Riverside’s Speak Quincy Street Distillery opens ‘speakeasy’ tasting bar in Riverside

Derrick Mancini, owner of Quincy Street Distillery in Riverside, mixes up a cocktail at the grand opening of the distillery’s new tasting bar, “the speakeasy.” coloring. Due to the required aging process, much of what’s available at Quincy Street is still in its adolescent phase. The distillery’s Bourbon Spring whiskey is a “baby whiskey” aged for four months in small, charredoak barrels, for example. The flavors are still easy to identify (they blend with time), and the result is a sweet, smokey whiskey with a bit of a kick.

For those who prefer gin or vodka, the distillery has also branched out to include a “railroad gin” and a range of spirits distilled from mead – basically water, honey and botanicals.

The Prairie Sunshine, one of Mancini’s mead spirits, has a flavor profile similar to a white tequila, and thus, it makes one mean mojito.

Which, of course, brings us back to the grand opening of Quincy Street’s tasting bar last

Friday. Because of the bars liquor license, the only alcoholic products that can be sold are made in-house. At the opening, the cocktail selections included gin sours, hot toddies, whiskey sours and old-fashioneds.

But then, some prefer their whiskey neat and with piano music, which was provided by Riverside’s Bob Opel and friends livening up the night with some prohibition-era tunes.

Frank Gangware of Riverside was sipping on some of Quincy Street’s Bourbon Spring whiskey Friday. His son recently went on a trip to the Three Floyds Brewery in Indiana, and Gangware said he could see people doing the same with Quincy Street.

“It’s a very interesting bourbon,” he said with a sip.

“I think it will become one of the better known brands, and,

yes, I think it will bring new people to Riverside.”

The opening brought out locals and travelers from Chicago alike. Karen Boylan of Brookfield came out to the event with her husband on the snowy night looking to try something new.

“I have a whiskey with seltzer – it’s very good,” Boylan said. “I’ve tried [some of the area’s microbrewed beers], but the distillery is something else. It’s cool to have a local distillery.”

Unike a real speakeasy, you wont need a password to get in at the door. But, the phrase, “this one’s on me” certainly wouldn’t hurt.

Quincy Street Distillery is located at 39 E. Quincy St. in Riverside. For more information about products and tours, visit quincystreetdistillery.com.

grown large in the small confines of the tasting bar at Friday night’s grand opening of “the speakeasy.”

“Well, this not only lets people sample [the distillery’s products] but shows them how to mix them.”

Like its whiskeys, Quincy Street Distillery still is relatively young.

Full time, Mancini is a physicist at Argonne National Laboratory, but he’s always been a crafter at heart.

In college, Mancini made his own beer. He’s also previously toyed with the idea of making wine – even going so far as to plan to purchase a vineyard in Michigan for a time before starting Quincy Street.

“It’s something that’s always been of interest to me,” he said. “The desire was planted in me as a young man.”

Quincy Street Distillery was born in Riverside about two years ago. The distillery has been in production for about a year and a half.

According to Mancini, Bourbon whiskey, as most know it, takes two years to mature and mellow in wood barrels as it gradually gets its golden-brown

RIVERSIDE – On a recent, brutally cold night in Riverside, I sat down with Quincy Street Distillery owner Derrick Mancini and sipped a little moonshine.

And yes, while the whiskey was good for taking a bit of the bite out of the air, I was surprised, too, that the “young” whiskey lacked much bite itself.

“Yeah, it’s pretty smooth, right?” Mancini said.

In recent years, the boom of microbreweries across the Chicago area has done much to familiarize many of us with a wide and varied assortment of locally-made ales and lagers. Derrick Mancini, of Riverside, is hoping to help do the same thing with whiskey. Local whiskey distillers are not as common as breweries, yet, but their numbers are steadily growing, he said.

“We’re not the smallest distillery in Illinois,” Mancini said.

“But we’re pretty darn close.”

But, just how do you drink moonshine, one might wonder?

Or, for that matter, how do you drink Quincy Street’s Prairie Sunshine – and what is it?

To help with those questions, Mancini has branched out from the distilling business to open his own “speakeasy” in Riverside. And so, on a not-quite-so-brutally-cold night in Riverside, that’s how I wound up drinking Mancini’s whiskey again, but this time in a cocktail.

“You know, we get the question, ‘what do I do with it,’ ” Mancini said between making cocktails for a crowd that had

Riverside police get new lockers, floor

By NICK SAMEUL msleditorial@shawmedia.com RIVERSIDE – Police officials can look forward to new floor and locker installations in the police department this April.

