LEMONT – The Lemont Fire Protection District Board of Trustees approved the contract for Battalion Chief George Rimbo to take the reigns as the new chief during its June 20 meeting. His father, Rick Rimbo, is a member of the board of trustees and abstained from voting on his contract approval. The rest of the board voted in favor of his approval. Rimbo, 44, will start the new position July 18. The contract is for one year and $125,000. Within the year, he will be up for evaluation. “I’m humbled that you chose me,” Rimbo said. “I look forward to all the possibilities with becoming the next fire chief.” Rimbo first joined the department as a firefighter when he was 19 and has served as a battalion chief for four years. The final three candidates were within the district. “We as a board are very proud that all the candidates came from within,” said President Victoria Cobbett. Outgoing Fire Chief Carl Churulo endorsed Rimbo as the most qualified of the three, board member Michael Kasperski said. “The chief basically pointed out George as the one,” Kasperski said. Churulo said he has gotten to know Rimbo, who works 40hour weeks as a training safety officer. He has seen how well he works with other departments and is impressed with his

Lemont police seek federal funding for full-time officer in D-113A BY DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com

TURNABOUT
LEMONT - The Village of Lemont and the Lemont Police Department have applied for a grant with the U.S. Department of Justice to fund a full-time school resource officer at Old Quarry Middle School. The COPS Hiring Program grant would be for three years and as much as $125,000. During a presentation at the Lemont-Bromberek Community School District 113A Board of Education meeting June 19, Lemont Police Chief Kevin Shaughnessy said the officer would provide a law enforcement presence, education for students and a resource for staff. “Having one person who is a go-to person in your school will benefit the school and the community,” he said. The officer would be a conduit for all schools in the district, but would be primarily involved with the middle school, Shaughnessy said. Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves, who was also at the meeting, said that having an officer at the school is crucial even if a grant is not awarded. He said that a frequent communication he receives from Lemont residents is “asking
Role of the school resource officer The website School Safety Net breaks down the job description of a student resource officer: • Provide law enforcement and police services to the school • Work to prevent juvenile delinquency through close contact and positive relationships with students • Establish and maintain a close partnership with school administrators in order to provide a safe school environment • Be visible within the school community • Develop and implement classes in law-related education to support the education efforts of the faculty • Work with guidance counselors and other student support staff to assist students and to provide services to students • Initiate interaction with students, promote the profession of police officer and be a positive role model
for police presence on a fulltime basis at the schools.” Shaughnessy said the timing of the application for the grant has nothing to do with the bomb threat at Old Quarry Middle School in March. The national trend has veered
towards having student resource officers in middle schools, he said. Lemont High School has had a student resource officer for about 15 years, according to Shaughnessy. He said the fact that there is a squad car at the high school every day doesn’t create any apprehension for the parents. However, parents for District 113A students think there is something wrong when they see a car at their schools, even if it is for something routine such as a DARE class. “The idea of having police around as an expectation, I think, will benefit the overall concern of parents, too,” Shaughnessy said. According to the Department of Justice website, the grant announcement is expected on Sept. 30. Shaughnessy is optimistic that the application will be approved, given the department’s success in earning past grants. Superintendent Susan Birkenmaier wrote a letter of support for the grant bid. “Any additional assistance we can receive from the Village of Lemont and the police department to support students and staff is welcome,” she said.

Irritable Bowel, Celiac, Crohn’s or Colitis? 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? 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.”
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

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. 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. 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.
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.
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.
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.

Brothers in Scouting: Siblings complete Eagle Scout projects Third time’s the charm for Lemont Scout Boy Scout comes to rescue of animal shelter in Bolingbrook BY DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com
LEMONT – When he joined the Cub Scouts in first grade, Kevin Leahy set the goal to become an Eagle Scout. “I have three older cousins who are all Eagle Scouts ,and it really made me want to achieve that,” he said. Leahy had two Eagle Scout projects fall through before he completed renovations to the conference room at Lemont United Methodist Church. That project took three revisions and a yearand-a-half of planning to complete. The renovations, which were conducted April 5 to 14, included framing and dry walling the concrete block room, installing closets and shelves, staining and hanging the wainscoting and

LEMONT – When Boy Scout Troop 49 member Brian Leahy of Lemont chose to help the Humane Haven Animal Shelter in Bolingbrook for his Eagle Scout project, the timing could not have been better. While Leahy was seeking approval from the Boy Scouts to collect kitty litter and dog food for the shelter, an April storm flooded the shelter, causing it to be evacuated. The animals were safely rescued, but the shelter lost

all of its supplies. “I was pretty surprised when I heard it had been flooded, and excited,” Leahy said. “Excited that I could do something about it.” Leahy canvassed Lemont with notices about his collection and arranged a shop-and-drop at Pet Supplies Plus in Bolingbrook. The project was completed June 8. Leahy collected 805 pounds of kitty litter, 815 pounds of dog food, 31 pounds of cat food and 31 pounds of kitten food.

