Never Back Down Toy Drive is<br />
10-for-10 in anniversary year<br />
Amanda Stoll, Assistant Editor<br />
It’s been 10 years since<br />
their own No. 10 was taken<br />
too soon, but the Duggan<br />
family continues to<br />
honor the memory of their<br />
son Sean through the annual<br />
Never Back Down Toy<br />
Drive on Aug. 7 — Sean’s<br />
birthday.<br />
This year marks the tenth<br />
year of the drive, held the<br />
day Sean would be turning<br />
20. Instead, the Sean Duggan<br />
Foundation hopes to<br />
collect more than 1,000 toys<br />
for children fighting similar<br />
battles to Sean’s.<br />
“In the community, it’s<br />
something that everyone<br />
looks forward to participating<br />
in, and it’s a way to help<br />
children currently in the<br />
situation that we found ourselves<br />
in 10 years ago,” said<br />
Sean’s father, John Duggan.<br />
He said there are more<br />
people in the community<br />

The Never Back Down Toy<br />
Drive began in 2009 and<br />
honors Sean Duggan, who<br />
died of cancer that year<br />
when he was 10 years old.<br />
than many realize who are<br />
currently struggling with<br />
childhood cancer.<br />
“It’s just a way to show<br />
support for everybody that’s<br />
been affected by cancer and<br />
to try to help the children,<br />
specifically, that are currently<br />
trying to get well,”<br />
Duggan said.<br />
While many cancer organizations<br />
strive to collect<br />
funds for research, Duggan<br />
said the main purpose<br />
of the toy drive is to make<br />
an immediate impact on<br />
children’s lives, which is<br />
something research money<br />
cannot do.<br />

Orland Park man<br />
dead after crash in<br />
Frankfort Township<br />
T.J. Kremer III<br />
Contributing Editor<br />
An Orland Park man died<br />
July 10 after his vehicle<br />
ended up in a ditch late in<br />
the evening of July 9 on the<br />
north side of LaPorte Road<br />
in Mokena, according to a<br />
press release from the Will<br />
County Sheriff’s Office.<br />
Michael B. Anderson, 45,<br />
was transported to Silver<br />
Cross Hospital’s emergency<br />
room, where he was pronounced<br />
deceased at 12:02<br />
a.m. July 10, according to a<br />
press release issued the same<br />
day by the Will County Coroner’s<br />
Office.<br />
An autopsy performed that<br />
day noted the cause of death<br />
as multiple injuries due to a<br />
single-vehicle crash at La-<br />
Porte Road and 114th Place<br />
in Frankfort Township, according<br />
to the Coroner’s<br />
Office. The final manner of<br />
death is to be determined<br />
by the coroner after toxicology<br />
and medical reports are<br />
completed, according to the<br />
release.<br />
Frankfort police were<br />
following a vehicle they attempted<br />
to stop for speeding,<br />
according to the release<br />
from the Sheriff’s Office.<br />
Sheriff’s deputies reportedly<br />
attempted to assist; however,<br />
Frankfort police advised that<br />
they were no longer following<br />
the vehicle but gave the<br />
description as a white Chevy<br />
Impala.<br />
While on routine patrol<br />
in the area of Route 30 and<br />
Schoolhouse Road, a deputy<br />
reportedly spotted the offending<br />
vehicle heading<br />
westbound on Route 30. The<br />
deputy turned on his emergency<br />
lights, but the driver,<br />
From July 10<br />
later identified as Anderson,<br />
refused to stop, according to<br />
the release. Anderson reportedly<br />
continued northbound<br />
on Schoolhouse approaching<br />
Francis Road, attempted<br />
to turn west onto Francis<br />
but spun out and continued<br />
eastbound on Francis. The<br />
deputy then turned off his<br />
emergency lights, stopped<br />
following the driver and<br />
cleared the stop, police said.<br />
A short time later, a different<br />
sheriff’s deputy observed<br />
a vehicle wrecked in<br />
the ditch on the north side<br />
of LaPorte Road, near East<br />
Brightway Road in Mokena,<br />
according to the Sheriff’s<br />
Office. The report states that<br />
the Mokena Fire Protection<br />
District arrived on scene and<br />
extricated Anderson from<br />
the vehicle.<br />
Initial reports indicate<br />
that Anderson was traveling<br />
westbound on LaPorte when<br />
he lost control of his vehicle<br />
while crossing the railroad<br />
tracks. The vehicle struck a<br />
guardrail on the north side of<br />
LaPorte and broke free from<br />
its supports, and the vehicle<br />
came to rest in the ditch, police<br />
said.<br />
According to the report,<br />
open alcohol was found in<br />
the Chevy Impala at the time<br />
of the accident. Anderson<br />
had active warrants out of<br />
Cook County for larceny and<br />
violating probation.<br />
The Chevy Impala was<br />
not Anderson’s vehicle, according<br />
to police.<br />

Summit Hill D161 Board of Education<br />
Board members prepare for 2018-2019 school year<br />
Caitlin Fyfe<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
The Summit Hill D161<br />
Board of Education unanimously<br />
voted July 11 to approve<br />
goals for the upcoming<br />
school year, in addition<br />
to discussing a preliminary<br />
2018-19 District budget,<br />
appointing members of a<br />
K-12 district feasibility<br />
committee and approving<br />
the employment of a new<br />
principal for Dr. Julian Rogus<br />
School.<br />
The appointed board<br />
members of the feasibility<br />
committee — David Faber,<br />
Jim Martin, and Board President<br />
Rich Marron — will<br />
investigate the possibility<br />
of transforming D161 into a<br />
K-12 district.<br />
Along with the board<br />
members, the selected<br />
Police reports<br />
Round it Up<br />
A brief recap of other items discussed at the July 11<br />
D161 meeting:<br />
• The updated enrollment report disclosed a total of<br />
2,266 registered kindergarten students, estimating<br />
18-22 children per classroom.<br />
• Enrollment trends from 2015-16 highlighted an<br />
enrollment fluctuation in D161 at Walker Elementary<br />
School and Summit Hill Junior High.<br />
• Additions made to the preliminary budget revealed<br />
the upcoming school year is comparable to the<br />
previous year, aside from the transportation fund.<br />
• Future meetings were scheduled for 7 p.m. Aug. 8<br />
and Aug. 22 at the Mary Drew Administration Center.<br />
committee members will<br />
serve as a segue between<br />
the community and the<br />
board. However, due to<br />
the absence of Martin,<br />
the committee meeting<br />
was postponed for next<br />
week, where the appointed<br />
members will be given more<br />
information.<br />
“We will post that to the<br />
website [summithill.org]<br />
as soon as we have the exact<br />
date and time,” Marron<br />
said.<br />
Julian Rogus's newly appointed<br />
principal, Colin<br />
Bradley, will succeed Michael<br />
Ruffalo at the school.<br />
Bradley previously served<br />
as the assistant principal at<br />
Summit Hill Junior High<br />
School.<br />
As well as making adjustments,<br />
the board also<br />
reinforced the S.M.A.R.T.<br />
Goals Program — an acronym<br />
for specific, measurable,<br />
attainable, realistic,<br />
and timely — as a foundation<br />
for school improvement<br />
in an array of areas.<br />
“I appreciate that we’re<br />
addressing bullying to promote<br />
a safe-learning environment<br />
because I think<br />
that's still very important<br />
and will continue as times<br />
change,” Board Vice President<br />
Stacey Borgens said.<br />
Along with the Illinois<br />
Department of Transporta-<br />
Woman charged with aggravated battery<br />
A California woman faces<br />
multiple misdemeanor criminal<br />
charges after allegedly<br />
trespassing and kicking a<br />
police officer on July 10, according<br />
to Frankfort Deputy<br />
Police Chief Kevin Keegan.<br />
Janelle E. Halbrook, 23,<br />
of 9846 Bartley Ave. in<br />
Santa Fe Springs, Calif., was<br />
charged with aggravated<br />
battery to a police officer,<br />
resisting arrest and criminal<br />
trespass to a residence.<br />
In an email, Keegan reported<br />
officers were called<br />
to a disturbance in the 100<br />
block of Pacific Street involving<br />
a homeowner who<br />
wanted Halbrook removed<br />
from the property.<br />
He stated officers repeatedly<br />
asked Halbrook to leave<br />
willingly, but she refused to<br />
do so, and when they told<br />
her she was under arrest for<br />
trespassing, Halbrook reportedly<br />
would not put her<br />
hands behind her back, continued<br />
to pull her arms away<br />
and kicked the sergeant on<br />
scene, knocking him to the<br />
ground.<br />
Halbrook was allegedly<br />
intoxicated during the incident,<br />
Keegan said.<br />

Frankfort therapeutic riding center assists people with disabilities<br />
Cynthia Freeman<br />
Editorial intern<br />
Animals can often provide<br />
an invaluable source of<br />
comfort and support, and for<br />
individuals with disabilities,<br />
horse-based therapeutic options<br />
can be especially lifechanging.<br />
At the Sojourn Therapeutic<br />
Riding and Equine Assisted<br />
Learning Center in<br />
Frankfort, therapeutic methods<br />
consist of equine-assisted<br />
activities and therapeutic<br />
riding. These techniques are<br />
designed to help riders with<br />
disabilities improve their<br />
cognitive, physical, emotional<br />
and social well-being,<br />
all while enhancing their<br />
lives through the power of<br />
the horse.<br />
This month, Sojourn<br />
opened its doors to the public<br />
to showcase what it has<br />
to offer. The ribbon-cutting<br />
and open house, held from<br />
5-7 p.m. July 11, allowed<br />
visitors to walk around the<br />
facilities, see the horses and<br />
learn more about the company's<br />
work.<br />
Barbara Mulry, Sojourn's<br />
executive director, started<br />
the company about 12<br />
years ago with her own two<br />
horses. Her background in<br />
special education teaching,<br />
combined with having an<br />
Horses at the riding center help people with disabilities<br />
improve their physical, social, emotional and mental<br />
well-being.<br />

