By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The Lemont Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors has hired Lemont resident Glenn Pasiewicz as its new executive director. He took over at the beginning of November for Joanna Kmiec, who left the position because Glenn she was moving Pasiewicz out of the area. Pasiewicz said he has a degree in marketing and experience running a small business and working in a larger business, all of which will help him in his new position with the chamber. “I think [chambers of commerce] are the voice of the business community,” he said. “We have to be that conduit between village government and the business owner – to be that cheerleader.”

Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves showed his support for Pasiewicz when talking to him during Monday’s Lemont Village Board meeting. “When I saw that it was your name to be the next director, I truly thought you were the right pick for what the community needs,” he said.

Chamber Board of Directors president Anne Marie Evans said she is excited to have Pasiewicz as the new executive director. “I think he’s bringing a lot of new perspective to the job,” she said. “He brings a lot of sales and marketing experience, which is something we want to develop as a chamber.” Pasiewicz said that while position with the chamber is less pay than working with a business, it is a job that he thinks he will enjoy. “It’s starting out to be a very rewarding experience,” he said. “This is a job where I can wake up in the morning to think, ‘Who can I help out today?’” He said he will be working with business owners to help market themselves better in the community, using resources such as the chamber website. For Lemont residents, he wants to push the idea of shopping local, with residents looking within the Lemont borders

Lemont children lend helping hand to winter clothing drive By DAN FARNHAM LEMONT – The Hope and Friendship Foundation’s Winter Clothing Drive received a big assist from young Lemont volunteers. In what has become an annual tradition, Lemont Brownie Troop 360 collected 1,297 pairs of socks to donate to the drive. A day before the clothing was distributed to those in need Saturday, Old Quarry Middle School students stayed after school to help sort the donations. Troop leader Robyn Horn started the sock drive four years ago, when her older

daughter was in Brownies. That group continued doing the drive annually until this year, with her younger daughter’s group of Brownies carrying on the tradition. “We have a really caring group of girls and I think Girl Scouts brings it out even more with them,” Horn said. The girls went door-to-door, put up fliers and solicited friends to donate for the drive, which had a goal of 1,000 pairs of socks. “It was tons of work,” said troop member Anna Schrimpl, 8. Anna’s mother, Natalie, said the girls did not know how many socks they had collected until Horn dumped all

the socks out for the girls at a meeting. “We were screaming,” Anna said. Natalie said the girls were able to collect a variety of socks for different ages. Terri O’Neill-Borders, founder of the Hope and Friendship Foundation, said she has been grateful for the donations the last couple of years. She said Horn originally wanted to collect mittens but she told Horn she needed socks more. Socks are one of the most essential items people wear, yet one of the last things they replace, she said. Unlike other donations that are gently used, sock dona-

tions need to be new because of the wear put on used socks, she said. “You put on a new pair of socks, it just feels really good,” she said. “It’s like a big hug to your foot.” Students from the National Junior Honor Society at Old Quarry helped sort all the clothing donations last Friday in the Old Quarry cafeteria. Old Quarry principal Bill Caron said the NJHS has been involved with the sorting previous years at the Lemont Safety Village, and the project was moved to the school this year in order to have a larger space. O’Neill-Borders said it was also good to have the volunteer opportunity at the school

because it made it more convenient for students to participate. “Our kids at this age, they want to help, but they have to depend on people to get them there,” she said. The Brownies were excited enough with the sock drive that they want to participate again next year. “I think they just realized that if they just worked together as a team and put their efforts together, they can accomplish great things,” Natalie Schrimpl said. Anna said that participating in the sock drive was special to her. “I was helping other people who needed socks around Lemont,” she said.

Priest with Lemont ties linked to list of sex abuse accusations SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LEMONT – The Archdiocese of Chicago last week released documents related to priests accused of sexual misconduct, including one who worked at a Lemont parish for six months. Rev. John Hefferan served as parochial administrator for St. Alphonsus Parish in Lemont from July 2002 to January 2003 while the parish was inbetween pastors.

