Concerned residents attend meeting to discuss Walgreens plan updates By Robin Ambrosia Staff Reporter

Submitted Graphic

neighborhood meeting was held Thursday night by the village of Downers Grove regarding recent updates to the Walgreens development plan.Walgreens is proposing to build the retail store at the northwest corner of 63rd Street and Woodward Avenue. Some area residents have opposed the proposed retail plan since it was first presented to village board in January. Downers Grove Village Manager Dave Fieldman was the moderator of the neighborhood meeting. At the onset, Fieldman stated that only the preservation of the trees on the west side of the property site, the fence material modifications from wood to vinyl and traffic

“We can’t stop growth but wouldn’t it be a good idea for the village board to let the proposed Walgreens idea go after almost 1,000 residents signed a petition in opposition?” Kevin Allgaier, resident calming measures for Woodard Ave are the only three issues which would be discussed at the meeting. Over 40 residents came out to voice their See WALGREENS, page 2

WALGREENS Continued from page 1 concerns and ask questions. “We can’t stop growth but wouldn’t it be a good idea for the village board to let the proposed Walgreens idea go after almost 1,000 residents signed a petition in opposition,” said Kevin Allgaier, a resident of Woodward Avenue since 1983. According to Allgaier, Woodward Avenue is a reverse commuter street with heavy traffic northbound in the a.m. and southbound in the p.m. Donald Weiss asked how the plan could go forward if the five properties which are needed have not been purchased. His mother,

Helen Weiss, is the owner of the property at 6298 Woodward. Fieldman said the village would not force anyone to sell their property and that the village cannot annex property involuntarily. He added that any further questions regarding ownership of proposed properties could be asked at the next village board meeting. “I am opposed to the plan because of the negative impact it will have on the neighbors and schools,” said resident Don Kirchenberg. “Your concerns did not go in one ear and out the other or we wouldn’t be here tonight,” said Fieldman “I am trying to be as forthcoming as possible.” Several questions were raised regarding annexation of the designated properties and who

News had jurisdiction. The proposed location is in Lisle Township, and portions of Woodward Avenue are split between Lisle and Downers Grove Townships, according to Doug Kozlowski, Downers Grove communications director. “That’s a good question,” said Fieldman when asked why no representatives from the township or county were at the meeting. “They were notified of tonight’s meeting.” Dee Gordon has hired attorney Mark Daniel to represent the neighborhood residents. According to Gordon, Daniels presented a seven-page letter to the village, developer, and Walgreens outlining the objections, including a multitude of ordinance violations (illegal)

with the proposal. The letter, dated May 31, states that the project is illegal as proposed because the village lacks the power to proceed as it has. Also stated is that those involved should anticipate a return of the matter to the Planning Commission for review once the property is annexed (with no zoning entitlements). According to Daniels, the area neighbors have already expressed that this area is inappropriate for commercial retail use. Furthermore, the area neighbors have presented testimony that the site is simply too small for a Walgreens retail store. Gordon indicated that the area neighbors plan to attend the next Lisle Township monthly meeting to discuss this matter, which will

be held at 7:30 p.m., June 13 at the Lisle Township office, 4711 Indiana Ave. “I recognize no one here wants this plan, but if it gets approved do you want the proposed changes?” Fieldman asked of the attendees toward the end of the meeting. The question was met with negative responses from moans to ‘no’s’ being voiced. According to Kozlowski, most new retail stores open in preexisting retail sites whereas this is an opportunity to build a new retail store from the ground up. Also present from the Village of Downers Grove were Village Planning Manager Jeff O’Brien and Community Development Director Tom Dabareiner. rambrosia@buglenewspapers.com

Westmont Police return fire after woman fires handgun By Robin Ambrosia Staff Reporter

At approximately 1:37 a.m. on Friday, Westmont police were called to a home at 329 Lincoln St. Upon arrival, police realized the dangerous situation when they encountered a 45-year-old woman armed with a handgun. The home was surrounded immediately with armed officers in bulletproof vests. Shots were fired by both the 45-year-old female and responding officers. According to the police report, the woman was wounded during the shootout but her injuries are not disclosed at this time. After the situation was controlled, the wounded woman was transported by ambulance to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove for medical treatment. None of the officers involved in this incident were injured. A handgun was recovered at the scene. “It appears this incident is isolated to this residence and to the 45-year-old female,” said Westmont Police Chief Thomas Mulhearn. “At this time there is no threat to the community nor are we searching for any suspects related to this incident.” Neighbors reported hearing gunshots and seeing police in bulletproof vests surrounding the house. “I knew something was wrong when my husband told me there were police on the street,” said neighbor Cindy Stark. “From our window, we saw cops come running toward the [alleged shooter’s] house with their guns drawn and cops hiding behind the fence. The shooting started with 1-2 shots coming from the house and 5-6 shots from the police.” Neighbors stood outside sharing whatever information they could, concerned with how such an alarming situation could occur in their residential neighborhood.

