By DAN FARNHAM LEMONT – It’s not the traditional story of a son learning his father’s trade while growing up, but timing and circumstance brought father and son Phil and Ryan Sullivan of Lemont into business together. Phil owns Tom Callahan Plumbing, while Ryan owns Sullivan’s Home Design Center, both located at 900 Main St. in Lemont. “While our businesses are separate in name, we utilize a lot of each other’s employees,” Ryan said. “We utilize each other’s services. We utilize each other’s resources, as far as tools and trucks and brain power.” Phil said the business began as a plumbing company he started with his former partner, Tom Callahan. About 10 years ago, Callahan moved, and Phil bought the entire company. “I decided at that time that, though my name is Sullivan, to leave it Callahan Plumbing because the community knew the company fairly well at that point,” he said. In 2004, Phil purchased the property at 900 Main St. and built a showroom to expand into the kitchen and bath design business. Ryan graduated from DePaul University in 2005 with a degree in business and marketing and was struggling to find a career.

“My dad had this exciting opportunity where he was going to open this second business, but he was going to need someone to run it on a day-today basis because he had his hands full with the plumbing business,” he said. Ryan had a partner in the business from 2005-09, when it was called Sullivan and James. He said he had little experience with plumbing or construction industry when he started. “My dad never pushed his business on my brothers and I,” he said. “Once we got to the age where maybe our manpower could help our father, we were spending our time playing club sports and being involved in extracurricular activities in high school.” While still learning about the industry, Ryan said he used marketing experience his father did not have to help with advertising and branding. He also made sure to become involved in the community, including the Lemont Area Chamber of Commerce. “Right away, I knew I had to get out from my dad’s spotlight in the community because a lot of people know him as ‘Phil the Plumber’ and I had to build my own name,” he said. While Phil has taught Ryan how to be a business owner, Phil said Ryan has brought a lot to the business, as well. “When I saw Ryan in the business and I saw the value

he had, I realized how important it was to have a family member in the business that I could be able to talk to and trust about things that maybe you wouldn’t if it wasn’t a family member,” he said. Phil said young people, in general, are an asset in the workplace and he tries to surround himself with younger employees. “I think their ideas, the way they look at things, are refreshingly better in a lot of ways than my generation,” he said. Ryan said he gets most of his business leads from his father’s plumbing company. He said that having a family business adds a trust factor with customers, especially in a small town like Lemont. “When [customers] come in and see that I’m his son, their eyes, you can tell right away, light up,” he said. “That, ‘Oh, we had a comfort level with Phil for 20 years, so we know we’re going to have that comfort level with you.’”

Board clears way for new housing development By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The Lemont Village Board annexed 6.5 acres of land on the east end of Stoney Brook Drive in Mayfair Estates and approved a planned unit development for a new housing subdivision during its Monday meeting. The subdivision, proposed by Tempo Development Inc., would include 19 lots and be bordered on the east by Interstate 355. The board had to change the zoning requirements for the land because 19 lots were too dense under the previous zoning requirements. The village had agreed that the smaller lots are the most economically viable layout for the size of the area. Lemont Mayor Brian

The traffic light scheduled to go up May 30 at McCarthy and Walker roads has been delayed because of a miscommunication between the construction company in charge of the project and ComEd. Lemont Public Works Director Ralph Pukula said ComEd installed a street light instead of a traffic light and it will be two to three weeks before they can install the correct light. Lemont Police Chief Kevin Shaughnessy said the police department collected $6,000 during its Cop on Top fundraiser at Dunkin’ Donuts to benefit Illinois Special Olympics.

District 113A to pay off $560K in bonds

John LaSota of Lemont (center) celebrates five years of surviving prostate cancer during the Celebrate Life event at Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Midwestern Regional Medical Center. He walked down a red carpet lined with hundreds of cheering family, friends and hospital care team members and took part in a tree planting ceremony.

LEMONT – District 113A will save $100,000 in interest on bond payments over the next five years by paying off $560,000 in callable 2001A bonds. The Board of Education discussed the plan during its meeting Tuesday night and will formally vote on it at a later meeting. District Business Manager Barbara Germany said the district has accumulated $1.6 million in its Debt Service Fund from earned interest income and loss in cost funds. Loss in cost income comes from the Cook County Clerk adding a factor to each bond issue in case some tax receipts go uncollected. Besides saving the district money, paying off the bonds early could result in a small decrease in the district’s property tax levy, Germany said. Other district issues discussed Tuesday include: • While in the process of receiving bids for leasing school buses, district officials determined they could save approximately $30,000 by eliminating one bus route and leasing one less bus. The proposal would be for 18 bus routes and 20 buses.

