Burr Ridge rocker mentors new generation of musicians

By DANNY CIAMPRONE BURR RIDGE – Jim Peterik kicks back on a yellow sofa chair in the upstairs studio of his Burr Ridge home, surrounded by musicians spanning multiple generations.

Standing at the microphone near a control panel keenly located in front of Peterik’s Grammy Award are the three youngest musicians in the room – two 15-year-olds and a 12-year-old. Eyes closed, the embattled 80’s rocker sways approvingly as the children rehearse one of their newest songs – a tune that he helped the young musicians write and record.

It’s one of the first times all day that Peterik has actually stopped working, instead absorbing the music as a fan – bobbing his head of glamrock purple hair and tapping his foot along to the beat.

“When we were opening up for Led Zeppelin, I’m there with my mouth open watching Jimmy Page and Robert Plant,” Peterik said. “But it’s the same excitement as today and hearing you guys sing for the first time one of these new songs.

“It’s discovery. Holy mackerel, look at Jimmy Page play; holy mackerel, listen to how these kids sound on this song.

No more thrilling than the other, it’s all one thing.”

Peterik is best known as a band member of Survivor and The Ides of March. But on March 26, he was helping out a new generation of musicians reach stardom.

AZE is a band composed

Jim Peterik of Survivor and The Ides of March works with (from left) Bob Lizik, Mike Aquino and Larry Millas on a new AZE song “Dying to Live” in his home studio March 26. of 15-year-old twins Ariel and Zoey, and their 12-year old brother Eli Engelbert. The Detroit siblings are not only part of the national music variety show, “Ariel & Zoey & Eli, Too,” but they also star in “Steal the Show,” a music reality tv series with Peterik which recently began filming its second season.

About six years ago, the kids started performing live concerts at major sporting events and military bases, then embarked on a variety show broadcasted on the now defunct “Cool TV,” accord-

ing to the father and manager Matt Engelbert.

During the third season of “Ariel & Zoey & Eli, Too,” Matt Engelbert and AZE were introduced to Peterik by one of the co-founders of Cool TV, and two years ago Peterik helped them write the anti-bullying song “Hey Bully.”

Peterik said he was in a restaurant when he started scribbling down “Hey Bully” lyrics on a napkin.

able to hear that through the iPhone,’ and I said, ‘just wait,’” Peterik said. “[AZE] heard it, and that’s what’s great, you guys have the imagination.

“You see a completed [version] before it’s anything.”

From there, an ongoing creative collaboration between Peterik and AZE was born, as they would share lyrics and riffs, intermittently recording songs and demos. “[Ariel and I] would put on our Disney princess dresses and go and sing all the songs and do concerts,” Zoey said, recalling her and her siblings’

first foray into music.

“We still do that,” Ariel added, with a laugh.

Peterik, a Berwyn native who helped Rocky Balboa defeat Mr. T with his Grammy-winning song, “Eye of the Tiger,” has come a long way himself. Over the years, he’s written and recorded radio hits, collaborated with rock and roll hall of famers and performed at major venues.

But Peterik said AZE is helping him connect with a different audience.

Now, when he performs with The Ides of March, Peterik receives comments from children of all ages who compliment “Steal the Show,” explaining that they enjoy seeing him and the young musicians work together in the studio.

“They inspire me,” he said.

“It became a passion of mine working with them, really.”

Eli, Zoey and Ariel said they were always confident in their ability, but working with Peterik has brought out the best in them.

“I’m definitely more confident now,” Ariel said. “The first time I was pretty shy, but we’re all friends now it’s like a family.”

lage’s position, according to a news release from the village of Oak Brook.

On Feb. 19, 2011, the board sustained the charges brought against Peterson for violating state statute and “several” Oak Brook police conduct regulations, according to the release.

In sustaining the charges, the board cited the contradictory testimony that Peterson gave concerning his purported reason the weapons were given to him, the circumstances by which money was transferred to him and his rationale for not immediately disclosing

the information to the Illinois State Police, according to the release.

Overall, the board found Peterson “exercised extremely poor judgment with respect to the weapons and money that he received from his father, [Drew] Peterson,” the release said.

