Murder occurred early Friday morning in the 6700 block of Lake Shore Drive By bugle staff sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

By Daniel Smrokowski For The Bugle Approximately a thousand people came out to the third annual Holy Trinity Catholic Church Oktoberfest last weekend. The Holy Trinity Catholic School Parent School Organization and Holy Trinity Church sponsored the Oktoberfest event, which took place Sept. 19 and Sept. 20 at 111 S. Cass Ave. in Westmont. Some fathers at Holy Trinity School started the event because they wanted to have an October festival. “We started out as a fundraiser for the Holy Trinity Parent School Organization,” said Keith Sellers, chairman of the Holy Trinity Parish Council and head of the Oktoberfest event. State Sen. Chris Nybo, State Rep. Patti Bellock and Westmont Village Board members Steve Nero, Sue Senicka and Bruce Barker attended Oktoberfest’s launch on Sept. 19.

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @buglenewspapers

Assistant Director of Public Works for Operations Stan Balicki presented a bid to purchase up to 6,048 tons of

road salt at $58.12 per ton, for a total of $351,509 from Cargill for the winter of 2014-15. This contract was coordinated with the state of Illinois. Commissioner Geoff Neustadt said the price of $58.12 is good deal, considering other municipalities are seeing $100 plus per ton. In July, the council approved a contract to purchase bulk rock salt at $70.44 per ton from Morton Salt through a bid process coordinated by DuPage County, Balicki said.At that time, the village agreed to purchase a

This will serve as a secondary source for snow and ice control operations, Balicki said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have one large salt dome that should house all the salt we need to get through a typical winter, and even an extreme winter,â&#x20AC;? said Village Manager David Fieldman. In addition, as part of the Motor Fuel Tax program through the state of Illinois, the village was given an unbudgeted $200,000, said Balicki. His recommendation was to allocate these funds toward the purchase of rock salt for the impending winter months. The village has positioned itself to be independent and ready for the winter season,

Fieldman said. The council will vote on the bid to purchase salt and allocate the MFT funds at the Oct. 7 meeting.

Grove Commuter Shuttle As part of the consent agenda, the village unanimously voted to terminate the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obligation to manage the Grove Commuter Shuttle. The village will no longer incur expenses related to the operation of the bus service, according to the motion.

Village earns Storm Ready designation from NWS Recognizes villages better prepared to deal with severe weather through advanced planning, education and awareness

National Weather Service Lead Forecaster Mike Bardou said the village of Lisle has met all requirements to become a Storm Ready Community, according to a village press release. The announcement came during the Lisle Village Board meeting on Sept. 22. Storm Ready communities are better prepared to deal with severe weather through advanced planning, education and awareness, the village said. While no community is storm proof, becoming a Storm Ready community can help save lives.

Lisle is now one of only 66 Illinois communities that meet Storm Ready requirements which includes having multiple methods of receiving and disseminating National Weather Service watches and warnings, facilitating public education programs, conducting annual severe weather exercises, monitoring local weather conditions, and deploying weather radios in all public buildings. The village has implemented a variety of measures to expand communications and help the community prepare for severe

weather or other disasters. Activities include releasing information on multiple communication channels, increasing the number of people who have registered for CodeRED emergency alerts, training staff on emergency response, educating the public on a variety of emergency related topics, and expanding resources through the creation of the new Volunteers 4 Lisle program. Lisle Mayor Joe Broda commended Police Chief Dave Anderson, Commander Randy Johnson, Sergeant Dennis Canik, Stormwater Administrator Marilyn Sucoe and Village staff for their efforts in dealing with the April 2013 flood, as well as learning from the experience to better prepare for any future

emergencies. Those preparations resulted in the Storm Ready designation. Lisle said it will receive Storm Ready reflective roads signs and authorization to add the Storm Ready logo to the village website and stationary.

Financial reporting award During the meeting, Broda also announced that the village was awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association of United States and Canada. The award recognizes the village’s 2013 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, which

met standards established for financial reporting by GFOA. Receiving recognition for the Village’s efforts to fully disclose financial information helps meet the public’s need for transparency in government. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accountingandfinancialreporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. This is the eleventh year that the village of Lisle has received this award. Broda thanked Finance Director Kim Schiller and her staff for a job well done, citing the time and effort that goes into preparing the level of detail needed to satisfy the program’s strict requirements.

