Ice cream lovers stress small business value

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ADDISON – While Small Business Saturday shoppers weren’t prevalent on Addison streets Saturday, one couple valued the role small businesses play in the community.

Husband and wife Dan and Carole Ferrill found a seat at one of their old haunts, Uncle Harry’s Ice Cream and Coffee at 48 W. Lake St. to enjoy a treat. “[It’s] definitely not too cold for ice cream,” said Dan with a cone of Bordeaux Cherry ice cream in hand on the mild

winter afternoon.

The shop’s owner, Leif Nelson, has been serving ice cream in Addison for 16 years and knows the value of loyal customers to a small business.

“Most of our employees are from this area,” Nelson said. “Everything we do kind of stays in this area.”

Carole Ferrill who grew up in the neighborhood thinks its important to remember to shop locally.

“It helps the community,” she said.

Her husband expressed appreciation for more than the ice cream. He said small businesses have more to offer than corpo-

rate chains in some aspects.

“I think that there’s a uniqueness to small businesses,” he said.

Nelson credited that uniqueness to his flexibility as an owner with complete control and responsibility for his store.

“I don’t have a board of directors or shareholders to report to,” Nelson said.

Even though the Ferrills were his only customers in the shop around 1 p.m. that day, Nelson enjoys his location and patrons. They’ve kept him in Addison for more than a decade. “[It’s] just a great community to do business in,” Nelson said.

WOOD DALE – Ten years ago Sensei Michael Pearce took his first karate class through Northeast DuPage Special Recreation Association (NEDSRA).

Last month he earned his black belt.

“We’ve been practicing blocks, kicks, punches and other stuff,” said Pearce, 35, about preparing for his black belt test Nov. 16.

In humble fashion, Pearce didn’t brag much about his accomplishment, but the side smile on his face said it all.

Dressed in his gi and black belt, Pearce demonstrated some of his karate skills with NEDSRA Recreation Coordinator Paul Fasano a few weeks after the big day.

NEDSRA, located in Addison, works with area park districts and municipalities to provide recreational opportunities and community services to individuals with disabilities.

Pearce’s training at Sensei Steve’s Karate Center in Villa Park focused on defensive moves and stances. Under Sensei Larry Elmore, Pearce and fellow NEDSRA participant Yvonne Blais of Villa Park received their first-degree black belts after an hourlong test of their skills and knowledge. With his black belt, Pearce is now a sensei.

A third NEDSRA karate participant, James Woods, 65, of Villa Park, earned his second-degree, or nidan, black belt the same day.

While the karate center does not usually allow spectators for testing, Nov. 16 was different. Pearce was lucky enough to have family and

friends around to support him, and they all celebrated the participants’ success with a cake cut by a samurai sword.

“They were excited,” Pearce said about his family and friends who watched him earn his black belt.

Blais’ mother, Sue Martellotta, Administrative Services Manager at NEDSRA, explained that the black belt test consisted of not only physical tests, but questions that each participant need to answer in English and sometimes Japanese about the history of karate.

“I was so incredibly proud,” Martellotta said.

Pearce grew up with two older sisters and two younger sisters. When the four girls began dating and going to parties, Pearce found his place in sports. A loyal Cubs fan, Pearce loves to watch baseball. The sports fan plays everything from bocce ball to track and field.

When he isn’t playing or watching sports, Pearce works at Jewel-Osco collecting carts, a job he’s held for 10 years.

In addition to the skills he’s mastered like the double push down and crane pose, Pearce said he’s learned other life skills like confidence and respect through Sensei Elmore’s instruction.

Even though he loves other sports, Pearce is committed to developing his karate skills. As one of the first NEDSRA participants, Pearce doesn’t see his black belt as the end of his karate journey. He plans to pursue his second-degree black belt next when the weekly karate classes begin again in January.

Local officials react after pension bill approved

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com Officials aren’t certain of what impact the pension reform bill approved by Illinois lawmakers Tuesday will have in Elmhurst.

The bill affects four different pension funds including teachers, universities, state employees and the General Assembly.

The more than 300-page bill provides $160 billion in savings over the next 30 years in an attempt to fix what is considered the worst public pension problem in the nation.

The bill passed 62-53 in the

House and 30-24 in the Senate. Gov. Pat Quinn has said he will sign it.

“This landmark legislation is a bipartisan solution that squarely addresses the most difficult fiscal issue Illinois has ever confronted,” Quinn said in a statement.

The bill raises the retirement age for current workers 45 and younger, on a sliding scale, and, workers will contribute 1 percent less to the plan.

The Illinois Federation of Teachers (IFT) plans to join other union partners in an “aggressive challenge” to the bill in court, according to a statement written by IFT

President Dan Montgomery on the group’s website.

State Sen. Kirk Dillard, R-Hinsdale, voted against the bill.

He cited questions about the constitutionality of the proposal and concerns about the lack of public vetting of the legislation.

“I don’t believe this bill can survive a court challenge,” said Dillard, who is running for governor of Illinois in 2014. “It just doesn’t meet the constitutional standards for consideration that I believe it must have in order to hold up in court.”

Elmhurst Teachers’ Council President Katy Padberg

questioned the bill’s timing.

“I think the process of this bill getting pushed through the General Assembly directly after the Thanksgiving holidays was no accident,” Padberg said in an email.

Dave Pruneau, Community School District 205 superintendent, said the bill did not affect the district much in the short term since it does not push pension costs onto individual school districts as has been considered.

He did say that in the long term, the district budget could be affected by the higher retirement age. If teachers work longer before retiring, it could cost the district more

because they will be paying teachers near retirement a higher salary for an extended period before replacing that teacher with a younger, lower-paid teacher.

Pruneau anticipates it could be a year or so before a final ruling is made and the full impact of the bill is felt.

“I think we’re a long way away from knowing the impact of this legislation,” Pruneau said. “We’re not going to know...until the courts decide,” Pruneau said.

Elmhurst Director of Finance Marilyn Gaston said Wednesday she could not yet comment on how the bill will affect city employees.

AN OUTSIDE CHANCE Because myopia (nearsightedness) is much more common now than it was four decades ago, researchers have tried to find possible reasons. Among the most plausible findings came from an analysis of eight carefully selected studies on the association between time spent outdoors and myopia among children and adolescents. After analyzing the behavior and degree of nearsightedness among more than 10,400 youngsters, researchers concluded that the chance of being nearsighted fell by approximately two percent for each additional hour spent outdoors per week. Playing outdoors allows children to focus on distant objects rather than playing with iPads, watching TV, playing video games, and doing near work, which may also play a role in nearsightedness development.

If you are nearsighted, you typically will have difficulty reading road signs and seeing distant objects clearly, but will be able to see well for close tasks such as reading and computer use. Other signs and symptoms of myopia include squinting, eye strain, and headaches.

LOMBARD – From across town to across the globe, giving the gift of flowers is a practice that transcends cultures, believes Jim Phillip, chairman and CIO of Phillip’s Flowers & Gifts. “[Whether] happy or sad, people use flowers as a way to connect to all the special occasions in life.”

The business – now in its fourth generation of family ownership – turns 90 years old this year. What started from a humble beginning below an apartment in Cicero has grown into a national brand, with eight traditional flower shops and three design centers spread out across Chicago and the western suburbs.

The company’s Lombard shop, 1110 S. Main St., reaches its own milestone this year– celebrating 20 years in business.

Chris Neely, manager of the Lombard store and a village resident, said the business has many loyal customers, who keep coming back for one simple reason.

