Lemont student finds her calling in AfricaBy DAN FARNHAM

[email protected]

LEMONT – For some peo-ple, a mission trip to Africais a once-in-a-lifetime expe-rience.

Michelle Awad hopes herrecent visit will be the firstof many.

The Lemont High Schoolsenior spent three weeksduring the summer doingcharitable work in Kenyaas part of a group from St.Mark’s Coptic OrthodoxChurch in Burr Ridge.

“I had been looking for-ward to it for a couple ofyears,” she said. “I decidedthat this would be a goodway to decide if this is whatI wanted to do with the restof my life.”

During her time in Nai-robi and Maseno, Awad do-nated school supplies andclothing to an orphanageand built houses for peo-ple whose homes had burntdown.

She also conducted visita-tions and held Bible studiesat homes and at a prison.

Awad said Kenya was dif-ferent than she expected.

“You see the pictures andyou think you know what toexpect,” she said. “It’s dif-ferent to be there.”

It also was an adjustmentfrom her way of life in theU.S.

“If I didn’t know some-

thing, I couldn’t just pull myphone out and search for it,”she said.

Awad said she saw thegood and bad sides of Kenya.

When making house vis-itations, hosts would insiston sharing their food, evenif it was all the food theywould have that day.

She also saw violence,such as fights between menduring the night.

The trip has strengthenedAwad’s conviction to workin Africa as part of her ca-reer.

She said the greatest chal-lenge she faced during hertrip has been coming backhome. She has a difficulttime talking about anythingbut Africa and believes thatis where she belongs.

“I know that I’m goingto be back there no matterwhat,” she said.

Mina Dimitri, one of theorganizers and leaders on the

trip, said people who go on amission trip to Africa are ex-cited and want to do it againor never want to go back.

He said he has been ableto tell during and after thetrip how passionate Awad isabout working in Africa.

“She felt a lot of compas-sion, specifically for thechildren,” he said.

Awad said she will studyto become either a doctor ora teacher and plans to makemore mission trips duringher school breaks.

She said this summer’strip to Kenya will have aspecial meaning for her.

“I’ll remember my firsttime there forever,” shesaid. “Because it changesyour heart. It changes theway you see things.”

Residents voice concerns about First Street constructionBy DAN FARNHAM

[email protected]

LEMONT – Residentspacked Village Hall on Sept. 9to protest the opening of FirstStreet to through traffic duringa meeting of the Village Board.

The primary concern ofthose in attendance was howthe increased traffic wouldaffect pedestrian safety in aresidential area with a narrowroad and limited sidewalks.

As part of a $185,813 con-struction project to widen

First Street, the village willpave a portion of the street be-tween Woodglen and Berkleylanes that is currently barri-caded.

This would allow trafficfrom McCarthy Road to useFirst Street to access Berkley

Lane and the rest of the Cov-ington Knolls subdivision tothe south.

Mayor Brian Reaves saidhe knows opening First Streetis a contentious issue, but al-lowing traffic to go throughsubdivisions is common andis part of connectivity for thevillage.

“Stub streets are designedto go through,” he said.

But attendees who spoke atthe meeting expressed doubtabout the need for connectiv-ity with this road, especiallywhen weighed against the po-tential danger to pedestrians.

“Are you guys thinkingthat when a kid gets hurt ...is that a risk you are willingto take?” said Mike Breszach,who lives on Chatham Drive.“This connectivity is just go-ing to make traffic go fasterdown the street.”

Kathy Swanstrom, wholives on First Street, was con-cerned about there not beingenough sidewalk along thestreet. The sidewalk is on thewest side of the street andstops at Bethany LutheranCemetery, before it reachesMcCarthy Road.

“How is this going to workwhen there isn’t even enoughroom for sidewalks on bothsides?,” she said. “I think whatyou need to consider is to fixFirst Street, not open it up.”

Reaves said the village willtake steps to protect pedestri-ans on First Street.

