Fall Fest takes Frankfort to 'paradise'
Rochelle McAuliffe
Freelance Reporter
The Labor Day weekend
may mark the end of summer,
but that doesn’t mean
that there’s not time for one
more party in paradise.
From Sept. 1 to Sept. 3, the
downtown area was transformed
into a tropical destination
for the 50th annual
Frankfort Fall Fest, which
attracts more than 250,000
people to the Southland each
year. To celebrate the event’s
golden anniversary, the “escape”
was aptly named for
the many who donned a lei
and flipflops but also for the
departure from the usual
bustle of town that comes
with a weekend getaway.
Topped with a touch of
tropical weather, the threeday
fest featured more than
300 artisans from across the
nation selling everything
from jewelry, pottery and
fine art to clothing, pet accessories
and craft soap.
While artisans are the big attraction
to the festival, their
unique display of art just
scraped the surface of what
the fest has to offer. Between
the live music, food, carnival
rides and this year’s newest
addition, “The Garden,”
which offered adult beverages
for purchase, there was
something for everyone.
“We’re having a really
great time. We’ve turned
downtown into a little tropical
paradise,” said Bob Peters,
chair of the 2018 Fall
Festival. “It was my vision
for the 50th anniversary to
escape to a little slice of paradise.
We’ve never had that
theme before, and it’s making
for an awesome time. I
even ordered the tropical
weather.”
To plan for a festival of
this caliber, a year-round
effort is required. As soon
as this year’s festival is all
packed up, the planning for
next year’s fest will begin.
“We started planning [this
year’s event] beginning last
September. We don’t miss a
beat. Come Tuesday, we’ll
regroup and ask ourselves
what we did right, what
we did wrong and how can
we improve to make those
changes happen for next
year. It’s a nonstop effort,”
Peters said.
That meticulous planning
is what attracts so many vendors
from across the nation
to the Frankfort Fall Fest,
some traveling thousands of
miles just to participate.
The 11-hour drive from
Stroudsburg, Penn., was a
familiar trip for Ryan Oberdick,
as this was his second
year bringing his handcrafted
“Whisker Biscuits” dog
treats to the Fall Fest. While
Whisker Biscuits travels to
more than 100 festivals and
fairs nationally, the Frankfort
Fall Fest is a favorite for
Oberdick.
“You meet some really
great people here. It’s a wellattended
event, and it's organized
extremely well. You
know everybody from the
top down to the bottom here
really puts a lot of time and
effort into the event,” Oberdick
said.
“Most events like this
are put on by professional
companies. We have over
150 volunteers that dedicate
their time over the weekend,
with many of them returning
year after year,” said Peters.
“We’re truly a Fall fest family,
and that’s something to
be proud of.”
One of those volunteers
was Tom Senffner of Joliet.
For the last 14 years, Senffner
has spent his Labor Day
weekend assisting Frankfort
Boy Scout Troop #270, helping
to shuttle attendees too
and from the festival.
“I guess I like driving
the bus in circles,” Senffner
laughed. “There’s always a
lot of friendly people I get
to talk to. Everyone seems
pretty happy.”
For Katie Newell, a jewelry
maker originally from
Frankfort, the Fall Fest is
her chance to return home
to friends and family while
displaying her passion to her
craft. This was only Newell’s
second year participating
in the event as an artisan,
but the Fall Fest is a longtime
tradition for her.
“I'm so glad I get to come
back and visit to do this
show. It’s so much fun being
out here. love being able to
see everyone that I went to
school with a long time ago,
and show those around me
what I do,” Newell said.

Fall Festival kicks off with annual Frankfort Lions Wurst Fest
Rochelle McAuliffe
Freelance Reporter
Between the dancing, yodeling
and flowing spirits, it
was a German extravaganza
in the beer garden tent at
Kansas and Oak streets as
the Frankfort Lions Club
hosted its annual Frankfort
Lions Wurst Fest on Thursday,
Aug. 30.
Attendees were able to indulge
in brats, German beer,
strudel and more provided
by Chef Klaus’ Bier Stube
as they listened to the live
music by performed by Peter
Hoffman.
Lions International
Founded was founded in
Chicago in 1917 and has
since assisted people worldwide
with their five areas of
service: childhood cancer,
diabetes, hunger, the environment
and vision. In 1925,
they were even challenged
to become “knights of the
blind in the crusade against
darkness” by Helen Keller, a
challenge which the organization
happily accepted.
For the past 38 years, the
Frankfort Lions has used the
event to raise money for the
organization’s Community
Charities Fund, which supports
their mission to serve
the community through
those five tenets. Thanks to
the hard work of volunteers
and donors, the Wurst Fest
averages $35,000 raised
each year, making it the
biggest fundraiser to sustain
their charitable efforts
throughout the year.
The event was rebranded
as the Frankfort Lions Wurst
Festival five years ago, falling
“in line with the rich
German heritage of Frankfort,”
said Joseph Rohaly,
president of the Frankfort
Lions Club. Rohaly joined
There’s no place like Frankfort.
And, like you, we’re happy to call it home.
And we’re proud to be here celebrating
21 years of service. Thank you for your
business and your trust.

the Frankfort Lions 14 years
ago,after being invited to
a meeting and seeing what
the organization does for the
Frankfort community.
“We do good for a lot
of different things and a
lot of good for different
people in the community,”
Rohaly said. “Sometimes,
there are other organizations
that come to us looking
for money. Other times,
there are individuals within
the community that need
help. Sometimes they don’t
even know they can use the
help, but that’s why we’re
here. We find them and help
them.”
For Nancy and Andy
Schmitz, a longtime history
in Frankfort and seeing the
impact the club has had locally
led them to join the
group 10 years ago.

