February is Pet Dental Health Month! Animal Care and Reproductive Services, LLC takes your dog’s and cat’s teeth very seriously! Did you know that dogs and cats should not have “doggie” or “kitty” breath? Did you know that bad breath can be a sign of gingivitis and other problems with your animal’s oral health? A healthy mouth is important to maintain a healthy dog or cat. When your pet’s teeth accumulate a lot of tartar, the tarter provides a perfect place for bacteria to grow. As the bacteria on your pet’s teeth and gums grow, the gums become irritated and they allow the bacteria to get into your pet’s body through the gaps created between the gums and teeth, just like in people! Once that gross bacteria has gained entrance into your pet’s body, it can settle in various organs, like the heart or the kidney, and cause greater problems with your pet’s health. Because of this, dental health is especially important in older pets, or pets with other health concerns. Daily brushing will help reduce tartar and bacterial accumulation and gingivitis, however, like people, your pet needs a trip to his or her dentist for a thorough teeth and gum cleaning that brushing cannot provide. ACRS offers full dental health services. We have a state of the art ultrasonic dental scaler, much like your dentist uses on you. We follow each scaling with a thorough polishing and then finish your pet’s dental cleaning with a special sealant to help prevent accumulation of tartar and harmful bacteria. Schedule an appointment today so we can check your pet’s teeth and let you know if it is time for your dog or cat to have a dental cleaning! If you schedule an exam for February 11, 2013, Dental Health Check-up Day, you and your pet will receive a free dental health gift with the exam*! *while supplies last

New Lemont Junior Woman’s Club president Jill McAndrews stands next to the Safety Village mural in Lemont Wednesday. This is the club’s 20th anniversary of service to the community and one of the main staples of the LJWC is their work with Safety Village.

Lemont Junior Woman’s Club president has big plans for group’s 20th year

LEMONT — Jill McAndrews joined the Lemont Junior Woman’s Club seven years ago as an outlet to meet new friends and to volunteer her time for a good cause. Today, she is the new club president and helping ring in the 20th anniversary of the organization. “I feel lucky to be president at this time,” McAndrews said. “The theme I chose this year is ‘The Tree’. It’s grounded, growing and giving. The grounded speaks to the fact that we have been around for 20 years, the growing is each person individually can grow indefinitely and giving is at the heart of what we do — we raise funds and give it back to the community.” The Lemont Junior Wom-

About Jill McAndrews RESIDENCE: Lemont AGE: 40 FAMILY: Married to John; two sons, Jack and James PROFESSION: Stay-at-home mom; former financial analyst for PepsiCo HOBBIES: Reading, exercise and spending time with family and friends an’s Club’s mission is to provide financial support to organizations in the Lemont community. Over the past 20 years, the club has built the Safety Village, helped construct the Lemont Junior Woman’s Club park at Centennial Field, supported food pantries and Meals on Wheels, and provided scholarship opportunities for local students.

Q: What are some of your goals this year as president?

A: I want to celebrate the 20th year anniversary by holding a gala and dinner dance event on April 26. This will give us an opportunity to invite past presidents, members and hopefully rejuvenate and regenerate membership and get people excited about the club again. Our other goal is to launch our redesigned website, www.lemontjunior womansclub.org, in March.

Q: What are some challenges you see facing the club?

A: Rejuvenating membership. We used to be a club of over 100 members and because of various reasons, membership has dropped to about 75 members. We are not struggling but because of lower membership, we have gone down to one fundraiser a year because we are doing all the work. We need to find other ways to raise money that

don’t take hundreds of hours of work.

Q: Why is the 20th anniversary of the club special to you?

A: I see what it takes for it to run. It’s amazing that people step up and put forth the time and effort to make things happen. It’s amazing to me to know how hard it is to raise funds and celebrate all the things we have done.

Q: Where would you like to see the club in another 20 years?

