Tinley Park Village Board 

Members recommend 

construction manager for Fire 

Station 2 remodeling project 

Meredith Dobes 

Freelance Reporter 

The Tinley Park Village 

Board of Trustees made a 

recommendation to staff at 

its Oct. 3 meeting for R.C. 

Wegman Construction Company 

to handle construction 

management for the remodeling 

of Fire Station 2, located 

at 7827 W. 167th Street. 

This decision was made 

after staff received 16 responses 

to a request for 

qualifications, interviewed 

eight of those companies and 

selected two finalists. 

Most of the discussion at 

the Village Board meeting 

involved comparing the two 

finalists side-by-side. 

John Urbanski, assistant 

director of Public Works for 

the Village, said the main differences 

between the companies 

were that one had more 

firehouse construction experience, 

and the other had completed 

more local projects. 

He said it was difficult to 

make an apples-to-apples cost 

comparison of the companies, 

because final costs would be 

dependent on the scope of the 

project. That scope would depend 

on whether the Village 

decides to keep part of the 

current station or demolish 

the whole station, and other 

unknowns, like whether or 

not the Illinois Environmental 

Protection Agency will find 

issues in the soil that the Village 

would have to address, he 

added. 

Fire Chief Forest Reeder 

said he needs a construction 

manager to assist the department 

and the architect to determine 

a best possible model 

that will serve Tinley Park 

now and well into the future. 

Round it up 

A recap of Oct. 3 Village Board action and discussion 

• The Village Board unanimously recognized the 

promotion of Bryan Bishop from police officer to police 

sergeant. 

• Trustees unanimously approved text amendments 

to a zoning ordinance related to vehicle rental, as well 

as text amendments to a zoning ordinance related to 

outdoor sales displays. 

He added that he felt a firm 

with fire station construction 

management experience 

would be most helpful. 

Urbanski said Village staff 

requested the two companies 

use the same dollar amount per 

square foot to try to compare 

them as equally as possible. 

Trustee Michael Glotz 

said he was not sure why 

money was part of the discussion 

at all, because the 

Village Board was supposed 

to select a company based 

on qualifications. Trustee 

Michael Mangin added that 

it is difficult to think about 

money when there is no construction 

plan in place, yet. 

Trustee Michael Pannitto 

said he wanted to see numbers 

to make the best possible 

decision. 

Village Manager David 

Niemeyer said when an RFQ 

is submitted, the Village 

Board should select the company 

that will deliver the 

best project, if the prices are 

close, and then determine 

the details and cost. He said 

the Village recommended 

R.C. Wegman because of its 

fire station experience. 

Glotz added that Wegman 

listed lower staffing costs 

and is the most qualified. 

Glotz made the motion 

to recommend R.C. Wegman. 

The motion passed, 

with Trustee Brian Younker 

abstaining, as the competing 

company listed him as 

a reference. Trustee William 

Brady voted “no.” 

During public comment, 

resident Michael Stuckly 

said he questioned Younker’s 

integrity for not recusing 

himself earlier. 

Pay scales established for 

Village employees 

The Village Board unanimously 

voted to approve the 

establishment of pay scales 

for fiscal year 2018 for Village 

employees. 

Pay scales would be increased 

2.5 percent for nonunion 

Village staff members. 

Public works employees’ 

pay scales were also increased 

by 2.5 percent, and 

pay scales for police were 

increased by 2.75 percent. 

A resident questioned why 

this was being done across 

the board for all non-union 

employees. 

Pannitto said the Village is 

in the process of redoing all 

of its pay scales to include a 

merit-based pay system, and 

the process takes time and effort. 

He said that in the meantime, 

the staff need raises. 

Mangin added that the 

process will take the Village 

to a better place once it 

is completed, as the Village 

will then have one pay plan.

Tinley Park church aims to move the dialogue forward on immigration 

Megann Horstead 


Many men and women 

who face the threat of being 

placed in an immigration 

detention center are overcome 

by fear, as they move 

through the legal system and 

find where their fate stands. 

The process, alone, is 

traumatizing for individuals 

to undergo. 

What’s more is that once 

they are detained, they are 

left with nothing more than 

the clothes on their backs. 

This became the topic of 

conversation for the Peace 

and Justice Ministry of 

St. Julie Billiart Catholic 

Church, who turned to community 

members Oct. 2 in 

an effort to show support 

for individuals and families 

affected by immigration 

detention, deportation and 

post-deportation. 

Interfaith Committee for 

Detained Immigrant, a faithbased 

nonprofit in Chicago, 

partnered with Peace and Justice 

to talk with area residents 

on the path to citizenship. 

Interfaith Committee’s mission 

centers on helping people 

through pastoral care, advocacy, 

public witness and more. 

The process of gaining 

citizenship is often a difficult 

one. 

“You can’t just go downtown 

to the Citizens Bureau, 

and say, ‘Oh, I just found out 

I’m not a citizen; make me 

one,’” said JoAnn Persch, a 

Mercy sister who is a founding 

member of Interfaith 

Committee for Detained Immigrants. 

“It’s a very complicated, 

and very, very expensive 

process.” 

For example, an interested 

individual would need to first 

become a lawful permanent 

resident in the United States. 

After five years, that person 

can apply for citizenship. For 

some, people are hesitant to 

apply for DACA, fearing they 

will be detained for coming 

out as an illegal resident. 

Laurel McGrath, a St. Julie Billiart parishioner and member of the Peace and Justice Ministry, provides opening remarks 

Oct. 2 during an interfaith discussion on immigration held at St. Julie Billiart Catholic Church. 

Megann Horstead/22nd Century Media 

The length of time in 

which a detainee is held in 

detention varies. 

Persch explained that not 

only are illegal residents required 

to pay their bond in 

full, but also they may lack 

representation in court. 

Persch recognized there 

are even people who have 

permanent residency that go 

on to seek citizenship only to 

be picked up for deportation 

regarding past offenses that 

have been resolved. 

“These laws have got to 

change,” she said. “Nothing 

is going to be different until 

Congress changes the immigration 

laws.” 

Parishioner Andi Borucke 

said she is glad she decided to 

come out for the presentation. 

“I was involved in the 

Peace and Justice Ministry, 

and I’m interested in what’s 

happening with DACA and 

immigration,” Borucke said. 

“I had family who came 

“You can’t just go downtown to the Citizens Bureau, 

and say, ‘Oh, I just found out I’m not a citizen; make 

me one.’ It’s a very complicated and a very, very 

expensive process.” 

JoAnn Persch – Mercy sister and founder of Interfaith Committee for Detained 

Immigrants, on becoming a US citizen 

to this country. My father 

brought his sister [about] 70 

years ago.” 

Borucke questioned the 

process in which the country 

grants citizenship to interested 

individuals. 

“Why’s it so hard today?” 

she asked. “If people want to 

become citizens, there should 

be a way of vetting them.” 

Borucke dropped in because 

she wanted to know 

more about the Interfaith 

Committee, and the information 

delivered during the presentation 

was worth sitting in 

on, she said. 

St. Julie Billiart Catholic 

Church is now sponsoring 

a project to provide postdetention 

support packs for 

individuals and families 

in need. 

“Our Peace and Justice 

Ministry has been discussing 

opportunities to get together 

with our neighbors to 

discuss topics that not only 

inform us but move us to act 

as people of faith,” said Laurel 

McGrath, a parishioner 

of St. Julie Billiart Catholic 

Church and a member of the 

Peace and Justice ministry. 

“We hope to continue these 

presentations and discussions 

and encourage you to bring 

us your ideas.”

Fire safety, prevention at the focus of open house 



When it comes to fire, every 

second can make a difference. 

That message became the 

primary focus at the Tinley 

Park Fire Department and 

Tinley Park Fire Protection 

Bureau’s open house held 

Saturday, Oct. 7, which ultimately 

marked the start of 

Fire Prevention Week. 

Appropriately themed 

“Every second counts: Plan 

two ways out,” the departments 

worked to educate 

area residents with fire prevention 

methods and their 

role in the community. 

“The goal is whoever does 

come, they get an experience 

that they learn something 

that they can take with 

them,” Deputy Chief of Fire 

Prevention Dan Riordan 

said. 

During the open house, 

attendees took part in a Fire 

Department 101 class, fire 

safety drills, the junior firefighter 

challenge and free 

training on hands-only CPR. 

These activities, Riordan 

said, were an opportunity 

for him and his team to teach 

people how to think, plan 

and be safe when emergencies 

occur. He explained 

further there are common 

mistakes people make that 

impede them from protecting 

themselves from the 

threat of fire. 

“The big thing from a 

homeowner [standpoint] 

is making sure you have a 

working smoke detector,” 

Riordan said. “We try to emphasize 

that.” 

The batteries in a smoke 

detector at most homes 

need to be replaced at least 

twice a year to ensure they 

remain in operation. As for 

the alarm itself, it should be

“Smoke detectors are only 

good for 10 years,” Riordan 

added. “[People] don’t understand 

that.” 

Event organizers quizzed 

the public’s knowledge of 

fire safety and how the fire 

department operates. Those 

who completed the test received 

a free carbon monoxide 

protector. 

All throughout the open 

house, Riordan shared he 

hoped attendees walked 

away with a better understanding 

of the fire departments’ 

mission. 

“We need to prevent a fire 

from happening or we want 

to prevent accidents,” Riordan 

said. “And when we 

can’t prevent them, we want 

to mitigate them. 

“We want to be able to 

mitigate, [and we] want to 

be able to resolve it with 

no loss of life and minimal 

damage.” 

And he and his team continue 

to work to spread this 

fire prevention messages, as 

well as taking a closer look at 

“other perils,” including accidents 

and conducting fire 

investigations. 

“Our big exposure to fire 

is in the home,” Riordan 

said. “We want to make sure 

that the homeowner understands 

fire safety.” 

The Village of Tinley Park 

is home to more than 20,000 

residential units. 

“When you talk about 

how are we handling it or 

what we’re doing different, 

it’s not only structure fires,” 

Riordan said. “We’re assisting 

our medical crews; we’re 

out with the accidents and 

[we’re] trying to make sure 

that we can make people 

more safe,” Riordan said. 

Another aspect of the fire 

department is providing 

medical care to the community 

members. 

“We got to be able to understand 

what we can expect,” 

Riordan said. “Is there a bigger 

role with medical? Yes. 

“We contract our [emergency 

medical services] 

where we have five ambulances 

in town throughout 

the course of a week, 24 

hours, 365 days. We got to 

be able to respond.”

Moving in the right direction 

Newly named Eagle 

Scout remodels St. 

Stephen Deacon and 

Martyr’s parking lot 

Jason Maholy 


Ethan Procajlo knew 

when he was 10 years old 

that he wanted to one day be 

an Eagle Scout. Never mind 

that he had just bridged from 

Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts, 

the Tinley Park youth was 

passionate about scouting 

and inspired by the older 

boys who had taken on leadership 

roles. 

“I’ve been scouting since 

first grade,” Procajlo said. 

“I loved it from the beginning. 

I loved the experiences 

that I got to have, the things 

I wouldn’t be able to do if I 

wasn’t in scouts.” 

In September, Procajlo became 

a member of a select 

club when he attained his 

goal of becoming an Eagle 

Scout. About 5 percent of all 

scouts achieve the highest 

rank in scouting. 

“It feels great,” said Procajlo, 

who is a member of 

Boy Scout Troop 911. “I’ve 

just been working for it for 

so long. 

“Every step, every rank up 

felt like another step closer 

to Eagle Scout, but there was 

still so much left. Now that 

I’m finally an Eagle Scout 

it’s like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe 

I’m here.’” 

For his Eagle Scout project, 

Procajlo planned and 

executed a refurbishing of 

the parking lot at St. Stephen 

Deacon and Martyr parish in 

Tinley Park. The 15-year-old 

Andrew High School sophomore 

and his team of laborers 

– fellow scouts, friends, 

his brother, parents and 

grandparents – spent a Tuesday 

morning and afternoon 

in June giving a fresh look to 

a lot that had been weathered 

by the elements. 

