The Lemont Park District is introducing Freedom Days, a five-day festival leading up to the Fourth of July. There are several outdoor family events planned, each with a patriotic theme.

Summer school program builds student connections By DAN FARNHAM

Hands-on curriculum

dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – During a morning snack break from his summer school class, Lemont High School student Johnny Greanias was spending time at a lunch table with some of his new friends. “I’ve been talking to Sarah, Taylor, Skylar and Collette,” he said. Twelve honor students are volunteering to help students in the special education program during a summer class called “Summer, Science, STEM – Oh My!” The students work together on hands-on activities for four hours each Tuesday. This is the first summer for this collaborative program, which is being funded by a grant from the Lemont High School Educational Foundation. The grant helps pay for class materials and field trips. Special education teacher Michael Beranek, who ap-

Some of the activities in the “Summer, Science, STEM – Oh My!” class have included working with beetles to see how much weight they can pull and making bird houses.

Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com

Teacher Scott Collins (from left) discusses a birdhouse project that Michaela Tauer and Ashley Mathews are making. plied for the grant, said the purpose of the program is to expose the honor students to different kinds of disabilities and the special education students to good student role models. “We want to expose [special education students] to

curriculum at their level as well as curriculum that just gives them exposure to higher level concepts,” he said. Beranek said the honor students are able to give immediate feedback to the special education students who have questions.

Having students their own age also gives the special education students someone to relate to, instead of an authority figure, he said. “If those honor students weren’t there helping us and supporting us, I feel this [class] would be very difficult to have,” he said. Greanias said the class has been more fun than he expected. “It’s amazing,” he said. “These honor students are really intelligent and so are some of the special ed kids.” Skylar Lefevers, one of the honor students, said she is volunteering because it is a way to help the special educa-

tion students while working in a subject she is likes. “It’s been a lot more fun and a hands-on thing,” she said. “I thought it was going to be more like a class.” She said the experience has given her a better understanding of the special education students. “Their capabilities are way more expanded than it seems,” she said. Mallory Douglas and Alyssa Wood were already family friends before they joined the class together. Douglas and Wood said the class is more fun than school, but they are still learning. “If we weren’t [learning], it wouldn’t be called summer school,” Wood said. Beranek said he hopes the program will help the special education students build new connections for during the regular school year. “Now you have a new person you can ask for help and get support from,” he said.

Irritable Bowel, Celiac, Crohn’s or Colitis? system. hey play an important role in the protective barrier in your gut. Your gut makes up 80% of your immune system due to this barrier system. Antibiotics kill pathologic bacteria and infections but they also kill good bacteria and cause gut dysbiosis (imbalance). his dysbiosis can lead to pathologic bacterial, yeast and parasitic infections as well as food allergies.

Are you afraid to leave your house due to an unpredictable bowel? Have you tried diferent treatments but continue to sufer? Do you know the essentials for a healthy digestive system? Have you given up and decided to just live with it?

Hi, 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 nervous system, immune system, endocrine system (hormones), diet essentials (Neuro-‐Metabolic Care), manage the underlying cause and use natural therapies to manage digestive disorders. here are many essentials required for proper digestion. Let’s talk about a few… Zinc is necessary to make hydrochloric acid (HCL). HCL is needed to break down food (protein) in the stomach and for production of methyl groups. Methyl groups turn on tumor suppressor genes and turn of oncogenes leading to potential cancer growth. If HCL is deicient, this results in poor digestion and a many imbalances due to a deiciency of methyl groups. HCL deiciency also leads to growth of pathological bacteria like H. Pylori, which can cause gastritis, stomach ulcers and possibly stomach cancer. Probiotics (good bacteria) are normally found in the gut. Optimal levels are needed for a proper functioning digestive system. hese probiotics are also part of your immune

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a digestive disorder that includes abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating and alternating constipation and diarrhea. he cause is unknown but theories include toxic overload, intestinal infections, inlammation from stress and poor diet generalized condition of the digestive system poor signaling from the brain to the digestive system for proper function.

