“We live by a code. The
Barre Code.”
This is part of the mantra
written on the wall inside
New Lenox’s newest fitness
studio, The Barre Code.
The rest of the motivational
code talks about striving for
beauty, believing in one’s
body and strength, accepting
differences and realizing
one’s potential to make
a difference.
The meaning behind the
mantra fosters building
strength, confidence and
body positivity within the
women who work out at the
full-body fitness studio located
on Lincoln Highway.
The Barre Code franchise
began back in 2010
in Chicago and quickly expanded
across the U.S. Its
namesake comes from an
isometric exercise called
“the barre” that allows
deep muscle stretching.
Owner of the New Lenox
location, Kim Burla,
brought the franchise to
the Lincoln-Way area to
increase accessibility.
“I’ve always had a love
for barre classes,” Burla
said. “It’s inconvenient for
many women, who like me,
had to drive long distances,
like Lombard, to get to
classes. I thought that this
was the perfect location to
follow up with my dreams
of owning one.”
What makes The Barre
Code different from their
other local competitors,
which are also located
along Lincoln Highway, is
the focus on women’s fitness
regimen. The Barre
Code offers different programs,
like cardio kickboxing,
and total body
conditioning to target key
areas of the body.
“The Village is excited
to have Barre Code join
our growing community,”
Economic Director Coordinator
Nancy Dye said.
“While we have a good
choice of fitness facilities,
Barre Code offers a unique
alternative.”
Burla said that at the end
of the day, the workouts

In the past several years New Lenox has enjoyed

New Lenox Village Board
Officials OK Silver Cross expansion, discuss I-80 bridge in Joliet
Megan Schuller
Assistant Editor
A brief Village board
meeting was held on Feb.
25 to discuss a few items
regarding an addition to
the Silver Cross Campus
and conducting a land
evaluation for the village.
A site plan for Silver
Cross’ Lot 5 was unanimously
approved. Silver
Cross plans to add to the
West campus, south of the
new Silver Oaks facility.
Assistant Village Administrator
Robin Ellis said the
41,700 square-foot building
will remain consistent
with other buildings on the
campus. It is expected to
break ground by April at
the latest.
A proposal for a land
evaluation through Edward
J. Bates and Associates
was also approved for
$10,000. The evaluation
will determine the fair
market value for an acre of
improved residential land
in the Village, according
to Ellis.
“Historically, the fair
market value increased 5
percent annually, but it has
remained at $110,000 since
May 1, 2007,” Ellis said.
“This number would then be
used by the Village in calculating
impact fees when the
taxing district does not seek
a land donation.”
Mayor Tim Baldermann
said this is the first time in
more than 20 years that a
land evaluation has been
completed for the village.
“As the board is aware,
we’ve been waiting to
have council of the whole
to discuss impact fees,”
Mayor Tim Baldermann
said. “It’s a part of the
whole equation.”
During board reports,
Trustee David Butterfield
brought up the commonly
travelled I-80 bridge over
the Des Plaines River
in Joliet. A spring 2018
bridge inspection report
labeled both the eastbound
and westbound bridges as
intolerable and a high priority
for replacement.
“There has been numerous
opportunities for this
board to change zoning
too add warehouses, where
we’ve had a lot of requests,
we don’t even entertain
it… This board as a whole
recognizes issues along
I-80, and has committed to
not add further damage to
it,” Baldermann said.
Trustee Annette Bowden
said after learning that the
bridge earned a sufficiency
rating of 6 out of 100, she
is now altering her commute
to avoid the bridge.
“I know I’m no longer
going that route,” Bowden
said. “The likelihood of
something happening is
not worth it. Everyone is
pointing their fingers at the
truck drivers... these guys
are trying to make a living,
they probably don’t want
to take that route either.”
Baldermann said temporary
fixes to the bridge are
like Band-Aids, temporary
solutions to a larger problem.
“They’re going to
spend millions of dollars
in Band-Aids rather than
fixing them,” Baldermann
said. “These roads and interstates
were built 50 to
60 years ago and were not
built to last forever.”
Bowden urged for others
take alternate route if they
have the option to.
There was no public
comment. The next Village
Board meeting will be held
on March 11.

are focused on increasing
fitness, confidence and
positive body image in
women.
“It’s about focusing on
what women have in them
and not on what weight they
have to lose,” Burla said.
While the workouts are
geared towards women,
Burla said anyone is welcome
to join since they offer
modifications for each
exercise.
“I love the positivity it
can bring to the community,”
Burla said. “The variety
is well suited for this
community to bring something
new to New Lenox.”
Besides the programming,

a variety of Free People,

her first child, she wanted
to find a workout regimen
that worked for her body
and brought her excitement
for fitness into the
forefront of her career.
“I hope that those
searching for a community
of women to be a part of,
to support each other, can
belong here,” Burla said.
To prepare for the upcoming
opening, instructors
have been undergoing
extensive corporate training
to motivate and challenge
participants.
“I can’t wait to start
teaching classes here,”
instructor Megan Christakes,
of New Lenox, said.
“I look forward to bringing

rather, their party.

sunshine into the gym at
the Lincolnway Special
Recreation Center with its
annual Jump Fest event on
Saturday, Feb. 23. With
the gym full of inflatable
bouncy castles and obstacle
courses, children of all
abilities were able to have
an afternoon of fun for a
good cause.
The event ran from
noon-4 p.m., with the first
hour specially designed
for those with disabilities.
Admission was $10 per
jumper, and the money
raised will directly benefit
the LWSRA scholarship
program.
Last year, the LWS-
RA awarded more than
$12,000 in scholarships to
local people who wanted
to participate in programming,
and the goal is to
reach even more people in
2019.
In addition to raising
money for their scholarship
fund, the LWSRA
holds community events,
like Jump Fest, to raise
something else: awareness.
Word-of-mouth exposure
and awareness from community
events is one of the
ways that the LWSRA has
grown, with its message
being that while it may not
be someone in your family,
everyone knows someone
with special needs.
“There are a lot of families
that don’t know who
we are or what we do, but
they need our help,” said
Heather Specht, superintendent
of recreation at
LWSRA. “We host these
community activities and
events because we always
have people that come out
and tell us that they didn’t
even know this place existed.
We’re able to reach
out to them about our service,
and they can go and
tell people about this great
organization.”
Since 1976, the LWSRA
has provided adaptive and
special recreational services
for individuals from
preschool age through
adulthood with disabilities.
With their social programs,
trips and athletic
programs, they’re able to
ensure that the nearly 400
individuals with disabilities
whom they serve have
an opportunity to remain
both physically and socially
active.
Christy Burkhardt, of
Mokena, brought her son
Wyatt to burn off energy
from being cooped up in
the house all winter. As a
professional who works
with students with disabilities
in Lockport,
she knows firsthand how
community events impact
those with special needs
and those without.
“Events like this give
every kid an opportunity
to get involved and have
fun,” Burkhardt said.