Both installations, which are funded by the village of Riverside’s 2014 Capital Improvement budget, were approved by board members at their regular meeting Thursday night.

New floors and lockers, which have to be deconstructed, will be installed in both the male and female locker rooms.

The floors cost a total of $3,000 and lockers cost a total of $24,000.

Brookfield awarded for financial reporting SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BROOKFIELD – The village of Brookfield has been honored for an eighth year for excellence in financial reporting, according to a news release from the village.

The village announced Jan. 14 that it was again awarded the Certificate for Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada for its comprehensive annual financial report.

The certificate of achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, according to the release. The village was judged by an impartial panel to have met the standards of the association, including demonstrating constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate the village’s financial story, according to the release.

“Financial stability has become the norm over the last eight years in Brookfield,” Village Manager

Riccardo Ginex said. “It is, however, important to take a moment to realize how focused staff is on ensuring the long range financial health, and disclosure of that financial health, to the residents and taxpayers of our community.”

The village added that work on the village’s 2013 audit has begun. The Village Board also recently approved a five-year Capital Plan, as well as a rolling twoyear budget document. The village’s 2014 Appropriation Ordinance is expected to be approved Jan. 27.

Resident’s ambitious plan approved

By NICK SAMUEL msleditorial@shawmedia.com RIVERSIDE – At the Board of Trustee’s regular meeting on Thursday, a Riverside resident proposed an ambitious plan to trustees to add the village of Riverside to the list of World Heritage Sites.

This plan, approved by board members, was introduced by Paul Stack, former village president.

“The idea came to my wife and I this summer while we were vacationing in Bermuda,” said Stack. “As we were walking, I became curious to know what process was involved in listing property on the World Heritage Site.”

A World Heritage Site must be an outstanding example of a type of building, architectural or technological ensemble, or landscape, which illustrates

RIVERSIDE – Pensions.

Debt. Term limits.

These were the buzz words at a Candidates Night event hosted by the Riverside Township Regular Republican Organization at Riverside Township Hall on Thursday night.

Moderated by Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka – who also was celebrating her birthday and endured two rounds of singing – the event gave Republican candidates five minutes to present their platform and connect with voters, before allowing two questions each from the public.

Speakers at the event included candidates for governor state Sen. Bill Brady, Bruce Rauner, and Treasurer Dan Rutherford; candidates for lieutenant governor; Evelyn Sanguinetti and state Rep. Jil Tracy; candidate for attorney general, Paul Schimpf; candidate for secretary of state, Michael Webster; candidate for treasurer Tom Cross; and Cook County Commissioner Liz Gorman.

Sen. Brady was the first to speak at the event and thanked attendees for their support in his previous attempts to win the governor’s seat. Brady focused on Illinois’ “leadership problems” in his five minutes on the floor and called for the elimination of state income taxes and the Illinois Board of Edu-

cation as he told attendees he was their best chance in the Republican race.

Brady was followed by Bruce Rauner who thanked attendees for their patriotism and support of Republicans.

His goal, he said, was to get Gov. Pat Quinn out of office.

“This is out year,” Rauner told the crowd of about 30 residents from Riverside and the surrounding area.

Rauner said his experience in business and his work overseeing retirement investments made him the best candidate for Republicans. Though he’s not a politician, Rauner said he has worked in politics for a long time, including working with Chicago mayors on education reform.

Rutherford was the final candidate for governor to address the crowd Thursday evening.

“This isn’t my first rodeo,” Rutherford said and added he was the only candidate to have won a statewide race. “You have to be a unique, reasonable Republican to win [in Illinois].”

Rutherford largely focused on his ability to win in a race against Quinn, citing a speculative poll that showed him winning by two points.

“We have to be very serious about who we select as our nominee,” he warned.

Rutherford largely focused on bringing spending in line in Illinois and balancing the state’s budget as the keys to

lieutenant governor running with Kirk Dillard, told the crowd Republicans had a difficult task of putting together the “best team” to beat Quinn in the upcoming election.

Tracy presented herself as a “downstate girl” who could help Dillard – a collar county Republican – win against Quinn in the election. Tracy called herself a job creator, who knew how to bring jobs back to Illinois.

Likewise, Evelyn San-

guinetti, focused her remarks on her humble roots as the daughter of immigrant parents and her early years when “money was tight and things were never easy.”

