Lemont is full of losers ... in weight loss, that is By JANICE HOPPE jhoppe@shawmedia.com LEMONT — Serious health problems, such as breast cancer and high blood pressure, recently jolted Dino and Ellen LeKousis into reality about their weight issues. Ellen was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer in April 2012 when she realized she could help beat it if she lost some weight. Estrogen in Ellen’s body was causing her tumor to grow. “We both had been hoarding around extra weight for quite some years,” Ellen said. “Last April I was diagnosed, and (discovered) a woman’s fat holds estrogen — so I really needed to lose weight.” Dino was battling his own health issues as well — being diagnosed with high blood pressure, becoming easily fatigued and a general feeling of “being old,” he said. He and Ellen had trouble getting up and down from the floor and even playing with their grandchildren. “My biggest motivation was Ellen’s condition and the urgency of her need of weight loss,” Dino said. “We jumped on the wagon together and we will do it together.” At the end of September, Ellen and Dino decided to enroll in the Lemont Park District’s “Lemont Losers” program — which mimics the NBC television show “The Biggest Loser.” Lemont Losers is a sevenweek weight loss program that meets twice a week with a certified personal trainer. Workouts consist of strength

training, cardio and core work. To win, the team has to have the highest body-percent weight loss. Jean Skarzynski, the certified personal trainer for the program, holds classes for participants twice a week and has a weigh-in every Thursday. “Lemont Losers is a program designed to help those start and keep on track with their fitness goals,” Skarzynski said. “Through motivation of a team as well as holding members accountable, goals are achieved with weekly weight tracking, food logs, weights and cardio.” At the time the couple signed up, Ellen was still undergoing radiation treatments for her breast cancer, but fought through her body’s resistance to keep active. “It was really hard because radiation really just wears your body out,” Ellen said. “In the last stages (of radiation), they do a super-intense dose.

I really, really wanted it.” Since beginning the program, Dino and Ellen hit the CORE fitness center a total of five times per week. Three times per week, they show up to the fitness center on their own to walk or run on the treadmill, row and climb. Then, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, they attend the Lemont Losers class where they lift weights. “We never thought we would run again, now we are running on the treadmills,” Dino said. “It’s life-changing.” To date, Dino has lost 65 pounds and Ellen has dropped 34. Neither is afraid for the weekly weigh-in, as they are

eager to learn how much they have lost and be named the biggest loser for the week. “I think the weigh-in is cool,” Dino said. “We jump off the scale with lost weight.” Dino said he now has a clean bill of health thanks to the program and working out five days a week. “I got rid of the high blood pressure,” Dino said. “When you start staring down the barrel of diabetes, I think it’s more frightening and we just weren’t going to get to that.” The biggest motivator for the Lemont couple has been the commitment to attend the Lemont Losers program and the results they can see in how they feel and in their clothing.

Dino has 35 more pounds he wants to lose, while Ellen is going for 71. And they’re fine with slow and steady. “I just feel better, sleep better and eat better,” Dino said. “We aren’t on a ‘diet’ and we eat all the normal foods, we just learned how to fuel our body. The whole thing is a learning experience.” Ellen had some advice for those who may be in their old shoes. “Put down the remote control. Just do it — it’s never too late,” she said. “People always think they are beyond that point, at the point of no return, but it’s never too late to get your health in order and make a life change.”

Chef Eduardo Nepomuceno cuts scallions for a soup at the Lemont Nursing and Rehabilitation Center on Jan. 29.

First head chef hired at Lemont Nursing & Rehab By JANICE HOPPE jhoppe@shawmedia.com

LEMONT — The heat is on in the kitchen for Eduardo Nepomuceno as he was recently hired as the first head chef for the Lemont Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Nepomuceno jumped at the chance to become the center’s head chef as he hopes to use his background in nutrition, dietetics and restaurant management to provide a great meal for nursing home residents. He previously was in charge of managing and overseeing operations and cooking for Panda Express, Portillos/ Barnelli’s and Pei Wei by PF Changs. “It’s a higher quality of food and something they would go out to eat with their family to get,” Nepomuceno said of the dishes he is preparing. “They can get that meal here. It’s quality meals and at the same

time I know it’s nutritionally sound. That was my goal.” The goal for the nursing facility is to use only fresh ingredients and raise the standards of dining for residents, he added. Nepomuceno is in charge of creating dishes for the residents’ menus, coming up with four unique dining events each month such as a “build a burger” night and planning