Frank, a Lincoln-Way
West student, these events
are personal to him, as his
younger brother has special
needs. This inspired
a passion in him to help
those with disabilities
by volunteering with the
LWSRA as much as he
can.
“I just want to do anything
to give back,” Frank
said. “These kids have
such great stories, but it
can be hard for them to
covey it and say it. I just
want to help give them a
voice.”
On April 20, LWSRA is
scheduled to be at Lincoln-

Frankfort for the annual

Cost will be $10 per

There will be an Easter

Easter Bunny, face painting,
and a pancake, egg

Tickets must be purchased
in advance and are available

New Lenox-native creates nonprofit
to help out single-parent families
Alex Ivanisevic
Assistant Editor
A New Lenox native
inspired by her decades
of community service in
Chicago has made it her
mission to give a sense of
community to struggling
individuals and singleparent
households in Will
County.
Director of the nonprofit
organization Ten
Thousand Girlfriends
and the online magazine
Rise, Alexis Leslie, now
of Lockport, has created
a platform that provides
information for single parents
in hopes it will help
them move forward, gain
stability and make positive
changes in their lives.
The nonprofit, which
Leslie refers to as the
“third act” of her life, was
inspired partly by a childhood
experience she had
when her mother became
ill and was hospitalized.
Mothers who lived in the
neighborhood each helped
take care of Leslie and
her two younger sisters
while their father was at
work.
A question that has
come to Leslie’s mind is,
“How do you help somebody
who, when she got
married, she didn’t think
she was going to end
up being the sole supporter?”
She would like
to do her part in guiding
individuals who might
be struggling as a single
parent.
Through outreach and
making connections with
shelters and organizations,
Leslie hopes to broaden
the resources she has available
on the magazine’s
website and increase funds
donated to Ten Thousand
Alexis Leslie, a New Lenox native, works at her home.

thing that got my mom
through the day was her

so I definitely relate to that
aspect of the nonprofit’s

website content such as
an informational videos to
spread the word about Ten
Thousand Girlfriends.
On a basic level, Ten
Thousand Girlfriends is a
support system of women
helping each other, and the
organization is trying to
integrate different resources
for women to get jobs
and make changes in their
lives, Samoska said.
“We also want to create
a community for moms to
come together, especially
for those going through
hardships,” she said. “It’s
been rewarding to be a part
of so far.”
“The way I conceptualized
what this organization
would be, we would partner
with other nonprofit
organizations like shelters
and social service agencies
because most of the
families there are headed
by a single parent, most of
which are single moms,”
Leslie said. “I want to
partner with them to determine
how can we best help
the moms that they are
serving.”
Leslie wants to know
where the “gaps” are in
their services and what
can be done to fill those
gaps. One of her ideas
is to assist parents who
move out of shelters by
helping provide them
with the supplies they will
need in their next living
situation.
The ways in which
she’d like to help are by
having readily available
information about training
programs that can make
it easier for parents to get
better-paying jobs. Among
other things, she hopes
one day it would become
a realistic venture to raise
money for individuals in
dire need of financial support.
“The idea behind Rise
magazine is that you are
rising up to something
and we are empowering
women who rise up
to be better,” Samoska
said.
Topics in posts on the
online magazine range
from finding jobs in the
tech industry to going back
to school and dealing with
abuse.
What Leslie said she
needs is for more people to
talk to about the problems
needing to be addressed
and more people willing to
work at making a change,
so that is what she hopes to
do going forward.
“I’m interested in how
we can help single moms
not just maintain, not fall
further back, but move
forward and not be working
and in poverty,” Leslie
said.

Police Reports
Two vehicles stolen on Gannet Lane on same night
Vehicles parked at separate
homes on the 2800
block of Gannet Lane reportedly
were stolen Feb.
22 overnight.
Police said one of the
vehicles was stolen because
doors were unlocked
and the key was left inside.
The car reportedly was later
recovered unoccupied in
Calumet City.
For the other vehicle
that was stolen, police
said an unknown person
entered an unlocked car
on the driveway, which
had a garage opener in
it. The unknown person
reportedly opened the garage
door and entered a
separate unlocked vehicle
inside the garage, which
had the keys left inside of
it, and drove off with it.
While police was investigating
the two stolen vehicle
incidents on Gannet
Lane, residents reportedly
led them to an unattended
duffle bag. Police said
they discovered the bag
belonged to a homeowner
on Spinnaker Drive, and
the homeowner told them
it was stolen from his
home the same night of
the vehicle thefts.
Feb. 25
• A computer bag reportedly
was stolen from a vehicle
parked at LA Fitness,
on the 2400 block of East
Lincoln Highway. An unknown
person reportedly
broke the passenger window
to take the computer
bag that was in plain view
from outside the vehicle.
Feb. 23
• An unknown person
reportedly broke into a
model home. Police said
nothing was missing at the
time of the report.
• Joseph J. Marlowe, 21,
of 725 Lake St. in New

when police reportedly
discovered Marlowe at the
Plank Trail parking lot.
Police said they saw the
driver’s side of a vehicle
open and Marlowe hanging
out of the side. Police
added when they went
on to check on Marlowe,
they discovered he was
in possession of cannabis
and drug paraphernalia.
He was also allegedly in
possession of Adderall,

Standout Student
Sponsored by Marquette Bank
Kyle Gray, Lincoln-
Way West senior
Kyle Gray was picked
as this week’s Standout
Student because of his
academic performance.
What is one essential you
must have when studying?
One essential that I
must have while studying
is music. Music helps me
to focus and I enjoy doing
homework and studying a
lot more. It is a good motivational
tool and listening
to music that gets you in the
zone helps with every form
of work.
What do you like to do
when not in school or
studying?
I enjoy playing video
games, hanging out with
my friends and working
out. Unfortunately, I do not
have much free time, so
these things don’t come often.
I also participate in the
Theatre Company productions
at West. I enjoy these
activities because they are
a great way to forget about
the chaos of life and focus
on yourself and others.
What is your dream job?
My dream job is to be a
professional actor. I have
always loved acting here
at West and would love to
continue to do it. If I could
have the ability to be successful
in this career route,
I would take it in a heartbeat.
Being able to impersonate
a character other
than yourself is an exciting
journey to take.
What is one thing people
don’t know about you?
One thing people don’t
know about me is that I
have a cat named Purry.
Usually people think I have
a dog, and they’re surprised
when I tell them I have a
cat instead. He is pretty
friendly and sleeps most of
the day.
Whom do you look up to?
I look up to Ms. Marta,
my theater director. Over
the years, I have participated
in the Theatre Company
here at West and I’ve been
able to work with and learn
so much from her. She’s an
amazing person who truly
prepares you for the future
and teaches the importance
of character. She is definitely
someone I will miss
so much when I graduate.
Lincoln-Way West is lucky
to have her for the Theatre
Company.
Who’s your favorite
teacher?
Mr. Render. I have taken
three classes of his during
high school and have loved
each so much. His passion
for history makes class so
exciting, and he can easily
relate to us as a class. He
allows us to take control of
class sometimes with discussions,
in which he participates,
as well. He is also
famous for putting threeto-four
words on a Powerpoint
slide and making it
into a ten minute lecture off
the top of his head.
What’s your favorite class?
Chemistry. Chemistry
is a fully hands-on experience.
Experimenting in
so many labs and working
with matter around us
is so interesting and fun
to work with. I took Honors
Chemistry with Mrs.
Liddle sophomore year and
had a fantastic time. I am
currently in AP Chemistry
with Mrs. Laack, and I look
forward to it every day.
If you could change one
Photo Submitted
thing about school what
would it be?
One thing I would
change is starting school
later. I already take Zero
Hour, which is extremely
early, but also the regular
start time is fairly early, as
well. With so much going
on in life, many don’t get
enough sleep and starting
school that early is not
productive. Starting school
later would enable more
healthy and productive lifestyles
with increased efficiency
throughout the day.
What’s an extracurricular
you wish your school had?
In Mr. Render’s classes,
he would always tell us
about his famous barbecue
recipes and the annual sausage
cookout. It would be
amazing to have a barbecue
club where students can
learn more about outdoor
cooking styles and recipes.
What’s your favorite
memory from school?
My best memory from
school was acting in my
junior year fall play, “Leaving
Iowa”. I played the
dad in the show, and I had
such a good time. Along
with Abigail Sutter, Jessa
Simon and Stefanos Karnezis,
I looked forward to
rehearsals and spending
time with my lead actors.
We had such a family-like
bond that I will never forget
about.