the community,” Nancy

Schmitz said. “We’ve been
longtime Frankfort residents
ever since we were little, so
we’ve been able to see what
they do in the community for
a long time. We just thought
it’s something we want to
give back to.”
Between the distribution
of groceries for up to 30
families at Thanksgiving,
Christmas and Easter, the
toys donated to families in
need at Christmastime and
the free vision and hearing
screenings, the Frankfort Lions
Club distinguishes itself
through its service within the
community.
For the members of the
club, the Wurst Fest was a
time to put their work aside
and play, even if it was just
for the evening. The yellowvested
volunteers all spent
the evening with a smile on
their face as they enjoyed
their food and drink.
Ed and Jo Rosmus, of Orland
Park, are annual visitors
to the Fall Festival and
Frankfort Lions Wurst Festival,
with the family attending
while the Bier Stube was
still located downtown. For
the couple, the annual event
means quality time with
those who are closest while
supporting a great cause.
“We enjoy the music and
the food is great, and it’s nice
spending time together,” Jo
Rosmus said. “We might
[get up to] dance later.”

Lincoln-Way Community High School D210 Board of Education
Financial future forecast discussed,
LW Marching Band funds approved
Megan Schuller
Freelance Reporter
Round it Up
A brief recap of other items discussed at the Aug.
30 D210 Board of Education meeting
• The Board approved the purchase of two copiers for
Lincoln-Way West to replace two copiers that are in
need of costly repairs. The Board plans to do a districtwide
replacement of leased copiers in all the buildings.
• There was no fiscal year 2019 budget discussion.
The final budget will be adopted at the Sept. 20
meeting.
• Cauffman gave a presentation of the consumer price
index and its relation to property tax extension limit
law.
• A sum of $2,100,000 was approved for transfer
from the working cash fund to the education fund. It is
the first of several transfers this year to minimize the
amount of tax anticipation warrants.
• The district set an annual tax levy expected to
provide the district with more than 76 percent of
its total revenue. The 2018 tax rate is estimated to
decline slightly to 2.1167 percent compared to the
2017 tax levy, which was at 2.1207 percent. The
Certificate of Tax Levy shows that $67,364,700 will be
levied and dispensed across educations, operations,
transportation, working cash, social security, tort
immunity, and special education funds to raise the
balances.
• The Board noted the district plans to hold a career
fair on Nov. 1.
The phrase “worst-case
scenario” is not something
typically said during a board
meeting. At the Lincoln-Way
Community High School District
meeting on Aug. 30, however,
it was part of an intentional
exercise designed to forecast
the next five years of an unpredictable
financial future.
“This doesn’t happen all
at once,” Board President Joseph
Kirkeeng said. “There’s
not a shock analysis here, but
if we started to see the storm
clouds roll in we would know
what the numbers are and say
‘let’s not do that, let’s do this
instead.’”
In the best-case scenario,
D210 plans to increase the
operating surplus by 3 percent
each year as the district builds
the fund balance to $31 million
in operating funds in accordance
to Policy 4:20.
Assistant Superintendent
of Business Brad Cauffman’s
worst-case scenario adjusted
the consumer price index and
evidence base funding to a
recessionary trend according
to lowest point recorded in the
last 13 years. According to this
simulation, by 2022 the district
would be running a deficit unless
drastic reductions of $4.3
million in expenditures were
taken in the years that followed.
“This would first come
from capital expenditures and
other non-salary benefit related
items,” Cauffman said about
the worst-case forecast. “However
since 73 percent of our
operating expenditures are related
to salaries and benefits, if
this became a reality then long
term reductions would have to
impact staff compensation.”
The idea behind the worstcase
presentation was to have
a concept of the magnitude of
the possible cuts that would
have to be made if the situation
arose. Board Member
Christine Glatz said that if
new growth did not increase,
it could mean less students,
but she was hesitant to suggest
closing another school as
a long-term solution.
Cauffman did not respond
directly to Glatz’s comment.
He only reaffirmed that enrollment
going down is a possibility,
but the focus is to maintain
that 3 percent operating surplus
annually.
Kirkeeng and Superintendent
Scott Tingley said that
the exercise was beneficial in
helping D210 be prepared for
multiple factors that could put
the district in that position.
Tingley said that in July the
Knight Ranger Account was
closed out after the board reimbursed
the the marching
band account for the $67,000
that it deposited into the concert
account in order to cover
the Knight Ranger concert expenses.
“It [the account] ended in
the positive. Not as much as
we would have liked,” Tingley
said in discussion.
The proceeds from the concert,
which amounted to roughly
$3,800 after bills were paid,
were transferred into the Rose
Bowl fundraising account.

Frankfort park restoration project receives ComEd grant funding
Submitted by ComEd
To support the planning,
acquisition, and improvement
of local parks, natural
areas, and recreation resources,
ComEd and Openlands
in August announced
grants from the ComEd
Green Region Program to 26
recipients throughout northern
Illinois. The grantees,
which range from local municipalities
to park districts
and forest preserves, will
each receive up to $10,000
to support open space projects.
The 26 Green Region grant
recipients for 2018 include
the Village of Frankfort’s
Prairie Park restoration project,
which will remove invasive
species and encourage
the return of native plants
and pollinators. Public involvement
will increase the
visibility of the project, while
educating visitors about the
importance of native plants
in the Frankfort area.
This marks the sixth year
that ComEd is partnering
with Openlands, one of the
oldest metropolitan conservation
organizations in the
nation, for the Green Region
Program. Due to tremendous
interest in pollinator conservation
during the 2017 grant
cycle, the 2018 ComEd
Green Region Program
again featured a special focus
on projects that help
pollinators like butterflies
and bees. Illinois is home
to thousands of native pollinator
species, which provide
critical support to our
region’s flowering and food
plant populations. Since the
program’s inception, ComEd
has awarded a total of more
than $1,125,000 to communities
in northern Illinois for
environmental projects.