“I have been assured per-sonally by Chief Shaughnessythat not only will there bespeed signs out there, therewill be a visible police pres-ence on that street,” he said.

Reaves said bushes havebeen removed from the in-tersection of First Street andMcCarthy Road to improve theline of sight for drivers.

Public Works DirectorRalph Pukula said a three-waystop will be added at Schultzand First streets.

Kes Jodwalis, who lives onBerkley Lane, was one of sev-eral residents who wonderedwhy the village thought it wasbetter to open First Street tothrough traffic than FourthStreet.

Reaves said a village studydetermined the line of sightfrom McCarthy Road to FourthStreet was worse and the chang-es needed to improve that lineof sight were too costly.

Village AdministratorGeorge Schafer said the villagewould need to add a traffic sig-nal to the intersection of Mc-Carthy Road and Fourth Streetand sidewalks on FourthStreet.

He said the village estimat-ed the cost of the project wouldcost $500,000.

LEMONT – A year afterlosing her daughter and hus-band, Rachael Reyna of Lem-ont raised $40,000 through agolf fundraiser to benefit twocharities that have a specialmeaning to her.

The fundraiser was Aug.9 at Ruffled Feathers GolfCourse in Lemont and includ-ed a golf outing and dinnerwith a raffle and silent auction.

Half the money will go tothe Danny Did Foundation, acharity focusing on seizure-re-lated epilepsy deaths in chil-dren.

Reyna’s 3-year-old daugh-ter, Ava, died Feb. 16, 2012,when she had a seizure in hersleep.

The other half of the fundsraised will go to the CarcinoidCancer Awareness Network.

Reyna’s husband, Carlos,died April 20, 2012, after years

of treatment for carcinoid can-cer.

Her father also died twoweeks after her husband.

Reyna said the idea for hav-ing a golf charity event camein March at the suggestion ofher brother.

“One day, my brother justcalled me and said, ‘What doyou think about having a char-ity golf event and would youhave any charities in mind?,’”she said.

Reyna, who has two otherchildren and works as a loanoriginator, said she saw orga-nizing the golf event as a wayto take her mind off losingthree family members the pre-

vious year.The results were more than

she expected.“It was unbelievable,” she

said. “I had four months to doit. I never did anything likethis before.”

The event sold out fiveweeks in advance. One hun-dred and twenty-eight peopletook part in the golf outing and215 attended the dinner. Mostof them were friends and fam-ily.

One of the participants wasDan Hannon, who worked withCarlos for 15 years and becamea close friend of the family.

“I wanted to raise as muchmoney as I could for what she

was doing,” he said.Through donations, Reyna

also collected 30 raffle basketsand 40 silent auction items.

Reyna said she wants tokeep track of how her dona-tions are being used with thetwo charities.

“I’d like the golfers to know,everybody who participated,where the money went,” shesaid.

Reyna said she plans to or-ganize another golf fundraiserAug. 8 next year, although shefeels pressure based on the suc-cess of this year’s event.

“I’m kind of scared abouttrying to have to top it,” shesaid.

LEMONT – The Lemont Vil-lage Board of Trustees unani-mously voted during its Sept.9 meeting to approve upgradesto lights at four traffic intersec-tions in the village and to allowthe Canal Corridor Associationto lease an office space at theMetra Station.

Trustee Paul Chialdikaswas not at the meeting.

The traffic light upgradesinclude the installation of LEDlights at the intersections. Theupgrades are part of an agree-ment with the Illinois Depart-ment of Transportation andwill cost the village $7,577.35.

Lemont Public Works Di-rector Ralph Pukula said theupgraded lights would use lessenergy and require less main-tenance.

He said he estimated thatwork on the lights would startat the end of October and didnot know how long the projectwould take.

The traffic lights are locat-

ed at Archer Avenue and 107thStreet; Archer Avenue and111th Street; McCarthy andBell road and 127th and Statestreets.

