A special birthday gift Student forgoes presents to help sick children

Layla Topete

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The gate blocking First Street from Berkley Lane was opened Wednesday afternoon, connecting the two roads as part of a construction project on First Street. Striping has been finished on the road and stop signs have been added along First Street at its intersections with Schultz Street and Berkeley Lane, according to Lemont Public Works Director Ralph Pukula. Pukula said the village has made a request to ComEd for street lights at the intersections. During construction, road workers widened First Street and added sidewalk to its west side to accommodate an expected increase in traffic. Residents of the subdivision have expressed outrage about the project, which they believe will put pedestrians at risk. The space between the road and the houses on the east side is too narrow for a sidewalk to be installed. The location of Bethany Lutheran Cemetery also prevents the sidewalk on the west side from being extended north to McCarthy Road. In another construction update, Pukula said traffic lights at the intersection of Walker and McCarthy roads will not be installed until the spring.

By KRISTIN PEDICINI kpedicini@shawmedia.com When 7-year-old Oakwood Elementary School student Layla Topete told her parents she wanted to help sick children at the expense of her birthday presents, they weren’t surprised. “Over summer she saw something on TV about someone who had helped an orphanage in lieu of getting birthday gifts,” her mother said. “She said to me and my husband ‘I don’t want or need any presents, I want to do something to help sick kids.’” Layla’s parents, Amie and Rey, were proud of their daughter, but not caught off gaurd by the act of kindness. Amie said it’s just Layla’s personality. “She came up with it on her own and pushed me to follow through with it,” Amie said. As Layla’s birthday on Oct. 24 approached, she asked her mom to find a local group to which she could donate. “I wanted to find somewhere that wasn’t just looking for monetary donations,” Amie said. “I searched a bunch and found Almost Home Kids.” Almost Home Kids (AHK), located in Naperville, provides transitional care for children in serious medical

tations with a letter explaining Layla’s donation idea and the organization’s wish list, which consists of paper towels, sanitizer, diapers, children’s books, DVDs, Wii games and more. “The response was overwhelming,” Amie said. “It

was just awesome … We had my car absolutely packed.” The donations – more than $800 worth – were delivered in early November. Layla hopes to inspire other kids her age. “I was just spreading the word so everyone could know,” Layla said. “My favorite part was delivering everything and meeting all the children. It made me feel really happy and excited.” Lemont resident Linda Kennedy, who taught Layla in preschool, said she has always been a giving and caring child, even at ages 3 and 4. “If she saw someone looking sad, she’d come right over to that person and say, ‘Do you want to play with me?’” she said. Kennedy also remembered when Layla donated her long hair to Locks of Love. Finding Almost Home Kids was a perfect fit for Layla’s “philanthropist in the making.” “It’s just a ‘Layla’ thing to do,” Amie said. “There are some things you can’t teach your kids and she was born with that little something extra.”

Will County, union make little progress SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA Contract negotiations between Will County and members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) left each side accusing the other of being ill-prepared to make progress, according to news releases from both organizations. Members of the AFSCME went on strike Nov. 18, including employees in the county court system, health department, highway department,

Sunny Hill Nursing Home, county jail and in the offices of the sheriff, coroner, recorder, assessor, clerk, chief judge, circuit clerk, executive and state’s attorney. Will County Executive Larry Walsh said the AFSCME did not come with a counter proposal on a contract, according to a county news release. “After a week of picketing county facilities, and over a week since the last negotiations session broke off, the union was not able to give us

a meaningful counter offer and move us towards a resolution,” Walsh said in the release. AFSCME Local 1028 President Dave Delrose said in a union news release that the union was prepared to bargain, but the county was not ready. “Inexplicably, the county failed to bring its consultants on health care issues,” he said in the release. “As a result, county officials said they were unable to fully respond to AFSCME’s proposals on

