LEMONT – Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno, R-Lemont, and House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, R-Western Springs, are warning about the negative impact of State Senate Bill 16, which could cost some school districts in the Chicago area millions of dollars in state funding if passed. Radogno and Durkin spoke Sept. 26 at the DuPage Legislative Education Network of DuPage County in Glendale Heights. “It’s going to screw [local districts] over,” Durkin said. “It’s going to cut their funding, and then schools are going to be left with one of two things: raise taxes or cut teachers.” The purpose of the bill is to restructure the school funding formula, which currently distributes 44 cents for every $1 invested in education on the basis of district need, according to a report from the Senate Education Funding Advisory Committee. The other 56 cents is distributed to schools through grants not based on need. The new formula would favor districts with lower assessed property values by

Local impact State funding makes up about 6 percent of the annual revenue from Lemont School District 113A and Lemont High School District 210. According to a simulation from the Illinois State Board of Education, District 113A would lose 75 percent ($1,225,764) and District 210 would lose 72 percent ($654,832) of their state funding with the proposed new formula in Fiscal 2016, as compared to Fiscal 2013. A joint release by District 113A making 82 cents of every $1 distributed by financial need, with the exception of funds for early childhood education, construction projects and high-cost special education. “Clearly the numbers demonstrate that the current proposal for Senate Bill 16 pretty much devastates the suburban and collar county areas,” Radogno said. The Senate passed the bill in May. Radogno voted present, which she said was to show she opposed the bill as written but is open to discussion on education funding.

Superintendent Courtney Orzel and District 210 Superintendent Mary Ticknor said the decreased state funding would be “catastrophic,” particularly for District 113A. “The District 113A Board of Education and administration have worked relentlessly in recent years to put the district’s finances back in order and repair its financial standing,” the release said. “Removing this amount from District 113A’s annual budget would be a major setback.” “We certainly are interested in looking at the school funding issue,” she said. “But you don’t solve the problem by completely gutting one area of the state.” Durkin said Democratic legislators are making decisions on the bill behind closed doors, which should make residents skeptical of the law. “This should not be as politicized as the way it’s going on right now,” he said. “To me, the way that they are going about it is very similar to the way they did the legislative districting.”

Radogno said there needs to be an open discussion on education funding with teachers and administrators. “We as general assembly members certainly know something about education, but we are not in the field,” she said. “We need to bring those people who actually educate our children in to help us determine what the impact would be of legislation that we create.” Durkin said he does not know if the House has enough votes to pass the bill but thinks House Speaker Michael Madigan could find the necessary votes if he is determined. He also is afraid the bill could be passed during the lame duck session in January because of an artificial deadline. “Setting up a deadline or trying to say we need to get this done by the first week of January is a terrible disservice to everybody,” he said. Durkin said the new funding formula could ultimately drive families out of the state. “Schools are going to cut more, but you’re getting into the bigger picture of people deciding whether Illinois is the place for them and if they need to uproot either north or east,” he said.

TO THE OTHER 99 PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES: CONGRATS. We know what it takes to be named among theTop100 Public Universities by U.S.News & World Report. Being top-ranked is an honor reserved for those willing to work tirelessly, put students irst, invest in new learning environments and facilities, and attract the best faculty to lead stellar programs. Being in the top 100 is a lot of work and not something we take lightly. So to the other 99 who made the list with us, there’s one more thing we’d like to say: keep up the good work.

Fans cheer as Lemont High School celebrates homecoming Sept. 26 with a football win against Bremen.

LEMONT – The students and alumni of Lemont High School had plenty to celebrate during the homecoming weekend Sept. 26 and 27. First, the football team continued its undefeated season with an easy 54-6 win over Bremen during the homecoming game Sept. 26. The win clinched a playoff birth for the team. The homecoming dance was Sept. 27 in the school gymnasium. The theme of the dance was “A Space Jam.” Seniors Andy Podczerwinski and Alyssa Wood were named the homecoming king and queen, respectively. Other members of the court included juniors Erin Cliff and Matt Filar, sophomores Paige Terrazas and PJ Pipes and freshmen McKenna Gardner and Caleb Young. The students also were involved in several charitable activities throughout homecoming week. The seniors sold class T-shirts, raising $2,000 for the A-T Children’s Project. There also was a food drive, sale of spirit links and a 1 Mission Courtyard Concert, all benefiting charitable causes.

