Lemont Artists Guild member Kelly Kopacz’s paintings are being displayed at the Lemont Center for the Arts during October.

Lemont Artists Guild member shares her passion for painting

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Kelly Kopacz’s thoughts often turn to her art when she is not painting.

“Even if you stop for a while, your mind is always racing with new ideas of what to do,” she said. “You doodle.

I’ll bring a notebook to work.”

Kopacz, a member of the Lemont Artists Guild, is the featured artist for October at the Lemont Center for the Arts.

Her pieces consist of acrylic paintings that use texture.

“I feel like her work has a lot of passion in it and she really expresses herself in her

artwork,” said Lemont Artists Guild President Liz Popp.

Kopacz said painting is a way for her to escape.

“You can paint for hours and if you don’t have a clock – one time I did it and it was like ‘Oh my gosh, it’s almost twelve and I have to go to work tomorrow,’” she said.

Kopacz, who grew up in Berwyn, said her passion for art started when she won a “Keep Our Town Beautiful” contest as a grade school student.

“After that, all I thought about was art,” she said. “It’s weird how one thing can change everything.”

Though she earned her col-

lege degree in graphic design and business, Kopacz said her passion has always been with fine art.

She joined the Lemont Artists Guild about a year-and-ahalf ago.

Popp said Kopacz is an energetic and active member.

“She has brought a lot of fun and spunk for our guild,” she said.

Kopacz is the group’s representative to the Alliance of Fine Arts and is the editor of the Alliance’s newsletter. She is also a member of the Addison Art Guild and the Elmhurst Artists Guild.

She is part of several online art communities that

LEMONT – Four potential bomb threats in Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A since last March have the district and local law enforcement trying to determine how to prevent future incidents.

Superintendent Sue Birkenmaier said the district is concerned about the unusu-

al number of occurrences as a threat to student safety and a disruption to their education.

Old Quarry Middle School Principal Bill Caron said he is worried that there are a couple of students responsible for these threats, which the schools need to take seriously each time they happened.

Of the four threats, the district and the Lemont Police Department have discovered the person responsible for one

incident at Oakwood School in May. The other three were written on the bathroom wall in Old Quarry.

During the district’s Board of Education meeting on Oct. 2, parent Robyn Horn said she is afraid that with the number of bomb threats, the students will stop taking them seriously.

“I’m concerned with it turning into an epidemic,” she said.

Caron said students are reminded of the behavior guidelines in the student handbook and code of conduct throughout the year.

Lemont Police Commander Greg Smith said Police Chief Kevin Shaughnessy visited each grade in Old Quarry last week to talk about the seriousness of making threats.

“I think that we have been very diligent in explaining the seriousness of this event and the consequences and how the consequences can be severe,” Birkenmaier said.

According to the district’s emergency response guidelines, those consequences may include suspension or expulsion.

Smith said legal consequences could include an appearance in juvenile court if the student has a criminal record. More likely, the offense would result in fines and community service, he said.

The district is also looking into additional security measures, Birkenmaier said.

“As we are emerging from our financial difficulties ... clearly security is an area we are looking at how we can best make our investment,” she said.

Security investments could include improved internal and external communication systems, additional security cameras and key card access systems.

Though a majority of the bomb threats have been written on bathroom walls, Birkenmaier said the district would not put security cameras in the bathrooms.

In accordance with the district’s emergency response guidelines, the building is inspected for writing and vandalism each morning, staff patrol student areas throughout the day and students are required to sign in and out of class when

Irritable Bowel, Celiac, Crohn’s or Colitis?

Are you afraid to leave your house due to an unpredictable bowel?

Have you tried diferent treatments but continue to sufer?

Do you know the essentials for a healthy digestive system?

Have you given up and decided to just live with it? he digestive system assimilates food (carbs, fats and proteins) to produce energy. It breaks down food into nutrient forms that your body can absorb. It uses enzymes, good bacteria and hydrochloric acid to break down food to a usable form. Your gut is a barrier, a tube that starts in your mouth, continues as your esophagus, small intestine, large intestine and rectum. 80% of your immune system is in your gut. When you break down the barrier (gut lining), toxins can “leak” into the blood stream leading to an immune response, inlammation and food allergies. Hippocrates, the father of medicine said… “look to the gut, there will you ind the origin of almost all human illness.”

