North High School proposal given by Steve Cook during the public comment session at the last Summit Hill School District 161 meeting on May 9. “There was information in regards to potential unit district Summit Hill 161,” Kirkeeng said. “We’ve asked for that information. That’s something we’ll continue to monitor as it is something that would impact Lincoln Way. It’s an interesting proposal. We know that that asset needs to be addressed.” Frankfort resident named to Morgan Stanley Master’s Club Submitted by Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Morgan Stanley has announced that Larry Hansen, a senior vice president, financial advisor and portfolio manager, in its Wealth Management office in Orland Park has been named to the Firm’s prestigious Master’s Club, an elite group composed of the firm’s top financial advisors.
