ELMHURST – During the Elmhurst City Council’s last meeting of the year Monday, the council covered several ongoing topics including the North York Plan and stormwater detention proposals.

1. North York Plan Nik Davis of Houseal Lavigne presented a draft North York Plan to the City Council.

The draft took into account input collected through interviews, community and business workshops, a visioning workshop, steering committee and project website.

The Development, Planning and Zoning Committee then reviewed the plan before it was presented to the council.

The plan includes suggestions to make York Street between North and Grand avenues more pedestrian friendly and improve stormwater issues in the area, and it also discusses the types of development that might work best along the corridor.

As detailed as the plan gets by providing recommendations for public art and street lighting, Davis said the plan should act as a guide, but it must be flexible as the corridor changes over time.

Mayor Steve Morley asked council members to provide suggestions for the 87-page plan in the next few weeks.

what was originally budgeted for the Historical Museum, Elmhurst Heritage Foundation President Cathy Jordan voiced her disappointment with the temporary reduction.

The council plans to reinstate the funds if the museum completes its strategic plan and implements it by June 1.

Jordan read a letter she submitted by the foundation’s Board of Directors. The letter called the budget cut an “unusual approach” and supported the museum’s director and staff.

The foundation plans to continue working with the museum to complete its plan and prepare for the opening of the new exhibit “By All Accounts: The Story of Elmhurst,” expected to open Feb. 28.

Council Affairs and Administrative Services Committee recommending a 12 percent water rate increase and an 8 percent sewer treatment rate increase for 2015.

The report cited a record number of water main breaks during winter’s extreme cold, which cost the city in lost water and necessary repairs, as well as an 18 percent increase in water cost from the DuPage Water Commission as reasons for the increase. The report also recommended an increase to the capital investment recovery charge based on debt service, resulting in a total average increase for the average four-person household of 10.8 percent in 2015 for water and sewer charges.

3. Wilder Crossing

5. Stormwater

Zoning relief requested for a 31-condominium building that includes two penthouses, two retail spaces on the first floor, a mezzanine and 48 residential parking spaces on a double lot with addresses 195 and 197 N. Addison Ave. passed with an 11-3 vote.

Those aldermen who opposed the development pointed to concerns about the height and density, as well as the developer’s pending $1.2 million request for TIF assistance, suggesting the project is too large for the site.

Aldermen Michael Bram, Diane Gutenkauf and Marti Deuter voted against the zoning requests.

Elmhurst City Manager Jim Grabowski said city representatives have met with representatives from the Elmhurst Park District Board of Commissioners to further discuss stormwater detention projects.

The park board approved altered versions of the projects proposed by the city for York Commons and Golden Meadows Park, but the city has asked the board to reconsider the original York Commons plan.

As a result, the city is working to gather requested information about costs for various portions of the proposed project and other information for the park board to consider.

Grabowski said the city hopes to have the information to the park board in time for its Jan. 14, 2015, meeting.

2. Historical Museum budget After the City Council voted Dec. 1 to approve a 2015 budget that cut $125,000 from

4. Water rate The City Council approved a report from the Finance,

ELMHURST – The Elmhurst Art Museum’s new executive director started her new job this month.

Jenny M. Gibbs started her position Dec. 1 and brings with her more than 25 years of leader- Jenny M. ship in the non- Gibbs profit sectors of the arts, design and higher education. Most recently, she served as associate dean of graduate programs at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, according to a museum news release.

Before her job in Massachusetts, Gibbs was the executive director of the Lacoste School of the Arts in France and the director of outreach and special programs at New York University, the release stated.

Gibbs began her career as a curatorial research assistant at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, followed by five years at Christie’s Auctions and Private Sales as program manager for estates, appraisals and valuations and as head of the paintings department at Christie’s East. Gibbs holds a master’s degree in art history from New York University and a bachelor’s degree from Sarah Lawrence College, according to the release.

Building upon her previous experience, Gibbs will oversee all aspects of the Elmhurst Art Museum, including fund development, financial and strategic planning, staff management, marketing and community relations, the release stated.

In 2013, Gibbs moved to Chicago when her husband accepted the presidency of one of the City Colleges of Chicago. She and her husband live in Lincoln Park with their two children, according to the release.

The museum’s Board of Directors and staff extended their gratitude in the release to previous Director Phyllis O’Neill for her dedication, enthusiasm and expertise.

Elmhurst teen sacrifices birthday presents to help area food pantry

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – A typical 13-year-old girl might have a new cellphone, clothes or concert tickets on her birthday list, but Samantha Neely of Elmhurst asked for food donations rather than gifts for her 13th birthday.

“Instead of presents, I thought it would be nice to help people,” Samantha said.

Inspired by her friend Hannah Maloy who asked friends and family to collect school supplies to be sent to Costa Rica for her birthday, Samantha decided to harness the spirit of giving for the sake of the hungry.

Friends and family responded eagerly, bringing bags of food to her birthday party Nov. 28 at the York Civic Center.

“It was overwhelmingly a lot of food. I didn’t expect to collect so much food,” said Samantha, a seventh-grader at Bryan Middle School.

In total, Samantha collected 218 pounds of food for the Elmhurst-Yorkfield Food Pantry.

Samantha, who turned 13 on Nov. 12, is no stranger to helping others. She’s been volunteering with Access Sports –

“I like seeing all the children’s faces when they score a goal,” Samantha said.

When asked if she missed

her presents, Samantha said not at all. In fact, she plans to continue the food collection for her birthday next year.

“I think I’ll pretty much do it for as long as I have parties,” Samantha said.

