MAYOR MARTIN TULLY

Infrastructure, finding efficiencies Downers Grove’s top goals for 2013 Downers Grove Mayor Martin Tully shares his New Years Resolutions on Dec. 18. Erica Benson — ebenson@shawmedia.com

BY BRIAN HUDSON bhudson@shawmedia.com

DOWNERS GROVE — Being mayor is about preparing for storms you can never really anticipate.

To that end, Downers Grove is gearing up to introduce next year a fund to raise money for stormwater projects. But those aren’t the storms that worry Mayor Martin Tully the most.

Share your “The ones I’m really thoughts worried about are Want to share your New Year’s the storms that come resolution? Comment on this out of Springfield story online at mysuburbanlife.

— because that can com/downersgrove change your balance sheet in a heartbeat,” he said.

As lawmakers address the state’s deep financial woes — with solutions that might push costs onto local municipalities — it is important to find strong financial footing with a solid long-range plan, Tully said.

With the calendar changing over to 2013, Tully discussed those priorities and other goals for next year in an interview last week.

Looking back at 2012, what do you see as the village’s biggest accomplishments?

Coming so soon on the heels of the economic Great Recession, I think that we are really proud that we passed a budget for 2013 that presents a balanced general fund and no additional reductions in services.

As part of that, we have continued a substantial investment in infrastructure. We are really stepping up and are back on track in terms of our investments on streets and sidewalks and stormwater. And of course, a big accomplishment was the finalization and adoption of the stormwater utility, which is the first one to my knowledge in DuPage County.

(It also) allowed us to reduce our property tax levy by about $2 million, which you’d be hard pressed to find an example of that in this area.

On the topic of next year’s new stormwater fund — which will pay for stormwater projects with a new fee that starts billing in January, rather than out of property tax dollars — how will the village review its success and shortcomings going forward?

The real key is going to be once we start moving forward on some of the additional stormwater products making sure

STREET TALK Have you made your New Year’s resolution?

“

Coming so soon on the heels of the economic Great Recession, I think that we are really proud that we passed a budget for 2013 that presents a balanced general fund and no additional reductions in services.”

we balance the revenues with the costs.

With a dedicated fund, like the water fund, you can pretty well predict what your costs are going to be. You can demonstrate to the public at large, here are the long-term costs.

So it’s very transparent, and very accountable. It will be very open book, so people will see what’s being done, what the costs are. Our intent is to make sure that those things are being balanced so you keep it sustainable for the long haul.

What are you top priorities for 2013?

Over the last several years we have been very proactive about identifying opportunity for communication, cooperation and collaboration with other public, nonpublic and notfor-profit organizations, to figure out how we can better and more efficiently deliver high-quality care to constituents.

For instance, working with (Downers Grove School) District 58 and SEASPAR for use of our municipal garage, so we can all get better service.

I think the top of the is agenda in 2013 is going to be even more proactive innovative identifying of those opportunities.

If we can work with the private sector, if we can work with other taxing bodies like the school districts, the park district or the county … to achieve things together that we can’t do

as well apart. We’re going to be pursuing that with a great deal of fervor. ...

One last thing, this has been on the to do list for a long time, I’d really like to come up with a workable plan, a path forward on our facility needs — primarily our police station.

It’s been recognized for way too long that the existing police station is inadequate for the demands of the modern police force, and it’s planned to be replaced many times and for various reasons, most recently the economy, it hasn’t happened.

One of the major unresolved issues in 2012 was a plan, later withdrawn after residents’ opposition, to develop a Walgreens at 63rd Street and Woodward Avenue. Do you think we’ll see this come up again?

Candidly, I don’t know, because that was driven entirely by the petitioner, who had identified a spot where they thought they could attract a tenant who they thought would be Walgreens. They dropped their proposals, so I don’t know whether there will be a proposal for a Walgreens somewhere else in the village. But I fully expect there will be a proposal for redevelopment of that parcel because it is in our comprehensive plan as a parcel that we’d like to see developed.

“No, I have not. … I wasn’t planning on it.”

NEWS IT’S HISTORY

A WINDOW INTO DOWNERS GROVE’S PAST

DGR Wednesday, December 26, 2012 Reporter/Progress

ONE OF DOWNERS GROVE’S FIRST HOMES IS ON THE MARKET The Rev. Orange Lyman came to Downers Grove in 1839 with his sons Henry and Thomas and purchased land that lay on both sides of Ogden Avenue and both sides of Highland Avenue.

The same year, he built his family home, which sits at 806 Maple Ave. and is thought to be the oldest home in Downers Grove, built in the Greek Revival style. The home is for sale.

The Rev. Lyman served as the first pastor of the East DuPage Church, which was the predecessor of the First Congregational Church in Downers Grove.

His grandson, Walter, won honors for his bees and beekeeping skills at the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893.

Safety prize delivers Downers Grove third-grader to school in style

BY BRIAN HUDSON bhudson@shawmedia.com

DOWNERS GROVE — Dominick Passo waited anxiously as his ride to school lumbered down the street — large, brightly colored and deisel-powered. But it wasn’t a school bus coming to get him.

This month, as a grand prize for a fire safety contest, 9-year-old Dominick won a ride in a fire truck and breakfast with some of Downers Grove’s bravest.

“It was the best day of our lives — it was so fabulous,” Dominick’s mother Kelly Passo gushed. “It was like Christmas morning.”

The contest is open to third-graders across Downers Grove, but Dominick’s teacher at Indian Trail Elementary School, Kathleen Tice, makes it a classroom assignment to emphasize fire safety.

The contest asked students to draw their house on a grid and identify two emergency exits. Winners had their names drawn from the almost 400 Downers Grove students who sent in their entries.

In fact, when firefighter Dale Smith arrived with the truck early that morning, one of the first things he asked Dominick was where his family’s meeting spot was in front of the house.

With neighbors gathered outside to see what the commotion was, Dominick climbed into the front seat and tested the

horn and siren. Then, with his younger brother Matthew, they headed off to Fire Station No. 5, 6701 Main St., where Smith

gave the boys and Tice a tour.

Once, another of Tice’s students won the prize, but an ice storm that year meant she could not attend. So this was Tice’s first time on the fire truck trip, too.

“She was just as excited as my kids,” Kelly Passo said.

After breakfast, the fire truck delivered them to school with full fanfare.

