About the classes

Simply Yoga is open daily and offers vinyasa yoga classes for all levels.

Owners Susan Cressman teaches most of the classes, with five other instructors also involved. To sign up for a class, visit www.simplyyogalemont. com.

many people have come to her by word-of-mouth.

“During construction, people would stop in every day, waiting to see when we would open,” she said.

Cressman said she had a marketing plan, but a lot of business has just fallen into her lap.

For instance, before she could contact the Lemont High School Athletic Department, Lemont Varsity Baseball coach Brian Storako reached out to her about bringing his team in for yoga classes starting in March.

Lemont residents Carolyn Turner and Pat Gintilas challenged themselves to take 21 days of classes without knowing much about studio.

Turner said she plans on continuing classes after the challenge is over.

LEM • Friday, February 28, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • LMR Suburban Life

LEMONT – Susan Cressman said she was cautiously optimistic when she opened her yoga studio, Simply Yoga, in Lemont.

But the response from the community has exceeded her expectations.

“Every class, someone has been here,” she said. “I have yet to have a class that at least one person doesn’t show.”

She opened the studio Feb. 1 at 1243 S. State St. Cressman said the name Simply Yoga came from a saying her late father would tell, “Keep it simple.”

She said the name also fits her philosophy on yoga.

“I didn’t name it that because yoga’s easy,” she said. “While you’re here, just simply think about yoga. That’s the whole point of yoga – just being in the moment.”

Cressman worked in marketing at an insurance company and as an IT consultant, but she said she felt the time was right to change careers.

“I really wanted to just focus on doing something 100 percent,” she said. “And if there was one thing, it was going to be yoga.”

She said she has been doing yoga as part of her fitness routine for years but did not start taking studio yoga classes until the studio Breathe opened in Bolingbrook three years ago.

She took her instructor training classes through Breathe and became a certified vinyasa yoga instructor six months ago.

Wanting to use her business experience to start her own studio, Cressman leased the Lemont space in December.

Library asks for public input on long-term space plans

By DAN FARNHAM

Not able to make the meeting?

dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – As part of its facility updates, the Lemont Public Library is looking at ways to add seating and meeting rooms.

The public can give their input on how the library can maximize its current space during a community planning meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday at the library, 50 E. Wend St. A facility assessment completed in 2013 determined the library will need to replace its roof in the next five years.

Library Board President Vytenis Kirvelaitis said it makes sense to discuss the layout of the library while facility updates are being planned.

“We figure we might as well take a look and see how we can prepare the library for the future,” he said.

Library Director Sandra Pointon said that additional seating is a common patron request, but the trick is fig-

Patrons who want to know more about potential changes to the library or give their input can email Library Director Sandra Pointon at spointon@lemontlibrary.org.

Maura Tkach reads a story her daughter Emma, 5, in the children’s section at the Lemont Public Library. uring out how to add patron space within the confines of the building.

“There are a lot of things that we haven’t been able to add with the existing configu-

ration,” she said.

She said the library has a large meeting room and two study rooms but would like to add more rooms and maybe a quiet reading room.

“I definitely know there is more demand than availability,” she said.

The library hired Engberg Anderson Architects to do a space study and come up with a conceptual design.

Some design concepts will be presented during a meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 1.

Kirvelaitis said there is no timeline on when the changes would be made.

He said the board hopes to have the plans by this summer, after which they would determine which changes would be made.

Pointon said she would like to get a public consensus on

how the library’s space should be used.

“Protecting the investment of the building and making it a good usuable space for the next 20 years, that’s where we need the input in what the public’s priorities are,” she said.

Pointon said she could see the library consolidating its front desk area to make room.

She said large front desks were popular when the library was built in the mid 90s, but the staff does not need that much space.

They also looked at making the basement a public space, she said, but multiple studies determined potential safety issues made it impractical.

Pointon did not rule out adding onto the building but said it would have to fit within the budget.

Kirvelaitis said he wants to be open to all options for expanding library space.

“We don’t want to just limit the discussion to the space we do have,” he said.

LEMONT – With two businesses closing at the location since 2012, 206 Main St. in Lemont will soon be home to Gelsosomo’s Pizza.

During the Lemont Village Board meeting Monday night, Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves announced that the pizza franchise with locations in Indiana and Michigan will open in June.

The building was previously home to the restaurant This Must Be the Place, which closed in February 2012, followed by the Mindflow Cafe, which closed in February 2013.

Reaves said the Gelsosomo’s franchise has opened nine locations since 1979, with none of them closing.

