LEMONT — While the vil-lage’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade is relatively modern, people living in the Lemont area have been commemorating Ireland’s patron saint since the community’s founding.

Donna Pecina is the mar-keting coordinator for the village of Lemont. She is one of the many people who help organize the annual parade, which will be held this Satur-day.

“The parade has been go-ing on for 20-some years. It was initially organized by the people who ran Annie Glea-son’s Christmas Inn,” said Pecina, one of the many peo-ple who helped organize the parade this Saturday. “But this isn’t the first St. Patrick’s Day parade in Lemont. In the mid-1800s, the immigrants who worked on the canal held their own celebrations.”

Those celebrations in Lem-ont and other towns along the Illinois & Michigan Canal spawned a cultural shift that impacted the Chicago area. The Irish people brought with them their customs, their faith and their politics, and life here would never be the same.

They journeyed to the re-gion in search of jobs, and massive public works projects offered them a way to make a living. Many of the Irish im-migrants who came here to work on the I&M Canal in the 1830s had previously worked on the Erie Canal.

The idea for the I&M Canal was to create a waterway con-necting the Great Lakes with the Mississippi River. Canals were the interstate highways of the 19th century, and stops along the way became major points of commerce.

Work on the I&M Canal be-gan in 1836 and was complet-ed in 1848. The hired hands would likely have moved on in pursuit of the next big proj-ect, but one factor all too com-mon in the Land of Lincoln kept them here: The state ran out of money.

With little money to com-pensate workers for their la-bor, officials overseeing the project began paying them in land script in lieu of currency.

This gave many Irish immi-grants property to call their own for the first time in their lives, and they began building communities.

As trade in the Chicago area increased, land specula-tors began planning residen-tial developments along the canal. While the I&M Canal’s value had waned by the 1890s,

the population it brought here

has had a lasting impact.

Among the first institu-

tions the Irish immigrants

created was St. James at Sag

Bridge, one of the oldest and

most historic parishes in the

Roman Catholic Archdiocese

of Chicago. It was founded

in 1833, and the gravestones

in the cemetery provide the

names of many of the region’s

earliest settlers.

“A rough log cabin first

served as the church build-

ing and was located directly

on the original Indian trail,

which later became Archer

Avenue,” according to a histo-

ry of St. James at Sag Bridge

on its website. “It is recorded

in 1833, Fr. Irenaeous St. Cyr,

the priest assigned to the Chi-

cagoland area, traveled to the

Sag area every three to four

months. He came on horse-

back, and his journey took

an entire day. He offered

Mass in the original log cab-

in church of St. James.”

Because of its role in the

development of the area, St.

James at Sag Bridge was list-

ed on the National Register of

Historic Places in 1984. Nan-

cy Thornton, a local newspa-

per reporter at the time, con-

ducted extensive research on

the parish’s background and

prepared the application for

its designation as a historic

landmark.

Many notable structures

in town, like St. Patrick

Roman Catholic Church

as well as St. James at Sag

Bridge, are constructed with

the area’s trademark Lem-

ont limestone. This prime material was used to create other well-known buildings, including Holy Name Cathe-

dral and the Water Tower in downtown Chicago.

Lemonters of Irish ances-

try know the importance of

keeping their heritage alive,

and the annual parade is one

way of passing along their

culture from one generation

to the next. Kylie Abernathy,

an 18-year-old student at West-

ern Michigan University, said

members of her family have attended the parade for years.

Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade a glimpse into the pastDid you know …

• Many of Ireland’s most famous writers were not Roman Catholic. Irish authors who were raised as Protestants included Samuel Beck-ett, George Bernard Shaw, Bram Stoker, Oscar Wilde and William Butler Yeats.

• Corned beef is not a delicacy in Ireland. Its popularity among Irish-Americans began when Irish immigrants in New York City began buying it in Jewish delicatessens. It was the closest meat they could find to replace their beloved black bacon not available in the United States.

