for spring vote on sports complex By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – While it is still seeking sources for private financing, the Village of Lemont is moving forward with the process of bringing its proposed Lemont Sports Complex to referendum on the spring election ballot, Mayor Brian Reaves said during a Lemont Village Board meeting Oct. 21. Reaves said the village has contacted four individuals about privately financing the $21 million project, but potential investors did not like that they would never be able to own the land where the sports complex would be located. “Every individual who came to the village of Lemont as far as privately financing this ... that was the number one sticking point,” he said. The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago owns the land at the north end of Stephen Street. By state statute, the district is not allowed to sell the land, but can lease it to government agencies for recreation, Reaves said. Reaves said the village plans to meet with more potential investors in November. The sports complex became a contentious topic in February as the village prepared to move ahead with the project. Residents collected enough signatures to force the village to go to referendum with the complex. Janet Hughes, one of the petition organizers, said she was concerned by both the cost and lack of public awareness about the project. “The fact that they were going to approve it without the voters’ approval was very bothersome in the economy this day,” she said. Hughes said she thinks all public projects the size of the complex should require public approval and is afraid the taxpayers will end up covering the cost. Reaves said the village plans to pay for the complex by using operation revenue from the facility, sales and income
What’s the question? Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves said the referendum question during the spring election on the proposed Lemont Sports Complex would be “Shall the village of Lemont sell bonds to be able to fund the Lemont Sports Complex?” Reaves said selling bonds is the same means the village used to fund other projects, such as the new Lemont Police Department building. tax dollars, and Tax Increment Financing district funds. He said these financing sources are in place as safeguards so that the village will not have to use property taxes for the project. “There would have to be a catastrophic issue where the Village of Lemont could not make a bond payment,” he said, for the village to use property taxes to pay for the project. If the referendum passes, the village will not be required to build the facility if costs are too prohibitive, Reaves said. Hughes said she would like private investors to fund such projects rather than local governments. “If private investors aren’t grabbing at this opportunity, maybe it’s not that good of an idea,” she said. Meanwhile, Reaves said the interest from sports clubs wanting to use the facility has remained strong. He said teams are attracted to the indoor and outdoor fields and the competitive rates for booking space. Reaves said he also believes the sports complex could be a financial boon for the rest of Lemont because families who go to the facility for sporting events may visit local businesses between games. “People have always talked about turning downtown Lemont into an entertainment-type destination place,” he said. Reaves said if the facility is approved in March, construction could be completed by next November.

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – When coming up with ghost stories this Halloween, Lemont residents needn’t look farther than the village limits for inspiration. The Lemont Historical Society will host Fright Nite, a celebration of spooky stories steeped in Lemont history, on Tuesday. Local storytellers will share old favorites and some new tales. The winner of a scary story contest will also be announced. Historical society President Susan Roy said the stories are meant for all ages and the event attracts families and adults. The historical society will serve up popcorn, refreshments and some surprises, she said. Participating storytellers agree that it is Lemont’s long and sometimes sordid history that makes it a good source for ghost stories. “It was kind of almost a ‘Wild West’ feel back in the canal days,” storyteller Joe Deskovich said. Historical society member Richard Lee said the size of the town also plays a role in building legends. “When (weird things happen) in a small town, it tends to shock people,” he said. Some of the storytellers draw on recent or personal experiences for their tales. Lee has thought of a new story based on an abandoned house in Lemont where he spent time. “I usually have been telling the story of the ghost of St. James,” he said. “But people were telling me, ‘Oh we’ve heard that before. Don’t you have something new?’ I suppose it’s run its course.” For Deskovich, the audience reaction to the stories is the best part. “It’s great to watch the faces of the kids,” he said. “It gets the community together. It showcases a big part of what makes the town unique.”