Auxiliary officers to be deployed at Oak Brook events, fests

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com OAK BROOK – As the village of Oak Brook continues to attract more and more special events and activities, the Oak Brook Police Department continues to explore avenues to maintain and further residential safety.

Following approval from the Oak Brook Village Board on March 25, Oak Brook police will soon add an auxiliary officers unit to assist the depart-

ment during summer events, sports tournaments and large community gatherings and activities.

Ideally, the police department will staff six to 10 officers by early July, according to Police Chief James Kruger.

“What makes [auxiliary officers] unique and beneficial for us is that we’re able to bring them in when necessary for things like Taste of Oak Brook, the Oak Brook Half Marathon, large soccer tournaments and even some

duties and activities around Oakbrook Center during the holidays when we have an influx of customers coming to our community,” Kruger said.

Following the economic downturn six years ago, the Oak Brook Police Department underwent an organizational restructuring to meet financial constraints.

But now, a buoyed economy plus an influx of local events has created a need for trained, part-time auxiliary force.

“I’m very confident that

we’re staffed at the appropriate levels on a day-to-day basis,” Kruger said. “But our community also sees some fairly significantly sized special events and there’s always an interest to add new special events because of the desirability of our community.”

As village polo matches continue to increase in popularity, Kruger said there may be opportunities for auxiliary officers to also assist during those events, which will start again July 6. But Kruger em-

phasized a desire to have auxiliary officers “on board and ready to go” for the Taste of Oak Brook, which begins July 3.

The police will soon begin the hiring process for certified auxiliary officers who have graduated from the police academy. All applicants will undergo a thorough screening, including an oral interview and psychological and medical

All Dogs Should Come With A Vacuum Cleaner Attached!!!!

I don’t know about you but the only thing I can’t stand more than all this snow is all the dog hair.

Really I don’t know how my dog isn’t bald. I vacuum every day. Literally every day.

We have a deshedding treatment that cuts down on the amount of hair that will end up in your home and in your vacuum Just a few qualifiers: We ask that…

I think all shedding animals that live in a home should have a vacuum attached to them like their own personal Hair Zamboni.

You live in or close to Downers Grove Your pet is groomed regularly And your pet is not older than 8

I hate when I get off my couch and the shirt I’ve had on for minutes is covered in yellow hair (I have yellow lab)

We used to offer this to anyone but we were getting people visiting from Florida wanting this service that doesn’t seem fair…right? OR we would see dogs that were groomed once a year who were full of dread locks

My other favorite thing is when my one year old drops his binky (pacifier ) on the rug next to the couch. Next thing I know he looks like Groucho Marx without the glasses. (I have a blk lab too) I’m about to shave my dogs bald!

Yeah… the hair doesn’t stop falling out... it’s just smaller so you don’t see it as much So next time when the one year old falls to ground he’ll come up looking like Mark Harmon with a 5 o’clock shadow…

Enough of me ranting…

If I can ask you a question…?

How would you like a Free Deshedding Treatment on the house?

If you have a dog and you would like to cut down on all the hair in your home, I have a solution for you.

We are looking for dog owners who want a great styling and service for their pet. I am willing to do this for free to show you our skills. As always your satisfaction is guaranteed.

The start up cost is a little over $46,000, but the tab includes uniforms and equipment, he said. The ongoing cost will then be between $10,000 and $20,000 annually.

“One thing that is helpful is auxiliaries, by definition, are exempt from any pension laws in Illinois, so I wouldn’t expect to see an auxiliary officer work more than 20 hours in a given week on average,” he said. “Some will be far less than that, maybe closer to 20 hours a month.”

Hinsdale equestrian rider hurdles obstacles Bradley describes as a “hot head” and “very energetic.”

It took Bradley two years to learn how to control the steed.

She considered quitting several times but always decided to push forward.

“This horse taught me the definition of the word ‘patience’ because I was not very patient before,” she said.

The hard work eventually paid off when Bradley and Kaydin “swept” local equestrian riding competitions in 2010, including the Jumper Classic in St. Charles.

