D-113A chief Birkenmaier resigns SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LEMONT – Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A is expected to name an interim superintendent in the coming weeks after the sudden resignation of Superintendent Susan Birkenmaier.

The Board of Education voted to accept Birkenmaier’s resignation, effective Oct. 31, during a special meeting Oct. 24.

All six present members of the board voted to approve the resignation. Board member David Deitemyer was absent.

The district will operate under the leadership of Assistant Superintendent Mary Gricus for the r e m a i n d e r Susan of the 2013-14 Birkenmaier school year.

District administrators will continue to do their jobs and to work with the board on a strategic plan, according to Gricus.

Gricus said the abruptness of Birkenmaier’s resignation is not ideal, but that it is a challenge that the district can handle.

The number of times Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A Assistant Superintendent Mary Gricus has had to assume leadership after the district superintendent resigned. The other times were in 1999, 2005 and 2011.

“It’s not typical, because the planning for the search process is usually something you would know in advance,” she said.

Board President Cindy Kelly said she feels confident in Gricus’ ability to lead the district.

“She’s just so on top everything,” she said. “I feel in good hands.”

Kelly said the district will begin the search for its next superintendent after the school year.

Birkenmaier left D-113A to pursue other professional interests, according to a news release from the district.

She did not elaborate on

where she was going and said the decision was a recent, but not an abrupt one.

“I think that the faculty and staff of District 113A are extraordinary,” Birkenmaier said. “I will miss them and feel honored to have had the opportunity to work with them.”

Kelly said the board was surprised when Birkenmaier informed them of her decision on Oct. 22.

“We want to make sure that everybody knows that we’re going to be OK,” Kelly said. “We’re going to miss her, but we’re going to be OK.” The district was in the midst of financial troubles when Birkenmaier was appointed superintendent. Her appointment came after the resignation of former superintendent Tim Ricker.

Birkenmaier was appointed superintendent in March of 2012, previous reports said. She officially began serving in the role in July of the same year.

At the time of her appointment, the board approved

a three-year contract for Birkenmaier, under which she received $164,000 annually.

Birkenmaier was considered a good match for the district because of her administrative background in finance, according to previous reports.

Kelly said she is not sure of the reason for the amount of turnover regarding the superintendent position.

“It’s just finding that fit,” she said. “Hopefully we’ll do it this time.”

Kelly said one thing that will benefit the next superintendent is that the current Board of Education is less divided than it has been in recent years.

“We’re one voice, as opposed to several different views,” she said.

Birkenmaier said she is confident in the district’s existing leadership and the strategic plan in place.

“It wasn’t my plan. It was the community’s plan,” she said. “I was the facilitator.

And I was proud to be part of that.”

LEMONT – Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services raised its underlying rating to “A+” from “BBB” on Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A’s existing general obligation bonds, according to an Oct. 25 news release from the service.

“The rating action reflects our view of the district’s improved financial position, bolstered by management’s efforts to significantly cut ex-

penditures to build reserves in its educational and operations and maintenance funds (combined general fund),” Standard & Poor’s credit analyst Blake Yocom said in the release.

The release said the analysts see the district’s strengths as being the incomes and market value per capita and available reserves.

Its weaknesses include its elevated carrying charges and history of poor voter support in approving referenda.

Village to begin work on First Street sidewalk

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The Lemont Village Board approved a bid for a sidewalk installation on the west side of First Street from Schultz Road to Bethany Lutheran Cemetery during its Oct. 28 meeting.

The project will include a 5-foot-wide striped asphalt shoulder along the cemetery to McCarthy Road.

The additions are part of the larger project of widening First Street and connecting it to Berkley Lane. They will add $32,706.50 to the overall cost of the project.

Lemont Village Administrator George Schafer said staff recommended including the shoulder so pedestrians would have a place to walk.

Schafer said work on the sidewalk and shoulder additions should start by the end

of the week and will take a couple of weeks to complete.

The Village Board also approved changes to the municipal code on Non Sufficient Fund checks written to the village.

The penalty for NSFs will increase to $25. An NSF must be replaced by cash, cashier’s check, money order or credit. A person who submits two NSFs in a year will be placed on “cash only” status for three months.

Lemont Finance Director Chris Smith said during the Oct. 21 board meeting that the previous penalty of $15 only covered the bank fee for processing the NSF and that the increase compensates the village to for its work addressing the issue.

“We want to make a point that that’s not acceptable,” she said of the NSF checks the village receives.

Alvernia Manor residents Josephine Hoskins (left) and Agnes Wittenmeier turned 100 on Oct. 23 and 24, respectively. Hoskins said her wish when blowing out her candles was to stay healthy.

Two 100th birthdays celebrated in Lemont

By DAN FARNHAM

Life secrets

dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Sister Cindy Drozd said it is rare for Alvernia Manor to have a centenarian.

The Lemont retirement community recently celebrated two of its residents, who turned 100 years old within a day of each other.

Josephine Hoskins had her 100th birthday on Oct. 23 and Agnes Wittenmeier had her’s on Oct. 24.

Alvernia Manor combined the two occasions into one celebration on Oct. 24, with cake and ice cream for the residents, family and friends.