The Canal Corridor Asso-ciation, which promotes thehistory of the Illinois and Mich-igan Canal, will occupy the of-fice space left vacant when theLemont Chamber of Commercemoved into the Village Hall.The lease will be for one year.

“I think this is a great use forthe building,” said Village Ad-ministrator George Schafer. “Itwill bring visitors into town.”

Planning and EconomicDevelopment Director CharityJones said the Canal CorridorAssociation is looking to movein as soon as possible. It is alsotaking applications for some-one with a background in mar-keting and public relations tostaff the office.

Prehistoric party: Lemontmanmakes fossils funBy DAN FARNHAM

[email protected]

LEMONT – Unhappy withhis career in finance, Lem-ont resident David Howe hasfound his calling in the worldof dinosaur fossils.

Howe started T-Rexplorersfour years ago. The businessprovides hands-on dinosaurfossil presentations, mostlyfor children.

Howe has presented atschools, libraries, park dis-tricts, transitional facilitiesand facilities for learning dis-abled adults.

He also held a summercamp that recreated a dino-saur dig and allowed partici-pants to make casts of bonesand tracks.

Howe said he has alwayshad a love for nature, theearth sciences and digging forthings.

“There are people who aremeant to have clean handsand there are people who aremeant to have dirty hands,” hesaid.

His daughter Zoe, who hasan interest in dinosaurs in-spired him to pursue this ca-reer, Howe said.

After the career change, hewent back to school at DePaulUniversity and has relied onthe expertise of paleontolo-gists when trying to identifyfossils.

Howe has a collection ofabout 300 dinosaur fossils,including bones, teeth, eggs,tracks and even feces.

He found some of the itemshimself while digging in plac-es such as Arkansas and SouthDakota, he said Others wereeither given to him or pur-chased from reputable dealers.

When it comes to his pre-sentations, Howe said he goesfor an interactive experience

that differs from seeing fossilsin a museum.

“I don’t want people walk-ing up and putting their handsbehind their backs and justlooking at things like this,” hesaid. “I want kids to be able tograb the fossil and say, ‘Checkthis out. This is awesome.

What is this?’”And, unlike with some

museum exhibits, Howe saidthese fossils are real, not rep-licas.

That also means Howemust be being prepared forpieces to break.

Though he sets up “dino-

saur rules” for handling thefossils, Howe said he doeshave to do repairs.

“Fossils are 65 millionyears old,” he said. “They’regoing to break.”

But Howe said letting thechildren hold the fossils bringsout their natural curiosity.

“Some of them are abso-lutely floored that they areholding dinosaur parts,” hesaid.

Zoe, who is 9 years oldand a student at River ValleySchool, said it’s cool to have adad who’s known as “the dino-saur guy.”

“Actually, all the boys askme questions for my dad,” shesaid.

Howe said his goal withmaking the presentations isto get children to spend lesstime with electronic devicesand more time appreciatingnature, whether it be huntingfor fossils or something else.

“You can go anywhere onthat little tablet of yours, andyou will never find somethinglike this,” he said.

Clarity on SyriaAmid the confusion in the

White House over whether ornot to launch missiles into thenation of Syria, there exists asimple set of instructions forour government to follow. It isknown as the Constitution ofthe United States. In their wis-dom, the founders did not em-power one officeholder to startwars. Article 1, Section 8, clearlystates “Congress shall have thepower to declare war.” No suchpower is assigned to presidents,not even two presidents whosespeeches made coeds faint, orwho received the Nobel PeacePrize just for getting elected.

Who gets taxedNow that the DuPage County

Board is poised to collect mon-ey from residents for rainwaterrunning off their property,Downers Grove residents willbe charged twice for the samerainwater runoff – once byDowners Grove, and again bythe county. Will the countylower its real estate taxationlike Downers Grove did so thatproperty owners would not becharged twice for the samerain? And, since the DuPageCounty Forest Preserves domore rainwater runoff than anyother land in the county, who

will likely be taxed for that? Youguessed it. Look in the mirror.

