LEMONT – Landmarks Illinois is drawing attention to the former St. Patrick School in Lemont by naming it to its annual list of the 10 most endangered historic places in Illinois. The school, originally called St. James Academy when it was built in 1883, has been vacant since 2003, and the Archdiocese of Chicago has applied with the village of Lemont to demolish the building. Because the building is located in a historic district, it cannot be demolished unless the village gives permission. The Lemont Historic Preservation Commission denied the archdiocese’s request for demolition, and the archdiocese formally appealed the decision to the Lemont Village Board while exploring whether anyone would want to purchase and use the building. Landmarks Illinois is a nonprofit organization that advocates for endangered historical properties in the state. The organization said in a news release that breaches in the roof have allowed water to seep in and deteriorate the interior, but the school’s limestone exterior remains stable. The archdiocese has said the repairs needed to make the building safe would be too costly. Landmarks Illinois President Bonnie McDonald said the organization chose St. Patrick as a preservation priority because it is representative of similar historic properties owned by faith-based communities in the state. “What we try to look for in our listings are things that can be modeled in other cities,” she said. She said her organization will be reaching out to the archdiocese to provide its expertise on alternatives to demolishing the building. “We have listed religious properties several times and have worked to find adaptive reuses for them and have met with some success,” she said. McDonald said there is a sense of urgency to save the former school because of how long it has been vacant. “Every year that goes by that it’s not reused, the cost of that rehabilitation project goes up,” she said.

LEMONT – Families and nature enthusiasts celebrated Earth Day with activities Tuesday outside the Lemont Township Community Center. The all-day event included nature and gardening seminars in the morning and afternoon and family walks and activities in the late afternoon and early evening. There also were displays from local community gardens by I Grow Lemont and River Valley School and a tower garden by Anne Marie Evans. Lemont Township Facilities Director Kathy Henrikson said the township also entered a partnership with the Lemont Junior Women’s Club to help build an outdoor limestone classroom with a fireplace at the Woodland Heritage Sanctuary. She said this is the first phase of adding features to create educational opportunities for field trips, Scouting and other special events. “This is a longtime dream of the township, but with a limited budget it Photos by Erica Benson - ebenson@shawmedia.com has not been possible,” she said in an Amy White of Lemont helps clean up old plants from around the Lemont Community Center on Tuesday during its Earth Day event. email.

6 Volunteers Brad Ludwig (from left) and Kevin and Dave Kaufman empty a trailer of some of the 285 cubic yards of mulch that will provide 16 inches of cushion to the new playground being built Saturday.
Hard work leads to new playground By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – It took two days, but community volunteers were able to build a new playground over the weekend at St. Alphonsus/St. Patrick School in Lemont. Principal Renee Payne said the playground is designed like an obstacle course, including four slides, a zipline, a rock wall and two wobble spheres. Payne said there were about 40 volunteers each day who helped lay the foundation and install drainage before setting up the equipment. Payne said the school had planned to replace its aging playground since
last fall, but having volunteers build it was the idea of a parent, who worked with a maintenance staff member on the project. The volunteer project was not about saving money on construction but giving the community a sense of ownership in the project, according to Payne. “We easily could have had the company come in and put it together,” she said. “But I don’t think that would have the same effect.” On Tuesday, the students began using the playground during recess.

Q&A
By DAN FARNHAM LEMONT – Since retiring, Patricia Camalliere continues to be active with the Lemont Public Library and Lemont Area Historical Society. Now, she also is a published author. Her first book, “The Mystery at Sag Bridge,” is a supernatural mystery set in Lemont. Camalliere feels the timing of the book’s release is good because the theme of motherhood makes it an appropriate Mother’s Day gift. The book is available on Amazon as a paperback and e-book, as well as at Smokey Row Antiques, 112 Stephen St. Camalliere talked with Suburban Life reporter Dan Farnham about the process of writing the book.

get started? Camalliere: I think I always wanted to write since I was
retired, I said, “You know, I don’t really have a lot of time left. If I’m going to do this, I got to do it now.” So, what do I want to write about? Well, I want to write about Lemont because it’s a very special place … My situation was, we have a retired woman. What if she notices little odd things that happen – they’ve happened to her her whole life – and she always tosses them off as unimportant … What if there was a presence behind that? … Then, because
I’m very interested in history and was working here at the historical society, I wanted to also have historical background. Farnham: How much Lemont would a reader recognize in this book? Camalliere: The book is written in two time periods. The book is written as if it’s today, and it goes back to the time period of 1898 … So, as she’s driving down [Archer Avenue], she’s describing what she’s seeing now and what she would have seen in 1898 because it would have looked very different at that time. Someone living in Lemont would know that. There would be some surprises because they may or may not know that there’s a network of tunnels under Lemont … I was hoping to put some things

