Attorney General: Public comment rule violates Open Meetings Act By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The Illinois Attorney General’s Office determined the Lemont Village Board is in violation of the Open Meetings Act when it requires residents to give a full home address when speaking during the public comment portion of meetings.

14 board meeting. In its decision, the attorney general’s office said the board is allowed to establish rules for public comment under the Open Meetings Act, but the board “did not establish or record a rule that a resident must provide a home address prior to providing public comment.” Further, the office said even if the board had established such a rule, it would be

in violation of the Open Meetings Act because “it is not reasonably related to providing meeting order or decorum, or ensuring that other speakers have the opportunity to address the public body.” Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves said the village will not appeal the decision. “Although we as the village do not agree with the outcome of the attorney general’s response,
we will abide by it,” he said. He said the village and other residents have a right to know whether the commenter is a resident. Knowing the resident’s address also can be useful for village helping specific issues the resident might have, he said. According to Reaves, there will not be any punishment or penalty for the village as a result of the decision.

borhood kids play baseball.” Phil Culinovic was one of those children who played there every day. “There were no parks in the old days,” he said. “Just the Virginia Reed Park, and that was on the other side of town.” He also remembers a helicopter that would land in the area behind the residences to deliver mail. When Lindgren died, the ownership went to Johnson’s mother, who later sold the land to the Park District. There were a couple of other residences on the land where the park is now, including one at 1123 McCarthy Road that also had a storefront. Johnson said her uncle owned the building and ran it as a grocery store. The Culinovic family bought the business in 1946,

LEMONT – The Lemont Park District announced last week that it will be working on a new master plan for Northview Park, which will be losing about 182 trees and replacing its playground equipment. It will not be the first time the site at 1115 McCarthy Road has seen an upheaval, having been the location of a business and residences before a tornado tore through the area. According to the Lemont Historical Society, the neighborhood surrounding the park used to be a Swedish neighborhood, referred to as “Clover Dell.” Lemont resident Norma Johnson, 93, said her uncle, John Lindgren, used to own the land where the heart of the park is now. The feature that has remained constant is the baseball field in the back, she said. “It was always used for baseball for many, many years,” she said. She said her uncle would let the neighborhood kids play ball there in exchange for cutting the grass. The baseball games became a gathering place for people in the neighborhood. “Years ago, there was no TV,” she said. “That’s what they did – they went to watch neigh-

which became Phil’s Grocery. Culinovic, whose father also was named Phil, said the grocery lasted until the late 1950s, when supermarkets came into town. The business then became a carry-out restaurant called White House Chicken. The Culinovic family owned the business until the tornado of 1976, which tore down the building and the other residences in that area. Culinovic said most of the homeowners chose not to rebuild their residences. His mother, Harriet, who had moved down the street years before the tornado, lived in Lemont until her death last year. The family dedicated a tree to her on the west end of the park. He said she had remained close friends with Johnson, who still lives in her family home across the street from the park. According to the Park District website, the land struck by the tornado was immediately deeded to the Park District. The Park District did major renovations to create the current park from 1987-89. Decades after she would play on the land as child, Johnson sees new generations enjoy the park. “It’s nice to see [the land] be used,” she said.

LHS goes with pizza feast for fundraiser By DAN FARNHAM
If you go
dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The Lemont High School Education Foundation is putting a new twist on its annual Food for Thought fundraiser. The theme of the event will be a Pizza Fest open to all ages from 5 to 9 p.m. Sept. 20 in Talcott Square. “I wish we could take the credit [for the idea],” said LHSEF member and event cochair Brenda Douglass. “We were told about this at a conference of other school foundations. One of the Downers Grove high school foundations did this event.” Past LHSEF fundraisers have been adult-only events. Douglass said with the absence of Keepataw Days this year, they wanted to create a different kind of festival in the downtown area that families could enjoy.

