LW Marching Band
celebrates achievements
Carly Styka, Editorial Intern
Members of the Lincoln-
Way Marching Band, their
families and staff gathered
in the Performing Arts Center
at Lincoln-Way West on
Oct. 30 to honor the band’s
achievements over the past
year and to acknowledge
the individuals involved
with the band.
Bert Johnson, Lincoln-
Way East music department
chair and band director,
spoke to the students and
told them what is really being
celebrated.
“Kids, that applause is
for you. Everything tonight
is about your success,”
Johnson said.
The LWMB, with 196
students from all three Lincoln-Way
schools, has had
a successful season. The
band was crowned Grand
Champion in the finals
competition for the second
year in a row at the Illinois
State Marching Band
Championship held at Illinois
State University. This
competition pits the best
bands in the state against
each other in a preliminary
and finals format. The band
also placed second in the
preliminary competition
and won for Best Music and
Best Visual.
“We have always had to
work hard to get where we
are, and two years in a row
is remarkable for any school
because it’s just so rare,”
Johnson said. “There’s only
four schools that ever won
that championship.”
LWMB placed third in
the preliminary competition
in its class and fourth in the
finals at the Bands of America
Super Regionals in Indianapolis,
a competition between
more than 85 bands.
The band placed in class
4A, which is where larger
bands and past championship
winners have placed
previously. Although placing
and winning these competitions
is important, it is
not the main focus.
“It’s not really about how
we place; it’s about if we
did our best. That’s all it’s
about,” Johnson said.
Johnson invited the drum
majors of LWMB on stage
to present the Grand Champion
trophy to Superintendent
Scott Tingley.
Lincoln-Way West music
chairman and band director
Justin Barnish described
the first-place win as a
“huge achievement,” but
the awards are only a small
part of what makes the band
successful.
“We try not to focus too
much on the competitive aspect
of it. We want to focus
more on making ourselves
better and putting our best
foot forward,” Barnish said.
Another major accomplishment
of the band was
being accepted to perform
at the 2020 Macy’s Thanksgiving
Parade in New York
City. Consolidating the
small individual bands of
each Lincoln-Way school
into one large band in 2016
enabled it to participate in
national parades and events.
“The Lincoln-Way community
is one of the most
supportive communities of
the fine arts I’ve ever experienced,”
Barnish said. “To
PROTECTION FOR WHAT’S NOW, AND WHAT’S NEXT

opt for convenience, so you can keep dreaming towards what’s next.
Let’s talk about your insurance needs today.

achievements of the past year. Carly Styka/22nd Century Media
be able to be a part of that
community and be a part of
the excitement of the success
of the marching band
has been something special.”
The band’s achievements
were made possible by the
members’ hard work and
perseverance.
“It’s a significant time
commitment, but if you ask
any of the students, they
will tell you it’s worth every
minute to have the experiences
they’ve had in the
marching band,” Barnish
said.
This seemed to ring true
as the students cheered
throughout the celebration.
Students watched a photo
montage of the season’s
best moments and a video
of a LWMB performance
during this season’s competition
with glowing commentary
from the judges.
Johnson thanked each
group involved with the
band, such as the student
leaders, crew, parents and
bus drivers. The seniors
were acknowledged invited
on stage to receive an
award.
To close out the night,
the seniors led the crowd in
singing LW’s alma mater.
“This is the best Lincoln-
Way band we’ve ever had,”
Johnson said.

Retiring Marine of 20 years
welcomed home by family

Major Norm Mitchell holds hands with his wife,
Akena, as they are greeted by three of their children
while being welcomed home at his parents’ house in
Manhattan. Hugging his leg is son Randall, 4, hugging
Akena is daughter River, 2, and daughter, Reese.
A member of New Lenox
CERT was going to miss
an important training day.
Phillia Mitchell, of Manhattan,
had a good reason: her
son, Marine Major Norm
Mitchell III, was coming
home.
“I would be [there] but
I have the most important
event going on, welcoming
my son home,” she said.
Phillia has been on the
CERT team for five years
and is also on the New
Lenox Search and Rescue
team.
“On the CERT team,
we’re trained for disasters
and on search and rescue,
we search for lost and missing
people,” Phillia said.
“When there are a lot of
people needing immediate
help, they train us to go out
and triage. Whatever the
need is.”
She and husband, Norman
II, raised their sons
the same way. They have
another son in the Marines.
“My son grew up in Mokena,”
Phillia said. “When
he was 15, we moved
to New Lenox. I homeschooled
my kids through
high school.”
As Phillia was speaking
about the history of her son,
veterans from the American
Legion Post 935 in Manhattan
arrived at the Mitchell
home, now in Manhattan.
“I’m happy for my son
and his wife Akena, and
their six kids,” she said.
After 20 years and a dozen
moves, they will be settling
down in Colorado
Major Norm Mitchell,
USMC, is retiring. Approximately
40 friends, neighbors
and family members
came to Manhattan to welcome
him home and thank
him for his service.
“It’s been quite a journey,
the whole Marine Corps
life,” Phillia said. “He has
been to Iraq, Afghanistan
and numerous deployments
as well as flying in the F18
fighter jets. It was scary for
us and his family, but he
loved flying. It’s been so
many years it’s hard for me
to see him not in the Marine
Corps.”
Her other son, Eric, is
also a Marine.
“Today, it’s kind of a
happy feeling but it’s also a
sad feeling because we love
the military and we love our
country and I’m so proud of
them for serving and keeping
us free,” Phillia said.
Several vehicles came
driving down Butler Road
in Manhattan, horns beeping.
Friends and Family
ran to the edge of the street
waving American flags.
Tears in her eyes, and
holding her grand daughter,
River, Phillia waved her
flag as she watched her son
stop in front of their home.
“I’m so touched by the
Illinois Patriot Guard,
the Color Guard from the
American Legion, neighbors
who came out to welcome
him home,” she said.
“When your kids are appreciated
for what you think is
a good thing, it’s an added
bonus.”
Norm stepped out holding
hands with his wife Akena
and was greeted with
hugs from his children.
“The military calls 20
years a milestone,” Norm
said to the crowd. “... It’s
a milestone I feel I have
not confidently crossed,
it’s a milestone that I’ve
stumbled across gasping
for breath with far better
men than I am. I have been
so fortunate that I have a
phenomenal family who
stood by me through difficult
circumstances. I’ve
been fortunate to find an
environment in the Marine
Corps that is lucky for me.

Sold-out painting party
benefits LWSRA programs
Kyle LaHucik
Freelance Reporter
2
Wine, painting and a
good time made for the
perfect mixture for a soldout
crowd Oct. 27 at Gina’s
Teardrop Cafe in New
Lenox. Friends, families
and athletes gathered to
paint inspirational quotes
on wooden boards as a fundraiser
for the Lincolnway
Special Recreation Association.
“I’d do anything to be
with these people,” Nicki
Sweezer, a basketball player
on the LWSRA wheelchair
team, said while
looking through the 30 or
so available quotes to use
for her board. She landed
on “it’s all just a bunch of
hocus pocus.”
“I’m all about Halloween,”
Sweezer said. She
dressed as a sugar skull for
Halloween season, which is
her favorite holiday.
Proceeds from the event
will go toward a scholarship
program, the association’s
sports teams
or an adult day program,
LWSRA Executive Director
Keith Wallace said.
“We love getting organizations
that do fundraising
on our behalf,” Wallace
said, noting that it lifts a
weight off the shoulders
of LWSRA staff. “It brings
people together.”
Terrie Murphy, a codirector
of the New Lenox
Relay For Life, did a
similar fundraiser for the
American Cancer Society
recently and wanted to do a
similar event in support of
the LWSRA. She teamed
up with Gina’s Teardrop
Cafe owner Gina Buck,
whose son has participated

Sweezer (bottom left) get their boards ready for an
afternoon of painting. The two athletes play for the
LWSRA wheelchair basketball team, whose first
tournament is Nov. 9. Kyle LaHucik/22nd Century Media
in LWSRA programs for
nearly 25 years.
“Keith is a great guy,”
Buck said.
She said her son, who is
27, has enjoyed his experiences
with the LWSRA,
whether that’s going on
trips or engaging in the Titans
adult day program.
Buck’s mother, Mary
Lungaro, and friends Darlene
Purler and Pat Goes
painted together.
“She’s got a good heart,”
Goes, who works at Gina’s
Cafe, said of Buck. She
painted the phrase “Scatter
kindness” on her home decor
board.
Colleen Musselman,
who’s played basketball for
10 years — the two most
recent for the LWSRA
team — decided to paint
the phrase “If the shoe fits,”
because it reminds her of
Toy Story. Musselman decided
to attend the event
because “it’s fun to do with
my teammates,” she said.
Participants created everyday
designs to accent
their homes with phrases
like “Beautifully broken,”
“Simply blessed,” “It is
well with my soul” and holiday-themed
ones, as well.
Melinda Green, owner
of the 6-year-old wood
sign painting workshop,
taught participants how to
make their boards: Chalk
the back of the paper with
the quote, tape it onto the
board, trace the outline and
then apply brushstrokes of
any of the many dozens of
acrylic paint options.
Lauren Tidball and Jamie
Meyer hadn’t known about
the LWSRA before coming
to the event but were invited
by their aunt and were
excited to paint, they said.
Green said she was especially
interested in leading
the workshop for the LWS-
RA because she worked for
Lincoln-Way Area Special
Education District 843 for
10 years.
“This is the grass roots of
what I did,” Green said.
The groups were coming
together for a good cause
for a unique experience,
she added.