Incoming Superintendent Courtney Orzel said the fifth grade move to River Valley School will balance out the bus routes and allow for one less route. She said some routes could take longer with the change, but does not foresee any route being more than 40 minutes. The district is looking for ways to cut transportation costs after the board decided against outsourcing its bus drivers in April. • The district is looking for a replacement for Director of Operations and Director of Buildings and Grounds Pam Mazurek, who retires at the end of June. The board discussed whether they wanted to hire one person to do both jobs or split it into two different jobs as it was previously. Orzel said while it would be ideal to have two positions, keeping it one position would be the fiscally conservative decision. While some board members were concerned whether they could find a candidate capable of working both positions, Orzel suggested posting the position as currently constituted. “It would be great to have someone hired at the July meeting,” she said. “That would be our goal.”

Lemont Village Trustee Debby Blatzer said losing all those trees also will affect the beauty of the village. “It will truly be devastating for some subdivisions because all of those trees are eventually going to be going down,” she said.

Alvernia Manor welcomes another centenarian By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Olga Donati does not think turning 100 years old is a big deal. But she understands why everyone else thinks it is, because not everyone reaches that age. Donati celebrated her 100th birthday at a party with family and fellow residents June 5 at Alvernia Manor in Lemont. Her actual birthday was June 7. According her niece, Mary Castaldo, Donati lived in Chicago for most of her life. Castaldo said her aunt had a tough life growing up. “She would say, ‘It was a rugged life,’” she said. Donati’s father died when she was 5, and, growing up in The Depression era, her family had to work hard to make ends meet.

Color-themed fun run set June 29 at Centennial Campus What is the biggest and coolest trend in the race world right now? Color-themed fun runs! The Lemont Park District is pleased to introduce Lemont’s inaugural race of this kind, the Color Me Proud Freedom 5k at 8 a.m. June 29 at Centennial Campus. We have re-branded our annual Freedom Run and COMMUNITY added a splash of Patriotic VOICE Color. The race will kick-off Jen the District’s Freedom Days Celebration, a series of patriSaylor otic-themed events leading up to Lemont’s annual July 3 Independence Day Extravaganza. You’ve seen it all over various media channels – people photographed laughing, running, posing, drenched with vibrant colors. So how does this happen? Well, the race starts out pretty typically. Participants, who are usually dressed as blank canvases in all white, flock to the “starting” point. The bull horn goes off and the “show” begins. As runners (and walkers) take to the course they pass through various “color stations.” Here, they are splashed with bright colored powder. The color is food-grade quality cornstarch that is biodegradable, non-toxic and 100 percent safe. During the Lemont Park District’s Color Me Proud Freedom 5k, there will be four color stations featuring Patriotic colors along the course. Volunteers will be located at color stations with bulk buckets of powder and as participants pass, the volunteers will shower them with colors. The Color Me Proud Freedom 5K is a fun, family-friendly 5k open to all abilities and all ages. Participants are welcome to run, jog or walk during this untimed event. Registration is taking place on www.active. com. An All-American After-Party will take place at Centennial Park following the race featuring music, giveaways and the final color throw. For information visit www.LemontParkDistrict.org or contact me at Jennifer-saylor@lemontparkdistrict.org. Hope to see you there – it’s going to be a colorful blast!

The choice of state for Obama’s library is simple, since he claims birthrights in the state of Hawaii, it should be obvious. [But] since Chicago insists that it should be built in Illinois, then by all means the choice of location is simple. The home he owns now should be the library of choice since he hasn’t done anything great since he has taken office, but bring America down and throwing the seniors under the bus as well! The taxpayers should not have to fund this library! The leftist, socialist and billionaire George Soros should fund it.

