LEMONT – The weather cleared up in time for the Lemont Park District’s Color Me Proud Freedom 5k Sunday at Centennial Park.

Race Director Jen Saylor said about 300 runners participated, with several other people in attendance to watch.

“Everybody really embraced the spirit of the event,” she said.

The run featured four color stations, where participants were sprayed with food coloring while they ran.

The first three stations were red, white and blue, Saylor said, with the final station being a combination of pink, purple and yellow to represent fireworks.

She said there was plenty of color left over for people to use during the after party, culminating in a final color throw.

This was the first color run the Park District held, and Saylor said she looks forward to being able to do it again.

“We got a lot of positive feedback,” she said. “We had a lot of first-time color runners.”

D-113A trying to recoup $90K in back taxes

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Officials say a miscommunication between District 113A and Cook County led to more than $90,000 in back taxes the school district paid on unused property at 131st Street and Derby Road.

The district, which learned about the back taxes this February, paid the taxes in order to keep the land and is seeing whether it can recuperate any of the money, according to interim Superintendent Pamela Hollich.

Hollich said the almost 11 acres of farm land was purchased in 1989, with the idea of putting a school on it, but that plan never came to fruition because of declining enrollment.

As part of a lease agreement, the previous owners of the land paid rent to the

contract with the farmer of the land to remove noxious weeds from the property, which was determined to be cheaper than the district maintaining the land itself.

Kerrigan said this agreement shows the county that the school district is not gaining any commercial value from the land.

Al Malley was one of the board members who voted against the contract, saying he wanted to know more information about how the property lost its tax exempt status before voting on an agreement. “[The taxpayers] deserve answers before I’m voting on an agreement,” he said.

The district will next investigate what it should do with the property.

“In general, we’re looking at all assets to see what we will do,” Kerrigan said. “At

this point in time, I don’t know of any specific plans.”

It is unclear how the district could use the property.

“From what I’m being told, [the land is] not large enough to build a school, so we may have to look to sell it,” Malley said.

Hollich said the district could still build a school on the land, but it would not be the same kind of building as Old Quarry Middle School or River Valley School.

She said the district could make some money now by selling the land, but the land is a valuable asset that the district still might need.

If the district wanted to purchase land in the future, it would not be for as low a price as what they paid for this land, she said.

“If the district makes that decision [to sell the land], it’s a huge decision,” she said.

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.

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.

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.

Lost dog from Michigan found in Lemont

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – A yorkshire terrier that somehow traveled from Stevensville, Mich., to Lemont was reunited with its owners June 27.

According to owner Anna Holloway, the dog, named Milla, had been missing since Easter weekend and her family had assumed the dog was gone forever.

“Right now, I still check all of her distinctive features to check that it’s really her,” she said. “It will take me a while to sink in that she’s back.”

Linda Silzer of Lemont said she found Milla on Derby Road near 131st Street.

She said the dog looked like it was going to run into 131st Street, so she stopped her car to rescue it.

“Nobody was getting out of their car and she was going to get hit,” she said.

After Silzer gave the dog

He sent her a picture of the dog to confirm it, and she and the rest of her family immediately drove to retrieve the dog.

Boyer said it is unlikely the dog made it to Lemont on its own because of its size.

It is more likely someone picked up the dog in Michigan and brought it here, he said.

Holloway said it took her two-and-a-half hours to drive to Lemont.

While the reunion was emotional, it was the phone call with the news that had the biggest impact on her, she said.

LEMONT – The median sales price of a home in Lemont is slightly up this May compared to last May, but the number of sales dropped, according to data from the Mainstreet Organization of Realtors.

In May 2013, a total of 27 homes sold at a median sales price of $320,000, while 16 homes sold this past May at a median price of $325,500 – up 1.6 percent over last year, the realtor organization said.

However, Christine WIlczek of Real Estate Executives Elite of Lemont disputed that the number of home sales decreased since last year.

“The Lemont market is as strong in sales as in 2005 and 2006,” she said.

She said the sales numbers from the Multiple Listing Service that the Mainstreet Organization of Realtors is using does not reflect the amount of new construction in Lemont and houses being sold that are not on that listing.

“You’re not getting an accurate picture of market conditions,” she said.

Realtor Maryann Rogers of Century 21 Affiliated in Lemont said the harsh winter caused a late start to the spring house-selling season, which may have affected the number of homes sold.

Though the numbers are for sales closed in May, the contracts for those sales were written in March, when the market was still feeling the effects of the winter, she said.