The documents show official meetings and discussions the archdiocese and review boards had about the accused priests. None of the accused priests whose documents were released are currently in the ministry. Several of the accused priests lived in a facility for retired priests in Lemont. Hefferan was first accused of sexual misconduct in 1993, stemming from an incident that allegedly took place between 1977 and 1978 while at St. Vianney Parish in Northlake. A review board allowed him to stay in the ministry under observation and later discontinued the monitoring because it believed he was unlikely to repeat the sexual misconduct. The second accusation was

An independent review board determined there was reasonable cause to suspect sexual misconduct with a minor had occurred and Hefferan was removed from the ministry.

Ward will give a introductory speech for the event. He said the VFW was founded in 1946 by World War II veterans who wanted to honor the fallen soldiers from Lemont. “I’m sure the many of the founding members of the post, if not all of them, had grown up with [those killed in action],” he said. Having just held a Veterans Day ceremony, Ward said he hopes residents take the time to remember everyone who died fighting for this country Inside the VFW Hall, there are plaques for all 29 Lemont residents who died in action during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

LEMONT – The Lemont VFW Post is rarely referred to by its full name – Lemont 22 Honor Post 5819. The 22 refers to the number of Lemont residents who died in action during World War II. In honor of the 70th anniversary of D-Day, the Lemont Area Historical Society will host a World War II-themed program at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the VFW Post, 15780 New Ave., Lemont. Historical society vice president Rose Yates said the program will include first-hand accounts from World War II, including recent Honor Flight participants Joe Forzley and Jesse Tasharski, both of Lemont. They hope to also have a 92-year-old World War II bombardier, she said. Attendees are encouraged to bring World War II memorabilia to share. Yates said the event is part of the historical society’s recent effort to have on site programs. “If we get a good location, we get more attendance,” she said. VFW Post Commander Bill

Lemont VFW Post 5819 Cmdr. Bill Ward speaks at a Veterans Day ceremony Tuesday that included Lemont police and fire officials and was attended by Old Quarry Middle School students.

OUR VIEW

We owe our veterans more Tuesday was Veterans Day, when we honor those who have served in America’s armed forces. It’s wonderful to honor our veterans. For all they have done, they deserve a day to be given accolades. There were 19.6 million military veterans in the United States as of 2013, according to the Census Bureau. Of those, 9.3 million were 65 years and older, and 1.6 million were younger than 35. In 2013, there were 3.6 million veterans with a service-connected disability, which is one that was a result of a disease or injury incurred or aggravated during active military service. They served because they believed in something bigger than themselves: They believed in their country. The sacrificed for the benefit of others. They understood that a country that cherishes freedom as an ideal requires some give up their freedom for the benefit of others. In many ways, our country fails veterans. Think of how many have had to wait

to get serviced at the nation’s veterans hospitals. Multiple deployments to dangerous, hostile lands can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder or suicide: There are 30,000 to 32,000 U.S. deaths from suicide a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and of those, about 20 percent are veterans. We owe them more. Saying thank you to a veteran, or attending a Veterans Day ceremony to honor them, is a wonderful, heartfelt gesture. But we cannot stop with that: We must demand our veterans receive the care they deserve for giving their all for their counrty. We must show our gratitude every day, not just the one day a year set aside for doing so. As John F. Kennedy once said, “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”

Mask maker opens doors to horror exhibit WESTMONT – J. Anthony Kosar has hit it big in the special effects industry, but he’s sticking to his roots right here in the western suburbs. Kosar, of Lisle, will open the doors to his Kosart Effects Studio in Westmont for the fourth annual “Maleficium Dark Art Exhibit” beginning this Saturday. The exhibit will debut with an artists reception that is free and open to the public from 3 to 10 p.m. Saturday at the studio, 760 Burr Oak Drive in Westmont. Afterward, it runs through Dec. 19, with viewings by appointment only after Saturday’s reception. Kosar gained fame in his industry after winning the SyFy Channel’s “Face Off” television show in 2013. Kosar beat out 14 other artists competing against each other to create makeup effects. More than 50 artists will have work featured at Saturday’s show, submitting everything from paintings to masks to drawings to digital pieces, including a short film. Of course, some of Kosar’s work will be on display, notably

