LEMONT – What started as a hobby for Lemont resident Annette McNeely became the Green Valley Dog Drivers in 2005, a club dedicated to dog sports.

With increased interest in the group’s services, the Green Valley Dog Drivers has outgrown its identity as a club and was incorporated as a business this year.

McNeely, the president of the business and a ranger with the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, said that with its new status, the group will be able to offer rides because they can insure the dogs.

“We get a lot of requests,” she said. “A lot of people don’t know that (dog sledding) exists in this area.”

She said Green Valley has already been giving dog sledding demonstrations, such as an event Feb. 9 at Brookfield Zoo. The business also plans to sell dog driving equipment.

“Our idea is to make everything available to people who would need to start out in a dog sport,” she said.

Though sledding is the most popular activity, McNeely said dog driving can be done yearround.

There is skateboarding, bikejoring, skijoring and canicross. Green Valley also has dogs pull three-wheel carts and ATVs without an engine.

“Anything that you can

think of that has wheels on it, your dog can pull you on it,” McNeely said.

She said the mission of the business is to help families and their dogs work together in a fun, outdoor activity.

The group encourages people to adopt rescue dogs and uses the driving activities to discipline overly energetic dogs.

“Dog sports are a great outlet,” she said. “It gives your

dogs a job to do.”

Julia Jagow, a Westmont resident and vice president of Green Valley, has been involved with the business for four years and does dog driving with her 8-year-old daughter.

She said she did not have any Siberian huskies when she first met the group, though her boyfriend owned an older husky.

“Now I own two huskies of my own, so it’s mandatory to run to tire them out,” she said.

Though huskies are the stereotypical sled-pulling dogs, McNeely said Green Valley includes several other breeds.

For instance, McNeely has a chiweenie – a chihuahua-dachshund mix – that participates.

D-113A looks into outsourcing busing

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The District 113A Board of Education heard a presentation Wednesday on the cost of hiring an outside busing company, while the district’s bus drivers made a case for keeping transportation services in the district.

The district received bids Jan. 21 from First Student and Westway Coach to see if it could save money by having one of those companies run busing services.

The results showed little difference in the compared cost for 2015, but a cost increase for district drivers in 2016 and 2017 outpaced the two bids.

In the case of First Students’ bid, the district would save $310,501 from 2015 to 2017.

District Business Manager Barbara Germany said the cost increase comes from mandatory healthcare coverage under the Affordable Care Act for some of the drivers starting in 2016.

She said the law will re-

First Student $1,033,119 $1,048,616 $1,064,345

quire the district to provide health insurance for the four kindergarten bus drivers who work more than 30 hours a week.

Germany said healthcare costs would account for about $67,000 in 2016.

The board will have a public hearing and vote on whether to outsource transportation during its April 23 meeting.

Before the presentation, district bus drivers and supporters spoke during public comment.

The drivers said they are local community members – some of them parents – and have developed relationships with district students and parents.

They said the drivers hired by an outside company may not have that same connection

with and care for the community.

“You will not find any drivers with this class,” said bus driver Ray Zick. “They’re top class drivers, quality drivers.

We all care about the students.”

The district’s presentation included potential wages and benefits if current drivers are hired by one of the outside companies.

Bus driver Kathy Kirby said she does not know if drivers would want to work for an outside company.

She said the drivers have taken a pay cut and wage freezes in recent years to help the district and they fear a job with a different company would include more cuts.

“I don’t think we would want to take more cuts,” she said.

OTHER UPDATES IN D-113A

The possibility of the lease was first brought up during the LEMONT – The District 113A Jan. 24 board meeting.

1. Financing set for technology upgrades In order to help pay for a $750,578 technology upgrade plan it passed in December, the board approved a four-year financing plan.

The plan will cost $736,176, including $164,401 annual payments and $21,388 in interest payments at a rate of 2.25 percent. Because of a cash surplus for 2013-14, the district will also make a $242,973 down payment.

