8QUOTABLE “From the president’s speech, in theory, I think it’s a good idea, but I really would need to see what the details are.” U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs, 3rd Dist. Page 4

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

LEMONT — Plans for the community to develop a new sports complex in downtown Lemont have taken a new turn as village leaders invite private investors to take the reins on the project.

“We will explore all options as they relate to the financing of the facility,” said Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves.

The change in direction comes after residents calling themselves the Let Us Vote campaign submitted a 185-page petition with 1,675 signatures seeking to put the bond issuance on the ballot in the 2014 election.

“We felt very strongly that we should vote on this issue. We wanted to have a say,” said Lemont resident Janet Hughes, who was among those circulating petitions with a door-to-door campaign. “We need to be responsible for our tax dollars. The board needs to be responsible.”

In late January, the board initiated the process to sell up to $21 million in alternate revenue source bonds for the proposed 26-acre facility with indoor and outdoor components. The proposed site is on the north end of Stephen Street. In the proposal, the village would construct and manage the facility that would offer rental opportunities for youth sports teams seeking practice and tournament space.

The Lemont Village Board approved an ordinance to initiate the bond process Jan. 28, setting off concerns among residents like Jim Ladas.

“I was very disturbed when I read about the passing the bond ordinance,” he said.

Ladas said he is uncomfortable with the risks associated with the project, in particular the village and taxpayers’ responsibility if the project is not profitable.

He said there are many questions about the project including how it will meet the objective of drawing more people to the downtown and helping local businesses.

“Now we have time to get the answers to them,” he said.

Reaves wanted to see the project break ground this

year and get the complex ready for sports teams to use in the fall. He said the proposal was to issue bonds, build the facility and use funds generated from the facility to pay down the bond debt service.

“We had an opportunity to make a business decision,” Reaves said.

Reaves said no one is questioning the petitions.

And should the Village Board want to proceed with the project and sell bonds to finance it, the item would appear as a referendum on the March 2014 ballot, he said.

“In talking to the residents, I truly do understand the fear,” Reaves said.

State Sen. Christine Rado-

gno, R-41st District, of Lemont applauded the mayor’s decision to pull back on the sports complex. In a statement Radogno said, “I believe a project of this magnitude deserves a thorough review.

Like others familiar with it, I’m currently taking time to educate myself on the details.

Some believe they need more time to study the proposal and its merits. I signed the petition as an individual resident of Lemont to give those residents that opportunity.”

Lemont resident Bill Douglass is involved with youth sports including the Lemont Indians Youth Lacrosse. He said he’d like to see the sports complex develop, whether by the village or a private investor.

“I would like to see it work. It would be good for everybody and nice to be able to support our town,” he said.

According to a village fact sheet on the project, the sports complex project was initially brought to the village by a private investor.

The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago owns the property of the proposed project. The village had been in the process of negotiating a lease for use of the land for this project.

Hughes said members of the Let Us Vote campaign will be meeting from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday, March 24, at the Illinois Bar & Grill 1131 State St. in Lemont, for an informal meeting.

Obama: Argonne research crucial to alternative fuel future

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com ARGONNE — President Barack Obama stood in front of three cars that run on battery power, saying that one day, technology research being done at Argonne National Laboratory near Darien could help Americans travel farther than ever before at a more affordable price.

However, the sequester cuts may largely affect alternative fuel research.

Obama told media gathered at Argonne last Friday that one of the reasons he is against the sequester is because it doesn’t distinguish between wasteful programs and needed investments, such as the funding to continue some of the work and research at Argonne.

Located just outside Darien and Lemont in suburban Chicago, Argonne National Laboratory is one of the U.S. Department of Energy’s largest national laboratories for scientific and engineering research. In December 2012, the

Joint Center for Energy Storage Research, headquartered at Argonne, was chosen to be the new Batteries and Energy Storage Hub — representing a $120 million federal investment over the next five years.

Obama stressed continuing to fund research and finding new ways to distance ourselves from oil — keeping energy at home and creating new jobs.

