Social Security revenue shouldn’t fund other items

Process keeps best teachers in classrooms In recent years, Illinois lawmakers have passed two pieces of legislation — 2010’s Performance Evaluation Reform Act and 2011’s Education Reform Act (Senate Bill 7) — that significantly impact many facets of the state’s public schools, including teacher evaluation.

Effective this year, PERA mandates the use of four categories to determine a teacher’s summative rating: Excellent, Proficient, Needs Improvement and Unsatisfactory. Most school districts, including Lemont High School District 210, previously used a three-tier rating system. A committee of district administrators and faculty worked together last spring to modify our existing evaluation instrument to adhere to PERA requirements.

School personnel who serve as evaluators must be “prequalified” in order to conduct evaluations. Over the summer and fall, I joined our principal, assistant principals and department chairs in completing this challenging, mandatory and multi-layered training facilitated by the Illinois State Board of Education.

The state committee charged with PERA implementation has chosen the Danielson Framework for Teaching as the state model for teacher evaluation.

Administrators and faculty are working collaboratively to define and formalize the procedural aspects of this new

Lemont wants to build a $21 million sports complex using general obligation bonds. While they were within the limits of the law in discussing land acquisition issues in closed sessions, there are many aspects of this project that would have benefited from public input. A public hearing will be held Feb. 11. But something this major should have been hashed out with residents long before now.

On Jan. 23, Lemont staff members finished moving back into Village Hall. The village started renovating the building in June.

Improvements included renovating the foyer, technology enhancements, new tuckpointing, installation of a new roof, plumbing improvements, window replacement and replacement of the parking lot. Nice work.

To the Editor: Before the election, I saw bumper stickers saying, “Vote Democratic to protect Social Security.” President Obama gave college students a deal to get votes.

After the election, Obama wants to decrease Social Security increases. I think what I earned comes first over student grants, welfare and loans. The irony is now I gave money to AARP to petition Obama and Democrats to protect Social Security.

College student subsidies are only one of the many new ways for the government to spend money since the Great Society (the start to climb to the top of where the fiscal cliff is at). The next big crash is going to be unpaid student loans.

I started college at a junior college because it was cheaper.

I finished college at a different school — but in my area — because it was cheaper to live at home instead of a dormitory and go to school and work at the same time.

plans so the worker would have control of what is being done with the pension. For example like 50 percent gold, 50 percent treasury bonds with an insurance company or whatever. The Democrats said that would not be safe.

Also, the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare wanted to protect Social Security from Wall Street incompetence. Now I am subject to government incompetence.

The government uses Social Security payroll deductions to run the government; it is not put into a separate fund to earn interest.

So, my Social Security is competing with food stamps, college subsidies and much more.

About 40 years ago, the government made the Social Security a welfare office. People who do not have Social Security points go there to get supplementary security pensions; they may immigrants, disabled and people on welfare. I have no objection to supplemental security, but welfare does not belong in a Social Security office.

Question 1: Is the government using Social Security funds to run the overhead of a welfare office (publications, salaries, etc.)?

using Social Security funds for supplementary security pensions?

Where are AARP and NCPSSM? Government employees have a Grade A plan, and Social Security employees have a Grade D plan.

I could list 14 reasons for this.

Just one reason is government employees can retire sooner with more money and insurance.

Some time ago, the government wanted to put government employees in Social Security, which would have been the greatest rip-off of the century. The government employees’ union ran a radio ad that said, “We know there is something wrong with Social Security, but putting us into Social Security would not help.”

I disagreed because misery loves company. Where were AARP and NCPSSM? The government can give general revenue to foreign aid, welfare and government employees but not Social Security. The more you put into Social Security, the lower the rate of return on your investment.

This is the opposite of most investments: The more you put in, the higher the rate of return (percentage rate). If I am wrong about any of the above, let me know.

evaluation process, which will be utilized beginning with the 2013-14 school year.

Senate Bill 7 links teachers’ performance ratings to reduction-in-force procedures by placing teachers into one of four groups depending on the rating received. For example, a rating of Excellent places a teacher in RIF Group 4, while a Proficient rating places a teacher in RIF Group 3.

Honorable dismissals occur

by RIF group in numerical sequence. This significantly reduces the impact of tenure status and seniority on personnel reductions, and allows school districts to ensure teachers with the highest performance evaluation ratings — regardless of length of service — remain in the classroom.

PERA requires school districts to implement a teacher evaluation framework that

is research based, aligned with professional teaching standards and incorporates student growth. By August, the first two expectations will be checked off the list.

Our next hurdle will be challenging: incorporating student growth into the teacher evaluation process. Our implementation date of 2016 may be years away, but that doesn’t mean we’ll wait until then to begin sizing up that hurdle.

Next year, a joint committee of administrators and teachers will begin working together to determine how to incorporate student growth into teachers’ summative ratings. By September 2016, Lemont High School teachers will be assessed not only on classroom observations but also by their students’ academic progress.

Stepping up her game Erin Gentile of Downers Grove to compete at World Irish Dancing Championships

By ALLISON HORNE msleditorial@shawmedia.com Seventeen-year-old Erin Gentile has come a long way since she was 8 and fell in love with an Irish dancer’s sparkly dress on stage. Now, the Downers Grove South High School junior is wearing a sparkly dress of her own, and is headed to the World Irish Dancing Championships — for the fourth time.

Gentile has been dancing for nine years with the Trinity Academy of Irish Dance, where she has emerged as one of the most promising competitors. At the contests, dancers first compete in a pair for two rounds, and if the judges like what they see, dancers are called back to perform solo. To qualify for the World Championships, one must place in the top 10 percent at regionals or nationals. This year, Gentile placed 21st at regionals, and automatically qualified for the World Championships, which will be held in Boston the last week of March.

Last year, Gentile placed in the top 100 at the World Championships, but this year, she’s got her sights set a little bit higher.

What are your goals?

This year, it’s to be in the top 50.

You do the first two rounds with other people, and if the judges like what they see, they recall you, and you’re in the top third, so you get to do a round by yourself. I’ve made it to the top third in every competition except at the World Championships.

I’m the kind of person that believes in hard work — I didn’t start with that much actual talent, but I have worked up to where I am.

What kind of work goes into preparing for something like that?

What we do for the World Championships is usually classes four days a week, and then I try to practice an hour and a half every day on my own that I don’t have practice.

It seems like a lot, but I don’t mind it. I also run at Downers South. It’s a lot, but I enjoy everything.

Where do you see yourself taking Irish dancing?

It’s my passion and I’ve loved it since I started and I don’t want to stop — even if it’s not competing. I love performances and I love going to other countries and performing in other cultures. I don’t know what my schedule will be like, but I What are you most looking want to keep up with performances forward to at the and traveling. I teach dance too at World Championships?

February is Pet Dental Health Month!

Animal Care and Reproductive Services, LLC takes your dog’s and cat’s teeth very seriously! Did you know that dogs and cats should not have “doggie” or “kitty” breath? Did you know that bad breath can be a sign of gingivitis and other problems with your animal’s oral health?

A healthy mouth is important to maintain a healthy dog or cat. When your pet’s teeth accumulate a lot of tartar, the tarter provides a perfect place for bacteria to grow. As the bacteria on your pet’s teeth and gums grow, the gums become irritated and they allow the bacteria to get into your pet’s body through the gaps created between the gums and teeth, just like in people! Once that gross bacteria has gained entrance into your pet’s body, it can settle in various organs, like the heart or the kidney, and cause greater problems with your pet’s health. Because of this, dental health is especially important in older pets, or pets with other health concerns.