“So the fire truck took them to school, and they showed up with the sirens going and the whole deal,” she said. “When they got out, it was so cute, all the kids were clapping for them.”

NEWS NEWS BRIEFS Goodwill planning Downers Grove, Lombard stores

Cancer group in need of volunteer drivers

DOWNERS GROVE — Goodwill is opening two stores in the Downers Grove area, and store officials are looking for part-time workers at both locations.

The stores are slated to open in early 2013. The Downers Grove store will be at 110 Ogden Ave. Another will open in Lombard at 351 E. Roosevelt Road.

Two job fairs will be held later this month for those interested in working at the stores.

One runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 28 at Goodwill Willowbrook, 6300 Kingery Highway.

Another is scheduled for Dec. 27, though the location has not been announced.

“Working at Goodwill is more than a job,” according to an announcement from Goodwill. “You will be supporting our mission to provide training, employment and supportive services for people with disabilities or disadvantages who seek greater independence.”

The American Cancer Society is looking for weekday volunteers to join its volunteer program that transports cancer patients to and from their treatments.

Volunteers with Road to Recovery offer rides at no charge and it's a crucial service for those in treatment, said Amy Jo Steinbruecker, a spokeswoman for the American Cancer Society.

"To give you an example how crucial this program is, in 2011 just in DuPage County — OakBrook Terrace office — we provided 4,393 free rides to cancer patients to and from their life-saving treatments and appointments," Steinbruecker said in an email.

Volunteers must be at least 21, have a driver's license and insurance. Orientation and training are offered.

Those interested in volunteering should call 800-227-2345 to find the nearest office.

Darien girl, 11, brings joy to senior community with Christmas wish

BY BRIAN HUDSON bhudson@shawmedia.com

DOWNERS GROVE — At 11 years old, Mary Mulcahey by now knows the truth about Santa Claus.

But she’s not too skeptical that she doesn’t believe in Christmas miracles.

In fact, she’s hoping to deliver one — or at least as much as she can muster — as part of her Christmas list this year.

In a letter to Santa, Mary laid out her one wish: to play music for the residents at the Oak Trace senior community in Downers Grove.

“I thought it was just a very good idea because it would make me happy — because I love music and it would make the residents happy,” Mary said.

The residents are all strangers to her, but Mary chose Oak Trace because it is where her grandfather stayed before he passed away in 2011.

Mary played Christmas songs for him and other residents two years ago, and she always wanted to go back, her mother Gisele Mulcahey said.

“What touched her was grandpa was very, very tired,” she said. “When she played the flute that day, he got in his chair and wheeled himself out to hear her.

It gave her the idea that people like music and want to hear music.”

So when she was writing a letter to Santa as an example for her younger siblings, Mary naturally laid that out as her wish.

“I told him my name — I know he already knows that,” she quickly added.

“Instead of asking for some presents this year, I’d like to give a little more for the people at the retirement home.”

The letter arrived at Oak Trace and touched both the residents and the staff, said Laura Witt, director of volunteer services.

“I said, ‘You guys, you have to hear this,’” Witt said. “People had tears in their eyes.”

They immediately scheduled Mary to play on this day — the day after Christmas.

Witt also contacted the Downers Grove

Mary Mulcahey’s Christmas wish was to put a smile on the face of Oak Trace residents. John Cox — jcox@shawmedia.com

Reporter; Gisele Mulcahey was surprised to hear from a reporter last week.

Mary is a flautist with the Eisenhower Middle School orchestra, and they played their Christmas concert this month.

She’ll perform some of the songs for her solo act this week.

“I’m going to play some classic Christmas songs — ‘Jingle Bells,’ ‘White Christmas’ — and some classical music that is Christmas-y,” Mary said.

So far, that is all that Mary has asked for, her mother said.

“Gifts make her happy, but she wants to do something that lasts,” Gisele Mulcahey said.

Gifts can come for birthdays for any time, Mary said, but Christmas means she could do something special.

“I’d rather give the gift of love and hope to people than (get) a present.”

Township government here to serve needs of residents

Kind acts performed attest to meaning of Christmas I have heard by those who claim to be knowledgeable that we have lost the meaning of Christmas. To those who express these feelings, I say open your eyes and listen.

I have walked in my village and other communities since Thanksgiving and have seen and heard many things.

I have seen many grocery stores place large boxes in front of their stores so that customers could perform good deeds. I was in a store and saw an older couple place more in the box than they had in their cart for their needs.

As I walked the village, I heard school children singing in practice for a program they would give for those confined to nursing homes. It would be the busy mothers and fathers who piled them into cars to bring this joy and music to those who could no longer travel.

As I passed club houses, lodges and veterans meeting halls, members were carrying merchandise into the halls to be wrapped. I have seen an older couple carrying packages into a church, telling each other to be careful, don’t fall.

At other churches, families were bringing food to fill pantries for those in need. I have seen men and women from all races and color and different walks of life contribute their time and energy to bring joy and comfort to those who need it the most.

Thumbs Up — In the wake of the recent school shooting in Connecticut, the Westmont community is coming together to remember the victims and ensure safety is a priority at local schools.

A candlelight vigil for the victims held Dec. 16 at Ty Warner Park drew more than 100 people and featured speakers from a number of different groups in the community. The vigil was organized by Westmont resident and police officer Jim Schlicher.

Thumbs Up — Administrators have stepped up safety precautions in Downers Grove schools in response to the Connecticut tragedy. The front doors at the elementary and middle schools in Downers Grove School District 58 are now locked while students are in attendance, and guests will have to contact the front office to be admitted.

Doorbells have been installed at each school. For now, a staff member will let guests in manually, while district officials consider a more sophisticated buzzer system. The district already had a policy to keep all other doors locked during attendance hours.

Ian Nogle of Downers Grove (front, second from right) poses for a photo with fellow Scouts while taking a break from work on a trail in Lyman Woods. Nogle led the project as part of his efforts to gain Eagle Scout status. Submitted photo

On the trail to success SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Ian Nogle of Downers Grove was awarded the Eagle Scout medal at an Eagle Court of Honor ceremony with Troop 55 on Oct. 28.

Nogle’s Eagle Project involved planning, coordinating and leading a trail repair in Lyman Woods. He worked directly with the Downers Grove Park District and the Downers Grove Forestry Department in selecting and preparing the project.