Why the Lemont Park District matters to me I can’t believe it’s been more than 25 years since I saw the need for Early Childhood programs in the community. Starting as a part-time district employee, I moved forward to help create original and imaginative programs and classes specifically designed for young children. I knew I was meant to do this. I simply loved planning, implementing and marketing programs and classes that enrich young children, enabling them to grow and learn. I am pleased to report that the Early Childhood program COMMUNITY category, which previously VOICE had zero offerings, now has more than 70 options. Pam In 2009, I secured a fullCarter time position at the Lemont Park District, heading up preschool and Early Childhood programming. I love that I have a hand in helping make priceless memories for so many children in the community. A few weeks ago, we hosted the annual preschool graduation programs at the district. Every year, I get to see the talented individuals, essential members of our preschool program, shine as they perform in the show. Seeing their smiling faces is an incredibly heartfelt experience. I also am extremely lucky to have a staff of phenomenal teachers – they are truly top notch. My experience at the Lemont Park District has varied widely, from senior programming to summer camps to creating and implementing special events such as Breakfast with Santa and Daddy Daughter Date Night. I also launched the Walkers Club – a program specifically designed for participants older than 55 who enjoy walking at the LPD’s CORE indoor track. I am pleased to lead the district’s Guest Services Committee, which concentrates on impeccable customer service. I was incredibly honored when my peers nominated me for the South Suburban Parks & Recreation Professional Association’s “Professional of the Year” award in 2013. LPD is truly a great place to be every day. I hope everyone has a fantastic summer and can enjoy the special events we have on tap. Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing each and every one of you!
Pam Carter is the recreation supervisor and preschool head for the Lemont Park District.

Andrew Arvans of Lemont volunteered to ride the waves of appreciation for the Lemont High School Cheer Team during the annual Keepataw Days Parade in downtown Lemont. The Keepataw Days organizers recently held a fundraiser to prevent the annual event from being canceled.
The organizers of Lemont’s Keepataw Days Festival recently hosted the Family Fun Fest fundraiser to raise money to keep the yearly festival alive. Lemont Township also played a part in the execution of the fundraiser. It’s heartening to see the community come together in an effort to save a beloved local event. The Lemont Center for the Arts currently is accepting submissions for its first juried show. We’re happy to see the arts gain momentum in Lemont as the center expands its horizons.

DDS vs. MD Hey, just to clarify the ongoing debate about the letters DDS that a dentist earns: DDS stands for doctor of dental surgery, MD stands for a medical doctor. A doctor of dental surgery is referred to as a dentist A medical doctor, doctor of medicine, is referred to as a physician. So if someone is running for office that is a doctor of dental surgery, they have every right to use the title “doctor.”
Long shoelaces Why are shoelaces so darn long? They’re too long to tighten them when you’re tying them and so you have to loosen them and then you end up having to retie them again. It’s on sports shoes mainly.
Unsafe go-karts This is to the parents of the kids with the go-kart in Downers Grove. You really need to know what your kids are up to. It is not cool when they’re driving across people’s lawns. I also don’t believe it is safe or legal for them to be riding down the street.
DDS vs. MD, part II A dentist is a DDS, which means doctor of dental science. “Ph.D.” means doctor of philosophy, in a given field. MD means doctor of medicine; and EDD means doctor of education. The individuals holding these and many other earned doctoral degrees are all correctly addressed as “doctor.” What is the problem here?
Enough with the chickens Enough with the chickens already. Hasn’t the Village Board wasted enough time on this silly subject, and does the La Grange

DuPage River now clean after project By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com Nearly two decades ago, the DuPage River was filled with radioactive sludge, invasive species, erosion and more. Finally, after eight and a half years of work, the river has regained much of its former glory. The work was accomplished through a joint effort between the DuPage Forest Preserve District, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, DuPage and Will counties, Warrenville, the Warrenville Park District and Kerr-McGee, the latest owners of the property that caused much of the damage. “I don’t know when the realization that radioactive material was not a good thing happened, but there was a lot of it in the area,” Forest Preserve Ecologist Jessi DeMartini said. In the 1930s, the Rare Earths facility in West Chicago extracted rare elements from the ground to collect ores, including the naturally occurring radioactive element thorium. It created “sand tails,” or radioactive waste, which piled up behind the factory for decades. That eventually ran off into the nearby Kress Creek. “If something is dumped in West Chicago, it goes

