LEMONT – Anticipating a 50 percent reduction in state shared municipal funding, the village of Lemont has planned a fiscal year 2016 operating budget that cuts more than $800,000 in projects that were part of the village’s original budget.

Village Administrator George Schafer said the village has made one-time cuts to the budget that include a reduction in the road program and capital equipment purchases, along with a freeze on any new unfunded staff requests.

Schafer said if the state funding reduction proves to be permanent with the state’s July 1 budget year, the village will assess further cuts to services and programs.

The $25.76 million budget was discussed during the first of two public hearings during Monday’s Lemont Village Board meeting. A second hearing with any other revisions to the budget will be March 23 before it is approved April 13.

“A lot of the things we have in this preliminary budget are one year stop-gap measures.”

Brian Reaves Mayor Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves was critical of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed state budget, which would include reductions in shared municipal funding at Lemont’s State of the Village address March 4 and at recent village board meetings.

Reaves said the village is not yet at the point where it will need to cut services, though he is uncertain what budget reductions the village will have to make in the future.

“A lot of the things we have in this preliminary budget are one year stopgap measures,” he said.

Reaves also said the state still needs to balance its fiscal year 2015 budget, and if the state took municipal funding away for this year, the village would have to dip into its fund balance to make up the money.

LEMONT – It was the morning of Jan. 23, 2013, when Frank Richert’s mother called him to tell him about an unusual scene occurring on Chicago’s South Side.

An abandoned warehouse had caught fire at Ashland Avenue and 38th Street and Chicago firefighters were attempting to put it out in freezing temperatures.

Always looking for a good photo opportunity, Richert grabbed his camera and headed to the scene.

The 32-year-old Lemont resident submitted one of his photos in the Smithsonian magazine’s annual photo contest and has been selected as one of 10 finalists in the Americana category.

Richert works as a manager at Ruth Lake Country Club in Hinsdale, but his passion lies in photography.

He has a website called FMR Photography and takes photos for the country club.

“My camera’s with me at work every single day,” he said. “I travel with the thing every day.”

Most of his photography is of nature and landscapes, which he became in-

terested in after a trip in 2004 to Yellowstone National Park.

Richert said he likes to look at the Smithsonian magazine’s photo of the day on its website and submits a photo for their annual contest each year.

“You never know,” he said. “It could build some publicity for me.”

When Richert arrived on the scene of the warehouse fire, he was amazed at how the water from the hoses froze on the building.

“It made this old warehouse look like an ice castle,” he said. “And just the smoke, the way it was bellowing, it was a really cool scene.”

He submitted his photo to the Smithsonian last spring and was announced as one of the finalists March 4.

His photo is one of 60 finalists overall, selected from more than 26,500 entries from 93 countries.

Photo provided by Frank Richert He has a chance at multiple priz- Lemont resident Frank Richert’s photo of Chicago firefighters putting out a fire on a cold es.

‘Year of the Budget’ needs bipartisan effort The spring legislative session is underway in Springfield.

A new governor is at the helm and optimism is abound in the capitol. The legislature’s single greatest responsibility is its ability to pass a balanced budget. But make no mistake about it – this year will be the “Year of the Budget.”

COMMUNITY Illinois has a strong leader VOICE in Gov. Bruce Rauner. Two Jim months into his term, Gov. Durkin Rauner has presented a bold plan to turn Illinois around, to put Illinoisans back to work, to bring job creators back to Illinois.

Let’s start with fixing our budget. Years of overspending have caused Illinois to build up unsustainable deficits. Illinois’ underfunded pension liability stands at $111 billion, unpaid bills of approximately $8 billion and an unbalanced Fiscal Year 2015 budget of $1.6 billion. Yes folks, I am not mistaken with using the word billion.

For the first time in many years, the legislature will be asked to support a budget which is premised on that same basic notion most of us exercise in our own households; we spend only as much as we bring in. Gov. Rauner has committed to spending $32 billion for FY16 which is the estimate of revenues we anticipate to take into the state treasury. The legislature must work in a bi-partisan manner to determine how to best spend these dollars.

The criticisms are being heard loudly in all regions of our state. Many claim the state cannot run on $32 billion. All you need to do is look back to 2011 where our budget spending was roughly the same. We will and must live within our means beginning now.

Raising taxes again on Illinois families and job creators is not an option. The temporary income tax increase from 2011 was promised to “pay the bills,” “put people back to work,” and “solve the structural deficits.” None of that occurred. Our backlog of bills is staggering, and high unemployment still curses our state.

I implore the majority party to work in good faith with the governor on the 2016 budget. But first we need to solve the FY15 budget. On Jan. 12, 2015, when Gov. Rauner took office, he inherited a $1.6 billion unbalanced budget. The governor and I are prepared to solve the problem, but it needs to be a bipartisan fix. The failure to reach an agreement soon will only further harm our fragile credit rating, discourage investment and further stymie job creation.

In November of 2014, the people of Illinois made it clear that they are starving for change – dramatic change. That change starts with responsible budgeting and spending.

State Rep. Jim Durkin, House Republican leader, represents Illinois’ 82nd District.