A: I would like us to be the “go-to” organization for educational resources for all. Right now, we benefit the ones who need us most and that’s great but what I would like to do is be able to meet the needs of the entire community, whatever they may be. I would also like the club to still provide a social outlet for women looking to establish relationships and grow.

Are you suffering with an

Autoimmune condition?

Living with an autoimmune disorder can affect every part of your life. It keeps you from enjoying the good things in life… time with your kids, grandkids, activities like golfing, 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. There is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders, but you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY. My name is Dr. Jeffrey E Forzley, with Lemont Natural Healthcare. I am a chiropractic physician and a holistic practitioner. I am passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions. I have been in practice for 28 years. As a holistic practitioner I evaluate the whole body and the many systems of the body, integrate their relationships, manage the underlying cause and use natural methods to manage autoimmune disorders.

Are you suffering with any of these autoimmune disorders? • Hashimotos Throiditis • 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 effects. These side effects can be more detrimental than the original symptoms sometimes.

Did you know that medications to treat autoimmune conditions can WEAKEN your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer? There is a time to use medications but not before a NATURAL way to manage the underlying imbalance. So how do I help people with autoimmune disorders? I use a combination of specific NEUROLOGICAL protocols and NUTRITION recommendations… Neuro-Metabolic Therapy. 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. There are 2 parts to the front line defense of your immune system… TH1 (white blood cells) and TH2 (antibody response). These 2 parts should work in balance together. But when you are suffering from an autoimmune disorder, one part is out of balance (dominant). This 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. Through 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 suffered from unbearable itching caused by Hives (chronic autoimmune Urticaria) for over 33 years. Steroid medications helped the symptoms temporarily but the side effects were bad. After an in-depth blood and metabolic analysis, Dr. Forzley found the cause of my problem. After 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 Therapy can manage autoimmune conditions by: 1) finding and balancing the underlying cause. 2) lowering the self destructive effects 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 specific 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. That’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 specific neurological and nutritional protocols, I help to decrease your body’s inflammation, detoxify your body, balance TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17 which NATURALLY boosts your immune system. THAT is how I address autoimmune disorders.

Rose Beaudry, a resident at Franciscan Village, contemplates her next Bridge move on Monday. “It’s not isolation,” Barichello said. “It’s absolutely important for seniors to have a connection with the community of Lemont. They want to know what’s going on around them.” In order to keep the seniors involved in the Lemont community, Franciscan Village teams up with Lemont Township, Lemont High School and the Lemont Library to provide off-campus activities for the seniors.

Franciscan Village resident Virginia Williams, 95, attended a gettogether with students from Lemont High School’s family and consumer science classes in December. The students and seniors baked sugar cookies — the seniors shared some tips — and socialized. “I love young people and I like to be active,” Williams said. “I like to see what the (students) are doing and what’s going on in the world. I don’t like

Residents air concerns on $21M sports complex By JANICE HOPPE jhoppe@shawmedia.com

LEMONT — A crowd of nearly two dozen brought concerns of property tax hikes and questions of transparency to Mayor Brian Reaves Wednesday morning during an informational meeting on the proposed $21 million Lemont Sports Complex. Reaves assured the crowd the project would not require a property tax increase — barring a colossal failure of the project — and instead would be funded through sales tax, Tax Increment Financing district funds, income tax and operation revenue from the facility, which Reaves said Wednesday is estimated at $3 million annually. “Before a project like this would ever go back onto someone’s taxes, the facility would have to fall on its face,” Reaves said at the 8 a.m. meeting.

“Then it would go on property taxes.” On Jan. 28, the Lemont Village Board began the process of borrowing $21 million in general obligation bonds to fund the complex, proposed on a 26acre site at the end of Stephen Street on the southern border of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. The bonds would be repaid over 30 years under the proposal. The development is touted by officials as an attraction that could bring in 650,000 people annually to the downtown Lemont area. It is proposed to have four indoor and outdoor turf fields, a multi-purpose area and an outdoor skating rink for the winter months. The fields will be open to baseball, softball, rugby, lacrosse and soccer and the complex is proposed to be staffed by a firm that will be working under the umbrella of the village of Lemont, officials said.