Paying for parkingI think the village of Brookfield

should not make residentsspend $10 to $20 per monthjust so they can park a car. It isnot fair when you have visitorsor family staying with youduring an emergency situation.

No need for a smartphoneI am sick and tired of people

assuming that everybody hasa smartphone, and everybodytexts and sends messages backand forth. My husband and I,we have a simple phone. Weuse it as a phone. It fits nicelyin our pocket. People get angryat us because they can’t textus, or they said they texted us.If you wanna buy us a differentphone, you want to carry itaround for us, and pay the bill,you’re more than welcometo, but please don’t assumeeverybody has the latesttechnology.

Cronin: Metra Board appointeeZediker only candidate for the job

By NATHAN [email protected]

The controversial MetraBoard of Directors is one stepcloser to getting back on therails, according to DuPageCounty Board Chairman DanCronin.

The County Board appoint-ed John Zediker on Tuesday tofill the county seat on the Me-tra Board.

Cronin said that after sort-ing through more than 30applications for the job, hebelieved there was “only onecandidate” that could tacklethe many ethical and practicalchallenges facing Metra.

Zediker’s background asthe director of transportation,engineering and developmentin Naperville and as a DuP-age County board membergave him the necessary poli-cy background for the job, ac-cording to a news release fromthe county distributed at thetime of Zediker’s nomination.

He also gained transporta-tion management experiencethrough his career in civil en-gineering in the public sector.

Cronin called the positiona “difficult role in such a con-tentious and difficult environ-ment.”

“I value his judgment andhis expertise,” Cronin said.“I have no doubt there will beno learning curve with JohnZediker. He will immersehimself immediately.”

Zediker, who is from Na-perville, said he was “humbledand honored” by the appoint-ment, and was ready to “be-come a part of the solution.”New board members such ashimself would be responsiblefor ensuring a change in cul-ture on the Board, he said.

“We really need to get backon track and right the ship,”he said. “I think we have toestablish leadership, first andforemost. Both at the chair-man level, certainly, as well asinternally.”

Cronin said that Zedikerwill donate his Metra Boardstipend to charity.

Zediker’s appointment wasapproved with 13 county boardmembers voting in favor andtwo – Laurie Nowak and Eliz-abeth Chaplin – voting “pres-ent.”

Both Nowak and Chaplinsaid that while they felt Ze-diker was a qualified candi-date, a lack of transparencyand openness in the selection

process kept them from votingfor the appointment.

Though Cronin gave thecounty board members Ze-diker’s resume and contact in-formation 11 days prior to thevote, a full list of those who ap-plied for the position was notmade available to the Boardor to the public, Chaplin said,adding that the county owedit to the other applicants tomake sure the process is fairand open.

“For us, not seeing thoseother applicants to make a de-cision – I don’t know that weare fully informed,” she said.

Several board members,including Brian Krajewski,said that the role of the boardin matters of appointment isto advise and consent to nom-inees.

“Our job is to confirm yourappointment or say no to it,”Krajewski said. “I think youmade a great choice with JohnZediker and my job is to votefor or vote on your choice.”

“We really need to get

back on track and right

the ship. I think we have to

establish leadership, first

and foremost. Both at the

chairman level, certainly,

as well as internally.”

ELMHURST – The conceptof a “downtown cafe” canrange from rickety outfitwith a counter and a cou-ple chairs all the way to agourmet dining experiencethat features cozy outdoorseating. Fortunately for Elm-hurst, Café Amano falls intothe latter category.

During a recent visit, Iwas inclined to sit outdoorsand get a true cafe experi-ence, but it was just a touchchilly that evening, and mydining companion and I re-luctantly opted to eat inside.But while we missed out onthe ambience of Elmhurst’sthriving open-air experience,we were more than com-pensated by the exquisitelydesigned decor indoors.

Everything about therestaurant says, “casual, butelegant,” from the tastefullogo on one wall, to thedisplay of wines as you firstenter, to the abundant darkwood trim and dramaticceiling-hung light fixtures.It’s an environment whereyou easily could have abusiness meeting, take yourvisiting family, or just grablunch one day when you’rein the mood for somethingfar better than a homemadesandwich.