Nick Vandahm, 19, said he was playing video games when he heard gunshots coming from the house across the street. “My first thought was whether or not I should go outside,” said Vandahm. “When I did go outside, I saw cops everywhere with their big guns drawn.” Living just two doors from where the shooting occurred, Ken Oetjen’s first impulse was to look out a bedroom window. “I saw cops next door pointing their guns at the house and two cops in a truck bed in the alley with their guns drawn.” According to Oetjen, who has lived on Lincoln Street for 19 years, the neighborhood is relatively quiet. “The only excitement on this street is cops pulling over speeders,” said Oetjen. Both Oetjen and Vandahm saw an ambulance arrive at the home soon after the shooting. According to Mulhearn, the

investigation is being conducted by the Illinois State Police and at this time, no charges have been filed. Neither the name nor the medical condition of the woman with the handgun has been released.

District 99 Board, teachers reach contract agreement On June 1, the District 99 Board of Education approved a four-year contract agreement with the Downers Grove Education Association, which is the collective bargaining unit for District 99’s teachers and other non-administrative certified staff. The approval follows the ratification of the contract by the Association on May 30. The agreement will take effect on July 1 following the expiration of the current contract, which has been in place since 2008. “Our teachers and administrators have been working closely and collaboratively together over the past several months, and met our goal to have a renewed contract in place by the start of the next school year,” says District 99 Superintendent Dr. Mark McDonald. The annual costs of the new

agreement are limited to levels within the projected revenue stream for the district over the next four years. “This contract is a win-win for our community and our schools,” says Board of Education President Bill White. “The contract is both fiscally responsible and allows us to remain competitive in attracting qualified teachers, so that we can continue offering the highest quality education to our children.” Downers Grove Education Association President Lois Graham reports that the process and resulting contract were truly

collaborative. “We both worked to meet the needs of teachers in an ever-changing profession and most importantly, to improve the quality of education for the students of District 99,” she said. “Our shared vision is to be creative about our future schedule, such as reducing the number of shortened or altered school days, so that we can spend more quality time supporting students,” added Graham, who is also a social studies teacher at North High. The new contract includes a provision for a joint committee

of teachers and administrators to meet to review the current workday for teachers with a goal of improving instructional support for students. The committee will consider development and implementation of a new work day schedule for teachers and instructional day for students to be implemented at the start of the 2013-14 school year. The new contract also

incorporates requirements related to teacher appraisal and honorable dismissal procedures required by state laws passed earlier this year. The contract between District 99 and the Downers Grove Education Association includes more than 400 certified staff members, including teachers, department heads, deans and psychologists.

Forum Letter to the Editor

Pension reform I would like to clarify for the village of Woodridge taxpayers some statements made in a press release given by the village on May 17 regarding public safety pension reform. In the press release a statement was made, “currently, employees only contribute about one-third while taxpayers pay the remainder.” The monies paid into the fund are for active duty officers only.They are from employee and employer contributions. The taxpayer does not fund the retirees.The retirees are funded from the investment returns built up over the individual officer’s active duty years. Another statement made in the press release was,“In Woodridge, the municipality’s police fund was 78 percent funded in 2000,while it was only funded at 57 percent in 2010.” It needs to be explained that the Woodridge Police Pension Fund is a private pension fund like the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund. Several things came into play during this time. In the latter part of the decade, when the markets took large dips due to the economic recession, everyone’s monies, which were invested in these funds, suffered. Due to the proper investment strategies by your officers’ pension fund financial advisors, our losses were salvageable. It needs to be brought to everyone’s attention that in 1999 the Illinois Municipal League, to which the village belongs,pushed legislation changing the date when