Reaves also addressed questions as to why the village’s intent to develop the project wasn’t shared with residents until one of the last stages of planning. He reasoned that officials were awaiting results from feasibility studies to determine if the project would even advance, and that negotiations to purchase the property on which the development is proposed were ongoing. Under the Open Meetings Act, government bodies can discuss real estate acquisitions in closed sessions not open to the public. Residents still wanting to weigh in on the proposed development have two options moving forward. A public hearing on the development is scheduled for 7 p.m. Feb. 11 at Lemont Village Hall, during which residents can address the village board publicly. Those opposed to the project

have the option of organizing a petition that could force the proposed development onto election ballots as a referendum in April 2014, if it garners 785

signatures of registered Lemont voters and is filed by March 2. A petition form can be picked up at Lemont Village Hall, Reaves said Wednesday.

new picture for senior living. “It’s all about the lifestyle,” said Monica Barichello, director of community relations for Franciscan Village. “We have a wonderful retirement lifestyle that allows residents to be worry-free and stress-free to enjoy their retirement years.” A majority of the residents at the facility live independently and if health care is needed, there is assisted living and a full nursing center available, she said.

LEMONT — At 90 years old, Kay Gryz isn’t letting age slow her down. The grand title of Wii bowling champion and the lure of big jackpots at the casino keep her going. “I love gambling,” Gryz said. “I like to move from slot to slot. I play the two-cent 7’s game and the one-cent Magician slot. I ante up every play.” Gryz isn’t unlike many of her neighbors at Franciscan Village senior living community in Lemont, many of whom have packed schedules of activities just like Gryz. “When my family calls they always get the answering machine,” Gryz said. “I’m in one thing after the other. If you want to be happy, you have to be busy. That’s me.” And that’s why the retirement life at Franciscan Village suits her, she says. From the Wii tournaments and casino trips, to fitness classes, Bible studies, shopping trips and more: the continuing career retirement facility is keeping its residents busy and painting a

to sit still.” Seniors from Franciscan Village also recently partnered with St. Cyril kindergartners to provide a “Best Buddies” program. “Through that program, whether those kids are now teenagers or in their 20s, they still connect with the seniors here,” Barichello said. “It’s an impact that is made by a generation that is so different than them. Everyone wins. The seniors love every minute of it.” Just as seniors go offcampus to get involved in the Lemont community, the community is also invited into Franciscan Village. Barichello said the village offers open houses throughout the year along with summer band concerts, an Easter egg hunt, a trick-or-treat trail and milk and cookies with Santa. Gryz, who volunteers to show visitors around during open house events, said opening up their doors to the village and attending events off-campus really makes her feel part of the Lemont community. “It keeps you happy all the time,” Gryz said. “Put your heart in things and enjoy.”

LEM • Friday, February 8, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Reporter/Met

LEMONT — District 113A could be in another financial pinch come the end of February. Business manager Barbara Germany told the District 113A Board of Education Tuesday night the Illinois State Board of Education won’t allow the district to defer a $77,000 payment as district officials had requested. Now, District 113A is weighing an interfund loan to come up with the money — money owed to the state from unallowable reimbursement claims District 113A made and received in Fiscal 2010. The loan could, if approved by the District 113A School Board

this month, put constraints on the district’s transportation fund, though it’s unclear to what extent. Germany said she will perform a cash flow analysis over the next week and determine whether enough money is available in the transportation fund to cover the payment. If there are insufficient funds, an interfund loan from the education fund into the transportation fund will be necessary, she said. District 113A requested to defer the $77,000 payment in order to avoid overlapping payments to the state. Administrators will update the board of education on the issue during a Feb. 19 board meeting.

