The Metra Board of Directors took a step toward revitalizing its aging fleet and closing budget shortfalls Thursday – at the expense of its riders’ pocketbooks. The board announced an average 10.8 percent fare hike starting Feb. 15 and will seek additional increases totaling about 68 percent during the next decade in an effort to meet costs and help pay for a $2.4 billion capital plan, according to one of two news releases distributed Thursday on the matter. The increase was part of Metra’s proposed 2015 budget, which totals $749.1 million in operations expenses and $328.9 million in capital needs. “We expend a huge amount of resources – time, staff and money – on timely and extensive maintenance so that even our ‘vintage’ rolling stock is completely safe,” said Metra Executive Director and CEO Don Orseno in a release. “But, as the old saying goes, is this really any way to run a railroad?” Metra needs $9.9 billion during the next 10 years to update its system, according to a 2013 report from the Regional Transportation
Metra rail stock facts ■ Metra has 146 locomotives,
837 passenger cars and 186 Highliner cars. ■ The average age of a Metra car in 2012 was 29.7 years. ■ The plan aims to have 367 new cars to replace 318 with an average age of 43 years.
Authority referenced in a release. About a quarter of the money is anticipated to come from traditional state and federal sources. The rest is up to Metra to find. Currently, more than 40 percent of Metra’s cars were built in 1980 or before and had an average age of 29.7 years in 2012. The average for other similar rail services is about 19 years. The aging cars were not replaced because Metra “has had no reliable funding source to make it possible,” a release stated. The board’s plan allocates $1.2 billion for 367 new cars and $416 million for 52 locomotives, among other expenses. To help meet costs, Metra plans to issue $100 million in bonds – or a similar funding method – in 2015 for the first time in its history.
About 16 percent of the $2.4 billion would be funded by the fair increase. Metra will seek additional federal and state money as well, according to a release. The increase also stemmed from a projected $27.3 million deficit in next year’s budget, despite a more than $18 million growth in external funds. Although ticket prices may rise up to 22 percent, the board did grant relief on a few options. A discount on 10-ride tickets, eliminated in 2013, may be reinstated, as may a grace period on monthly tickets, making them valid through noon on the first business day of each month. One-way tickets also could last up to 90 days. Metra is considering increasing the price of an onboard ticket to $5 from $3 and weekend passes from $7 to $8 and instituting a general no-refund policy. The proposal doesn’t cover the remaining several billion dollar need for upgrades to tracks, structures, signals, facilities, stations and more that Metra aims to accomplish in the coming years, although a release indicated additional plans would be developed. “Metra can no longer ‘kick this can down the road’ and
continue with cobbled-together solutions on its aging system,” said Board Chairman Martin Oberman in a release. “A safe, reliable, comfortable ride has a price tag ...” La Grange commuter Louis Ibarra said if the ticket prices are raised, he expects a lot of train riders to stop using the locomotives. “It’s economically more sensible to take the train,” Ibarra said. “But maybe people will find other means of [transportation].” Another rider, La Grange resident Susan Ellis, said she hasn’t seen the prices rise in a long time, although the amount of commuters is more of a concern to her. “If [Metra] is going to raise the prices, they better get better service to go with it,” Ellis said. April Sanders, a commuter from La Grange Park, said although she purchases a monthly pass for the train, her main complaint is the price difference between purchasing tickets on the train versus at the vestibule. “[Higher prices] wouldn’t affect my commuting, but I wouldn’t be happy about it,” Sanders said.

Local chef brings ‘modern farm cuisine’ to Westmont hotel By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – Chef Sean Patrick Curry showcases a cooking style all his own – creating seasonal dishes comprised of local meats and cheeses, fresh vegetables and delectable desserts, all seasoned with an east coast expertise and French flare. The new executive chef at the Hilton Chicago/Oak Brook Hills Resort & Conference Center brings more than 20 years of experience to the kitchen and is now revamping the hotel’s bar and restaurant menu, elevating the banquet and catering service and introducing what he refers to as “modern farm cuisine.” “The modern refers to contemporary, beautifully plated dishes – a lot of thought is put into presentation,” Curry said. “The modern farm cuisine is being able to tell people where their food comes from. If we don’t grow it here, we’ll buy it local. It’s about old-school preparation mixed with newschool presentation.” The new hotel restaurant, bar and banquet menu is about a month and a half away, according to Curry, who said he has worked more than 20