Testimonial As someone who lives with chronic nausea, poor digestion and anxiety, I assumed I was out of options when countless doctors told me that there was nothing else they could do for me. hey told me it was likely all in my head. hen I visited Dr. Forzley and he told me from the initial consultation that he was very conident he could help me. I was so excited that I cried. No other doctor has ever been so much on my side. Now, 8 weeks into treatment, I am nausea free, anxiety free and my digestion is normal. I have started living a life I never thought I could live. My body is a machine, slowed and dirtied by processed foods and environmental toxins. But with the help of Dr. Forzley, my body is on the way back to an optimal state for long term health and happiness. Veronica M.

he digestive system assimilates food (carbs, fats and proteins) to produce energy. It breaks down food into nutrient forms that your body can absorb. It uses enzymes, good bacteria and hydrochloric acid to break down food to a usable form. Your gut is a barrier, a tube that starts in your mouth, continues as your esophagus, small intestine, large intestine and rectum. 80% of your immune system is in your gut. When you break down the barrier (gut lining), toxins can “leak” into the blood stream leading to an immune response, inlammation and food allergies. Hippocrates, the father of medicine said… “look to the gut, there will you ind the origin of almost all human illness.”

Digestive system inlammation is associated with IBS, Crohn’s, Celiac and Ulcerative Colitis. It is due to stress, poor diet, toxins and food allergies. Digestive inlammation leads to production of cytokines (inlammatory cells). hese cytokines travel in the blood to the brain and inlame the brain cells. he brain (mesencephalon) in turn controls the digestive system. his leads to a vicious cycle resulting in an inlammatory cascade which exponentially worsens over time. Successfully managing digestive conditions involves balancing the nervous system, digestive system and immune system as well as improving the diet, decreasing gut inlammation and detoxifying the body.

Medications to treat digestive disorders can weaken your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer. hese medications may give you symptom relief but have side efects and DO NOT ADDRESS the UNDERLYING CAUSE of your condition.

Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is a digestive condition that involves gluten sensitivity like Celiac Disease but is not an autoimmune disorder. It involves digestive symptoms (pain, bloating…), fatigue, joint pains as well as neurologic symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, poor memory, brain fog and diiculty concentrating. Celiac Disease, Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are autoimmune diseases. An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your body instead of protecting it. here is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders. But you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY and decrease the efects of the tissue destruction. If you have an autoimmune disease like Celiac, Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis and you do not balance and calm down the autoimmune destruction, your immune system can attack other tissues and cause multiple autoimmune disorders. It is common for people with an autoimmune disorder to have multiple autoimmune diseases for this reason. Medications are not always the long term answer.

Holistic therapy can manage digestive conditions by: 1) inding and balancing the underlying cause and… 2) using natural therapies that work with your body.

Cook County officials warn of West Nile virus dangers SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA With mosquito season in full swing, Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) officials are reminding residents to be cautious and protect against West Nile virus. CCDPH spokesman Dr. Terry Mason said residents need to remember West Nile virus is real and to be vigilant in protecting against it, because it’s found every year in area com-

munities. Unless basic prevention steps are taken to limit the risk, breeding grounds can develop around homes and put people at risk for the infection, Mason said. West Nile Virus is an infection carried by the Culex mosquito. The Culex breeds in small pools of stagnant water. They rest during the day in areas of vegetation and are most active and likely to bite between the hours of dusk and dawn. The most effective way

NEWS BRIEF Park District hosting skateboard contest LEMONT – Lemont skaters will compete to see who is the best at the Rock Pit Skate Contest at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Rock Pit Skate Park on the Centennial Campus, 16028 127th St., Lemont. Each competitor will be given a one-minute run, with the top

to prevent the virus is to follow the three R’s – remove, repel and repair, according to a department news release. Residents are advised to remove standing water around their home in pet bowls, flower pots, old tires, bird baths, baby pools and toys where mosquitoes can breed. Homeowners should also make sure rain gutters drain properly. Mosquitoes can be repelled when outdoors by applying insect repellent with DEET and

following label directions. Residents should also repair or replace screens on doors and windows. Most people infected with the virus have no symptoms of illness and never become ill, but illness can occur about three to 15 days after an infected mosquito bite and cause symptoms of fever, headache and body aches. People over the age of 50 are at a higher risk for serious complications from encephalitis or menin-

gitis. For that reason, people who experience high fever, confusion, muscle weakness, severe headaches, or a stiff neck should see a doctor immediately. Between May and October each year, CCDPH conducts surveillance to identify mosquitoes, birds and humans positive for the disease. To report a dead bird, please visit the health department’s website at www.cookcountypublichealth.org.