Lemont Mayor Reaves takes seat on Metra board By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com

Matthew Piechalak - mpiechalak@shawmedia.com
Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves spoke about the village’s economic future during the 10th annual State of the Village Address in March. Reaves was recently appointed to a seat on the Metra Board of Directors.
LEMONT – Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves was appointed to one of the vacant positions on the Metra Board of Directors during its Oct. 18 meeting. Reaves was chosen for the position on Thursday by members of the Cook County Board of Commissioners representing the townships of Proviso, Riverside, Berwyn, Cicero, Lyons, Stickney, Lemont, Palos and Orland, according to the Cook County website. “I am graciously humbled by being appointed to the Metra Board,” he said. “We have the great task of taking Metra from a very good railway to a great railway.” Reaves is replacing Brad O’Halloran, who resigned from the Metra Board amid the controversy surrounding former Metra CEO Alex Clifford. Cook County commissioners cited Reaves’ business and government background as a reason for his selection. “What separated Brian Reaves from the group was his track record with addressing issues important to suburban taxpayers, like successfully solving previous on-time per-
formance issues along Metra’s Heritage Corridor line,” Cook County commissioner Jeff Tobolski said in a news release. Reaves said he hopes to be able to help Lemont in his new position. “One of my biggest issues and projects when I became mayor was to increase the coverage of the Heritage Corridor line,” he said. Reaves will serve the remainder of the Metra Board term due to expire at the end of June 2015 and said he would like to continue to serve on the board in the future. As a member of the Metra Board, he said he is required to forgo his salary as mayor and take the salary as a Metra Board member, which he said pays less. Reaves said he does not foresee the added time commitment of the Metra Board as being a problem. “I have a great staff at both the village and my business who are capable of keeping me informed,” he said. Reaves said he would not choose being on the Metra Board over his position as mayor because the information he receives as mayor is what makes him qualified to be on the Metra Board.

Lemont Park District does best to give back It’s hard to believe I am already approaching my one year anniversary at the Lemont Park District. Time sure has flown by. As the fitness member services manager at the CORE Fitness and Aquatic Complex, I have really enjoyed being a part of such an amazing facility and getting to know all of our friendly members. Stay tuned for some exciting COMMUNITY equipment updates coming to VOICE the fitness center in 2014. A unique aspect of working for Jen the Lemont Park District is Saylor the opportunity to serve this community in many different ways. I have the privilege of being part of the Lemont Park District Guest Services Awareness and Outreach Subcommittee. The goal of this branch of the Guest Services Committee is to give back to the Lemont community and support the Lemont Park Foundation though various events and fundraisers. This past June, we put together a team of Lemont Park District employees to participate in the Relay For Life. The team worked together for several weeks to raise funds for cancer awareness, which concluded on July 12 during the Relay for Life 24-hour walk held at Lemont High School. We are very proud to say our Lemont Park District team raised more than $2,500 for the cause! On Sept. 20, the committee supported the Lemont Park Foundation’s FORE the Community golf outing at Gleneagles Country Club. The Lemont Park Foundation Helping Hands Award program has been able to assist families in need through financial support for candidates to join various district programs. From exclusive sponsorships to hole sponsorships to the numerous donations of fantastic prizes and generous monetary donations, local businesses, vendors and CORE members really stepped up to help for a great cause. More than $9,000 was raised. Proceeds directly benefit families in Lemont. The month of September is also Leukemia, Lymphoma and Myeloma Awareness Month. In order to raise awareness and support for this cause, the committee sponsored a Spin-A-Thon on Sept. 28. Participants donated $25 to spin for one hour and also had the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets. A big thank you to the Lemont community for their generous donations of raffle prizes and to spin instructor Dawn Thompson, whose efforts made this event such a big success. The Spin-a-Thon raised more than $2,600 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Kevin Dominick said his father, like other veteran Lemont residents, had no desire to move his home or business from town. “These people are like the stone that the quarry’s carved out of: they’re not going any place,” he said. According to Art’s daughter, Jean Wright, Art moved to Lemont when he was about 10 years old. He graduated from Lemont High School and met his wife, Patricia, in town. Wright – who works as an office manager for the family business – said hundreds of people attended Art’s wake. She said people described him as having a “big heart, al-
ways cared about everybody. He always had a smile on his face.” Wright said that while Art had 17 grandchildren, his friendly nature made him an adopted grandfather to several others. One of the ways Art stayed in touch with friends in the community was through his morning coffee buddies. For more than 20 years, a group of business owners and Lemont residents have gathered at about 5 a.m. every weekday for coffee and discussions at local restaurants and coffee houses. Glen McAdam, owner of Surefire Auto Parts in Lem-
ont, said the group talks about everything – from politics, to religion, to what was happening in the village. “We’re just going to miss him for the fun he was,” he said. Al Albrecht, the former teacher and athletic director at Lemont High School, said he will miss Art’s good humor. “You could talk to him for five minutes and you wouldn’t stop laughing,” he said. Kevin Dominick said the success of his father’s business will be his legacy in Lemont. “His impact on the Lemont community will go on for a long time,” he said.

