Addison gets into holiday spirit for annual tree lighting

By MARY BETH VERSACI

If you go

mversaci@shawmedia.com

ADDISON – Santa Claus is coming to Addison.

He and his friends, Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, will be in town Friday evening for the village’s annual Christmas Tree Lighting.

Addison has hosted its lighting for at least 25 years, said Doree Krage, the village’s assistant director of community relations.

While Friendship Plaza is already decked out for the holidays with various light displays, Krage said there’s something special about seeing the tree inside the Village Hall rotunda when it’s lit.

“Seeing the rotunda all dressed up in holiday lights is really stunning,” she said.

The tree will be lit by Addison Mayor Rich Veenstra, Miss Addison Samantha Slater, and the big man himself, Santa Claus, with his wife, Mrs. Claus.

The evening will begin at 5 p.m. with visits with Santa and his special guests. These will continue until the Addison Trail High School Shades of Blue ensemble and students from Stone and Lake Park elementary schools perform carols in the Addison Village Board of Trustees board room.

Children visit with Santa Claus, Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer at the 2013 Addison Christmas Tree Lighting.

“Hearing the kids with the Christmas carols really gets you in the mood for Christmas,” said Krage, whose favorite part of the event is the children’s performance.

The tree will be lit about 8 p.m. during the carolers’ final song. Visits with Santa will continue after the tree is lit.

For those who don’t want to squeeze their way into the board room, the performance will be broadcast through speakers throughout Village Hall. It also will be shown on Addison Community TV during December.

Sleigh rides will be offered

from 5 to 9 p.m. outside Village Hall, taking guests around Friendship Plaza and the village’s Historical District campus.

The event will feature plenty of treats, from cups of hot chocolate from the Kiwanis Club of Addison to hot dogs from Muggs ‘N Manor and doughnuts from Clyde’s Delicious Donuts to popcorn from the Knights of Columbus. Uncle Harry’s Ice Cream also will sell seasonal ice cream and pastries.

Muggs ‘N Manor owner Dean Stathopoulos, who serves as the chairman of the

village’s Special Events Commission, said providing the free hot dogs is a small way to give back to the community that has supported his business for the past 16 years.

“It’s just something small we can do to help out,” he said.

“It’s our thank you for everyone else helping us out all the time.”

During his years on the commission, he’s noticed community involvement with the annual tree lighting has grown, and more and more people attend every year.

“After we’ve gone through Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday and Cyber Week, this kind of gets everyone back to the basics of (the Christmas season),” Stathopoulos said.

LOMBARD – For the ninth year in a row, Lombard will transform into a winter wonderland full of festivities for the annual Jingle Bell Jubilee on Saturday.

“This is going to be the best one yet,” Lombard Village President Keith Giagnorio said.

This year, the town’s annual tree lighting will be combined with the lighting of Lilacia Park during the Jingle Bell Jubilee.

Jill Wejman, marketing and communications manager for the Lombard Park District, said this year’s display also will include dancing lights and a new sound system that will play holiday music.

“Lilacia Park is just gorgeous, and it’s really beautiful when it’s all lit up,” Giagnorio said.

The holiday extravaganza began eight years ago by bringing together several events by local organizations to have one day packed with festivities.

“We really can do a much bigger event,” said Sarah Richardt, Lombard Town Centre executive director.

The Jubilee includes performances by the Glenbard East

“We want to see everyone have an opportunity to have a great Christmas,” said Josh Hays, the firefighter and paramedic who is leading the Toy Drive.

This is Hays’ fourth year as the organizer. He estimates the drive collected about $10,000 of toys, supplies and donations last year, but the department has no set goal for this year.

“It’s hard to put a number on the number of toys we want to collect,” he said.

The department is not alone in its efforts.

In addition to residents and businesses who donate to the drive, three elementary schools in Lombard also will be collecting toys.

Donations will be picked up Dec. 12 from Hammerschmidt, Manor Hill and Pleasant Lane elementary schools.

At Manor Hill, drive efforts are led by the Student Council, which is advised by fifth-grade teacher Deb Holas.

The collection usually draws a huge response from students and staff, Holas said, adding she is amazed each year at the outpouring of support from the school, which has families in need in its own community as well.

“We are so fortunate to have such a generous community here at Manor Hill,” she said.

The drive will benefit Teen Parent Connection, First Things First and the Lom-

The organizations distribute the items to the families they serve.

Acceptable items for the drive include unwrapped new toys and baby supplies such as formula and diapers. Cash donations also may be made at either Lombard fire station.

Firefighters collect any last-minute donations from residents during the Toy Parade, which travels from downtown Lombard to Glenbard East High School. After the parade, firefighters bring the donations to Yorktown Center for its Stuff the Sleigh Toy Drive.

“It’s just a big finale to the event,” Hays said. “It’s great to have your kids bring a toy to the route.”

It’s important for children to learn the importance of giving back at an early age, Holas said, adding this is a lesson that is reinforced at school.