The group repainted parking 

stall lines and a crosswalk, 

added new turning 

arrows at the lot’s exits to 

175th Street and 84th Avenue, 

and replaced stop and 

“No Parking” parking signs. 

The Procajlos are longtime 

parishioners at St. Stephen, 

and Ethan has served 

there as an altar boy and 

Eucharistic minister, so giving 

something back to the 

church was an easy decision. 

“I’ve seen other Eagle 

Scout projects happen there, 

and I figured: I live really 

close, I’m really close and 

involved with the church, 

and I thought the church 

would get the most benefit 

from my project,” he said. 

From the time Procajlo in 

February proposed his project 

to St. Stephen Pastor 

James Finno to its completion 

on June 7, the teen put 

in more than 70 hours into 

bringing it to fruition. He 

took inventory of the parking 

lot, laid out a plan, purchased 

supplies and directed 

his team toward executing 

the idea. The final cost came 

in at $563, which included 

three gallons of paint, 12 

cans of spray paint, four 

stop signs, two handicapped 

parking sings and two “Go 

in Peace” signs that bid ado 

to church-goers as they exit 

the parking lot. 

Home Depot provided 

him a $100 gift card for supplies, 

and Procajlo raised the 

remaining funds via a Go- 

FundMe page he promoted 

using social media. 

From the planning to leading 

a team to painting lines 

and erecting signs, the experience 

was a valuable learning 

experience for Procajlo. 

He was so thorough as 

to measure the turn arrows 

in another parking lot, and 

based on those metrics made 

cardboard stencils for the 

ones he painted. 

“I’d never really done 

anything like that before,” 

he said, referring to the 

physical labor involved in 

the project. “And I learned a 

lot about how to lead a group 

of people to accomplish a set 

task that I planned out, and 

just learned overall how to 

do each separate task, and 

how to instruct people on 

how to do it, even adults. 

“It went very well. There 

were no problems and everything 

basically turned out as 

we expected it, and the signs 

and the arrows look better 

than we had planned.” 

The parking lot now has 

a “much more professional” 

appearance, and with the repainted 

crosswalk and new 

directional arrows is safer, 

he said. The lot had before 

the project definitely seen 

better days. 

“The signs that were there 

were so faded – you couldn’t 

even see the ‘No Parking’ 

signs anymore, you couldn’t 

even tell what they were 

for,” added Tracy Procajlo, 

Ethan’s mom. “We didn’t realize 

how bad of shape that 

parking lot was in. When we 

went in in February to take 

a look at it, we could hardly 

see where the crosswalk or 

handicapped parking spaces 

were. It as kind of an obvious 

project to do to benefit 

the church and the people 

going to church. It’s just so 

much more safe this way.” 

Finno, known to parishioners 

as Father J, personally 

thanked Procajlo the 

day the group was working 

in the lot, and also gave him 

a shout out in the church bulletin. 

“I’m so proud every time 

we go to church, I cant stop 

talking about it,” Tracy said. 

“I’m just so proud of what 

he did and how it turned out. 

It went so well.”

The Costumes 

The Halloween Costume 

Contest for 2017 features a total 

of three categories. Adults 

16 and older have two ways 

to win, with awards for scariest 

costume and most creative 

up for grabs. Children 15 and 

younger, meanwhile, will 

compete in one category in 

which creativity is key. 

We’re going to pick just one 

winner across each category 

from all seven of our southwest 

suburban towns: Orland

Mokena, New Lenox, Homer 

Glen and Lockport. So, your 

entries need to be good.

in the costume. You cannot 

submit for anyone else, 

with the exception of parents 

who submit for their children. 

2) Each person can only 

submit one costume for an entry

yourself in multiple costumes

together). 

3) We understand there may 

be a bit in the way of scary 

imagery (such is the nature of

4) Entries must be submitted

Patrick Kut, Andrew 

High School senior 

Patrick Kut, a senior at 

Andrew High School, is this 

week’s Standout Student. 

What is one essential you 

must have when studying? 

I must have a quiet place 

where I will not be disturbed 

by anyone. It enables me 

to fully focus on studying, 

without having to be concerned 

about someone coming 

in and interrupting my 

thought process. 

What do you like to do when 

not in school or studying? 

I like to play chess and tennis. 

Both physical and mental 

exercise are really important 

to me. I also enjoy cooking, 

reading and meditation. 

What is your dream job? 

I have not yet selected a 

specific job, but I plan on double 

majoring in environmental 

and materials engineering. 

Protecting the environment 

is definitely a priority for me 

though. Regardless of how I 

end up protecting the environment, 

I know for certain 

that regardless of what I end 

up doing, as long as I love 

my work and I have a place 

to live, then money is not important 

to me. 

What are some of your most 

played songs on your iPod? 

“We All Bleed the Same” 

by Alex Boye, “Believer” 

and “Rise Up” by Imagine 

Dragons. I listen to them all 

of the time; their lyrics really 

strike a chord with me. 

What is one thing people 

Photo submitted 

don’t know about you? 

I am really interested in 

herbal remedies. 

To whom do you look up to 

and why? 

I don’t have anyone alive 

whom I look up to, but Leonardo 

da Vinci is a role model 

for me. A lot of people think 

of him only as an artist, but 

he was also a remarkable engineer. 

He sought to master 

everything he did as an inventor, 

artist, and scientist. 

He inspires me to master everything 

that I do, and also 

reminds me to let my curiosity 

lead, and to learn as much 

as possible before I die. 

What do you keep under 

your bed? 

Usually the only thing under 

my bed is dust. 

What’s your best memory 

from school? 

My best memory from 

school is when the chess 

team traveled down to Nashville, 

Tennessee, for the Supernationals 

competition. It 

was a really great experience 

and was really fund bonding 

with everyone on the team. 

Plus, we got to see a side of 

our coaches that we don’t 

usually get to see. It is definitely 

something I will never 

forget.

Center event to feature 

senior-focused vendors 

Jon DePaolis 


The Active Aging Expo 

may be turning 3 years old, 

but the event is geared toward 

seniors ages 50 and up. 

The expo is slated for 9 

a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 

21, at the Tinley Park Convention 

Center, 18451 Convention

booths. 

“We provide a variety of 

vendors, covering everything 

from health and wellness to 

insurance and financial planning,” 

said Heather Warthen, 

chief events officers at 22nd 

Century Media. “It’s really 

a benefit to seniors. We have 

nursing homes and long-term 

care facilities also there. It’s 

helpful to get that information, 

even if they are not quite 

at that step yet. It’s good to 

get information on those topics, 

so they can plan for the 

future.” 

There also will be health 

screenings provided by the 

College of DuPage nursing 

department, including blood 

pressure screenings. Jewel- 

Osco also is providing flu 

shots.

FROM THE NEW LENOX PATRIOT 

Walker Country Estates Park goes 

to the dogs 

The dog days of summer may 

have passed, but “fur”-tunately it is 

shaping up to be a great fall, especially 

for New Lenox’s four-legged 

residents. 

On Oct. 1, the New Lenox Community 

Park District hosted an 

afternoon of fun-filled activities 

aimed at unleashing the good times 

for dogs of all ages at its annual 

Pooch-a-Palooza at Walker Country 

Estates Park. 

Raffles, demonstrations, dog 

contests and pet massages — compliments 

of Girl Scout Troops 120 

and 749 — ensured that everyone 

had a “paw”-some time. 

Recreation Supervisor Tracy 

Wrase especially enjoyed this 

event, because she is a dog owner. 

“I love dogs in general, and 

Pooch-a-Palooza is a great opportunity 

for dog owners to come out 

with no pressure to check out all the 

different products that are available 

for dogs in the area,” she said. “It 

brings the community all together 

at a different type of event.” 

Prizes were awarded to winners 

in a variety of dog-centric contests. 

“We held competitions for the 

biggest dog, the smallest dog and 

an owner look-alike contest,” 

Wrase said. “All dogs love to participate 

in our peanut butter licking 

contest, and we also had a costume 

contest, as well as the best trick.” 

New Lenox residents David and 

Michelle Pawlak, brought their 

9-year-old rottweiler, Macy, to 

Pooch-a-Palooza where she relished 

in some pampering from 

the Girl Scouts and event sponsor 

Tucker’s Doggie Delights, while 

meeting new pals. 

“She enjoyed herself, and 

she even made a couple of new 

friends,” Michelle said.

FROM THE LOCKPORT LEGEND 

Lockport man charged with mob 

action, reckless conduct 

A Lockport man was arrested in 

Riverside Oct. 4 in connection with 

an alleged dispute involving two 

other men and a handgun. 

Alijandro Mosies Mosquenda, 

21, of the 1300 block of McCameron 

Avenue in Lockport was 

charged with mob action and reckless 

conduct following a drug-related 

dispute on a bridge in Riverside, 

according to a press release issued 

Thursday, Oct. 5, by the Riverside 

Police Department. 

Mosquenda, along with Ruben 

Fallas Sapaula, of the 7000 block 

of Lorraine Terrace in Stickney, 

reportedly chased down Amir J. 

Johnson, of the 8000 block of 

Christie Avenue in Lyons, got 

into an altercation with him, and 

threw his bike into the Des Plaines 

River. Then, Johnson pulled out 

a handgun and threatened to kill 

Mosquenda and Sapaula, according 

to the press release. 

All three men were known gang 

members, and the confrontation 

was over a “drug rip-off” that took 

place months prior, police said. 

Johnson was riding his bike on the 

Barrypoint Bridge when Mosquenda 

and Sapaula approached him 

and subsequently threw his bike 

off the side of the bridge, according 

to the release. That was when 

Johnson revealed his gun, racked 

it so there was a live round in the 

chamber and threatened to kill the 

other two men, police said. 

Witnesses told police that 

Mosquenda and Sapaula got back 

into a vehicle and fled, while Johnson 

threw the gun into the woods 

and fled on foot to a nearby wooded 

area. 

Mosquenda and Sapaula posted 

bond and were released, police 

said.

FROM THE MOKENA MESSENGER 

Help from Mokena church arrives 

in Texas 

A team of eight volunteers from 

Grace Fellowship Church in Mokena 

arrived in hurricane-battered 

Houston Sept. 27 to help in the 

clean-up efforts for those severely 

affected by Harvey’s destruction. 

Some flew, some drove. But each 

of the eight arrived ready to work 

and up to the task. And what a task 

it turned out to be. 

All of the homes in the Houston 

area that the Fellowship volunteers 

visited were inundated with between 

3 and 5 feet of water inside 

the homes. That meant there would 

be days ahead of tough manual labor, 

in sweltering heat, if the group 

was to fulfill its mission. 

“You just can’t imagine the debris 

and devastation these people 

are dealing with,” said Teri Erickson, 

one of the Fellowships’ volunteers. 

“It has become their new 

normal.” 

The supplies and financial donations 

that were brought to Texas 

have allowed the group to help 

people in places they need it the 

most. 

They have given diapers, formula 

and money to a single mom 

with five children she can barely 

afford to feed. They bought a hot 

water heater for an elderly couple, 

who had to remain in their home 

because the 81-year-old wife is 

caring for her 86-year-old bedridden 

husband.

FROM THE ORLAND PARK PRAIRIE 

Sandburg Principal Deb Baker plans 

to retire at end of school year 

The Consolidated High School 

D230 School Board voted at its 

meeting Thursday, Sept. 28, to approve 

the retirement of Sandburg 

Principal Deb Baker for the end of 

the 2017-2018 school year. 

Baker has been part of the district 

since 2001, serving in a variety 

of roles, including English 

teacher, division chairwoman, assistant 

principal, associate principal 

and, currently, principal. 

Many of the School Board members 

said they were “reluctantly” 

approving her retirement, as they 

did not want to see her go. 

In a memo to district staff from 

Superintendent James Gay, he 

wrote that he could always “count 

on her honesty, her integrity, her 

humor and her absolute passion for 

the calling of education.” 

Prior to her time at D230, Baker 

worked at De La Salle Institute and 

Chicago Public Schools. 