Sales across the west suburban area also declined in May compared to the same month in 2013 – by 4.2 percent, according to the data – and median sale prices rose 3.5 percent from $241,500 to $250,000.

Rogers said the housing market is improving but the

“I thought I was going to see an occasional woman,” he said. “I didn’t realize that I was going to be busy nonstop from the moment I got there to the moment I left.”

He said it is the friction from the shoes on the feet, especially shoes that have not been broken in, that can cause problems. He also said that because some of the participants do not normally walk this much, their feet are not prepared for the wear.

Beaver said he was sur-

prised by the enormity of the event and some of the people he saw.

“Here I am, 35 miles from my house, and I ran into three or four people I knew who

were part of the walk,” he said.

A transformer lies in the driveway of a residence Tuesday along Singer Avenue in Lemont. It fell when the powerlines were struck by the tree laying in the road during the severe weather Monday.

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Close to 500 customers in the Lemont area still were without power Wednesday afternoon after a thunderstorm with heavy winds hit the village Monday night.

More than 2,000 customer in Lemont were without power Tuesday, including the entire downtown.

Freehauf Street, Sing-

er Avenue and Julia Street were the areas hit hardest by the storm, according to Lemont Emergency Management Agency director Tom Ballard.

A power line down on New Avenue closed the section of the road from 127th Street to 135th Street, he said.

Three of the four railroad crossings were without power, he said.

Ballard said one of the issues slowing down ComEd was that because there were

power lines in trees, they have to shut off power to the lines before they can remove the trees.

As of Wednesday morning, the ComEd outage map shows thousands still without power in the south suburbs.

On Tuesday, the National Weather Service confirmed a small EF-1 tornado touched down in the Plainfield and Romeoville areas briefly, causing minor damage with 95 mph winds.

LEMONT – Dr. Bart Beaver, a podiatrist with A Step Ahead Footcare in Lemont, volunteered to treat walkers at the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer May 30 and June 1.

Beaver was part of a group of volunteer podiatrists who served more than 250 participants before the second day of walking for the event.

He treated sprained ankles, blisters and other foot ailments that otherwise would

have kept the walkers from participating.

“I must have popped 120 blisters and patched them up,” he said.

Beaver said he has been involved with the Special Olympics, but this was his first time working with the breast cancer walk. He said his sister-in-law had breast cancer, and they have done the walk in the past.

The tragedy of a failed government program There is a deeply troubling human story that should not get lost behind the headlines and investigations of the controversial and largely failed, anti-violence initiative Gov. Quinn launched shortly before the 2010 election.

For the most part, attention has been rightly focused on charges of sloppy management and mounting evidence of money steered to the politically connected in the Neighborhood Recovery Initiative. So far the program has prompted a highly critical state audit, criminal investigations and, most recently, a rare decision by the legislature’s auditing body to issue COMMUNITY subpoenas to key players.

VOICE But, we should step back Christine and remember the rationale Radogno for this program. During a deadly summer of violence in Chicago, the governor unveiled the Neighborhood Recovery Initiative to offer opportunities and alternatives to young people trapped in some of the city’s most violent neighborhoods.

There is much that could have been done to throw a lifeline to youth in desperate need of job skills and experience. But instead, they got cash to attend yoga classes, go on museum field trips, walk in parades with Quinn and hand out fliers promoting inner peace. Condescending and trivial activities that offered no lasting benefits.

In recent days, we have learned that money meant to help young offenders return to society as productive and law-abiding citizens went instead to a sham organization that apparently helped not one single youth with the money it received.

Last spring we learned that two gang members had been paid by the program and that one was later implicated in the death of the other. This occurred, despite warnings from a community activist who demanded to know why the program had hired “thugs and criminals to do positive outreach in my community.”

Let’s not forget that when the program was launched, the governor promised it would “take on the root causes of violence” by creating “about 3,000 part time and permanent jobs for young people so they have a positive way to go.”

It is wrong to waste taxpayer dollars in any area of government. But, in neighborhoods where the needs are so great, resources so limited and the dangers so deadly, those in charge have a special responsibility to watch every cent they spend.

Regardless of where these investigations may ultimately lead, this much is clear: this was a program that exploited and utterly failed the very people it was supposed to help. That is inexcusable.

Lemont Suburban Life wishes everyone a happy Fourth of July!

Most of us will get to enjoy a day to spend with family and friends and celebrate the freedoms provided to us. Just make sure to celebrate safely!

School district-owned property is supposed to be tax-exempt, but a snag between government entities forced District 113A to pay Cook County $96,000 in back taxes on unused land it owns. Now, D-113A officials are unsure if they can recoup the money. That’s troubling. Hopefully, D-113A can find a way to get this situation righted with a reimbursement.