Hoskins moved to Alvernia six years ago after living in Portage, Ind. She said living in Lemont has been a new experience for her.

“It was something different for me because I’ve never seen a town with so many other towns close to it,” she said.

Hoskins said she misses the days when she used to work in a sewing factory and at a drug store.

She now spends her time playing dice and card games.

New centenarians Josephine Hoskins and Agnes Wittenmeier each have their own explanation for their longevity.

For Hoskins, it’s a matter of perseverance.

“I don’t give up,” she said. “I still walk, go wherever I want to go.”

Wittenmeier thinks it is something she inherited.

“I must have gotten genes from my parents,” she said.

Wittenmeier also credits her faith and prayer.

Wittenmeier spent most her life in Chicago before moving to Alvernia in May 2012.

Wittenmeier said she worked a clerical job for the Illinois Department of Labor for 10 years before getting married and having a family.

Both Hoskins and Wittenmeier said turning 100 was not something they expected.

It did not even occur to them until other people brought it up.

“I never thought about it,” Wittenmeier said. “It came up on me so fast.”

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.

Veto session underway in Illinois Legislature Coined the fall “veto” session for a reason, each year lawmakers return to Springfield in late fall to take legislative action on bills vetoed by the Governor.

However, this year vetoed bills aren’t expected to drive the fall legislative agenda. In fact, out of the nearly 600 bills approved COMMUNITY by the General Assembly VOICE last spring, the Governor has Christine issued only 10 vetoes. And of Radogno those 10, action has been taken on seven of the bills, leaving only three veto measures left for legislators to deliberate.

Bills have been introduced to provide tax incentives to a major Illinois employer, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), which has requested a tax credit as an incentive to keep its global headquarters in Illinois. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is pushing for legislation to increase mandatory minimum sentences for certain gun crimes, and legislation allowing same sex marriage in Illinois could be called for a vote in the House.

However, the possibility of comprehensive public employee pension reform continues to draw the most speculation. A bipartisan Conference Committee of House and Senate lawmakers met throughout the summer and early fall, charged with developing a workable solution to the state’s pension woes. With only 39 cents in assets for every $1 of obligations, Illinois has the worst-funded pension system in the nation. Conservative estimates have placed the state’s pension debt at $100 billion – and rising.

As a result, Illinois’ credit rating has been downgraded 12 times in the past five years – costing taxpayers – and its pension obligations continue to drain revenues that could be used for other necessary expenditures, including education, infrastructure improvements and public safety. The Conference Committee has developed a workable framework to lower the state’s pension costs. Components include delaying and lowering state retirees’ future cost-of-living-adjustments, capping pensionable salary and a state commitment to re-invest resources from paid-off bond payments into the pension systems.

As we begin the second week of the fall veto session, I am hopeful we can build on that framework to include additional elements and achieve greater savings. House Republican Leader Jim Durkin and I are working together to craft a responsible solution to stabilize the state’s pension systems for the retirees who count on them and lower the burden on the taxpayers footing the bills.

Finally, it is a pleasure to welcome State Rep. Durkin (R-Western Springs) in his new role as House Republican Leader.

Jessica Wesolowski (right), 12, of Lemont, makes sure the hat is just right on the scarecrow she’s building Oct. 19 at the Lemont Park District’s annual fall fest in Centennial Park.

Lemont residents gathered for a day of seasonal fun at the Lemont Park District’s Fall Fest on Oct. 20 at Centennial Park. As many as 300 people are estimated to have attended the event. Festival highlights included contests, a straw maze, games and live music, as well as a chili tasting and a hot dog and marshmallow roast.

Thumbs up to the Lemont Park District, which recently repaid Old Quarry Middle School for its help during the Park District’s front entrance construction during the summer. In return, the middle school will get two new bike racks near the gym entrance.

D-113A talks 5th-grade class relocation SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LEMONT – Discussions about where Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A fifth grade classes should be held are continuing.

The district will hold an open committee meeting at noon Nov. 4 at River Valley School to discuss whether to keep its fifth grade students at Old Quarry Middle School or move them to River Valley.

The meeting will include district staff and two Board of Education members. It will take place in a small classroom and time will not be allotted for public comment.

Former Superintendent Susan Birkenmaier presented a report weighing the positives and negatives of each option during the D-113A Board of Education meeting Oct. 16.

Birkenmaier said during the meeting that classroom space will be an issue regardless what the district decides.

“No matter which way things go ... that school will

Class size The fifth grade in Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A is split into nine sections with an average of 32 students per class.

The students use nine classrooms at Old Quarry Middle School, as well as four support rooms. be at capacity for use in the classroom space,” she said.

The fifth-grade classes moved to Old Quarry after Central School was closed in 2011.

Assistant Superintendent Mary Gricus said Old Quarry was the best place for the students at the time because of the space available.

But with expected staff increases, the district needs to re-evaluate whether Old Quarry will still have enough room, she said.

“As we add teachers back as part of the financial plan, we’re analyzing what’s the optimal use for space,” Gricus said.

During the Oct. 16 meeting, Birkenmaier said that River Valley could accommodate the fifth-grade classes by using the reading specialist and small group meeting rooms.