TRUTH IN TAXATION PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX INCREASE FOR LEMONT PARK DISTRICT, COOK, DUPAGE AND WILL COUNTIES, ILLINOIS. I. A public hearing to approve a proposed property tax levy increase for Lemont Park District for 2013 (payable in 2014) will be held on Tuesday, December 10th, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. at Centennial Community Center. Any person desiring to appear at the public hearing and present testimony to the taxing district may contact Ms. Louise Egofske, Executive Director, Lemont Park District 16028 – 127th St., Lemont, IL 60439, 630-257-6787. II. The corporate and special purpose property taxes extended or abated for 2012 (payable in 2013) were $2,189,821. The proposed corporate and special purpose property taxes to be levied for 2013 (payable in 2014) are $2,323,925. This represents a 6.12% increase over the previous year. III. The property taxes extended for debt service and public building commission leases for 2012 (payable in 2013) were $2,003,421. The estimated property taxes to be levied for debt service and public building commission leases for 2013 (payable in 2014) are $1,921,967. This represents a 4.07% decrease over the previous year. IV. The total property taxes extended or abated for 2012 (payable in 2013) were $4,193,242. The estimated total property taxes to be levied for 2013 (payable in 2014) are $4,245,892. This represents a 1.25% increase over the November 29, 2013 previous year. Lemont Suburban Life 6947

health premiums.” In the Will County release, Walsh countered that the union could have requested the information last week and showed a lack of preparation. “This type of conduct has been a recurring problem and has led to repeated delays throughout the many months of negotiations,” he said. “This has to stop if we want to reach an agreement.” The county is accusing the union of distributing propaganda flyers with inaccurate information about what the

county was offering in the negotiations, according to its release. In the union release, Delrose said some progress is being made, but he is disturbed by what he called a mischaracterization of the negotiations by Walsh. “Progress may be slow and difficult, but the situation isn’t helped by county officials hurling insults instead of working to reach an agreement that restores county services as soon as possible,” he said in the release.

Lemont cracks down on building permits, unpaid traffic tickets By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The Lemont Village Board of Trustees approved an amendment to the Lemont Building Code during its Nov. 25 meeting that will require all new construction and remodeling projects to be started within 30 days of receiving the building permit. Previously, all permits were given six months to start and one year to finish. Under the amended code, new construction projects would need to be finished within a year and remodeling would need to be finished in six months. All other permits will require the project to be completed in 45 days. Lemont Building Commissioner Mark LaChappell said the village will allow permit renewals for people who do not start the project within 30 days if there are mitigating circumstances. Otherwise, the person would have to reapply for the permit. LaChappell said the department’s new software program no longer allows it to set notices for when it needs to check on construction permits. He said it will be easier for the department to keep track of when to check on permits with a 30-day deadline.

Tax Levy hearing held The village of Lemont held a public hearing on its 2013 property tax levy during its Monday Village Board of Trustees meeting. No comments were made. The board will vote on the property tax levy ordinance and tax levy abatement ordinances at its Dec. 9 meeting. The tax levy of $2.85 million is a 2.5 percent increase from the previous year. Most people who receive permits are ready to start immediately, he said. LaChappell also said six months is too long to wait before the village is required to inspect the project. “If we wait six months, the job could be done, there was no inspections and there are problems,” he said. The village also approved an ordinance amendment reducing the number of outstanding traffic tickets needed before the village can tow or put a boot on a vehicle to three. According to the ordinance, vehicle owners will still receive notice of impending vehicle immobilization and will have a right to a hearing before or after the immobilization.

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.

Call for your

Did you know that medications to treat autoimmune conditions can WEAKEN your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer? here is a time to use medications but not before a NATURAL way to manage the underlying imbalance. So how do I help people with autoimmune disorders? I use a combination of speciic NEUROLOGICAL protocols and NUTRITION recommendations… Neuro-Metabolic herapy. Your Brain (nervous System) controls all other systems of the body. It controls your immune system. digestive system, endocrine (hormone) system… so if you have an immune system imbalance or autoimmune condition, evaluating and managing the nervous system is required for optimal improvement.

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

Testimonials I was diagnosed with Graves Disease (autoimmune thyroid) three years ago. My endocrinologist recommended surgery to remove my thyroid and put me on medication for the rest of my life. I searched for an alternative treatment to save my thyroid and found Dr. Forzley. hrough comprehensive lab testing he found out what was causing my immune system to attack my thyroid. I have been receiving treatments and following his recommendations exactly and my lab numbers are now normal, my endocrinologist is happy, my medication has been reduced in half and I feel better. I highly recommend Dr. Forzley and his natural approach. Samantha R. I sufered from unbearable itching caused by Hives (chronic autoimmune Urticaria) for over 33 years. Steroid medications helped the symptoms temporarily but the side efects were bad. Ater an in-depth blood and metabolic analysis, Dr. Forzley found the cause of my problem. Ater 4-5 months of strictly following his recommendations, my hives are completely gone and I feel great. Cheryl P. If your immune system is not managed properly, your condition can worsen, result in a poor quality of life, cause a shortening of the length of your life and cause other autoimmune disorders. Holistic herapy can manage autoimmune conditions by: 1) inding and balancing the underlying cause. 2) lowering the self destructive efects of the immune system. 3) using natural therapies that work with your body.

