Bocce ball can be serious
competition. It can also be a
lot of fun.
Both the competitive and
enjoyable aspects of bocce
were on display at the 12th
annual Special Olympics
Area 7 bocce tournament.
Approximately 300 participants,
ranging from
10 years old to those in
their 70s – including special
Olympians and their
non-special needs bocce
partners – competed in the
event held Saturday, Oct.
14, at Roma Sports Club in
Frankfort. The club donated
its facility for the event.
Bocce has been a Special
Olympics sport for 12 years,
and a regional tournament
for Special Olympics Area 7
has been held annually during
that time. This year was
the first time the tournament
was held in Frankfort.
From left, Scott Lorenz, his son, Nick, and Peter Claxton
and his dad, Dennis, show off their medals after taking first

Area 7 Director Kevin
O'Brien said bocce is one of
the fastest-growing Special
Olympics sports for a couple
of reasons.
“It's a thing you can do
with a sibling, or a family
member of any sort,”
O'Brien said. “And it's a
very easy recreational sport
to do – it doesn't take a lot of
equipment or space. But it's

Summit Hill School District 161 Board of Education
Summit Hill officials accept 2016-2017 audit
Megann Horstead
Freelance Reporter
The Summit Hill District
161 Board of Education reviewed
a copy of its 2016-
2017 audit prepared by Mack
& Associates at its Oct. 11
meeting.
Mack & Associates audit
manager Erica Blumberg
presented an overview of the
results and went on to say the
district received a clean opinion.
Typically, representatives
for Mack & Associates come
out to the district to complete
testing once toward the end
of the fiscal year and again
in August. The firm has
found the district’s finances
to be in order the past three
years.
This year marks the third
time Summit Hill District
161 has worked with Mack
& Associates to complete a
financial audit.
“We’ve seen improvements
and steps forward each
year,” Blumberg said. “The
audit is completed in an efficient
manner where we’re
given everything we need,
access to what we need,
questions are answered completely
and timely, and we
very much appreciate that.
Overall, [we experienced] a
very smooth audit process.
We commend the office staff
for that.”
Last year, the district saw
a revenue increase of more
than $450,000, which it attributes
to delays in state payment
that came in subsequent
to the end of fiscal year 2017.
D161 has experienced a decrease
in debt and an increase
in its net position in reviewing
the results from the audit.
To achieve this aim, officials
paid out more than $50 million
to close out fiscal year
2017 to create a roughly $20
million net position to end
the year.
“Outstanding bonds,
they’re down accordingly,”
Blumberg said.
Blumberg took a moment
to review financial statements
highlighting the budget
versus the actual schedule
for use of the district’s general
funds.
“It does appear the district
was over budget both on revenues
and expenses — that
is, if you take out the effect
of those on behalf payments
that I talked about, which
were estimated based on last
year’s number,” she said.
“The unforeseen increase [in
state funding] resulted in an
overage on both ends. [It’s]
nothing that we’re worried
about in terms of operation.
Round it up
A brief recap of action and
discussion from the Oct.
11 regular meeting of the
Summit Hill District 161
Board of Education:
• Officials approved the
publication of a notice for
a tax levy hearing set for
7 p.m. Dec. 13.
• The school board will
hold its next regular
meeting 7 p.m. Oct.
25 at the Mary Drew
Administration Center.
The operating budget is very
much accurate and worked
for the district.”
Blumberg said this is a
“positive” financial position
for the district to be in.
“You’ve got the funds that
you need on hand to make the
expenditures you anticipate,”
she said.
The financial information
and accompanying statements
compiled by Mack &
Associates provide officials
with details to guide officials
for financial planning purposes.
The firm formed its
opinion based on its efforts
to test transactions,
utilize a risk-based approach
and examine internal
controls.
In a 5-0 decision, the board
voted to accept the results as
presented.
Also at the meeting, Summit
Hill officials took a
moment to recognize the
district’s principals during
the Illinois Principals Association’s
commemoration
of National Principals
Month.
“Summit Hill School District
161 honors today our
exemplary school leaders
who clearly are committed
to serving our students,” Superintendent
Barb Rains said.
“We celebrate these hardworking
professionals who
mean so much to the families
we serve. They’re not just
the lead educators in their
buildings, but in many ways
the heart and soul of their
school.”
The Board of Education
took time to thank its principals
by shaking hands with
each of one of those present
during the meeting and went
on to acknowledge them by
sharing a series of videos in
which students express their
appreciation for what they
do.
Among those recognized
were Francie Boss, Dana
Wright, Jason Isdonas, Michael
Ruffalo, Laura Goebel,
Daniel Pierson, Tracy Bulfer,
Maura Carroll and Colin
Bradley.
Rewards-based marketing business comes to Frankfort
Nuria Mathog, Editor
A new marketing company
in Frankfort aims to help
businesses attract more customers
by rewarding people
who provide successful referrals.
Previously located in Burr
Ridge, Incentivefox moved
to its new West Lincoln
Highway office in Frankfort
in July. The company is led
by a group of Frankfort residents
— CEO Mark Tepper,
President Rick Partyka and
Director of Marketing Robin
Curtner — and recently
joined the Frankfort Chamber
of Commerce.
"All dealerships have referrals,
but they don't know
how to keep track of them;
they write checks to reward
the people that sent other
people in," Partyka said.
"It's really time-consuming
and kind of an antiquated
process. So, what we've
done is we've developed
some software to allow
them to manage this on their
computers, over the internet
basically. It gives them the
ability to have customers."
Customers who submit
successful referrals can
earn a customized prepaid
Visa card containing awards
from $50 up to $500, depending
on the client, he
said.
"There's a lot of dealerships
across the country that
we work with," he said. "It's
primarily with dealerships,
but it's also with other clients
like insurance agencies,
restoration companies,
HVAC companies, so it really
has an application to
more than just auto dealerships,
cause referrals work
almost everywhere."
The company's products
are designed to encourage
people to play a more active
role in recommending businesses
to people they know,
Tepper said.
"If you talk about the
heating and air conditioning
side, if a friend of yours
calls you up and says,
'My air conditioning's not
working,' well, what's going
to motivate you to suggest
to somebody who you
already know and you've
done business with?" he
said. "And you'll get a reward
for that as well, so
it's really much more of
building out those types of
relationship."
Rick Partyka (left) Robin Curtner and Mark Tepper (right) stand outside the Incentivefox
office, a marketing company that focuses on referral rewards. The company moved to its
new location in Frankfort in July. Photo by Nuria Mathog/22nd Century Media
Curtner said she expects
Incentivefox will also be able
to help small businesses in
Frankfort get off the ground.
"You're always more likely
to refer someone when
you know you're getting
something in return too," she
said. "So, when people know
that, obviously, it's an incentive.
But it benefits the business
as well."

Scouts create gaga ball pit for Eagle project
Nuria Mathog, Editor
Through the hard work of
a local Boy Scout troop, children
in Frankfort now have a
new recreational opportunity
to enjoy at Main Park.
Jack Malcom, a senior
at Lincoln-Way East High
School and a member of
Frankfort Boy Scout Troop
270, collaborated with his
fellow Scouts this fall to
construct a wooden gaga
ball pit at the park. Malcom
created the pit for his Eagle
Scout project — a service
project necessary to obtain
the rank of Eagle Scout, the
highest attainable rank in the
Boy Scout program.
The inspiration for his
project came from seeing
the rise in popularity of gaga
ball, a fast-paced sport similar
to dodgeball, Malcom
said. The game, which is
played in an octagonal pit,
involves throwing a ball at
other players and attempting
to eliminate them by hitting
them below the knees.
"It started popping up at
a lot of the summer camps I
was going to, and I noticed
that there was a lot of appeal
for the kids who played it
because of how high-turnover
it was and how fastpaced
it was," Malcom said.
"You could get a lot of kids
in and out. It was pretty skill
based... so, when it came
time for me to start thinking
about what I was going to
start doing for an Eagle Project,
I said, instead of doing
landscaping, which is pretty
common, I said, 'Hey, what
if we did this?'"
About 30 scouts in his 40-
50 member troop contributed
to the project, he said.
Several members of Troop
270 have completed their
own Eagle projects recently,
including constructing planter
boxes at the park and redoing
the front entryway of
the local Veterans of Foreign
Wars post.
The group met at the park
Sept. 23 to begin preparations,
Malcolm said.
"The first day we were
taking all the boards and we
made sure everything was
sanded down, and then we
drilled the holes and made
sure everything was fitted
for the kit," he said.
On Oct. 9, the scouts returned
to Main Park for the
construction phase, which
involved assembling the
wooden sides into an octagon
and adding the limestone
at the bottom of the pit.
The boards will be stained at
a later date.
Malcom was responsible
for approaching local businesses
to solicit funding
for the project. He received
donations from the Lowe's
Home Improvement in New
Lenox, Dunkin' Donuts in
Mokena, Jewel-Osco in
Frankfort, Aurelio's Pizza
in Frankfort, Lawn N Order
Landscape Services, Inc. in
New Lenox, the Frankfort
Lions Club and the Frankfort
Park District, which contributed
both the limestone and
the kit for the project.
"It was a lot of work doing
the paperwork and getting a