We started out with theshrimp and artichoke sautefrom the small plates menu.The artichoke hearts and gi-gantic Gulf shrimp were sau-teed in butter, garlic, whitewine and lemon, which madefor an incredibly flavorfulbeginning.

Choosing an entree wastough with all the appeal-ing options. I went for thechicken dijonnaise, and mycompanion selected the filetmignon. There also are plen-ty of salads, pastas and sea-food options that will have towait for another day.

My chicken was toppedwith a generous helpingof prosciutto and Gruyerecheese, then smotheredwith a “whole grain mus-tard shiitake mushroomcream sauce.” The meat wasperfectly tender and juicy,and the cavalcade of savory

flavors gave me somethingdifferent to detect in everybite.

My companion was just aspleased with the beef, servedwith a “shiitake mushroomport wine reduction sauce.”The verdict? “Tender andjuicy, it cut like butter, and

tasted phenomenal.”After such a satisfying,

rich meal, some folks mightbe tempted to stop there, butwe pressed on – the dessertmenu beckoned. We placedorders for the crème brûléeand the deep-dish apple tart,and we were soon greeted by

generous helpings of each.Café Amano also has an

extensive wine list, easilymore than 70 varieties, andmost available by the glassor bottle. And with its terrif-ic location downtown, it’s agreat option if you also planto do some window shop-

ping or catch a movie whileyou’re out and about.

I still want to try the out-door seating, though. That’llhave to wait for anothervisit.

Café Amano in Elmhurst is at the corner of York Street and Park Avenue.

The chicken dijonnaise at Café Amano: “Pan-seared boneless free-range breast of chicken layered with prosciutto di Parma, Gruyerecheese served with whole grain mustard Shiitake mushroom creamsauce.” It’s as delectable as it sounds.

The filet mignon is tender andjuicy. The grilled onions wereadded by request.

Lemont quarterback Chris Thompson evades a would-be Riverside Brookfield tackler on a touchdown run during the Indians’ 44-20 road win Friday, Sept. 6, 2013.

Lemont overcomes early deficit to top RBBy SCOTT SCHMID

[email protected]

RIVERSIDE – After a rareseason-opening football loss,Lemont’s plan for its roadtrip to Riverside Brookfielddidn’t include an early 14-0deficit.

But led by a new face un-der center, the Indians recov-ered from the first-quarterhole to post a 44-20 victoryand take some much-need-ed momentum into a toughthree-game stretch that in-cludes Richards, Oak Forestand Tinley Park.

“We started off slow,”said Lemont coach Eric Mi-

chaelsen. “We were hopingthe kids could pull it togetherand they did.”

Receiving his first startat quarterback, sophomore

Chris Thompson gave Lem-ont a jolt, throwing for over200 yards.

“He had a real good game,”the coach said. “He made

good decisions and his feetalso give us another weaponout there. He had a good daythrowing the ball and ourkids got open.”

With 2012 standout run-ning back Chris Giatras nowat Augustana, the Indiansare using a running back bycommittee approach. Sevendifferent players carried theball against the Bulldogs withTom Bleka and Julio Alemanboth nearing the 100-yardplateau. Thompson, MichaelLarkins and Ryan Dawsonall scored touchdowns on theground.

“We have a collectionof athletes who can run the

ball,” Michaelsen said. “Theyeach bring a little differentskill set. But I think they allhad a nice game, they ranhard. And the offensive linestill has a ways to go, but Ithought they got their feet un-der them and did a nice job.”

While the win didn’t countany more than a win in anyother week, it was an import-ant milestone for the manyyoung players on the team.

“It shows them that if youput in the hard work, goodthings will happen,” Mi-chaelsen said. “It’s good forthem to have some successand hopefully that will carryover to the next game.”