The board also approved a bid for $211,068 to repair the Stephen Street bridge over the I&M Canal and the Old Lemont Road bridge over the Des Plaines River. According to the meeting agenda, the work will consist of: sealing the concrete cracks in the structure decks and substructure; repairing the concrete; installing new bearing retainer angles; cleaning and painting existing bearings; placing stone riprap; replacing existing preformed and neoprene expansion joints; installing vertical clearance signs; repairing and cleaning structure drainage systems; and completing all incidental and collateral work. Pukula said work on the bridges should start the second or third week of August.

LEMONT – The Lemont Village Board has agreed to pay Homer Tree Care Inc. to start removing some of its ash trees infected by the emerald ash borer. On Monday, the board voted in favor of removing at least 252 ash trees in Glenys and McCarthy Point subdivisions at a cost of $205 per tree. Public Works Director Ralph Pukula said his department is negotiating with Homer Tree Care on whether to remove more trees this year. The village has $60,000 allocated toward tree removal and replacement, with the intention of completely focusing on tree removal this year. Mayor Brian Reaves said the village also is looking at the alternative of doing a mass cut of its infected trees and paying the cost over several years. Reaves said the village is trying to be aggressive while still being cost effective. He estimated it would cost about $450,000 to remove all of the village’s 2,000 ash trees. Replacements will cost about $300 a tree, he said. “It’s a million dollar problem we have now,” he said. Pukula said the tree remov-

Art and nature combine on the I&M Canal By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com Sea serpent? ... Little bridges? Obstacle course for remote control boats? What are those arches in the I&M Canal near Ninth Street? “They’re Wiccan looking,” area resident Brad DeYoung said earlier this month as John Siblik was setting up the environmental sculpture. Siblik, a Lemont native who graduated from Joliet Catholic High School and teaches art at Upper Iowa University, calls it “River Weaving.” He worked with the nearby Illinois State Museum-Lockport to install the piece. Siblik banded branches together and spent four days setting 101 arches for a half-mile along the canal near the museum. Half the branches are new while others come from Rob Winner - rwinner@shawmedia.com previous installations of the Local artist and Lemont native John Siblik constructs one of his arches made from tree branches June 10 sculpture. “After the first day, we had that will be placed into the I&M Canal near Ninth Street in Lockport. snails on the rocks and blue herons interacting with the branches,” Museum Director John Lustig said.

Bending a 10-foot piece of willow into an 8-inch circle means one out of three just won’t work,” Siblik said. “But I tell students if one out of every three pieces works as they want it to, they’d feel incredibly fortunate.” Siblik first sketched the sculpture in 1986 while he was a student at Northern Illinois University. “It was conceived for the Kishwaukee River. You need an intimately scaled body of water to do this on. I don’t think it would work on the Mississippi,” he said. Siblik confessed having some fears for 20 years about translating his drawings to an actual sculpture but finally installed the piece in Elgin, Iowa, in 2006. He’s since done two other installations in Iowa with mixed results. “The floods of 2008 washed the whole piece away. If you’re

Recapping the recent legislative session While not a new legislator, the recently concluded legislative session was my first as House Republican Leader. I’ve had a couple of weeks now to reflect on the session, and I wanted to share with you some thoughts and a recap of some of the session highlights. For the first time in a very long time, the House Republican Caucus is united. The taxpayers of Illinois benefited this spring from our united stance against higher taxes. Because we held firm, the majority Democrats were unable to pass a graduCOMMUNITY ated tax increase and a three VOICE percent tax on incomes over Jim $1 million. Both would have been the death nail for many Durkin small employers in Illinois. We also stopped the Democrats from making the ‘temporary’ income tax hike on families and employers permanent – at least for now. One of our best moments from the session came at the end when talks popped up over a possible capital bill. The harsh winter caused havoc on our roadways and something had to be done as a matter of public safety. The proposal put before us included $1 billion for road repairs, $100 million for local governments to share for pothole repairs and $500 million for member initiatives (pork). I insisted that the $500 million for pork barrel project for legislators be removed. As a result of my insistence, we were able to pass a very narrowly focused, shovel-ready road improvement capital plan that will make our roads safer and create jobs this summer. This was also the session for ballot initiatives. In an effort to drive the democratic base to the polling booths in November, the Democrats introduced and passed several ballot initiatives this spring including: a non-binding referendum asking the voters whether or not the minimum wage should be raised to $10 an hour. This referendum came about after it became clear the Democrats could not secure enough votes to pass legislation raising the minimum wage in Illinois. I was sent to Springfield by my constituents to solve problems. When I first was elected House Republican Leader by my peers, I made a promise to work with Democrats and to keep my door open to lawmakers from both parties. While that hasn’t always been reciprocated, I’ve kept my promise on very important issues like pensions and capital. And I will continue to work with legislators from both sides of the aisle to improve outcomes for the people and State of Illinois.