autistic brother, has helped<br />
Mulry acquire a sweet spot<br />
for helping individuals with<br />
disabilities.<br />
After years as a successful<br />
therapeutic riding center, the<br />
facility has accumulated 12<br />
therapeutic horses for individuals<br />
to ride and recently<br />
added a lift for people with<br />
paralysis.<br />
Many organizations have<br />
contributed financially to<br />
Sojourn throughout the<br />
years, including the Christopher<br />
and Dana Reeve<br />
Foundation. Without a grant<br />
donation from the foundation,<br />
which helped fund the<br />
paralysis lift, children and<br />
adults with paralysis would<br />
have a much more difficult<br />
time getting atop their<br />
horse.<br />
Although Sojourn is a facility<br />
dedicated to therapeutic<br />
riding and equine-assisted<br />
learning, it also focuses<br />
a good amount of time on<br />
non-verbal and verbal communication<br />
lessons. Participating<br />
riders have various<br />
skill levels; several children<br />
are already riding independently,<br />
while some need the<br />
assistance of a spotter and<br />
others require full support.<br />
The staff at Sojourn TRC<br />
have made the effort to make<br />
sure more skills are taught<br />
than just riding a horse. With<br />
assigned horses, the children<br />
can develop a connection<br />
and relationship with the animals,<br />
as well as really feel<br />
like the horse they are riding<br />
is their horse.<br />
“Another thing we really<br />
try to focus on is having the<br />
child have a lot of rhythm,<br />
have a lot of rhythmic movement,<br />
and then that will help<br />
the child even with balance,"<br />
Mulry said. "Because balance<br />
is very often an issue<br />
for the kids as well."<br />
She also noted, “A rhythm<br />
is very important for relaxation.”<br />
Mulry added that though<br />
relaxation is a key concept<br />
in therapeutic strategies, doing<br />
sports alone is very important<br />
for brain activity. For<br />
the body to be actively doing<br />
something, the brain must<br />
focus on the task at hand,<br />
which comprehensively affects<br />
the individual in a positive<br />
way.<br />
“I think that working with<br />
animals in particular is very<br />
beneficial for all children<br />
and there are very few animals<br />
that will allow you on<br />
their backs and I think that’s<br />
a trust issue," Mulry said.<br />
"So, for children to have that<br />
trust with an animal that’s<br />
actually carrying the child,<br />
I think that that’s a phenomenal<br />
feeling too."<br />

TOYS<br />
From Page 3<br />
“With our circumstance<br />
with our son, it always made<br />
him happy to get a toy no<br />
matter what stage of treatment<br />
he was in,” Duggan<br />
said. “A toy is something<br />
that every child, no matter<br />
what situation they’re facing,<br />
can receive some type<br />
of happiness from, and we<br />
can directly, positively impact<br />
their lives.”<br />
Each year, he said, the donations<br />
have increased, but<br />
last year’s toy drive brought<br />
in more than 1,700 toys, a<br />
goal Duggan said he and his<br />
wife, Jill, could never have<br />
imagined possible.<br />
“I believe we’ve surpassed<br />
the 10,000 toy mark<br />
at this point, which is a<br />
number that when we started<br />
out we thought it would<br />
be great if we could collect<br />
a few hundred toys a year,”<br />
he said.<br />
Individuals and businesses<br />
in the community have<br />
banded together for the<br />
cause throughout the years,<br />
including local businesses<br />
that volunteer to be dropoff<br />
locations. This year,<br />
those drop-off locations are<br />
Peace Community Church<br />
in Frankfort and Zach’s On<br />
Tap in Palos Heights.<br />
Duggan said the families<br />
at Triple R Child Care<br />
of Mokena have also been<br />
huge supporters of the toy<br />
drive throughout the years.<br />
This year has the potential<br />
to be especially meaningful<br />
to the Duggan family. The<br />
No. 10 holds a special place<br />
in their hearts and lives.<br />
“It was [Sean’s] number,<br />
it was his thing,” Duggan<br />
said. So this being the 10th<br />
year marks an important anniversary<br />
for us.”<br />
The drive will collect<br />
new, unwrapped toys appropriate<br />
for children in a range<br />
of ages from newborn to<br />
high school-aged children.<br />
Once collected, the toys will<br />
be distributed to children on<br />
the oncology floor at Ann &<br />
Robert H. Lurie Children’s<br />
Hospital of Chicago.<br />
“No toy is too small of<br />
a donation,” Duggan said.<br />
“Everything is appreciated<br />
by these children at the hospital.”<br />

Fort Frankfort Adventures Day Camp offers summer of fun<br />
Rochelle McAuliffe<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
Nearly 50 excited thirdgraders<br />
walked as orderly<br />
as they could into Chelsea<br />
Middle School the morning<br />
of July 13.<br />
Already dressed in swim<br />
attire, the group had to eat<br />
its lunch quickly, since the<br />
highlight of the week coming<br />
up soon: a trip to the<br />
water park. The children<br />
anxiously ate their food as<br />
they talked about their upcoming<br />
afternoon of fun,<br />
ending another great week<br />
of day camp.<br />
Fort Frankfort Adventures<br />
Summer Day Camp is<br />
back for its fifth year; and<br />
five weeks into the summer<br />
session, it’s the camp's biggest<br />
and busiest summer yet.<br />
Located at Commissioners<br />
Park in Frankfort, the camp<br />
is designed for children entering<br />
first- through fifthgrade<br />
this upcoming school<br />
year. It operates from 9 a.m.<br />
to 4 p.m. Monday through<br />
Friday, with a before and<br />
after care option available.<br />
A partnership between<br />
the Frankfort Park District<br />
and Frankfort School District<br />
157-C allows for the<br />
camp to use Chelsea Middle<br />
School as a facility for the<br />
camp’s before and after<br />
care, as well as a refuge during<br />
inclement weather.<br />
The camp runs for eight<br />
weeks starting June 11 and<br />
runs through the week of<br />
Aug. 3. Each week has a<br />
different theme, and the<br />
activities and field trips are<br />
structured around it. Prior<br />
themes included “Animal<br />
Planet” and a trip to the<br />
Morton Arboretum, as well<br />
as “Olympic Games” with<br />
a trip to Gizmo’s in Orland<br />
Park. This week’s theme<br />
was “Holiday Fun” and included<br />
a trip to Santa’s Village.<br />
Stephanie Furlong, 23, of<br />
Frankfort, is in her fourth<br />
summer as a counselor at<br />
Fort Frankfort. Since she<br />
works as a teacher the rest<br />
of the year, she enjoys the<br />
opportunity to head to camp<br />
for the summer.<br />
“I’m a teacher, so I like<br />
working with kids, and I<br />
like being with the kids in<br />
the summer," she said. "I<br />
think [camp] is really enjoyable,<br />
and offers a different<br />
dynamic than the classroom.<br />
It's a fun thing to be a<br />
part of.”<br />
Furlong’s fellow counselor<br />
Grace Brazzale, 23,<br />
Runners participate in 18th<br />
Short Run on a Long Day race<br />
Submitted by Frankfort<br />
Park District<br />
The Frankfort Park District’s<br />
18th annual Short Run<br />
on a Long Day 5K run/walk<br />
was held 7 p.m. June 20 at<br />
Main Park, 400 W. Nebraska<br />
St. in Frankfort. This year’s<br />
run had 390 registered runners.<br />
Ben Hedges, 22, of Wilmington,<br />
was the first place<br />
overall male winner with a<br />
time of 17 minuntes, 11.1<br />
seconds and Julie Crutchfield,<br />
37, of Mokena, was<br />
the first place overall female<br />
winner with a time of<br />

tion, the board previously<br />
approved and recognized<br />
the existence of hazardous<br />
transportation routes,<br />
a series of streets or intersections<br />
where children<br />
are within 1.5 miles of the<br />
school and would walk if<br />
not for the existence of<br />
hazardous roadways, which<br />
includes 80th Avenue,<br />
North Avenue, and 88th<br />
Avenue.<br />
“We approve this and it<br />
allows us to apply for funding<br />
from the State of Illinois<br />
for some portion of the<br />
transportation fund,” Marron<br />
said.<br />
Marron also provided the<br />
board with updates on the<br />
intergovernmental agreement<br />
with Union School<br />
District 81 concerning the<br />
preparation of meals under<br />
the National School Lunch<br />
Program beginning the first<br />
day of school.<br />
“Again, this intergovernmental<br />
agreement is with<br />
of New Lenox, is studying<br />
education and is utilizing<br />
those skills this summer at<br />
camp.<br />
“I'm going to school for<br />
teaching right now, and I<br />
work in a school during<br />
the school year, so this is<br />
just a lot of fun,” Brazzale<br />
said.<br />
While the Frankfort Park<br />
District doesn’t have its<br />
own pool, that doesn’t keep<br />
these campers out of the<br />
water. Thanks to the partnerships<br />
formed with the<br />
Village of Orland Park and<br />
the Tinley Park Park District,<br />
campers travel via bus<br />
to Centennial Park Pool in<br />
Orland Park or White Water<br />
Canyon in Tinley Park multiple<br />
times a week.<br />
“The camp tries to swim<br />
twice a week,” said Gina<br />
Hasset, executive director<br />
for the Frankfort Park<br />
District. “It's challenging<br />
because we don't have our<br />
own pool in town, so they<br />
are traveling to get to water.<br />
It certainly speaks volumes<br />
though; one of the staples of<br />
summer for kids is getting<br />
into the pool.”<br />
One camper was anxious<br />
for the afternoon’s outing<br />
to White Water Canyon, as<br />
swimming was his favorite<br />
activity at Fort Frankfort.<br />
When asked how many<br />
times he’s been swimming<br />
this summer, he smiled as<br />
he said, “way too many.”<br />
Hasset said she believes<br />
Fort Frankfort Adventure<br />
Camp allows children to be<br />
children during the summer<br />
and make the most out of<br />
essential leisure time.<br />
“Leisure time is so important<br />
that we sometimes<br />
Union School D81; however,<br />
they do not supply any<br />
services to D161," Marron<br />
said. "The Union does not<br />
profit from this agreement, it<br />
is simply a pass-through that<br />
allows us to use the National<br />
School Lunch Program to<br />
supply lunches within the<br />
nutritional guidelines that<br />
we have to follow in order<br />
to get reimbursed from the<br />
Federal Government.”<br />
forget about it," Hasset said.<br />
"We have more leisure time<br />
than you do work time or<br />
school time, but we don’t<br />
always realize it’s there. I<br />
love it when I visit, and I see<br />
they're tie-dyeing or playing<br />
kickball, or even just having<br />
relaxed social time with<br />
one another; that although<br />
they’re not in school, they're<br />
not inside playing video<br />
games. It’s just so great to<br />
see that can still happen in<br />
this day where were driven<br />
by technology.”<br />
Parents still interested<br />
in enrolling their child in<br />
camp can register their child<br />
for the upcoming week one<br />
week prior, if space is available.<br />
Registration must<br />
be done in person at the<br />
Founders Community Center.<br />