• President John F. Kennedy was the first major foreign head of state to visit Ireland after it gained its independence from Great Britain. He toured the Emerald Isle for several days while on a trip to Europe in 1963, which included Kennedy’s famous speech at the Berlin Wall. Kennedy was so im-pressed with the cadets from the Military College in Ireland during a ceremony honoring Irish heroes, arrangements were made to have the cadets perform the same drill at his funeral five months later.

• Ireland’s patron saint, Patrick, was not Irish. A resident of Great Britain, Patrick was kidnapped by Celtic marauders and brought to Ireland against his will. He escaped but later returned as a Catholic missionary. Many scholars believe Patrick was born and raised in Scotland.

S4 St. Patrick’s Church SPRED organization looking for members, volunteers

By JANICE HOPPE [email protected]

LEMONT — A ministry

program through St. Patrick

Roman Catholic Church in

Lemont is reaching out to

meet the spiritual needs of

children with developmental

and intellectual challenges.

Spiritual Religious Educa-

tion Development is a world-

wide religious education pro

gram for children and adults

designed to assist people

with developmental disabil-

ities and learning problems

in getting integrated into the

church through faith educa-

tion, according to the SPRED

website. The program is split

into groups serving those

ages 6 and older.

The St. Patrick SPRED

group holds classes twice a

month for children ages 6 to

10. It is looking for children to

attend the program and vol-

unteers to assist in teaching,

said volunteer Lauren Faxel.

“We need volunteers; we

are always looking for volun-

teers, but we really need kids,”

Faxel said. “We are looking for

friends who have needs and we

haven’t found any yet.”

Volunteer Carol Christo-

fano said the program is de-

signed to help the children or

“friends,” as the children are

referred to by volunteers,

who attend to grow and learn

in their faith.

“It helps them to become

more part of their religious

community, including par-

ticipation in Mass and the

sacrifice,” Christofano said.

“There is a religious theme

every time we meet so they

will understand religion and

experience it more fully.”

Faxel said the themes

taught are simple, such as

seeing the beauty in a flower

or touching a bird’s nest and

learning how its connected

to God.

“This is a really good

place for people whose kids

struggle in regular religious

education classes that are

too ‘school-like’ and not

something they can grow

with,” Faxel said. “SPRED

is a really good way for chil-

dren with special needs and

others to grow in their faith

and experience with God in

simple ways.”

The SPRED program be-

gan in 1960 when the Rev.

James McCarthy from the

Roman Catholic Archdiocese

of Chicago began to work

with parents, special educa-

tors and church volunteers.

The group will meet at 7

p.m. Monday, March 11, at

St. Patrick Church, 200 Illi-

nois St., to hold an informa-

tional meeting for parents,

children and those looking

to volunteer.

S6 Lemont-Homer Glen area to hold Relay For Life kickoff event

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

LEMONT — The Amer-ican Cancer Society Relay

For Life of Lemont-Homer Glen will hold its annual Relay For Life kickoff event at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March

12, at Lemont Park District Centennial Center, 16028 W. 127th St. in Lemont. Friends, neighbors, cancer survivors,

caregivers and anyone inter-ested in learning more about Relay For Life are invited to attend.

The kickoff event offers information about the Amer-ican Cancer Society’s mis-sion of saving lives faster by helping people stay well, helping people get well, find-ing cures and fighting back. Refreshments will be served, and guests will have the op-portunity to win prizes and learn more about the excit-ing activities planned for this year’s Relay For Life.

The annual Relay For Life is an overnight event where teams of local businesses, schools, churches, communi-ty groups and families build awareness and raise funds — prior to and at the event — to fight cancer. While the main objective of Relay For Life is to raise money for cancer research and cancer patients, the event helps spread cancer awareness, celebrate the lives of survi-vors, remember those who lost their lives to cancer and unite a community in the fight against cancer.

This year’s American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Lemont-Homer Glen will be held July 12 at Lem-ont High School Sports Com-plex. Volunteers are need-ed to organize and recruit teams, secure community support, coordinate logis-tics, obtain refreshments and prizes, assist with publicity

and plan entertainment ac-tivities for this event.