I can work with your immune system NATURALLY and balance the TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17. You can never be cured of an autoimmune disorder. BUT, you can get symptom relief and calm down the immune attack on you own body. You must get a detailed immune system evaluation followed by speciic recommendation based on those tests. Guess what stimulates TH1?Vitamin C. But if you are TH1 dominant, Taking vitamin C will WORSEN your immune response. hat’s right worsen. We need to identify which part of your immune system is dominant in order to calm down the immune system. I don’t treat or cure autoimmune disorders. By using speciic neurological and nutritional protocols, I help to decrease your body’s inlammation, detoxify your body, balance TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17 which NATURALLY boosts your immune system. THAT is how I address autoimmune disorders.

Appreciating members at Lemont’s CORE The Lemont Park District CORE Fitness & Aquatic Complex (The CORE) means many different things to many different people. To some, it’s a place where they lift weights or shoot hoops with friends. To others, it’s a place to take an energetic Zumba class a couple times a week. Parents come to The CORE to cheer on their Dolphin swimmers at indoor meets. And six-, seven- and eight year-olds by the dozens join in the fun at the Itty Bitty Hoops Basketball program. COMMUNITY Whether someone’s grandVOICE parents are enjoying their Kim daily workout in the fitness Passini center or someone is training for their next marathon on the indoor track – which is free to all Lemont Residents - The CORE is always buzzing with positive energy. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, November is CORE Member Appreciation Month. We feel that this is a perfect time of year to show our gratitude to all our loyal CORE Members. As a token of appreciation, The CORE has been offering its members special discounts on CORE Gear, the facility’s high quality line of workout apparel and accessories. Also, each week a CORE Gear bag has been awarded to lucky CORE members. Weekly goodies have also made an appearance at The CORE, such as fresh fruit, cold bottled water and Gatorade and free “Keep Calm and CORE On” hand sanitizers, all complimentary to CORE members. In addition to the above perks, the district also offers CORE members a CORE rewards program. This “members only” benefits program includes premium guest pass pricing as well as a refer-a-friend program. Members are also invited to free health-focused seminars brought to you by ATI Physical Therapy, throughout the year. We are pleased to announce that The CORE will be offering a Black Friday weekend special this year. If anyone signs up for a CORE or CORE-Fit membership during Black Friday weekend, Nov. 28 through Dec. 1, the new member will receive no enrollment fee, plus the first 50 new members will receive a $5 Lemont Park District gift card. The offer applies to CORE and CORE-Fit memberships only. The district continues to receive positive feedback from residents and area visitors regarding The CORE. As the director of recreation and fitness, I get to hear so many good things about The CORE and all it has to offer. Happy holidays everyone, and I hope to see you at The CORE!

Krystyna’s Jewelry employee Gina Threet (left) and owner Dorothy Retzke, both Lemont residents, prepared for the store’s grand opening last weekend.

Lemont resident Dorothy Retzke relocated her business, Krystyna’s Jewelry, from Chicago to Lemont recently, citing a strong local customer base as the reason for the move. We welcome Krystyna’s to the village and wish them great success. Old Quarry Middle School saw its third bomb threat in as many months last week, an event that spurred an online petition from parents. We sympathize with the frustrated teachers, parents and administrators, and hope this recurring issue will come to an end, so everyone at Old Quarry can focus on learning without feeling threatened or afraid.

8SOUND OFF Veterans Day is not a holiday? I’m calling out the village of Downers Grove. Apparently, on Veterans Day, the village of Downers Grove didn’t feel that that was a holiday. So on all their parking signs that said “No parking, except Saturdays, Sundays or holidays” you would get a ticket if you’re parked there. When I went to the police department I was told by a dispatcher it must be a mistake. So I filled out a form and a police officer called me back. He had to look it up to see if it was a holiday. The chief of police then advised me that Downers Grove doesn’t recognize Veterans Day as an actual holiday as it is not on their approved list of holidays. But the day after Thanksgiving and the day before Christmas are considered holidays according to Downers Grove. I think this is outrageous that they don’t honor our vets and consider a federal holiday an actual parking day.

