Old Canal Days bring history, fun in one
Amanda Del Buono
Freelance Reporter
Bringing together the
fun of a carnival and local
fair with a twist of history,
Lockport Old Canal Days
took place this past weekend,
despite the construction
on State Street. Local
families braved the heat to
enjoy the annual festival,
which has become a tradition
for many people in the
Lockport area.
“We try to make it every
year, even since we moved,”
said Tori Zukowski, a Lockport
native who now resides
in Mokena. “It’s always fun
for the kids.”
Tori and her husband
Gregory Zukowski brought
their two sons, 6-year-old
Oliver and 2-and-a-halfmonth-old
Lincoln, to Old
Canal Days on Friday and
Saturday. The family attended
the parade on Friday
night, and Oliver was excited
to go to the carnival on
Saturday.
“We came up for the parade
yesterday, and we have
a graduation party today,
so we decided to come out
early so we can walk around
Canal Days,” Tori said.
Old Canal Days is a great
event for families, but the
variety of attractions available
made it appealing to
adults, as well. Lockport
residents Vicki and Patrick
Proffitt said although they
don’t have children, they
enjoy coming out to spend
time in downtown Lockport
as part of the community.
“We always like the craft
show,” Vicki said. “… It’s a
nice thing to do in the community.
We like that they do
a lot of things in Lockport,
it’s a good town. … We like
to look for stuff to do in the
summer outside, and Lockport
is great with that and
we can come out and enjoy
our little downtown.”
The craft fair is one of the
most popular attractions at
Lockport Canal Days, said
Jodi Herman, administrative
assistant for the City of
Lockport and organizer of
Old Canal Days. However,
because of the State Street
construction, the craft fair
was slightly downsized,
with about 100 vendors in
this year’s fair compared to
the 120 in last year’s, she
added.
But the craft fair wasn’t
the only attraction impacted
by the construction. Friday’s
parade followed a new route
along Canal Street as a result,
Herman said.
“The obstacle was the
construction downtown
this year. We didn’t want
to change too much, but we
reworked the parade route,”
Herman said. “From the
feedback I’ve gotten, people
loved it. They thought it
was very scenic.”
Along with the carnival,
parade, craft fair, car show
and live music, were a variety
of attractions that highlighted
Lockport’s history
and the history and impact
of the I&M Canal. Among
the historical attractions
were a Lockport history exhibit,
wagon history tours
and Lockport cemetery
tours.
“We hope attendees have
fun,” Herman said. “It’s a
family-oriented event that
focuses on bringing people
to learn about the history of
Lockport and the I&M Canal.”
After watching a documentary
series about the
I&M Canal, 5-year-old Andrew
Lorang was excited to
come experience the history
for himself.

“He likes history a lot,
believe it or not,” said his
mother, Anne Lorang, a
Homer Glen resident.
Anne hadn’t attended
Canal Days since before
Andrew was born, but was
enjoying the day alone with
her youngest child exploring
downtown Lockport’s
history, while the two awaited
the wagon history tour.
“We had met some friends
here, but they left and we
wanted to stay longer,” she
said. “… It’s been fun.”

Lockport law enforcement carries the torch
Special Olympics
Illinois Torch Run
makes its way
through Lockport
Mary Compton
Freelance Reporter
Hitting the pavement running
has never been a problem
for Lockport police officer
Debbie Schenk.
So, when the Law Enforcement
Torch Run for
Special Olympics Illinois
asked her to coordinate
Leg 5 of the event on June
12, Schenk stepped up and
didn’t look back.
“I have been involved in
coordinating the local torch
run for the past four or five
years,” Schenk said.
Besides the run, Schenk
has also participated in Super
Plunge, Cop on a Rooftop,
Five-O at the Dirty O,
Trivia Night and many more
fundraising events.
On June 12, a group of Illinois
State Troopers from
District 5 in Lockport came
out to run south along Route
53.
DeAnn Falat, trooper with
the Illinois State Police and
lifelong Lockport resident,
had an opportunity to carry
the torch.
“I’ve taken part in Special
Olympics for 13 years,”
Falat said. “Our troopers run
as well as other police departments
around us. We run
two days. We really support
this. We go out of our way to
help out whenever we can.
Special Olympics is at the
top of our list. The kids are
our future; we do everything
we can to help them out.”
According to the Special
Olympics website, the need
for services is great as the
organization estimates Special
Olympics Illinois is
currently serving about 10
percent of those eligible to
participate. Individual donors
account for 65 percent
of the donations, so they
rely on the public to ensure
they can continue reaching
out to more of those in need.
Special Olympian Rikki
Kirsch, who is the Athlete
Liasion on the Law Enforcement
Torch Run for the
State of Illinois, stopped by
to take part. Her mom, Chris
Kirsch from Shorewood,
said the event is special for
the whole family.
“This year is her fifth year
participating in the Torch
Run at different locations,”
Chris Kirsch said. “A lot of
police departments contact
her to come out and speak.
She’s collected a lot of
patches and pins from these
departments as well as hats
and coins.
“The whole family is involved
with Special Olympics.
Special Olympics is
somewhere for Rikki to be
Rikki, [and] to show the
world it’s about what she
can do, not what she can’t
do.”
Greg Wietting, who used
to work at Stateville, continues
to take part because of
people like Rikki.
“I’ve taken part in Special
Olympics for nine years,”
he said. “I’ll keep helping as
long as I can.”
Besides Special Olympians
like Rikki, Officer
Schenk has another reason
to raise funds.
“I have a brother, John
who has been participating
in Special Olympics since
the 1970s,” Schenk said.
“My mom passed away in
2016. When my brother told
his teammates at softball his
mother passed away, they
all came over to hug him,
then the other team cleared
the bench and hugged him
as well. Special Olympics
gives John an opportunity to
socialize and be himself.”
To make a donation to
Special Olympics Illinois
online, visit www.soill.org.
Those wishing to donate can
also drop off checks made
payable to Law Enforcement
Torch Run for Special
Olympics to their local
police department, Schenk
said.