New Lenox Toastmasters celebrate 10 years of improving public speaking
Sean Hastings, Editor
It’s a fear that many have:
public speaking. For whatever
reason for some people,
who may be confident
in just about every aspect
of their lives, all bets are off
when they step foot in front
of a group of people.
Am I rocking back and
forth? Yep. Are my hands
shaking? Yep. Now I’m
talking way too fast — time
to slow down. How often
am I saying “like,” “um,”
or “you know?” Where am
I at in my speech? This is a
trainwreck.
Those are just some
of the usual suspects for
someone uncomfortable
giving a speech.
But for the last 10 years,
the New Lenox Toastmasters
have helped countless
people get over their fear
— no matter what it may be
— and turn into confident,
almost fearless speakers.
What the group has done
has allowed people to not
have a million thoughts
race through their brain
while they talk and begin
honing in on certain skills.
This is true for current
president Martha Sojka.
She joined the Toastmasters
in June of 2017,
worked into a PR role in
2018 and said she has seen
herself grow immensely in
just two years. The group
celebrated its 10-year anniversary
at its meeting on
Oct. 26.
“I said this morning [at
the meeting] that my heart
would pound if I had to
speak in front of anybody,”
she said. “I had physical
reactions where my hands
would shake and as soon as
you recognize your hands
are shaking, that just adds
to the anxiety. Within two
years, I’m up there — I still
have issues with skill sets
not quite there — but just
the ability to go up there in
front of a crowd has been a
game changer for me.”
It has allowed her to begin
to find the “authentic
voice” everyone looks for,
she said.
One of Sojka’s fears,
probably like most people,
was being out in the open
giving a speech. That was
also one of the tips noted at
the meeting — that people
should try to avoid speaking
behind a podium if
possible.
Speaking behind a podium
is a “safe space” for
some. That fixture comes
up just below ones chest
and gives separation to
them and the crowd. Once
they are out in the open, it
can change things.
But this allows the
crowd to see the speaker
better, connect with them
better, as well as adding

E Club President of the Year 2018-2019 Award with

movements to the speech.
which allows the speaker
to address both sides of the
room.
Another person whose
job puts them into public
speaking situations is Mokena
Police Chief Steve
Vaccaro.
Vaccaro attended a
Toastmasters meeting in
Alexandria, Virginia in
2012 while he was there
attending the FBI National
Academy. He said he really
enjoyed it, but it took
him until 2018 to become a
member of the New Lenox
group.
Vaccaro has been refining
some areas of his public
speaking.
“A lot of it [for me] is
focus,” he said. “Sticking
with the topic at hand and
generating enough interest
from the audience.”
The New Lenox Toastmasters
fall under the umbrella
of the International
group and a year into Sojka’s
time with the group
a new educational system
was implemented.
It is a pathway system
— 11 different ones — that
allow people to customize
their speaking goals.
“You start with an assessment
and that gives
you an idea of what pathway
would be appropriate
for you,” Sojka said. “We
have speakers here that
want to be motivational
speakers, and some that
are coaches and want to be
a better coach, and some at
work have to be team leaders
and want to learn how
to lead a group. Each pathway
is geared toward what
they want to do.”
The group has a pathway
goal board that allows
everyone to actually see
their personal goals and
recognize when they meet
them.
“It keeps you engaged,
committed and dedicated,”
Sojka said. “If you
do something that is fearbased,
it’s easy to say ‘I’m
done. That was fun for once
but I don’t want anymore.’
Once you’re engaged and
see yourself progressing,
it’s hard to leave then. ‘I
want that third level, or that
fifth level.’”
Vaccaro also enjoys the
diversity the group has.
“We all have our own
unique talents and we are a
dynamic and unique group
and everyone has their
own skill,” he said. “I’ve
learned something from
everyone. We’re very close
knit, we all learn and we’re
not afraid to offer ideas for
improvement in areas.”
Different roles are filled
at each meeting including
general evaluator, grammarian,
invocation, joke
master and more.
The best part for Sojka
is the meetings are a safe
space that makes everyone
feel comfortable.
The supportive environment
is clear. People clap
2
before and after speeches,
give high fives and compliment
each other afterword.
Speakers are evaluated
at the end, which are meant
to help people reach their
next level. They are not
critical, rather evaluations
that simply note the good
and the parts that need to
be worked on.
Guests are always welcome
to sit in on a meeting
and see how it works. Sojka
encourages people that
have strong communication
skills to come in to see
what else they can learn to
be even better.
“If you’re going to do it
anywhere, this is the place
to do it,” she said. “Mess
up here where everyone
is OK with it because we
all do it and have done it.
The mentorship is great. It
becomes part of your life.
Knowing that they want to
better themselves, this is a
good place.”
“It’s very structured,”
Vaccaro added. “If we
didn’t have that, what
would our goal be? This
offers you a path to follow
and reach your goal. Once
you complete one, no one
says you can’t complete
another.”

From Page 4
I was created by people
that care deeply about our
country and about making
me better than I was the
day before. I’m fortunate to
have all of you, this is more
than I deserve. The credit
goes to my family and to
the people whose shoulder
I was standing on.”
Norm has flown in over
100 combat missions.
When he was in college, he
knew that military intelligence
was a better stepping
stone. He took a test for a
Naval flight officer to open
up his options.
“This is overwhelming,”
he said. “My previous posting
was at Camp Pendleton
three years ago. The Marines
decided I needed to
get some culture so they
sent me to the Air Force.”
Norm will officially retire
in January 2020.
“I’m going to miss the
people,” he said. “During
hardships, you form some
pretty strong bonds. When
you work with people that
are committed to you, to
holding you to a high standard
and always having my
back means a lot.”
At the end of November,
the Mitchell family will
move to Colorado Springs
and Norm will return to college
to study business.
“I still plan on serving
my country in other ways,”
he said. “The Marines do a
lot of humanitarian work. It
was an absolute honor and
privilege to serve in the Marine
Corps. I consider life to
be pursuit, something you
never succeed at. Any ideal
you strive for is always out
of reach, which is a good
thing.”
As the celebration dwindled
down, Norm gave one
last comment.
“A lot of people talk
about military service and
associate it with sacrifice,”
he began. “Part of the reason
I’m uncomfortable
with gatherings like this is
because I feel I have not
sacrificed that much. There
are others who have given
their lives, given up limbs
and had more difficulty
than I’ve had to face. I’m
not a religious person but I
look at Jesus Christ as the
one who made the ultimate
sacrifice which serves as an
ideal for that. If I can pursue
a life that Jesus exemplified,
I will be a happy man.”

New Lenox Village Board
8
Discussions continue, opinions still split on potential NL dispensary
Jessie Molloy
Freelance Reporter
The New Lenox Village
Board heard comments
from the public regarding
the legalization of recreational
cannabis for the
third time at its meeting,
Oct. 28 with residents still
split on the issue.
Monday night was the
last meeting scheduled
before the board will vote
on the ordinance to opt-out
on Nov. 11. Nine people
spoke at the meeting, five
in favor of allowing the
sale of recreational cannabis
in the village, and four
in opposition. One of the
speakers in favor of allowing
the sale was Edward
Gal, who is requesting permission
to open a dispensary
if the board votes to
allow sales.
Gal thanked the board
for “providing more opportunity
for discourse” on the
issue than any other city he
has talked with in the south
and western suburbs, and
argued that “New Lenox
needs to do what’s best for
New Lenox.”
“I know a lot of the
people arguing against
this have said you need
to stand with other neighboring
communities who
have opted out, but that
should not have anything
to do with this,” he said.
He also noted that his
proposed location is in an
industrial area which has
had vacant properties for
10 years, and that there
has been “little to no uptick
in crime” in Colorado
towns with similar demographics
to New Lenox
which allowed recreational
dispensaries to open.
Still, opponents argued
that the legalization would
create safety and crime issues,
citing drug abuse and
increased rates of DUI in
other states. “I don’t want
truckers coming off of
I-80 in their 18-wheelers
to make drug purchases in
our town,” argued Marilyn
Gallagher.
“People argue that
drinking is just as dangerous
and we have bars in
New Lenox, but I don’t
know a single marijuana
user who can limit themselves
to using once or
twice a month like people
can go to bars,” she added.
“I don’t think I’m better
than people who use
marijuana, but I do think I

make smarter decisions.”
Vince Schilke, by contrast
argued that little will
change and the purchases
will be safer, since marijuana
is already easily acquired
on the black market.
“I went to Carl Sandburg
High School,” he said. “As
a freshman, I could have
gotten pot much easier
than I could alcohol and
there are liquor stores on
every corner.”
Three other residents,
John Fisher, Dawn Rinchiuso
and Donna Fisher
who rely on medical cannabis
argued in favor of the
legalization to make acquiring
the drug easier for
current medical patients
and for those who would
be unable to receive medical
cannabis because their
conditions are not covered
under Illinois’ medical program.
“I’m here today as a recovering
opioid addict,”
Rinchiuso said. “My doctor
had me on 100 milligrams
of Oxycodone a
day for pain. Needless to
say, I was a zombie and I
thought I was going to die
of an overdose.
“I got another doctor to
get me into detox for three
days and get me a medical
marijuana prescription,”
she continued. “I finally
feel like myself again, but
I still owe money for the
treatment. Had I had access
to recreational cannabis,
I don’t think I’d have
needed to go through what
I did.”
Finally, Jane Corradetti
argued that she opposes
allowing a dispensary “on
behalf of children.”
“Even though it’s only
sold to adults, if we say it’s
medicine or it’s legal, then
teens and children will
think it must be safe,” she
said. “In every state that
has legalized it, the perception
of harms amongst
teens have decreased. I
was disappointed when the
state approved it, because
it is not sending a positive
message to our children.”
“This is not about good
or bad people,” Mayor Tim
Baldermann noted when all
the residents had finished
speaking. “This is about
our opinions on something
controversial that is
going to be legal anyway.
There are good people on
both sides of this argument
here, and it seems to be
very evenly split, so it will
be impossible to please everyone.”
The public will have one
final chance to speak on
the issue before the vote at
the Nov. 11 meeting. Since
the default position of the
state law legalizes the use
and sale of cannabis, in order
to opt out the ordinance
has to be written banning
the sales in the village. If
the ordinance fails, the sale
will be legalized. If it passes,
sales will be prohibited
within the village boundaries,
however, the private
use of cannabis products in
residents’ own homes will
still be legal.
Other business
In addition to the cannabis
discussion, the board
held a public hearing and
first read of an amendment
to the annexation agreement
of the Calistoga development’s
units two and
three.

New Lenox to host forum on risks with vaping
Sean Hastings, Editor
The Village of New
Lenox and its Safe Communities
America Coalition,
in partnership with
Lincoln-Way School District
210, is hosting a forum
titled “Vaping: Understanding
the Hazards and Risks.”
The event will be held
7-8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov.
14, in the auditorium at
Lincoln-Way West High
Broker - Management Team
“10”
School.
Mayor Tim Baldermann
will provide opening remarks
for the event. Following
the mayor’s opening
remarks, the featured
panelists include, Dr. Aaron
Weiner, PhD – Licensed
Clinical Psychologist and
Director of Addiction Services
at Linden Oaks Behavioral
Health, Alpesh
Patel – Epidemiologist,
Will County Health Department,
Ruby Johnson –
parent of teen hospitalized
with vaping-related illness.
Ruby’s daughter, Piper,
was hospitalized. Piper
was having difficulty
breathing, admitted to vaping
and eventually ended
up in the emergency room
the day she was supposed
to be moving into college.
Ruby said at that time,
she would be looking into
having an event like this
for other parents and teens
to learn the risks so that no
one else would have to go
through what her daughter
did.
The reason for the forum
comes after the vapingrelated
illnesses that have
swept the nation, including
three deaths in Illinois.
Dan Martin, safe community
coordinator said
attendees will get good
information from all the
speakers.
He also admires the work
Ruby has done — turning
a negative experience to
helping raise awareness.

