dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The Lemont Village Board approved the Lemont 2030 Comprehensive Plan during its Monday meeting.

It is the first comprehensive plan adopted since 2002.

The village staff has been working on the plan since 2011 and received input from the community through meetings

Setting up an interview

dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The Lemont Fire Protection District is seeking input from about 100 residents to help formulate its strategic plan.

The district is calling its outreach campaign the Vision for Excellence, which involves interviewing public stakeholders to determine how the district can best serve the community.

Administrative Batallion Chief Dave Slivinski, who is leading the project, said the strategic plan is part of a larger accreditation process the district is going through.

He said the district is work-

ing with an outside consultant on developing the strategic plan and will receive assistance from graduate and doctoral students from Benedictine University in conducting the interviews.

Interviews are expected to take about 30 minutes and can

be done in person, over the phone or by email, he said.

Slivinski said the questions will focus on how residents view the fire protection district and what they would like it to be.

“We want to know what they want and we are going to design our service standards around their expectations,” he said.

He said the district will determine if there are services it needs to market better and if there are services it does not need to offer anymore.

Slivinski said he thinks there is a disconnect between the public and the district on what services the district provides.

“Some people think that we are still part-time people that just hang out,” he said. “It has really become a professional organization.”

Besides the emergency fire services, he said the district is responsible for more technical rescue services, such as water and high-angle rope rescues.

Members of the district also are involved in public education for fire prevention and attending community events, he said.

Slivinski said he hopes to have all the interviews completed by mid-December so the district can host a community strategic planning summit in February or March.

However, she said they were not able to afford the searchlight last year, which she thinks may have affected attendance. She said she hopes to be able to bring the searchlight back this year.

Village of Lemont Planning and Economic Development Director Charity Jones said the village puts out promotions encouraging people to shop locally during the holiday season, starting with Small Business Saturday this weekend.

She said shopping in Lemont keeps money in town

through taxes, payroll and other expenses.

Birk said Midnight Madness also is one of the funnest shopping nights of the year.

“Guys kind of hit the bars and the ladies hit the shopping,” she said.

As part of the entertainment, the Old Quarry Middle School choir will travel business to business, singing carols.

For parents wanting to take part, the Nail Inn will offer babysitting.

While some events such as Hometown Holiday bring lots of people to downtown, Birk said Midnight Madness is a bigger sales night because it is an event focused around shopping.

“Hometown Holiday is more a time [parents] are running with the kids,” she said.

“I use that event to pass out the flyers so they know we are having Midnight Madness next weekend.”

LEM • Friday, November 28, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

LEMONT – The businesses in downtown Lemont hope to shine a light – literally – on shopping local during its annual Midnight Madness holiday sales event from 6 p.m. to midnight Dec. 12.

Businesses will stay open late, offering special deals and bringing in vendors as part of their biggest promotion of the holiday shopping season.

Michelle Birk, owner of the Nail Inn and School of Cosmetology and Belle Da Jour Boutique and Salon, took over running the event from the village of Lemont three years ago.

“It’s one of [downtown Lemont businesses’] biggest money-making nights,” she said.

“It’s kind of like our kickoff for the holiday season.”

Birk said one of the icons of the events is a searchlight, signifying to the community that

Will change lead to sensible solutions?

Another election has come and gone and many people have again voted for change. It has been apparent for some time people believe the country is generally moving in the wrong direction and they are frustrated with government.

The rebuilding of trust must begin with both parties working together toward commonsense solutions. People are COMMUNITY hearing the unemployment VOICE rate is falling and the stock Dan market is breaking records, Lipinski but they aren’t seeing more dollars in their pockets. Congress’ top priority must be to promote policies that lead to the creation of more good-paying jobs.

As Illinois’ most senior member on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I know one good move Washington can make is to pass a long-term comprehensive road and transit funding bill. For safety and economic reasons as well as overall quality of life, common sense dictates Republicans and Democrats must compromise on this issue and get it done. We should also work together to reform our tax code, put our fiscal house in order, strengthen Social Security and Medicare and honor our veterans.

While it has been rare in recent years, some of my colleagues have shown the ability to put politics aside for the people. Last year when the federal government shut down for sixteen days, a number of Democrats and Republicans began meeting to find a solution that would reopen government and hopefully make progress on some other issues. We weren’t going to sit on the sidelines.

But members of this group on both sides were told to stop working together. The Republicans were attacked by some of their colleagues and by outside groups for being willing to compromise.

Democrats were attacked because politically the Republican Party was getting hurt by the shutdown and they wanted the pain to continue for Republicans. This is a perfect example of how Washington is broken: outside groups, party leaders and other self-interested politicians only concerned about promoting themselves rather than promoting what is good for the American people.