“I chose (to come to) Argonne National Lab because right now, few areas hold more promise for creating new jobs and growing our economy than how we use American energy,” Obama said.

In researching how to make batteries last longer, the facility plays a major role in the Department of Energy’s energy storage program within its Office of Vehicle Technologies, focusing on improving lithium batteries for cars.

“Wouldn’t you want your car battery, your phone battery or any battery for that matter to run longer and more efficiently?” said Kare-

U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs, 3rd Dist., said he supported the president in terms of finding new energy sources, but that he’d need more details before he could agree on spending.

“From the president’s speech, in theory, I think it’s a good idea, but I really would need to see what the details are,” Lipinski said. “With gas prices so high right now, everyone understands we need to get away from using oil.”

New energy will not only eliminate the carbon footprint, but boost the economy, Obama said.

“I want the next great job-creating breakthroughs — whether it’s in energy or nanotechnology or bioengineering — I want those breakthroughs to be right here in the United States of America, creating American jobs and maintaining our technological lead,” Obama said.

The last visit by a president to Argonne was when George W. Bush made a trip in 2002, Argonne officials said.

Mark Busch – mbusch@shawmedia.com

President Obama speaks at Argonne National Laboratory last Friday. na Chapman, an Argonne scientist from Naperville who works on batteries in the preliminary stage.

Dr. Eric Isaacs, Argonne director, told Obama the cuts from the sequester would force him to stop any new project that’s coming down the line.

But Isaacs said the immediate effects are still uncertain.

“We don’t know yet because the whole government is trying to figure out what the

cuts will be, so we’re planning, but we’re hoping for the best,” Isaacs said.

In the meantime, Argonne scientists are still coming to work every day and continuing “their great work,” he added.

During his visit, Obama also asked for Congress to authorize spending $2 billion over the next decade for research on electric cars and decreasing a need for oil in the U.S.

District 113A resources enhance student achievement Most parents in Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A are familiar with the ISAT exam as students first take part in that testing as third-graders and continue to do so through eighth grade.

However, once students move on from eighth grade to high school, a different diagnostic tool is used to measure students’ academic progress. District 113A and Lemont High School both can take great pride in the results for this year’s freshman class.

The EXPLORE test is designed to create a baseline measure for students’ long-term academic assessment. Lemont High School administers the exam to first-semester freshmen and COMMUNITY continues to measure stuVOICE dents’ growth with the PLAN test during their sophomore Susban year and the ACT during their Birkenmaier junior year. These exams all are useful in predicting a student’s college readiness.

For the third-straight year, Lemont High School freshman students’ EXPLORE scores have improved, with gains having been made in English, mathematics, reading and science.

In November, 79 percent of the school’s freshmen — most of whom were students at Old Quarry Middle School — scored in the upper quartiles, the highest percentage since 2005. While the students took the exam as ninth-graders, its results accurately measure the skills students developed before entering Lemont High School.

The credit for continually increasing student achievement should be shared among all school personnel and parents. Teachers and administrators have worked to align curriculum to best meet student needs. Teaching has become more differentiated, so each child is engaged in learning and challenged at a level that makes them strive for greater knowledge.

Alignment of this instruction begins at kindergarten or earlier, and the resulting effects are cumulative. The quality of teaching is further enhanced as teachers use each child’s assessment data to adjust their instruction to ensure a solid base for learning is in place.

Parent engagement also is critical to student learning and growth. Throughout the year, all District 113A schools offer workshops for parents to come in and learn about ways they can enhance their child’s learning. Most parents are surprised about how schooling has changed since they were students themselves.

For example, components of algebra now are taught at the first grade level. The implementation of the Common Core Learning Standards certainly will raise the bar on what children need to know at each grade level, and we invite the community to learn more about these exciting changes by visiting District 113A’s website, www.sd113a.org.

Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves expressed confidence over the village’s economic future for the next year during his State of the Village address delivered March 6. Hosted by the Lemont Area Chamber of Commerce, the event was held at Crystal Grand Banquets in Lemont. Reaves outlined the growth Lemont has experienced over the past year and demonstrated how village officials expect this progress to continue.