LEMONT – Seeing drug and alcohol abuse by youths as a problem they could no longer ignore, Lemont community leaders hosted an event called (not)INVINCIBLE April 16 at Lemont High School. The evening started with the Hall of Info, where local organizations promoted activities and services available to area youths. The main event was a series of speeches addressing heroin use by teens and young adults in the suburbs. Terri O’Neill-Borders organized the event in response to four Lemont residents in their 20s who died last fall as a result of drug and alcohol use. “I think the event was an excellent start to something that is going to keep snowballing,” she said. “I’m hoping that it’s going to open some doors and that we will have a lot more events with more people responding.” John Roberts, co-founder of the HERO Foundation, spoke about how his son’s death from a heroin overdose spurred him to action to fight what he called a heroin epidemic. “We have to recognize [heroin use] is not just a crime – it’s a disease,” he said. Lemont Police Chief Marc Maton said heroin use has particularly increased in the collar counties, with young people from the west suburbs traveling to the west side of Chicago to purchase the drug. Maton, who had previously worked in narcotics with the Illinois State Police, said narcotics officers were surprised by the re-emergence of heroin

Historic landmark searches for new name The Blues Brothers, basketball, a junior high and a grocery store might not seem to have a lot in common. However, all of these are somehow tied to the history of Central Athletic Center, located in downtown Wheaton. The historic building, now owned by the Wheaton Park District, has been an architectural and educational icon for the city for more than 90 COMMUNITY years, and now community VOICE members have the chance to Bonnie write a new chapter in the McMaken building’s story by renaming the Park District facility. Central Athletic Center, 500 S. Naperville Road, has adopted many names in its almost century-long history. It opened in the mid-1920s as Wheaton Community High School. Several celebrities have even passed through its educational halls, such as John and Jim Belushi and Watergate journalist Bob Woodward. From 1992 to 2006, the building became Hubble Middle School. The school was named after Edwin Hubble, famous astronomer of orbiting Hubble Space Telescope fame. In 2008, the school was relocated to a new facility in Warrenville, and the old building lay vacant for several years while the school district considered several options for the sale of the building. In 2012, Bradford Equities purchased the old Hubble Middle School property from Community Unit School District 200 for $5 million, and in turn, the Wheaton Park District purchased part of the old Hubble building – the section containing three gymnasiums – from Bradford for $3.25 million. The project retained a 50,000-square-foot section of the former school, which is now home to two full-size basketball courts, four volleyball courts, two batting cages, tumbling area, indoor soccer and lacrosse training area, synthetic turf field, baseball/ softball training areas, and a birthday party room. Outdoors, new multipurpose fields will be completed in 2015 and baseball/ softball fields and a jogging path will be completed in 2016. Mariano’s grocery store comprised the other part of the project, which has brought hundreds of jobs and millions of tax dollars to stimulate the downtown economy. Donated open land that lies in a flood plain also is being used for recreational purposes. Now, the Wheaton Park District is enlisting the help of the community to find name ideas that capture the excitement and tradition that this iconic building exemplifies in our community. Anyone in the community is encouraged to share their fresh name ideas at wheatonparkdistrict.com. The deadline is June 29.