lot of different organizations
coordinated together, as well
as when we were actually out
here building the entire thing,
coordinating all these kids at
the same time and trying to
run four groups of people doing
four separate tasks at the
same time," Malcom said.
He added he also wanted
to thank Ed Newton, the
Frankfort Park District's superintendent
of building and
grounds, for his patience and
cooperation.
"He helped an incredible
amount getting everything
put through on the park district
side." Malcom said.
For Malcom, who became
a Cub Scout in first grade
and a Boy Scout at the end of
fifth grade, completing the
Eagle project was a highly
rewarding experience.
"It was really satisfying
to see everything come together
and especially as well
as it did," Malcom said. "I'm
really happy with the product
as it is right now, and I
think that especially given
that there's a preschool right
there, there's going to be a
lot of people getting use out
of it. So that's always satisfying
to know that there's
going to be a large group of
kids that'll be playing here."

gins with one participant
rolling a small rubber ball
called a pallino, which after
coming to rest serves the
same purpose as the stake
in horseshoes or target in
curling. Athletes then each
take turns rolling the bocce
balls, with the goal of placing
the ball closest to the
pallino – or knocking the
pallino closer to one's balls.
Only the individual or team
whose ball rests closest to
the pallino can score, with a
point awarded for each ball
closer to the pallino than the
opponent's best roll.
If a person can roll a ball,
he or she can play bocce.
Some of the athletes who
competed in the tournament
are wheelchair-bound or
have other physical limitations
but are perfectly capable
of playing bocce – and
playing well.
The Lincoln-Way Area
Special Recreation Association,
which serves people
with special needs in Mokena,
Frankfort, New Lenox
and several other communities,
was represented at the
competition by a contingent
of roughly 15 athletes, including
the non-special
needs bocce partners of
special Olympians. Tom
Krauss, support services supervisor
for LWSRA, said
competitors with the Hawks
– as the association's teams
are known – had been preparing
for a couple months
for the competition.
“They were really excited,”
Krauss said. “There's
been a lot of smiles – they've
been seeing a lot of old
friends from other [special
recreation] agencies that we
see at all our different events
– and win or lose, whether
they got gold, silver or one
of those participation ribbons,
they've been happy
and smiling.

and good sportsmanship played bocce, but never in a
all around. Everyone supports
each other, everyone
was always a good sport,
and that's the best thing
to see.”
LWSRA has fielded bocce
teams for several years, and
many of the participants
have played in competitions.
Krauss, who was a member
competitive format until last
Saturday.
“It's definitely challenging,”
Krauss said. “A lot of
times, the things you want to
do don't happen the way you
think it'll happen, but sometimes
you get lucky. You can
tell the ones who have been
doing it for a long time be-
STEAKS • CHOPS • PRIME RIB
SEAFOOD • CHICKEN • RIBS
cause they have the arm motion
down and the strategy
down. So, I've got a lot to
learn.”
Bocce can be played on
a variety of surfaces, most
of them harder than the artificial
field turf surface at
Roma.
“The interesting part is
wherever the team practices
versus where you're playing,
it's always going to be a different
surface and you're going
to have a different environment,
so you've got to try
to adapt.”
The Hawks team of Dennis
and Peter Claxton and
Scott and Nick Lorenz won
gold and advanced to the
state competition for the
second consecutive year.
The Lorenzes also made it
to state as a father-son “unified”
team.
“It's pump time,” exclaimed
Peter, a special
Olympian who has been
competing in various sports
for 30-plus years, when
informed his team had advanced
to state again.
“I love it,” said Nick, a
special Olympian, of bocce.
“I like rolling the ball – just
like bowling.”
Nick noted he would
be competing in a Special
Olympics sectional bowling
competition the following
day, and Scott, his dad, said
Nick's bocce skills have improved
since he began bowling.
Dennis Claxton has served
as a volunteer bocce coach
for LWSRA and teaches
his players “cutthroat” – or
knocking an opponent's balls
away from the pallino.
"I love cutthroat; this is
just fun,” he said. “We don't
practice in the normal fashion
of just rolling – I set
targets out there and have
them shoot. I put them in
pressure situations and tell
them, 'You've got one shot,
and you're going to win state
if you do it.'”

Fawn’s Fall Fest & Pumpkin Farm offers family fun
Megann Horstead
Freelance Reporter
Tinley Park resident Kelly
Kersh has one goal in mind:
to make it a tradition to set
aside time for fall, family fun.
When Fawn’s Fall Fest &
Pumpkin Farm in Frankfort
reopened in September, she
knew where to go.
“[This is my] second time
[here,]” Kersh said. “I try
to make it an annual family
event. Ever since my son
[was born]—he’s two now—
I try to come every year. I just
like the atmosphere.”
On the farm, people can
enjoy the petting zoo, jumbo
jumper, barrel rides and a
shooting gallery.
“This is our seventh year
open,” said Patricia Tracy,
who helps run her parents'
farm. “We’ve been growing
every single year. We try to
add new attractions every
year.”
This fall, the farm features
new inflatable attractions for
people to try.
“We try just to add little by
little to make it different every
year,” Tracy said.
The farm tends to draw in
people who come back year
after year.
Kersh enjoyed the hayride
and watched on as the
children entered the bouncy
house. Later, she went on
to try her hand at a game of
bags.
“It’s my first time bringing
my stepdaughter [to
Fawn’s Fall Fest & Pumpkin
Farm,]” Kersh said. “It’s our
first day, [and] she like[s] it.
I’m trying to bring people
every year because I like it.”

Are your thyroid symptoms worsening while your doctor says your lab
tests look “normal”?
Have you been told you have Hashimoto’s and there’s nothing else that
can be done?
Are you tired of suffering year after year with no hope for better health?
Do you suffer with thyroid symptoms because you are being misdiagnosed
and poorly managed?
“Do you wonder why, even though you are on thyroid medication,
you still suffer with all of the symptoms of your thyroid condition? Or
maybe initially you felt better on your thyroid medication until all the
symptoms started to come back? You are cordially invited to get your
questions answered and learn about new protocols in the management
and support of many thyroid conditions-including Hashimoto’s
and Graves Disease.” ~Dr. Ed Beyer

3-year-old granddaughters,
Savannah and Jocelyn.
“We’ve been here a couple
times,” Lori said. “The price is
fabulous, and the kids have an
absolute blast. It’s clean, and
it’s just awesome. I like [this
farm,] so much better than the
other ones I’ve gone to with
my kids and my grandkids.
We come every year.”
Lori said her granddaughters

“They like the jumpies,

jump as much as they want

Savannah said her favorite
part, though, is difficult to
pinpoint.
“[It is] probably everything,”
she said. “I can’t decide.”
Lori said the farm creates
many special memories for

“I take tons of pictures,”
she said.
Savannah went on to say

Mokena-area teachers
recognized with award
T.J. Kremer III
Contributing Editor
The Illinois State Board
of Education announced
Oct. 11 the statewide recipients
of the 2017-18 “Those
Who Excel” awards. The
awards honor outstanding
classroom teachers, educational
leaders, and support
personnel for their contributions
to their schools and
communities. Two among
those being recognized are
from Summit Hill District
161: Annette Barron, a language
arts teacher at Summit
Hill Junior High, and
Audrey Fields, an occupational
therapist from Frankfort
Square.
“It was both an honor and
a privilege to have been
not only nominated for
the award but also to have
won,” Barron said. “Summit
Hill has many outstanding
teachers, so I was quite
surprised and honored to
have won. Being a recipient
of this award could not have
been possible without the
daily support that I receive
from my colleagues. That
support comes in the form
of sharing lessons, planning
cross-curricular activities
and collaborating on an ongoing
basis.
“In addition to the support
received, I am equally
grateful to Susan Hartley
for nominating me. Thank
you Mrs. Hartley and staff
at Summit Hill Junior High
for making the 2016-17
school year a memorable
one.”
“We are very proud of our
ISBE ‘Those Who Excel’
recipients Annette Barron
... and Audrey Fields,” said
Barb Rains, superintendent
of Summit Hill District 161.
“Both individuals go above
and beyond each day to support
our students in any way
they can.”
State education officials
will honor 235 outstanding
Illinois educators at
the sold-out 42nd annual
Those Who Excel/Teacher
of the Year Banquet. Honorees
will include the 10
Teacher of the Year finalists,
one of whom the State
Board will name the top
Illinois educator for 2018.