Further review of Lincoln-Way<br />
District 843 was<br />
previously cut short due<br />
to a tornado warning in<br />
Frankfort on June 26. All<br />
administrative reports were<br />
postponed attributable to the<br />
absence of a representative<br />
but Marron stated, “No action<br />
was made because there<br />
was nothing that required<br />
attention, which is always<br />
good news.”<br />

The frankfort station’s<br />
Standout Student<br />
Sponsored by Marquette Bank<br />
I know they will all become<br />
role models for others<br />
through their great successes<br />
in the future.<br />
Sydney Koehne,<br />
Lincoln-Way East<br />
High School senior<br />
Sydney Koehne was chosen as<br />
this week’s Standout Student<br />
for her academic excellence<br />
What is one essential you<br />
must have when studying?<br />
I have to have quiet, or<br />
else I get distracted, and notecards.<br />
Making notecards<br />
helps me remember material<br />
better.<br />
What do you like to do<br />
when not in school or<br />
studying?<br />
I like to play bass, read,<br />
and listen to music. I’m<br />
also involved in a lot of extracurricular<br />
activities like<br />
stage crew, Scholastic Bowl<br />
and Key Club.<br />
What is your dream job and<br />
why?<br />
I’m not sure exactly what<br />
career I want, but I’m going<br />
to major in neuroscience<br />
and chemistry. I hope to be<br />
able to do research in those<br />
fields.<br />
What is one thing people<br />
don’t know about you?<br />
I’ve been really interested<br />
in entomology, the study of<br />
insects, since I was 7 years<br />
old.<br />
Whom do you look up to<br />
and why?<br />
I look up to all of my<br />
friends who are amazingly<br />
smart and constantly challenge<br />
and encourage me<br />
to be the best I can be. My<br />
friends have taught me so<br />
much over the years, and<br />
What do you keep under<br />
your bed?<br />
Not much, aside from<br />
some extra blankets and pillows.<br />
Who is your favorite<br />
teacher and why?<br />
Madame Goetsch is my<br />
favorite teacher because she<br />
builds up a good rapport<br />
with her students and wants<br />
everyone to succeed. She<br />
also encourages us every<br />
day to expand our skills in<br />
French and to develop our<br />
worldviews.<br />
What is your favorite class<br />
and why?<br />
My favorite class is<br />
French because it’s always<br />
interesting to learn a new<br />
language and to learn about<br />
francophone cultures. My<br />
classmates are all very supportive<br />
of everyone else, so<br />
it’s a friendly learning environment.<br />
What is one thing that<br />
stands out about your<br />
school?<br />
We have really great<br />
school spirit, which is not<br />
something you see at every<br />
high school.<br />
What extracurriculars do<br />
you wish your school had?<br />
I wish my school had<br />
a cooking club because I<br />
don’t really know how to<br />
cook, and I’d like to learn<br />
how. At North we had one,<br />
and I always looked forward<br />
to it.<br />
What’s your morning<br />
routine?<br />
I wake up, shower, get<br />
ready, then go to school. It’s<br />
photo submitted<br />
not very complicated. I usually<br />
make a cup of coffee in<br />
the mornings too.<br />
If you could change one<br />
thing about school, what<br />
would it be?<br />
I would change the required<br />
classes and I would<br />
add more science courses.<br />
There are so many classes<br />
I wanted to take but was<br />
unable to due to a lack of<br />
space in my schedule, like<br />
AP Bio.<br />
What is your favorite thing<br />
to eat in the cafeteria?<br />
I like the chicken bowls<br />
and tacos.<br />
What is your best memory<br />
from school?<br />
In the summer of 2017 I<br />
went on the school trip to<br />
France. It was an extremely<br />
memorable experience, and<br />
I’m so fortunate that I participated<br />
in this trip. Plus,<br />
it was awesome to use my<br />
French abilities in the real<br />
world.<br />

Silsbee<br />
Cynthia Reynolds, Frankfort resident<br />
This is Silsbee. We heard her cries and<br />
found her stuck about four feet down<br />
the drain pipe of our downspout gutter<br />
system. We tried for about two hours<br />
to coax her out and finally made a dog<br />
catcher’s loop, waited for her to walk<br />
through it, then cinched it. After a bath<br />
and some cuddling, she was fine. She is so smart and doing amazingly well for<br />
what she’s been through. She is now six weeks old, and we named her Silsbee<br />
because we recently purchased a historic home designed and built by renowned<br />
Chicago architect Joseph Lyman Silsbee. Each time we’re at the house we<br />
discover a new surprise; this last time it was a little kitty in need of assistance.<br />

Photo Op<br />
This week’s Photo<br />
Op comes from<br />
Jeanne Dresden,<br />
who fed some<br />
ducks with her<br />
granddaughter<br />
Haylee.<br />
“It was a hot day but<br />
very enjoyable there<br />
with a nice breeze,”<br />
she said. “We then<br />
went to see Maria<br />
at Short and Sweet<br />
Tasty Treats to<br />
cool off with some<br />
bubblegum ice<br />
cream. They have<br />
the best chocolates<br />
and ice cream.”<br />

Sink’s Shots<br />
Frankfort resident Dale Sink took<br />
this photo of a squirrel in his<br />
backyard.<br />
"They are not rare, but this guy<br />
showed up with such a beautiful tail<br />
and posed so nicely that I had to<br />
take his picture,” he said.<br />
Dale Sink is a Frankfort resident who<br />

FROM THE MOKENA MESSENGER<br />
Resale shop opens in Mokena<br />
to benefit local animal shelter<br />
In addition to adopting, volunteering<br />
or donating, locals<br />
can add shopping to the list<br />
of things they can do to help<br />
out NAWS animal rescue in<br />
Mokena.<br />
Resale for Rescues opened<br />
July 2 on Front Street, and the<br />
shelves are brimming with<br />
secondhand items awaiting a<br />
second chance.<br />
The idea of saving things<br />
that someone else did not<br />
want and finding them a new<br />
home parallels the mission<br />
of NAWS to find homes for<br />
abandoned or stray animals.<br />
Proceeds from the shop,<br />
after paying for rent and utilities,<br />
go directly to NAWS to<br />
support its financial needs and<br />
those of the animals it brings<br />
in.<br />
Many times, the animals<br />
NAWS brings in are in need<br />
of medical attention, in addition<br />
to the food, supplies and<br />
regular veterinary care the<br />
animals also will need.<br />
The store takes donations<br />
and sells items such as furniture,<br />
clothing, home goods,<br />
shoes, purses and jewelry. It<br />
does not accept large electronics,<br />
such as televisions or<br />
large appliances.<br />
Owner Connie George said<br />
the resale shop has been a<br />
dream of hers for years, but<br />
after her 50th birthday she decided<br />
to drop everything and<br />
do it for the animals.<br />
“When we started this, I<br />
was volunteering at NAWS,”<br />
George said. “And this was<br />
like my dream ... to have a<br />
resale shop that the profits<br />
would go to for the animals<br />
because they are so unheard.<br />
They have no voice.”<br />

FROM THE NEW LENOX PATRIOT<br />
Historical society replaces<br />
stained glass windows in<br />
119-year-old church<br />
It has been an expensive<br />
year for the New Lenox Area<br />
Historical Society.<br />
It started with purchasing<br />
the 116-year-old railroad<br />
depot last winter, and the<br />
resources spent to save the<br />
structure from being demolished.<br />
Then, there was also the<br />
acquisition of the 119-yearold<br />
former Methodist church<br />
after that.<br />
“We depleted our budget<br />
this year, but this is all important<br />
to us,” said Dianne Ross,<br />
a member of the historical society.<br />
In addition to purchasing<br />
the church, located at 112<br />
Church St., the restoration<br />
efforts are another expense.<br />
Last month, the historical society<br />
repurposed three large<br />
stained-glass windows that<br />
were long overdue for being<br />
re-leaded. The windows<br />
have not been re-leaded since<br />
the church was built in 1899.<br />
Ross said leading lasts 70-80<br />
years.<br />
Ross hired Cathedral Crafts<br />
Stained Glass Studio to relead<br />
the windows, touch-up<br />
parts where there was intricate<br />
painting, re-trim the outside,<br />
clean and place a protective<br />
covering to protect the glass.<br />
“The gentlemen who owns<br />
the stained glass studio took<br />
one of the really bad ones out<br />
said, ‘I’ve never seen one this<br />
bad,’” Ross said.<br />

FROM THE LOCKPORT LEGEND<br />
Lockport Citizens Police<br />
Academy promotes<br />
partnership with residents<br />
The Lockport Police Department<br />
is accepting applications<br />
for its annual Citizens<br />
Police Academy, which starts<br />
this September and looks to<br />
continue building partnerships<br />
with community members.<br />
The academy is open to<br />
anyone ages 18 and older who<br />
either lives, works or goes to<br />
school in Lockport. Participants<br />
are to meet at the Lockport<br />
Police Department, 1212<br />
S. Farrell Road, from 6-9 p.m.<br />
every Monday starting Sept.<br />
10 for 12 weeks.<br />
There are already nine spots<br />
filled of the 16 allotted for the<br />
program. Participants are to<br />
not only get a chance to learn<br />
about the various aspects of<br />
the police department through<br />
this interactive program, but<br />
they also are to learn a lot<br />
about the people behind the<br />
badges.<br />
“So this course gives the<br />
opportunity to the citizens of<br />
Lockport to come into our<br />
world, I guess you could say,<br />
and get to know us not as the<br />
officers but as the people who<br />
do the job and protect them,”<br />
program coordinator officer<br />
Jeren Szmergalski said. “And<br />
it gives them a little sense of<br />
what we go through as regular<br />
people in this profession, how<br />
it affects us, how it affects our<br />
families [and] what mindset<br />
we’re in when we’re out doing<br />
our various jobs.”<br />

