Radio station moves to Wheaton, promises DuPage coverage

By NATHAN LURZ

Co-hosts of WCKG’s “Wealth Essentials Radio” program Randy Barcela (left) and Terry Heafey speak during a taping of their show at the station’s new Wheaton studio.

To learn more

nlurz@shawmedia.com When listening to radio news in the suburbs, the lead stories often revolve around the city of Chicago.

However, a station that just moved to Wheaton is hoping to change the conversation to DuPage County.

AM 1530 WCKG recently opened a studio near downtown Wheaton as part of its effort to cover local communities.

“I’ve lived and worked out here my whole life,” said station general manager Matt Dubiel. “And on the news at 10, it’s

all about what Rahm Emanuel did, even though Rahm Emanuel doesn’t have anything to do with us.”

Known for its syndicated “Mancow’s Morning Madness” and “Dan Patrick” shows, Dubiel said he plans to gradually fill the airwaves with county-specific news.

The effort will start in January with the station’s “Best of

the ‘Burbs” program, in which WCKG’s regular shows will be interspersed with vignettes about local businesses, community-specific news and inter-

views with area personalities.

“We just want to talk to people in the community. Every person that runs a business or a church or a club can come talk about it and don’t have to pay,” he said. “That’s the point of a radio station.”

From there, Dubiel said, the station hopes to expand to offer shows featuring county and community news, starting on the weekends and during the lunch hour.

WCKG’s move to Wheaton, the county seat, reflects the station’s desire to entrench itself in the area, he said.

Financial planner Terry Heafey, of Palos Heights, cohosts one of the station’s two existing local shows, “Wealth Essentials Radio.” He and fellow host Randy Barcella, a real estate appraiser, answer financial questions from DuPage County residents. Heafey said a rapport with local listeners is key, especially in the world of personal finance.

“On the radio, we can pull back the curtain a little bit,” he said. “It’s an avenue where we are allowed to cut through the noise and provide clarity on an individualized basis.”

Dubiel said the station would slowly but surely embrace community radio.

“If there’s a local baker who has really good cookies in Wheaton, she can come on and talk about that,” he said.

“There’s Omega Restaurant in Downers Grove that’s been there since I was 3 and is a heritage restaurant in Downers Grove. Every town has something like that, but we only hear news from the city.”

Forno Palese Baking Co. Manager Daniella Cirafici assists regular customers Jan Savitz (left) of Skokie and Tylee Guzman of Northlake on Tuesday. The Wood Dale bakery serves handmade sandwiches, salads and fresh-baked desserts.

Let the baking begin Lerario brothers, Forno Palese bakery help bring Old World Italy to Wood Dale

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com WOOD DALE – Forno Palese Baking Co. has been open for only about three weeks, but their generations-old bread recipes, homemade cannolis and the occasional chorus of “O Sole Mio” that breaks out could bring any customer into Old World Italy.

“It feels like home,” said Bakery Manager Daniella Cirafici.

While she isn’t related to the three Lerario brothers who opened the bakery, she calls them her family.

“It’s the same thing with our customers,” Cirafici said.

Joe Lerario said he’s beginning to recognize regular customers who come in twice, sometimes three times a week. The brothers have even named one of their sandwiches after a regular: the Gino Gambino features roast beef, provolone cheese, romaine lettuce, tomato and Forno Palese’s house or FP dressing.

Like all of their sandwiches, it can be served on fresh-made panini, focaccia, baston or a roll of Italian bread.

Marcello Lerario said he and his brothers wanted to give customers “the tradi-

tional Italian experience.”

The bakery’s head baker, Eddie Laera, has been baking bread for decades just the way his father taught him.

When he came to the Lerarios looking for a job at their construction business, Fortis Concrete, his childhood friends remembered Laera’s former bakery.

“I told him it would better serve the community by us opening up the bakery again,” Joe Lerario said.

Experienced entrepreneurs, the Lerario brothers combined their business savvy with their Italian heritage. They began making sandwiches like they’ve always done and creating the signature FP dressing.

They researched the numerous Italian delis in the Chicago area.

“They’re very Chicago Italian,” Marcello Lerario said.

While the brothers and Laera grew up in Wood Dale, not Bari, Italy, like many of their relatives, they still wanted to offer authentic Italian food and hospitality.

Although their breads are available at grocery stores including Valli, Butura, Eurofresh, Tony’s Finer Foods, Joe Caputo’s and Angelo Caputo’s Fresh Market, Joe Lerario knows customers who travel passed those stores to visit the bakery because they enjoy the atmosphere.

Joe Lerario admits working with his brother every day isn’t always easy, but their new venture with the bakery represents a passion they’ve all shared for a long time.

“Food resolves all problems,” he said.

No matter what arguments they may have at work, he explained the Lerarios can eat dinner together and put it behind them.

“We sit down,” Joe Lerario said. “We eat and all is good.”

Marcello Lerario breaks out in song while he builds a Richie sandwich with mortadella, capicolla, mild sopra, provolone cheese, romaine lettuce, tomato and FP dressing, while his brother and Cirafici laugh like siblings. It’s all part of what makes Forno Bakery so inviting.

“We’re not working, we’re just passing time,” Joe Lerario said.

Lombard family seeks cure for daughter

By MATTHEW PIECHALAK mpiechalak@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – Proudly carrying her “Doc McStuffins” doctor’s kit, 4-year-old Tessa Pate walks to the stairs, slowly drops into a seated position and scoots down the top step, all the while smiling in her mother’s direction.

“Mommy, can I give you a check-up?” she asked excitedly.