FROM THE TINLEY JUNCTION
Creative Cakes decorators
take second place at
international competition
It was two days of intense,
fast-paced competition,
and Ashley Spitzer
and Robbyn Yuen proved
to their fellow cake decorators
that they deserved to
be there.
Representing Creative
Cakes in Tinley Park, the
duo placed second overall
out of six teams at the
The Pillsbury Bakers’ Plus
Grand Champion Creative
Decorating Competition
held Sept. 7-9 in Las Vegas
in conjunction with
the International Baking
Industry Expo.
This was the second
year that Yuen, a Tinley
Park resident, and Spitzer,
a resident of Midlothian,
competed together —
placing second last year in
Atlantic City.
During the first day of
competition, the pair made
a rolled fondant cake and
sculpted cake, and the second
day they made a wedding
cake and a “surprise”
cake, which was a threeteir
buttercream cake that
was announced to them
when they arrived the day
before.
As a result of their
scores, the duo won
$4,000 collectively, which
they split.
“We just want to really
build awareness of Creative
Cakes,” Spitzer said.
“I’ve worked here for 13
years and this is my place
and I couldn’t imagine
myself working at any other
bakery, honestly.”

FROM THE LOCKPORT LEGEND
LTHS Marching Band
wins Class 6A state
championship in Normal
Sound the horns: the
winners of the Class 6A
2019 Illinois State Marching
Band Championship
are back in town.
The Saturday night
lights were shining on the
Lockport Township High
School marching band Oct.
19 at Illinois State University.
Competing in Class
6A, the division which
houses the largest schools,
the LTHS band and its 175
members claimed first,
along with supplemental
awards for General Effect
and Crowd Appeal.
The win marks their
third championship this
decade, with the two others
coming in 2013 and
2015. The 2019 group’s
show is called “Tribe,”
which features compositions
from Nick Phoenix
and Thomas Bergersen.
“Most of our shows before
were bright and colorful;
this year we went for
a darker and more unique
take on the music,” said
Rileigh Rubar, an alto sax
player in her third year
with the marching band.
Citing the leadership of
Covey, she said, “Our program
has become stronger,
and we’re far more unified.”

FROM THE MOKENA MESSENGER
Multiple agencies
participate in simulated
train derailment exercise
The average daily ridership
across six counties on
Metra’s commuter trains
is approximately 177,000.
There are two Metra stations
in Mokena, at Front
Street downtown and the
Hickory Creek station on
the east side of town.
Now, imagine if one of
those trains derailed. People
are injured. The train
is heavily damaged and
could pose additional risks
to both passengers and
emergency responders.
How would emergency
personnel respond? What
protocols are in place to attend
to injured passengers?
What systems are in place
to quickly and efficiently
respond to such a hypothetical
disaster?
On Oct. 26, Village officials
teamed up with Metra
and Department of Homeland
Security Transportation
Safety Administration
officials at the Hickory
Creek station for a training
exercise based precisely
on those concerns.
The joint training exercise
included members of
Mokena police, fire and
other support staff from
the Village. And, according
to Mokena Police
Chief Steve Vaccaro, everything
went “seamless.”
Vaccaro said that all parties
worked well together
and that, from a preparation
standpoint, Mokena
“is prepared” in the event
of this sort of emergency
situation.
While the Village and
its partnerships with Will
County, Metra and neighboring
communities’
emergency responders are
strong, Vaccaro stressed
the need to continue these
sorts of training exercises
to ensure each department
is on top of the latest developments
in technology
to assist in emergency situations.

FROM THE FRANKFORT STATION
Memorable track careers
helped LW East twins
adjust to life in America
When twins Ibukun and
Ore Ajifolokun moved
from Canada to Frankfort
before their sophomore
year in high school, they
decided to join the Lincoln-Way
East track team.
Showing up and earning
a spot with of the most successful
high school track
programs in the country is
no easy task, though, and
the twins were certainly
not naturals.
“In practice the first day,
they were getting lapped,”
East coach Brian Evans
said. “They struggled to do
pretty simple drills. They
couldn’t walk and chew
gum. We were just scratching
our heads, like, ‘What
are we going to do with
these two?’
“They had a lot going
on already, moving
to a new country, trying
to get things straight with
school because some of
their credits from their
old school did not transfer
over. Then you throw into
the mix joining the Lincoln-Way
East track team,
which is a pretty daunting
thing. We just figured they
weren’t going to last.”
The Ajifolokun twins,
who were born in Nigeria
and grew up in Canada,
found a home on the track
team. They were not about
to quit, no matter how difficult
it was.
Both twins earned All-
State honors this past
spring in Charleston. Ibukun
competed on the state
runner-up 1,600-meter relay
team, and the twins ran
together on the All-State
800 relay team.

FROM THE HOMER HORIZON
Make-A-Wish gives
Disney trip to first-grader
at Young School
After being diagnosed
with bone cancer in September
2018, Trevor Daley,
6, faced a long road to
recovery. He kept in good
spirits the whole time, his
parents said, and he never
asked for much — other
than to go on the trip of his
dreams.
Trevor, a first-grader at
Young School, got to go
to Disneyland this Halloween
season.
He went through nine
months of proton therapy
before officially being declared
as in remission.
“Through the whole
process of recovery, Trevor
stayed positive,” said
his father, John. “He never
let it get the best of him.”
A former teacher at
Young, Terra Nichele
is now involved in the
Make-A-Wish Foundation
and reached out to
Trevor and his family.
After beating cancer this
past June, Trevor’s wish
was granted. The Disney
trip was set in motion for
late October.
“Make-A-Wish came by
when he was still doing
treatment,” John said. “We
knew the trip was going to
come; we just wanted to
give it time after the treatment.”
In anticipation of Trevor’s
trip, students and
staff at Young planned a
special parade for him before
school on the morning
of Oct. 25. He was
picked up by police and a
SWAT armored truck from
his house and escorted
to school, where he was
greeted by his classmates,
teachers and a few special
guests, including Batman
and Mickey and Minnie
Mouse.

FROM THE ORLAND PARK PRAIRIE
Scare today, gone
tomorrow: Custodian
transforms school
overnight for Halloween
When students at Liberty
School leave the building
on Oct. 30 every year,
they start to see hints of
what custodian Bill Pluta
has done there for Halloween
the past five years. It’s
not until Halloween morning,
though, that anyone
but Pluta truly understands
the scope of it. And by
Nov. 1, it vanishes as if it
was never there.
Pluta — on his own time
and his own dime — this
year outfitted the elementary
school with roughly
40 inflatables, which could
be found arching over each
entryway, in the multipurpose
room and around
the gymnasium/lunchroom.
Keeping in mind
the students there run from
grades 3-5, some of the
displays — which include
animatronics and ghosts
that zip on wires overhead
— provide little scares but
include no gore.
“I keep things fun,” Pluta
said.
The piece de resistance
is a graveyard scene
tucked into a corner near
the multipurpose room.
There, bat props hang
overhead, a vulture rests
on a perch, an inflatable
tree is haunted by ghosts,
and several other haunts
both spook and delight the
students who pass it.
“The graveyard is just
cool,” Pluta says with
pride.

High school football is a special game
Sean Hastings
sean@newlenoxpatriot.com
I
just finished up my
second year of covering
high school football,
primarily Lincoln-
Way West. Being six years
out of playing high school
football myself, it’s weird
how seeing the final play
as time expired to beat
Lincoln-Way West and
end its season stopped me
in my tracks.
I have no hand in the
vaping
From Page 10
Those in attendance will
learn of the hazards and
risks related to vaping. In
addition, the panelists will
discuss the types of vaping
that teens and adults are
doing. As well as:
• Share personal stories
about those affected by
lung illness associated with
vaping.
• Provide Will County
and State of Illinois statistical
data regarding lung illness
cases associated with
vaping.
• Share information

are doing about this

legislation.
• Share prevention strategies

game, no family playing
on the team, but I still
feel for those kids that
saw their season end in
the blink of an eye. That’s
how it goes. The nine
weeks of the season go
by quicker than you think
and then the playoffs can
come and go, too.
It’s hard not to feel for
those kids and be involved
in the excitement of the
game. I’m there for work,
but an exciting sports
game is an exciting sports
game and heartbreak loss
is a heartbreak loss.
Covering that game, I
was in disbelief that the
final pass as time expired
was caught. The players
froze, the fans froze
and even I froze and all I
could say is “wow.”
The players will be
over it in a couple weeks,
In addition to the presentation
at 7 p.m., the Will
County Health Department,
Linden Oaks Behavioral
Health, and HERO
(Heroin Epidemic Relief
Organization) will have
informational tables set-up
for guests to visit. These
organizations will have
information and literature
on vaping to share with
guests from 6:30-7 p.m. in
the atrium just outside the
auditorium.
There will also be vaping
devices on display for
parents to see the different
looks of them,
“If I had a teen that I was
concerned about, I would
go and get as much information
as I can,” Martin
said

maybe once the playoffs
come to an end and a
champion is crowned, but
the loss does sting. I wrote
an editorial at the beginning
of the season talking
about the special bond
there is on a high school
football team.
Some of them will go
on to play other sports
with a different group,
some are coming up
through the program still,
but some are graduating,
ending their high school
football career.
From the time the game
ended, no more than 15
minutes went by until the
Warriors walked off the
field and into the locker
room before getting on the
bus. Just like that, a season
comes and goes, but
for those 10 weeks, it’s
some of the most exciting
for those players on the
team and their parents.
The reactions and
emotions after that game
showed how much high
school football really
means. The toughest guys
on the team even have
tears in their eyes. There
is just something about
high school football.