Wilson has successfully
completed the process that
awards the professional designation
of chief fire officer,
or CFO. The Commission
on Professional Credentialing
met on May 8 to confer
the designation. Fire Chief
Wilson became one of only
1,279 CFOs worldwide.
The designation program
is a voluntary program designed
to recognize individuals
who demonstrate their
excellence in seven measured
components including
experience, education,
professional development,

professional contributions,
associate membership, community
involvement and
technical competence.
The CFO designation program
uses a comprehensive
peer review model to evaluate
candidates seeking credential.
The Commission on
Professional Credentialing
awards the designation only
after an individual successfully
meets all of the organization’s
stringent criteria.
Achieving this designation
signifies Fire Chief
Wilson’s commitment to his
career in the fire and emergency
services.
The professional designation
is valid for three years.
Maintaining the designation
requires recipients to show
continued growth in the areas
of professional development,
professional contributions,
active association
membership and community
involvement as well adhere
to a code of professional
conduct.

Heritage Knolls playground
replacement project begins
Submitted by Frankfort
Park District
As part of its budget, the
Frankfort Park District has
planned to replace Heritage
Knolls Park playground. On
Aug. 20, Kids around the
World began removing the
playground equipment. Kids
Around the World is an organization
that re-purposes old
equipment which will be donated
to an underdeveloped
country. Many of the playgrounds
the organization
removes head to countries
such as Ghana, Honduras
and Haiti.
The contractor retained by
the Frankfort Park District
began to mobilize and start
the replacement of the new
playground equipment on
Friday, Aug. 24. The existing
equipment was installed
at the park in 2001. The new
equipment selected is manufactured
by Little Tykes and
includes a play structure for
the region in their efforts to
advance green initiatives.
The Green Region partnership
is one of the many ways
that this commitment is realized.
ComEd provides the
funding for the program, and
Openlands administers the
program.
“At Openlands, we believe
nature is vital to all
people and that everyone
should have access to parks,
trails, and green space close
to home,” said Openlands
President and CEO Jerry
Adelmann. “ComEd’s continued
support through the
Green Region Program has
kids ages 5-12 with four
slides, six swings, a rope
tower and a stand and spin
element. The existing sand
volleyball court will be removed
and replaced with
turf. A rendering of the new
equipment can be viewed at
brought this vision to life, allowing
communities to invest
in open space projects that
bring joy to citizens where
they live, work, and play.”
Earlier this year, municipalities
throughout northern
Illinois submitted their grant
applications, and an advisory
committee composed of
county government officials
and members of the region’s
conservation community reviewed
the applications.

FROM THE TINLEY JUNCTION
Andrew student selected
for state education advisory
council
An Andrew senior was one
of only 20 students statewide
selected to represent students’
interests to Illinois education
policymakers.
Corlin Leonard, of Tinley
Park, was chosen for the Illinois
State Board of Education
Student Advisory Council for
the 2018-2019 school year.
As advisors to the board, the
group of students meet and
work together to present a
research project in March,
as well as share perspectives
and concerns as they relate
to Illinois’ education policies
throughout the year.
“It’s a very humbling experience,”
Leonard said. “I hope
to be an advocate for mental
and physical handicapped personnel
— for more involvement
and more collaboration
to create a better sense of community
between all students.”
Leonard began the application
process last spring
that involved a personal essay
regarding his goals as an
advisor, followed by a live
interview. Andrew principal
Robert Nolting encouraged
him to apply and broke the
good news over the summer.
Leonard is involved in numerous
clubs and activities at
Andrew, including serving as
a transfer student ambassador,
speech team member, tutor
and peer mediator. He also is
an accomplished musician,
accumulating more than 100
over of community service,
assisting with his church’s
band, who plans to pursue a
career in audio engineering
and music production in Chicago,
Nashville or Boston.

Librarian writes first novel
at 88
It was a dark and stormy
night.
Well, maybe not so dark
and stormy, and maybe not
at night, either, but Mokena
Community Public Library
District welcomed one of its
own for a book signing Aug.
27.
Shirley Guendling, a circulation
clerk at the library and
longtime Mokena resident recently
released her first novel,
“I Believed You.”
“There are three main elements:
love, revenge and murder,”
Guendling said. “And
there’s a love triangle that
goes terribly wrong. People
have been deceived, and are
terribly hurt and angry, and
[that] causes a terrible, terrible
ending.”
Guendling said she started
the novel years ago, but was
not sure if she liked it. So, she
put it away in a drawer.
But it was always on her
mind.
“I had no idea where to go
with any of this,” she said.
Luckily, a friend hooked
her up with an editor based
in Minnesota, who then introduced
Guendling to a publisher,
based in Wisconsin.
“I really lucked out with
these two women. … I am
one happy person,” Guendling
said.

Homer Glen single mom
receives surprise from
business owner
When Kim Manson looked
outside her house the morning
of Aug. 2, she could not believe
her eyes. Ten landscaping
trucks and 20 employees
pulled up and jumped out of
their vehicles, ready to get
started.
Little did Manson know,
they were all there to transform
the outside of her Homer
Glen home, and all for free.
Owner Jim Lahey, of A
Touch of Green Landscaping
in Homer Glen, lent a helping
hand to his friend Manson to
beautify her yard just a day before
the residence went on the
market and just hours before
a photographer came to take
photos of the house.
Lahey and three of his crews
arrived at 8:30 a.m., with
trucks full of flowers, mulch,
fertilizer, soil and “everything
to make the house shine,” Lahey
said.
Manson decided to put her
house up for sale at the last
minute after a recent divorce,
and said she did not think she
would have the time or resources
to “do an overhaul like
that” and spruce up the outside.
She initially reached out
to Lahey asking for mulch, in
hopes that her two sons could
help spread it before heading
back to college.