Daily brushing will help reduce tartar and bacterial accumulation and gingivitis, however, like people, your pet needs a trip to his or her dentist for a thorough teeth and gum cleaning that brushing cannot provide. ACRS offers full dental health services. We have a state of the art ultrasonic dental scaler, much like your dentist uses on you. We follow each scaling with a thorough polishing and then finish your pet’s dental cleaning with a special sealant to help prevent accumulation of tartar and harmful bacteria. Schedule an appointment today so we can check your pet’s teeth and let you know if it is time for your dog or cat to have a dental cleaning!

If you schedule an exam for February 11, 2013, Dental Health Check-up Day, you and your pet will receive a free dental health gift with the exam*! *while supplies last

Bring in this coupon to receive $10.00 OFF your pet’s dental exam!

Hosting regional key for Lemont girls with highly touted Spartans in the mix

Lemont’s Jenny Hennig defends in the paint during a game against Reavis last month.

Receiving the No. 14 seed at the Oswego sectional, the best news for Lemont girls basketball is that it gets to host a regional.

The squad opens up with No. 20 Plainfield South, a squad with single-digit victories this season.

“It is nice (to be hosting),” said Lemont coach Bill Bozue. “It’s very convenient, we don’t Lemont have to travel. And we have familiar sights as far Class: 4A as shooting and the sur- Sectional seed: roundings. It is a definite No. 14 plus.”

Regional: Lemont If Lemont does get by Regional opener: Plainfield South, the team will have a tall order in 6 p.m. Monday vs. the semifinals with No. 4 No. 20 Plainfield Romeoville awaiting the South victor. The Indians lost to the Spartans by 13 in the third game of the season.

“They are very good,” Bozue said. “They are tough inside and outside. They have people who shoot the three, and inside, they have a tremendous post player who does post moves with either hand. And judging by the results and the teams they are playing, I think they have made a lot of improvements later in the year.”

The Indians, who are 13-12 on the season and 7-5 in the South Suburban Blue Conference, wrap up the regular season on Friday with a matchup against T.F. North.

The squad could get a boost in the postseason by the return of Kelsey Motto, who was leading the team in scoring with 11 points per game before going down with a knee injury in early December. The senior was expected to resume practicing this week.

In her absence, Courtney Toth stepped up and is now averaging 10 points and 6.8 rebounds per outing. Kim Jerantowski is at 9 ppg while topping Lemont with 66 steals.

“The key for us is not making turnovers,” Bozue added. “The last time out, in the Tinley Park game, we only had four turnovers for the game and that was tremendous. Against Hillcrest, at the half, we only had five turnovers.

“If we can continue to do that, we can keep ourselves in games with even the good teams.

Defensive rebounding is another key.”

after the last couple of years they’ve had.”

Contests against Reavis, which is in first in the other division of the South Suburban Conference, nonconference-foe Glenbard South and SSC Blue leader Hillcrest also remain.

“This stretch will show us where we are heading into the playoffs,” the coach said.

The Indians are coming off an 8063 win over Tinley Park Friday. Juozas Balciunas led all scorers with 30 points while also adding six assists and four steals. Joey Hehir added 17 points and three assists while Jake Terrazas hauled down 10 rebounds.

“I thought we played well,” Runaas said. “Juozas played maybe his best game and when you say he played his best game, that means something.

“I think we are playing really well right now. I don’t want to peak right now but we want to keep going up.

That is what we’ve talked about, just keep getting better and better.”

LEM • Friday, February 8, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Reporter/Met

Sitting with a current record of 192, there is no debating that Lemont’s boys basketball team is extremely talented.

But now, over the final five games of the regular season, the Indians will get to see just how good they are.

The crucial final stretch, which will decide the South Suburban Blue conference race, begins with a matchup against T.F. North on Friday.

“We are currently tied for second with them with one loss (Hillcrest is undefeated),” said Lemont coach Rick Runaas. “This is our chance to stay in the hunt for the conference championship, and theirs too. If they beat us, they have a chance if we beat Hillcrest.”

Matching up against the big and physical Meteors will pose a challenge.

“We have to be mentally tough,” the coach said, “and not let them get in our heads and dominate the game physically.”

Lemont’s home finale follows on Tuesday against T.F. South.

“They are right behind us and T.F. North, and last Friday, T.F. North beat them by two,” Runaas said. “It is senior night, our last home game.

Juozas (Balciunas) and Joey (Hehir) were talking about it, that it was going to be their last game ever at Lemont. That means something to them

The Lemont cheerleading team has already built an impressive legacy, and first-year head coach Dave Erlenbaugh was just looking to continue that.

Taking over the program after spending the last two years as an assistant, Erlenbaugh watched as the Indians finished second in the medium team division at the state meet last weekend.

“We are the only cheer program in the state since the IHSA made it a varsity sport that has been on the podium every year,” the coach said.

Lemont posted the top score

‘They came back and had the most incredible performance I could hope for.’

Dave Erlenbaugh First-year Lemont head coach of 89.66 in the prelims Friday to lead the field, and then backed that up with a 90.80 in Saturday’s finals. But the Indians were edged out by the 90.92 of Columbia, which moved up to the medium division after winning three straight titles in the small division.

“I couldn’t have been more happy,” Erlenbaugh said.

“Those were the two best performances we’ve given all year.

Friday at warm-ups, they had an energy that was palpable in the room. I talked to them after warm-ups and said if you take that out to the competition floor, nobody will stand in your way and they did.

“Saturday at the finals, their warm-up was even better than Friday’s and they came back and had the most incredible performance I could hope for.”

This was the program’s third runner-up trophy to go along with three consecutive state titles (2009 to 2011) and a pair of third-place finishes.

“Aside from the talent we have coming in every year,” the coach said, “the support

of the athletic department and school administration is an absolute key to the success of the program. And a lot of it has to do with a phenomenal group of parents. They will volunteer for anything. We do a lot of fundraisers throughout the course of the year and the parents basically take on that.”

A portion of credit must go to Erlenbaugh’s son Jared, who did the choreography for the Indians this year. A former cheerleader at Kentucky, he also worked with the Dwight (small division), Conant (large) and Grant (co-ed) teams that finished third or higher in their respective divisions.

Last but not least are the athletes themselves. The Indians

roster included seniors Brittany Cantarino, Molly Finnelly, Stefanie Guerrero and Katie Howe; juniors Maddy Detres, Emily Durham, Kelsey Tate, Gianna Turek, DJ Wohead, Gia Letizia, Miranda Neumann, Rebecca Peraino and Lainey Saucedo; sophomores Elly Lambert, Stephanie Markley, Brianna Olkiewicz, Samantha Palumbo, Sammy Walus and Alyssa Bakovich; and freshmen Nicole Clausius and Katelyn Papierski. Jenna Bumber and Bree Grady were also assistant coaches.

“We had great captains this year,” Erlenbaugh said. “We had a great senior team. We had a lot of strong leadership from the athletes themselves.”

Giatras, Devitt advance to wrestling sectionals

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com After losing in the semifinals at regionals Saturday, Mike Devitt’s season was on the brink of extinction as he faced a 5-0 deficit in the wrestlebacks.

But Lemont’s 220-pounder scored seven unanswered points to defeat Robert Love of Rich Central during the Class 2A Tinley Park regional. The senior then pinned Ray Rodriguez of Lincoln-Way West in the third-place match to qualify for this weekend’s Rich East individual sectional.

“He wrestled pretty well,” said Lemont coach John St. Clair. “He got pinned by the kid from Oak Forest (Alec Brown) the week before and this time, he wrestled him tough. He’s making progress.