Owner and Lemont resident Ed Gricus said he thinks the new pizzeria will fill a need in Lemont.

“There’s not a sit-down pizzeria in downtown,” he said.

“There’s some good pies in Lemont, but not a place you could seat a party of eight.”

Gricus said he has more than 40 years of experience in the food service distribution industry.

He said he currently works as vice president of operations and sales at iit/SourceTech in Lisle and owned a restaurant in Vernon Hills several years ago.

Gricus said he went to high school with Tom Gelsosomo, the franchise’s founder, and was contemplating with his

He said the restaurant will look like a 1950s style sit-down pizza parlor.

He described the pizza as Chicago-style thin crust with a sweeter sauce. He said the pizzas will be cooked in a bricklined oven.

According to the franchise website, other menu options include pasta, sandwiches, salads and appetizers.

Gricus said he likes the location of the restaurant and is not sure why the previous tenants did not last. He said he is confident that his business experience and the management team he has put together will make his business successful.

Reaves said BP asked for the liquor license after the Shell station across the street had been issued one.

He said he had discussed the issue of giving a liquor license to a gas station with Lemont Police Chief Kevin Shaughnessy when Shell was issued the license.

Village appoints village treasurer

In what is called a housekeeping item, Village of Lemont Finance Director Christine Smith was named the village treasurer during the meeting.

Village Administrator George Schafer said the village is required by its municipal code to have someone named as the village treasurer.

More liquor licenses in Smith’s official title and duLemont ties will not change, and the apThe Lemont Village Board pointment does not come with issued liquor licenses to Gelso- any pay increase, Schafer said.

Hispanic students share bond at conference According to the 2013 Illinois Report Card, 9 percent of the students at Lemont High School were identified as Hispanic. By comparison, 24 percent of the students in the state were Hispanic. tended had not known that they could identify themselves as Hispanic because it only came from one side of their family.

“When I was talking about [attending the conference], I had a lot of students coming out of the woodwork,” she said.

Sophomore Julissa Nuñez said she was surprised by some of the students who went on the trip because she did not know they were Hispanic.

“I found it eye-opening,” she said.

Junior Gaby Laurel said she enjoys discovering other students are Hispanic because it is a common bond they can share.

“It’s nice to see that the kids who do find out they are a little bit Hispanic want to be a part of this,” she said.

At the conference, the students attended a rally and got to meet people such as actress April L. Hernandez, who talked about her experience growing up in the Bronx.

State Sen. Radogno collects constituent opinions on taxes SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LEMONT – State Sen. Christine Radogno (R-Lemont) has released the results of a survey sent out to residents of her district asking questions about issues such as taxes and schools.

According to a news release from her office, the responses included: • When asked how Illinois should tackle its ongoing fiscal problems, 73 percent said they believe the state still spends too much money. Twenty percent of the respondents said they believe the state has made cuts so severe that a tax increase should be put on the table. Six percent were unsure.

• A slight majority preferred

the state’s current flat rate tax to a graduated tax, in which people pay a higher percentage as their income increases. Eighty-three percent were against the imposition of a graduated income tax without the rates explicitly stated in the legislation.

• Fifty-three percent supported a school voucher program, while 35 percent expressed opposition and 11 percent were uncertain.

• When asked how they prefer to receive their state and local news, 36 percent said they primarily get their news from the newspaper, with television news at 24 percent, radio at 23.5 percent and websites and social media at almost 15 percent.

they could achieve despite their rough background,” Laurel said.

Laurel said it was also interesting to see how students from larger Hispanic communities maintained their culture, such as a mariachi band made of elementary students.

For Nuñez, who moved to Lemont in fourth grade from a largely Hispanic community in Chicago, being able to connect with other Hispanic students was enjoyable.

“Honestly, I really like the fact that they did that for us – just so we can come together,” she said.

LEMONT – A contingent of 26 Lemont High School students joined 3,000 other Hispanic students from Illinois at the United States Hispanic Leadership Institute National Conference on Feb. 13 at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers.

Lemont High School Spanish teacher Ann Rodriguez-Baltrum, who organized the trip, said a majority of the conference was a college fair, giving information on financial aid and opportunities available for Hispanic students at the schools.

Lemont High School’s English Language Learners focuses on Polish and Lithuanian, but Rodriguez-Baltrum said the Hispanic student population at the school is rising.

“When I started here in 2002, I think there were 20 Hispanics and myself,” she said.

She said going to this conference and the Sí Say Puede conference at Lewis University is an opportunity to meet with other Hispanic students that Lemont High School students do not often have.