“Without that generosity of spirit, where would our world be?” she said.

vehicle about 3 p.m. on Butterfield Road near Route 83 and opened fire, striking Thomas in the wrist.

Thomas exited the vehicle and a passing motorist picked her up. Smith then followed that vehicle and after a brief chase, opened fire again.

The good Samaritan drove Thomas to the Oakbrook Terrace Police Department. Then, she was taken to the hospital to be treated for her injuries.

Smith later turned himself in to police about 7:30 p.m.

Since being charged, Smith has remained in the DuPage County Jail on $500,000 bond.

He will receive credit for the time served since his arrest.

Smith will be required to serve 85 percent of his sentence before being eligible for parole.

A GLIMMER OF HOPE The key to preventing glaucoma from permanently robbing people of their sight is early detection and treatment. Otherwise, this progressive eye disease (often associated with elevated inner eye pressure) can damage the optic nerve that transmits images to the brain. However, new research may provide a glimmer of hope on glaucoma’s vision-robbing potential. It seems that a new computerized eye-training program may be used to conduct daily “vision workouts” that restore a significant degree of glaucoma patients’ sight by taking advantage of the brain’s talent for learning new tricks. Although the training strengthens brain connections that survive the damage, it does not bring dead cells and nerve fibers damaged by glaucoma back to life.

During a comprehensive eye exam, your eye doctor will check your eyes for common eye diseases, judge how your eyes work together, and evaluate your eyes as an indicator of your overall health. To schedule an eye exam, please call SKOWRON EYE CARE. Experience, commitment to technology, and a genuine concern for patient welfare enable all of our doctors and our highly qualified staff to work together to consistently deliver quality, affordable eye care. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision.

P.S. As of yet, the eye-training program described above does not improve a glaucoma patient’s ability to see under normal day-to-day circumstances.

SB16 does not solve state funding woes If you’re reading this article, you must be in the habit of scanning for something else to maintain your interest, so thank you for stopping here. And, having read other articles of interest first, surely you’ve come across the ones pertaining to Senate Bill 16. Perhaps this school district superintendent may have something else to add – we’ll see.

COMMUNITY The recent hearing in VOICE Springfield contributed to Anthony J. the long history of funding reform in Illinois. Since Palmisano the start of the school year, districts in DuPage County have pushed information out to their communities in opposition to the bill. However, as educators, I wonder if we’ve really communicated the intention behind the opposition.

My fear is, to many, this opposition may appear self-centered or even a little bit whiny. It also might appear we don’t care about other districts in Illinois who are less fortunate. This bill presents a myriad of problems beyond the fact our district would lose about $2.9 million. We would be forced to drastically cut programs in special education, bilingual, curriculum, extracurriculars – including all sports at the middle school level – materials, supplies, technology and staff, to name a few.

But this is not the whole issue, and after the Nov. 18 hearing, I think our legislators finally get it. The bill, in its current form, would simply redistribute the insufficient amount of money the state currently provides to school districts. The money provided to Illinois schools was never adequate enough to satisfy the hundreds of educational mandates the state places on us each year. In other words, this is really about adequacy. The legislators are beginning to ask what it takes to meet the needs of students. This is not about stealing from the rich to give to the poor. This is about finding a solution for all kids.

We will join our legislators in finding a better solution for every child, not just the ones in our own districts. The legislators got what they wanted – everyone talking. What we have to be leery of now is the old adage, “Threaten them with death and they’ll accept amputation.” To meet the needs of students, funding must come from somewhere. If it’s not from income taxes, what will it be? If SB16 comes back in another form, creating winners and losers of another sort, the mandates still remain. How will the mandates be funded? This will be the debate moving forward, and it will affect everyone. Keep watching out for the kids, not just ours, but everyone’s.

Anthony J. Palmisano is the superintendent of School District 45, DuPage County.

Here’s even more reason to shop local in Lombard. Since the 2013 holiday season, three retail businesses have opened in downtown Lombard – ClaSha, Sparkle Again Boutique and Penelope Fine Jewelry and Watches. Lombard Town Centre expects to see more holiday shoppers downtown this year because of the rising number of shops.

Firefighters and students teamed up again this year in the fight against hunger. The Glenbard East Student Council organized a food drive at the high school, and a Lombard fire truck delivered the truckload to the York Township Food Pantry. Also on the truck were paper goods and food from the village’s collection.

Justice needs to be done in Ferguson, Mo. To see an officer get away with something like that or to shoot an unarmed teenager is just stupid. The grand jury did not even indict him. He should have been charged. They now have to deal with riots, and these police officers should back off these protesters.

Snow Plan to include cul-de-sacs SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

LOMBARD – Recent changes to Lombard’s Snow Plan alter how some cul-de-sacs will be cleared and include new storage tanks that hold liquids for snow and ice control.

The village of Lombard’s Public Works Department recently completed its annual review of its Snow Plan based on input from staff and a review of previous operations, according to a village news release.

