Morgan Rex of Lemont earned the Girl Scout Gold Award for reorganizing the HOPE Closet, a clothing collection for families in need.
Scout uses organizational skills to earnGold AwardBy DAN FARNHAM
LEMONT – Lemont res-ident Morgan Rex learnedthat the HOPE Closet at RiverValley School needed reorga-nizing while doing volunteerwork with the Lemont Junio-rettes.
She said the clothes al-ways were scattered and thecloset had an ineffective orga-nizational structure.
Rex chose to restore theHOPE (Helping Other PeopleEveryday) Closet as her GirlScout Gold Award project.The HOPE Closet is the Hopeand Friendship Foundation’sclothing closet for underpriv-ileged families. She receivedthe award, the organization’shighest honor, during a cere-
mony June 8.Rex, who is entering her
second year of college, com-pleted the project during hersenior year of high school.
“It was a perfect opportu-nity to give back to the com-munity and something thatwould have a lasting impactand continue even after I left
for college,” she said.Rex bought new shelving,
organized a clothing drivewith the help of a fourthgrade Girl Scout troop and re-organized the closet to makeit user-friendly and sustain-able. To fund the project, shereached out to local business-es and clubs.
“It really helped it out alot,” said Kelley Van Hecke,adviser to the Lemont Junio-rettes. “It had been all binsin the closet with one wall ofhangers. It was her idea to re-organize to use more hangingspace.”
Van Hecke said Rex add-ed a mirror, replaced the stepladder, put replaceable la-bels on the clothing bins andhelped organize the hangingclothing by size.
Though Rex has earnedthe Girl Scout’s highest hon-or, she said Scouting will con-tinue to be a part of her life.As an adult, she hopes to be atroop leader for her own chil-dren someday.
Rex is studying for a de-gree in biomedical engineer-ing and wants to make med-ical devices that improve thequality of life of patients.
For Rex, earning the GoldAward is something that willhelp her in her career.
“It really means that Iknow that I have a capaci-ty to do bigger and betterthings within the largercommunity in the future,”she said. “I learned a lot ofskills like networking thatwill be very beneficial in myfuture career.”

LEMONT – Three yearsafter eliminating the musicspecialists because of budgetconstraints, Oakwood andRiver Valley schools eachare adding a part-time mu-sic teacher for the upcomingschool year.
Allyson Zeyen will teachthe kindergarten to secondgrade classes at Oakwood,while Jenna Treanor willteach the third and fourthgraders in River Valley.
Grades one to four willhave two 25-minute musicclasses a week, while kinder-garten will have one 25-min-ute class.
For the past three years,the classroom teachers wereresponsible for teaching mu-sic.
Oakwood Principal CathySlee said the teachers did agood job keeping music in theclassroom, but they cannotbe expected to bring the samelevel of expertise as a musicspecialist.
“[Students are] going tosee music at a different level,”she said. “To have someonebring that music alive withthe piano or the variety of in-struments, it will bring thatfine arts portion to a higherlevel for the students.”
Treanor, a Lemont resi-dent, will be a familiar facefor some of the students atRiver Valley. She volun-teered to teach recorders tothird graders last year andteaches music lessons in thecommunity.
During the summer, shealso held a musical theatercamp that ended with a com-munity performance.
“I’m excited that musicis being brought back andthe children are going to beable to have the opportunityto learn the core curriculumand have the music enhanceit,” she said.
Zeyen, who is a springgraduate of DePaul Universi-ty, said she chose Oakwoodover other job opportunities.
“I think it is a great school,”she said. “I think there will bea great opportunity to build agreat music program.”
River Valley Principal
Debby Lynch said the parentswere supportive of the teach-ers’ efforts to instruct musicbut preferred a music teacher.
“There was a large portionof the community that feltstrongly about a music educa-tion or band education for thekids,” she said. “The commu-nity was clear that a special-ist teaching was important.”
Lynch said the classroomteachers are excited to havethe music teachers back.
River Valley third gradeteacher Cathy Cortez saidthe teachers did the best theycould to add music to their cur-ricula, but it was a challenge.
“It took a lot of time, andI don’t think everybody hasthe expertise to be able to dothat,” she said.
Cortez said teachers willhave larger amounts of timeto collaborate as a result ofthe scheduled music classes,but she is most excited forhow having a music teacherwill benefit the students.
One thing parents can ex-pect to see is more music pro-grams.
Zeyen said she and Tre-anor already are planning aVeterans Day program, andshe hopes to have a concert inthe spring.
Treanor sees value in hav-ing the children perform inconcerts.
“They get such a sense ofpride in themselves whenthey are able to get up andshow their talents,” she said.
Other arts news
The return of the music teachersdoes not mean all of the specialprograms teachers are back. Theclassroom teachers will still beresponsible for teaching art.“We really felt like our teachers
probably had more expertise inthe area of art than in music,”River Valley School Principal DebbyLynch said.Superintendent Susan Birken-
maier said the art specialist isscheduled to be added in the fifthyear of the district’s long termplan, which has entered its firstyear. However, she said that couldchange as the district evaluates itsplan each year.

