    Village OKs La Dolce Vita additionBy DAN FARNHAM

    [email protected]

    LEMONT La Dolce Vita, 107 Ste-phen St., will construct an addition on the back of the restaurant that should improve wait times for food.

    The Lemont Village Board approved the addition during its July 27 meeting.

    Because the addition will cause the building to take up more space on its lot than is allowed in Downtown Dis-trict property, the project needed per-mission from the village before it could be constructed.

    The addition will be about 812 square feet on the west end of the building, off Talcott Avenue and next to an alley.

    With the two-story addition, the

    restaurant will be able to expand its kitchen area and add an elevator.

    La Dolce Vita owner Michael Mar-tin said the addition to the building should help with the proficiency of the restaurant.

    He said the restaurant prepares all of its dishes fresh, which can take time.

    If I look at all the complaints that I have, its about [the wait time during] the rush hour between 6 and 8 p.m., he said.

    He said a larger kitchen will help the cooks more quickly prepare dishes, as well as create a more comfortable work environment for the cooks by im-proving ventilation.

    The elevator will allow for easier ac-cess to the second floor. The restaurant currently has only a narrow staircase.

    The building is classified as part of the villages historic central business district.

    Adding the extension to the build-ing will cause the building to take up 93.5 percent of the lot, which exceeds the 80 percent maximum for buildings in that district.

    However, village staff said the ad-dition to the building has precedent. Many of the surrounding buildings al-ready exceed the 80 percent lot cover-age maximum.

    Martin said the addition will cost about $500,000 and he expects it to be completed by Easter.

    Im absolutely after trying to [give] the customer a better dining experi-ence, he said.

    La Dolce Vita in downtown Lemont will add to the back of its building to expand its kitchen and install an elevator.

    By DAN FARNHAM [email protected]

    LEMONT The Lemont Village Board approved resurfacing four streets at a cost of $309,374.04 during the boards July 27 meeting.

    The project will involve resurfac-ing Ledochowski Street, from Schul-tz Street to McCarthy Road; Crest-view Drive, from Keepataw Drive to Hillview Drive; Holmes Street, from McCarthy Road to Main Street; and Julia Street, from McCarthy Road to Main Street.

    The project is an addition to the villages capital improvements budget that the board approved in April.

    The village had not included pay-ing for some of the planned road projects because it was waiting to see whether the states budget would cut municipal funding.

    We were hopeful that the [state] budget would be resolved by July 1, Village Administrator George Scha-fer said.

    With the state budget still not ap-proved, the village had to move for-ward with the project to complete it before construction season ended, he said.

    He said the village is still taking a cautious approach with its budget, but the village will be able to afford the repaving project even if the state makes drastic cuts to the amount of funding it gives municipalities.

    Ledochowski and Crestview al-ready were planned to be repaved after road construction to replace water mains, and Julia and Holmes were included as the next two streets most in need of repaving, he said.

    Lemont moves forward with capital projectsDecision comes while waiting for state budget to be approved

    Board approves tentative budget, new purchasesBy DAN FARNHAM

    [email protected]

    LEMONT The Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A took action on its tentative fiscal year 2016 budget and the purchase of new pro-jectors during its July 29 meeting.

    1. Preliminary budget presentedThe board approved a tentative

    budget consisting of a projected $27.873 million in expenditures and $28.86 million in revenue.

    A public hearing on the budget will be held during the boards Sept. 16 meeting, after which the board will vote on the final budget.

    District Business Manager Barbara Germany said the district will use its budget surplus to build up its fund balance while it can.

    She said the district anticipates the surplus to decrease in future years as expenditures such as teacher salaries increase and the revenue stays the same.

    Germany said the states failure to pass its budget this year will not affect the district as much as the village of

    Lemont because state aid makes up a relatively small portion of its revenue. However, she said she will keep a close eye on the states budget deci-sions to see how they may affect the districts finances.

    2. New projectors purchasedAs part of the 2016 budget, the

    board approved the purchase of new projectors for the districts schools at a cost of $196,619.13.

