Historic Preservation Commission deniespetition to tear down old St. Patrick School
By DAN [email protected]
LEMONT – The village of Lemont’sHistoric Preservation Commissionunanimously voted Feb. 12 to deny apetition by the Archdiocese of Chica-go to demolish the former St. PatrickSchool on Illinois Street.
Archdiocese director of facilitiesKevin O’Malley said the archdiocesewill appeal the decision to the LemontVillage Board.
The archdiocese has said the 1880sbuilding has deteriorated to the pointthat it is unusable and repairs wouldbe too costly.
The building was closed 12 yearsago after it was determined to be un-safe. The archdiocese estimates itwould cost $1.25 million just to makethe building safe.
However, because the building is ina historic district, the archdiocese needsapproval from the village to tear it down.
Proponents of saving the building,many of whom attended the meeting,said it is historically significant as oneof the buildings constructed with lime-stone from the Lemont quarries and
as the first school in Lemont to offersecondary education.
The village of Lemont Planning andEconomic Development departmentcited the building’s place as part of theLemont skyline in its recommendationto deny the demolition application.
The report noted that while thebuilding has deteriorated, particular-ly the roof, there are no safety con-cerns that would require demolition
of the entire building.It also said the high cost of repairs
are because the archdiocese has failed tomake needed repairs for at least 10 years.
Barbara Buschman, who heads thecommission, said the archdiocese rep-resentatives at the meeting were briefin their explanation of why they want-ed to demolish the building.
“I was kind of disappointed,” shesaid. “I thought that they would makea presentation.”
O’Malley said the archdiocese is “inthe process of evaluating available op-tions acceptable to the church and com-munity at large.” He said he could notelaborate on what those options wouldbe other than demolishing the school.
Buschman said a couple of develop-ers expressed interest in looking at thebuilding to see if it is worth renovat-ing, but the archdiocese has said it willnot sell the building.
The building is adjacent to the St.Patrick Church, and the archdiocesehas said it is against its policy to sellproperty that close to a church building.
O’Malley also said the archdioceseis hesitant to sell property that could
be utilized in the future.

Local Citgo unionworks on contract
By DAN [email protected]
LEMONT – As members of the Unit-ed Steelworkers have gone on strike atnine oil refineries across the nation,the USW 7-517 Lemont is negotiatingwith the Lemont Citgo Refinery on itsown contract.
The local union has been workingon a 24-hour rolling extension of a con-tract that expired at midnight Feb. 1.
Though they have their own localissues to work out, local union chapterpresident Mike Hendry said the laborcontract at the local level will not becompleted until the USW and RoyalDutch Shell reach an agreement intheir national negotiations.
“Even if we have a local agreementsigned, it wouldn’t be finished until thenational agreement is signed,” he said.
Citgo did not provide a statementregarding the negotiations in time forpublication.
Hendry said the dispute betweenthe two sides is not about wages.
“While we’re all in favor of hugeraises, our heart is about staffing andhealth and safety,” he said.

He said the Lemont refinery is un-dermanned, forcing workers to put inovertime averaging 35 to 50 percent.
He said that while records make itlook like the refinery is fully staffed,hourly employees are borrowed for ex-tended periods to replace supervisors.
Hendry also said the union is con-cerned about the outside contractorsCitgo hires.
He said the union does not knowwhat qualifications these contractorshave, which could potentially put theother workers’ safety at risk.
Hendry said some of the union’slocal issues are the same for unionsacross the country, which is why bothsides are taking their cues from the na-
tional negotiations.He said that each time Shell makes
an offer, Citgo will make the same offerto local unions to show they are goingto follow the national policy.
In turn, the USW National Oil Bar-gaining Policy Committee determinesthe strategy of local unions, such aswhich ones go on strike.
Because of this, Hendry said he doesnot know if the Lemont union wouldstrike, even with strikes happening asclosely as the BP refinery in Whiting, Ind.
He said one misconception is thatwork stoppage at oil refineries affectsprices at gas stations.
He said those prices have more todo with the source from where the oilis being bought.
“It’s a fallacy to say the price at thepump is affected whether we are or ar-en’t on strike,” he said.

