“Serving our communities to make them better places to live.”

By DAN FARNHAM LEMONT – In the month since she opened Jilley’s Boutique in downtown Lemont, owner Jill McDermott-Mace said she has already received a warm reception. “It’s been very nice,” she said. “We’ve been welcomed with open arms here.” Jilley’s Boutique, 117 Stephen St., sells unique women’s clothing, jewelry and accessories. McDermott-Mace, an Orland Park resident, said she first considered opening a boutique eight years ago but did not think the time was right. Now that her children are going off to college, she says the timing is better. “I always liked shopping small clothing store boutiques myself,” she said. “So, I wanted to create something that I would like to shop at myself.” She said she had been in retail before but was most recently a patient coordinator for a surgeon. When searching for a retail space, McDermott-Mace said she looked in Lemont because she has always liked the village. She and her husband viewed a couple of spots in the downtown area. “We found this one, and we both fell in love with it,” she said. “We thought it would be perfect for what we wanted.” She said it took about three to four months of work before she was able to open the store. The staff has started small: McDermott-Mace, her daughter, Annie, and Lemont resident Jenn Williams.

LEMONT VILLAGE BOARD | 4 THINGS TO KNOW

Committee addresses ash borer funding, new subdivision By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The Lemont Village Board discussed its strategy for removing its dead ash trees and a couple of building developments during the Committee of the Whole meeting on Monday. Action is expected on some of the items in the next couple of board meetings. Here are four issues addressed at Monday’s meeting:

1. Emerald Ash Borer The village of Lemont Public Works Department is prioritizing removing 252 ash trees in Glenys and McCarthy Point subdivision that are dead or dying from the emerald ash borer infestation. Only the trees that are more than 50 percent dead and pose a safety hazard will be removed. Removing these trees will cost $54,936. The village allocated $50,000 for tree removal and $10,000 for tree replacement this year.

News to your phone Visit shawurl.com/texts to sign up for news and weather text alerts from Suburban Life. Both Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves and Public Works Director Ralph Pukula said that priority needs to be given to removing the dead trees and suggested using the $10,000 meant for replacing the trees to remove as many trees as possible. Reaves said that if the village continues at a pace of $50,000 to remove trees each year, it will take about 10 years to remove the 2,000 ash trees in the village parkways. Pukula said residents can have their ash tree removed and replaced on their own but advised residents to use contractors recommended by the village. Residents who choose not to replace parkway trees themselves will be put on a waiting

list to have it replaced. Trustee Cliff Miklos estimated it could take six to seven years before the village is able to start replacing the trees.

2. Kettering subdivision It has taken seven years, but the proposed 241-unit Kettering subdivision is nearing final approval from the village. The 131 acres of vacant agricultural land at the southwest corner of 131st Street and Parker Road was annexed into the village in August 2007. The development was originally to be called Glen Oaks Estates and was owned by Montalbano Homes. Glen Oaks Estates later purchased the property. In December 2009, the village determined the engineering plans were based on erroneous topographical data, and the entire site had to be re-engineered. The board approved an amended annexation agreement and preliminary planned unit development in December 2012.

The final PUD was submitted by the developer M/I Homes on May 2. The board discussed some tweaks it would like to see to the home design during the meeting. Planning and Economic Development Director Charity Jones said the changes to the final PUD would not be ready for approval by the next board meeting June 23.

4. Canal and Quarry beautification The board discussed ways to beautify the I&M Canal and the quarry area within the village’s budget. Village Administrator George Schafer said the goal for the canal is to increase the water level and create an aeration method so the water does not look stagnant. He said one idea is to install two permanent barriers to help retain the water. Reaves said they would like to raise the water level 3 feet. Trustee Jeanette Virgilio said the quarry recreation area has shown the wear of a harsh winter. She said the upkeep of the quarry area would ideally include mowing and trimming the trees three times a year. Because the public works department does not always have time to work on the area, Reaves said he would prefer exploring the cost of hiring an outside company to do the upkeep.

