Lemont students join fight against world hunger By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Lemont High School sophomore Olivia Matthews knows her school has a giving spirit. “I feel like once we have a cause, we all have so much passion,” she said. “If we direct that passion into something good, we can do incredible things.” Matthews and fellow sophomore Jenna Molaro are organizing Food Fight, a student-run charitable event to pack meals for starving children around the world. Lemont High School will be the seventh school to participate in Food Fight, joining three Naperville high schools, two Aurora high schools and Downers Grove North High School. The event is run in conjunction with an organization Impact Lives. The students raise money, which Impact Lives uses to purchase food. Then, Im-

pact Lives brings the food to the school, and the students spend a day packing it. Matthews said she and Molaro learned about Food Fight while attending an event at Community Christian Church in Lemont. “They were talking about doing something for society and not being just a stereotypical high schooler, but actually going out and helping the world,” she said. There was a student talking about Food Fight, and Matthews said she and Molaro are interested in ending world hunger. Though the packing event is a year away, the girls have already gotten to work on organizing the event. “The majority of the work has been getting it approved by our administration because, with block schedules, it’s really hard to fit it within our schedule,” Matthews said. She said the school administration was completely on

board when they proposed the event. “They thought it was so cool that high schoolers were asking to help,” she said. “Usually I feel like it’s the teachers that are asking the students to get involved, and this was the high schoolers coming to the teachers asking them to get involved.” Lemont High School assistant principal Dave Clark said he is impressed with the initiative Matthews and Molaro have taken. “I don’t doubt that they will be able to pull it off, but it will be impressive when they do,” he said. Clark said Lemont High School has the right kind of students to make the event succeed. “Our kids step up like none I’ve every seen,” he said. “I’ve talked with other schools, and they don’t have this full student body participation.” Matthews, Molaro and their friends – mostly other

sophomore girls – have already started on the fundraising, with a goal of $5,000. “I’m a very competitive person and I want to pack more meals than all the other schools,” Matthews said. She said they have already raised $2,700 from nine businesses and organizations sponsoring the event: Community Christian Church Lemont, The Patti Group, Front Street Cantina, 1st Advantage Mortgage/Country Financial, Brad Grcevic of

Edward Jones, RTS Inc., Mosquito Squad, Aurora Rose a Unique Boutique and LHS Junior Achievement. They also made $400 from a bake sale. The next fundraising event is Sunday at Front Street Cantina, when 10 percent of all the proceeds will go to Food Fight. Matthews said they are still thinking of fundraisers to do this summer, such as other dinner-related events and car washes. She said the next school year is when they will really start to get the word out to the students about Food Fight. The students who have heard about it have been supportive, she said. “It’s kind of cool because [the Food Fight organizers] think this is going to become a huge thing – like the next Feed Our Starving Children,” she said. “So, it would be awesome to get Lemont on the bandwagon and be trailblazers for it.”

LEMONT – The Lemont Village Board approved four bids during its meeting Monday for construction projects totaling $797,240. Three of the projects are replacing water mains, while the fourth is sidewalk replacement. A two-phase Warner Avenue water main replacement project is expected to start Monday, according to public works director Ralph Pukula. The first phase, which will cost $227,770, is replacing the water main south of Weimer Avenue to Pfeiffer Avenue. The second phase, which costs $202,000, goes from Pfeiffer to Norton Drive. A project to replace the East Street water main at Short Street will start after Warner Avenue project and cost $85,230. Pukula said he hopes the work will be finished on all the water main projects by the Fourth of July. The replacement of sidewalks, driveways and stairways will start in mid-June and is estimated to be finished by the third or fourth week of July, according to village administrator George Schafer. The village received a $250,000 Community Development Block Grant for the project and will pay the remainder of the $282,240 cost. Pukula said the focus will be on replacing hazardous sidewalks. Each bid was lower than the estimated costs, totaling around $100,000 in savings.

Unfinished business The Lemont Village Board approved some items they had discussed at previous meetings. They include: n Issuing a $23,723.50 grant for improvements at the Pollyanna Brewing Company site at 431 Talcott Ave. The money is coming from the Downtown Tax Increment Finance District. n Calling the General Obligation Bonds Series 2005 and restructuring the Alternative Revenue Bonds Series 2012B. By taking advantage of lower interest rates, the village hopes to save $4,135. A public hearing on the issue will be held at the end of June. n Making permanent a restriction of parking on the east side of Eagle Crest Drive adjacent to Centennial Pool from May 1 to Oct. 1.