Lincoln-Way chemistry teachers bring back Chem South
Submitted by Lincoln-Way
Community High School
District 210
On Sept. 21, Lincoln-Way
teachers welcomed chemistry
teachers from the south
suburbs to Lincoln-Way East
to restart Chem South meetings.
Chem South allows local
teachers to connect and
collaborate with other chemistry
teachers from around
the area.
Lincoln-Way Central
teachers, Liz Hamann and
Lauren Gbur, along with
Lincoln-Way East teacher
Carlie Premo, put together
this learning experience for
Chemistry educators.
“With this reboot of the organization,
chemistry teachers
can learn so much from one
another and having Liz, Lauren,
and Carlie at the helm has
great impact for the Chemistry
department and District
210,” said Sarah Highfill,
Lincoln-Way Central Science
Department Chair.
Chem South originated a
few years ago through Lincoln-Way
chemistry teachers.
This year, the department
wanted to bring back
the meetings, which will alternate
between the Lincoln-
Way East Campus and Lincoln-Way
Central Campus.
At the first meeting of this
school year, the theme was
“Start the Year off Right.”

important role in the voting
process,” Voots said.
“As hands-on participants
in democracy, they ensure
that our elections are administered
fairly and in accordance
with the law. We simply
couldn’t have an election
without their dedication and
commitment.”
Judges are responsible for
the proper and lawful conduct
of the election at each
polling place. They can
earn $150 for each election
contingent upon attending
an election judge training
class. Additional pay can
be earned for taking on extra
responsibilities. All interested
applicants must be
a U.S. citizen, a registered
voter or a high school senior
in good standing. In
addition, they must be able
to speak, read, and write the
English language along with
being skilled in the fundamental
rules of arithmetic.
Election judges cannot be a
precinct committeeman or a
candidate on the ballot for
any office.

FROM THE NEW LENOX PATRIOT
Hoyt says goodbye to Ranch
Frostie, looks toward retirement
In small towns — places that
lack the towering skyscrapers or
highly concentrated city centers
— little things can take on bigger
roles.
An old barn and farm, a war memorial,
a bandshell, a train station,
a mom-and-pop store — in small
towns, the people can make the
smallest of things into a must-visit
destination, sometimes though
nothing more than injecting their
own emotions into it.
In New Lenox, Ranch Frostie
is one of those places. Located at
1259 N. Cedar Road, the soft-serve
ice cream and hot dog stand has
catered to the guilty pleasures and
delights of the locals for nearly five
decades.
And while the current owner,
Teri Hoyt, is preparing to say goodbye
to the business, she hopes that
it can live on to continue to create
spring and summer memories for
New Lenox residents.
Over the years, Hoyt amassed
quite a collection of memories at
the ice cream stand.
“We have sisters and brothers
working and carrying on the tradition,”
she said. “Or we’d have little
kids come up to the window, saying
when they grew up they would
work here. A lot of those kids did
come and work for us. Those are
the treasured moments.”
Now, Hoyt said hopes that the
same support she received from
New Lenox will be shown to
whomever takes over the Ranch
Frostie. And when the stand reopens
in the spring, whether it is in
March or April, she knows where
she will be.
“I’ll be there, with bells on, to
get my ice cream,” she said.

FROM THE MOKENA MESSENGER
Mokena Woman’s Club set for
44th annual Holli-Daze fair
The Mokena Woman’s Club,
member of the General Federation
of Women’s Clubs, is to host its
annual Holli-Daze Arts & Crafts
Show from 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Oct.
28 and 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Oct. 29, at
the Lincoln-Way East High School
Field House, 201 Colorado Ave., in
Frankfort.
More than 150 crafters and vendors
are slated to be there, offering
seasonal wares, such as Christmas
wreaths, floral arrangements and
other decorative crafts.
In addition al to holiday-style
crafts, artisans also will make
available for purchase knitted and
crocheted items, hand-made American
Girl apparel and custom stationery.
Mary MacKenzie, a volunteer
with the GFWC Mokena Woman’s
Club, said this is the only fundraiser
of the year for the group, and the
proceeds go toward a variety of local
services, including scholarships
for high school seniors.
Door prizes will be awarded every
30 minutes during the two-day
event. Entry for the prizes is part
of the cost of admission, which is
$4 for those ages 12 and older. The
prizes are all donated by the crafters.

FROM THE TINLEY JUNCTION
Third time the charm for Andrew
boys golfer
Coming into the season, the Andrew
boys golf team was poised for
a resurgence. And for the first time
in nine years, the Thunderbolts
sent a golfer to state.
After qualifying for the sectional
the past three seasons, T-Bolts senior
Mohan Raval also advanced
to state for the first time, as he was
one of a trio of players who shot 76
Oct. 9 at the Class 3A Homewood-
Flossmoor Sectional at Balmoral
Woods Golf Course in Crete.
“I was only 1-over through 15
and had played really solid,” Raval
said. “I had an earlier birdie that
was almost an eagle, as I putted in
from 4 inches. The last few holes, I
was grinding out. I just didn’t want
to get in trouble [and miss the cut].
“[Going to state] was a goal of
mine. It feels really good to go. After
[coming up short] last season, I
said to myself, ‘I can go out there
and play with those guys.’”
The previous Andrew golfer
to qualify for state was Paul
Townsend in 2008.
“He’s the seventh player in
school history to advance to state,
and the first since 2008,” Andrew
coach Wally Zukowski said of Raval.
“He’s the first guy I’ve had go
in my [8 years] here. It’s a testament
to how great of a kid he is.
I’ve seen how he works on his
game, and [at sectional], to have
a five-and-a-half-hour round and
mentally keep it together. I couldn’t
be prouder of him.”

Reporter. For more, visit Tin

FROM THE HOMER HORIZON
Homer Jr. High golfer shows
prowess early
When Lizzie Anderson was just
8 years old, her father bought her a
set of golf clubs for Christmas.
It was a confusing gift for Anderson.
She had never expressed interest
in the game before that.
“She always had a good swing in
softball, so I remember taking her
to a range, and she had no problem
hitting the ball,” Lizzie’s father,
Ron, said. “Her swing wasn’t perfect,
but if I got a large bucket, she
would hit every ball. She would
never stop, where most kids would
lose interest.”
During that summer, Lizzie tried
to get comfortable with the sport
but found she liked travel softball
more. Eventually, travel softball
became more work than it was
worth, and, three years later, Lizzie
picked up golf again.
“When I played again when I
was 11, I was getting sick of travel
softball,” she said. “Golf is just
individual. Whatever you do is
for you, and if you do bad, you do
bad. If you do good, then you get
rewarded.”
Now, at 13 years old, the Homer
Jr. High eighth-grader has found
an affinity for golf. Hours of hard
work and dedication has paid off in
the form of championship wins and
trophies over the past two years.
Lizzie’s most recent accolade
includes winning the Illinois Elementary
School Association’s state
championship at Kellogg Golf
Course in Peoria last month. Lizzie
shot a 76 and beat the second-place
competitor, Isabella Pettersen, by
just one stroke.

FROM THE LOCKPORT LEGEND
Micro-pantry does big things for
hunger in Lockport
“Sometimes the people that are
the most proud ask the least.”
Jeff Eberhard has been helping
the homeless for many years as a
community-service minded individual.
He knows that the above
statement also prevents some
proud individuals, like veterans,
from getting basic human needs,
like food, when they need it. He set
out to change that last year with a
new project.
Eberhard, who co-owns EZ Auto
Sales, a used-car lot in Joliet, installed
a micro-pantry outside the
car lot in hopes of helping people
who need it.
“We’ve always done a lot of
work with the homeless over the
years,” Eberhard said. “We had
seen in Seattle and other places that
they had a couple of these [micropantries]
... and it just seemed like
a more convenient way, or at least
another way, to help those that are
in need.”
Eberhard’s father, Lloyd Eberhard,
constructed the first pantry
that still sits outside the familyowned
car lot in Joliet. And within
the past year, Eberhard said
the micro-pantry idea has been
“snowballing.” New locations
have been added all throughout
the southwest suburbs and the
eighth location was just installed
in Lockport.
“[Some people] won’t ask or
won’t go to a food pantry, but they
will go to something like that because
they don’t have to sign up,”
Eberhard said. “We have a couple
guys who use our food pantry. Both
are veterans that deal with PTSD,
and they will not go to any food
pantry; they won’t ask anybody for
nothing, but they will go and use
that little micro-pantry.”