Hi, 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 nervous system, immune system, endocrine system (hormones), diet essentials (Neuro-ÿMetabolic Care), manage the underlying cause and use natural therapies to manage digestive disorders. here are many essentials required for proper digestion.

Let’s talk about a few…

Zinc is necessary to make hydrochloric acid (HCL). HCL is needed to break down food (protein) in the stomach and for production of methyl groups. Methyl groups turn on tumor suppressor genes and turn of oncogenes leading to potential cancer growth. If HCL is deicient, this results in poor digestion and a many imbalances due to a deiciency of methyl groups. HCL deiciency also leads to growth of pathological bacteria like H. Pylori, which can cause gastritis, stomach ulcers and possibly stomach cancer.

Probiotics (good bacteria) are normally found in the gut.

Optimal levels are needed for a proper functioning digestive system. hese probiotics are also part of your immune

system. hey play an important role in the protective barrier in your gut. Your gut makes up 80% of your immune system due to this barrier system. Antibiotics kill pathologic bacteria and infections but they also kill good bacteria and cause gut dysbiosis (imbalance). his dysbiosis can lead to pathologic bacterial, yeast and parasitic infections as well as food allergies.

Digestive system inlammation is associated with IBS, Crohn’s, Celiac and Ulcerative Colitis. It is due to stress, poor diet, toxins and food allergies. Digestive inlammation leads to production of cytokines (inlammatory cells). hese cytokines travel in the blood to the brain and inlame the brain cells. he brain (mesencephalon) in turn controls the digestive system. his leads to a vicious cycle resulting in an inlammatory cascade which exponentially worsens over time. Successfully managing digestive conditions involves balancing the nervous system, digestive system and immune system as well as improving the diet, decreasing gut inlammation and detoxifying the body.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a digestive disorder that includes abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating and alternating constipation and diarrhea. he cause is unknown but theories include toxic overload, intestinal infections, inlammation from stress and poor diet generalized condition of the digestive system poor signaling from the brain to the digestive system for proper function.

Medications to treat digestive disorders can weaken your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer. hese medications may give you symptom relief but have side efects and DO NOT ADDRESS the UNDERLYING CAUSE of your condition.

Testimonial As someone who lives with chronic nausea, poor digestion and anxiety, I assumed I was out of options when countless doctors told me that there was nothing else they could do for me. hey told me it was likely all in my head. hen I visited Dr. Forzley and he told me from the initial consultation that he was very conident he could help me. I was so excited that I cried. No other doctor has ever been so much on my side. Now, 8 weeks into treatment, I am nausea free, anxiety free and my digestion is normal. I have started living a life I never thought I could live. My body is a machine, slowed and dirtied by processed foods and environmental toxins.

But with the help of Dr. Forzley, my body is on the way back to an optimal state for long term health and happiness.

Veronica M.

Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is a digestive condition that involves gluten sensitivity like Celiac Disease but is not an autoimmune disorder. It involves digestive symptoms (pain, bloating…), fatigue, joint pains as well as neurologic symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, poor memory, brain fog and diiculty concentrating.

Celiac Disease, Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are autoimmune diseases. An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your body instead of protecting it. here is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders. But you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY and decrease the efects of the tissue destruction.

If you have an autoimmune disease like Celiac, Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis and you do not balance and calm down the autoimmune destruction, your immune system can attack other tissues and cause multiple autoimmune disorders. It is common for people with an autoimmune disorder to have multiple autoimmune diseases for this reason.

Medications are not always the long term answer.

Holistic therapy can manage digestive conditions by: 1) inding and balancing the underlying cause and…

2) using natural therapies that work with your body.

LEMONT – When Joseph O’Malley of Lemont received the letter from Municipal Collections of America, he thought it was a scam.

The letter said his wife owed the Village of Lemont $13.50 for an unpaid parking ticket from 1994.