One of the most notable updates is the change to the clearing of some cul-de-sacs, Public Works Director Carl Goldsmith said in the release.

In past Snow Plans, cul-desacs were generally cleared as part of the third or final phase of operations. In order to expedite the clearing of these residential areas, the village has changed the policy to push snow to the middle on some cul-de-sacs. Through this change, certain cul-de-sacs can be cleared using standard snow removal equipment instead of a loader. This speeds up the response to those areas, Goldsmith said.

The Public Works Department is responsible for the clearing of snow and ice from more than 90 cul-desacs, bubbles and eyebrows throughout the village, according to the release.

The updated plan also includes tanks containing 2,000 gallons of calcium chloride and 2,000 gallons of salt brine that have been installed at the village’s Keith J. Surges Center. Lombard purchased these additional storage tanks to hold liquid applications for snow and ice control.

The village also will amend the Snow Plan in early 2015 when a 1,500-gallon anti-icing spray tank arrives.

Other changes to the plan include additions or changes to sections related to pre-trip and post-trip safety inspections, guidelines for executing U-Turns during snow operations and the inclusion of an Extreme Cold Weather Salting protocol after last winter’s severe conditions. The 2014-15 Snow Plan is available at villageoflombard.org.

A Glen Ellyn businesswoman has been tapped as the nominee to become the DuPage County Board’s next member.

Chairman Dan Cronin confirmed Karyn Romano, president of public affairs firm Metro Strategies, was his choice to represent District 4.

Romano was selected over 34 other applicants for her experience in local government and as a small business owner, Cronin said.

“I’m thrilled there were so many people and so much interest – it speaks well of what we’re doing in the county,” he said. “At the end of the day, it came down to the fact that she was uniquely qualified.”

Romano, who did not respond to requests for comment, will be formally presented by Cronin to the board as a nominee Tuesday for a vote.

If appointed, she will replace former board member and Republican JR McBride, who died Oct. 24 after a long fight with cancer. She would serve the remainder of McBride’s term, which expires Nov. 30, 2016.

Romano was one of eight finalists who attended a Nov. 22 candidate forum to answer questions from Cronin and District 4 board members Grant Eckhoff and Amy Grant.

She has served as head of Metro Strategies since 2004, according to a resume provided by the county.

Her familiarity with county issues is what made her

stand out, Cronin said.

“She’s very, very knowledgeable and has a wealth of experience in local government issues,” he said. “Starting Day 1, she can offer things to the board.”

He said Eckhoff, Grant and other community members were helpful during the replacement process and that from the beginning he wanted it to be a transparent endeavor.

Should Romano be appointed, she would give up any contracts her firm has with the county, Cronin said.

“She is a small business owner, a talented woman and a mom who has a depth of knowledge about local government,” he said. “It’s just a wonderful opportunity for the county and for the taxpayers.”

Holiday Entertaining

Deck your table for the holidays 'T

is the season for holiday entertaining. Icy shades of glistening white, sophisticated naturals and dazzling rhinestones top the hottest design trends in tableware and collectibles for the 2014 winter holidays.

"Shades of white continue to be a customer favorite, both in ornaments and tabletop," says visual designer John Griffith. "For the past few years, holiday decor has hinted at glitz and glitter, but this season we're seeing more of a jeweled look with glamorous winter white designs heavily encrusted with rhinestones. It reminds me of when you wake up after a winter storm and everything is coated in sparking snow and ice."

Griffith leads the design team at dinnerware retailer giant, Replacements, Ltd. He loves mixing patterns in shades of white to create an elegant monochromatic look, but adds that using white as a unifying element also allows one to create endless design combinations by blending in additional colors, textures and shapes. Teammate Keith Winkler says you can easily use a different salad plate for each guest to create fun individual place settings, or even switch out accent plates between holidays to give your tabletop decor a totally different twist.

"For someone who entertains often, this is a great way to break up patterns so their guests don't always see the same designs over and over. Guests will enjoy the seasonal designs, and hosts will have all kinds of fun creating new looks for their table," Winkler says.

Bright colors are also trending as hosts break tradition by adding in splashes of bold hues that aren't typically associated with the holidays.

"In creating one of the table designs in our store,

Mix white and silver patterns to create a frosty look for holiday entertaining.

we mixed non-holiday patterns in shades of purple and metallic gold," says Griffith. "These colors don't readily suggest Christmas, but we were able to create a rich, festive holiday feel by pairing these patterns with holiday accents. We filled glass bowls and compotes with rich-hued ornaments and incorporated gold finials in the table design. We created a centerpiece of silk florals in complementary colors which pulled the design theme together. One of my favorite things about this table is we can easily transition the look by replacing the gold hues with silver accents to create a table for our New Year's celebrations."

Naturals are really popular again this year for both tabletop and holiday ornaments. Designs range from whimsical and folksy to more sophisticated and contemporary. Burlap offers great texture this season with manufacturers incorporating this material into everything from wire decorating ribbon to holiday accents. Griffith suggests using burlap for table runners or place mats and venturing outside to gather greenery such as ivy or magnolia leaves, berries and pine cones to use for your centerpiece.

