Kathleen Roberts, owner of Potted Petals Inc. in Lombard, organizes ornaments on a Christmas tree Tuesday in the shop. The independent shop recently was named one of “25 Gifted Retailers 2013” by Gifts and Decorative Accessories, a national trade publication. According to the publication, “Gifts and Decorative Accessories’ exclusive report, ‘25 Gifted Retailers 2013’, presents snapshots of independent

gift and decorative accessory retailers that are using innovative approaches to marketing and merchandising and are making a difference in

their communities.” Aside from an active social media presence on Facebook and LinkedIn, the store continually strives to hold one-of-

a-kind events, Roberts said. “We have ladies nights out, classes, open houses – we’re always trying to do something different and unique,” she said. Potted Petals also has charitable events that include fundraisers for The Humane Society. The publication compiled the list by surveying independent retailers, researching business newspaper archives and speaking with gift industry insiders, according to a description of how the list of winners was compiled. Gifts and Decorative Accessories is owned by Sandow Media, and is published 10 times a year. According to the company, the publication “provides gift business professionals with timely news and information to enhance and grow their businesses.”

LOMBARD – A Lombard gift and decor shop was recently named one of the top independent gift retailers in the country. Potted Petals, Inc., 732 S. Main St., was named to the list of “25 Gifted Retailers 2013” by Gifts and Decorative Accessories. The results were published in the trade publication’s November issue. “It’s really cool when you find out there’s only 25 they considered,” said Kathleen Roberts, owner of Potted Petals and a Lombard resident. “It makes you feel pretty special that they think that you’re special.” The application process was in-depth, and included an essay, financial information, list of events and pictures of the store, Roberts said. Winners were spread out geographically across the United States, and also included one shop from Auckland, New Zealand. Potted Petals, which has been open for nine years, was one of three businesses from Illinois.

Downtown parking lot acquisition benefits village, condo owners By MATTHEW PIECHALAK mpiechalak@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – The acquisition of a parking lot located on St. Charles Road will provide additional commercial parking downtown and will rectify a residential parking issue with an adjacent condo association, according to village officials. The Lombard Village Board of Trustees on Dec. 5 voted unanimously to approve the $100,000 purchase of the parking lot, located at 109-115 W. St. Charles Road. The owner of the property, deemed the “Hummer Trust

Property,” is the Wayne Hummer Trust Company. The village will fund the purchase using money from its downtown TIF district, confirmed William Heniff, Lombard community development director. Additionally, trustees voted unanimously to enter into a contract with the homeowner’s association of the Park West Condominium Building, 105 W. St. Charles Road, that will allow for the sale of nine existing garages located on the south portion of the parking lot – garages that officials acknowledge should have

originally been the property of the nine condo owners. Per the resolution, each of the nine condo owners agrees to reimburse the village an individual sum of $6,432 to obtain the enclosed garages – a total of $57,888. The price includes $45,000 for the spaces, and $12,888 to grant Park West non-exclusive easements for ingress/egress. The money will be redistributed back into the downtown TIF district, Heniff said. According to the contract, per law, the sale price needed to be at least 80 percent of the appraised property value of

the garage space, which was valued at $49,500. “The village shall receive unit owner mortgages for each of the individual unit owners in the amount of $6,432,” the contract states. Andrew Gurney, president of the Park West Homeowners Association, said the nine condo owners believe the purchase price and terms of the sale are fair. “All nine unit owners voted, and we would like to see this purchase go through to acquire the titles to the garages,” Gurney told the village board during last week’s meeting. The village has been discussing the purchase with the current property owner since last year, Heniff said. The condo owners should have originally owned the garage spaces, but a gaffe in the contract between the developer and original owner more than a decade ago failed to include a legal description of the garages, trustees said prior to the vote. “The legal documents didn’t

match up with the contract is what it sounds like,” said Trustee Peter Breen, adding that he was surprised that neither party, nor the attorneys who likely would have reviewed the original documents, caught the missing language. “To me, I’m shocked at how many different people either actively misrepresented or just missed points here,” Breen said. “Today, we’ve got folks who do not have the right to their own garage.” None of the current village trustees were serving on the board in 2001 when the development was constructed. With the purchase, the village will maintain the parking lot, and officials look forward to adding additional parking to the downtown. “This has been quite an issue to deal with, [but] we’ve done our due diligence to come up with a resolution that benefits the condo owners and we will get an [additional] parking lot downtown,” said Village President Keith Giagnorio.

Lombard firefighter/paramedic Bob Hopper cuts up onions and green peppers for his Firehouse Cheesesteak recipe.

Recipe lands Lombard firefighter on WGN News By MATTHEW PIECHALAK mpiechalak@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – A firefighter has a busy job, making it important to find meal recipes that are both quick and fulfilling, said Bob Hopper, firefighter/paramedic for the Lombard Fire Department. “We’re a pretty busy department, and most times, we want to get something together quick,” said Hopper, who last week was featured on WGN News for his cheese steak recipe. Among his colleagues in the firehouse, Hopper is known for his satisfying recipes – including his Firehouse Cheesesteak. The popularity of the sandwich recently prompted Hopper to submit the recipe to WGN News’ midday segment, “Lunchbreak” with Dina Bair. “All the guys love this sandwich,” said Hopper, who has been making the recipe for roughly a year. “I sent it in and next thing I know, I got on.” His live television debut was a cool experience, Hopper said, adding that it was a bit nerve-wracking making a cheesesteak recipe for Bair. “She made me a little nervous because she is originally from Philadelphia,” he said.