Although she said she was a product of the “safety net,” she told the crowd that people in Illinois were not looking for handouts but for jobs.

Running with Rauner, Sanguinetti said he appealed to her because he was not a career politician.

On Jan. 12, Cheff was deemed in good health from a local veterinarian and was released to the Midwest Rescue Center for possible adoption and/or home placement.

Brookfield company giving away a free roof

By MATTHEW HENDRICKSON mhendrickson@shawmedia.com BROOKFIELD – Nominations are underway in a contest that will win a lucky homeowner in Cook Country’s western suburbs a new roof – for free.

Brookfield-based Licitra Roofing is sponsoring the national “No Roof Left Behind” initiative locally. Homeowners who want a free roof can go to the company’s website and nominate themselves, or

another homeowner in need of a roof, at www.licitraroofing.com. Nominees should look for the No Roof Left Behind link on the website.

In order to qualify, the nominees must own the home they are living in and be a resident of Cook County. The homeowner must also be current on their mortgage payments.

Nominations will be accepted through July 10 and will be reviewed by a team of local volunteers. Four fi-

nalists in the contest will be selected for public voting.

Following the selection process, the four finalists stories and photos will be displayed on the Licitra Roofting No Roof Left Behind Web page. Between July 11 and Aug. 8, the public will be able to vote on the finalist they feel is most deserving. The winner of the contest will be revealed Aug. 15 online, and an installation ceremony will be held shortly thereafter.

The contest is a way for

the company to give back to the community after 27 years in the roofing industry, according to owner Jon Licitra.

“We just want to be able to give back to a homeowner in need,” Licitra said. “The community has given us support for so many years, it’s what we wanted to do.”

Licitra said he understands how hard it can be to purchase a new roof for a home in this economy.

“We’ve seen people just getting repairs when what

they really need is a new roof but they can’t afford it,” Licitra said.

Licitra Roofing is also teaming up with other community businesses that want to show their support.

“You don’t even have to swing a hammer or even get dirty to help out,” Licitra said. “Just give us a call and we’ll find a place for you.”

For more information, call Licitra Roofing at 708-4854848, or go to www.licitraroofing.com.

RIVERSIDE – A Chicago man faces felony possession charges and may lose his Jeep because of a Riverside police officer’s keen sense of smell Jan. 11.

According to Litroy Bolton police reports, the officer was driving at 11:30 p.m. north on Harlem Avenue when a vehicle traveling southbound with its window open passed, emitting a strong smell of marijuana.

The officer made a U-turn and stopped the vehicle, driven by Litroy Bolton, 27, of the 1800 block of South Avers Avenue, Chicago. Bolton admitted

to smoking a blunt earlier in the evening.

Police said Bolton voluntarily handed over a small amount of marijuana that he had in his jacket.

A subsequent search of Bolton’s 1998 Jeep revealed another bag filled with smaller bags of marijuana, apparently prepared for delivery, police said.

Open alcohol also was found in the vehicle, according to police.

Riverside police charged Bolton with felony possession of marijuana, felony possession with intent to delver, illegal transportation of alcohol and several traffic citations.

Police said they confiscated Bolton’s Jeep and will seek civil asset forfeiture on the vehicle.

Police surrounded the room and arrested Simmons and Adam Avizius, 28, of Brookfield. While searching the room, police discovered a cash register in a crawl space, the report said.

Witnesses were able to identify Avizius as the man who kicked in the door at the business, while Simmons was the look out According to the report.

What you should know about e-book reading at the library Most people know that e-books can be read on an e-reader such as a Nook or a Kindle, and those who own such devices can purchase e-books they want to read for them.

But most people are not aware that they can obtain e-books for their Nooks, Kindles or other e-readers from the Brookfield, North Riverside or Riverside public libraries for free.

COMMUNITY According to the Pew VOICE Research Center, most people Robert don’t know U.S. public libraries provide e-books and other Likfa digital resources, but, in fact, today’s libraries offer their patrons more than ever before.

Libraries continue to offer new services and programs to meet the ever-changing needs and desires of our communities.

According to a 2012 American Library Association study, the number of public libraries offering e-books has doubled in the last five years, with 75 percent now offering the service.

Best-selling and classic e-books are available 24/7 from each library’s website for free with your library card. Audiobooks, music and video also are available. Titles will automatically expire at the end of the lending period, but, there are no late fees.

