Pinball Wizard Plainfield teen takes first in Junior World Pinball Championships, second in world

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

J

oshua Henderson started high school this week as a freshman, but earlier this month he was a pinball wizard.

He placed first in the Junior World Pinball Championships and second in the world among more than 10,000 registrar pinball players at the Professional and Amateur Pinball Association’s annual event in Pittsburg.

Following this competitive win, Henderson will be ranked one of the top 10 players in the USA and Top 15 players in the world.

Henderson’s interest in pinball began to blossom when he was about three years old.Mark Henderson, Joshua’s dad, would take him to various arcades and family entertainment centers scattered about Illinois. One fateful day they stopped at the Tivoli Bowl, and in the arcade was a “South Park” pinball machine. Though not yet tall enough to reach the flippers, Henderson watched his dad play.

“Instantly, I was hooked,”he said.“The mechanical features really were amazing to watch as they manipulated the ball on the playfield.“ From that experience on, he began to play pinball more often. At just four years old, his scores were getting higher than his dad’s. That’s when he began competing in youth tournaments.

“My first one was

‘Pinball at the Zoo’ in Kalamazoo, Mich.,”Henderson said.“I played in the kids tournament and got third place, but I was excited that I had won something myself.”

When it became clear to Henderson’s parents and others in the tournaments that he was something of a prodigy, he began enrolling in adult tournaments, which were more challenging than the kid’s division. He still plays in that type of tournament against people that are 10 to 20 years older.

That’s not surprising because since the advent of video games, pinball has taken a backseat in

A Tour of History Plainfield Historical Society set for LaSalle tour

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

The Plainfield Historical Society is hosting a tour of historic LaSalle Sept. 8.

The day trip will include stops at the Hegeler Carus Mansion, Saint Patrick Church, the Lock #16 Visitor Center and a mulepulled boat ride on the Illinois & Michigan Canal. Lunch is included at $55 per attendee.

While little is known about the Illinois Valley and the LaSalle area before settler’s arrived, the first recorded journey through the area is that of Louis Jolliet and Father Marquette in the late 1660s. Marquette later returned to found a mission near what is now Starved Rock.

Rene-Robert Cavelier Sieur de LaSalle, for whom the city is named, began is exploration of the area in 1678. After traveling the Mississippi River, he and Henri di Tonty built Fort Saint Louis at Starved Rock. After Illinois declared statehood on

Dec. 3, 1818, it was only a matter of time before settlers began moving into the Illinois Valley.

LaSalle County was established on Jan. 15, 1831.

As the dream of constructing a canal from this area up to Chicago became reality,the need to create towns along its banks grew. Consequently, the town of LaSalle was platted in 1838.

At this time, many purchasers of the lots were canal workers or shop keepers hoping to sell supplies to the workers. The canal was officially opened on April 16, 1848. Four days later, the “General Thornton” became the first boat to travel the canal.

Construction of the I&M Canal led to an increase in population of the LaSalle area.

Between the years of 1843 and 1848, the population had grown from almost 100 to 200 people.

In 1852, the city of LaSalle was officially established, and by 1869, the official boundaries of the city had been set. Over

the years, LaSalle expanded.

Its greatest growth occurred between 1963 and 1989, with 61 annexations. In 1999 the city had 71 annexations, as its boundaries continued north into previously unincorporated area.

Built in 1876, the Hegeler Carus Mansion is a 57-room, 16,000-square-foot building, designed as a family home by renowned architect William M. Boyington, who also designed the Chicago Water Tower and the Joliet State Penitentiary.

Restoration is ongoing and visitors today can experience the grandeur of a bygone era.

A tour of the outer areas of Saint Patrick Church will afford visitors a chance to learn about the unique historical connections the community, the canal diggers and the church.

The tour does not include an interior visit.

Cedarlake Village announces Quilt Show Contest for churches Cedarlake Village today announced plans for a quilt show contest among area churches, including a $1,000 prize for the winning church.

Area churches will be encouraged to submit a quilt owned or made by church members. Entries will be accepted through September 1. The quilt will be displayed September 17 through September 24 at Cedarlake Village Senior

Living Community in Plainfield.