Effective this year, PERA mandates the use of four categories to determine a teacher’s summative rating: Excellent, Proficient, Needs Improvement and Unsatisfactory. Most school districts, including Lemont High School District 210, previously used a three-tier rating system. A committee of district administrators and faculty worked together last spring to modify our existing evaluation instrument to adhere to PERA requirements. School personnel who serve as evaluators must be “prequalified” in order to conduct evaluations. Over the summer and fall, I joined our principal, assistant principals and department chairs in completing this challenging, mandatory and multi-layered training facilitated by the Illinois State Board of Education. The state committee charged with PERA implementation has chosen the Danielson Framework for Teaching as the state model for teacher evaluation. Administrators and faculty are working collaboratively to define and formalize the procedural aspects of this new

Lemont wants to build a $21 million sports complex using general obligation bonds. While they were within the limits of the law in discussing land acquisition issues in closed sessions, there are many aspects of this project that would have benefited from public input. A public hearing will be held Feb. 11. But something this major should have been hashed out with residents long before now. On Jan. 23, Lemont staff members finished moving back into Village Hall. The village started renovating the building in June. Improvements included renovating the foyer, technology enhancements, new tuckpointing, installation of a new roof, plumbing improvements, window replacement and replacement of the parking lot. Nice work.

To the Editor: Before the election, I saw bumper stickers saying, “Vote Democratic to protect Social Security.” President Obama gave college students a deal to get votes. After the election, Obama wants to decrease Social Security increases. I think what I earned comes first over student grants, welfare and loans. The irony is now I gave money to AARP to petition Obama and Democrats to protect Social Security. College student subsidies are only one of the many new ways for the government to spend money since the Great Society (the start to climb to the top of where the fiscal cliff is at). The next big crash is going to be unpaid student loans. I started college at a junior college because it was cheaper. I finished college at a different school — but in my area — because it was cheaper to live at home instead of a dormitory and go to school and work at the same time. The Republicans wanted a plan where retirement deductions would go to nongovernment See LETTERS, page 11

plans so the worker would have control of what is being done with the pension. For example like 50 percent gold, 50 percent treasury bonds with an insurance company or whatever. The Democrats said that would not be safe. Also, the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare wanted to protect Social Security from Wall Street incompetence. Now I am subject to government incompetence. The government uses Social Security payroll deductions to run the government; it is not put into a separate fund to earn interest. So, my Social Security is competing with food stamps, college subsidies and much more. About 40 years ago, the government made the Social Security a welfare office. People who do not have Social Security points go there to get supplementary security pensions; they may immigrants, disabled and people on welfare. I have no objection to supplemental security, but welfare does not belong in a Social Security office. Question 1: Is the government using Social Security funds to run the overhead of a welfare office (publications, salaries, etc.)? James T. Rohrbacher Berwyn Question 2: Is the government

using Social Security funds for supplementary security pensions? Where are AARP and NCPSSM? Government employees have a Grade A plan, and Social Security employees have a Grade D plan. I could list 14 reasons for this. Just one reason is government employees can retire sooner with more money and insurance. Some time ago, the government wanted to put government employees in Social Security, which would have been the greatest rip-off of the century. The government employees’ union ran a radio ad that said, “We know there is something wrong with Social Security, but putting us into Social Security would not help.” I disagreed because misery loves company. Where were AARP and NCPSSM? The government can give general revenue to foreign aid, welfare and government employees but not Social Security. The more you put into Social Security, the lower the rate of return on your investment. This is the opposite of most investments: The more you put in, the higher the rate of return (percentage rate). If I am wrong about any of the above, let me know.