Autoimmune condition? Living with an autoimmune disorder can afect every part of your life. It keeps you from enjoying the good things in life… time with your kids, grandkids, activities like goling, biking, yard work and gardening. Did you know that leaky gut syndrome is a precursor to an autoimmune disease? Did you know that your gut makes up 80% of your immune system? An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your own body. here is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders, but you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY. My name is Dr. Jefrey E Forzley, with Lemont Natural Healthcare. I am a chiropractic physician and a holistic practitioner. I am passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions. I have been in practice for 28 years. As a holistic practitioner I evaluate the whole body and the many systems of the body, integrate their relationships, manage the underlying cause and use natural methods to manage autoimmune disorders.

Are you sufering with any of these autoimmune disorders? • Hashimotos hroiditis • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Graves Disease • Multiple Sclerosis • Scleroderma • Sjogren’s Syndrome • Type 1 Diabetes • Myasthenia Gravis • Ankylosing Spondylitis • Perniscious Anemia

• Lupus • ALS • Psoriasis • Vasculitis • Celiac Disease • Crohn’s Disease • Addison’s Disease • Urticaria (Hives) • Eczema • Raynauds

Medications are not always the long term answer. Medications can give you temporary relief but they DO NOT ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING CAUSE of your immune imbalance. All medications have side efects. hese side efects can be more detrimental than the original symptoms sometimes.

Did you know that medications to treat autoimmune conditions can WEAKEN your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer? here is a time to use medications but not before a NATURAL way to manage the underlying imbalance. So how do I help people with autoimmune disorders? I use a combination of speciic NEUROLOGICAL protocols and NUTRITION recommendations… Neuro-Metabolic herapy. Your Brain (nervous System) controls all other systems of the body. It controls your immune system. digestive system, endocrine (hormone) system… so if you have an immune system imbalance or autoimmune condition, evaluating and managing the nervous system is required for optimal improvement.

Your immune system. here are 2 parts to the front line defense of your immune system… TH1 (white blood cells) and TH2 (antibody response). hese 2 parts should work in balance together. But when you are sufering from an autoimmune disorder, one part is out of balance (dominant). his leads to an imbalance in TH3 which in turn leads to an autoimmune response.

Testimonials I was diagnosed with Graves Disease (autoimmune thyroid) three years ago. My endocrinologist recommended surgery to remove my thyroid and put me on medication for the rest of my life. I searched for an alternative treatment to save my thyroid and found Dr. Forzley. hrough comprehensive lab testing he found out what was causing my immune system to attack my thyroid. I have been receiving treatments and following his recommendations exactly and my lab numbers are now normal, my endocrinologist is happy, my medication has been reduced in half and I feel better. I highly recommend Dr. Forzley and his natural approach. Samantha R. I sufered from unbearable itching caused by Hives (chronic autoimmune Urticaria) for over 33 years. Steroid medications helped the symptoms temporarily but the side efects were bad. Ater an in-depth blood and metabolic analysis, Dr. Forzley found the cause of my problem. Ater 4-5 months of strictly following his recommendations, my hives are completely gone and I feel great. Cheryl P. If your immune system is not managed properly, your condition can worsen, result in a poor quality of life, cause a shortening of the length of your life and cause other autoimmune disorders. Holistic herapy can manage autoimmune conditions by: 1) inding and balancing the underlying cause. 2) lowering the self destructive efects of the immune system. 3) using natural therapies that work with your body.

I can work with your immune system NATURALLY and balance the TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17. You can never be cured of an autoimmune disorder. BUT, you can get symptom relief and calm down the immune attack on you own body. You must get a detailed immune system evaluation followed by speciic recommendation based on those tests. Guess what stimulates TH1?Vitamin C. But if you are TH1 dominant, Taking vitamin C will WORSEN your immune response. hat’s right worsen. We need to identify which part of your immune system is dominant in order to calm down the immune system. I don’t treat or cure autoimmune disorders. By using speciic neurological and nutritional protocols, I help to decrease your body’s inlammation, detoxify your body, balance TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17 which NATURALLY boosts your immune system. THAT is how I address autoimmune disorders.

minister a nasal spray version of Narcan, a form of the drug naloxone used to fight the effects of opioid overdose. “I didn’t think we would have to use it as quickly as we did because not everybody has been trained,” said Lemont Detective Aras Jonikas, who is responsible for the training. Lemont Police Commander Greg Smith said he is not aware of any other Cook County municipality whose police department is trained to carry Narcan. He said it is only because of Lemont being partially located in DuPage county that they are able to utilize the program. Lemont Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Tim Oflakovich said the department’s paramedics have long been trained in the use of forms of