For more information on the Relay For Life kickoff celebration, call the Amer-ican Cancer Society at 708-633-7770, ext. 3, or visit Relay-forlife.org/lemontil. Teams may register online anytime.

The American Cancer Society combines an un-yielding passion with near-ly a century of experience to save lives and end cancer for good. As a global grass-roots force of 3 million volunteers, the group fights for every birthday threatened by ev-ery cancer in every commu-nity.

It helps save lives by help-ing people stay well by pre-venting cancer or detecting it early, helping them get well by being there for them during and after a diagnosis, by finding cures through groundbreaking discovery and fighting back through public policy. As the nation’s largest nongovernmental in-vestor in cancer research, contributing more than $3.8 billion, the society turns what it knows about cancer into what it do.

As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year. To learn more about the American Cancer Society or to get help, call 800-227-2345 or visit can-cer.org.

March 11 deadline for Sports Complex objections

Residents opposed to the pro-posed Lemont Sports Complex have until Monday, March 11, to file an objection to it. This proj-ect is on the fast-track, Lemont officials have said.

But any objections filed will be heard within 10 days of the filing by the Cook County Election Board. People may visit Village Hall, 418 Main St., to review the petition for the project and file an objection.

St. Patrick Church to present choral event

St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church, 200 Illinois St. in Lemont, invites members of the

community to “Redeemed!,” a Lenten choral presentation presented by the A Cappella, Youth and Chamber Choirs of St. Patrick under the direction of Neil A. Windt.

The program will feature a variety of traditional, contem-porary and gospel selections. Admission is free, with a free-will offering taken to support the Music Ministry.

Call 630-257-6134 or email [email protected] for more information.

“It makes St. Patrick’s Day a lot more exciting,” said Ab-ernathy, who graduated from Lemont High School last year. “We try and go to the parade every year.”

Abernathy’s family will be sure not to miss the parade this year as she has been se-lected as this year’s St. Pat-rick’s Day Parade queen. She will ride along the parade route in a horse-drawn car-riage.

“I found out that I was se-lected as queen at the begin-ning of the month when my mom called me,” Abernathy said. “It was pretty exciting and very unexpected.”

Pecina said highlights in the parade this year will be

local elected officials, mem-bers of the Lemont Village Board, Scouting groups, an antique firetruck from the Lemont Fire Protection Dis-trict (weather permitting), the Lions Club, the Lemont Historical Society, the South Suburban Chapter of ABATE of Illinois (a group working to preserve the rights of mo-torcyclists) and the Chicago Stockyard Kilty Band.

“It is the first event of spring,” Pecina said when asked what she and other vol-

unteers enjoy about organize the parade. “It lets us look for-ward to good weather. And we hope the weather is nice this weekend. Last year was gor-geous.”

Be it spring conditions or the dead of winter, scores of Irish-Americans will line both Stephen and Main streets on Saturday to celebrate their heritage. In sharing the senti-ments of many who have gone before them, it just wouldn’t feel like St. Patrick’s Day if they didn’t.

Sunshine Week time to check on transparency

To the Editor:March 10-16 is Sunshine

Week, a nationwide effort to call attention to the importance of transparency in government and freedom of information. Created by the American Society of News Editors, Sunshine Week is co-ordinated in partnership with the Reporters Committee for Free-dom of the Press.

However, this isn’t just a press issue. Our right to know what our government is doing is as important as our right to vote.

It is a cornerstone of our democracy. It helps keep public officials honest, makes govern-ment more efficient and pro-vides a check against abuse of power. Our government is only as good as we demand it to be.

The Illinois Open Meetings Act and other sunshine laws require

Argonne research focusing on supercomputers

Debuting last year as the world’s third-fastest comput-er, the new supercomputer at Argonne National Laboratory is a superstar in its own right that also happens to be capable of simulating a trillion stars.