WEB POLL QUESTION: What’s your favorite fall flavor? Vote online at mysuburbanlife.com.
ENDORSEMENT
Ill. governor: Rauner Gov. Pat Quinn has had more than five years to guide Illinois toward a brighter fiscal future. Instead, his incompetent leadership and regressive policies have driven the state to the brink of financial collapse. To that point: Illinois is bleeding jobs. State data released last month show that there are 102,000 fewer Illinoisans in the workforce now than when Quinn, a Democrat, took office in 2009. That’s good for worst in the country. Illinois also is the only state in the Midwest in which food stamp enrollment has outpaced job creation – and by a 2-to-1 margin – since the Great Recession, again under Quinn’s watch. Illinois has the worst credit rating of any state in the nation, meaning it pays more in interest when borrowing money. Under Quinn, national ratings agencies have downgraded the state’s credit rating 13 times. The state’s bonds are near “junk” status. Illinois also has a worst-in-the-nation public pension deficit of $100 billion and growing. Almost a quarter of every dollar that state government collects annually from taxpayers goes toward retirement benefits, not services. Quinn stood on the sidelines as lawmakers worked on pension reform last year, offering no solution of his own to the state’s most pressing issue. The solution ultimately arrived at now appears likely to be thrown out in court, putting reform efforts back to square one. Deadbeat state government owes social service agencies, school districts and other employers almost $5 billion for work completed months ago. Illinois’ worker’s compensation costs are fourth worst in the U.S., driving businesses and jobs elsewhere. Quinn and Democratic state lawmakers also foisted a 67 percent income tax increase on wage earners in 2011, costing a household with annual income of $50,000 an additional $1,000 in taxes. Quinn promised it would be temporary, but now wants to make it permanent. He also wants to introduce a graduated income tax, another jobs killer. Simply put, Quinn’s tenure as governor has been a complete failure.
Alex Soulier, news editor asoulier@shawmedia.com 630-427-6247
By contrast, Republican nominee for governor Bruce Rauner is a success story. A self-made millionaire, he helped build a startup investment firm into one of the most successful businesses in the state. Rauner’s wealth was not given to him. He earned it. Yet Quinn, a lifelong politician, holds that against him. Success should be lauded, not vilified. Because he is independently wealthy, Rauner will not be beholden to the special interests that have helped corrupt Springfield. He says he will stand up to public employee union leaders who have fought tooth-and-nail against reform. He says he also will fight corruption and cronyism, which have thrived under Quinn in state government agencies such as the Department of Transportation and the Department of Agriculture. Rauner understands that the state’s taxpayers are overburdened. He wants to phase out the Quinn income tax hike over four years, freeze property taxes, and shrink state government. He also wants to reduce the overall number of governmental bodies in Illinois. Rauner pledges to be an active governor and live in Springfield. Unlike Quinn, Rauner says that he will be on the floor working legislation every day the General Assembly is in session. Rauner also is not a career politician; this is his first run for office. He supports term limits and, if elected, says he would serve at most two terms. Rauner admits that he does not have all the answers. He understands that Illinois’ financial situation is so dire, he will need help. He vows to surround himself with talented people whose focus will be righting the state’s fiscal ship, not political cronies looking for more taxpayer-funded handouts. Rauner doesn’t need this job. He says he’s running because he believes in Illinois and wants to make it a better place to live. Bruce Rauner gives Illinois hope. Gov. Pat Quinn offers more of the same failures. Illinois can’t afford more of the same. That’s why we endorse Rauner, the Republican nominee for governor.

| 2014 ELECTION GUIDE
U.S. REPRESENTATIVE – 5TH DISTRICT
U.S. REPRESENTATIVE – 11TH DISTRICT
Why are you the best candidate for Congress? I’m a proven job creator with unique experience in the transportation industry relevant to the 5th District, which contains the Bensenville Railyard and O’Hare Airport. I’m a businessman who knows how to get work done, not a career politician or attorney. In order to shake up the status quo, we need more outsiders in Washington. The U.S. faces a $17 trillion (and rising) debt burden. Can this debt be paid down without raising taxes? Where can spending be cut? There are no sacred cows as it relates to government spending. All areas of federal spending should be Vince Kolber audited and reviewed for waste, fraud and abuse. We need to increase revenue by R-Lincoln Park closing special corporate tax preferences to ensure everyone pays their fair share. In order to reduce government spending, you must look at the defense department first. Then we need to reduce the growth of government spending. Where do you stand on immigration reform? I believe that we need to face facts and understand that immigration is good for the U.S. Our current immigration laws and our border are a mess. Those who live here without proper documentation and who have obeyed the law should be given an opportunity to stay here with their families and start a path to legal status.
The U.S. faces a $17 trillion (and rising) debt burden. Can this debt be paid down without raising taxes? Where can spending be cut? We need a balanced, bipartisan approach to debt reduction that includes a combination of spending cuts, investments in economic growth and simplification of the tax code. ... I have supported cuts to the Pentagon’s $1.5 trillion warplane known as the F-35, as well as to our $7.7 billion nuclear weapons program. I have also been fighting to remove a mandate from the budget that requires us to spend $2 billion Bill Foster every year on immigrant detention, despite less costly alternatives. Where do you stand on immigration reform? There is no question our immigraD-Naperville tion system is broken. ... I am a strong supporter of comprehensive immigration reform, and I am a co-sponsor of HR15, which is the House companion to the bipartisan immigration bill that passed the Senate with overwhelming support. In addition to fixing our broken immigration system, passing comprehensive immigration reform would add a much-needed boost to our economy, both nationally and here in Illinois. What can be changed or improved about the Affordable Care Act? If you favor its repeal, what would you replace it with? I do not support repealing the Affordable Care Act. ... However, I have supported common-sense changes to the law that would improve it rather than repeal it. For example, I have voted to allow people to keep their health insurance plans that were slated for cancellation.