NL 8-year-old collects 115 coats for coat drive

Sean Hastings, Editor
Throughout October, the
New Lenox Police Department
collected coats for its
11th annual “Cops Care
Coat Drive.”
The NLPD teamed up
with New Lenox School
District 122 to “impress
upon the youth of our community
the value of demonstrating
good character and
helping others.”
Nelson Prairie thirdgrader
Brooke Martenz has
that figured out. Whether it
is telling her father to pay
for the person behind them
in the drive-thru, or buying
hot chocolate for the
school’s crossing guards
during the winter, 8-yearold
Brooke is always looking
out for others.
So why would the coat
drive be any different?
“I heard about the coat
drive and I just wanted to
help people so they can
stay warm in the winter,”
Brooke said.
Brooke collected 115
coats in 26 days. She went
around her neighborhood
asking if people wanted to
donate to the coat drive and
when it was time to bring
in the coats, she got in the
truck with her grandpa Tom
Cellini and went around
picking up the bags of coats
off people’s doorsteps.
She also gave everyone
who donated a hand-written
thank you card.
“I was all for it,” said her
mother, Keri. “We were
excited and I remember 24
for some reason. ‘We have
24 coats.’ And then we
asked when we were going
to hit 50 and then she
hit 50 and the next thing
you know, ‘oh my gosh
Brooke, you’re going to hit
100 coats.’”
Brooke takes the bus to
school most days, so when
the day came to drop off a
bulk of the coats, grandpa
had to drive her to school.
Police Officer Paul Simon,
who also is the school
resource officer, assisted
with the coat drive and was
at Nelson Prairie the day
Brooke and Cellini dropped
off some of the coats.
“I pulled up next to him, I
parked illegally next to him
at the school and he kind of
just looked at me and said
‘Do you have coats?’ and
I said this makes 105. He
couldn’t believe it,” Cellini
said.
“Paul Simon, he’s a
phenomenal guy. He’s a
life-changer for the kids. I
watched her face when he
was talking to her and she
was so into what he was
telling her and explaining
to her about taking care of
one another. It was crazy.”
And if there is one person
who preaches taking care
of one another more than
Brooke, it’s Simon, who
has become best known
for teaching the spirit of
Aloha, having spent time in
Hawaii.
Simon added that he was
excited to see that Brooke
took what she learned in
her classroom about being
supportive of one another
and truly lived it.
And to help with that,
Simon always has seashells
on him that he bought
and gives to the students.
Brooke already collects
shells on her own, so that
was extra special.
Brooke said she had not
had a chance to officially
meet Simon until that day,
but their encounter was
overwhelming for Simon.
“I thanked her and explained
that she was an
inspiration to us and the
school and PD,” Simon
said. “We hadn’t see that
level of dedication from
any individual student. It
was the first time I had seen
it at that level.”
That dedication earned
Brooke a trip to the police
station — for good reasons.
“I got a lot of ‘thank
yous,’” she said. “They
said they were really proud
of me.”
She also wrote thank you
cards to Simon and Deputy
Chief Louis Alessandrini.
“Just looking at the card
now, I will keep it forever,”
Simon said. “I’ve been an
officer for almost 22 years
and I’ve seen good and
bad and this is exactly why
I love this job. You can’t
look at something like this
and not smile.”
But Brooke is no stranger
to kind gestures.
Another moment of inspiration
for Cellini came
when Brooke said she
wanted to light a candle for
her other grandpa, who she
never really got to meet, at
The Grotto at the University
of Notre Dame. The
Grotto is a place where
people can reflect and light
candles for loved ones.
Brooke and her family
were at Notre Dame because
when she’s not busy
collecting coats, she spends
four-to-seven nights a week
swimming. Four of those
practicing and sometimes
three meets a week.
She said Notre Dame is
her favorite place she has
swam.
She’s been swimming
for three years — six seasons
— and can outswim
everyone in her family,
including Cellini, who she
beat in a race this summer.
Brooke hated swimming
when she first started, Keri
said. Brooke swims with
the Lincoln-Way Gators.
And as excited as Brooke
was to talk about how much
she loved swimming, that
same smile and excitement
resonated as she talked
about helping people with
the coat drive this winter.
And with winter on its
way — already here, actually
— there are 115 people
in the area who are going
to be able to stay warm because
of her.
Cellini was with her
every step of the way, including
the morning visit
to NLPD. He said he’s a
pretty tough guy — he’s
cried at a few funerals —
but admitted that Brooke
makes him tear up four or
five times a week with what
comes out of her mouth.
“At 8 years old she’s doing
this,” he said. “I was
Brooke Martenz, 8, poses for a photo with officer Paul
Simon the day she dropped off coats at Nelson Prairie
for the Cops Care Coat Drive. Photo Submitted
talking to her. She’s got
it made. She’s got good
parents, her dad is a hardworking
man. I told her,
‘Can you imagine having
it where mom and dad
There’s no cost to you!
(855) 864-1539
! We’re paid by our partner communities
can’t buy you a coat? Some
kid, some man and some
lady are going to get these
coats and they are going to
be warm.’ It’s amazing. ...
She’s my best bud.”

Members of the Lincoln-Way Chorale rehearse part of their performance on Oct. 21
led by Elise’ Greene. The group is preparing for its performance Nov. 17, which will
celebrate 25 years since being founded. Lee Cruz/22nd Century Media
The Lincoln-Way Area
Chorale is diligently preparing
for its annual holiday
concert, titled “Silver
Sounds of the Season” as
the organization is celebrating
its 25th anniversary
this year.
The chorale is comprised
of more than 80
members and is led under
the direction of Artistic
Director Elise’ Greene.
On certain selections at
the concert, the group will
be joined in song by the
children’s choirs from St.
Francis of Assisi Church
in Orland Park and St. Anthony’s
Church in Frankfort,
and will receive string
and wind instrument accompaniment
from band
members of the three Lincoln-Way
High Schools.
Some of the musical selections
will include “The
Christmas Song,” “I’ll Be
Home for Christmas,” “It’s
the Most Wonderful Time
of the Year,” “Joy to the
World,” “Shepherd’s Pipe
Carol,” “Angelic Christmas
Fanfare,” “Jingle Bells,”
“God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,”
“Canticle of Winter,”
“Christmas Bells,”
“Christmas on Broadway,”
“Winter Wind,”
“Have Yourself a Merry
Little Christmas,” “O Holy
Night,” and “Silent Night.”
As Greene leads the
chorale through rehearsal,
one can easily recognize
the high level of enthusiasm
that she has for serving
in that role. She keeps
the members on task and
the session moving fluidly.
When she stops to improve
the group’s pronunciation
of a word, transition between
lines, or pace during
a portion of a song, she
shares clear examples that
help the members quickly
understand how to execute
those adjustments.
She is positive and encouraging
while aiding
the chorale in elevating
their skills, and she offers
affirmations when the
members produce good
results. She occasionally
reminds the group to demonstrate
good energy and
emotion through subtle facial
expressions and body
language, and she consistently
models that in the
way she carries herself
throughout the rehearsal.
She helps create a spirited
atmosphere by integrating
good-natured humor
throughout her instruction.
Her style generates a dynamic
that the chorale responds
to well and makes
the members eager to polish
their performance.
Representing more than
a dozen local towns, and
with an age range from
nearly 20 years old to nearly
90 years old, the chorale
has continually sustained a
healthy number of members
through the years
since its inception, and
participation is expected to
grow next year as several
community members have
expressed interest in joining
the group.
That is encouraging
news to Greene, who has
relished in her experience
directing the chorale.
Greene was selected as the
organization’s Artistic Director
last year after serving
as a music teacher for
38 years.
The position allows her
to continue involvement
in music and conducting,
which is one element that
she finds fulfilling. Moreover,
she considers the
relationships she builds
with the chorale members
extremely rewarding.
“I am really enjoying
getting to know so many
really beautiful people,”
she said. “The longer I’m
with them, the more I realize
how wonderful they
are. They’ve all come to
the group from a different
path or for a different reason,
and it’s really interesting
to hear their stories
of what led them here or
when they started to sing,”
Greene feels that a community
choir can provide
a meaningful experience
to its members beyond offering
an opportunity to
perform music. She noted
that, in today’s society
many people do not know
their own neighbors well
or at all, so an organization
like a community choir at
least gives them a chance
to connect with others who
reside in the local area on a
weekly basis.
“They know each others’
lives, they know each
others’ families, and they
become such dear friends,”
she said. “They share a love
of music and a love of singing.
When you go through
a performance experience
with somebody, there’s
something that bonds you
together in a really unique
way. So, besides the fact
that it’s all these people
coming together to create
this beautiful music and being
really satisfied on that
level, they’re also being
satisfied on a personal level
with involvement in this
choir community.”
With the whole chorale
rehearsing once a week and
the individual sections of
it practicing once a month
since mid-August, the
group has refined its performance
to produce a high
quality holiday program.
Greene said the chorale’s
dedicated effort is reflected
in the audiences’ reactions
to the performances.
“If they haven’t heard
us before, I think they’re
shocked,” Greene said.
“They’re not expecting
that kind of sound from
a community choir. It’s a
wonderful thing to hear.
Hopefully they’re very entertained.
To leave in a better
place than when they
came in, to leave feeling
uplifted, happy, and joyful:
that’s what they should
feel when they leave a
concert,” she stated.
The “Silver Sounds of
the Season” concert will
be performed on 3 p.m.,
Sunday, Nov. 17, at the
Lincoln-Way East High
School Fine Arts Auditorium,
201 Colorado Avenue,
Frankfort. Tickets are $18
for adults, $16 for seniors
and students, and at a special
rate for groups of 10
or more, and may be purchased

or via phone at (815) 469-

Be Brave Mom: Giving an attitude of gratitude
Rebecca Barker
Contributing Columnist
It’s that time of year
when you just completed
collecting too
much candy and the excitement
of Halloween has
dwindled like that very
large candy supply. Before
you begin to gear up for
Christmas, don’t forget to
be thankful.
As a mom there are
never enough minutes
in the day to get everything
done. When I begin
to think of the holiday
season, the to-do lists
collide into a mass stream
that rivals Santa Claus’
naughty and nice list.
But this month, we need
to pause and be grateful.
Instilling gratitude in kids
can also be daunting, but
if you make it fun, a little
inventory of appreciation
can be something to be
thankful for, too.
Each year we like to
decorate our playroom
walls with leaves and
write or draw whatever it
is we are thankful for on
them. It’s something we
do together at the end of
the year, so the kids make
some as well as mom and
dad. Animal toys, nights
with no homework and
bananas made the list
this year, but I also added
everyday appreciation
for jumping in leaves,
warm blanket snuggles
and movie marathons as a
family. I kept my gratefulness
for long nap times,
clean sheets and takeout
Harrison and Maya help decorate annual pumpkin pie.
Baking together is always something to be thankful for.