“That’s when I really decided that if I was willing to put in this much, time I wanted to try to get to the Olympics,” she said.

However, the lumbar degeneration diagnosis in 2013 temporarily curbed her Olympic aspirations, and she has been working with local rehabilitation center Athletico to treat the issue.

“It is something that is somewhat of a chronic issue, something that can last for a long time, especially if you continue to be active,” Athlet-

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Sweeping equestrian competitions became a common practice for Naomi Bradley and her fourlegged knight in white satin, Kaydin. But that success would only come after a trying journey pushed the limits of their patience and friendship.

“He’s never really calm,” the 20-year-old Bradley said of her horse. “If he is calm, we think there’s something wrong with him.”

Gaining that trust with Kaydin was just one of the stepping stones in Bradley’s ongoing pursuit competing in Olympic equestrian competitions, but now, an unforeseen health scare threatens to jeopardize that dream.

In December, Bradley was diagnosed with lumbar degeneration, as one or more of the discs of her spine is wearing out prematurely and causing severe back pain.

It was a blow to the Hinsdale rider, who is undergoing

Bradley first sat atop a horse as a 5-year-old living in North Carolina, but it wasn’t long before that when the family moved to Hinsdale and her mother enrolled her in equestrian riding summer camps.

“This trainer actually told my mom, ‘you know your daughter is a natural,’” she said. “’I highly recommend you keep her in the horse industry and have her compete and ride.”

She obliged, and Bradley’s horseback skills and technique blossomed.

But horseback riding is a partnership, and throughout history, some of the greatest pairings between horse and human started with a rocky relationship.

Red Pollard had Seabiscuit, a horse that was deemed mean and lazy. Charles Kurtsinger rode the fiery War Admiral, and a 16-year-old Bradley encountered her own challenge with Kaydin, a horse which

ico Trainer Anne Hinley said.

Aside from equestrian riding, Bradley is an avid recreational athlete and plays soccer, basketball, lacrosse, surfs, and runs track and field.

“Usually, you kind of start getting lumbar degeneration starting in your 30s, and it can kind of build up that way,” Hinley said. “I wouldn’t say she’s a rare case, but she is younger and is used to riding horses and is a very active person.”

Hinley and Bradley meet twice a week at Athletico, and Bradley said her pain has since reduced “substantially.”

“I love this girl,” Hinley said.

“From the moment I met her, she’s just full of energy, very positive, so much fun to talk to and she works really hard.”

Kaydin is now in retirement, but Bradley said it’s still a goal of hers to make it to the Olympics in the equestrian competition.

“I’m very happy that I’m in therapy now, getting the problem solved, because if I wasn’t doing track I probably never would’ve went to get my back x-rayed,” she said.

Suburban Life Magazine will host a luncheon in May in honor of the first Suburban Life Magazine Women of Distinction awards.

“I think it’s important to recognize women who are leaders in their community,” Suburban Life Media Promotions Manager Kelsey Rakers said.

The awards recognize women living or working in Chicago’s western suburbs. The committee looked for women who have made a difference in their local community and shown leadership in their career field.

This is the first year Shaw Media has brought the awards to the western suburbs, but the company has recognized women in McHenry, Kane and Lake counties in years past.

This year’s winners represent the best and brightest woman leaders and role models in Chicago’s western suburbs.

Winners were chosen by a selection committee from a pool of more than 70 nominations submitted by the community.

Helpful tips for preparing your taxes Did you know that our tax code is over four million words long, or more than 10 times the size of the Bible? With roughly 4,400 changes in the last decade, our complex code makes filing taxes a daunting task for millions of Americans each year. To avoid missing out on a tax credit or making a mistake that would trigger a fine, or worse, an audit, Americans end up spending some $160 billion complying and lose 6 billion hours working through the rules and regulations of the code annually.