LEMONT – Lemont is hostto many car shows duringthe summer, but the LasRydsHearse Club will put the focuson a unique category of clas-sic vehicles this weekend.
The club (pronounced “lastrides”) will hold its GreatestShow Un-Earthed from 10a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday in theTalcott Square parking lot,Stephen and Talcott streets,Lemont.
Besides the hearses, therewill be themed vendors, carni-val games, a costume contest,charity raffles and other enter-tainment. Proceeds from theraffles will benefit the Hopeand Friendship Foundation.
Troy Hambly, founder ofthe club, said membership ismade up of more than peoplewho like the cars for beingspooky and morbid.
“Probably a majority arewhat we call ‘haunters,’” he
said. “Other people like themjust because of the cars.”
Hambly also said mostmembers are not in the funer-al services industry, althoughhe operates a funeral home inPlainfield.
“For me, it’s just becausethey are unique,” he said. “Iwas actually a hearse collec-tor long before I got in thebusiness.”
To Hambly, hearses aregood classic cars because theyare custom-built and relative-
ly cheap.“Everyone thinks [a hearse
is] a black Cadillac,” he said.“Probably only 30 percent areCadillacs.
Hambly owns an 1890s-stylehorse drawn hearse, a 1926Chrysler, 1947 Rolls Royceand a 1994 Chevrolet.
The person responsiblefor bringing the hearse showto Lemont is Kim Peters,
co-owner of the Aurora Roseboutique.
Peters said her store previ-ously was in Willow Springs,near where the club had itsshow in past years. Her Lem-ont store is across the streetfrom Talcott Square.
“I know the quantity ofpeople it brings to town,” shesaid. “We’ve been open forover two years, and it still
stands as our best businessday.”
Peters also appreciateshearses and wants to own one.
“Hearses are a beautifulcar,” she said. “And most ofthe time you don’t get to ap-preciate it because, if you getup close to one, they’re put-ting someone you love in it.”
Peters said other businessowners have shown a “tenta-tive excitement” for the event.
“When I first approachedthe Chamber president withthis, she was all for it,” shesaid. “When she pitched it tothe Chamber, they said ‘Youwant to do what?’”
Hambly said reactionsto the hearses range from“they’re gross” to “those arekind of neat.” He also has metpeople who hated the idea ofa hearse but are now owners.
Peters and Hambly also arefocused on keeping the eventfamily friendly, particularlywith the haunters.
“We’re okay with some ofthe Halloween stuff, but thereis a line,” Hambly said.

Firefighter fromLemont remembered withmemorialBy DAN FARNHAM
LEMONT – Fallen Chica-go firefighter and Lemontnative Christopher Wheat-ley has been honored with alarge bronze medallion me-morial outside the Engine 5fire station where he servedin Chicago’s West Loop.
A dedication ceremonywas Saturday with friends,family and members of thefire department.
Wheatley died in August2010 after falling while climb-ing to the roof of a restaurantduring a grease fire.
The bronze medallionhonors Wheatley’s serviceas a firefighter with Truck 2and a paramedic with Ambu-
lance 15 in Chicago.Wheatley’s mother, Mary,
credits Chicago 2nd WardAlderman Bob Fioretti withleading the efforts to createthe memorial.
Fioretti approached theWheatley family about thebronze medallion shortlyafter Christopher’s deathand spent the past couple ofyears designing and imple-
menting it.Although he hopes the
city will not have much occa-sion to use it, he would likethe bronze medallion to be atemplate for memorializingfallen firefighters.
“Christopher Wheatley isjust an embodiment of thecity of Chicago,” he said. “Hewas the embodiment of truehard work and what it meansto excel.”
The ceremony includeda bell ringing, called a 3-3-5,signifying return to quar-ters. This was followed bythe unveiling of the memo-rial.
Mary Wheatley said thememorial is a tribute to allfirefighters and paramedicswho serve Chicago.
“People will know that hewas a firefighter and a para-medic for the city of Chicagoand served and died for thedepartment that he lovedand the city that he loved,”she said.

