Nicholas made an appearance 

at the letter writing station, 

Baso was just as elated

for a chance to talk to the

“This is just so much fun,” 

Baso said. “It’s a really great 

way to spend time as a family

I think that Frankfort

strive to keep the charm of

With the calendar flipped 

to December and the tree 

at Breidert Green brightly 

aglow, it is that time once 

again to get into the spirit of 

the season. 

While inclement weather 

might have altered plans for 

the big holiday celebration, 

the Christkindl market in 

Historic Downtown Frankfort 

Saturday, Dec. 1, was 

still a merry good time. 

The annual Christkindl 

Weekend took place took 

place both Dec. 1 and 2, and 

the event featured a variety 

of Christmas and holidaythemed 

activities for the 

entire family to enjoy. Celebrating 

the village’s German 

heritage, the much-loved 

event combines the cherished 

German and European 

traditions with Frankfort’s 

charm. 

The event is inspired by 

the 16th century Christkindlmarkt 

in Nuremberg, 

Germany — one of the first 

holiday markets of its kind. 

Since then, the holiday markets 

have evolved and become 

a worldwide staple for 

the holiday season,with one 

of the most notable being 

Chicago’s Christkindl market 

at Daley Plaza. 

Despite the rain, most 

of the indoor activities 

in Frankfort went on as 

planned, including letter 

writing to Santa and a craft 

station in the Trolley Barn; 

Santa's Secret Workshop, 

which featured a gift market 

for children and gift wrapping 

by Santa’s elves at the 

Frankfort Chamber of Commerce 

office;cookie decorating 

at Kernel Sweetooth; as 

well as hot cocoa stations.

member at KidsWork Children’s 

Museum, volunteered

“Rather than staying inside

events like this — whether 

it be Fall Fest, the Cookie

special place to live. 

“Seeing the village itself 

coming together for these

it’s not something you see in

Residents weigh in on plans for 

Laraway, Route 30 corridors 

Workshop featured 

planning, zoning 

options for future of 

Frankfort 



Zach Brown, assistant director of development for the Village 

of Frankfort, discusses ideas for land use in the Laraway 

corridor with residents who attended the Village planning 

workshop on Nov. 27. Amanda Stoll/22nd Century Media 

The year 2040 may seem 

like a long time from now, 

but, in urban planning terms, 

it is not too early to start. 

Last week, residents gathered 

at the Frankfort Village 

Hall to hear ideas and voice 

their opinions on options laid 

out for the future development 

of areas along Laraway 

Road and Route 30. 

“This is one of several 

community events we’ve had 

to try to get input,” said Zach 

Brown, assistant director 

of development for the Village 

of Frankfort. “A lot of 

tonight’s specific discussion 

was focused on these corridors, 

the Route 30 corridor 

and the Laraway corridor. So 

a lot of the comments we’re 

hearing tonight are new.” 

New, but not necessarily 

surprising based on feedback 

the Village previously got 

when discussing options for 

downtown Frankfort. 

Much of the planning 

phase has been influenced by 

online surveys and community 

input. 

“I think the [recent] survey 

was pretty well received,” 

Brown said. “It was long, but 

we got the most responses of 

all the online surveys we’ve 

done. We got the most for 

the visual preference survey, 

which I think tells you that 

people care. 

“It’s an issue that people 

care about, deeply — protecting 

and preserving the character 

of the downtown.” 

Many of the same sentiments 

abounded at the Nov. 

27 meeting, where residents 

supported the ideas of setting 

aside space for new entertainment, 

residential and 

shopping options as well as 

environmental conservation 

and open space with trail 

connections incorporated 

throughout. 

Rob McKay, who has 

been a Frankfort resident 

for 5 years, said he came to 

the meeting to stay informed 

and have a voice in some of 

the developments, especially 

those near the Laraway Road 

corridor. 

“I want to be involved and 

be a part of, or at least know 

what the thoughts are moving 

forward for the Village. 

Specifically the Laraway corridor 

is a concern for me and 

the consideration that Will 

County has on the table to 

expand that,” McKay, who 

lives in that area, said. “So, 

just wanted to see what the 

Village is doing to work with 

that or prevent that.” 

He said he has family in 

communities that he believes 

have been affected detrimentally 

by road expansions and 

trucking, which he does not 

want to see happen in Frankfort 

or the surrounding communities. 

As someone who has children, 

McKay said he would 

also like to see more opportunities 

for indoor and outdoor 

entertainment and recreation

in town. 

“I think that we as a community 

need more entertainment 

stuff,” he said. “If you 

want to do a lot of the outdoor 

recreational stuff, you have 

to kind of travel outside the 

community. We don’t have a 

lot internally, so we need to 

expand on that.” 

Nancy Schmitz, who has 

lived in the Frankfort area 

all her life, said the look and 

feel of Frankfort is something 

she enjoys most about Frankfort’s 

downtown, and it is 

something she does not want 

to go away. 

“I like the old town, nostalgic, 

vintage feel,” she said. 

“That’s what I like about this 

area.” 

After taking the online 

surveys and looking at the 

information on the website, 

Schmitz said she decided to 

get involved so he would have 

a better handle on the Village’s 

overall plan for the area. 

“I was taking the surveys

Gas station reportedly robbed 

Staff Report 

A Frankfort gas station reportedly 

was robbed by two 

men in the early morning of 

Nov. 26, according to the 

Will County Sheriff’s Office. 

An employee at the Speedway 

located at 19730 S. 

Harlem Ave. told police two 

black male individuals entered 

the store at about 1:25 

a.m. and approached the employee, 

who was behind the 

counter. One of the individuals 

allegedly said “Give me 

all you got” and might have 

had a gun in the pocket of his 

sweatshirt. 

The employee handed over 

a small amount of cash from 

the register while the second 

individual reportedly stood 

near the counter with a semiautomatic 

handgun. The two 

subjects subsequently left the 

store on foot. 

The employee was unharmed. 

The Will County Sheriff's 

Office did not immediately 

respond to the Station's requests 

for more information.

in the area of Lincoln Highway 

and Harlem Avenue. 

Frankfort Deputy Police 

Chief Kevin Keegan said an 

officer observed two vehicles 

traveling at high speeds 

disobey the red traffic light 

in the intersection. The officer 

was able to pull over 

the second vehicle and Rice, 

the vehicle’s driver, reportedly 

said he was following 

the first vehicle because it 

had struck his vehicle near 

the intersection of U.S. Interstate 

355 and 159th Street 

and he was trying to get it to 

stop. 

