Pilarski said that was exciting for the team because it made them feel like they were famous. The meet brought its share excitement, as the Lemont team members cheered each other on to five first-place finishes. For Pilarski, one moment best summed up why Special Olympics is important. Sophomore Nick Giedraitis was nervous in the moments leading up to the 100-meter run, as he waited for the race to start and see his parents in the stands.

Q: If you had the Stanley Cup for one day, what would you do with it? “I would hold it and run around the street with it.”

“Them knowing there’s someone proud of them, it means the world for them,” she said. Some team members qualified for the state Special Olympics competition, but all of them opted out of participating. Pilarski said this probably was because of the short notice and that she will make sure to let them know about the state games ahead of time next year. Pilarski also wants to get more sponsors in the future, specifically to buy shoes for the team.

LEMONT – Lemont High School’s Special Olympics team racked up 15 top-five finishes at a regional event in May at Thornwood High School. The team’s success at the meet would not have been possible without help from classmates, teachers, the community and the Lemont Police Department. Margie Pilarski, the firstyear coach of the team and a special education teacher at Lemont High School, said volunteering for the Special Olympics is a rewarding experience. “You see the kids reach a goal that they wanted,” she said. “It just fills your heart up, too.” Pilarski volunteered for Special Olympics with her family while growing up and said she always wanted to be a coach, so she jumped at the opportunity to coach the team this year. Preparation for the meet started after spring break. Coaches introduced participants to the events, and team members each chose two events to compete in. Volunteers helped team members learn rules and encourage one another. Coaches timed runs and measured throws to submit to the meet organizers so the competitors would be put in an appropriate category. Businesses and community members helped by donating T-shirts, hats, athletic apparel and signs. On the day of the meet, the team was surprised with

Business manager accepts new contract from D-113A By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Lemont-Bromberek Community School District 113A has agreed to a new one-year contract with Business Manager Barbara Germany, who previously announced she was leaving the district for a job in Peotone during the Board of Education’s June 19 meeting.

The board voted, 5-2, in favor of the contract during an emergency meeting June 28. The new contract started Monday. “I’m absolutely thrilled at the opportunity,” Germany said. “Just to be able to continue to work with the community on the path toward financial excellence and continued student achievement.” The details of the contract

are not available. “We countered the offer because she is an excellent employee, and it would probably have cost us more to bring in an interim,” President Cindy Kelly said. Vice President Dave Molitor and board member David Deitemyer voted against the contract. “It wasn’t the contract, but more the process,” Molitor

said when asked why he voted no. Molitor said the board was not breaking any local or state policies, but that it is normal procedure for the superintendent to make a recommendation to the board on who should fill the position in such a situation. He said the board had to speed up the process because Germany’s contract was set to

expire Monday. Superintendent Susan Birkenmaier was on vacation the week the vote took place, although she attended the emergency meeting. Although he voted against the contract, Molitor said he was happy with the result of Germany being offered the position. “I believe Mrs. Germany is a great fit for this district,” he said.

Keepataw Days fundraising off to good start with Family Fun Fest By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Organizers of the Family Fun Fest in Lemont said the event was moderately successful, although a storm cut the last day short.

The event, June 21 to 23 on the grounds of Lemont Township, 16300 Alba St., was a fundraising effort for the annual Keepataw Days festival and parade, which is Labor Day weekend. Keepataw Days Vice President Wendy Peebles said

Law Office of

Michelle J. Jacobs-Caley

she will not know how much money they made from the weekend until they get the bill from the Lemont Police Department for security services. But by her estimate, she thought they “did OK.” “We didn’t lose any money,” she said. Peebles said attendees expressed interest in joining the Keepataw Days committee. The next fundraising step is a sponsorship letter drive, she said. Keepataw Days President

Mike Carey said he wanted to see more people at the event, but those who attended seemed to enjoy it. “They liked the setup. They liked the location,” he said. Lemont Township Facilities Director Kathy Henrikson said the event was a success from the township’s perspective because it drew awareness to the Community Center and township programs. Henrikson said Sunday could have been the best-at-

tended day, but approaching storms affected the turnout. Carey said the biggest thing event organizers need to do if they want to repeat the event next year is to better publicize it. Henrikson agreed and said the festival also may have been hindered by other events during the weekend “I think we can work together to do a better job to coordinate,” Henrikson said, of avoiding competition with other events in the future.