Helping cut through bureaucratic red tape Throughout the month of May, my office has been hosting senior fairs at various locations in the district. It’s a great opportunity for area seniors to receive assistance from my knowledgeable staff, as well as organizations, agencies and businesses that provide services to seniors. My final senior fair will take place this Monday, May 19, from 10 a.m. to noon, at Moraine Valley Community College, 9000 West College Parkway, in Palos Hills. I know many of you will be unable to attend this free event, so I encourage you to stop by or call one of my district offices year-round, Monday through Friday, to ask for help or to COMMUNITY get your questions answered. VOICE I understand that my role as Dan your representative entails Lipinski more than just my work legislating in Washington, I can also help represent you when you need help cutting through the bureaucratic red tape that can give everyone headaches. I am proud to say that the Third Congressional District has a lot of veterans. I have always made it a priority of my office to fight for those brave individuals that have sacrificed much for our nation. I have a staff member who specifically handles the questions and concerns of veterans in the district. Whether it is an issue with your benefits as a veteran, a problem with obtaining your service records, or if you have earned medals for your service but never received them, we can help. After the long winter, I’ve noticed that many of the American flags in the district have seen better days. According to the U.S. Code, “The flag, when it is in such a condition that is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be retired in a dignified way, preferably by burning.” My offices in Orland Park, Oak Lawn, Chicago, and Lockport will accept worn American flags for proper disposal. For information, call my Chicago office at 312-886-0481. If you’re looking for a replacement, I’m honored that my Washington, D.C., office can help constituents obtain an American flag that’s actually been flown over the U.S. Capitol. Contact the office toll-free at 866-822-5701 to find out more. Please be advised that requests cannot be processed more than one month before the date the flag would need to be flown. If possible, we can accommodate requests for flags that are flown at a specific date or time. My office can provide your first flag free of charge if you are a veteran. Finally, you can stay informed about what’s going on in the district and the nation’s capital by signing up for my email newsletter at www.lipiski.house.gov.

Runners in the Quarryman Challenge run through downtown Lemont.

A race record 686 runners competed in the annual Quarryman Challenge in Lemont. Great weather helped draw the turnout, but let’s not forget all the people who ensure the race is run smoothly through the scenic streets of Lemont. And hopefully, more events like this can be thought up to draw people into town. Good luck to Lemont native Christina Hebding, who was set to leave the states today for Milan, Italy, where a three-month modeling contract is awaiting her. The 20-year-old is another shining example of the success coming out of this community’s youth.

WOODRIDGE – The Woodridge community is assuring 11 families displaced by an apartment complex fire that they aren’t in it alone. Community groups and local residents are stepping up for the families by donating everything from clothing to food to gift cards to laundry services. A fundraising event, launched by the Woodridge Jaycees, also is planned next month. On May 1, a fire ignited from a propane grill swept through the building in the Golf Meadow Estates complex in the 7700 block of Woodward Avenue. All residents – and their pets – escaped the blaze without injury, but it caused catastrophic damage to the 12-unit building, burning up most of the families’ belongings and forcing them to find residence elsewhere. On May 7, community groups, including representatives of the Woodridge Jaycees, gathered in front of the burnt building to rally support for the families by collecting food, clothing and other essentials. The effort has continued in the days following. Mayor Gina Cunningham and other village officials are collecting gift cards that can be brought to Bridgeview Bank. Those who wish to donate are asked to include a message of encouragement for the families as well. Both can be dropped in a container at the bank labeled “Woodridge Fire Families.” Debbi White is a member of the Woodridge Jaycees. She also lives in a neighboring apartment complex building and helped manage the maintenance of the building lost to the fire, a job that had her working close with many of the residents there. “This one hit really close to home for me. I’ve known many of them for a long time. It’s been pretty heart break-

ing,” White said. “Right now, we’re trying to put them in the right direction with the next step. The landlords there were gracious enough to give them back their security deposits, so that is a little bit of a startup for them.” Fire officials said it will be a minimum of six months before the building can be re-opened. The fire caused an estimated $1.5 million in damage. White said more help is needed. That’s why the Jaycees are hosting a spaghetti dinner fundraiser June 7 at Zero Gravity with entry fees and raffles. All proceeds will go back to the families. White added the residents displaced by the fire include five children who are 5 and younger, as well as two special needs children. “Many of them are living with family and friends, but long-term they need to try to keep the children in the same school district,” White said. Cunningham said she’s proud of the way the Woodridge community has stepped up for the displaced residents. “It has been a wonderful outpouring of just kindness and care,” she said Monday. “It shows we want the families to know that the people of Woodridge care about them.”