All visitors to the community during the week will be eligible to vote for their choice. The quilt with the most votes will win the $1,000 prize, which will be presented at Cedarlake Village by Plainfield Mayor Michael P. Collins on September 25.

“This quilt contest is part of our mission at Cedarlake Village to not only serve those who call

this community home, but the surrounding Plainfield community as well. Our residents really enjoy participating in volunteer activities like this,” says Cedarlake Village Executive Director Sara Friel.

Any church interested in submitting a quilt to the contest should contact Cheryl Ghassan, director of marketing, at (815) 2543564 or by e-mail at ghassancheryl@ cedarlakevillage.com.

PINBALL

in ‘Medieval Madness’ or battling Magneto in ‘X-Men’.

Henderson also thrives on the strategy of the game, he said.

“Just pressing the buttons madly or hitting the ball as it comes back doesn’t always lead to the highest scores,” he explained. “You have to ‘cradle’ the ball, meaning you hold the flipper up so the ball loses its speed and eventually stops. Now you can aim for an obtainable shot from whatever flipper the ball is resting on.”

He went on to explain how shaking the game was risky but effective, and bumping the game was a better option, excitedly sharing his love of the game with anyone who was listening.

“Next year I want to travel to Europe to represent the USA in international competition,” he said. “In the mean time, I like playing pinball and want to share the fun and excitement of playing the game with my friends.“ Helping him get there are his parents, Mark and Margaret Henderson.

“My dad is crazy about pinball,

yet he’s also a good coach,” Henderson said. “He’ll help teach me some pinball skills that could boost my scores and help me place better in the tournaments.”

Mom, he said, was a harder sell.

“My mom isn’t that thrilled that we have two large, heavy pinball machines in our living room, or that sometimes pinball tournaments are on school days or school nights, but she still roots me on when I play.”

Continued from page 1 terms of popularity. Home video systems are now commonplace in living rooms across America, while pinball machines are a rarity even in arcades.

“Although my friends can say that pinball is old, they still enjoy the game, though they don’t go all-out like I do and travel to tournaments around the world,” he said. “Pinball is a game for everybody, and for friends that is a definite ‘yes.’”

For Henderson, it was love at first sight.

“Pinball always appealed to me because it was attentiongrabbing,” he said. “The colors, lights and mechanical features really draw you in, and when you play really well, you can put up a show and attract many a passerby.”

Additionally, he said he likes the story many pinball machines offer.

Plainfield woman killed in Door County A Plainfield resident has been killed and another charged with the murder in Door County Wisconsin this week.

Wisconsin Sheriff’s Police are holding 35-year old Brian Cooper of 2437 Oak Tree Lane, for the shooting death of 21-yearold Alisha Bromfield of Plainfield in a motel room at the Sand Bay Beach Resort in Nasewaupee, Wisc. The couple had reportedly been in the area together to attend a wedding in nearby Egg Harbor.

It was Cooper, officials say, who allegedly telephoned police over the weekend from a store in nearby Sister Bay, and told them he had killed his girlfriend.

Bromfield was later found, deceased, in the couple’s motel room.

Plainfield residents go green with surge in recycling

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

If you build it, they will come…and if you provide it, they will recycle. That seems to be the message in Plainfield, where resident recycling rates have increased by 20 percent with the advent of a new cartbased waste system in town.

Perhaps providing the needed proof that recycling is all about ease and accessibility, Plainfield officials report that since Waste Management delivered recycling carts to village residents in March, The amount of material diverted to recycling has increased by several hundred tons over a three month period.

More than 1,000 tons of material have been deposited for recycling compared to 884 tons in the same period in 2011.

Waste Management delivered 24,000 wheeled, 96-gallon refuse and recycling carts at no additional charge to Plainfield’s 12,000 households in March as a means to improve the community’s collection program. Mayor Mike Collins said he is “delighted” with the results.

“The new containers made it easier for our residents to recycle and wheel their trash to the curb for collection,” he said in a release. “The result is we have a cleaner community with less litter and a lot more waste diverted from the landfill.”

Experts estimate at least 50 percent of average household

“The result is we have

a cleaner community with less litter and a lot more waste diverted from the landfill.”

