Lemont native helps pay tribute to Ernie BanksBy DAN FARNHAM

[email protected]

LEMONT – Those who watched thetelevised memorial for Chicago Cubslegend Ernie Banks last Saturday mayhave seen a bugler playing taps.

What some Lemont residents maynot know is that the man behind thebugle, Staff Sgt. Kyle Rinke of the 85thU.S. Army Reserve Unit, is a 2004 Lem-ont High School graduate.

Rinke, who now lives in Lockportand is a band director at a New Lenoxschool, is one of several buglers as-

signed by the U.S. Military’s MidwestPublic Affairs Office to play at funeralsof former military members.

Banks, who was drafted into theU.S. Army and served in Germanyfrom 1951 to 1953, qualified to have abugler.

“I happened to be the person whosaid that I could do it,” Rinke said.

He said playing at the memorialmeant a lot to him because he grew upa Cubs fans, hearing stories about Er-nie Banks from his father.

Rinke’s father, Tom, said both heand his wife, Diann, had tears in their

eyes watching their son on TV playingat the memorial.

“Seeing Kyle honor one of my child-hood sports heroes was great by itself,but to do it as a member of our militaryis special,” Tom Rinke said.

Kyle Rinke said he played taps atfunerals with media coverage before,but none were the same as playing atthis memorial.

He said the event was a who’s whoof Chicago Cubs and baseball legends.

“[Baseball Hall-of-Famer] HankAaron was a pallbearer,” he said. “You

can’t get much bigger than that.”

R3Endangered school building part of Lemont history

By DAN [email protected]

LEMONT – Members of the Archdio-

cese of Chicago and historical preserva-

tionists in Lemont are debating whether

the original St. Patrick School on Illinois

Street should be saved.

The archdiocese has filed a petition

to demolish the building, which will be

heard by the Lemont Historic Preserva-

tion Commission Thursday.

However, it is not debatable that the

nearly 132-year-old building has a long

history in Lemont.

“St. Patrick’s has always had a spe-

cial place in my heart,” said Lemont

Historical Museum coordinator Sue

Donahue, who attended the school. “It’s

almost like a second home.”

The school, initially called St. James

Academy, was built in 1883 by St. Patrick

Parish’s first pastor, Father James Ho-

gan.

According to the parish, there are

no written records on why the school

was called St. James, although specu-

lation is that it was named in honor of

Hogan.

The building is a 50-by-60-foot,

two-story structure built in an Italian

style from Lemont quarry stone.

In the book “Lemont and It’s People,”

by Sonia Kallick, Kallick said the back

portion of the building contains stones

from the first stone residence built in

Lemont by Joel Wells.

St. James Academy was the first

school in Lemont to offer secondary ed-

ucation, teaching students in grades one

to 12.

According to Kallick’s book, Lemont

public schools did not offer post eighth-

grade education until 1887 and did not

offer a full four-year program until the

early 1900s.

By the 1900s, the academy became

St. Patrick School and taught first grade

through eighth grade.

Lemont Area Historical Society Vice

President Rose Yates, who attended St.

Patrick during the 1950s, said it was a

typical old school, with four classrooms

on the ground floor and two grades per

room, separated by dividers.

As the number of students grew,

classes started moving upstairs, she

said.

“We had the best time, the best teach-

ers,” she said. “I had nothing but fond

memories of it.”

Donahue said, as the name St. Patrick

would suggest, many of the students who

went there were of Irish descent.

“You were identified by your name,

so you went to a certain school because

of your nationality,” she said.

The parish continued to hold classes

in the school until 1962, when the stu-

dents moved to a new building nearby

on Cass Street. Classes were held in that

building until 2003, when St. Alphonsus

and St. Patrick combined their classes

into one building.

Yates said that as much as outgrow-

ing the building, safety concerns were

the reason for moving out of the original

building.

The pastor assigned to the parish in

1959, David Fullmer, was the principal

investigator of the Our Lady of Angels

School fire that killed 92 students and

three nuns in 1958 in Chicago.