At the same meeting, a total of 

27 National Merit Commended 

Scholars and National Merit Semifinalists 

were honored at the meeting 

for their accomplishments. 

Gay said he believes the total is a 

record for the district. 

From Sandburg High School, 

commended scholars Caroline Aurelio, 

Zoe Baker, Anna Graben, August 

Hauter, Luke Hecht, Christina 

Krzeczkowski, Jaimie Marines, 

Riddhi Patel, Elizabeth Ruda, Robert 

Sieczkowski, Tamara Solovey 

and Kevin Wong were recognized. 

Sandburg also had the district’s 

only semifinalists: Ahmad Abuisneineh, 

Ryan O’Neall and Andy 

Xiao.

FROM THE FRANKFORT STATION 

Frankfort Village Board reacts to 

Las Vegas shooting 

Members of the Frankfort Village 

Board took several minutes to 

express sympathy for the victims 

of the recent Las Vegas shooting 

during the board’s Oct. 2 regular 

meeting. 

On Oct. 1, a gunman staying in 

a Las Vegas Strip hotel opened fire 

on a crowd at a nearby country music 

festival, killing 59 people and 

injuring hundreds more in one of 

the worst mass shootings in American 

history. 

In memory of the victims, the 

flag at the Frankfort Village Hall 

building was placed at half-mast, 

Frankfort Mayor Jim Holland said. 

Trustee Keith Ogle described the 

shooting as a “cowardly and evil 

act” and said the board’s thoughts 

and prayers were with the victims 

and their families. 

“Our sympathies go out to those 

families affected by the horrible 

shooting in Las Vegas,” Trustee 

Mike Stevens added. “It’s something 

that’s hard to understand, but 

it seems like it happens way too often 

in our country. Our sympathies 

do go out to those folks.” 

Trustee Dick Trevarthan said 

waking up in the morning and 

turning on the television was “horrible.” 

“It really sunk my heart down to 

think that this country can’t prevent 

this, but that’s the way it goes,” he 

said. “And my sympathy goes out 

for them.”

FROM THE HOMER HORIZON 

Homer Pride Color Run draws 

approximately 700 people in third 

year 

Homer Jr. High School student 

Nicholas Skiba topped the third annual 

Homer Pride Color Run Oct. 

1. 

Skiba, who serves as a member 

of his school’s cross country team, 

covered the 3.1-mile race just moments 

ahead of the second-place 

finisher. 

“It was hard,” said Skiba, a 

Homer Glen resident. “I tried my 

best, and I ran as hard as I could.” 

People of all ages took to the 

racecourse to take part in the Future 

Ready Student Foundation’s 

Color Run, which benefits Homer 

Community Consolidated School 

District 33C students, staff and 

schools. 

“It’s real exciting,” said Robyn 

Bates, fundraising coordinator for 

the Future Ready Student Foundation. 

“I’ve chaired the race all three 

years. It started out just with two 

schools: Hadley Middle School 

and Homer Jr. High. That was our 

first year. Our second year, we 

made it as a district, and we did it 

as a district again [this year]. So, 

it’s overwhelming, the amount of 

support I got in the schools.” 

The Future Ready Student Foundation 

aims to support students, 

staff and classrooms in the areas 

of science, technology, engineering, 

art and mathematics. This 

year’s Color Run raised more than 

$10,000, according to the district. 

Skiba said he prepared for the 

run and that winning the race did 

not serve as a first for him. 

“I sometimes get first,” he said. 

“I like running on grass, but it’s 

a good course. The weather was 

good. There were good runners, 

and I liked the race.”

From the Editor 

Turning your fear into fight 

F. Amanda Tugade 


It’s been awhile since I’ve 

been to the movies. 

Back in high school, 

going to the theater with my 

friends on a Friday night was 

tradition. 

We’d loiter in the lobby, 

snack on some popcorn and 

yeah, I’ll admit it: We’d 

try and sneak into as many 

screenings as we could. 

Come to think of it, the 

first R-rated movie I snuck 

into was “Superbad,” which 

recently celebrated its 10th 

anniversary. 

I’m not really a big movie 

buff to begin with. Especially 

in this day and age, it’s 

so much easier to pick up a 

DVD at Redbox; it’s so much 

more convenient to rent or 

buy movies through your 

cable service provider. 

You know, when I think 

Photo Op 

back, gone are the days when 

I’d walk over to Blockbuster, 

which was conveniently two 

blocks away from my house. 

Gone are the days when I actually 

waited around to catch 

shows on real time. 

Let me stop dating myself, 

just a little bit here. 

Anyway, this past weekend, 

my parents and I saw 

the remake of “IT.” 

If you’re unfamiliar with 

the storyline, “IT” is based 

on a 1986 horror novel by 

Stephen King, and it focuses 

on seven children, who are 

terrorized by Pennywise the 

Dancing Clown. 

Funny thing is, I remember 

seeing the first “IT.” It 

wasn’t actually a movie then; 

it was a mini-series. My 

father, of course, introduced 

me to “IT” in an effort to 

share his love for all things 

scary, all things paranormal, 

all things haunted and all 

things Halloween. 

The opening scene of “IT” 

has always stuck with me, 

too. You know, what I’m 

talking about, right? 

It’s that part where 

Georgie chases after his 

paper mache boat, which 

sails along the curbs of his 

picture-perfect neighborhood 

until it falls into a 

This week’s Photo Op comes from Tinley 

Park resident Eric Dangoy. In an email to The 

Junction, Dangoy shared that he traveled to 

Carbondale, Ill. on Aug. 21 to capture this 

image of the total solar eclipse. He wrote, “In 

the far left, some object normally obscured by 

harsh sunlight is permitted to shine in this rare 

occasion.”

beautiful or just plain fun on camera? Submit a photo

sewer hole. (OK, I’ll end that 

sentence there.) 

Seeing “IT” years later as 

an adult, I shied away from 

the special effects and saw 

Pennywise for who he really 

is – a form of fear. The concept 

of the unknown cripples 

us, and it makes us second 

guess ourselves. 

Fear is what limits us from 

reaching our full potential, 

from moving forward. Fear 

feeds on our insecurities, 

and it is what drives a wedge 

between acting with courage 

and embracing our dreams. 

I can’t help but think back 

to those conversations that 

I had with Tara Lewis, the 

owner of Practical Magic in 

downtown Tinley. One of her 

recent paint nights centered 

on this question: What do 

you love most in your life 

right now? 

That isn’t an easy question 

to answer, and I think as 

we grow older, our lists of 

fears grow longer. We worry, 

especially when things don’t 

go accordingly to plan. 

As we age, it gets harder 

to bounce back and to be 

resilient. 

But I want to bring your 

attention to the story on Page 

23 in this week’s Junction. 

The Life and Art cover 

story focuses on Angie Williams, 

a 26-year-old actress 

from Tinley Park, who has 

built her career working in 

the haunt industry. 

I’m going to let you in 

on a secret: Watching scary 

movies, I can do. Going 

to haunted houses, not so 

much. 

For the sake of the story, 

I met Williams at Midnight 

Terror Haunted House in 

Oak Lawn. I sat with her as 

she got her make-up done 

and got into character. She 

even walked me through a 

part of the haunted house. 

She met my shudders and 

gasps with a sort of calmness, 

as she lured me to her 

post. 

What I took from her is a 

simple lesson that your fear 

can become your saving 

grace. Out of fear comes the 

willingness to fight from 

within, and then, and only 

then, can you be free.

Local actress seeks thrill in ‘watching people’s adrenaline spike’ 

F. Amanda Tugade, Editor 

Angie Williams feels most 

comfortable once in costume. 

As soon as she slips into 

her floor-length black dress, 

she lets Creature creep in. 

She quickly detaches herself 

from her bubbly personality 

and embraces a darker mood. 

Her smile turns into a 

scowl. The sound of her 

laughter gradually becomes a 

sinister, ominous growl, and 

for anyone who tries to challenge 

her, she strikes with 

sarcasm and a bite of terror. 

Transforming into Creature, 

at this point, is second nature 

for the 26-year-old Williams. 

It is a role she has perfected 

through experience as 

a haunt actress, and one that 

she carries with her as a cast 

member of Midnight Terror 

Haunted House in Oak Lawn. 

“She’s literally risen from 

hell,” Williams said of Creature’s 

demonic presence. 

Williams goes on to explain 

that Creature lives in the crevices 

of the haunted house’s 

makeshift church room. Creature 

does not walk; she pops 

up from behind broken pews, 

hangs from the balcony and 

open windows and crawls on 

the floor. 

“She ticks because she 

wants to eat you,” Williams 

said, “but she’s also trying to 

figure out what you are at the 

same time.” 

She shared further Creature 

is curious about her victims, 

and that, alone, serves 

as inspiration to instill fear 

in them, as they enter her 

domain. 

For Acting Manager David 

Johnston, giving performers 

like Williams a creative 

license is not just crucial; it 

is a necessity. Johnston said 

while he and his crew assign 

actors and actresses their 

parts and offer a few guidelines, 

he often leaves them 

room to play and experiment 

– “to take it and run with it.” 

“We want them to explore 

their own ideas, as far as 

what they want their own 

character to be,” he said. 

“The best way to get a good 

character out of the room is 

to get the actor comfortable 

with [his] role. [Actors] get 

comfortable with the room, 

[visitors] get a better scare.” 

That rings true for Williams, 

who continuously reevaluates 

her performances 

and strives to make sure that 

she is at her best. 

One of Williams’ tricks of 

the trade is that she wears 

kneepads and shin guards, 

so that she can move freely 

and tackle her stunts. 

“I just love acting in general,” 

Williams said, adding 

she first fell in love with horror 

movie’s special effects at 

the age of 10. 

By 15, Williams said, she 

found a flyer through drama 

club that gave her her first 

introduction to the haunt industry. 

“In this form of acting, 

you completely get to leave 

the real world behind,” she 

said. “You’re in a completely 

different dimension. Scaring 

people is a lot of fun, and 

there is a lot of room for improvisation.” 

Creating ‘our home,’ a 

culture of fear 

Visitors of Midnight Terror 

take a little over half an 

hour to complete its course, 

which leaves Williams and 

other staff little time to reset 

before the next wave of customers. 

“With haunt performing, you are 

seeing raw human emotion. You 

are seeing fear, excitement.”

Inaugural Dog’s Pup-kin Fest a dog-gone good time for area pet owners 



They howled. They woofed. 

They barked. 

Dozens of dogs and their owners 

arrived at Canine Campus Sept. 30 

to take part in the Dog’s Pup-kin 

Fest, a fun, family-friendly event 

hosted by the Tinley Park-Park 

District. 

The weekend occasion, which 

was free, served as a way for patrons, 

including Canine Campus 

members and non-members, to 

explore the park, enjoy the weather 

and participate in fall-inspired 

activities. 

Park District Recreation Supervisor 

Meghan Fenlon said Dog’s 

Pup-kin Fest is new, a changeup 

from the traditional Halloween 

Fest. A costume contest took 

shape among other festivities 

during the two-hour event, which 

offered a chance for attendees to 

try their hand (or paw) at winning 

raffle prizes. 

Bill Bailey, of Tinley Park, 

brought Libby to the fest. 

“She’s a new addition to our 

family,” Bailey said of Libby, 

a German shepherd, noting he 

thought this would be a good way 

for all of them to bond. 

The Bailey’s are members of 

Canine Campus and typically 

come out to the park everyday. 

Bill’s daughter, Maddie, 11, said 

the part she enjoyed the most was 

“watching all the dogs and [seeing 

them in] costumes,” and she was 

surprised by “how cute the costumes 

are.”

Natural Pets and Fox College 

sought to inform patrons of the 

various services and programs of 

interest to dog lovers. A pet parade, 

a Best Howl contest and a 

photo area rounded out the list of 

things to watch, see and do. 

Christina Roman, also of Tinley 

Park, roamed around the park 

grounds with her dog, Patches. 

Both Roman and Patches were 

newcomers to Canine Campus. 