Changing.”
This June, I
“Life.
was in Portland,
Oregon, with my wife,
finally at the front of the
lengthy Salt & Straw line,
ready to order some ice
cream. Despite the wait, the
girl behind the counter made
small talk with us. Where
were we from? Where were
we going?
With a look over my
shoulder to the line behind
us, I replied as concisely as
one could.
“From around Chicago.
Doing a road trip from Seattle
to San Francisco. Hoping
the highlight is a stop in the
redwoods coming up.”
“Oh, my God. The redwoods
are life-changing.
Life. Changing.”
She was in her early 20s,
seemingly just out of college,
and exuded the spirit
of a hippie. Her experience
among the trees clearly
stuck with her, and she
genuinely seemed excited
for us and what we were
about to see.
We were excited, too. After
all, we’d based a return
to the coast on the prospect
of seeing the redwoods.
And I’m all about getting
wrapped up in the buzz of
whatever it is I’m doing.
Still, there was something
about a 20-year-old hippie
telling us that her journey
into nature changed her life
that brought out the scoffer
in me. And I’d be lying if I
said over the next couple of
days I didn’t utter the words
“Life. Changing.” several
times, regarding any variety
of things, in a fashion best
described as mocking.
Then, we found ourselves
in the redwoods. In the early
morning, we stopped off the
Newton B. Drury Scenic
Parkway, on the northern
end of the Redwoods National
and State Parks, for
a loop called the Ten Taypo
Trail. After only intending
a short jaunt into the
woods, we ended up doing
the whole loop, roughly 4
miles.
We were taken by the
beauty of it. And it didn’t
hurt that we never encountered
other hikers until the
last quarter-mile back to the
car. Once we got far enough
away from the parkway, it
was intensely quiet, save for
the rustling of leaves and
the occasional chatter of
wildlife. It was spectacular.
Then, we visited a portion
of the parks near the Prairie
Creek Visitors Center, hoping
to see elk. We found
them. First, a pair off the
side of the road. Shortly
thereafter, traffic was
stopped by a massive gang
grazing across the street.
And then another field full
of them.
The last major thing we
did during our visit was get
a permit from the visitors
center near Orick to enter
the Tall Trees Trail that
leads to the Tall Trees Grove
— known to have some of
the oldest and tallest growth
in the parks. The round-trip
itself takes some time. First,
a winding road to a combination
lock gate, and then a
lengthy gravel access road
to the trailhead.
That’s where a constant
descent by foot begins and
you lose track of how big
the trees get as you head
toward the grove, which,
in addition to redwoods
features some beautiful,
old maple trees. (Then, it’s
a painstakingly constant
incline back to the car.)
It would be an exaggeration
to say that the experience
altered the very course
of my existence. But it was
something special — the
type of thing that gives you
new perspective, both figurative
and literal.
Many of the trees are
hundreds of years old,
and that, in and of itself,
is something to consider.
These are living things that
have outlasted generations
of human beings. Most of
them have been around a lot
longer than any of us, and
most of them will — with
any luck — still be standing
long after we’re gone.
That forces you to think
about your place in the
world. About how nature
endures. But the fire damage
we spotted also speaks to
the fragility of it. Hundreds
of years can be wiped out
by the whims of the winds,
or one bad human decision.
But I also love the literal
perspective the trees offer.
You can get it only by
standing on those grounds.
We took some decent photos,
but none of them truly
captures what it feels like
to be standing at the feet of
such massive trees. None
of them captures the feeling
of finding a tiny pine cone
along the hike or climbing
into a hollow, downed giant.
In an age where everything
is about a good post to
the ’Gram, it’s nice to know
there still are some things
you can experience only by
going there. By its nature,
there is some physicality required.
It’s not for everyone.
And that is equally a shame
and part of what makes it
special.
With that it mind, we’re
encouraging readers to Get
out of Town! with a new
travel column on Page 20
this week. It’ll be a monthly
thing. And the impetus for it
is that, while we love these
towns and our focus will remain
the suburbs we cover,
sometimes it takes a trip
outside of our comfort zone
— seeing new places, meeting
new people, doing new
things — to see the world
from a new perspective.
Not every trip is going to
be a life-changing experience.
But if we check our
skepticism at the door and
leave that door open to the
possibility, we might find
something close.

A walk through time and space at St. Francis Woods
Cosmic Walk on the
grounds offers space
for quiet meditation,
contemplation
Amanda Stoll, Assistant Editor
Nestled not so far away
from the hustle and bustle of
everyday life is the oasis of
St. Francis Woods.
There, the Portiuncula
Center for Prayer sits on the
West side of the campus.
While St. Francis Woods is
home to the Franciscan Sisters
of the Sacred Heart, all
are welcome to visit and enjoy
what they have to offer.
Mary Lou Nugent, director
of the Portiuncula Center,
said people of all religions
feel comfortable visiting and
participating in retreats on
the campus.
“We are for all faiths," she
said. "You don’t have to be
Catholic, it really transcends
a particular religion.”
Baptists and Buddhists
alike use the grounds for
meditative walks on the
wooded trails, in the labyrinth
and at the Cosmic Walk.
While the labyrinth is
geared toward a mostly unguided
meditative walk, the
Cosmic Walk focuses on the
creation and development
of the universe as we have
come to understand it from
science.
“We wanted to do something
really tangible on the
campus to highlight the integration
of science and faith,”
Nugent said, “and so that’s
really what it’s about.”
The Cosmic Walk is meant
to provide reflection for participants,
but each person
may get something different
from the experience.
The representations of
each cosmic and historical
event were created and donated
by artist Corlita Bonnarens.
Each of the stations
correlates with a different
event in time and history.
While integrating science
and faith may be a topic for
debate for many people, Nugent
said the walk is about
“respecting both and not denying
either one.”
Dee Philiph, of New
Lenox, visits the Portiuncula
Center often and said for her
the Cosmic Walk brings everything
into perspective.
“It just makes you really
think and appreciate how
when you look at the trees an
nature and how things have
progressed and evolved,”
Philiph said.
The walk is a reminder of
just how small everything
on this planet really is when
compared to the larger universe,
something she said
everyone could be reminded
of now and then.
“As we progress we need
to open our hearts and minds
more,” she said.
Whatever someone believes,
a walk at one of the
various locations around
St. Francis Woods is bound
to provide an escape from
the everyday. The grounds
are open to the public year
round, and signage points
visitors to the various areas.
“It’s such a complicated
world,” Nugent said. “...The
contrast now between what
people are living outside of
our acreage to what it’s like
on our campus is just greater
and greater and greater.”
A short walking path guides visitors through the Cosmic Walk with numbered stations
featuring artwork by Corlita Bonnarens that correlates to scientific approximations about
the origins of the universe. Photos by Amanda Stoll/22nd Century Media
Station 16 of the Cosmic Walk depicts “whales, the largest marine animal.” Artwork by
Corlita Bonnarens is featured throughout the self-guided meditative walk on the grounds
of St. Francis Woods.