“Because we do a good job,” Neely said with a laugh. “We try to make everyone happy.”

The Phillip’s brand began in 1923, when founders James and Helen Phillip opened the first flower shop below the Cicero

apartment where they raised their three children, J.R., Loreley “Lee” and Russell.

From an early age, the children developed a strong work ethic helping their parents with odd jobs in the shop. The philosophy of hard work and family togetherness is something that has permeated down through each generation.

Jim Phillip fondly remembers working as a child next to his grandfather in the La Grange Park shop, the second location that opened in 1952.

“I was working weekends, holidays and summers with him,” he said. “I remember being impressed watching how he put together flower arrangements – he was a true craftsman.”

Just as Jim remembers his grandfather, Jim’s son, James, a fourth generation Phillip and current manager of the Wheaton location, said he recalls helping his grandfather, J.R. “He was very diligent and detail-oriented,” James Phillip said. “I remember he would go around and he would leave little notes of things I should work on for the day.”

The business opened its third location in Oak Brook in 1961, but it wasn’t until the 1970s that the company really

James R Rakow Road

Two blocks north of Rakow on Pingree

store, Cottage Hill Diamonds, Collin Hill has more knowledge of jewelry and diamonds than most 26-year-old men and probably a fair number of women.

Recently, Hill flipped the tables on himself, and instead of helping someone’s nervous boyfriend pick out an engagement ring, Hill found himself handpicking an engagement diamond for his fiancee in Antwerp, Belgium.

“An engagement ring for a guy is one of the probably hardest purchases he has to make in his lifetime,” said Collin’s older brother, Drew, 31, who also works at Cottage Hill.

The store’s owner – their father, Kurt Hill – handpicks diamonds in the states but has begun an annual trip to Antwerp as well. He brought Drew with him last year. This year was Collin’s turn.

Collin knew he might have to wait a couple years before returning to Antwerp so he decided to take full advantage of the opportunity.

“I had fun picking it out,” Collin said of the diamond he chose and set in a Kirk Kara ring for his fiancee, Megan Hane.

The two met on Sept. 9, 2011 (9/10/11) so Collin decided to propose Nov. 12 (11/12/13). He snapped the engagement ring on the onesie of their 3-monthold son, Shaw. And, yes, Shaw is named after Andrew Shaw of the Chicago Blackhawks.

When Megan went to change the baby, Collin followed her. She thought something might be up. In fact, her birthday was just a few days earlier. So she suspected Collin might surprise her with a birthday present.

Instead, he got down on one knee next to her as she discovered the diamond ring.

“She was very surprised,” Collin said.

Those life-changing events make the job special, Kurt Hill said. Drew agrees.

“It’s just a pleasurable experience all around because a lot of times people really are marking huge occasions in their lives or turning points in their lives,” Drew said.

From the young couples who return to the store to take wedding photos to those who come in looking for a special piece of jewelry to mark an anniversary or families looking to restore an heirloom, Kurt often builds ongoing relationships with his customers.

“We’ve had a few start crying in the showroom,” said Kurt. “We’re in a business where it’s very sentimental.”

Kurt enjoys listening to the stories customers share about family watches or rings they want restored. He remembers shipping a Timex watch with strong sentimental value to Germany after the store rebuilt it for a customer.

A life-long resident of Elmhurst, Kurt named the store after what Elmhurst was originally called, Cottage Hill.

He values the story of how things came to be whether it’s the origin of a beloved piece of jewelry or the love stories he is often lucky enough to hear at work.

“I think the history is kind of cool because there’s so much history in this town that ties people together,” Kurt said.

“A lot of people come back and some people never leave.”

By MATTHEW PIECHALAK The general managers of a new sports bar along North Avenue have a big dream of offering a little something for everyone. Crazy Pour, 105 E. North Ave. in Villa Park is an upscale sports bar specializing in craft beer and whiskey. But according to Tiziano “Tiz” Savino, one of three consulting partners, there’s a lot more to the 15,000 square-foot, brown brick building than local brews and fine spirits.

“We’re offering something different around here,” Savino said.

The establishment is a bar, a restaurant, a lounge and a club, as well as an Arlington Park designated off-track betting (OTB) facility. Additionally, the building offers a video gaming room and boasts sizable private rooms for events, parties and conferences, Savino said.

But it all begins with the food and drink, something that’s sure to be common ground among all patrons – from sports fanatics to families to the seasoned gamblers placing bets inside the OTB. Categorized as “upscale bar food,” the menu from Chef Enrique Garcia, a mainstay at the former restaurant, Giannotti’s, includes gourmet burgers, pizzas, pastas and fish tacos.

“Now people can go to a sports bar and have a nice meal – and drink a beer.”

The bar f eatures roughly 50 craft beers on draft, including offerings from local brewers like Church Street (Itasca) and Small Town (Wauconda). There are currently 68 types of whiskey available, with dozens more on the way.

Between 1972 and 1986, four more locations where opened, in Hinsdale, Downers Grove, Elmhurst and Westmont.

“The population has grown west, and we’ve grown with it,” said Baxter Phillip, executive vice president and a third generation member of the family.

Today, there are eight family members in management positions with the company, which has more than 100 designers and a total of roughly 250 employees, Baxter said.

Every day, the company prepares about 500 arrangements for delivery in roughly 150 suburbs, sends its plants, flowers and gift baskets to places around the world and also has a green plant interior landscaping division in Westmont that assembles plant and holiday displays for both private homes and commercial businesses.

Despite additional competition that has surfaced with online flower retailers, Jim Phillip is confident that the future is bright for the business.

Report: Whole Foods could purchase Elmhurst Dominick’s ELMHURST – Mayor Steve Morley addressed speculation about what will replace the Elmhurst Dominick’s at 215 S. Route 83 during Monday’s City Council Meeting.

“I’ve been getting this question a lot and I don’t have an official answer,” Morley said.

He referenced a media report that listed the Elmhurst location as one of seven Dominick’s stores in which Whole Foods may be interested. Still, the city has not confirmed Whole Foods wants to buy the store.

Mariano’s parent company,

Roundy’s Supermarkets Inc., announced Monday its plan to convert 11 Chicago area Dominick’s locations. The Elmhurst location was not one of the stores included in the deal, according to a media report.

Despite speculation, the fate of the Route 83 Dominick’s has yet to be determined. That doesn’t stop everyone from asking, though.

“There’s been no official confirmation of [a Whole Foods purchase], but I’ve been getting this call two or three times a day for the past two weeks,” Morley said.

The restaurant features a burger with six patties, french bread on the top and bottom and a large order of fries.

There’s no time limit to complete the food eating challenge.

“You can sit here for an hour and a half if you want to,” he said. “Some people finish it and go back to work and I’ve never been able to figure that out.”

Stratton will celebrate his one-year anniversary owning the restaurant on Nov. 28. So far, he said he’s been “thrilled” operating in the town he loves

as he sees a wide range of customers every day, from business folk to college kids.

“The thing I’ve noticed most is everyone is just so friendly,” he said.

And that’s what Stratton said separates Tom’s Grill from other restaurants – the atmosphere. He said there’s a feeling of warmth and a welcoming attitude every time the doors at 1214 S. Highland Ave. open.

“I think people just know that it’s comfortable and friendly,” he said. “A lot of people don’t realize you can sit in here. When I used to see it before I thought about buying a place, I thought a lot of places like this were just a counter.”