Why are you the best candidate for Congress? As a Green Party candidate, I am the only candidate who does not take corporate donations, therefore I answer only to my constituents, not to corporate handlers. I am a Green Party progressive champion representing real choice and real change. The U.S. faces a $17 trillion (and rising) debt burden. Can this debt be paid down without raising taxes? Where can spending be cut? No cuts should be made to programs that affect the well-being and future of the middle class and Nancy Wade poor. A few of the ways to cut the debt: enact a 0.01 percent fee on speculative financial transactions, especially high-speed computer trading. ... Cut the military G-Chicago budget by 30 percent over the next 10 years. ... We must immediately take strong action to convert our economy to a green energy-based one, not a fossil fuel-based one. Where do you stand on immigration reform? We must allow immigrants ... legal entry in numbers commensurate to their importance to our economy, especially agricultural workers. I support reforming the immigration system by allowing legal status to workers with a fair, timely path to citizenship within five years. Preference for keeping families together must be maintained. I support the DREAM Act giving a path to citizenship for those brought here as minors. Mike Quigley, D-Lakeview, did not respond to Suburban Life’s questionnaire.
The U.S. faces a $17 trillion (and rising) debt burden. Can this debt be paid down without raising taxes? Where can spending be cut? Nonessential spending must be reviewed and critiqued, duplicative processes and oversight need to be ended, and every effort must be made to eliminate fraud and abuse. While I firmly believe that the federal budget can be reduced, I think that there may be a short-term need to increase spending on military operations in Syria and Iraq if the situation continues to escalate out of control. Where do you stand on immigration reform? The first step in immigration reform Darlene should be to secure the borders and at the same time overhaul the visa system so Senger that people from all walks of life can come to this great country fairly and legally, R-Naperville including many skilled workers. ... There needs to be a serious debate about what should be required in a path to legal status for people who are currently in the country illegally. What can be changed or improved about the Affordable Care Act? If you favor its repeal, what would you replace it with? Truly reforming health care in this country cannot be achieved by costly mandates, you have to look to the free market for solutions that include allowing coverage to be bought across state lines, allowing groups and small businesses to pool together to buy insurance and the removal of plan coverage mandates to allow consumers to choose the insurance that works best for them and their families.
U.S. REPRESENTATIVE – 6TH DISTRICT Why are you the best candidate for Congress? I am focused on policies to build a 21st-century economy where American innovation and hard work drives growth so we can once again compete globally, creating jobs here at home. Where do you stand on immigration reform? If our government will get serious about securing the border, we can then move on high-skilled visas, grant seasonal permits to agricultural workers and set up a process by which undocumented immigrants can get right with the law. If we work through small bills that fix targeted problems, we will succeed in creating a smarter, more effective immigration Peter system. Roskam What role should the U.S. play in regards to the ongoing conflicts throughout R-Wheaton the Mideast, including conflicts instigated by terror groups? There are a number of steps we can take besides putting boots on the ground, but we must take action now. … The United States should maintain its commitment to NATO but encourage our European allies to play a more proactive, constructive role in confronting global challenges such as [the Islamic State] and Russian aggression towards Ukraine. Why are you the best candidate for Congress? I will work across party lines to get the country moving forward. ... I will propose and support job creation legislation, investment in education, responsible deficit reduction, campaign finance reform, sensible immigration reform, women’s rights, increased minimum wages, comprehensive tax reform (both individual and corporate) and climate preservation. Where do you stand on immigration reform? I support the fundamentals of Senate Bill S744. This is a comprehensive bill that was designed to secure the border, Michael modernize and streamline the system and provide some type of a legalization Mason system for those already in the country. D-Naperville What role should the U.S. play in regards to the ongoing conflicts throughout the Mideast, including conflicts instigated by terror groups? The course that we have taken, forming a coalition of Arab states, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Jordan is exactly the appropriate thing to do. We should not place combat troops in the region other than as advisers and trainers. ... The one sure thing that the U.S. can count on is that Israel will always be our staunchest ally in the region. Regardless of what transpires, the U.S. must always maintain the current relationship we have with Israel.
DUPAGE COUNTY BOARD – 3RD DISTRICT Why are you the best candidate for the DuPage County Board? As a proud mother, grandparent and woman of color, I can relate to the problems and concerns faced by our youth, elderly and other subcultures throughout DuPage and will do so with empathetic maturity and the leadership skills vital to promoting unity. … As a former investigative reporter, I bring knowledge and years of experience working with federal, state and local government operations, policies and procedures. What is your opinion on the measures the county has taken to address the heroin crisis? What is the future of heroin prevention in the county? We must Pamela Miles continue to provide law enforcement and safety forces necessary training and fund- D-Downers ing to do their jobs in an adequate manner. Public awareness, education, training Grove and rehabilitation are key components in protecting our youth and citizens. What is the best way to grow business in the county? I would address roadway and transportation improvement. The collar counties reportedly receive $40 million a year for Regional Transit Authority. However, reports indicate that DuPage County uses only 1 percent of these funds for RTA. Is the remainder of the funds really being used for operations at the County Sheriff’s Department? Why are you the best candidate for the DuPage County Board? As vice chairman of the County Board ,I have led the way on economic reforms that have saved the county millions of dollars in spending by reforming employee benefits, ending pension spiking and consolidating services like merging our youth detention Center with Kane County, which provides an equal level of service at a reduced costs, saving DuPage taxpayers over a million dollars annually. What is your opinion on the measures the county has taken to address the John Curran heroin crisis? What is the future of heroin prevention in the county? Continued education in our schools, availability of treatment for heroin users and swift R-Woodridge and harsh prosecution for those peddling heroin in our communities is our best course forward in DuPage County for battling this epidemic.