Lemont High School students will provide musical entertainment, and several raffles will take place. Douglass said the restaurants are donating their pizzas for the event.
“We’re hopeful that for their donation, they will be getting a lot of business and recognition in return,” she said. Derek Boskey of Nancy’s Pizza in Lemont said his restaurant has been involved with past Food for Thought events to support the high school. He said the festival will give employees a chance to better interact with customers. “Being a carryout and delivery place, we never get to see a lot of customers on that level,” he said. Douglass said event organizers scrapped their original plan of having people vote for their favorite pizza. “We felt that pizza is so different and so subjective and open to opinion, we thought it would be really awkward to choose a winner when they are all great,” she said. She said the sampler format will also expose diners to new pizzas. “There are pizzas there that I know some people will not have tried before,” she said.

The latest example comes from the Office of Management and Budget, whose “core mission is to serve the President of the United States in implementing his vision across the Executive Branch.” Earlier this year, the OfCOMMUNITY fice of Management and BudVOICE get came out with a proposal U.S. Rep. to create a new classification Dan Lipinski for some American businesses. These businesses were now going to be labeled as “factoryless goods producers.” How does a company produce goods without a factory? Simple, they contract out their production to factories outside of the country. Apple, for example, contracts with FoxConn to manufacture the iPhone in massive plants in China. If this nonsensical idea from the Office of Management and Budget was implemented, it would mean that Apple was counted a “factoryless goods producer,” and all these iPhones would likely have been counted as American made. This would have had a great impact on government data, distorting the number of American manufacturing jobs and could have put real American manufacturers – the ones with American factories employing American workers – at a further disadvantage in competing with foreigners. But for once, commonsense won out. I fought against this issue and so many spoke up that the proposal has been withdrawn. Instead of creating new classification terms and moving numbers around, we need to boldly move forward with a real strategy for success in American manufacturing. My American Manufacturing Competitiveness Act, H.R. 2477, would be a powerful tool for producing concrete action to help American manufacturers create jobs. It requires the president to bring together the private and public sectors to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the state of manufacturing and develop a strategy that includes specific recommendations for promoting its success. To make sure we stay the course, this strategy would be updated every four years and its implementation would be reviewed annually. A path to a stronger, vibrant American manufacturing industry also must include a long-term, comprehensive infrastructure modernization plan, improved education and workforce training, a level international playing field for trade, and more investment in the research and development that creates new businesses and jobs. We must keep up the fight for common sense and for American manufacturing.

Lemont photographer Jerry Ptacek talks about his photo of the now-demolished Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati. Ptacek is one of about a dozen artists whose work will be displayed in a veterans art exhibit by the Lemont Artists Guild at the Lemont Public Library.
Any time our proud military veterans can be given attention, we should look their way. There’s a cool new art exhibit hosted at the Lemont Public Library that showcases the artwork of veterans. Veterans have different perspectives on life than most of us, and this is an exciting display of that. The exhibit is open now through Oct. 17 at the library, 50 E. Wend St. Pizza time! We were excited to hear that Gelsosomo’s Pizza has opened at 206 Main St. in downtown Lemont. Sometime in the coming weeks, Lemont Suburban Life will bring you an up-close look at the new restaurant and its owners. We hope the family owned pizzeria sticks – for the sake of its owners, this town and its community. Good luck!

Almost three years have passed since John Wilson was arrested for the murder of Kelli O’Laughlin. Why? The police had their reports finished the day he was charged. The defense gets all their copies within a month or two, then they investigate. Frivolous motions, month after month. Why does any judge allow this? I guess his right to a speedy trial is only good when the prosecution needs time, and he wants his case dismissed. What a joke.

