Boyd is one of a select group of teachers serving as Nautilus Ambassadors aboard the ship. The ship’s crew is studying marine biology in Erin Boyd the Gulf of Mexico. The ambassador program is sponsored by Citgo, which has a refinery in Lemont. During a May 18 video conference with Lemont High School students and Citgo employees, Boyd explained her experience on the expedition.

Though she has not yet spotted the sperm whale she was hoping to see, she said she has observed jellyfish, mussels and sea cucumbers. In her off time, she gets to explore the ship and talk to the scientists on board. Boyd said she was able to learn a lot while on board and she hopes to be able to share her experience with her students when she gets back. As a physics and chemistry teacher, she said she was initially concerned most of the science on the expedition would be biology.

ON THE COVER

al kinds of scientific expertise needed aboard the ship. “Once I realized there was an opportunity that my knowledge could be useful, I was definitely all in,” she said. She said she has been collaborating with other teachers on the expedition to figure out how to work what they have learned into their students’ future lesson plans. For instance, she said she has gotten to work with robotics, which she wants to be able to apply in her lessons. Boyd said she will start sharing her experience by putting together a presentation for her students. Because she will not be returning to school until the students are taking their final exams, she said she might not be able to make the presentation until next school year. However, she said she plans to add what she learned aboard the Nautilus to her curriculum. “The life experience I have here will affect not only me, but the thousands of kids that I teach over my career,” she said.

According to media reports, he was charged with theft because he was carrying two IDs of people older than 21.

District 113A looks back on a great year It is hard to believe that we are quickly approaching the end of the school year. Looking back at the year, the district is proud of its many accomplishments. As you know, at the beginning of the year, the district was taken off of the state’s financial watch, and later in the year, we received financial recognition with a perfect 4.0 financial profile score. We COMMUNITY are very proud of this recogVOICE nition and continue to assess Courtney the financial picture of the Orzel district while watching news out of Springfield. Additionally, we have increased our community outreach and communication this year by launching a district Facebook page, and staff are highlighting exciting classroom events on Twitter. As part of our comprehensive communications plan, we will be launching our new website this summer, and we are also in the process of rebranding the district with new school and district logos. Our principals have also published regular press releases about the amazing learning opportunities in our schools, and our Board of Education has recently identified the Core Values which represent what the district values in the education of our students. Perhaps one of the most successful initiatives this year has been the infusion of new technology into our learning environments. Students in every grade are creating, collaborating and engaging in real-world problem solving through the new technology that is in classrooms. It is exciting to see the resources at children’s fingertips as a result of increased accessibility to devices. Looking ahead, we have many exciting events in the weeks to come such as field days and other end of the year celebratory activities. Our incoming sixth-graders and their parents are invited to Sixth Grade Orientation evening to be hosted by new principal, Mr. Billingsley, on May 26. Also, our eighth-graders participate in a variety of activities including the eighth-grade dance, eighth-grade boat trip and the graduation ceremony. Our eighth-grade promotional ceremony will be June 4. Graduation always provides us with an opportunity to reflect on the past and look ahead to the excitement of entering high school. We are proud of our graduates and thank our eighth-grade families for their partnership over the years. We are proud of the work that our students and staff have done this year, and we thank our community for its continued support of our schools.

Courtney Orzel is superintendent of schools at District 113A.