Firehouse Cheesesteak • Lean beef tenderloin • Yellow onions • Green peppers • A bit of mayonnaise • Mozzarella cheese (because it melts quicker than traditional provolone) • Italian hoagie roll Overall, Hopper said, the recipe is simple, but making it with quality ingredients like fresh beef is what makes it work. “We always talk about what we’re going to have for lunch and the guys (often) have a taste for cheesesteaks,” he said. Hopper, who has been with the department for seven years, said his favorite food is buffalo wings. He has recently been making a buffalo ranch chicken wrap that his fellow firefighters enjoy. Hopper also enjoys making chili, and has the accolades to prove it. He has won more than half-a-dozen chili cookoffs, he said, including the last two years at 115 Bourbon Street in Merrionette Park and at Rock Bottom Brewery in both Lombard and Orland Park.

Lombard man charged with felony tax fraud

To make cancer a thing of the past, we created the cancer center of the future.

LBS

A Lombard man with a business in Villa Park was one of four Chicago-area gas station owners charged with defrauding the state more than a combined $1 million in sales taxes, the Illinois Attorney General’s office announced today. Nawaz Mirza, 58, of Lombard, was charged with two felony counts of mail fraud and 18 felony counts of filing a fraudulent state tax return. Mirza, owner of Mirza Enterprises in Villa Park, reportedly evaded more than $90,000 in taxes between January 2009 and December 2011. Mirza was arrested Nov. 15 and freed on bond, according to Dawn Domrose, spokeswoman for the DuPage County Sheriff’s Police. The investigation was a joint effort between the attorney general and the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR). “The defendants have illegally profited at the expense of the state and Illinois taxpayers,” Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan said in a release. IDOR Director Brian Hamer added that he is pleased to see the courts impose increasingly tough sanctions on individuals who file false tax returns. According to the release, the cases are the latest crackdown in a joint investigation that, to date, has recovered roughly $85 million owed to Illinois from gas station operators who evade sales tax payments.

million people worldwide, according to the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation. The disease causes problems with the sensory and motor nerves – the nerves that run from the arms and legs to the spinal cord and brain. Of the 30 or so types of CMT, Tessa was diagnosed with Type 2A, and pending the discovery of a treatment, will likely be confined to a wheelchair by age 8 or 9, her parents said. The Pates began to notice something wasn’t right with Tessa at age 2, when her gait was slightly off. Eventually, a gene test conducted at the University of Chicago would confirm the peripheral nerve damage. “We searched for two years for a diagnosis,” Heather Pate said. “This is really bad – just the whole idea that something that she has could be taken away from her.” CMT is a hereditary disease almost as common as multiple sclerosis and affects up to 10 percent of the population by age 60 or 70, explained Dr. Michael Shy, professor of neurology at the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics. CMT is one of Shy’s specialties. CMT Type 2A is generally more severe and usually presents itself early in childhood, Shy said. Aggressive research is geared to discovering treatments for CMT, including Type 2A, Shy said. While physical and occupational therapy is the only current treatment, he points out that before 1990 there was no known cause of CMT, and to date 70 genes have been identified. “The whole field is fairly new,” he said. Tessa walks with leg braces, which she refers to as her “wonderboots,” and every Tuesday, she undergoes physical therapy including swimming, piano and core workouts intended to keep her strong and to give her the best

nothing you can do to slow down the progression as it runs its course.” Once the initial shock wore off, Jay and Heather Pate decided to be proactive. Jay Pate started the Facebook page, “Cure My Tessa,” to raise awareness and to get the Lombard community to rally behind his daughter. As of last week, the page had 405 likes. The Pates plan to organize local fundraisers next spring in support of their daughter. “We wanted to get out in front of the problem,” he said. “Let’s stand up, make people aware and fight this.”

At just 4 years old, it’s difficult for Tessa to understand her affliction, Heather Pate said. “For now, she has got such a great spirit and she’s still very positive, and that’s my goal – to keep her positive,” she said. Receiving the negative diagnosis caused Jay Pate to go through a variety of emotions including denial, anger and acceptance, similar to losing a loved one, he said. “The thing that is most frightening about it is there’s

The DuPage County Board on Tuesday approved the rezoning of the Ken Loch Golf Links property near Lombard, allowing a developer to move forward with a planned multi-family home development project. The County Board voted 15-2 to approve rezoning the 31-acre golf course at 1 S. 601 Finley Road, to allow for the construction of multi-family units. District 2 board members Peter DiCianni and Sean Noonan voted against the rezoning request. DuPage District 2 includes the Village of Lombard. “The concern I have as a member of this board and as a representative of this district is what if this upscale district doesn’t turn out to be upscale?” DiCianni said prior to the vote. “What if they have challenges with rentals?” Fellow District 2 board member Elizabeth Chaplin, who voted to approve the rezoning, thanked concerned Lombard residents she spoke with, but added that the owner has a right to sell their property and that the development should be a good fit for the area. “This property is going to be developed,” Chaplin said. “I would rather see multi-family homes go in there than something worse.” Real estate developer Donven Homes has been seeking approval to rezone the property, located just south of Four Season Park in Lombard. Ken Loch is owned by Kensinger Realty. “We find this very favorable news,” Donven President Donald Stevens said following the vote. The Lombard Village Board of Trustees has continually objected to the rezoning, citing that building townhomes on the for-sale golf course is not consistent with the village’s comprehensive plan, as well as past comprehensive plans of DuPage County. Village officials have stated their desire to keep the land as open space. “Lombard does not want this development. Lombard