HANDLE EYEWEAR WITH CARE It only makes sense to take good care of quality eyeglasses that play such a critical role in your life. With this in mind, whenever possible, rinse debris from your lenses with running water. If necessary, use a moisturizer-free soap to clean the lenses, and dry with a soft cotton cloth. Paper towels can leave fine scratches on lenses. Next, never place your eyeglasses on dashboards or other places that will expose them to high temperatures, which can cause some non-glass lenses to warp slightly. Plastic frames may lose their shape, and some coatings may crackle and peel. Finally, always use two hands to slide eyeglasses on and off, and never place glasses down on their front lens surface.

ELMHURST – The Elmhurst Swim Team will host a swim-a-thon Monday to raise funds for the team and the USA Swimming Foundation.

During the swim-a-thon, swimmers will have a twohour period in which to swim a maximum of 200 lengths.

Donors are encouraged to support athletes by pledging to support their efforts, either with a flat donation or a pledge for a certain amount of money for each length the swimmer completes, according to an Elmhurst Swim Team news release.

The swim team is a nonprofit founded in 1991 by coach Dave Davis. The swim-a-thon will provide funds to help offset pool rental fees, buy new equipment, provide scholarships for swimmers and cover meet costs for the team.

The Elmhurst Swim Team provides competitive swim training and competition to develop athletic and social abilities of children ages 4 to 18. Currently, 245 children from Elmhurst and surrounding suburbs swim for the team, the release stated.

In addition to raising funds for the team, 5 percent of the money raised will go back to the USA Swimming Foundation, according to the release.

Those interested in sponsoring a swimmer or learning more about the Elmhurst Swim Team may visit its website at swimest.org.

The swim-a-thon will begin at 6:30 a.m. at the York High School Aquatic Center.

Elmhurst paints York purple for 6-year-old with cancer

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS

Know more

mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – A shy smile spreads across Payton O’Brien’s face as the 6-year-old who is battling bone cancer thinks about the sea of purple that filled York High School on Saturday in Elmhurst and the cheers of “Payton Power” that echoed throughout the gym.

“It was just like a big hug around Payton and our family,” said Payton’s father, Brian.

The evening began when Elmhurst Fire Chief Jeff Bacidore arrived at Payton’s Elmhurst home with a convoy of fire trucks to take him, his sisters Briley and Avery and his friends to a York basketball game.

After a crowd of fans dressed in purple shirts with Payton’s name printed on them greeted him, the guest of honor toured both teams’ locker rooms. Payton received several gifts of signed sports memorabilia and got to watch the game on a courtside couch with his buddies. He was sworn in as an honorary firefighter, and Elmhurst Mayor Steve Morley even proclaimed it “Payton O’Brien Day.” Payton said the whole evening was very exciting, but he took very special note of one particular statement by the mayor.

“He said that for three days

Payton O’Brien (from left), 6, of Elmhurst; his buddies Danny Raible, 7, and Brady Krautkramer, 7, and Payton’s cousin Robert Steffes talk with Ronald McDonald on Saturday during the Paint the Gym Purple Relay for Life fundraiser at the Benet-York boys basketball game.

I can do whatever I want, eat whatever I want and stay up as late as I want,” Payton said, as he excitedly counted off the three opportunities on his fingers.

He’s decided to save those precious three days, but he already is imagining he might cash one in for a trip to Chuck E. Cheese and possibly a steak dinner.

“He has never once complained or said why is this happening to me,” Brian said about Payton’s attitude through his nearly year-long treatment.

It’s not hard to believe to anyone who’s met the young comedian. He’s much too busy reading his joke books and testing out new material on the nurses at Lurie Children’s Hospital or playing video games with his big brother Bennett to bother questioning the hand he’s been dealt.

But it’s a very tough hand.

Payton was diagnosed with osteosarcoma – bone cancer – in January after he started limping. A tumor in his right leg had already spread the cancer to his lung. In May, his leg

was amputated, and he’s been undergoing regular chemotherapy sessions for nearly a year.

Payton’s grandfather, Bob O’Brien, who had a leg amputated after a car accident, has taught Payton to be a master crutcher and coaches the first-grader on his golf swing.

Although Payton now has a prosthetic leg – complete with a Chicago Bulls graphic and Benny the Bull’s signature – he prefers golfing on one leg because then he doesn’t have to worry about his back foot when he swings.

The Cubs are one game away.

A fan will do anything to make sure they win the title. Anything.

‘Killing the Curse’ hits a home run.

When he’s finally done with his last two chemotherapy sessions, he’s planning on throwing a “No Mo’ Chemo” party.

The special Paint the Gym Purple event Saturday was a fundraiser for Elmhurst’s annual Relay for Life team, as purple is the color of cancer awareness, but in honor of Payton, it quickly evolved into much more.

The idea started with York varsity boys basketball coach Vince Doran’s suggestion to hold a game in honor of Payton, whose brothers Walker and Bennett play basketball for York. He asked Brian’s alma mater, Benet Academy, if the school wouldn’t mind giving up a home game to participate.

“It was really special to have it against Benet because it’s the kind of school that probably would have done this even if I wasn’t an alumn,” Brian said.

Payton’s classmates at Hawthorne Elementary School in Elmhurst spent the week before the game collecting change for Relay for Life in support of Payton, who only gets to attend class about half the time, making up most of his homework from the hospital.

“This was a great night that was much more important than just basketball. Payton is a hero in the community for a great reason, and it was cool to see him have a special night.

I’m sure he had a lot of fun,” Doran said.

Meeting Ronald McDonald and watching the clown do magic tricks was one of many highlights for Payton – a fellow magician – that night. At 6 years old, Payton’s had the opportunity to meet celebrities like Andrew Shaw of the Blackhawks and he’s even buddies with Benny the Bull of the Chicago Bulls, but to see the outpouring of support from his community was incredibly powerful, Brian said.