Playing doctor with her toy kit, inspired by the animated children’s television show, is Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com one of Tessa’s favorite things Tessa Pate (right), 4, and sisters Sophia (left), 6, and Julia, 8, play with their Rainbow Looms on Tuesday to do, said her father, Jay Pate. at their Lombard home. Earlier this year, Tessa was diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-tooth disease, a nerve “She’s a ham,” he said. disorder affecting peripheral nerves.

“She wants to give me a checkup the second I walk in the door each night to make sure I’m OK.” For all the attention she pays to her parents’ health, it’s Tessa’s well-being who the Pates are focused on.

Earlier this year, Tessa was diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-tooth (CMT) disease, a common inherited nerve disorder that affects an estimated one in 2,500 people in the United States and roughly 2.6

million people worldwide, according to the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation. The disease causes problems with the sensory and motor nerves – the nerves that run from the arms and legs to the spinal cord and brain.

Of the 30 or so types of CMT, Tessa was diagnosed with Type 2A, and pending the discovery of a treatment, will likely be confined to a wheelchair by age 8 or 9, her parents said. The Pates began to notice something wasn’t right with Tessa at age 2, when her gait was slightly off. Eventually, a gene test conducted at the University of Chicago would confirm the peripheral nerve damage.

“We searched for two years for a diagnosis,” Heather Pate said. “This is really bad – just the whole idea that something that she has could be taken away from her.”

CMT is a hereditary disease almost as common as multiple sclerosis and affects up to 10 percent of the population by age 60 or 70, explained Dr. Michael Shy, professor of neurology at the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics. CMT is one of Shy’s specialties.

CMT Type 2A is generally more severe and usually presents itself early in childhood, Shy said. Aggressive research is geared to discovering treatments for CMT, including Type 2A, Shy said. While physical and occupational therapy is the only current treatment, he points out that before 1990 there was no known cause of CMT, and to date 70 genes have been identified.

“The whole field is fairly new,” he said.

The DuPage County Board on Tuesday approved the rezoning of the Ken Loch Golf Links property near Lombard, allowing a developer to move forward with a planned multi-family home development project.

The County Board voted 15-2 to approve rezoning the 31-acre golf course at 1 S. 601 Finley Road, to allow for the construction of multi-family units. District 2 board members Peter DiCianni and Sean Noonan voted against the rezoning request.

DuPage District 2 includes the Village of Lombard.

“The concern I have as a member of this board and as a representative of this district is what if this upscale district doesn’t turn out to be upscale?” DiCianni said prior to the vote. “What if they have challenges with rentals?”

Fellow District 2 board member Elizabeth Chaplin, who voted to approve the rezoning, thanked concerned Lombard residents she spoke with, but added that the owner has a right to sell their property and that the development should be a good fit for the area.

“This property is going to be developed,” Chaplin said.

“I would rather see multi-family homes go in there than something worse.”

Real estate developer Donven Homes has been seeking approval to rezone the property, located just south of Four Season Park in Lombard. Ken Loch is owned by Kensinger Realty.

“We find this very favorable news,” Donven President Donald Stevens said following the vote.

The Lombard Village Board of Trustees has continually objected to the rezoning, citing that building townhomes on the for-sale golf course is not consistent with the village’s comprehensive plan, as well as past comprehensive plans of DuPage County.

Village officials have stated their desire to keep the land as open space.

“Lombard does not want this development. Lombard

does not need this development,” Lombard President Keith Giagnorio told the County Board during public comments Tuesday.

“We come to you as Lombardians, but also as DuPage County voters,” he said. “I implore you, listen to your constituents and do not approve this development.”

Despite claims from local officials that the Village of Lombard, the Lombard Park District and the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County all have interest in purchasing the land, none of the parties have made formal plans with the owner, said Michael Roth, an attorney representing Donven and Kensinger.

“The owners cannot continue to run it as a golf course – it’s not profitable,” Roth said during public comments.

“There have been no offers to buy the property for the preservation of open space.”

Adding an amendment to the rezoning ordinance, the County Board unanimously approved a measure that requires any change in ownership structure on the property to be reported to the County within 30 days.

Moving forward, Lombard trustees can opt to forcibly annex the property into the village, county officials confirmed during the meeting. However, it’s a maneuver the board does not plan to make, Giagnorio confirmed Wednesday.

“There’s a misconception that if we stepped in today and force-annexed the property, that all of the sudden the magic wand is waved and we have complete say-so,” Giagnorio said. “In the real world, what it would do is drag us into a lawsuit with the developer.”

The village plans to monitor the development plan closely as it progresses, and is willing to work with the developer, Giagnorio said.

“I would say that we’re not just slamming the door on them,” Giagnorio said. Obviously, they’re our neighbors and we have to look at them as we would Glen Ellyn, Downers Grove, Villa Park. We’re going to take it from there and have a wait-and-see attitude.”

COMMUNITY VOICE / ADAM CIBULKA & DAN KRAUSE

Giving back is part of District 88 culture We strive to develop a sense of community spirit in our students, and as we head into the holiday season, we want to take a moment to share a few examples of how our students and staff help better the communities in which we live. The District 88 Board of Education, along with superintendent Dr. Scott Helton and the entire District 88 family, is proud of these efforts, and we look forward to continuing to support them.

Blazers give back: In October, Addison Trail students and staff were dedicated to raising money for breast cancer research through our Go Pink or Go Home fundraiser. During November, it was Movember at Addison Trail, as 57 staff members and administrators grew mustaches or supported those growing mustaches to raise money in support of men’s health awareness. Last month, we hosted our annual blood drive, and the Addison Trail Lettermen Club hosted a Run-a-Thon to raise money for student scholarships and to help members of the community in need.