Vintage tableware continues to be a driving trend. Griffith says many people are including heirloom patterns, passed through the generations, in their holiday place settings to create a sense of family tradition, then mixing in newer patterns to infuse their own sense of style. He's also seeing smaller objects - such as vintage cookie cutters or toys - used as decor accents or to trim the trees.

Griffith says you see some of the design schemes his team is creating for the holiday season and find additional decorating ideas on Replacements' Facebook page.

Ornaments make great accents or place card holders.

etween decking the halls, visiting family and attending holiday parties, it may seem like there is little time to maintain a workout routine during the holiday season. While the holiday season is an especially busy time of year, men and women who plan and stay dedicated to their routines do not need to let their health fall by the wayside until January.

Several studies show that people can gain anywhere from one pound to a few pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Although that might not seem like a lot of weight, a report in The New England Journal of Medicine noted that many people never lose the weight they put on during the holidays.

Those who struggle to keep the weight off understand the importance of maintaining both a consistent fitness schedule and healthy eating habits. This may be challenging when the rich foods and parties synonymous with the holiday season are around to threaten healthy habits. Here’s how to stay on course.

• Establish a regular exercise date. Treat exercise as any other obligation on the calendar. Make it a necessity and not a luxury. Schedule time for workouts, even if it means removing something else from your agenda.

• Don’t worry about the length of your workouts. If you’re accustomed to an hourlong workout but cannot fit in more than 20 minutes on some days, don’t skip the workout simply because it’s shorter. Make the most of that time by targeting larger, core muscles.

• Change your schedule. You may need to alter your daily schedule to fit in gym workouts or other exercise. Try getting up earlier and heading out prior to work or school. This will open up time throughout the rest of your day, and you can use that time to meet the demands of the holiday season.

• Get a trainer or a workout buddy. It’s far easier to blow off a workout when you go it alone. However, if you have a workout partner who is counting on you and vice versa, you may be less inclined to miss a workout — even when you’re not especially motivated to hit the gym.

• Try new activities. Workouts need not be limited to exercises in the gym. Plenty of activities work the body and burn calories. Sledding, ice skating, skiing, and snowboarding are just a few winter sports that can help you stay in shape.

• Choose a hotel with a pool or gym. If holiday travel is on your itinerary, select a hotel that has fitness equipment. This way you can keep up with your routine. Even swimming a few laps in an indoor pool can provide a cardiovascular workout while you’re on vacation. Remember, it only takes a two-week break from exercise to experience a fitness regression, and you will only have to work harder to get back to your current fitness level if you let exercise slide too long.

• Add short, high-intensity exercises. Burn more calories in less time with high-intensity workouts. This way you won’t need to schedule as much time for workouts but will still get the benefit of exercise.

• Transform chores into exercise opportunities. See that vacuum cleaner, rake or broom as a piece of exercise equipment. While cleaning up for holiday company, turn on the radio and get your heart pumping, too. Do leg raises while you’re preparing meals or do some pushups off of the kitchen counter.

• Use your bodyweight. Even if you can’t make it to the gym, rely on your own body resistance for a thorough workout. Pushups, squats, burpees, mountain climbers, jumping rope, and lunges are some exercises that rely on bodyweight for effectiveness.

• Periodically exercise during the day. If you have a few free moments here and there during the day, use these opportunities to exercise.

By the end of the day, you may find you squeezed in an entire workout’s worth of exercise over the course of several 10-minute intervals.

Exercise and fitness do not have to play second fiddle to other holiday activities. Make time for workouts, and you will be ahead of the game come the new year.

any parents fondly recall their first holiday season as a mom and dad.

While youngsters may not remember much about their first Thanksgiving dinner with family or where their first Christmas present was placed under the tree, parents tend to cherish such memories, making their first holidays with children in tow very memorable.

Loved ones of new parents can take steps to make this holiday season even more special. The following are some gift ideas for holiday shoppers who want to make this season even more memorable for the proud new parents in their lives.

• Photo album: Today’s new parents have more pictures and video of their bundles of joy than any previous generation of moms and dads, as smartphones, tablets and other devices have made taking pictures much easier than in years past. But family members also have more access to such photos than ever before, making it easy to put together a special photo album of the new parents and their new child. Pull pictures from the parents’ social media accounts or make an album of the numerous photos you have no doubt received since your loved ones became parents. Parents likely don’t have time to make such albums, so your efforts will almost certainly be appreciated.

• Camcorder: Many smartphones are capable of taking video, but such devices are not ideal for shooting longer home videos new parents will want to watch for years to come. An HD camcorder with sufficient internal flash memory can allow new parents to take longer, higher quality videos with superior audio to those that are shot on smartphones. Such a camcorder may be costly for those shopping on a strict budget, but it’s a gift new parents are sure to love and utilize for years to come.