The park district identified a low portion of the trail that needed repair due to flooding that occurred during heavy rains. The trail would stay wet and muddy for days after the rains ended, park district officials had said.

Nogle obtained all of the required materials and borrowed all the needed tools for the work before supervising more than 20 Scouts and volunteers the day of the work.

The repair required digging out a 20-foot by 4-foot section of trail, 6 inches deep. Pea gravel was then shoveled in the dig site, followed by the installation of 70-pound turf stones.

Nogle deferred the credit for the success of the project to the Scouts and others who volunteered their time and energy.

“I had the easiest job on the day of the project. The volunteers did all of the hard work. I’m so happy and appreciative they all helped out, and that the project went as planned with no real hitches,” he said.

Troop 55 is based out of the First Congregational Church of Christ in Downers Grove. The church has sponsored Troop 55 since the troop was founded in 1929.

Prior to joining Troop 55, Nogle was a member of Cub Scout Pack 86, sponsored

by Lester Elementary School. He is a senior at Downers Grove North High School, where he has participated in the marching band, concert bands and the cross-country and track teams for four years.

Eagle Scout is the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America. It involves demonstrating leadership, earning ranks and merit badges and leading an Eagle Project.

Downers Grove ranks among nation’s ‘friendliest’ communities on Forbes list SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

DOWNERS GROVE — If Downers Grove seems like a friendly place to live, it’s not just a feeling — now there’s research to back it up.

An article from Forbes.com published this week lists Downers Grove as one of America’s “friendliest towns.”

Downers Grove appears at No. 8, joining such communities as Fishers, Ind., and Hamilton, N.Y. The accompanying article notes that friendliness can be hard to quantify, but the list is based on measurable factors, including census data, FBI crime statistics and information from the Chronicle of Philanthropy on charitable giving.

Finally, Forbes partnered with Nextdoor. com, a neighborhood social networking site, to help finalize the rankings.

“Many of the towns that made our list have certain commonalties beyond the factors we rated them on,” the Forbes article stated. “Nearly all boast tracts of public open spaces (like parks, beaches and outdoor recreational trails) and a central downtown or main street hub that

lends itself to town-sponsored events and parades.”

At No. 8, Downers Grove was sandwiched between Alpharetta, Ga., and Huntington Woods, Mich.

The rankings noted Downers Grove’s “more than 140 community events and festivals” as well as a roughly 80 percent homeownership rate and a highly education population.

The rankings also noted Downers Grove’s atmosphere.

“In addition to a boutique and restaurant-filled downtown, this suburb has about 600 acres of parks and green space,” the rankings touted. “On Saturdays during the summer, neighbors partake in a farmers market and auto enthusiasts gather on Friday nights for an informal classic car show.”

The list of 15 included several Midwestern communities, but Downers Grove was the only one in Illinois that made the cut. At No. 1 was Sammamish, Wash. — population 46,700 and a town that, in addition to picturesque mountains, features a high rate of homeownership and low crime and unemployment figures, according to Forbes.

LETTERS Continued from Page 10

I know I am older and don’t or hear as well as I used to, but I know the meaning of Christmas still exists. Because on Christmas Eve, a mother, father, grandparent, guardian, senior citizen or veteran rested because of the good deeds performed by so many to fulfill certain needs.

To those who have taken time from their busy lives and from their treasury to perform these good deeds, I hope as you rested this Christmas Eve that you allowed the peace of that night to enter your hearts and awakened to the love and joy of Christmas Day. For you have truly prepared for the way of the child.

John Cantlin, Downers Grove

Charitable group grateful for community support The volunteers of the Downers Grove FISH Pantry wish to thank the many people who have donated so generously this Christmas season. In the true spirit of giving, we have received food, clothing and monetary donations from many local businesses, church groups, school groups, grocery stores and social groups — and the generosity keeps growing.

The third-grade Brownies of Indian Trails School and Cub Scout Pack 227 have collected an amazing amount of food. An employee group from Commonwealth Edison dropped off a carload of food.

Coats, mittens, scarves and games were given as well. Wannemaker’s Home & Garden Center as well as Operation Pine Needle, courtesy of the Knights Templar, have donated fresh Christmas trees again this year.

We are very grateful to everyone who has contributed to help those in our local community who are less fortunate.

Together, we are helping to make life a bit easier for our most vulnerable citizens during this Christmas season. Please know what a difference you make by reaching out to our neighbors in need.

The Downers Grove Area FISH Inc. has continued to serve the local communities’ emergency needs for 43 year through the

generosity of our local residents. In this economic climate, more and more families are suffering unemployment and difficulties we have never experienced in our lifetimes.

Please consider the needs of others in our community when you are grocery shopping.

If you miss a food drive, we accept donations at the pantry year-round. We accept monetary gifts — a higher value — with our ability to purchase food commodities through our large quantity discounts from the Northern Illinois Food Bank.

If you are in a desperate situation, we do our best to help. Please contact us by calling 630-964-7776.

The FISH Food and Clothing Pantry is located in the Downers Grove Township building, 4340 Prince St. in Downers Grove.

The FISH Pantry is open for emergency business from 9 to 11:15 a.m. on Monday and Friday.

The FISH pantry is 100 percent volunteer and 100 percent nonprofit Our services are provided using no government funding or grants. Visit www.dgfish.org for more information.

School board president to run for re-election I recently filed for re-election to the Community High School District 99 Board of Education.

I am running for re-election because I believe strong, locally controlled public schools are a vital cornerstone of our community. I believe I have provided calm, steady leadership while promoting the idea that all District 99 constituencies deserve to have their voices heard.

I also understand and support the distinction between an elected school board, which establishes the overall direction for the district, and our professional educators, who implement the district’s mission on a dayto-day basis. Finally, I am guided by the belief that although District 99’s two schools serve a number of municipalities, we are all members of one community.

District 99 has been a strong and successful district for many years. However, the last two

WMP/DGR Wednesday, December 26, 2012 Reporter/Progress

years have seen an exceptional list of accomplishments that will benefit our entire community well into the future. n Quietly and with minimal controversy, we reached agreement on a teachers contract that is frugal and yet fair to both the taxpayers and our faculty; n The overall costs of administration remain admirably low, both in comparison with other districts and in comparison with amounts spent on student instruction; n Transparency regarding district operations, strategic planning, board meetings and finances has been enhanced in a number of different ways; n District 99 has strengthened its relationships with all constituent communities; n Beautiful new outdoor facilities have been installed and of greatest importance; and n Student achievement has remained strong, both in the traditional academic subject areas and in music, speech, theater, athletics and the many other co-curricular endeavors that make District 99 a truly remarkable school district.