Last, but certainly not least, Addison Trail gives back to its community through its service clubs during the year. From participating in the Kiwanis Peanut Days, to hosting our annual Senior Citizen Thanksgiving Luncheon, to our INTERACT Club helping at our local homeless shelter, giving back to Addison is a cornerstone of Blazer Pride.

Warriors give back: During the holiday season, the Willowbrook Key Club coordinates an annual food drive to support local food pantries, and the Warrior Project supports local families and children by providing gifts for those who might otherwise not receive them. Our students regularly volunteer at food pantries, shelters and the Feed My Starving Children organization. And the Willowbrook Parent Organization (WPO) coordinates an annual apparel drive, which collects new or slightly used winter hats, gloves and coats for local shelters.

Willowbrook also is dedicated to the fight against cancer and hosts the annual Relay For Life of District 88 All Youth, which has raised more than $160,000 for the American Cancer Society during the past three years. The Warriors For A Cure campaign, which raises funds throughout the month of October for breast cancer research. Our Warriors give back in an effort to support local, national and even international projects. One example is our Senior Class Service Project.

This year, the class of 2014 has committed to completing 10,000 hours of community service. Last year, the class of 2013 raised $22,000 and packed 108,000 meals to help feed malnourished children in Guatemala.

Adam Cibulka is the Addison Trail High School principal; Dan Krause is the Willowbrook High School principal.

Mirza was arrested Nov. 15 and freed on bond, according to Dawn Domrose, spokeswoman for the DuPage County Sheriff’s Police.

The investigation was a joint effort between the attorney general and the Illinois Department of Revenue

(IDOR).

“The defendants have illegally profited at the expense of the state and Illinois taxpayers,” Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan said in a release.

IDOR Director Brian Hamer added that he is pleased to see the courts

impose increasingly tough sanctions on individuals who file false tax returns.

According to the release, the cases are the latest crackdown in a joint investigation that, to date, has recovered roughly $85 million owed to Illinois from gas station operators who evade sales tax payments.

Man charged after destructive chase in downtown Elmhurst

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – Elmhurst police have identified a man who struck several cars on York Street in downtown Elmhurst and assaulted an officer while fleeing from the scene of a domestic battery Tuesday, according to an email from Police Chief Michael Ruth.

Anthony Joyner, 33, of the 200 block of Old Mill Court, Atlanta, Ga., is being held on $40,000 bond at DuPage County Jail.

The incident began when police received a call from a woman who said she had been stabbed by a man, later determined to be her boyfriend, Joyner, at 3:50 p.m.

The woman told the 911 dispatcher he was trying to kill her and she locked herself in the bathroom of her hotel room at Springfield Suites in the 400 block of Lake Street, Ruth said.

While responding to the scene, police witnessed J o y n e r ’ s v e - Anthony h i c l e t r a v e l - Joyner ing south on York Street approaching North Avenue at a high speed.

Police officers assigned to the central downtown district converged into the area and saw the suspect driving in the middle of York Street traffic which was stopped in

both directions, Ruth said.

The fleeing vehicle struck eight cars. The driver of one of the damaged vehicles was taken to Elmhurst Memorial Hospital by paramedics.

Ruth did not have information on the injured driver’s condition.

After Joyner struck an unmarked police car near York and Third streets, he fled on foot, leaving his car in gear. An officer stopped the driverless vehicle before it caused more damage or injury and another officer pursued Joyner on foot across the Elmhurst City Hall parking lot, Ruth said.

While trying to climb a wooden fence in the east alley of York Street, Joyner broke a board off of the

fence.

“He turns around, and he assaults the officer,” Ruth said.

The officer was not injured, but Joyner held the 3 ½ foot board with exposed nails and threatened to strike the officer following him before he was finally taken into custody.

Ongoing investigation has revealed the woman had been struck in the face by Joyner, but not stabbed as she told the police dispatcher, Ruth said. She also was found to be in possession of numerous fictitious identification and credit cards under several names.

She was charged with two counts of misdemeanor attempted possession of a fictitious driver’s li-

cense and released on an individual recognizance bond.

Joyner also had several fictitious state identification cards with different names and the vehicle he was driving was rented from Savannah, Ga., under another name.

Police needed to take his fingerprints to identify him.

Joyner was charged with two counts of felony unlawful possession of a fraudulent driver’s license, leaving the scene of an accident and not having a valid driver’s license as well as misdemeanors for aggravated assault against a police officer, domestic battery, fleeing and eluding police and attempting to obstruct justice.

Mad about Mandela Good riddance, Mandela. The media played him up like some kind of international messiah.

Fact is, he was sent to prison for criminal charges of possession of a case of hand grenades. Let’s not forget Winnie Mandela, whose organization would murder blacks if they so much as said “good afternoon” to a police officer on the street. Fact – they would get hold of them, call them informants, put rubber tires around them, fill them with gas and set them on fire. I didn’t expect the liberal media to print the truth about that. These things were documented, and many times filmed. Dig a little deeper, media.

Against the sports complex Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves continues to press forward trying to build a sports complex in Lemont. He tried to get it through previously without any input from the residents. He only gave us a 30-day notice, but we exercised our right and had enough signatures on a petition to force it to go to referendum. As it stands today, he’s been trying to secure private financing for the sports complex and is unable to do so because the investors do not want to invest in polluted land that the Village of Lemont does not own; the land is owned by the water reclamation district. So, if the private investors have no desire to invest in a $20 million sports complex, what gives him the right to burden the taxpayers with a $20 million bond so if this thing fails it’s up to the taxpayers to bail it out? Bottom line, if he cannot secure private investors for this $20 million sports complex, why does he continue pressing on and still wants it to bring it to referendum? The private investors don’t want it, and we don’t want it either.