By MAUREEN BLEVINS Shaw Media Correspondent

Her family physician recommended a stress test, and after seeing Kolyvas, she was immediately sent to Presence St. Joseph Medical Center. An angioplasty was scheduled for the following day. “That was good, though,” Brockman said. “I didn’t have time to think about it.” After being diagnosed with cancer in 2000, Brockman had her right kidney removed. A year later, doctors found a spot on the remaining kidney and a portion of it was removed. Brockman is thankful she has been cancer-free, but with less-than-normal kidney function, her doctors didn’t want to stress her remaining kidney with open heart surgery. So, using this new technique specifically for highrisk patients, which the FDA approved for use in the United States in 2011, according to Boston Scientific, Kolyvas performed the angioplasty. Kolyvas estimated that approximately 30 of these procedures have been performed at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center since September 2013. Kolyvas stressed this surgery “is not for everyone” and is only one of several available options. Brockman, however, because of her high risk factor was a good candidate.

A graduate of Loyola Medical and an interventional cardiologist with Heartland for approximately 20 years, Kolyvas is one of three surgeons at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center who has been trained in the new technology, Kolyvas said. The other two surgeons are Dr. Govind Ramadurai with Heartland Cardiovascular Center and Dr. George Aziz with Heart Care Centers of Illinois (Joliet office), said Jan Ciccarelli, director of marketing and community relations at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center. Brockman said her surgery took about an hour. According to Kolyvas, it can take up to three. Brockman said the hardest part was lying still for 12 hours following the surgery. The next day, Brockman was back home with her husband Richard. With the exception of some temporary bans on lifting, she immediately resumed normal activities. Furthermore, Brockman has no more discomfort when walking, is able to go shopping and most importantly, pick up her grandsons. She feels good about the procedure. Would she recommend it to other potential candidates? “Oh, yes,” Brockman said, “in a heartbeat.”

Remembering MAA

dances in the gym, running with a backpack full of textbooks from one of our mobile classrooms to the main building’s third floor before the bell rang, trying to convince Sr. Maryann that I didn’t have gum in my mouth, counting out my change to buy a 95-cent plate of “gems” (tater tots) from the cafeteria, preparing for Advanced Placement tests and the ACT. I’m fortunate to have met my best friends at MAA two decades ago and even more fortunate that we’ve maintained

these relationships. Our shared values and experiences tie us together even as we’ve grown and changed over the years. MAA might be gone, but it’s not forgotten. It lives on in the sisters, staff, volunteers, parents and alumnae – hundreds of us who make up the MAA family here in the greater Chicago area and around the world. MAA is forever in our hearts, and for that I am grateful.

LETTERS Where’s the Catholic Church? I’m 78 and I went to Catholic schools all my life. I am a devout Catholic. I was taught from third grade on that the Catholic Church is all for one, one for all. I saw in Lemont Suburban Life that Mount Assisi is closing. The Catholic Church in Rome has a heckuva lot of money –why can’t some of that money be used to keep the school open? Joseph Paylo Lemont

Cardinal Francis George spoke for all of us gathered at Mount Assisi Academy’s closing Mass on Sunday, June 1, when he said it’s not about the building – it’s about the relationships. When I look back on the four years I spent at this all girls’ high school in Lemont, it is indeed the relationships and experiences that stand out: chugging up our infamous “Nosebleed Hill” with other members of the cross country and track teams, dancing with our shoes off at Homecoming

Margaret W. Rimbo, age 64, died suddenly on June 7, 2014. Devoted wife of Donald Rimbo for 45 years; beloved mother of Don (Lisa); cherished grandmother of Jack, Jeffrey and Jessica Rimbo; dear sister of Dr. William R. (Dr. Evelyn) Braithwaite, Shirley (Terry) Hunt, and Barbara Adamec; sisterin-law of Sue (Harry) Fejedelem, Bonnie (Bob) Swanson; aunt of numerous loving nieces and nephews and a loyal and cherished friend to many. Margaret was born on April 20, 1950 in Vancouver, British Columbia, to John “Jack” Shaw and Margaret M. (nee Scott) Braithwaite. In 1955, her family left British Columbia and moved to Burlington, Ontario where they lived until 1960. A job transfer for her father moved the family to Lisle, Illinois where Margaret resided until she met and married her husband in September of 1969. Margaret graduated from Lisle Community High School and the College of DuPage. She enjoyed a fulfilling career working first for the Illinois Tollway and then as an Executive Assistant for the Village of Oak Brook for more than 20 years. While Margaret did love her work, her first love was being a mother to her only child, Don, and a loving and devoted grandmother to her three grandchildren whom she adored. Margaret loved spending time with her family and friends, had an easy sense of humor and a contagious laugh. She was a good, kind-hearted woman and will be missed by all who had the honor of knowing and loving her. Visitation Friday, June 13, 2014, 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Petkus & Son Funeral Home, 12401 S. Archer Avenue, Lemont, IL 60439.