I am also proud and pleased to note that all of these accomplishments have occurred within the constraints of a balanced and responsible budget.

Deborah Boyle has also filed for re-election to the District 99 Board of Education. I support Mrs. Boyle in her bid for re-election, not because we always agree but because we have been able to work together effectively and productively notwithstanding our disagreements.

Despite our larger political differences, Mrs. Boyle and I share a common commitment to ensuring that all stakeholders within our community are afforded a seat at the table so their voices may be heard with respect and courtesy. Successful representative government requires a willingness to cooperate and collaborate, especially among those with whom we disagree, and is absolutely necessary if we are to engage the entire community in supporting our public schools.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season, and I look forward to sharing my vision as to how strong, locally controlled public schools will benefit everyone in the District 99 community.

Bill White, Downers Grove, president of

Roskam understands need to keep tax rates lower Like most Americans, I am distressed to see a lack of progress on work to solve the looming problem of the so-called “fiscal cliff.”

Does any clear-mined person really think we have a low taxation problem in Washington, D.C.? No. But most people realize we have a high spending (i.e., overspending) problem in Washington, D.C. — and in many states, too.

I voted for U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam because he understands this basic concept. He also knows that increasing taxes now is dangerous.

If there is an economic recovery under way now in America (and that is doubtful), an increase in anyone’s taxes might do more immediate harm than good. It could stall any improvement.

Consider this: We know that cutting tax rates in the 1980s led to increased revenue and a strong recovery; in fact, a recovery that lasted 25 years! And if we are honest, we also know that any new taxes “confiscated”

by Washington, D.C., will only go to more unbudgeted spending frenzies — not toward debt reduction.

Let’s face it: President Obama has no intention of reducing our debt. Instead, his policies will only grow government and saddle future generations of Americans with more debt.

The proof: He offers no cuts, and he’s added more than a $1 trillion (which to be clear is the equivalent of $1,000 billion) per year, each year, to the deficit! And President Obama has never worked within a budget. He couldn’t even get one Democrat Party vote for his submitted (and alarmingly irresponsible) budgets in the Senate.

Therefore, as long as U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam remains committed to solving our economic problems with common sense solutions like economic growth — not reckless tax increases — I will continue to support him and those like him in the House and Senate. Keep up the good work, Peter.

Tom Hayes, Westmont

NEW YEAR’S EVE I

Are you looking to avoid the crowds and the cost of a night on a town this New Year’s Eve? Those who stay in can make the night special with a variety of foods and drinks from markets and grocers across the western suburbs. Whether you’re throwing a party at home or just enjoying a quiet evening with the family, here are a few take-home suggestions that can add flair to the final night of 2012.

STAY IN

Whether you stay in or go out, suburbs offer plenty of ways to ring in 2013 with style

t’s been a year of ups and downs, tragedies and accomplishments, and now it’s time to move on.

With 2013 just around the corner, it’s time to make plans to usher in the new year and leave 2012 behind.

How will you celebrate? We have options for those who want to spend the night with family and friends out on the town, as well as suggestions for people planning parties or quiet nights at home.

The suburbs have plenty of options for New Year’s Eve, whether it’s drinking, dining, or having fun with your family. So grab the bubbly, your friends and family and make plans to usher in the new year.

BUBBLE BASH

New Year’s Eve isn’t just for adults, kids can also enjoy the night.

This year, the DuPage Children’s Museum will host the 11th annual family friendly Bubble Bash in Naperville.

The event will feature Jeanie B. and the Bill Ackerman — Jellybeans, Geoff Akins backerman@shawmedia.com the Bubble Wonder Man and a countdown until noon on Monday. The show will be held at the Wentz Concert Hall, 171 E. Chicago Ave., Naperville. Doors open at 10 a.m. and tickets are $10 for members and $15 for nonmembers. For more information, visit dupagechildrensmuseum. org or call 630-637-8000.

INCOGNITO FESTIVITIES

Trays galore Standard Market in Westmont carries almost anything you fancy for your New Year’s Eve house party.

The store caters and has the capability to concoct the ideal meal for your festivities, starting with a variety of food trays. “We’ve got a lot of really nice trays, like seafood, cheese trays, and wine trays, which come with a few different kinds of wine,” said Customer Service Manager Carolyn Kalafut. If the selection isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, the store can also custom-make a tray for a party or a celebration at home. To check out the New Year’s menu, visit standardmarket.com or call 630-3667030. The market is located at 333 E. Ogden Ave., Westmont.

Feast Nothing says the holidays like platters of food and full bellies, and New Year’s Eve shouldn’t be any different. Geneva’s Moveable Feast has a special New Year’s Eve catering menu for those looking to throw a party. The choices can fit anyone’s needs and can accommodate a party of any size — just make sure you reserve your food early. Moveable Feast is located at 321 Franklin St., Geneva. To see a full menu, visit moveablefeastgeneva.com or call 630-845-3287.

Meats, meats, meats Instead of butchering your own meat this New Year’s Eve, leave the work to Shannon’s Corner Butcher Shoppe. The Lombard butcher shop and deli duo has

PINSTRIPES Start 2013 with three Bs — bowling, bocce and bistro — at Pinstripes. With no cover charge, Pinstripes is offering one of the most affordable

nearly any meat imaginable, from sandwich trays to smoked salmon platters to cheese trays. It even offers vegetable trays and dessert. The shop is located at 15 S. Park Ave., Lombard. For more information, call 630- 953-9080 or visit shannonscornerbutcher shoppe.com.

Sparkling wine Better known as champagne, sparkling wine is a great choice for a New Year’s Eve party at home. Dick Westall, a wine consultant for Lynfred Winery and Tasting DeVine in Wheaton, recommends the shop’s sparking brut wine or the almond-flavored sparkling wine. He said both are excellent for parties because they go well with all food. “The brut is a typical drier champagne that would be the most appropriate,” he said. “The sparkling is light enough that it won’t dominate food, but it has enough acidity that the food won’t dominate the wine. The sparkling also cleanses the mouth so that every bite of food is like the first bite.” All of Tasting DeVine’s wines come from Roselle’s Lynfred Winery. Tasting DeVine is located at 127 W. Front St., Wheaton. For more information, call 630-752-9463 or visit lynfredwinery. com.