Resident-only parking neededI live on Singer Avenue in Lemont. Could
the village please put up a sign on thecorner of Singer and Peiffer [avenues], the900 block of Singer, stating, “No overnightparking. Parking for residents only,” sothat we the people who live on Singercan park in front of our own houses?Why can’t the people from the apartmenthouse park on both sides of Peiffer street,and why don’t they have village stickers?
Check speeders on Frontage RoadThis is a response to a Feb. 6 Sound Off
about “Don’t use church for speed trap.”I say good for Lemont police for possiblypreventing an accident. If that’s where theyhave to sit and catch the speeders, goodfor them, and if the person didn’t like it, it’sprobably because they’re speeding throughthere. I wish somebody would sit on theFrontage Road. They use the Frontage Roadfrom Lemont Road toWoodward [Ave.] asan alternate [Interstate] 355. They speedthrough here; they drop garbage. I’m pay-ing taxes, but there’s no one ever sittingand checking the speeders here.
Where’s the religious tolerance?Why do people feel compelled to deni-
grate other religions and thenwonder whythere are consequences to their actions?Freedom of speechmeans you “can,” butdoes it mean you “should”?Where is thehumor inmocking any religion, whether itbe through political cartoons comparingMohammed to a dog, “Saturday NightLive”-type programsmaking fun of Muslimsand Christians, so-called “artistic” displaysplacing Christ immersed in urine, protest-ers making amockery of religious ritesfor fallen servicemen at cemeteries, etc.?Wouldn’t the world be a better place if all ofus recognized how sacred each individualreligion is to the followers of that religion?
Too much focus on pollsOur political campaigns have become
too expensive and much too long.There is some value for the voter in thetelevised debates. At least, we can learnwhat positions the candidates have oncertain issues. But the TV media doesfocus too much on polls and pollsters. Itcan always find a poll somewhere thatwill support its agenda, and then it be-comes the news. Is everyone watching?

You may have heard that we had some unexpected – andcertainly, unwanted – excitement a couple of weeks ago.
On Feb. 8, a fire alarm sounded in the building. Eugene Gold-smith, a Buildings and Grounds team member who lives acrossthe street from the school, wasfirst on the scene and discov-ered water flooding the build-ing’s first floor – including theelevator shaft, which causedthe alarm. His quick responseprevented the situation frombecoming worse, but the damage already done was extensive.
A water pipe in the ceiling of the first floor came apart at theelbow joint, which led to several inches of water covering mostof the first floor of the building, including seven classrooms,two computer labs and nearly all of our PPS Office.
It was evident quite quickly that our students, faculty andstaff would be getting an unexpected day off.
We wasted no time calling in the professionals. ServPro,which specializes in these types of situations, immediately wasbrought on site. Its employees worked until 2:30 a.m., and thenwere back on campus all day the following day. Their workmade it possible for us to resume classes on Tuesday, Feb. 10.
The classrooms, departmental offices and restroom facilitieswere usable when we reconvened after being treated with theappropriate anti-microbial and anti-fungal agents.
However, the computer labs were a different story. The pow-er outlets in these labs are in the floor, and the flood obviouslyposed a major problem. Classes that regularly meet in theselabs were temporarily relocated, but the computer labs wereback in business when our students returned from the Presi-dents Day weekend.
Because of damage to the carpet and drywall, we knew it wouldtake several days for the PPS Office to be inhabitable. As a result,those who typically call the PPS Office home were relocatedthroughout the building. However, these moves went off withouta hitch, and during a week-long relocation, our students had thesame services available to them as they would any other day.
Insurance will cover an overwhelming majority of the costsassociated with the flood, but it could have cost us something thatinsurance can’t cover – lost instruction time. I’m happy to reportLemont High School is back to its regular state – dry, and freefrom flooding. Our faculty, staff and students smoothly dealt withany inconveniences. And the days after the flood included thesame quality instruction that is the norm at Lemont High School.
Mary Ticknor is superintendent of Lemont High School D-210.
Unexpected floodcan’t stop learning

Here’s a unique and fun way to enjoy the winter weather. The
Lemont-based Green Valley Dog Drivers provided dog sledding
entertainment Feb. 8 during the Brookfield Zoo FREEze Day. The
event was free, but these dogs would definitely be worth the price
of admission if there was a fee.
What’s the longest bike ride you’ve ever taken? Lemont resident
and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign senior Sarah
Halko will pedal from New York to San Francisco this summer to

about 2 1/2 months to tread the 4,000 miles. But before she sad-
dles up in May, Halko will host a fundraiser March 26 at the Tap
House Grill in Lemont. Good luck, Sarah, and may the road rise