LOMBARD – Before buying Tom’s Grill in Lombard, John Stratton was on his fifth layoff from the computer industry that left him facing a metaphorical fork in the road.

“I was thinking I’m 49, and I thought this is the time where either I go back into computers and hope I work for another three to six months, or look for something that I’ve wanted to do for many years,” Stratton said.

That’s when the longtime Lombard resident decided to go into the restaurant business and chose a location that’s only 1.5 miles from his home.

8LETTERS Women Voters support immigration reform

Write to us

To the Editor, As presidents of local Leagues of Women Voters in Illinois, we are writing in support of comprehensive immigration reform that includes a pathway to citizenship.

The time for this reform is now.

What does immigration reform include?

• A path to citizenship for undocumented persons • A program to reunite families • A plan to meet the economic business and employment needs of the U.S. • Safeguards to deter illegal immigration • The provision of due process for all persons including the right to a fair hearing.

The debate over comprehensive immigration reform is now in the U.S. House of Representatives. After vigorous argument from both sides of the aisle, the Senate passed S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, on a strong bipartisan vote in June. The Senate bill may not be perfect, but that should not keep us from

moving forward in the House to reform our broken immigration system.

The League of Women Voters was founded upon the belief that our democracy is enhanced by a diversity of voices. Immigrants have helped weave the fabric and identity of our nation from its beginning. It’s time to help those living in the shadows to become a part of our great nation. We believe that comprehensive immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship will strengthen our nation and society.

REASON FOR REDHEAD’S RAISED MELANOMA RISK While all people with fair skin have traditionally been advised to limit their sun exposure, redheads have been warned about a particularly high susceptibility to skin cancer related to exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light rays. Now, researchers say they know why redheads are up to 100 times more vulnerable to melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. According to laboratory research, there is a particular gene mutation (the MC1R-RHC gene variant) that colors red hair and lowers a cell’s guard against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. As a result, redheads are inherently at higher risk for developing melanoma. If there is a

Renovate for efficiency More than 90 percent of the 116 million homes in the United States are expected to have higher heating expenditures this winter compared with last winter, mainly because of changes in energy prices, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Here are some tips for making your home run more efficiently: Change your furnace filter: A dirty filter can restrict airflow and increase energy use in your home. Keeping your furnace clean, updated and properly adjusted can save about 5 percent on heating costs.

Replace old windows: Ten to 25 percent of your heating bill each month can often be attributed to heat lost through your home’s windows, according to energy.gov.

Replace old windows with more energyefficient ones so your heating system doesn’t have to work as hard to manage your home’s desired temperature.

Look for energy efficiency: Choosing Energy Star products, which incorporate technologies that use 10 to 15 percent less energy and water than standard models, could save nearly $900 over the lifetime of the products.

Makeover heats up Fireplace is focal point of master bedroom

By Candice Olson Scripps Howard news Service

S

ue and Shouvik are a busy young couple with full-time jobs, a 2-yearold son, and a newborn baby. Life is hectic, and these two need a place to escape the daily hustle and bustle. But, although their master bedroom is huge, they struggle with trying to lay out their furniture in this oddly shaped room.

Sue is a shopaholic and Shouvik is a hoarder, so the walk-in closet is bursting at the seams with clothing, shoes and accessories. To compensate, they’ve added various cabinets throughout the space to address the lack of storage. They’re desperate for a design that is functional yet luxurious, pulling together all of the room’s elements into one designer look. At the end of the day, Sue and Shouvik are looking for an adult retreat that is reminiscent of a boutique hotel suite.

To begin, we upgraded their queen bed to a king-size bed, perfect for family time on Sunday mornings. We repositioned the bed to another wall, and flanked it with

mirrored panels lit up by modern wall sconces. A custom-made headboard covered with a rich, silvery patterned fabric contrasts sharply with the far wall, which was painted black and draped in dark, wall-to-wall sheers. The ebony fabric makes the wall recede, and a three-piece triptych photo of the Brooklyn Bridge at night is attached to hidden brackets, making it appear to “float” against the gauzy backdrop.

The most eye-catching piece in this master bedroom makeover is a unique ethanol fireplace, encased in a white dresser that is opposite the foot of the bed. The cleanburning ethanol flames add romance and warmth to this bedroom retreat, with the added bonus of more attached storage.

Part of the problem with Sue and Shouvik’s old bedroom was a lack of storage. To fix this, I decided to create an open concept dressing room with an island to hold jewelry, socks, ties and laundry hampers. The custom marble-topped island is the hardest-working piece in this bedroom, with not only gorgeous form but tons of function, too.

Additional wardrobe storage is found

around the island, with all cabinet handles and hardware boasting a tiny bit of bling for added elegance. In front of the bay window, we improved the existing window seat with a new custom bench seat cushion, and accessorized it with pillows that picked up our color scheme: ebony, white and gray.

An elegant chandelier hangs above the island, with table lamps providing additional illumination.

All in all, Sue and Shouvik’s new master bedroom is all that they hoped for: an elegant retreat with the vibe of a boutique hotel and the functionality of providing a place for everything.

The busy young couple now has an adult space to call their own, which is going to become increasingly important as their kids grow up and demand much of their attention. Here, in this elegant and romantic space, it’s all about the two of them.

Restaurant reviews

Sample some 1960s style at Kitchen Eatery ELMHURST – Imagine an upscale 1960s diner, if that’s not a contradiction in terms.

Then add locally sourced, freshly prepared food. Combine with some good friends, and what you’ve got is a terrific meal at Kitchen Eatery.

Located right at the corner of Route 83 and St. Charles Road in Elmhurst, Kitchen Eatery is an oasis of calm at a busy intersection otherwise crowded with retail and banking institutions. With a delightfully colorful sign that you can’t miss, it welcomes hungry guests with a generous helping of ’60s style.

With wide booths, mod furnishings and a clean, well-lit atmosphere, Kitchen Eatery had me excited to sample its offerings on a recent evening, accompanied by two friends.

Once settled into our seats in a comfortable side dining room, I quickly identified that the steak quesadilla was something I had to try. Believe me, I was not disappointed, as the typically simple dish was served with a delectable salsa verde that I was more than happy to consume in its entirety.

Moving on to the main course, I doubled down on red meat by ordering the steak bowl, featuring seasoned grilled skirt steak atop two eggs (cooked any way you like; I opted for scrambled) and KE potatoes mixed with melted jack cheese, onions, bell peppers and mushrooms.

It was like a perfect dream of what breakfast every day would taste like if our arteries (and wallets) could sustain such a thing.

One of my friends opted for the grilled Scottish salmon, which comes with the vegetable of the day and herb-roasted potatoes. She asked if she could substitute french fries, and they were happy to oblige.

As someone who frequently orders fish, she’s not easy to please, but was more than satisfied with the filet here.

The other companion went for the steak salad, which tops a mix of arugula, roasted

The retro vibe of Kitchen Eatery’s logo is a perfect match for what you get inside – a kind of classy, 1960s diner feel, but much higher quality food than you’d expect from a typical diner.