nlurz@shawmedia.com WHEATON – After 13 years operating out of a mall and seven years of planning and development, the DuPage County Family Center has a permanent home. It now shares a $5.6 million facility with the Children’s Advocacy Center, a significant upgrade for the family center, said DuPage County Director of Community Services Mary Keating. The family center mediates disputes, supervises visitations and conducts classes for recently divorced parents. “It was designed specifically for this use,” Keating said. “The original space, while they made it work, was an office space in a strip mall.” The center includes a variety of design features to help families avoid conflict in front of their children during court-appointed visits. Parents can enter from two separate parking lots and entrances. Waiting rooms include games, toys and murals to make parents and children more comfortable. Pairing with the Advocacy Center was a natural fit, Keating said, because both centers

LEMONT – Art Dominick, a longtime resident of Lemont and the owner of Carl’s Septic, died on Oct. 13 at age 75. Friends and family alike remember Dominick for his outgoing personality and sense of humor. Dominick owned his septic tank and system maintenance business in Lemont for 52 years. It remains in the family, with three of his five children working there. Kevin Dominick, Art’s eldest son and general manager for Carl’s Septic, said his father’s death was sudden and the fam-
ily is not sure of the cause. He said Art went to the emergency room the morning of Oct. 12 and passed away the Art Dominick next night. Kevin Dominick said Art had remained active in the office with the service side of the business, even in his later years. “He would have day-to-day contact with just about everybody in the company,” he said. While Kevin Dominick has become the face of the business, he said his father remained the foundation.

Shop at local grocers
LMR Suburban Life • mysuburbanlife.com • Friday, October 25, 2013 • LEM
With the closing of Dominick’s food stores imminent, people in smaller towns like La Grange Park and Brookfield should shop at your local grocer to keep them going. If you don’t have them as a source of sales tax revenue, your town will have severe problems with property taxes and providing services without really hiking the tax dollars. So please, don’t go to the big conglomerates outside your town. You’re just helping them and their union busting.
More important? Did Congressman Roskam tell us he was a Tea Party member prior to the election? And why is it that Ted Cruz of Texas is more important to him than his constituents in Illinois?

On marriage restrictions Each form of discrimination is unique, and the fight for samesex marital equality is not an exception. Passing a law granting equal marriage rights to samesex couples is no more edging towards a slippery slope to an aberrant, disordered, irrational society than the recent repeal of the Parisian law barring women from wearing pants. Perhaps that was considered a bold move toward that ever-threatening “slippery slope” of gender equality. I hardly think homosexuality was responsible for the fall of Rome, and consider a society that discriminates against same-sex couples to be as irrational as ones that historically discriminated against left-handed people, and I proudly called my representative to vote for marital equality.

Hi, I’d like to Sound Off about the signage issue in downtown La Grange. I think it’s very important that all the businesses be able to put up signs and advertise their business. However, I think there needs to be a standard as to the quality of what the signs look like. La Grange is starting to look like a strip mall. And that’s not what La Grange is. La Grange is a charming, historic village. The people in charge of this need to have some type of quality control on what the signs look like so we maintain the charm of downtown La Grange through the signage.
someone thinks is a boundless unlimited financial community resource, and one in which residents opinions are often not solicited before such funds and decisions are made.
Thank you for serving Hi, I’d like to thank Lt. Zeiger of the Westmont Fire Department for 42 years and 10 months of service to our community and the fire department. He retired recently, last month, and we’d like to thank him for all of his service to our community on our paid on-call fire department.