While some members got scared and took a step back, many of us didn’t back down. We kept working on a solution and finally came up with a plan. A version of that plan passed the House and Senate and reopened the government.

This was only a small victory, but it showed we can work together in a commonsense manner to get things done. In the next year, we will need more of these solution-based approaches in order to begin putting our nation back on the right track.

unsubstantiated accusations of libel, slander, fraud, threats, misrepresentation, financial harm to the institution by degrading its reputation – really everything they could dream up in their thinly veiled threat to sue her for being righteous. This is bullying and intimidation and it’s disgusting.

Vote out the three incumbents this spring and get Dianne McGuire and Chair Erin Birt forced out, by court order if necessary. They are a disgrace to COD and they’ve embarrassed all of us with national attention for their abuses. Let’s restore COD’s – and our own – reputation by replacing the board with more independent voices.

No more D-201 referendum I read a couple weeks ago in a Sound Off about Westmont’s

CUSD 201 referendum. It blew my mind that it was defeated eight months ago at 78 percent. It came back and got defeated again this month, and the school indicated it might try again. Is the referendum going to keep coming back until it wins? Enough is enough. Taxing bodies get one chance, if at all, to choke us out of more money.

A referendum that is voted down should be dead upon all votes counted. If you’re sick of this, go to meetings and voice your opinion.

No more re-referendum.

Speeding on Berkley Ave. I just wanted to reiterate on what someone said about West Avenue and the traffic that happens there. As a resident of Berkley Avenue by St. Charles Road and York High School, we experience the same thing – people drive back and forth really fast at rush hour traffic.

People need to remember that it’s a residential area. It has to be addressed and the police have done nothing about it.

I’m thankful for all the parents and students who make sacrifices to send their children to college to be doctors, engineers, scientists – everything that makes our lives easier today, especially our health. I’m thankful for the wheel – don’t know who invented it, but where would we be without it? I’m thankful for indoor plumbing and drinkable clean water. I’m thankful for air conditioning and heating.

Lemont’s Anthony Martin looks up field for some running room against Peoria Notre Dame High School on Saturday at the 6A semifinal football game. After winning 32-25, Lemont will play Nazareth for the 6A state championship.

Lemont football reaches 6A title one year after three-win season

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The Lemont football team has passed every challenge this fall with flying colors and enters Saturday’s Class 6A state championship game with a perfect 13-0 record.

Once there, the Indians are set to face their biggest test of the season in the form of Nazareth, which has scored 611 points to date.

“They are good, without a doubt they are very good,” Lemont coach Bret Kooi said.

“They are very big, very physical and the scary thing is, they have their share of very talented athletes, too. But you don’t expect anything otherwise at this stage.

Not turning over the football and giving the Roadrunners’ offense extra chances will be key. Last week, St. n WHO: Lemont vs. Nazareth Francis had two early turnn WHAT: Class 6A playoff overs and trailed 28-0 after one game quarter. n WHEN: 1 p.m. Saturday “We will have to take care n WHERE: Memorial Stadium, of the football,” Kooi said. “It’s Champaign very similar to a week ago [a n RECORDS: Lemont 13-0, 35-28 win over Peoria Notre Nazareth 13-0 Dame], they are very good defensively. We have to make sure we capitalize on the opSports to your phone portunities we do have. They are too explosive of an offense Visit shawurl.com/texts to to expect our defense to shut sign up and receive sports scores them down all of the time. We and alerts from Suburban Life. felt that was the same concept last week.”

Lemont last reached the “We know what we are getting into and we are definitely state championship game in excited to be here. Our kids are back-to-back seasons in 2007 and 2008 under previous coach tough and they will bring it.”

Title game matchup

Eric Michaelsen. This time around, the Indians have advanced in Kooi’s first year on the job and after a 3-6 campaign last fall.

“It’s definitely very special,” the long-time coach said.

“No matter when you get the opportunity, it’s special. But for you to start off with a group of guys who you are just getting to know and have the honor to work with, there is no better way to start the ride than this.”

Kooi previously won a pair of state titles in 2002 and 2003 as Lockport’s head coach.

“It’s awesome any time you go,” he said. “To be honest, a lot of times when you talk about it, it’s a humbling experience. Many times I have sat down and thought about the

coaches that I admire and you don’t see some of those guys getting that opportunity. I sort of scratch my head and wonder, why me? What a special opportunity it is.”

After taking over at Lemont last spring after Michaelsen was named the new principal, Kooi immediately got an inkling that a special season was ahead.