Mike Collins, mayor trash consists of paper,cardboard, tin, aluminum and glass, all recyclables. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, recycling glass saves about 30 percent of the energy cost of producing new glass.The EPA estimates that producing a recycled paper product requires only 60 percent of the energy required to create one from fresh wood pulp, and the Energy Administration Information reports that recycling a ton of paper can save 17 trees.

Recycling an aluminum can requires less than five percent of the energy that would be expended in creating a similar can out of fresh bauxite ore, saving enough energy per can to power a television for three hours.

Both the capacity, more than five times that of the previous containers, and the wheeled style are being attributed to the program’s success in Plainfield and in other communities the company services. Waste Management officials say they are hoping for continued improvement.

Illustrated Opinions

The Enterprise, Thursday, August 23, 2012

From Years Past Five years ago…2007 • A month after a land purchase deal fell through, the District 202 Board of Education approved a resolution to move forward with plans to condemn the property.

On July 16, the board voted to use its powers of eminent domain to acquire the former site of the Ball-Foster Glass Company at Route 59 and 143rd Street.

Ten years ago… 2002 • The Plainfield District 202 teachers’ union and school board negotiating teams reached an impasse regarding a new teacher contract. As a result, both teams decided to meet with a federal mediator.

Despite their differences on contract-related issues, both parties agreed that the ongoing negotiation process had been conducted professionally and that, in many areas, had been highly productive.

• Following approximately four hours of deliberation, the Plainfield District 202 Board of Education voted 5-2 to approve a clarification to a contract addendum that had been approved Aug. 19 for its superintendent of schools.

The clarification specified that Superintendent David P. Stanfield would not be paid for a leave he had taken in his home state of Texas.

The board confirmed that upon his return Jan. 5, 2003, Stanfield would be paid a salary of $132,496 including Teacher Retirement System benefits during the 2002-03 school year.

Fifteen years ago… 1997 • Following nearly two hours of discussion about traffic in Plainfield with Illinois Department of Transportation Area Programmer Ed Zak, the Plainfield Village Board settled on two priorities, both related to 143rd Street.

Trustees wanted to see Route 30 truck traffic taken off Lockport Street in downtown Plainfield and rerouted onto 143rd Street as a bypass to Route 59.

The board also envisioned the extension of 143rd Street east from Route 59 to I-55 as both a traffic bypass and a way to open up village industrial sites to development.

Twenty years ago… 1992 • The Enterprise published a photo of the 12 new staff members welcomed to Plainfield School District 202:Amy Reid, Kevin Meehan, Melynda Blaylock, Chris McAllister,Vickey Zehringer, John Billerman, Janet Eggenberger, Jean Ksiazak, Lori Boyd, Karen Zay, Darlene Gilbeck and Elizabeth Beinhauer.

Twenty-five years ago… 1987 • As classes began in District 202, principals reported enrollment figures at their individual schools.

At Central Elementary School, Richard Schleeter reported 628 students; at Grand Prairie Elementary, Howard Saar said enrollment was at 450 students; and Crystal Lawns Elementary School Principal Charles Anderson estimated enrollment at 325 to 330 students.

Indian Trail Junior High School Principal Jo Jean Morris said enrollment for sixth, seventh and eighth grades was at 665, while Principal James Waldorf estimated 1,097 students would attend Plainfield High School.

Village Board Notes Christmas in October set for Village Hall The Plainfield Village Board has OK’d a request from the International Association of Administrative Professionals to hold a small business expo and vendor fair on Oct. 27 at Village Hall.

The request came before the board because the Village Hall Community Room,where the event would be held, is designated for non-profit use only, and organizers of the IAAP Christmas in October Event want to allow vendors to offer items for sale.

The approval is an exception to the Community Room policy, and not a permanent change.

The association itself is a not-forprofit organization that advocates on behalf of administrative professionals.

Exceptions like this one have been made in the past for similar events, village officials said.

Office building to receive facade grant The Plainfield Village Board

has approved a façade grant of up to $11,000 for a single-story building at 15028 S. Des Plaines St. Applicant Robert Whitley indicated that the improvements would include replacement of the front entry doors, and most of the buildings windows.