While the Brookfield, North Riverside, Riverside libraries and other public libraries are working to ensure public access to information for all, libraries in general are facing challenges. According to the American Library Association, some e-book bestsellers are greatly restricted or unavailable to most libraries for purchase and, of the e-books we can buy, the library price often is three or five times more than the consumer price, resulting in fewer copies for library readers to discover.

On the other hand, other publishers – including hundreds of smaller, independent presses and a rising tide of self-published authors – do understand the value of placing books in libraries.

A recent report from Library Journal found that more than half of all library users report purchasing books by an author they discovered through the library.

The ALA has undertaken efforts to bridge the gap between libraries and publishers regarding the availability and pricing of e-books. We support their efforts to help us provide e-books to our patrons.

Robert Likfa is the director of the North Riverside Public Library.

Cheff, a young male pit bull mix, was abandoned by his owner outside in Riverside recently.

A thumbs down to the person or people who recently abandoned their dog, Cheff, in the parking lot of the MacNeal Professional Building in Riverside on a freezing cold day. The owners left a note with the dog’s name and some food but also locked the dog in its cage in the open in 14 degree weather. There are so many great shelters, services and people in the area that leaving the dog abandoned in the cold should not have been the only option.

A thumbs up to Lillian Dudczyk, a 97-year-old Brookfield resident who is still working at Creative Dental in Brookfield – her place of business for the last 46 years. According to Lillian, she wouldn’t have it any other way. She loves interacting with the dental practice patients and gives her something to look forward to. We can only hope at 97 we are still as sharp, energetic and optimistic as Lillian.

No applause for parking garages I shop downtown Elmhurst only when I can find on-street parking. I do not like nor do I feel safe in parking garages. I don’t care how many parking garages Elmhurst builds, I will only shop downtown Elmhurst when I can secure ground-level, open parking. Perhaps Elmhurst should consider tearing down a vacated building such as Plass Appliance to provide more onstreet parking. I am sure the city is worried about loss of revenue from the torn-down building.

However, wouldn’t increased foot traffic to existing stores help prevent more stores from closing in downtown Elmhurst and also entice new stores?

Keep tradition with Party at Kiwanis Park What is Brookfield thinking about switching the Party in the Park to JC/Ehlert Park? They should just cancel the Party in the Park this year for the Fourth of July because Kiwanis Park is under construction, and who would want to go all the way to JC/Ehlert Park for the Party in the Park? It has always been a tradition to have Party in the Park at Kiwanis Park. To have it at JC/Ehlert Park is not the tradition. I think the tradition should be canceled this year and save the money and have it for next Fourth of July.

Friends should help friends stop smoking This message is to all nonsmokers and people who have quit but have friends that still smoke. Please help them stop smoking. My husband promised me 20 years ago he would stop smoking and he hasn’t.

His friends do nothing to help him stop smoking. I’m at my wits’ end. If you guys are such good good friends, then you help your friends quit smoking.

I’m tired of being the one who nags and is so angry with him that he doesn’t quit smoking.

If your friends smoke, start 2014 by helping your friends stop. Don’t leave it to your spouses to be the nagging one.

Please help my husband stop smoking.

Kudos to snowplowing crews I’ve been a Bloomingdale Township resident for more than 30 years, and the Township Highway Department has done an excellent job with my road in the unincorporated area I live in. Every time I look out the window, I see a snowplow going by. I had a doctor appointment the next day after the big storm. I could tell when I drove through the township that the roads were in great condition. My wife and I felt safe. Thank you to the snowplowing crew of Bloomingdale Township Highway Department. Job well done.

I just wanted to say thank you to the wonderful angel who stopped by to help me round up my garbage cans. It was very windy when I got home from work and the garbage cans were blown into the street and down a couple blocks away. She stopped her van and got out and helped me and trudged through the snow to capture my lids. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January and runs all week, which in 2014 is January 26 to February 1. Schools typically observe National Catholic Schools Week with Masses, open house and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members. Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation.

Catholic schools have a long-standing commitment to academic excellence that is rooted in the faith- based mission of Catholic education. The Common Core State Standards in no way compromise the Catholic identity or educational program of a Catholic school.

The Common Core State Standards initiative, begun in 2007, is a state-led, bipartisan effort that is not a requirement for participation in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) or any other federally- funded program, and there are no mandates for any Catholic school to follow any federal rules if they adopt the Common Core.

Adoption of the Common Core is voluntary; individual states, Catholic dioceses and other private schools make their own decisions about whether to adopt the standards.