2. Central School lease, roof repairs approved The board approved a lease between the district and the John Paul Polish Language School to use the vacant Central School on Fridays and Saturdays.

The terms of the lease were not disclosed because it still needs to be approved by the

3. Committee proposes additional half-days In order to allow for more collaboration time between teachers, a committee of teachers, principals and board members discussed ways to free up additional time in the school schedule.

The committee concluded the best solution was to add three more half-days during the school year. The district currently has four full institute days and three half-day school improvement days.

The committee suggested scheduling the half days on Fridays because it would interfere less with after school activities and give flexibility for families to take extended weekend trips.

The board will vote on whether to add the half-days during March.

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.

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.

Call for your FREE* 30 minute consultation: On Wednesdays. Expires 3/7/14 Go to my website, Lemontnaturalhealthcare.com, and click on “Autoimmune” for a presentation about my Autoimmune Recovery Program.

Additionally this year, the Lemont Public Library will participate by providing a story time at 10:30 a.m.

Chamber Executive Director Joanna Kmiec said the event had been held during the spring in past years.

“We moved it up to the winter this year,” she said. “We

She said 26 businesses from Lemont and other towns will have tables at the event.

Sticking with the theme “Passport to Lemont and Beyond,” attendees can have passports stamped at the tables, Kmiec said.

Those who get stamps from all the businesses can enter a raffle. The prizes are a $300

Park District Guest Services Communications Manager Carlene Dickman said the park district will offer a free look at some of its programs and amenities, including fitness classes and swim time.

There will be demonstrations of cookie and cake decorating, Lemont Park District Karate, Little Wings Music and T-USA Martial Arts.

There will also be face painting, children’s games and jumpee, Dickman said.

Kmiec said the expo is more than a means to showcase local businesses.

“It’s going to be a fun event,” she said. “It’s very family oriented.”

LEMONT – Kim and Amber Peters moved their business, Aurora Rose, A Unique Boutique, to downtown Lemont in November 2012 and say they have no plans of leaving.

The mother-daughter team have come up with some new ideas for their business, starting with a trunk show to be held every fourth Saturday.

“It was kind of something new that we were just trying to think of ways to get people down here to check us out,” Kim said.

Unlike some of the trunk shows at other businesses they saw, Aurora Rose will feature vendors that they already work with, she said.

“It’s a really nice opportunity for the neighborhood and for our customers to do a meetand-greet with some of the people who make the amazing products that we sell,” she said.

The vendors will introduce some of their new products

Children were still signing up the day of the event and continue to ask about Mrs. Claus when they visit the store.

Kim and Amber have tried to be active in the business community since they opened their store. For instance, Kim was responsible for inviting the hearse car show held last summer.

Kim wants these activities to inspire other downtown businesses.

“What we’re hoping is that by doing something that other businesses are seeing that may be interesting, maybe they’ll go, ‘Hmmm, I want a little bit of that,’” she said.

Kim said she likes having her store in Lemont but wants to see more businesses in the downtown.

“There’s lots of ideas that we have, but we have to have enough business to make it worthwhile,” she said.

16 ARCHITECTURAL STYLES

Lemont tours architecture through the past 150 years SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LEMONT – With all the different architectural styles in Lemont, someone could easily make their own tour of the last century-and-a-half of American architecture.

Steve Reardon, a member of the Historic Resources Committee with the American Institute of Architects Eastern Illinois chapter, basically did that himself and compiled a list of styles that can be found in Lemont.

Reardon presented his findings during a slideshow Feb. 6 at the Lemont Public Library.

Not all of the buildings he mentioned are considered historic landmarks, but he said he wanted to document the styles for historical records.

1. Gothic revival Features: Steeply pitched roofs; pointed arch windows Example: Church of St. James at Sag Bridge, 10600 S. Archer Ave.