Barbara Brockman is looking forward to the day when her new grandson is old enough to sit in a wagon so she can take him and his 3-year-old brother for a walk. Thanks to a relatively new procedure for coronary total occlusion, Brockman, 65, of Wilmington will be able to do just that. Pain free. CTO is a complete blockage of the coronary arteries, said Dr. Chris Kolyvas of Heartland Cardiovascular Center in Joliet. When partial blockage occurs, an angioplasty – where an interventional cardiologist inserts a balloon catheter to widen the opening and place a stent – is often recommended, he said. This keeps blood flowing to the heart muscle. However, if the blockage is complete and present for some time, it can become quite hard, making it impossible to insert a catheter and place a stent, Kolyvas said. Tools are available for blockages in the legs, kidneys and the carotid artery, but because the heart and its arteries are more delicate, this type of tool had not been available for coronary angioplasty, until recently. That’s because, according to a news release from Pres-

ence Saint Joseph Medical Center, two new tools from Boston Scientific – the CrossBoss and Stingray – tunnel through plaque and then direct the balloon and stent. Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet is only one of six Illinois hospitals to offer this new procedure using these tools, the release noted. Heart disease is responsible for one in every four deaths in the United States. Coronary artery disease is the most common type of heart disease, according to a Boston Scientific statistic sheet. Yet many patients with CTO often hear angioplasty cannot be used to treat them and that they must use medication or undergo bypass surgery, the statistic sheet also said. Brockman was one of them. She wasn’t surprised to hear she had a heart condition, she said. An EKG several years ago was normal, but she knew things weren’t right when she felt short of breath while shopping, doing housework or playing with her oldest grandson. “I felt pain when I walked; a tightness in the right side of my neck and some minor pain in my chest and my shoulder,” Brockman said. “I knew it was time to visit the doctor.”

Food vendors at the event include Dairy Queen, Genoa Italian Concession, McQ’s Bar & Grill, New China Express, R & S Concessions and Zacarelli’s Pizza, according to an event brochure. The Fireworks Spectacular is Saturday evening. Parking for the event will be available at the Town Centre and the Community Center, with overflow parking available in the grassy lot on Woodridge Drive between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the fire

station. Bikes can be placed and locked at the bike racks located near Entrance 1, which is next to the BINGO tent and portable bathrooms, according to an event brochure. Megan Pettit, public relations and marketing manager with the Woodridge Park District, said the park district and village decided to partner to put on the festival since the entities already partner on other projects. “It’s one of those partnerships that works great with all the employees getting together to put on a community event,” Pettit said. “It’s to put on a free community event so people don’t have to pull out their wallets just to get in the door.”

Fundraiser nets fire victims more than $30k for ‘fresh start’ By RYAN TERRELL rterrell@shawmedia.com WOODRIDGE – An outpouring of community support for 11 families displaced by an apartment complex fire culminated with more than $30,000 in donations for the families during a spaghetti dinner fundraiser over the weekend. The event was hosted by the Woodridge Jaycees, but a number of community organizations and residents pitched

in, according to Debi White, an organizer of the event and a Jaycees member. The 11 families were displaced when a fire swept through a 12-unit building in Golf Meadow Estates in the 7700 block of Woodward Avenue on May 1. All residents – and their pets – escaped the blaze without injury but it caused catastrophic damage to the building, burning up most of the families’ belongings. Fire officials said a propane grill

caused the fire. White said organizers were still tallying the totals from the fundraiser. “It went really, really well,” she said of Saturday’s event at Zero Gravity. “We were very pleasantly surprised.” The affected families were among the 100-plus in attendance, she said. “They were all just speechless and amazed at how the community came together for them to make them know they are not alone,” White said.