Yates said she believes the limited

number of escapes routes from the sec-

ond floor in case of a fire concerned him.

“I think in his mind, [moving the stu-

dents] was more of a safety issue,” she

said.

Even after the students moved out,

the school and parish continued to use

the building.

St. Patrick School held its library and

some physical education classes there.

Donahue said the parish would host

its Show of Shows fundraiser in the

building and allowed rummage sales to

take place there.

Yates said the church choir and

youth ministry also would meet in the

building.

However, she said the archdiocese

closed the building 12 years ago after

an inspection determined the roof of the

building was failing.

The archdiocese said its best option

is to demolish the building because the

repair costs are too great.

Donahue said the parish and the com-

munity should have done more to keep

the building from deteriorating to this

point.

“Sometimes you get so used to seeing

something being there, you kind of take

it for granted,” she said. “I think people

just assumed it would always be there.”

Historic Preservation meeting

The Archdiocese of Chicago is expected to make its case todemolish the former St. Patrick School on Illinois Street duringthe Lemont Historic Preservation Commission meeting at 6:30p.m. Thursday. Because the building is in a historic district, thearchdiocese needs the village’s permission to tear it down.

LEMONT – Monday morning quar-terbacks had a lot of shoveling to doafter a Super Bowl Sunday snowstormdropped more than 1 foot in Lemont.

As of Sunday evening, the villagewas covered in 13 inches of snow, ac-cording to the National Weather Ser-vice, prompting schools in Lemont toclose Monday.

While the snow has made for high-speed fun on local sledding hills, it cre-ated a lot of work for the Lemont Pub-lic Works. Director Ralph Pukula saidplow truck drivers were working 12-hour shifts from last Friday to Monday.

He said the village used 220 tons ofsalt during the 60-hour period.

Lemont Police Chief Marc Matonsaid there were no weekend incidentsto report on the roads, which he saidwere relatively clear compared to oth-er towns he had driven through.

Lemont Emergency ManagementAgency Director Tom Ballard saidthere were a couple of cable lines downSunday on Main Street, but otherwisethe roads were in good shape.

Snow began falling Saturday eve-ning and continued through late Sun-day night. Ricky Castro, a meteorolo-

gist with the National Weather Servicein Chicago, said the snowfall totals forDuPage County have surpassed 1 foot.

“Some of the high amounts we’re

seeing over the two days is 15 to 19inches,” he said.

Winfield had the highest recordedsnow in the county at 19.2 inches.

Castro said the large snowfallis a result of an “unseasonably highamount of moisture” being carriedfrom the tropics of the Pacific Ocean.That, combined with the fact the sys-tem was slow moving and the weatherwas cold enough for snow, resulted inthe large snowfall.

According to the National WeatherService, Chicago O’Hare InternationalAirport had 19.3 inches of snow, whichset the record for the snowiest day inFebruary. That ranks as the fifth-larg-est snow storm in Chicago’s history.

Pukula said Lemont was able tododge most of the snow the rest of theweek.

Sledding on Lemont hills is likelyto continue this weekend as tempera-tures are expected to stay in the 20sand 30s, with a possibility of freezingrain or snow Sunday.

Gov. Rauner unveils broad agendaBy KEVIN P. [email protected]

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner inhis first State of the State address laidout a broad agenda to revitalize Illi-nois’ economy that focuses significant-ly on stripping the power and influenceof labor unions.

Rauner, in his 40-minute speechto state lawmakers Wednesday after-noon, called his proposals “bold” and“aggressive” but “necessary and verydoable” to repair the state’s deep finan-cial troubles and make Illinois morecompetitive with other states.

“The time is now for all of us, Republi-cans and Democrats, to do big things – theright things – for the people of our greatstate,” Rauner said. “Now is the time forbold and decisive action. It is make orbreak time for the Land of Lincoln.”

But while Rauner preached the needfor bipartisan cooperation to stop whathe repeatedly called on the campaigntrail the state’s downward spiral, healmost certainly will find a number ofhis proposals, especially those blunt-ing organized labor, a very hard sellto Democratic lawmakers who holdHouse and Senate supermajorities.