“He’s a little clingy, but that’s 

how he is,” Roman said of Patches, 

as the two explored the event 

together. “He’s five or six [years 

old]. He’s not young. We just 

never really took him out to a dog 

park. It’s new for him.” 

The Park District used Dog’s 

Pup-kin Fest, as a way to give 

back to its Canine Campus members 

and showcase the facility to 

potential new members like Roman, 

who said she is considering 

becoming a member. 

“We like the non-members to 

come out, see what we have to 

offer, [and] see how their dogs 

interact with other dogs,” Fenlon 

said. “Sometimes, they maybe 

a little hesitant to get a membership 

if they’re unsure, so these 

free events make it nice for them 

to come out and see, and it’s just 

a nice way to bring everyone together.”

The community’s enthusiasm 

for Dog’s Pup-kin Fest was evident, 

in part, because of a few reasons, 

Fenlon said. 

“People who have dogs tend to 

love their dogs and love to talk 

about their dogs, and it’s just great 

everyone loves to see each other,” 

she said. “They just like to come 

together and talk about their dogs 

and watch them all. So, that’s what 

makes this event so neat.”

niuk’s home attraction. At the 

height of its popularity, nearly 

5,000 people were drawn to 

the Oak Lawn residence. 

That become a point of 

pride for Cerniuk, who said 

it pushed him to “go professional.” 

For the last four years, Midnight 

Terror Haunted House’s 

mainstay is a warehouse on 

111th Street. Aside from the 

haunts, Midnight Terror also 

has a 10,000-square-foot laser 

tag arena, three escape 

rooms and a party room, 

which are open year-round. 

“Midnight Terror is not a 

big corporation,” Cerniuk 

said. “I wouldn’t even consider 

this a job. It’s more of 

a passion and love for it. It’s 

just me and all my friends 

that do it.” 

What’s more is that Cerniuk 

and his team built these 

haunts from the ground up, 

and all those who work at 

Midnight Terror have lent 

a hand or two in creating 

the sets. Having committed, 

dedicated and involved 

workers contributes to its 

overall success. 

“We’re creating our home, 

meeting new people,” said 

Derby, who is also Williams’ 

longtime friend. “And when 

customers come through, we 

give them a different view of 

a haunted house.” 

Being unafraid of change, 

turning out new ideas and redesigning 

are all key to keeping 

visitors interested, talking 

and coming back for more. 

Beyond that, Midnight 

Terror Haunted House is a 

hub for collaborators and 

creatives, who are willing to 

redefine fright and horror. 

“I love watching people’s 

adrenaline spike,” Williams 

said. “With haunt performing, 

you are seeing raw human 

emotion. 

“You are seeing fear, excitement. 

It’s something that 

I love.” 

With that, Johnston noted in 

order for people like Williams 

to deliver, they, themselves, 

have to explore their own personal 

demons; they have to 

dig deep down and draw from 

their own darkness. 

“It takes a rare breed to 

be a haunted house actor,” 

Johnston said. “It’s obviously 

not for everybody.”

Lighting fire in the belly 

Tinley’s breweries 

compete in Pints 

and Pork Challenge 

Jason Maholy 


There may be no formula 

that guarantees winning – be 

it in sports, business or life 

– but pairing beer and food 

together gives one at least a 

solid chance of success. 

St. Joseph’s Church in 

Manhattan put that philosophy 

to the test on Sept. 

30 when the parish held its 

2nd annual Pints and Pork 

Challenge. The event was 

a celebration of craft brews 

and barbecued pork that literally 

paired the drinks and 

eats together in a contest that 

brought out the creative side 

of the competitors. 

From cubed pork served 

on a donut and dubbed “Fire 

Nuggets,” to pulled pork on 

a bed of cheese grits, to savory 

strands of pig doused 

with jerk sauce made with 

spices imported from Jamaica, 

contestants left it all 

on the field as they vied for 

ultimate supremacy – and 

those were just s few of the 

representatives in the food 

category. Beers included 

three infused with coconut, 

and others that contained 

hints of chocolate, coffee 

and coriander, to name a few 

ingredients. 

The competition was 

fierce but friendly, with 

brewers and pit masters sampling 

one another’s fare and 

offering compliments, and 

contained a genuine element 

of artistry. Brewers brought 

out the best of their batches, 

and the pit masters and chefs 

in many cases cooked dishes 

specifically to pair with a 

beer. Trophies were awarded 

for best beer, best entree and 

best beer/entree combo in 

both the people’s choice and 

judges’ choice votes. 

“This is really high-level 

creativity with food, putting 

food and beer together,” said 

Steve Smolinske, a St. Joseph’s 

parishioner and mastermind 

behind the Pints and 

Pork Challenge. “They take 

it serious.” 

Eight teams were on the 

ballot, with six of those 

composed of a craft brewer 

and pit master. Arrowhead 

Ales (2101 Calistoga Drive) 

and Irish Pig BBQ (280 E. 

Lincoln Highway), both 

from New Lenox, and 350 

Brewing and Soundgrowler 

Brewing, both from Tinley 

Park, were among the 14 entities 

in the contest. 

Arrowhead, which was 

competing without a partner, 

was defending its 2016 title 

in the beer and pork pairing. 

The brewery, which competed 

on its own, also took second 

last year for best beer. 

This year, Arrowhead 

owner Mike Bacon paired 

his Calistoga Kid American 

pale ale with pork pad Thai 

pot stickers, and was also 

serving Coconut Killjoy, 

a vanilla porter aged with 

roasted coconut. Bacon said 

the Thai spices and coconut 

curry barbecue sauce of the 

pot stickers dish goes well 

with the citrusy hops in the 

ale. 

“It’s a lighter, more effervescent 

beer that also cuts 

the fattiness of the pork,” he 

explained. 

Calistoga Kid, named by 

Arrowhead bartenders in 

honor of the brewery’s location 

on Calistoga Drive, is 

among the establishment’s 

best-selling beers. Coconut 

Killjoy, meanwhile, is produced 

using 25 pounds of coconut 

for every 250 gallons 

of beer. Bacon described it as 

a smooth, chocolaty and coffee-infused 

robust fall brew. 

He also said he was giving 

his best effort to defend his 

title. 

“We put our heart into it, 

and we just hope for the best, 

but we know there’s some 

really good competition 

here,” he said. “It’s a lot of 

fun, that’s the most important 

thing. Just give everybody 

here something good 

to eat and drink and hope everyone 

has a good time. We 

love this.” 

Adjacent to Arrowhead’s 

station was Tinley Park’s 

350 Brewing, where Dylan 

and Jessica Shaughnessy 

were keeping people happy 

with Jamaican pulled pork, 

I Hate Mondays espresso 

porter and Pic Slide coconut 

golden ale. Like Arrowhead, 

350 was competing on its 

own. 

The brewery is always up 

for taking part in events such 

as benefits and fundraisers 

such as the Pints and Pork 

Challenge, Dylan said. 

“We always like to get 

our name out there, we try 

to be a part of everything,” 

he added. “This is great because 

we can bring our food 

and our beer into it.” 

The pulled pork with 

Jamaican jerk sauce was 

served on a Hawaiian bun 

with a side of mango-pineapple 

coleslaw. 

“I think we can kill it here 

today,” he said of the brewery’s 

chances to take home 

some hardware. 

The coconut golden ale is 

a light, hoppy beer sweetened 

with strong tones of 

coconut, and which has a 

pleasant aftertaste that might 

remind one of a trip to the 

beach. The espresso porter 

is a heavy, dark beer that 

contains 9.5 percent alcohol 

and is brewed with coffee, 

a combination that provides 

“a little more giddy-up,” 

Shaughnessy said. 

Soundgrowler, also from 

Tinley Park, was teamed 

with Pit Master Fig, also 

known as Shawn Figuera. 

Soundgrowler did not have

but Fig was enthusiastic 

about pairing his chorizoseasoned 

pork tacos with 

avocado and lime with the 

brewery’s Mexican lager. He 

also paired pulled pork with 

mustard sauce and apricot 

preserves on a Hawaiian bun 

with Soundgrowler’s American 

porter. 

“I think my stuff pairs with 

pretty well,” he said, adding 

that the porter’s chocolate 

and coffee tones work well 

with the chocolate and coffee 

rub he uses on his pulled 

pork. 

Irish Pig from New Lenox 

was back at the challenge 

for a second year with two 

pulled pork entrees: one with 

its tangy Carolina sauce – 

the Texas Sweet Pulled Pork 

Slider – and the other with 

a mustard sauce. The pleasantly 

pungent aroma of the 

latter wafted through the air 

near the station. 

Irish Pig was teamed up 

with Skeleton Key Brewing, 

which was serving its Migratory 

coconut golden ale. 

“I’s enjoying myself,” 

said Kim Kaiser, the Irish 

Pig representative who happily 

handed out pork sliders 

to hungry challenge-goers. 

“It’s fun talking to all the 

people. Putting food and 

beer together – you can’t go 

wrong.”

The Dish 

Outpost unveils new, diverse burger menu 

Max Lapthorne 

Contributing Editor 

Outpost Bar and Grill 

owner Patty Gerny planned 

on taking a backseat to her 

granddaughter when it came 

to the food at her bar/restaurant. 

But that is not quite 

how things worked out. 

Patty’s granddaughter 

Morgan studied culinary arts 

in college, and the 28-yearold 

had big plans for the 

menu at Outpost. 

“She was revamping everything, 

restarting everything; 

she said, ‘Grandma 

you don’t have to worry 

about a thing; I’m going to 

handle this,’” Patty said. 

But Morgan never got 

the chance to take the reins 

at Outpost, as she died unexpectedly 

during a trip to 

Colorado with friends last 

August. 

“You don’t ever expect to 

get a phone call like that,” 

Patty said. “It was just terrible. 

After that happened, we 

almost shut down. We closed 

for a long time.” 

Outpost reopened its doors 

near the start of 2017 and 

decided to revamp the menu 

approximately two months 

ago — just how Morgan 

had planned. And Morgan’s 

brother Brandon, who Morgan 

trained in the kitchen, 

will be the one executing the 

new menu, as he is the chef 

at Outpost. 

“She always said, ‘You’ve 

got to make it smaller [and], 

whatever you do, you’ve 

got to do it good,’” Patty 

said. “Everybody has always 

loved our burgers, so that’s 

what we started with.” 

The new burger menu is 

not set in stone, but as of 

now it contains 11 different 

offerings, all of which start 

with Outpost’s signature 

half-pound burger patty and 

are served with french fries 

The Buffalo burger ($9) combines a Buffalo breaded 

chicken breast with a half-pound burger and comes 

complete with blue cheese crumbles on top. 

or coleslaw and a dill pickle. 

From there, the burger 

can go a number of different 

ways. Those looking for 

a burger with a kick can opt 

for the aptly named smokin 

burger ($9), which is topped 

with fried jalapeño, pepper 

jack cheese and hot sauce, 

and grilled with cream 

cheese. 

One of the most iconic 

items on the menu is geared 

toward patrons who may 

still be feeling the effects of 

their previous night out — 

the hangover burger ($9). It 

is a more breakfast-oriented 

offering, complete with a 

fried egg, bacon, American 

cheese and shredded hash 

browns. 

“We want to get them 

down,” Patty said of the new 

burgers on the menu. “We 

tried to hit the different areas, 

depending on what you 

like.” 

For those with larger appetites, 

the Buffalo burger 

($9) is the way to go, as it 

features a Buffalo breaded 

chicken breast on top of the 

half-pound burger patty, and 

is topped with blue cheese 

crumbles. 

The peanut butter pieces

Patty with its popularity. The

pieces and topped with 

creamy peanut butter and

“We’re trying to tweak 

it,” Patty said of the menu. 

“We’re trying to really get 

what the people want.” 

While the burgers have 

been the main focus recently, 

patrons will have more options 

in the coming months. 

Patty makes homemade 

soups ($6.50), which will be 

served in bread bowls and 

available as soup-of-theday 

options. She also enjoys 

whipping up home-cooked 

meals, such as lasagna and 

meatloaf, and serving them

done since Day 1,” Patty 

said. “We always have food 

for the Bears games.” 