The best way to grow business in the county is by working to expand and diversify the local economy through actions that stimulate business investments in our communities. … We need to vigorously pursue the O’Hare Airport Western Access Project, which by providing a roadway accessing O’Hare from the west, will allow the DuPage region to meet it future transportation needs. This project is estimated to lead to 64,000 new jobs in the area.

Why are you the best candidate for DuPage County Board chairman? I led a consolidation effort that has saved taxpayers a projected $80 million while still delivering the highest level of resident services. I led comprehensive ethics reform that strengthened the county’s Ethics Ordinance. ... I created the ACT Transparency Portal. ... Under my leadership, infrastructure improvements have been made. How should the county proceed with government consolidation? I believe the work to consolidate local units of government should, and must, continue. ... Doing Dan Cronin so will allow the county to function efficiently, offer the best in resident services R-Elmhurst and save taxpayer dollars. ... I will continue to thoughtfully and strategically lead the county’s consolidation effort through the DuPage ACT Initiative. What is your opinion on the measures the county has taken to address the heroin crisis? What is the future of heroin prevention in the county? I support the DuPage Narcan Program, a program that trains officers in the use of a nonaddictive drug that reverses potentially fatal heroin overdoses. ... Additionally, DuPage leaders and I have created the DuPage Coalition Against Heroin, an organization dedicated to raising awareness through education with a focus on prevention.
Do you think the Illinois Supreme Court ruling on a part of the pension reform bill passed should be tossed out as unconstitutional? It is essential that we find a solution which is both constitutionally viable and which produces substantial savings. I am encouraged by the framework proposed in [Senate Bill] 2404, which includes a guarantee to prevent future misuse of funds, would allow for substantial savings to the state, and is considered to be more likely to pass constitutional muster. Just as important, Illinois cannot afford to miss any future pension payments and deepen our pension burden. Will you vote for or against making the 67 percent income tax hike permanent Suzanne if faced with such a vote? Our most important focus should be expanding the Glowiak tax base by creating a business-friendly environment and getting the state back to D-Western work. We need to decrease the income tax rate and focus on cutting waste from Springs state spending and on getting our state back to work. ... Rolling back the rates will ultimately increase revenues by promoting economic growth and expanding the tax base. Where do you stand on proposed plans for a progressive income tax in Illinois? A graduated tax – or any other tax proposal – should not increase the tax burden on middle-class families, or simply mask an extension of the current rate. In the event of a constitutional referendum on a specific proposal, I will respect the voters of my district and represent their interest in Springfield.
Why are you the best candidate for DuPage County Board Chairman? I am a 42-year resident ... I was a former teacher and college professor. I was in labor/ management ... I also trained for Fortune 500 companies and was a small-business owner. When elected, I will serve full time unlike the incumbent. How should the county proceed with government consolidation? Consolidation should be done if it makes government more efficient and does not take away needed service to the residents of DuPage. ... Political Robert consequences should not factor into the decision. The mosquito abatement districts were to be included in the consolidation plan but have been avoided Peickert because of political pushback. I would look at the Election Commission and D-Elmhurst township government. What is your opinion on the measures the county has taken to address the heroin crisis? What is the future of heroin prevention in the county? A good start. ... The county should have addressed this earlier. We need to focus on the source – the dealers. There does not appear to be a plan to go after them. Medication and the misuse of medication can also lead to heroin addiction.