The Old Stone Church is one of the oldest buildings in Lemont and an example of the Romanesque Revival style of architecture.

2. Romanesque revival Features: Thick, stone walls; rounded arches over windows; towers with conical roofs Example: Lemont United Methodist Church, 306 Lemont St.

3. Richardson romanesque Features: Similar to Romanesque Revival but with rougher stone walls Example: Lemont Village Hall, 418 Main St.

4. Italianate Features: Low-pitched roofs with widely overhanging eaves; tall, narrow windows

ROMEOVILLE – U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs, renewed his call for more commuter trains on the Heritage Corridor line with Metra’s new executive director.

The Heritage Corridor Metra service has three round-trip trains that make stops in Joliet, Lockport, Lemont, Willow Springs, Summit and Union Station in Chicago. That number is small compared to other Metra lines, and Lipinski in the past has called for more routes for commuters.

On Monday, the congressman sent the message again along with a letter of congratulations to Don Orseno, who became Metra’s executive director Jan. 31. Lipinski asked Orseno to address the issue, also asking him to address Heritage Corridor services with Canadian National Railway Co., the owner of the railway.

Canadian National said the railroad needs infrastructure improvements before more trains can be added.

“Metra is going to have to push and put pressure on [Canadian National],” Lipinski said. “Metra has been unable to move on this in the past. I’m hopeful with more stability at the head, we can move forward and try to encourage CN to add more service.”

Orseno issued a statement saying he shared the congressman’s goals for increasing performance on all railway lines.

“I look forward to working with him on these very important Heritage Corridor issues,” Orseno said.

Lipinski said ridership on the line has increased 25 percent in the past 10 years. But service has not changed enough to accommodate the higher traffic, and Canadian National has been unwilling to cooperate to provide more train service.

Canadian National spokesman Patrick Waldron said senior officials have regularly talked with Lipinski and Metra officials regarding the Heritage Corridor line. But infrastruc-

ture upgrades must be made before the line – also used by Amtrak and for freight – can accommodate more Metra trains, he said.

“The issue is in order to add more commuter service, capacity studies show infrastructure upgrades are needed,” Waldron said, adding Canadian National is more than willing to work with Metra to obtain grants to improve the infrastructure of the railway.

Lipinski said he understood the concerns with railway infrastructure but thinks Canadian National can make room for another train without significant upgrades.

Romeoville station Lipinski said he has been having discussions with local officials for the past three years about how service can be improved along the line.

One of those discussions involved adding a new Romeoville station at 135th Street and New Avenue. The station is in the planning phase but could be done within the next 18 to 24 months.

Romeoville Mayor John Noak said residents in his town are travelling long distances to other Heritage Corridor stations or to other Metra lines.

The new Romeoville station, Noak said, “would reduce traffic and give more parking to residents, one of the major issues.”

Recognizing service academy nominees from local schools Each year, one of the highest honors I have as your congressman is nominating young men and women for our nation’s prestigious service academies: the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.; the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y.; the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.; and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Great COMMUNITY Neck, N.Y. VOICE Applications come from Dan the best and brightest students in the district, competLipinski ing against their peers from across the country for a few select spots. Just to be nominated is a major accomplishment and a tremendous honor.

A nomination from your congressman is just the first step in a rigorous process. Ultimately, the final decision rests with the admissions departments at the service academies.

Last month, I announced 14 nominees from the Third Congressional District for the classes entering this fall.

They include Peter Strawbridge of Western Springs and Lyons Township High School, for the Air Force Academy. Daniel Calero of Lemont and Marist High School and Andrew Jacobs of LaGrange and Mount Carmel High School were nominated for West Point. Michael Kelly of Western Springs and Fenwick High School and Elaine Smith of Western Springs and Lyons Township High School were nominated for the Naval Academy.

The selection process culminated with a ceremony at a local VFW post attended by family, friends, teachers and coaches of the nominees. They all know how they have each contributed to the success of the nominee. To see the proud looks on the faces of everyone there is something I’ll never forget.