Another constant at Outpost 

Bar and Grill since it 

opened in 2005 has been 

a focus on family. Patty 

owns the bar, along with her 

daughter Lisa Gerny, while 

Lori Thompson, Morgan 

and Brandon’s mother, is 

the general manager. And 

their support of each other is 

what has kept Outpost going 

through thick and thin. 

“It’s all been in the family,” 

Patty said. “It’s always 

stayed in the family.”

The Dish 

Thai eatery serves authentic, fresh food off the beaten path 

Joy of Thai in Orland 

Park nears fourth 

anniversary 

Amanda Stoll, Assistant Editor 

Nestled in a small shopping 

center on the edge of 

Orland Park is a restaurant 

that may be easy to miss, 

unless diners know where to 

look for it. 

Joy of Thai has been 

around for nearly four years, 

and owner Joy Lindsey said 

it has quite a following 

Lindsey said a little known 

fact is that Joy is actually her 

middle name, but she said 

that is what she is known by 

at the restaurant, where she 

cooks, cleans, serves and 

does pretty much every job 

there is. 

It’s a true family affair, 

with her two main employees 

being her mother and father, 

Wanphen and Phaiboon 

Luangumong, who moved to 

the United States from Thailand 

a few years after Joy to 

help her with the restaurant. 

“I think my whole family 

has such a good work ethic,” 

Lindsey said. “That has 

helped me a lot.” 

In addition to her parents, 

Lindsey has a small staff, with 

most of her employees working 

the dinner shift, when the 

restaurant is busiest. 

Lindsey grew up in Lamphun, 

Thailand and earned 

her bachelor’s degree in 

marketing before moving to 

the United States in 2006. 

She originally worked as a 

nanny in New Jersey before 

finding her way to the Chicago 

area. Lindsey said she 

studied English as a second 

language and one day decided 

to open her own restaurant. 

Even though she said she 

enjoys cooking, Lindsey 

said she did not until she 

started thinking about the

restaurant. In fact, she credited 

her cooking skills to a 

woman from Thailand she 

met after moving here. 

Lindsey, a Mokena resident 

who previously lived 

in Orland Park, said the restaurant 

is heavily influenced 

by her home country. From 

the decorations adorning the 

walls and front counter to 

the salt and pepper shakers 

as well as the dishes, Lindsey 

said it is all from Thailand. 

Every time she visits, 

she finds new things to bring 

back with her. 

She said there are two 

things on which she will not 

compromise: customer service 

and fresh ingredients. 

Between those two things, 

she said she wants the customer 

to have a good experience 

and enjoy the food. 

“The most important thing 

for me is to make sure the 

customer comes back,” she 

said. “I don’t care what it 

takes. I don’t care if it’s going 

to take one dish or two dishes 

to make sure they like it.” 

Instead of chicken stock, 

Lindsey said she only uses 

vegetable stock in order for 

her recipes to be vegetarian 

friendly, and she also offers 

gluten-free menu options. She 

said most menu items can be 

tailored to the desired spiciness, 

and all are free of MSG. 

Her menu includes quite a 

few peanut items, making it 

a no-go for people with peanut 

allergies. 

Panang curry, pictured with the chicken option ($10.95), 

is a moderately spicy curry at Joy of Thai in Orland Park.

Lindsey said she works 

long hours, from before 

open until after close every 

day, which she said is tiring 

but she enjoys it. 

“We’ve been working for 

four years, [but there is] never 

one day that I feel I don’t 

want to come here,” Lindsey 

said. 

She said she is not great 

at remembering names but 

she has a way with people’s 

orders. She said she remembers 

her regular customers’ 

favorites and even how spicy 

they like their food, and 

what vegetables they may or 

may not like. 

Joy of Thai received the 

Southwest Choice Award in 

both 2016 and 2017 for Favorite 

Thai restaurant, which 

Lindsey said was a huge 

honor. 

The menu includes a variety 

of appetizers, soups and 

Thai-style salads in addition 

to the noodle dishes, curry 

options and specials. 

Lindsey said the yellow 

curry has become popular 

with customers who like 

their food on the mild side. 

The Traditional yellow Thai 

curry is simmered in coconut 

milk with potatoes, carrots 

and onions. The dish can be 

made with chicken, tofu or 

mixed vegetables ($10.95); 

beef ($12.95); or shrimp 

($14.95). 

The crispy duck curry 

($15.95) is another popular 

menu item, found on the 

Thai specials menu section, 

which is served with crispy 

duck sautéed in red curry 

and coconut milk, with bell 

pepper, pineapple, carrot and 

tomato. 

Lindsey said her favorite 

menu item is the basil 

fried rice, which she said 

is a simple dish made with 

stir-fried jasmine rice, egg, 

basil leaves, onion, bell pepper, 

and hot chili. It is one of 

the many items that can be 

made with chicken, tofu or 

mixed vegetables ($9.95); 

beef ($11.95); or shrimp or 

a combination of shrimp, 

chicken and beef ($14.95).

Customer Satisfaction through the Roof at Prairie Trails in Manhattan 

Excellent Communications translates into positive home buying and building experience 

Distinctive Home Builders continues 

to add high quality homes 

to Manhattan at Prairie Trails; 

its latest new home community, 

located within the highly-regarded 

Lincoln-Way School District. 

Many families are thrilled to call 

Prairie Trails home and couldn’t 

be happier. 

“Homes are one of the last truly 

hand made major purchase there 

is,” said Bryan Nooner, president 

of Distinctive Home Builders. 

“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 

giving us one of the highest referral 

rates in the industry.” 

“But don’t take our word for it ask 

our homeowners,” urges Nooner. 

Nancy Schueler and her husband 

Jim purchased an Ashley ranch at 

Prairie Trails last year. “We raised 

four sons in a large five-bedroom 

home in Mokena. We knew and 

liked the area but could not find 

what we were looking for in New 

Lenox or Mokena. We went a little 

further to Manhattan and saw 

this home on an oversize lot with 

pond views, met with Bryan and 

Lynne and liked what we heard. 

Bryan sat down with us and allowed 

us to make changes we 

thought we might like such as 

enlarging the width of the home 

to accommodate a larger kitchen 

and we bumped out a three car 

garage because my husband likes 

to woodwork and needed the extra 

space,” said Nancy Schueler. 

“The building process was 

great,” continued Schueler. “We 

had a picture of a home we wanted 

to buy in Colorado and Bryan 

customized the facade of our new 

home to replicate it. We also liked 

the fact that Bryan lived locally 

and that we worked with a family 

company. He had a good handle 

on what we were looking for even 

making suggestions about things 

that we didn’t even think of. It was 

overwhelming but we would do it 

all over again. Everything Distinctive 

said they would do they did. 

If anything wasn’t kosher with us, 

they changed it. Distinctive was 

so willing to make us happy, was 

always present to walk us through 

our home under construction and 

answer any questions.” 

Karie and Jason Emerson recently 

built a Prairie model at 

Prairie Trails. “Our experience 

with Distinctive Home Builders 

could not have gone more 

smoothly,” said Karie Emerson. 

“Everyone says building a home is 

one of the most stressful experiences 

but ours could not have been 

better. Our initial home search 

was for a resale home with not 

much luck, then we saw an article 

in the newspaper for new homes 

in Manhattan. We went there and 

met Lynne and we were SOLD. 

“We found a great lot, a perfect 

model for us and worked closely 

with Lynne and Bryan on the 

design and without their help we 

would not have been able to build 

such a beautiful home,” continued 

Emerson. “We made a lot of modifications 

to the standard Prairie 

model which was never a problem. 

We loved that we were able to see 

the progress on their client portal 

and Distinctive delivered our 

home in the time frame promised. 

All of the subcontractors treated 

the building of our home as if it 

was their own. Thank you Bryan, 

Josh, Lynne, Jeff and everyone 

that we came into contact with 

at Distinctive Home Builders you 

gave us our Dream Home.” 

Tony and Nikki Uranin lived on 

the other side of Manhattan and 

wanted a new home they could 

grow into with their two young 

children ages 2 and 4 – with more 

space and new trees. Nikki was 

born and raised in Manhattan 

and was previously a teacher in 

the Manhattan school system. 

They also have a lot of family 

living nearby. 

“We checked out many builders 

in the area and Distinctive 

had the floor plan and upgrades 

we were looking for within our 

price range,” said Nikki Uranin. 

“From the moment we met with 

Lynne we were connected - our 

kids loved her and she was not 

pushy. The key decision were the 

layouts compared to what else was 

out there. We even had a home to 

sell and they held our lot for us.” 

“There was also great communication 

throughout the process,” 

she added. We met with Bryan, 

the owner, and reviewed designs 

and wanted to extend our loft 

upstairs. Bryan worked on the 

floor plan with us and we were 

able to do it! 

“There is even an App on your 

phone where they posted building 

progress. Everything went 

smoothly. It was a breeze making 

selections with the vendors - they 

told us that Distinctive was great 

to build with. Distinctive was very 

responsive after we moved in 

when we had a leak from a storm. 

They came out the next day and 

took care of the issue right away.” 

Harold and Molly Hewitt lived in 

New Lenox the last 20 years and 

initially had no interest in building. 

“We then put a deposit down 

with another builder and soon 

after had to cancel,” explained 

Harold Hewitt. “When we came 

back to them we lost all of our 

incentives. We found out that 

Distinctive Home Builders offered 

incentives and after meeting with 

Lynne; who took us through many 

different homes, we put down a 

deposit.” 

The Hewitts built a Foxgrove 

model and took advantage of the 

customization from Distinctive 

Home Builders. “We did three 

custom changes: We moved the 

master suite from the front of 

the house to the back so we could 

enjoy the lake views, made the 

loft bigger and added a bathroom 

downstairs. Our old house lacked 

natural light so we added additional 

larger windows throughout 

our new home,” said Hewitt. 

“The building process went 

fast for us because the weather 

was on our side and we moved 

in last May,” Harold continued. 

“Lynne explained all of our options 

and she and Bryan went 

over everything at a later date 

pretty much seamlessly. We knew 

what we wanted and appreciated 

Lynne’s suggestions and accessed 

the online portal for construction 

updates and pictures. We have one 

child, age 16 still living at home 

currently attending Lincoln Way 

West, a fine school.” 

Frazer and Linda Gulli closed 

eight months ago on an Arbor 

ranch. Two of their grown children 

live across the street in another 

subdivision and a third not 

too far from there. “When Distinctive 

opened up we were curious,” 

said Linda Gulli. “We wanted to 

be close enough to help with the 

kids but not too close. We built 

a ranch, made custom changes 

and have plenty of room for us. 

We modified the master bath and 

replaced the second closet with 

a walk-in shower. We also added 

a lot of canned lighting; so far 

we have been told that we have 

the most canned lighting in the 

subdivision! 

“We previously built a townhome 

so we were familiar with building,” 

Gulli continued. The process 

was fine with Distinctive, they 

were accommodating and willing 

to meet us after work. Distinctive 

also has a web site where we 

logged in to check progress and 

pictures as our home was being 

built. Even though we drove by 

often it was a nice convenience 

and understand how some people 

who live further away can appreciate 

it. Lynne and Josh are so nice 

and helpful! We appreciate all the 

help throughout the whole process 

from both of them! Everyone at 

Distinctive is nice and even now 

that we are moved in they still 

wave to us when they drive by! We 

can see the lake from our home, 

the neighbors are very friendly 

and we absolutely love the fact 

that the Wauponsee Glacial Trail 

is so close for us to just hop on 

with our bikes.” 

There are 13 ranch, split-level 

and six two-story single-family 

home styles to choose from each 

offering three to eight different 

exterior elevations. The three- to 

four-bedroom homes feature two 

to two-and-one-half baths, twoto 

three-car garages and a family 

room, all in approximately 1,600 

to over 3,000 square feet of living 

space. Basements are included in 

most models as well. Distinctive 

also encourages customization 

to make your new home truly 

personalized to suit your lifestyle. 

