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

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

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

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

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

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

Frankfort Fire Protection District fire chief<br />
awarded designation of chief fire officer<br />
Submitted by Frankfort Fire<br />
Protection District<br />
Frankfort Fire Protection<br />
District Fire Chief Robert<br />
Wilson has successfully<br />
completed the process that<br />
awards the professional designation<br />
of chief fire officer,<br />
or CFO. The Commission<br />
on Professional Credentialing<br />
met on May 8 to confer<br />
the designation. Fire Chief<br />
Wilson became one of only<br />
1,279 CFOs worldwide.<br />
The designation program<br />
is a voluntary program designed<br />
to recognize individuals<br />
who demonstrate their<br />
excellence in seven measured<br />
components including<br />
experience, education,<br />
professional development,<br />
Broker - Management Team<br />
“10”<br />
professional contributions,<br />
associate membership, community<br />
involvement and<br />
technical competence.<br />
The CFO designation program<br />
uses a comprehensive<br />
peer review model to evaluate<br />
candidates seeking credential.<br />
The Commission on<br />
Professional Credentialing<br />
awards the designation only<br />
after an individual successfully<br />
meets all of the organization’s<br />
stringent criteria.<br />
Achieving this designation<br />
signifies Fire Chief<br />
Wilson’s commitment to his<br />
career in the fire and emergency<br />
services.<br />
The professional designation<br />
is valid for three years.<br />
Maintaining the designation<br />
requires recipients to show<br />
continued growth in the areas<br />
of professional development,<br />
professional contributions,<br />
active association<br />
membership and community<br />
involvement as well adhere<br />
to a code of professional<br />
conduct.<br />
brighter future for our customers<br />
and communities. By<br />
advancing green initiatives<br />
through the Green Region<br />
Program, we help enable<br />
grant recipients to transform<br />
their local communities,”<br />
said Fidel Marquez, senior<br />
vice president of governmental<br />
and external affairs<br />
at ComEd. “Our partnership<br />
with Openlands these<br />
past six years helps both<br />
the environment and helps<br />
our customers to enjoy their<br />
communities even more.”<br />
ComEd and Openlands<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Athlete of the Month<br />
Sandburg multi-sport<br />
athlete wins August honor<br />
Bill Jones, Managing Editor<br />
Sandburg senior Marvin<br />
Agwomoh already made his<br />
mark on the track as a state<br />
qualifier in the 800-meter<br />
relay. He also has proven a<br />
leader for the Sandburg boys<br />
basketball team.<br />
And in Week 1 of fall football,<br />
he was one of the key<br />
factors in the Eagles picking<br />
up a win in their seasonopener<br />
for the first time in a<br />
few years.<br />
That all makes it difficult<br />
to deny the results of the<br />
popular vote, as Agwomoh<br />

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

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

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

Three things to<br />
know about the LWE-<br />
Naperville Central<br />
football game<br />
1. East scored first<br />
Dominic Dzioban<br />
scored a 27-yard<br />
field goal in the<br />
first quarter after<br />
a turnover on an<br />
interception by<br />
teammate Gus<br />
Christensen.<br />
2. The Griffins' skill<br />
showed<br />
Devon Williams had<br />
three touchdowns<br />
and 130 yards on<br />
19 carries for his<br />
team.<br />
3. East played hard<br />
until the end<br />
Jake Tomczak<br />
intercepted<br />
Naperville Central<br />
quarterback Payton<br />
Thorne in the end<br />
zone with just 4:33<br />

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

for 6 p.m. Oct. 1 at the<br />
Founders Community Center.<br />
Sullivan said the role is<br />
open to "anyone who enjoys<br />
coaching" and is willing to<br />
lead and teach the players<br />
basic skills.<br />
He also noted all equipment<br />
required for the league<br />
will be provided to participants<br />
and coaches.<br />
"Everyone will be given<br />
jerseys with district levels,<br />
number, either T-shirts or a<br />
jersey — we’re still evaluating<br />
that — and each coach<br />
will receive the football, all<br />
of the flag gear needed for<br />
practices," he said.<br />
Ultimately, Sullivan said,<br />
he hopes residents are willing<br />
to give the program a<br />
try.<br />
"We’re really excited to be<br />
offering this and hope that<br />
it’s successful this year," he<br />