Birkenmaier’s report said a benefit of the move would be that the fifth grade’s self-contained classes are consistent with the classes at River Valley. Relocating the students would also ease traffic at Old Quarry.

But moving the grade may require hiring more specialists and conducting renovations at River Valley, the report said.

The district is looking for a recommendation from the board in the next couple of months.

As far as how the fifth graders are faring at Old Quarry Middle School, Board President Cindy Kelly said the feedback has been positive.

“I’ve had so many parents and teachers say that they like it there,” she said.

8SOUND OFF Against apartments La Grange, it’s time to get it right. The YMCA property is now sold. The new buyer says they want to have mixed use, with some apartment building involved. Don’t let them do it.

The village does not need more people, the schools are overrun.

Whoever owns the building is only interested in renting out the units. It’ll be Section 8 housing and transients which will really bring down the school system, and look at your crime rate, too.

La Grange needs more retail That space there was sold from the YMCA to a developer at the corner of La Grange Road and Ogden Avenue, they should make sure that it’s all retail because towns need sales tax revenue.

And there’s this influx of physical therapy places that are taking up valuable retail spaces everywhere.

They get reduced tax rates. That’s not good. Make sure that it’s stores or restaurants that give the full sales tax revenue to the village.

In defense of CFLs From time to time I read about the hazards of mercury continued in CFL bulbs. True, there is a small amount of mercury, but far less than what people may think. A serving of albacore tuna has 700 times more. Let’s put aside political agendas for a moment and consider that CFLs are reliable, safe and long-lasting, especially the Energy Star-rated bulbs. We have them in our home and have been happy with them, despite a few limitations. Yes, we also have incandescent bulbs in some locations, and we are also installing high-tech LED bulbs; indeed the newer LED bulbs are very good.

As time goes on, the old Edison technology just seems so “19th century.” It’s time to move on and save energy quickly and painlessly.

BOLINGBROOK – Old school hockey is alive and well in Bolingbrook.

Every Friday since Oct. 4, a group of about 50 players – all of whom are at least 50 – are burning the midnight oil, competing in the inaugural season of the Hockey Five-0, recreational league at local Rocket Ice Arena.

There are currently four teams – the Gray Wolves, Olde Tyme Hockey, Pond Hockey and the Rusty Blades – rotating game slots and opponents, either playing at 9:30 or 10:30 p.m. Fridays.

All the players, including the goalies, wear full pads and helmets, and each individual was physically evaluated prior to the league commencement.

While the game pace is still fast, all checking and rough play is banned from the league.

Established by Bolingbrook brothers Don and Dave Bolger, as well acquaintances Don Shedor, Dave Carlson and Charlie Zarazecki, Hockey Five-0 arose from a mutual want for a non-competitive league with men their own age.

“I have played hockey my whole life – my mom says I was born with a hockey stick in my hand,” Dave Bolger said.

“But, I reached a point where I could no longer compete at a high intensity level. I needed something fun and relaxing that was still ‘hockey.’”

A former minor league hockey player, Dave Bolger insists that competitive spirit is sometimes hard to quell, explaining that he’s played in men’s leagues that often became too physical.

“Hockey is a contact sport,” Dave Bolger said. “It’s a fast, physical game and can sometimes get chippy. But at my age, I cannot do that anymore.

Everyone in Hockey Five-0 is out here to have fun.”

His brother, Don, agreed, adding that playing a sport requiring extensive communication is a great way to build and foster friendships.

“Hockey is the ultimate com-

munication sport and presents a great opportunity to really get to know these guys,” Don Bolger said, pointing to his teammates.

“You have to always know who is coming off the ice, who is going on the ice. It’s a lot of fun.”

Don Bolger knows a lot about communication techniques, too.

The 54-year-old is an instructor at the Illinois Center for Broadcasting and has been in broadcasting for more than 25 years.

Communication and chatter among teammates must increase as hockey players age, Don Bolger said. As athletes age, they are unable to battle along boards, finish checks, chase the puck into an opposing zone and make precision cuts, he added.

Although Hockey Five-0 team captains attest that they now have to approach the game differently – longer warm-ups, more stretches and staying hydrated – they are still having as much fun now as they were as children and young men.

“I have played recreational hockey since I was young, but never played for an organized league until I met this group of guys,” Don Bolger said. “It might be the most fun I’ve ever had on the ice.”

Continued from page 12 What about LED bulbs?

There is an alternative to the incandescent light bulb, and it doesn’t contain mercury. It’s called the LED bulb. You’ve probably seen LED bulbs in a traffic light or the tail lights of newer cars. Unlike a CFL, it can be readily used for outdoor purposes. It doesn’t need to warm up like some fluorescent light bulbs. In fact, an LED bulb illuminates faster than an incandescent bulb. And it doesn’t give off the slightly purple light that many CFLs do. While they are expensive, they last quite a long time. Unlike an incandescent bulb, which will only last several months, when used outside from dusk until dawn, an LED will last several years. A bulb in the 7- to 12-watt range easily replaces a 60-watt bulb, meaning lower energy bills.