A subsequent search of the 

vehicle revealed a .32 caliber 

handgun, six spent casings 

that were warm to the 

touch and a 9mm handgun, 

and the substance tested positive 

as 0.5 grams of cocaine, 

Keegan said. As of Nov. 29, 

the other vehicle had not 

been located, Keegan said. 

Nov. 24 

• Damage was reported to a 

vehicle parked in a driveway 

in the 21800 block of Morning 

Dove Drive. 

Nov. 23 

• Damage was reported to a 

vehicle parked in a driveway 

in the 21800 block of Morning 

Dove Lane. 

Nov. 20 

• Items reportedly were stolen 

from an unsecured vehicle 

in a business parking lot 

in the 11000 block of Lincoln 

Highway. 

Nov. 19 

• Miscellaneous items reportedly 

were stolen from a 

construction site in the 11200 

block of York Drive.

Oh, so you’re those kind

This was the last community 

workshop in this stage of 

development. Soon the Village 

will begin establishing 

a more formal outline with 

drafts and a written plan, 

which will be shared with the 

community along the way. 

He also noted that with any 

type of large project, no matter 

how far down the road, 

there are concerns from people 

in the community. 

“I think what we’ve heard 

from people is that we need to 

be sensitive in terms of how 

we develop that and change 

that,” Brown said, “So that 

we minimize any impacts 

to people that already live 

around that property.”

FROM THE NEW LENOX PATRIOT 

NL native plans second 

cross country ride to benefit 

veterans 

New Lenox native Tracy 

Sefcik completed her crosscountry 

bike trip from California 

to Florida earlier this 

year and is already planning 

her next one. 

“Well, you know, I can’t 

just do this once,” Sefcik 

said. “I guess it’s my calling.” 

During her first ride for 

charity, Sefcik raised more 

than $30,000 for the Gary 

Sinise Foundation in support 

of veterans. Her next 

endeavor is to raise $50,000 

for a charity closer to home 

called the Oscar Mike Foundation. 

The fundraiser officially 

started Nov. 7 on her website, 

www.crosscountrycyc 

le4vets.com. The day holds 

special meaning for Sefcik, 

a Navy veteran, because it 

is the anniversary of the day 

her uncle’s plane went down 

in Korea many years ago 

and he was determined to be 

Missing In Action. 

The Oscar Mike Foundation 

serves veterans around 

the country through its programs, 

which are aimed at 

getting wounded and disabled 

veterans active again 

through a variety of activities, 

including exercise, 

flight lessons, shooting practice, 

kayaking, paddleboarding, 

fishing, horseback riding 

and skydiving. 

Participants are flown out 

to spend a week at the foundation’s 

compound, where 

Sefcik said the goal is to give 

them a new lease on life and 

a positive outlook for the future 

despite their limitations 

and injuries.

FROM THE TINLEY JUNCTION 

Andrew senior wrestler 

fueled by tough loss 

Andrew wrestler Luc Valdez 

suffered last year, losing 

a 1-point sectional decision 

in a match that would have 

sent him downstate to compete 

in the Class 3A individual 

state finals. 

Worse yet, it was a 1-point 

decision loss to Marmion’s 

Michael Jaffe, who went on 

to place fourth in Illinois at 

113 pounds. 

“That loss motivates me 

every single day,” Valdez 

said. 

Three additional Andrew 

wrestlers came within one 

win of advancing downstate 

last year, including varsity 

returnees J.P. Migawa and 

Ameer Aqel. Thunderbolts 

coach Mike Pila knows that 

none of them are about to let 

those losses go. 

In his fourth season as a 

varsity wrestler, Valdez entered 

his senior year with 

more than 100 wins to his 

name. He won 29 matches 

as a freshman, 35 as a sophomore 

and 37 matches last 

year.

FROM THE HOMER HORIZON 

Homer woman works with 

nonprofit to provide solar 

lights for poverty-stricken 

areas 

Beth Sadler, 25, of Homer 

Glen, is currently enrolled at 

Adler University in Chicago, 

working on her master’s degree 

in counseling with art 

therapy. And as part of her 

global outreach practicum, 

she needed to find an organization 

working to help 

people in need. 

Sadler came upon the 

website for Watts of Love, 

a nonprofit organization that 

provides clean and renewable 

light sources to families 

living in cases of extreme 

poverty without access to 

electricity in more than 30 

countries, she said. 

“[The Watts of Love] 

website seemed so welcoming 

and friendly, the layout 

modern, not sugarcoating 

anything,” Sadler recalled. 

“People really benefit [from 

the lights]. The photos it 

has are incredible — of the 

smiles on these kids’ faces, 

the mothers in tears [because] 

kids can now go to 

school, study at night and 

have a light source.” 

The Go Dark, Give Light 

campaign started by Watts of 

Love invites organizations 

across the country to voluntarily 

“go dark” and give up 

their cellphones and social 

media for an agreed upon 

period of time while raising 

funds from friends and family 

for the solar lights, according 

to Sadler. The nonprofit 

then provides funds 

globally to “give light” to 

those who need it most. 

Materials needed to 

launch and run a Go Dark, 

Give Light campaign are

FROM THE LOCKPORT LEGEND 

Lockport Woman’s Club 

ramping up local work 

Jane Passaglia, the president 

of the Lockport Woman’s 

Club, knows what most 

people think of when they 

hear about a woman’s club. 

She thought the same 

thing when she was asked to 

join years ago. 

“I had the same stereotype 

that anyone would have 

about women’s club, that it’s 

a ladies who lunch club, and 

that it’s not that well adapted 

to the modem woman, with 

her schedule and life,” Passaglia 

said. “But I have to 

say, I owe a lot to the Woman’s 

Club of Lockport.” 

Now, as president of the 

club, Passaglia hopes other 

area women come to discover 

the same things she has 

learned from the it. 

Passaglia moved to Lockport 

nine years ago to be 

closer to her daughter, and 

when she moved, she wanted 

to get involved in her new 

community. 

In the six months since she 

has been at the helm, Passaglia 

said she has turned the 

club’s focus toward the community.

FROM THE MOKENA MESSENGER 

My Joyful Heart brings 

Christmas cheer to children 

When providing food and 

shelter are the biggest financial 

concerns a family faces, 

the extra things such as new 

clothing or Christmas presents 

often can fall by the 

wayside. 

Each year around Christmastime, 

My Joyful Heart 

provides Christmas gift bags 

to children in the south suburbs. 

This year, they are to 

reach almost 1,000 children. 

Founder and Executive 

Director Diane Carroll said 

many of those children are 

part of families with a single 

mom, who is just trying to 

make ends meet and provide 

for their children. 