downstream,” said Brook McDonald, president of the Conservation Foundation. “It eventually ran all over the DuPage River.” While the levels were minimally harmfully to humans - DeMartini said “you would basically have to wallow in it for 30 years or ingest it to get cancer” – the EPA and local communities felt they still should remove it in the early 1990s. As the agencies went up and down the creek, creating more than 19,000 soil borings to assess the contamination level, they realized the effort must have a wide scope – up to 8.2 miles required work. As the scale became clear, said John Oldenburg, director of the Office of Natural Resources in the Forest District, in a presentation recently, an opportunity presented itself to “rebuild it from the riverbed up.” “It was a huge opportunity to try and incorporate a naturalization and diversity of a river system that was basically considered impaired by the EPA already,” DeMartini said. “Not just because of the thorium, but because it was also a highly urbanized system. “We just took what was going to happen and turned it around into something positive, supportive and sustain-
able for aquatic organisms and for the aesthetics of the area and recreation.” In 2005, work began to reconstruct the riverbed. Several dams that had stockpiled thorium were taken down, the riverbed itself was “re-sculpted” and multiple natural fish and plant species were reintroduced. More than 20 acres of wetlands were created across the river floodplain to establish new habitats and store floodwater, DeMartini said. But the project isn’t over yet, she said. The next phase will include work on a threemile stretch of the riverbank in the McDowell Grove Forest Preserve. The work will be partially funded by a $1.37 million grant from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. In addition, the agency will continue to monitor the health of the water system and introduce new fish and invertebrates. DeMartini said it truly was a joint effort, crediting construction company Sevenson Environmental and Wills Berk Halsey Engineering for offering the resources the river needed to recover. “You put the spirit, the art, the biology and the ecology together and you let the river work with what you give it,” she said. “We just gave it gifts and let the river sort itself out over time.”

Restaurant reviews
Ivy a sparkling setting for culinary gem WHEATON – One of Wheaton’s historic buildings was most recently reimagined as a fine-dining restaurant for steaks, chops and seafood in 2009, providing a unique setting for Ivy and its delicious fare. On a recent Sunday afternoon, we stepped inside the brick building covered in the ivy that lends the restaurant its name. Outside is an elegant, foliage-filled patio, but a light rain prompted us indoors, where we were surprised to discover a spectacular space originally created as a chapel early in the last century, then converted to retail uses before its latest incarnation. A soaring cathedral ceiling directs the eye skyward, where balconies lead to added dining areas for parties. High on the patio-side wall above multiple French doors providing green views are small, stained-glass windows where light filters softly through the leaves. It’s an exquisite setting for a meal. We asked to be seated next to the fireplace and warmed up with a glass of wine. Our personable server kindly volunteered a tasting when he noticed my indecision on the selections. My dining companion opted for a craft beer on draft. Soon, a delectable and still-warm loaf of bread was delivered to the table, accompanied by butter melded with a hint of honey. We shared a cup of clam chowder that ranks among the best we’ve enjoyed, bursting with homemade flavor in the perfectly balanced seafood and vegetable pairing. The menu tempted with Gorgonzola Crusted Lamb Chops with mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus and a port wine demi-glace; Diver Scallops pan seared and served with leek and fennel compote with sambuca butter sauce; and Savory Peach Chicken, a spicy blackened chicken breast with polenta cakes, sauteed spinach and peach chutney When I learned the house ribs special was such a hit that it recently was made a permanent part of the menu, I went for the half slab. Generously meaty, fall-off-the-bone pork ribs were served with a tasty barbecue sauce with a little heat to it. The seasoned fries were good, and my companion noted there’s even a little zip to the cole slaw. He selected the shaved prime rib sandwich featuring generous slices

BOYS VOLLEYBALL 4: Increase in victories within the South Suburban Conference this spring compared to a season ago. Lemont finished 7-7 in league play in 2013. Highlight: For a relatively young Indians program, the 2013 season was a major step in the right direction. With every starter back from 2012, Lemont wrapped up the spring with a 17-15 overall record. More importantly, after winning their first-ever regional match last season, the Indians picked up a pair of postseason victories this time around before losing 27-25, 31-29 to Plainfield East in the Bolingbrook regional final. Mike Krueger topped the Indians with 323 kills. Adam Strube totaled 150 digs and Ryan Leadley dished out 587 assists.
BOYS TENNIS 22: Points scored by the Indians at the Joliet West sectional, which resulted in the team’s first-ever sectional championship. Highlight: May 18 turned out to be a memorable day for Lemont’s boys tennis program, which captured its first sectional title after sitting atop the standings at the Joliet West event. Sophomore Nick Urban qualified for the state meet in singles after placing third while the doubles team of Alex Vasic and Jake Smagacz also moved on courtesy of their third-place showing.