3 THINGS TO KNOW | DISTRICT 113A BOARD OF EDUCATION

Board discusses technology integration By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.come LEMONT – The District 113A Board of Education hosted a workshop meeting Tuesday. Several items were discussed, including:

1. Technology integration Board members saw a presentation on the district’s plans to have students and teachers better utilize technology in daily activities. The district invested in new computers and expanded the network bandwidth, but technology consultant Meg Ormiston said teachers need to learn how to best utilize these tools. She said using the computers to just print out work-

Sharing good news

One of the other points of emphasis during the technology presentation during Tuesday’s board of education meeting was using social media to share the work that students are doing in schools. District administrators and staff have already started this by creating Facebook pages and Twitter accounts, where they can share pictures of school activities.

2. Central School going to dogs?

sheets is wasting the technology that could be better used for more interactive lessons and collaboration. She said District 113A is behind other districts in in-

As the district looks at different uses for the vacant Central School, a group has expressed interest in renting the building for a dog sport event. Superintendent Courtney Orzel said the group would need three to five classrooms for two or three days.

Some board members questioned whether the potential liability for animal injuries and cleanup from the event would be worth it for a onetime event. Board member Al Malley noted the district had let the Lemont Police Department train its K-9 unit in the building. Board president Cindy Kelly said allowing the event at the school would send a good message. “It shows the district is willing to let people use the school,” she said.

3. WeatherBug on the move A WeatherBug Weather Station could be relocated from Old Quarry Middle School to the Lemont Township Community Center.

Two systems, which belong to the village of Lemont, were installed at Old Quarry and Lemont High School in 2005. The systems are primarily used to track weather and detect storms. Since 2005, the community center has been built, which has been determined to be a better location for the system than Old Quarry. Oxbow Chemicals is granting $7,000 to install new cameras in the system, but the check was written to District 113A instead of the village. The board members agreed on moving the system to the community center, but Orzel said they would need to consult with their legal counsel on whether it could cash the check and reissue another check to the village.

Drum major Chris Alcantara directs the Lemont marching band at halftime of the homecoming football game against Bremen on Sept. 26.

Show goes on The Lemont High School Marching Band has two major competitions left this fall: n The State of Illinois Marching Band Championship on Oct. 11 at Illinois State University n Bands of America Super Regional Championship on Oct. 17 and 18 at St. Louis

Learning the show is a process that starts for the students in May with practicing the music. Later in the summer, they spend a couple of weeks practicing their marching skills and learning the movements and formations for the show. Practice continues throughout the school year during the band period, Wednesday evenings and most of the day Saturdays. “People don’t realize how much we put into it and how much we care and the passion we have towards our program,” said senior Becky

Dowling, a tenor saxophone player. The Lemont band changed a couple of decades ago from playing mostly pop music to being a competitive marching band that played serious music. Nommensen said the competitive culture has been ingrained in the students. “I like the energy of performing the show making it as close to perfect as possible,” senior drummer Steven Brija said. From 1998 to 2005, the band won eight consecutive state championships in Class 3A. That streak came to an end when powerhouse Marian Catholic High School was reclassified to 3A. The Marian Catholic band has won 34 straight state championships. “They’re a great band,” Nommensen said. “We hope to get them someday.” Regardless of whether the band is competing for a state championship, he said he has the same goal each year. “I always want the students to come off the field being proud of what they’ve done,” he said.

I. A public hearing to approve a proposed property tax levy increase for Lemont Public Library District for 2014 (2014/2015 Fiscal Year) will be held on Tuesday, October 14 at 6:45 p.m. at the Lemont Public Library, 50 E. Wend Street, Lemont, IL 60439. Any person desiring to appear at the public hearing and present testimony to the taxing district may contact Sandra Pointon, Lemont Public Library District Director at 50 E. Wend St., Lemont, IL 60439 or at (630) 257-6541. II. The Corporate and Special Purpose Property Tax extended or abated for 2013 was $2,105,000. The proposed Corporate and Special Purpose Property Taxes to be levied for 2014 are $2,263,000. This represents a 7.0% increase over the previous year. III.The property taxes extended for debt service and public building commission leases for 2013 were $384,400. The estimated property taxes to be levied for debt service and public commission leases for 2014 are $395,200. This represents a 2.8% increase over the previous year. IV. The total property taxes extended or abated for 2013 were $2,489,400. The estimated total property taxes to be levied for 2014 are $2,658,200. This represents a 6.4% increase over the previous year.