dinners to myself.
Of course being filled
with gratitude this time of
year is often accompanied
by the fullness of feasting.
Our family loves getting
together with extended
family to celebrate, commiserate
and eat. My
specialty dish is the pumpkin
pie and the kids love
to help me dream up the
silly or festive decorations
that adorn the top. Baking
together the day before
Thanksgiving is definitely
a family tradition, and we
never forget to serve it up
with extra Cool Whip on
top.
Keeping with an attitude
of gratitude, our family
combines all the fun by
making a Christmas fun
list to include collecting
food for our local New
Lenox Township Food
Pantry and making our
annual donations to Toys
for Tots.
New Lenox Township
Food Pantry, 1100
S. Cedar Road, accepts
donations year round; you
can call (815) 485-6431
for more information or
visit newlenox.org/familyservices.
I helped my
son’s classroom run a food
drive through the month
of December to donate
last year. Toys for Tots accepts
new unwrapped toys
Nov. 1 through Dec. 5. We
usually choose to pick up
toys at a local store and
drop them off at the New
Lenox Fire Department on
Route 30, soon followed
by a celebration of hot
chocolate.
This year we are also
going to participate in Big
Brothers Big Sisters of
Will County Adopt a Family
program, where you
can contact BBBSWC to
match you with a family
of your size and budget
to provide gifts for the
holiday. The program runs
from Nov. 1 through Dec.
9, and you can sign up
anytime by calling (815)
723-2227. This program
combines some of my
favorite holiday activities,
giving back, shopping and
wrapping.
BBBSWC also is accepting
sponsor donors for
their Breakfast with Santa
program to ensure all kids
have a gift this holiday
season. Both programs
focus on toys and needs
for the kids to ensure that
donations are both fun and
helpful. I am looking forward
to shopping with my
kids to pick out just the
right gifts and starting off
our holiday season with an
attitude of gratitude.
Sometimes the adventure
your most thankful
for is the lesson you as
a mom are able to instill
in your kids. Never be
afraid to try a little extra
kindness and spread more
love than worry, be brave
mom, it’s worth it.
I’m Rebecca Barker… mom
of two, wife and writer. I’ve
lived in New Lenox most of
my life and excited to share
some of the adventures that
go along with being a mom.

Mom. For more follow me @

Sometimes there’s an

For these little notes, I

My house is an array of

Such a wonderful display
to show you I’ve lost it.
Reminders for this and
reminders for that.
If I did not have them, I’d
remember jack squat.
I love my “well-noted” art

Notes of all colors, so
entertaining to see ‘em.
This way I’ll remember to
mail a card.

just to show my
regard.

An X-ray date here, a

A trip to the bank so my
bills aren’t a snare.
Without all my notes, I
might lose my mind.
This way in no time its
contents I’d find.
Notes on my table, my
desk, and my door.
On my fridge, in my car,
on my mirrors for sure.
Of course, one day running
errands in my car.
My note system failed,
and I didn’t get far
Because there was laughter

The Dish
Coom’s Corner boasts homemade recipes, family-friendly atmosphere
Abhinanda Datta
Assistant Editor
Guests may visit this restaurant
hoping to meet former Major
League Baseball player Ron
Coomer, but the delicious food
and convivial ambience are what
keep them coming back.
Coom’s Corner opened its
doors to Lockport in March
2018, boasting a family-friendly
atmosphere where people can
watch the games they enjoy,
while munching on upscale bar
food such as burgers, wings and
pizza.
“Ron and his partners wanted
a place where folks could come
in and hang out, watch the ball
game,” manager Candy McWilliams
said. “It is a place for everyone.”
Coomer joined a few of his
former teammates from Lockport
baseball to start this venture
and be part of the community in
which he was raised.
The place was already popular
among sports fans, but as chef
Dean McWilliams took charge
of the kitchen, food lovers began
to frequent Coom’s Corner to try
his unique recipes.
“He used the menu that we already
had here and put his own
special twist on them, introducing
fresh ingredients and making
everything from scratch,” Candy
said. “He dislikes anything frozen,
so he wants everything to be
his own recipe. He is really great
at spicing things up.”
That holds true for the Ballpark
Nachos ($13), a popular
appetizer with a savory blend of
beef, queso, lettuce, pico, cheese
and more. The dish has a special
kick to it because of the poblano
and jalapeno peppers.
Candy said she started during
the restaurant’s first year, when
she met Coomer and realized
that “he was a genuine person
and someone I would like to
work for.”
“It has been a really great experience
so far, but as with any

restaurant business, it has also
been quite challenging,” she
said. “We always have to come
up with new ideas to bring people
in, especially during the slow
periods.”
She usually employs the use of
social media to engage people,
but this year the restaurant also
decided to launch a new menu.
“Change is always good, and
I think people are a little bored
of the same menu,” Candy said.
“It is important to keep evolving,
and now we will offer more options.”
Launching at the end of this
year, the new menu will have a
host of additions. One item about
which Candy said she is particularly
excited is Pubstix ($13)
— a three-cheese blend with tomatoes,
roasted garlic and fresh
basil, enclosed within a fried egg
roll skin, served with an arrabbiata
dipping sauce.
“Dean started this back at his
old work place, and it is one of
his own recipes,” she said. “It is
still very popular there.”
She also said guests have been
asking for more dinner entree
options, and those will be added,
including pork chops and a chargrilled
chicken dinner.
Another item to which diners
can look forward is the Walking
Dilla ($9), which has lightly
smoked chicken, pepper, cilantro,
cheese and lime rolled in a
crispy flour tortilla.
The new dishes will not replace
old favorites.
“We sell a lot of appetizers,
such as the boneless chicken
wings [$11] and our pizzas and
burgers are also well-liked,”
Candy said. “Our menu isn’t
very big, because I think giving
too many options can be confusing.
But whatever we have
is quite different from regular
sports bar food.”
While most go for the Coom’s
Call ($10.95) — the standard
burger — some try the more innovate
Grand Slam ($15.95), a
burger patty tucked between two
grilled cheeses sandwiches.
This year, Candy also is adding
a list of special seasonal drinks,
and fall specials are available
through December. One of the
cocktails on that list is the Candy
Corn Martini ($6), that has
candy corn-infused Tito’s vodka
and butterscotch. Those with a
penchant for refreshing flavors
can try the Fall Over Mule ($6)
with gin, ginger beer, apple and
lemon juices.
“This is the first time I’m
introducing these, and I hope
they do very well, because there
The Coom’s Call burger ($10.95) is a combination of burger patty,
lettuce, pickle and ranch dressing on a brioche bun.
is something for everyone,”
Candy said. “Domestic beer is
always popular, and it is quite
common. But, earlier this year,
I prepared a new cocktail, and
people seemed to love it. So,
now I plan to have a winter specials,
as well.”
Lockport is flushed with great
eateries, but according to Candy,
this restaurant has “top-notch
food.”
“What we serve is of a higher
quality,” she said. “It is not just
thrown in a fryer and put on a
plate. The chef spends a lot of
time on the sauces and pays a
lot of attention to them. We always
see people coming in and
celebrating something together.
That’s what I enjoy seeing, and
that’s what we strive to do.”

Distinctive Home Builders Introduces New Craftsman Homes
In Manhattan, Peotone, and Joliet – 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 two story, 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 two
story 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, two
to 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 andWestGate
Manor can accommodate a threecar
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 has two early
delivery homes available at its
newest community, Cedar Creek
in Joliet where you can choose
your colors now and move in 45
days. One is a three-bedroom
Princeton ranch with two full
baths in an open floor plan with
kitchen and Great Room. Priced
at $289,990 this home has over
$20,000 in free upgrades. The
second home is a Brentwood
three-bedroom raised ranch with
an oversized garage. Priced at
$279,900, this home features
many interior and exterior
architectural details and over
$30,000 in free upgrades.

Athlete of the Week
10 Questions
Justin Darlage is a senior
on the Lincoln-Way West
soccer team.
How long have you
been playing soccer
and how did you get
started?
I started playing soccer
when I was 5. My older
sister [Bri] played, she’s a
senior in college now [on
the soccer team at Lindenwood-Belleville].
I’d
go watch her games and I
wanted to play. I followed
in her footsteps.
What do you like most
about soccer?
I like the competitive
nature of it. Every day
there’s a chance to win
because you’re always
competing against someone:
your own teammates,
other teams, anybody.
What do you think
makes you a strong
player?
I feel like my work ethic
is a big part of it. I think I
have pretty good technical
ability and my athleticism
helps a lot, too.
Are you planning to
play in college?
Yeah, I definitely want
to play in college but I
don’t know where yet. I’m
still looking.
How have you tried
to step up as a senior
leader?