The Men’s Clubs of St Alphonsus, St Patrick, and SS Cyril & Methodius parishes and the Lemont Knights of Columbus recently participated in a Lenten day of reflection. The Rev. Thomas Loya of the Church of the Annunciation in Homer Glen led a spirited and informative discussion. The presentation centered on the history of the Western and Eastern branches of the Catholic Church, from the earliest days of the church to the present. It was an opportune event for the four groups to familiarize themselves with each other and share a common bond during this Holy Season for all Catholics.

Autoimmune condition?

Living with an autoimmune disorder can afect every part of your life. It keeps you from enjoying the good things in life… time with your kids, grandkids, activities like goling, 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. here is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders, but you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY. My name is Dr. Jefrey 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 sufering with any of these autoimmune disorders?

• Hashimotos hroiditis • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Graves Disease • Multiple Sclerosis • Scleroderma • Sjogren’s Syndrome • Type 1 Diabetes • Myasthenia Gravis • Ankylosing Spondylitis • Perniscious Anemia

• Lupus • ALS • Psoriasis • Vasculitis • Celiac Disease • Crohn’s Disease • Addison’s Disease • Urticaria (Hives) • Eczema • Raynauds

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 efects. hese side efects 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? here is a time to use medications but not before a NATURAL way to manage the underlying imbalance.

So how do I help people with autoimmune disorders? I use a combination of speciic NEUROLOGICAL protocols and NUTRITION recommendations… Neuro-Metabolic herapy.

Your Brain (nervous System) controls all other systems of the body. It controls your immune system. digestive system, endocrine (hormone) 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. here are 2 parts to the front line defense of your immune system… TH1 (white blood cells) and TH2 (antibody response). hese 2 parts should work in balance together. But when you are sufering from an autoimmune disorder, one part is out of balance (dominant). his leads to an imbalance in TH3 which in turn leads to an autoimmune response.

Testimonials I was diagnosed with Graves Disease (autoimmune 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. hrough 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.

Samantha R. I sufered from unbearable itching caused by Hives (chronic autoimmune Urticaria) for over 33 years. Steroid medications helped the symptoms temporarily but the side efects were bad.

Ater an in-depth blood and metabolic analysis, Dr. Forzley found the cause of my problem. Ater 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 herapy can manage autoimmune conditions by: 1) inding and balancing the underlying cause.

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

3) using natural therapies that work with your body.

I can work with your immune system NATURALLY and balance the TH1, TH2, TH3 and 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 speciic recommendation based on those tests.

Guess what stimulates TH1?Vitamin C. But if you are TH1 dominant, Taking vitamin C will WORSEN your immune response. 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 don’t treat or cure autoimmune disorders.

By using speciic neurological and nutritional protocols, I help to decrease your body’s inlammation, detoxify your body, balance TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17 which NATURALLY boosts your immune system. THAT is how I address autoimmune disorders.

Call for your FREE 30 minute consultation: Tuesday, March 26 or Thursday, Go to my website, Lemontnaturalhealthcare.com, and click on “Autoimmune” for a presentation about my Autoimmune Recovery Program.

Quarryman 10 Mile & 5k returns on April 13 LEMONT — The Advocate

Good Samaritan Quarryman 10 Mile & 5k presented by Dick Pond Athletics is returning to Lemont on for its eighth year on Saturday, April 13, and is open for registration.

The race date has been moved to April 13, from its traditional Saturday before Mother’s Day, to accommodate local businesses and the very busy May race schedule, said race director Dave Fako.

The organizers also made minor changes to the Quarryman race course. The primary change is turning Lemont Village Hall into the center for all race activities.

“It will serve as the packet pickup location, as the start/ finish line and post-race awards/party area. All activities for the race will be centrally located at Village Hall,” Fako said. “This improves safety, creates one central location for all activities, allows Stephen Street to remain open during the race and lets us to reopen Main Street west of Stephen Street by 9 a.m.”