Actually, it’s pronounced Mill-e-wauk-Aaay!
Grabbing a drink (or
two) while visiting
‘the good land’
Bill Jones, Managing Editor
get out of town!
Some people (not me,
surely) like to joke that Milwaukee
is just another suburb
of Chicago. After all, it’s
roughly an hour-and-a-half
drive from the southwest
suburbs, and — in terms of
geography and population
— a fraction of the size. Its
Midwest makeup isn’t all
that different, either.
But part of what I like
about Milwaukee is that it
is distinctly not Chicago.
Don’t get me wrong: I love
our big city, and its amenities
are tough competition
for any pin in the map. But
there’s a particular charm
about a small city like Milwaukee.
And I think it starts at the
bars.
Milwaukee is a great city
to do some (responsible/21-
plus only/adult) drinking.
And part of that has to do
with the variety.
Oddly enough, one of
my first recommendations
to people isn’t for the beer.
Another perspective
Sprecher, which brands itself
as “Milwaukee’s Original
Craft Brewery,” makes
a few great brews, but the
soda is where it is at. At the
end of the tour, like most,
there is some sampling to
be done. But before I even
think about beer, I’m hitting
up the cherry cola and root
beer on tap — some of the
best you’ll ever have.
Now, the big beer tour. If
you’ve toured one big brewery,
you’ve toured them all
— outside of some local
quirks. What I like about
the multinational Miller
Brewing Company’s tour
in Milwaukee isn’t the tour
itself (because: whatever);
it’s that if the weather is
nice, Miller’s few free beers
can be taken in an outdoor
garden area that allows for
kicking back more than
most tours and tastings. (It
almost makes watching the
videos and taking the tour
again worth it.)
With that out of the way,
it’s time to take a (less-guided)
stroll over to Bryant’s,
near the historic Mitchell
Street. Billed as Milwaukee’s
oldest cocktail longue
(est. 1938), Bryant’s exterior
looks something like
a house, but the interior is
glorious. The old-school
booths are cozy, surrounded
by plush velvet walls. But
I prefer sitting at the bar,
watching them make the
Pink Squirrel which they
invented and you need to
order. It’s also a great seat
to spy the vintage McIntosh
audio system that drives
the smooth soundtrack. The
whole experience feels like
a bygone era in the best way
possible.
If the weather is still nice,
Boone & Crockett is a riverside
spot with great cocktails,
highlighted by some of
the barrel-aged options. The
patio at the old location was
the place to be, but I haven’t
had a chance to check out
the new space just yet.
The Foundation Bar is
known for its Mai Tais and
hits the tiki spot. And Lost
Valley Cider Co., amid
a hub of breweries, also
should be on the radar of
those looking to stray from
the city’s beer-heavy offerings.
But for those seeking
more of a Milwaukee-style
party, the dive atmosphere
of Wolski’s includes all of
the staples, such as darts,
popcorn and a neighborhood
patio space. And those who
close it down get a sticker
for their efforts.
I’ve also never turned
down a good gimmick
when executed well, which
is why I have to mention
SafeHouse. Family friendly
during the day, 21-plus at
night, the restaurant’s theme
is apparent from the second
you enter (I won’t spoil it).
What really makes it work,
though, is how every room
is elaborately constructed
with that theme in mind.
You’ll want to tour the place
when you’re done eating,
and certain drinks send you
home with a souvenir (actual)
glass.
Bonus: There is a Safe-
House in Chicago, too, but
I love the alley entrance off
Front Street for the Milwaukee
spot. And it is not
even a block away from the
Bronze Fonz near the river.
Make sure to snap a fun picture.

travel column focusing on

“The Will County Fair is sort of a family tradition – I tortured my kids
and took them to [those] dusty, smelly fairgrounds, and now it’s time for
me to torture their children in the same absurd ritual. For several years,
we took the kids to the fairgrounds, and they enjoyed petting the animals,
climbing on the tractors, eating large portions of greasy, fatty foods, and
going on the carnival rides. ... The aroma of pork, beef and every other
creature [wafts] throughout the grounds, and we were drawn to the food
court in the metal-roofed enclosure with rows of picnic benches.”

