Hinsdale writer keeps ‘em laughing

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com

HINSDALE – Some days writing can be as easy as cutting butter with a knife, and other days it just feels like trying to run a mile through the creamy spread.

For a few of the lucky ones on Earth, as is the case with Christina Honan, writing just seems to come naturally as she’s always had an interest in the art even at a young age.

“I’ve been doing [writing] now since college,” said the Hinsdale resident. “I’m super lucky that people pay me to put words next to each other.”

Even though Honan has always written for her school newspapers, she never classified herself as a “serious” reporter.

After graduating from journalism school at the University of Missouri, Honan took writing classes at Second City in Chicago where her comedic writing eventually took off. She met other writers and performers as part of the comedy group, “Hot Town Comedy.”

“It just ended up being kind of like a magical thing, like we all just got along so well, almost to the point where our teacher was kind of freaked out by us,” Honan said.

Honan and the rest of the group have put on two comedy shows since meeting in January, which includes sketches that draw on social satire, historical comedy and real-life scenarios, such as kids who have never met texting each other.

“It was so great because it’s such a crazy world where people can be so competitive and it was great to find a cooperative group that want-

ed the best for the show,” she said.

“It’s so funny, if you ask anyone of us what our favorite sketch was from the last show, almost 100 percent of the time it’s someone else’s, it’s not your own stuff.”

Honan said it’s been a thrill for the group to perform for live audiences as it also helps her writing and the actors get better moving forward.

“Normally you’re just sitting by yourself in your room at your computer hoping people think this is funny, but all of it was recorded so when I was editing this time to make something a little shorter I’m watching the video on YouTube and was like, ‘No one laughed there, better get rid of that,’” she said.

Hot Town Comedy will now perform at the 13th annual Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival in Chicago from Jan. 9 to 19. This year,

150 troupes were selected, involving 1,000 artists performing more than 170 shows.

For as much work as it’s been, it’s been a dream for Honan to go to a job that can make her laugh every day and see that reflected in the audience.

“It’s hilarious because putting on a show there’s plenty of work that goes into it, but it’s so funny any time I feel even remotely stressed about it,” she said. “You take a step back and you’re like, ‘oh I’m writing the dumbest jokes and I really can’t be that stressed.’”

dciamprone@shawmedia.com OAK BROOK – A 19-yearold woman who died after falling off the back of a truck in Oak Brook on Dec. 22 was identified by the DuPage County Coroner’s office.

Stephanie Siers of Carpentersville was working on the back of a truck when she fell and struck her head around 1 p.m. near 22nd Street and Clearwater Drive.

The woman was unresponsive and lying in the road when the Oak Brook police and fire departments responded to the scene. She was taken to Elmhurst Hospital where she later died, according to a news release from the Oak

Brook Police Department.

Police said Siers worked for the Tovar Company of East Dundee and was assisting with removing snow and ice from a nearby business property. The driver of the truck, who reported the incident and remained on the scene, was questioned and released without charges.

“It’s really just a very tragic accident,” said Officer Ben Kadolph.

The investigation into the accident was concluded and it was determined there was no basis for any criminal charges, according to the release. The case was forwarded to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for review.

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Hinsdale is known throughout the western suburbs for its quaint, small town charm, but over the years, it’s been a gradual yet noticeable change when it comes to the landscape.

While 2013 was just the start of some major projects, 2014 will be the result.

“One of the things we’re committed to doing is redeveloping the downtown,” said Village President Tom Cauley.

“We’ve got the project started on First and Garfield, which has stood empty for many, many Tom years, at least Cauley six years, and has been the subject of litigation. We’ve also started the construction on the cancer treatment center on Ogden Avenue and we finished the Burlington wall, which we just have to put in the landscaping.”

Much of the catalyst for Hinsdale’s change can be traced back to the recession six years ago, which Cauley said played a role in new construction and business coming to the village.

“It started in 2008 and I think we’re starting to come out of that,” he said. “We’ve been able to pick up business every year since 2008, but I’m hopeful we’ll have even more pickup going forward.”