dore Street. But the family services agency is serving clients at the new offices. The agency, which once was an orphanage, has grown in the number of programs it offers and clients it serves. Guardian Angel now serves more than 30,000 clients a year. Moving into a new building in downtown Joliet was exciting for April Balzhiser, the agency’s chief operating officer. Now, April and others are working closer to community resources such as the Will County Courthouse, State’s Attorney’s Office and Metra train station. “It’s much more convenient for clients to access additional services,” she said. The agency has grown in the number of services it offers since it began 117 years ago. The Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate, a Joliet religious order, established an orphanage in the late 1890s when they saw need for one in the community. It later was renamed Guardian Angel Home. The orphanage moved to its location on Plainfield Road and Theodore Street in 1925. The agency became a nonprofit group with its own set of board directors in the early 1970s as it focused on treating emotionally disturbed children and families. The Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate sponsored the agency until 2011, when the decision was made to withdraw sponsorship as Catholic teachings differed from court rulings that foster agencies had to follow when working with homosexual or
By the numbers
Adjusting to the new location
Agency changes over the years The agency’s services have continued to expand since the 1970s and early 1980s. Kutlesa said Will County is one of the state’s fastest growing counties and the agency is serving more clients. For instance, the agency’s domestic violence hotline received 56 calls per month 10 years ago and now receives more than 900 calls per month, she said. Since 2000, the agency has seen a 200 percent increase in the number of service hours for its sexual assault program. All this has meant the agency has needed to spread awareness about domestic violence and the services it offers in response, Kutlesa said. “I think just in general we

According to its 2013 annual report, the agency receives support from individual donors, organizations and estates. It also receives support from the Illinois Coalition Against Sex-
ual Assault, United Way of Will County, United Way of Grundy County, U.S. Department of Justice and other organizations. When Pastwa came to the agency six years ago, she
worked in its emergency domestic violence program as a caseworker and subsequently worked in other programs. In her current position, she tries to find support for the agency through fundraising, events and volunteer work. “It’s really great to come from where I come from working with victims for so long and then being on the donor side and telling people what’s needed,” she said.

The familiar building on Plainfield Road was bought by the University of St. Francis in the spring. USF plans to put its nursing college there. With months of planning, Guardian Angel Community Services began its move in earnest in July. Ines Kutlesa, the agency’s chief executive officer, said the moving process was rewarding and historic. “This has been a labor of love from the start,” she said. The new location is smaller. The old building had a gym. But the new facility gave the agency the opportunity to design it in a way that would best fit its needs, Kutlesa said. “We wanted to be able to create a welcoming space for the families we serve,” she said about the new location. “We were successful in doing that.” The downtown location is a huge adjustment for Valerie Pastwa, the agency’s marketing and communications specialist. There were many things staff grew accustomed to in the old location, but the new location will be closer for many clients, she said. “It’s important they have access and walking distance from services,” Pastwa said.

The patio beckons at Emilio’s Tapas in Hillside, known for the art of the small plate repast and the famed Spanish specialty, paella.
Good things come on small plates at Emilio’s HILLSIDE – Whether it’s a romantic date for two or a meal with friends and family, it’s all about sharing when it comes to dining on tapas, the “small plates” that originated in Spain and went on to deliciously infiltrate other cuisines. It’s a pure pleasure to go back to one of the region’s original purveyors: Emilio’s Tapas in Hillside. We dropped by late on a Saturday afternoon before the restaurant filled, and opted for a table on the flower-ringed patio, where retractable awnings are available to counter any unwanted sun or rain. Lightly falling water from a lion’s-head fountain helped set the mood, with soft Spanish music providing a subliminal dance beat. The indoor seating, which includes a bar, is an attractively escapist setting of rustic walls adorned with intricate tile patterns and murals of Spanish scenes. While we perused a menu traditionally divided between offerings of cold (fria) and hot (caliente) tapas, and varieties of the famous specialty paella – a saffron-infused rice typically featuring seafood – our helpful server brought a complimentary plate of a Spanish ham spread on crusty bread garnished with baby lettuces. She filled us in on the day’s specials and made welcome recommendations as we pro-