FROM THE TINLEY JUNCTION<br />
Tinley Park veteran relishes<br />
Honor Flight trip<br />
Tinley Park’s Jack “Whitey”<br />
Hoffmeister was among<br />
roughly 100 veterans greeted<br />
with a hero’s welcome at Chicago’s<br />
International Midway<br />
Airport.<br />
Hoffmeister, a longtime<br />
resident nicknamed for his<br />
unmistakable snowy hair,<br />
returned from Washington,<br />
D.C., July 11 to a group of<br />
family members and wellwishers,<br />
including Gov. Bruce<br />
Rauner, who thanked the<br />
Honor Flight Chicago veterans<br />
returning from their day<br />
trip. Founded in 2008, the<br />
nonprofit provides veterans<br />
and one family member with<br />
an all-expenses-paid day of<br />
tribute that features stops at<br />
war memorials and ceremonies<br />
of appreciation.<br />
Growing up in a Rogers<br />
Park orphanage, Hoffmeister<br />
started his career in the United<br />
States Navy back in the early<br />
1950s, serving in Korea from<br />
1952-1953 before ending his<br />
military service in the U.S.<br />
Marine Corps as a combat<br />
corpsman.<br />
“It’s an honor, quite an<br />
honor,” the 86-year-old Korean<br />
War veteran said. “But<br />
it’s really for all the guys who<br />
didn’t come back home.”<br />

cuisine, listen to live music<br />
and spend time together celebrating<br />
the culture.<br />
This year, Be Greek for a<br />
Day is to be held July 20-22,<br />
at the church, 15625 S. Bell<br />
Road in Homer Glen.<br />
“We just wanted to try to<br />
go an extra day on a Friday<br />
to open it up and try something<br />
different,” said the Rev.<br />
Sotirios “Father Sam” Dimitriou,<br />
of Assumption Greek<br />
Orthodox.<br />
Included in the three-day<br />
lineup is live band performances<br />
throughout the weekend.<br />
On Friday, the classic<br />
rock band Anthem is to perform<br />
from 7:30-10:30 p.m.,<br />
and the Greek band Ormi is to<br />
perform from 5-10 p.m. Saturday<br />
and Sunday.<br />
“It’s something different<br />
for us here in our area, because,<br />
really, when’s the last<br />
time we had live Greek music<br />
in Homer Glen,” Dimitriou<br />
asked. “And it’s something<br />
for the people to experience a<br />
live Greek band.”<br />

FROM THE ORLAND PARK PRAIRIE<br />
Sandburg grad Coyne is the<br />
only woman in new pro<br />
hockey league<br />
The Chicago Pro Hockey<br />
League opened play July 11<br />
with 143 men listed on various<br />
rosters.<br />
And one woman.<br />
Sandburg graduate Kendall<br />
Coyne, who earlier this year<br />
won a gold medal for the United<br />
States in women’s hockey,<br />
is the lone woman in the firstyear<br />
league, which features<br />
more than 80 players from<br />
the National Hockey League,<br />
the American Hockey League<br />
and the East Coast Hockey<br />
League, as well as amateurs<br />
from colleges, junior teams<br />
and Triple A programs.<br />
Coyne, 26, had played with<br />
and against boys when she<br />
was younger, so this is not<br />
new territory for her. She also<br />
is not the only player from the<br />
area who will participate in<br />
the league, which is to play<br />
its games at MB Ice Arena in<br />
Chicago, which is the Blackhawks’<br />
community rink.<br />
Nine players listed from<br />
Orland Park are a part of the<br />
league.<br />
“Knowing there are so<br />
many NHL and pro players<br />
who live and train in Chicago<br />
during the offseason, we felt a<br />
summer pro league with ties<br />
to local charities would be<br />
great for the hockey community,”<br />
said Anders Sorensen,<br />
player development coach for<br />
the Chicago Blackhawks and<br />
director of player development<br />
with the Chicago Mission.<br />
“Having coached and<br />
worked with a lot of these<br />
players throughout their youth<br />
and junior development years,<br />
and now while they are playing<br />
pro hockey, we felt a summer<br />
pro league would be really<br />
well received by the guys.”<br />

Staying safe and healthy during the summer<br />
Amanda Stoll<br />
a.stoll@22ndcenturymedia.com<br />
Getting in shape, or<br />
staying in shape, can<br />
be fun, challenging<br />
and rewarding, but what<br />
it does not have to be is dangerous.<br />
More than once, I have<br />
found myself overexerting<br />
myself in the heat and blazing<br />
sun during the summer.<br />
Whether it is yard work,<br />
spending a day on the lake<br />
or exercising, dehydration<br />
and heat exhaustion are<br />
nothing to joke about.<br />
Being hydrated and being<br />
aware of your body are the<br />
biggest factors to prevent<br />
a dangerous summertime<br />
situation.<br />
Yes, beating your 5K time<br />
or checking some things off<br />
your to-do list are fantastic<br />
goals for sure, being smart<br />
about the time of day and<br />
the location of your outdoor,<br />
physical activities are more<br />
important.<br />
In hot, humid and sunny<br />
conditions, your body cannot<br />
handle the same level<br />
of physical exertion that it<br />
can in cool, shady or dry<br />
conditions. This might seem<br />
to be common sense, but I<br />
know sometimes my own<br />
ambition can get in the way<br />
of my reasoning.<br />
If you’ve ever found<br />
yourself overexerted on a<br />
hot day, you are probably<br />
much the same as me in that<br />
way.<br />
For me, it feels like<br />
admitting defeat or wimping<br />
out, but I assure you it is not<br />
worth landing yourself in<br />
the local emergency room,<br />
or worse.<br />
Heat-related illnesses are<br />
not isolated to dehydration<br />
or heat exhaustion, either.<br />
Some people experience<br />
heat-related rashes and skin<br />
conditions. More serious<br />
cases can lead to heat<br />
stroke, which is a type of<br />
hyperthermia where the<br />
body cannot cool itself and<br />
core body temperature rises.<br />
Basically, the opposite of<br />
hypothermia.<br />
High temperature is the<br />
main risk-factor associated<br />
with heat-related illnesses,<br />
but high humidity and<br />
physical activity multiply<br />
the chances of someone<br />
falling ill.<br />
Those over the age of 65<br />
and children 4 and younger<br />
also have an increased risk<br />
of overheating.<br />
While allowing yourself<br />
to get dehydrated and<br />
overexerted are a gateway<br />
to heat-related illness, other<br />
factors such as sunburn,<br />
alcohol consumption and<br />
certain medications can all<br />
play a role, as well.<br />
It is easy to over do that<br />
while tossing back a couple<br />
of cold ones by the pool and<br />
then simultaneously forgetting<br />
to reapply sunscreen.<br />
According to the Centers<br />
for Disease Control,<br />
symptoms of heat exhaustion<br />
can include: muscle<br />
cramps, general fatigue,<br />
headache, nausea and/or<br />
vomiting, increased pulse,<br />
cool or clammy skin, shallow<br />
breathing, and dizziness<br />
or fainting.<br />
When left untreated, the<br />
condition can worsen and<br />
progress to heat stroke,<br />
which is characterized by a<br />
body temperature of about<br />
“As with people who experience<br />
a high fever from an infection,<br />
increased body temperature can<br />
damage organs and brain tissue or<br />
shut down bodily systems entirely.”<br />
103 degrees. At that point,<br />
their previous symptoms<br />
will worsen and the person<br />
may experience confusion<br />
and loss of consciousness.<br />
As with people who experience<br />
a high fever from<br />
an infection, increased body<br />
temperature can damage<br />
organs and brain tissue or<br />
shut down bodily systems<br />
entirely.<br />
The CDC estimates that<br />
although preventable, more<br />
than 650 people die each<br />
year in the United States<br />
from heat-related illnesses.<br />
That number may be higher<br />
in actuality because reporting<br />
of it as a cause of death<br />
is not required.<br />
Prevent yourself from<br />
falling victim to the heat<br />
this summer by staying hydrated,<br />
protecting yourself<br />
from the sun and knowing<br />
your own limits.<br />
If you are lucky enough<br />
to have a pool, knowing<br />
how to cool down probably<br />
is not much of an issue, but,<br />
if not, having a cold drink of<br />
water, finding respite in the<br />
air conditioning or running<br />
cool water over the inside of<br />
your wrists are good places<br />
to start.<br />
In the event that the heat<br />
does get to be too much, it<br />
is important to seek medical<br />
attention.<br />
Do you know someone<br />
who does not have air<br />
conditioning in their home?<br />
Checking on them during<br />
especially hot weeks, like<br />
the few we have had recently,<br />
could save their life.<br />
Being smart in the sun<br />
might seem like common<br />
sense, and we all know that<br />
protecting yourself from<br />
the sun’s rays can decrease<br />
our risk of skin cancer. This<br />
summer, make sure to protect<br />
yourself from the more<br />
immediate threat of heat<br />
illnesses as well.<br />

In memoriam<br />
Bob Salvino<br />
Bob Salvino, 83, devoted<br />
husband of 58 years to Carrie,<br />
died July 10 in Scottsdale,<br />
Ariz. He was a wonderful<br />
father to Chris, Cindy<br />
(Joe Ojczyk) and Rob (Cindy<br />
Wilcox) and a loving grandfather<br />
of Anna, Mia, Carl,<br />
Alec, Nicholas and Kylie.<br />
His love and good humor<br />
were boundless.<br />
Bob was born at the University<br />
of Chicago hospital to<br />
first generation Italian immigrant<br />
parents and grew up in<br />
the Chatham neighborhood<br />
on the south side of Chicago<br />
with his four brothers, Frank,<br />
Mark, Raymond and Al. He<br />
attended Dixon Elementary<br />
and Hirsch High School and<br />
was a member of the class of<br />
1953.<br />
In the fall of 1953, Bob began<br />
his studies at the University<br />
of Notre Dame, where<br />
he was also a proud Fighting<br />
Irishman for the football and<br />
wrestling teams. After college,<br />
he served in the U.S.<br />
Army, spending one year in<br />
Massachusetts before being<br />
honorably discharged and returning<br />
to Chicago. Soon after,<br />
he began a long-standing<br />
career as a State Farm agent,<br />
serving many home and car<br />
owners in downtown and on<br />
the south side. He and Carolin<br />
moved their family to the<br />
historic town of Frankfort in<br />
1971.<br />
Bob was the cornerstone<br />
of his community and was<br />
always willing to lend a<br />
hand for a worthy cause.<br />
He helped to raise funds to<br />
build St. Anthony Catholic<br />
Church. He worked with<br />
his neighbors to establish<br />
the Prestwick Country Club<br />
and served as its second<br />
president, held numerous<br />
fund raisers for charities<br />
and had more than his share<br />
of mulligans. He served as<br />
a trustee for the Village of<br />
Frankfort.<br />
Bob and Carrie enjoyed<br />
traveling both home and<br />
abroad. After retirement, he<br />
and Carrie spent winters in<br />
Naples, Flo., and Phoenix,<br />
Ariz. Bob loved to golf,<br />
cheer on his beloved Notre<br />
Dame Irish sports teams,<br />
make homemade pasta with<br />
his children and grandchildren<br />
and strike up a conversation<br />
with anyone he met.<br />
He will be deeply missed.<br />
A memorial mass will be<br />
held at 12 p.m. July 24 at St.<br />
Anthony Catholic Church<br />
in Frankfort. Visitation will<br />
begin at 11 a.m. in the vestibule<br />
of the church. His<br />
ashes will be laid to rest at<br />
Cedar Grove Cemetery on<br />
the campus of Notre Dame.<br />
In lieu of flowers, donations<br />
on behalf of Bob can be<br />
made to Standing Tall Charitable<br />
Foundation (stand<br />
ingtallfoundation.org) or<br />
Mercy Home for Boys &<br />
Girls (mercyhome.org).<br />