“I was a single mom. I 

raised my three kids. Believe 

me, I know the challenges,” 

Carroll said. 

Children in the program 

are enrolled mainly by a 

social worker from their 

school, who then fills out a 

profile on each child, including 

their ages, favorite colors, 

interests, reading levels 

and school grade levels. 

In addition to toys and 

clothing, Carroll said books 

always are included in the 

gifts, which she said has 

helped many of them with 

their reading skills.

From the Assistant Editor 

From passion to profession 

Megan Schuller 


Some people want to be 

astronauts, teachers or 

mathematicians when 

they grow up. But me, I 

always said I wanted to be a 

news person. 

It was a promise I wrote 

many times over on school 

assignments when asked to 

hone in on a viable future career. 

I may not have known 

the full extent to which part 

of the profession I wanted to 

one day settle in on, but even 

back then I knew I wanted 

to be reporting the news. 

I wanted to be a voice, a 

mouthpiece of local news. 

It wasn’t a decision that 

came to me as an epiphany 

but, rather, a culmination 

of mornings reading 

Plainfield’s local newspaper 

every Sunday morning with 

my father over breakfast, 

watching the 6 p.m. news 

every night with my mother 

and realizing that at my core 

I was a wordsmith. 

Back then I never could 

have imagined myself 

where I am today. I had no 

inkling that, many years 

later, I would end up here at 

22nd Century Media as the 

new assistant editor. 

My journalism journey 

began long before I stepped 

foot at 22nd Century Media. 

I realized I had a knack for 

reporting and storytelling 

in high school, as I worked 

on my school’s newspaper. 

This solidified the thing that 

I had always known since 

the fifth grade: I wanted to 

be a reporter and, perhaps 

one day, an editor. 

I graduated with honors 

from Roosevelt University 

in Chicago, where studying 

journalism and running 

the college newspaper, The 

Torch refined my reporting 

skills and calibrated my 

news judgment. 

This led me to freelance 

for the U.S. Navy’s publication, 

All Hands Magazine, 

as well as the Herald News, 

the Morris Herald and most 

recently all of the 22nd Century 

Media publications. I 

have covered stories from 

as far away as Charleston, 

South Carolina, to as close 

to home as the Lincoln-Way 

community. 

If my byline seems familiar, 

well, that’s because 

you’re right: it is. I’m back 

in action. I have been freelancing 

with 22nd Century 

Media since April, covering 

homegrown stories across 

the local community. I have 

covered everything from 

Village and Board of Education 

meetings, to features 

on locals making a difference 

in the community, and 

everything in between. 

Writing about the homegrown 

stories in our area is 

where my passion for journalism 

truly lies. Capturing 

the hyper-local stories that 

impact every aspect of the 

community, from local government 

to the person reading 

this now, is what makes 

me tick. I firmly believe that 

this kind of local journalism 

is impactful and needed 

now more than ever. 

A little known fact about 

me is one of my biggest 

supporters, my fiance, Justin, 

is an active-duty sailor and 

is currently deployed on 

the USS Greeneville. Right 

before he left, he sent me a 

package with a DSLR camera 

I had been saving up for 

to use for my freelancing. I 

always say, because of him, I 

continually look at the world 

around me with a new lens 

of gratitude and humbleness 

whenever I report. 

Early on, I was taught the 

mantra that, as a reporter, 

my first obligation is to the 

truth. I had many professors 

and mentors of the craft. 

But one in particular mentored 

me meticulously in 

feature writing. He always 

stressed the importance of 

scene reporting so that, in 

print, the story feels as real 

to the reader as it did when 

the reporter experienced it. 

He used to say that if there 

are tears in the writer, there 

will be tears in the reader. 

I hope that by working as 

the assistant editor for The 

Mokena Messenger, The 

Frankfort Station and The 

New Lenox Patriot I can 

work alongside my editors 

and the community members 

I have come to know 

well from the freelancing 

I’ve done across the area. 

Most importantly, I hope 

I can keep local journalism 

alive. They say knowledge 

is power, and if that’s true, 

then I’d say that local 

journalism has its own sense 

of power through education 

and access of information. 

I have had people tell me 

that print is dying and I’ll 

sink trying to stay afloat in 

the newspaper industry. I am, 

in fact, the opposite and keeping 

my head well above the 

water. I still believe in holding 

a newspaper — the feel 

of the lightweight, off-colored 

pages and the smell of the ink 

warm off the press. I believe 

there is still value in this, and 

that is why I dedicate myself 

tirelessly to my profession. 

The black cap I threw up 

in the air on my graduation 

day last December was decorated

FROM THE ORLAND PARK PRAIRIE 

Santa, shopping and 

sparkling lights shine at 

Holiday Fest & Tree Lighting 

Sleigh bells were jingling, 

voices were singing and 

twinkling lights adorned the 

tree outside of Village Hall. 

The Village of Orland 

Park welcomed in the season 

Nov. 25 with its annual Holiday 

Festival & Tree Lighting 

Ceremony, held from 

4:30-7:30 p.m. at the Civic 

Center. Along with witnessing 

Village Center transform 

into a winter wonderland, 

attendees were able to enjoy 

entertainment, crafts, visits 

with Santa Claus and much 

more. 

The winter weather caused 

event organizers to move 

select outdoor elements indoors, 

including the Holiday 

Market, which opened 

at 3:30 p.m., while the food 

trucks, Jingle Johns (lighted, 

singing portable toilets), live 

reindeer visits and the icesculpture 

demonstration — 

the last of which was new 

this year — offered exterior 

fun for families. 

“Tonight, we have a great 

cross section of families 

here, because we have things 

outdoors and our vendors 

inside,” explained Nancy 

Flores, Orland Park’s director 

of recreation. “The tree 

lighting puts everyone in the 

Christmas spirit.” 

Mayor Keith Pekau welcomed 

Santa Claus back to 

Orland Park at the start of 

the festivities. The pair then 

invited children to join in 

leading the countdown to the 

tree lighting, which culminated 

with the illumination 

of holiday features displayed 

on the Village Center lawn.

Chorale to perform Christmas show under new director 

Elise Greene 

became the group’s 

artistic director 

earlier this year 



What began as a small 

advertisement for singers to 

join a community choir has 

grown and endured the years 

to become a distinguished 

group of dedicated vocalists. 

The Lincoln-Way Area 

Choral’s annual holiday concert 

has become a community 

tradition, with many of 

the same favorite pieces being 

revisited year after year. 