“His bracket at the sectional is really tough. But Mike turned it on last year at this time and hopefully he can do it again.”

Devitt will be joined at the sectional by fellow senior Chris Giatras, who dominated the 182-pound weight class at the regional.

Giatras notched a pair of second-period pins before

knocking off Carleto Jackson of Rich East 11-1 in the championship match to improve to 37-1 on the winter.

“He had a good first couple of matches,” St. Clair said, “and then in the final match, he went up against a real tough kid from Rich East, who was ranked as one of the top 182-pounders in the state. He did a real good job against one of the tougher kids.

“Chris got started a little late because they did so well in football. He did well at the beginning but he has gotten better as the weeks go by. He is peaking at the right time.”

The senior will have his work cut out for him at the sectional.

“There is an undefeated kid from Nazareth (Aeneas White) on his side of the bracket,” St. Clair said. “And the sectional has a lot of city schools so there are definitely some kids we haven’t heard a

As a team, Lemont fin-

ished eighth at the regional with 59 points.

“We were hoping for a couple more kids to make it through but that didn’t

work out,” St. Clair added.

“Our regional was tough.

We didn’t get as many kids out as we hoped but I’m glad we got the two we did.”

Sophomore emerges from state’s toughest sectional

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com When Mark Hollatz said that his Lemont girls bowling team was being sent to the toughest sectional in the state, rest assured the Indians coach wasn’t exaggerating.

Despite posting a schoolrecord score of 5,902 at Saturday’s Plainfield North sectional, Lemont did not qualify for the state meet as a team after finishing third behind Oswego East and Waubonsie Valley.

Those two teams posted the top scores in Illinois with a 6,582 and 6,530, respectively.

To put it in perspective, Lemont’s score would have

captured first place in seven of the 12 sectionals and second in three others.

“We knew going in, those two Kyra were the best in Udziela the state,” said Hollatz, who coached the Indians to a third-place state trophy in 2003-04. “All year long, they were always 1-2 in the tournaments. We put up as best of a fight as we would.

“It’s just a shame that the best teams aren’t downstate.

No question, we would have finished in the top 10 at state.

1,310 Pin total for Lemont sophomore Kyra Udziela at the Plainfield North sectional, a score that qualified her for this weekend’s state meet Probably six other teams at our sectional could say the same thing.”

All was not lost for Lemont, though, as the team will be represented at the state meet by sophomore Kyra Udziela, who posted a six-game score of 1,310. She rolled a 261 and 258 in her final two games.

“She was surprised, she had no idea,” Hollatz said.

“If her last two games were a 240, she wouldn’t have made it. She also had another 258 in there. Especially being a sophomore, she is really excited. Hopefully it will be a good kickstart for next year.

The goal is to make Day 2.

That would be good and then you see what happens.”

The Indians go out knowing they saved their best for last.

“I’m extremely happy,” the coach said. “We had four games over 1,000. That was our best tournament of the year. Every tournament the last couple of months we’ve been getting better and better. Conference was our best

tournament all year and this beat that by 400 pins.”

Amanda Kolar, one of five seniors to compete at the sectional for the Indians, posted the team’s second best score with a 1,267. Rounding out the list of seniors is Nora Collins (1,172), Lizzy Melvin (1,101), Nina Moeller and Rachel Margalus.

“When that group came in as freshmen, we knew they would be good,” Hollatz said.

“The tough part is seeing them leave. Saturday was kind of bittersweet. We bowled so well but I will miss them all.

Hopefully we can rebuild.”

Stop texting while driving To help people break the habit of texting and driving, technology companies are coming up with solutions. For instance, Xperia SmartTags by Sony can be put on a dashboard or a set of car keys and allow you to change your phone’s settings for driving by touching your NFC-enabled smartphone to the tag.

Smartphone applications can make this process even easier.

When paired with AT&T’s Drive Mode app, you can automatically disable your phone’s texting and calling capability. The app can be programmed to include an automatic message that’s sent to anyone who texts you while you’re behind the wheel.

CAR Q&A

Opening a shop Q: I am opening a three-bay repair shop and would like your opinion on companies that provide service repair information.

A: The first step is to listen to the customer and understand they are in your shop because they have a vehicle problem or just need routine service. I rely on Identifix and Alldata information services. The initial cost may scare you, but keep in mind both will save a lot of time, which equals to a lot of money saved.

More Nash-Kelvinator memories Q: Did a Nash ever pace the Indy 500? I say yes; my retired friends here at the nursing home say no.

We are all car crazy and racing fans. Can you tell us more about Nash and that era of the automobile? Elwood K., Worchester, Mass.

A: Elwood, you win!

Nash was the official pace car of the Indy 500 in 1947 and was driven by George W. Mason, president of Nash-Kelvinator. Mason was a marketing genius who used Nash automobiles in the “Superman” TV series, too.

As I’ve touched on in the past, Kelvinator and Nash formed a corporate merger in 1937 when Charles Nash, then CEO and president of Nash Motors, merged his company with George W. Mason’s Kelvinator Corp., known for refrigeration.

Mason thus began a major marketing campaign that to this day is respected as novel and very effective.

Between school, activities, work and life, there are nights the dinner decision doesn’t happen until the last possible minute.

Fortunately, the answer is probably right in your pantry — canned food.

Items for a well-stocked “cantry”: � Canned vegetables (peas, corn, carrots, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, spinach) � Canned tomatoes (sauce, paste, diced, crushed, whole) � Canned beans (black, pinto, garbanzo, navy) � Canned fruit (pears, pineapple, peaches) � Canned seafood (salmon, shrimp, tuna) � Canned flavored beans (baked, refried, seasoned) � Canned broth � Condensed soups � Canned meat (chicken, turkey, roast beef )

Mark Busch – mbusch@shawmedia.com

New Lemont Junior Woman’s Club president Jill McAndrews stands next to the Safety Village mural in Lemont Wednesday. This is the club’s 20th anniversary of service to the community and one of the main staples of the LJWC is their work with Safety Village.

Lemont Junior Woman’s Club president has big plans for group’s 20th year LEMONT — Jill McAndrews joined the Lemont Junior Woman’s Club seven years ago as an outlet to meet new friends and to volunteer her time for a good cause. Today, she is the new club president and helping ring in the 20th anniversary of the organization.

“I feel lucky to be president at this time,” McAndrews said. “The theme I chose this year is ‘The Tree’. It’s grounded, growing and giving. The grounded speaks to the fact that we have been around for 20 years, the growing is each person individually can grow indefinitely and giving is at the heart of what we do — we raise funds and give it back to the community.”

The Lemont Junior Wom-

About Jill McAndrews RESIDENCE: Lemont AGE: 40 FAMILY: Married to John; two sons, Jack and James PROFESSION: Stay-at-home mom; former financial analyst for PepsiCo HOBBIES: Reading, exercise and spending time with family and friends an’s Club’s mission is to provide financial support to organizations in the Lemont community.

Over the past 20 years, the club has built the Safety Village, helped construct the Lemont Junior Woman’s Club park at Centennial Field, supported food pantries and Meals on Wheels, and provided scholarship opportunities for local students.

Q: What are some of your goals this year as president?

A: I want to celebrate the 20th year anniversary by holding a gala and dinner dance event on April 26. This will give us an opportunity to invite past presidents, members and hopefully rejuvenate and regenerate membership and get people excited about the club again. Our other goal is to launch our redesigned website, www.lemontjunior womansclub.org, in March.

Q: What are some challenges you see facing the club?