feature for The New Lenox
Patriot. Nominations come

FROM THE TINLEY JUNCTION
Coffee with a Cop returns
for busiest year yet
The Tinley Park Police
Department has geared up
for its busiest year of Coffee
with a Cop. Now in the
program’s third year, Coffee
with a Cop is returning
with eight different dates
throughout the year to give
citizens more opportunities
to meet police officers
and speak about issues or
concerns in their neighborhood.
On Feb. 26, the first Coffee
with a Cop of the year
was held at Creative Cakes
in Tinley Park. Cmdr. Stan
Tencza and Civilian Crime
Prevention Officer Dina
Navas worked together
to schedule the dates and
locations that run once a
month through September.
“It gives us a way to
communicate with citizens
of Tinley Park,” Tencza
said. “They see us in a different
light — one that’s
more approachable.”
Officer Jon Mittelman
is participating in his second
year of the program
and said he likes to answer
people’s questions and
hear their feedback.
“When we have interactions
with the public, often
it’s not under the greatest
circumstances — emergencies,
ticketing, law
enforcement-type things
— so this gives us an opportunity
to just field questions
and get to know people
and they can express
their concerns in a stressfree
environment and no
worries,” Mittelman said.
“It’s been good. We’ve
done it several times, and
it’s just good to hear from
people.”

FROM THE LOCKPORT LEGEND
LTHS Danceworks 2019
showcases beauty,
movement
Without ever speaking
a word, the members of
Lockport Township High
School’s Orchesis Club
weaved together compelling
stories and complex
emotions told through
original choreography during
Danceworks 2019.
Held the evenings of
Feb. 27 and 28 at Lockport
Township’s East Campus
Auditorium, the program
featured more than 60 students
performing ballet,
jazz, hip-hop and more
styles of dance. Along
with creating their own
choreography, dance leaders
selected members of
their segments, designed
costumes and chose their
own music.
Sophomore choreographer
Trinity Newell was
inspired by sounds as well
as steps in creating her tap
piece, “Backstabbers.”
“I’ve been tap dancing
since I was 5,” Newell
said. “I like it because you
can hear the sounds, and
you know what’s right and
what’s wrong by the way it
sounds when you dance.”
Family and friendship
converged in the piece created
by Rawydah Abulaban
as she and her dancers,
including Narmeen Shehadi
and Asim Abdallah
shared a traditional Palestinian
Dabke.
“Since I was young, every
time we’d go to a party,
I’d be the one to start
dancing and lead lines,”
Abulaban said of Dabke.
“It’s something that me
and my family always do
at parties.”

FROM THE FRANKFORT STATION
Prestwick Country Club to
expand caddie program
Frankfort’s Prestwick
Country Club is seeking
area teens for its growing
caddying program — with
the potential for additional
professional opportunities
down the line.
Jake Smith, first assistant
golf professional at
Prestwick, said approximately
70 caddies currently
participate in the program
on a regular basis,
and no prior experience
is required. The club is
looking to add another 60
members to the program.
“As a caddie, they carry
the members’ golf clubs,
but they’re not limited to
that duty ... They run with
the golf club, run with the
members and they gain
a lot of knowledge,” he
said. “The biggest thing
for these kids, when they
come here to Prestwick
Country Club, is they’re
building relationships.
They’re networking from
the get-go.”
In addition to obtaining
internships, jobs and
other career opportunities
through the connections
they form on the course,
several members have
gone on to receive full
tuition and housing scholarships
from the Evans
Scholars Foundation.
An orientation for interested
participants is
scheduled for 1-2:30 p.m.
Sunday, March 10, at
Prestwick Country Club,
601 Prestwick Drive. The
program is open to boys
and girls who are at least
13 years old.

Mokena-Marley FISH
Resale Shop closes doors
Metal screeched as
Magda Duszka thumbed
through a clothes rack
Thursday, Feb. 28, pushing
the hangers aside during
the last weekend Mokena-Marley
FISH Resale
Shop was open. She has
been shopping at the resale
shop for 15 years, after she
became pregnant with her
son, and had been coming
back ever since. Until now.
“It’s sad, because this
place has gotten me
through all the ages and
stages,” Duszka said.
“This has been a blessing
for my family.”
The volunteer-based resale
shop closed its doors
on Saturday, March 2. It
has been around since the
1980s. It began out of St.
John’s United Church of
Christ and eventually expanded
into a strip mall
along LaGrange Road.
The money made from
the store went toward the
Will County Crisis Line to
help financially struggling
Frankfort Township residents.
“I started volunteering
here because I wanted to
benefit the community,”
said volunteer Pat Jones,
of Orland Park. “I am a
person who enjoys working
with people and the camaraderie
between volunteers.
People would drop
off clothes and volunteer
here because they knew
that it was going back into
the community.”
Secretary of FISH’s
Board of Directors Barb
Cottingham said that even
though the store is closing,
the FISH organization will
continue to assist the community.
“The store was just a
visible image of what
FISH was and stood for,”
Cottingham said. “There
will no longer be a visible
sign in the community, but
we will still be there.”

FROM THE HOMER HORIZON
Ice climber embraces frigid
cold for daring adventures
While most dread low
temperatures, one local
ice climber embraces the
frigid cold.
“I apologize to people,
because it is exactly what
I prayed for, for the polar
vortex to return,” Homer
Glen resident Dave Everson
said. “People think I’m
wacky, unless they are the
ones I go climbing with.”
Everson has been rock
climbing for more than
30 years, with 20 years of
experience ice climbing.
During the recent polar
vortex, he was outside,
further pursuing his passion.
“What that type of
weather does is, well out at
Starved Rock State Park,
the closest place we climb,
when we have snow followed
by a deep freeze like
we’ve had, all that snow
eventually comes down
over those waterfalls,” he
said. “People don’t realize
what’s out there in the
winter — seven-story waterfalls
that freeze up. The
extreme weather makes
that happens.”
Everson said he is able to
go back to the same waterfalls
week after week, and
they change form when
rain and snow refreeze.
Everson added compared
to crowds one might see
rock climbing, ice climbing
provides a “unique and
smaller group.”
“It’s just really an incredible
feeling to stand
on the summit of a mountain
or stand on the top of a
60-story waterfall that you
really weren’t sure if you
could do it, but you did,”
he said.