public safety pension funds had to be fully funded and moved the date several decades later to 2030. Local governments,by forcing this change, were able to pay less into the pension funds for first responders in the early 21st century than required to maintain them annually by proper actuarial studies. Now, 12 years later, the amount they have to contribute is getting larger to fund than if it was met correctly in the first place. There was also an increase in new employees and retirees. The IMRF has a mandatory fund amount annually for its municipal members to maintain their fund.This is the fund that civilian municipal employees belong to. This includes administrators, mayors and others making the statements in the press release. Unfortunately public safety pensions are not required to be funded annually. We are also for pension reform. We believe Woodridge residents shouldn’t have to pay for the mistakes in the funding of other pension systems. As a beneficiary of the Woodridge Police Pension Fund and board member, I, and fellow board members, will work with you to maintain a solvent fund so your officers can enjoy a secure retirement after years of serving you. William R. Andrewski, Officer #102 Retired Assistant Secretary, Woodridge Police Pension Fund

MUSTANGS TAKE THIRD

THE BUGLE JUNE 6, 2012

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

The fact that a long and distinguished coaching career had reached the end for Downers Grove South girls soccer coach Barry Jacobson didn’t hit him after the Mustangs secured third place with a 2-1 win over Glenbrook South at Saturday Class 3A state finals. Jacobson, who’s guided the Mustangs to seven state appearances in 29 seasons, said reality set in for him that morning prior to the third-place game with GBS. “Tonight it was more relaxed,” said Jacobson, owner of a 489-144-58 career record. “We talked about that it was our last game, to have fun and enjoy it, and we’ll see how the kids compete. I think it was more this morning, waking up and saying, ‘This is my last time coaching.’ ” The Mustangs sent Jacobson off to retirement a winner by outscoring GBS 4-2 in penalty kicks after the game finished deadlocked 1-1 at the end of regulation. “We’re thrilled,” he said. “We’re very proud to be here representing our school. I’m just really thrilled for the seniors and our staff. They worked hard. I’m so proud of our kids. We battled and battled and battled.” After dropping a tough 2-1 game to St. Charles North in Friday’s semifinals, the Mustangs—well aware that the third-place game would be Jacobson’s last—used social media to rally the troops. “I think that because Coach is retiring—we all knew that—we did want to step it up,” said senior goalkeeper Cassidy Hermann, who stopped seven shots in regulation and helped DGS prevail by turning aside two shots in the PK session. “As soon as we got home, everybody sent each other a text message on Facebook, and said, ‘You know, girls, we are an awesome team. Leave it on the field and bring it tomorrow.’ So as a team we really came together.” “It was a tough loss for us.” added junior See THIRD, page 14

Benet falls in PKs By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

Nerves and some unlucky breaks proved to be the difference in Benet’s 2-1 shootout loss to Wheaton St. Francis last Tuesday in the Class 2A Benedictine University Supersectional. The Redwings got on the board in the first half on a goal by reserve forward Jessica Smetana. However, the second half

belonged to St. Francis and it got on the board with 15 minutes left in the game. All 40 minutes of overtime went scoreless and St. Francis won the shootout 4-3.

a 10-minute period where our play just dropped. We let them do whatever they wanted in that stretch and it was only a matter of time before they put one in. Even in the first half you could tell we weren’t on our game.” Losing out on the balls in the middle of the field was a telling sign that Benet wasn’t on its game. “We lost the (50-50 balls in both halves),” Gros said. “If you look at the stat sheet, we normally do a pretty good job or split. But we didn’t get much.” Still, the Redwings were right in the game and their depth started to show in the overtime, although they were unable to score. “I thought we had a little bit better of the play in the overtimes,” Gros said.“I thought we were wearing them down

a little. We had more pressure in those 40 minutes, but we couldn’t put it in.” The fourth overtime was when the brakes started going against Benet. That’s when it lost leading scorer Catherine Caniglia to what appeared to be cramps. That especially hurt in the shootout. “She would’ve (been in the shootout),” Gros stated. “We’re not the best PK team in the history of mankind. We lost to New Trier in PKs and did pretty much the same. I tried everything under the sun and we work on it a lot. There’s a little bit of luck in it, too. Jessica Smetana’s was pretty well placed and just hit the inside of the post.” After making some key saves during the game, freshman goalie Emma Hlavin did not play goalie in the shootout. Instead, Gros went with sophomore Christina Stopka. “They are pretty even in practice and they both work See FALLS, page 14