Flutes and wine Vino E Birra in La Grange has lots of sparkling wine necessities for your New Year’s Eve party. If you’re stumped and don’t know what to get, the shop’s Carol Colvin has several suggestions. The first is a Prosecco Frizzante Treviso, which is a Fabio Ceschin Brut from Italy. Colvin says it’s “peachy, fruity and juicy with a good balance.” If you want to try a variety, Vino E Birra carries the 90+ Cellars Holiday Essentials Gift Pack. The box includes sauvignon blanc, French fusion red, Riesling, pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon and Prosecco along with tasting notes, pairing suggestions and recipes. Don’t forget to grab some govino flutes, which are reusable, recyclable and shatterproof. “Start the party with a do-it-yourself craft and guests can decorate their own flute using paint or markers from a hobby store,” Colvin said. Vino E Birra is located at 18 W. Burlington Ave., La Grange. To get your party started, visit vinoand birra.com or call 708-639-4466.

New Year’s Eve parties around.

There will be two balloon drops, at 8 p.m. and midnight, along with party favors and champagne for everyone. Ray Silkman will provide music throughout the night. Pinstripes Oak Brook is located at 7 Oakbrook Center Mall, Oak Brook. For details or to make reservations, visit pinstripes.com or call 630-575-9300.

Starting at 8:30 p.m., there will be a full buffet with appetizers, salads, pastas, entrees and dessert, and guests will receive two drink tickets.

The meal will start with oysters with mignonette and cocktail sauce, followed by a barrel-cut filet with crab meat, béarnaise sauce and mashed potatoes or a center-cut filet medallion with baked lobster tail.

OUT AND ABOUT

OUTDOOR ICE SKATING DO IT

Erinn Hutkin, editor (630) 427-6253 ehutkin@shawmedia.com

Renee Tomell, reporter (630) 427-6258 rtomell@shawmedia.com

Dan Farnham, calendar (630) 427-6259 theguide@sshawmedia.com

While most sports are forced indoors during winter weather, ice skating and hockey thrive during the cold.

During the winter, many suburban park districts set up outdoor ice skating rinks for people to enjoy during the chilly winter months.

One of those rinks is the Elmhurst YMCA’s outdoor rink, which is a compressed ice rink that has the same capabilities as many indoor rinks. Thanks to the compressor, the rink can function in any weather — as long as the temperature doesn’t reach upwards of 70 degrees or if it’s raining.

“It’s just amazing,” said Susan Chansey, the YMCA’s member relations and ice rink director. “It really encompasses a great sport, a great workout, and a great way to spend time with your friends and family.”

The compressors also give the YMCA the capability to create leagues and organizations. There’s a men’s hockey league, rat hockey, youth hockey, pre-hockey, holiday skating, family skating and skate school and classes. Open skates are held throughout the week at varying times. Chansey said an open skate held from 8:30 to 9:50 p.m. on Friday nights is one of the highlights of the rink.

“Our night open skate with the sky and the stars and the outdoors is great as well,” Chansey said. “It’s a whole different experience than being inside in an enclosed space.”

Erica Benson — ebenson@shawmedia.com

WHAT YOU NEED Unlike indoor rinks, outdoor rinks force guests to pay attention to the weather and temperatures.

Although it’s been unseasonably warm so far, when weather conditions drop, it would be ideal to have a hat, scarf, gloves and a winter coat to keep warm.

Some outdoor rinks, such as the Elmhurst YMCA, also offer skate rentals for $4. Several rinks and ponds don’t provide skates, so be sure to check websites to find out before you go.

There’s also a fee for open skate, classes and leagues. The Elmhurst YMCA charges $5 for kids and $6 for adults during open skate, while fees at other rinks vary.

WHERE TO GO n The Elmhurst YMCA’s outdoor rink is open until March, and compressors keep the rink cold even

when it’s warm. There’s open skate as well as hockey leagues, skate lessons and family skate. Fees vary depending on the event, and skates are available for rent. The rink is located at 211 W. First St., Elmhurst.

For details or more information, visit elmhurstymca. org or call 630-993-8900. Call the ice rink hotline at 630-834-9214 an hour before a scheduled activity to make sure the rink is open. n Naperville has several outdoor ice skating rinks that are open this winter. Although the weather has prohibited many from opening so far, once the weather hits at least 15 degrees for 72 hours straight, the rinks will be ready for skaters. Hockey is allowed at Centennial Park, 500 W. Jackson Ave., while the rink at Nike Sports Complex, 288 W. Diehl Road, permits broomball. All the other rinks are meant for open skate. Commissioners Park, 3704 111th St., and Gartner Park, 524 Gartner Road, are also open to the public. To check whether rinks are open, visit napervilleparks.org or call 630-848-5000. n There are rinks and ponds throughout Wheaton for outdoor winter fun. Lit skating rinks in Elmhurst include Northside Park at the north end of West Street, Rathje Park at Roosevelt and Delles roads, C.L. Herrick Park at Herrick at Armbrust streets and Kelly Park at 1100 Main St. has a man-made ice rink. Seven Gables on Winner’s Cup Circle and Hull Park at 1400 Hull Drive also have rinks that are not lit. Due to warm conditions, all rinks are currently closed, but will open when the weather cools. For more information on the rinks and conditions, visit wheatonparkdistrict.com or call 630-665-4710.

Passion for fashion Urban Darling expert helps define people’s style

A

fter years of experience in boutiques coupled with requests from friends and relatives seeking her clothing advice, Kathrine Eldridge translated her love of fashion into a career as a wardrobe stylist on the Urban Darling team. It allows schedule flexibility that the Westmont mom was seeking. Eldridge, who grew up in Lombard, talks about life as fashionista.

Is the assessment process intimidating?