OUR VIEW

Don’t balance budget by taking from towns If Gov. Bruce Rauner wants to get local government officials on board with his state budget proposal, he’s got a long way to go.

The state’s finances are in bad shape from years of mismanagement, and Rauner has his work cut out for him if he’s going to fix that. Any solution he proposes is guaranteed to make someone angry.

One of his ideas was to take money from municipal income tax reserves. That part has local officials furious.

“The state’s budget and government crisis shouldn’t be put on the backs of municipalities like the governor’s present budget is put forth,” Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves said.

“I voted for [Rauner]. I understand we need change. But I’m not particularly fond of how he’s going about it at the present time.”

There’s no doubt that the path to a healthy Illinois budget will require some tough to swallow cuts to services somewhere. Comparing a household budget to a government’s fiscal balance sheet isn’t always a good idea, but in one respect it holds true – if you want to get to the point where you’re not spending more than you make, and there’s no immediate prospects David Good, managing editor dgood@shawmedia.com 630-427-6270

for increasing income, then the only option is to cut costs.

That’s true for the average homeowner or business in Lemont, and it’s true for the state, too.

The question then becomes, where can we tolerate those cuts? Local governments have been making tough choices about their budgets for years, certainly since the depths of the 2008 recession at least. The state, on the other hand, largely refused to make tough choices during the Blagojevich years, and arguably made the wrong tough choices during the Quinn years.

We’re going to have to give up things we’d rather not lose. It’s going to hurt, and it’s going to impact people’s lives, and that’s a terrible thing. But to not make those tough choices now is to just delay the inevitable and make things worse for everyone.

Gov. Rauner will continue to have difficult decisions to make, and we don’t envy him the task. But there must be better places to start than by casting an eye at the ledgers of governmental bodies that have already tightened their belts as much as they dare.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Elmhurst city officials are in the final stages of considering the installation of an electronic billboard on the Palmer Drive underpass. Such a sign is visually unpleasant and conflicts with the hometown feel Elmhurst strives to maintain.

Further, an electronic billboard on the underpass presents a safety hazard, as it distracts drivers who are looking overhead instead of at the road in front of them. Please contact your city alderman to voice your opinion on this issue.

To start, my friend ordered the house BHB Honey Girl beer, which is an American Hefeweizen that was tasty and, importantly for a wheat beer, not too sweet. There are several BHB beers, and a fairly wide selection of other craft and domestic brews available

on tap.

For the appetizer, we chose the BHB smothered fries, which feature crispy fries, pulled pork, giardiniera and Monterey Jack cheese. I’m typically quite picky with fries, but these had a coating that captured the desired

agreed the giardiniera could have used more heat, but my friend thought the appetizer was a standout.

Next up, I went with the BHB BBQ pulled pork mac and cheese. Not only is the name a mouthful, but it’s a big portion. Normally, I’m a purist when it comes to mac

and cheese, but the bacon and pulled pork were surprisingly good additions.

First off, the mac and cheese had the proper creaminess, gooeyness and mix of colors to show that there are multiple cheeses at work. Throw in the crispy, crunchy bacon and that would have made for a great meal on its own. The pork was good, again, but the sweet barbecue sauce didn’t quite sync with the savory cheese for my personal taste.

So, I ended up basically eating bacon mac and cheese with a side of pulled pork, and enjoyed both that way.

My friend ordered a salmon BLT sandwich with sweet potato fries and also had positive things to report. The bacon and avocado flavorfully complemented the mild fish to make for another winner.

The menu has a wide variety from barbecue to pasta dishes, seafood, salads, sandwiches and pizza flatbreads, more than deserving of another run around the pub’s culinary bases.

BERWYN – Heading to a restaurant named after one of my childhood heroes was an exciting prospect, and the food at Big Hurt Brewhouse did not disappoint.

Athletes breaking into the restaurant business is nothing new. In many cases, their involvement varies, determining how large a role they play in the success of the enterprise. A big name on the front of the building is nice, but that alone won’t keep a restaurant afloat.

I am pleased to report Frank Thomas was in the building – and left this White Sox fan a bit stunned at the sight of the Hall of Famer. He runs an attractive restaurant/ sports bar that provided my companion and me with good food and drink. A scattering of Frank Thomas memorabilia brings back some cherished memories, capped by an impressive replica of the statue of the slugger displayed at the ballpark.

The pub is on the southwest corner of Cermak Road and Oak Park Avenue in Berwyn, which means tons of eyeballs get to see the bright white lights that say Big Hurt Brewhouse on a daily basis.

Upon entering, my immediate reaction was: “Ooo, this is kind of fancy.” My casual tastes can just as easily be satisfied in a dive bar or a diner, but it does feel good to walk into a place that puts some effort into the ambience.

The pub is housed in a historic bank building, and still sports a vault, as well as the elaborately embellished dome that draws the eye upward like a baseball headed to the stratosphere. It’s definitely fancy enough for a date night but remains a casual sports bar perfect to watch a game with some friends over drinks.

There are enough TVs that you will never have a bad view if you want to catch a game. And the staff the night I visited was on the ball enough to pipe in the audio right at the Blackhawks game’s first faceoff.