“We currently do not have a Latin American student association,” she said. “That is something I’m looking into.”

Cook County Commissioner Jeff Tobolski, D-McCook, said he was proud of a vote Feb. 19 that unanimously passed an ordinance amendment that prohibits the sale of electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, from being sold to minors in suburban Cook County.

“These e-cigarettes come in all sorts of flavors – bubblegum, cherry ... and they’re being placed near the candy,” Tobolski said after the vote.

E-cigarettes are battery-operated devices that heat nicotine, additives and water into vapor, which are then inhaled by the user, similar to cigarettes. The smokeless devices are marketed as smoking secession products for the user’s ability to smoke indoors and as a healthier alternative to tobacco cigarettes. Users can be seen puffing on e-cigarettes that produce vapor when ex-

e-cigarettes largely found the products were still too new to the market to reveal definitive results. However, most studies have found that impact of e-cigarette vapor on a person’s health is minimal, especially when compared to cigarettes.

Tobolski said he still doesn’t see much of a difference and said the amendment could be used as a starting place for further regulation of e-cigarettes, such as a ban on using them indoors, as the Chicago City Council recently passed.

“It’s all a low-level nicotine delivery system,” Tobolski said. “[The amendment] let’s us establish this as a place we can work from.”

Tobolski added that, regardless of the health effects and marketing, his main concern was that use of the products could lead kids to smoking regular cigarettes.

“Regardless of their marketing, this is a way to continue the addiction,” Tobolski said.

haled and often include glowing blue or orange ends to mimic cigarettes.

Tobolski said he became aware of a “loophole” that allowed the products to be sold to customers younger than age 18 by a friend in the Cook County Department of Public Health.

The amendment will pull e-cigarettes behind the counter with tobacco products and will require retailers to verify the age of a customer before allowing them to purchase the product.

The amendment will not change rules in unincorporated Cook County, according to Kevin Fanning, a spokesman for Tobolski.

Tobolski, who has a middle school-age daughter, said he proposed the amendment out of concern that kids would begin smoking earlier, because of perceptions that e-cigarettes are safer than cigarettes. A Los Angeles Times article published in January that examined the health effects of

Bipartisan support critical to end tax hike Each year, the governor is required to present an annual budget address by an established date. But this year, political posturing has taken precedence over statutory law—allowing the governor to push his budget blueprint back five weeks until after the March primary.

Gov. Quinn was expected to present his budget Feb. 19, but with help from Senate and House Democratic majorities he is now able to keep his budget plan out of the public eye until after the election. My concern is that this is a purely political move by Democrats and the governor to sidestep their COMMUNITY responsibilities, raise taxes VOICE and increase spending.

Christine Republicans have offered Radogno a number of comprehensive budget suggestions over the last 11 years that Democratic lawmakers and governors have controlled state finances. Our efforts have been ignored and even mocked. As a result, instead of embracing bipartisanship and adopting true fiscal reforms, over the past decade Illinois has dug a fiscal hole that has progressively become more difficult to climb out of.

At this time Illinois has the 3rd highest unemployment rate in the nation, the worst credit rating in the United States, record high taxes, and a growing number of backlogged bills.

Instead of fulfilling their promises to use the “temporary” tax hike to pay down old bills, Democrats have increased spending, expanded government programs and are now trying to reconcile their projected $3 billion budget hole by making the tax increase permanent or implementing a progressive tax – creating more uncertainty for Illinois’ fragile business climate.

Permanently fixing the state’s budget hinges largely on successfully rebuilding the state’s economy. We must improve our jobs climate by rolling back the 2011 income tax increase as promised and required by law, and derailing the progressive income tax debate. Enacting “primary causation” standards in workers’ compensation and developing long-lasting and sustainable economic development programs must also become top priorities.

We must restore fiscal discipline and seize every opportunity to achieve additional savings by targeting waste, fraud and excessive government spending. By establishing a common ground with our Democratic colleagues on these issues, and moving forward with efforts to seek bipartisan cost-saving solutions for issues such as education funding, pension reform, and Medicaid spending, I am confident we can turn things around in Illinois.

State Sen. Christine Radogno, R-Lemont, represents Illinois’ 41st Senate District and the Illinois Senate Republican Leader.

Mazi, a chihuahua-dachshund mix, was the smallest sled dog with the Green Valley Dog Drivers at Brookfield Zoo on Feb. 9. According to her owner, Annette McNeely, “she keeps with the (Siberian) huskies.”