The massive machine, named Mira (from Latin “miraculum,” or “object of wonder”) adds a tremendous amount of computational power to the nation.

Research teams from around the world are prepar-ing to use Mira to tackle the most challenging problems in science and engineering today.

What happens when a star explodes? Can we find alterna-tive fuel sources? How hot will the greenhouse world be?

These problems cannot be addressed any other way because of their sheer size or complexity. Mira will be used to compress time and explore many possible solutions to is-sues related to energy and the environment. It will enable the prototyping and testing of con-struction materials before they are ever physically built and will help search for effective vaccines to deadly infections.

Along with Argonne’s other high-profile user facilities such as the Advanced Photon Source and the new Joint Center for Energy Storage Re-search, the laboratory operates a premier supercomputing center where Mira is housed: the Argonne Leadership Com-puting Facility.

Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery Memorial Squad member Gary Paul of Romeoville walks through part of the cemetery before participating in a funeral service Jan. 24.

Gary Paul, a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5819 in

Lemont, contributes his time once a week to help provide funer-

als with military honors at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery

in Elwood. The veterans cemetery regularly buries homeless

veterans. This is a wonderful gesture to offer a sense of dignity to

those who have served our nation.

The St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be held Saturday, March 9, in

historic downtown Lemont. It’s sure to be the highlight of the St.

Patrick’s season. The parade will line up at 12:30 p.m. at Lemont

Safety Village, 55 Stephen St., and will march south on Stephen

Street and west on Main Street to the VFW Hall. A soda bread

contest will follow in the VFW Hall. Don’t miss the fun!

Lemont Park District seeks community input on survey

By SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA [email protected]

LEMONT — The Lemont Park District is conducting a comprehensive commu-nity needs assessment. As part of this process, the district has invited mem-bers of the public to share their comments and sug-gestions on parks and rec-reation services and facil-ities through two different opportunities: focus group meetings and a commu-nitywide survey.

The focus group meet-ings were conducted earli-

er this year at Centennial Community Center. Area residents gathered to voice their opinions and share their thoughts about the future of the Lemont Park District during two meet-ings that were facilitated by the district’s research partner, the University of St. Francis Solutions R e s o u r c e C e n t e r . T h e groups provided insight on strengths, challenges and opportunities for the fu-ture and shared input into the community survey that is now being administered.

The district is seeking

input through the commu-nitywide survey. This ad-ditional opportunity gives community members a chance to share their in-put and feedback about the park district by answering a short series of questions.

All residents are en-couraged to respond to the survey by Friday, March 15. The survey may be com-pleted online via the link at www.lemontparkdistrict.org or at www.stfrancis.edu/solutions.

Copies of the survey are also available at the Lemont Park District CORE Fitness

& Aquatic Complex and Centennial service desks, or residents may obtain a copy by calling 815-740-3600. In addition, a random sample of residents received a copy of the survey in the mail. About 4,000 households were chosen at random by our research partner.

All the information from the focus groups and the data from the public survey will be made available in a full report by the Lemont Park District’s educational partner, the University of St. Francis, upon comple-tion of the project.

Virtually any process or problem can be advanced with high-performance computing, and the ALCF provides hundreds of mil-lions of computing hours each year to research projects from industry, academia and

national laboratories.To give you an idea of Mi-

ra’s computational power, the system has more than 786,000 processors and is capable of carrying out 10 quadrillion calculations per second. Sim-ulation that used to take two months now takes two days.

I’d like to invite you to learn more about Argonne’s

computing program on March 14 when Argonne’s Pete Beck-man, co-director of the North-western-Argonne Institute for Science and Engineering, will present a talk as part of Ar-gonne’s public lecture series, Argonne OutLoud.

Beckman will talk about how math and supercomput-ers are accelerating scien-

tific discovery and helping us predict the future. From discovering the secret inner workings of the universe to developing cars that can drive themselves, Beckman will share the technology and science fueling a new breed of supercomputers that will con-tinue to improve our world.