Packing it in
Tips for camping in hot
weather from Assistant
Editor Amanda Stoll
Are you thinking about
squeezing a last-minute
summer camping trip
into your weekend
plans? Even with fall
right around the corner,
chances are you still will
be dealing with warm
temps for a few more
weeks. Keep everyone
cool with these three
tips for camping in hot
weather.
1. Hydrate, hydrate,
hydrate
This may seem like an
obvious one, but when
you’re tipping back a
couple of cold ones
or your children have
been drinking sugary
beverages all day, it is
easy to forget to drink
enough good ol’ H2O. Try
plopping a few ice cubes
in the doggie bowl to
keep Fido cool, too.
2. Don’t drain your coolers
Keeping food at a safe
temperature in a cooler
can be a challenge in
the heat, and foodborne
illness is something you
definitely don’t want
when you’re miles from
home. The ice and
water mixture provides
the most surface-area
coverage for the items in
your cooler. Make sure to
store food in watertight
storage containers,
though, or you may end
up with watery pasta
salad. No one wants that.
3. Let the air flow
Allowing a breeze to drift
through your tent is the
best way to stay cool on
warm summer nights.
Zip open those windows
and, if there isn’t rain in
the forecast, consider
ditching the rain fly
altogether. Depending on
the location, you might
even see a few shooting
stars.
Bonus tip: Consider
packing a light fleece
blanket instead of a
heavier sleeping bag.

SOUTHWEST SUBURBAN HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
TO IMPRESS BUYERS WITH TOUR OF HOMES ENCORE
For second year, premier
homes in Chicago’s growing
southwest suburbs will be
highlighted by professional
organization
ORLAND PARK, ILLINOIS
The SouthWest Suburban
Home Builders Association
(SSHBA) is back to show area
home buyers in the south and
southwest suburbs the best
their market has to offer.
After the success of last year’s
inaugural Tour of Homes,
the SSHBA returns better
than ever with its 2nd Annual
Tour of Homes, which is
generously sponsored by
both James Hardie Building
Products and Searls Windows
& Doors Inc. Sixteen builders
are ready to show off their
craftsmanship of 21 model
homes on two different
weekends this September.
The first set of tours will be
held Sept. 15-16 from noon
until 5 p.m. and will feature
homes in 11 desirable south
and southwest suburban
communities. The second set
of tours will run from Sept.
22 to 23, also from noon until
5 p.m., and admission is free
for both weekends.
Moving is a major life step,
and SSHBA is hoping to
help you take that step by
highlighting homes ranging
in size from 1,700 square feet
to 6,800 square feet and that
offer a variety of custommade
features to fit any
family’s needs. Homes range
in price with townhomes
starting at $269,000. The
most expensive home on the
market is a 6,800-square-foot
home for $1.5 million.
“These are family-friendly
towns that we’re promoting
with good school districts,
and they give that city
life without the city,” said
Shannon Rocha, executive
officer for the SSHBA. Rocha
urges potential home buyers
to think of new construction
as an option, and the 2018
Tour of Homes is the perfect
setting to explore that option
with professional builders
talking about their histories
and specialities during the

With a clearly defined tour
route and a pocket-sized
map, buyers can explore
the tour simply. The route
was designed for ease of
navigation and allows buyers
to view multiple homes, by
multiple builders, over the
course of a weekend.
“The idea is we want to
make it easy to get to,” Rocha
said. “Whenever you’re on a
tour it kind of makes it fun.
You’re seeing more than one.
You’re going, you’re taking a
look and you’re seeing what’s
available.”
Flags with the SSHBA
logo will be
placed outside
subdivisions and
homes included
in the tour to help
tourgoers. Raffle
prizes will also be
offered at each
location visited by
tour guests.
&
Models open from 12-5pm
“We’re hoping to get the
SSHBA name out there,
since there is not licensing
in Illinois,” Rocha said.
“Builders do not have to
have licenses, so by being a
member of the SSHBA they
are receiving education and
we want [home buyers] to see
how our builders are set apart
from a builder that is not a
member with us.”
SouthWest Suburban Home
Builders promotes high
standards, professionalism
and service within the
building industry and
supports the American
dream of home ownership.
As the unified voice for
building industry issues, the
SSHBA promotes advocacy
and awareness, provides
educational programs,
networking opportunities,
and opportunities for
consumer referrals.
For more information,
visit www.sshba.com.
Models will be open from noon to 5p.m. each weekend.

10 Questions
with Scott Schipiour
Scott Schipiour is a senior
on the Griffins boys golf
team
How’d you get started
in golf?
Just playing around with
friends. No one in my family
grew up playing golf, so
I didn’t play that much. Except
my dad would try to go
out there and have fun with
me. Besides that, I just started
freshman year.
What’s your favorite
memory playing golf?
Going All-Conference last
year. As a junior on varsity
my first year I became an
All-Conference player. It
was something that stuck
with me because it was pretty
cool because it showed
how far I’ve come.
If you won the lottery,
what’s the first thing
you’d buy?
I would pay off college for
this upcoming year.
What are your plans for
college?
I’m undecided as to what
I’m going into, but I’m really
looking toward Western
Michigan or University of
Kentucky. I’ve got a lot of
friends who go to Western
Michigan. It’s pretty close.
I visit there all the time…
University of Kentucky, just
the warmer weather, Kentucky
bluegrass. It’s nice and
beautiful.
Which is the stronger
part of your game: long
or short?
I would say my short
game. Whenever I’m
around the green I can always
work with it. I can
put the ball in a good spot
where I can have an easy
read for my putt.
For you, what’s the
hardest part of the
sport?
The mental game, for sure.
Just knowing when you’re
starting to to bad, you can’t
think about it. You just got to
keep working and get back.
What’s your spirit
animal?
Maybe a beaver. They
work hard. They get stuff
done all the time. They’re
fast. They’re smart.
Do you have any rituals
or superstitions on the
Photo submitted
course?
A superstition I have is
when I’m not playing good,
I’ll flip my belt in reverse
because it’s black or white,
and I’ll think to myself that
I’m going to shoot better.
And if I’m playing good
with whatever I have on I’ll
just keep it.
If you could own any
kind of exotic pet, what
would you own?
A monkey because they’d
always be around you, just
hanging on your back.
What’s a lesson from
golf that you’ve been
able to apply to your
life?
Keep moving forward.
Don’t look back… Get back
to you and start fresh.