THIRD Continued from page 11 defender Brittany Dietz, who tallied the fourth penalty kick. “But we had to make sure we came out with a positive attitude and gave it our all today.” Hermann and the Mustangs (20-6-3) came up big defensively to keep GBS off the board during the first half. She made two good saves on shots by April Cronin with around 26 minutes left in the half. A few minutes earlier, sophomore defender Lori Niehaus helped Hermann out by making a save during a scramble in front of the goal. Titans’ goalie Kelsey Beyers also was equal to the task as she stopped Tess Grannan pointblank at the 21-minute mark. Kaily Bruch broke the scoreless tie with an unassisted goal at 23:57 of the second half, but the Mustangs answered six minutes later when senior midfielder Jessica Bronke headed in a corner kick from classmate Flo Beshiri. “I think this is one of the best things we could have given the team and the coaches,” said senior forward Sarrah Ludwig, who netted a PK goal, as did Beshiri and senior Jessica Pikul. “We did get third so we ended on a high note with a win. “We wanted to do it for all

FALLS Continued from page 13 on them,” Gros said. Christina Stopka tends to make a few more saves. She almost got to the one. They have four perfect PKs and she was almost on top of the one, she just missed it. I was impressed with that.” It is hard for a team to miss out on a trip to state due to penalty kicks, but Gros sees the rules as the best option when it comes to fairness and avoiding excess injury. “I hate PK’s, I always have,” Gros said. “I think they made good adjustments to go with the four 10-minute overtimes. If you can’t get the job done in 40 more minutes, then you deserve to go to PK’s, that’s the way I feel. I think this is just right. I wouldn’t change it. At some point you have to end it.” staylor@buglenewspapers.com

the players, all the seniors, and especially the coaches.” The Mustangs’ senior class will be missed. It includes Ludwig, Bronke, Beshiri, Pikul, Hermann and defender Rachel Ruggiero. Ludwig and Bronke are headed to Division I soccer programs at Valparaiso and Miami of Ohio, respectively. “It doesn’t really feel like it’s over,” Ludwig said, “but I’m just glad we finished it like this. If I go home crying, it’s happy tears. We’re going home with a medal and a trophy.” •The Mustangs, who lost to St. Charles North earlier in the season, struck first in their rematch with the North Stars during Friday night’s state semifinal game. Stephanie Hall, DGS’ junior forward, picked an opportune time to net her first goal of the year. Hall took a cross from sophomore Emily Wauer just 1:33 into the game that put the Mustangs in front, 1-0. But Lauren Koehl’s goal at 31:34 tied it for St.Charles North. Sophie Pohl then scored what proved to be the game-winner in the second half. The North Stars’ 2-1 triumph propelled them into Saturday night’s title game against eventual state champion Naperville North (which beat St. Charles North 1-0 in four overtimes). •When Downers South squared off against Homewood-Flossmoor May 29 at the Benedictine University

Sports supersectional, one thing it didn’t want to experience was a game similar to its nail-biting 3-2 sectional championship victory over Hinsdale Central May 25 that went four overtimes and was finally decided on penalty kicks. So the Mustangs made sure they gave their nerves, and that of their fans, a rest. Downers South scored on the Vikings early and often en route to a dominating performance at both ends of the field. The Mustangs ended up winning, 6-0. Ruggiero got the ball rolling for Downers South with 36:46 left in the first half when she scored on Beshiri’s corner kick. Four minutes later, Beshiri put the Mustangs in front 2-0 after taking a header from Ludwig following a throw-in from Bronke. Dietz, who had entered the game only a few minutes earlier, converted Beshiri’s corner kick into a goal with 26:29 to go in the half. Dietz set up Bronke for a second-half goal that lifted Downers South to its margin of victory. Ludwig netted two goals early in the second half, both on headers. “We just wanted to come out at them,” Jacobson said. “They haven’t seen anybody like us, our speed and our size. We just wanted to come out right from the get-go and it was good.” mike@buglenewspapers.com

Wild Turkey harvest up from last year By Dan Stefanich

Hunters in Illinois took almost 16,000 turkeys this season. The preliminary total of 15,941 is up slightly from last year. Biologists and DNR representatives proclaim great weather as a primary success factor. “Excellent hunting weather made for a strong start to the 2012 season, with a preliminary record of 1,300 wild turkeys harvested during the youth season,” said Paul Brewer, Illinois Department of Natural Resources Wild Turkey Project Manager. “High early season harvest and progression into the later part of the wild turkey breeding season contributed to harvest declines in the later part of the season. We are hopeful that the excellent spring weather this year will help turkeys rebound in some areas where populations have declined somewhat. The long term key in improving wild turkey populations will be habitat management, particularly for nesting and brood rearing habitat.” For a harvest breakdown by county,visit www.danstefoutdoors.