evaluation process, which will be utilized beginning with the 2013-14 school year. Senate Bill 7 links teachers’ performance ratings to reduction-in-force procedures by placing teachers into one of four groups depending on the rating received. For example, a rating of Excellent places a teacher in RIF Group 4, while a Proficient rating places a teacher in RIF Group 3. Honorable dismissals occur by RIF group in numerical sequence. This significantly reduces the impact of tenure status and seniority on personnel reductions, and allows school districts to ensure teachers with the highest performance evaluation ratings — regardless of length of service — remain in the classroom. PERA requires school districts to implement a teacher evaluation framework that

is research based, aligned with professional teaching standards and incorporates student growth. By August, the first two expectations will be checked off the list. Our next hurdle will be challenging: incorporating student growth into the teacher evaluation process. Our implementation date of 2016 may be years away, but that doesn’t mean we’ll wait until then to begin sizing up that hurdle. Next year, a joint committee of administrators and teachers will begin working together to determine how to incorporate student growth into teachers’ summative ratings. By September 2016, Lemont High School teachers will be assessed not only on classroom observations but also by their students’ academic progress.

Stepping up her game Erin Gentile of Downers Grove to compete at World Irish Dancing Championships By ALLISON HORNE msleditorial@shawmedia.com Seventeen-year-old Erin Gentile has come a long way since she was 8 and fell in love with an Irish dancer’s sparkly dress on stage. Now, the Downers Grove South High School junior is wearing a sparkly dress of her own, and is headed to the World Irish Dancing Championships — for the fourth time. Gentile has been dancing for nine years with the Trinity Academy of Irish Dance, where she has emerged as one of the most promising competitors. At the contests, dancers first compete in a pair for two rounds, and if the judges like what they see, dancers are called back to perform solo. To qualify for the World Championships, one must place in the top 10 percent at regionals or nationals. This year, Gentile placed 21st at regionals, and automatically qualified for the World Championships, which will be held in Boston the last week of March. Last year, Gentile placed in the top 100 at the World Championships, but this year, she’s got her sights set a little bit higher.

What are your goals?

This year, it’s to be in the top 50. You do the first two rounds with other people, and if the judges like what they see, they recall you, and you’re in the top third, so you get to do a round by yourself. I’ve made it to the top third in every competition except at the World Championships.

I’m the kind of person that believes in hard work — I didn’t start with that much actual talent, but I have worked up to where I am.

What kind of work goes into preparing for something like that?

What we do for the World Championships is usually classes four days a week, and then I try to practice an hour and a half every day on my own that I don’t have practice. It seems like a lot, but I don’t mind it. I also run at Downers South. It’s a lot, but I enjoy everything.

Where do you see yourself taking Irish dancing?

It’s my passion and I’ve loved it since I started and I don’t want to stop — even if it’s not competing. I love performances and I love going to other countries and performing in other cultures.

Lemont’s Jenny Hennig defends in the paint during a game against Reavis last month.

Receiving the No. 14 seed at the Oswego sectional, the best news for Lemont girls basketball is that it gets to host a regional. The squad opens up with No. 20 Plainfield South, a squad with single-digit victories this season. “It is nice (to be hosting),” said Lemont coach Bill Bozue. “It’s very convenient, we don’t Lemont have to travel. And we have familiar sights as far Class: 4A as shooting and the sur- Sectional seed: roundings. It is a definite No. 14 plus.” Regional: Lemont If Lemont does get by Regional opener: Plainfield South, the team will have a tall order in 6 p.m. Monday vs. the semifinals with No. 4 No. 20 Plainfield Romeoville awaiting the South victor. The Indians lost to the Spartans by 13 in the third game of the season. “They are very good,” Bozue said. “They are tough inside and outside. They have people who shoot the three, and inside, they have a tremendous post player who does post moves with either hand. And judging by the results and the teams they are playing, I think they have made a lot of improvements later in the year.” The Indians, who are 13-12 on the season and 7-5 in the South Suburban Blue Conference, wrap up the regular season on Friday with a matchup against T.F. North. The squad could get a boost in the postseason by the return of Kelsey Motto, who was leading the team in scoring with 11 points per game before going down with a knee injury in early December. The senior was expected to resume practicing this week. In her absence, Courtney Toth stepped up and is now averaging 10 points and 6.8 rebounds per outing. Kim Jerantowski is at 9 ppg while topping Lemont with 66 steals. “The key for us is not making turnovers,” Bozue added. “The last time out, in the Tinley Park game, we only had four turnovers for the game and that was tremendous. Against Hillcrest, at the half, we only had five turnovers. “If we can continue to do that, we can keep ourselves in games with even the good teams. Defensive rebounding is another key.”