“There’s other people who have hardships and suffer from cancer, including other children, but for some reason this has struck a chord with the community,” Brian said.

Who benefits from minimum wage hike?

Aside from the most obvious answer, who do you think will benefit most from minimum wage increases in the city of Chicago and across the state of Illinois? If you said the same elected bodies that are responsible for determining that minimum wage, you are correct – at least according to one certified public accountant.

In his letter to the editor COMMUNITY in a recent issue of the ChiVOICE cago Sun-Times, a certified John R. public accountant reported Quigley Chicago’s recently approved minimum wage increase from $8.25 per hour to $13 – while boosting the full-time gross wages of a single mother with two children by $9,880 – also will generate $3,556 to the “government” in increased income taxes and reduced tax credits. The government’s 36-percent take will reduce that mother’s additional net income to $6,234. He did not estimate the government’s benefit from consumer-related taxes off an increase in the mother’s spending.

While I can’t vouch for the accuracy of his analysis, it could explain why 45 of 50 aldermen supported Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s plan, which reportedly will benefit more than 400,000 minimum wage earners. Unreported, for the most part, is the benefit to government of $1 billion without the stigma of raising taxes.

And Chicago’s minimum wage legislation still might face a court challenge from the business community or get capped by the state legislature.

At the state level, the Democratically controlled Illinois General Assembly adjourned from its December lame duck session without acting on outgoing Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn’s twoyear request to raise the minimum wage to $10 – or even $11 as revised by state Sen. Kimberly Lightford, D-Maywood – before Republican Bruce Rauner takes office in January.

Illinois’ minimum wage is already the highest in the Midwest and $1 more than the federal minimum wage. If adjusted by the Consumer Price Index, 1938’s federal minimum wage of 25 cents equals $4.16 in 2014 dollars.

Despite poor voter turnout in the Nov. 4 midterm election, four states passed minimum wage increases, and Illinois’ advisory referendum for $10 per hour by Jan. 1 won with 67 percent of the vote statewide, 87 percent in the city of Chicago and even 64 percent in DuPage County.

The CPA believes minimum wage hikes are “a huge boon for government coffers ultimately funded by consumers.” So, what do you think?

Ben Hoffmann (right), 9, of Elmhurst serves his first customer, James Sanders, 8, at Ben’s Chocolate Stand fundraiser Nov. 22 at the Hoffmann home.

Here’s to the power of chocolate and the spirit of a 9-year-old brain cancer survivor. Ben Hoffmann of Elmhurst was diagnosed in 2005 when he was just 5 months old, but an MRI scan in November confirmed he’s now been cancer-free for five years. To celebrate, Ben and his family hosted the inaugural Ben’s Chocolate Stand last month, selling hot chocolate and chocolate treats outside their home. The effort has raised more than $7,700, and donations are still being accepted. All funds raised will benefit the Pediatric Brain Tumor Program at Lurie Children’s Hospital, where Ben received his treatment.

Sharing the stories that impact the people who live and work in Elmhurst is our passion, and it’s an honor to be part of the community. As we prepare to gather with family and friends, we wish everyone a happy holidays and new year, and we look forward to experiencing the stories of 2015 with you.

Reflecting on Topinka I’ll miss not encountering Judy Baar Topinka at estate sales on Saturday mornings. It was always nice to see her little van with the “Topinka” license plate and know she’d be there with a cheerful smile. Judy Baar Topinka was one of a kind and one of the best things that ever happened to Illinois “politics.”

Miss ya Judy Baar. RIP.

Riots were shameful In response to whomever said the police officer should have been charged was completely wrong.

The grand jury saw all the evidence and made sure all bases were covered. They took their time.

It’s shameful that it was turned into a riot situation. Too many people nowadays are just looking to start trouble. The people that really suffered were the people who lived in the community. The lost property, stores in their own backyards. The police officer’s life is ruined because of the incident and will live with this tragedy the rest of his life. Now more than ever police have to be very careful on what they do, especially when race is involved. If the shoe was on the other foot, you think there would

Commuter tax in Chicago?

Here we go again, yet another politician in Chicago calling for a tax on commuters whom work in Chicago? Why don’t the mayors in the surrounding suburbs offer the same tax to Chicagoans who commute to our towns?

That way we could generate tax revenue to hold down our own town’s taxes or increase spending where it’s needed. Suburban mayors shouldn’t be intimidated

by Chicago and should stand up for the citizens in their communities. The number of people living in Chicago and working in the ssuburbs could be a great new source of income, too. Sad that this country is coming to such methods to raise money. adno=S0250923

Our final plate was the chicken-fried chicken. It was, by far, the largest item we ordered, and could be considered a full-sized meal. A chicken breast – flattened, breaded and fried – lay atop mashed potatoes and was topped with a fried egg and white country gravy. My companion devoured nearly the entire

plate without speaking, only smiling between bites.

While we were a little fry heavy in our order, there were plenty of selections to satisfy any appetite, including the pan-seared scallops, Gulf shrimp brochette, grilled romaine salad, shrimp and grits, and a grilled portobello, zucchini and squash salad.

The website notes the kitchen uses grass-fed beef and wildcaught seafood.

My companion was a little worried that small plates would mean certain hunger after the meal was finished, but that was not the case.

Another visit to Union House American Kitchen is certainly on the horizon.

WINFIELD – It was a sunny and chilly December day when my companion and I decided to head to Union House American Kitchen in Winfield for lunch.