    The board had asked at the previous meeting that the district explore multi-year financing options for the purchase, but the district administration advised paying for the projectors outright while it had room for it in this years budget.

    3. Derby Road property to be appraisedAs the district determines whether

    it wants to use or sell a vacant farm property on Derby Road, the board voted to pay $3,290 to have the proper-ty appraised.

    The vote was 5-2, with board mem-bers Brian Bushnell and Dave Molitor voting against it.

    Molitor said he does not know why the board wants to spend money to appraise the value of the property for possible sale when it has yet to decide whether it wants to use the land.

    4. New field trips plannedLooking to bring back some larger

    field trips, new Old Quarry Middle School Principal Johnny Billings-ley proposed a special trip for each grade level for the upcoming school year.

    The board approved the trips, which will be to the White Pines Dude Ranch for sixth grade, Springfield for seventh grade and Washington, D.C. for eighth grade.

    Each trip will be parent-funded: $150 per students for the White Pines trip; $109 for the Springfield trip; and $1,275 for the Washington trip.

    To help families pay for the Washington trip, Billingsley said he is exploring student fundraiser and scholarship opportunities.

    Although the village is not receiving motor fuel and video gaming tax rev-enue while the state budget is at a stalemate, Schafer said the village has enough money in its fund balance and working cash fund that it is not in financial danger.

    In other board action, the board approved rezoning the property at 15800 New Ave. to the Downtown Dis-trict.

    With the rezoning, own-ers of the property, com-monly known as the Old Mill Shops, will be able to convert the second floor into apartments.

    The board also appointed new members to two of its commissions.

    Matt Zolecki was ap-pointed to the Planning and Zoning Commission.

    Matt Brady was appoint-ed to the police commission. He previously has served on the Liquor Control Commis-sion.

    Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A wel-comed a new principal, Mr. Johnny Billingsley, on July 1. Mr. Billingsley, also known as Mr. B., was named the West 40 Principal of the Year through the Illinois Principals Asso-ciation in 2015 and led his former middle school to state and national recognition as a School to Watch.

    The search to find Mr. Bill-ingsley involved a rigorous process including a candidate pool of more than 75 appli-cants and multiple rounds of interviews with adminis-trators, staff, parents, the Board of Education, and community leaders. The interview process also included various perfor-mance assessments related to a principals responsibilities as well as a site visit.

    Old Quarry Middle School has long had a reputation for academic excellence. Mr. Billingsleys vision is rooted in the research of high-performing and highly successful middle schools that are academically excellent and developmentally responsive. Developmentally responsive schools involve fam-ilies and students in the decision-making process and engage them as partners in learning, a major focus for Billingsley.

    Mr. Billingsley quickly immersed himself into the position and began meeting with staff, students, parents, and commu-nity members. He conducted a needs assessment, reviewed all relevant student data and gathered input from teachers on the strengths and areas of growth.

    Mr. Billingsley plans to meet monthly with student leaders to discuss academics, extracurricular activities, and school climate. These conversations will be used to set goals and help build a strong coalition among administration, students and teachers. Under Mr. Billingsleys leadership, Old Quarry already has developed a comprehensive plan to engage parents and community organizations on a monthly basis.

    Mr. Billingsley embodies all of the attributes that the district was seeking in a principal and has the qualities that we expect of our school leaders. He is extremely knowledge-able and knows what it takes to be a school of excellence and has high standards for everyone in the learning community, including himself. He understands the academic, social and emotional needs of middle school students and brings experi-ence, energy, and enthusiasm to the position.

    Please join us in welcoming Mr. Billingsley to Old Quarry Middle School.

    Courtney Orzel is the superintendent of schools at District 113A.

    OUR VIEW

    Now that the votes are counted and the sales tax hike is set to go into effect Jan. 1, the next step will be to monitor what effect it has on Cook County businesses and citi-zens. Thats a tough thing to quantify, as the big-picture data that tells you how a region is doing often takes months or years to compile and analyze.

    Therell be anecdotal evidence by the cart load, as new businesses go elsewhere, and families pass up large purchases because everyday items cost more than they used to.