DUPAGE COUNTY BOARD CHAIRMAN
Do you think the Illinois Supreme Court ruling on a part of the pension reform bill passed should be tossed out as unconstitutional? Seeing as the court has yet to release a ruling, it is simply not known at this time what the limitations of an alternative plan to meet pension obligations will be. However, I believe that such reforms should be thoughtfully debated and discussed with the representation of all individuals affected by the various state pension systems. Will you vote for or against making the 67 percent income tax hike permanent if faced with such a vote? The 2011 income tax increase must expire, as provided in the Chris Nybo law. Not only did I oppose the idea of the tax increase, but I also sponsored measures R-Elmhurst to repeal it just after I was sworn into office in 2011. I would forcefully oppose and work against any effort to make this “temporary” tax increase permanent. ... Democratic leaders were not able to solve the state’s fiscal problems with the $26 billion generated by the deceptively passed tax increase. Where do you stand on proposed plans for a progressive income tax in Illinois? I do not support any efforts to move Illinois’ income tax structure from a flat rate to a progressive rate. This would be another income tax increase on a majority of Illinois citizens. ... After observing how the “temporary” income tax increase has failed its intended purpose, the fundamental flaws in a tax-and-spend regime are realized now more than ever.

Wellness House - Support for families living with cancer SPONSORED BY
By Diane Krieger Spivak
When cancer strikes it changes the lives of entire families. Wellness House, in Hinsdale, was created to help families deal with and thrive in their new post-diagnosis world. It’s not a hospital or clinic, but a welcoming home filled with people and programs designed to help families regain strength and control over their lives through support groups, classes, social events and more. A patient of Dr. Dalal’s, Diane Gibson has been participating in the exercise classes and she states she sees a significant difference. “After I was cleared to exercise by Dr. Dalal, I was given a fitness assessment as a baseline to fit me into a class that was appropriate. They offer something for everyone. It is very inspiring for me and I feel so good after my class.”

General admission tickets are $7 in advance or $10 at the door. The tickets include entrance to the band pavilion and a cash bar.

From support to connecting with others to nutrition class-
es and exercise, all Wellness House programs, which are also open to family members, are staffed by experts in their fields: Education and information Classes, workshops, and expert speakers covering the essentials of dealing with cancer, updates on the latest treatments, help with practical issues, managing side effects and how to cope.

LaVoie was shot in the head and stomach during a meeting with a disgruntled employee in his office on the 17th floor of the Bank of America building, 231 S. LaSalle St., Chicago, according to Chicago police. The shooter was identified as Anthony DeFrances, 59, of Barrington, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. Police said LaVoie had a one-on-one meeting with DeFrances, a longtime employee who was recently demoted at work following company downsizing. After shooting LaVoie, DeFrances turned the gun on himself and was pronounced dead at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head, according to police. The full post from the family can be read at http:// shawurl.com/1hc3. A service is planned for 10 a.m. Saturday at First Presbyterian Church of La Grange.

LA GRANGE – Steve LaVoie, a La Grange resident who was shot by an employee during the summer at his office in Chicago’s Loop, has died, according to a post made by the family on the CaringBridge web page used to track Steve updates on his LaVoie condition. “I am writing to let you know that Steve’s body has succumbed to his numerous injuries,” Lavoie’s wife, Jody, wrote. “I had truly hoped to tell a different story now about his recovery, and for so long I believed he would be with us again.” LaVoie, 54, CEO at ArrowStream, a food service technology supply company, was shot at his office in Chicago’s Loop July 31.

“I moved there thinking that I would just live at the Jersey Shore and make pizzas,” he said. “But it was almost like I was touched by the hand of God and wound up in the culinary academy. I became obsessed with cooking.” The aspiring young chef then went on to do an apprenticeship at L’Essential in Chambery, France, under renowned Executive Chef Michelle Bouvier, who he said had the most impact on his career to date. Following a six-month stay in France, Curry returned stateside and found his way to Chicago, landing a gig in the movie catering business. In 2000, he joined Marriott International in Chicago and began working his way up through hotels of varying sizes and client bases. Now a Naperville resident, Curry is excited to bring his brand and style to the Hilton Chicago/Oak Brook Hills Resort and hopes to create a lasting, memorable experience for Westmont residents. “When you come in here, I want the meal to be a special memory, a life experience that we play a part of; that’s what excites me,” he said.

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BROOKFIELD – With two fall-themed events approaching, October is shaping up to be a busy month at the Brookfield Zoo. Kicking off the fall season is the annual Chicago Zoological Society’s Wines in the Wild fundraiser.

Guests at the fundraiser can sample more than 80 international and domestic wines, along with various appetizers prepared by the zoo’s executive chef. The evening also will include live and silent auctions. Tickets for Wines in the Wild are $100 per person and will include zoo admission, parking, the tasting and a commemorative wine glass. A VIP hour also is available from 5 to 6 p.m., and VIP packages range from $1,000 for six tickets, $500 for two tickets or $275 for one ticket. To register for the event, call 708-688-8393.