after the last couple of years they’ve had.” Contests against Reavis, which is in first in the other division of the South Suburban Conference, nonconference-foe Glenbard South and SSC Blue leader Hillcrest also remain. “This stretch will show us where we are heading into the playoffs,” the coach said. The Indians are coming off an 8063 win over Tinley Park Friday. Juozas Balciunas led all scorers with 30 points while also adding six assists and four steals. Joey Hehir added 17 points and three assists while Jake Terrazas hauled down 10 rebounds. “I thought we played well,” Runaas said. “Juozas played maybe his best game and when you say he played his best game, that means something. “I think we are playing really well right now. I don’t want to peak right now but we want to keep going up. That is what we’ve talked about, just keep getting better and better.”

Sitting with a current record of 192, there is no debating that Lemont’s boys basketball team is extremely talented. But now, over the final five games of the regular season, the Indians will get to see just how good they are. The crucial final stretch, which will decide the South Suburban Blue conference race, begins with a matchup against T.F. North on Friday. “We are currently tied for second with them with one loss (Hillcrest is undefeated),” said Lemont coach Rick Runaas. “This is our chance to stay in the hunt for the conference championship, and theirs too. If they beat us, they have a chance if we beat Hillcrest.” Matching up against the big and physical Meteors will pose a challenge. “We have to be mentally tough,” the coach said, “and not let them get in our heads and dominate the game physically.” Lemont’s home finale follows on Tuesday against T.F. South. “They are right behind us and T.F. North, and last Friday, T.F. North beat them by two,” Runaas said. “It is senior night, our last home game. Juozas (Balciunas) and Joey (Hehir) were talking about it, that it was going to be their last game ever at Lemont. That means something to them

Cheer dynasty lives on at Lemont By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com

The Lemont cheerleading team has already built an impressive legacy, and first-year head coach Dave Erlenbaugh was just looking to continue that. Taking over the program after spending the last two years as an assistant, Erlenbaugh watched as the Indians finished second in the medium team division at the state meet last weekend. “We are the only cheer program in the state since the IHSA made it a varsity sport that has been on the podium every year,” the coach said. Lemont posted the top score

‘They came back and had the most incredible performance I could hope for.’ Dave Erlenbaugh First-year Lemont head coach of 89.66 in the prelims Friday to lead the field, and then backed that up with a 90.80 in Saturday’s finals. But the Indians were edged out by the 90.92 of Columbia, which moved up to the medium division after winning three straight titles in the small division. “I couldn’t have been more happy,” Erlenbaugh said.

Final stretch to test 19-win Indians

“Those were the two best performances we’ve given all year. Friday at warm-ups, they had an energy that was palpable in the room. I talked to them after warm-ups and said if you take that out to the competition floor, nobody will stand in your way and they did. “Saturday at the finals, their warm-up was even better than Friday’s and they came back and had the most incredible performance I could hope for.” This was the program’s third runner-up trophy to go along with three consecutive state titles (2009 to 2011) and a pair of third-place finishes. “Aside from the talent we have coming in every year,” the coach said, “the support

of the athletic department and school administration is an absolute key to the success of the program. And a lot of it has to do with a phenomenal group of parents. They will volunteer for anything. We do a lot of fundraisers throughout the course of the year and the parents basically take on that.” A portion of credit must go to Erlenbaugh’s son Jared, who did the choreography for the Indians this year. A former cheerleader at Kentucky, he also worked with the Dwight (small division), Conant (large) and Grant (co-ed) teams that finished third or higher in their respective divisions. Last but not least are the athletes themselves. The Indians