LEMONT – Members of the Lemont High School Marching Band know their halftime performances have been a time for the football game crowd to hit the concession stands. But with an ambitious show, titled “Open Doors & Open Minds,” that has already done well at marching band competitions, the band is starting to receive more attention, including from fellow students. “I had a few people come up to me yesterday after homecoming,” said senior drum major Chris Alcantara. “They apparently paid attention at the homecoming game. They said, ‘You guys are pretty cool. We actually understood what was going on.’” The band also drew the attention of CBS 2 News, appearing on their morning broadcast Tuesday. During September, the band made it to the final round of the Lake Park Lancer Joust and won in Class AA at the Chicagoland Marching Festival. “This is the best start to a season we’ve had since we’ve been here,” senior mellophone player Michael Martinez said. Band director Dave Nommensen said he and fellow director Matt Doherty knew last spring the band was going to have a special year. They hired outside professionals to arrange the music and design a marching show that fit the strengths of the band. For the first time in several years, the band will be participating in the Bands of America Super Regional Championship in St. Louis. “The kids knew, ‘Ooh, we’re going to be stepping it up a little,’” Nommensen said. “None of these students had [been in this competition].”

The first patient diagnosed with the Ebola virus in the United States is in isolation in Dallas, but there is little worry for the infection to become an epidemic, doctors say. “The public health systems we have in place make it very unlikely that it will spread like it did in West Africa,” said Dr. Brian Harting, infectious

disease specialist at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove. The disease is not airborne and is spread by direct contact with bodily fluids, which limits its mobility. In addition, infected persons are not contagious until showing symptoms, unlike some other viruses. “That’s why we have a little bit better success [at locating] people who have potential risk,” he said. “There was a case

Happy Lemontster Days to everyone It’s been nearly two years since I graduated college and kick-started my career here at the Lemont Park District as a recreation supervisor. I am part of a wonderful and community-driven team that supports my work in putting together free, family-oriented, special events for the community of Lemont. COMMUNITY This summer was by far VOICE one of the best here in Lemont. Lauren The Lemont Park District and Hanson village of Lemont brought you Sunset Soiree, a series of free, outdoor concerts in downtown Lemont, rocking this town week after week. Our Independence Day Extravaganza, featuring the most note-worthy fireworks display in the southwest suburbs, took the title of our best year yet. Everything in between from our Pack the Parks, which feature free movies and entertainment, to our Paws in the Park dog event – our summer went off without a hitch! To bring even more partnerships and premium events to Lemont, this fall local government agencies have collaborated and we are officially rounding near our newly coined Lemontster Days. This is a series of fall and Halloween events beginning Oct. 18 through Halloween. To get Lemont ready for Halloween, the Lemont Chamber of Commerce and Lemont Park District are offering a free and fun Home and Business Decorating Contest. Decorate your house or business to be scary, creative and festive. The top homes and businesses will win some awesome prizes. Forms must be completed and submitted by Monday and can be found at www.lemontparkdistrict.org. Kicking off Lemontster Days is Fall Fest here at Lemont Park District in Centennial Park from 4 to 7 p.m. This “back-by-popular-demand” event will feature live music by The Walk-Ins, a scarecrow building contest, a straw maze, a free hot dog and s’more making bonfire area, hayrides and much more. We invite you and your families to wear your costumes to add even more festivity to the event. For details on all of Lemontster Days events, visit www. lemont.il.us/LemontsterDays. I truly believe that Lemont is one of the best suburban communities with event offerings, and I couldn’t ask for more than having the opportunity to actually be a part of this. If you ever have any suggestions, ideas or feedback regarding events, please feel free to contact me! You can always find me at a local Lemont event, so please stop by and say hello. Happy Lemontster Days, Lemont!

If you can’t commit to providing an animal with a lifetime of love and care, don’t get one! They are not dispensable. They have feelings and emotions and needs just like people. If you don’t like animals, leave them alone! If you do commit to the lifelong loving care of one, get it neutered or spayed. If you must find it a new home, try to find a new loving home before going to a shelter. If you can’t, then, and ONLY then, take it to a no-kill shelter. Do not let it fend for itself locked up, abandoned, or worse. There are millions of animals just waiting for another chance for a loving, forever home.