The Common Core State Standards are a set of high-quality academic expectations that all students should master by the end of each grade level. The standards establish consistent learning goals for all students that focus on preparing them to succeed in college and careers in a globally competitive workplace. The standards define and clearly communicate grade-specific goals and inform parents about learning outcomes, making it easier for parents to collaborate with teachers in helping their children achieve success.

The Common Core State Standards are not a curriculum. A curriculum includes what is taught, when it is taught, how it is taught and what materials to use. None of these items are included in the Common Core State Standards. For Catholic schools, all of these elements will continue to be determined by diocesan superintendents, principals and teachers working to meet the needs of their students.

The Common Core represents a fundamental shift in the teaching and learning process. The Common Core establishes clear, measurable goals for students that assist teachers in making instructional decisions. The standards place emphasis on creativity, critical and analytical thinking and application to curriculum content. The Common Core is not a national curriculum. It guides the way that instruction takes place in each classroom, allowing the Catholic school to develop its own curriculum content.

An excellent Catholic school provides a rigorous academic curriculum that integrates faith and knowledge. As trained professionals, Catholic school administrators and teachers continually seek the best instructional methods for educating students. In the past, dioceses and schools have developed their own standards or adapted state standards for use with their own curriculum. Some will continue to do this.

To assist those incorporating the new standards, the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) and partners in Catholic education established the Common Core Catholic Identity Initiative (CCCII). CCCII provides resources to design and direct the implementation of Common Core within the culture and context of a Catholic school curriculum. Thus Catholic schools can infuse the standards with the faith, principles, values and social justice themes inherent in the mission of a Catholic school.

NCEA, the largest private professional education organization in the world, provides leadership, direction and service to its members through a variety of professional development activities that support whatever teaching and learning activities the individual school chooses implement.

NCEA Position Statement on the Common Core State Standards May 31, 2013

A Dozen Ways to Get the Most Out of National Catholic Schools Week

1. Make it special. Plan the types of events that are the most meaningful to your school community and that celebrate your history and traditions.

Divine Providence Catholic School Join us for an Open House and Registration Event on Sunday, January 26th from 10:30a.m. to 12:30p.m. 

2. But don’t try to do too much. Focus on a few well-organized activities that everyone can enjoy. Recognize what you can do with the resources and budget you have.



4. Pray together. The opportunity to share faith every day is a gift of Catholic education.

5. Serve together. Catholic Schools Week is a good time to highlight the school’s ongoing commitment to service or launch a new service initiative.



6. Learn something together. Break out from the usual subjects to try something new, a good way to instill a lifelong love of learning.

7. Play together. Set aside some time just for fun.

8. Center on students. Remind them to reflect on the value of their Catholic education.



Visit DivineProvidenceSchool.org for more information or call 708-562-2258 2500 Mayfair Ave. Westchester

9. Recognize teachers. Acknowledge the tremendous difference their service makes in the school’s ability to offer high-quality, faith-filled education.

10. Involve families. Schools and families count on each other to reinforce shared values. Thank families for choosing your school and supporting your efforts to educate their children.

11. Single out supporters. Show your appreciation for members of the parish and the community who make your school stronger through their volunteer efforts and support.

12. Extend the feeling throughout the school year. Catholic Schools Week is not the only time to recognize what makes Catholic education special.

Instill that feeling in your school community every day.

Restaurant reviews

Hokkaido turns cuisine into performance art OAKBROOK TERRACE – As we walked into Hokkaido Sushi Hibachi Steak House & Lounge, I was struck by the beauty of a mural that appeared 3D. Inside the restaurant that bears the name of Japan’s second largest island, we instantly were greeted by a hostess who asked whether we preferred to sit at the bar or hibachi.

Feeling adventurous, we said yes to the hibachi, which Hokkaido’s website terms a smokeless cooking station.

As she led us through the restaurant, I noticed we were walking on a clear glass floor with fish swimming underneath – a delight for any age (it reminded me of a family trip to Silver Springs, Fla., where we floated in glass-bottom boats). The decor is a deft blend of traditional and modern designs, including Oriental illustrations and motifs with an array of colorful lighting.

In a separate room were four tables with family-style seating and two hibachi grills each. We were seated with a grandmother and her granddaughter from Glen Ellyn.

I ordered the hibachi combination of Hokkaido chicken and shrimp, while my companion chose a sirloin steak and chicken combo.