OUR VIEW

Railway oil tanker concerns need to be taken seriously We spend a lot of time worrying about preventing things that might never happen. We buy homeowners’ insurance and install smoke detectors in case a fire ever breaks out. We grab an umbrella on the way out the door in case it rains. We arrange for our first responders to have training in all sorts of emergency situations, in case anyone in our community should ever experience such a calamity. The thing is, we never really know how likely any of these things are. Most of us know someone who has dealt with a house fire, but most people don’t have their house burn down. There was rain in the forecast for this past Sunday, but barely a drop was seen. Some first responders get special training in case of a train derailment of an oil shipment, but that almost never – Well, that last one isn’t quite as true as it used to be. While train derailments are still quite rare, the number of oil shipments on our railways has skyrocketed – and there have been some unsettling derailments of those shipments in North America. In 2008, there were 9,500 railway oil shipments recorded in the U.S.; by 2013, that number had risen to 435,000, according to a Congressional report. That massive spike has been accompanied this year by derailments in West Virginia and Ontario and one in March in Galena, Ill. Fortunately, there have been no deaths in these incidents, but the same can’t be said for the village of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, in Canada, which suffered 47 deaths after a derailment and explosion in 2013. Many of these oil tankers are rumbling through Chicago’s suburbs on a daily basis, including on Metra’s BNSF, Union Pacific West and Heritage Corridor lines. Riverside Police Chief Tom Weitzel, who’s eager to bring more attention to this issue, has heard reports that there are about 40 shipments going through his village on a weekly basis. As Weitzel points out, most of the communities in western Cook and DuPage counties were built around their rail lines, with vibrant

commercial districts nestled right up to the tracks. If an incident like what happened in Quebec were to occur here, the toll could be catastrophic. Weitzel has worked to bring attention not only to this risk but to the lack of training available for local police officers, who would likely be the first to respond to the scene of any such accident. He’s sent letters to Gov. Bruce Rauner and to Anthony Foxx, secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation, pointing out the difficulties local agencies have in getting information on when exactly such tankers are passing through and in getting training for officers. Such training already exists, Weitzel said, and there are programs in place to allow firefighters to make use of it. But he said the cost, distance and lengthy waiting list make it impractical for him to send any officers right now. Thus far, Weitzel has received no response from his letters. He’s had informal discussions with other state and federal officials and received nothing more than vague promises, or protestations that he’s overstating the issue, that the train cars that pass through our area aren’t going fast enough to derail or real-time information on the tankers can’t be shared for fear of terrorists intercepting and then misusing the information. It’s easy to dismiss Weitzel’s concerns. But it seems like every disaster of the past 20 years has had some sort of warning ignored, whether it was 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill ... the list goes on. Are the odds of an oil tanker derailment and explosion in our area high? Probably not. But knowing there’s a lot more oil flowing through our towns on a regular basis, it sure would be comforting to know someone is taking these concerns seriously. We’d like to see state and especially federal officials take more steps to ease everyone’s minds that everything possible is being done to prevent another Lac-Mégantic incident.

Someone needs to fix health clubs’ cancellation policies. No matter how much of a notice you give, you still wind up paying for the extra month.

To the person who said to stop shooing people away from shelter animals, we are not shooing people away who are ready to adopt an animal, a family pet. We don’t want the people who are coming for something to do because they clog up the shelter like a zoo. We want the people that are 100-percent ready to adopt; anybody else can see the animals on our website. And in regards to the rescues that do not have a brick-andmortar building, those people have the most limited time to spend adopting an animal out because they do not have a physical shelter. Their animals are at vet offices or foster homes. So, until you are 100-percent ready to adopt and see an animal, don’t fill out an application.

Woman overcomes obstacles to lose weight through Lemont TOPS By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – In less than two years, Jeanne Roberts has gone from thinking she would never be able to lose weight to being one of the most successful members of the Take Off Pounds Sensibly organization in the state. The 49-year-old Lockport resident, who attends TOPS meetings in Lemont, was honored by TOPS in April for losing the most weight of anyone in the state in her weight division during 2014. She achieved her weight loss despite injury-related physical disabilities that prevented her from doing intensive exercise. “I thought I absolutely could not [lose weight],” she said. “I felt like there was nothing I could do. I could not walk. I could not stand.”