does not need this development,” Lombard President Keith Giagnorio told the County Board during public comments Tuesday. “We come to you as Lombardians, but also as DuPage County voters,” he said. “I implore you, listen to your constituents and do not approve this development.” Despite claims from local officials that the Village of Lombard, the Lombard Park District and the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County all have interest in purchasing the land, none of the parties have made formal plans with the owner, said Michael Roth, an attorney representing Donven and Kensinger. “The owners cannot continue to run it as a golf course – it’s not profitable,” Roth said during public comments. “There have been no offers to buy the property for the preservation of open space.” Adding an amendment to the rezoning ordinance, the County Board unanimously approved a measure that requires any change in ownership structure on the property to be reported to the County within 30 days. Moving forward, Lombard trustees can opt to forcibly annex the property into the village, county officials confirmed during the meeting. However, it’s a maneuver the board does not plan to make, Giagnorio confirmed Wednesday. “There’s a misconception that if we stepped in today and force-annexed the property, that all of the sudden the magic wand is waved and we have complete say-so,” Giagnorio said. “In the real world, what it would do is drag us into a lawsuit with the developer.” The village plans to monitor the development plan closely as it progresses, and is willing to work with the developer, Giagnorio said. “I would say that we’re not just slamming the door on them,” Giagnorio said. Obviously, they’re our neighbors and we have to look at them as we would Glen Ellyn, Downers Grove, Villa Park. We’re going to take it from there and have a wait-and-see attitude.”

We strive to develop a sense of community spirit in our students, and as we head into the holiday season, we want to take a moment to share a few examples of how our students and staff help better the communities in which we live. The District 88 Board of Education, along with superintendent Dr. Scott Helton and the entire District 88 family, is proud of these efforts, and we look forward to continuing to support them. Blazers give back: In October, Addison Trail students and staff were dedicated to raising money for breast cancer research through our Go Pink or Go Home fundraiser. During November, it was Movember at Addison Trail, as 57 staff members and administrators grew mustaches or supported those growing mustaches to raise money in support of men’s health awareness. Last month, we hosted our annual blood drive, and the Addison Trail Lettermen Club hosted a Run-a-Thon to raise money for student scholarships and to help members of the community in need. Last, but certainly not least, Addison Trail gives back to its community through its service clubs during the year. From participating in the Kiwanis Peanut Days, to hosting our annual Senior Citizen Thanksgiving Luncheon, to our INTERACT Club helping at our local homeless shelter, giving back to Addison is a cornerstone of Blazer Pride. Warriors give back: During the holiday season, the Willowbrook Key Club coordinates an annual food drive to support local food pantries, and the Warrior Project supports local families and children by providing gifts for those who might otherwise not receive them. Our students regularly volunteer at food pantries, shelters and the Feed My Starving Children organization. And the Willowbrook Parent Organization (WPO) coordinates an annual apparel drive, which collects new or slightly used winter hats, gloves and coats for local shelters. Willowbrook also is dedicated to the fight against cancer and hosts the annual Relay For Life of District 88 All Youth, which has raised more than $160,000 for the American Cancer Society during the past three years. The Warriors For A Cure campaign, which raises funds throughout the month of October for breast cancer research. Our Warriors give back in an effort to support local, national and even international projects. One example is our Senior Class Service Project. This year, the class of 2014 has committed to completing 10,000 hours of community service. Last year, the class of 2013 raised $22,000 and packed 108,000 meals to help feed malnourished children in Guatemala.

As the weather gets cold and icy, DuPage County Stormwater Management is encouraging residents to reduce their use of road salt this winter, according to a county news release. Road salts often are carried into storm drains and streams via stormwater runoff, the release said, causing high chloride concentrations that can be harmful to aquatic life and effect freshwater resources. The release suggests removing snow prior to applying a deicer, applying it in limited amounts and properly storing deicer products for reuse.

Mad about Mandela Good riddance, Mandela. The media played him up like some kind of international messiah. Fact is, he was sent to prison for criminal charges of possession of a case of hand grenades. Let’s not forget Winnie Mandela, whose organization would murder blacks if they so much as said “good afternoon” to a police officer on the street. Fact – they would get hold of them, call them informants, put rubber tires around them, fill them with gas and set them on fire. I didn’t expect the liberal media to print the truth about that. These things were documented, and many times filmed. Dig a little deeper, media.

Against the sports complex Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves continues to press forward trying to build a sports complex in Lemont. He tried to get it through previously without any input from the residents. He only gave us a 30-day notice, but we exercised our right and had enough signatures on a petition to force it to go to referendum. As it stands today, he’s been trying to secure private financing for the sports complex and is unable to do so because the investors do not want to invest in polluted land that the Village of Lemont does not own; the land is owned by the water reclamation district. So, if the private investors have no desire to invest in a $20 million sports complex, what gives him the right to burden the taxpayers with a $20 million bond so if this thing fails it’s up to the taxpayers to bail it out? Bottom line, if he cannot secure private investors for this $20 million sports complex, why does he continue pressing on and still wants it to bring it to referendum? The private investors don’t want it, and we don’t want it either.

Obama a broken record I count approximately seven speeches Obama has done attempting to sell his great signature health care achievement to the American people since his partisan law was passed. Is it just me that he sounds like a broken record when he uses much the same rhetoric over and over again with no changes; thus, saving the expense of any new speech writing?

Done with Advanced Disposal Advanced Disposal was put in place as Darien’s garbage/ recycling haulers less than two years ago. They have raised the garbage sticker price 50 percent so far in their short term. We had 10 bags of leaves lined up for pick up with one sticker on the first bag, and they left a note that each bag needs a sticker. If they think we’re going to pay over $20 to have leaves picked up, forget it. With the 50 percent increase and unreasonable additional fees, Advanced Disposal needs to go.