3. Chicago Blaze Rugby Club building The board had no issues with a proposed new clubhouse and parking lot for the Chicago Blaze Rugby Club to be built at 13011 Smith Road. Village Planner Martha Glas said the paved parking lot, along with a gravel lot, should provide enough parking that visitors will not need to park in the streets of the nearby Smith Farms subdivision. The project would also include a public sidewalk along Smith Road from Smith Farms to the northern most driveway.

After garage collapses, adjacent office building closes By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – A parking garage that partially collapsed June 2 has forced the temporary closure of the Centennial Building at 116 Main St. The long-term structural integrity of the parking garage could also affect Illinois Street above it. Lemont Building Commissioner Mark LaChappell said no damage was done to the structure of Centennial Building, but the gas meter and electrical unit for the building were damaged. “It’s just the utilities that have to be repaired and restored,” he said. Air conditioning units can be seen hanging from the 50-year-old building. LaChappell said the parking garage needs to be shored up before ComEd and Nicor will turn on the electricity and gas. Lemont Village Administrator George Schafer said no one was injured from the collapse. The building is used for office space and held four businesses that have been displaced.

Michael Lippner, who owns been deteriorating since Ilthe Centennial Building and linois Street above it was exthe part of the garage that panded 10 years ago. collapsed, said the garage has He said the street, which is

owned by the Illinois Department of Transportation, has been pushing against the top of the parking garage because it

was partially built with sand. “When the street was expanded, there was a big opening in the limestone,” he said. “So that is what they filled with sand.” Lippner said he believes part of the reason the building has been closed is because the village is trying to pressure him to remove the parking garage. “The village has been after me to either fix the [parking] deck or take it down,” he said. Lippner said he is worried about taking down the parking garage because a village engineer determined Illinois Street would collapse in six months without the structure. “Who’s responsible if I take the deck down and Illinois Street comes down?” he said. Lippner said he expects to have the garage shored up by next week. LaChappell said stabilizing the garage is only a temporary fix. The owners of the garage and IDOT will need to work together to support the structure of the road and have the garage removed, he said.

Farmers Insurance drops flood lawsuit against Lemont SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LEMONT – Less than two months after the initial filing, Farmers Insurance Co. has dropped its class-action lawsuit against the Village of Lemont, Cook County and a number of other counties and communities that claimed they failed to prevent damage caused by heavy flooding last spring. Ultimately, the lawsuit sought to recover funds the insurance company paid out to

more than 600 property owners affected by the April 2013 flooding. At the time of the filing, company spokesperson Trent Frager described the damage as “completely preventable.” The insurance company dropped the lawsuits in early June, less than two months after initially filing the claims in court. Farmers said in the initial suit that the flooding, which caused Gov. Pat Quinn to declare 48 counties disaster ar-

eas, could have been mitigated by better management of retention and detention basins, proper operation of tributary open and enclosed sewers and drains, and the erection of proper barriers. The dropped lawsuit alleged the counties and municipalities were aware of this, based on prior flooding and studies. Farmers Insurance Media Relations Director Luis Sahagun said the lawsuit had been dropped against all counties

and municipalities it had initially been filed against. “Farmers initiated this litigation in an effort to recover money on behalf of our policyholders for certain losses they sustained that could have been avoided by the cities and counties named in this lawsuit,” Sahagun said in a statement. “We hoped that by filing this lawsuit we would encourage cities and counties to take preventative steps to reduce the risk of harm in the future. We

had hoped to give a voice to customers. “We believe our lawsuit brought important issues to the attention of the respective cities and counties, and that our policyholders’ interests will be protected by the local governments going forward. Therefore, we have withdrawn the suit and hope to continue the constructive conversations with the cities and counties in Chicagoland to build stronger, safer communities.”