Returning this year is the Double Dare Challenge with the Waterfall Glen Xtreme 10.

Also, because of last year’s cancellation because of lighting, the race is offering significant discounts to 2012 registrants to accommodate them for the cancellation.

The Quarryman, which has been rated “Best Hills” among Chicagoland’s running races, offers elite athletes, age group competitors and fitness runners a different, challenging course in Lemont’s unique, scenic and small-town setting.

The races start and finish in historic downtown Lemont.

The course winds through the scenic and hilly historic neighborhoods of Lemont.

Registration and information about the Quarryman is found at www.quarrymanchallenge. com.

LEMONT — U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-3rd District, of Western Springs, recently met with officials from Metra and lawyers from the Surface Transportation Board to discuss the options available for putting more pressure on Canadian National Railway to allow Metra to run more trains on the line.

This is a continuation of his efforts to improve and expand service on Metra’s Heritage Corridor Line, which runs through Lemont. Residents and members of the village government have urged officials with Metra, CN and the federal government to offer more commuter train service along the Heritage Corridor Line.

The senior member from Illinois on the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, Lipinski also had requested of CN that CEO Claude Mongeau come to a meeting to discuss improving commuter service. CN is the Canadian company that owns and manages the Heritage Corridor Line. CN said the company had no one available to participate in the meeting with Metra and the STB. “After spending many months and countless hours fighting to get Heritage Corridor riders the service they deserve, I am left with no other choice but to begin exploring next steps, including legislative action that could give Metra more power to force CN to accommodate

additional Metra trains on its tracks,” Lipinski said. “Early last year, I was able to get CN to sit down with Metra to discuss improving on-time performance on the line and the performance has been much improved.

“But for more than two years, I have been working with all of the stakeholders along the line to find a solution that allows one more Metra train in the morning and one more train in the evening.

This is a modest request that would still put the level of service on the Heritage Corridor far below Metra’s other commuter lines. Metra and

two dozen local officials have been supportive in this effort, but CN has continued to drag its feet. CN continues to cite a study that they conducted themselves to claim that $150 million of infrastructure improvements would need to be made to add six trains. While that study is questionable on its own, we are now only asking for the addition of two trains, not six.”

The Heritage Corridor Line runs between Joliet and Chicago’s Union Station, with stops in Lockport, Lemont, Willow Springs, Summit and plans for a new Romeoville station in the works. It operates six trains a day, three inbound in the morning and three outbound in the evening.

Restaurant reviews

Options for all tastes at Nicksons Eatery I went into Nicksons Eatery in La Grange with every intention of ordering off the standard menu. In fact, I rarely take advantage of specials, figuring my best odds of an enjoyable meal are with something that the chef makes every day, and has mastered.

But the prospect of a brisket taco was too attractive to pass up. And in this instance, my risk-taking very much paid off.

Nicksons’ lunchtime menu features a number of salads, sandwiches, flatbreads and exotic burgers. Seeing that they’re not content to simply drop a slab of meat on a bun, I was torn between the “cdk family farmed pasture raised burger,” which features crispy onion, smoked mozzarella, sriracha mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato on a pretzel bun — or “the nicksons burger,” which includes a half-pound of Midwest Angus beef, shredded lettuce, tomato, garlic herb mayo and Wisconsin cheddar on a soft bun.

After the colleague who had accompanied me placed his order for a shrimp po’ boy, our server could tell that I was struggling with my decision.

The Bourbon Street shrimp po’ boy at Nicksons Eatery in La Grange features fried shrimp, shredded lettuce, tomato and pepper basil remoulade.

Technically, this is from the dinner menu, he volunteered. Our special is brisket tacos …

Aha! A special that the chef makes every day.

Relieved to be offered a way out of my conundrum, I ordered the tacos. I was not disappointed in my choice.

The savory meat was tender and moist, the corn relish topping complemented it perfectly, and the portion was just the right size — big enough to sate my hunger, but no so large I felt like a glutton. The guacamole and green chile sauces on the side were great options for dipping, too — having a mild and slightly spicy option made for a lively, flavorful experience.