Along with the classics, 

this year’s “Sing we now 

of Christmas” show will include 

a variety of new songs 

and feature the group’s 

new artistic director: Elise 

Greene. 

Greene was a guest conductor 

for one song during 

the group’s spring concert, 

but officially took over as 

the group’s artistic director 

after Greg Day’s retirement. 

One of the group’s biggest 

challenges as a community 

choir is that they only practice 

once per week, but take 

the same amount of music 

for a concert that a professional 

organization might. 

“We have 22 pieces of music 

on this concert,” Greene 

said. 

With such a lengthy concert 

planned, individual and 

sectional practices outside 

of the weekly Monday night 

rehearsals have been crucial 

for the singers. 

“We’re real excited to be 

singing this under her," Ken 

Reed, bass singer and member 

of the chorale’s board. 

Andrea Thompson, who 

has also been with the chorale 

since the beginning, said 

Green brings a lot of energy 

Director Elise Greene leads a Lincoln-Way Area Chorale 

practice on at Peace Community Church in Frankfort. The 

chorale will perform their annual holiday concert titled 

“Sing we now of Christmas” at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 9 at 

Lincoln-Way East High School. 

to the group. 

“She really keeps everybody 

focused and has 

worked very hard at doing 

things to prepare the chorale,” 

said Thompson, who 

sings alto in the group. 

The work required to put 

together a concert makes 

for a lot of work for everyone 

involved, but Reed said 

the group is extremely dedicated 

to what they do, which 

is what makes their level of 

performances possible. 

“It’s an organization that 

you can really believe in because 

it’s so much fun, it’s 

so good to do,” Reed said, 

“and it feels so good when 

you perform. It’s such a high 

when you get done with a 

concert.” 

While the chorale will certainly 

be singing some difficult 

and classical pieces during 

their concert, many of 

the songs are classic carols 

and fun pieces that everyone 

will enjoy. 

“We have a really wide 

variety of different genres of 

songs we’re going to do, so 

“Sing We Now of 

Christmas”

Way Chorale

anything from really, really 

traditional things — we’re 

doing the first movement 

of Ruttar’s ‘Gloria,’ we’re 

doing the ‘Hallelujah Chorus,’” 

Greene said, “We’re 

doing some novelty pieces 

like ‘Sleigh Ride’ and ‘Twas 

the Night Before Christmas,’ 

and we’re doing some others 

that are some softer lullabytype 

pieces and everything 

in between.” 

One of the more unique 

pieces the group will be

singing is a new take on an 

old favorite: “The 12 Days 

of Christmas.” The Canadian 

Brass rendition will feature 

a different composer on 

each day accompanied by a 

snippet of music written by 

them. 

For the pieces involving 

brass players, the group will 

employ the talents of five 

professional players, as well 

as high school students from 

Andrew High School in Tinley 

Park and Marian Catholic 

High School in Chicago 

Heights. 

The upcoming “Sing we 

now of Christmas” show 

will also feature a children’s 

choir from Fernway Park Elementary 

School, which will 

join the Lincoln-Way Area 

chorale for the final two 

pieces of the concert. 

“I think the (holiday concerts) 

are feel-good concerts 

for the audience [and] for 

the performers, too,” Greene 

said. “I think it’s just a whole 

spirit that goes with it, and I 

think it’s very joyous.” 

The chorale will perform 

“Sing we now of Christmas” 

at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 9 

at Lincoln-Way East High 

School. For tickets, visit

A wood-crafted American 

flag hangs on the militarygreen 

painted wall, and beer 

tap handles are in the shape 

of 20 mm caliber rounds inside 

At Ease Craft Beer Pub 

in Homer Glen. 

The owner, Nick Roppo 

— who served for seven 

years in the Army — shares 

throughout his pub a piece 

of what makes him who is 

he today: a proud military 

veteran. 

Roppo brought At Ease to 

Homer Glen because of his 

love for craft beer and love 

for country. 

“There’s no places that 

really are a craft beer-like 

pub here in Homer,” he said. 

“So, I figured, ‘Hey, why not 

try to introduce something 

new to this town?’” 

He opened At Ease in 

April of this year, following 

the closing of his parent’s 

restaurant Steamer’s 

Grill n Pub last December in 

the same location. It was a 

dream of his to have his own 

business after serving in the 

military. 

“[At Ease is] a double 

meaning,” he said. “For 

someone that wasn’t in the 

military, at ease means come 

in and relax. It has the same 

meaning when you would 

tell a soldier at ease, to relax. 

So, I want people come in 

here and relax.” 

When the pub first opened, 

there were 54 craft beers and 

several ciders available. On 

Aug. 11, Roppo abruptly 

closed for a month to expand 

his food and beverage offerings 

before reopening on 

Sept. 12. 

Now at Ease offers 38 craft 

beers, six ciders, six wines, 

domestic beers and hard liquor. 

Roppo also expanded 

his food menu by adding a 

variety of sandwiches, salads, 

appetizers and pizza. 

One of the new items on the At Ease menu is the Buffalo 

chicken sandwich ($12), which is made with fresh chicken, 

Buffalo sauce, provolone cheese, pickles and lettuce. 

Thomas Czaja/22nd Century Media 

Some of the new items on 

the menu include the Buffalo 

chicken sandwich ($12) 

which is made with fresh 

chicken, Buffalo sauce, provolone 

cheese, pickles and 

lettuce. Roppo also added 

a spicy chicken sandwich 

($12), chicken caesar wrap 

($12) and grilled chicken 

sandwich ($10). Every sandwich 

and burger on the menu 

comes with fries. 

Also new to the menu are 

several appetizers, including 

onion rings ($4), fried cauliflower 

($5) and jalapeno 

poppers ($5). The cheese 

curds ($5) have been popular 

since Day 1 and remain 

on the new menu. 

Two menu items that 

stayed on the menu and remain 

popular are the grilled 

ch-ease ($10), which has 

provolone, muenster, Gouda 

and pimento cheeses, with 

bacon and tomato. The bourbon 

burger ($12), another 

hit, has Brie cheese and 

pickled onion. 

When Roppo introduced 

the revamped menu, he 

added two house drinks he 

said he made strong to represent 

the names that accompany 

them. Army Ranger 

($6.95) has rum, Red Bull 

and Jägermeister, while the

has tequila, grapefruit juice,

the glass rim. 

While the food and beverage 

menu were revamped, 

Roppo also made some 

changes inside. He added 

three TVs, a dartboard and 

TouchTunes. 

The veteran-owned business 

has received a lot of 

positive feedback from customers. 