Radio station promises county coverage By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com When listening to radio news in the suburbs, the lead stories often revolve around the city of Chicago. However, a station that just moved to Wheaton is hoping to change the conversation to DuPage County. AM 1530 WCKG recently opened a studio near downtown Wheaton as part of its effort to cover local communities. “I’ve lived and worked out here my whole life,” said station general manager Matt Dubiel. “And on the news at

on the weekends and during the lunch hour. WCKG’s move to Wheaton, the county seat, reflects the station’s desire to entrench itself in the area, he said. Financial planner Terry Heafey of Palos Heights cohosts one of the station’s two existing local shows, “Wealth Essentials Radio.” He and fellow host Randy Barcella, a real estate appraiser, answer financial questions from DuPage County residents. Heafey said a rapport with local listeners is key, especially in the world of personal finance. “On the radio, we can pull

back the curtain a little bit,” he said. “It’s an avenue where we are allowed to cut through the noise and provide clarity on an individualized basis.” Dubiel said the station would slowly but surely embrace community radio. “If there’s a local baker who has really good cookies in Wheaton, she can come on and talk about that,” he said. “There’s Omega Restaurant in Downers Grove that’s been there since I was 3 and is a heritage restaurant in Downers Grove. Every town has something like that, but we only hear news from the city.”

ing System. The battery-powered, hydraulic stretchers are capable of lifting and lowering patients weighing up to 700 pounds with the push of a button. The gurney is engineered to increase the margin of safety for emergency personnel, who will no longer need to physically lift and lower the stretchers. The loading system is designed to support the stretcher and move it during loading and un-

loading. While it used to take several paramedics to load a stretcher safely, the new system requires just one to adjust the stretcher height and secure it onto the loading system. Shoulder and back injuries sustained from lifting, pushing and pulling during training and emergency calls are the most costly workers’ compensation injuries, according to a release from the department.

Restaurant reviews

Barone’s builds buzz with pizza prowess GLEN ELLYN – A serious craving for pizza one recent Sunday afternoon prompted us to try someplace new, Barone’s of Glen Ellyn, which turns out to be a community institution steeped in the village’s history and in the noble art of the American pie. Founded in 1971, the restaurant has two dining rooms, decorated with photos tracing the history of Glen Ellyn, with an homage to earlier identities such as Danby and Prospect Park written prettily across faux-finished walls. Warmly greeted as we were directed to our table, we were treated to one of several booths with a digital frame shuffling through a display of historic photographs, which proved great fun and a conversation kick-starter. The attractively designed space is conducive to conversation, even as the rooms began to fill shortly following the daily mid-afternoon opening. Looking for an interesting brew, my dining companion found Mama’s Little Yella Pils, which he recommends for its crisp, clean flavor, and I enjoyed a generously poured house cabernet. Cocktails are available, along with a variety of wines and craft beers. While we studied the menu, which extends to Italian dishes and other staples in addition to pizza, we enjoyed thick slices of crusty bread accompanied by a petite carafe of olive olive for dipping and a shaker of Parmesan. While good enough to be homemade, the bread turned out to be from Turano Baking Company of Berwyn. We opened with a delicious wedge salad, with ultra crisp iceberg lettuce smothered in the house bleu cheese dressing and well sprinkled with diced tomato and crunchy, flavorful bacon for zesty contrasts in texture and taste. A cross-country celebrity argument recently in the news about the merits of Chicago’s stuffed pizza vs. traditional crust was resolved peacefully

Barone’s has been a popular dining destination in Glen Ellyn since 1971.

The “small” stuffed pizza is a substantial treat for pizza lovers and will Crisp flavors set this wedge salad apart – did we mention all the basatisfy the heartiest appetite. con, plus tomato? long ago at Barone’s, which embraces thin crust, pan and stuffed pizza. Thankfully, it also offers a delicious gluten-free crust option that I tried with sausage, onions and a plentiful topping of fresh mushrooms. This alternate thin crust with its mildly tell-tale sweetness means the welcome end of deprivation for pizza lovers trying to avoid gluten. My companion went for the stuffed pie, with fresh spinach, mushroom and bacon.

“While not classic Chicago style, it’s a tasty suburban twist,” he said. And while he ordered a “small” pizza, it provided eight massive slices – and ample leftovers for lunches. The service was terrific, and we liked being able to help ourselves to water refills with a wine-bottle-cum-watercarafe as we lingered over the meal. The menu ranges from pasta and Italian specialties to barbecue ribs, burgers, soups

and salads, with gluten-free pasta also available. Off the dining rooms is a spacious entry area that accommodates pickup and delivery services, and houses a freezer case of pizza and other dishes that folks can take home to finish cooking in their own kitchen. Another case holds tempting desserts, ideal to take along if you haven’t left enough room at dinner. Also sold are package wine and beer, candy, ice cream and ices.

As we walked to its parking lot, we spotted Barone’s playroom for kids, featuring toys and video games with several rapt young people – another thoughtful touch at this venerable family restaurant.

Modernize the holiday by choosing a salmon and chartreuse color scheme over traditional red and green, mentions Canepa. “If this part of the color wheel leaves you flat, use the symbols of Christmas like candy canes, reindeer, stars, pinecones, stockings, candles and balls - but make sure they are other hues than red and green. Add white, lots of white, which adds pop.” Silver, gold and mirrored surfaces are also appropriate and modern, as are neutral colors such as white, gray and beige when combined with shiny materials. “Silver is the metallic accent that ties [this year’s holiday] colors together,” says Ann Durkin, part-time adjunct faculty professor of Interior Design at The Art Institute of Phoenix. Durkin adds that this holiday season marks a shift toward textures that express warmth through materials - such as wood, suede and burlap. “There is a strong desire for more touchable handmade or nature-made objects with a modern twist.-This can be an embroidered or knitted pillow covers, textured rugs or a burlap tree skirt.”