Sandburg takes conference opener from Griffins
RANDY WHALEN
Freelance Reporter
Lincoln-Way East’s Hannah Kowalczyk tries to nudge the
ball between Sandburg’s Keegan Carey and Ellie Watson.
The Griffins fell to the Eagles 25-19, 25-21 in the SouthWest
Suburban Conference opener Thursday, Aug. 30.
Photos by Julie McMann/22nd Century Media
The Griffins’ Ali Sorenson goes for the block on the
Eagles’ Evy Markis. Sorenson finished with four blocks in
the match.
Coming off winning its
first conference championship
in 11 years, the Lincoln-
Way East girls volleyball
team knew a repeat was going
to be tough this season.
After all, the Griffins
graduated three current Division
I players — Molly
Hackett, Haley Hart and
Hanna Lesiak — from last
season’s SouthWest Suburban
Conference Blue Division
title team.
While there is plenty
of season left to play, last
weeks SWSC Blue battle
with Sandburg probably
went a long way toward determining
what team was going
to emerge as conference
champion.
Unfortunately for East,
that was the Eagles. Playing
with a veteran roster, Sandburg
strode into Frankfort
and emerged with a 25-19,
25-21 victory in the SWSC
Blue opener on Thursday,
Aug. 30.
Erica Staunton (10 kills)
led four hitters who had at
least five kills for Sandburg
(7-1, 1-0), which played all
eight of its matches in the
past week. Molly Skoda (9
kills, 5 digs) paced the Griffins
(2-5, 0-1), who are off
to their worst start in years.
They haven’t had a losing
season since going 11-24 in
2009 and have won at least
22 matches every season
since then.
“Most of their kids have
been there, and most everyone
on our team has not”
East coach Kris Fiore said
of the experience difference
between the two teams. “We
know it’s a learning process
for us. We’re not going to hit
the panic button. Conference
championships aren’t won in
August or September.”
Both coaches wished the
matchup was later in the season.
But the schedule, which
was once again necessitated
because of parent/teacher
conferences scheduled on the
original date in October, said
otherwise. Despite Fiore’s assessment
that the conference
title isn’t won this early, history
says it could be.
Neither team plays another
SWSC Blue opponent until
the end of September. The
league usually schedules all
its inter-division matches in
the final weeks of the regular
season.
East’s loss wasn’t for a
lack of energy. The Griffins
opened the first set by
jumping out to leads of 5-1,
6-2, and 7-3. But Sandburg
struck back with an 8-1 run.
Now trailing 11-8, the
Griffins fought back to grab
a 15-14 lead. Skoda, a senior
outside hitter, smashed three
kills in the burst. But behind
16-15, Sandburg scored four
straight points and ended the
set on a 10-3 blitz. Junior libero
Rachel Krasowski (15
digs) had an ace and senior
defensive specialist Grace
Stepanek ended the opener
with another ace.
The second set was a similar
story. East had an early
3-1 lead, but a trio of ties
followed through 5-5. Then
a 9-3 burst put the Eagles
ahead 14-8. Trailing 15-9,
the Griffins answered with a
9-3 spurt of their own to tie
it at 18-18.
Sophomore middle hitter
Ellie Watson walloped
a block, East made two
straight hitting errors and
sophomore right side hitter
Keegan Carey (7 kills)
creamed a kill to make it
22-18. The teams traded
points the rest of the way. A
Staunton kill ended it.
Junior outside hitter Shelby
Stefanon (5 kills, 6 digs),
freshman setter Bianca May
(11 assists), junior defensive
specialist Jaclyn Oblena (6
digs) and DeFries (11 assists,
5 digs, ace) also contributed
for the Eagles.
Senior Hannah Kowalczyk
and sophomore Ava Porada
split the setting duties
for East, and each of them
had 14 assists. Libero Kaleigh
Ritter had 17 digs, and
fellow sophomore Ali Sorenson
smacked four blocks
from her middle hitter position.
Still, it’s an unfamiliar
feeling for Fiore, who guided
the Griffin boys team to
the state title in the spring
and was 55-20 with a pair of
regional championships in
his first two seasons as the
girls coach at the school.
“I don’t know if I’ve ever
opened a season 2-5,” Fiore
admitted.
But, he added that the season
is far from over.
“The kids played hard,”
Fiore said. “We’re right
there. We’ve lost a lot of
close matches. We just have
to execute down the stretch.
We have to get a set lineup.
We still have to get there, but
we’ll figure it out.”
East hopes to do that by
this Thursday, Sept. 6, because
local rival Lincoln-
Way Central comes to town
for a 5:30 p.m. SWSC crossover
matchup between the
District 210 rivals.