Every year, I am inspired by these students who have a desire to serve their country, along with the discipline that produces academic success and a demonstrated commitment to their community. I am excited to see what the future holds for this latest group of nominees. I am sure each of them will make an impact no matter what path they take in life.

If you wish to find out more about how you can be nominated to a U.S. service academy, please contact any of my offices or visit www.lipinski.house.gov for assistance.

U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs, is a congressman for the Third District of Illinois.

Happy with Public Works [I] would like to commend the Western Springs Public Works Department for keeping our streets snowplowed ... Without their hard work and long hours, we would all be snowbound.

Again, thanks to all who participated.

Appreciating snowplows I’d like to commend the Lemont Public Works Department for doing such a good job keeping our streets clear of snow. Whenever we get heavy snow, Lemont seems to have the streets cleared faster and better than most of the other suburbs. I’d also like to say how much I appreciate the fact that Lemont is using less salt on the residential streets. Although salting main streets and hills are necessary, there is no real need to waste salt on low speed roads, and it sure is nice to not

President setting bad precedent?

How many more times does King Barack [Obama] have to single handedly re-write the 2010 health care law, or any other law for that matter, before some other congress persons dare to read the U. S. Constitution [and] risk of being charged with racism and, in hushed voices, suggest that maybe, just maybe, the king might read the Article 2, Section 3 [of the Constitution] and enforce the law? Or is the precedent now set for our presidents to change laws as they desire?

Dangerous Lemont intersection I am a Lemont resident and I’m calling about a serious accident that might be developing at Walker and McCarthy roads. If you’re southbound on Walker …

McCarthy Road curves and you cannot see the oncoming traffic.

There is a serious accident waiting to happen and I am suggesting stop signs or stoplights at that corner.

LEM • Friday, February 21, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • LMR Suburban Life

Right now, the six-member Lemont Village Board and the mayor, Mr. Brian Reaves, are deciding on whether they (and only they) should obligate the Lemont taxpayers to be responsible for a sports complex that is estimated to cost $21 million, with finance costs of up to $18 million. They are doing so after they found a private source of funding, which allowed them to legally deny any binding input from the residents and voters of Lemont. This means that out of the more than 16,000 residents of Lemont, only seven people have a voice in approving a high-risk project. ... Many of us in Lemont have complained about this maneuver and have been repeatedly told by the Lemont board and mayor, “You elected us, and that means that we can do what we want,” and, “If you don’t like what we’re doing, then vote us out [at the] next election.” This is not how a representative democracy is supposed to work and, besides, they can do a lot of damage in the next three years. Please help us get our right to vote on this project by publicizing our plight.

Restaurant reviews

Berwyn’s Wishbone spreads Southern charm BERWYN – Several months before visiting Wishbone last week, I went to a market and bought everything I needed to make shrimp and grits.

Unfortunately, after that grocery stop and each subsequent trip, I’ve managed to eat all the bacon before I actually get around to making the dish, and the shrimp are still waiting in the freezer.

So when I saw the Southern favorite on the menu at Wishbone, I ordered it as an appetizer without hesitation.

I’m happy I did; my craving now can rest easy.

The creamy, cheesy grits supporting plump shrimp, bacon, mushrooms, white wine and scallions was a personal favorite when my companion and I ate at Wishbone’s pop-up location, connected to Olive or Twist Martini Bar in Berwyn.

The shrimp was cooked perfectly, retaining some snap, and the bites of bacon stayed crispy – never an easy trick.

The popular Chicago barbecue joint returned to Berwyn this winter on a trial run through March. If it catches on, people will have a new home base for fried chicken, pulled pork, beef brisket, crab cakes, catfish, rainbow trout and other downhome belly-pleasers.

The new spot sits in Berwyn’s charming Depot District, along with neighboring bars, restaurants, gift shops and a comedy club.