“We really wanted to help them get a fresh start.” White added four of the 11 families have found permanent homes, while the other seven have been staying with family and friends. Topping the donations was a $23,500 check from the DuPage Community Foundation, a grantmaking foundation formed in 1986 to benefit DuPage County residents. Other notable contributors, according to White, included the Live Like Mike

foundation, which donated $2,500, the Woodridge Rotary Club, the Woodridge Park District, the Woodridge Public Library, Bridgeview Bank in Woodridge, which collected gift cards, and Angel Song Entertainment, which donated DJ services. Local resident Pamela Chatmon Miles also organized a clothing drive for the fire victims. Those who would still like to donate can do so by visiting www.woodridgejaycees. org.

Restaurant reviews

Wheaton’s Il Sogno promises dream dinner out WHEATON – During a sunny afternoon girls day out, my friend and I made our way to Il Sogno Ristorante, perched on a second floor in downtown Wheaton. Summoned to refuel by our growling stomachs, we gladly took the hostess’ invitation to sit near one of the attractive dining room’s plum spots – along a large window looking out over Front Street. Our attentive waiter brought a basket of warm bread to our table, which I happily dipped in olive oil and fresh Parmesan cheese, while my friend and I questioned him about the menu and day’s specials. We decided to start with the bruschetta, and our server returned with a plate of four crispy slices of bread piled high with tomatoes and basil under generous slices of buffalo mozzarella. He placed one on each of our plates before setting the others in the center of the table. We quickly cleared all three plates of the appetizer, scooping up runaway tomatoes with our forks. Before our entrees arrived, my friend enjoyed a satisfying minestrone soup filled with generously-sized pieces of potato, carrot and other vegetables. I chose a crisp salad with the house dressing, a tasty and refreshing option after strolling all afternoon. While choosing our main course, our waiter explained the chef would be happy to prepare a meal from the menu sans garlic for my friend, because everything is made fresh to order. Although in my opinion, a touch of garlic elevates almost any savory dish, my friend has an aversion to the flavor. Pleased with our waiter’s offer, she chose a garlic-free Tilapia Francese, in which the fish filet is lightly egg-battered, then sauteed in a lemon-butter sauce and served with sauteed spinach. Steam was still rising from her plate when it arrived, and she raved about the flavor combina-

Brett Twohill holds up the supersectional championship plaque he and his Lemont baseball teammates won Monday with a victory against De La Salle. With the win, the Indians earned their first trip to the state finals.

Singular goal as Lemont baseball heads to state By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com CRESTWOOD – In a season of firsts for Lemont’s baseball team, Monday’s moment at Standard Bank Stadium rates as the best to date. But the Indians hope the celebration after their Class 3A supersectional victory pales in comparison to what could take place Saturday in Joliet. Fresh off its first sectional championship in program history Saturday, Lemont punched its ticket to the state semifinals with an 11-1 decision against De La Salle in six innings. “The goal is always to get

two runs apiece. Production throughout the lineup will be useful as the Indians aim to achieve a goal they set early in the season. “At the beginning of the year, this was our main goal,” Papierski said. “This team has really come together and we’ve gotten hot in the playoffs.” Indeed, in Lemont’s five postseason wins, the Indians have outscored the opposition 35-4. They’ve also upped their victory total to 35, another new program record. “We just have to continue to do our thing,” Storako said. “We have to pitch well, field well and hit well. We can’t beat ourselves.”

Emily Durham. “Rachel in center, people don’t run on her because of her arm,” Traina said. “She really took control of our outfield. And I couldn’t ask anything more from my pitchers, they do their job every day.” As for their sectional semifinal game against Glenbard South, the Indians jumped ahead 4-2 in the third as Rylie Jay and Anna Smagacz both drove in two runs with doubles. Lemont added a single run in the fourth before the home team responded with seven runs in the fifth. The Indians attempted to battle their way back in their final at-bat, plating a pair of runs, before ultimately falling short. “We did what we could,” Jay said. “We fought back as much as we could. Both teams were fighting and both teams wanted it.”

Lemont’s Lauren Young delivers a pitch in a sectional semifinal game against Glenbard South June 5. The Indians put up a fight against Glenbard South but lost 10-7.