In 2008, Roberts was involved in a crash with a drunk driver that caused neck and back injuries and left Jeanne her physically Roberts disabled. She said the chronic pain from her injuries made her inactive and depressed. She started eating more and gaining weight. Her weight gain made her more depressed, which led to more eating, she said. In 2013, her husband died, and she decided to move with her daughter into her mother’s home in Lockport. Roberts’ mother was able to convince her to attend one of her TOPS meetings in Lemont, though Roberts was not confident she could lose any weight. With exercise not being

She said her weekly weighins and meetings helped motivate her because she felt she was accountable to the other TOPS members. When she joined TOPS on Oct. 31, 2013, she weighed 212 pounds. By the end of the year, she had dropped to below 200 pounds. “Each week that I went and

weighed in and that weight came down on that scale, everything tied in with, ‘Gee, I can do this,’” she said. “I wanted that feeling again each week.” Nine months after she started, she was able to reach her goal weight of 145, which is about what she weighed before her weight gain. She said the key was setting small, attainable weight-loss goals for herself, instead of being concerned about losing all the weight at once. She graduated from Keeping Off Pounds Sensibly and now works to encourage new TOPS members. Though Roberts continues to deal with pain from her disabilities and a growing list of physical conditions resulting from it, she said her weight loss has improved her mobility. “I’m leaps and bounds from where I was,” she said.

She hopes to be able to improve her physical condition enough to return to her career in psychotherapy. She said she has also improved her self image. Instead of a negative cycle of overeating, weight gain and depression, she has developed a positive cycle of healthy eating, weight loss and confidence. “The better I felt about myself, the more I wanted to lose the weight,” she said. “I was coming to like myself.” Roberts said the awards she received from TOPS helped realize how much she has accomplished. It also motivates her to keep her weight stable. “To me that was the ultimate accountability to have these titles,” she said. “[Gaining back the weight] would be so devastating to those people who want to be where you are.”

RED STARS: 2

DASH: 2

Huerta Magic Earns Red Stars Comeback Draw at Houston Rookie records second consecutive brace Chicago, Illinois – The Chicago Red Stars stayed undefeated in their fifth NWSL regular season game on Friday, fighting back from two goals down against hosts Houston Dash, courtesy of a second consecutive brace by reigning NWSL Player of the Week Sofia Huerta. The rookie bagged both of her tallies in the second half, including the first immediately after Houston had doubled its lead courtesy of a Kealia Ohai strike. Rachel Axon had scored the day’s opening goal for the Dash on an opening-half penalty kick. The hosts created the first promising opportunity in the 10th minute, Jen LaPonte hitting a long ball into the penalty area and Brittany Bock beating netminder Michele Dalton to the ball, only to see her headed redirect float just over the frame. The Dash had another quality look 14 minutes later, as Chicago’s New Zealand international Abby Erceg headed the ball out to Tiffany McCarty at the edge of the box and the 24-year-old fired through traffic to force a solid stop from Dalton. Houston did find the net just before the half-hour mark. Red Stars defender Arin Gilliland’s desperation tackle brought Ohai to the ground inside the area and Rachael Axon opened the scoring by side-footing a textbook penalty kick inside the right post. Huerta first knocked on the Dash door in the 41st minute of the match, as she received the ball at the top of the box and cut across a defender to her left before rifling a left-footed blast toward goal that was parried wide by diving opposition goalkeeper Bianca Henninger. Chicago increased the urgency after the break and created two close looks in quick succession. In the 56th minute, Alyssa Mautz crossed the ball in from the right and a wide-open Rachel Quon pushed the ball wide for an agonizing miss from the doorstep. Mautz sent in another dangerous cross from the same flank moments later, and Vanessa DiBernardo redirected it to Hoy at the far post, followed by a toe poke under pressure that