Among the items we didn’t sample are a terrific-sounding selection of sandwich options, including a corned beef sandwich and the “Francheeze,” which the menu describes as a “jumbo all beef hot dog stuffed

BOSE

Bose Soundlink Mini

T

$199 Sleek, compact and the best sound in its class, the ultra-compact wireless Bose Soundlink Mini will appeal to almost anyone on your list. This palm-sized speaker is easy to use with simple, clearly labeled buttons and includes a bundled charging cradle you can leave plugged in. It remembers up to six devices, so you’ll only need to sync each one once. bose.com

Martian G2G smartwatch $249 With a retro look and an eye on the future, the Martian G2G is an analog watch with voice command technology. Once connected to Bluetooth, the G2G is a hands-free speakerphone that can display incoming text messages and emails with the tap of a button. The slightly rectangular G2G comes with colored faces and matching silicone bands, and black and white models that all look more stylish than geeky. martianwatches. com

3Doodler

Justick Desktop

$75 The size of a fat Cuban cigar, the 3Doodler is a handheld 3-D printer that works just like a regular pen — a pen that can draw 3-D objects. unlike other 3-D printers, the 3Doodler is price-point friendly at $75. Quite simple, but pretty brilliant, the 3Doodler is sort of like a hot glue gun with the ability to print a fine line of plastic.

Available for pre-order with shipment in February. the3doodler.com

$49.95 It’s a high-tech solution to a low-tech problem: Justick is the next generation’s bulletin, display and white board that will simplify work with electrostatic force. No pins, glue, magnets or tape required; just pop in some AA batteries and the electricity flowing through the surface attracts all kinds of paper, CDs and other objects. justick.com

Recon Jet

DOODlER

$599 While everyone’s talking about Google Glass electronic eyewear, a less-expensive alternative exists. The Recon Jet, a heads-up display specifically designed for athletes, puts the display lens at the lower part of the wearer’s vision rather than the top. The Jet features smartphone pairing with iphone and Android plus GpS, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, thermometer, altimeter and barometer for a ton of information that can also be paired with wireless sensors to monitor heart rate and cadence. However, this won’t be a Christmas-morning gift: A limited quantity is available first-come, first-served, with orders shipping in Feburary. jet.reconinstruments.com

(BPT) - Guys can be the hardest people to shop for, and finding the perfect gift has become a daunting holiday tradition. Sure, they will appreciate the thought behind another bundle of tube socks - and might even wear them - but there are gifts that bring a wow factor and make even the most stoic guys light up like a little kid.

Give tools for do-it-yourself projects You may not know every project the DIYer in your life is working on, so choose a multi-purpose tool. Tools like the Klutch Cordless Impact Wrench from Northern Tool + Equipment are the perfect partner for all those auto, construction or equipment maintenance projects.

This 24-volt, cordless wrench delivers heavy torque and includes four different sockets assuring he has the right piece for any job.

Fill his garage or man cave Every guy has a little space in the home he likes to call his own.

For some it’s the garage, for others it’s the man cave in the house, and for others maybe the garage is his man cave. Wherever he chooses to relax, he might enjoy a personalized beer pitcher or an under-the-counter fridge. His garage will also look great with a new toolbox or shop stool.

Find the unexpected Finding a gift he might get from a buddy will be a pleasant surprise for him. The Harley-Davidson 7-Liter Pilsner Glass from Kotula’s will turn heads and create a lot of laughs.

This giant beer glass can hold up to about 18 cans of his favorite beer and will make a big statement.

If you use these shopping tips for the guys in your life, you won’t even need to check your holiday list twice. With a good plan in mind, you’ll find options he will enjoy and actually use.

Christmas Day has become a big day in the movie business. Many studios now release big-budget films on December 25th, and audiences have recently flocked to the theaters to see some of their favorite stars in films that opened on Christmas Day or shortly before. According to Box Office Mojo, an online movie publication and box office reporting service, no film has fared better on Christmas Day than “Sherlock Holmes,” which premiered on December 25, 2009, earning just under $25 million in its initial day onscreen. “Avatar,” the 2009 James Cameron film that would go on to gross $760 million in domestic receipts alone, holds the distinction of earning the second most money on Christmas Day, when it earned a little more than $23 million despite having already been out in the theaters one full week. The 2004 Ben Stiller film “Meet the Fockers” opened three days before Christmas but still managed to earn $19.5 million on Christmas Day. A pair of 2012 films, the latest big screen adaptation of “Les Miserables” ($18 million) and Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” ($15 million), round out the top five highest grossing films on Christmas Day. Numerous films are slated to open on December 25, 2013, including Stiller’s “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” and “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit,” starring Chris Pine and Kevin Costner.

Celebrate the joy of baking with holiday gifts inspired by “The Boss”

Cake Boss Covered Cookie Pan

Cake Boss Linzer Cookie Set

Cake Boss Winter Cake Kit

Cake Boss Professional Jelly Roll Pan

Cake Boss Holiday Cookie Jar

Cake Boss Cake Carrier

(MS) -- The holidays are a perfect time to indulge in treats and spread the joy of baking with gifts that encourage friends and family to discover their inner baker. This season, there’s more to choose from in the baking category with the launch of Cake Boss, an extensive line of more than 200 “Buddy approved” baking items designed in collaboration with Buddy Valastro, the star of TLC’s hit reality show, “Cake Boss.” Offered

by Meyer Corporation, U.S. in partnership with Discovery Communications, Cake Boss covers all the bases for baking, decorating, serving, and storing cakes and other desserts like a pro.

Here’s a “baker’s dozen” list of gift ideas and creative ways to be sweet on anyone who’s been extra good this year.

Gifts For the Artistic Baker: For avid bakers who enjoy expressing their creativity through baking, a gift of a Cake Boss Cake Kit ($29.99) includes everything needed to bake like the pros. Ideal for the holiday season, the Cake Boss Winter Cake Kit includes five stainless steel cutters (two holiday bulbs, a small circle, one tree and one reindeer), and five plastic plunge cutters (two holly leaves and three snowflakes) to create fun shapes in rolled fondant. A ribbon cutter helps cut fluted or straight decorative strips in fondant or gum paste, and stainless steel decorating tips in star and round shapes (combined with the kit’s disposable plastic piping bags) make it easy as pie to pipe borders and create icing designs. An instructional booklet is included to guide bakers each step of the way.

For Serious Cooks and Bakers: Professional quality bakeware does double duty for baking up delicious, savory recipes, as well as sweets. The Cake Boss Professional 13x18-inch Jelly Roll Pan ($17.99) holds up to the rigors of frequent use with heavy-duty aluminized steel, commercial-style folded construction, and reinforced wire rims. Ideal for baking flaky pastry appetizers, as well as roasts of all kinds, the Cake Boss Professional Jelly Roll Pan distributes heat fast and evenly, and won’t warp or bend. A unique quilted, light-colored nonstick surface promotes even airflow for pro-style results.

Family Friendly Gifts: Buying individual presents for each member of a family with children of different ages can end up being costly and time consuming. A family group gift is a practical solution that also can encourage spending time together. One idea is to put together a “Cookie and a Movie Night” gift package with a few innovative tools for baking cookies, your own favorite cookie recipe, a decadent hot chocolate mix, and a DVD for a classic family-friendly movie. For the cookie baking tools, the Cake Boss Linzer Cutters 6-Piece Set ($16.99) in “Classic” and “Holiday” styles make it fun to customize these scrumptious sandwich cookies.

The Cake Boss Beechwood Rolling Pin ($29.99) has just the right weight and size to roll out cookie dough with ease, and a wide assortment of Cake Boss Cookie & Fondant Cutters ($16.99) in fun shapes like Stars, Hearts, Daisies, Round and Square provide multiple ways to make cookies in varying sizes.