Bluegrass festival brings weekend of music to Frankfort<br />

The sweet sounds of fiddles,<br />
banjos and mandolins<br />
floated through the air at Breidert<br />
Green on Saturday, July<br />
14, as the Frankfort Bluegrass<br />
on the Green festival made its<br />
eighth consecutive appearance<br />
in the community.<br />
Brooke Groszek, of New<br />
Lenox, has been volunteering<br />
with the festival since it<br />
began.<br />
“I grew up on bluegrass,"<br />
Groszek explained. "My parents'<br />
festival was the Illiana<br />
Festival in Crete.<br />
“When we first started, it<br />
was by the Grainery — the<br />
kids' area was so small. I<br />
worked with the Frankfort<br />
Park District with a few<br />
crafts. Today, we have over<br />
15 vendors. We only had a<br />
few hundred people attend<br />
when we started; now we<br />
have thousands attend. The<br />
bands are nationwide. Our<br />
festival has been nominated<br />
one of the best bluegrass<br />
festivals in the nation. We<br />
are nonprofit, working yearround<br />
to put this festival together.<br />
We normally run three<br />
fundraisers a year. This year<br />
we had one, which was at<br />
CD & Me, which was all we<br />
needed to do this year."<br />
Several of the musicians<br />
who performed at the festival<br />
have received prestigious accolades<br />
for their work, ranging<br />
from Grammys to International<br />
Bluegrass Music<br />
awards.<br />
“This is bigger than it’s<br />
ever been, it keeps growing<br />
every year,” Groszek<br />
said. “Where can you go to<br />
a free festival and have your<br />
kids entertained all weekend<br />
long? It’s about bringing<br />
families together and teaching<br />
kids about bluegrass music.<br />
Our volunteers sacrifice<br />
our time for the love of the<br />
music, for the love of families<br />
being together.”<br />
The Goldman family spent<br />
the day enjoying the free<br />
sights and sounds of the festival,<br />
winding up the day having<br />
dinner at Trails Edge.<br />
Megan Goldman, of<br />
Frankfort, and her husband,<br />
Gabe, brought their two sons<br />
to the event.<br />
“We have come three<br />
years,” Megan Goldman<br />
said. “We love the music, as<br />
well as being family friendly.<br />
The kids have a great time.<br />
We have a great time at this<br />
festival. We hope this continues<br />
every year. I know it<br />
takes a lot of work especially<br />
for a nonprofit."<br />
Their 6-year-old son Eli<br />
Goldman added, “ I like the<br />
great music, the bubbles and<br />
the fun," while his brother<br />
Malachi, 4, enjoyed having<br />
the park in the middle of the<br />
festival so the family could<br />
play while listening to the<br />
music.<br />
Laurie Mangia, of Frankfort,<br />
came with her friends,<br />
who are fans of Henhouse<br />
Prowlers.<br />
“Bluegrass music makes<br />
you feel good,” Mangia said.<br />
“It’s simple music and makes<br />
you want to get up and dance.<br />
My friends and I purposely<br />
came to the fest today to<br />
see the Henhouse Prowlers.<br />
This festival brings people<br />
in, gives people a chance to<br />
see what we have to offer and<br />
hopefully they’ll come back."<br />
Henhouse Prowlers celebrated<br />
14 years as a band the<br />
day the group took the stage<br />
at the Frankfort Bluegrass<br />
festival.<br />
“I’ve been involved in<br />
bluegrass my whole life,<br />
starting in a family band,”<br />
said Kyle O’Brien, the newest<br />
member of Henhouse<br />
Prowlers . “I joined the Henhouse<br />
Prowlers, a Chicagobased<br />
band, two years ago.<br />
I came out from the West<br />
Coast to travel around.<br />
"Bluegrass means traditional<br />
music that’s been<br />
played by regular people for<br />
a long time. My favorite to<br />
perform is 'Chop my Money'<br />
even though it’s not a bluegrass<br />
tune. We travel around<br />
the world, doing over 130<br />
shows. We also travel Europe<br />
and beyond."<br />
In addition to enjoying<br />
bluegrass, the members of<br />
Henhouse Prowlers are passionate<br />
about helping the<br />
younger generation learn<br />
music and have started a nonprofit<br />
dedicated to that cause.<br />
“We did a workshop earlier<br />
for people who wanted to<br />
hear about our travels and our<br />
nonprofit Bluegrass Ambassadors,”<br />
O'Brien said. “We<br />
are trying to bring bluegrass<br />
music into the lens of students.<br />
We are having a homecoming<br />
fundraiser on July 20<br />
to raise funds for free music<br />
education for Chicago Public<br />
Schools."<br />
More information about<br />
the program can be found at<br />
BluegrassAmbassadors.org.<br />
Band member Ben Wright<br />
said the band had reached a<br />
milestone during its appearance<br />
at the festival.<br />
“Chris has a new song<br />
we’re performing for the first<br />
time on Sunday," he said.<br />
"We waited for the Frankfort<br />
Sawyer Dippold (left) and her mother Katie, of New Lenox,<br />
work on a craft at the children’s tent during the festival.<br />
Ariana Penagos, of Oak Forest, blows bubbles in the park<br />
at the festival.<br />
Bluegrass festival to be the<br />
first to hear it. It’s called 'Departure.'”<br />
Band member Chris Dollar<br />
added his favorite tune<br />
to perform is "Huckleberry<br />
Hornpipe."<br />
O'Brien said it was great<br />
to be back in Frankfort once<br />
more.<br />
"They have a killer lineup,”<br />
he said. “In fact, we are<br />
staying to see Michael Cleveland.<br />
It’s fun to perform on<br />
stage and it’s fun to watch<br />
everyone else play.”

Inaugural Lincoln-Way Foundation Summer Fest rocks for education<br />
laurie fanelli<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
Lincoln-Way High School<br />
District 210 Foundation for<br />
Educational Excellence presented<br />
a fun, new way for the<br />
community to come together<br />
to support local schools on<br />
Friday, July 13, with its inaugural<br />
Lincoln-Way Foundation<br />
Summer Fest.<br />
Held at CD & ME, this<br />
“party with a purpose” featured<br />
not one, but two bands<br />
– Then Again and Johnny<br />
Russler and the Beach Bum<br />
Band – giving parents,<br />
teachers and neighbors a<br />
chance to enjoy a rocking<br />
night out while supporting a<br />
good cause.<br />
Food was available for<br />
purchase by local favorites<br />
Gatto's and Dancing Marlin<br />
while CD & ME offered a<br />
variety of drinks at its cash<br />
bars. The Wexler Group at<br />
Keller Williams, Old Second<br />
Bank, Image360, Kiwanis<br />
Club of Frankfort, Coopers<br />
Hawk Winery & Restaurant,<br />
Illinois State Rep. Margo<br />
McDermed and Glatz Management<br />
Services, Inc. all<br />
came together as sponsors.<br />
Several other local businesses<br />
and individuals also<br />
generously supported the<br />
event as table sponsors and<br />
ticket-buyers.<br />
“We came up with this<br />
idea based upon the desire to<br />
bring the entire community<br />
together and thank them for<br />
supporting our mission of<br />
enhancing student academic<br />
achievement,” explained<br />
Bob Kennedy, the foundation's<br />
executive director.<br />
“We wanted to have a community<br />
event and a casual<br />
event because every year<br />
we have a dinner gala that<br />
is black tie optional. We<br />
wanted to do something that<br />
is less costly and pure fun.”<br />
A big part of the fun<br />
came from the live music<br />
as attendees sang and<br />
danced along to a variety<br />
of popular songs. Not only<br />
were both bands comprised<br />
of very talented musicians,<br />
but they also featured members<br />
of the Lincoln-Way<br />
family as Beach Bum Band<br />
frontman Johnny Russler<br />
and Then Again vocalist<br />
Jayson Polad are both District<br />
210 teachers.<br />
FUNERAL SERVICES DIRECTORY<br />
“Jimmy Buffett is playing<br />
at Wrigley Field tonight, but<br />
we feel like we've got the<br />
better bands here at CD &<br />
ME,” said Kennedy as the<br />
Beach Bum Band shared<br />
their tropical renditions of<br />
tunes by everyone from<br />
Paul Simon to Sublime to<br />
Harry Belafonte. Later, Then<br />
Again turned things up to<br />
eleven with a headlining set<br />
full of rock hits.<br />