He outlined some of his proposals inhis address and others in an accompa-nying list of priorities he called “TheIllinois Turnaround.” He told lawmak-ers they should consider the plan asa whole rather than a list of separateinitiatives and that while they wouldfind things they don’t like, they willfind a number of things they do.

Among his top priorities for eco-nomic growth are implementing moresignificant workers’ compensation re-form, tort reform, implementing true

competitive bidding for public worksprojects while limiting prevailing wagerequirements and allowing local vot-ers to decide by referendum whether ornot local government employees shouldbe forced to join a union or pay duesas a condition of employment – Raun-er dubbed the localized right-to-workareas “employee empowerment zones.”

“Employee empowerment zoneswill increase jobs for residents, in-crease economic activity for local busi-nesses and generate more tax dollarsfor local governments,” Rauner said.“It’s a win-win-win proposal.”

Rauner also seeks to limit organizedlabor’s influence by extending the ex-isting ban on political contributionsfor businesses with state contracts toall organization with a collective bar-gaining agreement with state govern-ment and organizations funded by en-tities receiving state Medicaid funds.

In exchange for the business re-forms, Rauner said he supports a planto increase the state’s minimum wagefrom $8.25 to $10 an hour but phased inover seven years.

While Rauner did not address thestate’s $111 billion unfunded pension li-ability in his speech– a 2013 reform bill

is awaiting an Illinois Supreme Courtruling regarding its constitutionality– his priorities list included a proposalto move state employees into a new tierof benefits or into 401(k)s while pro-tecting the pension benefits they haveaccumulated to date. Another proposalseeks to give state government employ-ees merit-based raises.

A number of Rauner’s proposals areaimed at the local level, such as low-ering the property tax burden on Illi-nois homeowners. Besides the right-to-work and prevailing wage reforms hesaid will decrease local government’scosts, he wants a two-year freeze onproperty taxes and an increased em-phasis on consolidating local units ofgovernment – Illinois at almost 7,000has far more than any other state.

“Our property taxes are out of con-trol and are crushing middle-class fam-ilies,” Rauner said. “Illinois’ high prop-erty taxes have skyrocketed becausestate and local governments have beenunable or unwilling to control theirown spending. We must empower tax-payers to take control of their propertytax bills by giving them greater ability

Pace seeks funding for $2.3 billion projectSUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Pace is banking on a long shot tofind a shortcut to funding a two-steptransportation plan that would im-prove bus service to the suburbs in asix-county area.

Pace has submitted a $2.3 billionplan to the U.S. Department of Trans-portation for review through theProjects of National and Regional Im-portance program, with the hope itsplan will be picked for funding fromnumerous other plans submitted fromtransportation agencies around thecountry.

The Rapid Transit Network has twocomponents: The Arterial Bus RapidTransit System would add routes andenhanced stations, run on an expressbasis with less frequent stops and therenovation of Pulse stations would pro-vide easier access to buses and havean improved waiting environment, aswell as electrical signage indicatingbus arrival times.

The Suburban Expressway Servicewould essentially expand the serviceinitiated in 2011 on Interstate 55 wherebuses ride on expressway shoulders tothe far west suburbs and back to such

destinations as the University of Illi-nois campus in Chicago and Union Sta-tion.

To support the express service, com-muter lots were built in Bolingbrook,Burr Ridge, Plainfield and Romeoville.

Under Pace’s submitted proposal,Pace spokesman Patrick Wilmot saidthe expressway service would grow toinclude highway and tollways in sixcounties, including Cook, DuPage,Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will.

“A lot of this is aimed at trying to re-duce travel times,” Wilmot said. “Bus-es will be able to travel along these cor-ridors more quickly.”

The $2.3 billion cost for the plan in-cludes purchasing additional buses,the construction of three garage facili-ties, and technology that allows busesto communicate with traffic signals.