Bar crawls, drunk driving

Lemont Chamber of Commerce members and village officials mark the grand opening of Pollyanna Brewery on Sept. 26 in downtown Lemont. The brewery’s five owners were on hand to receive an official proclamation from the village honoring their opening.

This is about the Bartoberfests and pub crawls in area towns. Am I correct in assuming that everyone who goes, walks to the events and then gets on a trolley to go from bar to bar to get drunk? And they’re going to walk home? Right. They’re going to get in their cars and drive drunk. Hey towns, why don’t you have the cops park right where they’re dropped off. Make a lot of money those nights.

Penn Ward, 4, of Naperville rides the slide Tuesday as Jennifer Clark (right) gives him the go signal. Clark’s Hometown Child Care has been open in Woodridge for a couple of weeks.

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com WOODRIDGE – Jennifer Clark has a master’s degree in elementary education and is certified to teach kindergarten through eighth grade. But working in a preschool is where she wants to be. “I can still use my education,” she said. “I have a yearand-a-half-old daughter and I wanted to be with her.” Clark is the director of Hometown Child Care, which opened Sept. 15 at 2413 Mohawk Ave. in Woodridge. The Woodridge child care center is the second location of a family business co-owned by Clark’s mother, Joy Macarus. Clark, a 36-year-old Aurora resident, worked four years in the original Hometown Child Care location in Aurora. She said she chose the Woodridge location because there was an empty building that formerly

The center, which has seven children enrolled so far, can work with children ages 6 weeks to 12 years. It also offers a van service for children going to school. A lot of the attention is spent on the preschool children, who participate in learning activities. “We have it set up so the children are learning through play,” Clark said. “We think

it’s important for them to be learning but also enjoy themselves.” The center uses Learning Every Day, a state-certified preschool curriculum. Clark said children learn basic school etiquette, such as sharing and standing in line, and activities include using a water table, early math lessons, singing and finger puppets. “It prepares them not only for socializing, but they learn how to be away from parents,” she said. “I love to see the kids change overtime. When they first start, some of them have never been away from mom before.” Clark said Hometown Child Care offers advantages parents cannot find at larger child care businesses. “Because we’re family owned and operated, it’s like an extension of your home,” she said. “It’s like a family when your child is here.”

To the Electors of the State of Illinois: The purpose of a state constitution is to establish a structure for government and laws. There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may propose changes to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in the Legislative Article. The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTION 8.1 OF ARTICLE I OF THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE I – BILL OF RIGHTS SECTION 8.1. CRIME VICTIMS’ VICTIM’S RIGHTS. (a) Crime victims, as defined by law, shall have the following rights as provided by law: (1) The right to be treated with fairness and respect for their dignity and privacy and to be free from harassment, intimidation, and abuse throughout the criminal justice process. (2) The right to notice and to a hearing before a court ruling on a request for access to any of the victim’s records, information, or communications which are privileged or confidential by law. (3) (2) The right to timely notification of all court proceedings. (4) (3) The right to communicate with the prosecution. (5) (4) The right to be heard at any post-arraignment court proceeding in which a right of the victim is at issue and any court proceeding involving a post-arraignment release decision, plea, or sentencing. make a statement to the court at sentencing. (6) (5) The right to be notified of information about the conviction, the sentence, the imprisonment, and the release of the accused. (7) (6) The right to timely disposition of the case following the arrest of the accused. (8) (7) The right to be reasonably protected from the accused throughout the criminal justice process. (9) The right to have the safety of the victim and the victim’s family considered in denying or fixing the amount of bail, determining whether to release the defendant, and setting conditions of release after arrest and conviction. (10) (8) The right to be present at the trial and all other court proceedings on the same basis as the accused, unless the victim is to testify and the court determines that the victim’s testimony would be materially affected if the victim hears other testimony at the trial. (11) (9) The right to have present at all court proceedings, subject to the rules of evidence, an advocate and or other support person of the victim’s choice. (12) (10) The right to restitution. (b) The victim has standing to assert the rights enumerated in subsection (a) in any court exercising jurisdiction over the case. The court shall promptly rule on a victim’s request. The victim does not have party status. The accused does not have standing to assert the rights of a victim. The court shall not appoint an attorney for the victim under this Section. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to alter the powers, duties, and responsibilities of the prosecuting attorney The General Assembly may provide by law for the enforcement of this Section. (c) The General Assembly may provide for an assessment against convicted defendants to pay for crime victims’ rights. (d) Nothing in this Section or any law enacted under this Section creates a cause of action in equity or at law for compensation, attorney’s fees, or damages against the State, a political subdivision of the State, an officer, employee, or agent of the State or of any political subdivision of the State, or an officer or employee of the court. or in any law enacted under (e) Nothing in this Section or any law enacted under this Section shall be construed as creating (1) a basis for vacating a conviction or (2) a ground for any relief requested by the defendant appellate relief in any criminal case.