Suburban Life honors Women of Distinction By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com GLEN ELLYN – Friends, family and community members gathered to honor a Clarendon Hills resident and 11 other influential women at Suburban Life Magazine’s Women of Distinction Awards event May 8 at College of DuPage’s Waterleaf Restaurant. It is the first year Suburban Life has given out the awards, extending a tradition started by Shaw Media and McHenry County Magazine in 2012. Suburban Life solicited nominations from the community for inspiring women who should be honored. The winners were chosen by an outside selection committee. “I can, without a doubt, tell you that we are surrounded by some pretty outstanding women,” Suburban Life Media General Manager Laura Burke said. Each recipient was given a chance to speak about their inspirations and thank those who helped them achieve success.

Leah Gerlach of Carol Stream Distinction: Spectrios Institute of Low Vision and Deicke House rehabilitative counselor, legally blind since birth Quote of note: “I owe a lot of thanks to some very, very special people. Funny enough, many of those people are people who told me ‘I don’t think you can do this.’ Because, if you really want it done, tell me I can’t do it, and I’m going to find a way to do it.”

Theresa Nihill of West Chicago Distinction: Executive director of Metropolitan Family Services DuPage Quote of note: “I am where I am, and who I am, in large part by the people in my life and the relationships that I have.”

Yvonne Agnello-Adams of Lombard Distinction: YDAA & Associates president

Adrian Mary Charniak of Riverside Distinction: Trinity Community Church volunteer

and National Committee of Grandparents for Children’s Rights member Quote of note: “I accept (this honor) not for myself but for the thousands of grandparents across this country that are raising grandchildren.”

Gina Cunningham-Picek of Woodridge Distinction: Mayor of Woodridge and 30-year professional in banking sector Quote of note: “Truly the greatest gift is what we receive when we (volunteer).”

Lisa Drake of Wheaton Distinction: Court Appointed Special Advocates of DuPage executive director Quote of note: “I’ve been able to accomplish a lot in the community, but I haven’t been able to do that by myself.”

Joelyn Kott of Lombard Distinction: The DuPage Community Foundation communications and marketing coordinator Quote of note: “I’m not a president. I’m not a mayor. I didn’t found anything. I’m just me.”

Barbara Matt of Westmont Distinction: Apraxia Connection co-founder Quote of note: “That’s why

we (created the Apraxia Connection). Because it’s passionate to us. And with passion we can spread the love.”

Phyllis Muccianti of Addison Distinction: Packaging Personified co-founder and vice president and Metropolitan Family Services DuPage board member Quote of note: “If you looked in the dictionary next to an ideal board member for Metropolitan Family Services, you’d see Phyllis’ picture,” said Metropolitan Family Services DuPage Board Chairman Gene Malloy, accepting the award for Muccianti.

Jennifer Rosato Perea of Naperville Distinction: Northern Illinois University College of Law dean Quote of note: “I have a 16-year-old daughter, and I’m so glad that she has women of all shapes, sizes, careers that she can look up to, she can admire, she can be like.”

Proposed CASA fee advances By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com A Will County Board committee advanced a proposed $15 court fee May 6 to go toward a group that assists children in the juvenile court system as a result of abuse or neglect. People found guilty of felonies and certain other crimes would be the subject to the $15 fee, which would help fund the Court Appointed Special Advocate of Will County program. The nonprofit, which works with the county court system, could use the funds to hire additional staff and train more community volunteers to represent children. The proposed fee now advances to the Will

County Executive Committee and would ultimately require approval from the full county board. The fee would apply to people who appear in court on a judgment of guilty or a grant of supervision for a felony; a Class A, B, or C misdemeanor; a petty offense; and for a business offense where a court appearance is required. The proposed fee could generate about $50,000 annually and allow the nonprofit to expand its program, said Rita Facchina, executive director for CASA. Facchina said about half the children in Will County who needed assistance through CASA in 2013 received services, and, “Our goal is one day to be serving 100 percent.”