A: Rejuvenating membership. We used to be a club of over 100 members and because of various reasons, membership has dropped to about 75 members. We are not struggling but because of lower membership, we have gone down to one fundraiser a year because we are doing all the work. We need to find other ways to raise money that

don’t take hundreds of hours of work.

Q: Why is the 20th anniversary of the club special to you?

A: I see what it takes for it to run. It’s amazing that people step up and put forth the time and effort to make things happen. It’s amazing to me to know how hard it is to raise funds and celebrate all the things we have done.

Q: Where would you like to see the club in another 20 years?

A: I would like us to be the “go-to” organization for educational resources for all. Right now, we benefit the ones who need us most and that’s great but what I would like to do is be able to meet the needs of the entire community, whatever they may be. I would also like the club to still provide a social outlet for women looking to establish relationships and grow.

Are you suffering with an

Autoimmune condition?

Living with an autoimmune disorder can affect every part of your life. It keeps you from enjoying the good things in life… time with your kids, grandkids, activities like golfing, biking, yard work and gardening.

Did you know that leaky gut syndrome is a precursor to an autoimmune disease?

Did you know that your gut makes up 80% of your immune system?

An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your own body. There is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders, but you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY. My name is Dr. Jeffrey E Forzley, with Lemont Natural Healthcare. I am a chiropractic physician and a holistic practitioner. I am passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions. I have been in practice for 28 years. As a holistic practitioner I evaluate the whole body and the many systems of the body, integrate their relationships, manage the underlying cause and use natural methods to manage autoimmune disorders.

Are you suffering with any of these autoimmune disorders?

• Hashimotos hroiditis • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Graves Disease • Multiple Sclerosis • Scleroderma • Sjogre฀’s Sy฀drome • Type 1 Diabetes • Myasthe฀ia Gravis • A฀kylosi฀g Spo฀dylitis • Per฀iscious A฀emia

• Lupus • ALS • Psoriasis • Vasculitis • Celiac Disease • Croh฀’s Disease • Addiso฀’s Disease • Urticaria (Hives) • Eczema • Ray฀auds

Medications are not always the long term answer.

Medications can give you temporary relief but they DO NOT ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING CAUSE of your immune imbalance. All medications have side effects. These side effects can be more detrimental than the original symptoms sometimes.

Did you know that medications to treat autoimmune conditions can WEAKEN your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer? There is a time to use medications but not before a NATURAL way to manage the underlying imbalance.

So how do I help people with autoimmu฀e disorders? I use a combination of specific NEUROLOGICAL protocols a฀d NUTRITION recommendations… Neuro-Metabolic Therapy.

Your Brai฀ (฀ervous System) co฀trols all other systems of the body. It controls your immune system. digestive system, e฀docri฀e (hormo฀e) system… so if you have an immune system imbalance or autoimmune condition, evaluating and managing the nervous system is required for optimal improvement.

Your immune system.

There are 2 parts to the front line defense of your immu฀e system… TH1 (white blood cells) a฀d TH2 (a฀tibody respo฀se). hese 2 parts should work in balance together. But when you are suffering from an autoimmune disorder, one part is out of bala฀ce (domi฀a฀t). his leads to an imbalance in TH3 which in turn leads to an autoimmune response.

Testimonials I was diag฀osed with Graves Disease (autoimmu฀e thyroid) three years ago. My endocrinologist recommended surgery to remove my thyroid and put me on medication for the rest of my life. I searched for an alternative treatment to save my thyroid and found Dr. Forzley. Through comprehensive lab testing he found out what was causing my immune system to attack my thyroid. I have been receiving treatments and following his recommendations exactly and my lab numbers are now normal, my endocrinologist is happy, my medication has been reduced in half and I feel better. I highly recommend Dr. Forzley and his natural approach.

Sama฀tha R. I sufered from u฀bearable itchi฀g caused by Hives (chro฀ic autoimmu฀e Urticaria) for over 33 years. Steroid medicatio฀s helped the symptoms temporarily but the side effects were bad.

After an in-depth blood and metabolic analysis, Dr. Forzley found the cause of my problem. After 4-5 months of strictly following his recommendations, my hives are completely gone and I feel great.

Cheryl P. If your immune system is not managed properly, your condition can worsen, result in a poor quality of life, cause a shortening of the length of your life and cause other autoimmune disorders.

Holistic Therapy can manage autoimmune conditions by: 1) finding and balancing the underlying cause.

2) lowering the self destructive effects of the immune system.

3) using natural therapies that work with your body.

I can work with your immune system NATURALLY a฀d bala฀ce the TH1, TH2, TH3 a฀d TH17. You can never be cured of an autoimmune disorder.

BUT, you can get symptom relief and calm down the immune attack on you own body. You must get a detailed immune system evaluation followed by specific recommendation based on those tests.

Guess what stimulates TH1?Vitami฀ C. But if you are TH1 domi฀a฀t, Taki฀g vitami฀ C will WORSEN your immu฀e respo฀se. hat’s right worsen. We need to identify which part of your immune system is dominant in order to calm down the immune system.

I do฀’t treat or cure autoimmu฀e disorders.

By using specific neurological and nutritional protocols, I help to decrease your body’s i฀lammatio฀, detoxify your body, bala฀ce TH1, TH2, TH3 a฀d TH17 which NATURALLY boosts your immune system. THAT is how I address autoimmune disorders.

Sarah Minor – sminor@shawmedia.com

Rose Beaudry, a resident at Franciscan Village, contemplates her next Bridge move on Monday.

“It’s not isolation,” Barichello said. “It’s absolutely important for seniors to have a connection with the community of Lemont. They want to know what’s going on around them.”

In order to keep the seniors involved in the Lemont community, Franciscan Village teams up with Lemont Township, Lemont High School and the Lemont Library to provide off-campus activities for the seniors.

Franciscan Village resident Virginia Williams, 95, attended a gettogether with students from Lemont High School’s family and consumer science classes in December. The students and seniors baked sugar cookies — the seniors shared some tips — and socialized.

“I love young people and I like to be active,” Williams said. “I like to see what the (students) are doing and what’s going on in the world. I don’t like

Residents air concerns on $21M sports complex

By JANICE HOPPE jhoppe@shawmedia.com

LEMONT — A crowd of nearly two dozen brought concerns of property tax hikes and questions of transparency to Mayor Brian Reaves Wednesday morning during an informational meeting on the proposed $21 million Lemont Sports Complex.

Reaves assured the crowd the project would not require a property tax increase — barring a colossal failure of the project — and instead would be funded through sales tax, Tax Increment Financing district funds, income tax and operation revenue from the facility, which Reaves said Wednesday is estimated at $3 million annually.

“Before a project like this would ever go back onto someone’s taxes, the facility would have to fall on its face,” Reaves said at the 8 a.m. meeting.

“Then it would go on property taxes.”

On Jan. 28, the Lemont Village Board began the process of borrowing $21 million in general obligation bonds to fund the complex, proposed on a 26acre site at the end of Stephen Street on the southern border of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. The bonds would be repaid over 30 years under the proposal.

The development is touted by officials as an attraction that could bring in 650,000 people annually to the downtown Lemont area.

It is proposed to have four indoor and outdoor turf fields, a multi-purpose area and an outdoor skating rink for the winter months. The fields will be open to baseball, softball, rugby, lacrosse and soccer and the complex is proposed to be staffed by a firm that will be working under the umbrella of the village of Lemont, officials said.

Reaves also addressed questions as to why the village’s intent to develop the project wasn’t shared with residents until one of the last stages of planning.