sent the ball sailing over the bar from close range. Instead of seeing the scores leveled, the fans at Houston’s BBVA Compass Stadium celebrated the Dash’s second tally on an excellent counter attack just before the hour mark. Having won possession inside their own penalty area, the hosts played the ball out to Melissa Henderson near the center circle, and the 25-year-old sprinted into the opposition half before releasing a streaking Ohai. The second-year attacker did well to confidently slot her finish underneath the onrushing Dalton to double her side’s lead. The Red Stars promptly responded to the additional setback. Hoy’s delicate 60th-minute touch put Hoy through on the right side of the box and the first-year forward found the net with a wellplaced shot toward the far post. The visitors continued to put pressure on the Dash following the goal, and Mautz nearly added the icing on her strong individual performance with a 68th-minute equalizer, the Houston defense scrambling to clear the Missouri native’s redirect of Danielle Colaprico’s corner kick from the left off the line. Chicago’s relentlessness finally paid off in the 81st minute, Gilliland sending a ball into the penalty area that substitute Cara Walls laid off to Huerta, who displayed some outstanding footwork in cutting to her left and blasting a low shot past the outstretched arm of metminder Henninger. It would be the final noteworthy moment of the match, as the visitors remained at the top of the NWSL table with a hard-earned point on the road. The Chicago Red Stars look to earn their fourth win in six regular season games when they travel to take on defending champions FC Kansas City on Saturday, May 23.

where to begin in describing this dish, but let me put it this way: Our chit-chat came to a sudden halt, and we sat silently enjoying every bite. Hands down of course, the chicken is the hero of the meal. Never frozen, the meat is marinated for 24 hours and cooked to order. According to the restaurant’s website, the recipe dates back to two female farm owners who sold chickens to the original spot when it was just a gas station with a lunch counter around the 1940s. Dell Rhea took over the Chicken Basket in 1963, and what endures is the carefully crafted, breaded and deep-fried meal – a crunchy, tender, lip-smacking and succulent sensation. The baked mac and cheese is a hearty complementary dish to the main course. Tiny elbow macaroni are smothered in what the eatery describes as a “Colorado River of Cheese Sauce,” topped with shredded cheeses and baked until golden brown. The restaurant menu extends to sandwiches, ribs, salad bar, soups and seafood, plus prime rib, roast turkey and other specials on various days of the week.

WILLOWBROOK – Dell Rhea’s Chicken Basket is tucked among small, one-story buildings and a few chain hotels on a dusty, winding road that once reigned as Route 66. Today, the towering neon marquee of the Willowbrook establishment enjoys a quieter perch. Inside tells a different story. Clusters of relatives and favorite friends are gathered around small tables draped in red-andwhite-checkered tablecloths. A darker shade of patterned red curtains flanks the windows. Ceramic chickens, framed newspaper articles and photographs fill in the spaces of sporadically placed shelves and countertops. A small fireplace stands flat against the wall on the far end of the dining room. The room feels familiar. It feels like home. And there’s no denying that the 66-plus-yearold restaurant has greeted passersby throughout the decades, treated them like family and wished them well on the way to their destinations. As for the Chicken Basket, it arrived in the Route 66 Hall of Fame. As my parents and I took our seats and scanned the menu, we adopted the rhythm of the nostalgic room, swapping smiles and stories. Importantly, we prepped ourselves for the beginning of our comfort food adventure. We began our meal with appetizers we consider classic – fried chicken liver and gizzards. The tasty starters were served with sweet-and-spicy barbecue sauce. What’s noteworthy about them is their flaky coating, especially the chicken gizzards. Both were crispy, moist and lightly seasoned – neither bogged down by a dry outer crust nor drowning in oil. Our appetizers were followed shortly by two of Dell Rhea’s specialties – its famous fried chicken in a basket and baked mac and cheese. The basket comes with four, finger-licking pieces of chicken (leg, wing, breast and thigh), shoestring french fries, homemade coleslaw and baked biscuits. I don’t even know

The only mistake my parents and I made that Sunday afternoon was not saving room for dessert. And for those who know me and my mother best, the only way to our hearts is a classic root beer float. Dell Rhea’s, which also proposes a Route 66 Dreamsicle Float and a slice of apple, key lime or cherry pie, keeps in mind that the best way to truly start and end a meal is with the company you keep, savoring the time you spend together.

Competing at the challenging Class 3A Downers Grove North sectional meet May 14, the Lemont girls track and field team had a pair of individuals qualify for the IHSA state meet. Jacque Desmond qualified in the pole vault after clearing a height of 10 feet, which put her in second place. Joining her for the state meet May 22 and 23 at Eastern Illinois University is Taylor Campos, who crossed the line in fourth place in the 3,200-meter race and advanced courtesy of her time of 11:14.92. As a team, the Indians placed 11th.