FROM THE ORLAND PARK PRAIRIE
Orland Township and The Dating
Game: A match made in heaven
It is hard to meet people nowadays.
Between social media,
dating applications and modern
matchmaking services, connecting
with someone on a genuine
level has become a rarity.
Orland Township’s Senior Services
found a remedy for this
courtship conundrum by revisiting
a blast from the past.
On Oct. 5, Supervisor Paul
O’Grady and the Board of Trustees
presented the debut of Orland
Township’s Senior Dating Game
— based on the classic TV series
— and a night full of fun, humor,
flirtation and even a love connection
or two at Orland Chateau.
“The Senior Dating Game came
out of another idea I had a few
years ago for Senior Speed Dating,”
O’Grady explained before
the competition kicked off. “It was
a great event, but it was getting a
little stale, so we were looking to
do something fun to re-energize
everybody. We always had more
women coming out for Senior
Speed Dating than we did men, so
I challenged my staff to come up
with a new idea. They came back
with the Dating Game idea, so we
watched some old clips and decided
that we have to do it.”
Inspired by the original game
show, Orland Township’s event
featured four rounds, each featuring
one bachelor and three bachelorettes.
After the ladies answered
a series of questions, the bachelors
chose which bachelorettes
they would like to take out on a
date. The winning couples were
to be treated to a romantic dinner
at Frankie’s Ristorante, complete
with pictures and a limousine escort.

Having a witch of a time
Frankfort Chamber’s
Witchy Girls Night
Out brings shoppers
to downtown
Amanda Stoll, Assistant Editor
Like a scene from the
1993 film “Hocus Pocus,”
witches descended on downtown
Frankfort last Wednesday,
but they weren’t looking
for immortality — they
were interested in shopping.
The annual Witchy Girls
Night Out event was hosted
by the Frankfort Historic
Business Alliance, now
merged with the Frankfort
Chamber of Commerce.
As in the past, women
dressed up in everything
from witch's hats to full-on
costumes as they browsed
the shops and enjoyed
snacks and drinks.
Alicia Bermes, Director
of the Frankfort Chamber of
Commerce, said one of the
changes made this year was
to have shoppers check in
for the event at a store, rather
than on the green, in hopes
of getting them in the shops.
It also worked out well with
the weather since it was a
rainy evening.
Many new businesses participated
in the event, and
Bermes said that while businesses
do come and go in the
downtown area, none of the
locations are ever vacant for
very long.
Despite the rain, Bermes
said she expected between
300-400 witches to turn out
for the event because there
was a lot of chatter leading
up to the event, and the
Chamber phone was ringing
off the hook with people
asking about it.
Participating stores included
Behnke Studio, Briosa
Boutique, Fuse Salon
& Spa, Isabel’s Journey, La
Vie Vintage, Lil Surprises,

Shops and eateries got
into the Halloween spirit
with discounts and themed
specials of all kinds.
Elwood Alehouse was
serving up mystery buckets
of beer for $13; three for
$5 sliders; and a $2 cup of
blood soup with witch's fingers
specially for the event.
Many of the stores served
their own Witch's Brew,
which consisted of anything
from sangria to apple cider
and snacks. Silver Strand
Boutique offered a discount
on all things black, while
This & That Gifts offered
40 percent off all Halloween
merchandise.
“The Chamber and all
business communities
know that a healthy downtown
creates a healthy
business environment in
your community in general,”
Bermes said. “So, a
healthy downtown helps all
of our outlying businesses
as well.”

Fitness for women
Frankfort fitness
studio Barre It All
promotes wellness
for participants
Amanda Stoll, Assistant Editor
The term “barre” might
bring to mind little girls’
dance classes and tutus, but
a new fitness studio is bringing
the barre workout trend
to town.
A variety of class offerings
involve cardio, strength and
yoga, all centered around the
barre concept.
“Barre is low-weight,
high-rep movements,” said
Kelly Lucio, founder of
Barre It All. “And, it’s really
just connecting the mind and
body so that you’re working
and concentrating on
each muscle to elongate and
strengthen them.”
Lucio said it was important
to her to include many
types of fitness and classes
at her studio so clients don’t
have to go to different gyms
to get their fitness fix.
“When I was living in
the city, I had like a million
different gym memberships,”
she said. “I would
go to CorePower for yoga
and then I would go to Pure
Barre for barre and I would
do cardio at a gym.
“You shouldn’t have three
different memberships. It
should be everything included
under one roof.”
The classes center around
the HIIT concept, cardiovascular
exercises featuring
high intensity interval training,
to burn calories and fat
in a short period of time.
“All of our cardio classes
are based around the principle
of HIIT,” Lucio said.
“...In every cardio class,
you can expect to receive
20-30 minutes of HIIT work
in conjunction with barre
work.”
Lucio and her husband
recently moved to Frankfort
and opened the studio’s second
location. The first location
Lucio opened is in the
Mount Greenwood neighborhood
in Chicago.
And, Lucio said she
doesn’t see the growth of
her business stalling anytime
soon. Her vision for
the Mount Greenwood and
Frankfort locations includes
state-of-the-art studios
with multiple group fitness
rooms, showers, spray tans
and rooms equipped to provide
heated barre and yoga
classes.
While living in the city,
Lucio said she started teaching
barre classes at a park,
steadily gaining clients until
she was able to rent rooms in
different studios where she
could teach. Less than a year
later, she said, she decided to
open her own place — the
Mount Greenwood Barre It
All — which just celebrated
its two year anniversary.
The variety of classes
taught at Barre It All includes
the signature “Barre
It All” class, a full-body
sculpting class that offers a
low-impact workout option
for clients.
“I fell in love with barre
about five years ago, and I’ve
been hooked every since,”
Lucio said. “It is so effective.”
Other classes include HIIT,
Barre-oxing, The Bootcamp,
Metabolic Effect, S.W.A.G:
Sweat, Work, Accelerate
and GO, Yogi-Barre, Vinyasa
Flow Yoga, Yoga Sculpt
and Tabata Torch and Tone,
which Lucio said is her favorite
class.
“I think it’s really effective;
most, if not all, of our clients
see results within two to three
weeks, so when you’re doing

any sort of HIIT and barre
work combined, you’re going
to see results pretty immediately,”
Lucio said about what
makes Barre It All unique. “...
We’re all about empowering
women: empowering them
to be the best versions of
themselves, connecting with
others [and] giving back to
others.
The classes are targeted as
female classes, which Lucio
said doesn’t mean men can’t
attend, but “the workouts are
truly meant for a woman’s
body.”
She said the routines in
each class change consistently,
so clients will not be
doing the same workout over
and over.
Beside her fitness concept,
Lucio said it is important to
her to keep fitness affordable
to those who seek it.
“Fitness should not cost
an arm and a leg,” she said.
“There are some gym memberships
through fitness places
where memberships are
$170-$250, so we are very
committed to keeping prices
really low.”
The current new client special
includes two months of
unlimited classes for $100,
where the regular monthly
membership is $100 per
month. Barre It All also offers
class passes for those
who want to attend classes a
la carte.

Poetry corner
DANDELION
Julie Sanders, Contributing Poet
Some called to be dandelions
Others, flowers perceived to be
Both in the farmer’s garden
The dandelion called a weed.
The flowers are so gorgeous
Their color, beauty, and allure
The dandelion, not so special
Something to endure.
The flowers are so popular
Well liked and chosen often
The dandelion demeanor, stark
Where flowers features soften.
The brilliance, is quite stunning
To stand amongst such beauty
Nothing noteworthy with dandelions
Though flowers can be snooty.
Appearance judged by others
Flaws reflect in the mirror
Though one must look deeper
To see these things clearer.
God does not judge by appearance
Though the dandelion may seem bare
God looks deep within the heart
To see if godly qualities are there.
Whether flower or dandelion
Both are by God’s design
Better is godly character
By God we are defined.

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

bean sprouts, green onions, egg and ground peanuts. The
dish can be served with or without sliced lime. Pictured is
the shrimp option ($14.95).
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.
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.

The crab rangoon appetizer ($6) features six wontons stuffed with crab meat, cream
cheese, celery and water chestnuts, and comes served with sweet and sour sauce.
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).