“Everyone really likes the 

name,” he said. “There’s a 

lot of veterans that do come 

in. They’re like, ‘Wow, this 

is awesome.’ They like what 

I’ve done with the place.”

The Dish 

Cooper’s Hawk brings upscale cooking, abundance of wine to New Lenox 

James Sanchez 

Contributing Editor 

Cooper’s Hawk recently 

opened its 11th Chicago-area 

location in New Lenox, only 

14 miles apart from its first 

location in Orland Park. 

Ed Hammer, general manager 

of the New Lenox location, 

said people thought it 

was crazy to open another 

location so close, but when 

considering Orland Park 

Cooper’s Hawk has more 

than 30,000 Wine Club members 

— the most of all 33 

locations across the country 

— opening another location 

in the south suburbs was a 

no-brainer. 

In just a few weeks after its 

grand opening, it has eclipsed 

1,000 Wine Club members. 

To put that in perspective, 

Hammer said it took a new 

location in Michigan more 

than a month to hit that milestone. 

“Everybody’s been ecstatic 

so far,” Hammer said. “It’s 

been very welcoming to the 

community. So far, everyone 

has embraced what we bring 

to the table.” 

But guests don’t have to be 

Wine Club members to enjoy 

the offerings the winery 

and restaurant has. Cooper’s 

Hawk features a 110-item 

menu, featuring scratchmade, 

contemporary American 

dishes, with flavors from 

around the world. 

There is the Italian flair 

with the shrimp and scallop 

risotto ($26.99), in which 

the seafood and rich, creamy 

Carnaroli rice is mixed with 

sweet corn, asparagus, peas, 

spinach, Parmesan and white 

truffle oil. Even flavors from 

Asia can be found in the 

ginger soy glazed NY strip 

($33.99), accompanied by 

wasabi-buttered mashed potatoes 

and oven-roasted vegetables.

sauce mixture and served 

with sesame-sriracha sauce. 

And the pan-roasted barramundi 

($25.99) is served 

with ginger rice, a Thai lemongrass 

sauce and vegetables. 

But Hammer said the most

“It’s been the No. 1-selling

said. 

Each dish on the menu has 

a wine pairing, suggested 

by the winemaker. Cooper’s 

Hawk has wines to please 

those new to wine or seasoned 

drinkers, with more 

than 50 wine selections that 

are all produced with grapes 

imported from all over the 

world by its winery in Woodridge. 

For the wines alone, 

Cooper’s Hawk has received 

more than 500 awards, most 

recently winning Best of 

Class at the International 

Eastern Wine Competition 

and Best of Show at the San 

Francisco Chronicle Wine 

Competition in 2017. 

The Napa-style tasting 

room is what guests first experience 

when entering the 

restaurant. There, they can 

explore and learn about different 

wines through a wine 

tasting and expand their palates. 

For $7, guests can do a 

variety tasting (eight samples) 

of white and red wines, from 

fruity to dark and bold flavors, 

or a tasting of all sweet wines. 

For $10, the tasting includes 

a souvenir wine glass. A Lux 

Tasting ($12) provides samples 

of Cooper’s Hawk’s valued 

wines. The selections in 

all of the tastings rotate every 

month and always includes 

a sample of the Wine of the 

Month. 

December’s Wine of the 

Month is Barbera Barbera. 

The blend brings together 

Cooper’s Hawk’s traditional 

Barbera — a red wine grape 

— it has used out of California 

with another Barbera produced 

in Northern Italy. For 

January, it is slated to be the 

Artist’s Red Blend, which is 

the official wine for the 2019

The pan-roasted barramundi ($25.99) is one of the top 

dishes at Cooper’s Hawk. The fish sits atop a bed of ginger 

rice and is surrounded by blistered green beans, grape 

tomatoes and a Thai lemongrass sauce.

get out of town! 

Chicago a winter wonderland with the right perspective 

Or, how I learned to 

stop worrying and 

love the snow 

Bill Jones, Editor 

Ride or drive 

One of the most surreal 

days I spent in Chicago was 

a Christmas Eve two years 

back. I was off work, and I, 

on a whim, drove alone to 

the Fulton-Randolph Market 

neighborhood early that 

morning. 

I figured I might stop by 

Publican Quality Meats to 

get a few extra things for our 

Christmas dinner (and a couple 

of Slagel Family Farms 

dry-aged rib-eyes). I thought 

maybe I would swing by Perman 

Wine Selections to see 

what was among their wine 

club offerings for the month, 

the now-defunct West Loop 

Salumi for some good charcuterie. 

I did no research, and most 

of the neighborhood was 

closed for an extended holiday. 

I accomplished nothing, 

but the experience was wonderful. 

As I wandered the desolate 

streets, devoid of both people 

and somehow less vehicles 

than usual, it could have had 

the eerie feeling of a ghost 

town, with little sound but 

the winds. But somehow the 

remainder of some melting 

snow and the brick of the 

old meat-packing-districtturned-restaurant 

hot spot 

made it feel more like a living 

postcard. 

And so, I just walked. I 

walked in the middle of side 

streets with no traffic to impede 

me. I crossed Randolph 

without hassle. I peeked into 

numerous storefronts I’d 

passed countless times before. 

And it solidified just 

how much I love visiting 

Chicago in the winter. 

Christmas Eve in 2016: The streets of the West Loop/Fulton Market are largely empty. 

The only thing that could make it more enjoyable are some snowflakes. Bill Jones/22nd 

Century Media 

It seems counterintuitive 

to enjoy a city more when its 

winters make travel a nightmare, 

when its windchills 

provide an extreme endurance 

challenge as good as 

any and when, at its worst, 

most of its outdoor attractions 

are off limits. But those 

are the types of things that 

discourage normal folks, and 

for me that means an opportunity 

to explore a usually 

bustling cityscape without as 

much of the bustle. 

Sure, Michigan Avenue 

draws a crowd for the holidays. 

Yes, the shirtless maniacs 

will still load up on brews 

and pack Soldier Field (maybe 

this year into the playoffs). 

And rush hour traffic does not 

stop because of the change in 

the seasons. But I generally 

find it easier to get around. 

And Chicago, already a 

beautiful city, takes on an 

extra-special vibe around this 

time of year. From the way 

snow changes the landscape 

to the skyscrapers lighting it 

up for the season to the winter 

coats and scarves, Chicago 

simply looks right in 

winter. 

And the cold has a way of 

Another Perspective 

We asked readers on social media about their favorite 

things to do in the city during the winter. They said… 

“Museum of Science and Industry, 

Christmas Around the World!” 