Use your head on spotting signs of Ovarian Cancer by niCk reiher managing eDitor

nreiher@buglenewspapers.com @JolietiLNews

About seven years ago, we did a family campout up in Minnesota after my daughter Jillian’s high school graduation party. All Tammy’s brothers and sisters and their families were there as we camped in a new spot, at least for me, Madison Lake. This place, according to Tammy, was upscale for camping. That is, there were indoor showers. I still preferred Ely, but, hey. At least at night, there still was the campfire and s’mores. As I sat there one night, the little dustmop dog belonging to my brother-in-law’s fiancé sat on my lap, practically purring. Not just that night; every night we were there. Now, every time I have seen that dog since, it has growled and snapped at me, and treated my lap as if it were a gas chamber. The only difference between then and now is, now I don’t have a six-inch infection in my colon that could burst at any time. I knew I was having a bad bout of diverticulitis, but I didn’t know how bad. But the dog seemed to. Dogs, as many know, can sense things the rest of us might not: drugs, bombs, diabetes, epileptic attacks and now, ovarian cancer.

More Info

So, here are the warning signs. Women, and men, write these down: Bloating Difﬁcult menstrual cycles headaches unusual weight gain Sleepless nights Sense of urgency or higher frequency to urinate Abdominal pain Difﬁculty eating or feeling full quickly Fatigue Indigestion Back pain Pain with intercourse Constipation

I heard a presentation on this recently when I had the honor of appearing on WJOL’s “Lynne, Mary and Natalie Show.” My friend Lynne Lichtenauer had invited me specifically to hear a presentation by Vallie Szymanski, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Ovarian Cancer Symptom Awareness. This was an emotional topic for Lynne. She said on the radio this was the first time she had disclosed she is a survivor of ovarian cancer she had some 35 years ago. She knows she was amazingly lucky because ovarian cancer has a survival rate of an astonishingly low 40-plus percent. One of the reasons ovarian

cancer claims more than half of its victims, Szymanski told us, is because the warning signs are not always that obvious. By the time they get worse, it often is too late. As you can see, many of these are can be symptoms of other illnesses.The key, Szymanski said, is if one or more of these persists for a couple weeks. If they do, see your doctor immediately. Men, get the woman in your life to go. A blood test and ultrasound can help with the diagnosis. And an early one is crucial. Now, Szymanski said, scientists are working with another early detection system. His name is Olin, a Chocolate Labrador Retriever that is being trained to identify odorants associated with ovarian cancer cells. Dogs can do this, she added, because dogs can have between 125300 million scent receptors, depending upon the breed, while we humans have some 5 million. Believe me, I thank God every time that little dustmop dog snarls at me these days. But until they can get Olin and a bunch of other dogs trained to use their noses to help detect ovarian cancer, we’ll have to use our brains. Cut out that list above, and if you or the woman you love is suffering with these symptoms, get to a doctor … now. Please don’t wait. I want you reading for a long time.

Croft of Downers Grove is looking for a way to give back to the community, while her friend, Michelle Potter of Downers Grove,has already been a member

for a year. “I moved to Downers Grove four years ago, wanted to meet new people and give back to the community,” Potter said. The club has supported community organizations such as SEASPAR, FISH, Hope’s Front Door and DuPage PADS, Austin noted. DGJWC also coordinates Safety Town in cooperation with the Downers Grove Park District and Police Department, she said. This annual program instructs five- and six-year-old children about home, fire, traffic and bicycle safety. This year, the organization will be helping girls navigate adolescence and how to face the challenges and negative issues facing young women. Austin said the club hosts two major fundraisers each year – a golf outing and a craft show. Half the proceeds are allocated toward scholarships, and the other half benefits community organizations throughout Downers Grove. Throughout the year, in addition to fundraisers, the group also serves as a social outlet and includes book clubs, yoga class and other activities, said Social Committee Co-Chair Connie Pundmann.