Hokkaido offers different styles of preparation, such as three ways to prepare your shrimp: golden (with egg), hibachi (lightly seasoned) or garlic. Among side dishes are chicken soup, salad, mixed green vegetables and steamed rice.

The hibachi experience is as much a performance as a meal, with the chef twirling his metal spatula and tapping out sound effects on seasoning containers and the grill.

Each ingredient becomes a character in the play, with the chef acting as narrator and band.

I opted to substitute chicken soup for miso soup as overture. Made with kelp, bits of tofu and green onion, it was

For the finale, the chef took a piece of untouched chicken from my plate, cut it into smaller pieces he made dance on the grill, and then flipped a piece into my mouth from his spatula.

“He’s played really well for a sophomore,” RB coach Tom McCloskey said of Jackson. “Coming in and playing on the varsity level as a sophomore is always tough. He’s a tremendously hard worker and he cares a lot.”

The Bulldogs will hope to keep the winning ways going with a game at Elmwood Park on Friday and a trip back to Whitney Young on Saturday for a game against Westinghouse.

“We’re definitely getting better every game,” said Kincanon, who is hopeful to return this weekend. “I feel like we’re growing as a team.

RIVERSIDE – Riverside Brookfield’s boys basketball team didn’t have the showing it envisioned at the Jack Tosh Holiday Classic, but the Bulldogs have bounced back well.

RB won two games over the weekend to extend its winning streak to four games since the start of 2014.

The Bulldogs won at Ridgewood, always a tough place to play, even if the Rebels are down compared to their recent standards, and then picked up a nonconference win over Englewood on Saturday.

Senior guard Will Kincanon led RB with 25 points, going 18-for-20 from the free throw line, in Friday’s 71-68 win in Norridge.

In last year’s game at Ridgewood, Kincanon also led the Bulldogs to a narrow 61-60 win with 21 points.

“They always give us a tough game,” Kincanon said.

“It seems like they always shoot the ball well against us.

I just feel like I need to step my game up every time we go there. It was a fun atmosphere.”

The Rebels burst out to a 9-0 lead, but RB recovered to take a 32-28 lead into halftime. The Bulldogs led by seven in the fourth quarter before Ridgewood made one final comeback bid that ultimately came up short.

Jack VandeMerkt had 19 points and sophomore point guard Daniko Jackson scored 10.

The next day, RB headed to Whitney Young for a shootout game against Englewood. Kincanon sat out after hyperextending his knee in the fourth quarter against Ridgewood, but the Bulldogs didn’t miss a beat.

Jackson had one of his best varsity games with a 21-point

Tough tourneys key to wrestling success

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com Tournaments are a staple of wrestling team’s schedules.

The wrestlers compete in multiple matches per day, sometimes over the course of two days, and dozens of schools flock to host sites in search of matches, tough competition and match experience.

But why do they all do it?

“The tournaments are always good because even if you’re in a 16-team tournament, if you’re the top guy you’re still going to wrestle

four times if you don’t get a bye in the first round,” Morton coach Steve Eckert said.

The ability to see different teams and face multiple opponents in a short time period is something that no dual meet or practice can replicate. Also, they help wrestlers get used to the tournament format that they will see at regionals and sectionals.

It’s not just the physical side of wrestling multiple times in a day with little time to prepare for a specific opponent that is beneficial. Wrestlers are allowed up to five matches in a day, but the men-

Riverside Brookfield’s Zach Colvin wrestles Saturday at 170 pounds at Lisle’s Steve Melichar Invite. Colvin and the Bulldogs will have a tough tournament test at Oak Park-River Forest this weekend. tal strain of staying prepared throughout the day is another test on the grapplers.

“Sometimes it’s more the mental part of it because you’re there all day and you may not wrestle for an hour and a half,” Eckert said.

“That’s what you got to do so that when regionals, sectionals and state comes you’re prepared for that. In duals, you wrestle one time and you’re done.”

One of the biggest tournaments in the area is Saturday at Oak Park-River Forest, the Huskie Varsity Invitational.

Lyons Township, Morton and Riverside Brookfield will all be there facing competition

that not only comes from the Chicago area but from all over the Midwest.

RB hadn’t competed in the tournament until this year.

First-year coach Mike Boyd came to RB after being an assistant at OPRF and is trying to bring the philosophies of that successful program to the Bulldogs’ program.