EXPLANATION The Constitution sets forth substantial rights for crime victims. The proposed amendment expands certain current rights: 1) Victims are currently entitled to fairness and respect throughout the criminal justice process. The amendment would also provide that they shall be protected from harassment, intimidation and abuse. 2) Victims currently can make a statement to the court when a criminal defendant is sentenced to punishment. The amendment would allow a victim to be heard at any proceeding that involves the victim’s rights, and any proceeding involving a plea agreement, release of the defendant or convicted individual, or sentencing. 3) Victims may obtain information about conviction, sentencing, imprisonment or release. The amendment would require prosecutors and the court to notify victims of those events before they happen. The amendment would also grant additional rights to crime victims: 1) A victim would have a right to formal notice and a hearing before the court rules on any request for access to the victim’s information which is privileged or confidential information. 2) A victim would have the right to have the judge consider the victim’s safety and the safety of his or her family before deciding whether to release a criminal defendant, setting the amount of bail to be paid before release, or setting conditions of release after arrest or conviction. 3) The victim would have the right to assert his or her rights in any court with jurisdiction over the criminal case, but would not have the same rights as the prosecutor or the criminal defendant and the court could not appoint an attorney for the victim at taxpayer expense. The proposed amendment would not alter the powers, duties or responsibilities of the prosecutor. Further, a criminal defendant would not be able to challenge his or her conviction on the basis of a failure to follow these provisions.

FORM OF BALLOT Proposed Amendment to the 1970 Illinois Constitution Explanation of Amendment The proposed amendment makes changes to Section 8.1 of Article I of the Illinois Constitution, the Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights. The proposed amendment would expand certain rights already granted to crime victims in Illinois, and give crime victims the ability to enforce their rights in a court of law. You are asked to decide whether the proposed amendment should become part of the Illinois Constitution.

YES NO

Weber Grill elevates backyard barbecue LOMBARD – As the season turns and separation anxieties mount at the thought of backyard grills decommissioned until spring, one restaurant always provides a comforting phalanx of professional Weber grills and charcoal at the ready. This year marks the silver anniversary of the Weber Grill restaurant, which originated in Wheeling and today has locations in Lombard, Schaumburg, Chicago and Indianapolis. The restaurants are owned by the Illinois-based grill manufacturer. We visited the Lombard location, a handsome space with a playful motif that pays homage to the early days of the dome-lidded Weber barbecue grill invented in 1952. There are vintage photos in the dining room, a chronological display of actual grills above the bar in the Smokey Joe’s lounge where myriad TV screens are tuned to sports, and a life-size sculpture in the foyer of the grill’s creator, George Stephen, cooking on his Weber in front of the open kitchen. Outside the restaurant is a towering giant of a kettle grill, its sheer size lending an amusing exclamation point. The dining room has an inviting clubby feel, with an exposed-beam ceiling, wagon wheel-style chandeliers above the tables, expansive leather banquettes and ultra-comfortable, upholstered booths. A stone fireplace and rich wood accent the space. We opted for a booth, and our helpful server soon delivered warm pretzel rolls with a tangy cheddar butter. Steaks, barbecue, burgers, grill-fired pizza and seafood dominate the menu, but I didn’t need to ponder all the choices. I had to try the signature pork ribs with hickory barbecue sauce, and they did not disappoint. The tender, fall-off-the-bone meat was flavorful, and the sauce hit just the right notes of zesty, smoky

I shared them in exchange for samples of the whipped sweet potatoes and bourbon baked beans my dining companion had chosen to complement his combo plate. I’m normally not a sweet potato fan, but the fluffy,

sweetened side dish was a standout – more dessert than dutiful vegetable. Served with our dishes was a thick slab of cornbread bursting with the just-picked flavor of high-summer sweetcorn with a hint of added sugar. My dinner date had chosen the two-item combo, picking the signature ribs along with the hardwood-slow-smoked pulled pork, which he praised

We were getting full, but couldn’t resist the seasonal creme brulee, whose flavor of the day was peach. We happily crunched through the crackling caramelized sugar atop the creamy custard. Splitting dessert does wonders to assuage the guilt of picking a rich confection. We paired dessert with a tasty cup of cappuccino prepared with Lavazza espresso coffee from Italy.

barbecue masters, we know where to find a reassuring taste of perpetual summer, when the polar vortex returns.