    While Suburban Life spoke out against the hike before it was passed and urged the Cook County Board to reconsider the plan, we ha-vent lost sight of who the true villains are in this story the leaders of the Legislature in Springfield who continue to ignore the issue of public pension underfunding.

    Since the make-believe effort passed under then-Gov. Quinn was predictably ruled unconstitutional by the Illinois Supreme Court, there has been no legitimate proposal

    to address the issue in a way that will last. Sadly, at this moment state leaders cant even agree on a much smaller issue, that of a state budget for the rest of the year.

    You could ascribe the gridlock to animosi-ty between the political parties, but given that Speaker Michael Madigan has shown no incli-nation to cooperate with past governors of his own party, its hard to lay too much blame at the feet of Gov. Rauner just yet. All were left to do is shake our heads in disbelief that a sin-gle man Madigan can wield so much power for so long and yet retain his position even as the fiscal state of the state and of Cook County continues to deteriorate on his watch.

    Cook County is raising the sales tax to attempt to meet a $400 million deficit in its pension obligations. In the process, many new debts will be created, both literal and figurative. The debt that all of our political leaders owe to our poorest citizens and small business owners in good governance is mas-sive, and growing at an alarming rate.

    Real solutions for Cook County have to come from Springfield

    CHICAGO RED STARS VS WASHINGTON SPIRITSAT. JULY 25

    RED STARS: 1 WASHINGTON SPIRIT: 1

    Copyright Daniel Bartel

    Germantown, Md. The NWSL-leading ChicagoRed Stars nearly handed third-place Washing-ton Spirit its rst home defeat of the season onSaturday night, with forward Christen Press givingChicago the lead in the rst half with a stunninglong-range shot. League leading goal scorer Crys-tal Dunn tied the match in the nal ten minutesof an entertaining game that saw Chicago deliveranother strong showing to remain undefeated infour straight matches.The Red Stars, had the rst promising look of thematchup in just the sixth minute of play: goalkeep-er Ashlyn Harris did well to palm away a powerfulshot from Canucks striker Adriana Leon. Washing-ton created a chance of its own four minutes later,but Laura del Rios driven shot from inside thebox was kept out by Canada international, KarinaLeBlanc, who cleared the ball from her area.Press would give the Red Stars the lead in the 30thminute courtesy of her second goal in as manymatches since winning the World Cup with theU.S. The 26-year-old found herself with time andspace inside the Spirits half, she took a few touch-es from well outside the box before unleashing arocket past an outstretched Harris and inside theleft upright.Taryn Hemmings excellent work on the right couldhave given Press another goal in stoppage time ofthe rst half, but the forwards near post ick wasdeected wide. Forward Jen Hoy had one last lookfor Chicago before the break: World Cup GoldenBall nominee Julie Johnston dribbled into the boxon the right and delivered the ball to the formerPrinceton standout, whose attempt from closerange was blocked by a Washington defender.In the second half, Red Stars center back Johnstonhad a pair of excellent clearances on both sidesof a dangerous 56th-minute shot by the SpiritsDunn, who unleashed a left footed shot from justoutside the area, only to see the ball whistle over

    the frame. On the other end of the eld VanessaDiBernardo navigated around a defender on theright and picked out Hoy, whose close range at-tempt forced a point-black reex save from Harris.Moments after Chicago defender Samantha John-sons 80th-minute challenge against WashingtonsDunn in the box was ruled to have been fair, theSpirit striker tied the match from the run of play,pouncing on the rebound from a blocked ChristineNairn effort. After controlling the ball, the 23-year-old Dunn drove a low, left-footed shot inside theleft post that gave goalkeeper LeBlanc no chanceto save it.Chicago immediately responded, but rookiesensation Soa Huerta saw her right-footed curlerfrom the left side of the box saved in spectacularfashion by Harris, who left her feet and tipped theball out from behind her before it could nd itsway inside the far post.The Spirit subsequently created a pair of chancesto win the game. First, substitute Hayley Rasoreleased a cracker of shot that took a deectionand went wide of the left upright. Then, Ali Kriegerfound Dunn on the right, who then drove into thepenalty area before ring toward the near post toforce a diving save from LeBlanc.It took one last goal-line clearance from the RedStars Johnston for the visitors to bag a valuableaway point from the draw, which puts Head CoachRory Dames squad two points ahead of sec-ond-place Seattle Reign FC in the standings.The Chicago Red Stars look to defend their topspot in the NWSL standings when they returnhome for an August 1 clash with defendingNWSL champions FC Kansas City that is likely tofeature several World Cup winners on both teams.Single-game and season tickets for the 2015campaign may be purchased by visitingwww.chicagoredstars.com or by calling773-698-6001.