“Right when I got the job, the guys were quite clear about making a statement after last year,” Kooi said. “Everyone was hungry and had a chip on their shoulders. When you get into a situation where that passion and hunger is going on, you know you have a chance to accomplish something special. Everyone was on board and working hard.”

Lemont beats Notre Dame to reach first final since 2008

Larry W. Kane - For Shaw Media

Lemont’s head coach Bret Kooi talks to his players Saturday after defeating Peoria Notre Dame 32-25 in the 6A semifinals. ed 85 yards for the tying score.

“The first touchdown obviously was big for them but when we got on offense we knew that we had to respond,” Nagel said. “I didn’t have to do much on that play since the blocks were there. It felt good getting the lead, but we couldn’t get too conservative and had to keep attacking them offensively and bringing it to them defensively, and that’s what we did. I remember watching my brothers playing for state championships so it means a ton to us.”

The Indians moved in front for good on the first play of the second quarter when Marcin Orszulak kicked a 35-yard field goal.

They extended their lead to 16-7 a few minutes later when

Dawson tossed a 17-yard pass to Jamie Glista. And then after an Irish fumble that was recovered by Ian Hinchley at Notre Dame’s 20, Orszulak connected for a 31-yard field goal to increase the lead to 19-7.

Notre Dame looked like it was stopped on downs at Lemont’s 24 shortly before the break, but a roughing the passer penalty kept the drive alive and Demarco Washington scored on a keeper to pull the hosts to within 19-15 at halftime.

“We drove three hours from Lemont on a mission with one thing on our minds, and that was to win, whatever it took and whatever we had to do,” linebacker Hunter LaDuke said.

“In a sense, our defense kind of holds things together and that’s been an advantage. This is un-

“They run the wing-T and we don’t see that often so it was a tough few days of preparation and we tried to just get the kids to just read small,” Howell said.

“We told the kids that we’d lost the last two semifinals we’d been in in tough situations at the end, so I feel for those guys. For our kids, they’ve bought into what we’re doing and they play hard for us. We’ve got one more and know we’ll have our hands full.”

Things didn’t get off to a good start for the Indians as Notre Dame’s Andy Shadid ran up the middle for a 76-yard score on the second play of the game.

But Lemont countered three plays later when Flynn Nagel (11 catches, 176 yards) caught a pass from Ryan Dawson (22 of 29 passing, 273 yards) and explod-

PEORIA – Slowing down a Peoria Notre Dame juggernaut that was averaging 50 points a game and hadn’t scored less than 41 points in any contest was the difficult challenge that faced Lemont in Saturday’s Class 6A semifinal game.

But because of a gutsy defensive performance from coordinator John Howell’s group and another productive showing from the team’s offense, the Indians defeated Peoria Notre Dame 35-28 and headed back to the state finals for the first time since 2008.

Like head coach Bret Kooi – who won two state titles with Lockport – Lemont will be seeking a third state championship after winning in 2007 and 2008.

“Our kids matched them when we had to,” Kooi said.

“We thought that we might get out of the gates a little slow defensively because the double wing takes some time to adjust. But once we did, our kids hunkered down and we kept moving the ball and scoring when we had to.

“Everyone loves the flash of offense, but you hang your hat on a solid defense and it’s helped John to know we can score points.”

Lemont becomes the second team in the 14-year history of the eight-class system to go from 3-6 one season to a 13-0

believable. We’ve been out there every day grinding and this is the result that we get.”

In the third quarter, Nagel scored on a 2-yard run and Alex Bousky kicked a 38-yard field goal for the Irish as the Indians took a 26-18 lead into the final period. Lemont took its biggest lead, 32-18, with 8:31 left when Dawson scored on a 2-yard run.

But the hosts got new life when they converted a fourthand-16 when Washington’s pass bounced off Jacob Hurst and was hauled in by Shadid for a 69-yard gain. Three plays later, Washington ran in from 4 yards out to close the scoring with 2:56 remaining.

After a Shadid pickoff with 1:21 left, Notre Dame got one last series, but Washington’s desperation pass with 13 seconds left was deflected by Jeremy Fejedelem and picked off by Nagel at the Indians 16-yard line.

Jimmy Kepouros caught nine passes for 65 yards while Anthony Martin gained on 50 yards on 14 carries for the Indians.

“When you play a team that’s well coached and has good players, you have to prep really hard and our coaches did a great job of that,” said Matt Martenson, who had a fourth-quarter pickoff. “We knew we had to stop the inside and outside run and did a pretty good job of that.

This was a team effort and we kept going until the end and never gave up.”