Trucks should get their own lane Traffic is a part of our everyday lives, and I get that. However, roadways and traffic can be improved with the appropriate rules of the road enforced or initiated. I travel round trip on Route 83 from Main Street, Lemont, north to 22nd Street in Oak Brook, Monday through Friday

during main drive time. This past summer and continuing into the fall, I have seen an extraordinary amount of semi truck traffic – perhaps due to the Tollway increases? Let’s share the road, but let’s also have some weight limits and some lane rules. It’s a daily occurrence when two semi trucks are side by side on Route 83, heavily weighted down so they can’t go the speed limit and the traffic lights are not timed for these slow moving beasts. Local officials, we need some truck lane and weight rules on Route 83; no study needed, ask those of us who travel this roadway each day, including the truck drivers. Or get some money from the ISTHA – they take and take but don’t seem to be assisting the perimeter towns.

lied, thousands have lost their health insurance. Obama has since exempted big business, his union cronies and the idiots in Congress who passed Obamacare from being subject to it. Is Ted Cruz the only sane senator, fighting so we can all be exempt from Obamacare?

Root of marriage dispute

I agree with the Oct. 24 “Sound Off” message that was in favor of marriage equality and urged that we end restrictions on same-sex marriage. Opposing same-sex marriage indeed is irrational.

But what we must realize is that opposition to same sex marriage is biblically based, and that makes it difficult to move forward. Thus in Leviticus 20, Verse 13, we read that Congested air traffic if a man lies with another man above town as he does with a woman, both Over the past two weeks have committed an abominaWestmont has gone from tion, they shall both be put to relatively quiet skies to a death, and their blood shall be daily average of seven noisy jet upon them.

Arboretum to light winter night sky

By AMANDA FRAZER shawmedia@msleditorial.com LISLE – This winter, a milelong trail of trees will permeate the night sky with vibrant lights that residents can walk among and control with touch, motion and sound.

For the first time in its 91year history, The Morton Arboretum will host Illumination: Tree Lights at The Morton Arboretum from Nov. 22 to Jan. 4.

“We wanted to offer visitors an opportunity to experience trees in a different way,” said Anamari Dorgåan, director of education with the Arboretum. “[The event] is cool because it’s a combination of cutting edge light technology combined with the beautiful landscape of the Arboretum.”

Dorgan said the Arboretum estimates that more than 100,000 residents will visit the event, sponsored by ComEd and BMO Harris Bank.

The event has been put together by designers from

If you go What: Illumination: Tree Lights at the Morton Arboretum When: Nov. 22 to Jan. 4 Where: The Morton Arboretum, 4100 Rt. 53, Lisle Details: Light displays of more than 400 LED and Arc lighting on 1-mile trail of trees Cost: Members: $10 for adults and $5 for ages 2-17; nonmembers: $15 for adults, $10 for ages 2-17 and younger than 2 are free.

Lightswitch Architectural, a lighting and visual design company, the Arboretum staff and more than 800 Arboretum volunteers.

The team will set up more than 400 LED and Arc lighting fixtures among about 50 acres of the Arboretum’s 1,700-acre in a few weeks; the planning process took about two years, according to staff. Dorgan said the setup will begin Oct. 31 and will continue until opening day.

The Morton Arboretum will host Illumination: Tree Lights at The Morton Arboretum from Nov. 22 to Jan. 4.

Illumination will take place on a paved walking trail around the Arboretum’s Meadow Lake and through its Conifer Walk.

Residents will encounter multiple interactive light displays.

One, called Harmony Trees, will

consist of black walnut trees covered in multidirectional lights that respond to sound.

“You can actually talk or sing and make noises and the color will respond so that the trees bathed in light from all sides appear to shift and move and respond to the sounds around you,” Dorgan said.

Another display, called Island of Light, allows residents to control the color and brightness of lights projected onto an island of trees with a wave of a hand.

And at another area, called Hug a Tree, residents can control the brightness, color and speed of the shifting light by hugging certain trees.

Crystal chandeliers and shadow lanterns will create some of the event’s observational light displays. Residents will also be able to see a time-lapse of the seasons through images projected onto a group of trees.

In addition to the lights at the event, there will also be three concession areas, which will include s’mores, outdoor fire pits

and hot chocolate. Inside the Visitor Center, residents will be able to see the Enchanted Railroad display, which features a model railroad train from the LGB Model Railroad Club.

There will also be special event nights with musical groups and children’s activities. The Frozen Robins, a vocal group, will perform Nov. 22 and every Saturday during the event.

Dorgan said the event was created as a way to encourage residents to experience the winter landscape and learn more about the Arboretum at a time when they would not think to do so.

“We want people to connect with trees intellectually, but the reality is that if we want people to care we want them to connect emotionally,” Dorgan said.

“And this is the place to do that.”

Each day the event will open at 4:30 p.m., and the last entry will be accepted at 8:30 p.m. It will be closed Nov. 28 and Dec. 2, 9, 16, 24 and 25.

Restaurant reviews

Barbakoa sizzles, offers endless Latin flavor DOWNERS GROVE – With its modern Latin, tapas-style menu and dazzling interior, Barbakoa is a worthy entry into the line of upscale restaurant-bar combos in northern Downers Grove.