MYSTERY DINER Restaurant reviews

Make it a date night at Adelle’s in Wheaton WHEATON – In the mood for a romantic dining destination? Think Adelle’s in Wheaton, which promises “fine American fare,” and seasons it with sophistication, a mix of price points and superb service. We’d heard recommendations from friends, and quickly understood the allure. Knowledgeable about food and drink, servers collaborate with patrons to discern what they have a taste for and craft an order to match. When we arrived, we looked longingly at the spacious patio, crowned by a pergola and set to sparkle with tiny lights overhead. But the night was chill, and we welcomed the offer of a table indoors near the see-through fireplace, where a straight line of flame played along sculptural, stylized twigs. We suggest choosing a table one row removed from the cozy heat. The lights are dimmed in the evening, when candles add a golden glow to the oak accents. An oversized, curving banquette is deeply recessed off the dining room, and added seating and fireplace await in the attractive lounge past the glass wine cellar. The bar boasts multiple draft taps. Our server steered me to a lovely wine, and explained the range of specials that complemented the regular menu. My dining companion and I warmed up with a wonderful carrot-ginger soup garnished with crispy won-ton strips. The soup’s flavor was well-balanced and the ginger properly understated. We made short shrift of a delectable little loaf of bread paired with whipped butter. The menu offers small plates, elegant salads and entrees such as andouille-crusted scallops, and prosciutto-wrapped pork tenderloin. I couldn’t resist the hoisinglazed duck breast with cherry demi-glace, paired with julienne leeks and pea pods, and purple sticky rice. Now I love rice, but I can’t remem-

More photos online To see more photos from Adelle’s, find this story online at PlanitLife.com/mysterydiner ber the last time I thought “spectacular.” The sweet and nutty characteristics were a perfect complement to rich and juicy medallions of duck in the zesty Asian sauce. My companion enjoyed one of the specials, a large serving of wild Hawaiian opah fish pleasingly meaty in texture, and served with tomato butter sauce, saffron basmati rice, a mix of sauteed zucchini, squash and carrot, and balsamic cream, garnished with a slice of plum tomato bruschetta that popped with fresh flavors like the rest of the dish. Our server told us the patio would soon be flower filled. I can’t wait to return and order the tuna Nicoise, a salad sure to transport me back to a romantic sojourn in Nice, and the French devotion to cooking well. Adelle’s obviously defines American fare broadly, borrowing influences from a multitude of regions. Exploration never tasted so good, and no special occasion is required. Pampering touches abound, including the option of black cloth napkins instead of white for people enamored of staying in the noir-chic moment. Adelle’s notes that dishes change seasonally, and the lounge is home to live music, including 90.9FM WDCB Public Radio’s “Jazz Thursdays.”

boomers Suburban Life media

5 daily tactics to defy aging in 10 minutes or less (BPT) - Determined, vivacious, passionate - a lot of words describe America’s estimated 78 million baby boomers. This spirited group is redefining their golden years, staying active by working, traveling and enjoying the great outdoors. They know that in order to live life to the fullest, they must make their health a priority, and many are dramatically affecting their personal well-being with a few key activities that take 10 minutes or less a day to complete. Tavis Piattoly is a sports dietitian, expert nutritionist and co-founder of My Sports Dietitian. He stresses that small daily activities can have a cumulative effect on health, and therefore encourages baby boomers to consistently stay active and eat well. He suggests five ways boomers can keep their health on track in 10 minutes each day:

1. Quick exercises “Exercise should be enjoyable, so whether it is a brisk walk, strength training or participating in a sport, enjoying what you do will increase your chance of sticking with that activity,” says Piattoly. 2. Nutrient-dense foods It takes only minutes to eat a snack or a meal, and what’s on your plate fuels your overall health. Piattoly recommends starting with an emphasis on fresh fruits and vegetables. 3. Select supplements “Omega-3 fatty acids, especially from fish oil, are beneficial for both brain and cardiovascular health,” Piattoly says, noting that multiple research studies have demonstrated that fish oil supplementation is linked with lower levels of beta-amyloid protein, which may lower your risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

4. Embrace technology Numerous applications for smartphones and tablets make it easy to track your exercise progress, stay motivated and eat healthy. Best of all, most apps are free and only take a few minutes a day to use. “I’m a big fan of MyFitnessPal, a nice fitness and nutrition app where you can track your activity and what you eat. You can visit www.myfitnesspal.com or download the app to your smartphone.” 5. Be social “One of the best things boomers can do is form a social network of friends who enjoy living a healthier lifestyle,” says Piattoly. “Surrounding yourself with active people increases your opportunities for healthy activities. Habits are contagious, so associate with people who enjoy regular exercise.”