Fortunately, there are tax assistance programs and COMMUNITY resources that can help you VOICE navigate the burdensome Peter tax code. With less than two Roskam weeks until your tax returns are due, make sure you know about these helpful programs as you file. For individuals who make $58,000 or less, the Free File Program provides free access to online tax preparation through some of the most well-known tax software companies like TurboTax and HR Block. Over 100 million taxpayers are eligible to benefit from this service which is why I introduced legislation to make the Free File Program permanent. It is a win-win for everyone – taxpayers have already saved a total of $1.1 billion since the program’s start in 2003 while costing the federal government nothing.

There are also programs that provide in-person help to Americans that qualify. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program sets up free tax return preparation between certified volunteers and taxpayers making $52,000 or less. Working with one of these professionals can help individuals navigate the tax code, and potentially save hundreds of dollars in the process.

For taxpayers 60 years old or older, the Tax Counseling for the Elderly Program provides a similar service to VITA, matching qualified volunteers who are experts in pension and retirement issues with older Americans. VITA and TCE sites can be found all over the Sixth District – from Naperville to Barrington – and also by calling 800-906-9887 and 888-227-7669, respectively.

April 15 is less than two weeks away, so make sure you’re prepared. Take time to double-check all the paperwork before singing anything. And don’t forget to file your return – in 2010 alone, the IRS reported a shocking $760 million in unclaimed refunds. For people who feel they cannot file by the deadline, request a filing extension to avoid fines.

After two years of planning and fundraising, Hinsdale Central and South high schools will install solar panels this summer. The eco and budget friendly solar panels will be entirely financed with grants and $48,000 raised via community fundraising. Construction on the solar panels should begin in June and finish up in August.

Media reporting on pension crisis is unfair

The media is not reporting the pension crisis fairly. What they are leaving out is the fact that teachers in Illinois are not eligible for Social Security. They do not get Social Security when they retire. They get their pension instead. That’s it. You can’t rip that out from under them. How would you like it if we ripped the Social Security out from everyone because we want to pay less taxes there? You can’t steal the teacher’s retirement. They need their pension.

ES TAXES FOR THE IRS –AND FOR IL- TOO! Just when you think you are done with 2013 taxes it is now 2014. The IRS requires that you pay at least 90% of the tax due or 100% of last year’s taxes to avoid a penalty. You can owe up to $1000 without problems with the IRS. Many of us pay ES tax on a quarterly basis to avoid being short at tax time.

This is the third year that IL taxes are 5%. What this means is that if you owe IL over $500 in 2014 even if you are retired and have investment income, you might have to pay IL ES tax as well as to the IRS. The first payment for both is due on or before Tuesday, April 15th, which is coming up soon.

With the summer season coming, there’s gonna be a lot of walkathons, runs and marathons for charitable organizations. Why don’t these organizations combine their walks with neighborhood cleanups? I’m sure people in the neighborhood appreciate it, and collecting donations as they clean up various blocks and sections and parks of the area, they would gather more money for their charitable organizations, instead of just people walking on an assigned path. Collect the recyclables separate, garbage separate and if there’s any hazardous materials found, keep those separate. If some group came down my block and was collecting garbage, I’d sure give them some money for doing it. And it’s a win-win situation. Neighborhood wins and the charity wins.

My husband, being in a wheelchair, could not help. Our son’s phone was not on at that time. I called 911 and was transferred to the fire department. On the telephone, they made sure there were no electrical outlets by the floor so we would not be electrocuted.

Within minutes, three firefighters were coming up my driveway.

They assessed the situation and took care of the problem for us.

City Council approves Heritage Center designs

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com DARIEN – The Darien City Council approved preliminary designs March 17 for Phase l of a Heritage Center strip mall redevelopment project.

During the meeting, the City Council heard two options for designing the cityowned strip mall at 75th Street and Cass Avenue.

The site incorporates a clock tower and fountain in the initial designs, and one of the considered designs also includes an 8-foot canopy. However, that element was quickly shot down by the council.

“After having a conversation with the architect and additional resources, the canopy is more of an outdated design,” Community Development Director Dan Gombac said. “It adds extra cost to the building, and it’s further maintenance for the building owner, whether it will be the city or some private owner.”