Try something new this spring
James Sanchez
james@newlenoxpatriot.com
March is underway,
and there’s
a new slate of
spring sports taking place.
There were a few spring
sports I was unfamiliar
with when it came to
reporting. One was water
polo, but when I covered
it for the first time, it
became one of my favorite
sports to cover. For me,
not only does it look
fun, but I appreciate the
skills that go into it. You
need strong legs to play.
It’s already hard enough
to stay afloat for a long
period of time as is, but
to do that while guarding
someone, or racing an opponent
to a free ball, make
it much more difficult. It
also helps having great
programs in the area to
make reporting fun.
I was there at Stevenson
High School for the
state tournament in 2016
when Lincoln-Way North
girls and Lincoln-Way
East boys both made it. I
made it out the following
year when the Lincoln-
Way Central girls team
made it in 2017. And I
had the pleasure last year
to report on Lincoln-
Way West girls and boys
when both programs had
record-breaking years.
Now I look forward to
following area water polo
every year, but this never
would be the case for me
if I wasn’t up for trying
something new.
Two springs ago was
when I picked up a new
hobby: disc golf. This
might be an activity I’ll
play for the rest of my
life. It’s cheap. Courses
are free to play on, and
you could go to any used
sporting goods store and
buy discs for $5-$7 each.
It’s challenging because
it’s like golf, where you
have to navigate the disc
hundreds of feet through
obstacles towards the
hole, and it’s good exercise
walking up and down
the course. I’ve always
played courses in Mokena,
Manhattan and Lockport.
And I started playing at
Haines Wayside Park last
summer. For it to only
have nine baskets, the
course layout still offers
variety, with blind shots,
some holes in wooded areas,
and other open holes
where you could bomb a
disc as far as you can.
So as the weather
warms up, and we no longer
are stuck inside, take
the time to find new things
to do. Who knows, one of
them could be something
that will stick with you for
the rest of your life, as it
did for me.
Kevin Molloy posted this on the What’s
Happenin’ New Lenox Facebook Page on
Feb. 25:
Mark February 25, 2019 as a win. There

Poetry Corner
Petition
Julie Sanders
New Lenox resident
Open his eyes that he
will see
Truth absorb error efficiently
Break down his strongholds
Call him to the sheepfold
May the Holy Spirit lead.
Gospel words linger at
his ears
Weighing truth, with
what he hears
Conviction comes into
the soul
Sin revealed in every role
Truth astounding
wrapped in fear.
Now sees himself as
wretched and lost
All self effort and pride
exhaust
Point to Jesus as the way
Upon his knees have him
pray
Forgiveness for sin’s debt
cost.
From the beginning was
God’s plan
To send Jesus Christ, Son
of Man
Perfect, sinless, the great
“I AM”
God’s chosen sacrificial
Lamb
A substitute to redeem
man.
Marks of depravity, a
ravaged soul
Please come O’Lord,
make him whole
May he plead, “cleanse
me today
Salvation come, to this
weary stray
May it be well with God
and my soul.”

Children, community come together for D122 PTO’s Fun Fair
Laurie Fanelli
Freelance Reporter
By early March, many
families begin experiencing
cabin fever.
The New Lenox D122
PTO presented the perfect
cure for children climbing
up the walls and parents
suffering from the
winter blues during its
17th annual Fun Fair. Inflatables,
carnival games
and many more activities
gave attendees a chance
to release energy and have
fun at the event on Saturday,
March 2, which took
over Liberty Junior High
School.
Along with classic attractions,
this year's festivities
included several
new activities such as
laser tag, virtual reality
gaming and a vendor fair.
The redemption center –
which previously could be
found in the middle of the
gaming area – was eliminated
in 2019 in favor of
handing out prizes at each
game or station.
The proceeds from the
Fun Fair will go back to
District 122 schools, explained
PTO Vice President,
Tina Bauman.
“All the money we
raise, we distribute back
to our 12 schools in the
district,” she said. “We
usually raise between four
or five thousand dollars
and we will divide that
back to the schools. The
schools put on assemblies,
buy iPads or playground
equipment. Whatever
they can't get brought in
through the school district
themselves, they use our
funds for that.”
Christine Evans –
whose children attend
Cherry Hill and Spencer
Point – was selling handcrafted
knit accessories at
the Fun Fair's inaugural
vendor event.
“I did the PTO's other
craft event and they
invited me back,” Evans
said. “I always love
to come out and support
the school district so it
was an easy decision to
get involved.”
New Lenox resident
and Oster-Oakview teacher,
Nikki Lane attends the
Fun Fair annually with her
kids Molly, 11, and Chaz,
4.
“The kids have a great
time and we like giving
back to the PTO,” Nikki
said.
Chaz Lane, a Cherry
Hill student, was most
looking forward to having
fun in the jumpies while
Molly Lane, who attends
Bentley, was eager to play
a few games.
“I love that this is a way
to get energy out in the
winter. It's so cold outside
you don't want to go out.
Here you can run around
and jump around,” Molly
said.
Nine-year-old Lexie
Hassel, a third grader at
Tyler School, was excited
to try the new virtual reality
game at this year's Fun
Fair.
“I've never done it before
and it sounds really
fun,” said Hassel.
Several community
groups including The
Bulldogs, New Lenox
Public Library, New
Lenox Community Park
District and Girl Scout
Troop 75133 joined in on
the fun hosting booths as
did Nothing Bundt Cakes,
Raffy's Candy Store,
TCBY and more. As in
previous years, the New
Lenox Police Department
provided young attendees
with free identification
cards.
Police Cadet Brooklyn
Skrezyna, explained that
the child identification
cards are a great tool for
reuniting parents with
their kids should they
get separated at a public
event.
“It's good for safety,”
Skrezyna said. “You never
know what could happen
and it's great to have that
card ready for them.”
Volunteers from the
Community Emergency
Response Team were also
on hand joined by Buddy,
a comfort dog who's the
group's mascot.
Bauman has been a
member of the PTO since
the Fun Fair began 17
years ago. She recommends
any interested parent
to get involved with
the group not only to help
the community, but also to
enjoy a sense of camaraderie.
“It really gives you an
opportunity to get into
the school and help raise
money for funds for your
kids,” Bauman said “This
is the district we live in
so I would really encourage
any parent to get involved.
You don't have
to put in any set amount
of time. If you have an
hour a week to give to the
PTO then give an hour a
week. It's a great opportunity
and you meet so
many great people. Over
my 17 years, I've met so
many great people that
have become really great
friends.”

Dozens participate in Paint Night to support Trinity Services
Laurie Fanelli
Freelance Reporter
Over the years, the Roxy
Theater in Lockport has
played host to films, musical
performances, comedy
shows and more. On
Thursday, Feb. 28, almost
50 participants came together
at Trinity Services’
Paint Night program to
develop their very own
works of art inside the historic
venue.
The evening’s participants
were divided into two
groups to recreate a pair of
paintings – a longing landscape
featuring a woman in
white or a silhouetted scene
depicting a gorgeous night
sky – the former led by
instructor Monica Adamo
and the latter by instructor
Jen Klouse. Both artists
provided step-by-step
instructions on their individual
pieces, which captured
the theme “Coming
Home,” while also encouraging
Paint Night attendees
to put their own spin on the
motifs.
“The one thing I’m really
passionate about with
art is that you can make it
your own,” Klouse said.
“So one picture is going to
look totally different compared
to the person next to
them and compared to the
person next to them. We
want everyone to walk out
with something that they
enjoy and that they’re happy
with.”
“I’m excited to see
where people are going to
take it,” Adamo added.
Crest Hill resident Lupe
Relles has the heart of an
artist and she signed up
for the event to learn a few
techniques to support her
passion for painting.
“I love art,” Relles said.
“I like playing around with
it. They said you need
no skills to sign up, so I

Money raised will benefit Trinity Services’ programs.

