Street Fair spotlights historic Lemont By DAN FARNHAM

If you go

dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The Lemont Area Historical Society will hold its annual Lemont Street Fair, featuring an antique and craft market, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday on Lemont Street, between Illinois and Cass streets. Sue Roy, chairman of the Street Fair, said the event serves as a showcase for the historical society’s museum and programs. “It’s amazing how many people who have lived in Lemont for years don’t even realize

The first fair was held six years ago and was the idea of former Historical Society president Joanne Pick, who originally planned for the event to be an ice cream social, Roy said. Yates said the festival evolved into an antique fair because of the historical society’s connection to old and historic items. It will be the first Street Fair since Pick died on June 24. “It’s a great tribute to her that her idea has carried on after all these years,” Roy said.

dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Representatives from Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A and the Lemont-Bromberek Council of American Federation of Teachers Local 604 see positive signs in the ongoing teacher contract negotiations. “We continue to meet and continue to make progress,” Superintendent Susan Birkenmaier said. The district’s previous teacher contract expired at the end of June. The teachers have continued to work under the conditions of the previous contract since then. Union President Michelle Nevin said working without a contract is not unusual and the

ongoing negotiations have not distracted the teachers from their job. “We continue to teach our students,” she said. Birkenmaier said meetings between the groups have been more frequent recently. “Throughout the process, both teams have committed time to a very thoughtful process of understanding each other’s needs and building together a very strong, positive future for District 113A,” Birkenmaier said. A negotiation session was Sept. 11, followed by negotiations between smaller groups Sept. 16. The board discussed negotiations during the closed session of its Wednesday meeting, as well.

LEMONT – The Lemont community raised thousands of dollars during the Sept. 13 Lemont High School football game to benefit the family of Assistant Football Coach Greg Banner. Banner’s 23-month-old daughter, Stefanie, was diagnosed with nephroblastoma, a cancer of the kidneys that also is referred to as Wilms’ Tumor. “I was really overwhelmed,” Banner said. Kathy Young, a math teacher at Lemont High School and the wife of Athletic Director John Young, and Kim Michaelsen, the wife of

Lemont Football Coach Eric Michaelsen, discussed trying to help the Banner family, but it was the Lemont High School community that made their idea work. “I don’t know how, but it all just fell into place,” Michaelsen said. During the game, volunteers collected donations in buckets. Money also was raised through a 50/50 raffle and bake sale. Students showed support for the Banner family by wearing pink and purple – Stefanie’s favorite colors. Banner, who lives in New Lenox, is in the third year of his second stint with the Lemont High School football team. He previously coached

At that time, I couldn’t sit or stand for more than 30 minutes at a time. After Dr. Papadpoulos’ program, 90% of the time I have no pain and can participate in the activities that make me happy, and allow me to enjoy time with my family.”

“I found Dr. Papadopoulos through his ad in the newspaper. For about 25 years I’ve been sufering from low back pain and I was unable to do the things I’ve always wanted to do. I tried everything out there imaginable to ix my back and was ultimately hopeless. After several sessions of Spinal Decompression I have made a full recovery. I am inally able to golf, take long walks with my grandchildren and enjoy life. I would highly recommend Dr. Papadopoulos, his oice, and Spinal Decompression to anyone.

John S. | 81 years old | Retired Naperville,IL I Didn’t Think I had Any Other Options “I was referred to Dr. Papadopoulos through my daughter. Before I had been sufering from extreme low back pain, hip pain as well as leg and foot numbness for over 2 years. I was having constant back spasms and didn’t think I had any other options besides drugs, injections, surgery, or just living with the pain. Dr. Papadopoulos introduced me to Spinal Decompression and after the 1st visit, I was already noticing improvement. Now I never have spasms and I can live a normal life.”

Prepare to ‘get hitched’ for a good cause The Lemont High School Educational Foundation’s “Food for Thought” event has drawn hundreds of supporters each year since it was first held in 2007, and its ever-changing themes provide a fun atmosphere for those in attendance. However, this year’s version – “Food for Thought: Gettin’ Hitched” – is sure to be the most entertaining yet. Slated for Oct. 19, at Gleneagles Country Club in Lemont, this year’s event may seem like a formal affair with its wedding theme. The event tickets give the look and feel of a wedding invitation and the décor will remind attendees of their wedding days. However, “Gettin’ Hitched” is no formal event. Join us at “Food for Thought” and dig deep into your closet for that long-forgotten bridesmaid dress or ill-fitting tuxedo, or see if your wedding dress still fits. The “reception” will include unlimited food and drink from 7 to 10 p.m. and a live band will play the best – and worst – wedding songs until midnight. Students from the school’s speech team will portray tacky wedding characters and patrons can even dance with the bride during the “dollar dance.” “Food for Thought” once again will feature valuable, exciting raffle prizes.

planitlife.com room than their own house. I am tired of looking at other people’s junks in front of my house every day. When I have visitors, they have to park down the block because there is no room by my house. How fair is that? Street parking also encourages multiple families living in a single family house, these houses often use far more resources than they are paying for. That is unfair to all the taxpayers in the village. It’s time to stop catering to the few rotten apples, and focus on the good of the village. That is the fair thing to do.