IC grad returns to support tornado victims

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – Santa is coming to town this weekend, but he won’t be listening to children’s Christmas lists.

He’ll be rocking out with the mission to raise money for the Washington Tornado Relief Fund.

“It’ll be fun to come home,” said Dr. Thom McGorey, an IC Catholic Prep alumnus.

Before pursuing medical school, McGorey taught Chemistry at Washington Community High School in Washington, Ill., for four years.

“That was my first job out of college,” he said.

From 1986 to 1990, McGorey also coached track and field at the high school.

Although he now works as

Dr. Thom McGorey, an IC Catholic Prep alumnus and former Washington Community High School teacher, will perform A Classic Rock Christmas twice Sunday in Elmhurst to raise money for the Washington Tornado Relief Fund.

If you go What: “A Classic Rock Christmas” When/where: Both shows are Sunday; 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Nu Crepes, 115 W. Schiller Court, Elmhurst; and 4 to 7 p.m. at Fitz’s Spare Keys, 119 N. York Road, Elmhurst Cost: Shows are free, but donations will be accepted for Washington Tornado Relief Fund a hospitalist physician with the University of Wisconsin Department of Medicine and the Director of Hospital Medicine at UW Health Partners Watertown Regional Medical Center in Watertown, Wis., McGorey felt compelled to do something for Washington when he heard about the Nov. 17 tornado.

You can still protect much, and maybe all, of their assets for the family.

He was playing a Christmas show for a local charity a week after the tornado when he decided to go on a 25-show tour in 25 days to raise money for Washington relief.

“This music only has a four-week shelf life,” he said of the eclectic Christmas songs he’d put together for the show.

His show, “A Classic Rock Christmas,” features Elvis Presley, John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen versions of popular holiday songs as well as John Denver, Amy Grant and more traditional winter favorites.

Dressed in a Santa suit, McGorey’s authentic white beard and acoustic guitar set the scene for a three-hour show with a song for everyone.

The Rock ’n’ Roll Santa has been playing guitar since college, but didn’t start playing for an audience until earlier this year.

“I’ve always wanted to play in a band,” he said.

After playing regular charity shows in Watertown, he first thought about dedicating his next show to the Washington Tornado Relief Fund. But

he decided he wanted to do more.

“A thousand homes are destroyed,” McGorey said. “A couple hundred bucks isn’t going to be enough.”

He then tried to get a group of musicians together to play a larger show, but the holiday season proved too difficult to coordinate schedules.

Instead, McGorey launched his solo tour Nov. 29, booking shows as far north as De Pere, Wis., and as far south as Normal, Ill. While his first handful of shows yielded him a little more than $2,000, McGorey set a goal to earn $10,000 by his final show Dec. 22. He hopes his 16th and 17th shows in his hometown of Elmhurst will help significantly.

He’s chosen towns like Elmhurst where he grew up and Normal where he attended Illinois State University because he has a connection to them. He hopes his long established relationships will help him reach his goal, but McGorey also said it is fun to visit familiar places.

“A lot of places I get to see a lot of friends that I haven’t seen in years,” McGorey said.

Restaurant reviews

Barone’s builds buzz with pizza prowess GLEN ELLYN – A serious craving for pizza one recent Sunday afternoon prompted us to try someplace new, Barone’s of Glen Ellyn, which turns out to be a community institution steeped in the village’s history and in the noble art of the American pie.

Founded in 1971, the restaurant has two dining rooms, decorated with photos tracing the history of Glen Ellyn, with an homage to earlier identities such as Danby and Prospect Park written prettily across faux-finished walls. Warmly greeted as we were directed to our table, we were treated to one of several booths with a digital frame shuffling through a display of historic photographs, which proved great fun and a conversation kick-starter.

The attractively designed space is conducive to conversation, even as the rooms began to fill shortly following the daily mid-afternoon opening.

Looking for an interesting brew, my dining companion found Mama’s Little Yella Pils, which he recommends for its crisp, clean flavor, and I enjoyed a generously poured house cabernet. Cocktails are available, along with a variety of wines and craft beers.

While we studied the menu, which extends to Italian dishes and other staples in addition to pizza, we enjoyed thick slices of crusty bread accompanied by a petite carafe of olive olive for dipping and a shaker of Parmesan. While good enough to be homemade, the bread turned out to be from Turano Baking Company of Berwyn.

We opened with a delicious wedge salad, with ultra crisp iceberg lettuce smothered in the house bleu cheese dressing and well sprinkled with diced tomato and crunchy, flavorful bacon for zesty contrasts in texture and taste.

A cross-country celebrity argument recently in the news about the merits of Chicago’s stuffed pizza vs. traditional crust was resolved peacefully

Barone’s has been a popular dining destination in Glen Ellyn since 1971.

The “small” stuffed pizza is a substantial treat for pizza lovers and will Crisp flavors set this wedge salad apart – did we mention all the basatisfy the heartiest appetite. con, plus tomato? long ago at Barone’s, which embraces thin crust, pan and stuffed pizza.

Thankfully, it also offers a delicious gluten-free crust option that I tried with sausage, onions and a plentiful topping of fresh mushrooms.

This alternate thin crust with its mildly tell-tale sweetness means the welcome end of deprivation for pizza lovers trying to avoid gluten.

My companion went for the stuffed pie, with fresh spinach, mushroom and bacon.

“While not classic Chicago style, it’s a tasty suburban twist,” he said.

And while he ordered a “small” pizza, it provided eight massive slices – and ample leftovers for lunches.

The service was terrific, and we liked being able to help ourselves to water refills with a wine-bottle-cum-watercarafe as we lingered over the meal.