It will be a major test for all three schools, but LT is used to facing tough competition. The Lions have a very tough tournament schedule that has already included Barrington’s 23-team Moore/ Prettyman Wrestling Invitational on Nov. 29 and 30 and Palatine’s 32-team Berman

Holiday Wrestling Classic on Dec. 27 and 28.

Eckert prefers to ease his Mustangs into the season before jumping into the deep end of high-level tournaments.

“For me, I like the progression of tournaments for us,” Eckert said. “At the beginning we try to get tournaments that all of our guys can get some kind of success. It does no good to bring all your guys to a tournament and only one or two guys can do anything. For me, personally, especially early in the season, I like to find a tourney that all my guys can get some wins and some confidence and they get harder as they go.”

Several area wrestlers begin to pull away from the pack SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA With the wrestling state tournament series just around the corner, the favorites for postseason success from the area have emerged.

High school hockey teams prep for playoff runs

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com The high school hockey season has been going since late September, and the postseason will begin in late February, continue through March and culminate in the Illinois State High School Hockey Championships Tournament finals March 20. Here’s a look at how some of the local boys hockey teams have done so far this season.

Lyons Township Division: IHSHL West Coach: Ricky Reznick Season update: The Lions are 5-16-0-3 in the IHSHL West with just two games left in the regular season. Senior

forward Hugh Meehan leads the team with 16 goals and nine assists in league games.

Randall Funk (five goals, eight assists) and Hunter Wilkinson (six goals, five assists) also have double digit points in the league play.

Sophomore Jacob Conger has shown some potential by scoring six goals in 22 league games, which is tied for second best on the team.

Seniors Alexander Hernandez and Paolo Delfini have shared time in goal.

While LT is right behind rival Hinsdale Central in the standings, the Red Devils beat the Lions 8-4 in the teams’ Winter Classic at Cicero’s Bobby Hull Community Ice Rink on Dec. 20.

Fenwick Division: Chicago Catholic Hockey League Coach: Tim Bossy Season update: The Friars have had one of the premier programs in the state for years and play a tough schedule.

The Chicago Catholic Hockey League provides top competition, and the Friars have also played tournaments against other top teams from the state, including defending state champion New Trier, Stevenson and Glenbrook North.

This season, Fenwick has been up and down. As of Jan. 17 the Friars are 9-6-0-1 in the CCHL, sitting squarely in the middle of the 10-team league.

Ben Kohen is the team’s leading scorer despite missing

some time with a shoulder injury. He has 12 goals and 14 assists in CCHL games to rank in the top 10 in the league.

Mackenzie Sinnott (eight goals, 11 assists) and Michael Doherty (seven goals, nine assists) have also been among the team’s leaders offensively.

Barker Paul and Jonathan Paunove have split most of the time between the pipes.

Nazareth/RB/Guerin/IC Division: IHSHL Suburban Coach: Derek Gordon Season update: The combined team, which features players from Nazareth, Guerin, Riverside Brookfield and IC Catholic, is 6-6 in the Suburban Division of the IHSHL. This is the third season RB

has joined the team, and it has allowed the program to field both varsity and JV teams.

Four players from the team recently competed in the conference’s all-star game: Pat Boniecki and Blake Gordon from Nazareth, Grant Hennessy from IC and Matthew Gale from Guerin. Goaltender Dominik Slezak and RB’s Michael Helf have also been key contributors.

The team has endured a number of one-goal games in league play, making for competitive play.

“It’s been a pleasure to watch, and it’s been quite a chore coaching the games,” coach Derek Gordon said with a laugh. “There’s constantly intense games and it’s fun.”

Robert Kicmal captured the individual title with a pinfall of 1,367, and the Lions won the team title at the Hinsdale South regional with a score of 6,269.

Will the draft fit Chicago Bears’ needs?

With the week off before the Super Bowl, all eyes are on the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, – yeah, sure – the East-West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., this weekend, it’s time to begin to focus on this year’s NFL College Draft.

Specifically, will the best talent available at the time the Bears select in each round of the draft fit the Bears’ needs?

Here is a given. Teams that skip the best players available when it’s their turn to draft to take a lesser prospect to fill an area of need fail to become good football teams.

Phil Emery and Marc Trestman committed at their season-ending press conference to get younger on defense.

That happens by drafting well.

Lance Briggs and Tim Jennings will be back, and Zack Bowman and Kelvin Hayden will be economical options to resign as well. We can also assume the Bears plan to continue to try and develop Jonathan Bostic and Khaseem Greene, and it seems likely Shea

Hub Arkush

McClellin may end up spending some time at linebacker, too. So the Bears get younger on defense by drafting defensive linemen and safeties.