Lemont scores early and often in big win against Bremen By PAUL D. BOWKER msleditorial@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Thirteen seconds in, Lemont senior wide receiver Jimmy Kepouros waltzed into the end zone with the Indians’ first touchdown. Yes, 13 seconds. One play. It was just the beginning of an explosive opening quarter on homecoming night at Lemont. The unbeaten Indians (50, 3-0 South Suburban Blue) scored six touchdowns before the game was even 10 minutes old and cruised to a 54-6 win against Bremen (1-4, 0-3) on Sept. 26.

Sports to your phone Visit shawurl.com/texts to sign up and receive sports scores and alerts from Suburban Life. Duke commit and senior wide receiver Flynn Nagel began the attack by taking a pitch in the backfield from quarterback Ryan Dawson and tossing a 49-yard scoring pass to a wide-open Kepouros to begin the game. Nagel also caught two touchdown passes from Dawson and returned

a punt 52 yards for a touchdown. “Our team came in and we knew it was the homecoming game so it was a big game for everybody,” Nagel said. “A big crowd. We were just excited. We kind of went in offensively trying to put on some points early. That’s what we did.” When Nagel blasted through Bremen’s kick coverage on his punt return for a touchdown with 2:34 left in the first quarter, the Indians took a commanding 35-6 lead. Nagel has scored seven touchdowns in his past two games. “It was the blocking,” said

Nagel, crediting Barry Haggerty and Jeremy Fejedelem among other teammates with making key hits. “I didn’t have to do anything. I just ran to the spot and they took care of their jobs.” In addition to two scoring receptions each by Nagel and Kepouros, freshman running back Anthony Martin scored on a 14-yard run in the first quarter. Bremen cut the deficit to 7-6 on a 34-yard screen pass from quarterback Nate Cordova to Christan Carza for a touchdown with 9:26 left in the opening quarter, but Lemont

took advantage of four lost fumbles by Bremen and scored 47 straight points. Lemont plays host to Thornton Fractional North (2-3) tonight, and Lemont coach Bret Kooi believes his Indians haven’t reached their potential yet, despite scoring 96 points in just the past two games. “We still feel we’re not playing our best football yet and that’s what we want to do,” Kooi said. “I think the kids are buying into that and challenging themselves. That’s a good thing because every week the more experience we get, the more it’s going to help us.”

Lemont quarterback Ryan Dawson runs for a touchdown on a keeper in a Sept. 26 game against Bremen. The Indians found the end zone often in a 54-6 homecoming victory.

(0-2 SSB), Lemont 5-0 (3-0 SSB) n OUTLOOK: Lemont sits atop the South Suburban Blue conference standings with a 3-0 mark after dispatching 2013 champ Bremen 54-6. The Indians’ offense has come alive, scoring 184 points during the past four weeks. TF North also has a strong offense, averaging over 31 points per game, but the Meteors have allowed a combined 85 points in backto-back losses.

PREP ROUNDUP

Lemont soccer scores wins with consecutive shutouts SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA Lemont’s boys soccer team improved to 6-1 in the South Suburban Blue conference with a 1-0 victory Monday against Argo. Eric Whatley scored the lone goal while Connor Koehler made four saves in net to record the shutout. On Saturday, the Indians also beat Reavis 1-0 with Whatley again finding the back of the net. Koehler recorded two saves.

BOYS GOLF With Matt Groebe bringing home medalist honors, Lemont had little trouble capturing the South Suburban Blue conference tournament title Monday. Groebe shot a 78 to lead all individuals and was followed by a 79 from Raymond Sullivan and an 80 from Joe Pavlovic. As a team, the Indians compiled a total of 320, which put them 30 strokes ahead of runner-up Oak Forest.