D-113A approves leasing buses Sen. Radogno’s daughter, By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The District 113A Board of Education approved a new three-year lease agreement on its buses during its Wednesday meeting. The lease is for 20 passenger buses and one wheelchair bus at the cost of $219,182 per year, with a savings of $17,009 from last year’s lease. The district also saved

$10,639 by leasing one less bus and reducing the number of routes by one. During the June 11 meeting, incoming Superintendent Courtney Orzel said the fifth grade move to River Valley School will balance out the bus routes and allow for one less route. She said some routes could take longer with the change, but does not foresee any route being more than 40 minutes. The board also approved

transferring $225,000 from its Operations and Maintenance Fund to its Site and Construction Fund. The money was unspent from the 2013-14 school year and will be used for parking lot repairs at Old Quarry Middle School. District Business Manager Barbara Germany said the district consulted with its attorney and the Illinois State Board of Education to make sure the transfer was appropriate.

Lisa, dies suddenly By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com

LEMONT – Lisa Radogno, 31, the daughter of state Sen. Christine Radogno, R-Lemont, died from a massive pulmonary embolism Wednesday, according to a statement from the senator’s office.

The Americans who made it past the beach and into France found themselves in impossible situations, but they persevered. I was honored to meet some of these men who participated in the invasion and to hear their stories of courage, just as I am honored to meet veterans who come out to D.C. to visit the WWII Memorial and those I meet around my district. There are not many of them left, but these are the men who fought for freedom on the battlefield and then returned home and built our great nation. We can never say “thank you” enough for their service and sacrifice, but we must do all we can. That is why I have been fighting to get to the bottom of the shameful VA scandal and help reform the system so that all veterans – from WWII to today – get the health care they deserve. The resignation of Secretary Shinseki was necessary but only the start of a comprehensive reform of the VA which should not stop until the system is giving veterans the health care they deserve. I encourage all veterans to continue to speak out on this issue. No matter if you served in WWII or Afghanistan, peacetime or war, my door always is open to you and your family. And I ask everyone to do what they can to honor our veterans and pray for the safety of all our men and women still serving our nation in the Armed Forces.

The Lemont baseball team hoists the first place trophy after winning the IHSA Class 3A state baseball final 2-1 Saturday against Sacred Heart-Griffin. The championship is the school’s first.

Talk about an instant classic! What a rally by the Lemont High School boys baseball team to bring the Indians’ their first boys team athletic title over Sacred Heart-Griffin. Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the seventh, the Indians were down to their last out with nobody on base. They managed to fill the bases, and senior Ryan Folliard became a hero never to be forgotten in Lemont lore, hitting a single to center field on a 2-1 pitch to drive home the tying and winning runs. A big congratulations goes out to the boys for never giving up and jotting down their names in the history books. Go Indians!

Too much criticism of President Obama

Border laws not enforced between Mexico, U.S. The recent surge of illegal immigration into the U.S.A., with, apparently approval by the border patrol is not awfully difficult to explain. This is a win-win set up by an administration bent on controlling the lives of Americans. First, the waves of tens of thousands of human beings being allowed in contain the elements of the Mexican drug cartels and their illicit cargo, enabling a surge in federal drug enforcement and further dictatorial, intrusion into the lives of Americans allegedly to control narcotics. Second, can you guess which political party will benefit as the human waves are rushed into pathways to U.S. citizenship or outright vote fraud? Probably not the GOP. Wake up America, this is much more than a spontaneous appearance of Central American children and families at the border. It is a well-organized suspension of immigration control, complete with Greyhound buses and holding facilities at military bases. The door is wide open, and we are all supposed to accept it as simply “for the children.”

Former retail property in Hinsdale needs attention What’s the reason the old Amling’s retail property (Ogden Avenue and Monroe Street) in Hinsdale has been allowed to fall into such a horrible state of abandonment? Every day, it becomes more of an eyesore with its decrepit buildings, lowering property values for everyone in the area. Why is this issue being overlooked or swept under the rug? Make a decision –residential or commercial – and get this property up and running. If nothing else, tear down the existing buildings, sod the land and allow this space to become a green space. After that, come to a zoning decision and stick with it. Just letting things go to rot makes absolutely no economic sense for anyone.

I would like to Sound Off about our president. Since he’s been in office, some people I don’t get. If he goes left, he should’ve gone right. It he goes under, he should’ve gone over. We all are Americans, so why do that? Some of the presidents have been bad. Just give the man a chance. I just don’t understand it. He can’t do anything right in some people’s eyes. We had Bush for eight years, what did he do?