• Nursery sound system: New moms and dads are no doubt anxiously anticipating the day when the newest additions to their households sleep through the night. Help speed up the arrival of that glorious night with a nursery sound system that provides soothing sounds to create a perfect sleeping environment for newly born boys and girls. The results may not arrive overnight, but parents may soon find their lovable youngster is spending more of the wee hours of the morning sleeping and less time waking up mom and dad.

• Spa treatment: Not every gift you buy for the new parents in your life needs to focus on helping them cherish their first holiday season as parents.

New parents tend to experience lots of exhaustion in their first few months on the job, but a spa treatment can be just the relaxing break they need from catering to their bundle of joys’ every need. Moms may prefer the full spa treatment, while dads may simply want a massage and some relaxing time in the steam room. Book a treatment for both mom and dad so they can spend some time relaxing during this hectic time of year.

New parents often cherish their first holiday season as moms and dads, and the right holiday gift can make that first holiday season even better.

any families have their own unique holiday traditions, but some traditions transcend familial lines to become an integral part of many people’s holiday celebrations. One of the more popular traditions during this festive time of year is to watch a favorite holiday film with family and friends. With that in mind, the following are some of the most beloved holiday movies ever to make it onto the big screen.

• “It’s a Wonderful Life”: Perhaps no holiday film is more beloved than this 1946 Frank Capra-directed classic. Screen legend Jimmy Stewart plays a desperate businessman contemplating suicide during the holiday season. But a guardian angel helps him realize all the good fortune in his life by showing him what life might have been like if he had never existed.

• “White Christmas”: This 1954 song-and-dance film stars Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye as a pair of longtime friends and ex-military men who fall in love with a sister act team that includes famous singer (and aunt to George Clooney) Rosemary Clooney. Crosby and Kaye join forces to save the failing Vermont inn of their beloved former commander.

• “Miracle on 34th Street”: Natalie Wood stars in this 1947 classic that follows the trial of Kris Kringle, who claims to be Santa Claus and must prove otherwise to avoid being institutionalized. Nominated for Best Picture at the 1948 Academy Awards, “Miracle on 34th Street” won three of the prestigious statuettes, including a Best Supporting Actor Oscar® for Edmund Gwenn, who played the jolly old man in the red suit.

• “Bad Santa”: Though not quite as heartwarming as many holiday films, this 2003 black comedy stars Billy Bob Thornton as miserable, alcoholic con man “Willie,” who poses as a mall Santa Claus so he can rob a department store safe on Christmas Eve. But in spite of its rather raunchy take on the holiday season, the film is ultimately a story of redemption as Willie befriends a bullied youngster and begins to turn his life around.

• “A Christmas Carol”: Those looking for a more traditional take on holiday films need look no further than this 1951 adaptation of the Charles Dickens novella, which tells the tale of bitter miser Ebenezer Scrooge as he is haunted by three ghosts on Christmas Eve.

Holiday Recipe

Cranberries bring tart and tang to the table LIZ WEST/ FLIKR

By Marge Perry

Relish

What’s bright red, named after a bird, tart and tangy, and bounces? Yes, bounces.

The answer is the cranberry.

This little fact is more than amusing trivia. In the mid-1800s, John “Peg-Leg” Webb let his cranberry crop roll down the barn stairs, rather than attempting to carry it down on his one leg, and noticed that the good fruit bounced and the bad fruit just stayed wherever it landed.

The “bounceboard separator,” which is still used today, is a direct result of his observation.

Cranberries, one of only three commercially grown native North American fruits (blueberries and concord grapes are the others), were first cultivated in Massachusetts. It is said they got their name either from the crane-like shape of the blossom or from the fact that they provided a good source of nutrient-rich food for the cranes along the coastline.

Native Americans used the berries medicinally — they made poultices to treat poisonous arrow wounds, used them fresh and dried in their cooking, and even made a pigment from them to dye rugs. Later, whalers discovered cranberries prevented scurvy, and in the past 20 years, study after study has solidified cranberries’ important role in preventing urinary tract infections.

On our modern Thanksgiving table, we may serve cranberries for their health benefits or because of a deeply-rooted holiday tradition: it is believed that Native Americans brought cranberries cooked in maple syrup to that very first

The many ways to recycle Christmas greeting cards

T

he Greeting Card Association says Americans purchase some 6.5 billion greeting cards every year. Of those, around 1.6 billion are Christmas cards. Exchanging cards is a great way for people to show their loved ones that they’re thinking about them, and such cards make for festive ornaments to display around homes. But when the holiday season ends, recycling those cards into other items can make good use of the paper resources and turn what’s normally a single-use item into an enduring trinket.

Come together g A mixed-faith holiday menu

Relish

My husband’s Christmas food traditions included a special roast as the centerpiece of the meal. As the star of the table, this was often an indulgence for his family: rack of lamb, standing rib roast or beef tenderloin were not cuts of meat his family could afford to eat very often.