Cookies To-Go: Cookie exchange parties are a great way to get in the holiday spirit and sample some new recipes. Surprise the host by pairing your cookies with a gift of the Cake Boss Deluxe 10x15-inch Covered Cookie Pan ($16.99). Bake the cookies and transport them right in this innovatively designed pan. Helpful drop zones stamped on the surface ensure uniform-

ly sized cookies. Long-lasting nonstick on both the interior and exterior surfaces prevent cookies from sticking and speeds up cleaning time. Finally, wide handles with red silicone grips in fun rolling pin shapes, and a translucent, tight-locking cover, make this cookie pan perfect for transporting baked treats to and from get-togethers.

Teacher Treats: If you have school age children, don’t forget a special treat for their teachers. Sculpted in glossy ceramic to resemble a bow-wrapped gift, the colorful pink and brown Cake Boss “Present” Cookie Jar and the seasonally themed red and green Cake Boss “Holiday” Cookie Jar ($39.99 each) are sure to impress, especially when you include home-baked cookies inside. Print your recipe on a pretty card and add to the cookie jar to be sure it never goes empty!

Two-for-One Hostess Gifts: Be extra sweet to your holiday party host with a dual gift of both a dessert and the Cake Boss Cake Carrier ($39.99) used to handily transport it. Offered in four retro-inspired styles, each durable and easy-to-clean Cake Boss Cake Carrier is spacious enough to hold a standard 9-inch two-layer round cake, cheesecake, pie, or other treat. The lid latches tightly on both sides of the base to protect delicious treats while they’re in transit and keep tempted fingers away!

For The “Cake Boss” Wannabe: It’s fast and easy to bake intricate looking cakes like “the Boss” with the Cake Boss 6-Cup Cakelette Pan ($16.99). Available in five different molded designs -- Star, Heart, Groovy Girl, Circle and Square -- each Cake Boss Cakelette Pan makes six individual portion, tiered mini cakes that look like they came straight out of Carlo’s Bakery.

In addition to gifting, you can use the assorted pan designs to host a mini cake-decorating holiday party.

Guests can decorate their own “cakelette” with icings, sprinkles, colored sugars, and even fondant.

Stocking Stuffers and More Under $15: Affordable prep tools are great additions to a baking enthusiast’s stocking stuffer. They also work well as grab bag gifts and extra special toppers to ribbon wrapped presents.

The set of two Cake Boss Nylon Bowl Scrapers ($8.99), crafted in durable nylon edged with flexible silicone, ensure that every last bit of batter, buttercream, and sauce gets scraped out of bowls. The heat-resistant Cake Boss Scraping Spatula with Measurement Marks ($11.99) features a durable red silicone tool head with a convenient reference chart of measure equivalents for cups, ounces, tablespoons, teaspoons and milliliters. For more whimsy in the kitchen, the Cake Boss “My Kitchen My Rules” Spoonula ($9.99) with flexible red silicone head for mixing, stirring, and spooning, includes one of Buddy’s favorite catchphrases imprinted on it.

Gifts For The Unexpected: It’s a smart idea to keep a few prewrapped gifts on hand when you need a last minute token for a neighbor, friend or host. For example, pair the Cake Boss 4-Piece Measuring Spoons Set ($6.99) with a boxed gourmet mix for scones, and a small bottle of quality vanilla extract. Wrap everything in cellophane with a colorful bow for the perfect last-minute gift.

on the device. But a growing number of child-friendly tablets have entered the market, and such devices are designed to be more durable for children who have a tendency to drop and destroy things.

Those on the fence about whether or not to purchase a tablet for a child can consider these options. * The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids is a tablet that comes with a selection of educational functions, games and e-books. The device allows parents to decide which apps can be accessed on the device and restrict use to certain periods of time. The Galaxy Tab 3 Kids boasts a seven-inch screen and will run Android 4.1 or Jelly Bean. The front and rear facing cameras are considerably lower in quality than Samsung’s previous products, down to 3-megapixels and 1.3-megapixels, respectively. * The VTech InnoTab tailors apps to children in a compact device. The screen is just five inches in size, and the tablet comes packed with interactive e-books, learning games and other creative tools.

It also has a modest price tag for a child’s first foray into the world of tablets. * The LeapFrog Leappad Ultra is a kid’s learning tablet designed for children between the ages of four and nine. It comes with a seven-inch screen, Wi-Fi with kid-safe Web access and the ability to connect to a library of more than 800 educator-approved apps, books and more. * The nabi is an Android tablet that

LETS MAKE YOUR MEAL SPECIAL…

is geared entirely toward kids. The nabi comes in several different incarnations (nabi Jr., nabi 2 and nabi XD) depending on the age of the child and the desired features. In July of 2013, Fushu, Inc., creator of the nabi tablet, was received the “Best Tablet 2013: For Kids” award from Laptop magazine for its nabi 2 device. * The Amazon Kindle Fire is quickly becoming a go-to option for parents interested in acclimating their children to a tablet. Less than half of the price of its biggest competitor, the Kindle Fire still allows kids to access a bevy of features.

Music, movies and Amazon’s ever-growing trove of e-books are just some of the features that make the Kindle Fire a popular choice. * Though small, the iPad mini has all of the features of a larger iPad but in a more kid-friendly size. Many parents prefer the iPad mini for their children because they have Apple products and appreciate being able to share with their kids apps and information among all of the devices.

Determining if a child is ready for a tablet is a difficult decision for parents, who must assess how well the child handles responsibility, toys and electronics in the home. Adults may opt for a more durable, less expensive tablet as an introduction to tablets for children and then gravitate toward more “adult” options as their children prove they can be responsible with the device.

Tablets are poised to grow more popular in the years to come, and many children are anxious to get their very own tablet. But many parents wonder if their kids are ready for a tablet and if such devices would make good gifts for their youngsters this holiday season.

According to a 2012 report from Pew Research, 22 percent of American adults now own some type of tablet, while In-Stat research estimates 65 percent of Americans, or more than 200 million people, will have a smartphone and/or tablet by 2015. According to a Fall 2012 report by the Media Technology Monitor, an estimated 26 percent of the Canadian population has a tablet, more than twice the amount of tablet owners just a year earlier.

As tablets become the device of choice, many different manufacturers have entered the tablet market, and children have begun to ask for tablets for holiday gifts, leaving parents wondering if their children are responsible enough to own a tablet that may cost several hundreds of dollars.

Price-wary parents should realize that tablet prices vary greatly depending

Great gifts for music fans usic remains an art form that evokes strong emotions and holds a special place in many a listener's heart. The nearly universal appeal of music makes it a great gift come the holiday season, when shoppers may not always know what to buy a loved one. The following are a few gift ideas that are sure to have your favorite music fan singing your praises this holiday season. * Concert tickets: Perhaps no gift makes music fans' hearts race more than tickets to see their favorite musicians perform. Your loved one probably has a favorite artist or someone he or she has long desired to see live. Look into that performer's tour dates to see if they are playing your area anytime soon. If they're playing just before the holiday season, don't hesitate to give this gift a little early.

The same approach should be taken if an artist will be in town within a day or two of Christmas or Chanukah. Giving the tickets early enables your loved one the chance to clear his or her schedule. * Musical instrument: It's never too early or too late to learn how to play a new instrument. Shoppers whose loved ones love a good rock-and-roll riff might find guitars make a great holiday gift, while those who can't stop playing air drums should enjoy finding a real drum set come the holidays. When buying guitars, shoppers should learn which hand their loved ones favor.