My colleague’s shrimp po’ boy came served on a large, perfectly toasted bun. It was loaded with fried shrimp, tomato and lettuce and a tasty

sauce. The sandwich came with a choice of sides.

“At first I didn’t think I’d be able to finish it all,” my colleague said. “But it was so good, I forced myself to clean my plate.”

Both meals came with some fantastic fries, perfectly seasoned to be tasty without overwhelming.

Nicksons Eatery, right on the main strip on South La Grange Road, has a welcoming decor with hardwood floors and decorative tin ceilings. It has a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.

According to the website, the chef likes to rotate the menus seasonally, so be sure to check online before you go to see what their current offerings are.

Aside from the tacos, the current dinner menu also includes braised beef short ribs, sage and sourdough crusted pork loin, native plank salmon and a number of other options, in addition to the lunchtime delights.

Ultimately, I couldn’t resist trying one of those burgers, too, so I ordered the “cdk family farmed pasture raised

While it’s not generally fair to judge a meal after it’s been refrigerated and reheated, it made for a much better lunch than I’m accustomed to when I stay in the office for my meal. As delicious as it was, I can only imagine how much better it would’ve been if I’d eaten it at the restaurant.

‘Full Circle’ to bring love and war to suburban stage

By ALLISON HORNE msleditorial@shawmedia.com Exploring the dark shadows cast by World War II and the Holocaust is “Full Circle,” the latest production by Wheaton Drama. Adapted by Peter Stone, it was written by Erich Maria Remarque, the disillusioned World War I veteran who penned “All Quiet on the Western Front,” later banned by the Nazis.

“Full Circle” picks up in 1945 war-torn Germany with a young woman named Anna, who struggles with her identity and with finding a way to hang on to the will to live despite the despair around her.

When an escaped concentration camp prisoner shows up at her door looking for a place to stay, Anna takes him in reluc-

See the show What: Wheaton Drama presents “Full Circle,” a look at survival, responsibility, hope and love in war-torn Berlin Where: Playhouse 111, 111 N. Hale St., Wheaton When: 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, 3 p.m. Sundays (except March 31) now through April 7 Tickets: $13 to $16; www. wheatondrama.org, 630-260-1820 tantly. Lisa Dawn Foertsch of Downers Grove plays the complicated role of Anna.

“She has a great growth throughout the show,” Foertsch says. “In the beginning she is kind of numb to everything, because she’s been through this whirlwind of losing her

husband to seeing death and destruction and loss. But she has this extreme need to survive — even though she’s closed down to the world and is numb to the gunshots and violence around her.”

But the story isn’t just full of sadness. There are several characters who integrate humor, such as Koerner, played

by Lars Timpa of Wood Dale.

“Koerner is absurd,” Timpa says. “He’s the Nazi that is in charge of keeping record of who is alive and who is dead. He’s a Nazi that still believes they can actually win the war. There will actually be a few laughs in the show — they are dark, but they are laughs.”

Not only is Timpa bringing his comedic skills into play, but he also helps the cast hone the German and Russian accents

they have to conquer. “ I t ’ s been really challenging (learning) a German accent,” Foertsch says. “Especially when you get in the moment with the emotions, you revert back to how you normally would talk. It’s been tricky, but it’s been fun.”

The cast members are excited about the show and are standing behind it, because they believe it’s an important story that needs to be told.

“In theater, musicals sell better than comedy, and comedy sells better than drama,” Timpa says. “It would be nice if

I’m sure there are people in these kinds of situations trying to survive all over the world right now. It plays to all audiences.”

Lewis-recruit Carly Jaworski fires a pitch during practice last week. The senior returns for her third season in Lemont’s pitching circle.

SOFTBALL PREVIEW | LEMONT

Jaworski leads league repeat bid

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT — After repeatedly set t l i n g f o r s e c o n d place behind Oak Forest in the South Suburban Blue Conference, the Lemont softball team broke through in 2012 and grabbed a share of the league title.

Now, with a relatively youthful roster, the Indians will try to make it two in a row.