CHICAGO – With all of the buildupto the opener against the Bengals andthe way the Bears struggled beforefinally prevailing over a qualityopponent, it will be difficult to takethe Vikings as seriously. Some willbe tempted to put this one in the wincolumn before taking a hard look atthe task at hand.

That would be a huge mistake.While the Vikings do appear to

be a better matchup for the Bears,the fact is they have an awful lot incommon with the Bengals. Have weforgotten already that Minnesota hadan identical 10-6 record to Cincinnatilast year and, like the Bengals, werefirst round playoff losers?

Even more to the point, should weignore the fact that it was the Vikingswho knocked the Bears out of a play-

off spot last season with a superiorrecord in the NFC North and a fairlysound 21-14 thumping in week 14?

Take the Vikings lightly at yourown peril. If the Bears do, they’ll be1-1 after two weeks of the season.

The good news is that if the Bearsdo stay focused and prepare properlyfor Minnesota, this is a game theyshould win.

The biggest difference in the Vi-kings and the Bengals is Andy Daltonis a quarterback who can beat youwhile Minnesota’s Christian Ponderis more likely to beat the Vikings.

After an allegedly strong preseason,Ponder struggled in the Vikings open-er in Detroit, going 18-28 for 236 yardsand one 1 TD, but throwing threepicks. The Vikings can’t win if Ponderis that generous with the Bears.

But the Vikes absolutely canknock off the Bears and anybody elseif the NFL’s reigning MVP, AdrianPeterson, takes over the game. In twooutings vs. the Bears last year, Peter-son totaled 49 carries for 262 yardsand two TDs, going over 100 yards on

the ground in both games and addingeight receptions for 46 yards.

On A.P.’s first carry of 2013, hewent 78 yards for a touchdown. Butthe Lions actually held him to 17yards on 15 carries the rest of theway, although he did rush for anotherscore and catch four passes for 18yards and a third TD.

Minnesota’s top three receivers– Greg Jennings, Kyle Rudolph and1st round draft choice CordarrellePatterson – were held to 6 catches for70 yards between them last week. Je-rome Simpson did have seven catchesfor 140 yards.

On defense, the Vikings had ahorrible opener in Detroit, allowing469 yards to the Lions including 352through the air. While Jarred Allendid notch his first sack of the season,it was the only time Matt Stafford waspressured ail day.

We should also note that the Vi-kings defense allowed four of its lastfive 2012 foes to go over 400 yards.

The Vikings will have to be acompletely different team this week

to push the Bears at home. They canbe if Kevin Williams gets healthy andEverson Griffen, Brian Robison andSharrif Floyd decide to help Allenpush the pocket.

The Vikings secondary is iffy, butChad Greenway is a Pro Bowler atoutside linebacker and Eric Hender-son is capable in the middle.

At the end of the day, though, thisone will come down to A.D., as in “AllDay” Adrian Peterson. The Bears dida nice job holding the Bengals to 21carries for 63 yards on the ground, butthis won’t be Benjarvus Green-Ellisand Giovani Bernard.

The Bears have handled A.P. betterthan most, facing him twice in 2007,2008, 2009 and 2012 and once in 2010and 2011. Peterson is 217-1,085, 5.0yards per carry and 13 TDs career vs.the Bears. He’s been held under 100yards rushing in five of his 10 gamesbut has scored in all but two.

The NFL is certainly all about “onany given Sunday.” But if the Bearsdon’t let Peterson beat them, it’s un-likely the Vikings will.

By J.C. TALONFantasy Football columnist

In my preseason column,you were warned about con-ventional wisdom in fantasyfootball. I suggested that sinceevery fantasy football “ex-pert” was imploring you totake running backs early andoften, you might want to con-sider an alternate strategy.

Some of you took issuewith the opinion. In fact, onereader called the logic “deeplyflawed.”

It is way too early to say “Itold you so” … but I’m sayingit anyway. The events of thefirst week are making me looklike a genius.