M

* Music lessons: Lessons are the next logical step once a music fan has the instruments to work with. But even those without an instrument of their own can benefit from music lessons. For example, music lovers who want to learn piano can make use of lessons even if they don't have their own pianos at home. Lessons can be a great way for music lovers to gauge their skill levels before buying an expensive instrument. In addition, lessons can turn music lovers on to new instruments or new types of music they may never have considered previously. * Sound system: Advancements in technology have proven to be music to music lovers' ears. Music fans can now take advantage of crisp sound systems that make music that much more enjoyable. Sound systems come in many shapes and sizes, and they can vary significantly in regard to price. When purchasing a sound system as a holiday gift, look for one that's compatible with your loved one's existing components, such as a television or music player. * Streaming service membership: Unlike the days when music fans had to wait for local deejays to play their favorite songs on the radio, today's music fans can essentially create their own radio stations on their computers and even on their phones. Shoppers can buy their favorite music fans subscriptions to streaming services, such as Pandora or Spotify, and listeners can then tailor their own stations to include their favorite genres, artists or individual songs.

* Local merchants tend to be more knowledgeable about their products.

Large chain stores might have many employees working on the floor or behind the registers, but those employees are not always experts on the products being sold throughout the store. Local merchants tend to have less inventory and fewer employees, who often know a great deal about the products on the shelves. Some employees might even have developed the products being sold, and that knowledge can be put to use when uncertain shoppers are looking for the perfect gift for their loved ones. * Local merchants are more accessible. Arguably the biggest benefit of shopping locally for gifts is the proximity to home. Consumers who buy products from merchants within their community won’t have to travel far to do their shopping, nor will they need to gas up the car if the item needs to be returned or exchanged. Some local merchants may even be within walking distance of home, making a shopping trip even more accessible.

Consumers often find shopping local when buying gifts for family and friends is a great way to obtain more satisfying and reliable customer service.

T

he average adult must shop for gifts for friends or family members several times over the course of a typical year.

Birthdays, holidays and anniversaries are often the driving force behind such excursions, but some people will buy a gift for a loved one even if there is no special occasion attached.

When buying gifts for those we love, many consumers hope to find something unique. But unique items can be hard to find at the local shopping mall, where national chain stores tend to dominate. That reality highlights just one of the many benefits of shopping locally. * Local merchants tend to have more unique merchandise. A national chain store on one side of the country is not much different from its counterpart on the opposite coast. The stores’ layouts are likely identical and so is their inventory. Unlike such corporate giants, local merchants aren’t mass-producing their items, and chances are the items sold by local merchants are one-of-akind. Such items make for more unique gifts that recipients might find more thoughtful than an item they can find at larger chain stores. * Local merchants often provide more satisfying customer service. Larger chains tend to rely on automated systems to handle many of their customer service calls. Some consumers may never even speak to a real person when they call a customer service line, while others may first have to answer several automated questions before finally being connected to a real person. Local merchants tend to handle their own customer service, and consumers who have a concern or question about a product often speak directly with the store’s owner. That sense of direct connection gives consumers some peace of mind and can make them more comfortable when making their purchases.

Staying home for the holidays can save families a significant amount of time during this busy time of year.

Finding time during the holiday season erhaps no time of year is as busy as the holiday season, when social engagements and holiday shopping combine to dominate so much of what is normally our free time. Additionally, holiday travel and late nights spent at work to make up for lost time also cut into our free time, leaving many people in search of ways to add more hours to the day.

Though there’s no way to make a day last longer, there are ways to save some time this holiday season. * Go it alone. Holiday shopping can be very time consuming, but shoppers who decide to shop alone may find themselves more productive and focused on the task at hand.

Rather than going from store to store and checking items off multiple shopping lists, shoppers who shop singularly can devote all of their attention to their own lists. * Shop online. Another way to save time when shopping for the holidays is to shop online. This saves you the time it takes to drive to and from the mall and walk around multiple stores, all the while saving you from the often frustrating and time-consuming experience of finding a parking space. In addition, you can shop online at any time of day. So rather than just eating lunch at your desk on your lunch hour or spending the last hour before you go to bed for the night idling away on the couch, you can make more efficient use of that time by doing some holiday shopping. * Plan ahead. Whether shopping for holiday gifts, taking the family to buy a Christmas tree or organizing a holiday dinner with friends, the more you can plan ahead of the holiday season the less time you will waste once the season hits full swing. For example, when choosing a weekend

P

to go Christmas tree shopping, inform others a few weeks in advance and let them know you want to go early to avoid crowds. This saves you time and might just help you land one of the best trees on the lot.

The same principle of planning can be applied to other aspects of the holiday season as well. Planning a meal early allows you to gradually stock up on menu items, saving you the hassle of rushing to the store at the last minute or planning a menu in the days before the party when you will already have enough on your plate. * Don’t shy away from shortcuts when hosting holiday dinners.

Hosting a holiday dinner is a big undertaking, one that often finds hosts spending a significant amount of time in the kitchen. But hosts can save time by taking some shortcuts regarding the menu. For instance, when hosting an especially large meal, don’t be afraid to buy some premade side dishes from a local grocery store or buy a bakery cake rather than whipping up your own homemade dessert. Guests will understand if you cut some corners in an effort to save some time, and the food will likely be just as delicious. * Stay home. Travel is a big commitment come the holiday season, but what about staying home this season? If the time commitment of traveling is something you truly want to avoid this year, invite some friends and family over to your home instead.

You might be more busy on the day of the holiday, but you will save yourself the travel days you usually build into the holiday season. Parents of young children might prefer to stay home so they can create their own unique holiday memories, while those without children might just appreciate some peace and quiet during this hectic time of year.

MORE BEARS COVERAGE AT HUBARKUSH.COM

Cowboys, Bears going in opposite directions Hub Arkush

The Dallas Cowboys will come calling Monday Night at Soldier Field in front of a national TV audience, traveling a course that could be the exact opposite of where the Bears are heading.

After jumping out to a 3-0 and 4-2 start to the season, the Bears have lost four of their last six, including division games to the Lions and Vikings.

The Cowboys, on the other hand, come in at 7-5 and winners of five of their last seven, including division wins over the Giants, Eagles and Redskins.

While the Bears are running away from the playoffs, the Cowboys just might be running into them.

Dallas has struggled to run the ball all season, ranking just 27th in rushing, but they are 15th in the league in

passing. Tony Romo is second in the league in avoiding interceptions, and the Cowboys are eighth protecting the passer and fourth in scoring, just ahead of the sixth-place Bears.

On defense, the Cowboys have been awful, dead last in the league in yards allowed, 27th vs. the run, 31st vs. the pass and 22nd in points allowed.

Statistically, the Cowboys and Bears have a lot in common.

They also have a lot in common on the defensive line, where each has one of the best players in the game – DeMarcus Ware for the Cowboys and Julius Peppers with the Bears. Beyond those two, both clubs have been devastated by injuries.

Dallas has had 19 different players get reps on their defensive line this season.

One constant for the Cowboys, though, is Romo, who’s taken every snap at quarterback this season and is again playing at a very high level.

Romo has completed 64.8 percent of his 440 attempts for 3,140 yards, 24 touchdowns and only seven interceptions.

herma Tru Doors

His passer rating of 97.3 is eighth in the NFL, oddly right behind Josh McCown, who is seventh at 103.6.

As luck would have it and as badly as the Bears’ run defense needs a break, the Cowboys are coming off their best rushing game of the season, racking up 144 yards on 30 carries Thanksgiving Day against the Raiders.