LEMONT — Even with a final record of 23-4, not reach-ing its lofty expectations of a conference title and deep playoff run put a damper on Lemont’s 2012-13 boys bas-ketball season.

But that wasn’t the worst part; the biggest disappoint-ment came in not having a full deck to play with when it mattered most.

When Joey Hehir broke his hand in the team’s final non-conference game against Glenbard South Feb. 19, the Indians not only lost a double-digit scorer but also the team’s most athletic player and emotional leader.

His presence on the court was truly missed in the team’s 70-60 loss to Hillcrest which denied Lemont a share of the South Suburban Blue title and the 71-63 de-

feat at the hands of Bolingbrook in the opening round of the Class 4A playoffs.

“Our goals were interrupted by bad luck,” said Lemont coach Rick Runaas. “We battled bad breaks all year. At the end, it was a combination of two good teams we played and being a little short-handed which caused our down-fall.

“Looking back, you are not so upset you lost, you are upset because you feel like you didn’t have a fair chance. It’s one of those things we’d like to give it

a shot with Joey in there and see what we would have done.”

The regional semifinal loss marked the last game in an Indians’ uniform for a strong senior class, including the team’s leading scorer Juozas Balciunas as well as Hehir, Martynas Einikis, Jack Shereck, Ed Masiulionis and Erick Rydberg.

“I’ve got to go back and do some research,” the coach said. “The last two years, these guys have won 23 and 25 games. To win 48 games over two years of varsity basket-ball, I don’t know for sure but it might be the best two-year run in Lemont history.

“They have a good combination of talent to begin with — you don’t want to forget that they are good basketball players. But it’s also the coachability and the likeability of the kids. They are tough and stubborn but when the time is right, they know when to listen. They are just good guys.”

Lemont will return second-leading scorer Mike Wisz to the fold next winter, along with center Jake Terrazas, but will have a lot of minutes and production to replace.

“We will be a lot smaller as a team next year,” Runaas said, “and that doesn’t bode well because we were not particularly big this year. We might have to open up the floor and find different ways to get Wisz shots.

“A ton of minutes need to be picked up by the return-ing varsity guys and our sophomores coming up. That’s the challenge. It’s the responsibility of the players to go and become better players and it’s the responsibility of the coaching staff to go and prepare. Hopefully both meet that challenge.”

20 GIRLS SOCCER PREVIEW | 2013

Jerantowski leads solid Lemont coreBy SCOTT SCHMID

[email protected]

LEMONT — Coming off a third-place state finish in 2011, Lemont entered last spring with lofty expec-tations.

In the end, not all of those goals were met, but the Indians still managed to win 15 games to finish with

a winning record for the 12th straight year.

The 2013 squad might be a younger version, but there isn’t any reason to expect much of a dropoff.

“We will be quite young in some ar-eas,” said Lemont coach Rick Prangen, “and any time you have young players playing for you in key roles, there is al-ways a learning curve. We will have to

be a bit patient. Our goals are to have things pretty well established and solid-ified midway through the season and the last half is about perfecting those things.”

Lemont does return a strong core of players, headlined by junior mid-fielder Kim Jerantowski, an all-conference and all-sec-tional performer a year ago after scoring 23 goals.

“Kim in my opinion is one of the better players in

the area,” the coach said. “She is a very talented kid. The last two years, she has been an underclassman playing up. Now she is an upperclassman and we rely on her a lot to be really special for us.”

Fellow all-sectional pick Kelly Fritz is back in net for the Indians after the junior posted 14 shutouts last spring.

“In our area, again if she isn’t the best goalie, she is in the top two,” Prangen said. “In that regard, that position is very comfortable for us and now we have to fill in the gaps around her.”

Junior Wendy Mazur, another three-year varsity player, also returns after scoring 10 goals in 2012.

“Last year’s team was trying to handle the pres-sure of returning to the state finals again,” Prangen said, “and that was challenging for us. This year we don’t have those expectations on us and that can be liberating.

“Last year, we had defined expectations, this year is about finding out who we are.”