A family gets to work carving a pumpkin at last year’s Boo! at the Zoo event at the Brookfield Zoo. The family friendly event returns Oct. 18. Along with wine tasting, the Brookfield Zoo also will host the annual Boo! at the Zoo Halloween celebration. The family friendly event will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for two consecutive weekends – this Saturday and Sunday and Oct. 25 and 26. Guests are invited to watch professional pumpkin carvers, as well as professional pumpkin smashers, at the event. A costume parade will
begin at 1 p.m. and invites kids of all ages to show off their Halloween attire. From corn mazes and costume contests to a Creepy Cowboy Carousel and a scarecrow building event, Boo! at the Zoo has just about something for everyone. Tickets for the event are $16.95 for adults and $11.95 for children and seniors. Parking is $10. For information, visit www.CZS.org.

the menu, all cheeses will be local and Farm Logic is providing access to nearby farms. Additionally, the chef and his 26-member kitchen staff will cure their own meets and pickle their own vegetables. A plan to install a wood burning oven also is in the works, while an expanding chef’s garden near the back patio will be used to grow fruits and vegetables. In spring 2015, Curry is installing about 10 beehives throughout the hotel grounds and plans to incorporate honey into a variety of dishes and desserts. “If you come in for dinner, I want to show you full transparency and tell you where everything comes from – that’s part of this modern farm philosophy as well,” he said. In spite of his breadth of knowledge regarding locally sourced cuisine and area farms, Curry, 41, was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pa. After graduating high school, Curry moved to the Jersey Shore and eventually enrolled in Atlantic City Culinary Academy.

Restaurant reviews
Japanese cuisine is on a roll at Sushi Mono WHEATON – Food cravings have a way of burrowing down into the absolute pit of my stomach and staying there until satiated. Like a troll under a bridge controlling the action, my stomach often waves a hand at the trifles of a salad and instead demands a giant slice of pizza. While I try to stay strong in these moments, I both believe that life is too short to deny cravings for too long, and that if I do deny them, I will erupt like Cookie Monster from “Sesame Street,” devouring all in my wake. Thankfully, I was asked to review Sushi Mono in downtown Wheaton just as I was having a minor craving flare-up. It turns out to be a good suburban destination to scratch that particular itch, complete with large portions, a variety of different rolls and a classy atmosphere to tie it together. Its dramatic interior carries red and black tones throughout, for the feel of an upscale sushi restaurant. Well-decorated, it avoids being too busy with random knick-knacks. The dining room with its exposed barrel ceiling is staffed by a generous wait crew, who were all appropriately attentive. For my first visit, I decided to cast the widest net possible – no fish pun intended – and get a sushi trio special. The three rolls were preceded by a standard miso soup in a fun little container, plus a lovely mixed green salad with a creamy citrus dressing. The three players for the main event were dragon, shiitake mushroom and spicy tuna rolls, all with big positives in their own ways. First, the dragon, whose savory eel, shrimp tempura and tobiko – fish roe – combination was a welcome and warm change of pace from classic sushi. The shrimp had a nice crunch, adding texture to the roll. It probably could have used a dash more of unagi sauce, but it is also one of my

The mushroom roll was an interesting one, with salty, savory flavor from the soy sauce marinade. It had a nice chewy texture and was balanced with a hit of sweetness. And the spicy tuna was actually spicy, a relative rarity for many sushi spots. It was light on the mayo, which also was welcome. During a second visit, I decided I needed to scratch my itch just a bit further, and snared a pair of nigiri – sweet egg and salmon toro. I had never tried the former before, but was pleasantly surprised. The egg remained the dominating flavor, but had hints of salty and sweet that added a lot of depth. The salmon toro was perfectly fatty and served at a good temperature, which is important in such cuisine. I ended my foray into the world of Sushi Mono with a gigantic bowl of tonkotsu ramen, another deep and notso-guilty pleasure. The wonderful smell of pork broth hit me from tables away, and the comforting taste backed it up in a great way. It was surprisingly creamy in texture, and its noodles were just right.