OUR VIEW
SB 1 just another dose of the same bad medicine Some movie sequels we’re delighted to see in theaters, and some seem to have been conceived even though nobody wanted them. The arrival of Illinois Senate Bill 1 this year appears to fall into the latter camp. SB 1 is largely a tweaked version of the previous Legislature’s much-maligned Senate Bill 16, which generated a lot of headlines before meeting its end when it failed to come to a vote in the House. SB 16 would have restructured how funding was distributed around the state based on the neediness of the student populations in each district. Critics said the bill would unfairly take from wealthier districts without boosting overall education funding – DuPage County schools, for instance, were in line to lose $140 million in funding. SB 16’s death was lauded in many corners as a good first step toward real education funding reform. “This is a huge success for the suburban taxpayers who would have been fleeced by the provisions of SB 16,” state Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, said in December. That success appears to have been a fleeting one as SB 1 now rears its ugly head. Like its predecessor, the bill hits west suburban districts disproportionately, with massive reductions in funding. The Illinois State Board of Education has projected what it would do for each district in the state, based on 2014 numbers, and it’s not pretty. For instance: • Lemont District 210 would lose $605,000 of its $846,000 in funding. • District 113A would be forced to give up about $1.1 million of the $1.5 million it got in 2014.
• Community High School District 99 in Downers Grove would give up more than $3 million from the $3.9 million it got in 2014. • Valley View District 365U (which serves Bolingbrook, Romeoville and Downers Grove), on the other hand, would get an $8.8 million boost on top of its $35 million in funding. • The city of Chicago schools would gain more than $267 million in funding, on top of the about $1.3 billion it got for 2014. (Just to be clear, no one would actually give up money they got in 2014; these numbers just apply the proposed formula to what was paid out that year.) “This approach to education funding [in SB 1] is a pure winners/losers scenario, which is not the way that I think we should approach education funding from the state perspective,” state Sen. Chris Nybo, R-Elmhurst, said during a recent visit to the Suburban Life newsroom. Gutting the finances of relatively healthy districts to try to prop up currently underfunded districts is a terrible solution. When the push for SB 16 was in full swing, many legislators and school officials told Suburban Life that some amount of reapportionment was fair, but that the dollar amounts being considered were catastrophic to the areas that would lose money. They still are catastrophic under SB 1. It’s good that school funding formulas are under scrutiny, because the current model is terrible, too. This conversation needs to continue. But this bill does more harm than good, and it should be scrapped.

SOUND OFF After reviewing the village of Lemont’s agendas and minutes, I am confused after reading about a street and bridge tax, a lighting tax and a places for eating tax. Are these new or proposed taxes? Is anyone else concerned?
Please stop wasting the time of pet rescue volunteers. We are volunteers who are not paid, we have jobs, families and we are doing this for the love of the animals that we are trying to find permanent homes for. Do not fill out an application for a pet unless every family member is aware of it. ... You must weigh the pros and cons of rescuing an animal, it is not the thing to do for everybody. ... So please, until you are 100 percent ready to adopt, do not fill out the application.

who promoted the mentality that the money would somehow pay teachers’ pensions rather than facility improvements and security upgrades. I guess you can’t quite figure out what is really important to provide a safe learning environment, which would ultimately enhance your property values. The district and board were diligent, and you were cowards.

What a firestorm [that has resulted from my initial Sound Off], but I stand by my theory. To the parent making tough choices, if you are already struggling to achieve the American Dream, then adding children to the mix won’t be helping your situation. Next, one should never need two incomes to support a family. If you do, you do either need a better paying job or you are living above your means. To the reader that worries about someone dying or becoming disabled, that’s what insurance policies are for ... Whatever your situation, the school system should never be used as a free baby-sitting service.

even more important than that is that Lemont is such a special place that the world should know about it.

Joe King of Physical Therapy Advantage in North Aurora talks with guests Wednesday during the B Fit B Active Expo at Cantigny Park in Wheaton. The event was hosted by the Kane County Chronicle and Suburban Life Media. Chris Leathers on the panel. Anderson stressed that those looking to make a change in their fitness habits need to drop the monthly binge on green detox drinks and make it permanent. “If you have a goal in mind, whether personally, professionally, whatever it is – you have to make a conscious decision that that’s what you want,” Anderson said. “After that, you have to learn what it is going to take today for me to do so that tomorrow I
can be one step closer to that goal.” Properly setting goals was important for reaching them, Giuliano said. When he started his Ironman training in college, he couldn’t even swim the length of a pool, he said. But by creating specific, measurable, realistic and timely goals, he was able to become nationally competitive in the sport. He encourages the same process for all those going through the highs
and lows on their individual journeys. Ketterling said throughout the training experience, it’s important not only to have proper cross-training and form but to listen to your body when it tells you to take a break. Leathers said he encourages people of all ages to start and chase what they want in business and in fitness. “It’s never too late to start,” he said. “And don’t let the fear of failure stop you from achieving your goals.”