Cauley said in 2014, resi-

dents can expect the village to continue to fix roads and sewers, keep costs down in the village and continue to revitalize the business areas, which includes the downtown, areas on Ogden Avenue and Grant Square.

It’s these types of projects that have also been part of Cauley’s goals for the village and something he hopes to continue. He called 2013 a successful year, which saw the resurfacing or reconstruction of about five miles of roads, the replacement of one mile of sewers, the installation of one mile of new water mains and the continued work on Oak Street Bridge.

“In addition to doing that we’ve raised the reserve from what it had been when I took office in 2009 at 16 percent to 32 percent,” he said.

Cauley said the village also received nearly $250,000 in grants last year, which have been used to improve Katherine Legge Memorial Park, resurface the Highland train station parking lot and plant new trees.

While 2014 is only a few days old, Hinsdale residents may already be looking forward to 2015 as that is the projected completion year for the Adventist Cancer Institute and Outpatient Center – a 54,000-square-foot facility that will include 19 private treatment rooms equipped with entertainment centers and hightech comforts.

Oak Street Bridge is also slated for completion in 2015, but in the meantime it’s business as usual for the village president.

“I try to keep to the three main goals I’ve had, which are infrastructure, keeping costs down and revitalizing businesses,” he said.

HINSDALE – Hinsdale police officers may be writing more tickets than they’re accustomed to as new driving laws are now in effect concerning electronic devices.

“I don’t think up to this point that the state has done a very good job educating the public of this change, and I think it’s going to catch a lot of people off guard,” Hinsdale Police Chief Brad Bloom said of the laws that took effect Jan. 1. “I think we have a lot of work to do in educating the public about the new requirements for handheld devices.”

The law now prohibits drivers from using electronic communication devices, including cellphones, while driving unless motorists use a hands-free device or voice operated mode. Drivers 18 and younger are prohibited from using wireless phones while driving, with or without hands-free devices.

Bloom said the new law seems like a step in the right direction and he applauded the legislation, but he feels there is still more work to do when it comes to preventing crashes due to distractions.

“I think there’s a growing body of research that shows that even with a hands-free device people are still distracted, and I think that any type of distraction while someone is

school zones with the purpose of increasing driver awareness of cellphone prohibitions.

As a result, 19 citations were issued for use of cellphones.

This year, the first offense is $75, increasing by $25 for each subsequent offense, up to $150, according to a news release from the police department.

“I want to have the safest roads possible for all the users and the only way we’re going to achieve that is reducing distractions,” he said.

Looking back on 2013, Bloom said the police department had a “great year,” and was fortunate to be in a community like Hinsdale with a terrific staff to work with.

When it came to crime in the area, Bloom said he wasn’t

HINSDALE – Saving a man from a near-fatal heart attack on Christmas Eve will likely make this a Christmas several Hinsdale firefighters/paramedics will never forget.

The Hinsdale Fire Department responded to a call at 10:40 p.m. Dec. 24 after receiving a 911 call from a Hinsdale resident who said one of his house guests may be having a heart attack, according to a Hinsdale Fire Department news release Monday.

The ambulance crew arrived to find a man in his 50s unresponsive and slumped over on the staircase in the home.

Residents and other guests said the man was preparing to leave because he had not been feeling well when he sat down on the stairs, the release said.

The firefighters/paramedics determined the man was in full cardiac arrest and began CPR. Cardiac chest leads were applied to the patient and a shock was delivered, and the man soon began to regain con-

sciousness.

The patient was then taken to Hinsdale Hospital and placed in stable condition. The man walked out of the hospital a few days later and is expected to make a full recovery, according to the release.

“We train for situations like this one all the time, however, we never expected a call like this on Christmas Eve,” Captain Dave DeWolf said in the release. “We’re just happy for the positive outcome and I’m sure this is a Christmas we will never forget.”

Steve Tullis, Hinsdale Fire Department public information officer, said a similar situation occurred two summers ago with the same positive outcome.