Benet powers past ESCC foe JCA By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

When you have been to the state title match three years in a row and claimed the Class 4A crown two of the last three seasons, you know that every time you step on the floor, you expect to get the best your competition has to offer. Benet got last week in a match with Joliet Catholic Academy, although the 2517, 25-19 score doesn’t quite reflect how close the East Suburban Catholic conference battle was. “Joliet Catholic is a great program and they dug a lot of balls that a lot of teams don’t get up that extended rallies and we got a lot of extra swings tonight that we don’t usually get,” Benet coach Brad Baker said. “We were able to win those long rallies and keep momentum and win the match.” “We expect everyone’s best game, I think we were really ready to play,” said Benet libero Natalie Canuli, a Penn State commit. “We practice hard so we are ready to play in these games. We want to focus just on what is on the court and no distractions and I think we did that. JCA is a great team and they were able to keep us going and I thought we finished really well.” Benet was without the services of junior outside hitter Tiffany Clark, who was injured over the weekend. Baker said they were not sure when she was hurt, as she played through the injury, and although she was having an MRI Wednesday, he expected a speedy return. In fact, Clark

was dressed and warmed up prior to the match. “If we had lost a game, would she have played? I don’t know,” Baker said. “But we have no excuses. Whoever is on the court has to get the job done. We have confidence in everyone who is on the team and if we didn’t, they wouldn’t be on the team.” Rachael Fara paced Benet with eight kills, while Veronica Snelling tallied seven and Dana Grifin added five. Sara Nielsen orchestrated the offense to the tune of 25 assists, while Canuli added 24 digs. “Natalie was really good for us, especially in the second game,” Baker said. “She really figured out where JCA was hitting the ball and she was able to dig some balls and really give us opportunities.” JCA was paced by Mary Murphy, who posted seven kills and five assists, while Megan Melone also tallied six assists. While the Rewings moved to 15-0 on the season and 3-0 in the ESCC, Baker said he still sees room for improvement for the team. “We are getting there,” Baker said. “I feel there are still some times that we are taking plays off and there are still ways for us to get better. We have to work to get better. Either you get better or you get worse, so we always strive to get better.” Canuli knows the effort the team has put in since the season started. “I think we have improved a lot since the beginning of the season,” she said. “We have trained hard so that we are the best team on the court when we get out there.”

Trojans snap TD drought, fall to LT By mike sandrolini For the bugle

mike@buglenewspapers.com @voyagersport

The Trojans accomplished something at Lyons Township Saturday that had eluded them since their Week 1 win over Lockport: reaching the end zone. David Edwards’ 1-yard quarterback sneak with 3:02 left before halftime not only gave Downers North its first touchdown since that opening contest, it also forced a 7-7 tie—a score that would stand at halftime. However, the second half— particularly the third quarter— was all LT behind senior workhorse tailback Leonard Ross. Ross racked up 219 yards on 35 carries, including rushing 16 times for 93 during the third period alone, as the Lions shook off the Trojans, 217. It’s the fourth straight loss for DGN (1-4, 0-1), which has qualified for the postseason each of the past two years, but needs to win out in order to make the playoffs this fall. Ross, who scored LT’s go-

ahead touchdown at 4:32 of the third and added a 2-yard run later in the period, would have totaled even more yards had his 66-yard TD run in the first quarter not been called back due to a Lions’ holding penalty. Downers North head coach John Wander gave Ross props, but wondered if the Trojans could have done a better job tackling him. “He’s a nice running back, I give him that,” Wander said. “I thought our tackling was quite poor, but until I see film I’m really not sure.” LT defensive back Brendan Swinehart got the Lions (3-2, 1-0) on the scoreboard first when he intercepted a pass and ran 36 yards for a touchdown on the Trojans’ open drive of the game. Following a missed 27-yard field goal attempt by LT early in the second quarter, the Trojans put together an 80-yard scoring drive that ran 8:07 off the clock, leading to Edwards’ TD. Passes of 10 and 12 yards to sophomore wideout Zack Figura (seven catches, 104 yards) and a 17-yard run by Connor Olson were key plays during the drive. “We were mixing things up well, and finding what we could,” Wander said. “In the second half, we threw too much and we got down. We wanted to give our kids a shot to win it, but we couldn’t mix it up like we wanted to.” As much as the Trojans dominated the second quarter,

Mike Sandrolini/Bugle Staff

Edwin Phillips had two tackles for loss as Downers North fell to Lyons 21-7 Saturday.