The space was inviting as soon as we stepped inside, where the high, white-painted wood ceilings and decor felt reminiscent of historic Americana. The lighting fixtures over the tables were styled after old-fashioned bulbs, and behind a long, wooden bar that could easily seat 15, was a chalkboard with a plethora of craft beers and drink specials.

The restaurant is a smallplate gastropub that our waiter explained focuses on locally harvested and seasonal ingredients.

Since we were first-timers at the restaurant and newbies to the small-plate scene, our waiter suggested we order several selections to share.

Menu items range from salads to seafood and steak, so after much discussion, my companion and I selected four plates to split between us.

I couldn’t resist ordering the fried pickles as an appetizer. Silver-dollar-sized slices of dill pickle were coated in American Patriot beer batter and then fried. A creamy avocado and buttermilk sauce accompanied the half-dozen slices for dipping. Not greasy, they were absolutely delicious, with the sauce offering a cool complement.

Crab hush puppies called out to my seafood-aficionado companion. They were made with dried corn and crabmeat shaped into ping-pong-ballsized portions and fried. The four hush puppies resting on a sweet and spicy honey pepper sauce were very tasty, and the crabmeat was fully present, not hidden behind the corn.

A bourbon pork skewer was next. The tender pork was glazed in garlic and brown sugar and had a side of sriracha cream for dipping.

Again, the pairing of the sauce with the entree proved to be perfect.

York boys, girls searching for consistency

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – Consistency is an important and elusive trait for high school basketball teams, and both York boys and girls are trying to find it.

The Dukes hosted a Pack the Place night Saturday with a girls and boys varsity doubleheader. Both teams lost to quality opposition.

The girls opened with a 5843 loss against undefeated Lyons Township. The boys lost 39-31 against Benet a day after beating Glenbard West 44-42 in a West Suburban Silver game.

The boys played without leading scorer Jayvon Thomas in both games. York led Benet 10-4 after a quarter, but scored just three points in the second quarter and trailed the entire second half.

“It was a good weekend for us,” coach Vince Doran said.

“We played very well to beat Glenbard West Friday. You know [Benet] is going to be a tough one, but I thought our kids battled. It was a fourpoint game and we chipped back into it, but it got away from us.”

Doran remains confident that his young team will improve throughout the season.

He complimented the play of juniors Jack Julian and Jack Morrissey and the junior class in general.

“Our junior group is very good,” Doran said. “They’re competitors and they’re going to get better. This weekend was probably the first time they played in front of large crowds and we had a great crowd Friday and a great crowd [Saturday]. You have to get comfortable, but those guys are all good players and I’m very happy with that class.

They’re going to have big games in the future.”

Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com

York’s Walker O’Brien puts up a shot Satruday against a pair of Benet players. O’Brien’s brother, Payton, was the guest of honor at the Paint the Gym Purple Relay for Life fundraiser during the game, which Benet won.

York picked up road wins at Oak Park-River Forest and St. Ignatius last week before the loss against LT. Then on Monday, the Dukes beat Glenbard West 47-28 to improve to 6-4 overall and 3-2 in the West Suburban Silver heading into Oswego East’s holiday tournament.

“I thought Jess Bianchi came to play,” coach John Constable said. “She’s had some up and down games, too, but when it was a big stage and a big game for us and we needed her to play well, she played well. Now we just have to get everybody on board. I think it’s going to be a process, but come the end of the season I think we’re going to be pretty darn good.”

Bianchi scored 12 points and Sarah Milkowski added 10 in the win against the Hilltoppers.

Seniors Alyssa Kovatchis, Jamie Kovatchis, Sarah Milkowski and Bianchi and junior Kelly Polte have formed a veteran starting lineup. A number of players have played big roles at times off the bench this season as well.

“We had some players come off the bench and play huge minutes for us and make some big shots,” Constable said.

“It’s good to see players come off and contribute and know that they’re out there and they have a role to do.”

Blazers basketball takes home tournament title SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Erica Benson - ebenson@shawmedia.com

IC Catholic’s Will Lyles squeezes past two Riverside Brookfield defenders Dec. 12. The Knights lost to the Bulldogs, a Class 4A team, for the second of back-to-back losses. ferent Knights scored in double figures led by Lyles’ 17 points.

Epting scored 14 points, Troy Burrows added 13 and Austin Reed contributed 11 points.

“Jordan Rowell has been playing through some pain and he’s really working hard,” Tyrrell said. “Will Lyles has been doing an outstanding job battling for us. I think we have some unique matchups that we can give some teams some mismatches. We’ve still yet to play a 2A school. The goal is still a long playoff run and we got to work towards that and keep that in our sights.”

Addison Trail’s boys basketball team is on a five-game winning streak.

AT won its own pre-holiday invite and also picked up a West Suburban Gold win against Downers Grove South. Jaavion Bradley scored 21 points and Taylor White scored 14 against the Mustangs.

ELMHURST – IC Catholic boys basketball has been put through a grinder early in the season with the hopes of the tough schedule paying off come playoff time.

For the second straight Friday, the Knights took on a bigger school with a good program and came out on the losing end. IC lost its home opener against Riverside Brookfield 69-42 Dec. 12 after dropping a 57-36 game at St. Patrick a week earlier.

IC had opened the season with four straight wins and rebounded from the losses with a 61-46 win against Fenton on Tuesday, but the two losses show the Knights still have a ways to go.

“It’s tough, we have to learn to come together as a team being so young,” coach T.J. Tyrrell said. “We’re starting two sophomores and three juniors and we’re still looking for a leader to step up.”

Junior Rhashaun Epting scored 13 against the Bulldogs, but had just two in the first half as the Knights trailed by 23 at the break. Junior Will Lyles scored 10 points and sophomore Jordan Rowell had eight points and nine rebounds.