Water Agency approves new budget By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com WOODRIDGE – The Northern Will County Water Agency approved a $662,500 budget during a quarterly meeting Sept. 9 at Woodridge Village Hall. Entrenched in an ongoing struggle to gain control of the 30-mile Bedford Park transmission pipeline from the privately held American Lake Water Co. and its local subsidiary Illinois American Water, the village of Bolingbrook will shoulder a majority of Northern Will County Water Agency’s budget for the new fiscal year, which started May 1. Comprised of Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Woodridge, Lemont and Homer Glen, the Northern Will County Water Agency was formed in order to buy and take over the pipeline, which distributes water to residences in the five

Seminar to answer questions about taxes LEMONT – The Cook County Board of Review will hold a property tax appeal seminar at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, at Lemont Village Hall, 418 Main St. The seminar, offered to taxpayers seeking to appeal their 2013 property tax assessments, will include a presentation by Board of Review Commissioner Dan Patlak explaining how property taxes are calculated and the appeal procedure, according to a news release from the Cook County Board of Review. Taxpayers are asked to bring a copy of their most recent tax bill. Appeal forms may be

What they’re paying Of the $662,500 budget for Fiscal 2014, the towns that comprise the Northern Will County Water Agency will pay: Bolingbrook: $521,000 Homer Glen: $136,000 Woodridge: $4,500 Lemont: $390 Romeoville: $145

towns. The pipeline primarily serves Bolingbrook residents. As a result, Bolingbrook will cover about $521,000 of the budget while Homer Glen pays $136,000, Woodridge shells out $4,500, Lemont pays about $390 and Romeoville just $145, according to agency documents. In January, Northern Will County Water Agency filed an eminent domain lawsuit in an attempt to gain control

of the water pipeline, accusing the company of hiking rates for profit during the last decade. Eminent domain gives governing bodies power to seize private property without owner’s consent, but the case is not expected to go to court until 2014 or early 2015. The suit states the threat of additional water rate hikes by the company are “real and imminent.” “Between 2003 and 2012, water rates have increased by more than 50 percent to unprecedented levels,” according to the lawsuit. Obtaining ownership of the pipeline from the privately owned water company would “eliminate the profit motive inherent in private ownership,” the lawsuit states. Doing so would allow the nearly 30,000 residential and commercial users “to save substantial money on water over time.”

Filing the suit – which mayors representing the five towns in the water agency unanimously agreed to in December – launches a legal battle that could take years to resolve, a battle Illinois American Water representatives say could cost taxpayers millions. “The water agency and its members have worked on their takeover plan for almost six years, have spent hundreds of thousands of precious taxpayer dollars on legal fees and consultants, yet they still misrepresent the facts,” said Michael Smyth, senior manager of Illinois American Water. “These [water rate] increases alleged in the complaint have been caused by rate increases from other water suppliers such as the City of Chicago. These supplier increases are passed along without mark-up or profit by American Lake Water.”

Man struck by car near Cog Hill Wednesday morning SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LEMONT – A 35-year-old Palos Hills man was hit by a car on South Archer Avenue near Bell Road at 5:25 a.m. Wednesday, according to Cook County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Sophia Ansari. Ansari said officers responded to a report of a car versus pedestrian. They later learned the man had

been standing in the middle of Archer Avenue when he was struck by a 2004 Crown Victoria. The man was taken to the hospital but his injuries were not life-threatening, according to the Sheriff’s Office. They did not disclose to which hospital he was transported. Ansari said it is unknown at this time why the man was standing in the road.

Restaurant reviews

The Cellar Bistro uncorks delectable fare WHEATON – A friend mentioned The Cellar Bistro as a favorite destination, so my dining companion and I decided to drop by one recent weeknight to see for ourselves. Outdoor seating beckoned, but we opted to sit indoors in the charming dining room. The bistro’s corner location in downtown Wheaton is ringed by large windows, but, at night, the lighting goes way down to amp up the romantic ambiance. Amid tables and a few banquettes, we selected a hightop at a window to oversee the burgundy-red room and an attractively backlit bar, where stemware and wine bottles glimmer. After viewing the menu’s expansive wine list, it’s easy to see why the word “cellar” is part of the bistro’s name. The full bar also features a few craft beers and alternates two on tap. We opened with mushroom brie soup, accompanied by baguette slices. It was delectably savory, with a hint of sherry, and finely minced mushrooms in a creamy soup that tasted more complex with every spoonful. The Cellar Bistro rules a corner in the heart of downtown Wheaton.