some of his masks. Legendary horror artist Clive Barker will have a piece on display as well. “Every piece has meaning and it’s not there to just shock or offend people,” Kosar said. “They’re fun nightmares, like windows into artists’ minds. ... It’s monster-based with dark humor, but it’s not gruesome in any way.” Throughout the year, Kosar teaches special effects classes – everything from makeup effects to mask sculpting – at his Westmont studio. The teacher role is becoming a familiar one for Kosar, who will return to “Face Off” season eight in January as a mentor for one of the contestants. “It’s going to be an awe-

some new season. This time, it will be fun in that my capacity is different – I won’t be competing but instead I’ll be guiding and helping new contestants,” he said. Kosar has found teaching to be very rewarding. One of his students – Dina Cimarusti – won last season’s “Face Off” competition. “Being able to inspire them and mentor and coach their creativity had been really rewarding,” he said. “You’re also learning from the stu-

dents. They tend to ask the right questions or questions you hadn’t thought of before.” Kosar invited the community to attend Saturday. “It’s going to be a fun night,” he said. “We have a lot of people who come [to the exhibit] who aren’t necessarily into this kind of dark art but they end up glad that they came. ... Every year, [the artwork] has gotten progressively more impressive.” For information, visit www.KosartGallery.com.

Restaurant reviews

Armand’s Pizzeria flavors artful space ELMHURST – Having heard the restaurant’s roots go back to 1956, and that a family recipe for thin-crust pizza is behind the longevity, we decided to visit Armand’s Pizzeria in downtown Elmhurst. It was a Sunday evening, and the happy surprise of the day’s half-price ribs deal meant all our favorite food groups were covered. The menu extends to Italian staples, as well as sandwiches, salads, steaks and its signature stuffed artichoke and baked clam appetizers. Making the visuals of the dining room a standout are oversized artworks paying playful homage to Italy. One side celebrates famed visages from antiquity and the other salutes contemporary portraits with a fun vibe. An inviting bar offers a dozen stools for seating and several unobtrusive televisions nearby. As we relaxed on a comfy banquette, our diligent server brought a bread basket with two choices. The standard slices paled in comparison to the marinara-and-spice focaccia bread that we happily polished off before it could cool. Next, with ribs on our minds, we decided to turn a half slab into a shared appetizer. It was a perfect choice. The ribs were meaty and tender, bathed in a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce for rich, satisfying flavor that hit all the right notes. And given that it was a dinner item, it was accompanied by a hearty minestrone and a vegetable medley that had us feeling downright virtuous. My dining companion had to try the thin-crust pizza, ordering it with the house-made Italian sausage, along with spinach, tomato and mushrooms. It came loaded with toppings on a crispy, cornmeal-dusted crust with a delicate tomato sauce base, and deeply fennel-infused sausage in the old-school tradition. I opted for the chicken

Marsala, a dish featuring the aforementioned fortified wine for the mushroom-laced sauce. My plate arrived with a generously portioned chicken breast smothered in a sauce packed with wonderful mushroom slices.

After the richly satisfying ribs, I couldn’t do justice to it, and went home with another meal for us to share. About to celebrate its 60th anniversary, Armand’s currently has a second full-service restaurant in Arlington

PEORIA – After going on a mission trip for two weeks during the latter stages of summer, Lemont senior Jorie Dybcio returned for the start of cross country practice and saw a different Indians’ team. With the addition of a couple of new faces, Lemont went on to record their best-ever state finish, placing fourth in Class 2A Saturday. The previous top showings were 16th place in 2008 and 2010. “It was real crazy,” Dybcio said. “Over the summer, we only had a core of three or four that would stick together. Then when I came back, there were a group of other girls that were blowing me away. It really came together over those few weeks. Everyone worked together and accomplished things that were amazing.” The Indians, who had captured conference, regional and sectional titles in the weeks leading up to state, finished with a point total of 191, which was just four points away from the third-place trophy. “It was so exhilarating,” said Dybcio, who was limited to a few meets during her sophomore and junior campaigns due to injury. “The whole season we were able to get better, and to be able to finish in the top-five is out of this world. We were all very excited and it was a great way to end my senior year.” Lemont was led by junior Taylor Campos, who snagged all-state honors with her 23rdplace finish, setting a new school record time of 17:56 in a three-mile race. “It was really exciting,” Campos said. “I really couldn’t have done it without the help of my coach and my teammates. We all work together every day, and they definitely helped push me along. I did set a goal of being all-state before the season started, so I’m really happy to say that I accomplished that goal.” Sophomore Bridget Kun-