It was apparent from the nearby conversations between servers and guests that a lot of happy regulars were on hand. We couldn’t resist ordering our go-to tapa: bacon-wrapped dates in a red pepper butter sauce. The dish was exceptional, featuring dates that were unusually plump, sweet and velvety. Add the applewood smoked bacon and the delicate red pepper sauce counterpoint, and it’s a standout. We used the bread basket offerings to sop up every last drop. Another tradition my companion couldn’t resist is the garlic potato salad, not for the faint of heart when it comes to the generous chopped cloves. With a short tower of clean plates at the ready, we tried something new to us: grilled black Angus with sauteed
oyster and shiitake mushrooms, Spanish potatoes and cilantro cava sauce. The beef was tender, flavorful and cooked medium rare exactly to order. It paired well with a Spanish version of home fries and the zesty sauce made with cava, Spain’s answer to Champagne. We capped the meal with a delectable cold tapa of roasted eggplant, pear tomato and green onion, accented with piquant goat cheese and grilled shrimp with a balsamic vinaigrette. The mild eggplant dominated the dish, and provided a fresh veggie spread for toast points. Service throughout our meal was wonderful, with water glasses kept full and plates whisked away in anticipation of the next arrival. To keep in mind for a future visit, flamenco performances are featured peri-
odically, and the restaurant offers a gluten-free menu. We hadn’t left enough room to try any of the desserts, which range from Callebaut bittersweet chocolate terrine with raspberry sauce to Flan de Caramelo to a cheese plate with local honeycomb, Spanish quince, figs and Spanish Marcona almonds. However, we did indulge in a superb cappuccino, rich in creamy flavor and froth, that was prepared, our server told us, from organic, free trade beans. It was a perfect ending to a relaxed, savory meal.

n WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday n WHERE: 800 Porter Street,
Lemont
n RECORDS: TF South 1-1;
Lemont 2-0
n OUTLOOK: This is the South
Suburban Blue conference opener for Lemont, which looks to ascend back to the top of the league after posting a 2-4 mark in 2013. Lemont has started the season in strong fashion, backing up a Week 1 victory against Plainfield South with a win against Danville last week. TF South enters play with a 1-1 record after defeating Urban Prep/Englewood 35-0 in Week 2. The Rebels opened with a 27-6 loss to Crete-Monee.

Lemont’s Flynn Nagel gets knocked out of bounds by Plainfield South’s Tyler Jensen during the Aug. 29 season opener. Nagel caught three touchdown passes in Lemont’s 43-19 win against Danville on Sept. 5. John Patsch - For Shaw Media
Nagel, Indians down Danville By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT – It didn’t take Flynn Nagel long to make an impact for Lemont’s football team. Playing in his first season in an Indians uniform after transferring from Marist, the senior wide receiver hauled in three touchdowns passes in his team’s 43-19 victory against Danville on Sept. 5. “People had told me how much of a game-changer he is,” Lemont first-year coach
Bret Kooi said. “People who had played him in the past or had seen him. I had many people tell me that we got a pretty special Flynn Nagel one and I knew that pretty close to right away. “And I don’t think he is the only one. We have a couple of other kids who are game-changers too.” Jeremy Fejedelem added an 80-yard kickoff return touchdown for Lemont, which
opened up its home portion of the schedule in stellar fashion. “First of all, it was without a doubt fun to go through that atmosphere,” Kooi said. “It was something I was looking forward to. It sounds crazy, but I was extremely excited for us to finally be home. And I wasn’t disappointed at all, even though the [rainy] weather sort of put a damper on things. “Our defense played well even though we gave up some big plays. The big thing is we made some steps in the right
direction offensively. If we can continue to get better offensively, we will be a good football team because we know the defense will be good.” With the win, Lemont improved to 2-0 on the young season as it awaits the South Suburban conference opener against Thornton Fractional South. “Obviously you’re happy being 2-0,” the coach said. “Could we have played better? Yes, but you almost always say that. What you gauge it on is you want to get better week-to-week, and we have done that.”
Friday’s contest will hold a little extra special meaning for Kooi, who played at TF South under current coach Tom Padjen. “I chuckle a little bit,” Kooi said. “Even though I haven’t played them, I know quite a bit about them. I played for him, though I’ve been trying to keep that under the radar a bit. “I don’t think anyone we will see will be as prepared and well-coached against us as they are.