Feb. 28, during Trinity Services’ Paint Night event hosted at the Roxy Theater in
Lockport. Photos by Laurie Fanelli/22nd Century Media
thought I would come out
and see.”
While Relles was working
on Adamo’s daytime
“Coming Home” piece in
the bar area of the Roxy,
New Lenox resident Jody
Indovina — joined by her
husband Carl Indovina, a
Trinity staff member —
was in the adjoining room
working on her interpretation
of Klouse’s nighttime
painting.
“I can’t even draw a
stick figure,” Jody Indovina
joked. “I’ve always
wanted to try a Paint Night
and, since this was with
Trinity, I thought it was a
perfect time to do it.”
All proceeds from the
event are to go toward Trinity
Services to help fund its
mission, according to Meredith
Dobes, communication
and media development
representative at the
non-profit organization.
“We did get a lot of interest
from the community for
this program, and it’s really
meant to encourage people
to learn more about Trinity
and support Trinity and
what we do,” Dobes said.
Sherry Ladislas, director
of development at Trinity
Services, stated that even
if Paint Night attendees
themselves are not in need
of Trinity’s resources, perhaps
they know someone
who is.
“We provide residential
services and community
based day program services,”
said Ladislas, noting
that Trinity also offers
a number of programs for
the community at large for
everything from grief to
anger management. “We
also have employment
services for people with
disabilities and mental illness,
as well. We still have
a school program as we
originally started out as a
school in 1950.”
Some attendees signed
up to create a work of art,
some to spend a fun night
out with friends and others
were driven to participate
simply to support Trinity
Services.
“I’m here because it
supports Trinity,” said
New Lenox resident Erin
Malinowski, who was a
mom of former Trinity
participants and is now a
current employee of the
organization. “They always
put the person who
is receiving services first.
It doesn’t matter how inconvenient
it is for staff.
If it’s something that benefits
that person’s life or
helps that person get a job
or whatever it is they’re
working on, that is Trinity’s
first priority. It’s such
a good organization.”
Along with a calendar
full of events and programs
for Trinity participants, the
non-profit is also hosting
a slew of activities for the
public. It’s Golf Classic
will be held in Tinley Park
on May 16 and the group
will be returning to the
Roxy Theater on April 6

Introducing the Dunree II: Crana Homes’ Newest Luxury Townhome
Design at Brookside Meadows
Crana Homes, the acclaimed developer
of hundreds of homes in the southwest
suburbs has introduced another awardwinning
luxury townhome design, the
Dunree II, available now at Brookside
Meadows in Tinley Park. The Dunree II
joins the award-winning Lennan II and
Fahan II in a secluded area of trees, lakes
and open spaces. Prices range from the
upper-$200s – including site – and with
only a limited number of sites
available buyers should act quickly.
For 45 years Crana Homes commitment
to complete customer satisfaction
has been summed up as “Pride of
Workmanship - Pride of Ownership.”
This commitment to quality and
satisfaction makes Brookside Meadows
the ‘best of the best’. The proof is in the
homes which are attractive, comfortable,
well-built and energy-efficient. But, the
entire community will soon be
sold out so now is the time to make a
commitment and select a home from
one of the award-winning floorplans of
the Dunree II, the Fahan II and the
Lennan II.
The new Dunree II is a generous three
bedroom design with 3,194 square feet
of total living space, including a large
1,226 sq.’ basement. The master suite is
on the first floor which features a walk-in
shower and seat. The home has elegant
nine foot tall first floor ceilings, two and
a half baths, upgraded custom maple
kitchen cabinets, granite countertops,
upgraded light fixtures, and hardwood
oak floors in the foyer, powder room,
kitchen and living room. The Dunree
II also includes deluxe landscaping
and a two and a half car dry-walled
garage with a cement driveway. Enjoy
entertaining guests with a full walk out
basement and a 12’ x 12’ deck.
The Fahan II has a grand two-story
entrance foyer that leads to a split level
floor plan with three bedrooms (fourth
bedroom optional) and two and a half
baths. It is a beautiful 3,303 total square
foot luxury townhome (including a
1,216 sq.’ basement). A large open space
kitchen with sleek granite countertops is
surrounded by generous custom maple
cabinets. The 1st floor master bedroom
offers an optional coffered ceiling and
the optional master bath includes a
relaxing soaker tub. Overlooking the
great room is an elegant loft. The home
is accented by beautiful oak throughout,
including doors, floors, railings and trim.
A full lookout basement and a patio are
also included in the Fahan II.
The Lennan II is a comfortable two/
three bedroom split level home and
includes most of the features of the
Fahan II except the master suite is on the
upper level and the Lennan II features a
dining/family room. It has 3,167 square
feet of total space (including a 1,049 sq.’
basement).
All homes have underground utilities,
deluxe landscaping and first floor
laundry rooms. Buyers can select options
like an impressive fireplace, walkout
basement, coffered ceilings, skylights and
a soaker tub in the master bath.
Lake Michigan water, a sprinkler system
and smoke detectors are provided.
Brookside Meadows also has important
cost-efficient, energy-saving features
like a high-efficiency furnace and
Lo-E glass installed throughout. Other
‘green’ features include an Energy
Miser hot water heater, vented soffits,
1.75” insulated entrance doors, energy
efficient appliances and Tuff-R insulated
wall sheathing.

Park, Brookside Meadows is close to

in the state and Tinley Park, named

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.
Distinctive Home Builders
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,
Distinctive Home Builders
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,
Distinctive Home Builders
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.
Distinctive Home Builders
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
Interstate 57 and Illinois Route
50 provide easy access to I-80
and commuters enjoy several
nearby train stations and a
35-minute drive to Chicago.

Athlete of the Week
10 Questions
Athlete of the Month
Another LW East swimmer claims the crown
Bill Jones, Managing Editor
with Katelyn Edmier
Katelyn Edmier is on
the Lincoln-Way Central
dance team.
How did you get into
dance?
I got into dance when I
was 3 years old because
my mom noticed I had
a passion for it, and she
signed me up.
What’s the biggest
lesson you’ve learned
from coach Alina
Geary?
The biggest lesson I’ve
learned from my coach is
if you put your mind to it
and work as hard as you
can it will pay off in the
end.
Do you have a pre
dance routine or
superstition?
Every time I get ready to
dance at competitions, I go
over the dance in my head
and shake the nerves off.
What’s your favorite
song to dance to?
I love dancing to the
song, “I wanna dance with
somebody” [by Whitney
Houston] because it
makes me happy and want
to get up and dance.
If you weren’t on
the dance team what
would you be doing?
If I weren’t on this dance
team I would be bored out
of my mind because this
team is the best. Dance
keeps me busy, and it’s
a way to have fun and be
with my friends.
What’s your greatest
memory on the dance
team?
My greatest memory in
dance is when we came off
the floor as a team knowing
we did our dance better
than we have ever done.
If you could be someone
else for a day, who
would you be?
If I could be someone
else for the day, I would be
Jack-Jack from the movie
“Incredibles” because he
has the coolest super powers
ever.
If calories never
Photo Submitted
existed, what would
be your ideal postcompetition
meal?
If calories never existed,
I would eat lasagna and a
hot fudge sundae after a
competition.
What style of dance
would you like to
learn?
I would want to dance to
lyrical because it’s so moving
and pretty to watch.
Do you have a spirit
animal?
My spirit animal is a dog
because they are loving
and smart.