Lemont’s Taylor Campos runs at the Class 1A state cross country meet Saturday at Detweiller Park. kel was 56th in 18:34, junior Claire Gagen followed in 59th in 18:35, and junior Gabby Voltarel (63rd) and freshman Beata Drozda (65th) both posted times of 18:37. Freshman was 67th in 18:40 and Dybcio rounded out the group in 124th (19:25).

“Our team has been so strong this year,” Campos said. “We worked together for the common goal of placing as high as we could. We knew that if we gave the same amount of effort as we have every day, we could place as high as we did.”

It could be more of the same a year from now as the Indians lose just Dybcio from their top-seven. “I’m so proud of them,” Dybcio said. “I was like a mom to them all season. And knowing that they are losing only one senior, who knows that they

can accomplish [next fall].” Bringing home a trophy next season will be the goal. “Knowing how close we were to trophy-ing this year, we definitely have a shot next year,” Campos said. “We can still grow as a team. The sky is the limit.”

Receiver Flynn Nagel hauled in a 17-yard touchdown pass from Dawson with 9:20 to play in the third quarter to cap a six-play, 51-yard drive and he caught a Dawson pass from 18 yards out with 1:46 to play in the third quarter to finish a six-play, 59yard scoring drive. “I think when we play our best football it’s going to be real scary for an opposing defense,” Nagel said. “When the defense plays their best football against an opposing

offense, it’s going to be really scary, too. “We had a few mental mistakes that we can correct. Mentally, we have to be prepared for next week because if we’re not, we could go home.” Dawson completed 14 of 21 passes for 174 yards and four touchdowns. Nagel caught four passes for 58 yards. He also rushed three times for 49. Running back Anthony Martin rushed 22 times for 103 yards and one touchdown, a 14-yard run in the first quarter. The Indians’ defense limit-

ed Yorkville running back Michael Kurtz to 132 yards on 32 carries. “Our defense is always well prepared,” Nagel said. “They get after it in practice, and every week they come to play. When we correct the little things as a team, we’re going to be pretty dangerous.”

Yorkville scored a touchdown to cut the deficit to 21-7 at halftime. “Our coaches wanted us to stop them early and get momentum going so we could build up some points with our offense,” Pignone said “We were so eager to get out there and make a stop and give our offense the ball.” The Indians scored touch-

of Yorkville 35-14 last Saturday, Lemont will face its stiffest test of the season thus far in the form of Richards, which is riding a nine-game winning streak. The Bulldogs feature an explosive offense, one that hasn’t scored less than 32 points since a week-two loss to Geneva. The Indians have been dominant on both sides of the ball this season. The defense has three shutouts on the year and has allowed just 59 points over the past seven weeks while the offense has scored 40 or more points seven times.

LEMONT – Coach Bret Kooi didn’t think his offense executed with its usual sharpness, but the Indians had enough to beat Yorkville 35-14 on Saturday in the second round of the Class 6A football playoffs. “If you thought we were clicking, then you should see us when we are clicking,” Kooi said. “We did not play very well offensively. “It’s not that we played extremely poor, but they did what smart football teams do. They forced us to throw underneath and run the ball. Our kids did that and it was good, but there are things we have to do communication-wise that we have to get better at.” The Indians (11-0) will play at Richards on Saturday in the 6A quarterfinal. Lemont’s offense was aided by its defense. The Indians led 7-0 with 3:37 to play in the first quarter when linebacker Frank Pignone intercepted the Foxes’ Nathan Scott at the Yorkville 32. On the next play, Indians quarterback Ryan Dawson hit receiver Steven Fleming with a 32-yard touchdown pass to put Lemont ahead 14-0 with 1:27 to play in the first quarter. The Foxes’ next offensive series ended when Lemont defensive back Matt Martenson inter-