seasonal menus, which include hearty dishes like stew in the winter and lighter dishes like fruits and salads in the summer. “Being the first head chef, I really need to make an impact and that is the direction we are heading towards,” Nepomuceno said. “We want to be more culinary-focused in the meals of our residents rather than just getting by day-today. We want to pay attention to detail and present them with food that is visually appealing.” Despite his passion for the culinary arts, Nepomuceno said he never wanted to become a chef and actually was enrolled in a Philippines university to become a doctor. “I always liked cooking but I never saw myself doing it professionally,” Nepomuceno said. “It actually clicked when I was doing my internship in

a hospital. I saw the tray line and all the big pots and ended up spending my time in the helping line than doing my rounds.” At 20 years old, Nepomuceno decided to begin catering as a part-time job, which helped launch his career as he was able to support his schooling for a nutrition and dietetics degree. Today, Nepomuceno looks for a long career with the center as he hopes a corporate chef position becomes available for him to train incoming chefs at other centers to achieve the same goal of serving high-quality food to residents. “The goal is for all the facilities (owned by the Lemont Nursing and Rehabilitation Center) to eventually have the same vision as we have — restaurant quality food at home,” Nepomuceno said.

LEMONT — Lemont High School faculty members were victorious, but the real winner of the National Honor Society Student-Faculty Basketball Game Fundraiser Feb. 7 is the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The group is the recipient of a $1,700 check thanks to the fundraiser, during which teachers and faculty squeaked out a 48-41 win over the students. Money was raised through attendance and by raffling off roster spots for the students, according to National Honor Society co-sponsor and English teacher Marek Dron. “It was terrific,” Dron said. “Financially, it was the most successful fundraiser we have had. I have to give credit to the (National Honor Society) students who went above and beyond: President Jon Clark, Natalia Jezyk, Eddy Sinovich, Claire O’Leary, Molly Finnlley and Alyssa Jaje.”

Members of the high school’s basketball teams couldn’t risk injury heading into the playoffs, so four students from each grade level — boys and girls — were selected to make up the student team. The faculty team was made up of volunteers. This is the fourth year the National Honor Society has hosted a Student-Faculty Basketball Game Fundraiser, Dron said. Every year, the society selects a new charity to donate the money raised. “In past years we let opportunity present itself and we benefited the efforts in Haiti and Japan,” Dron said. “Our members are pretty good about selecting a cause and it helps when you have a group that is passionate about the cause and the game.” Along with raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the group also asked for canned goods donations and received about 150 cans to donate to

Standing-room crowd packs village hall for public hearing on Lemont Sports Complex By JANICE HOPPE jhoppe@shawmedia.com LEMONT — If constructed this fall, the Lemont Sports Complex will attract more than 600,000 people annually, according to village officials. On Monday night, the complex was already attracting a crowd, though the 60 or so Lemont residents who turned out at village hall weren’t looking for soccer or baseball games. Instead, they were there to sound off on the proposed $21 million athletic facility. The Lemont Village Board hosted a public hearing on the proposal, and of the 60 or so in attendance, nearly 20 spoke publicly on the project, some in favor, some against, and some just wanting to know more.

Many of those who spoke in favor of the project Monday are involved with various sports traveling teams. They included Bill Douglass and Mary Pollard. “They will come here if there is a place to play,” said Douglass, referring to lacrosse players across the area. Douglass is involved with the Lemont Youth Lacrosse Organization, which he said has tripled membership over the last three years and is in need of more playing fields. “I congratulate you for thinking outside the box,” said Mary Pollard, a mother to children in various traveling sports leagues. “... As many people who might criticize you for moving too fast, just as many would criticize

you for dragging your feet.” Resident James Ladas was one of the speakers Monday to bring up concern over how the project was revealed to the public. “To a degree, the village has gone behind our backs in a grandiose project, a $21 million bond issue,” Ladas said. “I am disappointed this has taken place rapidly and don’t feel we have had enough time to discuss this as citizens and taxpayers.” The proposed $21 million complex will sit on 26 acres at the north end of Stephen Street. 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. The complex is proposed to be staffed by a firm that will be working under the umbrella of the village of Lemont, officials said. Resident Tim Stieber questioned whether the project can be self-sustaining, as officials have said it would be. “I want everyone to think about this,” Stieber said. “Can you do this at half the revenue stream? I bet it’s closer to half than full (projected revenue). Can we afford the other half? On Jan. 28, the Lemont Village Board began the process of borrowing $21 million in general obligation, alternate revenue bonds to fund the complex. The bonds would be repaid over 30 years and funded through sales tax, Tax In-