DeMarco Murray is the bellcow and, in addition to 63 yards on 17 carries against the Raiders, he notched three touchdowns on the ground.

The Cowboys really only have two receivers who scare you, but Jason Witten is a future Hall of Famer at tight end, and at 6-2 and 222 pounds, Dez Bryant is one of the only receivers in the league who can match Brandon Marshall’s production.

Since the beginning of 2011, Bryant has caught 223 passes for 3,206 yards and 30 touchdowns.

Dallas’ offensive line is average at best, but left tackle Tyron Smith is athletic enough to battle Julius Peppers.

Former Northern Illinois Huskie Doug Free, at right tackle, could be too much

for Shea McClellin.

In addition to their struggle to keep defensive linemen healthy, the Cowboys also have been without their second best defensive player, middle linebacker Sean Lee, who’s been out the past three weeks with a hamstring injury. But he plans on returning versus the Bears.

Brandon Carr has been a solid free agency acquisition at one cornerback spot, but Morris Claiborne, who Dallas traded up to draft in the first round last year, is suffering a bit of sophomore slump. Dallas also has really struggled at safety, where J.J. Wilcox and Barry Church are the starters.

Dallas’ special teams are among the league’s best in all categories and most of their special teamers were coached until this year by Bears Special Teams Coach and Assistant Head Coach, Joe Decamillis.

This game has all the makings of a shootout, much like the Cowboys’ 31-30 loss to Detroit five weeks ago, and it’s one the Bears have to have to retain any hope of a trip to the playoffs.

dling teams – the Packers (Mason Crosby) and Ravens (Justin Tucker). Denver, the league’s highest-scoring team, has the league’s fifth-highest scoring kicker in Matt Prater.

The high-flying Saints have the No. 11 kicker in Garrett Hartley.

The same challenge exists in selecting a fantasy defense.

The best defenses aren’t always the best defenses in fantasy. For much of the season, Houston had one of the NFL’s top-ranked defenses, but it ranked dead last in terms of fantasy production.

The Cowboys have one of the

league’s worst defenses – they are ranked No. 31 against the pass – but they are No. 7 in fantasy points.

Are there defenses or kickers on your league’s waiver wire that can help deliver a championship to your team?

Let’s start with kickers.

Blair Walsh, Garrett Hartley and Caleb Sturgis are likely available, but all three face a brutal schedule in the upcoming weeks. Stay away. Adam Vinatieri has lit it up two of the last three weeks. He may not be available, but even if he is, the Colts are at Cincinnati this week and at Kansas City in three weeks. He does have a nice matchup at home against Houston sandwiched in between.

Three likely available kickers have ideal upcoming matchups. Dan Carpenter of Buffalo is at Tampa, at Jacksonville and home against Miami. The Chiefs’ Ryan Succop

is at Washington, at Oakland and home versus Indianapolis. Nick Novak of San Diego is at home versus the Giants, travels to Denver and is at home against the Raiders in week 16.

It might be a bit tougher to find an available defense.

Arizona is available in 56 percent of ESPN leagues.

They have St. Louis at home, travel to Tennessee and then travel to Seattle. The first two games look like nice matchups, but you can’t rely on them in Week 16 in Seattle.

The Cowboys are available in 73 percent of ESPN leagues and have some intriguing matchups. They face the Bears on Monday night.

In Week 15, they have the Packers at home. It’s a great matchup for them if Aaron Rodgers does not play. In Week 16, they face another struggling team when they travel to Washington.

Kickers and defenses have become an afterthought in fantasy football.

There’s good reason for this: Because of most scoring systems, a solid output from your kicker or defense – say, 11 points – would be a disappointment from your starting running back or front-line receiver.

Still, having the right kicker and defense can be the difference between a fantasy championship and an early round playoff exit.

There’s a certain editor of a certain media company (rhymes with “claw”) who can tell you all about the importance of a fantasy defense.

We squared off in 2006 with our league’s championship on the line. Headed into the night game, he held a 30-point advantage. With nothing

but my defense remaining, the game was all but over.

That evening, Rex Grossman delivered several balls to the Green Bay defense … thus delivering a championship to yours truly.

For the most part, picking the right defense and/or kicker is a crapshoot. Some owners use the strategy of playing week-to-week matchups, picking their defense and/or kicker from the waiver wire.

The problem with this strategy – especially as it relates to your defense – is that you are continually selecting the best of the worst.

The conundrum with selecting a kicker is that the highest-scoring offenses don’t always produce the best fantasy kickers. The top-scoring fantasy kickers are Stephen Gostkowski (Patriots) and Steven Hauschka (Seahawks).

OK, that makes sense, but Nos. 3 and 4 are from mid-

ALL-AREA FOOTBALL MVP

Johnson goes from freshman B to sensational senior

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com VILLA PARK – Quarterback is the most mentally demanding position in football.

Not only do the passers need to know their own responsibility, they need to know everyone’s responsibility every play. With that in mind, Brian Johnson’s staggering statistical season at Willowbrook this fall is unusual because the senior is still somewhat new to the sport.

Johnson began his football career as a freshman in high school and played on the freshman B team for the Warriors.

Two years later he had elevated himself to varsity starter.

This fall he passed for 3,291 yards and 31 touchdowns in 10 games.

This season, Johnson was honorable mention all-state in Class 7A, the West Suburban Gold MVP and the Suburban Life all-area MVP. “When we did things right, when we were on, with a guy like that back there it creates problems,” Willowbrook coach Nick Hildreth said. “At the high school level defending the pass is hard enough when you’ve got multiple wideouts, and he can make reads and do all those things.”

Johnson didn’t put up the numbers by himself. He had talented wide receivers Hayden Adams and Devin Childress, who are both 6-foot-2 and reached double digit touchdowns on the season, and quick running back Jeremy Barnes, who had 1,912 rushing and receiving yards combined.

That trio did most of the damage when Johnson threw for a state-record 675 yards against Lyons Township in Sarah Minor file photo - sminor@shawmedia.com Week 2. The Warriors won a Willowbrook’s Brian Johnson looks to pass in a game against Addison Trail this season.

second week was a great game,” Johnson said. “It wasn’t just me. A lot of the guys after the catch were breaking tackles and making runs.”

Despite all of his success this fall, as of last week Johnson said he didn’t yet have any offers from colleges, though he has received interest from various programs.

Hildreth believes his quarterback can play as high as the FCS level in college.

“I’ve been taking calls a bunch lately,” Hildreth said.

“He’s going to be a steal for somebody somewhere.”

The best argument for Johnson’s college future is that he is still is learning the game while playing the most cerebral position.

“His ceiling is so incredibly high moving forward,” Hildreth said. “He’s not done growing. He’s not shaving yet.

There is room for him to grow physically and mentally. He’s just getting better everyday as far as being around the game.”

Since the season ended Johnson has continued to work out. He is focusing on improving his footwork and staying in shape during the winter before playing baseball in the spring.

He plans to go on college visits throughout December, some even with his high school teammates.

“I’m hoping by January or late February that I will know where I’m going,” Johnson said. “I’m looking forward to the higher competition level and getting new teammates.”

Blazers make strides at Thanksgiving tournament

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com WEST CHICAGO – It was a wacky opening week for Addison Trail’s boys basketball team.

The Blazers had two games go down to the buzzer and also had a comeback from a 15-point

halftime deficit in the first five games of the season, which all took place at the West Chicago Thanksgiving tournament.