roster included seniors Brittany Cantarino, Molly Finnelly, Stefanie Guerrero and Katie Howe; juniors Maddy Detres, Emily Durham, Kelsey Tate, Gianna Turek, DJ Wohead, Gia Letizia, Miranda Neumann, Rebecca Peraino and Lainey Saucedo; sophomores Elly Lambert, Stephanie Markley, Brianna Olkiewicz, Samantha Palumbo, Sammy Walus and Alyssa Bakovich; and freshmen Nicole Clausius and Katelyn Papierski. Jenna Bumber and Bree Grady were also assistant coaches. “We had great captains this year,” Erlenbaugh said. “We had a great senior team. We had a lot of strong leadership from the athletes themselves.”

Giatras, Devitt advance to wrestling sectionals By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com After losing in the semifinals at regionals Saturday, Mike Devitt’s season was on the brink of extinction as he faced a 5-0 deficit in the wrestlebacks. But Lemont’s 220-pounder scored seven unanswered points to defeat Robert Love of Rich Central during the Class 2A Tinley Park regional. The senior then pinned Ray Rodriguez of Lincoln-Way West in the third-place match to qualify for this weekend’s Rich East individual sectional. “He wrestled pretty well,” said Lemont coach John St. Clair. “He got pinned by the kid from Oak Forest (Alec Brown) the week before and this time, he wrestled him tough. He’s making progress. “His bracket at the sectional is really tough. But Mike turned it on last year at this time and hopefully he can do it again.” Devitt will be joined at the sectional by fellow senior Chris Giatras, who dominated the 182-pound weight class at the regional. Giatras notched a pair of second-period pins before

knocking off Carleto Jackson of Rich East 11-1 in the championship match to improve to 37-1 on the winter. “He had a good first couple of matches,” St. Clair said, “and then in the final match, he went up against a real tough kid from Rich East, who was ranked as one of the top 182-pounders in the state. He did a real good job against one of the tougher kids. “Chris got started a little late because they did so well in football. He did well at the beginning but he has gotten better as the weeks go by. He is peaking at the right time.” The senior will have his work cut out for him at the sectional. “There is an undefeated kid from Nazareth (Aeneas White) on his side of the bracket,” St. Clair said. “And the sectional has a lot of city schools so there are definitely some kids we haven’t heard a

Sophomore emerges from state’s toughest sectional By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com When Mark Hollatz said that his Lemont girls bowling team was being sent to the toughest sectional in the state, rest assured the Indians coach wasn’t exaggerating. Despite posting a schoolrecord score of 5,902 at Saturday’s Plainfield North sectional, Lemont did not qualify for the state meet as a team after finishing third behind Oswego East and Waubonsie Valley. Those two teams posted the top scores in Illinois with a 6,582 and 6,530, respectively. To put it in perspective, Lemont’s score would have

captured first place in seven of the 12 sectionals and second in three others. “We knew going in, those two Kyra were the best in Udziela the state,” said Hollatz, who coached the Indians to a third-place state trophy in 2003-04. “All year long, they were always 1-2 in the tournaments. We put up as best of a fight as we would. “It’s just a shame that the best teams aren’t downstate. No question, we would have finished in the top 10 at state.

1,310 Pin total for Lemont sophomore Kyra Udziela at the Plainfield North sectional, a score that qualified her for this weekend’s state meet Probably six other teams at our sectional could say the same thing.” All was not lost for Lemont, though, as the team will be represented at the state meet by sophomore Kyra Udziela, who posted a six-game score of 1,310. She rolled a 261 and 258 in her final two games. “She was surprised, she had no idea,” Hollatz said.