When people think of stylist, they think of celebrities. The reason I joined Urban Darling is their logo: “We style real people.” I’m here to help people. How many women walk into a closet and say, “I have nothing to wear. …” Some people can’t get out of Find fashion their ruts. I come in as an outsider and … make expert suggestions. In this What: Kathrine economy, when people Eldridge, the suburbs’ can’t afford to buy a first Urban Darling whole new wardrobe — wardrobe stylist, offers fine — let’s go into your free, 30-minute phone closet and see what you consultations have and find new ways Contact: Visit urban to use it. (For example,) darling.com/kathrine add a belt or necklace. for a questionnaire.

I’m going to be very To set up a call, dial delicate, not a dictator. …

773-744-4320 But if you haven’t worn (something) in a year, Note chances are you’re not going to wear it. Most of For her preview of 2013 the time, so much stuff trends, view this story in our closet just sits online. there. Leopard-print pants from six years ago?

You’re not going to wear it.

How does the service work?

Something I offer is to give you a closet audit. I come in and we go through everything in your closet, and you try stuff on for me. (We create) piles of what to keep, get rid of or tailor. If they do want to buy (some) new clothes, I help with that as well. I identify what basics are missing.

What do you consider basics?

A black pencil skirt and a white button-down. A great pair of black trousers. Some type of blazer, and great undergarments.

What are some of your options?

Urban Darling offers virtual styling. Say they’re not ready to have me come out for a full-blown closet audit, but need an outfit for a special occasion and want some suggestions. They can give me their criteria. There are so many great places to shop online. (I know) what the fit is.

What’s one of your secrets?

One of my strengths is I can mix high and low price points. I get little trendy pieces (from stores) that change up your look with not a lot of money. (And I suggest) when to invest more money in certain pieces — something you’ll wear for years.

Share a common fashion mistake and a piece of advice.

People buy things too big for them. They don’t want things hugging their body, thinking it hides flaws, but (actually) makes them look bigger. If you find a pair of jeans that fits you great … buy a second pair, if you

know it’s something you love and you wear it all the time. Sometimes, you’ll wear heels to dress it up. Have (each) hemmed according to what shoe you’re going to wear.

Are you big on trends?

If you know what works for your body, stay with it.

You see so many trends coming out. (They) don’t work for every body type. The most important thing is stick with what looks right for your body. Don’t be swayed by every trend.

2012 CHAMPION YEAR OF THE

TAYLOR KRAMER Benet girls diving Number to know:

11.05

Number of points by which Kramer trailed leader Allegra Codamon of Zion-Benton heading into the finals Trophy trail: A sectional champ at Metea Valley with a point total of 426.60, Kramer found herself in second place after the first series of dives at state. With three dives left in the finals, the senior had a double-digit deficit to overcome, and that’s exactly what she did. She surpassed the leader, Allegra Codamon, and scored well enough to hold off Fenwick’s Michelle Kalupski for the title with a score of 414.25. Kramer’s effort helped the Redwings to a 21st-place finish as a team.

Quote of note:

“One of our concerns for Taylor over the years was her ability to concentrate and perform well in competition.

This year she overcame those inabilities, and I think that is what she is most proud of in winning the state meet.

That also is why she was able to come from behind to win — she was consistent and strong through the entire meet.”

GABBY SIMS Downers Grove North girls swimming Number to know:

3 Total number of state medals Gabby Sims earned at the state meet, including the 100 backstroke and 400 freestyle relay Trophy trail: Sims won a pair of solo sectional titles (in the 100 backstroke and 100 freestyle), but the junior had more reasons to be pleased at the state meet. Looking to break the 50-second mark in the freestyle, she did it twice: she touched the wall in 49.65 with the fastest time in the prelims, then went even lower with a 49.57 in the finals to win the championship by more than a second.

It was her third state title (200 medley relay as a freshman, 100 backstroke as a sophomore) and her 12th state medal overall.

Quote of note: “It was really cool. I kind of went into the meet with the goal of going under 50 (seconds). When I looked up at my time, it was one of the most amazing moments of my life.”

— Gabby Sims

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL Benet Number to know:

16, 24 Length of two separate winning streaks for the Redwings on the way to their second straight state title Trophy trail:Benet was wearing the bullseye after claiming the state title in 2011, but instead of succumbing to the pressure the Redwings thrived. They were pushed to three games just four times during the regular season and won four tournament titles (Benet, Wheaton Classic, Mizuno Cup and Autumnfest) before storming to regional, sectional and supersectional titles. Benet was finally tested in the Class 4A semifinals and finals, losing the first game to Libertyville and New Trier, respectively, but came back in both matches to take home their third state trophy (second in 2008) in five years.

Number to know: 1.08 Margin of victory, in seconds, for the Raiders’ quartet in the championship race Trophy trail:The 4 x 100 relay — seniors Rosemary Onyegbule, Kymbriona Taylor and Kimberly Azie with freshman Jessica Watkins running second in the finals — actually had to overcome some adversity on their way to the state title.

Third runner Kymbriona Taylor pulled her hamstring at the conference meet two weeks prior to state and she didn’t run in the state prelims. No worries.

Bolingbrook won its prelim race by more than a second and did the same in the finals to bring home the title.

Quote of note: “Winning the 4 x 100 was a great feeling for the girls because they were dealing with some tough issues as a unit and they overcame them. One of the primary concerns was the leg of Kym Taylor, but she helped the team run a personal best of 46.58 seconds, which helped us to earn the school record and win the title.”

2012 CHAMPION YEAR OF THE

Winning a championship trophy isn’t the only measure of success. Here’s a look at area teams and athletes that reached elite status in Illinois this year by placing in the top four.

ROB BAIN School: Bolingbrook Sport: Wrestling Place: 2nd Finish: Bain’s season got off to a late start after he helped Bolingbrook’s football team to the 2011 state title, but he quickly established himself as one of the top wrestlers in the state. He went undefeated through his first 26 matches, which included conference, regional and sectional titles. He made it all the way to the Class 3A 285-pound title match.

CULLEN CUMMINGS School: Downers Grove North Sport: Wrestling Place: 2nd Finish: Injury limited Cummings’ time on the mat early in the season but didn’t affect his performance later in the campaign.

The regional champ advanced to the Class 3A state meet with a third-place finish at the sectional, but he left nothing to chance at state, winning his first three matches at 132 pounds to advance to the title match in his junior season.

STRAHINJA SOPCIC School: Downers Grove North Sport: Boys gymnastics Place: 4th Finish: Turning in a score of 8.9 during a preliminary rotation on still rings at the state meet last spring, Sopcic did even better in the finals. Receiving a high score of 9.2 from one judge, the sophomore placed fourth in the state with a score of 8.95. He also competed on parallel bars, horizontal bars, pommel horse and floor exercise at state.