Rake your leaves I’ve been raking my leaves all the time only to have my neighbor’s leaves, which they don’t rake, blow into my yard. Come on neighbor, you’re a nice guy, please do your job.

in our water roll-off program in which they’re considering based on the rain water in the stormwater system. It’s just a shame that we’re wasting money on employees that aren’t performing.

Westmont stormwater fee a tax This is a response to Westmont’s proposed stormwater fee. This is a tax, not a so-called fee. Westmont homeowners pay enough and are overburdened by taxes already. You are modeling this tax after Downers Grove’s. We are not Downers Grove. We need to stop raising taxes and making new taxes when everyone has tightened their belts. There are more people on government aid than are working in Illinois. What next? New taxes for snow plowing, road maintenance, street sweeping? Why should property owners pay for a very small percentage of people who elected to buy houses in low-lying areas? That’s why flood insurance is available. Why not put a fee on new homes that are being built that tax the sewer system? Why not get the community development team to work and get Westmont some significant tax dollars instead of small mom and pop stores that are usually closed after year? Signed, a very concerned and already overtaxed Westmont homeowner.

I am a resident of Westmont, and Saturday, Nov. 30 is Small Business Saturday in which people are encouraged to shop locally with their minority and mom and pop private businesses. Incentives are received and money stays within the community. I am appalled when I drove through Westmont knowing the committee we have to develop businesses in our community on how many stores are vacant and available anywhere from the tracks north to Ogden Avenue. Certainly this is not a sign of the times as Hinsdale, Downers Grove and Naperville seem to be thriving. I think we need to consider Against stormwater fee major changes to bring the revenue in that we need. Maybe I’ve lived in a subdivision in Westmont for 16 years. The vilthen we won’t receive a fee

lage has refused to do anything about all of the flooding and the water that we have in our yard and neighbors yards, et cetera, but now they’re going to charge us. Another way to get money. Just like the government – wanting to take your money and not do anything for it.

Clean the drains? The village of Downers Grove is advertising in our little Village Corner that they want the fee payers to help keep the storm grates free and clear of leaves and other debris, but excuse me, isn’t that why we pay a fee for stormwater management? Call the village or attend a village council meeting and demand they keep the drains clean, seeing how we’re paying for that service.

Sick of Toronto mayor I, for one, am getting a little sick of all the slamming of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. Why don’t we discuss when our mayor of the capitol of the United States of America was caught smoking crack. Remember Marion Barry? Some of you weren’t alive then, but I remember it quite well. And they practically just slapped him on the wrist, and next thing you know he’s running for office again and gets put back in. Isn’t that a slap in the face tor all American people? I know some states you can be elected for office as a felon, but come on let’s hear a little bit about him and hear more about that situation.

MYSTERY DINER Restaurant reviews

Scarletti’s: Cozy atmosphere, comfort food DOWNERS GROVE – With its quaint setting and madefrom-scratch fare, Scarletti’s Italian Kitchen is a great escape, whether it be from wintry temps, a stressful workday or the craze of holiday shopping. A colleague and I headed out to the downtown Downers Grove restaurant on a recent weeknight. Once we stepped into the cozy restaurant, any leftover frustration from the rush hour traffic and chilly weather was replaced with ease from the warmly lit atmosphere and tasty scents wafting from Scarletti’s kitchen. The attractive dining room makes for an intimate setting, whether you’re with a significant other, family, friends or a business partner, and overlooks the city right along Main Street with large windows. Once seated, we soon were greeted with Scarletti’s customary basket of bread and marinara dipping sauce. It was a nice change-up from the standard bread-and-oil setups at most Italian restaurants, and nearly made for an appetizer on its own. Still, we had to try the bruschetta appetizer, which proved a good call with its combination of fresh tomato and basil, prepared with a balsamic drizzle for added style and flavor points. For our main courses, my colleague, in the mood for a hearty, home-cooked meal, opted for the Chianti Braised Short Ribs, an interesting selection he was very happy with.