Restaurant reviews
Take a trip to Polynesia at Chef Shangri-La NORTH RIVERSIDE – To say that Chef Shangri-La takes diners to another world is no exaggeration. When my dining companion and I stepped inside the Asian fusion restaurant in North Riverside, we knew immediately the meal would be far from average. The interior décor is immersive, and includes Polynesian statuary, woven graphic bamboo paneling, leafy fronds and colorful paper lanterns. As the hostess greeted us, we were told the venue’s “Island Adventure and Fire Dance Friday,” held the second Friday of each month, was about to begin. Uncertain what to expect, but pleased with the turn of events, we were seated at the restaurant’s communal table and placed our drink orders. When it comes to island cocktails, Chef Shangri-La does not disappoint. There are an abundance of brightly-colored, maraschino-adorned beverages on the menu. I chose a Mai Tai, which balanced the aggressive warmth of rum with cool, citrusy lime juice. My companion boldly selected the Volcano, a fruity concoction featuring rum, raspberry liqueur, cran-raspberry juice and grenadine. The cocktails were excellent, but not for the faint of heart. Weak drinks are not an option there. Unable to select just one appetizer, we placed an order for the combination tray, just as the lights dimmed. Drinks in hand, we settled in to enjoy the show. The dances were lively and upbeat, and had origins in countries such as Samoa, Tahiti, New Zealand and Hawaii. The performers wore colorful clothing, grass skirts and headdresses, while a host guided patrons through various island traditions, occasionally requesting audience participation. Somewhere between Tahiti and Hawaii, our appetizers arrived. Highlights included the teriyaki beef skewers and chicken wings.

For my entree, I ordered the sesame chicken, designated a chef’s signature entree. It included delicately breaded chicken breast, bok choy, pea pods and an overflowing bowl of gravy. The chicken was well-cooked, and the crispy
green pea pods provided complementary crunch. My companion was equally satisfied with the spicy Szechwan beef, served with a colorful pile of peppers and onions and a garnish of roasted peanuts. The portions were heaping, and, as the meal came to a close, everyone at the communal table filled more than one to-go box. The dancers, too, reached the end of the production,

MORE BEARS COVERAGE AT HUBARKUSH.COM
Bears’ D gets a ‘D’ heading into bye week Hub Arkush
The Bears are 4-3 heading into the bye. At this point a year ago, they were 6-1. But it seems a bit of context is called for. The Bears came into this season with a new head coach and staff; new starters at every position on offense but quarterback, running back, one of the receiver spots and center; and four new starters on defense, including the nickel back. Their goal was to see dramatic improvement on offense and in quarterback play while holding the line on defense. Through seven games in 2012, the Bears’ offense was averaging 319.6 yards per game, 124 rushing, 195.6 passing and 31:43 time of possession. On third down, they were 38 for 95, a
40 percent conversion rate. They had scored 185 points on 21 touchdowns, and piled up 51 penalties for 352 yards. This year, they are averaging 367.7 yards per game, 112.9 rushing, 254.9 passing and 29:16 time of possession. They are 30 for 83 on third down, a 36.1 conversion rate. They have scored 213 points on 25 touchdowns and have been called for 31 penalties for 273 yards. Last year after seven games, Jay Cutler was completing 58.1 percent of his passes, had 1,545 yards for a 7.19 average, nine touchdown passes and eight interceptions. He was sacked 25 times for 175 yards lost, and he had a 78.9 passer rating. In 2013, Cutler is completing 64.9 percent of his throws. He has 1,658 yards for a 7.4 average, 12 touchdowns, seven interceptions, only 10 sacks for 71 yards and a 91.7 rating. The offense is significantly improved, and head coach Marc Trestman, offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer and their staff deserve a B+ or A-. Third down efficiency and time
of possession are the only concerns. Unfortunately, the defense is a completely different story. In 2012 through seven games, the defense had allowed 131 first downs. It was 31 for 91 on third down, a 34 percent efficiency rate. It allowed 77.9 yards per game rushing and 238.1 yards per game passing for a total of 316 yards per game. The Bears’ defense piled up 23 sacks for 155 yards in losses, had 16 interceptions and forced 16 fumbles, recovering seven. The unit allowed nine touchdowns and 100 points. This year, the Bears have given up 147 first downs, are 39 of 88 on third downs, a 44.3 percent conversion rate. The defense has given up 117.3 yards per game rushing and 273.7 yards passing for a total of 391 per game. They have only nine sacks for 66 yards, 10 interceptions and have forced 15 fumbles, recovering eight. They’ve allowed 23 touchdowns and 206 points. Having allowed more than twice as many points as a year ago, Trestman, defensive coordinator Mel Tucker and