By RYAN TERRELL rterrell@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Lemont’s football team has its work cut out for it if it’s going to make it 10 consecutive playoff appearances. The Indians fell to 1-2 with a 28-14 home loss against conference crossover Richards last Friday despite a promising defensive effort. Coach Eric Michaelsen’s squad now will likely have to go 5-1 the rest of the way to finish 6-3 and secure a playoff spot, though a 4-2 finish would put them on the bubble at 5-4. As he put it, the Indians’ “backs are against the wall.” Still, he was content with his team’s effort against Richards. “I was real happy with the effort that the kids gave,” Michaelsen said after the game. “But we’re still making too many mistakes on the field.” It was the first time in six years Richards (3-0) knocked off Lemont. The Indians defeated the Bulldogs in the second round of last year’s IHSA playoffs, 23-19. It was Richards’ skill position athletes who proved to be too much for Lemont in last week’s contest, led by quarterback Hasan Muhammad-Rogers and his three touchdowns through the air. Muhammed-Rogers’ third TD of the night sealed the win with 2:43 left. With the Indians trailing 20-14 and looking to get the ball back with just over two minutes left, the Bulldogs’ quarterback lofted a pass into the left side of the end zone on a third-and-21 play. Wide receiver Dedrick Shannon made the grab, leaping over two Lemont defenders for the 34-yard touchdown. A two-point conversion gave Richards the two-touchdown lead. “Their kid out-jumped our

Sophomore quarterback Chris Thompson, who took over after halftime of the Indians’ first game, showed some growth in the game but his youth was evident. “I think he’s doing a really nice job for us,” Michaelsen said. “He’s still learning and he’s going to make mistakes, but he’s also going to make some really nice plays for us, too.” The Lemont defense was led by senior defensive lineman Andrew Miller with 2½ sacks. Miller was happy with his unit’s effort. “We’re getting better every week,” Miller said. “It [stinks] to lose but coming out here and playing like that feels better than last week.” “I feel our backs are against the wall but I am not worried,” Miller said. “It didn’t happen tonight but I feel like we’re building and the young guys are getting better and we’ll get better as we go.” Lemont kicks off its South Matthew Piechalak – mpiechalak@shawmedia.com Suburban Blue conference schedule tonight at home Lemont sophomore defensive back Jeremy Fejedelem (left) breaks up a potential touchdown throw Sept. 13 against Oak Forest. during the Indians’ game against Richards.

MORE BEARS COVERAGE AT HUBARKUSH.COM

Bears face wounded, desperate Steelers team Hub Arkush I suppose it would be clever to say you really have to be wary of a wounded Steeler, and the Pittsburgh Steelers at 0-2 will be all of that when the Bears come calling Sunday night. But the truth is I’m not entirely sure what a Steeler is? My best guess is they just represent steelworkers in Pittsburgh, and while I’m sure those guys are tough, I’m pretty sure I’d rather wrestle a Steeler than a Bear. Still, this is the first time a Mike Tomlin-coached team has been two games under .500, and they’ll kick off the game knowing a win here puts them right back in the middle of the AFC North chase with all four clubs stumbling out of the gate. These Steelers do have their issues, but they’re just four seasons removed from their last Super Bowl title and they will be a desperate bunch when

the Bears get to Pittsburgh. The biggest challenge Pittsburgh offers is at quarterback, where Ben Roethlisberger already has won two Super Bowls for them – Tom Brady and Eli Manning are the only other active QBs with more than one ring – and is as dangerous extending plays in the pocket as anyone in the game. Big Ben is particularly scary when his protection breaks down and he starts improvising. Bears defenders will have to hold their coverage in pass defense much longer than they do against most opponents, and with the problems they’ve had pressuring quarterbacks it can make for an awfully long night. One factor in the Bears favor, however, is Pittsburgh is mediocre at best at most of the skill positions on offense, and the running game in particular is as weak as any Steeler team in recent memory. Pittsburgh drafted Le’Veon Bell in the second round after allowing former No. 1 pick Rashard Mendenhall to leave via free agency and then sur-

prised many by releasing last year’s leading rusher, Jonathan Dwyer, in training camp. When Bell went down with a foot injury – he’ll be sidelined at least three more weeks – the Steelers were forced to trade with the Cowboys to bring in Felix Jones. After sitting out the opener, Jones rushed 10 times for 37 yards on Monday night in Cincinnati and will probably be Pittsburgh’s main ball carrier versus the Bears. Emmanuel Sanders, Antonio Brown and Jerricho Cotchery are the primary receivers but none match up particularly well with the Bears corners. Heath Miller is a quality tight end but is still not 100 percent after a serious knee injury last year, and backups David Johnson, David Paulson and Michael Palmer really don’t scare anyone. This is another big benefit to the Bears, whose safeties have struggled in coverage to date. Pittsburgh also continues to struggle on the offensive line, and their best player, Maurkice Pouncey, is through