He reasoned that officials were awaiting results from feasibility studies to determine if the project would even advance, and that negotiations to purchase the property on which the development is proposed were ongoing. Under the Open Meetings Act, government bodies can discuss real estate acquisitions in closed sessions not open to the public.

Residents still wanting to weigh in on the proposed development have two options moving forward.

A public hearing on the development is scheduled for 7 p.m. Feb. 11 at Lemont Village Hall, during which residents can address the village board publicly.

Those opposed to the project

have the option of organizing a petition that could force the proposed development onto election ballots as a referendum in April 2014, if it garners 785

signatures of registered Lemont voters and is filed by March 2.

A petition form can be picked up at Lemont Village Hall, Reaves said Wednesday.

new picture for senior living.

“It’s all about the lifestyle,” said Monica Barichello, director of community relations for Franciscan Village. “We have a wonderful retirement lifestyle that allows residents to be worry-free and stress-free to enjoy their retirement years.”

A majority of the residents at the facility live independently and if health care is needed, there is assisted living and a full nursing center available, she said.

LEM • Friday, February 8, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Reporter/Met

LEMONT — At 90 years old, Kay Gryz isn’t letting age slow her down. The grand title of Wii bowling champion and the lure of big jackpots at the casino keep her going.

“I love gambling,” Gryz said. “I like to move from slot to slot. I play the two-cent 7’s game and the one-cent Magician slot. I ante up every play.”

Gryz isn’t unlike many of her neighbors at Franciscan Village senior living community in Lemont, many of whom have packed schedules of activities just like Gryz.

“When my family calls they always get the answering machine,” Gryz said. “I’m in one thing after the other. If you want to be happy, you have to be busy. That’s me.”

And that’s why the retirement life at Franciscan Village suits her, she says. From the Wii tournaments and casino trips, to fitness classes, Bible studies, shopping trips and more: the continuing career retirement facility is keeping its residents busy and painting a

to sit still.”

Seniors from Franciscan Village also recently partnered with St. Cyril kindergartners to provide a “Best Buddies” program.

“Through that program, whether those kids are now teenagers or in their 20s, they still connect with the seniors here,” Barichello said. “It’s an impact that is made by a generation that is so different than them. Everyone wins. The seniors love every minute of it.”

Just as seniors go offcampus to get involved in the Lemont community, the community is also invited into Franciscan Village.

Barichello said the village offers open houses throughout the year along with summer band concerts, an Easter egg hunt, a trick-or-treat trail and milk and cookies with Santa.

Gryz, who volunteers to show visitors around during open house events, said opening up their doors to the village and attending events off-campus really makes her feel part of the Lemont community.

“It keeps you happy all the time,” Gryz said. “Put your heart in things and enjoy.”

103 Stephen St. Lemont, IL 60439

LEM • Friday, February 8, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Reporter/Met

LEMONT — District 113A could be in another financial pinch come the end of February.

Business manager Barbara Germany told the District 113A Board of Education Tuesday night the Illinois State Board of Education won’t allow the district to defer a $77,000 payment as district officials had requested.

Now, District 113A is weighing an interfund loan to come up with the money — money owed to the state from unallowable reimbursement claims District 113A made and received in Fiscal 2010. The loan could, if approved by the District 113A School Board

this month, put constraints on the district’s transportation fund, though it’s unclear to what extent.

Germany said she will perform a cash flow analysis over the next week and determine whether enough money is available in the transportation fund to cover the payment.

If there are insufficient funds, an interfund loan from the education fund into the transportation fund will be necessary, she said.

District 113A requested to defer the $77,000 payment in order to avoid overlapping payments to the state.

Administrators will update the board of education on the issue during a Feb. 19 board meeting.

Lemont is full of losers ... in weight loss, that is

By JANICE HOPPE jhoppe@shawmedia.com LEMONT — Serious health problems, such as breast cancer and high blood pressure, recently jolted Dino and Ellen LeKousis into reality about their weight issues.

Ellen was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer in April 2012 when she realized she could help beat it if she lost some weight. Estrogen in Ellen’s body was causing her tumor to grow.

“We both had been hoarding around extra weight for quite some years,” Ellen said.

“Last April I was diagnosed, and (discovered) a woman’s fat holds estrogen — so I really needed to lose weight.”

Dino was battling his own health issues as well — being diagnosed with high blood pressure, becoming easily fatigued and a general feeling of “being old,” he said. He and Ellen had trouble getting up and down from the floor and even playing with their grandchildren.

“My biggest motivation was Ellen’s condition and the urgency of her need of weight loss,” Dino said. “We jumped on the wagon together and we will do it together.”

At the end of September, Ellen and Dino decided to enroll in the Lemont Park District’s “Lemont Losers” program — which mimics the NBC television show “The Biggest Loser.”

Lemont Losers is a sevenweek weight loss program that meets twice a week with a certified personal trainer.

Workouts consist of strength

8NEWS BRIEFS Police Dept. offers forum to keep teens drug free LEMONT — The Lemont Police Department will be hosting an educational forum on March 5 to assist parents in keeping their preteens and teens drug free.

training, cardio and core work. To win, the team has to have the highest body-percent weight loss.

Jean Skarzynski, the certified personal trainer for the program, holds classes for participants twice a week and has a weigh-in every Thursday.

“Lemont Losers is a program designed to help those start and keep on track with their fitness goals,” Skarzynski said. “Through motivation of a team as well as holding members accountable, goals are achieved with weekly weight tracking, food logs, weights and cardio.”

At the time the couple signed up, Ellen was still undergoing radiation treatments for her breast cancer, but fought through her body’s resistance to keep active.

“It was really hard because radiation really just wears your body out,” Ellen said. “In the last stages (of radiation), they do a super-intense dose.

Since beginning the program, Dino and Ellen hit the CORE fitness center a total of five times per week. Three times per week, they show up to the fitness center on their own to walk or run on the treadmill, row and climb.

Then, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, they attend the Lemont Losers class where they lift weights.

“We never thought we would run again, now we are running on the treadmills,” Dino said. “It’s life-changing.”

To date, Dino has lost 65 pounds and Ellen has dropped 34. Neither is afraid for the weekly weigh-in, as they are

eager to learn how much they have lost and be named the biggest loser for the week.

“I think the weigh-in is cool,” Dino said. “We jump off the scale with lost weight.”

Dino said he now has a clean bill of health thanks to the program and working out five days a week.

“I got rid of the high blood pressure,” Dino said. “When you start staring down the barrel of diabetes, I think it’s more frightening and we just weren’t going to get to that.”

The biggest motivator for the Lemont couple has been the commitment to attend the Lemont Losers program and the results they can see in how they feel and in their clothing.

Dino has 35 more pounds he wants to lose, while Ellen is going for 71. And they’re fine with slow and steady.

“I just feel better, sleep better and eat better,” Dino said.

“We aren’t on a ‘diet’ and we eat all the normal foods, we just learned how to fuel our body. The whole thing is a learning experience.”

Ellen had some advice for those who may be in their old shoes.

“Put down the remote control. Just do it — it’s never too late,” she said. “People always think they are beyond that point, at the point of no return, but it’s never too late to get your health in order and make a life change.”

GET TO KNOW: EDUARDO NEPOMUCENO

Chef Eduardo Nepomuceno cuts scallions for a soup at the Lemont Nursing and Rehabilitation Center on Jan. 29.

First head chef hired at Lemont Nursing & Rehab

By JANICE HOPPE jhoppe@shawmedia.com LEMONT — The heat is on in the kitchen for Eduardo Nepomuceno as he was recently hired as the first head chef for the Lemont Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

Nepomuceno jumped at the chance to become the center’s head chef as he hopes to use his background in nutrition, dietetics and restaurant management to provide a great meal for nursing home residents. He previously was in charge of managing and overseeing operations and cooking for Panda Express, Portillos/ Barnelli’s and Pei Wei by PF Changs.