LT was just as dominant during the third quarter. DGN went three-and-out on its

two offensive series while LT controlled the tempo offensively. “They came right out (in the second half) and put that seven on the board,” Wander said. “We got the ball back and went 3-and-out and our defense was tired.” Yet the Trojans’ defense came up with some notable plays. Junior Spencer Carr, in his first start of the year at defensive back, intercepted passes in both the second and fourth quarters, and senior lineman Edwin Phillips chalked up two tackles-for-loss. “He’s a good football player,” Wander said of Carr. “Later on I saw some nice hits from Edwin.” Carr missed the first two games of the year with back

problems. “This is the first week I’ve been healthy enough to play corner,” Carr said.“The first one (interception), the quarterback just lofted it and that was an easy pick. The second one, I was beat deep (on the second interception) so I just started running to try and catch up and just made a good play on the ball.” Kendrick Schulz and Dallton Baran also combined for a tackle-for-loss, while Edwards finished 15 of 36 for 145 yards. “Even when we were throwing the ball, we were dropping balls and we were not finishing,” Wander said. “For us to be good, we have to finish everything that we have an opportunity to finish.”

roundup

Mustang tennis positioned for WSC Gold title South moves into first place in boys golf Downers South tennis heads into the meat of the season and is looking for big things behind a trio of experienced state qualifiers. Tiffany Bui and Janine Urgello return at No. 1 doubles after qualifying for state last year. The duo placed fourth at the Downers South Sectional and picked up a win at the state meet. Christine Pavlov was a state qualifier two years ago and is looking to get back to the state level. They will be joined by sophomore Niki Buie and freshmen Addy Davenport and Anna Buie After a pair of wins last week over Proviso East and Leyden, they are in position for another WSC Gold title. “We would like to win the WSC

Gold for the fourth straight year and compete for a sectional title,” South coach Peter Freischlag said. “The girls will have to be precise, goal oriented and resilient. “Hinsdale South will be our biggest road block. I am sure they are improved from last year.” Freischlag likes what he sees from the Mustangs this year. “This group of girls may be the hardest working I have put on the courts,” he said. The Mustangs won the Charger Invite over the weekend. •Benet lost Leah Tzakis, who went 3-2 at state last year as a senior, but the No. 1 singles slot has remained in good hands as Coco Tzakis took the reigns. Coco advanced to the state meet last year, going 1-2.

GOLF Downers South grabbed sole possession of first place with a win over Addison Trail. Trent Caraher and Jon Krupa each shot

38, Joe Vath had a 40 and Sean Burk added a 41. The Mustangs beat Leyden as Vath tallied a 36. Peter Hamot shot 38, while Krupa and Patrick Reeg each shot 41.

SOCCER Eric Diaz scored the lone goal as Downers South beat Hinsdale South 1-0. Diaz tallied another goal in a 1-1 tie with Fenton. •Benet (9-2, 4-0) defeated Marian Catholic 3-0. Kyle Kenagy scored twice, while David Diltz scored the other. Ryley Guay and Daniel Morefield picked up assists. The Redwings defeated Notre Dame 6-1. Kenagy and Richie Michalik each scored twice, while Morefield and Ben Kelly had the others. Diltz (2), Morefield, Eddie Fulton, Patrick Cleary and Ryley Guay had assists.

FOOTBALL Marist entered last Friday’s

matchup against Benet 1-3 overall, having lost three straight and two in a row in conference play. So, what did the RedHawks do? Pull off the upset of the ESCC season so far, handing the Redwings their first defeat of the season, 21-7. Benet (4-1, 2-1) found itself behind the eight ball right from the start after Marist scored on its opening drive of the game for a 7-0 lead. The RedHawks made it 14-0 with a TD on a pass play, but the Redwings pulled to within 14-7 with 3:40 to go in the first half after Brad Sznajder fell on a Benet fumble in the Marist end zone. Sznajder had rushed for 86 yards on four carries during the TD drive. Benet was on the march early in the fourth quarter, but Marist picked off a pass in the end zone to thwart the drive. Marist scored an insurance touchdown with 1:16 remaining in the game. Sznajder, who has 821 rushing

yards so far this season, finished with 136 yards on 15 carries,while Karl Schmidt had four catches for 48 yards. Jack Sznajder went 12 for 26 passing for 136 yards.