Indian Chinese cuisine goes back over 100 years when people of Chinese origin moved to India across the North East Border and settled in Calcutta. Most of these immigrants were of Hakka ancestry. Over the years they adapted the Chinese cuisine for the locale Indian seasoning and cooking techniques. This is how Indian Chinese fusion began.

Despite Illinois’ history of voting fraud, lawmakers are relaxing registration requirements for pollgoers this November. The legislation would allow Election Day registration and require expanded early voting throughout the state, with a special focus on college campuses. The amendment was attached to a minimum wage ballot referendum bill. Both passed through the General Assembly earlier this month. Along with requiring higher education facilities to conduct early voting drives in “high traffic areas” of campus, the bill also requires colleges and universities to send emails to their students with detailed voter registration process information in general election years. The emails will include links where students can register online. Sen. Christine Radogno, R-Lemont, said the move raises a red flag. “It is important for the election laws of the state to stay current with emerging technologies and trends. But anytime election law provisions impact a specific election cycle, it raises a red flag. Everyone needs to closely monitor how the new legislation – if it becomes law with Gov. [Pat] Quinn’s signature – is implemented.” Hans van Spakovsky, manager of election law reform and senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, says efforts like this don’t generally increase voter turnout, although that is their intended goal. He also said there’s a reason one party seems to consistently push these measures when they have the opportunity. “Loosening voter registration rules is generally an attempt by Democrats to attract demographics of people they think will vote for them. In this case, it’s young people and college students. History also shows us that when voter fraud does occur, Democrats are usually the ones to benefit. “This is an invitation to fraud,” Spakovsky said. Illinois’ history of voter fraud is indeed long and not left wanting for examples. It’s estimated that the aforementioned 1982 governor’s race saw

over 100,000 fraudulent votes – 10 percent of the entire city’s vote count – in Chicago alone through multiple voting and box stuffers casting ballots for deceased former residents. The Chicago disaster resulted in one of the Department of Justice’s largest voter fraud prosecutions in history. The 1960 presidential election saw disputed vote counts between Chicago and downstate, and as recently as 2002 several dozen elderly Chicago residents found their requested absentee ballots had already been filled out for them. The latter story resulted in felony convictions of two Cook County election officials. Brian Gladstein, director of programs and strategy at Common Cause Illinois, praised the effort to widen the window for potential voters. “The cornerstone of our democracy is to provide the greatest opportunity to vote,” he said. “It creates an environment where more people are civically engaged and care who wins elections.” Gladstein cited low voter turnout in Illinois over the past few election cycles as ample reason to expand the registration process. “Same-day registration and early voting helps new voters who are just entering the process,” Gladstein said. “It also help those voters who don’t remember where they are registered or may want to register and vote in a different precinct or county than were they were registered before.” While voting in Illinois doesn’t require an ID, registering to vote does. Illinois residents who register on Election Day would be required to provide a driver’s license or Social Security number in order to successfully register and then proceed to vote. On the question of fraud, Gladstein says the solution isn’t restricting voter access, but modernizing the system. “We’d love to see electronic polling booths in every precinct in the state,” he said. “Double voting is a challenge, but if all voting was electronic, the database could track who is registered and if they voted already and would prohibit multiple votes from the same registration number.”

Park District brings back Bacon and Beer Bash By AMANDA FRAZER msleditorial@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – The sizzle of bacon will sound at Ashbury’s at Boughton Ridge as it prepares to serve a variety of bacon-inspired food and beverages during an upcoming event. For the second year, Ashbury’s, 335 E. Boughton Road, will host its Bacon and Beer Bash at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, June 28, under a tent in the restaurant parking lot. The cost of the event is $25 person, which includes unlimited access to a buffet of bacon-inspired dishes and two beverages. Event activities

will include a mechanical bull, dunk tank, bags and live music by classic rock band Kick Back City. “It’s just fun and something different to get away,” said Jim Sawyer, event coordinator and general manager of Ashbury’s. “We will be out there having fun and being silly and enjoying good music and food.” Sawyer said about 150 res-