“If her last two games were a 240, she wouldn’t have made it. She also had another 258 in there. Especially being a sophomore, she is really excited. Hopefully it will be a good kickstart for next year. The goal is to make Day 2. That would be good and then you see what happens.” The Indians go out knowing they saved their best for last. “I’m extremely happy,” the coach said. “We had four games over 1,000. That was our best tournament of the year. Every tournament the last couple of months we’ve been getting better and better. Conference was our best

tournament all year and this beat that by 400 pins.” Amanda Kolar, one of five seniors to compete at the sectional for the Indians, posted the team’s second best score with a 1,267. Rounding out the list of seniors is Nora Collins (1,172), Lizzy Melvin (1,101), Nina Moeller and Rachel Margalus. “When that group came in as freshmen, we knew they would be good,” Hollatz said. “The tough part is seeing them leave. Saturday was kind of bittersweet. We bowled so well but I will miss them all. Hopefully we can rebuild.”

Stop texting while driving To help people break the habit of texting and driving, technology companies are coming up with solutions. For instance, Xperia SmartTags by Sony can be put on a dashboard or a set of car keys and allow you to change your phone’s settings for driving by touching your NFC-enabled smartphone to the tag. Smartphone applications can make this process even easier. When paired with AT&T’s Drive Mode app, you can automatically disable your phone’s texting and calling capability. The app can be programmed to include an automatic message that’s sent to anyone who texts you while you’re behind the wheel.

CAR Q&A

Opening a shop Q: I am opening a three-bay repair shop and would like your opinion on companies that provide service repair information. A: The ﬁrst step is to listen to the customer and understand they are in your shop because they have a vehicle problem or just need routine service. I rely on Identiﬁx and Alldata information services. The initial cost may scare you, but keep in mind both will save a lot of time, which equals to a lot of money saved.

More Nash-Kelvinator memories Q: Did a Nash ever pace the Indy 500? I say yes; my retired friends here at the nursing home say no. We are all car crazy and racing fans. Can you tell us more about Nash and that era of the automobile? Elwood K., Worchester, Mass. A: Elwood, you win! Nash was the official pace car of the Indy 500 in 1947 and was driven by George W. Mason, president of Nash-Kelvinator. Mason was a marketing genius who used Nash automobiles in the “Superman” TV series, too. As I’ve touched on in the past, Kelvinator and Nash formed a corporate merger in 1937 when Charles Nash, then CEO and president of Nash Motors, merged his company with George W. Mason’s Kelvinator Corp., known for refrigeration. Mason thus began a major marketing campaign that to this day is respected as novel and very effective. This Nash was one of the 18 cars given to officials at the Indy 500 for their use by George W. Mason, president of Concerning the Indy Nash Kelvinator.

“What’s for dinner?” Between school, activities, work and life, there are nights the dinner decision doesn’t happen until the last possible minute. Fortunately, the answer is probably right in your pantry — canned food. Items for a well-stocked “cantry”: � Canned vegetables (peas, corn, carrots, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, spinach) � Canned tomatoes (sauce, paste, diced, crushed, whole) � Canned beans (black, pinto, garbanzo, navy) � Canned fruit (pears, pineapple, peaches) � Canned seafood (salmon, shrimp, tuna) � Canned ﬂavored beans (baked, refried, seasoned) � Canned broth � Condensed soups � Canned meat (chicken, turkey, roast beef )

The plant-based proteins of soy are packed with beneﬁts for your body. They: � Have the essential amino acids needed for growth. � May help reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering blood cholesterol and increasing the ﬂexibility of blood vessels. � Are equivalent to animal sources of protein but have no cholesterol and little saturated fat. The national 2010 Dietary Guidelines and the MyPlate nutrition guidance recommend soyfoods such as soymilk, veggie burgers, soy nutrition bars, soy sausages, tofu, soy yogurt, soy protein shakes and edamame. Meat and poultry lovers can enjoy soy, too, by incorporating soy crumbles and other soy products into their favorite dishes.