GLEN ELLYN – There’snothing quite like the mix ofsweet and savory flavors thatyou get from Thai food.
Spiciness is a hallmark ofmany forms of Asian cuisine,and you’ll get that from Thaifood, too. But the combina-tion of opposing flavors setsThai food apart.
As a longtime fan of thecuisine, I had high hopeswhen I stopped by Thipi Thaiin Glen Ellyn on a recentweeknight. And my diningcompanion, even more ofan aficionado, was nearlychomping at the bit withhunger.
Fortunately, we were notdisappointed. From the en-chanting decor to the delight-ful dishes, we were in for aterrifically memorable meal.
Without hesitation, weplaced our drink orders assoon as we saw the menu –we never pass up a chanceto get Thai iced tea. It’s astrongly brewed iced tea withsugar and condensed milk.The milk and the sugar com-plement the bitterness of thetea rather than masking it,making for a sensation thatengages your taste buds.
For appetizers, I opted forthe shumai steamed crab-meat dumplings served withsoy sesame vinaigrette fordipping. It’s a common orderfor me, and Thipi Thai’sversion was just right. Mycompanion went for the coco-nut shrimp, which came witha pineapple mango sauce.
“Perfectly sweet andtangy,” my dining compan-ion said.
On to the entrees. We’reboth big fans of pad woonsen,which is what my companionordered, but I thought I’dtry something different andselected the orange beef. I’monly moderately tolerantof spicy food, but the menushowed just one pepper nextto my choice – the scaleappears to go up to three foritems such as kung pao noo-dle chicken.
One particularly spicypepper caught me by sur-
prise, but otherwise it wasjust right, with the pineappleand mandarin orange slicesproviding the perfect con-trast to the peppers and beef.I should have saved someto bring home, however,
because I left myself withoutany room for dessert.
I probably would havechosen the “chocolate pyr-amid” – chocolate moussewith sauteed bananas over arum sauce.
I requested a few bites ofmy companion’s pad woon-sen with chicken, and verymuch enjoyed the mix ofcellophane noodles (I’ve seenthem referred to as glass noo-dles elsewhere), chicken, eggand vegetables in a brown
garlic sauce.Thipi Thai has a high-ceil-
inged dining area, with analcove toward the back that’s
up a flight of stairs. Prints ofAsian scenes and delightfulelephants carved from drift-wood adorn the walls.
We found the service to beexcellent, attentive withoutbeing obtrusive. And themenu has plenty of dishesI’ve never tried before totempt me to return.
The Mystery Diner is anewsroom employee at Sub-urban Life Media. The din-er’s identity is not revealedto the restaurant staff beforeor during the meal. Only pos-itive dining experiences willresult in published reviews.

The inviting exterior of Thipi Thai in Glen Ellyn only hints at the fantas-tic experience within.
Pad woonsen chicken can be flavorless at a lesser restaurant, butthat’s not a problem at Thipi Thai.
The coconut shrimp are plenty tasty, but it’s the pineapple mangosauce that really seals the deal.