Runners show their patriotic spirit during the 2013 Lemont Freedom Run on July 4. This year’s run will take on a new, more fun look as the Color Me Proud Freedom 5K, with runners being showered with patriotic colors during the event.

It’s going to be a very busy, fun and patriotic week in Lemont! This year’s Independence Day festivities have been cranked up thanks to the Lemont Park District, and it’s a deserving move for the community, which always embraces summer events. For a full schedule of this week’s events, see page 3. There was some really neat work done along the I&M Canal courtesy of Lemont native John Siblik. The artist built a sculpture along the canal near 9th Street in Lockport. This is a great opportunity to take in the scenic views of the canal and appreciate a Lemont native’s artwork. You can read more about this story on page 8.

This is in response to the person who thinks begging is appropriate in church parking lots. Begging is never appropriate or safe in a community where more permanent help is available to families in need. All of our local churches have connections to resources to help individuals get back on their feet. Those who beg in church parking lots are directed to these resources, and those who are truly in need receive help. This prevents unscrupulous people from taking advantage of the kindness of others and allows needy families to receive help with the dignity begging does not afford.

BOLINGBROOK – A Naperville couple has chosen Bolingbrook as the roll-out location for what they hope is the next big restaurant concept. Say Beignet Coffee & Wine Bar opened earlier this month in a corner storefront at The Promenade Bolingbrook bringing a unique menu of coffee, wine, pastries and sandwiches to pair with live entertainment. Edwin and Vivian Rios opened Say Beignet – named for the New Orleans-style French pastry – after wrapping up a 10-year lease operating Rumba, a Latin American dance club and restaurant in the trendy River North neighborhood of Chicago. The couple worked alongside each other at Rumba, all the while planning their next project. “It was about an hour drive downtown [to Rumba] and it just wore us out, so we figured we would do something closer,” Vivian Rios said. The 2,500-square-foot restaurant offers seating for 80 inside and for 55 on an outdoor patio. Edwin Rios called the design “very culinary”

their eyes on more locations for the Say Beignet concept. “This is our prototype,” Edwin said. “It’s our opportunity to analyze the business model, adjust it, and make revisions for our second, third and fourth locations.” He hopes to open additional restaurants within the next few years – possibly a second by next summer – and mentioned downtown Naperville, Orland Park, Woodfield and St. Charles as potential landing spots. But Bolingbrook was their first choice. “This is a highly motivated town,” Edwin said. “They wanted a high-quality facility and they are very easy to do business with. It was an aggressive move on both parts.” The couple believes the concept could be a category killer. “We’re not Starbucks or Panera – we’re something else. Obviously the cafe concept is defined by Starbucks, but Starbucks is one-dimensional. It’s coffee alone,” he said. “Say Beignet is a fully encompassing cafe experience.” “There’s nothing around here quite like this,” Vivian added.

Fallen soldier from Mokena honored By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleoncross@shawmedia.com Some people walk through life wearing a cloak of fear. Army Pfc. Aaron Toppen did not. That’s how the fallen soldier was described Tuesday at his funeral by U.S. Army Maj. General Jeffrey Snow. Toppen, 19, from Mokena, was killed earlier this month in Afghanistan. “Did Aaron know fear? Of course he did. We all do. But he did not wear it,” Snow said.