During our visit, my companion and I sat at a table with a nice view through the large picture window.

Out front, trains rolled by to create a fun atmosphere – they could be seen but not heard. And with exposed brick walls and ductwork, along with other trendy but warm interior design elements, the restaurant manages to conjure both a Southern and urban feel.

Fitting the theme, blues and jazz soundtracked the friendly and attentive service.

Lemont loses game to TF North as Mike Wisz leaves with injury

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Lemont’s boys basketball team might have lost more than a game Tuesday night.

In addition to seeing their three-game winning streak brought to an end in a 53-40 loss to T.F. North, the Indians might be without leading scorer Mike Wisz for a period of time after the senior left with an ankle injury in the second quarter.

Wisz scored 10 points before departing with 3:41 to go before halftime. The severity of his injury was not immediately known. Lemont trailed 21-19 at the time, but the visitors subsequently went on a 16-2 run that carried into the third quarter.

“Obviously, that affected us a lot,” Lemont coach Rick Runaas said. “Mike has been playing so well and he was making shots and playing like he normally does. So that’s disappointing.

“We have to have other players step up. Our guys were like a deer in headlights a little bit. Nobody really stepped up for us.”

Seeing the deficit swell to as many as 16 points, the Indians did pick up their defense and closed out the third on a 7-0 spurt. Lemont forced six turnovers in the period and 18 for the game.

“Our defensive intensity picked up,” Runaas said.

The Indians got to within seven points in the fourth quarter but could get no closer.

In addition to Wisz, nine other Lemont players entered into the scoring column. Aus-

Next game Who: Lemont vs. T.F. South When: 7 p.m. today Where: 18500 Burnham Ave., Lansing

“We have to have other players step up. Our guys were like a deer in headlights a little bit.”

tin Tittle, Jack Valone and Austen Gumber each added five points, and Ryan Shereck and David Czupta both had four.

Next up for the Indians is a road matchup tonight against T.F. South, which is in the hunt for the South Suburban Blue conference title.

Lemont has a chance to make an impact on the conference race while trying to get playing time for more players.

“We have to get acclimated to guys stepping up and taking more responsibility on offense,” the coach said. “Obviously, we look to Mike, and when he is out of the game, it makes it tough.”

Lemont was coming off a 69-64 win against Tinley Park last Friday as Wisz tallied 31 points, seven assists, six steals and four reBill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com bounds. Luis Marquez added 13 points, seven rebounds and Lemont’s Ryan Shereck drives to the hoop during Tuesday’s home game against Thornton Fractional North.

Lemont trio heading to wrestling state finals

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – John St. Clair has seen a lot of his wrestlers advance to the IHSA state tournament since he took over the Lemont program in 2003.

But he doesn’t remember any freshmen accomplish- Egan Berta ing that feat, that is until this past Saturday.

In his first high school campaign, Egan Berta punched his ticket to Jimmy Champaign by Brennan winning the 126-pound title at the Class 2A De La Salle sectional.

Classmate Jake Kirkman also qualified after Jake Kirkman placing fourth at 138.

That duo is joined at state by junior Jimmy Brennan, who won the title at 145.

State tournament What: Class 1A, 2A, 3A wrestling When: 8:30 a.m. Friday, 9 a.m. and Saturday Where: State Farm Center, in Champaign Ryan Glynn fell one win short of qualifying at 120, as did Adam Strube at 132.

“I’m happy we got kids downstate,” St. Clair said. “But as a coach, I’m greedy, I’m never satisfied. That’s what we tell our kids, never be satisfied.”

Berta knocked off Mousa Jodeh of Oak Forest 14-2 in the final. The two had met four times previously this season with the freshman losing the last three matches coming in.

“Egan wrestled great all weekend long,” St. Clair said, “and in the final, he wrestled like he is capable of and took it to [Jodeh].”

Kirkman worked his way back through the wrestlebacks after falling 3-1 to eventual second-place finisher Jake Domke of Marian in the second round.