Oversize home sites; brick exteriors 

on all four sides of the first 

floor; custom maple cabinets; 

ceramic tile or hardwood floors 

in the kitchen, baths and foyer; 

genuine wood trim and doors 

and concrete driveways can all 

be yours at Prairie Trails. All 

home sites at Prairie Trails can 

accommodate a three-car garage; 

a very important amenity to the 

Manhattan homebuyer, according 

to Nooner. 

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.

How did you get started playing 

volleyball? 

I started playing volleyball back in fourth 

grade, when I went to elementary school, 

and I kept playing through eighth grade. And 

I realized I was kind of good at it, and so I 

decided to keep playing through high school. 

And I’ve only gotten better since. 

How did you develop your knuckle 

serve? 

I’ve always wanted to have a different kind 

of serve. I serve float. When I know I have 

a good serve, it moves in the air, and then it 

drops, and I get so excited to myself, like, “Oh, 

that was a good one.” I’ve never gotten into 

jump serving, so I’ve only gotten used to float. 

What is your proudest moment in 

volleyball? 

We were playing Reavis, and I had a pretty 

monster cross kill right side, and no one 

touched it, so that’s been my highlight this 

year so far. 

What did you work on between last 

season and this one? 

I worked more on my arm swing and to get 

better at my serving. Last year, [my serving] 

was really good, but I wanted to be able this 

year to hit spots and serve at certain positions 

and serve it shorter [or] farther. 

What do you like the most about 

volleyball? 

It’s a team sport, so you’re not playing by 

yourself, and I prefer to work with others. 

So, it helps me work with other people and 

have fun with others around me. 

If you won the lottery, what would 

you do with the money first? 

I would plan a trip to different countries, 

like Greenland and Sweden and Switzerland. 

Different, fun countries. I’m going to Iceland 

next year, and I’m really stoked about that. I 

love traveling, so to go to different countries 

would be awesome. 

If you could replace a teammate with 

a celebrity, who would you choose? 

Probably Taron Egerton. He’s [in] “The 

Kingsman,” and I love that movie, so it would 

be cool to play with him and meet him. 

What item or two could you not live 

without? 

I don’t know. The cliche answer is phone, 

right? Probably my camera, and then an Xbox. 

My camera, because I love to take pictures and 

capture the moment, And then, an Xbox because 

you can watch videos on the Xbox and 

play games on the Xbox. It’s a multi-use thing. 

What is your favorite subject in school? 

I like chemistry, the sciences. I’m geared 

toward those. I can understand them easily. 

What is your dream job? 

To work on the sidelines of sporting events 

and help out with that kind of stuff, like injuries 

and getting them better. Kinesiology 

does everything. ... My brother’s friend is 

studying to become a kinesiologist, and I 

was like, “I want to learn more about that.”

Learning and growing 

T-Bolts qualify three 

for sectional, Titans 

get taste of playoffs 

RANDY WHALEN 


The Andrew girls golf 

team knew there would be 

improvement this season. 

After qualifying only 

one golfer for sectional last 

year, the Thunderbolts made 

a jump at the Providence 

Catholic Regional Oct. 4 at 

Broken Arrow Golf Course 

in Lockport, qualifying three 

players for the Waubonsie 

Valley Sectional Tuesday, 

Oct. 10. They were sophomores 

Julia Bockstahler 

(105) and Isabella Lapera 

(107), along with junior 

Kirsten Kamholz (110). In 

fact, Kamholz qualified in 

dramatic fashion, defeating 

Oak Forest’s Victoria Perez 

7-8 on the first sudden-death 

hole after they tied for the 

final spot. 

As a team, Andrew claimed 

sixth place, and Tinley Park 

High School took eighth. 

“The past few weeks have 

been really good for me,” 

Bockstahler said. “Besides 

my mental game improving, 

my tee shots have been good. 

[As a team], it was a great improvement 

this season. A year 

ago, we won one dual meet 

match, and this season we 

won close to half of them.” 

The rest of the Thunderbolts’ 

scores came from 

sophomore Shannon Doran 

(113), junior Morgan Kozar 

(117) and sophomore Emily 

Spain (130). 

While Tinley Park was the 

final team in the standings, 

the fact that the Titans were 

there was fantastic to them. 

“Our program was on life 

support this season,” Tinley 

Park coach Charles Moore 

said. “We had only one girl 

go out, but then I made a 

plea, and we ended up with 

six wonderful freshman athletes 

on the team. We came 

here [to the regional] as a 

learning experience, and it 

was only the second time 

this season that we played 

18 holes. This was just a celebration 

of the resurrection 

of our program.” 

The Titans brought five 

freshmen to the regional. 

They were Ashley Tipping 

(127), Emily Praski (136), 

Ella Oakley (139), Brittany 

Osterman (140) and Madison 

Dunn (155). 

Someone else who hopes 

to go to state again is East 

senior Hannah Hill. Playing 

at the now-closed Lincoln- 

Way North, she missed the 

cut for state her first two seasons. 

But after moving over 

to East, she qualified last 

year for the first time. 

“It was definitely not one 

of my better rounds,” Hill 

said. “In fact, it was my first 

round of the season in the 

80s. It was rough. I had two 

three-putts and have to work 

on my putting. But I kind of 

cleaned it up on the second 

nine to save my round. 

“Still, it’s always fun to 

advance as a team. This 

[motivated] me to redeem 

myself at sectionals.” 

Junior Samantha Bollman 

(97), sophomore Jessica 

Loera (101), sophomore 

Grace Welk (103), senior 

Kerigan McAllister (108) 

and junior Olivia Hoey (111) 

rounded out the Griffins’ 

scores. 

“We’re excited to move on 

as a team,” East coach Mary 

McGivern said. “The girls 

are resilient and fought back 

after a tough front nine. It’s 

Hannah’s senior year, and 

she’s been perched on top of 

our leaderboard all season. 

So, hopefully, she can make 

it to state again.” 

The Lincoln-Way Central 

girls golf team has looked forward 

to this time all season. 

It’s here now, and there was 

no letdown for the Knights. 

Brianne Bolden threepeated 

as the individual regional 

champion and in the 

process helped the Knights 

to their third straight regional 

team championship. 

Bolden shot a 3-over-par 

75 in edging out her fellow 

junior teammate Grace Curran, 

who is the defending 

Class 2A state champion, for 

the individual title. 

As a team, Central shot a 

39-over 327 and won by 56 

strokes over runner-up Lincoln-Way 

East (383). The 

host Celtics hung on for the 

third qualifying spot at the 

Class 2A regional. 

At sectional, the Knights 

hoped to advance to the state 

finals as a team for the first 

time in school history. 

Central is so good that it 

had the fifth, sixth and seventh 

best scores on the day, 

and the seventh didn’t even 

count for the team. Those 

were by sophomore Maddie 

Pyle (87), senior Taylor 

Miron (88) and sophomore 

Carly Schiene (89). Freshman 

Sydney Miron (105) 

rounded out the lineup for 

the Knights. 

“We just try to put the team 

in tournaments and matches 

that try to match this pressure, 

but you can never really 

replicate the pressure of the 

postseason,” Central coach 

Brian Shannon said. “But the 

best thing about this team is 

they strive to get better all the 

time. If we take it one step at 

a time and keep that focus, 

we’ll be fine.” 

Shannon, in his 12th season 

as Knights head coach, 

knows he’s blessed to have 

the talents of Bolden and 

Curran.

Football 

East dooms Lockport with early turnovers 

Steve Millar 


It took just one play Friday 

night, Oct. 6, for Lincoln-Way 

East’s defense to 

make a statement and set 

the Griffins’ offense up for 

a quick score. 

Senior defensive lineman 

Sam Broda recovered a Lockport 

fumble on the first play 

from scrimmage. Three players 

later, Brendan Morrissey 

hit Turner Pallissard with a 

10-yard touchdown pass. 

The host Griffins, ranked 

No. 1 in the state in the AP’s 

Class 8A poll, rolled from 

there on their way to a 49-6 

SouthWest Suburban Conference 

win over the Porters. 

“When our defense stops 

them and gives us great field 

position like that, we’ve 

got to go out there and do 

our job,” Pallissard said. 

“We’ve got to back them up 

as a family and get points on 

the board. We were able to 

do that.” 

The chain of events that 

led to the Griffins (7-0, 5-0) 

taking command early on 

began when the Porters (1- 

6, 0-5) won the coin toss 

and elected to receive. 

“If we won the toss, we 

would’ve chosen to take 

the ball,” East coach Rob 

Zvonar said. “The way it 

turned out, though, with 

the wind and the rain picking 

up, it wasn’t a bad thing 

to go on ‘D’ first. We were 

able to take advantage of a 

couple of their miscues, we 

made a few big plays, and 

we were able to jump on 

them early.” 

With pouring rain making 

the ball tough to handle, another 

Lockport fumble — this 

one recovered by East’s Gus 

Christensen — helped set up 

Morrissey’s 29-yard touchdown 

run to make it 14-0. 

Morrissey, who was 

pulled midway through the 

second quarter with the 

Griffins up 35 points, finished 

9-for-14 passing for 

68 yards and a touchdown 

and ran six times for 85 

yards and a score. 

“Brendan has really 

stepped up at the quarterback 

position and done a 

great job,” Pallissard said. 

“We’ve come together as a 

team and executed.” 

Running back Ryan Scianna 

added a pair of touchdown 

runs, of 6 and 10 

yards, and the Griffins led 

28-0 before the first quarter 

had ended. 

With 3 minutes and 34 

seconds left in the first half, 

Pallissard made it 35-0, 

scoring on a 1-yard touchdown 

run. 

Pallissard, who plays 

tight end and fullback, got 

some more opportunities 

to touch the ball Friday and 

took advantage. 

He finished with five 

catches for 40 yards, scoring 

on a touchdown catch 

and the touchdown run. 

“Really, I like blocking 

for everyone else the most,” 

he said. “I’ll fill in at any 

position we need, though, 

and it’s fun when I do get 

to touch the ball a couple 

times.” 

Zvonar said Pallissard 

was set to commit to play at 

the University of Iowa as a 

preferred walk-on. 

Backup quarterback Jack 

Baltz ran for two touchdowns 

for the Griffins, including 

a 5-yarder on the final 

play of the first half that 

sent East to the locker room 

up 42-6. 

He then went for a 4-yard 

score on the first possession 

of the third quarter to close 

the scoring. 

Standout wide receivers 

A.J. Henning and Kwaku 

Appiah each sat out for East. 

“We were able to rest 

some guys that were a little 

dinged up, but nothing serious,” 

Zvonar said. “We 

were able to get other guys 

in there to get an opportunity 

to show what they can 

do. We showed our depth.” 

Chris Wilder gained 30 

yards on seven carries for 

East, while Matt Judd caught 

two passes for 30 yards. 

“Our guys have a hunger 

and tenacity, but yet a humility 

and an attitude of wanting 

to improve each week and 

play at a high level no matter 

the opponent,” Zvonar said. 

“It’s just been a blessing to 

be around them.” 

The Griffins’ swarming 

rush defense held Lockport 

to negative 12 yards on the 

ground. 

The Porters did have 

some success through the 

air, however. Jacob Karli 

finished 17-for-28 passing 

for 202 yards. He found 

Austin Hoffman for a 63- 

yard touchdown pass late in 

the second quarter for Lockport’s 

lone score. 

Hoffman caught five 

passes in all for 162 yards. 

“Our passing game has 

been getting better all year 

long,” Lockport coach Dan 

Starkey said. “I think our 

coaches did a great job 

schematically putting our 

kids in a position to make 

plays, and they did a good 

job executing. 

“Unfortunately, we’re 

a little one-dimensional. 

Football usually comes 

down to the team that can 

run the ball the best. We 

have to get a little more 

physical up front.” 

Timmy Houlihan had six 

catches for 33 yards for the 

Porters. Defensively, Bo 

Hamlin, Kevin Gorski and 

Thomas Mulhall each had 

a sack. 