The menu ranges from pasta and Italian specialties to barbecue ribs, burgers, soups

and salads, with gluten-free pasta also available.

Off the dining rooms is a spacious entry area that accommodates pickup and delivery services, and houses a freezer case of pizza and other dishes that folks can take home to finish cooking in their own kitchen.

Another case holds tempting desserts, ideal to take along if you haven’t left enough room at dinner. Also sold are package wine and beer, candy, ice cream and ices.

As we walked to its parking lot, we spotted Barone’s playroom for kids, featuring toys and video games with several rapt young people – another thoughtful touch at this venerable family restaurant.

Modernize the holiday by choosing a salmon and chartreuse color scheme over traditional red and green, mentions Canepa. “If this part of the color wheel leaves you flat, use the symbols of Christmas like candy canes, reindeer, stars, pinecones, stockings, candles and balls - but make sure they are other hues than red and green. Add white, lots of white, which adds pop.”

Silver, gold and mirrored surfaces are also appropriate and modern, as are neutral colors such as white, gray and beige when combined with shiny materials.

“Silver is the metallic accent that ties [this year’s holiday] colors together,” says Ann Durkin, part-time adjunct faculty professor of Interior Design at The Art Institute of Phoenix.

Durkin adds that this holiday season marks a shift toward textures that express warmth through materials - such as wood, suede and burlap.

“There is a strong desire for more touchable handmade or nature-made objects with a modern twist.-This can be an embroidered or knitted pillow covers, textured rugs or a burlap tree skirt.”

She advises holiday decorators to keep things simple and to showcase special pieces such as handmade ornaments. “There is no need to buy new decorations every year.-But don’t let the old decorations drive your design for the space.”-Be selective in how you will re-use them.

Durkin says that updating old ornaments can be as simple as repainting them with matte silver paint and affixing silver beads with a sheer silver bow.

Old ornaments may also be re-covered with fabrics such as burlap, to give an earthy hand-made appearance.-”This way you can still preserve the original look of the ornament, if it makes sense to use it again in the future. Think of it as a slip-cover for your ornament.

“The overall idea is to have fun and re-use existing decorations as much as possible by reinventing them,” Durkin states.

The key to this holiday season’s decorating: keeping things simple yet chic while matching your personal style. “Create a timeless ensemble which could extend beyond the holiday season and be used as the basic foundation for your interiors throughout the year,” says Durkin.

NED • Friday, December 13, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • ADP Suburban Life

(BPT) - This year’s holiday season is taking on a decidedly modern twist, with an emphasis on recycling and repurposing old decorations, utilizing sustainable decor, and adding sparkle to complete the look.

Shari Canepa, American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), member, LEED Green Associate, and a member of the interior design faculty at The Art Institute of California - San Francisco, a campus of Argosy University, says that sustainability begins with the icon of Christmas: the Christmas tree.

“It can no longer be artificial or cut.

Bring a potted tree into your home with the intention of planting it after Christmas in the yard. The idea is to save a tree and plant a tree, giving a gift to nature after Christmas.”

Canepa recommends creating a new focal point in the public area of your home to reinforce the spirit of the season. “You can do this with a tree, wreaths, special seasonal decorative accessories or lighting. Shifting the focal point changes your psychological relationship to the room.”

To design a new focal point, Canepa suggests an arrangement of various sized potted trees that can be conveniently moved. Create a mini forest of varying sizes and heights and decorate with lights and ornaments. “Supple evergreen branches wrapped around a stair banister with or without lights is also a nice addition.”

To continue the sustainable trend, utilize energy-friendly LED lights around pictures, ceiling moldings, desk railings, in interior flower arrangements or on door casings.

“Sophisticated or elegant interiors move toward white lights while energetic, youthful or modern themes make use of the color option.

These energy saving lights make using lots of sparkle for Christmas guilt-free,” Canepa says.

Holly and mistletoe are symbols of Christmas h, by gosh, by golly it’s time for mistletoe and holly. Tasty pheasants, Christmas presents, countrysides covered in snow.”

As exemplified by this holiday hit by Henry Sanicola, Frank Sinatra and Dok Stanford, holly and mistletoe are an integral part of holiday imagery and tradition. Holly is used to adorn a home in green and red finery alongside evergreen boughs and wreaths. In addition, it has become customary to hang a bouquet of mistletoe under which people are encouraged to share a holiday kiss. While these elements of celebrations are now incorporated into many of the secular and religious components of Christmas, they have very different origins.

“O

Whether faux or fresh mistletoe, a bouquet of this plant symbolizes peace and tranquility for Christmas.

Holly

Holly has been used since the days of the early Pagans as a decoration for midwinter festivities, when it was brought into homes to keep evil spirits away. The ancient Romans also believed that holly prickles drove away evil spirits, and it held a place of honor at December festivals dedicated to the god Saturn. To avoid persecution during the Roman pagan Saturnalia festival, early Christians would participate in the tradition of hanging evil-repelling holly on their homes to appear like the masses.

Eventually as the number of Christians grew, the tradition became less of a pagan one and more associated with Christians and Christmas. Some people have inferred that holly and its prickly edges is symbolic of the crown of thorns Jesus wore at his crucifixion, with the red berries representing blood.

Mistletoe

Mistletoe was once held sacred by the Norse, Celtic Druids and North American Indians. It is actually a parasitic plant that grows on a wide range of host trees. Heavy infestation can dwarf the growth and kill these trees. In cultures across pre-Christian Europe, mistletoe was seen as a representation of divine male essence (and thus romance, fertility and vitality). The plant also was thought to be a symbol of peace, and anyone standing below it should receive tokens of affection. When enemies met

beneath mistletoe, they had to lay down their weapons and observe a truce until the next day. This is how the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe likely began, and why a ball of mistletoe is now hung in homes during Christmas, a season of peace and affection.