Pace has a pilot program with Illi-nois Department of Transportation inChicago’s south suburbs where busescommunicate with traffic signals –much in the same way firetrucks andemergency vehicles can – to allowbuses to pass through traffic signalsif a bus is running late or to clear abus from a busy intersection after

passengers disembark.“But this is a lower level of priori-

ty,” Wilmot said. “Our system sendsa request to the signal. It will onlychange if it doesn’t negatively impactthe traffic flow on the cross street. “

However, submitting the applica-tion does not necessarily mean thefunding is a done deal.

“We realize this is a very ambitiousplan, but this application process isan opportunity to fast track our devel-opment of this network versus usingsmaller grant opportunities and ourown funding,” Wilmot said. “We in-tend to build this network over time.But this program can be an opportu-nity to do it much more quickly.”

Following years of fiscal mismanagement that has led to a crip-pling state budget, rising unemployment and record-high outmi-gration rates, Gov. Bruce Rauner laid out his agenda for Illinois inWednesday’s State of the State address. He wants to “make Illinoisthe most competitive and compassionate state in America.”

Branding his initiativesas The Illinois Turnaround,the governor stressed hiscommitment to passing boldreforms that address revenueshortfalls, taxes, the statedeficit, workers compensa-tion, minimum wage, unemployment and education. It’s excit-ing to have a governor whom wants to work with lawmakerson long-term solutions to the state’s problems.

For years, Republicans have proposed fiscal initiatives thatgained little traction in a Democrat-controlled state government.Now, we have a Republican governor whom outlined a bold planto advance an agenda that mirrors our proposals to grow jobsand stimulate economic growth. His plans to establish minoritysmall business investment startups and job training programs,and to implement competitive tax rates to entice more business-es to Illinois, could provide a much needed boost to Illinois.

Gov. Rauner emphasized reforming state government to makeit more “efficient and compassionate.” I am confident that he willwork with Republicans and Democrats to reverse the years ofcorruption and lack of transparency in the budget process.

As a suburban resident, I know many property owners willshare my interest in his plan to provide property tax relief. Gov.Rauner cited property tax rates as “one of the biggest impedi-ments to growth.” I’m interested to learn how he plans to empow-er taxpayers to take control of their property tax obligations.

Gov. Rauner stressed the importance of giving local gov-ernments the power to decide how to allocate their resources,whether they’re considering collective bargaining issues orgovernment consolidation. This emphasis on local controlcould be a key component of “turning Illinois around.”

Lastly, the governor touched on one of the most importanttopics that affects all of Illinois, and that is education. He empha-sized the need to invest more in technical and vocational train-ing – giving students more opportunities for success, as well asproviding families a choice in where they send their children toschool. For too long, Illinoisans have been without a strong andcapable leader who will make hard decisions. Gov. Rauner hasalready showed signs of strong bipartisan leadership and I lookforward to working with him.

Christine Radogno, R-Lemont, is the Illinois Senate Repub-lican Leader.

The Sean P. Murphy Foundation, a music charity started by the family of the late musician, recentlyrelocated to Lemont.

Not many things connect us together like music does. That’s why

this seems like a fitting way for a new Lemont family to continue

honoring the life of their late son, who was a talented musician

before dying at age 23. The Sean P. Murphy Foundation’s mission

is to build confidence in children by paying for music lessons for

families who cannot afford them. That sounds like music to our

ears.

It appears voters in Lemont won’t have an opportunity to choose

any new Village Board members in April after both challengers

were ruled ineligible because of clerical errors on their election

filing forms. This is not to say that the three incumbents don’t

deserve to keep their seats or that the would-be challengers are

more qualified. Nor are we criticizing the election board, which

appears to be justified in its ruling. Our disappointment rests

solely in the loss of a potentially healthy debate among candidates

vying to shape Lemont’s future.

Don’t use church for speed trapAgain the Lemont Police Departmentis using church property, the St. Pat’sparking lot, to catch speeders in Lemont.In the mid 1990s, the same practice wasbeing done, and the village told the policedepartment not to use church property todo surveillance on State Street. Why is ithappening again? Do police officers haveno idea what church property means tothe community? We’re a community ofchurches, and we shouldn’t have policecars in our parking lots.