95-year-old WWII vet continues service as usher
Jacquelyn Schlabach
Assistant Editor
Every Sunday, Joe Bertucci ushers
at the 11 a.m. mass at St. Dennis
Parish in Lockport. For the past
17 years, Bertucci has volunteered
at the church to pass around the offering
baskets during mass, greet
parishioners and lead people to
their seats.
“He always handshakes people,
says hi to people. He always greets
people,” said Catherine Perretta, a
Lockport alderwoman and St. Dennis
parishioner.
Perretta attends the 11 a.m. mass
almost every Sunday and said she
always sees Bertucci there with a
smile on his face.
“He’s not doing it because he
feels like he’s got to do it or what
not, it’s just people out there they
volunteer because they know they
can and so they do,” she said “They
don’t think of it as a chore.”
The 95-year-old might seem like
an average Lockport resident, but
he doesn’t just serve his fellow parishioners,
he also served his country
as a Marine for three years during
World War II.
“The people that made our country
great, they’re still here, they’re
still doing stuff,” Perretta said.
Bertucci and his late wife, Rose,
moved to Lockport in 1997 after
living in Oak Lawn. They were
married in 1947 and had four children;
a son and three daughters.
Rose was an accordion and piano
player when they met at a nightclub
in 1946. His three daughters
live in the area, and his son recently
moved to South Carolina.
“They’re here all the time,” Bertucci
said. “They come right down
[Interstate] 355, two, three times a
week.”
Every Sunday, he goes to his
daughter’s house in Homer Glen
for their weekly dinner.
His 13 grandchildren and three
great-grandchildren keep him
busy, and he wouldn’t have it any
other way.
In his Lockport home, one of
his basement walls is covered with
memorabilia from his time serving
in the Marine Corps. A frame
holds nine medals he received, a
United States Marine Corps flag,
his discharge certificate from the
Marines, a newspaper article declaring
when the war had ended
and more. His memories from war
are also commemorated in a large
photo album filled with pictures of
his time serving overseas, as well
as working in the civilian conservation
corps in 1940.
Bertucci enlisted in the armed
forces in 1943, two years after
working in the civilian conservation
corps in Idaho. He was about
a month away from being drafted
into World War II when he decided
to enlist in the Marines instead.
Growing up in Iowa, his dream
after graduating high school was to
attend Iowa State University and
major in politics. At the time, his
father was a carpenter, building
farms in the area, but told his son he
couldn’t afford to send him to college.
Bertucci left Iowa and moved
in with his aunt in Chicago where
she found him work at the civilian
conservation corps in 1940.
Enlisting at 20 years old, Bertucci
began basic training in San Diego
for three months before heading to
New Zealand. He was assigned to
the 2nd Marine Division and spent
six months there training. His first
mission was to invade Tarawa, an
island in the Pacific region. Following
the battle there, he went to
Hawaii to rest and train before invading
Saipan in 1944.
He ended up fighting in Japan for
three months in 1945. In October
World War II veteran and Lockport resident Joe Bertucci stands in front
of his basement wall where he hung all of his memorabilia from serving
in the Marine Corps. Jacquelyn Schlabach/22nd Century Media
of that year, the war was over and
it was time to return home to the
states. There were 16 men in the
2nd Marine Division when they
first began fighting, but only five
men returned alongside Bertucci.
“They were like my real brothers,”
he said. “They were really
something.”
In the years after being discharged
from the Marines, Bertucci
tried to contact the five other men,
but unfortunately, with a lack of information
of their whereabouts, he
was unsuccessful.
“[Being in service] was very
interesting, I’ll tell you that,”
Bertucci said. “It’s a lot different
than what you would think being
in service is. Everything was routine.
The Marine Corps, you just
do what they tell you. You don’t
ask questions or anything like that.
They drive you, and they push you,
and they drill you, and they try to
make the best they can out of you.
It’s the best service to be in, I’d say
that, but it’s the most dangerous.”
Serving in the Marines was harder
than he expected, especially going
through boot camp.
“They kept saying, ‘you ain’t
seen nothing yet, you’re only in
boot camp,’” Bertucci recalled.
“And they were right.”
The war took its toll on the thousands
of servicemen, including
Bertucci.
“When you get all through, you
see couple of your buddies dying
over here, or you see a boat over
there, a motor hits it and all pieces
fly up in the air and all those kinds
of things,” Bertucci said.
“You don’t forget. War is a
smell, you can smell gunpowder,
you can smell death. I don’t care
how you want to look at it, and at
the same time there’s buildings that
are burning and you smell wood
burning and it’s an odd, odd smell.
It seems like you can never get rid
of it; it’s there.”
Through it all, Bertucci said he’s
lucky to be one of the men who
came home.
“I never thought I’d ever get
back here, never thought I’d get
back,” he said.
Bertucci served his country because
he had to, but he’s also glad
he did.
In 2012, Bertucci and his fellow
service men and women from
various wars were given an opportunity
of a lifetime to go on the
Honor Flight, which flies veterans
to Washington D.C. to visit memorials.
According to their website,
Honor Flight Network is “a nonprofit
organization created solely
to honor America’s veterans for all
their sacrifices.” The free, day-long
event brings the veterans to the nation’s
capital, with a greeting committee
at the airport there to welcome
them.
“They got the firetrucks squirting
water all over, and there’s
bands inside the airport,” Bertucci
said. “They treat you like royalty.
When you get off the plane, they
parade you down the steps, and all
the way around. There must have
been thousands of people.”
For all of their contributions and
sacrifices for the country, the Honor
Flight is well-deserved.
“I’m glad I served,” Bertucci
said. “I served my country the way
we were supposed to and we did
our job. I just thought, well you
have to go in, you have to go in.
Whenever you finish the job, you
get done, you come home. I’m just
lucky I’m one of them that came
back home.”

is spoiled rotten and can’t sit on
bare floors, prefers to be under
the covers at bed time and is
always perched on the chair. We

FROM THE MOKENA MESSENGER
Board honors LW Central
grad for Air Force acceptance
A Mokena teenager was
recognized June 11 at the
Village of Mokena Board of
Trustees meeting for deciding
to protect and serve his
country.
Jared Robert Scott Bachman,
a Lincoln-Way Central
graduate, is set to enter to
the United States Air Force
Academy later this year and
was honored by the Village
with a proclamation in his
honor at the meeting.
Bachman was a member
of the Air Force Junior Reserve
Officer Training Corp
at Lincoln-Way Central.
According to the proclamation,
Bachman achieved the
assignments of squadron
commander, summer drill
camp leader and group commander
during his four years
in the AFJROTC program.
After an intense application
process, Bachman was
one of fewer than 1,200
people to be accepted into
the Air Force Academy. He
will begin his basic training
later this month in Colorado
Springs, Colorado.
Bachman thanked the Village
Board and Mayor Frank
Fleischer for honoring him
with a proclamation and for
the work they do to better
the community.
“I’ve lived in Mokena my
entire life, and I’d like to
thank all of you for the work
that you do to build and foster
this incredible community
that allows people such as
myself and my classmates to
have a dream, develop that
dream and go after that,” he
said.