The village’s facade improvement program reimburses up to 50 percent of the total project’s construction cost, up to $150,000 for the purpose of reducing teardowns and allowing property owners to restore already existing buildings.

Located in the downtown tax increment financing district, the office building was originally built in 1965.

Will SPC again go through Plainfield?

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

The Southwest Prairie Conference championship has gone through Plainfield in recent years as three of the schools have won the past four titles, with Central winning twice.

This year North comes in as the defending champion and it looks for more this year. “(We want to) defend our SPC Title, advance as a team to sectionals as we did last year and advance more than one individual to the state tournament,” North coach Brad Shinovich said. “We will need hard work, work on a more consistent mental game and scoring by all members of the team.”

Shinovich knows it won’t be easy though as the conference has been close in recent years.

“It is hard to say at this point (who the team to beat is) as all teams in the conference lost key players,” he said. “Our conference tends to be very competitive year after year and any team can sneak up on you any given day.”

North returns seniors Jason Tipton and Patrick McCarthy junior Ben Roth and sophomores Taylor Hollingshaus and Greg Rash.

They will be joined by newcomers Zaid Esaak, Jacob Walisiak and Nicholas Zenobi.

“After losing two players from last year, we have some new faces to the varsity program who have talent and are eager to show what they can do,” Shinovich said. “Our team has depth which is important. Since we do have several talented golfers that are new to the varsity level, they will need to get acclimated quickly and post some scores to help our team reach their goals.”

CENTRAL Plainfield Central is looking to get back in the winner’s circle in the SPC.They will have Mitch Young to lead the way. Young is the defending conference champ and a three-time All-SPC member. David Drilling in a new member of the lineup and will be competing in the No. 5 spot.

“Our goals are to win conference and advance as a team to the sectional tournament,” Central coach Darren Kobliska said. “We will need hard work and consistency.”

Kobliska feels that Plainfield North and Minooka will be the teams to beat, but he feels the Wildcats can finish right up there.

“We have a great group with a lot of potential,” stated Kobliska.

“The success we hope to achieve this year will ultimately be decided by how consistent we can shoot. We have a few players who can shoot pretty well. Putting four good scores together will be the key to achieving our goals.”

EAST Plainfield East is the lone district team not to win the title in recent years, but are shaping up to make a run with four veterans.

Junior Jake Kaufman returns for his third varsity season and was an All-SPC performer and sectional qualifier last year.

He is joined by seniors David Pikul, Kevin Pikul and Alex Turk.

Sophomore Nathan Gentili and freshman John Zeedyk are expected to make an impact.

“The goals for this season are to compete for the top spot in the SPC Conference,” East coach Brad Neubauer said. “We’re returning four golfers who have had at least two or three

years of varsity experience. Jake Kaufman is as consistent a golfer as there in the conference, and I expect him to compete for the MVP of the SPC. Kevin Pikul has dedicated himself to getting better all summer, and I expect for him to receive his first All-Conference nomination and advance to the sectional tournament.

“Lastly, I expect Alex Turk and David Pikul to play consistent golf all year. Each of them has the talent to be All-Conference selections, and if we are led by these four golfers, we have the potential to be one of the best teams in the SPC.” Neubauer feels that this is the year for the Bengals.

“This is the year for us to do some damage in the conference,” he said. “We have four golfers capable of shooting in the 30’s, and coupled with young newcomers Nathan Gentili and John Zeedyk, we have a legit possibility to be one of the top three teams in the conference.”

While most of the conference will be focused on the Plainfield schools, Neubauer feels a different school might be the team to beat.

“Plainfield North is obviously the top team coming off their championship from last year, but I feel Oswego is the team to beat,” Neubauer said. “They were playing incredibly good golf towards the end of the season last year, and they only lost a couple seniors.”

SOUTH Plainfield South returns seniors Matt Miller, Brett Donahue and Mchale Crowel.

Sophomore Isaiah Pina was moved up midway through last year and is expected to be at the No. 1 position, replacing Matt Ward, who is off to play in college.

Scott Taylor/Enterprise Staff

Central’s Mitch Young is the defending SPC champion.

Others expected in the lineup are juniors Shelby Curry and Tom Kim and sophomores Chris Glagola and Brian Ward.