“Obviously RB is a top 20 team, a big school, so it was a little bit humbling,” Tyrrell said. “We know we have a good

A few years ago, Grace was watching the Miss America pageant and thought “I can do that!” So she ran for Miss Chicago’s Outstanding Teen… and won.

Grace has had numerous speaking engagements at D.A.R.E. graduations and was asked to be the State Representative for the Advisory Board.

FREDDIE MAC

A Look Back at Five Predictions for 2014 originations did not offset the dramatic drop in refinance activity in 2014, and we expect an eight percent further decline in single family originations in 2015.

As anticipated, the rental market continued to lead the housing recovery in 2014. Rental vacancies fell to the lowest level since 2000, absorption rates on new apartment rentals rose, and developers started the largest number of rental apartments in 25 years. Strong fundamentals point to further origination gains in the multifamily sector over the Outlook Highlights next two years and up about 14 percent in 2015 over 2014.

Most expected homes sales to see healthy gains in 2014, Contrary to expectations, mortgage rates drifted lower but a weaker than expected economy and harsh winter had in 2014 with the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage a significant drag on sales in the first half of the year.

“The recent drop in oil prices has been an unexpected boon for consumers’ pocketbooks and most businesses.

Consumer Tips

Beyond curb appeal: When it pays to stand out

By Laura Firszt, Networx

P

opular wisdom says that when you put your home up for sale, it should be as bland and beige as possible. Well, like a lot of popular wisdom, this idea is only partially true. A low-key look helps potential buyers envision how their own possessions will fit into the house, but a dash of zest will make your property stand out from the crowd in a good way.

How curb appeal can pay of Although real estate sales have started to recover from the financial crash of 2007-08, in many areas, there is still a buyer’s market.

The result is that would-be homeowners tend to be faced with a plethora of choices. You may be happily imagining house hunters who’ll spend hours oohing and aahing over your home’s many exceptional qualities. Truth to tell, your abode is likely to be just one in a long list of properties they look at. It takes careful planning and efort on your part to make your home stand out from the crowd.

But it can pay of tremendously, in terms of heightened buyer interest and, ideally, a quick sale at close to asking price.

Basic quick fixes The first visual impression of your house people receive is what they see from the street, so don’t neglect the basic quick fixes. Rule No. 1 is this: Make sure that that future buyers know which house they should be focusing on. Mark your home clearly with attractive house numbers that are easily visible by day or night, in the sunshine or a Washington State rainstorm. While you’re at it, make like a handyman and hang up a brand new mailbox to match.

Speaking of night, placing a few solar lights is a way to brighten up the path to your property without spending a fortune on electric bills. Once you’ve virtually led folks to your front door, how about making them want to walk in by painting it a warm, welcoming color? A touch of natural material such as unpainted wood or stone adds an appealingly earthy vibe to your foyer.

When house hunters cross your threshold, the best way to continue your carefully cultivated positive impression is by making sure everything — everything!

— is fresh and clean. Even the cake of soap and roll of toilet paper in the bathroom should be brand new.

BIGSTOCK/MORGUE FILE PHOTOS

Going further Know your audience. For example, in a town with a high proportion of late middle-aged to elderly residents, extras that will make your home outstanding — and sought after — are apt to include a zero-step front entrance, ground-floor bathroom and an open plan design ofering plenty of room to maneuver with a walker or wheelchair.

If you are planning to do some renovations in order to help sell your home, don’t guess; ask your real estate broker where your remodeling dollars would be best invested.

Know yourself. Filling your yard with attractive landscaping will add curb appeal, but it’s a time-consuming, expensive project.

You can achieve a similar efect by adding some carefully chosen outdoor potted plants to your walkway and porch. For a potential buyer who does not have a green thumb (or big bucks to spend on a landscaping service), this may actually enhance the appeal or your property.

When it comes to personality, downplay your own but play up your home’s. Many advisers on curb appeal recommend tucking away any personal items before a scheduled open house. That’s great advice … as far as it goes. However, a moderate amount of interesting, unusual wall art or furniture does have a valuable role to play. Use it to draw attention to attractive features of your home.

That sweet little balcony will look all the sweeter bedecked with an exquisite wrought iron table for two. An eye-catching painting at the top of your stairs just may encourage visitors to explore the second floor. And a charming vase filled with fresh-picked flowers underlines the fact that there’s a lovely garden just outside.

Clever holiday entertaining shortcuts big on taste, low on stress Entertaining done easy with 4 simple tips

I

t’s the season for entertaining. Between the holidays, family gatherings and just needing an excuse to socialize during the long winter months, you’ll probably be organizing several fun parties and gatherings at your home.

If you’re dreading the season because it feels like entertaining is so much work, the following tips will help you make this holiday season and beyond a breeze. * Make lists - If you’re a mobile device user, get a list started for everything you need. Any time you think of something, be sure to add it to the list immediately, or send yourself a reminder email so you can add it at a later time. These lists will help you keep everything organized and remind you of what you have left to achieve so you aren’t scrambling to make an appetizer or clean the bathroom at the last minute. * Take short cuts - Of course you want to show off your cooking skills, but that doesn’t mean you need to slave for hours in the kitchen preparing foods. Intricately decorated sugar cookies are as beautiful as they are delicious, but sometimes simple shortcuts - like making bars rather than cookies - can make an event much less stressful. Here’s a quick recipe from Simply Organic. * Ask for help - Just because you’re hosting the party doesn’t mean you need to do all the work. When issuing invitations, specify what kind of a party it is. A potluck is great for family gatherings and parties. Just provide a list of items people should bring on the invite. Once the party is underway, ask a friend to be in charge of keeping drinks filled, and have another friend monitor the music station, so you can enjoy the party as well. * Keep it simple - Often the simplest food options are the healthiest - something your guests might appreciate during this season of indulgence. For example, a fresh fruit or veggie tray is extremely simple to put together, because you won’t have to spend time in front of the stove or mix ingredients to bake in the oven. Continue to keep it simple, but add trendy touch by trading out the ranch dressing for a Greek yogurt dip or homemade hummus made with Simply Organic seasoning packets for additional flavor for your fresh fruit and veggie spread.