Barbakoa opened in mid-October on the south side of Butterfield Road just east of Finley Road – an area equally scattered with corporate offices, big-name shopping destinations and popular eateries.

A high profile that starts with the expansive location extends to the two names attached to Barbakoa: renowned chef Dudley Nieto and restaurateur/designer Jerry Kleiner.

Nieto reaped food fame for opening a slew of successful restaurants, including Adobo Grill, Zapatista and Chapuline in Chicago, while Kleiner’s Carnivale, Il Poggiolo and Red Light, to name a few, enjoyed equal fortune.

Barbakoa represents the duo’s first collaboration, and west suburban residents are the benefactors.

What really puts this Latin restaurant over the top is its combination of great food and vibrant atmosphere. My date and I left the restaurant one recent weeknight debating which was more impactful.

We started our experience with a lineup of guacamole and salsas with chips.

Diners can choose from three types of guac – Traditional, Pina and Chicharon.

The Chicharon was our favorite, with its blend of chipotle pepper, garlic and jicama, while the Pina was a tad spicy for our liking. The avocado-based favorites are offered as a single, pair or trio.

The salsas range from mild to medium, spicy and “mucho spicy!”

Barbakoa occupies the former home of Buona Beef at 1341 Butterfield Road, although the interior has been completely reinvented with an eye-catching Latin theme.

Carne Asada tacos consist of generous portions of tender skirt steak with onions, Asadero cheese and “guacasalsa.”

The Chicken Tinga tamale is delicately prepared with roasted Amish chicken, topped with a complex mole poblano. our hunger, which our server accurately predicted.

The nine taco options include Baja, the catch of the day in a Negra Modelo beer batter; Pastor, slow-roasted pork topped with pineapple and a morita salsa; Hongos, a

vegetarian option with corn mushroom and shitakee; and Carne Asada, skirt steak with chorizo and “guacasalsa.”

Looking for variety in my plate of four tacos, I requested two each of the Pastor and Carne Asada.

Both were delicious in their corn tortillas. I definitely recommend the Carne Asada, which is full of tender, flavorful steak that’s rich in flavor.

My date relished the tamale dish, with roasted Amish chicken in a citrus, semi-dry rub, served in a corn husk

with poblano mole generously poured on top. The mole sauce made the dish.

Lastly, the Queso Fundido, a mix of cheeses, chimichurri and wild mushroom over garlic shrimp, was tasty, as well.

Other menu options include larger entrees such as the Wood-Roasted Guajillo Half-Chicken, the Cowboy Pork Chop in Barbakoa Sauce and the Arrachera Asada skirt steak.

Barbakoa also has a “Share Menu” for groups of four or more with set prices per diner.

The bar highlights 24 wines and sangria, five Margarita concoctions, four mojito varieties and a range of beers, including Corona, Pacifico and Negra Modelo.

There’s much to celebrate with both edibles and potables that live up to the bar’s motto: “Toasting Latin Culture.”

Bears best chance vs. Packers is a shootout Hub Arkush

The first thing you need to realize about the Bears trip to Lambeau Field this Monday night is these are not your father’s Green Bay Packers and these aren’t your granddaddy’s Bears.

When was the last time the Bears were one of the NFL’s worst defenses, but one of the game’s most explosive offenses? Not in my lifetime.

But there it is as the Bears prepare for the Packers. The Bears are ranked 27th in the NFL in total defense, 31st in average gain per play allowed, 31st in sacking the quarterback, and 29th in points allowed. Offensively, it’s a different story. The Bears are fourth in the league in average gain per offensive play and second in points scored.

Somewhere, there are cows jumping over the moon.

Not everything is different in Green

Bay. The Packers still are No. 2 in total offense, first in average gain per play, third in third down efficiency, seventh in time of possession and third in points scored. But when was the last time the Packers were fourth in the NFL running the football?

If you look on the other side of the ball, you’ll find a Packers’ defense that was near the bottom of the league last year but is now 11th overall, fourth vs. the run, fifth sacking the quarterback, and 10th in third down efficiency.

The only statistic that actually favors the Bears in this game is one you’d expect, with the Bears at plus seven turnover/takeaway ratio and the Packers at minus two. Even that is misleading, however. The Bears have actually turned the ball over 11 times to just nine for the Packers, but the Bears defense has 18 takeaways while the Packers have only seven.

The turnover/takeaway ratio is a battle the Bears will have to win to have a chance to pull the upset.

The new fearsome Packers’ ground game is keyed by rookie Eddie Lacy,

who’s piled up 446 yards on 112 carries for a 4.0 average, and supplemented by the rejuvenated James Starks, who has 244 yards on 41 carries for a gaudy 6.0 average. Another rookie, Johnathan Franklin, has 19 carries for 107 yards and a 5.6 average.

What is so troublesome about the Packers rushing attack is it’s the main reason they are seventh in the NFL in time of possession while the Bears are 21st. The key to helping the Bears defense is to keep it off the field, but that will be difficult if they can’t handle the Packers running game.