She advises holiday decorators to keep things simple and to showcase special pieces such as handmade ornaments. “There is no need to buy new decorations every year.-But don’t let the old decorations drive your design for the space.”-Be selective in how you will re-use them. Durkin says that updating old ornaments can be as simple as repainting them with matte silver paint and affixing silver beads with a sheer silver bow. Old ornaments may also be re-covered with fabrics such as burlap, to give an earthy hand-made appearance.-”This way you can still preserve the original look of the ornament, if it makes sense to use it again in the future. Think of it as a slip-cover for your ornament. “The overall idea is to have fun and re-use existing decorations as much as possible by reinventing them,” Durkin states. The key to this holiday season’s decorating: keeping things simple yet chic while matching your personal style. “Create a timeless ensemble which could extend beyond the holiday season and be used as the basic foundation for your interiors throughout the year,” says Durkin.

(BPT) - This year’s holiday season is taking on a decidedly modern twist, with an emphasis on recycling and repurposing old decorations, utilizing sustainable decor, and adding sparkle to complete the look. Shari Canepa, American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), member, LEED Green Associate, and a member of the interior design faculty at The Art Institute of California - San Francisco, a campus of Argosy University, says that sustainability begins with the icon of Christmas: the Christmas tree. “It can no longer be artificial or cut. Bring a potted tree into your home with the intention of planting it after Christmas in the yard. The idea is to save a tree and plant a tree, giving a gift to nature after Christmas.” Canepa recommends creating a new focal point in the public area of your home to reinforce the spirit of the season. “You can do this with a tree, wreaths, special seasonal decorative accessories or lighting. Shifting the focal point changes your psychological relationship to the room.” To design a new focal point, Canepa suggests an arrangement of various sized potted trees that can be conveniently moved. Create a mini forest of varying sizes and heights and decorate with lights and ornaments. “Supple evergreen branches wrapped around a stair banister with or without lights is also a nice addition.” To continue the sustainable trend, utilize energy-friendly LED lights around pictures, ceiling moldings, desk railings, in interior flower arrangements or on door casings. “Sophisticated or elegant interiors move toward white lights while energetic, youthful or modern themes make use of the color option. These energy saving lights make using lots of sparkle for Christmas guilt-free,” Canepa says.

| HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

Holly and mistletoe are symbols of Christmas h, by gosh, by golly it’s time for mistletoe and holly. Tasty pheasants, Christmas presents, countrysides covered in snow.” As exemplified by this holiday hit by Henry Sanicola, Frank Sinatra and Dok Stanford, holly and mistletoe are an integral part of holiday imagery and tradition. Holly is used to adorn a home in green and red finery alongside evergreen boughs and wreaths. In addition, it has become customary to hang a bouquet of mistletoe under which people are encouraged to share a holiday kiss. While these elements of celebrations are now incorporated into many of the secular and religious components of Christmas, they have very different origins.

“O

Whether faux or fresh mistletoe, a bouquet of this plant symbolizes peace and tranquility for Christmas.

Holly

Holly has been used since the days of the early Pagans as a decoration for midwinter festivities, when it was brought into homes to keep evil spirits away. The ancient Romans also believed that holly prickles drove away evil spirits, and it held a place of honor at December festivals dedicated to the god Saturn. To avoid persecution during the Roman pagan Saturnalia festival, early Christians would participate in the tradition of hanging evil-repelling holly on their homes to appear like the masses. Eventually as the number of Christians grew, the tradition became less of a pagan one and more associated with Christians and Christmas. Some people have inferred that holly and its prickly edges is symbolic of the crown of thorns Jesus wore at his crucifixion, with the red berries representing blood.

Mistletoe

Mistletoe was once held sacred by the Norse, Celtic Druids and North American Indians. It is actually a parasitic plant that grows on a wide range of host trees. Heavy infestation can dwarf the growth and kill these trees. In cultures across pre-Christian Europe, mistletoe was seen as a representation of divine male essence (and thus romance, fertility and vitality). The plant also was thought to be a symbol of peace, and anyone standing below it should receive tokens of affection. When enemies met

beneath mistletoe, they had to lay down their weapons and observe a truce until the next day. This is how the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe likely began, and why a ball of mistletoe is now hung in homes during Christmas, a season of peace and affection. Homeowners who hang mistletoe and holly around their homes during the holiday season should be mindful of pets and youngsters around the plants. Mistletoe and holly are considered to be moderately to severely toxic, and ingesting the leaves could be dangerous. Therefore, keep these plants away from curious hands. Mistletoe is commonly hung up high, which should make it less problematic, but holly should be hung high as well. Now largely associated with Christmas celebrations, holly and mistletoe were once part of pagan rituals and ancient superstitions.

(BPT) - Cinnamon may be the world’s most popular baking spice, but all cinnamons are not created equal, and in the foodie world, Vietnamese cinnamon has emerged as the most prized of the bunch. The bunch, by the way, includes an array of cinnamons and cassias, all from evergreen trees of the Cinnamomum genus. Some are from Indonesia, others from China, Sri Lanka or Mexico. Dark reddish/brown and lushly aromatic, Vietnamese cinnamon is favored for its distinctly sweet, peppery, spicy flavor. Less tannic and more robust than its relatives, it delivers a powerful taste whether used solo - as in those gooey rolls or spirally bread - or in combo with other spices - in a curry or pumpkin pie spice blend, for example. All that potency comes from an extraordinarily high volatile oil content - the highest of all the cinnamons about 1 to 6 percent, compared with .5 to 2.5 percent in other cinnamons. The high oil content also helps the flavor disperse fully; there’s no mistaking what spice you’re dealing with when you taste a dish seasoned with Vietnamese cinnamon. Tips for using Vietnamese cinnamon: Browse any assortment of baking recipes and you’ll find cinnamon in the ingredients lists for cakes, muffins, breads, cookies, pies, bread puddings, cobblers, crisps, and pastries. It also has a special affinity for fruits, such as apples, apricots,