Week 8 matchups
Central QB tosses 4 TD passes during homecoming By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Matt Rafferty showed what he is capable of at full strength, and Hinsdale South’s football team was a recipient of the results. Rafferty, Hinsdale Central’s senior quarterback, torched the Hornets’ defense in the Red Devils’ 42-14 homecoming win Saturday at Dickinson Field. “I got two full weeks of practice in after my ankle injury,” Rafferty said. “We came out prepared and our receivers made some great plays.” South fumbled the opening kickoff, Central’s Michael Lohmeier recovered and a little more than one minute into
the game, Rafferty connected with Thomas Ives on a 24-yard touchdown pass. From there, it was all Central. “Our kids were pretty motivated coming in. They were reading a lot about how good South was and our kids kind of took that as a challenge and they definitely responded well,” Central head coach Dan Hartman said. “The tone was set from the very beginning. Our kids were ready to go, and with the turnover on the opening kickoff we were able to punch it in right away and we were able to keep it rolling.” Rafferty and Bradley Huth connected on a 16-yard touchdown and Juwan Edmond slipped a series of tackles
on a 39-yard scoring run before the first quarter ended. Ives made a highlight-reel, one-handed catch in the back of the end zone for a 7-yard score and Edmond added a 3-yard touchdown for a 35-0 halftime lead. “We work goal-line routes, jump balls and we kind of mess around on the sidelines with one-handers [in practice],” Ives said. “It all starts with the offensive line. They did a great job giving Raff time and giving Juwan holes. Raff threw some great balls, Juwan was running hard and the skill position players ... just wanted to come out and make plays.” Rafferty and Ryan Doney connected for an 82-yard
touchdown early in the third quarter for a 42-0 lead. Dylan Boye had a 16-yard scoring run for South later in the frame before Sean McCormack and Ravon Johnson hooked up for a 39-yard score midway through the fourth quarter. “We definitely shot ourselves in the foot, and against a good team like Hinsdale Central you can’t do that,” South head coach Mike Barry said. “They put us in a hole right from the get-go, and our guys didn’t respond the way we would like them to. We have to look at it as a learning experience where our guys learn from this. The good thing is we have another opportunity this week.”
Hinsdale South at Morton n WHEN: 7:30 p.m. today n WHERE: 2400 Home Ave., Berwyn n RECORDS: South 5-2 (3-1 WSG), Morton 2-5 (2-3 WSG) n OUTLOOK: After a loss against Hinsdale Central, the Hornets return to West Suburban Gold play and face a reeling Morton team that allowed 92 points in consecutive losses.

Central, South soccer ready for postseason By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com The boys soccer regular season is at an end and teams are getting set for postseason kickoff with the goal of reaching the Class 3A state finals Nov. 7 and 8 at Hoffman Estates High School. Here’s how the playoff road lays out for Hinsdale Central and Hinsdale South:
natius or Young in the regional final on Oct. 25.
Hinsdale Central’s Evan Floersch dribbles the ball down field Tuesday against York. The Red Devils will have home field advantage at the regional they host next week.
Hinsdale South Regional: Morton Sectional: Lyons Township Sectional seed: No. 16 First match: 5 p.m. Tuesday vs.
Erica Benson ebenson@shawmedia.com
Hinsdale Central Regional: Hinsdale Central Sectional: Lyons Township Sectional seed: No. 2 First match: 6:30 p.m. Tuesday vs. No. 15 Lincoln Park Outlook: The Red Devils kept an eye on the postseason and the state finals even during the regular season, and now that the postseason has arrived they feel they are in a good spot to achieve some playoff success. “We’ve been working on things throughout the season, little things to make us better,” senior keeper Wes Bergevin said. “Every practice we’re working on those little things and throughout the season we’ve been improving a little bit game in and game out so at the end of the season we’ll
be ready.” Head coach Mike Wiggins also put together a regular-season schedule that included elite competition at the Hinsdale Soccer Invite, a trip to Peoria Notre Dame for a tournament, and nonconference games against Plainfield North, Naperville Central and
New Trier. The Red Devils earned a high seed in a tough sectional and will have home-field advantage in the regional, which they hope to parlay that into a lengthy postseason run. “I can’t speak to a long playoff run, I can only speak to how we prepare, so leading up to
now I fell very good about how we prepared,” Wiggins said. “I think we get good, competitive games because of our schedule. I like how the guys are playing for each other. I like how they’re coming out every day.” If Central takes care of business against Lincoln Park, it will face either St. Ig-
No. 1 Morton Outlook: Wins have been hard to come by for the Hornets this season, but quality play has not been. South has been on the wrong side of the results in 10 one-goal games this season. Lucas Carlson spearheads a solid defensive back line that also features Paul Figus, Dino Vessel and keeper Alec Carpenter. That defense will have its hands full with a talented Morton team that attacks from all angles. The regional semifinal will be the third meeting of the season between the Hornets and Mustangs. Morton won 8-0 in a tilt during the Hinsdale Soccer Invite early in the season, and the two teams met again in Tuesday’s West Suburban Gold finale. If South can pull off the playoff upset, it will face either Downers Grove North or Fenwick in the Oct. 24 championship match.
GOLF ROUNDUP
Hinsdale Central boys, girls golfers win sectional titles By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Just as he did during the regional tournament, Brendan O’Reilly shot a stellar score at Monday’s Class 3A sectional tournament at Prairie Bluff in Lockport. And just as in the regional tourney, the Hinsdale Central sophomore had to settle for second place after a playoff. But O’Reilly’s 68 Monday helped Hinsdale Central claim top honors as a team after the Red Devils placed second as a team in the regional. The Red Devils shot a team score of 284, the lowest sectional-winning score in the state by nine strokes, and good for a comfortable margin of victory against York (293), Lyons Township (294), Wheaton
Warrenville South (296) and Benet (298). Brian Dolehide carded a 70 while Drew Shepherd and Grant Lebedz each fired a 73 to round out the team scoring. Kenneth Li (74) and Billy Bizub (78) also played well in less than ideal conditions. The Red Devils will aim to claim their third straight state title when they compete in the state tourney at The Den at Fox Creek Golf Course in Bloomington today and Saturday. Dolehide, Li, O’Reilly and Shepherd all played at state and were Central’s four leading scorers in the tourney. “Experience always helps with mental preparation for a big tournament,” head coach Jess Krueger said. “Winning a sectional gives us momentum that can carry on to the state
tourney, and getting on a roll so to speak is beneficial. Feeling a little pressure is good. The confidence that comes from experience can turn the feeling of pressure into motivation to accomplish our goals.”
Hinsdale South Justin Schoenhardt and Brett Bavcevic both earned individual sectional tournament berths, but neither was able to move on to the state tourney during Monday’s sectional at Prairie Bluff.