GIRLS SWIMMING Downers North swam to a 9393 tie with York in a WSS dual meet held on Sept. 25. The Trojans had three swimmers win multiple events. Emily Albrecht won both the 50-yard freestyle and the 100 backstroke, while Lindsay Mathys took the 100 and 200 freestyle, and Gabriele Serniute won the 200 individual medley and the 100 breaststroke. Emily Augment also won the 1-meter diving event. DGN also got victories in the 200 medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay. The 200 medley team features Serniute, Albrecht, Cassandra Candel and Ellie Benge, and the 400 freestyle relay has Albrecht, Benge, Candel and Mathys.

GAME 6:

Lisle @ reed Custer The details: Lisle (1-4, 0-3) has suffered four straight losses after a 46-0 loss to Seneca. Reed-Custer is 0-5 after a 35-7 loss to Herscher. The Lions have allowed at least 20 points in each game, including 108 in the last two games and 142 in their past three. The offense has put up 75 points in two games, but just 17 in the other three. The Comets havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been totally blown out in any game, but have had just

one single-digit loss, which was a 14-12 defeat at home against Seneca. They have managed just 45 points scored through the first five games this year. Keys to the game: Something will have to give between the Lisle defense and Reed-Custer offense as both have had their struggles this year. The team that can improve the most in that matchup will have a big edge. Lisle will also

game time 7:15 p.m. Friday be looking for consistency on offense after and up-and-down start to the season. -compiled by Scott Taylor

GAME 6:

Westmont @ seneca The details: Westmont (2-3, 1-2) is coming off a 54-20 loss to I-8 powerhouse Wilmington. Seneca (4-1, 2-1) beat Lisle 46-0 a week after a very surprising 47-7 loss to Herscher. The Sentinels have scored at least 20 points in every game this year, so they are expected to have another successful offensive game. However, the defense has allowed at least 34 points in every game and 231 for the year,

which is more than 45 points per game. The Fighting Irish have put up more than 14 points just twice on the season, but havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed more than 12 outside the loss to Herscher. Keys to the game: It is hard to know what to expect in this game. From Westmont, it is known that it will spread the field and put up points. Seneca though has been all over the place. The Sentinels will need to have an improved

game time 7:30 p.m. Friday performance defensively to pull off the win and stay alive for a playoff berth. If they can keep Seneca under 30 points, they will have an opportunity to win. -compiled by Scott Taylor

GAME 6:

DGS @ DGN

The details: Downers South (3-2, 2-1) is coming off a 14-10 win over Leyden after trailing 10-0 in the second half. Downers North had a Saturday game against Lyons, falling 21-7 to move to 1-4. A lowscoring game is expected as the Mustangs have allowed just 17 points total the past two weeks and the Trojans have been struggling offensively. The Downers South offense and Downers North defense have both been inconsistent, with some good weeks and some not so good games.

Connor Olson and Downers North host Downers South Friday night.

Keys to the game: Expect to see a close game here and the winner of the game will likely

game time Friday, 7:30 p.m. win the turnover margin. The other major key to the game will be special teams as both teams appear to be evenly matched. Downers North likes grabbing an early lead so it can pound the ball, while South hopes to achieve more balance. This is a must win game for the Trojans, so expect some extra energy early in the game. -compiled by Scott Taylor

GAME 6:

Nazareth @ Benet The details: Benet (41, 2-1) took its first loss of the year, 21-7 to Marist last week. Nazareth (5-0, 3-0) rolled past Marian Catholic 56-17. The Redwings won their first four games by double figures before the somewhat surprising loss to Marist. It was the fewest points they had scored all year and most points they have allowed. The Roadrunners have been dominant this year, winning every game by at least three touchdowns. They have scored at least 42 points in every game, although the defense has given up some points the past three weeks. Keys to the game: Benet

game time Friday, 7:30 p.m. will have to play its best game of the year to beat Nazareth. On offense, the Redwings will have to maintain drives and keep the potent Roadrunner offense off the field. On defense, Benet needs to make Nazareth move the ball slowly down the field without the big plays. Limiting possessions to get the game to the fourth quarter will be big for the Redwings. -compiled by Scott Taylor

Community meetings set to discuss historic district Maple Avenue Preservation Committee, Pierce Downer’s Heritage Alliance hoping to designate Maple Avenue as historic district By Christine M. Foushi for the bugle

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @buglenewspapers

The effort to turn a section of Maple Avenue in Downers Grove into a Historic District is under way. “More than 60 packets have been handed out,” said resident Tom Nybo, who is part of helping conserve history in the Village. The Maple Avenue Preservation Committee and Pierce Downer’s

meeting about historic district

Heritage Alliance are hoping to designate Maple Avenue between Main Street and Blodgett Avenue a Historic District, said Nybo. He encourages property owners to bring their packets and questions, and learn more about the process at two upcoming meetings.