their staff get a D. All that separates them from an F is the fact that they are somehow 4-3. Unlike the offense, where all the key players have shown improvement, on defense Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman are the only players playing as well or better than they did last year. There is tremendous concern that the playoffs are out of reach, with Cutler and Briggs joining Henry Melton, Nate Collins and D.J. Williams with serious injuries, but that is premature. If Josh McCown can play like he did in Washington until Cutler gets back, and veterans Julius Peppers, Corey Wootton, James Anderson, Jennings and Tillman can play to their abilities, there is hope. With St. Louis, Minnesota, Dallas, Cleveland and Philadelphia still on the schedule, in addition to Baltimore, Detroit and two with the Packers, there are plenty of winnable games left. The biggest questions are how soon can Cutler and Briggs get back, and what will Trestman do until they do?

Top 10 Fantasy Disappointments 10. Maurice Jones-Drew, RB, Jaguars: Aggregate Draft Position: 25/Total Points: 44/Points Per Start: 6.3
fore the injury (14 carries for 77 yards), and there is a possibility that time has caught up with the 10-year veteran.
5. Tom Brady, QB, Patriots: ADP: 27/TP: 92/PPS: 13.1
9. Andre Johnson, WR, Texans: ADP: 31/TP: 54/PPS: 7.7
7. Roddy White, WR, Falcons: ADP: 34/TP: 10/PPS: 2.0
Despite 48 catches and 584 yards, Johnson has failed to score a touchdown. He has suffered from shin problems and bad quarterback play.
Other than Matt Ryan, Atlanta has been a fantasy disaster. White is the disaster’s poster boy. He has the fewest points (8) of any of the first 35 players drafted. White has been dealing with ankle and hamstring issues and was inactive in Week Seven.
8. Chris Johnson, RB, Titans: ADP: 17/TP: 63/PPS: 9.0 Johnson has averaged 30 yards rushing over his past four games, and he does not have a single rushing touchdown this season. He is gaining a paltry 3.2 yards per carry. The only thing keeping him from being higher on the list is the fact that he has two long receiving touchdowns.
6. Steven Jackson, RB, Falcons: ADP: 16/TP: 17/PPS: 8.5 Six weeks is a pretty long time to be out with a hamstring injury, but Jackson hasn’t played since Week Two against St. Louis. He wasn’t lighting the world on fire be-
Would you believe that Eli Manning and Geno Smith have more fantasy points than Brady? It’s true. In fact, 20 quarterbacks have outscored Tom Terrific, which means – unless you play in a 21-team league – Brady should be on your bench.
4. Doug Martin, RB, Buccaneers: ADP: 2/TP: 52/PPS: 8.7 So you drafted Martin with the No. 2 overall pick, eh? Because the “Muscle Hamster” is currently the 88th highest-scorer in fantasy, it’s probably safe to label him a disappointment.
3. Ray Rice, RB, Ravens: ADP: 7/ TP: 45/PPS: 7.5 Traditionally one of fantasy’s more reliable running backs, Rice is averaging just
2.8 yards per carry. He has scored three rushing touchdowns.
2. CJ Spiller, RB, Bills: ADP: 5/TP: 42/PPS: 8.4 Picked second in many drafts, Spiller has been a bust. He has one touchdown and triple that number in fumbles. Not only does he trail 33 running backs in fantasy points, he’s not even the leading fantasy back in Buffalo.
1. Trent Richardson: ADP: 10/TP: 47/PPS: 6.7 Richardson tops the list due to the fact that he has been healthy all year and has disappointed for two teams. He played the first two games of the season with the Browns. He scored no touchdowns and rushed for less than 60 yards in both. Since joining the Colts, he has scored two touchdowns. His best performance came against Jacksonville when he managed just 60 yards on 20 carries.