Sometimes a good idea takes on a life of its own. The Lemont-based Green Valley Dog Drivers, a club founded in 2005 to promote dog sports, has grown to the point where it’s becoming a full-fledged business. Congrats to owner Annette McNeely on her success.

Lemont is more than just another suburb, and you can see that especially through all the different architectural styles found in town. Steve Reardon of the American Institute of Architects Eastern Illinois chapter recently showed off that variety in a slideshow at the Lemont Public Library, showing off 16 distinct styles.

It’s another example of this town’s rich history.

How about issuing parking tickets in winter?

La Grange has a no overnight street parking regulation. [I] sure wish the police department would issue tickets to those leaving a car on the street overnight.

It would certainly aid the plows in snow removal. Tickets are issued in the summer, why not now?

Gold medals to all For the past 10 days, we have all witnessed world athletes being recognized for their outstanding performances on the Olympic stage. This brings to mind that it is time to recognize our own “Wheaton Road Warriors” for the outstanding jobs they have done removing the countless miles of snow from our streets. Gold medals with standing ovations to you all! We so appreciate all your hard work and long hours during this “Endless Winter of 2014.”

Why sound off on McCarthy, Walker roads?

In response to [the] “Against sports complex” letter appearing in the Feb. 21 newspaper, I hadn’t made my mind up yet either way, “yes” or “no,” regarding the proposed Lemont Sports Complex.

But, if such statements are made

by Lemont’s mayor and Board of Trustees, my fellow citizens, we do need people to run against them in the next election. Remember, even if they’re running unopposed, you don’t have to vote for them. They know how many votes are cast in Lemont and they certainly know how many votes they got. Those numbers tell them plenty. And I’ve now made up my mind about the sports complex. I say “no.”

Traffic is harzardous near Lincoln School in Berwyn Just wondering when the Berwyn Police Department is going to eliminate the traffic and safety hazards in front of our schools.

This morning, traffic was tied up northbound from past 16th Street to 14th Street, and 16th Street eastbound from Lincoln School, all the way west past East Avenue. This is ridiculous. Cars are just jammed and double parked and nobody’s doing anything about it. I think it’s about time the police enforced the laws and eliminated this safety hazard.

that her daughter “doesn’t want to hear from him anymore” and that she feels “afraid of him and what he might do to us.”

“I fear for our safety,” the mother stated.

Maya is accused of opening fire on Valle and her mother as they were in their car at about 7 a.m. outside their home in the 300 block of Emery Avenue. Will County prosecutors had previously charged Maya with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of aggravated battery with a firearm and one count of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.

One attempted murder charge was dropped as prosecutors charged Maya with the murder of Valle.

His bond was set at $5 million. A preliminary hearing was set for 9 a.m. March 11 at the Will County Courthouse.

A release from Valley View School District said students and staff planned last week to wear blue and orange as a sign of unity and support for the Valle family. The school will also put counseling support in place for any students who need assistance dealing with the loss.

Doctor allegedly prescribed drugs illegally SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BOLINGBROOK – A Bolingbrook physician faces charges after he allegedly prescribed OxyContin illegally to an undercover agent and submitted false claims to Medicare, according to a news release from the United State’s Attorney’s Office Northern District of Illinois.

Sathish Narayanappa Babu, 47, is charged with one count of conspiracy to illegally dispense a controlled substance and one count of health care fraud, the release stated. Federal agents executed search and seizure warrants at his home and office Feb. 19, taking more than $100,000

from the bank accounts of his Darien-based business, Anik Life Sciences Medical Corp.

Between November 2012 and December 2013, Babu issued five prescriptions for 60 doses of 80 milligram strength OxyContin to an agent posing as a patient, despite having never seen or examined the person, according to the release, which cited a criminal complaint.

The agent told Babu they were healthy and were covered by Medicare, but were seeking to obtain Oxycodone because of shoulder pain from a previous injury that put them on disability, the release stated.

Babu allowed unlicensed

personnel associated with his business to issue prescriptions and provide other purported medical care to the patient, according to the release.

He also submitted claims to Medicare for services he said had been provided to the patient that had not. The nearly 300 pills prescribed were paid for primarily by Medicare.

Babu was released on a $100,000 bond and prohibited from writing prescriptions or submitting claims to Medicare, the release stated.

He was scheduled for a court hearing Tuesday. The charges against him carry a maximum combined penalty of 30 years in prison and $1.25 million in fines, according to the release.

ROMEOVILLE – Court documents show the 23-yearold Cicero man charged with fatally shooting his 15-yearold ex-girlfriend last week in Romeoville had previously threatened to rape and kill her.