FROM THE TINLEY JUNCTION
Mayor plans meeting after
Cruise Nights complaints
A different setup this year
for Tinley Park’s weekly
Cruise Nights has drawn
complaints from attendees
and stakeholders.
During a Special Board of
Trustees meeting on June 12,
approximately a half dozen
people involved with the
classic car show spoke in opposition
to new safety regulations
implemented in 2018
that includes the closure of
north and southbound Oak
Park Avenue from 171st
Street to North Street as
well as a blocked off section
that only allows entry until
5 p.m. and exit after 8 p.m.
In the previous six years,
attendees and drivers were
able to come and go as they
pleased, organizers said.
“I think it was a big mistake,”
said Jim Hudik, Commander
of Bremen VFW
Post 2791. “This is hurting
financially.”
Mayor Jake Vandenberg
said the changes were implemented
based on recommendations
from the Tinley Park
Police Department, which
reviewed a variety of plans
dealing with moving vehicles
and pedestrian safety.
Roger Barton, a longtime
village resident and original
organizer, said the situation
was “out of hand.”
“The barricades up right
now are unacceptable,” he
said. “Cruise Nights were
one of the most popular
events this town has ever
seen.”
Vandenberg said he understood
the new setup was
not perfect and requested
to meet with Cruise Night
organizers in an attempt to
find solutions to the current
issues.
Cruise Nights began on
May 29 and runs from 5-9
p.m. every Tuesday night
throughout August.

Frankfort woman receives
award for monarch
conservation efforts
The Illinois state butterfly
has seen a steady decrease in
population over the past 20
years, according to the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service,
and local woman Kay Mac-
Neil is leading an effort to
protect them.
MacNeil recently won a
national Award of Honor in
Philadelphia for her work
with Milkweeds for Monarchs,
a national and now
global movement to plant
milkweeds and increase
the number of safe habitats
for monarchs. She has sent
more than 8,000 seed packets
of milkweed this year locally
and as far as Nevada,
California, Canada and
Puerto Rico.
“Receiving the award was
very exciting,” MacNeil
said. “If every gardener had
a milkweed plant our problems
would be solved.”
As the bee, bird and butterfly
chairman for the Garden
Club of Illinois District
8, MacNeil started the project
three years ago because
she saw the need to aid the
declining population of
monarchs.
“The numbers are down
by 90 percent of what they
used to be years ago,” Mac-
Neil said. “Monarchs face a
lot of challenges like deforestation
and global warming.
The drop in milkweed is the
culprit for their low numbers.”
Monarchs lay their eggs
on the milkweed and the caterpillar
then eats the milkweed,
which are commonly
sprayed with pesticides that
endanger the butterfly.
MacNeil also raises monarchs
on her kitchen table
when she finds one in an
unsafe habitat. After the caterpillars
transform into butterflies,
she releases them
into her garden, which is full
of milkweed and perennials.
The butterflies then join the
33 million other monarchs
as they migrate to Mexico
for the winter.

FROM THE NEW LENOX PATRIOT
Local singers, musicians kick
off 2018 Live on the Lawn
There’s no shortage of
free, family fun in New
Lenox, but one concert series
in particular brings the
entire community together
in song.
On June 10, the Village
of New Lenox presented its
first Live on the Lawn performance
of 2018 by hosting
the New Lenox Community
Band and Midwest Crossroads
Chorus for a night of
fun and music.
Rainy weather defined the
early afternoon, but by the
7 p.m. start time, the clouds
began to clear and a hint of
sun emerged for the first
time all day. The New Lenox
Community Concert Band
did its best to conjure even
more sunshine as its theme
for the Sunday night concert
was “Bringing Light.”
“Break Forth O Beauteous
Heavenly Light” by Johann
Schop and “With Each
Sunset” by Richard Saucedo
were among the captivating
themed pieces performed
while a march by John Philip
Sousa and Edwin Franko
Goldman’s “On the Mall” –
which the band plays at the
conclusion of most of its
concerts – proved to be perennial
fan favorites.
“These concerts are a
chance to hear what – culturally
– America was built on,”
said co-director of the New
Lenox Community Band
Matthew Doherty before the
show. “It’s a chance to connect
to people who are 95
years old or 5 years old. Kids
come and dance. Grown-ups
come and listen to some
music that maybe they enjoyed
from their childhood.
There’s some really beautiful
moments in the music
and some really beautiful
moments in the park.”

Four-day Homer Community
Fest to return for ninth year
There’s nothing better
than getting the family together
on a summer day for
good food, carnival rides
and live music.
Residents can soon enjoy
just that, as Homer Community
Fest will return to
the village for its ninth year
Thursday, June 21, through
Sunday, June 24.
Many of the popular attractions
and vendors from
years past will be at the
four-day festival, with some
new additions to be seen
and heard throughout the
grounds on the northeast
corner of 151st Street and
Creme Road.
“We’ve seen the fest grow
throughout the years,” Parade
& Festival Committee
co-chairman and Village
Trustee Carlo Caprio said. “I
personally feel like we have
become a destination, where
a lot of festivals host them
a few years, and they don’t
survive, but we’ve done a really
great job working with
the Township and the Homer
Road District to get everybody
involved and to make
this festival a destination for
everyone to come to.”
The gates open at 3 p.m.
Thursday, and the festival
closes at midnight. All of the
entertainment is free.
Families can purchase a
mega pass for $65 that allows
unlimited rides all four
days. Day passes can also be
purchased for $30.