    Another Press Stunner Earns Chicago 1-1 Tie at WashingtonDunn scores late to prevent Spirits rst home defeat of 2015

    SOUND OFFCurrent laws need to be enforced to stop shootings, not new ones

    Every time some nut case shoots peo-ple, whether for weird religious reasons or for other reasons, politicians scream for more gun control. When they do this, they are covering up the fact that federal laws are already in place to address such crimes. We have the laws we need; what we dont seem to have is federal prosecutors to apply the laws and keep the monsters off the street. If those laws had been applied earlier, many of those people would not have been out of prison to murder people.

    Teachers work more and harder than you think

    Teachers work far more hours than their contracted 180 days: Meetings before and after school, planning time, required professional development, grading, administrative paper work and before/after school activities, which sometimes include tutoring. Yes, we do technically have about two months off during the summer. But are we really off? During the summer many teachers are seeking additional resources, working in their classrooms to prep for the upcoming school year, taking courses to further perfect their craft and enrich their students learning experience or working a summer job to supplement their teachers salary. Mind you, teachers are 10-month salary employees. Lets put a teachers average salary into perspective: The average teachers salary nationwide is $50,000. I would say thats a super deal!

    Michael Madigan and John Cullerton are to blame

    Rep. [Michael] Zalewskis concern for safe-ty, crime prevention, disabled people and other services provided to various people as he stated in his news release is commend-able. It follows the talking points that are dictated by Michael Madigan and used in his news statements. Madigan is trying to press the issue to justify a tax increase on the mid-dle class, as usual, and try to deflect blame onto Gov. [Bruce] Rauner. The governor did not create the financial problems that exist in Illinois. They are the product of 30 years of Madigan and John Cullerton controlling the state legislative houses. It may behoove Zalewski, who is a member of the finance committee, to read the states constitution regarding appropriations of public funds not exceeding estimated available funds. If we keep going in the same direction under Madigan, Illinois will be financially destitute.

    The producers vs. the parasitesTo the caller complaining about Gov.

    Rauners so-called austerity. Im sorry, but the producers owe the parasites nothing. The welfare state creates grateful recipients and resentful donors. Its time to eliminate entitlements and subsidies and promote charity instead.

    Politicians are above the lawThe feds ease off on the investigation

    into Hillary Clinton having kept classified emails on her personal server. She said there were no classified materials on her server that should not have ended it. Ordinary people like us must follow federal law. Special people like politicians dont need to. Case closed. So what else is new?

    Trump and veteransDonald Trump, youre totally wrong on your

    thinking of what makes a hero. Every one of our men and women who serve in U.S. Armed Forces is a hero. Your classification of John McCain is totally wrong. Why dont you get out of the United States of America?

    In defense of teacher salaries I dont understand why theres so much

    griping about teachers. Im not a teacher, but my daughter has a third-year teacher in the Chicago suburbs whose starting salary was about $34,000. Thats a rather meager salary for someone who invested a lot of money to get a bachelors degree. If we as a society are not willing to offer new teachers (more than) a meager sala-ry, that will only discourage our brightest students from becoming teachers. Our young people know that more money can be made as an engineer, medical technician or many other professions that require a four-year degree. The future of this country depends on the quality of education that we provide our youth. It is in our national interest to pay teachers a competitive salary, so they can prepare the next generation of designers, builders and leaders of the world so that we can compete against rising powers like China.