idents attended the event last year and about 50 have registered so far. The Bacon and Beer Bash began when Ron Oestreich, executive director of the Bolingbrook Park District, contacted Sawyer with the idea of an “all-bacon event,” Sawyer said. “I’m glad he gave me the idea and we ran with it,” Sawyer said. Dishes at the event will include fresh jalapenos wrapped in bacon, bacon shrimp and bacon burgers. Beverages at the event include bacon maple syrup-flavored beer and bacon vodka. “It doesn’t sound appetizing, but when it’s mixed it’s

very good,” Sawyer said of the bacon-flavored vodka. Sawyer said the mechanical bull was popular last year and that it will again be free for event attendees. “I was the first one to get on there since we needed someone to break the ice,” Sawyer said. “After I got on, everyone else jumped on and had fun with it.” Proceeds from the dunk tank will benefit the Lily Cache Special Recreation Association, Sawyer said. Sawyer that although it is not part of the event, residents may find it appealing to golf at the Boughton Ridge Golf Course prior to the event.

Forest preserve deals with residents encroaching on land By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com The Forest Preserve District of Will County is cracking down on property owners who illegally use the district’s public land for personal storage, composting or as a spot to dispose of yard waste. In one instance, a Homer Glen resident even built a wooden pier on the district’s adjacent land and erected a “No Trespassing” sign, said Marcy DeMauro, the forest preserve district’s executive director. The district surveyed boundaries along 12 of its 82

preserves this spring. Staff found 214 encroachments, most of which were simply homeowners mowing the land, while others dumped trash or built permanent structures, gardens or fencing. Letters were sent last month to owners asking that they remove items within 45 days and comply with the district’s policies. In instances where property owners were mowing the district’s land, the letters requested they immediately discontinue because mowing has an impact on vegetation and wildlife habitats. However, the 45-day deadline for property owners cur-

rently mowing will be extended until board members can take a closer look at the policies presented June 12 by the district. The extension was agreed upon following complaints heard at the board meeting June 12, DeMauro said. “Once we started getting feedback from those residents, we realized that this was something we’d have to look at more closely with respect to our mowing schedule,” DeMauro said. One resident raised concerns about how often vegetation along his property will be mowed, noting at one time the

district only mowed boundaries twice a year. “The problem I’ve got with it is, how often is it going to be cut?” one resident said. “Right now, we’ve been cutting it for 18 years and there hasn’t been any problems at all.” Board member Reed Bible, D-Plainfield, noted there’s the issue of liability. “We kind of live in a litigious society these days,” he said, noting the forest preserve district would be liable if someone was injured on the land. The board voted June 12 to send the matter to its operations committee for further re-

view. It will be taken up at the committee’s July 2 meeting. In the meantime, the district staff will work with those who may need more time getting rid of permanent structures, DeMauro said. But property owners who are encroaching on the district’s land with minor violations must abide by the established deadline, she said. Property owners with questions are encouraged to contact the Forest Preserve District of Will County. The district will survey the remaining property boundaries for encroachment violations over the next few years, DeMauro said.

Restaurant reviews

Get a delightful experience at Irish Times BROOKFIELD – About five minutes after we’d been served our entrees, my dining companion indicated her plate with her fork, making a loose circle to include everything in front of her. “This – all of this – is awesome,” she said, eagerly collecting another forkful of halibut. A few minutes later, after I’d polished off three quarters of my sandwich, I said without hesitation, “This is the best turkey club I’ve ever had.” We’d stopped into the Irish Times Pub & Restaurant in Brookfield almost on a whim, deciding out of the blue to have a full meal instead of grabbing fast food as we’d originally intended. A quick web search on a smartphone turned up a few likely options in the Riverside-Brookfield-La Grange area, where we’d spent the day. After our first choice turned out to be closed, we found ourselves on Burlington Avenue to check out our second option. The interior of Irish Times is eclectic and homey without feeling cramped. There’s all sorts of memorabilia, some of it obviously Irish inspired, some more nautical, and some just evocative of days gone by. This is no “dive bar,” but a friendly, well-maintained, low-key neighborhood joint with lots of charm. The menu features a full complement of appetizers, soups, salads, burgers, sandwiches and traditional Irish entrees. The appetizers are varied, with items such as corned beef bites, breaded and fried mushrooms, “sleeping bangers” – Irish sausages wrapped in biscuit dough with stout mustard – and “Pedro’s Tacos.” I went for the mushrooms, while my dining companion ordered pretzel bites. I’ve only recently come to appreciate mushrooms after a lifetime of disliking them, so I was taking a bit of a risk with my order. I