The Dish
Nowhere near terminal velocity at Siam Marina
Former electrical
engineer still
experimenting with
Asian fusion options
Tim Carroll
Contributing Editor
Served on a bed of greens and vegetables, the grilled,
spicy lemongrass beef ($10 for the appetizer portion) is
served with a side of sriracha.
What do electrical engineering
and running an
Asian fusion restaurant
have in common?
On the surface, they are
not similar at all. But after
talking for a while with
Tammy Pham — executive
chef and co-owner of Siam
Marina in Tinley Park and
a former electrical engineer
— the relation between
electrical engineer and restaurateur,
at least in Pham’s
case, comes into focus.
“We study a lot of chemistry,
a lot of science,” said
Pham, whose husband and
co-owner, Sam Chung, also
is trained in electrical engineering.
“So, you combine
[ingredients] together. In
the kitchen, you still need
science. You need chemistry
in the bar.”
Siam Marina, an Asian
fusion restaurant, opened
nearly 23 years ago in
Calumet City. Three years
ago, the restaurant moved
to Tinley Park. The couple
owns another restaurant in
Merrillville, Indiana, called
Asparagus — so called
because it was Pham and
Chung’s son’s favorite food
as a baby.
Over the course of its
23 years, Siam Marina has
continued to grow — if not
necessarily in space, then
certainly in its menu.
When the restaurant first
opened, Pham did not have
a lot of experience but she
knew she loved to create.
At the beginning, she would
spend her days off and evenings
going to the library
to study cookbooks to learn
basic techniques, then into
the kitchen to create variations
that appealed to her
family’s dining sensibilities.
As she has learned more
and more, the menu grew
from approximately 15
items to the more than 15
items available on the appetizers
portion of the menu
alone.
In addition to bending
recipes she found in cookbooks,
sometimes Pham
said she goes to the grocery
store to see what inspires
her.
“I wake up early in the
morning and go to the market,”
Pham said. “I smell all
the products and see things
and buy a little, come to my
kitchen [and] create for my
husband.”
Sometimes, if the creation
is enough of a hit, it
finds its way to the Siam
Marina kitchen.
“When I opened Siam
Marina, mostly, I just focused
on seafood only,”
Pham said. “But after 20
years of doing business, I

think we have to do more.
“I have to create more
Thai, Vietnamese and
French fusion food.”
That led to the addition
of items like Thai banana
curry duck ($25) or the fivespice
lamb chop ($32), the
latter of which is served on
the bone and comes with
garlic mashed potatoes.
Pham said just as the original
iPhone was never going
to be the end of the line for
Apple’s smartphones, restaurants
need to keep adding
and developing, making
tweaks.
Chris Zervos, a manager
at Siam Marina who has
been working with Pham
and Chung for approximately
10 years, said the
Siam Marina’s Thai banana duck curry ($25) is one of many Asian fusion dishes available
at the Tinley Park restaurant, which is to celebrate its 23rd anniversary in November.

asparagus crispy rolls ($9)
were the first menu item
he tried. The appetizer,
which contains cheese, bacon
and asparagus spears
wrapped in a spring roll
and then served with a dipping
sauce, was one of the
things that drew him to the
restaurant.
“When I tried it, I thought,
‘Cheese and sweet and sour
sauce, I never would’ve
pictured that combination,
ever,’” Zervos said. “And
when I tried it, I just got
a smile on my face, and I
thought, ‘This is the first
time you’re ever going to try
this, and I don’t know if anybody
else is going to ever do
this, but this is awesome.’ It
showed me that the owners
were thinking and not afraid
to try new things, and they
ended up doing things that
nobody else did because
of that.”
As the entrée menu has
developed, so have the dessert
and drink menus. And
the cultural fusion does not
end with the entrées,.
“[The dessert menu contains]
a lot of French classics
and American classics,”
Zervos said. “Like hummingbird
cake is a Southern
cake. ... Crème brûlée,
that’s a French classic that
people expect to see in nicer
restaurants.
“Basically, I definitely
think that people don’t think
enough about our dessert
options, because they think
of us as an Asian restaurant,
and it doesn’t occur to them
that [Pham] has studied so
much French stuff and everything
and wants to bring
those classics out. We do a
lot more dessert than a lot
of places that serve Asian
food.”
“And they’re homemade,”
Pham added.
As for cocktails, they
are plentiful, too. Pham
said there are more than 50
cocktails on the list, and
Zervos said most of them
are not available elsewhere,
as Chung — who Pham
described as a master mixologist
— created the drink
menu to complement Siam
Marina’s food.
For those who may never
have had a martini before,
the restaurant hosts martini
tastings every second
Wednesday of the month.
For $25, patrons get a flight
of four different small martinis.
The one Zervos and Pham
said they often recommend
for patrons ordering spicy
dishes is the Asian pear
martini ($11).
“The sweetness cuts into
[the spiciness] and balances
it out,” Zervos said.
And life — whether it is a
spicy dish with a sweet martini
or a covalent bond with
equal attractive and repulsive
forces — is all about
balance.

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.

Photo Op
Kevin Bullington is a senior
on the Lincoln-Way East
varsity golf team. He advanced
to state for the first
time this year.
1. How long have
you been playing golf
and how did you get
started?
Competitively, I've been
playing since just after sophomore
year ... I played on a
team freshman and sophomore
year, but I focused on
baseball more and I just got
started cause my whole family
played it.
2. Tomorrow you'll be
competing at state for
the first time. What's
your game plan for the
big day?
Just trying it out and
shooting to get good scores.
3. What are you most
looking forward to
about playing at state?
Just enjoying it--it's a pretty
big tournament, so hopefully
competing at my best
level and hopefully playing
pretty good.
4. What factors do you
think have made you so
successful this year?
Probably just learning
how to score well, so even if
I'm not hitting it good, I still
find a way to put the ball in
the hole and get some good
scores down.
5. Are there any
athletes who inspire
you?
Probably Jordan Spieth. I
like how he plays the game.
6. Do you plan to
continue golf after high
school?
Yes, I will.
7. What does your
practice routine typically
look like?
I just do a lot of putting
and chipping and every one
in a while I work on neutralizing
my ball striking.
8. What are some of
your greatest strengths
as an athlete?
I like to think I have a
pretty good mental game, to
kind of stay in it. It's gotten
better over time.
9. Do you have a
favorite memory from
your time playing with
east?
Right now, this memory is
pretty good.
10. What advice would
you give to next year's
team?
Just keep focusing, take it
seriously and go get better
-- and never quit on yourself
when you're playing bad.

Lincoln-Way East has
its first ever Under Armour
All-American: standout senior
defensive end Devin
O’Rourke.
O’Rourke was presented
with an honorary jersey to
mark the occasion on Friday,
Oct. 13, at Lincoln-Way East
High School.
O’Rourke was joined by
his teammates, coaches, faculty,
staff and family as he
accepted the honor.
“I just want to thank
Under Armour for providing
me with this great opportunity,”
O’Rourke said.
“Thank you especially to
my teammates, my coaches
and my family, and everyone
that’s helped me here at
Lincoln-Way [East]. Love
you guys.”
Football head coach Rob
Zvonar had high praise for
O’Rourke, who has amassed
146 tackles, 38 tackles for
loss and 19 sacks, with two
games yet to be played.
“These are amazing accomplishments,

the manner in which Devin
has handled his success,”
Zvonar said. “He has accepted

humility, and went through

great respect and in an unassuming

and 250 pounds.”
Although the focus was
on O’Rourke, he remained
focused on his team and the
task at hand. When asked if
being named an All-American
would distract him
from the final two games,
O’Rourke responded: “Not
at all. The main goal is to
win with our team and eventually
go to the state championship.”

For the second straight season,
Sandburg (340) finished
fourth to just miss going to
state. The Eagles qualified
for state three straight seasons
between 2013-15, but
they still sent a pair of individual
qualifiers to state last
weekend. Those were junior
Hannah Kilbane (78, 8th
overall) and freshman Athena
Kwon (80, 9th overall).
“My front nine was pretty
solid, but I had two double
bogeys on my back nine,”
Kilbane said. “So my front
nine saved me, but I did finish
with four pars in a row
and I’m happy with that.
One of those is Kwon, who
also wasn’t happy with how
she played on her back nine.
But she was happy to go to
state.
“I was doing fine with a
2-over 38 on the front nine,
but then on the back-nine
my drives went right,” Kwon
said. “I’ve been the No. 2
golfer on the team this season,
but I didn’t think about making
it to state. I just thought
about doing my best.”
Sandburg coach Todd Allen
was happy for the pair.
“Hannah had to grind it
out,” he said of Kilbane. “She
didn’t have her best game
and still got a 78. That’s a testament
to her character."
Also qualifying out of the
Waubonsie Valley Sectional
as an individual were Waubonsie
Valley senior Arushi
Singh (75), Oswego East
senior Kiana Krahulik (77),
Yorkville sophomore Kait
Natividad (80), Naperville
Central sophomore Emma
Lim (81), Waubonsie Valley
senior Kerrigan Boose (82),
Plainfield South senior Mandi
Granato (83) and Batavia
senior Madison McCoy (84).