No matter the type of party you are hosting this season, a few trendy touches and clever food shortcuts will wow guests and keep them raving long after it has ended. Above all else, have fun and enjoy these special moments with loves ones because the memories will last a lifetime.

Sugar Cookie Bars Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 25 minutes Ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar 1 egg 1 egg yolk 2 teaspoon Simply Organic vanilla extract

Frosting: 1/3 cup butter, softened 2 cups powdered sugar 2 tablespoons milk 1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic almond extract Sliced almonds

Sugar Cookie Bars directions: Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. Line with parchment paper so the paper overhangs the edges.

In a large bowl, stir the flour with the baking powder and salt; set aside. In a separate bowl, beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Slowly add the flour mixture until fully incorporated. Press mixture into bottom of prepared pan. Chill for 30 minutes and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until set in the center and edges are lightly golden. Cool completely before frosting.

Frosting directions: Using an electric mixer, whip butter until light and fluffy. Beat in powdered sugar, milk and almond extract on low speed until smooth. Spread over cooled cookie bars. Sprinkle with almonds. Cut into 32 pieces.

LIQUIDATION SALE! EVERYTHING GOES!

Create a happy homemade holiday

QUITTING O BUSINESS!

ne of the best ways to kick off the holiday season is to decorate.

And while it’s easy to load your cart with beautiful decor from your favorite store, Christmas is more personal when decorations are homemade.

No time you say? Between planning dinners for the family and throwing cocktail parties for friends, it can be overwhelming. But it is possible to survive it (and enjoy it) by keeping everything simple. This season, let your creative instincts shine through as you watch your mantels, stairwells, and tables come to holiday life, with ideas like these:

Create a magical mantle

OFF The Original Price

Starting Wed. 12/10/14 our entire inventory is being reduced to 1/2 off the original price!

Contest ends and prizes awarded 3pm Sat. 12/27/14 Hurry in for the best selection!

For most families, the living room is where gifts are exchanged, holiday movies are enjoyed and stories are shared gathered by the fireplace - a major focal point in the room. Give this cozy centerpiece a warm new look by creating a decorative display for your mantel.

Draping a festive garland is one way to achieve a distinctive display.

Do-it-yourself banners and garland have become increasingly popular as a great way to personalize your decor.

To make your own, start with a heavy fabric, like burlap or the kind used for upholstery, and cut enough pennants for your favorite holiday saying, like “Let it Snow.” Then using a snowflake stencil, spray paint the pattern with a silver color. Krylon Metallic Brilliant Silver, for example, works very well on fabric. Spray paint chipboard letters in a bright white.

Once everything dries, spell out your message, one letter per pennant, and adhere the letters. Adorn the banner with plastic snowflakes and holly sprigs to finalize the festive look.

Trim a tree like a pro

The Christmas tree is another major focal point in your living room during the holidays. If you’re tired of the same old display year after year, give the tree a fresh look by changing up the ornaments and adding a theme.

Start by choosing a specific color scheme, such as red and gold.

Don’t have enough decorations to match your new theme? It’s easy and affordable to create your own by using items already around the house.

For example, use bulbs from an old string of lights to create a whimsical decoration. Remove bulbs from the strand and spritz the inside of the bulb with Krylon ColorMaster Paint + Primer spray paint in cherry red, emerald green and global blue. Roll the bulb around to distribute the paint for a beautiful translucent look. Add a little glitz with Krylon Glitter Spray in resplendent red, glamorous green and magical multicolor to the outside of the bulb for a festive look, and top off with your favorite embellishments like ribbon or bells. You can even spray paint old ornaments so they fit into your new color scheme.

Once your new decor is complete, hang ornaments and lights on your tree before displaying it for the whole family to enjoy.

Add elegant table toppers

If you are hosting get-togethers for family and friends, add a sparkle to your table. Not sure where to start? First, choose two or three colors.

Select a table cloth, table runner or placemats in your color palette and consider the arrangement for the middle of the table. Try replacing the traditional red and green with gold and silver accessories - candles, napkin rings, small figures in the plates and other decorative accents. Include candles so the flickering flames can create a warm atmosphere. Even casually scattered pine cones, fir branches, red roses or poinsettias will add a special touch on the table.

It’s easy to make your fine china the highlight of the dinner; but this year, try making your placemats the conversation starter by utilizing antique sheet music - which can be found at old book stores or simply printed at home. These sheets will make for a chic and unconventional base for any place setting.

Remember, it doesn’t have to be a stressful time of year, with a little effort and creativity you can turn take your holiday decor from ho-hum to homey in no time. More information and additional project ideas can be found at www.krylon.com.

ift-giving doesn’t come naturally to everyone. If you’re struggling to find the perfect present, or if you just need some inspiration, Los Angeles-based celebrity stylist Lawrence VonRompf has tips to help you please all the women on your holiday shopping list.

What makes a great gift? - A little pampering goes a long way.

Put together a sampling of her favorite bath and body products and fragrances and personalize it to show you put thought into the gift.

For example, include a monogrammed item like a scented candle or put all the products in a monogrammed gift box.

For the fashionista who has everything - Don’t waste time and money trying to find the latest and greatest in style - she probably already has it. Instead, VonRumpf suggests enhancing her collection with nail polish or lipstick in the season’s hottest colors and shades.