cherries, pears, bananas and citrus. Cinnamon’s warm flavor also shows up in plenty of savory dishes - soups, sauces, chutneys, catsup, pickles, fish, meat and poultry glazes, as well as many ethnic recipes. Its pungent sweetness also enhances grains and hearty vegetables like carrots, squash, potatoes, beets and onions. In most savory dishes, cooks prefer Vietnamese cinnamon over other cinnamons because of its ability to hold its own alongside other lively ingredients. When using Vietnamese cinnamon to spice a beverage - a hot cocoa, an eggnog, hot cider, coffee or tea - you might start by stirring it into your prepared beverage just a bit at a time. Once you nail your preferred amount, you can add it directly right into your coffeemaker basket along with your ground coffee, your mulling cider pot or your tea blend, for example. Vietnamese cinnamon also partners well with other spices like cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, allspice and black pepper. Here are a few places you might not have considered using cinnamon: * Soups, stews and chili * Peanut brittle * Popcorn seasoning * Spice rubs for meats * Grilling marinades for fruits * Rice and tapioca puddings * Chocolate cakes * Spiced nuts * Granola and muesli

Here’s a recipe that shows off the vibrant flavor of Vietnamese cinnamon: Poached Cinnamon Cheese Pears 4 large pears 3/4 cup pear juice 1 tablespoon honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cinnamon stick 2 tablespoons golden raisins 4 ounces softened cream cheese 1/4 teaspoon Vietnamese cinnamon powder 3 tablespoons slivered almonds Slice pears in half lengthwise and core. Place in a saucepan. In a small bowl combine juice, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon stick and raisins; pour over the pears. Cover and simmer about half an hour, until pears are just tender. Place pears on a serving platter. Blend together cream cheese, leftover cooking liquid and cinnamon powder. Spoon some of the mixture atop the center of each pear, sprinkle with almonds, and serve. Makes four large servings. For a collection of seven savory recipes with cinnamon from various publications, visit www.theKitchn.com. Vietnamese cinnamon is available through Frontier Natural Products. They offer their organic Vietnamese cinnamon (5 percent oil) in one-pound bulk bags as well as 1.31-ounce bottles. This brand won the Gold Star Award from the restaurant industry publication Sante Magazine, who deemed it “a standout.”

notifications. And, with advances in mobile technology, gifting money is easier and more convenient than ever. For instance, using Bank of America’s online or mobile banking you can send money to another person using only their email address or mobile phone number, saving time, energy and effort. Prefer to send a check? No problem. Customers can simply access Bank of America’s mobile banking app on their smartphone or tablet to securely deposit checks on their schedule. Express gratitude - It’s important to remember that above all else, holiday tipping is really holiday thanking, extending a courteous gesture as a result of service throughout the year. No matter how much or what you decide to give, it’s always important to offer your thanks with a hand-written note or holiday card. After all, it’s the thought and sentiment behind the gesture that matters most, not the gift itself. Consider these holiday tipping guidelines from Post:

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE |

(BPT) - When the holiday season arrives, so too does the enigma of holiday tipping. What’s supposed to be a sign of gratitude for great service, can quickly turn into stress as you try to decide if and how much you should tip the handyman, mail carrier, babysitter and many more. Lizzie Post, co-author of “Emily Post’s Etiquette, 18th edition” and great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post, knows the finer points of tipping during the holiday season, including who to tip, how much to tip and how to stay on budget doing so. Post has teamed with up Bank of America, and here are some of her suggestions: Make a list - The key to holiday tipping is to plan ahead so nobody gets overlooked. A tip is appropriate for people who have provided their services throughout the year, like your dog walker, housekeeper, personal trainer, hairstylist, doorman and trash collector. Don’t forget to think of the entire family in the process, as well - it’s always good to recognize babysitters, day care providers and nannies. Scale appropriately - The general rule of thumb for holiday tipping is up to the cost of one instance of service. However, this does not ring true for everyone on your list. Individuals who provide service on a more regular basis, such as an au pair or housekeeper, may require additional recognition, such as one week’s pay. Some people who may appreciate a gift, but most likely cannot accept cash, include your child’s teacher, health care professionals and government employees, like your mail carrier. By making gift purchases for these individuals with a rewards card, such as BankAmericard Cash Rewards(TM) card, you can earn cash back on every purchase, so when the holidays conclude, you have extra money in your pocket. Leverage technology - The holiday season is a hectic time of year for many people, so leverage technology to make life easier. Using easy-to-use tools, such as Bank of America’s mobile application, you can stay on top of account balances for gift giving and set up alerts to get balance

of Santa alive. In addition to the standard traditions of leaving cookies and milk out for the jolly old man, come up with new ways to evoke the essence of Santa. Spray peppermint air freshener around the tree and other places Santa is sure to visit. Use a large boot to make a footprint in a plush rug. Find a way to trigger noise on the roof to give kids the impression that Mr. Claus himself has arrived. Extra measures to keep Santa alive can help everyone enjoy the holiday that much more. * Take advantage of opportunities to spend time with Santa. Parents and children alike have many opportunities to spend time with Santa during the holiday season, including photo opportunities at the mall and personalized videos sent directly to youngsters’ email accounts. Elf dolls and breakfast with Santa at a nearby restaurant are other opportunities to spread the magic. Make the most of these opportunities over the course of the holiday season. * Spread some Christmas cheer. Santa’s job is to bring presents to the world’s children. Channel the notion that giving is better than receiving and spend time giving back to others as a family. Schedule a day when you can distribute gifts at a senior center or arrange to bring gifts to a foster child. Bake cookies and deliver cellophane-wrapped dishes to all of your neighbors. These activities put the emphasis on giving. Keeping the tradition of Santa Claus alive can help adults and children alike enjoy a more festive holiday season.