“It is very rare that we are able to save someone who has passed away,” Tullis said.

“The last time this happened in Hinsdale was during the Fourth of July parade two years ago. In both instances, each patient made a full recovery and walked out of the Hinsdale Hospital days after a near fatal heart attack.”

Real chance for fraud in health care law Before its launch on Oct. 1, the health care law’s exchange website repeatedly failed internal tests, crashing with as few as 200 or 300 people on the site. Yet the Obama Administration pushed ahead, launching Healthcare.gov without the most basic end-to-end security tests. At a recent Congressional hearing, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was asked whether she would shut down Obamacare’s exchange website until all its security risks were COMMUNITY addressed. She flatly reVOICE fused. With the hasty launch Peter of Obamacare, the Obama Roskam Administration continues to jeopardize the security of millions of American’s personal information thanks to a vulnerable website built for a structurally flawed program.

Just how bad is Healthcare.gov? Security experts warn that there are “considerable safety risks” that “hint at deeper vulnerabilities” due to cutting corners on security testing and ignoring industry standards. Just days before the launch, an internal memo warned of “high” security risks but the head of the agency that created Healthcare.gov signed off on it anyway.

Software testers have already found several security breaches where hackers can get access to your email and security questions or rig the site to send password-reset information to a third party. Just last week, a North Carolina man tried to log onto the website and got a South Carolina man’s personal information.

This isn’t just an illustration of an incompetent launch; it’s a serious threat to the safety of your personal information.

The website’s technical shortcomings are well-documented, but of deeper concern is the rampant potential for security vulnerabilities on the backend of the website, the law’s massive “data hub.” The hub will collect the information that people submit to Healthcare.gov when they enroll in the exchanges, and allow the staff of seven different sprawling federal agencies to access it. It has already been forced to go dark for days at a time for technical maintenance. This invokes little confidence that the data hub will be able to keep Americans’ private data safe, making it a goldmine for hackers.

Americans deserve a government that is doing everything in its power to keep you safe as it relates to your private information. That’s why the House will not stop its aggressive oversight, will strengthen anti-fraud efforts and demand the Administration put key protections in place in the law. When a person’s private information is exposed, it can cause a ripple effect that impacts their identity, finances, employment and everyday life.

8LETTERS Children’s museum thankful for volunteers To the Editor: Volunteers are one of our nation’s most valuable resources! Every day millions of caring people enrich their communities by helping to educate our children and prepare them for the future.

DuPage Children’s Museum is all about nurturing a new generation of creative problem solvers. Our volunteers are helping to build critical thinking skills in young children to better prepare them for the future. It’s hard to imagine where DuPage Children’s Museum would be without the aid and dedication of these volunteers.

During this season, we would like to take this opportunity to say a special thank you to the over 800 volunteers who make a difference every day in our organization and community!

As a nonprofit organization, we rely heavily on our volunteers to help us achieve our ambitious goals. Without volunteer support, it would be impossible for the museum to accomplish our mission of stimulating curiosity, creativity, and problem solving in young children.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our volunteers for the time, energy and passion they share with the museum.

This past year has been an exceptional time for the museum – thanks in great part to the involvement of our volunteers.

View from inside a landmark home Historic home preserves R. Harold Zook design

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – From the outside, it looks like what one would expect from a landmark home designation in the historic area of Fullersburg.

Brick is the weapon of choice for this R. Harold Zook home as the brick driveway with walls separating it from the yard lead straight to the large 1949 landmark, and a single step inside yields a contemporary style.

Beamed ceilings, large windows with endless light and a limestone fireplace with Zook’s signature spider web design highlight a home that looks like it sprouted up in the middle of a forest at 820 N. Washington St. “We had lived in the neighborhood actually for 19 years and had always loved this house,” said Jean Follett, who moved in with her husband, Doug Thompson, in August 2012. “We saw it and just fell in love with it instantly.”