LEM • Friday, July 5, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Reporter/Met

LEMONT – When discussing his new position as village administrator for Lemont, George Schafer said one of his immediate challenges would be overseeing many staffing changes in the village. In June, the village of Lemont named a new village administrator and building commissioner and hired a new village planner. The Lemont Police Department saw three officers retire that month, in addition to one who had retired a couple of months earlier. They hired three new officers from the Illinois State Police Academy and hired one more from another town. The village administrator and building commissioner were promoted from within the village, which Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves said is beneficial in multiple ways. “Everybody has a strong understanding of what needs to take place in the village,” he said. Hiring from within also saves the village money on the search process. “When people leave, lots of times in management roles, villages will do searches with employment agencies,”

Reaves said. Reaves, who also works as president of Integrated Warehouse Systems, said he will spend more time in the administrative office during the next 90 days to help with the transition. “The nice part is it’s summer,” he said. “There is a bit of a slowdown.” For the police department, hiring four officers is unprecedented in Chief Kevin Shaughnessy’s 10 years with the department. “It’s highly unusual for a small department to hire so many at one time,” he said. The department is made up of 28 full-time officers, including the chief, two commanders, four sergeants, three detectives and 18 patrol officers. The new officers are on an 18-month probation period that includes 10 weeks of field training with daily evaluations, followed by monthly evaluations. Although the department will face challenges training four officers at the same time, Shaughnessy also has seen a new energy in the department as LPD moves past recent staff reductions and budget cuts. “Now we’re starting to bring more people on board,” he said. “It’s a good feeling.”

Eventually, they found a home in Wheaton and now he is taking ESL classes to get into a mechanic course and translate some of his Christian poetry into English. Grey said that in addition to proximity to a large city, job opportunities and cheaper housing, the positive community environment for immigrants and refugees is a big part of the recent boom in the DuPage County immigrant population. “Unfortunately, there are a lot of immigrants who are invisible and still need help, and that’s something we as a nation, a county and a city need to think about,” she said.

Now she lives in Stone Park and is using resources at World Relief and Wheaton’s People’s Resource Center. “I hope these classes will help me get a better job,” she said. “My supervisor says ‘Dalia, you need a higher position, but you need to speak English more.’ So I’m working.” World Relief works with places such as the PRC and more than 75 area churches to provide a range of services, including ESL classes, job placement and training, a food pantry, computer classes and nonprofit legal counseling.

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com WHEATON – A divorced woman from Mexico. A 75-yearold accountant who lived blocks from the presidential palace of Saddam Hussein during the American invasion. A Sudanese refugee who escaped war with her husband and 9-yearold son. A Bhutanese man who spent 18 years in a United Nations tent in Nepal. These are not just nameless and faceless people – they are residents of DuPage County. “A lot of people don’t realize that,” Emily Grey, the executive director of World Relief DuPage, said. “Many people think that immigrants in the state are in Chicago. Really, 56 percent live in the Chicago suburbs, not in the city.” According to 2011 census numbers from the county, 18.4 percent of residents in DuPage are born in a foreign country. World Relief, a nonprofit that provides services to refugees and immigrants, has worked with 7,500 people from 125 countries in the past three years. Sara Anil, the mother from Sudan, said that she left her country in 1999 to escape the violence that has torn apart the region. “We left Sudan to save our lives,” she said. She and her family reached Egypt, where they sought asylum at the U.N. They spent nearly two years there before being placed in the U.S. Despite not knowing where the U.S. was, the family chose to go to Chicago because Anil had heard about it in school. A World Relief volunteer who knew Arabic met the family at the airport and the agency arranged for them to receive English classes and, eventually, jobs. But the transition to Glendale Heights was difficult. “It’s very hard, but there are more opportunities,” Delia Lopez said. She came to the U.S. from Mexico in 1994 to visit her brothers and decided to stay, despite her father’s wishes. She eventually got married, although her now-ex-husband