“We want to win conference and advance to sectionals as a team,” South coach Tim Boe said.

Plainfield North took second place at the Plainfield Central Invite with a 305 total. LincolnWay Central won with a 304.

North’s Roth shot a 2-under par 70 to take home the medalist honors. Holingshaus added a 75, while McCarthy and Rash each shot 80s.

East shot a 355 and was led by Kaufman and Kevin Pikul, who each shot 82s. Central fired a 361 and was paced by Young’s 77, while South had a 362 and were led by an 85 from Miller. staylor@enterprisepublications.com

Duo among top players in Voyager Media coverage area

By Scott Taylor and Mark Gregory

With the football season upon us, there is even more anticipation than normal.

That is because the Voyager Media coverage area has a plethora of Division-I recruits hitting the fields on Friday night.

SPOTLIGHT Headlining the list is Joliet Catholic running back Ty Isaac, who is headed to the University of Southern California.

Isaac, the 6-foot, 3-inch, 217-pounder is the top rated running back in the state and No. 7 in the nation as ranked by ESPN. Isaac rushed for a schoolrecord 2,114 yards and 45 touchdowns last season.

“It is huge to have my college picked so I can just focus on JCA and focus on this team,” Isaac said.

Isaac is looking for that elusive state title to go with all his stats.

“This is it,” he said. “The state won’t let me come back for a fifth year, so I have to win now.”

While Isaac had a superb state title game last year, so did Bolingbrook quarterback Aaron Bailey.

The University of Illinoisbound quarterback led his team to the school’s first-ever state title.

Bailey returns as defending

Voyager Media player of the year. In the state final game last season, Bailey ran 34 times for 149 yards and two touchdowns and was 8-for-13 passing for 140 yards as Bolingbrook beat Loyola 21-17.

On the season, he ran for 1,973 yards and 30 touchdowns and passed for 1,039 yards and 10 more TDs. Bailey will see a lot of fellow Class of 2013 quarterback Matt Alviti over the next four years, as Alviti committed to play for Northwestern next season.

“It is a big relief to not worry about where I am going to school next year,”Alviti said.“The coaching staff is great there, the coaches I like and they run an offense a lot like we run here at Maine South.”

There are multiple Division-I recruits in the Southwest Prairie Conference.

Plainfield Central’s Bryce Douglas is headed to the University of Illinois to follow his father’s footsteps, who played basketball there.

“Now I can focus on making my Plainfield Central High School football team better,” Douglas said. “The added stress of trying to go out there and perform my game rather than the team game was probably going to be a big stress for me, my dad was telling me. I’m glad I got that out of the way and we felt we made the right decision.

Now I can focus on what I have See PLAYERS, page 15

The Enterprise, Thursday, August 23, 2012

PLAYERS Continued from page 14 to do here.”

Douglas hopes the Wildcats can get back to the playoffs this year.

“We have to take things one game at a time,” he said. “None of us have been to the playoffs.

We have to take it one week at a time and not rush anything.

If we do that, we can definitely win a conference championship and go deep in the playoffs.”

Romeoville’s Caleb Bailey is another force on the defensive side of the ball and is still looking at colleges to attend.

“I’m not worried about it too much,” he said. “Especially since it’s football season, I’m not concerned with it. School hasn’t started yet, so I’m just focused on football.”

Instead, Caleb Bailey is focused on his teammates.

“We’re taking that underdog mentality,” he said.“We did good on 7-on-7s and we are (ready for the season).”

A pair of Northwestern recruits that will join Alviti next year are also hitting the field in the SPC as linemen Blake King from Minooka and Tyler Lancaster from Plainfield East are ready to have big senior seasons.

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Plainfield Central’s Bryce Douglas will be among the area’s top players all season.

Naperbrook offers challenging greens

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

It didn’t hit me until a couple days after I played Naperbrook Golf Course that the greens were quite challenging.

Thinking back on my round, I realized I had a lot of difficult putts up and down slopes. That made me think that the greens are the most unique feature of the course.

There might have been even more hills and slopes on the green than what I saw, but I had to deal with them on hole Nos. 1, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18.

The course starts with a straightforward hole with a dogleg left at the second hole.