—Jason Matthew 

“MSI to visit the trees! My maiden 

name is on the Austria tree. Walnut 

Room, my Granny worked for 

Macy’s. Memories of the holiday 

party back then I share with my 

daughter.” 

—Michele Overstreet 

making you appreciate the 

warmth of the destinations 

even more. It encourages you 

to duck into new spots (stop 

in for a blast of heat, stay for 

the things). It makes that hot 

chocolate (or hot toddy) that 

much more special. 

Plus, from afternoon tea at 

The Drake’s Palm Court 

to that classic buffet around 

the Walnut Room tree to 

the displays at Macy’s or 

ice skating in Millennium 

Park, there is no shortage of 

seasonal activities designed 

to warm the heart. 

But we’ll get to some more 



makes a case for 

taking the train 



Going downtown in 

Chicago can be tricky. Between 

traffic, parking and 

the fear of being involved 

in a collision, it is enough 

to scare away people who 

are not used to driving in 

the city. 

Luckily, for people in 

the suburbs there is another 

option: train. 

When comparing prices, 

riding the train generally 

seems less expensive. 

A one-way ticket from Orland 

Park to Union Station 

will cost $6.75 or $7.25, 

depending on the station. 

A round-trip makes 

it roughly $15 to take the 

Metra. Add in a couple of 

dollars for parking, and 

the trip downtown likely 

will still cost you less than 

$20. 

Planning to go downtown 

Saturday and/or 

Sunday? Metra’s weekend 

pass is $10, and you 

can ride as much as you 

want all weekend. Some 

stations even have free 

parking on the weekends, 

of what I like to do in Chicago 

in the next column. 

Get out of Town! is a monthly 

travel column focusing on 

taking that cost out of the 

equation altogether. 

That brings us to the 

topic of parking, which 

in downtown Chicago can 

put a hurt on your wallet. 

According to SpotHero, 

a phone app that helps 

people find parking spaces, 

parking can cost $50 or 

more for 24 hours in some 

garages, with the average 

rate across the city still 

being nearly $35. 

Even if you are staying 

at a hotel overnight, the 

hotel may charge you a 

pretty penny to park there, 

as well. 

So how do you decide 

whether to take the 

train or drive when going 

downtown? 

A few things to consider 

when deciding whether to 

drive or take the train are: 

the size of your group, 

weather conditions, final 

destination, amount of 

luggage and time constraints. 

Personally, I almost 

always elect to take the 

train, since I hate traffic 

and I am usually traveling 

in a small enough group 

that carpooling does not 

defray the cost of parking 

enough to make it worth it. 

Plus, I don’t mind walking 

downtown and taking the 

CTA, which makes my 

decision easy. 

relatively local destinations 

and activities, with helpful tips, 

readers’ stories and more. This 

is Part I of a two-part winter 

fun in Chicago entry.

Distinctive Home Builders Introduces New Craftsman Homes 

In Manhattan and Peotone – From the mid-$200’s 

New designs are a result of buyer feedback 

Two refreshing designs mark 

the beginning of a new series 

of Craftsman-style homes 

available from Distinctive Home 

Builders at its latest new home 

communities: Prairie Trails; 

located in Manhattan within the 

highly-regarded Lincoln-Way 

School District and at WestGate 

Manor in Peotone within 

the desirable Peotone School 

District. 

“Craftsman homes were 

introduced in the early 1900s 

in California with designs 

based on a simpler, functional 

aesthetic using a higher level 

of craftsmanship and natural 

materials. These homes were a 

departure from homes that were 

mass produced from that era, 

“according to Bryan Nooner, 

president of Distinctive Home 

Builders. 

“The Craftsman design has 

made a comeback today for 

many of the same reasons it 

started over a century ago. Our 

customers want to live in a home 

that gets away from the “mass 

produced” look and live in a 

home that has more character. As 

a result of our daily interaction 

with our homeowners and their 

input, we are excited to introduce 

these two homes, with additional 

designs in the works.” 

Nooner, who meets with 

each homeowner prior to 

construction, has been working 

on these plans for a while and felt 

that the timing was ideal for the 

debut. “Customers were asking 

for something different and 

simple with less monotony and 

higher architectural standards.” 

The result was the Craftsman 

ranch and the Prairie twostory, 

now available at Prairie 

Trails and WestGate Manor. 

The Craftsman ranch features 

an open floor plan with Great 

Room, three bedrooms, two 

baths and a two-car (optional 

three-car) garage. The Prairie 

features a two-story foyer and 

Great Room, three bedrooms 

and one and one-half baths, a 

convenient Flex Room space 

on the main level and a two-car 

(optional three-car) garage. The 

Craftsman architectural elements 

on both homes include brick and 

stone exteriors with cedar shake 

accent siding, low-pitched gabled 

bracket roofs, front porches with 

tapered columns and stone piers, 

partially paned windows, and a 

standard panel front entry door. 

Distinctive Home Builders 

offers a Craftsman-style trim 

package offering trim without 

ornate profiles and routers. The 

trim features simplicity in design 

with rectangles, straight lines and 

layered look trims over doors for 

example. The front entry door 

will have the standard Craftsman 

panel style door. Distinctive has 

also created a Craftsman color 

palate to assist buyers in making 

coordinated choices for the 

interior of their new Craftsman 

home. Colors, cabinet styles and 

flooring choices blend seamlessly 

with the Craftsman trim package 

and are available in gray tones 

package and earth tones. 

Distinctive offers custom maple 

kitchen cabinets featuring solid 

wood construction (no particle 

board), have solid wood drawers 

with dove tail joints, which is 

very rare in the marketplace. 

“When you buy a new home 

from Distinctive, you truly are 

receiving custom made cabinets 

in every home we sell no matter 

what the price range,” noted 

Nooner. 


works to achieve a delivery goal 

of 90 days with zero punch list 

items for its homeowners. “Our 

three decades building homes 

provides an efficient construction 

system,” said Nooner. “Many of 

our skilled craftsmen have been 

working with our company 

for over 20 years. We also 

take pride on having excellent 

communicators throughout our 

organization. This translates into 

a positive buying and building 

experience for our homeowners 

and one of the highest referral 

rates in the industry.” 

Nooner added that all homes 

are highly energy efficient. Every 

home built will have upgraded 

wall and ceiling insulation 

values with energy efficient 

windows and high efficiency 

furnaces. Before homeowners 

move into their new home, 


conducts a blower door test that 

pressurizes the home to ensure 

that each home passes a set of 

very stringent Energy Efficiency 

guidelines. 