O’Malley, a retired Cook County deputy sheriff, said his initial thought was “maybe this is some kind of scam to get your credit cards or something.”

He went to the village hall to inquire about the letter and was told it was legitimate.

Lemont Police Chief Kevin Shaughnessy said the village switched to the new collection agency last year.

• TICKET Continued from page 7 on an unpaid parking ticket.

“There are no statues of limitations on parking tickets and we just follow what our client desires on how far back they go,” he said.

O’Malley said he then called the collection agency to see if he could contest the ticket.

He said he could not remember receiving the ticket and that he was sure he would have paid it if he had received it.

O’Malley said the woman with the agency was argumentative and hung up on him when he said he “was going to make a big thing out of this.”

“She was telling me I was wasting my time,” he said.

Wood said it is difficult for people to contest parking tickets once the notice from the debt collector has been sent.

Municipalities typically request his company sends out the notices after they have given the ticket recipient a chance to contest the ticket and have heard nothing, he said.

When Shaughnessy heard about O’Malley’s complaint, he contacted him to see if he could resolve the issue.

“I told him due to the circumstances, I would ask the administrator to dismiss it,” Shaughnessy said.

Shaughnessy said he made the decision because of the unusually long time since O’Malley received the ticket.

“We’ve received one or two calls for four- or five-year-old parking tickets, but not like this,” he said.

O’Malley said he was very pleased that Shaughnessy took the time to personally address his complaint.

“The chief was real nice and I’m glad that it worked out,” he said.

Birkenmaier said the district is focusing on security investments it is financially capable of implementing.

“Some of the things that are really good practices could require building redesign,” she said.

One way Lemont police could increase its presence in the school is by receiving a federal grant for a school resource officer.

According to the district, a uniformed drug education officer was present in the building during both the incidents that happened this school year.

Smith said having an officer at the school full time might deter some bad behavior. The officer also would have a better understanding of the school and its students, should a similar incident occur.

“It would help build a rapport, not only with the students, but with the teachers as well,” he said.

In the meantime, Birkenmaier said the district has been talking to students, parents and staff about the seriousness of these threats and

March 12: Old Quarry Middle School went on a soft lockdown because of a message written on a bathroom wall saying the school would be bombed the next day. An investigation of the school turned up no credible threats.

May 5: Parents were informed of a bomb threat written on the exterior of Oakwood School. Security was increased at the school for the next few days. An Old Quarry student later admitted to writing the message.

Sept. 24: Old Quarry was on a soft lockdown for 30 minutes after a student saw scratched out words that looked like “school bomb.”

School officials were not able to read the words but brought in investigators as a precautionary measure. Nothing out of the ordinary was found.

Lemont resident Mary Wheatley was surprised by the presentation of her son’s first firefighter jacket on Sept. 28 at her home.

Lemont resident Mary Wheatley, mother of fallen Chicago firefighter Christopher Wheatley, received a wonderful surprise when her son’s first firefighter jacket was presented to her Sept. 28 at her home by members of the Chicago Fire Department, Chicago Police Department, Lemont Police Department and Illinois State Troopers. We commend this lovely gesture honoring the mother of a son lost in service.

Scott Collis, a radar meteorologist with Argonne National Laboratory, was recently named one of Popular Science magazine’s “Brilliant 10” for his climate and meteorology research. Congratulations to Collis for this exciting professional recognition.

know that many folks will try, but believing that the vacuum cleaner solves every problem, will eventually use it, unaware that mercury will vaporize and pass right through any vacuum’s filter and go into the home’s air to be inhaled by the family. We hope that the relatively few Americans who made out financially on contracts with Chinese factories to manufacture CFLs for us will show some remorse when thousands of Americans develop central nervous system impairments from inhaling mercury into their lungs.

The caller who states that Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution provides that ratified treaties become the law of the land is correct.

However, that caller is incorrect in stating such law would trump the Bill of Rights. Any law, no matter how it is enacted, that violates any part of the Bill of Rights would be declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court and therefore be null and void.