The other option was similar but did not include the cover canopy. Gombac said one of

the goals of redeveloping the aging strip mall is to make it a focal point of both the downtown and the city of Darien. By not having the canopy cover, it gives the buildings more visibility for motorists, he said.

“It also introduces awnings that could be put onto the building as an architectural treatment as well,” he said.

“Also, the lighting becomes very critical and adds to the ascetics of option No. 2.”

At the Jan. 6 City Council meeting, Shive Hattery Architecture Engineering was hired for $67,690 for architecture engineering for the Heritage Center strip mall. For a fee of $37,660, Christopher B. Burke Engineering will handle engineering and survey work.

Gombac said the City Council will reconvene April 7 with a motion to approve option two with the no canopy cover.

Official could begin Phase ll of the project, which includes construction drawings.

By Dr. Audrey G. Freeman, Au.D. ~ Doctor of Audiology It has been known for some time that our brain becomes smaller as we age. According to researchers from the National Institute on Aging and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, the shrinkage is even quicker in older adults who have hearing impairment.

Frank Lin, M.D., Ph.D., of Johns Hopkins and his colleagues utilized information from a long-term study comparing changing in the brain over time of adults with normal hearing and those with impaired hearing. Analyzing MRIs over many years revealed those with hearing loss lost more than an additional cubic centimeter of brain issue each year when compared with those with normal hearing. Those with impaired hearing also had significantly more shrinkage in the areas of the brain responsible for processing speech and sound. Dr. Lin explained that these areas of the brain could become atrophied from lack of stimulation of sound. He stated that these structures do not work in isolation, and other areas of the brain that play roles in memory and the sensory integration area are also involved.

Dr. Lin’s research has been supported by the Eleanor Schwartz Charitable Foundation, the National Institute on Aging, a Triological Society/American College of Surgeons Clinical Scientist Development Award, and the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders.

Dr. Lin stated, “In terms of the strengths of the findings, we’re not talking about a 20 percent or 40 percent increase: the two to five-fold higher rate of dementia we’ve docu-

mented in one study is just a huge effect.”

As the evidence and research results are mounting that hearing loss in older adults not only causes important communication problems with our friends and family, there is a strong association between cognitive decline and hearing loss.

As an audiologist with hearing loss myself, I want to do all I can to keep my brain functioning as well as I can. I wear two hearing aids all day long to be able to enjoy conversation with my friends and family, keep socially engaged with others, and to preserve my word clarity and brain functioning. Don’t you want to do the same? The one sure way to maintain the best hearing possible for your individual situation is to make an appointment to see your trusted doctor of audiology and have your hearing evaluated. The earlier you seek help, the better the odds of delaying the loss of brain function.

5 CONCERNS

Residents question Clarendon Hills proposed budget

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com CLARENDON HILLS – The Fiscal Year 2014-15 proposed budget for the village of Clarendon Hills is now on display for review, and residents have the opportunity to ask village officials questions and see their public responses.

Below are some concerns raised by residents with responses from village staff.

Public concern: I would like to raise the issue of excessively high water rates being paid in Clarendon Hills (over $10 per 1,000 gallons). By comparison, I pay exactly $5 per 1,000 gallons for my second home in Lisle.

National rates are said to range between $4 and $8 per 1,000 gallons.

Clarendon Hills: The size of the village and the type of users are the main reasons for higher than average water rates. In larger, more industrial communities, the fixed costs of the water system (major water mains and water treatment plants) can be spread out over more gallons of usage. For example, just

one large factory can use the same number of gallons as the entire residential population of a small community. The major rate increases in recent years are due to increases in water supply costs (over 100 percent) due to the city of Chicago raising its rates to the DuPage Water Commission.

Public concern: Your graph shows a 50(plus) percent increase in property taxes under the current village administration (2008-14 projected), whereas the prior five years showed a 28 percent decrease. The graph supports the resident’s claims of a tax and spend mentality on the part of the village board and staff.