Homeowners who hang mistletoe and holly around their homes during the holiday season should be mindful of pets and youngsters around the plants. Mistletoe and holly are considered to be moderately to severely toxic, and ingesting the leaves could be dangerous. Therefore, keep these plants away from curious hands. Mistletoe is commonly hung up high, which should make it less problematic, but holly should be hung high as well.

Now largely associated with Christmas celebrations, holly and mistletoe were once part of pagan rituals and ancient superstitions.

(BPT) - Cinnamon may be the world’s most popular baking spice, but all cinnamons are not created equal, and in the foodie world, Vietnamese cinnamon has emerged as the most prized of the bunch.

The bunch, by the way, includes an array of cinnamons and cassias, all from evergreen trees of the Cinnamomum genus. Some are from Indonesia, others from China, Sri Lanka or Mexico.

Dark reddish/brown and lushly aromatic, Vietnamese cinnamon is favored for its distinctly sweet, peppery, spicy flavor. Less tannic and more robust than its relatives, it delivers a powerful taste whether used solo - as in those gooey rolls or spirally bread - or in combo with other spices - in a curry or pumpkin pie spice blend, for example.

All that potency comes from an extraordinarily high volatile oil content - the highest of all the cinnamons about 1 to 6 percent, compared with .5 to 2.5 percent in other cinnamons. The high oil content also helps the flavor disperse fully; there’s no mistaking what spice you’re dealing with when you taste a dish seasoned with Vietnamese cinnamon.

Tips for using Vietnamese cinnamon: Browse any assortment of baking recipes and you’ll find cinnamon in the ingredients lists for cakes, muffins, breads, cookies, pies, bread puddings, cobblers, crisps, and pastries. It also has a special affinity for fruits, such as apples, apricots,

cherries, pears, bananas and citrus.

Cinnamon’s warm flavor also shows up in plenty of savory dishes - soups, sauces, chutneys, catsup, pickles, fish, meat and poultry glazes, as well as many ethnic recipes. Its pungent sweetness also enhances grains and hearty vegetables like carrots, squash, potatoes, beets and onions. In most savory dishes, cooks prefer Vietnamese cinnamon over other cinnamons because of its ability to hold its own alongside other lively ingredients.

When using Vietnamese cinnamon to spice a beverage - a hot cocoa, an eggnog, hot cider, coffee or tea - you might start by stirring it into your prepared beverage just a bit at a time. Once you nail your preferred amount, you can add it directly right into your coffeemaker basket along with your ground coffee, your mulling cider pot or your tea blend, for example.

Vietnamese cinnamon also partners well with other spices like cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, allspice and black pepper.

Here are a few places you might not have considered using cinnamon: * Soups, stews and chili * Peanut brittle * Popcorn seasoning * Spice rubs for meats * Grilling marinades for fruits * Rice and tapioca puddings * Chocolate cakes * Spiced nuts * Granola and muesli

Here’s a recipe that shows off the vibrant flavor of Vietnamese cinnamon: Poached Cinnamon Cheese Pears 4 large pears 3/4 cup pear juice 1 tablespoon honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cinnamon stick 2 tablespoons golden raisins 4 ounces softened cream cheese 1/4 teaspoon Vietnamese cinnamon powder 3 tablespoons slivered almonds Slice pears in half lengthwise and core. Place in a saucepan. In a small bowl combine juice, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon stick and raisins; pour over the pears. Cover and simmer about half an hour, until pears are just tender. Place pears on a serving platter. Blend together cream cheese, leftover cooking liquid and cinnamon powder. Spoon some of the mixture atop the center of each pear, sprinkle with almonds, and serve.

Makes four large servings.

For a collection of seven savory recipes with cinnamon from various publications, visit www.theKitchn.com. Vietnamese cinnamon is available through Frontier Natural Products. They offer their organic Vietnamese cinnamon (5 percent oil) in one-pound bulk bags as well as 1.31-ounce bottles. This brand won the Gold Star Award from the restaurant industry publication Sante Magazine, who deemed it “a standout.”

Express gratitude - It’s important to remember that above all else, holiday tipping is really holiday thanking, extending a courteous gesture as a result of service throughout the year. No matter how much or what you decide to give, it’s always important to offer your thanks with a hand-written note or holiday card. After all, it’s the thought and sentiment behind the gesture that matters most, not the gift itself.

Consider these holiday tipping guidelines from Post:

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE |

(BPT) - When the holiday season arrives, so too does the enigma of holiday tipping.

What’s supposed to be a sign of gratitude for great service, can quickly turn into stress as you try to decide if and how much you should tip the handyman, mail carrier, babysitter and many more.

Lizzie Post, co-author of “Emily Post’s Etiquette, 18th edition” and great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post, knows the finer points of tipping during the holiday season, including who to tip, how much to tip and how to stay on budget doing so. Post has teamed with up Bank of America, and here are some of her suggestions: Make a list - The key to holiday tipping is to plan ahead so nobody gets overlooked.

A tip is appropriate for people who have provided their services throughout the year, like your dog walker, housekeeper, personal trainer, hairstylist, doorman and trash collector. Don’t forget to think of the entire family in the process, as well - it’s always good to recognize babysitters, day care providers and nannies.

Scale appropriately - The general rule of thumb for holiday tipping is up to the cost of one instance of service. However, this does not ring true for everyone on your list. Individuals who provide service on a more regular basis, such as an au pair or housekeeper, may require additional recognition, such as one week’s pay. Some people who may appreciate a gift, but most likely cannot accept cash, include your child’s teacher, health care professionals and government employees, like your mail carrier. By making gift purchases for these individuals with a rewards card, such as BankAmericard Cash Rewards(TM) card, you can earn cash back on every purchase, so when the holidays conclude, you have extra money in your pocket.