Erick M. Maya, 23, of the 5600 block of Central Park Avenue in Cicero, was charged with murder Feb. 18. He pleaded not guilty. He previously had been charged with two counts of attempted murder.

The charge was upgraded after Briana Valle, 15, died Feb. 17. She was shot in the head while with her mother, Alicia Guerrero, 33, in the driveway outside their Romeoville home Feb. 13.

Her mother was shot in the neck but is recovering from her wound.

Guerrero took out an emergency order of protection last year against Maya, and said she and her daughter feared for their safety. Maya threatened to rape and kill Valle last year, according to court documents, and the order of protection was extended last month.

Maya and Valle, a Romeoville High School student, had

been in a previous dating relationship, police said.

Court documents show Maya had been harassing the Erick M. mother via text Maya messages be ginning in January 2013. In March, the mother filed an order of protection in Cook County, where the family lived before moving to Romeoville in October.

In December, Maya allegedly texted one of Valle’s friends, saying he planned to rape the mother and daughter and kidnap Valle.

Valle met Maya on Facebook in June 2012, and they ran away together in August of that year, according to court documents. The mother found her daughter at Maya’s Cicero home, but, according to court documents, chose not to press charges because “at this time my daughter was obsessed with Erick.”

Valle’s obsession with Maya apparently turned to fear by December, according to court documents filed by her mother. Guerrero stated

By RYAN TERRELL rterrell@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Lauren Weber, a 29-year-old Bolingbrook resident, didn’t think twice when she ventured alone into the notorious Englewood neighborhood of Chicago on Feb. 11 to pluck a dozen pit bull puppies that otherwise would have been cast out into the streets, likely to their death.

“My husband is definitely mad at me,” Weber said Wednesday. “But for me, I really love animals. ... I know Englewood is dangerous, but I had the opportunity to save those puppies.”

Weber, a volunteer with several area pet rescues, got word about a week ago through fellow animal lovers that a Chicago man had 12 puppy pit bulls he was “looking to get rid of.”

She was told the man tried selling them on Craigslist to no avail and was threatening to throw the dogs outside or use them as bait dogs in a dog fighting ring.

Soon after, she made a quick decision to jump in her car, drive to the home and get the dogs out herself in what she said was her first true dog rescue.

“I got there and the puppies were completely covered in feces,” she said, adding that they were all roughly 10 weeks old. “I mean, it was caked on.”

One, later named Coco, had a serious open wound. Another, Tucker, had a large lump on his jaw. The rest were a bit malnourished but outside of being in need of a good wash and some TLC were in decent shape, she said.

Weber took the adorable dozen to her house in Bolingbrook, where she and her mother bathed them.

She then reached out to Stephanie Paluch, founder of Players for Pits, a Carol Stream-based pit bull rescue, whom Weber met through Facebook via their common interest in animals.

Coco, a puppy pit bull, takes a nap on another pup. The dog was one of 12 rescued by Bolingbrook resident Lauren Weber.

Interested in adopting?

The pitbull puppies were taken in by four area dog rescue groups.

For adoption information, visit their websites listed below.

Players for Pits: www.playersforpits.com Pit Crew Illinois: www.pitcrewil. org It’s a Pittie Rescue: www.rescueapittie.org Rescue Warriors Corps: www. rescuewarriorscorp.com

one of four area dog rescue groups to take in the pooches.

Two of the dogs already have been adopted, eight are being prepared for adoption and the other two – Coco and Tucker – need extended medical attention for their injuries.

Players for Pits took in three of the dogs.

“They’re doing good,” said Paluch, of Lombard. “Coco still has a few more [veterinarian] visits to go. And all of them need vaccinations.

“At first they were very shy, which says something because it’s rare to see 10-weekold puppies who do no want to be around people. But they’ve already started to open up and I know they will make good pets.”

Weber echoed that last statement. She said the dogs are very much salvageable

despite the rough and violent starts to their lives.

“They’re still impressionable,” Weber said. “They can be trained and I can’t tell you how many dogs pulled from fighting rings have made good family pets.

“You have to judge it on a dog by dog basis.”

Weber said she’s been volunteering with animal welfare groups since 2004, including Humane Haven Animal Shelter in Bolingbrook.

She is confident what the outcome would have been had she not suddenly driven out to Englewood.

“I don’t think any of them would have made it,” Weber said. “They would have been tossed out. Tucker and Coco definitely wouldn’t have made it.”

Paluch admitted she advised Weber not to drive out to Englewood by herself, but was nonetheless proud of her.