What it means to be Muslim on Fourth of July To truly love God, Islam requires one to love his nation. The Holy Quran instructs the Muslims to “obey those who are in authority over you” (4:60). While the Holy Prophet of Islam advocated that “obedience to the law of the land is a part of faith.” In extreme cases where there are prohibitive conditions for Muslims to practice their faith and possibly where they are persecuted because of their faith, Islam still holds fast to the principles of peace and advises Muslims to migrate from such places and move to other countries where they can practice their faith peacefully. This was the example of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) who was bitterly persecuted in Mecca for 13 years before he migrated to Medina. Today, members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community are brutally persecuted in Pakistan just because of their faith, but they are holding this principle of loyalty to homeland firmly. Whatever area they work in, they are engaged to help the nation prosper. In the USA also, American Ahmadi Muslims are not behind in any way to show loyalty to this great nation. Whether it’s through Humanity First or ‘Muslims for life’ campaign, we are busy in helping the victims of natural disasters or donating blood

Pavers in D-99 lots? I just wanted to comment about District 99 putting in brick paver parking lots. With this unstable economy, you would think they might think a little more about putting in asphalt, maybe conserve a little bit or save money. And then they might have money left over to get a jacuzzi for the teachers. Just wanted everyone’s opinions on that,

and I think it’s ridiculous we’re spending so much money when we could have done asphalt and saved some money.

Admission is $5 for residents 6 and older and free for children 5 and younger. Shuta said proceeds from the festival will be donated to Kiwanis Club of Lisle, Lisle Lions Club, Lisle Partners for Parks, Lisle Area Chamber of Commerce and the Lisle Education Foundation. A new addition to the festival this year is the Mobile Mountain. In the

children’s area, this series of apparatus includes a climbing wall, bounce house, slides and a water challenge. Pam Shuta, also a festival organizer, said this year the festival will have more than 20 hot air balloons, and about six of the balloons will be uniquely shaped, including one from the musical “Wicked.” Each day of the festival, the balloons will take flight, weather permitting, at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., and a balloon glow will be about 8:30 p.m. Pam Shuta said residents will be allowed onto the balloon field to take photos and talk to pilots. Tethered balloon rides also are available in the mornings and evenings on a first-come, first-serve basis. Rides are $20 for adults and $15 for children, and are east of the bridge on Short Street outside the fes-

tival entrance. The nation’s first wheelchair-accessible hot air balloon, named Serena’s Song, will provide rides to children and adults with disabilities at the festival, as well. To reserve a flight, contact SEASPAR at seaspar.org or 630-960-7600. “It’s very cool to be up there and feel like you are floating,” Pam Shuta said. “It’s an experience you don’t have every day.” She added that bands at the festival will include American English, Ambrosia and Chicago 6, which features former Chicago Bears and 1985 Super Bowl champions Dan Hampton, Otis Wilson and Steve McMichael. Festival parking will be $5 at designated locations and will include a shuttle to and from the festival.

Restaurant reviews

Baked Apple Breakfast Co. starts day off right DOWNERS GROVE – Does anyone not like breakfast? The popularity of diners would suggest that not only does everyone love breakfast, but patrons will eat it just about anytime – morning or night. The thought holds true at The Baked Apple Breakfast Co. in Downers Grove, where breakfast definitely is the specialty, and you can get your favorites right up until close at 3 p.m. The eatery’s menu is playful and inventive with options such as the Company omelette – apples, cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream – and Red Velvet pancakes with a sweet cream cheese spread. Diners also are treated to plenty of lunch options. Available any time, the luncheon menu includes a well-rounded range of sandwiches, salads, wraps and burgers. On a recent Saturday trip, a friend and I decided to tackle both. I ordered the Wild Turkey – a panini-style sandwich of thick-cut roast turkey, bacon and cheddar. The side options give you a choice between fries and pasta salad. It also comes with a pickle, as all sandwiches should. The turkey was moist and laid on deep, and the bacon retained a good crispiness, even under the pressed panini pressure. I’m glad I decided to go with the side of fries, because they absolutely stand out at Baked Apple. Long, thin and golden with a crispy crunch, these fried taters come in a bountiful bunch and really hit the spot. My dining companion was in the breakfast mood and ordered the Uncle Jesse omelette – spinach, tomato and feta cheese. He really was feeling the hash browns, which, like the fries, were wonderfully crisp, with just the right amount of soft potato inside. His omelette was bright yellow with colorful glints of spinach and nicely filled. It was a substantial serving, and to Baked Apple’s credit, he nearly finished it all. Neither of us was in the mood for sweets on our recent visit, which was too bad. The menu has a lot of options for those who like waffles, pancakes and French toast. A few I considered for another visit are the Holly Berry French toast smothered in strawberries, blueberries and raspberries; the Company