Contact Sports Editor Alex Soulier, [email protected] or 630-427-6247SPORTSLemont advances to regional final
By SCOTT [email protected]
WESTCHESTER – Despitehaving three juniors and onesenior on its roster, the youth-ful Lemont girls basketballteam is playing well beyond itsyears.
After wrapping up theSouth Suburban Blue confer-ence title last week, the Indiansextended their winning streakto seven games by knockingoff the host school 53-49 in a St.Joseph Class 3A regional semi-final Wednesday.
Not only did 12th-seededLemont [17-11] defeat the No. 5Chargers on their home floor,the Indians did it while over-coming a 20-5 run by St. Joe inthe second half which turnedan 11-point lead into a fourpoint deficit midway throughthe fourth quarter.
“That was the best part ofthe night,” Lemont coach BillBozue said. “And that’s whatwe’ve been doing lately. Theynever give up and they keepplaying hard. We might makesome mistakes but they al-ways play hard.”
As has been the casethroughout the winter, thevisitors received balancedscoring, led by the 16 pointsof freshman Emma Bozue.Junior Marissa Dyer had 13points, sophomore ShannonO’Donnell totaled nine andsophomore Ali Kramer fin-ished with seven.
“That’s the beauty of it,”Bozue said. “I can’t tell youhow many different leadingscorers we’ve had. Teams haveto play all five kids whom areon the floor. All are averagingsomewhere between 8.2 and 6.7points [per game].”
Next up for the Indians is adate with Glenbard South inthe regional final tonight at 7p.m. The Raiders are almostthe complete opposite of Lem-ont with four senior starters,three of whom are four-year
varsity players. The two teamsmet in the first game of the sea-son with Glenbard South pre-vailing 43-20.
“We played them the firstgame of the year and nowwe play them in the region-al championship,” the coachsaid. “It’s a bit of a measur-ing stick to see how far we’vecome.”
The Indians opened thepostseason with a 65-10 winover Chicago Noble/Raun-er on Feb. 17. Paige Terrazasscored 10 points to lead theway.
Lemont closed out the reg-ular season with a 39-33 winagainst Chicago Christianon Feb. 12. Kramer totaled14 points and Quinn Shereckchipped in with 10.
Two days earlier, the squadwrapped up SSC Blue champi-onship after picking up a 59-41decision against Tinley Parkas Dyer poured in 16 points.The Indians, who won theirfirst title since 2009, finishedwith a 10-3 league mark. Thesophomore team also won theconference title after posting arecord of 12-1 and 24-5 overall.
“Our conference has sometremendously athletic teams,”Bozue said. “It’s a juggernaut.We won it at 10-3 and therewere three teams behind uswho had four losses.”

The Lemont wrestling program hashad a lot of success on the mats in recentyears, including third- and fourth-placeteam finishes in 2010 and 2011 and sevenindividual state qualifiers in 2012.
And the Indians added anotherchapter to their growing list of accom-plishments last Saturday when sixwrestlers qualified for the IHSA indi-vidual state tournament out of the DeLa Salle Class 2A sectional.
“I thought the kids wrestled real wellover the weekend,” Lemont coach JohnSt. Clair said. “We had to beat some kidsthat we hadn’t beat during the year andwe did that for the most part. We seemto be wrestling real well here at the end.We seem to be peaking at the right time.”
Leading the charge was JimmyBrennan, who captured the title at 145pounds with a pin over Jonathan Szdloof Riverside-Brookfield in the champi-
onship match.“He’s a four year varsity kid and
this is his third time being a state qual-ifier,” St. Clair said. “The only year hedidn’t qualify is when he had surgeryand was out. He’s doing a fantastic jobthis year, not only with wrestling butalso being a leader. He is definitely amotivator. He’s having a lot of successand helping other kids do the same.”
Sophomore Egan Berta was third at138 and Jake Kirkman finished thirdat 152. Both Berta and Kirkman werestate qualifiers last year as well.
“They also made it down as fresh-man and they are hoping to take thenext step,” the coach said. “The maingoal is to make it to the podium. Butboth are in very competitive bracketsso they will have to wrestle their best.”
Junior John Polk came in third at170 while seniors Dimitri Giatras andRyan Glynn punched their ticket to thestate meet for the first time after finish-ing fourth at 160 and 126, respectively.
“Dimitri didn’t make it out of theregional last year,” St. Clair said. “Sofrom not making the sectional to mak-ing it downstate, he obviously hasgrown as a wrestler. And Ryan fell onematch short last year. He has workedvery hard to get to this point.”
After the individual portion of thestate series wraps up, Lemont will re-turn to the team portion Tuesday whenthe Indians go up against De La Salle ina Class 2A sectional at Oak Forest witha state berth on the line.
“This was our first time winningthe regional since 2011,” St. Claire said.“It’s a lot of fun. Our sport is an indi-vidual sport but it’s unique, it meldsboth of them [individual and team] to-gether. It’s a lot of fun to compete foreach other and it is an opportunity tomake it to the biggest stage as a team.
“De La Salle is tough, they are hard-nosed and they are well-coached. Ev-eryone who steps on the mat has to beready.”