Property owners along Maple Avenue and anyone else interested in learning more about historical landmarks and districts are welcome to attend meetings from 7 to 9 p.m., Wednesdays, Sept. 30 and Oct. 8 at Lincoln Center, 935 Maple Ave., Nybo said. “If you want to make your house a historical landmark, we’ll be able to answer any questions,” he said. Also attending the meeting will be guest speaker Douglas Gilbert, who has served on Oak Park’s Historic Preservation District, Nybo said. He is familiar with setting up historic districts around the Chicago area. “He knows his ins and outs,” he added. One of the biggest ones he has established included more than 1,000 properties in Oak Park,

Nybo said. As previously reported, the Historic District effort began when the W.H. Edwards home, 942 Maple Ave., and its neighbor, 936 Maple Ave., had been listed for sale as a redevelopment opportunity. Although the sale is not final and no plans have been submitted to the Village, the plan is to demolish these properties to make way for a 56-unit, five-story condo building, said David Sosin, attorney representing the prospective buyers, FFM-DG Development. This request will be the first historic designation application for Downers Grove since the Village’s Historic Preservation Ordinance took effect, Nybo said. Under the ordinance, establishing a Historic District requires a signed Owner Consent

Form from 51 percent of property owners in the proposed district, which is approximately 60 homes, he said. Nybo passed out packets to residents within a four-block radius along Maple Avenue, and, to put things in perspective, explained this would be the amount of people coming to the community if the Edwards house was knocked down and a condominium was to be built. “When I told them how many people are going to be on that property if they build this building, a lot of people got scared and concerned about doubling traffic,” he said. Packets are due Oct. 8, and will be reviewed by the Downers Grove Architectural Board followed by a recommendation to the Village Council.

‘Sleepy Hollow’ Season 2: Tom Mison on ‘Ichabbie,’ Jealousy and the Battle with War Variety sat down with star Tom Mison at the Television Critics Association summer press tour to find out what’s in store for season two By Laura Prudom

Tribune Content Agency

www.variety.com @LauInLA

Fox’s “Sleepy Hollow” returned for season two on Sept. 22, and as the premiere opened, War came to town - in the form of Ichabod Crane’s (Tom Mison) long-lost son, Jeremy (John Noble). Bitter and vengeful after years of parental abandonment and manipulation by the demon Moloch, Jeremy has joined forces with the Headless Horseman to wreak havoc on the town and its inhabitants, which is bad news for everyone in Sleepy Hollow, since its protectors are currently trapped - Ichabod in a pine box six feet underground,and partner Abbie Mills in Purgatory, after freeing Crane’s bewitching wife Katrina (Katia Winter). The first season finale also left Abbie’s sister, Jenny (Lyndie Greenwood), at death’s door after an attack from Headless, and Captain Frank Irving (Orlando Jones) behind bars, leaving the odds stacked rather uncomfortably in favor of the apocalypse. Variety sat down with star Tom Mison at the Television Critics Assn. summer press tour to find out what’s in store for season two, including love triangles, Ichabod’s quest to redeem Jeremy and where we find our characters after last season’s shocking cliffhanger. Laura: The finale left Ichabod in a somewhat sticky situation, having been buried alive by his son - I imagine that situation has to resolve itself fairly quickly, to avoid the whole season taking place with Ichabod in a box? Tom: Not too quickly! I think that it would be a shame to leave all the characters in those predicaments and then just get them out instantly. The really nice thing is, the writers decided to put everyone in the worst possible situations before they worked out