e had a broad face and a little round belly that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf. And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself. - “A Visit From St. Nicholas” Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without Santa Claus. Santa will forever be ingrained in the holiday season, serving as an endearing symbol of the season regardless of your religious affiliation. Parents typically go to great lengths to ensure their children enjoy the holiday season. By keeping the magic of Santa alive, parents can add a special touch to the holiday season for their youngsters. Children may become more skeptical of Santa around the time they turn 10, but there are plenty of ways to encourage this spirit to live on year after year. * Read an uplifting story. The holidays are ripe with stories that tug at the heartstrings. Parents can take their children to the library and rent a Christmas tale or take home a book of holiday stories, reading a different one before bed each night. Encourage children to write their own positive stories of what the holidays mean to them and read them aloud to family and friends. The book “101 Ways to Keep the Spirit of Santa Alive: For “Kids” From 1 to 92” by John Hagerman is a great way to get everyone in the house enthusiastic about Santa. * Keep the magic flowing. Children who believe in Santa for an extra year or two often come from families that keep the magic

Erica Benson – ebenson@shawmedia.com

Glenbard East’s Darryl Jones brings the ball downcourt in a Nov. 25 game against Glenbard North. The Rams are struggling in the win-loss department but are improving as the season progresses.

Results mask Rams’ improvement By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – The stark contrast from a year ago for Glenbard East’s boys basketball team was apparent in the Rams’ trip to West Aurora last Friday. Last year, the Rams won two exciting games that went down to the buzzer against the Blackhawks in a pair of games that ultimately decided the DuPage Valley Conference title. In this year’s first meeting, West Aurora won by 33 points. “We knew going in it was going to be a little bit of a struggle early on just because

Next game Who: Glenbard East at Naperville Central What: DuPage Valley Conference game When: 7:30 p.m. Friday Where: 440 W. Aurora Ave., Naperville

we were so young,” Glenbard East coach Scott Miller said. “There is significant growth with this group, which is the exciting part. Every game we’ve gotten a little bit better.” The Rams are 1-5 heading

into tonight’s DVC game at Naperville Central. It’s not the kind of start the team was hoping for, but growing pains are a part of the process for this squad. Miller argued his team’s improvement in recent games has been hidden by the fact that they’ve played quality opposition in Hinsdale Central, Rich South and West Aurora. “We’re playing better teams, too,” he said. “West Aurora is good. That’s a tough place to play for anybody.” The Blackhawks led by three points late in the first half before making a big run to close the half as they went on to win 64-31. Miller said

playing in the charged atmosphere at West Aurora’s gym was a learning experience for many of the team’s younger players. The Rams may be in the midst of their toughest stretch of the season. West Aurora and Naperville Central are expected to be among the contenders in the DVC. The next DVC game is Dec. 20 against Glenbard North, which is off to a 4-1 start, and after that is the competitive Jack Tosh Holiday Tournament at York. Miller’s task is to keep the team from getting down on themselves after the slow start.

“I think there’s a little bit of frustration,” the coach said. “We keep stressing to them that they need to keep their eye on the prize.” On the upside, Jaron Hall has been starring for the Rams. The senior guard is the only starter back from a year ago and is playing like it. In addition to putting up big points, the talented guard is taking on a more multi-dimensional role this season. “Jaron is playing out of his mind,” Miller said. “He had a bad game against West [Aurora]. We knew that was going to happen at some point if he wasn’t able to shoot well.”

COLLEGE NOTES

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

ED • Friday, December 13, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

With the cold weather, college fall sports are nearing their conclusion. A number of local products contributed to postseason success for their college teams. Others didn’t make the postseason, but still saw individual success. Here are some of the highlights among those groups.

Shannon leads Butler receivers Brendan Shannon, a Montini graduate from Lombard, led Butler football in receptions (76), yards (1,041) and touchdowns (six). The senior wide receiver helped the Bulldogs win the Pioneer Football League title and earn a spot in the FCS Division I playoffs. Butler lost to Tennessee State 31-0 in the first round. Shannon’s 1,041 yards were the second most in season in Butler history. He finished fifth on Butler’s all-time receiving list with 2,027 yards.

North Central College’s football team will play in an NCAA Division III semifinal game at Mount Union (Ohio) tomorrow, and several local products have helped the Cardinals get there. Senior starting defensive back Connor Douglas (Lombard, Glenbard South) has played in every game this season and has put up solid stats across the board. He has 29 tackles, including 23 solo and two tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, one interception and six passes defended. Junior starting linebacker Jason Callahan (Glenbard East) has seen action in every game this season and has 32 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and one interception, which came in a 52-24 quarterfinal win over Wisconsin-Platteville in the second round the playoffs. Freshman Dom Battaglia (Willowbrook) has played in six games this season as a defensive back and has recorded 10 total tackles, a sack and a forced fumble.

Glenbard East trio helps UWW to perfect season

Parisi gets feet wet at Morehead State

Three Glenbard East grads were a part of the Wisconsin-Whitewater women’s soccer team’s undefeated regular season. Sophomore defender Jessica Grumstrup played in 16 matches and made seven starts for the Warhawks. Sophomore midfielder Erin Mrazek made 10 substitute appearances. Freshman goalkeeper Veronica Fairbairn made just one appearance off the bench while acclimating to college soccer. The Warhawks won the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament and made it to the second round of the Division III NCAA Tournament before losing 1-0 to Capital University. Whitewater finished the season 17-1-4.

Addison Trail graduate Tonia Parisi, a freshman on Morehead State women’s soccer, made five substitute appearances for the Eagles this fall. The Eagles won the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament to earn a bid in the NCAA Tournament, where they lost to Wake Forest, 2-0, in the first round.