    Gov. Rauner doesnt care about the working poor

    I agree with whomever spoke up about Gov. Rauner. Hes not for the working poor, as we already are finding out. So we know it wasnt us who voted for him. Probably all the wealthy people that are getting the tax breaks.

    HINSDALE It didnt take long for the newly opened Fuller House to distinguish it-self from other restaurants in downtown Hinsdale. A large and lively outdoor patio set the scene before my date and I entered an equally vibrant pub atmosphere.

    Greeted just inside the front door by the hostess, we first noticed the expansive bar centered on the ground floor of the two-story establish-ment. With the restaurant just a stones throw from the train station, it simply screams to be a gathering spot for the af-ter-work crowd. Fuller House offers a variety of specialty cocktails, plus a solid craft beer selection we enjoyed sampling.

    Hungrily taking up our menus, we scanned the wide array of salads, pizzas, burgers and other hand-held items, opting for an appetizer to start.

    We considered the wood-fired pretzel sticks with honey mustard and pimento cheese sauces, as well as a cheese and charcuterie plate, before settling on Wisconsin cheese curds with a zesty Southwest ranch dipping sauce. Lightly breaded and fried to a perfect crispiness outside, the curds had a wonderful texture.

    Several main courses tickled our fancies. My date contemplated the fried buffalo chicken sandwich with blue cheese crumbles, along with several of the wood-fired pizzas prepared in the blazing oven in plain sight on the edge of the dining area. She ultimately decided on the 10-inch arugula and prosciutto pizza with lemon, garlic and an olive oil drizzle. None of the flavors were hidden the earthy taste of the arugula, the saltiness of the prosciutto and the creaminess of fresh mozzarella all intertwined in a delightful combination.

    Nearly every entree sound-ed appetizing to me, including the fish and chips, brisket tacos and pulled pork sand-wich, but the burgers were

    too enticing. The Red Devil burger (which Im sure lives up to its name with grilled jalapeo and habanero mayo) was the runner-up to the Der-by Winner with fried onion strings, Nueskes bacon and bourbon-barbecue sauce. The patty was perfectly cooked to my desired medium and had an enticing smoky flavor that

    went nicely with the thick-cut bacon and the sweetness of the barbecue sauce.

    As a side dish, I upgraded to Parmesan truffle fries for an extra charge and was glad I did. To die for, they were nice and crisp with plenty of tasty truffle coming through.

    After the filling entrees, we craved a lighter dessert,

    although the chocolate chip and salted pretzel cookie skillet sounded like a sweet treat after my own heart. Between a root beer float and banana pudding, we chose the pudding. Cutely presented in a small mason jar and gar-nished with a mint leaf, the confection was topped with whipped cream and a bour-

    bon-caramel sauce, but the pudding and vanilla wafers stole the show.

    Not having known what to expect at this newer establish-ment, and now filled to the gills with delicious offerings, my companion summed up the meal perfectly by simply saying, The food is really good.

    Hinsdale has a number of fine eatery offerings, but Fuller House stands out with its casual atmosphere and bar-and-grill-menu options. There are plenty of TVs to watch the game, but the rustic-modern decor with subway tile and brick accents establishes the restaurant as more than a neighborhood sports bar.

    Our server was courteous and attentive without being intrusive and had no objec-tions when we asked if we could move from a high-top to a table a bit farther from the bar.

    From its location to its atmosphere, menu and drink selection, its a good bet the pub will keep drawing a full house.

    It used to be that elite high school athletes had three jerseys in their clos-ets one for a fall sport, one for a win-ter sport, and one for a spring sport.

    Many high school athletes today still have three jerseys in the closet, though things are slightly different. Increasing-ly, those jerseys are home and away high school jerseys for one sport and a uni-form for a club team in that same sport.

    More and more high school athletes are choosing to specialize in one sport with year-round competition aided by a plethora of AAU and club programs.

    The downside is fewer well-round-ed athletes representing their high schools, but there are plenty of benefits for high school athletes willing to spe-cialize in one sport by playing for clubs and on AAU teams in the offseason.