It’s been determined that walleye do not reproduce well on their own in this river system, so the IDNR is giving them some help. It will take about four years before the fish are “keepers”. Hopefully they make it that long.

When Tiger Woods knocked home his chip shot on the 16th hole of The Memorial To u r n a m e n t Sunday, many people insisted that he is back. When he went on to birdie the 18th hole and clinch his 73rd victory, tying tournament host Jack Nicklaus, he was the talk of the sports world. However, I don’t think he is “back.” Being back means that he will once again dominate the sport. I just don’t see that happening. Sure, I see him in contention more often and winning more, but I don’t see him being in the top 10 of every tournament. People thought that he was back after winning the Arnold Palmer, but then he dipped back in a funk and the same thing could happen again. It was a great comeback and a great round by Woods, but when you look deeper into it, you realize that it wasn’t as great as it looked. First off,he hit a rough patch with two bogeys midway through his round.The former Tiger wouldn’t. Second, it wasn’t like the people he was chasing were top notch. Of those who finished in the top seven, Rory Sabbatini (six) and Jonathan Byrd (five) were the only former winners on the PGA Tour. So, while he hit an incredible shot and had a great tournament, lets wait to see what he does in majors before we annoint him as “back.”

Newspapers are alive and well in 2012 While pondering a subject for my fifth monthly article, I’ve noticed favorable reports on auto sales. Having been in that business a few years ago, I considered writing on that industry. With unfavorable employment reports, especially considering my political slant, that subject could have been another angle this month. But when I saw that Warren Buffet, the “Wizard of Omaha,” one of the wealthiest men in the world, of whom every move is followed by Wall Street bought a group of newspapers, I knew. Self-serving as it may be, it’s time for a positive update on the publishing industry. On June 25th, 63 community newspapers under the Virginiabased holding company Media

General, Inc. will become part of World Media Enterprises, one of billionaire i n v e s t o r W a r r e n B u f f e t ’ s businesses. Last fall, he bought his hometown newspaper, the Omaha World-Herald, but it was dismissed as nostalgic.This month’s purchase quadruples his media holdings. Small community newspapers are profitable and thriving, even through these challenging economic times. Another indicator of growth in newspapers is in emerging

markets now considered to be economic powerhouses such as India. The reason for obvious declines in many newspapers and media companies are primarily in classified advertising versus the internet, which is why the daily newspapers have scaled back so dramatically. Most weekly newspapers don’t rely as heavily on time-sensitive classified advertising. Local newspaper display advertising can define your target market better than the internet and other media. Newspaper readers are typically better educated and have higher incomes. Print is tangible and more useful than radio and television, in that

it can be re-reviewed at your audience’s convenience.Similar to the way community banks boast of local lending decisions, community newspapers’ advertising rates are often more negotiable than their large corporate counterparts. Two final thoughts I feel the need to share on this subject is the emergence of free newspapers and clarification of circulation and distribution methods. While paid subscriptions to newspapers are declining, numbers of free newspapers are rising. There is no regulation about pricing on the masthead of a newspaper. Just because it reflects a price doesn’t mean that the majority of its circulation isn’t free. Also, free newspapers are

distributed a variety of ways including, but not limited to racks,also known as“retail drop” or “controlled distribution” and end of driveway, also known as “apron” delivery. Our company, Voyager Media Group has both. Without boring you with the statistics, my opinion, having received the latter method at home for several years is to prefer picking-up the paper at a convenient location when I want it. What are your thoughts?