GABBY SIMS School: Downers Grove North Sport: Girls swimming Place: 2nd Finish: Facing Glenbrook South’s Olivia Smoliga (who clocked four state-record times at the state meet) in the 100 backstroke final, Sims placed second with a time of 54.02 seconds. Sims’ runner-up time was more than two seconds faster than the third-place time turned in by Hersey’s Amanda Petro (56.27)

Tim Doll School: Westmont Sport: Boys track and field Place: 2nd Finish: One of three Westmont sectional champions (Doll won the 400-meter dash in 49.96 seconds), the sophomore maintained that momentum at the Class 1A state meet last spring.

He won his preliminary race in 50.38 and ran to second place in the state with a time of 49.99.

DOWNERS GROVE SOUTH Sport: Girls soccer Place: 3rd Finish: The Mustangs sent 29-year head coach Barry Jacobson out on a high note with a shootout win in the state third-place game against Glenbrook South. Both teams notched secondhalf goals and went to the shootout tied 1-1. Sarrah Ludwig, Jessica Pikul, Flo Beshiri and Brittany Dietz scored in the shootout to lift South to a 2-1 win, securing the fifth state trophy in Jacobson’s tenure.

KIMBERLY AZIE Downers Grove South’s Stephanie Hall. Bill Ackerman — backerman@shawmedia

JOHN SCHUBERT School: Downers Grove North Sport: Boys gymnastics Place: 3rd Finish: Tied for ninth place after the floor exercise preliminaries at the state meet last spring, Schubert moved up in the finals.

The junior tallied a 9.45 (with a high score of 9.6) and finished in a three-way tie for third place. He also was a state qualifier on pommel horse, vault, horizontal bars and parallel bars.

BENET Sport: Football Place: Class 7A semifinals Finish: The Redwings claimed the East Suburban Catholic Conference title with an 8-1 mark after a 1-8 season in 2011.

They then won in the quarterfinal round of the Class 7A playoffs on Jack Toner’s last-second TD catch, and advanced to the semifinals for the first time in 28 years as they finished 11-2.

School: Bolingbrook Sport: Girls track and field Place: 4th Finish: After helping the 4 x 100 relay to a state title, Azie didn’t have much time to rest up for her solo 100 dash. A few events after the relay, Azie captured her own state medal by placing fourth with a time of 11.94 seconds. She accomplished the feat from an outside lane after placing second in her preliminary heat. He finals time represented a time drop of more than a quarter of a second from her sectional title time (12.25).

DOWNERS GROVE NORTH Sport: Girls swimming Place: 4th Finish: The Trojans won a sectional title in the 400-yard freestyle relay with a time of 3:30.42, but they were even better at the state meet in November. The quartet of junior Maddy Sims, sophomore Emily Albrecht, senior Hannah Kaufmann and junior Gabby Sims clocked a 3:28.54 in the prelims and took fourth in the state with a time of 3:29.41 in the finals.

In fourth place with 292 points after the preliminary round of dives, the then-junior kept that positioning in the finals and brought home a state medal with 397.85 points.

WILLIE ANAYA School: Downers Grove South Sport: Wrestling Place: 4th Finish: In his senior season, Anaya had just one blemish on his record entering the state tournament, and kept on winning with a regional title and second-place showing at the sectional (the sectional loss was 3-2 in overtime of the championship match). Anaya advanced to the 160pound semifinals at the Class 3A state meet (falling to the eventual champ) and placed fourth.

PREP ROUNDUP

Boys basketball BOLINGBROOK Just seconds into a Dec. 18 game against districtrival Romeoville, Ben Moore got the ball under the basket and converted an uncontested layup.

That was about the extent of the work the Bolingbrook senior put in for the night. Moore was relegated to cheerleader duty as the Raiders jumped out to a 21-3 lead early in the second quarter on the way to a 64-34 win over the Spartans.

“We know Romeoville is a good team so we were preparing hard in practice, but we came out fast and we were able to play everybody, so that was a good thing,” Moore said.

Moore’s night ended early in the second quarter with four points. Starters Prentiss Nixon (eight

Gage Davis led four Bolingbrook players in double figures with 12 points. Johnathan Boatright scored 11 and Julian Torres and Josh Dillingham had 10 apiece.

“The bench did a great job,” Moore said.

“They’ve been working hard in practice and they deserved to play, and they played hard.”

Moore saw more action as the Raiders topped host Glenbard West 68-53 Dec. 20. Moore had 18 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks as Bolingbrook improved to 7-2 ahead of an early wake-up call the day after Christmas to play in the McDipper tournament.

DOWNERS GROVE NORTH The Trojans continued their strong run at the Addison Trail Pre-Holiday tournament Dec. 19 with a 62-43 win over St. Francis de Sales.

AUTOMOTIVE AUTO BITS

Costly mistakes Avoiding these common mistakes will help keep your car on the road longer.

Oil change intervals matter: According to ConsumerReports.org, “Under normal driving conditions, most vehicles are designed to go 7,500 miles or more between oil changes.”

Check your owner’s manual for the recommended interval.

My tires look fine: Don’t ignore the air pressure in your tires until they “look like they’re low.” AAA recommends that you check your tire pressure bi-weekly.

Check your coolant: The coolant in your radiator keeps the engine cool while it’s running and can keep the engine block from freezing if you live in an extremely cold climate.

— Brandpoint CAR Q&A

Dash cluster Q: I own a 2002 Buick Century with 80,000 miles. The shift indicator and odometer stopped illuminating. I went to the dealer and they said I need to replace the dash cluster at a cost of $500. Is there any other solution?

A: We remove and send out the dash clusters to a company that rebuilds them for a third of what GM charges. There may be a local company that also can rebuild the dash.

REVIEW

The ATS is Cadillac’s ‘roads scholar’ T

he new ATS would be a huge shock if we hadn’t already been conditioned by its bigger brother, the CTS. Both of these talented rear-wheeldrive sedans are the result of Cadillac’s having contracted Nurburgring Syndrome. The ‘Ring is that famously complex 12.94mile road-racing course deep in the woods of eastern Germany where manufacturers refine their performance cars. With bumps, hills, 73 corners and straights long enough to let the big dogs run close to 200 mph, the ‘Ring is much more like an ultimate country road than a modern racetrack laid out for TV coverage.