Lemont’s Ryan Folliard (second from right) is mobbed by teammates after hitting a walk-off single to center field to win the Class 3A state baseball final, 2-1 against Sacred Heart-Griffin at Joliet’s Silver Cross Field. It was the school’s first state title in a boys sport.

Folliard’s clutch hit gives Lemont first state championship By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com JOLIET – From the opening practice of the 2014 season, the Lemont baseball team had a goal of winning a state title and the belief that it could happen. So even as the Indians were down to their final out Saturday in the Class 3A championship game, facing a one-run deficit with the bases empty, that confidence did not waver. And sure enough, after three straight batters reached base, there was Ryan Folliard lining a two-RBI single up the middle to give Lemont a 2-1 win over Sacred Heart-Griffin and hand the program its first state title. “That’s everyone’s dream,” Folliard said. “Just unreal. I missed a couple of fastballs early in the game and I knew

I wasn’t going to miss again. I can’t believe this.” Mike Gralla started the winning rally with a single to left. Jamie Glista reached on an error and Danny Dowiarz followed with a walk. “It’s been like that all year, coming through in the clutch,” Gralla said. “We are down but never out and we knew we could do it.”

Charlie Wright: 7 IP, 5 hits, 7 strikeouts Folliard’s clutch hit made a winner out of Jake Latz, who allowed just three hits while striking out 11 in a complete-game effort. “This was really a special team,” Latz said, “and I’m so happy to have been a part of it.” Indeed, the 2014 Indians leave

behind quite a legacy as the title was also the first by a boys team in school history. The football program has been a runner-up twice while the 2000 track squad also came in second. “We were all in it together,” said senior pitcher Charlie Wright, who recorded the win on the mound in Friday’s 8-3 victory over Metamora in the semifinals. “We were more than a team, we were a family. It’s the best feeling in the world and to be the first boys team to win a championship makes it even better.” That togetherness was echoed by senior shortstop Mike Wisz. “Since day one, we’ve been a family,” he said. “Our motto was, ‘we not me.’ Everyone picks each other up and that’s how it has been all year.” The final victory was the

team’s 35th of the spring and capped off a dominating playoff run in which the Indians gave up just eight runs in seven games. “People can’t say we don’t do anything in the playoffs anymore,” senior catcher Mike Papierski said. “We proved that we are a good program and we proved that we are the best in 3A.” For head coach Brian Storako, he is now a state champion in only his second year on the job. Over that span, Lemont is 58-12. “These kids deserve it,” Storako said. “They are a great bunch of kids and everyone has worked hard since day one. “It’s a great feeling. It’s great for Lemont, it’s great for the community. These kids wanted to be a part of something special and they have been.”

ALL-AREA SOFTBALL MVP

Dale Ryndak had a ‘desire to win’