“It’s a higher quality of food and something they would go out to eat with their family to get,” Nepomuceno said of the dishes he is preparing. “They can get that meal here. It’s quality meals and at the same

time I know it’s nutritionally sound. That was my goal.”

The goal for the nursing facility is to use only fresh ingredients and raise the standards of dining for residents, he added.

Nepomuceno is in charge of creating dishes for the residents’ menus, coming up with four unique dining events each month such as a “build a burger” night and planning

seasonal menus, which include hearty dishes like stew in the winter and lighter dishes like fruits and salads in the summer.

“Being the first head chef, I really need to make an impact and that is the direction we are heading towards,” Nepomuceno said. “We want to be more culinary-focused in the meals of our residents rather than just getting by day-today. We want to pay attention to detail and present them with food that is visually appealing.”

Despite his passion for the culinary arts, Nepomuceno said he never wanted to become a chef and actually was enrolled in a Philippines university to become a doctor.

“I always liked cooking but I never saw myself doing it professionally,” Nepomuceno said. “It actually clicked when I was doing my internship in

a hospital. I saw the tray line and all the big pots and ended up spending my time in the helping line than doing my rounds.”

At 20 years old, Nepomuceno decided to begin catering as a part-time job, which helped launch his career as he was able to support his schooling for a nutrition and dietetics degree.

Today, Nepomuceno looks for a long career with the center as he hopes a corporate chef position becomes available for him to train incoming chefs at other centers to achieve the same goal of serving high-quality food to residents.

“The goal is for all the facilities (owned by the Lemont Nursing and Rehabilitation Center) to eventually have the same vision as we have — restaurant quality food at home,” Nepomuceno said.

“I had the day off so I went to take care of personal business. I don’t go out because the restaurants are too busy.”

“Serving our communities to make them better places to live.”

LEMONT — Lemont High School faculty members were victorious, but the real winner of the National Honor Society Student-Faculty Basketball Game Fundraiser Feb. 7 is the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

The group is the recipient of a $1,700 check thanks to the fundraiser, during which teachers and faculty squeaked out a 48-41 win over the students. Money was raised through attendance and by raffling off roster spots for the students, according to National Honor Society co-sponsor and English teacher Marek Dron.

“It was terrific,” Dron said.

“Financially, it was the most successful fundraiser we have had. I have to give credit to the (National Honor Society) students who went above and beyond: President Jon Clark, Natalia Jezyk, Eddy Sinovich, Claire O’Leary, Molly Finnlley and Alyssa Jaje.”

Members of the high school’s basketball teams couldn’t risk injury heading into the playoffs, so four students from each grade level — boys and girls — were selected to make up the student team. The faculty team was made up of volunteers.

This is the fourth year the National Honor Society has hosted a Student-Faculty Basketball Game Fundraiser, Dron said. Every year, the society selects a new charity to donate the money raised.

“In past years we let opportunity present itself and we benefited the efforts in Haiti and Japan,” Dron said. “Our members are pretty good about selecting a cause and it helps when you have a group that is passionate about the cause and the game.”

Along with raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the group also asked for canned goods donations and received about 150 cans to donate to

Standing-room crowd packs village hall for public hearing on Lemont Sports Complex

By JANICE HOPPE jhoppe@shawmedia.com LEMONT — If constructed this fall, the Lemont Sports Complex will attract more than 600,000 people annually, according to village officials.

On Monday night, the complex was already attracting a crowd, though the 60 or so Lemont residents who turned out at village hall weren’t looking for soccer or baseball games.

Instead, they were there to sound off on the proposed $21 million athletic facility.

The Lemont Village Board hosted a public hearing on the proposal, and of the 60 or so in attendance, nearly 20 spoke publicly on the project, some in favor, some against, and some just wanting to know more.

Many of those who spoke in favor of the project Monday are involved with various sports traveling teams. They included Bill Douglass and Mary Pollard.

“They will come here if there is a place to play,” said Douglass, referring to lacrosse players across the area.

Douglass is involved with the Lemont Youth Lacrosse Organization, which he said has tripled membership over the last three years and is in need of more playing fields.

“I congratulate you for thinking outside the box,” said Mary Pollard, a mother to children in various traveling sports leagues. “... As many people who might criticize you for moving too fast, just as many would criticize

you for dragging your feet.”

Resident James Ladas was one of the speakers Monday to bring up concern over how the project was revealed to the public.

“To a degree, the village has gone behind our backs in a grandiose project, a $21 million bond issue,” Ladas said.

“I am disappointed this has taken place rapidly and don’t feel we have had enough time to discuss this as citizens and taxpayers.”

The proposed $21 million complex will sit on 26 acres at the north end of Stephen Street.

It is proposed to have four indoor and outdoor turf fields, a multi-purpose area and an outdoor skating rink for the winter months. The fields will be open

to baseball, softball, rugby, lacrosse and soccer. The complex is proposed to be staffed by a firm that will be working under the umbrella of the village of Lemont, officials said.

Resident Tim Stieber questioned whether the project can be self-sustaining, as officials have said it would be.

“I want everyone to think about this,” Stieber said. “Can you do this at half the revenue stream? I bet it’s closer to half than full (projected revenue).

Can we afford the other half?

On Jan. 28, the Lemont Village Board began the process of borrowing $21 million in general obligation, alternate revenue bonds to fund the complex.

The bonds would be repaid over 30 years and funded through sales tax, Tax In-

crement Financing district funds, income tax and operation revenue from the facility — which will be the major source of funding, officials have said.

While residents had a chance to air their concerns on the complex during the hearing Monday, those opposed to it still have the option of forcing the issue to the ballots.

If a petition signed by 785 registered Lemont voters is filed by March 2, the issue would be put on the April 2014 ballots.

If a petition is not filed, the Lemont Village Board is expected to issue the $21 million in bonds at a meeting in March. Ground-breaking would then begin that month, with a targeted completion date in November.

Pending state approval, District 113A looks to add 7 teachers District targets class sizes with new strategic plan

By JANICE HOPPE jhoppe@shawmedia.com LEMONT — After three months of analyzing resources and needs in District 113A, administrators have completed a draft strategic plan that includes additional staffing and upgrades in technology, curriculum and facilities over the next five years.

“One thing that ranked loudly was class size,” Superintendent Susan Birkenmaier said. “We looked at where we need to really focus staffing in-

creases to get the most effective response.”

For the 2013-14 school year, district officials are looking to add six full-time teachers and one part-time teacher.

In addition, the district will hire an additional counselor.

Before hiring the teachers, District 113A needs the Illinois State Board of Education to sign off on a new financial plan from the district.

With ISBE’s approval, the hires will reduce average class sizes in grades kindergarten, second, third and fifth. Kindergarten classes will be reduced from an average of 27 to 24 students per classroom; second grade from 27 to 23 students; third grade from 31 to 27 students and fifth grade from 42 to

32 students.

Grades one, four, six, seven and eight will not get additional teachers.

The strategic plan draft also includes long-term goals for class sizes throughout the district, with kindergarten through second grade classes

having 21 to 24 students on average, third and fourth grades having 23 to 27 students per classroom, and fifth through eighth grades having 26 to 30 students per classroom.

In addition to targeting class sizes, the strategic plan aims to update materials in math and writing curriculum, look for ways to improve the district’s technology to build student engagement and facility improvements in all three schools.