Lemont has won the South Suburban Blue con-ference title in each of the years it has been in the league and will look to continue that dominance this spring. The Indians will also be tested by a challeng-ing non-conference schedule which includes match-ups against Downers Grove South, Downers Grove North and Sandburg and a strong field at the Lemont Cup in early May.

“Since we’ve won it (conference) every year, every team is really motivated to play us,” Prangen said. “When a team has won it multiple times, you are the bad guy. The challenge for us when it comes to the con-ference games is don’t be complacent. Just because we won it last year doesn’t mean we will win it this year.”

can help ensure yourcar-buying experienceis a great adventure:1. Unless you’re pay-

ing cash, you’ll be fi-nancing your vehiclepurchase. You need toknow what’s on yourcredit report and howstrong your credit scoreis before you apply forfinancing.2. It’s important to

the dealer puts on thecar and then there’s theprice you should pay.Most automotive ex-perts agree, you shouldstart your negotiationsbased on the invoiceprice, which is what thedealer paid for the vehi-cle, and pay only a fewpercentage points overthat.

CAR Q&A

Brakes frozenQ: I own a 1997 V-6

Camry. My problem is,when the temperaturegoes below 30 degrees,the brake pedal is hardto push down until theengine runs 30 to 45minutes.A:There is no ques-

tion that water is col-lecting and freezing up.The most commonproblem I have found isa leaking power brakebooster.

— Junior Damato,GHNS

Q:What exactly are thepillars that so many car ar-ticles mention, such as inA-pillar, B-pillar and soon. I know this is probablyan elementary question,but to a retired older gallike myself, I always won-der. Amy L., Illinois.A:No problem, as every

question is a good one.The pillars mentioned inthese articles refer to thepieces of steel that attach aroof to the car. The A-pil-lar is the windshield of thecar’s support system. It isthe only pillar that is amust on every car builtthat has a windshield.The B-pillar is the piece

of metal that separates themiddle of that car’s frontand rear doors and acts assupport behind the firstset of side windows. Afour-door sedan or a coupewill have a B-pillar. Now, ifyou buy a hardtop, there isno B-pillar.C-pillars are the back of

the fixed top’s attachmentto the body on sedans andcoupes. If you have a hard-top where when the win-dows are all down, there isno pillar, the C-pillar isstill called a C-pillar.A final D-pillar is com-

mon in station wagonsand SUV/crossovers, andfollow the C-pillars to therear as the final structuralsupport from the roof tothe body. The photo at-tached easily explains allthe pillars.

Chevy 348 engineQ:Was Chevy’s 348 en-

gine its first really highperformance engine in bigblock form? I know it grew

into a 427 later. Thanks,Ron P., Pennsylvania.A: Yes, Chevy’s 348 en-

gine came to life in 1958 asa big-block powerplant forheavy duty trucks andChevrolet automobiles,too. Called the “W-head”

Turbo-Thrust 348, it camewith everything from atwo barrel carb to fourbarrel to three-twos.This engine then grew

into the famous “she’s realfine my 409” high per-formance engine that toreup the drag strips from1961 to 1963. The 409was available through1965, when it was re-placed by the all-new 396Mark IV “mystery motor”design that debuted at theDaytona 500 in 1963 as a427.As for a “W-head” 427,

you are correct that one

was produced, that beingthe 427 “W-head” built fordrag racers only in 1963. Itcame with a special two-piece aluminummanifoldand put out a conservative430 horsepower under theoption code Z11. Anyonecould have walked into aChevy dealer in 1963 andbought one, but few knewof the Z11 code other thanthe drag teams.From 1965 on, however,

the new big block “mysterymotor” replaced the “W-heads,” and came in sizes366, 396, 402, 427 and454 through the early

1970s. The 366 was atruck engine, while theothers powered the fa-mous Chevelles, Novas,Corvettes and full-size Im-palas.You can still buy a big

block “mystery style” cratemotor from Chevy all theway up to 572 inches.