Clarendon Hills: Property tax revenues have not increased by 50 percent during the time period referenced. An increase in rate does not equate to an equivalent increase in revenues. The village has no control over the rate. The village levies property taxes by setting a dollar amount, the county then adjusts property tax rates in order to capture the specified amount. The graph shows property tax

rates, which are correlated to the assessed value of homes and property in Clarendon Hills. The graph reflects the appreciation of property values in the prior five years identified and the depreciation of property values in the end of the 2000s. The village is subject to Property Tax Extension Law Limit and can only raise the total amount levied by the rate inflation or to capture growth in the assessed value. A typical homeowner will only see his or her village property taxes increased by the CPI in a given year due to the tax cap, unless his home is reassessed at a faster rate than the community at large is growing.

Public concern: Police department supplies [expenditures] have increased almost 50 percent. Prior years supply expenditures were relatively

steady – why the increase?

Clarendon Hills: The increase is due to replacement of ballistic vests that are expiring – $3,750 in administration and $3,000 in patrol. Fifty percent of the cost is anticipated to be reimbursed with a grant.

Other increase in supply costs are due to additional cabinets in the department lunchroom and training room for $2,000, and an outside storage container for unclaimed property for $1,900 that was necessary due to space restrictions.

Public concern: Public works maintenance and supplies are up 128 percent; [that figure has] remained relative constant for years, now a significant increase. Why? Clarendon Hills: The increase in public works building maintenance supplies is due to $4,000 budgeted for the fabric structure to store salt outdoors. This structure will lower salt loss and allow more cost effective salt management year to year.

Public concern: Publishing the [budget] document on [March 5] and require responses

by [March 7] did not allow sufficient time for review, as many of us work and have family responsibilities. Given its large size and level of detail, allowing such a short review period causes people to pass or ask superfluous questions. You have had months to prepare. You need to give the residents at least five days.

Clarendon Hills: The budget has been posted continuously online and placed in the library since Monday, March 3. An update was posted on March 6 that impacted the capital fund balance only.

There was no Friday deadline for comment. We only asked that residents email us questions if they want them publicly responded to before the March 15 budget workshop.

More importantly, there is still much time for feedback and input from the public prior to passage of the budget.

The budget will be presented again at a public hearing on April 7 and discussed and passed at an open meeting on April 21. Therefore, the budget will not be passed until 50 days after the initial draft was made available to the public.

HINSDALE – At a special meeting Wednesday, the Hinsdale Township High School District 86 Board of Education appointed Naperville resident William B. Eagan III as its chief financial officer effective April 14.

Eagan, a certified public accountant and certified managerial accountant, fills a position that had been vacant since the resignation of the district’s previous business manager Jeff Eagan (no relation) in July. Since that time, the district’s business operations had been overseen by interim business managers, according to a news release from District 86.

Eagan will join District 86 following an eight-year tenure with Kraft Foods, where he served in a variety of finance and accounting positions, including his most recent role as plant controller.

$25M Le Méridien ChicagoOakbrook Center set to open

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com OAK BROOK – Simon Fricker has been everywhere, man – across the pond and from state to state helping luxury hotels succeed.

Originally from Switzerland and now living in Elmhurst, Fricker has worked in hotels in Zurich, New York and Las Vegas.

His latest endeavor, though, landed him at Le Méridien Chicago-Oakbrook Center, formerly the Renaissance Hotel, 2100 Spring Road.

Fricker is spear heading a a $25 million overhaul and attests the Le Méridien will boast a design concept, amenities and artwork which bring ornate French luxury to Oak Brook.

Part of the transformation includes two spa suites, a new bar and restaurant, a 3,000-square-foot grand salon ballroom and an executive club lounge. In addition to the 172 rooms and suites with amenities, there also is a state-ofthe-art fitness center.

Fricker, the general manager, said there were two reasons why he wanted to come to Oak Brook to work at the hotel, its proximity to Chicago and the project.

“The project to me sounded so exciting,” Fricker said. “I just felt this was the right time to join.”

Not only will the hotel mimic Parisian luxury, it also will showcase local arts community. Each guest room will display original works by local artists such as a one-of-a-kind mural by Chicago Artists Coalition’s Justus Roe, according to Fricker.