Last time I wrote
to you all, I spoke
about wanting to
get more involved in my
community. I was looking
for ways to continue
volunteering after moving
to Downers Grove following
my college graduation
last year. I tried to search
different organizations, but
unfortunately, for a lot of
them, they needed volunteers
during the day. With
my job at the paper, that
wasn’t an option for me, so
I kept looking.
After going through my
list, I remembered I had
volunteered at the nursing
home my great-grandmother
lived at when I was a
sophomore in high school.
I went to their website to
fill out a volunteer inquiry
form, and received an email
back just hours later. I
called the volunteer coordinator
and we set up a time
for me to come in and have
an orientation. Of course,
since I had volunteered
before, I was familiar with
a lot of the policies and
activities.
As soon as the coordinator
gave me a tour of the
home and introduced me to
a couple of the residents,
I knew I was in the right
place.
I’ve always had a passion
for helping senior citizens.
I think it’s important they
interact with as many people
as possible and engage
in the activities they enjoy,
whether that be bingo,
bunco, listening to music
or watching movies. When
I volunteered there many
years ago, I helped out
with happy hour, where the
residents gathered in the
cafe area and could have
beverages and snacks for
an hour. I also would visit
with the residents and talk
with them, share stories
with each other, and just
enjoy each other’s company.
It was a rewarding
experience, and I’m happy
to be doing it again.
Every other Saturday
for the past month or so,
I have volunteered during
bingo games and helped
residents with their playing
cards, or passed out money
when they win. I’ve helped
out three lovely women
each time, and it’s always
so wonderful to see how
excited they are when they
win, even if it’s just 25
cents. One lady won $1 and
said, “I can’t remember the
last time I got a dollar!” It
just warms your heart to see
them really enjoying themselves.
Often times, they
can’t hear the numbers being
called out, or need help
covering the numbers, and
they’re always so appreciative
when you help them.
The seniors I volunteer with
are always so full of life and
just want someone to talk
to. I remember when my
great-grandmother was in
the nursing home, and she
loved whenever we would
come visit her. We played
bunco during happy hour,
and would always take her
outside so she could see
the people walking around.
She loved to people watch.
It brings back memories
being there again, but I’m
happy to continue working
with the seniors and helping
make their days a bit
brighter.
Don’t let your
advertising cool
down this summer.

Mythology, religion meet at art show
Mary Compton
Freelance Reporter
For artists, god takes various
forms. Putting that vision on canvas
can be seen at the new show
By the Gods, a mythology and
religious themed art show which
opened Saturday, June 16, at the
Flower of Life Art Gallery.
Larry Brogan, owner of Tattoo
City Skin Art and the Flower of
Life Art Gallery, created a piece
titled “Pan,” which in Greek mythology
is a fertility deity.
“My painting is based on the
Greek god Pan,” Brogan said.
“He’s one of the most recognizable
gods because he had goat
legs and horns. He was noted as
the god of fun and frolicking in
the woods, partying, drinking
and chasing nymphs through the
woods. He is also credited with
ending the war between the gods
and the titans in Greek mythology.
“I’ve always had a fascination
with him. He has an interesting
look. For a long time I’ve wanted
to paint a picture of Pan, this was
a golden opportunity to do so. It’s
been in progress for the last couple
of months.”
Larry began tattooing in 1990
and his love for painting began
years later. While both artistic,
there is a significant difference in
working on cotton canvas versus
skin canvas, he said.
“It’s a world of difference when
you’re tattooing the human body,”
Brogan said. “With tattooing,
you’ve got a canvas that moves, is
mushy, bleeds, it’s slippery and they
whine and cry as opposed to painting
on a canvas it just sits there and
does whatever you want it to do...
It’s night and day between tattooing
and painting on a flat surface.”
The newest tattoo artist from
Tattoo City Skin Art, Jonathan
Norman, threw his canvas in
the show, which is called “Baby
Zeus.”
“I have one piece called Baby
Zeus,” Norman said. “ My sister
had her first child, so I had baby on
the brain. I needed a subject for the
show and when you think of gods
I thought of Zeus. He’s all powerful.
I haven’t seen any depictions
of Zeus as an infant so that’s why I
chose to paint that.”
Norman joined the team at the
tattoo shop in December.
“Being successful as I’ve been
as a tattoo artist it’s been an easy
transition,” he said. “I live close
enough I can ride my skateboard to
work. Art’s good for the community,
it gives people a chance to look
at others’ visions.”