for the year after tearing up his knee. Completing the puzzle on that side of the ball, the Twitterverse was ablaze early in the Bengals game with insiders and amateurs alike trying to figure out whether or not Todd Haley even had a game plan and, if so, what it was. Defensively, the Steelers still are very good against the run, and they love to get after the quarterback. But the loss of veteran Larry Foote for the season in the opener versus Tennessee, along with the releases in the offseason of James Harrison and Casey Hampton, appear to have left a real leadership void. Troy Polamalu is still on the backend at safety, but he appears to have lost half a step; and Ryan Clark is better against the run than the pass at the other safety. This will be the Bears and Marc Trestman’s new offense’s first look at a 3-4 defense. For Pittsburgh it revolves around the linebackers, and LaMarr Woodley and Lawrence Timmons are both still extremely active.

MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT Jaguars at Seahawks, Sunday 3:25

cation: This column carries no hatred for running backs. The value of productive running backs in fantasy football is unquestioned. The main point of the last couple of columns was that quarterbacks and receivers are also important. With every expert urging owners to draft running backs early, we felt there would be some good bargains at quarterback and receiver. Specifically, we said that Aaron Rodgers was going too late in most drafts. And that’s the last time we need to visit that topic.

On to week three …

I guess this is an obvious one, but Seattle is going to crush the hapless Jaguars. Some might worry about a letdown after their big win over the 49ers, but this is too big of a mismatch for that to matter. I won’t insult your intelligence with the obvious recommendations of Marshawn Lynch or the Seattle defense, but also play Russell Wilson and Steven Hauschka.

week one or week two? Let’s say somewhere in between, which makes him an OK play.

MATCHUPS TO AVOID Colts at 49ers, Sunday 3:25 Conversely, take a long look at any Colts. The 49ers will be out to prove a point. Andrew Luck is very good and he’ll likely have to throw the ball many times. However, Luck seems like a risky play, so consider other options at QB.

Chargers at Titans, Sunday noon

Bears at Steelers, Sunday 7:30

You might be frustrated with Chris Johnson, but stay patient this week. We’ll say 150 yards, with a high probability of a TD or two.

The new-and-improved Bears offense has looked just that over the first two weeks. On the road in a hostile environment against a team with its back to the wall, it might be a different story, however. This is a below-average matchup for Forte, Marshall, and Martellus Bennett but they are playable (Bennett being the least attractive).

Colts at 49ers, Sunday 3:25 Colin Kaepernick rebounds in a big way. Also play Frank Gore, Vernon Davis and the 49ers defense. Will we see the Anquan Boldin of

Is there any more useless fantasy information – other than this column, of course – than the “start ’em or sit ’em” feature? Seriously, how can you definitively advise a fantasy owner to start or sit a certain player without knowing the specifics of that owner’s roster and league format? If you play in an eightteam league, the bar for a “start” is set a lot higher than if you play in a 12-team league. Other factors, such as point systems and injuries, make it impossible to abjectly declare a player a “start” or a “sit.” Still, we watch the NFL Network scroll and wait to see the names of our players. We rejoice when they are declared a “start” and cringe when they are a “sit.” I understand that this is intended

more of a thumbs up/thumbs down, but I’ve encountered many newer fantasy players who take the advice literally. Weekly point projections also are flawed and tend to confuse newer owners. My wife pointed out to me that one of her backs was projected to score seven points and another was projected for 14. She figured it was a no-brainer. However, if you broke down the projection, they were probably predicting 70-some yards and no TD for the one back and 80-some and one TD for the other. If only life were that simple. The yardage makes sense, but no one can accurately predict the intangibles that result in one player scoring and another getting shut out. Perhaps a more useful tool would be a yardage projection along with the estimated chance of scoring a TD. And once more for clarifi-

WEEKEND WATCH Oak Forest at Lemont When: 7 p.m. today Where: 800 Porter St., Lemont 2013 records: Oak Forest 2-1 (1-0 SSB); Lemont 1-2 (0-0 SSB) Outlook: Although Lemont fell by a 28-14 margin to undefeated Richards on Sept. 13, the Indians definitely took steps forward. Currently in the midst of their toughest stretch of the schedule, the squad needs a similar effort this time around against South Suburban Blue conference foe Oak Forest, a team that will have revenge on its mind. A year ago, Lemont knocked off the Bengals twice by a combined 10 points, including a 21-14 postseason victory in the Class 6A quarterfinals. In fact, the Indians now have won the last eight meetings dating back to 2007. Oak Forest comes in with a 2-1 mark after defeating Thornton Fractional South, 28-21, in Week 3. The Bengals also topped Phoenix Military Academy of Chicago, 40-0, in the first game of the season.