The body of Army Pfc. Aaron Toppen is taken Tuesday on a horse-drawn carriage from Parkview Christian Church in Orland Park to St. John’s Cemetery. American troops who died June 9 in southern Afghanistan from an air strike in one of the deadliest friendly-fire incidents in the war’s history. Military officials believe the air strike was called in after the Taliban ambushed Toppen’s unit. The teen knew from an early age he wanted to be in the Army, Senior Pastor Tim Harlow said to Toppen’s family and friends at the funeral service. “There was a patriotism born deep in his soul from his earliest days,” he said. Harlow recalled Toppen as a young boy riding his bike up and down the streets of Mokena as he belted out lyrics to the popular country song, “I’m Proud To Be An American.” Family and friends who spoke at the service described Toppen as an “All-American boy” who loved baseball, fishing and country music, and was proud to serve his nation. Outside the church, Dustin Cammack, spokesman for the Illinois National Guard, said several retired and current military personnel attended the funeral to honor Toppen for his services. “In the military, we’re a brotherhood, and when one of our own falls, we give them the respect that they deserve,” Cammack said. Cammack said he’s been

in the military for as long as Toppen has been alive. Toppen was just 6 years old when the war in Afghanistan first began. “Today makes me reflect personally on what I do as a service member and how dangerous what we do really is,” he said. “This young man didn’t have much time on this Earth and unfortunately he paid the ultimate price. We’re here to honor his service and what he has given to us.”

Final goodbyes After the service, Toppen’s flag-draped casket was carried to St. John’s Cemetery by a black horse-drawn funeral caisson. Members of the Illinois Patriot Guard Riders, along with police and military vehicles, led the funeral procession from the church. Mike Stuckey, senior ride captain for the Illinois Patriot Guard Riders, rode his motorcycle alongside Toppen’s casket. Stuckey called Toppen a “true hero.” “He was a hero. People say that word a lot, but it doesn’t carry much weight,” he said. “When I say Aaron was a hero, I mean a hero. He paid the ultimate sacrifice.” Thousands lined up along Wolf Road to say their last goodbyes to the fallen soldier. Several could be seen along the nearly three-mile

route holding a hand over their heart while holding a U.S. flag in the other. Several nearby businesses changed their marquee signs to pay tribute to Toppen. At the cemetery, Toppen’s mother, Pam Toppen, was honored with an American flag folded by members of the Armed Forces – a custom in military funerals – after it was lifted from her son’s casket. “That’s a powerful moment,” Cammack said. The service at St. John’s Cemetery included the playing of taps and a 21-gun salute. Family and friends released yellow and blue balloons into the sky immediately following the service. This year has proven to be an exceptionally difficult time for the Toppen family. Toppen’s father, Ronald, died in February. The young soldier was scheduled for deployment that same month, but stayed behind long enough to attend his father’s funeral. Toppen was buried beside his father Tuesday. Before Toppen was deployed overseas, Harlow said Toppen got a tattoo inked across his chest – a cross with two dog tags representing both of his grandfathers’ service. The words, “For those I love I sacrifice,” accompany the tattoo, he said.

37 Bar & Grill takes swing at diners’ appetites

The newly opened 37 Bar & Grill at White Pines Golf Club & Banquets, a facility of Bensenville Park District, offers outdoor dining on the patio, where a monthly concert series is set this summer and fall.

The other listed appetizers mainly stuck to the typical bar food game plan – quesadillas and pulled pork sliders, among others. I spotted chicken and waffles, a favorite of mine, and almost ordered the dish as a main course. Maybe next time. Instead, I chose the Everything Burger, which piles guacamole, bacon, grilled onions, mushrooms, cheddar and American cheese on top of an impressive half-pound beef patty. It had a satisfying backyard-grilled taste, perfect

Comfort foods tempt appetites at 37 Bar & Grill, including the satisfying Everything Burger, accompanied by crinkle-cut fries. for a summer evening and a cold drink. The bacon was delicious, and the brioche bun held up well under the weight. The guacamole was a little overly creamy for my taste. Like other sandwiches on the menu, the burger is served with your choice of wide, crinkle-cut fries or homemade chips. I went with the fries, which were perfect. My friend opted for the

house-made chips, which were crisp and fresh, to go with his chicken Parmesan sandwich on pillowy ciabatta. He realized too late that the marinara sauce was missing. That small misstep aside, 37 Bar & Grill appears to be accomplishing what it set out to do – drawing the public in to watch sports, feast on generous portions at reasonable prices, and enjoy the scenery.