If you followed the adviceof ESPN.com expert ChrisHarris, who said on the Wad-dle & Silvy radio show thatyou should take “five or six”running backs in the first 10rounds … well, your season isprobably already over.

Let’s review Harris’ top 10

overall players, all RBs:• Adrian Petersen: 93 yards

rushing, two TDs rushingand one receiving. This was agreat day, and, in my defense,I did state that AP was worthyof the top pick. It should benoted that he gained only 15yards on his final 17 carries.

• Arian Foster: 18 carries for57 yards.

• Marshawn Lynch: 43 yardsrushing.

• Ray Rice: 36 yards rushing,one touchdown.

• Doug Martin: 65 yards on 24carries, one touchdown.

• Jamaal Charles: 77 yards,one touchdown.

• LeSean McCoy: 184 yardsand a TD. He had a big day, asdid the Eagles, although theirlast points came on the firstdrive of the second half.

• CJ Spiller: 41 yards rushing.• Trent Richardson: 47 yards

rushing.• Alfred Morris: 46 yards

(makes sense he’d be slottedone spot below the guy with

47 yards).Only one of the 10 ran for

over 100 yards, and five wereheld to under 50 yards! If youpassed on receivers like De-maryius Thomas, A.J. Greenor Larry Fitzgerald – or quar-terbacks such as Peyton Man-ning, Aaron Rodgers or DrewBrees – you are probably kick-ing yourself about now.

On to Week Two …

MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT

Vikings at Bears, noon SundayThe Bears’ offense start-

ed slowly against the Ben-gals, but picked up steam asthe game progressed. TheVikings’ defense allowed 469yards to the Lions. The Bears

might not be able to match De-troit’s offensive weapons, butthey should have success Sun-day. Matt Forte and BrandonMarshall are obvious plays,and Martellus Bennett has achance to be a top-five tightend this week. The Bears’ de-fense is another obvious play;if the Vikes fall behind, Chris-tian Ponder is probably goodfor a couple of turnovers, atleast. If you need a spot starterthis week, consider Jay Cutlerand Alshon Jeffery.

Rams at Falcons, noon SundayIf Arizona can rack up 390

yards of offense on the Rams,it would seem likely that theFalcons – still sore from atough loss in New Orleans –will enjoy offensive success.Julio Jones is an obviousstart, and Matt Ryan is a top-five QB this week. Look forSteven Jackson to bounceback against his old team.

Lions at Cardinals, 3:05 SundayCarson Palmer and Mat-

thew Stafford are solid startsin a game that should featurea lot of points and little de-fense. Reggie Bush appears tobe a must-start every week, asare Calvin Johnson and LarryFitzgerald. Rashard Menden-hall might be worth a start ifyou are thin at running back.

MATCHUP TO AVOID

49ers at Seahawks, 7:30 SundayAs crazy as this might

sound, you might want toconsider back-up options forColin Kaepernick this week.The 49ers struggled mightilyin Seattle last season. Kaeper-nick finished with 244 yardspassing, one TD and one inter-ception. In two games againstthe Seahawks last year, the49ers managed a combined 26points. The Seahawks’ defensemay actually be better than itwas a year ago. Also considerother options for Frank Gore.It would be hard to sit VernonDavis or Anquan Boldin, butexpect drop-offs.

Hmmm ... was I on the money about RBs?

Lemont 1-1Outlook: The last time these

two teams met, Lemont defeatedRichards 23-19 in the secondround of the 2012 Class 6Aplayoffs.But this time around, the Indi-

ans will face a tall order against aBulldogs team that returns plentyof talent from a year ago.Richards, which saw standout

running back TommyMistertransfer to St. Rita, has startedthis fall in strong fashion, defeat-ing Batavia 31-25 last Friday, avictory which came on the heelsof a 58-14 win over Harlan inWeek 1.“They are good and well

coached,” said Lemont coach EricMichaelsen. “Their QB is back andI think they have three defensiveDivision I players and on offense,they have two I believe. They arestacked.”As usual, the Indians will look to

sustain long drives and keep thepotent Richards’ offense, whichis led by quarterback Hasan Mu-hammad-Rogers, on the sidelines.“Offensively, we are going

to do what we do,” the coachsaid. “Control the ball, move thechains. And defensively, we haveto try to not give up the big play.”