LW fest<br />
From Page 23<br />
Manhattan residents Margaret<br />
Secor and Joyce Anderson<br />
enjoyed the “awesome”<br />
music, but they were most<br />
excited about supporting the<br />
Lincoln-Way High School<br />
District 210 Foundation for<br />
Educational Excellence, as<br />
their children attended Lincoln-Way<br />
schools.<br />
“All our kids went to Lincoln-Way,”<br />
Anderson said.<br />
“It's a great education. My<br />
kids were in music. They<br />
were in sports and I can't say<br />
enough good things about<br />
it.”<br />
Helping students get the<br />
most out of their education<br />
is at the heart of the foundation's<br />
goals. According to its<br />
mission statement, the Lincoln-Way<br />
Foundation has<br />
awarded more than $4 million<br />
to benefit the educational<br />
programs of the District<br />
since its inception in 1994.<br />
“Our money that we raise<br />
goes primarily to help enhance<br />
technology at the<br />
schools,” Kennedy said. “In<br />
the last six months, we've<br />
given $121,000 back to the<br />
school in the form of scholarships.”<br />
The foundation also recently<br />
supported the Transition<br />
Program – for students<br />
with disabilities – by<br />
providing resources to help<br />
them purchase new furniture<br />
and noise-canceling<br />
headphones, among other<br />
things.<br />
District 210 community<br />
relations director Taryn Atwell<br />
expressed gratitude for<br />
all of the work done by the<br />
foundation.<br />
“We are so appreciative<br />
of everything the foundation<br />
has done for our students,”<br />
she said. “Their education is<br />
enhanced every day by the<br />
things the foundation does<br />
and all the money they raise<br />
for us.”<br />
As the foundation looks<br />
ahead to 2019 – during<br />
which it will celebrate its<br />
25th anniversary – Kennedy<br />
noted that he and his<br />
18-person volunteer board<br />
continue to be inspired by<br />
Lincoln-Way's passionate<br />
teachers, faculty and staff, as<br />
well as the entire community<br />
as a whole.<br />
“The community has been<br />
so supportive,” he said.<br />
“We're the conduit to collect<br />
the money and make sure it<br />
gets into the right place and<br />
we're only as good as the individuals,<br />
the businesses and<br />
everyone that support us.”<br />

Those in the mood for a<br />
raucous laugh this weekend<br />
are in luck, but they may<br />
want to bring a change of<br />
pants, just in case.<br />
Curtain Call Theatre’s production<br />
of “Urinetown, the<br />
Musical” is a satirical comedic<br />
musical with controversial<br />
topics, such as the legal<br />
system, capitalism, social irresponsibility,<br />
populism, bureaucracy,<br />
corporate mismanagement,<br />
and civic politics.<br />
It answers the question:<br />
What might happen if you<br />
had to pay every time you<br />
needed … to go.<br />
The cast and crew have<br />
been rehearsing since the<br />
week before this past Memorial<br />
Day from 7-10 p.m.<br />
Mondays through Thursdays,<br />
making it eight weeks of fine<br />
tuning everything about the<br />
musical that will keep audience<br />
members cross legged<br />
while laughing out loud.<br />
The entire production has a<br />
total of 20 singers and dancers,<br />
four production people<br />
and another four people in<br />
the music pit.<br />
“What’s special here is<br />
that we are a community program<br />
so this is the first year<br />
we brought back the youth<br />
program for Summer Stock,”<br />
said producer and assistant<br />
director Cheryl Collins. “We<br />
did [“Urinetown”] a couple<br />
years ago. This is the first<br />
time we are bringing on the<br />
musical here in Mokena.<br />
Mokena has just been so welcoming,<br />
we just keep adding<br />
things to our program.<br />
“We’ve been [in Mokena]<br />
for two years now. We wanted<br />
something that the kids<br />
would really like because the<br />
kids here are 16-23 years old.<br />
We wanted to find a piece<br />
that was different but one that<br />
our audiences would like and<br />
one that would hit a note that<br />
the kids would understand.<br />
Right now with what’s going<br />
on in society, this really is a<br />
fun story.”<br />
Curtain Call Theatre has<br />
been responsible for numerous<br />
popular productions, but<br />
the feeling among the cast<br />
and crew of “Urinetown” is<br />
that this one especially will<br />
be a hit.<br />
“This musical is extremely<br />
hilarious and that’s something<br />
I've always been attracted<br />
to,” said Delaney<br />
Schmidt, of Frankfort, who<br />
plays Mrs. Millennium. “I<br />
feel like I’m more of a dramatic<br />
actress, but I really do<br />
enjoy taking part in the comedic<br />
style of acting and all<br />
that. This play is just really<br />
funny and it’s a specific style<br />
in my opinion where it's politically<br />
driven. It has a lot for<br />
everybody, its kid friendly<br />
but also adult friendly, too.<br />
“I find it to be really unique<br />
because you know when you<br />
have a politically driven satire<br />
or something like that, it’s<br />
usually heavy on making fun<br />
of one side of the spectrum.<br />
This one makes fun of all<br />
sides.”<br />
Some of the participants in<br />
this musical said they felt it<br />
was special based on the fact<br />
that the cast and crew have<br />
become close over the years<br />
through working on different<br />
productions together.<br />
“I feel like its special because<br />
of the bonds you grow<br />
with other people,” said Ben<br />
Radeke, of New Lenox, who<br />
plays Hot Blades Harry. “You<br />
get really close to a bunch of<br />
new people that you never<br />
met before, or you get even<br />
closer to the people you already<br />

Distinctive Home Builders Introduces New Craftsman Homes<br />
In Manhattan and Peotone – From the mid-$200’s<br />
New designs are a result of buyer feedback<br />
Two refreshing designs mark<br />
the beginning of a new series<br />
of Craftsman-style homes<br />
available from Distinctive Home<br />
Builders at its latest new home<br />
communities: Prairie Trails;<br />
located in Manhattan within the<br />
highly-regarded Lincoln-Way<br />
School District and at WestGate<br />
Manor in Peotone within<br />
the desirable Peotone School<br />
District.<br />
“Craftsman homes were<br />
introduced in the early 1900s<br />
in California with designs<br />
based on a simpler, functional<br />
aesthetic using a higher level<br />
of craftsmanship and natural<br />
materials. These homes were a<br />
departure from homes that were<br />
mass produced from that era,<br />
“according to Bryan Nooner,<br />
president of Distinctive Home<br />
Builders.<br />
“The Craftsman design has<br />
made a comeback today for<br />
many of the same reasons it<br />
started over a century ago. Our<br />
customers want to live in a home<br />
that gets away from the “mass<br />
produced” look and live in a<br />
home that has more character. As<br />
a result of our daily interaction<br />
with our homeowners and their<br />
input, we are excited to introduce<br />
these two homes, with additional<br />
designs in the works.”<br />
Nooner, who meets with<br />
each homeowner prior to<br />
construction, has been working<br />
on these plans for a while and felt<br />
that the timing was ideal for the<br />
debut. “Customers were asking<br />
for something different and<br />
simple with less monotony and<br />
higher architectural standards.”<br />
The result was the Craftsman<br />
ranch and the Prairie twostory,<br />
now available at Prairie<br />
Trails and WestGate Manor.<br />
The Craftsman ranch features<br />
an open floor plan with Great<br />
Room, three bedrooms, two<br />
baths and a two-car (optional<br />
three-car) garage. The Prairie<br />
features a two-story foyer and<br />
Great Room, three bedrooms<br />
and one and one-half baths, a<br />
convenient Flex Room space<br />
on the main level and a two-car<br />
(optional three-car) garage. The<br />
Craftsman architectural elements<br />
on both homes include brick and<br />
stone exteriors with cedar shake<br />
accent siding, low-pitched gabled<br />
bracket roofs, front porches with<br />
tapered columns and stone piers,<br />
partially paned windows, and a<br />
standard panel front entry door.<br />
Distinctive Home Builders<br />
offers a Craftsman-style trim<br />
package offering trim without<br />
ornate profiles and routers. The<br />
trim features simplicity in design<br />
with rectangles, straight lines and<br />
layered look trims over doors for<br />
example. The front entry door<br />
will have the standard Craftsman<br />
panel style door. Distinctive has<br />
also created a Craftsman color<br />
palate to assist buyers in making<br />
coordinated choices for the<br />
interior of their new Craftsman<br />
home. Colors, cabinet styles and<br />
flooring choices blend seamlessly<br />
with the Craftsman trim package<br />
and are available in gray tones<br />
package and earth tones.<br />
Distinctive offers custom maple<br />
kitchen cabinets featuring solid<br />
wood construction (no particle<br />
board), have solid wood drawers<br />
with dove tail joints, which is<br />
very rare in the marketplace.<br />
“When you buy a new home<br />
from Distinctive, you truly are<br />
receiving custom made cabinets<br />
in every home we sell no matter<br />
what the price range,” noted<br />
Nooner.<br />
Distinctive Home Builders<br />
works to achieve a delivery goal<br />
of 90 days with zero punch list<br />
items for its homeowners. “Our<br />
three decades building homes<br />
provides an efficient construction<br />
system,” said Nooner. “Many of<br />
our skilled craftsmen have been<br />
working with our company<br />
for over 20 years. We also<br />
take pride on having excellent<br />
communicators throughout our<br />
organization. This translates into<br />
a positive buying and building<br />
experience for our homeowners<br />
and one of the highest referral<br />
rates in the industry.”<br />
Nooner added that all homes<br />
are highly energy efficient. Every<br />
home built will have upgraded<br />
wall and ceiling insulation<br />
values with energy efficient<br />
windows and high efficiency<br />
furnaces. Before homeowners<br />
move into their new home,<br />
Distinctive Home Builders<br />
conducts a blower door test that<br />
pressurizes the home to ensure<br />
that each home passes a set of<br />
very stringent Energy Efficiency<br />
guidelines.<br />
With the addition of these two<br />
new designs, there are now 15<br />
ranch, split-level and six twostory<br />
single-family home styles to<br />
choose from each offering from<br />
three to eight different exterior<br />
elevations at both communities.<br />
The three- to four-bedroom<br />
homes feature one and one-half<br />
to two-and-one-half baths, twoto<br />
three-car garages and a family<br />
room, all in approximately 1,600<br />
to over 3,000 square feet of living<br />
space. Basements are included in<br />
most models as well. Distinctive<br />
also encourages customization<br />
to make your new home truly<br />
personalized to suit your lifestyle.<br />
Oversize home sites; brick<br />
exteriors on all four sides of the<br />
first floor; custom maple cabinets;<br />
ceramic tile or hardwood<br />
floors in the kitchen, baths and<br />
foyer; genuine wood trim and<br />
doors and concrete driveways<br />
can all be yours at Prairie<br />
Trails and WestGate Manor.<br />
Most all home sites at Prairie<br />
Trails and WestGate Manor<br />
can accommodate a three-car<br />
garage; a very important amenity<br />
to the Manhattan homebuyer,<br />
said Nooner.<br />
“When we opened Prairie<br />
Trails and WestGate Manor we<br />
wanted to provide the best new<br />
home value for the dollar and<br />
we feel with offering Premium<br />
Standard Features that we do<br />
just that. So why wait? This is<br />
truly the best time to build your<br />
dream home!”<br />
Prairie Trails is also a beautiful<br />
place to live and raise a family<br />
featuring a 20-acre lake on site,<br />
as well as direct access to the 22-<br />
mile Wauponsee Glacial Prairie<br />
Path that borders the community<br />
and meanders through many<br />
neighboring communities and<br />
links to many other popular<br />
trails. The Manhattan Metra<br />
station is less than a mile away.<br />
Besides Prairie Trails,<br />
Distinctive Home Builders<br />
has built homes throughout<br />
Manhattan in the Butternut<br />
Ridge and Leighlinbridge<br />
developments, as well as in the<br />
Will and south Cook county<br />
areas over the past 30 years.<br />
Distinctive Home Builders<br />
chose the Will County village<br />
of Peotone for its newest<br />
community of 38 single-family<br />
homes at WestGate Manor<br />
within walking distance of the<br />
esteemed Peotone High School.<br />
Its convenient location between<br />
Interstate 57 and Illinois Route<br />
50 provide easy access to I-80<br />
and commuters enjoy several<br />
nearby train stations and a<br />
35-minute drive to Chicago.<br />