Then comes the par-5 third hole that offers quite the challenge.

It is a sharp dogleg right with water to the right and in front of the dogleg. Your options are either to keep it left and make it a long three shot hole, or try to hit it over the water and have a chance to reach a fairly tight green in two. Definitely was one of my favorite holes.

Both par-3s on the front side (holes 4 and 8) had bunkers guarding them, making them difficult holes. After a short par4 fifth hold and a longer par-4 sixth hole, my favorite hole was up next.

The par-5 seventh hole starts off pretty wide and then narrows greatly at the green.

There are hazards on both sides of the green with a small fairway in front of the green. This makes it a very difficult hole to reach in two and it is a must to be accurate with your approach shot.

Scott Taylor/Bugle Staff

Holes No. 12 and No. 16 share a single green with two hole locations.

Heading to the back side, the 10th hole is a short par-4 that also narrows a bit toward the green and has water to the right.

The 12th hole, a par-3 offers up a double green, where the 16th hole is also shot to. There is a large mound in the middle separating the two holes, making it a unique feature of the course.

The 13th hole is a scenic hole that offers up a difficult approach and water to the left.

The 14th hole is a par-5 that has a lot of room to the right, but to the left is easy to hit it over the fence and out of bounds. There

is a large green up at the hole.

Next is the longest par-3 on the course with a bunker in front of the green, and then there is the difficult driving hole, which is the par-4 16th. There are a pair of fairway bunkers blocking a straight drive, and there is water to the right as the fairway bends to the left. Despite it not being long, it is difficult.

The 17th is a short par-4 and definitely a birdie hole and is followed by a par-5 to finish, which can also be birdied. The main entrance and parking lot is on the left and can be hit, which

is also out of bounds. There is room to the right, but with the dogleg left, it makes it a much longer hole. The green is uphill and has sharp contours.

The more I think of the course, the more I like it. It is a fun course to play and not overly challenging. However, it does give you a good test on the green, especially when you hit the wrong places. The more you play the course though, the more you can probably avoid the hilly parts of the green.

As was the case with the other courses I reviewed, it was in

great shape, despite the lack of rain. The price point isn’t bad for it being in Naperville, but at $54 with a car during the week, it could probably be a few dollars cheaper. The main problem I had was that it was 90 degrees outside and there was no beverage cart. Maybe it was because it was in the morning, but there should be more access to fluids, whether it be more coolers or a beverage cart.

All in all it was a very nice course and one I would play again. staylor@buglenewspapers.com

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

Edward Hospital has opened the doors to its newest Plainfield facility this week, as it began seeing patients at the Edward Healthcare Center at 16519 S. Route 59 (Route 59 and Dayfield Drive) in Plainfield.

The 22,000 square foot facility will serve as a replacement to Edward’s 15905 Frederick St. location, which recently closed.

Calling the new center home will be three primary care physicians from Edward Medical Group, including family practice physicians Sanjeeb Khatua, MD, Lilia Protaziuk, MD and Bob William, MD. The center also offers Physical Therapy,Lab Services and Imaging, including digital mammography, X-ray and ultrasound. In addition, the new location features sameday appointments and extended hours, including Saturdays and Sundays.

Edward officials say the center is an ideal go-to location for illnesses such as colds, coughs, sore throats, ear aches, flu

symptoms, and minor injuries.

Edward will host a community Open House at the facility from 10 a.m.- noon on Saturday, September 22. For more information and to schedule appointments, call (630) 6465020.

The new facility is the latest to open in the area, complementing of area Edward facilities,including its 60-acre Edward Plainfield campus, located at 127th St. and Van Dyke Rd, which offers a 24/7 Emergency Room, Cancer Center, Outpatient Center, medical offices and surgery center.

Naperville-based Edward has long-desired to build a second hospital at its 127th St location, but efforts have been blocked by everything from state approval to economic conditions. Hospital CEO Pam Davis has said the project is still very much in her mind as a goal for the future.

For now, Edward operates healthcare centers and medical offices in Plainfield, Oswego, Naperville, Bolingbrook, Yorkville, Crest Hill, Lisle, Sandwich, St. Charles,Warrenville and Woodridge.