Chance to compete attracts Indians to passing-driven events By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT – At first glance, Lemont football doesn’t have much in common with the 7-on-7 summer competitions that have become so popular. The offense that helped turn the Indians into a football powerhouse is centered on running the football and play-action passes. Neither are staples of the 7-on-7 events, which feature all passing plays and no offensive linemen. That doesn’t mean head coach Eric Michaelsen and the Indians don’t get anything out of the events that are popping up all over Illinois. “We get to compete,” said Michaelsen, who added that Lemont was doing three allday competitions this summer and four or five smaller ones. “We can see how the kids compete and see how the kids act in stressful situations and in situations where they need to be coached.” Lemont has participated in 7-on-7s during Michaelsen’s 11-year tenure as coach, but he agrees they have become more prevalent. “Part of it is there are Matthew Piechalak – mpiechalak@shawmedia.com more teams with wide-open Lemont junior quarterback Ryan Dawson throws a pass during a 7-on-7 game against Downers Grove South offenses,” he said. “And the

other part of it, when everybody is doing it, it’s a ‘we better be doing it’ kind of thing.” This summer, the Indians have only one returning starter on offense and four on defense, so these experiences are valuable learning tools. “I think they are really fun,” said senior wide receiver Matt Monaco, “and they are a good opportunity for the younger kids, and the older kids for that matter, to get good practice against different offenses and defenses and against people you are not practicing against every day.” Lemont also gets to see teams they don’t normally play during the regular season. At the recent Joliet 7-on-7, the Indians went up against Sandburg and Bloomington. “We get to see looks out of defenses that we don’t normally see in our conference,” Monaco said. “And we go against bigger schools who have good athletes on their team. It’s a chance to get some good practice in.” The 7-on-7s also provide a distraction from the daily grind of summer camp. “It’s a way to break things up for us,” Michaelsen said. “We work the kids really hard, and the 7-on-7s are a change of pace.”

Hamann prepares to kick off for UIC soccer SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LEMONT – Recent graduate Kyle Hamann will continue his soccer career this fall at the University of Illinois-Chicago. A defender and four-year varsity contributor, Hamann totaled 30 career points for the Indians on 13 goals and four assists. Hamann was an allstate honoree as a senior. He enjoyed his finest season statistically as a senior, collecting a career-high 11 points on four goals and three assists. Also playing at the collegiate level will be forward

Tommy Gasienica (Illinois Institute of Technology) and defender Ray Stieber (Calvin College).

Giatras’ gridiron Chris Giatras will play football at Augustana College beginning this fall. Giatras ranks among the school’s career leaders with 42 total touchdowns (39 rushing, three receiving). He racked up 2,699 yards from scrimmage (2,367 rushing, 332 receiving) in three seasons and capped his career by earning all-conference honors.

As a senior, Giatras led the team with 1,592 yards rushing, averaging 6.2 yards on 257 carries. He also tallied a team-high 25 touchdowns, all of which came on the ground.

Next-level hoops Two former Lemont boys basketball standouts will continue their careers in college. Guard Juozas Balciunas will play at Weatherford (Texas) College while guard Joe Hehir is headed to Trinity Christian College. Balciunas was tabbed as a third-team all-state performer in 2012-13 after put-

ting together one of the best seasons ever by a Lemont basketball player. He averaged 19.9 points, 5.0 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 steals per game. Balciunas was named the tournament MVP both at the Lincoln-Way Holiday Classic and Romeoville Christmas Classic and earned all-conference honors. Hehir battled through injuries to make a solid contribution as a senior. Playing in 19 games, he averaged 10.7 points, 2.7 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 2.3 per game. He also shot 51.3 percent (81-158) from the field, and was tabbed

to the Romeoville Christmas Classic all-tournament team.

Diamond gems Recent graduates Billy Hayes (Mesa Community College) and Matt Kaminski (North Central College) each are committed to play college baseball. A left-handed hitting outfielder, Kaminski batted .464 with six doubles, 15 runs scored and 21 RBIs. Hayes served as the Indians’ primary catcher for much of the season and hit .301 with three doubles, two home runs and 17 RBIs.