I’m confused. Our larger washrooms now with the high toilets and the hand rails are those for people with disabilities, or for families who don’t want to take the time to use the regular stall? I can’t tell you how many times I have been cut off, with a mother and a child, as I’m trying to make my way to the back of the washroom where the bathroom stall for people with disabilities is supposed to be. Why that has been pushed to the back of most washrooms, I don’t understand.

But it seems like it’s no longer a bathroom stall for people with disabilities, it’s a bathroom stall for people with families and children in tow, and I have to wait longer for that space while everybody goes ahead of me.

Soon it will be illegal to sell any light bulb except the compact fluorescents that contain mercury.

Eventually all homes will use these CFLs in all their light fixtures.

When a CFL stops working, we hope that the resident will take it to a recycling center, but today’s busy citizens could be too busy and will throw it in the trash. And when more CFLs are dropped and break, will the special cleanup procedure be followed? We

District 113A considers leasing Central School

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – A committee to determine future uses of Central School is suggesting Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A lease the vacant building.

During an Oct. 2 Board of Education meeting, committee chair and board member Patrick Kerrigan said the Lemont Park District has expressed interest in renting the space.

“Representatives from The Lemont Park District recently attended a meeting with 113A representatives to gather information regarding a leasing opportunity at the site of Central School,” Lemont Park District Board President Pat Sexton said in a statement. “The district is currently analyzing this opportunity and deciphering if this would be a good fit for the Park District.”

The District 113A Board

suggested using a short term lease in case the district requires use of the building in the future.

Kerrigan said the committee will consult with a lawyer to determine the rental rate.

Kerrigan also reported the cost to repair the school’s gym roof may be less than initially estimated.

He said a roofer inspected the roof and determined it may only need repairs instead

“The roofer said it was in very good condition for its age,” Kerrigan said.

The district’s initial estimate to replace the roof was $150,000, but the roofer gave an estimate of $5,700 to $5,800 to complete more minor repairs, Kerrigan said.

The board advised the committee to obtain other estimates and determine whether it would be more cost effective to replace the roof.

Restaurant reviews

Great Mediterranean food at Greek Islands LOMBARD – My first reaction upon entering the Greek Islands restaurant on a recent rainy, chilly evening was, “Wow, this place is popular.”

The wide, brightly lit entryway just inside the front door opened up to several friendly looking dining rooms, each three-quarters full or more. As we were led to our table, my companion and I were amazed at the number of people who chose to venture out to the restaurant on 22nd Street despite the unpleasant weather.

We soon found out why.

Greek Islands combines great ethnic food, the professionalism to match any chain restaurant, and the charm and attentiveness of a high-quality local eatery.

My knowledge of Greek cuisine beyond gyros was limited, but my companion pointed out a few options that sounded delicious. We shared a delectable appetizer of pork skewers (the provided lemon wedges really brought out the meat’s flavor), and then spent a good 15 minutes trying to decide between all the appealing options.

Greek Islands had a “Create a Combo” menu section that ultimately helped us come to a decision. I selected the moussaka (baked eggplant and ground meat casserole) and the loukaniko (sausage flavored with orange rind). My companion chose the spinach cheese pie and the dolmades – stuffed grape leaves filled with rice, ground meat and herbs. The combos were served with a potato side baked in olive oil, lemon and oregano.

Everything was tasty, but we each had a favorite.

The moussaka had so many layers of flavor, I could easily see myself making a full meal of it on a future visit.

My companion really enjoyed the spinach cheese pie, which stuffs filo dough with spinach and feta cheese.

We’d earlier seen a server

You get to inspect about 15 different options on the tray, including expected choices such as tiramisu and baklava, a very enticing three-layer chocolate pie, and some more exotic dishes. I didn’t catch the names of the selections that my dining companion and I chose, but

– after we traded plates. We each preferred the dish the other had chosen.

The service at Greek Islands is truly outstanding.

My water glass was never empty, plates were removed promptly when empty, and we were offered more bread and drinks at regular intervals. Somehow, they manage this attentiveness without giving the impression that they’re trying to rush you

out the door, which is a neat trick.

I’m still not ready to call myself an expert on Greek cuisine, but I’m definitely looking forward to continuing my education at Greek Islands.