“Nail polishes make great gifts because the unique colors add a personal touch,” he says. “I love the colors in the Limited-Edition Mary Kay At Play Hail to the Nails Mini Nail Trio for this season. On the New York Fashion Week runways, navy blue was clearly the new black and Mary Kay’s nail lacquer in Inky Blue aligns perfectly with this trend!”

Match her personality - It’s easier to find the right gift if you know her tastes in fashion, style, music or even favorite colors, VonRumpf says. Also consider her interests - would she prefer a spa day or a camping trip? A good rule of thumb is to choose a gift she wouldn’t expect - or purchase herself.

For the woman who does everything - Moms are the epitome of hardworking women and deserve a little “me” time. Surprise her - or another under appreciated woman in your life- with a pampering gift to make her feel special and loved.

“I’d like to give my mom two things: a chance to unwind and time we can spend together. My favorite product for her is the Limited-Edition Mary Kay Pomegranate Satin Hands Pampering Set,” VonRumpf says. “For a personal touch, pair the set with a gift card or a trip to her favorite nail salon and get a manicure together.”

Under the mistletoe - Whether it’s a budding romance or a longterm relationship, surprise her with something thoughtful and personal. A scented gift works perfectly, as it offers a touch of personality and will also remind her of you every time she smells it.

“Mary Kay’s Limited-Edition Winter Wishes Fragrance Wand has citrus, jasmine and snow apple notes, so it is festive for the season but also smells great on anyone,” says VonRumpf. “The fragrance wand is easy to travel with, so for a truly memorable gift, I suggest pairing it with a little weekend getaway for you and that special someone.”

With these tips, finding the perfect gift for the lucky ladies on your list will be a cinch this holiday season. So get your shopping done early, relax and wait to see the look of joy on her face when she opens your present!

Holiday treats

The holidays are here at last, and that means tasty treats! Eating cookies and other baked goods is nice, but it’s even better when you do the work to prepare them yourself. Follow these tips for a safe and fun baking experience.

Do your prep work COLOR IT IN, TOO, IF YOU WISH! Send us your drawings — we love to see them!

You might be tempted to grab a bowl and start throwing ingredients right in, but it’s important to first make a plan. The most important thing is to ask an adult for permission to use the kitchen. Read your recipe carefully, making sure you have all the ingredients. Wear close-fitting clothing that won’t accidentally catch fire, and have oven mitts handy.

Follow the recipe The cool thing about baking is, it’s actually science: chemistry, to be exact.

And just like any chemistry experiment, you have to mix and prepare your ingredients in a specific way to get

them to do what you want.

Your recipe might tell you to mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another and then combine, and it’s important to do that.

Be safe We’ve already said to wear close-fitting clothing and have oven mitts handy. But fire and burns are only a few of the dangers you might find in your kitchen. Don’t use sharp knives unless you’ve been given permission. Use a step stool or ask an adult to help you reach high shelves. And if there is a fire, don’t try to put it out yourself. An adult will know the best thing to do.

Don’t forget to clean up Once your treat is baking, you can take a few minutes to clean up. Wash your dishes or put them in the dishwasher, and wipe down the counter. When your food is done, you’ll be able to enjoy it in a clean kitchen. Just make sure to keep an eye on that oven timer so your treat doesn’t burn.

Activity Try this recipe for cinnamon swirl bread. It’s easy and quick and uses simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen!

• 2 cups lour • 1 tablespoon baking powder • ½ teaspoon salt • 1 1/3 cup white sugar, divided • 1 egg • 1 cup milk • 1/3 cup vegetable oil • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl combine lour, baking powder, salt and 1 cup sugar. Add egg, milk and oil to lour mixture.

2. Stir until just moistened.

Pour half of the batter into pan.

3. Sprinkle with cinnamon and remaining 1/3 cup sugar. (You can mix together cinnamon and sugar beforehand.)

4. Cover with remaining batter.

Top with more cinnamon/sugar if desired.

5. Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.

6. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. You can choose to either let it sit overnight, or you can eat it while it’s still warm.

f you make New Year’s resolutions, you’re not alone. About half of Americans make special goals for each new year, according to University of Scranton research. Unfortunately, you’re also not alone if you break them, as only 8 percent of people are successful in achieving their resolution. Why do so many people fail, and furthermore, what’s the secret to success?

“The start of a new year is not powerful enough to help you continue to make the best decisions,” says Dr. Chris Mohr, a fitness and nutritional expert who consults for television, print and radio outlets throughout the country. “People need to define their ‘why’ if they’re going to make a permanent change.”

If your reason for changing your life is for your mental and physical well-being, you understand your ‘why.’ But instead of selecting a huge resolution that will take months or years of dedication to achieve, why not focus on small things you can easily implement that will compound to have a dramatic effect?

“Start with one small change,” says Dr. Mohr. “You don’t have to wait for the right time, right date, right day, event, etc. Start now and start small. Then work your way up with small, daily habits.” He recommends five, fail-safe goals that are surprisingly simple and will still have a big impact on your overall health and wellness:

Just one or two handfuls of raw nuts a day can help control your caloric intake!

Almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans - all are great options that will fill you up without the extra oil and salt, plus they keep your energy high.

3. Move more every day You don’t need to join a gym or make a dramatic fitness goal - just resolve to move around more every day, particularly if you have a sedentary job. The average adult sits for 15 hours a day, not including sleeping! Take a walk over lunch, park in the back of the parking lot or opt for the stairs over the elevator; it all adds up when done daily. If you find yourself forgetting, set an alarm on your phone or computer to go off every two hours as a reminder to take a 10-minute move-and-groove break.