The Hinsdale Village Board also apparently had an appreciation for the house, which was recently approved for landmark status in the village. Hinsdale Village Planner Sean Gascoigne said the zoning code and the historic

Know more • R. Harold Zook was involved in choosing Edwin H. Clark as the architect for the Memorial Building and in 1932 was chairman of the Hinsdale Plan Commission. Zook ultimately built 31 houses and six commercial buildings in Hinsdale, according to the village’s website.

• In the Fullersburg area, there were once five Zook-designed homes. Four still remain: two on Washington Street and two on The Pines Street.

preservation code have standards that are applied when someone submits an application, one of which is that the home is at least 50 years old.

However, Gascoigne said just because a home is old doesn’t make it historic, and just because someone famous lived in a house doesn’t deem it a landmark either.

“That was the case with 820 N. Washington, it was a R. Harold Zook home,” Gascoigne said. “It’s one of the few left up in the Fullersburg area and one of the last ones he designed before he passed away.”

Zook isn’t a household name in comparison to architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, but his trademark designs in Hinsdale are evident in a town filled with historic charm.

He was known for having a prairie-style type home like

Wright, but Gascoigne said most of Zook’s noticeable architectural features are interior.

“The one big thing that he’s more noticed for than anything else is a spider web design somewhere in the architecture,” he said.

Thompson said what he enjoyed most was just how much light could enter into the house, and how when looking into the backyard it looks like “you’re in the woods.”

“Certainly for a Zook it’s very forward looking,” he said. “It’s so open to the back that people are always so surprised when they look out the back windows.”

Despite the home looking large from the outside, the couple said they’ve always been drawn to the cozier homes.

“Even though we have a lot of space we never feel like we’re living in a really big house, which is nice,” Follett said.

Now that the home has been approved for landmark status, Gascoigne said if someone were to come back later with the desire to do an addition or any type of remodeling that affects the appearance of the building from curbside view, they would need to get a certificate of appropriateness through the Hinsdale Historic Preservation Commission.

It also protects the structure from demolition.

“The benefit that a homeowner gets, and not everybody will take advantage of this because some are just preservationists at heart and want to see the building maintained, but there is a tax freeze through the state of Illinois that you can apply for and you have to meet certain criteria,” Gascoigne said. “Of all the homes locally landmarked most people just do it because they want to see it preserved and they’re not interested in the tax freeze.”

Follett by profession is a preservationist so for her the process was nothing new and something she looked forward to seeing played out.

“I do this for a living so it’s kind of been fun,” she said.

“And I live with her for a living,” her husband said with a laugh.

Two of Illinois’ biggest and most controversial laws passed in 2013 – concealed carry permits and medicinal marijuana – officially took effect Jan. 1.

However, their impact won’t be seen for months, according to government agencies.

Illinois State Police will accept online applications to carry a concealed handgun starting Jan. 5 and recently announced the acceptance of paper applications beginning July 1.

More than 2,000 registered concealed carry instructors are already listed on the State Police website, said spokesperson Monique Bond, but the first permits won’t be issued until early April.

“It could be sooner, but we are going to use the full 90 days to give us enough time to make sure we do it right,” Bond said.

In order to obtain a standard five-year concealed carry permit, Illinois residents must already have a Firearm Owner Identification (FOID) card, pay a $150 fee, submit to a background check and undergo 16 hours of firearm training with a certified instructor.

Applications will be processed by State Police, which will issue or deny the card within 90 days. Denied applications will be reviewed by the governor-appointed Concealed Carry Licensing Board.

For similar reasons, medicinal marijuana will not be accessible until well past Jan. 1. Not only will there be a time lapse to process applications for distribution and cultivation centers, said Illinois Department of Public Health spokesperson Melaney Arnold, but government agencies are still determining the specifics of the law’s implementation.

“I would like to give a time frame, but there are so many moving pieces,” Arnold said.

“We’re working as quickly as we can to get it out.”

The Department of Public Health is in charge of the certification process for doctors and patients, but several other departments and agencies are overseeing different aspects of the law.