About halfway into the fantasy season, certain patterns have emerged. It’s becoming clear that several players who were projected to have monster fantasy seasons are not going to live up to their 2013 expectations. Let’s take a look at the top 10 busts and what triggered the disappointing results. About the list: To be considered a Top 10 Fantasy Disappointment, a player must have had an aggregate draft position in the top 35 using the CBS Sports fantasy football website for reference.
In a 12-team league, JonesDrew was likely selected in the late-second or early-third round. It might seem unfair to pick on a guy who is on such a lousy team, but MJD has produced on bad teams in the past. He has only two touchdowns and has not smelled 100 yards all season.

Lemont’s Madeleine McPartland, left, shown during the Indians’ Oct. 4 game against Hillcrest, joined the football team this season after suffering a pair of knee injuries as a soccer player.
She’s the kicker By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT – With the sport she loved taken away because of two ACL injuries, Madeleine McPartland decided to find a new avenue to scratch her competitive itch. It just so happened that it turned out to be football. A soccer player since age 5 who ascended to the varsity team at Lemont as a sophomore, McPartland carried those kicking skills over to the gridiron this fall. “I just missed competing so much,” said McPartland, who tore the ACL in her right knee as a freshman and then blew out the left one five games
into her sophomore soccer season. “I thought, what could I do? Some people said do speech team or student council. Those are awesome programs and I am involved with student council, but they wouldn’t curb my appetite for competition. I found kicking and I Madeleine went for it.” McPartland After getting her first taste of placekicking at a local park with her dad, the next step was running her idea past Lemont football coach Eric Michaelsen. Turns out, it didn’t take much convincing. “I talked to him and he was so

supportive,” the senior said. “And our AD, John Young, his support was amazing. In fact, his entire family was great. It all started from the top and everyone saw how they were accepting me, so nobody had a problem with it.” Michaelsen said McPartland was a welcome addition to the Indians. “She showed up every day and worked as hard or harder than most
of our players,” he said. “She did everything we asked of her. She is tough and she is a hard worker who never takes a day off. ... She is a good football player and an even better person. I’ve enjoyed having her on the team and her teammates enjoyed having her on the team as well.” Also playing a large role in her football career was her family, which includes younger brother Shawn, a sophomore who was on the varsity this fall before tearing his labrum and missing the rest of the season. “It all started with him,” McPartland said. “If he hadn’t wanted me to do it, I wouldn’t have taken that away

Getting their acceptance was a huge part and they’ve been 100 percent supportive.” McPartland’s big break on the football field came in Week 6 against Hillcrest. After Lemont opened the scoring with a touchdown, she heard her

WEEKEND WATCH Lemont at Thornton Fractional South

Players and coaches from Lemont’s varsity football team watch the action from the sidelines during the Oct. 4 home game against Hillcrest. “The effort was there.” The Indians passed for 217 yards and ran for 194 more. Wide receiver Jimmy Kepouros continued his outstanding season with 10 catches for 111 yards. Mike DiSanto added 11 catches for 72 yards and running back Julio Aleman scored the lone touchdown. Marcin Orszulak added field goals of 45 and 32 yards.

She knocked through the ensuing extra point and went on to go a perfect 3-for-3 on PATs in the game. “I had no clue I was kicking,” she said. “Thankfully I had my tee with me. When I got out there, I just told myself to not think about it. I took my steps and it went through. “Kicking those three extra points was the best experience of my life. And it was so rewarding.