RANDY WHALEN
Freelance Reporter
Lincoln-Way Central is
excited about its postseason
potential.
The Knights put together
a strong showing in their
home pool at the SouthWest
Suburban Conference meet
Saturday, Nov. 2, scoring
212 points to finish second
behind Lincoln-Way East
(289).
Lincoln-Way West (209)
was third, followed by
Sandburg (179), Lockport
Township (139), Stagg
(101), Homewood-Flossmoor
(99), Andrew (93),
and Bradley-Bourbonnais
(38).
The Knights captured the
final event of the meet, the
400-yard freestyle relay to
vault into second. Autumn
Hufnagl, Sierra Maze, Madi
Jager, and Keara McGowan
(3 minutes, 44.04 seconds)
edged East (3:44.78) by less
than a second.
McGowan, a junior, also
won the 200 free by seven
seconds with a time of
1:55.22.
McGowan (1:00.06) was
a close second in the backstroke.
Not bad since the
200-free and backstroke
aren't even events that she
will do in the sectional.
"It was a new experience,
but it was nice," McGowan
said. "I'm happy. We were
trying to go all out and practice
our race strategy. I'm going
to do the 50 and 100 free
in the sectional, the same as
last year. The goal is to get
back to state [she just missed
making the final day in both
events last fall]. We've all
worked so hard all season
and supported each other."
Lincoln-Way West’s Lea Moeller swims at the
SouthWest Suburban Conference meet Saturday, Nov.
2. Moeller won the 50-yard freestyle and 100 free.
ADAM JOMANT/22ND CENTURY MEDIA
Hufnagl (5:29.54) placed
second in the 500 free.
Abigail Hawksworth
(3rd, 399.70), and Rebekkah
Schimick (5th, 379.80)
got the Knights off to a fast
start in diving held Friday,
Nov. 1.
West junior Lea Moeller
set a new pool record by
leading off the 200 free relay
with a leg of 23.8 seconds.
Even though it was in
a relay, it counts as a record
since it was off the block.
The previous pool record
was 23.81 in 2016 by West’s
Caitlyn Schreiber.
"She just missed the record
at the Lincoln-Way
Central Invite earlier this
year, so I anticipated her
getting it [at the conference
finals]," West coach Eric
Pavlacka said. "The record
won't last long, though. I
expect her to improve on it
when we go back to Central
for the sectional."
That record-breaking performance
helped the Warriors
win the 200 free relay
with Moeller, Teagan Zack,
Kasey Fris, and Amelia Dellamano
(1:39.56).
Fris, Bella Cichon, Dellamano,
and Moeller (1:51.03)
placed second in the 200
medley relay.
Moeller won the 50 free
(23.87) and the 100 free
(52.56).
Cichon (1:08.68) was second
in the 100 breaststroke.
It was the 500 free that
churned out the story of the
day for Fris, who is also a
junior. She won the event by
over 16 seconds with a time
5:13.20. It was only her third
time this season swimming
the event and she set a new
school record by six seconds
over the previous one by
Emily Gallagher (5:19).
"I was amazed, I was
like, ‘Wow!’” Fris said.
"This meet was going to
decide if I swam [the 500]
in the sectional, and I guess
so, I am. I swam it twice in
the middle of the year and
did well there. This is only
the third time I've done it.
"I was in a lot of events
[at conference] but it was
worth it. I had a rough
season last year but now I
know what to do and have
done well."
I’ve tried to be the guy
that people can look to
when they need help with
something, or if they need
motivation to get them
going. If they need pointers
or anything like that, I
try to help with that. I just
try to help people get on
board and find a way to
win.
What have you
learned from coach
Matt Laude?
I’ve learned a lot off the
field. Everything on the
field has been good, too,
but the off-the-field stuff
is really important. How
you act is key, you always
want to make sure you’re
very respectful and you’re
a good person off the field.
If you could be
anybody else for a
day, who would you
want to be?
Cristiano Ronaldo.
He’s probably one of the
best soccer players in the
world, and with how famous
he is, how much
Steve Millar/22nd Century Media
money he has, the level
that he plays at and his talent,
it’d be cool to experience
all that.
What is your favorite
TV show?
Probably “Friends.” I
think it’s hilarious.
If you could be any
superhero, which
would you want to
be?
Probably Iron Man. He
can fly, he’s super sprong.
He can pretty much do everything.
If you could travel
anywhere in the
world, where you
want to go?
Probably London. I
could watch Premier
League games. Five of
the biggest teams are right
there in London. My favorite
team is Manchester
City.

Local runner shares milestone marathon with his daughter
STEVE MILLAR, Sports Editor
For Mokena’s Mike
Kenny, running marathons
has developed into a passion
that continually pushes
him to do more.
Kenny, who runs locally
with the Frankfort/New
Lenox Running Club and
Yankee Runners, has ran
races all over the United
States. As he approached
his 100th marathon,
though, there was still one
thing high on his bucket
list that he had yet to do:
run one with one of his
children.
That changed at the Chicago
Marathon on Oct.
13. Mike Kenny, 56, ran
his 24th straight Chicago
Marathon and his 100th
marathon overall, and his
26-year-old daughter Erin
ran alongside him for her
first marathon.
“We had a fantastic
race,” Mike Kenny said.
“We ran the whole thing
together, never had to walk
the whole way, so it was
really a great race.
“It was phenomenal.
Out of the 100 marathons
i’ve run, this was by far
the best, because I had my
daughter with me.”
Erin Kenny has known
for a long time of her father’s
desire to have one
of his kids run a marathon
with him, but she had never
ran a race longer than a
5K when she came up with
the idea to surprise Mike
last Christmas.
“Ever since me and my
siblings were younger,
my dad wanted us to run
a marathon with him,”
Erin said. “All of us were
not really runners, and it
was like, ‘That’s probably
not going to happen.’ But
when I knew he was going
to be going for his 100th,
I thought it would be a
good time to try to do it for
him.”
It was a tremendous
Christmas present for
Mike Kenny.
“I’ve been asking my
kids to do it with me for
about 12 years,” he said.
“Erin surprised me on
Christmas and told me she
entered the lottery for the
Chicago Marathon and got
in. I’ve been elated since
then to have the opportunity
to run with her.”
Erin Kenny now lives
in downtown Chicago and
is in nursing school at the
University of Chicago, but
she came home to Mokena
to run with her father as often
as possible while training
for the marathon.
“He told me everything
about it and completely
prepared me for the race,”
Erin said.
Still, the mental aspects
of the marathon were even
more challenging than
Erin expected.
“It was a surreal experience,”
she said. “It was
difficult during the race.
You get to mile 16 or 17
and it’s tough mentally to
make yourself run longer
than that. You hit a wall.
But my dad helped me
push through. He usually
runs faster than me, but he
stayed back with me so we
could go through the whole
experience together.”
Erin ran with a small
sign on her shirt that said
her dad was running in
his 100th marathon. Mike
ran with one that said his
daughter was running in
her first.
“People would see the
signs and were congratulating
him and he’d say,
‘I’m living a dream because
I’m running with
my daughter.’” Erin said.
“That just pushed me even
Erin (left) and Mike Kenny ran the Chicago Marathon
together Oct. 13. It was Mike’s 100th marathon and the
first for his daughter, Erin. Photo submitted
harder to finish.”
When the father and
daughter crossed the finish
line together, both had
accomplished something
they once thought would
be unattainable.
“This became a goal two
or three years ago, I started
focusing on it,” Mike
Kenny said. “Last year
in Chicago was my 90th.
I wanted to do my 100th
at home, so I decided I’d
make this one my 100th,
and I had to do nine marathons
in between.
“One hundred is a number
that when I started
doing this, I never anticipated
getting to. So, to do
it and to get to do it with
my daughter, it’s just indescribable
how good the
feeling was.”
Mike Kenny’s marathon
journey will certainly continue.
He planned to run
the New York Marathon
for the first time on Sunday,
Nov. 3.
Erin? Put her down as a
maybe.
“Will I run one again?
That’s the question of the
year now,” she said. “I
think I will, but I’m going
to wait until I finish

school. So, maybe 2021.”
Either way, Erin helped
fulfil one of her father’s
dreams, and the 2019 Chicago
Marathon is one the
Kenny family will never
forget.
“Running means so
much to me and out of my
100 races, none mean more
to me than this one,” Mike
Kenny said. “To be able
to do it with Erin, and to
get the support I received
from my family and all my
friends is overwhelming.”

Heartbreaker: LW West loses on final play
SEAN HASTINGS, Editor
It was as if time stood
still as Phillips quarterback
Antonio Brown’s pass to
Ronald Pledger in the back
of the end zone floated
through the air as the horn
— the only sound in the
stadium — rang throughout
Gately Stadium signaling
the end of the game.
Pledger came down
with the pass for a 22-yard
touchdown on the final
play of the game, stunning
Lincoln-Way West and
lifting Phillips to a 30-24
win in a Class 7A firstround
game on Saturday,
Nov. 2.
The Phillips fans, coaches
and players erupted,
while West’s fans, coaches
and players stood still and
silent.
The Warriors (5-5) were
left in disbelief that the
game they stormed back
to tie after being down two
touchdowns in the fourth
quarter, did not end in their
favor.
“We had so many ups
and downs, wins and
losses, but it brought us together
a lot,” West senior
Billy Dozier said. “I just

Three Stars of the Game:
1. Ronald Pledger, Phillips, senior receiver --- Game-winning
22-yard touchdown catch on final play
2. Billy Dozier, LW West, senior receiver/running back --- Two
touchdown runs
3. Quentin Villa, LW West, sophomore tight end --- 5-yard
touchdown catch
didn’t expect it to end this
soon and be the last week.”
West scored six seconds
into the fourth quarter
on sophomore tight end
Quentin Villa’s 5-yard
touchdown catch on a
play-action pass from
Evan Wydajewski.
Then with 9:31 left in
the game, Dozier broke off
a 56-yard touchdown run
to tie the game 24-24.
Dozier also had a 1-yard
touchdown run in the third
quarter on a drive that was
kept alive after a Phillips
player committed an unsportsmanlike
penalty on
a play that should have resulted
in fourth down.
West’s other score was a
35-yard field goal from senior
kicker Damian Chowaniec.
Dozier took snaps at
running back and wide receiver
after the Warriors
lost starting running back
Caleb Marconi to injury in
Week 8, another obstacle
for the Warriors to deal
with in a turbulent season.
West played with a new
life in the second half and
that was in part due to the
vocal leadership of Griffin
Ketelaar, senior linebacker
and captain.
“I got a little riled up at
halftime with screaming
and stuff,” Ketelaar said.
“But I think everyone got
the message.”
Phillips’ first score came
on a 77-yard touchdown
pass that got tipped by
the intended receiver and
caught by another just a
few yards further up the
field.
A play like that can be
called lucky, but it counts
nonetheless and West had
to claw its way back from
it.
Ketelaar was proud of
how the younger players
responded in the second
half.
“They were into it just
as much as we were knowing
that they have two
more years and they were
unselfish,” he said. “But
we weren’t able to pull
through in the end, but the
effort was there for sure.”
One of those younger
players is sophomore defensive
back Justin Harris,
who was in on the coverage
on the final play, making
a great effort to bat the
ball down.
Harris also had an interception
in the end zone
earlier in the game, giving
West fans just a glimpse of
what the secondary looks
like for the next two years.
Ernst has always been
impressed by Harris.
“Justin will bounce

defense from Lincoln-Way West’s Justin Harris, on the

back,” Ernst said. “He’s
a competitor. He doesn’t
care if you’re playing
checkers, he’s going to
try and beat you. He’ll be
back.”
Ernst added that part of
Harris’ growth will come
from looking up to Ketelaar
and senior defensive
lineman Matt Nevin and
seeing how they approach
the game.
Ketelaar said he will be
back for games next year
to see how much the secondary
grows into being
juniors.
After the game, Ketelaar
told his fellow defenders
that they’re all going to be
all-stars next year.
Ketelaar and Dozier
are two players who felt
the heartbreak after last
year’s second-round loss
to Simeon, but knew they
had another year to make
a run. But like Dozier said,
it went by much faster than
he thought. Now he is in the
position his senior teammates
were in last year.
“Just cherish the time
you have here and don’t
take anything for granted,”
Dozier said. “It can end really
fast.”
Our staff’s predictions for the top games in Week 2 of the playoffs
Just two teams left from the land of 22nd
Century Media. So, both of them will be featured
as our Games of the Week. What a great time
of the year!