Pills May Replace Diapers And
Padded Underwear At Stores
Clinical studies show new pill may be effective enough to replace adult diapers for bladder control; initial
users show dramatic reduction in trips to the bathroom, embarrassing leaking, and nighttime urgency.
Robert Ward,
Associated Health Press
AHP− Adult diaper sales are expected to
plummet as results from aclinical trial on
a new, patented bladder control pill have
finally been released.
Sold under the brand name UriVarx, the
new pill contains key ingredients that keeps
the bladder from releasing voluntarily, which
reduces accidents and frequent bathroom
trips.
Perhaps more impressive, it also targets
the tiny muscles around the bladder, which
helps the bladder to create atighter seal.
This would explain why the average
UriVarx user in clinical trials experiences
a 66% reduction in urinary incontinence
symptoms, such as day and night leaking
and sudden urges to urinate.
NEW DISCOVERY
IN BLADDER CONTROL
Until now, doctors believed it was
impossible to strengthen the muscles that
control the bladder. They are amazed to
see that it can now be done with the nonprescription
UriVarx pill.
“As you get older, and the involuntary
muscles around your bladder weaken, you
lose urinary control. With your bladder wall
unable to properly seal, you constantly leak
and feel pressure to urinate” explains Dr.
Bassam Damaj of Innovus Pharmaceuticals.
“UriVarx targets the bladder muscles and
help restores vital kidney health, reducing
urgency and frequency. It also helps you
“hold it” for hours so you never have to
worry about embarrassing accidents ever
again!”
FREEDOM FROM SUDDEN
URGES AND LEAKS
Since hitting the market, sales for the
patented UriVarx pill have soared and there
are some very good reasons why.
To begin with, the double blind large
clinical studies published in the clinicaltrials.
gov have been impressive. Participants
taking UriVarx saw a stunning reduction
in urinary frequency, which resulted in
fewer bathroom trips both day and night.
They also experienced a dramatic
decrease in incontinence episodes, such as
leaking and bed wetting.
The active ingredients in UriVarx comes
from apatented formula. It is both safe and
healthy. There are also no known serious
side effects in its history of use.
Scientists believe that the ingredients target
the muscles of the bladder to grow stronger.
These muscles are responsible for keeping
the bladder tightly sealed. They also help
the bladder to completely empty, allowing
bacteria to be flushed from the urinary tract.
Research has shown that as you get older,
certain hormonal changes in the body cause
these muscles to shrink and become lose.
This is what causes the bladder to be over
active and the resulting urine accidents and
why UriVarx seems to be so effective in the
published clinical trials.
EXCITING RESULTS
FROM URIVARX USERS
Many UriVarx userssay their bladdershave
never been stronger. For the first time in years,
they areconfident and in complete control. Adult
pads and diapersare no longer abig worry.
“After my third child, I couldn’t control
my bladder. Iwas running to the bathroom
all the time! And once Ihit my 60s it became
so unpredictable Ineeded to wear adult pads
every day” explained Marie L. of Danbury,CT.
“I was embarrassed so before going to
my doctor Idecided to try UriVarx and I’m
so glad I did! The urgency is gone and I
no longer feel like my bladder is about to
explode. Ican also “hold it” when Ineed to
so I’m no longer living in constant fear of
finding abathroom.”
IMPRESSIVE CLINICAL RESULTS
The exciting clinical results published on
the government clinical website clinicaltrials.gov
show that UriVarx can strengthen
your bladder fast, significantly reducing the
urine urgency and leaks.
In anew double-blind, placebo-controlled
clinical study, 142 men and women with
bladder control issues were separated into
two groups. The first group was given a
placebo while the other received UriVarx.
The results were incredible. The
participants who received UriVarx saw
major improvements in leaking, pressure,
and the urgency to go −all without the usual
side effects seen in prescription drugs! They
also reported fewer trips to the bathroom
both day and night.
Overall, the UriVarx group experienced:
• 56% Reduction in Urge Incontinence
• 66% Reduction in Stress Incontinence
• 61% Reduction in Urgency
• 33% Reduction in Frequency
• 46% Reduction in Nighttime Bathroom Trips
Additionally, at the end of clinical trial
and after seeing the results, 84% of the
participants taking UriVarx said it
significantly improved their quality of life.
“The clinical findings are incredible, but
people still wonder if it will really work”
explains Dr. Bassam Damaj. “It’s normal to be
skeptical, but we’ve seen thousands of UriVarx
users get results exactly like the participants in
the study.It’s an amazing product.”
HOW ITWORKS
UriVarx is apill that’s taken just once
daily. Itdoes not require aprescription.
The active ingredients are patented natural
extracts.
Research shows that as we get older, the
muscles which surround the bladder weaken.
This is caused by hormonal changes in the
body that causes the muscles to atrophy and
weaken.
When they become too small and weak,
they cannot seal your bladder shut, which
causes leaking, accidents, among other
incontinence symptoms.
It also prevents your bladder from fully
emptying, which can result in persistent
bacterial infections and UTIs.
UriVarx’s active ingredient targets the
muscles around the bladder, making them
stronger. Supporting ingredients in UriVarx
support kidney function and overall urinary
health.
BLADDER
PROBLEMS GONE
With daily use, UriVarx can restore strong
bladder control and help users overcome
NEW PILL MAYREPLACE DIAPERS FOR BLADDER
CONTROL: This new patented clinically proven
pill solution is now available nationwide
leakage without the negative side effects or
interactions associated with drugs.
Leakage sufferers can now put an end to
the uncontrollable urges, the embarrassing
accidents, and enjoy an entirely new level
of comfort and confidence.

The Dish
Joey’s set to expand with pizzeria
Max Lapthorne
Editor
As if there wasn’t already
enough variety on the menu
at Joey’s Red Hots in Orland
Park, a new expansion is set
to bring even more fare to
the community.
Just across the parking
lot from Joey’s Red Hots at
17400 Wolf Road in Orland
Park, a new structure bearing
the Joey’s name is getting
set to open some time in
the next several weeks, according
to Nick Iozzo, who
owns the business along
with Anthony Nardo.
“It’s just an extension
of our menu,” Iozzo said.
“With the success of the hot
dogs, hamburgers, Polish
[sausage], all the main staples
here, we decided to do
some pizza, pasta and gelato.
And I thought this would be
a perfect location, since we
already have a nice traffic
flow here anyway.”
Joey’s Red Hots, which
opened just over two years
ago, is famous for its Chicago
style Vienna Beef hot
dogs ($2.65) and expansive
menu that includes Italian
beef sandwiches ($5.50), gyros
sandwiches ($5.50) and
more. Iozzo wants people
to visit Joey’s Red Hots for
more than the quality food,
though. He has aimed to create
a community atmosphere
by lining the outside area
with picnic tables, inviting
guests to eat and mingle, and
making sure the workers are
always friendly.
“We thank you for your
business every single time,”
he said. “I think that’s part of
our success is [being] interactive
with our customers.”
After growing up in
Bridgeport, Iozzo has embarked
on a number of different
culinary adventures,
with the latest being Joey’s
Pizzeria. One of the primary
goals of his latest endeavor
is to recapture a flavor he
hasn’t been able to find since
moving out of the city five
years ago.
“I’m trying pizza place
after pizza place after pizza
place [in the suburbs], and
I just can’t get the taste
that I’m looking for, that I
grew up with,” Iozzo said.
“There’s a certain taste that
everyone loves, and I can’t
find it. I know that taste, so
I’m going to duplicate it and
bring it out this way.”
As of press time, the final
draft of the menu for Joey’s
Pizzeria was not complete,
but the pizza options are to
include 14-inch, 18-inch,
deep dish and by-the-slice.
The 18-inch pizza is to be
about $15, while a slice (one
quarter of an 18-inch) and a
drink will be $5, Iozzo said.
“My recipe is way different
from a Domino’s or
a Papa John’s or something
like that,” he said. “It’s not
[made on] a conveyor belt.
It’s handmade, all fresh
ingredients, top-quality
cheese. It’s the real deal.”
Joey’s Pizzeria also is set
to feature a daily special for
each day of the week, which
is only available on that day.
The specials will include
items such as panzerotti, ribs
and a cowboy steak with all
the fixings, according to Iozzo.
Pasta with five different
sauces, ravioli and arancini
will also appear on a menu
Iozzo hopes will stand out
from other restaurants in the
area.
“We’re going to do some
crazy things,” he said. “ ...
We’re going to do something
different every day. [The
menu will include] kind of
specialty-type items — stuff
you can’t get anywhere
else.”
The plan is for the 24 different
flavors of gelato to attract
customers with a sweet