n Where: White Pines Golf

LEM • Friday, June 27, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

BENSENVILLE – On a recent evening, I visited White Pines Golf Club with my appetite in tow instead of a nine iron. I’m not much of a golfer, and my favorite sport is probably eating, so I was tempted by a new menu designed by Executive Chef Rich Mancini, a recent contestant on FOX’s “Hell’s Kitchen,” and former winner of “Chef Wanted” on the Food Network. I quickly came to realize the dishes at the golf course’s new restaurant, 37 Bar & Grill, fit the sports bar vibe and don’t reveal the obvious touch of a celebrity chef’s out-sized personality, which, to be honest, isn’t always necessary. Especially, when the clientele includes golfers hungry for a good meal and a cold beer before heading home. As such, the drink menu has a handful of craft beer selections, including a local option from Itasca’s Church Street Brewing Company, in addition to the regular suds and spirits. The new spot has a big advantage over dark and TVlit sports bar brethren – the entire west wall of the establishment is a window facing the idyllic golf course. On a beautiful afternoon, diners opting to sit outside have an even better view of the greens, ponds and nearby fountain. As my friend and I settled into our indoor seats and browsed the menu, a steady flow of duffers streamed in from the fairways. The salads sounded good, but we went right for the buffalo wings from the appetizer menu, betting we’d be able to handle the spiciest option: coined “inferno.” By the time we were dunking the red-hot chicken in ranch and blue cheese dressing, nearly every table in the place was full. The wings were a standout. They were hot, but not insanely so, and obviously prepared fresh with a perfect crispiness to the skin and a

ALL-AREA BASEBALL MVP

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com

n SCHOOL: Lemont n YEAR: Senior n POSITION: Pitcher n COLLEGE: LSU n 2014 STATS: 10-0 record,

114 strikeouts in 62 1/3 innings The lefty allowed a total of two earned runs on the year, compiling an ERA of 0.23, while striking out just under two batters per inning (114 strikeouts in 62 1/3 innings). His control also was pinpoint as he walked just 12 batters. “It was definitely something where I set the bar high before the season,” the lefty said, “and set goals that were not that realistic. But they kind of came true this year and it was because of hard work and preparation between starts. I don’t want to say that I wasn’t surprised, but the hard work paid off.” Latz pointed to the mental side of pitching, like not letting a walk or close pitch bother him, as an area of improvement from his earlier years on the mound. Indians’ head coach Brian Storako also cited his continued maturation. “He became more of a pitcher,” Storako said. “Last year, he tried to blow it by everybody. This season, he worked his other pitchers into the mix. He varied speeds and became more of a pitcher. “What makes him special is his ability to handle pressure and work out of situations that most high school pitchers can’t. And it’s not just what he does on the mound, it is how hard he works. Some guys that are talented aren’t always the hardest workers, they get by on just talent, [but not him].”

LMR

LEMONT – After a spring baseball season that included a 10-0 record and a program-best ERA, one might expect Jake Latz to get a little bit of downtime. Guess again. Instead, just one day after tossing a complete-game in Lemont’s 2-1 victory over Sacred Heart-Griffin in the Class 3A state title game on June 14, Latz and teammate Mike Papierski were on the road to Louisiana State University to begin the next chapter of their lives. This summer, the recent high school graduate is taking two classes (kinesiology and a Microsoft Office class) while also working out with LSU’s baseball team. “This is something that when I committed two years ago [to LSU], I wanted to be a part of it,” Latz said. “It’s a great experience. The summer will be a little bit of a grind, as well as the fall, but I’m excited. I’m ready.” In early June, Latz was selected in the 11th-round of the Major League Baseball draft by the Toronto Blue Jays (who also picked Papierski), but his dream of pitching in pro ball can wait a few years. “It definitely is something I’ve wanted to reach ever since I was a kid,” he said, “so when I got the opportunity, it was hard to turn down. I just felt like I needed to get three years down at college first and to get that experience in; see if I can improve on what I did this year and try to go higher in the draft in three years.” As for the recently completed spring, Latz’s eye-popping personal statistics coincided perfectly with Lemont’s storybook campaign, which ended with the first championship in program history.