It was the early turnovers 

Lincoln-Way East’s Turner Pallissard gets tackled right into a touchdown against 

Lockport on Friday, Oct. 6. Pallissard finished with five catches for 40 yards, scoring on a 

touchdown catch and on the touchdown run. Photos by Julie McMann/22nd Century Media 

that cost Lockport a chance 

to stay in the game. 

“It hurt us playing on a 

short field defensively against 

a high-powered team like 

Lincoln-Way East,” Starkey 

said. “They’re really talented, 

they’re well coached, and 

they’re physical up front.” 

Lockport’s final two 

games are against teams 

that are also 1-6: Wheaton-Warrenville 

South and 

Bradley-Bourbonnais. 

“Our kids are staying together,” 

Starkey said. “They 

aren’t quitting. I’m proud of 

them for that. I want our 

guys to get rewarded with 

some success these last two 

weeks. Hopefully, we can 

send our seniors out with 

a couple wins. We know it 

won’t be easy.”

Four Titans qualify for sectional 

Tinley Park comes in 

fourth at regional 

Tim Carroll, Sports Editor 

On Sept. 25, Tinley Park 

junior Collin Wilma became 

the Titans’ first three-time 

All-Conference golfer. On 

Oct. 3, he and fellow junior 

Jake Bergquist qualified for 

their third consecutive sectional 

tournament. 

Playing at Lincoln Oaks 

Golf Course in Crete, Wilma 

shot a 93 and Bergquist fired 

a 99 to qualify for the Lemont 

Sectional from the Marian 

Catholic Regional. The pair 

would not be alone, as senior 

Jason Ludtke and junior Austin 

Bateman — who shot 98 

and 100, respectively — each 

earned spots for the second 

time to join them Monday, 

Oct. 9, at Broken Arrow Golf 

Club in Lockport. 

The team had struggled 

at Broken Arrow during the 

conference tournament, and 

Bergquist was one of a few 

Titans able to turn in a better 

back nine than front. He said 

he was feeling better about the 

regional performance because 

he was more consistent. 

“I did better than last week, 

and I’m just progressively 

getting better and better,” he 

said. “I’m just going through 

a little bit of a rough patch 

right now.” 

Although the team was 

better throughout the day 

than it had been at conference, 

Tinley Park coach Mike 

Barcena said there were still 

inconsistencies. 

“We didn’t play the front 

nine very well,” Barcena said. 

“[There was] a lot of talking: 

‘Just calm down, relax.’” 

The Titans did relax on 

the back nine, and he was 

pleased his team was able 

mentally and physically to 

carry on through difficulty. 

“They just had to persevere, 

and that’s really what 

today was about,” Barcena 

said. “Just get to the next 

round, and anything can happen 

next week.” 

Wilma said he was not 

entirely pleased with his 

number, but he is pleased to 

continue in the Illinois High 

School Association playoffs. 

“I feel good,” Wilma said. 

“It’s just fun to get out and 

play some more.” 

Of the golfers who qualified 

as individuals, Wilma placed 

third, Ludtke came in sixth, 

Bergquist came in seventh, and 

Bateman finished in eighth. 

As a team, the Titans came 

in fourth place, finishing 

46 strokes behind Chicago 

Christian with a 390-stroke 

total. Oak Forest won the regional 

with a 332, and Marian 

Catholic and Chicago 

Christian also earned team 

slots at the Lemont Sectional. 

For Wilma and Bateman, 

one thing that helped them 

improve during the back nine 

was leaving the driver out 

of the bag. The two juniors 

played the back with only 13 

clubs after surrendering the 

big sticks to Barcena. 

“That helped a lot,” Wilma 

said. “I was in play more, and 

not as much out of bounds.” 

Barcena said he hoped Wilma, 

a big hitter, would agree 

to compete without the driver

senior on the team, hits a

nine.

from the start at sectional. But 

for his part, Bateman said he 

hoped to have his driver back 

in the bag Monday. 

“I want to figure [the 

driver] out in the next couple 

days, as we have our 

[practice] rounds, to try to 

figure out what I’m doing 

wrong,” Bateman said. “I 

was hitting it straight [coming 

in], but it wasn’t really 

working today.” 

Ludtke said he would be 

more comfortable at the familiar 

Broken Arrow than 

he was at Lincoln Oaks, and 

Barcena agreed. 

“They know it like the back 

of their hands,” Barcena said. 

“It’s going to come down to 

whether or not they’re willing 

to put their drivers away 

and play smart golf, like they 

did today.”

senior, finished with a 78. 

Freshman Sean Curran and 

junior Brian Sterling also 

shot a 78. Junior Jon Soldan 

(84) and senior Dylan Gordon 

(92) were the rest of the 

Central scores. 

Considering Nolan double-bogeyed 

two of the first 

six holes, his score was excellent. 

Lincoln-Way East qualified 

three players for the 

sectional, with Bullington’s 

72 leading the way. But 

East, which shot a 306 and 

defeated Lockport (309) and 

Sandburg (312) on Sept. 26 

at Coyote Run Golf Course 

in Flossmoor to win the Blue 

Division title in the SWSC, 

led after the front nine. Still, 

East coach Jim Nair kept it 

all in perspective. 

“I’m proud of the guys in 

a tough regional like this to 

come in fourth,” he said. “As 

a team, we led after the front 

nine but struggled coming 

out of the gate on the back. 

Still, we got three guys out 

with great scores.” 

The other two East qualifiers 

were freshman Matt 

Kelley (77) and junior Scott 

Schipiour (80). Senior T.J. 

Goetsch (84), junior Blake 

Gorman (86) and senior John 

Slager (98) contributed the 

rest of the Griffins’ scores. 

“I was 5-over through six, 

then I made three straight 

birdies to settle down,” said 

Bullington, who shot 74 to 

place third in the conference 

meet. “I just had to keep going, 

keep hitting good shots. 

I got three more birdies and 

a bogey on the back nine. 

“This ended up as my 

best round of the year. I’ve 

slowly gotten better, and I’m 

getting closer, but I’m not 

as good as my older brother 

[Brian] yet.” 

For the second straight 

season, Sandburg sophomore 

Max Farley was the 

SWSC Blue individual 

champion. In the regional, 

he was fourth with a 76. But 

that was fine with him. He, 

along with teammates Matt 

James (79) and freshman 

Mitch Mazzei (80), moved 

on to the sectional. 

“With this weather and 

wind, I’ll take the score,” Farley 

said. “I had four birdies 

on the day. I had a lot of short 

putts, 8- to 10-footers. That’s 

crucial to doing well here.” 

“I was happy,” Sandburg 

coach Jeff Kwilose said. 

“Going in here, with 10 

teams, I saw seven of them 

battling to get out and move 

on. I was happy with the 318. 

I thought maybe we could 

get 315 if the conditions here 

were better. Good for Matt 

[James] to advance, and it 

was nice to see [Mazzei] 

shot an 80. He [double-bogeyed] 

17, and Max doubled 

18, or he could have had a 

74. But it’s a tough regional, 

and that was just unluck of 

the draw.” 

The rest of the Eagle 

scores came from junior 

Kyle Matre (83), senior Jake 

Pineda (83) and Tony Majchrowicz 

(96). 

Another of the six freshmen 

to shoot 80 or better 

at the regional was West’s 

Zack Phelps. He shot a 78 to 

advance to the sectional. 

“It feels different being 

the only one on the team going,” 

Phelps said. “My short 

game was going well [in the 

regional. It’s been a fun season. 

I hope to do well [at the 

sectional] and also to come 

back strong next season.” 

Junior Dylan Adair (84), 

sophomore Nick Hamilton 

(84), sophomore Collin 

Phelps (85), and seniors Paul 

Negri (87) and Tyler Hubbs 

(91) rounded out the Warrior 

scores. 

“Having Lockport and 

Sandburg added to the mix 

[in the regional] changed 

a lot of things,” said West 

coach Donna Thompson. 

“Zack played great, and as a 

team I thought we did well. 

But some of the other guys 

came in a little higher than 

usual. 

“Still, we had a fantastic 

year, with a 9-5 dual meet 

record and a great group of 

kids. We had our school records 

for lowest scores ever 

in a nine-hole (153) and 18- 

hole (312) tournament. But 

the 312 wouldn’t have even 

got us out of the regional.”

Titans offense shut out by conference rival 

Lemont keeps third 

consecutive team 

scoreless 

Tim Carroll, Sports Editor 

Lemont came into its Friday, 

Oct. 6 matchup with 

Tinley Park having shut out 

Richards and T.F. South 

on the road in consecutive 

weeks. The Indians (6-1) 

made it three in a row with 

their 42-0 home win against 

the Titans (3-4). 

The Tinley Park defense, 

led by linebackers Jose Marban, 

Ronin Gilbert, Joshua 

Urbanski and Michael Alberto, 

played well to start 

the game. But Lemont dominated 

time of possession on 

offense and wore the Titans 

down by the second half. 

Meanwhile, the Tinley Park 

offense struggled to find any 

consistency. 

“We didn’t finish drives,” 

Tinley coach Nick Johnston 

said. “We had a couple threeand-outs, 

which led to our defense 

being on the field longer 

than what we wanted. [In 

the] second half, they wore us 

down. Offensively, we have 

to sustain drives and finish 

drives in order for the defense 

to come off the field.” 

The power run game and 

read-option plays had been a 

staple of the Titans’ success 

this season, but they went to 

a different offensive game 

plan at Lemont, opting for 

more quick throws to the outside 

and quarterback scampers. 

Senior running back Eli 

Webster had only five touches 

for the Titans in the first 

half, while quarterback Ryan 

Zientara passed eight times in 

the first half and ran another 

seven times. 

“We thought we could 

throw the ball a little bit, but 

[Webster] has to get more 

touches, and sometimes they 

come and sometimes they 

don’t, depending on the defensive 

scheme,” Johnston 

said. 

The Lemont offense took 

the first half to establish 

consistent possession and 

methodical movement of the 

ball, scoring on a 13-play 

drive on its first series and an 

11-play drive on its second 

series. 

On the first series, Tinley 

Park had the opportunity to 

keep Lemont from scoring. 

After a run by Indians quarterback 

Marcus Mathias lost 

2 yards, Gilbert broke up a 

deep pass to the end zone. A 

9-yard pass that ended in a 

tackle by Tinley Park defensive 

back Keshawn Holder 

forced fourth-and-1 at the Titans’ 

26-yard line. 

After Lemont running 

back Anthony Martin stepped 

out of a tackle at the line of 

scrimmage, he rumbled all 

Ryan Zientara rolls out to 

his right while searching for 

an open receiver. 

the way to the 8-yard line, 

where Holder made a touchdown-saving 

tackle. But 

Martin scored on the very 

next play. A missed extra 

point made the score 6-0. 

The Titans offense had a 

three-and-out after fielding 

the kickoff, and the defense 

was right back on the field. 

Urbanski started the defense 

off with a tackle of Martin for 

a 1-yard loss, and the running 

back was stuffed again at the 

line on second down. But a 

7-yard pass on third down set 

up a fourth-and-4, which the 

Indians converted. 

As the drive continued,

Gilbert and Holder combined 

for a tackle for loss, 

and defensive back Austin 

Omiecinski nearly had an 

interception on a tipped ball. 

But in the end, Lemont made 

plays when necessary to keep 

the drive alive, and the Indians 

capped it with a 4-yard 

run by Mathias, who faked a 

handoff left and went into the 

end zone off the right tackle. 

The Titans had probably 

their best chance to score on 

the next offensive series, after 

Jojairo Gallegos returned 

the kickoff 31 yards to the 

Titans’ 46. Zientara picked 

up 16 yards running left out 

of the pistol formation on the 

first play, and he later threw 

an 11-yard pass to senior 

receiver Justin Taylor (five 

catches, 59 yards) to get to 

the Indians’ 26-yard line. 

But on the next play, Zientara 

(11-of-14, 2 INTs) threw 

a ball to the goal line that 

Lemont’s Tyler Gray made a 

play on, going up and making 

the interception to give 

the Indians the ball back. 

After the two slow-moving 

touchdown drives, the Indians 

began to pick up big 

chunks of yardage, scoring 

on a 27-yard pass to end the 

first-half scoring and 43- and 

42-yard runs in the second 

half. 