For me, Hanukkah is practically synonymous with latkes, the fried potato pancakes served by many Jews to commemorate the miracle of the oil in the Temple burning for eight days. We’d eat the pancakes with applesauce and sour cream, or sometimes straight from the frying pan before my mother could even get them to the platter.

For this year’s holiday gathering, we’re serving beef tenderloin with a garlic and herb crust. An easy, do-ahead dish, it takes about 10 minutes to put together and gets rave reviews every time.

We’re pairing the beef with traditional latkes, and as a nod to the applesauce I ate as a child, we’re including Apple Onion Relish, which is great with both the beef and the latkes.

Everyone at the table — regardless of their faith — agrees: it’s heavenly.

Potato Latkes

• 2 T fresh oregano • 6 garlic cloves • 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled • 3 T Dijon mustard and shredded • 1/4 t black pepper • 2 onions, shredded, about 1 1/2 • 1/3 cup extra-vircups gin olive oil • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour • 4 1/2 pounds beef • 2 eggs tenderloin, trimmed • 1/2 t dried thyme and tied • 1 1/4 t salt • 1/2 t salt • 1/4 t black pepper Combine basil, herbs, • 1/4 cup vegetable oil garlic, mustard and pepper • 1/4 cup olive oil

Combine potatoes, onion, flour, eggs, thyme, salt and pepper; mix well. Place in a colander and squeeze out excess liquid.

Pour half the vegetable oil and half the olive oil into a large nonstick skillet; heat until hot but not smoking. Spoon 2 tablespoons potato mixture per latke into skillet, spreading into 3-inch rounds with a fork.

Cook 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until brown. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with additional salt. Repeat with remaining potato mixture and oil. Serve immediately.

The man behind the beard

E

very Christmas Eve, children go to bed eagerly anticipating a visit from Santa Claus. This merry gentleman is purported to visit the home of every good girl and boy, delivering gifts and cheer along the way.

Before the modern evolution of Santa Claus lived a very real and generous individual named Nicholas. In the third century, Nicholas served as the Bishop of Myrna in present-day Turkey. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, believing that giving should be done secretly and sacrificially in Jesus Christ’s name rather than one’s own.

Stories tell of Nicholas paying the dowry for poor daughters to enable them to get married. He reportedly put coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him. It is believed Nicholas helped to restore the hope of hundreds of people in his community, making him a beloved and revered Bishop. Throughout his ministry, Nicholas fervently shared his life and fortune with others.

Nicholas continued to be revered and commemorated by many Christians even after his death. His charity and unselfish works helped inspire generations of the faithful, and he eventually was named the patron saint of everyone from merchants to sailors to pawnbrokers.

No one really knows what St. Nicholas looked like. But in 2005, a forensic laboratory in England reviewed historical data and photographs of the remains taken from St. Nicholas’ grave in the 1950s.

Researchers concluded that he was a small man, perhaps no more than five feet in height, with a broken nose.

This image certainly does not fit with the robust frame and other imagery awarded St. Nicholas in more modern years. St. Nicholas is believed to be the inspiration for Santa Claus, which was a name taken from the Dutch Sinterklaas, a contracted form of Sint Nicolass, or St. Nicholas.

Tales of the real St. Nicholas’ giving spirit were blended with a fictional personification by New York-based newspaper writers who blended the St. Nicholas name with the appearance of a Dutch town citizen. The goal was to reach out to the primarily Dutch immigrants living in New York at the time. This jolly elf image was given a boost by the publication of “A Visit From St. Nicholas,” which was published around the same time.

Eventually, the merry Santa Claus portrayal began to outshine the more accurate St. Nicholas version as a religious man, fostered by political drawings and caricatures that depicted Santa as a chubby sort in a red suit. That image prevails to this day.

Beneath the Christmas symbolism, the beard and the presents associated with Santa Claus lies a tale of generosity that originated with St. Nicholas.

What’s in store for our suburban market in 2015?

T

he holidays can get expensive, especially if you have a large list of family and friends to shop for, or if you are planning to host a party or two. There are some ways, however, that you can save money this year and potentially make your planning for the season a bit easier as well.

%

Be sure to start early so you can take advantage of as many money-saving opportunities as possible. And while you’re at it, try some of these ideas to keep more money in your pocket:

OFF

* Keep an eye on your email. Click on the promotional emails from your favorite retailers letting you know about special holiday discounts. If you have your shopping list - and gift ideas - already planned out, you can take advantage of these special promotions.

Retail Prices On Selected Merchandise

* With your list in hand, use your computer to compare prices quickly on those items. You can search several stores in a matter of minutes, and also discover coupon codes or cash-back options through Ebates.com, resulting in additional savings. Plus, you don’t need to drive all over town wasting time and gas money!

COUPON

* Thanks to the Internet and shipping, you can shop at almost any store in the nation. Use Ebates to find specialty stores and boutiques all across the country that may offer an item at a cheaper price than if you were to shop at a retail store with a middleman markup. * Take advantage of holiday free-shipping offers, and have those gifts or decorating supplies for your upcoming parties delivered to your home or office - or the recipient’s house. Some stores also will have gift wrapping available for a minimal cost, helping you to save additional time and money on wrapping supplies.