• LWE 40, Notre Dame 17. On paper,
this sounds like a pretty good game.
On the field, it may not be so pretty.
• Crete-Monee 36, Providence 29. This
has the makings of a shootout but
the Warriors will squeak it out.
• LWE 34, Notre Dame 10. Griffins

20. Celtics pull off the upset at
home to knock off the previously
undefeated Warriors.
Steve Millar |
Sports Editor
• LWE 31, Notre Dame 10. Despite
some key injuries, the Griffins are
still too deep, too determined and
too good for the Dons.
• Crete-Monee 26, Providence 24.
The Celtics will be Crete-Monee’s
first real test all year, but the Warriors
have experience pulling off
close playoff wins from last year’s
run to the 6A title game.
• LWE 31, Notre Dame 17. Offense

undefeated.
• Providence 17, Crete-Monee 14.
Celtics end Crete’s undefeated
season with upset, but comes down

Kreis wins sectional; LW Central boys and girls state-bound
STEVE MILLAR, Sports Editor
Lincoln-Way Central
senior Jared Kreis wanted
to test himself at the Class
3A Normal Sectional on
Saturday, Nov. 2.
Running seven days before
the state meet, Kreis
decided to push harder
than he did at the regional
race and get more of a feel
for how he might run at
state.
The Duke recruit certainly
passed the test. Kreis
pulled away from Lincoln-
Way East’s Brett Gardner
to win the sectional title
by over 22 seconds with a
time of 14 minutes, 38.65
seconds at Maxwell Park
in Normal.
“Obviously, it was good
to race with Brett and I
made a move up the hill
and I think that kind of
cracked him a little bit,”
Kreis said. “It was a good
race on my end, and he ran
well, too.
“Individually, it was just
a nice fitness test right before
the state meet.”
Kreis helped the Knights
advance to state as a team
for the second time in three
years. Central (117 points)
finished third behind Minooka
(70) and Yorkville
(104).
The state meet is set for
Saturday, Nov. 9, at Detweiller
Park in Peoria.
“Team-wise, we knew
we had a shot [to make
state], but I think we exceeded
our expectations by
taking third,” Kreis said.
“We all ran well and obviously
for next week we're
excited."
Caden Simone (18th,
15:53), Jay Parker (35th,
16:18.5), Nolan Sams
(36th, 16:22.69) and Kurt
Kreis (40th, 16:26.98)
rounded out the Knights’
scorers. Kurt Kreis is the
freshman brother of Jared.
Jared Kreis was the only
runner in the state to go
under 15 minutes at sectionals.
He will head to
state with the fourth-best
top time in the state.
Lincoln-Way East (161)
also qualified for state as a
team with a fifth-place finish
behind Gardner (2nd,
15:01.1), Nolan Rogers
(15th, 15:49.59), Gerry
Cushing (39th, 16:26.33),
Justin Falejczyk (59th,
16:42.2) and Nolan Enright
(64th, 16:44.14).
“I’m beyond proud,”
Gardner said. “Going into
the season, we thought
there was no way it was
happening. We thought it
was going to be an individual
year.
“But training went really
well. The young guys have
done great. Guys came out
of their shells athletically
and as people. We saw
huge growth from everyone
on the team in general.
I’m super glad I can be a
part of this.”
Rogers is a sophomore,
and Cushing and Falejczyk
are freshmen.
“It’s nice to have a guy
like Brett running in front,
obviously, but the rest
of the guys are so interchangeable
that if one guy
has a tough race, someone
else steps up,” East
coach Ross Widinski said.
“These guys earned this,
for sure.”
The Lincoln-Way Central
girls, meanwhile, are
also going to state after a
fourth-place finish. The
Knights (145) finished
behind Yorkville (30), Minooka
(53) and O’Fallon
(128).
“It’s phenomenal seeing
how far we’ve come
as a team,” senior Rachel
Baumgartner said. “It’s a
real confidence booster.”
Junior Merrigan Allen
(6th, 18:30.99) and
Baumgartner (10th,
18:37.67) led the way
for Central. Lexy Sams
(39th, 19:36.35), Emma

STEVE MILLAR/22nd Century Media
Olson (47th, 19:50.81) and
Colleen Erdman (50th,
19:52.81) also contributed.
“It felt really good,” Allen
said. “Throughout the
race, I just kept trying to
pass people, catch up to
Rachel. At the end, I was
able to kick there. It seems
like even when I’m tired at
the end of the race, I can
kick.”
Allen’s strong finish
inspired Baumgartner to
close hard and finish in the
top 10 to earn All-Sectional
honors.
“When Merrigan went
by me, that was extra motivation
for me to finish
strong,” Baumgartner said.
“I figured if she can do it, I
can do it.
“To be All-Conference,
All-Regional and All-Sectional
means a lot to me.”
Lincoln-Way East’s
Kate Guderjan (25th,
19:08.69) made it to state
as the final individual
qualifier.
“I thought I had no
chance,” she said. “I was
really upset after. Then I
went over there, my name
was the last one circled [as
a qualifier], and I gave my
family a big hug.”
The Griffins (239) were
eighth, while Lincoln-Way
West (243) finished ninth.
The Warriors were led
by Elise Champlin (40th,
19:36.97) and Gianna
Arizzi (44th, 19:45.19).
Providence’s Kulpinski
qualifies in 2A
Providence junior
Emma Kulpinski (20:38.5)
advanced to the Class 2A
state meet with a 21stplace
finish at the Thornridge
Sectional.

Lights-out Providence rolls to
regional title over Tinley Park
STEVE MILLAR, Sports Editor
Providence sophomore
outside hitter Juliana Warfield
felt the pressure building
leading up to the Class
3A Providence Regional
final against Tinley Park on
Oct. 31.
“I was actually really
nervous, and I think we all
were,” she said. “Once you
get on the court, though, you
kind of settle in and it was
just like, ‘This is our game,
here we go.’”
It certainly was the Celtics’
game. Behind a dominant
all-around performance
from Warfield, Providence
rolled to its fifth straight regional
title with a 25-9, 25-
18 win over Tinley Park in
New Lenox.
The third-seeded Celtics
(22-16) advanced to take
on second-seeded Marian
Catholic (25-10) in a Joliet
Catholic Sectional semifinal
that was scheduled for 6:30
p.m. Monday, Nov. 4.
Warfield was a big reason
why Providence made
it to another sectional. The
sophomore may have been
nervous in pregame, but she
was certainly undaunted by
the big stage.
Seemingly unstoppable
nearly every time she
touched the ball, Warfield
finished with nine kills and
five aces.
“Juliana did a great job,”
Providence coach Jean
Phelps said. “She does all
the time. Once our girls
were able to get in a groove,
they took off.”
Sophomore Kaidence Lydon
added seven kills off the
bench for the Celtics. Senior

3A regional championship win over Tinley Park with

Century Media
Gillian Peterson had six kills
each, and junior Vittoria
Conte added four digs.
Emily Kleffman led Tinley
Park (27-7) with four
kills, adding to her school
record for career kills in
the final match of a brilliant
career. Junior Sam Faricelli
had eight assists.
The Titans hung tough
early in the opening set
and led 6-5, but Providence
scored 13 of the next 14
points to turn it into a blowout.
Warfield was at the service
line for nine straight
Celtics’ points, putting down
three of her aces during the
surge.
“We started playing with
them in the beginning, but
once you get those couple
serves you can get going and
you don’t stop,” Warfield
said. “Serving is probably
one of the most important
things.
“If you serve them hard
and they can’t pass it, can’t
do anything to set up their
offense, that is 100 percent
to our advantage.”

The second set was again
tight early on. After a 10-
10 tie, though, the Celtics
scored six straight points.
Warfield and Peterson had
two kills each to spark the
run.
About the only thing that
went wrong for the Celtics
the entire night was a premature
celebration as a ball was
called out after a bit of a delay
on match point, bringing
the Titans within 24-18 and
forcing the Providence reserves
that had charged onto
the court back to the bench.
Gorys, though, ended it
for real with a thunderous
kill on the next point.
“I was ready to put it down
and end it,” Gorys said. “It
was so exciting. We had so
much motivation to win this.
We came in pumped up and
ready. We’ve been working
so hard in our practices and
we’re ready to fight.
“We played together as a
team really well. Everyone
stepped up and did their job
really well. We just got so
much energy and momentum
going.”
LW Central gets playoff win over
West before falling to Sandburg
STEVE MILLAR, Sports Editor
What turned out to be
Lincoln-Way Central’s final
win of the season was
definitely a fun one for the
Knights.
They drew crosstown rival
Lincoln-Way West for
their playoff opener in a
Class 4A Thornwood Regional
semifinal Oct. 29.
“I really enjoy playing
Lincoln-Way West because
of the rivalry between
all three Lincoln-Way
schools,” junior Rachel
Kolodziej said. “It builds
our team to play better and
be more motivated.”
Central beat West for the
third time this season with
a 25-20, 25-20 victory.
Kolodziej had six kills
and four aces, senior Katie
Barry led with eight kills
and eight digs, while Marissa
Ramirez had seven
assists and seven digs and
Kadynce Woodrum added
seven digs.
Isabella Been led Lincoln-Way
West (11-24)
with seven kills and six
digs. Katie Little added
five kills and six digs,
while Annie Yelnick had
10 assists and Alexa Flores
dished out six.
The eighth-seeded
Knights (18-19) saw their
season end two nights later
with a 25-14, 25-19 loss to
top-seeded Sandburg on
Oct. 31.
In the loss to the Eagles,
Barry led with seven kills
and three digs, Kolodziej
added five kills, three digs
and two aces, and Ramirez
had 14 assists and 11 digs.
Before the seasonending
defeat, though,
the Knights showed their

STEVE MILLAR/22nd Century Media
toughness against West.
In both sets, Central fell
behind but battled back.
The Warriors jumped to
a 5-0 lead in the opener.
“We just tried to talk
together, say we’ve got
the next one, we’re not
going to let this affect us,
and side out right away,”
Barry said. “We knew that
they were going to give us
a game, but we tried to be
consistent and aggressive
with them and put ourselves
in good positions to
score points.”
The Knights took control
with a 7-0 run that immediately
followed a timeout
after West went up 14-13.
Woodrum served during
the surge, including an ace,
and Barry had a big kill.
Central went on another
big run after a timeout in
the second set.
So, it must be coach
Mary Brown’s pep talks?
“I just look mean,”
Brown said. “I don’t have
to say anything, I just give
them the face.”
West ran out to a 10-4
lead in the second set before
the Knights began chipping
away, eventually tying it at
13-13 on a Barry kill.
It was 18-18 before Central
edged ahead for good
with a kill from Maddie
Underhill and a block from
Carli Udovich.
“We felt like it was our
chance to show how powerful
our team is and how
strong we are together,”
Kolodziej said.
The Warriors, meanwhile,
had reasons to be
excited about the future.
West had a young roster
with several exciting players,
including a sophomore
in Been. Flores, a freshman,
got a chance to set in
a postseason match after
senior Hannah Rubin came
down with the flu.
“In my one lineup, it
was all sophomores across
the front row with a freshman
setter [Flores],”
West coach Kendall Villa
said. “I’m proud of them.
They didn’t give up. They
fought for their points and
made some really good
self-corrections. That’s
what I like to see.”