Central’s sectional team score was by far the lowest in the state, and the Red Devils will look to keep the scores low today and Saturday during the state tournament at Hickory Point Golf Club in Decatur.

Watch Hub Arkush and the rest of our coverage team break down this weekend’s Bears game on “Chicago Football Now” at 10:30 a.m. Saturday on WCIU The U or at 2:30 p.m. Saturday on The U Too. on Tampa Bay. As if that wasn’t enough of a challenge for Mel and his marauders, all four of his top linebackers were out, his “new” starting nickel, Sherrick McManis, was inactive, and Chris Conte once again went down for the count early in the second half. The Bears responded by holding Atlanta to 287 yards of total offense, and 111 of that came on the Falcons first possession of the second half (Atlanta lost 25 yards on the drive from penalties). The Bears also held Atlanta to 4-for-13 on third down (31 percent) and sacked Matt Ryan four times, even though Atlanta entered the game sixth in the NFL in sacks allowed.
IT’S ALL ABOUT DRIVE
There is still more. With Briggs and Tillman on the sidelines, who would wear the green dot versus Atlanta? You know, the guy who would call the defenses and make sure everybody was in the right spot. It’s almost always a linebacker, but with second-year player Khaseem Greene, undrafted rookie free agent Christian Jones and Darryl Sharpton, who was signed off the street just a little over two weeks ago, what was Tucker to do? Sharpton was a four-year veteran of the Texans, so he was the obvious choice. Tucker and linebacker coach Reggie Herring apparently coached the heck out of him, because watching the game you never would have known it wasn’t Briggs at the steering wheel. Did Tucker blink or whine when Tillman went down again? No, he actually coached up first round draft choice Kyle Fuller to where he’s a lock for all rookie, probably on his way to a Pro Bowl and may just be the Defensive Rookie of the Year. Tucker’s also brought this defense along while playing significant minutes with rookie tackles Ego Ferguson
and Will Sutton, rotating Conte, Ryan Mundy, Danny McCray and rookie Brock Vereen at safety, and with no idea who his linebackers will be from week-to-week since Shea McClellin went down early with a broken hand. There is still a great deal of work to do, and the suspicion is that this is still not a playoff-caliber defense. But we thought Tucker was getting re-armed with all kinds of talent this past offseason, and instead he’s been forced to juggle aging veterans and untested youth at every level, with none of them other than Fuller and, at times, Willie Young and Stephen Paea playing at a truly high level. It’s still early, and who knows how this defense will look after back-to-back games against Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers? But right now, it looks light years better than it did in 2013. Since Mel Tucker was the target of the bulk of the complaints from media and fans alike about that dismal performance, how about we give him a little credit for the excellent job he’s done so far this year?

most improved defenses in the league. What is the most impressive part of all that? The Bears spent serious money in free agency to bring in Jared Allen and Lamarr Houston and to re-sign Jeremiah Ratliff, and those three have contributed very little to date. In fact, Houston has been practically invisible. Another big assist was supposed to come from the return of health of All Pros Charles “Peanut” Tillman and Lance Briggs, but Tillman was lost for the season early and Briggs was in street clothes again versus the Falcons as the Bears defense played its best game in years. To be clear, the Falcons may not be very good, but they entered the Bears game with the third-rated offense in the league. It performed much better in putting up 37 points against New Orleans, the NFL’s fourth rated scoring defense in 2013, and 56 points

As the Bears left Atlanta and Week 6 of the NFL season in their rear view mirror, I found myself wondering: Why aren’t the legion of Bears fans who’ve spent the better part of the past 15 months screaming for defensive coordinator Mel Tucker’s head now waiting in long lines for the chance to sing his praises? As is everything in the National Football League, the highs are always a bit too high and the lows often far too low. But here are the facts: The Bears defense was one of the worst in the NFL last year, ranking 30th in total defense, 32nd versus the run and 30th in points allowed. One of the main reasons they were so bad was they were 26th in quarterback sack percentage and 25th in third down efficiency. Following the Falcons game, the Bears defense stood 17th in total defense. They actually are now 10th versus the run and 21st in points allowed, and they are 10th in quarterback-sack percentage and 12th in third-down efficiency. Not a quantum leap, perhaps, but it’s enough to qualify the Bears as one of the