“When she decided to do that I was shocked. I told her to be careful and just be aware of her surroundings. It definitely took courage from her,” she said.

For her, though, it was an easy decision.

“I couldn’t let them stay in that condition,” Weber said.

“I just really love animals. I can’t watch those commercials with the malnourished dogs on TV. If I see a dog or cat running around stray, I pull the car over.”

Adult models take worry out of college experience

By Stephanie Kohl

B

usy adults need to make the most of their time. Work and family commitments keep down time to a minimum, so taking on the additional load of a college student is a big decision. They need a program that makes the most of their time. Courses that are directly applicable to the career, and partnerships with students who take their college experience seriously, and have similar goals.

With that in mind, Northwood University’s DuPage campus in Glen Ellyn location offers an Adult Degree Program, which gives students the opportunity to pursue their education while maintaining the flexibility they need to balance family, work and school.

“Northwood offers evening, weekend or online formats, as well as innovative options like our ‘3+1’ degree program, which allows students the opportunity to complete three years of coursework at partnership institutions

like College of DuPage and Harper College, before completing their final year at Northwood University,” said Ann Marie Rosen, regional development manager.

The Northwood University student generally arrives with prior college credits from another university or community college. Many have been out of college for a while or took a break to focus on their career and family. They also have some students who are just beginning their university education.

The Glen Ellyn Adult Degree Program Center offers a variety of degrees in both hybrid (a blend of face-to-face and online) and completely online formats. Classes are designed in partnership with industry specialists and advisory boards and are taught by experts who are active in the business world.

Along with its Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Management and Marketing, the Glen Ellyn campus also offers

seven fully online degree programs including aftermarket management, automotive marketing management, health care management, marketing, entrepreneurship, management and finance as well as an online Masters of Science in Organizational Leadership. Northwood students work with one advisor from application all the way to graduation, assisting them with registration, academic advising, financial aid and ordering books.

“With classes in eight-week and weekend formats, students can complete two or more courses in the same 16-weeks it takes traditional students to complete one class,” she says. Students also have the opportunity to earn credit for work and military experience.

One student earned 27 credits for her prior work experience, Rosen said. “This made a tremendous impact on the quality of her life by enabling her to complete her degree faster and with substantial savings on top of it.”

t National University of Health Sciences, if you’ve finished your general education requirements, you can earn a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science in as little as 16 months. Not only that, NUHS gives you the freedom to tailor your own degree program by letting you create a course list that matches your unique goals. Whether you plan to use your science education for a career in business, health care, or as a prelude to graduate school, you can construct a specific program to give you the best preparation.

According to Dr. Randy Swenson, dean of NUHS’ College of Allied Health Sciences, “You can choose from any combination of courses in our BS program to complete your bachelor’s degree. There are no required core courses, just a requirement that you earn 64 credits. So no matter which of our many courses you pick to meet those credits, you’re on track.”

That means that if you are interested in medical administration or hospital work, you can choose courses in Medical Spanish, Medical Terminology and Computer Software. Planning a career in sports and fitness, how about adding courses in Sports and Performance Nutrition, Kinesiology, or Exercise Physiology? If you are looking for a place in research or laboratory work, you might choose courses in Research Methods and Statistics, or Epidemiology. If you want to learn more about how the brain works, NUHS offers Biopsychology and Neuroscience.

“Most of our students are interested in nutrition,” Dr. Swenson says. “That’s why NUHS has six separate courses in nutrition and food science available in the BS program.”

NUHS is a primary destination for those seeking a professional career in natural health care. Originally founded in 1906 as a single purpose chiropractic college, National’s academic programs now encompass chiropractic medicine, naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, oriental medicine, massage therapy, and more.

The best part of earning your bachelor’s degree at National University is that you’ll be taught by many of the same faculty who teach in the professional degree programs, and you’ll use the graduate-level facilities of one of the world’s top universities specializing in natural medicine. NUHS boasts an outstanding library of 13,000+ volumes devoted to health science, a cadaver-based gross anatomy laboratory, as well as an on-campus student clinic where you can take advantage of free health services.

NUHS’ beautiful 35-acre Lombard campus is conveniently located in suburban Chicago, and offers on-campus housing, financial aid counseling, a student fitness center, and several student social and professional networking organizations.

Restaurant reviews

Get a homestyle meal at Bulldog Ale House CAROL STREAM – Sometimes you just want a homestyle meal, a plethora of beer options, and a classy atmosphere to possibly take in a game.