But progress is slow, Arnold said. Even key elements of the law, such as how to approve dispensaries and certification requirements, remain undecided.

“It’s not going to happen overnight,” she said While still a long way off, the eventual effects of both concealed carry and medicinal marijuana will be significant, according to the laws’ proponents and opponents.

Richard Pearson, executive director of the Illinois State Rifle Association, said he anticipated the state would see a decline in the crime rate as more gun owners are allowed to carry a weapon on their person. Those worried about an

increase in guns on the street needn’t be, he said.

“You’re looking at people who have gone through extensive training and gone through the same background checks that a police officer gets,” he said.

Colleen Daley, executive director for the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence and an opponent of the bill, said while the law has some positives, such as increased background checks, extensive training requirements and prohibited locations, its effect is unclear. She expects to see lawsuits challenge the law, but said first, people need to be educated.

“People are going to be around others who are carrying legal, loaded guns,” she said. “Some are deeply concerned, some aren’t, but the average citizen should be aware that something like this is happening.”

Dr. Eldon Trame, president of the Illinois State Medical Society, said many of the more than 12,000 current and retired doctors in his organization were taking a “wait and see” attitude toward medicinal marijuana and that members were neither encouraged nor discouraged from prescribing it.

“Some physicians are very much in favor of the law and some are very much not in favor of the law,” he said. “But I, at least, will certainly have an open eye and open mind to this.”

I am 33 and I was in your shoes at one point. You should appreciate your parents keeping you busy because work builds character and makes you a responsible individual. It also prepares you for the future. Do you really think when you’re in the working world you will get a Christmas vacation? Sure you might if you have paid time off, but some places may not even allow their employees to use that. Do you think when you graduate high school and college, life will give you a break? No way, it’s like a top 40 radio station – the hits just keep coming and by not getting a break now, you will be prepared for life when it won’t give you a break.

Restaurant reviews

Spend an evening in South America at Rio’s ADDISON – One of the joys of living in this melting pot of a nation is that everyone comes here, and they bring their delicacies with them.

I love American, Italian, Mexican, Thai and Japanese cuisine, along with several other varieties I’ve enjoyed over the years. But every once in a while, it’s fun to branch out by tasting something new.

And something new is exactly what I found at Rio’s Fine South American Cuisine in Addison. Billed as a Peruvian restaurant on various websites, Rio’s also has delicacies from Argentina and Brazil that are sure to tempt your taste buds.

When you first walk in, you’re greeted by a bar area that’s tasteful and hip, but not particularly ethnic. You could meet business clients for drinks here and they wouldn’t necessarily even recall that it was a South American establishment – unless they look closely at the wine list, which is filled with selections from all over the continent.

Enter the dining area, though, and you’ll find yourself in a scene that’s both elegant and evocative of the dishes you’re about to sample.

A massive mural across the back wall combines the famous Christ the Redeemer statue that overlooks Rio de Janeiro in Brazil with the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru. Other small decor touches give hints of South America without overwhelming the room and making it kitschy.

I stopped by Rio’s on a recent evening with a dining companion, and I started right off with an authentic drink from south of the equator – a Dona Paula Sauvignon Blanc from Argentina, which the wine list describes as “bright, crisp, tart green apple skin, lime zest, guava, and grapefruit with a touch of minerality.” It proved to be a terrific accompaniment to the dishes that followed.

We started with the Peruvian Sampler, wanting to

The sampler includes the ceviche de pescado (a Peruvian specialty), a tamale, anticucho de la pollo (chicken skewer), and papa a la huancaina (a savory sauce over boiled potatoes).

I most enjoyed the flavorful

skewer, while my companion was a big fan of the tamale.

When selecting an entree, I was immediately taken by the bright pictures of every dish on the menu. One item, the Pollo Enrollado, grabbed my attention right away. It fea-

spinach and cheese. The chicken is rolled in “panko” and topped with Algarrobina sauce. I expected something savory and was pleasantly surprised that it was more complex than that.