THE BUGLE JUNE 6, 2012

Burgundy: wine, barging, and beyond My favorite corner of France is Burgundy, a region overflowing with edible, drinkable, scenic, and floatable delights. Its rolling hills and a handful of sleepy villages have given birth to the superior wines and fine cuisine that say “French.” The city of Beaune, snug within its medieval walls, makes a handy base for exploring the region. You’ll feel comfortable right away in this prosperous and popular town, where life centers on the prestigious wines grown in the picturesque vineyards all around. Medieval monks and the powerful dukes of Burgundy laid the groundwork that established this town’s prosperity.The monks cultivated wine, while the dukes cultivated wealth. Beaune’s real charm is the town itself, which is especially vibrant on Saturday, the market day, when colorful stands fill the square. There is one must-see sight in town, the Hospice de Beaune, a medieval hospital. Six hundred years ago, concerned about the destiny of his soul, one of Burgundy’s wealthy sons attempted to buy a ticket to heaven by building this charity hospital. Rich and poor alike came here to die (or occasionally get better). The colorful glazed tiles on its roof established the classic style repeated on ancient buildings all throughout Burgundy. In Beaune, every other shop seems to be selling wine. The production and consumption of the famous Cote d’Or (“Golden Hillside”) wines is big business, and a good “nose” is a life skill worth developing. Your visit to Burgundy can include just about every aspect of the wine trade, right down to traditional barrel making. This time-honored craft is kept alive at cooperages, where crafting barrels is a mix of modern efficiency and traditional techniques. Workmen use steam and bands of iron to bend oak staves into wine-tight casks. The characteristics of the wood contribute to the personality of Burgundy’s wine. Each bit of land in the region has its own “terroir” - a unique combination of geology, soil characteristics, exposure to the sun, and altitude. Aficionados say that the quality of wine can be different from one spot to another just 200 yards away. Visitors are sometimes surprised

by the poorlooking soil. Struggling to survive in the rocky ground, the grapevines manage to produce fruit of wonderful character and aromatic complexity. To the connoisseur,the lovingly tended fields of Burgundy are a kind of pilgrimage site. For those versed in this drinkable art form, roadside signs read like fine-wine lists. Sightseers are welcome to drop in at many wineries, enjoy a little tasting, and pick up a bottle or two. Drivers enjoy motoring on Burgundy’s lovely tree-lined roads, and bikers are happy here, too. Except for the rare farm vehicle, service roads are the domain of two-wheelers pedaling among the scenic villages. An even more peaceful way to see Burgundy is by barge. Like much of France, Burgundy is laced with canals dug in the early industrial age.Two hundred years ago, these canals provided the cheapest way to transport cargo.With the help of locks, you could actually ship your goods clear across France, from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. Today, trucks and trains do the heavy hauling, and the canals are for relaxed barging. In the country famous for super-fast TGV trains, this popular mode of travel has two speeds: slow and stop. Fullservice barges can be hired with a captain and crew who do the navigating, cooking, and guiding. Boats have fine staterooms with all the comforts you’d expect in a good hotel. You’ll invariably be eating and drinking some of the best that Burgundy has to offer: boeuf bourguignon, coq au vin, escargots, and the celebrated local wine. The French, who invented our modern concept of a vacation, are on to something good with barging. Whether on a luxury barge or a captain-it-yourself boat, the basic barging experience is the same: a lazy, intimate glide by pastoral yards and green fields. Barges come with bikes, and the pace is slow enough to allow for excursions. But what could be more enjoyable than sitting back in a deck chair and letting the

Cruising the Burgundy canal is the ultimate in stress-free vacationing.

sights come to you? The Burgundy canal is 145 miles long, with 209 locks. Your barge ride is punctuated by a lock every mile or so. By rising from lock to lock, boats can gently “climb,” step by step, over the rolling terrain. Each lock is a treat. Attendants who live in the historic lock houses are friendly and always ready to help out. Some locks are automated, while others involve a little oldfashioned elbow grease to ease the barge through. In this calm and cultivated region, nature is as sophisticated as the people, and traditions are strong. If you’re looking for quintessential French culture, you’ll find it in Burgundy.

SLEEPING In Beaune, the Hotel des Remparts, built around a calming courtyard, features traditional comfort, with beamed ceilings and big beds (splurge, www.hotelremparts-beaune.com). In the little wine village of St. Romain (15 minutes southwest of Beaune), La Domaine de Corgette is a restored vintner’s home with a stay-awhile terrace and cozy common rooms (moderate,www.domainecorgette. com).

EATING The stone cellars of Caveau des Arches, in Beaune, are an atmospheric choice for sampling

delicious Burgundian specialties at fair prices (10 Boulevard Perpreuil). La Ciboulette, intimate and family run, creatively presents traditional Burgundian flavors in an array of fine dishes (69 Rue Lorraine).

GETTING AROUND Trains link Beaune with Dijon to the north and Lyon to the south; a few make stops in the wine villages. Off-the-beaten-path

Burgundy is best explored by car, bike, or barge. TOURIST INFORMATION:www. beaune-tourism.com. (Rick Steves (www.ricksteves.com) writes European travel guidebooks and hosts travel shows on public television and public radio. Email him at rick@ ricksteves.com and follow his blog on Facebook.)