MORE BEARS COVERAGE AT CHICAGOFOOTBALL.COM
CHICAGO FOOTBALL.COM Hub Arkush bounce back and give us an exciting season, the future for the Bears is not all that bright. According to a study by Philly.com, the Bears are the third oldest team in the NFL today, and their starting defense is definitely the oldest. The future of any NFL team is based on how it drafts and scouts college talent. The reason these Bears are so old is a number of years of bad drafting by Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith. Now I’m sure you’re all thinking no news flash there, but it is time to start wondering if Emery and Trestman have that trend turned. It is now time to officially declare Emery’s first draft as the Bears general manager as disappointing to poor. Yes, Alshon Jeffery is a great addition to this team and possibly even a building
Don’t miss seeing ‘Chicago Football Now’ Watch Hub Arkush and the rest of our coverage team break down this weekend’s Bears game on “Chicago Football Now” at 10:30 a.m. Saturday on WCIU The U or at 2:30 p.m. Saturday on The U Too. block for the future. Unfortunately, that’s it. Shea McClellin continues to receive chances and to disappoint. He and Isaiah Frey on the practice squad are all that remain from that group. Even if McClellin becomes a serviceable starter, that’s just not enough from an entire draft class. The Bears have Kyle Long, Jon Bostic, Khaseem Greene, Jordan Mills, Cornelius Washington, Marquess Wilson and Demontre Hurst to show for Emery’s sophomore class. It is at least 16 weeks too early to grade this group
or form any final conclusions about the long-term prospects of any of these prospects other than to say Kyle Long looks like another potential building block for the future. But is it fair to ask what your expectations are for any or all of Long’s classmates? A few more serviceable to better-than-average NFL players? If that is in fact how it turns out, once again Emery and company just have to do better. There are 10 drafted rookies or undrafted rookie free agents on this year’s final 53, the same number as the Bears kept last year. That is a nice number, but the question we need to ask is, is that because the talent is so exciting, or the talent they had to beat out to make the team was uninspiring? What we can say for sure is if this year’s crop of Bears rookies don’t prove to be better than the first two groups Emery compiled, the franchise is in some serious jeopardy.
IT’S ALL ABOUT DRIVE
$
2 , 500 00 00
What is interesting is Emery has proven to have a very good eye for veteran talent. And he seems to work veteran free agency very well. But by itself, that is a one-way ticket to average. Counting on veteran free agents to contend will almost always lead to salary cap issues, a lack of depth up and down your roster and perhaps some number of very good players but a certain lack of star power. There is enough talent on this 2014 Bears roster for this team to be a playoff contender, even after the embarrassing loss to Buffalo. But that’s only if this group can stay healthy and get itself focused on stopping the run. But if this 2014 rookie class doesn’t turn out to be the best the Bears have had since 2003, the last good draft this club had, and the next couple of drafts aren’t better than that, Bears fans had best start preparing for a very long dry spell before their club is ready to contend again.

ROOM FOR THE WHOLE TEAM
LMR
Did the Chicago Bears run into a better team in their opening day disappointment versus the Buffalo Bills at Soldier Field, or was it just another step in the “process” that GM Phil Emery and coach Marc Trestman reference so often? I suspect it was the latter, which isn’t necessarily good news, but minimally tells us we’re just going to have to hang on for a few more weeks before we really know what we’ve got in these Chicago Bears. If in fact the Bears just aren’t as good as the Buffalo Bills, then Emery and Trestman have a big problem on their hands. The Bills aren’t a bad team, but at best they are one of a number of average or mediocre teams in the NFL that are going nowhere fast. That then could mean that the Monsters of the Midway are just a bad football team. Like I said, I’m not ready to write off this year’s Bears, and I really don’t think you should either. But even if these guys