STREET TALK Q: What’s your favorite Fourth of July food?

“Well done hamburgers. I like adding other stuff on it, too.”

Elmhurst dispensaries should be in plain site

Thanks, Lee, for helping fish out keys from sewer Last month in May, I dropped my keys in the parking lot down a manhole cover sewer drain.

Luckily, it wasn’t in order and Lee stopped to help me. When I went in to see my doctor, he went to the hardware store and got wire and a magnet. When that didn’t work, he and I used a paper clip to make a hook. We were able to fish out my rental car keys from that. So, I just wanted to thank Lee for his help and remind people to be careful when they’re carrying their keys in their hand.

A warning against texting while driving I’m a senior that bicycles every

day. And skateboarders, pedestrians, other bicyclists and people driving their cars – most of you really don’t obey the rules of the road, are in such a hurry, it’s amazing. But the young women and men who constantly text and use their cellphones – I have had many, many near misses with you this summer. And I guarantee you, when one of you hits me, the lawsuit is going to be huge. So parents, please talk to your children, because it’s incessant. Half of the kids under 25, they’re texting at the school zone. So, they hit me and my bike. So, let them know, because if you hit me, it’s going to be a huge lawsuit.

Your texts can wait If you were driving down the street and someone in the car next to you was brandishing a weapon, say a gun, you would be disturbed, frightened and certainly offended. After all, the gun could go off, and you could crash and be killed. Yet when you use your precious phone to text while driving you are equally brandishing a weapon that has been known to kill. Why is it okay to brandish one deadly weapon and not another?

Why are you so willing to put the lives of your passengers, friends and family, not to mention the lives of others on the road in danger so often? Get a grip people; your texts can wait.

Concern about new La Grange apartments I find it interesting how the village of La Grange trustees feel there’d be too much extra traffic volume at East Avenue and 47th Street if there was a traffic signal installed, and yet they didn’t seem to mind that when they allowed for the construction of 300 apartments to go up at the Ogden Avenue and La Grange Road. And are those apartments going to be Section 8 housing that will be a drain on the school system, too? Just wondering.

Dear DPZ, by all means, hide the dispensaries in the industrial district. Away from the eyes of citizens and possibly the police who will eventually find them when robberies are reported.

These dispensaries need to be out in the open and in well-used areas such as City Centre or Spring Road. Maybe it would be better if pharmacies were used for this purpose, but don’t hide them in the I-District. Listen to Scott Levin. He appears to have his head on straight.

In response to Mr. Hughes’ call for more money for the VA, I suggest he get his facts straight.

Since 2011, Hines VA Hospital in Cook County spent $1 billion on salaries and $4 million on bonuses. With all that taxpayer money, veterans still had trouble seeing a doctor. Instead of increasing the number and quality of hospital care staff, Obama administration officials created more bureaucracy at taxpayer expense. It’s not [a] question of money, but a systemic leadership problem. Instead of constantly throwing money the government doesn’t have at a problem, let’s hold people accountable. Oh wait, that doesn’t happen when you’re a public sector employee.

Restaurant reviews

Cooper’s Corner stakes claim on big flavor WINFIELD – When friends recommended Cooper’s Corner, we decided to pay a visit to the restaurant that opened earlier this year in the spot that once housed the venerable Viking.

We walked in on a Friday night to the sound of live music and were offered a choice of seating in the expansive lounge near the band or one of the dining rooms. We opted for the dining room closest to the bar for a happy medium.

The space is updated, yet preserves classic old-school steakhouse charm with large booths, banquettes, tables with comfy chairs and lots of elbow room.

And while the chef puts plenty of emphasis on roast beef, steak and other red meat dishes, there’s a healthy accent on seafood, pastas, freshly prepared crab cakes, sandwiches and other options that make the decision of what to order pleasurably conflicted.

We opted to try the stuffed sesame portabella appetizer, which complemented the meaty mushroom with goat cheese, caramelized onion, and roasted red pepper that popped.

“It’s an interesting blend of flavors and textures,” raved my date.

We each chose soup over salad: a creamy clam chowder and a baked onion. The latter was good, but a tad salty.

My selection of an entree became easy when I spotted the slow-roasted prime rib featured at the top of the menu, and chose the smallest of the three portion choices. It arrived rare per my request, and was sublimely tender and juicy. Its side dish was a superb mix of sauteed zucchini, broccoli, carrot, squash and onion cooked al dente.