Leverage technology - The holiday season is a hectic time of year for many people, so leverage technology to make life easier. Using easy-to-use tools, such as Bank of America’s mobile application, you can stay on top of account balances for gift giving and set up alerts to get balance

of Santa alive. In addition to the standard traditions of leaving cookies and milk out for the jolly old man, come up with new ways to evoke the essence of Santa. Spray peppermint air freshener around the tree and other places Santa is sure to visit. Use a large boot to make a footprint in a plush rug. Find a way to trigger noise on the roof to give kids the impression that Mr. Claus himself has arrived. Extra measures to keep Santa alive can help everyone enjoy the holiday that much more. * Take advantage of opportunities to spend time with Santa. Parents and children alike have many opportunities to spend time with Santa during the holiday season, including photo opportunities at the mall and personalized videos sent directly to youngsters’ email accounts. Elf dolls and breakfast with Santa at a nearby restaurant are other opportunities to spread the magic. Make the most of these opportunities over the course of the holiday season. * Spread some Christmas cheer. Santa’s job is to bring presents to the world’s children. Channel the notion that giving is better than receiving and spend time giving back to others as a family. Schedule a day when you can distribute gifts at a senior center or arrange to bring gifts to a foster child. Bake cookies and deliver cellophane-wrapped dishes to all of your neighbors. These activities put the emphasis on giving.

Keeping the tradition of Santa Claus alive can help adults and children alike enjoy a more festive holiday season.

e had a broad face and a little round belly that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf. And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself. - “A Visit From St. Nicholas” Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without Santa Claus. Santa will forever be ingrained in the holiday season, serving as an endearing symbol of the season regardless of your religious affiliation.

Parents typically go to great lengths to ensure their children enjoy the holiday season. By keeping the magic of Santa alive, parents can add a special touch to the holiday season for their youngsters. Children may become more skeptical of Santa around the time they turn 10, but there are plenty of ways to encourage this spirit to live on year after year. * Read an uplifting story.

The holidays are ripe with stories that tug at the heartstrings. Parents can take their children to the library and rent a Christmas tale or take home a book of holiday stories, reading a different one before bed each night.

Encourage children to write their own positive stories of what the holidays mean to them and read them aloud to family and friends.

The book “101 Ways to Keep the Spirit of Santa Alive: For “Kids” From 1 to 92” by John Hagerman is a great way to get everyone in the house enthusiastic about Santa. * Keep the magic flowing. Children who believe in Santa for an extra year or two often come from families that keep the magic

Addison Trail’s Taylor White brings the ball upcourt in Monday’s home game against Wheaton North. The Blazers lost at the buzzer, continuing a frustrating early-season trend.

Buzzer-beaters sinking Blazers

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com ADDISON – The Addison Trail boys basketball team has already had enough lategame drama to fill an entire season.

Monday’s 63-62 loss to Wheaton North as part of AT’s pre-holiday tournament was the third game the Blazers have had decided at the buzzer and fourth go down to the final seconds.

After Simon Jakubczak put back a James Pupillo miss with four seconds left to give the Blazers a 62-60 lead, Wheaton North’s Matt Biegalski answered by swishing a contested 3-pointer on the left wing at the buzzer.

The Blazers fell to 2-5 but have been in every game

Downers Grove S. 52 Addison Trail 46 AT scoring leaders • Joe Kurucar, 16 points • Ronald Duling, 11 points • Taylor White, 10 points

Wheaton North 63 Addison Trail 62 AT scoring leaders • James Pupillo, 26 points • Duling, 10 points • White, 10 points

down the stretch. In Friday’s West Suburban Gold opener against Downers Grove South, the Blazers led at halftime just like they did against

Wheaton North before falling 52-46.

“We’re trying to tell our guys that we can’t keep looking at the results, we have to look at the process,” AT coach Brendan Lyons said.

“The process has been similar in a lot of the games that we have lost. We’ve dug ourselves holes, typically in the third quarter, and in a variety of different ways. Friday night it was shooting the ball from the perimeter. [Monday] it was getting the ball to the basket and finishing and creating some things with our defense.”

Pupillo put up 26 points against the Falcons, with 18 coming in the second half.

Taylor White and Ronald Duling each scored 10.

Pupillo handles a variety

of key roles for the Blazers.

In addition to being leading scorer, Pupillo is also responsible for creating shots for his teammates as the point guard.

He also harassed Wheaton North’s guards into a number of turnovers. All that despite being under the weather, according to Lyons.

“I thought it was one of his better games I’ve seen him play here,” Lyons said.

“Even in the first half when he wasn’t shooting it well, he was a catalyst for us in terms of getting guys looks whether it was off a rebound or a steal for transition baskets.”

Despite some positives, the bottom line is that the Blazers’ 2-5 record is well below their own expectations. Finding a way to make the competitive play translate into more

wins will be the key the rest of the season.

“We can say we’re right there and we’re in every game, and that’s a step forward, but they want better than that, I want better than that,” Lyons said. “I think we could be 5-2 or 7-0, or we could be 0-7. “[Monday was] the fourth time we’ve given ourselves the lead with under 15 seconds to go in a game, and we’re 1-3 in those games. This is twice now with under 4.5 seconds [left in a game] that the other team has had the ball and we’ve not been able to get that last stop.”

Addison Trail returns to action Friday at Leyden. The Blazers will play two more games in their pre-holiday tournament on Saturday and Monday.