Pronunciation tipThis is the first annual reminder that we

are now in the month of Fe-“bru”-ary, notFe-“byu”-ary.

Accomplishmentsdo not trump errorsCOD trustees listed accomplishments

by [Robert] Breuder and claimed thepayout is justified. Consider this: Dr.Taub, director of the Columbia Univer-sity Mesothelioma Center, has beenpassionate in raising money for researchand patient care of those inflicted bythis awful form of cancer. This month,N.Y. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silverwas found guilty of various chargesincluding engaging in a sweetheart dealwith Taub. Dr. Taub referred patientsto Silver’s private law firm and in turn,Silver allotted public money in form ofgrants to the Mesothelioma Center. Isuppose, though, this is where Illinoisand New York diverge. The universityimmediately fired Dr. Taub and Silverresigned. In Illinois, you get a buildingnamed after you and you walk awaywith $762,000. Where is Lisa Madigan?

Signs at college too gaudyCollege of DuPage should not erect a

sign in honor of the much reviled RobertBreuder. COD already has way too manygaudy white building signs that look likeadvertising for fast food joints, not aninstitution of higher learning. But thosewere [Robert] Breuder’s idea, too.

Save historic Edwards houseThe people of Downers Grove need to

advocate for the historic Edwards Houseat 942 Maple Ave. We will soon lose thisbeautiful house to the wrecking ball.Five members of the Village Council willnot listen to the majority of the peoplein Downers Grove that want to savethis house. The opportunity to move thehouse was given but five council mem-bers choose not to listen. They chose tolisten to a citizen [who] gave false facts

about the trees on Maple. April 7 isElection Day. We need to have a councilthat represents the majority. Email thecouncil to voice your opinion, or it’ll betoo late to save this beautiful historichouse.

Change color of squad carsLately, I have become aware of Down-

ers Grove and DuPage County Sheriffcars in black. This color is intimidating.As a taxpayer, I would appreciate it if thisblack color was replaced by a more op-timistic color: like green, orange, white.Anything but black with dark tinted win-dows and excessive lighting. The lightsare definitely way over the line. I amreferring to the lights they turn on whenthey are pulling someone over. There aredangerous criminals out there, but comeon police, most of us are law-abiding.Isn’t a gun intimidating enough?

Intersection needsto be addressedThree weeks ago, Commissioner

David Olsen sat with me in my car atthe corner of Downers Drive and OgdenAvenue for about an hour and a half.He witnessed the extreme hazards thatcars encountered trying to either enterDowners Drive from Ogden or fromDowners Drive on to Ogden. He wasin total agreement about the hazards Ihave been telling the village for morethan 30 years. One takes their livesin their hands at this intersection. Asgracious as Mr. Olsen was to take timeout to witness this horrible intersection,nothing forthcoming has been done, Ihave not heard from him since.

to control local government spending.”

Rauner also echoed previous calls

for constitutional amendments for

term limits and merging the offices of

treasurer and comptroller.

Lawmakers will meet again in two

weeks when Rauner delivers his pro-

posed 2016 budget, which will give a

more complete picture as to how he

plans to pay for initiatives such as in-

creased funding for K-12 education and

at the same time what needs to be cut.

Besides a multibillion-dollar backlog of

unpaid bills, the state faces a $6 billion

budget shortfall for the next fiscal year

beginning July 1. A much-criticized 2011

increase in the state income tax was al-

lowed to expire Jan. 1 as promised.

While Rauner said he wants to keep

income taxes “low and competitive with

other states” and keep the state’s flattax over a progressive one based on in-come, he wants to extend the state salestax to include a number of services. Helikely will find pushback from membersof his own Republican caucus, some ofwhom oppose any attempt to find morerevenue over cutting spending.

Local lawmaker reactRauner’s speech earned high praise

from local Republican legislators andeven received positive words from theother side of the aisle.

Illinois Senate Republican LeaderChristine Radogno, R-Lemont, saidshe’s encouraged by Rauner’s earlysigns of bipartisan leadership.

“It’s exciting to have a governorwho wants to work with lawmakers onlong-term solutions to the state’s prob-lems,” she said.