My companion chose one of the evening’s specials: the baked berry Florentine stuffed pork loin. The fruit topping made it a memorable dish. A massive portion, we enjoyed it for lunch the next day.

Among many temptations, I look forward to trying the other dish I’d considered: pork short ribs with barbecue sauce, and a smoky hint of chipotle peppers.

The restaurant, open for lunch and dinner, features daily early-bird enticements, and highlights salads prepared with locally sourced produce.

The menu notes that the pastas are finished with specially aged cheese. Such attention to detail was evident

We did not leave enough room for one of the homemade desserts suggested by a friend, whose comment about the grilled shrimp entree she enjoyed on a previous visit was an enthusiastic “Yummy.”

We second the sentiment.

Cooper’s Corner, with its large parking lot, is easy to find on Roosevelt Road on the border between Winfield and

Wheaton, and well worth a trip for a relaxing experience, deliciously fresh ingredients, friendly service and the added option of hitting the dance floor Fridays and Saturdays.

The weekend acts range from blues and R&B to jazz and Rat Pack favorites.

Toni Kukoc takes a quick break from working with young basketball players during his camp held at the Bulls/Sox Academy in Lisle last week. The former Chicago Bulls star has turned into an avid golfer in retirement.

LEM • Friday, July 4, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

Mark Busch - mbusch@shawmedia.com

Q&A

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen endure as all-time great players for the Chicago Bulls.

However, Toni Kukoc earned his own spot in Bulls’ lore in 1994 when he hit a buzzer-beater to defeat the New York Knicks in a playoff game.

That was near the end of the his rookie season, after which he went on to play in Chicago until the 1999-2000 season.

Kukoc officially retired from professional basketball in 2006, but he was back on the court this past week hosting and coaching a camp at the Bulls/Sox Academy in Lisle.

He took time from working with camp participants to speak with Suburban Life sports editor Jason Rossi about the camp, his retirement, his native Croatia’s involvement in the World Cup, and his famous last-second shot.

Rossi: What has kept you busy in retirement?

Kukoc: Not much. Play a

little golf and watching basketball. That’s pretty much it.

Life is perfect. I became like a golf addict, so as long as the weather is nice I can go and golf.

Rossi: What are your thoughts on the camp?

Kukoc: It’s a fun time for the kids. We’re trying to work on fundamentals of the game and teaching them to play the right way and have fun while doing it.

Rossi: What’s the biggest fundamental you try and get across to the kids?

Kukoc: There’s a theme [to

the camp] and it’s listening.

Just listening to the coaches and trying to put all that we say back onto the court.

It’s easy to forget after five minutes what the coach said and just do it the easy way or do it your own way, but we’re trying to get them to listen to the little details we put in their ears and get them to put it back on the court.

Rossi: What was it like playing for the Bulls when they were at their peak?

Kukoc: I don’t want to say it was easy; it was hard, but at the same time it was a lot of fun just for the fact that the expectations were high and the ultimate goal of winning a championship was the only goal. Everything else was a failure. It was a high standard, but it wasn’t something where the goal was put so high that it wasn’t reachable.

So we came to the first day of camp with the idea that if we played together and put our minds in the same place that our goal was achievable,

and it was, three times.

Rossi: What do you miss most about playing?

Kukoc: The competitive nature of it that we all had.

In golf, the U.S. Open or the World Cup in soccer, you see how much the guys want it, how much they grind for it, how much the fans are into it and that’s when that competitive spirit of mine shows up and boils inside of me again.

Then reality hits you, and when I try to overdo it, the body says ‘No, I don’t really think so.’ It brings you back to Earth, but that’s the part you miss the most. The games you won by 20 or 30 you don’t remember, but those last-second shots or the last-second defensive stops, those are the ones you remember and the ones people remind you about.

Rossi: Is that last-second shot against the Knicks your career highlight? Or is there something else you think back on?

Kukoc: I hit more than a couple [shots like that], but

I’d say championships are more the measurement of your success as a basketball player. So all the championships, with all the stuff I did in Europe at first and then in the United States, are kind of the highlights.

The individual stuff is always there, but it doesn’t mean as much if nothing happens team-wise. The shots you hit are great, but championships are what measures somebody’s success.

Rossi: Have you been watching much of the World Cup? Kukoc: I’ve watched a lot of it. I watched Croatia, that’s my team. I watched the United States because that’s my team, too. Obviously I’m happy the States advanced and a little disappointed Croatia didn’t.

Rossi: Do you ever get together with your former teammates and play some basketball?

Kukoc: No, but every once in a while we play golf and we enjoy the competitive nature that way.