WHEATON – Getting fit can be a daunting task for many, whether you have been active before or not. The B Fit B Active Expo, hosted by the Kane County Chronicle and Suburban Life Media, featured a panel of health and fitness experts from around the area discussing ways to help jump-start and sustain a healthy lifestyle. The five professionals covered ways to take care of your body, how to set attainable fitness goals and how to turn a passion for exercise and nutrition into a successful business during the event Wednesday at Cantigny Park in Wheaton. CrossFit trainer and nutritional enthusiast Britt Crow said fitness, no matter the sport or exercise of choice, was about choosing long-term habits, not short-term goals. “It’s finding a fitness routine that’s going to give you something you can do for life,” Crow said. Crow joined Ron Anderson, who started several fitness and medical centers, world-class Ironman competitor and nutritional expert Ryan Giuliano, injury prevention expert and triathlon competitor Dr. Kevan Ketterling and fitness entrepreneur

WHEATON – The location, decor and ambience have changed, but the service and food remain impeccable. Lu’s Sushi & Chinese, which closed its Glen Ellyn doors last summer after the owners lost their lease, opened a Wheaton location in the fall to much fanfare. While patrons of the old Lu’s will notice the restaurant’s email and phone number remain the same even after the move – something the owners kept intact to ensure they would not lose their faithful fan base – the new space provides appealing upgrades. First, the new Town Square Wheaton location offers a cozier experience compared to the former digs. There are about 15 tables in the main dining room, as well as an adjacent private area separated by a string curtain. Asian lanterns hang from the ceiling and the walls are adorned with green leaf prints, consistent with the all-natural theme, which also resonates in the restaurant’s many plants and the ornately carved vegetables turned into flower garnishes that add their visual pop to some main courses. For more culinary drama, the new Lu’s positioned the sushi bar and open kitchen next to the dining area so customers can watch as their Chinese and Japanese meals are prepared. The menu remains extensive, offering Chinese dishes including hand-pulled noodle soups, along with sushi, sashimi and traditional Japanese fare. Beer, wine and sake are part of the full bar’s selections. My date and I arrived about 5 p.m. on a Friday, narrowly beating the happy hour patrons – the restaurant soon became comfortably crowded, which I took as a sign the place has been well-received by both new and old clientele. We were seated immediately and promptly welcomed by our server. Those unfamiliar with Lu’s or Asian cuisine might be a little overwhelmed with the

GAME REPORT RED STARS VS. SEATTLE REIGN FC SAT. APRIL 18
RED STARS: 3
SEATTLE: 2
LMR
Red Stars Earn Dramatic Win Behind Press Magic Chicago, Illinois – Professional women’s soccer outfit Chicago Red Stars opened its National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) season with a bang on Saturday night, defeating defending regular season champions Seattle Reign FC 3-2, courtesy of a dramatic stoppage-time winner by forward Christen Press. The U.S. Women’s National Team star had a standout performance in the victory, as she bagged two goals as well as the assist on teammate Jen Hoy’s first-half tally. After an uneventful opening half hour, Seattle were first to get on the board. U.S. international Megan Rapinoe swung in a corner kick from the right and saw the ball make its way past the outstretched frame of Chicago goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc and to the far post, where it was nodded home by Beverly Yanez. The home side pulled level mere moments later, as Vanessa DiBernardo’s delicate header found its way through to Press and the 26-year-old made it 1-1 with a clinical finish past Reign netminder Hope Solo. Energized by the equalizer, the Red Stars kept pushing and took the lead in the 32nd minute. Press got in behind the Seattle defense once more – this time on an exquisite long pass by defender Taryn Hemmings – and the striker’s low centering ball picked out Hoy at the doorstep for a simple tap-in. The lead was not to last, however, as another Rapinoe corner in the 39th minute saw the ball cleared back out to the midfielder, whose cross in from the right was converted via close-range header
by Kendall Fletcher. Chicago’s Press continued her dominance after the interval. In the 50th minute, she set up a wide open Hemmings in the area, only to see the Colorado native’s low shot comfortably saved by a well-positioned Solo. Three minutes later, Red Stars captain Lori Chalupny released Press one-on-one with the Reign goalkeeper, who used all of her experience and class to defy her national teammate’s attempted fake-out and deny the opportunity. Seattle nearly punished the home side for the missed chances when Karina LeBlanc parried Kim Little’s 63rd-minute stinger wide of the frame for a stunning save. Ten minutes later, the spotlight was back on Reign shot-stopper Solo, who did an excellent job of tipping DiBernardo’s powerful drive around the post. Just when it seemed the Red Stars might have to settle for a draw in their home opener, Press produced a final piece of brilliance to send the home fans into ecstasy. The California native shocked the opposition backline by sprinting on to a bouncing ball and confidently slotting past Solo for the dramatic stoppage-time winner. The Chicago Red Stars hope to make it consecutive wins to start the season when they host superstar Alex Morgan and Portland Thorns FC on April 25. Single-game and season tickets for the 2015 Red Stars campaign may be purchased by visiting www.chicagoredstars.com or by calling 773-698-6001.