    Options aboundSports Performance is one of the

    elite volleyball clubs in the country. Its 18U red and 18U elite teams won AAU national titles in June.

    Its not just volleyball players who have a plethora of competition options in the offseason and are benefiting from extra coaching.

    AAU basketball is busy in the sum-mer with players competing in tour-naments across the country with area teams such as Chicago Lockdown, Illi-nois Wolves and Mercury Elite for boys and Illinois Lady Lightning for girls.

    I do believe with the hyper-inten-siveness of athletes these days every-one is looking for an edge, Lemont High School boys basketball coach Rick Runaas said. If you are that passionate about it and want to get that edge, you have to play as much as possible.

    We try to steer them to programs that are beneficial, that look out for the best interests of the kids.

    Traveling teams also are huge for baseball, softball and soccer players, and the competition just as fierce. Some soccer players choose to forgo their high school teams and focus sole-ly on club ball. Aleksandra Mihailovic did both, starring for Lemont High Schools girls soccer team while also playing with the Chicago Blast club team.

    Baseball and softball players also have a number of options in the offseason.

    Top Tier Baseball draws from across Illinois and northwest Indiana. Long-shots baseball is based in Downers Grove but draws from a wide area. Lem-onts Casey OBrien played Longshots baseball this summer while some of his teammates are involved with Elite Baseball [Garrett Acton and Ryan Sub-lette], Rhino Baseball [Austin Tittle], 29ers Baseball and the Illinois Sparks.

    It gives our kids great exposure to college coaches and scouts, Lemont baseball coach Brian Storako said. It is easier to be seen at a tournament with 40-plus teams. I think it is good for players to play against top competition all summer long.

    The Lemont Rockers is a well-known softball organization, with 2015 Indians graduate and Western Illinois University recruit Rylie Jay a member of the 18U squad.

    Benefits and drawbacksFor the athletes, there are obvious

    benefits to devoting time to a club team in the offseason. Those benefits include more hands-on coaching, time to work

    and improve on specific skills, and a chance to play against elite competi-tion in front of college coaches.

    In baseball, basketball, softball and volleyball, the college and high school seasons run concurrently, which limits the amount of time college coaches can devote to watching prospects in person. There also are NCAA restrictions re-garding the amount of contact coaches can have with players at certain times, restrictions that are lessened during the summer, and since college coaches ar-ent busy coaching their teams they are able to flock to the large tournaments and watch hundreds of the best players from across the country compete.

    In the short term, a strong show-ing in a tournament in front of college coaches is a great way to gain notori-ety and can lead to a next-level oppor-tunity. Even if a scholarship doesnt come at the end of the summer, playing against elite competition in the offsea-son is a great way to improve.

    In basketball especially, all of the live periods come in the summertime, said Runaas, who added that point guard PJ Pipes really has increased his college stock this summer. College

    coaches have a lot more opportunities to see kids in the summer. So exposure is the main thing.

    Also it is good for them to go out and learn from different people. Just pick up as much knowledge as they can and bring that back and incorporate it into our situation.

    The invite-only Beverly Bandits 16U softball team is an extreme example of a travel team. In addition to players from south suburban Chicago, such as Lemonts Maddy Vermejan, and north-west Indiana, they have players who hail from Indianapolis, northern Wis-consin, Virginia and West Virginia. With so many far-flung players, prac-tice during the summer is nearly non-existent.

    In the summer its usually just [playing on] weekends, said Ron Havelka, who coaches Downers Grove South softball in the spring and is an as-sistant with the Bandits in the summer.

    Some travel and club teams focus on competing in games, while others incor-porate practices into the routine. Long-shots baseball works on position-specif-ic skills during fall practices and has a winter program three days per week.

    Both sides of the line?There are plenty of options avail-

    able for high school athletes looking to stay competitive in their sports in between high school seasons, each one offering a little something different.

    Some programs focus on playing in highly-competitive tournaments with the thought being the competition will make players better, while other pro-grams balance skill development and live competition. There is something to be gained from staying sharp in the offseason and playing outside of high school, and there are some tangible ben-efits in the form of college opportuni-ties, but thats for each athlete to decide.