Affordable Assisted Lifestyle for Seniors 65 or Older Seniors on Medicaid or who only receive minimum Social Security income can qualify. If you need help to maintain your independence, you may qualify for the Illinois Supportive Living program. The program enables you to... • Live in your own private apartment. • Enjoy companionship of friends and neighbors and the opportunity to participate in social, recreational and educational activities. • Beneﬁt from the availability of three meals a day, housekeeping & laundry service. • Receive the personal assistance you need.

ALCAT blood testing can determine which foods are being recruited to present you with autoimmune disorder symptoms. Glen Ellyn Pharmacy offers 20 levels of ALCAT testing that range from 100 foods for $365.00 up to various packages to the 200 foods and 120 environmental items at $987.50. This price includes a blood dray at your home or work by appointment. These ALCAT tests measure inflammation via the swelling of the white blood cells unlike allergy testing which measure IgE and IgG releases. These allergy reactions are more immediate in nature while the sensitivities are much delayed and often when we eat the highly sensitive foods, we get a serotin release which actually is HAPPY chemical so we feel good when consumed and withdrawal symptoms when we stop so we tend to crave these foods. 95% FOS (fructoolegosaccharides - a prebiotic) and Florajen3 a probiotic taken daily increase the health of our bodies intestinal biome. It is highly linked to all autoimmune disorders as the colon is where much metal excretion takes place. This combination called Synbiotic Therapy is the highest cell cultures at the lowest cost in the market, averaging about 27.00 a month. More information packaged for the average consumer understanding is available at Glen Ellyn Pharmacy. The next connection is the Vitamin D dot. All of these Autoimmune Disorders practically do NOT exist at the equator where the sun angle is providing higher levels of this metal detoxing

vitamin. These disorders start to increase about 32 degrees of latitude as civilizations move further away from the equator or in America about Atlanta, Georgia. At 32 degrees we cannot acquire free vitamin D from the sun all year long. In Chicago we cannot make any from Mid October until mid March. One autoimmune disorder is diabetes and in Northern Finland, Juvenile diabetes is the highest incidence rate. Giving babies 1,000 IU daily at birth and 2,000 IU daily D eliminated 90% of those cases. A rather large cost savings for each prevented case for life. The last DOT is the testing for species and location of mercury in our bodies. We also sell the Mercury-Tri-Test from QuickSilver Scientific. This is a hair, urine and blood test for both the elemental and organic forms of mercury. And connecting these DOTS for Autoimmune Solutions is what I think is going on. These conditions seem to be growing and advancing to more sick people in the population. Causes could start with how we are born and even how our grandmothers were born. Our diet is playing a large role as is the overall condition of our immune systems. Eighty percent of the worlds citizens test below 30 ng/ml of the 25 OH D or the active form of vitamin D while 40 to 60 is considered the new healthy levels. We spend less time in the sun and wearing sun screen is contributing to these below normal levels even in the sunniest parts of the world. These tests are available if paying out of pocket for $65.00. Information also available at Glen Ellyn Pharmacy see Bob Listecki Pharmacist.

It used to be that when people had knee replacement surgery, they were looking to rid themselves from constant pain and continue into their senior years with a relatively sedentary lifestyle. But for boomers, knee surgery means getting more out of life, and the newest forms of knee replacement are allowing them to do just that. There’s a soaring demand for knee replacements from boomers “who want to live life to the fullest,” said Dr. Rajesh Jain, an expert in minimally invasive total hip and knee replacement at Virtua Joint Replacement Institute, Voorhees, N.J. “As the technology has improved, the demand for what people want has, too. “Boomers played harder, worked harder and later and had children later. With knee replacements they don’t want to compromise. They want quality of life in addition to being free from pain.” Unlike their parents who retired and took it easy, boomers “want to get it (knee replacement) done and get back to work. People are much more active now than they were a generation ago,” Jain said. “They hike. They ski. They have second careers.”