Can Bears’ defense stop Adrian Peterson? Hub Arkush

For the most part, things have not gone well for the Minnesota Vikings since the Bears last saw them in Soldier Field the second week of the season. But after all kinds of turmoil at the quarterback position because of injury and the surprising signing of Josh Freeman, who then failed miserably in his one start before suffering a concussion, the Vikings look an awful lot like the club the Bears barely got by in Week 2 with their 31-30 victory on a last-minute touchdown pass from Jay Cutler to Martellus Bennett. Christian Ponder appears to be firmly re-entrenched as the starting quarterback, and Adrian Peterson will be coming off one of his best games of the season in Green Bay, where the Vikings played the Packers

to a tie in overtime. Most of the biggest questions in this matchup will be about the Bears’ mindset after the egg they laid in St. Louis on Sunday, and whether they have any hope at all of slowing Peterson with the worst run defense in the NFL. Peterson rushed for 146 yards on 32 carries and a touchdown in five quarters of football, and while he hasn’t approached his 2012 heroics, he was still the NFL’s second-leading rusher before the Redskins-49ers game Monday night with 997 total yards, a 4.4 average and 10 touchdowns. Ponder has been a threat on the ground with 34 scrambles for 151 yards and four touchdowns, and he’s completing 64.5 percent of his passes for a 78.7 passer rating, seven touchdowns and nine interceptions. While his passing numbers on the season don’t scare you, he did complete 21 of 30 throws for 233 yards and a 103.9 passer rating Sunday at Lambeau. Greg Jennings and Jerome Simpson have been up and down, but are

reliable targets for Ponder when the Vikings are playing well. Cordarrelle Patterson is a factor in the kick return game, but is still struggling to find himself as a receiver. On defense, the Vikings have struggled all year. They are 30th in total defense, 14th versus the run but 29th against the pass. They are 23rd in interception percentage and 26th rushing the quarterback. On the defensive line, Jared Allen and Kevin Williams are former all pros who are both still capable of having big games, but don’t do it on a regular basis any more. LeTroy Guion and Brian Robison still are starting as well, and this is the unit that helped key the Vikings playoff run in 2012, but they have all struggled this year. Chad Greenway is still the guy you have to identify on Minnesota’s defense, and he’ll make plays all over the field, but Erin Henderson in the middle and Marvin Mitchell on the weak side are guys the Bears should be able to exploit. Josh Robinson and Chris Cook are

third- and second-round draft picks, respectively, on the corners who are both athletic and fast enough but terribly inconsistent, which is why this team is 29th in pass defense. The safeties, Jamarca Sanford and Andrew Sendejo, aren’t bad forcing the run, but do struggle in coverage. At the end of the day for the Bears, this one comes down to what are they going to do about Peterson? After going off for a 140 on the ground week nine against the Cowboys, Peterson had been held in check by the Redskins and Seahawks before exploding again in Green Bay. The unfortunate fact is if the Vikings climb on Peterson’s back, there is little the Bears will be able to do but get into a shootout. The good news is that Josh McCown continues to flourish in Marc Trestman’s offense, and the Bears have a lot more weapons on offense than Minnesota, giving them an excellent chance to prevail by piling up points, which is exactly what happened the last time they got together.

THANKSGIVING DAY PREVIEW Packers at Lions, 11:30 a.m. This game not only features several intriguing fantasy matchups, it also is pivotal to the NFC North. The big

Stafford should be productive against the Packers’ 18thranked defense. The Packers equally are mediocre versus the run and the pass, so start Reggie Bush.

Raiders at Cowboys, 3:30 p.m. The late-afternoon game should be a bonanza for Tony Romo and Dez Bryant. The Raiders’ defense ranks No. 8 against the run, but a dismal No. 25 versus the pass. It would be a surprise if Romo didn’t crest 300 yards and throw at least two touchdown passes, probably more. Jason Witten also is a must start. Terrance Williams has disappeared, and

all other Cowboys’ receivers would seem to be afterthoughts at this point. Although the Raiders are respectable against the run – sticking with the idea that this will be a shootout – start DeMarco Murray and Dan Bailey. The Cowboys actually have the weaker defense in this contest, ranking last in points and passing yards. Assuming Darren McFadden will be in street clothes, Rashard Jennings is a great play. If Denarius Moore returns, he is a solid play. If not, take a close look at Rod Streater.

Steelers at Ravens, 7:30 p.m. Two good, but not great, defenses face off in the night game. Ben Roethlisberger has averaged 22 fantasy points over the past four weeks. He has been up and down, however. He might be looking at something around 15 points this week. The Steelers still drive fantasy owners crazy

with their running-back rotation, but Le’Veon Bell is clearly the best option. This week, he’s probably looking at 10 to 14 points. Antonio Brown is a top-five fantasy receiver and an obvious play. After Brown, it gets dicey. Jerricho Cotchery had emerged during weeks 9-11, but he went without a reception against the Browns. After lighting up the Bears in week 11, Ray Rice reverted to his 2013 form against the Jets (16 carries for 30 yards). Although the Jets are stout against the run, it’s time to look at Rice as a No. 3 fantasy back or flex option. In smaller leagues, he’s probably not worth a roster spot. After kicker Justin Tucker and receiver Torrey Smith, the Ravens do not offer much in this game. Given his recent production, it’s hard to recommend Joe Flacco. Call it a gut instinct: He scores 20-plus points against Pittsburgh.