Carmakers use the ‘Ring as a field laboratory, a place to see whether the computer simulations are correct. A few years ago, even Cadillac began flogging its development mules around those 73 corners and 13 miles. The first ‘Ring-born Cadillac was the almost-outrageous CTS, which we called the best American-made driver’s car ever. The smaller, lighter, more nimble ATS is better yet.

Cadillac offers the ATS in four styles - Luxury, Performance, Premium and standard - with a 202horsepower 4-cylnder engine, a 272-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder or a V6 rated at 321 horsepower. A standard ATS starts at $34,000. Our test car, an all-wheel-drive V-6 Luxury with $3,000 in options atop an already well-

There are three suspension modes - Touring, Sport, Winter - but it’s hard to tell them apart, especially as Cadillac’s Magnetic Ride Control automatically adapts the dampers to new blacktop or old potholes.

Dead-stable in a straight line, the ATS can change direction like a cutting horse.

The steering is taut and perfectly weighted at any speed.

An ATS owner with a season’s pass to the Nurburgring (about $1,800 for unlimited laps on public days) might order the available high-performance Brembo brakes, but the stock anchors are more than powerful enough for normal, even heavy-duty road use.

Dynamically, then, the ATS is a star, an all-around player that could hardly be less like your daddy’s Caddy.

(Let’s not even mention the vile, hideous mid-’80s Cimarron, the company’s only previous stab at a small car.)

What about refinement and creature comforts?

The back seats are a bit tight, but everything else is very nearly outstanding, with only hints of oldschool gaudiness.

If you think you’re busy this time of year, imagine how busy the first lady of holiday cheer can be. Not only does she help the big guy get ready for Christmas, but she makes sure everyone in the North Pole has a memorable holiday season. From hosting parties to keeping the elves happy and healthy, this joyful time of year is also her busiest.

For a holiday season filled with joy and laughter, Mrs. Claus shared her favorite ways to make lasting memories with your little ones.

Letters to Santa: Santa loves receiving letters from children.

Encouraging your kids to write to Santa provides a great opportunity to teach them how to spell, compose written text and allows them to practice handwriting. For younger kids who haven’t started reading or writing, encourage them to draw pictures, instead.

Leave something special: Making a snack for Santa with your little helpers offers an extra opportunity to spend time together creating memories that will last a lifetime. Think beyond the cookie tray and personalize your treats just for him.

Holiday cheer: Make decorating the house a fun event for the whole family. Engage your kids in holiday crafts to display on the mantle and make sure everyone has ornaments to hang on the tree.

Rudolph roadmap: Make sure Santa and his reindeer can find your house. Sprinkle a mixture of oats and glitter on your front yard to help guide them right to your home - even if it gets a little foggy.

Flu season etiquette

Out of sight Keep young ones from getting into medicines, vitamins

— Brandpoint NEW RESEARCH

By Family Features

Coffee-cancer death link?

In a recent survey from the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, nearly one out of every four grandparents said they store prescription medicines in easy-access places, including daily-dose boxes that children can easily open, and 18 percent said they store over-thecounter medicines in easily accessible spots.

Annually, more than 60,000 children 5 or younger are treated in emergency departments for accidental ingestion of household medicines, according to Dan Budnitz, M.D., M.P.H., director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Medication Safety Program.

In partnership with the CDC’s PROTECT Initiative, the Consumer Healthcare Products Association Educational Foundation created the Up and Away and Out of Sight educational program to help parents, grandparents and caregivers understand how to best store and safeguard the medicines they use so young children cannot access them.

The following tips and resources can help to make sure your grandchildren are always protected: ■ Keep all medicines and vitamins in a high cabinet or other place inaccessible to your grandchildren.

A study by the American Cancer Society has found that people who drink four or more cups of caffeinated coffee have half the risk of dying of throat or mouth cancer than people who drink less or no coffee have.

Researchers believe that the antioxidants and polyphenols found in coffee, not the caffeine, reduce the growth and development of mouth and throat cancers. The biggest risk factors for developing these cancers are tobacco and alcohol use, but HPV infection has become a greater risk factor in the past 30 years.

In a press statement, lead study author Janet Hildebrand cautions, “We are not recommending people all drink four cups of coffee a day. This is just a little bit of good news for those of us who enjoy coffee.”

The study found that the link between drinking decaf coffee and dying of throat or mouth cancer was insignificant and the link for tea was non-existant.

FAMILY FEATURES

Keep purses, bags or coats that have medicines or vitamins in them out of their reach and sight.

■ Remember to never leave medicines or vitamins out on a table, countertop or bedside table where your grandchildren could reach them - always make sure the caps are locked and put them away every time they are used.

■ Set a daily reminder to take your medicines and vitamins on your refrigerator or a location you check on a daily ■

basis, since they will be safely stored out of sight.

■ Program the national Poison Help number, 1-800-2221222, along with other emergency contact numbers into your home and cell phones, so they are available in case of an emergency.

For more information and resources, visit www.UpandAway.org.

Explaining medicine safety to children Families take medicines and vitamins to feel well or stay

well. However, any kind of medicine or vitamin can cause harm if taken in the wrong way or by the wrong person, even medicine bought without a prescription. It is important for parents, grandparents and caregivers to teach children about medicine safety to avoid accidental ingestions: ■ Talk to children about what medicine is and why you must be the one to give it to them.

■ Never tell children medicine is candy to get them to take it, even if your child does not like to take his or her medicine.

HEALTH ❃

❃

The Emily Post Institute offers the following etiquette tips to manage common situations where the flu virus might be spread from one person to another: n Share space, not the flu: Covering sneezes and coughs is a good habit all year.

The flu virus can spread up to six feet away from coughing, sneezing or even just talking. n Know when to take a sick day: The flu is highly contagious.

Knowing the symptoms of flu versus a cold is important so you know when to see a doctor.

Remember the acronym F.A.C.T.S. to recognize if you might have the flu (Fever, Aches, Chills, Tiredness with Sudden Onset). n In tight quarters: Consider saying, “I can see you’re not feeling well — would you mind covering your mouth when you cough?

Thanks.” Most people when prompted are eager to show good manners and do the right thing.