4. Take a Nordic Naturals omega-3 supplement Commit to taking one supplement in the new year: omega-3s. People all across the world don’t get enough omega-3, and correcting this can drastically reduce the risk of disease and mortality. A Harvard study found up to 96,000 people in the United States die each year from insufficient omega-3 intake. Omega-3 fats impact every single cell in the body and because they are essential fatty acids, they can’t be self-produced and must come from your diet. Select a pure omega-3 supplement like Nordic Naturals, which is produced without contaminants or impurities for superior quality.

1. Include lean protein with every single meal Protein is an important part of balanced nutrition, but many people go without it, particularly for breakfast and lunch. Data suggests that 20-30 grams of protein daily helps you feel full and maintain muscle mass. While chicken, pork and lean beef are protein-rich foods, meat isn’t the only option. For example, a half cup of 5. Turn off electronics and tune into life beans contains as much protein as 1 ounce of broiled steak. Other meat-free protein Your health and wellness go beyond what you eat and how much you exercise. sources include soy, yogurt and eggs.

Modern life is busy, and it’s easy to get distracted by email and mobile devices.

Resolve to turn off your electronics at least once a day to focus on two things: 2. Make raw nuts your snack of choice yourself and your loved ones. It’s easy to lose sight of what’s really important, like When hunger pangs strike, it’s too easy to head to the vending machine or friends, kids, your spouse and even you. Take time every day to tune out of the reach for prepackaged sweets. To keep hunger at bay and give your body wholeelectronic stimuli and focus on things you’re grateful for - perhaps quiet moments some nutrients that truly satisfy, keep several jars of raw nuts nearby for snacking. by yourself, belly laughs with your kids or a tender hug from your partner.

argain hunting is practically a sport, especially during the holiday shopping season. Deloitte’s 2014 annual holiday survey predicts the average American will drop nearly $1,300 this holiday season. With that level of spending in mind, planning to save real money elsewhere is crucial to managing a household’s bottom line.

Promotions such as standard Black Friday deals or free holiday shipping are nice but often don’t add up very quickly.

Huge value can be found on big-ticket items since their need can be anticipated months ahead. Purchasing them seasonally or via yearend clearance sales can provide savvy consumers with hundreds or thousands of dollars in savings.

Here are a few examples of products that fall into each category:

Year-end closeouts

* Cars. With the next year’s models already on lots for a number of months, dealers are anxious to move cars from the previous year.

Moreover, December is their last chance to improve year-end sales numbers - whether at the dealer or individual salesperson level. * Flooring. The end of the year is a great time to buy new hardwood flooring. Suppliers and mills often assess their inventory at this time and clear out product lines before the end of the year. Stores such as Lumber Liquidators purchase these products at discounted rates and pass the options and savings directly to consumers, resulting in a great deal that can also increase the value of a home.

Sa!e After 38 years, East Queen Fine Jewelry is CLOSING THE DOORS FOREVER and must liquidate the entire inventory Zh ][i dinicYm o[j kVXWZ\ jiXeg[X^

%

Seasonal purchases

* Gas grills and air conditioners. Stores may offer deep discounts on off-season products such as air conditioners and gas grills. This rule of thumb is particularly valuable for people who live in cold weather climates, where summer goods become especially obsolete during the long winter months.

* Furniture. The holiday season brings sales and promotions at many furniture stores on living and dining room items as people are preparing for holiday entertaining. In addition, outdoor furniture is generally at its best price due to it being out of season. * Boats. Boat dealers are often trying to move inventory during the winter season, which gives the buyer an upper hand in negotiating prices. The off-season is also a popular time for boat shows, where dealers often offer their best prices of the year.

No matter a consumer’s methodology, a little planning goes a long way in finding bargains. There are very helpful websites - such as www.dealnews.com - that do a great job staying on top of deals both large and small. Online forums and traditional word of mouth can also assist in the hunt.

he days are flying quickly past, and the holiday season will be over before you know it. If you haven’t completed - or even started - your holiday gift shopping yet, don’t worry; there’s still plenty of time to get everything accomplished.

First, be sure to find an idea for everyone on your list before you even think about shopping. With your ideas written down on a piece of paper, you’ll be efficient in checking each and every name off your list. If the ideas are causing you the most problems, try an Internet search.

Keywords to use can include “gifts for mom” or “musical gifts for a teenage boy.” And if your list includes people with hobbies, be sure to try an Internet search using those keywords as well.

Since you’re already at the computer looking for ideas, you might as well continue using it to make your purchase.

There’s a good chance you can find the same item for sale on several different vendor sites. A quick online search will help you find the item for the best price, and you might also discover you can get the present gift wrapped as well.

When comparing prices, be sure to confirm that the vendor can ship your gift on time, what the cost is for shipping, and whether the company has a return policy.

You also can go online to find excellent discounts and coupons for the items on your list. For example, Ebates. com provides discounts and coupons for vendors, and also rewards you with cash back on your purchases once you’ve finished your shopping. So not only are you able to find the item you wish to purchase with a free shipping offer or at a discounted price, but you’ll also receive a percentage of your purchase as cash back to be used however you want.

Before you finalize your purchase, make certain it will arrive before the holiday. Online retailers will provide you with last-minute shipping information so you will know when it’s too late. You’ll also know if you need to pay more for a faster shipping service. Websites like Ebates often have discounts on expedited shipping. The good news is, if you ship the present online while sitting at your computer at home or at the office, you can avoid the long holiday lines at the post office.

If you haven’t started your holiday shopping yet, your secret is safe. With these tips, you can check every name off your list with minimal effort and know that every gift will be delivered in time for Christmas day.