D’Ambrose cracks top five in YSU career assists Casey D’Ambrose, an Addison Trail graduate, finished her volleyball career at Youngstown State University

with 959 assists this fall, a new career high. She played in all of the Penguins’ 1,212 sets and also led the team with 24 aces. She brought her career assist total to 2,658, good for fifth on the all-time list at the program. D’Ambrose’s final three seasons each made it into the top 20 for assists in a season at YSU.

District 88 pair help Benedictine soccer Addison Trail graduate Julio Lopez and Willowbrook grad Eric Lukitsh helped Benedictine soccer win the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference for the first time in program history. Lopez, a senior midfielder, was NACC player of the week once and was second on the team with five assists and scored a pair of goals. Lukitsh, a freshman defender, started all 19 matches, scored a goal and was named second-team all-NACC.

Suburban Life ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

MOLLY KRAWCZYKOWSKI Willowbrook | Senior | Basketball Why Krawczykowski was selected: Krawczykowski scored double figures in each of Willowbrook’s conference wins during the past seven days. Willowbrook senior guard Molly Krawczykowski has the Warriors undefeated and on top of the West Suburban Gold. She scored 14 points in a crucial 60-54 win at Proviso East on Saturday and followed that up by scoring all 13 of her points in the first half of a 69-24 win against Leyden on Tuesday. Willowbrook is 8-0 and hoping to win the conference title. Krawczykowski, the Oak Trust Credit Union Athlete of the Week, spoke with sports reporter Dan Santaromita about the team’s hot start. What do you think of the team’s start to the season? Well, our goal is to go undefeated in conference this year, so we’ve been working really hard and it’s nice to see us starting to reach our goal.

Was the win at Proviso East the biggest game so far? Yeah. We were all nervous going into it because it was our first big game and we were down at halftime. Then we just all came together after halftime, played really hard and came back and won. It was important to us.

Who on the team has impressed you? We have a sophomore, Danielle Velasquez, who has been working really hard. She’s impressed a lot of people. She also hustles and she’s always working hard so it’s nice to have her on the team.

Do you have any college plans yet? I’m still undecided between basketball and track.

Are the Browns the cupcake the Bears need? Hub Arkush

With the Bears desperately needing to close out the season with three more wins to keep their hopes of winning the NFC North and a trip to the playoffs alive, the Cleveland Browns would appear to be exactly the cupcake the doctor ordered. After all, the Browns are 4-9, mired in a four-game losing streak, and stuck in last place in the AFC North. Ah, but looks can be deceiving. The Bears have faced three other lastplace teams this season in the Vikings, Redskins and Rams, and their record is 1-3 against them, with a loss to each. While the Browns record is weak, they do own victories over the Bengals and Ravens, and they actually had a 26-14 lead last week in New England with only two minutes remaining before the Patri-

ots made a miraculous comeback with the help of some questionable officiating. This is a team the Bears absolutely cannot afford to look past if they don’t want to risk all the ground they just made with Monday night’s win over the Cowboys. The good news for the Bears is the Browns’ greatest struggles are in the area of the Bears’ greatest challenge. While the Bears are still dead last in the NFL against the run, the Browns are only 28th in the NFL in rushing and 27th in average gain per run. That is in large part due to their early season trade of Trent Richardson to the Colts, which may have netted them an extra first round draft choice in the 2014 draft, but left them with the aged Willis McGahee, who is averaging only 2.7 yards a carry, and youngsters Chris Ogbonnaya and Fozzy Whittaker. Cleveland is better throwing the football, ranking 10th in passing yardage, but they’re only 28th in average gain per pass and are 18th in interceptions and sacks allowed.

herma Tru Doors

Part of the problem is the inability to keep quarterbacks healthy. Brian Hoyer had won the starting job before tearing up a knee and going down for the year, and former Bears’ quarterback Jason Campbell was playing very well with an 88.0 passer rating before battling a concussion for several weeks. Campbell did make it back last week to throw for 391 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions at New England, the bulk of it going to Josh Gordon. Gordon is enjoying an All-Pro type season with 71 receptions, 1,400 yards and eight touchdowns. He will pose the biggest challenge for the Bears’ defense, Tim Jennings and Zack Bowman in particular. Tight end Jordan Cameron also is extremely dangerous. He’s caught 72 passes for 825 yards and seven touchdowns on the year. For all their prowess in the passing game, the Browns still average only 19.8 points a game, good for 27th in the league is scoring. The Browns’ defense has been ex-

cellent most of the season in keeping opposing offenses off the field, ranking seventh in total defense, fourth against the run and second in average yards per rushing play. They are eighth against the pass, and third in average yards per pass play. Big plays are the Browns defense’s Achilles heel, though, as it’s only 24th in interceptions, 14th in sacks and 19th in points allowed. Paul Kruger and rookie first-round draft pick Barkevious Mingo are their best pass rushers. D’Qwell Jackson is the club’s leading tackler from the inside linebacker spot, and Phil Taylor and Ahtyba Rubin do a really nice job up front at nose tackle and the five techniques, respectively, in the Browns’ base 3-4 defense. If the Bears’ offense plays like it did against the Cowboys, it’ll be an extremely tough out for Cleveland. But if the Bears can’t pressure Campbell in the pocket, he, Gordon and Cameron will give the Bears another shootout like all the other last-place clubs they’ve faced.

Trains serve many purposes. They are used for moving cargo, for getting workers to the places they need to go in big cities, and for travel and sightseeing. Trains move fast and strive to be on time, running on strict schedules so passengers know exactly when the trains are going to arrive to pick them up and drop them off. Help unscramble the schedule for the train. Take a look at the town names and times below, and put the stops in order (1 through 9) next to the pole on the tracks. Start at the irst stop early in the morning, and the last stop late at night. - Ozark Village, 3:21 p.m. - Lincoln, 10:01 a.m. - arapahoe, 11:52 a.m. - Roadway, 9:30 p.m. - Lionshead, 8:53 a.m.