Lemont football families to hostMake a Difference event tonight

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

LEMONT – Life wasturned upside down in earlyAugust for Lemont assistantfootball coach Greg Banner.

That’s when Banner andhis wife, Mary, learned theirdaughter, Stefanie, had beendiagnosed with nephroblas-toma – a cancer of the kid-neys that typically occurs inchildren.

Stefanie had surgery theday after she was diagnosed.Since then, she has under-gone radiation treatmentand chemotherapy at LurieChildren’s Hospital in Chica-go. Though she still is fairlyearly in her treatment, herfamily is hopeful that shewill make a full recovery.

The families of Lemont’sfootball coaches are look-ing to support the Banners

with Make a Difference Day,which will be held tonight inconjunction with the Lem-ont-Richards football games.

To help offset the Ban-ners’ medical costs, the fam-ilies of Lemont’s footballcoaches will be taking collec-tions during the sophomoreand varsity football games.The sophomore game is slat-ed to start at 5 p.m., and thevarsity contest will follow at

approximately 7 p.m.Community members

who would like to contrib-ute to Make a Difference Daybut cannot attend the gamescan still help. Donations maybe dropped off in the PupilPersonnel Services Office atLemont High School, 800 Por-ter St., from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30p.m. today. The PPS Officeis located inside the school’smain entrance.

That streak ended with a loss to Plainfield Southin the 2013 opener, but the Indians got back on trackwith a big win over Riverside Brookfield Sept. 6.

A commanding running game, complementarypassing attack and a stout defense helped Lemontovercome an early 14-0 deficit for a 44-20 victory.

LEMONT – In the early stages of the 2013campaign, the Lemont boys soccer team hascertainly shows glimpses of stardom.

But whether the Indians can play that wayon a consistent basis will ultimately decidetheir fate this fall.

“We are still really young and we are stilllooking for some leadership,” said coach RickPrangen. “We have four seniors starting andeverybody else is either a junior or sopho-more. With being young, that brings inconsis-tency. There are moments of really good andother moments where we are making bad, badmistakes.

“So for us, it’s can we keep progressing andcan we play a full 80 minutes. We haven’t donethat yet this year.”

Lemont improved to 2-3-2 on the young sea-son after Monday’s 5-0 victory over EvergreenPark, which kicked off South Suburban Con-ference play. Roy Delatore, who leads the teamwith five goals, found the back of the net twicewhile Kieran Ruane, Clint McCallister andJohn Bermele also scored.

Over the weekend, the Indians hosted theirown tournament and ended up tying East Au-rora 2-2 in the third-place match. Earlier inthe event, the squad notched a 3-1 victory overLincoln-Way West.

Lemont’s losses came in the first threematches of the year to Sandburg, St. Ignatiusand Lockport, the latter two coming by a goal.

“Our losses this year have all come to 3A

teams,” Prangen said. “All were quality op-ponents and we weren’t blown out in any ofthem. A couple of them were 50-50 games andthose come down to the little things. But theywere great practice for the playoffs.”

The South Suburban Conference is expect-ed to be challenging once again. The Indianslost just two matches in league play a year agobut finished as the runner-up to Bremen.

“We’ve got a tough road,” Prangen said.“We have to go to Bremen, we have to go toEisenhower and the TF-coop team (TF United)is having a good year. And we lost to Reavislast year, which was one of our two conferencelosses.”

To reach their high goals, Prangen wouldlike to see improvement in two areas.

“First off, finishing our chances,” he said.“And then closing out games when we are up.Against East Aurora, we were up 2-0. I thinkit comes down to a level of mental toughness.You have to be mentally strong to close gamesout and we are looking for that.”