Lockport tabs local, former Lincoln-Way North coach to lead program
Czart recently
served as an
assistant coach for
Lincoln-Way West
Randy Whalen
Freelance Reporter
George Czart is old
school.
How old school?
“I’ve never owned a cell
phone; I’m probably one of
the few,” Czart said. “I’m
definitely old school.”
The New Lenox resident
will now be bringing
his old-school attitude to
LTHS as he has been chosen
as the new head football
coach at Lockport,
pending school board approval
this past Monday
night, Feb. 25.
Czart, the former coach
at Lincoln-Way North, is to
replace Dan Starkey, who
was let go on Jan. 25, following
an 0-9 season this
past fall.
“I thought I’d get another
opportunity,” Czart said
of being a head coach. “It
was just a matter of when
and where. It happened
pretty quick. I was kind
of surprised it [opening]
happened, but when it did,
I knew I’d be interested.
This came along, and I’m
very excited.”
No stranger to Lockport,
Czart was the defensive coordinator
for the Porters for
13 seasons, starting in the
fall of 1994. Before that,
he was a defensive coach
at Providence and was part
of the coaching staff when
the Celtics captured the
1991 Class 4A state championship.
Most recently, he
was an assistant coach for
Lincoln-Way West.
“I met Bret Kooi at Providence
and forged a friendship
with him,” Czart said.
“When he came over to
Lockport, he hired me on,
too.”
As the defensive coordinator
at Lockport, Czart
helped the Porters reach
new heights. In that 13-year
span, they made the playoffs
eight times and netted
13 postseason victories.
Most of those wins came in
the back-to-back Class 8A
state championship years
of 2002 and 2003.
“Absolutely,” Czart said
of wanting to return the
program to the prominence
it had in the early part of
last decade. “The goal is to
get back there.”
Lockport Township Athletic
Director Mike Dwyer
sees him as the person who
can do just that.
“Lockport is extremely
excited to bring George
Czart back,” Dwyer said.
“We had some excellent
candidates for the position
and George, of course, was
one of them. His passion
for Lockport, as well as the
connection he has with the
community and the history
of Lockport football, are
excellent qualities, but his
overall ability to connect
with staff, student-athletes
and his leadership really
shined through the process.
“His experience as a coordinator
and successful head
coach will blend extremely
well with our current core
of coaches. George will
challenge and elevate our
staff and student-athletes to
achieve success on and off
the field.”
What set Czart apart as
a candidate was his wellrounded
skills as a leader.
“George brings not only
an excellent sense of X’s
and O’s to Lockport, but
a fire to lead those around
him towards experiences
that will contribute to being
great people of character.
We are not only welcoming
an excellent football coach
and a great person, but
Lockport will also benefit
from adding a tremendous
teacher in the classroom, as
well.”
When Lincoln-Way
North opened, Czart was
hired as the head coach
at the Frankfort school.
The Phoenix went 0-9 in
their first season of 2008.
But the team went 54-20
with six playoff berths in
the next seven seasons,
all of them winning ones,
including five playoff victories.
They started 11-0
in their final season in the
fall of 2015 before losing
in the quarterfinals for
the second time in three
years.
When North closed in the
spring of 2016, Czart went
to Lincoln-Way West and
was the inside linebackers
coach there the past three
seasons. A math teacher for
the past 31 years, he is now
heading back to Lockport,
where he plans to finish
his teaching and coaching
career.
“I’m pretty familiar with
the place,” Czart said of
Lockport. “I was sad to
leave Lockport but had
the head coaching opportunity.
Now I will feel bad
to leave Lincoln-Way, but
I’m very happy to be back
here.”
A 1981 graduate of
Bolingbrook, Czart played
three years of varsity football
for coach Phil Acton
and the Raiders, doubling
at linebacker and running
back. There, he got his first
taste of Porter football by
playing against them.
“We played in the old
Illini 8 Conference with
Joliet Catholic and Marian
Catholic,” Czart said.
“But Lockport was always
the most physical team we
went up against.”
Between 1960-2010,
Lockport only had two
head football coaches.
Bill Zimmer, who went
164-143-5 in 34 seasons
between 1960-1993, and
Kooi, who went 105-69,
including winning backto-back
Class 8A state
championships in 2002 and
2003, in the 17 seasons between
1994-2010.
Don McKillip (11-18
between 2011-2013) and
Starkey (15-31 between
2014-2018) followed with
one playoff appearance between
them. So, Czart will
be the third coach in a decade,
but he plans on sticking
around for a while.
“I’m 56 years young,”
Czart said. “I’m going to
start right away in defining
the staff and the strengths
of the team. I want to
evaluate the talent, see the
team’s skillsets and will be
looking at a lot of film.”
In the end, he wants to

see a return to glory for the
Porters.
“Those days were special,
everything was special,”
Czart said of the program’s
three-year period
of a 34-4 record between
2002-2004. “I’ve been
coaching for 32 years, and
those seasons were special
because of how they ended.
There were struggles along
the way, but the toughness
of our training paid off.”