Suburban Life ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

MOLLY KRAWCZYKOWSKI Willowbrook | Senior | Basketball Why Krawczykowski was selected: Krawczykowski scored double figures in each of Willowbrook’s conference wins during the past seven days.

Willowbrook senior guard Molly Krawczykowski has the Warriors undefeated and on top of the West Suburban Gold. She scored 14 points in a crucial 60-54 win at Proviso East on Saturday and followed that up by scoring all 13 of her points in the first half of a 69-24 win against Leyden on Tuesday. Willowbrook is 8-0 and hoping to win the conference title. Krawczykowski, the Oak Trust Credit Union Athlete of the Week, spoke with sports reporter Dan Santaromita about the team’s hot start.

What do you think of the team’s start to the season?

Well, our goal is to go undefeated in conference this year, so we’ve been working really hard and it’s nice to see us starting to reach our goal.

Was the win at Proviso East the biggest game so far?

Yeah. We were all nervous going into it because it was our first big game and we were down at halftime.

Then we just all came together after halftime, played really hard and came back and won. It was important to us.

Who on the team has impressed you?

We have a sophomore, Danielle Velasquez, who has been working really hard.

She’s impressed a lot of people. She also hustles and she’s always working hard so it’s nice to have her on the team.

Do you have any college plans yet?

I’m still undecided between basketball and track.

MORE BEARS COVERAGE AT HUBARKUSH.COM

Are the Browns the cupcake the Bears need?

Hub Arkush

With the Bears desperately needing to close out the season with three more wins to keep their hopes of winning the NFC North and a trip to the playoffs alive, the Cleveland Browns would appear to be exactly the cupcake the doctor ordered.

After all, the Browns are 4-9, mired in a four-game losing streak, and stuck in last place in the AFC North.

Ah, but looks can be deceiving.

The Bears have faced three other lastplace teams this season in the Vikings, Redskins and Rams, and their record is 1-3 against them, with a loss to each.

While the Browns record is weak, they do own victories over the Bengals and Ravens, and they actually had a 26-14 lead last week in New England with only two minutes remaining before the Patri-

ots made a miraculous comeback with the help of some questionable officiating.

This is a team the Bears absolutely cannot afford to look past if they don’t want to risk all the ground they just made with Monday night’s win over the Cowboys.

The good news for the Bears is the Browns’ greatest struggles are in the area of the Bears’ greatest challenge.

While the Bears are still dead last in the NFL against the run, the Browns are only 28th in the NFL in rushing and 27th in average gain per run.

That is in large part due to their early season trade of Trent Richardson to the Colts, which may have netted them an extra first round draft choice in the 2014 draft, but left them with the aged Willis McGahee, who is averaging only 2.7 yards a carry, and youngsters Chris Ogbonnaya and Fozzy Whittaker.

Cleveland is better throwing the football, ranking 10th in passing yardage, but they’re only 28th in average gain per pass and are 18th in interceptions and sacks allowed.

herma Tru Doors

Part of the problem is the inability to keep quarterbacks healthy.

Brian Hoyer had won the starting job before tearing up a knee and going down for the year, and former Bears’ quarterback Jason Campbell was playing very well with an 88.0 passer rating before battling a concussion for several weeks.

Campbell did make it back last week to throw for 391 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions at New England, the bulk of it going to Josh Gordon.

Gordon is enjoying an All-Pro type season with 71 receptions, 1,400 yards and eight touchdowns. He will pose the biggest challenge for the Bears’ defense, Tim Jennings and Zack Bowman in particular. Tight end Jordan Cameron also is extremely dangerous. He’s caught 72 passes for 825 yards and seven touchdowns on the year.

For all their prowess in the passing game, the Browns still average only 19.8 points a game, good for 27th in the league is scoring.

The Browns’ defense has been ex-

cellent most of the season in keeping opposing offenses off the field, ranking seventh in total defense, fourth against the run and second in average yards per rushing play. They are eighth against the pass, and third in average yards per pass play.

Big plays are the Browns defense’s Achilles heel, though, as it’s only 24th in interceptions, 14th in sacks and 19th in points allowed.

Paul Kruger and rookie first-round draft pick Barkevious Mingo are their best pass rushers. D’Qwell Jackson is the club’s leading tackler from the inside linebacker spot, and Phil Taylor and Ahtyba Rubin do a really nice job up front at nose tackle and the five techniques, respectively, in the Browns’ base 3-4 defense.

If the Bears’ offense plays like it did against the Cowboys, it’ll be an extremely tough out for Cleveland. But if the Bears can’t pressure Campbell in the pocket, he, Gordon and Cameron will give the Bears another shootout like all the other last-place clubs they’ve faced.

MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT Broncos (vs. Chargers), 7:25 p.m. Thursday At this point, you probably don’t need anyone to tell you to play your Broncos, but this is a particularly good matchup.

Only four teams give up more passing yards than San Diego, and one of those teams is the Broncos. Looks like a shootout.

Must starts: Peyton Man-

Solid plays: Steven Jackson, Tony Gonzalez Worth a look: Matt Ryan, Roddy White Last resort: Harry Douglas Avoid: Atlanta defense Browns (vs. Bears), Sunday noon We all know by now that the Bears have a historically bad run defense.

Trains serve many purposes. They are used for moving cargo, for getting workers to the places they need to go in big cities, and for travel and sightseeing. Trains move fast and strive to be on time, running on strict schedules so passengers know exactly when the trains are going to arrive to pick them up and drop them off.

Help unscramble the schedule for the train. Take a look at the town names and times below, and put the stops in order (1 through 9) next to the pole on the tracks. Start at the irst stop early in the morning, and the last stop late at night.