Restaurant reviews

ELMHURST – In the world of foodie indulgence, brunch has become king. Stacks of fluffy pancakes with farmer’s market berries and housemade creme fraiche fill up Instagram profiles. Breakfast foods with a dozen different kinds of artisanal ingredients dot menus across the country.

But sometimes, you don’t want to have to pay $14 for a pair of eggs, some toast and potatoes. That’s an itch that Prairie Café in Elmhurst can scratch.

The place has all the vibes of an old-school diner: the sizzle of a griddle in the back, a giant menu of your basic breakfast food variations and every classic sandwich you could hope for, all under $10.

That comparison extends to the staff, too. I never saw the bottom of my coffee cup, paid for by a jittery remainder of the day. The owner of the cafe remembered me and where I sat across two visits a week apart – and seemingly everyone else who came in – and had the right balance of chatty attentiveness and respect for space.

Interestingly, the middle of the restaurant has a meat counter filled with Boar’s Head products for sale.

On my first visit, I tried the pancake sandwich, made up of three cakes, two eggs and a big slab of ham steak. The ham was appropriately salty, with a nice bit of color added by the griddle. The dish had good texture throughout, and the eggs and pancakes delivered plenty of flavor.

My favorite bites of the meal were when I decided to go full-out “To Kill a Mockingbird” Walter Cunningham, and smother the whole thing in syrup. The sweetness of the syrup, pancakes and ham melded with the pork’s saltiness and eggy savoriness in a way I am not ashamed to admit enjoying.

My second visit featured the lumberjack skillet, which

Cyclones upend Broncos in title game

By DAN SANTAROMITA

dsantaromita@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – Leon Thornton III’s 53-yard touchdown catch gave Montini a fast start, but it was all Sacred Heart-Griffin after that.

The Cyclones beat the Broncos 29-14 in the Class 5A title game Saturday in Champaign.

It is the second straight year Montini (10-4) lost to Sacred Heart-Griffin (14-0) in the state final.

Thornton caught the touchdown from Charles Norgle III with 2:18 left in the first quarter and things looked good for the Broncos. The defense forced two punts and recovered a fumble on the Cyclones’ first three drives. Meanwhile, Montini totaled 125 yards on

“I thought we played a really tough, physical game,” Montini coach Chris Andriano said. “We pushed a really

The kids gave everything that they had. We had a good game plan going in and I thought we had done everything we asked them to do. We’ve continued to do that since Week 8 and these guys were ready. I was proud of their efforts today.”

After the Broncos’ strong start, however, the Cyclones regrouped and scored touchdowns on four straight drives while their defense came up with three more interceptions. SHG took a 12-7 lead on a 1-yard run by Sam Sergent with 16 seconds left in the first half and never looked back.

By the time Montini scored again, on a 4-yard pass from Norgle to Thornton, it was 2914 with 9:37 left in the game.

The Broncos got the ball back later in the game down 15, but a turnover sealed the game.

“They’re a great program and a great football team,” Thornton said. “You always got to have your best game if you’re going to beat a good team like that. I’m positive everybody on Montini gave 110

percent. Today, it just wasn’t enough.”

The trip to the championship game was Montini’s sixth straight state final appearance. The Broncos won the first four in that stretch before the consecutive losses to the Cyclones.

“They’re a special group at Montini,” Andriano said. “We have had six special groups in a row with getting to state championship games so this group is no different. It’s a great group of seniors with great leadership. We’re going to remember this. We’re not going to remember it the way we want to remember it, but we’re going to remember this and we’re going to remember the adversity and the challenges to get here.”

Tradition holds for Broncos SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

CHAMPAIGN – In what has become something of a tradition, Montini’s football team spent the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend at Memorial Stadium on the University of Illinois campus.

The Broncos appearance in the Class 5A title game didn’t go as hoped as they lost to Sacred Heart-Griffin for the second year in a row, yet by appearing the championship game for a sixth straight season, Montini cemented itself as one of the premier football programs in the state.

With their appearance in this year’s state championship game, the Broncos inched closer to matching Driscoll’s seven straight title game ap- Montini’s Prince Walker fights for extra yards Saturday against Sacred Heart-Griffin’s defense. pearances from 2001 to 2007.

the two weeks leading up [to the season], it is basically four straight months of everyday football. It’s a lot of time and effort, but if you want to be great, you have to put in the extra work.”

As far as this particular group of Broncos, the 2014 team had to get over a handful of hurdles before collecting the Class 5A runner-up trophy.

“We had to overcome a lot of obstacles this season,” the coach said. “Losing to Maine South in Week 1, giving up three touchdowns at the end, that’s hard to come back from.

We beat a tough East St. Louis team in Week 2 and then got physically beat by St. Rita.

“We were behind De La Salle at half [in Week 4] and then lost to St. Francis in Week 7.