AT left with a 2-3 record despite holding fourth-quarter leads in each of the five games.

The results showed that the Blazers can play with most every team they face, but they

have some work to do to close out more games.

“Looking back on it, we were in each game,” AT coach Brendan Lyons said. “[A record of] 2-3 isn’t where we want to be, but our confidence level and understanding of how good we can be is good.”

After losing to the host Wild-

cats 74-67 in the opener, AT came back from 40-25 down at halftime against Marmion and rallied for an 88-84 win. The Blazers shot 45 free throws in that game, making 35.

Lyons said the higher-scoring games are a result of AT

Senior Joe Villasenor, a 6-foot-5 forward, also stepped up as a rebounder and inside finisher. AT next plays tonight when it hosts Downers Grove South in the West Suburban Gold opener for both teams.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

York | Senior | Basketball Why Rose was selected: Rose was an all-tournament selection at Palatine and led the Dukes to the tournament title.

York senior guard Charlie Rose was one of two Dukes to be named to the all-tournament team at Palatine’s Ed Molitor Thanksgiving Classic. Rose, who was the starting quarterback for the football team in the fall, and the Dukes went 4-0 to win the tournament for the second year in a row. Rose, the Oak Trust Credit Union Athlete of the Week, spoke with sports reporter Dan Santaromita about the start of the season.

How do you think the season started for your team?

We did pretty well as a team. We really clicked so it was a good start for us.

What’s different about the team this year compared to last year?

I feel like this year we’re really senior heavy. We’re pretty deep and we’re really balanced. Any guy can lead us in scoring any night so whoever is hot we give him the ball.

Is it tough to transition from football to basketball?

It’s not that tough. I’ve gotten used to it in the second year now (on varsity).

It takes a couple weeks to get my shot back, but nothing other than that.

Do you prefer football or basketball?

NAPERVILLE – The North Central football team stormed into the NCAA Division III quarterfinals with a 52-24 home win over Wisconsin-Platteville Saturday.

The Cardinals (12-0), who will be making their second-ever appearance in the quarters, will now hit the road to take on Bethel University (Minn.) on Saturday.

We have high expectations as a team. Our goal now is to win conference. We haven’t done it in a few years.

This Athlete of the Week is brought to you by

Shane Dierking (Wheaton Warrenville South) contributed nine tackles and four pass breakups and Connor Douglas (Lombard, Glenbard South) finished with four tackles. Michael Monterrubio (Wheaton Warrenville South) added three tackles, one of which was for a loss.

Sacred Heart halts Montini’s drive for five Cyclones’ defense comes up late to take state title from Broncos

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com

Erica Benson - ebenson@shawmedia.com

Montini’s Mike Maduko (left) and Anthony Ferraro share a hug with one of their coaches after falling to Sacred Heart-Griffin in the state title state game in DeKalb Saturday.

Five pivotal plays at Class 5A state In a state title game, every play is important. These five were the most crucial plays in Saturday’s Class 5A championship game between Montini and Sacred Heart-Griffin.

Gabe Green took a designed draw 56 yards up the middle and was barely touched. The score cut the Bronco lead to 21-14 and came on the heels of SHG’s defense stopping Montini’s offense for the first time.

5. Turner breaks free

3. Cyclones take lead

Montini had just scored its second touchdown to take a 14-0 lead with 4:01 remaining in the first quarter and the Cyclones needed to get something going. They turned to their star wide receiver, Malik Turner, who took a screen pass and weaved through the Montini defense for 43 yards on the first play of the drive. SHG went on to score a touchdown later in the drive and finally gave their fans something to cheer about.

Green took an option keeper up the middle for 17 yards to score a touchdown with 4:54 left in the third quarter. It gave SHG its first lead of the game, 24-21.

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

4. Green busts out TD run Cyclone quarterback

2. Curry shifts momentum The Cyclones kicked short, a mistake they wouldn’t make again, and Derrick Curry took the kickoff 82 yards for a score. SHG just scored for the first time, but the momentum was short lived and Curry made it 21-7 Broncos with 15 sec-

onds left in the first quarter.

1. Wills takes a sack to end the first half Leading by seven points late in the second quarter, Montini was driving inside Cyclone territory. The Broncos faced third-and-goal from the 3-yard line with 19 seconds left and no timeouts.

They thought they could take a shot at the end zone and at worst kick a short field goal. Instead, Alex Wills was sacked by Chris Overton for a 12-yard-loss and the Broncos couldn’t get their kicking unit on the field in time to attempt the field goal. It was the second time of the quarter that the Broncos got into the red zone and left with no points. The fired up Cyclones’ sideline ran into the locker room with momentum going into halftime.

DeKALB – The Class 5A state title game matched up Montini’s defense, one of the best in the state, and Sacred Heart-Griffin’s offense, which set the state record for points in a season.

Yet it was the Cyclones’ defense that made the difference on Saturday at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb. SHG won 38-28 to end Montini’s bid for a fifth straight state title and a first undefeated season.

The Broncos (13-1) scored touchdowns on their first two offensive drives, but didn’t score an offensive touchdown again until the final minute of the game when the result was no longer in doubt.

“I think that their defense did a nice job of disguising some things,” Montini head coach Chris Andriano said. “They got pressure on our quarterback.

He was never in rhythm the whole day. He was off, and you could see it a few times where we had some guys that were open that he didn’t hit.”

Quarterback Alex Wills ran for a touchdown on the first drive and passed for one to Conner Costello on the second.

However, once the Cyclones went ahead 31-21 with 1:15 left in the third quarter, Wills was just 4-for-19 the rest of the game. The Broncos set a state championship game record with 60 pass attempts. Wills threw for 316 yards, but was 23-for-56 overall.

SHG (14-0) got on the board with 45 seconds left in the first quarter on a 1-yard run by Anthony DiNello. Montini immediately answered with an 82yard kickoff return by Derrick Curry. Curry’s score made it 21-7 and flipped the momentum back in Montini’s favor.

“Things looked good, but it’s four quarters,” Andriano said. “We would never concede and they were not going to do that either.”

The Cyclones cut the lead to 21-14 in the second quarter and held Montini scoreless in the quarter despite two Bronco trips to the red zone.

Sacred Heart-Griffin 38 Montini 28 Montini leaders Passing: Alex Wllls 23-for-56, 316 yards, TD Rushing: Prince Walker 4-32; Niko Italia 6-28 Receiving: Tyler Tumpane 9-137; Matt Brachmann 5-98; Leon Thornton 5-65 Tackles: Tyler Quick 18; Josh Belt 6

“I think that their defense did a nice job of disguising some things.

They got pressure on our quarterback. He was never in rhythm the whole day. He was off, and you could see it a few times where we had some guys that were open that he didn’t hit.”

Chris Andriano Montini football coach

Eventually the Cyclones’ offense got going. They scored 31 unanswered points before Montini’s late consolation score led by Charles Norgle at quarterback.

“I think it’s definitely the most pressure I’ve seen all year,” Wills said. “Sacred Heart had a great defensive gameplan. They saw some of our weaknesses in our O-line.

We tried to make adjustments, but they capitalized.”

The loss snapped a 20game winning streak and a 24-game postseason winning streak. The Broncos gave up 268 yards on the ground and a season-high 38 points.

“We had a few chances today, but we just couldn’t seem to get a hold of the game today for the first time in a long, long, long, long time,” Andriano said.