Celtics battle until the end, lose on layup in waning seconds
RANDY WHALEN
Freelance Reporter
Playing in his final high
school basketball game
on his home court, Providence
senior Adam Taylor
summed it up best.
"Those are the moments
you live for," Taylor said.
"The place is going nuts,
all our fans, everything.
You've got the ball in your
hands. It’s time to make a
play."
Taylor did his part, pouring
in 14 of his 18 points in
the second half, including a
huge-3-pointer in the final
seconds. He added seven
rebounds. Fellow forward,
junior Luke Pell, finished
with a game-high and
career-high 26 points. But
in the end, it wasn't quite
enough.
Tyrice Rogers scored on
a driving layup with three
seconds to play and that
stood up for the game-winning
score as Rich Central
edged the Celtics 70-69
on Friday, March 1, in the
championship game of the
Class 3A Providence Regional.
It was the second regional
title for the No. 3
seeded Olympians (14-12)
in the past three years but
only their second since
2004. It was their 15th regional
title overall, however.
Rich Central faced
Ottawa Township (25-4),
a 47-42 winner over host
Sandwich (21-10) last Friday,
on Tuesday, March 5
in the first semifinal of the
Rich South Sectional.
The loss ended a weeklong
run for the Celtics
(12-20), who was the No.
8 seed in the subsectional.
Providence has 14 regional
titles in its history, the last
in 2015.
"That defines our whole
season and what we are all
about," Providence coach
Kyle Murphy, of New
Lenox, said of the game.
"Our guys just put their
heads down, went forward
and battled. That's a credit
to our kids."
In a game full of wild
swings it looked for a moment
like Providence might
have the final swing. The
Olympians had a trio of
11-point leads in the first
1:20 of the fourth quarter.
They still led 63-53 on an
old-fashioned 3-point play
by senior swing player
Chance Love (team-high
19 points) with 4:08 to play
in the game.
But the Celtics answered
with an 8-1 spurt over a
2-minute span to close
within 64-61 with 1:59 remaining.
Rich Central led
68-63 on a layup by senior
guard Bryonte Washington
(12 points) with exactly
one minute left and the real
craziness began. Washington
missed a 3-point play
opportunity by missing his
free throw following the
basket.
Taylor tallied one free
throw with 44.7 seconds
left and the Olympians
missed a pair from the line
six seconds later. That allowed
Providence to work
the ball around and sure
enough, Taylor had the
ball in his hands an made a
3-pointer with 17 seconds
remaining to cut the deficit
to 68-67.
Trying for a baseball
pass, Rich Central threw
the ball away. In the process
of looking for an opening,
Celtic senior guard
Matt DiNardi (9 points)
was fouled away from the
basket. He calmly stepped
to the line and hit a pair of
free throws and Providence
had its first lead since the
opening minutes of the second
quarter.
"Matt's a three-year varsity
player and a leader,"
Murphy said. "He stepped
up and hit nothing but net
on both."
There was, however,
9.4 seconds left when Di-
Nardi hit the free throws.
The Olympians inbounded
the ball by rolling it in and
Rogers, who scored all 16
of his points in the second
half, picked it up as he was
heading toward halfcourt.
He never stopped and took
it right to the hoop. His
layup from the right side
went off the board and proceeded
to bounce on the
back of the rim five times
before falling through.
That came with three
seconds to play. But out of
time outs, the Celtics barely
were able to inbound the
ball and a 65-foot heave
was well short at the buzzer.
That sent the Olympians
into a celebration with their
fans as Providence pondered
what nearly was.
"They made a great play
on our scramble defense,"
Murphy said of the gamewinner.
"We’re trying our
best to guard. They’re
quick and they're strong.
They’re a good basketball
team."
Pell was the hot hand for
much of the game, scoring
16 of his points in the second
half. But he fouled out
with 2:39 left in the game.
"When I fouled out it
meant the world to be
picked up by these guys,"
Pell said. "They picked up
where we left off and I can't
give them enough credit. I
have to give it up for the
seniors, they played their
hearts out for us.
"I was lucky enough to
get the hot hand. Next year
we want to do even better
Matt DiNardi was the leader of the Celtics the past two seasons. He finished his final
high school game with 9 points. PHOTOS BY BURNS PHOTOGRAPHY
Coach Kyle Murphy, of New Lenox, finished his first season with the Celtics. The
team finished 12-20, won two playoff games and nearly won a regional title.
and come back with the
same family atmosphere."
Rich Central opened the
game with leads of 4-0 and
6-2. But the Celtics came
back to lead 14-8 after one
quarter and led 19-11 just
over a minute into the second
quarter on a 3-pointer
by senior forward Jake
Mazrimas (10 points, 10
rebounds). But the Olympians
turned up their pressure
and forced four quick turnovers
to help fuel a 25-2
blitz.
Love had 10 points and
senior post player Quarnell
Johnson (13 points) added
eight in the burst that was
capped on a literal backboard
shaking slam by senior
post player Dionlashon
Washington (10 points, 11

the left wing at the buzzer
and despite the huge Olympian
outburst, Providence
trailed just 36-24 at halftime.
"At halftime, I just told
the team to keep going,"
Murphy said. "We know
we're a good team, just keep
going and play with pride."
The Celtics scored the
first five points of the third

Providence picked away,

three to set the stage for the
unforgettable fourth quarter.
"It's almost surreal,"
Taylor, a Mokena resident,
said of the feeling after the
game. "These guys pushed
me in practice every day.
We all battled out there and
we all have scars to prove
it. We're unhappy that we
lost, but at the end of the
day, we all love each other.
We'll move on."

Celtics’ game-winner from Mazrimas downs No. 2-seed Oak Forest
Sean Hastings
Freelance Reporter
With 5.8 seconds left
in a tie game, Providence
head coach Kyle Murphy
drew up a play for the
Celtics to run that they had
not run all year. And that
play was the one to win
the game.
Junior Joe Alfirevich
took the ball at the top of
the arc, looking for senior
Adam Taylor, and when
the play wasn’t there, Alfirevich
attacked the basket,
drawing two Oak Forest
defenders, dumped it to
senior Jake Mazrimas in
the corner, and he buried a
game-winning three-pointer
at the buzzer.
Providence topped Oak
Forest 57-54 to win the
Class 3A New Lenox Regional
Semifinal game at
home on Feb. 26. It got to
this point after defeating
Joliet Catholic 54-41 on
Feb. 25.
“It was crazy,” Mazrimas
said. “I honestly didn’t
even see it go in. I just shot
it and looked away and
didn’t really know it was
going in.”
As much as he wanted
the ball in his hand, he said
he believes in everyone on
the team to be able to take
that shot.
But no one was more
noticeably excited than
Murphy, who jumped out
of a crouched position,
did a couple jumps and
an iconic Tiger Woods fist
pump.
Mazrimas praised his
teammates for playing the
game to the final second,
especially after Oak Forest
hit the game-tying three
with just about 30 seconds
left in the game.
“[Alfirevich] finds me,”
he said. “He’s a great point
guard for me, so I can’t
take all the credit. It was a
whole team effort.”
Mazrimas finished with
a team-high 25 points and
wanted the ball in his hand
to take the final shot.
“It was a game of runs
between two teams that
really fought hard and are
well coached,” Murphy
said. “We just ended up
getting the last shot and
made it. It could have very
easily been them.”
The game was back and
forth and each team had
a 9-point lead that were
eventually lost. The Celtics
went down 9-0 to start
the game, and then they
had a 41-32 lead at the end
of the third quarter.
Up until Mazrimas
buried a game-winning
buzzer beater, senior Matt
DiNardi hit a shot that shot
meant everything for score
and momentum purposes.
DiNardi was trying to
waste the final seconds to
get the last shot, had the
ball poked away across
center court, picked it back
up and threw up an awkward
circus shot from just
inside half court, making
it and giving Providence a
much needed three points.
Murphy called this
game one of the best high
school games, he’s ever
been apart of.
“I’m so happy for
our kids,” Murphy said.
“I’m proud of our kids.
They decided today that
‘we’re going to get down
and defend.’ We’ve had
a tough schedule all
year, and we’ve been in
this spot before where it
was a tie or down at the
end of the game. I think
we’ve lost 11 games by
eight points or less. This
was nothing we haven’t
seen before. I think we
kept our composure down
the stretch.”
When the Celtics went
down 9-0 in the first four
minutes, they missed
their first seven shots before
Mazrimas laid one
in sparking an 8-2 run for
Providence.
The Celtics’ mentality
is to attack the rim and
work for rhythm threes,
which was not the case on
their first six possessions.
The shots the Celtics took
were not bad shots, Murphy
said, but they just
were not the best shots
available.
Murphy called a timeout
and right away the
Celtics played with a new
sense of urgency and attacked
the rim just as they
look to do. Their next five
baskets were hard-fought
layups. Providence only
had five 3-pointers in the
game, two of which were
the half-court shot and the
game winner.
The Celtics’ entire season
has been no easy road,
playing tough teams for
a majority of the season,
giving them their 10-19
record, but the last two
games, two of the toughest
they’d have all season,
Providence stepped up.
Facing elimination
Monday night, the Celtics
beat JCA in the playin
game and facing No. 2
Oak Forest the next night,
sent the Bengals home in
the most fitting way possible.
But Mazrimas, Murphy
and the rest of the Celtics
still know the road ahead
is still long.
“I told the guys that
we’re 2-0 in the playoffs,
but at the end of the day,
we’ve really accomplished
nothing,” Murphy said.
“We want to win a regional
championship and that’s
going to be our focus. I
told them to enjoy this
one tonight, have fun and
come back ready, locked in
and focused in.”