East football defeats Thornwood
Jon DePaolis
Freelance reporter
On a team loaded with talent,
it’s not easy making a
mark. But Lincoln-Way East
junior running back Jordan
Corbett did just that Friday,
Oct. 13, in a Week 8 contest
against Thornwood in
Frankfort.
“Thursday, I was told that
I’d be starting, because the
other running back came
down with an illness,” Corbett
said. “I just knew I had
to really get that inner speed
and power and take something
to the house.”
Corbett, who only played
in the first half, rushed
for 136 total yards on 16
carries — including a
6-yard touchdown run —
leading the Griffins (8-0)
to a 49-6 drubbing of the
Thunderbirds.
The game got off to an explosive
start, as quarterback
Brendan Morrissey busted
off a 35-yard touchdown run
on the game’s first play from
scrimmage.
Later in the quarter, after
three straight runs by Corbett
of 7, 61 and 8 yards respectively,
set the Griffins up
at the Thornwood 1, senior
Turner Pallissard plunged
in for the 1-yard touchdown
run to make it 14-0.
Corbett was rewarded on
the next drive to open the
second quarter, running in a
touchdown from 6 yards out
to make it 21-0.
On the ensuing series for
Thornwood, backed up to
their own 14, the Thunderbirds
opted to punt. But the
snap went high and over
the head of the punter and
out of the end zone, resulting
in a safety to make it
23-0.
The Griffins scored twice
in the final three minutes of
the first half, as Morrissey
ran in a 23-yard touchdown
and backup quarterback Jack
Baltz came on in relief to
sling a 17-yard touchdown
pass to Matt Judd to make it
37-0.
In the game, Morrissey
went 7-of-12 passing for
81 yards, and rushed for 71
total yards on eight carries.
Pallissard caught four passes
for a total of 75 yards.
Defensively, Jaden Hacha
added a sack in the first half.
“I give a lot of credit to
Thornwood, as they were
playing some tough defense
in the first half,” East coach
Rob Zvonar said. “But I
thought our defense kind of
set the tone. I don’t think
they had a first down other
than the penalty for quite
awhile.”
That was the case, as the
only first down the Thunderbirds
had in the first half
was on a roughing the punter
penalty.
On the opening kickoff for
the second half, Thornwood
returned the ball 91 yards for
the touchdown for the Thunderbirds’
only points of the
game. But late in the third
quarter, East running back
Chris Wilder, who ran the
ball on 10 of the team’s 11
plays on the drive, plowed
his way into the end zone
from 1 yard out for the score.
The extra point attempt was
blocked.
Then, after a pass attempt
to start the fourth quarter
was intercepted by East’s
Riley Boyter at the Griffins’
10-yard line and returned to
the Thornwood 14, Wilder
burst along the sideline for
a 14-yard touchdown run to
cap the game’s scoring at
49-6.
Wilder finished with 78 total
yards on 12 carries, while
backup quarterback Jared
Mutter went 2-of-4 passing
for 31 yards. Defensively,
Jeremiah Dawson added a
sack in the second half.
Special night for the seniors
The Week 8 contest was
senior night for the Griffins,
and as such, a lot of emotion
was tied up in the game.
“It was amazing,” Pallissard
said. “We were all emotional
at the beginning. It
still doesn’t feel like we’re
seniors. We were all talking
about how it feels like junior
year. All the fans out there;
us walking in with our parents
— it was one of the best
experiences.”
With the big lead, East
was able to get lots of players
into the game.
“It’s always good when
you get a lot of guys involved,”
Zvonar said. “We
have a big roster. That’s
nobody’s fault. Those guys
are busting their tails during
the week. When you can
get them out here under the
Friday night lights, that’s always
really positive.”
Zvonar said the coaching
staff has loved every senior
group the school has had,
but he admitted that they had
their eyes on this particular
group of seniors for a long
time.
“They were doing great
things with their teammates
from Mokena, and some of
them are over at Lincoln-
Way Central right now doing
a great job,” Zvonar said.
“This senior group here has
been mature, and we have a
lot of trust in them.
“I’ve always said that we
are prepared to lead from the
front if we have to, but if you
can lead from the back, with
your players and seniors doing
most of the leading, that
makes it a lot of fun. That’s
what they’ve done. It’s been
fun.
“They are a special group,
and we have no reason to
doubt in them. We believe
in them. We feel like when
Griffins player Matt Judd catches a touchdown in the
end zone Friday, Oct. 13, during East's game against
Thornwood. The Griffins defeated the Thunderbirds 49-6.
Julie McMann/ 22nd century media
we’re at our best, we’re a
pretty good ball club. That’s
a tribute [to] the seniors and
what they’ve done since we
started in January.”
Next up: A battle with the
’Brook
In Week 9, the Griffins
end the regular season on the
road against Bolingbrook.
On the line: an undefeated
regular season; an undisputed
conference championship;
and almost assuredly
the No. 1 seed in Class 8A
for the playoffs.
“We just have to stay focused,”
Pallissard said of the
regular season finale. “Like
coach said earlier, we’re
now at a point where we just
have to lock down, focus, do
our jobs, execute in practice
and watch film. We have to
play like we’re already in the
playoffs.”
“Just 100 percent focus,”
Corbett said of preparing for
Bolingbrook. “It’s crunch
time now, with Bolingbrook
and then the playoffs.”
Zvonar also alluded to
the team needing to adopt
a “playoff mindset” for the
Bolingbrook game.
“Obviously, if we don’t
get it done, we’ll get to keep
playing,” he said. “But you
prepare for it like it is [one
and done], because it could
make your playoff road different
if you don’t get it
done.
“Being an undefeated conference
champ in our league
doesn’t happen very often,
so that would be special, too.
“Our guys have done a
great job preparing each and
every week so far this year.
Our schedule has prepared
us. I think we’ve played five
or six teams that only had
one loss. We’ve played some
great teams, and Bolingbrook
is no exception. It’s
going to be a heck of a battle,
and it’s always a tough
place to play.”