10 Questions<br />
with Hunter Stumpf<br />
Hunter Stumpf plays for<br />
Frankfort Force and is an<br />
incoming freshman baseball<br />
player at Lincoln-Way<br />
Central<br />
How’d you get started<br />
in baseball?<br />
I started playing baseball<br />
when my dad signed me up<br />
for tee ball when I was 5, and<br />
I have developed a love for<br />
the game ever since.<br />
What keeps you playing<br />
baseball?<br />
I think my love for the<br />
game and the bonds that I<br />
have created with some of<br />
my teammates is what has<br />
kept me playing all these<br />
years.<br />
What’s your favorite<br />
position to play?<br />
My favorite position is<br />
definitely pitcher since I feel<br />
that it lets me be in control of<br />
the game, rather than being in<br />
the infield or outfield where I<br />
might only get to touch the<br />
ball a few times a game.<br />
Who’s your favorite<br />
player?<br />
My favorite player is Mike<br />
Trout [of the Los Angeles Angels]<br />
because of his work ethic<br />
and how he is able to make<br />
adjustments to his game year<br />
after year to become the best<br />
player possible.<br />
What’s your spirit<br />
animal?<br />
My spirit animal is the<br />
dog because it is loyal and<br />
friendly to others, which are<br />
two characteristics that I try<br />
to show in my own life.<br />
What would be the first<br />
thing you’d buy if you<br />
won the lottery?<br />
If I won the lottery I would<br />
pay off my college tuition<br />
and send my parents on a trip<br />
to Europe since they work<br />
extremely hard and I feel that<br />
they need an extended break.<br />
What would be your<br />
dream college to go to?<br />
My dream college right<br />
now is either University of Illinois<br />
or University of North<br />
Carolina.<br />
If you could own an<br />
exotic pet, then what<br />
would it be?<br />
Photo submitted<br />
I would pick a penguin<br />
because they are really cool<br />
looking and I love the way<br />
they look when they waddle<br />
around from place to place.<br />
If you couldn’t play<br />
baseball, then what<br />
other sport would you<br />
play?<br />
I would play basketball<br />
because that’s the other sport<br />
that I have been playing for a<br />
long time other than baseball.<br />
What’s a life lesson<br />
you’ve learned playing<br />
baseball?<br />
Never give up.<br />

Editor T.J. Kremer III<br />
basketball<br />
From Page 46<br />
cluded a Bulls basketball,<br />
a duffel bag, a T-shirt, preseason<br />
Bulls tickets, a White<br />
Sox voucher and a pass for an<br />
exclusive tour of the United<br />
Center.<br />
Coach Jacquelyn Eubanks<br />
has been coaching with the<br />
Bulls and Sox Academy<br />
for two years. She said the<br />
coaching staff tells the players<br />
that every exercise they<br />
complete, regardless of how<br />
fun it may be, has an important<br />
purpose.<br />
The week-long camp drills<br />
participants on their ball handling,<br />
defense, shooting and<br />
passing skills.<br />
“Those are the main fundamentals<br />
that any player needs<br />
to start at," Eubanks said.<br />
"We hope to see them grow<br />
by the end of the camp, each<br />
and every day."<br />
One drill the children practiced<br />
was an exercise called<br />
dribble knockout. The players<br />
had fun dribbling the ball,<br />
but the coaches said the real<br />
purpose behind the exercise<br />
was learning how to dribble<br />
with pressure while staying<br />
within a certain boundary.<br />
“When you mix in some<br />
games, they don’t realize it<br />
at first but they’re using the<br />
drills they learned to play<br />
those games,” Schalk said.<br />
Schalk said learning fundamentals<br />
of the game such<br />
as dribbling with control and<br />
proper shooting techniques<br />
help participants become<br />
overall better players on and<br />
off the court.<br />
“They get to learn different<br />
paces," he said. "If you’re<br />
dribbling up to a defender<br />
you have to change paces<br />
to get by them. It’s learning<br />
angles of the rim, change of<br />
direction and speed and different<br />
awareness of where<br />
they’re at on the floor."<br />
Throughout the week, several<br />
parents and family members<br />
of the young athletes<br />
watched the players from<br />
the stands, often calling out<br />
words of support and encouragement.<br />
Eileen Gaffney, a grandmother<br />
of two of the participants,<br />
said she has seen<br />
firsthand how the camp has<br />
refined her grandchildren's<br />
skills.<br />
“The coaches are wonderful<br />
and take their time with<br />
the children," Gaffney said. I<br />
think this is a great camp for<br />
kids. With my two grandsons,<br />
I have seen a big improvement<br />
in how they dribble and<br />
shoot the ball."<br />
One of her grandsons, Cullen<br />
Jorgensen, of Frankfort,<br />
said he enjoys taking part in<br />
the sport.<br />
“My favorite thing is shooting,<br />
and now I’ve learned<br />
how to dribble between the<br />
legs,” he said.<br />
Another parent in the<br />
stands, Monee resident Amy<br />
Caldwell, said her son has<br />
begun to develop a passion<br />
for basketball by learning the<br />
game at the camp.<br />
“He had an interest in basketball<br />
and loves the Chicago<br />
Bulls," she said. "I think it’s<br />
good to be with other kids on<br />
a team learning new skills.<br />
He’s only 6, so he’s all new<br />
to this, but he’s excited about<br />
learning how to play the<br />
game."<br />
Schalk said that he pushes<br />
students to do their best to<br />
improve their game because<br />
he remembers being around<br />
their age and discovering his<br />
passion for basketball — a<br />
driving force that has remained<br />
with him his entire<br />
life.<br />
“You figure out how much<br />
you love the game when you<br />
get to teach it to someone<br />
else or help them get better,"<br />
Schalk said. "They have the<br />
same kind of drive I had to<br />
get better."<br />
Scores are compiled<br />
throughout the local summer<br />
camps, and players who rank<br />
the highest in each age group<br />
will compete in a Champions<br />
Day competition.<br />
Eubanks said the coaches<br />
can easily connect with the<br />
students because they all<br />
have one thing in common.<br />
“These are all people that<br />
love the game,” she said.<br />

LW East, West end summer baseball season amid umpire situation<br />
RANDY WHALEN<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
Griffins senior third baseman Zack Jurgens (right) had an RBI triple and scored on an RBI single by senior catcher Alec Hranicka on July 9 during the<br />
team’s game against Lemont at the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association Summer Baseball Tournament. East ultimately fell to Lemont 4-3.<br />
22nd Century Media file photo<br />
Things don’t always go<br />
according to plan.<br />
They didn’t for the Lincoln-Way<br />
baseball team in<br />
the summer state tournament<br />
this week.<br />
East coach Eric Brauer<br />
planned to coach in the second<br />
game of the opening<br />
day of the regional portion<br />
of the Illinois High School<br />
Baseball Coaches Association<br />
Summer Baseball Tournament<br />
on July 9. Instead,<br />
Brauer was pressed into duty<br />
as an umpire for an inning in<br />
a game between Lemont and<br />
Lincoln-Way West.<br />
“That wasn’t in the game<br />
plan,” Brauer said.<br />
But it’s what he did as the<br />
coach of the host school.<br />
Brauer was pressed into duty<br />
because the home plate umpire<br />
collapsed with one out<br />
in the top of the second inning.<br />
While he reportedly<br />
never lost consciousness, the<br />
umpire was taken by ambulance<br />
to a local hospital.<br />
After at least a 30 minute<br />
delay, Brauer had to fill in<br />
for the umpire, but called<br />
balls and strikes from behind<br />
the pitcher. That lasted for<br />
an inning, while base umpire<br />
Steve Besse changed into his<br />
gear to umpire behind the<br />
plate. Matt Roseen, who is<br />
an accredited umpire, was at<br />
the game to watch his brother<br />
play on West. Instead he<br />
umpired the rest of the game<br />
on the bases.<br />
The good news was that<br />
the umpire was released<br />
later that evening, and was<br />
actually back out umpiring<br />
a regional semifinal game at<br />
Lockport the next morning;<br />
however, neither Lincoln-<br />
Way team was at Lockport<br />
the next day.<br />
East had to defeat Lemont<br />
in order to play West in<br />
what amounted to a quarterfinal<br />
game. Instead, Lemont<br />
scored four runs in the top<br />
of the fifth and held on for a<br />
4-3 win.<br />
“We were a little thin<br />
on pitching for the week,”<br />
Brauer said of the summer<br />
league regional. “We planed<br />
to pitch Cole Kirschsieper<br />
against West, but it didn’t<br />
work out.<br />
“Cole didn’t pitch for us<br />
all summer. But that’s OK;<br />
we know what he’s got. He’s<br />
pitched for his travel team.<br />
We wanted to see what some<br />
off our pitchers could do.”<br />
Although the Griffins (6-3<br />
final summer record) lost,<br />
they certainly showed spunk<br />
at the end. After scoring the<br />
games initial run in the second,<br />
they didn’t score again<br />
until the bottom of the seventh.<br />
Then senior third baseman<br />
Zack Jurgens had an<br />
RBI triple and scored on an<br />
RBI single by senior catcher<br />
Alec Hranicka.<br />
Junior second baseman<br />
T.J. Devries added a one-out<br />
infield single, and when the<br />
runners moved up to second<br />
and third on a wild pitch, it<br />
looked like the Griffins were<br />
in business. But a strikeout<br />
and a ground out to deep<br />
short ended the game.<br />
The loss meant there would<br />
be no trip back to the summer<br />
state finals for the Griffins,<br />
who finished as runnerup<br />
in the IHSBCA Phil Lawler<br />
Summer Classic State Tournament<br />
last season.<br />
“We were playing to win<br />
both games,” Brauer said of<br />
the opening day of the regional.<br />
“But it didn’t work<br />
out. It’s OK, it’s summer.<br />
We want to see how guys<br />
perform on the field, in live<br />
games, rather than just practice.”<br />
Brauer credited Hranicka<br />
for stepping in as catcher,<br />
as well as junior outfielder<br />
Nick Mergenthaler, for having<br />
good summers.<br />
East graduated 10 seniors<br />
from this springs squad,<br />
which set a new school record<br />
for wins with 28 and won a regional<br />
championship.<br />
“We’re going to miss our<br />
seniors, they had very specific<br />
roles on our team,” Brauer<br />
said of this springs squad.<br />
“But we have a good group<br />
of guys here and we’re looking<br />
for them not only on the<br />
field, but also to replace that<br />
leadership we had, too.”<br />
Lemont (4-4 final summer<br />
record) went on to defeat<br />
West 7-6 in the quarterfinal<br />
game later on July 9. But<br />
the Indians, who won Class<br />
3A state title in 2014 and<br />
2016, lost 8-2 to Plainfield<br />
South the next day in a regional<br />
semifinal at Lockport.<br />
Later that afternoon, Plainfield<br />
South, which won the<br />
IHSBCA Phil Lawler Summer<br />
Classic State Tournament<br />
title in 2016, defeated<br />
Joliet Catholic Academy 2-1<br />
to win the regional championship.