Charlie Wright pitches a complete-game win May 7 at Oak Forest.
BASEBALL 236: Strikeouts recorded by Lemont’s pitching staff in only 195.2 innings of work. Staff leaders were Jake Latz (78) and Cody Caballero (46). Highlight: In Lemont’s first season under head coach Brian Storako,
the Indians dominated the South Suburban Blue conference and claimed the outright title. The squad finished 18-1 in league play, and individually, Mike Papierski was selected as the conference player of the year. Notching 23 wins on the spring, Lemont lost, 3-0, to eventual Class 3A state champion Joliet Catholic in the regional final.

SOFTBALL .390: Lemont’s team batting average this spring. The Indians were led by Rylie Jay (.584), Carly Jaworski (.425), Rachel Hall (.400) and Anna Smagacz (.400). Highlight: Behind a complete-game, two-hit pitching performance from Carly Jaworski, Lemont captured the outright South Suburban Blue conference title with a 1-0 victory over Oak Forest. Finishing 17-2 in league play, the Indians went on to capture the Queen of Peace regional title with a 4-0 win over the host school; Jaworski allowed three hits while striking out 11. The young squad, which featured just three seniors on the roster, advanced to the Nazareth sectional final where they lost, 6-5, to eventual Class 3A state champion Glenbard South.

GIRLS SOCCER 3: State trophies captured by the Indians in the past five years. In that span, Lemont has finished second, third and fourth. Highlight: A young Indians squad entered the 2013 season with few expectations but that quickly changed after going 10-2-2 in April. Cruising to another South Suburban Blue conference title before notching regional and sectional championships, Lemont played arguably its best game in the May 28 supersectional. The Indians emerged with a 3-1 victory over host Normal West behind goals from Reilley Sullivan, Nicole McKevitt and Madelyn Bermele.
Hub Arkush to cover Bears football for Shaw Media By SHAW MEDIA Hub Arkush, longtime editor and publisher of Pro Football Weekly and senior football analyst with WSCR-670 The Score in Chicago, has been hired by Shaw Media to cover the Bears for its daily, weekly and digital publications. Beginning in mid-July, Arkush will provide daily Bears news and analysis to Shaw Media publications, including Crystal Lake-based Northwest Herald, the Daily Chronicle in DeKalb, the Kane County Chronicle and Sauk Valley Media in Sterling and Dixon. Arkush’s work also will
be featured in dozens of Shaw Media’s weekly publications, including the Suburban Life weeklies in DuPage, Will and suburban Cook counties, and the Lake County Journal. Shaw Media also will launch HubArkush.com, which will include breaking Bears and NFL news and blogs, video analysis from Arkush and other Shaw reporters, photo slideshows and more. “We are thrilled to have Hub joining our team,” said John Rung, president of Shaw Media. “He is a veteran journalist and one of the nation’s most respected pro football experts. We are confident Hub’s
comprehensive package of content – combined with the football analysis provided by other Shaw reporters – will be of tremendous value to our readers and advertisers.” A veteran NFL analyst, Arkush joined Pro Football Weekly in 1976 and became editor and publisher in 1979. At its peak, Pro Football Weekly was the largest NFL publication in the country with more than 750,000 readers. Arkush, an award-winning broadcaster, was hired by the Chicago Bears Radio Network in 1987 to be color commentator during Bears game broadcasts, a position he held until 2004. He currently is a senior
football analyst on the Score and a sideline reporter and NFL Insider on Dial Global Sports’ national radio broadcasts of NFL games. He’s also hosted, written and edited several TV shows dedicated to the Bears and the NFL. Pro Football Weekly On TV, which began in 1988 on NBC, is now broadcast by Comcast Sports Net. “Watching, analyzing, reporting on and writing and talking about pro football has been my passion for over 30 years, and the opportunity to join Shaw Media and focus my work where I’ve lived my whole life on the team I grew up following is a dream come
true,” Arkush said. “I am extremely impressed by the brand of journalism practiced by the folks at Shaw, and I couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity to join their team.” Mitch Rosen, program director at 670 The Score, praised Shaw for hiring Arkush. “The name Hub Arkush is synonymous with professional football,” Rosen said. “Hub is a brand that transcends knowledge, insight, and opinion when talking about the NFL. When Hub is on the air for a pre-game show, talk show, or segment report, he brings great energy and insight like no one else in the business.”