With the addition of these two 

new designs, there are now 15 

ranch, split-level and six twostory 

single-family home styles to 

choose from each offering from 

three to eight different exterior 

elevations at both communities. 

The three- to four-bedroom 

homes feature one and one-half 

to two-and-one-half baths, twoto 

three-car garages and a family 

room, all in approximately 1,600 

to over 3,000 square feet of living 

space. Basements are included in 

most models as well. Distinctive 

also encourages customization 

to make your new home truly 

personalized to suit your lifestyle. 

Oversize home sites; brick 

exteriors on all four sides of the 

first floor; custom maple cabinets; 

ceramic tile or hardwood 

floors in the kitchen, baths and 

foyer; genuine wood trim and 

doors and concrete driveways 

can all be yours at Prairie 

Trails and WestGate Manor. 

Most all home sites at Prairie 

Trails and WestGate Manor 

can accommodate a three-car 

garage; a very important amenity 

to the Manhattan homebuyer, 

said Nooner. 

“When we opened Prairie 

Trails and WestGate Manor we 

wanted to provide the best new 

home value for the dollar and 

we feel with offering Premium 

Standard Features that we do 

just that. So why wait? This is 

truly the best time to build your 

dream home!” 

Prairie Trails is also a beautiful 

place to live and raise a family 

featuring a 20-acre lake on site, 

as well as direct access to the 22- 

mile Wauponsee Glacial Prairie 

Path that borders the community 

and meanders through many 

neighboring communities and 

links to many other popular 

trails. The Manhattan Metra 

station is less than a mile away. 

Besides Prairie Trails, 


has built homes throughout 

Manhattan in the Butternut 

Ridge and Leighlinbridge 

developments, as well as in the 

Will and south Cook county 

areas over the past 30 years. 


chose the Will County village 

of Peotone for its newest 

community of 38 single-family 

homes at WestGate Manor 

within walking distance of the 

esteemed Peotone High School. 

Its convenient location between

50 provide easy access to I-80 

and commuters enjoy several 

nearby train stations and a

Demitri Przybylinski is a 

junior on the Griffins boys 

bowling team 

How long have you 

been bowling for, 

and how did you get 

started? 

I’ve been bowling for 

about six years, six or seven 

years, and I just started 

bowling on a league for fun. 

What do you most enjoy 

about the sport? 

I like how the atmosphere 

of the alley can go from quiet 

to insane and loud within 

seconds. 

What is your biggest 

strength as a bowler? 

My consistency or being 

able to control my 

emotions. 

What does this year’s 

team do particularly 

well? 

Probably communication, 

since we’re all just a group 

of friends. 

What are you most 

looking forward to this 

season? 

Hopefully winning a couple 

of tournaments and going 

to state. 

Do you have any 

traditions before a big 

game? 

Our chant. It’s “East on 

three, one, two, three, East.” 

What advice would 

you give to someone 

learning to bowl? 

Always watch your mark 

and don’t stare at the pins. 

That’s the big mistake. 

Do you have a role 

model? 

My dad. He taught me to 

bowl. 

What are your plans for 

after high school? 

College. I’m not exactly 

sure where yet, but most 

likely bowling in college 

too. 

If you won a million 

dollars tomorrow, what 

would you do with it 

and why? 

I would probably save all 

of it and then use it to pay off 

any student loans on my end.

22nd Century Media chose the best football student-athletes based on coach recommendations 

and player statistics in its seven-town southwest suburban coverage area and placed them on 

one super team: Team 22. The team is made up of student-athletes from Lincoln-Way Central, LW

schools. This is its offensive squad.

RB: Devon Williams, junior, LW

OL: Nate Mahoney, senior, LW 

West

All-State season. 

OL: Jake Renfro, junior, Provi 

All-CCL Blue. He also took on both 

long and short snapping duties for 

the Celtics. 

OL: Drew Parrish, senior, LW 

Central 

He could play center, guard and 

tackle as needed for the Knights. 

All-SWSC.

East boys bowling falls to Central at crossover meet 

Randy Whalen, Freelance Reporter 

When the three Lincoln-Way 

boys bowling teams battled against 

each other last week, it really didn’t 

matter in the standings. 

That’s because a new rule was 

enacted that made the SouthWest 

Suburban Conference matchups 

not factor into the standings. It 

used to be that the dual meets, 

coupled with the conference tournament 

at the end of the regular 

season, determined the conference 

champion. But a recent change 

means that now only the conference 

tourney will determine the 

champion. 

The SWSC tournament will be 

hosted by Andrew and will not take 

place until Saturday, Jan. 5, at Orland 

Bowl. But if it were held last 

week, one thing would have been 

certain — at least among the Lincoln-Way 

schools, Lincoln-Way 

Central is still the top team. 

The Knights showed that last 

week with a clean dual meet sweep 

of Lincoln-Way West and Lincoln- 

Way East. The score against East 

was 1,949-1,786 on Thursday, 

Nov. 29, at Laraway Lanes in New 

Lenox. 

For East (6-4, 4-2), which had 

games of 914 and 872, junior 

Demitri Przybylinski led the way 

with a 389 (193, 196) score. Senior 

DJ Armbrecht followed with 

a 377 (196, 187). Then it was junior 

Anthony Bria bringing a 357 

(176, 181), followed by seniors 

Cole Emery with a 346 (181, 165) 

and Josh Edgin with a 327 (184, 

143). 

Despite the setback, the Griffins 

have shown promising signs this 

season. 

“We just have a lot more consistency,” 

Przybylinski said. “I’d 

say it’s going good and much 

better than last year. A year ago 

we didn’t have the communication 

on-and-off the lanes as we 

do now. 

“But I do feel we were too 

stressed [against Central]. We were 

too focused on trying to win rather 

than doing our best.” 

Still, second-year East coach 

Lincoln-Way East’s Cole Emery eyes his shot Thursday, Nov. 29, during warmups before an intradistrict 

matchup against Lincoln-Way Central at Laraway Lanes. James Sanchez/22nd Century Media 

Dan Galligan looked at it as a great 

opportunity. 

“I love it when our squad gets 

a chance to compete against Central,” 

he said. “Their success last 

year should be a huge motivator for 

us. There are a lot of good teams in 

this area, and we’re trying to build 

up our program so that we can be in 

that conversation too. Besides that, 

Coley [O’Connell] and his assistant 

Bob Clayton have been a huge 

help to me. This is my second year 

with our program, and those two 

guys have let me pick their brains 

and be a great resource. 