crement Financing district funds, income tax and operation revenue from the facility — which will be the major source of funding, officials have said. While residents had a chance to air their concerns on the complex during the hearing Monday, those opposed to it still have the option of forcing the issue to the ballots. If a petition signed by 785 registered Lemont voters is filed by March 2, the issue would be put on the April 2014 ballots. If a petition is not filed, the Lemont Village Board is expected to issue the $21 million in bonds at a meeting in March. Ground-breaking would then begin that month, with a targeted completion date in November.

Pending state approval, District 113A looks to add 7 teachers District targets class sizes with new strategic plan By JANICE HOPPE jhoppe@shawmedia.com LEMONT — After three months of analyzing resources and needs in District 113A, administrators have completed a draft strategic plan that includes additional staffing and upgrades in technology, curriculum and facilities over the next five years. “One thing that ranked loudly was class size,” Superintendent Susan Birkenmaier said. “We looked at where we need to really focus staffing in-

creases to get the most effective response.” For the 2013-14 school year, district officials are looking to add six full-time teachers and one part-time teacher. In addition, the district will hire an additional counselor. Before hiring the teachers, District 113A needs the Illinois State Board of Education to sign off on a new financial plan from the district. With ISBE’s approval, the hires will reduce average class sizes in grades kindergarten, second, third and fifth. Kindergarten classes will be reduced from an average of 27 to 24 students per classroom; second grade from 27 to 23 students; third grade from 31 to 27 students and fifth grade from 42 to

32 students. Grades one, four, six, seven and eight will not get additional teachers. The strategic plan draft also includes long-term goals for class sizes throughout the district, with kindergarten through second grade classes

having 21 to 24 students on average, third and fourth grades having 23 to 27 students per classroom, and fifth through eighth grades having 26 to 30 students per classroom. In addition to targeting class sizes, the strategic plan aims to update materials in math and writing curriculum, look for ways to improve the district’s technology to build student engagement and facility improvements in all three schools. The draft plan did not include an outline to reinstate extra-curricular activities such as band, music and foreign language. Officials reasoned bringing the activities back into the school day would reduce class time, and determined it wouldn’t be “in the best inter-

ests of the students.” “Part of our five-year plan is to look at it again,” Old Quarry Principal Bill Caron said. “Too many of my colleagues are having to cut band, art and music and we have always cherished that here. Luckily, we had a group of parents to step-up and do it for us.” The District 113A Board of Education is expected to vote on the strategic plan during its Tuesday meeting at 7 p.m. at Old Quarry Middle School. After board approval, administrators will be tasked with creating a new financial plan to submit to ISBE. “It’s a living document that will get us started and headed in the right direction,” Birkenmaier said of the strategic plan. “We know there will be changes.

We will have the latest and greatest tools and software available to tell your story. Studio 300 will offer six sound-recording studios of differing sizes, two video recording studios with a shared control room, three group collaboration rooms with hightech equipment for working together, and 18 iMacs with the best software for creating and editing digital content. There will also be equipment available for in-library use and equipment that you will be able to check out as well. Most importantly, there will be knowledgeable and friendly staff members available to answer any of your questions. The concept of our Studio 300 space is that it will be a do-it-yourself lab, and our staffers will be there to help you figure out how to build what you want to make. Studio services manager, Jeffrey Fisher, brings more than 20 years of audio visual experience to Studio 300, and he is building a great team to help you in our studio.

New Lemont Junior Women’s Club president Jill McAndrews stands next to the Safety Village mural Feb. 6 in Lemont. This is the club’s 20th anniversary of service to the community, and one of LJWC’s main staples is their work with Safety Village.