Though she will be sidelined with an injury this season, Courtney Keefe will still train and travel with her Bradley teammates.
Keefe keeps positive for BradleyLemont native finds silver lining after season-ending injury
PEORIA – Getting herstart with the sport of vol-leyball in the fourth grade,Courtney Keefe is set to en-ter uncharted waters overthe next few months as shetakes a redshirt year at Brad-ley University because of aninjury.
First hurting her rightfoot in the spring of 2012, theLemont graduate is now re-covering from a fracture thatwill cause her to miss theBraves’ 2013 campaign. Sherecently got out of a walk-ing boot and began rehablast week, and she could becleared for cardio work in a
few weeks.“Allie Falter is a redshirt
junior this year and AliseTupuritis is a redshirt se-nior,” Keefe said, “They’vebeen helping me out, tellingme what to expect. They havebeen awesome teammates.
“It’s pretty weird becauseI definitely want to be play-ing as much as possible. I’menjoying the break but I’d
much rather be playing.”A dominant player while
at Lemont, finishing herprep career with 901 kills,Keefe has been a major con-tributor at the college leveland her absence will leave avoid for the Braves. A yearago, she started 25 matches,appeared in every game, andshowed her true versatilityby finishing fourth on theteam in kills and second indigs.
“That’s my favorite thingto talk about,” she said. “Notevery player can do that,usually a player is strongerat either hitting or pass-ing. If you can do both, thatmakes you kind of a go-toperson. You are always out
there and people look to you.I love having that role.”
As a team, Bradley hasfinished under .500 the pasttwo years but Keefe feels aturnaround is not out of thequestion. And the juniorwill be there every step ofthe way as she is allowed totravel with the team and goto practices.
“Even though our recorddidn’t show it, we got a lotdone last year,” she said.“We learned a lot as a team.Going through every match,some of what we did wasright and some of what wedid was wrong, and we triedto build off that.
“I’m excited about thisyear. We’ve been doing a lot
more together in the gymand out of the gym. Our teamis a lot closer and it’s goingto be a whole different atmo-sphere. We’ve got good teamchemistry.”
As for her future, aftergraduation and the end ofher volleyball career, Keefeis majoring in elementaryeducation but recently took aliking to another possible job.
“I was talking to our ath-letic adviser recently and Iam kind of interested in whatshe does,” Keefe said. “I willprobably still do teachingbecause I love working withkids but I could end up beingat a college. I wouldn’t mindbeing around sports for therest of my life.”
Rambler volleyballrelies on WrobelVicki Wrobel has been a major
contributor for the Loyola vol-leyball team in her first two sea-sons. The incoming junior playedin every set a year ago and ledthe Horizon League with 34 aces,and she finished the season with202 digs and 96 assists. Shealso topped the Ramblers with31 aces as a freshman and wasseventh in the Horizon League inassists that year.

Clinics, tryouts coming up for Lemont Athletic Club basketball
New gridiron guidelines don’t affect LemontBy SCOTT SCHMID
LEMONT – The safety ofthe players has always been aprimary concern for Lemontfootball head coach Eric Mi-chaelsen and his staff.
So when the IHSA came inwith new regulations for pre-season practice, which beganon Wednesday, the Indians’head man had no beef.
“I think we do a good joblooking out for the kids as is,”Michaelsen said. “But if theyare trying to make the gamesafer, I’m all for that. We wantthe kids to have a great expe-rience and we want them tofeel we are teaching them theright way. Anything we cando to make them feel safer andmake their families feel safer,that is what we want to do.”
The changes actually won’thave much of an affect on theIndians. School also startedon August 14, eliminating theability to have two-a-days.
“It won’t be a huge thingfor us,” the coach said. “Wewill already be in school. Butwe will be missing out ontwo days of full pads, whichis the biggest difference. Thefirst Saturday used to be thefirst day of full pads. Now thatSaturday is just helmet andshoulder pads; we won’t gofull pads until Tuesday.”
Lemont trainer Jeff Kimakhadn’t heard word that theIHSA was planning to makechanges, but upon seeing thenew guidelines he thought itwas a good thing.
“It’s good to see somethingthat everybody is going tohave to take some responsibil-ity for,” Kimak said.
One thing that alwaysneeds to be monitored isthe unpredictable Augustweather. The new guide-lines are in place to helpdeal with any sweltering dog
days during practice.“It’s been a cool summer
but you just don’t know,” Ki-mak said. “It could be in the90’s (for practice). This allowsthe players to acclimate tothat.”
Also of concern is the factthat players come to camp
with varying degrees of condi-tioning levels, which the newguidelines also help with.
“Some kids will be more inshape than others,” the train-er added. “Now kids won’tbe put through long practicedays anymore. It is beneficialin that way.”
IHSA football practice guidelines
With its preseason football acclimatization practice period, theIHSA has set specific guidelines for football practices through Aug.27.Aug. 14-15: 3 hour limit, helmet onlyAug. 16-17: 3 hour limit, helmet and shoulder padsAug. 19: 3 hour limit, helmet and shoulder padsAug. 20: 5 hour limit, full padsAug. 21: 3 hour limit, full padsAug. 22: 5 hour limit, full padsAug. 23: 3 hour limit, full padsAug. 24: 5 hour limit, full padsAug. 26: 5 hour limit, full padsAug. 27: 3 hour limit, full padsNote: A one hour walk-through is also allowed each day, though