Chicago Bulls camp encourages children's passion for basketball<br />
Megan Schuller<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
Boys and girls throughout<br />
the southwest suburbs<br />
received a crash course in<br />
basketball fundamentals this<br />
month at a weeklong camp<br />
run by professional coaches<br />
with the Bulls and Sox Youth<br />
Academy.<br />
From July 9 to 13, coaches<br />
timed the young basketball<br />
players as they ran a series<br />
of drills across the Founders<br />
Community Center gym in<br />
Frankfort — exercises designed<br />
to strengthen the athletes'<br />
coordination, skill and<br />
stamina.<br />
Since 1999, the Bulls have<br />
sponsored summer basketball<br />
camps throughout Chicagoland,<br />
and the Frankfort<br />
Park District has hosted a<br />
camp annually since 2006.<br />
Frankfort Park District<br />
Recreation Supervisor Maurice<br />
Sullivan said the camp<br />
has many benefits for the<br />
young players.<br />
“It’s a good opportunity for<br />
the participants to get proper<br />
skills training," Sullivan said.<br />
"It doesn’t get any better than<br />
having someone with the<br />
NBA train them to develop<br />
their skills."<br />
The camps are offered to<br />
two age groups: a rookie<br />
camp for children between 5<br />
and 8 years old and a basketball<br />
player camp for participants<br />
aged 9-12. The rookie<br />
camp focuses more on fundamentals<br />
and learning the<br />
game, while the second camp<br />
works on refining skill sets.<br />
Coach Anthony Schalk<br />
said the younger players are<br />
often new to the game, while<br />
the older athletes tend to have<br />
experience in other camps,<br />
on teams or at home and participate<br />
in the Bulls camp as a<br />
way to improve their existing<br />
skills.<br />
“For the beginners, they<br />
get a chance to learn the basics<br />
and fundamentals to<br />
grow their passion for the<br />
game," Schalk said. "For the<br />
ones that have been playing,<br />
it’s a chance for them to see<br />
what they need to work on,<br />
so when they go back to play<br />
for their school or travel team<br />
they are a better player than<br />
the year before."<br />
In addition to receiving<br />
professional training and an<br />
evaluation report of their<br />
overall performance, the<br />
young players were given<br />
“The United Center Experience”<br />
package, which in-<br />

Frankfort swimmer wins division in state open water championship<br />
RANDY WHALEN<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
22nd Century Media file photo<br />
Three things to know<br />
about the Illinois<br />
High School Baseball<br />
Coaches Association<br />
Summer Baseball<br />
Tournament<br />
1. Zack Jurgens,<br />
Griffins senior third<br />
baseman, had an<br />
RBI triple and scored<br />
on senior catcher<br />
Alec Hranicka's RBI<br />
single.<br />
2. Eric Brauer,<br />
Lincoln-Way East's<br />
baseball coach,<br />
credited both<br />
Hranicka and junior<br />
outfielder Nick<br />
Mergenthaler, for<br />
their strong summer<br />
performances after<br />
the game.<br />
3. The Griffins<br />
concluded their time<br />
at the tournament<br />
with a 6-3 final<br />
summer record.<br />
Swimmers in the 11-12 age category compete in the Open<br />
Water State Championship.<br />
Imagine swimming nearly<br />
a mile and a quarter on an<br />
open lake. Then imagine doing<br />
that in less than 25 minutes,<br />
and lastly, imagine doing<br />
that at the age of 12.<br />
That’s what Frankfort<br />
resident Lauren O’Connor<br />
recently did, and that’s why<br />
she’s a state champion.<br />
O’Connor accomplished<br />
this feat on June 28 at Lake<br />
Andrea in Pleasant Prairie,<br />
Wisc., winning the Open Water<br />
State Championship for<br />
her 11-12 age division.<br />
It was the second state title<br />
in three years for O’Connor,<br />
who also won the 9-10 year<br />
old competition there two<br />
years ago. But that was at a<br />
distance of 1,000 meters. To<br />
win this season’s title, she had<br />
to navigate double that distance<br />
in a 2,000-meter race,<br />
equivalent to 1.24 miles.<br />
“It’s very aggressive and<br />
the start is very important,”<br />
O’Connor said of the race,<br />
which had 82 girls. “You go<br />
around a course with four<br />
buoys on it and you do that<br />
twice. You just have to get a<br />
line to the first buoy and then<br />
get your line to the second<br />
one from there. By the time<br />
you get to the second goaround<br />
your shoulders are really<br />
feeling it.<br />
“You can’t stop, so you<br />
have to kick more in the second<br />
half. I knew I was ahead.<br />
There was a girl next to me<br />
most of the time and then she<br />
dropped off. I wasn’t sure<br />
how far I was ahead; I was<br />
just concentrating on getting<br />
to the end and hitting the<br />
touch pad [which each swimmer<br />
had to do to register their<br />
time at the end]. I won by<br />
about 15 seconds.”<br />
Her final time was 24 minutes:<br />
55 seconds.<br />
For O’Connor, the summer<br />
is the long course season,<br />
with a lot of open water competitions.<br />
That’s a welcome<br />
break from the normal indoor<br />
pool events, which take place<br />
in the winter.<br />
“In the pool it’s really just<br />
you and the strokes,” she<br />
said. “But it the open water,<br />
you have to be smart about<br />
the swimming and pacing.”<br />
With her parents’ background,<br />
O’Connor may have<br />
been born to swim. Her mom,<br />
Sherrill, and dad, Aaron, both<br />
swam and met when they<br />
were swimmers at Carthage<br />
College in Kenosha, Wisc. So,<br />
they steered her toward the<br />
sport, which she first started<br />
when she was 4 years old.<br />
“We had a pool in the back<br />
yard growing up,” Lauren<br />
O’Connor recalled. “So, I<br />
swam in that and my parents<br />
thought it would be good for<br />
me to get involved in swimming<br />
competition. I’m very<br />
competitive, so I took to it<br />
right away and I’ve loved it<br />
ever since.”<br />
O’Connor credits swimming<br />
with the Academy Bullets<br />
Swim Club with helping<br />
her develop into the swimmer<br />
she’s become. She started<br />
with the organization when<br />
she was 9 years old. While<br />
the club has eight locations<br />
throughout the Chicago area,<br />
Frankfort resident Lauren O’Connor poses with her medal<br />
June 28 after winning the 11-12 age division in the Open<br />
Water State Championship at Lake Andrea in Pleasant<br />
Prairie, Wisc. Photos submitted<br />
she’s based out of the one in<br />
Bourbonnais, which uses the<br />
facilities at Olivet Nazarene<br />
University.<br />
“I go there everyday for<br />
practice and we have two-adays<br />
on Monday, Wednesday,<br />
and Friday during the season,”<br />
O’Connor said. “My<br />
coach Scott Tetters is a really<br />
good coach and very knowledgeable.<br />
He’s helped me a<br />
bunch.”<br />
Next month, O’Connor,<br />
who turns 13 on Sept. 15,<br />
will start eighth grade at<br />
Noonan Academy in Mokena.<br />
She’s unsure where she<br />
will go to high school, but<br />
she will continue to compete<br />
for the Academy Bullets. Her<br />
age group next year will increase<br />
to 13-15 and the open<br />
water distance will go to<br />
three kilometers (1.86 miles).<br />
For swimmers in the 16-18<br />
category, it goes up to five<br />
kilometers (3.1 miles).<br />
“The kids always push me<br />
and we push each other,”<br />
O’Connor said of the Academy<br />
Bullets. “They’re always<br />
pushing me, even when I’m<br />
tired. Plus the [Olivet Nazarene]<br />
college team pushes<br />
us and encourages us with<br />
positive reinforcement too.<br />
They’re great leaders and<br />
role models.”<br />
Already a great swimmer,<br />
O’Connor is definitely on the<br />
path to be a great leader and<br />
role model for younger children<br />
too.<br />
Listen Up<br />
"We're going to miss our seniors, they had very specific<br />
roles on our team. But we have a good group of guys<br />
here and we're looking for them not only on the field,<br />
but also to replace that leadership we had too."<br />