“It’s got a sweetness to it,” my dining companion

remarked happily after trying a bite.

My companion’s dish was even better, the Tallarin Verde con Churrasco. It included a generous helping of perfectly seasoned steak alongside fettucine mixed with Peruvian pesto (spinach, basil, white cheese, walnuts and olive oil). The steak and the pasta both tasted great on their own, but together the flavors were perfectly paired.

We both really wanted dessert – interesting items included churros filled with caramel and hot chocolate dipping sauce, and ice cream made with Andean Lucuma fruit – but we were both too stuffed to properly enjoy it.

That just means that next time I’ll have to – regretfully – forgo the Peruvian Sampler to save some room to try some exotic ice cream.

YEAR OF THE CHAMPION

Central, South combine for slew of strong finishes

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com As the calendar flips over to 2014, there is no time like the present to reflect on some of the best performances put forth by Hinsdale Central and Hinsdale South athletes in 2013. Central had several individual and team state champions while South had Emma Adcock play for a badminton title and Justin Maslow earn an all-state wrestling finish.

School: Hinsdale Central Sport: Boys cross country Place: Class 3A champs State run: Buoyed by all-state finishes from Billy Magnesen (seventh), Kevin Huang (24th) and TJ Caveney (25th), the Red Devils tallied 99 points to claim the state title over Downers Grove North (144).

Quote: “From summer on, these kids displayed such a sense of purpose and focus,” Head coach Jim Westphal said.

“Chemistry was evident – they are good friends but they push one another. When it came time to run in a pressure situation, they wanted to give their best for each other.”

School: Hinsdale Central Sport: Boys golf Place: Class 3A champs State run: The Red Devils carded a 295 on the first day of the state tournament to jump out to a comfortable lead, and their 308 in the second round was one of the lowest team scores.

Their total of 603 was good for a comfortable state title over New Trier (616).

Quote: “It was definitely one of the hardest courses we played all year,” Hinsdale Central player Drew Shepherd said. “There were a lot of fun, challenging holes and it was a really great environment to be a part of.”

Name: Martin Joyce, Hinsdale Central Sport: Boys tennis, singles Place: State champ State run: Joyce played just two three-set matches at the state tournament, claiming the title with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 victory over Waubonsie Valley’s Eric Marbach. With the win, Joyce became Central’s first singles state champ since Tom Buetikofer in 1997.

Quote: “I was able to get off the court pretty quick in the semis, and Eric [Marbach] had a long match,” Martin Joyce said.

“Then we played a long final match, and I think my fitness level played a big part. I wasn’t getting tired late in matches.”

School: Hinsdale Central Sport: Boys tennis Place: State champs State run: After posting a perfect sectional score to earn that title, Central set a new state record by tallying 59 of a possible 64 points for its second straight state title and 22nd overall. The Red Devils sent three state tournament entries to championship matches.

Quote: “During the tournament we were all really competitive and all focused on winning

Quote: “I was most impressed with his pommel horse routine because it’s difficult to hit that routine,” coach Mark Wanner said. “And to hit it three times over 24 hours is even tougher.

He did 16 routines [total] in less than 24 hours and hit all of them.”

Names: Eddie Grabill and Harold Martin, Hinsdale Central Sport: Boys tennis, doubles Place: State champs State run: An all-Hinsdale Central doubles final pitted sophomore Grabill and senior Martin against senior teammates Alex Hagermoser and Peter Henegan.

School: Hinsdale Central Sport: Boys swimming, 200yard freestyle relay Place: State champs State run: Seniors Connor Schroyer and Will Leach bookended sophomores Brian Powell and Brian Portland and clocked a 1:23.43 to win the state title last February by nearly a second. The time was more than three seconds faster than the relay’s sectional-winning mark the week before state.

Quote: “When I got up on the blocks I started to get excited,” Will Leach said. “I started smiling and laughing. I knew it was going to be a fun race.

I hoped to get the same [time] drops the other guys got, and I was able to do that.”