how to get them out. So all of the questions that we, that everyone watching, has about how they get them out, those were the questions that the writers gave themselves. And then I think they just left thinking,“Well, what’s the coolest way of doing it?” And I think they’ve managed to achieve that. Laura: Much has been made of the sexual tension between “Ichabbie.” From your perspective, how does Ichabod see Abbie at this point? How do you approach their relationship in terms of his motivations? Tom: She’s a partner.They need each other. If they had a choice of partners, who knows whether they would choose that person or not? The really nice thing about it is that it’s not such a black and white answer. There are lots of things that they really, really respect about each other and lots of things that just annoy the tits off each other... as with lots of relationships, which is probably why so many people go into the shipping thing with them. I love the moments where they annoy each other, probably more than the moments where they work in a perfect harmony. That’s sexy. So in that respect, it’s a very sexy relationship. But yes, for them, in the front of their mind it’s that they need each other, they’re partners and they respect each other. Laura: And they have to save the world, so they have other priorities. Tom: Exactly. There’s an apocalypse coming. Let’s not get all doe-eyed at each other. Laura: And, as you and the producers have noted before, he’s a happily married man... Tom: Oh, yes. That should’ve

been the first thing I said.[Laughs.] D--n, yes, he’s married. Laura: But he and Katrina haven’t spent much time together over the centuries, what with him being asleep and her in Purgatory. So it’s arguable that he knows Abbie better than he knows Katrina at this point, given that Katrina has been keeping a few secrets from him. Tom: Yes. This is brought up in season two, the deceit. And of course, that’s going to be a problem. But he’s a man of honor and he loves his wife.

as Ichabod loves his wife and respects Abbie as a Partner with a capital P, someone comes in and if he starts distracting her, then that’s going to be a problem, and who knows when jealousy might creep in if someone starts taking her attention away? Laura: So it’s more a case of, “Pay attention to me,Abbie!”? Tom: Exactly. “Look at me. I’ve got long hair and a nice coat!” Laura: The show will also introduce one of Ichabod’s exgirlfriends, Mary, this season. Given the fact that Ichabod’s not from around here, that seems to imply that something supernatural may be afoot in her reappearance? Tom: There may well be. As with every glimpse into Ichabod’s past, it has knock-on effect in the present and she is certainly the case. It also reveals a lot of secrets from certain other characters... Laura: I hear we’ll also see - tom mison, ichabod crane in more of the Headless Horseman fox’s “sleepy Hollow” in his non-headless form as Abraham, Katrina’s former flame. Laura: During your TCA panel, Tom: And I’m really pleased. executive producer Len Wiseman Neil [Jackson] came in to join us said that thanks to“other characters to play Abraham only very briefly that come in around [Ichabod and last season and I loved working Abbie], you see jealousy come out with him. So he comes back into in ways that are more interesting,” it an awful lot more. Again, that’s but that Ichabod and Abbie might another problem: Katrina is with also be reevaluating their feelings the Headless Horseman, but she for each other this season. Can you hasn’t seen him as the Headless expand on that? Horseman, she remembers him Tom: Well, reevaluating their as Abraham, her one-time fiance, feelings I think is a hangover who turned bad purely because from the last season where of his love for her. there’s questions of trust in the Laura: Which is kind of partnership. In terms of the romantic, in a twisted way. love interest, yes, there’s a new Tom: Absolutely romantic. I character, played brilliantly by think it’s desperately romantic of Matt Barr. And yes, he brings a him to do that, to risk everything completely new dynamic. Much for the woman that he loves.So yes,

As with every glimpse into Ichabod’s past, it has knock-on effect in the present and she is certainly the case. It also reveals a lot of secrets from certain other characters..

that does bring an interesting new dynamic to their relationship. And it’s also nice to explore Katrina a lot more because last year, she came in, she gave information and she was the quest for Ichabod, but now, Katia is getting to play around a lot more with more depth to the character and more understanding of who she is and why she’s here. Laura: On a literally related note, Jeremy is back and already causing a lot of trouble as War. How much is his predicament weighing on Ichabod, given that his abandonment - through no fault of his own - contributed to turning his son into this vengeful monster? Tom: There’s a war on.And one of the leaders of the opposition is your son. And that’s a very interesting direction to take with it and the various dilemmas that that brings. And that’s one of the good things about the show, it always comes back down to the characters and the reality of [deciding] what you do when you have to fight against your son. Do you fight against him as an enemy or do you try to appeal to him as a member of your family? And that’s one of the dilemmas that Ichabod finds himself in. I think the writers are very clever with this, to always bring every predicament - whether it’s a battle like that, or [choosing] which creatures appear in each episode down to “what effect do you want on the characters?” And I think that’s what, if I may say, elevates the show above a lot of the other fantasy shows.