“[Lemont] and Hillcrest 

are the top [teams] in the 

conference,” Johnston said. 

“... We know they’re a good 

team, and they have a good 

program, so we had to rise 

our game tonight. We shot 

ourselves in the foot with 

penalties and mistakes, and 

[that] can’t happen.” 

Johnston said his message 

to the team after the game 

would be simple: learn from 

the game and move on. 

The Titans host Bremen at 

7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 13, and 

will need to win that game 

and the following week 

against Evergreen Park to become 

playoff eligible.

Playoff-bound Thunderbolts run in the rain 

Ground game helps 

Andrew overcome 

Thornwood, elements 

RANDY WHALEN 


When Adam Lewandowski 

took over as the Andrew 

football coach before last 

season, he outlined his plan 

for the Thunderbolts. 

“We talk about our goals 

and the process,” Lewandowski 

said in August of 

2016. “We talk about why 

we do these things and that 

nothing [in the preparation] 

is meaningless. ... It’s a matter 

of putting it all together 

and getting the team back to 

prominence.” 

Just more than a year later, 

that plan has worked. The T-

*Fluarix is preservative free. 

Bolts are in the playoffs. 

Andrew literally ground 

out a 14-6 victory over 

Thornwood on a soggy 

field Friday night, Oct. 6, 

in South Holland. With the 

win, the T-Bolts (6-1, 5-1) 

clinched their first postseason 

berth since 2013. Thornwood 

(0-7, 0-4), which was 

a playoff team last year, lost 

its third game by eight points 

or fewer. 

“Our record is a product of 

the hard work the players and 

coaches have put in and the 

support we’ve got from the 

community,” Lewandowski 

said following the Thornwood 

win. “Good things 

happen when you work hard, 

have a clear vision, a goal 

and focus on them.” 

Just as they had in a 17- 

14 Week 5 win at Lockport 

Township, the T-Bolts 

gained all 262 of their yards 

on the ground. And just as he 

has many times this season, 

senior Cole Griffin led the 

way. On offense, he had 22 

carries for 170 yards from 

his running back position. 

And on defense, he clinched 

the victory by picking off 

a pass on a ball thrown by 

senior quarterback Dion Alexander 

at his own 45 with 

2 minutes and 42 seconds to 

play in the game. 

Griffin then carried the 

ball four straight times to run 

out the clock. 

“I saw that same formation 

on a previous play, so 

I jumped it” Griffin said of 

the read for his clinching interception. 

“I had to do it for

Presented by Supervisor Paul O’Grady and the Board of Trustees 

the team. We ground it out. 

With the rain and the fact 

that this is probably our only 

game this season that we 

play on grass, it was hard. 

But we got the job done.” 

Andrew has now got a 

playoff berth done, too. 

“It’s awesome and a great 

feeling,” Griffin said of 

clinching the postseason. “We 

just had to believe, and coach 

drilled it into us. After Week 

1, we made some changes and 

figured it out. We started winning 

and kept it going. Now, 

we just have to keep working.” 

Griffin kept going on the 

opening drive of the game. It 

had rained on and off all day 

but stopped right before the 

game. After the kickoff, the 

rains returned. Undeterred, 

Griffin had six carries for 63 

yards in a game-opening 70- 

yard, eight-play drive. He 

capped it off on a 25-yard 

TD run with 6:29 left in the 

first half. 

The T-Bolts literally fell 

just short on their next drive, 

having it stall out at the 

Thornwood 1 when sophomore 

Rocco Iannantone was 

pulled down just short on the 

goal line on fourth down. 

Aided by a 15-yard penalty, 

one of many in the game, 

the Thunderbirds went 99 

yards in two plays. Senior 

Peerless Jackson delivered 

the big play by bursting up 

the middle, getting into the 

clear and outracing everyone 

for an 80-yard TD on the first 

play of the second quarter. 

But his two-point conversion 

run was stopped short, and 

Andrew still led 7-6. 

Following an exchange 

of punts, the T-Bolts scored 

again when senior quarterback 

Jack Condon carried 

it in from a yard out with 

1:18 left in the first half.

Andrew senior running back Cole Griffin, who accounted 

for 170 of the Thunderbolts’ 262 yards, runs the ball Friday, 

Oct. 6, at Thornwood.

Quarterback Jack Condon gets the edge. His late secondquarter 

touchdown run helped the Thunderbolts clinch a 

playoff berth. 

Benes added the extra point, 

and Andrew led 14-6. That 

would stand up as the final 

score, as a penalty-filled second 

half produced no points. 

Andrew, which attempted 

one pass and had it go incomplete, 

had a drive stall and 

go backwards after reaching 

the Thunderbird 5 to start 

the third quarter. Then, with 

9:13 to play in the game, the 

T-Bolts missed a 32-yard 

field goal. But Thornwood 

could barely cross midfield 

in the second half. 

Senior linebacker Tommy 

Piekarz had a fumble recovery 

in the first half, and junior 

defensive lineman Ryan 

Swims recovered one in the 

second half. As he has been 

all season, junior outside 

linebacker Ameer Aqel was 

big on defense with a couple 

of sacks for the T-Bolts, who 

held the ball for 35:14 in the 

game and limited Thornwood 

to 118 total yards. 

“It was a team effort, and 

everyone contributed,” Aqel 

said. “It’s a lot different [than 

last year] and a great feeling. 

Everyone wants it, and it’s 

everything we worked for. 

You’ve just got to believe.” 

Andrew hosts Homewood- 

Flossmoor this Friday, Oct. 

13, at 7:15 p.m. in a SWSC 

matchup between a pair of 

teams that have already qualified 

for the playoffs.

RANDY WHALEN 


This is the time of year 

teams want to play their 

best golf, and the Lockport 

Township boys golf team did 

just that. 

Providence senior Tyler 

Roat, who easily won the individual 

regional championship 

with a 6-under-par 66, 

also played his best golf of 

the year. 

Lockport picked a great 

time to win its first tournament 

of the season. Freshman 

Ben Sluzas paced the 

Porters with an even-par 72, 

as the Porters’ top carded 

players all shot 78 or better 

for a total of 305. That 

was three strokes better than 

Providence (308) and four 

better than the host Knights 

(309) Oct. 3 in the Class 

3A Lincoln-Way Central 

Regional at Sanctuary Golf 

Course in New Lenox. 

Lincoln-Way East (313) 

placed fourth and Sandburg 

(318) fifth. Joliet Central 

(323), Lincoln-Way West 

(331), Andrew (333), Stagg 

(358) and Romeoville (441) 

rounded out the 10-team regional. 

Andrew senior Mohan Raval, 

in his third season on the 

varsity, qualified for the sectional 

as an individual for the 

third straight season. He did 

that by shooting a 79 in last 

week’s regional. He hoped to 

advance to state for the first 

time in his high school career 

this week, but he also knew 

he had to play more consistently 

for that to happen. 

“I had a quadruple bogey 

on the sixth hole and a 

bogey on the ninth,” Raval 

said. “But the back nine was 

pretty solid. Coach [Wally 

Zukowski] told me to stop 

thinking, and that’s what 

I did. I fixed it up and was 

pretty solid at the end.” 

Overall, it was a solid year 

for the Thunderbolts on the 

links. 

“We had 10 dual meet wins 

for the second year in a row,” 

Zukowski said. “Going into 

the season, there were a lot of 

question marks, but the guys 

stepped up and did fine. [In 

the regional], Mohan came 

back to make some great 

putts at the end, and that’s a 

testament to him.” 

Junior Max Smyth (83) 

and senior Scott Youngbrandt 

(83) were next on the 

Andrew scoring list. Sophomore 

Billy Nagel (88) along 

with juniors Nathan Wetmore 

(89) and Mike Healy 

(96) rounded out the T-Bolts’ 

scores. 

It was the first regional 

title for Lockport since 2010 

and seventh since 2000. 

“This is our lowest score 

of the year as a team,” Sluzas 

said. “We’ve been finishing 

second or third a lot. We were 

putting up good scores but 

couldn’t win one. We thought, 

as a team, if everyone played 

well, played consistent, we 

could do it. This feels great, 

and it gives us a lot of confidence 

going into sectional.” 

The sectional, which was 

scheduled for Monday, Oct. 

9, was hosted by Homewood-Flossmoor 

at Balmoral 

Woods Golf Course in Crete. 

“We’ve been finishing 

second and third, but I knew 

the guys had it in them,” 

Lockport coach Matt Eber 

said. “We came out and did 

what we could do and [did] 

not get out of our game. I 

was really happy with how 

we handled the [rainy and 

windy] conditions.” 

Freshman V.J. Greci (77) 

and juniors Eric Gasienica 

(78) and Nolan Weis (78) 

were the rest of the Top 4 for 

the Porters. Junior John Weis 

(88) and senior Reilly Mc- 

Adams (98) were the other 

Lockport golfers. 

“It was a tremendous effort 

from both freshmen,” 

Eber said. “Ben’s usually a 

steady 75 or 77 for us. He 

never blows up, but we were 

just waiting for him to put up 

that really low number, and 

this was a great time for him 

to do it.” 

Sluzas tied East senior 

Kevin Bullington (72) for 

second overall. 

“I birdied the first hole, 

and that’s a momentum maker,” 

Sluzas said. “I had three 

birdies on the front nine, on 

one, six and eight. The key 

was making putts. I was hitting 

greens in regulation and 

making putts, and if I wasn’t 

hitting greens, I was making 

par.” 

Did Sluzas expect to make 

this sort of impact on the 

team as a freshman? 

“Not really,” he said. “I just 

wanted to shoot my best and 

keep up with the old guys.” 

For Providence, Roat is 

the old guy. He’s the only 

returning player from the 

Celtics state qualifying team 

from last year. He showed 

his experience by shooting 

his best-ever score in tournament 

competition. 

“I had a 65 once just golfing 

with friends,” he said. “But 

in my head [at the regional], 

I took the wind and the rain 

into consideration, and I was 

thinking if I shot even par 

or 1-under, I’d be fine. Usually, 

I’ll throw up a ridiculous 

number in my head and it 

never happens, but [at the regional] 

it happened.” 

“That’s as good of a score 

as I’ve seen,” Providence 

coach John Platt said. “What 

helped Tyler was he had seven 

birdies and one bogey, on 

14. Last year, we had six kids 

that could put up a score like 

that. This year, we’ve been 

average. But not Tyler [at the 

regional]. He played great.” 

Roat started great, and it 

continued. 

“My driving all day was 

consistent, a tight draw,” 

Roat said. “I couldn’t ask for 

a better drive. A lot of holes 

into the wind were a lot harder, 

so I’d take precautions, 

but the holes downwind, 

I’d go at with aggression. I 

had four birdies on the front 

nine. When I made the turn 

for the back-nine, [Platt] told 

me to just approach it like it 

was a new nine. That’s what 

I did, and I was within two 

inches [of an eagle] on No. 

13. I tapped in for birdie.” 

In addition to Roat, the other 

carded scores for the Celtics 

were senior Ethan Judge 

(80), junior Joey Utz (81) and 

senior Ben Zawicki (81). Seniors 

Nick Lappin (82) and 

Andy Holm (89) were the 

other two golfers for Providence, 

which saw its streak 

of four straight team regional 

titles come to an end. 

The host Knights had a 

fantastic season, winning 

all their dual meets plus five 

tournaments, and golfed well 

in the regional. But right 

now, it’s all about moving on. 

“At this point, you just 

want to advance,” Central 

coach Ryan Pohlmann said. 

“One of the tough things to 

do in the postseason is play 

your home course. We didn’t 

play as focused. But this is a 

moment we had to get past, 

and we did. 

“E.J. [Charles] made a 

birdie on 16 and 18 to get a 

good score, and Ryan [Nolan] 

shot a 74 to win the 

[SouthWest Suburban Conference 

Red Division] tournament 

and had a 75 [at the 

regional].” 

Nolan led the way for the 

Knights. Charles, a fellow