He notched a 7-0 decision to

qualify for state before losing 6-3 in the third-place match.

As for Brennan, who also went downstate as a freshman, the junior registered a pair of pins before defeating Michael Shanahan of St. Ignatius 7-6 in the final.

“He is on a hot streak,” the coach said. “He’s peaking at the right time. He beat a pretty good kid from Morgan Park in the semis, and that St. Ignatius kid has been ranked above Jimmy all year long.”

Now, the trio face the best of the best in the three-day state tourney, which began yesterday. And no matter what happens, the experience will be extremely valuable for the freshmen.

“Obviously it’s the best competition we are going to see,” St. Clair said, “besides maybe the Hinsdale Central tournament, which had Class 3A powerhouses.

“It’s going to be awesome for [Berta and Kirkland] to get that experience. Having to gut out some matches at the sectional, they will be able to feed off that for the next three years. And the experience of getting to wrestle at [state] is priceless.”

Anthony Marlowe stands next to a stock racing car his company, TMone, sponsored at the 12th annual Geico 400 at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet in 2012. Before becoming a part owner with Swan Racing, the La Grange native Anthony Marlowe got his start in racing by sponsoring cars.

team],” Marlowe said. “What guy doesn’t dream of owning a sports team?”

With more than 30 races left after the Daytona 500, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Season extends into November, though Marlowe said he will attend about one-third of the races this season.

Some sports owners interject themselves into every minute detail of the day-today operations of the team, but Marlowe didn’t get to be a successful businessman by

La Grange native Anthony Marlowe recently became a minority owner in Swan Racing, which will have Parker Kligerman’s No. 30 car and Cole Whitt’s No. 26 cars racing Sunday in the Daytona 500.

not knowing his own strengths and weaknesses. He knows enough to stand back and let each person involved in Swan Racing do their job.

“This is my first foray into pro sports, aside from being a

sponsor. All my experience is as a CEO and entrepreneur in the business world,” Marlow said. “I don’t envision myself getting involved much in the competitive side of things right now. I’ll leave those deci-

sions to others.

“Bray Pemberton [general manager] is a talented young leader. He has the keys and we rely on him. [Primary Owner and CEO] Brandon Davis has already got us in a good spot.”

LEM • Friday, February 21, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • LMR Suburban Life

Anthony Marlowe’s love of cars and racing was born on Archer Avenue, the famous street that cuts a swath through Chicago’s southside and the city’s southwest suburbs.

“I’ve been a lifelong racing fan since back in the day running cars up and down Archer Avenue,” Marlowe said. “I’ve always had an affinity for it.”

Now a successful businessman, Marlowe was able to turn his love into a reality as he became a minority owner with Swan Racing in January.

Swan Racing, which is based in Statesville, N.C., has two cars that compete in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, No. 26 Cole Whitt and No. 30 Parker Kligerman.

As the NASCAR season starts Sunday with the Daytona 500, Marlowe will be one of hundreds of thousands of people in attendance as he watches Whitt and Kligerman compete in the race, but for him, it will be all business, which coincidentally is how he became a NASCAR owner.

After graduating from Lyons Township High School, Marlowe moved to Iowa City, Iowa, to go to college before he quickly realized it wasn’t for him.

“I didn’t last very long,” he said. “I started working for a company called MCI, and they asked me to run their sales team in Arlington, Va. so I did that for a few years. How many 19-year olds get to be a manager and get that kind of experience.”

MCI brought Marlowe back to Iowa City in 2001. Two years later, he co-founded TMone, a domestic business process outsourcing firm that has since spread to four locations, employs more than 1,000 people and has been named one of Inc. Magazine’s fastest growing private companies seven years in a row.

He became a NASCAR team sponsor in 2011 before selling TMone last year. He is still president of the company.

His business success has allowed him to achieve the dream many sports fans harbor.