    If you want to test yourself against the kind of competition you see at the AAU level, its going to give you an edge as a player, Mercury Elite and Downers Grove North boys varsity basketball coach Jim Thomas said. But I dont tell the kids at Downers North they have to play.

    S16 Lots of sports options for athletes looking to specialize

    SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

    Athletes who decide to specialize in one sport have plenty of options to choose from. Club and AAU teams not only offer top-notch competition, but the chance to get noticed by coaches at the college level. Here are just some of the organizations in the area that pro-vide playing opportunities outside of high school and junior high.

    BaseballLongshots Baseball, based in Down-

    ers Grove, has sent hundreds of players to college programs in 22 years of oper-ation. Based out of Acceleration Sports Performance in Naperville, 29ers Base-ball has a local flair. Top Tier, which bases its high school program at The Max in McCook, and DuPage Training Academy in Carol Stream also draw from across the western suburbs.

    BasketballThe AAU basketball scene has grown

    significantly in relevance in the past 20 years and a number of locally based teams are part of that growth. On the girls side, Lady Lightning is one of the premier programs; it starts with pro-grams beginning in third grade and goes all the way through high school. Lady Lightning had 11 players make col-lege commitments in the Class of 2015.

    As for the boys, Chicago Lockdown, Il-linois Wolves and Mercury Elite all have local players. Lockdown was founded in 2011 by Joe Niego, who is a former NBA player and the father of Lyons Township players Harrison and Connor Niego. Hinsdale Central standout Matt Rafferty also was a standout for the Lockdown. The Illinois Wolves also have a local tie with Mike Mullins founding the orga-nization in 1999. Mullins had two sons, Bryan and Brendan, play at Downers Grove South before going on to play, and now coach, college basketball. Lemonts PJ Pipes played AAU ball with the Illi-nois Stars this summer.

    SoccerRecent changes in the soccer club

    landscape have had a major effect on high school teams. On the boys side, U.S. Soccer moved its Development Academy league, a nationwide collec-tion of elite clubs in the under-18 and under-16 age levels, to a 10-month sea-son starting in 2012. That meant players had to choose between playing for their club or their high school, and a number of top players have gone the club route. On July 18 the Chicago Fires U-18 team won the national championship in the league with local products Djordje Mi-hailovic (Lemont) and Mauricio Pineda (Bolingbrook) on the roster. The team played the bulk of its schedule in the

    Midwest-based Mid-America Division along with other Chicago area teams Sockers FC and Chicago Magic. The playoffs took place all over the country.

    As for girls soccer, the Elite Clubs National League is similar to the boys

    version. The year-round, travel-orient-ed league formed for the 2009-10 season. Local club Eclipse Select won the U-16 ECNL title last year. Unlike on the boys side, the girls can play for both club and high school, although not all do

    both. In the Class of 2015, Aleksandra Mihailovic led Lemont High School to the state semifinals and also played with the Chicago Blast club team.

    SoftballBandits softball, which includes

    the Beverly Bandits team and Lemont player Maddy Vermejan locally, has in-vite-only teams across the country. Illi-nois Chill is more local but plays in tour-naments throughout the country. The Lemont Rockers and Downers Grove Rebels feature several local players.

    TennisHigh school tennis teams typically

    boast some solid talent, but the level of competition at United States Tennis Association events gives athletes an-other outlet to test themselves.

    VolleyballIllinois is a hotbed for volleyball

    (Loyola University won the last two NCAA mens titles, besting Lewis Uni-versity this year), and club programs such as Sports Performance in Auro-ra and 1st Alliance, which practices at The Max in McCook, stoke the fire with nationally competitive teams stocked with talent from the area. Both programs have double-digit Division I players in each graduating class and attract talent from all over the Chicago area.

    Lathan Goumas - [email protected]

    Aleksandra Mihailovic enjoyed plenty of success during a four-year varsity career with Lemont High School, but she also had success with the Chicago Blast club team outside of high school, which helped her earn a scholarship to New Mexico University.