com
tooth, and further diversify
the offerings.
“I don’t think there’s a gelato
place around here,” Iozzo
said. “I think that’s going
to really do well.”
Joey’s Pizzeria also is to
provide more kitchen space
for the restaurant’s four food
trucks and catering efforts,
which Iozzo plans to focus
on more heavily. Catering
is available for all types of
events and is $10 per person,
with a $500 minimum or 50
people.
The driving force behind
both Joey’s Red Hots and the
new Joey’s Pizzeria is the desire
to bring something to the
community that is otherwise
lacking, and Iozzo is trying to
do it in his own way.
“You can get a hot dog or
a hamburger anywhere, but
I’m trying to give it that taste
and that atmosphere that no
one else can give, because
this is how I grew up,” he
said.
While Iozzo will continue
to find inventive ways
to separate Joey’s Red Hots
and Joey’s Pizzeria from
competitors in the area,
he plans to keep his focus
where it has been all along:
on the customer.
“I’m not trying to reinvent
the wheel,” Iozzo said. “I
just want to appreciate my
customers. I am very appreciative
of everyone that supports
us.”
The Chicago-style hot dog ($2.65) comes with fries and is by far the most popular item on
the menu at Joey’s Red Hots. Max Lapthorne/22nd Century Media

No Money Down at Westgate Manor in Peotone
New Construction Homes from $239,900
Thinking hard about renting
instead of owning? Think again,
say the experts—who recommend
crunching the numbers carefully
to see which side of the fence the
grass is greener on. More often
than not, the greener side—as in
grass and money—is the one you
end up owning.
While it’s true that home
mortgage interest rates are slowly
on the rise, the same can be said
of monthly rents for residential
units, especially considering that
the greater Chicagoland rental
market has become more active
in recent months.
“Shoppers who don’t have
much of a down payment saved
up or who are worried about
qualifying for a loan due to a
moderate income can still share
in the great American dream of
homeownership,” said Bryan
Nooner, President of Distinctive
Home Builders. “Through our
preferred lender a new home can
be had with no money down so
they don’t have to worry about
raising money for closing costs
or a down payment. While some
conditions apply, for first-time
buyers and shoppers on a tight
budget, it’s the perfect scenario.”
“Over the long term, however,
the advantages of purchasing
and owning your own residence
significantly outnumber the
plusses of renting,” added
Nooner. “The most important
distinction between renting and
owning is the ability to build
equity in your property, which is
only possible with the latter. When
you purchase a home and pay a
monthly mortgage, the portion
applied toward principal every
month is your money coming
back to you—a reflection of the
value of your equity. One of the
other major boons to buying
a home is the ability to deduct
(within certain limits), your
property taxes and mortgage loan
interest on your yearly federal and
state income tax returns.”
The financing offer applies to
Westgate Manor buyers who opt
for a home mortgage loan through
Distinctive Home Builders’
preferred lender, who is available
to meet with home shoppers on
the weekends or by appointment
at Distinctive Home Builders
Single Family Home Center in
Manhattan at 24458 S. Rt. 52,
Manhattan, IL. 60422. Some
conditions apply, see a Distinctive
Home Builders representative for
complete details.
Peotone is a family-friendly
village and is one of the best kept
secrets among new home seekers,
according to Nooner. Several
factors attracted Distinctive
Home Builders to build 38 homes
at Westgate Manor, not the least
of which was its convenient
location between Interstate 57
and Illinois Route 50 and easy
access to I-80. Commuters enjoy
several nearby train stations and a
35-minute drive to Chicago.
Distinctive offers a wide variety
of home styles and selections
— buyers can choose among 12
different brick and frame construction
designs, each available in
three to eight different elevations.
Square footages span 1,600 to
2,500 for ranches and 1,800 to
3,000 for two-story homes. Prices
start at $239,900.
Westgate Manor offers three
to four bedrooms, two to threeand-a-half
baths, full basement,
formal dining room, vaulted, tray
or nine-foot first-floor ceilings, a
large kitchen with custom maple
cabinets, family room or great
room, and concrete driveways.
Depending on the home selected,
other standard amenities can
include a living room, den,
dinette, a tray or vaulted ceiling
in the master bedroom, as well
as dual-zoned heating and air
conditioning.
Premium standard features
included at Westgate Manor are
brick front exteriors on the first
floor, free basements in most
models, ceramic tile or hardwood
floors in the
kitchen, baths
and foyer; and
custom maple
cabinets. Kitchen
cabinets feature
solid wood
construction (no
particle board),
have solid wood
drawers with dove tail joints,
which is rare in the marketplace.
“When you build a new home
with Distinctive, you are receiving
a hand-crafted home with
custom made cabinets,” noted
Nooner. This year, Distinctive is
celebrating 32 years of building
thousands of homes throughout
the Will and south Cook County
areas.
Distinctive Home Builders, an
industry leading innovator, offers
the fastest build times (90 working
days) with a “Zero Punch List”
closing policy. Prior to closing,
each home undergoes a 100-point
checklist to insure the home
measures up to our high quality
standards.
Customers stay connected to the
progress of their home from start
to finish through Distinctive’s
unique construction portal.
Customers download the app to
stay in touch with their new home
24/7 from anywhere in the world.
The app allows customers to see
the progress of their home, access
their documents and easily share
photos and updates with family
and friends on social media.
As a semi-custom builder,
Distinctive Home Builders
can modify any of its standard
designs to cater to a customer’s
tastes, which means that moving
walls, adding extra windows or
even extending the garage are all
possible.
All homes are highly energy
efficient and are built to National
Energy Code guidelines. Every
home built has upgraded wall
and ceiling insulation values with
energy efficient windows and
high efficiency furnaces. Before
homeowners take possession of
their new home, a blower door test
is performed to verify that each
home passes a set of stringent
guidelines to insure homes are
tight and energy efficient.
“Ultimately, when you add up
all the pros of purchasing, most
owners inevitably gain more
tangible and intangible benefits
your own.”