“Hopefully we will be competitive again in the conference,” said Lemont coach Chris Traina. “The way they are bonding together, that chemistry is good to see. Every coach

Meet the Indians

20-9

Coach: Chris Traina 2012 record: 25-10 (16-3 in the South Suburban) Top players: Carly Jaworski sr. P/IF/OF Alyssa Molaro sr. 1B/3B Lauren May so. C Rylie Jay so. SS Lizzy Forzley jr. 1B

Record posted by Carly Jaworski in her first two seasons as a varsity pitcher for Lemont. As the staff ace last spring, she went 13-7 with a 2.52 ERA while batting .420 with five homers and 36 RBIs

First game: 11 a.m. Saturday at Homewood Flossmoor says their players are hard workers but with this group, when you tell them something, they really concentrate on it.

“Their work ethic is outstanding in all aspects of the game. They want to fine tune themselves.”

A major reason for optimism lies with the return of a veteran inside the pitching circle. Senior Carly Jaworski, who will continue her career at Lewis University, is back for a third year.

“I think great things are in store for her,” the coach said. “Every year she has gotten better and better.

She is a hard worker.”

Surrounding Jaworski is a strong core of players, including Alyssa Molaro, Lizzy Forzley, Lauren May and Rylie Jay. After that, there are a few question marks with a roster that features just four seniors.

“We will see who will step up,” Traina said. “All of them are working really hard and once the games get started, we will see them in game situations.

“Offensively, we will have to wait and see. But we should be OK. We did lose some big

bats so again, we will see who steps up. And defensively, we should be pretty solid.”

As for the conference, while Oak Forest continues to be the stiffest competition, the other teams in the league aren’t pushovers.

“Every year, the teams are getting tougher and tougher,” Traina said. “Of course you have Oak Forest and then Tinley Park, we always have good games with them. Reavis, their coach has done a nice job, and Richards is tough too.”

Another goal of the team is to advance further in the postseason. Lemont fell to Providence in a regional final in 2012.

Season-opening win shows progress, room to grow

By SCOTT SCHMID

Game box

sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT — Having competed in one of the toughest boys volleyball conferences in Illinois as a player at Naperville North, Zach Splitt realizes the challenge he faces as Lemont’s head coach.

With most of his roster not playing the sport year round, the team’s experience is simply not at the level of the best teams in the area. But that doesn’t mean the Indians haven’t already made great strides from last season to now. They kicked off the 2013 campaign Tuesday night with a 25-15, 25-18 South Suburban Conference win over Argo.

A year ago, Lemont began the spring with a three-game loss to Argo.

“At a lot of schools, kids play club and they play all year round,” said Splitt, who has two players competing full-time with a club. “The kids I have don’t. But the guys physically and mentally have committed to this.

“The next step for us is becoming smart volleyball players, learning the technical side of it. Rotational stuff, things like that.”

In Tuesday’s opener, the Indians showed a wealth of offensive weapons with Mike Krueger, Alex Wontorczyk and Dominiak Douhan combining for 16 kills. Krueger and

Lemont 25 25 Argo 15 18 Kills: Alex Wontorczyk 6; Mike Krueger 5, Douhan Dominiak 5 Assists: Ryan Leadley 18

Wontorczyk also had two blocks apiece. Setter Ryan Leadley added 10 service points, including three aces, and 18 assists.

As far as things to work on as the season progresses, Lemont had eight serves go out or into the net while also committing eight violations (either net or rotation).

“We’ve got a lot of offensive talent,” the coach said. “Passing was my biggest worry coming in and it wasn’t as bad as I expected. We do have some technical points to work at.

“We had overlap violations and missed serves. But we were able to overcome that in the second game.

The biggest thing, win or lose, we have to learn from each match. We just have to slow it down and clean it up.”

Lemont was scheduled to face Richards Thursday before heading to Joliet West for an invitational Saturday. The Indians return home Monday for a matchup with Oak Lawn.