“[Against Central] wasn’t our 

best performance. Mentally, we 

weren’t where we needed to be. The 

good news is we’ve had some great 

performances recently that we can 

build on, and we’re going to be back 

at Laraway Lanes in a couple weeks 

for the Lincoln-Way Cup [on Saturday, 

Dec. 15] and that’s another opportunity 

to get better and compete 

against these guys.” 

East opened the week with a 

pair of dual meet wins. The first 

of those was on Monday, Nov. 26, 

where the Griffins toppled visiting 

Chicago Christian 1,880-1,589 

as Przybylinski led the way with 

a 441 series (198, 243). Then the 

next day East defeated Bradley- 

Bourbonnais 2,172-1,927 in an 

SWSC match as Armbrecht had 

a 691 (245, 256, 190) total in a 

3-game format. Both were at Thunder 

Bowl Lanes in Mokena. 

Central (6-2,4-2), which bowled 

a consistent 976 and 973, actually 

hasn’t won the SWSC title since 

going back-to-back in the 2006-07 

and 07-08 seasons. But coming off 

a third-place state finish last season, 

the Knights may have what it 

takes to pull out a league title next 

month. 

“We have three returners from 

our state roster,” Central coach 

Coley O’Connell said. “But only 

one of them, Alex Nolan, saw any 

action at state. Alex has done great 

this season. He was our leadoff 

bowler last year and is the anchor 

bowler this season. We can compete 

with the best of the teams. We 

build as the season goes on. 

“It [beating the other Lincoln- 

Way teams] is a confidence builder. 

We all know each other, so it’s 

a pride thing and definitely something 

we can build on.” 

Nolan led the way with a 471 

(256, 215) series against East. Senior 

Ryan Gamen got a 388 (200, 

188) while senior Brian Triezenberg 

tallied 364 (179, 185) and 

junior Austin Zaker zapped a 

334 total (182, 152). Tyler Misch 

(159) bowled the first game for the 

Knights, while fellow junior Tommy 

Martini (233) was in the lineup 

in the second game. 

“I’ve always wanted to lead this 

team and I love this sport,” said 

Nolan of being the leader for the 

Knights. “Being with this team 

makes me love it even more. I want 

to be the energizer. 

“This is a confidence booster. I 

was in a little slump here at Laraway 

Lanes but got out of that 

[against East]. I believe this was 

the match where we will start seeing 

the scores go higher. I can’t 

wait to see what the future holds.” 

Earlier in the week, on Tuesday, 

Nov. 27, Central toppled Lincoln- 

Way West 1,963-1,875 at Laraway 

Lanes. The Knights rolled games 

of 933 and 1,030 in the win. Zaker 

zipped an excellent 458 (222, 236) 

to lead the way. Nolan followed 

with a 422 (195, 227) and Misch 

added a 406 (166, 240). 

West, which was the visiting 

team even though the two schools 

both bowl at Laraway Lanes, shot 

games of 881 and 994. Cameron 

Jablonski led the way with a 424 

(215, 209), fellow junior Tony Paul 

popped a 394 (179, 215), and senior 

Michael Nork followed with 

a 393 (193, 200) for the Warriors, 

who entered the matchup undefeated. 

Two days later, as Central was 

toppling East on one end of the 

lanes, West rallied to defeat Thornridge 

1,867-1,862 in an SWSC 

matchup on the other end of Laraway 

Lanes. 

All three Lincoln-Way teams 

ended last week at the Oak Forest 

Boys Bengal Bowling Invite, 

on Saturday, Dec. 1, at Oak Forest 

Bowl. This Saturday, Dec. 8, 

Central is at the Tinley Park Invite, 

starting at 8 a.m. at Tinley Park 

Lanes. East and West are at Sandburg 

Invite, starting at 8 a.m. at Orland 

Park Bowl.

Frankfort Falcons win Super Bowl championships 

Nuria Mathog, Editor 

The Frankfort Falcons 

varsity and junior varsity 

teams capped successful 

2018 seasons by clinching 

River Valley Super Bowl 

championships Nov. 11 at 

the ATI Field at Joliet Memorial 

Stadium. 

The No. 2-seeded varsity 

team defeated the No. 1 

Morris Warriors 20-6 in the 

championship game, while 

the No. 1-ranked junior 

varsity team secured a 25-6 

title victory over the No. 3 

Frankfort Square Wildcats. 

Falcons varsity head coach 

Matthew Straight attributed 

the team’s success this season 

to his players’ sense of 

brotherhood and their ability 

to focus on “the momentum 

of the season itself.” 

“What was great was that 

we had some returning varsity 

players, as well as a JV 

team that was in the Super 

Bowl last year that was able 

to contribute,” he said. 

After finishing out the 

regular season with a 7-1 record, 

the varsity team entered 

the first round of the playoffs 

with a bye and went on 

to shut out the Tinley Park 

Bulldogs 28-0 on Oct. 28. In 

the Nov. 4 semifinal game the 

team clinched a second postseason 

shutout, defeating the 

Homer Stallions 31-0. 

10 members of the Falcons 

varsity team — eighth-graders 

Bradley Abbott, John 

Hackett, Ethan Jedlowski, 

Matt Kingsbury, James 

Kwiecinski, Charlie Nevinger, 

Peter Olaleye, Jake 

Scianna, Zach Welker and 

Ari Zaeske — were named 

to the All-River Valley youth 

football team, which recognizes 

outstanding varsity 

players in the youth league. 

The junior varsity team’s 

Super Bowl championship 

was a fitting finish to the 

team’s 11-0 season. Under 

the coaching of Tom Poynton, 

the team shut out the 

Manhattan Patriots 26-0 

in the Oct. 27 quarterfinal 

game before defeating the 

New Lenox Jr. Knights 13-0 

in the semifinal. 

Greg Ristich, the Falcons’ 

lightweight coach, said the 

junior varsity team’s season 

also included a Wednesday 

Night League championship. 

Straight and the rest of the 

varsity coaches — Dave Stolarek, 

Mike Wesley, Randy 

Scianna, Jim Curtin and Tom 

Wills — are hanging up their 

boots, but the junior varsity 

team’s coaching staff will 

take over the varsity team 

next year, Straight said. 

He added he anticipated 

the majority of the players 

would continue their football 

careers at Lincoln-Way East 

High School, which has recently 

seen two stellar backto-back 

seasons: an IHSA 

Class 8A championship in 

2017 and a 2018 postseason 

run culminating in a 24-16 

loss to Loyola in the Nov. 17 

state semifinal game. 

“We expect great things 

from them at the freshman 

level next year,” Straight said. 

“[Lincoln-Way East football 

Coach Rob Zvonar] has been 

a big part of the organization