Off shooting night, turnovers lead to Central’s early exit
Indians make
from previous
loss to Knights in
December
Chris Walker
Freelance Reporter
Forward Connor Barry is one of five seniors on the
Knights who will graduate this year.
Lincoln-Way Central
beat Minooka in mid-
December, but other than
providing each team with
a really good scouting
report, that game meant
nothing when they squared
off during Monday’s Class
4A Oswego regional quarterfinal.
Even the fact that the
No. 20 seeded Indians
were riding a 13-game losing
streak meant little other
than that they didn’t have
any momentum when they
took the court as they still
upset the young Knights,
53-44, to end their season
on Feb. 25.
“Earlier in the year, they
had a bunch of guys jacking
the ball up,” Knights
coach Bob Curran said.
“They made a concerted
effort to get matchups and
then that made other players
better because we were
giving too much attention
to their big guy (6-foot-7
senior Adrian Gutierrez)
and other guys slipped to
the basket.”
Gutierrez did score
eight points, but was an
even bigger weapon on
the glass, collecting 10
rebounds. It was the balanced
offensive attack
from the Indians that
proved to be huge as eight
players scored with senior
Carlos Hernandez leading
the way with 18 points.
“The tempo was definitely
in their favor,”
Curran said. “We wanted
the pace to be more possession
and what hurt
us in the beginning was
turnovers. They had
three run-outs and then
were hurting us on the
glass and we missed free
throws. We’re small and
we’re relying on shooting
so we’ve got to shoot
80 percent from the free
throw line and we just
missed too many.”
Lincoln-Way Central
(15-16) shot just 11-of-20
from the free throw line
and didn’t take advantage
of bonus opportunities either,
beginning in the final
minute of the opening
quarter.
“It wasn’t our best night,
but I’m going to give them
a lot of credit for pace of
the game really affecting
our guys,” Curran said.
“They had a little bit more
energy from when we last
played them, and they
were much more patient
with the ball.”
Starting four sophomores
and senior Nathan
Purcell, the Knights are a
young team and the experience
gained throughout
this season should pay
dividends next season and
beyond. Still, it marked
the end for the team’s seniors,
including Purcell
and Joan Buch, who each
scored five points. As a
whole, five seniors will
depart.
“All the sophomores
and juniors we have, I
have just used this year
to help them grow,” Purcell
said. “I liked teaching
them and they have a really
bright future. They’re
all really talented athletes
and I know they’ll work
hard and it’ll be really fun
to watch them the next
couple of years because
when the sophomores become
seniors, they should
be really good and a fun
team.”
Minooka (6-21) led
23-18 at halftime, but the
Knights came out to begin
the third quarter with a
3-pointer from sophomore
Ryan Kraft and a 3-point
play from Purcell to take a
24-23 lead.
“We made that little run
as we brought the energy

the team next season as a junior.
right out of the half,” Purcell
said. “We were looking
good and then they just
kept their cool and kept
playing their game. They
played really well, moving
the ball, getting the ball in
the paint and making shots
and we couldn’t catch up
with them.”
Sophomore Sean Curran
had the hot hand for the
Knights in the first half,
but knocked down all three
of his three-pointers in the
first half, finishing with
a team-high 18 points.
Sophomore Nick Tingley
drained three 3-pointers
of his own in the second
half to account for his nine
points.
Mike Maloney added
four points for the Knights.

Wildcats’ hot second half downs Warriors’ playoff hopes
Clendenning leads
team with 12
points in final high
school game
Chris Walker
Freelance Reporter
Lincoln-Way West’s
record didn’t really show
it, but the Warriors were
a much more competitive
team this winter than a
season ago.
During the Class 4A Oswego
regional quarterfinal
against Plainfield Central
on Feb. 25, the Warriors
remained within striking
distance until midway
through the third quarter
when the Wildcats pulled
away behind a 10-0 run
and then cruised the rest of
the way in a 48-32 victory.
“A 48-point game is on
par for what we’ve done
this season,” Warriors
coach Brian Flaherty said.
“We’ve been in games this
year, haven’t gotten run
out of the gym too many
times, but it’s very frustrating
in the fact that you
look at a lot of these games
and they’ve come down to
the last two minutes where
we’re down three or up
three and just find ways to
cough it up. Today was an
example of getting down
big early and being right
on the cusp of making
shots and crawling right
back in it.”
Last year, the Warriors
were often out of games
by the time halftime rolled
around.
On Feb. 25, they only
trailed 20-12 at the half
and after a basket by junior
Andrew Pyles (8 points) to
open the second half, they
Warriors got within two
possessions, but wouldn’t
get any closer than that.
Leading 24-16 with 5:02
left in the third quarter, the
Wildcats (15-13) scored
the next 10 points to more
than double up the Warriors
at 34-16 early in the
fourth quarter.
“We’re down eight at
the half, and then we creep
back in a little bit, but then
they pull away, and then
we cut it to 10 or 12, and
then they go up again, and
then we cut it to 15 or 16,”
Flaherty said. “It feels like
we’re on a teeter-totter on
every point of a game like
that and part of that was
we had to take chances at
the end, and we’re not a
team that’s built to be able
to do that.”
The Warriors struggled
putting the ball in the basket,
and even when they
did connect, they couldn’t
piece together any strong
scoring runs with a combination
of a defensive stop
on the other end.
“It was just a situation
where we couldn’t score
the ball,” Flaherty said.
“We didn’t run good offense.
I think we got a little
rattled with their pressure
and instead of staying
“It was crazy. I honestly didn’t even see it go in. I just shot it and
looked away and didn’t really know it was going in.”

poised with each possession,
we would throw
the ball around two or
three times and then kind
of bury our head in the
ground and force a drive
instead of letting offensive
opportunities come so we
never even explored the
possibility of them making

and Kyle Bumstead are
the only two seniors that
the Warriors will lose from
this year’s team. Clendenning
did lead the team with
12 points. While the experience
gained by the others
should certainly continue
to help the program, it
still hasn’t really impacted
their record, although they
did progress from a threewin
to a five-win team.
“Being young is an excuse
for not being able to
finish a game, and I don’t
want that to be crutch for
why we lost games,” Flaherty
said. “Last year, we
prepared to get some experience
to be more competitive
and this season we
had our usual approach of
trying to win games.”