LEMONT – From the age of eight, Jake Latz and Mike Papierski have been linked together on the baseball field. Over the years, their trek has taken the duo from travel teams to Lemont High School to future college commitments to Louisiana State University. So what were the odds that both would be selected by the same team on the same day in the MLB draft? As it turns out, pretty good. While competing for the Indians in Saturday’s Class 3A Lincoln-Way West Sectional final, Latz and Papierski were selected by the Toronto Blue Jays, Latz in the 11th round with the 324th overall pick and Papierski in the 16th round with the 474th pick. In the process, they became the first Lemont players to be drafted directly out

of high school, according to school officials. “That was really amazing,” Latz said. “First the same high school, then the same college and now drafted by the same team.” For both, the thought of having their name called in the draft and competing at the highest level has been on their minds for a while. “That’s been my dream, to play Major League Baseball,” said Papierski, who was told by teammate Jake Terrazas that he was picked. Latz concurred. “It’s always been my dream growing up, and it has become more of a reality the last couple of years,” Latz said. “It’s a really special moment for me.” Both have excelled on the field this spring for Lemont, which is headed to the state semifinals this weekend for the first time in program history. Going into Monday’s su-

persectional, Latz was 8-0 with a 0.28 ERA, striking out 94 batters while allowing only 25 hits in 50 innings. He upped that mark to 9-0 after yielding an unearned run in 5 1/3 innings against De La Salle. For his high school career, Latz is 16-2 with three saves and 248 strikeouts in 145 innings. Papierski, who went 2 for 3 with a double, triple and two RBIs Monday, entered the contest hitting .396 with 10 doubles, seven home runs, 24 RBIs and 27 walks. “It’s one thing to get a college scholarship,” Lemont coach Brian Storako said, “and it’s a whole other thing to get drafted by a major league team. They’ve worked hard for it and they deserve it and they are moving forward to bigger and better things.” As for the decision whether to head to LSU or sign with the Blue Jays, that is expected to come some time after the high school season wraps up Saturday.

LEMONT – For the second consecutive year, Lemont’s softball team had its sectional hopes derailed by Glenbard South. Walking off the field following a 10-7 loss to the Raiders on June 5, the Indians had no reason to put their heads down. “This team, I’m very proud of them,” Lemont coach Chris Traina said. “They don’t give up, they always keep fighting. They are all competitors and we ended up with a good season.” After a bit of a slow start in a spring that will be remembered for poor weather and postponements, Lemont finished the 2014 campaign with a 23-11 record. “I’m proud of my team,” junior shortstop Rylie Jay said, “and we will come out fighting strong again next year.” The Indians will return a majority of their roster next year aside from starting center fielder Rachel Hall and pitchers Lauren Young and

ALL-AREA MVP

Hard work: Sarah Warren’s hallmark

By JASON ROSSI

Warren’s four favorites

jrossi@shawmedia.com DARIEN – Sarah Warren makes defending look so effortless one would think she was born to do it. But looks are one thing. The Hinsdale South senior said the reality is much different. “Actually, there’s been a lot of work that goes into it,” Warren said. “I played on travel soccer since I was eight, and I was lucky to be with some elite coaches. Coach [Jen] Belmonte and coach [Pat] Wolf have been a great help [at Hinsdale South], and our other defenders, too. I’m the last one back so it looks like I’m making the hero plays, but without them defending and communicating a certain way, I wouldn’t be able to do it. It’s definitely a team effort.” Warren, the all-area team MVP, has a blend of speed, athleticism and instincts which make her a lockdown defender, but it is not the only asset which makes her the player she is. “I think speed helps, but it definitely comes down to knowing the game,” Warren said. “If you have speed but you don’t read the ball, you’re not going to be so much faster that you can catch everyone. So reading the game, which I’ve learned over the years, is probably my biggest asset, but speed is nice to have.” It was Hinsdale South’s defense which helped propel the team to its first state finals berth since 1990, and it all came in Warren’s first season of high school soccer. Prior to this season, she ran track for South in the spring and played club soccer the rest of the year. “This is the best year possible to come on the team. First year on the team and playing at state? You couldn’t ask for

hip-hop a better year,” Warren said. “And it’s not just the placement at state, it’s how much fun we’re having. We’re always laughing and everyone is always positive, so it’s just a great experience overall.” “We didn’t have her until this year, but it’s no surprise what she’s been able to do for us,” Hinsdale South head coach Pat Wolf said. “She’s a great player.” At South, track and soccer took up most of Warren’s free time. She will continue her soccer career at the University of Illinois and pour more of her time into a different secondary sport – speed skating. “I’ve trained [in Milwaukee] the last four or five years. They have a [speed skating] ring at U of I, so I’ll be training there while I play soccer,” she said. “I’ll be speed skating and hopefully making the 2018 Olympics. That’s the goal.” When Warren steps on campus in Champaign, the Illini will be getting more than just a talented soccer player. They also will be getting a player willing to work to improve on the talent she already has. “I want to say [they’re getting] a player that plays with a lot of heart,” she said. “You’re going to go up against girls that are a lot better, but heart always beats skill. That’s my motto. If you work hard out there, no one is going to beat you one-on-one. Have the most heart and you win the game.”