Additionally, the ninth floor blends designs from the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair with different types of bicycles, a staple in the Oak Brook

The updates Le Méridien Chicago – Oakbrook Center will include: • Two spa suites • New bar and restaurant • 3,000-square-foot grand salon ballroom • Executive club lounge • Fitness center • 172 rooms and suites, including a presidential suite and six executive suites community, Fricker said.

“That’s kind of taking a Chicago subject and localizing it more to Oak Brook, so it’s two different things combined,” he said.

Train transportation is also a theme captured in the layout of each floor.

“When you go to every floor, the elevator opens, and there’s a picture taken at the ‘L’ train at different distances from Chicago, so it’s a very interesting approach,” he said.

The Renaissance has been empty for about two years, but construction of the 10-story facade is almost complete, and Le Méridien is scheduled to open in July, Fricker said.

However, renovating a building of it’s magnitude and grandeur is not without it’s challenges.

“It’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get,” he said.

The little problems can grow into largest ones. Fricker said a complete overhaul like Le Méridien Chicago requires an acute attention to detail.

“Sometimes, I wake up at night and think, ‘Did I think of this or did I think of that,’” he said. “It takes a lot to operate a hotel. When you see a hotel … but it takes a lot to open its doors. It’s a fun challenge.”

Restaurant reviews

Mago conjures lively setting for Mexican dining BOLINGBROOK – When dining out, sometimes it’s nice to get hit with some degree of spectacle – bright colors, live music and big tastes. For those times, Mago Grill & Cantina in Bolingbrook is a fine place to indulge in elevated Mexican fare.

The decor hits you like a hot pepper. The walls are painted in bright purple and orange, with the restaurant’s name in giant, pop-art letters adorning one side. Rows of luchador masks line the back walls. Another wall shows off row upon row of various tequilas and spirits, all in colorful displays. A live mariachi band began playing among patrons as my date and I left – and the table they were singing to seemed delighted.

The meal started like many do at Mexican restaurants, with chips and salsa. Mago, however, upped the ante with warm chips and a trio of three brightly colored and wonderfully fresh and flavorful salsas. The cilantro-based one was a personal favorite.

We followed with a ceviche tasting, featuring a citrusy shrimp, lime and cilantro tilapia, and scallop chile.

Much like their salsa predecessors, all three were highly distinctive. The scallop, in particular, was well-cooked and deftly balanced with some vinegar acidity. The shrimp dish included olive tidbits, adding a layer of complexity and welcome contrast with the other two.

And the main events – the chicken mole and the beef and cheese chile rellenos – both deeply impressed.

I noticed that Mago devoted an entire page of the menu to five different types of mole sauces and their eight meat

More photos online To see more photos from Mago, find this story online at PlanitLife.com/mysterydiner pairings, explaining the lengthy preparation needed to make them just right. Thankfully, that time and dedication were evident in the flavor.

The mole ranchero, featuring chile ancho, chile pasilla and pumpkin seeds, was very straightforward, but had a ring of authentic smokiness that screamed care and love.

And simply put, the rellenos were some of the best I have ever had. Both the cheese and beef versions were perfectly breaded and fried, with nary a bit of batter coming off the peppers as you ate them.

But the true test was my date, who is a connoisseur of the stuff. She, too, gave them the stamp of approval – they managed to have strong flavors without overpowering any one ingredient. The beef was well-seasoned and stood its own under delicious heaps of sauce, while the cheese had just enough body to remain intact yet perfectly melted.

Solid roster boosts Hinsdale South

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com

Shaw Media file photo

Hinsdale South’s Don Buonavolanto fields a ground ball in a game last year. Buonavolanto is one of several infielders returning this season for the Hornets.

DARIEN – If coaches could build their ideal baseball team, most would start their squad with a solid defensive infield and a deep pitching staff.

That’s exactly what Hinsdale South has this season, a reason for optimism for the Hornets.

“I think we should be in decent shape,” head coach Paul Hoel said. “We have a lot of guys who played roles for us last year.”

In the infield, Northern Illinois recruit Don Buonavolanto is back at shortstop and Joe Oehmen returns to second base. Brian Hoel, the coach’s son, saw time at various positions last season and will play third base. Joe Jablonski returns behind the plate.