The draft plan did not include an outline to reinstate extra-curricular activities such as band, music and foreign language.

Officials reasoned bringing the activities back into the school day would reduce class time, and determined it wouldn’t be “in the best inter-

ests of the students.”

“Part of our five-year plan is to look at it again,” Old Quarry Principal Bill Caron said. “Too many of my colleagues are having to cut band, art and music and we have always cherished that here. Luckily, we had a group of parents to step-up and do it for us.”

The District 113A Board of Education is expected to vote on the strategic plan during its Tuesday meeting at 7 p.m. at Old Quarry Middle School.

After board approval, administrators will be tasked with creating a new financial plan to submit to ISBE. “It’s a living document that will get us started and headed in the right direction,” Birkenmaier said of the strategic plan. “We know there will be changes. We

Fountaindale Library to open new digital studio Studio 300, Fountaindale Public Library’s new digital creation space, is set to open in early March and we are very excited about it.

Studio 300 will be a place where you will be able to work with images, video, sound and music to make something special for your family, your business, your church or just for yourself.

We will have the latest and greatest tools and software available to tell your story.

Studio 300 will offer six sound-recording studios of differing sizes, two video recording studios with a shared control room, three group collaboration rooms with hightech equipment for working together, and 18 iMacs with the best software for creating and editing digital content.

There will also be equipment available for in-library use and equipment that you will be able to check out as well.

Most importantly, there will be knowledgeable and friendly staff members available to answer any of your questions. The concept of our Studio 300 space is that it will be a do-it-yourself lab, and our staffers will be there to help you figure out how to build what you want to make.

New Lemont Junior Women’s Club president Jill McAndrews stands next to the Safety Village mural Feb. 6 in Lemont. This is the club’s 20th anniversary of service to the community, and one of LJWC’s main staples is their work with Safety Village.

The Lemont Junior Woman’s Club will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year. Jill McAndrews has become the group’s new president and revealed that the organization’s theme is “The Tree” — “It’s grounded, growing and giving,” she said. Members meet at 7 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month at Safety Village. Anyone interested in information about membership should send an email to Joy Michalak, membership@lemontjuniorwomansclub.org.

The Lemont Public Library, 50 E. Wend St., will host a Moms and Muffins event from 6 to 7 p.m. Monday. Mothers are invited to bring their children, ages 7 to 11, to the event to enjoy reading classic books together and enjoy some muffins. Participants are asked to read the book “Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Grahame beforehand. Registration is required. Call Mary Inman

To the editor: My friend Mary has been calling people and asking for donations for AmVets for more than 20 years.

She recently received a surprise call from her boss. Mary‘s boss wanted to tell her some news that would make her very sad and yet very proud.

One of the ladies she had called for more than 10 years had passed away, and her daughter thought it would only be right to let Mary know. She wanted to thank Mary since she knew how much she had truly cared about her mom.

She asked if they could relay the message to Mary. It was this expression of thanks that meant so much!

Mary was so shocked. Never in all the years that she has been a caller for AmVets had anyone ever called her to let her know someone had died. Many times the phone just rings and rings without an answer.

Mary wonders if the person is all right. At other times the phone number is disconnected.

In Mary’s mind, she thinks that maybe that person has passed See LETTERS, page 13

I have been asked why a library is building a creative space like Studio 300. Aren’t we all about books?

My answer is that libraries are more than just a source of information. We are a place where people come to learn and to create something new

from what they have learned.

In the past, the creation tools may have been paper and pen or even typewriters.

More recently, that has meant computers with Microsoft Office and similar software.

Studio 300 will now provide the latest tools and expertise so our patrons can continue to build and create things important to them with the resourc-

es offered by the library.

Please be sure to watch our website, www.fountaindale. org, for more information about Studio 300. We look forward to seeing you there in March.

Music to your ears Vibrant entertainment scene melts winter blues This month’s lineup includes One Night Band and LAVA Rock. And at 8 p.m. most Thursdays, fans can enjoy the sounds of The Pete Ellman Big Band.

By ALLISON HORNE msleditorial@shawmedia.com Winter often brings the blues, but many restaurants and bars in the suburbs are taking a different approach to the word “blues.” Instead of referring to the curl-up-in-bed kind of mood, they’re looking at the art form. Although hibernating might seem like a good option during winter months, it would be a little more fun to grab your dancing shoes and gravitate to the hot spots around town that host live music weekly.

The suburbs often sit in the shadow of Chicago’s impressive music scene, but there are plenty of local venues that are starting to emerge as hubs for up-andcoming musicians. From rock ‘n’ roll to country, folk and even DJs, here are some of the suburban spots worth checking out.

CABANA CHARLEY’S Where: 6315

Chris T offers music every Thursday night to go hand-in-hand with $5 signature martinis and half-price appetizers from 4 to 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. to closing. Every Friday and Saturday, DJs control the music starting at 10 p.m.

Stylish comedy

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com Fans of the P.G. Wodehouse characters Jeeves and Wooster have a new plot to look forward to, with the third installment by First Folio Theatre in Oak Brook. David Rice of Clarendon Hills, who co-founded the troupe with his wife, Director Alison Vesely, plays a villain in the piece and previews what’s in store.

Technical Director Kyle Gettelman of Warrenville also shares his role in bringing the comedy to the stage at the Mayslake Peabody Estate.

How many ‘Jeeves’ shows have you presented, David?

This is the third adaptation that Margaret Raether has done of stories

by P.G. Wodehouse. She writes them for her own theater company in Rockford. We are lucky enough to snag the Chicago premiere in each case, and get to put them on right after they do. It’s another delightful, lighthearted, silly comedy. It’s family

friendly — (with) no language issues and no adult content of any sort. It’s a great way to get a much-needed laugh in the middle of winter. They are among (our) best-selling shows.

Explain the interplay of the main characters.

The basic heart of the Jeeves and Wooster stories is that Bertram Wooster is a complete and total twit, an airhead as we might say in modern parlance. His valet Jeeves is the perfect companion to keep him out of trouble and to manage to extract him from any difficulties he gets into. The series (is about) Bertie getting into trouble, and Jeeves finding a clever way to get him out of it.

You’re making a rare appearance on stage.

What’s your role in the show?

I play a New York mobster just at the end of Prohibition, named Knuckles McCanne. With the assistance of one of his best friends, Binky, Bertie

Bertie to ask Jeeves to save the day in latest adventure at First Folio

manages to run afoul of this mobster and is in fear of losing his life.

The same actors are returning in the leads?

This is the third time we’ll have the great good fortune of (featuring) Jim McCance, who is marvelous as Jeeves, and Christian Gray, who is picture perfect as Bertie Wooster.

We’re also lucky to be bringing back Kevin McKillip, who has played a series of Bertie’s dimwitted friends.

Kevin finds a different way to make each (unique).

What is your primary role as technical director, Kyle?

Generally speaking, technical directors are the ones responsible for the execution of the scenic design.

One of the things that is unique and fun about theater is that everything is always a little different. One show, we’ll be fabricating something out of steel, so it can be rigid and structural so people can climb on it. The next

show, it’s made of fabric or a lightweight material purely as a visual aesthetic.

What have you created for this show?

‘Jeeves Takes a Bow’ is a comedy (with) a pretty standard, realistic interior. (Yet,) the whole look of the set is intended to be one that is sort of comical … a space that is over the top. There’s a huge amount of trim work. (It’s) really the detail that counts — that all the different elements (are) put up cleanly. We create a palette for the actors to do … their craft.

Besides your graduate training, where did you pick up your knack for all these skills?