East’s Kevin Bullington competes at state
RANDY WHALEN
Freelance Reporter
Kevin Bullington finally
got to go to state.
The Lincoln-Way East senior
shot a 162 to tie for 75th
place with five other golfers
Saturday, Oct. 14, at the
Class 3A state tournament
at the Den at Fox Creek in
Bloomington.
Previously, he shot a 76
to advance at the Class 3A
Homewood-Flossmoor Sectional
on Monday, Oct. 9 at
Balmoral Woods Golf Course
in Crete.
“It was tough, hard,” Bullington
said of his round after
the sectional. “But I putted
pretty well, I chipped well. I
had a few good wedge shots,
so a 76 feels pretty good.”
So does finally getting to
state after seeing his older
brother - Brian play there numerous
times.
“This is a 1-up thing I have
on him,” Bullington said of
his sibling rivalry, grinning.
“He didn’t make it to state his
senior year, and now I have.
I just [wanted] to go to state
and shoot two good scores
and play well.”
Brian Bullington went to
state his first three seasons at
as a golfer at East, There he
tied for fifth as a sophomore
in 2008 and tied for 17th
overall as a junior in 2009,
but fell short of going his senior
year.
Freshman Matt Kelley (84)
and junior Scott Schipiour
(89) also golfed in the sectional
for the Griffins.
Sandburg sophomore Max
Farley was the individual
champion and Lincoln-Way
Central won the team title at
the event.
“I had two goals coming
into the season - to win conference
and finish top 10 in
the state,” Farley said. “I won
the conference, and now I’ve
got my shot at state.”
The Class 3A state finals
were held on Friday, Oct.
13 and Saturday, Oct. 14 at
the Den at Fox Creek Golf
Course in Bloomington.
Farley, a sophomore who
placed 32nd in the Class 3A
state meet last fall, shot an
even-par 72 to win the individual
honors. He hoped to
become the fourth-ever Eagle
boys player to medal at state
last weekend and first since
Tom Thanasouras in 2012.
“I admit I was pretty nervous
coming into [Monday],”
Farley said. “I wanted to get a
good number and advance to
state, but I ended up winning
it. [To win it] is really nice.
Going to state freshman year
I put a little too much pressure
on myself. But that ended
up being a positive for me
because I stayed focused [at
the sectional].
“I’ve grown six inches
since freshman year and now
I hit the ball a lot father. It’s
nice to have that extra distance.”
Farley finished two strokes
ahead of Lincoln-Way Central
senior E.J. Charles, Pekin
senior Mason Ghidina, H-F
junior Perry Hoag, and Edwardsville
senior Ben Tyrrell
- who all shot 74 and finished
in a four-way tie for second.
“He’s the real deal,” Sandburg
coach Jeff Kwilose said
of Farley. “He [had] as good
a crack at it [state title] as
anyone. He averages 36 for
nine holes and just has to
keep doing what he’s doing.
“[At the sectional] he finished
up by hitting a tee-shot
in the rough on 15 and then
making an All-World par.
Then, when most people
had boggied 16, he birded it.
Then he made par on the last
two holes to win it by two.”
Junior Matt James (84) and
freshman Mitchell Mazzei
(89) were also at the sectional
for Sandburg, but fell short.
For the Knights, who shot
a 309 team score, it’s their
first sectional title since 1984
and first time going to state
as a team since 1997. In both
of those years, Lincoln-Way
was a single-school district.
“We’ve tried to keep the
expectations as low as possible
because as soon as you
get ahead of yourselves in
golf, you’re in trouble,” Central
coach Ryan Pohlmann
said. “We told the guys that
if we can just be what we are,
we’ll be fine, and that’s what
we did.”
With the 74 Charles led
the balanced Central scoring.
Freshman Sean Curran
(75), senior Ryan Nolan (80),
junior Brian Sterling (80), senior
Dylan Gordon (84), and
junior Jon Soldan (92) rounded
out the Knights scoring.
“We have a solid sore of
seniors,” Charles said. “And
then we have a guy like Sean
[Curran], who pulls off shots
that shouldn’t be allowed. It’s
really cool to go downstate as
a team and [will] be a great
experience.”
The key to Charles’ day
was an eagle on the 300-yard
par-four, 14th hole.
“Things were just going
my way,” Charles said.
“I made a few big putts. I
chipped in for eagle on a par-
4 on 14, so that was great.
I’ve been working a lot of
my short game and I’ve been
confident the whole week.
“Things were just going
my way,” Charles said.
“I made a few big putts. I
chipped in for eagle on a
short par-4 on 14, so that was
great. I’ve been working a lot
of my short game and I [was]
confident the whole week.”
So was Curran, who is the
younger brother of last years
Class 2A individual girls state
champion - Grace Curran.
“I’m happy with the way I
played and I’m excited about
the team,” he said. “We were
able to do something that
Lincoln-Way Central hasn’t
done in a long time and that
means a lot. I just go out with
a positive mind set. I started
well and ground it out.”
The entire Knights team
did and the result was not
only the team advancing to
state, but winning the sectional.
“We’ve said it all year, that
our average was 300 to 310,
and we shot 309,” Pohlmann
said. “It was a little nervewracking
because there’s
some really good golfers, but
such a demanding course.
When E.J. and Sean came in
with 74 and 75, and Nolan
bounced back with 80 after
taking an 8 on his fifth hole,
and Sterling’s 80, I knew we
were in good position.
“I had Mike Corey [who
coached the Central golf team
to downstate appearances in
1995 and 1997] come back
and talk to the guys [the week
before the sectional]. His
teams had some great runs.”
Now this Knight team has
one too. Pekin (311) and Edwardsville
(312) were a close
second and third and also
advanced to state as a team.
Providence (320) placed
fourth followed by Quincy
(322), host H-F (332), Normal
(334), and Lockport
Township (335) was eighth.
O’Fallon (345), Normal
West (346), Marist (348), and
Crete-Monee (374) rounded
out the 12 team field.
Defending sectional champion
Providence saw its postseason
streak end at three
straight trips. Tyler Roat, who
won the Lincoln-Way Central
Regional the previous week
with a 6-under par 66, did advance
to state as an individual
with a 76. Teammate Ethan
Judge, however, shot a 79 and
was eliminated in a four-man
playoff for the last spot. That
was won by Quincy senior
Jimmie Patterson.
“No, not at all,” Roat said
when asked if he was happy
with his score. “I just couldn’t
get putts to fall. I thought I was
playing really good, hit 15
greens. The course couldn’t
be better, and I couldn’t get
the score I wanted. The putting
wasn’t there.
Roat got to go to state each
season at Providence. He was
the only returner from last
season’s squad.
“It’s been really cool being
the leader,” Roat said of
this season. “It’s really cool
to experience all this and go
to state again [as a senior]. I
just wish the team was going
with me.”
In addition to Roat (76)
and Judge (79), the rest of
the Celtics scores were junior
Joey Utz (81), followed by
seniors Andy Holm (84), Ben
Zawicki (84), and Nick Lappin
(85).
“We had a good run,” said
Providence coach John Platt,
who took his teams to state
six times in eight seasons
between 2009-16. “Tyler has
been really good helping lead
the other guys. Ethan has
been our No. 6 guy, and I told
him just golf a 79, 80, 81 and
he’s done that. In the next two
to three years we will build
back up with young kids.”
Lockport won the Lincoln-
Way Central Regional the
previous week. But the young
Porters couldn’t duplicate that
305 score at the sectional. Still
freshman Ben Sluzas, who
has been the Porters leading
golfer most of the season, advanced
to state with a 78.
“I was playing well until
13,” Sluzas said. “But I boogied
13 and it started a four
straight boogie hole stretch.
So that was a struggle. It was a
struggle for everyone [on the
team]. I’m glad to go to state.
I’ll know how it works and
will be excited for next year.”
In addition to Sluzas the
rest of the Porter scores were
junior Eric Gasienca (85), junior
Nolan Weis (85), freshman
V.J. Greci (87), junior
John Weis (89), and junior
Brandon Burdick (96).
“We had an off day on
a tough course,” Lockport
coach Matt Eber said. “We
got in some bad spots. The
kids worked hard, we just
had some bad breaks.
“We had no seniors on the
sectional group, so we’re encouraged.
We’re young and
got all our guys back [from
the sectional] next year and
we’re excited about that.
We’re disappointed [as a
team this season], but it’s
nice to get Ben out. He’ll
see what it’s like at state and
want to get back.”
After qualifying for the sectional
the past three seasons,
Andrew senior Mohan Raval
also advanced to state for the
first time as he was one of a
trio of players that shot a 76.
“I was only one over
through 15 and had played
really solid,” Raval said. “I
had an earlier birdie that was
almost an eagle as I putted
in from four inches. The last
few holes I was grinding out.
I just didn’t want to get in
trouble [and miss the cut].
“This [going to state] was
a goal of mine. It feels really
good to go. After [coming up
short] last season. I said to
myself ‘I can go out there and
play with those guys.’”
The previous Andrew
golfer to qualify for state was
Paul Townsend in 2008.
“He’s the seventh player
in school history to advance
to state and the first since
2008,” Andrew coach Wally
Zukowski said of Raval.
“He’s the first guy I’ve had
go in my [8 years] here. It’s
a testament to how great of
a kid he is. I’ve seen how he
works on his game and [at
sectional] to have a five and a
half hour round and mentally
keep it together. I couldn’t be
prouder of him.”
Also qualifying for state
out of the sectional was Hoag
(74) from H-F, Crete-Monee
senior Levi Hanegraaf (77),
Quincy senior T.J. Wensing
(77), Marist sophomore
George Paetow (78), and Patterson
(79) from Quincy.