Bostic, Greene are Bears linebackers in waiting

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com Jon Bostic and Khaseem Greene entered the NFL together at the same position with the same team.

They take extra reps after practice together and, on gamedays, they take a lap around the field a couple hours before kickoff.

“I think it was before the preseason game, I saw him taking a lap. I’m like ‘all right, let me add that to my [routine],’ so I started running with him and next thing we know, we do it every game,” Greene said.

From when they were drafted through the preseason, Bostic and Greene – especially Bostic – received plenty of media attention and then playing time.

Since the season has start-

ed, though, neither has played a single defensive snap, and they’re keeping each other company as the future Bears linebackers.

“It’s pretty simple. We both came in as rookies, came in as linebackers. We pretty much just do everything together,” Greene said.

The two first met at the scouting combine in Indianapolis and roomed together in a hotel when first arriving in Chicago. In the preseason opener, Bostic returned an interception for a touchdown and Greene led the team with five tackles, including one for a loss.

They exploded on the scene in August, but don’t have to rush their development in the fall with veterans D.J. Williams and James Anderson ahead of them, so they can learn the ropes together.

“We hang out a lot. It helps us with football as well as developing a friendship with one another,” Bostic said. “He knows when I’m out there, there may be one thing I may not remember and he remembers. … You start to learn how each other is and helping our game because we’re growing together.”

They understand the linebacker importance of the position in Chicago, but avoid thinking about the fact that they’re next.

“We never think about that. We definitely don’t talk about it,” Greene said. “Knowing this team in particular is traditionally known for having great linebackers. With us being young guys and being draft picks, everybody might see us going into that role in the future.

“Right now, all we can wor-

ry about is knowing our assignments in case somebody goes down and knowing special teams inside and out. …

We both know that there’s a tradition of great linebackers playing here, it’s a privilege for us to be here. It’s special.”

The future almost came sooner for Bostic, who started at middle linebacker throughout the preseason, but now cameras don’t swarm him after practice, something he said he doesn’t notice.

“One thing I really learned about [Bostic] is that he’s down to earth, a humble dude,” Greene said. “Some guys get drafted high and some guys get a little of the spotlight. When he tells you that [the media] doesn’t bother him, none of those things really bother him. … It’s good to see how guys can be humble in success.”

Bostic has noticed a similar quality about Greene during their extensive time together.

“You see most guys, if they win some of the awards he won, Defensive Player of the Year for the Big East two years in a row, their head is up here,” Bostic said, pointing to the sky. “For [Greene] to come in and still work like he’s a guy trying to make the team, it blows my mind sometimes.”

They don’t know everything about each other, though. When Greene joked that hundreds of his Twitter followers tweet at him asking to get Bostic on Twitter, the second-round pick interrupted.

“I just got on yesterday,” he said.

“I didn’t even know he was on!” Greene responded.

with that strategy occurs if Rodgers suffers a minor injury and the starter becomes unclear in a given week.

You’d be better off securing a backup with some upside, such as Pryor or Geno Smith.

4. Tony Romo (22.2): Moving Romo to No. 4 is probably an overreaction to his performance against Denver.

No matter which quarterback you put in this slot, there is a big falloff from Rodgers.

If you don’t have one of the top three guys, your backup quarterback needs to be a more viable option. The perfect complement to Romo is

Alex Smith. He faces Denver during Romo’s bye week.

5. Matt Ryan (20.4): Something is not right with Atlanta, but Ryan’s fantasy numbers have been consistent. The Falcons are off this week. Consider Andy Dalton for your No. 2 (at Buffalo).

6. Andrew Luck (18.6): We stand corrected about the Colts and Luck. They’ve beaten Seattle and San Francisco, and they are for real.

The Colts are off during week eight when Pittsburgh travels to Oakland. Consider Pryor or Roethlisberger.

7. Matthew Stafford (19): Because Stafford has an injury history, you will need a solid backup. Avoid Eli Manning and Colin Kaepernick due to a common bye week (9).

8. Tom Brady (14): Although his current points per game don’t warrant a roster spot, we feel there will be improved production. Have

a backup plan just in case.