I grew up on a small horse farm, and have been building things and working with tools my entire life.

My day job … (is theater department) technical director at North Central College in Naperville.

Lemont’s Mike Wisz drives toward the basket during his 25-point performance against TF South Tuesday in Lemont.

Wisz Show

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com On senior night Tuesday in Lemont, it was Mike Wisz who stole the show.

Showing off his full offensive arsenal, the junior scored a game-high 25 points to propel the Indians past TF South 72-55.

Fourteen of those came during a decisive 22-11 secondquarter run in which Lemont’s leading scorer, Juozas Balciunas, was on the bench after picking up a pair of fouls.

“We are used to having Juozas on the court the whole time,” Wisz said, “so it was good to help him when he was down. I came out and did pretty well after a rough first quarter.

Game box Lemont 72 TF South 55 Leading scorers: Mike Wisz 25, Juozas Balciunas 14, Joey Hehir 12 Next game: 7 p.m. Friday at Reavis I’m glad to help my team out.”

The victory was a fitting tribute for a senior class that didn’t lose a home game during the past two seasons.

“I don’t know if people really realize that these seniors have been undefeated at home as juniors and seniors,” said Lemont coach Rick Runaas. “I haven’t looked it up officially yet but you’d be hard-pressed to find two seasons that Lem-

ont boys basketball has had a better win percentage. These guys have won a lot of games.

They might be the most successful senior class in the history of the school.”

Count Wisz among those who have enjoyed playing with the senior group, which numbers six players: Balciunas, Joey Hehir, Ed Masiulionis, Jack Shereck, Martynas Einikis and Erick Rydberg.

“They are a great group of guys,” the junior forward said.

“It’s fun to play with them. We have a lot of talent out there and when we move the ball and play as a team, it works really well.”

Tuesday’s win came on the heels of a 51-50 decision over TF North on Friday. In that con-

Lemont junior provides answer with leading scorer Balciunas on bench

test, a Hehir free throw with 4.5 seconds remaining accounted for the final margin.

The two victories improved the team’s overall record to 21-2 and most importantly, kept the team just one game behind Hillcrest in the South Suburban Blue conference standings with a 10-1 mark.

Lemont and Hillcrest will meet in the final regular season game on Friday, Feb. 22.

“TF North and South are good basketball teams,” said Lemont coach Rick Runaas.

“We’ve got a couple more to get. Everyone has been talking about it (the Lemont-Hillcrest matchup) all year so it would be nice to have it really mean something.”

That scenario played out last season when the Indians beat Hillcrest 58-57 in the final conference game of the season to force the Hawks to share the title with matching 13-1 records.

To have a chance to grab a share of the league title in that contest, the Indians must first get past a Reavis team that is tied for first place in the other division of the conference.

“They are physical and strong,” the coach said. “They will try to slow it down and grind it out. If we want the Hillcrest game to mean anything, we have to win this one.”

Lemont also has a non-conference game against Glenbard South scheduled for Tuesday.

Giatras ready for last Lemont girls ‘overachieve’ this shot at state title season despite regional loss

By SCOTT SCHMID

sschmid@shawmedia.com

State wrestling

What: Class 2A wrestling individual For what has become a stotournament ried athletic career at Lemont When: Thursday-Saturday for Chris Giatras, it all comes Where: Assembly Hall, Champaign down to this.

One last weekend. One last chance to walk away with a state title.

“That would be better than perfect if it ends the way I want it to,” Giatras said. “That’s for sure.”

The senior makes his return Chris Giatras to Assembly Hall in Champaign this weekend for the IHSA individual state wrestling meet. A year ago, Giatras placed fifth in the Class 2A 182-pound weight class, and this time around, he enters the same bracket with a 40-1 record.

“Being down there is surreal,” he said. “I’ll never forget my first time walking in there, it was empty but I never had my eyes open up wider. It’s exciting to think about.

“All the stress and anxiety I have getting ready for a match, that has turned to pure excitement and anticipation for being in Assembly Hall. I don’t even want to stay in the hotel, I’ll stay in there if they let me.”

Giatras booked his trip to state after capturing the title at

the Rich East sectional Saturday.

But his path to the crown was far from easy. He defeated previously undefeated Aeneas White of Nazareth 3-1 in overtime in the semifinals and then knocked off Javier Montalvo of Lincoln-Way West 4-3 in the final.

“Those kids knew how to handle me,” Giatras said. “I didn’t match up with them too well this week. A better way of saying it is they matched up well with me.”

The game plan for this weekend is clear cut.

“There is no other way to do it, just go match by match,” the senior said. “And I have to get my offense going early. Work my pace, don’t let them work theirs.”

Fellow senior Mike DeVitt also competed at the sectional and fell one win short of returning to state. He won his first match at 220 before losing in the quarterfinals, then picked up a pair of victories in the wrestlebacks. Devitt’s day came to an end with a 9-0 loss to eventual third-place finisher Alec Brown of Oak Forest.

Udziela bowls 275 high game in state finals SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA Making her first appearance at the IHSA state bowling meet, Lemont sophomore Kyra Udziela more than held her own in the two- Kyra Udziela day competition.

Udziela finished 28th out of 125 entrants, posting a 12-game score of 2,474 pins for a 206.2 average.

The sophomore advanced to Saturday’s finals after placing 33rd in Friday’s prelims

with a total of 1,221 and high games of 228 and 227.

She then began Saturday with a 275, the second-highest individual game score posted that day, and added a 234 in the second game, finishing with a three-game series of 707; Udziela was one of only four bowlers to go above the 700-mark in that round.

Lemont also shares a connection with the individual state champion, Giselle Poss of Oswego East, who is the daughter of Jim Poss, Lemont High School director of information technology. She finished with a score of 2,727.

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com To have a chance at upsetting Romeoville in a Class 3A regional semifinal Wednesday, Lemont needed to take care of the ball and rebound.

As it turns out, the Indians weren’t able to do either.

Finishing with 19 turnovers while allowing 18 offensive rebounds, Lemont saw its 2012-13 campaign come to an end with a 52-35 loss to the Spartans.

“That’s the story,” said Lemont coach Bill Bozue.

“The two things we had talked about, one was making sure we took care of the ball and we pretty much did the opposite of that. And rebounding was the other one.

We knew they would hit the boards and be athletic and we stood around and watched.”

The Indians, who opened the playoffs with a 33-21 win over Plainfield South on Monday, wrapped up the winter with a 14-14 mark.

“I think we did a little bit better than expected,” the coach said. “In the plan, we didn’t plan on not having Kelsey (Motto) for most of the season. So we might have overachieved.”

Motto, one of five seniors on the roster, missed extended time on two different occasions with a right knee injury. She returned for senior night last Friday after last playing on Dec. 11.

“I wanted to come back but didn’t want to rush it,” Motto said. “The plan was to come back for senior night and I did.

“I wish we could have won (against Romeoville) but they were the better team. I wish we could have limited our turnovers but we played about as well as we could.”

Along with Motto, also playing their final games for Lemont were Courtney

Toth, who led the team with 12 points Tuesday, Nicole Krol, Claire O’Leary and Ashley Pulla.

“They all love basketball,” Bozue said, “and they worked hard at it for a lot of years. A lot of them played grade school ball together

or against each other. They developed a bond and that is what sports is about at the high school level.

“One of the main reasons kids play is the camaraderie. They stuck together, played hard and were unselfish with the ball.”

Lemont will return a solid core next winter, which includes Kim Jerantowski, Jenny Hennig, Carly Motto and Madeline Vermejan, a freshman who made an immediate impact after being called up to varsity midway through the year.