We had to bounce back from that. We showed a lot of resiliency and toughness. That’s what I love most about these guys, their mental approach.”

CHAMPAIGN – After coaching in an IHSA-record sixth straight state championship game Saturday, Montini’s Chris Andriano was asked if he would return next fall for his 37th season at the helm.

“I’m back,” Andriano said.

“I hope our team comes back.

We have a good junior class and a good group of sophomores. It is never that easy to get here. You get that far, you have done something special.”

When told he was the first coach in Illinois to coach in six consecutive finals, he quickly deflected the credit.

“I couldn’t be here without my coaching staff and players,” Andriano said. “You don’t get this far without having good people around you.

You have to have talent, you have to have kids who work hard and you have to have kids who love the game. It’s certainly not just the head coach.”

Andriano went on to say the feeling of reaching the title game and being on the field at Memorial Stadium never gets old.

“It is such a great experience,” he said. “You work so hard in the offseason and work so hard in the summer.

BOYS BASKETBALL PREVIEWS

East returns four starters, soph. boosts Willowbrook

By DAN SANTAROMITA

dsantaromita@shawmedia.com The boys basketball season has already tipped off as teams competed in Thanksgiving tournaments. Here’s the early recap and outlook for Glenbard East, Montini and Willowbrook this season.

Glenbard East Rams

Coach: Scott Miller Conference: Upstate Eight Valley 2013-14 record: 5-22 (1-13 DuPage Valley Conference) Top returners Name Mike Finley Jack Grigat Terrance Lakes Patrick Peterkin

Year so. jr. jr. jr.

Position G G G F

Promising newcomers Name Year Position Bryce Roberts sr. F Zach Walsh jr.

F Outlook: The Rams have four returning starters back from a young team that suffered its fair share of growing pains last year.

Juniors Jack Grigat, Terrance Lakes and Patrick Peterkin and sophomore Mike Finley are back with another year of experience, which is the biggest difference for the team this season. With leading scorer JaRon Hall having graduated, the team should be more balanced offensively.

“We’re just a year older,” coach Scott Miller said. “[Balanced scoring] is kind of the way we’re going to be. We got some kids who can put it in the basket, but for the most part we’re going to spread it out and play some team basketball.”

East opened with a 2-1 showing at the District 87 Tournament, beating Glenbard North 56-40 and Glenbard South 52-32, but losing against host Glenbard West 56-33. The Rams then lost against Hinsdale Central 60-44 in a tournament crossover game.

After struggling for wins last year, the Rams are off to a more competitive start this season, which is refreshing for some of the returning players.

Montini Broncos

Coach: Brian Opoka Conference: Suburban Christian 2013-14 record: 12-16 (5-5 SCC Gold)

Top returners Name Kevin Brachmann “It feels real good, especial- Michael Mooney ly after last year,” Grigat said. Sam Thomas

“We’re a lot tighter. We’re athletic so we can get up and down the floor more. On offense and defense we like to push the ball and run.”

The Rams are moving to the Upstate Eight Valley this season, where old DuPage Valley Conference rival West Aurora still appears to be one of the favorites.

“We think it’s a tougher conference, but we think we have a shot,” Grigat said. “We think we can shock some people, so we’ll see.”

Year sr. sr. sr.

Position F/C G G

Promising newcomers Name Year Position Kevin Bodee jr.

F Marvin Edwards III sr. G Outlook: The Broncos had a mostly younger roster last year and are hoping the extra experience helps them this season.

Kevin Brachmann takes over as the primary player in the paint for his graduated brother Matt. Kevin Brachmann, 6-foot-5, was up as a sophomore in a reserve role. Senior

guards Michael Mooney and Sam Thomas will play a big role in dictating the team’s offense and providing leadership.

Returning frontcourt players Neil Orr, Nicolas Mailk and newcomer Kevin Bodee should add support for Brachmann inside. Montini opened the season with an 81-36 loss against Aurora Central Catholic on Wednesday.

Willowbrook Warriors

Coach: Chris Perkins Conference: West Suburban Gold 2013-14 record: 2-25 (0-12 WSG) Top returners Name Chris Roycroft Kyle Rushing

Year Position sr. F sr. F

Promising newcomers Name Year Position Freddie Clay so. G Alonzo Verge Jr. so. G

Outlook: The Warriors have already surpassed last year’s win total with a 3-1 showing at the Stagg tournament.

Willowbrook knocked off Nazareth 47-40, Lindblom 67-60 and Stagg 68-66 before losing 58-57 against St. Laurence in the final.

Talented sophomore guard Alonzo Verge Jr. is new to the varsity team and a big reason for the early improvement.

Verge, whose father was an all-state pick at Proviso West in 1988, is rated among the best sophomores in the state and scored 28 points in the loss against St. Laurence.

A pair of big men, standout football wide receiver Kyle Rushing (6-foot-6) and fellow varsity returner Chris Roycroft (also 6-foot-6), should keep the Warriors competitive inside.