summer and every single day at practice. And it kind of validated that I wasn’t just some girl trying to get attention on a football team.” Looking back, the decision couldn’t have turned out any better. “It is definitely the highlight of my senior year so far,” McPartland said, “and possibly of my entire high school experience.” Now as the football season winds down, McPartland will soon have to make an
even tougher decision. If she so chooses, the defender can return to soccer in the spring and be a part of a Lemont team that is looking to make a return trip to the state tournament. “I want to go back,” the senior said, “but I don’t know if that is smart. If I had to have another surgery, I would be so upset. I just don’t know how my body would react to another season of soccer, but I’d like to go back to it. It’s still up in the air.”
When: 7 p.m. Friday Where: 18500 Burnham Ave., Lansing 2013 records: Lemont 3-5 (2-3 SSB); TF South 4-4 (2-3 SSB) Outlook: Lemont finds itself in an unfamiliar position as the Indians will not see their season extended into the playoffs for the first time in 10 years. Their playoff hopes were doused last Friday in a 28-15 loss to South Suburban Blue conference leader Bremen. Instead, the squad will look to end the 2013 season on a high note and take a positive vibe into the offseason. Thornton Fractional South is fighting for a playoff berth after knocking off Thornton Fractional North 14-13 in Week 8. Already with 38 playoff points, a win in this matchup should get the Rebels in. “TF South is a well coached team,” Lemont coach Eric Michaelsen said. “They give you multiple looks and different formations. And defensively, they are aggressive. And they are playing for their playoff lives.”
LEM • Friday, October 25, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • LMR Suburban Life
MIDLOTHIAN – Though this week no doubt had a different vibe to it after Lemont was eliminated from playoff consideration, the Indians want to end 2013 on a strong note in their season finale tonight against Thornton Fractional South. “For this week, we want to win for a lot of different reasons,” coach Eric Michaelsen said. “We want to build momentum for the offseason and we want the seniors to go out with a positive taste in their mouths.” The Indians, who had reached double-digits in victories in each of the past six seasons, will miss the postseason for the first time in 10 years. “It is what it is,” the coach said. “I told the kids, I wish I could have done something to get us to play better.” Lemont reached this point with a 28-15 loss to South Suburban Blue conference leader Bremen last Friday, which dropped the team’s record to 3-5. The game was a microcosm of the entire campaign, with the Indians showing positive signs before ultimately being derailed by costly mistakes. The visitors took an early 12-0 lead, later trailed 14-12 at halftime, and then turned the ball over five times during the final two quarters while having a touchdown called back. “You look at it, we had 411 yards of offense,” said Michaelsen, who refused to use youth and injuries as an excuse for this season’s results.

Lemont volleyball ready for loaded playoff draw
Gawron grabs berth in state tennis tourney
By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com The volleyball postseason for Lemont begins Tuesday, when the Indians square off against Wheaton Warrenville South or Romeoville in a regional semifinal. The goal for Lemont is to survive a tough draw and reach Redbird Arena in Normal, home to the state finals Nov. 15 and 16.
SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA
By virtue of her sectional tournament showing, Lisa Gawron earned the right to represent the Lemont girls tennis team at the IHSA state tournament. The state tourney started yesterday and continues tomorrow at locations throughout the northwest suburbs. The senior finished in fourth place in the singles bracket at last Saturday’s Downers Grove South sectional. Gawron won two matches, the second by a 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 score before losing to Caroline Maltby and Ali Bush in the semifinals and third-place match, respectively. As a team, Lemont came in sixth with 10 points.
BOYS SOCCER Lemont began the postseason with an 8-0 win over Brooks in a regional semifinal match on Tuesday. The Indians will host Tinley Park in the regional championship game at 5 p.m. today.
Lemont Regional: Bolingbrook Sectional: Plainfield South First match: 7 p.m. Tues., Oct. 29, vs. No. 12 Wheaton Warrenville South of No. 21 Romeoville Outlook: Lemont is in the midst of another very successful campaign, having reached 26 wins with a victory over Lincoln-Way West on Monday. Offensively, the Indians are quite balanced and have four players with over 100 kills. Cara Howell checks in with 153 kills, Ali Lund has 151, Kelly FerguSarah Minor – sminor@shawmedia.com son has tallied 146 and Olivia Lemont’s Shae Millinowisch sets the ball against Whittingham checks in with 136.