Girls golf
Griffins girls golf narrowly
misses cutoff for state
Randy Whalen
Freelance Reporter
For Lincoln-Way East senior
Hannah Hill, there was a
lot of heartbreak.
The senior made it to state
last season by one stroke.
This year she missed the state
cut by two strokes, finishing
with an 86 at the Class
2A Waubonsie Valley Sectional
on Tuesday, Oct. 10,
at Springbrook Golf Course
in Naperville. It was one bad
hole that ruined her chances.
“I was 3-over through 13,”
said Hill, who had a 37 on
the front nine. “Then I took a
nine on the [par-4] 14th hole.
I plugged a 7-iron on the lip
of the bunker. From there
it took three chips and two
putts. It was a rough one. I
don’t know if I’ve ever taken
a nine. If I had it was freshman
year [at Lincoln-Way
North].
“It’s hard to recover from a
nine. The thing was the front
nine was some of the best
golf that I’ve ever played.
Then on the back nine I got a
birdie on the [13th hole]. But
then came the bad hole and it
didn’t work out.”
The rest of the Griffins
scores were junior Samantha
Bollman (96), sophomore
Jessica Loera (97), sophomore
Grace Wilk (102),
senior Kerigan McAllister
(103), and junior Olivia Hoey
(124).
“She just had poor luck,”
East coach Mary McGivern
said of Hill. “She plugged the
approach shot. She started
off strong, is a great girl and
had an amazing career. It’s
just unfortunate. We had six
seniors total and return six
players next year.”
Lincoln-Way Central’s
Brianne Bolden finished second
in a four-way playoff for
the top medalist honors, leading
the way with a 2-overpar
74 as the Knights shot a
323 as a team and won the
sectional. Naperville North
(326) and Hinsdale Central
(329) were right behind and
also advanced to the state
finals, which were held on
Friday, Oct. 13, and Saturday,
Oct. 14, at Hickory Point
Golf Course in Decatur.
“When my coach and other
players started to tell me that
my teammates were playing
well, that’s great motivation,”
Bolden said. “I was
able to control my nerves,
and I’ve worked really hard
at doing that. I got into a good
rhythm [at the sectional] and
I stuck with it. I knew we had
momentum and I just had to
keep the ball rolling.”
She did, up through the
playoff hole, which took
place as the steady rain that
permeated the area the rest of
the evening started falling.
“Two girls [Naperville
North junior Mara Flaherty
and senior Lauren Nay] got a
double bogey, I took a bogey
and [Hinsdale Central senior
Roshannah Gaur] got par to
win it,” Bolden said matter
of factly of the playoff. “But,
it’s been a goal of ours to get
to state as a team, so to reach
that goal is the best feeling in
the world. I’m so excited.”
According to the Illinois
High School Association
website, the Knights did
qualify for state golf in backto-back
years in 1975 and
1976 and also won a district
title in 1981, but this was the
first sectional championship
for a program that had struggled
for some time at the end
of the last decade and still
had a losing dual meet record
(5-9) in 2012.
Having two of the top golfers
in the state in Bolden
along with fellow junior and
defending Class 2A individual
state champion Grace
Curran (76 at the sectional)
come in and make an immediate
impact as a freshman
certainly helped.
“These two ladies are just
great leaders and have caused
the others to catch the golf
fire, to keep working hard,
keep improving,” Central
coach Brian Shannon said of
Bolden and Curran. “They
push it in practice and push
each other. I’m just very
proud of them and very proud
of our program.”
Senior Taylor Miron (83)
along with sophomore Maddie
Pyle (90) rounded out
the Central carded sectional
scores. Sophomore Carly
Schiene (93) and freshman
Caitlyn Parrish (106) rounded
out the Knight scores.
“It’s an amazing feeling,”
Curran said of winning the
sectional. “We’re best of
friends and excited to see
what we can do at state now.
It’s nice to know we have
other people we can rely on
and they can rely on us. We
definitely have each other’s
backs.”
Curran was also excited
that her family would all
be down in Central Illinois
last weekend. Her freshman
brother Sean also helped the
Knights boys golf team to a
Class 3A sectional championship
the day before.
“We were so proud of the
boys and now it’s just amazing
to have Lincoln-Way
Central have two sectional
champion teams,” Curran
said. “My dad [Bob - who is
head boys basketball coach at
Central] is a big reason that
I’m here.”

RANDY WHALEN
Freelance Reporter
Lincoln-Way East girls
tennis coach Wes Cooley said
it best.
"We wanted it on our own
racquet," he said.
That's what the Griffins
got and they came through as
Makenzie Helsel and Cassie
Weyker won their doubles
match to not only win the
sectional for themselves in
doubles, but also to give East
the sectional championship as
a team. The Griffins finished
with 25 points to edge Lincoln-Way
Central (22 points)
and Homewood-Flossmoor
(21 points) on Saturday, Oct.
14 to capture the title of the
Class 2A Andrew Sectional.
It was the second straight,
ninth in 12 years and 12th
sectional championship overall
for the Griffins since East
became its own school in
2001. Providence (14) placed
fourth, followed by Lincoln-
Way West (10), Andrew (9),
Thornton Fractional South
(6), Thornwood (2), Bremen
(0) and Crete-Monee
(0) rounded out the 10-team
field, which opened sectional
play on Friday, Oct. 13.
Because of rain, the final
day's play was moved indoors
to the Homewood-Flossmoor
Racquet and Fitness Club.
And heading into the final
matches there was plenty of
drama. But Helsel and Weyker
took care of it from East's
standpoint by rallying for the
0-6 6-4 6-4 victory over fellow
seniors Elyse Mansfield
and Lauren Parker from H-F.
If Mansfield and Parker had
won, that would have been
a four-point swing to the Vikings,
who would have edged
East on a criteria even though
both teams would have had
23 points.
"If we didn't win the doubles
match we would have
had to wait to see the outcome
of the third place singles
match," said Cooley of
the match that was eventually
won by H-F. "But we didn't
want that, we wanted it on
our own racquet.
"For Makenzie and Cassie
to come back and win it after
their slow start was great.
It was some amazing tennis.
After they lost the first set
they showed a bunch of resilience.
They got a chance to
reset and one of our assistant
coaches, Jon White, helped
loosen them up there."
Weyker agreed.
"Coach White dancing and
talking just loosened us up,"
she said. "Then on the court
we tried not to think about it
[losing first set 0-6]. We just
tried to play point-by-point.
[Helsel] and I are successful
because we're opposite
persons at times. We feed off
each other."
The duo are returning state
qualifiers from last season.
Helsel, who started her career
at Lincoln-Way North
before moving to East as a junior
when North closed, was
happy to end her high school

Park. James Sanchez/22nd Century Media
career as a sectional champion.
The two were fourth at
the sectional last season, but
won two matches at state and
advanced to the second day.
"We just had a rough start
and then we got mad about
it," she said of rallying for
the win. "[In the final 2 sets]
We'd run to the net and try to
beat H-F at its own game."
It was nearly an all-East
final in doubles. The Griffin
pair of seniors Erin Klein and
Claire Stec lost to Mansfield
and Parker 7-6, (9-7), 6-3
in the semifinals. But Klein
and Stec bounced back to
defeat the Central duo of senior
Meghan Maynard and
sophomore Natalie Singh 6-4
6-1 in the third place match.
Klein went to state last year
as a singles player and it's the
first trip for Stec.
On the singles side Providence
senior and Mokena
resident Sophie Davis won
the sectional title with a 6-4,
6-3 victory over Lincoln-
Way Central sophomore
Emma Rimkunas. A year
ago, in Class 1A, Davis
lost to then-freshman Ashley
Meeky from Southland
College Prep, in the Marian
Catholic Sectional singles
Championship match. .
"It's overwhelming, because
I didn't think could get
to point," Davis said of winning
the sectional. "I lost in
the sectional last year and
that motivated me. I was
excited to play [Rimkunas].
I played her three times and
won all three, but [the sectional]
was tough because
she was playing her best. My
serve and my forehand were
working well.
"Last year I lost both
matches at state, but now I'm
going in more confident. I
want to win two matches [at
state]."
Providence coach Andrew
Richardson believes Davis
can do that.
"She does all the work and
knows what she's doing," he
said of Davis. "I talked to her
twice [in the sectional]. I told
her to just trust her talent and
do what she can do. I thought
she was the most talented
player [at the sectional]. She
makes my job easier."
Although she lost to Davis,
Rimkunas is happy to
be moving on to state for the
second season.
"I'm really excited to go
again," Rimkunas said. "[Davis]
is really strong on ground
strokes and has a solid serve,
which makes her tough."
Rimkunas and fellow
sophomore singles teammate
Kiana Sikich are glad to not
only be going to state but also
to have helped the Knights
to their first conference title
since the SouthWest Suburban
Conference formed in
2005. They captured the Red
Division championship this
fall.
"We just all worked hard
in the offseason," Rimkunas
said. "We have a great team
bond with each other."
Sikich lost in the third
place match 7-6 0-6 6-1 to
unseeded H-F freshman
Lauren Legardy, In the earlier
rounds, Legardy upset
Andrew sophomore Lily
Darmen (6-2, 6-2) and East
senior Rachel Schilke (6-0,
6-0) to advance to the semifinals.
Still, Sikich is glad to
advance to state for the first
time and is excited for the
Knights' success this season.

well, I chipped well. I had a few good
wedge shots, so a 76 feels pretty good.”