The Lemont Junior Woman’s Club will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year. Jill McAndrews has become the group’s new president and revealed that the organization’s theme is “The Tree” — “It’s grounded, growing and giving,” she said. Members meet at 7 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month at Safety Village. Anyone interested in information about membership should send an email to Joy Michalak, membership@lemontjuniorwomansclub.org. The Lemont Public Library, 50 E. Wend St., will host a Moms and Muffins event from 6 to 7 p.m. Monday. Mothers are invited to bring their children, ages 7 to 11, to the event to enjoy reading classic books together and enjoy some muffins. Participants are asked to read the book “Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Grahame beforehand. Registration is required. Call Mary Inman

To the editor: My friend Mary has been calling people and asking for donations for AmVets for more than 20 years. She recently received a surprise call from her boss. Mary‘s boss wanted to tell her some news that would make her very sad and yet very proud. One of the ladies she had called for more than 10 years had passed away, and her daughter thought it would only be right to let Mary know. She wanted to thank Mary since she knew how much she had truly cared about her mom. She asked if they could relay the message to Mary. It was this expression of thanks that meant so much! Mary was so shocked. Never in all the years that she has been a caller for AmVets had anyone ever called her to let her know someone had died. Many times the phone just rings and rings without an answer. Mary wonders if the person is all right. At other times the phone number is disconnected. In Mary’s mind, she thinks that maybe that person has passed See LETTERS, page 13

I have been asked why a library is building a creative space like Studio 300. Aren’t we all about books? My answer is that libraries are more than just a source of information. We are a place where people come to learn and to create something new

from what they have learned. In the past, the creation tools may have been paper and pen or even typewriters. More recently, that has meant computers with Microsoft Office and similar software. Studio 300 will now provide the latest tools and expertise so our patrons can continue to build and create things important to them with the resourc-

es offered by the library. Please be sure to watch our website, www.fountaindale. org, for more information about Studio 300. We look forward to seeing you there in March.

Music to your ears Vibrant entertainment scene melts winter blues This month’s lineup includes One Night Band and LAVA Rock. And at 8 p.m. most Thursdays, fans can enjoy the sounds of The Pete Ellman Big Band.

By ALLISON HORNE msleditorial@shawmedia.com Winter often brings the blues, but many restaurants and bars in the suburbs are taking a different approach to the word “blues.” Instead of referring to the curl-up-in-bed kind of mood, they’re looking at the art form. Although hibernating might seem like a good option during winter months, it would be a little more fun to grab your dancing shoes and gravitate to the hot spots around town that host live music weekly. The suburbs often sit in the shadow of Chicago’s impressive music scene, but there are plenty of local venues that are starting to emerge as hubs for up-andcoming musicians. From rock ‘n’ roll to country, folk and even DJs, here are some of the suburban spots worth checking out.

CABANA CHARLEY’S

Where: 6315

For those who like a perfectly concocted cocktail accompanied by a good DJ, Bar Louie has the killer combination. Chris T offers music every Thursday night to go hand-in-hand with $5 signature martinis and half-price appetizers from 4 to 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. to closing. Every Friday and Saturday, DJs control the music starting at 10 p.m.

The fun starts with karaoke Thursdays and live music Saturdays, but don’t forget about trivia Tuesdays. Shows change monthly, so be sure to check the website for details on upcoming bands.

Stylish comedy By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com Fans of the P.G. Wodehouse characters Jeeves and Wooster have a new plot to look forward to, with the third installment by First Folio Theatre in Oak Brook. David Rice of Clarendon Hills, who co-founded the troupe with his wife, Director Alison Vesely, plays a villain in the piece and previews what’s in store. Technical Director Kyle Gettelman of Warrenville also shares his role in bringing the comedy to the stage at the Mayslake Peabody Estate.

How many ‘Jeeves’ shows have you presented, David?

This is the third adaptation that Margaret Raether has done of stories by P.G. Wodehouse. She writes them for her own theater company in Rockford. We are lucky enough to snag the Chicago premiere in each case, and get to put them on right after they do. It’s another delightful, lighthearted, silly comedy. It’s family

friendly — (with) no language issues and no adult content of any sort. It’s a great way to get a much-needed laugh in the middle of winter. They are among (our) best-selling shows.

Explain the interplay of the main characters.

The basic heart of the Jeeves and Wooster stories is that Bertram Wooster is a complete and total twit, an airhead as we might say in modern parlance. His valet Jeeves is the perfect companion to keep him out of trouble and to manage to extract him from any difficulties he gets into. The series (is about) Bertie getting into trouble, and Jeeves finding a clever way to get him out of it.

You’re making a rare appearance on stage. What’s your role in the show?

I play a New York mobster just at the end of Prohibition, named Knuckles McCanne. With the assistance of one of his best friends, Binky, Bertie

Bertie to ask Jeeves to save the day in latest adventure at First Folio

manages to run afoul of this mobster and is in fear of losing his life.