Indians boys, girls claim runner-up honors at home SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LEMONT — A pair of individual winners led the Lemont boys track team to runner-up honors in the indoor meet it hosted Saturday.

The Indians scored 92 points to edge Romeoville by one point and finished behind only Sandburg (171).

Rory Cunningham captured the high jump title after clearing 6 feet, 4 inches.

Justin Stanwyck placed first in the pole vault (12-6), half a foot ahead of teammate Paul Rachwalski in third.

Stanwyck was the runner-up in the 800-meter run (2:12.06), and Evan Ganzer crossed the line in fifth (2:16.26). Scott Matulik added a second-place finish in the 1,600 (4:50.99), and Scott Franklin was fifth (5:00.65).

Eric Whatley was second in the 200 (25.06).

Sebastian Bialas earned third in the long jump (18-3), and Matt Dunne was fourth (18-0). Alex Micco soared to sixth in the triple jump (361), and Ed Kostrubala was sixth in the shot put (39-6.5).

Luke Heatherington placed

third in the 3,200 (10:46), and Andrew Kramer was sixth (11:14). Also contributing points were Whatley (fourth in the 400), and Jaron Fay (sixth in the 55 hurdles) The 4 x 800 and 4 x 400 relay teams were third, and the 4 x 200 relay finished sixth.

Lemont girls Lemont’s girls track team also finished in second place Saturday at home, scoring 117 points to finish behind Providence (133).

Quarryman run returns with new date, course changes SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LEMONT — The Advocate Good Samaritan Quarryman 10 Mile & 5K will be back in Lemont for its eighth year on Saturday, April 13, and is now open for registration.

The race date was originally scheduled for the Saturday before Mother’s Day but has been moved to April 13 to accommodate local businesses and the busy May race schedule, according to race director Dave Fako.

A few small changes have been made to the Quarryman race course, the primary one being turning Lemont Village Hall into the center for all race activities.

“It will serve as the packet-pick-up location, as the start/finish line and post-

race awards/party area,” Fako said in a press release.

“All activities for the race will be centrally located at Village Hall.”

Returning this year is the Double Dare Challenge with the Waterfall Glen Xtreme 10.

Also, because of last year’s cancellation because of lighting, the race is offering significant discounts to 2012 registrants.

The Quarryman offers elite athletes, age group competitors and fitness runners a challenging course.

The races start and finish in downtown Lemont and the course winds through the town’s scenic and hilly neighborhoods.

Registration and information about the Quarryman can be found at www. quarrymanchallenge.com.

DRAWING WITH MARK! LET’S DRAW A GROUNDHOG! Start with basic shapes.

Add more shapes that will help “outline” the features of our groundhog’s face.

Barnyardbuddies W

Use these basic shapes to start curving and rounding out the groundhog’s face.

here does your food come from? A grocery store? A restaurant?

Your backyard? Does it come from the ground, or an animal?

Much of the food we eat starts out on a farm. Farmers grow

grains like wheat, barley and rye that we use to make cereal and bread. They grow corn that we eat on the cob, and in many other food products. They grow tons of vegetables, from tomatoes and peppers to potatoes

and lettuce. Any way you slice it, much of the food you eat every day had its roots in the soil.

But farms are more than just growing crops. Many farms have animals, too, from dairy cows to horses, pigs and roosters.

Plan your farm Use the list below to plan your farm. Decide what animals you will raise and what crops you will grow.

You aren’t limited to what’s listed, so if you have another ideas, go for it! But remember, you need to feed your family and your animals with the crops you grow. Then draw your farm on a new piece of paper. Make sure to include all your animals and crops, and don’t forget a house, barn and silo.

CHICKENS Chickens What food will you grow lay eggs, which we eat in on you farm that your animals many different ways. Chickens will eat? are also used for meat.

What animals will you raise?

Continue to follow the shape lines to make an appealing character.

Add more detail. Then erase the shape lines.

Q. What food can you make using what your animals produce?

PIG Pigs eat a lot of food so they can get very, very fat. Many parts of the pig are used for food.

HORSE Horses are also used to round up animals in the fields, and to ride.