Lemont hopes success carries over to postseason

LMR Suburban Life • mysuburbanlife.com • Friday, May 22, 2015 • LEM

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA High school softball teams are about to start the postseason with one goal in mind – get to the EastSide Centre in East Peoria for the state finals. Here’s the outlook for Lemont as it starts its postseason run:

Lemont Regional: Lemont Sectional: Montini Sectional seed: No. 4 First game: 4:30 p.m. May 26 vs. No. 13 Noble Street-Bulls

Outlook: Though Lemont softball has been a little more inconsistent than in recent years on the diamond, the Indians still are in the midst of another successful campaign. After an 8-2 nonconference loss against Downers Grove North on May 16, the squad had an overall record of 18-10. That includes a mark of 11-6 in the South Suburban Conference. The offense has been impressive throughout the spring and the squad is hitting at a .421 clip. Maddy Vermejan is batting .589 with 12 doubles, nine triples, three home runs and 50 RBIs while Rylie Jay is at .489 with 13 doubles, six triples, five home runs and 30 RBIs. Anna Smagacz also has been a major contributor, hitting .489 with five home runs and 42 RBIs, and Elaina and Jade Mardjetko have split time, Latz has posted an average of .573 with each throwing more than 80 innings. with 20 RBIs. Lemont drew the No. 4 seed in the In the pitching circle, Dana Threet

Lemont baseball set to start difficult road to title defense By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Coming off the program’s first state championship last spring, the return to the diamond in 2015 with a young group already has been a challenge for Lemont’s baseball team. Now the Indians are set to face their biggest test to date with the Class 3A regional they are hosting, which once again includes Joliet Catholic. Lemont is the No. 3 seed and opens against No. 2 Lincoln-Way West on May 28. Those two teams already met on May 2 with the Indians falling by an 8-3 margin. “It is what it is,” Lemont coach Brian Storako said. “You have to beat them [Lincoln-Way West and Joliet

Lemont postseason n REGIONAL: Lemont n SECTIONAL: Joliet Catholic n REGIONAL SEED: No. 3 n FIRST GAME: 4:30 p.m. May 28 vs.

No. 2 Lincoln-Way West Catholic] at some point. “Lincoln-Way West is a good team. They’ve got a good pitching staff, they hit the ball, they play defense very well. We will have to play defense, throw strikes and we can’t make mental mistakes.” Lemont is 16-11 on the season after a pair of victories against Hillcrest on May 19. The Indians won the opener 12-0 as Mike Gralla and Tyler Schoell had two hits apiece with Gralla, Angel

Salinas, Nick Wisz and Casey O’Brien each driving in two runs. Mike Connolly struck out five in four innings, allowing three hits. The Indians then won the second game 13-0, scoring 11 runs in the opening frame. Jake Caballero was 2 for 2 with a triple and two RBIs and Gralla had a pair of doubles and two runs. Nate Broskovetz added two hits. Ben Sabourin fanned six in three innings. “We had been kind of struggling,” Storako said. “We haven’t really put it all together. One day we will pitch and hit well and not play much defense. Or we will play good defense and hit but won’t pitch well. “I think of our 11 losses, eight or nine have been by two or less runs. So it’s been frustrating in that aspect.”

The squad does feature a deep pitching staff, something that could help them in the postseason. “The staff has come around,” the coach said. “They all have the tools to do well, we just had to work on the mental side and being confident in all of their pitches.” The offense is led by Nick Wisz, one of the few holdovers from last year’s squad. The Indians are hitting over .350 as a team this year, which is even higher than last spring. “He’s been swinging the bat really well,” Storako said of Wisz. “We knew that he could do that, so to us it hasn’t been a surprise. A big key for us has been Jake Caballero. When he is getting on base, everything else falls into place. And he has been a real bright spot for us, both at the plate and defensively.”