Hinsdale South’s Sarah Warren blocks a kick June 6 in a Class 2A state semifinal game against Normal West. Warren’s ability as a defender helped lead the Hornets to state and helped her garner all-area team MVP honors.


Here’s Suburban Life Media’s 2014 selection With the season in the books, it’s time to celebrate the accomplishments of some of the top

players from locals schools with the 2014 girls soccer all-area team.

Elisabetta Bifero

Alison Cerny

Lily Chetosky

Kelly Fritz

Kim Jerantowski

Gianna Marconi

School: Hinsdale South Year: Senior Impact: A key piece of South’s stingy back line which made life tough on opponents, Bifero was an ace at cutting off attacking runs. With the all-sectional selection along the back line, the Hornets won 13 games by shutout, including four in the postseason as they reached the state finals.

School: Hinsdale Central Year: Senior Impact: A midfielder with a nose for the goal, Cerny was a key piece to the Red Devils’ attack and finished the season with seven goals and four assists as Central won a regional title. The Washington University recruit was an IHSSCA all-sectional selection

School: Hinsdale Central Year: Senior Impact: Central’s defense was tough all season, and Chetosky was a key cog on the back line. The outside defender was part of a unit which allowed just 16 goals all season and held 11 opponents scoreless. The Valparaiso recruit was West Suburban Silver all-conference.

School: Lemont Year: Senior Impact: Described by her coach as the heart and soul of the team, this four-year goalkeeper very rarely was scored upon. An IHSSCA allstate selection, Fritz posted 20 shutouts this spring, and she will continue her soccer career at the University of Illinois-Chicago.

School: Lemont Year: Senior Impact: One of the top players in the state, this senior did it all on the soccer field for the Indians. Helping Lemont to three supersectional berths and two trips to the state semifinals in her four years, the IHSSCA all-state selection scored 28 goals this spring. She will play for Northwestern in the fall.

School: Downers Grove North Year: Senior Impact: The Colorado State recruit put together one of the finest seasons North has seen, both on and off the field. She led the way for the Trojans on the field with 19 goals and 17 assists. Off the field, she was IHSSCA allstate, West Suburban Silver all-conference and Chicago Fire all-state academic.

Honorable mention

Val Melo

Michelle Morefield

Ava Porlier

Nikia Smith

Sarah Warren

School: Lisle Year: Senior Impact: Dubbed Lisle’s best player by head coach Paul Kohorn, Melo had a goal and two assists this season, but she was most valuable on defense. She was the captain of the back row which helped Lisle post 12 shutouts this season. Interstate Eight all-conference for the second straight year, she will play at Augustana.

School: Benet Year: Senior Impact: The key cog in Benet’s midfield as the Redwings transitioned to a more offensive-minded game plan, Morefield was the main distributor on the attack but also was able to finish her own goals. A solid two-way player, Morefield was an IHSSCA all-sectional pick.

School: Downers Grove South Year: Senior Impact: A key presence for the Mustangs, Porlier was equally strong moving forward in the attack or dropping back to defend. Thanks in part to Porlier’s strong two-way play, the Mustangs won their 12th consecutive West Suburban Gold title, going 6-0 and outscoring their conference opponents 30-0.

School: Bolingbrook Year: Senior Impact: On her first three years on the Raiders’ varsity, Smith made her name as a defender. This season, she moved to forward and sparked Bolingbrook’s more offensive-minded attack by leading the team in goals. The Northwestern recruit was IHSSCA all-state and SouthWest Suburban Blue all-conference.

School: Hinsdale South Year: Senior Impact: In her only season of high school soccer, the all-state selection anchored Hinsdale South’s defense and helped guide the Hornets to their first state trophy. Warren’s speed and instincts made it hard for opponents to generate and sustain attacking pressure.