combined for 521 assists and Haley Sullivan tops the squad with 247 digs. “The season to date is going very well,” Lemont coach Chris Zogata said. “The girls are working hard in the gym and improving everyday.” As for the postseason, as has been the case in recent years, Lemont has a tough draw. Receiving the No. 5 seed at the Plainfield South sectional, the Indians open with either Wheaton Warrenville South or Romeoville. No. 4 seed Waubonsie Valley would most likely await in the regional title match Oct. 31 with the regional champion possibly squaring off against No. 1 seed Benet in a sectional semifinal. Lemont lost to Benet in the sectional final last fall. “We have a tough road in the playoffs,” Zogata said. “We received the fifth seed in the sectional but our sectional is loaded with teams that can beat you on any given day. We will have to be on the top or our game to have a nice playoff run. The girls are looking forward to the challenge.”
GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY Sweeping the top six individual spots, Lemont posted a perfect score of 15 to place first at the South Suburban Blue conference meet on Saturday. Taylor Campos captured the individual title with a time of 18:54, besting teammate and runner-up Claire Gagen by 26 seconds. Gabby Voltarel was third in 19:24 and Lindsey Mazur placed fourth in 19:49. All four are sophomores. Senior Kelly Fritz came through the chute fifth in a time of 20:25 and freshman Bridget Kunkel was sixth in 20:33. Junior Cassidy Nyenhuis rounded out the group in 15th.
BOYS CROSS COUNTRY With Lucas Heatherington posting a top-10 finish, Lemont placed third at the South Suburban Blue conference meet Saturday with a score of 77. Heatherington came in seventh with a time of 17:05.4, and was followed by Chris Konicki in 14th place (17:25). Evan Ganzer was 16th, Andrew Trick crossed the line in 19th and Conner Brandt, Andrew Kramer and Peter DeBiase filled the 21st through 23rd positions, respectively.
Lynn leaves legacy for Lemont girls golfers By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com DECATUR – Bridget Lynn has set the bar high for the Lemont girls golf program after becoming the first individual two-time state qualifier. But the Indians’ senior believes others will soon be joining her. “It was nice to do that,” she said of making state twice, “but I’m looking forward to seeing people on our team now breaking those records. I expect that to be broken as the years come, but it is nice.” Competing in her final high school event over the weekend, Lynn came in 83rd place at the IHSA Class AA tournament at Hickory Point Golf Club with a two-day score of 176. “Last year being a junior, I kind of didn’t expect to get up in the rankings,” Lynn said. “This year, I went into it with a different mentality. Unfortunately, I didn’t perform to my expectations and that was kind

But I can’t do anything about it now, just rededicate myself to improving my swing and my scores.” Despite the slightly disappointing end, the senior was more than pleased with the overall 2013 season. “The last two rounds don’t
dictate who I am as a player,” Lynn said. “This year, I had the lowest rounds I’ve shot. And overall, our team did well. I had great support going into state; all of them texted me. It was such a great team to play with and that was one of the best things from this year.” Her entire four-year career has been memorable. “Overall, the four years have been the greatest years,” Lynn said. “I’ve had great teammates and such a great coach [Bill Mondrella] who supports each player. “It’s really sad to see it end and know I’m not coming back to play for this team. After state, I felt tears in my eyes. It was my last high school match.” Lynn is hoping to continue her athletic career in college and is currently in the process of trying to find the right fit. “I’m trying to get the best education and trying to fit golf into it, too,” she said. “I’m trying to find a good balance.”

FOR A CURE SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA
LEMONT – On Monday, the Lemont girls volleyball team hosted a Volley for the Cure match to raise funds to benefit breast cancer research and to increase awareness about breast cancer. All three levels of the program took part in the festivities by collecting pledges based on the number of kills that the varsity team recorded in their match against Lincoln-Way West. Donations were also taken at the door, and the Indians wore pink jerseys. As for the action on the court, Lemont improved to 26-8 on the fall with a 25-17, 22-25, 25-15 win over the Warriors. Ali Lund led the way with eight kills and Kelly Ferguson and Cara Howell tallied seven kills apiece. Haley Sullivan of Lemont passes the ball during Monday’s match.