Then, of course, there’s Aaron Rodgers. In spite of playing the entire season without his left tackle, Bryan Bulaga, and now significant time without James Jones, Randall Cobb and Jermichael Finley, at 108.0 he is still the NFL’s fourth-rated quarterback behind only Peyton Manning, Philip Rivers and Drew Brees.

The idea of Rodgers dissecting a Bears defense with its third string three-technique tackle, backup defensive ends, two rookie linebackers and

a pair of safeties who’ve spent almost every week after a game this season in the severe burns unit has the potential for a real nightmare.

Improvements on the Packers’ defense have come from a better team approach but significant individual improvements from defensive end Johnny Jolly, who is back after three years away from the game due to off-the-field issues, the move of Brad Jones to inside linebacker, a shift from defensive end to outside linebacker for Mike Neal, Nick Perry’s return to health, and big bounce-back seasons from A.J. Hawk and Sam Shields.

One matchup to watch will be the occasions when massive nose tackle Ryan Pickett lines up on Bears’ rookie Kyle Long, and whether or not the Bears’ blockers and Josh McCown can handle the Packers’ pass rush.

Will the moment be too big for McCown and all those Bears’ rookies getting their first taste of the NFL’s oldest and best rivalry, or can the Bears force the Packers into a shootout and find a way to have the ball last?

tasy Surprises So Far. To be considered a Top 10 Fantasy Surprise, we considered aggregate draft position, total points and points per start. Points are based on standard scoring with no points per reception.

10. Chiefs Defense: Aggregate Draft Position: 236/Points Per Start: 10.3 Once a pushover target for your fantasy lineup, the Chiefs are currently 8-0 and lead all defenses in fantasy points scored. On average, they were the 21st defense to come off fantasy football draft boards.

9. Peyton Manning, QB, Den-

lected in fantasy drafts.

5. Jordan Cameron, TE,

touchdowns last week, this probably seems like a kneejerk reaction. However, Jones produced in the two weeks prior and has averaged 21 points over the last three weeks.

6. Tony Romo, QB, Dallas: Aggregate Draft Position: 59/ Points Per Start: 19.5 Matthew Stafford was considered here, but Romo has produced similar results and was drafted 17 spots lower than the Detroit quarterback.

Currently, Romo is ranked fourth among fantasy quarterbacks and (on average) he was the 11th quarterback to be se-

Cleveland: Aggregate Draft Position: 116/Points Per Start: 11.5 About a dozen tight ends were taken before Cameron, who currently ranks No. 3 at his position with 92 points.

4. Fred Jackson, RB, Buffalo: Aggregate Draft Position: 117/ Points Per Start: 13.4 (#39 RB taken) Although teammate CJ Spiller received all of the predraft attention, it’s the steady Jackson who leads Buffalo in touches and scores. Jackson ranks No. 9 among fantasy backs with 94 points.

3. Terrance Williams, WR, Dallas: Aggregate Draft Position: Not drafted/Points Per Start: 8.8 Most of us thought that Miles Austin would complement Dez Bryant, but the rookie from Baylor has emerged

as the second fiddle in Dallas.

Williams has averaged 14.8 points in his last four games.

2. Jordy Nelson, WR, Green Bay: Aggregate Draft Position: 68/Points Per Start: 13.5 (25th WR) Maybe you’re not surprised that Nelson has produced, but it would have been hard to expect this level of play. Not only was Nelson taken after 24 other receivers, he was actually the third receiver on his team to be drafted (behind Randall Cobb and James Jones).

1. Knowshon Moreno, RB, Denver: Aggregate Draft Position: 205/Points Per Start: 15 The 63rd running back selected has outscored all but one other running back (Jamaal Charles). To get a better idea of how crazy that is, consider this: As the 63rd back drafted, he was likely the No. 5 or 6 back on a fantasy roster.

Last week we looked at fantasy’s biggest 2013 disappointments.

This week we take a positive spin and address a more pleasant topic: The 10 Ten Fan-

ver: Aggregate Draft Position: 15/Points Per Start: 28.4 Some might argue with listing the world’s most famous athlete as a “surprise.”

However, Manning was the third quarterback to come off the board and lasted until the third or fourth rounds in many drafts. He is currently leading fantasy in total points and points per start.

8. Josh Gordon, WR, Cleveland: Aggregate Draft Position: 108/Points Per Start: 12.7 I guess it’s a surprise when anyone on the Browns produces. Gordon is a superior talent who has played well despite abysmal quarterback play. His draft position was undoubtedly affected by the two-game suspension he served at the start of the season.

7. Marvin Jones, WR, Cincinnati: Aggregate Draft Position: Not drafted/Points Per Start: 9.9 With Jones scoring four

‘We were a couple of plays away’ Lemont ends decade-long postseason streak with loss

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The inactivity on the football field this week is an unfamiliar sight at Lemont High School.

For the first time since 2003, the Indians are not a part of the IHSA playoffs after wrapping up this fall with a 3-6 record. The program’s streak of six consecutive seasons with double-digit wins also came to an end.