Aaron Grcevic will be a
senior at Lockport Township
this fall and will be a guard
on the basketball team this
coming winter.
The team recently went
on a weekend trip to
Grand Valley State University
and did well in
the games there. What
were your impressions
of that trip?
It was awesome. It was
a great time and a lot of
fun playing teams at a high
level. We did well there
against a lot of good competition.
Coach Brett Hespell
used that trip to help
establish the team
“pillars” — values the
team tries to live by
during the season. How
important is that?
It’s extremely important.
We’re trying to not only set
pillars for this season, but
also for years to come. We
want the younger players
to look up at us and know
what these are for years to
come.
Coming off a 7-18 record
last season, what
does the team have to
do to get better for this
coming winter?
Our defense has got to get
better. I think offensively we
will be there, but defensively
we have to work hard all
summer.
When did you start
playing basketball?
I started playing in the
first or second grade at
the Homer Athletic Club.
Then, I played at Oak Prairie
in grade school. I might
have had a little push from
my dad, but I mostly just
tried it, liked it and stuck
with it.
Do you play any other
sports?
I played baseball my
freshman and sophomore
year, but not this past year. I
just got tired of baseball, it’s
too slow. I just wanted to focus
on basketball.
What is it about the
game of basketball that
makes it the sport for
you?
I like that it’s fast-paced.
I’m small (5-foot-5), I’m a
guard and I like to move at
a fast pace. I love basketball
and everything about it.
Your two sisters are
also athletes at Lockport
and you’re all
triplets. What’s it like
to be a triplet?
It’s unique. But it’s fun
and we all get along well.
What I like most about it is
that we all get to grow up
together.
What have you learned
from coach, Brett Hespell?
He’s taught me a lot, especially
a lot about character.
Photo submitted
He’s put me in position to be
a leader, and he’s taught me
how to be a person, as well
as a basketball player.
Do you plan to play
basketball in college?
As of right now, no. But if
something comes up, I might
change my mind. I just want
to go enjoy my college experience.
I’m undecided on a
college, but I probably want
to stay near home, in the
Midwest. I plan to major in
business or finance.
What’s the best thing
about being an athlete
at Lockport?
We have great facilities,
coaches, everything. But the
best thing is the rich history.
It’s just neat to see a lot of
people and alumni come
back to Lockport just to
watch games.

Wrestling
Ramos prepares for his shot on international stage
Standout Porter
wrestler to travel
to Croatia for world
championships
Randy Whalen
Freelance Reporter
Matt Ramos will have a
special opportunity at the
end of this month.
The Lockport Township
wrestling standout won
the Cadet Wrestling World
team trials at 51 kilograms
on June 3 in Akron, Ohio.
This means that at the end
of June he will travel to
Colorado Springs to attend
training camp at the Olympic
Training Center. From
there, he is to represent the
United States on July 3-4, at
the Cadet World Championships
in Zagreb, Croatia.
Ramos won’t be the only
Porter going, as assistant
wrestling coach and coach
of team Illinois, Jameson
Oster, will be joining the
coaching staff for the USA
on the trip.
“It’s been one of my main
goals,” Ramos said of making
the Cadet Wrestling
World team. “All the practice
I’ve been doing, everything,
it’s all been leading
up to this. Now, I’m one
step closer to a gold medal.”
If Ramos wins a gold
medal at the Cadet championships,
which is for those
born 2001-2003, he will
become the second wrestler
ever from Lockport to
get one. Haley Augello was
a cadet world champion in
2011 and later wrestled in
the 2016 Olympics. As it
is, Ramos is the fourth Porter
wrestler to represent the
United States in a UWW
[United World Wrestling]
event joining Augello, Tyler
Johnson and Mark Stenberg.
“Two years ago, I got
seventh and last year I
didn’t place,” Ramos said
of competing at the Cadet
Wrestling World team trials.
“So I knew what I had
to do. I had to adapt myself
to freestyle wrestling. When
I made it to the finals, it’s
a best two of three format.
But I won both of them by
the scores of 6-5 and 6-1
over [Anthony Ferrari from
Allen, Texas].”
That victory sent him to
the International destination.
“The USA took second
last year,” Lockport head
wrestling coach Josh Oster
said of going to the World
Finals. “The USA is one of
the top three countries there
year in-and-year out. So, to
represent your country at
that level is amazing.
“Years ago, I went to Russia
to wrestle, and was given
a great welcome. A lot of
foreign people have a view
of USA athletes as heroes.
Matt has a great opportunity
to go to a new country
and bring home a medal that
will bring a lot of pride to
his country, state and city.”
Jameson Oster, Josh Oster’s
brother, will be the first
Lockport wresting coach to
coach on the international
level. During his career
with the Porters, Jameson
Oster brought home a state
medal each season, including
a state championship
as a sophomore in 2009 in
Class 3A at 119 pounds.
But, despite all his success
on the mat and coaching
others on it, this will be a
new experience for him.
“After Matt won in Akron
I approached USA head
coach - Kevin Jackson and
told him I’d be interested in
coaching out there,” Jameson
Oster said. “He said sure.
I have to pay my own way,

but it will be fun. It’s not often
you get to coach at the
world level. Plus, I’ve never
been out of the country before.
“Also, it will be good for
Matt to have someone he
knows well with him to help
in the process.”
Ramos helped the Porters
to the Class 3A dual team
title in 2017, placed fifth in
3A at 106 pounds as a sophomore
and then took third
in Class 3A at 113 pounds
as a junior this past February.
He said he is glad that
Jameson Oster will making
the trip with him.
“Coach Jameson has really
helped me,” Ramos
said. “He’s given me a lot of
pointers on freestyle wrestling,
and it’s great that he
will be there, too.
“I leave for the team
training center in Colorado
Springs on [Thursday] June
21. It’s a wonderful opportunity
to represent the country
and show off all the hard
work I’ve done. Now I just
have to take advantage of it.