The same actors are returning in the leads?

This is the third time we’ll have the great good fortune of (featuring) Jim McCance, who is marvelous as Jeeves, and Christian Gray, who is picture perfect as Bertie Wooster. We’re also lucky to be bringing back Kevin McKillip, who has played a series of Bertie’s dimwitted friends. Kevin finds a different way to make each (unique).

What is your primary role as technical director, Kyle?

Generally speaking, technical directors are the ones responsible for the execution of the scenic design. One of the things that is unique and fun about theater is that everything is always a little different. One show, we’ll be fabricating something out of steel, so it can be rigid and structural so people can climb on it. The next

show, it’s made of fabric or a lightweight material purely as a visual aesthetic.

What have you created for this show?

‘Jeeves Takes a Bow’ is a comedy (with) a pretty standard, realistic interior. (Yet,) the whole look of the set is intended to be one that is sort of comical … a space that is over the top. There’s a huge amount of trim work. (It’s) really the detail that counts — that all the different elements (are) put up cleanly. We create a palette for the actors to do … their craft.

Besides your graduate training, where did you pick up your knack for all these skills?

I grew up on a small horse farm, and have been building things and working with tools my entire life. My day job … (is theater department) technical director at North Central College in Naperville.

Lemont’s Mike Wisz drives toward the basket during his 25-point performance against TF South Tuesday in Lemont.

Wisz Show By SCOTT SCHMID

sschmid@shawmedia.com On senior night Tuesday in Lemont, it was Mike Wisz who stole the show. Showing off his full offensive arsenal, the junior scored a game-high 25 points to propel the Indians past TF South 72-55. Fourteen of those came during a decisive 22-11 secondquarter run in which Lemont’s leading scorer, Juozas Balciunas, was on the bench after picking up a pair of fouls. “We are used to having Juozas on the court the whole time,” Wisz said, “so it was good to help him when he was down. I came out and did pretty well after a rough first quarter.

Game box

Lemont 72 TF South 55 Leading scorers: Mike Wisz 25, Juozas Balciunas 14, Joey Hehir 12 Next game: 7 p.m. Friday at Reavis I’m glad to help my team out.” The victory was a fitting tribute for a senior class that didn’t lose a home game during the past two seasons. “I don’t know if people really realize that these seniors have been undefeated at home as juniors and seniors,” said Lemont coach Rick Runaas. “I haven’t looked it up officially yet but you’d be hard-pressed to find two seasons that Lem-

ont boys basketball has had a better win percentage. These guys have won a lot of games. They might be the most successful senior class in the history of the school.” Count Wisz among those who have enjoyed playing with the senior group, which numbers six players: Balciunas, Joey Hehir, Ed Masiulionis, Jack Shereck, Martynas Einikis and Erick Rydberg. “They are a great group of guys,” the junior forward said. “It’s fun to play with them. We have a lot of talent out there and when we move the ball and play as a team, it works really well.” Tuesday’s win came on the heels of a 51-50 decision over TF North on Friday. In that con-

Lemont junior provides answer with leading scorer Balciunas on bench

test, a Hehir free throw with 4.5 seconds remaining accounted for the final margin. The two victories improved the team’s overall record to 21-2 and most importantly, kept the team just one game behind Hillcrest in the South Suburban Blue conference standings with a 10-1 mark. Lemont and Hillcrest will meet in the final regular season game on Friday, Feb. 22. “TF North and South are good basketball teams,” said Lemont coach Rick Runaas. “We’ve got a couple more to get. Everyone has been talking about it (the Lemont-Hillcrest matchup) all year so it would be nice to have it really mean something.”

That scenario played out last season when the Indians beat Hillcrest 58-57 in the final conference game of the season to force the Hawks to share the title with matching 13-1 records. To have a chance to grab a share of the league title in that contest, the Indians must first get past a Reavis team that is tied for first place in the other division of the conference. “They are physical and strong,” the coach said. “They will try to slow it down and grind it out. If we want the Hillcrest game to mean anything, we have to win this one.” Lemont also has a non-conference game against Glenbard South scheduled for Tuesday.