Strong offense helps LW East rout Naperville Central
AREA
FOOTBALL
STANDINGS
Jon Depaolis
Freelance Reporter
For the second week in a
row, the Lincoln-Way East
football team started off
slow against a tough opponent.
This time, the Griffins
even trailed 13-3 to Naperville
Central with 7:02 left in
the second quarter Saturday,
Sept. 1, in Frankfort.
But once again, East was
able to find a second level
and turn a 10-point deficit
into a convincing 38-19 win.
Leading the way after a
slow start to the game was
senior quarterback Jack
Baltz, who began 2-for-5
passing with an interception
but finished 16-of-28 for 207
yards, two touchdowns and
two interceptions. He also
rushed nine times for 55
yards.
Also continuing right
where he left off the week
prior, East junior Devon
Williams added three touchdowns
and 130 yards on 19
carries for the Griffins.
East coach Rob Zvonar
said it was a special effort
by the Griffins to beat Naperville
Central, given the
game was rescheduled from
Friday to Saturday because
of storms — not to mention
the continued absence of
All-State wide receiver AJ
Henning.
“It was every phase, because
we all took turns stalling
a little bit,” Zvonar said.
“[Naperville Central quarterback
Payton Thorne] is
awfully good when he gets
into a little rhythm. We just
hung in there, and we bent
quite a bit but didn’t break
too much. We got to capitalize
on some turnovers on
offense early in the game,
which we didn’t.”
The game started well
enough for the Griffins, as
the defense forced the first
of five Naperville Central
turnovers on an interception
by Gus Christensen. On the
ensuing drive, East got a 27-
yard field goal by Dominic
Dzioban.
But Naperville Central
stormed right back with a
sustained drive, ending with
a 35-yard touchdown pass
from Thorne to Cade Mc-
Donald. Naperville Central
failed to convert the extra
point, However, as East’s
Adrian Wilson blocked the
attempt.
To start the second quarter,
East linebacker Danny
Scianna forced a fumble
and then recovered the ball.
Later in the quarter, East’s
Kenny Palmer picked off
Thorne. But the Griffins
were unable to capitalize on
either of those turnovers.
Naperville Central added
to its first-half lead on a
9-yard touchdown strike
from Thorne to Samuel
Jackson.
But after that score, the
East offense started to click.
On the next offensive series,
Baltz found wide receiver
Matt Judd (8 receptions, 109
yards) on two big pass plays.
Then, Williams broke free
on the right edge for a 12-
yard score.
About four minutes later
— and after two big receptions
by Jackson Ritter and
Judd — Williams again
found the end zone on an
8-yard touchdown run to
make it 17-13 East at halftime.
Starting the second half
with the ball, East struck
quickly as Baltz connected
with Chase Anderson (3 receptions,
53 yards) for a 31-
yard touchdown.
Baltz said the Naperville
Central defense came out
strong to start the game,
which led to the trouble early
on for the offense.
“That was a good defense,”
he said. “They hit
hard. I felt it definitely.”
But after fighting through
that adversity early, Baltz
said the offense started to
find its rhythm.
“We settled down, and our
guys started making plays,”
he said. “Basically, we just
found out what their weaknesses
were.”
One of those weaknesses
for Naperville Central came
during man coverage.
“Definitely for the one-onones,
Matt Judd and Chase
Anderson were both making
plays, and so was Jackson
Ritter,” Baltz said. “I just
threw it up, and they got it.
They were making plays.”
Naperville Central battled
back later in the third. Despite
Thorne being picked
off again by Palmer (on a
pass that was blocked at the
line of scrimmage by East’s
Wilson), he led Naperville
Central on a long drive that
concluded with a 30-yard
touchdown to Jackson with
3:54 left in the quarter. But
once again, Naperville Central
failed to convert the extra
point, making it 24-19 East.
The Griffins responded on
the very next series, as Baltz
hit Anderson with a 15-yard
touchdown pass. Then, early
in the fourth quarter, Williams
capped a long drive
by the Griffins with a 2-yard
touchdown run to make it
38-19.
East effectively iced the
game on Naperville Central’s
next drive, as Jake
Tomczak intercepted Thorne
in the end zone with 4:33 to
play.
“I’m really proud of the
grit and the perseverance,”
Zvonar said of his team after
the game. “I just talked to
them, and I don’t think we’re
near [as good] as we could
be. I don’t think we’re playing
our best football yet. If
we can continue to improve,
it can get pretty scary the

level this team can get to.”
One area of the team that
Zvonar does believe is playing
at a high level is the offensive
line.
“Good, bad or ugly —
they’ve done their job every
snap all year so far, and I’m
sure they will continue to do
the same,” Zvonar said.
He credited multi-year
starters Dane Eggert and Anthony
Sottosanto — as well
as a slew of others — and
position coaches Dale Augustine
and Ed Lefevour for
leading the way.
Overall, Zvonar said the
Griffins (2-0) accomplished
the first of its three goals: to
go undefeated in nonconference
games. The other two
goals are to win the South-
West Suburban Conference
and to make a deep run in the
postseason.
The second of those goals
starts in Week 3, as East
opens its SouthWest Suburban
Conference schedule
with a home game against
Andrew.

Frankfort to launch indoor flag football program
Nuria Mathog, Editor
Frankfort youth will have
the chance to participate in
a safe introduction to football
this fall through a new
indoor flag football league,
created through a partnership
between the Frankfort
Park District and Roma
Sports Club.
“We’ve been in talks
with the park district for a
little while now, and it made
sense on both ends to get
together with them on this,”
said Nick McCauley, general
manager of Roma Sports
Club.
The program, scheduled
for Oct. 8-Dec. 15, will be
based out of Roma Sports
Club, located at 9115
Roma Court in Frankfort.
The league includes three
divisions based on the
ages of the participants:
one for first- and secondgraders,
one for third- and
fourth-graders, and a third
"Every kid has their favorite sport, and I think it’s a
great opportunity to provide a kid who loves football
with a safe place to get out and play football."
Maurice Sullivan — Frankfort Park District recreation supervisor
division for fifth-and sixth
graders. Games will take
place on Saturdays, and
each team will have an hour
of practice on Mondays,
McCauley said, adding if
all goes well, he expects to
see "a pretty decent-sized
league."
"I think with the indoor
program ... we made sure
we didn’t run into any other
programs that were going to
be outside," he said. "Ours is
starting after other programs
conclude."
The deadline to register
for the league is Sept. 24,
and the fee for Frankfort
residents is $125, while
non-residents will pay
$130. Participants who register
after the deadline will
be charged an additional
$10 late fee.
McCauley said he thought
the league could be a good
jump start for children who
eventually go on to play traditional
football.
“It’ll be a basic introduction
for these kids,” he
said. “A lot of these kids
are starting young, so they
probably haven’t played
before.”
This fall will mark the
league's first season, but Mc-
Cauley said he hopes to continue
offering the sport every

He also noted all equipment
required for the league
will be provided to participants

"Everyone will be given