The bye weeks are over, but week 13 presents a new challenge for fantasy owners: Three Thursday games. Ah, Thanksgiving! Nothing beats spending time with loved ones, enjoying a fine feast … and getting a jump on your fantasy opponent! I’m not suggesting that Aunt Mildred’s discussions aren’t riveting, but it’s always fun to have players going on Thanksgiving. A closer look at Thursday’s games will help you determine which players can help your team and those who are likely to be … turkeys (ouch).

question, of course, is whether Aaron Rodgers will play. As of Monday morning, his status was uncertain. Matt Flynn came to the rescue last week against Minnesota, taking over for a struggling Scott Tolzien. Obviously, the Packers are a stronger play if it’s Rodgers, but either quarterback should produce. Flynn seemed to have a connection with Jarrett Boykin, who hauled in five receptions and a touchdown in the second half. The Lions’ defense is ranked No. 28 against the pass. Boykin, James Jones and Jordy Nelson are solid starts. Kicker Mason Crosby also is in for a good day. It might be tougher for Eddie Lacy – Detroit is No. 4 against the run – but we still like the talented rookie this week. The Lions are among the league’s dumbest teams. They also are one of the most talented. Calvin Johnson is an obvious start and Matthew

8BOYS BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Wisz leads inexperienced Indians into 2013-14 season By SCOTT SCHMID

Lemont Indians

sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Many faces on the court this winter for the Lemont boys basketball team will look vastly different from a year ago, when the squad posted a record of 23-4. But the relative lack of experience on the Indians’ roster doesn’t mean that the sky is falling. “I’m excited, but in a different way,” Lemont coach Rick Runaas said. “Of course you are always hoping to be successful with wins and losses, but I’m a little more tempered in regards to that. I’m excited to see how it works out and how they come together and I believe it will.” One reason for optimism is the return of Mike Wisz, who averaged 14.9 points per game a year ago to go along with 4.6 rebounds and 2.7 steals. “He’s bigger and stronger and we are expecting great things,” Runaas said. “We’ve actually put in a new set and I named it after him. He said shouldn’t we name it something else, that other teams will know it is coming to him. And I told him, ‘Every coach knows we are going to try to get you the ball so get used to it.’” Luis Marquez, David Czupta and Ben Groselak also return to the team, but they saw limited minutes in 2012-13. Groselak especially will see his role increase as he takes over the point guard position from last year’s leading scorer, Juozas Balciunas. “Ben is an outstanding young man,” the coach said. “He understands he is not Juozas and he is OK with that. But he can be successful in his own way.” A high scoring team a year ago, Lemont might have to change things around this

Lemont’s Mike Wisz drives to the basket against Romeoville last season. Wisz is one of just a few players returning to the court for the Indians this winter. winter. “It’s interesting, we may have to slow down the tempo at times,” the coach said. “I don’t like to do that, but we may have to.”

One thing that shouldn’t be lacking is confidence, especially after the success that the Indians have had over the previous two seasons. “I think the success the

last few years has been beneficial in the sense that it has brought more confidence to the program,” Runaas said. “A lot of our success this year will be based on our ability to han-

dle pressure. That’s the benefit of having an outstanding point guard the last couple of years, he took care of a lot of that by himself.” As for specific goals, Runaas doesn’t believe in going that route, so the Indians will just take it as it comes. “Even last year and the year before, we’ve never really done that,” he said. “It’s not something I do. We go gameby-game and the expectations and goals are to play hard every day, compete and represent our school to the best of our ability.”

The Celtics completed the game Nov. 20 after the contest was delayed at the start of the second quarter due to severe weather on Nov. 17. The squad took a 9-0 lead early in the first quarter after a long touchdown run by Bradley Benson and a successful extra point kicked by Anthony Sambucci. The score remained that way until the third quarter when the Celtics upped the margin to 15-0 on a TD run by Mark Hughes. The defense and special teams did the rest, holding the Redwings’ offense in check throughout the game while forcing seven turnovers. The Celtics had advanced to the championship game after going 8-0 during the regular season and then posting victories over St. Mary of the Woods and St. Mary’s of River-