Giatras ready for last Lemont girls ‘overachieve’ this shot at state title season despite regional loss By SCOTT SCHMID

sschmid@shawmedia.com

State wrestling

What: Class 2A wrestling individual For what has become a stotournament ried athletic career at Lemont When: Thursday-Saturday for Chris Giatras, it all comes Where: Assembly Hall, Champaign down to this. One last weekend. One last chance to walk away with a state title. “That would be better than perfect if it ends the way I want it to,” Giatras said. “That’s for sure.” The senior makes his return Chris Giatras to Assembly Hall in Champaign this weekend for the IHSA individual state wrestling meet. A year ago, Giatras placed fifth in the Class 2A 182-pound weight class, and this time around, he enters the same bracket with a 40-1 record. “Being down there is surreal,” he said. “I’ll never forget my first time walking in there, it was empty but I never had my eyes open up wider. It’s exciting to think about. “All the stress and anxiety I have getting ready for a match, that has turned to pure excitement and anticipation for being in Assembly Hall. I don’t even want to stay in the hotel, I’ll stay in there if they let me.” Giatras booked his trip to state after capturing the title at

the Rich East sectional Saturday. But his path to the crown was far from easy. He defeated previously undefeated Aeneas White of Nazareth 3-1 in overtime in the semifinals and then knocked off Javier Montalvo of Lincoln-Way West 4-3 in the final. “Those kids knew how to handle me,” Giatras said. “I didn’t match up with them too well this week. A better way of saying it is they matched up well with me.” The game plan for this weekend is clear cut. “There is no other way to do it, just go match by match,” the senior said. “And I have to get my offense going early. Work my pace, don’t let them work theirs.” Fellow senior Mike DeVitt also competed at the sectional and fell one win short of returning to state. He won his first match at 220 before losing in the quarterfinals, then picked up a pair of victories in the wrestlebacks. Devitt’s day came to an end with a 9-0 loss to eventual third-place finisher Alec Brown of Oak Forest.

Udziela bowls 275 high game in state finals Suburban Life Media Making her first appearance at the IHSA state bowling meet, Lemont sophomore Kyra Udziela more than held her own in the two- Kyra Udziela day competition. Udziela finished 28th out of 125 entrants, posting a 12-game score of 2,474 pins for a 206.2 average. The sophomore advanced to Saturday’s finals after placing 33rd in Friday’s prelims

with a total of 1,221 and high games of 228 and 227. She then began Saturday with a 275, the second-highest individual game score posted that day, and added a 234 in the second game, finishing with a three-game series of 707; Udziela was one of only four bowlers to go above the 700-mark in that round. Lemont also shares a connection with the individual state champion, Giselle Poss of Oswego East, who is the daughter of Jim Poss, Lemont High School director of information technology. She finished with a score of 2,727.

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com To have a chance at upsetting Romeoville in a Class 3A regional semifinal Wednesday, Lemont needed to take care of the ball and rebound. As it turns out, the Indians weren’t able to do either. Finishing with 19 turnovers while allowing 18 offensive rebounds, Lemont saw its 2012-13 campaign come to an end with a 52-35 loss to the Spartans. “That’s the story,” said Lemont coach Bill Bozue. “The two things we had talked about, one was making sure we took care of the ball and we pretty much did the opposite of that. And rebounding was the other one. We knew they would hit the boards and be athletic and we stood around and watched.” The Indians, who opened the playoffs with a 33-21 win over Plainfield South on Monday, wrapped up the winter with a 14-14 mark. “I think we did a little bit better than expected,” the coach said. “In the plan, we didn’t plan on not having Kelsey (Motto) for most of the season. So we might have overachieved.” Motto, one of five seniors on the roster, missed extended time on two different occasions with a right knee injury. She returned for senior night last Friday after last playing on Dec. 11. “I wanted to come back but didn’t want to rush it,” Motto said. “The plan was to come back for senior night and I did. “I wish we could have won (against Romeoville) but they were the better team. I wish we could have limited our turnovers but we played about as well as we could.” Along with Motto, also playing their final games for Lemont were Courtney

Toth, who led the team with 12 points Tuesday, Nicole Krol, Claire O’Leary and Ashley Pulla. “They all love basketball,” Bozue said, “and they worked hard at it for a lot of years. A lot of them played grade school ball together

or against each other. They developed a bond and that is what sports is about at the high school level. “One of the main reasons kids play is the camaraderie. They stuck together, played hard and were unselfish with the ball.” Lemont will return a solid core next winter, which includes Kim Jerantowski, Jenny Hennig, Carly Motto and Madeline Vermejan, a freshman who made an immediate impact after being called up to varsity midway through the year.