“We’ve been lucky to have some good teams, and I’ve had good people working with me,” said Lemont coach Eric Michaelsen, whose teams posted a mark of 95-17 over the past nine years. “This year, we were a couple of plays away from being back in the playoffs.”

The curtain was brought down on the 2013 campaign with a 39-6 loss to TF South on Friday.

A fumble and a blocked punt led to an early 14-0 deficit before the visitors scored their lone touchdown on a 51-yard pass from Ryan Dawson to Jimmy Kepouros. But a long touchdown run by TF South shortly before halftime took the wind out of Lemont’s sails and the home team pulled away in the third quarter.

“It was kind of the story of the season in a nutshell,” Michaelsen said.

“The last two weeks, we had 11 turnovers. You are not going to succeed in that situation.

“The one observation I would make, we never played a full four quarters and that made it tough. We would play well and then mistakes would come.”

Dealing with inexperience and injuries throughout the fall, one positive was a group of younger players got their feet wet at the varsity level.

“We got some kids some experience,” Michaelsen said. “Hopefully those kids take that experience and see the benefit of hard work.

“It’s going to be an import ant offseason for us. We have to make sure the kids are doing well

And then we need to make sure the kids get in the weight room.”

One group that won’t be back is the senior class. Eighteen players played their final football game in a Lemont uniform Friday, including two-year starters Connor Melvin, Anthony Berta, Joe Bailey, Drew Hayes and Andrew Miller.

“The seniors that stuck it out and worked hard, we appreciate

everything they did for the program,” Michaelsen said.

Now the goal of the next group is to begin a new playoff streak next fall.

“There will be some talented kids,” Michaelsen said, “but talent without work doesn’t play out in varsity football. Our conference is improved and if we are going to step back into a role of prominence, we have to improve in a lot of areas.”

TF South 39, Lemont 6 Lemont top performers Passing: Ryan Dawson 78 yards, TD Rushing: Julio Aleman 15-54; Dawson 6-47 Receiving: Matt Monaco 3-30; Jimmy Kepouros 1-51, TD Defense: Anthony Berta 9 solo tackles; Josh Rogers forced fumble

Lemont’s Lisa Gawron hits a return shot in a match against Hoffman Estates’ Courtney Lang during the first round of the IHSA state tournament on Oct. 24.

Lemont’s Gawron victorious in a match at state tennis tourney

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com

Lemont senior Lisa Gawron capped off her career by advancing to the second round of the consolation bracket at the IHSA girls state tennis tournament.

Gawron opened the event by dropping her match to Hoffman Estates’ Courtney Lang in straight sets.

She rebounded in the opening round of the consolation bracket by outlasting York’s Annie Rivera in three sets (6-3, 6-7, 6-2) before falling to Tinley Park’s Haley Wilcox 6-2, 6-4. She finished the season with an 18-8 record in singles play.

“Lisa is a hard-working, dedicated individual and she was so happy to qualify for state,” Lemont coach Chris Hill said.

“She has been on the team all four years, making the varsity starting lineup for three years and playing first singles for varsity the last two years.

“Overall, Lisa has had a very successful season and career here at Lemont, including being selected as this year’s MVP.” Gawron finished fourth at the Downers Grove South sectional the previous weekend and also helped the Indians to the South Suburban Conference Blue Division title this fall, finishing third in No. 1 singles at the SSC Tournament.

Lemont’s last state finals representative in girls tennis prior to Gawron was Jessica Urban, who made the last of her three consecutive state tournament appearances in 2009.

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL Another successful season for Lemont’s girls volleyball team came to a close on Tuesday in a 25-12, 19-25, 25-20 loss to Wheaton Warrenville South in a semifinal match at the Class 4A Bolingbrook regional.

BOYS SOCCER Lemont was denied an opportunity to advance to Saturday’s Class 2A Lincoln-Way West sectional championship game after the Indians were dealt a 4-1 loss by the host school Tuesday.

The Indians had advanced to the sectional semifinals after capturing their own regional title with a 3-0 win over Tinley Park on Oct. 25.

GIRLS SWIMMING Lemont clipped Shepard 9188 in a recent South Suburban Conference dual meet.

Annette Lesnicki won the 100-yard butterfly in a time of 1:04.18 and was also first in the 500 freestyle after touching the wall in 5:47.35.

Erin Bendle won the 200 individual medley in 2:29.23 and the 100 breaststroke in 1:19.47. Sarah Decesare added a first-placing showing in the 100 backstroke with a clocking of 1:14.76.

be close to 100 percent this weekend.

“The girls and I are excited for Saturday. It is a pretty tough sectional but, if we run like we are capable, we have a great shot at making it back down state as a team.”

BOYS CROSS COUNTRY Lemont will be represented by Lucas Heatherington at Saturday’s Wheaton Academy sectional after the senior advanced out of the Wheaton Academy regional last weekend.

Heatherington finished 35th in a time of 17:09.

As a team, the Indians came in ninth with a point total of 292.

Andrew Kramer and Evan Ganzer were 48th and 49th, respectively, Chris Konicki came in 57th and Andrew Trick was 60th.

Peter Debiase and Connor Brandt rounded out the group in 62nd and 63rd place, respectively.