Meet the all-area baseball team Here’s Suburban Life Media’s 2014 selection Summer baseball already is in full swing, but it’s not too late to look back on the stars of the spring season.

Here are some of the top players from local schools who comprise the 2014 baseball all-area team.

Joe Becht

Don Buonavolanto

Kevin Coppin

Charlie Donovan

Ryan Haff

Jake Latz

Zach Moran

School: Downers Grove South Year: Senior Impact: The Santa Clara-bound shortstop played with relentless energy and finished the year with a .432 batting average, 25 RBIs and a team-high 42 runs scored. Was named to the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association all-area team.

School: Hinsdale South Year: Senior Impact: The Hornets’ defensive centerpiece at shortstop got it done both in the field, where he played nearly flawlessly, and at the plate, where he was a key cog in the lineup. Will continue his career at Northern Illinois.

School: Lisle Year: Senior Impact: The Lions’ co-captain was also their leading hitter. The IHSBCA all-area team member batted .438 with 28 runs scored and 35 RBIs, all team highs, and he struck out just eight times on the spring while playing solid defense at shortstop.

School: Westmont Year: Junior Impact: The Sentinels’ shortstop hit for average (.500) and power (six home runs, four triples, 47 RBIs), and could fly around the bases (50 runs scored). The Michigan recruit was an IHSBCA all-state selection in Class 2A.

School: Hinsdale Central Year: Senior Impact: Central’s shortstop was in the heart of the lineup all season and hit .396 with 28 RBIs and a team-high 40 runs scored. After the season, he was named to the IHSBCA all-area team.

School: Lemont Year: Senior Impact: To say that this senior lefty had a dominant season is a bit of an understatement. Latz allowed just two earned runs on the season, compiling a perfect 10-0 record. Working 62 1/3 innings, he yielded just 30 hits while striking out 114.

School: Westmont Year: Senior Impact: Moran earned Westmont coach D.J. Cocks’ trust and emerged as the Sentinels’ staff ace. He was the victor in the Sentinels’ supersectional win and started the state semifinal game. Went 7-2 with a save and a 1.50 ERA.

Honorable mention

Mike Papierski

Joe Provenzano

Danny Spinuzza

Zac Taylor

Chris Whelan

Mike Wisz

School: Lemont Year: Senior Impact: Along with providing stellar defense behind the plate, this senior switch-hitter was a main cog in the Indians’ offense. The LSU recruit batted .410 with 12 doubles, three triples and eight home runs to go along with 30 RBIs and 42 runs.

School: Downers Grove North Year: Senior Impact: Switching positions from third base to shortstop didn’t hinder Provenzano’s offensive production. The IHSBCA all-area team selection and threeyear varsity starter hit .462 with 38 runs scored and 21 RBIs.

School: Downers Grove South Year: Senior Impact: At the plate, Spinuzza was solid with a .389 average, 15 runs and 20 RBIs. On the mound, he was sparkling with an 8-2 record, 1.60 ERA and just 20 walks issued in a team-high 61 innings pitched.

School: Downers Grove South Year: Senior Impact: The spark at the top of the Mustangs’ order, Taylor stole a team-high 32 bases this season; he was only caught twice. He batted .387 with 40 runs scored, and on the mound he went 8-1 with a 1.86 ERA.

School: Benet Year: Senior Impact: A repeat pick on the East Suburban Catholic all-conference team and an IHSBCA all-state selection in Class 3A, the Bradley-bound Whelan hit .434 with 26 RBIs and 31 runs scored.

School: Lemont Year: Senior Impact: Headed to the University of Houston, this senior put up monstrous numbers for Lemont. The shortstop topped the team with his .471 batting average and he also contributed 10 doubles, five home runs, 38 RBIs and 37 runs.

Benet: Joe Boyle and Connor Hickey Bolingbrook: Tuf Borland and Demarco Mong Downers Grove North: Matt Bohanon and Ray Greco Downers Grove South: Danny Oriente, Chris Pedrak and Ryan Taylor Hinsdale Central: Austin Butler and Mike Johnson Hinsdale South: Mike Mullaney Lemont: Jake Terrazas and Charlie Wright Lisle: Cliff Krause and George Swedie Westmont: Tommy Franczak and John Kelly