www.lyrichearing.com adno=S0245319

Advances in minimally invasive knee surgery have optimized the procedure so that it has become a much less traumatic surgery, said orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Stiehl, who is in solo practice in southern Illinois. “For anyone over 50, a knee replacement should last them 25 years,” Stiehl said. While 70 to 80 percent of people still opt for the more traditional surgery, Jain said, minimally invasive knee replacement uses a smaller incision and less cutting of the tissue surrounding the knee. The goal is the same in both surgeries, but with minimally invasive surgery the surgeon avoids cutting into the tendons of the quadricep, where much of the power of the knee comes from. The quadricep is the part of the knee responsible for bending the hip and straightening the knee. “Studies have found that strength (in the knee) returns quicker” with

minimally invasive surgery and also lasts longer, Jain said. “You’ll have more strength and a quicker return to function. You’re doing less damage with a shorter incision, but you’re getting the same results. There’s less pain, not as big a scar, less blood loss and the range of motion returns faster.” Another plus for this kind of surgery is a shorter hospital stay, Stiehl said. “Typically a patient is up on their feet that night (same day of surgery), walking the next day and out (of the hospital) within two days,” Stiehl said.

Who can benefit The typical candidate for knee surgery has changed over time, with younger people now seeking replacements. “Age is no longer a criteria. The criteria is quality of life,” Jain said. “Knee replacement is an elective procedure, and it’s something to think about when a person cannot do the things he likes to do. When other nonsurgical, noninvasive treatments don’t help or when the pain begins to affect your life negatively, it’s time to consult a surgeon.” There are a few drawbacks to minimally invasive surgery, which has been compared to repairing a car engine via the muffler rather than opening the hood. Because it is a difficult procedure, “be sure to use a surgeon who is an expert in the field,” Stiehl said. “It’s a big operation.” It is not suggested for patients who are heavy-set or very muscular, have severe knee instability or deformity, or require a more complex replacement.

One goal By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT – With the Class 2A playoffs on the horizon, the recent inconsistent play at times by Lemont’s girls soccer team has head coach Rick Prangen a tad nervous. “We’ve had two tournament weekends and we didn’t play particularly well,” Prangen said. “We haven’t been consistent, which is a little bit of a cause of concern for me. “We are fine but I’d like to get back on track a little bit. I thought we were playing at a better level last year going into the playoffs than we are now, but we will see.” A year ago, the Indians brought home a fourth-place state trophy. This spring, the Indians operated with the clear goal of making it to the state semifinals in back-to-back seasons, something that to date has escaped the program. So far it has been an every-other-year occurrence, with Lemont the runner-up in 2009 before coming in third in 2011. The Indians have the pieces in place to make another run, led by leading scorer and Northwestern-recruit Kim Jerantowski. The senior, who scored four times against Bremen this spring and had hat tricks against Eisenhower and Evergreen Park, has 19 goals on the season. Forward Aleksandra Mihailovic (13 goals, eight assists) gives the squad a potentially potent one-two offensive punch while Lauren Lumsden, Carli Bermele and Maddy Bermele are also threats around the goal. “In terms of offensive production, it’s been hit or miss,” Prangen said. “We’ve had spots of good play and then moments of inconsistency. Now we haven’t been outclassed by anybody this year, just moments of inconsistent play. At times,

we’ve been overly reliant on Kim and we’ve become one-dimensional in nature.” Lemont has been strong on the defensive end, with veteran goalie Kelly Fritz spearheading that unit. The senior has 15 shutouts on the spring. The Indians dropped only their second match of the year on Saturday, falling 2-0 against Hinsdale South in the semifinals of the Lemont Cup, dropping them to 16-2-2. Lemont did clinch at least a share of the South Suburban Conference title with a 1-0 decision against Tinley Park on May 7. With their outstanding record, Lemont was rewarded with the No. 1 seed in the Lincoln-Way West sectional. The Indians are hosting a regional and with a victory in their playoff opener, would see either No. 8 Washington or No. 9 Crete-Monee in the regional title match on May 23. Rounding out the top five sectionals seeds are Lincoln-Way West, Tinley Park, Providence and Joliet Catholic. A year ago, Lemont knocked off JCA 3-1 in the sectional semifinals before defeating Marian Catholic 2-0 in the sectional championship. “The top four or five are certainly decent sides and you have to play well to win,” Prangen said. “With us going through it last year, we are the Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com team to beat and there is extra motivation for the other teams Lemont’s Lindsey Mazur (right) battles with Downers Grove North’s Sarah Costello for control of the ball to beat us.

Rising stars emerge for Lemont baseball, softball By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com

Lemont first baseman Jake Terrazas (right) waits for the ball before tagging out Lincoln-Way West’s Zach Speaker during a May 3 game. Thanks in part to that win, Lemont earned a top playoff seed.