Consider Sam Bradford.

9. Phillip Rivers (22.4) He is the third-leading scorer among QBs, but many fantasy owners still have their doubts.

The recommendation would be to believe the trends and make him your starter. Pair him with Eli or Geno Smith.

10. Robert Griffin III (18): Griffin is susceptible to injury, so be sure to pair with someone like Can Newton, Alex Smith or Russell Wilson.

11. Cam Newton (13.6): It’s been a weird year for Newton: one great week and four stinkers. Might be a good “buy-low” option.

12. Michael Vick (24.2 in 4.25 games)/Nick Foles (26.7 in .75 games): One of these guys will score some points, but we get the funny feeling that the starter is going to be a weekly guessing game, at least for a while. Wilson, Smith or Joe Flacco are options.

Five weeks into the season, injuries are beginning to mount. If you play in a 12-team league or larger, an injury to your starting quarterback can greatly diminish your shot at a title. If you have an unreliable backup, your season might be over.

The injury bug already has bitten some quarterbacks: Michael Vick and Jake Locker are temporarily sidelined and Brian Hoyer is out for the season. Matt Schaub and Christian Ponder are in danger of losing their starting jobs. Expect more drama as the season unfolds.

Although your waiver wire probably has been picked clean of all running backs with a pulse, there still may be some good quarterbacks available. If you want to contend for a fantasy

championship, you’d be wise to have a back-up plan at QB. Fantasy footballs top 12 starting quarterbacks and possible backup strategies: 1. Peyton Manning (31.8 ppg): Manning has been incredibly durable, so if your No. 2 quarterback is someone like Tony Romo, you should be looking to trade him for a solid position player. The perfect backup for Manning is Terrelle Pryor. The Broncos’ bye is week 9 when the Raiders play the Eagles.

2. Drew Brees (23.8): Pair Brees with Ryan Tannenhill of Miami. He faces Buffalo during the Saints bye week (seven).

3. Aaron Rodgers (22.3): The Packers already had their bye and Rodgers has a very limited injury history.

Consequently, you might be tempted to pair Rodgers with the Packers’ second stringer, Seneca Wallace. The problem

Lemont closes home slate with big win

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT – With a 1-3 record after four weeks, the thought of having to run the table to again reach the postseason would have been a daunting one for Lemont.

So the Indians took a one step at a time approach, and after Friday’s 41-6 victory over Hillcrest, the squad has clawed their way back to the .500 mark.

“The big thing we’ve talked about the last few weeks is going 1-0 each week and not

and say you have to win five games in a row.”

The next challenge for Lemont comes in the form of a Thornton Fractional North team that is better then its 2-4 record would indicate. This also marks the first of three straight road games to close out the regular season.

“TF North is incredibly talented,” the coach said. “They have led in the third quarter in all four of their losses.

They’ve got skill kids that are as good as any skill kids in the conference. And they’ve got really good size.”

The Indians saw all phases of the game come together in their home finale. Most importantly, Lemont did not give the ball away while generating five Hillcrest turnovers.

“I hope they saw that if they work hard, good things will happen,” Michaelsen said of his players. “And they are starting to gain some trust in each other.”

Julie Aleman and Michael Larkins paced the offense with two rushing touchdowns apiece while quarterback Chris Thompson connected with Matt Monaco for a 16-

yard score.

Senior kicker Madeleine McPartland also went 3-for-3 in extra points.

“The defense and special teams did a good job setting the offense up with good field position,” Michaelsen said, “and we were able to take advantage of that.

“Defensively, we just gave up one big play and Hillcrest has some kids who are explosive. It’s still a work in progress and we are still using different combinations of kids but Friday was a good step for the defense.”

Needing wins in at least two of the next three games to reach the postseason, and possibly all three depending on playoff points, Lemont will first square off against South Suburban Blue for Thornton Fractional North.

The Meteors have lost three games in a row after a 2-1 start, including a 4935 setback to Tinley Park in week six.

The squad has struggled most on the defensive end, yielding an average of 30.2 points per game.