Bulldog Ale House takes the concept of a neighborhood sports pub and combines it with a full-service dining room. The bar area is partitioned off from the diners, meaning you can feel free to bring your family for dinner and not have to fret about any sports fans’ exuberance spoiling your meal.

On a recent visit, I opted for one of the few seats not in direct view of a TV, primarily because it was a slow night in the sporting world. That was a good thing, because it allowed me to focus on the food. My companion, not much of a sports fan, was indifferent to the televised display, but had a great time regardless.

Located in the Fountains at Town Center subdivision just off Lies Road in Carol Stream, Bulldog Ale House could, at first glance, be mistaken for a local version of an Applebee’s, but that’s not true at all.

There’s nothing kitschy about Bulldog, just a clean, nicely decorated and well-maintained eatery with a focus on food and beer.

Wanting to get a sense of what’s offered, we started out with the “super grande platter” of mozzarella sticks, chicken wings, chicken tenders and warm pretzels.

As mozzarella sticks were apparently in short supply that night, my dining companion was delighted at the chance to substitute mini corn dogs instead. Served with a variety of dipping sauces, it could easily serve as a meal for two all on its own.

We ordered entrees nonetheless, knowing we’d end up taking most of the meal home for leftovers – you can’t very well review a restaurant off a single appetizer. I selected the beef Stroganoff, a childhood favorite of mine that can be excellent when made well and terrible when not. In this case,

They’ve got all (again, topped with ice cream, it was terrific.

Strips of skirt steak are sautéed with fresh garlic and mushrooms, then combined with red wine and brown sauce over fettuccine. Add a dollop of sour cream and the dish is complete. If I hadn’t been so full from the appetizer, I easily could have polished it off; instead, it made for a terrific lunch the next day.

My companion was similarly stuffed from the appetizer, and selected the pot

roast over the pot pie, reasoning that the pot pie likely wouldn’t reheat as well. The pot roast is cooked in a red ale gravy with carrots, red onions and celery, and served with garlic mashed potatoes. Not usually a fan of cooked carrots, my companion enjoyed every morsel, proclaiming the various flavors complemented each other perfectly.

Bulldog Ale House offers 32 beers on draft and 22 in bottles at the Carol Stream

the standard varieties you’d expect at any bar, and some more esoteric brands, such as Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse, Half Acre Daisy Cutter and Shock Top Belgian White. If you enjoy a draft brew, there’s probably something here for you.

As you might’ve guessed, we didn’t have room for dessert, but would’ve been interested in the giant chocolate chip cookie (topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate syrup) or

whipped cream and chocolate syrup). But then, who’s going to make it as far as dessert when the appetizer and meal portions are so tasty and generous? Maybe if we just split an entree …

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LANSING – On paper, Friday’s matchup didn’t seem to favor Lemont’s boys basketball team.

T.F. South was playing on its home floor and was one game behind Hillcrest for the top spot in the South Suburban Blue standings while the Indians were missing leading scorer Mike Wisz.

But in the end, a total team effort proved to be the difference as Lemont notched a 60-57 win.

“We probably had no business winning that game,” Lemont coach Rick Runaas said.

They were playing for everything. But it’s nice as a coach to get that feeling at the end of the night of seeing a lot of the things you have been teaching play out on the floor. It was an exciting win that left me very proud.”

Luis Marquez topped the visitors with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Ryan Shereck posted 10 points and four rebounds and Austen Gumber added eight points and three steals.

“Luis has been playing with confidence and assertiveness the last few weeks,” Runaas said. “Something has really clicked with him. He is demanding the ball, and when he is getting the ball, he is being assertive with it. He is making good, quick decisions.”

One day later, Lemont nearly pulled off another big victory, instead falling 49-45 to Waubonsie Valley at the East Aurora shootout, which was originally scheduled for Feb. 1 before being canceled because of the weather.

The Indians were in possession of the ball down two with less than 20 seconds remaining, but a potential game-tying basket was waved off because of a charge call. Marquez again led the way with 11 points.

“That was another good team win,” Runaas said. “[Waubonsie] had a lot of nice pieces and were well-balanced. We led for most of the game, but in the fourth quarter we let it get away from us a bit.”

Bill Ackerman – backerman@shawmedia.com

Lemont’s Jack Valone plays defense in a Feb. 18 home game against T.F. North. Valone and the Indians won on the road against T.F. South on Feb. 21.

Lemont closes out the regular season tonight at home against Reavis on senior night.

The hope is that Wisz will be able to return from his ankle injury he suffered Feb. 18 against T.F. North as the Indians hope to take momentum into the postseason.