“Our infield is really solid,” coach Hoel said. “We glove the ball really well behind our pitchers, and our pitchers, we have six quality guys. I don’t think we have a No. 1-type guy, but they’re all like No. 2 and 3-type guys.”

Jon Uba, Eric Benson and Mike Mullaney all saw time on the mound in 2013 as nonconference starters. Juniors Anthony Nicholas and Lucas Carlson and sophomore Tim Dziergas figure to be part of the starting rotation.

Dziergas will play at first base when not pitching, while Mullaney will see time in left field. Dean Serritella is slated to play center field and Mike Meyers will see time in right.

Offensively, South doesn’t have any big boppers but does have a lineup that can bunt, run and do other things to pressure defenses.

“We’re a singles team, but

all nine guys can run,” Hoel said. “It’s going to come down to getting base hits and getting on, bunting guys over, taking advantage of balls in the dirt and things like that. Our guys like the way we play. They embrace it.”

The Hornets had their first three games postponed because of weather but left for the four-game USA Classic tournament in Tennessee on Tuesday.

“It’s 16 teams from all over the country and it’s some good competition,” Hoel said.

“It’s a great opportunity for us, and it’s nice, too, because we’ll be able to get our pitchers throwing every day.”

The Hornets are two-time defending West Suburban Gold champs, compiling a 32-4 conference record the last two seasons (16-2 each season). Winning a third straight title is a goal but isn’t a major topic of discussion.

“We don’t even talk about it,” Hoel said. “That’s a goal every year, so they know that’s what the plan is. We try to talk about doing the little things to give ourselves a chance to be in that position at the end of the year.”

BASEBALL PREVIEW

Defensive depth will help Hinsdale Central

By JASON ROSSI

Hinsdale Central Red Devils

jrossi@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Heading into the 2013 season, pitching was the No. 1 asset for Hinsdale Central’s baseball team.

The Red Devils had three Division I starters – Christian Bokich (Miami of Ohio), Adam Dressler (Purdue) and Bobby Skogsbergh (Boston College) – and depth in the bullpen.

The pitching staff will have a new look this spring as Jason Ziemer enters his first season as Central’s head coach after seven years at Proviso West.

Charlie Banke, Austin Butler and Nick Senicka combined to throw 27 innings last year.

Senior Max Peters and juniors Ben Chapman, Tom Lorenc and Dan Teska are expected to be a part of the pitching staff.

Matt Muellner will catch.

It’s a different story behind the mound and plenty of experience returns defensively.

“In the infield, we have experienced seniors at almost every position,” Ziemer said.

Peters at third base, shortstop Ryan Haff and first baseman Jacob White all return.

Haff played second base most of last season but will slide over to shortstop to accommodate Matt Bruns at second.

Hinsdale Central’s Chris Botsoe takes a cut at the plate in a game last season. The Red Devils have an overhauled pitching staff, but Botsoe is one of several field players returning this spring.

Louisville recruit Chris Botsoe returns to center field after batting .444 with 25 runs scored and 11 stolen bases last season.

He brings more than just the bat, although – he committed just two errors last season.

“We have an experienced infield defensively, and offensively I think we’ll hit,” Ziemer said. “I think it will come down to our pitching.

If we can throw strikes and make other teams put the ball

in play, I think we’ll be fine.”

In terms of overall play, aggressive is the word Ziemer wants to get across.

“I want them to them to be aggressive in all facets of the game,” Ziemer said. “Be ag-

P CF P SS C P 1B

gressive in the strike zone as far as pitchers go. We want the kids to be aggressive offensively and defensively. If they make a mistake, we want them to make an aggressive mistake.”

His tenure at Proviso West made Ziemer keenly aware of the grind of playing in the West Suburban Silver conference.

Teams like Lyons Township and Oak Park-River Forest are perennially some of the top squads in the state, and Downers Grove North and Glenbard West are always competitive.

“We’re going to take it one game at a time,” Ziemer said.

“We have 35 games in a month and a half, so we know we have to take them one at a time.”