Youth players get a taste of Porter football at camp
Randy Whalen
Freelance Reporter
Lockport Township High
School football coach Dan
Starkey has had plenty of
success in his time as head
coach at three different
schools. He’s taken them all
to the state playoffs and has
nine postseason appearances
overall, including two years
ago at Lockport.
But Starkey is especially
proud of what he and the
football team put on starting
last week and continuing
through next week.
That’s the Porter Football
Youth Summer Skills Camp.
It opened on June 11 and is
to continue on Mondays and
Wednesdays for six sessions
through June 27, at LTHS.
The informational flyer lists
the camp as specifically designed
for all youth players
looking to practice and
develop skills in a safe setting.
Instruction at the camp
includes age-appropriate
strength and conditioning
taught by power lifting instructor
Cory Dillard, and
skill development at offensive
and defensive positions
led by Lockport coaches and
varsity football players.
It is a non-padded, no
contact camp. Players bring
their own football cleats and
gym shoes and camp is to
go on rain or shine. The $60
cost includes six sessions
and a Porter Football Skills
Camp T-shirt.
“This is the fourth year
we’ve done the skills
camp,” Starkey said. “This
is one of the best things I’ve
done as a head coach. Not
only does it give local youth
an opportunity to learn the
skills of the game, it gives
our high school kids an
opportunity to work community
service — which is
required now anyway — an
opportunity to do that with
something that they love.”
Starkey, who enters his
fifth season at Lockport this
fall, started the camp in the
summer of 2015. It’s open to
all youth players age 5-14.
While there are six sessions,
the camp is dived into age
groups. Players ages 5-9
only attend for an hour, from
5:30-6:30 p.m., while the
players ages 10-14 go from
5:30-7:30 p.m.
“In the first hour, we work
with the younger kids and we
keep it real simple,” Starkey
said. “When that’s happening,
the older kids get a lot
of work with coach Dillard
on strength and conditioning
as well as power lifting.”
Dillard is the offensive
coordinator on the varsity
team, a position he was promoted
to last year.
“During this camp, we
have an hour of strength and
agility for the older kids,”
said Dillard, who will be in
his fifth season on the Porter
staff this fall. “We try to
make it a competition, that
way the kids are having fun
with it. [After a few years]
we are now starting to see
kids come through the program,
who have been to the
camp, and become young
men. It’s pretty cool.”
On the second day of
the camp, which was last
Wednesday, June 13, a couple
of the participants were
glad to be there.
“It’s going good, I really
like it,” said Colin Lyndsey,
who will be an eighth-grader
at Homer Jr. High this fall.
“It’s my first year here and
I’m learning some skills. I
like how they teach you everything.
They teach you the
basics and then it gets harder
and harder. But it’s fun.”
The campers had the opportunity
to pick what position
they wanted to play.
Lyndsey said he didn’t know
what he wanted to do yet,

but that he wanted to play
defense. But Cole Holloway,
an 11-year-old who is
going into seventh grade at
Oak Prairie this fall, wants
to play offense.
“I’ve been coming here all
four years,” Holloway said.
“I like how they teach you
what positions there are and
then you get to pick your position.
I want to be a wide receiver.
I like running routes
and scoring touchdowns. I
have fun coming to camp.
There’s always improvement
and you get better every
year.”
That’s the plan as Starkey
and the rest of the coaches
are happy to instill quality
fundamentals in the local
youth before they hopefully
become Porters.
“We work on the different
positions on offense in the
first day and then defense in
the second session,” Starkey
said. “[In the second week]
Daniel Mancini looks to reel in a catch during a drill.
they get to pick their position
and stick with it the rest
of the time. The kids get a lot
of work with just good fundamental
stuff. Hopefully
that gives them a good foundation
of skills.
“We always have some
seventh- and eighth-graders
that have never played before.
Even as freshman at Lockport,
we get a lot of kids who have
never played. But the idea is
to get them involved with local
teams like the Junior Porters
or the Homer Stallions, as
well as learn the basic skills
here at camp.”

The Lockport Township boys basketball team went 5-1 in a tournament at Grand Valley State University earlier this month.

Ever since he took over as
head coach of the Lockport
Township boys basketball
team, Brett Hespell has tried
to get his team involved in a
number of team building activities.
Well, earlier this month,
the Porters not only got to do
plenty of team building off
the court, they showed their
improvement on the court,
too.
That happened on the
weekend of June 8-10 as
Lockport traveled on its annual
summer trip and went
to Grand Valley State University
to participate in a
tournament there.
“We did something a little
unique this year by taking 18
kids and bringing along five
sophomores,” Hespell said.
“We all stayed in the dorms
there. Since we had 18 guys
with us, we had two different
teams. It was our first
time there and it was great.
I was looking for someplace
I could take two teams. I
mixed a lot of guys between
the two teams, but our top
team went 5-1 and won our
bracket.
“That team’s only loss
was to Grand Rapids Catholic
Central, which was the
Michigan state runner-up
last season. We led that
game by two until they hit
a three with less than four
seconds to play to beat us
by one. Most of our main returning
guys — Jacob Karli,
Tommy Halatek, and Matt
Hatzopoulos — were on that
team. But our other team,
which included the five
sophomores, went 2-4 and
should have been 3-3. Still,
with the young kids, that
team acquitted themselves
quite well also.”
The Porters loss for their
5-1 team came on June 9 in
pool play. They won their
bracket play to cap off the
tournament.
Another thing the team
did on the weekend was to
take a trip out to Grand Haven
Beach.
“The guys enjoyed that,”
Hespell said. “We had a
beach Scavenger Hunt
which got quite intense as
the judging was going on.”
Something else that Hespell
did on the trip was to instill
the team “pillars” earlier
in the season.
“We tried something new
and had our annual preseason
meeting where we
establish our team ‘pillars’ in
the summer,” Hespell said.
”These are the values that
we try to live by during the
season. We have done that
every year, but we usually
wait until right before the
season in the second week of
November.
“These [pillars] are three
to four things that we’re going
to do better than anyone
else. I’m not talking about
game related things, like
rebounding. These are character
things. I thought the
summer was a better time to
do this, because the sophomores
were with us and I
wanted the younger kids involved
in that dialogue this
year. They were very attentive
and it was awesome.
“The maturity that these
guys displayed and the willingness
to talk about the
things that are important to
them out of their Lockport
basketball experience are
what make me proud to be
their coach,” Hespell added.
Being a player there, as
well as a lower level coach
and a student of the game,
Hespell is aware of the rich
history of success that the
Porters have on the court. So
much so that his tag phrase
for the program is “uncommon”
because of the uncommon
history of the program.
After a not common record
of 7-18 last season, he believes
this year’s group has
what it takes to turn that record
around.
“Going through it was
rough at that time,” said Hespell,
of last season, which
included five overtime losses
and 11 losses by eight points
or less. “But I can already see
the difference. We learned
how to play last year, but not
how to win.
“That’s why it was big for
us to win a competition in
Michigan. It was great for
those guys to experience and
know all those things that it
takes to win.”
LISTEN UP
“This is one of the best things I’ve done as a head coach. Not
only does it give local youth an opportunity to learn the skills of
the game, it gives our high school kids an opportunity to work
community service.”