“When you go through a little losing streak like we did in January,” Runaas said, “it is very easy for young players to pack it in and stop listening. But that hasn’t happened and it’s nice to be rewarded for that later in the year.”

Playoff outlook Lemont Class: 4A Regional: Lemont Sectional: East Aurora Seed: No. 16 First game: 6 p.m. Monday vs. No. 17 Oswego East Outlook: The Indians are hosting a regional, but the road to a title is tough. If Lemont can top Oswego East in the opener, its reward is a date with No. 1 seed Benet in a regional semifinal on Tuesday.

“Oswego East was in the Christmas tournament at Romeoville but we didn’t play them,” Lemont coach Rick Runaas said. “They look like they want to get up and down the floor and they want to shoot the ball. They look a little like a couple teams we play in our conference, so hopefully it’s not a big divergence from that style we’ve seen a couple of times.”

Though hit hard by graduation, the Indians have still found a way to post a 13-11 record heading into tonight’s home game against Reavis, the regular season finale.

Lemont’s Fritz, Jerantowski make college commitments SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LEMONT – Lemont High School senior soccer players Kelly Fritz and Kim Jerantowski recently signed National Letters of Intent to play at the collegiate level beginning in the fall.

Fritz will play at the University of Illinois-Chicago for head coach Brian Rigby, and Jerantowski will attend Northwestern University and play for coach Michael Moynihan.

Not only do Fritz and Jerantowski rate among the top players in Lemont’s program history, but they also have keyed one of the most successful stretches in the program’s history.

In their first three seasons on varsity, they have helped head coach Rick Prangen’s squad to a combined 61-14-4 record. During that time frame, the Indians have captured three South Suburban Conference championships – winning 33 straight conference matches – as well as two IHSA regional titles, two IHSA sectional crowns and two IHSA supersectional championships. Lemont has advanced to the IHSA Class 2A state finals twice in three years, finishing third in 2011 and fourth in 2013.

Jerantowski played both forward and midfield during her career and enters her final season with 63 goals and 23 as-

sists. Fritz has been a steady goalkeeper who has allowed just .68 goals per game in 73 career matches.

As juniors in 2013, both players were named all-state selections by the Illinois High School Soccer Coaches Association, and each earned SSC all-conference honors for the third straight year. Jerantowski posted a career-high 60 points on 21 goals and a career-best 18 assists (two points for a goal, one for an assist).

Fritz played every minute in net for the Indians and posted a 21-5-2 record. She posted a caProvided photo reer-high 16 shutouts – including three in the postseason – Lemont girls soccer players Kelly Fritz (left) and Kim Jerantowski reand allowed one goal or fewer cently signed letters of intent to continue their soccer careers at UIC in 25 of 28 contests. and Northwestern, respectively.

8PREP ROUNDUP

Kyriakoulis takes reins Lemont swimmers set school records of Lemont boys volleyball WRESTLING GIRLS BOWLING SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Lemont competed at the Downers Grove North sectional on Saturday and finished with eight points.

The 400-yard freestyle relay team of Jake Rangel, Andrew Wood, Michael Diorio and Joseph Ziebell placed 11th, finishing with a time of 3 minutes 37.64 seconds.

Ziebell’s time of 2:12.99 in the 200 individual medley and 1:08.46 in the 100 breaststroke both set new school marks.

The 200 medley relay of Wood, Diorio, Jay Drassler and Bradley Bendle was 12th. The 200 freestyle relay of Rangel, Evan Ganzer, Ziebell and Bendle also placed 12th, breaking their own record with a time of 1:39.33.

Also placing in the top-20 individually were Diorio (13th in the 500 freestyle; 16th in the 200 freestyle), Ziebell (15th in the 200 IM; 18th in the 100 breaststroke), Wood (19th in the 200 IM and 100 backstroke), Brian Dohse (19th in the 500 freestyle; 20th in the 200 freestyle) and Rangel (20th in the 100 freestyle).

The trio of Jimmy Brennan, Egan Berta and Jake Kirkman represented Lemont’s wrestling team at last weekend’s Class 2A individual state wrestling meet in Champaign.

Brennan, a junior who captured conference, regional and sectional titles, went 2-2 in the 145-pound weight class. He opened with a pin over Brandon Suchyta of St. Viator before losing 5-1 to Kyle Rodriguez of Lincoln-Way West in the second round. He bounced back to defeat Marion’s Luke Abbott in the wrestlebacks but fell one win short of a medal after getting beat by Haratio Austin of Springfield. The two-time state qualifier finished the winter with a record of 41-8.