Set for success: Set-piece goals help West win sectional
4
PATRICK Z. MCGAVIN
Freelance Reporter
The game is played so
fast and spontaneously
that rarely does Lincoln-
Way West defender Tyler
Vedder have a moment for
reflection.
This situation was different.
In the 63rd minute,
West’s Justin Darlage
blasted a free kick from
just inside midfield that
curved beautifully as senior
midfielder Drew
Murphy elevated for the
picture-perfect header.
“Chills ran through
my body,” Vedder said.
“I knew we had it in the
bag.”
The Warriors strung
together three set-piece
goals to rewrite history for
the 3-2 victory over Marist
in the Class 3A Lincoln-
Way East Sectional final
Saturday, Nov. 2.
Lincoln-Way West (14-
10) captured the first sectional
title in program history.
The Warriors were set to
play downstate power Edwardsville
(20-4-1) in the
Bradley-Bourbonnais Supersectional
at 6:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Nov. 5.
To coin their own
phrase, three heads are better
than one.
The Warriors scored
on three goals on headers
originating off set pieces
that offset the RedHawks’
dominant advantage in
possession time.
“You can keep possession,
but possession does
not always translate to
goals,” West coach Matt
Laude said. “We knew going
in that they were going
to be a very good team.
They are very a wellcoached
and very wellorganized
team.”
Laude and his top assistant
Marissa Wingate
pored over video footage
of Marist (15-6-5), looking
for areas the Warriors
could exploit.
“We watched probably
20 hours of film leading up
to this game, we were dissecting,
and we saw one of
their weaknesses was dead
balls: corners, free kicks
and throw-ins, so we really
focused on our dead balls,
Laude said.
“We knew we had to
take advantage of those
opportunities.”
Certain narratives have
played out in each of the
four state tournament victories
by the eighth-seeded
Warriors. The principal
one has been the spectacular
play of senior goalkeeper
Chris Zavala.
Just as he did in his
monumental effort in the
3-1 upset of top-seeded
Mount Carmel in the regional
championship, Zavala
played an extraordinary
game against Marist.
He recorded eight saves,
including four astonishing
stops from point-blank
range in the first half as
Marist made repeated forays
inside the Warriors’
box.
Marist controlled up to
80 percent of the possession
time.
“It’s all about execution
and working on reactions
for those point-blank
saves,” Zavala said. “It
helped out with those key
saves in the first half.”
Zavala, who took over
as the starter this year after
the graduation of Connor
O’Shaughnessy, has raised
his game exponentially in
the second half of the season.
“He is immensely determined
and laser-focused,”
Laude said. “He is one of
the funniest people you are
ever going to meet. Once
the whistle blows, he is all
about being focused and
serious on what the game
is all about.
“Chris stood on his
head. He has been standing
on his head this entire
playoff series. To step into
a position because you are
the goalie - everybody is
watching the goalie - he is
playing so phenomenally I
would not want anybody
else standing between my
pipes.”
An inadvertent handball
in the box by a Warriors
defender set up the
opening Marist goal. Joey
Shannon converted the
penalty kick in the 26th
minute for the 1-0 lead.
“We are the type of team
that we always know we
are in the game, no matter
what,” Vedder said. “We
went down 1-0, but we
got that corner and the ball
came out of nowhere.”
Darlage’s creativity and
accuracy on corner kicks
and free kicks proved an
invaluable weapon. He
optimized every serious
threat.
That transcended the
lack of opportunities in the
run of play.
Off a corner on the left
edge in the 32nd minute,
Darlage delivered with
another beautifully placed
serve, and Vedder elevated
to score on a header.
“I’ve always taken free
kicks,” said Darlage, who
scored both goals in the
2-0 sectional semifinal win
over Shepard. “I have always
hit solid balls in the
box. Being left-footed, my
ball comes in a little differently
than somebody who
strikes the ball with their

right foot.
“This year, I have had a
lot of practice with it. Earlier
in the season we struggled
with our set pieces.
Through this state tournament,
we have been very
good and hungry on the set
pieces.”
The game-defining sequence
happened in the
61st minute. A foul inside
the box gave the Red-
Hawks a second penaltykick
opportunity.
Shannon again went
for inside the left corner.
Zavala’s anticipation and
movements threw him
off slightly and the ball
clipped off the near post.
“You are in the mindset
of they have a PK, and you
prepare yourself of going
down in the situation,”
Darlage said. “We have to
change everything. It was
a huge boost momentum
and energy-wise.
“They were down from
missing it, and we took it
to them.”
Less than two minutes
later, Darlage served the
beautiful free kick that
Murphy finished. Newly
energized, West created
further separation in the
71st minute.
On the corner throw-in
from the left wing, midfielder
Miles Hagen set up
midfielder Ryan Towner
for the crucial insurance
goal in the 71st minute.
The only somber note
for West was Murphy being
issued a second yellow
card in the 73rd minute,
forcing the Warriors to
play down a man in the
closing moments.
By state rules, Murphy
is going to be ineligible to
play against Edwardsville.
“We will lick our
wounds from that, and recover,”
Laude said.
Marist forward Ethan
Fit scored in the final 10
seconds. The Warriors
then punched the ball deep
into the other end and began
their celebration.
“Playing defensively the
whole game, everybody
did their part and we took
care of our chances when
we had them,” Darlage
said.
Momentum is everything
in the tournament.
Lincoln-Way West is
playing an elevated and
instinctive style of soccer
that has taken the team to
uncharted heights.
“We went into the playoffs
thinking anything
could happen,” Laude
said. “We are the type of
team easy for other teams
to overlook, and if people
continue to overlook us,
we are going to continue
to turn some heads.
“I told the boys, we go
in, play our game and focus
on what we do, and we
are going to come out with
some victories as we have
shown.”

three notes on
cross country
state finals
1. Among the favorites
LW East senior
Brett Gardner and
LW Central senior
Jared Kreis (above)
are two of the top
contenders in the
boys race. Gardner
has the second best
top time in the state
this year and Kreis
the fourth.
2. Rivalry will continue
Gardner and Kreis
have been friends
and foes, and it will
continue in college.
Kreis is heading to
Duke, while Gardner
will run for ACC
rival North Carolina
State.
3. Girls to watch
The LW Central girls
team will compete
at state. Merrigan
Allen and Rachel
Baumgartner are a
formidable duo at
the front for Central.
Lucas Porto has the size
and speed to be a dominant
receiver, but the 6-foot-5
Providence senior has not
been quite as productive as
he would have liked this
season.
Hungry to have a big
game, Porto and quarterback
Kevin Conway have
been putting in some extra
time together at practice to
make sure they are on the
same page.
“Me and Kevin worked
hard all week to get that
connection going,” Porto
said. “And we had a game.”
Porto had five catches
for 126 yards and two
touchdowns to lead the
visiting Celtics to a 19-14
win over Normal West in a
Class 6A first-round playoff
game Saturday, Nov. 2.
Providence (7-3) moved
on to host 2018 state runner-up
Crete-Monee (10-
0) in the second round.
“Lucas was due for a
breakout game,” Providence
coach Mark Coglianese
said. “I know the
talent that he has. It’s just a
matter of getting the quarterback
some time and taking
some shots with him.
We don’t throw deep very
often, but when we do, I
have all the confidence in
the world in Lucas.”
Conway finished 9-of-
15 passing for 160 yards
and the two touchdowns to
Porto. He also ran 13 times
for 54 yards, including the

go-ahead 11-yard touchdown
in the fourth quarter.
Conway hit Porto for a
32-yard score with 1:07
left in the first half to tie
the game 7-7.
“[Porto] did great,”
Conway said. “We’ve been
running sluggo [routes]
and double moves in practice
and we’ve just been
timing up everything.
“We started slow and we
have to fix that in the second
round, come out fast
right away. But once we
got going, things worked
out. At the end of the day,
we scored more points
than they did and that’s all
that matters.”
The duo hooked up
again on the first play of
the fourth quarter, Conway
finding Porto for a 34-
yard touchdown to put the
Celtics up 13-7. The extra
point was no good.
“I’ve been waiting a
while for this,” Porto said.
“It was a long time coming.”
Normal West (7-3) took
advantage of a short field
after a Providence fumble
on a punt return as Carson
Camp hit LaTre Billups for
a 37-yard touchdown pass.
The extra point gave the
Wildcats a 14-13 lead with
10:47 to go.
Conway, though, provided
some of the biggest
plays of the game with his
feet. First, he ran for an
11-yard touchdown to put
Providence back in front
19-14 with 7:27 to go.
After forcing a punt, the
Celtics got the ball back
with 4:20 left and were
able to run out the clock
as Conway picked up two
huge first downs, running
for 19 yards on thirdand-17
and seven yards on
third-and-5.
“[On the third-and-17],
we were ideally trying to
throw it,” Conway said.

two touchdown catches during the Celtics’ 19-14 win

“We were trying to set up
the wheel route, but I saw
a huge opening and I was
like, I’ve just got to use my
feet here. I did and got the
first down.”
Aaron Vaughn ran for
148 yards on 19 carries for
the Celtics.
Meanwhile, the Providence
defense stepped up
in a big way. With a secondary
decimated by injuries,
the Celtics kept Camp
relatively in check. The
South Dakota recruit was
14-of-26 passing for 136
yards and two touchdowns.
“We let up a big play
here or there, and they’re a
good team so we knew they
were going to get some,”
Coglianese said. “Holding
them to 14 points, I’m
happy with that, especially
the way we’re kind of beat
up.”
Senior linebacker Anthony
Prucha led the way
with two sacks.
“The d-line, linebackers
were all playing harder
and faster,” he said. “We
know we have to be more
physical because we have
some young guys in the
back.
“That just lights that
fire. We came together as a
team and got it done.”