Though Scott Darling was assigned to the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL on Monday, the Lemont native made quite an impression during Chicago Blackhawks training camp. The goalie started in net in Sunday’s preseason game against the Edmonton Oilers and emerged with a shutout

victory in the 5-0 win after registering 22 saves. Darling also played in the first preseason game against the Detroit Red Wings on Sept. 23 and made eight saves in relief of Corey Crawford as the Blackhawks prevailed 2-1 in overtime. A year ago, Darling played for the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL and had a 2.00 goals against average in 26

games. He also was named AHL Goaltender of the Month in December. He then signed with the Blackhawks as a free agent on July 1. Darling was originally drafted in 2007 by the Phoenix Coyotes after playing two years at the University of Maine. The IceHogs open the season Oct. 11 against Milwaukee.

It was another memorable moment for the Indians after they won the Class 3A state championship in dramatic fashion June 14 on Ryan Folliard’s two-run single with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning against Sacred Heart-Griffin. It was the first title in Lemont’s first trip to the state finals and capped a 35-5 season. The state champs enjoyed another highlight Aug. 17 when they were recognized on the field before a Chicago White Sox home game.

It’s all about the same in NFL

Carolina teams that were the second and fifth seeds in the NFC playoffs last year, and ranked third and second respectively in scoring defense, are both 2-2 and now rank 13th and 17th in points allowed. We feared the Jets and Falcons could be extremely difficult road trips and yet, through four weeks, New York is 1-3 and resides in the Bears win column, as do the 49ers, and the Falcons are 2-2, but currently ranked 31st in the NFL in total defense and 29th in points allowed. Miami was a popular AFC preseason wild card pick. The Dolphins started out on fire this year, upsetting the Patriots. But then they were embarrassingly bad, getting stoned in Buffalo and spanked at home by a Chiefs team that was 0-2 at the time. The Dolphins whacked the Raiders in London to get back

Watch Hub Arkush and the rest of our coverage team break down this weekend’s Bears game on “Chicago Football Now” at 10:30 a.m. Saturday on WCIU The U or at 2:30 p.m. Saturday on The U Too. to 2-2, but that’s the equivalent of beating up on the little sisters of the poor. Buffalo was viewed as a rare winnable game for the Bears in their opener at Soldier Field, yet they found a way to lose. Buffalo went on to beat the Dolphins in Week 2, but then fell apart against San Diego and Houston to drop them to 2-2. The Patriots still lurk at home for the Bears in Week 8. We suspect they’ll be pretty good by then, but all we know at the moment is they struggled to get by the Raiders in Week 3, and Oakland is almost certainly the worst team in the league. Finally, there are the Pack-

ers, who’d been atrocious on defense and struggled to run the ball before coming to Soldier Field and letting the Bears run up 496 yards of total offense on them. Yet, they still found a way to beat the Bears, and by three touchdowns. Is there a lesson in any of this? Only that the Bears are about six or seven plays over four games away from being 4-0, or 0-4. As of this writing, they were seemingly like everyone else – of course, 2-2. And one more thing. Through four games, we still really have no idea who the Bears are, or who their main competition is going to be as they fight for a spot in the playoffs. It appeared after four weeks that the Bears offense was capable of playing with the best in the NFL. Or are they? For all the plays the Bears seem to have made and all their trips up and down the field, they were just 19th in the league in total offense and 16th in points per game through four weeks. Can that get a team to the playoffs, particularly when it’s

22nd in defense and 22nd in points allowed per game? In today’s NFL it can, as long as the team makes a few big plays along the way, and as long as the bulk of its competition is as mediocre as the Bears are. The Bears should continue to get better on offense. Defense is the big question. As the Bears learned from the Packers in Week 4, shootouts are awfully hard to win and even harder to control. But if you can score points, it only takes a few plays a game on defense in this league to steal wins. The good news for the Bears through the first quarter of the season is that other than perhaps Seattle, there’s no one in the NFC who’s going to run away and hide from them. The final question is, can they be just a little bit better than the rest, because there’s still plenty of time left, and it doesn’t take much in the NFL today.

It seems like for the past decade, or even two, we’ve been debating the quality of NFL teams. Has pro football become truly mediocre, with no more than two, three or four teams really worth getting excited about? Or is everybody just that good? Many of us spent the better part of May, June and July bemoaning the difficulty of the Bears early schedule this year, with six of the first nine games on the road and five of those against 2013 playoff teams. Nobody wanted to listen when I warned everyone to relax, and tried to remind Bears fans that the way things change overnight in today’s NFL, that schedule might look a lot different by the time the Bears actually get to play it. Here we are just four weeks into the 2014 season, and not one of those teams the Bears face over their first nine games is over .500. The San Francisco and