Offensively, the Bears are in the best shape they’ve been in decades but need depth at running back and tight end.

That may wait, but the development of a young quarterback shouldn’t.

I have no idea if the prospects I’m about to introduce you to interest the Bears or not, but I think the next few months of scouting will prove they should.

Two prospects who might fit with Marc Trestman and, if the Bears get very lucky, could be available in the fourth round but should be in the third are A.J. McCarron of Alabama and Jim-

Masterbrand Cabinetry

my Garoppolo of Eastern Illinois.

McCarron reminds me of a full-sized Russell Wilson, and Garoppolo stole the show at the Shrine Game and is about to become this year’s fast riser at the Senior Bowl and NFL Scouting Combine.

This is not a good year to need a true pass-rushing defensive end with the 14th pick in the first round. Only a truly dramatic and expensive move will get the Bears in position for Jadeveon Clowney of South Carolina, and that’s not going to happen.

Get to know Kony Ealy of Missouri.

At 6’ 5”, 275 pounds, he is an accomplished, NFL-ready pass rusher who will probably be taken several picks in front of the Bears. If he’s not...Kareem Martin out of North Carolina could be an interesting option if he’s still available in the third or fourth round.

Defensive tackle will be one of the deepest positions in the draft, but will the Bears be sticking with Lovie Smith’s base Tampa Two, which requires a three-technique, or will they

be shopping for larger, space-eating two gap players.

The best three technique prospect is Timmy Jernigan of Florida State, but he’s no where near good enough to merit a pick higher than 20-to-25. Notre Dame’s Louis Nix is the best defensive tackle in the draft and will almost certainly be a top 10 pick, maybe top five.

His teammate, Stephon Tuitt and Minnesota’s Ra’Shede Hageman are the next best prospects and could fit at 14, but at 6’6”, 310 to 315 pounds each, both are best suited to be five technique ends in a 3 – 4 scheme.

At safety, Alabama’s Hasean Clinton-Dix is the prize of the draft and could just be a fit with the Bears at 14.

Second, third and fourth round options are Deone Bucannon of Washington State, Louisville’s Calvin Pryor and Jimmie Ward of Northern Illinois.

There are a ton of 40-yard dashes and agility drills to run between now and the draft, but these are a few of the young men worth keeping an eye on.

passing game.

Rolling Meadows product and Eastern Illinois alumnus Jimmy Garoppolo shined at the East-West Shrine game and got a late invite to go to Mobile. This will be a stiffer test for Garoppolo to prove he has the arm strength, accuracy and moxie to be an NFL quarterback.

Other local college prospects in Mobile are Northwestern’s Kain Colter, who will play wide receiver, and Illinois linebacker Jonathan Brown.

Now, from a Bears perspective …

Unfortunately, general manager Phil Emery and coach Marc Trestman will not be available to talk to the media, so any questions about defensive coordinator Mel

Tucker and the defense will have to wait until the NFL Scouting Combine.

Emery made it clear this draft will be defense-heavy.

With potentially two starting safety positions to fill, the Bears will be looking for athletes who can come up and stop the run, cover tight ends and be a ball-hawking center fielder. Terrence Brooks (Florida State), Deone Bucannon (Washington State) and Ahmad Dixon (Baylor) are expected to be some of the top players in the back end in Mobile.

The Bears’ Henry Melton, Nate Collins and Jeremiah Ratliff are set to hit free agency, so watch the defensive tackle position.

Top prospects Aaron Donald (Pittsburgh), DaQuan Jones

(Penn State) and Will Sutton (Arizona State) will be at the Senior Bowl. The ability for a D-tackle to penetrate, maybe more so than plug the run gap, is important for the Bears’ defense.

Of course, defensive end, linebacker and cornerback are all fair game, too, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Bears take a late-round quarterback. Plus, the QBs always steal the show in Mobile.

Yes, the Senior Bowl is just one piece to the puzzle, but keep in mind what last year’s first-round pick, Kyle Long, tweeted Saturday morning: “It’s crazy Senior Bowl is right around the corner, had I not been invited to that I wouldn’t be a Bear most likely!”

The moon takes one month to orbit the Earth, and while it is moving, we can look up into the sky and tell where it is in its orbit by the shape it presents, whether crescent, half or full. The moon is often spoken of in terms of waxing and waning.