Lemont earns No. 1 playoff seed By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Lemont’s baseball team checked off one of its big goals on Tuesday when the IHSA announced that the Indians had received the top seed at the loaded Class 3A Joliet Catholic regional. But the squad knows there is still a lot of work to be done. “It’s been a goal of ours from the beginning of the season to get the No. 1 seed,” Lemont coach Brian Storako said. “No matter how the regional or sectional sets up, the kids have earned that and it has put us in a position to succeed. “But whether you are the one, two, three or four seed, you are going to have to play some tough competition. There are no guarantees.” Indeed, the strength of the five-team regional is shown by the fact that No. 4 Oak Forest has already reached the

In fact, Oak Forest handed Lemont its first conference loss on Monday with a 4-2 decision. The Indians led 2-1 until the sixth inning when the visitors plated three runs. Charlie Wright started and allowed just four hits in 51/3 innings. “Charlie struggled a little bit with his control at times,”

Storako said, “but when he made a good pitch, we didn’t make a play. That stuff happens, it’s baseball.” Even with the defeat, Lemont held a two-game lead in the conference race. The two teams are set to square off again today in a rescheduled contest. That game is a part of a busy final stretch of the regular season for the Indians, who are schedule to play seven times over the next nine days. Included in that is the completion of the Stevie’s Way Tournament, which includes highly-ranked St. Rita, St. Laurence, Providence and Joliet Catholic. “I want our guys to improve and get better every day,” Storako said. “We are going to be facing tough competition to finish. I want to see how we react against the big dogs in the state, see how we match up against the top 4A teams.”

Every spring offers a chance for baseball and softball players to impact their teams more than they ever have before. Lemont’s Garrett Acton and Maddy Vermejan are two players having breakout seasons on the diamond.

Garrett Acton School: Lemont Sport: Baseball Class: Sophomore Position: Pitcher Impact: Called up to the varsity to begin the season, this sophomore has become an important cog in a deep and talented pitching staff. Already throwing with velocity in the low to mid-80s, Acton has a record of 4-1 on the spring with one save. He has allowed 34

hits and 11 earned runs in 36 innings of work while striking out 29 batters.

Maddy Vermejan School: Lemont Sport: Softball Class: Sophomore Position: Second base Impact: This is the second season on the varsity for the sophomore, but this season she has taken her game to another level and has become a dominant offensive force for the Indians. Batting .541 through 25 games this spring, Vermejan has knocked out 13 doubles, five triples and eight home runs. The second baseman has scored a team-high 44 runs while driving in 36, and she has only struck out only two times in 85 at-bats. She also played solid defense, making just three errors on the season as of Tuesday.

Zoology is the science of studying animals, and the zoo takes its name from that ield of study — it’s a place where you can see animals, up close and in person, and where scientists and zoologists can study animals while they are in captivity. Zoos have been around for a long time, as people from many different cultures throughout the world have long been curious to see wild animals up close, and to study them. Zoos let us see for ourselves what elephants look like when they sleep, or how gorillas use their hands to eat. It may be too dangerous to get 15 feet away from a tiger in the wild, but it’s much safer to see

that tiger taking a cat nap at the zoo. Today, zoos are centers of science and study of animals, including some endangered species. Although the ideal place for many animals to live is in their natural habitats, Zoos allow scientists to conduct studies of species they might not be able to see in the wild, and also provide a valuable way for kids like you to see animals in person and learn from watching them. Next time you go to the zoo, come armed with questions about the habitat of the animals, what they eat, where they are from, what they like to do when they play, how they birth their young and how long they live. Who knows — you might learn something!

Electric Aggregation The electric supply rate for residence being supplied by ComEd will be increasing effective June 1 to 7.596 cents/ kWh. However, residents that are enrolled with FirstEnergy Solutions through the Village of Lemont’s plan will continue to see savings with a contracted rate at 4.83 cents/kWh. Residents will continue to receive this savings through the contract term, which will expire this October. If a resident did not initially take advantage of this offer, they are able to enroll through the rest of the contract term by contacting FirstEnergy Solutions directly at 866-636-3749. In the spring of 2012, the Village of Lemont joined with 15 other Will County communities to form the Will County Governmental Electric Aggregation Group (WEAG) to achieve better rates for residents. Mayor Reaves, who serves as the Committee Chair, stated that negotiations will begin this summer for a new fixed rate contract with an electrical supplier, and it is expected that we will continue to see a savings over the ComEd electricity supply rate.