LMR Suburban Life • mysuburbanlife.com • Friday, June 20, 2014 • LEM

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Dale Ryndak always wanted to follow in her older sister Kendall’s footsteps. In more ways than one, the recent Downers Grove North graduate did exactly that. “It started with my sister. I just kind of wanted to do what she did,” Dale Ryndak said. “She was a pitcher, so I needed to be a pitcher because she was a pitcher. I actually started off hating pitching, but it’s my favorite thing to do now. It comes so easy to me.” What comes easy for Ryndak made life hard on opponents of North’s softball team. An ace pitcher and dangerous hitter for the Trojans, she not only followed in her sister’s footsteps on the field but off it as well. Kendall Ryndak was the 2011 all-area softball MVP; Dale is the 2014 MVP. Making Ryndak’s senior season all the more impressive is the fact it came after she missed nearly all of her junior campaign after tearing her ACL and meniscus in the first game of the 2013 season. She put up eye-popping numbers this year, thanks to her tireless work effort on a daily basis. “Most people see her competing in games, but when you see her everyday in practice you can tell how she’s able to separate herself from other players,” North head coach Eric Landschoot said. “The way she’d go about taking at-bats in practice or doing long toss to prepare for a game, that’s how she set herself apart.” As a freshman, Ryndak was a solid player who was an all-area team member. She improved as a sophomore and took things to a new level this spring, especially as a pitcher. “I think my overall mental game and how I approach hitters really changed from my freshman year to now,” she said. “Since freshman year, I’ve added a couple off-speed pitches, but I think my overall approach to each batter has changed and that’s what made me better.” Inside the circle this season, Ryndak was nearly unhittable.

Downers Grove North’s Dale Ryndak delivers a pitch in an April 8 game against Wheaton Warrenville South. Ryndak bounced back from a severe injury junior year to have a standout senior season this spring as a pitcher and hitter. She compiled a 22-2 record with a 0.52 ERA, and she notched 219 strikeouts while walking only 11 batters in 159 innings pitched. Among the 17 shutouts she tossed were one perfect game and one no-hitter. She also had stellar production in the batter’s box (.446 batting average, 10 home runs, 41 RBIs), and the combination of her pitching and hitting

prowess helped her earn a big honor – 2014 Gatorade Illinois Player of the Year. “I got a memo and was notified that I was kind of up for it, but getting it was such an honor,” she said. “It’s a dream come true. Every girl in softball wants that award, and I can’t say how thankful I am to get that.” The day Ryndak won the

award was the same day the Trojans faced the Downers Grove South in a sectional semifinal game. “Before we left for the game and she got the award it was, ‘Thank you. I just want to win today,’ and she really did feel that way,” Landschoot said. “Her level of competitiveness and her desire to win was something else.”

Jake Latz delivers a pitch in Lemont’s Class 3A state baseball final win on Saturday. The senior struck out 11 in a complete game.

Lemont seniors a class to remember By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com

Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com

Down 1-0 with two outs in the seventh inning, Lemont’s Jamie Glista hustles down the line to beat the throw and reach base. Glista would later score the winning run as the Indians captured the Class 3A state title with a 2-1 victory against Sacred Heart-Griffin on Saturday.

“We haven’t gotten past the regional ever so just getting to the sectional was amazing. But to end it like this, you couldn’t ask for anything else.” Mike Wisz, Senior shortstop

JOLIET – Jake Latz and Mike Papierski have dominated many of the Lemont headlines and deservedly so as two of the top high school baseball players in the state. But at times overshadowed was the rest of a talented 13-member senior class that helped lead the Indians to the first state championship in program history Saturday. In fact, along with Latz and Papierski heading to LSU together, several other players will continue their careers at the collegiate level: Mike Wisz (University of Houston), Jake Terrazas (St. Louis University), Charlie Wright (Joliet Junior College) and Eric Tucker (University of Pikeville). “This senior class is amazing,” Papierski said. “Whether it was someone like Ryan [Folliard], every single game, somebody came up with the big hit. And then Charlie on the mound, Latz on the mound. Everybody contributed. We were

a team, not just individuals.” Many members of the senior class had grown up playing together as part of the Lemont Indians traveling team. “Through travel ball, I had played with or against most of them, mostly with them,” Terrazas said. “We knew we had a talented class coming in (to high school). As the years went on, we said we could do big things. Turns out, senior year we did.” And leading the way was second-year head coach Brian Storako, who began his coaching career as the sophomore coach at Lemont before going to Marian Catholic as an assistant and then returning to Lemont. “Coach Storako put us in a good position to be successful,” Papierski said. “He gives us a shot to win everyday.” For his part, Storako deflected the credit back to the kids. “You can keep going down the line,” he said, “all of the guys have helped us get to this point. It’s such a great moment and I’m proud of everybody.”