Lemont Hornets dominate Panthers in playoff opener SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LEMONT – The streak keeps building for the Lemont Hornets’ 83-pound Gold team.

After going a perfect 8-0 in the regular season, the Hornets kept their undefeated streak going with a 30-12 win over the Carol Stream Panthers in the first round of the playoffs.

The Hornets, who play their next playoff game against the Wheaton Rams at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at Lemont

High School, held the Panthers to zero points and negative 10 yards until the fourth quarter, by which time Lemont was well on its way to a win.

The Hornets once again had impressive performances on both sides of the ball, as well as special teams.

Four different Hornet players scored touchdowns during the game.

If the Hornets top the Rams on Saturday, they would advance to the Super Bowl game next weekend.

WHEATON – A young Lemont girls cross country squad advanced as a team out of the Class 2A Wheaton Academy regional last Saturday after placing fifth with a score of 124.

The Indians’ group of seven competitors included five sophomores and one freshman.

Taylor Campos led the way with her 11th-place time of 19:16. Gabby Voltarel was 16th in 19:24, Claire Gagen finished 18th in 19:36, Bridget Kunkel came in 35th in 20:34 and Lindsey Mazur rounded out the scoring quintet in 53rd with a time of 21:09.

Kelly Fritz, the lone senior to run, was 53rd in 21:27.

Olivia Matthews (63rd, 22:56) also competed.

Lemont will compete at the Wheaton Academy sectional on Saturday, with the girls’ race set to begin at 10 a.m.

“It has been a great season so far and hopefully we will continue it this week,” coach Tim Plotke said.

“We have not run at 100 percent since we ran at the First to the Finish Invite in early September, but we’ve had a lot of different girls answer the call when we needed them. It looks like we will

WIKIMEdIA COMMONS

More antioxidants Antioxidants are a hot topic these days. According to the National Cancer Institute, antioxidants are chemicals that block the activity of other chemicals known as free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive and have the potential to cause damage to cells, including damage that may lead to cancer.

Antioxidants are made naturally by the body, and you can get more through food and other dietary supplements.

Pamela Ofstein, a registered dietitian who owns and operates a private nutrition practice in Florida, says by eating foods rich in antioxidants, it’s possible to prevent some diseases, enhance our immune system and reduce the physical effects of aging.

“Incorporating lowfat, plant-based foods can be essential to wellness and disease prevention,” Ofstein says.

“Overall, there isn’t one food that can help prevent disease, but healthy diets overall are important for general well-being and weight control.”

Ofstein offers some ways to add antioxidants to your diet: Eat more fruits and vegetables: Especially those rich in color and leafy greens. Make a smoothie, and add veggies to omelets, tomato sauces and whole-grain pasta dishes. Aim to eat at least five to six servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

Go nuts: You can incorporate nuts and berries into oatmeal or whole-grain cereals, or make homemade trail mixes with seeds and dried fruit.

Drink green tea: According to Harvard Health Publications, tea’s health benefits are largely due to its high content of flavonoids.

Studies have found an association between consuming green tea and a reduced risk for several cancers, including skin, breast, lung and bladder.

Eat chocolate: Yes, chocolate. Go for the dark side to potentially lower bad cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

ial Spec Special delivery Sending treats to loved ones requires care

By Kathryn Rem More Content Now

When Shirley Fan was a college student, her parents sent her a box full of peaches they harvested from their backyard.

It never arrived.

“I don’t know what happened to it. Maybe it started leaking,” said the New York-based registered dietitian who spent six years at the Food Network working on its television shows and magazines.

That kind of care-package disaster isn’t likely to happen to Fan, now something of an expert in the logistics of mailing food. She’s recently put her knowledge into a book, “The Flying Brownie: 100 Recipes for Homemade Treats That Pack Easily, Ship Fresh and Taste Great” (Harvard Common Press, 2013, $17.95).

“Care packages are equal parts baking and arts and crafts,” Fan said. “Not only do they bring scrumptious goodies from faraway places, they also bring cheer, love and creativity to doorsteps around the world.

They’re a way to tell people, ‘I was thinking of you.’”

Send sensibly Not all foods are appropriate for a long trip. Fresh meats and fruits are not good candidates; neither are items that may spoil, such as cream pies or creme brulee. And forget delicate, brittle cookies that will arrive as a box full of crumbs.

“You want to send firm, dense and moist items that can withstand shifting without breaking. Drop cookies, brownies, muffins, quick breads and loaf cakes are good,” Fan said. Also a good bet: firm and dry savory items, such as popcorn, pretzels, jerky, granola, nuts and dried fruit. When it comes to candy, caramels, nougats and marshmallows are ideal. And so is — surprise! — peanut brittle.

“Brittle is supposed to break,” Fan said.

Surviving the trip The author offers these tips for successful food shipping: n Pack each type of item separately so flavors don’t mingle. n Ship by the fastest shipping method as soon as you finish baking to avoid spoilage. n Pack cookies in zip-top plastic bags (pack fairly full and press air out) or in airtight containers with parchment or waxed paper between layers. Fill empty spaces with crumpled paper.