Radogno is particularly intriguedby the governor’s plan to freeze prop-

erty taxes.

“As a suburban resident, I know

many property owners will share my

interest in his plan to provide property

tax relief,” Radogno said. “Gov. Raun-

er cited property tax rates as ‘one of

the biggest impediments to growth,’ ex-

plaining the average property tax rate

has increased nearly 33 percent over

the past decade.”

State Sen. Michael Connelly,

R-Lisle, believes Illinois is now on a

path to reemerging as the “economic

engine of the Midwest.”

“Clearly Gov. Rauner was elected to

make bold moves and take swift action

to put Illinois back on the path to fiscal

solvency and get our state’s economy

going again,” Connelly said.

Rauner’s commitment to govern-

ment consolidation tapped into a major

talking point for many local officials.

State Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers

Grove, hopes the state can mirror the

success witnessed in DuPage County.

“The DuPage County model has

achieved an estimated $100 million in

taxpayer savings,” Sandack said, “and

I hope to see that effort extended state-

wide so that taxpayers everywhere can

experience tax relief.”

State Rep. Deb Conroy, D-Villa Park,

said she was “especially encouraged”

by the governor’s pledge to consolidate

units of government after she was part of

the bipartisan effort in DuPage County.

Conroy also agreed with Rauner’s

focus on the state’s fiscal crisis. She

said she’s committed to working with

Republicans to pass a “fiscally respon-

sible budget while preserving funding

for education and other vital services.”

“I look forward to hearing the spe-

cifics of Gov. Rauner’s plan and will

continue to work with my colleagues

in the House and Gov. Rauner to find

balanced solutions to our state’s fiscal

problems,” Conroy said.

FLYNN FLIPS FOR FITZ

By SCOTT [email protected]

LEMONT – The lead up to NationalSigning Day on Wednesday was expect-ed to be a relaxed time for Flynn Nagel.

That was until he received a phonecall on Monday afternoon, whichwould soon drastically change his fu-ture plans.

With Northwestern losing a widereceiver recruit to Michigan, a schol-arship suddenly became available atthe last minute and the Wildcats firstpick was the Lemont senior, whom hadpreviously committed to play footballfor Duke University.

So after discussing the situationwith his family and then sleeping on it,Nagel made the decision to switch hiscommitment from Duke to Northwest-

ern and head coach Pat Fitzgerald.Nagel’s older brothers Aaron and

Brett also attended the school.“Obviously it was a tough decision,

the hardest decision of my life,” Nagelsaid. “I was totally sold on Duke, andI was shocked when [Northwestern]did offer. It just got me to thinking, andit is definitely a blessing that a spotopened up. I do think things happenfor a reason, and I definitely think thatthis happened for a reason.”

The reasons for ultimately decidingon Northwestern were aplenty.

“It had a lot to do with the coachingstaff,” the senior said, “and a lot to dowith the opportunity; I can get an op-portunity to hopefully play early on.The academics obviously were a bigthing, my brothers going there was abig piece of it and then the proximity

to home. My friends and family will beable to come to games and I don’t haveto worry about being far away.”

With all that said, having to makethe call to Duke head coach David Cut-cliffe wasn’t easy.

“It was really tough,” Nagel said.“But he was extremely first class aboutit. He wanted the best for my familyand I and this is definitely the best de-cision I can make for my family.”

Having the ability to talk to hisbrothers about Northwestern alsowent a long way.

“As soon as Northwestern did offer,I called both of them,” he said. “It wascool to be able to go to them and askspecific questions, and there weren’tmany bad things they could say. Theyboth loved their experience there andtheir input really helped me.”

Once in Evanston, Nagel will joina talented young core that includes lo-cal players Justin Jackson [GlenbardNorth], Clayton Thorson [WheatonNorth], Matt Harris [Lyons Township]and Parrker Westphal [Bolingbrook].

“They have a couple of kids thatare unbelievable players who are veryyoung,” Nagel said. “Down the road,I think Northwestern can do a lot ofdamage.”
